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.”

The same question gets asked every time another massive AI data center is announced: what exactly are they building this for?
Most people are just using AI to search the internet faster, summarize emails, or generate memes. Yet governments and corporations are racing to build infrastructure that consumes staggering amounts of land, energy, water, and computing power, as if the future depends on it.
The official explanation doesn’t seem proportional to the scale of what’s being built. And once you watch @zeeemedia connect the dots on Digital Twins, it all starts to make sense… 🧵
People already know they’re being tracked.
Your searches, your location, your purchases, your viewing habits, even the amount of time you stop on a video, all of it is constantly being collected. But @zeeemedia's new report highlights something much bigger than ordinary surveillance: the creation of a digital version of society itself.
The report points to the Department of Energy’s new “Genesis Mission,” designed to accelerate the AI computing revolution. Maria immediately noted the symbolism. Genesis is the story of creation, and critics believe these systems are moving toward recreating human behavior inside centralized AI networks.
Digital Twins are publicly marketed as tools for engineering, infrastructure, and disaster prevention. The concern begins when the technology shifts from modeling bridges and cities to modeling people themselves, including their habits, routines, movements, preferences, and decisions.
Maria described futurists openly discussing a world where physical interaction becomes less necessary, where you “hug” family members through holograms while embedded technology simulates touch itself.
Once behavior, movement, emotion, and interaction are being mapped in real time, the technology stops feeling like a simple convenience tool.
Maria tied Digital Twins directly into the wider infrastructure already being built around smart cities, CBDCs, AI surveillance, climate systems, and digital ID.
Once you understand that, the scale of the global data center explosion starts making a lot more sense.
History shows when money can be created without limits, purchasing power tends to go one direction, down.
That’s the system most people are in today, and it’s why more families are looking at gold and silver as a way to protect what they’ve built.
Over 40 million Americans take statins, not realizing they’re depleting the “most vital nutrient for the heart.”
Statins are pushed to reduce cholesterol, but they also severely deplete CoQ10, a critical compound for energy.
And when the body is starved of CoQ10, your cells begin struggling to produce energy. Muscles weaken. Fatigue sets in. And the heart itself can start losing the fuel it depends on to keep beating efficiently.
Dr. Stephen Sinatra was a “choir boy for cholesterol” until a 1993 study exposed the unsettling CoQ10-depleting effects of statins.
“Didn’t make any sense,” he said.
“How could the most vital nutrient for the heart be knocked out of the box? The heart requires COQ10 for survival.”
In his own practice, Dr. Sinatra began to notice that he “wasn’t seeing a correlation of heart problems with higher cholesterol.”
He eventually concluded everything he thought he knew about cholesterol was a “myth.”
“Cholesterol is not the villain of heart health” we’ve been told. 🧵

The more you dig into modern medicine, the more you realize how often “settled science” isn’t actually settled. It’s simply been rigged to build an industry.
In the 1960s and ’70s, two scientists squared off over the cause of heart disease.
John Yudkin pointed to sugar while Ancel Keys blamed saturated fat and cholesterol.
Keys won the battle, and his seven countries study became gospel.
But Yudkin didn’t just lose. He was ridiculed into obscurity.
This 75-year-old man, who’s been blind since birth, suddenly regained his eyesight after using DMSO to treat sinusitis.
It cleared his sinuses “instantly,” Murray says, but what it did to his sight was “unbelievable.”
For the first time in his life, he was finally able to see color in his left eye.
And when he kept using DMSO, his vision kept improving: He could make out details and even count fingers, something he “could never do before.”
It might sound like a coincidence, but DMSO has been repeatedly shown to heal eye issues medicine still can’t solve, like blindness, macular degeneration, floaters and cataracts.
It’s Big Pharma’s worst nightmare. And it’s hiding in plain sight for just $20 a bottle. 🧵
This information comes from the work of medical researcher @MidwesternDoc.
For all the sources and details, read the full report below:
A registered nurse with 30 years of experience treating chronic pain says she saw “TEN TIMES” the positive effects after mixing DMSO with castor oil to treat her peripheral neuropathy.
Castor oil on its own has anti-inflammatory effects, but adding the DMSO is where she says it “got interesting.”
That’s because DMSO “isn’t just a treatment, it’s a carrier,” Danielle Minetti explained.
“It can pull medications and nutrients right through the skin barrier deep into the body.”
That’s why when Danielle mixed DMSO with castor oil, she saw “ten times” the positive results.
Because DMSO acts as the delivery system, carrying the castor oil deeper into the areas where she needs relief most.
DMSO is a naturally occurring compound that is primarily derived as a byproduct of the wood pulp and paper industry, which makes it widely and affordably available.
But that also creates a problem...
Because if a treatment can’t be patented, Big Pharma can’t profit.
And that simple reality is where the DMSO story takes a dark turn.
So what happened to DMSO, and why is a substance that is so medically promising still relatively unknown to this day?
Let’s take a closer look. 🧵
The real story isn’t whether or not DMSO worked.
The real story is how a low-cost, widely available substance became an early case study in medical distrust.
Regulators suddenly restricted it. Doctors dismissed it.
But patients kept using it.
And once that happened, official medicine no longer controlled the story.
DMSO was discovered in 1866 by a Russian chemist, then largely forgotten.
In the 1950s, the paper industry needed new solvents. Dimethyl sulfide from wood pulping could be oxidized into DMSO.
That industrial turn set up one of the most unusual medical controversies of the 20th century!
The FDA knew the COVID shots would kill and maim countless Americans.
