Joe Rogan reacts to Donald Trump assassination attempt

Podcaster breaks his silence on the Trump rally shooting, criticizing the chaotic response of the Secret Service.

Joe Rogan recently broke his silence on the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during his podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience."

Reflecting on the event, Rogan remarked, "If there's ever been a real indication that we're in a simulation, it's this season of USA. It's the craziest season that's ever existed. So many twists and turns, so many plots, so many villains, so many incompetent bumbling fools."

Rogan criticised the chaotic response of the Secret Service, particularly focusing on a female agent who struggled to holster her weapon. He commented, "It looks like an actress... If you were going to have a bumbling person in a movie, like almost a comedy of errors." He added, "You want Secret Service cool, calm, collected... You don't want to see any of this [expletive] squirly trying to put the gun back in. It seems fake."

Praising the bravery of the photographer who captured the iconic moment, Rogan said, "This [expletive] dude doesn't even duck. He's still got his camera out... That is so gangster. I mean, you want to talk about getting the shot no matter what." He continued, "You could see as the bullets start flying this [expletive] dude doesn't even duck. He's still got his camera out. That's one of the most iconic photos of all time."

Rogan also discussed the broader implications of the incident, suggesting it exposed underlying issues within the political and media landscape. He noted, "Whether you hate Trump or not... don't you think it's weird that they're all in lock step with the way they talk about him? Even with things that aren't true, like the Russia collusion hoax."

Rogan's commentary extended to the nature of reality and media narratives, referencing Elon Musk's belief in the possibility of living in a simulation. "Elon Musk said that the odds of us not being in the simulation are in the billions. He believes wholeheartedly that we're in a simulation," Rogan said, suggesting that events like these blur the lines between reality and fiction.
