Dave Rubin opens with Iranian President Raisi's helicopter crash before analyzing Bill Maher's Fox News appearance criticizing Biden's Morehouse speech and puberty blockers. The episode contrasts Maher's views on gender transition with Harrison Butker's traditional marriage advocacy, while debunking pandemic misinformation via Francis Collins and Terrence Howard. Ultimately, Rubin frames these cultural shifts as evidence that society is undergoing an attempted murder, noting even atheists like Maher are finding common ground with conservatives against progressive overreach.

That little Jerry Springer intro, I want to give Connor some credit there.
if you'd like to help keep us independent.
But we have special information which will be distributed to you via the internet each Thursday, starting this week.
That little Jerry Springer intro, I want to give Connor some credit there.
I didn't even know he was putting that thing together.
But as he did that yesterday and then showed it to me, I was thinking, you know, we really have basically entered
the Jerry Springer version of reality, right?
Like that, the fighting, the back and forth, the craziness, the who baby mama, the this one yelling at that one, ripping the wig off, all that.
That's basically what everyone is doing.
Fighting all day long about politics, about culture, and everything else.
And then it sort of sits online for a while, then it eventually gets into the mainstream level, then we all react to it.
And it's like, perhaps there is a way to get back to a little sanity.
And that kind of is our theme today.
We are going to show you, we realized about right when we got to the end of our rundown this morning, when we were running through the show, that we've got good clip after good clip.
Like, if you want good signs that good things are happening right now, that people are waking up, that more people are seeing the nonsense and everything else, then today's show is the show for you.
But before we get to all the clips and everything else, I just wanna quickly hit on the big story from yesterday.
We're not gonna spend too much time about it, but it's worth just putting a pin in this
because I think it ain't nothing.
I'm sure you heard this already, but the president of Iran, Ibrahim Raisi,
was killed in a helicopter crash.
We've got some info from Fox News.
Iran's controversial president, Ibrahim Raisi, foreign minister Hussein Amir Abdullahein,
and other officials were confirmed dead on Monday after their helicopter crash in a mountainous region
of the country's northwest, Iranian state media reported.
The death of Raisi, named Butcher of Tehran for his oversight of mass executions of political prisoners in 1988, forced Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to install interim leadership for Iran's executive branch.
An Israeli official, Denied to Reuters the country had any involvement in the
deadly crash saying bluntly it wasn't us Iran for years has backed the terror group Hamas currently
engaged in its months-long war with Israel Iranian state TV said Monday that there was no sign of life
at the crash site of the helicopter that was carrying 63 old racy
60 year old Abdullah Haney and other officials after it had made a hard landing on Sunday
So I just want to pin that there. I don't think we have to offer much analysis, but I don't think
it's nothing.
Let's just put it that way.
The Israelis say they had nothing to do with it.
Helicopters do crash.
Let's not forget about Kobe Bryant just a couple years ago.
That was like one of the worst of the worst of the worst.
These things do happen.
But relative to all of the things happening in the world right now, it is worth noting that the president of Iran was just killed in a helicopter accident.
Let's just put it there and we will see how events unfold.
But what I really want to focus on today, as I just said, is just good sign after good sign.
And it involves some of our all-stars over here at the Rubin Report, like Bill Maher and Greg Gutfeld, and we're going to show you some Fauci stuff and some other stuff.
But there are real signs and we'll sort of tie it all together with a moment that I had on yesterday's show.
Hopefully you guys watched our live stream yesterday where I had James Lindsay in here And we kind of did a normal direct message together, throw into clips and analyzing things together.
And he had a really beautiful ending to the show that we do not have to let this attempted murder of America and the West happen.
There is a way to stop it.
I really believe there is.
And that really is the theme for today.
So let's just dive right into it.
Last night on Greg Gutfeld's show, the number one show in late night television, Bill, we were told that if we didn't transition kids, we had blood on our hands.
insane guy in all of late night, Bill Maher showed up to the Fox studios, right?
So think about that.
Lefty liberal Bill Maher shows up to the Fox studios and dare I say he repeated a little Dave Rubin, 2017.
No, I mean I was talking about this on my show last week.
I mean, we are the outlier now, the United States.
It's so funny the way sometimes the woke stuff, you know, and I always try to make this point that liberalism is not, you know, the same thing as woke.
Woke, they would like to think they're an extension of liberalism.
I'm an old school liberal.
They're not.
It's very often the opposite.
And they think they're going so far in the right direction and it actually turns out that they're in the wrong direction and they've actually reversed it because most of the countries in Europe now England, the Scandinavian countries, the ones we used to always be able to say, well, look what the liberal countries are doing.
They're all reversed themselves on this.
They don't do the puberty blockers anymore.
They don't do this stuff because of studies like this.
And America is just doubling down on this stuff.
So we are the outlier country on this stuff.
And look, there's always a sensible middle ground.
That's what I'm always trying to find.
Is there such a thing as trans?
Of course, there are sometimes people who are, let's just say, there's a mix-up at the factory.
