From "Why Harris (with Beyoncé in tow) is heading to solidly red Texas" (NYT)
Meanwhile: "Mr. Trump is planning his own Texas sojourn on Friday, heading to Austin to record Joe Rogan’s podcast...."
What ever happened to Harris's "talks" with Rogan? Here's what I wrote about that 10 days ago:
I'm seeing that Trump is going on Rogan's show and that Harris is "in talks" to go on the show. If the "talks" don't result in an actual appearance on the show, I would expect Rogan to tell us what the Harris people wanted that he refused to give. I trust him to maintain his usual standards, which I believe give him freedom to ask what he wants and deny the guest any power to edit. It's hard to believe Harris's people would submit to that. Even the "talks" feel like desperation. It's risky for her to go on the show, and I believe she is risking having him release his own rant describing the failed talks and crediting Trump for simply going on the show like anyone else.
Harris's Texas trip — festooned with celebrities — seems designed to seize the Texas attention from Trump and Joe Rogan.

the final pitch from Kamala is - everyone call Trump a Nazi/Hitler...
Surround herself with rich rich rich ultra wealthy celebrities.
She's going to Texas to be heard in Wisconsin and Michigan? Who thought of that?
Besides Rogan's large subscriber audience, much of what people see are clips on X. Although recorded in Austin, I don't see that Rogan is fully associated with Texas. The Rogan-Trump interview will go viral. I don't see how they think getting P-Diddy Beyonce and Willie Nelson steals any thunder from the podcast.
She's talking from a comfy chair with a sympathetic questioner. How brave! I wonder how many ways they'll condemn Trump all the while ignoring an exploration of just why someone who's been in office for the past 3+ years has done precisely nothing to help US citizens.
OT: Please Read the transcript of the exchange between a female college pro-abortionist and Ben Shapiro.
Wow - She is *like* barley literate.
The Harris campaign will be in Texas? Either they think the election is in the bag, or so hopelessly lost that it is time to start doing favors for 2026 and 2028.
she is scheduled to record a podcast interview with the popular podcaster Brené Brown, a University of Houston professor and vulnerability researcher who has an audience of millions that skews heavily female.... Guess they've given up on the male vote now that everyone has figured out Tim Walz is gay and his wife is just a cooky, googly eyed cray lady.
Et tu, Willie???
Beyoncé being there is the bestest birthday party pony ever!
Brene Brown? Oh man I hate that woman with the passion of a thousand suns. The fact that she's putting Kamala on has confirmed that I have great taste.
Odd that Willie would lend support to a candidate very likely to weaponize the IRS against rich people like him. She wants Willie (and his heirs and assigns) to keep paying that fair share.
Shorter quote - "Just about everything related to Ms. Harris is engineered."
In fact, her being in Texas just highlights that she is too scared to go on Rogan.
Birches,
Say more... What is it about Brene Brown? I recognize the name, but that's about all.
That was.................enlightening. Reminds me of some of our usual suspects.
She can't handle Andy Cooper and pre-screened questions for 44 minutes on CNN. Even their hosts thought she blew her chance to reach the audience with genuine (not canned) answers. I think just anticipating the prospect of enduring 120 minutes of non-stop conversation with an intelligent curious plainspoken guy would cause her to OD on Xanax. It's unpossible.
Not that it's risk-free for The Donald either. Rogan brooks no bullshit, although unlike the Big Media sourpussies he does have a sense of humor.
Heh, I don't think the women in Madison want to hear what the women in Houston think.
I'll give credit to Kamala for actually having an event in Houston. When Hillary came to Houston in 2016, it was only to land at the big airport and then ride in her motorcade to Beaumont for a private fundraiser. If she had used a smaller plane to travel, she could have saved the hour drive and landed in Beaumont.
As is she doesn't already have the Beyonce vote sewn up. Won't they vote just like the Swifties do anyway? I'm mildly curious whether we'll get the Harris who wanted to jail pot users or the one who pretends to be a Jamaican ganja-hound when Kammy meets Willie. And I am looking forward to her faux Texan accent. (She's avoiding WI until she can get that regional styling semicorrect.)
Willie backing the commie is nothing new for those of us living in Texas.
