Controversial podcaster Joe Rogan has predicted that Kamala Harris could defeat Donald Trump in the November presidential election.
“She’s going to win,” Rogan said on Tuesday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” featuring culture critic Michael Malice.
As the discussion of the presidential election and Harris’ chances continued, a stunned Mullis retorted, “No, she’s not.”
When Malice pressed him again, Logan narrowed it down, saying she had a chance of winning. “I’m not saying this because I think she’ll win, and I’m not saying this because I want her to win,” he said. “I’m just being honest.”
Logan said his hunch isn’t necessarily based on Harris’ likability, but rather Trump’s lack of it.
“I feel like we’re living in a very strange time where people are succumbing to bullshit in ways that I never would have imagined,” Logan argued. “They don’t want Trump, no matter what.”
Rogan suggested that either Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama could win the presidential election if either of them entered the race.
The July 13 assassination attempt on the former president was supposed to seal Trump’s victory, but the incident has since fallen into a “memory hole,” according to Logan.
Malice agreed, joining the ongoing conversation about political violence and dangerous rhetoric happening across the United States.
“After Trump got shot, corporate journalists would have had four years of telling us that hate speech causes violence,” he said.[Then] “I decided to take a break and that went on for about a week.”
Another aspect of this “memory suppression”, according to Maris, was the suppression of search results related to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, which had previously been reported by the Washington Post and others.
Rogan and Maris also pointed to differences in the way the media has covered Trump and Harris, and the influence that tech giants like Google have on public discourse.[Harris] “She was the most unpopular vice president in history, and then all of a sudden, she’s our solution. She’s our hero. If you Google anything negative about her, you won’t find anything.”
But Rogan said that for anyone who is still undecided about Donald Trump, “if you start Googling him and reading what’s been written about him and stuff, your perspective will change.”
“If I Google Donald Trump and Google brings up seven negative articles, that gives her a little bit of an edge. [Harris]Malice called it an effort to “undermine the advantage” in the 2024 election.
