All right, people, it is Friday, July 19th, 2020.
dave rubin
I'm Dave Rubin.
This is The Rubin Report, and it's Donald Trump's world, and we just live in it.
Joining me to recap this crazy RNC and the potential dropping out of an elderly man known as Joe Biden is commentator known as nonlibtake on Instagram, and now I think I can officially say Rubin Report regular, Aaron Wexler.
Aaron, good morning to you.
How are you?
arynne wexler
Hi, Dave.
Good morning.
dave rubin
You know, there's not enough news this week, so I'm worried for your audience that we're going to run out of things to talk about, but we will do our best to... If only we could find clips of an orange man with a lot of LED lights behind him, perhaps the most legendary wrestler of all time, some clips of people on The View having meltdowns.
You think we can get any of that today, guys?
Any of that?
We do have some of those types of things.
That's very exciting.
Aaron, before we dive in, what's your bumper Sticker take of this week, because this really has been one of the wackiest weeks ever, because we are, I mean, today's Friday.
Trump was shot on Saturday.
It's less than a week ago, and yet now it feels like everything has flipped and we've completely moved on from that.
arynne wexler
I mean, my bumper sticker take, this might be kind of shocking to people, or maybe I'm sure
there are better takes out there, but mine is conservatives are back and conservatives are cool.
And that might not be the catchiest bumper sticker, but I don't remember a time since I was a little
tiny conservative growing up in New York, very lonely, that we were never this cool.
We were never this badass.
And so, I mean, Dana White introducing Trump like we're at a UFC fight.
It doesn't really get much better than that.
So I'd say we're back.
We're cool.
The left is full of losers.
dave rubin
Honestly, conservatives are cool on a t-shirt like with like the 80s vibe that they seem to be bringing back now and we're getting like this like Gen X push on things with the little Hulk Hogan.
I kind of dig it.
So yes, of course we're going to talk about Trump's speech at the RNC and a couple of the other events that took place in Milwaukee.
And then really what now feels like just sort of the obvious We're getting some more info on that.
And then we'll finish up with JD Vance's speech because that kind of got lost in all of the craziness this week.
But he gave a really, really beautiful speech at the RNC that I think encapsulates sort of the conservatives are cool and that maybe we can actually get America back.
So we will do all of that.
Let me talk to you guys about spike detox trio first.
Guys, AstraZeneca recently admitted in court that its COVID-19 vaccine could result in life-threatening blood clots.
The admission by AstraZeneca is the first of its kind and won't be the last after the damage we've seen these vaccines cause.
The question now is, if you've got the vaccine, what can you do about it?
Fortunately, Dr. Peter McCullough and his team at The Wellness Company have been leading experts in treating vaccine injury and long COVID since early on, and their research has shown that natokinase, alongside bromelain and curcumin derived from turmeric, has great potential in detoxing side effects.
To date, tens of thousands of people have followed Dr. McCullough's protocol and taken base spike Protein Trio from The Wellness Company, and the results have been nothing short of miraculous.
Purchasing each ingredient and spike support formula is pricey, but with The Wellness Company's unique formulation, you save 35%.
Base Spike Detox Trio is the gold standard for combating spike protein, a daily regimen to help get you back to feeling your best.
Reclaim your health by going to twc.health slash Reuben, and use code Reuben to save 15% and get free shipping.
Okay, so let's dive in.
So last night, obviously, was the big finale of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Nobody burned the thing down, which is going to be in stark contrast to what is going to happen to the Democrats in, I believe it's the last week of August.
I will be off the grid, so what can you do?
And for me, the highlight was this, because I am a child of the 80s.
Hulk Hogan giving the speech, one of the speeches, before Donald Trump got up there.
Here's just a moment of that.
unidentified
But what happened last week when they took a shot at my hero?
And they tried to kill the next president of the United States.
Enough was enough!
And I said, let Trumpamania run wild, brother!
Let Trumpamania rule again!
Let Trumpamania rule again.
Let Trumpamania make America great again.
[APPLAUSE]
USA! USA! USA!
dave rubin
Aaron, I know it's all kind of insane and it feels like we're going into
idiocracy like that literally feels like it would right be out of idiocracy too.
I love Hulk Hogan, all of the nostalgia there, even his theme song, like everything about it.
The way he sort of went in and out of character during that too, saying, you know, I'm Terry, but here I've been playing this character, and then he bursts out with that.
And just the joy around it.
To me, that's the thing.
It's the joy around it.
That is what we kind of need to restore here.
arynne wexler
Yeah, no, I saw a tweet that was very funny that said the European mind simply cannot comprehend this, right?
So it's true, but you know, yeah, I just thought everything about the RNC this week was, it was joyous and triumphant and, and different.
