Massively popular YouTube show rejected Kamala interview; Harris campaign claims she was 'ready, willing to go on Joe Rogan'



The massively popular YouTube show "Hot Ones" rejected a proposed pre-election appearance by Vice President Kamala Harris, according to her campaign leaders.

On Tuesday, Harris campaign chiefs made an appearance on "Pod Save America" — a left-wing political podcast hosted by former Obama aides Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer, and Tommy Vietor.

'So, we had discussions with Joe Rogan’s team. They were great. They wanted us to come on.'

The Harris campaign heads attempted to explain why Kamala lost to Donald Trump despite the Harris campaign spending roughly $1.5 billion in 15 weeks.

"This political environment sucked. We were dealing with ferocious headwinds, and I think people's instinct was to give the Republicans and even Donald Trump another chance," stated Harris campaign senior adviser David Plouffe.

Harris campaign senior adviser Jen O’Malley Dillon claimed that Kamala didn't succeed because she didn't have enough time.

“In a 107-day race, it is very difficult to do all the things you would normally do in a year and a half, two years,” Dillon alleged.

The Harris leaders claimed that time constraints prevented Kamala from appearing on "The Joe Rogan Experience."

“I hate to repeat this over and over, but it was a very short race with a limited number of days, and for a candidate to leave the battleground and go to Houston is a day off the playing field in the battleground [states],” Harris campaign staffer Stephanie Cutter alleged. “As it turns out, that was the day that Trump was taping his Joe Rogan [episode], which they had never confirmed to us. We kind of figured that out, in the lead-up to it. ... She was ready, willing to go on Joe Rogan. So we had discussions with Joe Rogan’s team. They were great. They wanted us to come on. We wanted to come on. We tried to get a date to make it work, and ultimately we just weren’t able to find a date.”

However, Joe Rogan claimed that he offered to interview Harris at any time to make it happen as long it was a long-form conversation in his Austin studio.

"You could look at this and you can say, ‘Oh, you’re being a diva,’ but she had an opportunity to come here when she was in Texas, and I literally gave them an open invitation. I said anytime," Rogan explained. "I said if she’s done at 10, we'll come back here at 10. I go, I’ll do it at nine in the morning, I’ll do it at 10 p.m. I’ll do it at midnight if she’s up, if she wants to, you know, drink a Red Bull."

As Blaze News previously reported, Rogan stated that the Harris campaign wanted an interview that would be under one hour long in a location outside his Austin studio.

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville previously skewered the Harris campaign for not doing an interview with Rogan — host of the most popular podcast in the world.

Meanwhile, Trump embraced long-form podcasts that garnered massive audiences with young, male Americans. Trump did a nearly three-hour podcast on "The Joe Rogan Experience" in Austin as well as making appearances on comedian Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend,” golfer Bryson DeChambeau’s “Break 50,” Mark “The Undertaker” Calaway’s “Six Feet Under,” and Barstool Sports’ “Bussin' with the Boys.”

The Harris campaign attempted to counter by requesting to appear on the extremely popular internet show "Hot Ones."

The well-received YouTube show features host Sean Evans interviewing celebrities while they eat progressively spicier chicken wings.

However, the producers of the "Hot Ones" show rejected the Harris campaign's request to have Kamala on the show before the 2024 election.

"Pod Save America" host Dan Pfeiffer said, "'Hot Ones' as an example. Like, there never in time has there been a candidate better suited for a podcast than Kamala Harris on 'Hot Ones.'"

Cutter noted that the Harris campaign tried to get her on the show, but "Hot Ones" producers didn't want to get involved in the divisive world of politics.

“I think, if I remember correctly, on 'Hot Ones,' that they didn’t wanna delve into politics,” Cutter noted. "Anybody that took him would take us. It was more some of the, like, like 'Hot Ones,' which is a great show, they didn’t want to do any politics, so they weren’t going to take us or him. So that was the issue. But we got on plenty of them, and the bottom line is she was willing to do just about anything and have a conversation with anybody regardless of where they sat."

