🚨BREAKING: Joe Rogan says Kamala Harris campaign LIED about him “not making time for Kamala.”
Rogan: “Today, I guess it’s probably a good time to talk about this. There was a thing that came out recently, there was a book, a book about the Kamala Harris campaign where they talked about her getting on this show. And they said a bunch of things that weren’t true.
They talked to supposedly 150 different people about her and what happened with her coming on the show. I don’t know if it’s 150, a lot of people. They didn’t talk to us, which is kind of crazy. They didn’t even ask. But they said things that just weren’t true. One of the things they said that weren’t true was that we lied about the day that Trump was coming on. No, we just didn’t tell you that Trump was coming on. He was already booked a long time ago. This is how it worked: Trump was really easy to book, super easy. We offered one day, he said yes, that was it. There was no ‘What are we going to talk about? How long is it going to be? Is it going to be edited?’ There was nothing. ‘What’s the waiver? Here, give me that waiver, sign it.’ It was so easy. So he was already booked.
They never committed to doing the show. So all this talk, there was another thing they said: that the reason why they did the Beyoncé thing, the Beyoncé event in Houston, was so they could be in Texas to do my show. They never agreed to do the show. None of that is true. They never agreed. They also said that they sent someone down here to the studio to do a walkthrough of the set. That’s not true. The Trump administration did. I mean, if they are trying to say that ‘they,’ as in the entire federal government, well, I don’t think the Trump… I guess the Secret Service is a part of the federal government. Maybe you can kind of get away with saying that because the Secret Service came down here for Trump and looked around that we sent someone down, but it was not. It was the Trump administration. They are the only ones that had a date to do the show. These people didn’t have a date to do… They never agreed to do the show.
This is really important. Even after Trump went on, they offered for me to come to DC and do a show with Kamala. But even then, it was the same deal: it was only like 45 minutes to an hour, and it was not on my set. And I said that, look, he did it here, we should probably do it here. If it’s possible to do it here. Obviously, when he did it, it had an enormous result. I’m willing to do the same thing for her. I wanted to release both of them on the same day. This was my goal. I was even trying to figure out if there was a way that I could do it, and I even offered to do it late that night. So the night that Trump came on, I’m like, ‘What if we do her, like when she’s done in Texas, if she came here?’ But no one ever committed to doing it. This is really important because they keep pretending that I lied or I did this, or I did that. No one… They never committed to doing it. We offered. We went through…
I’ve got a whole, by the way, we have all the receipts, by the way. I have a whole list of conversations that took place. They never said she was going to do it. So this whole idea that we messed her over and then we messed her over for Trump—is incorrect. Just not true. And, you know, but I think it’s someone trying to cover their *ss for the fact that she never did it, and if she did do it, it might have had a positive effect. If her and I had a good time and we got along great and she won over, you know, the ‘young male’ vote, things could have been different. Who knows? So this guy is probably trying to cover his *ss. That’s what I’m thinking, too, is because the reaction to her not coming was like pretty big. But they didn’t commit to doing it.
This is the thing. While this guy is saying that we were difficult to deal with— not true. We were super easy. We made it real clear. But also it’s gotta be the actual real show. It shouldn’t be some fake version of it, where I’m sitting in a conference room. Oh, also, they wanted a stenographer in the room, they wanted staff in the room, they wanted to… Trump was just in here by himself. Just me, him, and Jamie. That’s it, for three hours. They wanted to do everything… They wanted it very controlled and they were really concerned that it wasn’t going to be edited. So I don’t think they ever really were sure they wanted to do it. Then once Trump did it and it had this huge response, I think then it was like, ‘What the f***? What do we do now?’ He just did it, it’s got 50 f***ing million views, this is so stupid. Why didn’t we do it? And so then there was… Even then when they offered to do it in DC, my manager asked, ‘Is she committed to doing this? If I bring this to Joe?’ ‘No, she hasn’t committed to doing this.’ ‘Have you brought this to her?’ Like, they wouldn’t even say whether or not she had expressed willingness to do it or whether they were trying to convince her to do it.
There was… We know for sure, there were some people that were supposedly on her staff that were against her doing it. They thought it was a bad… Because, you know, it’s a bunch of wokesters. They’re basically in a cult. You have a… Like if you’re willing to go on Fox News, you talk to… What’s that guy’s name? Bret Baier? Yeah. Well, they cut that off after 20 minutes. When they did that, that’s when I was like, ‘Look, it’s gotta be in the studio. It’s gotta be in the studio and it’s gotta be real. It’s gotta be a real conversation.’ I had entertained a couple of times going into… But I’m like, 45 minutes is just not enough. You and I have been talking an hour and a half already. Yeah. It’s just not enough time. You need more time. You need more time to find out what makes someone tick. And that’s probably what she was afraid of… I think we would have had a good old time.”
