In a highly anticipated interview, Donald Trump touched on a wide range of cultural and political issues Friday night in an three-hour conversation with Joe Rogan, who hosts one of the biggest podcasts in the world.
The recording went on so long that Trump arrived several hours late to his rally that night in Traverse City, Mich. Frustrated at having to wait so long, many people left.
The Rogan interview is a continuation of Trump turning to nontraditional media outlets, including podcasts, in the weeks leading up to Election Day. Rogan also invited Vice President Kamala Harris to do an interview, but her campaign has declined. Rogan's podcast has more than 17 million YouTube subscribers.
Much of the interview, which was put online around 10 p.m. Friday night, was rehashed commentary Trump has expressed throughout the campaign.
He said the war in Ukraine would never have happened if he were president, complained about moderators not fact-checking Vice President Kamala Harris enough during her one debate with Trump, blasted the traditional media, did things like continue to frame Harris and Democrats as more dangerous than foreign foes and dabbled in conspiratorial talk about the 2020 election being stolen.
