Dave Rubin confronts the "crazy world" narrative by defending Congressman Byron Donalds against Andrew Ross Sorkin's claims on CNBC, citing Harris's Hitler comparisons and Puerto Rican inflation fears. He counters Whoopi Goldberg and Van Jones regarding Trump's alleged attacks on interracial marriages and Black men, highlighting Trump's record on unemployment. Rubin critiques Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel for "woke" alignment, notes major papers dropping Harris endorsements due to anticipated Republican gains, and concludes with Elon Musk's polling data showing significant early voting shifts favoring Republicans in the upcoming election.

We are live streaming on Rumble on YouTube on Locals.
Our numbers have been exploding.
We thank you.
And if you have not yet already subscribed on one or all of the channels, why not go ahead and do that?
Postgame show, rubinreport.locals.com immediately after the show.
As always, if you've got a question for me, if you'd like to correct me, nudge me, whatever you want to do, that's where we do all of that stuff.
And it just hit me very starkly.
That the tagline we came up for this show a couple years ago, Crazy World Sane Views, like, we are now in the thick of crazy world and a couple people with sane views.
I'd like to consider myself in that group, and I think you watching this probably consider yourself...
In that group, that means that they, the people calling us Nazis, are probably the crazy world people, and we need to spend the rest of the next week moving as many of them possible, because one week from today, of course, is the election.
There is a lot of good evidence that this thing is going to go our way, and that maybe we will finally be rid of some of this crazy, woke Marxist stuff.
Lunacy, however, as you know I say it basically on every show, you gotta give the devil his due.
Let's not get overconfident and see what happens here.
So we're gonna dive into a lot about the way the media is messaging all of this, because as you guys know, there is the truth, there is the actual reality, what happens, like at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, which was an eight-hour America love fest.
And then there's the way that the media frames everything, the narrative that gets sent out to people.
And we know still that there are millions.
We don't know the exact number, but there might be 60, 70 million Americans still who buy the BS from the mainstream media.
And to me, that's really what this election is about.
It's about Trump and Kamala.
It's Democrats and Republicans.
No, it's about people who are peeking behind the thing and realizing that it's an old man there and not the mighty powerful Oz, and people who just want to keep that skirt closed, basically, that curtain closed.
And that's really the tension that we're fighting right now.
So let's just dive in.
So, as you know, I was at the MSG Trump event on Sunday.
Probably 15 speakers, eight hours.
There was not a word of hatred or anger or anything else.
Yes, there were a couple off-color jokes about several groups right at the top by comedian Tony Hinchfeld.
Wait, Hinchcliffe.
Hinchcliffe, not Hinchfeld.
Hinchcliffe.
But, of course, the media is running that this was a Nazi rally.
So Byron Donalds, who's a congressman down here, I've had him on the show a couple times, down here in Southwest Florida, other coasts, He was one of the speakers, got a huge, huge ovation, gave a really fantastic speech, and then he went over to CNBC yesterday to talk to Andrew Ross Sorkin, who is, of course, framing everything about the evil Nazi-like rhetoric of Donald Trump and all his fascist supporters.
The reason that they don't want to vote for Trump is because they see, either in his character or the people who seem to support him, You seem to be engaged in that or willing to engage in that, right?
Because what you don't see, you don't go to other rallies for Harris or see in a Harris rally that kind of vitriol.
And that, again, gets to that shift that I'm talking about right now, where more and more people are seeing through the BS. Because online media exists, because they haven't censored us all to oblivion, even though they're trying, it gives guys like Byron Donalds now, I think, a little extra juice when he goes on those programs.
And Sorkin, by the way, is not terrible.
He really isn't terrible.
In some respects, he's asking a It's not great, but he's asking a relatively honest question, meaning people agree with Trump on policy, but they're worried about rhetoric.
Then, of course, he goes a little too far because he's talking about the vitriol at the freaking rally.
And again, I was there for all eight hours of it, and there was no vitriol.
Just to reiterate one more time, and then I won't bother repeating it.
Hinchcliffe went up as people were still coming in.
He was the opening act.
He is a comic who works blue.
He's an insult comic.
This is what he does.
