Former President Donald Trump sat down for the Joe Rogan podcast for three hours Friday evening for a freewheeling conversation about issues ranging from the economy to the environment to the stakes of the upcoming election as well taking the opportunity to relitigate the 2020 one, partially blaming judges for not overturning the 2020 election results.
Trump got combative with Rogan when Rogan asked why Trump didn't publish comprehensive evidence of fraud he claims was going on in 2020. Trump said that he did, but falsely argued he lost because judges "didn't have what it took."
"The judges don't want to touch it. They would say, you don't have standing," Trump said. "They didn't rule on the merits. They ruled the merits never got there. The judges didn't have what it took to turn over an election."
Trump once again pushed for single day voting and paper ballots, spreading fears about voting machines as people head to the polls.
"Right now, we have the sophisticated machine that goes up to heaven. It goes all over the place and down and around, and they say we'll need two weeks to figure out who the hell won the election," Trump said. "Unless you have paper ballots, it can never be an honest election. That's a big statement. We should go to paper ballots."
Trump also said that if Harris loses the election it'll be because of the Democrats not holding a primary and choosing Gov. Tim Walz as vice president.
