| www.larryweaver.com All right, people. It's October 3rd, 2024. | ||
| I hope you know who I am at this point. | ||
| I hope you know what show you're watching. | ||
| And happy 5785 to all the Hebrews out there. | ||
| Yeah, it's the Rubin Report. | ||

|
I'm Dave Rubin. We are live streaming on the Rumble, on the YouTube, on the Locals. | |
| No post-game show today. | ||
| We are pre-taping today's show because it is the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, so I am off with family, probably eating some food. | ||
| Maybe at synagogue. Who knows? | ||
| But we'll make it up to you when we're back in studio next week. | ||
| The theme today is a Rubin Report Locals Community Q&A, a bunch of different things that you guys wanted to ask me, kind of all over the map, and some stuff that we did not get to in this very, very hectic week that we had, including Byron Donalds, who's just a fantastic congressman. | ||
| You know him from the Fort Myers area down here in southwest Florida, just shredding Kamala Harris to a whole bunch of other people that are waking up right now in a lot of Kamala confusion around the border and much more before we get to all of that. | ||
| Let me tell you about the TWC med kit. | ||
| Do you guys remember event 201? | ||
| Just before an election, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, and John Hopkins ran a pandemic simulation in October of 2019. | ||
| Months later, COVID hit. | ||
| Well, here we go again. | ||
| It's October, we're on the verge of a historical election, and now there's a bird flu summit. | ||
| Their playbook is the same, create chaos, bring back lockdowns, and perform medical tyranny. | ||
| Well, wake up, guys. | ||
| This is their October surprise. | ||
| Last time we got caught off guard, but now we have a proven solution | ||
| to protect ourselves and our families. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Picture this, no more frantic searches for a doctor, no more emergency waiting rooms. | ||
| Just a few clicks, and this kit is delivered to your front door. | ||
| In times like these, having your medical emergency kit is a necessity. | ||
| Protect your family by preparing now. | ||
| Head on over to TWC.health slash Rubin and use code Rubin to save $45. | ||
| 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 and use code Rubin to save $45 plus free shipping right now. | ||
| So this is really a fantastic clip. | ||
| This is Congressman Byron Donalds from right here in the free state of Florida. | ||
| He went on the Breakfast Club radio program with Lenny. | ||
| Some people call him Charlemagne the God. | ||
| I call him Lenny. What's his last name? | ||
| Do we know his last name? Lenny the Dude. | ||
| And, well, he just laid out some information as it pertains to Kamala and inflation. | ||
| I would argue we're not really thriving right now. | ||
| Disinflation, which, by the way, was brought to us by Kamala Harris, has really slowed down people from being able to excel. | ||
| By Kamala? Yes. | ||
| Vice President. Oh, Charlamagne. | ||
| It's still a president. Charlamagne, listen, man. | ||
| When Joe Biden wanted to do his American Rescue Plan, Kamala Harris was the tie-breaking vote in the United States Senate. | ||
| She broke the tide and started disinflation that has hurt so many people in our country. | ||
| Everybody listening to your show, who's... | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not true? First of all, it's a tie-breaking vote. | |
| You sure you want to go there? You sure you want to go there? | ||
| Okay, let's go there. You got notes, Angela, right? | ||
| That's fine. I have notes, too. | ||
| The biggest note I have today is that on every question I've added, for every infrastructure project in your community, you should go out and thank Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the Congress that voted for the American Rescue Plan. | ||
| That's what should be happening. | ||
| Larry Summers wrote an op-ed back in 2021. | ||
| Larry Summers was the Treasury Secretary for Bill Clinton. | ||
| He was an economic advisor to Barack Obama. | ||
| He said that the American Rescue Plan that Joe Biden wanted, that Kamala Harris was the tie-breaking vote in the United States Senate, would create a massive inflation that we have not seen in a generation. | ||
| Well, guess what? Larry Summers was correct. | ||
| You know who also was correct, Angela? | ||
| I was. Because I was in the budget committee when they brought the bill. | ||
| And I said in that committee, it's going to cause massive inflation. | ||
| That's what happened. So the problem we have in our economy today is that prices have gone up massively. | ||
| Wages adjusted for inflation is down. | ||
| People's pocketbooks are hurting. | ||
| But we have a presidential election of 40 days. | ||
| And I'm going to ask Envy this question. | ||
| Envy, you're in the housing business as well, I know, because I listen to the show. | ||
| No, I'm just asking them a question. | ||
| Chill, Angela. And I listen to the show. | ||
| I know you do a lot of business in housing. | ||
| Would you hire somebody that broke up stuff in one of your houses to fix the other houses? | ||
| No. Exactly. She broke the economy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not going to do this this morning, Byron. | |
| You're not going to do this, Angela, because I'm bringing facts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hold on now. So now I'm bringing facts and you don't want to do it no more? | |
| Come on now, Angela, that's not right. | ||
| I'm bringing facts. I thought we were going to have a fact-based conversation. | ||
| I want to have a fact-based conversation. | ||
| That line, I'm not going to do this this morning, as if he was being rude, as if he was doing other than calmly laying out how the vote went down, what was in the policy, what Kamala's role was it, and all of that, and then laying it out to her quite directly in terms of what Work apparently she does in housing. | ||
| That is just golf clap spectacular work, Byron Donalds. | ||
| And I love the fact that he did the thing that I'm always telling them to do. | ||
| Go into the pocket and bring out the evidence. | ||
| Remember when Ted Cruz did that as it pertained to election interference on The View. | ||
| And they never know what to do with facts, which is why Lenny was quiet and that chick didn't know what to do. | ||
| She's not gonna do it this morning. | ||
| It, of course, is true. | ||
| Inflation is 2.5% right now. | ||
| They pumped, all they did basically was pump money into the system. | ||
| They printed more money, you guys all know this, that devalues the current value of money, and they put it on the streets mostly for their pet projects and to just keep greasing the machine. | ||
| That's what happens. And interest rates right now are 6.2%. | ||
| That's a little bit less than when they peaked at like 7.5%. | ||
