unidentified		Today I'm Dave Rubin.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		This is The Rubin Report.
		It's May 18th, 2023.
		We're live-streaming on Rumble YouTube and Locals.
		If you haven't joined us yet, I implore you people, that's right, implore, I-M-P-L-O-R-E, you to join us at rubinreport.locals.com for the post-game show, for ad-free content, for early access, live chats, and other goodies.
		The theme of the show today, ladies and gentlemen, is that if you have ever drank a beer, or you know anyone who's ever drank a beer, you're gay.
		That's right.
		You're gay.
		You might be married to someone of the opposite sex.
		You may never have done anything gay, so to speak, but you're pretty gay.
		And they want you to be gay, and they're going to make you gay through their advertising and their beer.
		It's all Very weird.
		And it's not just beers, by the way.
		If you've ever driven a car, you're gay.
		Beer, car, they say you shouldn't drink or drive, but if you've done either of these things together, separately, does not matter, you're a big homo.
		That's the one thing.
		And then, of course, we're going to show you some solutions to this onslaught of insanity that is just everywhere.
		I should preface at the top of the show that I don't have a problem if you're gay.
		Not a problem.
		My husband's gay.
		Not a big deal to me.
		But, you know, I don't know that every advertisement on television has to be promoting the homos.
		So, there we go.
		First, we will start with an ad, and then get to it.
		Guys, let's talk about Birch Gold Group.
		You know, President Trump recently issued a warning from his Mar-a-Lago home, quote,
		our currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world standard, which will be
		our greatest defeat, frankly, in 200 years.
		There are three reasons the central banks are dumping the US dollar.
		Inflation, deficit spending, and our insurmountable national debt.
		The fact is there is one asset that has withstood famine, wars, and political and economic upheaval dating back to biblical times.
		That's gold.
		And you can own it in a tax sheltered retirement account with the help of Birch Gold.
		That's right.
		Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k, maybe from a previous employer into an IRA in gold.
		And the best part, you don't pay a penny out of pocket.
		Just visit birchgold.com slash Dave today to get your free info kit.
		They'll hold your hand through the entire process.
		Think about this, when currencies fail, gold is a safe haven.
		How much more time does the dollar have?
		Protect your savings with gold like I did.
		Birch Gold has an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and thousands of happy customers.
		Visit birchgold.com today to get your free info kit on gold.
		That's birchgold.com slash Dave.
		And now back to me.
		Okay, so you've seen it.
		We've played a couple of these and they are just going wild everywhere.
		Every two seconds, there is another gay beer.
		There is another gay car.
		There is another gay this, gay that.
		Everything is freaking gay.
		It's very strange.
		And by the way, guys, it's only the middle of May.
		Do you know what's coming in June?
		That's when everyone goes gay because it's Pride Month.
		So if you think it's getting gay now, you have no idea what you're in for in about 12 days.
		Bernie goes gay.
		Everybody gets gay.
		Biden, the whole shebang.
		Anyway, Miller Lite, you saw some of this.
		We played some of their woke ad campaign yesterday.
		Joe Rogan had Navy SEAL Jack Carr on.
		I've had Jack Carr, author Jack Carr, on the show and they were dissecting some of Miller Lite's woke ad campaign.
		Thought we'd play a little bit of their analysis and then we'll show you some videos.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		They don't learn.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		No one learns.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's just in general, I think.
unidentified		It's kind of those taking lessons from the past and applying them going forward as wisdom.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		How about lessons from a week ago?
unidentified		I know.
		It's not even the past.
		It's like a couple days ago.
		They're going to turn it into good.
		Mulch.
		Yeah, that's it.
		First to brew beer ever.
		From Mesopotamia to the Middle Ages to Colonial America.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		They're saying women brewed beer.
unidentified		They said they were the first?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Women were the ones doing the brewing.
unidentified		Centuries later, how did the industry pay homage to the founding mothers of beer?
		They put us in bikinis.
		With awesome pictures like that is how.
		She looks hot.
		Yeah.
		I mean, look at that.
		Those are great ads.
		Those are great ads.
		Miller Lite's on a mission to make sure no one buys their stuff.
		Oh my goodness.
		They're scouring the internet and buying it back.
jack carr ▲ ● ▼		Because that's easy to do once you get an image up there on the internet.
unidentified		So what is she saying?
		Keep compost to warms.
		Hmm.
		Push it out.
		Beautiful fertilizer.
		Ah.
		Interesting.
		Yeah.
		It helps farmers grow quality hops.
		Yeah.
		Which has been donated to women brewers to make their own really good shit.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		But there's definitely more shit out there.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		In your attic, in the garage, in your parents' basement.
unidentified		Send any shit you got into Miller Lite and they'll turn that into good shit too.
		Oh.
		So here's to women, because without us, there would be no beer.
		Wow.
		Oh, God.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		I hate identity politics with a passion.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		I really do.
unidentified		It's pretty interesting.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		It's so stupid.
unidentified		Oh, my Lord.
unidentified		It's that human beings made beer, okay?
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		And some human beings look good in bikinis.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		It's like, what are we doing?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It's crazy.
unidentified		Women do it.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		It's pretty wild.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I'd like to see a pie chart of how many women are actually involved in making beer or drink.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I also would like to see the pie chart of how many women are at home making beer.
		Look, the whole ad campaign is ridiculous.
		Rogan is right.
		This identity politics thing, this woke thing, I hate it with a passion.
		And it has destroyed so much.
		And it's destroying these companies from the inside.
