Y'all if you don't already love theo, hear me out. I had three spine surgeries this year. I called theos podcast after my second one. Dude no fkn shit I get a call one night and he just talked to me and listened for like a half hr, then sent me the green smiley face hoodie that says "be good to yourself"... dude will always have my support and then a few months later is talking to presidents. But still cared to call a guy from a small town in idaho. Much love bruh
Yep. That’s Theo. I saw him in Phoenix and I happened to be sitting at the same table as his mom and we talked between sets. He’s everyone’s friend that made it. I love it how he advocates for those in recovery.
I DEFINITELY agree man I had 4 spine surgeries and his podcast and videos got me thru the healing process! Good luck on ur recovery and much LOOOOOOOOOOVE Theo!!
My favorite part of this interview is that Theo does not treat Trump like a celebrity. He’s not trying to impress him, he’s just himself. So refreshing.
When he kept calling him Donald (instead of Mr. Trump) I was like 😬, thinking Trump could get offended. Then slipped in a casual 'dude' too 😂 I think I was a wild ride for Trump 🤣
Theo is so underrated, it is astounding how accessible President Trump is. If that doesn't say something about who he is, and the fact Dana White is a friend and honest to Theo, tells me something about Theo as well. If you didn't watch Theo/Dana episode you are missing out. Theo told Dana he would love to have President Trump on his show, and Dana said I'll make that happen, and here it is. Dana is a man of his word without question!
And also cocaine almost started to make him feel like a mechanic or something is another good dodge from Trump. Gotta be a composed man to not at least giggle at Theo's analogies 😆😆😆😆
I wish i could hit thumbs up 1000 times, that statement was so funny and Trump just rolled with itTheo is so frickn funny. ....and then your go cart racing with hookers😂😂😂😂😂 #recovering@c8203
@@princekadeem8689 but then spent no time questioning the actions and words of a man who attempted a coup. Seems like Theo is either an idiot, or his civics teacher was trash. Maybe both
You know both of them were briefed on what they can and can't say right, and told to ask certain questions, with pre planned answers? You seriously believe thats not the case?
Listening to Trump talk about his brother's alcoholism and Theo's perspectives on recovery was really humbling. Trump even says "I don't drink, but I could see myself being the kind of guy who might have a problem with it if I did" That's some pure honesty. Respect.
Agreed. Idc if you hate him, everyone has been affected by addiction. Addiction doesn’t discriminate or donate to a certain party. Addiction is a universal struggle.
@@mattarc-p7i Right, go watch tv for half an hour and report back and tell me how many advertisements you get for beer. Then, go to any local convenient or grocery store and see all the bottles of wine, and huge cases of beer with signs all over the store showing them off with lower prices than fruit juice. Then, go out for a drive and see how many liquor stores you see advertised all over the place. It's not that crazy to think about until you realize there's only a couple drugs on the planet that can kill you from just withdrawal symptoms and Alcohol is one of them. It's insanely normalized for a substance which is physically more dangerous than Meth
I had just watched Joe Rogan's interview and am watching this now. You did an incredible job, Theo, of bringing the human side of Donald Trump to light by sharing your own stories and struggles. I knew Trump cares about people despite his hard exterior, but we don't really get to see it in the media. This is great. Thank you!
He's politically incorrect and says the way it is! He's not a panderer or just tries to get sound clips or has any media bias on his side (fox news aside)....gives zero shits and that's what we NEED in the White House again! Putin, Un, Iran, Taliban.....all scared shitless of Trump because he's unpredictable yet he never started a freaking way or conflict!
Theo’s podcast now is what Joe Rogan’s used to be, insane variety of guests, interesting and funny conversations without the same 4-5 talking points bought up in every single episode. You’re the king of this shit bro
Joe is still a great interviewer, sure he gets carried away in a few topics from time to time but he can still interview with the best. Theo is definitely killing it though.
@@acutecloudd7970 I mean they got pretty personal Theo von opened up to Trump about his drug and alcohol addiction, it doesn't all need to be political if they're just having a civil conversation. Is that not allowed??
@@acutecloudd7970wdym? He asked plenty of deep and personal questions. Just not politically motivated or relevant… then again that obviously wasn’t the point of this interview.
