Joe Rogan’s podcast has become a significant platform for political discourse, especially during election seasons. His recent interview with Donald Trump made waves across media channels. However, another story emerged when Vice President Kamala Harris declined to appear on the show. While initial reports suggested scheduling conflicts, former UFC fighter and comedian Brendan Schaub shared a different perspective.
Schaub regularly appears on his podcast, “The Fighter and the Kid,” revealed that Harris’s decision stemmed from deeper concerns. During a recent episode, he explained that the Vice President’s reluctance wasn’t about logistics but the format itself.
“It’s her insecurity; it’s not Rogan. He’s like, ‘Yeah, if she wants to come on, the offer is there.’ They won’t do it.”
He says Joe Rogan maintains an open invitation for Harris, but her team seems hesitant. The JRE draws millions of listeners and has become known for its lengthy, unfiltered conversations. As Schaub pointed out, this format seems to be exactly what makes Harris’s team nervous.
Joe Rogan’s style differs significantly from traditional media appearances. He doesn’t stick to scripted questions or time limits. Instead, he lets conversations flow naturally for up to three hours. This brings out the human element of the guests and not the professional persona.

The story took an interesting turn when Harris’s team reached out after learning about Donald Trump’s upcoming appearance on the show. Rogan offered multiple time slots to make it work. But things got complicated when Harris’s team insisted on changing the usual format.
“If I go somewhere, then there’s going to be other people in the room and they’d want to control a lot of things, I’m sure…That’s a distraction. People in the room. Like, my whole goal with her and with him is just talk. Just have a conversation like a human being.”
These requirements were deal-breakers for someone who prides himself on having real conversations rather than scripted interviews. Joe Rogan believes the magic of his show lies in its simplicity: just two people talking without the typical media circus surrounding political interviews.