"Hot Ones" has more than 14 million followers on YouTube. Episodes of "Hot Ones" regularly have millions of views, and the episode with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has nearly 130 million views.

The "Hot Ones" podcast did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Beast.

Joe Rogan said hippies, musicians thanked him for endorsing Trump because they were afraid of being attacked



Joe Rogan said hippies, artists, musicians, and comedians reached out to thank him for endorsing President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

During a recent episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," the prolific podcaster said celebrities thanked him for endorsing him because they could not give public support to Trump over fears of attacks.

'They don’t want to be attacked.'

“There’s a lot of people that don’t speak their mind. Do you know how many artists that have reached out to me that are, like, f***ing hippies, man, like artists, like musicians, comedians that thanked me for endorsing Trump because they can’t do it?” Rogan said.

“They said they want to, but they don’t wanna be attacked. They can’t say it. They think the country is going in the wrong direction," Rogan said during Wednesday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

Rogan did not name the names of the celebrities who secretly supported Trump.

"A lot of what people say, they say it because they don’t want people to attack them. They say it because they think that if they say it, it will clear them; they’ll be OK,” Rogan explained.

Rogan added, "If you say you support ‘x’ — you might not even support ‘x’ — but if you say you support ‘x,’ you’re not going to get attacked, and the right people will leave you alone or agree with you and appreciate you or praise you."

During the podcast, Rogan warned that having an ideological media cover government leaders could be "dangerous," "whether it’s a right-wing government or a left-wing government, and that what you see that’s happening in the U.K. where people are being imprisoned for tweets and Facebook posts. It’s f***ing crazy."

"Mind-bending. The whole thing is nuts," Rogan added. "And it’s a dangerous path that we were on. We were on that path. Trump has vowed to have free speech become a very important part of what he’s standing for and that this censoring of information needs to stop and that we need to stop all government influence in what people have to say."

Rogan interviewed billionaire Elon Musk right before the election and discussed the significant issues heading into the 2024 election. Musk said Harris would use the levers of government to shut down the X social media platform if elected.

Rogan made his endorsement of Trump on the eve of the 2024 election — less than two weeks after interviewing the former president on his massively popular podcast.

Rogan's three-hour interview with Trump garnered a whopping 50 million views on just YouTube alone.

As Blaze News recently reported, Rogan said Vice President Kamala Harris wouldn't do an interview on "The Joe Rogan Experience" because her campaign set parameters on the duration of the interview and the site of the meeting and wanted to avoid certain topics such as marijuana legalization.

During Friday's episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" with Evan Hafer, former Green Beret with the 19th Special Forces Group and founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company, Rogan somewhat jokingly theorized that President Joe Biden voted for Trump in the 2024 election.

"Do you know what one of my f***ing favorite things about this election cycle has been? Yesterday, when Biden and Trump sat down in the White House. Biden voted for Trump, I guarantee it. I f***ing guarantee it. I never saw that dude so happy in his f***ing life," Rogan said.

"He lost. His party lost. He was happy," Rogan noted.

"Look at his f****ng smile, dude," Rogan said of a smiling Biden with Trump at the White House. "That's like when your kid gets married."

"But look at that smile. That motherf***er has never been happier in his life – in his life," Rogan told Hafer.

Rogan noted that some Democrats warned that Trump was Adolf Hitler but was welcomed into the White House by Biden.

4 things Elon Musk told Joe Rogan before his 11th-hour Trump endorsement



Joe Rogan, the massively popular podcaster who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2020 and signaled he would back Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) were he to go the distance in 2024, long expressed reluctance about having President Donald Trump on his show.

Rogan finally gave in late last month and sat down for three hours with the Republican president for an interview that went viral despite YouTube's apparent censorship efforts. Although the titular host of "The Joe Rogan Experience" appeared receptive to Trump's various policy proposals and his commentary about the issues facing the nation, Rogan refrained from endorsing the president — until Monday night after Elon Musk detailed his own reasons for backing Trump.

