o where other people can't go. And this is what Joe Rogan says. He goes, quote, "Here's the really important point. I'm an effing" — he used the real word — "I'm an effing idiot." Rogan added and went on to say, "I don't know what's required to be president, and that maybe we're better off with Trump. Maybe we were better off with someone else. I don't know." So Rogan, of course, famously has had…

Can't have an intimate relationship with a woman, and I can't even take care of it myself. I guess I'm gonna have to do it for the money. What's it pay? Five, ten million a year? Well, you're also gonna be closer to poor than rich. I don't know how you sell that job, frankly. But all right. So I watched it as an outsider. I'm glad that people do it because religion is good, I think, in the world. So that's enough about that.
Somebody says get rich. Yeah, that would be the exception. I think I'm gonna give you a suggestion that's the best suggestion you've heard. Are you ready? Here it is. During the election season, all the candidates like to take issues off the table. So if there's something that somebody's killing you with as an issue, if you can do something to remove that, that's good. One of the things that Bernie and some of the other Democrats, most of them I think, are pushing is legalizing weed at the federal level. And we see that Trump is completely vulnerable to that argument because he's kind of quiet on it. And he's also famously anti-drug. So he's not really the right person to take that argument to the public, even if he agrees with it. We don't know if he does, but even if he did, it would be hard for him to be the anti-drug guy personally in his life. It's made a big difference. He's never touched any kind of drug. So he would be the wrong person, I think, to promote legalization of any kind, because it just goes against his personal story too hard. But at the same time, the public wants it, and it's a big problem for the election.
Here is my suggestion. Are you ready? President Trump should delegate the decision to Ben Carson. Now, I know this isn't Ben Carson's job in the cabinet, but Ben Carson is a famous medical professional, one of the most, maybe the most famous doctor in the world. Okay, can you think of a medical doctor who's not like Dr. Oz but somebody who's credible as an actual physician or something? I would say Ben Carson is one of the most famous medical experts in the world. And I think the president should say some version of this: I'm too close to this. I'm just too close to it. It's too personal. You know, I lost my brother to alcohol

. I'm not the one who could make a decision on this. So I recuse myself. I realize it's my decision to make, but I have to recuse myself because I can't be objective on this question. So I'm going to delegate it to the most credible person I can think of, which is Ben Carson. Now, it's kind of a twofer if you haven't figured this out on your own. You may be aware that Ben Carson is black. I think…
