Two historic peace treaties now in the Middle East. Too bad then we didn't have some of that craziness before! :oldthumbsup:

A preposterous notion. Who would watch 2 old dudes debate for 4 hrs.? NO ONE. Maybe that's why Trump agreed to it. He doesn't want anyone to hear his lies, insufferable braggadocio, and empty promises.

Me. I just watched Biden's "Hispanic Heritage Event" Let me tell you... nothing could be more boring. Someone did clap at some point tho. That was exciting.

I had never really watched Joe’s podcast before so after selectively listening to his views on each candidate he seems to be unbiased. Which is good thing to have as a debate moderator.

This is about Iran. The mutual distrust of Iran is greater than the dislike for the Jews. 'The enemy of my enemy'.

Well if you want to be an informed voter, you might try sitting down and getting bored by who ever is running. Might be kinda important once you start checking them boxes.

Whether people like Rogan or not, in terms of exposure to a political forum, it makes sense.

Rogan is a guy who is knowledgeable on certain issues, and does have a fairly moderate "political profile" when considering the full spectrum of political issues.

He can't be considered "too far left" or "too far right", he has a huge audience, and is friends with a rather eclectic group of people.

If someone is out to dinner with this group, then it's safe to say they're not playing favorites in terms of political partisanship and don't hold any particular political grudges.

bglglpdqeqbw4ms7me10.jpg


At the table, Jordan Peterson, Eric Weinstein, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Rogan, and Sam Harris.
(the "Intellectual Dark Web" as they're called...only people missing are Michael Shermer and Christina Sommers)

"The Left" and "right" are both represented at that table.

Rogan gets along well with all of them obviously...

He doesn't play the "PC" game, he won't stand for "appeal to religion" or "appeal to tradition" fallacies. I can seem him asking tough questions to both candidates rather than the canned questions they normally get during town halls and debates.


If you ask me, Rogan is a better guy to moderate a debate between a liberal and conservative than having some partisan hack from CNN or Fox do it.
(as long as he doesn't drift off too much into trying to get them to do DMT or practice jiu jitsu lol)

Absolutely agree. Well said.

So how big is this guy’s audience?

190 million downloads per month by the latest stats... (and that doesn't include the Youtube views per month)

Spotify just signed his podcast to a $100 million deal.

He's had a wide variety of guests on...everyone from Bernie Sanders, to Andrew Yang, to Alex Jones, to Ben Shapiro, to Elon Musk, to the leader of the Proud Boys, to Sam Harris, to Edward Snowden, to Darrel Dawkins, etc...

He's had people from all over the spectrum.

OK. Basically a radio show. OK.

OK. Basically a radio show. OK.

Except many radio shows (in the political sphere) have a lopsided bias in one direction or the other...nor do most radio shows get that many listeners per month.

He's had a pretty eclectic group of guests, and managed to have interesting conversations with all of them.

Like I noted in the previous post:
Bernie Sanders, to Andrew Yang, to Alex Jones, to Ben Shapiro, to Elon Musk, to the leader of the Proud Boys, to Sam Harris, to Milo, to Cenk Uygur, to Edward Snowden, to Darrel Dawkins, etc...

And that's just scratching the surface...

I can honestly say, the guy can have an interesting conversation with anyone (and challenge them on their own views in most cases)

If you can find another person who's been able to have a productive conversation with that wide array of guests, I'd be interested to hear their show lol.

One could make a case that between his podcast partial views/listens, downloads, and his youtube channel, he gets more traffic than many of the mainstream media outlets.

I'm more interested in seeing it for the fact that he'd be asking him unscripted questions, and we can see how quickly either of them can think on their feet.

It wouldn't be a CNN anchor asking Joe: "How has Trump hurt this country and what do you think you can do to heal the division"

...and it wouldn't be a Fox anchor asking Trump: "How do you plan on dealing with the chaos that Antifa is creating in our major cities"
(with each of them giving their rehearsed bumper-sticker responses)

I'd go out on a limb and say that a Rogan moderated debate on his podcast would draw more viewers/listeners, and be more substantive, than any mainstream media sponsored presidential debate we've seen in the last 25 years.

After 4 years of this President, the nation has experienced enough "drama" to last a lifetime - it will be refreshing to have ,a "boring," competent Commander-in-Chief who doesn't demand to be the center of attention by turning the White House into a "soap opera!"

Good luck with that. You still have to get Biden to win.

Sure these things are a major development! How can you say they're not. If Arab nations keep siding in with recognizing Israel's existence it leads to much peace. Saudi Arabia might be next.
