Rogan was masterful at reining Trump back on topic when he "weaved" too widely and struck a great balance between being respectful and not too soft.
100%! I was impressed with how laidback JR was and how well he commanded that whole thing. I think Trump will win, too. Hope so anyway. I was talking with some fairly liberal-leaning friends over here and they were saying the same - it surprised me how wide-spread this image of Kamala as underprepared and the worse option is. Might be a long shot, but I really hope some good comes out of the RFK partnership as well.
How the interview was conducted was so refreshing! There's no doubt it was the death knell for traditional main stream media. Podcasts will become the main outlet politicians will use in future elections. It's becoming clear to more and more Americans that the democratic party has been compromised by big business (both parties are guilty of this) and possibly even foreign agents.
I believe that a vote for Harris would be a vote for that big, ugly war/pharma machine. I'm a lifelong democratic-leaning independent but I can't vote for the Dems anymore. It's become crystal clear that she is a talking head who just reads what the machine wants her to say from the teleprompters. That said, I still don't trust Trump 100% and feel his Achilles Heel is his immense ego but I like the team he's assembling (Kennedy, Gabbard, Musk)...a like them a whole lot. I think if he just listens to his team and lets them do their jobs it would make this country a whole lot better. Some of my past mistrust of him I've later learned was due to a coordinated misinformation campaign designed to discredit him. Maybe over time I will learn to trust him more. After all, every single politician has a closet full of skeletons (some have entire warehouses). Policies and the ability to lead are what makes the real difference.
Tensions are so high in America leading up to the election next week. If it's not won by a landslide, election results will take a while to tabulate and it will increase the odds of violence. If Harris does manage to win I'm truly afraid of what will happen in the cities. Transitionary times are very chaotic and we're definitely undergoing a massive paradigm shift right now.
