Spotify podcaster Joe Rogan predicted that Vice President Kamala Harris might win the election, which he attributed to a “bulls—” anti-Trump sentiment amongst Americans.
In the latest episode of “The Joe Rogan Podcast” the titular host told Michael Malice that Harris, would likely win because of the strong opposition liberals have against former President Donald Trump.
“She’s gonna win,” Rogan predicted on Tuesday, suggesting that the liberal media has spurred Americans to vote against Trump at any cost.
“I feel like we are in this very bizarre time where people are giving into the bulls— in a way that I never suspected people would before,” he remarked.
NEW: Joe Rogan suggests Kamala Harris will win the 2024 election, says "people are giving into the bullsh*t."
Rogan pointed to the media's PR work for Harris and argued that their strategy is working.
"She’s gonna win," Rogan said to Michael Malice who disagreed.

“They just want no Trump, no matter what, and they’re willing to gaslight themselves—and by the way, I think Hillary could win.”
Malice noted that both Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, if she was in contention, could potentially win the election but doubted Harris’s chances based on her poor performance during the 2020 presidential primary campaign.
“How bad do you have to be that you can’t even make Iowa?” he questioned.
In another part of the conversation, Rogan reflected on how he initially thought that an assassination attempt on Trump would have boosted his campaign but admitted that the fast-paced news cycle quickly overshadowed it.
“I would have thought that Trump getting shot would like—that’s it, election’s over. But it’s like, they memory-holed that so quick,” Rogan commented.
Malice echoed Rogan’s thoughts, adding, “You would have thought Trump getting shot would have had four, eight years of corporate journalists talking about hate speech causing violence, to be like, ‘Let’s take a step back,’ and that went for, what, a week?”
Malice questioned if Rogan really believed that Harris would win the election, and the comedian waffled a bit before ultimately conceding it was likely.
“I’m saying it because she could. I’m not saying it because I think she’s going to, and I’m not saying it because I want her to. I’m just being honest. Like, I could see her winning,” Rogan clarified.
Malice argued that Harris would lose a significant portion of the Black male vote, suggesting that they would not support her as they did Biden, “who was Obama’s boy.”
Rogan also criticized the liberal media’s sudden shift in support for Harris after President Joe Biden pulled out of the race and subsequently endorsed her.
“Everybody forever was like Kamala Harris is the worst Vice President,” Rogan pointed out. “She’s the least popular vice president of all time and then in a moment, a moment in time, all of a sudden, she’s our solution.”
“She’s our hero,” he mocked. “Everybody’s with her. All these social media posts about her, try Googling a negative story on her, you won’t find one. Ta-da!”
Rogan continued to express his disbelief at the media’s sudden support for Harris, calling it a “wild” transformation.
They discussed why Democrats lined up behind Harris when Tulsi Gabbard, who had significantly outperformed Harris in the Democratic primary, was also an option.
“Well, it just shows you that what they’re looking for is not what they say they’re looking for,” Rogan noted.
“Because she [Gabbard] is a strong woman. She is a person who served overseas twice in a medical unit. So she got to see people blown up by the war. She was a congresswoman for eight years.”
“She is a person of color,” he continued. “She’s everything you want, all those things you want, and yet you don’t want her…”
“Because [Gabbard’s] not for war,” Malice interjected, to which Rogan acknowledged, “she’s also just not willing to play ball.”
“There’s a game that’s being played, and if you’re like, ‘hey, you’re not supposed to f***ing move the ball.’ Like, oh, look at this b*tch over here. Like, get out of here. You’re gonna f up our game. It’s not real democracy. It’s controlled parties,” he concluded.

On his last episode, Rogan questioned if Biden’s call to Harris during her first speech after he dropped out of the election was generated by artificial intelligence.
“Here’s the thing about the AI voice thing, so play this,” Rogan prompted his producer to play a clip of someone purportedly testing Biden’s phone call audio.
In the video, the individual uploaded the phone call recording into ElevenLabs, which creates human-sounding speech with AI.
The test said that it was, “Very likely. Probability 98%. It’s very likely that this audio was generated with ElevenLabs.”
Later in the episode, Rogan’s producer posited that the video might have been revealing a program malfunction.
“He might have been exposing a glitch where every few times that app says that anything was created by [AI],” he explained.
Rogan disproved the theory when he suggested they should test it themselves, and the producer uploaded an old podcast episode to see the outcome.
Kamala Slips Up – Biden Call Fake?
Listen as Kamala Harris speaks to the alleged voice of President Joe Biden on the other end of a phone call, then immediately makes a flub:

“Look, they ran the sample, ‘Very unlikely,’ so it was right. ‘Probability of 2.0%. It’s very unlikely this audio was generated with ElevenLabs or the audio was manipulated,” Rogan announced.
The producer proposed running the test multiple times to determine if the site was experiencing issues.
“Hold on a second, that, that makes sense. Like, that means it’s accurate,” Rogan remarked before his producer clarified, “This is the guy who made the original tweet, uh, this is the guy who posted the goofy little glitch that makes ElevenLabs say his voice was AI generated once every few tests.”
Regardless of the results, Rogan said the video still “sounded like AI to me.”
“It sounded like there’s a weird… there’s a weird fake expression, there’s a, there’s a smell, like when you, you hear, it there’s a smell,” he commented while playing a segment of what he considered the fishy the phone call again.
“‘It just seems, there’s something—the ‘heart and soul into me,’ it’s ‘something into me,’ it’s like, it’s a robot talking, it’s it’s Ex Machina.”
