Donald Trump’s key moments in his overly friendly conversation with Joe Rogan
With millions of Americans having already voted and Election Day just over a week away, here’s a snapshot of what Rogan and Trump had to say on Friday:
Rogan said Trump has been attacked more than anyone in history
Rogan began the interview by talking about Trump’s appearance above View mode when running for president for the first time. Back then, the crowd cheered as Trump received a warm welcome on the show.
“They all love you,” Rogan began. “And then you really start winning the polls and then the machine starts working towards you — probably no one in history that I’ve ever seen has been attacked the way you’ve been attacked. attack.”
Trump responded by discussing his work Apprenticethen criticized its all-female cast View mode“I was very famous and all those people loved me. I mean, some of these women, they’re so stupid.”
Election denialism
Throughout the entire interview, Trump continued to reference the 2020 election, repeating his Big Lie — that he won despite allegations of a coordinated effort against him. At one point, Rogan complained that people always “cut off” Trump when he talked about how he won four years ago — something he won’t do.
“I did really well the second time. I did much better. I don’t want to drag you into any disputes, but I won the second election so easily,” Mr. Trump said. The two also discussed the perceived censorship against Trump on social media and Hunter Biden‘s laptop led to interference in the election.
“I won by likes, I lost by likes—I didn’t lose,” Trump said later. Rogan laughed again.
The host also compared questioning the election results and being labeled an election denier to questioning Covid-19 vaccinations and being labeled an anti-vax.
In 2022, Rogan “was criticized for spreading what was widely considered to be misinformation about the coronavirus,” New York Times reported.
Trump again pursued Harris’s intelligence
“Can you imagine Kamala doing this show?” Trump asked.
“She should have done it, and she can do it, and I hope she will. I would talk to her like a human being,” Rogan replied.
Vice president Kamala Harris negotiated a spot with Rogan, but it “didn’t work out,” according to to NBC News. Campaign spokesperson Ian Sams told MSNBC on Thursday that they “have been talking to Rogan and his team about the podcast, which unfortunately will not be active right now because of the scheduling of this phase of the campaign.”
