Joe Rogan interviewed former President Donald Trump on Friday.
As we reported, Kamala Harris' people said that they couldn't do it because of "scheduling." Bad move, given they're having trouble with male voters. Harris instead did an interview with someone who doesn't have anywhere near the reach of Rogan. But "scheduling," they said.
Now, there was a report that she decided not to do it because Trump agreed to no limits and Kamala wouldn't.
But Rogan and Trump gave a fun preview.
It was three hours of just conversation — no way that Kamala could have done it, given her limitations. It was an easy, very relaxed, flowing exchange.
It covered a wide range of topics, starting with how much the media has changed and influenced things against Trump, how he used to be loved by people like the hosts on "The View" and Oprah Winfrey back before he ran for president. They spoke about this:
Then, "the Machine" came into effect, Rogan said.
Yet despite the attacks by the media and the effort even before he took office to get him, Americans appreciated him, Rogan said, because here was someone who didn't talk like a politician.
Trump spoke about how one mistake he made in his first administration was that some of the people he appointed were the wrong people and how he's learned from that. Harris has been asked that question and hasn't been able to answer it. He spoke about how John Bolton was a bad pick but that, in one way, he was helpful, implying he could get other countries who were concerned about Bolton to back down from bad actions — a clever use of him.
Rogan spoke about how he would still like to have Harris on the show. Trump said that she'd be a mess all over the floor, making Rogan laugh.
They spoke about how she'd taken some of his policies, Trump joked he was going to get her a MAGA hat, and how she's flip-flopped on so much.
They covered the MAGA-MAHA alliance, and Trump confirmed that Robert F. Kennedy Jr would be a part of his administration concentrating on health.
They went into how crazy the "liberals" have gotten about wanting to control things and suppress speech, that it was the Republicans who were the "rebels" now.
Rogan spoke about the media acting as a propaganda arm for the Democratic Party as they discussed how the media spreads hoaxes against Trump.
Rogan explained this was killing MSM's credibility.
They even addressed some of the dangers of alternative energy, including the questions of how windmills were adversely affecting whales, and Trump joked about how he wanted to be a whale psychiatrist. That has memes already all over the place.

Not exactly a Hitlerian ambition to save the whales.
One of the funniest parts was him talking about being shot in the ear as he showed Rogan the scar and mentioned UFC fighter Bo Nickal.
"It makes me a tougher guy," Trump laughed. They mentioned how Nickal would be fighting in November after the election. "So I'll either go as president," Trump joked. "Or I'll be depressed."
