During a recent podcast episode, host Joe Rogan shared insights into his failed attempt to secure an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. Rogan mentioned that the Harris campaign had engaged in discussions with his team regarding a potential interview, but it ultimately did not materialize. One of the conditions reportedly set by the Vice President's team was to avoid discussing the topic of marijuana legalization, which Rogan found amusing.
Rogan expressed his willingness to host Harris for an interview, extending an open invitation and even offering to travel to Washington, D.C. for the sit-down. However, the interview did not come to fruition, with Harris preferring a limited one-hour session.
When questioned by his guest about Harris's reluctance to address the marijuana issue, Rogan pointed to her past record of prosecuting individuals for marijuana-related offenses. This stance likely influenced her decision to steer clear of the topic during the potential interview.
Despite the setback, Rogan reiterated his interest in interviewing Harris and hoped for a meeting while she was in Texas. Notably, Rogan had previously conducted a three-hour conversation with President-elect Trump, garnering significant viewership on YouTube. Rogan's endorsement of Trump on the eve of the election further underscored his political leanings.
Rogan also critiqued Harris's campaign, describing it as chaotic and suggesting that she struggled in unscripted situations. He noted her proficiency in delivering pre-rehearsed speeches from a teleprompter but questioned her ability to handle spontaneous interactions effectively.
While the interview with Harris did not come to pass, Rogan's candid remarks shed light on the complexities of securing high-profile interviews and navigating sensitive topics in the public sphere.
