UFC fan Donald Trump talked about different things going around the world, including the popular JRE podcast host, Joe Rogan. The former Fear Factor host, one of the most widely talked about figures, received praise from the forty-fifth US President for his intellect.

On the Full Send Podcast, Trump praised Rogan and reiterated his advice. He said, “He [Joe Rogan] is a very interesting guy, that people like listening to. But, you know, they’ve been hitting him very hard. I did tell him one thing – ‘stop apologizing’”

Though Trump didn’t know whether Rogan had reached out for help, he was inclined to send the advice to the 54-year-old.

When The Nelk Boys asked Trump about the time he had backed Rogan to moderate the 2020 Presidential Debate, Trump responded, “He’s much more talented than Chris Wallace… No, he’s a much more talented person than just about all of these moderators.”

Chris Wallace was the moderator for the first Presidential Debate in 2020.

Earlier, Rogan had pitched the idea of hosting the Presidential Debate. He did so on the JRE podcast episode featuring Tim Kennedy.

When asked if he would host a debate between Trump and Biden, Rogan had said, “First of all, I want no one else in the room, just the three of us. You’d have to stream it live so no one can edit it, and I would want them in there for hours.”
