Joe Rogan Experience #2224 - Tim Dillon

Recorded on the 2024 US election day, Joe Rogan and comedian Tim Dillon spend over three hours doing a sprawling, comedic political rant. They cover the Harris-Trump race, media bias (including a live Google search experiment), the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the influence of pharmaceutical advertising on cable news. The conversation veers through assassination-attempt conspiracies, money laundering in luxury real estate, China's corporate espionage, and the corporate hollowing-out of culture. It closes with speculation about an AI-run government, declining male hormones, and humanity evolving into feeble cyborgs, plus a running joke about Dillon running for office.
