What up, Internet?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
I'm Dave Rubin.
This is the Rubin Report.
It's December 15th in the year 2022, and the big Rubin Report holiday party is tonight.
So we've got to do a tight show so that these fine people can go home and put on their tuxedos and whatever else they're going to do.
There's going to be a lot of tequila this evening.
We are live streaming on Rumble YouTube and Blaze TV.
If you have not subscribed, jump over to Rumble.com slash Rubin Report and RubinReport.com slash Locals, where you can live chat with us.
and get extra bonus video streams, and I posted some pictures of the kids this morning
and all that good stuff.
If you did not know what that cold open was, so that video, which was, I have to admit it was doctored,
misinformation specialist, you know, that was yesterday, Nancy Pelosi was unveiling her portrait
in the Capitol, but the meme makers of the internet, I believe it was the people over at Post Millennial,
they put the picture of non-binary gender fluid Biden nuclear waste official,
and also bag thief criminal, Sam Brinton.
If you've missed this story, it's just so nuts.
So there's this guy or girl or whatever he is, He wears puppy outfits, he's having a good time, lipstick and dresses, the whole thing.
He's also a nuclear waste specialist or something.
And he apparently twice, two times, so you know it's not a mistake,
went on a flight, went down to baggage claim, and took other people's bags.
Did not even check a bag, just went down and stole bags.
So he, I think, has been let go as of yesterday.
So I thought that was just a little fun way to start the show.
And as for what we're doing today, it's gonna be a pickup on a lot of the things
that we've been talking about in general, but sort of specifically yesterday.
Fauci, this Anthony Fauci guy, who is just being exposed left and right
as a fraud and a liar and on the dole and on the take and all of that stuff.
And really as someone who has taken every position on COVID all along the way,
he is now firing back at Governor Ron DeSantis We talked about it yesterday, Governor DeSantis has now commissioned this panel of people, including a couple former guests of this show, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya from Stanford, Brett Weinstein, a couple other people,
To look into vaccine injuries, to look into how the CDC and Fauci himself may have pushed bunk science on us and what that did to the civil rights of Floridians.
So that's actually very exciting.
But it's not just the corruption and the lies of COVID.
We're kind of seeing it everywhere right now, which of course is connected to what Elon Musk is doing
with Twitter, where we're getting more information.
So as I always say, it's like, if you've managed to stay roughly sane
over the last couple of years, I give you a lot of credit.
I would say I'm just roughly sane, like just roughly sane.
That's all you had to do because we were inundated with such misinformation.
The truth was so consistently hidden from us and they pushed nonsensical policies that they knew did not work.
We can only guess why they did it.
Well, I think we can speculate and probably figure out some pretty good reasons.
These people like money and power.
That's basically it.
And we're pushing back, and more and more people are seeing what's what.
And we have to just keep putting the pressure on the private institutions, the public institutions, and much more.
So that's what we're going to be doing today.
Before we get to it, let me talk to you guys about story worth.

And now back to me.
I will tell you guys, so I take the kids in the morning And Justin, I had him this morning.
We do the full bottle.
He's at six ounces right now.
And he's sucking this thing down.
I was like, he is kind of eating this thing fast.
The kid must be starving.
And then I'm trying to burp him.
He spit up.
I mean, all over my face, all over my shirt.
Then I was like, oh, he's spitting up all of me.
I kind of turn around and he spits up all over my shorts.
Anyway, I didn't use hairspray today.
It's just spit up.
It works.
It works.
There's a viscosity to it and a hold that's very impressive.
All right, let's talk about this Anthony Fauci fraud.
Anthony Fraudchi.
He went on CNN yesterday to talk about what Ron DeSantis is doing right here in Florida.
And he's clearly nervous.
And just watch.
If you want to see the beautiful perfection of the mainstream media, watch as the interviewer Asks him an extremely loaded question and clearly is on his side in this whole thing.
kate bolduan ▲ ● ▼
So politicized as COVID-19.
I mean, you've found yourself, we've talked about this many times, at the center of some of that angry debate.
Elon Musk just came at you and attacked you.
But the latest now, Dr. Fauci, is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
He's now asking the Florida Supreme Court to greenlight an investigation into, in the way he put it, is any and all wrongdoing in Florida with respect to COVID-19 vaccines.
What's your reaction to that?
anthony fauci ▲ ● ▼
I don't have a clue, Kate, what he's asking for.
I mean, we have a vaccine that unequivocally is highly effective and safe and has saved literally millions of lives.
It's a very difficult situation.
You're absolutely correct.
It has been politicized, and it has been politicized in a way that has actually caused lives, because if people don't get vaccinated, which unequivocally is life-saving because of political ideology, Everything he said there is a lie.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
It never stops with the guy.
The balls on this bureaucratic buffoon are large.
