Controversial podcast host Joe Rogan revealed that he has turned down multiple offers to interview former President Donald Trump on his popular podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ because he is not a Trump supporter and is “not interested in helping him.”
“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,” Rogan said on the Lex Fridman podcast. “I’m not interested in helping him.”
Fridman predicted that Rogan will change will his mind given that he has hosted other controversial personalities like rapper Kanye West. Rogan drew a distinction, saying that West “doing well or not doing well doesn’t change the course of our country.”
Rogan called the Trump era “one of the weirder times when people look back historically about the division in this country,” adding that “he’s such a polarizing figure that so many people felt like they could abandon their own ethics and morals and principles just to attack him and anybody who supports him because he is an existential threat to democracy itself.”
Despite this Rogan still believes that Trump will run for office again.
“He’s going to run again,” he said, adding that he’d be “running against a dead man,” referring to President Joe Biden.
“You see him on Jimmy Kimmel the other day? He was just rambling. I mean, he’s — if he was anyone else, if he was a Republican, if that was Donald Trump doing that, every fucking talk show would be screaming for him to be off the air,” he said.
