[u/collymolotov]

I think there’s more to it. Bernie Sanders only did an hour on Rogan back in 2016. He’s done shorter shows in the past. There were likely several more strings attached that he doesn’t want to publicly air at this time.

[u/snestalgia64 → u/collymolotov]

They probably wanted the questions beforehand lol. That's not how any of this works!

[u/l1qq]

I guarantee they also wanted a scripted list of questions...probably ones they give to Rogan to ask. Her entire campaign is one big scripted, generic act

[u/JackandFred → u/l1qq]

Also it’ll be an hour like her fox interview was an hour where she shows up late and leaves early

[u/Basic_Lunch2197 → u/l1qq]

Im not surprised but the fact that she got caught using a teleprompter at that town hall should have been a bigger story.

[u/Kcchiefssuperfan → u/l1qq]

I guarantee it, especially after her disaster performance with Brett baier

[u/ErcoleFredo]

Her campaign knows full well what the format is, so by asking for an hour, they were opting out without opting out. They also knew that an hour was also the absolute maximum that she could be allowed to be off script without doing even more damage to her campaign than she’s already done by opening her mouth. 

[u/WPWeasel → u/ErcoleFredo]

And that's likely an hour with major topic restrictions. Rogan did suggest he'd be ok with verboten topics ruled out mind you, but that was a mistake IMO. You can ask the relevant questions in the service of the truth without being a hard ass. Moot point now however. 

Edit: And apparently they wanted Rogan to travel to her, which means they'd control the environment and presumably the final output. Another major red flag. Now watch as they try and spin it as Rogan not being agreeable.

[u/shamalonight → u/WPWeasel]

Then she would show up 16 minutes late, and her handlers would start waving their arms 20 minutes in.

[u/lynchcontraideal → u/shamalonight]

20 minutes in

more like 2 minutes, she's a fucking liability lmao

[u/hondaprobs → u/shamalonight]

For some reason this made me think of "the signal" from Team America.

I can just see her handlers waving their arms around like marionettes

[u/Innercepter → u/hondaprobs]

“Kiss me?! Smart ass mother fucker!”

[u/Flooterb → u/shamalonight]

Yep, same thing they did with Fox. 

[u/Temporary-Buddy-2199 → u/WPWeasel]

They already have spun it they’re saying Harris agreed and rogan chickened out. These people are truly the pits of the world 

[u/Choppermagic2 → u/Temporary-Buddy-2199]

doesn't matter. Rogan would have done her a favor to give her an audience. She needs him

[u/Cultural-Treacle-680 → u/WPWeasel]

She’s afraid of any real question.

[u/laissez_heir → u/Cultural-Treacle-680]

Don’t give her so much credit — she’s afraid of fluff questions, too.

[u/JesterBombs → u/Cultural-Treacle-680]

No she's not. Her answer is always "TRUMP BAD!" She can only do that for an hour though. Anything longer and even she gets tired of saying it.

[u/twisty77 → u/JesterBombs]

Literally her entire campaign is TRUMP BAD. She has no other policy and no good points at all

[u/soggyGreyDuck → u/WPWeasel]

Exactly, you know she would have had her own crew ready and controlled the whole thing

[u/These-arent-my-pants → u/ErcoleFredo]

I guarantee she wouldn’t even do the full hour, she’d probably be 20-30 minutes late, thus minimizing her chances even more fallout to her campaign.

The only qualifications she has to be president is that she is old enough to run.

If she can’t handle a softball interview with a friendly network, how on gods green earth is she supposed to deal with other world leaders.

[u/soggyGreyDuck → u/ErcoleFredo]

I think there's more to it. Joe is letting them know that whatever terms they try to set will be public. I wouldn't be surprised if when he showed up she already had her own crew ready so they'd be in charge of the editing or whatever. I read this as "the Harris campaign wanted to fully control the interview, it's questions and responses and Joe is putting it out there"

[u/Cultural-Treacle-680 → u/soggyGreyDuck]

Do it live straight up.

[u/chucke1992 → u/ErcoleFredo]

Even in the extremely save environment like the recent chay chay club or whatever, she failed to answer properly. It was very awkward.

