Excerpt:
The internet was set ablaze as former President Donald Trump sat down with Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience—a moment fans had been eagerly awaiting. The nearly three-hour conversation took place in Rogan’s Austin, Texas, studio, diving into hot-button cultural and political issues and even causing Trump to delay a planned speech in Michigan. However, a curious hiccup occurred when the video was unlisted briefly on YouTube, leaving fans scrambling for access.


Such an amazing interview!! This will certainly make some waves!!

This is Trump at his best. No script. Free-flowing discussion.

Donald Trump just accomplished what Kamala Harris never could—take unscripted questions from Joe Rogan and answer them directly and clearly.

The conversation started with a bang as Rogan shed light on shocking footage from Trump’s 2015 appearance on The View.

Trump appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast for nearly three hours: Here are the top moments
Trump tapes 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast

Former President Trump taped "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast for nearly three hours on Friday.

The podcast, recorded in Austin, Texas, afforded the Republican presidential nominee exposure to Rogan's 14.5 million followers on Spotify and 17.6 million followers on YouTube. Rogan, the nation's most-listened-to podcast host, is extremely influential with young male voters, who Trump is aiming to reach.

Here are the top takeaways from the podcast that aired on Friday.

Trump asks Rogan to explain why he's gotten bad publicity: ‘You said a lot of wild s---’

While explaining the process of choosing political nominations once he got into office, Trump discussed his initial appointment of John Bolton, who served as White House National Security adviser. In 2019, Trump fired Bolton, who remains a staunch critic. Trump described how Phil Ruffin, a fellow American businessman, warned him that Bolton was a "bad guy," but by then, Trump had already hired him.

"And he was right. But he was good in a certain way. He's a nut job. And every time I had to deal with a country when they saw this whack job standing behind me, they said, 'Man, Trump's going to go to war with us.' He was with Bush when they went stupidly into the Middle East. They should have never done it. I used to say it as a civilian, so I always got more publicity than other people," Trump said.

"It wasn't like I was trying," Trump said. "In fact, I don't know exactly why. Maybe you can tell me."

"I could definitely tell you," Rogan offered. "You said a lot of wild s---. … And then CNN in all their brilliance by highlighting your wild s--- made you much more popular. And they boost you in the polls because people were tired of someone talking in this bulls--- pre-prepared politician lingo. And even if they didn't agree with you, they at least knew whoever that guy is, that's him. That's really him."

The lamestream radio news version that I heard a little while ago: Trump was 3 hours late for his rally because of the Rogan appearance, so some of his supporters left.

That's it. That's the story.

Zoomers and Gen Alpha watch/listen to Joe Rogan, they aren't watching news anymore.

Yeah, I doubt anyone under the age of 50 was tuned to a radio station giving the 10 a.m. news on a Saturday. I just happened to be in the car at the time and surfed onto that station. But at least they convinced some Boomer liberal that Trump certainly has lost all his supporters because he was late to a rally. 
-----------------------

Rogan, who has not historically been a Trump fan, started dishing out compliments to the former president, telling him that the reason why he's so popular is because he's genuine and doesn't speak in “bullsh*t, pre-prepared politician lingo.”

I just texted with one Wisconsin voter who changed her mind because of this Rogan interview. She’s a super-educated, highly successful business woman and suburban mom. She was going to sit it out because she hates Trump but thinks Harris’s policies are terrible.

She watched the interview with her husband who’s a huge Rogan fan and after seeing Trump in long form she changed her mind. Trump’s sincere love for the troops and the conversation about the Afghan withdrawal tilted it.

She said that after seeing him talk for so long she sees that he’s like her dad. He just speaks like people from a different time and place and he’s not the monster shown in sound bites.

In my opinion, this is Trump at his best.

Agreed.
It shows a stark contrast to Kalama, who needs a teleprompter to do a town hall, too.

10 more days till the election.  By all indications, Trump should win.  It's the fraudulent voting that the DEMS are so masterful at that worries me. 

[Ghost Bear]

The YouTube video currently has just over 14 million views, in just over 15 hours since it was posted. That's not counting how many people have watched or listened to the interview on Spotify.

Nearly 1 million views an hour is pretty phenomenal. Since most of those views happened overnight, I wonder if it will get a lot more views during the day today.

Over 24 million views, 1.4 million likes, over 370,000 comments.

It could break the internet...

I keep telling my wife to limit her news intake. The fear over things we have no control over can drive you crazy.

The Rogan interview was great! Trump not only showed he's a pretty bright guy, but he is also a regular guy. When they were talking about fighters and dehydration being a factor in boxers dying I was loving it.

Steve Deace dissects the Rogan interview:

... Trump is arguably now the most famous living person in human history. And yet the largest platform in the country was still able to grant him the opportunity to counter so many misconceptions of who he actually is, what he actually thinks, and the resistance movement he represents. This interview alone won't erase nearly a decade of malevolent corporate journalism, but it's a D-Day invasion-level event.  ...

More epistemological damage was done to the Spirit of the Age threatening to destroy Western Civilization in this interview than what the combined efforts of the weak, anemic, and effeminate Christian Church that gave berth to Western Civilization in the first place has systemically attempted in a generation. And it was just two dudes who each have some confused and funky beliefs by the Biblical worldview standard just daring to pursue truth, common sense, and common good.  ...

The greatest example of this, IMO, was the conversation about environmentalism. Trump displayed an impressive command of the issue, and in this interview did more damage to a key cog of the Left's religion than I have ever seen done in one setting.  ...

   I think it was the best interview that I have ever seen Trump do, though he punted on a few issues (UFO). 
   It didn't move the needle for me. I still won't vote for him* and fortunately his supporters have even said 'They don't need my vote' for the last 9 years.

* I do hope that I will be eating crow in 2026.
