00:00:00
I wanted to do Joe Rogan show and there
00:00:03
was a lot of games being played. I think
00:00:05
podcasting is a very
00:00:09
powerful medium for people to get
00:00:13
information. A lot of people that is a
00:00:16
main source of information and it's
00:00:18
important for us to support that.
00:00:20
Joe says you wanted he wanted him to
00:00:21
come to you which is very unlolike in
00:00:24
terms of he doesn't really travel. Do
00:00:26
you wish you'd gone and done the show
00:00:28
for three hours at his studio?
00:00:30
A lot of people advised me not to do a
00:00:31
show because they assumed, as it turned
00:00:34
out to be correct, that he was
00:00:35
supporting Trump and that it would not
00:00:37
be a productive piece for me. But just
00:00:40
like when I went on Fox News with Brett
00:00:42
Bearer, my perspective was they may have
00:00:45
their bias, but there are people that
00:00:47
listen who are open-minded, and I'm
00:00:50
going to go there and give them a chance
00:00:51
to get to know me and give me a chance
00:00:53
to make my case to them. There was a lot
00:00:55
of games being played around the
00:00:57
scheduling and it didn't happen. I don't
00:00:59
have anything against the people who
00:01:01
turn on to Joe Rogan and would love to
00:01:03
be able to talk with him in a direct
00:01:04
manner as I wanted to during the
00:01:06
campaign.
00:01:06
Do you in hindsight wish you just put
00:01:08
your foot down and said I'm going to go
00:01:09
do it?
00:01:10
I don't know if it would have made a
00:01:11
difference. The issue it was really
00:01:13
about what's the tradeoff in terms of
00:01:15
votes and where I spend my time. Do I
00:01:17
spend my time traveling for 5 hours and
00:01:19
back versus being for that period of
00:01:21
time in a swing state? And that was the
00:01:24
trade-off. It wasn't about I don't want
00:01:26
to do Joe Rogan. Believe me, at that
00:01:28
point in a campaign, it's not about oh,
00:01:30
is somebody coming to me or me going to
00:01:31
them? I could care less about that.
00:01:33
Pride is not associated with it. It is
00:01:35
literally about return on investment.
