Wildly popular podcast host Joe Rogan is seemingly set to sit down with former president Donald Trump as the race for the White House enters its final few weeks.
The 57-year-old comedian and UFC commentator had previously said in 2022 that he would never have Trump on his podcast over fears it would help the Republican's campaign.
In recent times however, Rogan has somewhat changed his tune on having trump on his highly popular show 'The Joe Rogan Experience'.

Have Harris and Trump on together.
If Rogan invited Trump, he would accept in a heartbeat. Harris would be too chicken to participate, out of fear Rogan might ask some tough questions with appropriate follow up.
Rogan needs to invite Trump.
More downside than upside for Trump.
I hope to see him on the Hodge twins and PBD too.
Nope. Rogan is an "ordinary guy". But so far he's trying to remain neutral. It's business to him. Trying to appeal to all viewers.
I doubt Rogan will endorse Trump. But he may give him a platform so in a way, he's helping him out.
“More downside than upside for Trump.”
#########################
I strongly disagree. This is Trump’s milieu - an open, honest interview where he can discuss issues uninterrupted. He would love it.
This would be especially beneficial to Trump if Rogan disclosed he made good faith efforts to get Harris on the show, which I suspect he has, and disclosed she refused, which I suspect she has.
The soundbites and excerpts would doubtless be outstanding.
It is Rogan who would bear the risk of alienating the bigoted portion of his audience - the Leftists.
Isn’t a Rogan-Trump podcast just preaching to the choir? Aren’t most Rogan pod viewers pro-Trump anyway?
If so, I am not sure what Trump gains from this. What Rogan gains is obvious!
Yes, Rogans viewership is primarily young to middle aged males.
Which are already voting mostly for Trump.
However, it may help some undecided voters.
Similar to when Trump went on Gutfeld. Where Trump came across as a very likeable guy
The benefit for Roger is that it would most likely break the all time record for views of the JRE set by the second interview with Musk.
So, they both would benefit.
Plus Trump has already been on Lex Friedman, Shawn Ryan podcasts. I suspect Patrick Bet David and Megan are also calling Trump to do their shows.
Rogan already indirectly endorsed Trump when he endorsed RFK Jr.
Trump is winning. I agree more downside potential.
Trump is winning because he has the balls to go on TV or podcasts with anyone.
If you believe that Trump will stumble...welllllllll, pilgrim you got no faith in the man that we believe in.
That would be a good move too.
Rogan is in it for himself.
He is a pod caster that makes his living by self promotion. Which independent pod caster is not in it for themselves?
That is known as capitalism.
Trump is surging to a landslide. As much as I like Rogan it is an opportunity for Rogan to expand his audience at Trumps expense. Joe Rogan makes plenty of money. I prefer Trump wins.
Stuff Joe Rogan needs to consider - - what Biden/Harris did:

Bill Ackman
:
(1) open the borders to millions of immigrants who were not screened for their risk to the country, dumping them into communities where the new immigrants overwhelm existing communities and the infrastructure to support the new entrants, at the expense of the historic residents,
(2) introduce economic policies and massively increase spending without regard to their impact on inflation and the consequences for low-income Americans and the increase in our deficit and national debt,
(3) withdraw from Afghanistan, abandoning our local partners and the civilians who worked alongside us in an unprepared, overnight withdrawal that led to American casualties and destroyed the lives of Afghani women and girls for generations, against the strong advice of our military leadership, and thereafter not showing appropriate respect for their loss at a memorial ceremony in their honor,
(4) introduce thousands of new and unnecessary regulations in light of the existing regulatory regime that interfere with our businesses’ ability to compete, restraining the development of desperately needed housing, infrastructure, and energy production with the associated inflationary effects,
(5) modify the bail system so that violent criminals are released without bail,
(6) destroy our street retailers and communities and promote lawlessness by making shoplifting (except above large thresholds) no longer a criminal offense,
(7) limit and/or attempt to limit or ban fracking and LNG so that U.S. energy costs increase substantially and the U.S. loses its energy independence,
(8) promote DEI ideologies that award jobs, awards, and university admissions on the basis of race, sexual identity and gender criteria, and teach our students and citizens that the world can only be understood as an unfair battle between oppressors and the oppressed, where the oppressors are only successful due to structural racism or a rigged system and the oppressed are simply victims of an unfair system and world,
(9) educate our elementary children that gender is fluid, something to be chosen by a child, and promote hormone blockers and gender reassignment surgeries to our youth without regard to the longer-term consequences to their mental and physical health, and allow biological boys and men to compete in girls and women’s sports, depriving girls and women of scholarships, awards, and other opportunities that they would have rightly earned otherwise,
(10) encourage and celebrate massive protests and riots that lead to the burning and destruction of local retail and business establishments while at the same time requiring schools to be shuttered because of the risk of Covid-19 spreading during large gatherings,
(11) encourage and celebrate anti-American and anti-Israel protests and flag burning on campuses around the country with no consequences for the protesters who violate laws or university codes and policies,
(12) allow antisemitism to explode with no serious efforts from the administration to quell this hatred,
(13) mandate vaccines that have not been adequately tested nor have their risks been properly considered compared with the potential benefits adjusted for the age and health of the individual, censoring the contrary advice of top scientists around the world,
(14) shut down free speech in media and on social media platforms that is inconsistent with government policies and objectives,
(15) use the U.S., state, and local legal systems to attack and attempt to jail, take off the campaign trail, and/or massively fine candidates for the presidency without regard to the merits or precedential issues of the case,
(16) seek to defund the police and promote anti-police rhetoric causing a loss of confidence in those who are charged with protecting us,
(17) use government funds to subsidize auto companies and internet providers with vastly more expensive, dated and/or lower-quality technology when greatly superior and cheaper alternatives are available from companies that are owned and/or managed by individuals not favored by the current administration,
(18) mandate in legislation and otherwise government solutions to problems when the private sector can do a vastly better, faster, and cheaper job,
(19) seek to ban gas-powered cars and stoves without regard to the economic and practical consequences of doing so,
