UFC commentator Joe Rogan and former President Donald Trump are two of the most popular figures in America. For many years, there has been speculation about why Rogan and Trump have not done a podcast episode together. Interestingly, a technical error delayed its release on public platforms when they finally recorded one.
The news of Donald Trump attending the Joe Rogan Experience podcast created a buzz. After recording the episode, Rogan shared a video of himself with Trump, confirming that the recording was complete. This generated excitement among fans eagerly awaiting the episode’s release on public platforms. Initially, it was uploaded to YouTube; however, Rogan later took it down and clarified the reasons for doing so.
There is no issue with YouTube censoring the trump episode. It was just supposed to go live on both Spotify and YouTube at the same time and there was a glitch in Spotify’s upload system and so we delisted the YouTube link until it’s fixed. It should be fine now.

Many in the general public believed that YouTube and Google intentionally tried to silence Trump ahead of the elections. As such, they weren’t happy about it and started speculating on various things until Rogan clarified. The ex-POTUS and Republican candidate has a good reputation in the United States. It is mostly due to his honesty and straightforward opinions on issues affecting Americans’ lives.

Like Trump, Rogan explores various societal norms and controversial topics during his podcast episodes. This has generated considerable curiosity among American citizens about the subjects that might arise in a conversation between these two influential figures. Although it seems like Rogan is engaging with Trump for the first time, he had previously declined to invite the ex-POTUS on multiple occasions.
When Joe Rogan publicly stated that he would not have Donald Trump on his podcast
The Joe Rogan Experience is one of the most popular podcast shows in the United States. Since its first episode, the show has grown significantly and is now part of a partnership deal worth approximately $250 million with Spotify. It has attracted a lot of interest from the public due to its diverse range of guests from various fields. However, one area that Rogan consistently avoids is politics.
The UFC commentator has consistently been straightforward about his views on political leaders during his show. In light of this, Rogan publicly stated that he did not want to invite Donald Trump, who is currently one of the most popular politicians in America, onto his show. While stating that, the UFC commentator also mentioned that he is not a pro-republican.
By the way, 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…

This case dates back to 2022. Currently, Rogan frequently praises Trump. As such, they even recorded a podcast episode together. Although the episode was temporarily taken down, it is now available again on both Spotify and YouTube.
