dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright people, I'm starting a minute early.
		That's right, I'm cutting off Kamala Harris, which means I'm gonna get a very condescending look, an evil cackle, and some sort of very smug comment about cutting her off.
		Nobody cuts off Kamala Harris.
		Nobody puts baby in a corner.
unidentified		Ugh!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, I watched.
		Did you watch?
		Pretty much my predictions from this morning all came true.
		Uh, what I said was basically that Mike Pence just has to make sure he doesn't fall out of his seat and he was going to win.
		So, uh, that's all he did.
		And, and in effect, he won, um, Kamala Harris.
		Oh, wait a minute before I go too deep.
		I'm doing this with whiskey.
		I hope you're doing it with a drink of choice.
		I do have the storm trooper ice cube.
		Once again, people were really into the Stormtrooper ice cube.
		I can't really explain, it's a mold, like people were saying, how do you make a Stormtrooper ice cube?
		It's hard to explain how it actually works.
		It's kind of rubber and it's sort of like, you gotta like push it out with your thumb.
		It's a real situation.
		But anyway, here, take a drink with me because God knows if you watch that thing, you deserve it.
		My God.
		It's a little Johnny Walker Black label, by the way.
		People are asking what kind of whiskey I was drinking.
		All right.
		I'm going to try to plow through that thing.
		We'll do about a half hour here.
		Then I'm jumping on with the fine folks at The Blaze in a little bit.
		But my predictions this morning basically were right and not that surprising.
		Pence just had to not fall out of his chair.
		He just had to seem presidential, vice presidential,
		he had to basically know what he's talking about.
		He basically had to show that if something happened, that he could steer the ship.
		And that for anyone that is nervous about Trump's temperament or the way he tweets or coronavirus
		or the fact that he's 74 and overweight and whatever, that if Pence had to be president, in effect, he could do
unidentified		it.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I think it's fairly obvious that he can.
		I'll get to the issues in a minute.
		I'm going to do the broad stuff first.
		So it's pretty obvious that he can, right?
		Of course, the entire debate probably was sidetracked by the minute and a half where a fly was on his hair towards the end.
		I'm sure many of you saw that.
		And for after about a minute, it started appearing to be a dead fly.
		But it actually was a living fly and it did fly off his head, which, you know, and I say this with all due respect, you know, Pence He's got obviously got a lot of spray in that hair.
		It's not the most exciting haircut.
		It's right.
		It's a very, it's a very, you know, I'm Mike Pence haircut, but you're putting a lot of spray in that thing for one of these things.
		And I'm not a guy that's going to sit here and pretend there's no hairspray in here.
		Okay.
		I got, there's a lot, I could lose my hand.
		If I touch this thing, that's it.
		I do the rest of the thing like this.
		But I really thought that the fly was actually just going to be stuck in the hairspray.
		So thankfully the fly did.
		Fly away.
		So that that could have been a disaster.
		Of course, what's really unfortunate about the fly incident is that's going to overshadow what was happening at that moment where they started getting into some interesting stuff about race.
		And obviously, there's there's a whole bunch of contention over there.
		That's where Kamala then repeated the lie, the absolute lie.
		It is a lie, people.
		This very fine people thing that they keep saying Trump said after Charlottesville and he did say they were very fine people right after saying that he absolutely condemns the white nationalists and the neo-Nazis.
		He was saying there's very fine people on both sides, meaning you take them out and condemn them.
		But the argument of whether monuments and statues should stand in this case, they were talking about Robert E. Lee, that there are fine people on both sides and of course, That is the truth.
		Now, the media, please people, find me someone at CNN.
		Hey, Jake Tapper, this one goes out to you because you're the only one there with even the slightest shred of dignity at this point.
		Why am I?
		I'm not a journalist.
		I am some guy with some whiskey.
		Sitting in my office, and for some reason I have to tell more truth than you people are able to.
