In this episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, Joe interviews Kash Patel, who discusses his role as head of the FBI and the changes he's implemented, including reallocating agents to field offices to address issues like drug overdoses and child exploitation. Patel attributes the fentanyl crisis to precursors from China and outlines efforts to combat it through international cooperation and targeting precursor companies. The conversation shifts to Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, and January 6th, with Patel asserting a coordinated effort to weaponize government for political purposes and sharing his commitment to exposing the truth and restoring trust in the FBI. He addresses the Epstein case, the challenges of AI, and the importance of focusing on national security priorities, such as agroterrorism and securing the border, while criticizing past administrations for prioritizing DEI and climate change over national security.
