Alright people, we are live on the internet.
dave rubin
I'm Dave Rubin.
This is The Rubin Report.
It's June 12th, 2024.
We're live streaming on Rumble, Locals, and YouTube.
Share, subscribe, tap the notification bell if you haven't.
As always, post-game show about 30 seconds after the show, rubinreport.locals.com, and we are in the midst of a crazy storm here in Southeast Florida.
We do have a generator here at the house, We do have Starlink in case the internet goes down, but we shall see what happens because all hell is breaking loose outside and it's wet and there's electric wires all over the place and everything else.
You know Mother Nature.
She's a real bitch.
Big show for you today.
We're going to talk about basically the abject total meltdown of everyone in mainstream media.
They have been losing the narrative for years now and as this Trump momentum continues to ramp up despite the conviction and everything else, they are starting to freak out more and more and it's actually quite hilarious and we'll connect this to the Hunter Biden conviction which actually happened yesterday while we were live on air and then we'll talk a bit About how the bad policies of Biden, mainstream media and lies aside, the bad policies of Biden are really the thing that are causing people to wake up.
And then of course really we'll wrap it up with the good stuff, which is what I always try to do here so that you don't go on through the rest of your day feeling crazy.
Which is that there are some people out there warning us of what the problems are and actually giving some solutions.
So that is the agenda for today.
We will start in clown world with AOC.
She went on Kara Swisher.
This is one of these leftist lunatics podcasts.
And she pontificated on what might happen to her if Donald Trump was to return as President of the United States.
unidentified
What happens to you if Donald Trump wins?
What do you do?
alexandria ocasio-cortez
What's your first move?
I mean, it sounds nuts, but, like, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy threw me in jail.
unidentified
Really?
alexandria ocasio-cortez
He's out of his mind.
I mean, he did his whole first campaign around lock her up.
Like, this is his motto.
unidentified
Oh, he didn't say that, you know.
nicolle wallace
He said he didn't say that.
alexandria ocasio-cortez
Yeah, right?
I take him at his word.
I take him at his word.
I take him at his word when he says that he's going to round up people.
I take him at his word when he threatens journalists.
I take him at his word.
I feel like what we saw in his first presidency was an amuse-bouche to what his intentions are.
He has learned from his mistakes of appointing professionals, and he will not make that mistake next time.
dave rubin
Okay, so you are going to see a ton of this over the next four-ish months till the election.
It is going to get ramped up and ramped up and ramped up and even some people, I know you think AOC's nuts, she's completely bananas and she's a socialist and would love to upend America and she would love to jail her political opponents too, which by the way is exactly what the system is trying to do to Trump right now.
But you are going to see more and more of this, not just from the lunatics, but from the more mainstream people because there is simply at this point, No reason to vote for Joe Biden, right?
Unless you're a complete sellout or you wish for the destruction of America, what is there that you are supporting Joe Biden about?
Is it about his mental clarity?
Because that ain't there.
Is it about the policies on the border or the economy or what's going on with wokeness in schools and everything else?
Like, everything is wrong and more and more people are waking up to it.
So, it's not just going to be the complete lunatics that have always said Trump is Hitler and everything else, like AOC, that are going to be doing this.
It's going to be the more moderate people that will ramp it up, too, to stop Donald Trump.
Okay, so there's a couple levels of irony here.
What she is claiming Donald Trump will do And the lock her up chance?
Donald Trump didn't lock up Hillary Clinton, right?
He didn't lock anyone up, okay?
Some of his supporters, the base, might be annoyed that he didn't do some of those things and didn't drain the swamp the way he said.
But it's AOC and the Democrats and this administration and the Department of Justice that are actively trying to put him in jail now.
That's one part.
She also mentioned that he wants to round people up.
Yes, he has said he would round up illegals.
We have about 7 to 10 million illegal people in the country.
When you are here illegally, by default, by very definition of the word, you are breaking the law and you should not be here.
Now, we can have all sorts of discussions.
As I always say, what do we do?
About people who were born here.
What about what do we do about people who have been here for years and are paying taxes and are law abiding citizens and have jobs and have families?
We can have all of those discussions, but we can't have those discussions until we figure out who is here and at least get rid of the criminals.
Oh, and the terrorists who are coming through.
We'll get to that in a little bit.
But yes, this theme that AOC is pushing that Donald Trump will put people in jail.
By the way, that's not how the presidency works, right?
Like there are still I'd like to believe institutions that semi work and you can't just become president and start throwing everybody into jail, right?
I mean, even Biden and the corrupt Department of Justice and everything else, there's still mechanisms they're using to try to throw Trump in jail.
It doesn't just happen like that.
Anyway, I cannot believe they have brought this guy back.
This is so freaking extraordinary.
It needs to be studied.
What does Brian Stelter, Mr. Potato, who got fired from CNN for being completely awful at his job, right?
He was absolutely awful.
He was the joke of the world to everybody.
I miss him in a way because we used to have a lot of fun with him.
He gets fired from his job at CNN hosting a show called Reliable Sources because he was completely unreliable.
Right?
What did I always say?
If they would have just retitled the show Unreliable Sources, then you've got something that makes sense there.
Anyway, he gets fired from CNN about a year ago.
He becomes a professor of journalism at Harvard because irony is completely dead.
And now for some reason, as if there aren't enough sellout pundits there
and enough people who look like they're filled with jelly that you could put on TV,
they are bringing him back on CNN.
So I don't know if he's a contributor now or what, but here he is with CNN's Abby Phillips.
And yes, he is also ramping up the thing around Trump who will jail his opponents.
brian stelter
It's valuable to think ahead to what may happen in a second Trump term.
This is frankly speculative non-fiction, because we use the words that Trump and his allies have said, and we use them to talk about the future.
Jail, of course, is an extreme part of the spectrum.
Imprisonment is an extreme part.
But think about IRS audits.
Think about government pressure on media companies.
Think about other forms of government interference.
There are a lot of pressure points.
And frankly, Rachel Maddow's not the only member of the media thinking about this.
I've talked to the heads of news organizations, CEOs of media companies that are thinking through, not in dramatic fashion, not because they're afraid of going to jail, but because they want to know, what could Trump do to use his power in a second term to punish the media?
unidentified
And it's also now a real question whether the voters actually take that information and believe it.
dave rubin
Man, George Orwell himself, 1984, Newspeak, he would actually be impressed with what Brian Stelter just said there.
Speculative nonfiction.
Well, if it's speculative, it's fiction.
But they come up with these phrases, and then they say these things, and I suppose a certain set of people actually believe them.