He made jokes about several other groups, too, including Jews, by the way, and nobody cares about that, and they shouldn't care about that.
Don Rickles.
There's a video.
Maybe we'll show you some of this tomorrow.
There's a video going viral right now of Don Rickles at Ronald Reagan's, I think his re-election in 1984.
At the party, and Don Rickles is going after everybody.
That makes us all American.
Anyway, Sorkin's question, okay, maybe it's fine, maybe it isn't, but Byron's response is great because nobody will remember that, but think about it.
They're telling you it was a Nazi rally, and the thing that they have to hang their hat on about the Nazi rally is they can't find any lines that Donald Trump said So it was the furthest possible thing from a Nazi rally.
It was the furthest possible thing From a vitriolic rally.
But all they've got is, oh my God, this guy made one joke and they have to go crazy with it.
So anyway, great job right there.
But the reason I wanted to start with that clip, because I thought it would be a nice way to throw to this.
You may remember this.
This is from about a year ago when Elon Musk was talking to Andrew Ross Sorkin at an event.
And this was as Elon has been going through his wake up that would then sort of culminate in him being at Madison Square Garden at a Trump rally.
And I think this sort of gets to the heart Of the confusion around the woke and how they trick everybody in the media.
And I have to tell you that not only was that rally a joy fest, but when Elon got up there, he even referenced like how crazy it is that he's there and how much joy there was there.
And there was no, there was no one that was anti-immigrant there, anti-illegal immigrant, and there was nobody racist.
And okay, you get all of that.
But what the left is doing at the other side, like what's happening on the other side of this?
It's what's Kamala's campaign about?
It's a brat summer and it's all about joy and mamala.
But none of it's actually good.
None of the policies, whether letting in, you know, what do we think, 10 to 15 million illegals, whether it's tanking the dollar, whether it's the disastrous policy in the Middle East or in Ukraine, none of it's good for the American people, but they can smile when they do it, which is why I think it was Ronald Reagan He said, when socialism comes to America, it'll come in the name of liberalism because they'll be smiling about it the whole time and they take advantage of people's feelings.
Gad Saad, my friend Gad Saad, who's been on the show a million times, he talks about this endlessly.
It's suicidal empathy.
You have such empathy and such a desire for joy and goodness that you will kill yourself at the same time.
Now, interestingly, I want to show you this clip.
It's about two minutes long.
Jon Stewart, who should have become a great bulwark on the left against the woke insanity, but decided to go with it.
So he's been wrong on all the major issues, the trans stuff, the race stuff, Trump derangement syndrome, all of the stuff.
He still, I'm going to give him credit here, he still is a comic.
And comics have largely come out to defend Hinchcliffe, whether you like the joke or And that's the purpose of a comic.
A comic occasionally is going to get close to the line and sometimes trip over it, right?
Now, obviously, in retrospect, having a roast comedian come to a political rally a week before Election Day and roasting a key voting demographic, probably not the best decision by the campaign politically.
But to be fair, the guy's really just doing what he does.
I mean, here he is at the Tom Brady roast a few months ago.
unidentified
The great Jeff Ross, ladies and gentlemen.
Jeff is so Jewish, he only watches football for the coin toss.
All right, so John, look, I've been critical of you even though I was your intern at The Daily Show in 1999, but I will give you credit there.
You're a comic defending comics.
You know, it's funny, on the insult comic thing in general, or the roast thing, like, to me, it's all just kind of low-hanging fruit.
Like, they all sit there with their fake laughs and it's Whatever you want to watch real great insult humor you want to watch real roasts go on YouTube and watch the old-school roasts where they used to roast Ronald Reagan and it would be Sinatra up there and Dean Martin and it was a bunch of old-school celebrities who were drinking who really were friends where now they put these people just it's all selected by their PR agents you make fun of him and you'll get a little more famous and everything else but that's a bit of a sidebar and Of course,
another comedian, quote-unquote comedian, who's involved in this, and maybe who could have been a bulwark against it but decided to go all in on the woke stuff, is Jimmy Kimmel.
He's been, I would say, as bad as Jon Stewart's been.
Jimmy Kimmel's been far worse.
