Last week Joe Rogan offered a three-hour podcast interview to both former President Donald Trump and Vice-President Kamala Harris. Trump accepted. Harris declined.
Harris aide Ian Sams explained "the conditions just weren't right. First of all, three hours is way too long for someone as busy campaigning as she is. The thirty-minute sit down with Bret Baier put a big dent in her schedule. Our request that the Rogan interview be held to three minutes wasn't acceptable to him."
"Second, he wouldn't accept the list of the questions we wanted him to ask nor allow us to use a teleprompter to assist our candidate," Sams complained. "It's not a fair test of the qualities needed in a president. President Biden always knew what questions he would be asked and had a teleprompter to use. To deny the potentially first female to be elected president an equivalent accommodation is misogynistic."
"Third, each of Rogan's individual podcasts typically has a 15 million member audience," Sams observed. "Frankly, the Vice-President prefers a smaller, more intimate venue where she can be her uninhibited natural self. So we decided to pass on the invitation. We'll just sit back and watch Trump make a fool of himself like he always does."
A spokesman for Joe Rogan said "we could've lived with the three minute demand and used it as a lead-in to the three-hour Trump interview, but the other stuff was a deal killer. Our show is definitely non-scripted and explicitly one-on-one. It's a formula that made us the number one podcast with three billion listeners world wide. If a person can't handle this formula they have no business asking voters to trust them to handle the presidency."
