Joe Rogan Breaks Silence on Texas School Shootings: “To Do the Most Horrific Thing to a Society That You Feel Like Has Abandoned You”

Spotify podcaster Joe Rogan recently appeared on Andrew Schulz’s ‘FLAGRANT’ podcast and talked about a subject that has been a point of discussion for long. They discussed the school shootings that have taken place.

Speaking about such incidents, Rogan said, “I think the problem is that it is a great way to get a lot of attention and to do the most horrific thing to a society that you feel like has abandoned you. … If you hate the world, one of the worst things you can do is kill kids.”

“So that’s the scariest thing for all of us. When you have children, you’ll have this feeling. It’s like the world becomes a completely different place. And which is one of the things like I was thinking, one of the things that happened to me when I became a parent and also just as I became older and I watched children grow and become bolder and wiser and figure things out. I realized we’re all just babies that grew up.”

“And I used to meet a person, and I used to think ‘oh, his guy’s an idiot’. But now, I look at someone, I literally like, I look at you and think of you as a baby. And I think of you going through your life and getting to who you are now. And it just instantaneously develops more empathy for people.”
