Rogan and Trump

[Mr.Ratbastard]

1 hour then she can be 30 minutes late like she was for Bret Baier. Joe talks for 15 of those 30 and she kackles her way through 15 minutes.

 

[Toreadorranger]

That was literally the best way they could’ve handled that, say that she is too busy with her official duties and can’t just jet off to the middle of nowhere. Put it back on him. It’s also a crock of shit but from a PR spin, that was their best play.
After reading all of the suppression news on this thread I decided to go into my desktop which is logged into one of my business emails on Google, I went to YouTube and it was the fourth result on the homepage trending stuff. I just hit play and walked away to go about my day But I will go interact with it every now and then to make sure I count as another view.
I have never watched any Rogan on YouTube ever, I just listen on Spotify. The only time I go to YouTube is to figure out how to fix something I’ve never worked on before

I attempted to find it via searching youtube on the app on my phone yesterday. I could not find it. Lots of reaction videos and short clips but the full video would not show up. I eventually had to search "Joe Rogan Trump Full video" in google to get the youtube link.

 

[Gbkeith]

If she goes on Rogan for three hours, likely by hour 2 her political survival instincts kick in, and she lunges under the table to suck a dick

I have to admit I’m curious. My gut instinct says she’s good at it.

 

[Motorcharge]

I see a lot of the media making a big deal out of Tony Hinchcliffe's joke about Puerto Rico and how it'll hurt him with the Hispanic vote not realizing that the majority of Americans Hispanics are from Mexico and Mexicans fucking hate Puerto Ricans.

Who doesn't? They're fucking insufferable. Pretty much all Hispanics hate Puerto Ricans, hell they all pretty much hate each other.

Besides, they only make up like 10% of the Hispanic population in the US and like 90% of those are in the Northeast or Florida. The Northeast is all going blue anyway and the ones in Florida sure as shit aren't flipping it blue.

 

[Slander]

My wife and I were watching that last night and i was telling her how much I love this timeline sometimes, never thought I would see Tony Hinchcliffe as an opener at a trump rally

I'm surprised they are pissed off at that joke and not the one about carving watermelons at a his black friends house

 

[Blacksheep10]

After my desktop experiment I went to my wife’s phone, she doesn’t look at any of the shit that I have ever looked at. It was on the mobile browser not on the app. I couldn’t find it by clicking any of the trending or whatever tabs at top or podcast tab. Then I went to the search bar and searched Rogan Trump full episode and it was the top result, I searched Rogan Trump and it was the 11th result
ETA, when I clicked the search bar and got to Rogan T the 4th predicted search term was Rogan Trump full episode, so I clicked that and top result.

 

[Gregj50!!!!!]

not a chance.

thats the game the Kamala folks are going to play. cant make it, bow to our terms.... ooops cant do that? oh well, not our fault.

Yup….. pretty sure they truly are busy….. scrambling to every swing state possible before Tuesday!!!!!!

 

[Texas97]

Yup….. pretty sure they truly are busy….. scrambling to every swing state possible before Tuesday!!!!!!

you don't need to defend your vote for Kamala.

if she truly had something to offer, she could reach 50 million people in two days by doing a 3 hour podcast.

ducking it means shes garbage and scared

 

[Gregj50!!!!!]

you don't need to defend your vote for Kamala.

if she truly had something to offer, she could teach 50 million people in two days by doing a 3 hour podcast.

No….. she needs school busses!!!!!!

Just tells you which voting bloc they think they can sway the most in the waning seconds of the 4th quarter.

Or... they're just a bunch of retarded racists who think that all Hispanics are the same and think the same so obviously Mexicans would get offended about a joke dunking on Puerto Rico.

Honestly, I think #2 might be more likely. They already have the Obamas out there browbeating black people. This was their pitch to the brown people. They really think that they OWN all those votes.

Probably, I mean these are the same people, liberal college educated white people, that tried to change how their entire language is structured to be more "inclusive" (latinx)

 

[east_beast]

Probably, I mean these are the same people that tried to change how their entire language is structured to be more "inclusive" (latinx)

While actual Latinos were saying "stop, we hate this shit". Their response was basically "shut up, this isn't about you we're rolling with it, you just shut up and keep voting blue no matter who."

 

[Motorcharge]

This is their "you ain't black" moment for hispanics.

 

[WTF?]

LOL, yeah so they could show up 25 min late with a hard stop 32 min later... Which is exactly what they did on the Fox news interview; showing up 15 min late for a 30 min interview, and she still imploded for the majority of that 20 min interaction.

 

[CarterKraft]

It dropped on YT before it was on Spotify. That surprised me.

