Summary
A new book alleges that Kamala Harris was set to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast during the 2024 campaign but was blocked when Rogan’s team suddenly scheduled Donald Trump instead.
Harris’ team carefully planned a trip to Texas to align with Rogan’s terms, only to be told he was unavailable—only for Trump to secure an interview that same day.
The book claims Elon Musk and UFC CEO Dana White influenced Rogan’s decision.
Harris’ team made a last-minute attempt for an interview, but Rogan declined.
I’ve been a pretty consistent listener of Joe for a decade, since before he really gained true popularity. He’s never been perfect and he’s said and done a whole lot of dumb shit over the years, but I took him for entertainment and nothing more, so his missteps were always forgivable.
But last year’s Trump, Vance, Musk, and Gabbard interviews back-to-back on the eve of election proved to me without a shadow of a doubt that Joe Rogan is bought and sold, and I’ve not listened to him since.
I don’t hate him, but his appeal to me was that right or wrong, he was always at least genuine. Now he’s just a 3-hour advertisement.
In my opinion, what fucked him was reaching ‘escape velocity’ as he calls it. He knows he’s untouchable now so he’s stopped auto criticism.
Dude was antivaxx during covid. And then when he got covid He used ivermectin and that one medication instead of just sticking with his horse meds lol.
Removed by mod
Rogan has been thoroughly and repeatedly debunked on Covid. He knows nothing about it and repeats blatant misinformation.

Doctors, nurses, laboratories, science officials the world over disagree with everything you just said. Not only is it blatantly wrong, you have absolutely zero evidence to support your claim.
You should rethink posting edgy takes for attention. It’s not a good look.
For the record I’m against most of what Rogan says about most of his scientific statements, including most of his shit about COVID. He’s a meathead, but he has been saying for years that getting the vaccine doesn’t stop you getting the virus, which is correct.
If it butt hurts you and the mod censoring me because I’m open to things he says that are right instead of blanket-hating every word, you can both get into a 69 position with each other and make gargling sounds.
You hear that, trigger-happy mod? Now you have a reason to intervene. I come here once every 6 months so flex as hard as you need to, big man.
Have never listened to Rogan.
What were his claims about the vaccines, mask efficacy, and ivermectin?
The wrong ones.