		We know what wokeness through gender has done to Disney, right?
		Watching their stock collapse, watching thousands, literally thousands, hundreds of thousands of people canceling Disney+, not going to the parks, now in the fight with Florida, and they've lost a bunch of their special regulations and tax exemptions and a whole bunch more.
		And now these beer companies going woke.
		I mean, first off, who do you think, if you're Bud Light or you're Miller Light or you're Coors Light or any of these freaking beers, who do you think buys your beer?
		Do you think it's mostly women or mostly men?
		It's obviously mostly men.
		It's mostly men who look kind of like Joe Rogan or Jack Carr.
		It's not mostly women who are like the chick in the ad.
		What's her name again?
		Alana Glazer or something?
		It's like, what are they possibly thinking?
		But they are actually self-immolating.
		They're pouring gasoline on their heads and they're destroying their products.
		Bud Light cannot get off the shelves right now.
		They have completely freaking wrecked the company.
		And this thing about how it's somehow bad If you are messaging and trying to sell something to dudes, bet you might show a chick.
		Look, it's not my thing.
		But if you're a guy and you're into chicks, it's cool.
		It's old school.
		Good for you.
		It's just great.
		You like chicks in bikinis.
		And they make you want to drink beer.
		Though you probably shouldn't drink that much beer because you're going to get a beer belly and chicks in bikinis usually want a fitter dude.
		So there's some issues there.
		But that's not the point.
		They are destroying these companies.
		Check this out.
		So this is from Molson Coors.
		which owns Miller Lite and Coors.
		This is an internal ad, so this was not publicly, this was not put out as an advertisement to the public.
		This was internal messaging to their own employees that got leaked out, and look how wokeness,
		man, give the devil his due, it destroys everything.
unidentified		At Molson Coors, we know that diversity, equity, and inclusion matter.
		Diversity is a good thing because everyone is unique in their experiences, points of views,
		and the brands they identify with.
		All right.
		Our point of view is that our employees need to be as diverse as our consumers who are as diverse as our products.
		As part of our 2021-2023 workforce strategy, we have challenged ourselves to increase our representation of professionals of color both in the U.S.
		and Canada.
		We are also committed to increasing the representation of women in our workplace to be reflective of the market where we work and live.
		And we expect to achieve $1 billion of spend with diverse suppliers in the Americas.
		We have provided education and dedicated training to all employees to increase their awareness and understanding of how diversity, equity, and inclusion are embedded into our culture.
		And since 2020, we have maintained an annual $1.5 million investment in community organizations focused on social justice, equity, and empowerment.
		As we look forward, Molson Coors will continue to make diversity, equity, and inclusion part of everything that we do.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		If you just bashed your head against your desk for the last 38 seconds, you're very similar to me.
		Just absolutely insane.
		That line, something to the effect of, our employees need to be as diverse as our customers.
		Think how insane that, what do you mean?
		What do you mean?
		If a third of your customers are black lesbians, then a third of your employees should be black lesbians?
		Also, do black lesbians drink Coors Light?
		I feel like they would.
		That seems right to me.
		Yeah, Daphne, yeah, I got a big nod from Daphne on that one.
		Black lesbians love Coors Light.
		It's all so idiotic.
		If you were making a product, let's say you were making a glass to put water in, or a coaster to put that glass on, or a pen, or some chapstick, Or a box of tissues.
		How many things do I have on this desk?
		Or a lens cap.
		I don't know why this is on my desk right now.
		Someone fix that later.
		If you were doing any of those things, what would you do?
		You'd be like, all right, I've got this idea for a product and I'm going to start a company here.
		So you have to fill out some paperwork.
		Now, first, would you go to a lawyer and be like, uh, can I get a, can I get a black, uh, partly handicapped lawyer possibly with a little Native American, uh, in there?
		Can you, is that po... And then you build out the product.
		I don't want these type... It's so stupid.
		These people are trying to make beer.
		Guys generally drink beer.
		I don't really like beer.
		I find if I have even half a beer, I get bloated.
		I like tequila, okay?
		And I don't care.
		I assume that most of the people making my tequila are Mexican, but frankly it doesn't matter if you know how to make tequila and you're Asian.
		You could be an Asian little person making tequila.
		That would be fine with me too.
		So moronic.
		But it continues, people.
		It just continues.
		Anheuser-Busch is doubling down.
		This one is really, like, wait till you hear the last line on this one.
		Anheuser-Busch is doubling down on their woke campaign to literally replace their white employees.
unidentified		Look at this.
		Having a more diverse and inclusive environment will make our company future-proof.
		I would like to live in a world where diversity and inclusion is so ingrained in who we are, what we do, that we don't need to have a conversation about it.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You can't make this up.
		First off, that woman says that the company's 60% white so there's more work to be done.
		She's literally saying we've got to fire the white people and they're putting that up there like it's a good thing.
		That's number one.
		The guy at the end, I want to live in a place where we have diversity, equity, inclusion.
		It's so part of who we are, we don't even have to talk about it.
		And you know, if you do talk about it, we've got a gulag for you.
		These people are completely insane.
		But now that we've proven to you that if you drink beer, you're gay, and certainly if you work at a beer company, you're obviously a lesbian or BIPOC or, you know, you're one of those things.
		You're a furry or something else.
		Someone's walking you around like a dog.
		There's a whole bunch of stuff, okay?
		It's not just beer.
		It's not just beer.
		Now we've got your two spirit, whatever it is.
		Uh, it's the cars, the cars are going gay.
		Okay.
		So Ford motors put out this ad.
