Hey, everybody.
Good to see you.
I'm Dave Rubin.
This is the Rubin Report Direct Message.
We are live streaming on Rumble UT YouTube and Blaze TV.
Don't forget to share, subscribe, tap notification bells.
It's March 8th, 2022.
There's a lot going on in the world. I said to my guys this morning, like, let's just not do Russia,
Ukraine today. The whole thing, you know, they talk about the fog of war. The whole thing feels
so messy to me and so confusing. And I don't mean confusing like, like we can't ascertain truth out
I mean that our media is in such a state of disarray.
There are so many liars everywhere, people who have lied about everything for so long, that trying to pilfer some truth out of it is really, really tough.
You know, as I said yesterday, it's like, if you think the New York Times and Washington Post lie about everything, then why would they not be lying about this?
I don't know exactly how to frame this in a way that is gonna make
some sense to you.
And I think also, you know, everybody pretends to be an expert about absolutely everything.
And I don't think I have to do that here.
I will do the best I can to communicate this stuff to you as honestly as possible.
And we'll do more as it comes.
But I was just like, you know, I just don't feel like doing it today.
If you want a little more though, on the general ideas about geopolitics
and international relations and things like that, I interviewed Nikki Haley,
and things like that.
I interviewed Nikki Haley, who's the former US ambassador to the UN.
who's the former US ambassador to the UN.
We put it up yesterday.
We put it up yesterday.
You know, she was a UN ambassador under Trump.
She was UN ambassador under Trump, and I know there's a little tension there
And I know there's a little tension there between the base and her for,
between the base and her after the January 6th things and all that,
after the January 6th things and all that.
but she really lays out an interesting case for sort of peace through strength
unidentified
But she really lays out an interesting case about geopolitics and international relations
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
and carry a big stick and speak softly and all that good stuff.
And then I talked to her about my more libertarian approach to things.
So we have a really interesting conversation.
Part one is up on YouTube.
The full thing is up at rubinreport.locals.com.
And as you know, I am in the midst of recording the audio book
for "Don't Burn This Country."
That's what I did for five hours after the show yesterday and I'll be doing for five hours after the show today.
The book is on sale right now.
You can get it at DaveRubin.com slash book.
That's the pre-sale.
Of course, the book comes out on April 12th.
I think you're going to dig it.
I'm really enjoying doing the audiobook because I can land all the funny stuff and do it just Exactly as I like with the pauses in the right spots and all that good stuff.
So I do think you will dig it.
And as I said, if you if you buy it during the presale time, that counts towards week one, which gets us on the New York Times.
And I only want to get on the stupid list so that I can tell those people to go F themselves.
OK, all of that being said, today we're going to be talking about this don't say gay bill here in Florida.
And long story short, you can't say gay.
And there's actually nothing about gay in the freaking bill itself.
But everybody's melting down.
And then we're going to compare and contrast what's going on here in Florida, which is obviously the forefront, the forefront of freedom here in the United States versus what's going on in places like California, New York and some other places.
When it comes to the COVID stuff.
And believe it or not, in New York, they still want young toddlers in masks.
Just crazy stuff.
But before we get to any of that, I want to talk to you guys about ZStack.
And have a sip of coffee.
You know, if the last two years have taught us anything, it's that you must take control of your own health.
It's clear that you can't simply rely on the government or Big Pharma to protect you or your family.
That's where Z-Stack comes in.
Z-Stack is a specially formulated immune-boosting supplement that includes zinc, quercetin, vitamin C and vitamin D, formulated by Dr. Vlad Zelenko, the world-renowned doctor President Trump credited with his early treatment protocol when he got COVID and his decision to take HCQ.
Z-Stack has been scientifically formulated, is kosher and GMP certified and is produced right here in the USA.
Although mask mandates are being lifted and vaccine mandates are no longer enforced in several states.
We'll get to that in a little bit.
Viruses are still out there.
By taking Z-Stack daily, you're supercharging your immune system.
Z-Stack is formulated to help combat any and all variants as well as the common cold and flu So I encourage you to start taking it now
to stay ahead of any potential future variants by preparing your immune system
and going about living your life.
Go to ZStackLife.com/Dave today and enter the promo code Dave
to get a small discount off your first order.
