March 7: Joe Rogan and the Jews
Trump to impose sanctions on Russia; U.S. soldiers arrested as Chinese spies; Newsom reverses trans position
The Big Story
It gives us no pleasure to report this, but we figured you should hear it from us. Jeffrey Epstein—the late New York financier—was a “Jewish organization of Jewish people working on behalf of Israel and other groups,” including organized crime and elements of the Central Intelligence Agency, to collect blackmail on American politicians and businessmen. This Jewish blackmail ring is so powerful that Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, despite their promises of transparency, will never be able to produce any documents to prove its existence. Nor will President Donald Trump and his administration be able to cut U.S. support for Israel—the blackmail runs too deep.
Now, it may horrify ordinary people to learn that a substantial portion of Jews believe their existence depends on their ability to manipulate powerful Americans into compromising positions with sexually trafficked teenagers, but we should have some sympathy. It is not their fault that Israel was founded by organized crime syndicates, sinister transnational bankers, and terrorists, who brought the methods of the Jewish underworld into the present day. Perhaps they felt they had no choice. But in the modern day, these methods have grown “cancerous on the Jewish religion” and must be excised—for the good of Jews as well as Americans. Fortunately, thanks to Oct. 7, we can finally talk about this. America is waking up. That won’t stop surviving elements of the Jewish mafia from trying to smear us truth-tellers as lunatics, conspiracy theorists, and antisemites. But they are losing. Information wants to be free, and the arc of history bends toward justice.
There, we saved you 2 hours and 41 minutes. That was the run time of Joe Rogan’s interview with Ian Carroll, a TikTok influencer whose short rise from total obscurity to Rogan’s show—one of the most coveted slots in the entertainment business, which many a content creator would kill to appear on—would normally lead us to ask questions about foreign intelligence operations and shadowy behind-the-scenes influence networks, had Carroll not already helpfully answered our questions about such things (it’s Israel). On the other hand, we did not have the heart, or the patience, to sit through Candace Owens’ simultaneous appearance on Theo Von’s show, so you’ll have to dig through that one yourself. For those interested in further research, please consult Carroll’s videos about how Yale’s Skull and Bones society blackmails elites by making them do “gay stuff.” Or just wait for Rogan’s (real) forthcoming episode with Darryl Cooper, aka Martyr Made, who we hope will clear up any lingering misconceptions about World War II, like that the Allies were the good guys.
All kidding aside, Rogan—whatever his penchant for kooky theories about the moon landing or ancient aliens—never struck us as an antisemite, periodic hyperventilating from the Anti-Defamation League and other adjuncts of the Democratic Party notwithstanding. He is, or traditionally has been, an American everyman, and he doesn’t appear to be a resentful or damaged person, which is usually a prerequisite for going off the deep end regarding Jews. Which makes it all the more difficult to figure out what’s going on here. Does Rogan believe this stuff? Is he playing for relevance at a time when deranged talk about all-powerful “Zionist” and “neocon” influence, boosted by Elon Musk’s X algorithm, is all the rage on social media? Is there a network? Did someone—a booker, a friend, a tech baron, a political operative, a godfather—tell him that Carroll and Cooper are great guys and that he should help to get their message out?
Or maybe we’re looking at an op. “The Joe Rogan Experience,” after all, has 19.5 million subscribers on YouTube, and it became clear after last year’s election that many in the upper reaches of the Democratic Party saw Rogan and the wider podcast world as key to Trump’s victory. It’s obviously the sort of thing that would interest intelligence agencies, state and state-backed actors, and others with the resources to rival states. We have recent hard evidence of Chinese state actors boosting conservative-branded antisemitic content on X and of Russian state actors attempting to buy off right-wing social media influencers. Tucker Carlson, who appears to be the head (or at least the public-facing head) of the antisemitic power vertical on the American right, is financially backed by the fortune of the Iranian American businessman and (prior to 2020) lifelong Democrat Omeed Malik, who is also now Donald Trump Jr.’s business partner. In February, Carlson hosted on his show the Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal, one of the largest media investors in the world and a major shareholder in X. This afternoon, he released an interview with the prime minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
The truth is we have no idea what the real story is. But as we’ve been trying to point out at Tablet for years now (see here and here), the sorts of questions we’re now forced to ask about Rogan are, in at least one sense, similar to the sorts of questions that guys like Carroll are posing about wealthy Jewish sex traffickers collecting blackmail on behalf of Mossad. That is to say, both are downstream of the hall-of-mirrors reality we now live in, in which the cumulative effect of two decades of official lies, secrecy, propaganda, and censorship has combined with the destabilizing impact of digital media on our collective psychic health. All of us know, just as Carroll and Cooper and Carlson and Rogan do, that we have been misled by people we cannot quite name, in ways we cannot quite understand, for reasons we can’t quite put our finger on. And good luck finding the truth in the pages of The New York Times, which everyone knows is for suckers. As Jacob Siegel wrote for Tablet in 2023, “Americans who want to join in their country’s civic life now find that the main way to participate is by following the trail of clues leaked by official sources while trying to solve elaborate, rigged puzzles about the nature of reality. It’s no surprise the country is going nuts.”
