Burned his life entirely and is still ashamed he didnt do it earlier. Goddamn this is a real life super hero

This guy deserves a Presidential Pardon.

*"When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you're being ruled by criminals."*

Snowden is a man with the courage of his convictions... He's paying a price for exposing the dark side... Some would call him a traitor to his county... but I wouldn't.

And they gave Obama a Nobel lol. Our world is so screwed up.

The sad part is that this dude destroyed his life as he felt it was a moral responsibility to do so and most people don't really care what the government is doing to invade their privacy.

Let's not forget that Obama turned 2 wars in to 7.

An American Hero: Edward Snowden. An American Corpratist: Barack Obama. An American: Joe Rogan.

This podcast is trending in the top 5 in the US, Joe idk who your agent is that books these guest but damn he/she deserves a damn raise

So cool of Snowden to allow Rogan on his podcast.

Here we have evidence of what it means to be a human with a conscience.

This guy is a hero, lots of my Republicans and Democrats friends believe he committed treason but I think he did a service to all Americans. The president that pardons him would possibly get my support.

I actually knew this was happening 12 years ago because it happened to my family. My family member was a pilot that routinely flew from the U.S. to Mexico. He opened a manufacturing firm in Mexico in the wake of losing its competitiveness in the U.S. One day, his personal plane got stolen by the Mexican government. He then filed an insurance claim for the plane. His insurance company was so angry about paying off the plane that they reported him to the federal government for insurance fraud. The next several years of our lives were hell. We were followed by a white car when driving around town, our phones were tapped, and the icing on the cake is that our home was broken into so that the federal agent could access my family member's personal computer. This family member was imprisoned in federal prison for one summer after the judge generated enough faux evidence for a judge to allow him to arrest him (apparently the approval process was much less stringent under the Patriot Act because international crime could fall under terrorism). My family member spent the time in jail being bullied by the federal agents. They wanted him to plead guilty and testify that one of his work associates was committing a crime so that they could get him too. They were innocent, of course. But that didn't stop the government from treating my family member as guilty before a trial even occurred. Eventually, a trial had to occur, and my family member was instantly acquitted because the faux evidence drawn against him was all ridiculous. This is real, and it was done by the U.S. government. Not China, Russia, or somewhere else. People don't typically notice this kind of stuff until it has an effect on their lives, but we need to look at this now because it is not going away on its own.

Guy has more courage than I will ever have

"Did you take any comfort in Obama's presidency and his website saying they're going to protect whistle blowers?" Snowden: laughs

Edward Snowden is an American Patriot. He deserves a parade. More importantly, he deserves to be able to come home. Without fear. Thank you for being a Patriot sir.

Most important interview you've ever done Joe. Bravo.

He's a goddamn hero

I am a german soldier, have been to 🇦🇫 AFG for 3 times. This man is my hero

We need this guy home where he belongs!!!!... God Bless You EDWARD SNOWDEN!!!...

A great patriot who put his life on the line for the love of his country. This brave man deserve all our love, appreciation and respect.

Obama: corporatism with a big smile

Trump is considering to pardon Snowden.

An effective argument for the abolition of re-elections. Give EVERYONE term limits with no re-elections, and then the focus for the first four years (or for entire careers) stops being "how do I get back into office."

Joe, you should’ve asked him what he thought about Epstein.

This is honestly the best guest joe has ever had on the show

This guy has a very high I.Q.,

The whole world should be thankful to this man!

I can hear Alex Jones breathing heavy watching these clips

Summary: Any president elect will have to bow to the agencies.

The vote blue no matter who crowd sure was quiet when Snowden hopped on this podcast lmao

“It’s not what you know it’s what you can prove.” - Alonzo Harris

Honestly Snowden is one of the most articulate speakers I have ever heard. No joke this dude is beyond smart

So joe.... if you can get snowden on your show surely you can get dave Chappell on now

"For all the good that may have been done in Obama's white house".... go on... please list one thing.... just one.

If he was standing at my door needing anything i would do anything in my power to help him.

History will remember this man as a hero, to be remembered long after death for heroism is the most incredible thing a human being can do.

So now I can say: Thanks Obama.

"The distance between what you know and what you can prove to everybody else in the country is everything". How prophetic. Just as applicable in 2021 as it was in 2019.

If this guy is still alive, he's got more secret info, far more important than what he has let out.

Great interview I think this guy deserves a pardon

WHAAAT?! Novel peace price winner, Mr hope and change himself spied on us worse than the president before him who actually implemented the program?! Well imagine my shock

I just wished Trump would give him amnesty so he can come home.

Hero! We also owe Manning, Assange and Seth Rich a huge debt of gratitude for fighting to preserve Law of our Constitutional Republic!

give this man a medal and a house on the ocean, and let him live and speak as he pleases. First-ballot, hall of fame hero.

Great video Joe, people need to be enlightened on what's going and has been going on.

Alexa is always listening because that is how Alexa is ready to answer by your speach

I watched the episode of this, and this man is incredible. He’s very good at communicating all of his points in a clear and concise manner.

So we’re being spied on right now? Ok everybody say hi to the government

We will bring him home a hero. Hold on Ed your generations time is soon.

This full episode was one of the greatest interviews of JRE. It should be required viewing for all Americans.

The morals of the story are: 1. The system exists and both sides of politics are equally entrenched in sustaining it. 2. An individual whistleblower will never bring down the system. They will just ruin their own lives blowing the whistle. 3. The rest of us love the comfort the system we live under provides and don't want to deal with the uncertainty and turmoil of a revolution.

6:42 Snowden cracks up on Obama whistle-blower protection; love it

Am from Ireland,and live there too,and even I know this man is a living legend ,hope he gets justice soon

Our intelligence community has become WAY to political - and it’s really disturbing to think about

The villain of this story is the US Government

I can’t imagine how it must feel to know you did the right thing and to be expelled from your country

Hahaha what if his screen just went black and Joe goes Uhh Edward? Uh oh, we’ve lost Edward.