I just, I don't remember a time, not only as conservatives being cool, being tough, like we're the jocks now, we're the normies, we're the, I don't know how normal that was.
Right, right.
So maybe I'll walk that one back, but in general, like, you know, and we could talk about leftists versus conservatives and how we're normal, but when it comes to the actual convention and what we were seeing this week, it was just, it's so happy.
And I was, I couldn't help thinking this entire week, well, what's the DNC going to look like, right?
It's going to look like people who are just fear mongering the entire time and telling everyone their entire platform, no matter who the nominee is, is going to be, well, if you, if you vote for the other guy, then you're giving up your freedom.
You have to be afraid.
That was never mentioned, very rarely mentioned with the RNC.
There was talk about the board or talk about inflation, which is true.
These are real points that you can actually say, this is what's happening in our country right now.
But yeah, people like Hulk Hogan, Dana, people throughout the week, it's just like, you know, we're just proud.
We're proud of our nominee and we're just happy to be here.
And it's just, we're just a happy people now.
I loved it.
I'm so in.
Kid Rock, I was like, you know, It might get hate for saying this.
I'll say it anyways.
But, you know, I think it'd be cool if we had, like, a newer artist performing, maybe.
And, like, we're not there yet.
We're not there yet as a movement.
Small steps.
Yeah, but we'll get there at some point.
We had Amber Rose, which is its own, you know, I guess little controversy on Twitter.
But in general, yeah, it's awesome that Hulk Hogan did that.
And I'd love to see the left even try.
dave rubin
Right, and even for whatever controversy around Amber Rose, because I guess she had an OnlyFans at one point and, you know, maybe her position on abortion doesn't fall in line with all conservatives, it was like you had Rick Grinnell up there, openly gay Rick Grinnell, talking about how Donald Trump doesn't care about gay people.
You had Christian conservatives giving prayers.
You had Harmeet Dhillon giving a Sikh prayer.
You had all sorts of people.
You had Orthodox Jews.
You had secular people.
And everybody was kind of coming together under what Hulk Hogan represents, which is America.
Did you ever see, did you see, I posted it on Twitter, maybe we can put it up, the picture of me meeting Hulk Hogan about seven or eight years ago, right after the Gawker lawsuit.
I met Hulk Hogan.
His eyeballs are the size of, like they are giant glow.
Everything about the man was absolutely huge.
Like he's larger than life.
And I think that's a good parable for what Trump has kind of become at this point.
arynne wexler
Yeah, I think that's right.
Actually, I don't know if anyone watching would know about Jelly Roll and the Morgan
Wallen concert last week, but Morgan Wallen canceled a concert very last minute and Jelly
Roll, who is a big supporter of Trump also, a big patriot and a real up and coming artist,
in stark contrast to Eminem, who's come out very strongly against all Republican candidates
and Jelly Roll is kind of the new Eminem, I would say.
And he's coming up and he decided to put on a very last minute concert in the area to
make it up to the fans, a lot of whom flew in for this concert.
And Hulk Hogan showed up to this bar called Dallas Bull in Tampa and he showed up to make
a show for the people who came in for what had been a canceled show.
And so I felt that energy last night as well.
These are people who show up for the average person who's just living their day, working
hard, showing up when asked, and they went out of their way to do that for people.
They easily could have said, "Oh, the show is canceled.
We're done for the night."
And that's not what Jelly Roll did.
And Hulk Hogan also made it an even more special night by showing up.
So you just have to love that and the gratitude that they still have.
Decades, you know into his career. He doesn't have to do that and he still does it
So, you know, that's what we saw at the RNC this whole week And to pivot a little bit into just something that I don't
think we're talking about enough I just don't remember the last time the RNC was as you
mentioned this diverse but but also just this strategic and this forward looking,
unidentified
right?
arynne wexler
You know, I watched RNC and I saw them really introduce a unified party.
We had DeSantis, we had Nikki Haley, and as much as people might disagree with,
you know, a lot of the people that have spoken, that is a good thing for our party
that when the left has never been more divided, more confused, more panicked.
We've never been more united.
And also to see people like Congresswoman Ana Paulina Luna up there where they're showing us this is our next generation of conservative leadership.
And that's really promising because what's the left doing?
They have 84-year-olds telling 82-year-olds that they don't want them to run anymore.
So I'd say it was just a really good week to be a conservative in America.
dave rubin
Yeah, I agree.
And we'll get to a portion of Trump's speech in just a second.
But that was what I was trying to push for all week, is if guys, if we can just set aside some of the differences, we don't all have to agree, even on abortion, we don't have to agree on absolutely everything.
But if we can agree that America is good, the founding is good, the documents are good, we're a wide, To the hill, to Tennessee.
all sorts of people and not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
It's like, man, it's basically everybody versus the woke.