Carroll did manage to say one true thing, though, which is that Oct. 7 opened the door for “interest” in his favorite subject. But the reason is not that Americans are, all of a sudden, interested in pulling back the veil on the Jewish power that secretly controlled their lives. It was that the attacks and their aftermath exposed that Jews (including the mythical Israel lobby) are not nearly as powerful as they have been made out to be; that there is a huge, potentially lucrative audience for those who could explain that the murdered, kidnapped, and raped Israelis really had it coming; and that Jews cannot silence their opponents but in many cases are reduced to asking for pity, which, as anyone with a basic understanding of human psychology will tell you, only invites more sadism.
Which is to say, the attacks put blood in the water. What we’re seeing now are the sharks.
The Rest
→President Trump announced today that he’s considering imposing banking sanctions, sanctions, and tariffs on Russia to pressure the country into accepting a peace agreement. The announcement comes after Russia targeted Ukrainian energy infrastructure in a large-scale missile and drone bombardment last night, according to the Associated Press. Ukrainian authorities said that 10 people, including one child, were killed in the strikes. Russia fired 67 missiles from air, land, and sea and launched 194 strike and decoy drones, Ukraine’s air force said, with natural gas extraction facilities as the desired targets. In a few days, the Trump administration is set to meet with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia to discuss a path toward ending the war. Trump officials met with the Russians to discuss those same matters last month.
Yesterday, at the European Union defense summit in Brussels, the E.U. leaders backed plans to increase their countries’ defense spending and to continue to strongly support Ukraine in its war efforts. The decision comes following Trump’s order to cease both military support and intel sharing with Ukraine, according to Reuters.
→Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey requested an investigation by the Department of Justice to look into former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline allowing for policy implementation by unelected officials. The request has ignited debate about the legality of Biden’s executive orders, especially following recent findings by the House Oversight Project that Biden used an autopen to sign every document and executive order throughout his tenure, except one: the announcement that he was exiting the 2020 presidential race. In his letter to the DOJ, Bailey blamed Democrats like former Vice President Kamala Harris for allegedly manipulating Biden into signing orders when he was unaware of the orders’ implications, according to Newsweek. If Biden was cognitively impaired, Bailey’s letter suggests, his executive orders should be considered legally void.
→The Trump administration canceled grants and contracts totaling $400 million to Columbia University today in response to the institution’s inaction in the face of antisemitism, according to Reuters. In a statement issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, it was revealed that HHS, the Department of Justice, the Department of Education, and the General Services Administration are canceling the grants. Leo Terrell, senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights and the head of the DOJ’s task force to combat antisemitism, said that freezing funds is one of the tools the government will use to combat the spike in antisemitism that has rocked college campuses across the country since the Oct. 7 massacre.
→Three U.S. army soldiers, two current and one retired, are accused of selling classified information with the Chinese government and were arrested yesterday on charges involving theft of government property and bribery. The FBI carried out the arrest beneath Director Kash Patel with the support of Attorney General Pam Bondi. Current soldiers Li Tian and Ruoyu Duan were charged in Oregon for “conspiring to commit bribery and theft of government property,” and Jian Zhao was charged in Washington for the same crimes but also for “conspiring to obtain and transmit national defense information to an individual not authorized to receive it,” according to the National Review. Zhao, an active-duty sergeant stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, allegedly conspired to collect classified hard drives and send them to Chinese buyers from 2024 onwards. Tian, also stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, is accused of gathering technical materials that could reveal the U.S. military’s operational capabilities and passing them off to Duan, who served in the Army from 2013 to 2017.