@@acutecloudd7970 that's the value they see going on these comedians podcasts - trump/rfk know they can deliver their nonsensical factually bankrupt messages without any pushback - its harmful stuff
In a really weird f***** up way though, that actually kind of tells you what you needed to know. Like there was a whole lot of f****** around and having fun doing that period
@CadeSubscriptionAccount 😂😂 you people say anything for the hell of it lmao. Plenty of people having "fun" now. Just because u ain't don't mean plenty of others aren't
The delicate balance Theo plays of being borderline interruptive and slightly unhinged while remaining professional and hilarious simultaneously is an absolute work of art. Well done Theo!
RIGHT. Im so happy Theo Von was the first person to actually have the balls to say something real in this situation. This conversation gives me a lot of hope for the future of journalism.
this is why we must talk about addiction, alcohol and drug abuse. There's healing in conversation. Sharing your journey, your struggles, shame, and pain in the right setting, with the right people, can facilitate a new beginning.
“Cocaine made me feel like I was a mechanic” cocaine,l turn ya into an owl, end up on your own porch” trump was probably like what the hell did I get myself into
Theo and Jordan Petersons podcast where they talked about alcohol actually helped convince me to go to rehab. Thank you guys for talking about this stuff. It does help! 17 months sober 💪
I saw a video of Theo at a stop light, and a guy pulled up next to him and starting talking. Theo spoke to that man exactly like he is speaking to Trump. So down-to-earth and kind.
Exactly….Im not a huge trump fan but the way he interacted with Theo lets me know he’s a true American…Rather you are weird, political, business-man, homeless, IM HERE FOR YOU…that’s what I got out of it
My favorite part is he's just munching on a snack when he's seen on camera 😄 just chewing the cud, saying what's up, and leaving the line when the light hits
Hey you out there. You haven't lost your mind as long as you've got your integrity to try. Methadone programs work! It will be your last stop if you are seriously wanting your life back. Three things to remember: Never talk about drugs in the clinic. Never mix methadone with other stuff, it's your last stop! Never entertain conversations with anyone about when you are going to get off of methadone. Bring it up with yourself once a year and weigh the pros and cons. Never forget where you came from.
They key to the success of Theo and Trump is they are 100% authentic. No matter where they are or who they are talking to they are always unapologetically themselves!
That’s what makes the connection more awesome. And you can see Trump doesn’t take it as an insult and takes it as being friendly and also that’s just how Theo talks lol. Trump has some close friends with people you’d never though of like for example Mike Tyson lol
*Wrong. Trump is the ENEMY of our democracy. Kamala Harris on the other hand, is the single greatest female President in the history of the human race, and YES, Kamala absolutely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for her work as VP!! NOT IDIOT TRUMP!!!* 😠😡👿 #Kamala4Socialism #KarlMarxWasRight #CommunismIsFREEDOM
The best thing about Theo is how natural he is around extremely influential people. He doesn't try to impress them, doesn't change his personality, and just treats them like anyone else. Thank you for providing a balanced platform. Having Bernie and Trump on your platform is the epitome of a unbiased platform. Keep up the great work Theo!
The one genuinely sane and decent thing I've ever heard Trump aay was about the dangers of alcohol abuse. He's a sad ratf*ck excuse of a human being besides, but I gotta be fair, y'know.
I'm not sure about his comments that cocaine has an unpleasant effect. Like heroin, it's a terrible drug because of the pleasurable effect it produces.
I came for laughs but was extremely taken back by how well Theo actually interviewed him. And how well and civil it stayed the whole time. Congrats Theo you nailed it.
@@jodog31 Fear mongering? Heard only President Trump stating his view that the lobbyists representing teachers and lawyers hold the much of the power over Washington D.C. policy making. Your view appears to be based on your extensive research of watching cableTV or TikTok.
That's the thing, Trump is a good person, and yet so many work overtime to demonize him because they don't want their crime spree to come to an end... and so many people believe what the media say about Trump over the people who are actually interviewing him.
Thanks for being brave enough to comment. I’ve seen interview after interview with Donald Trump and he’s really a down-to-earth guy now of course he’s got an ego, but I really believe the media paints him to be something he’s not and you know what I believe this country needs someone with a bit of an ego that can’t be bought off as well. I am very worried about our country. I think the whole political system is really messed up and I think we’ve got bad people on both sides. I think there’s people that have been blackmailed and compromised on both sides, and with about Donald Trump and his life, but the bottom line is things were better when he was in office and I believe they’ll be better again if he goes back in office compared to the Democrats one last thing I notice when I see the real protesters they’re always angry and violent and they run on pure motion and yes, there’s some nuts on the right. You’ve got extreme us on both, but a general rule of thumb seem former moderate Democrats have just gone off the far left and I don’t understand what’s going on actually I think I do. I think all this is intentional. I think there are some forces that are trying to put us against each other. A house divided cannot stand. We are all Americans and we need to realize what’s happening and stick together. I truly believe that I think there are some evil forces at work here. They can’t take America by force so they’ll take us down from the inside that’s what they wanna do.