He has large balls.
I'll give him that.
A couple things there.
First off, the vaccines are not highly effective.
unidentified
Fact check me, fact checkers.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
Joe Biden, last June, if you get the vaccine, you will not get Nor transmit COVID.
That is what Walensky at the CDC told us.
That is what Fauci told us.
That is what virtually every government official told us.
Before this, if you were vaccinated against something, before the COVID vaccine, you did not get the thing.
That's what we all thought vaccine meant.
Oh, you're vaxxed from polio?
You ain't gonna get polio.
unidentified
Polio, polio, vaccine, polio, that way.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
Polio doesn't go this way.
It doesn't get in the system.
But they've literally, literally changed the definition of vaccine because the COVID vaccines do not work as every previous vaccine.
So that's one thing.
Then he says that it saved millions of lives.
There's just no evidence of this.
There is no long-term evidence of this.
There may be some evidence that people of a certain age with some other diseases got some temporary protection from COVID.
Perhaps.
Perhaps.
But there is no evidence that it has saved millions and millions of lives.
I don't think, honestly, at this point, that there's any evidence.
Had we done nothing, And I really mean that.
Absolutely nothing.
We would have known that there's this there's this kind of flute-like thing going around the world and everyone's just gonna kind of get it and just remember everybody, take care of yourself, don't forget to drink a little water, get a little sunshine, exercise every now and again, maybe get up your ass.
I think things probably would have been better.
Well, I think things...
For sure would have been better at a sort of psychological level after the insanity and the gaslighting of the last two and a half years.
And also this idea that we're the ones that politicized this thing.
We politicized it by pushing back on the nonsense.
That's what he's saying.
These people politicize it, meaning the Republicans or conservatives, whatever.
It's like, wait a minute, wait a minute.
First off, in the world we live in now, everything is political.
But if you shut people out of their jobs, if you don't let kids go to school, if somehow teachers unions seem like they're in cahoots with the scientists and all of the CDC and the NIH and everything else, you guys made it political.
We're just calling out your BS.
That's all it is.
So every single thing that he says is a lie.
Oh, and then the big one that they're safe and effective.
OK, I already dealt with the effective part, right?
They're just not effective in any way that we used to think effective meant safe.
Well, I was at the panel, the DeSantis panel, two days ago.
Where he was assembling this group of scientists and doctors to deal with and look into some of these vaccine injuries and much more.
One of the doctors that he had there was ER doctor Joseph Freeman.
He has done many, many studies on this.
As far as I can tell, you could correct me if I'm wrong if you're watching this on the computer machine, nobody is questioning his credentials related to any of this.
And when Fauci says safe, What Dr. Freiman talked about was how Pfizer and Moderna know this, that when they were putting these vaccines out that there was a 1 in 800 chance that there was going to be a highly adverse reaction.
And what he's talking about is heart disease, serious stuff, not just like you're going to be, you know, you're going to have aches and pains for a day or two like you might have if you got the flu vaccine, something like that.
One in 800.
Now, you may say, well, one in 800, that doesn't sound that bad.
Well, when it comes to other vaccines, like the polio vaccine and things of that nature, it's one in a million.
That is a massive, extraordinary difference.
One in 800, and we're forcing the vaccine on all these people that don't need it, on top of all the myocarditis stuff and all that.
But one in 800 is very, very different than one in a million.
But that's what these people do.
But let's continue, because I don't want to focus too much on Fauci.
I don't like him very much.
Why am I talking about him so much?
Let's move on to some other people that aren't very good.
You guys all know this story about FTC, which was the crypto exchange run by this absolute charlatan by the name of Sam Bankman Freed.
Collapsed.
It basically was an incomplete Ponzi scheme where they were taking money from people, putting it in essence into like this shell company that did nothing.
And they were buying all sorts of properties and his parents became rich and they've moved all sorts of money.
Nobody knows where any of the money is.
He got all kinds of people involved in this thing.
Celebrities, athletes, Tom Brady got screwed on this thing, a whole bunch more.
Well, anyway, he was supposed to testify in front of Congress yesterday But magically, he got arrested the day before, so was unable to do so.
Here is video of SDNY attorney Damian Williams detailing the charges against Sam Bankman-Freed.
unidentified
Now, let me say a little bit more about what we allege in the indictment.
First, we charge that from 2019 until earlier this year, Bankman-Freed and his co-conspirators stole billions of dollars from FTX customers.
He used that money for his personal benefit, including to make personal investments and to cover expenses and debts of his hedge fund, Alameda Research.
Secondly, and relatedly, we charge that Bankman Freed lied to Alameda's lenders about the source of the money that he was using to pay those debts.
Third, we charge that earlier this year, in the midst of the crypto crisis, Bankman Freed lied to investors in FTX about the fact that he had sent billions of dollars in FTX customer money to Alameda.
