@JUSTUS Williams has he "begged " for a pardon or even admitted to a crime to be pardoned for? My point is what he did shouldn't be a crime. If holding government to the same standards of accountability as the individual is a crime, the government doesn't work for us , it rules us . It sounds to me like he would rather have a "fair" trial. Notice the quotation marks. What the word fair means to the government isn't really fair.
I got chills when he said “I was waiting for a hero but there are no hero’s, only heroic decisions” You are a true hero Edward Snowden. The world needs more people like you and Joe Rogan in it. Thank you
He loves to think of himself as a hero though don’t he? Vigilante complex gone awry. Where’s the rubles at Snowden? Was it worth the blood of soldiers who you compromised by trying to hack a system? The blood of the children in Ukraine shed by the very government who is now “protecting” you?
Timeless!! So, so, so timeless!! Thank you for actually posting it!! It must be timestamped into the comment, though 'cause there's a need to hear it over and over again because of this exact CHILL factor you mention. Yeah, I feel it too!! That's the thing about the universe, if you think about it... it's meaningful way of communicating the correct direction for us to find our place in the cosmos and that is indeed through vibration and frequencies that come along in the form of these! Judging by the positivity of comments and responses thus far (4 years and a couple of moths apart) we are not alone!! People are generally "chillzed the fuck out" by the mere scale of revelation of it all!! And Joe!! Well, he's been a godsend in its own, but for a podcast to reach an effect so powerful as you've shared now! I think sums it all up!!! Godspeed, @PerctlyYou13!! Your comment = mindblowing!! Timestamp it please!!
****You are a true hero Edward Snowden.*** not certain about that - but Snowden is VERY CORRECT that 'we' have created the "unlimited' government" ! Sad, but true ... and that is HOW the SOCIETY survives ! ( since the 'individuals; CANNOT be trusted 😞 - since THEY are too altruistic ! )
@@apollo1573 I went to spotify just to check him out. He said when he moved there he would have the podcasts, that were removed from youtube, reposted on spotify... he lied. He lied. Joe is a hypocrite for speaking out against censorship, and then being part of it. Sellout. Pos
Thanks Joe for letting this man talk. I've seen interviews with him and they kept cutting him off and hinting that he's a traitor. This man is a national hero.
Danny Short that’s propaganda for you. If you hear something enough times you will believe it no matter how accurate it is especially if you hear the narrative before you’re invested in the topic. I remember years ago being asked about Snowden and without knowing why or anything about him I called him a traitor, glad my friend called me on my shit
"Patriotism is not about a loyalty to to government. Patriotism in fact is not about loyalty to anything. Patriotism is a constant effort to do good for the people of your country"
My Dad and I are ex military. I quoted this to him. He said "snowden was a traitor, and he leaked classified information." I lost so much respect for him. This is the pinnacle of knowing where you came from and what you stand for. He also shit on Hong Kong and the people, so he's kind of a huge POS.
Came across this video only now, 3 years later.... what an insightful conversation, listened to the whole thing in 1 go. Years passed but the things he talks about are even more important now than ever....
@fire rises you are entirely missing the point of the quote. Loyalty as a trait is not inherently good or bad, it is only good in service of good. You just said "i disagree loyalty is loyalty"
@fire rises You didnt understand anything. "Consider the dog that is beat by his owner only to stand by his side regardless. That is loyalty " That is example of loyalty in the service of something Bad :)
@fire rises That is just blind loyalty. Consider a priest who is aware of confessions being recorded and archived but stays silent even though something he doesn't agree with has happened. That is a direct analogy to your statement and essentially the situation Snowden was in. That is definitely loyalty but is also complicity. The issue is the U.S. govt conducting warrantless surveillance and data mining of U.S. citizens. He felt like the American people should know what their govt is doing to them. There was no "proper way" to do it so he had to whistleblow.
Love how Joe is quiet for Edward instead of interrupting/talking over with more questions like he usually does. This allows the speaker to keep their train of thought and shows respect.
FR I have ADHD and there’s so many layers to most things when I tell a story some people don’t have the patience. Glad this interview is still up on here ❤
agreed. Joe's really good at giving his guest the pedestal and allowing them to speak entire thoughts and stories. this is the only in "interview" with snowden that i've seen where he can actually get into the philosophies and thought processes behind doing what he did
@Saturnius If you want to engage in a conversation with someone, it behooves you not to call what they're saying "dumb" right off the bat. At least make a decent argument before that. Regarding what I said: Jordan Peterson explains better than I ever could the connection between Love and Truth, look it up.
This one lone, rogue intelligence dude did irreparable damage to the American Intelligence Apparatus. The CIA and NSA, et.al., won't put it in those words, of course, but it's very true, and that's something I've been celebrating ever since it occurred in 2013.
I would have preferred he chime in there a little more to clarify, ask questions, etc. But better to be silent than turn the topic away to MMA or something.
"But at the end of the day, you have to recognize if you’re trying to eliminate all risks from your life, what you’re actually doing is eliminating all possibility from your life. "
8odwrhs funny, I actually just went to see Thom Yorke the other night and security was so insane I actually found myself saying “I would rather roll the dice on ‘safety’ than deal with this irrational amount of security”. So, definitely...
@@Overton_Windows i don't like to fly at all because of that. I much rather spend 2-3 days driving than take a 6 hr flight due to the security theater. Besides with all that theater it often really is not a 6hr flight but more like 12-14hrs. At least when you are driving, typically you have co driver so you can take naps, and you can take breaks whenever.

