Joe Rogan convinced Donald Trump 'knows something' about controversial topic but is keeping it secret

Joe Rogan has suggested that he believes US President Donald Trump knows something about a secretive topic.

Rogan, 57, hosts the hugely popular ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast alongside commentating on UFC events and being a comedian.

And he is not afraid to give his take on most topics – namely sports, American politics and even science depending on who is sitting opposite him during his podcast episodes.

When speaking to filmmaker James Fox on episode #2246 of the podcast, which was released in December 2024, Rogan made a huge claim about Trump, 78, and his predecessors.

“When I confronted Mr Trump, he was very cagey,” said Rogan during a conversation about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) – commonly known as UFOs.

“Very cagey.”

The 57-year-old then continued to explain how he felt Trump had hinted that he had seen or heard things related to UAPs but could not confirm the exact details.

“He basically neither confirmed or denied,” Rogan added. “I think he knows something. I don’t think he’s that interested ... He’s sort of a no-nonsense type of guy.”

The President sat down with Rogan during his election campaign and discussed several topics during the pair’s three-hour-long conversation in October 2024.

Unsurprisingly, aliens were one of many topics talked about by the duo.

“There's no reason not to think that Mars and all these planets don’t have life,” said Trump.

“I don't think there's any life there,” Rogan said, before Trump replied: “Well, maybe it's life that we don't know, but maybe it's a different kind of life.”

So, what is Trump’s position on UFOs?

Well, according to UFO expert Dr Steven Greer, the President could be ready to ‘expose’ information about UFO/UAPs.

As reported by the Mail in February, Greer is a driving force behind the UFO disclosure movement and even claimed the Trump administration is ‘considering’ exposing information on the topic.

“With the new president, I've been working with a number of people close to him, encouraging a number of executive orders to launch this sort of investigation, provide whistleblower blower protection, and action,” said Greer, who is a retired physician.

“The ones I'm working with are waiting to see what the new administration does, what the new Congress does, the way to see if there's lethal or legal push back from these covert operation,” he added.