| But you all know if you were trying to get a mortgage right now, it's seriously hard to do when you have a mortgage like we had for so many years under Donald Trump, around two, two and a half, even three percent. | ||
| That's pretty damn sweet. | ||
| And you're paying a little something extra to get the privilege of borrowing money so the bank can make some money and you can get your house. | ||
| And it's pretty freaking awesome. | ||
| And hopefully that goes up in value and then you can buy another. | ||
| It's a beautiful exchange. | ||
| But now they've made it that most people can't borrow money. | ||
| Simply the truth. So just great, great job by Byron Donalds. | ||
| It can be annoying to go on these shows and have to just lay it out with these people, but he just did an absolutely great job. | ||
| Now to contrast going on a show and doing a great job, let's show you Kamala herself going on another show and let's just say not doing a great job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Going from a show to a whole entire company, what is your economic plan moving forward for people who are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling for groceries and rent and homeowners? | |
| So, look, I grew up, so my sister and I were raised by our mother. | ||
| We lived for a long time in an apartment on top of a child care center. | ||
| That child care center was actually owned by a woman who lived two doors down from us, Mrs. | ||
| Shelton, By all of our accounts and feelings, our second mother. | ||
| She helped raise us. And so she was a small business owner. | ||
| So I'll start with the small business and congratulations. | ||
| Thank you. I, from a child, knew who our small business owners are, right? | ||
| I mean, you're business leaders, but you're also civic leaders. | ||
| You take seriously your voice in how you can mentor, how you can grow, right? | ||
| Communities and the sense of communities. | ||
| I love our small businesses and so a lot of my work in terms of building and growing the economy has focused on small businesses. | ||
| And my vision overall is we need to build an opportunity economy in which we increase opportunity for all, including small business owners. | ||
| So a lot of my work even in the Senate was about increasing access to capital through our small businesses and in particular through our community banks. | ||
| So I've been responsible for billions of dollars more now going into our community banks because they're in the community and then they know who's in the community and where the talent is and who's doing good in the community, what the community wants. | ||
| Oh, the community banks are in the community, and they're going to talk to the community about community issues, and she is also building an opportunity economy to increase opportunity in the economy. | ||
| It is such patronizing, infantilizing, utter drivel. | ||
| Do you know, Kamala, what might be an answer? | ||
| And I know these are things you can't do because you're a Democrat. | ||
| You might say, I'm for small business, so what I'm interested in doing is lowering taxes. | ||
| I want lower taxes so that a businessman might say, I have a little more money in my pocket. | ||
| I can invest a little bit more in that store, that pizza shop that I'm going to open up. | ||
| And oh, I have a little bit more in my pocket, so now I can pay my employees a little bit more. | ||
| And oh, I'm going to take away some regulation, a little bit of red tape, so they'll be able to build that restaurant or whatever it might be a little bit faster. | ||
| But instead, she gives... | ||
| Utterly meaningless platitudes. | ||
| How are you gonna help people get homes? | ||
| How are you gonna get the economy going? | ||
| Opportunity! Community! | ||
| I grew up next to a lady who did some stuff! | ||
| They just want their voters dumb and silent. | ||
| That is all they want. | ||
| But the truth is that the reason she speaks in such circular ways and that none of it really makes sense is if she was ever to really say what she thinks and repeatedly say it, people would catch on. | ||
| And it's only every now and again that she says what she actually thinks. | ||
| And what she actually thinks is that we should be a communist slash Marxist society. | ||
| Don't believe me? Here's Kamala Harris. | ||
| But not everyone starts out from the same place. | ||
| Some people start out on first base. | ||
| Some people start out on third base. | ||
| And if the goal is truly about equality, it has to be about a goal of saying everybody should end up in the same place. | ||
| And since we didn't start in the same place, some folks might need more. | ||
| No, lady. | ||
| You don't understand the difference between equality and equity, right? | ||
| Equity is putting everybody in the same place at the end, and you're gonna have to kill an awful lot of people to do it, because some people work harder, and some people do have more, and some people have more and blow it, and some people have nothing and make great things of themselves. | ||
| I am in a room with several people here. | ||
| We did not all come from exactly the same place. | ||
| I was born in Brooklyn. Where were you born? | ||
| Arizona? Tucson, Arizona. | ||
| Where were you born? Los Angeles, California. | ||
| Adi, where were you born? She's not even in the room right now. | ||
| You see? You see? I don't even know where she is. | ||
| We all come, I think she was born in Miami. | ||
| We were all born in different places. | ||
| We have came from different families, from different cultures, and probably had varying amounts of money. | ||
| And here we are all doing something. | ||
| So they want to destroy what was originally set up in our Constitution, the pursuit of happiness, not the guarantee that we will all end up in the same place. | ||
| Because then what happens is, oh my God, that guy's doing a little bit better than me. | ||
| We better hack away at his legs. | ||
| He's running a little faster in the race. | ||
| We better blow out his kneecaps. | ||
| And Instead, it's just such fake nonsensical thinking. | ||
| We're just gonna bring everybody. | ||
| We'll all be equal. It's funny, we're all gonna be equal. | ||
| I guess we're all gonna be appointed by Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama to be president of the United States without having anyone vote for us. | ||
| I guess that's me. Nonsense drivel. | ||
| She's a Marxist and she should be very, very far away from the office of the presidency of the United States. | ||
| Now let's shift over to another clip that I wanted to get out earlier this week, but we couldn't get to it. | ||
| You know, I'm always interested in these asexual weirdos, these men that they're not gay, not that I think anything's wrong with that, but they appear to be straight, but like they obviously can't get a boner and they're all just limp and they look like they have no testosterone and they're blah. | ||
| There's just this constant attack on masculinity and being a man and taking care of yourself and being a good father. | ||
| They've just attacked all of that. | ||
