Wildly popular podcast host Joe Rogan is seemingly set to sit down with former president Donald Trump as the race for the White House enters its final few weeks.
The 57-year-old comedian and UFC commentator had previously said in 2022 that he would never have Trump on his podcast over fears it would help the Republicans campaign.
In recent times however, Rogan has somewhat changed his tune on having trump on his highly popular show The Joe Rogan Experience.
In a episode alongside Guest Patrick Bet-David last August, Rogan was asked when he would have Trump on. He casually responded I dont know.
Probing further, Bet-David smiled and suggested he thought Rogan might have something up his sleeve, to which he cryptically responded: Maybe.

On Thursday, Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk exacerbated these suggestions after he responded to a Zero Hedge article concerning a potential sit down between the two.
The article, titled Joe Rogan has 25 days to interview Donald Trump, caused Musk to confidently post: It will happen.
In the same interview with Patrick Bet-David, Rogan also discussed a list of questions he had already thought about should Trump appear on his show.
He tells his guest: I would like to know what is it like when you actually get into office? I would like to know things like what is it like versus perception?
When do you know that people are f***ing with you? When do you know that the intelligence agencies (are) lying to you?
When you decided to fire (former FBI director James) Comey, what was the thought? How much did you know? Whats the machine like? What is the deep state really like, really like?
During an interview with Lex Fridman in 2022, Rogan told him that he had turned down multiple offers to have Trump on his podcast.
He defiantly said: 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 him.

Rogan had sparked anger from fired up Trump supporters, and Trump himself, after a clip from his show indicated that he was supporting RFK Jr. for president
Similarly, Trump was also interviewed by Fridman just last month and said he had not been invited to appear on the podcast.
Trump seemed less than enthused when discussing Rogan who was forced to roll back what was seen as an endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy after a huge MAGA blowback.

It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC Ring??? Trump asked in a post on Truth Social.
Fridman asked Trump if there was any tension between the two. Trump said: I dont think that there was any tension and Ive always liked him. But I dont know him.
I only see him when I walk into the arena with Dana [White] and I shake his hand. I see him there and I think hes good at what he does but I dont know about doing his podcast.
I mean, I guess Id do it, he admitted. But I havent been asked and Im not asking them, you know? Im not asking anybody.
Rogan currently has 17.4 million followers on his YouTube page, with his videos regularly amassing millions of views and listens.
Any presidential candidate who earns a spot on his podcast would earn a far-reaching and diverse audience.
