Joe Rogan recently broke the internet media with his latest podcast with Donald Trump, which garnered over 37 million views. After the historic podcast, there was news about the current U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris appearing on the Joe Rogan Experience. However, there seems to be some change in plans, and JD Vance is ready to step in.
Yesterday, Joe Rogan took to X and shared that Kamala Harris’ team wanted him to travel in order to do the podcast episode. However, the UFC commentator was keen on doing it in his studio in Austin, Texas. On top of that, Harris wasn’t ready to do the interview for more than one hour, which ruined Rogan’s interest.
Now, it seems like the negotiations have fallen apart, and the presidential candidate won’t join Joe Rogan on his podcast. On the other hand, Republican VP candidate JD Vance has reportedly agreed to do the podcast episode, which has kept the audience excited. Vance will go to Austin, Texas, for his maiden JRE appearance.

Before Kamala Harris’s podcast, Rogan expressed that he didn’t want to focus on politics, preferring to have a normal conversation. He intended to approach it similarly to how he did with Donald Trump, engaging in lighter discussions. Many experts believe that Harris missed a valuable opportunity to tap into Rogan’s massive audience, losing the chance to connect.
Joe Rogan has always been a strong advocate for free speech, often defending open dialogue, even on controversial topics. He has hosted guests from diverse viewpoints, emphasizing the importance of hearing all perspectives. Rogan believes that censoring ideas can prevent productive conversations and solutions from emerging.
Kamala Harris, on the other hand, advocates for regulation of social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to combat the alleged misinformation. She wanted accountability, particularly in the context of elections and public health. However, Joe Rogan believes that would contradict the rights of U.S. citizens.
There’s no way to misconstrue that. Oversight and regulation for free speech is ridiculous. She was saying they she wants government oversight and regulation of social media. That’s crazy. We don’t have rules. We have First Amendment rights of free speech.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Rogan faced backlash for promoting alternative treatments and expressing skepticism about vaccines. He was criticized and accused of spreading misinformation, fueling debates over canceled culture and free speech. Despite the backlash, the UFC commentator defended his views, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue and questioning mainstream narratives.