kossnfx he’s a good interviewer. His input is only necessary to draw out new material from the subject. Snowden is an interesting and articulate open book. No need to interject.
True American hero. They save people like Brittany griner who actually commit foreign crimes. But yet this man is shunned and exiled from the country he loves and tried to save.
The best part is how Joe is silent throughout the podcast. He's curious, he knows the guest has limited time and the criticality of the topic, he just let's Edward speak without interruption.
I agree I think the best part IS that joe is quiet. We want to hear everything ES has to say uninterrupted the guys a hero and genius and when your in the presence of such a man you should just L I s t e n
Also with the lag, it would have seemed like he was cutting Snowden off...i mean..significantly worse than he normally would do. It was actually kind of unfortunate because i've heard all of this before and i'm sure theres a bunch of questions Joe would have asked that would get answers that haven't come up in other interviews
2.45 AM in India. Snowden I respect your bravery, your work inspired me to always do the RIGHT thing instead of falling onto the idea of country, state,religion etc. Joe you are a legend to bring a platform to such people. My life has drastically improved after watching JRE, got to know about so many wonderful things. From Navy seals to weird scientist, I learn from everyone and applied a lot in my life. Feeling humble Thankyou Mr. Joe rogan.
"Patriotism is not about loyalty to the government, patriotism in fact isn't about being loyal to anything; Patriotism is a constant effort to do good for the people of your country." ~Edward Snowden~
@@OhioPatriot308 Exactly, he's like "during a moment of fear people are vulnerable. Here comes Donald Trump and says I'll stop them" uh yeah seeing your country flooded with Invaders, a dwindling local population, and the outsourcing of middle class jobs offshore sucks. Trump has been working on his promises. Although I don't agree with Trump 100% like on the Israel loyalty I see Trump as exactly what America needed. Snowden is probably a socialist or commie. What a waste.
He said that he didn't want the issue he brought up to be about him. This is an interview of him, naturally it will be about him, the two things aren't the same.
It’s just frustrating when he doesn’t answer questions directly. But I don’t mind hearing him talk a lot. Joe asked good questions and he Snowden talks so long he forgets what joe originally asked
Imagine someone complaining about Snowden talking too much, given the context of what he's talking about and his exile. Those opinions are worthless here
Before watching the video, I 100% expected this tho. The guy really likes the sound of his own voice if you get what I mean, he thinks he is some kind of philosopher and you can see it very clearly in the way he talks and the type of thing that he "laughs" so often at (they are almost never actually funny stuff, it's a different type of laughter). I do have respect for him tho.
@@rickym5226 Actually this quote wasn't in any of the chapters of 1984. I found it in the authors notes in the back of the book. Remember when he wrote this book he was referring to communist/socialist Russia. If you're into that sort of thing.
This is the main reason why I follow the JRE. He appears equally as engaged with the discussion as I am, which gives his interviews a genuine quality, regardless the guest.
This guy is an American hero who has made a huge sacrifice so the American people can know the truth about how the corrupt government illegally spies on its own citizens. He should be pardoned and praised. This kind of leaking should be encouraged and not punished when discovered by government workers regardless of classification. It’s the only way to keep the criminal agencies in check
@@Tom-Servo Imagine if our collective government Administrations were made up of folks with even 1/10th of the intelligence and moral character of Snowden, we really could have a world fit to bring Children into instead of this dystopian Asylum ruled by Criminal Psychopaths.
@@nicktrice4921 you got that right..and the backasswards infuriating thing us if they villianize or condemn you, too many people that shouldn't, choose to go with THAT version and treat you "as if"... And chaos, disorder, wins the day..
@Subversive Control so you are FOR the mass surveillance and databasing of civilians, the social credit score system and an authoritarian government that does not give a damn about the people?
@Subversive Control This guy exposes traitors like Arnold and Rosenberg. Our govt. is corrupt. There is a deep state bureaucracy. It is corrupt. To expose any of it is a good thing.
quick google search estimates his avg fee for a public speaking at $200,000....that plus "...in my book" "...in my book" "...in my book" add up to a very lucrative life for him. I think his BS flannel shirt disguise makes him way to obvious. seems like subtle russian influence especially when equating election meddling from both countries.
“I always wondered why, when things went wrong, someone didn’t do something. Then I realised, that someone was me”! Edward Snowden was, & will always be, a very brave man!
Amazing. Peer pressure can be so fucking strong that if feels lile suicide to go against it. Though this is true some people realize a cause stronger than themselves: the truth. Thanks for the comment.
Blankets of public neutrality. Thats why you are free to comment why he's not in jail. Complementary methods of using the internet as a alibis. Preconditioned awareness preludes. Softly disorganised by alchemical nature and reengineered software affidavits
I used to always read that until finally realized that most t&a in America are identical and have certain requirements in each country so it's redundant to read. If each country announces any changes... It's publicly announced and everyone knows.
And afterwards, El Chapo gave Uncle Joey (through Spanish translation) an ounce of the good stuff and low and behold Joey Diaz was back on the Cocaine Train..LIKE A DOCTOR!
Many times in this interview I hear this quote in my Head “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” And I'm worried because all these good men going to trial did something for all of us and they're in danger for it. Heck, one guy called out "Hey we're killing people and doing a crime against humanity" and then they went no, we can't allow someone to step forward to point it out. Is that really the best we can do in the civilized world? Or maybe we're not that civilized yet.
Exactly. I'm so fucking saddened when Snowden says to the effect "and if you don't know who I am I'm known for....." I mean that he could be forgotten for what he did is the ultimate death of freedom. Every American and freedom wanting person should know what happened with him.
HUMANS ARE ABSOLUTELY *_NOT_* CIVILIZED AND IT'S TERRIFYING ME! TERRIFYING BECAUSE WE CAN BARELY KEEP A LID ON OUR NUKE CAPABILITIES, CONSTANTLY WAR, ARE ON THE VERGE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT PPL CAN MAKE IN THEIR HOME TO CREATE WMDS (E.G. VIRUS'), WILL SOON HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE AI SINGULARITY.... Destroying ecosystem, over-breeding, still stuck on tribal 'my team vs your team' mentality.........etc etc... AND WE ARE NOT MATURE/EVOLVED ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH ANY OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Everything that we do now lasts forever. Not because we want to remember, but because we're not allowed to forget'. A perfect assessment of the internet
Fun fact. In Europe we have a right to forget and can, at least inside your individual country, demand that google deletes your google shit. You can also demand google to send you ALL the data they have about you.
Jason Stillman .....Not sure if we should trust Snowden. If Hollywood did a movie then it probably means Snowden is a CIA asset. Hollywood is a tool of the dark forces. They take their marching orders from someone else. Snowden.... Should he have a Pardon or be in restraints? 🤔
@@dae4162 He always has a choice, but knowing that Snowden has probably been silenced more than any other American he's interviewed, he respectfully didn't try to alter, interrupt, or limit Edward Snowden's big opportunity to speak despite his oppressive treatment. Mad respect to Joe.
@@adl.4611 Sometimes definitelty. Joe occasionally used to have sobering topics that he handled with maybe one too many blunts before the recording session which made it seem he was being facetious.
Snowden is controlled opposition. JRE and every so called intellectual and subject talked about are very surface level. You are doing exactly what they want you to do. No list for you.
This? This video gets you put on a list? Lol!!! Yeah a list of people who believe in fairy tales. I think you're insulting everyone in history who was ever put on a real list and murdered for their beliefs.
Richard Corrigan he’s been the kind of media by not confining to all the standard media bullshit talking points and actually take the time to listen to his guest and not make them feel stupid...unless it’s Eddie Bravo
Mr. Snowdens' long game is fantastic, almost every American loves him now and many would fall on their sword for him. He saw it, we're now living it. And if you can't tell, it doesn't matter which politician you love or hate it's all part of the show.
Except RFK Jr who says publicly / frequently he'll pardon Snowden (and Asaige) day one, in case you missed it and/or haven't picked up on the fact that virtually all media are smearing RFK to keep us from listening directly to him - sorta like Snowden ;-)
@@lowrez-v3d The government collusion with the MSM continues for sure, and they do hate what he stands for. For me, he's the democrat party I grew up not liking and I would certainly prefer him over any other candidate from that party. Personally, I like him more than I like trump for his bearing and lack or ego. The one thing I can't abide is his promise to, at some point, sign into law the banning of an adequate defense against tyranny. That will always scare the crap out of over half the country.
