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.

    The vaccine has never claimed to ever stop you from getting the virus. It has always said to mitigate the damage to prevent death.

    That makes him correct like saying a car is driving safe because it doesn’t get in to an accident. That isn’t the “truth”. It’s a statement that doesn’t illustrate the safety of the driver. They could be having close calls or running red lights and it’s 3am.

    Rogan does not understand basic science and the principles of the guests he has on. He is a tin foil hat wearing funny guy, who leads anyone interested in tin foil hats and pokes the bear for entertainment. Is it funny? Hell yea. I used to love the entertainment part of Rogan. But he has overplayed his hand and now he has gone political.

    He has done this because he’s bought or stupid. I don’t really care which one it is. His last standup was shit. He gets to make money stirring the pot amongst gym bros that think they are being intellectual and avoiding all the bullshit. A broken clock is still right twice a day.

    What upsets me about you specifically is you are undermining the millions of people around the globe that actually have degrees in science and medicine. They have done the leg work. They did the actual research. And you see some shocking things on the Internet and think you found the golden bullet of truth rather than the actual truth.

    Nature don’t give a fuck what we think. It’s out to eat us. In every single way. Rogan doesn’t know COVID better than an actual COVID researcher. There are millions throughout many countries. You sound unhinged and unresponsive of criticism. You’re wrong. Rogan was not right. He was lucky.

      There’s literally video of Biden addressing the nation saying if you got the vaccine you would NOT. GET. COVID, nor get sick, or die. Would you like 20 or 30 links to that? Let me know because about 1000 news outsets reported on it.

      I’m not anti-Biden or anti-vaccine, but he was wrong to say that, period, and Rogan called him out on it, which Rogan got slammed for, which he turned out to be absolutely right about.

      It’s fools like you who blatantly, blindly pick a side with no nuance or care for any discussion. You’re like a MAGA mirror opposite.

        That’s one person. Any smart person would know there are many people that have knowledge. Relying on one source is close minded. You should explore other habits.

        Like listening to your mechanic when your car is about to break. Or the plumber when the pipe is broken. But when it comes to medicine, “I know better because the comedian on the Internet told me I wouldn’t get it.”

          I’m triple-vaxxed with two degrees and one in science.

          Unfortunately, your capacity to understand what I’m talking about has hit its limit, and it’s not even close to where I need it to be to keep me interested.
