It appears that US President Donald Trump is on board in having a four-hour debate with his rival, former Vice President Joe Biden on the Joe Rogan podcast, reported New York Post. In a recent edition of the podcast, Rogan and his guest retired MMA fighter Tim Kennedy talked about the upcoming presidential debate being moderated by the former.

Kennedy in a subsequent tweet tagged the two presidential election hopefuls asking if they would be up for it. “On my podcast with Joe Rogan, he offered to moderate a debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump It would be four hours with no live audience. Just the two candidates, cameras, and their vision of how to move this country forward. Who wants this?” Kennedy said in his tweet.

To this Trump responded with an “I do,” on Twitter. Rogan and Kennedy were discussing the debates Sunday on the podcast The Joe Rogan Experience. Rogan said that to avoid the bias in the media, he’d be happy to moderate a debate between Biden and Trump. “First of all, I want no one else in the room, just the three of us, and you’d have to stream it live so no one can edit it, and I would want them in there for hours,” Rogan said.

“If they wanted to do that – they both wanted to come here in Austin, sit down and have a debate – I would 100% do it,” he continued.

“But I don’t think that Biden can handle it. I think Biden is like, I think he’s, I mean people get mad at me for saying this, I think there’s something wrong and I don’t think there’s something wrong, because I’m guessing, or because I’m pro-Trump. I’ve seen him fall apart,” Rogan continued.

The two candidates have agreed to three debates with the moderators selected by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