And you don't feel in your head the way you do in your body.
But some of this is also just a TikTok challenge that got out of hand.
There is a famous video on the internet somewhere, Why I Left the Left by Dave Rubin PragerU video with about 50 million views explaining that from 2016.
Now, it's always great when people start getting there.
The reason I'm showing you that clip is not because he said something so amazing, right?
We've all heard this before and we all see him going in that direction.
The reason I'm showing you that clip is there he is at Fox News sitting with Dana Perino, Fox host who used to work in the George W. Bush administration with Greg Gutfeld, with Dr. Drew, who I would say he's also an old school liberal but largely has found common cause with people on the right at this point.
And Bill's being treated with complete respect.
He's getting laughs and he's getting applause breaks and everything else from the audience.
And now think about it.
If Bill was to go on a panel show on MSNBC, imagine how he would be treated not only by the audience, but by the other hosts.
And it would not be, he would not be treated well.
And we all know that, right?
Imagine if he sat down with the ladies of The View.
He would not be treated well.
So my challenge for Bill Or for the other people that are in Bill's position, is so at the end of the day, are you going to acknowledge the same set of problems that the conservatives acknowledge?
Are you going to sit with these people and be treated respectfully and friendly?
And him and Greg have become friends, which is great.
And then are you going to vote with the other people?
And that will be the decision that Bill will have to get to.
That will be the decision that his audience has to get to.
Like, are you going to point out all of the same problems, all of the stuff that we see, but then vote in for the people that are ushering them in?
I got another clip of Gutfeld's show last night with Bill also hitting the left when it comes to this race insanity.
You may remember this Morehouse College speech that we showed.
Should we show the Morehouse speech first?
You want to show the Morehouse speech first or you want to show Mar first?
Yeah, you know what?
Before we do it, let's flip the order here.
You may remember, we showed it to you yesterday, Joe Biden gave a commencement speech at Morehouse College, which is a historically black university, and it was one of the most vile speeches I have ever heard.
A commencement speech should be given to show the kids, these young people, that there is a world ahead of them, that they can make the world, that they can do great things, they have a chance.
Joe Biden gave the most divisive, racially charged, nonsensical speech that really sounded like it should have been given in 1950 rather than 2024.
So let's show that first and then we'll show you Bill commenting on it.
It's natural to wonder if democracy you hear about actually works for you.
What is democracy?
If black men are being killed in the street, what is democracy?
Betrayal of broken promises still leave black communities behind.
What is democracy if you have to be 10 times better than anyone else to get a fair shot?
And most of all, what does it mean, as you've heard before, to be a black man who loves his country, even if it doesn't love him back in equal measure?
In America, we're all created equal.
Extremists close the doors of opportunity, strike down affirmative action, Attack the values of diversity, equality, and inclusion.
I never thought when I was graduating in 1968, as your honoree just was, we talked about, I never thought I'd be a president at a time when there's a national effort to ban books.
You know, he's also just so emotionally dysregulated. Look, he's reading there,
and I will give him credit. He only slurred once or twice in that little portion right there.
But you could see that the emotion is not connected to what he's saying, because he's
just reading to make sure that he doesn't screw it up. But just a couple of the bullet points,
we went through this yesterday, but he's talking about in a country where black men are killed
Yes, usually by other black men.
You don't want to get into that.
And there's far more black men that kill white men than white men that kill black men.
But you don't want to talk about that.
That you have to be ten times better To get a job if you're a black man.
I mean, not only is that a lie, like an abject, complete lie, but imagine saying that to a kid who just spent four years at college learning hopefully the right things ready to take on the world and then told that the world hates him and is going to discriminate against him, which is not true.
A country that doesn't love you back.
Disgusting from the President of the United States.
Affirmative action.
He's still fighting for affirmative action, which is actually systemic racism.
Ask the Asian kids trying to get into Harvard.
And then, of course, he's also defending diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Anyway, it was an absolutely horrific speech.
The emotional component that he just can't contain properly because he's just so broken mentally.
Everything he just said right there.
And here is Bill, the liberal, the actual liberal, ripping that apart as well.
I mean, that speech would have made sense some years ago.
I think we should acknowledge that racism still persists and we should always be making remedial remedies for it.
But we're not in the past.
I always keep saying, let's live in the year we're living in.
We're not living in the year where you have to be 10 times better.
Mm-hmm to succeed if if you're a person of color this and in some instances It's it's an advantage.
Yeah In some places it's not an advantage, but we're not living in that world that he's talking about and and I don't think that helps anybody But it does help that you, a liberal, go on Fox News to say that.
And then hopefully some of your liberal audience goes over there and they go, oh my God, that Dana Perino's not insane.
That Greg Gutfeld's not insane.
And I actually agree with the liberal who agrees mostly with the conservatives.
I want to show you one other clip of this because Bill, wait, this is from CNN or from Gutfeld, sorry.
This room got filled as well.
