Podcast host Joe Rogan revealed that one of the requirements for an interview that never happened with Vice President Kamala Harris was that there be no discussion about “marijuana legalization.”
The host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” has related conditions set forth by Harris’s campaign team as they attempted to set up an interview ahead of the election, but the sit-down never materialized. On Tuesday’s episode of his show, Rogan discussed the election and Harris with comedian Adrienne Iapalucci.

“It doesn’t matter what color you are, America does not want a woman in charge,” Iapalucci said as they talked about failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
“Well, that’s not exactly true because she won the popular vote,” Rogan noted.
“Not Kamala though,” his guest pointed out.
“No, but Kamala was a terrible candidate. The difference between her and Hillary is night and day,” Rogan said, going on to contrast how Clinton would not have sabotaged herself like Harris when she appeared on “The View” and couldn’t come up with anything to differentiate herself from President Joe Biden.
“I don’t know if she’s good at running things because you’d have to be behind the scenes to see how that works, but when it comes to talking off the top of her head, what she’s good at is a pre-rehearsed speech that she reads off a teleprompter. Pretty solid,” he said.
Rogan described the “chaotic” conversations he had with the Democrat nominee’s team as they tried to set up an interview.
“They had I don’t know how many conversations with my folks, but multiple conversations giving different dates, different times, different this, different that, and we knew that she was going to be in Texas, so I said, ‘open invitation,’” Rogan recounted.
“They had requirements on things she didn’t want to talk about. She didn’t want to talk about marijuana legalization, which I thought was hilarious,” he added, telling Iapalucci when she asked “why” that it was “because of her prosecuting record.”
An advocate for legalized marijuana, Rogan added that as a prosecutor in California, Harris “put a lot of people in jail for weed, 1,500 apparently, allegedly.”
Harris vowed to decriminalize marijuana and push for police reform during an interview with Charlamagne tha God in October.
Some have faulted Harris for missing an opportunity to do Rogan’s show as her campaign insisted that she didn’t refuse but was unable to travel to his studio. Rogan’s three-hour talk-fest with former President Donald Trump earned nearly 50 million views on YouTube.
Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Democrats for not reaching millions of voters through podcasts like Rogan’s.
“Look, you’re going to have an argument with Rogan, agree with him, disagree with him. But, what’s the problem with going on those shows? It’s hard for me to understand that,” Sanders told Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
