FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that he was the victim of a recent swatting incident. Patel, who assumed his role in February 2025, made the shocking announcement on an episode of Joe Rogan's podcast released on Friday. This comes after Patel vowed to crack down on suspect(s) responsible for a series of swatting incidents targeting conservative media figures that began in March.
"As Director of the FBI I have the responsibility, I'm not just going to bring a case because somebody hurt me. They did. And they continue to do it. Sh*t. My house just got swatted yesterday," Director Patel told Rogan. "It's the ultimate height of hypocrisy. They have two sets of rules. One against you, and one for them."

Brazen is correct.
Not a smart move.
I did a Babylon Bee Check.
The Swatter didn’t kill himself.
It’s long overdue for these incidents to be taken more seriously and pursued and prosecuted aggressively.
Safeguards should have long be in place to control police responses to anonymous or unverified reports.
Swatting is attempted murder. The penalty should be severe.
Not fair, and probably not correct, but this kind of incident makes Patel look helpless and clueless.
If he doesn’t strike back quick and hard, it’s going to erode his credibility in the eyes of the public.
Once again, do the phony calls have to bring the SWAT teams against someone?
Can’t the authorities think it through? Or is their excuse that the fire trucks have to come out even if it was a prank by a bratty boy?
Like mothers say——
What if someone called and told the SWAT operator to have all the team members jump off a bridge? Would they do it?
Maybe they would.
“Brazen is correct.”
Yes, brazen, especially in this age of traceable coms, but what are the authorities going to do? Nothing.
Even when our side has the ball, we don’t ever move it downfield.
If I was the FBI director- I would be embarrassed to admit I’d been swatted.
How would they get by his security detail?
What is up with having so many Half-Baked Police responding so wildly from an anonymous, untraced call about an extreme situation that is not confirmed before a likely “No-Knock” destruction of doors and windows, on innocent people? These same home owners should be completely in their rights to kill every dang intruder that then enters, without fear of being killed themselves from the “Police Gang” that violently came in.
This country respects foreign prank callers as “authoritative,” while believing a US citizen with no priors is the real security threat—in their own dang HOME.
THIS MUST STOP!!!
Patel is the Rodney Dangerfield of FBI Directors.
At all.
Let’s make it 50-100 years instead.
They never trace these anonymous prank calls.
Why should any police department start, now? It would only keep them from terrorizing and killing innocent home owners.
Makes it a bit too fishy for me to believe. Swatting the FBI Director? Lol. C'mon, now.
No anonymous, untraceable call should be believed.
That is the problem with all these Half-Baked Police SWAT occasions.
They believe a foreign prank caller over a benign home owner that is not talking with them.
If prank calls were taken more seriously, SWAT teams could not terrorize innocents and even kill a few, for fun.
Why would you deny those on the Thin Blue Line from killing innocents and getting away with it?