One other clip of this because they started talking about Biden's cognition problems that everyone now sees and Bill, who has gotten into it personally with Trump over the years, who has railed against Trump over the years and everything else, even he acknowledges that Trump's cognition way better than Joe Biden.
Well, it is bothering me, because again, he's an insurrectionist who doesn't believe in democracy, so of course it's bothering me, and of course he's also insane and a criminal and stupid.
Okay, so you may not agree with Bill about the insurrectionist stuff,
or he's an insane, he's insane, or he's a criminal or that stuff.
But again, Bill is acknowledging something that many on the left seem to refuse to acknowledge.
Let's not forget, we just showed you, and we show you all the time, these ridiculous clips out of Joe Scarborough's show on MSNBC, where he talks about how sharp Biden is, and they keep running all these panels on CNN where everybody tells you, oh no, he's the hardest working person, and Corinne Jean-Pierre, no one works harder, and he's up till midnight, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But everyone knows it's not true.
So it is good to have a liberal show up in Fox and say that.
And actually, let's give you some evidence.
No, not of Joe Biden stumbling and bumbling.
We can do that very easily every day.
How about Donald Trump just going full standup?
This is from the weekend.
I mean, this is just off the cuff and this is standup.
And whether you want your president to be a standup comic or not is almost irrelevant.
The fact that he can just do this and not be stuck to that prompter, that's what people appreciate.
But again, I'm showing you that because I'm trying to illustrate the point that Bill's making, which is they're basically the same age.
One guy poorly reads off teleprompters, slurs every word, forgets where he is, wanders off in the forest.
One guy's doing 90-minute off-the-cuff speeches that are, whether you think That's what we need or not.
It's directionally towards the truth way, way more than what the Democrats are offering.
So, so far, as promised, I said to you on this show, we were just going to show you kind of win after win after win after win.
Well, another thing that's happening right now is that a bunch of the cases against Donald Trump, we already know that some of the attempts to get him kicked off the ballots in various states have already failed, but the cases against him are crumbling in real time.
And CNN is even having to admit what an absolute farce is happening right now in New York City and his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, has just completely demolished the case against Trump.
Watch this.
unidentified
The way this was raised and addressed on direct is what Julia Louis-Dreyfus would call yadda, yadda, yadda.
Here's the direct testimony, the way Michael Cohen explained what happened.
It's actually a girl that Costanza was dating.
Michael Cohen explained this whole thing, quote, that's what was owed and I didn't feel Mr. Trump deserved the difference.
That's a lot different than I stole $60,000 from my boss on the transaction at the heart of this case.
Why We Left Kansas City00:15:29
unidentified
And by the way, the fact that he was ever charged with larceny is important because stealing $60,000 through fraud, which would be larceny in New York state, is more serious of a crime than falsifying business.
Oh, so Trump's lawyer is now guilty, potentially guilty of a crime that's worse than the thing that they were bringing against Trump in the first place.
Like it's going to fall apart just like every other thing that they throw against Trump falls apart.
He truly is Teflon Don, right?
Like it's just, it's just so obvious and, and.
Congratulations, congratulations to all of the people that kept everyone in utter hysterics about this man, as their side just basically destroyed the world, because you got pretty damn close to doing it, but now I think an awful lot of people are waking up to it.
We're gonna connect this to the other big story that we didn't get to cover over the last couple of days, but this was really probably the biggest cultural story in the last week, was a commencement speech given by Kansas City Chiefs Harrison Butker, Where he basically just said it's cool to be a wife and raise a family and the machine tried to destroy the man.
But because I said today's all good news, it did not work.
We'll get to that in just a second.
Let me talk to you guys about American financing.
Guys, in today's economic climate, many of us find ourselves facing the challenge of managing our monthly expenses.
And high credit card interest rates can trap you in a cycle of debt with balances that persist month after month.
Paying only the minimum each month means it could take years to become debt-free.
Reach out to American Financing, a trusted partner in helping people achieve financial freedom.
If you're a homeowner, they can tap into your home's equity and help you eliminate high-interest credit card debt.
On average, their customers save $854 per month, the equivalent to receiving a $10,000 annual raise.
The process is straightforward and quick.
You could close your loan in as little as 10 days.
And by acting today, you might not have to pay your next mortgage payment.
It costs nothing to see how much you can save.
The opportunity to regain control of your finances is too significant to ignore.
Ladies and gentlemen of the Class of 2024, you are sitting at the edge of the rest of your lives.
Each of you has the potential to leave a legacy that transcends yourselves and this era of human existence.
In the small ways, by living out your vocation, you will ensure that God's church continues and the world is enlightened by your example.
For the ladies present today, Congratulations on an amazing accomplishment.
You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives.
I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you.
How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career?
Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.
I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabel, would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.
I'm on this stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation.
I am beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all, Homemaker.
All right, so we're going to show you more in just a second.
And I think you were probably watching that going, Dave, what, that caused outrage?
But yes, it did, because he basically said to women, oh, there could be something more important than just working your way up the corporate ladder, more important than just getting the next promotion or the next raise or something else.