That's ZStackLife.com/Dave, promo code Dave.
And now back to me.
Okay, so the big thing in the culture war, which is always raging on,
we are stuck in this endless, ridiculous culture war that never stops and is fueled by algorithms
and liars and media buffoons versus the rest of us.
The big thing is this Don't Say Gay Bill.
That they're telling us about in Florida.
Now, the bill itself doesn't even have the word gay in it.
But it has caused a complete meltdown amongst our media elite, our blue check Twitterati and everyone else.
So I'm going to tell you exactly what's in the bill.
But before we do that, here's what's going on in Florida schools.
This is Florida Senate Democrats going to a school.
And in case you don't know, they love the gays.
Gay!
I'm honestly not sure that I'm gay after this.
I married to a dude, it's true, my husband's gay, and that's, you know, is what it is.
But I can't take these people anymore, and I'm thinking about returning the gay card.
These people are absolutely ridiculous.
And actually, joking aside, if you're pro-gay, and what I mean by pro-gay is if you believe
that people have sexual preference and should be able to enter whatever relationship
they want with another consenting adult, if you fundamentally believe that,
if you believe in individual rights and all of these things, you have to be radically
against these people because these people are making all gay people look completely ridiculous.
And I actually think there's an awful lot of gay people that are completely against these people.
Now, why is it that these adults are parading around the school chanting, "Gay, gay, gay,
unidentified
everybody's gay, you're gay, you're gay, Why?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
Why is it that they're doing it?
Well, it's because of this bill that is in the Florida State Senate right now that they're calling the Don't Say Gay Bill.
And that sounds very scary, right?
Oh my God, you can't say gay, but we're for free speech.
Why can't you say gay?
Here is reporter Evan Donovan on a local Florida channel explaining what is actually in Bill 1557.
And again, the word gay is not in it.
unidentified
Officially entitled, Parental Rights in Education, it forces school districts to adopt procedures that quote, reinforce the fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding the upbringing and control of their children.
That includes making school districts notify parents if there are changes to the student's mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being, not encouraging students to withhold information from parents, allowing parents to access their child's student records, letting parents refuse any health care services offered by the school, and getting parental permission before administering any health screening or well-being questionnaire.
The bill also forces schools to respond to parent concerns within a week and resolve those issues within a month.
If the school can't or won't, parents can escalate those concerns to the state for a resolution, or they can sue.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
Okay, so reporter Evan Donovan, he had a little run-in with DeSantis about this a day or two ago.
We'll get to that in just a second, but what he laid out there is basically what's in the bill.
To expand on it a little bit more, in the essence, if you are in kindergarten to third grade, that's what this is about, kindergarten to third grade, they can't teach you in a state school about sexuality or gender identity.
That has nothing to do with being anti-gay or anti-trans or anything else.
I really think about this for a second, especially for those of you that are parents.
Really think about this.
You had a second grader.
Second grader, seven years old, eight years old.
Okay, I was just at my niece's birthday party on Sunday.
She turned seven years old.
These kids, we were playing, we were making the putty.
What do they call it?
Not the putty.
What do they make?
The slime?
You make the slime.
It's like with shaving cream.
They love slime and painting and all this stuff.
It's a bunch of kids.
They want nothing to do and they know nothing about sexuality or sexual preference or anything else.
Why in the world would you want To send your kid to a state run school where most likely an activist is going to start bringing up sexual attraction to them and sexual preference and sexual identity, whether they think they're a boy or a girl or anything else, especially when you know that these teachers are mostly activists and they will always endorse the most extreme ideas.
That's just true.
That's just true.
That's not a that has nothing to do with being gay or anything else.
Why would you want your young?
kindergartner, first grader, second grader, third grader, being taught about sex in school.
That's what this is really about.
But now can we pull up the still there of the bullets of what else is in there?
So this is HB 1557.
This is what all of the Democrats in the media are going crazy about.
These people lie about absolutely everything.
Let's just go quickly through these five bullets.
You should notify parents of changes to health or well-being.
Well, OK, that does seem like if a kid at school was having health problems or seemed depressed or something like that, it does seem like that shouldn't just be dealt with within the school.