A bit like Mandela whose efforts haven't saved South Africa. It takes more than a few heroes to make the world just when everyone else is happy to look the other way
@@muslimsfortulsigabbard8646 steals classified information.. and avoided all the proper protocols regarding whistle blowing.. definitely not a traitor XD
and that is no disrespect to Joe Rogan. This may have been one of his best contributions to Liberty , Justice and the American way! Kudo's Joe Rogan and Edward Snowden!!
Yeah, and I didn't like it. Most of what Edward was saying is already public knowledge. I expected Joe to question the hell out of him, but the latency made that a bit difficult. Still I didn't like it at all. This was the guest I wanted the most, but unexpectedly this became the podcast that disappointed me the most. And Edward way of talking is just sooo boring and long-winded. Maybe I watched to many of his speeches..?
Love how neutral and respectful Joe is to all his guests despite whatever society or media may be saying about said guest, and not only talking about this guest, I have seen him interview a wide range of ppl. He's such a great interviewer. He would have made a great reporter. Very unbiased, and informative. Good convo topics too in all his episodes.
Used to think that.... Until he tip toes around taking about Hilary Clinton. In 2016 says he thought she was the more logical choice for a president than Trump....she was more suited for the roll ECT ECT .... Yeahhhh if he is truly as intelligent to believe in other topics labeled in the "conspiracy" category... He should know 💯 WITHOUT A DOUBT how corrupt she is, and what a GIGANTIC POS she is. No if, ands, or buts. Him, now dancing around that FACT..... Very questionable now.
@@skypallman6169 might be true we wouldn't have any possible way to know what goes on in her head, but the fact that trump became president shows the entire world how much puppetry the presidency really is. maybe she did want to change things, maybe even stuff her husband did, we will never know. one thing that is for sure is that a man like trump is way more influence-able (by his own people, gov, secret serv, etc.) than a woman would probably be. everyone is corrupt everyone has secrets, that's because we are human. now we have trump, who in my eyes might even be better suited as he is so spontaneous. let's see what the future will behold.
Idk if I've ever seen Joe talk so little in a 3 hour interview. He also said he was honored at the end. I think Joe truly understands the scope of Edwards sacrifice.
This is the main reason I watch Rogan. He lets his guest talk without being interrupted. Rogan doesn't have the need to interject his opinions. He asks questions and shuts the hell up!
Respect to Snowden living up to Einstein's quote, "The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."
To be honest this Snowden clown just sounds like he's covering his fuck up. His story is so all over the place and half the time he has to close his eyes and look away from the camera like he practiced this story so many times that he has started to believe his own bill shit. No wonder it took him 6 months before he would speak to media. The dude sounds like a wack job who probably shouldn't have been working in national intelligence.
luuk Pollaerts Or else he pauses and looks away from the camera because he understands the gigantic fabricated bs story that he chose to make up in order to justify his actions. Body language is not hard to read. Also his story jumps around more than a kid lying to his parents.
luuk Pollaerts "Everyone is easily manipulated but I don't think we are being manipulated" Have you not watched CNN, Fox News, NBC, CBS, or read the NY Times or Washington post? The media manipulates anyone too stupid to think on their own.
@luuk Pollaerts Can you not tell he spent 6 months fabricating a story in order to save his hide? It's pretty obvious if you understand body language. Someone telling the truth wouldn't close their eyes or look away from the camera every 2 minutes. Also his story jumps all over the place which speaks volumes to his credibility.
Most likely scenario is hes not.and he's just the fear factor guy who accidentally became the guy with the podcast that we know and love.tin foil much bros?
"If you're trying to eliminate all risks from your life, what you're actually doing is eliminating all possibility from your life." - Edward Snowden. 🔥🔥🔥
When I'm unemployed the risk of me running out of money is ever present but the possibilities of my future are spread wide. When I get a job there is no more financial risk but the possibilities of my future become narrowed to being in grey office for the rest of my life
Certainly cannot imagine any other Rogan interview on this level. The Bernie interview, which was good, isn’t even remotely in the same weight class as this.
60 minutes already did a story that even if you shut your phone off it is still tracking and uploads the data as soon as you turn you phone on. Your phone is never really off
Man, the longest I have stayed on any discussion or podcast and still not bored and in fact mr. Snowden gave me new perspective of things in my fight for equality at work prior to my disability, and for government factions that don't care much about us let alone for those that are disabled. Thank you Joe for making this possible, and Edward for sharing this light with us. 1:29:45 You don't become patriot base on where you work, patriotism is not about loyalty to government, patriotism in fact is not loyalty to anything, patriotism is a Constant Effort To Do Good for the People of your country. -Edward Snowden Amen brother, this is what makes us human and what makes us grounded.
I loved it, Joe gave a venue for Snowden to give us all this knowledge and important information we need to know. He could have interrupted, talked nonsense or whatever the media usually do but he genuinely cares about the message from Snowden being given to the public in an unbiased way. My respect for Joe Rogan just increased by this.
Yeah... Snowden can't answer questions. He's obviously a limited hangout, and he always has been. Dude's a plant. Well within the overton window, typical propaganda at every turn. People who actually threaten the state by revealing their secrets end up like Assange. Snowden has had astro turf media praise and unified narrative from the beginning. For god's sake they made an HBO documentary and a Hollywood movie about him. He got big league press coverage from the very beginning, and he didn't even reveal anything new to people who actually follow this stuff. It's controlled trickling of information, getting us used to being spied on, and giving us fake whistleblowers that still believe in the nobility of government and of the deep state, and maintains this facade that we have any control over these people. Don't believe anything this guy says. It's way worse than he'll tell us. And I think if you really look at him skeptically, it becomes obvious he's a plant. It's kind of like the Miami Herald article about Epstein; some scandalous information about our rulers is out there and picking up steam, so they manufacture a fake "whistleblower" or "investigative journalist" that's going to frame the information in a way that's beneficial to the state, that's going to sanitize it and bring the focus where they want it to be and leave out the facts and details that are actually revealing and important, and usually isn't actually telling us anything new. It's propaganda 101, and you can read all about how this was done in the early days of our propaganda system back in WWI and WWII. It's just amazing to me that Snowden has been so effective, because when you step back it just seems so obvious. Just look at the difference between Assange and his actual whistleblowers, how little coverage the content of that treasure trove of earth shattering leaks got, how Assange has been locked up and tortured and silenced... And then look at the Snowden coverage. For fucks sake Joseph Gordon Levitt played him in a hollywood movie... He gave his first leaks to The Guardian and The Intercept "journalists" and wouldn't shut up about how he's trusting in their "expertise" as establishment media to tell the people what they need to hear, and how laudable and smart they are and how we need to trust them and how really we just need to have a "conversation" lead by the serious people over at The Guardian... Every propaganda outlet in the west was front paging this guy the day after he "came out", to tell us the NSA is mass data collecting...? Wasn't even a revelation at the time, this was already known. But all the hype made it seem like was saying something important. This guy is as fake as it gets. And honestly he just seems slimier and more arrogant the more I see him. His take on government is so textbook statist and in line with the same propaganda we get drilled into us from birth... But he's got this atttitude and aura of being super deep and intellectual while giving us the safest, most typical neoliberal talking points. Blech, it's just gross how well this propaganda works, and gets otherwise skeptical people to fall in line.
These ultra long interviews where the guest has time to explain his point of view are a game changer. Very well done Joe. This is public service. No one else with your audience is doing it this way.
@@josephlombardo4825 rubbish...🙄 Most interrupt every minute of so....I wass holding my breath at times waiting for Joe to do this, he didn't, he was a gracious humble and professional host and interviewer!
That's Holden Caulfield too, from that little novel seventy years ago. Holden loves it when his classes go off topic, because that's when all the worthwhile stuff starts to happen. I loved hearing that from Rogan too, today.

