Quentin Tarantino follows up on Joe Rogan's remarks about Donald Trump releasing Jan. 6 prisoners, discusses conspiracy charges 

Joe Rogan recently talked with Quentin Tarantino and his frequent screenwriting partner Roger Avary about Donald Trump potentially releasing Jan. 6 convicts after taking the oath of office next year. Following Avary's argument that the government shouldn't have held the people in 2021 behind bars, Tarantino hinted that the administration can still make an arrest based on conspiracy, even without concrete proof.

Tarantino made an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast with Avary and addressed a variety of topics with the UFC commentator. Notably, Avary and the famed Hollywood filmmaker wrote the script for 'Pulp Fiction,' which won an Academy Award.

Rogan emphasized during their talk that as soon as Trump takes office next year, he will free the Jan. 6 prisoners who were found guilty in 2021 of taking part in an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol after getting charged with assault on police officers.

''One of the first things he said was he was going to release all the January 6 prisoners.'' [1:40:57]

When Rogan asked how long those people ought to have been imprisoned, Avary said:

''They should least be going to trial, yes you should at least be going to trial. It is unconscionable to hold somebody for over a year two years.'' [1:41:05]

Following this, Tarantino gave his take on the matter, saying:

''The one charge that the government can put against you where they don't need direct evidence is conspiracy, if they arrest you for conspiracy that means they don't have direct evidence but they don't need direct evidence for conspiracy.'' [1:41:26]

Joe Rogan and Quentin Tarantino discuss the use of cocaine in the 80s

Joe Rogan discussed the widespread usage of cocaine in the 1980s as well as the political issues with Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary in the aforementioned podcast episode.

Rogan claimed that when he worked at Nick's Comedy Stop in Boston, the establishment offered comedians money or drugs.

''When I worked in Boston at Nick's Comedy Stop, they would offer to pay you in cocaine or cash. There were guys who just took the cocaine. Certain comics, they just wanted to get paid in coke. Yeah, wild times. You know, that's the 80s."

In response, Tarantino revealed his experience with cocaine, saying:

''I was actually really kind of proud of us 'cause we all kind of like, woo, we all kind of went nutty for a little bit with this kind of 'more access to coke' than we normally would have.'' [2:32:50]
