The first outreach, Rogan claimed, came from Harris’ team – probably after they learned that Donald Trump was set to join his podcast.
While Rogan made an open invite, the Harris campaign insisted on a one-hour interview and that he go to her. The terms were refused by Rogan, who opted to record in his Austin studio.
He said he would work around Harris’ schedule to make it happen-offering to record with him at any time, even into the late hours of night or early morning. He claimed that everything was on the table and that he’d take a no-nonsense approach to the discussion.
Guest Konstantin Kisin jumped to defend Rogan from any notion that he was being “difficult” or “a diva.”
He also said that he does not like having a conversation amidst an entourage, since this makes the conversation artificial rather than organic.
He explained his political affiliation, stating he is not strictly affiliated with any party. He said he used to follow Bernie Sanders and that he feels “politically homeless.”
He feels that political extremes, mostly set by liberals, promote censorship and are opposed to free speech, which is essential to any open discussion and growth in his opinion.
Reiterating his will to have the real conversation with Harris, he expressed desire to have them still make it happen under conditions he finds conducive to an open discussion.
After the collapse of plans for an interview by Harris, Rogan hosted Ohio Senator JD Vance; the appearance ran for nearly four hours, way more than what was proposed for Harris. What he attempted to do was have an open and frank discussion, which was not to be had, given the conditions of the campaign laid down by Harris.
