Rogan is an absolute fucking sellout. I think he and Elon have been colluding this entire time to get Trump elected. It's why Rogan put out a clip a 1-2 years back saying that he thinks Elon is the smartest person alive and he's been slobbing his knob since. Posting things like "The great and powerful Elon Musk. If it weren't for him, we'd be fucked."

They've been working on this shit for a while. Rogan intentionally held off on doing the Trump interview just before the election. Rogan has been bought. 

It'll be interesting to see if this hurts Rogan in the long run. 

The reason why Joe Rogan seems on the fence about it is because he does not want to appear to be biased. He wants to come across as a normal dude who is reasonable, and who just looks at the facts and in the end has to admit that he has to vote for Trump because that's the only way sadly.

But it's obvious from his audience what kind of person he is. They are all conspiracy brained MAGA types.

@Scholar @zurew I dont understand how he would endorse Trump other than he’s just trying to be/look anti-woke.

Is not stupid that people like Lex, Russell brand, Joe rogan would be so bothered by the left that they’d go for the clearly insane alternative?

Lex and Russell Brand are probably russian ops. Nobody should respect them or anything they have to say..

Is there validity to why they think that? The above is what they're going off of. As we can see, the elections are super tight which hinge on a few thousands votes in swing states. If immigration is being increased to these states, for them to then be able to vote in the next election and with incentives in place for them to vote Democrat as they will be able to bring along their family more easily and have benefits etc then wouldn't that solidify a blue stronghold. Technically Californicating the entire country into a uniparty.

Kamala Harris wasn’t even voted in by her own party, let alone the country. She dropped out of the Democratic primary before a single vote was cast because her support was embarrassingly low. The voters didn’t want her. She was placed on the ticket, appointed, packaged as the “historic” choice, and now we’re supposed to pretend she embodies the democratic will of the people? Democrats bend over backward to rig their own primaries, sidelining anyone who doesn’t fit the establishment mold. They did it to Bernie Sanders - twice. They push out dissenting voices, and use “superdelegates” to make sure the “wrong” candidate doesn’t get too close to power.

They’re not interested in democracy within their own party, let alone in the country as a whole. But they’ll preach about it endlessly, pretending the right is the only threat, while they consolidate power through manipulation and procedural games. And they’re the same party that’s allied with big tech and corporate media to control the flow of information, to censor and de-platform anyone who challenges the narrative. They cry about misinformation and “protecting truth,” but what they really mean is controlling the narrative so that only their version of events gets through. If democracy is supposed to mean an informed public freely choosing its leaders, what do you call a system where information is so tightly managed, where dissenting voices are so systematically silenced? That’s not democracy - it’s manipulation dressed up in democratic clothes. 

People raving about rescuing democracy really mean protecting their parties monopoly on Democracy.

Mmmkay.

Yeah, he endorsed Trump because his fanbase would be extremely pissed at him for fence-sitting during this election if Trump loses.  It’s not like his fanbase is toxic or anything lol

Bro is at the mercy of his ideology now and can’t escape, it’s crazy to watch.

I think it was a mistake to endorse Trump and basically dickride both Trump and Elon like he has for 4 years since 2020.  I think this revenge vote for Kamala ignoring his dive-like request to do 3 hours at his studio is going to backfire lmao

I don’t necessarily think so. He probably has 350 Million Dollar he doesn’t even need his fanbase.

Not talking about money here.  We know he has enough.  Optics are a whole other thing that isn’t so tangible.

Cheapening the brand.

The democratic party is inherently undemocratic. They are not interested in democracy but want to retain all power. They do all the things they accuse Trump of doing. They are in bed with farma, military business and big tech. Even Obama was straight out lying in his latest speech. 

Like Rogan planned to promote Trump, that just hasn't been the case. He had podcast with Tulsi, RFK for years now. They both saw how toxic the democratic party has become. Supporting Trump was the only option really. 

Under the democratic party the US has given billions of contracts to millitary corporations under the motto to save Ukrain all while endagering the rest of the world. They hardly spend any money to help their own countrymen like when the disaster in Hawaii happened. Crime seems to have been legalized in several states and entire businesses have been created to out of the homelessness situation in California and San Francisco.

