In a compelling appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience (Episode #2330), U2 frontman Bono engaged in a wide-ranging discussion that spanned his musical journey, activism, and critiques of contemporary political figures. The episode, released on May 30, 2025, delved into the humanitarian consequences of recent budget cuts at the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Bono attributed to Elon Musk’s influence.
Bono highlighted a study estimating over 300,000 global deaths resulting from the elimination of personnel responsible for distributing humanitarian aid. He described the situation as potentially “evil,” emphasizing the dire impact on children and vulnerable populations. Bono also recounted his direct appeals to Secretary of State and interim USAID administrator Marco Rubio, who remained skeptical despite evidence presented.
Throughout the three-hour conversation, Bono and Rogan found common ground on the importance of responsible governance and the ethical implications of policy decisions. They discussed the broader role of the United States in global humanitarian efforts and the need for accountability in leadership. This episode marked a significant intersection of music, activism, and political discourse, offering listeners an in-depth perspective on pressing global issues.
