unidentified		Hey, what's going on everybody?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It is July 5th, 2024.
		That's right.
		It is America's 248th plus one day birthday.
		I'm Dave Rubin.
		This is the Rubin Report, and it's a casual Friday around here because I gave the team off for the weekend.
		So we're going to be doing a Rubin Report community Q&A and a couple of clips that we did not get to this week that I just thought were but you know, we try to do a professional program
		where everything fits.
		Some of them didn't quite fit, so we're gonna knock them out today.
		And I just hope that everybody had a really fantastic July 4th and you're having a great extended weekend
		and you ate some burgers and hot dogs.
		I hope you jumped in the pool.
		I hope you got your feet in the sand.
		I hope you jumped in the water.
		I hope you lit some fireworks and hot, I said hot dogs, orgies, whatever it is you find people do
		to celebrate this wonderful, wonderful country.
		We're going to talk about Douglas Murray, AOC, some crazy trans lunacy, all of that stuff.
		Let's talk about TWC contagion kit and then we'll get to it.
		Guys, we don't have a healthcare system in this country.
		We have a sick Pharmaceutical companies make billions,
		that's billions with a B, every single year off sick Americans,
		which means big pharma needs you to be sick to be reliant on them.
		And just like big pharma, big government wants you to feel powerless,
		like they're in control, and that you need them to protect you.
		Well, not today, Satan.
		Take control of your health with the wellness company's medical emergency kits
		designed by elite doctors, including Dr. Peter McCullough and my friend Drew Pinsky.
		These prescription kits have emerged as a keystone of many American families' emergency preparedness plans, saving thousands of dollars in unplanned hospital visits.
		So be ready for the next thing with The Wellness Company's Medical Emergency Kit, containing eight life-saving medications, including ivermectin, amoxicillin, and Z-Pak, plus a guidebook.
		To aid you in the safe use of these life-saving medications.
		The kit is prescription only.
		You can't find anything like it in a store or pharmacy.
		And every American should have at least one of these kits in their home.
		Ordering your kit takes less than two minutes and couldn't be simpler.
		Go to TWC.health slash Rubin.
		Use code Rubint.
		purchase your kit with 15% off and free shipping.
		Whether it's bird flu, monkey pox, COVID, cyber attacks, or drugstore shortages, you'll have what you need no matter what.
		Safeguard your health today by going to twc.health slash Rubin and use Rubin at checkout.
		Kits are available only in the US of A, which is 240 years old, 48 years old as of yesterday.
		And now back to me.
		All right, so this is my favorite clip of the week, and we just couldn't fit it perfectly in the narrative show that we were doing all week, but this is...
		Yes, it involves Douglas Murray and his perfect Queen's English accent.
		He was on Greg Gutfeld's show talking about what the American weakness, which is exemplified perfectly by Joe Biden at this point, what that is doing not only to this country, but what it is showing to our foes across the world.
unidentified		I would say that most members of the American public watching that debate the other night would have agreed that they would, if Joe was their father, they would take away the car keys.
		Okay?
		Now, if it's somebody you wouldn't give the car keys to, why would you give them the world's largest nuclear arsenal?
		Yeah.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I would take away his house keys.
unidentified		Yeah.
		Then you'd come and stay at yours, what?
		Anyway, but no, I think it is serious.
		The Chinese media, among others, had a great time about the debate.
		They're saying, oh, this shows why democracy doesn't work, and so on.
		Actually, it does look terrible for democracy, these two guys arguing about their golf scores.
		But it's also, you know...
		I do think that if you look at, Tyrus referred to, you know, are we taking this seriously and does the world fear America and all that sort of thing.
		I don't think that an American journalist would be currently sitting in a cell in Moscow or American hostages would currently be sitting in Gaza if the world feared America.
		That's a great point.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, so as always, Douglas is just the best.
		I thought his analogy there, that if this was anyone's father, you would take the car keys away.
		I remember when we did that to my grandma and how upsetting it was for her and upsetting for everybody.
		But we all know that would be true.
		Like, you know, you see these silver alerts, you know, that's what a silver alert is when they think an old person has gotten into the car and they don't know where they are.
		You hear these stories on local news all the time.
		And does it seem that far-fetched that that is sort of where Joe Biden is at at this point?
		Simply cannot say one sentence without meandering off or fumbling or bumbling or anything else.
		And even the teleprompter reading, as we know, it's getting worse, the slurring is getting worse, the end quote, etc, etc.
