Joe Rogan claims Hunter Biden ‘could be president,' insists he's more intelligent than most people think
Podcast host Joe Rogan said on Wednesday that former President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, is smarter than people think and could be president. During the latest episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," with guest comedian Joe DeRosa, Rogan was talking about how convincingly he thought Hunter Biden had spoken about the draw of crack cocaine. "It's the greatest crack advertisement of all time," Rogan said. "No. If crack wasn't terrible for you, this guy makes me want to try crack. I'm not going to. Don't do it. 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," Rogan said. "He's a lot smarter than people give him credit for," Rogan added. "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." The podcast host admitted that the son of the former president could himself one day be president. "He could be president," Rogan told DeRosa. "No bulls---." Rogan played a clip from Hunter Biden's recent viral interview with Channel 5's Andrew Callaghan, where Hunter Biden addressed many topics, including the science behind cocaine. "The only difference between crack cocaine and cocaine is sodium bicarbonate, and water and heat," Hunter Biden said. "Literally, that's it." "And those things are pretty much free, if you go to a science store," Callaghan interjected. "You can go to your neighborhood convenience store and just get, anyway, I don't want to tell people how to make crack cocaine, but it literally is a mayonnaise jar of cocaine and baking soda," Hunter Biden said. He added that the experience of crack cocaine versus cocaine is "vastly, vastly different" and more euphoric.

DAVID MARCUS: Biden's autopen poised for $10M payday
When I heard Joe Biden is getting $10 million to pen a memoir which will address his presidency, I thought the same thing you probably did: Is it a coloring book? I mean, come on. First of all, the odds are good that Grandpa Joe cannot remember what he had for breakfast today, much less the detailed doings of the White House for four long years. But also, nobody on Planet Earth thinks this man is capable of writing so much as a thank-you card. I've written a book. It's difficult, unenjoyable and requires mental stamina. To state it clearly, if Joe Biden is writing a book, then I'm the Dalai Lama. Of course, nobody is surprised when former presidents or other celebrity types get big-money book deals thrown at them, or that many employ ghostwriters. But the ghost of William Faulkner couldn't get a book's worth of sensible commentary out of Ol' Joe. This is the same former president who could barely manage a 10-minute interview with The New York Times this month. At that rate, this book would take a hundred years to finish, even if his son Hunter filled some pages with his lovely illustrations. No, it will not be Joe Biden who composes this fabulous work of fan fiction. It will likely be crafted by many of the same people who have their fingerprints all over the infamous White House autopen. This guy makes Jimmy Carter look like Cicero, and this book might be the very last chance to restore any respect and dignity at all to Scranton Joe. This inner circle that served both Joe and Jill Biden for years, from Ron Klain, to Anthony Bernal, to Susan Rice, seem to have been the real people running the country. But that's not what Biden's book will say about them. Biden's memoir will really be their day in court, especially now that many have pleaded the Fifth Amendment when asked about Biden's decline by Congress. In this way, even if Joe has no clue this book is even being written, it could still wind up an important document insofar as it will serve as the official Biden camp version of events, a sneak peek of which Hunter Biden may have given us this week. On the "Channel 5" podcast the former first son, painter, and Ukrainian gas executive, gave a profanity-laden performance that felt like an audition for a David Mamet play. Take this gem, describing the Democrats who turned on his dad: "James Carville—who hasn't run a race in 40 f--ing years—and David Axelrod, who had one success in his political life, and that was Barack Obama. And that was because of Barack Obama—not because of f---ing David Axelrod." Actually, if Joe's book reads anything like this, it could be a bestseller. Democrats have been cursing up a storm lately, but Hunter actually seems to be good at it, as his father was rumored to be in private. Democrats may be about to find out that hell hath no fury like a Biden scorned, and even if Joe himself thinks he's having lunch with long-dead Maggie Thatcher tomorrow, those closest to him know where all the bodies are buried. For Joseph Robinette Biden, this book deal, this cool 1$0 million, is likely the final payout of a long and very lucrative career in public service. Make of that combination what you will, but for those loyal to him, it is much more. Biden's legacy and reputation in the pantheon of American politics is as low as it can be. This guy makes Jimmy Carter look like Cicero, and this book might be the very last chance to restore any respect and dignity at all to Scranton Joe. So for whomever is writing this book, here is a piece of advice. Do the American people and Joe Biden a favor and just tell the truth. We can handle it, and even if the truth is bad, the perception of it is already very, very bad. Biden can't undo the terrible harm he did as president, the crushing inflation, the surging border or the feckless and facile foreign policy disasters. But those in charge of this book have a chance to set the record straight now. Let's pray that they take it, even though we know, they almost certainly will not.

