| It's a crazy world. | ||
| It's a crazy world. | ||
| Somebody's gotta have the same views. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Alright guys, this is it. | ||
| It has all led up to this. | ||
| We either continue with democracy or we end it tonight. | ||
| It's happening. | ||
| The polls are starting to close across the nation. | ||
| It is election night in America. | ||
| And before we do anything, and I am telling you, right off the top, we have the zaniest, wackiest, star-studded bonanza of a show you have ever seen. | ||
| Like, we saw what some other people are doing, and I think we have absolutely That just knocked it out of the park at every possible level. | ||
| We will go as many hours as it takes. | ||
| If I have to sit in this chair with a numb ass for six hours, I will do it. | ||
| Do we have anti-numbing cream? | ||
| We have some anti-numbing cream on standby, just in case. | ||
| But we got a ton of fun things we're gonna do and silly things. | ||
| We got a great guest list, which I'll get to in just a moment. | ||
| But before we do anything else, we have tequila, lots of stuff. | ||
| Before we do anything else, I really... | ||
| I just got to say a couple things. | ||
| I just want to level set and just really connect with you guys for just one second. | ||
| First off, right before we started, and I know we're a couple minutes late here for our 6 p.m. | ||
| start time, I said to the guys in the room, the guys and the gals in the room, I said, you know, do you guys want to pray for a second? | ||
| Like, literally. | ||
| Do you literally want to pray? | ||
| And I think everyone watching this, you at home and us right here and Everybody that's on, let's say, the right side of this thing, no pun intended, is kind of praying right now. | ||
| And I have no doubt that people on the other side of this thing, I guess, are praying. | ||
| They're a little less into praying maybe than we might be. | ||
| But everything, the dream of America, I guess, is what is really up for debate tonight. | ||
| You know, I've been telling you about how this isn't about Republicans and Democrats and conservatives versus liberals and all that stuff. | ||
| It's really been, this is an election in essence over reality. | ||
| Will we continue to have people who can think for themselves and build things and follow the American dream and do things differently or will we hand it all off To the system, the system that has repeatedly lied to us, and locked us in our homes, and injected us with things, and then lied about it, and then lied about it, and then lied about it, and lied about it, and lied about it. | ||
| Like, is that the way we are going? | ||
| And to whatever extent elections are real, if we believe that they are real. | ||
| And I do, by the way. | ||
| Not to say that shenanigans can't be within the system, but I do believe that elections are real. | ||
| I voted today in Florida and it was pretty damn secure with a pen and a paper and people that made sure that my ID matched my name and my address and then put it in, then had my private booth and then put it in the machine myself and it was clean and clear and we'll have results out of this state very cleanly. | ||
| There will be other states where it won't be as clean. | ||
| But we're all praying right now. | ||
| Like, this really is a seminal night in the history of America. | ||
| So with that in mind, I really, more than anything else, I just wanna, before we get to the fun and silly stuff and the tequila, and I made some pretty bomb-ass Wagyu tri-tips for my team. | ||
| We're working hard today. | ||
| I just want to thank you for being here. | ||
| I know that there is a million shows you could be watching. | ||
| There are a million live streams. | ||
| I have no doubt you'll be flipping around and all of that stuff. | ||
| But I hope that we will provide something that's a little bit different and a little bit special. | ||
| Connor, you could flick to the other camera if you want for a second. | ||
| How special will it be? | ||
| Well, we'll even have Super Mario Brothers being played. | ||
| I am going to try. | ||
| Because there are a lot of downtime. | ||
| You know, one of the things is they bring all these panels, CNN, MSNBC, panels, 18 people, none of them particularly interesting, each one more asexual than the next. | ||
| And they just talk the whole time. | ||
| And they're talking and talking. | ||
| And either they're happy or they're not happy. | ||
| Or if it's CNN or MSNBC, they have one token Republican and they throw a cookie in his mouth every now and again. | ||
| We thought, well, how can we do this a little differently? | ||
| When there is downtime, which there will be downtime over the next six hours or so, we're going to see, can Dave Rubin, Beat Super Mario Brothers. | ||
| 8-bit 1985 Super Mario Brothers. | ||
| Maybe we'll bust out the Duck Hunt 2. | ||
| We've also got a PS5 ready to roll. | ||
| I'm told Contra is up on there, and I've got four controllers, and I have young people in here who want to play me in that. | ||
| We'll see about that. | ||
| We're just gonna do zany, zany things, and I hope you're gonna have fun. | ||
| We have tons of great throwback clips and just weird stuff. | ||
| We also have a giant screen, by the way. | ||
| We have a giant screen upstairs in the home that I will get out of the seat and run to So that I can analyze other people on the giant screen, right? | ||
| That's when they have a giant screen at CNN, it's John King standing in front of a giant screen and white people in suburban... | ||
| We will stand in front of John King standing in front of the giant screen, do some stuff over there. | ||
| And we're just going to have some fun and drink some tequila and see what happens. | ||
| But again, I really, really thank you. | ||
| I can't overstate the importance of... | ||
| What this is tonight in America. | ||
| And we have a unbelievable guest list. | ||
| So let me just roll through the guest list for you. | ||
| It is really spectacular. | ||
| Oh, and you're gonna see a lot of people on cable news tonight with fake glasses to look smart. | ||
| You know I've made fun of them for years. | ||
| I'm wearing these occasionally for actual visual purposes because for six hours, if I'm sitting here, I do want to be able to read the things that are thrown in front of me. | ||
| We have an unbelievable guest list. | ||
| Really, I'm so impressed that we were able to pull this off. | ||
| We got Clay Travis, we got Dan Crenshaw, we got Xavier Durusso, we got Aaron Wexler and Emily, oh my God, Emily Wilson, Emily Saves the World. | ||
| We got Carol Markowitz, we got Gadsad, we got Lionel McGloin, we got Russell Brand, we got Adam Carolla, we got James Lindsay, we got Dr. | ||
| Phil, we got Tim Bilyeu, we got Dr. | ||
| Drew, we got Glenn Beck. | ||
| We have Sage Steel on location just for us, nobody else. | ||
| At Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| So hopefully she's going to bring in Tulsi and RFK and some others, but she's going to be in the mix of the party over there. | ||
| We have the wonderful Megyn Kelly. | ||
| We have Josh Hammer. | ||
| We have Alex Stein. | ||
| We have Viva Frye, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson. | ||
| I mean, I just can't imagine a better list. | ||
| I cannot imagine a better list. | ||
| And that is to the backdrop, of course, of everything that I've been talking about lately on the show, but particularly this morning, that... | ||
| Everything that this election now seems to be about, this new wide tent coalition thing, and all of you that have come around and people that had Trump derangement syndrome that suddenly see the world in a new way, see him now as the guy that's defeating the evil monster and all that stuff. | ||
| It's like, this is what I've been fighting for. | ||
| So I do not know what is gonna happen tonight. | ||
| And I should say something else. | ||
| You're gonna watch an awful lot of people tonight. | ||
| And these experts who are gonna tell you things, and the experts, they are no more expert than you at any of this. | ||
| They study the data. | ||
| Oh, I saw the 538 guy, what's his name, Nate Silver, 538. | ||
| He ran 80,000, he just tweeted this, he ran 80,000 simulations, and it came back that Kamala Harris won 40,015 of them. | ||
| It's like, dude, dude, are you kidding me? | ||
| That is your analysis? | ||
| Do we have my analysis that we did this afternoon? | ||
| Do we have that yet, Conor? | ||
| The basketball analysis. | ||
| We don't have that yet. | ||
| We're going to get to that in a little bit. | ||
| I did my own statistical analysis, which we'll show you in just a moment. | ||
| We will have an election map up, of course, throughout the evening. | ||
| That will be live and on the fly. | ||
| I think we can show you that right there. | ||
| We'll have an election map coming up every now and again. | ||
| We've got Connor working 80... | ||
| Hours a day for the last three years, and you will be paid for it eventually, I promise you. | ||
| So we'll obviously be updating that. | ||
| Of course, the key states, the key states, we all know what the key states are. | ||
| The key states are specifically, it's Pennsylvania. | ||
| Everyone seems to think this thing is going to come down to Pennsylvania. | ||
| But obviously, Arizona, Nevada is important. | ||
| New Mexico is important. | ||
| Colorado is important. | ||
| We'll see about that. | ||
| From what I can see here in my own home state of Florida, from the early stuff that's coming in, it is going to be an Absolutely insane onslaught and just destruction of whatever is left of the Democrat Party, which is great to see. | ||
| We'll also show you some Kalshi betting maps and what's happening live on the fly there. | ||
| Do we wanna show one of those right now? | ||
| What is the betting market at right now? | ||
| We'll see if we can throw to one of those. | ||
| I think we have it right now. | ||
| So the betting market right now, this is from Kalshi. | ||
| It's got Trump up a little bit. | ||
| This is where I need the glasses. | ||
| What, it looks about 57? | ||
| What do we got? | ||
| 58.42 to Trump on the betting markets right now, but these things are constantly changing. | ||
| And you know, look, we're just gonna have fun with a lot of this stuff because it's a lot of craziness and a lot happening. | ||
| And again, I just, I really want to emphasize, you guys know as much about this as half of the people that are wearing suits with their thick We're in this with you. | ||
| I really, really mean that. | ||
| And we're gonna eat some Wagyu Tri-Tip, and we're gonna drink some tequila. | ||
| Oh, and speaking of tequila, and Clay Travis is gonna be our first guest in about five minutes. | ||
| Clay Travis, who's really, you know, I don't mention Clay enough when it comes to the people that have woken up over the last couple of years, because Clay was kind of like a marginal apolitical sports guy, too, who's become a huge Trump person and fought against the media and built Outkick.com in direct competition with ESPN because they went woke and then he built them and they combined with... | ||
| With Fox News. | ||
| I should mention that what I have here in this bottle, this is Dave Rubin's tequila. | ||
| It is the first time it's being seen. | ||
| Now, obviously we don't have the label on the bottle yet. | ||
| I was hoping that we were gonna be able to launch the website tonight for you guys to do pre-sales. | ||
| There was a little hangup regarding the Mexican government and a UPC code. | ||
| Apparently it's all very technical and you're selling tequila. | ||
| So it should be out before Christmas for sure. | ||
| But this is what I've got left. | ||
| This is what I have left from the original case of Dave Rubin's tequila, and some of it will be drank tonight throughout the evening. | ||
| There's going to be a drinking game we'll get to and a whole bunch more. | ||
| But first, let's check in with the Harris campaign. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How are you doing? | |
| Have you voted already? | ||
| Give me a second. | ||
| You did? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you so very much. | ||
| You know, it's so important that everybody participates, and I thank you, because I'm sure you've got a lot of other things you could be doing, taking the time to go through. | ||
| Thank you for that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you enjoy your day, okay? | |
| Did you catch what happened right there? | ||
| She had her camera open. | ||
| She was not talking to anyone. | ||
| When you have your camera open, it's got video. | ||
| This is my camera. | ||
| Ooh, that's weird. | ||
| That just entered us into like the fifth dimension of hell. | ||
| That's the image right there. | ||
| So she's on the phone pretending to talk to somebody. | ||
| You can't talk to somebody when you have your camera like this because the audio does not work. | ||
| This literally happened in the last hour and a half. | ||
| The woman is going out in a blaze of glory. | ||
| And look, she might win. | ||
| She might be the next president of the United States. | ||
| The woman who has the brain power of a third grader, perhaps, no insult to third graders, And she did coup with the sitting president, so I gotta give her a little credit there, right? | ||
| She did pull off something there with Nancy and Chuck and Brock. | ||
| But like the fakery of this entire thing, this insane cackle, this ridiculous, circular way of thinking with her, and the fact that at the end, At the end, we showed you on the live show today at 11 a.m. | ||
| that she goes up and it's such a stage thing as she shows up at somebody's house and, oh my God, you happen to be a Kamala supporter who happens to be a poll watcher? | ||
| I can't believe it. | ||
| And now she's faking freaking phone calls like you cannot imagine it. | ||
| Anyway, I mentioned all of these very serious people that have very serious data and they're crunching the numbers and they're carrying the one and they're doing all of this stuff with papers and pens and calculators and all of this stuff. | ||
| And we were discussing, well, what could we do to give people an honest assessment, like a real true percentage of what might happen tonight? | ||
| And I said to Brock, why don't we get out there on the basketball court and see if we can come up with something? | ||
| So enjoy. | ||
| All right, guys, about three o'clock here on Election Day. | ||
| Huge day for America and the world. | ||
| Our coverage starts at 6 p.m. | ||
| on the Rubin Report. | ||
| Tons of great guests, all sorts of stuff. | ||
| But, you know, cable news, they're going to have all these data scientists, people with thick-rimmed glasses telling you about numbers and percentages and everything else. | ||
| But we're going to do it the scientific way here at the Rubin Report. | ||
| I'm going to shoot 10 threes right now, and however many threes I hit, that is the exact percentage chance that Donald Trump has to win the election. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here we go. | |
| We gotta finish strong. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What was that? | |
| I think that's five for nine. | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh, yeah. | |
| 60% chance Donald Trump will win the election tonight. | ||
| See you at six o'clock. | ||
| I'm telling you guys, that is as good cracked analysis as you're going to get anyone else. | ||
| This dork, Nate Silver, at 538. | ||
| These people all think he's in such... | ||
| They hold him in such high regard. | ||
| And he's literally, I ran 80,000 simulations and it came back 50-50. | ||
| Well, there you go. | ||
| I hit the last three. | ||
| So this is our prediction. | ||
| We're rolling in with this to start the night. | ||
| Donald Trump... | ||
| Donald J. Trump has a 60% chance of winning because I hit six out of 10 threes. | ||
| That is as scientific and sensible as anything else you are gonna hear this evening. | ||
| I think we have Clay Travis on the line? | ||
| No, we don't. | ||
| All right, we're working on getting Clay Travis on the line. | ||
| In the meantime, we wanna show you a couple clips because it's one of the things that makes all of this so difficult to deal with. | ||
| Is that we are all so siloed in our own ways, right? | ||
| Like, I try to pay as much attention to media across the board as possible. | ||
| The people that I dislike, that I play on the show every day, I pay probably more attention to them than the people that I at least like. | ||
| Because you need to know what these people are thinking. | ||
| And in many ways, this election tonight, because this is the election of reality. | ||
| That is what we are electing tonight. | ||
| Is which reality are we going into? | ||
| Are we going into a reality that will have a flicker of the human mind, an individual choice, or are we going deep, deep into the matrix? | ||
| Like, we gotta figure it out. | ||
| That's what this is about. | ||
| But you know, if you watch CNN or you watch MSNBC, obviously people are in very, very different states of mind, but it's important to check in on them. | ||
| You know, recently I've been very interested in this woman, Dana Bash, over at CNN, because there's something about her I find deeply inauthentic. | ||
| They're all kind of inauthentic, but I always feel like she doesn't believe anything she's saying. | ||
| And here she is, this is just about an hour ago, she seems very concerned that not enough people got a chance to meet the real Kamala Harris over these last four or five months. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would say that 2020 was a historic turnout. | |
| I mean, the highest since the 1900s. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So if it doesn't match that, who stayed home and why? | |
| And I think so many of our questions will come to that. | ||
| Which group stayed home and why? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Donald Trump has been running for two years. | |
| Kamala Harris has been running for 107 days. | ||
| So one of my big questions is, particularly with her candidacy, is whether that was just enough time to introduce herself to the country and to candidates who were dead set on voting for a Democrat, weren't so sure about him, or whether she could have used a little bit more time. | ||
| Oh, if we only had more time to analyze what's going on in Kamala Harris' brain, well, right now I'm going to bring on Kamala Harris' brain analyst, Clay Travis. | ||
| Clay Travis, I believe you are in Tennessee right now over at the Daily Wire studios with several other Kamala Harris brain analysts, a whole crack team of people studying the brain of that woman. | ||
| What have you found out via the research you're doing over there? | ||
| Well, first of all, you'll appreciate this. | ||
| Good job by you on the three-point shooting. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I am now dressed as an either circus performer who is going to look like he has had lions wrangled, or I'm going to be like the guy who paints his face and then his team loses and the camera pans to him and he just looks like the saddest SOB on the planet. | ||
| I don't know about you, but I am nervous. | ||
