Joe Rogan, Theo Von Criticize Military Action in Iran: ‘Stand in Front of the F**king Mirror’

Podcasters Joe Rogan and Theo Von, who both hosted President Trump during the 2024 election, have strongly criticized military action in Iran.

Appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience, comedian Theo Von pontificated on the military operation and its eventual outcome.

“What do you think is gonna happen?” Von asked Rogan. “Do you think we’re gonna be OK?”

“I hope so, of course. I don’t know,” Rogan responded. “I’m confused. I can’t believe we went into this war. When we started bombing Iran, I was like, ‘This can’t be true.’”

Permission for Soleimani Family Members to Be in U.S. Canceled, Deportations Ordered

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has canceled the permission granted to several members of Qasem Soleimani’s family to live in the United States, and they are in custody pending deportation flights.

Soleimani was among the top officials of the Islamic regime until he was eliminated on the orders of President Donald Trump during his first term.

Now Rubio has issued a statement that his family members are being removed.

“Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the ‘Great Satan.’ This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter’s legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes,” he said.

Ex-NATO Ambassador warns US and Allies Must ‘Stop the Sniping’ and Unite to End Iran Conflict

Former U.S. Amb. to NATO Kurt Volker warned the United States and its allies must “stop the sniping” and come together to end the conflict with Iran during a Saturday interview on Fox News.

Volker appeared on “Fox News Live” to discuss the Trump administration’s comments about reevaluating its relationship with NATO.

“I think this is completely wrong,” Volker told Fox News anchor Aishah Hasnie of the friction with NATO.

“We did not inform allies. We did not consult with allies. We did not set up a clear goal, a common operation. We didn’t ask them. So, this went off the rails from the very beginning.”

Operation Epic Fury has strained some relationships between the United States and its allies. Spain and other allies have denied the use of jointly operated bases for these operations. The United Kingdom also granted limited use of its bases for strict defensive purposes.

Trump Says Regime’s Military Brass ‘Terminated’ in Strikes, Releases Explosion Video

President Donald Trump said multiple Iranian military leaders were “terminated” in a strike on Tehran, sharing video of what may have been the attack on Truth Social.

“Many of Iran’s Military Leaders, who have led them poorly and unwisely, are terminated, along with much else, with this massive strike in Tehran!” Trump wrote.

The post included footage appearing to show explosions in the Iranian capital, though details on the specific targets and casualties were not independently confirmed by Fox News Digital.

The claim comes amid a broader escalation in the conflict, with U.S. and Israeli strikes expanding across Iran and pressure mounting on Tehran to reach a deal or reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Congress Demands Dept of War Release 46 Secret UFO Videos: ‘You’re gonna see some weird f–king s–t’

Members of Congress are demanding 46 military videos from the Department of War which insiders say offer convincing proof that advanced, non-human craft are operating on Earth.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) requested the long list of explosively titled files on Wednesday, which include 45 previously unreleased military clips.

The presence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena “in and around the sensitive airspaces of US military installations poses a threat to the security of the armed forces and their readiness,” according to the April 1 letter addressed to Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Those with knowledge of the long list of videos — which include titles like “Several UAP in vicinity of Columbus OH airport” and “UFOs in formation over Persian Gulf” — said the clips are shocking.

“You’re gonna see some weird f–king s–t,” a source who has viewed the videos told The Post.

The wildest clips include radar footage from thermal sensors, satellite images, and underwater photos of swarms of Unidentified Submerged Objects, the insider said. (Read more from “Congress Demands Dept of War Release 46 Secret UFO Videos: ‘You’re gonna see some weird f–king s–t’” HERE)

Artemis II Astronauts Report Burning Smell from Malfunctioning $23M Toilet

Astronauts on board Artemis II reported a mysterious burning smell coming from the $23 million advanced toilet system which previously malfunctioned after takeoff.

“Regarding the smell, I just wanted to make sure you all were tracking the EGS notes of the kind of burning heater smell that was coming from toilet several times,” astronaut Chrisna Koch, who fixed the toilet on Thursday, radioed to mission control on Saturday, Space.com reported.

“It was never identified as the source, what it exactly was, but it was identified as an unknown smell,” Koch said.

