Do you support reparations for black people because they went through slavery? | |
| Bye. | ||
| Um, yes I do actually. | ||
| Perfect! | ||
| So we have Joel here and you can pay your reparations right now. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| How much do you want? | ||
| What is the suffering of my ancestors worth? | ||
| Um, more than I can pay right now. | ||
| So do you want to set up like a payment plan? | ||
| Um, no but I do believe it's the responsibility of our government to take more action. | ||
| Alright, pay up. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| Thank you for paying for the crimes of your ancestors. | ||
| you have been forgiven. | ||
| All right. | ||
| People, here we go. | ||
| Season 12 of the Rubin Report officially kicks off right now. | ||
| New logo, new intro, new music, new graphics. | ||
| Fame Dave, a little rested, a little refreshed, a little rejuvenated, I say a little. | ||
| because Sage Steel, of course, did bring me back yesterday after 31 days off the grid. | ||
| And I have to say, going right back into the machine, back into the matrix, it just kinda clubs you over the head. | ||
| I had probably the best month of my life, sort of at a personal level, in a spiritual level, | ||
| really, really disconnecting, getting away and escaping for a little bit of it, | ||
| and spending some time on the beach and just kinda staring at the ocean, | ||
| but doing a ton of time at home here with the kids and just doing it. | ||
| Really feeling gratitude and appreciation for my life. | ||
| So before we begin the show, and we've got a jam-packed show and we're just diving right back in today, I just wanted one more time, well I guess not one more time, but to kick off the season, I would just like to thank all of you who watch. | ||
| We have crushed every number, basically every month that goes by. | ||
| I mentioned to you on the last show in July before we left, That our 2024 numbers are already the best year we have ever had and we've still got a couple months to go and everything really is just blowing up. | ||
| I think that's partly the, I suppose, some of the political thoughts and some of the philosophical stuff that we do here that I talk about, but it's also because I've assembled a great team and because you guys share our videos and all of that stuff. | ||
| So I'm really, I'm starting this season 12 just kind of humbled And really overflowing. | ||
| My cup overflows. | ||
| Truly. | ||
| And I would say that it's good that my cup overflows because we're going to need an overflowing cup to deal with a lot of the nonsense because so much of what Sage caught me up on was just like more Evil. | ||
| That was the only word. | ||
| I probably said the word evil about 20 times yesterday hearing what was going on. | ||
| That the lies of the Democrats, what they've done with the coup of Joe Biden and the installation of Kamala Harris, the machine, the media, all of that, the attacks on big tech and free speech, like it's all ramping up and we got basically two plus months before this election so strap in guys i am ready as i said i am refreshed i am rejuvenated i promise you uh to do the best i can do over the next couple months uh to make sure that we write the ship because the ship needs to be right for as many of you that saw me out in public uh either at the store or the airport or whatever else everyone was like man | ||
| Man, the country's effed up. | ||
| What are we gonna do, Dave? | ||
| What are we gonna do? | ||
| And it's like, I don't know exactly what we're gonna do, but I'm gonna try to lay it out to you as honestly and decently as possible. | ||
| And that's what a whole bunch of other people are doing right now. | ||
| And that's why the best news that we got yesterday, or at least what I felt was the best news of the month that I missed, was that RFK is joining forces with Donald Trump. | ||
| And Tulsi, of course, is now supporting Trump. | ||
| So we are going to talk about Trump versus Trump. | ||
| That really is where we are at. | ||
| It's not just that they booted Biden and that they installed Kamala. | ||
| The real question is, are they going to import more people to vote? | ||
| Are they going to put Donald Trump in jail? | ||
| And really, what are we gonna do about it? | ||
| Rather than just complain about it and mock. | ||
| That's really the question. | ||
| So I wanna start today's show. | ||
| This is kind of nice, because I get to throw to a video of two former Rubin Report guests. | ||
| My old buddy, Eric Weinstein, I don't know whether Donald Trump will be allowed to become president. | ||
| really just a great, he's an economist, but he's a great thinker. | ||
| Here he is on Chris Williamson's podcast talking about why he believes that the machine will | ||
| never allow Donald Trump to be president. | ||
| I don't know whether, I don't know whether Donald Trump will be allowed to become president. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you mean by that? | |
| I think we don't understand why the censorship is behaving the way it is. | ||
| We don't understand why it's in the shadows. | ||
| We don't understand why our news is acting in a bizarre fashion. | ||
| So let's just set the stage given that that was in February. | ||
| There is something that I think Mike Benz has just referred to as the rules-based international | ||
| It's an interlocking series of agreements, tacit understandings, explicit understandings, clandestine understandings about how the most important structures keep the world free of war and keep markets open. | ||
| And there has been a system in place, whether understood explicitly or behind the scenes or implicitly, that says that the purpose of the two American parties is to prune the field of populist candidates so that whatever two candidates exist in a face-off are both acceptable to that world order. | ||
| They have a series of agreements that are fragile and could be overturned if a president entered the Oval Office who didn't agree with them and the mood of the country was, why do we pay taxes into these structures? | ||
| Why are we hamstrung? | ||
| Why aren't we a free people? | ||
| Okay, so clearly we're long overdue to have Eric back on the show, but in essence what he is saying there, and I don't think it's a conspiracy theory, is that there's a system in place, right? | ||
| I always talk about the machine, like whatever you want to call it, there's a system in place of international agreements, rich people that meet to design how the systems will work, international order, like it does exist, right? | ||
| So let's just put that there. | ||
| And that basically what we have had for probably at least the last half century in America | ||
| is that the two parties pick two candidates who roughly act within that system. | ||
| Now, America has been pretty good for, well, certainly for the last 50 years | ||
| and really for 200 plus years. | ||
| So you might actually say, oh, that system is not so terrible, | ||
| but we know that the system was starting to corrode. | ||
| The system was melting down in a way and it was becoming too obvious that it didn't really work for most of us, which is what led to the rise of Donald Trump really starting in 2015 into his win in 2016, right? | ||
| And then of course what did the system do? | ||
| It hit back COVID and just the way that the media treated him and now trying to throw him in jail and everything else. | ||
| So what Eric is positing there, basically, is okay, Trump got in once. | ||
| It was an aberration, right? | ||
| It was like a little blip that kinda wasn't supposed to happen. | ||
| They were able to get rid of him, and we can question election results. | ||
| Yes, we can. | ||
| We are free people in a free country, at least as I'm speaking right now. | ||
| We can wonder if they brought in COVID to really take him out. | ||
| We can question all of that. | ||
| But basically what he's saying is they let it happen once, They are not going to let it happen again. | ||
| I think there's a lot of reason to think that that's basically right at this point. | ||
| It was one of the reasons that I thought, all right, maybe we have to move past Trump because they will never let it happen again. | ||
| Now, of course, the counter to that is, well, then if they can do it to Trump, they can do it to anybody. | ||
| Perfectly legit. | ||
| But now I wanted to show you one other clip for this, because here's Eric expanding on that a little bit, but basically getting into a more granular version of how the system is designed to block populist candidates. | ||
| But Trump was the little blip in that, and that's what they have to deal with now. | ||
| So what the two parties would do is that they would run primaries. | ||
| You'd have populist candidates and you'd pre-commit the populist candidates to support the candidates who won the primaries. | ||
| As long as that took place and you had two candidates that were both acceptable to the international order, that is, they aren't going to rethink NAFTA or NATO or what have you. | ||
| We called that democracy. | ||
| And so democracy was the illusion of choice, what's called magician's choice, where the choice is not actually, you know, pick a card, any card, but somehow the magician makes sure that the card that you pick is the one that he knows. | ||
| In that situation, you have magician's choice in the primaries, and then you'd have the duopoly field, two candidates, either of which was acceptable, and you could actually afford to hold an election. | ||
