Trump appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast for nearly three hours: Here are the top moments

Former President Trump taped "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast for nearly three hours on Friday. 

The podcast, recorded in Austin, Texas, afforded the Republican presidential nominee exposure to Rogan's 14.5 million followers on Spotify and 17.6 million followers on YouTube. Rogan, the nation's most-listened-to podcast host, is extremely influential with young male voters, who Trump is aiming to reach. 

Here are the top takeaways from the podcast that aired on Friday. 

Trump told Rogan that he regretted some of the appointments he made in his first term. 

"The one question that you'll ask me that I think you'll ask me that people seem to ask - and I always come up with the same answer - if I, the one mistake because I had a lot of success, great economy, great everyth, everything was great with the military rebuilt the biggest tax cuts in history, all the stuff we did, we had a great presidency," Trump said. "Three Supreme Court justices. Most people get none. You know, you pick them young this way. They're there for 50 years. Right. So, you know, even if a president is there for eight years, oftentimes they never have a chance. I had three. It was the luck of the draw.""But I will say that it always comes back to the same answer," Trump said. "The biggest mistake I made was I picked some people, I picked some great people, you know, but you don't think about that. I picked some people that I shouldn't have picked. I picked a few people that I shouldn't have picked." "And neocons," Rogan said. 

"Yeah, neocons or bad people or disloyal people," Trump said. 

While explaining the process of choosing political nominations once he got into office, Trump discussed his initial appointment of John Bolton, who served as White House National Security adviser. In 2019, Trump fired Bolton, who remains a staunch critic. Trump described how Phil Ruffin, a fellow American businessman, warned him that Bolton was a "bad guy," but by then, Trump had already hired him.