And fourth, we charge that Bankman Freed violated federal campaign finance laws by causing tens of millions of dollars in illegal campaign contributions to be made to candidates and committees associated with both Democrats and Republicans.
These contributions were disguised to look like they were coming from wealthy co-conspirators, when in fact, the contributions were funded by Alameda Research with stolen customer money.
And all of this dirty money was used in service of Bankman Freed's desire to buy bipartisan influence and impact the direction of public policy.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
OK, so this is pretty powerful stuff with this guy.
This story, you may be watching this story and going, well, wait a minute, there's always fraud on Wall Street and crypto sounds kind of shady and people involved in finances do all sorts of weird stuff.
And we've heard about Madoff and Ponzi schemes and all the rest of it.
But what really is interesting about this is how connected this guy was to the political elite and that this story did not break.
Shocker, this story did not break till the day after the midterm elections, when all the checks were cashed, all the analysts and the advisors were paid, and everybody got their little piece.
The day after, suddenly, oh my, it does turn out that this guy who didn't really have a product, who's been put on every TV show, and we're told he's Jesus too, he's actually a massive charlatan.
So, you know, you could say, all right, he stole billions, he used it for personal He lied to lenders.
He lied to investors.
The big one is the campaign finance stuff.
So we've got a little bit more from Fox News on that.
Two of the biggest Democrat beneficiaries of disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried's campaign donations reportedly won't say whether they plan to return the donations.
In total, Bankman-Fried reportedly spent upward of $40 million on campaign donations in the 2022 midterm cycle, with the vast majority going to Democrats.
The disgraced crypto billionaire was arrested in the Bahamas on Monday evening, just as federal prosecutors in New York filed charges against him.
The U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission also filed charges against Bankman Freed on Tuesday.
In total, Bankman Freed faces charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud on customers, Committing Wire Fraud on Customers, Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud on Lenders, Committing Wire Fraud on Lenders, Conspiracy to Commit Commodities Fraud, Conspiracy to Commit Securities Fraud, Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering, and Conspiracy to Defraud the U.S.
and Violate Campaign Finance Laws, and Conspiracy to Have the Worst Haircut I've Ever Seen.
Uh look this is a big story because he was stealing money not only using it for all his own selfish purposes okay fine that's that's like corrupt guy 101 but he was buying influence with politicians and as the uh Attorney in New York said he was doing it on both sides.
However, it was wildly, wildly pro-Democrat.
And by the way, many, many politicians, this is something Donald Trump talked an awful lot about in 2015 and 2016, an awful lot of rich people buy influence on both sides.
Like you might give more to the guy you really want in, but you also want to hedge your bets.
So Trump used to say, well, I would give money to Democrats and Republicans.
Hillary, I used to give money to you.
Now you tell me I'm a Nazi because they're hedging their bets.
You might want one.
person to win a little bit more. Generally, they want Democrats to win a little bit more because
they're more part of the machine and the machine's been pretty good to super wealthy people. I know
that's a little counterintuitive relative to taxes, but that's generally how it works.
But he was the second largest Democrat donor. He was in the Democrat machine. Here he is
with lovely lady Maxine Waters. I mean, look at this guy.
unidentified
Look.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
What a clown show.
Who are these people?
Anyway, yesterday, the hearing that he was supposed to be at but did not get to because he has now been arrested.
What a wonderful coincidence that was.
So he wasn't able to testify under oath.
Maxine Waters is on the committee that was leading this thing.
And she, who has defended him, who got money from him.
How much is Maxine Waters worth?
Maxine Waters, who is a representative in the LA suburb, which is one of the poorest suburbs.
She doesn't live there though.
She lives in Hancock Park, which is one of the richest areas in all of LA.
She's gotta be worth at least 20 million.
I'm gonna throw out 20 million.
She's been in Congress forever.
How much is it?
Five?
No, 50?
She's worth a cool 10 million.
I don't know how she did that on a mere government salary.
Anyway, she was part of the hearing yesterday and basically she was trying to silence other representatives who wanted to ask questions.
It's really rather remarkable and just smug, gross, awful lady.
unidentified
go.
Are all members entitled to question witnesses?
You are, and if you would like to miss the votes on the floor for everybody... Hey, it's the Chairwoman's prerogative to call a recess.
Just one moment, please.
That's your decision, not mine.
Just one moment, please.
You may go right ahead and have five minutes.
Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
You're certainly welcome, sir.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
You're certainly welcome, sir.
She's just awful.
Gooden had every right to ask questions and have his voice heard and everything else, but you... Very odd to me.
Why would she want to shut this thing down real quick?
And, uh, you know, for those of you, I haven't done a Star Wars reference in a while, that was literally a scene from Star Wars, the prequels.
Yeah, I'm going to the prequels.