I think the Spotify "deal" is over or it's greatly less cash than it was so he has a push for making sure the YT videos are up and monetizable.

I think this bullshit about copyright, rights to $$$ in youtube videos might kill the platform.
They can't play songs or anything now because copyright trolls will claim the video.

Which IMO is a major short sided view on the problem by the trolls because hearing a cool song on Rogan will often lead me to download it or stream it myself increasing viewers.

Agreed. I don’t like YouTube. Litigation tube, propaganda tube, censorship tube.

Redtube however

 

[Coyote]

JD Vance to be with Rogan this Wednesday.

 

[Wades_76_cj7]

that will be interesting.

 

[Ditchrunner]

JD Vance to be with Rogan this Wednesday.

I think I’m more interested in this interview. We know Trump and his positions. Vance is relatively new on the national stage, so it will give him a chance to humanize himself and potentially clarify some of Trump’s plans.

 

[Motorcharge]

He's more down to earth than I initially thought. Watched him on Tucker's tour and bits and pieces of Theo Von's podcast and was surprised at how candid he was. He's either fairly normal or a complete psychopath. Either way it was refreshing to watch a politician just talk like a normal person instead of putting on a face and playing a part.

Yes, but will he partake with Rogan?

 

[Motorcharge]

Yes, but will he partake with Rogan?

Doubt it, and it would be just fucking stupid for him to right now given it's still Federally illegal. Wouldn't put it past the DoJ for a second to go after him over it and the media to make a huge deal out of it all over the news.

When Elon did it it turned into a huge hassle for him since he's a Federal defense contractor. Feds came in to his company and basically forced drug tests on everyone, fined him, etc.

Not to mention dudes recovering addict mother

 

[Roc Doc]

Didn't your mommy ever teach you actions speak louder than words? I doubt you have to worry about Trump moving into your spare bedroom so ,maybe help the jerk do what he does best.
Remember Obama's pretty smile, smells nice and speaks well was enough to make some people's knees weak and earn himself their vote. Pretty fucking stupid but what the hell, he seamed nice enough.

His actions? Like draining the swamp, like getting Mexico to pay for a wall, like repealing Obamacare and replacing it with something "beautiful", like supporting clear 2A violations, like raising taxes for the rich, like hiring only the best and brightest, etc.. He's full of shit, but if you want to believe his lies rock on. It's such a weird cult of personality.

I just call it like I see it. I don't believe much of anything he says, I do give him credit for the SCOTUS nominations which would have been a disaster under HRC, and I do give him credit for changing the rules for bringing in offshore monies, and for not getting us involved in any new foreign wars, so there. Look, I've said it before, but if the GOP could get someone that could convey the talking points in a coherent manner, and get both sides of the aisle to work together a la Reagan, we'd have a much better shot at taking the Whitehouse back.

And for the record, I don't believe anything Harris or Waltz say either.

Ok now give us an equal length rant about the negatives of Harris please

The swamp,Ttrump really cannot fire or remove elected people from office but he can be one of the first in history to call them out publicly. Voters own this failure. And don't forget "fake news" was shocking to a lot of people that didn't want to believe it. I would say more know now than ever before and that's pretty huge in my book.
The wall, I enjoyed a large portion of migrants being stopped at Mexico's southern border and another portion stopped by Mexico before crossing our border which helped pay for it no? Over 500 miles were built with miles left laying in piles and It should have been finished.
Trump's bill to replace Obamacare had little to no support likely because Washington is full of corrupt cowards. Trump's fault? The left decided they as a whole would never work with Trump as soon as he started showing strong polling results.
2A deal was stupid. I agree.
Raising tax on the rich, not sure what you are referring to?
On Rogan he agreed with you about poor choices hiring people in his last administration. I agree.

His actions? Like draining the swamp, like getting Mexico to pay for a wall, like repealing Obamacare and replacing it with something "beautiful", like supporting clear 2A violations, like raising taxes for the rich, like hiring only the best and brightest, etc.. He's full of shit, but if you want to believe his lies rock on. It's such a weird cult of personality.

I just call it like I see it. I don't believe much of anything he says, I do give him credit for the SCOTUS nominations which would have been a disaster under HRC, and I do give him credit for changing the rules for bringing in offshore monies, and for not getting us involved in any new foreign wars, so there. Look, I've said it before, but if the GOP could get someone that could convey the talking points in a coherent manner, and get both sides of the aisle to work together a la Reagan, we'd have a much better shot at taking the Whitehouse back.

And for the record, I don't believe anything Harris or Waltz say either.
