unidentified		I need a student because I'm easy to cope, easy to cope, little high, little low,
unidentified		standing by the window, just looking around.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Hello, people.
		It is December 13th, 2022.
		I'm Dave Rubin.
		This is the Rubin Report, and if I had to see Justin Trudeau singing Bohemian Rhapsody, then you had to see it, too.
		You owe me a thank you, because we cut it short.
		It was just a little nibble that we gave you.
		It's horrible.
		And we're gonna be doing a little bit of Justin Trudeau kind of stuff.
		I know we've been focusing really hardcore on Elon and the Twitter thing, so we're gonna take a little bit of a break from that today.
		We're doing a RubinReport.locals.com community Q&A.
		I think there is some couple questions related to the Twitter situation, but I wanted to just start
		completely away from any of that today because there was a few clips of Trudeau
		that I think are making the rounds right now and just show the utter hypocrisy and vapidness
		of this clown, and then I happened to see, having nothing to do with that,
		I happened to see this clip of Robin Williams, and man, wouldn't it be great if Robin Williams
		was still around, what a shame and incredible talent that we lost too soon, making fun of Joe Biden back in 2009.
		I saw this on the Twitter machine and I thought it would be a fun thing to talk about with you guys and how we need comedy, especially in times like this.
		One of the things that has happened over the last couple of years, we've basically decimated comedy.
		There's so few funny shows out there because everyone's afraid to be politically incorrect and say anything true.
		And then, you know, Netflix airs that woman's comedy special where the whole point was not to make anyone laugh.
		Like, it's all whacked out.
		So we're gonna do a little comedy, a little Justin Trudeau, some community Q&A, then we'll go on our happy way.
		Alright.
		First, let me talk to you guys about Bonner Private Wine.
		You know, for 200 years, a few small families deep in the Andes Mountains have been making a dark red wine unlike anything you've ever tasted.
		These wines are made in such small quantities many wouldn't normally make it to the U.S., but the guys over at Bonner Private Wine Partnership have partnered with these families to bring this never-before-imported wine to wine lovers in the U.S.
		Today, I've arranged special access for my audience to be among the first Americans to reserve this rare supply of extreme altitude wine.
		Visit BonnerPrivateWines.com slash Dave and you'll get top quality, extreme altitude wine for a huge discount.
		Perfect for any holiday meal with the family.
		And if you order today, you'll not only get a huge discount and complimentary shipping, you'll also get a bonus bottle of small batch, limited production wine from their exclusive seller.
		That's four bottles for the price of three.
		Just visit BonnerPrivateWines.com slash Dave to get your wine today.
		And now back to me.
		Alright, let's go back to the year 2009 when comedy used to be funny.
		Here's Robin Williams, legendary comedian Robin Williams, on then-Vice President Joe Biden.
unidentified		We still have comedy, though.
		We still have great comedy out there.
		There's always rambling Joe Biden.
		What the f**k?
		Joe says s**t and even people at Tourette's go, no.
		No.
		What is going on?
		Joe is like your uncle who's on a new drug and hasn't got the dosage right.
		I'm proud to work with Barack America.
		He's not a superhero, you idiot.
		Come here!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		When FDR was on television, there was no TV back then.
unidentified		Come here, Joe.
unidentified		Sit down.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Man, he went too early, didn't he?
		He really did.
		I thought it was just funny and worth showing you that because that was back in 2009.
		That's 13 years ago.
		And already people were talking about Joe's flummoxed confusion and screwing up words and names and everything else.
		Flash forward 13 years and here we are and he's the elderly man pretending to be president.
		But I thought we would compare making fun of Joe Biden, and Joe Biden is certainly worth making fun of, to the guy up north, Justin Trudeau.
		And you know my feelings about Justin Trudeau.
		And the important thing is that in America, we're allowed to make fun of our Presidents were allowed to make fun of our senators and congresspeople.