		This is, uh, to, uh, you know, we've got the gay month coming June.
		It's a whole month of gayness.
		Uh, they're getting ahead of the game and they put this out for pride month already.
		Here you go.
unidentified		♪♪ ♪♪
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		And Conor, I wasn't going to tell you, but as a little, this is a little pre-birthday gift for you.
		Your car right now is outside in the parking lot being detailed.
		We're rainbowing that whole freaking thing and you're going to drive it around town.
		Very proud, you straight white freak.
		That's one thing.
		The other thing, think about it this way.
		Let's say gay people are 10% of the population.
		Why?
		What is the obsession with marketing everything towards gay, trans, whatever?
		And the gay and trans have nothing to do with each other.
		They're actually arch enemies, sort of like Optimus Prime and Megatron.
		Gays and trans should not like each other because the trans want to chop off the genitals of the gays.
		Let's put that aside for a second.
		Why would you be marketing to a very niche audience?
		And who, what gay person is walking in when you want to buy a car?
		And, you know, okay, so you're sitting there, you're looking at two trucks.
		Well, which one of these trucks is gayer?
		Is this, what is this truck?
		Do you, do you have this in Rainbow?
		It's just, none of it makes any sense.
		But they keep bludgeoning us over the head with this nonsense.
		And for years, nobody did anything.
		And then came along Florida Man.
		Yeah, Ron DeSantis was like, I've had just about enough of your gay beer and your gay cards and your gay cartoons, and we're going to do something about it.
		You know what he's doing?
		Well, yesterday he officially signed it.
		It had been a long time coming, but they're closing up the legislative session here in Florida, so he's signing a whole bunch of stuff right now.
		He officially Signed a bill which will ban trans surgeries on minors, which is a major, major win.
		And hopefully this will be exported throughout the entire country.
		Obviously, Cali isn't going to do it.
		New York's not going to do it, etc, etc.
		But hopefully as many states as possible will see, hey, let's not chop genitals off kids.
		That's a winning thing.
		Let's go ahead and do it.
		Here's DeSantis.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		But when we do do the SB 254, this will permanent outlaw the mutilation of minors.
		It will outlaw the surgical procedures and experimental puberty blockers for minors.
		It will also require any adults receiving these surgeries to be informed about the irreversible
		nature and about the dangers of the procedures.
		It will give Florida courts temporary jurisdiction to intervene and halt procedures for out-of-state
		children.
		You have actually some states in this country that want to be a haven for these types of
		procedures and even welcome minors without their parents' consent into some of their
		We're obviously doing the opposite here, and I think this provision is important.
		This is going to create a way to recover damages for injury or death resulting from mutilating surgeries or these experimental puberty blockers that are given to a minor.
		Because what happens, they go through this, then they get older, and this is a huge problem.
		They should be able to sue the physician who hurt them.
		And they're now gonna be able to with this law.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, everything he said there, it's true.
		It's reality-based.
		We all know it's right.
		You should not be giving these kids, these puberty blockers,
		kids that are having all sorts of confusions and they might have gender dysphoria
		or whatever it might be.
		Some of them will grow up, let's just say to be gay people.
		Some of them will grow up to be straight.
		Some of them have all sorts of other issues, but we don't let 12-year-olds get tattoos
		without parents' permission.
		But for some reason, you're allowed to chop their boobs off.
		And this idea that California, which is really where he was referring to,
		that it wants to become a sanctuary haven.
		So literally, if you are a 12-year-old, Who wants to transition and get puberty blockers and the surgeries and everything else and your parents say no.
		California could potentially take you in against your parents wishes.
		Well, the least Florida can do, it's more than pretty much anywhere else, is going to try to hang that up in the courts so that California can't just do that.
		I mean, it is so freaking psychotic, but isn't hearing just the truth And standing up for what is so obviously right, ain't it refreshing?
		Well, you know what we're also not going to do here in Florida?
		We're not going to force anyone to use any of these ridiculous pronouns.
		DeSantis also signed something on that front.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		This bill makes sure that Florida students and teachers will never be forced to declare pronouns in school or be forced to use pronouns not based on biological sex.
		We never did this through all of human history until like, what, two weeks ago?
		Now this is something?
		They're having third graders declare pronouns?
		We're not doing the pronoun Olympics in Florida.
		It's not happening here.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Just to be clear, guys, none of this is based in hate or bigotry or anything else.
		I know you know that.
		But when you're communicating some of this to your friends, well, that means he hates gay people, he hates trans people.
		No, he is defending kids and not offering endless confusion.
		Imagine trying.
		You know, we just obviously my kids are both under one.
		Right.
		So they're not communicating in English super well yet.
		We're working on it.
		We're doing pretty well, actually.
		But we had my two of my nephews and my niece here, who are a bit older, all under 10, but like, you know, 5 to 10.
		We had them over, and it's like, to sit with an 8-year-old and try to confuse them about gender or pronouns or anything else, it is so absolutely insane.
		So all we are doing here in Florida is doing the right freaking thing, which for some reason, in crazy times, the right thing seems rather extraordinary.
		But in sane times, it wouldn't seem extraordinary.
		And if we lived in sane times, none of this would be necessary.
		Here's a couple of the new laws that DeSantis passed or just signed on to.
		Just in these last days of the legislative session.
		Real quick, SB 254 is outlawing permanent mutilation of minors.
		That's the one we just talked about.
		HB 1069, removing pronoun politics and expanding parental rights in education.
		Okay, parents are going to know what their kids are learning.
