JD Vance’s Warning to Israel, the Last Desperate Move of Is… · Jun 25, 2026 News

Israel sent a cruise missile into a building in Doha during peace talks — under diplomatic cover — killing a Qatari security agent, missing Hamas leadership, and becoming the first Israeli state to strike a GCC country.

The Post-American Middle East: Five New Powers and Israel's Isolation

At 58:00 · chapter starts 52:40

Weichert lays out the geopolitical architecture taking shape after the war. The Abraham Accords, once a genuine framework for Arab-Israeli normalization, are effectively dead. The new order will be defined by five powers: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan (with its nuclear umbrella), Egypt (the largest economy in Africa with possibly the strongest conventional military in the Muslim world), and Turkey (with its impressive indigenous defense industrial base, as evidenced by the Kaan fighter jet). Weichert cites former IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus's admission that Israel couldn't build an F-35 independently — while Turkey can. These five powers will form a new post-American axis, and Israel's position is the mirror image of what Iran's was before the war: isolated, pressured on all sides, with its only powerful ally now openly frustrated with it. Tucker and Weichert are both struck by the symmetry — all of Israel's ambitions have whipped around and become their opposites.

The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air. The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
