The reigning, defending, UNDISPUTED Social Distancing Champion of the World...

This guy gave up a healthy salary and a easy job for the rights and liberty of others. Salute to Snowden

"History will remember you kindly". What a beautiful thing to say to a man in his position.

Snowden is impressively articulate at explaining things and getting his point across. I could listen to him talk all day.

"When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals" -Edward Snowden

"Patriotism is not about loyalty to government....Patriotism is a constant effort to do good for the people of your country". - Edward Snowden

High intellect, a good heart. Sad to see people blaming him instead of thanking him.

It’s crazy how Ed 2 years ago was talking about being offended and opinions and how we were being manipulated, and today 2023, it’s never been so revealing. Scary how right he was.

This guy is so fucking smart... So articulate... Never once condescending or arrogant. He continues to impress me every time I hear him speak.

This is why the Joe Rogan podcast is 10 000 times better than TV

This dude is honestly the only hero ive ever seen in USA that has nothing to do with military . This dude risked his life for every last one of us.

For this guy to turn his wonderful life upside down simply because of his morality and belief in the American people vs the abuses of certain govt practices speaks volumes on his character and who his parents are as unbelievable human beings! Much respect and salute to you for this, because many people know but very few, if any, will do what you have done sir!!! Big sacrifice!

They should have green-screened Snowden and put him in Joe's Sith dungeon. It would have given the NSA a heart attack.

Poor guy you could tell he was sad about saying bye..he turns off his monitor and then it’s loneliness, paranoia etc... history will definitely be kind to you

I'm impressed that Snowden didn't spend a lot of time whining about what he lost, or talking about how awesome he is. His focus is on the mission, the message.

This guy deserves a medal of honor.

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

This man kicked Big Brother in the nuts and got away with it! He needs to be pardoned YESTERDAY. A true American hero in my lifetime.

This guy deserves a purple heart. Not just an American hero, a hero for humanity!!

Edward is an international hero. This concerns the whole world. Thank you for your bravery.

It's embarrassing to American values that Edward Snowden hasn't been pardoned yet.

Joe is in a toaster interviewing Snowden in the shadow realm.

Thank you Edward Snowden telling us that the US government is breaking our laws. Thank you Joe Rogan for having Edward as a guest. I’m interested in these conversations.

Snowden's backdrop is better than joe rogan's.

*Government:* does something illegal *Edward:* exposes government illegal activity *Government:* “wait, that’s illegal”

Not only is Edward Snowden a true Hero but also a great philosopher of the human condition and our times.

Probably the most wholesome episode Joe has ever had- salute to Snowden and all he did for the people of this nation!

This is simple math. He didn't steal anything. It wasn't the government's information to start with. It was my info and I forgive him, how about you guys?

Snowden could had kept quiet and keep earning a big paycheck but chose to expose his government for moral conscience and fibre and his fellow man. Truly a hero of our times.

1:10:58 He is so correct. We do the smallest thing our life is over and we are stripped of all our rights. People in power do not go through the same penalties as us.

¡Its been 2 yrs we need our 2 yr check up on Snowden , Joe !

For everybody that has said, this man needs a pardon I disagree. A pardon implies he did something wrong in the first place. What should happen, is that all charges should be dropped and this man exonerated of any wrong doing with an apology given publicly for ruining this mans life.

We need a yearly Snowden podcast to keep everyone honest.

So much respect for Snowden, after all this injustice lived, still he is so composed and wise. Salut Snowden to exist..

We need a new episode

The fact that this guy is a “bad guy” to the US government really tells you all you need to know about the credibility of the US government

2.4 million views in less than 24 hours and still not trending, but Paris Hilton is, alright KZfaq..

Thanks Joe... I knew the name without knowing his story... in this interview, Snowden is revealed to be a very thoughtful person who maintains a high moral standard ...strong ethics. You guys covered so many topics... pragmatic, commonsense, and a strong sense of fairness... time to process and modify my perspective.

I use to think he was a traitor but once I educated my self and looked up what he did I was wrong! He is looking out for "US" not just trying to make himself famous! He needs to be free!

He is the EXACT definition of a Patriot. He cares about THE PEOPLE...our rights. That’s not Left or Right...that’s American. A true American Hero.

It's so sad that every American didn't stand up and support this man when he did so much for us. Its crazy!

“In the end what separates a man from a slave? Money? Power? No, a man chooses... a slave obeys.” ― Andrew Ryan, BioShock

Thank you Joe and Edward . We love all of you content! 🙏

This guy is an American hero, and look how the government treats him

This is true sacrifice. He was making $200k in Hawaii and set it all on fire bc he knew what was going on was wrong. Hero. #pardonSnowden

The people of the world owe Snowden and Assange so many thanks, and they both need more support. True heroes!

This is such a eye opening conversation every time Joe talk to Snowden

I love how a patriot that blows the whistle on corruption in our government gets treated and considered a traitor and a terrorist. When in reality this man 100% upheld his oath to this nation

Thank you for your sacrifice Edward, I hope people truly understand the selfless sacrifice you made!!