Rogan noted after the nearly three-hour interview Monday that Musk, a former Democrat, made "the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear" and agreed with the tech magnate "every step of the way."

While their conversation was replete with indications that might account for why Rogan finally endorsed Kamala Harris' opponent — such as the falsity of both the Democrat-constructed Russian collusion narrative and the party's promise of change; Harris' censorial reflex and dislikable personality; economic woes; Democrats' failure or unwillingness to tackle crime; reckless government spending; the border crisis; the promise of Trump's "Make America Healthy Again" movement; and the slaying of Peanut the squirrel — Musk highlighted four key reasons Trump was the optimal choice.

To save America from a 'one-party state'

Musk, who has reportedly poured hundreds of millions of dollars into efforts to see Trump elected, emphasized that should the Republican candidate lose the election, America will in turn "lose the two-party system."

The tech billionaire reasoned that there are only a handful of swing states where the margin of victory is small, "often 10 or 20,000 votes."

Musk echoed the concern Rogan raised with Sen. John Fetterman on the previous episode, namely that "the Democrat administration has been ... importing vast numbers of illegal aliens into swing states."

"What we're seeing is triple-digit increases in the numbers of illegals in every swing state. Some cases, 700% increases. These are gigantic numbers," said Musk, stressing that these numbers are far in excess of what would be necessary to permanently lock swing states for the Democrats.

'If Trump doesn't win, this is the last election.'

"Once the swing states vote blue, there is no election anymore," continued Musk. "There's only a Democrat primary."

"Which is so crazy," Rogan responded. "And it's so crazy that people are fine with that."

Musk indicated that the ultimate result would be a "one-party state" whose Democratic commissars could continue the project of overwhelming resistive states with illegal aliens until the remaining resistance is electorally neutralized.

While the Tesla CEO intimated that amnesty might play a big role in this scheme, he indicated that illegal aliens will be able to put their thumbs on the scale long before receiving citizenship, referencing successful Democratic efforts to eliminate voter ID laws.

Steven Camarota, the director of research for the Center of Immigration Studies, noted in a recent op-ed that illegal aliens are also counted in the census, meaning blue states will enjoy greater and greater representation in Congress the longer the border crisis goes unchecked.

"If Trump doesn't win, this is the last election," reiterated Musk.

Rogan replied, "I think you're right."

To save the Constitution

Musk noted that there has been a concerted campaign by Democrats to infringe upon Americans' rights and to render the Constitution a dead document.

"There have been all these attacks on the Constitution, especially on the Democrat side. They have been repeatedly saying that the First Amendment is an obstacle," said Musk. "And they're claiming, 'Oh, the First Amendment is enabling disinformation, misinformation.' And I'm like, 'Yo, there's a reason for the First Amendment.'"

Democrats have been explicit about their problems with the First Amendment and the speech rights it guarantees.

Tim Wu, a former special assistant to President Biden for competition and tech policy and author of one of Biden's executive orders, complained in July that the "First Amendment is out of control" and recommended reining it in.

Former Biden-Harris climate czar John Kerry noted during a World Economic Forum panel discussion on trade and so-called sustainability in September that "our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer ['disinformation'] out of existence."

The Biden-Harris administration has evidenced in practice its hostility toward free speech. For instance, it leaned on social media companies to silence dissenting voices during the pandemic; launched the Department of Homeland Security's short-lived Disinformation Governance Board and tasked an advocate for deplatforming Trump to run the censorship outfit; weaponized the State Department to clamp down on undesirable speech; and worked to control speech on the internet.

"If you don't have freedom of speech, you don't have democracy," Musk told Rogan. "If you don't have freedom of speech, people cannot make an informed vote. If they're just being fed propaganda, and there's no freedom of speech, democracy is an illusion."

Musk noted further that the Second Amendment — similarly under assault by Harris and her fellow Democrats — serves to ensure Americans can fight off those tyrannical forces that would dare undermine the First Amendment.

