JUST THE NEWS: GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump covered a wide range of topics on the hugely popular “Joe Rogan Experience” Friday during a nearly three-hour interview.
Rogan has an audience of about 14.5 million on Spotify and 17.6 million on YouTube, according to Fox News. He is the most-listened-to podcast host, and is considered very influential with young male voters, a demographic that Trump is attempting to reach during the remaining days of the presidential campaign.
The episode already has over 10 million views.
Among the topics they discussed were his opponent, Kamala Harris, in the race for the White House. They discussed his relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan by the Biden administration, his former National Security Advisor John Bolton, how liberals became pro-censorship of online speech, and his relationship with Robert Kennedy Jr.
Rogan asked Trump if Kennedy Jr. would definitely be a part of his next administration. He showed Trump charts that he said showed “there are chemicals and ingredients in our food that are illegal in other countries because they’ve been shown to be toxic.” He asked Trump if he was pressured not to work with Kennedy Jr.
Trump praised former independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., saying that Big Pharma wasn’t thrilled about their partnership.
After Kennedy Jr. dropped out and endorsed him, Trump said that if he got another term, Kennedy Jr. would be a part of the administration and would be focused on reforming government agencies like the Food and Drug Administration.
“But I would say that the Big Pharma wasn’t thrilled when they heard that,” Trump answered, according to Fox News. “I’ve actually always gotten along very well with him. I’ve known him a long time. He’s a different kind of a guy. He’s very smart, great guy, and he’s very sincere about this. I mean, he really is. You know, he thinks we spend a fortune on pesticides and all this stuff, and then you end up at that chart…”
Kennedy Jr. has been focused on Big Food and getting toxic chemicals out of what Americans eat. He recently coined the term “Make America Healthy Again.”
“There’s pesticides and herbicides, and there’s a lot of sh– that’s been sprayed on our food that really is unnecessary,” Rogan said. “And there’s a lot of health consequences.” He added that Kennedy recently told him that “more than 70% of young men are ineligible for the military because of their health.”
On another topic, Rogan asked Trump about referring to Kim Jong Un as “Little Rocket Man.”
“I said, ‘Little Rocket Man, you’re going to burn in hell.’ And it was rough,” Trump said. “I got to know him better than anybody, anybody. And I said, ‘Do you ever do anything else? Why don’t you go take it easy and relax? Go to the beach?’ You know, kiddingly, I said, ‘You’re always building nuclear. Just relax. You don’t have to do it. Let’s build some condos.'”
And regarding his opponent in the upcoming election, Kamala Harris, Trump described her as a “very low IQ person.”
“There’s the rhetoric is also that you’re Hitler and that in order to stop Hitler, you have to do whatever,” Rogan said. “I mean, you’re hearing this now, Kamala compared you, said you love Hitler yesterday.”
“Kamala is a very low IQ person. She’s a very low IQ. You know, I’m for taking tests too. I think anybody that runs for president should take, they should give them a test,” Trump said.
