Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Republican vice presidential candidate, spent over three hours on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast—longer than President Trump, discussing a variety of political and non-political topics.
This from msn.com.
Vance and Rogan talked about censorship, foreign policy, illegal immigration, religion, and much more during the lengthy sit-down.
Here are five of the biggest takeaways:
Rogan and Vance compare politics and religion–
Vance started [the topic] by comparing liberal yard signs that begin ‘in this house, we believe‘ to the creed declared at Catholic mass.
Vance said:
There’s almost a similar cadence between the Christian creed and what these guys are doing with this hyper-woke stuff.
And then there’s the rallies, and then there’s, of course, the various rituals, and it absolutely is a religious faith.
Rogan agreed with the idea and brought it up at other times, saying it pops up in matters such as climate change and transgender ideology.
Rogan said:
A lot of this, you can call it a mind virus or whatever it is, but it does make people behave religiously.
So it’s like they’re ignoring all of these signs because it doesn’t line up with this ideology that they prescribe.
Vance said most Harris voters are good people–
Vance criticized much of Comrade Kamala’s campaign, having said:
[S]he would be dangerous on foreign policy, would likely involve the United States in new wars, and would not stem illegal immigration.
However, he also said:
[I]t’s important not to demonize her voters.
Further:
This is what really bothers me about what Biden said.
Most Americans who vote for Kamala Harris are fundamentally good people. I believe that.
And you’ve got to try to find the people who are reasonable and talk to them. That’s why I talk about the importance of regaining trust.
He was referring to Biden’s comments regarding Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, where Dementia Joe blasted a joke made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage,” arguing that the “only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”
The remark has become a controversy in the communist/globalist campaign’s final days.
Vance slammed Washington Post after non-endorsement–
Vance agreed with Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos that the press must regain the electorate’s trust. He said:
However, it won’t be done through the opinion pages.
The problem with the Washington Post is not that their editorial page has been insufficiently conservative.
It’s that their entire journalism department is fundamentally engaged in Democratic political activism.
Further:
[T]he paper has effectively become a propaganda outlet of the Democratic Party.
The paper did not endorse Harris after backing the Democratic candidate in every election for decades, leading to controversy both inside and outside the newsroom. Vance said he’d like to see Bezos move the paper in a more neutral, truth-seeking direction on the news side.
And:
If they don’t do that, to me, this is just window dressing.
Vance joked that Biden wants Trump to win–
Returning to the “garbage” comment controversy and some of Dementia Joe’s other gaffes, Vance wondered aloud [whether he] wants his former nemesis to win and joked that he’d like to hang out with first son Hunter Biden.
Vance said:
I would bet $100 that Hunter Biden is voting Donald Trump for president.
I might bet $20 on his dad voting for Donald Trump for president, especially after the garbage comment. That guy is trying to help Donald Trump.
Vance brought up the time Biden briefly donned a Trump MAGA hat, and Rogan agreed, speculating that:
Joe Biden is upset he was ousted from the race in a ‘coup’.
Vance outlined three issues he said elites don’t want discussed–
Vance has argued that Democratic politicians are trying to silence ordinary people and gave a few examples at the end of the episode.
He said:
There are three issues where you are not allowed to challenge the establishment:
– One is trade. You have to be pro-free trade. Everything is good. Let as many Chinese slave labor-made products into your country as possible even if it destroys native industries …
– Number two most important issue is immigration, and
– [T]he number three most important issue is foreign policy.
– – [P]eople such as former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, Liz Cheney, are still trying to rework the world in America’s image, a project [that] should have ended with the Iraq war, and
– – I think we should’ve learned [from] Iraq that we can’t turn every [country] into the United States of America, nor should we want to. But these guys can’t quite give up on it. It’s just a powerful psychological motivation.
