Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if me and Trump won just the normal gay guy vote. | ||
Oh, sure. | ||
Because, again, they just wanted to be left the hell alone. | ||
unidentified
|
But I'm serious. | |
These are the kind of guys you like to smack in your ass. | ||
unidentified
|
It's a crazy world. | |
Crazy world. | ||
Somebody's gotta have the same views. | ||
It's a crazy world. | ||
It's a crazy world. | ||
Somebody's gotta have the same views. | ||
All right, guys, here we go. | ||
It is November 4th, 2024. | ||
I am Dave Rubin. | ||
This is the Rubin Report, and I believe that today we have our biggest program in the 11-year history of the show for you. | ||
That's right. | ||
If you didn't hear about it, there's a little election tomorrow, and we thought we'd try to prep you properly. | ||
We have three huge guests joining me today throughout the show. | ||
We're going to run for about 90 minutes today. | ||
With absolutely everything and this is all of course to the backdrop of the election and tomorrow night I'll have a little bit more on this for you tomorrow but tomorrow night we're gonna be live for about six hours and what I can promise you is the funnest most ridiculous insane informative crazy election night special you have ever seen we have so many great things planned and I know you have a million places you can watch all those All the coverage, but I do hope you'll join us for that. | ||
But joining me today will be Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who will be jumping on in just a minute or two. | ||
We're obviously gonna talk about the national election, and there's a couple huge constitutional amendments that they're trying to ram through here in Florida that I know the governor wants to get to that are important to me as a Floridian, and I think they fit well Within this constant struggle we are now seeing between the people and the government. | ||
So we'll have Governor DeSantis on for about 20 minutes. | ||
Then we have Dr. | ||
Phil on. | ||
And of course, Dr. | ||
Phil, who largely has spent a 30 or 40 year career in the public eye as someone who was apolitical, not thought of as partisan in any way, who now I would say is a Trump supporter and spoke at MSG. I was there for that. | ||
And has just been thrust into the thick of the political craziness. | ||
So Governor DeSantis, who of course ran against Trump, now supporting Trump, but ran against him in the primary, the guy that I supported, Governor DeSantis. | ||
Then Dr. | ||
Phil, who'd been largely apolitical, as I said. | ||
And then joining me for the bottom half of the hour will be Glenn Beck. | ||
And Glenn, like me, was against Trump, did not vote for Trump in 2016, did vote for him in 2020, and absolutely is voting for him this time around. | ||
So I thought that would be a good mix of people To show you how interesting this alliance now is. | ||
Before we get to any of that, we're waiting on the governor for the moment. | ||
Oh, I think we have the governor? | ||
No, we're waiting on the governor. | ||
He's at Florida International University. | ||
I wanted to start with this because yesterday, you know, I've been telling you guys, this is not... | ||
It's not an election about Democrat versus Republican, and it's not an election about conservative versus liberal or any of those things. | ||
This is basically an election about truth. | ||
We have seen so many lies run through the system, be pushed by politicians and pushed by the mainstream media, and then we've seen the counter to the lies that you guys are able to get because Elon now owns Twitter X, because we can put these videos on Rumble and Locals and all of those things. | ||
Pushing the lies. | ||
And to me, that's what this election is about. | ||
How many people have woken up to what reality is? | ||
So if you would like a perfect example of what I have been talking about, Barack Obama yesterday was campaigning for Kamala Harris, and believe it or not, he pushed the very fine people hoax again. | ||
unidentified
|
Maybe you're Muslim American or Jewish American and you are heartbroken and furious about the ongoing bloodshed in the Middle East and worried about the rise of anti-Semitism. | |
Why would you place your faith in somebody who instituted a so-called Muslim ban? | ||
Who sat down for pleasantries with Holocaust deniers? | ||
Who said that there were very fine people on both sides of a white supremacist rally. | ||
Man, from hope and change to that utter BS. Okay, put aside the pandering to the Jews and the Muslims and there was no Muslim ban and that if you're Jewish and you're voting for the guy or for the lady, it doesn't even matter whether she's a lady or a guy, if you're voting for the side that's actively trying to destroy Israel and make it increasingly unsafe for Jews in this country, you should have your head examined. | ||
But putting that aside, The very fine people hoax has been debunked over and over and over again, to the point that these videos have now been seen probably hundreds of millions of times online, and they keep running with it. | ||
Joe Biden, as you know, when he ran for president the first time, not this last time where they didn't let him finish the job, when he ran for president the first time, said that he was running for president because of very fine people on both sides in Charlottesville. | ||
It has been debunked. | ||
They have lied about it. | ||
As you know, I went on Real Time with Bill Maher, debunked it. | ||
I think that was probably the first time it was debunked on national network television. | ||
But it's been debunked across the board and they keep doing it. | ||
So that's why I think this election is about truth. | ||
They are seeing how much juice they have left. | ||
Can we keep lying to people all the time and have them buy those lies? | ||
Well, I saw that video this morning, and I said to Brock, my social media guy, Brock, could you put together a video of that, Obama lying about very fine people, and the truth that Trump said? | ||
Could you do that in about a 30-second video? | ||
And three minutes later, Brock was able to deliver me this. | ||
unidentified
|
Who said that there were very fine people on both sides of a white supremacist Rally. | |
Very fine people, on both sides. | ||
You had people in that group, excuse me, excuse me. | ||
You had people, and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally. | ||
But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? | ||
So do you see that's what this is really about? | ||
Barack Obama, the most generous version of him saying very fine people on both sides is that he somehow still doesn't know it's true. | ||
But I am not willing to give him that most generous version of it. | ||
He knows it's a lie. | ||
But he knows he can lie to those people because they have been brainwashed. | ||
They have been brainwashed by CNN and MSNBC and ABC News and the Washington Post and the New York Times that ran with the craziest hoax perhaps of all time. | ||
Because again, the guy who's still the president right now, even though he's a vegetable and they pushed him out, he said he ran because of it. | ||
And it's a hoax. | ||
So why is it? | ||
Am I so brilliant and amazing That I saw that video and it took us quite literally three minutes to put that together and now that has millions of views on Twitter already. | ||
So that's good because more and more people are waking up, but you can clearly connect that to why they want to censor us. | ||
Why do they want to censor us? | ||
Why do they want to take out Elon Musk? | ||
Why do they want to make sure that X is either demonetized or shadow banned into oblivion or blown off the internet altogether or everything else? | ||
Because here is where we are seeing something true. | ||
It does not mean that I get everything right. | ||
There is no chance in hell that I do. | ||
But now you can see what the real divide is. | ||
And the divide is the People, I would say, in this broad, wide tent coalition on the right that realize that things are a little bit messy, and you better find some alliances with people that you disagree with on things politically, and that you better get something closer to the truth than what the mainstream media's putting out, or there is a bunch of NPCs, non-playable characters, who will swallow the lies of Barack Obama, and they're led by people, like Obama is the evil Pied Piper in this, right? | ||
Like, he knows. | ||
I cannot give him that generous version. | ||
He knows damn well what he's doing, He's lying to these people. | ||
Kamala is lying to these people. | ||
Why is it that Jake Tapper won't call him out on that? | ||
Why is it that no one in the mainstream media will call Barack Obama out on that while they will be going crazy about misinformation that Donald Trump will spew? | ||
And it's usually actually just truth said in a funny way. | ||
Anyway, we're going to have Governor DeSantis in a second, but let me show you this other clip because this gets directly to the heart of partly why I moved to Florida in the first place. | ||
We have governor? | ||
All right, we have the governor. | ||
So let me say hi to Governor Ron DeSantis, who I believe is at FIU right now. | ||
Governor, how are you? | ||
I'm doing good. | ||
How are you doing? | ||
I'm all right, man. | ||
We're going to talk about a whole bunch of stuff. | ||
We're going to get to the Florida amendments that I know you want to talk about. | ||
Did you hear that there's an election tomorrow? | ||
Do you know anything about that? | ||
Yeah, you know, the interesting thing is, is if we were in any presidential election this century or even before, our state would have been ground zero for that as the biggest swing state, sometimes decided by less than a thousand votes, usually within one point. | ||
That is not happening this year. | ||
We now have, even though when I got elected governor, there were 300,000 more registered Democrats in the state than Republicans, and we had never had more Republicans than Democrats. | ||
We now have 1.1 million more registered Republicans than Democrats. | ||
So we're going to go into Election Day with a Republican 10.3 percent Registration advantage. | ||
That doesn't necessarily tell you who they voted for. | ||
Some Dems can vote R and vice versa. | ||
But in terms of the turnout, that's what we're seeing. | ||
We anticipate to probably expand that on Election Day. | ||
And so in terms of, and I think I saw a stat 2020, there were hundreds of millions of dollars spent in Florida on the presidential election, on television and radio. | ||
This year, there's been $5 million total between both campaigns. | ||
So that shows you People know that Florida is firmly in the red column for the first time in a long time. | ||
Well, Gov, you know I single-handedly moved about two dozen people here that work for my two companies, and it was largely because of everything you did with COVID. And that actually connects to some of the stories that I want to cover with you today, because John Fetterman, who seems like perhaps one of the more sane Democrats, which is a strange phrase these days, he went on Joe Rogan, and they got into it as to illegal immigration and whether the Dems are basically importing voters. | ||
And I wanted to get your take on this. | ||
Take a look. | ||
First Democrats saying, hey, we need a secure border. | ||
It's a significant issue. | ||
And if I thought there was any kinds of issues, and I've been very vigilant throughout, I've been actively involved in those kinds of things, and I've never witnessed those kinds of a thing. | ||
What do you mean by issues? | ||
Like, what kind of issues are you talking about? | ||
You're talking about people letting people in in order to get votes? | ||
Well, I don't think there's that level of kinds of organization. | ||
But there is an organization that's moving these people to swing states. | ||
There's a significant number of these people that are illegal immigrants that have made their way to swing states. | ||
And then there's been calls for amnesty. | ||
There's been calls for allowing these people to have a pathway to citizenship and allow them to vote. | ||
The fear that a lot of people have is that this is a coordinated effort to take these people that you're allowing to come into the country, then you're providing them with all sorts of services like food stamps and housing, and setting them up, and then providing a pathway to amnesty, | ||
and then you would have voters that would be significantly It's a big fear that people have. | ||
Immigration is always gonna be a tough issue in our nation. | ||
I voted for the border deal, and that went down. | ||
And that's, I mean, he said that 25 years ago, and that was absolutely true now, that they had an opportunity to do a comprehensive border bipartisan, and that went down because Trump, he declared that that's a bad deal after it was negotiated with the other side. | ||
But didn't that deal also involve amnesty? | ||
And didn't that deal also involve a significant number of illegal aliens being allowed into the country every year? | ||
I think it was two million people. | ||
So it was still the same sort of situation, and their fear is exactly what I talked about. | ||
I'm not really sure if that's what's in play. | ||
I think it's really important that we have to have an honest conversation. | ||
But doesn't that seem logical, though? | ||
