Yo, yo, yo! | ||
I'm Dave Rubin. | ||
This is The Rubin Report on September 23rd, 2024. | ||
We're live-streaming, as always, on Rumble YouTube and Locals. | ||
Join us, rubinreport.locals.com. | ||
If you'd like to play along during the show, you can enter our live chat, or for the post-game wrap-up, where you can ask me questions, you can correct me, you can mock me, all sorts of things. | ||
And I feel I owe everybody an apology, because according to my phone here, it is 1102, We're starting a good two minutes late because we were basically all talking about what we ate over the weekend and then Connor was like, uh, you guys want to do a show today or so? | ||
Yes, everyone in the room seemed to have eaten pasta over the weekend. | ||
So there we are. | ||
Uh, this show today is a little bit of everything because there is a lot going on and it's going to just kind of get wackier and weirder for the remaining 40 or so days that we have before the election. | ||
Oh, and by the way, it's not going to calm down after the election either, regardless of who ends up winning. | ||
But a couple good things did happen over the last couple of days and then some weird, you know, BLM, Hamas type stuff in some of our blue cities. | ||
But the highlight, I would say, over the last couple of days is that Jordan Peterson, has officially endorsed Donald Trump. | ||
Now, he's Canadian, so he will not be voting in this election, but he made the case to Piers Morgan, and I think it furthers that sort of wide tent movement that I have been talking about, and a lot of it not only is because there's a track record to look at with Trump, which, as you guys know, especially pre-COVID, was quite good, but now people are seeing more and more of Kamala. | ||
Yeah, they're kinda hiding her, but when they do throw her out, particularly in this Oprah Winfrey interview that she did a couple days ago, It is just an abject disaster. | ||
So let's just dive right in. | ||
Jordan Peterson on Piers Morgan Show talking about why he doesn't trust Harris and why he would, if he could, vote for a certain orange man. | ||
If you were psychoanalyzing Trump and Kamala Harris, what would you conclude right now based on everything you've | ||
unidentified
|
seen and heard? | |
Well, if I could vote in the American election, I would vote for Trump. | ||
And I don't trust Harris. | ||
Now, do I trust Trump? | ||
Well, he was president for four years. | ||
Like, look, the best predictor of someone's future behavior is their past behavior. | ||
If you're trying to hire someone and you have documented history of their efforts in precisely the domain that you're attempting to hire for, and the evidence is clear and valid, you use that in favor of all other predictive What would you say? | ||
Predictive markers. | ||
So I think it's more appropriate for me as a clinician who knows the psychometric literature to point out that independent of Trump's personality, which tends, by the way, to be a relatively weak predictor of behavior, it's intelligence that's the best predictor and then personality. | ||
We have a documented track record. | ||
We're gonna show you more of that in just a second. | ||
But just that, 60 seconds of Jordan Peterson explaining who he would vote for and why, is more enlightening than anything you will get on cable news literally this entire week, if not this entire year. | ||
This line, that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, that's what I wanna focus on for a minute. | ||
Because as I said before, the first part of Trump's presidency, those first two years, the economy was chugging along. | ||
You guys know all this stuff. | ||
The lowest all-time black and Hispanic unemployment. | ||
The Abraham Accords. | ||
We had peace largely in the Middle East, which is, I thought, something that basically everybody wanted. | ||
He was redoing all of our crazy international alliances and making people pay to get the protection of the United States and everything else. | ||
Now, there was an entire operation designed to take him out. | ||
You might argue that COVID came around because they started realizing, oh man, Trump's doing a hell of a job here. | ||
You might make that argument and there might be Some validity to it. | ||
And you can also, by the way, make the argument that when COVID, for whatever, however COVID got here, you might argue that he was rolled by the deep state, that he did not know what to do. | ||
Look, he largely left things to the states, not always. | ||
I don't want to start getting into a big COVID thing right now, but you could make an argument that he didn't do a great job related to that. | ||
Let's say warp speed, blah, blah, blah. | ||
These are all things that his own base doesn't like, but are still supporting him about. | ||
But that's not really what this is about, right? | ||
The question really would be at this point is, if past behavior dictates future behavior, well, he had a pretty good track record pre-COVID, and then the real question would be, did he learn from his mistakes? | ||
Did he learn just how deep that swamp was? | ||
Did he learn some of the tricks and the type of people that you have to have around you to insulate yourself from those tricks and everything else? | ||
I think what Jordan Peterson is doing right there, it's interesting, he didn't even really bring up policy specifically and he only vaguely talked about personality for a second. | ||
He's just basically saying, hey, we had this guy as president and it was basically pretty good. | ||
We have no freaking idea. | ||
I think the quote was, I don't trust her, right? | ||
I don't trust Kamala. | ||
And there's no reason to trust her. | ||
She has taken the opposite position on quite literally every single issue. | ||
She could the current president of the United States and probably should be in jail for that. | ||
Eventually, if there's any justice in the universe, like what did they do to get rid of Joe Biden? | ||
We don't even talk about that anymore. | ||
But then Jordan got to the thing that I have been screaming about for years, and you know what it is. | ||
It's that wide tent movement. | ||
It is that thing that is bringing so many of us together under an umbrella of freedom and that, you know, America's kind of good and all that stuff. | ||
And it has people that used to think they were enemies suddenly all coming together. | ||
Go. | ||
So I would say with regards to Trump, well we know what a Trump presidency would be like, | ||
but there's something else to consider too, because you might say well, | ||
you know, that was round one and now it's round two and Trump is older, and although I think he's | ||
actually modified his behavior to some degree as a consequence of being beat up so thoroughly over | ||
the last five years. | ||
And although he's a bit defensive, he's also less blustery and more human, which I think is a big plus. | ||
But for me, the other thing that I've seen really switch that's really been positive for me is that Trump has pulled a lot of hyper powerful people together around him. | ||
Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Robert F. Kennedy, most of whom would have been Democrats in anything approximating a sane and normal world. | ||
And so, you see, my sense is that somebody whose narcissistic impulses are out of control, because Trump is a flamboyant and dominating character who likes the public light. | ||
So you think, well, you know, does he tilt too far in the narcissistic direction? | ||
It's like, well, why would he share the spotlight with the rest of this crew? | ||
And the other thing that we should consider is that, look, man, I would vote for Trump if for no other reason than Musk himself has already agreed to head something like a Department of Governmental Efficiency in the US. | ||
It's like, okay! | ||
I could probably end the show. | ||
I could end my career right now. | ||
Like, that is basically what I've been calling for. | ||
Now, I don't know if it's gonna work. | ||
I don't know what's gonna happen on election day or election week, as the thing doesn't get decided that night, which they're already hinting in the New York Times. | ||
But the thing that Jordan is talking about, This thing where these people who largely would have been Democrats, Tulsi literally was a Democrat Congresswoman. | ||
