Joe Rogan was left nearly speechless after finding out Charlie Kirk was assassinated while filming his podcast. 

Rogan, 58, was seen with his hands on his head in distress after learning the devastating news during a chat with actor Charlie Sheen.  

‘This just happened, we just found out Charlie Kirk was shot,’ he said in shock on his podcast. ‘Is he dead?’ he questioned his production crew. 

‘That’s f**king awful,’ Sheen replied. 

Rogan took a moment to collect himself, taking a deep breath before talking into the microphone again, saying: ‘Whoa!’ 

As Sheen spoke, Rogan appeared dazed and responded with short ‘yeah’ replies. 

‘Murdered for having a different opinion from somebody else, different ideology from somebody else,’ Sheen said. 

‘Yeah,’ Rogan replied. ‘Do they even have a suspect?’ he asked the production crew.

Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck while at an event on a university campus in Utah on Wednesday. 

The MAGA star, wearing a white t-shirt, was sitting inside a tented gazebo taking questions from attendees when the moment happened. 

Before the shot rang out, Kirk was asked how many mass shooters there had been over the past 10 years.

‘Counting or not counting gang violence?’ the commentator said, before lowering his microphone.

He was shot less than a second later.

Screams were heard across the crowd of young people as those closest to Kirk rushed to his aid.

A father of two, Kirk was recognized for his staunch MAGA viewpoints and spirited discussions with college students nationwide. He collapsed right after a single bullet struck him in the neck from approximately 200 yards away.

Just moments before being hit, Kirk was responding to a question regarding mass shootings. He was urgently taken to the hospital in critical condition, but sadly, he was pronounced dead after two and a half hours.

The killer is still on the loose, with a major manhunt by the FBI and Utah police underway.

The FBI has released a photo of the suspect and is asking the public for help and are offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the killer’s arrest. 

Federal agents said earlier that they found a high-powered rifle in the woods after Kirk was shot dead at Utah Valley University – but admitted they still have not identified the killer.

The manhunt for Charlie Kirk’s assassin entered its second day Thursday. 

A bullet struck Kirk in the neck, sending the crowd into panic. Despite frantic efforts from staff and security to save him, he died. 

Two men were briefly taken into custody after the shooting, but investigators later confirmed they were not suspects and released them.

Kirk leaves behind his wife Erika Frantzve, with whom he had a three-year-old daughter and a son, 16 months. The couple celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in May.

President Donald Trump led the tributes for the late political commentator. ‘The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social.

‘He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!’

The President has ordered all American flags to be lowered to half-staff until Sunday evening at 6pm EST in honor of Kirk.