Here he is explaining that you should have Trump derangement syndrome.
unidentified
I'm an optimistic person.
I'm not hysterical.
I laugh when people say, oh, you've got Trump derangement syndrome.
If you're a reasonable person, you should have Trump derangement syndrome.
And by the way, I think he has derangement syndrome about us, too.
The fact of the matter is, this is a dangerous person.
Yeah, I mean, dude, as always, just get the mirror, look at yourself.
There's no reason to have Trump derangement syndrome.
Look at the first two years of his presidency when the border was clean, the economy was great, several peace deals in the Middle East, no Russia and Ukraine, etc., etc.
You live in service to the machine, and you should because he gave you a job that pays you $20 million a year to tell your hack jokes.
We'll have more on the mainstream media in just a moment, but let me talk to you about Preserve Gold.

Alright, so let's continue for a bit with this war on reality, because that's really what's going on here.
There is the reality of Trump and Trump's message and the MSG rally and everything else, and then there is the way that the media and the machine change the narrative So good people focus on one joke and can then spawn that off into a million Nazi conspiracies.
Mika Brzezinski, who is Joe Scarborough's co-host and wife, which is a thought so disgusting I don't even know how to describe it.
She went on The View because she's a crazy lady and crazy ladies like sitting at tables with other crazy ladies being crazy together.
It's a thing.
That basically explains the Democrat Party.
Mika went on The View and listened to how she described Donald Trump and the MSG rally.
And, of course, there's historic parallels to where and when this happened.
But even more so, it also points out Everything that we know, but it's important to act on right now because this is the moment and we won't have it again.
Nobody gets a pass trashing America.
Puerto Rican Americans, nobody gets a pass degrading people.
Nobody gets a pass degrading legal migrants and terrorizing people.
Nobody gets a pass threatening his enemies with using the military against them.
Nobody gets a pass on inciting an insurrection.
Nobody gets a pass on saying he fancies Hitler and wants to have generals like his.
Nobody gets a pass on insulting veterans and saying those who died for our country Are suckers and losers except for convicted felon Donald Trump.
And guys, here's the warning.
You all have set it up.
But let me take it a step further, please, if I may.
If this was all a good show, then I think it would be a lot easier for us to go on with our day.
But it's not even a good show.
The reporter doesn't even believe what she's saying.
Mr.
President, did you see what Donald Trump said about, and she's like afraid to say, immigrants.
He didn't say anything about legal immigrants.
Actually, they talked about MS-13.
They talked about the Venezuelan gangs and the rapists and the murderers.
I know you guys are kind of for that stuff.
And then Mr.
President, then he...
He walks over, can't really move his face anymore, doesn't really know what he's saying.
You're all horrible, horrible people, and I hope you all burn in hell.
Let's talk about Rumble Premium for a second and more on the other side.
Welcome to my show!
They're attacked daily for giving us a voice to talk to you.
They're attacked in corporate media.
They're attacked by governments like France.
They're attacked by brand advertisers who refuse to work with them.
Corporate America is fighting to remove free speech while Rumble is fighting to keep it.
Rumble won't survive with brand advertisers alone.
They don't get much of it.
So watching our show is the number one way we can ask for support from you.
But if you really believe in this fight and you have the means, one major way you can help Rumble survive is by joining Rumble Premium.
Join the community that believes in the First Amendment and believes in our human right to free speech.
Rumble is offering $10 off with promo code RUBEN when you purchase an annual subscription.
Go to rumble.com slash premium slash RUBEN and use code RUBEN. Like I said, if you have the means and believe in the cause, now is the time to join Rumble Premium.
If you don't have the means, we're just happy if you watch us right here on Rumble.
Alright, so one thing that's particularly interesting right now, beyond the, oh, you're a Nazi, you're a Hitler, you're a fascist stuff, is that Kamala's shifting a little bit in some of the messaging as we get to this last week.
And as I keep saying, if you think it's been bananas, we are in for the most banana-filled week ever.
This is it.
Seven days of bananas.
That's where we're at at this point.
I mean, this would be a good week for monkeypox to come out because bananas...
That even really makes sense, I'm not sure.
