What would happen if Joe Rogan found himself across the table from Donald Trump? The former POTUS known for his larger-than-life persona, has always been a topic of fascination for Rogan’s audience with many calling for him to make an appearance on the podcast. With both US presidential candidates making regular appearances on podcasts, there is an increasing possibility that we might see Trump chatting with the UFC color commentator down the line on his popular podcast.

Over the years we have seen Bernie Sanders, the 2020 Presidential Candidate of the Democratic Party, Dan Crenshaw, and Wesley Hunt among others appear on the JRE. So Trump making an appearance may not be entirely out of the question. The 78-year-old has already been featured on Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast while also stopping by to talk on the NELK Boys, discussing a variety of topics from AI to relations with Russia and Joe Biden. So what will be Rogan’s focus if Trump shows up on his podcast?

Trump and Rogan do share some recent history related to the JRE. When independent Presidential candidate and now Trump backer RFK Jr. appeared on the JRE on August 8, Rogan supported him saying, “He’s the only one that makes sense to me.” Trump responded to this by posting  “It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC Ring??? MAGA2024,” on his Truth Social platform the next day.

However, Rogan later clarified his comments saying appreciation of RFK Jr. isn’t an endorsement and that “Trump raising his fist and saying “fight!” after getting shot is one of the most American f*****g things of all time.” There is no doubt that a podcast discussion between the two will attract attention and Rogan already has a few questions in mind.

During episode #2210 of the JRE Rogan sat down with Calley and Casey Means. Calley is the co-founder of Truemed, which enables HSA spending on healthy food, and supplements while Casey is the co-founder of Levels Health, which provides insights into metabolic health through real-time data. The discussions spun around healthcare, which has been a focus on the current election campaign on both sides.

Calley brought up how Trump could have a different way of dealing with things if elected this time around and how he stated that the biggest mistake of his last presidency “was not trusting his gut.” This prompted Rogan to say, “If I talk to him, my number one question would be what happens when you get in there? Like what is that experience like?” It’s likely that Rogan is curious about what a President has to deal with inside the White House once elected.

Rogan continued on his podcast, “Because no one really knows until you’re in office. They don’t tell you how it’s going to go down if you don’t make it, you know. They don’t reveal all that like, so what is that experience like and how can you prepare for it without actually being elected president?” Well, Rogan has an idea of what he wants to ask Trump and it is no surprise that he is interested in the mystery element of being the president and what goes on inside the country’s top office. But what are the chances of Trump making an appearance on the JRE?

The former POTUS, when talking to Lex Fridman last month, talked about Joe Rogan. Fridman asked whether there was any tension between the two due to the August incident. Trump said, “Well, I don’t think there was any tension. And I’ve always liked him.” 

As for appearing on the JRE, Trump mentioned, “But I don’t know about doing his podcast. I guess I’d do it but I haven’t been asked and I’m not asking them. I’m not asking anybody.” 

What is interesting though, is that Rogan lauded Trump’s rival Kamala Harris for her insights during the presidential debate on ABC on September 10. Talking on his podcast episode that aired on September 16, Rogan said Harris was “better prepared” for the debate than Trump and that she “nailed it.” Talking about Trump, he described him as “funny like a comic” who missed his window to say the right things.

The closer we get to the presidential elections, the louder the conversations about Donald Trump become. Rogan has brought up Trump quite a few times on his podcast over the years, but his revelation to Israel Adesanya about the second assassination attempt on the former POTUS’s life.

Joe Rogan shocks Adesanya with news of second attempt on Trump’s life

During the JRE MMA Show #164, former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya was left in disbelief Why? Because Joe Rogan revealed that there was a second assassination attempt on Donald Trump. While the first incident dominated the news, with the former president standing tall and the blood visible on his ear with his fist raised high, there was another attempt that flew under the radar.

While speaking to ‘The Last Stylebender’ Rogan stated, “There was a 2nd assassination attempt. Yeah. There was a guy who got caught with an AK-47. He was hiding in the bushes for 12 hours, got into a shootout with the Secret Service.” Adesanya wasn’t aware of the news and was surprised.

The attempt occurred when Trump was golfing in West Palm Beach, Florida. The alleged gunman Ryan Wesley Routh, initially fled before the police caught him. Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said Routh was about 300 to 500 yards from Trump. When Adesanya asked whether there was a shootout, Rogan revealed to him, No, the Secret Service shot at him. He fled. I don’t think he shot at the Secret Service. He fled and then they caught him.” He then mentioned that the guy “almost assassinated Trump, and it was out of the news cycle in a couple of days.”

If and when Trump does show up on the JRE, we can expect sparks to fly. Having two of the most outspoken personalities on a podcast? Well, that is bound to be news worthy.
