According to Politico who had the inside track with an anonymous source within Joe Rogan’s team, the interview will happen this Friday at Rogan’s podcast studio in Austin.
And don’t forget — for all you Joe Rogan listeners out there, as awesome as it is to have repeat guests who are already familiar with Joe’s interview style… there’s NOTHING like the first time a high-profile personality sits down with Rogan; and President Trump has never been on the show! (This is going to be epic!)
The interview will take place at Rogan’s studio in Austin, Texas, according to a person familiar with the plans who was granted anonymity to discuss the matter.
Trump has never appeared on Rogan’s podcast and the two have had a complicated relationship. In August, Trump called out Rogan after the podcaster claimed that politicians on both sides are manipulative except for Robert Kennedy Jr., who at the time was running for president.
ADVERTISEMENT“It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC Ring??? MAGA2024″ Trump posted of Rogan, who is a UFC commentator.
Rogan himself has been critical of Trump in the past. In July 2022, he called the former president an “existential threat to democracy.” Yet Rogan has more recently been complimentary of Trump, saying last month that the economy under Trump “did really well and he really did try to cut some of the bullshit down that’s going on in this country.”
Trump and Rogan have also had friendly moments in recent months, such as when they have greeted each other at UFC events. The two also have mutual allies — a group that includes RFK, who endorsed Trump after dropping his presidential bid, and tech billionaire Elon Musk.
Here’s that iconic moment mentioned in the Politico story. I just so happened to have it ready to go. I remember thinking when I saw this handshake… it would happen. Sooner or later, President Trump would be sitting down with Joe Rogan — and podcast history would be made.
This has the potential for being the biggest — most listened to / downloaded — podcast of all time.

Of course, not EVERYONE is happy that the emerging Presidential frontrunner is going on the biggest podcast on the planet… only days from Election Day.

Kamala Harris has also reportedly been approached with an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast in view, but according to Fox News, the Harris-Walz campaign doesn’t seem quite as exuberant at the prospect of… talking in front of cameras for an extended period of time with an interviewer they can’t control. (That’s my amplification of the story on Fox News, anyway.)
“The Joe Rogan Experience” boasts the largest podcast audience in the United States and gives Trump another chance to court younger, male voters, which makes up the majority of Rogan’s audience. Rogan’s show has 17.5 million subscribers on YouTube and more than 14 million followers on Spotify.
Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have made numerous stops at influential podcasts during the campaign season. Harris recently appeared on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, which has the largest female American audience, to discuss women’s issues. Trump has been a guest on such shows as Barstool Sports’ “Bussin with the Boys,” “Full Send,” and Patrick Bet-David’s podcast.
Rogan’s show has reportedly been in talks about an interview with Harris, although no interview has been set with two weeks to go before Election Day.
Although Rogan hasn’t always been pro-Trump (he’s been anti-Trump at times!), recently he has often waxed poetic about the good old days with President Trump in office vs the Biden-Harris train wreck.
During a previous episode when Rogan started talking about Trump, he admitted very clearly that under the Biden-Harris regime… the world has become a much more scary place in every way.

President Trump has been teasing a sit-down with Rogan for awhile now, according to a report in The Hill, with President Trump calling Joe Rogan a “good guy” not long ago – having known him primarily through short interactions at UFC events that Trump often attends.
Trump teased a potential sit-down with Rogan earlier this month, calling him “good guy,” and praising him for “being so well known” for being a UFC promoter.
ADVERTISEMENTThe former president has been spurring interviews with mainstream media outlets in recent weeks, instead opting to participate in conversations and friendly interviews with online influencers, podcast hosts and conservative cable news segments.
Vice President Harris’s campaign has also reportedly been meeting with Rogan’s team about the possibility of a potential interview in the final days before the Nov. 5 election.
Rogan is one of the most popular and controversial media personalities in the country, with each of his episodes earning millions of downloads and often features conversations with top newsmakers.
So… there we have it. The sit-down is definitely happening, and my guess is we’ll see the episode drop within a few days — judging by how fast Rogan tends to turn his interviews around for distribution.
As an avid podcast listener, I can’t wait to hear this interview! As awesome as Trump was on Gutfeld, and as amazing as it is to hear him sit down and talk off-the-cuff ANYTIME… with ANYONE… I don’t think anything is going to compare with this podcast. I fully expect it to be nothing short of EPIC.