"I've had these debates, especially with people in L.A., because they want to take everyone's guns away, and I'm like, 'Yo, can you guarantee me that the government — that we'll never have a tyrannical government in the United States? Can you make that guarantee?' They're like, 'Well, nobody can make that guarantee.' I'm like, 'Then we need to keep our guns,'" said Musk. "Because that's what's going to stop it."

Harris' campaign website noted that if elected, she would "ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require universal background checks, and support red flag laws that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people."

In the past, Harris has threatened to storm the homes of law-abiding Americans for surprise gun inspections and sponsored a handgun ban.

To save America from suffocating regulation

Musk told Rogan that regulation has stymied innovation, such that it apparently takes longer for Space X to gain approval from regulatory agencies for a rocket launch than it takes to build the actual rockets.

When making his case for why a return to Trump's style of relative deregulation is optimal, Musk likened regulators to referees in a game of football.

"You don't want to have no refs. You want to have some number of refs. But you don't want to have way more refs than players," said Musk. "'Well, the running back couldn't complete the pass because there were too many regulators in the way because the football field was full of regulators.' Like, you can't even play the game."

Musk said in September that if Trump wins, "We do have an opportunity to do kind of a once-in-a-lifetime deregulation and reduction in the size of government."

To save America from foreign entanglements

The duo broached the subject of the left's desperate attempts to liken Trump to Adolf Hitler. Musk made a point of noting that Hitler is so despised because he committed genocide and effectively started war with Western civilization.

"Tell me about the wars and genocide that Trump did. Uh, I don't remember that, and he was president for four years," said Musk. "It's insane. It makes no sense."

Rogan noted, "He's campaigning on stopping all the wars. It's like his primary concern."

'Vote like your life depends on it because I think it does.'

"Exactly! The war mongers like Liz Cheney hate him," added Musk. "Because they love war. ... They profit off of war."

Former Jan. 6 committee member Liz Cheney and her father, Dick Cheney — a champion of the invasion of Iraq, which cost thousands of U.S. service lives and trillions of dollars — are among the interventionists who have backed Harris. Harris and Cheney recently denounced Trump's "isolationism," calling his aversion to foreign entanglements "dangerous."

Rogan indicated that he felt a sense of cognitive dissonance when the left celebrated Dick Cheney's Harris endorsement: "It's the craziest turn — the craziest 180 I've ever seen in my life."

"Yeah, can we play all the videos where you said Dick Cheney was the devil?" Musk replied, laughing.

"The war-profiteers hate Trump," said Musk. "Which is f***ed up. ... We should be like, 'Yeah, let's vote for the guy war-profiteers hate. That sounds like a great idea.'"

The tech billionaire noted further that the "Kamala puppet regime" is a guarantee for more war.

Musk concluded the interview by emphasizing the "men need to vote."

"This is a message to the men out there: Vote like your life depends on it because I think it does," said Musk. "Nothing is more important."

'They're desperate': Joe Rogan rails against YouTube's apparent censorship of Trump interview



Earlier this week, Americans experienced difficulty tracking down President Donald Trump's three-hour interview with Joe Rogan on YouTube, which presently has over 41.5 million views on the Google-owned platform. The hotly anticipated interview was also glaringly absent from the platform's trending page on Monday.

Rather than connect would-be viewers with the unfiltered interview, YouTube inundated users with results for antagonistic legacy media reports about the interview and unrelated videos — a redirection strategy that Rogan indicated had a dramatic impact on traffic.

Rogan blasted YouTube on the Wednesday episode of his show, telling stand-up comic Francis Foster and political commentator Konstantin Kisin that the apparent censorship effort reeked of desperation.

"There's no way this was a mistake," said Rogan. "That's too convenient."

The titular host of "The Joe Rogan Experience" noted that he initially gave YouTube the benefit of the doubt: "I'm like, 'I'm sure it was a mistake. There's no way that it was on purpose.' And so if you googled 'Rogan Trump,' you could only get clips. You couldn't watch the whole episode. You couldn't find it."

'There is massive far left censorship at Google/YouTube.'