| and the populace would vote. And that way, the international order wasn't put at risk | ||
| every four years because you can't have alliances that are subject to the whim of | ||
| the people in plebiscites. So under that structure, everything was going fine until 2016. | ||
| And then the first candidate ever to not hold any position in the military nor position in government in the history of the Republic to enter the Oval Office, Donald Trump, broke through the primary structure. | ||
| So then there was a full court press, okay, we only have one candidate that's acceptable to the international order, and he's under the control of the Russians. | ||
| And then he was going to be, you know, a 20 to 1 underdog. | ||
| And then he wins. | ||
| And there was no precedent for this. | ||
| They learned their lesson. | ||
| You cannot afford to have candidates who are not acceptable to the international order and continue to have these alliances. | ||
| This is an unsolved problem. | ||
| You know, it's worth noting before we talk about what Eric's saying there, that Eric is not a Trump supporter. | ||
| He was working for Peter Thiel, the first Trump campaign around, and Thiel was at the RNC supporting Trump, and Eric did not vote for Trump. | ||
| Eric did not vote for Trump last time, as far as I know. | ||
| So here is someone who you can't, and he's certainly by no means a conservative, so here's someone who you can't, I know they can always try it, but you can't pin him as some far-right, right-wing, conservative, mean, blah blah blah blah blah. | ||
| You know, it's just simply not that. | ||
| The guy lived in San Francisco for the last 10 years. | ||
| Anyway, the point is that if you basically agree that a system existed and then Trump was the blip, he was the aberration and he got in because what they would do in the past, what he's referencing there is, oh, there were people like Rand Paul on the right, on the Republican side who had the populist momentum, but then they would force him to step in line. | ||
| and there were people on the left, like Bernie Sanders, who had the popular people, | ||
| the people's movement behind him, whether we like that socialist movement or not, | ||
| and then the system came in and said, no, no, no, it's gonna be Hillary, right? | ||
| And again, you can say there's reasons the system defends itself and all of that. | ||
| It's extremely complex, okay? | ||
| But he's just saying, here's how it is, and if you accept that basic premise, | ||
| then why would that system that really now rules the world, right? | ||
| Because we've become this global order. | ||
| Why would it allow someone who's not a member of the club in? | ||
| And that pretty much to me is exactly where we are at right now. | ||
| And I think that there's a lot of evidence for that. | ||
| And I think the Democrats are actually admitting it right now because they're so confident that they can win this election, which is really, I would say, well, as I said yesterday, downright evil. | ||
| We will talk about some of those evil people, including Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, Reid Hoffman, and then Quentin Tarantino. | ||
| He's not evil, great filmmaker, but pointing out something that I do think is evil. | ||
| We'll get to that in just a moment, but let me talk to you guys about preserved gold. | ||
| Guys, we're living in unpredictable times with digital currencies on the rise, a whopping $35 trillion in national debt and inflation, which is still at a 40-year high. | ||
| For these reasons and more, the big short traders known for their successful bet against the housing market back in 2008 are warning that Americans don't have enough gold in their portfolios. | ||
| Their advice comes amid massive central bank gold buying taking place globally and spiraling $35 trillion national debt lingering across the US. | ||

| Just text Dave to 50505 to receive this exclusive offer. | ||
| And now back to me. | ||
| OK, so again. | ||
| I'm trying not to go down crazy conspiracy road here. | ||
| I'm just presenting Eric's theory, which is that a structure, there's an international structure that implicitly and I would say illicitly exists. | ||
| It likes maintaining power. | ||
| And once people have power, they rarely give it away. | ||
| Donald Trump's not a member of that club. | ||
| He kind of snuck in one time and that they are most likely going to do everything they can to make sure That that does not happen a second time. | ||
| You might be watching that going, Dave, that's a little crazy. | ||
| Do you have a little evidence of that by some of the people that could potentially be doing it? | ||
| And I do, dear viewer. | ||
| Here is Nancy Pelosi talking to David Remnick about how Donald Trump will never get in the White House again. | ||
| This is from just last week. | ||
| My concern was this ain't happening. | ||
| And we have to make a decision for this to happen and the President has to make the decision for that to happen. | ||
| Let me just say, I won't say necessarily I knew what I was doing at that time. | ||
| I knew what I was doing in the whole thing, not just that show. | ||
| And what was that? | ||
| You're getting rid of Biden? | ||
| Okay, so what she's talking about there is, I knew what I was doing. | ||
| She's referencing getting rid of Joe Biden. | ||
| Because as I discussed with Sage yesterday, right before I went off the grid, there was a coup. | ||
| There was a coup. | ||
| I know no one's calling it a coup anymore. | ||
| I know no one's really talking about it anymore. | ||
| And that's part of when they bludgeon us with news and the news cycle and the never-ending scrolling, you just forget about the things they did. | ||
| So like assassination, two weeks later, you forget it. | ||
| Oh, coup, two weeks later, you forget it. | ||
| But basically what she is saying right there is I was making sure there was no way Donald Trump was gonna be president. | ||
| How was I doing that? | ||
| Well, we looked at the numbers, we saw the breakdown of Joe Biden, and we pressured him. | ||
| We now know that in effect, Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and a couple other powerful people, Chuck Schumer, got in there and they colluded with Kamala. | ||
| And they basically said, Joe, if you don't step down, we're going to 25th amendment you. | ||
| Because they knew that Obama's third term was basically not going to get a fourth term, right? | ||
| That Biden was not going to win. | ||
| Now I want to show you a clip. | ||
| When we were doing the rundown this morning, Phoenix said to me, I don't know how we didn't put this in yesterday's show. | ||
| But this is from the Democrat National Convention, which obviously I missed. | ||
| And this is Gavin Newsom talking to the Pod Save America guys. | ||
| These are all former Obama staffers. | ||
| I mean, like, it's just pure dribble, this podcast. | ||
| But here they are. | ||
| This is just days after they have accomplished the coup. | ||
| They're installing Kamala. | ||
| And Kamala is a servant to the machine that we're talking about. | ||
| And here they are fully admitting That it was completely undemocratic, that there was no choice, that it was not bottom-up, that it was not grassroots or anything. | ||
| Look at the way they all laugh. | ||
| It's so profoundly disgusting, and yet they do it right in front of you, and they know they can do that to their supporters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How are you feeling about the switch? | |
| I mean, the switch. | ||
| Now we went through a very open process, a very inclusive process. | ||
| It was bottom-up. | ||
| I don't know if you know that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, that's what I've been told to say. | |
| It was a blitz primary, I believe. | ||
| That's what they called it. | ||
| It was a very, very fast blitz. | ||
| I think it was a blink primary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was a 30-minute convention, you know, between a tweet and another tweet. | |
| It's amazing how it happened. | ||
| Yeah, it's been amazing. | ||
| But what is amazing is how unified everybody is. | ||
| I mean, it's next level. | ||
| That clip is, like, that goes in my top 20 clips that I've ever played on the show, because first off, there's a beauty to the clip. | ||
| We'll do the beauty part first. | ||
| The beauty is that Gavin knows he got burned, right? | ||
| Gavin wanted the freaking thing. | ||
| That's why Gavin was at the one debate that Biden and Trump did. | ||
| Gavin wanted it. | ||
| But there he is sitting there like a little bitch with his fake smile and his fake laugh with a bunch of soy boys. | ||
| And they're all admitting, oh, it wasn't grassroots. | ||
| It was a couple tweets that were sent and pressure applied and Gavin knows he's on the outs, but now he has to play ball, which is why at the end Gavin's like, but what I'm so happy about is that we're all unified. | ||
| So they don't care about the process. | ||
| They don't care about democracy. | ||
| They don't care about insulting their viewers. | ||
| They don't care about any of our founding documents. | ||
| What they care about is power. | ||
| That is all they want is power. | ||
| And the system, which just kicked Gavin Newsom out for the job that he has wanted his whole life, and he is the devil incarnate, and thank God he didn't get it, what is he now doing? | ||
| He is sucking up to the system once again, because it booted him, but oh, I'm just so happy that everyone is unified. | ||