And by the way, that's true of men, too.
But largely it's women that are the homemaker and everything else.
And that most women, if you were to talk to most women, let's say in their 50s or 60s, if they had had families, And you said to them, would you have rather spent more time at work in the corporate atmosphere or raising your children?
Almost all of them, of course, would say raising the children and the family and everything else.
And by the way, again, men might do that as well.
You also might find a bunch of women who are 50s and 60s without families, without children, without spouses, etc.
And they mostly probably regret it, which is why we always show you these clips of these lefty, single, 50-year-old comedians.
I don't even need to name any of them right now.
And they're the most sort of crazy and psychotic and politically mumbled and everything else, because they've put all of their efforts into that instead of raising a family, which is just a fundamental thing that most people need, if I can loosely quote Jordan Peterson.
Anyway, let's just go a little bit more of him talking, warning some of these young women about the mainstream feminist lies.
I say all of this to you because I have seen it firsthand, how much happier someone can be when they disregard the outside noise and move closer and closer to God's will in their life.
Isabel's dream of having a career might not have come true, but if you asked her today if she has any regrets on her decision, she would laugh out loud, without hesitation, and say, heck no.
As a man who gets a lot of praise and has been given a platform to speak to audiences like this one today, I pray that I always use my voice for God and not for myself.
Everything I am saying to you is not from a place of wisdom, but rather a place of experience.
I am hopeful that these words will be seen as those from a man, not much older than you, who feels it is imperative that this class, this generation, and this time in our society must stop pretending that the things we see around us are normal.
Like if you just think about that Joe Biden clip we showed you a few minutes ago,
where Joe Biden, again, emotionally dysregulated, angry, it's all about grievance and the world hates you
and you're gonna have to work harder and the country hasn't been good to you
and all this stuff, versus a football player, a young guy who's achieved like the prime success
that any athlete would want to.
He's on the Super Bowl winning team talking about his wife and his family
and there's a decency to it.
Like it's not emotionally dysregulated, it's just right and it's true and he's telling these young women,
don't get caught up in all of that nonsense because what happens when you do
is you forget about the really important things.
So now let's talk a little bit about the outrage related to this because, again, anyone with a common sense brain watching that knows he's largely right.
It doesn't mean for absolutely everybody, but the bulk of it.
So the bulk of us.
So we shouldn't be destroying what sort of the apex is.
So here is a video that was going viral.
This is a cheerleader for the Kansas City Chiefs.
So this girl was a cheerleader for the same team that this guy played on.
Her name is Stephanie Hill.
And here she is going after Harrison for that speech.
unidentified
I put on a blazer and my finest jewelry in case any of the national news wants to use this and air it without my consent.
My video addressing my favorite former co-worker Harrison Butkert has popped off.
And I'm about it.
Because now I am a voice for the people that he attacked.
And since the mainstream media is going to use whatever content they want, I thought I might as well dress up and give him a formal speech.
It has never been about whether or not a woman should stay home with her family.
If that is the best decision for her, do you.
If you want to have a career?
Do you!
If you want to do both, pop off!
Do you!
My issue lies when entitled men in positions of privilege, such as Harrison Buckhurt, uses a graduation speech to put a woman in her place instead of congratulating her on her accomplishments.
Are you shocked at some of his public supporters?
I was not.
Because something these people all have in common?
Like, she's gonna really make a guy happy one day. Um...
I'll be happy one day.
You see the fundamental difference in way of looking at the world between someone like Harrison Butker, who I'm not a huge football fan, so it's not like I know a ton about this guy, but from the clip that we're seeing here, he's not forcing anyone to do anything.
She's implying that he's forcing people to do anything and had to bow down to the altar of social justice to give a commencement speech.
It's completely, completely insane.
Well, she, Phoenix said it while we were watching, it's like the affect that they speak with and everything, and this right, this self-righteous indignation, it's really just kind of gross.
But of course we know that the internet is full of just reactions to reactions and reactions to that, but I thought we'd show you sort of a positive version of that.
This is, so that's a former cheerleader on the Kansas City Chiefs, her opinion about that.
I suspect she will probably go all in on her career, probably not go all in on a family and everything else, and maybe Maybe in 30 years or so when she's about 52 we can revisit this and see how it worked out for her and God bless her and good luck for her if it really does work out the way she wants but again we know for the majority of people there is a certain set of stuff that works but let's show you the counter to that because here's just a random TikToker actually laying out some truth as per situation.
unidentified
Watching people on social media convulsing over Harrison Butker's commencement speech is wild because I don't hear this kind of commotion for football players with five baby mamas who are on video beating their wives and children and driving their car 119 miles per hour causing a six-car crash.
We have completely destroyed the holiness of family, to the extremity of criticizing a man who goes on stage, congratulating the women for their accomplishments, even acknowledging that some will go on to lead successful careers, while still encouraging them to not be afraid to embrace the vocation of marriage and motherhood, especially if a career doesn't work out.