		We have the First Amendment, and although the government has been encroaching on it through big tech, we still can make fun of these people.
		And this is a heck of a segue, but I just thought it was important that I made fun of Justin Trudeau right now.
		Here's Justin Trudeau saying Canada is a place of free expression.
unidentified		As you can also see, Canada is a place of free expression, where individuals and communities are free to express themselves openly and strongly.
		And we thank them for sharing their perspectives.
		Thank you very much.
		Thank you for being here.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you soulless lizard man.
		That is the same Justin Trudeau who, as you know, was closing down truckers' bank accounts, calling half the country racist and transphobic because they were trying to get their stores and schools open and churches and other places of worship, etc, etc.
		But this guy, as far as I can tell, has no human soul.
		That he can go up there and constantly say the exact opposite of what his actions would prove, that he's for free speech, and it's so wonderful that we have free speech here, when he crashes down on the people that try to exercise their free speech.
		So it should not surprise you that Justin Trudeau does want to regulate big tech because, you know, people are saying mean things.
unidentified		How far are you willing to go with regulating social media companies, and what do you say to those who think that it's an attempt to stifle free speech?
		I think we've seen that the impact that social media, particularly around hate speech, around intolerance, around incitement to violence, is a real problem in our communities.
		We need to always walk that careful balance between respecting rights to free expression and free speech, and keeping our communities safe.
		And unfortunately what happens in the virtual world, He's just such a vapid nothing.
		I think it's really important that social media companies understand their responsibility to shape and to ensure
		that our communities stay safe for everyone.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		He's just such a vapid nothing.
		It's not really a social media company's responsibility to do anything other than make a product that event
		hopefully makes the founders some cash and employs a bunch of people
		and puts out a good, valuable thing in your pocket on this thing.
		That's what a tech company is supposed to do.
		Now, we'd like people to be a little bit nicer online, I suppose.
		As I always say, you can block or mute or just not look at your phone.
		But, you know, he conflates three things there.
		First off, he talks about hate speech.
		Now, first, from an American perspective, and of course he's the Prime Minister of Canada, but from an American perspective, there is no such thing as hate speech.
		The Supreme Court has litigated on this, and if you are going to have free speech, then you can't have something called hate speech, right?
		Because one person's free speech is another person's hate speech.
		So we do not, from an American perspective, have hate speech.
		Now, of course, Canada does not have the protections around speech that we have in the United States.
		It's one of the things, really, that, and I would say the Second Amendment, the First and Second Amendment, our ability to speak freely and our ability to own weapons are the things that are keeping us from going off that cliff that Canada seems to be going off of, this authoritarian Uh, Cliff.
		So he talks about hate speech.
		Then he also talks about intolerance.
		People are going to be intolerant.
		It's just how it is.
		It's just how it is.
		Justin Trudeau, I find you rather intolerant of half of Canada.
		Uh, and certainly anyone that believes in the things that I believe in.
		So if I had the power, should I ban you?
		Do you see that this is a two-way street and you could be, uh, you could be screwing yourself once you go down that road.
		And then finally he talks about incite to violence.
		Now that's something, right?
		Again, I'll do this from an American perspective.
		There's no such thing as hate speech.
		You can say mean things about people.
		It's just how it is.
		I don't like you very much.
		Okay, you could say it.
		Then there is intolerance.
		People are going to be intolerant.
		A certain amount of people are not going to like trans people.
		A certain amount of people are not going to like white people.
		It's just how it is.
		It's part of the human condition and the best you can do is try to explain to people that they should not be intolerant, right?
		That would be something.
		Now, the incite to violence is different because that is a direct violation of the law.
		You cannot say, and I want you to go there and kill those people.
		I want you to go violently harass this person, et cetera, et cetera.
		But he purposely conflates all these things because ultimately, of course, what does he want?
		I mean, it's very obvious the guy wants to have control of the internet.
		He wants to have control over Canadians' ability to communicate with each other.
