Music legend Kid Rock roasted Bruce Springsteen Thursday, then identified a possible contributing cause of America's low fertility rate. Fox News' Jesse Watters confronted Rock with footage from Springsteen's Wednesday concert in Manchester, England, where the "Born in the U.S.A." singer badmouthed the Trump administration and the president. "The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock 'n' roll in dangerous times," said Springsteen. "In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about — that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years — is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration." The geriatric rocker, whose preferred candidate for president lost in an electoral landslide last year, urged his foreign audience to "rise with us" against "authoritarianism, and let freedom ring." Springsteen kept complaining and lecturing his audience over the course of his performance, declaring, for instance, that "they're rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just and plural society," and "they're abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom," reported CBS News. When speaking with Watters about a sample of Springsteen's polemics, Rock expressed doubt over whether the liberal musician would similarly slam the president at a show stateside and questioned his relative quality. 'Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics.' "Let's break it down. Pound for pound, when it comes to heartland rock and roll, Bruce Springsteen's made some good songs, I'll give him that. Bob Seger smokes him any day of the week in my book," said Rock. "Bruce Springsteen is another one of these liberals who has mountains of money that so desperately wants to keep his good standing in the eyes of Hollywood and the elite but plays like this working-class guy." "His politics are so ass-backwards — just stay in Europe, Bruce," added Rock. Watters quipped, "Maybe 'The Boss' should go by 'The Employee' next time." President Donald Trump exercised less restraint than Rock in his response to the liberal performer's rant. "I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country." 'It all made sense.' Toward the end of his message, the president leaned harder into his insults, writing, "Springsteen is 'dumb as a rock'" — a "dried out 'prune' of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) [who] ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country." Later in the segment, Watters pressed Rock on the kinds of people he sees at his concerts, asking specifically, "Do you ever see anybody with blue hair, armpit hair — female armpit hair?"

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed in a report last month that the fertility rate, only slightly higher than the record-low set in 2023, now sits at 1.6 births per woman over her lifetime. By way of contrast, in 1960, the U.S. rate was 3.7. The rate necessary for a population to maintain stability and replenish itself without requiring replacement by foreign nationals is 2.1. "It just hit me right now because who's going to sleep with these ugly ass, broke, crazy, deranged, [Trump derangement syndrome], liberal women?" continued Rock. "I mean, you look at these rallies, it's like a bunch of women that no guy wants to sleep with and a bunch of dudes that want to sleep with each other." Rock recently sat down with Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck for a wide-ranging nearly hour-long conversation touching various topics including Cybertrucks, Diddy, problems with Ticketmaster, and the ways that Gen X may save us all from the "pussification of America."

Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Kash Patel said he was shutting down the bureau's offices in Washington, D.C., and relocating 1,500 FBI employees to other offices. Patel made the announcement during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on the "Sunday Morning Futures" show. He explained in a released preview video that having so much of the bureau's workforce in the capital did not make sense. 'When we do things like that, we inspire folks in America to become intel analysts and agents and say we want to work at the FBI because we want to fight violent crime.' “This FBI is leaving the Hoover Building because this building is unsafe for our workforce,” said Patel. The iconic headquarters of the FBI was first proposed in 1939, but the construction and approval were delayed for many decades. The first employees moved to the completed building in 1974 and the last employees moved in 1977. President Richard Nixon named the building after J. Edgar Hoover, the first director of the FBI, after his death in 1970. "The FBI is 38,000 when we are fully manned, which we are not. In the national capital region in the 50-mile radius around Washington, D.C., there were 11,000 FBI employees. That’s like a third of the workforce. A third of the crime doesn’t happen here," Patel concluded. "So we are taking 1,500 of those folks and moving them out. Every state is getting a plus-up," he added. "And I think when we do things like that, we inspire folks in America to become intel analysts and agents and say, 'We want to work at the FBI because we want to fight violent crime, and we want to be sent out into the country to do it.'"He said that he hadn't planned on making the announcement on the show and added that the move would be implemented over the next three to nine months. "We want the American men and women to know if you’re going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world," Patel concluded, "we’re going to give you a building that’s commensurate with that, and that’s not this place."RELATED: DHS, FBI investigating deleted seashell post from former FBI Director James Comey appearing to threaten Trump Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser with President Donald Trump. Photo by Annabelle Gordon for the Washington Post via Getty Images D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser issued a statement maintaining that it was important to keep the FBI in the capital. “Having the FBI headquarters in our nation’s capital and near the Department of Justice keeps America safer," said Bowser. "The District and our region have many sites where the FBI can fulfill their mission in safe, modern, and secure facilities, and we are ready to help them find both temporary leases and a permanent home,” she added. “A safe and beautiful D.C. requires a committed federal partner that will keep our nation’s capital a symbol of American strength.”Video of Patel's announcement can be viewed below.
