Joe Rogan Experience #1453 - Eric Weinstein
Posted on 04/05/2020 9:35:43 AM PDT by conservative98
The podcast host Joe Rogan has said he will vote for Donald Trump over Joe Biden in the presidential election, should the former vice-president be the Democratic nominee.
The comic was speaking on Friday’s edition of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, which regularly tops the iTunes chart for downloads. Rogan has nearly 6m Twitter followers, regularly appears on television as a commentator on mixed martial arts, and is seen as an influential voice with young and blue-collar male voters.
During a conversation with guest Eric Weinstein, managing director of Thiel Capital, talk turned to the election. Weinstein, who works for the Trump-supporting tech mogul Peter Thiel, said he would not vote for Trump or Biden, the probable challenger in November.
Rogan, who has endorsed Bernie Sanders, said the party had made “morons” out of voters by appearing to favour Biden.
“I’d rather vote for Trump than [Biden],” said Rogan. “I don’t think [Biden] can handle anything. You’re relying entirely on his cabinet. If you want to talk about an individual leader who can communicate, he can’t do that. And we don’t know what the fuck he’ll be like after a year in office.
“The pressure of being president of the United States is something that no one has ever prepared for. The only one who seems to be fine with it is Trump, oddly enough.”
The president is 73 but Rogan said: “He doesn’t seem to be aging at all or in any sort of decline. Obama, almost immediately, started looking older. George W [Bush], almost immediately, started looking older.”
Biden will be 78 in November. Describing the former US senator as “very old”, Rogan said Biden’s famous verbal slip-ups were “not a normal way to communicate unless he’s high”.

Rogan is a fairly complex character. I don’t listen to him often, but when I do I usually like what I hear. But, he has been oddly against President Trump. So it’s nice to see that he feels Biden would be worse. That’s something.
Rogan’s a proud leftist, but he’s not crazy.
Who f’ing cares?
He’s a goofball
Not super informed but pleasant
Who f’ing cares?”
We don’t, but this was The Guardian and if Rogan can turn off a few hundred thousand lefties from Biden I’ll take it.
I heard him awhile back and I can’t even remember who he was interviewing, but his guest mentioned the FISA abuses, the spying, the false warrants, etc. (this was at the time Hannity had Solomon and Carter on every night). The information was long out there, and his guest mentioned it, almost in passing, assuming Rogan would be aware of such a huge issue.
Rogan didn’t have a clue what his guest was talking about. He even looked over to his producer and said something like, “Do you know what he’s talking about? Have you heard anything about this?” I don’t think his producer was aware, either. I haven’t listened since, but I’d be curious to know if Rogan bothered to look into it further. If he’s worth anything, he’d have jumped on that like ugly on Maxine Waters.
I think Rogan could be brought over, with time. He’s not stupid, and if he had the right guests, making solid arguments and pointing to fact, I think he’d listen.
It would be a WONDERFUL thing if he woke up, as he’s extremely influential among the millenials. My son thinks the world of him, and he’s fallen for the leftie crap for the past few years.
Anyone with 2 ears and 2 eyes knows that Joe Biden is a drooling moron who is slipping into senility.
At least Bernie stands for actual ideas.. Crazy, communist ideas, but even a tiny amount of sincerity regarding the craziest crap is sometimes more attractive than the pure lust for power of Biden, Clinton, Kerry, et al
Stop pushing that BS
Exactly. F**k Rogan. I’m happy to hear liberals give up on liberalism and come over to our side but they needn’t carry on as if they’ve suddenly decided to stop sleeping in the middle of an interstate highway.
And losing those House seats would mean that Impeachment 3.0 couldn't happen (of course 2.0 will happen in August because of the Wuhan flu).
An endorsement from Joe Rogan is probably better than an endorsement from all the late night tv talk show hosts. He is a pioneer in the podcast field, and has a very large audience. Not only is his audience large, it is probably mostly composed of the kind of independent voters that candidates need to get.
Furthermore, Rogan is a Hollywood celebrity. A minor one, but still he is connected to Hollywood and entertainment. For him to not be afraid of endorsing President Trump means there is a lot more support for the president than it appears in California.
Except for the fact that he prefers Bernie over both of them. Another commie moron.
Correct.
He’s a non-Republican with a large following of not-so-political people. So influential, and perhaps influential in a good way here.
They may be smart enough to know they have no one that can beat Trump, so it might as well be Biden who loses.
