Later on Friday, after the two sat down in Rogan's studio in Austin, Texas, the episode of 'The Joe Rogan Experience' was released on YouTube and Spotify. The discussion lasted a long time, leading to a significant delay of a rally that Trump was originally scheduled to hold in Traverse City, Michigan.
Rogan posted on X saying: “YouTube had no problem censoring the episode with Trump. It was supposed to air simultaneously on Spotify and YouTube, but there was a glitch in Spotify's upload system, so we removed the YouTube link until the issue was fixed. It should be fine now.”
Rogan is one of the most popular and controversial media figures in America, with millions of downloads for each episode, often featuring conversations with top news personalities. He is particularly popular among young men, and Trump's campaign is specifically targeting young males.
The podcaster has never invited Trump onto his show 'The Joe Rogan Experience' and has faced criticism in recent years for comments about public health and other controversial issues.
Rogan had previously stated that he is not a supporter of Trump and expressed in 2022 that he did not want the former president to appear on his show. However, both Trump and Democratic candidate Vice President Harris have been making appearances on popular podcasts, trying to attract as many voters as possible.
