The story begins with Joe Rogan’s recent podcast episode, where he sat down with music producer Scott Storch. Like many of Rogan’s episodes, the conversation meandered into political territory. Rogan expressed concern that President Joe Biden’s decision to let Ukraine use U.S.-supplied missiles against Russian territory could spark World War III. But Wladimir Klitschko wasn’t having any of it.
The Ukrainian legend. who swapped his boxing gloves for military gear when he joined Ukraine’s territorial defense in 2022, took to social media platform X. He accused Rogan of unknowingly becoming a mouthpiece for Russian propaganda.
“You [Rogan] talk about these American weapons being sent to Ukraine, which you believe will lead to the Third World War. So, let me tell you that you’re repeating Russian propaganda.”

Wladimir Klitschko even threw in a challenge that would make any podcast host’s ears perk up. He asked to be invited to discuss these issues face-to-face on Rogan’s show as ‘free men.’
The whole situation brings to mind that old saying about walking a mile in someone’s shoes. While Rogan discusses the conflict from his podcast studio in Texas, Klitschko has been living it on the ground in Ukraine. It’s the difference between watching a boxing match on TV and actually taking a punch.
Joe Rogan Recalled The Time Donald Trump Got Mad At Him For Praising RFK Jr.
In a recent episode of his wildly popular podcast, Rogan shared a story that perfectly captures the bizarre nature of modern politics. It turns out the new President, Donald Trump, wasn’t too happy with Joe Rogan’s positive comments about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Rogan had simply praised Kennedy’s approach to political discussions, noting how RFK Jr. relies on facts and studies to make his points. It was the kind of straightforward compliment you might give to someone who actually does their homework before a presentation. But in today’s hyper-polarized political landscape, even a simple nod of approval can set off fireworks.
“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 so what did he [Donald Trump] do? He just attacked me. But he attacked me in the craziest way.”
The whole situation has a certain comedic irony to it. Here’s Rogan, appreciating Kennedy specifically because he avoids personal attacks and sticks to the facts, and what does he get in return? A personal attack from Trump!
