The art of conversation has always been about knowing when to speak and when to listen. For Joe Rogan, this understanding has been key to his success. The UFC commentator-turned-podcast mogul has interviewed everyone from scientists to comedians, but his recent sit-down with former President Donald Trump presented a unique challenge.
In a surprising revelation following the viral JRE #2219 episode, Rogan opened up about his strategic approach to hosting Trump. The podcast host, known for his direct style and willingness to challenge guests, chose a different path this time. He chose not to confront the former President in favor of covering multiple topics.
“I was definitely hyped, and I was excited because there’s a lot of questions I need to answer… I also wanted to be rigid because there was a moment when he brought up the polio vaccine, I was like, “I don’t want to correct him.“… Don’t want to get involved in a podcast because there’s a lot of sh*t I want to get to,” said Rogan via JRE Fight Companion.
This refusal to argue wasn’t about backing down – it was about playing the long game. Joe Rogan is as comfortable discussing MMA techniques as he is debating scientific theories. But he recognized that getting bogged down in fact-checking might derail more meaningful discussions.
This approach reveals a broader truth about modern discourse: sometimes, the best interviews aren’t about proving who’s right or wrong. They are about creating a space where conversations can flow naturally, even if it means occasionally biting your tongue!
Donald Trump Hopes He Won’t Be “Depressed” Come UFC 309
Trump’s relationship with the UFC is particularly unique. He has been an avid fan of the sport and helped in its survival when everyone else was trying to bury it. And as such, his own fight in the presidential election is on that he hopes he can win.

During his recent appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, the former president revealed a weird scenario while discussing the upcoming UFC 309 event. He said that his potential attendance hinges fully on the presidential election results.
“You know Bo Nickal is a great fighter. When is he fighting again? [UFC 309] Oooh, that is going to be interesting after the elections. So, I will either go as President, or I will be depressed and won’t bother coming.”
Donald Trump has become something of an unofficial mascot for the organization, drawing both cheers and controversy wherever he appears. Whether Trump ends up watching Bo Nickal’s performance at UFC 309 from a seat of power or his living room couch remains to be seen. But one thing’s certain – his uniquely intertwined relationship with the UFC continues to add extra spice to the already spicy world of UFC.