Joe Rogan gushes Hunter Biden ‘smarter than his dad' after ‘crack cocaine' interview: ‘He could be president'
Joe Rogan was no fan of former President Joe Biden, but the podcaster raved about his scandal-tarred son Hunter Biden — gushing that a bizarre interview in which he held forth about his illegal drug use showed he was 'smarter than his dad.' 'And he could be president. How about that?' Rogan said on Wednesday's episode of his 'Joe Rogan Experience' podcast after playing a clip from Biden's interview with 'Channel 5' host Andrew Callaghan. 'He could. No bulls–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's smarter than his dad when his dad was young. And he was a crackhead.' Advertisement 3 Joe Rogan was no fan of former President Joe Biden, but the popular podcaster couldn't help but rave about his scandal-tarred son Hunter Biden. The Joe Rogan Experience The podcast host reacted to Biden's candid remarks about his past drug use, calling the interview 'the greatest crack advertisement of all time.' Internet users on social media were abuzz this week about Callaghan's interview with Biden during which the former president's son offered unfiltered, raw commentary about his past drug use. Advertisement 'The only difference between crack cocaine and cocaine is sodium bicarbonate, water, and heat. Literally, that's it,' Biden said. 'People think of crack as being dirty—it's the exact opposite.' He also stunned viewers by claiming alcohol—not crack—was the most destructive substance he ever used. 'Alcohol is the most destructive drug… It puts you in more danger than any other drug that I've ever experienced,' he said, revealing that at one point, he was consuming nearly an entire handle of vodka a day. 3 Rogan said that Hunter Biden 'could be president' after an interview that streamed online. YouTube / Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan The vivid detail with which Biden spoke about drug use had viewers including Rogan opining about whether it was an advertisement for narcotics.

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,' Rogan said. 'He's a lot smarter than people give him credit for.' Every morning, the NY POSTcast offers a deep dive into the headlines with the Post's signature mix of politics, business, pop culture, true crime and everything in between. Subscribe here! Rogan credited Biden for delving into the mechanics of drug addiction, saying: '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.' Advertisement 'He's not dumb.' Biden was not immediately available for comment. During Biden's wide-ranging interview with Callaghan, the ex-president's son unloaded on top Democratic Party strategists and political allies for their criticism of his father. In the segment Rogan highlighted, Biden described the psychology behind smoking crack cocaine and explained why it becomes so addictive. Rogan also praised the interviewer, saying Callaghan 'nailed' the interview. Biden, a longtime target of conservative media and Trump supporters, has faced scrutiny over his business dealings, history of drug use and a criminal case stemming from a firearm purchase. The Post's 2020 exposé on Biden's abandoned laptop revealed emails and files suggesting he pursued overseas business deals by invoking his father's name, including potential links to Chinese and Ukrainian interests.

AFP via Getty Images The laptop also contained evidence of drug use and became central to federal investigations into tax fraud and a gun-related offense, as well as a flashpoint in debates over media censorship after social media platforms limited the story's distribution. While portions of the data have since been authenticated, allegations directly implicating Joe Biden remain unproven. Last year, then-President Biden announced he had pardoned his son following a conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also pleaded guilty to nine tax-related charges. Advertisement Though he has not expressed any interest in running for office, Biden's interview sparked praise from some figures on the right as well. Fox News host Jesse Watters on Monday called him a 'left-wing Trump' following the interview's release. Watters pointed to Hunter Biden's remarks about President Trump's immigration policies, in which the younger Biden said the US could 'invade' El Salvador to retrieve individuals deported by the Trump administration earlier this year. Advertisement 'And make no mistake: everything he's saying is exactly what Joe Biden is thinking,' Watters said. 'This is 'Dark Brandon Jr.' This is the guy the memo was about. This is a guy who doesn't give an F. He's macho. He's bold. To say that they're going to invade El Salvador to bring back the bad hombres. That's like left wing Trump, and this is what they've been looking for,' Watters added.