And I think that that finally kind of coalesced last night.
But to your point about forward thinking, let's show you Trump walking out last night
because they pulled out all the whistles, I would say.
unidentified
(laughing)
(upbeat music)

Thank you very much.
donald j trump
Thank you very, very much.
unidentified
Wow.
donald j trump
And thank you, Dana.
Thank you, Kid Rock, sometimes referred to as Bob.
And thank you, Lee, right from the beginning.
Thank you very much.
What a talent.
What a beautiful, beautiful song.
unidentified
Thank you.
dave rubin
Thanks, Bob, really appreciate that song there.
Just everything about it, like he still is himself, he looks good, the stage looks good, it was all pro-America, like the song worked, it just kinda worked here.
So let's just dive right into some of the highlights from the speech because this is where it showed off just sort of innovation, some creativity, it felt a little futuristic, you got Trump on point and kinda extemporaneous, the whole thing go.
donald j trump
It was done by the Border Patrol.
One of the greatest charts I've ever seen.
It showed everything just like that.
You know the chart.
Oh, there it is.
That's pretty good.
unidentified
Wow.
donald j trump
Last time I put up that chart, I never really got to look at it.
But without that chart, I would not be here today.
unidentified
[cheers]
donald j trump
Never got to...
If I had not moved my head at that very last instant, the assassin's bullet would have perfectly hit its mark.
And I would not be here tonight.
We would not be together.
They're warriors.
So now I ask that we observe a moment of silence in honor of our friend, Cory.
America, this is my vow.
I will not let these killers and criminals into our country.
I will keep our sons and daughters safe.
unidentified
[APPLAUSE]
donald j trump
As we bring security to our streets, we will help bring stability to the world.
I was the first president in modern times to start no new wars.
You know, we were the toughest, we were the most respected.
I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America.
Because there is no victory in winning for half of America.
So tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for President of the United States.
unidentified
Thank you.
dave rubin
So Aaron, there was obviously a ton more with the speech.
I think it was the longest speech he's ever given, or certainly the longest one ever at the RNC, and he had the record for the two longest ones before that.
But the line that I really thought was great there, that I wanna be president for all of America, not half of America.
And I think, honestly, that 80% of America really wants the same thing if we can just get past the woke lunatics and the damage that they've done.
So I just thought it was pretty pitch perfect.
arynne wexler
It was.
Trump's message even before last weekend has been about unity.
It's the same Trump, but it's also a different Trump.
We can all feel everything about this election with him has been different.
He's more He's more in control, but he's still Trump.
And I think that's what we saw in the speech last night.
And you know, the fact that after he was shot, his messages, Melania's messages, it was all about unity and coming together in the starkest contrast to what the left is doing.
It took them maybe a day of the news cycle before they started calling him, you know, dictator names again.
and fear mongering.
And we know about the trucks outside of the RNC saying, this is what you're gonna be electing.
And they waited all of a day.
I think they realized it'd be in totally bad taste if the day after he was shot
that they just started attacking him, but they realized he was so popular.
dave rubin
Well, it was also a Sunday.
They don't like working on the weekend.
So they waited till Monday.
arynne wexler
You're definitely right.
But I think they realized he became too popular from his true character showing, right?
Because you don't get to act when you're shot at in the head.
It also means that when you're shot in the head, you get to talk for as long as you want.
I don't make the rules.
So the man, you know, he could do whatever he wants.
And he gave us Trump.
I mean, throughout the speech, I even loved, you know, he's speaking so beautifully.
You could see how emotional he is walking out just for the first time at the RNC.
You could see the emotion.
In a way that I've never seen Donald Trump.
I grew up in New York.
I've grown up watching Donald Trump in the news and I've never seen him like this.
And you could see and just watching his grandchildren and children speak and just how moving it was for him.
And then talking about the shooting last night, you could see how difficult it was for him.
But then he still does the Trump.
I was speaking powerfully.
I was speaking well.
It was one of the greatest, you know, like it's still Trump.
Even in the moment where he's going over to Corey Comptor's may he rest in peace over to his uniform.
It was so moving.
And then he does the Trump duck lips kiss with the with the helmet and you just you just have to I don't know how you don't love the man when he does stuff like that.
dave rubin
It's so incredible because during even during the primaries the first time around with him or even last time with when the Democrats were having their primary I kept saying it's how insane that the fake tan orange man with the craziest hair ever is more authentic than everyone else he goes against and that is just the truth that's what people are responding to and I just want to show you one clip of This was CNN's Van Jones reacting to the speech and just everything else that we've discussed here at the RNC, and Van, who is, let's say, Van, Van, Van Jones, I would say, Vance Jones, Van Jones, he is sort of acknowledging that they probably can't stop this thing at this point.
unidentified
So that's why people are so mad about it.
