Podcast host Joe Rogan revealed Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris team set strict conditions for her appearance on his show. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo has more.

Rogan says he invited both Harris and Donald Trump to the Joe Rogan Experience. Trump accepted and appeared last week for a three hour interview. In a post on X, Rogen said Harris team demanded that he travel to her and limit the episode to just an hour, a rare move for the podcast's lengthy format. Rogan, however, said that he hopes for a longer in studio chat, saying he just wants a quote, nice conversation to get to.

Can you imagine Kamala doing this show? I could imagine she would be laying on the floor. She was supposed to do it and she might still do it and I hope she does. She's not going to do it. I will talk to her like a human being.

The news comes amid reports that Trump's running mate JD Vance is set to appear on the podcast.

Daily Wire editor emeritus and host Ben Shapiro is calling out the New York Times for attempting to silence conservative voices on YouTube one week out from the election. Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham has the details.

Last night on X, Shapiro posted a number of screenshots of texts from New York Times reporter Nico Grant. Now Grant said the Times was going to publish a report on ostensible election misinformation on YouTube, based on research by the far left media watchdog group Media Matters. The Times reporter cited Shapiro saying that Democrats had, quote, rigged many of the voting rules in advance of the election in order to ensure an extraordinary number of mail in ballots. And he also mentioned Shapiro citing ballot harvesting. Grant also reached out to other prominent hosts on the right with a similar request. Here's Shapiro discussing the Times report on his show today.

They are overtly attempting to just shut down all conservative dissemination of information on the biggest video platform in existence one week in advance of an election. If that's not an attempt to rig an election, I don't know what is. USA Today joins the Washington Post and the LA Times in choosing not to endorse any candidate in the 2024 presidential race, data Daily Wire senior editor Joel Kneedler reports.

A spokesperson says USA Today believes in focusing on local races instead, allowing editors across its network to endorse at state and local levels. The decision follows similar moves by the Washington Post and the LA Times, sparking backlash and even resignations among some staff members. Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos continues to defend the choice not to endorse a candidate and calls out left wing bias in the media in an op ed he penned himself. He maintains that endorsements fuel perceptions of bias, and he's also vowing to revitalize the paper's reputation.

The former Trump strategist was let go from federal prison today after serving four months for contempt of Congress. Bannon, who was convicted after refusing to comply with a subpoena from the J6 committee, called his imprisonment a fight for his country. Here he is speaking in Manhattan today.

I'm far from broken and I will tell you, if President Trump's grassroots forces combine as we can combine right now, you're going to see unbelievable numbers next Tuesday. Sean Diddy Combs has been hit with two new lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault. One of them alleges that he assaulted a 10 year old aspiring rapper in 2003. Five the other claims he abused a 17 year old auditioning for making the band an early 2000s MTV show. Combs denies the accusations, with his attorneys calling them false and a publicity stunt. Combs, who's already facing a sex trafficking indictment, maintains his innocence and has pled not guilty.

And after the media's extreme reaction to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's joke at the Trump rally, Jon Stewart has also come out to defend the comedian. Stewart says the comedian was just doing what he does.

There's something wrong with me. I find that guy very funny. So I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you. I mean, bringing him to a rally and have him not do roast jokes? That'd be like bringing Beyonce to a rally and not oh, all right. Those are your Drive Home updates this afternoon.