		He wants to pretend that he's for free speech and for free expression while he crashes down on protesters who are going against his authoritarian tactics.
		You guys get it.
		Is there a Canadian Robin Williams?
		They had John Kennedy.
		They don't have John Kennedy anymore.
		Who's out there doing comedy at a Canadian level that's funny these days?
		I'd like to find that person and talk to them.
		Gad Saad's pretty good, but he's not a comedian.
		He's just an evolutionary biologist who hides under his desk.
		It's a long story.
		If you haven't seen those videos, we should post one.
		All right, let me talk to you guys about Cozy Earth, and then we're going to get to the community Q&A.
		Are you looking to score a few extra points by giving the perfect gift this holiday season?
		I've got two great ideas, certain to have family and friends bragging about how thoughtful you are, and they're both from Cozy Earth, the brand with thousands of five-star reviews, including mine.
		First, Cozy Earth Luxury Bedding.
		I own a set of these sheets, and you can't believe how soft they are.
		They're not only super soft, but they're made from the finest premium viscous from highly sustainable bamboo.
		That makes them naturally temperature regulating, so you'll sleep comfortably year-round.
		I sure do.
	And second, anything from their luxurious loungewear collection, including soft and stylish bamboo pajamas, joggers, tees, and more.
	I love the sweatpants.

	You'll love those too.

	That's CozyEarth.com slash Dave.
	CozyEarth.com slash Dave.
	I'm not about to leave.
	RubinReport.locals.com, community Q&A, here we go.
	Nick says, Tulsi has not stated any future political aspirations
	beyond her podcast.
	But do you think that the increasing mass exodus of Democrats like her and Kristen Sinema
	will make it more likely for independent party candidates to win elections?
	Look, as far as I can tell right now, we are just stuck in this duopoly.
	And there are actual decent reasons that it's okay, and then there are a lot of facets of it that are not okay.
	On one hand, you could say that having just Democrats and Republicans, it keeps the sort of center like, okay, this is this, this is this, like we've got two basic paths and they meet occasionally and nobody can go too far off the deep end.
	That would be some argument.
	I don't know that you can fully argue that anymore because the left has gone so bananas that they've dragged everybody in that direction.
	But, you know, it's sort of it's like a very kind of like simple way of looking at politics.
	You have Republicans and Democrats and we have this or this, this or this.
	And maybe that that binary choice is one of the things that's making us all sort of crazy.
	But there is something to be said about two political parties not having to worry about
	a coalition and that you're hopefully pushing as many people towards the center with limited
	choices.
	Something like that.
	But then there are governments all over Europe that have these coalitions.
	And I just had Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on, who has for many times now,
	because he's been Prime Minister for many, many years, had to create these coalitions.
	So people don't just vote for the right-leaning party or the left-leaning party.
	There's all these different parties.
	Then the coalition comes in, has to get a minimum amount of seats to run the parliament.
	In their case, it's 61 seats out of 120.
	And then you have a government.
	There's problems with that because if you're the party that has two seats but you're getting
	the coalition over from 59 to 61, you have an awful lot of disproportionate power.
	That's why their governments keep falling.
	So it's all tough, but as far as Tulsi and Kyrsten Sinema, The idea that they are, you know, in essence, leaving the Democrat Party is good.
	I think that there is a lot of opportunity to work with Republicans right now.
	I really do.
	As you guys know, last week I went to D.C.
	to talk to the new congressional Republicans like they're eager to be better than their predecessors.
	I think that they've really learned a lot.
	partially from Ron DeSantis here in Florida about what leadership is and picking the right fights.
	I think there's a sense even now, Kevin McCarthy, who most likely will be the majority leader,
	like he seems like he's getting a little backbone, as Joe Biden would say, he's got a backbone like a ramrod,
	whatever the hell that means.
	So like, I think there is something kind of good coming.
	But the spirit of people that are independents truly, and I take a little bit from here and a little bit from
	here, I think that that's great.
