Tried to watch it. The host did a lot on talking, none of which was of any interest.

Currently 21 million YT views

Maybe some of them who only go along with the crowd or peer-pressure which is the Dems typical strategy to get people to vote for them.

I just watched it an hour ago. Trump did just fine. Most of Rogan’s guests do well, Rogan is a champ at this and knows how to query his guests. He can countenance other viewpoint and is a solid interviewer. Kamala backed out. She can’t handle 2-3 hours of light hearted banter. She is an empty… well I better not say.

Boo Hoo.

If your lucky then you may bet to watch one with Kamala.

At roughly $8,000 per million views, they made almost $17 million in revenue. I think I’m in the wrong business.

You Tube is not the only place that people watched this. So the number of viewers is higher than just youtube.

The election is over. Trump is peaking at the right time similar to '16.

The undecideds are already moving towards Trump.

I’ve never been one bit impressed by Rogan or his interview style. His show is kinda’ like watching someone slowly turn cement.

Many, many under 50s watch Rogan’s podcasts in the US, especially the under 30s. I would be surprised if this *didn’t* move the needle of the undecided or formerly uninterested voters.

Figures that go on Rogan and are amenable/likeable often get big ratings/PR boosts out of it. When Musk went on, there was renewed interest in his stuff and enough people supporting him as a result that many regulators even ceased lawfare against him for a while.

Doesn’t matter what you or I think of it. That long conversation style is extremely popular with the under 50 set as is reflected in his ratings.

One reason it’s popular is because it is impossible for someone to shovel BS for the entire time period of an interview. A number of people have tried and everyone has failed. People are tired of being lied to by talking heads on the media outlets and this is an alternative to that.

The election is over. Correct.
The Steal is in the bag for the communists.
They did it in 2020 with no repercussions except some blow hards wringing their hands.
The left giggles when the so called conservatives claim they’re in the lead.
What is your course of action once the next steal is solidified?

If Camel Hairs has a heart, she is eating her heart out for not doing Rogan.

2020 was covid year. We didn't have Elon Musk on our side back then.

Now we have X (formerly Twitter). Elon Musk is a huge help.

So yeah, not going to work this time.

Do you think that YT/Google will renege on some/all of this payment?

I watched the entire thing today on youtube(Didnt watch it yesterday since it was game 1 of the world series) Ive never listened to Rogan before but damn he is a very very smart guy..and having Trump on was absolutely BRILLIANT he did great!! Trump was in his element, he had so much fun and he knows SO much about UFC it was great..I think Trump could have talked for a few more hours but he was already late for his Michigan rally

They can’t. Rogan has enough money to take them to the cleaners, and if he needs more, I’m sure Musk will stump up.

Right now all of Hollywood (and by extension that includes YouTube) is terrified that Musk will get involved in a case against them, given what’s happened in the Disney v. Gina Carano case, and the results of the smaller scale where Peter Thiel backed Hulk Hogan against Gawker to set the precedent.

My calculator says $160,000.