By the way, when he's implying that Donald Trump might use the IRS to go after his political opponents, do you remember Lois Lerner, who was the head of the IRS under Barack Obama, and she went after all of the MAGA nonprofits?
Do you remember that?
That's what they do.
Three days after the recall of Gavin Newsom failed and I campaigned with Larry Elder, the government of California was auditing me.
That was the same day I put my house for sale, no joke.
It's the mirror thing.
Every single thing they say is what they themselves are guilty of.
But yes, it is true.
Rachel Maddow, who looks like a pencil, she is extremely worried that Trump's gonna come after her.
We've got some info here from the New York Post.
Rachel Maddow said she is worried that Donald Trump returning to the presidency could mean she might end up in camps intended to house illegal immigrants.
The MSNBC primetime host told CNN Monday that she was worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is openly avowing that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people and to root out what he described in subhuman terms as the enemy from within.
Maddow added, For that matter, what convinces you that these massive
camps he's planning are only for migrants?
So yes, I'm worried about me, but only as much as I'm worried about all of us.
When Trump invokes the Insurrection Act to deploy the U.S.
military against civilians on his first day in office, do you think he then rescinds the order in a day or two?
Okay, it's just they are ramping up the crazy again.
Maddow asked.
Remember Donald Trump's presidency the first time, where there was a lot of good and then COVID, it started getting wacky.
But remember in the 2020, sorry, before 2020, in the 2016, was it 2016, the Summer of Love?
What year was this?
Summer of Love, I'm blanking.
It was 2020, yeah.
In the 2020 Summer of Love, Oh, right, right before the election.
Sorry, I got a little crossed up there.
When violence was rampaging through blue cities and states, he didn't bring in the National Guard.
So for all of the things that they're afraid of Trump on, he actually talks a bigger game than he actually does anything.
But putting camps or making sure that you're gonna kick out the illegals is very different than arresting pencil-looking lesbian MSNBC hosts, which I have not heard him say.
And if he says it, then we'll address it then.
Here's Rachel Maddow over on the televised mental institution known as MSNBC talking to another whack job, Nicole Wallace, about that anyone, if anyone says anything about the Orange Man, because nobody's ever said anything mean about the Orange Man before, if anyone was to say anything mean about this guy, he's gonna come after them.
rachel maddow
We need to stop talking about this as a threat that's going to arrive.
That the bad thing might start happening if the election goes X way.
The bad thing is here.
The attacks on the legal system, the attacks on the election and our electoral system, those things are here.
We're living with that now.
The time to defend those things is now.
It's not November, it's now.
Because now is when the damage is being done.
nicolle wallace
You know, I had George Stephanopoulos on and I asked him some of these questions and I said, you know, I was swatted and it's a tactic meant to terrify you, right, because people come to your house and your family lives there and we talked about doxxing and there's so much that people don't surface, right, but the tactics that everyone on Earth won in a fact-finding position.
And many of the folks we have on TV, former law enforcement, former prosecutors,
all, you know, you ask two questions, you scratch a little bit,
and you realize that everybody is under threat.
Everybody who writes a story has either been doxxed or swatted or threatened to be those things.
People that cover the Trump story live differently, right, now than they did eight years ago.
unidentified
This is such, I cursed a lot yesterday.
dave rubin
This is such extraordinary BS.
It's off the charts.
People who say mean things about Trump and write about Trump are under threat.
Ask the January 6 people who are in jail right now, in solitary confinement, who's under threat.
How come the base of the Democrat party, the Antifa Hamas crew, and we'll get to them in a little bit too, how come none of them are in jail?
How come nobody who just defaced monuments in front of the White House is in jail, right?
Like every single thing they say is a lie.
It's incredible.
Again, you have to admire it to a certain extent.
Not what they do, but how they do it.
That they can give you the 180 reverse of the truth on everything and say it with a straight face.
I honestly do not know.
I don't know if this is, you know, like invasion of the body snatchers or what.
I don't know how people could do it.
I could never do it.
I could not do it.
Anyway, Elon Musk saw that clip and read the previous piece that we read for you a moment ago.
He saw that clip though, and he wrote this, LMAO, laughing my ass off, nobody cares because nobody is buying this epic, Nonsense anymore.
But it's all they have.
That's the thing.
They're going into the well going, man, there's not much left here.
We got to keep digging to dredge up something.
And all they can dredge up is fear.
And by the way, as I've said, it's going to continue to get worse.
And you're going to see more and more people you think are sane who are going to go in on it, right?
Because they want to stop Trump at all costs.
By the way, when they talked right there about when Maddow talked about that it's the Republicans and the Trump people going after after the legal system.
It's Trump right now who is facing jail time.
We'll find out on July 11th.
When she said it's Trump and the Republicans going after the electoral system,
it's you guys trying to take the Republican nominee off ballots in several states.
It's you guys who don't want people to have IDs to vote.
So who is really going after the electoral system?
You may remember this one from a month ago, Nicole Wallace, what she's gonna, what Trump's gonna do to her,
which I'm kind of for, but all right, whatever.
nicolle wallace
I've seen that toast a bunch of times, but it landed very differently this year.
Because depending on what happens in November, seven months from right now, this time next year I might not be sitting here.
There might not be a White House Correspondents Dinner or a free press.
While our democracy wouldn't exactly fall apart immediately without it, the real threat looms larger.
A candidate with outward disdain, not just for a free press, but for all of our freedoms, and for the rule of law itself.
dave rubin
Nicole, I'll talk directly to you here.
You are not part of the free press.
You are a paid propagandist who works at a giant organization, MSNBC, and you are paid to sit there and read off your teleprompter and promote the government Democrat deep state, whatever you wanna call it, narrative.
You are nothing close to a journalist and you probably shouldn't have that seat near
because you should be fired for gross negligence, not because Donald Trump is gonna jail you.
We'll talk more about why you shouldn't believe the media in just a moment, but let me tell you guys
about Native Path.
Guys, heart disease, blood clots, strokes, kidney failure, this all can be found on the back of an ibuprofen bottle.
And to top it all off, ibuprofen doesn't even get to the main cause of your pain and swelling problems.
It's only temporary relief, and it's only masking the true problem, which is inflammation.
Ibuprofen isn't a solution to your pain.
Ibuprofen isn't only ineffective, it's downright dangerous, especially for seniors.
That's why researchers are saying to add this Antarctic super nutrient to your diet.
I'm talking about omega-3 fatty acids, but not just any form of omegas.
These are omega-3 fatty acids sourced from wild-caught krill.