| Now I'm going to show you a video of Doug Emhoff. | ||
| He is married to Kamala Harris. | ||
| He also banged his nanny years ago, so I guess at one point he was able to get a boner. | ||
| Anyway, here he is with Jen Psaki over on the Televised Mental Institution, and she's explaining to him that he is the new face of masculinity. | ||
| An interesting part of how people have talked about your role here is how your role has reshaped the perception of masculinity. | ||
| And I'm not sure you planned on that, but you are an incredibly supportive spouse. | ||
| Has that been an evolution for you? | ||
| And do you think that's part of the role you might play as first gentleman? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's funny, I've started to think a lot about this. | |
| I've always been like this. | ||
| My dad was like this. | ||
| Everybody I know was like this. | ||
| We're just super masculine, and we've redefined things, and we're just supportive. | ||
| We're supportive of the communists. | ||
| And yes, I know she banged Montel Williams, but we're supportive of the whole thing. | ||
| Like, what... What planet are these people on? | ||
| They are on a different planet. | ||
| I am on a different planet than people that watch that television program. | ||
| Let's continue with these people from the news because, Saki, you've just redefined masculinity. | ||
| Look at you. I've never been... | ||
| I'm not even going to say it. I was going to... | ||
| I actually almost puked in my mouth if I would have finished that sentence. | ||
| But okay, that's that. Now let's jump back over to cable news. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's this guy. His name is Eddie Glaude. | |
| I don't know much about this guy, but he's very, very emotional. | ||
| Donald Trump is coming and we cannot stop him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Donald Trump got in 2020. | |
| So it took historic numbers to beat him, right? | ||
| And so now we get enamored with the Dick Cheney's and the Liz Cheney's and the Flakes and the da da da da, right? | ||
| And this man is running around here Busting his chops, scaring the hell out of communities, right? | ||
| And we're trying to figure out how to keep that middle locked in on her when she needs to bust him in his mouth. | ||
| I'm saying it like that because he's dangerous. | ||
| He's dangerous to particular people. | ||
| And the history of the country is such that we can't play fast and loose with it. | ||
| Fast and loose with it. Does that make sense? | ||
| Isn't it incumbent on all of us to protect the people who are endangered by him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
But you never have. | |
| That's the rub. | ||
| You never have. | ||
| And so part of what we have to do in the midst of this is to engage in a deep-seated political calculus, right? | ||
| Even though we know that she has to get the middle, we got to come out and try to figure out how to turn out in large historic numbers because we got to keep this troglodyte out of office. | ||
| Because if he comes in, our babies are going to be in danger. | ||
| Because remember, those young children are going to grow up with the memory of having to not go to school for the threat of bombs. | ||
| And somebody told them that their moms and dads eat cats. | ||
| If they eat cats and dogs. | ||
| I'll get myself together, Claire. | ||
| Okay, take a minute. | ||
| Can you imagine if you were at dinner with someone and they just said that, you know what I said? | ||
| When I say that the MSNBC is a televised mental institution, that's probably the best example of it, because I don't know what he's talking about, about the kids and the moms, and there's the dogs and the drug that I didn't hit him in the mouth, and he's just mad. | ||
| Like, if you were out to dinner with something, You're out to dinner with people, and the man across from you asks the whole thing, and he said exactly that, looking you in the face. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He would say, excuse me, sir, and you would walk away. | |
| I cannot be part of my own problems. | ||
| That is supposedly news or analysis on that network. | ||
| These people are, between him and, what's his name, Doug Enten, what the hell's his name? | ||
| The first chief, Kamala's husband, what the hell's his name? | ||
| These people, Doug Emhoff. | ||
| Masculinity, man. It ain't what it used to be. | ||
| Anyway, here is just more utter nonsense. | ||
| This is Harris surrogate Quentin Fox. | ||
| I think I pronounced that right. | ||
| Explaining that Kamala's the one who's gone after the cartels. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? Quentin, we know what Donald Trump's vision of immigration in this country looks like. | |
| He wants to build a wall. | ||
| He wants to deport 11 million people. | ||
| I think what we heard yesterday from the vice president is that it is possible to both secure our border, have an orderly and humane system there, and embrace immigrants on the interior of this country. | ||
| DACA recipients, DREAMers, people who have built their lives here, what the administration is currently doing with families belonging together, keeping American families together, parole in place. | ||
| Can we expect to see Governor Walz lean into that message of both ends, which I would argue really distinguishes this ticket from the folks you're running against? | ||
| Absolutely. I mean, obviously, immigration is going to be a topic of discussion, and it's an important one, and it's something that's on the mind of American voters, which, again, which is why Vice President Harris visited the border yesterday. | ||
| And I think the point that she is making is that look at what is happening. | ||
| Somebody is actually putting in the work and somebody is talking about it and continuing to stand in the way of progress. | ||
| And she's the only candidate in this race that has the experience of going after cartels, transnational gangs to stop the flow of fentanyl, to stop human trafficking. | ||
| Donald Trump continues to double down on dangerous rhetoric. | ||
| Yeah, what trash drivel. | ||
| So Mr. Fox, let me just be clear. | ||
| She did go to the border, apparently, yesterday. | ||
| That was after years of not going to the border. | ||
| It's you guys, it's Kamala's administration, because it's been basically, I mean, Joe's saying it himself, muddled Joe, that she was doing it all, that let in all of these people. | ||
| So she's doing the work. | ||
| I know you guys love saying that she's doing the work, but when Donald Trump was doing the work to build a wall, you guys all spent, you got your panties in a bunch and said he was racist and everything else. | ||
| Anyway, here's a little compilation of... | ||
| Kamala just being a general hypocrite on the border. | ||
| Would you call the border secure? The border is secure. | ||
| You're confident this border is secure? | ||
| We have... A secure border. | ||
| As your president, I will secure our border. | ||
