Rogan warns U.S. nearing “civil war”

Podcast host Joe Rogan has warned that America is edging closer to civil conflict after witnessing public celebrations of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan said the reaction to Kirk’s murder exposed how dangerously polarized the country has become. “People are celebrating someone being killed just because they disagree with them,” Rogan said, calling it a moral collapse and a sign the U.S. may already be “at step seven” toward a civil war. He expressed alarm that even professionals were publicly posting joy over the killing, saying such reactions show “how far we’ve fallen.”

Rogan’s comments come amid continuing unrest at TPUSA events, months after Kirk’s death. During a Monday event at the University of California, Berkeley, a TPUSA supporter was assaulted and several protesters were arrested for violent offenses and vandalism.

Rogan, who has long cautioned against the normalisation of political violence, said the celebration of Kirk’s murder marked a disturbing new stage in America’s political divide.