The omega-3 content from krill oil has been shown to support healthy blood pressure,
circulation, brain health, as well as reduce inflammation, swelling, and joint pain.
In fact, it can outperform ibuprofen, Advil, and Tylenol, and it doesn't have the dangerous side effects
mentioned above either.
Better yet, for a limited time, you can grab Native Path Antarctic Krill Oil
for as low as $23 a bottle.
Just go to getnativepath.com slash Rubin right now to get your special offer
for being part of the Rubin Reports audience.
You can find the link right below the video are watching at this very moment, and now back to me.
Okay, so what else is going on with the news?
Well, there was a big thing yesterday.
The crack-smoking prostitute hanging out with a totally unqualified energy consultant
for a Ukrainian company, son of the president, who also banged his dead brother's wife.
Yes, that's true too.
He actually got in a bit of trouble.
I'm shocked and appalled, but I think you'll see how it's a real bait and switch in just a moment,
but we'll give you the straight up part first from NBC News, Hunter Biden trial live updates.
President's son guilty on all three charges in federal gun case.
The jury deliberated for only three hours on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning before reaching the verdict.
Okay, now what much of this, and we'll get to why this is actually complete nonsense, because I know a lot of you are going right now or some, well, you guys are bright, but there are a lot of people out there that are like, oh, well, they have Trump on a felony and now they've got Hunter on a felony, so everything must be equal.
But no, no, no, that's actually not what's going on here.
So we'll get to that in a moment.
But first I wanna show you a compilation Of mainstream media, of the mainstream media discrediting Hunter Biden's laptop because the evidence of the crime that he is now found guilty of came out on the laptop.
And as you guys know, 51 former intelligence officials told everybody before the election that it was complete nonsense and it was Russian misinformation.
Somehow I didn't fall for it.
Donald Trump at the debates was saying it was real.
Why is it that the media lied and lied and lied and lied and lied, and it's only now, in the trial of the crack-smoking prostitute-having-illegal-gun-stun of the president, that they are admitting that their laptop is actually real, because the evidence was freaking on the laptop about the gun and much more.
So here's just 90 seconds of the mainstream media lying about that.
brian stelter
Go ahead.
joe biden
No.
No, I probably best I don't.
unidentified
Obviously, we're not going with the New York Post story right now on Hunter Biden.
This is really one of the stupidest October surprises I've ever seen.
brian stelter
It helps to really view this as storytelling.
Not so much as news coverage, but as political entertainment.
tucker carlson
NPR explained, we don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories.
donald j trump
Who even thought to make that story up?
unidentified
It's a story that many intelligence experts say has all the hallmarks of a foreign interference campaign.
It looks like it's tied to Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
This is a Russian intelligence disinformation campaign.
Foreign intelligence operation.
jonathan haidt
Intelligence.
unidentified
Rudy Giuliani was not fed passively Russian disinformation.
He ordered off the menu.
brian stelter
This is a classic example of the right-wing media machine.
donald j trump
And he's in the midst of a scandal.
unidentified
He's not.
donald j trump
And he's taking- He's not.
unidentified
No.
joe biden
Of course he is, Leslie.
brian stelter
We should note Hunter Biden isn't running for president.
That argument has been debunked.
jonathan haidt
There is no evidence that Joe Biden did anything wrong.
brian stelter
For all we know, these emails are made up.
It just lacks credibility.
unidentified
Okay, I would love if you guys would start doing that digging and start doing that verification.
No, we're not gonna do your work for you.
Character matters.
joe biden
It matters.
dave rubin
Telling the truth matters.
unidentified
Being a good person matters.
I don't know why I'm crying.
dave rubin
You know, I took an acting class in around 2004 with my friend Melissa Rauch, who you may know, she was Bernadette on the Big Bang Theory, and now she plays the lead character in the reboot of Night Court.
I don't think in the five weeks of acting classes that I took, and I was quite good, they said I was one of the most gifted people they've ever seen, that I could fake cry the way Van Jones could fake cry right there.
Why did all of those people get that story wrong?
You know why they did?
Because they wanted to get it wrong.
Because they're not journalists.
When Christine Amanpour, we're not going to do your work for you.
What do you think you are, Christiane Amanpour?
You're supposedly a journalist.
I know you're not a journalist, but you're supposed to at least pretend to be a journalist.
So they are propagandists.
Really, think about it.
I got three guys in my studio with me all day long.
Perfectly fine people here.
Why is it that we didn't fall for the Hunter Biden laptop hoax, right?
Why is it that I was like, you know what, it is a little odd that the New York Post has come out with this story and you can't share it on Twitter and we kind of know that something's weird with Hunter.
Why is it that I didn't get the story wrong but CNN did and MSNBC did and all of mainstream media did and everything else?
Why is it that I didn't get the COVID thing wrong and they all got it wrong?
Because they're paid to get it wrong.
That is the purpose.
Now, you did see in there, Leslie Stahl from 60 Minutes.
This is one of the most famous ones of all of this.
Because in October of 2020, right before the election, when Twitter, because of their connections with the government, was suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the 51 intelligence officials went out there and said it was Russian misinformation, Donald Trump was interviewed by Leslie Stahl, again, just a few weeks before the election.
And they were talking about the Hunter Biden laptop, and just watch this one.
It's an oldie but a goodie, and it's just important to remember these things, because otherwise the descent to hell will just be endless.
unidentified
You know, this is 60 Minutes, and we can't put on things we can't verify.
donald j trump
No, you won't put it on, because it's bad for Biden.
unidentified
We can't put on things we can't verify.
donald j trump
Leslie.
unidentified
You know what you told me a long time ago, when I asked why you keep saying fake, you said to me, I say that because I need to discredit you so that when you say negative things about me, no one will believe you.
donald j trump
I don't have to discredit you.
You've discredited yourself.
Leslie, you've discredited yourself.
When you say that you're not going to cover Biden, you're going to ask him what flavor ice cream he has, okay?
Instead of, why did Hunter get three and a half million dollars from Moscow?
Instead of why is an energy company paying your son $183,000 a month or whatever they're paying him and he has no experience in energy?
You know, you discredit yourself.
I don't have to discredit you.
unidentified
So this story about Hunter and his laptop.
Some repair shop found it.
I don't know anything about that.
donald j trump
I just know it's a laptop and they haven't... It's a very important issue to find out whether or not a man's corrupt who's running for president, who's accepted money from China and from Ukraine and from Russia.
unidentified
Yeah, I think that's an important issue.
donald j trump
It's incredible the way you can try and say this and sit there and look me in the eye and say it.
He accepted, buddy, his family from Russia, from Ukraine, from China, and from other places.