Gov, there were a couple of reasons I wanted to show that to you. | ||
First, Joe basically at this point is better than any network, cable, doesn't matter, mainstream journalist. | ||
That's number one. | ||
Number two, Fetterman is thought of as the moderate in the party right now, but he clearly is on board all of this stuff. | ||
And three, to connect this to Florida, You have so secured elections here. | ||
What a joy it is to vote in these Florida elections where I go and they ask me for my ID and I take a piece of paper and someone walks me over to the ballot box and walks me away when I fold it up and put it in and all those things. | ||
So can you just talk about how to secure elections properly? | ||
Because I think an awful lot of people across the country right now are just worried that this system doesn't work. | ||
And I can tell everyone watching this here in Florida, we know it works and there's a reason for it. | ||
Yeah, I mean, look, it didn't always work that way in Florida. | ||
I think people remember 2000. | ||
It was obviously a very close election. | ||
And anytime you have an election that close, all the warts are going to be exposed. | ||
And it showed that there were a lot of problems. | ||
There were a lot of things done over the years. | ||
When I came in, I knew more needed to be done. | ||
What we do is, one, photo ID. You gotta show ID to be able to get your ballot. | ||
Two, paper ballots. | ||
I don't believe in the computer voting. | ||
I think that that's a big problem. | ||
Three, transparency in the votes that are being cast, both before the election ends You have the ability to track all the votes that are coming in, not who they voted for, but you can tell how many Republicans voted in Miami-Dade this morning, how many Democrats sent in mail ballots to Broward yesterday, and you can do that. | ||
And then on Election Day, the running total is there for all to see. | ||
So what happens is 7 o'clock Eastern, 7 Central in the Panhandle, once that hits, it's done. | ||
You know the total number of votes that have been cast. | ||
And then it's just about processing and counting them very quickly. | ||
And we do and we produce the results. | ||
Now, you can't vote in Florida if you're an illegal alien. | ||
We have that. | ||
Or a foreigner. | ||
Not just a legal alien. | ||
If you're a legal foreigner, you can't vote either. | ||
That's in our state constitution. | ||
That's great. | ||
We have other provisions to ensure election integrity. | ||
That's great. | ||
But I think what we do, and I instituted this when I became governor, we created an election crimes unit In state government. | ||
And so when you have somebody that's a foreigner that votes, we can then go and prosecute them through the attorney general's office. | ||
You know, part of the problem with ensuring election integrity is some of these district attorneys, they don't want to bring election cases. | ||
Some of it's ideological, some of it's they just want to focus on other things. | ||
What we've done is we've brought cases against people that are via election laws, people that are voting if they're foreign. | ||
Now, there's not a lot in Florida that happens. | ||
But I think the fact that we do pursue it means that there's very little that happens because people know they'll be held accountable. | ||
Foreigners vote, you're gonna be prosecuted. | ||
If you vote in two different jurisdictions, New York and Florida, let's say, we're gonna hold you accountable for that. | ||
You gotta pick one. | ||
You can be a resident of Florida and vote here, but if you're voting there, you can't vote here. | ||
And then also people that have committed serious criminal offenses. | ||
There was an amendment that passed years ago that said felons, once they complete their sentence, could get their voting rights back automatically, but not sex offenders and not people guilty of homicide. | ||
We've had sex offenders. | ||
That have voted and we've held them accountable. | ||
So I think the enforcement, I think you got to have a good framework and some of these states have horrific frameworks, but you got to enforce what you have. | ||
In Florida, everybody knows it's just not worth it to try to do anything. | ||
Like for example, we banned ballot harvesting. | ||
Don't even try to ballot harvest. | ||
You know you'll be held accountable so you don't see it. | ||
So I think everyone knows that when it comes to doing things properly and legally, that's kind of what you're a master at. | ||
But I think one of the best things that you did in the last two years was the Martha's Vineyard, what people called a stunt. | ||
But I think it was quite brilliant because it caught culture properly. | ||
And everyone remembers that, but I want to throw to a 30 second clip quick. | ||
unidentified
|
...has sent migrants on a plane to Martha's Vineyard. | |
Now, this is where the Obamas have a home, Oprah, Beyonce, even James Taylor, who's going to be seeing fire, rain, and migrants. | ||
Not to mention Rosie O'Donnell. | ||
I mean, everybody, basically, that you know on the left has a home there. | ||
Do you think they're going to be embracing their new neighbors? | ||
You know, these are all sanctuary cities until they're in their sanctuary. | ||
I doubt they'll embrace them Gov, was part of your calculation there just to expose the hypocrisy? | ||
Because I think that's one of the things that we're always trailing on. | ||
We're always trailing on the cultural side of things. | ||
And I think that was a huge cultural win for us. | ||
And it made people start talking about the border and sanctuary cities and states, etc. | ||
Yeah, I mean, remember, when that happened, no one was talking about the border outside of some of the conservative media circles. | ||
It had not really permeated outside that. | ||
And I think one of the things that's really bothered me about the whole open borders is the people that are the most resolute in favor of open borders, who have the open borders ideology. | ||
They never themselves have to deal with the fruits of that themselves. | ||
And Martha's Vineyard's a great example because they actually had a refugee relocation center in the downtown in one of the places in Martha's Vineyard. | ||
It's like nobody's illegal, everyone from around the world is welcome. | ||
I don't think it's ever actually been used, but they had it there really just to virtue signal. | ||
But they had done resolutions saying there's sanctuary jurisdiction, all this stuff. | ||
So the 50 that were transported there, this was even after Labor Day. | ||
So Martha's Vineyard, it's not like it was crowded. | ||
They had massive numbers of housing. | ||
They had resources. | ||
And yet, they went into panic mode. | ||
They called out the National Guard. | ||
They deported the people off the island the next day. | ||
And you think about that, you're like, okay, this is one of the most wealthiest enclaves in the world. | ||
They are ideologically in favor of open borders, and yet they said they were overwhelmed and couldn't handle it. | ||
How do you think some of these other places feel? | ||
So I think it elevated the issue, and it shows. | ||
You have to make these arguments about why the borders should be open, and when it's brought to your front door, you can't make them. | ||
Some of those people were saying the same things that some of the Texas towns were saying about not being able to handle it, this is not the right way to do it, so on and so forth. | ||
Right. | ||
Somehow when the Texas El Paso airport gets overrun, it's okay. | ||
But did you call Obama maybe and ask if he could just set aside one of his 30 acres on the water? | ||
Did you think of maybe just shooting him a text and saying, hey, Barack, one acre, we could put 24 people on one acre. | ||
That would be all right. | ||
I'll tell you what, we have the best emergency management team in the country, and if there was a need for emergency housing on Obama's estate, I think we could have arranged some travel trailers or some other temporary adobes to be able to be there with Barack. | ||
I don't know if you've seen this story, but this is wild, and it goes right to the hypocrisy of what these people do. | ||
unidentified
|
Check this out from CNBC. I put a lawn sign in my front yard and I don't think I should be subjected to these fraudulent mailers. | |
When this 50-year-old Shrewsbury woman put up a Harris wall sign in front of her home, she just wanted to show her support. | ||
She never imagined she would be subjected to a campaign dirty trick. | ||
It really creeped me out. | ||
She was dismayed when the mail arrived this week and she received this postcard. | ||
It purports to be from the Harris campaign, thanking her for putting up a sign and alerting her a family from Nicaragua would be moving into her home. | ||
That's when I realized it was an obvious attempt to try to either scare me or rage bait me and make me upset. | ||
It's absolutely a scare tactic. | ||
Gov, I'm not an elected official, so I can just say I love this story. | ||
Like, it's just, this is what these, they want these people until they show up at their door. | ||
So of course this is fraudulent. | ||
No Nicaraguans are showing up at anyone's house, as far as we know. | ||
But I just love this, because every time these people are confronted with reality, suddenly they get a little more conservative. | ||
Yeah, look, I think you see these liberal enclaves. | ||
They have certain views. | ||
They like to virtue signal, but they do not like to have to face the consequences of their ideology. | ||
And so, yeah, obviously that postcard is a joke. | ||
They're not actually going to bring Nicaraguans, but to see that reaction To be so upset about it just shows you that these are really, really bad policies. | ||
It's sad because we've seen the destruction that's happened from this open border, and yet as long as they insulate themselves, they just want to keep steaming ahead with the same failed policies. | ||
All right, I wanna get to what's going on here in Florida with these amendments. | ||
Just a bit more on what's happening nationally for a second, and we'll connect it actually to Florida. | ||
This is from Clay Travis. | ||
I thought this was super interesting. | ||
Republicans are up by 11 points in Florida early voting, nearly 8 million votes cast so far. | ||
Trump won Florida by three in 2020. | ||
If he wins Florida by double digits, and I think he will, he's winning the White House. | ||
But get out and vote. | ||
Trump will need one of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or Michigan. | ||
Governor, I don't know if you remember this, but way back when, two or... | ||
Maybe three years ago, even, when you were running for re-election, you did the show with me in Orlando and we were backstage and I said to you, you're gonna win by 20 points re-election. | ||
And you said, no, no, maybe six. | ||
I believe you won by 20 points. | ||
So you are, I'd say, quite happy with the trend that we're seeing right now in Florida? | ||
Yeah, well, in politics, you always wanna under-promise and over-deliver. | ||
And so I was never gonna predict, but we knew. | ||
So listen, I would be hesitant to take Florida as a harbinger of the country compared to 2020 for this reason. | ||
I had mentioned there were 300,000 more D's than ours when I got elected in 18. | ||
Donald Trump won the state of Florida by 3% in 2020. | ||
And there were 150,000 more D's than ours at that point. | ||
Today, there's 1.1 million D's to ours. | ||
And so what we're seeing is really about the underlying shift I'm not saying it's bad for the country. | ||
I'm just saying there's not been a single state that has had this type of movement in the country over the last four years. | ||
And honestly, I don't think you could go back through modern American history and find a state that in a four-year period netted 1.2 million Republican, or even Democrat, do the other way. | ||
I don't think you've ever seen movement like this. | ||
And so, yeah, he's going to win Florida by significantly more than he did in 2020. | ||
And just think about when you were saying I was going to win by 20 in 22, we did. | ||
We had 300,000 more registered R's than D's in 2020. | ||
So just since 22, we've added 800,000. | ||
Net registrations. | ||
No one's ever seen anything like that. | ||
So that's good news for Florida. | ||
I'm not sure necessarily that we can say it's going to do X, Y, and Z. I think those races up there seem to be very competitive. | ||
I do think the Democrats put a lot more money up there. | ||
One of the things I've noticed here, just not being a swing state anymore, you don't see the Democrat get out the vote operation at all. | ||
They used to spend millions of dollars in Florida. | ||
I'd imagine they're doing that in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, some of the swing states. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I mean, I've got one guy in my neighborhood with a Harris wall sign and I just feel like going there and just giving him a hug. | ||
There's just nobody left here. | ||
It's wonderful. | ||
Just real quick before we get to the two amendments that I want to focus on. | ||
Why do you think so few Republican governors have been willing to lead the way that you have? | ||
Because it just seems obvious that people just want competent governance and yet so many Republicans are just afraid of doing that. | ||
