A breakdown of Trump's best answers on Joe Rogan's podcast

Trump has been running a masterful campaign over the last few months. Instead of relying on interviews with “standard” news media, which we know are losing mass amounts of viewers and trust, he has been leaning on the podcast market.
Podcasts allow unscripted, long form discussion of complex issues that typical, short media interviews do not. It humanizes the interviewee, and shows viewers sides of them they might not see with legacy media interaction. It also gives the ability for Trump to reach a younger demographic who consume social media content far more than television, and a voting bloc comprising of more independent, liberal, and undecided voters than he would typically reach.
His latest podcast, going on with Joe Rogan, is breaking the internet. As of writing this, the podcast has been up for 19 hours and has over 18 million views - 1 million views per hour - and that’s just the YouTube listing. It likely has tens, if not hundreds of million more views on Spotify and from clips on Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram. (Update: now it’s at 20M views in 21 hours, 2M more before I even finish this article - can’t keep up!)
The way we consume information and stay up to date on news has fundamentally changed over the past few years, and this has changed the campaign process for political candidates as well.
Can you image Kamala talking to Joe Rogan for 3 straight hours, unscripted? In fact, I hope that happens. Quality entertainment.
Here are my thoughts on some of the most relevant soundbites from the Trump/Rogan podcast:
Authenticity Never Seen Before In A Political Candidate
Joe Rogan said Trump was refreshing and connected with so many people because he wasn’t the same kind of groomed candidate repeating teleprompter lines that we have dealt with for so long. Trump’s authenticity shines through his speeches and rallies because he shoots from the hip.
Personally, I can’t stand politicians that are too well spoken (like Obama). It’s clear they were groomed to speak and are trying more to get people to like them than actually create positive change - classic sign of a narcissist or psychopath. Rope the followers in with feel good speech in order to manipulate.
I’ll take a brash, off the cuff speaker over a slick politician any day of the week.
Conservatives Are The Rebels Now
Isn’t it interesting how 15+ years ago, it used to be the liberal side of the political spectrum that were the “resistance”. The left-wing was known for being anti-vax, anti-war, and anti-establishment. All that has changed over the last 10 years, especially over the last 3 or 4 years since COVID. Now it’s labeled as a “right wing” mentality to question vaccines, disbelieve the media and be anti-war. Rage Against the Machine is now raging for the machine! As Joe explains, the conservatives are the rebels now.
Replacing Taxes With Tariffs
Trump has been pushing the envelope with his tax policy - first it was no tax on tips, then no tax on social security, then making car payments tax deductible.. now he’s straight up floating the idea of doing away with a federal income tax altogether in place of tariffs.
I find it notable that Trump has been mentioning how President McKinley was funding the government with tariffs in the late 1800s. What else did President McKinley do? Put the country on a gold standard, precious metal backed currency. What happened to McKinley? He was assassinated - likely for standing up to the Central Banking Cartel.
Trump knows how threatening these plans are to the globalist cabal, but he doesn’t care. He’s going to help the American people, and the World, anyway.
Now, can this country afford to do away with federal income tax and fund everything through tariffs? Well, if we did away with all the overspending and the fraud, abuse, and waste with the government’s budget, I think we can.
Starlink Is Cheap And Revolutionary
For spending $100 billion to hook all Americans up with high-speed internet service, how many people have the Biden administration actually gotten internet to? Like 2 or 3 people?
Trump makes a great point that if we took that money and invested it into Starlink products, we could already have high speed internet around the country for a fraction of the cost - and without needing all the expensive, cumbersome wired infrastructure. Makes sense to me, hopefully Elon can do a good job with his Department of Government Efficiency!
Circumventing Deep State Generals
Trump tells the story of when he flew to Iraq on a surprise trip - I presume this was the trip he took over Christmas in 2018. Not only did he use this opportunity to meet his rank and file soldiers, but he also met with top generals there for an update on the war against ISIS.