		You've destroyed your entire industry by your lies and your lies of omission.
		So Jake Tapper, if you're watching this, or Wolf Blitzer, or Don Lamon, or any of you people, Chris Cuomo, you angry steroided freak.
		Could any of you please just play the freaking clip and just debunk the lie?
		Because actually what you're doing is not only are you tearing down your own industry of journalism, you're actually helping getting Trump elected.
		Because the more and more people that see that the very premise of the Biden campaign, according to Joe Biden, the night he decided to get involved in the campaign was during Charlottesville because Donald Trump You know, he said the thing about very fine people, and that's when Biden decided to get involved.
		It's a lie.
		So the premise of the campaign is a lie.
		They all know it's a lie.
		That woman, Susan Page, who's the moderator tonight, who, by the way, is in the midst of writing a biography on Nancy Pelosi, so you wonder what side of the aisle is she on, right?
		The next moderator at the next presidential debate is a former Biden intern.
		I mean, you can't make this crap up.
unidentified		It's all fixed.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You get it?
		You're destroying your own industry, journalists.
		And the more that you destroy it, not only are you destroying ultimately your livelihood, because you're all going to lose your jobs, because no one's going to watch, everyone's going to tune out of your nonsensical bullshit.
		But even bigger than that, you're getting Donald Trump elected because the average person is finally, for at least as long as the rest of us can be on Twitter and everywhere else, the average person is able to see the truth.
		So Kamala knows.
		So really, I want to focus on this because think about this.
		Kamala knows and Joe Biden knows that they can go up there and they can flat out lie about something massive.
		This isn't a lie about, oh, There's something about this particular lie, because it's about race, that seems particularly pernicious.
		and the tax cuts and whatever.
		And you can say, and she also lied about the fracking.
		I mean, there's a million videos of Biden saying, "No new fracking, we're getting rid of fracking,
		"we're getting rid of fossil fuels."
		Okay, forget those lies.
		There's something about this particular lie, because it's about race, that seems particularly pernicious.
		It seems particularly invasive into the system.
		And why won't anyone track it?
		Why won't anyone dare tell the truth?
		And I think you know the answer, because these people are not journalists, they're activists, and in most cases, they're democratic activists.
		But think of the balls, think of the balls it takes for Biden to go up there and lie, right?
		And then for Kamala to go up there and lie.
		And Susan Page, do you not know it's a lie?
		Like, do you not know?
		And if you do not know, you are not qualified to moderate a debate.
		Oh, you people, you could really drive someone to drink.
		You know that?
		You awful humans.
		It's really, it's just, it's just incredibly annoying.
		All right.
		There was an interesting clip right up front where they're both, the question in effect was, Pence, you know, your guy is fat and 74 and had Corona.
		And, you know, Kamala, your guy's 77, will be 78 by January.
		And she didn't say dementia, but like we all know, that's like the subtext of the thing.
		And Pence just refused to answer the question, which at that point was fine because Kamala had been running all over him.
		But okay, so let's just, let me back up for a second.
		We're getting a little ahead of myself.
		The basic, if you wanna do the who won thing, Pence won, period.
		I don't think that's a partisan thing.
		I think even for someone like me that I, as I always describe myself as begrudgingly pro-choice, And the abortion thing is so difficult to talk about and no one's really honest.
		And, you know, the right makes it seem like the left hates babies and the left makes it seem like the right hates women.
		And these are nonsensical way of looking at these things.
		But I actually thought that Pence's answer when he basically like flat out, you know, said, you know, I'm very proud to be pro-life.
		That's a slight, you know, slight deviation of what he actually said.
		I actually thought the candor and clarity of it was kind of nice.
		Politicians don't clearly say whatever they're gonna say.
		For example, when Kamala was talking about packing the courts.
		So why don't we jump to that one?
		This is clip three, this is Kamala.
		Well, this is actually Pence calling out Kamala on whether she would pack the courts.
unidentified		I think the American people really deserve an answer, Senator Harris.
