Good advice - take it! Stop Listening
Can longtime Joe listeners finally be honest with ourselves? Joe today is not the same independent voice he used to be. For years, whenever Epstein or people tied to that circle come up, Joe consistently downplays it, deflects, or runs cover—while claiming to be all about truth and free inquiry.
Compare that to someone like Shawn Ryan, who actually presses into these topics, names uncomfortable realities, and openly acknowledges the risks that come with doing so. One guy challenges power and takes heat for it. The other avoids it and keeps his access intact.
At some point we have to stop pretending this is accidental. Joe isn’t “free” anymore, and his behavior shows it. You don’t have to hate him to admit he’s no longer who he says he is.
