The full three-hour talk summarized in less than 10 minutes.
🧵 THREAD
Donald Trump just accomplished what Kamala Harris never could—take unscripted questions from Joe Rogan and answer them directly and clearly.
The conversation started with a bang as Rogan shed light on shocking footage from Trump’s 2015 appearance on The View.
You won't believe how well the cast treated him, as Barbara Walters refers to Trump as a “friend.”
JOE ROGAN: “Watch this...This is literally bonkers.”
BARBARA WALTERS: “Please welcome my friend, Donald Trump.”
JOE ROGAN: “Watch this. Just watch this. This is nuts. We're in an alternative universe, okay? Because this is not that long ago.”
Minutes later, in a moment of self-reflection, Trump told Rogan that his “biggest mistake” in his first term was appointing some “bad people” to his administration.
This includes National Security Advisor John Bolton and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.
Trump revealed that the presidency involves around 10,000 federal appointments, including 100 major ones.
Now that Trump has seen the swamp with his own eyes and familiarized himself with Washington, he has much higher confidence that his future picks would better serve the American people.
Rogan, who has not historically been a Trump fan, started dishing out compliments to the former president, telling him that the reason why he's so popular is because he's genuine and doesn't speak in “bullsh*t, pre-prepared politician lingo.”
Rogan pointed to the glorious moment when Trump told Hillary Clinton to her face, “You'd be in jail.”
He explained, “One of the beautiful things about you is that you freeball. Like you get out, and you do these huge events, and you’re just talking. We’ve highlighted you on the show many times when you did this Biden impression where he’s walking around, doesn’t know what he’s doing. It’s funny, it’s stand-up, it’s funny stuff.”
“And you were making fun of Elon one time; you were doing an Elon impression. It’s great. You have comedic instincts. Like when you said to Hillary, ‘You’d be in jail.’ It’s great timing. But it’s like that kind of stuff was unheard of as a politician. Like no one had done that.”
Elon Musk then entered the conversation, as Trump marveled at his brilliant mind, saying that he’s “the greatest guy” and is so smart that he must be “from a different planet.”
Trump was stunned the moment Musk's Starship rocket defied all odds, landing precisely on its designated pad after a groundbreaking test flight.
Trump was on the phone with an “important guy” when he watched it happen and asked, “Who else can do that?”
“Nobody,” he replied. “Russia can’t do it. The United States. Nobody can do it.”
The conversation took a serious turn when Joe Rogan pointed out that “a lot of weirdness” happened in the 2020 election, “particularly with mail-in ballots.”
He appropriately mentioned that before 2020, it was “common“ to question the election results because “no one thinks [election fraud] is 0%.”
“I've never met one person—not a super liberal progressive, far-left person, or a right-wing conservative—not one person thinks it's zero percent,” Rogan said.
Responding to Kamala Harris comparing Trump to Hitler, he blasted the vice president, calling her “a very low IQ person.”
Trump held so much confidence in Kamala’s lack of intelligence that he challenged her to prove otherwise by taking an IQ test, pointing out that she completely fell apart during her softball interview with Anderson Cooper.
“She took two days off, and she studied and studied all day long, and then she comes out with a result. That was a real embarrassment,” Trump bashed.
Rogan dropped a viral take when he declared that Republicans are now “punk rock” and “the rebels” of society.
“You want to be punk rock? You want to buck the system?” Rogan asked. “You are conservative now,” he confidently stated.
“The liberals are now pro-silencing criticism. They are pro-censorship. They talk about regulating free speech. It's bananas to watch," Rogan lamented.