| Well, who's been in charge this whole time? | ||
| Yes, you. | ||
| You people did this. | ||
| And now you are repeating Donald Trump talking points from 2015 about securing the border. | ||
| You're liars. You're frauds. | ||
| I don't like you very much. | ||
| Let's talk about Gravity to Fire. | ||
| G Defy shoes are the absolute best choice for walking, running, and standing. | ||
| If you're someone who loves being active or you simply spend a lot of time on your feet, these are the shoes for you. | ||
| After bawling all these years, I can confirm that GDefy shoes are the best footwear I've used on the court. | ||
| Every shoe contains GDefy's patented Verso Shock technology which aligns your body, | ||
| absorbs harmful shock from the ground up, provides energy return giving you the boosts you deserve to walk like a | ||
| champ. | ||
| All of their shoes come with two free orthotics. | ||
| GDefy will support your active lifestyle, keeping you comfortable and free from discomfort. | ||
| Go to gdefy.com and use code RUBEN30 for an exclusive $30 off one 30 or more. That's gdefy.com | ||
| and use code RUBEN30 for $30 off orders of one 30 or more. | ||
| All right, so I love this story related to the border and Kamala Harris and the nonsense. | ||
| So now suddenly, you know, the Democrats are trying to get all tough on the border because they know this is a major winning issue for Trump. | ||
| And it's the thing that he really brought into the equation, you know, a good nine years ago at this point. | ||
| Check out this tweet from the Border Patrol Union. | ||
| So this is the union of the Border Patrol. | ||
| It says it right there in the name. Pretty good. | ||
| BP Harris asserted in Arizona that CBP needed more resources. | ||
| We have apprehended over 8 million illegal immigrants over the last four years, and now you realize we need more help 38 days before the election? | ||
| They should have put in an emoji there, because yeah, that's the point. | ||
| They have needed, it's not just that they've needed more resources, they needed the proper directives to be told to them about what to do with these people, instead of just, we've shown you the videos where Where they're literally just opening the door and telling people, no, you don't wanna go to Chicago. | ||
| You might get shot there. Go to San Diego. | ||
| Oh, you think you're going to Tucson? | ||
| You better go over there to Boston. | ||
| Like, it's complete, utter insanity. | ||
| But even the unions for these people Are stepping up. | ||
| And here's just some straight up like, if you don't believe me, let's see some video of forklifts that were used to open the Texas border wall when they put the barbed wire there to keep the immigrants out. | ||
| the federal government literally brought forklifts in to lift the barbed wire so the illegals could come in. | ||
| No, totally, she's definitely gonna stop the fentanyl And of course, what happens when these people come in, and it does not mean that all of them are horrible people, but it is illegal to come into a country like this unless Democrats are running it, in which case they just let you in and they give you a bunch of s**t and they'll take from everybody that's productive and all that. | ||
| Well, then you get exactly what's happening in New York City right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is from this weekend. Oh, my God! Where are their masks? | |
| Put on a mask! | ||
| Do you think a city can function like this? | ||
| We don't know anything about these people, but we know they are now a drain on the city. | ||
| That's Vanderbilt Avenue. That's right by Grand Central over there. | ||
| Like, there's a lot of foot traffic over there. | ||
| Obviously, crime and drugs and God knows what else will increase because of this. | ||
| But even if it was all fine, you just can't have hundreds and thousands of people just laying out on the street. | ||
| It is not... It is... It is not a way for a functional place to operate, and it is a way to destroy a country, which actually kind of is the plan. | ||
| The other thing you might do as you're forklifting up barbed wire and you're dumping people on the street, the other thing you might do is start allowing non-citizens to become police officers. | ||
| And if you think that sounds completely insane, then I'd like to take you to a little place called Minneapolis, Minnesota. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Minneapolis Police Department swore in new officers. | |
| And that includes its first ever female Somali officer. | ||
| Ben Henry was there and shares what she and other recruits hope to accomplish. | ||
| Lots of hope there tonight, Ben. | ||
| There is. The department now has its first ever Somali woman officer and permanent resident, which is a non-citizen who's lived in the community since she was a child. | ||
| Lindsay, you said it. One word that was used a lot tonight, hope. | ||
| Mayor Jacob Frey says he sees and feels the department building back up, not just in numbers, but in culture. | ||
| Oh. It's just so wonderful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's hope in Minnesota where illegals are now police officers. | |
| And we're so excited about all of that. | ||
| Why do we talk like this? | ||
| We'll let you know after the commercial break. | ||
| This is completely insane. | ||
| It should not be surprising that a Somali in Minnesota who is an illegal is now a police officer. | ||
| There is just nothing functional in virtually any blue city at this point. | ||
| But ladies and gentlemen, it does not have to... | ||
| Do be this way. | ||
| How many times have I said it? | ||
| I'd like to go across the pond for the moment because occasionally something good does happen across the pond. | ||
| There is a Tory candidate by the name of Kemi Badenoch who is laying down some truth as it pertains to why Western civilization is good. | ||
| And yeah, I know it sounds a little racist, but it's better than some other civilizations go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now you've written this morning about immigration and you write that we cannot assume that all cultures are equally valid. | |
| So which cultures in your view are less valid than others? | ||
| Oh, lots. | ||
| Cultures that believe in child marriage, for instance, or that women don't have equal rights. | ||
| I actually think it's extraordinary that people think that's an unusual or controversial thing to say. | ||
| Of course, not all cultures are equally valid. | ||
| I don't believe in cultural relativism. | ||
| I believe in Western values, the principles which have made this country great. | ||
| And I think that we need to make sure that we continue to abide by those principles to keep the society that we have now. | ||
| So which particular cultures then would you say are less valid? | ||
| Because as you've said, your words are not mine. | ||
| Some people think that that is a controversial thing to say. | ||
| So which cultures would you specifically say are less valid than others? | ||