Certainly appreciate someone watching a video from politics from other side. I’m formerly a liberal voted for Obama and Clinton. You’d be surprised how much you learn about DONALD in his interviews and that he’s no where near as extreme as mainstream media shows or portrays.
And Trump proceeded to do what he does best which is lying. The guy has no healthcare plan other than letting private insurances make crazy profits off people suffering
@@Cashhhhew Nobody ever said or suggested he would. Theo has already been pretty open about his support for RFK. Don't think he wants to change Trump.
Theo is unapologetically himself in every interview. So authentic. He interviews people of all echelons, no echo chambers, just finds common ground and has a good time with every guest.
@@matham625 regardless of where he falls on the political spectrum, he interviews everybody. it’s refreshing to see someone have all different types of people as guests.
What's so interesting is that he talked about the drug/pharma problem, and the illegal immigrant problem.........and the irony is that once you fix the drug problem, the cartel problem goes away.
@@mrgreen2258ideology, power, and money are the evils. I'd say ideology is more powerful than money. There's a reason why religions and other "woke" ideologies want to get access to the children lol. Get the ideology started when they are young and it's hard to get out of that and think for yourself as an adult
That was one of the best moments of this episode. I appreciate how Trump didn't hesitate to give a frank answer about it as well. It's what we all know deep down, and it's conversations like these that get the problem out front to deal with. If Trump gets elected, I hope there can be a bridge of communication between podcasters like Theo and the Trump administration regarding issues like this one.
Hey brother I know this is just a random comment section on the internet, but I really care about this and I just want to tell you I'm incredibly proud of you. Nothing will change your life more than staying clean and being within right mind. I love you man, keep up the great work and if you feel like you're gonna slip up, just remember how happy it makes you to be clean and the amount of pride and integrity you have when you aren't under the the thumb of the monster.
Keep it going brother! Your life is more valuable than you can imagine and the God of the universe who created you and breathed life into your lungs actually loves you and cares for you.
I doubt they went hunting in Czechoslovakia as it doesn't exist anymore. Not trolling, just sayin. Czech Republic and Slovakia have been two seperate countries since the fall of the Iron Curtain. As I said, I doubt it, maybe they did go recreational hunting behind the Iron Curtain. Peace out.
Theo has had the best podcast with Trump I've seen yet. He constantly interrupts where needed to make it a conversation and not a rally speech. Thank you Theo this was outstanding.
@@logicboard7746lul they would never speak because they are little puppets without their own thoughts. Ugggg I can't stand that. I respect trump because what you see is what you get. He doesn't play games or try to pretend he is not who he is. He is confident and comfortable in his own skin. As all humans should be. Unfortunately there are many shallow, insecure and unhappy people in this world
When Theo mentioned about AA literature and described alcohol as "cunning, baffling, and powerful." I felt that and respect Theo for his service he is doing for all of us.
Define helps? If help equals entertainment, then yes. I don’t think any of us are getting help from any government; now or any time soon. We’ve been in a dystopia, get comfortable and/or welcome your incoming existential crisis.
An us pwesident ain't no royalty homie. George Washington wanted people to call him homie and dude too, he said not to call him "your majesty" and sheet
Anyone notice when Trump made the joke about Kamala, “that’s the ONLY thing she’s good at,” someone off screen said something to them about wrapping it up? That was Trumps best line in the interview, and his handler tried to interrupt and shut it down when he said it… Why are Trumps campaign managers trying to sabotage everything we loved about Donald Trump? They’re giving him bad advice. They’re telling him to not make jokes and be “rude,” they’re neutering what we loved about him. If anyone wants to get these people away from him. Their names are Chris LaCivita, and Susie Wiles. And it’s clear they are trying to turn Trump into the politician he USED to fight against. They need to be fired! FIRE CHRIS LACIVITA and SUSIE WILES!
