Joe Rogan explains the details about Harris missed ‘opportunity’ to appear on his podcast

Joe Rogan explains the details about Harris missed 'opportunity' to appear on his podcast




Joe Rogan revealed it was the Harris campaign that reached out to get their candidate on his show before declining his “open invitation” to come on at any time, even at midnight when she was in Texas last week. “The Joe Rogan Experience” host spoke with satirist and podcast host Konstantin Kisin, who brought up Rogan’s original plan to sit down with Harris. Rogan had said earlier this week it was scrapped because the campaign demanded the interview only be an hour and that he travel to meet her, instead of recording at his podcasting studio in Austin, Tex.”She had an opportunity to come,” Rogan said in the episode released Wednesday.He added of not agreeing to the campaign’s conditions, “You could look at this and you can say, ‘Oh, you’re being a diva,’ but she had an opportunity to come here when she was in Texas, and I literally gave them an open invitation. I said anytime. I said if she’s done at 10, we’ll come back here at 10. I go, I’ll do it at nine in the morning, I’ll do it at 10 p.m. I’ll do it at midnight if she’s up, if she wants to, you know, drink a Red Bull.”JOE ROGAN TELLS TRUMP THE ‘WILD S—‘ HE SAYS FUELED HIS POPULARITY DURING THREE HOUR PODCAST INTERVIEWKisin called out accusations that Rogan was a “diva” if he was willing to give her an opportunity to speak. “She actually reached out when she found out that [Trump] was coming on. So their camp reached out to me. So I said, ‘Great, I would love to talk to her.’ But it was very difficult to tie it down. They wanted to travel and see the thing is…if I go somewhere then there’s going to be other people in the room. And they want to control a lot of things, I’m sure,” Rogan said, referencing staff trying to interfere with the interview.He continued, “My whole goal with her and with him is just talk. Just sit and have a conversation like a human being. You find out things about people. You get a sense of them, at least, a real sense. That was it. I don’t give a f— what we talk about. I really don’t. I just want to talk to you. Who the f— are you?”Kisin asked if perhaps the Harris campaign were “wary” of him and believed he was on Trump’s side.”I don’t know, I mean…just because of my appearance there’s always been this assumption that I’m some right-wing MAGA guy. I was a Bernie supporter you know,” Rogan said. “I’m a politically homeless person for sure. You know, I always considered myself a left-wing person. I never thought I would ever vote right-wing, but then the tides of culture shifted in a very bizarre way. And it just made me over time much more aware of what this stuff is really all about.”He then denounced extremists on both sides of the political aisle but specifically attacked liberals for no longer appearing to defend free speech.”The only solution to bad speech is better speech. We’ve always known that. But they had the power over social media and these collective groups of people that all had the same ideology. And then that tribal mentality kicks in and you lose the perspective that you should have as an educated person that recognizes that everyone has to be able to talk and we have to figure out who’s right. And you might be wrong. You might be wrong, and you might be clinging to this idea that you’re right and you’re going to do the whole thing a terrible disservice,” Rogan said.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURERogan first explained why the interview was scrapped in an X post Monday, writing, “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. I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin,” he added. “My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being. I really hope we can make it happen.”Shortly after the post, it was announced that Ohio Sen. JD Vance would appear on the podcast.The vice presidential candidate sat down with Rogan in his Austin studio Wednesday morning to record an interview. Vance told rally attendees in Pennsylvania later that day, it went “almost 4 hours, so I’ve officially done more interview time than Kamala Harris has the entire campaign, just today.”CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

Trump hits Wisconsin in garbage truck ‘in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden’

Trump hits Wisconsin in garbage truck 'in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden'