Holy shit. He’s a lot more intelligent than I could have ever imagined. I could listen to this dude for hours

Can we get snowden back on to talk about current FISA abuse especially related to investigations into the trump admin?

Great insight by Snowden on what happens with the IC and the President. Using fear to keep these programs open but Obama not only keeping those programs but expanding upon them there's no covering up for. Seems like Snowden didn't want to throw Obama under the bus but him expanding those programs speaks volumes. Obama never used words to fight battles like Trump does through Twitter and the media but he definitely did so with the pen. Obama being very good when it came to domestic policies??? Gonna have to disagree with that one. But always thought what Snowden did was to benefit us on what's going on behind close doors of our government and thank him for it. Also thank you Joe for bringing him on

a real American hero history will give this man his just do

Sometimes I feel like we're just a bunch of sheep. This has been exposed, and still no one is talking about it or doing anything....yet. I hope he gets a pardon and can come home..You get the country you deserve.....Snowden fan here....

I honestly think we the people should go into building a monument in honor of this National Hero. Our government has deemed him an enemy of the country but he's really the most patriotic person in our country and deserves that recognition

now this makes sense on why the cia and fbi was against trump from the start

Exactly what the IC community is doing to Trump... hmmmm

This guy is a hero but aside from that Jre : asks a question Snowden: "This covered extensively in my book "then proceeds to answer question

On a superficial note....love Snowden's haircut.

Snowden saying if you live through fear you haven't live at all is one of the most inspiring things I've ever heard from a real person

Guess we are not as free as we think we are..........

*"We used to say a man's home is his castle!...Today a man's phone is his castle!!"*

I think Snowden was like most people who work for the government. When you actually see how it works, it was disappointing to him. I spent 10 years as an MP in the Marine Corps and the Army and our government does what they want to do to the public. SMDH!

Edward "in the book" Snowden

Based on the video title, I was waiting to hear Snowden expand on how Obama was making it worse. Turns out that's where the video cuts out after 15 minutes. Gawwwwd, these JRE video editors are the worst.

Wow, well spoken. Saw exact same issues with career beauracrats when I served in USAF, late eighties, early 90s. They run the government, because they know where all the bodies are buried. Snowden is incredibly intelligent. And shot himself in the foot.

What good was done on Obama’s White House? I always hear that but no details

DHS knows exactly how many times you've watched this podcast.

When he first came out with these documents, I called him a traitor. This interview has opened my eyes....i was wrong.

That is the Cons of being an elected leader: the knowledge of history will dominate dreams.

Assuming that this guy is legit (I still have some doubts) he is the ultimate example of a patriot. Anyone willing to have their lives permanently destroyed to expose government corruption is a hero in my book.

Thanks obama.

6:30 Obama part.

Why hasn’t this video hit a million views yet?! 🤔

Joe lookin like a straight ding dong w/ ear buds

"The truth, indeed, is something that mankind, for some mysterious reason, instinctively dislikes. Every man who tries to tell it is unpopular, and even when, by the sheer strength of his case, he prevails, he is put down as a scoundrel." H L Mencken (1880-1956) In hindsight, perhaps Julian Assange should've followed Snowden to Moscow. Together, they'd be a force to be reckoned with.

Human being's greatest enemy is itself, humans, but also it's greatest ally.

Edward “I detailed it greatly in the book” Snowden

This is not a regular human being. This is a GENIUS with ginormous righteous balls

One of the best guests for sure.

"It's not what you know, it's what you can prove"-Denzel Washington, Training Day

I'm going to get a black t-shirt and a red plaid flannel. I'm gonna be my hero for Halloween!

My brother died of Cancer caused by the anthrax vaccine the Navy forced onto him. It also gave him seizures. They began the day he got the shot. He worked in Naval Intelligence. He wasn't allowed to discuss specifics of his job. He eventually worked contract work after the Navy doing the same job in the same office. In casual conversation, several years ago, long before Snowden, he was asked by family "As an average American, who shoulkd we be more worried about? Is it Iran, Russia, China, North Korea? Who?" His answer was "Your own Government". When he died I went with our parents down to DC/Baltimore to gather some of his things and decide what to do with everything, and we met the Director at the Naval Intelligence Office and had a sit down and conversation with him. After we were done, it felt more like an interrogation to find out what we knew or what we were told that we shouldnt have been. It was subtle. We were never told anything specific, and the your own Government comment was the only thing of substance. He would joke that he'd have to kill us if he told us when we would ask stuff. It makes you wonder why he a healthy guy in his 20's would get seizures and cancer out of nowhere. But it just goes to show you what reality truly is. BTW, Snowden is lying. Snowden was a CIA plant to expose the NSA's capabilities to the public and garner backlash, then enable the CIA to do the same things going forward. Why? The CIA is rogue, and answers to only the NWO. The NSA was concerned at the CIA's activities. Q said as much. Who's Q? Are you ready for a dose of reality? Go find out.

I wonder if someone in the NSA’s job is to read through KZfaq comment data, if so ... I feel you bro life sucks ✊

THANK YOU SNOWDEN for PROVING IT.

I never realized Snowden did his thing in 2013! I always though he did what he did in the early 2000s!

As an Australian I am worried about Julian Assange in 2020! Don’t like him personally but believe in a just trial. So where the fck is he and is he ok?

Your a legend Snowden God Bless you

Shoutout to joe for getting Edward on seriously one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to, to date

0:41 could someone please tell me what's the report called?

The man is a real patriot! I wish there were more like him in our country. And to see the scumbags in our gov selling us and this country daily.
