Joe Rogan explains why he rejected Donald Trump twice for JRE Podcast YouTube: Breaking Points \/ Wikimedia Commons: Gage SkidmorePodcast host Joe Rogan has explained why he turned down what would have been the biggest interview he\u2019s done so far, with former President Donald Trump. The JRE podcast stands as one of the most popular podcasts on the internet, and with over a decade\u2019s worth of episodes under his belt, Rogan has sat across from countless guests over the years. With huge names like Elon Musk, Mike Tyson, Kanye West, and more appearing on the show, fans are always keen to see who the star will be able to get on the show next. In an episode of Breaking Points with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti, Rogan spilled the beans on why he turned down who could have potentially been the biggest guest to ever appear on the show \u2014 former US President Donald Trump. He explained that they wanted him to go to the White House to conduct the interview, and said \u201cthey kept coming back\u201d to try and get him to do it. \u201cMaybe I would have thought about it in LA, like to do a real 3-hour thing,\u201d he went on to say. \u201cBut either way, the problem is, it\u2019s a real problem in that I don\u2019t want anybody to be uncomfortable, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s my role\u2026 like, if I\u2019m talking to someone like him there\u2019s some uncomfortable things that have to be addressed.\u201d Rogan also added that the proposed format of the episode isn\u2019t something he was sold on. \u201cIt was not what I\u2019m interested in, it\u2019s not what I do. The idea of going to the White House and doing a 20-minute podcast, it\u2019s not a podcast.\u201d While the episode would have guaranteed a huge amount of attention, the host explained that he\u2019s in it for more than just the numbers. \u201cI just don\u2019t ever do things saying \u2018this is gonna be a big episode, it\u2019s gonna be a lot of numbers,\u2019 I do things if I think someone\u2019s cool. I\u2019m interested in someone, or I think their position is fascinating.\u201d He went on to claim that he wouldn\u2019t have interviewed Trump or Biden as he \u201cdidn\u2019t want to help anybody in this race.\u201d There\u2019s no doubt that if Rogan had gone ahead with the interview that it would have caused a stir on social media, but it just goes to show how in-demand a guest spot on the Joe Rogan Experience is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