His brother, who didn't have experience, became a big builder in Iraq without experience.
Take a look at what's going on, Leslie.
And then you say that shouldn't be discussed.
I'm saying... It's the biggest scandal out there, Leslie, and you don't cover it.
unidentified
Because it can't be verified.
donald j trump
I'm telling you... You want to talk about insignificant things.
I'm telling you... Of course it can be verified.
Excuse me, they found the laptop.
Leslie, Leslie.
unidentified
It can't be verified.
donald j trump
What can't be verified?
unidentified
The laptop.
donald j trump
What you said.
dave rubin
Okay, so everything Donald Trump was saying there has turned out to be true and everything
that Leslie Stahl said was alive.
So Leslie Stahl, I assume she still works at 60 minutes.
Who knows?
Yeah, she still works there.
Leslie, I would, you're on on Sunday nights, I guess.
I don't watch that crap anymore, but like, lady, get on television and admit to everyone you're a fraud, or you're a paid hack, or you're working with the government, or you're just bad at your job, or resign live on air.
Say, I did one of the worst interviews with the President of the United States ever because everything he said was true, and I made it seem like he was lying or making up everything, right?
Why is it?
That Hunter Biden was working at Prisma.
Why is it that we now know that the Hunter Biden laptop is real?
What are the connections between 60 Minutes and, say, the CIA?
Are they connected?
Because 51 intelligence officials are telling you it's a lie, and that's what she's repeating to the President of the United States.
And guess what, guys?
It really could have swung the election, because do you remember this moment during one of the debates?
donald j trump
This stuff is true about Russia, Ukraine, China, other countries, Iraq.
If this is true, then he's a corrupt politician.
So don't give me the stuff about how you're this innocent baby.
Joe, they're calling you a corrupt politician.
unidentified
President Trump, I want to stay on the issue of race.
We're talking about race right now and I do want to stay on the issue of race.
joe biden
I have to respond to that.
There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what this he's accusing me of is a Russian plan.
They have said that this is has all the care for five former heads of the CIA.
Both parties say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage.
Nobody believes it except his and his good friend Rudy Giuliani.
donald j trump
You mean the laptop is now another Russia, Russia, Russia hoax?
joe biden
That's exactly what — Is this where you're going?
That's exactly what we're talking about.
donald j trump
This is where he's going.
The laptop is Russia?
Yes, Russia.
unidentified
Gentlemen, I want to stay on the issue of race, OK?
joe biden
You have to be kidding.
brian stelter
Here we go again with Russia.
donald j trump
Mr. President, we're going to continue on the issue of race.
Mr. President — It really is extraordinary going back and watching these
dave rubin
things.
We're going to continue on the issue of race.
So you have to remember, they lied and pretended that Donald Trump was somehow installed by Vladimir Putin, right?
It was Russia collusion and they kind of impeached him twice for it.
Nobody even remembers why anymore or anything related to that.
Okay, put that aside.
There is Joe Biden saying that these 50 intelligence experts have all debunked it.
And we now know that was a lie to the point that his now son, now everyone's admitting it was put in a court of law and everyone's admitting it was real and his son could potentially be in jail because of it.
Although he'll probably pardon him even though he said he won't.
Man, you start looking back and those breadcrumbs are starting to make some sense, aren't they?
Here's the cover of the New York Post when it was officially debunked, and it was debunked.
The spies who lie, the intelligence experts who falsely discredited Hunter Biden's laptop and still won't say sorry.
Like, all of these people should be publicly shamed.
Every single one of them.
What is their job?
Their job at the CIA is to have a certain set of knowledge to hopefully keep the American people safe from threats, foreign and domestic.
And they've actually weaponized it to go after the people, the domestic people in this case, the sitting president of the United States, because they do not like him.
And of course you remember, we're just doing a little trip down memory lane, they literally locked because the government was working with Twitter at the time, the pre-Elon Twitter.
They literally shut down the New York Post's account because the New York Post was saying that the Hunter Biden laptop was real.
You may remember this.
This is from Epic Times Update.
Twitter still has yet to unlock New York Post's account after it published several bombshell reports about an alleged laptop and emails belonging to Hunter Biden, according to several of the paper's editors.
I mean, really think about that, guys.
It's absolutely insane.
And let's just go a little bit further.
It was not that hard to put today's show together, was it?
Like, it was pretty damn obvious, because once you start seeing this stuff, you cannot unsee it.
How about this?
From August of 22, when it started becoming more obvious to even the brain-dead buffoons of the mainstream media that they weren't going to be able to hide the Hunter Biden laptop story anymore, here's Mark Zuckerberg going on Joe Rogan's show, basically saying that the FBI encouraged Facebook to shut down the story in the first place.
unidentified
The distribution on Facebook was decreased, but people were still allowed to share it.
So you could still share it, you could still consume it.
So when you say the distribution has decreased, how does that work?
Basically, the ranking in News Feed was a little bit less.
So fewer people saw it than would have otherwise.
By what percentage?
I don't know off the top of my head, but it's meaningful.
A lot of people are still able to share it.
We got a lot of complaints that that was the case.
Obviously, this is a hyper-political issue, so depending on what side of the political spectrum you either think we didn't censor it enough or censored it way too much, but we weren't sort of as black and white about it as Twitter.
We just kind of thought, hey, look, if the FBI, which I still view as a legitimate institution in this country, it's very professional law enforcement, they come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something, then I want to take that seriously.
Did they specifically say you need to be on guard about that story?
No, I don't remember if it was that specifically, but it basically fit the pattern.
dave rubin
Do you get that?
Do you get that?
So they don't put it in writing.
Guys, make sure that the Hunter Biden laptop story doesn't trend on Facebook.
But it's like, we can hint you enough.
Why is the FBI talking to Facebook about what news stories can trend or not?
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I am slightly sympathetic To Mark Zuckerberg in that instant.
First off, he says that he viewed the FBI as legit.
I think most of us would like to view the FBI as legit and in working in our interests and the CIA and the rest of it.
I think most people are now starting to realize that's not the case and that's a very scary thought if you think about it as far as it goes for our institutions and our ability to To have a country that is going to make sense if the people that are supposed to be protecting us are actually going after us.
But with the most nefarious part of that, let's put aside whether Zuckerberg's intentions were good or bad or whether he wanted Biden to be elected or anything else.
What he basically said there was distribution was basically declined.
So, meaning, okay, maybe some people could post it, but then I can't really tell you how many people would see it, right?
He doesn't have the numbers on that.
He doesn't know what the percentages are on that.
