Bari Weiss in a Bunker: CBS's Slow Demolition

#2518 - Tim Dillon · Jun 24, 2026 News

Bari Weiss reportedly runs CBS News from a militarised 6th-floor bunker surrounded by guards, while a CBS Evening News anchor cries on air about his drug-dealer father. Meanwhile, a senior anchor was fired for refusing to insert falsehoods into a news story. The institution isn't being reformed — it's being deliberately demolished.

Where this was said

UFO Disclosure, Jimmy Carter, and the Book of Enoch

At 2:08:00 · chapter starts 2:04:30

Rogan raises the pastoral briefings story: the government reportedly gathered pastors to brief them on disclosure because the revelations would be so destabilising. The supposed content — that religion was created by aliens to manage primitive humans — leads both hosts to wish Trump would just say it in a press conference. The Jimmy Carter angle adds texture: Carter reportedly demanded disclosure after his 1969 UFO sighting, was briefed, and wept openly. Richard Dolan is cited as the most credible UFO researcher. Then Dillon pivots to the Book of Enoch — found alongside the Book of Isaiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls but excluded from the Bible because rabbis felt it contradicted the Torah. Its contents describe the Watchers, angelic beings who chose human wives and bred the Nephilim giants, in terms Dillon calls 'fucking bananas.' The Book of Isaiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls was verbatim identical to copies 1,000 years newer, demonstrating extraordinary textual fidelity.

The White House UFC Card: MAGA's Senior Prom

#2518 - Tim Dillon · Jun 24, 2026

The White House UFC event was the only card in UFC history where every fight ended by knockout. Then a fighter grabbed the mic and screamed that Michelle Obama is a man. Tim Dillon calls it the clock striking midnight: MAGA's peak and its ending, all in one spectacular, insane moment.

The Iran War: Hard to Call It a Victory

#2518 - Tim Dillon · Jun 24, 2026 News

It is almost impossible to look at the Iran War and see a decisive victory, and nobody is being honest about that. Tim Dillon argues the conflict was pushed by a small group of neoconservative donors whose regional interests align with Israel, not the United States — and that Trump's legacy is now hostage to getting America out.

Religion & Spirituality
The Book of Enoch and the Nephilim

#2518 - Tim Dillon · Jun 24, 2026 Religion & Spirituality

The Book of Enoch was found in the same Dead Sea Scrolls cache as the Book of Isaiah — but was deliberately excluded from the Bible because rabbis decided it contradicted other texts. It describes the Watchers: angelic beings who came down, chose human wives, and bred a race of giants called the Nephilim who ruled the earth.

History
Jimmy Carter Wept After the UFO Briefing

#2518 - Tim Dillon · Jun 24, 2026 History

The story goes that Jimmy Carter, who had his own 1969 UFO sighting, demanded disclosure after taking office, was properly briefed — and wept openly. Researcher Richard Dolan treats this account seriously. Tim Dillon asks the obvious question: what information makes a president cry?

Why the Israel-Killed-Kirk Theory Doesn't Hold Up

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

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.