Former President Trump rolled up to the battleground state of Wisconsin in a garbage truck on Wednesday, an apparent reference to President Biden’s remarks about supporters of the Republican nominee, which has caused a firestorm for Vice President Kamala Harris in the final days of a hotly contested election. Trump was pictured in Green Bay inside a white garbage truck wearing an orange reflective vest with “Trump Make America Great Again 2024” emblazoned on the vehicle. “How do you like my garbage truck?” Trump asked reporters. “This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.”TOP PUERTO RICAN OFFICIAL ENDORSES FORMER PRESIDENT AFTER COMIC’S RALLY SET RUFFLES FEATHERSThe stunt is an apparent dig at Biden, who has come under fire for calling Trump supporters garbage. During a virtual Harris campaign call with Voto Latino, Biden took a swipe at former Trump’s weekend rally in Madison Square Garden, which made headlines after insult comedian Tony Hinchiffe made jokes mocking different ethnic groups, with one joke referring to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.””The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it is un-American.”The comment quickly went viral and sparked swift condemnation from critics. BIDEN CALLS TRUMP SUPPORTERS ‘GARBAGE’ DURING HARRIS CAMPAIGN EVENT AS VP PROMISES UNITY AT ELLIPSE RALLYBiden’s remarks were quickly compared to Hillary Clinton, who declared that Trump supporters were “deplorables” during the 2016 presidential race. Trump himself reacted to the “terrible” comment from Biden while speaking at a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania. SLOTKIN SLAMS FELLOW DEM BIDEN FOR ‘GARBAGE’ GAFFE AMID HEATED SENATE BATTLE”Remember Hillary? She said ‘deplorable’ and then said ‘irredeemable,’ right? But she said ‘deplorable.’ That didn’t work out. ‘Garbage’ I think is worse,” Trump said to his supporters at a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania on Tuesday night. “But he doesn’t know- you have to please forgive him. Please forgive him. For he not knoweth what he said.”  “And I’m convinced he likes me more than he likes Kamala,” Trump quipped.On Wednesday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden doesn’t view Trump supporters as “garbage.””He has said multiple times that he is a president for all. It doesn’t matter if in a red state. It doesn’t matter if you live in a blue state,” she said. Vivek Ramaswamy was also seen riding on the back of a garbage truck in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Wednesday. Ramaswamy, who threw his support to Trfump after dropping out of the presidential race, wore a yellow reflective vest while greeting supporters.

Brett Favre rips Joe Biden for ‘garbage’ comments, says ‘it would be insane’ to vote Kamala Harris

Brett Favre rips Joe Biden for 'garbage' comments, says 'it would be insane' to vote Kamala Harris




Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre spoke at Donald Trump’s rally in Green Bay, where he made his legacy as the Packers quarterback.The 11-time Pro Bowler said he had “never” spoken at “an event like this before,” but with the election just six days away, “I decided it’s time.””There’s never been a more important time in our lives than right now in this election,” Favre began his speech.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM”The stakes are incredibly high. Families across Wisconsin are struggling to make ends meet. People’s salaries haven’t kept up with inflation. It’s getting harder for younger people to buy their first home. People are losing hope in the American dream.”Favre said that it wasn’t just “about money,” citing 50 fetanyl overdoses in Brown County, Wisconsin, last year. He also said that the younger generation “face[s] the prospect of World War III.”We’ve already had President Trump once — we’ve already seen Kamala in action. We can compare, and we know which is better,” Favre continued. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results… It would be insane to give Kamala four more years in office. So it’s time to bench Kamala and put in the star quarterback.”CALIFORNIA DEMOCRAT WANTS NICK BOSA TRADED ‘TO MAR-A-LAGO’ AFTER MAGA HAT CONTROVERSY”USA is a great country. But we all know this: Kamala broke it. Trump will fix it,” Favre added. “I have lived the American dream, but I want to make sure that future generations get to, as well. So remember this: Let’s make American great again.”Favre also said that Trump, “much like the Packer organization… is a winner.”Favre also took a shot at President Biden, who appeared to call Trump’s supporters “garbage.””I can assure you we’re not garbage. How dare he say that? I see police officers, teachers, nurses, grandparents, students. I see everyday Americans that make this country great,” Favre said.Biden denied calling Trump’s supporters “garbage.” When asked about Tony Hinchcliffe calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” Biden replied, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”Favre has long supported Trump, saying last year that the country was in a “better place” when he was president. He endorsed Trump in 2020 because of his stance on freedom of speech, gun rights and support for the military and police after a summer of racial unrest after the death of George Floyd.Fox News’ Ryan Gaydos contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Biden’s ‘garbage’ comment sends Dem Senate candidates scrambling in key swing states: ‘strongly disagrees’