	I just think that there's a lot more room to work with those people if you're gonna do it
	on the right rather than on the left, where I just think there's scorched earth,
	Do you think Fauci will face any legal action because of his flip-flop decisions on masks and lockdowns?
	I was completely fine.
	I had COVID, I was fine.
	The only reason I took the test was because of the kids.
	I had a little scratchy throat.
	It's all good.
	Thank you very much.
	Do you think Fauci will face any legal action because of his flip-flop decisions on masks and lockdowns?
	Dr. Burke admitted in her book that they were encouraging Trump to lock down the country
	should she be called in to testify that Fauci did want lockdowns.
	Right, so Fauci has taken every position on this.
	He has said many times, I wasn't for lockdowns, and then there's plenty of video saying that he was.
	And I didn't want to keep kids out of school, and yes, he did.
	And masks work, and then he's emailing friends to say that they don't work.
	Like, he's something.
	He deserves whatever.
	He gets, I suppose.
	Although, unfortunately, I think he's probably just going to get a big pension.
	And that'll be it.
	Look, if it's proven without question that he lied under oath to Rand Paul about gain of function or what NIH was doing, etc., etc., if you lie under oath to Congress or the Senate, then you're in trouble.
	And you have to be in trouble, right?
	It's one thing, as I always say, it's one thing to lie to a CNN journalist.
	It's one thing to lie to me.
	It's one thing to lie to you.
	But if you lie under oath, then there has to be repercussions for that.
	And Fauci has really, not only has been one of the prime purveyors of this dishonest streak that we have in this country right now, but the way he's gaslighting everybody to say that, no, I didn't say any of the things that I said, but do I have great faith that something will happen to him?
	Probably not.
	It's just not how the system works.
	Janzy says, good morning, Dave.
	How many psychiatrists or psychologists Do you think are actually good?
	Do you feel they're all contributing to our downfall?
	Well, I don't know that I can give you a number on that, but I would say generally speaking, you know, we have a very, very, at the psychiatrist level, I'll do that one first, because obviously there's a difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist.
	At a psychiatrist level, you know, the people that are prescribing the pills, we have a deeply, deeply, deeply over drug society.
	There's just no doubt about that.
	Everyone's got ADHD.
	Everyone's got, you know, this attention deficit disorder and that thing and the other one and restless leg syndrome and spastic whatever.
	And that we drug everybody.
	I do not think that that is good.
	There's an entire industry around that.
	And then they come with all these side effects.
	And then you see the commercial with the depressed guy walking around with the little cartoon, you know, cloud hanging over him.
	And then what does he do?
	He takes another pill because of the side effects of the other pill.
	It's not good.
	As for psychology, I think there's some decent psychologists out there.
	I think mostly if people would just get off themselves.
	That sounded dirty.
	But what I mean by that is mostly you should take some responsibility for your life.
	Start putting some of your like innate beliefs, that little part of you that knows what's good and true.
	Start following that thing a little bit more.
	And then some of the other like general craziness won't get you.
	I think that's also partly why over the two plus years of COVID, people who were a little more connected to belief, Seem to be a little bit better because they were believing in something outside of themselves as opposed to the whole system which on any given day was telling you so many crazy things and so many conflicting things that if you only believe in that that you are bound to go crazy and then need to be medicated or need to lay on a couch with a psychologist you know for five hours a week but if you believe in something else
	If there's something outside of what's immediately happening here, I think that lends itself to being a little bit saner.
	Chuck says, if you had to pick one of your childhood toys to introduce to the boys, which one would you pick and why?
	Chuck, we did a little advanced research on this one.
	I went into the closet and we busted out This is old Soundwave from the original Transformers.
	I got this thing in, I think, 1984.
	It was my, uh... What was that?
	That was my eighth birthday, maybe?
	This is Soundwave, who, of course, he was a cassette player, who then transforms into a robot who had an awesome... His head fell off.
