- The Joe Rogan experience.
- There's some weird thing about human beings
where they gravitate towards a big leader,
but towards someone who claims they have the answers
and seems very confident and can speak reasonably well.
There's almost like a cheat code
where people just like, they get locked into that.
- It feels like order.
It just feels like order.
If you go, if somebody says, I know,
and they're tall, first of all, if they're tall,
that gets you like 60% of the way there.
- That helps.
- If they're tall and says, I know what we should do, huh?
- Good looking.
- Charismatic, good looking, fit,
attractive to women, like that'll,
it just makes you feel like a daddy's here.
Some daddy's here, a different daddy.
It's like, oh, all right.
That's what people like about Trump.
That's what people like about Obama.
I think most presidents are some form of that.
- Yeah.
- What, Reagan?
- Yeah.
- Certainly two termers.
George W. Bush in a weird way.
Form of, you know what I mean?
Like a sort of, he, George Bush, George W. Bush,
guy walked like he had a fucking two foot cock.
Guy walked like he had to leave room for two dicks.
- That's how wide his gait was.
And he said he used to practice it.
- He practiced his gait?
- George W. Bush used to practice his gait.
- Come on, really?
- You look it up, yeah.
He'd be talking about it in interviews.
- Can you imagine walking around your house,
practicing your impressive walk?
Yeah, well that, can you imagine anyone more than him doing it?
It's like the exact guy that would do that.
Like, I'm gonna practice walk.
Yeah.
- Bush's renewed confidence, this is 2005.
Some folks look at me and see a certain swagger,
which in Texas is called walking.
That's how President Bush described himself
during his acceptance speech
at last year's Republican National Convention
in New York City.
But for much of this year,
the president seemed to have lost the, okay.
That's just.
- Yeah, but do you,
I've seen other interviews where he talked about like.
- Talked about actually practicing his walk.
- Yeah.
- Well, they were originally from Maine.
You know, they're like kind of fake Texas.
- Come on, Joe.
- Yeah, they were from,
- No, I know, they're like,
they couldn't be more blue blood.
- Yeah.
- His dad, George Bush Sr. was head of the CIA.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Which is weird now.
I wonder if that would help him now, politically.
I was the head of the CIA.
- Didn't hurt him then.
- Didn't hurt him, but only one term.
- Yeah, but that was because of,
what's his face?
- Perot, yeah.
- Yeah, Ross Perot.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I'll tell you what's going on.
- Fucking guy's great.
- That guy, he fucking threw the whole thing
out the window.
Like, when he bought television time,
like prime time television time,
he was like, "I'll just buy it a whole hour,"
and gave the networks money
so that he could run his speech
and talk about how you're getting fucked by the IRS.
People at home were like,
"What the fuck?"
It literally was like one of the very first internet speeches.
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Yeah.
- He made himself go viral,
and he appealed to people
people that were not,
there's like a whole part of the country
that's not spoken to by,
I mean, mass media.
You can call it liberal media.
I don't even think,
I think there's like a level
that they just, people just don't wanna talk to 'em.
It's like people that aren't especially rich
or sophisticated or any of the stuff
that people think is great,
and they wanna, that advertisers wanna appeal to.
They just, and then Ross Prove's like, "Look here."
- Yeah.
- And it's like a beacon for people.
It's like a siren song.
People are like, "What? What's that?"
This guy, and that, by the way, a billionaire.
- And it's not about, people think it's about,
he didn't seem like a billionaire.
That's the, that was his like,
that's Trump's appeal too.
Like he doesn't seem like a rich guy.
- Seems like a regular guy.
- That's funny, like Dr. Oz lost.
- How?
- 'Cause he seemed, he seemed like a liberal.
Fetterman seemed like a conservative.
He, by, 'cause I think so much of it is just looks.
You can speak to this yourself.
People are against you 'cause you're fit.
There are people that are like fucking meathead.
I'm like, he's not a meathead.
Fucking yeah, he is.
It's 'cause you look, you just are, you're,
people wouldn't believe that you and I are friends.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, we're like a, it's like when a turtle hangs out
with a fucking Python.
The turtles would ride in the top of a Python.
People go like, how are they?
It's like, we're, we're unexpected animal friends.
The, so I just think it's so much of it is looks.
So much.
- A lot of it is, right?
- Way more than people would admit.
- Anybody that saw the Fetterman debate would go,
oh, this guy needs help.
- Couldn't watch, I literally couldn't watch it.
I knew like that's gonna, it would,
it feels cruel or something.
- Yeah, it is cruel.
It's cruel to put a guy in a position like that
who's recovering from a stroke.
You're not supposed to be into that kind of stress.
