Former President Donald Trump obliquely confirmed in an interview published over the weekend that he would appear on Joe Rogan’s popular podcast.

The former president was responding to a question during an interview on the “Full Send” podcast.

“You’re doing a lot of podcasts recently. One that I would love to see you on, I think Joe Rogan has to have you on. Would you do that?” host Kyle Forgeard asked him.

“I think I’m doing it, actually,” Trump said in a clip from the podcast, slated to be published on Oct. 14. It’s not clear when Trump will appear on Rogan’s show.

“Joe Rogan’s the best in the game for sure,” Forgeard said. “He’s an honest guy too.”

“He is. Good guy,” the former president said in response. “He’s got a good voice; that’s important.”

Neither Rogan nor the podcast has confirmed if Trump will appear on the program. However, Rogan’s X account for his podcast asked its followers whether Trump should appear on the show.

X owner Elon Musk, who now publicly backs Trump, wrote on the platform on Oct. 12 that the Trump–Rogan interview “will happen,” responding to a post that Rogan has 25 days to interview the former president before the election.

Rogan has publicly supported and praised former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who dropped out of the race weeks ago and endorsed Trump. The podcast host and comedian has not publicly endorsed any candidate.

It’s not clear whether Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party nominee for president, will appear on Rogan’s podcast. The Epoch Times contacted the Trump and Harris campaigns for comment on Oct. 13 about the former president’s remarks.

Harris has recently appeared for several interviews with celebrities on social media, television, and on podcasts after several weeks of not doing any media interviews.

She appeared on the “Call Her Daddy” program, ranked as the No. 1 podcast on Spotify, earlier this month. Rogan’s podcast is ranked No. 2, according to Spotify.

Trump has appeared on Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” and Andrew Schulz’s “Flagrant” podcasts in recent days.

Both Harris and Trump appeared at campaign events over the weekend, with the former president appearing at California’s Coachella festival and Harris appearing at an event near Phoenix.

Harris traveled to Nevada and Arizona from Oct. 9 through Oct. 11 in a southwestern campaign swing. During the trip she participated in events including a Univision town hall in Las Vegas, a meeting with the Culinary Workers Union Local 226, and a campaign rally in Phoenix.

Nevada and Arizona are both considered key battleground states in the election.

While at Coachella, Trump made reference to California’s history.

“Through generations of American history California stood as a beacon of what our country aspired to become,” Trump said at the event. “It had everything. It had the weather. It had the water. The state had the best schools, the safest communities, and a booming middle class.”

Now, he said, the Golden State “has the highest inflation, the highest taxes, the highest gas prices, the highest cost of living, the most regulations, the most expensive utilities, the most homelessness, the most crime, the most decay, and the most illegal aliens.”

“Other than that I think you’re doing quite well,” Trump said.
