Joe Rogan Reveals Kamala Harris Avoided Marijuana Talks For Podcast

In a recent revelation, Joe Rogan disclosed failed negotiations for Vice President Kamala Harris to appear on his popular podcast, focusing particularly on the conditions set by her campaign regarding topics of discussion.

Joe Rogan discussed the planned yet unrealized podcast interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, noting her team's conditions to avoid the topic of marijuana legalization.Joe Rogan, the host of one of the most widely followed podcasts globally, expressed his interest in hosting Vice President Kamala Harris while she was visiting Texas. This interest led to multiple discussions between Rogan's team and Harris's campaign, with various dates and times being proposed for the interview.

The Harris campaign had expressed a preference for the interview to take place in Washington, D.C., aiming for a concise, one-hour session. According to Rogan, specific topics were deemed off-limits, including discussions on marijuana legalization, a point that Rogan found particularly amusing.

Rogan's guest, comedian Adrienne Iapalucci, questioned why Harris would want to avoid discussing her record on prosecuting marijuana offenses, hinting at a potentially sensitive area for the Vice President.

Joe Rogan Critiques Harris's Public Speaking and Campaign

Rogan openly criticized Kamala Harris as a "bad candidate," describing her campaign efforts as "chaotic." His critique extended to her public speaking abilities, commending her delivery of pre-rehearsed speeches but noting her less adept handling of unscripted situations.

"I don’t know if she’s good at running things because you’d have to be behind the scenes to see how that works, but when it comes to talking off the top of her head, what she’s good at is a pre-rehearsed speech that she reads off a teleprompter. Pretty solid," Rogan commented on his podcast.

Despite the proposed restrictions on the discussion topics, Rogan was keen on proceeding with the interview, indicating his willingness to navigate around the limitations. "There were a few restrictions of things they didn’t want to talk about, but I said, ‘I don’t give a f---, get her in here.’ Like, whatever you want to talk about," Rogan asserted during the episode.

Comparison of Podcast Interviews: Trump Versus Potential Harris

Highlighting his podcast's broad audience reach, Rogan referenced his previous three-hour interview with then-President-elect Donald Trump, which amassed over 36 million views on YouTube. This interview became a topic of comparison due to its contrast with the potential yet failed interview with Harris.

Rogan, who endorsed Trump on the eve of Election Day, juxtaposed his extensive and unrestricted conversation with Trump to the conditions laid out by Harris's team. This difference underscored what might have been a unique opportunity for Harris to address and engage with Rogan's diverse and vast listener base.

Ultimately, the interview with Vice President Kamala Harris did not materialize, despite Rogan's willingness and the initial steps taken by both parties to arrange a meeting. The discussions around the conditions set by Harris's campaign highlight a cautious approach to media appearances, especially on platforms with a freewheeling and unpredictable format like Rogan's podcast.