		So anyone, just the compassionate part of all of us, And I think that that's what most people were feeling when they were watching it.
		Like, yes, there was something funny about it and something ridiculous, and Trump was particularly good, but the human part of it is deeply, deeply depressing.
		That's one part.
		But the more important thing at the moment, beyond Joe Biden the man, and Jill Biden has a special place in hell for what she's doing to him, is the latter part of what Douglas talked about, which is that we are now portraying American weakness.
		Think, I said on Piers Morgan's show a couple days ago, that I would argue that right now America is in its weakest or most perilous, tenuous position, probably since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
		Like, if you are Xi in China, or you are the Ayatollah in Iran, or you're Putin, You're looking at America going, boy, I could probably do whatever I want right now.
		I'm in China.
		I could probably take Taiwan right now because what kind of leadership does America have?
		And if they think he has dementia and then he responds to us, well, that's going to cause all hell to break loose in America.
		The Iranians probably looking at a similar situation as it pertains to Hezbollah in Israel, like Putin, clearly.
		And that really is the problem.
		And this is the weakness of weakness, right?
		When you project strength, you don't have to be bombing everybody all the time.
		We were at peace under Donald Trump because he projected strength.
		You didn't know what he was going to do.
		One of the first things he did when he came into office was drop the MOAB, the mother of all bombs, right?
		He killed Soleimani.
		He did a couple things and then other countries were like, boy, that guy's kind of nuts.
		We don't know what he's gonna do.
		But if you project weakness constantly, if you don't back up your allies and all of those things, then all the bad guys kind of start looking around and seeing what they can do.
		And the fact that there are five American hostages, as Douglas referenced, somewhere underground in Gaza right now, the fact that there's an American hostage in Russia, et cetera, et cetera, it does not bode well for the direction that all of this is going in.
		How do I transition to AOC here?
		Well, from American weakness, how about to sheer American idiocy?
		This woman is just completely ridiculous.
		She's part of the Hamas caucus, as you know, but this is not a Hamas clip.
		This is just a general AOC being a complete and utter racist clip.
alexandria ocasio-cortez ▲ ● ▼		I think one of the things that we need to take a look at is the world that they're fighting for.
		A world without Diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.
		Which is to say the default.
		Which is to say workplaces that are, honestly, kind of like Congress.
		Because the population of the United States, as we mentioned, is about 59% white.
		Do you know what percentage of Congress is white?
unidentified		I don't, but I know that we finally have 60 members of the Congressional Black Caucus, which is progress.
alexandria ocasio-cortez ▲ ● ▼		But even then, 75%.
		White Americans make up 60%, 59% of the US population, 75% of Congress.
		of the US population, 75% of Congress.
		Men are 50% of the population and make about 70% of Congress.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry, lady, I don't want to live in the future that you wanna live in.
		And I know you're gonna have your corner of this country and hopefully I'll have my corner of this country
		and the two hopefully will meet as infrequently as possible.
		I don't want diversity, equity, inclusion.
		When I hire people it is based on their skill and their hard work and hopefully some imagination and grit and desire to do and build good things.
		Uh, and I think largely the businesses that I've built have succeeded because of that.
		And you are mostly concerned with what color skin someone has.
		The idea, so America is 59% white, so basically 60% white, and 75% of members of Congress are white.
		You're off by 16%.
		That's not that much, actually.
		And then, of course, the woman that's talking.
		Well, we have 60 members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
		Who cares?
		Are these people qualified?
		Do they love this country?
		Are they proud to defend the founding documents and everything else?
		But AOC is an avowed racist.
		It's not reverse racism or anything else.
		She is a racist who would love to shred the founding documents, the very thing that she was sworn in to protect.
		And people really, really need to understand that because as dysregulated as the Democrats feel right now with Biden's brain breaking down and whatever they're gonna do with Kamala and everything else, AOC is like the future star of the party.
		So you might be worried if you think there are a bunch of racist lunatics and woke, crazy people right now, like she's the future of all of this and that is a serious danger.
		And if you wanna see why it's a serious danger, all of these woke ideologies and what they do, not just at the political level and with these Silly people like AOC.
		This video was going viral all week.
		This is really, really wild.
		This is a woman who had been kicked off a plane.
		She's with a young baby you'll see in just a moment.
		And she's taking a selfie video claiming that she was kicked off of a United flight with her baby because she misgendered a non-binary flight attendant.
unidentified		Okay, so we were denied boarding myself, my 16-month-old son, my mother.
