#5 Joe Rogan and Terrence Howard discuss multiple theories and question current scientific beliefs
Joe Rogan hosted Hollywood actor Terrence Howard on episode #2152 of JRE in May 2024. This episode generated quite a bit of buzz as Howard proposed multiple conspiracy theories and challenged established principles of physics and other scientific theories.
As reported by Newsweek, Howard questioned existing beliefs on topics such as the event horizon and gravity. He even suggested that the universe is finite rather than infinite. He also suggested that the planet is moving away from the sun, and that Venus will eventually replace Earth in terms of distance from the sun.

The “Empire” star claims to own 97 patents, which seems to suggest they are fairly important in the field of science and technology. Howard returned in JRE #2171 in July 2024 in an episode that also featured Eric Weinstein, who has a PhD in mathematical physics.
Over the course of the conversation, Weinstein and Rogan appeared to respectfully dispute Howard’s claims. They discussed Howard’s insinuation that some of the biggest scientific beliefs the world currently sees are distorted.

#4 Joe Rogan and Ryan Graves talk about lost nuclear theory regarding UAP sighting in New Jersey
The United States has long been a hub for reported sightings of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs). In November 2024, there was a spike in UAP sightings, especially in the New Jersey area, with many people even claiming to have seen groups of drones in the night sky.
In late 2024, John Ferguson, a military veteran, contractor, and drone provider, posted a TikTok video suggesting that mysterious sightings in New Jersey may be a U.S. government operation. did.
Mr. Ferguson pointed out that approximately 80 nuclear warheads went missing between the 1990s and 2001, a period during which the U.S. and Russian governments jointly took control of a range of nuclear warheads and infrastructure in Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was removed. Mr. Ferguson hinted that one of these nuclear weapons had been smuggled into the United States, adding that the government was secretly searching for it.
In the December 2024 JRE episode #2244, former U.S. Navy pilot Ryan Graves addressed a theory that many consider to be a conspiracy theory. Graves, the UAP expert, said deploying hundreds of nighttime drones rather than ground teams to search for alleged nuclear weapons is not a method commonly used in such cases. I explained.
“It’s not necessarily the way they do things to begin with.”
Joe Rogan was notable for his rather light-hearted response, joking that Graves’ recognition made him feel better since he had been distraught over the weekend. Nevertheless, the entire segment once again sparked backlash against Rogan for promoting the purported conspiracy theory, especially since UAP/UFO sightings in New Jersey are already a sensitive topic.

In the June 2024 JRE episode #2160, Joe Rogan hosted author and technology and space enthusiast Billy Carson. The two ended up discussing Logan’s past conversations with Hollywood star Terrence Howard. Logan explained that, according to Howard, planets are created from debris ejected from the sun.

Logan said that before Earth leaves this ideal region of space, humans will strive to make massive technological advances to enable humans and other life forms on Earth to survive without the sun. He recounted Mr. Howard’s warning that he must do so. The MMA personality said:
“Have you ever talked to Terrence Howard? Do you know his theory about how planets are created? It’s just objects being ejected from the sun over billions of years. , there is a “Goldilocks zone” where life can be created. And as this “Goldilocks Zone” goes, you have to be super-technically skilled to control your environment to the point where you don’t need to. The sun to keep you alive. ”
Carson later hinted that he had spoken to Howard and said that the theory certainly made sense. Nevertheless, Rogan again came under fire for spotlighting Howard’s theories, which some critics deemed alarming.

In December 2024 episode #2239, Joe Rogan hosted fitness influencer Derek (of “More Plates More Dates” fame). The two discussed a variety of topics, including the coronavirus pandemic that wreaked havoc across the world several years ago. Over the years, Logan has often been accused of spreading misinformation about the coronavirus and coronavirus vaccines.

Netizens were divided on whether Logan was right. Some suggested that Rogan, a world-famous podcaster, was adding to the confusion, especially with his statements that conspiracy theorists are right about the coronavirus.
He referred to a 520-page report by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which was said to have been prepared after a two-year investigation. Logan specifically said:

#1 Joe Rogan’s evaluation of election fraud allegations, dichotomy in evaluation of 2024 election
Joe Rogan previously supported Bernie Sanders, a Democrat who is considered left-wing. However, many sociopolitical analysts have emphasized that in recent years, Mr. Logan’s support has gradually shifted to the right, considered Republican.
Logan was criticized by some critics for featuring various conspiracy theories during a podcast appearance hosted by former President Donald Trump on JRE in October 2024. Now, Trump subsequently won the presidential election in November, and many attributed it to his JRE appearance (which helped influence the young male demographic) and Rogan’s public endorsement.
In JRE episode #2234 in late November 2024, Logan hosted businessman and engineer Marc Andreessen. Like many other prominent supporters of current U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who won the 2016 presidential election and lost the 2020 presidential election, Mr. Logan has been involved in the 2020 presidential election, which was marked by alleged fraud. He reaffirmed his position on the matter.
He also stressed that Trump’s political opponents and other like-minded opponents also attempted to rig the 2024 election, but failed. Now, many observers criticized Logan’s assessment and questioned the basis on which he determined which elections were fraudulent and which were fraudulent. Logan said:
“After the election, I thought, “Wow, voting works.” Voting works, that’s good, the system doesn’t seem to be completely rigged, but at least the media can It appears that there was an attempt to rig the 2020 election…Where is the real rigging in the 2020 election?”
