In a recent episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast, Rogan and comedian Chad Daniels delved into the media’s portrayal of the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The two discussed the possibility of a coordinated effort to discredit Trump and raised doubts about the media’s unified narrative on multiple incidents.
Joe Rogan began the conversation by expressing disbelief over the incident. “The Trump one is just so nuts too. Like, if he turns his head at the last second and the bullet grazes his ear, if he didn’t, it hits the back of his head, and he’s dead. And then we fall into chaos, and who knows what the f**k happens.”

“The whole thing stinks of either incompetence or a design or we’re in The Matrix…The whole thing is bananas. He’s 20-years-old and then you find out he was in a BlackRock commercial?”@joerogan [1] pic.twitter.com/LCl4Cnwibx [2]

Chad Daniels added, “Big chaos.”
Rogan continued, questioning the security failures, “And then people think that the Biden administration had Trump killed. And then there’s these questions, like, how the f**k does this 20-year-old kid climb on that roof 150 yards away, and no one sees him?”
Daniels noted, “Well, that one guy was pointing at him the whole time. He’s like pointing to see like he’s right there.”
Rogan elaborated on the chaotic scene, “And they’re yelling, he’s got a gun. There’s a guy in the prone position on a roof 150 yards away from the former president. The whole thing’s nuts. The whole thing stinks of either incompetence or a design or we’re in the matrix. This is a f**king fake movie. It seems like almost to watch this, the most bombastic and manly of presidents, you know, for lack of a better term, to see him with these two female, bumbling Secret Service agents. To see that, to see everything happen the way it is, to see that they knew this guy was on the roof, to hear that that guy had pointed his rifle before that at a cop. So the cop engaged him. He pointed the rifle, and the cop ran away. The guy climbed the roof with a ladder. You can see the ladder. The whole thing is bananas. He’s 20 years old. And then you find out he was in a BlackRock commercial. You’re like, am I, is this the black mirror? Like, tell me what’s going on. Is this real? 20 years old, and he’s got this idea, and he pulls it off. He actually gets a shot off and nicks him, and then they kill him like you’ve seen his 20-year-old kid, his life is over like somehow or another he talked himself into trying to assassinate the President as a lone gunman in Pennsylvania, got on top of a roof, either through sheer incompetence or some other for some other reason, he actually gets a shot off, and the President just moves his head at the right time. Like, the whole thing is, if it was in a movie, I’d be like, shut the f**k up.”
Daniels added a philosophical perspective, “That’ll make you believe in God. That’s when God’s up there, when he’s going, like, I don’t want to talk to this guy yet.”
Rogan concluded by highlighting the media’s role in shaping public perception, “Maybe he wants him here to expose how crazy our political system really is. Because the only way we find out how coordinated everything is, whether you’re a Trump fan or not, whether even if you hate Trump, put that aside for a second and just look at how much coordination there is in the media to go after him, and it exposes like this, this thing where you have to step back and go, Wait a minute. Hold on, a second. What? What’s really going on? Like, what? Whether you hate that guy or not, hate him. Hate him. Think he’s a crook. Hate him. Think he’s a liar. Hate him. Don’t think it’s weird that they’re all in lockstep with the way they talk about them, even with things that aren’t true, like, especially the Russia collusion hoax that they all talked about for years and years. I thought it was real. I thought like he colluded with Russia, and that was, like, the crazy thing about him winning the presidency. Oh, my God, he worked with Russia. Maybe Russia has something on him. You kept hearing about it, right? That was just bullshit. And they went through that for years and years, and then you start going, Okay, what else is coordinated, where everybody is saying, like, how about the Nord Stream pipeline? You know, Seymour Hersh says we blew it up. Like esteemed journalists, it was like, no matter what they say, I am telling you, this was our doing. We blew this up. This wasn’t some other country. This wasn’t Russia. They wouldn’t blow up their own pipeline. We blew it up. But every newspaper is like, this is bullshit. Is impossible. It could not happen. This was, this was Russian disinformation. Russian disinformation. You hear it about like, every story, it’s like so hard to understand. Like, what is the motivation to getting these stories out? Are these narratives created by the real government that runs everything and then, like, tells the news organizations that are in business with them what to say and what to do? That’s where I get spooky.”
