Overview
- On Tuesday’s podcast with Brian Redban, Rogan rated the country a “seven” on a scale from one to civil war after witnessing online celebrations of Charlie Kirk’s September murder.
- He called such reactions by “regular people” “dark territory” and urged Americans to resolve differences through conversation rather than endorsing violence.
- Multiple people lost jobs over posts rejoicing in or attacking Kirk following his assassination, highlighting real-world fallout from social media reactions.
- Accounts of how widespread the celebration was remain contested, with historian Heather Cox Richardson saying she saw none on the left and Grabien’s Tom Elliot sharing a supercut claiming to show it.
- Tensions at TPUSA events persist, with local police reporting arrests at a UC Berkeley stop where a man was seen beating a supporter, as polling shows majorities expect a political assassination within five years and notable shares say violence can be justified.