Somebody like RFK was a Democrat when he started running for president basically a year ago. | ||
Elon only voting for Democrats his whole life until this last year. | ||
And now you've got Vivek in the mix and you've got this wide 10 of people and that Trump might be able, if you think he got rolled by the deep state or whatever last time, might be able to now, as Jordan points out, Elon's gonna come in and help with efficiency, government efficiency. | ||
RFK could come in and reform some of the agencies. | ||
Now you might, like, this is the chance! | ||
This is the chance to put together an all-star team of serious people who love this country, who are willing to put their differences aside and fix the freakin' thing. | ||
Take a look at this image that popped up on the Twitter machine. | ||
This was an ad from the Republican Party of Arizona, but I thought it was quite good. | ||
Team Unity, Trump Vance 2024. | ||
And there you see, you see Tulsi, you see JD, obviously Trump, RFK, Elon, and Vivek. | ||
And it's like these people, only the psycho progressive lunatics could have forced all of these people onto the same side of things. | ||
That's the side I'm on, and I think that's the side that most Americans are on. | ||
Maybe most Americans don't realize it fully or don't really see the problems as they are because there is a machine that is out there to completely confuse them and conflate the issues and everything else. | ||
Speaking of that machine, here's a guy, Stephen Colbert, who gives the machine exactly what it wants all the time, and he has a woman who works over at the televised mental institution known as MSNBC, who looks like a pencil. | ||
And listen to the difference between the coalition I just laid out there versus the machines coalition. | ||
unidentified
|
Rachel Maddow, one thing that we've seen this year, again, that is also unprecedented as far as I know, is the enormous support publicly that Harris has gotten from Republicans. | |
Yeah. | ||
In previous administrations. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's heartening. | ||
And it's unusual, too. | ||
I mean, to have... And that's a sign of desperation, actually. | ||
Because we are a partisan country. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And people do pick their own teams, and people tend not to leave their teams. | ||
But people are endorsing her in droves who used to be members of previous Republican cabinets. | ||
And it has to be like, no other choice but to do this. | ||
Well, we've got lots of Republicans for Harris. | ||
That's a thing, Republicans for Harris. | ||
You are seeing sort of not your typical endorsements. | ||
unidentified
|
You're seeing what I think is a very, very broad Harris coalition. | |
I mean, a coalition that includes Like, Dick Cheney and AOC is a big coalition. | ||
Like, most Americans see themselves somewhere between AOC and Dick Cheney. | ||
Right. | ||
And if you are between AOC and Dick Cheney on the number line, you're in the Harris God, you really can see their tricks. | ||
They are a magician who has just given us all of their tricks. | ||
And if you want to know how they do the tricks, you can just look. | ||
So everything's framed that it's always good. | ||
Everything that's happening on the Democrat side is always good. | ||
But why would it be good that Dick Cheney, who you people, not me, | ||
you people have run around calling, you know, he was Darth Vader, right? | ||
That was the big thing. | ||
He was the Darth Vader of the, uh, because he had heart problems and whatever else during the Bush administration. | ||
He was the architect of the Iraq war. | ||
He was as evil as George W. Bush, if not more evil, because he was sort of the intelligence behind everything and Halliburton and all that stuff. | ||
So he's the most evil character that you can come up with for the Republicans, basically pre-Trump. | ||
Dick Cheney was that avatar of the evil Republican, and now he's voting for your guy, so he's suddenly a good guy. | ||
He's suddenly a good guy. | ||
Well, whatever team has Dick Cheney and AOC on it, that is not the good guy team, as far as I'm concerned. | ||
But you can see the way they do the trick. | ||
All that is, is showing that there is something common between AOC and Dick Cheney, which is that they fear they're going to lose power. | ||
That they, in some respects, AOC, it's very obvious how AOC is now just like a tool for the elite, right? | ||
Because everything is always giving the government more power. | ||
And what is a guy like Dick Cheney? | ||
There's nothing there other than he wants to keep whatever his government contracts are and everything else, so you go to the centers of power. | ||
Trump represents the other thing. | ||
Trump represents the true Movement of the people. | ||
You want to get up there, Maddow, you want to get up there and do something honest? | ||
I mean, I know that's not why the show is there and it's not why you have a job, but if you wanted to do something honest, you might get up there and say, boy, you know, it's sort of interesting that Tulsi Gabbard and Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk and blah blah blah are all on the same side. | ||
Maybe we should think about how these people all came together. | ||
Could that be because we're the baddies? | ||
Alas, the woman does not have a mirror, which is why her lips are the same color as her skin. | ||
Let's talk about TWC Contagion Kit, and then I'll be back on the other side. | ||
America, listen up! | ||
The world's getting more unpredictable by the day. | ||
Political insanity, rumors of civil war, an unstable stock market, and now the looming threat of a new global health emergency. | ||
Did you know there's a bird flu summit coming this October? | ||
It's eerily reminiscent of event 201 that foreshadowed the COVID pandemic. | ||
And get this, the first topic on the agenda is mass fatality management planning. | ||
If that doesn't send chills down your spine, I don't know what would. | ||
But here's the good news. | ||
You don't have to be scared if you're prepared. | ||
The Wellness Company created the Medical Emergency Kit and every home in America should have at least one of these. | ||
They're packed with life-saving meds like Ivermectin, Amoxicillin, and even a Z-Pak. | ||
And it's all backed by experts like Dr. Peter McCullough. | ||
Imagine this. | ||
No more frantic searches for a doctor. | ||
No more emergency waiting rooms. | ||
Just a few clicks and this kit is delivered right to your front door. | ||
In times like these, having the medical emergency kit is not just a luxury, it's a necessity. | ||
Protect your family by preparing now. | ||
Head over to twc.health slash rubin and use code rubin to save 45 bucks. | ||
Don't wait until it's too late. | ||
Act now, take control, and ensure you're protected against whatever comes next. | ||
That's twc.health slash rubin. | ||
Use code rubin to save 45 bucks. | ||
Free shipping! | ||
And now, back to me. | ||
Okay, so you guys see there's the wide tent Trump thing. | ||
There's a, I would say, what they want to sell you as a wide tent Kamala thing, even though they're telling you, oh, we hated these people. | ||
They were freaking evil, but now they're with us. | ||
So somehow that's good. | ||
Okay, fine. | ||
But it's not just that Trump has moderated some of his stuff, as Jordan pointed out, right? | ||
He's controlling some of the language. | ||
It seems like he's learned from some of his mistakes and everything else. | ||
That's not just the thing that's bringing these people together. | ||
It is that the Democrats were running a man with dementia while pretending he didn't have dementia, and then when they felt that he wasn't going to win, they brought in someone that nobody liked, nobody supported, and then they've just created her. | ||
Like, give the machine credit. | ||
It just created this Kamala thing. | ||
She has no support. | ||
She has no beliefs. | ||
As I always say, she's the perfect avatar for what a Democrat is these days. | ||
Now, if everyone watching at home, if you have glue, do you have Elmer's glue with you or a Sharpie? | ||
Because what I might, well, I don't want to recommend you do this, but to listen, you're about to hear about 60 seconds of Kamala. | ||
She was on Oprah a couple of days ago, and you really might want to sniff some glue or a Sharpie for this. | ||
Don't do that. | ||