That's what we call shadow banning.
On Twitter, we would call it shadow banning, meaning you would tweet, and if you have a million followers, you expect, I don't know, a couple thousand people at least to see it, but suddenly you'd get no traction whatsoever.
So they can use, and this is why when we talk about AI, it's so dangerous.
Because the same people who have manipulated the system, so you see this news, or you don't see this news, or if you think this, they want you to think that, and they can shift you in every which way.
Well, wait till the robots and the machines take that over.
Then we got a bigger problem.
But the point is, all of the breadcrumbs are right in front of us, and it's really just if you want to see the truth or not.
Do you want to live in the matrix, or do you want to pull the thing out, and it's going to kind of suck for a little bit, because you're going to realize, man, I've been sitting in goo, and I'm naked, and there's a bunch of robots here.
Is anyone getting this?
Someone's getting this, right?
It's a problem, but like, you know, the truth will set you free.
Anyway, we've got more on the other side.

And now back to me.
Okay, so.
What did I say before?
Partly what the machine is doing right now is they want you to think, oh, we got Donald Trump, he's a felon, and just a week and a half later, now Hunter Biden's a felon.
So they want you to think that everything's equal, that Lady Justice has that blindfold on.
But we are going to now illustrate that no, things are not exactly equal.
So first off, this is from NBC News, some updates on the Hunter Biden situation.
Hunter Biden trial live updates president's son guilty on all three charges in federal gun case.
The jury deliberated for only three hours on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning before reaching the verdict.
Okay, so you got that part already.
But now I want to start showing you how the media, because we now know the corporate media, they do not act as journalists.
They act as activists.
How they start framing things.
So remember, Donald Trump, it was a great act of justice that they got him for his accountant miswriting something that had something to do with paying off a prostitute and that had something to do with campaign finance laws.
Nobody knows, 34 accounts, okay, fine.
But now watch as they run cover for this verdict.
Here's ABC, and they're very upset that someone smiled in the courtroom and Jill Biden wasn't there.
It's a whole thing.
unidentified
Olivia, we're looking at pictures right now of First Lady Jill Biden.
As you point out, she was there for the trial every day but one.
She was not in the courtroom for the verdict?
She was not in the courtroom for the verdict, and I can tell you, David, as I sprinted out of the courtroom to come down to you after wraps up there, she was heading in just as I was heading out.
She was rushing through that lobby, appearing.
You know, we don't know if they intended for her to not be here for Valerie, but it certainly does appear as if it's possible that they missed the reading of the verdict.
It happened quite quickly from when it came down just after 11.
Her clerk, the judge's clerk, came into the courtroom to say that the verdict had been
reached and just moments later it was being read.
And you could kind of almost sort of sense what that verdict was going to be initially
when they walked the jury in.
Again, something we have talked about before, the jury not looking at Hunter Biden.
One of the jurors actually took his seat smiling, which was quite striking to see him smiling
right before that verdict was read.
again, Jill Biden not in the courtroom.
And again, the least amount of Bidens, essentially, that we have seen in the courtroom for the reading of the verdict.
First lady not there for the verdict, though they're just about every other day of this trial to show her support.
Olivia, thank you for the call.
dave rubin
Oh my god, the guy, the crackhead's mother, the illegal gun-having crackhead who was banging possibly underage prostitutes and had a job at an energy company with no qualifications because of his dad who was the then vice president, his mother didn't get there in time for his conviction.
And somebody smiled!
You know, it's funny, we tried to find it, but when Donald Trump in the other case, not this most recent case, but remember in the New York City business case about the loans when they tried to get him on that and they did get him and he has to pay out a couple billion or whatever it is.
I remember Judge Angaran when the cameras were going around the courtroom and he was smiling.
They didn't have a problem with that when the freaking judge was smiling, but one of the jurors was smiling.
Something nefarious must be happening.
But now here's where I'm really gonna show you what the media is gonna do.
The media really is gonna run around and make it seem like Joe and Hunter and the family are victims because this is about addiction and addiction has touched us all and it's really about drug use and we should really have sympathy for these people.
Here's ABC's Terry Moran.
unidentified
extraordinary scene to watch the first lady leave that courthouse holding her son's hand.
It really was, David, and it reminds us that for all of the major implications of the first conviction of the child of a president, this is this trial inside the courtroom like virtually every criminal trial was a personal story, a personal tragedy, a family tragedy.
The guilty verdicts that the jury has handed down on Hunter Biden were verdicts not just on his conduct under law, but on his collapse into drug addiction and the consequences of it.
So many American families understand that, and now the first family has gone through it as well.
The political consequences of it may be tempered by the fact that this is a scourge that has touched so many American families, even the President's.
dave rubin
Yes guys we better have sympathy for them because yes it is true people do get hooked on drugs and that is disappointing and we've all probably everyone watching this one way or another you know someone who's who either you lost on drugs I've lost friends because of drugs or all of that stuff but but The way they are framing it, that you are supposed to be sympathetic to him right now.
Imagine if Donald Trump Jr., the President's son, President Trump's son, was caught on a laptop banging potentially underage hookers, weighing crack, having an illegal gun, all of the stuff.
Do you think that ABC would be like, and Donald Trump really does love his son, and we should be sympathetic because people do have drug use and everything else.
But don't worry, guys.
That's one of the things they're going to do.
And the other thing they're going to do is they're going to really start pushing the idea that President Biden should pardon his son.
This is from ABC's John Carl.
unidentified
And as we know, President Biden had said not long ago when asked about all of this, all of the legal trouble swirling around Hunter, that his son had done nothing wrong.
So while you had asked him and he said that he would respect this jury verdict entirely, that he would not pardon his son, I am sure there are some interesting conversations happening right now inside the Biden family and at the White House.
dave rubin
I'm a journalist, and I'm sure there were interesting conversations happening about the guy letting his son off because he could do it even though he said he wouldn't do it, and they just pretend that this is journalism.
Anyway, let's go back.
One more.
It's about addiction, and we better be sympathetic because it could happen to almost everyone I know.
Really.
Growing up, I knew a lot of people whose Parents were by their vice president or president and who were crack smokers and banging underage prostitutes.
And all my friends worked for Burisma, this Ukrainian energy company, and they got all this cash.
It was like pretty much everybody.
So I am very sympathetic to this.
nicolle wallace
You could talk a little bit more about this.
mika brzezinski
It seems to me that it would be very hard to find a jury that has been untouched by addiction completely.
unidentified
Yeah, and the reason that I wanted to come forward and write about this is because even though I've been sober since I was a teenager, I felt that The disease that Hunter Biden has is the same disease that I have.