Biden's 'garbage' comment sends Dem Senate candidates scrambling in key swing states: 'strongly disagrees'




President Biden sparked a political firestorm Tuesday after calling supporters of former President Trump “garbage,” which could spell trouble for the several Democratic Senate candidates running in key swing states where Trump is popular.Fox News Digital reached out to six Democratic Senate candidates — Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Montana Sen. Jon Tester, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen, Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey and Arizona Senate candidate Ruben Gallego — for comment on Biden’s remarks.”Tammy Baldwin does not agree with President Biden,” Andrew Mamo, Tammy Baldwin’s campaign spokesman, told Fox News Digital.”Tammy is fighting for all Wisconsinites no matter who they are or who they vote for.”JD VANCE CALLS OUT HARRIS DONOR WHO DOUBLED DOWN ON BIDEN’S ‘GARBAGE’ COMMENTA Rosen spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “Sen. Rosen strongly disagrees with disparaging anyone based on who they vote for. As one of the most bipartisan and independent senators, she works hard to find common ground across party lines and represent all Nevadans.””Jon Tester doesn’t agree with those comments and is proud to have the support of Montanans of all political stripes, including those who are voting for Donald Trump,” said Monica Robinson, spokesperson for Montanans for Tester.FROM BIDEN’S ‘GARBAGE’ TO TRUMP’S ‘LOSERS.’ MAKING SENSE OF POLITICAL INSULTS IN 2024″Sherrod doesn’t agree with that and fights for all Ohioans, regardless of who they vote for,” Brown campaign spokesperson Matt Keyes told Fox News Digital.”I am running to represent all Arizonans, regardless of who they vote for,” Gallego told Fox News Digital in a statement.”Sen. Casey respects all Pennsylvanians regardless of how they vote,” Casey campaign spokesperson Maddy McDaniel told Fox News Digital.Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin, running for Senate in the swing state of Michigan, spoke in opposition of Biden’s comment too. FORMER JILL BIDEN STAFFER TORCHES WHITE HOUSE’S ‘BONEHEAD’ ATTEMPT TO TRANSCRIBE BIDEN’S ‘GARBAGE’ COMMENT”He shouldn’t have said it. It’s inappropriate,” Slotkin said during an appearance on local radio Wednesday morning. “For me, I just think that kind of talk is the last thing we need in our politics.”While all the Democrats Fox News Digital reached out to condemned Biden’s “garbage” comment, some have disparaged Trump supporters, including Gallego and Brown. Gallego previously called Trump supporters “dumb” and the “worst people in the world.” Brown accused Trump’s supporters of “racism” and said it “works for them.”During a virtual Kamla Harris campaign call with Voto Latino, Biden took a swipe at former President Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, which made headlines after insult comedian Tony Hinchiffe made jokes mocking different ethnic groups. In one joke, he referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.””The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said. “[Trump’s] demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it is un-American.”His remarks were quickly likened to Hillary Clinton’s labeling of half of Trump supporters as belonging in “a basket of deplorables” in 2016, a comment that was widely seen as undermining her campaign.The White House attempted to clean up Biden’s remark.White House spokesperson Andrew Bates told Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich President Biden “referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage.’””The president was referencing a joke by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe in which he likened Puerto Rico to an island of floating ‘garbage’ in the middle of the ocean,” he said.”So just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage, which is why he put this out and is why he wanted to make sure that we put out a statement that clarified what he meant and what he was trying to say. And, so, just want to make that very clear for folks who are watching,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday.VP Kamala Harris distanced herself from Biden’s remarks Tuesday.”I think that, first of all, he clarified his comments, but let me be clear. I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for,” Harris said.Fox News Digital’s Sarah Rumpf-Whitten contributed to this report