I'm not really saying it. | ||
It's a joke, but try to make some of this without, sense of some of this without being high. | ||
We love our country. | ||
I love our country. | ||
I know we all do. | ||
That's why everybody's here right now. | ||
We love our country. | ||
We take pride in the privilege of being American. | ||
And this is a moment where we can and must come together as Americans, understanding we have so much more in common than what separates us. | ||
Let's come together With the character that we are so proud of about who we are, which is we are an optimistic people. | ||
It's just meaningless. | ||
It's just meaningless. | ||
And the way she speaks with the smile on her face and OK, lady with the crazy eyes. | ||
We love our country. | ||
We all love our country. | ||
That's what she says at the beginning, really, because Aggressives and the New York Times and the entire machine have been telling us that the 1619 project is real and that America is an evil colonialist nation and something about white supremacy and all of that stuff, right? | ||
So I'm not sure to say we all love the country. | ||
I don't think your base, I don't think most of your supporters love the country. | ||
That's by their words, not by my words. | ||
We take great pride in the country. | ||
I don't know about that. | ||
I take incredible pride in this country. | ||
I know that most right-leaning people take pride in this country, which is why they will often have an American flag outside of their house, right? | ||
Like, when is it that you're going to see a Democrat with an American flag? | ||
It's pretty rare. | ||
That's pretty sad, but it's pretty rare. | ||
Why would you take pride in a country that was founded on racism and slavery, that's a white supremacist nation? | ||
I mean, you only have to listen to your people, right? | ||
You don't have to listen to AOC and Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar and the rest of them, right? | ||
Like, that's true. | ||
That's absolutely true. | ||
Also, this thing about coming together, like... | ||
First off, I mean, it's complete nothing. | ||
It's just absolutely nothing when it comes from her because on one hand it's come together and on the other side, oh, I'm running against a fascist Hitler-like guy and his supporters are all white supremacists. | ||
So why would you want to come together with those people? | ||
But I'll even give the other version of that. | ||
I don't particularly want to come together with these people. | ||
I have nothing in common with these people. | ||
And actually the United States was set up so that we'd have 50 independent states | ||
that largely could rule themselves outside of the federal government | ||
so that we wouldn't have to come together with these people if they want their crazy laws | ||
and they want their crime and their drugs and all of the stuff and to brainwash children | ||
and everything else, well, then they can have it. | ||
I don't wanna come together with them. | ||
It's just, it's Pollyannish nonsense. | ||
But let's continue, because she, and you could see even in the audience, they weren't sure what to make of her, and Oprah even wasn't sure what to make of her. | ||
And then listen, watch this. | ||
This is just incredible, because Kamala suddenly loves guns, and she knows she's not really supposed to say this, and that she's lying, and she doesn't know what the audience is, just watch this. | ||
If somebody breaks in my house, they're getting shot. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm sorry. | |
Yes, yes, I hear that, I hear that. | ||
Probably should not have said that. | ||
But my staff will deal with that later. | ||
unidentified
|
(laughing) | |
My staff. | ||
First off, if someone comes into my house, you are getting shot and I actually mean it | ||
and I'm saying it. | ||
And that's what most Americans should mean, right? | ||
That is the truth. | ||
You have the responsibility, you have the duty to protect your family and your property. | ||
I believe in policing, but they can't do everything all the time. | ||
That's why we have the Second Amendment. | ||
We also have it to make sure that an overpowering government doesn't just Take away all of our rights and everything else. | ||
But everything that she says about that, first off, there's a lot of questions as to whether she actually has a gun. | ||
But you can see she says it and the audience, because they're all NPC people, a few of them laugh and then they're like, wait a minute, should I laugh? | ||
And even Oprah like kind of laughs for a second. | ||
And then she's like, oh, can I laugh about that? | ||
But Oprah, God only knows how many security guards, armed security guards Oprah has. | ||
at her house 24 hours a day. | ||
So Oprah will not have to shoot anyone. | ||
Kamala Harris will not have to shoot anyone, but they wanna make sure that you are wary | ||
about having a gun and everything else. | ||
She's just a liar. | ||
Everything she says is a liar. | ||
And then, you know what it is? | ||
It just hit me. | ||
Remember during the first debate when Trump went on that great three minute thing about abortion | ||
and he really laid it out cleanly. | ||
And then he said, you know, I don't know if that's going to help me or hurt me electorally. | ||
To me, it was one of his greatest moments because it was just true. | ||
And then to even admit, I don't know if that's going to help. | ||
I'm just going to tell you what I think. | ||
And then you can either get on board or not. | ||
Kamala just did the complete reverse. | ||
She like kind of said something true for a moment because someone would get shot. | ||
I don't think it would be by her. | ||
And again, it's unclear if she actually has a gun. | ||
She keeps saying it, but someone would get shot if they showed up at her house. | ||
And by the way, they should, right? | ||
Whether she was the president of the United States or a nominee or just a private citizen. | ||
But then her gut reaction, I'll have my people clean that up, basically. | ||
That shows you what she is. | ||
That is the fundamental difference between someone who is what he is, whether you like it or not. | ||
Or somebody who is just, they're just nothing, trying to pretend to be something. | ||
Now, interestingly, to relate this gun situation to some of the events of the last couple of years, you guys all remember the Kyle Rittenhouse situation. | ||
This is just a quick quote from NBC on that. | ||
A Wisconsin jury on Friday, so this is a couple of years back during our Summer of Love, found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty in the fatal shooting of two men during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin last year, capping a trial that touched on issues of gun rights and race. | ||
Now, of course, you all remember this Kyle Rittenhouse young kid gets out there, he's being attacked, he shoots these two people, he was not out there to kill anybody or anything else. | ||
But now, the reason I'm showing you that or reading that quote to you is that Kamala there is saying, oh, someone comes into my house, they're going to get shot. | ||
Well, when Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself from being murdered on the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin, here's what she had to say about his verdict. | ||
unidentified
|
I have questions about the verdict, and the verdict really speaks for itself. | |
As many of you know, I've spent a majority of my career working to make the criminal justice system more equitable, and clearly there's a lot more work to do. | ||
Thanks. | ||
So he gets let off by the jury, but she's not happy about that. | ||
I mean, when you see these people with masks, she's touching the mask. | ||
It was all such fucking horseshit nonsense. | ||
So you get it. | ||
She doesn't believe in anything she says. | ||
She's just saying what she thinks will attain power to her. | ||
But less and less people are buying it, I think. | ||
There is a Republican consultant. | ||
Her name is Whitley Jates over on MSNBC. | ||
And here she is with some interesting thoughts on Kamala. | ||
I can't believe it. | ||
Well, here's something insane from MSNBC. | ||
It does happen now and again. | ||
Interesting thoughts on Kamala talking to Oprah. | ||
And are the people turning against Oprah, perhaps? | ||