Being a wife and a mom is important and it's pivotal and no one should be villainized for
speaking on it. In a society that promotes boss babe culture with a side order of abortions in
order to be successful, a Catholic man encouraging Catholic beliefs to Catholic students is a breath
of fresh air, especially after having to listen to morally reprehensible positions on a regular
basis from the same people who are outraged now. Yeah, how much more can I add to that?
And by the way, I don't even think you necessarily need the religious component to that.
There is a reality component to that.
So you don't have to be Catholic to believe in family and marriage and those things.
You know, I've mentioned this before, but my mom, when my parents, my parents who are now married, I think 51, 52 years, still live in the same home that I grew up in since 1979.
We moved there when I was three.
My mom were, I'm the oldest of three.
My mom worked.
Before I was born then she stopped working took care of me my brother who's three years younger and my sister who's nine years younger She didn't work those years and she was home to make us breakfast in the morning and to be home when we got home from school and take us to sports or whatever it might be after-school curriculum, whatever it was and And then when my sister was old enough, my mom then went back to work and she was a nursery school teacher.
And it was pretty great.
So mom, if you're watching today, shout out to you.
Love you.
Appreciate it.
It's all good.
Like everyone knows that that would basically be the better way of doing things.
And then this is again where it puts, and now we're going to go back to Bill Maher for a second on his show, because this is again where it would put even Bill Maher, who is an atheist, who is a lifelong bachelor, who does not like children.
Here he is analyzing the speech, and again, the liberal, sane position is to understand that the Catholic guy talking about family is actually kinda right.
He said, uh, some of you, talking to this, the women here, some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world.
Okay, that seems fairly, like, modern.
But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.
I don't see what the big crime is.
I really don't.
And I think this is part of the problem people have with the left, is that lots of people in this country are like this.
Like he's saying, some of you may go on to lead successful careers, but a lot of you are excited about this other way that people, everybody used to be, and now can't it, can't that just be a choice too?
And I feel like they feel very put upon, like there's only one way to be a good person.
And that's to get an advanced degree from one of those asshole factories like Harvard.
The only way you can become a good person is if you go to Harvard, get $300,000 into debt, and become a Hamas supporter on the other side.
So again, I'm showing you that because Bill gets it.
So that's the good news there.
The average liberal sees that.
These are inherent truths that we all know.
I want to show you one other thing as it relates to all of this.
Here's a video of Gracie Hunt.
She is the daughter of the Kansas City Chiefs owner and despite all of the blowback that he was getting and people wanted him to be let out of his contract and fired and kicked out of the NFL and all the rest of it, here she is defending him.
unidentified
The reaction from the Hunt family regarding the kicker, Harrison Butcher.
Well, I can only speak from my own experience, which is I've had the most incredible mom who had the ability to stay home and be with us as kids growing up.
And I understand that there are many women out there who can't make that decision, but for me in my life, I know it was really formative in shaping me and my siblings to be who we are.
Yeah, again, it's just true and it's right and nobody...
Nobody is saying you have to live that way.
Nobody is saying be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, right?
Nobody is saying that.
Everyone's saying look at the panoply of things that you can do in your life and what do you want to accomplish and figure out what that hierarchy is and where does being a wife or a mother or a caretaker fit into all of those things and do you think that if you just go the corporate route and put Everything you have into that thing and nothing else.
All right, so one of the other things that's interesting right now is we have seen so many people wake up to the COVID insanity.
Now, I wish more people had woken up to it during it, but we'll take it.
But one guy, a Hollywood celebrity, I don't think I've ever played a clip of this guy before, is Terrence Howard.
Terrence Howard, who's been in a bunch of the Marvel movies.
I think he's the next Captain America, isn't he?
If I'm not mistaken, isn't that how Avengers Endgame ended?
With him taking over?
You didn't watch Endgame?
You only liked those things with the little guys with the hairy feet.
He did!
He's the next Captain America.
He went on Joe Rogan's podcast and he did not get vaxxed and then sort of became very red-pilled as it pertains to vaxxes and everything.
And listen to Terrence Howard, actor Terrence Howard on Rogan, talking about COVID vaccines and the repercussions and spike proteins and a whole bunch more.
I don't know that you'd expect this from this guy, but check it out.
It'd be kind of funny if the next Captain America movie is him just explaining how we
have to take down the NIH.
Captain America goes against the CDC and the NIH.
Anyway, look, I'm not an expert in spike proteins and everything else.
However, everything he said right there is stuff that Dr.
Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA technology, who's now wildly against it, we've had
him on the show, that's what Dr. Peter McCullough, it's what he's been saying.
Dr. Drew Pinsky, it's what he's been saying.
And again, this is one of those things where I think we don't all need to have the perfect scientific document in front of us to analyze it,
but an awful lot of people, every single one of you watching this,
you have the same experience that I have, which is that you know an awful lot of people
who regret that they got vaxxed and really regret that they got boosted.
And I don't know anyone that did not get the vax.