David Heinemeier Hansson, the co-owner of the software company Basecamp, shared footage of his unsuccessful attempt to find the interview on Monday, tweeting, "Tried to find the Rogan/Trump interview on YouTube but no matter what I search, it's not coming up. Would be beyond bonkers if they're actively trying to suppress it. Must be a glitch, right?"

Hansson, whose original concerns were amplified by Rogan, noted further that numerous variations of his search, including "jre trump" and "trump on rogan," similarly failed to produce the desired result.

Rogan told Foster and Kisin that not only could potential voters not find the video, YouTube refused to highlight the Trump interview in its trending section, despite the video far surpassing the competition by leaps and bounds. He indicated that this omission revealed either that the section is meaningless or that something foul was afoot.

According to Rogan, amid YouTube's apparent election-time censorship attempts, Elon Musk — who stressed that "there is massive far left censorship at Google/YouTube" and noted that "Alphabet (Google/YouTube) is the #1 biggest donor to the Democratic Party" — reached out to Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, successfully porting the entire interview to X to ensure its visibility.

"So now it has way more views," said Rogan, referring to the tens of millions of additional views it has since netted on Musk's platform.

'They hate it because ideologically they're opposed to the idea of him being more popular.'

"You can't suppress s***. It doesn't work," said Rogan. "This is the internet. This is 2024. People are going to realize what you're doing. If you try to make it so that something can't come up in a search engine because it's too popular — first of all, if that's not trending, then you tell me what the f*** is."

YouTube said in a statement Monday evening:

Since airing Friday, the interview has generated over 34 million views on YouTube and counting, making it Joe Rogan's most viewed episode of the year. For some searches on Monday the original 3-hour interview didn't appear prominently. Short excerpts uploaded by the Joe Rogan channel appeared, but we know it was frustrating for users looking to find the full video. We've worked to resolve this and viewers will begin seeing the full podcast in more YouTube search results soon.

While Rogan indicated that the censorship was unmistakable, he expressed openness to the possibility that rather than an institutional effort on the part of Google to once again interfere for the ostensible benefit of Democrats, "it could have been like some rogue engineer. There's a lot of people that are working behind the scenes."

According to OpenSecrets, individuals at Google's parent company, Alphabet, have donated over $2.2 million to the Harris campaign this election cycle, as well as $1.6 million to the Harris super PAC Future Forward USA and millions more to congressional and Senate Democrats.

Google has also been accused in recent months of manipulating the autocomplete feature for its search engine to suppress information about Donald Trump. An attorney for Alphabet Inc. admitted to Congress in August that the autocomplete tool for its search function hid results about an ActBlue donor's attempt on Trump's life in Pennsylvania.

Earlier this year, Google also reportedly killed a pro-Trump ad for a supposed "policy violation."

"I think they're desperate because they had no idea it was going to be that popular," said Rogan. "It's a runaway train, and they hate it because ideologically they're opposed to the idea of him being more popular."

BlazeTV host Steve Deace recently underscored the social and political significance of the interview, writing, "The benefit of this interview for candidate Trump could be equivalent to the largest and most expensive media ad buy in political history — something unattainable given the resources and precise messaging required to pull it off effectively."

Rogan suggested that leftists largely control "these massive media distribution companies like YouTube or Facebook. They're massive companies. They have so much influence on everything. And they didn't like that this one was slipping away."

Google's antipathy for Trump is likely not all ideological. In 2020, Trump signed an executive order with the aim of limiting legal protections for social media companies and signaled a desire to implement new regulations on Big Tech.

"Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube wield immense, if not unprecedented, power to shape the interpretation of public events; to censor, delete, or disappear information; and to control what people see or do not see," wrote Trump. "As President, I have made clear my commitment to free and open debate on the internet."

Rogan and Trump challenge the 'Spirit of the Age' in an epic interview



I just finished Joe Rogan’s interview with Donald Trump and wanted to share my thoughts while it’s still fresh in my mind.