I hope it's changing, but you just still don't see it across the nation. | ||
Well, look, I mean, I'll let them speak for themselves. | ||
I mean, some of them are friends of mine. | ||
I think some of them have done a really good job. | ||
But I mean, for me, I think there's a couple of things. | ||
One is, you know, you got to be able to execute in kind of these crisis situations. | ||
And whether it was COVID, whether it was the Surfside collapse, whether it's the hurricanes, that's just something that we do. | ||
And we work very hard to prepare and be ready. | ||
And then execute. | ||
Two is the things that I promised, whether it was in 18 or 22, when I promise it, I deliver it. | ||
I don't make you promises if I don't have intention of following through. | ||
And so you can look back, not only have we delivered on 100% of the promises, we delivered on a lot more than what we initially promised, which is good. | ||
And then finally, I think one of the things that I just believe in, and I know you're going to talk about the amendments, and this applies to there. | ||
A leader, you can't just stick your finger in the wind. | ||
The public opinion can shift here or there on different things over different periods of time. | ||
You've got to be anchored in what you believe to be true. | ||
You've got to be anchored in a solid foundation of, in my case, You know, the principles that founded the country. | ||
And so I don't just put my finger in the wind. | ||
If I'm somewhere where I'm going in a direction, maybe the public isn't with me. | ||
It's my job as a leader to bring them on my side. | ||
And on COVID, that's a good example. | ||
The best decisions I made during the early days of COVID We're good to go. | ||
When you feel strongly about something and bring people to your side, I think a lot of people that get elected to politics, generally R&D, they kind of look at it, okay, here's, put the finger in the wind, I'm just going to go there, but that's not leadership. | ||
All right, so to that point, let's get to these two Florida constitutional amendments, because I think they represent somewhat of the struggle that we're seeing nationally, although they're specific to Florida, obviously. | ||
First Amendment 3, this is from CBS News. | ||
Amendment 3 allows adults who are 21 or older to possess, purchase, and use marijuana for personal, non-medical reasons. | ||
It sets limits on how much individuals can legally carry, up to 85 grams of marijuana, It would also allow existing medical marijuana dispensaries to sell marijuana to recreational users. | ||
State licensed businesses could be authorized to cultivate, process, and distribute the product. | ||
A yes vote on the amendment supports recreational marijuana legalization for people who are 21 or older, while a no vote favors keeping in place the system that makes marijuana only available For medical use. | ||
Governor, my audience knows this. | ||
I lean largely libertarian. | ||
I don't really care what people do in the privacy of their own home. | ||
I know in many ways you have a lot of libertarian beliefs as well. | ||
I don't want... | ||
For me, this comes down to, I do not want Florida to turn into New York. | ||
You go to Manhattan and every corner now smells like marijuana. | ||
But that's not the only thing that's going on with this amendment, correct? | ||
No, exactly. | ||
And so first, these amendments get on the ballot. | ||
voters should think about they have a high burden to prove to you that this should be a part of the Constitution. | ||
Your default should be no. | ||
And if they could prove to you beyond any shadow of a doubt this is going to be good for Florida, then you could consider voting yes. | ||
But short of that, you should just vote no, because you can't change this by legislation. | ||
And on Amendment 3, people are already saying, oh, yeah, it's flawed, but the legislature changed it. | ||
No, no, no, no. | ||
Second, how did this get on the ballot? | ||
It got on the ballot because one mega weed corporation has sponsored it. | ||
The amendment was written by the CEO of the company. | ||
They poured $140 million into passing it, and CBS did not do a good job of explaining exactly what the amendment would do. | ||
So for example, and you see this throughout the amendment, how this is really a corporate scheme to guarantee them money rather than anything about freedom. | ||
So for example, You would have the right to possess and smoke marijuana, but only if you buy it from them. | ||
They do not include the right to grow your own marijuana. | ||
They put the right to grow it for themselves and these big companies, but not for you. | ||
So that's not really freedom if you have to buy it from them. | ||
Second thing is the freedom, as you mentioned, Floridians and a lot of Floridians don't want to do marijuana. | ||
Most of them aren't doing it, but they don't really care if people are doing it in their own home, but they don't want to necessarily have to see it in restaurants and parks and beaches and everything. | ||
This amendment does not do anything to limit public consumption. | ||
In fact, it says you have an unfettered constitutional right to smoke. | ||
So whatever's happened in New York, Denver, California, that'll happen in Florida times 10 because of the way this is written. | ||
So that is not honoring the freedom of people who just want to live in Florida and be free from this in our public spaces. | ||
But the most egregious thing that you'll see in there, CBS didn't put it in the caption you showed me. | ||
Indeed, the ballot summary does not talk about this. | ||
You actually have to read the text of the amendment, go on the Secretary of State's website, read it, because that's what's going to actually be part of the Constitution, not the ballot summary. | ||
They give themselves total immunity from civil liability. | ||
So, at all stages of their business operations, they can't be sued. | ||
They sell you defective weed, you can't sue them. | ||
They're transporting weed to one of their dispensaries, they run someone over, you can't sue them. | ||
That is like big pharma on steroids. | ||
I've never seen anything like this. | ||
You also have the issue of the premise of this in their commercials is people, you know, it's wrong. | ||
People shouldn't be rotting in prison because of marijuana. | ||
I can tell you in the state of Florida, in our entire state prison system, nobody is in prison for smoking marijuana or for possessing personal amounts of marijuana. | ||
They also say it's going to be a boon for tax revenue for schools and for law enforcement. | ||
There's not a single provision in this amendment that gives one red cent to education or to law enforcement. | ||
That's another red herring. | ||
And in fact, we're not writing on a blank slate here because when Colorado did this, you know, I honestly thought it was worth the experiment because people do smoke marijuana illegally, even though Florida, we have a very robust medical program. | ||
We've got almost a million people who have medical cards. | ||
Not all of those people have debilitating illnesses. | ||
I mean, let's just be honest with how this works. | ||
So it was like, okay, it's worth a try. | ||
You get rid of the black market, all this stuff. | ||
That did not happen in Colorado. | ||
The black market is bigger than it was prior to them doing the marijuana on the legal side. | ||
Same with California. | ||
So it hasn't really worked anywhere that this is done. | ||
The public space has been a huge issue. | ||
The black market's been a huge issue. | ||
Then you couple that with this as a horribly written amendment. | ||
So what I tell people is if you're against marijuana, obviously you vote no. | ||
If you're ambivalent against marijuana and you don't really care, just know marijuana's going to care about you the way this is written. | ||
It is going to be a part of Florida's public life, and you should vote no. | ||
But even if you're a weed enthusiast, I don't know a lot of these weed enthusiasts who want to empower a weed cartel. | ||
I mean, how many of them who really are enthusiastic about marijuana think the amendment is right to say you can buy it from them, but you can't grow your own? | ||
It doesn't make sense. | ||
So this is not good for Florida. | ||
It should not be in the Constitution either way. | ||
And I think as more people have found out about it, the support for it has gone down. | ||
All right. | ||
Well, thank you for the explanation. | ||
And again, just to be clear, I'm libertarian when it comes to what people want to do with their own bodies and what they want to put in their bodies and that sort of thing. | ||
But I think you've laid out the case why I will be voting no on three tomorrow. | ||
I actually vote on election day. | ||
I thought, you know, I'm old school in that way. | ||
Let's talk about Amendment 4 for a moment, because this is the other big one here in Florida. | ||
And this one, I think, is probably a little more relevant to what's going on nationally right now. | ||
This is also from CBS, so if they got anything wrong, please clean it up for me. | ||
Amendment 4 is a proposal to change Florida's constitution. | ||
It is titled, Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion, and states no law shall prohibit Penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect a patient's health as determined by the patient's healthcare provider. | ||
The amendment does not affect a current constitutional provision that permits a law requiring parents to be notified before a minor can receive an abortion. | ||
A yes vote on the amendment supports adding the right to abortion in Florida's Constitution, while a no vote opposes changing the Constitution and would keep Florida's current six-week abortion ban in place. | ||
The ban on most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they're pregnant, went into effect in May, nearly two years after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. | ||
Wade. | ||
Gov, let me mention one other thing before I have you chime in on this. | ||
This was one of the few issues that I think you and I had a little daylight on. | ||
I was actually okay. | ||
I think Florida had 12 or 15 weeks before you changed it. | ||
I was at an event with you before you changed it, and you said that you were in favor of the heartbeat bill, which then, of course, you passed. | ||
And you even said, to your credit, you said it might cost me electorally because it's obviously a controversial issue. | ||
That all aside, how do you feel? | ||
Well, I mean, since I know how you feel about this, but what do you make of how they're trying to push this forward? | ||
Well, first, I think it's important. | ||
So Florida had 15 week limit when Dobbs was decided, but because the entire Southeast from Texas to Georgia has pro-life legislation in place, we saw a massive increase in the number of abortions. | ||
And so we were basically the top abortion tourist destination In the Southeast and maybe even in the country, the heartbeat bill has reduced the number of abortions. | ||
But even under the heartbeat bill, there are thousands of abortions a month that take place in Florida, but there are thousands fewer that would otherwise happen if we had the 15 weeks. | ||
And so that has defended life, I think, in a way that's meaningful. | ||
So I'd say a couple things on this. | ||
One, who's behind it? | ||
This is Soros, all those groups, far left. | ||
The 1630 Fund, which they've put $16 million in, funded by a foreign billionaire. | ||
All the cast of characters from the left are coming to do this. | ||
They don't define any of the terms. | ||
If you read the amendment, they don't tell you what each individual term means. | ||
That enough is a reason to vote no on it. | ||
But if you read it, And you know how they would argue in court. | ||
They would basically say there's no real meaningful limit on when an abortion could be performed. | ||
I mean, I think a lot of people have varying views. | ||
I mean, you have people that think there should be, you know, limitations, protection for unborn at certain stages. | ||
Others may think it should be a little later, but everyone believes there should be some limit. | ||
To when a non-medically necessary abortion can be performed because people care about, of course, the mother and the health and well-being of the mother, but also the fact that there's another life at stake here. | ||
And so people can argue about when to draw that line. | ||
Amendment 4 would erase the line. | ||
And I think even more troubling than that, if you read the text of it, it allows a, quote, health care provider to green light in a late-term abortion up until the moment of birth. | ||
It's usually said by people that aren't pro-life, hey, you know, we don't necessarily want, we think abortion should be rare, but we don't want legal protections for the unborn because they say it should be the mother and the doctor making the determination apart from any type of legal protections or limitations. | ||
The problem is this amendment does not say doctor. | ||
It does not say physician. | ||
So it would empower non-physicians To potentially be quarterbacking these abortion clinics, you could have that be late term. | ||
And so they're displacing the role of the doctor in ways that I think is very radical and I don't think was done in California or Colorado or some of those other places. | ||
