"morals ? Lol he’s had alex jones on there." [@AdooLesa - Twitter]

"Love joe but he’s wrong here...Even if he doesn’t agree with trump have him on and expose him...It’s a win for the audience, trump, and rogan...It would be the most watched podcast ever" [@ExperienceJRE - Twitter]

"Why would he not want to interview him? That would easily be the most listened to podcast of all time." [@steelsooner21 - Twitter]

"I mean good for him. I liked that he had RFK on, simply because he seems much more moderate. I don’t think it’s a great idea to have a hard right or hard left guest on the podcast unless they are there together and are able to have a respectful discourse." [@MMADialogue - Twitter]

"Honestly this would be the most vital podcast ever" [@TrackCrescent - Twitter]

"He's probably scared of him" [@JackzMind - Twitter]

Comments to Daily Loud's tweet

It remains to be seen whether Rogan will change his stance on Donald Trump appearing on JRE as it would certainly generate plenty of attention.
