US EditionPoilievre set up ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ interview himself, Conservative campaign manager says
Poilievre's podcast episode with Joe Rogan covers politics, MMA, and trade, aiming to reshape his image beyond Canada, with millions expected to listen.
- This week, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre recorded a more-than-two-hour podcast with Joe Rogan during his U.S. tour; the episode dropped Thursday and is expected to be heard by millions.
- Arranged largely through direct texts, the connection involved Conservative campaign manager Steve Outhouse saying Poilievre arranged the appearance by texting Joe Rogan, with Georges St-Pierre connecting them, Outhouse told CTV Question Period on Sunday.
- Discussing MMA and fitness, Poilievre presented a 70-pound kettlebell, and Rogan said he would 'vote for , 100 per cent' at the episode's end.
- Outhouse said Poilievre arranged the Rogan podcast during MPs' break to promote Canada abroad and present a different side of the leader, despite potential peril.
- Given Joe Rogan's reputation for controversial remarks, the appearance carried reputational risk as Poilievre pushed back on an online conspiracy about Trudeau's paternity, while Liberals are at 47 per cent support, according to Nanos Research.