Most people don't get it. They won't ever pardon him. If they did that, then all of the honest good people on the inside would start coming forward, and this utterly corrupt government would crack apart.

I am listening to this conversation after reading Orwell's 1984. Snowden's positive outlook is a wonderful gift.

He's so intellectual and well-presented. He has the vision of a true leader.

This is a rare individual. Especially in today’s world. We need to lift these people up.

My only issue with pardoning this man is that he doesn't need one. A pardon is for the guilty. He needs to be exonerated, because he did nothing wrong.

Snowden is one outstanding man! A true patriot.

Joe should watch some Thomas Sowell to educate himself how exactly those high-crime neighborhoods became poor and high-crime. A lot of those were fine just 50-70 years ago. Then came the government with some "help"

Everyone always asks where's Edward Snowden no one ever asks how is Edward Snowden 😔

Used to think he was arrogant. Read his book. Read the journalist's book. Saw the documentaries. He's the real deal. This is one of my favorite podcasts. Snowden is very intelligent more people should listen

This is a great interview. Glad to have finally had a chance to sit down and listen.

the fact that this is still happening without a single consequence means the entire government needs to get new management

He's one hell of a decent dude. Sacrifices a comfortable life, and then asks for pardons for others rather than himself. A humble man who gave up everything so we could know the truth.

Big props to Snowden, thank you sir 🙏

All I want for Christmas is a pardon for Edward Snowden.

Crazy to think we live in a country where the truth has been criminalized

Thank you Joe for bringing this collaboration together 👍🏼👍🏼 am blown away

"Truth is treason in an empire of lies."

Imagine if you Americans had a presidential candidate like Snowden. He's obviously very intelligent and a true patriot. He pretty much sacrificed everything just to benefit the people. Cheers from Finland!

Free this HERO. History will judge him as a patriot and a hero.

not sure who is the most courageous man i've ever seen, edward snowden, julian asssange, or nelson mandela. how i wish we had more like them.

He's so amazingly articulate on topics that are so incredibly important. I can't wait to read his book.

I love that we still get to hear the voice of an exiled man who is more of a Patriot than many people of this country!

54:30 is one of the craziest things I've ever heard. A trial where the defendant can't even say why they did what they did. Absolutely insane.

Just started listening to Joe Rogan's pod cast. Very thought provoking interesting perspectives and conversations more people need to be objectively having!!

You guys....what's actually going on is much, much worse than you could possibly imagine at this point. We need a lot more heroes. 💕

Jamie pull his location up.

One of the finest examples of an American patriot in the history of this country.

Smart dude! Will have to replay this one more than once.

Why didn't more (or actually ALL) Americans stand-up for him? If you are a US citizen and not part of the Govt. Edward Snowden should be your Patriot Hero.

Not only should he be pardoned, but he should be celebrated and thanked for his service to the world.

Edward Snowden is an American hero! and Julian Assange is an Australian hero! Exposing Criminals should not be Criminal.

1984 began in 2001.

Can’t help but think of my father in law, who we disagreed about so many thing’s politically, but we loved our discussions over time. We always left one another after heated discussions with the idea that we both thought we had learned a different perspective on everything. What a different world we had then…..

Mad respect to you man. Honestly how many people would set their life on fire for the good of others.. to spread awareness on shit that's not right. Not many. Hope you get to come back home brother.

I like how Joe Rogan lets his guests speak, but still manages to ask all the right questions... Truly an artform...

I feel wiser for listening to this, thank you both!

Bravo to both of You! Excellent conversation

The U.S. does not deserve to have Edward Snowden as its citizen. If you wanna see what true patriotism looks like, this is it.

This is one of the most important podcasts of our time and needs to go viral.

Every American should say thank you to Edward Snowden

1:26:05 - Ohhh, Snowden, how you were wrong... You will be banned from Instagram and KZfaq if you just write the word "stoopid". I cannot even write it out...

Bring this man home. A true American hero.

This Patriot deserves the Medal of Freedom - nothing less.

Rogan totally misses the point about the cake bakers. They didn't have a problem with serving gay people. They had a problem with taking part in the wedding by baking the cake for the wedding, which would have been against their faith. They would have sold them a cake, coffee, muffins, ect. But it was the baking of the cake expressly for the wedding ceremony that, according to the bakers' faith, does not exist and would be sinful to take part in the make belief nature of it. They were not just simply refusing to serve gay people.

What a great conversation. Very eye opening

Joe should turn around mid-podcast so he can cook the other side

The fact that Edward Snowden gave up everything to reveal this to the general public should make him a national hero and people still call him a traitor. It is quite upsetting and most people don’t care in the least or are too stupid to realize what’s up.

We need Philosohy, and people like him. Thank you for sharing this interview

I learned so much by listening to this conversation. This is how we become better citizens and improve the human condition