		Are you and Joe Biden gonna pack the court if Judge Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed?
		I mean, there have been 29 vacancies on the Supreme Court during presidential election years from George Washington to Barack Obama.
		Presidents have nominated in all 29 cases.
		But your party is actually openly advocating adding seats to the Supreme Court, which has had nine seats for 150 years.
		If you don't get your way, this is a classic case of if you can't win by the rules, you're going to change the rules.
		Now, you've refused to answer the question.
		Joe Biden has refused to answer the question.
		So I think the American people would really like to know.
		If Judge Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to the Supreme Court of the United States, are you and Joe Biden, if somehow you win this election, going to pack the Supreme Court to get your way?
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		I'm so glad we went through a little history lesson.
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		Let's do that a little more.
unidentified		In 1864... I'd like you to answer the question.
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking.
		I'm speaking.
		Okay.
		In 1864, one of the, I think, political heroes, certainly of the president, I assume of you also, Mr. Vice President, is Abraham Lincoln.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think we got our answer there.
		Obviously, they're going to do everything they can to pack the courts.
		They're already talking about changing the electoral college they want to.
		There is no norm that we have that these people won't want to change.
		That is not being alarmist and crazy.
		This is what the base wants. And what is driving this is that what sits
		underneath what seems perhaps like a moderate Biden-Harris ticket is a crazed radical base that
		does not like America, period. Thus is the irony of the Biden campaign.
		You know, uh, Kamala, the whole democratic side of this thing at the moment basically is saying, America is evil, America is racist, we're systemically racist, we're awful, capitalism is terrible, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
		And also the guy who's gonna fix it has been around for 47 years doing this stuff.
		He was busy, he had stuff to do, smelling little girl's hair, things like that.
		Now he's going to get to it.
		He's going to get to the hard work.
		And of course, it's just nonsense.
		So it's like the very premise.
		It's not just that they launched the campaign on a lie, the very fine people, but the idea that these are the people that are going to fix this thing.
		It's just such absolute nonsense.
		So of course, they're going to pack the courts.
		They're lying.
		She's lying.
		They're intentionally being dishonest.
		Biden's answer on it was also ridiculous because he basically was like, I can't comment on it because We're in the middle of an election.
		I'm pretty sure that's when you're supposed to comment on what your opinions are as to when you're gonna potentially be president.
		I think that's what this whole thing's about.
		Good lord.
		But okay, so let's back up for a second.
		You got Pence, and he's there, and basically, sure, he had the fly in the hair.
		Also, he's got something going on with his, I think it's his left eye, a little bloodshot or something.
		I don't know what was going on there.
		But basically, he sat in the chair, I think he was presidential.
		He wasn't rude.
		By the way, we had one of my guys, while we were watching, timing, because Susan Page kept saying, two minutes!
		Two minutes uninterrupted.
		Two minutes uninterrupted.
		Several times, at least five times, Pence was interrupted by Susan Page before two minutes, and Kamala was not interrupted after two minutes.
		You can check.
		I mean, we had an iPhone with a clock.
		We started checking it, so that just is what it is.
		I'm just putting it out there.
		So anyway, Pence, I thought, issues aside for a moment, I thought, He did a perfectly fine job, which was all that he had to do.
		He just sort of had to sit there and say, I can kind of stabilize this thing.
		That's what I've been here for.
		And he offered Trump actually a lot of nice praise.
		And I think there were moments where maybe he didn't even have to go that far, but he did.
		Kamala, man, this is a deeply, deeply unlikable person.
		I mean, the smiles and the fake laughs, and I'm talking, I'm talking.
		You're interrupting me.
		Like, she's just awful.
		Like, who would want to be around a person like that?
		She's not, you can tell she's just like a power-hungry maniac.
