Trump is set to tape an interview for the popular "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast Friday at Rogan's Austin, Texas, studio, multiple sources told ABC News.

Rogan's podcast garners a vast amount of viewership each week and ranks as one of the most-listened-to podcast on Spotify.

The interview comes as Trump has been engaging in more long-format media appearances and podcasts and works to appeal to young male voters, a key group of Rogan listeners.

Earlier this cycle, Rogan and Trump got into a back-and-forth spat on social media after Rogan expressed his support for then-candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during on an episode over the summer.

"He's the only one who makes sense to me," Rogan said of Kennedy in an August episode.

"He doesn't attack people. He attacks actions and ideas, but he's much more reasonable and intelligent."

In response, Trump posted on his social media platform that "it will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets BOOED the next time he enters the UFC Ring??? MAGA2024."

Trump takes questions from vocal supporters at Latino event, attacks Harris' intelligence

Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump participates in a roundtable with Latino leaders Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2024, in Doral, Fla.

Trump took friendly questions from Latino supporters during a roundtable aimed at courting minority voters in Florida on Tuesday.

The questions came from many longtime supporters including Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanue, pastor Apostle Guillermo Maldonado and "Sound of Freedom" actor Eduardo Verastegui, who spent a lot of their time praising the former president.

Trump talked about immigration for the first time about 30 minutes in, and used false claims about immigrants crossing into the country, calling them a "military supreme."

The crowd was relatively calm given the ballroom set-up; however, Trump did get applause when he brought up "men in women sports," where he doubled down on more transphobic rhetoric.

"So there's a sickness going on in our country. We have to end the sickness, and we have to start because she's a radical left," Trump said of Harris.

Trump also repeatedly made racial and ethnic jokes and attacks during the event.

The former president also went after Harris' intelligence, calling her "slow" and "stupid."

He also continued to make his baseless claim that there might not be another election if Harris wins.

Trump returned to his Doral, Florida, golf club to host a roundtable with Latino community members Tuesday and used the opportunity to criticize Harris for not having any campaign events that day.

The roundtable was supposed to be focused on Trump's appeal to Latino Americans, but during his opening remarks, Trump gave a generic, rambling stump speech where he complained about his heavy campaign schedule compared to Harris'. The vice president is off the trail on Tuesday and taping interviews for NBC News and Telemundo.

"She's sleeping right now. She couldn't go on the trail. You know, you think when you have 14 days left, you wouldn't be sleeping. She's not doing anything today," Trump said, not mentioning her TV interviews scheduled for Tuesday.

As the topic of exhaustion came up into the final stretch of the campaign, Trump kept going after Harris for taking days off as he talked about how much he was campaigning.

"Who the hell takes off? You have 14 days left, and she'll take a couple of more days off too. You know why she's lazy as hell, and she's got that reputation," he said.
