Popular podcast host Joe Rogan said that he is still trying to get an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, but he will not agree to the terms that her team has offered.
It’s also important to note that the Harris team has not said no to doing the podcast. They asked if we could go out on Tuesday, but I would have to drive to her house, and they only wanted to do an hour.
“I really believe that the best place to do it is in the studio in Austin,” Rogan wrote on X, which used to be Twitter. “All I really want is to have a nice chat with her and get to know her as a person.” He said, “I really hope we can make it happen.”
Trump, who used to be president, did a three-hour interview for The Joe Rogan Experience on Friday at Rogan’s office in Austin. They are now talking about this. Fans couldn’t wait for the chat, which, at the time of this writing, had 36 million views on YouTube.

During one segment of the interview, Trump told the host that on his first day in the White House, he asked to see the Lincoln bedroom and noticed that there was a “sadness” about it.
“I said to the guys, ‘I want to see the Lincoln Bedroom,’ I had never seen the Lincoln bedroom,” he said.
“And I was standing with my wife and I said, ‘Do you believe it? This is the Lincoln bedroom.’ I mean, it was cool– it was amazing,” the former president said.
“That room was so beautiful to me, much more beautiful than it actually is,” he said before speaking about Lincoln’s son Tad, who died four years after his dad was assassinated and whose picture is in the bedroom.
“He lost his son, and they suffered — the two of them — suffered from melancholia,” he said about the Civil War-era president and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln. “They didn’t call it depression. They called it ‘melancholia.’”
“He was a very depressed guy, and she was a very depressed woman — more so than him, and on top of that, they lost their son, whose name was Tad,” Trump added.
“Just seeing it … a little tiny picture of Tad, who he lost, and it was devastating,” he said.
Tad’s death was reported as either caused by tuberculosis, pneumonia or congestive heart failure at the young age of 18.
The Lincolns had previously lost two other sons, Edward and William.
Their eldest son, Robert Todd Lincoln, lived until the age of 82 and served as United States Secretary of War under Presidents James Garfield and Chester Arthur. He also served as the United States Minister to the United Kingdom.
During the nearly three-hour podcast, Rogan also revealed why he decided to have the former president on his show, noting that he changed his mind after Trump was nearly killed during the first assassination attempt in Butler, Pa., on July 13.
Rogan said “No. Once they shot you I was like, ‘He’s gotta come in here.’”
Trump gave Rogan a glimpse of the scar he received from Crooks’ bullet. “It zicked right there,” Trump said of the mark behind his right ear.
Rogan responded, “It healed up pretty f–king good.”
“It’s not like some of the wrestlers, some of the UFC fighters… it was sort of like a top shot. The thing’s taken off a little bit,” Trump continued. “But it makes me a tougher guy.”
