‘You’re Not A Kamala Person, I Know You’: Trump Makes His Case To Joe Rogan On Why He’s A Better Candidate Than Harris

Former President Donald Trump made his case to major podcaster Joe Rogan and his listeners why he is the superior 2024 presidential nominee Friday in a highly-anticipated episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

As the two filmed their three-hour unscripted discussion in Austin, Trump spoke about launching the U.S. Space Force during his first term before he highlighted billionaire Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Starlink endeavors. Trump noted Musk proudly endorsed him and urged Rogan — who he said is “not a Kamala person” — to do the same.

“He gave me the nicest endorsement too. Tough. He said, ‘The country’s gonna fail.’ You should do the same thing, Joe, because you cannot be voting for Kamala,” Trump said as Rogan broke out into laughter.

“Kamala! You’re not a Kamala person,” he told Rogan. “I know you. I’ve watched you! I know him better than he — you know what? Without speaking to you, I think I know you maybe almost as well as your wife.”

Trump claimed to Rogan he watched the podcaster for years before expounding on Musk’s Starlink, his own economic leadership and the tax cuts during his first term as president.

The GOP nominee was then pressed on Harris’s comparing him to Adolf Hitler, prompting Trump to blast his opponent and the Democratic Party for their escalatory rhetoric. He also suggested Harris should take a cognitive test. (RELATED: ‘You Said A Lot Of Wild Sh*t’: Joe Rogan Explains Trump’s Unique Path To The Presidency)

“She has a very low IQ,” Trump told Rogan. “I think Kamala should have a test because there’s something missing. There’s something wrong.”

Rogan emphasized the importance of timing when it came to booking an interview with Trump, identifying the moment the GOP nominee was nearly assassinated on July 13 at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally as when he knew he had to do it.

“Once they shot you, I was like, ‘He’s got to come in here. It’s all about timing,” Rogan remarked, sitting across from Trump 11 days before Election Day.

“The timing is good,” Trump responded.

“The timing is perfect,” the podcaster added.

Trump said Harris would be “laying on the floor comatose” if she did Rogan’s show, but the podcaster suggested the vice president may appear before Election Day.

“Could you imagine Kamala doing this show?” Trump asked.

“I could imagine her doing this show,” Rogan interjected, telling Trump he will continue to try to book Harris and would talk to her like a real person.

Harris backed out of an interview with Rogan on Thursday due to a scheduling conflict, Harris campaign spokesperson Ian Sams told MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes.

The Democratic nominee visited Texas on Friday, the same day as Trump. Harris held a rally with pop icon Beyoncé — who had previously been rumored to be appearing at the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago.

At a late Friday rally in Michigan, Trump blasted Harris for putting on a star-studded show at the same time Israel was launching a strike on Iran in retaliation for Iran’s Oct. 1 missle attack.

“The Middle East is like a tinderbox: it’s ready to explode, people being killed at levels that we’ve never seen before. And that’s taking place right now,” Trump said.

“Nobody is in charge; Joe Biden is asleep. Kamala is at a dance party with Beyoncé,” the Republican nominee stated as rally-goers erupted with boos.