| Because these people, to some extent, they are not real people with thinking brains, right? | ||
| They are not thinking for themselves, they are NPCs, non-playable characters, and we do whatever is in service to the machine. | ||
| Now I want to show you a video. | ||
| This is Reid Hoffman. | ||
| Now, Reid Hoffman, at one time I think he was the CEO of Netflix. | ||
| He was the former founder of LinkedIn. | ||
| Billionaire. | ||
| This is a guy, Democrat operative. | ||
| This is the guy who, when Larry Elder was running for Governor against Newsom in California. | ||
| He put out, he funded the worst, most racist, awful videos against Larry Elder. | ||
| He's a really, really terrible human being. | ||
| Follows me on Twitter for some reason. | ||
| He went on the All In podcast and watch him run cover for what the Democrats just did. | ||
| What did they just do? | ||
| They don't care about democracy. | ||
| They don't care about voting. | ||
| Just awful. | ||
| I'm back. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Do you think that they should have run an open primary after that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And would Kamala have won an open primary? | |
| Well, it's hard to know. | ||
| I mean, I think they were definitely leaning towards an open primary. | ||
| And then all the people who would be the most natural contenders all endorsed Kamala. | ||
| So and by the way, you say, well, kind of democratic process was like, well, there was a democratic process that picked the Biden-Harris ticket, which turned into the Harris-Waltz ticket. | ||
| And so that's not anti-democratic. | ||
| But I think if you look at the sequence of events, it was kind of like, well, you know, we're going to sort out, you know, what we're going to do. | ||
| And then, you know, all of the key folks, you know, Shapiro and Whitmer and everyone else all endorsed Kamala. | ||
| I was like, OK, let's just let's get back to, you know, kind of the choice of two candidates. | ||
| And so I, you know. | ||
| You know. | ||
| Do you feel the voters felt, Reid, do you think the voters felt left out? | ||
| The Democratic voters? | ||
| Well, I mean, from post fact, seems not right. | ||
| With the level of energy and all the rest, it seems that the pure polling and level energy | ||
| and what's going on... They're happy with what they got. | ||
| Yeah, they're happy with what they got. | ||
| Guys, I'm back for only, what, 21 minutes and I have to make a correction. | ||
| I made a full-on mistake there that is completely my fault. | ||
| That is not, Reed Hastings is the Netflix guy. | ||
| Reed Hastings is the Netflix guy who did the Larry Elder stuff and everything else. | ||
| That is Reed Hoffman. | ||
| I did say he is the co-founder of LinkedIn, that is who it is, but he is not Reed Hastings. | ||
| I want to be very clear about that. | ||
| I have had no problem with Reed Hoffman. | ||
| However, I have a bit of a problem with what he said right there, which is going on a show to basically run cover, be like, yeah, we know that they stole it. | ||
| That's basically what he's saying. | ||
| But then look at the energy. | ||
| Are the people upset that they didn't get the vote? | ||
| Well, look at the energy, look at the energy. | ||
| And that is what they do. | ||
| Because once you are in the machine, you will often just run cover for the machine. | ||
| I think the other part of what we are seeing right now is that... | ||
| As the machine has given us Kamala and is still doing whatever it can to get rid of Donald Trump. | ||
| What you are going to see, because right now this alliance that the left has created between the wacky progressives and the sort of ineffectual old school liberals who don't even know why they're Democrats anymore, and just like the real sort of rottenness of the Democrat Party, the way they did all of this, how they don't care about their own voters, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| What you're gonna see is sort of all of the evil burst forth, obviously. | ||
| That's why Nancy Pelosi has no problem going on a podcast and saying, yes, we did push him out. | ||
| It's why Gavin Newsom, post it happening, basically just has to fall in line. | ||
| They will all just do it as long as they can attain power. | ||
| Here's Quentin Tarantino, who is a fantastic director of Pulp Fiction. | ||
| One of the 20 best movies, I think, probably in American history. | ||
| Here he is on Bill Maher, Bill Maher's Club Random podcast, basically saying principles don't matter. | ||
| You've just got to win. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's where we're back to. | |
| We're at least back to normal, which sucked. | ||
| But it is normal that it's 50 50 going into the election. | ||
| With Biden, it wouldn't have been. | ||
| Let me ask you about this, though. | ||
| OK, look, look. | ||
| There's nothing you said that isn't right. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And there's definitely nothing you said that isn't right in a normal election cycle. | ||
| I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's irrefutably right in a normal election cycle where you have a year to set your case. | ||
| I think there's just all about winning the election. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And then the easiest path to winning the election. | ||
| Look, you can talk about maybe she should have had more guts about this or that and the other, but we're the president. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And Trump's not the president, and we're the f***ing president, and now it's gonna be about this. | ||
| But this is about f***ing winning. | ||
| What most people don't give the Democrats enough credit for, alright, but we give the Republicans credit for, it's like, no, sometimes it's just about f***ing winning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it doesn't matter how we look at this moment. | |
| It's about f***ing winning. | ||
| This is about f***ing winning. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| No, it is. | ||
| It's a mad f****** Dash and she is running and she's not stopping to stumble. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| And there's nothing wrong with stopping this. | ||
| I'm going to vote for her f****** anyway, no matter what she says in a stupid f****** interview. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So don't f****** stop! | ||
| So it's interesting because it really is the same thing as the Nancy Pelosi thing. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the rest of them admitting that they did the move to get rid of Biden and that they didn't run the primary and they don't care about their voters. | ||
| And here you have just a Hollywood guy. | ||
| Basically saying, the only thing that matters is winning. | ||
| So we don't care that there was a coup. | ||
| We don't care that they installed her. | ||
| And I love how they frame it. | ||
| And this is what they'll always do. | ||
| We're always going to see this. | ||
| In a normal time, we wouldn't behave this way. | ||
| But this isn't normal. | ||
| Well, you can make any moment not normal. | ||
| I would argue we're not in a normal moment. | ||
| We are on the verge, if Kamala wins, we are on the verge of a transformative move into Again, whatever you want to call it, communism, Marxism, socialism, et cetera, an overreaching government that will be in every part of our lives. | ||
| So they will do whatever it takes to win. | ||
| And by the way, when he's like, we give the Republicans credit for doing anything to win, and we don't give Democrats enough, and Democrats don't do it enough, I actually completely disagree with that. | ||
| I don't think that had the Republicans done this, let's put it this way. | ||
| Remember back in 2015 when Donald Trump was running as the insurgent candidate? | ||
| If the Republicans had somehow rigged the system and installed Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz or any of the other people, the base would have never taken it. | ||
| The party would have burned down. | ||
| They wouldn't have known what to do. | ||
| But the Republicans didn't. | ||
| The Republicans played by their own rules. | ||
| So there's even evidence that what he is saying there is wrong. | ||
| Uh, but I think more broadly and let's get to some of what's going on with Kamala right now. | ||
| Uh, in some ways, whoever is in charge and perhaps more specifically, whoever's in charge of Kamala at this point has an extremely, extremely anti-democratic and censorious agenda, not only against Trump, but against all of us. | ||
| And there is a war chest full of evidence for that, which we will get to in just a moment. | ||
| Let me talk to you guys about Bunker Live. | ||

| Okay, so, Kamala is just... | ||
| She is a cog. | ||
| She is an NPC in this thing. | ||
| This Wentz-Weltz-Wutz guy, I don't even know his name. | ||
| I don't even care about the VP's name at this point. | ||
| He's just a piece. | ||
| They are just all pieces of something that is coming to take down America. | ||
| I didn't want to come back on the grid and have to be so alarmist, but here is where we are at. | ||
| And there's just, I can't sugarcoat it. | ||
| So what is Kamala Harris all about? | ||
| And again, it doesn't mean that she believes any of these things. | ||
| She is just the vessel which puts them out there. | ||
| Well, she has a long history of being one of the most censorious people who has ever stepped foot into the government of the United States. | ||
