Overview
- On Tuesday’s episode with guest Brian Redban, Rogan placed the U.S. at roughly a seven on a one‑to‑civil‑war scale, citing reactions to the September killing of Charlie Kirk.
- He pointed to social‑media celebrations of the assassination as evidence of “dark territory” and urged Americans to resolve differences through conversation rather than violence.
- Media reports say some individuals were fired over posts celebrating or attacking Kirk after his death, though how widespread those actions were remains contested.
- The Independent noted a Politico/Public First poll showing bipartisan expectations that a political figure will be assassinated within five years, with notable shares saying violence can be justified.
- The outlet also referenced a Reuters analysis counting at least 300 incidents of political violence between January 6 and the 2024 election and flagged civil‑conflict warnings from investor Ray Dalio.