| And I was thinking about this as we sat down to talk, and I know I was in your studios down in South Florida, what, a couple of months ago. | ||
| But you and I, I feel like we're kind of on the front lines of people who had voted Democrat in the past and just had seen how the Democrat Party was losing its mind, didn't like identity politics, the woke attack on free speech. | ||
| And at a minimum, as we sit here on election night, the fact that we have added people like Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr. | ||
| to our team, I think kind of is incredibly encouraging to me about where we're going in the future. | ||
| But my goodness, if Kamala Harris gets elected tonight, it is just going to be an incredible blow to the solar plexus. | ||
| Mike Tyson at the peak in 1980 style catching you without being able to protect yourself. | ||
| Right, it does feel like it's gonna be the knockout punch. | ||
| I hate to laugh at that, but I mean, that's what Elon's been saying, that in essence, it's not that we won't have elections. | ||
| We will have elections, but the system will have been so strengthened, so calcified against us that we'll end up like California. | ||
| And then why wouldn't they use the power of the state to go after X where we can express ourselves or the other, or say Rumble or Locals or whatever it might be, or try to take out the Daily Wire where you are, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| Clay, real quick, I don't know if you saw this, we're getting breaking news right now, literally. | ||
| Biden, Joe Biden, the sack that, you know, was running for president that they cooed, that guy, he will not be attending Kamala Harris's election party tonight. | ||
| You think that's a bedtime issue or is that a signal? | ||
| Well, a couple things. | ||
| One, they wouldn't let him come on the stage at the Ellipse when he could legitimately see the stage from the balcony of the White House. | ||
| And instead, they had him in the basement doing a Zoom interview. | ||
| So I think they clearly want him off the stage. | ||
| But the honest broker about this information is, to me, the takeaway. | ||
| That they probably don't expect a result tonight. | ||
| I think if they thought Kamala Harris is going to win that they would bring him out on the stage for his triumphant raise of the hands sort of wrestling or boxing style when somebody wins a combat sport and make him sort of glisten a bit in her sheen. | ||
| I think they are believing that this is going to go on a couple of days. | ||
| I hope they are wrong. | ||
| I hope we come out when, in a couple of hours, North Carolina and Georgia go Trump and we get a strong indication in Michigan and Nevada and Arizona. | ||
| But my concern is, you're old enough to remember this, some of the audience honestly isn't, I'm afraid that there may be a state that is akin to Florida 2000. | ||
| Where it's one state, it decides who wins. | ||
| I don't know how well this country would hold up compared to how we did in 2000 in a social media age if we have one state that decides who the president is. | ||
| How worried with that in mind, how worried are you that... | ||
| Everyone in America that is watching something tonight, whether you're watching me or The Daily Wire or you're on the complete opposite side of this thing and you're watching whatever they're showing at the mental institution or at the home, that will never agree on what happens tonight. | ||
| In some ways, it feels to me like, that's what I keep saying, that this isn't Democrat-Republican. | ||
| This is the election on reality. | ||
| That's what I said right before you joined. | ||
| Because basically, we now have two completely divergent worldviews that I don't see how you possibly arbitrage those things. | ||
| Yeah look and and I would say in the 21st century every election with the exception of 2008 has come down to essentially a field goal and when you have a game in a sports metaphor context that comes down to a field goal Ass kickings are clarifying. | ||
| If you get your ass kicked and you lose 42-3, you're like, we had the wrong game plan. | ||
| If you lose 20-17 in every race, you stare at it. | ||
| In 2004, you say, if you're Democrats, hey, boy, we've got to be better in Ohio. | ||
| And in 2000, you say, boy, we've got to be better in Florida. | ||
| And then meanwhile, Republicans come back and they say, boy, we've really got to be better in the Midwest states or we've got to worry about the bleeding that we're seeing in Arizona. | ||
| And when it's so close, it comes down to a couple of plays. | ||
| The other thing is referees matter a lot more. | ||
| Usually you don't talk about the referee. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| When you lose, and I've coached a lot of sports and I've lost a lot of games badly, Dave. | ||
| When you come off the field and you have lost by 20 or 30 points, you're not saying, boy, you know who really screwed us was that ref with that one call. | ||
| When it is in this magnitude and people don't trust larger institutions, I think the only way Kamala Harris can win, this is my take, is by an absolute white knuckler. | ||
| I am cautiously optimistic that Trump could pull away and that there still is enough of a movement in his direction. | ||
| I saw you tweeting earlier. | ||
| I thought it was a great point and I shared it as well. | ||
| Got some good responses. | ||
| I know a lot of people who didn't vote Trump in 16 and 20 and are voting Trump in 24. | ||
| I don't know a single person who voted Trump 16, 20 that's voting Kamala. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I feel like that has to matter. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, that's why I tweeted that out. | ||
| I was asking people and I said, I'll retweet you throughout the day because I want people to see other people like them. | ||
| Because guys like you and I, wait, I'm not mistaken. | ||
| You did not vote for him the first time around, right? | ||
| You did not in 2016. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Correct. | |
| I went Gary Johnson. | ||
| Oh, right. | ||
| Oh, right. | ||
| Me and you have- Yeah, I was libertarian. | ||
| For better or worse, me and you have the exact same voting record. | ||
| We both did Gary Johnson and then Trump and now Trump again. | ||
| But what was interesting about the responses to that tweet, maybe we'll show some of them throughout the evening, is that the people that are voting for Trump now that have broken They are the most excited to vote. | ||
| Like they suddenly are seeing the world with completely fresh eyes that maybe you and I have now seen things for all. | ||
| It's not as exciting to some extent where they're like, they are just all freaking in. | ||
| And that's pretty incredible actually. | ||
| Yeah, and look, this is one of the things I talk about with my wife a lot. | ||
| One of the challenges I think that's out there is, you know, when Ron DeSantis swept the floor with Gavin Newsom in the debate that they had on The Sean Hannity Show. | ||
| One reason he did that is because Ron DeSantis knows every argument that Gavin Newsom is going to make because they're well distributed and widely discussed in media. | ||
| Most people have no real idea what arguments you and I are going to make, Dave. | ||
| We know their side argument, and we can explain why our side is better, but we very rarely get to have these head-to-head conflicts where we're able to explain why we believe what we believe and why we believe our side is right compared to their arguments. | ||
| They don't even really engage with the arguments that we put forward. | ||
| They essentially just say, oh, these guys are Hitler adherents. | ||
| These guys are fascists. | ||
| These guys are garbage. | ||
| They're unintelligent. | ||
| No, I think actually Trump has the right side of almost every argument out there. | ||
| In fact, I would argue every side. | ||
| I don't even think it's that difficult. | ||
| The problem is a huge percentage of Americans never hear what we actually believe because we're so caricatured by their side of the media that it's impossible to tell. | ||
| Yeah, you know, I was at the rally at MSG last week, and to be there for over seven hours, I got there at about 12.30, I left about 9 p.m., to see the most joyous, America-loving, Orthodox Jew next to a Muslim woman in a burqa, literally, happy group of people, Praying, celebrating American flags everywhere, joy, and then to see the way the machine just flexes and turns it into a Nazi rally is incredible. | ||
| Clay, I want to throw to this video, I saw this right before we went live, because as I keep talking about this war on reality thing, you know that Gavin Newsom, who you mentioned, and many of the Democrats really want to censor the internet. | ||
| That's why Elon bought Twitter, and thank God he did. | ||
| And check this out. | ||
| So this is, someone created this. | ||
| It's AI replacing the words, our democracy, with our bureaucracy, via cable news host. | ||
| And listen to how different things actually sound. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If the Democrats fail, it might be the end of American bureaucracy. | |
| Our bureaucracy really is in fundamental peril. | ||
| The foundations of American bureaucracy under attack. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They want to destroy our bureaucracy. | |
| We are a bureaucracy in danger. | ||
| We're watching an election where people are on the ballot openly advocating the end of bureaucracy. | ||
| That's what Republicans are doing, attacking bureaucracy, attempting to destroy bureaucracy, and they're doing it with glee. | ||
| This is the end of bureaucracy in America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When will America stop sleepwalking towards the end of bureaucracy? | |
| It's Democrats versus, as Bill Kristol says, the end of bureaucracy. | ||
| We are essentially, as Neil put it, one vote away from sort of the end of bureaucracy as we know it. | ||
| I think our bureaucracy and the stability of that bureaucracy is really the thing on the ballot and really so important. | ||
| Clay, isn't that it right there? | ||
| Like, that's first off a perfect example of why they want to censor the internet, why they want to take Elon out, why they hate AI, they hate all the things that are coming on the horizon. | ||
| But in essence, that made more sense than anything they say on their network. | ||
| Democracy is not at stake if Donald Trump wins. | ||
| Democracy explodes in the best way and a renewal of the American spirit comes. | ||
| They're the ones coming through bureaucracy for our democracy. | ||
| Yeah, look, it strikes the chords of incredulity for me for them to be arguing that the party that is trying to bankrupt, imprison, and kill Donald Trump is actually trying to defend democracy while simultaneously elevating a woman who had never gotten a single vote for presidency in her entire life. | ||
| And one reason why I think this election is so important, leave aside many other issues out there. | ||
| If Kamala wins, the lesson that Democrats are going to take is lawfare works and the American public respond to it. | ||
| And so we need to try to lock people up more. | ||
| We need to try to shut them down more. | ||
| Dave, you know what I think is going to happen if Trump wins? | ||
| I think he's going to get in office. | ||
| I legitimately believe this. | ||
| And I think he's going to pardon Hunter Biden. | ||
| And do you have any faith at all that Kamala Harris is going to pardon Donald Trump? | ||
| I don't. | ||
| I think they'll try to put him in prison for the rest of his life. | ||
| And once you cross that Rubicon, once you establish that if you lose an election, you and potentially members of your family and your supporters go to prison for the rest of their lives, we don't have a functional republic anymore. | ||
| And how many people out there that are otherwise very talented and would make great leaders are going to say, you know what? | ||
| I'm not putting my name in. | ||
| I'm not risking my family. | ||
| I'm not risking my wealth. | ||
| I'm not risking my freedom. | ||
| To me, that is why we have to win. | ||
| We have to send the message that this fails, that it blows up in people's face, and that one reason we won is because of the lawfare, not that Democrats were able to get to the White House yet again because of lawfare. | ||
| Clay, we've been on a very parallel voting evolution together. | ||
| And, you know, people know I love nonpolitical people that can then make sense of politics because they come at it from another angle. | ||
| And that's what you've built, which is pretty freaking awesome. | ||
| Do you guys, are you going to get Shapiro and Peterson and the rest of them to drink tonight or what? | ||
| What happens? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Look, I'm going to be on with Fox Nation a little bit later. | ||
| Do you know where I'm going to be? | ||
| Kid Rock's Country bar on Broadway in downtown Nashville. | ||
| So you want to talk about a wide range of potential outcome? | ||
| We're either going to have one of the most awesome nights that has ever existed, or it's going to be one of the saddest nights in a honky-tonk in Nashville in a very long time. | ||
| Wide discrepancy here based on how this night goes. | ||
| Fingers crossed. | ||
| I hope I'm not the idiot with the painted face in the lion wrangling jacket. | ||
| Yeah, if this ends at like 1 a.m. | ||
| with you eating fried bologna outside of a honky-tonk crying, it's going to be very sad. | ||
| We may have to check in with you in that case. | ||
| Or, Dave, think about this. | ||
| I could be on the stage in Kid Rock's honky-tonk saying, Donald Trump's the next president of the United States, and now Kid Rock. | ||
| Can you imagine that? | ||
| That's a wide range, too. | ||
| That is a wide range, my friend. | ||
| Clay, good seeing you. | ||
| Let's pray, man. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| Let's hope it's going to happen. | ||
| I'll see you, my man. | ||
| I mean, can you imagine? | ||
| Can you imagine being in Nashville if this goes Trump's way? | ||
| Like, that is gonna be a fun town. | ||
| All right, guys, we told you we're gonna do, we got Congressman Dan Crenshaw coming up in a few minutes from Texas. | ||
| And Dan Crenshaw, let me tell you something quick about Dan Crenshaw, then we're gonna do some funny TikTok stuff. | ||
| Dan Crenshaw, when I was still on the fence about Trump, I was at a Turning Point USA event about five years ago, and Dan Crenshaw, it was in the middle of the impeachment thing, and Dan Crenshaw, who I liked a lot, was one of Trump's main supporters, helping him during the impeachment fight all of that bullshit. | ||
| And that night, I heard Trump speak at Turning Point in West Palm. | ||
| I hung out with Crenshaw. | ||
| I then met Trump later that night. | ||
| You guys know the story of when I met him at Mar-a-Lago and how great he was and everything else. | ||
| But seeing some of the politicians that I genuinely like years ago, like Rand Paul, who went hugely towards Trump. | ||
| Seeing some of those guys, Ted Cruz, people that ran against Trump go towards Trump. | ||
| That is some of the stuff that loosens up a lot of this for some of the other people. | ||
| But before we get to... | ||
| Congressman Dan Crenshaw. | ||
| I believe we have some TikTok videos that I'm going to react to live. | ||
| I have not had tequila yet, or anything else funny, if you know what I mean. | ||
| I did vote on No on 3 today, by the way, here in Florida. | ||
| I voted against recreational marijuana, which I explained, which actually Governor DeSantis explained to me yesterday. | ||
| But we've got some funny TikTok videos, and we're just going to throw them in, and I'm going to react live on the internet. | ||
| That's what people do on the internet. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm struggling with alcoholism, right? | |
| Mostly non-alcohol. | ||
| I never saw her, you know, drink that much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pills, steroids. | |
| When mom was in the worst of it, yeah, there was some dangerous shit out there, but it wasn't nearly as deadly as the stuff that's out there today. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The poison that we've got in the streets now is so dangerous. | |
| But it's also sad that somebody, you know, you can't even do cocaine in this country anymore, you know? | ||
| And that seems like a crazy thing to say. | ||
| Like Janie's doing like it is sad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't say that. | |
| But I said it more. | ||
| I'm going to steal that line. | ||
| You know, even that right there, that just shows these guys are now, that's what they're afraid of. | ||
| The thing that they're afraid of most in many ways that Trump has broken through was the image of the old Republican was this stodgy guy in a backroom, you know, Mr. | ||
| Burns and his cadre of people in a rainy It's raining outside with the lightning going off and they're all counting their money. | ||
| They're burning their money at the fireplace and smoking cigars and drinking whiskey and all this stuff and that they only care about money and oil and war. | ||
| And then suddenly you've got Trump who completely blew that thing apart. | ||
| Then you've got J.D. who they kept saying was weird and yet he's just kind of normal and they can't deal with any of that. | ||
| So we're gonna throw in a whole bunch of stuff like that. | ||
| I think we have Dan Crenshaw coming on in just a second. | ||
| We'll bring Dan. | ||
| Yeah, we've got him right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, we've got Congressman Dan Crenshaw on the line. | |
| Congressman. | ||
| How you doing? | ||
| I'm doing all right. | ||
| How are you doing? | ||
| How's America doing? | ||
| Let me know. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| You know, Dave, America will always be fine. | ||
| Maybe we should start with that measure of optimism. | ||
| But I think it'll be better if Republicans win tonight. | ||
| And that's my anticipated result. | ||
| I mean, as we're having this conversation, Don't know a whole lot more than we knew yesterday. | ||
| We're right at the edge of getting in our first numbers. | ||
| And so I don't have a lot to tell you, but I've been feeling pretty good about it. | ||
| How do you feel Trump has widened the party? | ||
| Because the party is very, very different than it was four years ago. | ||
| It's crazily different than it was eight years ago or 12 years ago, et cetera. | ||
| How long do we have? | ||
| We got eight to ten, my friend. | ||
| We got eight to ten. | ||
| But it's like an hours long conversation, in my opinion, because I could argue that both ways. | ||
| I could argue it's not different at all. | ||
| I could argue a lot of people want it to be different because different just seems cooler and more hit these days. | ||
| But if I look at the RNC platform now from before, I'm not sure you can tell me what some of the bigger differences are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now we have taken off major issues on the RNC platform, which are very bad. | |