	I gotta... We gotta deal... We got some glue around here.
	So Soundwave's head like that, that's Soundwave.
	And then inside Soundwave, you press the button.
	The button doesn't really work anymore.
	Now you got Ravage.
	He's the cassette player who transforms into a panther.
	Pretty freaking awesome.
	But I got this on my birthday, 1984, June 26th, 1984.
	And then he was also sitting in there.
	I know you asked me for one toy that I want to show the kids.
	But also in that little box, I have my original Boba Fett.
	The original Boba Fett, okay?
	And an original Storm Shadow G.I.
	Joe, and as you can see, old school.
	His crotch is totally blown out, that's what happens.
	Legs, he doesn't have much going anymore, but he's still roughly in one piece.
	But I can't wait to get them into that stuff, like when they're into toys and whatever it is at the time.
	Hopefully Transformers are still around, and G.I.
	Joe, and maybe some Star Wars stuff even.
	Yeah, I can't wait for that.
	Kathy says, I know you have a Tesla.
	How many miles can you get from one charge?
	Are there public places you can charge your car?
	Do you have to charge at home?
	How's the maintenance?
	I'll do the maintenance first.
	Maintenance is incredible.
	I've had, we had a three-year lease on a Tesla.
	Now we're into a fourth year, I guess, at this point.
	I've never had a problem with the car.
	We had one little cracked something.
	They came here and replaced it.
	That's it.
	So the maintenance is actually super clean and easy and all that stuff.
	It just doesn't seem to have problems.
	As for the charge, It depends, you know, if you're on the highway going super fast, the battery does drain a bit quicker.
	So, like, I've driven across Florida, across Alligator Alley, and we do have to charge once, like, pretty much when you get to the other coast, basically.
	But I just, I absolutely love the Tesla.
	Having everything else that's going on in the world right now, I love the fact that I'm supporting Elon Musk in a very small way, so that's nice too.
	But it's just a super cool car, and once you start driving it, you really do feel like you've It's just a different level than driving a regular car.
	I get it that they're not cheap and it's ridiculous that the government's always trying to push people into electric cars, but it's a really, really freaking cool vehicle, and if you can get one, give it a go.
	And yes, we have a little charger here at home, so I mostly just charge the thing at night, that's it.
	But you know, if you go to stores they have or hotels, Sometimes, you know, they'll charge you overnight or whatever it might be.
	And Tesla has these superchargers throughout the nation.
	So you could literally, I could leave my house from Miami this morning.
	I could put in an address in, say, Los Angeles.
	Not that I'm going back to L.A.
	anytime soon.
	It'll tell you exactly where you have to start, what you'll need in terms of getting the juice at that point, and where you have to go all the way along your path.
	Zionist says, when you were in D.C.
	recently, did you get the sense from your interviewees that they understand that the American people want action and not just more boring, wasteful, endless hearings?
	I did.
	I did.
	I sort of referenced this earlier.
	I sense that the Republicans are going to be a little more aggressive.
	That they are going to push back in the way that Ron DeSantis has pushed back.
	That they have an opportunity here where they didn't quite get the wave that they wanted, but they did get the House.
	Now Sinema leaves.
	She's no longer a Democrat, so that's good on the Senate side.
	Like, there is a little bit of momentum there.
	And they have to do some stuff with it.
	You've got two years to do some stuff with it.
	And, you know, at this point with the Biden administration, we all kind of know what it is.
	It's far more left than most people thought.
	It's seemingly far more incompetent.
	It's extremely radical.
	It's colluding with the government.
	It's screwed up the economy.
	God knows what they'll do with the Ukraine war.
	They've done a whole bunch of stuff, but they really did not pay for it at the ballot box.
	And that, I think, has more to do with the fact that people just still aren't sure what are Republicans.
	Are they Trump Republicans, MAGA Republicans, America First Republicans?
