Book Bombshell Suggests Joe Rogan Sabotaged His Own Kamala Harris Interview In Favor Of Trump

A new book reveals that influential podcaster Joe Rogan may have sabotaged his own interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris in favor of President Donald Trump.

Rogan figured heavily in the discourse following Trump’s victory over Harris, in particular the candidates’ appearances or non-appearances on Rogan’s podcast during the campaign.

Trump sat for a three-hour interview on Rogan’s show on October 26, but despite efforts by the Harris campaign to arrange an appearance for the VP, it didn’t happen.

There were many excuses and reasons given, but a new book suggests it was Rogan who tanked the interview — and gave Trump the same spot that the VP was told was not available.

An excerpt from the upcoming book FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes gives an inside look at the wrangling for a sit-down — including the odd decision for Harris to hold a rally in Houston on October 22:

Only a few people knew the real reason: the whole Houston rally was built to put her in proximity to Rogan. The ongoing negotiations on that were touch-and-go.

(Harris deputy campaign manager Rob) Flaherty had called his Rogan contacts on October 18, before the rally was set.

“We could do Friday, the 25th,” Flaherty said.

“Wish we had known about this sooner, because he has the 25th blocked out as a personal day,” one of Rogan’s reps said.

“What about Saturday morning?” Flaherty countered.

“Only if it’s before 8:30 a.m.,” came the tough reply.

The tone is different, Flaherty thought. The vice president of the United States is offering to come to your f—ing show, and you keep putting up more hoops. Harris’s team still wanted to make it work, but a new wariness set in.

On October 22, the same day the Harris camp announced the rally, the Associated Press reported that Trump would be Rogan’s guest on Friday — the “personal day” Rogan had originally reserved.

Mutual friends Elon Musk and Dana White had convinced Trump and Rogan to bury their dispute, according to a Trump aide. There would be no Harris interview.