Anyway, Kamala Harris, as they've sort of shot their load on the Hitler thing, Kamala is now, listen to the craziness of this.
Donald Trump, who has built this wide coalition, how did he do it?
He built a wide coalition defending free speech, right?
He built a wide coalition now that people have realized, even good liberals have realized that the Second Amendment is good because the government's not so great.
That's what he's done here, to wake up so many people amongst a bunch of other things.
Here's Kamala Harris talking about how Trump is going to terminate the First Amendment for Black people and also terminate the Second Amendment for Black people.
Should he have the ability to sit behind the seal of the president of the United States when he says he wants to terminate the Constitution of the United States?
You know what that would mean?
In the Constitution of the United States, is your Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure.
And you've talked about buybacks and everything else.
And please do not pretend that your party is suddenly pro-Second Amendment.
Of course you guys are not.
And that's why you never want to talk about mental health or prescription drugs or the cultural problems that lead to the shootings.
But the idea...
First off, just be...
There's so much, because it's like you're a liar that he wants to destroy the Constitution.
He's actually trying to govern in line with the Constitution.
You guys are the ones that want to pack the courts.
You guys are the ones that actually want to use the deep state and the agencies to govern and not allow the people to have a voice.
You guys, it was your fucking administration that worked with big tech to silence people during COVID. So everything that she says there, Do you think Donald Trump deserves the right to sit behind that desk?
He damn well does because he did a good job of it when he did it once.
You've never sat there and I pray to the Lord that you never sit there and nobody voted for you in a primary.
Donald Trump won two primaries by blowouts.
Awful.
Absolutely awful.
Here's more, as long as we're talking about the black community, which for some reason lefties think they all must think the same thing.
I, for one, think that black people are allowed to think whatever they want, and that's just fine.
Here's Van Jones saying that Trump's Agenda 47 will lock up black men.
So after Whoopi, and we're going to make sure interracial marriage doesn't happen, then we're going to have forced white marriage, then apparently we're locking up all the black men.
Van, why do you think that all black men are in street gangs?
They don't do these things to lawful people.
Now, that doesn't mean that there can't be a bad cop who might do a stop and frisk unfairly or unjustly, and that should be dealt with.
And police departments and agencies have ways to deal with those things.
Whether they do it properly is a separate issue.
There's no perfect system.
But getting rid of street gangs, that would be good.
What Donald Trump's talking about there is that in cities, like in the city you guys shot that very video right there, Los Angeles, the mayor of LA is no longer doing proper policing.
You can trespass and jump over people's fences and set up a tent and they won't do anything.
You can smoke crack outside of City Hall.
Remember when we did that on our last visit there?
It was pretty great.
So, no, he is not coming after...
Donald Trump literally had lowest all-time Black unemployment.
Oh, and, uh, Conor, do we have a picture, maybe, of Van Jones, who is working on policy as it relates to the Black...
Did we Photoshop him in there with those other Black people smiling at the orange man, or was that a...
Yeah, he was doing that at that time, and, of course, his grift is almost up.
Speaking of grips, let's go back to the televised mental institution known as MSNBC, where it's not just that Whoopi's telling you that they're going to break up the interracial marriages and force white marriages and then we're going to take the black people's guns according to Kamala and da-da-da-da-da.
Here's Nicole Wallace saying that every woman in America is about to die.
In 2020, she effectively appealed to our better angels.
And just a few months ago, she told the Pro-democracy Americans among us to, quote, do something.
Now, with just over one week until Election Day, former First Lady Michelle Obama isn't messing around anymore.
Because with women's reproductive health care and freedoms hanging in the balance next Tuesday, the stakes literally are life and death for every woman in America.
To me, around 12 weeks would be basically pushing it, but you leave it to the states.
The states can decide.
But it's life or death for For women to make their own healthcare decisions, brought to you by, brought to you by the same people who injected you with some shit that they didn't know what it was just a couple years ago.
Here's a video of Michelle Obama, also fear-mongering about women.
unidentified
But to anyone out there thinking about sitting out this election or voting for Donald Trump or a third party candidate in protest, because you're fed up, Let me warn you, your rage does not exist in a vacuum.
