FBI Director Patel: 'My House Just Got Swatted Yesterday'
John Sexton 5:00 PM | June 06, 2025

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."

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.

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.

I want to know how the police reacted when they showed up at his door?  Surely they knew who the FBI director is.

Patel is lucky he didn't get killed. Lots of other swatting victims get killed by hyped up cops who shoot before they think.

Saw this earlier. Did not believe it then and do not believe it now. I believe what he meant to say is that someone 'attempted' to swat him.

Does anyone think that the FBI Director does not have security who are constantly in reach of police? Police call Patel's security. Patel's security laugh. And nothing happens.

He said this to make some kind of point. However, I do not get it. Do not know what his point was?

He said his house got swatted, not that he (nor anyone else) was home.

Yeah, I wonder too. It was like he hated that he said it after he said it... Something is off.

Patel realizes that 1) it's too easy to send the cops on an assassination mission and 2) that someone is trying to assassinate him.
