Bondi vs Patel

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...

Kash Patel Tells Joe That Epstein Killed Himself On YouTube

U2 frontman Bono claimed on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast the Trump administration’s disbandment of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) was responsible for some 300,000 associated deaths. Host Rogan and Elon Musk were quick to disabuse the Irish singer of his mass-casualty claim. “This will f— you off,” Bono warned, claiming tens of thousands of tons of food are “rotting” in warehouses from Djibouti to Houston because of recent USAID cuts and those running the warehouses have been let go, as FOX News writer Jasmine Baehr reported. “What is that? That’s not America, is it?” Rogan responded. “They’re...

U2 frontman Bono on Thursday called for Israel to dump Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while urging freedom for the Hamas terrorist group’s hostages and an end to the war in Gaza. He revealed his list of geo-political demands on accepting an award in London, England, adding Israel would be best advised to act, and “be released from the far-right fundamentalists that twist your sacred texts.” Bono’s words of advice to Israel came 48-hours after he attacked the Trump administration for cuts to USAID: U2 were present at the 2025 Ivor Novello songwriting awards ceremony to receive the Fellowship of the...

CANNES, France (AP) — Cannes is a short trip from Bono’s seaside villa in Eze-sur-Mer. He bought it with The Edge in 1993, and considers himself grateful to a coastline that, he says, gave him a “delayed adolescence.” “I can tell you I’ve slept on beaches close to here,” Bono says with a grin. “I’ve woken up in the sun.” But that doesn’t mean the Cannes Film Festival is a particularly familiar experience for the U2 frontman. He’s here to premiere the Apple TV+ documentary “Bono: Stories of Surrender,” which captures his one-man stage show. Before coming, Bono’s daughter, the...

U2 frontman Bono dedicated the song “All I Want Is You” to First Lady Jill Biden while wrapping up the band’s inaugural residency at Las Vegas’ $2.3 billion Sphere arena over the weekend. Before performing the band’s 1988 hit, “All I Want Is You,” Bono said that he was dedicating the song to “one woman in particular,” which was Jill Biden. SOME NEWS: Bono takes U2 on a break from Achtung Baby to perform “All I Want is You” and dedicates song to all women in world, on their crew, women experiencing hardship in world. Then he dedicates it to...

Joe Rogan just had Bono on his podcast, and Bono, who famously poses as the great White Irish savior of the Third World, stated that America’s USAID cuts have already killed 300,000 people. Well, that’s a lot of people. Rogan pointed out that USAID is a giant money laundering scam, and a lot of other people have been either asking where all these 300,000 dead people are or wondering why Bono – who’s rich beyond measure thanks to the bad taste of so many people – doesn’t get his checkbook out and start scribbling. No evidence supports his ridiculous claim,...

Joe Rogan defended Kanye West’s latest song, titled “Heil Hitler,” on his podcast Tuesday and echoed the song’s antisemitic stereotypes. West, who now goes by “Ye,” released the track last week, in which he sings the chorus, ““All my n—s Nazis, n—a, heil Hitler.” It’s the latest in Ye’s long stream of blatantly antisemitic comments and actions. Since its release, it has attracted both harsh criticism as well as some support from conspiracy-minded figures. The chorus of praise also includes Rogan, one of the country’s most popular podcasters, who spoke up for the track’s music as well as its message....

Podcaster Joe Rogan and comedian Tim Dillon slammed CNN over the network’s biased personalities and its misunderstanding of the podcast world. Dillon was recently interviewed by CNN and told Rogan it was an interesting experience that helped him learn about the media. “Their whole thing now is that podcasters are the most powerful people in the world,” Dillon said, later claiming the CNN interviewer was surprised that he appeared for the interview at all. “She goes, ‘I can’t believe you would show up. People have said that they can’t come on because Joe Rogan would get mad at them’ and...