	Is there something that's a little more, say, traditionally Republican?
	Like, what does that battle look like?
	And you also have to just take into account...
	The fact that a certain amount of people are just brainwashed, and they just think that these people are racists and bigots no matter what.
	So you just should lean in.
	That's what I told them in my speech last week.
	It's like, lean into the culture wars.
	Not because you're trying to create a war, but because that's where the freaking thing is being fought.
	You know what I mean?
	The free speech wars, those are important.
	They're not purely political.
	You know, we had 72 senators vote for this and 36, blah, blah, blah.
	It's not that.
	It's like, free speech is important.
	Everyone gets that.
	Fight for free speech.
	Fight for keeping the CDC and the NIH out of your kids' schools.
	Like, fight for the right things and I think you'll be rewarded.
	Ben says, so are the Daves gonna have a brit milah for the boys at the same time or will it be done by age?
	So, brit milah, I believe is the bris, Which we did at eight days for each of them.
	I think you might mean the Bar Mitzvah, which will be when they're 13, and then they become a man.
	I just watched the episode of Seinfeld the other day where the kid, he became a man, then he wanted to kiss Elaine, and she wouldn't do it, so he renounced his Judaism.
	We are going to... That's the plan.
	The kids will have bar mitzvahs.
	I had a bar mitzvah.
	My father had a bar mitzvah.
	My father's father did.
	Going back lots of thousands of years.
	And yeah, hopefully we'll do our best to incorporate that into their lives.
	Florida Man says, with a few states re-implementing mask mandates while the rest of the country is completely open and free, do you think the people will eventually revolt or are they just sitting around begging to be governed harder?
	So I don't know where there's absolute mandatory mask situations right of this moment, but we covered it yesterday.
	It looks like LA is about to bring them back.
	At this point, If you don't realize that you should be responsible for yourself and your family, and that's basically the extent of what you can do, I don't know what to tell you.
	But if you live in LA, and you not only did you maybe vote this stuff in, but even if you didn't vote this stuff in, but you participate in the lie, the nonsense that masks work, or whatever else it is that they're gonna do, or they're gonna start closing schools down again, it's like, It's on you if you're still there.
	I know that sucks and I know everybody's got their own issues related to why they can or cannot move and you've been there for a long time and your family's there and you got kids or you got elderly parents and all those things.
	But it's not going to get better.
	You've got to understand all of the bad actors almost almost without exception.
	That's what was so crazy about it.
	Almost without exception.
	The bad actors, the people who did the most draconian stuff, Whitmer, Hochul, Newsom, etc.
	They all got reelected.
	So what message was sent to them, you know, that night?
	Boy, I did all that stuff.
	They seem to like it.
	I guess I'll do it again.
	Like, that is what they will do.
	And because science has become so cult-like, you know, if you question these people, you're out on your butt.
	They don't want that turned around on them.
	So they are going to just continue to do it.
	They really, really will.
	Amy says, I bought my husband a bottle of Classé Azul for Christmas.
	Very nice.
	But what are some other good sipping tequilas you would recommend?
	I'm so proud of my tequila selection right now.
	We've got a lot of good stuff.
	There is one.
	I wrote it down because I just had a bottle of it the other day.
	It's Fortalizella.
	I want to say it right.
	Fortalizella.
	F-O-R-T-A-L-E-Z-A.
	A whole bunch of people had mentioned Fortalizella to me.
	Over the last couple of months, because I do talk about tequila on the show.
	And Fortalezza apparently is made like the old school way that they made tequila literally like 200 years ago.
	And it was really, really clean and smooth.
	I had the Reposado.
	It wasn't crazy expensive, maybe 55, 60 bucks for the bottle.
	And I really, really enjoyed it.
	Corso is another one that I've been enjoying.
	It's a little more commercial, but it's got a nice, cool, sleek bottle and kind of simple.
	But the Classe Azul, I mean, when you're feeling good and you got a couple bucks in your pocket,
	like you just cannot beat it.