		They took our luggage on the plane, which has my thyroid medication, which I'll be very sick without, my mother's medication.
		They basically said, tough luck.
		And they won't tell me exactly what I said, but what happened, and I will tell you what happened right now, I was speaking to one of the flight attendants and got their pronouns wrong.
		The other flight attendant didn't like it.
		I said, I'm really sorry.
		They, I'm not very versed with pronouns.
		I was holding my son.
		He was having a temper tantrum.
		I had the car seat on my back.
		I wasn't really focusing on anything except getting my son's car seat on the flight and getting him comfortable and safe and him, um, cause now it's his nap time.
		You can see he's kind of falling asleep.
		Um, they're saying that like it's a hate crime that I did that I might not even be able to ever fly United.
		We don't even know how we're going to get back today.
		Um, I don't know what to do.
		Um, I really, I don't, I don't know what to do.
		I don't know what my rights are here.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I think that it's, Okay, so I can't speak to the legitimacy of her claims any more than anyone else can, but that video has now been seen millions and millions of times.
		I suspect that that woman, who seems fairly decent and sane and cogent with her little, that looked like an under, that looked like about a year old or one and a half year old baby and her mother, That they were probably not causing a real problem on the plane, and the story does kind of seem right.
		She accidentally misgenders someone, someone else gets penta next thing you know you're kicked off the plane.
		So that is why these woke things are so dangerous.
		It's not just that they talk about them in Congress and everything else, but they are breaking down the very fabric of society.
		That's just one little example of this.
		We've all seen these things, you know, the guy that walks into GameStop dressed like a woman, and the guy behind the counter is like, uh, sir, what game do you want?
		He's like, Like, we are seeing the fabric of society just kind of flit away, and that really is a problem, but I thought, okay, it's July 5th, most of you guys hopefully aren't at work, you're having an extended weekend, we're catching up on a couple clips, could we find one other thing slightly related to trans madness that will make everyone laugh, and hallelujah, we done gone fine.
unidentified		Beautiful trans women out here, tell us about your transition, how it went.
		No.
		Um, so I have a question for you.
		Why are you asking me those questions?
		We're interviewing, like, trans women and stuff like that.
		I'm not a trans woman!
		I'm a... Oh, no, no, we're fully supportive.
		Do you want to talk about, sort of, transitioning or anything like that?
		Or, like, what people can know?
		I never transitioned because I was born a woman.
		No, of course you're a woman.
		Of course.
		Does that make a trans woman any less of a woman?
		No, you are 100% a woman.
		I'm not a trans woman.
		Is there another definition that people like to use?
		You thought I was a man?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It just blows up right there.
		You thought I was a man.
		Oh, so you do think that there's a difference between men and women, and you as a woman, I don't know if you're a lesbian or not, but you're at the pride thing there, and women are women, and anyone that wants to be a woman is a woman, but then when someone thinks that you were a trans woman, aka man, then it suddenly gets offensive.
		Anyway, that thing was just...
		Blowing up across the internets as well, so wanted to show you that.
		We got one more ad for you and then we'll get to a community Q&A.

		Let's do it.
		I asked the team for some less political stuff overall this week.
		I think there's some peppered in, but I figured it's July 5th.
		Everybody's out and about.
		Let's do some fun stuff.
		Here we go.
		Mitchell says...
		Any good places the team would recommend for healthy, protein-rich smoothies in the Coconut Grove area, other than Taco Bell?
		Any taco places in the area that the team would recommend?
		Boy, really sticking it to Connor right there, who loves Taco Bell.
		First off, Coconut Grove is a little subsection of Miami, kind of on the water.
		It's just a wonderful, safe, beautiful little area.
		If you're a Democrat, please never show up there.
		It's safe and wonderful.
		Tons of great restaurants and everything else.
		I haven't had a smoothie out in a while.
		I make some smoothies over here, some protein smoothies.
		But Phoenix, what was the name of the place?
		Juice Scents?
		Juice Scents, I have been told.
		Phoenix says they have incredibly delicious smoothies.
		Maybe if you go there you'll see Phoenix.
		Who knows?
		If you see him, don't touch him.
		You can say hello, that's all.
		But Juice Scents is great over there.
		There's a couple great restaurants over there.
		I love Sushi Garage over there.
		That key, what do I love?
		Oh, cocoa.
		Oh yeah.
		Oh, so the answer to the taco thing.
