Joe Rogan names very controversial figure who should be his Dem rival...and top conservatives all agree
'He could be president,' Rogan declared on Wednesday's episode of the Joe Rogan Experience while featuring a clip of Biden's viral sit-down with YouTuber Andrew Callaghan.
Rogan lauded Biden for his frankness and intellect around the subject off addiction, adding that 'he's a lot smarter than people give him credit for.'
During Biden's interview with Callaghan, the scandal-scarred first son explained the psychology behind addiction and Americans' perceptions of crack-cocaine, leading Rogan to call it 'the greatest crack advertisement of all time.'
'If crack wasn't terrible for you, this guy makes me want to try crack,' Rogan told guest Joe DeRosa on his podcast Wednesday.
'I'm not going to. I'm not giving any advice, but I'm saying this guy, like legitimately this might be the best advertisement for crack of all-time.
'He's a lot smarter than people give him credit for,' Rogan continued. 'He's talking, and one of the things he was talking about was why smoking things are so addictive, why smoking cigarettes are so addictive, and the psychology behind it. He's not dumb.
'But he's just a guy who became an addict, and that f**ks your whole life up. It f**ks you. You become a subhuman.'
'And your dad is one of the most famous people on the planet. It's so crazy.
Rogan then played the clip of Biden explaining crack addiction.
'He could be president. How about that? He could. No bull***t. Hunter Biden, after all he'd been through, look, his dirty laundry's all out there. We all see it. He was a freak.'
He added: 'He's smarter than his dad when his dad was young, and he was a crackhead.'
A day earlier, conservative commentator 'Comfortably Smug' of the Ruthless podcast hailed Biden as 'the Joe Rogan of the left,' earning a shout-out from Megyn Kelly.
On Kelly's own show Tuesday, she called Biden's honesty 'entertaining.'
'A little misguided on pointing the finger at others, many others for doing things that he himself has done,' she said. '[But] it was very entertaining to see him break out the machine gun, the rhetorical machine gun, and go after every prominent democrat.'
Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow branded Biden's interview 'the most entertaining content [he'd] watched all year', calling him 'the left's Joe Rogan in waiting.'
The interview, during which Biden teed off on everyone from James Carville to George Clooney, has secured nearly 2.5million views on YouTube.
'What right do you have to step on a man who's given 52 years of his f**king life to the services of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full page ad in the f**king New York Times to undermine the president,' Biden said of the actor, who turned on the president after his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump in 2024.
He also attacked CNN's Jake Tapper, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Carville, dismissing the democratic strategist as someone who 'hasn't run a race in 40 years.'

Barclays follows HSBC out of the Net Zero Banking Alliance
Barclays has followed HSBC in withdrawing from the Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), claiming that the departure of a host of other global lenders means the organisation "no longer has the membership to support our transition". 1 Founded in 2021, the UN-convened NZBA requires members to commit to "transition the operational and attributable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from their lending and investment portfolios to align with pathways to net-zero by 2050 or sooner". At its peak it had around 150 members, including most of the world's largest banks. However, that number has dwindled in the last few months. At the beginning of 2025, ahead of Donald Trump's return to the White House, a host of US banks, including JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo, pulled out of the global climate-focused alliance. The American banks quit amid attacks from Republicans on "woke" capitalism, with the House Judiciary Committee, led by Republican Jim Jordan, claiming that financial environmental alliances have created "a climate cartel". Now, UK-headquartered HSBC and Barclays have joined their US counterparts. Barclays says it is committed to its "ambition" to be a net zero bank by 2050. Says a statement: "Our targets to mobilise $1 trillion of Sustainable and Transition Financing and for financed emissions remain unchanged. We continue to work with our clients on their transition, finance the transition and scale climate tech, while helping to ensure energy security for our customers and clients." Earlier this week, the CEO of Standard Chartered, Bill Winters, hit out at banks that have rowed back on their climate commitments. 'People that said a lot of stuff, but [when] it was fashionable to say it, [and] who are saying either nothing or the opposite now: shame on them,' said Winters, according to the Guardian.

NHL player and mascot charged by bear while shooting video in Alaskan river
This is the dramatic moment an NHL player and his team mascot were charged by a bear while shooting a video in an Alaskan river. Seattle Kraken forward John Hayden and their troll mascot Buoy were shooting a fishing segment when a bear emerged from the woods and charged at them, sending the crew running. Fortunately it pulled up short. Hayden joked that the bear was interested in Buoy's unusual look. Hayden, who was drafted in 2013, has been with the Kraken since 2022 and recently signed a two-year extension.
