On his podcast, the right-wing host said, “I look at people I trust. Now I'm going to start with two clips from Joe Rogan because I know many of you trust Joe Rogan.”

GRANT STINCHFIELD (HOST): I have been seeing a lot about whether or not we walked on the moon. This conspiracy theory that in 1969, Neil Armstrong and crew never set foot on the moon, that it was a Hollywood sound stage. Even a point that what's his name? Stanley [Kubrick], I think, was the one who orchestrated the videoing of all of this. I don't know if any of this is true. And so what I'm gonna do is something most conservative talk show hosts don't do. Usually, I take a definitive position on everything, and I pride myself on that. I'm not going to do that today. I'm going to go through the evidence that shows we didn't walk on the moon, but I'm going to give you some evidence that shows we did and then let you decide. But I will say this. There's a lot of evidence that raises a lot of questions for me thinking about whether or not we walked on the moon or not.

Was the moon landing a big giant hoax? I see evidence that it could have been. I really do, and I look at people I trust. Now I'm going to start with two clips from Joe Rogan because I know many of you trust Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan has not been a right-wing conspiracy theorist since the beginning of time. He's not Alex Jones. I'm not going to play you him, even though Alex Jones does some pretty darn good work. But I want to play this as straight as possible. OK? So you can see what I'm assessing when it comes to whether or not we landed on the moon. First clip from Joe Rogan. Let's go.

JOE ROGAN (PODCASTER): Press conference from 1969 when they return from the moon is one of the most cryptic, weird things you'll ever see. These guys look like they just stole something and they're being questioned. It's the — it's — I've never seen a video where people look like they're more full of shit than that video of the press conference from 1969. It's weird, man. It's weird. They're like fidgety and looking nervous, like they're getting away with something.

STINCHFIELD: Well, who benefits from it? It's an easy question. The United States does. Remember, we were in a Cold War with Russia, and this is really the beginning moving into the depths of the Cold War. And the Space Race was really looked at as whoever would win the Space Race would win the Cold War. And so that's Nixon and crew saying, “Hey. We got to get to the moon first.” So were they lying to us about it? Was this a military psyop?
