Joe Rogan stunned listeners on his podcast with comic Theo Von by suggesting extraterrestrials likely wouldn’t make a beeline for the president — and his reasoning is oddly mundane. Read on to discover the full story!
On the April 2, 2026 episode Rogan argued aliens wouldn’t necessarily head to the White House. He said it’s unlikely visitors would care who the human leader is and joked that Trump is “out there building a ballroom,” implying the former president wouldn’t be their priority. Rogan added he expects visitors to seek out military or nuclear sites instead.
Rogan suggested extraterrestrials would be drawn to places tied to weaponry or strategic installations, saying those sites might emit detectable signals relevant to their interests.
