Joe Rogan brutally rejects Kamala Harris’s list of demands to appear on his podcast

The world's biggest podcast host, Joe Rogan, has exposed a list of Kamala Harris's demands in order to appear on his show. Following the hugely successful podcast interview between Joe Rogan and Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump, which was viewed 38 million times and counting, there have been calls for Kamala Harris to sit down with Joe Rogan in the same long-form interview style.

Nothing has been locked in, but Joe Rogan released a statement on X outlining communication between him and the Harris camp, with a list of their requests for the interview. He said, "Also for the record, the Harris campaign has not passed on doing the podcast. They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her, and they only wanted to do an hour. I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin. My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being. I really hope we can make it happen."

This statement attracted a huge response from online commentators, with Charlie Kirk saying, "America deserves three hours with Kamala and Joe Rogan unscripted. Hope it happens and she stops trying to dictate the terms. You have a format; it works. She should stop trying to change it, just like America." This commentator doubled down, saying, "In-studio is the only way. Let the whole world see the real Kamala Harris. What are they scared of?"

The request to change the normal Joe Rogan Experience podcast interview terms comes after Donald Trump slammed his opponent, saying she wouldn't be able to make it through a three-hour long conversation. "One of the things I like about doing a show like this, can you imagine Kamala doing this show? I could imagine her doing, laying on the floor. She was supposed to do it, and she might still do it, and I hope she does. She's not going."

"I will talk to her like a human being. I will try to have a kind of an interview with you. I hope she does, because it would be a mess. She'd be laying on the floor. She, you'd be saying, 'Call in the medics.' I think we'd have a fine conversation. I think I'd be able to talk to her. I wouldn't try to interview her; I just try to have a conversation with her and hopefully get to know her as a human being. That was my goal, having her on, trying to get her to express herself."

"Just as a—I don't know if these—I don't think these formats are good. I don't think that two people, first of all, I hate the idea of the presidential debates, because I hate the idea of a time limitation on complex ideas. So you have to break. I think you have to have the debates though."

And whilst Kamala Harris's camp tries to negotiate terms with Rogan, vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance has seized on the publicity opportunity and will appear on the number one podcast. Outspoken entrepreneur Andrew Yang reacted to the news, saying, "Now that J.D. Vance is going on Joe Rogan, it's all the more important that Kamala Harris also does so."

Kamala Harris's demands come after she has suffered through weeks of gaffe-ridden appearances, reveals Sky News host Kell Richards. "This is why she's such an appalling candidate. She's the worst candidate since Hillary Clinton, and we know what happened to her. So she's just a really—she cannot very quickly off the top of her head think of a clever way or an appropriate way or a tactically good way to react. So she did this really stupid thing of going to the rally down the street: 'You don't belong in my rally!' If you want to say 'Jesus'—I mean, that's, as you say, America is a far more religious country than Australia. The vast majority of them are Baptists. They don't want to hear a candidate saying that. She's done herself a lot of damage."

"And then the idea that you can repair it by going to church tells you that Kamala might be Christian on a Tuesday, but not on a Wednesday, or maybe she's Christian at 3:00 but not at 4:00. And that's exactly the problem. She's this changeable, could be anything, chameleon. Don’t know what she believes; don’t know who she is. Candidate, and she's underlined that. Yes, I’m really like that. I’m really this very uncertain person, and you’ll never know who I really am or what I really believe. This is her doing self-damage. She's had a really bad week, and at the end of the week, she's just making it worse."

Sky News host Rowan Dean agrees, saying, "The Kamala Harris campaign has been a disaster, but, uh, Rita, it is looking like Donald Trump will win. That is certainly where things are heading at the moment. But the key thing is that the Kamala Harris campaign really, really has been a disaster. However you look at her, she is just a woeful candidate. Put all politics aside; just as a performing candidate, she is hopeless, I would say."
