In a wide-ranging, three-hour interview on Joe Rogan’s popular podcast, Donald Trump explored topics from election integrity to UFOs, environmental policy, and his ongoing critiques of Vice President Kamala Harris. The episode, posted late Friday, showcased Trump’s efforts to reach voters through new media outlets ahead of the upcoming election.
During the interview, Trump reiterated his disproven claims about the 2020 election being “stolen,” citing pandemic-related voting changes that he claimed did not receive proper legislative approval. Rogan pressed him on specifics, but Trump only offered generalities, mentioning procedural changes he said were mishandled.
The conversation spanned eclectic topics, including Trump’s concerns over wind energy’s effects on marine life. Claiming that wind turbines disrupt whale populations, he remarked, “It drives the whales crazy.” Trump also shared speculative views on extraterrestrial life, stating, “Mars and all these planets could have life.” Rogan corrected him, noting the lack of current evidence of life on Mars.
In political discussions, Trump portrayed Harris as a significant threat to national stability, arguing her policies would damage the country if she were to become president. He continued this rhetoric at a rally in Traverse City, Michigan, where he was notably delayed by the extended podcast recording. Arriving late, he apologized to the crowd and emphasized his need to connect with voters.
The Rogan interview, characterized by Trump’s familiar off-script style, also touched on American history. He praised Confederate General Robert E. Lee as a “strategic genius,” though Rogan quickly clarified that Trump was referencing Lee’s military tactics, not ideology.
Trump’s appearance on Rogan’s show underscores his reliance on alternative media to reach audiences as he heads into the final stretch of his campaign. The episode, seen by millions, captured Trump’s mix of campaign messaging and offbeat commentary.
