  • Joe Rogan has claimed Donald Trump may have started the war in Iran to divert public attention from the release of the Epstein files.
  • Rogan drew parallels between this situation and Bill Clinton's actions during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, where he allegedly bombed other countries as a distraction.
  • Despite endorsing Donald Trump in 2024, Rogan has become increasingly critical of him since the Iran conflict began, questioning his age and the potential for reckless decisions.
  • The podcaster criticised Donald Trump's 'Operation Epic Fury' in Iran, warning it could lead to World War III, and noted that many supporters felt betrayed by the war.
  • Rogan also expressed disdain for Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again' slogan and labelled parts of the MAGA base as 'f***ing dorks' and 'crackpot Christian nationalists' who support the war for religious reasons.
