Rogan: UFO file dump could be distraction from Iran war that’s ‘not going very well’

Joe Rogan said the release may distract from the Iran war as the Pentagon published the first round of files on Friday.

  • The Pentagon released the first tranche of UFO files on Friday following President Donald Trump's directive to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, making previously classified documents publicly available.
  • On Thursday, Podcaster Joe Rogan and Rep Tim Burchett discussed the release on The Joe Rogan Experience, with Rogan arguing the disclosure appears a 'cynical' distraction from the Iran war, which he said is 'not going well.'
  • Burchett disputed the distraction theory, telling Rogan that Trump 'genuinely sees that America needs to know this stuff,' though he cautioned people not to get too excited about unclassified findings.
  • Documents will be shared on a rolling basis 'in the interest of total transparency,' the Pentagon said, even as critics like Greene point to the Administration's failure to release Epstein files.