It seems like a teacher or an administrator or principal might want to communicate that to the parent, because ultimately the parent is the one responsible for the child's well-being.
OK, bullet number two.
Don't encourage withholding info from parents.
Well, of course that makes sense.
What right?
If the school knew that a child was deeply depressed about something, was really upset about something, was in some sort of pain, having some sort of existential crisis.
And again, we're talking about kids that are in first or second grade.
This isn't about 10th graders, right?
That are a little more evolved 12th graders that are that are really figuring stuff out.
Of course, you wouldn't want to withhold that information if you had a kid In school, that was in a lot of pain, whatever that is, physical pain, mental pain, emotional pain.
Why would you be withholding that?
Would that make sense?
Does the state own the children?
Not yet.
Bullet number three, allow parents to access child student records.
Well, OK, that that makes sense.
If a kid's acting out in class and they get a bad mark, he's talking a lot.
He makes a lot of jokes, whatever it might be.
Of course, the parent should be able to see what's in this kid's records again.
Why?
Why is the good position here that we should hide things from parents unless you guys are up to something really nefarious?
And I think you are.
Bullet number four.
Let parents refuse school health care services.
OK, I could see this one being slightly more controversial.
Obviously, I'm OK with that.
Of course, parents ultimately should decide what their children are injected with or what pills they they take, et cetera, et cetera.
We all know this.
I think that should be the default position of most people.
But I suppose in the crazy world that we live in, it would be somewhat controversial if
some kids didn't want to be injected and other kids did, in which case I think if you really
care about your kid, you'll just take them out of school.
But I'll at least grant there's some debate there somewhere on that one.
And the fifth bullet point, get parental permission for health screening.
Yeah.
That's fine.
Why wouldn't you just want a parent if you go to the zoo?
Remember when you went to the zoo in school?
Remember when you took the trip to Washington D.C.
and you went and you saw the White House and all that stuff?
You'd have to have a parental document.
It was a small piece of paper.
It was usually about, you know, yay.
yay long, and a parent would have to sign it, just to say, "Okay, I know my kid's going somewhere."
So I think related to health, or related to what's going on in the school,
or whether the kid is depressed, or in pain, or whatever else it is,
these are all obviously sane things.
But the Democrats, they cannot do anything sanely, and then they get the media to fuel it,
and then the entire machine, the entire algorithmic machine, the way Twitter shows you the topics,
unidentified
"Ron DeSantis hates gay people, "doesn't want anyone to say gay."
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
It's complete and abject nonsense.
Here's Governor Ron DeSantis on Tucker Carlson explaining what's actually going on here.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼
Well, Tucker, none of the adults were wearing masks, and it seemed to me that someone told those kids they had to do it.
So I just wanted to make it very clear.
They do not need to be doing it.
Obviously, in Florida, it's a free state.
You can do it.
But I think it's also important to point out that there's no reason to do it, for young and healthy kids especially.
In the state of Florida, we never had a mask mandate, of course, but our guidance from our health department is not to wear these cloth masks.
And I think it needs to be said because people have been lied to for two years.
And so I was, uh, I didn't want it to be thinking that like they were told to do this by me because I certainly wouldn't do that.
And, you know, they talk about, oh, by letting someone have a choice to take off their mask and welcoming that.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
Alright guys, my bad, I threw to the wrong clip there.
So here is Ron DeSantis now getting into a bit of a scuffle with the same reporter who I just showed you from that
local News affiliate here in Florida about the don't say gay bill
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼
Does it say that in the bill Does it say that in the bill?
I'm asking you to tell me what's in the bill because you are pushing false narratives.
It doesn't matter what critics say.
unidentified
It says advanced classroom instruction on sexual identity and gender orientation.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼
For who?
For grades pre-K through three.
Five-year-olds, six-year-olds, seven-year-olds.
And the idea that you wouldn't be honest about that and tell people what it actually says, it's why people don't trust people like you because you peddle false narratives.
And so we just abuse you of those narratives.
And we're going to make sure that parents are able to send their kid to kindergarten without having some of this stuff injected into their school curriculum.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
OK, sorry about our little screw up there.
That one's on me.
But you can see what's going on here, which is that DeSantis really has become a master in how to deal with the media.
