John Kiriakou x Joe Rogan

@ZeducationTyler
Give this man a presidential pardon tomorrow

@Don_Matteo
There needs to be a movie made about this man.

@WesCrockettCA
This is one of Joe's best episodes and he did almost zero talking.

@Last_Chance.
I have known John for 30 years. I’m so glad to finally see him getting out in the mainstream putting his story out. He deserves so much credit. He’s such a great man

@LikeTheRoom
Shocking that it took him this long to get on JRE. Kiriakou is a top tier storyteller with a top tier story to tell.

@AsheYoung007
One of the best lines in JRE history, "I lived on the same cell block as an Afghan-American pharmacist with an oxy problem... nice guy". This has got to be one of the best episodes in the show.

@armenastarian
Petition to permanently replace Mike Baker with John Kiriakou.

@whitevador8875
Make John a regular guest! Have him analyze Geopolitics and Internal affairs cases.

@gunnarkelly5051
I can’t like this interview enough. GIVE HIM HIS DAMN PENSION!!!

@theremoteseller
A presidential pardon and an Oliver Stone movie deal is what this man deserves.

@Jadenmyers
Thought this was gonna be another "Mike Baker" character sent from the see-eye-aye themselves, pleasantly surprised, bros legit

@iketerrible6661
Brennan approving the visas for the 9/11 terrorists needs to be looked into further. There’s something there

@AJ-bv4dt
"So you replaced mike baker" great way to start the podcast!

@Jason-33W
Watched him recently on the Tucker Carlson's podcast, very happy to see him here too to get his story out there. The people that put him away should be forever in prison.


During his tenure with the CIA, John Brennan was involved with U.S. government's counterterrorism policies, particularly regarding torture and Obama's drone assassination programs. He played a significant role in initiating and pushing for the prosecution of John Kiriakou, a former CIA officer and whistleblower. Described by Kiriakou as an old nemesis, Brennan directed officials to charge Kiriakou with espionage despite a lack of evidence.
