Former President Donald Trump used his appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” to make false claims about the 2020 election, bash his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, and attack his former White House staff.

The episode, which aired Friday night, has arguably reached one of the largest podcast audiences in the country, with more than 15.7 million Spotify followers. Trump’s interview caused a three-hour delay at a planned rally in Michigan on Friday night.

With a little more than a week until the November election, Trump continued to cast doubt on the election’s results, criticized secure voting practices such as mail-in voting and voting machines, and doubled down on his false belief that won the 2020 presidential election. .

“You did old-fashioned ballots,” Trump told Joe Rogan, making unsubstantiated claims about unsigned ballots and “fake votes.”

Rogan compared being labeled an election denier to being labeled an anti-vaxxer, with Trump criticizing mail-in voting despite telling his supporters to get out and vote however they want.

When Rogan asked Trump why he didn’t release comprehensive evidence of alleged voter fraud in 2020, the former president became combative, falsely claiming he did and arguing that he lost the election because the judges “didn’t have the what was needed”.

When Rogan brought the Democrats and Harris labeling him a fascistTrump replied.

“Kamala is a very low IQ person. She has a very low IQ,” the former president said.

Trump, who came under fire after former chief of staff John Kelly said in interviews that Trump praised Nazi generalstold Rogan that he had an affinity for Confederate General Robert E. Lee. “He took a war that should have been over in a matter of days and it was, you know, years of vicious war,” Trump said.

The unedited episode was more of a conversation than an interview, as Rogan asked Trump to reminisce about his political arc and let him ramble on various topics, from the environment to the economy to health care.

However, in the loose format, even Rogan got lost at times.

“Your tissue is getting wider. I want to go back to the rates,” Rogan said at one point.

Trump referenced his speaking style at a rally in August, calling it “the fabric.”

“I’m going to talk about nine different things and they all come back together brilliantly,” he said at the time.

On the Rogan podcast, Trump defended his own age and cognitive acuity while attacking President Joe Biden’s cognitive ability.

“Biden gives people a bad name because he’s not an old man — that’s not an age. I think I’m saying that 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.

While talking about the first presidential debate between Trump and Biden, Rogan floated a debunked conspiracy theory that Democrats would want the debate to take place earlier than usual to knock Biden out of the race.

Trump acknowledged but disagreed, saying, “I don’t think anybody thought he was going to get out,” referring to Biden.

Towards the end of the podcast, Rogan asked Trump about alien life and whether Trump believed in aliens to which the former president said there could be life on Mars.

“Mars, we’ve had probes and rovers there and I don’t think there’s life there,” Rogan pushed back.

“Maybe it’s the life we ​​don’t know about,” Trump countered.