We are like minutes away, minutes away from Hulk Hogan, Dana White, and Donald J Trump.
Alright, so who do they want to run against? Let's talk about that.
I want to say something.
So we can have an academic discussion.
You see something? I want to say something.
This spirit that this guy has, you guys think this guy's drunk?
He's not.
This whole thing is like this.
The last time I was in a commission that felt like this was Obama 2008.
I don't think a commission that felt like this was Obama 2008.
There's something happening.
What's that?
You just wrote a headline with that comment.
Just like Obama, Trump is showing in this convention he has the capacity to alter the composition of the electorate.
The difference between 2008 and now is that Obama was actually popular outside of his own party.
mark halperin
And that's not the case with Donald Trump.
dave rubin
I don't think you should overstate it.
All right, so I think what David Axelrod said there is complete nonsense at the end.
Of course, he did work for Obama.
I would also say the difference between Trump and Obama is that Trump loves America and is not trying to destroy it, as Obama now in his third term with Biden.
I think it's become pretty damn clear.
But that's quite an admission.
It's like, they can't hide this.
You know, they can lie to us about everything, but sometimes it starts becoming so damn obvious that they just can't hide it, even on CNN.
arynne wexler
Yeah, I agree. The one thing I would say, though, is I, you know, I've had my heart
broken way too many times as a conservative. November, November is a long ways away. So
I'm I'm very nervous about what the next few months are. If this were September, October.
Yeah, sure. I would be on this. You know, we're on a good path.
I'd be there with you.
But this commentary, it's hard not to be nervous.
You know, I think, and this gets streamed on YouTube, so I don't know how careful I have to be about what I say.
dave rubin
Say whatever you want.
I'm willing to risk it.
We're on Rumble.
unidentified
Don't worry.
arynne wexler
I'll speak and I'll allude to things.
And everyone watching this is smart enough to understand what I'm saying.
But, you know, I just think that we're playing with people who don't play by the rules.
And I think that we're about to witness them taking a democratic process away from their own party.
I don't know what else they're willing to do when it comes to taking democracy away from people.
And I think they've done it once, and I think they could do it again.
And I personally don't think it's a coincidence that Trump was almost assassinated when he was already the nominee, hadn't chosen a VP, when he's never been more popular.
I just think we live in a very precarious time.
And so I'm with this momentum.
I've never felt more excited, more enthralled Being a conservative in America this feels like this feels like a true inflection point for our country where we're teetering on a cliff's edge And we're about to fall off and this man is basically Elon Musk and Donald Trump stitching the world together right now and I don't know if people saw but there was a huge outage this morning because of Microsoft and Flights were grounded in Europe new stations were pulled off ATMs aren't working.
I think that was true in the US too.
It's just very early for us And Twitter was online, right and and if it weren't for Twitter, we wouldn't know what happened on Saturday We would think that Trump fell on stage and the Secret Service interrupted him.
So I just think we're dealing with a really dishonest counterparty.
November's a long way away.
I'll just leave it there.
dave rubin
Aaron, I was trying to go all white pill today, but yes, you are right.
You cannot put anything past these people.
They will gladly burn down their whole party, all of their rules.
They'll burn down the country.
They'll start World War III.
All of that, I acknowledge all of that.
But yes, this thing has been pretty good.

And now back to me.
All right, so the big story outside of Trump world, and perhaps we're getting to the other side of this evil abyss we have been wallowing in, Is that apparently Joe Biden is going to drop out perhaps as early as this weekend.
This is from a guy named Mark Halpern who broke it on Newsmax yesterday afternoon.
mark halperin
Carl, according to multiple Democratic sources, this is happening all of a sudden.
Everyone said it would happen gradually and then all at once.
And that's what's happening.
According to my sources, President Biden has agreed to step down as a Democratic nominee.
It will happen as early as this weekend.
A speech has been drafted for him.
He will continue on as president, is his intention.
He also will not, I'm told, endorse Vice President Harris as his successor.
They're hoping that he will endorse an open process in which the convention will be open to Vice President Harris and a few other candidates in Chicago to pick the Democratic nominee for president.
The belief is that Vice President Harris is already looking at potential running mates to go to Chicago with a full ticket.
Including one possibility, Andy Beshear, the governor of Kentucky, and perhaps the governor of Pennsylvania, Governor Shapiro.
Other possible candidates who are being talked about include Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, perhaps Gretchen Whitmer, and again the vice president running.
On the first ballot, the regular delegates would be allowed to vote under this agreement that's being talked about amongst the president and high-level Democrat officials.
The regular delegates would vote on the first ballot.
