President Donald Trump’s nearly three-hour interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience” was released on Friday.
The nation’s most popular podcast, recorded in Austin, Texas, gave an unfiltered look at Trump’s views to Rogan’s audience of over 14.5 million on Spotify and 17.6 million on YouTube.
The interview covered a wide range of topics, including when Trump first came into office and, “Obama thought we were going to go to war with North Korea.”
“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.'”
Trump also discussed Russian President Vladimir Putin and his plans to avoid a global war.
“All I can tell you is that I’d meet with Putin and I’d meet with him, and I know what I’d say to each one of them. And I believe as President-Elect, I’d get that war stopped fast. We have tremendous power if you know how to use the power,” Trump told Rogan.
The discussion also addressed the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous military departure from Afghanistan.
“That’s when I realized Milley was a dummy. I said, ‘we’re leaving, but I want to get everything out.’ ‘Sir, it’s cheaper to leave it,'” Trump said.
“Cheaper? Not more dangerous?” Rogan asked.
“He just said cheaper,” Trump responded.
Rogan also asked Trump about his recent endorsement from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., wondering if he would have a part in his future administration.
“I want to be a little careful about with him is the environment because, you know, he doesn’t like oil. I love oil,” Trump said. “So I’m just going to keep him out. I said, ‘Focus on health. You can do whatever you want, but got to be a little bit careful with the liquid gold.’”
