Joe Rogan expressed initial hesitation to interview Donald Trump but changed his mind due to significant revelations regarding Trump's legal issues. Notably, Trump faced over 30 felony charges related to business records. Rogan emphasized that the legal ramifications for Trump illustrate a broader potential threat to any citizen, cautioning against cheering on such actions. The impulse to interview Trump was magnified by an assassination attempt on him in 2024, which Rogan mentioned as a critical turning point in his decision to engage with the former president.
There was a bunch of things that happened... the case with the bookkeeping error or the bookkeeping, whatever it was, the misdemeanor that they had charged him with 34 felonies for, which isn't even a felony. It's a misdemeanor... It should have been a campaign contribution.
People were cheering it on. He's a convicted felon. Like, hey, they can do that to you. Do you understand that? If they can do that to a former president... They can do that to you too. You can't cheer this on. This is insane.
The attempted assassination of Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania in July 2024 as the big reason he chose to invite Trump for an interview, saying the shooting could have been Lee Harvey Oswald 2.0.
