Joe Rogan warns that people celebrating Charlie Kirk's death indicate we are closer to 'civil war'

Joe Rogan. warned Tuesday that the murder of conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), Charlie Kirk, as well as the celebrations that accompanied his death, are a sign that the country is approaching a civil war.

During the most recent episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," the podcaster told producer Brian Redban that the sharp divide within United States was highlighted by Kirk's murder last September.

"Charlie Kirk gets shot and people are celebrating. Like, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!' You want people to die you disagree with? Where are we right now on the scale of one to civil war? Where are we? Are we at seven? Because I thought we were at five. I thought we were at like four, four or five," Rogan told Redban on Tuesday's episode.

"But after the Charlie Kirk thing, I'm like, 'Oh, we might be like seven.' This might be like step seven on the way to a bonafide civil war," he added.

Rogan stressed that if Kirk's greatest offense was simply saying things that others disagreed with, then celebrating his assassination reflects a disturbing moral decline and is deeply troubling.

Days after Kirk's murder, Rogan said that his murder "opened his eyes" and that he would never have thought that so many people would celebrate a man's death.
