Joe Rogan<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is set to interview\u00a0Donald\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>Trump\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>for\u00a0his podcast,\u00a0The Joe Rogan Experience<\/em>,\u00a0in his Austin, Texas-based studio this Friday, according to multiple media reports.<\/p>\n Rogan, the former host of NBC\u2019s mid-2000s reality game show\u00a0Fear Factor<\/em>, has approximately 17.5 million YouTube subscribers and 19.3 million Instagram followers. With around 15 million Spotify listeners, he reaches an impressive audience of about 52 million.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what to know about the relationship between the comedian and the Republican nominee.<\/p>\n Rogan, originally from New Jersey, is a multifaceted American comedian, podcast host, and mixed martial arts commentator. He first gained fame as a stand-up comedian and as a cast member on the TV show NewsRadio<\/em> in the 1990s. He later became widely known for hosting The Joe Rogan Experience<\/em>, his popular podcast that features long-form conversations with a diverse range of guests, including comedians, actors, scientists, and politicians. By 2020, he secured one of the largest licensing deals in the industry with Spotify, where he has continued to dominate the podcasting landscape.<\/p>\n In addition to his podcasting career, Rogan is a prominent commentator for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and has a strong background in martial arts, holding black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Taekwondo.<\/p>\n Trump has never appeared on Rogan\u2019s podcast, and the two have had a complicated relationship. However, Rogan\u2019s team invited both presidential candidates onto the show. While they engaged with Kamala Harris<\/strong><\/a>\u2018 campaign officials, an appearance by the Democratic presidential nominee on the podcast will not take place due to scheduling conflicts.<\/p>\n Rogan has stated that he doesn\u2019t consider himself a conservative, even describing himself as a \u201cbleeding heart liberal when it comes to a lot of sh*t\u201d during a 2022 episode with comedian Andrew Schulz<\/strong>. He emphasized, \u201cI\u2019m so far away from being a Republican. Just because I believe in the Second Amendment and just because I support the military and just \u2019cause I support police [doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m a Republican].\u201d<\/p>\n In the past, Rogan has also been critical of Trump, calling him an \u201cexistential threat to democracy\u201d in July 2022. He also mentioned that he had turned down several opportunities to invite Trump onto his podcast, saying, \u201cI\u2019ve said no every time. I don\u2019t want to help him.\u201d<\/p>\n More recently, however, Rogan has noted some positive aspects of Trump\u2019s presidency, acknowledging that the economy performed well during that time and that Trump made efforts to address various national issues.<\/p>\n Additionally, Rogan and Trump share some allies, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr<\/a>.<\/strong>, who endorsed Trump after dropping out of the presidential race, and tech billionaire Elon Musk<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n While the release date for Trump\u2019s episode<\/a> has not been announced, the show typically does minimal editing and publishes episodes quickly, often the same day as recording, according to\u00a0Lulu Cheng Meservey<\/strong>, Vice President of Communications at Substack.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0JRELibrary.com<\/a>, the podcast is prerecorded several days in advance, with episodes typically released daily at 1 PM EST<\/a> from Tuesday to Friday, and sometimes on Saturday.<\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\nWho Is Joe Rogan?<\/h2>\n