| So it's not about labelling cultures. | ||
| Culture includes a lot of things. | ||
| I'm not talking about cuisine. | ||
| I'm talking about customs. | ||
| And I think that cultures where... | ||
| Women are told that they should not work. | ||
| I would knock on doors. | ||
| I'm sure Penny and Jake had this. | ||
| You'd knock on doors and you'd see somebody at the door who says, I can't speak to you, I will get my husband. | ||
| I don't think that's as equally valid as our culture. | ||
| But the point I was making in the op-ed was about immigration. | ||
| That immigration is something which we need to make sure we get right. | ||
| We didn't before. I am saying that if we want to have a well-integrated society... | ||
| We need to make sure that we have a shared culture and a shared identity. | ||
| This is a multi-ethnic society. | ||
| That's obvious. I'm a black woman sitting here talking to you. | ||
| But there is a difference between being multi-ethnic and being multicultural. | ||
| I grew up in a place that was multicultural, and yet everybody looked the same. | ||
| Conflict arises when you emphasize difference. | ||
| We need to emphasize the thing that we share. | ||
| Being British, British values, the things that we talked about, freedom, equal rights, personal responsibility, not discriminating people because of their sexual orientation. | ||
| There are some cultures that do that. | ||
| I don't think that a culture that thinks gay people should be stoned is as valid as ours. | ||
| This is not a controversial thing to say. | ||
| Look how wonderful and clean and clear, and as I always say, simple to speak when you're speaking the truth. | ||
| And the interviewer is so condescending in her body language and the way she's looking at her. | ||
| You know what she should have done? Instead of just laying it out calmly the way she did, she could have been like, you know what? | ||
| I've decided I brought with me. | ||
| I have my female genital mutilation kit, and I'd like to chop off your clit right now. | ||
| Can we put that on television? | ||
| A bit much for Connor. It was a bit much. | ||
| But that would illustrate the point. | ||
| The lady would probably be like, you know what? | ||
| I kind of like my clit. I'd prefer not to do that. | ||
| And then she would say, well, that's a cultural thing. | ||
| You get it, guys? You get it? | ||
| Connor, to ease you out of that, because that seemed like a lot for you, do you have maybe a six-second video that we can all get a good laugh on? | ||

| Is there a genital mutilation kit? | ||
| There would be some kind of... Can you imagine if she just busted out the kit and just... | ||
| Crystal says, I hate to be this person, but in a year when every vote is so precious, what do you think voting looks like for all of those people displaced by Hurricane Helene? | ||
| Their lines have been upended by this terrible storm, but I cannot stop myself from worrying how they'll be forgotten about if Tammy wins. | ||
| Well, there's two things there. | ||
| There's literally like the portion... | ||
| Well, there's a lot of things there. | ||
| First off, there is so much devastation still in North Carolina. | ||
| It is just beyond imagination. | ||
| And we know that about 200 people have died and they'll probably find more and it's all still ongoing. | ||
| So that's one thing. | ||
| Then of course, there's the issue that you're talking about about how it relates to the election. | ||
| Like it absolutely could change a certain amount of people who can't get to polling places | ||
| or who are distracted with other things where like the litany of all of those things. | ||
| And then really, if Kamala becomes president, I mean, we only need to look at Joe Biden in these last couple of days, giving 2.4 billion to Ukraine and then saying that we have nothing else for North Carolina or some of the other states that were hit with this thing. | ||
| The Democrats seemingly don't care about the country, and they really don't care about their own voters. | ||
| It's irrelevant whether those people in those towns in North Carolina were going to vote Democrat or Republican. | ||
| Natural disaster is going to hit everybody, regardless of political beliefs or anything else. | ||
| And from what I understand, those areas happen to be a bit more red, but they think that their voters are idiots. | ||
| They think that they can just put in bad policies and they can install Kamala and do all these things. | ||
| And I guess largely that is exactly what they can do. | ||
| And then when they need help, these are the people who think the government should do everything for them. | ||
| Democrats generally. And then when they need help, the government's like, sorry, we're not going to help you. | ||
| It's just absolutely crazy. | ||
| And think how, in stark contrast, that is. | ||
| I can always tell you the great things that are happening in Florida and what Ron DeSantis is doing. | ||
| But the amount of resources that we are sending from Florida to North Carolina are absolutely extraordinary. | ||
| Elon's sending Starlink there, as we covered yesterday, and a bunch more. | ||
| But I would not rely on the federal government. | ||
| To do much of anything. Joe says, the MLB hit king, Pete Rose, passed away the other day. | ||
| Even though he was banned for life by MLB for gaming, does he belong in the Hall of Fame? | ||
| I'm glad you asked this question. | ||
| It's a little out of left field, so to speak, for me. | ||
| I don't talk a lot about baseball on the show, but I grew up a big baseball fan. | ||
| Pete Rose, obviously, as a player, was a little bit before my time. | ||
| He was a great player in the, was it late 60s, 70s, into early 80s. | ||
| Was he playing in the late 60s? | ||
| Probably. I think he won MVP in 73. | ||
| Nothing. Hell of a freaking reference if I just nailed that. | ||
| Did Pete Rose win MVP in 1973? | ||
| MLB, Connor's going to check on that for a moment. | ||
| But, you know, over 3,000 hits. | ||
| What? 73, Pete Rose. | ||
| How did I just do that? That was incredible. | ||
| Have you ever seen anything like that? You know, and he was just a hustler in the whole thing. | ||
| The thing is that as a manager, he bet on baseball games that his team, the Reds, were involved in. | ||
| So that is what has kept him out of the Hall of Fame. | ||
| Donald Trump has said he should be in. | ||
| I mean, when you cheat at that level, it's not that he bet on other games when he was retired. | ||
| He bet on his team's games. | ||
| It's sort of like Barry Bonds, who's also not in the Hall of Fame, who was like the poster child for all the steroid stuff and broke all the rules. | ||
| He broke the rules and the records, and we all knew he was doing it the whole time. | ||
| I don't think he should be in, and I... Probably Pete on the game. | ||
| I mean, you were betting on your own games. | ||
| Like, that seems a bit of a bridge too far. | ||
| It's not to say he wasn't an awesome baseball player. | ||
| He obviously was... | ||