This story shows how he knew he couldn’t trust the swampy, military-industrial complex generals around Washington D.C., he wanted to talk directly to the soldiers and generals fighting on the ground in Iraq.
On 2020 Election Fraud
Trump went all out talking election fraud, with Joe asking good questions pressing for examples and details regarding what kind of fraud and how it took place, to which Trump explained how all of the court cases involving election fraud were tossed out based on standing, not the actual facts of the case.
Social media content discussing these points used to be censored, but when you’re the most powerful podcaster and the most powerful politician in the world - that helps keep the content on the platforms.
Rogan brings up a great point - NOBODY, even liberals, believe there is zero election fraud. So why is it such a sensitive issue to bring up? You can also find plenty of examples of Democrat politicians questioning the 2016 election!
Letting RFK Jr. Go Full MAHA
RFK Jr. going full MAHA in Trump’s Administration is one of my most exciting aspects of Trump’s next term, in my opinion. I would love to see him as FDA or HHS Director destroying Big Pharma, cleaning out the revolving door between corporations and health agencies. Trump shows a paper to Joe detailing how unhealthy and obese our country is becoming. We truly need radical change in this realm.
Bringing RFK Jr. into the MAGA camp and seeing how much support RFK is giving to Trump is heartwarming, as well. All the best Democrats are supporting Trump, while all the worst Republicans are supporting Kamala Harris - that definitely says something!
DECLAS Of JFK Files (& MLK)
One question on many people’s minds is why Trump didn’t release ALL of the JFK files during his first term. Trump explains this, his reasoning being is that he didn’t want to cause the public to be too upset - understandable. Also, people involved in those files were alive during his first term. Now that some of those people have passed away, declassifying the rest of the files would have much less blowback.
I also find it notable that he quickly mentioned there are also Martin Luther King files. Hopefully we see those declassified, too. Release it all!
On UFOs and “People From Space”
I was waiting for Rogan to ask this one! I knew he would - and it looks like Trump was very prepared for this question.
Muh alienz
It actually looks like Rogan didn’t even need to ask this question, Trump brought it up on his own when talking about declassifying files.
Trump begins the conversation by using the words “People from space”. I find this word choice to be notable. “People”. Maybe Trump is using that word, instead of saying aliens or extraterrestrials, as a form of soft disclosure. I think extraterrestrial life probably looks much more like us than we realize (humanoid), rather than being little green men or reptilian or whatever else the media brainwashed us to think alien life is like.
”How much did they tell you?”, Rogan asks. “A lot”, says Trump - WOW!
And Trump was cautious, saying there’s some things he can’t say.
It’s unfortunate that Joe Rogan cuts Trump off when he starts talking about the possibility of life on Mars or other plants in the solar system. Trump was getting into some of the most interesting discussion in the whole podcast and Rogan had to be Mr. Fact of the Matter in that moment. Shame.
Rogan also somewhat shit the bed when he was discussing the G forces encountered by these UFO craft, suggesting it’s impossible a human would be in these craft because “they would turn to jello”.
Well - if one could effectively manipulate the gravitational field around a craft and create an "inertial shielding" of sorts, then the G forces wouldn't be an issue. It's likely that at least one of those military-industrial black projects have figured out not only exotic propulsion systems that allow craft to travel incredibly fast and make right hand turns, but also how to shield the occupant of the craft from the inertial forces, then the G forces wouldn't be a problem. It appears that thought hasn’t crossed Rogan’s mind, when it should, because some of his previous UFO oriented guests have talked about this.
I’m banking on Trump using Elon as his conduit to help release some of this black project propulsion technology to the public. Let’s go, Team America.
All in all - amazing podcast. Truly revolutionary how the legacy media is getting destroyed. Joe Rogan helped seal the deal for Trump’s second term - and third election win.
As we’ve been told before, WE ARE THE NEWS NOW!

Really masterful campaign.
I assume you put this post up because you care about the content more than who wrote it, right? The merit lies in the argument presented, not who he is...
