Joe Rogan, host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” on Spotify, slammed Brian Johnson, who goes by “Liver King,” in a podcast this week for lying about his use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) while trying to claim that he was able to get a ripped physique naturally.

Johnson admitted earlier this week that he lied about taking steroids, saying that he was “embarrassed and ashamed… I lied and I misled a lot of people.”

“I wasn’t surprised at all. It completely make sense,” Rogan said on one of his podcast episodes this week. “There’s no way you can look like that in your 40s, that jacked, he’s preposterously jacked. Now that we know that he’s full of s***. We’re talking about the Liver King, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, a lot of people, like, what are they saying? There’s a guy, if you don’t know who the Liver King is, the guy who calls himself the ‘Liver King,’ and he’s this guy who walks around everywhere with no shirt on. I’ve seen him in Vegas with no shirt on, big bushy beard, super jacked. And he was telling people that the way he gets that way is by sunning his balls. He literally lays down with his a***hole staring at the sun and eats raw liver and just lifts like a maniac. And that’s how he’s so jacked. But it’s preposterous.”

Rogan then played the Liver King’s apology video and repeatedly mocked and laughed at his attempts to explain why he lied about taking steroids.

“You know what the problem is?” Rogan said after watching the apology video. “Sometimes people don’t hang out with people that are smarter than them. And you think you’re the smartest person or maybe because he’s running this company, people have to listen to him. So he’s got this distorted perception of his ability to communicate, and his ability to convince people, like, that was so theatrical and so corny.”

“This is dumb, man. This is a f***ing, you ran a con game and you got busted,” Rogan continued. “And it’s unfortunate that you feel terrible. I’m sorry, you feel bad because that’s just what happens when you get caught lying. But you didn’t have to lie.”

House Republicans will work to bring in “every” single employee involved in efforts to restrict the spread of reporting about the Hunter Biden laptop ahead of the 2020 election, an incoming chairman for a powerful committee vowed on Friday.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who is currently the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, made the declaration Friday night following the publication of internal Twitter communications about how to handle a New York Post story about the contents of the laptop believed to have belonged to President Joe Biden’s son, including details about Hunter’s business dealings, drug use, and sex life. The temporary suppression of the story has led to claims of improper election influence by former President Donald Trump and his allies.

“In January, Jason, when I take your old position as chairman of the House Oversight Committee, I can promise you this: Every employee at Twitter who was involved in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story will have an opportunity to come before Congress and explain their actions to the American people,” Comer told Jason Chaffetz, a former congressman who was guest-hosting in place of Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

“This was a huge story,” he added. Comer then went a bit further, saying, “This story’s just beginning … because we’re going to have every single person at Twitter that was involved in this in front of the House Oversight Committee as soon as possible.”

The string of Twitter messages were published Friday evening with the blessing of CEO Elon Musk by journalist Matt Taibbi, who said the decision to crack down on the reporting “was made at the highest levels of the company, but without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey, with former head of legal, policy and trust Vijaya Gadde playing a key role.”

Among the other officials revealed to have been involved in discussions about the decision to limit the reach of the story under the site’s “hacked materials” policy was Twitter’s deputy general counsel, former top FBI lawyer James Baker. The disclosure led Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former Sr. Director, Head of Trust & Safety, to raise concerns about the potential for harm posed to those whose identities were revealed.

Some of the messages showed deliberations within Twitter as to how to respond to requests from the “Biden team” (likely the presidential campaign of Joe Biden, Hunter’s father) and the “DNC” (likely the Democratic National Committee), apparently asking to delete certain tweets.

Taibbi stressed that he has seen no evidence of “any government involvement in the laptop story,” though he noted several sources who recalled hearing about a “general” warning from federal law enforcement that summer about possible foreign hacks. The journalist also said “both parties” had the ability to request that certain posts be reviewed and deleted. “For instance, in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored,” Taibbi tweeted, adding that the system appeared to be skewed in favor of the Democrats.

During the interview, Comer explained how Republicans have already made moves to prepare for taking over the House in the next term.

“We knew that the [Democratic] National Committee was communicating with Twitter. We knew the Biden campaign was communicating with Twitter,” Comer said. “That’s why, in April of this year, we, on the House Oversight Committee, requested that Twitter preserve all documents and correspondence between Twitter executives and the [Democratic] National Committee and the Biden campaign with respect to the Hunter Biden laptop story.”