If there is no winner in the first ballot, the so-called superdelegates would be allowed to vote on the subsequent ballot.
This decision was reached, I'm told, all of a sudden because of the high-level pressure from Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and others, as well as the decision of many of Biden's top aides, that there was no path forward for him, that he would not be able to win this election, win the general election.
And therefore, he's stepping aside again as early as this weekend.
dave rubin
Aaron, I just want to be clear on something real quick.
I mean, look, I'm not a Biden supporter.
Obviously, I want Trump to be president.
The Democrat Party needs to be destroyed, all of that stuff.
But this is basically a coup within their own party.
And what Halperin is describing there about how the regular delegates and then super delegates will work, They're even admitting, boy, not only do we not let you have a primary and we ran this man with dementia and all that, but we will do whatever we have to do to steal it at the end, even from the regular delegates at the convention itself.
Man, I don't know how to describe them as anything other than evil.
I really don't.
I'm sorry, I don't.
arynne wexler
And the problem is that I'm not going to sugarcoat it and pretend that we're dealing with an equivalent counterparty here.
I think the left is filled with sheep.
And I think these are the people that wanted all of us to show Vax cards in order to go to McDonald's.
And so these are the same people who are just going to sit there like lemmings and say, OK, OK, we're sheep.
You know, it's fine.
You want to you want to take away.
They're not going to.
Can you imagine if on our side, if the Republican Party said,
actually all those primaries that you had didn't matter and we're just choosing someone,
the party would fall apart.
There would be mutiny within our own party and that will not happen on the left.
I don't believe that will happen because they just don't think like us.
And so it might not be a polite thing to say and I would love to have people on the left,
come to our side, but for the most part, I don't see how anyone's really going to fight against this.
And what's crazy about this whole thing really is when you think about it, it's not that they're worried that Joe Biden cannot be president.
They knew that before.
None of this is surprising.
All that's happened is their plan has fallen apart and you know, for, for some reason, and we could speculate on all the different reasons why they allowed him on that debate stage.
Some might say it was people in the party intentionally trying to sabotage him.
It has felt that way for a few months.
If you've been watching, I think over the really last six to nine months, it has felt like there is a force on the Democratic side that they've wanted to slowly unravel Biden as president and as the nominee.
And then finally they managed to do it.
But it's just that all that happened is they realized they were caught and they couldn't cover it up anymore.
And so now, too bad, it's going to be a hand-selected candidate.
The only thing that's good for us is the chaos, right?
The actual internal strife that's happening because they're less focused on us and more focused on each other.
And so I'm really hoping that regardless of the outcome, regardless of who's the nominee, obviously that Trump is just maintains his popularity and is able to win in November.
dave rubin
And speaking of chaos, just think about the literal chaos that is going to be at the convention.
So now you have Kamala, and she picks somebody, and then okay, Gavin wants in, and Gretchen, and it's such a thin bench of awful people.
You have that, but then couple that with the fact that it's in Chicago.
How many people got killed in Chicago last weekend?
Let's get the numbers on that.
It's in Chicago, which is basically the number one gun violence place in the entire country.
And you have this coalition of Hamas supporters and BLM people and the genderqueer furries and all of these people who are all ready to burn it down.
So it's like you guys are all getting exactly what you deserve.
unidentified
Yeah, no, I think that maybe for the first time, we're actually saying that the Democrats- Oh, 36 people were shot in Chicago this weekend.
dave rubin
So that's, oh, six killed.
arynne wexler
So that's fairly- More than it would be, in one weekend, it's generally more than it would be from cops in the entire country in a year.
Exactly, exactly.
But no, this might be the first time that we're actually saying that Democrats have made their bed and they have to sleep in it, which would be a first, which is again, why I am super cautious.
It's a long way till November.
I think they're so good at manipulating the law, at just not following the law, and that generally
we've taken it as conservatives.
But I also think that we've gotten smarter over the last four years.
You mentioned Harmeet Dhillon, who gave a really nice prayer at the RNC.
She's doing a phenomenal job really fighting, making sure state by state that we are not
going to allow what happened in 2020 to happen again.
So I am more hopeful.
I think we've learned.
I think we've gotten tougher.
I think the party is still a little split on certain things, especially when it comes
to what it means to fight.
I think as conservatives, it's generally our nature to just fight.
Just let the other side do their thing.
And we say, as long as it doesn't impose on me, then you do you.
And I think we're realizing what the left is doing is fully imposing on us.
And they're very effective at that.
So yeah, the funniest thing about this, though, is two things.
First, it's basically they're going to have primary debates at the DNC, which is crazy
when you think about it.
That's a crazy state.
And the second thing is that there is a small part of me, I will admit, that somehow hopes
that Kamala Harris, for a brief moment in time, is president only so we can watch the
Hillary Clinton meltdown from that.
