It’s just that kind of monologue, stand-up stuff. It is funny seeing all the different times Trump called people fat, though,” Rogan said, adding, “That is f*cking hilarious.” “But you know, Trump supporters are f*cking nuts, man. They’re rabid. He represents something other than just a person to them,” Rogan added. Rogan famously sat down with Trump during the 2024 campaign, but did not end up doing an interview with his opponent Kamala Harris. Trump’s inroads with the so-called podcaster “manosphere” were widely (https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-joe-rogan-adin-ross-b2642756.html) credited with helping Trump reach young men and running up his margin over Harris. “Oh, it’s a Christ,” White agreed. “Yeah. Well, he represents something, some, a leader that they wish they had, you know?” (https://www.mediaite.com/tag/joe-rogan/) Rogan continued. “Yeah,” White agreed. “Which is a real problem in our society in general with leaders. We look to them as if there’s something different than every other person that’s ever been a leader before. Like, this is the one. This is the one that’s going to save us,” Rogan argued. “Right. And you know what? Some people are hopeless, and there’s anybody that says, well, I’ll give you hope,” White replied, adding: And then, you know, what are you going to do? You know, if you’re going to… I’ve told people, I’ve said this more than once, that in back when, that if you really want to improve your lot in life and you don’t really have anything, you don’t really have an education, you should be Bernie f*cking Sanders, you know, who’s your guy. Because he wants to get the minimum wage up. You think somebody’s going to come in and hand you a bunch of loot. That’s never going to happen.  Watch the clip above.