If we don't get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women will become collateral damage to your rage.
So are you as men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and children you love and tell them that you supported this assault on our safety?
The assault on the safety of women might be that MS-13 is now in the United States, that Venezuelan gangs are running rampant, that there are illegals raping women and taking over homes, that crime is through the roof in Democrat-run cities.
Let's talk about the Contagion Kit, and then we'll continue with more as it relates to Harris and her interesting campaign.
Good title for a movie.
The world's on edge.
Election tensions, economic instability, supply shortages, and new health threats.
Waiting for the medical-industrial complex to protect you during a crisis is a huge mistake.
That's why I want to tell you guys about the Wellness Company's Contagion Emergency Kit.
It's a lifesaver put together by real experts like Dr.
Peter McCullough.
Inside, you've got medications like Ivermectin, HCQ, Budezinine, and even a nebulizer.
These are critical medications to treat respiratory illnesses and so much more, especially heading into flu season.
Think about it.
We've witnessed drug shortages, pharmacies turning people away, and prescriptions being questioned.
Do you really want to risk being told no when you need lifesaving meds?
This kit lets you bypass the red tape.
No waiting, no begging.
You're in control.
With just a few clicks, the kit is delivered right to your door.
I have my kit, and now you can get yours by heading on over to TWC.healthslashRubin and use code RUBIN to save $45.

All right, so we're in the stretch run here.
We know that Donald Trump is doing a million appearances, whether it's with Joe Rogan or MSG, the world's biggest podcast, the world's most famous arena, etc., etc.
And Kamala's making the rounds, too, so she's doing her thing.
They talk about Trump having hate rallies with angry people.
Here's Kamala kind of getting booed offstage, basically.
Like, you can't, like, there's nothing real about that woman.
Her sip was fake.
Did you see it barely touched her lips?
And then they sit there, and Whitmer, who's so horrible, and also Kamala Zhu sounded kind of racist.
We're all finding racism everywhere that it is, except where it actually is.
That sounded kind of racist to me.
But they're busting out the clown car of sort of irrelevant people, you know, to get her.
They get all the celebrities who have had sex with children, and then they busted out Doc Rivers.
Doc Rivers, I used to like Doc Rivers.
I remember him as a player in the 80s.
Obviously been a coach in the NBA for the last 15 or so years.
Celtics, Clippers, maybe somebody else.
Here he is with Doug Emhoff, because these are dudes who are playing basketball and stuff, and they like Kamala because of the dribbling and things of that nature.
unidentified
Alright guys, huddle up!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Yes!
This is the final stretch of the election.
We have 30 seconds for one last play.
Alright, Coach.
Doug, you're gonna travel across all these swing states, right?
And you're gonna make sure that folks know that Kamla is gonna take care of all of them, just like she takes care of her family.
Yeah!
Tony, you have to make sure everyone knows that Kamla is gonna support their families.
Alright, Coach.
Wes, you're gonna make sure everyone knows that Kamala is an effective government partner.
You got it, Coach.
And all of you, you must head to IWillVote.com to make your plan to vote.
Now, I don't know if this is true, but I was told that immediately after shooting that promo right there, that there was an intern who was serving them coffee, and Doug Emhoff's coffee was a little cold, and he slapped her across the face.
Uh-oh, Media Matters, you're coming after me for misinformation.
Who is listening to Doc Rivers?
You know, interestingly about Doc Rivers, I saw somebody posted that video and there were a bunch of people responding to it.
Doc Rivers, if you look at the 10 biggest leads that teams have ever blown in the NBA playoffs, he coached like six of those teams, meaning his teams had like 25, 30 point leads in games in the playoffs and blew the lead.
So hopefully that's a little bellwether for where we're heading here.
But let's shift a little bit.
We're showing a lot of just the stupidity and the hypocrisy, of course, and all that, and that's easy stuff.
What I love are stories about people who are not political, who are doing other things, and then they start waking up.
They realize that Trump is not the devil.
He's not Hitler.
They realize that there is a side that cares about America and that is actually joyous for the right reasons and that believes in a positive future that isn't dictated by the government and everything else.