Remember in Phantom Menace when there's the Trade Federation blockade of Naboo and Queen Abydala takes it to the Senate and they're up there and she's pleading her case.
She's going, you know, they're the separatists, they're blocking us, you know, what are we gonna do?
We, they're attacking us, all this stuff.
We have no weapons.
And then Chancellor Valerian standing there, just like Maxine Waters is.
And then this guy comes in his ear and whispers something to him,
which is exactly what that woman did to Maxine Waters.
And next thing you know, nothing happens.
These people are terrible.
I don't like them very much.
Let's continue because Sam Bankman-Fried.
And again, you may say, well, all right, it doesn't matter.
So he gave money to politicians.
So he's corrupt.
So all of this stuff always happens.
So crypto is a scam.
You might think all of that stuff.
But why is it that this guy was so beloved by the system?
That's the real question.
Why is it that this guy was on every podcast?
Why was it that this guy was on every TV show, every media organization was writing glowing reviews of this guy?
Why was that?
Here's a compilation of the giant suck job that these people were doing on him.
andrew ross sorkin ▲ ● ▼
You've been now described as the J.P.
Morgan, if you will, of the crypto business.
unidentified
A lot of people called you the savior of crypto, the patron saint of crypto.
The Michael Jordan of crypto, if you will.
Sam Bankman Freed.
Sam Bankman Freed, the J.P.
Morgan of?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
Sam Bankman Freed, S.B.F., J.P.M.
unidentified
Do you know S.B.F.?
I think it's cool that the guy has just initials, S.B.F.
kate bolduan ▲ ● ▼
Some on Twitter calling him the hero right now of the industry.
unidentified
There's comparisons to Warren Buffett back in the financial crisis.
andrew ross sorkin ▲ ● ▼
Or if you go way back, J.P.
unidentified
Morgan in the panic of 1907, bailing out the banks before the Fed was even created.
Same bank retreat is trying to play the role of J.P.
andrew ross sorkin ▲ ● ▼
Morgan.
unidentified
The original J.P.
Morgan.
One key figure we've talked about has emerged to help stabilize the ecosystem.
That is Sam Bankman Freed.
andrew ross sorkin ▲ ● ▼
We talk about him a lot.
joe biden ▲ ● ▼
Sam Bankman Freed.
unidentified
Is he the Jake Gould of our era or is he the JP Morgan of our era?
andrew ross sorkin ▲ ● ▼
I think it's yet to be determined.
unidentified
Yet to be determined.
andrew ross sorkin ▲ ● ▼
Is he Vanderbilt?
joe biden ▲ ● ▼
He could be.
unidentified
Is he Harriman?
Possibly.
Is he the Credit Mobile scandal?
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼
Is he Carnegie?
unidentified
The aforementioned 29-year-old gazillionaire, FTX founder and CEO, Sam Bankman Freed.
I love you, Sam.
I'm just jealous.
Nothing against you.
kate bolduan ▲ ● ▼
The CEO though lives a relatively understated life.
unidentified
For a billionaire, he drives a Toyota Corolla to FTX's offices in the Bahamas.
He lives with ten roommates and a golden doodle named Gopher.
Sometimes sleeps under his desk on a beanbag chair as well.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
You know, I'm not an incredible investor.
I don't have a lot in the market.
I don't try to do some things with property.
I believe in physical things.
That's my thing.
But I don't think I would have given that guy money.
Oh, he's sleeping under his desk?
He has the body of a 70-year-old man while he's 26?
His haircut looks like it was given to him by a criminally insane person?
Everything about the whole thing read as so freaking weird.
Have any of these people offered apologies?
Have any of these people had mea culpas?
Have any of these people been like, boy, I really got bamboozled on that one.
But now I want to connect this to something more broad, which is that certain people of a certain political belief are loved by the system.
This is the idea of factory settings.
If you just kind of grow up in America, let's say over the last 40 years, the culture is so skewed to the left, towards the Democrats, towards liberals, that the default position is, oh, that must be good.
And then anytime anyone wakes up out of that, then you're thought of as the bad guy, which is why, to go to what we were talking about earlier, Fauci can do all of this bad shit, get all of this stuff wrong, really just have no regard for individual rights or a constitution or anything like that.
But it's only politicized in his view when we push back, because the default position is always the position of the left.
And if you want a great example of that, MRCTV put together a really nice compilation.
You may know that the Daily Show host, Trevor Noah, who has hosted the show for I think the last seven years
since Jon Stewart stepped away, and it went from being sort of a cultural icon,
whether you watched it or not, whether you like Jon Stewart or not,
whether you thought it was good or not, it was a sort of mainstream place
where politics was heard and talked about and it was thought as the most sort of
irreverent political comedy on television.
Basically, Trevor Noah takes over and the things become completely irrelevant.
