Podcaster Joe Rogan admitted he is “horrified” by the U.S. war with Iran, calling it something “nobody that’s conservative wanted,” according to The Daily Beast and The Hill. Speaking on his podcast with right-wing British politician Rupert Lowe, Rogan criticized President Trump for escalating the conflict, which has led to rising energy prices and widespread public concern.

Rogan’s Criticism of Trump on Iran War

Rogan said Trump “might’ve f—ed it up” with the war, echoing conservative criticism from figures like Tucker Carlson and Matt Walsh, “They’re the only people that seem to be thinking it’s a good idea in this country,” Rogan said, referring to supporters of Israel. “Most people are horrified by the idea because Trump was elected, and One of the pillars that he stood for apparently was that he doesn’t want any more wars.”

Lowe agreed. Saying it was “difficult to see what the benefit” of the war was, though he acknowledged Iran’s support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah; “They are a problem, but certainly from our point of view, you’re the only country with the ability to do anything about it,” he said.

Manipulated Audio and Podcaster Legacy

A manipulated audio clip circulating on Instagram falsely presented a conversation between Rogan and Elon Musk about brain-reading AirPods; According to dpa-factchecking.com, the clip was a doctored edit of two different podcast episodes. The English audio did not match Rogan’s or Musk’s lip movements, and the background settings were inconsistent with the original recordings.

Meanwhile, Rogan’s legacy in combat sports is marked by his debut as a UFC commentator at UFC 37.5 in 2002, according to mma.es. The event. Held at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, was named UFC 37.5 to avoid conflicting with the already announced UFC 38 in the UK, it marked the beginning of Rogan’s long-standing and iconic role in UFC broadcasting.