And one of those guys, we played a couple videos of him.
Recently, and I chatted with him at the Rescue of the Republic rally in D.C. not too long ago, is Zachary Levi, who many of you know as Shazam from the D.C. movies.
He talked with Megyn Kelly about why he, well, not only did he wake up and he's out there with Tulsi and RFK doing events, but he woke up and he got to the end of the road why he's voting for Trump.
I'm voting for Donald Trump and Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk and JD Vance and everyone else that they're going to bring in in this team, this Avengers, this Voltron, whatever you want to call it, and they're going to get in there and actually do what Donald Trump said he was going to do the first time, which is drain the swamp.
And he has admitted that he couldn't do it and he didn't do it because he didn't know what he was doing.
He didn't even think he was going to win the first time.
And he had no time for his transition team.
And then it was loaded with a bunch of sycophants and horrible people that were the swamp monsters that Bobby Kennedy has very accurately pointed out.
And so now they're privately funding.
I love this.
Trump is privately funding his own transition team, not waiting for the government.
So they are ready to go and they are not compromised.
That is the government that I want.
That is something Bobby is 100% he and Tulsi are going to be let loose to be the bulldogs that we need to hold people to account.
You know, I just have to add a little color, and I'm not patting myself on the back by saying this, but after the Restore the Republic rally, I had dinner with him and with Tulsi there, and we chatted about all of this and what she could do if she gets in the government and fight for the right things alongside Bobby and everything else.
And I had dinner with Tulsi right after the MSG thing the other night, and she's ready to do this, and these are good people.
And we're so used to not seeing good people in government that we're a little unsure.
It's like, could Donald Trump actually be the good guy?
RFK? What?
There's going to be good people actually doing things for the right reasons?
We wouldn't even know what to do.
But what he laid out there, that there would be a team, whatever you want to call it, the Avengers, Voltron, whatever that thing is.
I like the Voltron reference.
It's probably going over most people's head.
But you could take small groups of robotic lions and put them together into a giant robot with a big sword.
That would be pretty cool.
And that's what they could do, right?
And those people, by the way, Tulsi and RFK and Elon, have very similar political trajectories as me, as I'm sure many of you clearly have.
Zach.
And another guy, I think we've played one or two videos of him over the years, who has realized what's going on here with this dream team type thing, that it wouldn't just be Trump having to drain the swamp without all of the knowledge.
He would then have an all-star team of government efficiency, Elon, someone going into the CDC and NIH as RFK, someone dealing with the Department of Defense, Tulsi, et cetera, et cetera.
Maybe a chief of staff or PR guy, Vivek.
Another guy who's come around on some of this stuff, I think you've heard of him before, Jordan Peterson.
unidentified
Trump, Musk, Kennedy, Gabbard, Ramaswamy, Vance, that's a dream team by the standards of anyone looking for a wild and compelling show.
God only knows what, with that same God's help, they could accomplish.
Every single one of those people is remarkable in their own right.
Everyone, a person whom it has been a privilege to watch here and to some degree Get to know.
I would vote for Trump as president if I could vote and I can't because I'm Canadian and forgive me for that.
Can someone send a letter to somebody like, the guy should be a citizen of the United States of America and he definitely needs to get out of Canada.
But that aside for a second, that's the point, guys.
We are so used to clowns, ridiculous people who for all the wrong reasons have the jobs.
Say Pete Buttigieg being transportation secretary because he's gay.
Saying Dick Levine being assistant secretary of health because he doesn't have a dick.
Et cetera, et cetera.
Corinne Jean-Pierre.
All these people who are deeply unqualified to do any of these things, running a clown car of insanity, and then here it is.
And it's weird.
I get it.
It's strange that an orange man with crazy hair who's a billionaire somehow assembled this team, but here we are.
This is the moment, and we better freaking grab it, because I don't know how it materializes again if he loses.
I just do not.
I just simply do not.
But I will tell you this.
There are major signals in the system Seven days away from this thing that Trump is gonna win.
So check this out.
This is seriously interesting.
This is from Colin Rugg.
New, Jeff Bezos.
You guys know Jeff Bezos.