And it's like, I sure should have got that vax.
And that is a huge problem.
So the reason I'm showing you that as another one of these good news clips is that more and more people are waking up.
And now check this out.
Surprise, surprise.
This is from Breaking 911.
Breaking, former NIH director, Dr. Francis Collins testified behind closed doors to the select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic earlier this year and admitted that the six foot separation or social distancing he parroted during the pandemic was scientifically unfounded.
Isn't that something, guys?
They are now admitting social distancing was nonsense.
It was completely made up.
And the masks.
Complete nonsense.
It was going to come out of the mask one way or the other, right?
All complete nonsense.
Fauci knew it was nonsense.
They all just went along with it.
So why is that a good news clip on a good news Tuesday?
Because they're admitting it now.
We thought we'd throw you to this one.
This is at, this is December 21.
So this is still really the height of the pandemic, I suppose, to some extent.
I had just fled California for the free state of Florida.
Here is Dr. Francis Collins doing, I think this is called, this is science.
I believe this is science.
unidentified
Somewhere past the pandemic, When we're free, there's a life I remember full of activity.
Yeah, well, Fauci, it turns out that the six-foot thing was bullshit, and the mask thing was bullshit, and you forgot to put a vax in the vax, and people didn't get to go to their grandma's funerals, and you set children back years because of speech issues because they couldn't see their teachers' faces or weren't even in class or anything else.
God only knows what other anxiety riddled conditions you've given to young people who learned on Zoom and were basically playing video games and watching porn all day or whatever you freaking people pushed on the rest of us.
But he's very concerned about the politicians.
It's the politicians who dare question him because he is the science, right?
Can we find a video of him being political?
Do you think you could do that by the time I say count to one, two, three?
Those fucking Republicans don't want to be told what to do.
I'm the science over here, dude!
Come on!
Oh my god.
Absolutely awful.
So a bunch of people who did not deserve our respect or our attention, or certainly the acquiescence that many of us gave to them as it pertained to our own health, They are still out there right now and basically more and more people are looking at what has happened over the last couple years and going, I do not buy any of this.
I want to throw to this one.
This is from a couple of years ago.
This is now disgraced journalist Brian Stelter who got fired from CNN and then of course got a job teaching journalism at Harvard because, you know, that's kind of how the whole thing works.
Here he is, you may remember this one, offering up to the viewers of CNN the dangers of the phrase, do your own research.
So the very thing that we were all taught in school when you were a kid, do your own research, do your research.
That's what CNN didn't want you to do during the pandemic.
It's popping up a lot in conversations about coronavirus and about COVID vaccines.
Nicki Minaj used similar wording in that tweet this week, saying she was doing research.
But this go-it-alone approach, doing your own research, it seems so innocent, but it can have serious consequences.
Let's talk about it with two actual researchers.
Yael Eisenstadt and Rene Duresta are back.
Rene, what are the roots of this phrase?
I feel like I used to hear it around QAnon craziness.
unidentified
It got a lot of coverage in the context of QAnon, but it dates back to the 1890s.
It dates back to the origin of the anti-vaccine movement, where there was a lot of debate about whether allopathic doctors or homeopathic doctors were accurate in their findings about inoculation.
The idea that this has been around forever, but now that we all have these phones, we all have this ability, do your own research, you know, it's supercharged.
And, yeah, I wonder how you view it in the context of Nicki Minaj, like this idea that, oh yeah, she's just doing her research.
Isn't that just her way of saying, I want an excuse to reconfirm my priors not to get the vaccine?
unidentified
Nobody's going to the library and looking up authoritative sources to do their own research.
They're doing a Google search, a YouTube search, and they're getting information that it is always easy to find information that confirms your biases, that points to what it is you want to know.
Now with Nicki Minaj, I don't assume ill intent with her.
But don't forget the same phrase, do your research is being peddled by some people
who do have ill intent, who want to push you down certain paths,
who want to either for profit reasons or for geopolitical reasons,
want to make sure that you are reading certain information as opposed to listening to authoritative sources.
Guys, the people who want you to do your own research, they're doing it for profit.
No, no, no.
Not the people who want to force you to get the vaccine and the booster and the booster and the booster and the booster and the booster.
The news programs that are sponsored by the very same vaccine companies, they're not doing it for profit.
It's those other guys.
You know what's funny?
I didn't even do a lot of research during COVID.
I was just like, I'm not going to listen to you schmucks.
The point is, think for yourself.
You guys get it.
But what have I shown you today?
What I've shown you is that more and more people are waking up to the nonsense.
They are not They're not just going with it anymore, right?
If you've got a spark of individuality, if you've got any free thought left in you, you should not be going for what the culture and what the mainstream and what the Democrats and what the left are offering right now.
And now that's actually bearing out in the numbers.
Because today is Good News Tuesday, so we'll get to that in a second.

Okay, so let's jump over to that Bill Maher guy.
Again, it's not about whether he pulls the lever for Donald Trump in November.
