Over the past three days, five wildfires have erupted in LA, leaving a long trail of devastation behind. Thousands of people have lost their lives and homes—including several celebrities— to the largest wildfire in LA’s history, as per reports. However, while the state has been urging residents to stay alert for any risks, it turns out podcaster Joe Rogan had already sounded the alarm months ago about this apocalyptic event.
A 2024 clip of Joe Rogan discussing the possibility of a massive fire tearing through California has recently gone viral. The podcast host made these remarks to comedian Sam Morril on a July 2024 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience
. In the episode, Rogan recounted a conversation with a firefighter who warned of a fire that would “burn through LA to the ocean”
—which is eerily similar to what is happening right now.

Rogan’s firefighter story is not new, though. He has shared it multiple times on his show. Recently, another clip from his podcast featuring Donald Trump, where the politician warned about wildfires in California, has also surfaced. That video, recorded before the election, showed Trump echoing concerns about devastating fires. But Rogan’s chilling prediction has been viewed over 6 million times over on X.