		And the clip that I keep talking about from the debates, this thing where they were asking Biden about executive actions on guns, and he says it has to be constitutional, and she laughs in his face and says, ha ha ha, Joe, can't we say yes we can?
		It's like she's telling you who she is.
		She wants to use the office of the presidency to take away one of your fundamental rights, the right to bear arms, or at least significantly alter it.
		She laughed in Biden's face when He said we have to do something constitutional.
		I know.
		Call me old school.
		I believe in the Constitution.
		I know I believe in the Bill of Rights, free speech, you know, freedom of assembly, that sort of old school, that white supremacist stuff, you know?
		So I just I can't imagine anybody.
		I'm trying, guys.
		I'm really trying to be to be impartial.
		Like, obviously, I have my opinions on this.
		Obviously.
		Right.
	Like it just goes without saying.
	I can't imagine anyone watching that and thinking, boy, that Kamala Harris seems like a nice person.
	That seems like the type of person I'd like to have over for dinner.
	Her smugness and that condescending attitude.
	And it's like the way she would turn and be so dismissive to Pence, where it's like he didn't do that at all.
	You know, like he didn't do it at all.
	The asymmetry there, I just think, was obvious.
	Let's show a clip, actually, of one of the times when she barked back at him.
	This is clip two.
	Let's throw to that.
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		Man, I do not like her.
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		I do not like her.
unidentified		And let me be very clear.
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		No, but Susan, this is important.
		And I wanna add, Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking.
		I have to weigh in. - I'm speaking.
unidentified		You can have 15 more seconds, and then we'll give the Vice President a chance to respond.
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		So I wanna ask the American people, how calm were you when you were panicked
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		about where you're gonna get your next roll of toilet paper?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Man, I do not like her.
		I do not like her, and let me be very clear.
		Let me be very clear for the Twitter trolls and the loser YouTubers who clip everything I say
		and remove words and then try to make things out to be not what they are.
		It has nothing to do with her being a woman.
		It has nothing to do with her being black.
		There's also this question, a lot of people are saying she's not even black because I guess her father is Indian and her mother is Jamaican.
		And a lot of Jamaicans don't consider themselves black per se, they just consider themselves Jamaican.
		Okay, I'm not even going to get into the minutia.
		Of that, but this has nothing to do with the complexion of her skin or her boobs or anything else.
		She's just deeply unlikable.
		She comes off as extremely entitled.
		Try to imagine a man behaving that way.
		How would you feel about it?
		Pretty much the same way.
		And that's the point.
		So look, if we're choosing winners and losers here, as I said with the regular debate, the presidential debate, winners and losers, it's like, okay, it's whatever that middle group is, that undecided group of people.
		And did you move anyone anyway?
		Well, the VP debates, I don't think there's any numbers on this really.
		I'd love to see some stats on this in the history of presidential elections.
		Has the VP choice ever made a real movement one way or another?
		And I don't know that there's any evidence of that.
		Whoa, lost my cap on my pen there.
		I just don't know that there's any evidence of that.
		You may remember there are times when it's like very clear that one vice presidential candidate has demolished another one.
		This will be a little bit of an older reference for you YouTube kids out there, but back in in 88 I was 12 years old and I was just getting into politics and and what got me into politics actually was I was in 7th or 8th grade and I think was 8th grade and we were doing a mock election and And I was on the campaign staff for Michael Dukakis.
		He was the Democrat, he was the liberal, he was the lefty, and he was running against George H.W.
		Bush.
		And he was, you know, this is after Reagan, and he's a conservative, and he likes war and money and hates poor people, blah, blah, blah.
		And Dukakis's VP was a guy by the name of Lloyd Benson, who was an older guy, although by these standards now old, old is the new young, I suppose.
		But he had Lloyd Benson as his VP and of course George H.W.
		Bush had Dan Quayle and most of you remember Dan Quayle probably because he was sort of just like the brunt of every joke but he was just like some kind of like idiot basically.
