Joe Rogan says Harris campaign blew ‘opportunity’ for podcast ‘when she was in Texas’

Popular podcast host Joe Rogan said on Wednesday that Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign missed a chance to record an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” while she was in Texas, where his studio is located.

Rogan posted on X Tuesday that the Harris campaign wanted him to “travel to her” for an interview, but that he deeply believes it would be optimal for the vice president to appear in his Austin studio. Rogan said on a Wednesday episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” that he extended an “open invitation” to the Harris campaign during her visit to Texas for a rally on Friday, but that she did not take him up on it.

“She had an opportunity to come … You could look at this and you could say, ‘Oh, you’re being a diva,’ but she had an opportunity to come here when she was in Texas. And I literally gave them an open invitation,” Rogan said. “I said, ‘Anytime.’ I said, ‘If she’s done at 10:00, we’ll come back here at 10:00.’ I go, ‘I’ll do it at 9:00 in the morning, I’ll do it at 10:00 p.m., I’ll do it at midnight if she’s up, she wants to, you know, drink a Red Bull and fuckin’ party on.’”

Former President Donald Trump appeared on the podcast Friday, recording a three-hour episode that has over 40 million views on YouTube as of Wednesday.

“She actually reached out when she found out that he was coming on, so their camp reached out to me. So I said, ‘Great, I would love to talk to her.’ But it was very difficult to tie it down … If I go somewhere, then there’s going to be other people in the room, and they want to control a lot of things, I’m sure, according to the Bret Baier interview on Fox, like, people were waving him off,” he added. “That’s a distraction.”

“Like, my whole goal with her and with him is just talk. Just sit, have a conversation like a human being,” Rogan said. “You find out things about people, you get a sense of them, at least, a real sense. That was it. I don’t give a fuck what we talk about. I really don’t. I just want to talk to you. Who the fuck are you?”

The Harris campaign had previously considered doing an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” to target male voters that she has been struggling with, Reuters reported on Oct. 15. Trump has an 11-point lead over Harris among male voters, while the vice president holds a 15-point advantage over the former president with female voters, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll released in early October.

Harris and Trump are currently locked in a tight race across the top seven swing states, with the former president slightly ahead in five, according to the RealClearPolling averages.

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