So they're finally getting rid of him and it's fairly obvious they would have gotten rid of him
years ago, but because of the identity politics game, like clearly they couldn't do that,
which is also why he got the job in the first place, because there were plenty of other qualified,
actually funny people that could have got it.
Anyway, MRCTV did a little compilation on this and a study on how many guests he had on
that were political by nature and whether they were left or.
or right, liberal or conservative, or much more.
Here's a little info for you.
During his seven-year tenure as host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, Trevor Noah brought a reliably liberal bias to the program a Newsbusters study has found.
MRC analysts found that from when Noah began hosting the show in September of 2015 through his final show in December of 2022, Noah had on 159 partisan guests Including 109 unique individuals.
Of these 159 guests, 137, or 86.16%, were Democrats or in some way affiliated with the Democrat Party.
Now, I want to be clear.
I mostly at this point in my career have right-leaning guests on, obviously.
We try to get Democrats on all the time.
I would love to have AOC on.
I would love to have Joe Biden on.
I'll have Ilhan Omar and the head of Hamas, what's her name, all of them.
I'll do all that stuff.
They don't generally want to talk.
But I'm not hiding what my political bias are.
Comedy Central is thought of as, I suppose, an apolitical network, but everything they
gave you. Everything they made feel normal was from a leftist perspective.
No one's coming here like I'm bamboozling you as to what I believe.
I tell you what I believe every second of every day.
Anyway, here's a little compilation of Trevor Noah's left-wing bias.
unidentified
Does this ever get, like, tired?
Just walking around and people cheering for you when you walk into rooms?
There seems to be this feeling where you walk around the country and people go, it's a little bit of like, oh, but it's also like, yay!
Gender change is not a trend, all right?
It's been around for thousands of years.
But if it was, why does the church care about it so much?
First of all, transgender people can reproduce.
And secondly, again, why do you care, right?
You don't even let your people reproduce, right?
Nuns aren't allowed to have sex, right?
Priests can't get little boys pregnant.
That same Supreme Court ruling that struck down Roe v. Wade, it also opened the door to future rulings that could overturn other rights, right?
Things like the right to gay marriage, uh, interracial marriage.
And contraception.
Here's the amazing part.
For South Africa to achieve that kind of black-white wealth gap, we had to construct an entire apartheid state denying blacks the right to vote or own property.
But you, you did it without even trying.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
You know, one of the things that I find interesting about this guy, actually probably the only thing I find interesting about this guy, is that, you know, I'm very aware when I've toured all over the world, especially when I was on tour with Jordan Peterson, if I was in someone else's country, you might say something about like the food or this or that, but I went out of my way not to insult the country, even to not insult the leaders.
I think maybe the one little caveat on that was I did go pretty hard after Trudeau when we were in Canada, but Canada and America I almost consider one thing at this point.
This guy, he comes here, Moves to this country to just rip our country apart relentlessly and endlessly.
By the way, that line at the beginning where he said to Hillary, what's it like to go everywhere and be applauded?
I actually puked in my mouth a little bit.
So I've been spit up on twice today and I had to swallow my own vomit.
That's where I'm at today, guys.
That's what's going on over here.
Anyway, this constant fear mongering of they're going to reverse interracial marriage and they're coming after gay marriage.
Yes.
Uh, that's what they're doing.
That's really what they're doing.
It's just it's it's incredible.
Anyway, the Senate passed this Defense of Marriage Act, even though it's already Supreme Court law.
There's a lot of people saying that that it's actually what they've now passed will be an affront to religious liberty.
Let's just put that aside for a moment.
But just listen to the hysteria yesterday at the at the White House, the elderly man pretending to be President Joe Biden.
Talking about gays and what's happening to gays in America.
joe biden ▲ ● ▼
When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon, this is still wrong.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
First off, nobody gets married in the morning.
People get married, you're gonna get married in the afternoon to the evening usually.
Very few weddings take place in the morning, so I just like to, you know, technically I think he's making a little bit of a mistake there.
Um, there is no evidence.
We did a whole bunch of Googling yesterday, um, of gay people being kicked out of restaurants.
Okay, we have the Equality Act, like, from 1963, something like that.
Um, nobody's being kicked out of restaurants for these things.
It's so nonsensical.
You're not gonna believe this, guys.
Most people, when they open up a restaurant, or you open up a shoe shop,
you open up some sort of store, you're not trying to figure out the sexuality
of the people that are coming to buy product.
You're really just trying to move product, make a little profit, get a little scratch in your pocket,
have a nice weekend.
That's usually what you're trying to do.
You're not trying to open up a waffle house and be like, oh my God,
those lesbians got married this morning.
No waffles for them.
It's just nonsense.
But this is what they do with absolutely everything.
Now, it's one thing, just this like pandering nonsense around the gays.