He needs to be pardoned. He’s a patriot.
Can he even be pardoned? Don't you need to be actually incarcerated or something?
@JUSTUS Williams Well if he can be pardoned he should be pardoned
Just accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. What Snowden needs is charges dropped and immunity granted because no crime was committed.
@JUSTUS Williams has he "begged " for a pardon or even admitted to a crime to be pardoned for? My point is what he did shouldn't be a crime. If holding government to the same standards of accountability as the individual is a crime, the government doesn't work for us , it rules us .

I do not understand why he is not looked at as a hero? Every American should be thanking him? I just do not get it. ..
Danny Short that’s propaganda for you. If you hear something enough times you will believe it no matter how accurate it is especially if you hear the narrative before you’re invested in the topic. I remember years ago being asked about Snowden and without knowing why or anything about him I called him a traitor, glad my friend called me on my shit
AGREED.
"Patriotism is not about a loyalty to to government. Patriotism in fact is not about loyalty to anything. Patriotism is a constant effort to do good for the people of your country"
I dug this one in particular as well! Ed is a beast.
Many forget or twist this to no end
My Dad and I are ex military. I quoted this to him.
He said "snowden was a traitor, and he leaked classified information." I lost so much respect for him.
This is the pinnacle of knowing where you came from and what you stand for.
He also shit on Hong Kong and the people, so he's kind of a huge POS.
@Alaska Squatchin Xtreeme you're an idiot and a dangerous person to society.
Exactly. Ed Snowden is more patriotic than all of these sorry politicians combined. They care only about the size of their wallets.