It also eliminates Florida's parental consent requirement. | ||
And you notice what they talk about is notification. | ||
That's a bait and switch. | ||
Notifying a parent that a non-physician has greenlit a late-term abortion for your minor child is not the same as the parent consenting. | ||
So in Florida, they can't give your kid a Tylenol without parental consent, but if this passes, somehow Even a late-term abortion authorized by a non-physician would be able to be done without parental consent. | ||
Final thing I would just say is, in Michigan, something similar passed. | ||
Immediately, the left, ACLU, went in and sued and said, taxpayers are required to fund these abortions. | ||
Even though the amendment didn't say that, they said, hey, this is a fundamental right. | ||
You can't be a bridge on the basis of income. | ||
That will happen in Florida. | ||
If this passes, they will go into court. | ||
They will argue in front of a liberal judge and likely win that that's the case. | ||
And I don't think even regardless of where you are in the abortion debate, this is not something that we want taxpayers funding. | ||
And then just finally, kind of how all this has gone down. | ||
First of all, support for this has gone down. | ||
I think we're in great shape to be able to defeat it. | ||
In arguing why vote for Amendment 4. | ||
They never tell you what Amendment 4 actually does. | ||
All the things I laid out, they never talk about that. | ||
Right, of course. | ||
What they talk about are women who are raped, which Florida has an exception for that. | ||
Florida has an exception for incest, life and health of the mother, victims of human trafficking. | ||
So they focus on those things, which are not an issue with Florida law anyways. | ||
And then they talk about if a woman has a miscarriage or topic pregnancy, which again, Not only does Florida law, it would make no sense to do anything to limit that, but if a doctor would not provide care in that situation, they'd be committing medical malpractice. | ||
So their entire campaign on this has been arguing against provisions of law that do not exist in the state of Florida. | ||
And so I think it's been very dishonest. | ||
That has been exposed, which is, I think, one of the reasons why a lot of voters have turned away from Amendment 4 because then they polled it, you know, three months ago was like 67 percent. | ||
Same with the weed. | ||
You've seen that really come down a lot because, like, look, let's have an honest debate about it. | ||
Florida law is very clear. | ||
Abortions are available until the unborn child has a heartbeat. | ||
And with exceptions for rape, incest, life and health of the mother, and victims of human trafficking. | ||
And of course, things like miscarriage and ectopathy. | ||
That has nothing even to do with abortion. | ||
So there's no limitation on a mother needing that type of health care. | ||
So argue about why you want to have late-term abortions. | ||
Argue about why you want to take away parental consent. | ||
They don't want to do that. | ||
I think they think if they can just lie that somehow that will work. | ||
But, you know, we've called them on the lies, and I think that it's hurt them. | ||
Because when you put on ads that people know are not true, it tends to erode your credibility with the voters. | ||
Well, as I said, although you and I have a little bit of a difference in terms of the week, and that's fully fine for both of us, I will be voting no on both three and on four. | ||
Governor, I thank you for your time. | ||
In under 10 seconds, are you feeling good about tomorrow? | ||
Yes, I think that this is a failed administration. | ||
Harris is the VP. She cannot say what she would have done different from Joe Biden. | ||
She is not the change candidate, and I don't think the American people are going to sign up for four more years of this nonsense. | ||
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, next time in person, my friend. | ||
Okay, let's do it. | ||

|
If you can hear me, I can't hear you. | |
There we go. | ||
Dr. | ||
Phil, I just introed you, and I said you're the CEO of Merritt Street Media. | ||
Is that technically correct, or are you just a doctor and someone else is running the operation? | ||
Actually, I'm not. | ||
Maybe I am, I'm not sure. | ||
I'm certainly in control. | ||
Fair enough. | ||
And you definitely are a doctor. | ||
Well, I thought, so we just sat down with Governor Ron DeSantis for 20 minutes, who of course ran against Donald Trump in the primary. | ||
I thought that would be an interesting way to start the show today. | ||
And then I thought having you on in the middle before Glenn Beck, who was radically anti-Trump in 2016, then came around on Trump similar to me. | ||
I thought having you in the middle would be interesting because I was at MSG last week where you spoke and you got one of the best applause and I thought the audience was most engaged with you up there because you said something that I think really resonates with people. | ||
You would have given the exact same speech had you been invited to a Kamala Harris rally. | ||
However, you are just not invited to a Kamala Harris rally. | ||
As I mentioned up top, you've been largely apolitical, I would say, for the last 30 years or so, but suddenly this has all come home to the issues you care about. | ||
I guess that's why you're suddenly at MSG with Donald Trump? | ||
Well, you know, I consider myself, look, I knew exactly what was gonna happen when I did that, and let me tell you the thought that went into it, because it wasn't a knee-jerk reaction. | ||
I've often times been criticized not for what I say, but where I say it. | ||
And I think that happens to people a lot. | ||
And you're right. | ||
I did offer to make the same speech at a Harris rally. | ||
I offered to cross out Trump's name on the transcript. | ||
Write in Harris's name and give the identical speech. | ||
And after I gave that speech, I was contacted by someone at the Harris camp. | ||
Not me directly, but my producer, Sarah Carden, in writing. | ||
And they said, is he serious? | ||
He will come give that speech because if he will, we're interested in him coming to the DC rally and doing that. | ||
She said, absolutely. | ||
Just tell us where you want him and when, and he will be there. | ||
As soon as she confirmed that, it was crickets. | ||
I've reached out to the Harris side Over 25 times trying to get a sit-down interview with her I've offered to do it with my wife and I talking to she and her husband whatever People we've gone informally through formal channels through the White House every possible way To talk to her and here's the thing Dave there is a strategy afoot I think because They know that I talk about cultural, | ||
not political issues. | ||
And I'm not trying to be false humility here. | ||
I'm not really very well versed in the intricacies of policy and political dynamics. | ||
But I am about cultural issues. | ||
And we did everything we could to try to get an interview with her. | ||
And they just absolutely would not. | ||
Which is their right. | ||
But here's the strategy. | ||
You can't take me off the chessboard by not talking to me. | ||
So you can't say, look, we're not going to talk to him, so therefore he can't talk to the other side, or he's cast totally with the other side. | ||
That's not true. | ||
If that's the case, then not talking to him means I can't talk to the other side. | ||
That's not true. | ||
I'm going to talk to whoever will talk to me. | ||
And I offered to do the speech at the Harris rally and at the Trump rally. | ||
And you know, if you were there, I wish I could have seen you. | ||
But, number one, I didn't like a lot of the things I heard said by a lot of the people that went ahead of me. | ||
I didn't hear them all, but I heard a lot of vitriol that I thought was not helpful. | ||
And I started the speech by saying, I don't like everything Donald Trump says or does. | ||
And I don't. | ||
And I think a lot of people, if they're honest, don't like a lot of things that he says and does. | ||
And there are a lot of things he does that I really like, but I don't like everything he says or does. | ||
And I said, I'm not here to stand up for Donald Trump. | ||
I'm here to stand up for the people that are coming out and saying they're voting for him and getting marginalized, ostracized, canceled, attacked, Online, at their jobs, et cetera. | ||
And that's just straight out bullying. | ||
And that's something I do know something about, and I don't like bullies. | ||
So I wanna connect what you just said right there with I think something else that's happening with the Harris campaign, which is that they seem unable to actually explain their ideas in a functional way, which is why at first they kind of hid her, then they gave her some very controlled interviews that didn't go that well. | ||
I don't know if you've seen this, it's about a 15 second clip that's going really viral right now, sort of illustrating How manufactured the whole thing is. | ||
Take a look. | ||
unidentified
|
Anybody here already voted? | |
Oh my goodness! | ||
That's great! | ||
Thank you! | ||
Dr. | ||
Phil, I think sort of the fake emotion there, I think, is the thing. | ||
Donald Trump, for all the flaws you mentioned, it's real. | ||
It's real when he goes off prompter. | ||
It's obvious. | ||
And I think the fake laugh, the fake over emotion, all of that stuff, that's what people are seeing through right now. | ||
And I think people have kind of had it. | ||
Well, you know, I really do feel uncomfortable with a lot of that. | ||
I don't understand. | ||
If you're going to run for President of the United States, I think you have to have transparency. | ||
I think you have to have authenticity. | ||
And there are a lot of people that know her well inside the Democratic Party, the Democrat Party. | ||
And they have approached her and said, look, we've known Dr. | ||
Phil for a long time. | ||
And there's one thing you can bet. | ||
He's going to ask you relevant questions about how this is going to impact things like affordability, And security and the border and things that matter. | ||
But you can bet this, he would never disrespect the office of the Vice President of the United States, just like he'll never disrespect the office of the President of the United States. | ||
That's a bad look internationally. | ||
And he's a traditionalist, and he would never, ever do that. | ||
So you're not going to get ambushed. | ||
You'll know what he's going to ask you about, but yet still won't sit down and have a very forthright, legitimate interview. | ||
And I don't understand what that's all about. | ||
People who have nothing to hide, hide nothing. | ||
And I just don't understand why there's all this affectation and running away from a legitimate interview. | ||
So I want to get your take on this because Ben Shapiro was on Bill Barr's Club Random podcast, which we've both been on before and had these conversations with Bill. | ||
And Bill obviously is not voting for Trump, but he has taken some positions that, yeah, I know, I know, I got it, I got it. | ||
We've tried, we tried, we really did, both of us, and Ben certainly did as well. | ||
But obviously he's not going that way. | ||
And they got into an interesting discussion where Bill basically admitted he's willing to vote for all of the policies that he's against as long as it stops Trump. | ||
Take a look. | ||
You really think the hellscape that would be America would be worse under Kamala? | ||
All the woke stuff, I mean, this is last week's editorial that I did, and this week, they both kind of have the same theme, which is that, Kamala, you need to convince the undecided voter that you're not a stealth Are you convinced? | ||
No, but I would take that even over as much baggage comes with that. | ||
It's still better than the guy who doesn't concede elections, loves Putin, loves autocracy, fundamentally doesn't understand. | ||
That's the linchpin to America, the peaceful transference of power. | ||
No, I don't think he would ever give it up. | ||
I don't think he would ever say, I lost. | ||
unidentified
|
You've asked me, you know, if Trump does all these things, will you admit it? | |
Yes. | ||
And I said, okay, so if Kamala turns out, if she wins, and she turns out to be just as stealthily woke as I fear she will be, and if she pursues the bad kind of foreign policy that I think she will, I assume that you'll also come forward and say that- What I will admit is that she was a stealth woke nut. | ||
I will not admit, because I haven't said it now and never have and never would, that that is yet worse than not conceding an election. | ||
That to me is the absolute bottom. | ||
unidentified
|
To be fair, if we're going to put it in people's lap, then the bet is basically, do you think there's a better chance that Donald Trump ends up being a Hitlerian tyrannical dictator who overruns all the boundaries of power, or do you think that there's a better chance that Kamala Harris is going to be a stealth woke nut who runs America into a ditch? | |
So we cut the clip there, but obviously Bill, in essence, says, I'm voting for Kamala no matter what. | ||
Dr. | ||
Phil, I mean, my gut feeling here is that it's not a gut feeling. | ||
I think it's fairly obvious. | ||
This isn't stealth. | ||
