In an upcoming twist that has caught the attention of both fans and critics, former President Donald Trump is slated to make an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” This news comes despite Rogan’s previous statements during a summer 2022 interview on the Lex Fridman Podcast seen by 10 million viewers, where he voiced his reluctance to host Trump.

Rogan, a well-known podcaster and UFC commentator, openly stated that he was not in support of Trump and had declined multiple offers to feature him on his show. “I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form. I’ve had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once. I’ve said no every time. I don’t want to help him. I’m not interested in helping him,” Rogan expressed.

The conversation between Rogan and Fridman delved into whether hosting controversial figures like Kanye West equates to endorsing their impact on societal discourse. Rogan differentiated West from Trump by highlighting the latter’s significant political influence: “Kanye’s an artist. Kanye doing well or not doing well doesn’t change the course of our country.”

Fridman questioned the weight of responsibility podcast hosts bear regarding their guests’ influence on national affairs, prompting Rogan to reflect on his interviews with Alex Jones. He noted that these discussions have led some viewers to reassess Jones favorably despite his controversial claims about events like the Sandy Hook school shooting.

The dialogue reached a pivotal moment when Fridman suggested that engaging with Trump could follow a similar rehabilitative trajectory, a notion Rogan found problematic due to the potential political ramifications.
