Summary

A new book alleges that Kamala Harris was set to appear on Joe Roganā€™s podcast during the 2024 campaign but was blocked when Roganā€™s team suddenly scheduled Donald Trump instead.

Harrisā€™ team carefully planned a trip to Texas to align with Roganā€™s terms, only to be told he was unavailableā€”only for Trump to secure an interview that same day.

The book claims Elon Musk and UFC CEO Dana White influenced Roganā€™s decision.

Harrisā€™ team made a last-minute attempt for an interview, but Rogan declined.

    Didnā€™t Kamalaā€™s team also want to edit the interview? Whereas Rogan does a long form, stream of conciousness type of inteview, so he told the Harris team ā€˜Noā€™ to editing.

      Initially they wanted the moon and Rogan said no to all of it. They wanted to do it like a news interview, seemingly not understanding how a podcast works.

      His offer was come to his studio, donā€™t cram the room with her team, and accept her performance as it happened with no editing.

      Then you have JD and Trump, who he only had to add them to his schedule.
