Rogan later noted he had previously met Kirk and they got along well.
Per Newsweek:
Joe Rogan was stunned to learn about Charlie Kirk’s death while recording his latest episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast with guest Charlie Sheen.
“So this just happened, we just found out that Charlie Kirk got shot,” Rogan said in the episode, filmed Wednesday but released Thursday.
Sheen responded, “That’s f**king awful… murdered for having a different opinion from somebody else, different ideology from somebody.”
Rogan, who said he’d met Kirk previously and they’d got on well, said it “doesn’t seem real” that the conservative commentator had been killed.
“We were talking about assassinations earlier, whether it’s Kennedy or RFK or, you know, you think of them in the past. You think when something happens in the current, like right now with this one with Charlie Kirk, it doesn’t seem real. It seems like it’s gonna take a long time before we reference this as something that happened,” Rogan said.
