Joe Rogan Says Joe Biden Classified Document Scandal Is A Plot To Get Rid Of POTUS

by

After condemning Donald Trump for the classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago residence last year, President Joe Biden has found himself in the midst of a similar scandal. Over the weekend, the politician’s lawyers and legal aides found top-secret papers in his Delaware home and DC think tank.

In response to the backlash, the Pennsylvania native told reporters, “People know I take classified documents and classified material seriously. I also said we’re cooperating fully and completely with the Justice Department’s review.”

As Daily Mail reports, Biden’s team believes he’ll be totally clear of any criminality in the matter. Still, the scandal remains a hot topic of discussion in the news cycle – specifically on The Joe Rogan Experience. In his latest episode, the controversial host` speculates that the whole thing could’ve been an inside job.

“If I had to guess – they’re trying to get rid of him,” the Fear Factor alum tells co-hosts and comedians Matt McCusker and Shane Gillis. In response, the former says, “It’s crazy. [Biden is] getting jammed up on like manila folders when he was like kissing 12-year-old girls on camera,” referencing the 80-year-old’s questionable past behaviour.

Rogan keeps the conversation to the issue at hand, saying again, “I don’t know jack shit about politics. But if I had to guess – they’re trying to get rid of him.”

“If all of a sudden they’re – his own aides are sending these – instead of like taking these classified documents, which you have located and go, ‘Well, let’s not do that again’ and f*cking locking them up somewhere,” the host went on.

The trio then joked about the 2020 election scandal regarding “Russian disinformation” and Hunter Biden’s laptop. “I mean everyone said this a million times with like the news. If that was flip-flopped, if it was, you know, Trump’s kid, that would’ve been all over,’” McCusker pointed out.

“It would’ve been like, this is the fate of our democracy…blah, blah, blah,” the guest added. In conclusion, Rogan agreed, “And the media would’ve gone right along with it.”

After extending their partnership last summer, Netflix and accomplished producer Shonda Rhimes broaden their commitment with the launch of new inclusive programs for diversity, equity, inclusion, access initiatives and opportunities. The new programs are called The Producers Inclusion Initiative and The Ladder, which both will be supported by Netflix’s Fund for Creative Equity.

The programs will allow graduates to be considered for job consideration on Shondaland and other Netflix productions. The Producers Inclusion Initiative is specifically designed as a nine-week virtual program to train indie producers, unit production managers, supervisors and first assistant directors, who come from those historically underrepresented communities. The program’s participants will learn from executives and key production department heads from Netflix, Shondaland and elsewhere in the industry with the express goal of minting qualified line producers for the studio system. In addition to monthly stipends while in the program, graduates will connect with folks at the two companies and others about potential gigs or other career development opportunities.

The Ladder, for its part, is set up to provide opportunities for people from marginalized groups who are looking to gain the kind of on-set experience and training that’s key to success in the film and TV business. Like the Inclusion Initiative, the Ladder participants will be paid during their time in the program, which will also transport those taking part from central points around London.

Shondaland’s Head of Production Sara Fischer had this to say on the new programs and opportunities: “At our core, Shondaland is a company dedicated to championing opportunities for underrepresented communities both on and off the screen. We have made incredible strides with ensuring women are represented in our productions and I’m excited to expand our efforts and see real results with all marginalized groups. Our partnership with Netflix has allowed us to create these two new incredible programs that have already led to palpable changes in our industry. I am extremely proud to be a part of history as we look forward to greater representation on set.”

Shonda Rhimes is one of the most high-profile and commercially successful showrunners in the business.