I'm not a fan of Trump and he is being accused of wanting to be a dictator even though during his last presidency he clearly was not.

That’s one of the best things they’ve done imo. They "should" give much more.

They should stop giving and let Ukraine make a compromise. We have had enough refugees over the last 20 years thanks to their spending. Stop meddling in foreign countries and start focusing on their own country.

That’s not what the US is about. It’s the empire meddling in other countries. And sometimes it’s good like with Taiwan, Ukraine. And many times it’s bad like with most of Latin America, Iraq etc.

Meddling in Ukraine is good? Tell that to the tens of thousands who have been maimed or killed.

Yea because Russia is the worst.

I had a bit of respect for Rogan for not siding with either party, but to endorse Trump is nuts. I wonder if it's just an audience capture thing as most of his viewers are probably maga aligned

I don't think his endorsement is just blind audience capture. I think he's being paid handsomely from Musk. That's just my speculation but my read has been right so far about a lot of this stuff. I called it 4 years ago that Musk and Tucker Carlson would either position themselves very high up in politics or try to become president. 

During covid, I noticed a flood of media talking about what a genius Elon musk was. It was all over the place. Then, right in the middle of that media blitz, Rogan brings on Dave Chappelle and tells him Elon is the most interesting person he's ever met and then they spend 5 minutes selling the shit out of the idea that Elon is not only a modern-day Einstein, but one of the coolest people you could hang out with... just one of the guys. The way they delivered the message caught my eye.

I used to think Rogan was respectable and had integrity, but I started to doubt this when his video thumbnails and titles were obviously targeting MAGA. I was suspicious for a few years, but now I'm convinced he's not as integrous as he seems. Like Lex Fridman, he seems like an honest actor, but I think they've been corrupted and I think they know it. 

Also, I think Elon bought Twitter largely to help Trump get elected. Elon and his rich buddies have been plotting this for a while and Rogan was a willing participant.

Joe's interview with Trump was timed perfectly. I asked ChatGPT:

"If a presidential candidate had the opportunity to conduct an interview with the world’s leading influencer, what would be the ideal date to schedule it for maximum public impact?"

Answer: Oct 25th. (Same date as the Rogan-Trump interview)

Reasoning: October 25th is optimal because it’s close enough to Election Day (November 5th) to stay fresh in voters’ minds but still allows time for the interview to circulate widely across media platforms, build momentum, and influence early voters. This date avoids the clutter of last-minute campaign messages while still maximizing visibility and impact in the critical final stretch.

I can't prove this, but it makes sense because these people have very clear pathways to immense power, and they're knowingly getting sucked into the vortex, and they like it.

Not sure if you paid attention to yesterday’s election feed, many channels said that Joe Rogan fans went to vote for Trump. Honestly YouTube shoot Harris campaign in the food by shadow banning that clip. I know some will disagree, but the matter of fact the video was not available on YouTube nor did it went into feeds, I had to specifically type in exact name of that show for it to appear, otherwise you had few of very stupid clips floating. The video was censored/shadowed whether you agree or not, that is a matter of fact as I personally had hard time finding it. This entire censorship, not sure if it was YouTube who did it or someone high up asked, really prompted a Rogan supporters to vote for Trump. Or maybe YouTube deliberately made it as it says whatever is forbidden that’s yes sweater, don’t know. It was mentioned actually in every outlet, msnbc, cnn and fox; I was watching all three of them interchangeably.

[Lyubov]

I thought lex was basically neutral, like Switzerland type neutral where he does what’s best for business but takes no side and his ideology of not taking a stance allows for the best to unfold.

The video was absolutely available on youtube, I checked it myself. It was a completely baseless lie, lol.

 

It wasn't Trump voters who made the difference in this election, he got as many as he did last time. What made the difference here is that many democratic voters didn't go to vote.

No it's not a lie. I can personally attest the video didn't show in my YouTube feed aswell but showed the next podcast Rogan did with Francis Foster. Only then did I discover that there is a video of Trump that happened few days before and was surprised it didn't show on feed even tho it has 10x more views. 

Edit. Oh wait I just realized you're perhaps talking about a different video. But my example is still relevant so I'll leave it.