		HB 1438, protecting child's innocence.
		HB 1521, ensuring women's safety.
		And HB 225, expanding access to youth sports.
		And by the way, when it comes to youth sports, we also don't let biological boys beat the crap out of girls in wrestling.
		I know that's very edgy and out there, but that's what we do.
		The point of all of this, guys, as this Florida legislative session comes to an end, and as the wokeness just keeps moving, and as I said, it's gonna be even nuttier in June when we have LGBT2Spirit by Bach Ugly.
		They ruined the rainbow.
		Of all the things that they did, right?
		They've done so much.
		But that they put those other colors and the triangle on the rainbow and it's like... They ruined the freaking rainbow.
		Skittles.
		Skittles.
		I can't eat Skittles anymore.
		But it's going to get crazier.
		It's going to get crazier.
		And we have an election coming.
		And it's time for sanity.
		Dare I say it's time for de-sanity.
		And Governor DeSantis spent the last couple of days in Iowa.
		And I think there is a message that makes sense for the future.
ron desantis ▲ ● ▼		It occurred to me that you can have the best declaration of independence in the world, you can have the best constitution in the world, but if you don't have people that are willing throughout our history to stand up, put on that uniform, risk their lives, and in many instances give that last full measure of devotion, Then it ain't gonna amount to very much.
		And so we are not called upon to make sacrifices of that magnitude, but we're also called upon to do battle in the political arena.
		So what I say to you as Republicans, put on the full armor of God.
		Take your stand.
		Stand firm for truth.
		We must fight the good fight.
		We must finish the race.
		And we must keep the faith.
		I can tell you this.
		I am proud of what we've done in Florida.
		I'm thankful what Governor Reynolds and the team have done in Iowa.
		But I've only begun to fight.
		Thank you all.
		God bless you.
		It's so great to be in Iowa.
		Thank you so much.
		Thank you.
		God bless you all.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It doesn't have to be shiny, it doesn't have to be perfectly TV ready or anything else.
		The truth and standing up for what you believe in.
		I know you get it, I know you get it.
		Check this out this morning, Time Magazine is doing a piece on DeSantis.
		They made him look very, it doesn't even look like him.
		Like if you showed me that, it looks like a, doesn't it look like an AI version of him?
		He's scalping an orange there, which obviously we grow a lot of oranges here in Florida.
		there might be another reference to a certain orange person.
		But they put out this piece in Time Magazine on DeSantis.
		There was one particular part that my buddy Dave Raboy, you guys know Dave Raboy, he's been on the show many times from Claremont Institute.
		He pinned this one that I thought this was interesting.
		Here's just one little piece of it.
		He wrote, this is what they wrote in Time.
		And Dave caught it.
		By operationalizing the culture war into a set of concrete policies, DeSantis has transformed the nation's third most populous state.
		What was once the butt of jokes about gators and retirees is now the swaggering, southern-tinged free state of Florida, where men are men, woke is broke, and business is booming.
		Twelve hundred new residents arrive every day.
		It's in the air.
		It's everywhere.
		It's amazing, says former GOP representative David Jolly, no fan of the vibe shift.
		It's between neighbors.
		It's when you go to restaurants.
		It's when you go to schools.
		You're on one side and people know it.
		A Florida native, Jolly, is considering moving his family out of the state.
		What you might find hilarious about this is they're talking about GOP representative David Jolly.
		So you'd be like, oh, he's a Republican.
		Obviously he likes DeSantis and they put him in there because he's an MSNBC contributor.
		So the Republican they got to comment on what's happening here in Florida, who says that neighbors are now against neighbors and everything else, and he's considering leaving Florida.
		He's an MS-fucking-NBC, pardon my French, contributor.
		It's just so blatant and ridiculous, and I'm sorry, David Jolly, go mutilate children's genitals in Cali.
		Go!
		Get out, man!
		I've got a few bucks left in the thing here.
		I'll throw it for ya.
		Good things are happening, trust me guys.
		Like, they really are.
		If you can sort of see through the fog, and there's a lot of fog right now, good things really are happening.
		We're going to get to a Rubin Report Locals Community Q&A.
		If you join right now, we could probably get an extra question or two in.

		Rubin Report.
	Locals.com community Q&A.
	Richard says, Hi Dave.
	You and Michael Malice both say these people are idiots.
	We have nothing to fear from them.
	I just watched the Fetterman clip and I don't fear him.
	I fear the rigged voting process.
	Don't you think that until Pennsylvania and other states institute a sane legal voting system that all the talk of who's running in 24 is pre-2020 election thinking?
	Okay, so this is a great point.
	Now, first off, Well, the point that Malice and I have made when I always, you know, yesterday we did quite a bit of it, like, this is not the best of the best.
	We're not up against the best of the best, whether it's Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or Fetterman or Dianne Feinstein.
	Like, this is not the best of the best.
	This is an old, decrepit, mentally compromised, physically compromised group of people.
	And we can beat them and we have better ideas and all that stuff.
	Your point though is, okay, that may be true, but if the elections are still screwy in places like Pennsylvania, so that a guy like Fetterman can beat a guy like Dr. Oz, or if the Democrats are going to do drop boxes, or the litany of other things that they seem to do, the early voting and mail-ins and all that, no IDs in California, etc., then it doesn't matter whether their candidates are good or bad.
	You're completely right about that.
	Uh, I can tell you this.
	I know that there is a movement in certain states.
	I don't know how much of this is like fully public public, but I know that there is a movement in certain states, blue states by Republicans to start doing the same things that Democrats are doing.