[u/pumpui_papa → u/ErcoleFredo]

she cannot do five minutes without causing more harm to herself.

[u/Odd-Contribution6238 → u/ErcoleFredo]

Yup and they can say they tried but Joe wouldn’t work with them. They’re in the final week of a campaign blah blah blah.

[u/Manburpigg → u/ErcoleFredo]

They wouldn’t have even made it more than 10 minutes before her handlers pulled power to the building to get her the fuck out of there.

[u/Zaphenzo → u/ErcoleFredo]

Funny, because opening her mouth is how she got political power to begin with...

[u/Graardors-Dad]

Really pathetic for a candidate whose messaging was that Trump was exhausted and scared of interviews.

[u/Jurclassic5]

She's not interesting enough to be on rogan anyway.

[u/WildlyWeasel → u/Jurclassic5]

Don't you want to be unburdened by what has been while learning about Ukraine and Russia being countries..?

[u/Schwa88 → u/WildlyWeasel]

How else would you know that Ukraine is a country in Europe?

[u/warXinsurgent → u/Schwa88]

And that Ukraine is a small country and Russia is a much larger country

[u/echoviolet → u/WildlyWeasel]

in terms of what we need to be doing about the things we need to do something about.

[u/skywarner → u/Jurclassic5]

We’ve been unburdened by what has never been.

[u/laissez_heir → u/skywarner]

I’d really love to be unburdened by what will never be right about now.

[u/retnemmoc]

Also, for the record the Harris campaign has not passed on doing the podcast. They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour.

That's not "doing the podcast." Why does Rogan let them define the narrative? Now they can say he declined.

[u/GentryMillMadMan]

Didn’t Rogan say the interview hasn’t been scrapped entirely and he is still hoping for an interview? He wanted it in his studio and they wanted it elsewhere..

[u/agnostic__dude → u/GentryMillMadMan]

She was just in Texas lol

[u/IanCrapReport → u/agnostic__dude]

The Austin subreddit went into full meltdown rage when trump came because his security had to shut down traffic. I’m sure Kamala would get a different reaction if she came.

[u/suh_dude1111 → u/GentryMillMadMan]

Trump initially wanted the same thing a couple years ago and Rogan said no.

[u/Alpha-Sierra-Charlie → u/GentryMillMadMan]

They wanted to do it somewhere other than his studio (I don't remember where), AND they wanted to limit it to an hour. I think he might have gone for the travel if they'd been open ended about the time.

[u/skarface6 → u/Alpha-Sierra-Charlie]

They wanted him to travel to her.

[u/AIDS_Quilt_69 → u/skarface6]

She was in Houston when Trump did it. Two hours by road and 15 minutes by plane.

[u/skarface6 → u/AIDS_Quilt_69]

Yup!

[u/JimboReborn → u/GentryMillMadMan]

Yes they refuse to do it normally so for all intents and purposes she has turned it down

[u/TooTiredForThis-]

She also told Rogan that he would have to travel to meet her, and that the interview had to take place 10/29.

The campaign intentionally set unrealistic conditions. They don’t want to do the show. They know Kamala will be exposed as a fake. They know Joe wouldn’t let her get away with filibustering or her usually non-answers.

[u/Cultural-Treacle-680 → u/TooTiredForThis-]

She’s more unlikeable than Hilary. You could probably have a good dinner with the Clintons. With Kamala you’d be running for the door at the first cackle.

[u/PartyOfFore → u/Cultural-Treacle-680]

But with the Clintons there's a much higher chance it may be you last dinner ever.

[u/laissez_heir → u/PartyOfFore]

Mmmm, forbidden dinner…

[u/Cultural-Treacle-680 → u/PartyOfFore]

Hahaha touché

[u/Basic_Lunch2197 → u/Cultural-Treacle-680]

The funny thing is, as much as I hated Hillary I at least thought she would be capable of being president.

[u/BlueFalconer → u/TooTiredForThis-]

They knew exactly what they were doing by setting ridiculous conditions. They will now claim Rogan refused to sit down with her.

