Joe Rogan says he knows the exact moment when Vice-President Kamala Harris unsettled former president Donald Trump in the presidential debate.
The podcaster also weighed in on how he thinks Harris is doing on the campaign trail — and applauded the woman and her team — particularly the “puppet master” responsible for her success so far.
“Whoever’s helping her, whoever’s coaching her, whoever’s the puppet master running the strings, you know, a f***ing amazing job,” he said while discussing the debate with comedian Tom Segura on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.
“Whatever they’re doing, whoever is writing those speeches, coaching her. She’s nailing it,” he lauded.
Rogan noted the moment a triggered Trump reacted to Harris baiting her Republican rival about his “boring” rallies and that “tired” people get up and leave while he is still speaking.
“He couldn’t help himself,” Rogan said, while mocking the former president’s own comments that he has “the best crowds.”

Rogan remarked that “the difference in that debate was not a difference in who’s going to have better policies, who’s going to be better for the country. The difference in the debate, in my opinion, was who was better prepared. She was way better prepared.”
Rogan and Segura went on to talk about how “hilarious” Trump is.
“The thing that he does, that he can do it better than anybody alive, he can riff. He’s funny, man,” Rogan said.
“He kills like a comedian,” the UFC commentator continued. “He’s funny like a comic. But we don’t necessarily want that as the guy with his finger on the button, that’s the thing that freaks people out.”
Rogan failed to give listeners a full-on endorsement of Harris and went on to commend Trump for his actions when he was in the White House.
“He wasn’t a dictator, he was the president,” he pointed out.
“The economy really did well, and he really did try to cut some of the bulls*** down that’s going on in this country.”
Rogan added: “And who knows what would’ve happened if he had four more years. Maybe we would have been economically better off.”