	You cannot beat it.
	We're having our big Rubin Report holiday party here on Thursday night and I just bought, did you guys see it downstairs?
	I bought the massive bottle.
	It's 400 bucks.
	Yeah, you can each have one sip.
	One sip for each.
	Skinny says, should I have been permanently banned on Twitter a few weeks ago for saying there is no such thing as trans men and trans women, only men and women who suffer from mental illness?
	Well, so you were banned.
	I take it that was probably before Elon took over.
	Should you have been banned for that?
	Of course not.
	You're allowed to have feelings about things.
	You're allowed to have thoughts about things.
	You're allowed to make jokes about things.
	Or at least that's the way it used to be.
	So no, you should not be banned for those things.
	If someone does not like that statement, then let them block you or mute you or ignore you, etc.
	But you should be allowed to say such controversial things.
	Meanwhile, did you see this story?
	We didn't even cover this.
	This story about the nuclear waste guy.
	You know, we've got this like polysexual or what is he?
	He, she, pup woman dude who's like the nuclear waste guy and he gets in dresses and he hangs out with Rachel Levine and it turns out that he stole a couple women's luggage bags from the airport and he was just wandering around with them for months.
	Like, what?
unidentified		What?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		CS says, Hey Dave, I'm buying a new house and thinking of doing a month-long unplug.
		Can you recommend a good safe for hiding a phone?
		I don't even know what our safe is.
		It's just kind of a generic safe, but do it, man.
		Well, first off, congrats on the new home.
		And as far as the off the grid thing, do it if you can.
		I mean, try if you want, do it with me in August and we'll get more and more people to do it.
		I know the community will be a little like a ghost town, but you know, it's one of the things that has kept me okay.
		Throughout all of this.
		It really is.
		We are all on an endless, you know, hamster wheel.
		And we're just going and going and going all the time.
		And it gets harder and harder to get off that thing.
		And I think by doing that every month, it's just given me enough space, just enough perspective, you know, just enough room to think about things a little bit differently.
		Understand that, boy, it feels like an awful lot.
		You know, you take one day off.
		The machines and you're like, Oh my God, what did I miss?
		But then, you know, you take five days off and you go, all right, all right, all right.
		I'm still here.
		Two weeks.
		I'm still here a month.
unidentified		Wow.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		The world keeps spinning.
		Bad stuff is going to happen.
		Good stuff's going to happen.
		And it's still happening one way or another.
		So why not try it for yourself and feel some of that calmness and reset and give your brain a break.
		I mean, we just don't know what these things are doing to us.
		We just don't know.
		Eamon says, what underrated tool or tools are indispensable for your job?
		I was thinking about this one.
		Tools.
		I can't refer to you two as tools, can I?
		That's not, that wouldn't be fair.
		Tools.
		I do like the Sharpie.
		I feel the Sharpie is the key to my whole operation.
		I scribble a lot on my papers during the show.
		I draw a lot of concentric circles and play tic-tac-toe with myself.
		I like the Sharpie rather than just a regular pen.
		Even if I'm just writing notes or, you know, if I'm just scribbling something down at night, I keep a notebook by my nightstand and just with some ideas and, you know, I'm trying to like piece together another book and what I would want to do and sketch it together.
		I've always liked the Sharpie.
		Now, don't inhale the Sharpie.
		Not good.
		Not good.
		Summer says, uh, what are some good non-personal Twitter accounts that you follow?
		Non-personal?
		I would say there's one, well this guy Maysmoor who is a great, great meme maker.
		We play a lot of our open, cold opens and cold closes are from Maysmoor.
		He just does a great job of just finding like all of the stuff, all of the lies and exposing all the nonsense.
		So that's M-A-Z-E M-O-O-R-E, if I'm not mistaken, Maysmoor, and there's another account called Clown World,
		which it's just like people doing stupid things, you know, morons sticking their fingers
		in an electric socket or some idiot putting their head, you know, down the path of a subway train
		and getting their head knocked off, you know, that kind of hilarious stuff.
