Verdict: False

Check Your Fact conducted a scan of the video using the website “TrueMedia.org,” and the results indicate the video has been generated with artificial intelligence (AI). In addition, a media forensics and AI expert denied the video’s authenticity in an email to Check Your Fact.

Fact Check:

USA Today/Suffolk University’s final poll before the 2024 presidential election shows Harris and Trump are tied at 49% in Pennsylvania among likely voters, according to Newsweek. A Sept. 16 poll from USA Today/Suffolk University showed Harris was ahead of Trump in Pennsylvania by three points, the outlet reported.

The X video, viewed over four million times as of writing, claims Harris called Trump “Hitler” on Rogan’s podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

“Joe, Donald Trump is literally Adolf Hitler,” Harris appears to say. Later in the same video, Harris appears to liken Trump’s campaign rally at Madison Square Garden to a Nazi rally held at the same venue in 1939. Besides X, the claim also circulated on Threads.

The claim is false. Check Your Fact conducted a scan of the video using the website “TrueMedia.org,” and the results indicate the video has been generated with AI. According to the results of the scan, the video features AI-generated audio as well as “face manipulation.”

Likewise, Check Your Fact did not find the claim referenced on Harris’ 2024 campaign website or her verified social media accounts. In addition, Check Your Fact found no credible news reports suggesting Harris has appeared on Rogan’s podcast. Actually, the opposite is true.

On Oct. 30, Fox News reported Harris’ campaign had reached out to Rogan following his “open invitation” to have her on his podcast. The interview was scrapped, however, because Rogan would not agree to the campaign’s demands that the interview only be one hour and that Rogan would travel to meet the Vice President, according to the outlet.

Politifact also fact-checked the viral X video, indicating it was AI-generated.

Furthermore, Dr. Walter Scheirer, a media forensics and AI expert at the University of Notre Dame, denied the video’s authenticity in an email to Check Your Fact.

“This video allegedly from the Joe Rogan podcast is likely the product of AI editing or other software editing. The jaw of Harris deforms in unnatural ways when delivering lines about Hitler. And the audio sounds synthesized throughout the clip. Further, the video was posted by comedian Danny Polishchuk, making it highly likely it was produced for entertainment purposes,” Scheirer said.