It's the same disease that, you know, almost 20% of the country has.
And, you know, Republicans do love to talk about, like, fentanyl coming over the border.
Like, there's a reason that these, that, you know, drugs are a problem in this country, and it's largely because of addiction.
So this is another part of that.
dave rubin
Okay, okay.
Everyone's been touched by drugs.
Again, like, joking aside for a second, okay, we can all be sympathetic to family members that get hooked on drugs or anything else.
People that die by drugs, the fentanyl crisis, you're right.
I don't like this thing where they call it a disease.
Like, it's an action, not a disease.
But let's put that aside for a moment.
You see what they're doing.
Again, imagine if this was a Trump kid.
Oh my god, it's better.
We've all been touched by this, so we better be sympathetic.
And I do hope that he'll pardon his son because we've all been.
But okay, remember before I said that this is actually a trap?
What they're trying to do right now is make it seem that the Hunter Biden We'll get to that in just a second.
so that'll make it so the average kind of, you know, just NPC person, non-playable character person,
will be like, oh, the justice system is equal.
Well, no, it's a complete farce.
We'll get to that in just a second.
Let me tell you guys about pure health research.

That's GetLiverHelp.com slash Reuben. And now Okay, so now I really wanna kind of drill in on how the mainstream media is going to frame this thing.
They are going to tell you, repeatedly, that this proves now, because they got Trump on a conviction, and now they got someone whose last name is Biden on a conviction, that the justice system is equal.
And then we are going to debunk that nonsense.
So here's Chuck Todd doing just that.
chuck todd
I also want to, but I want to pull back even more here.
There's not many countries in the world where the son or daughter of said country uh... would get prosecuted uh... in their judicial system this is how different america is and i do think that this is a this is a really good day for the american system okay that that you know what it really does try to operate you know no one says it's perfect we have plenty of flawed individuals in the judiciary branch we learn about more and more of them every day some days
But the system itself, the whole idea of it, today in that sense was a good day.
I mean, think about this.
I think it's possible that there is a contrast here that the public may see between how Trump and his partisans handle the rule of law versus how Biden and his partisans handle the rule of law.
And I'll be honest, I personally am just...
You know, this is one of those cases where I don't think it's brought if Biden's not President of the United States.
You know, this is one of those things, if Biden had chosen not to run in 2018, I doubt Hunter Biden's ever prosecuted for something like this.
In some ways, we may look back on this and say he was held more accountable because of who he is, not less accountable because of who he is, which would be a different aspect of this.
dave rubin
OK, so you see what Chuck Todd did right there.
This is a great day for democracy.
They're going after the president's son, right?
So he's trying to show you that this is all legit, because what they want to do is take Hunter Biden and make this all about the illegal gun purchase.
And then his dad can either pardon him or not on that.
My guess is he will not spend a day in jail.
But they want to equate that with the Donald Trump complete sham trial.
So for an explanation of that, here is Vivek Ramaswamy, who did it quite well.
unidentified
So Hunter Biden was convicted.
Big freaking deal.
This trial was a sham.
Just like the Trump trial, it was a sham, but a sham for a different reason.
It's a sham designed to legitimize the Trump conviction.
That's why it came right after, even for charges that date way far back.
But it also avoids accountability for the Biden crime family on the actual things that Hunter Biden should have been charged for.
Like, for example, peddling foreign influence while his actual father, Joe Biden, was the Vice President of the United States.
Hunter had no business serving on the board of a Ukrainian energy company, a state-affiliated energy company, that's affiliated with the same country, Ukraine, that his father, now as the U.S.
President, is sending hundreds of billions of dollars of your taxpayer money to.
That's where the real crimes lie.
So this deflects accountability for the actual investigations that are more close to implicating Joe Biden while coming in convenient timing right after the sham Trump conviction in the veil of bipartisanship.
Don't buy it.
I said this before.
I'll say it again.
This is a smokescreen and the reality is you got to cut through it to get to the essence of what's happening in this country.
dave rubin
Yeah, Vivek is completely right on that, so you get it.
The gun charge, oh my god, that it was an illegal gun purchase, that is what they're saying they're getting, or they're getting him on that.
That is a fact.
They are getting him on that.
Whether he serves jail time or not is irrelevant.
They're getting him on that because they want the average person To now be like, oh, I remember what happened to Trump last week, and he's a convicted criminal, and oh, they also did it to the president, and he's a convicted criminal, except they're getting him on the wrong crime.
The wrong crime is everything having to do with Burisma, the energy company, and now we're giving hundreds and hundreds of millions and billions of dollars to Ukraine.
That is the problem.
He only had that job because of who his dad was.
Of course, the other problem is that people aren't buying.
The fact that Trump is now a convicted felon.
We will see if he serves any time for that.
We'll find out again on July 11th.
It's gonna be a big day.
But people are not buying it and they are not buying anything that the Biden administration or their clowns in the mainstream media, who we've shown you here, are selling.
Tim Dillon, comedian Tim Dillon, was on Joe Rogan's show and he was talking about how Trump's gonna beat Biden from jail.
tim dillon
I definitely think there's a little bit of that going on.
I don't think that's... Trump will beat him, I think, from jail.
unidentified
Yeah, 100%.
tim dillon
Trump will win... Yeah, but I don't know if it's real.
Yeah.
I don't know.
joe rogan
I mean, look, I don't want to cry election fraud, but why would I imagine that they would manipulate everything Openly accept the election.
tim dillon
But this is what I'm saying.
But this is what I'm saying to you.
Is it not possible that they haven't gone off Joe Biden because there was some in the last election?
Well, is it not possible to some degree that they have this rabid insistence on this clearly a dementia-ridden guy because their promises have been made
and there are people in positions of power that could speak?
I don't know anything.
I'm just...
That's a possibility.
I mean, it's just a guess, right?
Who knows?
I'm just asking the kinds of questions that people on Twitter will call me a name for
unidentified
asking.
dave rubin
It's worth asking all of these questions, right?
Putting aside election fraud and everything else, why is the system running cover right now for a man we all know who has dementia, who the corruption around him stinks to high hell?
We see now, I mean, we've shown you in the last 45 minutes, we've shown you plenty of the evidence of how they've run cover for him to all take out Donald Trump.
And why is it they fear Donald Trump that much?
So you don't have to, it doesn't matter what you think about election interference and everything else.
Although Rogan does bring up an interesting point.
If they lie about absolutely everything, right, they've lied about every big story, Hunter Biden, laptop and COVID.
And we, we, I do this every freaking day.
