‘Crazy Sh*t’: Joe Rogan Defends Trump, Musk For Disbanding USAID Amid Dem Backlash

Podcast host Joe Rogan justified President Donald Trump and Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE) chair Elon Musk’s decision to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) on his show Thursday over its wasteful spending on left-wing causes.

Democrats have screeched over Trump and Musk’s decision to close the agency by threatening to conduct a “hostile takeover” by setting “fire” to the Republican Party. Rogan argued that the agency has poured billions of dollars into “crazy sh*t,” particularly left-wing and LGBTQ causes overseas, and called out the left-wing media for failing to mention these details.

“I don’t think I really grasped it until Elon’s six wizards, they brought in some young wizards to go in there and go in the books and they are just finding crazy sh*t!” Rogan said. “It’s crazy and it’s so interesting, I was listening to a left-wing podcast today — I like to mix it up, you know, I listen to all kinds of different stuff and it was like I was listening to a different world — they weren’t even talking about all this corruption and all this obvious buying of influence. Instead, they were talking about aid overseas and how people are gonna starve.”

The notable podcaster criticized the left-wing media for “ignoring” the details of what USAID is spending money on and only focus on the good causes the agency had aided.

“It’s very strange that the media’s ignoring it, especially the left-wing media,” Rogan continued. “It’s just too much of a win for the right, and so they’re just ignoring it and then they’re just highlighting the good things that USAID did, which I’m sure they probably did. Probably had to do some good things to at least justify its existence.”
