Joe Roganwent right back to criticizing PresidentDonald Trumpand the Iran war after a chummy White House visit where Trump ribbed Rogan for being “liberal.”
On Thursday’sThe Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan was joined by fellow comedianJames McCann, who innocently asked Rogan at one point if we’re “gonna be okay.” McCann, an Australian, was looking for more information on why the Iran war started.
Rogan noted the current extended ceasefire with Iran, though he acknolwedged it’s difficult to know how serious to take it with reports of Iran seizing and striking ships in the Strait of Hormuz, where roughly 20% of the world’s oil flows through, where they have set up their own blockade.
“It’s gonna be okay?” McCann asked Rogan.
“No one fucking knows. I mean, what’s going on with Iran’s ceasefire. Supposedly they extended it, but they’re shooting at ships,” Rogan said, letting out a sigh.
Rogan argued the timing of the strikes against Iran made no sense to him.
“People have wanted people out of Iran, the people who are running Iran, for 47 years, but no one has actually gone and done it the way this administration did it, and it doesn’t make sense they chose to do it when they did it. Like, what made sense was — maybe it kind of made sense when they dropped that cluster bomb,” he said, referring to a June 2025strikeon multiple Iranian nuclear facilities.
The podcaster asked at lamented at one point, “I don’t know how this is ever going to work out. I really don’t.”
Rogan later made his opinion on the motivation for the war clearer, placing blame on the influence of Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu, noting his friendly visits to the White House.
“Why did we do it? I don’t know. I think because of Israel, if I had to guess. It’s the only thing that makes sense,” he said.