| Here she is back in 2019, five years ago, when Donald Trump was president of the United States. | ||
| This is before January 6th, talking about how Trump's Twitter account should be suspended. | ||
| That he frankly should be, his Twitter account should be suspended. | ||
| I think there is plenty of now evidence to suggest that he is irresponsible with his words in a way that could result in harm to other people. | ||
| And so the privilege of using those words in that way should probably be taken from him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But doesn't that, I mean, play into certainly the hands of, you know, his, I don't know how many Twitter followers he has, I think it's in the range of 60 million, who say, well look, okay, now they're, now, you know, the rich folks in Silicon Valley are just trying to cut out, silence me and taking me off Twitter. | |
| I'm sure that that will, that will be said. | ||
| Okay, so that's 2019. | ||
| Again, before January 6th, that's her saying that it shouldn't be that you're the President of the United States, so you should have some tool that exists to communicate directly with the people. | ||
| What she's saying is the overlords, and credit to Anderson Cooper right there for asking the right question, she's saying the overlords of Silicon Valley should decide who should speak, and who they should speak to, and who you should be able to hear from and listen to. | ||
| But of course, I know you watching this right now, you're not surprised by any of that. | ||
| So let's just go a little further into her long history on this. | ||
| Here she is in 2020. | ||
| Yes, she wants more censoring on social media platforms. | ||
|

|
You've had an exchange with Senator Warren about Twitter and about Trump violating the terms of service. | |
| Why does that matter? | ||
| Of all the things, why that? | ||
| Ask the whistleblower. | ||
| Ask members of the United States Congress. | ||
| Ask the people who are prepared to testify about this president's lawlessness and obstruction of justice. | ||
| Ask the people and the families in El Paso when that shooter admitted in his manifesto that he was influenced by Donald Trump's tweets. | ||
| Donald Trump has 65 million followers on Twitter. | ||
| And we have to take seriously the weaponization of this platform by the president and the need, therefore, of a private corporation to be held accountable to say he has abused the terms. | ||
| And it could result, literally, in a threat to safety of human beings who are participating in the process of justice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There is not a part of you, civically, constitutionally, that is concerned about the precedent of a private company taking The platform away from the president of the United States or some other elected official? | |
| Free speech does not condone or protect threats to the safety of other human beings. | ||
| And so that is what we are talking about. | ||
| Let's be really clear about what we're talking about, because this can go into some abstract law school debate. | ||
| First off, I can't believe it. | ||
| I'm now gonna give Chris Hayes from MSNBC credit for asking the proper question. | ||
| My God, what's going on here? | ||
| You get it. | ||
| Actually, Kamala, we should go into that college philosophical debate about free speech. | ||
| Because had Donald Trump gone on Twitter and said, you guys should get out there and kill those people, or I'm going to kill those people, or go burn down this, Then it would be a direct violation of the First Amendment, right? | ||
| And then it wouldn't even be a problem for Twitter to take him down. | ||
| He would have a problem with the United States government, right? | ||
| Because you cannot directly threaten to harm people. | ||
| So we should have that philosophic debate because he never did those things. | ||
| You want to take vague statements, things that you don't like, and make sure that he cannot communicate with people. | ||
| And we know then that the administration, that she became part of, right, the Biden administration. | ||
| We now know, Psaki admitted it, we've shown you the videos a million times, that especially during COVID, they pressured Twitter to take, Twitter, Facebook, et cetera. | ||
| Not only did they pressure them to take down posts from not only political operatives and politicians, et cetera, et cetera, but from private citizens, including me, right? | ||
| Jim Jordan told me at the Capitol myself that I was on the list of people that got hit by this thing. | ||
| So they are the ones that have done it. | ||
| They are the ones that have done it and they will do it again. | ||
| Do we have one more video of Kamala illustrating that she wants to censor people? | ||
| We do. | ||
| Can you play it right now? | ||
| He has lost his privileges and it should be taken down. | ||
| And the bottom line is that you can't say that you have one rule for Facebook and you have a different rule for Twitter. | ||
| The same rule has to apply, which is that there has to be a responsibility that is placed on these social media sites to understand their power. | ||
| They are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation. | ||
| And that has to stop. | ||
| It's absolutely extraordinary that this woman was Attorney General of California. | ||
| No, you can have different rules at Twitter and at Facebook. | ||
| You can have different policies as it pertains to free speech and everything else, what you want on your platforms, right? | ||
| Of course you can. | ||
| They are different things. | ||
| Pinterest, does Pinterest still exist? | ||
| That's a hell of a reference, can be different than Instagram. | ||
| They can decide what they want on there. | ||
| But, Kamala, I know you didn't mean it this way, but I'll try to be a little bit nice to you on my first day back. | ||
| If you want one rule, if what you're arguing is that there should be one rule, the premise is wrong, but if you are arguing that there's one rule, I'll give you something that could be the one rule for all of them. | ||
| How about the First Amendment of the United States? | ||
| Of course, the problem is that she does not believe in the First Amendment of the United States. | ||
| Let's jump over to RFK Jr. | ||
| because I mentioned at the top of the show that really the best news that I heard when Sage brought me back yesterday from the entire month is that RFK is stepping out and he's going to back Trump, right? | ||
| What was one of my main concerns about Trump is that he wouldn't get the right people behind him in a future administration. | ||
| Well now he's got Elon who's already saying he's basically willing to staff. | ||
| We know he's got David Sachs now. | ||
| RFK maybe could come in and do some work at the CIA or the NIH, clean these things up. | ||
| So something's starting to bubble up. | ||
| But here is RFK Jr. | ||
| explaining, this is just a few days ago on Tucker Carlson's podcast, talking about how Kamala and Biden Basically, the second they got into office, began to import illegals so that they could pressure companies to censor us. | ||
| And then, of course, what that eventually turns into is having these people vote. | ||
| Go. | ||
| 37 hours after he took the oath of office, President Biden's White House opened up a portal for the FBI to begin to have access to social media posts on all the different social media sites. | ||
| And the FBI then invited in the CIA, DHS, the IRS, and CISA. | ||
| CISA is this new agency that is the center of the censorship industrial complex. | ||
| That is in charge of making sure Americans don't hear things that their government doesn't want them to hear. | ||
| And those agencies and other agencies, including the health agencies like CDC, were given access to go into the social media sites and change posts and slow walk things and shadow ban post that was part of that effort and they removed my | ||
| Instagram account. | ||
| I had almost a million followers. | ||
| They say it was for misinformation, but they could not point to a single post that I ever | ||
| made that was factually erroneous. | ||
| And they actually, Facebook pushed back in the email chain. | ||
| You can see Facebook pushing back at the White House and saying, wait a minute, he's not, this isn't misinformation. | ||
| This is not factually erroneous. | ||
| What they're saying is actually true. | ||
| And they had to invent a new word, which is called malinformation, which is information that is factually true, but nevertheless inconvenient for the government. | ||
| And that became disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation. | ||
| That's what that is. | ||
| There's really there's so much there and the fact that we'll get more into this and I'll have RFK back on again and I think maybe we're gonna try to do a live event with him and talk about the Trump situation everything else but there's so much interesting stuff there because first up it should be noted that even if RFK jr. | ||
| with his 1 million followers on Instagram was sharing misinformation misinformation getting something wrong either intentionally or not is not illegal Right? | ||
| Again, it would be against the First Amendment if you were like, shoot those people over there, burn down that church. | ||
| That would be illegal. | ||
| And I would be for having it taken down. | ||
| And I would be for having the United States government go after the people that were doing such a thing. | ||