The fact that reporters are going up to him and talking about the don't say gay bill already shows you that the reporters have they've swallowed the narrative, right?
Like they've taken that blue pill and by just calling it the don't say gay bill, they're already giving oxygen to something that deserves No oxygen.
But DeSantis just pushes back.
And that's exactly what you must do.
You cannot play their games.
And they get everybody to play their games.
And once you start playing their games, it's an endless quicksand.
Now, here is the video that we showed you a couple of days because DeSantis has just been knocking it out of the park.
Here's DeSantis a couple of days ago telling those University of South Florida students to take off their masks.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼
You do not have to wear those masks.
I mean, please take them off.
unidentified
Honestly, it's not doing anything and we've got to stop with this COVID theater.
So if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous.
Alright, well it's good to be at USF.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
OK, so what happened after that?
Well, after that, then everyone said DeSantis is a bully.
He forced the kids to take off their masks.
He told them it was their choice.
He didn't force anyone to do anything.
You can even take you see the kid taking it off and like the smile on his face like, oh, I can breathe again.
So DeSantis is really fighting the machine right now.
Now, I want to contrast that.
To New York Governor Kathy Hochul, or as I call her, Kathy C-word, because as they start taking masks off in New York, at least in parts of New York, she's very concerned that the masked might now get bullied, even though they were the ones bullying everyone for the last two years.
kathy hochul ▲ ● ▼
We will not have any tolerance for people who are questioning someone's own personal decision to do what they want.
If people want to continue wearing masks, They allowed me to continue wearing masks and I don't want any issues related to that and I want to be very clear on that.
We will not stand for any bullying or ostracization or harassment of an individual or a business or anyone who chooses to wear a mask.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
All right, so this is totally extraordinary, and I'm not just talking about her eyebrows, and she's definitely on the Pelosi route, whatever's going there.
Like, what do these people do with it?
Like, they're just trying to look evil.
It's weird.
But what is she really saying there?
It's actually pretty amazing.
She's saying, we will not tolerate any bullying.
Now, first off, these are the bullies.
You, Kathy Seward, you are the bully.
You are the mandate bully.
You are the vaxo.
You are the people that have been bullying everyone for the last two years to do exactly what you want.
But also, what do you mean as the governor?
We will not tolerate any bullying of kids or people or businesses that want to wear masks.
Now, I'm not for bullying inherently.
Everyone can make whatever choice they want.
That's what I have That's what I believe in.
It's what I've pushed this entire time, right?
But what do you mean we will not tolerate it?
Are you going to arrest students who might make fun of other students?
I mean, is that what you're gonna do?
Are you gonna start arresting people who mock people?
What do you mean we will not tolerate it as a representative of the state?
So that's what's going on in New York.
And now let's throw back To that Tucker clip with Ron DeSantis related to bullying and masks and COVID and the whole damn thing.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼
Well, Tucker, none of the adults were wearing masks, and it seemed to me that someone told those kids they had to do it.
So I just wanted to make it very clear.
They do not need to be doing it.
Obviously, in Florida, it's a free state.
You can do it.
But I think it's also important to point out that there's no reason to do it, for young and healthy kids especially.
In the state of Florida, we never had a mask mandate, of course, but our guidance from our health department is not to wear these cloth masks.
And I think it needs to be said because people have been lied to for two years.
And so I was I didn't want it to be thinking that like they were told to do this by me because I certainly wouldn't do that.
And, you know, they talk about, oh, by letting someone have a choice to take off their mask and welcoming that choice, that that's somehow bullying.
Tucker, bullying is locking kids out of school, which they did.
Bullying Is forcing kids to wear masks for eight hours a day, which they did for two years and are only stopping now because the polling's changed.
Bullying is kicking people out of work because of vaccine mandates.
We fought all of those policies in Florida.
We lifted people up and we liberated them from local school boards and governments.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
That's my governor.
Do you see what they do?
They are the bullies.
They are the hysterical authoritarians.
They're the ones who have ruined so many people's lives and broke
these young people to the point that even now, today,
you still see young, healthy high school kids wandering around
in masks because of the fear that these people have put on.
So telling people, hey, you don't have to wear the mask, that's not the bullying tactic.
