Summary

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

Harris’ team carefully planned a trip to Texas to align with Rogan’s terms, only to be told he was unavailable—only for Trump to secure an interview that same day.

The book claims Elon Musk and UFC CEO Dana White influenced Rogan’s decision.

Harris’ team made a last-minute attempt for an interview, but Rogan declined.

    As much as Rogan probably insists he is, I don’t think the podcast made all that much of a difference.

      You’re not paying attention if you think that. People not paying attention is why we are where we are today.

        It’s the point of the term “influencer.”

        If you get enough of people’s favorite celebrities to endorse someone, they are more likely to vote for them.