Joe Rogan has given his take on Cain Velasquez’s recent five-year sentence. The former UFC Heavyweight Champion is doing time after his no contest for attempted murder. He was also facing charges that involved assault with a deadly weapon and discharging a firearm from a vehicle. This followed after his 2022 arrest when he fired shots at a vehicle that had Harry Goularte. The latter had reportedly sexually abusex Cain’s son during his time at a daycare that was owned by Goularte’s mother. The bullets struck Goularte’s stepfather, Paul Bender. Paul, however, did not go through any life-threatening injuries. Velasquez’s...

With guests like Ian Carroll, Darryl Cooper and a major vax denalist, the world's biggest podcaster is slowly moving from conspiracy-curious to a launderer of antisemitic and anti-scientific ideas right before our eyes.Did Douglas Murray’s arrow hit the bullseye? And more important, does it matter? To anyone watching with growing alarm as Joe Rogan in recent weeks has platformed Darryl Cooper and Ian Carroll — both Carroll and Cooper have been accused of disseminating antisemitic ideas — as well as anti-vax flame-throwers like Suzanne Humphries, a sitdown with the British neoconservative thinker Murray last week was just the Robin Hood...

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Democrats shouldn’t look for their version of podcaster Joe Rogan and instead should find other meaningful ways to connect with voters. The former White House official touted his visions for the future of the party’s appeal during a recent appearance on “The Weekly Show with John Stewart.” “My party’s all up in arms about who’s our Joe Rogan. We’re not going to have a Joe Rogan of the left. That’s not how it works,” he said. Rogan has developed a platform as a conversationalist and influencer through frequent freeform interviews promoted across social platforms....

President Donald Trump entered UFC 314 on Saturday night in Miami on Saturday night. President Trump walked out flanked by his two grandchildren at his side. He was followed by Dana White, Elon Musk, gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds, and several more. Before President Trump reached his seats he greeted DNI Tulsi Gabbard, FBI Director Kash Patel, HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr….. But NOT his wife Cheryl Hines who he skipped over. Ouch!

CNN vehemently rejected a conspiracy theory that has taken hold on the Right — which suggests that the network somehow had advance knowledge of the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life. The theory has been making the rounds following Joe Rogan’s podcast with Elon Musk — which was posted on Friday . In a clip from the podcast being widely circulated, Rogan seemed to suggest that because CNN broadcast the rally, it knew about the assassination attempt beforehand. “You also know that CNN streamed it live, which I do not believe they did for any other rally — and certainly...

Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapital 🚨JOE ROGAN: "The (Deep State) cant conspire right now because their phones are tapped. The power that the Government has to look into people's emails, their phones, their texts, their signal, their everything -- the idea that they're not doing that if they're not in the middle of a trillion dollar fraud investigation is ridiculous. They also have to worry about people taking deals. There'll be some people that squeal. So you don't know who's your enemy and who's your friend and you go to lunch with someone and they're wearing some button camera and now...

Joe Rogan knocked Democrats in a recent podcast episode, accusing the party of failing to connect with voters even after President Trump’s victory last fall. “They’re not course correcting at all. Ya know, they’re saying stupid s‑‑‑. It’s all nonsense,” Rogan said. “Their understanding of social media and the dynamics that you set up by having completely state-controlled mainstream media where they only said the narratives that you guys wanted,” he added. “They all said it in step so you could watch different programs repeat the exact same words, exact same phrases.”

Podcast host Joe Rogan cheered on President Trump and Elon Musk’s “business approach” to cutting government spending through the mission at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). On Thursday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the podcaster praised DOGE for its attempt to rein in federal spending, even as the moves are viewed as controversial by many. “What’s fascinating right now is we’re getting a chance to see what happens when you take a business approach to the government,” Rogan said. He argued that the Trump administration and DOGE have uncovered “massive amounts” of “corruption and waste,” in addition to...

Joe Rogan said former Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign “lied” about him not making time for her to appear on The Joe Rogan Experience, saying her staffers never committed to his show, and even lied about sending someone to his studio for a walk-through. Rogan added that he believes the false statements were made simply because someone on Harris’s staff is “trying to cover their ass for the fact that she never did it.” On a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the podcast host cited a book that recently came out “about the Kamala Harris campaign, where they...