They are the bullies.
They do all the bad stuff and then they call everyone else bad guys.
We have to really understand what that is so that we know how to behave better when it happens.
And DeSantis really is becoming a master of it.
This is a good transition to now what's going on in New York City.
So you may remember that New York City got rid of the reign of terror of Bill de Blasio, the socialist maniac who ruined New York City for about eight years.
And they voted in this other Democrat, Mayor Eric Adams, who just took over in the last couple months, who, once again, my good liberal friends, who I suppose are well-intentioned but get everything wrong, they said, no, he won't be a radical.
He'll be good.
Yeah, well, here he is keeping kids, toddlers, toddlers in masks.
unidentified
If you were talking to a four-year-old and trying to explain why they have to keep their mask on but their six-year-old brother doesn't, what is your explanation to that four-year-old?
I'm so happy you said that because when I was in Rockaway and the St.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
Pat's Day Parade, I did just that.
unidentified
A group of parents brought me and talked to their children and explained to them.
I told them, you're going to be taking off your mask like your big brothers and sisters are doing now.
You know, when you have big brothers and sisters, sometimes they do things first to make sure it's safe for you.
And those children, they understand it because they trust their parents and they trust their leadership.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
They're not tainted like adults.
unidentified
They still feel that we have to make the right decisions for them.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
And I'm with the parents.
unidentified
I want those masks off.
eric adams ▲ ● ▼
I said it in January, but I have to do it right to make sure our city protects its children and don't close down the city again.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
We really live in two different countries.
Perhaps it's more than two different countries at this point, but I don't live in the same country as that man.
I don't want to live in the same country as that man.
I want people like him to have absolutely nothing to do with me, and that is why right now we are building a giant moat around my house.
As I said the other day, we're filling it with gators, and I just put an order in.
We sent the paperwork over to Israel.
I'm getting an iron dome system.
Around my house.
I want nothing to do with these people.
Now notice, of course, let's just do the easy stuff up top.
He didn't say one thing about science, right?
So there is 100% no science that has come out anywhere that says that toddlers, he's talking about two and three year olds, have to be masked while their older brothers, who should do stuff before them, while they don't have to be masked.
Okay, so there's no science.
So he quoted no science there.
And then, The line that really gets you.
These kids, he's talking about these toddlers, they're not tainted like adults.
Think about what that means.
He's right, they're not tainted like adults.
Kids come into this world and they're born free and they're naive.
The world is just, the world is what is put in front of them and then they need adults to teach them how to think.
They need adults to teach them what freedom is and to be able to critically think about what's going on.
A toddler cannot do that.
Force a toddler to wear a mask and then make them feel one day when you're five years old, you'll be able to take off the mask.
They're just going to believe you.
So they are breeding a generation of robots.
And that's what they want.
They want a bunch of dependent, depressed robots.
I'm sorry.
There's just no other way to look at that.
I just don't know how you could possibly see it any other way.
And remember, he was supposed to be the good guy.
He's not as crazy as lefty lunatic Bill de Blasio.
That's what they said.
Um, and I'm sorry if you, if you now have a child that's three years old and you are living in New York City under the rule of that man, you're, you're a child abuser in essence.
I don't see a way around it.
You're a child abuser.
You are letting the state abuse your child, put your children in mass.
We know kids are getting mouth sores.
It's causing delayed speech and depression, all of the stuff.
You all know all this stuff, and if you're just letting them do it, then congratulations.
Your kids are going to put you in a really, really cheap old age home one day where you'll most likely be abused by one of their friends.
But there's more from New York City because some parents have had it.
He said that the good... He made it seem like the parents want this, right?
This is what the parents want because...
I love parrots!
Not exactly the truth.
We've got some info here from the New York Post.
Roughly a hundred parents and children gathered in front of New York's City Hall Monday to protest continuing mask mandates for the city's youngest kids.
There is nothing I wouldn't do to keep my daughter safe, but it is my fervent belief, a belief supported by science, that continuing to mask two to four-year-olds is unnecessary, said Dr. Megan Martin, who has two children, Two children ages six and four masking tots hampers their
development and must be abandoned She argued the policy does real harm to their education and
social growth She said and it was the oath I took as a physician to first
do no harm That is bringing me here today
The rally goers said they plan to file a lawsuit that will challenge the ongoing face covering requirement for
children For and under if you want to know sort of what level
what level of abject bullshit we're dealing with.
