An excerpt from a new book about the 2024 presidential election sheds new light on how the proposed interview of former President Kamala Harris with Podcast Joe Rogan was shared.
“Fight: Within the most outrageous battle for the White House,” by the authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, provided a game of negotiations between Rogan and Harris camps to ensure Harris’s appearance in Podcast. The dialogue proved to be fruitless and dedicated to the campaign of the former Deputy President, especially after the then candidate Donald Trump provided a Rogan interview that went viral.
“Trump spent three hours with Rogan in an interview that immediately went viral. The contrast reached a ‘traumatic event’, said one Harris helper, ‘I will never forget,'” Allen wrote.
Rogan confirmed at the end of October-shortly after publishing his landing with Trump he had been in negotiation with the Harris team for an interview, noting that the talks had come to stay because of Harris’s demands. At the time, he said he was still open to an interview in the future, and reported that the Harris camp had not canceled.
After winning Trump’s election, Harris’s team suggested that the president’s interview was the factor that killed the negotiations.
“We were hoping to adapt it to this, but ultimately we were unable to do it,” Harris high -ranking councilor Stephanie Cutter said at Pod Save America. “As it turns out, this was the day Trump was typing his Joe Rogan [appearance]which they had never confirmed to us. We just understood it in its superiority. “
Rogan continued to approve the then Trump candidate on the eve of the election.
The section from “Fight” sheds more light on what happened, claiming that the initial negotiations held between the Harris Campaign Manager Rob Flahety and Rogan’s reps were Rocky. According to the book, Rogan sent them his list of interview conditions on October 11, which included “no studio staff, no theme restrictions, and Harris would have to sign a waiver.”
Moreover, “Harris would have to come to Austin, Texas”, according to the Rogan team, though they signaled that there was an easy way to this situation.
Harris campaign replied, saying “Harris would be happy to talk about social media censoring, weeds and other issues they thought would be of interest to his listeners.” However, Rogan disagreed.
As the book said, “Joe just wants to talk about the economy, the border and the abortion.”
Then the dispute of where Harris Rogan would meet. Flahery proposed an interview in Michigan, where the then President would be in the footsteps of the campaign. “No, said Rogan’s team after reaching the host on a weekly hunt. Austin or nothing,” wrote Parnes and Allen.
According to their book, “Harris had less than zero reason to be in Texas”, as “she was in battle-or-bust fashion.”
“Plus, an aberration in Texas can smell like despair in the press and a loss of money for donors,” the authors also noted.
Apparently, Campaign Chief Jennifer O’Malley Dillon found a solution, telling Rogan’s team that Harris would travel “to Houston for a rally – under the cover of a state’s visit with one of the most restrictive laws of abortion of the country – to put it near Austin ”where she could go to the show.
Harris flew to the state under the care of fighting for reproductive rights, though Allen and Parnes wrote, “Only a few people knew the real reason: the entire Houston rally was built to put it near Rogan.”
Despite Harris making the concession, Rogan’s team had more demands that seemed to condemn the meeting. When Flahets mentioned Harris to go to Rogan’s studio on October 25, they were avoided again.
“I wish we had known this sooner because he blocked 25 as a personal day,” Rogan team said.
When Flahets opposed Saturday morning, the people of Podcast’s host replied, “Only if it is before 8:30 am,” the passage seemed to suggest that message all, but killed talks between the two camps. The book claimed that shortly thereafter, Harris Camp revealed that Rogan spoke with Trump on his “personal day”.
The work mentioned that Harris’s aides “made a last knife, offering to let Rogan talk to Vice President in Washington, DC” However, “Rogan’s team was blocked, mentioning Austin’s only state.” Allen and Parnes quoted Flahety telling Rogan’s people, “You take a trip to Texas within three weeks of choices. You don’t get two.”
Reps for the Harris campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