"Loyalty is only good in the service of something good" FACTS
@fire rises you are entirely missing the point of the quote. Loyalty as a trait is not inherently good or bad, it is only good in service of good. You just said "i disagree loyalty is loyalty"
@fire rises Read the quote again. you didnt understand it.
@fire rises You didnt understand anything.
"Consider the dog that is beat by his owner only to stand by his side regardless. That is loyalty
"
That is example of loyalty in the service of something Bad :)
fire rises na that’s called being a dumbass. Do not encourage people to submit to abusers in the name of false loyalty.
@fire rises That is just blind loyalty. Consider a priest who is aware of confessions being recorded and archived but stays silent even though something he doesn't agree with has happened. That is a direct analogy to your statement and essentially the situation Snowden was in. That is definitely loyalty but is also complicity.
The issue is the U.S. govt conducting warrantless surveillance and data mining of U.S. citizens. He felt like the American people should know what their govt is doing to them. There was no "proper way" to do it so he had to whistleblow.
I can‘t be the only one who saw this and said out loud: „holy shit! is this for real?!“

totally true .... but even Rogan recognized that Snowden is BRILLIANT !
He's probably just as enamored as we
agreed. Joe's really good at giving his guest the pedestal and allowing them to speak entire thoughts and stories. this is the only in "interview" with snowden that i've seen where he can actually get into the philosophies and thought processes behind doing what he did

Edward Snowden, what a guy. He's been misrepresented as the enemy, when he absolutely isn't. Glad JRE let him on the podcast to speak!
I don't know any normal citizens that view him negatively, it's just those involved in the government that think this way.
This one lone, rogue intelligence dude did irreparable damage to the American Intelligence Apparatus. The CIA and NSA, et.al., won't put it in those words, of course, but it's very true, and that's something I've been celebrating ever since it occurred in 2013.
I appreciate that Joe just led Ed talk for the majority of the time. Gave him a real platform to speak on.
I would have preferred he chime in there a little more to clarify, ask questions, etc.
But better to be silent than turn the topic away to MMA or something.

00:11 📣 Edward Snowden talks about his professional life and public speaking engagements, not having a TH-cam channel.
01:11 📚 Snowden's book "Permanent Record" discusses government and technology changes post-9/11.
06:22 🕵 Snowden reveals his involvement in exposing global mass surveillance in 2013.
14:02 ⚖ Snowden emphasizes the need for checks and balances in government surveillance programs.
22:03 🎓 Snowden's background growing up in a federal family and early education in technology.
22:56 🌍 Edward Snowden discusses how he started working in web design in 1998.
25:37 💼 After 9/11, the NSA and CIA evacuated their campuses due to the lack of information sharing among intelligence agencies.
30:03 🧳 The government's response to 9/11 led to the erosion of traditional constitutional restraints on intelligence agencies.
37:12 🤝 Information sharing could have prevented 9/11, but competition between intelligence agencies hindered cooperation.
44:27 😟 In times of fear, people become vulnerable to leaders promising solutions, even if they may not have the ability to deliver them.
46:35 🎖 Edward Snowden volunteered to join the army but had to leave due to shin splints and bilateral tibial fractures.
50:23 💼 Snowden worked at the University of Maryland with basic security clearance, applied for a security guard position, and saw an opportunity to combine IT skills with a top-secret security clearance.
54:55 💻 He later worked for Dell as a senior technical official for the CIA, pitching a private cloud system to the government.
57:06 🌐 Snowden was trained to become a diplomat working as a tech expert in Geneva, Switzerland, for the CIA.
01:04:16 🤔 Snowden observed ethical concerns in intelligence work, particularly in human intelligence operations, which raised doubts about his work.
01:10:28 🕵♂ Edward Snowden reveals his role in conducting "dirty word searches" to uncover classified information.
01:12:16 📜 Stellar Wind, a domestic mass surveillance program, was exposed in 2005 and caused a scandal.
01:13:37 📜 Congress passed the Protect America Act in 2007, retroactively immunizing phone companies involved in warrantless wiretapping.
01:18:07 📜 The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendments of 2008 expanded intelligence community powers in response to scandals.
01:22:14 🕵♂ Edward Snowden discovered a classified Inspector General's report that revealed senior officials' involvement in undermining American rights.
01:35:37 📱 Technology connecting people is unprecedented and powerful, but it raises concerns about privacy and surveillance.
01:36:33 🕵 Cellphone companies, in collaboration with the government, can gather and store your calls, texts, and emails, potentially using them against you.
01:37:00 📜 The rapid growth of technology and surveillance raises questions about the legality of these actions, which may violate constitutional rights.
01:37:55 🕵 Whistleblowers play a crucial role in revealing government secrets, as legal channels often fail to address privacy and surveillance concerns.
01:53:32 🌐 Collaboration among individuals, journalists, and whistleblowers is essential to establish a body of evidence that can expose government wrongdoing.
01:58:27 🗽 Edward Snowden discusses the importance of surveillance programs in national security.
01:59:39 ⚖ Presidents often delay addressing surveillance program issues, claiming they need more time to fix them.
02:00:32 🦎 The "deep state" is the career government, not a conspiracy, and they give consistent, fear-inducing briefings to presidents.
02:03:14 🇺🇸 The American presidency has too much power and responsibility compared to other advanced democracies.
02:09:24 🌍 Edward Snowden's life in exile in Russia and his views on the Russian government and its treatment of opposition figures.
02:21:59 🌍 The world's future deteriorates with silence on injustices; making a difference requires heroic decisions, not waiting for heroes.
02:25:05 📱 Mobile devices, especially smartphones, pose significant privacy risks due to constant connections, even when seemingly inactive.
02:27:46 🗂 Data collection is pervasive, with companies and governments collecting and storing information, eroding privacy.
02:34:57 🔒 While personal mitigation strategies exist, the complexity of modern technology makes complete privacy difficult to achieve.
02:40:00 💰 Data became valuable before people fully understood its implications, making it challenging to reverse surveillance practices.
02:45:32 ⚖ A legal case from the 1970s set a precedent that personal records held by companies don't require a warrant for government access.
02:46:14 📑 This precedent allowed the government to argue that records held by companies, like phone records, don't have Fourth Amendment protection, granting them easier access.
02:46:28 🌐 This legal interpretation was established before the internet and smartphones, impacting modern society's privacy in unforeseen ways.