| But like some things have to be sacred to make, you know, yeah, are you with me on this one, Connor? | ||
| You're the baseball guy here. I've got the nod from Connor. | ||
| Tim says, why doesn't the right use marketing to show how truly rich the leftist elite are making themselves? | ||
| If there is one strategy, it would seem, since a picture is worth a thousand words, to show images of Kamala, Obama, Clinton, et cetera, enjoying the good life they are creating only for themselves, Photos on yachts at the resort looking like the contrary to what they portray in the media. | ||
| We try to do that around here, right? | ||
| We've shown you Bill Gates' house, one of his many, many houses in Seattle on the water where no doubt as he was encouraging lockdowns, he had all of his, think how many staff he has at his house. | ||
| I've been to some of these like super duper crazy rich people's houses and I don't begrudge any of them that have done it fairly, any of the money or stuff that they have. | ||
| but like you need massive staffs, not only of protection, but butlers and waiters and cleaners | ||
| and people that were taking care of the grounds that worked there all day long and everything else. | ||
| And I guarantee you, they didn't sacrifice any of that during COVID. | ||
| Or Obama on a 30 acre estate. | ||
| How much was Barack Obama worth when he became president and how much is he worth now? | ||
| That would be a good reference point. | ||
| 30-acre estate on the water in Martha's Vineyard where they can't take any illegals. | ||
| He could have taken those 25 illegals and given them one acre. | ||
| 25 people can live okay on one acre. | ||
| It's actually possible. But yes, you're right. | ||
| They are the elites. And again, they like their people dumb. | ||
| So they keep saying, we're going to do things for you, while they really mean we're going to do things for ourselves. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi, the hundred mil that she's worth, and Gavin Newsom and all of that kind of stuff. | ||
| Barack Obama went to the White House worth $360,000. | ||
| Not too bad for a community organizer. | ||
| He's now worth $70 million. | ||
| I should be president of the United States. | ||
| What am I doing? Sitting here like a sucker with you guys. | ||
| Soupy says, uh, what do you do when every single bloody friend you have is liberal and you live in a bluer than blue Connecticut? | ||
| I used to have support from my husband, but he passed away a year ago and I have no one with whom to share my disgust with the powers that be. | ||
| Well, I'm sorry to hear about your husband. | ||
| Um... Move to Florida. | ||
| That really is the answer. | ||
| If you're stuck there now, if you're moving into a different phase of life. | ||
| And look, the thing with friends, more than anything else, is that there's a certain amount of people that think, oh, if you just don't tell people what you think, it'll be okay. | ||
| It's one thing, the stranger on the street, the random person that you meet, you get into | ||
| a political argument at the bar, okay, fine. | ||
| But there's so many people that now have friends and family and they choose to be quiet. | ||
| And that's usually people on the right. | ||
| It's not lefties. | ||
| Lefties will not shut up about politics and will not tell you how right they are and how | ||
| wrong you are. | ||
| And they will make it personal and mean. | ||
| People on the right generally just don't do that. | ||
| Not always, of course, there's exceptions to the rule. | ||
| But if you're in a situation right now where you're surrounded by all these people and | ||
| you're not happy about it and you can't be yourself and you can't go out to dinners with | ||
| friends who could just put that stuff aside and everything else, then, you know, I don't | ||
| know exactly what your life conditions are, but I would consider maybe moving. | ||
| Like, there are so many places where you can be around people where it's so much better. | ||
| The fact that I walk my dog around here, and my neighbors come up to me, and they know me, and I like them. | ||
| You know, for the most part, there is one family with the Harris Wall sign. | ||
| I have yet to see them outside. | ||
| But like, there's just like something common. | ||
| There's a lot of American flags out here. | ||
| Like we can just kind of shoot the together. | ||
| Like you need to be around people that are like, they don't have to agree with you on everything, but we have to be somewhat like-minded. | ||
| That's how you build community and everything else. | ||
| I don't have to tell you anything that you don't know, but I wish you luck with that. | ||
| It's a tough one. Tiny Matt says, how do we get media back to normal? | ||
| Many are just sheep and believe anything they hear. | ||
| And if it's CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, it's lies. | ||
| There is no back to normal. | ||
| I know a lot of us, especially if you're of a certain age and you grew up when those things were roughly trustworthy, or at least we thought they were trustworthy. | ||
| We thought 6.30 p.m. | ||
| ABC, CBS, NBC News were trustworthy. | ||
| You know, just you watched it. | ||
| Oh, I like Peter Jennings a little more than I like Tom Brokaw, so I'll watch this one. | ||
| Or I like Dan Rather more than the other one. | ||
| I'll watch CBS or ABC, whatever it is. | ||
| Who knows how long they haven't been trustworthy for. | ||
| But we're never going back. | ||
| The world has shifted. Technology has shifted us. | ||
| This phone has shifted us. | ||
| And we're going to our own places. | ||
| And hopefully you do the best you can to find people that are somewhat honest, that you know what their blind spots are and everything else. | ||
| I am absolutely not perfect. | ||
| But I tell you what I think, and sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong. | ||
| I'm pretty bad, I think, when it comes to political predictions. | ||
| But I'm pretty good when it comes to, like, the general trend of where things are going. | ||
| And just telling you what I think doesn't mean you're gonna be right all the time. | ||
| And you have a nose for who's lying to you and everything else. | ||
| But we're never getting back To, like, oh, there will, well, you know what? | ||
| There would be one way we get back to an authoritative thing, and it would be the most horrible situation, because it would be that the Democrats are in power, and they've jailed Elon Musk, and they've figured out how to shut X, and they've put more control on everything else, and there will be one authoritative thing. | ||
| And of course, it won't be truthful, but enough of us would believe it to probably, you know, it would be an opiate to the masses. | ||
| Biology always wins, says, so I thought Trump would win by a huge margin. | ||
| Then the hurricane came. | ||
| It is now the best way to cheat in this election. | ||
| How confident are you that Trump can win with the disaster? | ||