"The Journalists say, with evidence to the contrary, that the Trump campaign has not invested in and does not expect to win any of those states, just as Ms. Harris is not pretending she has a chance to win Texas.......
So, another soft-candy interview with the Progressive allies, plus Willie ! and Beyonce ! as a bonus Free Gift ! for attending.... I'm sure there will be a private fund-raiser or two wedged in there somewhere.....
I would have said to that idiot female college student - "You do realize - prior to your birth you were a fetus."
Somehow, it all comes back to Cletus the Fetus.
As it should.
What's the worst thing a woman can hear after Willie Nelson gets her pregnant?
"Um...I'm...not Willie Nelson"
As Mark Halperin notes, she is not even starting the first event today (the Brown interview) until 5:30. She's down two touchdowns, inside the two-minute warning, and is taking 25 seconds to snap the ball with each play.
Two things I'm so looking about reading in the tell-alls of 2025:
--the inside story of the cover up of Bidens' senility, and how they finally pushed him out.
--the chaos, infighting and ultimately sauve-qui-peut of the Democrats in the last two weeks of the campaign.
I always regarded Willie Nelson as hugely overrated as a classic C/W artist. Wrote a few good songs, but that's it. Now he's given me a reason to dislike him personally.
He ain't no Moe Bandy.
Ok, here's a question Brene might ask Kamala as she settles into her comfy chair: you've been reaching out to our black brothers to vote for you, but why should they if you keep importing millions of migrants who are going to take their jobs and lower their pay? Wassup wit dat? Not to mention you giving all of them free housing, medical care, and education, along with spending money. Girl friend, you taking all us black folks for fools?

Insert laughing emoji here.
"vulnerability researcher"
That sounds like a scam.
"Now [Willie Nelson has] given me a reason to dislike him personally."
That's what she said after she found out she hadn't been with Willie Nelson after all.
"with Beyonce in tow" -- lol.
More like, with Kamala in tow. Queen Bey walks two steps behind no one.
“a podcast interview with the popular podcaster Brené Brown, a University of Houston professor and vulnerability researcher who has an audience of millions that skews heavily female…”
1. Never heard of Rene Brown
2. What is a vulnerability researcher?
3. Choosing this “podcaster with an audience of millions” is what? The poor black woman’s joe Rogan? Is it simply a way to say “she did the podcast thing in Texas” though it wasn’t Rogan, it was a “sista” because Kamala’s down with the struggle?
4. Love the comment about how this is going to speak to the undecideds in the battlegrounds states… fuckin brilliant!

"'If it takes Vice President Harris to elevate the voices of women in Houston so they are heard in Madison and Kalamazoo and Pittsburgh, that’s what we’re going to do'...”
In order to be heard that far away, that’s gonna puncture some eardrums closer in.
Take a knee for progress is not a compelling empathetic plea.
While leaning over the edge of the cliff considering whether or not to jump, America has not lost its way quite yet. We will soon find out. This election will set America's course for many years to come as to values, character and what comes first in public life. The choice could hardly be more stark— either rule of law applicable to everyone or the self-dealing cancer of unrestrained Trumpism.
Nooooz Qween!
He’s closer to Moe Howard at this point.
Apparently strategists think this is a thing. Trump in California, too. The quiet part Kamala says out loud, they’re really trying to reach swing staters…
Rogan refused for years to have Trump on his show. Did his "masters" give him the green light? Or has Rogan decided that since Trump might win the Presidency, its now OK?
Its curious. I look forward to watching it.
i think they're worried about South Texas Congress people
https://www.mayrafloresforcongress.com/
locked in a bitter race to represent Texas Congressional District 34 in South Texas. The race in the Rio Grande Valley is considered one of the only competitive congressional races in Texas and a top priority for both major national political parties.
On the economy, Flores blamed the Biden administration's foreign spending for the country's economic woes and advocated for a return to Trump-era policies. Gonzalez said he would target corporate price gouging to bring down costs for consumers.
Harris is like Biden without the excuse of being Senile. No tough questions. Edited interviews to make them look good. Pre-screened questions and audiences. Speeches with telepromters.
Pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain!