		There's a great taco restaurant, Mexican restaurant called Coco, and they make a tequila old-fashioned, which usually an old-fashioned is with bourbon or whiskey, but it is just perfect.
		Joe says, do you think it's possible that RFK Jr.
		replaces Joe Biden on the Democrat ticket?
		That's Joe, not Joe Biden, unless he's a member of the community.
		Joe, no, I don't.
		I think that the Democrats have so gone off the deep end, they burned every possible bridge with him.
		As you know, the day that RFK announced he was running, well before I had ever interviewed him or got to know him, I said he would not be a Democrat by the end of it.
		I've subsequently, I've interviewed him a couple of times and we've done a few live events together.
		I think his moderate version of what a Democrat is, Just doesn't jive with the energy of the Democrat Party today.
		It just kind of is what it is.
		It is a shame, because imagine right now if it was Donald Trump versus RFK Jr.
		You may love Trump, and I'm obviously supporting Trump and like Trump and all of that stuff, but it would be a functional argument you could make on either side.
		Okay, I'm a Democrat.
		I believe in a little more big government stuff.
		I come from a pedigree and a family that was synonymous with this party and loving America and true liberalism and all that.
		There would be an argument to be made there.
		Trump can certainly make an argument for himself and what MAGA's all about and America First.
		Biden and all of the people that are now the puppet masters of Biden, they can't make an argue for Biden other than Trump is evil or the show's gotta go on.
	And that just does not work.
	But no, I don't think there's any chance in high hell that they bring in RFK.
	I think there's a chance they bring in somebody else altogether like a Gretchen Whitmer or somebody and they boot Kamala, but...
	Not RFK Jr.
	And I don't think he would do it, by the way.
	I think he fully acknowledges how crazy the party's gone.
	Shelly says, what are you grilling for the fourth?
	What did we grill?
	Well, I mean, there were burgers, there were hot dogs, there were some steaks, there was all kinds of veggies and all other good stuff, and that will continue throughout the weekend, leftovers and more meats, and they'll probably get a brisket in there on Sunday.
	We'll see what else we can do.
	Hope you guys ate some great stuff, too.
	Cool Mom says, what other proof do Democrats have that Trump intends to make himself king aside from his distrust of election results?
	What is the argument against that narrative?
	Well, there are many proof.
	Every single thing they accuse him of, of he's going to go after his opponents.
	That's what they're doing right now.
	They lie about everything.
	So there's no reason to believe that.
	First, we have a system in place.
	And for all of the flaws of the system at the moment, or at least the way people are abusing the system, the system still basically does work, right?
	We have three co and equal branches of government that have checks and balances that are watching out for each other.
	You know, AOC hates the judicial branch right now because the judicial branch is making decisions she doesn't like.
	So now she wants to pack the court and destroy that branch.
	Well, you can't do that.
	Right, like, well, they will try, but the point is that the system does basically function.
	We have a lot of bad actors and compromise actors in the system, but Donald Trump could not just magically make himself king.
	He could not just start killing people and everything else, but it's all, as long as Joe Biden, and really, I think you can make the same argument for Kamala, as long as one of these two on the Democrat side of things, all they have is fear.
	There's nothing that they could point to.
	Look at the border, it's so great.
	Like, nobody believes that anymore.
	Look at interest rates.
	They're so great.
	Nobody believes that anymore.
	Look at the price of food.
	It's so great.
	Nobody believes that anymore.
	Look what's going on in blue cities.
	It's wonderful.
	No, it ain't.
	So they have so many problems in that side that they have to just ramp up.
	He wants to be king.
	He's going to take over.
	He's going to kill everybody.
	Yeah.
	Just don't buy it.
	Don't buy it and help other people not buy it, too.
	You know, I'm not so sure.
	Next week I'm going to be in LA most of the week.
	Actually, I'm going to be in LA, Dallas, and Austin.
	I'm doing a million press hits on a gajillion podcasts.
	I'll be doing something with Bill Maher over at Club Random again and a whole bunch of other stuff that I just don't want to tease too much right now.
	I don't know when I can get out.
	You know, probably, truly, it probably won't be until the next book, which I actually do have a bit of an outline on now.
	It takes a little while to... I may self-publish it because you can do that a lot faster, but I sort of want to wait for the results of the election because everything feels so upside down right now.
	Look, I love doing The Daily Show.
	The best compliment that I ever get from you guys when you email me or I see in locals or even if I see someone at the store is that I'm making you laugh.
	So I get that comedy itch out when I'm doing this show, when we do it right, and it's silly and fun and all that stuff.
