The worlds of political discourse and podcast commentary have been intertwined heavily in the past few months. Joe Rogan, the UFC commentator turned podcast kingpin, found himself in an unusual situation. His praise for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had sparked an intense reaction from former President Donald Trump. This led to what Rogan describes as “the craziest” attack.
Rogan opened up about the incident during episode #2220 of his JRE podcast. The controversy erupted when Rogan expressed admiration for Kennedy’s approach to political discourse. However, Trump apparently did not like it and went into attack mode. This is what Rogan said about it.
“He [Donald Trump] got mad at me one time because I said that RFK Jr. was the only guy that makes sense. With RFK Jr., he talks about facts, and he talks about reality, and he talks about issues and he talks about studies and what we know about things. And so what did he [Donald Trump] do? He just attacked me. But he attacked me in the craziest way.”
Rogan admires RFK Jr., particularly for his fact-based discussions and ability to avoid personal attacks. The irony wasn’t lost on Rogan – his appreciation for Kennedy’s non-confrontational style resulted in him becoming a target of confrontation himself.
The situation highlighted the peculiar nature of modern political discourse. Rogan’s praise for Kennedy’s intellectual approach resonated with many listeners. However, this seemingly innocuous appreciation was interpreted as a political endorsement, triggering a cascade of criticism not just from Trump but from Republicans at large.

The discussion took an unexpected turn when Joe Rogan steered the conversation toward one of America’s most enduring mysteries. Trump’s response revealed the complex reality of presidential power and its limitations. Despite his reputation for being outspoken, Trump showed unusual restraint when discussing the classified documents.
“[The JFK files] address the people that are still living, there are people that are affected. And, it could be some national security reason that I don’t have to necessarily know about. But some really good, talented people asked me not to do it.”
What makes this conversation particularly fascinating is Trump’s explanation for maintaining secrecy. The former president’s careful dance around the subject suggested that even the most powerful office in the world sometimes has to yield to deeper considerations.