	Not to break the law, but if Democrats are going to do drop boxes, if Democrats are going to do all of these things, then Republicans will do them as well.
	So you're right.
	There is no, and this is one of the big problems that we have right now.
	So many of us, regardless of what side of the aisle you're on, we don't have great faith in the system.
	Why would any sane person right now have great faith that, let's look at two states, for example, California, where you do not have to show an ID.
	Just really think about that.
	That is banana republic level stuff.
	When I voted in California for the recall for Gavin Newsom, I walked in there, I tried to show the guy my ID, and he was like, no, no, no, no, no.
	It turned out he knew me.
	He's like, Dave, don't worry about it.
	But it had nothing to do with that.
	They don't want to see your ID.
	All they want to know is they ask you for your name and your address, and then they look in some sort of book.
	So literally what I could have done the next day was go to a different polling station and said, I know my neighbor's name and I know his address.
	I could have walked in and pretended to be my neighbor.
	So there is no reason to feel that the California election system is You shouldn't feel any confidence in it.
	Not only that, but when they sent everybody mail-in ballots on that,
	you know, they send you this mail-in ballot, it's folded like this,
	and the way they did it in California, you may remember I did a video on this
	about a year and a half ago.
	If you folded it, there's only a certain amount of ways you can fold something like this, right?
	You can fold it this way, this way, whatever it is, and then you put it in the envelope.
	All you had to do was put it up to the light, and no matter which way you could have folded it, you could see if you voted for Larry Elder or not.
	If you voted yes or no on the recall, then who you were voting for.
	So it is designed to break your confidence in the system.
	And then when it comes to a place like Pennsylvania, let's not forget, in the 2020 election, Trump was crushing it in Pennsylvania.
	Then around midnight, what happened?
	pipe burst in Philadelphia, shut down the voting.
	And then everything gets weird and all of the Dropbox stuff and everything else.
	So I'm actually not sitting here saying that the election wasn't legit.
	I don't know any more than you do.
	But what I do know is there's enough, let's say there's enough questions in the pool
	that we gotta think this thing through.
	And I think we have to fight the same way they would fight.
	Whatever the legal means are to fight for a fair election is what we have to do.
	I would also say, and this is certainly what they don't want to hear this in Pennsylvania or California, there are ways to secure your elections.
	You do it like Florida does.
	You've got to show an ID.
	They double check everything.
	It's done by paper.
	You put it in yourself.
	Someone's standing there.
	Danielle says, please answer the following question in your civil rights preacher voice.
	Can you tell us about a time that you discovered that the adults were fibbing to you?
	Suggestions, Santa, Tooth Fairy, Birds and the Bees, or anything else.
	Okay, so I have to do this in my preacher voice.
	And I'll tell you a time that I was lied to by parents or adults for saying, okay, so preacher voice.
	I do declare that one time my parents lied to me was around 1994 when I came home from college.
	I was a freshman at the University of Binghamton in New York.
	And I came home and I said to my parents, because a lot of my friends over there were smoking the pot, And I said to my parents, do you, did you in your day ever smoke the marijuana?
	And I said it straight to their faces.
	And I remember them looking at each other with a gleam in the eye.
	And they both said to me that they had never smoked the pot.
unidentified		But I knew in my heart of hearts that they had smoked the doobie.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		How was that?
		Pretty good.
		Then nine, eight.
unidentified		All right.
unidentified		Pretty good.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		I remember because I had never even drank a beer in high school, never smoked pot, anything whole freshman year of college too.
		I really never did anything.
		And then, but a lot of my friends were smoking pot and I remember going home and ask my friends, well, did you guys smoke pot back then?
		And I just had a feeling that they weren't fully telling me the truth.
		Maybe glaucoma related, who knows?
		Talway says, Dave, I don't know if you've seen the report of the Florida school teacher saying parents should lose their rights to their kids when they send them to public school, or the report that just came out about California wanting to restrict parental access to school campuses, but I'd love to get your take on what feels like a disturbing trend in the education sector.
		So I don't know the specific one you're talking about in Florida, but the general theme of that somehow these are not your kids, these are the
		state's kids, or that when you put your kid in a classroom that that teacher has more direct ownership
		over the child than you do.
		This is a real theme coming out of the left these days.
		This it takes a village.
		These are not your kids.
		We're hearing this all the time from Kamala Harris.
		We used to hear it from Hillary Clinton.
		We're hearing it from all of these teachers.
		Again, I could tell you guys, and I'm just feeling this so strongly as a parent of an eight month old and a six month old, like it is my job as a parent To make sure that they get the right ideas and they are not infected with the wrong ideas and basically abused by state employees and God knows what.
		You hope that you can put them in a class.
		It would be nice, right, if we could all believe in public education to the point that you would get an education.
		I don't know.
		I went to all public schools growing up and I remember going Elementary, junior, high school, we never talked about my
		teacher's sexuality.
		We never talked about our sexuality.
		There was health class in seventh grade.
		The guy put a condom on a banana.
		We all laughed, but that was pretty much the extent of it.
		We didn't ask him if he was wearing a dress after school.
		It probably was, but nobody knew.
		So it didn't matter.
		But this is the stuff they are doing.
		They want to basically take and mold the mind of young people into something that ultimately will destroy the family.
		And once you destroy the family, bottom up, what do you do?
		You start destroying communities.
		You just start destroying cities, states, and the whole freaking thing.
		Fight it like we're fighting it in Florida.
		Mike says, do you miss California?
		No.