| When you see a group that now includes, say, RFK and Tulsi, et cetera, et cetera, whether you agree with them or not, that clearly something else has happened here that would not have happened years ago. | ||
| Yeah, that's harder to explain. | ||
| That's campaigning. | ||
| That's campaigning more than anything else. | ||
| I mean, what does that mean for the general platform of the party? | ||
| It's a conservative party, or at least it should be. | ||
| To the extent that you're adding this bigger populist wing, I don't think there's anything good to say about that. | ||
| Populism is liberalism. | ||
| There's no difference to me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| For campaigning purposes and disaffected liberals like Tulsi and RFK coming to Trump's side, great. | ||
| It's good for campaigning. | ||
| And look, it's not like nobody ever had any good ideas. | ||
| Maybe they bring some interesting thoughts to the table. | ||
| I don't know what they are just yet, but we'll see. | ||
| But I see that more as a campaigning personality thing than I do as a radical change in a party platform. | ||
| And the reason I say the word conservative and say this is the party of conservatism, or at least it should be, is because conservatism by its very nature isn't supposed to change that much. | ||
| That's like the whole point. | ||
| And I don't think it has. | ||
| I think Trump governs as a regular mainstream Republican. | ||
| I know people don't like hearing that. | ||
| People want it to be a different thing. | ||
| And his personality was certainly different. | ||
| And there were some policy differences, like a willingness to take on China. | ||
| But that was... | ||
| I would say that was kind of happening anyway. | ||
| That was sort of America as a whole waking up from this giant Chinese trick that they'd been playing on Washington for a very long time, and Trump was the guy who was calling it out, and it's great. | ||
| Definitely more of a skepticism on trade and unfair trade practices, which is a reasonable skepticism. | ||
| You've got to be careful with that, okay? | ||
| It doubles in the details. | ||
| You end up hurting a lot of American workers in the process of trade war, but still, it's It's something worth pointing out. | ||
| But does that make it a massively different party? | ||
| I'm not so sure about that. | ||
| You know, if I'm going to point fingers at a massively different party, I'm going to point fingers at the DNC. I mean, when I was on Bill Maher a couple of months ago... | ||
| I think everyone would agree with that. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, one of my favorite tricks to play on them was I read a party platform. | ||
| I didn't tell them where the party platform was coming from. | ||
| And what I was reading honestly sounded like it was written by like MAGA. It was just like MAGA, MAGA. It was illegal immigration bad. | ||
| You know, the government should only do so much, you know, limited in its scope. | ||
| All these typical Republican talking points. | ||
| And I was like, what do you guys think since you think we're so extreme? | ||
| Because that was the argument they were making. | ||
| We're so extreme now. | ||
| I was like, well, then where's this platform from? | ||
| Now, James Carville will do exactly where it was from immediately. | ||
| Like, I didn't pull one on him, but it didn't matter, because my point was made. | ||
| And he's like, that was the 1996 DNC platform, you little... | ||
| He was all grumpy about it. | ||
| It was kind of funny, but... | ||
| The point is, is that the 1990s Democrat Party is what's radically shifted. | ||
| I don't like to think that we've shifted a whole lot, even if we ourselves like to think that. | ||
| I think I'm taking an objective view at this, but sorry, I told you it'd be a long conversation. | ||
| It's a super interesting one. | ||
| That's why I asked how long we had to... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Unfortunately, we're going to have to pick it up at another time because we've got about 25 guests during this what could be 24-hour bonanza. | ||
| But just give me a percentage. | ||
| Give me a percentage before I let you go. | ||
| Trump winning this thing tonight. | ||
| I'm not a political pundit, and I don't study the data. | ||
| If you make me bet, I think he wins. | ||
| Percentage-wise, I can tell you the exact percentages. | ||
| If I have some screens in front of me, it's 50.001%. | ||
| But that's an edge. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, so if you make me bet, I think he wins. | |
| I've been saying that for a few months now. | ||
| And I think Republicans take the Senate and keep the House. | ||
| So I think we're in for a better future. | ||
| So let's be a little optimistic about it. | ||
| Let's take it. | ||
| Congressman Dan Crenshaw, I appreciate your time. | ||
| And go Ted Cruz in Texas, by the way. | ||
| Ted Cruz, you know, his race, actually, his Senate race, which we'll get some updates on, I'm sure, throughout the evening, was bizarrely close, because Cruz has done a really fine job, I think, in Texas. | ||
| And suddenly, in the last couple weeks, it's started to divide quite a bit. | ||
| So I think Ted Cruz will be fine over there in Texas. | ||
| All right, should we, what should we do? | ||
| Why don't we do a little more reaction stuff at the moment? | ||
| All right, we're gonna do a little more reaction stuff, and then we should bust out some tequila. | ||
| I think it's time, I think it's time. | ||
| All right, what do we got, Connor? | ||
|

|
Good. | |
| Get back! | ||
| Is that real? | ||
| That's real. | ||
| This is why you should have a gun. | ||
| Because there are people. | ||
| You got something else? | ||
| You want to roll right into something else, don't you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, let's go. | |
| Here comes the hot step. | ||
| Here comes the hot step. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Word up. | |
| You can see throughout the evening, we're going to also show you something about age discrepancies and generational shifts in both humor and cultural attitudes. we're going to also show you something about age discrepancies I think that was one of them that we just saw right there. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I really want to be able to say the name of the tequila, but I don't think I can't do it yet. | ||
| I've been told by the legal people I shouldn't do it yet. | ||
| But I am going to enjoy some of the tequila. | ||
| We will talk about the drinking game in just a little bit. | ||
| And... | ||
| So there's no, what closed? | ||
| Do we know what closed? | ||
| Do we know what states have closed at this point? | ||
| Because I think, so nothing closed yet. | ||
| I think, yeah, so the map, so nothing has changed. | ||
| Nothing has changed on the map, obviously, because nothing has closed yet. | ||
| Yeah, there is obviously some votes in, and Indiana's got something going on over there. | ||
| So there is some stuff rolling in. | ||
| My guess is probably within the next, well, probably the first, my guess is some of the first stuff probably closes about seven o'clock, and then we'll get something out. | ||
| We're being told that about 9% of the vote is in right now. | ||
| I have to say, Crenshaw, a little black-pilled on life right now. | ||
| Didn't offer us much on the Trump train. | ||
| I just don't know. | ||
| You know, it's interesting. | ||
| The interesting thing about Trump, and this is why people have so many confounding and conflicting feelings about him, is he sort of has become whatever you want him to be, right? | ||
| So I don't think he's like this magical hero, but I think in essence, he's kind of as close as you can get to one while being a person. | ||
| Like after everything he has been through, I think he has now stepped into the role of magical hero. | ||
| I think he is a real human just like me and you who bleeds blood and we saw it not too long ago, about four or five months ago. | ||
| But everyone wants to put everything on him. | ||
| They put all their fears and aspirations on him and everything else. | ||
| And in a functional society, we would have a... | ||
| Government that was kind of small and the politicians wouldn't have to be so braggadocious and over the top and everything else. | ||
| But this is the guy we need right now, right? | ||
| You don't get the hero you need, you get the hero you deserve. | ||
| Or did I say that backwards? | ||
| I think that was the Batman thing. | ||
| I think I did that right. | ||
| It was something like that. | ||
| Like we're getting the one we deserve. | ||
| All right, the Kalshi betting market is narrowing, we're being told right now. | ||
| It's now 55 to 45. | ||
| So Trump is still up. | ||
| There is a general feeling right now that early votes were pretty good. | ||
| That the male vote, and you could feel the other thing that they're trying to do right now is they really wanna set this thing up as it's a war between the sexes. | ||
| That if Trump wins, it's because of those evil men who wanted to control their wives. | ||
| And I had a couple interesting discussions just privately in the last week, I don't know many people that were supporting Kamala anymore or that voted Kamala, but I know a handful, I guess, and I know many, many people, to Clay's point earlier, that were anti-Trump, radically anti-Trump over the years that ended up voting. | ||
| For Trump this time around. | ||
| But you know, the one thing that seems to keep so many of the people stuck is this women's rights stuff, which is largely connected to abortion. | ||
| And without getting into, let's not do the whole abortion debate right now. | ||
| Everyone can decide whether they think it should be six weeks heartbeat bill, like we have here in Florida, or 12 weeks, which seems a little more reasonable to me. | ||
| What's unreasonable is what the Democrats want in places like Minnesota, where Tim Walz has no, as the governor, has no Limits on abortion or in California where there are no limits on abortion and all of that stuff. | ||
| But they've somehow combined abortion, which is ending a life. | ||
| They've combined that with women's health. | ||
| And you know, a lot of the babies they abort actually are girls. | ||
| They are females. | ||
| That's a real thing. | ||
| So you might want to care about them. | ||
| But also if you really cared about women's lives, if you cared about women's safety and all of those things, well, you might want to put the border on A little higher in that order of importance when you're voting because the people that are coming here, say MS-13, they're probably not too great to women. | ||
| The Venezuelan gangs, the crime on the streets, all of those things. | ||
| But they somehow can whittle everything down. | ||
| So people think of like, oh, women's rights just like that. | ||
| And it has nothing to do with any of the other things. | ||
| And that really is the problem of identity politics, I think, in a nutshell. | ||
| It has left us with not too much. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Should we bust out what the drinking game is? | ||
| Do we want to pull that up or is it a little early for that? | ||
| I think we've got the image. | ||
| We'll have Brock throw us the image in just a little bit. | ||
| I'm going to have a little tequila right now, see what's going on over here. | ||
| I am telling you guys, we have created, I cannot wait to release this. | ||
| I, Dave Rubin, or Dave Rubino, as they say in Spanish, I have created the most delicious, exquisite tequila you have ever tasted. | ||
| You'll get on some of that soon enough. | ||
| Do we have Xavier? | ||
| Do we have Xavier? | ||
| I think he'll be on. | ||
| We do have Xavier. | ||
| Xavier de Rousseau, my friend from PragerU, the blondest black man this side of something or other. | ||
| How are you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm great. | |
| I apologize. | ||
| My computer crashed three times, but we got a new laptop just in time. | ||
| They have laptops at PragerU. | ||
| You are, I believe, in Los Angeles, if I'm not mistaken? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right now I'm in Orlando. | |
| Oh, you are in the free state of Florida. | ||
| That's nice. | ||
| You decided to come to a red state for the election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, just in case things got a little too hood for me in LA, you know, I had to go where it was safe, you know? | |
| So you are another interesting character, someone that people might say is not stereotypically what a conservative or a Republican is supposed to be, all of that BS nonsense, you know, very kind of factory setting thinking. | ||
| But you're out there trying to convert people and I think making a dent. | ||
| What are you seeing with, how old are you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How old do I look? | |
| I'm going to say 27. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I am 27. | |
| I swear to God I have no idea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everything's good. | |
| You know, they say black don't crack, so you could have been 49. | ||
| Like, I have no idea, you know? | ||
| And with the hair, it's a little hard to tell. | ||
| But you're converting some young people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| When I go around in L.A., so many people come up to me and say that they are so grateful that I'm saying all the things that they feel like they're not allowed to say, but that I'm unapologetically saying. | ||
| And you're seeing more and more people being tired of being lied to or tired of being gaslighted. | ||
| And the ultimate... | ||
| We just want people to take us seriously with us. | ||
| They don't talk to us about the border. | ||
| They don't talk to us about immigration and the economy and all these different things that are going on. | ||
| Instead, they try to bring Beyonce and Meg Thee Stallion on stage, and they think that's going to win our votes, but that's not the case. | ||
| And we are moving over to the right because we just want someone who's real with us, and that's Donald Trump. | ||
| Is that the weird thing that's going on right now, that the Democrats, yeah, they've got the machine, they've got the celebrities that somehow, you know, there's like a long slew of celebrities between what's-her-name with her wet you-know-what in the bucket and all that, that weeks ago wasn't gonna support. | ||
| Kamala then comes out and supports, or Usher, who weeks ago said he wasn't gonna support, then he comes out and supports. | ||
| Like, there's some weird stuff going on there, but it's kind of running real thin right now. | ||
| Like, young people don't seem to care. | ||
| Wait, who is the wet bucket woman? | ||
| What's her name again? | ||
| Cardi B, Cardi B. Like people don't seem to care about her and her wet bucket and the wet bucket and the thing. | ||
| They don't care anymore, right? | ||
| And it's good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Does the Karis campaign even research these people that they're bringing on stage? | |
| Because Cardi B just a couple of years ago was bragging about how she was drugging and robbing men all through her stripping career to get to where she is today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that really the person that you are going to use to try to win over the Black and Hispanic votes? | |
| It's honestly embarrassing. | ||
| They don't try to bring someone who is an intellectual with an impact in the young or minority communities. | ||
| They instead bring someone who is textbook definition of illiterate to go up there and represent Kamala Harris. | ||
| And honestly, her entire speech was so embarrassing, it might have costed Kamala the campaign. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, for people that didn't see it, we showed you a portion of it. | ||
| I mean, the teleprompter went out and Cardi B literally stood there, had nothing to say, could not say a word until they handed her the phone. | ||
| And then she, yes, was able to read off it. | ||
| But it was just, the fact that you can't, as a performer, just get up there and speak freely just from your heart for two, three minutes is just such a condemnation of all of them. | ||
| As a black man, let me ask you the stupid question, as a black man, there's been a lot of talk, you know, with Obama kind of pandering to black men, if you don't vote for Kamala, you know, in essence, sort of what Joe said, you ain't black. | ||
| It's that sort of movement. | ||
| I mean, that has just got to be the worst. | ||
| And by the way, we see this with the gays and a whole bunch of other minorities. | ||
| It's just kind of the worst pandering there is, isn't it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's absolutely exhausting. | |
| It's like, how dare you? | ||
| How dare you in 2024 reduce me to the expectation that I need to think with my skin color to tell me that because I have extra melanin in my skin that I have to pretend to be uneducated enough to think that Kamala Harris is going to Do justice for our country is insane. | ||
| But it shows just how outdated the Democratic Party is when it comes to what Black people are discussing. | ||
| We are over this notion that fear is our Achilles heel. | ||
| For way too long, they weaponized fear to keep us in line and keep us believing all of the different narratives that they put on us. | ||
| But we're tired of that. | ||
| We have moved on from that. | ||
| And that's the thing about Donald Trump is I look at him, I'm like, yeah, he might be a little bit of an a-hole sometimes. | ||
| He might offend you and your entire community. | ||
| But at least we're not becoming North Korea. | ||
| At least we know what to expect from Donald Trump. | ||
| And at least we know that he overall has the interests of every single American in mind and in his heart. | ||
| So that is what we're focusing on is what is actually going to change for us rather than Barack Obama lying to us and the ovarian version of Barack Obama peddling the lies that Obama fed to her. | ||
| I'm being told that we have video of Melania Trump. | ||
| I have not seen this before. | ||
| we have to throw to it right now. | ||
| She's been indoors with sunglasses all day. | ||
| People are wondering what's going on with that. | ||
| What's going on with Melania indoors with sunglasses? | ||
| You know, one of the things that people think is that they somehow hate each other or that she's this kept woman or something. | ||
| And I don't know if you've ever heard me talk about it, but when I met them at Mar-a-Lago, I saw them together and I saw them holding hands on top of the table, her hand on his. | ||
| He kept referring to her as honey and I said something to him about what I thought was happening with the Democrats. | ||
| And he said, honey, honey, you should hear this. | ||
| And I was like, that's not a man who hates this woman. | ||
| Asking her opinion on something. | ||
| And the way she responded to him was so obviously that they don't. | ||
| But it's all just, we've just created these characters, right? | ||
| In our heads around all of these people. | ||
| Probably to the Democrats too, to some extent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, absolutely. | |
