Joe Rogan addressed a remark made by UFC fighter Josh Hokit during an event at the White House, where Hokit yelled, "Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?" Rogan, who was the master of ceremonies, did not initially respond to the comment but later discussed it on his podcast with comedian Ali Siddiq. CNN reported that former President Donald Trump appeared to smile at the comment. Rogan acknowledged the divisiveness of Hokit’s statement but suggested that it was part of Hokit’s persona as a fighter seeking attention. He stated, "It is very divisive, don’t get me wrong, but that’s by design. I don’t agree with it. I don’t—I wouldn’t do it. It’s not my thing. I don’t like it. But I get it, and it’s smart." Rogan also mentioned that having Hokit fight at the White House may not have been a good idea due to his tendency to make provocative statements.