| So he's going out of his way to give them more credit, I think, than they deserve. | ||
| But in essence, he's saying, hey, look, it was Biden and Kamala that from getting into within 48 hours of being in the Oval Office, they opened up the social media sites to everyone. | ||
| In July of 21 I put up a tweet that said the vaccines were not working as promised and mandates were coming and I was banned from Twitter. | ||
| We now know, again I mentioned it, Jim Jordan told me that was taken down by the government. | ||
| You do not get your apology. | ||
| Now the way I want to sort of connect this to the election and everything that's going to happen over the next two months is that as Trump gains momentum As he keeps going on more and more of these podcasts, and we're hoping to interview him before the election and everything else. | ||
| As that wide tent, which now includes RFK, and now it includes Tulsi, and all of these disaffected Democrats, | ||
| and all of these MMA guys and video gamers, as that wide 10 widens, what can the machine do? | ||
| Well, all it really can do is censor you. | ||
| It can censor you and scare the hell out of you so that in their eyes, hopefully you vote for Kamala. | ||
| And there are warning signs that that is exactly what's gonna happen | ||
| because right now in Brazil, there is a massive assault on free speech. | ||
| I want to show you this tweet from Elon Musk. | ||
| It's a retweet from X Daily News. | ||
| The news is, and then I'll read Elon's comment. | ||
| News. | ||
| Brazil's ban on X has started coming into effect in the past few hours. | ||
| Justice Moraes is threatening Brazilians who use a VPN to access X with fines of up to $9,000 a day. | ||
| TwitterX is now banned in Brazil. | ||
| They're going to fine you if you figure out a way, a VPN, or you figure out some other technological way around it. | ||
| And now put the tweet up again because I want to show what Elon said there. | ||
| The Brazilian people will learn of this, of his crimes, no matter how much he tries to stop it. | ||
| So Elon once again is at the forefront, the forefront of fighting for free speech, not only here in America, but now across the world. | ||
| There's another a little indicator of how tenuous things are | ||
| as it pertains to free speech in the West right now. | ||
| This is a tweet from BRICS News. | ||
| Elon Musk asks French president Emmanuel Macron to explain why Telegram founder, Pavel Durov was arrested. | ||
| Most of you probably heard about this story. | ||
| Sage Steele caught me up on this a couple of days ago, but Pavel is the founder of Telegram | ||
| and various governments, including the French government, were saying to him, hey, there are people on your platform | ||
| that might be talking about things we don't like. | ||
| And I have no doubt people are doing illegal things there, right? | ||
| People are doing illegal things there. | ||
| People are doing illegal things on all these platforms. | ||
| But because he would not work with the government, he was now arrested. | ||
| As far as I understand it, he is not even a French citizen. | ||
| So the idea here is that they will ramp up the censorship as much as possible because what is the one thing that they don't want? | ||
| Well, that flashes us back to the first clip we showed you today from Eric Weinstein. | ||
| The one thing they don't want is a true populist movement, a true What do I keep calling it? | ||
| The true wide tent movement where a bunch of us are just like, get out of our lives. | ||
| We don't want you peering in to every part of our lives and having control over everything we do and constantly taking money from us and crashing economies and everything else so that you can attain power. | ||
| And I want to flashback to a clip. | ||
| We've shown you this a couple of times, but I thought it was, I thought this was sort of a granular version of everything else that we've been talking about here. | ||
| So we've mostly done the free speech version of this, that it will be, it will be censorship because their policies are bad. | ||
| But let's talk for a moment about how bad their policies are. | ||
| We know that the Democrats have let in all of these people. | ||
| We know that the Democrats and the machine have caused inflation and pumped money to the system and endlessly printed money and everything else. | ||
| And that they've wrecked policing and all of that stuff. | ||
| And what does that do? | ||
| Well, it makes it so that blue cities become unlivable. | ||
| Here's Shark Tank host Kevin O'Leary a couple months ago on CNN explaining how this isn't just some like ephemeral thing out there. | ||
| You vote these people in or somehow they get power and they wreck pretty much everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And here's the one thing that nobody saw coming, and this is the competition of states. | |
| I don't put companies here in New York anymore, or in Massachusetts, or in New Jersey, or in California. | ||
| Those states are uninvestable. | ||
| The policy here is insane. | ||
| The taxes are too high. | ||
| We put them in Fargo, North Dakota, because 40% of the people work elsewhere, including Boston. | ||
| A bit of a debate with Elizabeth Warren about this, but I say, look, Senator, we've got to move the companies out of your state because you're not investable anymore. | ||
| You're punishing people if they're successful. | ||
| You overtax them. | ||
| You hit them with a super tax. | ||
| New Jersey, what a mess. | ||
| New York, uninvestable. | ||
| Wait, why is New York uninvestable? | ||
| Try and do a project in New York. | ||
| Try and build a data... Yeah, I'm asking, Don's point, is it beyond the taxes? | ||
| Oh, the regulatory environment is punitive. | ||
| I had a project in upstate New York behind the grid in Niagara Falls for electricity. | ||
| A global data center we were building. | ||
| Eventually it got so bad with the politicians in the local region and the state policy, we moved it to Norway. | ||
| And all the jobs. | ||
| Norway has it now. | ||
| Thousands of jobs coming out of that. | ||
| I mean, that is, that's New York. | ||
| Uninvestable. | ||
| Sorry, don't shoot the messenger, just telling you the way it is. | ||
| So that's the granular version, because that's the part that, you know, sometimes you talk about the free speech stuff, or what's happening on social media platforms, and everyone's like, ah, it's happening, but I can still speak, and I'm, you know, they're not throwing people in jail just yet, and everything else. | ||
| But we all know the other part. | ||
| We all know the other part of what happens when you tax the high hell out of people, and when you overregulate, and everything else. | ||
| And it's funny, he opens that by saying, no one saw this coming, And yet there's been a massive influx. | ||
| We know about the reordering of the United States and the massive move from red states to blue states, and that virtually nobody is moving from blue states to red states. | ||
| There is a reason that Joe Rogan left Los Angeles, right? | ||
| And moved to Texas. | ||
| We know why. | ||
| There is a reason that Elon Musk took all of his companies and now is taking Twitter out of San Francisco, | ||
| out of California and moved to Texas. | ||
| There is a reason I left Los Angeles and took two companies and moved to Florida. | ||
| There is a reason that Kevin O'Leary is no longer doing business in New York. | ||
| And that is the point because it will collapse everything if people can't move to a place | ||
| and follow the American dream and build businesses that then once they have some money, | ||
| they can start building better communities, doing more with their lives, | ||
| then those places will collapse. | ||
| And that's kind of where we're getting to if we're not there already. | ||
| We've got more on what the Democrats' plan is, and of course, yes, it does involve bringing in a whole bunch of non-Americans, giving them stuff, and making them sort of perpetual slaves. | ||
| We'll get to that in a second. | ||
| Let me talk to you about 1775 coffee. | ||
| Guys, if you're just an average Joe, you probably don't know that every sip of that big woke corporation-owned coffee you're drinking is killing you. | ||
| That's because the U.S. | ||
| does not only have the worst border policy in the world, good segue for what we're doing today, it also has the worst and lowest standards for coffee quality imports in the entire world, meaning that even coffee beans that China and Russia reject, you drink. | ||
| Yeah, let that sink in. | ||
| Most coffee is full of mold and beans sprayed with pesticides. | ||
| Oh, and if you drink decaf, it's also full of chemicals. | ||
| It's no wonder you always feel tired, jittery, laggy, and foggy. | ||
| That's why at Rumble, where we drink a lot of coffee, we sought out the very best high quality single source beans in the world. | ||
| We found them and have brought them to you. | ||
| For a limited time, you can try Rumble's 1775 coffee on a subscription and save 40% off your first bag today. | ||
| Support freedom of speech and build a parallel economy that actually values you. | ||
| Go to 1775coffee.com slash Reuben right now and pick up your first bag. | ||
| Use code Reuben to save 40% off your first subscription order. | ||
| And now back to me. | ||
| Okay, so what is the plan? | ||
| If Eric is roughly right that there is a system in place that will not allow Donald Trump to win, and if I'm roughly right that Donald Trump is creating a wide tent and it's becoming too obvious, if they steal it or whatever else, it's becoming too obvious, then what is it that these people will do? | ||