People complaining of how much hes talking, but thats the point, hes someone to be silenced so hes prob gonna take every chance to speak
I don't believe they're complaining, more just stating quite a remarkable detail. Cause it is quite unseen.
It’s just frustrating when he doesn’t answer questions directly. But I don’t mind hearing him talk a lot. Joe asked good questions and he Snowden talks so long he forgets what joe originally asked
Big difference between his interview and niel degrass tyson. Joe just let edward flow. Definitely the least I've heard Joe talk during an interview.
Imagine someone complaining about Snowden talking too much, given the context of what he's talking about and his exile. Those opinions are worthless here
Before watching the video, I 100% expected this tho. The guy really likes the sound of his own voice if you get what I mean, he thinks he is some kind of philosopher and you can see it very clearly in the way he talks and the type of thing that he "laughs" so often at (they are almost never actually funny stuff, it's a different type of laughter).

And I'm worried because all these good men going to trial did something for all of us and they're in danger for it. Heck, one guy called out "Hey we're killing people and doing a crime against humanity" and then they went no, we can't allow someone to step forward to point it out.

Got to give Joe big credit here. He hosted this interview perfectly. Let Snowden do all the talking. Excellent.
Jason Stillman dont think he had a choice lol
I wish he'd do this more often.
Jason Stillman .....Not sure if we should trust Snowden. If Hollywood did a movie then it probably means Snowden is a CIA asset. Hollywood is a tool of the dark forces. They take their marching orders from someone else.
Snowden....
Should he have a Pardon or be in restraints? 🤔
@@dae4162 He always has a choice, but knowing that Snowden has probably been silenced more than any other American he's interviewed, he respectfully didn't try to alter, interrupt, or limit Edward Snowden's big opportunity to speak despite his oppressive treatment. Mad respect to Joe.
@@adl.4611 Sometimes definitelty. Joe occasionally used to have sobering topics that he handled with maybe one too many blunts before the recording session which made it seem he was being facetious.
I am Brazilian and I appreciate the legacy of this great man
I’m adding this to “videos that put me on a list”
I’m adding this comment to “list of comments about videos that put me on a list”
Lol, the US is a joke in this regard when it comes to the treatment of Snowden.
Snowden is controlled opposition. JRE and every so called intellectual and subject talked about are very surface level. You are doing exactly what they want you to do. No list for you.
Serenity jokes on you, it’s not the American people, it’s the dipshits that run politics
This? This video gets you put on a list? Lol!!! Yeah a list of people who believe in fairy tales. I think you're insulting everyone in history who was ever put on a real list and murdered for their beliefs.
Does this make Rogan the current king of all media??🤔
No
Yes
Yes
Yes, easily.
Richard Corrigan he’s been the kind of media by not confining to all the standard media bullshit talking points and actually take the time to listen to his guest and not make them feel stupid...unless it’s Eddie Bravo
I can't wait for the Hot Ones episode with Snowden.
Those wings are gonna be especially cold by the time they get to Russia
I would watch that.
There wouldn't be an "explain that gram"
Lmao!
😂😂😂
Mr. Snowdens' long game is fantastic, almost every American loves him now and many would fall on their sword for him. He saw it, we're now living it.
And if you can't tell, it doesn't matter which politician you love or hate it's all part of the show.
Except RFK Jr who says publicly / frequently he'll pardon Snowden (and Asaige) day one, in case you missed it and/or haven't picked up on the fact that virtually all media are smearing RFK to keep us from listening directly to him - sorta like Snowden ;-)
@@lowrez-v3d The government collusion with the MSM continues for sure, and they do hate what he stands for. For me, he's the democrat party I grew up not liking and I would certainly prefer him over any other candidate from that party. Personally, I like him more than I like trump for his bearing and lack or ego. The one thing I can't abide is his promise to, at some point, sign into law the banning of an adequate defense against tyranny. That will always scare the crap out of over half the country.
I've never heard Joe be this quiet.
He's like dead silent listening to Ed.
The deep respect is obvious. Joe recongnices when his guests have something truly important on their heart. God bless these two men.
What's sad is not alot of people know this cuz they watch fox and cnn
Yeah, quite the eye-opener in of itself, let alone the fascinating material that was also brought to light here.
Edward is like an old sage. Love it
Snowden does not give interviews often. Joe was lucky he was able to have him on his show, and he knows it.
When Joe didn’t mention drugs in the first 5 minutes I knew this was going to be special
This is also probably the longest I've seen a guest go uninterrupted on this show.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
@@dovehq1031 haha, was bliss
Wait...he didn't mention drugs. That's crazy, have you ever tried DMT?
"You haven't read my book? No need! Chapter 1..."
lmfao, felt like an audiobook at times but still held my interest. His voice is so smooth
Why didn’t Joe Rogan prepare tho? Isn’t he reading 500 pages in October?
Best comment

