There is no alternative with anywhere close to the caliber of guests he gets. Plus, like Trump is a poor person's ideal of a rich and successful person, Lex is a young impressionable person's idea of a smart person, this makes him relatable to his main audience. Plus, Rogan moving full episodes to Spotify made the YT algorithm fill the vacuum with the next closest thing.

Oooh, please, do share with us who is the 'real' smart person (journalist)? Trump was president of the USA, that's not exactly unsuccessful. But not oil dollars or Rothschilds rich I suppose.

  You missed the point. They said Trump was their "ideal" of a rich and successful person. Not that he wasn't rich or successful.

    Ok then, so who should the ideal be?