How down to earth is Theo?? To just talk to a POTUS and a dude on the street in the exact same manner just shows you what a real person he is!!! That interview was fantastic, showed a very personal side of the Donald too. Bravo 👏
Yeah except one of them was able to sit there and tell the truth for an hour. Being "fair" to someone who lies constantly isn't really fair to the honest guest.
Theo, I noticed that you heard from Bernie and asked Trump about some of the info he gave you. I think you are doing a great service for our country by showing those two perspectives and comparing them for everyone to see. I was a fan for quite a while, but you’re going to be a legend if you aren’t already. Thank you for your insight and consideration for all of us struggling out here with ourselves and thank you for speaking for the little guy to the big dogs.
Hi@@sunseeker9581 , i would not disagree. I am just grateful to see them as human beings. I don’t think it was intended for “that” discussion, so all good. I got what I came for. Have a chill weekend!
@@yayday no not really she actually understands her policies. Just look at trumps latest interview. Instead of taking audience questions he just played music. Hes clearly not well
@@sunseeker9581 Kamala understands her policies??? If you think she has anything resembling a grasp of her proposals it just proves you don't understand her policies either. Impressive levels of cope.
Always felt Trump was a poor communicator on the Stump, but after watching this and him on Flagrant Andy Schultz's channel, I realized I underestimated the human side of the man. I hope others watch this and see he really has a love for this country and a sense of humanity I have rarely seen in any politician.
Theo calling him Don like they were close friends 😂, and Trump wasn't bothered by it... You don't get more real than that. I loved the questions he asked. Real talk.
I love the fact that nobody. No body can help but be normal around Theo. His entire being causes people to be and feel comfortable, down to earth. Very admirable.
@@shawnfriesen1498 Attmitedly, it seemed like a lot of the questions went off course. I wondered how much was the way Trump talks vs what he is or is not allowed to say.
@@williamstamper442 at 32:20 Theo pointedly asks about how to stop lobbying after the conversation circled the topic for awhile. Trump deflects on actual legislation to get lobby money out of politics
@@vocondus It seems like deflecting questions is reflexive for him. I found it kind of sad that he had such generic things to say when Theo asked what he admired about his family members
everyone has a bias, including theo. There’s nothing wrong with having opinions, but don’t assume somebody is being objective when that is literally impossible for all of us as a species.
This is SUCH a proud moment! He did it! He actually interviewed him, and came back to the questions he asked everytime. Theo, so proud of you. You are incredible! Absolutely love you.
But it’s too bad that there was no fact checking and that Trump just got to spew lies. Trump is sitting across from the Theo bold face lying about Healthcare. Trump said that on day one he’s going to throw millions of Americans off of healthcare by dismantling the affordable care act. That is the number one thing that will get worse if Trump gets reelected. he is the worst Healthcare! He’s got big Pharma and all of the greedy hospitals in his pocket. Talk about lobbyist! Trump is such a liar and greedy SOB.
He did REALLY in all seriousness advertise potency drugs (49:21) while critise big pharma in the interview. THIS IS WILD. I am speechless. This cant be real. All my respect is gone.
Trump plans to dismantle healthcare as soon as he is re-elected . He plans on throwing millions of Americans off of the affordable care act , Millions of Americans to get their healthcare through the healthcare marketplace will lose their coverage under Trump. Trump takes money from big Pharma and works for the lobbyist. He was laughing and mocking Theo because he couldn’t believe how stupid Theo was not knowing that big pharma and the greedy hospitals and insurance companies RUN THIS COUNTRY. THEY HAVE THEIR HANDS IN ALL POCKETS OF OUR ELECTION SYSTEM. THAT IS WHY BERNIE REFUSES TO TAKE SUPERPAC MONEY., UNLIKE TRUMP.
Trump had NO ANSWERS OR PLANS on how he plans on fixing the broken healthcare system in the United States. Kamala has a plan and she has voiced it. The only thing Trump plans on doing is throwing millions of Americans off of Healthcare as soon as he gets reelected.
Theo treated this interview like it was no difference between him and talking to our president or anybody else that he had on his podcast😂.... I LOVE IT ‼️🤣😂🤣😂
Theo calling him "Donald" and calling him "homie" is exactly why I love this podcast 😂 Theo is just himself - no gimmicks, no motives, just creating a space to share ideas and connect. Cheers, Theo 🍻
But he is the 45th President of the USA, calling him Donald is okay, but 'homie' is dishonorable even inauthentic, because they are not friends...in any case as much as Mr Trump is approachable and funny we must respect and honour him.