and that is no disrespect to Joe Rogan. This may have been one of his best contributions to Liberty , Justice and the American way!
Kudo's Joe Rogan and Edward Snowden!!
I think joe thought that we should all hear this guys story. Props to joe
That's Joe's best trick as an interviewer, just let the person talk.
autohmae yeah I agree, but I do wish Joe spoke a bit more and asked questions
Yeah, and I didn't like it. Most of what Edward was saying is already public knowledge. I expected Joe to question the hell out of him, but the latency made that a bit difficult. Still I didn't like it at all. This was the guest I wanted the most, but unexpectedly this became the podcast that disappointed me the most. And Edward way of talking is just sooo boring and long-winded. Maybe I watched to many of his speeches..?
Snowden: * stops talking *
Me: Looks to see if I accidentally pressed pause.
His threshold setting he's using on his mic doesnt work good for podcasts
@@MrCubannn my brain too
I swear, everytime I double tap my screen to see if I paused it😂😂
Yeah that noise gate is pretty aggressive
Was listening to it while driving and had to keep checking lol if you watch the videos its obvious its not paused when he does his speech pauses.
Love how neutral and respectful Joe is to all his guests despite whatever society or media may be saying about said guest, and not only talking about this guest, I have seen him interview a wide range of ppl. He's such a great interviewer. He would have made a great reporter. Very unbiased, and informative. Good convo topics too in all his episodes.

JRE is honestly such an important platform. We really should not take it for granted.
Used to think that.... Until he tip toes around taking about Hilary Clinton. In 2016 says he thought she was the more logical choice for a president than Trump....she was more suited for the roll ECT ECT .... Yeahhhh if he is truly as intelligent to believe in other topics labeled in the "conspiracy" category... He should know 💯 WITHOUT A DOUBT how corrupt she is, and what a GIGANTIC POS she is. No if, ands, or buts. Him, now dancing around that FACT..... Very questionable now.
Yes. Subscribe
@@skypallman6169 might be true we wouldn't have any possible way to know what goes on in her head, but the fact that trump became president shows the entire world how much puppetry the presidency really is. maybe she did want to change things, maybe even stuff her husband did, we will never know. one thing that is for sure is that a man like trump is way more influence-able (by his own people, gov, secret serv, etc.) than a woman would probably be. everyone is corrupt everyone has secrets, that's because we are human. now we have trump, who in my eyes might even be better suited as he is so spontaneous. let's see what the future will behold.
Idk if I've ever seen Joe talk so little in a 3 hour interview. He also said he was honored at the end. I think Joe truly understands the scope of Edwards sacrifice.
Also Snowden's scope of storytelling eloquence.
I bet it was difficult for rogan to get him on
Yea, Snowden is great in this and some people really have a story that needs to be heard. Joe is doing the job that our MSM is supposed to do.
I literally just posted the first 9 words of this post before I read this post, glad to see others noticed it too
@@UberAnonymousRAW Fr tho it shows how much he really cared about what this man was sayin
This is the main reason I watch Rogan. He lets his guest talk without being interrupted. Rogan doesn't have the need to interject his opinions. He asks questions and shuts the hell up!
Respect to Snowden living up to Einstein's quote,
"The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."
oh god shoot me.
To be honest this Snowden clown just sounds like he's covering his fuck up. His story is so all over the place and half the time he has to close his eyes and look away from the camera like he practiced this story so many times that he has started to believe his own bill shit. No wonder it took him 6 months before he would speak to media. The dude sounds like a wack job who probably shouldn't have been working in national intelligence.
luuk Pollaerts Or else he pauses and looks away from the camera because he understands the gigantic fabricated bs story that he chose to make up in order to justify his actions. Body language is not hard to read. Also his story jumps around more than a kid lying to his parents.
luuk Pollaerts "Everyone is easily manipulated but I don't think we are being manipulated" Have you not watched CNN, Fox News, NBC, CBS, or read the NY Times or Washington post? The media manipulates anyone too stupid to think on their own.
@luuk Pollaerts Can you not tell he spent 6 months fabricating a story in order to save his hide? It's pretty obvious if you understand body language. Someone telling the truth wouldn't close their eyes or look away from the camera every 2 minutes. Also his story jumps all over the place which speaks volumes to his credibility.
Joe: Hey Edward, welcome to the show!
Edward: Thanks Joe, sit back and I’ll take it from here.
Alun Price the delay probably had something to do with that. Lots of back and forth would of been annoying.
I respect Joe for letting him talk as much as he wants, the man had a lot to say, and i'm glad he did.
....
When somthing important is to be said, its best to not interrupt
I mean it makes sense thier is more knowledge of how the classified world works than anyone else willing to take about it.
When Joe Rogan has more connections than the FBI.
He is CIA
@Mastema most likely scenario
@StraightupGamer you have very low IQ
Most likely scenario is hes not.and he's just the fear factor guy who accidentally became the guy with the podcast that we know and love.tin foil much bros?
Tin foil dildos
1 of the most important interviews Joe has ever done!
"no such thing as off-topic" That's why Joe is great

