Summary
A new book alleges that Kamala Harris was set to appear on Joe Roganās podcast during the 2024 campaign but was blocked when Roganās team suddenly scheduled Donald Trump instead.
Harrisā team carefully planned a trip to Texas to align with Roganās terms, only to be told he was unavailableāonly for Trump to secure an interview that same day.
The book claims Elon Musk and UFC CEO Dana White influenced Roganās decision.
Harrisā team made a last-minute attempt for an interview, but Rogan declined.
Iāve been a pretty consistent listener of Joe for a decade, since before he really gained true popularity. Heās never been perfect and heās 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 yearās 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 Iāve not listened to him since.
I donāt hate him, but his appeal to me was that right or wrong, he was always at least genuine. Now heās just a 3-hour advertisement.
In my opinion, what fucked him was reaching āescape velocityā as he calls it. He knows heās untouchable now so heās stopped auto criticism.