It kind of is what it is with her, and that is what she represents. | ||
But what do you make of Bill's position there? | ||
Because you've sat in that chair with him. | ||
I've sat in that chair with him. | ||
Many others. | ||
We've all tried. | ||
I always say to my audience, it doesn't matter which way Bill Maher himself is voting. | ||
He actually at least is having these conversations and lefties are hearing it. | ||
So that is a net positive. | ||
Well, first I have to say, I really give Bill credit for the fact that he's actually discussing these things and taking a lot of heat from the left for Calling out some of the things that he's calling out. | ||
And he gets a lot of criticism for it. | ||
But he's willing to say, look, this is going too far. | ||
This is woke nut. | ||
And I think that him doing that really helps. | ||
And when I hear what he's saying, you know, there's a lot of, I think, hyperbole in there about, you know, People call Trump Hitler. | ||
They've actually, since I gave that speech at the Trump rally, they've gone online and said the same thing about me. | ||
And I'm probably one of, maybe not the most outspoken ally and advocate against these pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas demonstrations on our elite university campuses. | ||
Of anybody in America. | ||
And yet they're advocating for the Jewish community and the Israeli state. | ||
And there were plenty of Israeli flags at that rally too, which would not be happening at a Kamala Harris rally. | ||
That's just a fact. | ||
It's a sad fact. | ||
I don't get it. | ||
And you know, I think people get caught up in all of this rhetoric and don't stop and actually think, you know, when you're calling somebody Hitler, We're talking about somebody that massacred 6 million human beings. | ||
And to throw that term around like that about somebody is... | ||
That's beyond hyperbole. | ||
That's just ridiculous. | ||
And I hate that we've really gotten into that sort of rhetoric and thrown it around. | ||
And then people take that and run with it. | ||
I have to be careful what I say on the air. | ||
You know, 50% of this country believes you spank children and 50% think you don't. | ||
I never can even say you should spank a child if you're suppressing their behavior when they're running into traffic and you see them when they're two or three years old. | ||
Because I know there are mouth breathers in this country who will then abuse their children and say, well, Dr. | ||
Phil said it's okay to spank your children. | ||
I can't even say something as benign as that because I know people will run away with it, and here they are out using that kind of rhetoric. | ||
So let's connect this to the other side here, which is the Kamala campaign, because in this last week, they have just ramped it up. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
I wish it wasn't the case. | ||
I wish there were honest arguments being made, but we have a little compilation of some of the things being said from the left at the moment. | ||
unidentified
|
One second, guys. | |
one second because we're gonna make sure we have Kamala Harris in office for a year Thank you. | ||
My daughter, my wife, my mother, you know, and things of that nature. | ||
What she believes in when it comes to women's rights, when it comes to the future, you know, with my kids and where I see our country should be. | ||
You know, I feel like that enforcement is only right. | ||
Look at this. | ||
Damn sure it won't go the other way. | ||
It gave me a chance to tie the Republicans running in these seats, the incumbents, closer to Donald Trump and remind everybody if you're voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for someone who supports Donald Trump, and you're anti-woman, you're anti-abortion, and basically you're anti-American because you have just trashed American values. | ||
What I talked to young men about who might be taken by the fun side of Donald Trump, such as it is, the dancing, the going to the wrestling matches, going on the podcasts, and trying to portray himself as someone who he really is. | ||
And I think Cardi B called this out and said it's just all a hustle. | ||
Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. | ||
Ever. | ||
It's just that simple. | ||
In case people missed it, the reason we showed you the Cardi B thing up top is that the teleprompter broke. | ||
And this is a woman who just weeks ago was going off on Kamala Harris. | ||
Suddenly, and some people are saying it has something to do with the P. Diddy parties. | ||
I have no idea. | ||
Suddenly she's out there promoting Harris, but couldn't do it without the prompter. | ||
But Dr. | ||
Phil, this general concept, putting aside the Hitler and Nazi stuff, that they're coming for the women, that Republicans hate women. | ||
Mitt Romney had a binder full of women and they'd still hate him now. | ||
What do we do about this? | ||
I mean, my mother's a woman, my sister's a woman. | ||
I don't know which way they're voting. | ||
Well, my sister's definitely voting Trump, but the point is I'm for women and I'm voting for Trump. | ||
Well, that's the thing. | ||
I think we've gotten to the point that people are really getting into this identity politics where there might be a legitimate point that you kind of sign up to support, and then the next thing you know, you're supposed to be for everything associated with that side of the ticket. | ||
And you don't stop to realize I've been railroaded into a whole lot of ideology here that I never really evaluated and couldn't give you a support for, couldn't give you a bullet point outline of why I'm saying these things at all. | ||
Because, look, we're not all one way or other. | ||
Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, people have their own values. | ||
For example, I believe very strongly that the backbone of this country is family. | ||
I think that's true if you're a Republican or a Democrat. | ||
I teach negotiation a lot. | ||
I've worked with law enforcement and I've worked with different entities and factors, spent a lot of my professional career in litigation. | ||
I've always said, if you're going to try to settle a dispute, the first thing you should do is sit down and say, what is it we agree on? | ||
We can talk about our differences in a minute, but first, let's talk about what we agree on. | ||
And I don't think we're nearly as divided as the legacy media is peddling. | ||
I think if you've got Democrats and Republicans to sit down and they could only talk about the things they agree on, they could not talk about what they disagree on, and They had to spend a few hours doing that. | ||
I think you would be really surprised. | ||
Everybody wants a healthy America. | ||
Everybody wants a good economy. | ||
Everybody wants safety and security. | ||
Everybody wants their children to have a better life when they grow up than we had. | ||
Everybody wants to have clean water and green grass. | ||
A future where they know that their children can have their own family and a good future. | ||
Everybody wants to be safe and secure. | ||
It's just a difference of let's talk about how we get there. | ||
But nobody sits down and talks about what we agree on because it doesn't sell tickets. | ||
There's no conflict. | ||
There's no drama. | ||
So instead of talking about what they agree on, they have to create all of these sparks by talking about what they disagree on. | ||
We'll have more with Dr. | ||
Phil, but first, an ad from Beam. | ||

So, Doc, to your point about what we can agree on, I think most of us can agree that we should be healthy. | ||
We should have better ingredients in our food and know where our food is coming from and clean grass or clean water and green grass, as you said. | ||
J.D. Vance went on Joe Rogan's podcast and they talked about that. | ||
It's so bananas. | ||
Like, even being healthy. | ||
Fitness. | ||
Fitness. | ||
They're connecting fitness with a right-wing idea. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, and it raises one of my sort of core political beliefs is that our politics is focused on fake shit and distractions to distract us from the real stuff, right? | ||
And so if I'm looking at the environmental movement in the United States of America, and I don't even have like strong views on what the carbon footprint ultimately does. | ||
I'm sort of skeptical of the experts here, but I'm also skeptical of the other side. | ||
I just don't really know what I think about this. | ||
I think it's insane to try to eliminate fossil fuels. | ||
That's kind of a belief that I have. | ||
But it's interesting that the environmental movement in America, the only thing that it talks about is the carbon footprint. | ||
And it never talks about like, oh, why do we have the highest rates of obesity in the world right now? | ||
Right. | ||
Why is it that American kids spend less time outdoors in nature than they ever have in the history of our 250 year civilization? | ||
There's this weird way in which we get distracted by the fake stuff. | ||
I should be clear. | ||
I don't think either one of them were on speed. | ||
That was just a doubled-up video that we got there. | ||
Unless you have a different diagnosis, maybe. | ||
But is that the point, that what RFK has now done by injecting this idea that we should be talking about things, That that might be the widening of the tent that we need more than anything else. | ||
So someone who maybe is a little bit afraid of Trump for whatever their reasons might be, they might look at the ingredients in their children's cereal and say, boy, we really do have to do something about this. | ||
Well, I certainly hope so. | ||
And I think a lot of people have written RFK Jr. | ||
off because of some pretty wild sounding conspiracy theories that He has been painted with that brush, at least. | ||
But, you know, if you actually sit down and talk with this man, and I have both on camera and off, and really look at the research behind what he says, we truly do have the ability to change the health of America, | ||
and we can do it in a generation, because the The actual ingredients in the food that we're eating, research tells us very strongly that this changed back in the late 80s and early 90s and chronic diseases in children just skyrocketed to the point that we're now spending more money on managing chronic disease than I think our defense budget. | ||
And this is something that we have, it's self-inflicted wound. | ||
And this is something that we can change. | ||
And him being so adamant about this and if he gets an opportunity to have a voice and really cause some changes on that front with the FDA and the CDC and some of the agencies that regulate this, I think we can see a dramatic change. | ||
We're actually moving the wrong direction on life expectancy. | ||
And I've really spent some time studying this because I was going to interview him and I wanted to know what was really there. | ||
And we have what we call a brain room where people do fact checking and deep dive research on people that I'm going to interview and on things that I'm going to say. | ||
And they came back and said, let me tell you, you need to read this because what he's talking about is factually correct. | ||
And I was really surprised And awakened by what he was talking about. | ||
But the good news is, these are things we have something that we can do about. | ||
It's not just like, oh boy, did we blow that one so now we're screwed. | ||
That's not true. | ||
We can change this and we can change it right now. | ||
Right, and if we elect Donald Trump tomorrow, it sounds like RFK is gonna have a major role in this. | ||
Check out this tweet from the weekend that RFK put up. | ||
On January 20th, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water. | ||
Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis. | ||
Bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease. | ||
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump want to make America healthy again. | ||
To me, look, I'm not a scientist, so I can't sit here and verify the veracity of all of those claims. | ||
But what I can say is the fact that we're having this conversation now And that is what has widened up the tent. | ||
I think it's exactly why you got the response at the rally that you did, because it wasn't just Hulk Hogan going up there and waving the flag, which that may have been the highlight for me, but it was something wider than is traditionally Republican. | ||
And to that point, I wanna show you this ad that's going up right now that I think really is a perfect example of what America could be on the other side of this. | ||
What will we do with this moment? | ||
unidentified
|
How will we be remembered? | |
Look at the opportunities before us. | ||
This election really isn't about the left versus the right. | ||
It's about we the people choosing our government and the choice between freedom versus tyranny. | ||
Nobody has a chronic disease burden like we have. | ||
Why are we allowing this to happen to our children? | ||
Ultimately, the only thing that will save our country is if we choose to love our kids more than we hate each other. | ||
unidentified
|
What is going on here is deeper than politics. | |
It is deeply spiritual. | ||
We are being called to rise above the hatred and the fear and the evil. | ||
We need to remember above and beyond that we must love our neighbors, that we must treat other people as we hope to be treated. | ||
