Podcast giant Joe Rogan is sharply criticizing President Donald Trump over the new US war with Iran, saying the move contradicts the president's central campaign promise to avoid foreign conflict. Speaking on his podcast with journalist Michael Schellenberger, Rogan said the decision, quote, seems so insane based on what he ran on, adding that many supporters feel betrayed. Rogan said he ran on no more wars and these stupid senseless wars, end quote. And then we have one that we can't even really clearly define why we did it. Rogan also questioned whether the United States might be acting partially in Israel's interest rather than its own. Rogan's comments matter because he commands one of the largest audiences in media.