@@masegomoleko9439 Man, autism gets some people in some really specific ways. I guess your thing is worshipping politicians, and getting offended when others don't. Even though politicians actually welcome the gesture of being treated as just another person, because it will help them in the polls by seeming more relatable/down to Earth.
@@masegomoleko9439 dude he's just a human being, theo is a pure and kind soul, he treats everyone the same, that's one of the things we love about him. There was absolutely no disrespect about it, quite the opposite. If he tried to worship him as you obviously do it would seem fake as fuck.
There is a difference between worship and honour, and Donald Trump is not his "homie". That was inauthentic. Your beloved Theo can be criticized, that does not mean he is not a great guy. Who is worshipping who now? And yes this will do great for polls, but that still does not make it right...A president is not honoured because we like or dislike his personality, but for the position he holds/held.
DJT sometimes says cringe things or rambles a bit much, but it's normal human behavior. I wish the NPC crowd would understand why this seems "off" or "not Presidential." Because he's not a rehearsed and polished politician. Harris has been playing politics for decades and has such a mush brain low iq that she can't even manage to seem like a politician.
First time listening to Theo. Original real worlder here. I love the way you parlay into the big issues brother. You will be the reason for the change.
The reason why Theo is so good is because he has the one trait required for productive conversation which is thoughtful and genuine curiosity, without judgement.
Nothing productive about it when there is a complete void of fact checking. This is essentially an open forum for grifting. Nothing evil about Theo for that but he's not qualified to provide critical questions as soon as things turn political.
@@mikkel9840Theo is a comedian on a podcast - this isn't a presidential debate 😂. You shouldn't believe anything you hear on a podcast automatically. They are for entertainment not education
@@mikkel9840i hate politics but I like Theo! I feel like he asked good questions others wouldn’t bother to ask. How is he supposed to fact check mid interview?
It was sad but also refreshing to hear Trump admit that defeating the lawyer lobby is bigger than one man. No bombastic claims of single handily taking them on and defeating them if we elect him, just straight shot truth.
Theo, “And then at the end you go kart racing with hookers”. Trump, “o yeah”. 😂😂😂😂. Trump seems like a good dude. I enjoyed the interview. Good job Theo!
💯 As REAL as Real could Ever Get 💯 Great Interview Theo! Truly an Inspiration. ❣️ 💜 I HUG YOUR HEART ❤️ Admire your Mind 💜 Pray Peace, Love and Freedom Fill Your Soul ♥️ You're Amazing! 🧸🙏🇺🇸 🤠 Texas Baby! 🤘
Trumps lucky to be adorned with the Term "dude". I couldn't believe it, however, not even 1 "atta-boy"/"old sport" was not uttered 1 time. Oh well, surely hair-do has forgotten the nitty gritty of most the interview. "Theo von" is likely "Gene McMahon or something.
Good job Theo. Thank you for letting ANY political person speak. Whether they’re one side or another democracy requires transparency for it to be true democracy
Whilst I agree with your sentiment, we gotta stop with the democracy stuff. We aren’t a democracy. And that’s a good thing. If we were, a few states and cities would control the rest of the country forever. But that’d be why we have senators to represent us in congress. I suppose that in THAT setting we are a democracy, where majority rules to implement certain legislation. But in all, we’re a constitutional republic. We aren’t ruled by majority. We’re ruled by our constitution. So in all, we aren’t a “true democracy”. Btw, in no way is this meant to be attacking you, so please don’t take it that way. I agree with you on having different people from different sides of the political aisle on to talk to them and have discourse. It’s sorely needed.
Odd that the party screaming "THREAT TO DEMOCRACY" is all about controlling transparency and perception...like that Primanti Brothers stunt Kamala's team pulled last week having a scripted and controlled event with paid actors portraying casual diners. What a slimy cringe thing to pull. Even worse, they thought they'd get away with it. The Trump supporters that were kicked out of the place at 4pm posted video. A dozen van-loads of fake plants were positioned to swoon with orgasmic delight at Kamala's presence.🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@christopherkimber7679hey so if it’s not democracy what kind of government is it called? Also is Canada considered democracy? If not then what is it really? Hope you can tell me
He defers to Trump and acts uncertain about what he is saying even though it is very clear and specific. Trump believes him so he is at ease. It’s exceptional.