Why does Donald Trump lie like that? | ||
I mean, everybody knows. | ||
unidentified
|
Come on. | |
I think that there were times during that interview where it looked like Oprah was trying to figure out where VP Harris was going. | ||
And I think when you're, when we're looking at this circumspectly, when we're talking about battleground states and talking to working Everyday Americans utilizing a billionaire who's not dealing with the cost of inflation, with stagnant wages, with stagnant industries, is really just out of touch. | ||
And I think that's what he really meant to say, is that hiding behind Hollywood, as opposed to really just talking about the policies of your administration, may not be working specifically in battleground states. | ||
That is literally rich, Whitley. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Thank you. | ||
unidentified
|
It's wealthy. | |
It's wealthy. | ||
It's a rich man. | ||
Come on. | ||
Well, I definitely don't need a history lesson on Oprah, who's black history, because I'm very familiar with all that she has done. | ||
But what I'm saying is when you're talking to people, specifically in a state where the average salary is $49,000, bringing a billionaire up on stage is going to present out of touch, specifically for working class Americans. | ||
And let me explain why. | ||
It's because the issues that they're talking about does not impact her the same, as opposed to having working class people maybe engaging with her, maybe a town hall forum. | ||
She has been utilizing celebrities to promote her campaign as opposed to utilizing working class people or utilizing them to speak to working class people. | ||
And there is a disconnect. | ||
All right, there's a couple of funny things there highlighted by the fact that when the white woman tried to chime in about black history, she's like, I don't need to know about that. | ||
Shut up, you white bitch. | ||
Like that was very clear. | ||
Like, don't you talk about that. | ||
And then because these people all deal, even the sane ones that show up on MSNBC, because they all deal in identity politics. | ||
Oh yes. | ||
I am white and I am a bitch and I'm just gonna sit there and nod. | ||
That's one thing but really the reason I was showing you that was I think she's right actually about the Oprah situation. | ||
Congratulations Kamala you can get up there and talk with a billionaire who can afford to have her guns and who can afford to survive and thrive even if the economy tanks And all of the rest of it. | ||
You know, we should have. | ||
I said to Phoenix while we were playing that, there are those old clips. | ||
We'll play one for you this week. | ||
We'll find some context for it. | ||
There are those old clips of the eighties, around 85, 86, where Trump used to go on Oprah's show all the time. | ||
And she would be encouraging him to run for president. | ||
And it's like, there she is, Oprah, Kamala comes up and she wants to hug her and the smile and it's all so fake and fraudulent. | ||
It's a show and you've got to understand that. | ||
But there is a huge, what this all really boils down to really, is that there is just a massive and growing disconnect. | ||
between the media and the average American. | ||
So this is just great. | ||
This really is the clip of the show. | ||
CNN sent out a reporter to a Trump boat flotilla. | ||
You know, these people that get on their boat and they drink beer and they have American flags | ||
and Trump flags and a whole bunch more, and they have fun and they love America. | ||
And they probably have a... | ||
The economy. | ||
Getting the interest rates down. | ||
Getting it to where we can afford to live in America. | ||
be great and all that. | ||
And they send out this tool of a reporter to interview one of these guys. | ||
And this is just, enjoy. | ||
unidentified
|
What's your most important issue? | |
The economy, getting the interest rates down, getting it to what we can afford to live in America. | ||
Right now it's too expensive. | ||
Okay, now let me maybe ask a slightly impolite question. | ||
But, you know, if you can afford a boat, you're not hurting so bad, right? | ||
Because a boat costs a lot of money, and it's a lot of upkeep. | ||
Listen, nobody gave me shit. | ||
I earned everything that I've got. | ||
I'm a retired military, retired power plant, and I am successful and retired with boats, jet skis, because I did it right. | ||
And everybody has that chance. | ||
Whether they choose or not, that's up to them. | ||
I would never try to take anything away from you in that way. | ||
But what I'm asking is, groceries are probably a smaller part of your budget than say, you know, someone who's like a little worse off. | ||
I think it's interesting that people who are a little bit more comfortable are still so concerned about the economy. | ||
Do you see what I'm saying? | ||
Because I want my money to go further. | ||
I want inflation to go down. | ||
I want interest rates to go back down. | ||
I want all that. | ||
But that covers everybody in the economy. | ||
Not just me, not just the poor, not just the rich. | ||
It covers everybody. | ||
Now something I've heard from some people, tell me if this applies to you, is like they're worried their kids aren't able to afford a house or a car. | ||
I train my kids and taught my kids properly. | ||
They have great educations and they're both successful in their careers. | ||
Actually, they're doing better than me. | ||
I don't know who that guy is, but that guy should be a rising political star in America. | ||
That girl is an utter embarrassment. | ||
That was the most pathetic, like you just, I mean, she sounds like an idiot and everything she said was completely idiotic and moronic and trying to make people feel guilty over success, which is what they want. | ||
And yes, you could be doing well and still want other people to be doing well. | ||
You could be doing well and still not want them to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which actually does cause, End up making it so that people can spend less because the dollar is worth less, and then they have to, sorry, spend more to buy groceries and everything else. | ||
Like, just so absolute. | ||
Where are they getting these people? | ||
Like, where are they getting these people? | ||
I do not know, but because all of their ideas are bad, they still largely have to hide Kamala or put her in these very, very controlled environments. | ||
Like Oprah. | ||
We'll have more on that in just a second, but let me tell you about PDS debt. | ||

And now back to me. | ||
All right, so what they have to do somehow, as they see this alliance coming together that is pro-Trump, and as their ideas are horrible, and the more they put Kamala out there, the more that people are just like, what? | ||
What did she say? | ||
What's going on here? | ||
What they have to do is control all the messaging around her, right? | ||
That has become very, very clear, and that's why she's not really doing interviews. | ||
Jake Tapper, who's a Democrat activist at CNN, every now and again asks a decent question so that it doesn't become too obvious that he's a Democrat activist. | ||
He had Gretchen Whitmer on, she is an absolutely horrible human being, there's no other way to describe it, who literally stopped people in Michigan from planting food, vegetables, outside of their house during COVID. | ||
She was still getting her Botox and having her husband's birthday party on the boat during all that. | ||
But Tapper asked her why Kamala isn't doing more interviews and refuses to do unscripted things. | ||
Go. | ||
unidentified
|
Only a few weeks left until this is all over. | |
We've heard other Democrats in your position suggesting that they want to see more from Vice President Harris and Governor Walz in terms of, not necessarily speeches in controlled environments, but town halls with voters, more interviews, mixing it up, press conferences. | ||
unidentified
|
We're only 44 days to the election. | |
Do you agree? | ||
Would you like to see more of that? | ||
You know, I have incredible confidence in both the Vice President and Governor Walz. | ||
They have shown that they are happy warriors. | ||
They are able to answer tough questions and they are eager to... | ||
Meaningless, just they're happy warriors. | ||
Like, she's such a freaking fraud who has done so much damage to that state. | ||