I believe he's even richer than Elon.
Richest man in the world who owns Amazon.
Jeff Bezos rips the Band-Aid off, blasts his own newspaper's credibility and victim mentality.
The statement comes after Bezos refused to allow the Washington Post to make a presidential endorsement.
Most people believe the media is biased.
Anyone who doesn't see this is paying scant attention to reality, and those who fight reality lose.
Reality is an undefeated champion.
It would be easy to blame others for our long and continuing fall in credibility and therefore decline in impact.
He's talking about the Washington Post, of course.
But a victim mentality will not help.
Complaining is not a strategy.
We must work harder to control what we can control to increase our credibility.
Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election.
No undecided voter in Pennsylvania are gonna say, I'm going with newspaper A's endorsement.
None.
What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias, a perception of non-independence, ending them as a principle decision, and it's the right one.
Lack of credibility isn't unique to the Post.
Our Brethren newspapers have the same issue, and it's a problem not only for media, but also for the nation.
Many people are turning to off-the-cuff podcasts, inaccurate social media posts, and other unverified news sources which can quickly spread misinformation and deepen divisions.
While I do not and will not push my personal interest, I will also not allow this paper to stay on autopilot and fade into irrelevance, overtaken by unresearched podcasts and social media barbs, not without a fight.
It's too important.
The stakes are too high.
Now more than ever, the world needs a credible, trusted, independent voice.
And where better for that voice to originate than the capital city of the most important country in the world?
To win this fight, we have to exercise new muscles.
Some changes will be a return to the past and some will be new inventions.
Criticism will be part and parcel of anything new, of course.
This is the way of the world.
None of this will be easy, but it will be worth it.
I am so grateful to be part of this endeavor.
Many of the finest journalists you'll find anywhere work at the Washington Post and they work painstakingly every day to get to the truth.
They deserve to be believed.
Let me make a point here, guys.
Most of that is pure bullshit, right?
What he realizes is that we, we and you watching this, it's not just me sitting here, that we are overtaking them and there's a reason we're overtaking them.
Yes, this show may be funny and everything else and Rogan may be good and all that stuff, but it's because you guys have been so derelict We're good to go.
Right?
That's what's really going on here.
If they thought Kamala was gonna win, they would be endorsing because they are in the business of keeping the powerful in power.
It's not much more complicated than that.
Check this out from Joe Concha.
He's a great media reporter.
The list keeps growing regarding major newspapers not endorsing Kamala Harris that traditionally have supported Democratic candidates in the past.
Washington Post, LA Times, USA Today, and now Tampa Bay Times.
So these newspapers, which are supposed to be in the business of unbiased journalism, and for some reason every four years decide that they should endorse a candidate, which kind of shows you the thing behind the curtain, they're not doing it now.
But it's not because they suddenly are like, oh, we're supposed to be impartial.
It's because they know that the guy that they don't want to win is about to win.
And they don't want to piss everybody off all along the way.
Okay, so how do we end this show?
Because, as I said, it's going to keep getting crazier.
The banana tree is going to be ruffled.
All of those wacky things are going to keep happening.
And how do you remain hopeful amidst the craziness?
Well, there's a lot of reason to remain hopeful right now.
Check this out from Elon Musk.
Early votes in Pennsylvania now show Republicans doing 435k better than at the same date in 2020.
Biden's margin of victory was only 80k in 2020, trending towards a crushing victory.
Registration by party is similar between Democrats and Republicans, and early votes in 2024 for Republicans are almost double- Compared to 2020.
So these are real numbers.
These are people who have voted already.
So this isn't speculation.
This isn't, you know, going like this in the wind.
This is actual real votes.
And one more that'll give you some hope here from Elon.
Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina all showing a massive shift towards Republicans.
Verse 2020.
Um, and you can see some of the numbers right there, but basically there's been a massive, massive move.
Democrats way down in Arizona, uh, And Republicans way up.
Guys, we've got a post-game show coming up in moments, rubinreport.locals.com, and we will be back tomorrow, the day after, and the day after, and keep doing it, and doing it, and there'll be an election, and we'll keep doing it after that, et cetera, et cetera.