Trump didn’t hesitate to announce that he is “completely committed” to having Robert Kennedy Jr. in his administration.
He even came prepared with a chart that shows America's life expectancy is DROPPING while other countries don't have the same problem.
Trump revealed that his only concern about Kennedy is his environmental views.
“The only thing I want to be a little careful about with him is the environmental [stuff] because he doesn’t like oil. I love oil and gas,” Trump said with a smile.
“Just keep him out of that!” Rogan replied. “There’s plenty of good work that could be done if you focus on health.”
Going further, Trump outed Big Pharma and revealed that they were “not thrilled” when they heard RFK Jr. would be joining the Trump administration.
This moment came when Rogan asked Trump, “Do you have anyone that is pressuring you to not work with him?”—to which Trump replied with a clear “Yes.”
“That [life expectancy] chart is a terrible chart. It's such a bad chart when you look at where we are compared to other countries that don't spend 10 cents [per dollar we do] ... But yeah. I've had some people that aren't exactly thrilled,” Trump said.
Some viewers were left stunned as Rogan agreed with Trump that there were at least two undeniable instances of election interference in 2020.
The first one was the Russia collusion hoax, where it was purported that Trump was a “Russian asset.”
The major instance of election interference was the Hunter Biden laptop story. Twitter 1.0 removed links to the story, while 51 former intelligence agents dismissed it as “Russian disinformation.”
“And the only reason why they got away with this lie was because they continually labeled you as this horrible threat to democracy and Hitler,” Rogan said.
“They kept saying you were going to be a dictator, ignoring the fact that you weren't a dictator for the four years when you were actually the president.”
The most hilarious moment of the night dropped when Trump candidly asked Rogan, “Can you imagine Kamala doing this show?”
Rogan replied, "I could imagine her doing this show," but Trump pushed back, insisting that if Kamala dared to engage in an unscripted three-hour conversation, she'd be lying on the floor unconscious, needing a medic.
Democrats suffered a devastating blow when Rogan concluded that the “only thing that makes sense” for why Dem politicians would oppose voter ID is because “they want to cheat.”
A shocking new Gallup poll recently showed that 84% of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote.
This includes 67% of Democrats who support the measure.
Meanwhile, Dem politicians strongly oppose voter IDs, which tells you that they care more about cheating than secure elections.
Trump broadcasted a major move, announcing that the JFK files would be released “almost immediately” when he takes office.
Rogan probed Trump about why he never opened them up during his first term, and Trump responded that certain people “asked [him] not to do it.”
“I can't tell you whether or not they're going to find anything of interest... But I was asked not to do it, and I thought that was a reasonable ask. But now I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it very soon,” Trump said.
The conversation took an interesting turn when Rogan asked Trump if he believes aliens exist, to which Trump replied, “There's no reason not to.”
Trump told Rogan, “I interviewed jet pilots that were solid people... And they said, ‘We saw things that were very strange, like a round ball. But it wasn't a comet or a meteor. It was something. And it was going four times faster than an F-22,’ which is a very fast plane.”
In the final moments, Trump asked, “How long have we been talking?” Rogan’s producer, Jamie, revealed it had been a whopping three hours.
With a speech looming, Trump told Rogan, “It’s been an honor,” calling him a “fascinating guy” and promising, “We’ll do it again.”
“I’m going to make a great speech, and I’m going to say, if I’m a little off tonight, I’m going to blame you,” Trump quipped.
With a big smile, he said with astonishment, “I spoke to this guy for three hours.”

#10 - Tucker Carlson has two theories why Pam Bondi won’t release the Epstein Files.
Theory #1: “Trump is involved.”
But Tucker thinks this explanation is not very likely.
That brings us to Theory #2, which is that Tucker believes the “intel services are at the very center of this story—US and Israeli—and they’re being protected.”
“I think that seems like the most plausible explanation,” Carlson said.
His guest Saagar Enjeti agreed. “That’s the most obvious explanation.”
He explained that the CIA has a long history of “multiple documented cases of ped*philia inside the CIA perpetrated by CIA officers.”
“The only time they actually prosecuted somebody for child p*rnography was when he was already being prosecuted for mishandling classified information,” he added.
“Well, when they want to crush you, they put kiddie p*rn on your computer,” Carlson replied.
The clip ended with a reference to a chilling quote by Former CIA Counterintelligence Official Daniel Payne, in which he said:
On government devices, “the amount of child p*rn I see is just unbelievable.”