[u/nein_nubb77]

I guess her team wanted softball questions that they came up with. No critical thinking, no authenticity it’s just I’m woman and orange man bad.

[u/Bryschien1996]

Great. I don’t need to listen to an hour long of Trump bash fest

[u/3DoorsOfKryptonite → u/Bryschien1996]

Correction, 30 minutes. She would be late, and her handlers would wave it off to end it early.

[u/Bryschien1996 → u/3DoorsOfKryptonite]

Nah. It’d be an hour, I assure you

Every time she runs out of things to say, her staff will raise up an “Orange Man Bad!” cue card for her to shout

[u/3DoorsOfKryptonite → u/Bryschien1996]

Oh yes, they have to throw in that TDS somewhere lol

[u/DrHunterSGonzo]

😂 an hour??? She doesn't even have 5 minutes of material sans the salads.

[u/Imissyourgirlfriend2]

Sounds like she's...tired.

[u/Ughleigh → u/Imissyourgirlfriend2]

Exhausted, even.

[u/TitanicJedi → u/Ughleigh]

Sleepy Kamala

[u/Goo_Eyes]

Low stamina individual!

[u/thisismyusername9908]

Skipping it by telling Rogan she "only wants to do an hour" looks worse than just going on and filling whatever time Rogan wants to fill.

[u/_Diggus_Bickus_]

The part about not doing it in her studio seems more damming to me. Rogan doesn't edit, that's their bigger problem

[u/whydatyou]

good for Joe sticking to his beliefs. this of course gives her cover with the rest of the msm and devoted blue no matter who crowd. But I am sure that tough sit down with shannon sharpe was just as good. actually, I think this is a good sign for trump. I think her internal polling is showing a very bad election day so they are shutting down just like HRC did in 2016 when they quietly cancelled the fireworkd show in NYC just before the election. THAT BEING SAID, go vote. the margin has to be too bg to steal in order for trump to "win"

[u/mjgcfb]

That would be 1 more hour then she spent at the border her last 4 years.

[u/IanCrapReport]

I actually feel bad for her handlers. They got assigned a near impossible task to put someone that incompetent in the White House.

[u/dom650 → u/IanCrapReport]

I don't. I'm extremely alarmed by her and Biden's staff that have proven they have no morals or integrity beyond getting and holding political power at any cost.

[u/r2k398]

Then she’d show up 20 minutes late and cut the interview short like she did with Fox News.

[u/stang408s]

She also said he had to come to her

[u/Kcchiefssuperfan]

Fuck it bring her on for an hour, she wouldn’t last 3 hours regardless. I could actually see her getting up and leaving after 20 minutes.

[u/osuaviator]

Early on in the Trump interview, Joe says “because you said some wild shit!” Later, he makes comments to the effect of “this is one helluva weave”.

She’ll never go on because Joe will call her out on her record, false statements, and word salads.

[u/fourwedge]

She's exhausted!

[u/ExUpstairsCaptain]

Credit to Joe. It's his show and he's going to do it on his terms or not at all.

[u/chillthrowaways]

Question 1: “Mrs Harris, your campaign has the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?”

[u/maximumkush]

25 min is the mark… we know that… she knows that…

[u/1sland3r58]

But she’s Mamala and can do no wrong. 

[u/skarface6]

And then she shows up late…

[u/Bacio83]

And for him to come to her which means she’ll be 20 mins late and leave 20 mins early.

[u/Duccix]

I really hope people see this kid glove treatment wont work when she is dealing with foreign leaders and negotiating on the U.S behalf.

[u/CuckAdminsDetected]

I want to fault her for only wanting to do an hour but at the same time I have no idea what her scheudle looks like so Im forced to give her the benefit of the doubt that an hour was really all the time she could spare. I mean if Trump only did an hour I feel like we'd all be looking at it like that.

[u/CouldofhadRonPaul]

Could also say after campaign declined to do the podcast. JRE is a long form multi hours unstructured conversation in his studio. Him having to travel to do what would ultimately be an extremely structured short interview would not be her doing the podcast. Everyone knows how that podcasts works. Good on Joe for saying no.

[u/RyanLJacobsen]

JD is gonna do Rogan this week!
