Top 5 moments from Joe Rogan's Trump interview

Joe Rogan I spoke with the former president for three hours Donald Trump on Friday, and the result was a flood of clips, reactions and content across the Internet. But there were a few moments that really stood out, even during that tidal wave.

It was so much in fact that, as they were in the last third of the episode of The Joe Rogan ExperienceTrump was surprised when he realized they were approaching the three-hour mark. He told Rogan he did leave therefore for a speech in Michigan – a speech where some supporters decided to cancel the event because of the wait.

So from that deluge we once again have a few salient points. Here are five of the biggest or wildest moments from Trump’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast this week.

1. “ARE YOU EVER GOING TO PRESENT THIS?” ROGAN PUSHES TRUMP ON STOLEN ELECTION CLAIMS:
More than two hours into the interview, Rogan asked Trump about his claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The podcaster repeatedly urged Trump to present factual evidence, ultimately causing the former president to name check Hunter Biden and his infamous laptop.

“That election was so crooked, it was the most crooked election,” Trump said.

“Okay, but give me some examples of how,” Rogan shot back.

“Well, let’s start, let’s start at the top and the easiest. They had to get regulatory approval to do the things they did, and in many cases they didn’t get that. They didn’t get it,” Trump said.

“What things?” Rogan pressed, and so it went.

It went back and forth from there.

2. TRUMP HAS NEGATIVE RATING OF BIDEN BRAIN SURGERIES:
During a discussion about his own age – 78 – Trump argued that president Joe Biden’s Stamina problems stemmed not from his age – 81 – but from previous brain surgeries he had undergone. According to Trump, Biden is not slower because he is over 80, because Trump is almost the same age and he claimed that he does not feel that lack of time.

“Biden gives people a bad name because that’s not old – that’s not era. I think they say, because I’m three or four years younger, you know, I think that’s why they say it, they say, “His age.” It’s not his age. He has a problem,” Trump said.

“Two major brain operations. He had aneurysms,” Rogan said.

‘He did. Those are not good operations,” Trump responded.

Biden suffered two brain aneurysms earlier in his life.

3. TRUMP WOULD GIVE RFK CARTE BLANCHE ON HEALTH POLICY:
Trump revealed to Rogan that he was Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had said that he can do “anything” he wants when it comes to health.

Before Kennedy dropped his independent presidential campaign and endorsed Trump, Rogan argued on his podcast that Kennedy was the only candidate who made sense to him. votes foralthough he quit before getting an endorsement. This still led to brief tension with Trump, who fantasized about Rogan’s being booed at his next UFC event for daring to even flirt by throwing his weight behind another prospect.

“Are you fully committed to him in your administration?” Rogan asked Trump on Friday.

“Oh, that’s me. I said: focus on health. You can do whatever you want,” Trump said, adding that “Big Pharma” doesn’t like him working with Kennedy and offering him so much authority.


4. “I CAN TELL YOU FOR SURE”: ROGAN AND TRUMP THINK ABOUT THE MEDIA’S OBSESSION WITH HIM:
Trump at one point wondered why he gets so much more “publicity” than others, and a bewildered Rogan offered the simplest explanation for the question.

“I always got more publicity than other people, and it wasn’t like I was trying. Actually, I don’t know exactly why, maybe you can tell me,” Trump said.

“Oh, I can definitely tell you that. You said a lot of wild things,” Rogan said.

“Maybe,” a chuckling Trump replied.

Rogan described Trump as a part comedian and applauded his timing, prompting the former president to say, “You need at least a comedian’s attitude when you’re doing this kind of thing.” This is a very dangerous undertaking.”

5. TRUMP TRYES ROGAN TO SUPPORT HIM IN A STRANGE AWESOME WAY:
While he approved of Elon MuskTrump forced Rogan to do the same to his face.

While Rogan mocked the former president and said the podcaster can’t be a “Kamala person,” Trump’s argument didn’t win Elon Musk’s approval. He did give it a try at the old college, though, even telling Rogan that he’d been “keeping an eye on him” for years and joking that he might know him “almost as well as your wife.”

“You should do the same, Joe, because you can’t vote for Kamala,” Trump said. “Kamala. You are not a Kamala person. I know you. I’ve been looking at him – you know what, without talking to you, I think I know you maybe almost as well as your wife. I’ve watched you for so many years. You are not a Kamala person.