This interview will likely be the most consequential political event of my lifetime — maybe ever. Future interviews will try to emulate its style and influence, making it a generational harbinger much like the Kennedy-Nixon presidential debate of 1960. But whatever comes next will only build on the precedent set here for the following reasons.

If the culture war needs voices like Rogan and Trump, so be it.

Rogan arguably has the widest reach of any show since Oprah Winfrey, and his audience is distinct: men who see themselves as truth-seekers and who distrust the current political and media landscape.

For better or worse, Rogan now guides more of the next generation of male discipleship and leadership in this country than the church does — an influence shift that the church has allowed.

Trump is arguably now the most famous living person in human history. And yet the largest platform in the country was still able to grant him the opportunity to counter so many misconceptions of who he actually is, what he actually thinks, and the resistance movement he represents.

This interview alone won't erase nearly a decade of malevolent corporate journalism, but it's a D-Day invasion-level event. The marriage of the largest alternative media platform yet devised and the biggest living threat to the current media-political-industrial complex has established a beachhead in the enemy's occupied territory. Just as June 6, 1944, forever shifted the momentum in the last great war, it is quite possible that October 25, 2024, will be seen by future generations as the great momentum-shifter in the great information war.

The benefit of this interview for candidate Trump could be equivalent to the largest and most expensive media ad buy in political history — something unattainable given the resources and precise messaging required to pull it off effectively.

This may become the most-watched interview in human history, featuring a candidate whose last two campaigns were decided by a combined margin of fewer than 130,000 votes in key swing states. It granted him an unrestricted platform to redefine himself for millions just as the election unfolds.

This single conversation inflicted more epistemological damage on the Spirit of the Age that threatens Western civilization than the Christian Church has managed in a generation. Once the institution that shaped this civilization, the church has become weakened and passive in confronting today’s cultural battles.

It was just two individuals, each with their own unconventional beliefs, pursuing truth, common sense, and the common good. It’s clear why the Spirit of the Age attempted to dismantle Rogan’s platform during the COVID-19 pandemic and has targeted Trump himself for assassination not once but twice. By contrast, it’s equally clear why many pastors don’t face such opposition — they simply aren’t seen as a threat, and tragically, few even aspire to be.

The conversation about environmentalism may be the best example. Trump demonstrated a surprising command of the issue and, in one interview, inflicted more damage on a core tenet of the left’s occult religion than I’ve ever seen in a single setting. Given Rogan’s largely post-partisan audience, the reach and impact of this moment are significant.

This was cultural evangelism in action. Trump dismantled the left's climate narrative as effectively as John of Damascus challenged Islam or Francis Schaeffer deconstructed the counterculture. This approach poses a serious threat to the prevailing Spirit of the Age.

If Trump and Rogan can reframe common sense in a way that transcends the mostly artificial partisan divide, they present a far more existential threat to societal darkness than the current state of the church, sadly. This conversation unfolds against the backdrop of leftists attacking publications like the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times for not rubbing their bellies.

This interview also signals where the culture war may go post-Trump. With the church caught up in self-censorship and essentially emasculating itself, something else must emerge to confront the darkness. Would God prefer to use our family-values pastors who speak with little vice? Absolutely. But just as Gideon sounded the trumpet for battle, the church has decided it has better things to do.

So if the culture war needs voices like Rogan and Trump, so be it. As believers, we shouldn’t compromise our core principles — we’re not allowed that luxury. But we should recognize where the battle is, go there, and stand with those willing to fight. Not everyone storming the beaches of Normandy was a devout believer, yet they fought. Cast aside your sweater vests and furrowed brows and join this fight while we still can. Joe Rogan’s interview with Donald Trump confirms that this battle will happen — with or without us.

‘A Child Would Know’ Better: Trump Blasts Biden’s Disastrous Afghanistan Withdrawal

On Friday, Donald Trump blasted Joe Biden for his “horribly” managed 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan that got 13 American service members killed. The moment came during a three-hour conversation between the former president and comedian Joe Rogan on the latter’s “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. The men were discussing the implications of U.S. foreign policy under […]

Joe Rogan torches MSNBC for 'deceptively' editing clip to appear he praised Kamala Harris, addresses $30M alleged lawsuit



Joe Rogan slammed MSNBC for “deceptively editing” a video clip that made it appear that the massively popular podcaster was praising Vice President Kamala Harris.