Do you remember what happened a week ago today?
Do you guys remember what we were doing a week ago today?
Remember we ordered some pizza and some tequila and we watched that elderly man give that ridiculous speech where he slurred all his words?
Yeah, I remember that.
That was a week ago.
That was the State of the Union.
That was Joe Biden.
He's 81 years old.
Is that right?
How old is Joe Biden?
Something like that, or he's 78, 81, whatever he is, but the guy's obviously not doing so great with a bunch of other geriatric old people, most of them who have trouble standing up out of their chairs.
He's 79 years old.
Thank you.
But he acts 81.
They were all in a room that was closed, that was not outdoors, and they were hugging and kissing and spitting all over each other.
Nancy Pelosi was rubbing her evil claws together, remember that, as she sat right behind old Joe.
The day before that, Joe was wearing a mask.
That day, he didn't wear a mask.
The day after, he was wearing a mask again.
It's all theater.
It's all bullshit.
I just don't know what they have...
If you're a scientist, if you're a media matters guy who watches my show, please help me.
Please help me.
that makes you think, but they did it.
And congratulations to them for being very good at what they do, even though they're very evil.
But which is more dangerous?
Which is, really think about it, please, scientists.
If you're a scientist, if you're a media matters guy who watches my show, please help me.
Please help me, please show me the study that shows me it's more dangerous for three-year-olds
to be unmasked than Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.
Please show it to me.
But I get that you can't do it.
I know you can't.
But please do.
I'll gladly... Send me a video.
We'll play it here.
I won't even comment on it.
I mean that.
Back to Florida where good things are happening.
Our Surgeon General here is a gentleman by the name of Joseph Latipo.
And he has really become an all-star in all this.
We've talked about him a bit on the show.
If his politics were a little bit different, a young black man that's a Surgeon General
of a major state would be a huge star, right?
He'd be on Newsweek, he'd be on Time, he'd be on cover of New York Times every day.
Everyone would be telling you how great he is.
Now, unfortunately, he happens to work for a scary, don't-say-gay conservative.
So you don't hear much of this guy, but he is just knocking it out of the park, defending freedom and actually talking about where the real science is.
Here he is talking about masks and the nonsense around masking.
unidentified
You know, it's hard to find these in Florida.
You gotta look hard.
But, you know, if you know where to look, you can find them.
So I brought this, right?
So, unfortunately, we have a country right now where most people, including, I mean, this is across the political spectrum, think that these things are saving lives.
So, to the doctors who tell you that these things save lives, Ask them, ask them, you know, what did the two randomized clinical trials that we've done during the pandemic, what did they show?
Ask them that when they tell you that these things save lives.
One found nothing.
Zero benefit.
The other found a small benefit, like a tiny benefit, that's a little bit methodologically shaky.
And by the way, none of them, none of them found a benefit in young people.
Not a single one found a benefit in young people.
That's the highest quality evidence.
That's what it showed.
Lower evidence is what the CDC likes to tout.
You know, shaky studies, shaky methods, finding 80% reductions in infection.
Give me a break, you know?
I mean, come on!
Nothing that we're seeing in this country justifies that kind of conclusion.
Good doctors who were brave enough to say what the science showed.

Do you guys get that feeling that I keep talking about when I play these clips where someone tells the truth, when you hear DeSantis tell the truth, or you hear our Surgeon General tell the truth, or the rare moments that someone outside of Florida tells the truth?
Like it actually, it feels lightning, right?
Like you feel like a weight is lifted off your chest.
Because it's like we should be hearing truth from the people that we elect.
We should be hearing truth from the people that are in charge of these states.
We should be hearing truth from our media and everywhere else.
It's not that hard.
It really isn't that hard.
It's what's right.
And for some reason we're doing the whole damn thing backwards.
But it was so interesting what he said there.
He quoted studies.
Did you notice that?
Quoted actual studies.
So again, Media Matters or Washington Post or whatever, like fact check the guy.
Why don't you fact check the guy?
