Joe Rogan Shares Donald Trump's Cryptic Remark About Dying in a Terrorist Attack

Podcaster Joe Rogan is opening up about an unexpected moment with President Donald Trump at a major sporting event.

The UFC held its Freedom 250 card on Sunday night, June 14, which served as a dual celebration of Trump's 80th birthday. Rogan was working as a commentator for the fight night and found himself in a striking conversation with the 80-year-old president.

During their exchange, Rogan mentioned his security anxieties to Trump. "I said to Trump, 'I hope we don't die in a terrorist attack,'" Rogan recounted on his podcast.

The president's response caught Rogan off guard. "He goes, 'We gotta go somehow,'" Rogan recalled, adding that his immediate reaction was one of bewilderment. "What the f-k, dude?" he responded at the time.

Rogan had previously expressed concerns about the logistics of hosting such a high-profile event at the White House amid geopolitical tensions. "I know it's going to be very high-security and high stress and weird to have a fight at the White House in the middle of a f—ing war," he noted ahead of the event. "I would hope the war will be sorted out by June, but quite honestly, I'm not confident that's going to be the case. So that'll be weird—having this very high-profile event where everyone's in one place at one time right there."

The UFC Freedom 250 drew numerous celebrity attendees to the historic venue for the evening's fights.