| I sort of referenced this earlier in how it might affect some voting, or are they going to suddenly push for more mail-in ballots, or are they going to bring back COVID a week before anything else? | ||
| My gut feeling is that the hurricane itself will not have a huge effect on the election. | ||
| It could maybe affect some of it in North Carolina specifically, but I don't think it'll have much of a difference in some of the other states. | ||
| I'm more worried about what other October surprises there are. | ||
| Like on October 1st of this month, we almost went into World War III with the Iran attack on Israel. | ||
| So So who the hell knows? | ||
| But I think the most important thing you can do is get out, vote in person, talk to your friends, and I guess a little bit of praying won't hurt. | ||
| Like, I just don't know what you can do beyond that. | ||
| Like, if you can be a poll watcher, be a poll watcher. | ||
| You know, you've got a phone. | ||
| If you see some shenanigans, take a picture of it. | ||
| But I get it. I get why people are not very confident right now. | ||
| Hey26. Hey, Dave, are you still trying to convert Mar or has that campaign been halted? | ||
| Love your efforts. Keep up the good work. | ||
| I mean, I've stopped trying to convert him. | ||
| You know, if we went back a year ago, let's say, before, it was right around now, a year ago, when I was on Real Time, I think, for the first time. | ||
| And I had already done the podcast and we've hung out a couple of times. | ||
| And I've tried. To the extent that I can, I've tried to show him his blind spots. | ||
| You know, on the podcast, I said, you know, he was talking about Trump election denial. | ||
| I said, well, Hillary called Donald Trump an illegitimate president. | ||
| He said, no, he didn't. I showed him the actual clip. | ||
| Like, I tried on real time. | ||
| I debunked very fine people right in front of him. | ||
| So I've tried in other forums and private things. | ||
| I don't think he's coming around. | ||
| And Bill, if you're watching, still love you. | ||
| But I don't think you're coming around. | ||
| I think he thinks... That, as he always says, I haven't changed, the liberals have changed, but I think in life you have to change as times change. | ||
| You don't abandon all your beliefs, but you should change as the road is winding. | ||
| You don't just plow ahead despite whatever's in front of you. | ||
| So I think, unfortunately, he will end up voting for the Democrats, which then will, if Kamala is to win, will create a situation where he will have furthered all of the things he's fighting against, right? | ||
| He's radically for free speech. | ||
| They're against free speech. He doesn't want more lockdowns. | ||
| They're for all of that authoritarian control. | ||
| He doesn't like what they've done with Israel and foreign policy. | ||
| Like, all of these things. | ||
| But I don't think he will change. | ||
| But to his credit... | ||
| He does talk about the right issues and his audience might change. | ||
| I think many of those liberals at this Rescue the Republic event I was just at, like these were, when I was polling the crowd, These were largely independents and Democrats, and they were suddenly virtually all Trump voters. | ||
| Definitely not Kamala voters. | ||
| Bill is just the avatar for it, and it's the people that are watching him that you want to get. | ||
| Whether he votes that way or not, in some ways, doesn't matter. | ||
| He's in Cali also. | ||
| Lynn Ross says, hey Dave, I just read that Alex Jones' site is up for auction to help pay the 1.5 billion | ||
| he owed from Sandy Hook. | ||
| Media Matters is looking to buy it and destroy him. | ||
| Agree with him or not. | ||
| My issue is that once again, the left-wing lunatics will stamp out another opposing voice. | ||
| It's bad enough Soros just bought 200 radio stations. | ||
| Why don't conservative billionaires and millionaires band together and help him out? | ||
| So look, this is bad. | ||
| Regardless, you're making a great point. | ||
| Whatever you think of Alex Jones... | ||
| Whatever you think that he said that the, you know, Sandy Hook parents were crisis actors and all of those things, like destroying the man's business, $1.5 billion in damage and everything else. | ||
| Like if lying and being mean was something that could destroy everyone's career and cause them to pay $1.5 billion in damages, like just think of the amount of hosts on MSNBC who should be taken out or the, you know, like the liars of mainstream media. | ||
| We could go through the list. You guys don't need me to do it. | ||
| So it's a huge problem. | ||
| And of course, what you're really pointing out, too, is the same thing that they do with Donald Trump, which is that it always goes one way, right? | ||
| It goes against people that speak up against the system. | ||
| So that's part of the problem. | ||
| I would say some... | ||
| Billionaires on our side have gotten in the game in a bigger way. | ||
| Elon is the obvious example. | ||
| David Sachs, who's a big tech guy, who's been on the show many times, he's running fundraisers for Trump now and speaking at the Republican National Convention. | ||
| So more and more people are... Bill Ackman, lifelong Democrat, now voting for Trump. | ||
| So we're seeing some of the shift happen there. | ||
| But in essence, you're basically saying, why don't they throw their money towards more projects? | ||
| That can fix some of this stuff. | ||
| While the left puts all of their projects in these NGOs that get Hamas kids out on the streets in New York City and the rest of it, I don't know why they don't. | ||
| I don't know why they don't. Maybe there's more going on behind the scenes than I know, but it's a good question. | ||
| Florida Man Chuck says, I recently took an off-the-grid cruise with the family to relax. | ||
| Now that I'm back, I'm realizing just how much I despise all of the political and social noise and how good it is To not be around it. | ||
| Do you think we'll ever get to a point where we don't have to be watching our backs from the political and social machine, or do you think we all have some form of political PTSD that will never go away? | ||
| It's a great question. | ||
| How do we get on the other side of this thing, where every day it's another crazy thing? | ||
| Two assassination attempts in two months. | ||
| We almost slipped into World War III the other day. | ||
| They cooed the President of the United States. | ||
| All of this stuff. I think there's no real answer to that other than every single one of you watching this should just think about your relationship with this thing. | ||
| And I even say that to myself as someone that largely has a healthy relationship with it in that I do the Off the Great August thing. | ||
| I don't do social media on the weekends for the most part. | ||
| But we still find ourselves sitting at the table, sometimes scrolling, and someone will be like, you know, I just asked you a question. | ||
| Like, we all... Are in that mess to some extent. | ||
| And it will be up to you. | ||
