"You get brilliant people who aren't ideologically captured" - Joe Rogan explains how Donald Trump’s second term hinges on appointment picks

Joe Rogan endorsed Donald Trump as his presidential pick shortly before the U.S. elections were held on Nov. 5. Following the Republican party leader's victory in the elections, the podcast host has unpacked how the president-elect's second term as president will be determined by his cabinet appointments.

During a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), Rogan was joined by fellow comedian and political commentator Dave Smith. The pair reflected on the election campaign, and the result thereafter, with Trump being announced as the next president.

The podcast host said:

"Donald Trump as the messenger was so polarizing. People lost what's really going on just based on who this guy is... Donald Trump's entire career is, 'You're fired! You're a loser! Rosie O'Donnell's a loser!' That's his whole schtick. And you expect him to course-correct once he gets into office? No, that's not who he is. You elected that guy!"

Rogan continued:

"But along with that now you get [Robert F. Kennedy Jr.], you get Tulsi Gabbard, you get Elon Musk and you get JD Vance. You get brilliant people who aren't ideologically captured, two of them who used to be democrats, one of them that probably knows more about environmental polluting and about problems with pharmaceutical drug companies, and health and the conquences of all sorts of pesticides and herbicides and ingredients in your food that should be banned... And we've got a real chance to make a real change."

Joe Rogan says Elon Musk knew that Donald Trump won the election 4 hours before it was announced

Elon Musk is one of the world's leading innovators in technological fields, but Joe Rogan's latest claim about the Tesla-founder has caused a stir online. According to the JRE host, Musk knew that Donald Trump had won the election roughly four hours before the official result was announced.

During a recent episode of the JRE with comedian and regular guest Theo Von, Rogan discussed what his friend, UFC CEO Dana White told him, and said:

"Apparently Elon created an app and he knew who won four hours before the results. So as the results were coming in, four hours before they called it, Dana White told me Elon was like 'I'm leaving. It's over. Donald won.' He just f***ing somehow or another. It's like, I don't know where he's pulling his data from but he had like the most accurate data."
