JD Vance Floats 'Little Green Men' in 3-Hour Rogan Podcast

2 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Jul 21

Nearly two hours into a roughly three-hour Joe Rogan interview, Vice President JD Vance entertained talk of aliens, angels and demons, saying he would try to secretly photograph any "little green men" remains he encountered.
Vance also suggested a humanlike being with immense powers that tortures people could be called a demon rather than an alien, and said he was open to overlap among supernatural and extraterrestrial categories.
The exchange came amid a wider podcast that also touched on a debunked claim that the Los Angeles mayoral race was rigged, Biden-related conspiracy talk and Jeffrey Epstein.
The New York Times piece was published as an opinion column, framing the vice president's remarks as part of a broader pattern of conspiratorial and unserious public commentary.