		I like those too, those are big ones.
		And Libs of TikTok, I guess that's not personal, but you know, she's doing an incredible job.
		All this woman does with Libs of TikTok is literally find the crazy people,
		usually gender-related teachers, who are saying insane things
		about what they're doing to their students.
		She just reposts them, sometimes without even commentary.
		And people call that hate speech, and she was one of the most censored people on Twitter, as revealed by the Twitter files.
		And it's like, all she did was repost the stuff.
		Usually people post things online because they want it reposted.
		So it tells you a little bit about the psychology, what's going on over there.
		I mean, that's the question.
		That's the question.
		And that's also sort of relative to the earlier question about what are the Republicans going to do?
		it, see, they were colluding.
		I mean, that's the question.
		That's the question.
		And that's also sort of relative to the earlier question about what are the Republicans going
		to do.
		It's like we have these smoking guns now.
		And it's like if Jack Dorsey specifically, because he's the easiest one to choose here
		because he was the one that was testifying under oath as the CEO of Twitter.
		And now we have this information from Twitter.
		Zuckerberg's done it at a Facebook level.
		We don't have the Facebook files yet.
		If he absolutely lied under oath to Rand Paul, to Ted Cruz, whoever it might be.
		You gotta pay.
		You gotta pay.
		Otherwise, nothing matters.
		We can have these hearings, and I think that's really, in essence, what your question is.
		Like, we have these dog and pony shows.
		We have these hearings, and you're like, ooh, Ted Cruz really got him!
		Or, oh, that moment!
	Look at the way Rand Paul destroyed Fauci!
	And I've played plenty of those things.
	But unless something happens to these people, unless it has some teep, some meaning, then eventually, it's like, well, then what's the point of the show?
	What's the point?
	Why are we paying attention to these things?
	And that's what I really think is going to change with the Republicans.
	I think they're realizing that this is not normal politics anymore.
	Two and a half years after COVID, still going through this nonsense, watching the gaslighting of the American people, the censorship of all of us.
	It's like, if you guys don't do anything here, then as I often say, you don't have to be a Republican, but you can't be a Democrat.
	It's like, at that point, if we go two more years of this and nothing's come out of anything, then you can't really be a Republican either.
	and then they will have left us with a whole new thing that we'll have to think about.
	Elizabeth says, do you and David have any special plans or holiday traditions that you're looking forward to
	sharing with each other and or the boys?
	Well, I can't wait for Christmas.
	You know, we've been working really hard this year, obviously, my whole team and everybody
	and having two babies and it's just been like a lot around here, so having a little time off together
	just to kind of be in the house and like enjoying ourselves and especially now, Justin's four months, Luke's two months,
	Luke is just now coming into himself a little bit more so I can like kind of move him around a little bit more
	and he's like a little more fun.
	Justin was kind of there early on, but my folks are coming down that week
	and my brother's coming with his wife and three kids and my sister and her three kids are all down here,
	so we'll hopefully just all get together and enjoy some good food and relax
	and have a good time.
	And not be on this thing that much and enjoy life.
	And I hope that's what you guys will be doing as well.
	As always, guys, if you have not, subscribe at rumble.com slash RubinReport.
	And if you want to play along and submit questions, you can do that at rubinreport.locals.com.
	And we leave you.
	This one's painful, too.
	We're really just bludgeoning these people.
	We leave you with Hillary Clinton and some other chicks singing.
unidentified		Goodbye.
		You're thinking I could never live without you by my side.
		But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong when I was strong.
		And I learned how to get along in the real back.
		From outer space!
		I just walked in to find you here, when I said, look upon your face!
		I should've changed that stupid lock, I should've made you delete your key!
		If I'd have known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me!
		Go on now, go!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Walk out the door!