| Well, what they will do is they will... | ||
| Try to make it so that every single illegal, which could be as many now, | ||
| we think it could be 12 to 15 million that have come in under the Biden administration, | ||
| they will make sure that they are given stuff, including mortgages, right? | ||
| We covered that yesterday, and we'll get to that in a second, | ||
| that they are given stuff, that they will be on the dole, | ||
| they will be basically slaves to the Democrat Party, and they will always vote for them. | ||
| Here is Kamala Harris calling for the naturalization of illegals and abolition of ICE at the border. | ||
| We can create an earned pathway to citizenship. | ||
| And folks, on the subject of transnational gangs, let's be perfectly clear. | ||
| The president's medieval vanity project is not going to stop them. | ||
| To visit the border. | ||
| We are going to the border. | ||
| We've been to the border. | ||
| You haven't been to the border. | ||
| And I haven't been to Europe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't understand the point that you're making. | |
| Standing there saying, abolish ICE. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that a position that you agree with? | |
| We need to probably think about starting from scratch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. | |
| We're not going to treat people who are undocumented across the border as criminals. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| We will not rest until Congress provides all DREAMers with permanent protections, including a pathway to citizenship. | ||
| I know what a crime looks like. | ||
| And I will tell you, an undocumented immigrant is not a terrorist. | ||
| And I actually, as Attorney General, informed California law enforcement that ICE detainers are not mandatory. | ||
| I disagreed with it and that's why I issued that policy for the sheriffs and the district attorneys of California telling them that these were not mandatory. | ||
| All right, so you don't need my analysis in her own words. | ||
| She is here to bring people who are not citizens into the country, give them stuff, make sure they are not prosecuted. | ||
| And by the way, she's completely wrong, of course. | ||
| It is a crime to illegally cross our borders. | ||
| So she might say it's not a crime, but it is a crime. | ||
| Just like if you walked into my house without my permission, that would be a crime. | ||
| That would be trespassing, right? | ||
| So when you do it in someone else's country, it would be a crime. | ||
| But that is the plan, and that's why for them, for the people that want to take out the United States of America, for the people who want to maintain control over whatever that system and machine is, she's really kind of the perfect avatar. | ||
| She doesn't really believe in anything. | ||
| She can read a script better than Joe Biden could. | ||
| She'll play along. | ||
| She doesn't deserve to be there, so she has to suck up. | ||
| That is exactly what she will do. | ||
| But of course, there's more on this. | ||
| Now, we showed you the Nancy Pelosi clip. | ||
| before basically just letting us go behind the curtain. | ||
| Oh, we went behind the curtain and she's like, yeah, yeah, we did steal the thing. | ||
| We did coup and yeah, it's all good. | ||
| Well, now she's also doing it again. | ||
| She's letting us go behind the curtain again. | ||
| She was on real time with Bill Maher last Friday and here she is basically saying, yes, we are bringing these people in and we want them documented so they can vote. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you'd vote for this law? | |
| Excuse me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you'd vote for this law? | |
| Well, I don't, I'm not familiar with exactly what it is, but making the American dream of home ownership available to all people is something we have to do for people who are here now. | ||
| This is before Eurasia, this is undocumented. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is for the undocumented. | |
| Well, what I would like to do is move them to documented. | ||
| Okay, so first I'll do my little friendly nudge to Bill Maher on my first show back, which is, Bill, you can't vote for these people if you don't like that stuff, right? | ||
| You're gonna vote for the very same people. | ||
| What they're referencing there is the bill that's gonna give $150,000 to illegals to buy homes in the United States. | ||
| But she wants them here. | ||
| She wants them to be documented. | ||
| And it's not because Nancy Pelosi is a nice lady, right? | ||
| I mean, imagine you're one of her grandchildren and you see her in weird lighting. | ||
| You'd freak out. | ||
| You'd be scarred for life. | ||
| It's not because she's a nice lady. | ||
| It's because she wants power. | ||
| She has power and she wants more power. | ||
| Unlimited power. | ||
| That is what she wants. | ||
| So that's my little nudge to Bill. | ||
| But I do think it's nice that she's kind of admitting it right in front of our eyes. | ||
| And by the way, the American dream is not supposed to be for everyone. | ||
| Let's see who can do it in the room, guys. | ||
| Yeah, I know you guys have been off for a while. | ||
| Who's the American dream for? | ||
| Someone yell it out. | ||
| Americans, that's right! | ||
| Connor's getting free soda today! | ||
| That's right, the American Dream is for Americans. | ||
| The American Dream is not for people, say, from who? | ||
| Name a country, name a country. | ||
| Somebody, somebody. | ||
| Yemen! | ||
| It's not for people from Yemen, unless they come here legally, in which case they're Americans. | ||
| Boy, you guys are on it. | ||
| You guys get it. | ||
| You guys get it. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And Elon Musk, of course, gets it too. | ||
| He saw that clip and he wrote this. | ||
| As I was saying, the Democratic Party is importing voters. | ||
| It's that simple. | ||
| And yes, it is that simple. | ||
| Now, what else can they do? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, if you censor the hell out of people, Now you also see that Donald Trump is doing the wide tent thing. | ||
| And then you also, so your counter to that is okay, we're gonna make illegals vote. | ||
| But let's say that doesn't. | ||
| Now you've got a whole, you're doing all your magic tricks and the magic tricks aren't quite working or people are seeing through the magic tricks or anything else. | ||
| Maybe, maybe what would be good, it would be very convenient if you could throw your political opponent in jail all the while saying that he's the one that wants to throw his political opponents in jail. | ||
| Here's Kamala yesterday joking Donald Trump is trying to pull us backwards. | ||
| Including back to a time before workers had the freedom to organize. | ||
| Well, the courts will handle that and we will handle November. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| Oh, it's so hilarious. | ||
| And of course, there's the cackle when someone yells out, Donald Trump's going to jail. | ||
| The courts will handle that. | ||
| So they have their insurance plan, right? | ||
| Their insurance plan is, boy, if we really keep going and we keep censoring and everything, and none of this is working, we could throw the guy in jail. | ||
| This is, we are there. | ||
| We are in Banana Republic. | ||
| Level stuff right now. | ||
| That is basically where we are at now. | ||
| Kamala, of course, because she doesn't believe in anything, she will do anything to get power. | ||
| One of the things she will do, and it's unclear to me whether it's and I guess it was a little controversial right before I went off the grid, whether she's black or Indian and she claims she celebrated Kwanzaa. | ||
| There's a lot going on there with that lady. | ||
| But I do know from all the times I've listened to her speak that she doesn't have a sort of like black affect when she's speaking, except I guess sometimes she does list just the The pandering of these people | ||
| That's what everyone's saying. | ||
| I don't even know what that affect is. | ||
| Like, she's trying to be like, I'm from the hood or something, and that'll somehow get me in with the union people or something like that. | ||
| It should be noted that Kamala Harris grew up in Montreal, Canada. | ||
| Both her parents were PhD fellows. | ||
| So that, you know, you might want to put that somewhere. | ||
| I'm pretty sure that's not her actual accent. | ||
| Here is Fox News' Peter Doocy, one of the few actual journalists that they actually let in the White House these days, asking Corinne Jean-Pierre, diversity hire Corinne Jean-Pierre. | ||
| One of my predictions maybe was going to be that she would get the boot while I was gone, but she's still there. | ||
| He asked her about Kamala's new accent. | ||
| Since when does the Vice President have what sounds like a southern accent? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have no idea what you're talking about. | |
| Well, I mean, this is... She was talking about unions in Detroit, using one tone of voice. | ||
| Is this something that you think... Same line... Okay, Peter, let's... She used the same line in Pittsburgh, and it sounded like she at least had some kind of a Southern crawl. | ||
| I mean, do you hear the question that you're... I mean, do you think Americans seriously think that this is an important question? | ||
