Podcaster extraordinaire Joe Rogan explained why he has come around to liking President-elect Donald J. Trump and now admires his style of taking on the corrupt system.
After initial hesitation in inviting Trump to appear on his popular podcast, Rogan sat down with him days before the election for one of his signature extended three-hour interviews, allowing the then-GOP nominee to make his case to tens of millions of listeners.
Rogan’s interview likely allowed many to hear the real Trump for the first time instead of the false caricature that has been created by Democrats and the media.
On the latest edition of his Spotify podcast, Rogan elaborated on why he decided to endorse the soon-to-be 47th president.
NEW: Joe Rogan says he has grown to like Trump, says Trump made him realize that sometimes it takes someone “completely crazy” to expose the system.
“You’re getting what you get, that’s who the guy is… I’ve grown to like him.”

“The quote about Trump or the narrative about Trump has always been that he’s bullsh*tting everybody, that he’s a con man,” Rogan began. “He’s definitely very persuasive. You know, Scott Adams has wrote about this pretty much in depth about how well Trump practices the art of persuasion… you know the art of the deal,” referring to the Dilbert creator.
“He’s great at making people his friend and making relationships and if you’re his enemy, ‘f*ck you’ scorched earth You know, it’s like this and there’s fear of that, you don’t want to get on his bad side,” he continued. “There’s all this like there’s this art of like how he negotiates and he’s gone through this years and years and years of business But but that’s him. That’s the guy’s right there. You could talk to him about everything and anything.”
“He’s right there He’s not protecting any of his ideas. He called a girl. He’s allegedly slept with ‘horse face’ as the president, on Twitter It’s the wildest sh*t,” Rogan said. “So you’re getting what you get. That’s who the guy is and you love I like him I’ve gone I’ve grown to like him,” adding that he used to have a “much more negative opinion” of Trump.
“But as time went on I was like, oh you need a guy that is completely crazy to expose how corrupt the whole system is and how they all collude together and how they all they all say this, there’s all these montages of clips of news organizations saying the same narrative outright over and over verbatim word by word they’re getting fed this by someone some entity some they’re somehow or another they’re collaborating and they’re all choosing this very specific narrative and they’re running with it and they’re trying to destroy people with it,” he explained.
Rogan also noted how the same coordinated fake narrative was used to smear him over COVID and vaccines, “..it was all motivated by the pharmaceutical drug companies and the profits and they were terrified that someone’s gonna come along and somehow another put a notch in this little thing that they’ve created Which is a devious little thing that they’ve done where they eliminated all sorts of other remedies.”
“They cut out all these generic drugs that possibly could have been used to help people. They denied people the use of monoclonal antibodies. They push the f*cking sh*t out of this one thing so they can make money off of it and they did it in collusion with the media, no one acted like a journalist,” he continued. “No one looked at the excess deaths No one looked at the instances of myocarditis and young people. No one looked at any of that. There was no journalism.”
“It just showed everyone that the whole system is bought and paid for, it’s all corrupt, and the only way you could find out who a person really is is to listen to them talk for long periods of time,” Rogan said of Trump.
The host also expressed his feelings about Barack Obama and how his opinion of him has also changed after the former president repeated the “very fine people” hoax while campaigning for Kamala Harris.
NEW: Joe Rogan says his opinion on Barack Obama has changed since his involvement in the Harris campaign.
“Obama during the Kamala Harris campaign really changed my opinion of him. I used to have a high opinion of him as an intelligent person.”

“I felt like he’s probably caught up in the system, it’s very difficult to make real meaningful change…,” Rogan said. “But watching him just straight up lie about Trump”
“The thing that got me was that ‘very fine people,’ thing, the white supremacist thing, they just kept trying to say that he was a racist which is this thing that I think worked back in 2017,” he said. “I don’t think it works anymore, I don’t think people believe it anymore….”
In yet another of the bad decisions that marked the final stages of her doomed campaign, Harris didn’t sit down with Rogan, who balked at the list of conditions that her campaign demanded be made for her to appear.
