### Joe Rogan's Interview with Donald Trump Faces YouTube Search Issues

Joe Rogan has revealed that his recent interview with former President Donald Trump encountered an "issue" which led to difficulties in finding the episode through YouTube's search function. Google is reportedly working to resolve this problem. Some of Rogan's followers have speculated, without evidence, that YouTube deliberately suppressed the interview.

The episode featuring Trump quickly became one of the most significant episodes in the history of Rogan’s podcast. It marked the first appearance of a former president on the show. The interview was weeks in the making, especially notable since Rogan had previously stated he would never host Trump. For Trump’s camp, the podcast was a strategic move to engage a demographic of young male voters, which they see as crucial to countering the anticipated strong support for Kamala Harris among female voters.

Throughout the episode, Trump and Rogan discussed various topics including election fraud—without going into specifics—Trump’s presidential policies, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The impact of the episode was substantial, rapidly climbing to 37 million views on YouTube. This makes it one of the most-watched episodes in Rogan's long-running podcast series that has been featured on Spotify.

Despite rumors, Rogan shared on Tuesday that he remains hopeful about future episodes. He indicated that the Harris campaign had not turned down the opportunity to appear on the podcast, but logistical challenges were a barrier. The campaign offered a date, but it would have required Rogan to travel for a brief hour-long interview, which did not align with his schedule. Harris' team cited scheduling conflicts as the reason for not being able to participate.

In related news, Trump's vice presidential pick, JD Vance, is scheduled to appear on Rogan's podcast in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday. The release date for this upcoming interview remains undetermined. Vance has been following a similar podcast circuit as Trump, appearing on shows like "Full Send Podcast" and "This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von."

While the interview with Trump amassed a large viewership, it still trails behind Rogan’s all-time most viewed episodes. The top episode on YouTube, with 61 million views, features Bob Lazar and Jeremy Corbell discussing a prominent Area 51 documentary. The second most-watched episode, drawing 38 million views, includes Edward Snowden as a guest.