As Blaze News previously reported earlier this month, Rogan predicted that Harris would defeat former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election — not necessarily on her merits but rather by the overwhelming propaganda supporting Kamala.

'I think someone that’s willing to do something like that — that’s a real offense.'

During an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast with guest Michael Malice that aired on July 30, Rogan torched the Democratic Party for not embracing Tulsi Gabbard as a presidential candidate because it had an agenda.

Rogan touted Gabbard as "a strong woman."

"She is a person who served overseas twice in a medical unit," he added. "So she got to see people blown up by the war. She was a congresswoman for eight years."

MSNBC posted the clip from the "The Joe Rogan Experience" on its TikTok social media page and edited it to make it appear that Rogan was referring to Harris during those remarks instead of Gabbard.

Gabbard posted the MSNBC clip on her X social media account with the caption: "MSNBC is again EXPOSED as a propaganda machine for the Democrat Elite, and how they will brazenly try to deceive the American people."

On Aug. 2, Gabbard described the MSNBC clip as "completely false."

She added, "Furthermore, it’s another violation of the FEC law by failing to report their propaganda as a contribution to Kamala’s campaign."

MSNBC has since replaced the questionable clip and issued a correction.

"We have removed an earlier version of this post that incorrectly implied Joe Rogan was talking more about Vice President Kamala Harris. He was referring to Tulsi Gabbard," MSNBC stated in a note added to the new version of the video

Rogan commented on the edited MSNBC clip on a recent episode of his incredibly popular podcast. Rogan also addressed the unfounded rumors on social media that he was going to sue MSNBC for $30 million regarding the edited video clip.

Rogan noted that his stepfather recently called him to tell him that he is "happy" that he is suing MSNBC.

Rogan responded, "I'm not suing MSNBC."

The prolific podcaster explained, "But this is what MSNBC did: They took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard, and they edited it up and made it look like I was saying great things about Kamala Harris."

Guest Andrew Huberman — podcaster and neuroscientist — responded in shock, "Wait, what?"

Rogan responded, "They just deceptively edited the things I was saying. They took it completely out of context what I was talking about. First of all, I was talking about Tulsi Gabbard, and then I was talking about the media behind Kamala Harris, all this surge and all these people deciding that she can win, and they put the two of those together and made it seem like I was praising Kamala Harris."

Rogan noted that he was absolutely talking about Gabbard's accomplishments, such as serving overseas as part of two deployments in the military.

"That’s not something Kamala Harris did," he stressed. "That’s something Tulsi Gabbard did."

Rogan blasted MSNBC, "They don’t care about the truth; they just want a narrative to get out there amongst enough people because most people are just surface readers."

“We’re in a very weird time with media, and I think truth is super important," he continued. "I think someone that’s willing to do something like that — that’s a real offense. It's a real offense. It's not a small thing. It's a real lie, and it’s a lie that changes other people's opinions."

Rogan said "gross" lies like that are "dangerous."

Rogan has not officially endorsed Harris or Trump but did heap praise on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. before he ended his presidential campaign earlier this month.

Joe Rogan blasts Democratic Party as not supporting democracy, declares who would be a superior candidate over Kamala Harris



Joe Rogan took the Democratic Party to task on a recent podcast episode, where he also declared who he believes would be a superior presidential candidate over Vice President Kamala Harris. Rogan also made his 2024 presidential election prediction and warned of another presidential assassination attempt.

On an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" released this week, the prolific podcaster was joined by Michael Malice – an author, podcaster, and anarchist political commentator. The duo discussed a myriad of political topics, including the 180-degree flip of the portrayal of Harris by the legacy media, the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, how the Democratic Party forgoes democracy by propping up Kamala without holding any primary elections, and so-called "gender-affirming care" for children.

