Joe Rogan Experience #2572 - Colum Tyrrell · Aired Oct 29, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Only one or two people a year are pushed in front of New York subway trains.
The finding
What remains unresolved
Colum offers a tentative guess. The on-air lookup then gives 20-25 people pushed onto tracks, expressly distinguishing that from people struck or killed by a train. These are different outcomes, and a current NYPD table was not obtained to certify an annual figure. Do not use the corrected-on-air guess as an unqualified falsehood.
No supporting source was captured. This finding should not be treated as a sourced conclusion.
Quick answer & review status
Quick answer
Is it true that only one or two people a year are pushed in front of New York subway trains?
We can't say yet. Colum offers a tentative guess. The on-air lookup then gives 20-25 people pushed onto tracks, expressly distinguishing that from people struck or killed by a train. Colum Tyrrell said it (matched by voice) on Joe Rogan Experience #2572 - Colum Tyrrell, aired Oct 29, 2026, at 1:30:26. We couldn't settle it from the evidence we captured, so it stays an open question, not a false claim. No supporting source was captured, so don't treat this as a sourced conclusion.