#8 - Trump says it is “unbelievable” that people are still talking about Jeffrey Epstein after all these years.
“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years… That is unbelievable. Do you want to waste the time [answering this, Pam Bondi]?… I can’t believe you’re asking a question on Epstein at a time like this.”
Pam Bondi added, “THAT’S IT on Epstein.”
This two-minute clip shared by @DiligentDenizen captured the full context, and Trump supporters aren’t happy.
Democrat Party rhetoric against ICE and Border Patrol finally boiled over....and turned violent.
Agents were ambushed in McAllen, Texas today, just as Tom Homan had warned.
But Stephen Miller just EXPOSED the irrefutable reason Democrats are at war with ICE and enforcing immigration laws.
🧵 THREAD
What happened in McAllen, Texas, on Monday wasn’t just another isolated shooting.
It was the culmination of months of inflamed Democrat rhetoric finally crossing a dangerous line.
Authorities say a 27-year-old man, equipped with a rifle and tactical gear, ambushed Border Patrol agents at the entrance of their sector annex.
The attacker, later identified as Ryan Luis Mosqueda, exchanged fire with agents and local police before being killed.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, two officers....including one shot in the knee....and a Border Patrol employee were injured in the chaos.
This was the direct result of relentless anti-ICE messaging from the Democrats and the media, that have portrayed Border Patrol agents as villains rather than public servants.
But just hours later, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about Democrat calls for violence which led to this very incident.
A reporter brought up the ambush: citing radical Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal’s recent comment that she gets “inspired” when activists obstruct ICE, he asked whether the administration wanted Democrats to moderate their language.
Karoline Leavitt’s answer was direct and unapologetic.
“We certainly call on Democrats to tone down their rhetoric against ICE and Border Patrol agents, who again, are everyday men and women,” she said.
It wasn’t just a call for civility, but for understanding.
All Americans have a job to do.
“I would encourage it AOC and other Democrats to actually meet with the United States Border Patrol.”
“These are honorable Americans who are just simply trying to do their job to enforce the law. They go home to their families every night just like we all do, and they deserve respect and dignity for trying to enforce our nation's immigration laws and to remove public safety threats from our communities.”
Leavitt confirmed that the White House was following developments in McAllen closely, working with federal agencies to understand exactly what led to the shooting.
EXCLUSIVE: Rescue Pilot Exposes the Horrific Truth About Texas Floods
Something is deeply wrong in Texas. Officials won’t tell you how bad it really is.
We spoke to the rescue pilot who watched families beg for help.
What he revealed will leave you outraged.
🧵 THREAD
Over the 4th of July weekend, Central Texas was hit with catastrophic flash floods—the worst of it being in Kerrville.
First, we want to offer our heartfelt condolences to everyone who lost loved ones. Our prayers are with the families, emergency services, volunteers, and everyone involved in the recovery efforts across this battered region.
There have also been questions about weather modification operations in the area, which we’ll be discussing later in the broadcast.
Joining us first is private helicopter pilot Gary Heavin, who has been on the ground helping with the response. He’ll share what he’s seen firsthand and explain how it compares to the prior tragedy in North Carolina, which he also assisted in.
The conversation began with Heavin sharing a haunting story about piloting a search and rescue mission with a grieving father as they combed the riverbank for the body of his 17-year-old daughter.
“To see this man's courage… was just a terrible thing,” he said, his voice breaking. “It was tough for me to hold it together,” he added. Just an hour before the interview, he received the devastating news that they had finally found her body.
The exchange was raw and deeply emotional, laying bare the unimaginable pain these families are enduring.
It was a stark reminder of the devastating human toll these deadly floods have left behind.
#10 - OOPS: CNN guest accidentally says the quiet part about Epstein out loud.
“There is about a minute missing [from the Epstein cell footage] between 11:58 PM and 58 seconds and 12 AM, the night that Epstein was apparently KILLED — or died.”
This comment came from Alex Isenstadt. He’s the Axios reporter who broke the story about the internal memo in which the DOJ and FBI concluded that Epstein died by suicide and had no client blackmail list.
Even he seemed unconvinced by the official narrative.
See the next 9 stories below.

#9 - Just 30 days ago, Vice President @JDVance said, “Seriously, we need to release the Epstein list.”
Now, it “doesn’t exist,” according to the DOJ. What changed?

@JDVance @ClaytonMorris #8 - Pilot reveals horrors of Texas floods, says his rescue team was ordered to stand down as rivers filled with bodies and terrified families begged for help.
The Epstein client list was supposed to be SITTING on Pam Bondi’s desk for review.
But months later, the DOJ says no such list even exists.
Karoline Leavitt was just asked why there was such a reversal in so little time.
Her responses today are raising eyebrows.
🧵 THREAD
On February 21st, Pam Bondi told the world the Epstein client list was “sitting on [her] desk right now to review,” explaining it was part of a directive ordered by President Trump.
Shortly afterward, she and Kash Patel pledged to end the Epstein cover-up, promising to fully disclose the Epstein files to the public, hold accountable any government officials who withheld key evidence, and investigate why critical documents had been hidden in the first place.
But ever since late February, it seems the cover-up wasn’t exposed but buried even deeper by those who promised transparency.
First, they handed out the so-called “Epstein files” to influencers like golden Willy Wanka tickets, only for everyone to discover that almost all of the contents inside were already public and contained no new revelations.