| First of all, Melania wearing the sunglasses inside, that was just her serving looks. | ||
| That was a fashion statement. | ||
| I think it was Rob Smith that said it best. | ||
| It is an injustice that we did not view Melania Trump as a fashion icon enough all throughout Trump's first presidency, because she could have been our Princess Diana. | ||
| But that being said, it's like people try to make up these fairytale versions of what they think of Trump and Melania's relationship and thinking that they know every single detail. | ||
| It's like, please, especially those of you who are married or been in serious relationships, you know that there might be situations where you don't want to hold hands or you might be a little annoyed with each other. | ||
| But that doesn't mean that they're not a unified front at the end of the day. | ||
| So people making up these conversations and these narratives in their heads as if they're the ones in Melania and Donald's bedroom, it's deranged. | ||
| And really, you need to mind your business. | ||
| This is not the Real Housewives. | ||
| Xavier, before I let you go, you were in one of the few blue places we have left in Florida, Orlando. | ||
| Do you think it possibly flips tonight? | ||
| We're seeing some crazy numbers. | ||
| I mean, here down in Miami-Dade, which used to be blue, the Republicans, from what I understand, are up by like 30 percent right now. | ||
| Completely insane. | ||
| You think something could switch now that Disney lost to Mr. DeSantis? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, I definitely think there's gonna be some progress here in Orlando, but there's way too many adult Disney kids here, and I think they're too busy living in fairytale land to switch over to the Republican Party. | |
| All right. | ||
| Before I let you go, I'm gonna play Super Mario Brothers right now. | ||
| That's from when I was a kid, 1985 Nintendo. | ||
| Since you got a few years behind me, what system did you grow up on? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All of them. | |
| Nintendo 64. | ||
| I had Xbox, PlayStation, GameCube. | ||
| I was a little spoiled. | ||
| Not all black people are impressed. | ||
| On that note, I'm gonna play some Super Mario. | ||
| Let's go, Trump. | ||
| All right, let's bust it out. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| We have Aaron and Emily coming on in a few minutes, but right now, I'm going to play. | ||
| Let's show the big screen. | ||
| I want people to be able to see the big screen for just a moment. | ||
| Let's throw it to the big screen right there. | ||
| Okay, don't worry. | ||
| You're not gonna have to watch at that angle the entire time. | ||
| I'm gonna play a little Super Mario Brothers. | ||
| Can I at least right now get through the first board without dying? | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| And we know, of course, that there's a mushroom right there. | ||
| We're gonna grab that. | ||
| Yeah, oh yeah. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is the type of election coverage. | ||
| Like, what are they doing on CNN right now? | ||
| Someone let me know what they're doing over there. | ||
| And this is what people want, you know what I'm saying? | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| Can Dave Rubin, throughout the course of what could be the longest, oh, right in the middle, longest political evening, right, you gotta go down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You gotta go down the pipe, get the extra coin. | |
| Can Dave Rubin beat Super Mario Brothers? | ||
| I still got it. | ||
| I still got it. | ||
| We're going to get through the first board before we bring on Aaron Wexler and Emily Wilson, who are doing some great work on their podcast, by the way. | ||
| You guys see Aaron on the show all the time? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's see. | |
| How am I doing? | ||
| Oh, that's it. | ||
| I did it. | ||
| 5,000 points. | ||
| Great jump. | ||
| You got the flag. | ||
| And we will continue with World 1-2 in just a moment, but I think I'm I'm gonna bring on Erin Wexler and Emily Wilson, Emily Saves America, and non-lib take. | ||
| We've got Emily. | ||
| We have one of the two. | ||
| Emily, how are ya? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm good. | |
| I'm tired. | ||
| You're good? | ||
| Are you sure? | ||
| Everything's okay? | ||
| Oh, I just died in Mario Brothers because I didn't pause it, so we're not gonna count that on the official score thing there. | ||
| What video game system did you grow up on? | ||
|
unidentified
|
PlayStation? | |
| You were a PlayStation girl, a little younger than me. | ||
| What do you make of what's happening right now? | ||
| What do you make of what's happening in the world right now? | ||
| You've been doing all these videos, sometimes with Aaron, sometimes solo, sort of like hitting this new kind of like female empowerment thing in the right sense. | ||
| Like go out there, you're allowed to be hot and like dudes and dudes are allowed to like you and there's nothing misogynistic about it and that the other side is just sort of hysterical and mean and out of shape and bitter and all of that stuff. | ||
| Well, those are all facts. | ||
| It's funny because people forget that there's girls who are obviously Republican in California, but they also forget there's a lot of women in very blue states and very blue cities that are living very conservative politics and have conservative values. | ||
| Not every woman in a blue state has a blue hair, works at a blue bottle, and has abortions every year. | ||
| But it seems like an awful lot of them do have some of that. | ||
| Do you feel like there's this, I was just talking to Xavier DeRusso, I don't know if you heard, but I'm sure you know who he is. | ||
| You know, he's under the impression, and I've heard this from an awful lot of people, from younger people, Isabel Brown talks about this a lot, that the 20-something crowd really is gonna break very hard from the woke, that they got kinda hit by it the most in high school, in college. | ||
| And they're gonna break the opposite way, probably in record numbers, if not right now, at least as they get older. | ||
| Yeah, I think it's a trend when they're younger. | ||
| I see how a lot of these girls saw someone like Alice Cooper and they're like, oh, she's famous and she makes all this money and she interviews these celebrities. | ||
| But I think these girls are waking up and being like, hey, the messages that these girls are pressing are actually extremely harmful as they're pressing drugs and alcohol and sleeping around and all these things. | ||
| And I think these girls are starting to realize that maybe that's just not fulfilling and that's not the life they really want. | ||
| So I think they're starting to finally feel free because maybe they see girls like me online who they can relate to and are a little bit more younger and normal and they live in cities and they're like, well I'd rather be like her than like these girls and she seems a lot more normal and more relatable. | ||
| Emily, it has nothing to do with Super Mario Brothers, but we have actual election information that has just broke. | ||
| Donald Trump has won Kentucky and Indiana, so neither one of those are surprises. | ||
| Obviously, the numbers will keep rolling in, but he is the projected winner of those. | ||
| And it looks like Kamala Harris has won Vermont, so we've got three. | ||
| We've got three. | ||
| No surprises so far. | ||
| What are you expecting to happen tonight? | ||
| Like, do you think we even get a result tonight? | ||
| A lot of people seem to think that if we get something in the first couple hours, that kind of bodes well for Trump. | ||
| But the longer this thing drags on throughout the evening, or certainly into tomorrow and the rest of the week, that it just gets worse and worse for him. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I think it's absolutely ridiculous that we add in all this technology to make things more efficient and less errors and easier to do. | ||
| And I'm like, yet somehow it takes longer? | ||
| We would have better luck going to counting each individual ballot. | ||
| I think there should be no reason that they're not counted tonight. | ||
| But as we saw in the last election, it took a lot longer. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, all these mail-in ballots that statistically actually isn't even possible came in overnight for Joe Biden. | ||
| So I think there should be no reason why we can't tonight. | ||
| But I see a lot of people saying that it's going to take a lot longer, and so we'll see what happens. | ||
| Well, I voted today in the free state of Florida, where I had a pen and a piece of paper, and I handed it to somebody. | ||
| It was private and secure. | ||
| They asked for my ID. It was very refreshing. | ||
| Erin Wexler, you are also a Florida chick. | ||
| Are you in Florida this evening? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm in Florida. | |
| I'm in Palm Beach. | ||
| So I apologize to any viewers if this is grainy quality or if I break up at all. | ||
| The service isn't great because I'm here in the convention center right near Mar-a-Lago where thousands of Trump supporters and Trump team folks and just other Florida people are going to be hopefully, God willing, celebrating in a few hours. | ||
| So hopefully if he wins, I assume he does the acceptance thing probably at Mar-a-Lago or if they said that he'll do it there, that's like the offsite party, do you know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
If I had to guess, the acceptance speech would probably, or whatever the speech is, should be here. | |
| There's a stage that's set up, press is here. | ||
| Mar-a-Lago is a much smaller setting for a closer team and Mar-a-Lago members. | ||
| So those of us peasants who didn't make the cut to get a Mar-a-Lago table are here at the convention center. | ||
| What's the energy like there? | ||
| That's what people always want to know. | ||
| Is the energy good? | ||
| Because this is an energy thing. | ||
| We're always chasing energy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what's crazy is, you know, I'm a nervous Nancy. | |
| Dave knows this. | ||
| Emily knows this. | ||
| We're all friends. | ||
| So you guys know I'm a very type A anxious person. | ||
| And I feel very calm right now. | ||
| I think the energy here is quite calm. | ||
| And I think that if you were at a Kamala Harris At the Kamala Harris election watch party right now, you're probably not calm. | ||
| You're also probably surrounded by unbathed, fat-nippled freaks, as we know. | ||
| And here, everyone is attractive. | ||
| I just saw Kevin Sorbo, Mr. | ||
| Hercules, you know? | ||
| So we have Hercules, and they have Freaks where you just could look at someone and know that their child has a chest binder. | ||
| Like their tot isn't a chest binder right now. | ||
| You know, their tot is like trans at four years old. | ||
| And here, everyone seems normal. | ||
| Everyone's dressed very nicely. | ||
| Everyone's in like, you know, some sort of like nice business attire. | ||
| So yeah, it's good vibes here and no one seems nervous. | ||
| We're all just kind of waiting and it's kind of filling in. | ||
| Emily, she's very shy, isn't she? | ||
| It's like, what does she really think about this stuff? | ||
| Like, what do you really think? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How do I really feel about the pepperoni nipples that are over at the Kamala Harris election watch right now? | |
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| All the white dudes for Harris. | ||
| What do you guys make? | ||
| I was going to ask you about the white dudes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's what's at the Kamala Harris election watch. | |
| Emily, talk to me about the white dudes for Harris because we played a couple of their videos and I have never seen a group of asexual people who couldn't get a boner if their life depended on it. | ||
| We're not doing family friendly and it's not even 8 o'clock. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Well, I actually ran into a White Dudes for Harris. | ||
| If you haven't seen on my Twitter, it's about five million right now. | ||
| He was so lovely. | ||
| He wished that I was repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted and said that... | ||
| Oh my God, that was, of course I saw it. | ||
| We played it on the show. | ||
| We played it on the show. | ||
| Yeah, so I ran into them and they are just as insane as you would think they are. | ||
| It's also so funny hearing from a man who wants to quote-unquote protect women, protect daughters, that was what he posted, but hopes random ones are sexually assaulted. | ||
| So that's White Dudes for Harris in a nutshell. | ||
| You know, what's incredible about that video is you were in West Hollywood, and West Hollywood, with their rainbow crosswalks, I thought they were supposed to be diverse and lovely, and everyone's supposed to be great and wonderful, except all you did, as far as I could tell, was put on a red hat, and next thing you know, he literally was like, you should get raped, and you were basically like, what? | ||
| And he's like, yeah, you should get raped. | ||
| From what I understand, he's deleted all his social media accounts. | ||
| We probably won't hear from him again. | ||
| Yeah, well, he's scrubbing everything, but he was like a pretty well-known Hollywood producer. | ||
| He's worked on American Sniper and a bunch of films that are on Netflix. | ||
| So he's actually like a very well-known person. | ||
| He's also 61 years old, which is a little scary. | ||
| And not only that, we were technically on the border of Beverly Hills. | ||
| So he's so stupid and grew up in such a bubble, he doesn't realize Beverly Hills is completely red. | ||
| Yeah, of course, Beverly Hills is red because they want police and they don't want the immigrants and the crime and the drugs. | ||
| Erin, what else is happening over there that we need to know? | ||
| Are you bumping into all of the clown car of Trump people? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I really, I just got here, and so I didn't get the lay of the land, but I wanted to get in for our segment because I thought it would be exciting. | |
| They're handing out a, hold on, sorry, it's chaos right now. | ||
| On-the-ground coverage, very exciting. | ||
| We have free MAGA hats. | ||
| Sorry, I'm really bad at this. | ||
| Free MAGA hats in case you needed one at this point, although I didn't bring one in. | ||
| I wasn't sure what security would allow. | ||
| But people are filtering in. | ||
| It's still early in the night. | ||
| We have a long night ahead of us. | ||
| Hopefully celebrating in a few hours again. | ||
| Actually, I heard what you and Emily were discussing when I first signed on. | ||
| I was having some trouble before. | ||
| I actually think, I sort of disagree, and we'll find out what the numbers are after the election, but I don't think that the younger vote is necessarily going towards Trump. | ||
| I think a lot of it certainly is. | ||
| But I actually just think this time around we're going to see a lot of people who are not voting. | ||
| That's what I think we're going to see. | ||
| I know a lot of people who just cannot vote, but they would have been voting for Kamala. | ||
| They voted for Biden in the past. | ||
| They never have voted for Trump. | ||
| So we know a lot of people who switched over to Trump. | ||
| We know a lot of people who were Biden last time who are not voting at all. | ||
| But it's a lot of first-time Trump voters. | ||
| I don't know a single person who voted for Trump in 2020 who is not voting for him this time around. | ||
| Yeah, actually, that was the last question I had for you guys because we've seen this. | ||
| We all see it in our own lives. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| My audience is constantly telling me about this. | ||
| We all know these people who have now broke for Trump that had Trump-Duransman syndrome and all that. | ||
| I don't know the exam. | ||
| It's hard to actually fathom or just like thought game the person who was like, you know, I did vote for Trump once or twice. | ||
| Or I've been conservative and suddenly I'm voting for Kamala. | ||
| Emily, is that even, like, do you know anyone like that? | ||
| Or how could we even try to, if we were trying to steel man what someone like that might think, what would it be? | ||
| I mean, I talk to a lot of people, especially I talk to a lot of diverse people in LA, obviously, from different industries, from fashion, modeling, real estate, politics, whatever it is. | ||
| And I don't know one person who went from voting Trump to voting Democrat, especially because anyone that was left-leaning or middle loves Kennedy. | ||
| So they're going to vote for Trump as well. | ||
| The crazy thing is, I think we're forgetting about a huge party, which is the silent party. | ||
| The party that lies as well. | ||
| This is all my friends who are in the LGBTQ +, that are in movies, that do stuff with Netflix, that work at corporate companies. | ||
| They are all lying about who they're voting for, or they're secretly voting for Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And this is a lot of people. | |
| Ladies, I thank you for your time. | ||
| Erin, depending on what happens this evening, we may have to bring you back to give us some insider information. | ||
| Maybe you can get... | ||
| You always have a way. | ||
| I was at MSG with you. | ||
| You've got a way of finding people and getting in with the... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know what you're doing. | |
| I was able to get myself into Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| I feel like if I had started planning two weeks ago instead of two days ago, I could have somehow snuck in a suitcase. | ||
| But listen, tonight, either I'm in the exact right place and we're partying, or we're all swallowing cyanide pills, and I'm not sure which one is, you know, which it's going to be. | ||
| But, you know, it's going to be a good night. | ||
| And at this point, I feel like it's like you studied for the test, and now you still have to take it, but you know you studied as much as you could. | ||
| And that's really the mood here tonight. | ||
| We know we did everything we could. | ||
| And thank God, thank God Kamala Harris went after the unattainable Muslim vote of Michigan instead of choosing Josh Shapiro for governor of Pennsylvania. | ||
| We'd feel very differently right now if she actually had a brain and didn't hate Jews. | ||
| But thankfully, that's what it is. | ||
| So we'll see you guys in a few hours. | ||
| She's very shy. | ||
| I can never tell what she really thinks. | ||
| Erin, Emily, thank you. | ||
| Enjoy the rest of the evening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks, Dave. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| All right, guys, I think we are gonna try something now. | ||
| And remember, we're doing this all on the fly. | ||
| We did the Super Mario Brothers, so I am now at one, two. | ||
| We will come back to that later. | ||
| But I think what we are gonna do is I'm gonna go to the big screen. | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
