What Joe Rogan has said about Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Rogan doubts the official account that the shooter disassembled and reassembled his rifle, arguing it would have lost accuracy.

“anybody who knows anything about guns knows that you take a scope off a gun, you take the barrel off the gun”

Rogan says Kirk's wound looks too small and lacks an exit wound for a .30-06 rifle round.

“30-06 is a big rifle round and to shoot a guy in the neck with a 30-06 you would expect”

Rogan notes widespread doubt about who shot Kirk but rejects the 'microphone' theory for lack of any visible discharge.

“The problem I have with that is you don't see any fire coming off of the microphone”

Rogan argues that a .30-06 round should have produced an exit wound and that the absence of one makes the official account questionable.

“I think it would have blown a hole out the back. That's the thing”

Rogan says the account of the shooter assembling and disassembling the rifle on a roof is implausible because a rifle must be zeroed after reassembly.

“Reassembling a gun does not make it accurate. You have to zero a rifle in”

Rogan rejects the exploding-microphone theory because a charge propelling a projectile would produce visible fire.

“if it explodes, you're going to see it explode, unless they've developed some sort of way of hiding that that I don't know about”