'It's not real democracy. It’s controlled parties.'

Malice remarked that it is the "gaslighting" regarding Harris that bothers him the most.

Rogan pointed out how Harris was the least popular vice president of all time, and now she is a media darling.

"And then in a moment, a moment in time, all of a sudden, she’s our solution," Rogan declared. "She's our hero. Everybody’s with her, all these social media posts about her. Try Googling a negative story on her, you won’t find one. Ta-da!”

An NBC News poll published in June 2023 showed that only 32% of registered voters have a positive view of Harris, compared to 49% with a negative view, including 39% with a "very negative view." Harris had a net -17 rating, which was the lowest for any vice president in the poll’s history.

Social media users have contended that influential internet search engines are suppressing news about Trump while elevating positive news about Harris.

Malice said the media has been covering for Harris for years. Malice recalled the second 2020 Democratic presidential primary debate when then-Rep. Tulsi Gabbard obliterated Harris.

Malice said, "So in 2019, our pal Tulsi absolutely nuked her [Harris] in that second debate."

Following Kamala's disastrous debate at the hands of Gabbard, she plummeted to single digits in the polls and dropped out of the race in December 2019.

Meanwhile, Gabbard was the most Googled candidate after the first, second, and fourth 2020 Democratic debates. Gabbard ended her presidential campaign in March 2020.

Rogan then bashed the Democratic Party for not embracing Gabbard as a presidential candidate because it has an agenda.

"Well, it just shows you that what they’re looking for is not what they say they’re looking for,” Rogan stated. “Because she [Tulsi] is a strong woman. She is a person who served overseas twice in a medical unit. So she got to see people blown up by the war. She was a congresswoman for eight years.”

Rogan continued, "She is a person of color. She’s everything you want, all those things you want, and yet you don’t want her."

Malice theorized that the Democratic Party brushed aside Gabbard because she's "not for war."

Rogan added, "Yes, well, she’s also just not willing to play ball. There’s a game that’s being played, and if you’re like, 'Hey, you’re not supposed to f***ing move the ball.' 'Like, oh, look at this b***h over here. Like, get out of here. You’re gonna f*** up our game.' It’s not real democracy. It’s controlled parties.”

Despite knocking Harris, Rogan proclaimed that Harris would defeat Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

“She’s gonna win,” Rogan said of Kamala.

Malice disagreed and said Harris would not win November's election because "the more she talks" the worse she would perform with voters.

He pointed to Kamala's failed 2020 presidential campaign: "How bad do you have to be that you can’t even make Iowa? She couldn't even compete with the mayor of South Bend."

Malice also questioned Kamala's intelligence and cited her 2020 quote about Ukraine and Russia.

"So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia," she said. "Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for."

Malice also believed that Harris would not get the black male vote in the way that Biden did.

He added that anyone not voting for Harris would be labeled a racist and a sexist.

Rogan noted that Harris could win the election not necessarily on her merits but rather by the overwhelming propaganda supporting Kamala.

"I feel like we are in this very bizarre time where people are giving into the bulls**t in a way that I never suspected people would before," Rogan said. "They just want no Trump no matter what, and they're willing to gaslight themselves."

Rogan admitted that he thought the assassination attempt on Trump would have galvanized his presidential chances. However, he highlighted how the corporate media "memory-holed" the assassination attempt on the former president.

The podcasters discussed how Google’s auto-complete search feature did not generate an autogenerated suggestion when typing in “Trump assassination attempt.”

Google contended, "There was no manual action taken. Our systems have protections against Autocomplete predictions associated with political violence, which were working as intended prior to this horrific event."

Rogan and Malice both agreed that there would be another assassination attempt on Trump.

Rogan asked, "Do you think they're gonna try to take him [Trump] out again?"

Malice replied, “Yes.”

Rogan agreed, "Yeah, I do too. I think if they did that, this is not the only time they're gonna do that. And then also, that one was so Lee Harvey Oswald, it was so perfect lone gunman, take him out."