| I'm gonna go to the big screen right now. | ||
| While I go to the big screen, we have some incredible, I believe we can call this breaking news. | ||
| Would we say this is breaking news from local affiliates around the country? | ||
| Local affiliates around the country are constantly breaking important stories. | ||
| We all know this, and you guys know I love when local affiliates do the good work that must be done, these small news stations reporting on things. | ||
| We're going to show you some local affiliates breaking some important news while I run out of the garage and up the stairs into the theater and then I will be in front of the big screen, in front of someone else talking in front of the big screen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, stay tuned. | |
| Once it's turned on, the sign will spell out Delicatessen. | ||
| Can you demonstrate for us what it's like to brush our teeth's pet just a little bit? | ||
| Certainly. | ||
| It's going to be areas of drist and mizzle. | ||
| Drist and what am I saying here? | ||
| Mist and drizzle. | ||
| I literally combined both. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, you've been joined by a beautiful lady. | |
| It's a man, actually, Derek. | ||
| I just kept hearing it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm ducking and everything. | |
| In the house, I got scared. | ||
| I dropped my hot pocket. | ||
| Let's get excited about that 69. | ||
| I mean, that's pretty good this time of year, isn't it? | ||
| I know you're excited about the wind, but how about that 69? | ||
| Over the last two years, hundreds have landed in the Summit County Medical Examiner's office. | ||
| My brother used to break in our house and steal the TV. You've got the projector over your face. | ||
| Well, there's going to be some layer of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's okay. | |
| It's a lot of that. | ||
| I don't want you to do it. | ||
| My songs are good. | ||
| Do you want the volume up or down? | ||
| Yeah, this is funny. | ||
| You can come back to this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just come back. | |
| Do you want volume? | ||
| - Tell Connor, come in. - If you want to start. - We're good, I think we are live. | ||
| I am in front of the big screen We do it a little bit differently here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We don't have the multi-million dollar budget that they have there. | |
| So we're doing this off a projector. | ||
| So some of that is affecting me right now. | ||
| But what you can see here are graphics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And these graphics have been set up by people. | |
| And here, I don't know what this is. | ||
| This guy, apparently, he's disappeared. | ||
| I don't know why this came on right now. | ||
| This is not funny. | ||
| Apparently he's missing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe he'll come back sometime soon. | |
| Markets seem to be doing pretty well at the moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Palantir! | |
| They have a little bit of Palantir. | ||
| They're doing okay. | ||
| Yeah, and we're going to wait. | ||
| In just moments, I think we're going to come back with some NBC News coverage. | ||
| We're testing this all out on the fly. | ||
| But what you are seeing right now is a human being standing in front of a giant screen. | ||
| There's Rudy Giuliani! | ||
| Right there, covered in the American flag. | ||
| He is actually a true American hero. | ||
| I see NBC News will return in two minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So we're in commercial break. | |
| See, we're testing this all out on the fly. | ||
| So what we're going to do is I'm going to run back downstairs, and next time I come up here, we'll do it not during a commercial for NBC News. | ||
| Stay tuned. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll be back. | |
| But now he's dead. | ||
| We'll probably sit around and cook some soups and eat bread and desserts and just get all fat and sassy. | ||
| A slight chance of some participation? | ||
| Participate? | ||
| It's rain. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's going to bring a possibility of some rain that will be moving into our area. | |
| Did you grab anything when you walked out the door? | ||
| I didn't grab nothing but two tortinos pizza out of the refrigerator and my doggy and we left. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| I tried to grab some other things, but they wasn't even worth it. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| Come a little closer. | ||
| I'm going to stay over here by Joni. | ||
| Do they know each... | ||
| hold him tight damn alright I think we are back Are we back? | ||
| We are in front of the wall. | ||
| I was going to go downstairs, and then we said, no, change the channel to the televised mental institution known as MSNBC, and get in front, and they show a map, and they break down the map, and they get it very, very granular, and then they mostly tell you why white men, especially middle-aged white men, middle-class middle-aged white men, are the devil. | ||
| That's mostly what he's focusing on right here, and you can see he's Right over here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's a lot of things happening over here, and it's very serious stuff over here. | |
| That's, I think, is a good picture of Donald Trump. | ||
| That's pretty good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So Donald Trump right now has 19 electoral votes. | |
| I guess he's got Kentucky and Indiana so far, unless something else happened. | ||
| And Kamala's got, what has she got? | ||
| She got Vermont. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So what's that? | |
| That's got to be like six or seven. | ||
| And what are we seeing here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, so she got three. | |
| There's only three over in Vermont. | ||
| Donald Trump won 61% of the vote in... | ||
| What happens when you stand in front of a giant screen? | ||
| That is a projector right there. | ||
| Kamala Harris, as you can see, this is her face, nicely shaped hair. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kind of goes like this. | |
| I feel like if I was a woman, that's the kind of hair I would have. | ||
| I would do the hair like this with a little bit of up right there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Donald Trump had a perfect comb-over for him right there. | |
| This is the Kornacki Cam. | ||
| This guy's a very serious guy. | ||
| They give him numbers. | ||
|
unidentified

Look at him. | |
| He's got numbers. | ||
| Look at all the paper. | ||
| This guy has a tremendous amount of paper. | ||
| He has several things that connect him. | ||
| That connects him right into the board, right there. | ||
| All of those devices are what connects him into the artificial intelligence that's going on over at MSNBC. Let's see if we have anything else. | ||
| What am I being told? | ||
| What am I being told? | ||
| We might have something else happening here. | ||

Not looking good for Trump, but it's only a couple thousand votes. | |
| Let's not focus on that too much. | ||

And Trump's got about 80%, with 84% in Union County, Georgia. | |
| All right, guys. | ||

| Well, the sign says that it's four quarters for an hour, but a quarter only gets you 15 minutes. | ||

| That's not an hour. | ||

| Well Mark, you would know about that. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| I'm Scott Mattis, live in Hernando, Mississippi, where there's been spottings of a cougar, and that's not it. | ||
| That looks like a house cat, but we're just feet away from where a local man rolled his cell phone video on what some say is a cougar. | ||
| I'll be right back with a live report. | ||
| But what we can say is that it looks for him in Uxbridge also something where there may be some concern. | ||
| He had a 12,000 majority here. | ||
| 12,000! | ||
| I love those videos. | ||
| That's it, people. | ||
| We're running around the house. | ||
| The kids were not happy that I didn't stop and play with them for a little bit, but that's what we do over here at the Rubin Report on election night for you people. | ||
| I ignore the children so that I can run upstairs into the theater, have a very bright light shine in my eye, and make fun of people over at MSNBC. That's Different than happening on any other channel you're watching across the internet right now. | ||
| We've got the New York Post, Carol Markowitz coming up in just a couple minutes. | ||
| We're connecting with her. | ||
| She's an interesting one who also moved to Florida the same exact week I did, came from New York, was very public about what they were doing during lockdowns with her kids and everything else. | ||
| And we've become fast friends and she's a true fighter for Florida and for freedom. | ||
| So we'll talk to her. | ||
| In just a moment, she wrote a great book about children and what the education system and the teachers' unions and everything else have done over the last couple of years, along with Bethany Mandel. | ||
| Should we bust it? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Let's run back to Super Mario Brothers, because I'm only at board one-two. | ||

Oh! | |

| Let's see what we do here. | ||
| Okay. | ||

|
Oh! | |
| Went small, so now that flower, which would have given me fire, will just make me big if I can get it. | ||
| Let's see what happens. | ||
| Oh, I don't think I can get enough juice to get across. | ||
| Can't do it, can't do it. | ||
| All right, you know what? | ||
| We're gonna pause right here and bring on Carol Markowitz from the New York Post, Florida woman herself. | ||
| Carol, in the middle of a fairly important Nintendo game, I don't know that anything else is happening tonight, but here you are. | ||
| How are you? | ||
| I am fabulous. | ||
| I'm in Florida like you, so it could only go so bad for us. | ||
| Well, I mentioned to the people right before you jumped on that you and I moved to Florida the same week. | ||
| You came from New York. | ||
| You were not happy with what they were doing to your kids largely in New York. | ||
| I came because I was not happy with what they were doing to me and my dog. | ||
| Now I've got kids here in the free state of Florida, but Florida's looking great tonight. | ||
| Are you making any sense of anything else? | ||
| It's just kind of too early to make too much sense of this, right? | ||
| It is. | ||
| I hear that amendments three and four are not going to pass the 60% threshold, so that seems positive. | ||
| It really would be a big win for Governor DeSantis if that holds true. | ||
| Other than that, really no big news yet. | ||
| Apparently Donald Trump is doing very well with Latino voters all over the country though, and that would mean a big shift in Florida as well. | ||
| Now, help me here. | ||
| You're a learned woman, work at various reputable organizations. | ||
| How would a white supremacist do well with brown-skinned Latino people? | ||
| Well, they're white adjacent. | ||
| You have to understand, anyone who doesn't vote the way that they want is white. | ||
| And so, you know, big news for a lot of the Cubans in Miami. | ||
| Speaking of white adjacent, you've been pretty outspoken on getting some of the Jews to wake up, and especially post-October 7th. | ||
| My sense is that we are going to see a record break with the Jews to the Republicans. | ||
| I think it might be an all-time record. | ||
| Probably will still disappoint us one way or another, not enough. | ||
| But what do you make about what's happening with the Jews, particularly since October 7th? | ||
| Yeah, you know, from your lips to God's ears, Dave Rubin. | ||
| I think that a lot of Jews have woken up. | ||
| Obviously, I think that the number should be way higher than it is. | ||
| Donald Trump got 30% of the Jewish vote in 2020. | ||
| I've been predicting 38%. | ||
| But in the recent days, I've heard from so many liberal Jewish friends who would never in a million years vote for a Republican, that they voted for Donald Trump, that I'm now You know, I say I'm drinking the over 40% Kool-Aid. | ||
| That's where I am. | ||
| And I think that it's possible. | ||
| What do you make, you know, people ask me this all the time. | ||
| Why is it that Jews in such large numbers vote for the Democrats? | ||
| I mean, Jews who kind of do well, thus the left doesn't even like Jews. | ||
| There's many reasons they like their minorities oppressed and Jews aren't oppressed enough, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| You would think that Jews at least would vote in their own financial interests, but generally Jews don't even do that. | ||
| What do you think is really going on there? | ||
| I have the total answer for you. | ||
| It is that the Jews that are voting for Democrats largely came to America at the turn of the last century. | ||
| They missed the pogroms in Russia and Ukraine. | ||
| They missed World War II. They had no strife. | ||
| They have no idea what's out there. | ||
| You get immigrant Jews like me who came here from the Soviet Union in the 70s and 80s and into the 90s. | ||
| You get Iranian Jews, you get Iraqi Jews, you get Israeli Jews, you get Syrian Jews, you get Jews from places where they have experienced strife and trouble and they get what a threat is. | ||
| I think those Jews have voted Republican for a long time. | ||
| So what you're seeing now is this post-October 7th that even the Jews who have been safe in their Jewish life in America their whole entire life and for generations Have woken up and seen that maybe those crazy Jews who arrived here from crazy places were right. | ||
| Maybe that we need to make changes in who we vote for. | ||
| And we need to go with the side that not only supports Israel, that's a part of it, but supports us as Jews in America, lets us defend ourselves. | ||
| That's such a big part of it for me. | ||
| And, you know, really wasn't out there celebrating on October 8th, one of the main things, I think, for a lot of Jews. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What do you make of, I know your feelings on this because we talk about a lot of this stuff all the time privately, but how radical the Democrats have become. | ||
| That it's not just like, oh, there's a few of them that are kind of nutty, which is what people thought maybe ate. | ||
| Six or eight years ago, that it largely has overtaken the party. | ||
| Obama, just in this last week, again, repeating very fine people, lecturing black guys, like just the endless pandering. | ||
| There's just not much left there, even if we're not part of that party. | ||
| You know, I mentioned the Latino vote, and as I said it, I was like, should I make the Latinx joke? | ||
| But that's not even really done anymore because they realized what a vote suck that was for them. | ||
| There was a study that Latino voters were literally turning against Democrats because of the term Latinx. | ||
| Let me tell you, that term was everywhere a few years ago. | ||
| My son, who is now 11 when we lived in New York, you know, we were coming up on the three-year anniversary, came home from school one day saying Latinx. | ||
| So it was everywhere. | ||
| The insanity was everywhere. | ||
| I had someone say to me today, you know, because all this conversation about the male vote, the female vote, oh, you know, since when do we care about gender, right? | ||
| But somebody said to me on Twitter today, I made the joke, I was told men could get pregnant, and they were like, no, you weren't. | ||
| No, you weren't. | ||
| We weren't? | ||
| Now we weren't told that men could get pregnant? | ||
| What was the whole last few years all about? | ||
| How am I a birthing person if men can't get pregnant? | ||
| So I think that they're trying to dial it back because they see what a loss it is Look, if Kamala Harris pulls it out tonight, that means no lessons will get learned. | ||
| And obviously they'll go right back to pregnant men and Latinx, you know, doing their thing. | ||
| But I don't think that's going to happen. | ||
| And I think that they should take a lesson and try to get back to sanity, try to be more normal. | ||
| You know, that's really the goal here. | ||
| Carol, I'm told we have breaking news. | ||
| It is a picture of Jill Biden as she walked out of the voting booth. | ||
| I don't know that we have one of Joe Biden walking out of the voting booth. | ||
| And we're also, I don't know if you heard this already, but apparently Joe Biden, regardless of whether Kamala wins or loses, will not be at her acceptance speech or her concession speech tonight. | ||
| These people really hate each other, don't they? | ||
| They've really got to hate each other. | ||
| Yeah, I think that they really do. | ||
| I mean, he has to feel that she was at the center of getting rid of him. | ||
| She's also wearing red, by the way, I should note. | ||
| That what? | ||
| She's also wearing red, I should note, which is sort of kind of interesting in that Joe has been throwing her under the bus for a couple of weeks now. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I mean, the fact that she comes out in a red pantsuit, what is Jill Biden trying to tell us? | ||
| Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they Did vote for Trump. | ||
| I think we're gonna hear some amazing stories of these last few months in the Biden White House, once obviously the pressure's off from trying to get Kamala in. | ||
| We're gonna find out what really went down, what they really thought of each other. | ||
| I'm looking forward to the tell-all books. | ||
| How worried are you if she wins tonight? | ||
| That America as we know it, we really can't get it back. | ||
| I mean, I think a lot of us have been thinking, you know, post-COVID that eventually things would get back to something like normal and we live in a bubble here in Florida where things are flourishing and great. | ||
| But that the national project, in effect, the thing that your parents brought you to America for, you know, just within your generation, your life, would be over. | ||
| It's so tough because I do feel this sense of protection in Florida that I would love to extend to friends and family in blue states. | ||
| But the fact is that even if Donald Trump wins tonight, which I hope and think that will happen, It's tough to say that the blue states will even fix themselves then, because they'll just double down on being part of the opposition to Donald Trump. | ||
| They'll go back to being the resistance. | ||
| I mean, the fact that Washington, D.C. boarded up the windows of restaurants and bars and stuff tonight, they're expecting trouble if things don't go the way that they want it to. | ||
| Right, they're not expecting Trump supporters to rampage through DC. They're expecting Kamala supporters to rampage through DC. But my point is that civilization is very hard to save when it's already starting to decline. | ||
| I hope that this election could turn things around. | ||
| I hope Donald Trump wins. | ||
| Get on the right foot to head back to where the American project should be. | ||
| But I'm worried about these states even if Donald Trump wins. | ||