You want to be a rebel? | ||
unidentified
|
You want to be a hippie? | |
You want to stick it to the man? | ||
Show up on your college campus and try calling yourself a conservative. | ||
America is going to reach heights that it has never seen before. | ||
The future is going to be amazing. | ||
Don't you want healthy children? | ||
Don't you want a president that's going to make America healthy again? | ||
I come to you today as a former Democrat. | ||
I will be a first time Trump voter tonight. | ||
The people dreamed this country. | ||
And it's the people who are making America great again. | ||
Making that! | ||
Dr. | ||
Phil, I was 50-50 on showing that because, you know, showing a campaign ad in the middle of a show can feel a little thin or propagandistic or something like that. | ||
But I thought it illustrates the right point, that what is happening here now is beyond politics and that people are not just voting for Donald Trump. | ||
They're voting for RFK and for Tulsi and for Elon and I suspect for Dr. | ||
Phil, if he got the call, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
So are you, how are you feeling right now with 24 hours to go? | ||
Well, you know, I'm feeling like people need to hear what I've said many times, which is you hear people say, just get out and vote, get out and vote, get out and vote. | ||
And I think that's a real bad idea. | ||
I think the alternative, what you need to do alternatively is get out and make an informed vote. | ||
Informed vote, not just vote, which means take a moment. | ||
Really hear this. | ||
Take a moment and sit down and think, what's really important to me and what's really important to my family, my community, and ask yourself, which side of this, and not just from the top down, but from the bottom up, where is my vote going to impact this country in the most positive way? | ||
Don't be intimidated by one side or the other. | ||
Ask yourself seriously what it is I think is important for this country to move in the right direction because we have some things going on that I think are really dangerous for the future of this country. | ||
And you can decide whether those are Trump policies or Harris policies, but you need to ask yourself I'm very troubled that 49% of the evangelical community says they're not even likely to vote because they don't like either candidate or because they don't think it'll matter. | ||
Let me tell you, we are in a cultural war right now, and everyone is a combatant. | ||
Everybody has a role. | ||
You don't have the right to To be in this country and not participate in determining its future. | ||
You have to make an informed vote. | ||
Find out what's important. | ||
You know what's important to you. | ||
Find out who is most aligned with your beliefs, and you need to get out and vote that way. | ||
And we just simply can't be on the sidelines. | ||
Make an informed vote. | ||
And, you know, I've said before that one of the most important days in this country in my lifetime was 9-12-2001. | ||
That was the day after those airplanes hit the buildings. | ||
Because on that morning of 9-12, we were all Americans. | ||
We all came together and we wanted what was best for this country. | ||
And that's what needs to happen right now. | ||
We need to forget about identity politics, forget about Democrat or Republican, and say, What's best for America? | ||
What's best for the future, for my children, for all of us? | ||
And we need to go out and make an informed vote. | ||
And that's what I think needs to happen. | ||
And I hope that's what people will do. | ||
Don't sit on the sidelines and don't vote what you're told to vote. | ||
Make an informed vote about what you think is important. | ||
Dr. | ||
Phil, I told you the first time that we spoke about a year ago that about 25 years ago I was struggling with some stuff and I saw this guy on Oprah and he was just kind of laying it out cleanly and clearly and you helped me pick up some pieces so it's always a pleasure talking to you and let's pick this up again after the election. | ||
Well, I hope to do that. | ||
You're doing some important work, and your voice is really great. | ||
I listened to you interviewing Governor DeSantis, and I was just absolutely locked onto the screen while you were doing that. | ||
So you're asking smart questions, and you're not afraid to talk about anything, whether you agree or disagree. | ||
So keep doing what you're doing, man. | ||
I'm a big fan. | ||
Let's save the country. | ||
All right, we've got Glenn Beck on the other side. | ||
Thanks again, Dr. | ||

And first, let me talk to you about Rumble Premium. | ||
When Rumble first started in 2013, they built the platform for the small creator. | ||
They didn't censor or have biases. | ||
They were fair and treated all creators equally. | ||
No one thought platforms would censor political conversation or censor opinions around COVID, but they did. | ||
But they did. | ||
Facebook admitted they fell to pressure from the Biden and Harris administration. | ||
Facebook admitted they fell to pressure from the Biden and Harris administration. | ||
Of course, Rumble did not. | ||
Of course, Rumble did not. | ||
They held the line. | ||
They held the line. | ||
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. | ||
All right, let's continue this star-studded episode of The Rubin Report, which I believe is officially the longest episode of The Rubin Report ever. | ||
It is my old friend, Glenn Beck, once my ideological opponent, and now we find ourselves on the same side of almost everything. | ||
How are you, Ben? | ||
Everything's upside down, Dave. | ||
Everything's upside down. | ||
How are you, my friend? | ||
I'm great. | ||
I am great. | ||
Enjoyed that segment with Dr. | ||
Phil. | ||
Well, if you're great, then I'm going to guess you're feeling good about things. | ||
We're going to get into some of the granular stuff, but are you feeling good today? | ||
I'm feeling good today. | ||
Check me in 20 minutes. | ||
I go back and forth on this whole thing. | ||
I would be very confident if this was just any other time period than this one. | ||
Everything goes to... | ||
The opponent of the incumbent. | ||
Historically, everything should go the other direction. | ||
But I don't know. | ||
And I don't know how much cheating is going to be involved. | ||
I don't know. | ||
And you're clearly dressed for the revolution if things don't go our way. | ||
I'm feeling good about things. | ||
Before we dive into a couple of the clips that I want to catch up with you on, there's something interesting. | ||
The reason that I wanted to have you and Dr. | ||
Phil and Governor DeSantis on today is because Governor DeSantis, obviously a Republican. | ||
Trump backed him. | ||
Then he ran against him in the primary, but he's backing him now. | ||
Then you have Dr. | ||
Phil, who's been basically apolitical his entire life, and even in that interview, largely apolitical. | ||
And then you have you, who, like me, did not, even though I was a lefty at the time, you were a conservative, but you did not back Trump in 2016. | ||
We both did in 2020, and I'm backing him more than ever right now. | ||
I think you are, too. | ||
And that evolution, the thing that's sort of bringing all of these people together, that's what I really wanna focus on for the next 24 hours to the extent that I have any influence in any of this. | ||
And that feels pretty good, doesn't it? | ||
Yeah, it does. | ||
And I think I could go further than even where I was. | ||
I am at the point where I think Donald Trump Mm-hmm. | ||
You know, we met in 2016. | ||
He's admitted that I screwed things up the first time, but I've learned from it. | ||
I know this system now inside and out. | ||
So he's done his homework and now he's surrounding himself with big thinkers and they don't all have to be in lockstep with him. | ||
I think he is a little concerned about RFK on the environment. | ||
But he knows he's locked in on the CDC and other things, you know, FDA, that are so important. | ||
Elon Musk, when Elon Musk said in that commercial you played, which is probably my favorite commercial since Morning in America, when he says America's future is bright, that's the first time I've heard that in a campaign ad in years. | ||
And... | ||
We have the clearest choice we've ever had. | ||
You can do more of this and more of socialism and control and big government, or we can go in another direction. | ||
The change agent is Donald Trump. | ||
So all of that being said, the story of the weekend was about a squirrel. | ||
I know. | ||
Welcome to clown world. | ||
unidentified
|
It is truly clown world. | |
And allow us to explain the story of Peanut the squirrel who's not with us anymore and how this relates to the election. | ||
Go. | ||
unidentified
|
We just learned that they have euthanized Peanut. | |
And the raccoon as well. | ||
And the raccoon as well. | ||
I am so sorry. | ||
unidentified
|
This must be really difficult for you. | |
It not only tears my family apart, but Peanut was the cornerstone of our nonprofit, Animal Rescue. | ||
And 10 to 12 DEC officers raided my house as if I was a drug dealer. | ||
I was sat outside my house for five hours. | ||
I had to get a police escort to my bathroom. | ||
I wasn't even allowed to feed my rescue horses breakfast or lunch. | ||
I was sat there, like a criminal, after they interrogated my wife to check out her immigration status, then proceeded to ask me if I had cameras in my house, then proceeded to go through every cabinet, nook and cranny of my house for a squirrel and a raccoon. | ||
They got a search warrant? | ||
unidentified
|
They got a search warrant. | |
Four departments and a judge signed off on a search warrant for a squirrel and a raccoon. | ||
And then they took them and killed them. | ||
Why did they go through all that to get a search warrant for an animal that had been with you very safely and the world witnessed this for seven years? | ||
Why now suddenly did they show up with a search warrant and take these animals? | ||
We haven't a clue. | ||
We don't know who made the complaints. | ||
Again, Peanut was an indoor squirrel not harming anybody. | ||
He's been with us for seven years. | ||
Not a single complaint was ever filed for this animal. | ||
We had him for seven and a half years. | ||
He became the world's most famous squirrel. | ||
We weren't hiding him by any means. | ||
He was all over TikTok. | ||
He became the first squirrel on TikTok to ever hit a million followers. | ||
He did every news station around the world. | ||
He's helped people. | ||
He's helped kids gather joy. | ||
And then we started a non-profit animal rescue called Peanuts Freedom Farm to help animals like Peanuts fight a good fight when they're in a neglected case or they're sitting in a slaughter auction. | ||
And he was the cornerstone of our life and our organization. | ||
We used his platform to help raise money for the 300 animals we have at our sanctuary. | ||
Glenn, I'd like to read a quote that I just heard. | ||
He became the first squirrel on TikTok to have a million followers. | ||
There's obviously something funny about this story in that we're talking about a squirrel, but there is actually something quite dark and disturbing that goes exactly to what we are all fighting against. | ||
And it happens to be what you've been screaming about for 30 years. | ||
If you don't know Peanut the Squirrel story, if you just saw everybody up in arms, Peanut the Squirrel, you think this is clown world. | ||
However... | ||
This is exactly what this election is all about. | ||
Every bit of it, it makes sense that this is the biggest story. | ||
Four agencies. | ||
Now remember, Venezuelan gangs everywhere. | ||
Things on the border everywhere. | ||
Four agencies and a judge signed off on a warrant to search this guy's house. | ||
So then they came in like SWAT. What is that all about? | ||
Like SWAT, they searched... | ||
They found the squirrel and the raccoon. | ||
The squirrel bit the guy, as I would have if he came into my house and my dog would bite you, bit the guy, so they had to euthanize. | ||
But they did it with big government. | ||
They did it on an anonymous source, so we know it's a Karen. | ||
It was probably against their stance on MAGA, because he was a MAGA squirrel apparently. | ||
I didn't check if he could vote, but he was a MAGA squirrel. | ||
He could definitely vote in California. | ||
Yes, he can. | ||
So we have all of that, the silencing, the spying neighbor, the big state taking away your right to, what, just have a squirrel? | ||
What danger was this? | ||
This is what this election is all about. | ||
Right. | ||
That's why I wanted to show the clip and have you comment on it, because it's catching the internet and all that, because it's about a squirrel that was killed, and a raccoon, by the way, that didn't hurt anybody also before this. | ||
But what we seem to be all against right now is this giant, monstrous government that keeps becoming more inefficient and more terrible at virtually everything, yet what they are using... | ||
Go ahead, go ahead. | ||
No, it's why you live in Florida, no longer California. | ||
You witnessed it firsthand. | ||
You tried to get me to Dallas. | ||
Do you want a state to tell you exactly what to do, how to live, what to eat, what to drive, what you can buy, what you can't buy? | ||
Do you want that state? | ||
