I have jumpstarted to watch the Joe Rogan Trump interview. He is still asking/setting up his first question (no actual question yet in sight, also, this is about 2016, very topical), and I got bored and came here to complain.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm probably not going to make it.
2hrs, 58 min

11 minutes in. Q2. About what it was like entering the WH after inauguration.
No idea why we are getting a tour of the Lincoln bedroom and a potted civil war history (hey, btw, that Robert E Lee guy was something, no? He must have won the war. I'm going by the discourse here, which is not on running for the Presidency in 2024, with 11 days to voting day).
14 minutes.
We have actually made it to q2, or a clarification of q2? Anyway, it's on appointing people.
Let's be generous, calling this q3. Let's see how long this takes. I am no longer surprised this ran for 3 hours. Rogan just lets Trump talk, and talk ...
19m19s
Still on the appointing q and T is expounding on how "dangerous" it would be to give business men those appointments.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😳🤯
20m 35s
He's complaining about the lack of corruption in congress people, with anecdote. He, of course, does not use the word corruption, he complains people were too "stiff".
You should really listen to that bit. His example predates his run for office. Trump has always been soliciting corrupt acts from officials, it would seem.
This interview is golden.
28m50s or so
They have been off topic and free-range rambling for a bit.
But, Trump's ramble just produced: "Some of these women, they're so stupid."
So, I'm here to tell on him about that.
29m31s
Rogan: "...and, it's only 9 years ago!"
32:48
They are talking about the edit of the Harris interview, and then the long version distributed out, as frayd, because apparently neither of them has any knowledge of media production.
Well, demonstrably they have no such knowledge, current interview presented as evidence.
34:53
Ah jeez! Now they are both straight up lying. Crime stats.
🤣🤣🤣 Joe says "unreported crime is way up". If its unreported, Joe, who's gathering those data?
42:29 I have to tap out. Still 2 hr+ on the clock.
45:14
It's a drug. I had to go back, and OMG!!!!! (5 exclamations in memory of my dad, who always did 5 in his journals, and he Liked exclamations 😁❤)
Trump just pronounce Kamala properly, over and over again. I wonder if he realises he is getting it right?
46:27
Advertising for Starlink. No, the podcast participants, not an interrupting ad.
48.29
Back to tariffs, economics, Trump's past record on, but actually incomprehensible word salad 'weave' and bs.
Covid > deficit. Fair. I'll give him that one.
53.33
Clearly Trump is anti-environment, anti-regulation, and doubles down on the anti-environmental regs, and Elon tells him regs for the space industry are ...salad.
54.39
Ye, so, based on his unasked-for anecdotes, every Trump construction project should be re-evaluated for violations of , well, everything that required a permit.
57.40
Did Trump just confuse Blinken with Kerry, or is he lost in time?
59.15-ish
Praising Xi Jingping, and dissing Newsome, neither of whom are running in the US Presidential election, which, btw, has barely been reference thus far.
1:01:00
Pure fabulation bs about CA water, which is a CA gov issue, not a US Pres issue.
1:03:51
Oh Jesus! He knows how to fix California's water issues, rank ignorance about Tulare lake, and we are back to raking forests. I ended a friendship over that one, back in the day.
1:06:30
Will cancel CA mandates on day 1. Finally, a policy statement. Not executable, but at least its relevant to the election (CA internal combustion engine sales ban as of 2035).
1:08:58
Trump loves oil. Drill, baby, drill. Not a quote, I'm suffering a traumatic flashback.
1:10:58
Some interesting points on the non-recyclable nature of wind turbines. I fact-checked and they are right, but falling out of date. Industry is working on turbine recycling.

1:13:50
Oh great. Now he's objecting to safety regulations for nuclear plant containment structures. Lovely.
1:17:00
Polls. Neither of them have any comprehension of math, statistics, ... but they speak with great assurance, so they have that going for them.
1:20:00
Ear scar coming up.
1:23:00
My mind wandered, but so are they, into vaccine conspiracies and election fraud/2020 denialism.
1:24:00-ush
Attacks on Kamala. Ad hominem, not her politics, and I paused as Joe veers into outright misogyny. I'm not surprised, are you surprised?
1:25:30-ish veering off into admiration of autocrats. Let's see if he remembers he started from saying Harris is weak, softball townhall q's (from A Cooper).
1:27:00 -1:31:24
Afghan withdrawal and hating on General Milley
'Til tomorrow.
