Joe Rogan with Donald Trump podcast: revealed why he decided to interview former President Donald Trump after declining the conversation for years.
Rogan, who hosts The Joe Rogan Experience, the most watched show in the world, claims that when Trump was shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the “timing was perfect” to invite him to appear on his show.
The disclosure from the former UFC analyst occurred during Friday’s much anticipated appearance on The JRE, when Trump described the presidency as a “very dangerous business” while discussing a variety of political and cultural topics.
He referred to the August podcast interview between Trump and comedian Theo Von, which was followed by an appearance on the same show by Sen. JD Vance, the GOP presidential candidate’s running mate.
“Is that why you called me to do this,” Trump asked Rogan with a smile.
“No,” Rogan reacted. “Once they shot you I was like ‘he’s gotta come in here.’”
Stressing that “it’s all about timing”, he added, the “timing is perfect”.

Trump opens up about his ear injury
After firefighter Corey Comperatore was killed by 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks during his July 13 event in Pennsylvania, the focus quickly shifted to Trump’s injuries.
Rogan asked whether Trump’s ear was scarred.
The GOP presidential candidate displayed the wound behind his right ear and remarked, “It zicked right there.”
Rogan responded, “It healed up pretty f–king good.”
The interview on Friday follows years of Rogan turning down several chances to invite Trump on his popular show.
Appearing on Lex Fridman Podcast in 2022, Rogan stated: “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.”
He went on to declare that he is not a Trump supporter.
Joe Rogan hopes Kamala Harris appears on his show
Regarding the future, Rogan made reference to his attempts to recruit Vice President Kamala Harris to appear on his podcast, but he stated that she has not yet finalized a date.
Following his remarks, Trump targetted his Democratic rival and quipped, “Can you imagine Kamala doing this show? She’d be lying on the floor.”
In response, Rogan insisted that he wants Harris on his show, stating “I would talk to her like a human being and try to have a conversation with her.”
Making a bizarre prediction of the Democratic rival. Trump claimed if Harris “did this kind of interview with you, I hope she does because t would be a mess.”
