In the latest episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, the comedian and UFC commentator told his guest, cultural commentator Michael Malice, that Harris will take the polls.

“She’s gonna win,” said Rogan, much to the dismay of Malice.

“No she’s not,” Malice retorted during the back-and-forth political banter over the election.

Still not believing it, Malice asked Rogan again who was going to win the election, Rogan said: “I’m not saying because I think she’s going to, and I’m not saying because I want her to. I’m just being honest.”

The podcast host said his political hunch isn’t based on the likability of the American vice president, but rather on the lack of likability around Trump.

“I feel like we are in this very bizarre time where people are giving in to the bulls*** in a way that I never suspected people would before,” said Rogan, per New York Post. “They just want no Trump, no matter what.”

If others such as Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama threw their hats in the election ring, they could win as well, he predicted.

Rogan said the assassination attempt on Trump should’ve sealed the deal for the former president, but said the incident has since been “memory-holed.” Malice agreed, citing ongoing dialogue on political violence and dangerous rhetoric in the U.S.

Malice said one would think that Trump getting shot “would have had four years of corporate journalists talking about hate speech causing violence.”

“(Then) to be like, ‘Let’s take a step back,’ and that went for, what, a week?” Malice said, claiming the suppression of search results of the assassination attempt is another example of memory-holing.

Malice and Rogan talked about how Harris and Trump are portrayed in the media, noting how much influence companies like Google have on public conversation. Rogan described Harris as the “least popular vice-president of all time” and then all of a sudden she has become “our hero.”

“Try Googling a negative story on her. You won’t find one,” said Rogan.

Rogan said if anyone tried to Google stories about Trump they’ll notice it will give you “seven negative stories,” which would nudge the “needle a little bit toward” Harris, which Malice said it was an effort to “tip the scale” in this year’s presidential race.
