"The great and powerful @elonmusk . If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear..."

"... and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast."

Writes the great and powerful Joe Rogan on X.

Full interview:

The things I miss when I go to sleep at 7:45.

I'm listening now and will add some quotes as I go.

ADDED: Here's what Trump said about that, at his final rally, after midnight, in Grand Rapids. Go to 1:35:58:
"You know I did a thing a couple of weeks ago with a very smart guy and a very special talent. He's got the number one podcast they say by like four times. Joe Rogan.... And I said Joe I got a rally of this size waiting for me in a very far away place. I'm going to be very late, like 2 and 1 half hours late, but we kept talking. It went 3 hours and 15 minutes or something, then when I got up there, it was cold little bitter, and everybody waited nobody left, and I explained to him, look, Joe is the number one guy he kept me late but I'm doing it because we have to win, and not one person was unhappy. We had a great time, and I said we're going to devote a lot more time. It was pretty late at night. It was worse than this, okay, I can tell you. But Joe Rogan just announced and he doesn't do this at all I don't think he's ever done it but he just announced that he's giving me his complete and total 1:37:07 endorsement.... Wow. Wow...."

"It was worse than this" = later at night.

If you're a liberal Democrat, a progressive, I hope when you go to the polls today that you remember that only one candidate is recommended by Dick Cheney and that's Kamala Harris.

More wars for oil!

Yes you miss the night stuff but only for a few hours, then have a peaceful time to contemplate without the yahoos…

Too Big To Rig!

I hope you're right, for the sake of everyone.

When you go to the voting booth today, remember that serial killers almost always start by killing animals.

P'Nut will be watching you from squirrel heaven.

It seems that Ann, like me, doesn't gobble down the full extra hour gift we got on Sunday in one bite, but rather eases the daily schedule by 10-15 minutes, and makes it last to Wednesday.

The Rogan endorsement is sweet, but I wish it had come a week earlier. We shall see today if his demographic, the male 18-35 intelligent working class, completely surrenders their political power, and their future.

Out to breakfast at the diner yesterday, and encountered a black guy wearing.a Trump hat. “Does anybody give you any guff for that?” I asked him. “No, what the hell are they gonna do to me?” he answered. We shook hands. God, help us in our hour of need.

The drive will be bad this morning with a big front moving through. Nice for Joe and Ann to provide me good entertainment during the drive.

Elon sways…

Musk is probably correct about the last opportunity to stop the US from a one party system but it’s too late for a citizen accountable Democrat party and I suspect if Trump is elected it will be too late to stop the illegals from being counted in the census. So the House is lost and whatever constitutes the opposition party, like that old turtle in the Senate and Miss Lindsey, you think they're gonna go along with anything but spending trillions on Democrat projects?

If Musk is involved in DOGE, I think the House and Senate will be shamed back into conducting budget work in 12 bills again.

Maybe I missed it, but did Ann announce how she voted?

Temujin said...

7:45? I thought I was going to bed early.
The Musk interview was pretty interesting. Particularly the section where they're talking about the design to infiltrate the swing states with enough illegal immigrants (which they have succeeded in doing), literally flying them into the states, in order to turn those swing states blue. And once that's done, the US becomes like California- a one party supermajority ruled country. No more US.

It is a compelling argument, based on the government's own numbers of immigrants and where they were shipped to. Right now, in CA it's illegal to even show an ID while voting- in ANY election. There is only one reason for doing that. Remove any swing states and turn them blue, you can turn the entire thing forever.

It is reason enough to vote these people away from power for a couple of generations, I say.

AMDG said...

There are no compelling cases to be made for these candidates. The only compelling cases that can be made are against both candidates.

Iman said...

If you haven’t yet voted, do so now as if the lives of you, your family and friends depended on it. Because it does.

I told my sibs and mom on the family Zoom two weeks ago that Musk and Rogan would be the deciding factors in this election. I hope I’m right.

RCOCEAN II said...

I'm a trump supporter and I hope everyone remembers that Dick Cheney supports Kamala, too. That's what we'll get we Kamala, war in Ukraine, war in gaza, war in Iran, war, war, war.

RCOCEAN II said...

The me agree with Rogan. Elon Musk is the savior of free speech in the country. Because he controls Twitter, and not Paul SInger and his stooges, the Democrats couldn't pull another "Hunter laptop is Russian Disinformation" stunt like they did in 2020.

And if they steal the election, they wont be able to Shout "Shut it down" when people start giving the US public the facts on twitter.

Rusty said...

No. More wars for the enormous amount of graft we'll collect. Suckers.

Rusty said...

Dave. Seriously. Do we really care?

Bob Boyd said...

Welcome to the party, pal.
I'm glad Rogan endorsed Trump, but it's not much good to wait until the day before the election after most people have already voted and fewer voters will hear about it.
The Trump interview was the biggest thing. And the interviews of Team Trump - Elon, Vance, RFK Jr, Tucker Carlson, Tulsi, etc.
Those interviews created, or at least added on to, a permission structure, (I learned that cool term on Althouse Blog. Highly recommend.) but again, Rogan was late to the game.

Bob Boyd said...

She strongly hinted that she didn't vote for Kamala.

Wa St Blogger said...

Maybe I missed it, but did Ann announce how she voted?

Althouse has always been cagy about her votes, and, as far as I can remember, she never reveals anything prior to the election. Probably does not want her platform to influence anyone else's vote directly.