Because it's just that's like imagine the first female president and it's not Hillary
and Hillary is alive and it's Kamala Harris who, bless her, is just on so much Klonopin.
The woman is just, she doesn't even, like Biden doesn't know where he is because of
age.
I don't think Kamala Harris knows any better, but for totally different reasons.
So, you know.
dave rubin
Do you have any inside information that it's Klonopin?
I mean, everyone's wondering what's causing the cackle.
arynne wexler
I'll have what she's having.
I don't know what it is, but she seems like a happy woman.
dave rubin
I'm being told, although it was only 30 some odd people that were shot this weekend in Chicago on July 4th weekend, it was 107, no, 109 people on July 4th weekend.
So you can see they're really building to something wonderful here.
Let's also talk a little bit about Barack Obama for a second.
I'm gonna throw it to Fox News because it seems to me what really is happening here Is that Barack Obama, who has run this administration, you know, this is basically been his third term, which is exactly what he said he would want.
Everyone has seen that video.
He's the one that's driving this to get rid of Biden because he wants a fourth term.
unidentified
A serious reporter.
He has good sourcing.
I want to read from him directly.
Former President Barack Obama has told allies in recent days that President Biden's path to victory has greatly diminished, and he thinks the president needs to seriously consider the viability of his candidacy.
And here's the sourcing.
Multiple people briefed on his thinking.
This does not show up by accident, Emily.
He has green-lighted, in my opinion, as someone who's worked in press, his aides to share this with the Washington Post.
Which is a crucial sea change, Kayleigh.
And actually, before, Marie, when you were talking about it, in my head I was like, no, he doesn't need to come out and say it, because he did it non-verbally.
When he guided the president off the stage, he showed the world the president's frailty.
He showed the world that Barack Obama was still the elder of the party.
Although, Marie, that made me feel like I'm an ancient.
But at the end of the day, we are now seeing the materialization of the apparitions, right?
Because prior to this, for example, as former speaker Kevin McCarthy said, well, Pelosi
controls everyone, right?
So Schiff coming out and saying that that meant Pelosi told him to do so.
Well, then we have reporting that Pelosi herself is speaking face to face with Biden and saying
it's time to give this arrest.
So what we are seeing is those unseen hands that we knew guiding those forces, writing the letter for George Clooney, telling him to come out.
All of those forces are all of a sudden now saying, I'm putting my name directly out there.
That represents a fundamental current change.
And I think at the end of the day, we are now seeing Biden against the world.
dave rubin
I think Emily Campanaro, that's the girl who was speaking there in the green dress, she's making a great point.
It's like we all kind of knew this, and the fact that they're being so forward with it really just shows you that Biden just has never been in charge of this thing, even from the beginning.
arynne wexler
Yeah, now they're not even trying to hide it.
I mean, Barack Obama is the only president to not leave D.C.
when his term was over.
So that already told us almost everything we needed to know, but you had to guess.
You had to know people who were in D.C.
who would give you the whispers that it is Obama and no one could ever really be sure.
And now we're short.
Now we know.
And I think they make a great point also, which is nothing is by accident.
So anytime you see something like a close source that gets mentioned in this, you know, we're, we're seeing the, the battle of the close sources whispering to all the, like, it's like, it's all conflicting.
And if you were on Twitter last night, uh, I don't presume that everyone lives on Twitter the way I do.
And I definitely need probably help for this and support groups for people addicted to Twitter.
But, um, Yeah.
you looked at it, it was also conflicting that people started to write a fake, totally fake
headlines because it all just made sense. It's like, yeah, he is dropping out. He's not dropping
out. It's from Obama. It's just so crazy at this point. But yeah, it's very clear that we know
that the left takes marching orders. They have always been up until this moment, completely in
locks up with each other.
And we've all seen those great compilations that show you every news station saying the exact same sentence, like down to every word being the same.
So we know that they get their martial orders from somewhere.
Somehow we have yet to crack it.
It's like we need the Enigma machine from World War II to figure out, like, where is it coming from?
And what was the order?
And I don't know how we haven't figured that out yet.
Apparently we're really bad at infiltrating leftist media, 'cause I would love to know
where that is actually coming from.
But now the messages are getting totally mixed.
So, and part of this, it feels a lot like it's House of Cards and it's Obama really trying
to pull the puppet strings and he's losing control, but he's also, he's actually, as much as I don't like
the man, he's very sharp and he's very strategic and Biden is not, so he's kind of winning this.
dave rubin
And the thing is, if you're a Democrat and you're watching this show,
I don't know how many Democrats watch my show anymore, but if you are a Democrat or a moderate
or you've been a Democrat and now you're waking up, you should be pissed at your party.
They are insulting you.
