The beloved UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan, came under severe scrutiny after he released episode #2219 of the JRE. Well, that was the episode that featured Donald Trump while he was still rallying to become the President of the USA for a second time. While some netizens loved the conversation between Trump and Rogan, others denounced it due to its political nature and the ramifications that stemmed from it. Nevertheless, it seems like Kamala Harris was seemingly upset about it. And soon, her team began claiming that Rogan’s show misled the public during the 2024 presidential elections. But it was time for the JRE host to come clean now.

Rogan, in episode #2267 of the JRE, revealed the reality of the talks between him and Harris’ team. With talks about the new book claiming Dana White and Elon Musk convinced Rogan to pull the plug on the interview with Harris going viral, the UFC commentator had to reveal the truth. He told his guest, Dan Richards, that Harris never really committed to an appearance on the JRE. He said, “They never committed to doing the show. There was another thing, they said they wanted to do the Beyonce thing, the Beyonce event in Houston, was so they could be in Texas to do my show. They never agreed to do the show. None of that’s true. They also said, they sent someone down here to the studio to do a walkthrough of the set. That’s not true.” 

But the Trump administration walked through the studio. And that was because Trump had a date fixed for the JRE interview. Rogan admitted that he was pretty easy to book. But he couldn’t say the same for Harris.

He claimed, “These people didn’t have a date. They never agreed to do the show.” However, Harris’ team made an offer to Rogan to visit Washington DC for the show. They had a condition, though. Harris could only do 45-60 minutes. Yet, that was okay with the revered comedian. 

He continued, “I said, ‘Look, he did it here. We should probably do it here. Like if it’s possible to it here.’ Obviously, when he did it, it had an enormous result. I’m willing to do the same thing for her. I wanted to release both of them on the same day. This was my goal. I even offered to do it late that night. So the night that Trump came on, I’m like, ‘What if we do her when she’s done in Texas?’ But no one ever committed to doing it.” 

Joe Rogan addressed that he never lied about anything. He still had the records and receipts that proved his point. The JRE host claimed, “They never said she was gonna do it. So this whole idea that we f—ed her over and then we f—ed her over for Trump… Incorrect! Just not true!” But Dana White had a reason to justify why Harris never appeared on the JRE.

Dana White weighs in on why Kamala Harris never featured on the Joe Rogan Experience

Of course, White wasn’t a big supporter of Kamala Harris. He stood behind his friend, Donald Trump, throughout the course of the presidential elections. In fact the UFC head honcho took a shot at Harris. During a conversation with Russel Brand on his YouTube show, the UFC CEO said, “The reason that Kamala won’t do his show is because Kamala Harris cannot speak without a teleprompter and that’s a bad environment for her.”

This was indeed a serious accusation. The UFC CEO claimed that every time Harris appeared in front of a camera, she had to stick to her pre-planned talking points to make her point. And as the rumors about Rogan jeopardizing her campaign went viral, White came in his defense and said, “But I actually think she’s crazy not to because Joe Rogan isn’t one of those guys that’s going to come out and attack her and try to make her look bad. She can do that on her own.”

But as far as Harris’ campaign in Houston was concerned, it was planned to open up her schedule for an appearance on the JRE. The team believed that Harris’ time would find better value in a swing state. Nevertheless, it was the timing that emerged the issue. But now, as the dust settles, Rogan’s words have reflected on what seems to be the truth. After all, the JRE host was never biased toward either candidate and wanted to give them an equal footing.
