Donald Trump Pesters Joe Rogan for Endorsement On Podcast

Donald Trump to Joe Rogan
Pledge Me Your Endorsement … NOW!!!
Podcaster Doesn’t Bite in the Moment

Donald Trump made his highly anticipated debut on the “The Joe Rogan Experience” Friday night … and it sure seemed like 45 was not leaving without a public endorsement — that very moment!

DT sat for a nearly 3-hour interview with Joe Rogan … their conversation touched on several topics … but one moment that really stood out was Trump requesting — practically demanding — Joe’s seal of approval for re-election.

Trump flaunted his “nicest endorsement” from Elon Musk … before he told Rogan … “You should do the same thing, Joe.”

A relentless 45 told JR there was no way he could be a Kamala Harris supporter … at one point joking … “You’re a Khabib [Nurmagomedov] person, but you’re not a Kamala person” … which got a legit laugh out of Joe, with KN being a UFC superstar.

Despite the pestering … Rogan never agreed he’d endorse Trump — at least at the moment — and he, obviously, didn’t deny he would later.

Of course … the two are not strangers … Trump and Joe run into one another when DT goes to UFC fights … which he’s done several times over the years.

With only a little more than a week before the election … Joe still has some time to see if Trump’s offer was one he can’t refuse.

Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell asked Vice President Kamala Harris in a rare joint statement to tone down her rhetoric in the lead-up to Election Day, days after Harris said she considered Donald Trump a fascist.
The two top Republicans accused Harris of fanning “the flames beneath a boiling cauldron of political animus” and said her words in recent days “seem to dare it to boil over.”
“She must abandon the base and irresponsible rhetoric that endangers both American lives and institutions,” Johnson and McConnell said in their statement…

Elon Musk Halts Pro-Trump Sweepstakes After DOJ Warning

Elon Musk-backed pro-Trump group, America PAC, paused its highly questionable $1 million-a-day sweepstakes after a DOJ warning that the contest could be illegal. The lottery, targeting registered voters in swing states, had been giving away cash prizes each day since the announcement of the contest last Saturday, posting the winners across social media.

The Lottery Has Drawn Criticism Since Its Inception

Election law experts were quick to express concerns over the sweepstakes. Federal law prohibits offering prizes or other items of value connected to voting or registration to prevent undue influence on election outcomes. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said that the sweepstakes were highly concerning and could be interpreted as attempted bribery.

There are real questions about how he is spending money in this race, how the dark money is flowing, not just into Pennsylvania but now into the pockets of Pennsylvanians.

Experts argue the sweepstakes could easily be framed as vote-buying, especially given its focus on battleground states. While Musk reframed the cash prizes as “job payments” for participants to act as “spokespersons for America PAC,” many remain skeptical. Former DOJ official David Becker argues that altering language does not address the potential violation if the underlying intent remains the same.

Responding to critics on social media, Musk argued that the sweepstakes did not discriminate against participants based on their political affiliation. However, critics noted that Musk’s outspoken support of Trump and the sweepstakes exclusively targeting swing states seemed intended to sway election results during a critical period in the election race.

Musk Remains a Staunch Supporter of Trump

Despite Musk’s assurances, the DOJ reportedly sent an official letter to America PAC, warning that the sweepstakes could be violating election law. This official response is probably why the lottery stopped publicly announcing winners from Wednesday onwards. According to CNN, the DOJ has refused to offer an official comment on this matter.

The controversy follows Musk’s increasingly vocal support for former President Trump, including giving more than $75 million to America PAC. Musk’s first appearance in Trump’s campaign rallies and his promotion of debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 election have fired up speculation regarding his political game plan ahead of the 2024 elections. 

The DOJ’s involvement underlines the sensitivity surrounding election interference. In this respect, America PAC’s sweepstakes might be subject to unprecedented legal scrutiny, given its controversial actions. Meanwhile, the battle between Trump and Harris rages on, with each of them trying to seize any advantage they can get.

Millions evacuate prior to Hurricane Milton making landfall in Florida

Millions evacuate prior to Hurricane Milton making landfall in Florida

Millions of Florida residents have fled the US state as Hurricane Milton approaches, with officials there warning that those who stayed would “die” and that single-story homes would turn into “a coffin”.

“We are a few hours away from an epic catastrophe,” Tampa Congresswoman Kathy Castor told CNN. The Tampa metropolitan area, home to more than 3 million people, is directly in the hurricane’s path, as is a vast swath of Florida’s western coast.

Forecasters have described the hurricane, which is expected to make landfall either Wednesday night or the early hours of Thursday, in apocalyptic terms, warning it would be the “storm of the century”. The words emphasised the power of Milton in a state that is no stranger to hurricanes, having already been battered by a series of devastating storms in recent years.

The National Hurricane Center said Milton would cause an “extremely life-threatening situation” and is expected to bring damaging winds and torrential rainfall that will extend inland and outside the forecast cone. It weakened slightly from a Category 5 storm to a Category 4 as it approached the west coast of Florida, but is still extremely powerful.

“Winds will begin to increase along the west coast of Florida by this afternoon,” the NHC said. “Preparations, including evacuation if told to do so, should be rushed.”

“I am nervous. This is something we just went through with the other storm – ground saturated, still recovering from that,” Sarasota resident Randy Prior, who owns a pool business, told AFP.

Prior, 36, says he plans to ride out the storm at home, after recently toughing out Hurricane Helene, which flooded the same western parts of Florida before wreaking havoc across remote areas of North Carolina and further inland.

“I own a business, so once the storm stops, I’ve got to be here, help clean up, get everything back to normal. But this one’s a big one for sure.”

Tampa resident Luis Santiago said he would “close up everything” and leave.

Airlines added flights out of Tampa, Orlando, Fort Myers and Sarasota, as highways clogged up with escaping traffic and petrol station pumps ran dry.

The hurricane comes just two weeks after an earlier one, Hurricane Helene, hit on September 26, causing widespread damage across the southeastern US, including in Florida, and killing more than 200 people – mainly in North Carolina and Georgia.