| I don't know that it's going to be as easy to claw back as we might imagine. | ||
| And I think as we let in, let's say, more illegal immigrants Millions and millions of people have come across that we don't know anything about them and they don't share our values and all of that. | ||
| It will get harder and harder for us to get back to where we hope this country will be. | ||
| Again, I feel very secure in Florida. | ||
| I wish that other people felt that security in their states. | ||
| And I hope people vote in their local elections. | ||
| I hope they make changes in their local elections as well. | ||
| Yeah, let me just add to that real quick, which is that, you know, in the area of Miami that I'm in, we had a whole bunch of ordinances and propositions and straw polls and all of these things. | ||
| And I made sure, and I made sure that David was well aware of all of them. | ||
| Go in there, and at least you have some degree of control of that if you think that the federal thing is completely out of control. | ||
| Carol, I don't know if you saw it, but it went across the chiron on the bottom while you were speaking a moment ago. | ||
| Trump has won South Carolina. | ||
| Not much of a surprise there. | ||
| Carol, I have one other question for you. | ||
| Which is, you are one of the few people, I think under 20 people on planet Earth, who have tasted Dave Rubin's tequila. | ||
| Don't say the name, don't say the name. | ||
| But I have a little bit of it right here. | ||
| Your unadulterated opinion. | ||
| Honestly, I am a whiskey drinker and I loved that tequila. | ||
| We drank it all night, the night that we drank it. | ||
| It was a really good time. | ||
| It is delicious. | ||
| I cannot wait to be stocking it by the case in my home. | ||
| You let me know when that happens. | ||
| All right, and I'm told we have major news right now. | ||
| They want to keep you on for this news. | ||
| It's going to be, update, Brian Stelter is still gay. | ||
| I did not know that. | ||
| I mean, I thought it, sort of. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You got me. | |
| You really got me there. | ||
| My director's drinking tequila, too, apparently. | ||
| Carol, I thank you! | ||
| And we will, I'll text you probably in five minutes so we can continue this while I'm doing some other stuff. | ||
| All right, we're gonna bust out the drinking game right now because I shouldn't be the only one that has to drink tequila around here. | ||
| This is the official Rubin Report election night drinking game, and I have no doubt that you guys have your drink of choice. | ||
| Do we have the image up right now? | ||
| Let's see what we've got. | ||
| So the election drinking game is this. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| You are to take a sip of your drink of choice when the news throws to a chart guy. | ||
| If you're watching MSNBC, you're gonna be drunk in a half hour because they love these chart people. | ||
| They've got people in front of maps constantly, any kind of chart. | ||
| They just love it. | ||
| And they will tell you things that somehow they didn't know five minutes before as if they are exactly true. | ||
| It's incredible what they're doing over there. | ||
| That means you have to take a sip. | ||
| You also have to take a sip every time someone on mainstream media says that democracy is under attack. | ||
| Oh man, people are gonna be wasted, wasted. | ||
| You also have to take a sip if CNN's pet Republican is allowed to speak. | ||
| Well, that probably won't happen very often. | ||
| So for that one, you probably, you know, they fired, what, two of their pet Republicans. | ||
| They fired Ryan James Gerdusky a couple days ago, or what was it, a week and a half ago for a silly beeper joke, even though the heart of what he said was completely true. | ||
| So that one, probably not too bad. | ||
| And then you have to take a shot, which by the way, I do have the official Dorothy Sbornak B. Arthur shot glass here. | ||
| Where am I looking? | ||
| Where am I looking? | ||
| Oh, I've got to go over here, right? | ||
| Somewhere over here. | ||
| Somewhere over there. | ||
| Over there. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| I've got the Dorothy Sbornak. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Look at that zoom in on the lens right there. | ||
| Shot glass. | ||
| Right there. | ||
| And Dorothy's Borneck, why would you be drinking out of a Dorothy's Borneck, shot glass, Dave? | ||
| Yes, Bea Arthur, wonderful woman, excellent actress. | ||
| Maud, also, of course, a little before my time. | ||
| But Dorothy was a classical liberal in The Golden Girls, often talked about classical liberalism, the ideas of classical liberalism, and I have no doubt that she would be a Trump supporter now, so I thought that would be appropriate. | ||
| So you have to take a shot every time a lesbian is on MSNBC, and that includes Mark Cuban, so that could be big. | ||
| Every time Donald Trump and fascism are mentioned, that also, that's gonna happen a lot. | ||
| When Maricopa County has election problems, I assume that's happening already. | ||
| Of course, that's in Arizona. | ||
| And if a celebrity is shown endorsing a candidate, you have to take a shot. | ||
| People are going to be under the table. | ||
| You have to finish your drink. | ||
| When a swing state is officially called, so that has not happened yet as far as I know, when a former presidential candidate is interviewed, that'll probably happen a lot throughout the evening, and when Trump or Harris gives a speech, which I don't see either one of those happening probably before midnight. | ||
| It is gonna be a long night. | ||
| And then the team felt that we should put, please drink responsibly in there. | ||
| Frankly, I don't care how you drink. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| You do what you gotta do. | ||
| What do I care? | ||
| But they said put that in there, so you know. | ||
| You do what you gotta do. | ||
| I believe we have something to throw to right now. | ||
| And this involves, I think, a woman. | ||
| No, no, this involves a man. | ||
| This is a male Kamala Harris supporter. | ||
| Oh, oh my. | ||
| Do we have it? | ||
| Do we have it? | ||
| Let's see if we have it. | ||
| We're gonna grab this. | ||
| We have a male Kamala Harris supporter. | ||
| They do exist, apparently. | ||
| And he's gonna be very emotive over something. | ||
| I haven't seen this before either. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who'd you vote for today? | |
| I voted for Kamala Harris. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| I have three daughters, four children overall, and women's rights is pretty important to them and my daughters. | ||
| Sorry, I'm getting a little emotional about that. | ||
| I didn't think that I was going to do that, but just their bodies, their choice type of a mentality. | ||
| I want them to grow up in a world that's welcoming to everybody. | ||
| So yeah, that's why I cast my vote today. | ||
| I can see why you guys threw this one in. | ||
| It's like that sort of, as Gad said, who will be on the show later, calls suicidal empathy, that these people have, it's good to have empathy. | ||
| It's good to have empathy and feel the pain of your co-citizen, your friend, your family member, but not suicidal empathy. | ||
| And he's so concerned of my body, my choice, but as a Democrat voter, he probably was for forcing people to be injected with things. | ||
| When the state came around and said, you better force your daughters to get injected with an experimental vaccine that actually isn't a vaccine, he probably was for it. | ||
| I think actually one of the reasons that they went so hardcore with the vaccine on kids was they knew once you allowed the state to force you to inject your kid with something, you could really never turn against the state, because then you look pretty damn evil. | ||
| You'd have to really look in the mirror and be like, holy shit, I did not do my duty as a parent. | ||
| I did not protect my child from being injected with God knows what. | ||
| Oh, and now they're having some sort of side effect, or if it was a young male, That they're having myocarditis or whatever it might be. | ||
| But again, this is what they've done. | ||
| They've made this into a bizarro sex war where you have sort of These marginal neither here nor there guys, and I don't mean to make this about this one specific man, I'm sure he's a perfectly fine human being, but they take these guys and they're like, oh, you've got a wife and daughters. | ||
| They're coming for the women, they're coming for the girls, and they're not. | ||
| You wanna protect women, you wanna protect girls, how about close the border? | ||
| How about make sure that the cities are clean and that there aren't drugs and homeless people on the streets so they don't get accosted? | ||
| How about make sure that people can't just walk into your house and take your house? | ||
| Right, which these are all things that are happening, right? | ||
| It's just absolutely crazy. | ||
| We have something out of CNN right now. | ||
| I believe it involves Jake Tapper. | ||
| I am always interested in Jake Tapper because people always say, when you say, they'll say to me, Dave, you're always making fun of CNN, but CNN has Jake Tapper. | ||
| He's not terrible. | ||
| Well, here's Jake Tapper. | ||

|
Trump is winning them by 11 points in these early exit poll results, 54% to 30%. | |
| Jake, four years ago, Joe Biden won independent voters in Georgia when he won the state by nine points. | ||
| So we've seen a swing of... | ||
| 20 points towards Trump in terms of the margin from 9-point advantage four years ago with independence for Biden to now an 11-point advantage with independence for Trump in Georgia, Jake. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| They're a giant. | ||
| And, Dana, that is really significant. | ||
| We see some incremental changes here and there when it comes to young voters. | ||
| She's doing slightly better. | ||
| Non-college whites, he's doing slightly better. | ||
| But that independence swing is wild. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a huge swing. | |
| All right, so that's rather extraordinary. | ||
| And what I like about hearing independent voters, it's not saying white people, black people, people with a limp and somebody who's got a lazy eye. | ||
| It's saying independent voters, people who aren't part of a party, who maybe have sort of a mix match of different political opinions, never found a home in either party, that they are now breaking in massive ways. | ||
| I mean, that sounded like almost a 20 point swing from what happened with Biden in Georgia last time. | ||
| That is absolutely huge. | ||
| That's actually indicative of hopefully what we will see more largely throughout the evening. | ||
| But I just mentioned my friend Gad Saad, the sexiest man on the internet. | ||
| And I believe he is joining us live from Canada. | ||
| Gad, they haven't put you in the gulags in Canada yet, you sexy beast. | ||
| They're coming for me. | ||
| This is my last communique before I go to Gulag 13. | ||
| And I also note that you're not hiding under the desk. | ||
| You're usually hiding under the desk because somebody, Donald Trump is coming for you or some other horrific figure is coming and you're hiding in the desk and your wife is often in the distance making sure that you're being fed well and that you're okay. | ||
| Yes, as you know, I had a huge stock of cod, of tuna and nuts, but they ran out so I had to come out from under the desk. | ||
| I don't know if you heard my previous interview or what I was talking about, but I mentioned a phrase that you have been bringing up quite extensively lately. | ||
| I think you are, if I'm not mistaken, your next book is gonna be about it, but you've written about it and we've talked about it before, suicidal empathy. | ||
| And that really seems to be the affliction across the West That is driving the liberals, unfortunately, to kill us all. | ||
| That empathy has become the most important piece of the hierarchy. | ||
| Can you explain maybe when you first saw this and why you think it's so dangerous? | ||
| Because I think it's perfectly indicative of what is happening with this election right now as it comes to the intersectional alliance that the left is trying to put together. | ||
| Yeah, thanks for the question. | ||
| That's exactly the topic of my next book, Exactly Suicidal Empathy. | ||
| So look, many emotions make sense when they are triggered within certain ranges, right? | ||
| So take, for example, OCD, obsessive-compulsive disorder. | ||
| It is a maladaptive firing of an otherwise adaptive process. | ||
| Now, that sounds like a mouthful, so let me explain it. | ||
| It makes perfect evolutionary sense for us to check that the back door is locked before we go to sleep. | ||
| But we check it once, we make sure it's closed, and then we move on. | ||
| OCD is the hyperactivation of that mechanism. | ||
| I'm stuck by the door, rechecking and rechecking for the next eight hours. | ||
| So there is nothing wrong with empathy. | ||
| It's a laudable, virtuous emotion to have. | ||
| The problem arises when it hyperactivates. | ||
| And it targets the wrong people. | ||
| So, for example, when it comes to immigration, to spend all of our capital of empathy on illegal immigrants over American vets would be a manifestation of suicidal empathy. | ||
| To argue that all immigrants are alike, because people will, for example, write to me, well, why are you against immigration? | ||
| You're an immigrant. | ||
| Your buddy Elon Musk is an immigrant. | ||
| Well, that presumes that all immigrants are equal, just like George Orwell said, all animals are equal except some are more equal than others. | ||
| So suicidal empathy is simply the maladaptive application of an otherwise adaptive emotion. | ||
| So how do you think it got weaponized? | ||
| Because it seems to me that if we just had a certain set of people that maybe were a little too empathetic or a little too emotional or whatever, that that could operate functionally in a society. | ||
| But it seems to me that it has been weaponized to the point that everyone else now is Hitler, everyone is a racist, Donald Trump showing up at MSG is like Hitler in 1930, whatever, all of the stuff. | ||
| And it seemingly has taken over an entire... | ||
| It's not even electorate. | ||
| It has taken over an entire segment of the population that will gladly import people who will behead them. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| In Quebec, by the way, the Quebec government is perfectly happy to let in hundreds of thousands of Muslim immigrants as long as before they behead you, they say bonjour. | ||
| So as long as the beheadings happen in French, then it's all good because at least we've protected our linguistic heritage. | ||
| But to come back to your point of how that happened, let's draw an analogy with football, right? | ||
| What you're trying to maximize to win a game is to score more points than the other team, right? | ||
| Everybody agrees that that's the rules by which you win. | ||
| Imagine if somebody came along and said, no, no, no. | ||
| I have to simply hold on to the ball more than the other team. | ||
| That's what I use for me to win the game, right? | ||
| And so this is what's happening in the West. | ||
| It's no longer about protecting our foundational values. | ||
| The highest goal, the most virtuous objective that you can achieve is to be orgiastically empathetic. | ||
| And of course, that results in suicidal empathy. | ||
| I'd like to go into another phrase that you mention all the time. | ||
| By the way, did you see the chyron that we put under you? | ||
| You're going to love it. | ||
| Can we put that back under him? | ||
| I don't know if he'll be able to see it, but this is very important stuff we're doing over here. | ||
| You have a very intense history academically. | ||
| You've worked at many universities, all sorts of great things. | ||
| But we thought that putting this under you would be most... | ||
| I love it. | ||
| By the way, I was a bit offended that earlier you said the sexiest man on the internet. | ||
| I'm the sexiest man on earth. | ||
| My sexiness is not restricted to the internet, buddy. | ||
| Ah, in case there's someone that's super sexy who just doesn't have a phone. | ||
| All right, fair enough. | ||
| Well, we'll have the team look into that. | ||
| You know, it's okay. | ||
| As I said, it's a very different show than you're seeing on CNN. But I do want to ask you about another phrase that you talk about all the time. | ||
| So we've got suicidal empathy, and then, oh my God, I lost it just as I'm saying it right now. | ||
| Oh, give me one of your other good ones. | ||
| Ostrich Parasitic Syndrome. | ||
| Yes, that is it. | ||
| The set of people that know something is wrong. | ||
| So let's say they acknowledge, boy, these empathetic people, they're getting a whole bunch of us killed and they're importing all of these people and something's not good here, but they instead choose to bury their head in the ground. | ||
| Thank you for catching me up on the question. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So take, for example, Islam, right? | ||
| If you presume that it is completely gauche and inappropriate for you to ever criticize someone's religion, then you become bound to that rule of conduct, right? | ||
| So it doesn't matter how much evidence slaps you in the face to argue that maybe Islam might be more inherently violent than say Jainism. | ||
| I'm unwilling to admit to that and therefore metaphorically I bury my head in the sand and presume that it hasn't happened or I look for alternative causal explanations. | ||
| So I can show you a list of 40,000 terrorist acts that have been committed Since 9-11 alone in nearly 70 countries, and then Bill Nye, the science guy, will say that it is climate change that's causing this, or it's lack of art exposure that's causing this, or it's the Zionist occupation. | ||
| So all causal explanations are okay as long as you don't blame the noble faith. | ||
| That's ostrich parasitic syndrome mixed up with suicidal empathy because I want to be empathetic to that religion of the noble brown people. | ||
| We're doing a bit of the sad greatest hits here, but I do want to do one other because this is election night and because I have seen something really extraordinary. | ||
| I was just talking about it with Carol. | ||
| So many liberals, former, let's say, New York Cali liberals, whatever that meant, moderate Dems, who for the first time are breaking towards Trump right now. | ||
| One of the phrases that you've talked about that has stopped so many people from doing that over the years is that they consider Trump an aesthetic injury. | ||
| And I really like this. | ||
| And I think it's something that finally a certain set of people are getting over this idea that, oh my God, he eats ketchup with his steak that's well done. | ||
| But that's not the only part of the aesthetic injury. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And here, imagine that this were the cork of a wine bottle. | ||
| So there's an expression in Arabic that says, getting drunk simply by smelling the cork of the wine bottle. | ||