The MSM and her handlers think the USA public is made up of morons. And they may be proven correct.
Seriously Iman, you've used this one five times ??
Every middle aged woman who is fluent in therapy speak worships Brene Brown. She's not even a real therapist. She's a social work professor. Just another self help fraud. Once I sat in a workshop with a real therapist, and women in the class just took over with what Brene Brown says. I didn't really care for her before (and didn't really care about the workshop either), but it just made me dislike Brown all the more.
There really is only two possible explanations for Harris doing a campaign swing through Texas- they either know they can produce any number of fraud ballots to win the election or they know there is nothing they can do at this point to win and are helping Democrats win the House and/or Senate or at least minimize the damage.
All the real Texans just shake their head, then they forgive Willie, and pull up his music. He's Texas' national red-headed stepchild.
I never believed Harris would appear on a Rogan podcast even though I think it would do her good to do so, but she needed to do it 2 months ago.
Twitter was Trump's secret weapon in 2016 . I suspect the podcast interview will turn out to be his secret weapon in 2024, with the Joe Rogan interview being the crowning achievement. I suspect he has correctly understood that this medium has the advantage of precise targeting with his message, and with a second advantage of its power being poorly understood by the Progressive Democrats.
Brene Brown is White, fool.
“The poor black woman’s joe Rogan? Is it simply a way to say “she did the podcast thing in Texas” though it wasn’t Rogan, it was a “sista” because Kamala’s down with the struggle?”
Brene Brown is White.
P-Diddy Beyonce and Willie Nelson are supporting harris! Well in that case, I'm going to vote for her! Oh, wait, I already early voted, never mind.
"If it takes Vice President Harris to elevate the voices of women.."
Awww, jeez- not this shit again. If it's not "Grrl power" and "I am woman, hear me roar", it's "Women are being oppressed and want to be heard". Pick one and run with it, already.
Willie Nelson wrote a lot of songs for other performers (most famously "Crazy" which Patsy Cline made famous). He's been supporting Democrats for decades. He hasn't given me reason to personally hate him or even think much about him.
A clip of Beto O'Rourke "singing" "On the Road Again" with Willie is available online. Beto is typical of today's politicians. He's not really anything. Not a real Mexican-American, not a good ol' boy, a stoner, or a hipster, or anything else. Just a politician trying to play different roles and not being convincing in any of them.
Rogan is not a fan of Trump. He likes Robert Kennedy Jr. So Kennedy's endorsement of Trump is what made him more interesting to Joe. Rogan is a classic liberal/libertarian. I expect Rogan to ask him a lot of hard questions. But without all the interruption that you see from the left. And without an attempt to control a narrative.
It's a great question to ask even if she's green. Answer it, Nurse Ratched. Why should ANY black person vote for Kamala if she's going to keep importing migrants by the millions who will be taking the jobs of black people?
" the popular podcaster Brené Brown, a University of Houston professor and vulnerability researcher who has an audience of millions that skews heavily female....".
What the .... never mind, I'm pretty sure I don't want to know. Except that I'm also pretty sure I'm paying for it.
Dunno… I’ve stopped counting. 🤪
Joe Rogan’s value is in the guests he gets to spill the beans.
I expect DJT to tell a him lot now that Kamala has crashed and burned.
Rogan had Brian Cox on , the astrophysacist, Rogan had some very penetrating questions and insights. He held his own. No wonder Harris doesn't want to go on. Rogan doesn't suffer fools well.
This is the kind of clear thinking leadership that we need in our next President…
He married into a West Texas billionaire family. He's just a poser in a waiting-for-the-wife-to-inherit game.
I agree with SC. I think Rogan will ask Trump a lot of hard questions, with pointed follow ups, in part to prove that he's not in the tank for Trump.
"If the "talks" don't result in an actual appearance on the show, I would expect Rogan to tell us what the Harris people wanted that he refused to give."
According to a Harris spokesman she was unable to do interview because of a scheduling problem.
She had previous engagement on the twelfth of never.
I struggle to understand the strategy here. People who listen to Brene Brown already early-voted for Kamala, and you'd think she'd want to avoid additional associations with Willys.
Did she stump for those Congress people or just speak to Kalamazoo from Houston?