It's just absolutely incredible. | ||
Like, could they get in front of people? | ||
Could it be a little looser? | ||
Could they maybe do a town hall? | ||
They're happy warriors. | ||
Like, it's the perfect Democrat answer to everything. | ||
Phoenix, scroll for me here, because we have some info actually on the amount of interviews that they've done. | ||
Check this out. | ||
Axios reports the total number of Trump-Vance interviews versus Harris-Walls. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance has done, these are mainstream media interviews, J.D. | ||
Vance has done 59 since Harris and Walls became a team. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance has done 59, Trump 14, Walls has done four, and Harris has done Three. | ||
Okay. | ||
And they're saying that Axios didn't include some partisan leading commentators. | ||
So this is just sort of mainstream media stuff, not necessarily podcasts and radio interviews. | ||
So that just kind of tells you what you need to know, right? | ||
Donald Trump is out there going on all of these podcasts. | ||
We're working on getting them on before the election. | ||
He's doing all of these things, he's showing up with wrestlers and MMA guys and video gamers and everything else, and he's telling people what he thinks about things off the cuff, and they have her hyper-controlled. | ||
And the system itself, not only are they running cover for her by giving her questions in advance and everything else, but then we have debates that are not really debates because they are basically royal rumbles with everybody versus Trump. | ||
Here's Dana Bash who of course was the moderator alongside Jake Tapper for that first debate where they got rid of Joe Biden. | ||
But here she is criticizing ABC which is sort of funny. | ||
We'll see if it really makes sense on the other side. | ||
Take a look. | ||
unidentified
|
We decided just to be traditional. | |
And like you said, you can make an argument for an hour on either side of that. | ||
And ABC made a different choice. | ||
They decided that clearly, and I was in their meetings and I haven't talked to them since, but it seems as an observer that they made a decision that Donald Trump is a unique character in American politics, and he uniquely lies. And | ||
that even though Kamala Harris was clearly prepared to call him out on that, they thought that | ||
it was their job to do it as well. | ||
And like I said, you can make an argument for that also. | ||
But but I do it. Journalistically, it's keeping an even hand as much as you can. Yes. | ||
Understanding that you're not dealing with two of the same individuals who don't approach the truth in the same way is important, but very tricky. | ||
It's so interesting and you know I keep saying about Dana Bash that I'm sort of amazed by her because most of them can fake that they're lying and there's something about her where it's just so like I know she doesn't believe anything she's saying. | ||
It's just so obvious right so she's kind of throwing ABC under the bus by saying oh that you know they did that was their decision to do it but at the same time she's kind of saying but Trump is a uniquely evil person so you kind of have to do that stuff. | ||
We have video of Dana, not fact-checking Kamala when she was interviewing her straight up talking about fracking. | ||
unidentified
|
Get some clarity on where you stand on some key policy issues. | |
Energy is a big one. | ||
When you were in Congress, you supported the Green New Deal. | ||
And in 2019, you said, quote, there is no question I'm in favor of banning fracking. | ||
Fracking, as you know, is a pretty big issue, particularly in your must-win state of Pennsylvania. | ||
Do you still want to ban fracking? | ||
No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020. | ||
That I would not ban fracking. | ||
As vice president, I did not ban fracking. | ||
As president, I will not ban fracking. | ||
Connor, help me here for a second. | ||
Do we have a video of Kamala Harris on a late night show designed to launder the lies for the Democrats saying that she would ban fracking? | ||
Do we have such a video? | ||
Can you play it now? | ||
That's why I am committed to passing a Green New Deal, creating clean jobs, and finally putting an end to fracking once and for all. | ||
unidentified
|
Mm-mm-mm. | |
Mama La Kamla just don't give a frack. | ||
Ugh, and even he's gross. | ||
They're all gross. | ||
So you get it, guys. | ||
They lie. | ||
Dana, you could have followed up. | ||
That wasn't a debate. | ||
You could have followed up and said, but there's so much evidence of you saying you would, but you didn't do that because you're not really a journalist. | ||
So what do they have, guys? | ||
They have word salad. | ||
They have lies. | ||
They have dodging interviews. | ||
They have a media that runs cover for them. | ||
But what are they actually running on? | ||
Well, we'll talk about that. | ||

The machine lies for them, they lie, they flip on every issue, and then really, what else can they do? | ||
What is the one other thing? | ||
You know it, you know it. | ||
Yes, they can fearmonger. | ||
That is their greatest weapon, because as people wake up, Which leads you to the alliance that we talked about at the top of the show, this RFK, Tulsi, Vivek, all this this thing that's happening, this Elon Jordan thing. | ||
What happens is a lot of people get real close to getting there and then they just bring up abortion again or something else. | ||
They do something else to Project 2025. | ||
They're just trying to scare the hell out of you again. | ||
They are really, really good at it. | ||
And they can always trot out old people to ramp up the fear. | ||
Hillary Clinton, who has written her fourth memoir. | ||
Think how insane that is. | ||
Four memoirs from this woman. | ||
She's making the rounds on The View, and here she is getting everything wrong. | ||
Every single thing she says right now, you're about to watch the clip, just kind of put a no in front of it, or a reverse, or a mirror, that whole thing, and then she would have had something true, but take a look. | ||
unidentified
|
It's not just between two people. | |
It's between two very different ideas about what our country should be. | ||
And it's between, you know, democracy and autocracy. | ||
It's between freedom and oppression. | ||
It's between someone who wants to bring us together. | ||
Kamala Harris wants to be the president for everybody. | ||
And that includes people who don't vote for her. | ||
Because she knows if we don't start bringing our country together, we are vulnerable not only internally to division, but externally to bad actors. | ||
You know, in Russia, in Iran, in China, and elsewhere, who want to keep dividing us and bring us down. | ||
unidentified
|
So this is an election that is going to determine the future of America. | |
Yeah, again, lady, you're the one who called Donald Trump an illegitimate president, fascism, Nazi, white supremacy. | ||
It's all dribble. | ||
Everything she just said was completely reverse. | ||
And I do want to hit this point again about unity or bringing us together. | ||
That would be nice. | ||
It would be nice if America had sort of, if most Americans had a roughly approximate set of views that were kind of similar and that we could all live our own lives. | ||
But they have done something very dangerous where said that the fundamental structure of this country, the founding and the structure of this country is evil. | ||
And now they have a base that hates the country. | ||
I don't want to come together with that. | ||
That's not that I want the United States to fall apart. | ||
Of course I don't. | ||
I love this country. | ||
Most of you watching this, I would venture all of you watching this, except the few haters that are watching this to slightly misquote me, that you love this country, right? | ||
But they're telling us we should have unity on one hand, and then the next day they'll tell us we're fascists. | ||
That is a problem. | ||
And then, of course, what do they do? | ||
They lie about everything. | ||
Q, do you have a video of a weird guy? | ||
Seems a little gay from Minnesota. | ||
You got something? | ||
Okay. | ||
unidentified
|
They keep talking about how pro-family they are. | |
You know what? | ||