Because that's what Kamala Harris wants. | ||
So, since their ideas seem to be pretty thin these days, what they have left is basically calling us all racist and sexist. | ||
Here is Maryland governor, who's a Democrat, of course, Wes Moore, talking about Kamala's biggest obstacles. | ||
You're not going to believe what they are. | ||
Which do you think is a bigger obstacle to Kamala Harris being the next president of the United States? | ||
unidentified
|
Her race or her gender? | |
I don't think you can separate that because I think, you know, we have a two-headed problem in the United States that racism and sexism both still very much exist inside this country. | ||
And we know that the bar continues to be higher for her when you're seeing the type of campaign and type of antics that Donald Trump is running that people seem to not care about. | ||
And so I think you're dealing with kind of this two-headed monster of racism and sexism. | ||
Glenn, I have to say, with your head down in shame, I have to say my criticism actually isn't of Wes Moore. | ||
He's just given us standard Democrat 101 there. | ||
That's it, you're racist, you're sexist. | ||
My criticism is of Chris Matthews. | ||
To frame the question that way, I cannot stand Kamala Harris, and it has nothing to do with her gender or her skin color. | ||
If she had proper policies, I would be supporting her, and those things notwithstanding, obviously, and yet this is where we're at. | ||
So it is truly amazing to me because I thought the same thing. | ||
What a stupid question from supposedly a smart journalist. | ||
Nobody is thinking that except perhaps Barack Obama and others like him. | ||
Nobody is actually going out. | ||
I have a theory, you know, they say that, you know, black men don't want to vote for Kamala Harris. | ||
I don't know if that's just black men. | ||
I think white men and Asian men, because we've all heard that tone before. | ||
She's got this tone that Hillary Clinton had, that you just... | ||
Don't sit there and be holier than thou to me. | ||
Don't talk down to me. | ||
Don't treat me like I'm in kindergarten. | ||
Don't treat me that way. | ||
And I don't know if women can hear it, but men certainly can hear that attitude coming their way. | ||
That, but more importantly, like you said, what policies, Dave? | ||
What policies? | ||
What policies? | ||
Policies. | ||
There's a story today, where was it? | ||
I can't remember which paper it was in, but there was a story that came out today that if she wins, this is the kind of candidate you're going to get, one that gives you zero details. | ||
I mean, you want to talk about a celebrity contest, that's all this is about. | ||
Dr. | ||
Phil just said, you know, really think this through. | ||
Think what through. | ||
You don't know what she's going to do. | ||
No idea. | ||
I think what you're referencing, there was a video, I think it's from this morning or from yesterday, where they asked Kamala about which amendments she voted on in California. | ||
And she won't even say what amendments she voted on as it relates to crime and prosecution. | ||
And she's like, well, it's the Sunday before the election. | ||
I don't want to influence the election. | ||
It's like, lady, do you know what job you're running for? | ||
It's rather extraordinary. | ||
But speaking of extraordinary. | ||
I don't want to influence them. | ||
You wouldn't want the President of the United States to influence the presidential election. | ||
No, no. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
Glenn, you'll appreciate this. | ||
I'm sure you've seen all the Lethal Weapon movies. | ||
I feel like I've become Danny Glover in all of the Lethal Weapon movies. | ||
You know what his catchphrase was in all the movies? | ||
I'm getting too old for this shit. | ||
That's me, basically. | ||
And I'm only 48. | ||
And every morning, I'm like, I'm getting too old for this shit. | ||
Speaking! | ||
Of the shit I'm getting too old for. | ||
You just mentioned Obama. | ||
We played this clip at the top of the show, but I'd love your take on this because he was campaigning for Kamala in Wisconsin and he did the very fine people thing again. | ||
I cannot believe it. | ||
And yet it's like profoundly obvious. | ||
Go. | ||
unidentified
|
Maybe you're Muslim American or Jewish American and you are heartbroken and furious about the ongoing bloodshed in the Middle East and worried about the rise of anti-Semitism Why would you place your faith in somebody who instituted a so-called Muslim ban? | |
Who sat down for pleasantries with Holocaust deniers? | ||
Who said that there were very fine people on both sides of a white supremacist rally? | ||
Glenn, when I first started watching you about 25 years ago on Fox or CNBC or wherever it was, and you'd have your chalkboard, which you still bust out, you'd be trying to connect all of the lies to sort of bigger ideas, the current things in politics, to really what's going on here. | ||
When you see something like that, the former president of the United States knowingly Knowingly spreading a hoax two days before the election, because the most generous version would be that he doesn't know that it's a hoax, but there's simply no way that that's true. | ||
There's simply no way. | ||
So when you see what you know to be a lie being spread by this guy two days before, knowing that the internet can debunk him in two seconds, what does that tell you is really going on here? | ||
Well, I'll tell you what I question. | ||
I question whether this is just sheer evil. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Arrogance. | ||
And the one that I really hold out on this is the American people. | ||
Look how dumb they think they are. | ||
And you know what? | ||
They might be right. | ||
Right. | ||
If you're still buying this lie that has been debunked over and over, and not just debunked like with Snopes, the video itself shows him saying, you have it? | ||
Glenn, let's do it. | ||
It took my guy two minutes this morning. | ||
I deserve a Pulitzer over here. | ||
Go. | ||
unidentified
|
Who said that there were very fine people on both sides of a white supremacist Rally. | |
Very fine people on both sides. | ||
You had people in that group, excuse me, excuse me. | ||
You had people, and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally. | ||
But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? | ||
Glenn, I think you're in the Radio Hall of Fame. | ||
You are, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Can I get some kind of honorable mention for internet something or other? | ||
I mean, my God, it took me two minutes. | ||
That was good journalism there. | ||
That's good stuff. | ||
Let me just tell you, America is suffering from severe mental illness. | ||
Severe mental illness. | ||
When you see people who are willingly buying into that, you're in a place of self-imposed ignorance. | ||
You are in a place where everything's been made a dream world. | ||
You have no idea of your responsibility as a human being, not just a citizen, but as a human being to know what's true and what's not. | ||
And then to see their reaction with, you know, Honest to God, they would cheer if they killed him on live TV. They would cheer for that. | ||
It's a deep and disturbing mental illness. | ||
Well, every now and again, a little reality breaks through to dream world. | ||
Check this out. | ||
This is Trump press secretary Carolyn Levitt on ABC and she just sort of rips right through the whole nonsense. | ||
unidentified
|
We want to talk about violence against political opponents. | |
Let's talk about the fact that Democrats have been labeling President Trump a threat to democracy for the better half of 10 years. | ||
Let's talk about how they have compared him to Hitler. | ||
One of the worst mass murderers in the history of the world and that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden weaponized the court system and the justice system in this country against Donald Trump in an attempt to imprison him. | ||
He sat through a courthouse for seven weeks this past year and the Democrats were hoping he would go to jail for it. | ||
That is real political violence that has led to two heinous assassination attempts on President Trump's life that by the grace of God he was able to escape and he is here with us today. | ||
So yes, President Trump knows a little bit about political violence because he's experienced it himself. | ||
And talking about the The tragic realities of war that Liz Cheney and her father Dick Cheney have got this country into is not political violence. | ||
It's talking about the reality of the foreign conflicts that the Washington, D.C. establishment have sold out young Americans to for decades. | ||
Glenn, what she's referencing right there is that they did it again this weekend. | ||
The mainstream media ran with a completely concocted story that Donald Trump implied that Liz Cheney should be, in essence, shot. | ||
And what he was actually saying was, oh, you know, these war hawks are so willing to send other people out there with a gun to stare down the barrel of someone else's gun. | ||
Maybe she should try that. | ||
It seems to me Republicans are getting a little better at the media thing. | ||
Oh, I think we're getting better at the media thing. | ||
And I really think, Dave, this is the this is the end of the media. | ||
If she wins, the media will be bailed out and they will go for some sort of a license for journalists and will have to appear in front of a, you know, a panel. | ||
And they're doing it in Canada right now. | ||
You don't you don't fit so you don't get accreditation. | ||
So you can't be a journalist. | ||
That's if she wins and they will bail them out with our taxpayer money as well. | ||
If he wins, this is Joe Rogan sealed the fate of the mainstream media. | ||
When he can get 100 million views, why would you go on to ABC, NBC, CBS, when you couldn't get 100 million views from all of them combined? | ||
This is the last election of this media. | ||
Again, everything's going to change. | ||
If... | ||
He wins. | ||
And that's why when Elon talks about the future being bright, it's like we're so freaking close. | ||
And yet I think guys like us have to map that for people. | ||
That's why I'm so glad you just said that. | ||
I think too, it's getting very hard for people to see a positive vision for the future, but we are so close depending on what happens tomorrow. | ||
Speaking of that, more and more Americans are realizing that maybe Trump is not the evil harbinger of death that he's been portrayed as. | ||
unidentified
|
Check this out from NBC. This other issue, we've talked about it in our last poll too, the dueling approval ratings. | |
This is sort of an albatross for Harris here. | ||
unidentified
|
Her administration that she's a part of, Joe Biden's approval rating sits at just 41%. | |
And then there's this twist, Donald Trump, retrospectively, do you now approve of how he did as president? | ||
In our poll, 48%, almost half, give him that approval rating. | ||
And we have to pause again because 48% is higher than the approval ratings he was getting when he was president, Steve. | ||
Really striking to see that. | ||
Exactly. | ||
So is that a hidden advantage there for Trump in some... | ||
Glenn, I know you have no love of the mainstream media, obviously, and that's the whole point of The Blaze and all the things that you've done for the last 20 years, but there's some level with these people that is so wonderful that they have done everything they can to demonize this guy into high hell, and yet occasionally they can't deny the truth. | ||
I know. | ||
Occasionally they can't, but they'll never come to the correct conclusion. | ||
They'll say... | ||
This is happening. | ||
But you know what it is? | ||
It's that damn MAGA squirrel. | ||
We should have killed that squirrel earlier. | ||
I mean, they never are introspective at all and go, you know, what role did we play in this? | ||
How have we built this up? | ||
You know, never, never. | ||
Dave, I know you've done that. | ||
I've done that. | ||
I think every honest person in America has watched where this country has gone. | ||
And said, okay, okay, okay. | ||
I know they're crazy, but have I played a role in this? | ||
What am I doing? | ||
I should stop doing this or start doing this. | ||
Because the Republic really is at stake. | ||
And that's what amazes me, is that supposedly, according to the polls, half of us Half of us have absolutely no idea what's real, what's true, what our country means, what it's about, and what the other side is actually doing. | ||
And that's exactly why at the top of the show today, I said, and I've been saying this for months now, this is not Trump versus Kamala, and this is not Republican versus Democrat or liberal versus conservative. | ||
This is reality. | ||
This is the election of reality. | ||
And if it does not go our way after, I, in essence, agree with you on, it's not that we won't have elections anymore, but we will be so lost and so far gone in the lies that nothing will make sense on the other side. | ||
And to that... | ||
Go ahead. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
I think this would be the last election of the Republic as we have always understood it. | ||
We'll still be the United States of America, but it won't mean the same thing. | ||
It won't have the same system. | ||
It'll be vastly different in four years. | ||