| Actually, Americans do think it's an important question. | ||
| I think it's an important question. | ||
| Who is this woman and why does she pander? | ||
| And we know this, right? | ||
| This is Hillary Clinton with hot sauce in her pocketbook. | ||
| Why do they pander? | ||
| Why do they make up accents and everything else? | ||
| Why is it that for years I have said that a man who is orange, with the craziest hair ever, who's a billionaire, is more relatable and real than anyone that the machine can put out there. | ||
| The reason is they're all NPCs. | ||
| They're not fully formed humans. | ||
| Of course, the other thing that they have to do in their onslaught against this country is that it's not gonna be that easy. | ||
| Even if you took out Donald Trump, you still have a problem here in America because our Constitution, our founding documents, are the best man-written, human-created documents that ever freed people in the history of the world. | ||
| So the other thing that they are going to have to do While they are trying to either jail Trump or import voters or censor the hell out of all of us, the other thing that they're going to have to do is they are going to have to try to undermine not only the founding of the country, which they've been doing forever, but the Constitution itself, right? | ||
| The Constitution, which is sacred, whether you are a believer in a traditional sense or not, there are things that are sacred. | ||
| The Constitution is something that should be considered sacred and we should not be messing with it. | ||
| But for years now, the New York Times has been going after the Constitution. | ||
| Check out, I want to show you this headline first from the New York Times. | ||
| This is just in the last couple of days. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| This is obviously an editorial from the Critics Notebook. | ||
| The Constitution is sacred. | ||
| Yes, I agree. | ||
| Is it also dangerous? | ||
| One of the biggest threats to America's politics might be in the country's founding documents. | ||
| And now I want to read you, this is from a Twitter account. | ||
| What's the name of the Twitter account? | ||
| Citizen Caller, I want to read you some analysis here and then we'll show you what the New York Times has been up to. | ||
| New York Times trashes the Constitution. | ||
| In a long piece, writer Jennifer Sazalai describes it as a document that is essentially anti-democratic and in this day and age increasingly dysfunctional. | ||
| She laments how it prevents a tyranny of the majority, making familiar arguments against the electoral college, originalism, and the overturning of Roe, which most Americans disagreed. | ||
| She portrays the Constitution's protection of minority rights as a tyranny of the minority, and strangely worries about the disempowerment of majorities that lead to paralysis and fuels popular disaffection. | ||
| She fails to understand how the framers were wise to mistrust pure democracy, which is why they established a republic. | ||
| One that uses democratic processes, such as elections, but sought to prevent the nightmare scenario where a majority of 51% of the electorate could oppress the other 49%. | ||
| The left has always hated the Constitution for thwarting their ability to accumulate power. | ||
| Now that they are dominant, controlling almost all of the major institutions, and believe incorrectly that a majority of Americans agree with them, they view these restraints with increasing disdain and dream of a future where their power has no limits of any kind. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You get it. | ||
| You see it. | ||
| By the way, one of the things, what was one of the big stories right before I went off the grid, it was Joe Biden, a man with dementia who, I guess, did I even say Joe Biden's name once today? | ||
| I mentioned the coup. | ||
| Joe Biden's calling for packing the Supreme Court because they don't like the institutions when the institutions do not do the things that they want. | ||
| Check this out from Wall Street Silver. | ||
| They went back in, and here, I don't have to read all of these for you, but if you're listening on the audio podcast, they've got about 10 headlines here of the New York Times just going after the Constitution, just showing headlines. | ||
| Let's give up the Constitution. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| lacks what every democracy needs, etc., etc. | ||
| You get the point. | ||
| So they are, they have made it Sort of, I guess you could call it intellectual policy that our founding documents are bad. | ||
| And now this is bubbling up into mainstream media news. | ||
| Over on the televised mental institution known as MSNBC, they had Berkeley law professor. | ||
| Yeah, you should really be trusting someone from Berkeley. | ||
| They had a guy named Erwin Chemerinsky come on to talk about how the constitution, it's bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Joining us now is Dean Erwin Chemerinsky. | |
| His new book is titled, No Democracy Lasts Forever, How the Constitution Threatens the United States. | ||
| Dean Chemerinsky, thanks for being with us this morning. | ||
| So how, in your view, does the Constitution that this country was built on and has been for nearly 250 years is a threat, actually, to the country? | ||
| Choices that were made in adopting the Constitution have come to haunt us. | ||
| The Electoral College increasingly is choosing the President who lost the popular vote. | ||
| Two Senators per state is undermining democracy. | ||
| In the last session of Congress, there were 50 Democratic Senators and 50 Republican Senators, but the 50 Democratic Senators represented 42 million people. | ||
| Life tenure for Supreme Court justices is increasingly problematic. | ||
| For much of American history, the tenure for Supreme Court justice was an average of 15 years. | ||
| Since 1970, it's been 27 years. | ||
| All of these are choices made in 1787, but they've become much more salient in recent years. | ||
| I don't feel like debunking all of that on my first day back. | ||
| Everything he said there, like none of it, those are all opinions that he has about why he doesn't like the Constitution. | ||
| But there's no proof that any of that is undermining people's freedom. | ||
| The Constitution has freed us. | ||
| There are reasons the Electoral College makes sense. | ||
| In the Twitter, in the tweet that I read before that, that you wouldn't want that 51% majority going and ruling the 49%, right? | ||
| There's a reason you want two senators from each state because the state The states are supposed to be equal. | ||
| Then you have Congress people, legislatures based on population. | ||
| There's just so much nonsense. | ||
| And he doesn't like the Supreme Court anymore because it's not ruling in a way that he likes because all they want is power. | ||
| All they want is power. | ||
| But to tie all this together, the main reason they are going after the Constitution is because the Constitution has that First Amendment, your God-given right to free speech, and that the United States government will protect it. | ||
| It didn't give it to you. | ||
| It will protect it. | ||
| But they hate that. | ||
| And now I was given a gift. | ||
| I was given... Well, I'm going to hold the gift for a moment. | ||
| Let's go back to 2021 for a moment and show you a man who looks like a potato, Brian Stelter, who of course then got fired by CNN, talking about censorship here. | ||
| So he's just part of the machine. | ||
| He's an NPC piece of the machine explaining why censorship is good. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| And the polluters are trying to deflect blame. | ||
| Dishonest cries of censorship are filling Fox's airwaves with charges that these guys right here are being suppressed. | ||
| The word censorship's been invoked almost 400 times on Fox this month alone, and more than 300 times on Newsmax. | ||
| But while some cry cancel culture, let me suggest a different way to think about this. | ||
| A harm reduction model. | ||
| Most people want clean air and blue skies and accurate news and rational views, and then in that healthy environment, that looks beautiful, then we can have great fights about taxes and regulation and healthcare and all the rest. | ||
| The vast majority of people can agree that disinformation about, let's say the pandemic, is unhealthy. | ||
| It's harmful. | ||
| So how can that harm be reduced? | ||
| Well, big tech platforms say they are removing lies about vaccines and stamping out Stop the Steal BS and QAnon cult content. | ||
| Now, do these private companies have too much power? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Many people would say yes, of course they do. | ||
| But reducing a liar's reach is not the same as censoring freedom of speech. | ||
| Freedom of speech is different than freedom of reach. | ||
| And algorithmic reach is part of the problem. | ||
| Oh, Stelter, oh, Stelter. | ||
| Well, of course, in retrospect, watching that from a couple of years ago, Stelter is not only wrong about everything, and yes, if the government encourages private companies to stamp down on people's free speech and not let things be heard, then that is a violation of the First Amendment. | ||
| Of course, it also is true that everything that he wanted, that he referred to there as misinformation as it pertained to COVID, you guys were the ones spreading misinformation. | ||