spend a little less time trying to ban books in our schools and try and ban assault weapons in our schools. | ||
That might be a solution. | ||
[Applause] | ||
I really can't imagine being in the mind of someone that applauds during that. | ||
First off, assault weapons are banned in our schools. | ||
There's no school in America where you can walk in with an assault weapon. | ||
Now, you might be able to illegally do it, but we have laws that stop people from doing it, and sometimes those laws are broken. | ||
That's how crime works. | ||
God, we're all getting dumber. | ||
We're really all getting dumber. | ||
That's how crime works. | ||
Good night, everybody. | ||
That's one thing. | ||
And also, ban books. | ||
All right, Tim Walz, explain to me why you want third graders to learn how to give blowjobs. | ||
I would like someone to explain why Tim Walz would like children to learn that. | ||
Of course you are going to have certain books that are appropriate for certain ages. | ||
You wouldn't give a second grader Mein Kampf. | ||
Although you people probably would. | ||
It wouldn't be a great idea. | ||
That would be my opinion. | ||
Libraries in schools are not the Jedi archives in some massive room with some totality of human knowledge, right? | ||
They have a certain amount of rooms. | ||
They got like, you know, there's a couple walls and they put books there. | ||
Someone has to decide what books go there. | ||
Kids learning how to do that stuff is probably not what should be there. | ||
But these idiots are running on book bans and don't say gay gay. | ||
Here I am in Florida. | ||
I just did it again. | ||
Nothing! | ||
Nothing! | ||
So what they are trying to do intentionally, and this is the part, they are trying to confuse equal rights, which everyone in America has. | ||
There is nobody by the skin color or their gender or sexuality that does not have equal rights, right? | ||
We have individual rights in this country. | ||
We have not always done it perfectly, but right now, as it stands, in 2024 America, gays have equal rights, and blacks have equal rights, and trans people have equal rights, and everything else. | ||
But they're trying to confuse equal rights with the cult of woke, right? | ||
And what do they do? | ||
They want to infect young people. | ||
And that's why young people tend to be more leftist, because there is an entire educational system and cultural system designed to break their brains. | ||
And if you don't think that's true, let's take this video from Good Morning America. | ||
People think all this woke shit just, like, appeared in the last two years. | ||
This is 2018 on Good Morning America. | ||
and for some reason Tim Walz apparently wants more of this type of thing happening in libraries. | ||
unidentified
|
[Music] | |
How are you? | ||
How you doing? | ||
Thanks for being here! | ||
I love that you love root beer, caffeine free. | ||
I can get on board with that. | ||
My mom doesn't like me drinking caffeine. | ||
Does it make you hyper? | ||
Yeah, me too. | ||
They don't like when I drink caffeine either. | ||
But, Jasmine, you're one of the youngest and first drag queen slash kids. | ||
Yeah, guys, we're the ones who are weird. | ||
Remember that meme? | ||
We're all weird? | ||
First off, that's Sarah Haynes, who now is on The View, so again, you can see how they launder the lies and the same characters end up in all of these places. | ||
The reason I'm showing you that is that this is what they are pushing. | ||
It is. | ||
So when he's screaming about Don't Ban Books, these are the same people who want Drag Queen Story Hour. | ||
Look, I don't have a problem. | ||
You want to grow up and dress however you want, marry whoever you want, do whatever the high hell you want to do in your home. | ||
Obviously, I am very libertarian in that regard. | ||
And some people might judge me. | ||
And that's okay, we are allowed to judge each other. | ||
But to do that, why would you have this kid, it's a boy dressed as a girl, like dancing in a sexual way with a bunch of adults applauding. | ||
Does anyone think that that's a little bizarre? | ||
But it's not bizarre to them. | ||
This is a good one. | ||
I don't even know how to tee up this video. | ||
Is there anything I need to say to this? | ||
There's nothing I need to say. | ||
I say just play the video. | ||
unidentified
|
What is something weird about conservatives? | |
There is a, almost a cultish vibe, I feel. | ||
The way they operate within themselves, they refuse to listen to outside people, | ||
you know, they're refusing to learn, essentially. | ||
I think that is a large part of it. | ||
That creature is going to be president one day. | ||
I hope you're happy. | ||
Yes, we're the weird ones. | ||
I know, blah, blah, blah. | ||
Now why am I showing you all that? | ||
Because what is happening is as they are breaking young people's brains and telling people that America is evil and boys are girls and all of these things, That now society is getting everything backwards. | ||
There are so many things that are now happening. | ||
We are allowing crimes in streets. | ||
You can run around and put a mask on and threaten to kill people. | ||
We are just allowing all of this horrible stuff. | ||
So I want to jump back to a video. | ||
This is from about four months ago. | ||
I was on Guy Benson's podcast in New York City. | ||
And this was during some of the Hamas riots, which are starting up again. | ||
So you'll see why we're showing this, but let's just jump back about four months right now. | ||
unidentified
|
Pride Parade time, and the Pride Parade got interrupted and stopped by the Palestine Hamas people. | |
Who are you rooting for here, David? | ||
Where do the queers for Palestine come down on this? | ||
Well, first off, Palestine for queers is very different than queers for Palestine, but it's ironic that intersectionality basically got stopped at an intersection. | ||
That's pretty much what happened here. | ||
unidentified
|
If the woke It might be, because it's the most perfect example of the ludicrousness of intersectionality in the first place. | |
The idea that you could take these groups that have absolutely nothing in common, I mean truly, Islamists who want to throw gays off roofs and gays who would prefer not to be thrown off roofs. | ||
The idea that you could combine them into one transformer that was somehow bigger and stronger and more powerful is completely absurd. | ||
So this is, it really is the perfect one. | ||
And I think we just, we must encourage them and have at it guys. | ||
Let's go. | ||
Like, some of them are leaving the Pride Parade to join the Palestinian protests. | ||
unidentified
|
Like, see, we're with you. | |
But then they're chanting, like, no pride in genocide. | ||
What is that supposed to mean? | ||
Guy, I'm going to work a little blue for a Monday, but you will end up on your knees either way. | ||
unidentified
|
Uh-oh. | |
Uh-oh. | ||
They don't like that sort of thing on terrestrial radio, but I said it and here I am. | ||
The reason I'm showing you that clip is something very disturbing has happened now in New York City, because for anyone that's been paying attention for the last year, basically since October 7th, these Hamas rallies, they basically are BLM en masse, right? | ||
It's the same people. | ||
It's the same funding. | ||
They've changed the outfit. | ||
They've changed the slogans. | ||
But it's here to just bring mayhem and and wreck our cities and destroy our social fabric and all of those things. | ||
But something happened in New York over the last couple days that is now combined sort of in a more obvious way the BLM portion and the Hamas portion. | ||
So check out this from the New York Post. | ||
Dramatic body cam footage shows cops repeatedly warning suspect to drop the knife before subway friendly fire shooting. | ||
So this guy He had a knife on him. | ||
Cops were repeatedly asking him, this is obviously in New York City on the subway, they were asking him to put the knife down. | ||
He did not. | ||
He got shot. | ||
So now what has happened as per what I was talking about four months ago with Guy, this intersectional group of people. | ||
So now you have the BLM people and the queers for Palestine and the true Hamas people and Islamists and they've all come together to just wreck havoc on New York City. | ||