They're coming for your marriage and they're coming for interracial marriage and all that.
But what the Democrats really love more than anything right now, it's so sick and twisted, but they freaking love it, is chopping off kids' genitals.
And they want to chop off When hospitals, libraries, and community centers are threatened and intimidated because they support LGBTQ children and families, we have to speak out.
joe biden ▲ ● ▼
When hospitals, libraries, and community centers are threatened and intimidated,
excuse me, because they support LGBTQ children and families, we have to speak out. We must stop
unidentified
the hate and violence like we just saw in Colorado Springs, where a place of acceptance and celebration
was targeted for violence and terror.

We need to challenge the hundreds of callous, cynical laws introduced in the states targeting transgender children, terrifying families, and criminalizing doctors who give children the care they need.
We have to protect these children so they know they're loved and we will stand up for them and say they can seek for themselves.

First off, he just doesn't know what he's saying.
He's babbling all the usual stuff.
He coughs into his hand more than anybody.
Is there literally anyone in America that coughs in their hand more than Joe Biden, right?
But he does this.
OK.
The gall to say that the people, literally the people who want to chop off children's genitals.
So you get an 11 year old boy and he's like, you know, I feel like a girl.
I like Barbie more than I like Transformers.
How was that, my 11-year-old impression?
I thought that was solid.
And then the doctor's like, all right, we're going to put you on puberty blockers, and I think we'll start getting the process going to chop your nuts off.
That's the doctor that Joe Biden thinks is good.
Why is it that we would affirm every little thing that an 11-year-old thinks about anything?
And this is why I say this all the time, but this is why I hate this thing, this LGBTQ+.
It has nothing to do with me.
I know plenty of gay people that are decent people, that are parents, that are functioning members of society, that would prefer not to change kids' genders, that would prefer not to have a bunch of whack job drag queens.
Why don't drag queens do anything else?
How about a drag queen go to an actuary event?
How about at the National Accounting Association annual gala in Hawaii?
Why don't they have a bunch of drag queens there?
Why don't drag queens do a bunch of reading of history books for high school kids?
Because they know they'd be freaked out by it.
But we can do it and we can abuse these four-year-old kids.
They've conflated these issues so that the very people who are defending children, you are defending children if you are trying to make sure that they don't alter themselves in a way that they cannot imagine.
I cannot imagine, and we've played a video once or twice before of Jordan Peterson
talking about the trans issue, and one of the things he says is,
even if you were to take the, whatever it might be, it's something like .001% of people who are actually trans,
like they are fully trans, and they've dealt with all the psychological,
they've gone to psychologists, like they've really done all the work,
and they really, fully, fundamentally believe They are in the wrong body.
Meanwhile, it's exploding by like 1000% across the country.
So there's obviously a social conditioning element to it.
But even if you just took that person, The idea that if they take puberty blockers, if they massacre their body, chop off their breasts, chop off their genitals,
Add genitals, all of the stuff that somehow on the other side they will be happier and better off for it.
That is, we don't know that either.
And there is a huge movement of detransitioners right now.
But let's get away from that for just a moment and just here's just general Biden gibberish nonsense.

And a special thanks to our performers, Joy, Sam, and Cindy.
Look, you know, at a gay man's choir in Washington, D.C.
Gay man's married.

Yeah, whatever, okay, that's just usual nonsense.
Here's Nancy Pelosi, and she has to tell the audience when to applause because they don't really get her.
unidentified
All this is easy for you because you're from San Francisco, and that's an applause line.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
You're from San Francisco.
You can get crack and meth and heroin wherever you want it.
Here's Cyndi Lauper.
She was a big star in 1986 and she sang at the event and I'm starting to think that maybe she should have retired in 1987.
unidentified
I can see your true colors.
That's why I love you.
I love you so don't be afraid!
Power to all the people!
Now settle down, you nutbag!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
I'd like to give a special shout out right now, I normally don't do this during the show,
but to our back-end YouTube Rumble Guy, Chris.
Chris, I know it was discussed before the show whether we were going to play that Cyndi Lauper clip, because you love Cyndi Lauper.
And look, Cyndi Lauper, 1986, when she was doing stuff with Captain Lou Albano in what
was then the WWF wrestling, I liked her too.
But the woman has lost her mind.
She has just lost her mind, like most of these people do.
So now let's move over, because this thing is, this weird trans thing that Joe Biden
feels so passionately about, and he so wants to ensure that doctors can do things to children
without the parent knowing what's going on.
It's leaking into every part of society, and it's really, really nuts.
Here is a woman by the—well, I assume she's a woman.
She looks like a woman to me, but she might have a penis.
Who knows anymore?
Her name is Jessie Pocock.
A woman by the name of Jessie Pocock.
cock.
She is the CEO and Executive Director of Inside Out Youth Services Advocacy Organization.