I think we know why you don't fact check the guy.
He talked about the methodology, right?
He's showing you that there is no benefit to any of this.
And if there was...
If there was, then why would Florida, which has been open for two years and everywhere I go, everywhere I go, whether I'm in Miami or I was on the other coast last week, and I've been up north and I've been to the middle of the state, everywhere I go, everything is packed.
Very few people are wearing masks, but you can wear one if you want to, and nobody's bullying you for it.
Wouldn't the numbers be completely out of control, the morgues be overrun, Florida has the second oldest population in the United States, etc, etc.
It just never ends.
But Florida just has to keep leading and that's exactly what it's doing.
We've got some more info here from the New York Post.
Florida will become the first state in the nation to formally recommend against COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children, a local official said Monday.
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Latipo, who you just saw there, announced the move, which would defy guidance issued by the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and that all children ages 5 to 7 should be vaccinated.
Now it's funny because what Florida does everyone ends up doing two years later.
So most likely this is what's going to happen everywhere else.
We shall see.
But it's like this this is what I mean about two countries.
This is absolutely what I mean about two countries.
It's like you can either live in a place where you have a New York City mayor.
Uh, telling you that we're going to mask two year olds for no reason other than he, I think he wants to abuse children.
I, I, I cannot see it any other way.
No science supports it.
Two years after two, two weeks to flatten the curve.
So you can either live in that city or you can live his governor, Kathy Seward, in a place where, uh, she's now mostly worried that the masked are going to be bullied.
These people are so backwards, it's extraordinary.
Let's give Dr. Latipo a little more credit today.
Here he is talking about the new guidance here in Florida, and he is not happy with Fauci and the CDC.
unidentified
It's really been a tragedy that my colleagues, my physician colleagues, have decided
that it's more important to stick with whatever the CDC or Dr. Fauci is saying,
than relying on their clinical wisdom, them experience and scientific expertise, which is what
doctors usually do.
So now, doctors who practice medicine in the way that they think is most appropriate for their patients, When they receive pushback from hospitals, we have an avenue for them to file a complaint with our Agency for Healthcare Administration that the hospital is interfering with their ability and their clinical judgment in terms of what's best for their patients.

Isn't it also the tone that he talks with where it's like, oh, it actually just kind of feels honest and it doesn't feel like he's a bullshit artist or trying to control you.
It's not just that he's talking about the studies and that it's couched in the idea that we should all make choices for ourselves and doctors should follow the science, not follow Fauci.
It's also just like the general feeling, like he comes off as a decent guy.
Now go back later and watch that video of of Kathy Hochul again with the crazy eyebrows
talking about bullying when she is the biggest bully in all of New York.
I just want nothing to do with these people in case that is not clear.
Couple comments from rubinreport.locals.com.
Owen says, "Every day DeSantis pushes me further "and further to finding a job in Florida."
Yeah, look, I assume if you're a member of the Rubin Report community,
you're gonna vote the right way.
But there's room in Florida.
There's a booming economy here, which is not happening in the rest of the country.
We want more good people here.
I think I mentioned this the other day, but when I saw DeSantis speak at an event a few days ago, he mentioned that when he came into office, There were 300,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans.
He's only been office for a couple years.
And now there are about 100,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats.
So there's a huge sea change here.
And it's not because people hate science and it's not because people hate gays or anything else.
It's because people want to live freely.
Freelee.
So get a job here, move your family here, bring your resources and your love of life, and let's keep making this place better.
Yeah, awesome.
Gellerish says, when I was in third grade, I still thought girls had cooties.
Wait, girls don't have cooties?
I was not in for, we're gonna have to get a fact check on that one.
Yes, these crazy people, like legitimately crazy people.
I mean, you just really have to think about it.
And maybe I'm sort of on this because I just, as I said, I went to my niece's seven year old birthday party
at this place and we're making the silly string and we're painting and we're playing these squishy balls
and they like the poppets, you know, these things.
They like, it's interesting 'cause kids right now, they seem to all love this tactile stuff
that you actually touch or pull or mush around in your hands.
And I think that's partly because they're on iPads all day long and they're at screens all day long and Zoom and all that.
So kids in reality, they want some reality.