The four moon-bound passengers reported the smell was similar to the scent of an old electric heater that hasn’t been used in a while, the report stated. (Read more from “Artemis II Astronauts Report Burning Smell from Malfunctioning $23M Toilet” HERE)

Inside the Insane Rescue of Two Americans Dying From Ebola in Africa

. . .It was July 2014, and two Americans were dying of Ebola in Liberia, the epicenter of the deadliest outbreak of the virus in human history. Dr. Kent Brantly and medical volunteer Nancy Writebol had contracted the disease while treating patients at ELWA Hospital in Monrovia.

The US government wanted to bring them home, but “no one else on Earth (literally, they’d tried) would or even could get them home,” writes journalist and former paramedic Kevin Hazzard in his new book “No One’s Coming: The Rogue Heroes Our Government Turns to When There’s Nowhere Else to Turn” (Grand Central Publishing, out now).

No one was up for what seemed like an impossible, and impossibly dangerous, mission: Evacuating two Ebola patients from West Africa without infecting the crew with the terrible virus.

“It’s deadly and contagious and absolutely horrifying,” writes Hazzard. “You liquify from the inside and then watch as the life drips out of you.”

William Walters, a State Department official running an obscure organization called Operational Medicine, made a call to Dent Thompson, co-owner of Phoenix Air, a small aviation company in Cartersville, Georgia.

The company is known for saying yes when everyone else says no. In the run-up to Operation Desert Storm, they flew 83 Patriot missile warheads out of Dover Air Force Base to Saudi Arabia. (Read more from “Inside the Insane Rescue of Two Americans Dying From Ebola in Africa” HERE)

‘Time Is Running Out’: Trump Warns Iran To Open Strait Of Hormuz Within 48 Hours

President Donald Trump gave Iran a final warning on Saturday to open the Strait of Hormuz or else “all Hell will reign down on them.”

“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social.

This warning comes just days after the national average for a gallon of gas peaked over $4 per gallon — the highest since 2022 during the Covid-19 pandemic. Crude oil has also jumped to over $100 per barrel compared to around $70 prior to the beginning of the war.

Movement through the Strait is down more than 90% compared to March, according to the Economic Times. Although it is not fully closed, ship movement through this critical chokepoint has become heavily monitored and restricted.

Conflict In Iran Forces Airline To Hike Checked Baggage Fees

Travelers flying United Airlines will pay more to check their luggage starting Friday as surging fuel costs from the war in Iran ripple through the airline industry.

The carrier announced a $10 increase on first and second checked bags for tickets purchased on or after April 3, affecting routes within the U.S., Mexico, Canada and Latin America, according to CNBC. A first bag now runs $45 if paid in advance and $50 within 24 hours of departure. Second bags climb to $55 prepaid or $60 at the last minute. Third bags jumped $50, bringing the total to $200.

United is the second domestic carrier to raise baggage prices in under a week. JetBlue bumped its fees by as much as $9 on March 30, telling the Associated Press that charging more for optional add-ons helps keep base ticket prices competitive.

The fee increases come as jet fuel prices have nearly doubled since Operation Epic Fury began on Feb. 28. The average gallon of jet fuel across four major U.S. hubs reached $4.88 on Thursday, up from $2.50 before the conflict, according to data from energy intelligence firm Argus Media cited by CNBC. United does not hedge its fuel costs, leaving it fully exposed to volatile spot prices, according to AeroTime.

Israel First Has Severed MAGA

In July of 2023, long before it became clear that Israel would become a defining topic of MAGA 2.0 and the Trump presidency, Tucker Carlson gave a speech at a Turning Point USA event when it was still uncontroversial for him to be there.

“What are the crimes that are punished?” Carlson asked the crowd. “Thought crimes. Thinking the ‘wrong’ thing. Having the ‘wrong’ beliefs. Saying unapproved words. And those words are always true.”

“How do you know what’s true? That’s a great question,” Carlson continued. “Who are the thought criminals and what are they saying?”

Tucker Carlson has certainly become the thought criminal he presciently described over two and a half years ago. And he’s perhaps committed the greatest sin of all in America: telling the truth when powerful people are not.

At the time of his speech, Oct. 7 hadn’t happened, Charlie Kirk was still alive and leading TPUSA, and Carlson had not yet campaigned alongside Donald Trump.

Fast forward to January 2025 and Trump — with the support of Carlson and a bipartisan coalition of other independent thinkers, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Marjorie Taylor Greene — arrived back at the White House with truly a once in a generation opportunity and the political capital to do the radically unthinkable in Washington: focus on America and the problems that ail us here.