And she was being questioned on C-SPAN about whether parents have rights related to their children going through these processes and whether parents should know that their kids are on hormones, etc.
Once again, we are doing a trans segment here and the expert, her name is Jessie Pocock.
Pocock.
unidentified
It sounds like you're deflecting the question a little bit.
I understand cases of abuse.
There's laws to protect the abuse.
I mean, schools actually are legally obligated to report cases of abuse, same for churches and the like, anyone who deals with young people.
But, you know, Do parents have a right?
Should they be informed about what's going on?
Do they have a right to know what's going on in their kids' lives?
Those of us who are protecting and supporting young people are there and trusted with the information of the things that they are dealing with.
In terms of parents' rights to know at schools, I mean, here in Colorado, parents don't have the right.
If a young person is questioning their gender or their sexuality, there are laws in place that say that they have the right to process that with their trusted counselor and so forth.
So you do a significant amount of your work with kids even starting at age 13?
Yeah.
What would be the age of consent then in your mind?
In our community, the age of consent to mental health therapy is 12 years old.

So the woman who wants to talk to your children about transitioning and sexuality and everything else, just one more time, her name is Mrs. Pocock, could have been Mocock or Lescock, that would have made more sense.
She believes that, as she said, that we have people who are protecting and supporting kids.
I could have sworn that was the job of the parent.
I don't want Pocock talking to my children.
Pocock will not come near my children.
And Pocock shouldn't come near your children.
Do you think that there's any chance, as the representative laid out there?
So she thinks a 13-year-old can walk into her office And ask about puberty blockers, surgery, etc, etc.
Do you think there is any chance that when that happens... So let's say it's a girl.
I did a boy last time, so let's say it's a girl, right?
So a little girl comes in and she says, you know, I feel like a boy.
I feel I'm 13 years old.
I feel like a boy.
I like baseball.
I don't really like dresses, whatever.
Do you think there's any chance in high hell that Pocock and her minions Say you know what actually you're just going through a phase and by the way there are some girls that like baseball and sometimes they turn out to be lesbian sometimes not there you know there's a whole spectrum of things these are the people who love like the whole spectrum and diversity and equality of everything and all that stuff but for some reason with gender and sex if you feel a little bit different if you're not freaking you know nail polish blonde and doing your thing then you are automatically a dude it's
Absolutely crazy, and these people should have nothing to do with anyone else's children.
And if you don't realize what damage this is doing to people,
here's something from the Daily Mail, and this guy's been making the rounds.
Ex-Navy SEAL who transitioned from male to female says he's now transitioning back,
blasts Virginia, or the VA, sorry, blasts the VA for giving him hormones
after an hour-long consultation and calls sex change the worst mistake of my life.
So there he is on the left there as a man.
There he is as a chick, and now there he is as a man again, or chick-man, whatever.
This is out of control, this stuff.
It's out of control.
But they're not going to stop with this.
And just try to imagine, if they've taken us this far now, where are they going to be at in two years?
That really is the question.
That really is the question.
So what is the answer?
You guys know I like answers and I like solutions and I like doing stuff about things instead of just talking about it.
So what do you do?
You elect people who will fight for you.
You elect people who will make sure that they will get this nonsense out of schools and they will fight the woke corporations that are injecting this into all of our cultural apparatus.
One of those guys is Ron DeSantis.
I happened to talk to him back in June in Orlando, home of Walt Disney and his crazy company.
Here's what DeSantis said.
You may remember this.

But I think Disney took it one step further when they put out this incredible statement after they already did all their virtue signaling after we signed the bill saying this was somehow a violation of human rights and that they would work to see that parents' rights and education were repealed through the legislature.
And I'm just thinking to myself, you know, I took an oath to support the laws and constitution of the U.S.
and the state of Florida.
I did not.
Take an oath to subcontract out my leadership to a corporation based in Burbank, California.
They don't run this state.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
OK, now that's talk, right?
And what do I always say?
I don't just like talk.
So what did he do?
He actually started going after Disney, going after their special benefits.
Disney has all sorts of special benefits, tax breaks, their own police force, all sorts of crazy stuff that they got, you know, 50, 60 years ago in Orlando here in Florida.
He went after them.
And then all sorts of people kind of got behind him.
And people started canceling Disney Plus and stopped watching their movies and buying their stuff.
So you know what happened?
Disney fired their CEO, Bob Chapik.
We showed you a bunch of videos with that clown.
And I said, I said months ago, six months ago, this guy, this will not end well for him.
He got eaten up by the woke diversity machine.
And then Disney, just in the last month or so, they brought in former Disney CEO.
So former and now future Disney CEO Bob Iger, just about a month ago.
And he's already reversing course because he's afraid of backlash,
both politically and financially related to his company.
unidentified
Here's a virtual question.