But the idea that you would start talking to seven-year-olds about gender identity or sexuality, it has nothing to do with them.
And yes, if you were in the rare, rare, rare, let's say 1% case where maybe Your seven-year-old child wanted to talk to you about gender identity or sexuality.
That should be done with you as the parent, not done at school by some government employee.
It's just so obvious.
And it's just another one of those things where they have lied and they're so over the top and they're lying and they confuse so many, so many people.
It's just so twisted.
It's so twisted.
Man, what are we going to do about it?
Abe says, what do you suggest for those of us in blue states that are still sane, but cannot afford to just pack up and leave?
Well, first off, I've got the jar right here and I have mentioned New York a couple of times.
So I'm going to put some more cash in the jar.
This is the leave Cali fund.
And at the end of the year, I am going to give a whole bunch of cash and I'll throw in a couple extra thousand dollars myself to just move somebody.
Like I just want somebody to get the hell out of California and come here to Florida.
You don't have to come to Florida.
Realistically, it's someone that comes to Florida.
Maybe you can go to Texas or Tennessee, but I just want to give someone here.
I'm putting in another fiver, okay?
'Cause I just want good people here, but your question's a good one.
'Cause look, it's very difficult to move.
People have all sorts of their own issues, right?
Like you might have family, uh, elderly parents.
You might have young cousins, whatever it is.
Like you might have a business that you started there.
Although if you have a business that you started in a place like California, it's probably not going that well, but we all have our own considerations.
That's the point.
I mean, trust me when I decided to make the move, David actually was not as enthused as I was at first.
I had to make sure that my entire team wanted to come with me.
I was a little worried about that.
Once I said it to everybody, they were like, yes, let's go tomorrow.
Okay.
So it all kind of worked out but it's just not easy to move in general and it costs a lot of money to move all your stuff and you know there's all and you have to rebuild a network of friends and rebuild a business network and you have to find a new dentist and a new hairstylist and all of those things like it's not the easiest thing but I would say at this point At this point, the country is so broken and so split, and I don't know, I just don't know, I don't say this with glee, but I just don't know what makes us the United States of America anymore.
I don't want anything to do with anything that goes on in California.
And I don't want any of those bad ideas infecting this state.
And the states, the good states are going to have to continue to figure out how do we protect our freedoms in the face of this never ending federal encroachment, in the face of big tech lies and media lies and everything else.
So if you're really, really stuck there, the best you can do I think is build a really good community of people around
you, whether that's church or synagogue or sports or whatever, and try not to and try to get your kids
out of school. If you're a parent, I mean, I would say, you know, it's not like everyone wants
to be a homeschooler, but now there's these pods like there. There are ways that you can
get some of the power back into your hands.
But the real thing is like figure out a way to get out if you can.
I just don't see how it turns around.
I just don't see it.
And by the way, that's not that's not really depressing.
It's not.
This is the way it was all set up to be.
And it's just becoming more and more stark and enough people are going to move.
And then and then, of course, the blue states will declare war on the red states because they're going to be jealous of the freedom and the success and all that.
But I think we got a couple of years on that one.
Anywho, guys, don't forget to preorder Don't Burn This Country at DaveRubin.com slash book.
I will be spending the next five hours reading chapters four through six, I believe, and the audio book will be out as well on April 12th in the year 2022.
As always, you can play along in the live chat at rubenreport.locals.com.
And part one of my interview with Nikki Haley, former U.S. ambassador to the UN,
is up on YouTube and on Rumble right now.
The full thing is already up on Locals totally ad-free.
And as I said, we get into the Russia-Ukraine thing, but I tried to do it at sort of a high-level thing,
not every little nitty gritty.
We did some 101 stuff on the history of the area and Putin's ambitions.
But then really what we talked about was policy.
Like, what are sane policies?
What are ways that you can have a foreign policy that makes sense so that your interests are protected, so that you're not encroaching on other people, but you can also do some good things in the world?
How do you blend that with, you know, a more libertarian approach of just stay out of people's way and let other countries do what they want?
I think it's a really interesting conversation and I'm fairly certain you will dig it.
On that note, I have to stop talking for an hour because I got a long afternoon of talking.
Hope you enjoyed the show.
Have a great day.