Brett Kavanaugh is a serial rapist.
The company kids are racist.
Smollett was going to be lynched, all of this stuff.
If they lie about every single thing, then why wouldn't they lie about that too?
What would you do to stop a man who you thought was Hitler from becoming president?
Would you shoot baby Hitler?
That's the old thought experiment.
Would you shoot baby Hitler?
What would Rachel Maddow do to stop Donald Trump from becoming president if she thought she was going to be put in a camp with illegal immigrants?
I guess she doesn't like illegal immigrants that much.
They're not huge fans of lesbians, who knows?
But I think all you really have to do is something that I read that Twitter thread from David Sachs the other day.
David Sachs, former CEO of PayPal, huge tech magnate, billionaire, and he hosted a big fundraiser for Donald Trump.
And in his Twitter thread where he said, why did he do it?
Because he didn't, I don't think he voted for Trump last time, but he's come around.
He said, one of the things you have to do is just a simple A-B test.
This is what you do when you're building a platform.
Some of you who have been with me on Locals for years, we used to A-B test things with you guys at the beginning of Locals all the time.
Like, does this work?
Does that work?
You know, if we do this button for pictures, what happens?
Do you want the feed to be this way?
You do A-B tests.
Oh, and you test it for a little while and then you compare them and you're like, oh, this one is empirically better than the other.
Well, I think at this point, we can empirically look At the Trump presidency, pre-COVID especially, and what's happening right now with the Biden presidency, and see that things clearly were better under Donald Trump, that he was a better president for all of his flaws, and for everything that happened even with COVID, that he was a better president.
Right now, as it stands, we have Russians in the South of America.
Do you know that there are Russian warships?
Did you see that on mainstream media?
They are not too far off the coast of Florida.
Thank God my house is built in full cement.
And we also have terrorists in the North.
We'll talk about that in just a second.
But yes, this is happening right now.
Russia has moved warships over to Havana, Cuba to conduct exercises.
Cuban Missile Crisis 2?
I don't know.
Let's look.
unidentified
Okay, so we didn't add that music in there.
dave rubin
That obviously ramped up the drama.
Connor, that wasn't you.
That was the original video footage.
But basically, Russia has warships right now about 30 nautical miles off of the Florida coast.
I'll give you some more info on that in just a second.
And it's like, do you think that that's Maybe.
Maybe.
Like, am I a complete conspiracy theorist or what?
Do you think that's maybe because Russia is now testing the United States?
You know, we're basically on the border of Russia because we're just funding Ukraine to fight Russia, a country that it cannot defeat in conventional warfare.
And Russia's like, you know what?
Biden's kind of weak.
There's an election coming up.
America seems like it's falling apart.
Who believes this guy?
Why not let's send a couple ships to 30 miles off of Florida, off of the American coast.
That is literally what's happening right now.
We've got a tweet and some images from Civil Defense News.
Alert, Russian fleet are currently only 26.4 nautical miles off the Florida coast near Key Largo.
U.S.
warships and aircraft are shadowing them.
Possible showdown coming.
So look, I don't know exactly what's going on here.
It could be a lot of chest thumping and bumping and the rest of it, but it seems to me That Russia would not have had the balls to move warships 30 miles off the coast of the United States if Donald Trump was still president.
By the way, my trusty editor back there, Joey, is going to Key Largo this weekend, I've been told.
Well, that's a shame.
That's a shame.
unidentified
Maybe he should... Maybe... What about...
dave rubin
Yes, that sucks.
So if our editing's a little weird next week, you'll find out why.
Anyway, a little bit more from U.S.
Civil Defense News.
Update.
If the Russian nuclear submarine launches its 4,500 Kalibr-M nuclear-tipped missiles at D.C.
and New York from off the coast of Florida, the U.S.
will not be able to stop them or shoot them down.
No Patriot missile defenses are deployed within the United States.
Okay, so again, I'm not doing this to fearmonger or anything else.
It is a little concerning that Russia has these ships.
Miles off our coast, we don't have Patriot Missile Defense Warnings, and we clearly don't have any deterrence.
And do you think it's possible that Putin might just be like, you know what?
I've had it with this war.
They are gonna fund this thing to the tilt.
Instead of me having to nuke, say, Belarus or Ukraine, which is right on our border, actually, why don't we just nuke Florida?
Or why don't we nuke D.C.
or New York?
So we're just gonna move some ships there.
We could be getting into a Cuban Missile Crisis, too.
Again, I am not saying that.
to freak you out, even though I freaking live in South Florida. Like, I'm not thrilled about this
thing. I'm just saying like, this is what bad policies wrought on all of us. And you know what
also bad policies do? They open up borders and then you let seven to 10 million illegals in.
And then this happens. This is from MSN or this is from NBC.
Uh, there's a bunch of ISIS terrorists in the United States. We caught a couple of them, but who
knows how many there are.
unidentified
back home now to the terrorists across the country.
We've learned several men with suspected ties to ISIS living in the U.S.
have been taken into custody.
Julia Ainsley is with us with more.
Julia, what happened?
Lester, the eight suspects are men from Tajikistan who were all arrested by ICE over the weekend in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and New York.
Sources familiar with the matter tell us the men crossed the southern border, some over a year ago, and that border agents found no evidence of terror ties at the time.
A recent FBI probe then uncovered the eight men may have ties to ISIS, similar to a case we first reported here at NBC News last month.
That one involved an Uzbek migrant in Baltimore with suspected ISIS ties.
Tonight, the FBI and DHS say the suspects are now in ICE custody and warn that the U.S.
is in a heightened threat environment for terrorism.
dave rubin
All right.
So, you know, we did let in seven to 10 million illegals and we caught eight ISIS guys.
Do you think they're the only ISIS guys?
Do you think?
Do you think?
And guys, this is to the backdrop of October 7th and everything else that's been happening in the country for the last couple of months where masked Hamas supporters Are now openly brazenly wandering around the streets of D.C.
and New York and every Democrat-run city and everything else.
And then, of course, the other problem here is that the Democrat Party is supporting all of this.
So the base of the Democrat Party is radically anti-American right now.
And Joe Biden doesn't know what to do with that.
Here he was giving a speech yesterday.
No, are we doing the subway thing now or the Biden thing?
Oh, you know what?
We'll hold that for just a moment.
Check this out, since I mentioned New York City.
This is the New York City subway yesterday.
For me, as someone that lived in New York City for, you know, 15 years, there were times that my family, in the early 1900s, we had over a hundred family members living in New York City.
We have one cousin left, one, like, distant cousin of mine, because everyone has left.
