What was said
"You turned him down? Only podcaster that did last year. The media team reached out to me after the election and they were like, you know that I think of all of the people that got offered it, the only one that said no was you."
Williamson confirms he was the only podcaster to decline an interview with Donald Trump when offered by his media team two years ago. He explains he didn't feel equipped to handle Trump as 'a generational communicator' and compared the challenge to fighting a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. He says he'd be more interested in interviewing Trump now that he's president and there's less pressure.