	But I think for the next book tour, which we mostly did comedy clubs and theaters and that kind of thing, Guys, let's talk about fume real quick and then we'll jump back in.
	We've all had bad habits.
	My friend was the kind you think you're doing so well going without.
	And then you're out with friends.
	And they're all reaching for their bad habits.
	And you feel that urge not to be left out and to ask to borrow one of theirs.
	Well, what if I was to tell you there's a better alternative that helps you kick your bad habit in an enjoyable way, something you can take out with you?
	Fume.
	Fume draws flavor to your mouth and fills the void.
	Ditching a bad habit can leave.
	It's not a vape.
	It has no vapor.
	It's non-toxic and it's non-addictive.
	You also won't ever have to charge it.
	Fume has served over 300,000 customers and you could be the next success story.

	And now back to me, Jilly says, I used to think the Democrats were diabolically evil, but now I'm leaning towards most are just not smart.
	How could anyone have been truly surprised by Biden during the debate?
	Do you think they, the press, were snookered or just straight up servants of the regime?
	It goes to that age old thing.
	I think that there's layers of it.
	I think there are some genuine bad actors who just lie for the system, right?
	They lie for the power structure.
	That is a certain set of people.
	Then there are people who are just sort of like kind of, they just kind of go along with everything, right?
	Like what's kind of thought of as cool right now, I'll just go along with that.
	They call that the current thing.
	Whatever the current thing is, I'm for it.
	And most people are followers, right?
	Most people are not leaders.
	Then there's also people, you have to remember, you know, a debate is a big moment that people who are kind of apolitical might watch.
	So you may not pay attention to any of this stuff.
	You may just occasionally hear about this or that or the other thing, and then you turn on the debate and you might have been genuinely shocked by how bad Joe Biden has degraded, right?
	So I think there's a lot of layers of it.
	I would say largely the Democrats and the machine that's running the Democrats.
	It's got some really bad people up top.
	I think the main driver of that is Barack Obama, who does not love this country and has been using Joe Biden to further his goals.
	And I think he really wants what would in effect be his fourth term, because he got his third term right now with Joe Biden.
	But then I think you have a bunch of really confused young people who have been fed all of the wrong information.
	I mean, that's why you see, you know, gays for Hamas and queers for Palestine and all of these stupid things.
	It's not because they believe, they don't even know what they, they literally have no idea what they believe.
	They don't know what river, what sea.
	They don't know how great they have it in America.
	They wish that they were oppressed, even though that they're not.
	All of those things.
	So I think you have a whole bunch of layers.
	It's like bad people.
	I think you have sort of like a manipulator layer.
	I think that there's also the rent-seeking layer.
	This is just people who want to just keep you perpetually upset about things for their own reasons.
	And then you have kind of like willful idiots.
	But the point is, That's not a great collection of people to be hanging out with, so I hope that's not what you're doing on July 5th.
	Elizabeth says, have Justin and Luke hit a picky eater phase yet?
	Is he?
	Just hit another one and I hope it's done soon.
	You know, they're pretty good.
	They're pretty good.
	I don't want to jinx anything.
	You know, we eat a lot of steak around here.
	They're both really, really into steak, which obviously is great for growth and for mental stuff and everything else.
	So that's been really nice.
	They love cheese.
	They're big on cheese.
	They're big on meat.
	Toast.
	Big thing lately is just toast.
	Can we just get some daddy toast, toast, toast?
	They like toast.
	Yeah, they like applesauce.
	They're not...
	They're not too picky.
	We keep them running around all day long.
	So, like, when they're getting food, they're ready for it.
	They're hungry.
	They also love coconut water.
	Coco.
	Daddy.
	The Eurasian says, are Joe Scarborough's days as a cable host finally numbered?
	I think you know why I ask.
	Yeah.
	I mean, has there been anyone in all of this Biden thing that has debased themselves and embarrassed themselves more than Joe Scarborough?
	Like he went so hard in the paint for this guy who he knew was mentally compromised.
	And he's just such a theater actor, you know, when he takes his glasses off and he looks in the camera
	and it's just all so fake and fraudulent and his wife's sitting there and you know that she hates
	him and it's just awful.
	Look, his days have to be numbered.
	His days have to be numbered.
	I think what we should pray for is that Donald Trump becomes president.
	And then all of these news organizations just have a massive reckoning.
	They're like, you know what?
	We should not have hired all of these activists.