It's about how many people, by him being just a freaking remotely sane liberal in a time of chaos, he can help break the bullshit, right, get through the illusion, and then maybe they can get to the promised land.
Here he is talking about how Trump is now winning with young people.
I mean, that seems, that's an awful lot of lesbians.
I mean, I thought they were closing lesbian bars, but who knows?
Who knows what they're up to?
But anyway, the point is that you can't deny that there is something culturally shifting right now.
It might have a little something to do with the fact that the president of the United States doesn't know where he is or where he was or what job he was doing during the pandemic.
Anyway, let's go to, oh, that was a little sidebar.
Let's go to Oakland and see how the Democrat policies are working out.
unidentified
Drive on the busy East 12th Street, you'll come to this high-hanging stop sign above the road.
Neighbors say city workers replaced the traffic lights with four-way stop signs in the last week.
They're just telling us that the city is giving up on this.
Courtesy of Google Earth, this was how the intersection looked before.
But neighbors say those lights haven't worked in months.
They were either blinking red or completely out.
This is a brand new solution to a problem that's taken many forms here.
Mason Young lives near the intersection.
He believes the stop signs are better than non-working traffic lights, which he blamed for this crash that sent a truck into the fence of a repair shop.
We gotta stop just putting Band-Aids on things.
Although, you know, a Band-Aid's better than bleeding out.
Like that guy should live in Cali for the rest of his life.
Do you understand that they are, they have such poor management of their city that they are removing traffic lights because they are not working?
Either because they can't get people to fix them properly.
There's also, there were some stories about people that were literally removing like the transformers in, I'm not talking Decepticon Autobot, the transformers in the traffic lights to steal the electronic parts.
But there's no law and order, and now we'll just make traffic worse, right?
And everything, you guys know, Oakland has completely fallen apart, in and out, which has never closed a joint in the history of the company.
They left Oakland, Walgreens is leaving, Starbucks is leaving.
It's absolutely insane.
But speaking of insane, let's go to where else the Democrats are showing off their really fancy ways of governing.
Here's video of District Attorney Kim Fox over in Chicago introducing a policy that is most likely going to get a whole bunch of people killed.
unidentified
It's not having an impact on public safety.
State's Attorney Kim Foxx tonight tells the I-Team that before she leaves office early next year, she wants traffic stop based searches by police to be prohibited unless there is a public safety threat.
Doing these searches, again, searches that have a disproportionate impact on black and brown communities that don't net a public safety benefit, we should not do that.
Under this newly drafted State's Attorney policy that has been obtained tonight by the I-Team, traffic stops for routine, minor infractions would not be allowed, and the State's Attorney would decline to prosecute cases that are solely the product of a non-public safety traffic stop, even if a gun, drugs, or stolen property were found during the subsequent search.
For instance, the case of Dexter Reed.
If he hadn't been stopped under a policy that would prevent non-public safety kinds of stops, he would probably still be alive today.
But at the same time, you'd have an individual with a gun.
Where's the balancing factor in that?
I would also say we'd have a police officer who wasn't shot in the line of duty as well.
So not only will they prosecute less for basic traffic issues, which you need to do that.
You need to have basic law and order, right?
You need to do that.
But then they pull you over.
They're like, oh, you know, you didn't stop at that stop sign.
They pull you over.
There's a gun and a pound of weed over there.
No, I can't look at that.
They will destroy, if you don't think Chicago has been destroyed enough, it will continually get destroyed.
This is coming and or in every blue city at this point.
And now let's go to the truly the clown car of progressive stupidity.
Yes, we're going to California.
Check this out.
This is from Heather McDonald.
She's been on the show.
We should get her back on.
She's just fantastic.
And she's been screaming about what progressives have been doing to our young people in our cities for many, many years.
Listen to this.
California.
is about to demonstrate what a world constructed from the tenets of critical race studies looks like.
Starting this year, anyone serving time can retroactively challenge his conviction and sentencing on the ground of systemic racial bias.
The Racial Justice Act passed in 2020 without meaningful public review Turns longstanding academic tropes about implicit bias and white privilege into potent legal tools.
In other words, the bill is a ticking time bomb.
Serious offenders can allege bias merely by showing that a disproportionate number of those convicted of crimes in a county are minorities.
Here's an example of the RJA in action.
The thinking behind the Racial Justice Act will soon expand to other policy areas and likely to other blue states.
Unless voters repeal the law, California is about to become more violent and the promise of equal justice less credible.
Do you realize, guys, how insane that is?
You will have all of these convicted criminals, people who have raped people, people who have murdered people, all sorts of stuff, Saying, get my lawyer, I want to look at the numbers.
Oh, is there too many black people in jail?
This is systemic racism and they're literally going to do it.
You know they're going to do it.
There is no crazy that is too crazy.
They will start putting the rapists on the street and they will put the murderers back on the street.
And then you will only imagine, you don't have to think too hard as to what will happen when they do that.
Now I wanna show you one other thing.
So we're showing you all good stuff.