| I think there will be places. | ||
| You know, look, we know that people with means are moving out of cities. | ||
| And so I think the city-rural divide is just going to get increasingly more... | ||
| It's just gonna diverge more and more in essence. | ||
| And I think people that, there will be more and more people that live in rural communities. | ||
| They'll do more things like homeschooling. | ||
| They'll probably do less of the phone stuff. | ||
| And then there'll be people that live in the cities and they're just endlessly connected to everything. | ||
| And there will be 15 minute cities and there will be social credit stories and they'll live under a certain amount of control. | ||
| You're gonna have to figure out what part of that you want to be in. | ||
| Eurasian says, So they tolerate blatant hypocrisy like trying to jail their political opponent or remove him from the ballots to protect democracy. | ||
| It's brilliant. It's a great question. | ||
| It's like why they're always, they've got to save democracy. | ||
| How do they have to save democracy? They have to end the Supreme Court or pack the Supreme Court or they have to change the filibuster rules or like they have to shred the Constitution and they have to take away your free speech to save democracy when in essence, yes, what they mean is save the Democrat Party because the Democrat Party wants to hold on to power at all costs. | ||
| How many of them realize it? | ||
| I think that people at the top really realize what they're doing. | ||
| I think that Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris is just a tool in that and the rest of them, they realize what they're trying to hold on to. | ||
| And unfortunately, they've kept their base really, like they're either just like dumb or ignorant or distracted or Or angry or fearful. | ||
| Like, it's all of those things. | ||
| That's why the debate was so refreshing to watch, actually, even though I don't think it changes many votes. | ||
| The VP debate was kind of refreshing. | ||
| It was like there was J.D. laying out calmly, pleasantly, with a smile on his face and a little bit of humor, like some deep stuff. | ||
| And that was in contrast to Walls. | ||
| Really was. But, you know, Walls. | ||
| Like, the basic thing alone. | ||
| When he says that hate speech is not protected speech, it's like, dude, that should disqualify you from ever being anywhere near the office of the presidency or the vice presidency right then and there. | ||
| GoldZ62 says, do you think a VP debate moves the needle at all for the election? | ||
| Does anyone really care about the VPs? | ||
| I guess I just answered that. I don't think, I cannot imagine that it moved anyone in any major way. | ||
| There might be, I mean, let's try to do it. | ||
| There might be a couple people who were on the fence about Trump, needed a little bit more to feel comfortable with it and could have got there because of JD. Did anyone watch JD and was voting for Trump already and was like, no way I'm voting for this guy? | ||
| I cannot possibly imagine that scenario. | ||
| The Walls situation. Well, the truth is that Walls, although he's not a particularly good candidate, he's not particularly confident, he's not a great speaker, I think he's confused about the issues, he's way better than Kamala. | ||
| That's the truth. He has some record. | ||
| He has been elected a couple of times. | ||
| He was in Congress. | ||
| He actually, it's clear that he believes what he's saying. | ||
| She doesn't believe anything she's saying. | ||
| She takes every position on everything. | ||
| So I suppose there could be somebody on the left Who was like, you know, I'm not really into this Kamala. | ||
| She seems kind of fake, but this guy seems to get it from a Democrat standpoint. | ||
| I actually could see that too. | ||
| Now, the question is, does that affect the election? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I don't think there's any way to quantify that. | ||
| Susan says, what books are you reading to the boys these days? | ||
| If you're going to homeschool, have you started looking at curriculum? | ||
| There are so many resources out there right now that it can be overwhelming. | ||
| So, Luke's turning two on Sunday, and we are just having some discussions about some homeschooling stuff and some pod-schooling, and we're making some friends here that maybe some of the parents can be involved in some of that kind of stuff. | ||
| Look, we are blessed to have great schools here in Florida, but I think we're gonna do the homeschooling thing for a while. | ||
| I really do think it's the better way to go, and even in Florida, like, you hand them to a state educator, you just don't know what's gonna happen. | ||
| Now we have great charter schools, too, and everything else, so we'll see. | ||
| But, you know, Putting aside my family specifically, the idea, I see this so clearly now as a parent, the idea that your kid is, let's say, five years old and you're about to send them to kindergarten just to some school in New York City. | ||
| You have no idea what that teacher is going to teach. | ||
| Like, it just, it's just so absolutely crazy. | ||
| So David has been spending a lot of time looking into homeschooling and that sort of stuff, and I suppose I'll talk about that more as the years go by. | ||
| As for some of the books that they are reading right now, well, Halloween is a-coming. | ||
| We're a very festive family around here. | ||
| We've got the pumpkins outside already. | ||
| Dr. Seuss's Spooky Things, that's been making the rounds right now. | ||
| We've got Mouse's First Fall and The Hungry Caterpillar. | ||
| I guess he's called The Very Hungry Caterpillar. | ||
| You know, he's eaten through all the fruits and vegetables, which I had that book when I was a child. | ||
| They've changed the book a little bit. | ||
| And then, of course, there's Corduroy and Curious George and the rest of them. | ||
| In stark contrast to Bicurious George, which is what they teach at a lot of... | ||
| On a lot of the schools. | ||
| And last one for today, poem number one says, Hey, wondering what you're doing for the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. | ||
| Shana Tova, wishing you and your family a happy and peaceful New Year. | ||
| Rosh Hashanah Tova, right back to you. | ||
| We are having dinner with my sister and her husband and her kids. | ||
| We'll probably do that for a couple of nights. | ||
| And I think I'm pre-taping this right now, so if you're watching this right now, I'm going to sneak over to the local synagogue and say some highs and maybe check in with the man upstairs, see what he's doing. | ||
| And especially in light of world events of the past year, probably worth doing a little bit of that. | ||
| Guys, part two of my interview with Grant Cardone is up right now. | ||
| We've got a newly relaunched DaveRubin.store if you want to get some merch. | ||
| And no post-game today, because as I said, this was pre-recorded. | ||
| And we will be back tomorrow. | ||
