Of note, in the Peter Thiel episode they talk about Epstein.

And Rogan tries to tee up an excuse for Thiel by saying something like "you met with Epstein -- but that was before he was charged the first time, right" and Thiel completely missed that Rogan was trying to spin for him and responded something like "oh, no, it was after..." and excused it on the grounds that he had been told Epstein was very knowledgeable about tax loopholes.

Because a billionaire cannot find good tax experts that aren't known pedos, apparently.

“Hi, I’m a billionaire who knows of NO ONE who has expert tax knowledge.”

I call bullshit.

He has a lot of reach with...males. Add to that, the more controversial or "edgy" or "libtards HATE this one guy" the guests are, the more chuds that will watch, click, like, repost, etc. Feed the grift train, baby.

The math here isn't difficult.

4. Lawrence Krauss?!

His YouTube physics lectures are brilliant! He explains complex science in understandable language. His books are informative and explanatory, again written in plain language for scientific neophytes.

What a disappointment to discover that he's got a history of alleged sexual misconduct.

ASU found that the preponderance of evidence suggested that Krauss had violated the university's policy against sexual harassment by grabbing a woman's breast without her permission. As a result, Krauss was not renewed as director of the Origins Project and the university moved its staff to a project run by planetary scientist Lindy Elkins-Tanton, formally ending the Origins project.

I've wondered if he was sketchy because some of his comments in his lectures are suggestive. For example, he commented that we "usually think gravity sucks but under some circumstances it blows." (Paraphrase)

Far too many of my heroes have turned out to have feet of clay.
