Kamala Harris made one demand to Joe Rogan that she will live to regret
Democrats are trying to figure out where it all went wrong for Kamala Harris’ campaign.
There is an easy answer right in front of their faces.
And Kamala Harris made one demand to Joe Rogan that she will live to regret.
Kamala Harris’ decision not to go on Joe Rogan backfires
2024 was the podcast election.
Donald Trump went around the traditional media to reach tens of millions of voters – specifically young men – by making the rounds on popular podcasts hosted by the Nelk Boys, Adin Ross, Theo Von and Joe Rogan.
Rogan hosts the number one podcast in America which reaches 14,000,000 listeners each episode.
Trump’s interview lasted three hours and racked up 45,000,000 views on YouTube.
Rogan then endorsed Trump the night before the election.
But Rogan also tried to have Kamala Harris on his show.
Kamala Harris’ handlers declined after making a number of demands about the length of the interview and where it could take place.
In an interview after the election Rogan had stand-up comic Theo Von on as a guest and Rogan said all he was trying to do was conduct a longform interview to try and get to know Kamala Harris as a person.
“I bet there’s a person in there. I bet I can get to that person,” Rogan stated. “I wanted to find that person. I didn’t want to hear all the speeches. I don’t want to hear, ‘I was raised middle class,’ I don’t want to hear any of that s***.”
Kamala Harris failed to win because voters saw her as a fake construct of Hollywood and political consultants.
There was nothing genuine about Kamala Harris as even the hand gestures she made during her rally speeches were carefully choreographed and rehearsed.
Von threw out a fun fact about Kamala Harris that Rogan – nor anyone else – knew.
“She’s a roller skater, did you know that?” Von asked Rogan.
Rogan said he didn’t and the purpose of his lengthy interviews is to humanize his subject so the audience learns something about the actual individual behind the public persona.
“No, I would love to find that out. I would love to talk to her about all kinds of shit. I literally said — because 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. Then they want to know if I edit. I was like, there’s not going to be any editing, there’s no editing. We’re not going to edit,” Rogan added.
But Kamala Harris’ handlers demanded the interview only last for one hour knowing Kamala Harris couldn’t speak for three hours without a script like Donald Trump could.
“I just wanted to talk. I feel like you give someone a couple of hours and you start talking about anything, I’m going to see the pattern of the way you think, I’m going to see the way you process ideas, I’m going to see whether or not you’re calculated or whether you’re just free,” Rogan concluded.
Kamala Harris’ podcast fiasco
Kamala Harris’ handlers’ hesitation to allow her to do Joe Rogan’s show might have been influenced by her disastrous interview on Kareem Rahma’s Subway Takes podcast.
Prior to the interview Kamala Harris’ handlers refused to allow Rahma – who is Muslim – to ask Kamala about the war in Gaza.
What Kamala Harris ended up doing is offending Rahma horribly by saying her favorite spice is bacon as observant Muslims are forbidden to eat pork.
“What happened was a dispute over Harris’s take. Rahma said he had been told that the vice president would be taking a stand against removing one’s shoes on airplanes. When they sat down, however, Harris had surprised him with a different take: “Bacon is a spice,” the New York Times reported.
Kamala then blabbered about how she likes putting anchovies on pizza which left Rahma confused.
“Well,” Rahma declared. “I’m 100 percent unsure on both of those.”
Rahma said his Muslim audience wanted to know about Kamala’s position on Gaza and instead of talking about that Kamala rambled about anchovies.
“It was so complicated because I’m Muslim and there’s something going on in the world that 100 percent of Muslims care about,” Rahma told the Times. “And then they made it worse by talking about anchovies. Boring!”
Kamala’s appearance on Subway Takes was so incompetent that the show never aired.