They just stole the primary and now they're about to steal the presidency.
Like that's what they did.
It's obvious.
And to your point about like, we don't know where it's coming from.
It's like, that's why I'm always trying to show people Just note what the signals are in the system.
So when they tell you an unnamed source told me or this leaked or that Schumer met with Biden and it leaked, it only leaked because they want it to leak.
It is quite possible that everything that Mark Halperin just told us there isn't true.
That is possible.
But someone told him that so that he'd say it.
So we'd all talk about it.
So that would build the pressure on Biden.
Like you just have to know what the signals are.
We never know what, what the source is, it's like asking for the meaning of
life, but like you can understand at least what the signals are. Anyway, speaking of signals,
it is not going well over at The View because they are realizing that the signals are out there
and Biden's days are numbered.
unidentified
Here's a very depressed Joy Behar. - So depressing, the whole thing.
joy behar
You know, I think that he's going to drop out now.
That's my feeling.
I mean, I don't have any information.
But when Pelosi gets into this and Schumer and Schiff and Jeffries, and they all say it's time to go, you know, he just the COVID in a way is like a good way for him to get out because he needs this time to show how strong he is.
And he's sick.
And the time is very, very short now.
So I don't know what's going to happen, but I wouldn't put it past them to just say, look, Joe, we can't.
You know, Nancy Pelosi, she would not bring a vote to the floor unless she knew it was going to get passed.
This is not a woman who plays games.
And she doesn't feel that he can win, I don't think.
So, you know, when I saw her at the Republican, the Democratic convention right before Trump beat Hillary.
I said to her, what if he wins?
And she said, he's not going to win.
I think she's learned her lesson that she said he wasn't going to win and then he did.
So, you know, she's very cautious now and we have to save the country.
dave rubin
I think Joy is going to need a little Klonopin.
Does that help with depression?
I'm not exactly sure what it does, but, but good.
I'm just like, you know what?
I don't take great joy in other people's depression or whatever, but again, you guys all deserve this.
arynne wexler
I have a few comments.
The first is you guys really need to start a timer on the show for when you talk about The View because I think this might be a record length of only being like 40-ish minutes into the episode where you mentioned Joy Behar.
So kudos to you for lasting this long, Dave.
dave rubin
This was my way of auditioning you for The View.
You see what I'm doing here?
I'm giving you a lot of talk time.
arynne wexler
I never want that like one fake diversity seat where they take a sad little conservative and just pitchfork them for a few weeks until they leave.
dave rubin
You get that on the head every now and again.
Yeah.
unidentified
Here's your cookie.
dave rubin
Here's your cookie.
arynne wexler
I can't do that.
unidentified
And I actually, I shot in Freud.
arynne wexler
is a great word, right?
Which is taking pleasure in someone else's displeasure and their pain.
And I do have that.
And I was gonna, you know, I think my happiness level is inversely correlated to the happiness levels of the view.
So this is a great time.
But yeah, the absolute, the sheer panic of these women that,
I don't know who decided to give them that table and this airtime and why they are so powerful over our
media.
unidentified
Barbara Walters is spinning over in her grave, literally.
dave rubin
Do you remember what the original intro of The View was?
I watched it way back when, when it first came out.
I don't know, what was that, 94, something like that?
And the original intro, she would talk through the theme song and basically say, I took all these women from different walks of life, and we have differences, but we come together to work things out respectfully.
Like, it basically was that, and that this is what it has turned into is just incredible.
arynne wexler
Yeah, I know.
It's like being in the cafeteria in middle school is what it feels like to me.
So I will not sit down at that table ever.
It would just not be fun.
But I mean, the mental gymnastics of what they're all going through right now, they've all been part of this cover up.
Every woman on The View, George Stephanopoulos, which is with his fake, you know, exposing interview of Biden.
It's like, OK, you've been Covering his butt for the last few years and now you're finally getting caught.
So you're all pretending that you care about democracy and care about how feeble Biden is when in fact you've actually known.
So every last one of them has lost journalistic integrity.
They didn't really have it before.
There's no equivalent for media as there is, you know, like a bar qualification with lawyers.
But if we had an equivalent, I'd say they should all be stripped of it.
Because at this point, I don't know how they look at their audiences in the eye and say, we did not know this.
We haven't been lying to you for this entire time.
dave rubin
And what's beautiful is when they get to this, what will likely be this contested Democrat convention, it's like Sonny has to back Kamala because she's black.
Maybe Joy's gonna go in a different direction.
And then they are going to have to eat each other's faces off.
And what a horrible visual that will be.
All right, I wanna do one more thing here real quick because JD Bantz obviously was selected as VP.
My audience knows, I really thought Tulsi was probably the best choice in terms of widening the party, but I think JD, And the reaction to JD has been spectacular.
