Donald Trump recently speculated about the potential for Joe Rogan to be booed at an upcoming UFC event. This comment came a day after Rogan released a podcast episode where he voiced his support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Trump, on Truth Social, expressed his interest in seeing how loudly Rogan might be booed in the UFC arena, adding a touch of MAGA-themed commentary to his post.
In the latest episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan talked about his views on politics with YouTuber Sam Gymlan. Rogan explained that while politics often involves manipulation and promotion of narratives, he finds Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be an exception. Rogan praised Kennedy for his reasoned approach, noting that Kennedy focuses on actions and ideas rather than personal attacks. He described Kennedy as someone who stands out in the political landscape, citing Kennedy’s past work as an environmental lawyer and his efforts to clean up the East River.
Rogan’s praise for Kennedy, however, was not meant as an official endorsement. On X, Rogan clarified his position, stating that his comments were intended to highlight Kennedy’s civil and intelligent discourse rather than to endorse him politically. Rogan emphasized that he appreciates Kennedy’s approach but is not a source of political information. For those seeking political insights, he recommended turning to experts like Dave Smith, who, according to Rogan, is more knowledgeable in that area.
That’s just what they do. That’s politics. They do it on the left, they do it on the right. They gaslight you, they manipulate you, they promote narratives, and the only one who is not doing that is Robert F. Kennedy Jr..”
“You a fan?” asked Gymlan.
“Yeah, I am a fan. He’s the only one that makes sense to me,” replied Rogan. “He’s the only one — he doesn’t attack people, he attacks actions and ideas, but he’s much more reasonable and intelligent. I mean, the guy was an environmental lawyer and he cleaned up the East River. He’s a legitimate guy.”
For the record, this isn’t an endorsement. This is me saying that I like RFKjr as a person, and I really appreciate the way he discusses things with civility and intelligence.
I think we could use more of that in this world.I also think Trump raising his fist and saying… https://t.co/pzkHe9SKVS
