Remember when he had his favorite left wing candidates on his show? Yeah me neither. He even balked at Kamala making herself available.

He's had Bernie on several times. He even endorsed Bernie in 2016 over Hillary.

But Joe appears to be completely unaware that his politics completely changed during the pandemic. He used to say that it was unconscionable for employers to not give employees paid time off, and now he says that employees who take time off for any reason other than being gravely ill are just lazy. He's absolutely nowhere close to left-wing these days, even if you ignore his support for Trump.

This is the asshole who moved to Texas, a right to work state, from California. He is just a greedy roasted turkey who benefited from Californian policies and the entertainment industry then wanted to kick the ladder down after he climbed it so he could take advantage of Texas laws that ice out workers rights and avoid paying his fare share in taxes.

Yes, Joe Rogan actively attempted to interview Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential campaign, but the discussions collapsed due to conflicting terms regarding the interview's location and duration.

Rogan stated that Harris's campaign offered a date for a one-hour interview, but he refused to travel to her, insisting instead on recording at his Austin studio for the show's standard three-hour format.

  • Rogan claimed the campaign also placed restrictions on topics she would discuss, such as marijuana legalization.
  • Harris’s campaign ultimately declined, citing that the arrangement did not align with their schedule and expressing concerns about potential backlash from progressive voters.
  • Rogan later released a three-hour interview with Donald Trump, which garnered over 37 million views on YouTube.