		And there was a line in the debate where Dan Quayle said something about Jack Kennedy and Lloyd Benson looked at him and turned and said, I knew Jack Kennedy and you sir are no Jack Kennedy.
		Everyone went crazy with it.
		And my point of all of this is that Lloyd Benson in effect demolished Dan Quayle in that debate.
		Nobody debated that.
		It was just known to everybody.
		And Dukakis still lost the election.
		So the VP debate doesn't really move one way or another.
		But as I said this morning, it is a little bit different these days because of the age of both of the candidates.
		And even though Trump went in on, what was it, Friday or Thursday evening for Corona and he was out by, By Sunday night or whatever, it's like, or Monday morning, whatever it is.
		Look, the guy had Corona, he's 74, he eats a lot, overweight, Joe Biden's 77, and probably has dementia.
		So like, there is a little bit more to think about with the VPs this time around than before.
		And that's why it was actually kind of funny that neither one of them answered that question right up front.
		As for the rest of the fireworks, I mean, look, the race stuff, Either you see it or you don't at this point.
		Like either you see the lies of the media and how they're trying to constantly tell you that these protests are peaceful and all of these things, even as we watch stores get burned down and people be assaulted and people that are trying to eat at restaurants be attacked and cars be stopped in streets, we're supposed to not see what we see.
		So if you were just a mainstream media viewer, I suppose you would think that these are mostly peaceful things, or that somehow the evil white supremacists are burning these things down.
		I don't know what you'd think at this point.
		I can't even imagine where your brain is at, actually, at this point, if you think that the threat of violence on the streets right now is coming from the right wing.
		It's coming from Antifa.
		It's coming from Black Lives Matter.
		We know it.
		It's more and more and more and more.
		Two weeks ago that in West Hollywood, where I used to live, which is the gayest place on earth, they got rainbow crosswalks.
		It's gayer than Oz.
		Okay.
		This is a pretty freaking gay place.
		You would think that it would be a land of bastion of tolerance and diversity and peace.
		Well, it looks like a war zone over there because everything's boarded up and has been boarded up for a long time now.
		And they have signs that say Black Lives Matter on them, and we are for tolerance, and other meaningless slogans, hashtag that.
		And the reason they have it is not because they believe these are peaceful movements, it's because they don't want their buildings destroyed.
		It's a mafia racket, people, that's what it is.
		But I think the race conversation has devolved into such a stupid thing that we're talking about two totally different things.
		And I think you know my feelings on this.
	All a society can do, all a just society can do, It can't promise that we're going to have equity of outcomes, that everybody, regardless of their race and gender and sexuality and everything else, will be equal on the other side, meaning they will have made the same thing as their life as somebody else, right?
	Life takes hard work.
	Life takes a little bit of luck.
	Life takes networking.
	Life takes making connections.
	Life takes all of the things.
	Life takes getting a good education.
	Life takes coming from a good family.
	All of those things.
	That is what hopefully you can piece together some thing, right?
	You can piece together some sort of coherent ball that you can hold as you go ahead in life and maybe make something successful of yourself.
	And that's regardless or irregardless, as they say online.
	Uh, of your skin color erase or anything else.
	The idea that the system can come in and say, ah, okay, you're this color.
	You should get more stuff.
	As I always say, it kind of sounds right.
	And then you have to think about it and then go, well, wait a minute.
	That means we have to punish somebody else.
	And you know, I'm a man of my word because we hired somebody this week and I'm not going to tell you.
	Their age, or their sexuality, or their gender, or whether they had a limp or a lazy eye.
	But I assure you, none of those factors came into play.
	It was about, can they do the job?
	And as I said in the direct message this morning, it's like, in the old days, if you ignored gender and sexuality and all those things, then that was good, right?
	That was good, if you just ignored it.
	And now if you ignored it, somehow that is bigotry.
	That's how backwards This idiotic set of ideas that we're being inundated with is whiskey time.
