Thought the alien part was brief but interesting sounds like Trump doesn’t buy into any of it.

Really good insight into Trump as a person when he was talking about non political stuff and that’s when he’s at his best, he’s not a policy guy which is fine, trump is the embodiment of an executive his success is 100% dependent on the right hires. That’s my best hope he can make better hires this time.

I found a site with brief highlights.  Rogan pushed back on election fraud claims, made it clear that he personally was skeptical, but did it in a friendly way.  Rogan also accepted all of Trump's claims about how tariffs work with no push back at all.  Trump claims that tariffs will bring manufacturing back to the US and it will be an overall win even if prices go up for some things the economy will be doing better so it'll be an overall win.  That's possible, but looking at other countries it's very unlikely.  Compare Mexico to Brazil.  Brazil tries to stimulate manufacturing with lots of tariffs.  Mexico keeps tariffs low.  Mexico is not rich, but they are about twice as rich as Brazil, in terms of GDP per person.

Rogan pushed the election interference angle while Trump danced around the stolen election angle. They both agree it wasn’t a fair election for whatever that’s worth. 

I don’t care about 2020 I care about 2025 and beyond. Trump talked in length about using tariffs as an economic weapon, big example was a Chinese manufacturing plant in Mexico he killed it with threatening tariffs at over 200%. In that specific case it’s the perfect use as a weapon in no way should we let china enter our market anymore than they already are. 

They also talked at length about RFK and his health movement make America healthy they called it. 

Really should make time to listen to the whole thing there’s a lot to unpack and there’s a lot of fluff too.
