When the guest mentioned Tom Cruise’s role as a pilot, Rogan chimed in on the concept of the movie and said, “The movie is about the guys who are the best at flying the jets that kill people. They do that simply because they want to kill people… I’m just saying, it’s a wild subject for a movie.”

The JRE host added, “Like, this guy is the hero; the guy that kills people the best. And it’s kind of an indiscriminate way of killing people, you’re launching a missile into a f***ing bunker somewhere… You are not stabbing someone, not shooting someone in the face; You are launching missiles from the sky.”
