Joe Rogan Reveals Factors Influencing Trump Interview, Endorses Campaign

Joe Rogan revealed in a recent interview that a combination of politically motivated legal actions and media bias against President Donald Trump persuaded him to host Trump on 'The Joe Rogan Experience' just before the 2024 election. Rogan criticized lawsuits, such as the Manhattan DA’s case charging Trump with multiple felonies over what he described as a misdemeanor and statute of limitations issues, calling the efforts blatant and unjust. He warned that such lawfare against a wealthy and powerful individual like Trump could also threaten ordinary citizens. Additionally, Rogan cited the assassination attempt against Trump in Pennsylvania as a significant factor influencing his decision, likening it to a potential repeat of the Lee Harvey Oswald case. Trump’s appearance on Rogan’s podcast, which has garnered over 59 million views, was a pivotal moment in what some have called the 'podcast election,' where informal media played a crucial role in shaping public opinion. Rogan expressed concern about the lack of fair conversations in mainstream media, motivating him to provide an alternative platform for Trump’s voice.
