The two presidential candidates are using very different media strategies in the final weeks of the campaign. Kamala Harris has been doing some traditional media, such as 60 Minutes, The View, and The Colbert Report, and outlets such as the Call Her Daddy podcast and The Howard Stern Show, which are less typical for a presidential candidate in the home stretch.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, has appeared on Fox News while also appearing on podcasts directed toward younger men. He appeared with Theo Von back in August, and this week, he appeared on the podcast Flagrant, where comedian Andrew Schulz interviewed him.

One surprising moment during the interview was when Trump described himself as “basically a truthful person,” and Schulz laughed in his face. The Kamala HQ X account shared the moment:

The interview itself went on for 90 minutes, with Trump discussing his assassination attempts, how he feels about his son Barron going to college in New York City, as well as his opinions of India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. His Modi answers made big news in the press in India.

NBC News reported in September that Barron Trump has been “helping his dad connect with toxic right-wing streamers.”

“We did three unusual — and I don’t know what you’d call them but it’s a platform — with three people that I don’t know, but three people that Barron knows very well,” Trump said of the show, per the NBC report. “[He] actually calls all of them like friends of his because it’s a different generation.”

There were some funny responses to Schulz’s laugh at Trump.