	By the way, they would have a more vested interest in having real journalists at these organizations if Trump was president because they're going to want to go after Trump, right?
	So you won't need just like the hacks to do it.
	You're going to need or you maybe would want some actual journalists to do the work of journalists.
	So I hope his days are numbered.
	He's just terrible.
	He's just terrible.
	But also keep in mind, people are tuning out of these shows in droves.
	I think it's important that we cover, and that a lot of, not just me, but that the online people cover mainstream, because mainstream still does take a certain amount of oxygen in the zeitgeist.
	It just does, whether you like it or not.
	And we have to cover it for that reason, but these people will not be there forever.
	If our show, You know, our show on, I think it was on Tuesday, yeah, my first show back after being away for the weekend for Brock's wedding.
	Our show had 500,000 views, our live stream, on YouTube alone.
	That's not including Rumble, that's not including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, blah blah blah, for an hour and a half news show.
	CNN never gets 500,000 views anymore.
	So people are largely moving on and it would be my hope that as things correct in America that we won't need to focus on those things and we can just focus on building great things and showing people what great fun stories there are and what human exploration is about and everything else.
	Or I'll just retire.
	That would be okay too.
	Sorry guys.
	Gotta go.
	Harrison says, got any 4th of July plans?
	Well, we were with my sister and brother-in-law and their kids yesterday and pool and all that stuff.
	I think we're going to extend that over the weekend.
	Maybe try to get to the beach.
	It's a little tricky with the kids.
	A lot of sand everywhere and all that kind of stuff.
	But just be outdoors as much as possible and enjoy this great country.
	And you know, we're down here in Florida.
	There's a lot of American flags and happy people and all that good stuff.
	And we'll probably find, we'll look for some lizards.
	The kids love lizards.
	They're called Izzies.
	They love lizards.
	We hunt for lizards in the backyard.
	Final question, and then we will get to the weekend.
	Mary says, what's one of your favorite comedy TV shows or movies?
	So, TV shows, you know, I reference these all the time.
	Seinfeld is the funniest television show of all time.
	For me, Golden Girls, obviously, is right up there.
	Office is actually, the Office is actually funnier than the Golden Girls.
	The Golden Girls just holds a special place in my heart and is absolutely wonderful.
	So I would say the three sitcoms for me would be Seinfeld, Golden Girls, and The Office.
	I would also put, in terms of my formative comedy years, the original, I'd have to call it the original, Simpsons from way back when, which is now on its 34th season, and I watched an episode, I haven't watched an episode in a couple seasons, probably five years.
	I watched an episode on a plane the other day and it's just, it's like embarrassing because it's a parody of itself at this point, but I don't even want them to end it because I feel like if they end The Simpsons, America is officially done.
	Like then what do we possibly have left that connects us to the old world?
	But those first 10 or even 12 seasons of The Simpsons are comedy perfection.
	From season like four to probably 10.
	Oh my God, just absolute, absolute genius.
	And then on the movie side, I mean, Naked Gun is by far my favorite comedy movie of all time.
	I told you guys this story many times.
	I saw it in the movie theater and it was jam-packed and everyone's cracking up.
	And there was this huge obese man sitting in front of me, aisle seat, and he fell out of his seat and he literally like started rolling down the aisle laughing.
	Like I've never seen anything like that before.
	Leslie Nielsen, just absolutely, absolutely brilliant.
	A couple other great comedy movies, I would say, Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman, if you don't know that whole crew that did Schitt's Creek, although I didn't really love that show, and I will offer you guys, give me a great comedy movie.
	Airplane.
	Airplane, all right, that goes with Naked Gun, fully accept that.
	I think Naked Gun perfected the airline sort of lunacy.
	Anchorman.
	Anchorman from Phoenix.
	Joey, name a funny movie.
	Cars 1.
unidentified		That's how we're ending the show?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Cars 1, was there a Cars 2?
		Wait, Cars is like a Disney movie or something?
		Not even a comedy.
		It's an awkward ending, but it's America.
		That's what America's all about.
		Some people have no taste in comedy, but they're equal Americans just like you and me.
		Guys, have a great weekend, and as I said, I'm traveling most of next week with a bunch of stuff, but we're gonna post some stuff on the road, and we have some special things coming out, so stay tuned for all that.
		Thanks!
		Happy birthday, America!
		Ciao!

		She puts my face in her hand.
		She looks at me and she says, oh, look at you!
		You're prettier than you are on television!
		Mike, look at her!
		No.
		I'm sweating!
