I'd like to see more people point out that every time the Trump Administration complains about leaks—or we learn that another Trump department has threatened employees over leaks—the stakes aren't about leaks at all. The Trump Administration is scared that media will find out what it's really doing.

When even Rogan is like, wait a minute, this might be going too far…
Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.”
He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!
Trump: "If you notice, every country that has the death penalty has no drug problem. They execute drug dealers. And when you think about it, it's very humane, because every drug dealer on average they say kills at least 500 people ... I don't know if our country is ready for it. I am ready for it."
