'The biggest there is': Trump boasts after learning of last-minute endorsement at rally

Former President Donald Trump gave Joe Rogan a heartfelt thank you after learning at his rally in Pittsburgh the podcaster endorsed him for a second term.

Trump told supporters on Monday night that "someone who's very, very respected" asked him to come on their show a couple of weeks ago, referring to his appearance on the "Joe Rogan Experience."

"And to me, it's very big because he's the biggest there is, I guess," said Trump. "By far. Somebody said the biggest beyond anybody in a long time. And his name is Joe Rogan and he's never done this before."

As the crowd applauded the news, Trump said it "just came over the wires that Joe Rogan just endorsed me. Thank you Joe. That's so nice! And he doesn't do that. He doesn't do that. And he tends to be a little bit more liberal than some of the people in this room."

Trump recalled the three-hour interview with Rogan left him more than two hours late to a rally in Traverse City, Michigan.

Trump's interview with the famous podcaster came together after rumors of a potential interview between Rogan and Vice President Kamala Harris fell through.

In endorsing Trump, Rogan wrote on X that the "great and powerful" Elon Musk made "what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast."