	There's something about whiskey for a debate that seems right to me.
	As you guys know, I'm more of a red wine guy, usually.
	But there's something about whiskey while watching politics.
	And then, oh, is this what happens?
	You start drinking whiskey and watching politics.
	Next thing you're smoking a cigar.
	You're sitting on a leather chair in front of a fireplace.
	I don't know if I want to fully go that route, but I could see why something happens there.
	I'm not exactly sure what that is, but I could see why something happens.
	Let's throw, I think we have one other clip here.
	Oh, this was, let's go to clip one for a sec.
	This was Kamala blaming Trump on some of the corona stuff.
	So let's throw to that.
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		Whatever the vice president is claiming the administration has done, clearly it hasn't worked.
		When you're looking at over 210,000 dead bodies in our country, American lives that have been lost, families that are grieving that loss.
		And, you know, the vice president is the head of the task force and knew on January 28th how serious this was.
		And then, thanks to Bob Woodward, We learned that they knew about it.
		And then when that was exposed, the vice president said, when asked, well, why didn't y'all tell anybody?
		He said, because the president wanted people to remain calm.
		Susan, this is important.
		Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking.
		I'm speaking.
unidentified		You have 15 more seconds and then we'll give the Vice President a chance to respond.
kamala harris ▲ ● ▼		I want to ask the American people.
		How calm were you when you were panicked about where you were going to get your next roll of toilet paper?
		How calm were you when your kids were sent home from school and you didn't know when they could go back?
		How calm were you when your children couldn't see your parents because you were afraid they could kill them?
unidentified		Let's give Vice President Pence a chance to respond.
		Vice President Pence, you have one minute to respond.
		You know, there's not a day gone by that I haven't thought of every American family that's lost a loved one.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, so when we're talking about the corona thing, it's very hard to parse all this out because you need to be sitting there with the exact calendar of who said what on what day.
		And we do know that the day on January 28th, this is a fact.
		Fact check me, fact checkers.
		On January 28th, when Trump did the China ban, Joe Biden said, he either said it was xenophobic or racist.
		I think he said it was xenophobic.
		CNN actually fact-checked him, and they said that it was partly true or partly false, partly true, partly false, I suppose that's the same thing, because he never directly said why Trump was being xenophobic, but he happened to call Trump xenophobic that very day.
		So look, we can get into all the who would have done what, and there were debates.
		I mean, here's the thing.
		There were Democratic debates after January 28th that nobody brought up coronavirus, right?
		That nobody brought up COVID.
		So the idea that everyone was talking about this and everyone knew this thing was gonna happen, there were some people talking about it and there were little whispers of it, right?
		I love hearing people say all the time, oh, see, Fox News tricked their viewers into thinking this thing wasn't real.
		Greg Gutfeld was on The Five talking about it in late January, okay?
		That is a fact.
		And there were other people doing the same thing.
		So look, I think the better way to frame a conversation about a coronavirus response is, I think there's a certain type of people that we think that we can build some sort of perfect system.
		And within that perfect system, nothing is going to get in, nothing is going to get out.
		The government will somehow protect you from all things, and that it in and of itself can be perfect.
		And that when they get a warning about everything, that they automatically will do everything they can.
		Of course, the irony of this is Kamala's implication there is, oh, Trump got the warning in January and didn't do anything.
		Now, if he had gotten a warning in January and started to do something, started to do a national lockdown or something like that, what do you think they would have been saying about Trump, about the man they call Hitler, if Hitler started forcing a national lockdown?
		Do you think they might've said, that's not good, Hitler?
		I'm pretty sure that's what they would have said.
		That's why the hindsight on this thing, and this is where the playing teams thing comes in
		so obviously.
		It's like, look, if Obama was president and did the exact same stuff as Trump,
		the media would be telling you that everything happening right now
		is a right-wing conspiracy, and it's those crazy conservatives
		who have caused all of the problems, and they didn't give the power to the president
		to do the stuff that he needed to do, and that's why 200,000 people are dead,
		and that's what the media would be cheering on.