Many cast members had wished that Disney stayed out of politics.
Will Disney stay out of making political statements?
You know, I think there's a misperception here about what politics is, and I think that some of the subjects that have proven to be controversial as it relates to Disney have been branded political, and I don't necessarily believe they are.
I don't think when you are telling stories and attempting to be a good citizen of the world that that's political.
Just not how I view it.
Do I like the company being embroiled in controversy?
Of course not.
It can be distracting, and it can have a negative impact on the company.
And to the extent that I can work to kind of quiet things down, I'm going to do that.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
OK, so it's super interesting there because he's not like outwardly being like, I'm done with all of this woke crap and everything else, but he's kind of saying it.
Now, we'll see what Disney does.
What was the movie that crashed and burned with Disney in the last two weeks?
Strange World.
So they had a super woke movie that came out about two, three weeks ago that completely flopped.
Right.
So hope.
But obviously that was in the can way before he took over.
So hopefully he will make some adjustments.
But DeSantis counter contrary to what a lot of media was reporting, he's not turning around
on any of these things.
He's not giving him any of those special benefits back.
But the point is, they are changing course because we fought back.
Next time, when the next election cycle rolls around and Disney and the execs and the board, they're all looking at the numbers and they're like, well, we'd like to fund a whole bunch of candidates.
We probably shouldn't go against this DeSantis guy.
Because he just won Florida by 20 points, and people have had it with us, and our numbers are dropping, and on top of the fact that the economy is kind of sputtering along, we do have some fiduciary responsibility to the board, to the shareholders, and we better make note of that.
So you fight back, people, that is what you do.
Have I been clear about my feelings today?
Feel clear?
Pretty solid?
Okay.
Tony Allegra, we've got some comments from the rubinreport.locals.com community.
Tony says, dude was a billionaire and couldn't afford a hairstylist.
Can you pull up that picture again, Conor?
The picture of the four of them just standing there together.
Yeah, look at this clown!
This way his suit fits, his body looks like you could just put your finger through it.
The haircut, they thought this was Jesus too.
Ridiculous.
Speaking of haircuts, I have not been able to get a great haircut here in Florida.
You know what happened.
Connor and I have been going to the same guy, and he doesn't speak English.
And God bless him.
I don't need to talk that.
I talk for a living, so I don't need to talk when I'm getting my haircut.
And he gave me a couple of decent ones, but then the last haircut that he... I should have got to bust it out the picture.
He literally, like, zagged me over here to get, you know, because there's a lot of Cubans down here, a lot of Venezuelans.
They like these, you know, like, zing zang zoom things.
And then he was doing my beard and he sprayed my beard.
I looked like Tony Bettis.
Wait, not Tony Bettis.
What was his name?
What was the name of the football player?
Jerome Bettis!
Jerome Bettis!
Remember Jerome Bettis?
He had this very intense beard.
Anyway, Phoenix's girlfriend's moving here and she's a stylist, so we're gonna fix this situation ASAP.
Elizabeth says, there's fraud in campaigns.
Who would have thought?
Big gasp, much shock.
Yeah, it's wild.
And they give money to everybody.
As I said, there's this hedging of the bets, right?
You don't always go all in on one side.
Some people do.
But, you know, the more clever people, they're giving money to everybody.
And Trump was very, very clear and clean about that when he was running the first time around about how this whole thing works.
Hillary, I used to give you money.
Hillary, you used to call me for money.
Yeah, it's a corrupt system and you just gotta pilfer some truth out of it and then figure out a way to remain sane
and happy and all that good stuff.
Matt says Trevor Noah is the anti-matter of humor.
Yeah, I mean on top of everything else he's deeply unfunny.
Like, you could have completely polar opposite political opinions as me and I could still recognize that you're
and I could still recognize that you're funny.

The other shows, if you look at Colbert, you look at, who political opinions as me,
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼
if you look at Colbert, you look at, who else is on late night even anymore?
Kimmel or whatever, you look at any of these clowns, they have staffs, I kid you not,
probably 50 to 100 people, if not more, on those programs.
Gutfeld has about five people.
There are three camera guys, he's got like two writers and a warmup guy.
I go, there's a makeup girl.
He's got about six people and he's got the number one show in late night, not just by a little bit, but by crazy wide margins, which just goes to show if you do something real and what I love about Greg and the show, it's just like it's loose and it's funny and it's silly and it's not overly scripted and rehearsed and all that stuff.
And he lets me do whatever the hell I want for better or worse.
Anyway, if you want to join us for a live chat during the show, rubinreport.locals.com.
And we did give you a couple flummoxed Joe Bidens during this show, but we got one more for you on the cold close.
And then the Rubin Report holiday party is tonight.
There will be much tequila.
And I'll see you tomorrow, everybody.
Adios.
