Friday, Donald Trump promoted the book of his “friend”, the conservative author Douglas Murray, just a day after Murray confronted Joe Rogan on his popular podcast.
The British writer challenged Rogan’s recent interview with an apologist from the Holocaust who affirms that Winston Churchill was the “villain in chief” of the Second World War.
In an article Friday on Truth Social, Trump made no mention of the confrontation in the episode of this week of The Joe Rogan experience.
Murray book, On democracies and cults of death“Serves as a strong reminder why we must always defend America, and our great friend and ally, Israel,” wrote Trump.
The author “very respected”, as Trump described, had challenged Rogan by choosing to present controversial guests Darryl Cooper and Podcaster Ian Carroll.
Cooper embarked on the revisionism of the holocaust on the program of the former host of Fox News, Tucker Carlson, last September, when he falsely affirmed that the murder of Hitler Jews was an involuntary consequence of the Second World War. Cooper also made the anhistoric affirmation that Churchill was the “villain -in -chief” of war.
Cooper appeared on Rogan’s podcast last month, just like Carroll, which would be known for anti -Semitic conspiracy theories.
Murray told Rogan, “I think you have opened the door to a lot of people who now have a large platform, who has thrown back historical things of a very dangerous type.”
“These guys are not historians. They know nothing,” said Murray.
“No one calls a historian to Ian Carroll,” replied Rogan.
“But then why listen to their opinions on Churchill?” Asked Murray. “If you only get the opposite view, that is to say:” Is it not fun if we all claim that Churchill was the villain of the 20th century? ” – At one point, you will bring people to think that it’s sight. And these are the horses – of the deepest kind.”
Rogan did not seem to think too deep about it.
“I don’t think about it that way,” he said. “I just think that I would like to talk to this person.”
Murray challenged him more: “There is a moment when” I only raise questions “is no longer valid … You don’t ask questions. You tell people something.”
Rogan, in the same interview, took a little victory over a separate subject.
Being able to say “R —- D” is “back”, swore Rogan. He then credited himself in part.
It is “one of the great cultural victories that, I think, are stimulated, probably, by podcasts,” he said.
