The secrets that are coming out are surprising everyone.
Joe Rogan recently praised Elon Musk’s newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for its ongoing efforts to uncover waste and corruption within the U.S. government. On his popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan discussed how DOGE has been exposing questionable practices in federal agencies, including the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). This agency, which oversees billions in taxpayer-funded projects, has allegedly been guilty of mismanaging funds, including a $1.5 million program to promote “diversity, equity, and inclusion” in Serbia’s business sector and a $70,000 initiative to create a “DEI musical” in Ireland.
Rogan highlighted that the USAID, which has a budget of around $40 billion, was effectively shut down by former President Donald Trump as part of a broader review of government programs. Trump’s administration is focusing on reducing waste and reforming inefficient departments, a move Rogan supports. He commended Trump’s “business approach” to governance, emphasizing the importance of applying sound business principles to the running of the country. “What’s fascinating right now is we’re seeing what happens when you take a business approach to the government in the White House,” Rogan said, praising the Trump administration for revealing widespread corruption and waste.
Rogan contrasted the current situation with the usual political establishment’s tendency to ignore systemic problems in favor of incremental changes to appease voters. He noted that Trump, no longer concerned with re-election, is taking bold steps to overhaul the system, even if it means upsetting the entrenched bureaucracy. For Rogan, this approach is refreshing because it acknowledges that the government needs rigorous oversight, something it has lacked for far too long.
While some Democrats argue that USAID plays a crucial role in U.S. national security, Rogan remains focused on rooting out the waste that plagues the agency. He expressed hope that DOGE’s work will inspire greater accountability and encourage the public to demand that taxpayer money be spent more responsibly. “We can’t just be throwing our tax dollars away on nonsense,” he said, adding that the goal is to shift the culture toward a results-driven government.
Rogan also called out the media, particularly left-wing outlets, for downplaying the revelations of government corruption uncovered by DOGE. He suggested that the media’s refusal to cover the issue might be due to its potential to bolster conservative talking points. In his view, exposing this waste and fraud is a victory for the American people and for the political right, and he hopes the message resonates with a broader audience. “It’s crazy what they’re finding,” Rogan remarked, expressing optimism that the push for transparency will continue to gain momentum.
In the end, Rogan’s support for DOGE and its mission to hold government agencies accountable is clear. By prioritizing oversight, he believes the U.S. can move toward a more efficient, transparent government that works for the people.