		Papa Hook says, if DeSantis runs... Should I do a little more on that?
		I don't.
		I don't miss anything about... Do any of you miss anything about... Do you miss anything?
		Phoenix, you grew up there.
		Do you miss anything?
		Nothing.
		Connor, you were only there for about a year.
		Do you miss anything?
		What?
		In-N-Out!
		Alright, In-N-Out Burger.
		Yes.
		I actually kind of miss In-N-Out.
		I will grant you that.
		Daphne, you lived your whole life in the L.A.
		area.
		Just your family.
		Well, we're gonna send the plane and rescue everybody.
		We're sending a plane.
		The Florida Gator plane.
		We're gonna send them, get Daphne's whole family here.
		Papa Hook says, if DeSantis runs for and wins the nomination, what is his plan to get Trump's endorsement and keep him from running as a third party candidate?
		I had some good ideas.
		Look, I think at this point we can go on the assumption that DeSantis is running.
		I sense that it's going to happen any day now, probably like Monday or Tuesday.
		Let's just let's just go with that for just a moment.
		I think one of the disappointments that I've had in the last two months is you guys know if you watch this show with any regularity you know for months I've been trying to do my best not really to go after Trump even though I clearly think DeSantis is the better choice at this point.
	I've tried to be fair about it but I have called out the nonsense when it's come.
	Unfortunately Trump has gone so in on the nonsense DeSantis is a rhino and a global like it's been so ridiculous and it's not working by the way.
	It's been so ridiculous that he's done a certain amount of damage there.
	Now, I would say this, you really gotta remember this.
	I know in the heat of the battle and on the day-to-day basis politics, it's like, I could never vote for that person because he said this.
	At the end of the day, do you want Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom as president or do you want Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump?
	So whoever wins, there will be some meeting.
	There will be some meeting and hopefully they will put those pieces together.
	I would say it's much more incumbent on Trump to clean that up because the DeSantis people for the most
	part, and I certainly include myself in this, no one's really angry at the Trump supporters or at
	Trump. Like I wish his behavior was a little bit better, but I get it. He is what he is. The Trump
	people are like seemingly, I'm talking about the base of the base, not the average nominal
	supporter. Like they're really like, you know, they've gone all in on that DeSantis is the most
	evil person around.
	And it's like, no, he's actually the best governor in the entire country.
	And Florida is flourishing.
	And that's why Trump lives here.
	And that's why his kids live here.
	And all of his grandkids live here and everything else.
	So there's a disconnect there that's going to have to be dealt with.
	But as nasty as politics can get, and trust me, it's barely gotten nasty so far, I hope that they'd be able to, you know, just erase it, whiteboard it.
	Blank it out and start over.
	Amy says, if you could describe your recent trip in one word, what would that be?
	Affirming.
	What about affirming?
	I think it would be affirming.
	It was very affirming.
	I think it was affirming to me personally.
	I think philosophically, religiously, professionally.
	It was, you know, not only, well, especially the Israel part to me, Having been there before, but seeing some of the good things that were going on there and catching up with some old friends and, you know, the thing that I'm constantly talking about on the show, about how do we take some things from the old world and still blaze a trail to the new world.
	That really seems to me what the very essence of what Israel is.
	So it's deeply connected to what I'm trying to do on this show, I would say.
	But also, you know, to take the whole team there and have everybody, you know, we did all the tours.
	And again, we're going to put this doc out probably in the next two to three weeks or so, this mini doc
	that we shot there with some interviews and tours and wandering around Jerusalem and a whole bunch more.
	But it was just very affirming that I'm kind of doing what I'm supposed to be doing, I suppose.
	Vinay says, hey Dave, I caught up on a few of Vivek's shows during your trip abroad.
	He seems very feisty and on point.
	Can't wait for the primary debates with him.
	What do you think of his messaging?
	Look, I was the first guest on Vivek's podcast.
	Vivek has been on this show a couple of times.
	I like Vivek.
	I think he's gone a little overboard in some of the DeSantis attacks, but OK, let's just put that aside.
	I think having Vivek on stage is really excellent for Republicans.
	You know, if you just look at it this way, if you have Trump on stage, assuming Trump's going to do it, Trump is now saying he may not even debate, which is ridiculous, but because that's where that's where he shines.
	Right.
	At least supposedly, if you have Trump, DeSantis, Nikki Haley.
	Vivek, let's say Tim Scott, and you throw in one more.
	It's not Mike Pompeo, but Mike Pence, let's say.
	You really have a wide selection of people to look at with different opinions on different things, with different resumes, but they're all clearly, they're all accomplished professional people, like Vivek as a businessman, DeSantis as a governor, Trump as a former president and a businessman.
	They all, Nikki Haley as a successful governor and ambassador at the UN, like, these are people who deserve to be on a stage.
	Now, contrast that with what the Democrats put up last time.
	It was such a ridiculous clown show of unqualified people.
	I mean, Pete Buttigieg, who was the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who accomplished absolutely nothing, a tiny little town in Indiana, who then they made transportation secretary only because of his sexuality.
	Those were the types of people that they had up there.
	Or just a bunch of people with really bad ideas who had no real support like Kamala Harris or Elizabeth Warren, etc, etc.
	So I'm glad that Vivek is involved.
	I'd like to see him, you know, right now it seems like he's just the attack dog for Trump to go after DeSantis.
	I'd like to see him even that out a little bit.
	But getting him up there, you know, he's right on all the woke stuff, obviously.
	He's right on ESG and a bunch more.
	And I think he's a good guy.
	So there you go.
