Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged Wednesday that he threatened to “kick ass” during a heated confrontation last year, while firmly denying reports that he threatened to punch the now-acting Director of National Intelligence “in the face.”

The unusual exchange emerged during a Senate Finance Committee hearing, where Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) pressed Bessent about reports surrounding a confrontation between the two Trump administration officials during the summer of 2025.

According to Bessent, one key detail in the widely circulated account was inaccurate.

While he denied threatening.

Joe Rogan and his employer, Spotify, have responded to a growing backlash over the former’s opinion about COVID-19 vaccines.

Though he defended himself and guests like Dr. Robert Malone, Rogan promised to “try harder” in providing a more balanced debate when discussing the coronavirus.

Rogan’s announcement came after Spotify revealed it would add a content advisory warning to any episode on Rogan’s podcast discussing the pandemic.

Rogan, the world’s most successful podcaster, signed a $100 million deal with Spotify in 2020. Reports suggest that the streaming service giant lost between $2 and $4 billion after Neil Young pulled his music from the platform in protest of Rogan’s views.

Other celebrities had begun denouncing Rogan as well.

Rogan’s entire nine-minute response to the controversy is available to watch here.

    All of my Neil Young garbage went where it belongs, in the trash! Harry has proven many times that he does not have enough common sense to get out of the way so why would anyone give a damn what he thinks or says! It is indeed a sad state of affairs when worthless, leftist a-hokes such as these can cause such a dust up over people telling the truth! To hell with Spotify and Neil Young! I will forever encourage everyone I know to boycott that no-talent bum and destroy anything with his name on it that they might already have in protest to his leftist hypocrisy!

    Thank God Joe Rogan is willing to ask correct questions and listen to good information. Good for Spotify to lose a woke individual who is too arrogant to listen to alternative and likely correct views.

    This is garbage! I don’t listen to Joe Rogan, but I do listen to Drs Malone. McCullough, Bhattacharya, Kulldorf, et al, who are questioning Fauci, Collins, CDC, WHO, FDA and all the others who have conflicts of interest with Big Pharma and push vaccinations instead of treatments. I guess Spotify would place trigger warnings on anything that uber-liberal RFK,Jr says about all of this in his book, “The Real Anthony Fauci.”
    Spotify should let their users evaluate all the info out there, without putting their thumb on the scale.

    Neil Young sings like a rusty hinge anyway! He’s just trying to remain relevant! Go back to Canada geezer, and sing to your moose population! They’re the only ones listening.