| That's exactly what an aesthetic injury is, right? | ||
| So look, I'm going to smell now the cork of the Barack Obama bottle. | ||
| He's got a mellifluous voice. | ||
| He's got a radiant smile. | ||
| He's tall and lanky. | ||
| It might be the case that every single syllable that he's ever uttered is a platitudinal sack of bullshit. | ||
| But it doesn't matter because I'm drunk smelling his cork. | ||
| On the other hand, when I smell the Trump cork, look, he's cantankerous. | ||
| He's gross. | ||
| He's overweight. | ||
| So at no point did I mention a policy decision that either makes me like him or dislike him. | ||
| I just have to smell the cork and here comes the aesthetic injury. | ||
| Yeah, and unfortunately too many people just operate on that. | ||
| I think you came up with another phrase right there, the platitudinal sack of bullshit. | ||
| That seems like it should definitely- That is why I am the poet and professor of the people. | ||
| Before I let you go, in that you are up in Canada, and it seems to me that Canada actually, joking aside for a moment, Canada actually is in far worse shape than America is. | ||
| Would you like to give a warning to some of our American friends who, I don't know if anyone, well, everyone's basically voted if they're gonna vote at this point, but just to the American that is kind of unsure or doesn't quite see what I think you and I see the dangers to be in the world at the moment? | ||
| So Canada has been under dear leader Justin Trudeau for now nine years, since 2015. | ||
| He's been elected three times. | ||
| On every conceivable metric that you could think of in measuring the quality of a society, we've gone precipitously downhill. | ||
| And that's because Justin Trudeau and Kamala Harris exactly share the same ideological rapture. | ||
| By the way, they're both from Montreal. | ||
| Both Kamala Harris and, as a matter of fact, they both grew up about 15 minutes from where I am doing this show with you. | ||
| Middle class family? | ||
| Middle class family? | ||
| A middle class family in arguably the highest income neighborhood in Canada. | ||
| By the way, my sister lives in that neighborhood, so I know it very well. | ||
| This is not a humble brag. | ||
| It literally is the case that every home is a castle. | ||
| So it's such nonsense that she says, so the warning to the United States, unless you wish to emulate the trajectory that Canada has taken, I hope that you've made the right choice tonight. | ||
| Connor, can you put the Chiron under him one more time so he can give a nice smile and give the people what they want as I say goodbye to him? | ||
| We're gonna throw to it one more time. | ||
| We're just gonna give... | ||
| It's really giving Gad what he wants more than giving the people what he wants. | ||
| I think we've got it. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| It is worldwide sex symbol. | ||
| Gad said, Gad, I love you. | ||
| I can't wait to see you again. | ||
| I keep trying to get you to move to Florida, but you're... | ||
| We're working on it. | ||
| Let's put it that way. | ||
| Thank you, buddy. | ||
| Take care. | ||
| Cheers. | ||
| Good to see you. | ||
| All right, guys. | ||
| We have about 20 more people. | ||
| We've got major heavy hitters from Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson and Megyn Kelly. | ||
| We're going to be doing some cross-stream stuff, a whole bunch of stuff. | ||
| But right now, this is incredible. | ||
| This is absolutely incredible what we've got. | ||
| You know, it's one thing. | ||
| We have him. | ||
| All right, we had a little technical hiccup. | ||
| We're gonna get to somebody. | ||
| We have somebody on the ground. | ||
| People say, Dave, okay, you could just talk to these Trump supporters, these crazy right-wing maniacs, these racists all night long. | ||
| Oh, Florida's been called. | ||
| There you go, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So this is official now. | |
| It has not been called yet. | ||
| 77% in Florida right now. | ||
| So these are the live results that we're seeing right now. | ||
| So Donald Trump, as far as I can tell, has 23 electoral votes. | ||
| Kamala has three electoral votes. | ||
| And in terms of the popular vote that is official at this point, it's 4.7 million to Donald Trump and 3.9 million to Kamala Harris. | ||
| All right, you guys will let me know when we have our on-the-ground reporter. | ||
| Oh, we have our on-ground reporters. | ||
| So this is very interesting, guys. | ||
| People always say, as I just mentioned, Dave, you can talk to these right-wingers, you can talk to these Trump people, these Hitler people. | ||
| Can't you get us a pro-Harris person and put them down by Trump Tower and get them to talk to some of the Trump people? | ||
| Well, we've got Lionel McGloin on the line right now. | ||
| He is outside of Trump Tower in New York City. | ||
| Are you in Trump Tower right now, Lionel? | ||
|
unidentified
|
To Dave, I'm so sorry. | |
| I was literally, my date ran late with my boyfriend, Luis. | ||
| I'm actually at his loft right now in Bushwick, but much apologies. | ||
| But, you know, I feel like I should be helping. | ||
| I was told as a homosexual Kamala Harris supporter that you were out there meeting some of these Trump people. | ||
| What did you find out? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, I was. | |
| And, you know, they're very, you know, I think this election is all about the TDSs, right? | ||
| We have the two TDSs. | ||
| We get accused a lot of having Trump derangement syndrome. | ||
| But what I've also realized from all these Trump supporters is they are just overwhelmed with this Trump dick riding syndrome. | ||
| And so I want to know if their dick riding ability of Trump translates at all to the bedroom. | ||
| That's what has me curious because I hear a lot of them are actually closeted. | ||
| What are you seeing on the ground in New York City? | ||
| It's a strange place, New York City. | ||
| It smells like half weed, half urine. | ||
| It's very confusing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, it smells like love, baby. | |
| It smells like the party of love and joy and a big Kamala W. And it smells like Brad Summer all over again. | ||
| You know, sweaty bodies just, you know, infused with lovely, delicious ecstasy and having the best time. | ||
| You're a young influencer out there. | ||
| I missed Brat Summer. | ||
| I was off the grid for August. | ||
| Can you explain to some of my older viewers what Brat Summer is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| So Mother is Charli XCX, and she released her album Brat, which is green album cover, very simple font writing. | ||
| And the album just took over the summer and took over TikTok. | ||
| Did you ever hear the song Apple? | ||
| They say the apple don't fall far from the tree. | ||
| Yes, they've had me listen to it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Even on Mar-a-Lago, they play that one? | |
| Nice. | ||
| So anyway, that took over the summer. | ||
| And when Joe so politely stepped down and made way for our queen Kamala, Charlie XCX endorsed Kamala as being brat. | ||
| And brat is... | ||
| Brad is just being so you, it's being free, not tied down by anything, and so Kamala is Brad. | ||
| I guess it's talking to people when you actually have your camera on and you're not really talking to people on the phone. | ||
| I'm told we're going to throw to a video of you at the Republican National Convention. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Would you rather date an illegal immigrant or a liberal? | |
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| That is like the worst question ever. | ||
| I don't know, like, probably, probably, oh my gosh, I would say, no, I would say an illegal immigrant. | ||
| That's a tough one for a conservative, illegal immigrant or liberal. | ||
| Illegal immigrant could steal your house, liberal could ruin the rest of your life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True, true, so I've heard. | |
| I mean, I've always said though, you know, I just think conservatives really, like Donald Trump, he's just never had the experience of being with a Honduran guy. | ||
| Because Honduran guys will absolutely rip you. | ||
| Their stamina, you know, they can go under high duress. | ||
| And they're just absolutely incredible. | ||
| I mean, so I think if Trump was with the Honduran guy and most conservatives, they would see, I think it would totally, she would actually not only would you rather be with a legal immigrant, she would just be with one, I think. | ||
| Thank God Russell Brand is on next and not Jordan Peterson. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to need a little buffer zone before we get to JP. Lionel, have you been with any Honduran guys, Dave? | |
| I don't think so. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| We'd have to check the records. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Try it out. | |
| Lionel, nice to see you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See you, Dave. | |
| All right, guys, as we roll into the 8 o'clock hour, we've got, oh, we just, are we switching it up? | ||
| I'm told we have Jordan Peterson at 8 o'clock, and then I think we're going to have Russell Brand after, so we somehow are going to go from that to Jordan Peterson, but that's what happens on election night on a free Whelan-Rubin report all happening live. | ||
| But I think we're going to have a couple, we have a couple clips that we're going to play and a few other things. | ||
| Should we jump back to, I paused Mario right before we jumped in with Gad Sad. | ||
| Oh, this is very important. | ||
| You know, a lot of people are focused on California these days, that it's the lost state, you know, that horrible things have happened to California. | ||
| And I fled California, as you know, and many, many people have left California. | ||
| But Sonoma, Wine country. | ||
| It's one of the great places that still remains in California. | ||
| And this video, this just came out. | ||
| I think this is a news report. | ||
| It's a local news report. | ||
| I think from earlier today, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
| And well, it's just wild. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you ready? | |
| Ready to try it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, sure. | |
| Let's go. | ||
| Not disgusting. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| All right. | ||
| You ready? | ||
| Give us a 30 second time. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| So what's the deal here? | ||
| There's a contest to stomp. | ||
| And how are you measuring who does the best stomping? | ||
| And whoever stomps the most shoots wins an overnight stay, but it's not the only thing you can do. | ||
| The measuring cups are down below, right? | ||
| The measuring cups are down below. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And if you win, you get to stay at Chateau Elan. | ||
| And what else do you have going on here? | ||
| Well, if grapes don't be quite your thing, you can come and spend the day listening to live music, eating international foods, having wine tours and tasting, vineyard tours, seminars, arts and crafts. | ||
| It's a lot of fun. | ||
| A whole day. | ||
| Ow! | ||
| I can't breathe! | ||
| Stop! | ||
| Ow! | ||
| Ow We'll be back right after this. | ||
| I told you guys this was gonna be an election show like no other. | ||
| That was the first, I think that was literally the first video, viral video that I saw on the internet where I was like, oh my God, the internet's a cool place. | ||
| It's not just for a bunch of weirdos, although here we are and it kind of turned out that way. | ||
| But you guys may remember that one. | ||
| We've got a couple other classics on the way. | ||
| I think we've got Jordan Peterson on the line from the Daily Wire over in Nashville. | ||
| Is that right, Mr. | ||
| Peterson, Dr. | ||
| Peterson? | ||
| Hello, Mr. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Rubin. | |
| How are you doing? | ||
| I'm all right, man. | ||
| I mean, it's an interesting evening. | ||
| You know, Western society kind of hanging on by a thread. | ||
| It could all end tonight. | ||
| Maybe we continue with the thing. | ||
| How are you feeling? | ||
| I'm on the edge, just like everybody else, watching this crazy American spectacle unfold with all these... | ||
| Comical conservatives at the Daily Wire. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a maximally weird world, Dave. | |
| Did you ever think when you were a simple clinician 20, 30 years ago that you would be hanging out with all these right-wing maniacs in Nashville on election night at the precipice of the end of Western civilization? | ||
| No, I gotta say that wasn't one of my visions of the future. | ||
| I mean, after hanging around in the cowboy bar the night before? | ||
| No, that isn't really how I saw things going. | ||
| But, you know, in for a penny, in for a pound. | ||
| So joking aside for a second, you're back on tour and everyone knows we toured for about a year and a half together. | ||
| It was, I think, back on it like it was a dream. | ||
| Did that actually even happen? | ||
| But what I saw you do night after night was fix people, straighten people up, get them to sit up and stand up straight with their shoulders back. | ||
| You did it to me and millions of people. | ||
| Are you seeing things the way that the message is being received? | ||
| Is it different now than it was years ago? | ||
| What's kind of shifted in the culture and in the reaction to what you're doing over the years? | ||
| Well, one of the things that we have noticed with the crowds, I would say, is that they're more put together than they were six years ago. | ||
| So most of the people who show up, maybe it's because the ticket prices have increased in price. | ||
| You never know. | ||
| But I don't think so. | ||
| I think the reason is that most of the guys who show up now are much more put together than they were six years ago. | ||
| They've got their acts together. | ||
| They're aiming up. | ||
| They have... | ||
| They bring their girlfriends. | ||
| They bring their wives. | ||
| They often bring their children. | ||
| They have positive stories to tell. | ||
| They're much more put together. | ||
| And I think, Dave, that probably corresponds with that movement that the New York Times even reported. | ||
| And you know that something like this has to be happening if even the New York Times will report it. | ||
| There's quite a marked influx of young men, in particular, back into traditional religious organizations. | ||
| And, you know, they're leaving the universities in droves, obviously. | ||
| It's about two to one women to men now in universities. | ||
| And the question is, where are they going? | ||
| And one answer to that seems to be back into the houses of worship, which is a very strange phenomenon, you know. | ||
| We don't want to underestimate the significance of this, and I think it'll be highlighted more. | ||
| The reasons for that are highlighted more, I think, in this new book that I'm releasing on November 19th, which is called We Who Wrestle With God, and I'm making a case there for the validity of the stories in the biblical library and their insistence on sacrifice as the basis of community, which I think is Technically, scientifically, and theologically accurate, rather than power. | ||
| We're in a revolutionary time, Dave. | ||
| That's why there's such a culture war going on. | ||
| There's all sorts of ways it could go. | ||
| It could go in the direction of hedonism. | ||
| It could go in the direction of power. | ||
| And it could go in the direction of nihilism. | ||
| The alternative is a revolution of tradition. | ||
| And I think that's partly what the Trump campaign has been tapping into, especially in the last month or so. | ||
| You know, because it's a very funny thing to see with regards to what's happening with Trump, because he's got these remarkable people around him, and they're entrepreneurial revolutionaries with a very traditional view of the world. | ||
| And I think that's a... | ||
| What would you say? | ||
| That seems to come, if we're... | ||
| Has that been the most surprising part of all of this? | ||
| Because you obviously don't come from a political background, yet you've become an astute political analyst. | ||
| But when I saw you a couple of weeks ago at the Rescue of the Republic rally, I'm watching you and Russell Brand on stage basically doing a wrap-off about sort of the existence of God at a political rally where you've got everyone there to support RFK wearing MAGA hats. | ||
| I mean, you couldn't have made that up. | ||
| Well, and with Brett Weinstein running the show, and he's an evolutionary biologist. | ||
| A lefty his entire life. | ||
| Yeah, a left-wing evolutionary biologist. | ||
| I know. | ||
| We definitely live, what do they say, in the most preposterous of all possible timelines. | ||
| But that's all an indication that there's something major shifting way down in the tectonic plates. | ||
| And it is a restructuring and reformulation of... | ||
| The fundamental story on which Western civilization and free societies themselves are predicated. | ||
| And I can see that popping up everywhere. | ||
| I mean, one of the things that I try to lay out in this new book, for example, is the revolutionary realization from many different disciplines that we necessarily see the world through a story. | ||
| I think that that's already established well enough so that it can be considered a scientific fact. | ||
| That's Being discovered by people in at least five different, separated disciplines. | ||
| Artificial intelligence, linguistics, literary criticism, psychology, neurophysiology, they all point in that direction. | ||
| And that's a lot of convergent evidence. | ||
| And so once you understand that, and it really is a revolutionary development, it invalidates the propositions of both the empiricists and the rationalists. | ||
| And I think to some degree that means the end of the Enlightenment. | ||
| I think that's what we're living through right now, is something like the end of the Enlightenment. | ||
| And that could be a catastrophic collapse into something like hedonism and power or nihilism. | ||
| But it doesn't have to be. | ||
| It could be A revolutionary restoration of the story on which the West and freedom itself is predicated. | ||
| And I think there's a non-zero probability that that's the interpretation that will win. | ||
| How would you connect that to Trump as a man? | ||
| Because to me, we are now on his hero's journey story. | ||
| I don't know if you saw it, but yesterday at his closing speech, he had Megyn Kelly on stage giving the best defense of him that I think I've ever heard. | ||
| And yet it's only nine years after the first debate where he was saying, you know, she bleeds out of her whatever. | ||
| And I thought, wow, what an incredible story here. | ||
| They were at opposite ends of everything. | ||
| So many of us were, and now they've been completely aligned on all of this. | ||
| And it seems that his story has now become our story. | ||
| Well, what do I make of that? | ||
