Donald Trump talked about his view on aliens in a three-hour Joe Rogan podcast released on Friday night.
Trump said hes never been a believer in theories about extraterrestrial life visiting Earth. He said he is asked constantly about what the U.S. government knows about the people coming from space, and that, as president, he was told a lot.
But he dodged Rogans entreaties to discuss alien life in detail. Theres no reason not to think that Mars and all these planets dont have life, Trump said. Rogan told him probes and rovers from Earth have shown theres no life there. Its not been a big thing for me, Trump replied. The nations most listened-to podcaster then pressed the former president on whether hes completely committed to bringing Robert F. Kennedy Jr., into his administration.

Oh, I completely am, Trump responded. But the only thing I want to be a little careful about with him is the environmental. Because he doesnt like oil, I love oil and gas. He said hell tell Kennedy to focus on health, do whatever you want. Trump said hes faced pressure not to work with Kennedy, citing big Pharma as one example.
Kennedy has been instrumental in spreading skepticism about vaccines, rejecting the overwhelming consensus among scientists that the benefits of inoculations outweigh the rare risk of side effects. He also claims pharmaceutical companies conspire to prevent health improvements because they make so much money selling drugs to people with chronic illnesses.
Rogan also is skeptical of vaccines. Trump noted that theyve come up with some amazing things such as the polio vaccine.
The podcast release came as Trump arrived to his Michigan rally three hours late, taking the stage at 10:30 p.m. exactly three hours after he was supposed to begin his rally in Traverse City, Michigan.
Hes apologizing to the crowd for keeping them waiting while he taped a marathon interview with Joe Rogan.
Trump is apologizing for arriving hours late to his Michigan rally, telling the crowd we got tied up and adding but were trying to win. He said he gave one of the longest interviews of his life with podcast host Joe Rogan.
Social media showed streams of people leaving before the rally because of the long delay. But the crowd was still large and raucous as Trump began speaking.
The former president was also interrupted more than once by audience members needing medical attention. After an extended delay where he stopped speaking and urged emergency personnel, Take your time, Trump suggested that organizers play a song while the crowd waited.
He ordered up Ave Maria, which began blaring out of the venues speakers.
It was reminiscent of a recent Trump town hall in Pennsylvania when medical attention required in the audience caused Trump to stop talking. He then swayed to Ave Maria and other songs for nearly 40 minutes. This time, after Ave Maria played, Trump resumed his speech.