So because of this shooting, They are now joining, I mean, it's the same group anyway, but now they have an extra bit of fuel because now it's about the unjust shooting of the guy with the knife on the subway, which you shouldn't have a knife on a subway, and the Hamas people. | ||
So here's this weekend in New York City. | ||
unidentified
|
(crowd cheering) | |
(band playing) | ||
(crowd cheering) | ||
All over the floor, ladies! | ||
All over the floor, ladies! | ||
(crowd cheering) | ||
(crowd cheering) | ||
Like, look at these people. | ||
Look at these people. | ||
If you go back to the video later, you rewind it, the guy, you know, | ||
there's first off, they get right in the cop's face 'cause they wanna get as close as they can | ||
so they can instigate something, right? | ||
So that's one part of it. | ||
But imagine if you were a police officer in New York City and I have unbelievable sympathy for these guys. | ||
They have been completely abandoned by the mayor. | ||
They've been abandoned by any... | ||
They've been abandoned by their own people in essence, right? | ||
So you have these people who are not really qualified. | ||
They don't know what to do. | ||
They're not allowed to do anything. | ||
They're afraid of being called racist. | ||
And then you have, imagine if you're a police officer, right? | ||
And thousands of people rush into a subway, right? | ||
And I'm pretty sure some of those people are going to jump the turnstile, but we're not going to get them on that. | ||
And imagine a guy who literally you can only see his eyes and he's got a bag on, could be a suicide belt, like that's coming next. | ||
Obviously, that's one of the few things that the Palestinians have actually invented. | ||
What are you going to do? | ||
What are you going to do? | ||
Imagine if you're a family. | ||
You're a family and you just went to go see... What's on Broadway these days? | ||
Lion King? | ||
Is it still on Broadway? | ||
Jersey Boys? | ||
Is Jersey Boys still on Broadway? | ||
You just want to go to Jersey Boys with the fam and then you get out there And there's just all of these people calling for jihad or saying that cops are pigs and everything else. | ||
A functional society cannot operate much longer if we are going to allow this. | ||
And now I'm going to show you one that is even worse than that. | ||
That's just a general mob of haters dressed like jihadists and, you know, whatever, taking over subway stations. | ||
Here's a group of Hamas people. | ||
They specifically targeted a kosher restaurant in New York City and they are screaming with joy about the American, the American who was killed by Hamas in July. | ||
unidentified
|
take a look. | |
How many kids did you kill today? | ||
All kinds of crazy! | ||
All kinds of crazy! | ||
[chanting] | ||
All my relations! | ||
All my relations! | ||
You can't hide! | ||
You can't hide! | ||
You still call me a genocide! | ||
They are genocide in England! | ||
They are genocide in England! | ||

They are genocide in England! | ||
[chanting] | ||
They are genocide in England! | ||
[chanting] | ||
[BLANK_AUDIO] | ||
All right, so guys, this is kind of where we're at. | ||
This is exactly what everything that we've talked about for years on this show as it pertains to wokeism and what has happened to the Democrats and when you import all of these people and you don't stand up for true American values, this is what it would lead to. | ||
They are specifically targeting a Jewish restaurant. | ||
They are celebrating the fact that an American was killed and at some point we can have an interesting conversation about how this pertains to the First Amendment because they get as close as you possibly can get to directly calling for violence. | ||
But there's also a social contract in America that if you do not allow people to have proper commerce, open up a restaurant or a store and let people in, that at some point none of this can hold. | ||
It only works If enough of us believe it is good. | ||
These people don't believe it is good, so they are trying to shred the entire thing. | ||
And guys, it's not just for those of you that have been watching this show for a while or waking up to this stuff over the last couple years. | ||
There have been people even before me that were talking about this stuff. | ||
And credit is always due when someone gets something before you. | ||
I want to throw back to a video. | ||
I think maybe we've shown you this once before on this show. | ||
This is Christopher Hitchens, the brilliant late great Christopher Hitchens, back in 2009, discussing what now we call, you know, the woke, but what this horrific set of ideas, what it was going to do to our societies. | ||
unidentified
|
Give it up or give it to your deadliest enemy and pay for the rope that will choke you. | |
This is very urgent business, ladies and gentlemen, I beseech you. | ||
Resist it while you still can and before the right to complain is taken away from you, which will be the next thing. | ||
You will be told you can't complain because you're Islamophobic. | ||
The term is already being introduced. | ||
...into the culture, as if it was an accusation of race hatred, for example, or bigotry, whereas it's only the objection to the preachings of a very extreme and absolutist religion. | ||
Watch out for these symptoms. | ||
They are not the symptoms of surrender. | ||
Very often ecumenically offered to you by men of God in other robes, Christian and Jewish, and smarmy ecumenical. | ||
These are the ones who hold open the gates for the barbarians. | ||
The barbarians never take a city until someone holds the gates open for them. | ||
And it's your own preachers who will do it for you, and your own multicultural authorities who will do it for you. | ||
Resist it while you can. | ||
You can. | ||
And if you wonder what will happen if you don't, look and see how a cricket team in Middlesex in England had to change its name by force last week because it was called, it had been for years, the Middlesex Crusaders. | ||
Look and see how stories about little pigs can't be taught to children in English schools anymore unless defence be taken by the religion of peace. | ||
Resist it while you can. | ||
So Christopher Hitchens warned his country, he was warning the entire world, but he was warning his country, resist it while you can. | ||
And then when you connect that to the videos that we show you all the time of Democrat politicians, AOC and Allah, And Joe Biden and the rest of them talking about how they're going to censor misinformation. | ||
You can see why these things. | ||
You might go, oh, it doesn't really make sense that these genderqueer weirdos are working together with the Hamas people, except if their goal is complete and total power, then it actually does make perfect sense. | ||
And that really is where we are at. | ||
And don't you think? | ||
That video was from 2009. | ||
That's 15 years ago. | ||
I think an awful lot of British people who maybe at the time were like, oh, you know, that Christopher Hitchens, he's somehow racist or something. | ||
I'm pretty sure a whole bunch of them right now, if they saw what was going on, not if they saw, they know what's going on in their country right now and what open borders has done and how the country has so shifted culturally and everything else. | ||
They might have heeded his warning if they had a time machine. | ||
Their current prime minister is this guy is just a leftist douchebag, Keir Starmer. | ||
And listen to him. | ||
This is just so perfect going from the wise words of Christopher Hitchens 15 years ago. | ||
Here's Keir Starmer talking about Islamophobia now. | ||
unidentified

One of the things that is coming up over and over again is Islamophobia. | |
And, well, you can see the stats, you can see the numbers rising, particularly since October the 7th, although we shouldn't fall into the trap of thinking that before October the 7th this was all heading in the right direction. | ||
It's been far too high for far too long. | ||
Clearly we need to just say over and over again Islamophobia is intolerable. | ||
It can never ever be justified and we have to continue with a zero tolerance approach. | ||
And I think there's more we can do in government. | ||
There's certainly stuff online which I think needs tackling much more robustly than it is at the moment. | ||
What I'm hoping Kerry is your experience as a prosecutor means you'll be thinking about the strategy we can use to make sure we take action against those who break the law. | ||
