Rogan then lamented that the anti-war left of his youth is being lost in action, saying establishment Democrats and Republicans appear united to prolong the war in Ukraine.

“They were all united in this idea that they should go ahead. No one, whether it was a Republican or a Democrat,” he observed, recalling that Democrats of the past were “always anti-war, always.”

He went on to say, “This is the first time where Democrats are, like, wholesale buying the narrative and We have to stop Putin. We have to support Ukraine. I mean, how many Democrats, peaceful people have been have syringes. their Twitter bio now has a Ukrainian flag?”

Rogan praised Trump for his rhetoric at a CNN Town Hall in May, where the 2024 candidate boasted that he could end the Russia-Ukraine war overnight if he were re-elected president.

“If I were the president, I would settle that war in one day, 24 hours,” Trump declared, saying he would meet with the presidents of both countries.

When Trump was asked if he wanted Ukraine or Russia to win the war, he replied, “I want everybody to stop dying. They’re dying. Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I’m going to do that. I’m going to that within 24 hours. I will do it. You need the power of the presidency to do it.”

Rogan described Trump’s answer as “perfect” and mocked CNN for trying to make a “gotcha” moment “out of a subject that literally has the fate of the world in front of it,” citing the possibility of war nuclear because people are “flippantly. supporting this ongoing conflict without talking about some kind of compromise.”

Trussell expressed his shock that Trumps statement was seen as so controversial: “I always thought that was sort of the general consensus, like, among people who are sane it’s not good to blow up each other.”

“Any attempt like stopping a war without World War III or violence or whatever, it’s glorious,” he argued. “Even if you fail, even if you look like a weak pathetic piece of s—, in the long run, you’ll look good if you’re a world peacemaker.”