	I don't think so.
	As I've said before, I'm more beard than man now.
	I look back at my old shows, I just look better with a beard.
	Some people, they look better shaven, some people look better with a beard.
	I think generally speaking, yeah.
	I'm a beard guy now.
	It's too late for me, as Darth said to Luke.
	If I take this beard off, I'll die.
	That's it.
	That's how it works.
	Kind of like Samson.
	Yeah, I mean, it's why these letters have nothing to do with each other.
	I have nothing to do with these trans radical lunatics.
	since they have become so militant and saying, yeah, I mean, it's why these letters
	have nothing to do with each other.
	I have nothing to do with these trans radical lunatics.
	I don't have that much to do with lesbians, quite frankly.
	But they're all right.
	You know?
	You know, whatever.
	It's cool.
	Um, these things have nothing to do with each other.
	And your sexuality doesn't define who you should be friends with or where you should want to live or anything else.
	But they've somehow made your sexuality an ideology.
	That's what's so dangerous.
	You know, when you see like a gay flag somewhere, A flag is supposed to connotate, usually flags connotate like, I don't know, a country.
	So you can have a sort of, if you see a flag of America, you have a set of ideas that that probably means, that makes sense.
	And that's different than say the flag of Cuba or the flag of China.
	They have their own set of ideas that their flags represent.
	But what does a gay flag represent?
	It doesn't really represent anything.
	Other than your sexual preference, let's say.
	But that's not really something to be putting on a flag.
	It's all so insane.
	And I'm telling you guys, this trans thing, there is no... The trans movement is far more anti-gay than the Christian right.
	They will pin the Christian right.
	They're the bigots!
	The Christian right is not trying to chop the genitals off gay people.
	It's the trans people who are trying to do it.
	That seems worse.
	OK?
unidentified		OK.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Jeffrey says, what tourist attractions did you visit in Budapest?
		Did you like the food?
		I saw you visited the House of Parliament, but I wonder what else you've seen.
		You know, our trip there was so packed with so many interviews, we didn't do much touristy stuff.
		We wandered around the Danube River and we walked in, we went to Parliament.
		We had lunch at Jamie Oliver's restaurant, which I assume is one of Budapest's finest locales.
		I had dinner with Jordan Peterson at actually a great restaurant.
		It was called Felix, which was on the other side of the river from Parliament.
		Really, really nice.
		And why don't we tell the people what hotel we stayed at, because it was really cool.
		What was the hotel?
		The Clark Hotel.
		Really kind of funky, cool, like modern, but goth, and just a lot of textures in the hotel.
		It was really cool.
		What else did we do there?
		Man, it's been, what a blur these last couple weeks have been.
		What else?
		Yeah, we did, I mean, that was the main thing.
		It was Parliament, it was talking to people, the show with Jordan.
		What's that?
		Yeah, we walked through some castles and a whole bunch of other stuff.
		Yeah, it was very cool.
		I wish we would have had more time there and we'll definitely go back.
		Joe says, the Durham report was finally released and exposed the malfeasance of the FBI in regards to Russiagate.
		In your opinion, what's worse?
		The fact that the powers that be spent years lying to the American public or the fact that there are still people out there that believe the BS even though the lies have been exposed?
		The lying, we cover it all the time, right?
		I could spend the rest of my life just playing clips of MSNBC and CNN and everybody else lying about Russia.
		I could play clips of Adam Schiff and I could play clips of all of the people, right?
		Hillary lying about, you know, Donald Trump's an illegitimate president.
		We could do that all day long.
		The problem, I guess, really, is that they released this Durham report and it's not going to really change anything.
		A bunch of us that either knew it was kind of nonsense or just weren't fully swallowing it, whatever you want to say.
		Sure, it strengthens our belief that we were kind of right about this, but do you think that the average viewer of The View, even if they were to cover this, or the average reader of The New York Times, do you think they'll change their opinion?
		Do you think they'll go back and be like, boy, you know, For these last six years I've been running around screaming that Donald Trump was a Russian asset.
		He was working with the Russians to steal an election.
		And actually it does turn out not to be true.
		And I might have to rethink a whole bunch of things if I got that wrong.
		And that's what the problem is.
		But this is why I also think the truth will set you free.
		You must fight for the truth because if you fight for the truth a certain amount of people will wake up.
		A whole bunch won't.
		And that will always be disappointing.
		And there will be people in your personal life who you will want to wake up and you will try to wake up and you will not be able to wake up.
		But you may as well try.
		And I hope that more and more people, as mainstream media collapses, will turn to independent outlets like this.
		I mean, we know this is happening.
		It's literally happening in real time.
		And find out something a little bit closer to the truth.
		I think it's as simple as that.
		Rich says, when can we expect having an option to download content for offline listening?
		That's the only reason I still have YouTube on my phone.
		Excuse me, Spotify and even Fox Nation have this as an option, maybe something to build within Rumble and Locals.
		Yes, we're on it.
		We're working on it.
		Trust me, we're working on a whole bunch of stuff.
		We just got our main programmer out of Ukraine.
		He's now here in Miami working at the Locals office, and we are working on a whole bunch of things.
		But yeah, the offline download is one of those things.
		Also, I mentioned on the show the other day, that Rumble announced on Tuesday
		that we have acquired the Call-In app.
		Call-In is a really cool technology that I've wanted to use forever,
		but I didn't want, you know, I send people to Rumble and Locals, obviously,
		I didn't want to send people to another app.