He's talking to the, that's the mayor of London right there, and he's interested in prosecuting people who might say these mean things. | ||
And yes, if your takeaway somehow is that since October 7th, the main problem is Islamophobia, And these people are ruining their countries. | ||
Now, why am I showing you that? | ||
Because you guys know I always try to frame everything in a positive way. | ||
How do we get out of this? | ||
Well, that's the UK. | ||
They've chosen their direction. | ||
And maybe they'll just be an Islamist country in 20 years. | ||
The numbers are not trending well. | ||
But it's not that way everywhere. | ||
You know what's going on in Italy right now? | ||
We've shown you some videos of Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney, and here she is talking about immigration, and they're doing something about it, actually. | ||

|
And so I want to launch a clear message to those who want to enter Italy illegally. | |
It is not convenient to rely on human traffickers because they ask you for a lot of money, they put you on boats that are often not equipped to make those trips, and in any case, if you enter Italy illegally, you will be detained and repatriated. | ||
Our situation does not allow us to do anything different. | ||
Instead, I want to tell the Italians that we have not changed our mind. | ||
It will take time, a lot of work, patience, determination, but we haven't changed our mind. | ||
We work every day to maintain the commitments we have signed with you in every area, including the restoration of legality. | ||
Sorry guys, we're cutting that a little short. | ||
I thought we had the English translation under it. | ||
We threw in the wrong clip. | ||
But basically what she is saying, I'm gonna give you the exact line, that's the key line on that thing. | ||
From now on, if you enter Italy illegally, you will be immediately deported. | ||
That's it. | ||
They are going to have a zero tolerance policy on it. | ||
So what is one of those bad guys that the Democrats hate and they're always trying to prosecute and make sure he's in a lot of legal trouble? | ||
Think about that. | ||
Elon saw that video and he wrote, bravo, and he retweeted it so more and more people will see that. | ||
So let's connect all of these things. | ||
We have sort of these, well not sort of, we have a bunch of evil forces interesting in silencing people, interesting in shredding our social contract, interesting in making sure that none of us are really sure if our countries and Western values are good. | ||
And then we have this other thing. | ||
We have this other thing on the other side now, this wide 10 thing that's a little bit messy because these people don't all think the exact same thing on abortion and they don't exactly think the same thing on taxes or even foreign policy, but it basically come together because they think America is kind of good and they think Trump's the best way out of that. | ||
That in essence is what Jordan Peterson said at the top of the show. | ||
So this alliance now, Better start working hard. | ||
We got 40 days to work real hard. | ||
So here is JD Vance talking about how he knows that governments are now going after Elon Musk and he's gonna damn well do his best to make sure that they don't get him. | ||
The leader, I forget exactly which official it was within the European Union, but sent Elon this threatening letter that basically said, we're going to arrest you if you platform Donald Trump, who, by the way, is the likely next president of the United States. | ||
So what America should be saying is, oh, if NATO wants us to continue supporting them, and NATO wants us to continue to be a good participant in this military alliance, why don't you respect American values and respect free speech? | ||
Excuse me. | ||
It's insane that we would support a military alliance if that military alliance isn't going to be pro-free speech. | ||
I think we can do both, but we've got to say American power comes with certain strings attached. | ||
One of those is respect free speech, especially in our European allies. | ||
Not radical. That shouldn't even have to be said. | ||
But they are coming for Elon and they are coming for X because they know, there's a reason they're not screaming | ||
about misinformation on Facebook or on YouTube anymore. They know they've got them already. | ||
There's a reason they're always screaming about Elon and it's because they don't have him. | ||
So we damn well better get on the side of the people that are trying to defend our rights | ||
as opposed to taking our rights away. | ||
Because I really believe this, guys. | ||
We will only have this dream team once. | ||
This really is the last chance. | ||
If Kamala comes in and big tech turns on us more and the globalists turn on us, what does it look like in four years? | ||
What does it look like in eight years? | ||
It would almost be impossible to figure out how we could get out of it. | ||
That really seemed, I'm not, do I strike you as, do you watch the show going, Dave Rubin, that crazy alarmist? | ||
I don't think so, but it seems to me this is the chance. | ||
We've got the alliance right here. | ||
We've got the rebel alliance. | ||
They always call themselves the rebels, but we've actually got it right here, but this seemingly is our last chance, and that's exactly why Jordan is supporting Trump. | ||
And the other thing that we should consider is that, look, man, I would vote for Trump if for no other reason than Musk himself has already agreed to head something like a Department of Governmental Efficiency in the U.S. | ||
It's like, okay! | ||
Would be pretty damn good, imagine. | ||
Remember, and this is a full mea culpa by me, one of my concerns about Trump when I was supporting DeSantis in the primary was that Trump was not going to be able to get the right people around him. | ||
Because he does have falling out with people and he fights with people in the name calling and everything else. | ||
Something has shifted. | ||
Something fully has shifted and I admit it and I'm actually thrilled to be wrong about it. | ||
The guy now has Elon and the rest of it. | ||
Okay, you get it already. | ||
I just want to end with one other thing because when I tell you that we may only have one shot at this whole thing, well Donald Trump, or this one last shot at this whole thing, Donald Trump did an interview over the weekend and is basically saying this is his last go-round for all of this. | ||

|
Then, if you're not successful this time, do you see yourself running again in four years? | |
No, I don't. | ||
No, I don't. | ||
I think that that will be that will be it. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't see that at all. | |
I think that hopefully we're going to be successful. | ||
Mr. President, thank you for the interview. | ||
Thank you very much. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Alright, look, he's just a man. | ||
He represents an awful lot. | ||
He's become this thing that everyone is pushing all of their dreams and fears on and everything else. | ||
But at the moment, at the moment, the thing that RFK and Elon and the rest of them are recognizing is to fix this thing, he's the guy that sort of that we all have to kind of line up behind to go through, to go through the middle to save this freaking thing. | ||
And he's not going to do it again after this. | ||
I mean, that would be wise, age-wise, and after everything he's been through and everything else. | ||
Like, go play golf until they basically bomb your golf courses. | ||
Like, that would be fine and well-deserved. | ||
It wouldn't be fine if they bombed the golf courses, you get my point. | ||
So that's kind of where we're at. | ||
So that is a bit of an alarming Monday. | ||
What did, when we all had pasta, I can't end on this alarming thing. | ||
We all had a lot of pasta this weekend. | ||
It was a pasta. | ||
I had one. | ||
Yeah, what did you have, Connor? | ||
You were working right before the show, so you didn't even tell us what you ate. | ||
You had chicken tortilla soup. | ||
I had lasagna, and then we also had a bolognese. | ||
Gotta work it off. | ||
All right, I gotta go. | ||
ReubenReport.Locals.com, post-game show coming up in just a moment, and we'll see you tomorrow. | ||
Ciao. | ||
