Okay, so, this guy is not everyone's proverbial cup of tea. But, it is useful to study the guy if you wish to genuinely be able to counter his talking points.
The best thing about Joe Rogan, for me, is that, he has a real ongoing dialogue in his interviews, unlike mainstream media clips which, unless specifically live broadcast, are just cobbled together footage, edits, re-edits and clippings all put together to form a final polished piece. But when doing this, you lose the real narrative, the unsaid words, the lack of clarity in a persons mind that makes you yourself a viewer question what is being said.
The key to mainstream media hypnosis is making what is said seem irrefutable and too smooth to be questioned, essentially. If there are no glitches, it all seems very professional & gullible people simply buy into what is being said without questioning everything that is being said. Professional doesn't equal truth. Professional lying is a thing.

Yeah, he's good. I've listened to a bunch of his podcasts in years past. Occasionally.

Haha.
You seem very intelligent/knowledgeable & well read. If you could translate that into verbal speech you would actually be rather formidable.
I'm not American and I don't follow any of the politics so I'm not weighing in on that, although I love the way he expresses himself. I love his eye contact, his manner, his breadth of knowledge, and the way he calls BS on ... BS.
I'm pretty sure he could get me to speak quite a bit. Perhaps it would be in a foreign tongue, though.

Oh, okay.
Ahh, yes. I often bridge between the NT world & the Autistic world really, I can be very detached emotionally, but when I put my foot down on the proverbial pedal of emotions, I feel like a formula one race car. There isn't anything really in between those two modes.

I'm set in my values as well. As you may have noticed I don't waver very much in anything that I believe or feel, and I can be quite dogged in defending my POV. That's not to say I follow American politics though - apart from my fundamental beliefs which are "live and let live" / "love and let love". All the rest is chicken scratch imo.

I am the same as you, in this respect.
I don't follow American politics much either, but I do check it out occasionally.