And I think what, I just wanna play about a minute portion of his speech because I think he really captured what can happen to America right now if we grab this opportunity.
jd vance
But my friends, things did not work out well for a lot of kids I grew up with.
Every now and then, I will get a call from a relative back home who asks, did you know so-and-so?
And I'll remember a face from years ago and then I'll hear, they died of an overdose.
As always, America's ruling class wrote the checks.
Communities like mine paid the price.
For decades, that divide between the few with their power and comfort in Washington and the rest of us only widened.
From Iraq to Afghanistan, from the financial crisis to the Great Recession,
from open borders to stagnating wages, the people who govern this country have failed and failed again.
That is, of course, until a guy named Donald J. Trump came along.
President Trump represents America's last best hope to restore what, if lost, may never be found again.
A country where a working class boy born far from the halls of power can stand on this stage as the next Vice President of the United States of America.
dave rubin
The line there, Donald J. Trump may represent the last, best hope to restore what, if lost, may never be found again.
And I think that thing is the thing that we spent the first half of the show talking about, this restoration of wide-tent America, coming together under freedom, understanding that we're different, and we're all not gonna get exactly what we want, but that this thing is precious and good and rare and all of that stuff, and I think that's what we gotta fight for.
Am I crazy, Aaron?
arynne wexler
You're crazy, but not for that. So, but, you know, JD Vance, to me, he's just, he's really
the American dream. This is a guy who grew up in opioid crisis, Appalachia, moved to Ohio was,
you know, and now is the vice president nominee.
It's it's a crazy thing.
It's beautiful.
There are a few things about him.
I love that he was a never Trumper in 2016 because I think that is so,
you know, we talked about, we didn't really talk actually on the show
about Amber Rose, but people know about the sort of ish controversy
that was actually pretty heavily and swiftly squashed by the conservative movement,
which is, hey, when people are willing to change their minds,
even if they don't fully agree with us, it is time for us to come together.
Now, JD Vance is actually, his ideology is actually very aligned
with most of the movement, but that is relatable to people.
I, you know, you didn't believe Donald Trump the first time you saw how he was as president
and you see what's happening in the country.
And now you're standing, you know, there's no sunlight between you and Trump now.
Vance, and that's a lot of people in this country.
dave rubin
It's Elon Musk, by the way.
It's Elon Musk, too, right?
He and Trump were fighting a couple of years ago.
Trump has that famous truth social post that we showed yesterday, and it's like, boy, you guys think you're owning Elon or you think you're owning J.D.
by showing that they weren't for Trump?
You're owning yourselves because you idiots are the ones that drove all these people together.
arynne wexler
Exactly.
Yeah.
And I love it just for a moment of levity.
I saw a very good, good tweet saying that, you know, Trump chose a man who's been bickering with Indian women for decades.
So 4D chess, 4D chess.
I can't wait for that debate.
Well, hopefully it's against Kamala because he would just smoke her.
We've seen he's a very eloquent speaker.
He's a very thoughtful guy.
And he's also the exact opposite of the Biden family's interaction with opioids in America, right? This is a man who came from a
house of addiction and turned himself into a lawyer at one of the top law school in the country and
found himself an amazing wife and had kids and just pulled himself up from his bootstraps
instead of riding on daddy's coattails and getting money for paintings that a child could do and
then just continuing to abuse drugs.
So I think he's just, you have two choices, right?
These are your two choices between the right and the left right now.
One is a message, which is J.D.
Vance, which is you could change your mind.
You can work hard.
You could be proud of America.
You could unify people.
And the other is we're going to go through and we're going to take away your democratic process.
We're going to excuse adults with bad behavior.
And if you don't like it, then that's too bad for you.
dave rubin
Well, Erin, your warning about what they could do over the course of the next three months notwithstanding, I am feeling quite white-pilled on this Friday and ready for the weekend, so I thank you for joining us.
What does Erin Wexler do on the weekend?
I think I've asked you this once or twice before.
What do you got?
Yeah, I'm actually going to a rodeo.
unidentified
You with your alligator wallpaper over there, Florida lady.
arynne wexler
With the alligator wallpaper, I will be going to a rodeo, and it's actually my second rodeo, so you just know I will be abusing that joke The entire night.
dave rubin
This ain't your first rodeo, no?
arynne wexler
Yes, sir.
Yeah, this is the first of a thousand times.
I'm going to keep a tally of how many times I make the joke and I'll let you know after the weekend.
dave rubin
True Florida lady.
All right, guys, well, it's Friday, so no postgame show today.
We will see you on Monday.
Will Joe Biden still be president?
Who knows?
But take the white pill for the weekend.
I think everything's going to be OK.
unidentified
All right.