And even that, I'm showing you that because people will hopefully wake up to it.
But I do have on our Good News Tuesday, I do have one thing.
So this is really, really disturbing, but we're gonna end in a positive way.
But I think it's important to show the fruits of what progressives do.
It is not just crime.
Okay, it is not just ruining the economy.
It is not just the blight you see on the streets.
It is that these policies literally kill people.
So this is about a minute long compilation just of young people who have died because of fentanyl.
These are the people who are dying because we have allowed fentanyl to just pour through our southern border.
We don't arrest criminals properly or any of those things.
And I think that there's just some heft to this.
It's powerful.
unidentified
There's something happening here. It is exactly. There's a man with a gun over there.
I got to be where I think it's time we stop children. What's that sound? Everybody look what's going down.
The reason I wanted to go heavy-handed on that is because sometimes when we talk about the crime or, okay, the traffic lights aren't working, it starts becoming sort of, like, ephemeral.
You can't really, like, associate with it, or if you don't live in a place like that, you don't realize that it's affecting people.
Those are all just young people who maybe did it once, or fentanyl was put on their weed.
That's it.
It's over.
One-year-old kid.
So how do we end this show properly on a good news day where I just showed you something that's probably as disturbing as anything we've ever showed you in all the years we've been doing this?
Well, yesterday I had James Lindsay in here, and James has been warning about what wokeness and critical race theory and DEI would do to our system, what it would do to our country, and he has largely been right about all of that.
So I asked him what he thinks we could do right now, and I thought his answer was quite spectacular.
This is the view of a society or a culture that's dying.
And I want people to reframe their heads.
Oh yeah, it's the image of a dying culture.
I hear it all the time.
I see pictures of like, you know, from the crazy stuff at Pride and they'll say this is a picture of a dying culture or the crazy stuff at the campuses or whatever.
And I want people to stop thinking that this is a dying culture.
There are a lot of ways to die, Dave.
You can get old and sick.
You can, you know, there's a lot of ways to die.
You can get shot.
This is an attempted murder on our society.
And I want people to understand that what we're witnessing is not a dying culture like, oh, it just kind of expired or something went wrong.
It got sick.
We are in an attempted murder of our society.
And if we don't start realizing it and thinking about it that way, we're missing it.
That's why, I mean, I love Joe, and that's why he's asking, why do you think they're letting people come across the border?
It's an attempted murder of our society.
Why do you think they are doing this to our kids with the stuff in the schools, the sex stuff and everything else?
It's an attempted murder of our society.
And so that's the thing I've really been chewing on all week.
And what's the, what's the positive spin that we end that with?
Okay, if we acknowledge that, so I'm with you, I agree, it's intentional, that's why I always say it's not, it's not ineptitude that has led to this, it's intent, so okay, so then, then what's the white pill on that?
Well, I think what you do is you keep Waking people up.
So now I got two more clips for you and I want to flash back now five years ago.
We played this clip on the show five years ago.
This is Dennis Prager on Bill Maher's show on Real Time talking about the trans agenda and watch five years ago Bill laughing at Dennis as he brings up something that now the left has wholly embraced.
unidentified
To say that men can menstruate is a lie, and that is now, that is what is said.
And it says, people of all genders can menstruate.
That's what Google gives you back.
So the bullshit, the injection of evil into the body, if we're trying to stop this attempted murder, we have to stop allowing that.
And how do you stop allowing it?
You keep waking people up.
So that eventually, a guy who has fought for liberalism his entire life will be more comfortable sitting with a group of right-wing maniacs on Fox News than he would with a bunch of his, let's say, co-lefties on CNN or MSNBC.
I like girls. No, I mean I was talking about this on my show last week.
I mean, we are the outlier now, the United States.
It's so funny the way sometimes the woke stuff, you know, and I always try to make this point that liberalism is not, you know, the same thing as woke.
Woke, they would like to think they're an extension of liberalism.
I'm an old school liberal.
They're not.
It's very often the opposite.
And they think they're going so far in the right direction and it actually turns out that they're in the wrong direction and they've actually reversed it because most of the countries in Europe now England, the Scandinavian countries, the ones we used to
And the conservative movement, the Y10 conservative movement, or the new sort of Trumpian Republican Party that is certainly not traditionally conservative, that's the center ground that you belong in.
Number one, apparently Bill Maher has been on The View for this past hour.
So I guess we will be covering some of that tomorrow.
And again, let's see, do they treat him, the Harpies of The View, the lefties who are all the Democrats, will they treat him with the same respect and decency and humor that Greg Gutfeld and his audience did?
I think not.
And I was also told that apparently our internet went out during this live stream, but I'd like to give a little shout out to Elon Musk.
We got the Starlink system.
We got the satellite on the roof.
And I'm told nothing, no blips, no flips, a little nothing.
It just kept on chugging on.
What a world.
Technology.
Hot diggity dog.
All right, guys, we got a postgame show coming up in 30 seconds at RubinReport.Locals.com.
