Joe Rogan Experience #2245 - Rod Blagojevich

Shout out to Brendan schaub for not being on this podcast

Joe shining a light on political corruption is always a welcome podcast.

In the mid-2000s, I was an inspector on a City of Chicago construction project. We placed sidewalks on Mr. Rod’s block. It was a hot summer day, and his lovely wife, Patti, brought out bottled water for the crew. Such a small, kind gesture, even after all these years, I still recall it.

Just the mere fact that this man ended up in prison, while the Clintons remain free, says EVERYthing.

The Serb in this dude was too stubborn to plead guilty 😂 respect

I’m from Chicago. I can tell you Blago was a LEGEND. Never should’ve went to jail.

First Serbian on Joe Rogan show. Hello to Kragujevac and all Serbians who are watching. Idemo nissss

Content like this is so valuable. CNN would never allow Rod to tell his story.

The last time I saw him, he thanked me for simply being who I was at the time, in his neighborhood. He shared that when he was in prison and worried about his kids, he always felt confident knowing the Chicago police would be there to protect his family. I say that was the greatest compliment he could ever say to any Chicago officer. I’ve always respected him, and I’m glad he’s out now and able to share his side of the story.

My respect for Blago increased ten fold after watching this 🤧 I hope you get the justice you deserve brother, as a Chicagoan I appreciate everything you did for our city .