"If you're trying to eliminate all risks from your life, what you're actually doing is eliminating all possibility from your life." - Edward Snowden. 🔥🔥🔥
Really insightful
True that

When I'm unemployed the risk of me running out of money is ever present but the possibilities of my future are spread wide. When I get a job there is no more financial risk but the possibilities of my future become narrowed to being in grey office for the rest of my life
In my opinion, this is among one of the most important Joe Rogan podcast interview yet.
Alexander Overton 💯
Exactly
Certainly cannot imagine any other Rogan interview on this level.
The Bernie interview, which was good, isn’t even remotely in the same weight class as this.
Elon's in the ballpark, cant think of any other JRE at this level though

Man, the longest I have stayed on any discussion or podcast and still not bored and in fact mr. Snowden gave me new perspective of things in my fight for equality at work prior to my disability, and for government factions that don't care much about us let alone for those that are disabled. Thank you Joe for making this possible, and Edward for sharing this light with us.

I think this interview set a record for the least Joe Rogan has ever talked.
I am wondering if that was intended? I am also wondering: what are the conventions of discussion on JRE?
Haven't watched the Neil Degrasse Tyson interview yet, I'm assuming?
Sirus don’t forget about John Carmack
I loved it, Joe gave a venue for Snowden to give us all this knowledge and important information we need to know. He could have interrupted, talked nonsense or whatever the media usually do but he genuinely cares about the message from Snowden being given to the public in an unbiased way. My respect for Joe Rogan just increased by this.
Or Sir Roger Penrose ep. damnnnnn
Very happy that my Government/US History class from High School taught me this. Everyone has to know about this.

The quietest Joe Rogan has ever been.
Cause he is sober now
For the Same reasons we are all speechless.. well done Rogan
I liked that he just sat and listened so we could process and enjoy
Yeah... Snowden can't answer questions. He's obviously a limited hangout, and he always has been. Dude's a plant. Well within the overton window, typical propaganda at every turn.
People who actually threaten the state by revealing their secrets end up like Assange. Snowden has had astro turf media praise and unified narrative from the beginning. For god's sake they made an HBO documentary and a Hollywood movie about him. He got big league press coverage from the very beginning, and he didn't even reveal anything new to people who actually follow this stuff. It's controlled trickling of information, getting us used to being spied on, and giving us fake whistleblowers that still believe in the nobility of government and of the deep state, and maintains this facade that we have any control over these people.
Don't believe anything this guy says. It's way worse than he'll tell us. And I think if you really look at him skeptically, it becomes obvious he's a plant. It's kind of like the Miami Herald article about Epstein; some scandalous information about our rulers is out there and picking up steam, so they manufacture a fake "whistleblower" or "investigative journalist" that's going to frame the information in a way that's beneficial to the state, that's going to sanitize it and bring the focus where they want it to be and leave out the facts and details that are actually revealing and important, and usually isn't actually telling us anything new. It's propaganda 101, and you can read all about how this was done in the early days of our propaganda system back in WWI and WWII.
It's just amazing to me that Snowden has been so effective, because when you step back it just seems so obvious. Just look at the difference between Assange and his actual whistleblowers, how little coverage the content of that treasure trove of earth shattering leaks got, how Assange has been locked up and tortured and silenced...
And then look at the Snowden coverage. For fucks sake Joseph Gordon Levitt played him in a hollywood movie... He gave his first leaks to The Guardian and The Intercept "journalists" and wouldn't shut up about how he's trusting in their "expertise" as establishment media to tell the people what they need to hear, and how laudable and smart they are and how we need to trust them and how really we just need to have a "conversation" lead by the serious people over at The Guardian...
Every propaganda outlet in the west was front paging this guy the day after he "came out", to tell us the NSA is mass data collecting...? Wasn't even a revelation at the time, this was already known. But all the hype made it seem like was saying something important. This guy is as fake as it gets. And honestly he just seems slimier and more arrogant the more I see him. His take on government is so textbook statist and in line with the same propaganda we get drilled into us from birth... But he's got this atttitude and aura of being super deep and intellectual while giving us the safest, most typical neoliberal talking points. Blech, it's just gross how well this propaganda works, and gets otherwise skeptical people to fall in line.
Because Snowdon doesn't let him get a word in edgeways.
These ultra long interviews where the guest has time to explain his point of view are a game changer. Very well done Joe. This is public service. No one else with your audience is doing it this way.
Pedro Hipólito Howard stern has been doing it for many years and the first too. Also millions of podcasts do exactly this

That's Holden Caulfield too, from that little novel seventy years ago. Holden loves it when his classes go off topic, because that's when all the worthwhile stuff starts to happen. I loved hearing that from Rogan too, today.