They kept injecting anyway.
One government employee tried to sound the alarm about “49 examples” of deadly side effects that conventional safety analyses weren’t detecting.
She was shut down.
Her name was Dr. Ana Szarfman.
On March 1, 2021, less than three months after the rollout of the COVID-19 injections, Dr. Ana Szarfman, an employee at CDER and safety data mining developer, warned that the FDA’s existing system could hide vaccine safety signals due to a flaw called “masking.”
She proposed a newer method developed by statistician Dr. William DuMouchel that corrected for this issue and, when applied, detected “49 examples of extreme masking” that the standard system did not.
These “49 examples of extreme masking” include not “minor” but serious adverse events:
• Bell’s palsy
• Cardiac failure
• Acute left ventricular failure
• Agonal rhythm (severe end-of-life arrhythmia)
• Pulmonary infarction
• Cerebral artery occlusion
• Aortic stenosis
• Sudden cardiac death
• Hypertensive emergency
• Basal ganglia stroke
When Dr. Szarfman proposed a new method, she was told to “hold off on creating and sending data mining reports and analyses.”
Later, they “made it clear” that she “needs to focus on her assigned work” and “should not be discussing or providing internal analyses externally.”
As Dr. Szarfman puts it, her work became a “pest” for raising concerns about safety signal masking.
In September 2021, Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA's top vaccine official, decided that Dr. Szarfman’s COVID vaccine data-mining days were over.
He informed Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni, the then director of CDER, that Dr. Szarfman “has been asked to cease and desist conducting her data analysis.”
Dr. Marks complained that Dr. Szarfman’s work had become “a major distraction” and that her efforts could “create erroneous conflicts that feed into anti-vaccination rhetoric.”
Dr. Szarfman went on to retire from the FDA in 2025 after more than 35 years of service.
She raised concerns about safety signal masking. The FDA essentially told her to shut up.
Because in their eyes, “49 examples of extreme masking” could create “erroneous conflicts” and fuel “vaccine hesitancy.”
Unfortunately, this is not a one-off instance. It’s part of a much deeper problem: the gap between what’s known internally and what’s allowed to reach the public. 🧵
For years, Americans were told the COVID vaccines were “safe and effective.”
Not mostly safe.
Not partially effective.
Not still being studied.
Safe. Effective. Full stop.
The message was absolute, repeated by government officials, doctors, media outlets, hospitals, employers, schools, and nearly every major institution in the country.
But internal records now suggest something very different was being discussed behind the scenes.
The story is no longer just about whether the COVID vaccines caused harm.
That debate has been raging for years.
The bigger question is what federal health agencies knew, when they knew it, and why the public was told a much different story than the one officials were discussing behind closed doors.
Senator Ron Johnson’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations obtained thousands of pages of subpoenaed HHS records.
The investigation and subpoenaed records suggest that the CDC and FDA were aware of serious safety signals involving myocarditis and strokes, yet continued pushing the vaccines while downplaying the risks.
That’s the part we can’t ignore.
Vaccine trust was built on a very simple promise.
The government said the products had been carefully tested, monitored, and transparently evaluated.
If a serious safety issue appeared, the public would be told.
But according to the records Johnson released, that isn’t how the COVID vaccine rollout worked. Not even close.
Republicans are once again teaming up with Democrats to ram Digital ID through at the federal level.
The bill they’ve just introduced is, if you can believe it, worse than all the others before it.
HR 8250, deceptively named the Parents Decide Act, doesn’t just force everyone to link their identity to use apps on their phones, it mandates that they must do it to use ANY operating system. That means Apple, iOS, Windows, Google, Android, even Samsung—basically everything.
And once that’s in place, there’s nowhere to step outside of it.
But one brave group is refusing to go along.
GrapheneOS has made a statement saying: GrapheneOS will remain usable by anyone around the world without requiring personal information, identification, or an account.
@glennmeder from PrivacyAcademy.com/Pulse has been working to educate people on how to escape the digital control grid, including how to put GrapheneOS on your phone—for free. And they have a solution to Digital ID right now.
He joins us to discuss. 🧵
You’ve seen this pattern before.
When the same thing starts appearing everywhere at once, it’s usually not random.
A new push for Digital ID laws isn’t happening in just one place. With bills like the Parents Decide Act (HR 8250), it’s now moving directly into the systems we use every day. It’s happening in a very coordinated way across countries, across platforms, and now, at the operating system level.
This isn’t about regulating a few apps anymore. The focus has moved underneath them—to the operating system itself—the software that runs your phone and computer. @GlennMeder described it plainly, they’re trying to “lock it down on an operating system level,” because that’s the one layer you can’t avoid.
Apps can be swapped. Accounts can be deleted.
But if access to the operating system requires Digital ID, there’s nowhere left to step outside of it.
That’s the inflection point.
Glenn called it “the hill to die on,” not because of how it looks today, but because of what it enables once it’s in place. In his words, this isn’t just verification, it’s the foundation for removing privacy and building a system that monitors “everything we say.”
He warned it would “change instantly,” the kind of shift you only recognize after it’s already locked in.
Access to your phone. Your apps. Your accounts. All tied to one digital identity.
And once that becomes the standard, stepping outside of it stops being an option.
Your phone is a surveillance Trojan Horse.
Big Tech and Big Brother have colluded together to create a spyware monopoly.
Your phone tracks your location at all times, who you text, what you read, whether you’re skeptical person or not, how you spend your money and where your finances are stored... This list could go on forever.