		It just is.
		So I don't think you can build a perfect system, and let me be very clear about this.
		I am not defending every decision that Trump made, and I don't even think anyone in his administration really would defend every single decision he made along the way.
		There is going to be mistakes.
		And this thing about that he hid when he knew that it was going to be bad, that he hid some
		information, first off, he's actually been quite honest about that, that he has to be
		a cheerleader for the country and he didn't want people to panic and all of those things.
		I think there's a perfectly fine argument within that.
		You don't want a president that is gonna be, get some information and be like, holy shit, we're all gonna die!
		You don't want that, right?
		So he was trying to keep the wheels on the car as we're potentially going off a cliff, right?
		Trying to make sure that the brakes don't blow out.
		So I think there's something there.
		But this is one of those things, it's like, if the Democrats, if Obama did the same exact thing, he would be a hero.
		Trump did it this way.
		He's evil.
		Again, I would throw most of this stuff back to the states and let them figure out what to do.
		And even right now, you know, it's like we've got Cuomo in New York and he's shutting down synagogues again.
		And his ding dong brother on CNN who faked having, well, I don't know if he faked having COVID, but he claimed he was in a basement for weeks because of COVID.
		And then was caught outside his Hampton's house getting into a fight with a bicyclist, and then they staged him coming out of his basement on CNN with a sweat, because he was, you know, really, because COVID makes you sweat.
		Anyway, the media is just terrible.
		I'd rather have a debate about the media.
		Could we just talk about the media?
		That was, Pence did have a nice moment where he just really hit the media, because we just simply can't trust these people.
		The fact that you people have to watch me to pilfer out a little truth out of this thing tells you something is deeply, deeply wrong.
		All right, people, I'm gonna take another swig.
		We've got another debate in, I think it's about 10 days from now, or is it the 15th?
		Do you know the date off the top of your head?
unidentified		Next Thursday.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Next Thursday, so today's Wednesday.
		So that's eight days we've got a debate in eight days.
		We will be back live for that.
		I'll be back live tomorrow morning at 11 a.m.
		for the direct message.
		We'll probably have some debate follow-up And some other stuff.
		I'm really digging these direct messages, and clearly by the numbers, you guys are digging them too, so I appreciate that.
		I think there are good things happening.
		And by the way, I wanna just, I'll leave you with something positive for the end of the evening.
		We will get through this.
		I know it feels crazy.
		I know it feels like your neighbor hates you and your cousin hates you and everyone's going bananas.
		And a lot of that's true to a certain degree.
		But it's also partly just the media.
		It's partly just social media and how we all behave on all of those things.
		But I think we will get through this.
		There have been worse things that America has been through.
		We've been through civil wars.
		We've been through A war of independence.
		We've been in two world wars.
		We've been to Vietnam.
		We've had mass civil rights movements.
		A lot of stuff has happened in the 250 incredible years of the United States, and we will get through this slob.
		What we're in right now is the end of one phase.
		We're in the end of the baby boomer phase of this thing, and there is a new world.
		Coming on the other side, and I think if you're a responsible person with your head on straight, what your job is, is to say, OK, what was good out of that world?
		Let's conserve that.
		And what is new in the new world that we should be looking to in the distance?
		And that's also what we should be going to.
		And if we can blend those two things correctly, we can have a functional, decent, free world that's full of equality in the truest sense.
		And if I'm not mistaken, there's a guy who wrote a New York Times bestselling book that came out last April that's writing a book about the very thing that he was just talking about on this very live stream.
		Who could that possibly be?
		Perhaps coming out in the spring of 2022.
		There's a little info for you.
		All right, guys, I gotta go.
		I'm on with Glenn Beck and the Blaze people in about five minutes.
		I'll see you there.