	But we are gonna incorporate the Call-In features into Locals, and basically, I'll be able to do live,
	live, like, old-school radio call-in shows, like AM radio, and it'll be for paid subscribers,
	so it's not gonna be all the trolls just calling me and having to deal with that nonsense,
	but so you pay a couple bucks, and we'll start doing live radio shows like that.
	I think it's an absolutely awesome feature So we're building out a whole bunch more just patience guys I know everyone wants everything immediately and I get it and I think before I was in the tech game I was probably like why can't you do this tomorrow?
	These things take a little time We're also, you know, we're trying to build everything ourselves because we don't want to be reliant on everybody else. We don't want to be reliant certainly on
	Amazon or the big boys.
	So we have to build this stuff ourselves. So it does take a little time.
	Kerry says, you know how Biden and company abandoned zillions of dollars worth of weaponry when they pulled out of
	Afghanistan?
	Could it be that this was done deliberately so that the military industrial complex,
	in order to replace what was lost, be called upon to supply kazillions more dollars worth of military equipment?
	I like zillions and kazillions.
	I think there could be some legitimacy to that.
	Absolutely.
	I mean, when you see now those pictures or videos of all of the stuff that we left there,
	the helicopters, the tanks, the Humvees, all of it, it's like that does have to be replaced at some point.
	So does this become just the sort of endless sort of feeding of the machine?
	Oh, we've lost all that stuff.
	We better replace it with other stuff.
	Because you know, the way the government operates, the budgets always go up.
	If the military, let's say any department, is given a million bucks for a calendar year,
	if they don't spend that million bucks, their budget goes down.
	So they always overspend so that their budget goes up.
	No one could run a business like this, but I guess it's pretty good
	when you've got the printing press.
	David says, what was your favorite part about your trip to Israel?
	Um...
	You know, I have to say, I really love Jerusalem.
	I knew that I was going to love Tel Aviv and I've been there a few times.
	Tel Aviv is sort of the, it's like the fun and the heart of the country in a certain sense of like music and food and everyone, every restaurant is open till 4am and everything's packed everywhere and it's young and there's just like Because that's the country so small that that's where all of you know the people in their 20s and 30s 40s that's where they all congregate and it's just like a non-stop endless party and beautiful people and all that stuff.
	Jerusalem which I've been to several times over the years but I never spent like five straight days there and being in Jerusalem and walking around And seeing the mix, I mean, we posted a couple pictures of it, the mix of Orthodox Jews and religious Muslim women side by side at the same shops and everything else.
	It is simply not what the media would show you.
	It's not what our evil communist liars like Rashida Tlaib, who tell you this place is about apartheid, would ever dare show you.
	There's so much more coexistence there.
	Going, I think really probably my favorite thing there was going to the main market.
	In Jerusalem, Friday afternoon before Shabbat.
	So this is where all the people are at the market and they've got everything you could think of there.
unidentified		They got fish, they got meat, they got booze, they got breads, everything.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Spices, all this kind of stuff.
		And just there's such an energy in there.
		It's just, it's wild.
		Like you really, I can't really explain it.
		We did take some video in there, so we'll show you some video.
		And I did buy some, I bought some teas.
		Uh, which I've been actually, this is a little, maybe I've said too much related to Dave Rubin's tequila that I'm working on, but I've been taking some of these little tea leaves and little pomegranate things and I've been, uh, soaking some tequila in them and I'm working on a little something.
		So stay tuned on that.
		Meghan says, Have you read Rod Dreher's book, Live Not by Lies?
		I do feel like we are in a life or death game of chess.
		The stakes are very high if we lose.
		Total transparency.
		I have not read it yet, but we do have it here.
		And I did interview Rod in Budapest.
		Look at that right there.
		I mean, that view ain't bad.
		That's Parliament right behind us.
		And Rod's hair.
		Should get some sort of award.
		He says he has not found the proper barber yet in Budapest, so he goes back to America.
		He lives part-time in Hungary, part-time in America.
		But he's a great thinker, and he's fighting for truth, and he really loves... It was very obvious to me, and you'll see the interview.
		We'll put the whole thing up.
		Do we know when we're putting that up yet?
		We're not sure yet, right?
		Yeah, we're figuring that out.
		We're still plotting out a few things from the trip.
		But like, he just loves what Hungary is fighting for, that they're saying, hey, we're a country here.
		We have an identity.
		We have a culture.
		We don't want it overrun with immigrants.
		We want to defend our borders.
		We don't want people in Brussels to make decisions for us and a whole bunch more.
		It's so clean and clear and obvious.
		And that was one of my main takeaways from the trip, whether it was in Hungary or in Israel, like countries have the right.
		I mean, this is what national conservatism is all about.
		That you have a right, it's the whole point of nation states, like if you live in a country, the country can set the agenda.
		And once the country exports that agenda to people in Brussels or to globalists or the WEF or whatever it might be, you're not really a country anymore.
		Yeah, you live in a geographic area with a bunch of people, but there's no purpose for your nation.
		And I think if we can get back to that, it will help.
		And you know, the beauty of America is we're doing it in the federal style first, right?
		The federalist style.
		We're doing it at the state level and then we can build out that national project.
		I think it emanates here first from Florida and then goes out that way.
		And I think we can save America.
		I really do.
		Guys, we've got a post-game show coming up in just moments at rubenreport.locals.com.
		We leave you, I apologize in advance, with Adam Schiff.
		And I'll see everybody else in a couple seconds.
unidentified		Is it possible for the evacuations to finish up before August 31st?
unidentified		I think it's possible, but I think it's very unlikely.