→In the debut episode of his podcast, California Gov. Gavin Newsom told his inaugural guest, Charlie Kirk—yes, that Charlie Kirk—that it was “deeply unfair” for biological men to compete in women’s sports. That’s the same Newsom who signed legislation making California the only “sanctuary state” for transgender youth in 2022. Like other Democrats who have attempted to back away from the party’s deeply unpopular stance on trans athletes, Newsom received swift backlash. Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, for instance, called the governor’s remarks “disgusting” and said that “there are kids waking up today in California thinking their governor hates them!”
→President Trump made good on a campaign pledge and signed an executive order today to establish a strategic reserve of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but the order calls only for the use of tokens already owned by the government, disappointing crypto investors hoping the government would buy new coins, according to Reuters. The announcement saw Bitcoin’s price fall 5% to about $85,000, though the value somewhat recovered and, as of writing, sits at just over $87,000. White House crypto czar and billionaire tech investor David Sacks said the reserve will be “capitalized” by crypto seized in criminal or civil asset forfeitures, but the order leaves the door open for the government to buy more tokens. Andrew O'Neill, digital assets managing director at S&P Global Ratings, told Reuters that the order is mainly symbolic as it marks the first time the government has formally recognized Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Charles Edwards, founder of bitcoin-focused hedge fund Capriole Investments, said on X yesterday that the limited reserve is as disappointing an outcome for a strategic crypto reserve as he could have expected.

→Stat of the Day: 66%
That’s the percentage of Americans supportive of the Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to “drain the swamp” and cut everything from federal jobs to buildings and regulations, according to a Rasmussen poll. While 83% of Republican voters believe in what DOGE is doing, the worst news for the Democratic Party is that 49% of their voters also believe “the cork has to be pulled,” according to Washington Examiner. Despite an endless barrage of media assault on Elon Musk, the poll also found that 52% of the voters polled viewed him favorably and wanted him to continue in his role at DOGE, though the polling was split along party lines, with 76% of Republicans favorable and 67% of Democrats unfavorable toward him.

Rogan has taken a page from Tucker Carlson although I suspect that Rogan has few if any Jewish friends. Carlson impresses me as a Henry Ford type of Jew hater with the paradigm that existed in America before WWII. That kind of Jew hatred was characterized by signs in front of certain establishments reading “No Jews and no dogs allowed.” That kind of Jew hatred by WASPs led to Jewish quotas at universities, exclusion from country clubs, hospital staffs, law firms and etc. It was the kind of Jew hatred exemplified by the President of the USA refusing to allow the St. Louis from disembarking Jews fleeing Hitler. It was the kind of Jew hatred that didnt bomb the railroads leading to Auschwitz. And now like the modern Left’s kind of Jew hatred he aligned himself with Muslims. The only way for this generation’s Jew hatred to end will be when Israel thoroughly defeats its barbaric enemies.
Tucker Carlson is an insufferable anti-semite who hasn't the balls to just come out and say he detests Jews and clearly announce his delusions about Jews, so he invites pseudo intellectual anti-semitic guests to espouse nuanced and sometimes blatant nonsense about Jews and/or Israel in order to stoke the ever present Jew hating embers. It sells. Disappointing but not surprising that Joe Rogan would also platform a Jew hater. It sells, and easy to digest for the gullible. What escapes these weasels is that if Jews really had such power, they would be in positions to obscure and hide their dastardly machinations and schemes, which are conducted to what end? Doesn't matter, they are just evil. In fact, these Jews are so manipulative and powerful that no doubt they control Tucker Carlson, and Joe Rogan, and for diabolical reasons want them to appear pure and untainted by Jewish manipulation. What must frustrate the Jew hater immensely is that Trump, thank G-d, doesn't share these delusions. Not only that, but Trump surrounds himself with Jews, trusts them, and has a daughter and grandchildren that are Jewish. Good G-d, since they are now members of the tribe, have they been read into the plot? Is Ivanka and her children now involved in the Ian Carroll screed, are they responsible too? Holy Hashem no, can't be. Maybe just Jared. Yup, just her husband Jared.
