In a nearly three-hour interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, former President Donald Trump explored topics ranging from tax reform to his view of extraterrestrial life. The podcast, released Friday night and highly listened by young males, marked a departure from traditional campaign stops, allowing Trump to engage with a demographic his campaign seeks to mobilize ahead of Election Day.
The wide-ranging conversation touched on familiar themes for Trump, including his claims of election fraud in 2020, an assertion Rogan did not challenge directly. Rogan, who just two years ago criticized Trump as a "threat to democracy," shifted his stance, saying that a recent attempt on Trump's life prompted his invitation to the former president. "Once they shot you, I was like, 'He's got to come in here,'" Rogan said.