This is the subway in New York City.
Check this out.
unidentified
Raise your hands if you're a Zionist!
Raise your hands if you're a Zionist!
This is your chance to get out!
Get out!
This is your chance to get out!
Okay, no Zionists, we're good.
Woo!
No Zionists here.
Guys, this is terrorism.
dave rubin
Terrorism is not just blowing up subway cars, which, by the way, these people will do, and they will blow up planes.
That's the only thing the Palestinian movement has ever exported, which is terrorism.
Sixteen percent of New York City is Jewish.
Now, you don't have to be, first off, they're only, when they say Zionist, Zionist just means that you believe that the Jews have a connection to the ancient land of Israel and you believe the state should exist.
It's not just Jews that believe that.
There are literally hundreds and hundreds of millions, if not billions, of Catholics and Christians and atheists and everyone else who believe that.
But they would only be subjected to this, right?
It's only the Jews that would be subjected to this.
That is a type of terrorism.
You have masks wearing people, threatening people.
Imagine if you were just a young family.
Imagine if you were just a young family who happens to be Jewish sitting on that subway train, what they would do to you.
But they will do jack shit in New York City.
It's built in.
Eric Adams will give speeches about, no, we don't tolerate hate here.
And that is what will happen there.
And the problem is that the base of the party are these people.
So now let's get to the Biden video.
This is yesterday.
He was giving a speech and the pro Hamas base.
They're not so thrilled with him even.
joe biden
I'm here to say, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart-
unidentified
He's getting his gun in a tie!
That's all I have.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No.
No, no, no.
Folks.
Folks.
It's okay.
Look.
joe biden
They care.
Innocent children have been lost.
They make a point.
Come on now.
unidentified
Thank you for honoring gun violence to survivors.
dave rubin
How absolutely fucking pathetic is that man?
They make a point, innocent children have died.
Innocent children have died because of Hamas, because they use human shields.
There are still five American hostages that may or may not be alive.
That man has not uttered their name once, as far as I know.
Shouldn't every American know the names of the five American hostages who have been held underground in Gaza for the last nine months?
What an absolutely pathetic, mind-muddled buffoon who nobody actually believes is the real president of the United States.
And Vladimir Putin is laughing at as he sends nuclear submarines to 30 miles off our coast.
It is so fucking pathetic.
It's, it's extraordinary.
That's how pathetic, I wasn't going to, I wasn't going to drop the F bomb today.

Motherfucker!

All right.
How do we wrap this all up in a nice bow?
Well, we can wrap it up in a nice bow that you have to start figuring out for yourself.
Okay, I think I've laid out a case here.
You can see through the lies of the mainstream media.
That is one thing.
But as I keep talking about that, AI is going to now be a part of this.
We are going to just be hit and manipulated in a million ways.
It's not only algorithmic manipulation.
We are gonna be manipulated by the video that we see and the audio that we hear, the deep fakes, everything else.
Like we are just, if you think things have been crazy, we're just on the precipice of the real craziness.
Why couldn't they put out a deep fake of Vladimir Putin saying,
we're launching the nukes to hit DC today, or Biden saying, we're launching the nukes.
Like anything could happen.
So what you have to do is with whatever little ability you have to have some control over your life and your family, you have to take some of that control back.
So let's go to that for just a moment.
Social psychologist, Jonathan Haidt from NYU, he's one of the few NYU professors that isn't completely insane.
He had four guidelines for helping young people deal with this digital madness.
And I thought this would be something that you could do in your own life if you have kids or even for yourself that might be good to disconnect us from some of the madness.

One, no smartphone before 14.
You can give them a flip phone, you send them out, give them a flip phone so you can text them, they can text you, call if they need to, but you do not give a child the internet in their pocket where strangers can reach them and they can watch beheading videos.
You don't give that to a child to have with them all the time.
Number two, no social media until 16.
The kids say this themselves.
18-year-olds say this.
They wish that this didn't exist, but they're stuck, they're trapped on it.
So how about we just delay it till 16?
Just don't let children go through puberty on social media.
That's the really vulnerable time.
Third norm, phone-free schools.
Imagine, for those of you who went to school before the internet, imagine that the school had a new rule.
You can bring in your television from home, you can bring in your walkie-talkies, you can bring in your record player, put it all on your desk, we'll give you an outlet, and you can do that during class while the teacher's talking.
This is complete insanity, but that's what we've done.
That's what we've done.
Any school that lets kids have the phone in their pocket, you know, my kids went to New York City public schools, and the rule is you can't take out your phone during class, which means that you have to hide it behind a book or under your desk if you want to text and watch video and watch porn, which the kids do.
The fourth norm is far more independence, free play, and responsibility in the real world.
Just like everyone had until the 1990s.
There can't be an adult guarding them all the time until they go to college.

All right, so I know this is, it seems like a bit of a big jump to end a show with, right?
We're talking about huge worldwide problems and deep corruption and media lies and all of those things.
But it all, that all kind of sits on the back of the misinformation and the confusion.
I don't like the phrase misinformation, but the confusion that young people now have
as it pertains to anything that is true or false or what real history is or anything else.
And it's because we've put the most powerful technological tool in their pocket and said, have at it.
And then guess what?
A whole bunch of nefarious forces, just like the nefarious forces that work
in our mainstream media lie to us, a whole bunch of nefarious forces
are filling up their brains with bad things.
So you should listen, I would say, to some of the things that Haidt was talking about.
And then you should try to live in a place that will strengthen your ability to do just that.
That's what's happening right here in Florida.

One of the things that the bill did was said, with cell phones.
You can.
Students should not have cell phones in the classroom.
They can check them at the front of the class.
And actually, some schools say no cell phones, period.
But at a minimum, you sit in class and you learn and you can't have everybody on their phones all the time.
And so I remember when we did that, it's just kind of typical people would go, you know, they were trying to attack us.
Now, the school districts that have really embraced this, they've never done better in terms of what's happened with the classroom experience.
The students even admit it's better.
The teachers admitted better and the parents like it better.
So that has been huge to make sure that you have order in the classroom.
dave rubin
All right, I think you got it, guys.
There is a whole bunch of lies out there.
It is pushed by the people that say they are the truth tellers and they're actually the liars.
And I think we gave you ample evidence of that today.
And then you hand your kid this thing and you have no idea what they are going to do all day long on it and everything else.
And it's not just your kid.
We're all getting mind muddled by all of this stuff.
But you have a little autonomy over that.
You don't have autonomy, I guess, whether it comes to Russia bringing nuclear submarines 30 miles