| You guys, CNN, and you, Potato Head Stelter, you have spread far more misinformation about vaccines and everything else than I ever have for sure. | ||
| It's not even debatable. | ||
| Now, what is the gift? | ||
| What is the gift that the good Lord and he is good has given me on my comeback day? | ||
| Well, yesterday, the day I get back on the grid. | ||
| How does this happen? | ||
| Stelter, the embarrassed, The pushed away, the mock who oblivioned Brian Stelter, who got fired from CNN for being basically their chief liar and propagandist, and then got a job teaching journalism at Harvard, he got rehired by CNN yesterday. | ||
| Yes, it's true. | ||
| I cannot believe it. | ||
| Here's Brian Stelter. | ||
| I am returning to CNN in a brand new role as chief media analyst. | ||
| I'll be appearing on TV developing digital content and once again helming the Reliable Sources newsletter. | ||
| Look, I just want to very clearly, I don't know who the network executive was at CNN that brought him back, but I really do want to say thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You have no idea how many jokes I will now make at his expense. | ||
| You have no idea how many viral clips I will get out because of him. | ||
| You have no idea how many times I will be able to use him and you guys as a network to show the misinformation and the malinformation and the pure government propaganda that you guys put out there. | ||
| So thank you for taking that jelly-filled man and plucking him out of Harvard obscurity and putting him back on the airwaves. | ||
| I genuinely thank you and I'd like to send you people... | ||
| Box of jelly donuts in honor of Brian Stelter. | ||
| Find out who we can send the jelly donuts to. | ||
| So what do we do, guys? | ||
| They're bringing back the liars. | ||
| They're going to try to censor us. | ||
| They're going to try to bring in new voters. | ||
| They're telling us that they're doing all of it. | ||
| So what can we do? | ||
| Well, we still have some technological communication in our hands. | ||
| As crazy as this damn thing is, and for the month that I took off it, we still have some tools on this that allow us to get this across. | ||
| I'm still here doing this with you. | ||
| Right? | ||
| We're still able to do this. | ||
| So there are some ways through that thing that we can communicate with each other. | ||
| And then what we have to do is not only keep communicating with each other and work around their censorious nature, is that we have to continue to expand that wide tent movement. | ||
| And we know that that's happening because of the RFK thing with Trump and the Tulsi thing with Trump. | ||
| And I have no doubt there's just much more of that happening. | ||
| To that point, here's Donald Trump going on Lex Friedman podcast. | ||
| Lex is definitely a lefty, a liberal, did not vote for Trump. | ||
| And here they are talking about why Kamala is a communist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's a lot of people listening to this, myself included, that doesn't think that Kamala is a communist. | |
| Well, she's a Marxist. | ||
| Her father's a Marxist. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| It's a little unusual. | ||
| She's advocating for some policies that are towards the direction of democratic socialism, let's say. | ||
| But there's a lot of people that kind of know the way government works and they say, well, none of those policies are going to actually It could come to reality. | ||
| It's just being used during the campaign to, you know, groceries are too expensive. | ||
| We need them cheaper. | ||
| So let's talk about price controls and that's never going to come to reality. | ||
| It could come to reality. | ||
| Look, I mean, she came out with price control. | ||
| It's been tried like 121 different times at different places over the years. | ||
| And it's never worked once. | ||
| It leads to communism. | ||
| It leads to socialism. | ||
| It leads to having no food on the shelves. | ||
| And it leads to tremendous inflation. | ||
| One of the tragic things about life is that it ends. | ||
| How often do you think about your death? | ||
| Are you afraid of it? | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| I mean, you know, if you're religious you have, I think, a better feeling toward it. | ||
| You know, you're supposed to go to heaven, ideally not hell, but you're supposed to go to heaven if you're good. | ||
| I think our country's missing a lot of religion. | ||
| I think it really was a much better place with religion. | ||
| It was almost a guide, you know, to a certain extent it was a guide. | ||
| You want to be good to people. | ||
| Without religion, there's no real—there are no guardrails. | ||
| I'd love to see us get back to religion, more religion than this could. | ||
| All right, so let me do the latter part of that first. | ||
| You'd like to get to heaven, not to hell. | ||
| Hell's no good. | ||
| You know, who wants to be in hell? | ||
| Even the way he explains that. | ||
| Like Donald Trump is obviously not particularly religious. | ||
| Religious people like him because the policies that he's put in place have strengthened some of their beliefs. | ||
| I don't know what he fully believes in his heart or in his mind or in his spirit himself. | ||
| But he's basically right there about guardrails around society, right? | ||
| So he's basically right about that. | ||
| And again, he just answered, you can just see the way he's speaking. | ||
| He's just telling you what he thinks in a clean way. | ||
| Lex, I'm not particularly impressed with the way he asked that question, because it's like, you still don't get it. | ||
| That actually, when they tell you that they're trying to usher in communism and everything else, like, no, they're not democrat socialists anymore. | ||
| No one even uses that phrase. | ||
| Like, oh, they're just trying to get in power saying it. | ||
| It's like, no, Trump actually shot that down pretty quickly. | ||
| And it was like, no, they are Marxists. | ||
| And her father was a Marxist. | ||
| And they are communists. | ||
| Yes, they want governmental control over everything. | ||
| They want to be able to print money whenever they can. | ||
| They want to flood our borders. | ||
| Like, we all know what's happening right now. | ||
| But the point is that it is good, the reason I'm showing you that, it is good that Trump is going on a podcast like that. | ||
| Again, it's how you get around the censorious, machine. And then of course the other part of this is as | ||
| that wide tent thing builds, you need Trump to bring in people who will help make him a | ||
| better president than the first time around. And he was a pretty damn good president, | ||
| particularly before COVID the first time around. | ||
| Here's RFK talking about how he will, if Donald Trump becomes president, | ||
| help Trump pick people to run the government. | ||
| How do you spend from here until election day? | ||
| I'm going to work to get him elected. | ||
| And, you know, I'm working with the campaign. | ||
| We're working on policy issues together. | ||
| I've been asked to go onto the transition team and, you know, to help pick the people who will be running the government. | ||
| And I'm looking forward to that. | ||
| So that's it, guys, right? | ||
| Not all of our problems will be solved by politics, but if we have Donald Trump as president again, right, and we have good people beneath him, if Elon Musk is involved in staffing, and RFK Jr. | ||
| is involved in figuring out what's going on with some of the institutions and the deep state and the rest of it, and they create the conditions so that other people, other good people, innovative people, people who are thinking differently about things, problem solvers, people who know how to build things, If all of them are suddenly like, boy, I could be part of this. | ||
| America's pretty good. | ||
| Maybe I could use some of my skills and my abilities and my passions to make America great again. | ||
| That actually is how you save this thing. | ||
| So on this first show back, I know we have our work cut out for us, but what do you have better to do than be a part of saving this great country? | ||
| I do not have anything better to do. | ||
| Guys, if you did not catch it, my return to the grid, it's about two hours getting caught up on absolutely everything with the, just like... | ||
| Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful stage steal. | ||
| Of course, that's up on all platforms. | ||
| We've got some new merch coming, including our new mug. | ||
| If you didn't notice, we also, we have a new logo, we've got new music, we've got new graphics, couple other things coming out soon. | ||
| And I also, a lot of you have been asking me now that I have returned to social media, what's going on with the tequila? | ||
| My hope was to have the pre-sale, well, originally I wanted the tequila to be officially for sale yesterday. | ||
| That was originally my hope. | ||
| As I said, it's very, in the show, when I went off the grid, Starting a liquor company is tough. | ||
| It's tough, it's tough. | ||
| So we're working on all that. | ||
| We should, by next week, have the pre-sale up, and I think we will have tequila in your hands by October, but certainly before Thanksgiving, I promise you that. | ||
| All right, we leave you with that orange man, and post-game show in just a moment, ReubenReport.Locals.com. | ||
| It's good to be back. | ||
| I thank you guys, and we'll see you tomorrow. | ||