I agree, for better or worse. | ||
I want to connect this, though, to what could happen, depending on what happens tomorrow. | ||
Because Democrat Jamie Raskin was on Real Time with Bill Maher. | ||
It was an interesting guest to intentionally have right before this election. | ||
And they talked about the peaceful transfer of power. | ||
And listen to the way he uses language here. | ||
When I say we will support a free and fair election, no, we're not going to allow them to steal it in the states or steal it at the Department of Justice or steal it with any other election official in the country. | ||
If it's a free and fair election, we will do what we've always done. | ||
We will honor it. | ||
So, finally... | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And that is the Democrats' history. | ||
They honor it. | ||
That is the big difference between the parties. | ||
One of the big... | ||
Okay, so... | ||
And on that point, I'll tell you, the political scientists have told us the hallmark characteristics of a fascist political party. | ||
Number one, they don't accept the outcome of democratic elections that don't go their way. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
Number two, they embrace political violence as an instrument for obtaining power. | ||
And three, they're not organized democratically, they're organized top down as a cult of a personality around a charismatic or allegedly charismatic figure, right? | ||
Brad, you know, it's a damn shame we mute the guest mics when we play the clips, because if I could have just had the audience hear all of your exasperations and gasps and- I can't take it. | ||
I can't take it. | ||
Yep, and that's what Democrats are all about. | ||
We accept all of the elections. | ||
It's our Department of Justice. | ||
Except for every election since Al Gore. | ||
You know, we didn't accept that one. | ||
We didn't accept John Kerry. | ||
We didn't accept George Bush winning. | ||
We didn't accept Hillary Clinton's loss. | ||
Stacey Abrams didn't do hers. | ||
We're not going to accept this one. | ||
I mean, it's insane. | ||
And then political violence. | ||
Do you know where the National Guard has been put on ready? | ||
By this administration, Washington, D.C., Seattle, and Portland. | ||
Those aren't exactly, you know, bastions of red. | ||
I don't know if they got that one. | ||
I mean, and then it's top-down. | ||
What is more grassroots than MAGA, which is hated by every elite in the world because they're stupid. | ||
They're just farmers. | ||
They're just workers. | ||
That's bottom-up. | ||
Kamala is bottom-up? | ||
Nobody voted for her. | ||
It's so agonizing. | ||
That's the thing I can't take, Dave, is the lies. | ||
I just can't take the lies. | ||
No, I know. | ||
Look, it's what has driven guys like you and me to the position that we're in right now. | ||
If these people, I always say the mainstream media, they don't have to be great, but don't be completely abjectly awful. | ||
If it was like 80% awful, we would deal with it. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
We would deal with it and you'd be painting and I'd be playing basketball and we'd go about our day. | ||
But instead they have decided to be over the top evil. | ||
But I do think it was interesting and not a coincidence that Jamie Raskin was on real time on the episode before the election because listen to Jamie Raskin a couple months ago. | ||
What can be put into the Constitution can slip away from you very quickly. | ||
And the greatest example going on right now before our very eyes is Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which they're just disappearing with a magic wand, as if it doesn't exist, even though it could not be clearer what it's stating. | ||
And so, you know, they want to kick it to Congress. | ||
So it's going to be up to us on January 6, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he's disqualified. | ||
And then we need... | ||
Bodyguards for everybody in civil war conditions, all because the nine justices, not all of them, but these justices who have not many cases to look at every year, not that much work to do, a huge staff, great protection, simply do not want to do their job and interpret what the great 14th Amendment means. | ||
Glenn, it's so extraordinary what he just said right there, because first off, okay, so it's the Trump raging mobs again, then it's also that evil Supreme Court, which coincidentally they want to pack, and he's basically- But not all of them, not all of them, if they agree with Raskin, they're okay. | ||
Oh, we love those guys. | ||
But how worried are you that we could end up in a situation like this? | ||
I mean, I'd rather focus on the positive for the moment, and I think you and I are both feeling pretty good about things, but who the hell knows. | ||
But I mean, how worried are you that if we get the result we want, whether it's tomorrow night or the day after, whatever it is, that there still is trickery in the system? | ||
I mean, there you have them saying it right there. | ||
So, I have no doubt they're going to try to put him in jail if he wins. | ||
I have no doubt that Raskin will try this. | ||
But they tried this in 2016. | ||
Now we had a vice president in Joe Biden who actually turned them down over and over and over again. | ||
Congress, you have no right to do this. | ||
I am trying to be optimistic. | ||
I do feel optimistic if there were no... | ||
Chance of cheating. | ||
They wouldn't have made it a government-wide policy to get people to vote. | ||
That really bothers me because Congress has not even been able to see that plan. | ||
But if it's a landslide... | ||
We're okay. | ||
Either way, we're okay if it's a landslide. | ||
If it's close and debatable, and depending on how many days it takes to count, the more days that go between, the more difficult it's going to be to hold us together. | ||
But they are looking for anything to lock this place down, and they will lock it down. | ||
I pray that our side has wisdom and patience and wisdom and patience and peace. | ||
I also worry about terrorist attacks at this time. | ||
The agents of chaos, now is the time to move on us as soon as this election is over. | ||
Right, there's just fertile ground for a lot of craziness right now because things have been ramped up in ways that it's just unfortunate that it has. | ||
I wanna, I'm gonna end as I always try to do on a note of positivity. | ||
I wanna read you one tweet that I just thought was interesting. | ||
This was sent to me by a friend. | ||
I don't even know who, I don't know this person, Jamie Clay, who tweeted this, but they wrote, Dr. | ||
Jamie Clay, prediction, if Kamala Harris loses and accepts it, within a week or two, she will utilize the 25th Amendment to become the first woman president. | ||
That feels very legit to me, Glenn. | ||
I have to tell you, we can all go down our little conspiracy things or anything else, but why wouldn't she? | ||
If she genuinely knows she's lost the election and maybe they can't do some of the trickery that Raskin just put out there, why wouldn't, they've already got Biden over the barrel, why wouldn't she just say, you know what, I'm gonna be president for a couple months anyway? | ||
Well, that's a good point. | ||
However, I think if you look at this, With what George Bush used to say, strategery. | ||
You realize that why waste that? | ||
Why make her the history book person when you can find a real candidate and run that case later where it will mean something? | ||
If you waste it on her, it doesn't mean as much during the next election where it's a black woman. | ||
So I... I don't know. | ||
I don't think that makes sense if you're looking at it strategically. | ||
All right. | ||
I got one more for you that I think from the great Scott Adams, who we both know, he wrote this. | ||
My 2024 election prediction. | ||
I predict a landslide of election rigging claims more than courts can handle before January 6th. | ||
Many claims will be baseless. | ||
Some will look credible. | ||
I predict Trump will get the most real votes, but Democrats will empty the trickster vault to keep him from being certified and taking office on schedule. | ||
I predict massive voter fraud will be discovered and it will confirm in the minds of the public that Trump was probably right about 2020 being rigged. | ||
It will be the greatest third act in political history. | ||
I predict America will sort it all out by the end of January-ish, probably via the Supreme Court. | ||
Trump will take office, the golden age begins. | ||
Glenn, there's an awful lot there But in essence, he's saying that despite all the shenanigans and trickery that could be in the system, that Trump will win, will take office, and that we could turn this around. | ||
To me, that's the message. | ||
We can't deny that there might be shenanigans and trickery, but the message has to be that we can and will win, and then we can really restore this great country. | ||
So, I think we can. | ||
I think we, with God's help and everybody getting out and intelligently voting, We can win and it would usher in a golden age of America. | ||
But we have to also look at the dates that are spelled out in the Constitution. | ||
You have to have the electors selected and set. | ||
I think it's by December 20th. | ||
There is no alternative. | ||
So they are going to do exactly what they blame Donald Trump doing to try to rig the election. | ||
It was something that we learned from the Supreme Court in the 2000 election. | ||
You have to have an alternate set of electors if you're gonna make that case by, I think it's December 20th. | ||
Then, January 6th, doesn't matter. | ||
That's the deal. | ||
You either do it or you're going against the Constitution. | ||
You have to have it all done before January 6th. | ||
Glenn, my friend, We will be together tomorrow night during Blaze coverage, and I think you're jumping on for our coverage. | ||
Do you have any other thoughts before we end this longest ever episode of The Rubin Report? | ||
No, other than... | ||
Every time I think of it, I want to vomit. | ||
I feel like... | ||
You know what, Dave? | ||
Have you ever known anybody who is waiting for cancer results? | ||
I have, unfortunately. | ||
All right. | ||
So, you know, they're like, I just I'd rather have the answer. | ||
I just want to have the answer. | ||
Let's just get it done with. | ||
And then if it comes back and they do have cancer, they're like, I wish I had some more days not knowing. | ||
You know, I hope that's not how we feel tomorrow night. | ||
I wish we had a few more days thinking that maybe it was going to turn out differently. | ||
If it was all on the up and up, we win. | ||
We win clearly. | ||
If the American people. | ||
If they give half of what Donald Trump has given, doing what he's done, risking his life, being shot, and if it wouldn't turn his head, brains blown out all over the screen. | ||
He risked his life. | ||
Can we get off our butt and go vote for him? | ||
I think it's a pretty good exchange. | ||
We're getting the better of the deal. | ||
Glenn, do you have a bag of Cheetos within arm's reach that you could mash on your face before we let you go? | ||
No. | ||
No. | ||
I might do it tomorrow night. | ||
I don't know what you're talking about. | ||
You know what? | ||
If he wins tomorrow night in a clean and clear election, I'll do it. | ||
How about that? | ||
It's fantastic. | ||
Will you do it again? | ||
It's fantastic. | ||
Will you do it again? | ||
I don't know about that. | ||
I've gone down that road once. | ||
But I will tell you, David, if it's a landslide tomorrow, the golden age will come quickly. | ||
I agree. | ||
I agree. | ||
Glenn Beck, my friend, more tomorrow. | ||
Good luck with the revolution. | ||
See you then. | ||
And for everybody else, obviously, well, yes, this was our longest ever episode. | ||
I hope you enjoyed it. | ||
I hope you felt like we touched on some of these things in a slightly, well, certainly in a different way than you get from mainstream media, but even a slightly different way than everyone else is doing online. | ||
I'm telling you guys, we have the most bananas, ridiculous, funnest, craziest, Uh, election coverage you're ever gonna see tomorrow night. | ||
I don't know how many hours we're going for, probably five or six hours. | ||
I'm gonna be laying here in a pool of my own filth by the end of it. | ||
Uh, but I will have more information on that for tomorrow. | ||
Uh, we got a post game show coming up, rubinreport.locals.com in about 30 seconds. | ||
Thanks for watching everybody. | ||
Back me up. | ||
Go all in. | ||
Buy Joe Biden. | ||
I gotta win. | ||
Save the country from sin. | ||
I won't have a slack up. | ||
Get your money back up. | ||
Try and cost my voter and your bounty gets smacked up. | ||
Get up. | ||
Stand up. | ||
Throw your MAGA hats up. | ||
If you got the feeling, Kamala's unappealing. | ||
Trump's got the hot flow. | ||
Dems are talking junk, though I got shot in my ears. | ||
Certify me as the goat. | ||
Yo, working. | ||
Chat two. | ||
Peeps in the car. | ||
Send me serve more fries than lies from the voters are. | ||
DJ T's shown up in the lead. | ||
And if great, switch up on. | ||
I'm the presser you need. | ||
Kamala's a clown. | ||
Kamala's a clown, so get out and vote. | ||
Keep jumping around. | ||
Jump around. | ||
Keep jumping around. | ||
Jump around. |
