"It's just a scary time" - Joe Rogan questions if media portrayal fuels thoughts of Donald Trump's assassination

Joe Rogan has never been known to shy away from sharing his opinion on his immensely popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. The UFC commentator recently questioned if the media played a role in the recent assassination attempt of former United States president Donald Trump.

Speaking to guest Shawn Ryan on episode #2207 of JRE, Rogan questioned if another assassination attempt could happen in the final month leading up to the 2024 president election before adding:

"Forget about the organization. Forget that there are people out there - probably like Iran and maybe state actors or who knows - that's trying to kill Trump. What about just the f**king general kooks that have been buying all this rhetoric everyday that he's a threat to democracy and they think that this is the one thing that can give them meaning in their life. The one great act that they can accomplish to go out and kill Trump."

Ryan noted that Trump has been a controversial figure in the media for much of the shooter's life. Rogan added:

"24% of those r**ards [who respond to polls] are dumb enough to think that it's a good idea to shoot Trump and that the American people shouldn't be able to decide on their own. That's what's really crazy. They think they're right and you're wrong and no matter what, they have to stop you from getting your vote. They have to stop you from voting in the direction that you are thinking you are going to vote for."

During Shawn Ryan's appearance on episode #227 of JRE, Joe Rogan weighed in on the additives found in food and water. The UFC commentator claimed that many Americans are unaware of the damages before adding:

"An enormous percentage of people show traces of glyphosate in their blood. We're getting it through all kinds of vegetables. It's ubiquitously sprayed on monocrop agriculture crops. We're all just consuming these poisons. There's no reason to have fluoride in the water. There's f**king no reason."
