FBI Director Patel: ‘My House Just Got Swatted Yesterday’

Joe Rogan released a new podcast featuring FBI Director Kash Patel today. At one point in the discussion Patel revealed that his house “just got swatted yesterday.”

What on earth?! FBI Director Kash Patel tells Joe Rogan that his house just got swatted:

PATEL: “My house just got swatted yesterday.”

JOE ROGAN: “The head of the FBI gets swatted?”

These comments came about 30 minutes into the two-hour interview at the end of a long discussion of Russiagate. Patel didn’t say he was blaming the swatting on anyone in particular but the implication was that this was one part of a larger campaign of harassment that has been directed his way because he has turned over documents about Russiagate to congress. 

In this clip, Patel summarizes Russiagate and implicates the media in insulating the people involved from consequences.

Here’s another bit of the conversation focused on Bruce and Nellie Ohr.

The interview opened with a discussion of fentanyl and how Patel’s FBI is involved in a worldwide effort to stop the flow of fentanyl into the US. He squarely blames the problem on the CCP because China produces nearly all of the precursor chemicals used by drug cartels to produce fentanyl. He notes that the companies involved aren’t making big money off this trade. Instead he sees this as a direct effort by China to kneecap the US by killing off a whole generation of US young people.

JUST IN: FBI Director Kash Patel lights up a cigar after explaining how he’s taking on the Chinese Communist Party to end the Fentanyl crisis.

The interview was recorded yesterday while Trump and Musk were tweeting at each other. At one point Joe’s producer brought up Elon’s tweet about Trump being in the Epstein files and, as you’ll see, Patel backed away from that whole thing as quickly as possible.

ROGAN: “Does @elonmusk know that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files? Does he have access to the Epstein files?”

KASH: “I don’t know how he would, but I’m just staying out of the Trump / Elon thing. That’s way outside my lane. I know my lane, and that ain’t it.” pic.twitter.com/jHwaSbY7qy

More generally, Patel said that he had proof that Epstein killed himself and that video would be released to the public.

KASH PATEL: “We’ve reviewed all the information, and the American public is going to get as much as we can release. [Epstein] killed himself.” pic.twitter.com/C6tmSii3GA

There’s a lot more in the full discussion, some of which I haven’t even gotten to yet. I’m going to keep listening for the promised update on the lab leak theory which seems to be in the later half of this. Here’s the full interview.