| Well, you know, one of the things that's very strange about this election at a deeper level is that it's, you know, it's DEI Barbie against the old patriarch. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, you can see that playing itself out. | ||
| It's the marginalized against the center as well. | ||
| And Trump and Harris are emblematic of that. | ||
| And that is emblematic of itself of a massive division in the culture. | ||
| And Trump Trump is a pretty good representative, I would say, of the flawed patriarchy, right? | ||
| I mean, he's bombastic. | ||
| He's entrepreneurial. | ||
| He's bombastic. | ||
| He terrifies people with the possibility that what he's truly after is power. | ||
| And then set against him is this new, you know, the first black woman president, which is everything the DEI people could possibly hope for, who's the champion of the oppressed and the marginalized. | ||
| And so this isn't a normal left-right competition by any stretch of the imagination. | ||
| Is Trump the last hurrah of the traditional patriarchy? | ||
| That's certainly one way of looking at things. | ||
| I'm hoping he wins because I think Trump, especially given the people he's aggregated around him, I think Trump can do things. | ||
| And the problem with bringing the margin to the center is the margin isn't competent. | ||
| And so the problem with that for the margin is that If you center the marginalized, let's say the first thing you destroy is the margin, not the center. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So is that the weird situation that we're in right now? | ||
| That in essence, the left kept going to the margin and sort of pandering to the margin. | ||
| But then I guess the nice part of that was that the right then started moving more center to take everybody that saw the margin going too far. | ||
| Well, that seems to be basically what's happened. | ||
| I mean, well, that happened to you. | ||
| It happened to me. | ||
| It obviously happened to Trump and Musk and Gabbard. | ||
| And I mean, in a sane world, Vance would be a Democrat, not a Republican, like in the world of 40 years ago, right? | ||
| Because he's a guy who struggled up from the working class to take his place. | ||
| And it is definitely the case that Well, the left, it's certainly the rise of the progressive left that has made me into a conservative insofar as I'm a conservative. | ||
| It's like, look, guys, you've gone way too far, not only as far as I'm concerned from my position of privilege, but with regard to your own interests. | ||
| And I think you can see the fact that the majority of people, for example, who are transformed surgically for their gender, as a consequence of their gender confusion, The fact that a majority of them are gay, that's a perfect example of how the multiplication of the marginal destroys the margin first rather than the center. | ||
| A very dangerous thing. | ||
| Do you wish that more political analysts had taken a couple psychology classes along the way? | ||
| Do you think that might have cleaned up a lot of what we end up talking about all day? | ||
| Well, I'd like to think that, except the field of psychology itself and the way it's taught has also fallen completely prey to the woke mob. | ||
| I mean, in Canada now, it's increasingly difficult for university programs that train clinical psychologists to become accredited as educators in that realm unless they have a social justice orientation. | ||
| And I think we're in a situation where The realm of clinical practitioners probably does more harm than good now because it's been so invaded by the woke mob. | ||
| I mean, this is a real conundrum for conservatives, right? | ||
| Because conservatives are generally for institutional preservation, but the institutions are so bloody captured that it isn't obvious what to do with them. | ||
| I really can't see how the universities can be rescued. | ||
| Right, it's wild. | ||
| They're so leftist. | ||
| They're so dominated by their administration. | ||
| They're so financially corrupt. | ||
| And it's so total that I can't see a pathway forward that would rectify that. | ||
| Right, it's so backwards. | ||
| So now you have, in essence, the liberals, the lefties are defending the institutions. | ||
| They wanna keep them alive, whether it's the CDC or the NIH or Columbia or Harvard, and you have the conservatives now- Or the legacy media. | ||
| So that was where I wanted to end this with you, because I know you've got to get over to Ben and the rest of the guys. | ||
| But for years, you and I have been talking about this. | ||
| The tension that has existed between the legacy media, corporate press, mainstream media, whatever you wanna call it, and the online media. | ||
| And now with Elon jumping in and opening up X and the fact that this election to me is way more about the war on reality that we are all a part of more than say, are you a Republican or a Democrat? | ||
| How long do you think a society can hold when so many people Actually live in different worlds because we're all holding a phone that's giving us different information. | ||
| Well, I think that part of the reason there is a move back to more traditional forms of worship, let's say, among young men, is the counterposition to that. | ||
| You know, Dave, people tend to find their way. | ||
| I mean, one of the things that I think will happen, too, is that live events will become much more valuable, right? | ||
| Because they actually bring people together physically, plus you know they're real. | ||
| You know, we're going to adapt to this weird dynamic AI-fueled virtual reality. | ||
| I don't know how that's going to happen. | ||
| God only knows because things are changing so fast you can't even tell what's changing. | ||
| The AI landscape is shifting so rapidly and the robotics landscape as well that whatever you think the problem is at the moment is very unlikely to be the problem in a year. | ||
| You know, even with regards to teenage overuse of cell phones, you know, I mean, we've only had cell phones that we could overuse for about 10 years. | ||
| And I don't imagine it's certainly possible that we won't have them at all in 10 years, that they'll be replaced by something entirely different. | ||
| We have no idea. | ||
| And so, how do you adapt to a technological front that's transforming so rapidly that you don't even know what's changing? | ||
| I think you do that by returning to some degree to the eternal verities, because I don't know what else can possibly ground you. | ||
| Well, then I guess my final question to you would be connected to that, which is for all of the people tonight, regardless of what side they're on, if they're watching this show, I tend to know what side they're on, but regardless of what side you're on, if you're watching this thing tonight thinking, oh my God, the world is about to completely spin off its axis if I don't get the outcome that I want, What would be your ultimate message to them? | ||
|

|
In moments like this is... | |
| Alex Jones, not shy. | ||
| We've got Russell... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can we hang up on Russell for just a second so we can finish up with Jordan? | |
| This is live stuff. | ||
| Oh, I think we got... | ||
| Jordan, do you got me back? | ||
| Yep, got you back. | ||
| Yeah, were you able to hear the question there? | ||
| No, not quite, so you'll have to reformulate it. | ||
| In essence, for somebody... | ||
| Say hi to Russell for me, by the way. | ||
| We're going immediately from the Canadian to the Brit. | ||
| That's what we're doing on an American election show. | ||
| Wait, I think we're getting Russell again, sorry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bear with us for just one second, Jordan. | |
| Okay, so my question in essence was this, regardless of what side someone's on politically, and obviously most of the people watching this are on, let's say, one side of it, for everyone that's just feeling this unbelievable tension right now, that it really could be it in three hours, that they're gonna lose everything that they know, that society will never come back, and everything else. | ||
| I think you've sort of illustrated what you think is the out on that, but what would be the sort of most comforting thing you could say to someone if they don't get the outcome they want tonight? | ||
| Well, I would say you're morally required not to lose hope and despair. | ||
| Right? | ||
| It's a sign of courage to maintain faith in the future. | ||
| And it's a sign of faith to assume that if you are committed to Doing the right thing and pat and following the pathway of truth that things will work out for you as well as they can and I don't think you should underestimate the power of that I mean you put together for yourself a very rich private life for example and you have that as a Buttress let's say a fortress against the insanity of the outside world and you know that and so I would say you know if the macro world | ||
| Doesn't sort itself out according to your desires then you can retreat to some degree To the more private and micro world, and you can do everything you can to set that straight. | ||
| You know, if Trump isn't elected tonight, you still have a thriving business enterprise and a family. | ||
| You have people around you that love you. | ||
| You can focus your attention on that and continue to work on the political front. | ||
| And there's no reason to despair. | ||
| And four years into the future isn't that long a period of time as well. | ||
| So, you know, you're required morally to maintain faith in the future, regardless of the evidence at hand, let's say. | ||
| Jordan, I know you couldn't vote in this election because you're not an American, but can we clean that up for the next one? | ||
| Even though you're doing more than just pulling the lever, can we make you an American? | ||
| What are we doing here? | ||
| If I'm here as a Canadian, apparently, I just didn't. | ||
| Oh, right, exactly. | ||
| Yeah, you should have been doing this from California. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, right, right, right, right. | ||
| It was great to see you, my friend. | ||
| Thanks for joining us. | ||
| Good to see you too. | ||
| Yeah, it's nice to be down here with all you crazy Yankees. | ||
| All right, see you, JP. And we're gonna jump right into Russell Brand because he wanted on so badly that we were getting our audio crossed up. | ||
| Russell Brand, I think we have you. | ||
| We'll have him in, oh, now we're gonna have him in about 30 seconds, I think. | ||
| We're calling him right now on the Skype. | ||
| We'll see if we get Russell Brand. | ||
| I think maybe we've got him. | ||
| We're going to look at the map for just a second while we clean that up. | ||
| So now some things are starting to come through. | ||
| So it looks like we've got Donald Trump now with 95 electoral votes and Kamala Harris with 35. | ||
| But again, this is super, super early. | ||
| One of the things that's interesting, I'm getting this, this is breaking right now. | ||
| Trump won the Miami-Dade, that's where we are right now, the Miami-Dade County early vote vote. | ||
| By 11 points. | ||
| That is spectacular, and that is so indicative, guys, of what has happened when you have proper governance. | ||
| You know, and I had Governor DeSantis on yesterday. | ||
| It's like, if you have proper governance, he doesn't brag about it. | ||
| He basically is like, hey, I'm here to defend the laws of Florida. | ||
| I'm here to strengthen this state. | ||
| I'm here to govern properly. | ||
| And that's what I'm gonna do. | ||
| And that's why so many people are flocking to the free state of Florida. | ||
| And it's clearly showing up in the results tonight. | ||
| And speaking of the results tonight and the free state of Florida, I believe we have. | ||
| We are going from a Canadian professor to a British Renaissance man. | ||
| My friend, Russell Brand. | ||
| Russell Brand! | ||
| Russell, I've intro'd you. | ||
| I'm introing you. | ||
| You're Russell... | ||
| You're... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Russell... | |
| Russell, can you hear me? | ||
| Can you hear me? | ||
| Well, so far, so good. | ||
| I just talked to Jordan Peterson. | ||
| We did a little psychological analysis of the American electorate, and his main takeaway was that we're That we're gonna kind of be okay. | ||
| But here you are, I believe you're in Florida right now, in the free state of Florida, and you've become quite an astute political analyst here in America. and you've become quite an astute political analyst here in Annualer level. | ||
| In fact, before you came on, I was really offering real scrutiny and insight into this that I think would have really helped people understand. | ||
| Get off your phone, Dave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're still in picture. | |
| They're texting. | ||
| We're doing a major seven-hour program here live. | ||
| live. | ||
| They're texting me things while I'm talking to you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Great people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Talking to the crowd. | |
| I want to learn from you. | ||
| Like last time I was in your country for an election, Barack Obama won. | ||
| There was a lot of hope for change. | ||
| And I bet you were still a Democrat then. | ||
| I was a Democrat. | ||
| I voted for hope and change twice. | ||
| And I regret it. | ||
| I tweeted out this week that I regret it. | ||
| And I think Elon responded to me and said something to the effect of he's never been so disappointed with a human. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| I mean, that's... | ||
| That's pretty crazy. | ||
| Did you see the Chiron that we put under you? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Let's see if we can put it back up. | ||
| I want you to be able to see that. | ||
| Random, this is what the team put up. | ||
| I did not give them this information. | ||
| Random man who looks like Jesus. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You like that? - | |
| Well, Jordan's take, Jordan's take, | ||
| Jordan's take, unsurprising to you, was in essence that if you think that tonight, whatever, if we get the result that you don't want, so if Kamala wins tonight and you think that the world is over, well, as he said, first off, the next election's only in four years, but really what he said was, you still have autonomy over your life. | ||
| You have autonomy over your family and your job, and yeah, they can hit you on every which way and every side of the whole thing, but there are some things that you control. | ||
| I mean, in essence, it was clean your room before you clean the world. | ||
| But we've all engaged in so much hyperbole on both sides. | ||
| We all saw Elon Musk on Rogan saying, if Kamala wins, X is going to shut down, he's going to be foreclosed upon. | ||
| Did you hear the bit where he said, one of the bits that struck me was when he talked about the Stalin torturer-in-chief who said, show me the man and I'll show you the crime. | ||
| Yeah, and when Mike Pence, I know you've spoken to, said to me, when people say democracy now, they don't mean a process of representative electoral procedure. | ||
| What they mean is a set of institutions that they're in control of, whether that's the media or the judiciary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I've got to tell you, I'm I am pretty scared. | |
| I spoke to Dana White, not today, like another day, and he said, you know, get up on November 6th, there'll be a normal day. | ||
| It's like, you know, JP saying there. | ||
| But it's difficult. | ||
| Like, we've participated, haven't we, in escalating this sort of hyperbole in this sense of tension today without content. | ||
| I think about it all the time. | ||
| Look, I say some over-the-top things sometimes. | ||
| Sometimes the sarcasm can be a little angrier maybe than I want it to be or something like that. | ||
| In some ways, to me, we're fighting something that is so deeply dangerous that is the unbelievably never-ending, always-growing Marxist idea that is so historically evil that If I've engaged in a little hyperbole along the way, | ||
| which I undoubtedly have, I think sometimes it's kind of, it's sort of why when people are like, oh, I like Donald Trump, I don't like the way he talks, that I find that that, it kind of runs thin with me at this point, because it's like, you gotta fight however you can, something like that. | ||
| I never saw that before. | ||
| I thought that Marx was a genius. | ||
| I felt like egalitarianism, the principle of equality, was very important. | ||
| I felt the biggest threat that society in the world faced were powerful corporations and only the state, a state that responded to the will of the people, could oppose the titans of capitalism that were set to take over the globe. | ||
| Over time, I've come to realize that what the state has been trying to do since the advent of Mark, but probably from earlier than that, is replace, and this is Jordan Peterson territory, God in our lives to have absolute power. | ||
| Now, because of the advance of technology, there is the ability for omniscience through surveillance. | ||
| We're present through the devices that we all carry. | ||
| And the sort of control of our consciousness through this deep programming we're all encountering. | ||
| You'll have seen those memes, Dave, of like, you know, if you Google, where can I vote for Kamala, someone comes around to our house and drives to a voting booth in a limousine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And if you say, where can I vote for Trump, someone comes and kicks in the ass. | |
| It's just a squirrel. | ||
| It's gone out of control, man. | ||
| And what I'm starting to see is that social democracy leads to totalitarianism, unless it's minimalized. | ||
| I still think you've got to work out how to take on massive operations with nefarious goals, but I don't think it's by empowering the state because they're too lined up with it. | ||
| Are you hopeful tonight? | ||
| Where are you at in terms of just pure hope of that this thing will, whatever goes right means to you, that it goes right, and that we can get out of some of this? | ||
| I'm so easily... | ||
| The problem with me is I'm a pretty impressionable person. | ||
| So if I'm going for my ex-feed and I see you being optimistic and then see Tucker being optimistic, then I'll be like, oh, okay, yes. | ||
| Then if I watch something else and I see people that believe that Trump's a monster in the manner that you just described, saying, yeah, we've got this, and look, their rallies are crap. | ||
| I start to get concerned because I truly believe, I watched your videos where A brilliant video where you appealed to liberals that said, like, you know, just look at the facts now. | ||
| Look at the people that are aligned with Trump. | ||
| This is not Trump of 2016. | ||
| Look at what's happening with surveillance and censorship, the degree of control that's being asserted in the name of protection. | ||
| Look at the shallow vacuity of these cipher candidates that they're putting up before us. | ||
| I thought it was a brilliant video. | ||
| I thought we did a great job of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do I feel hopeful? | |
| I'm too easily in. | ||
| I'm too easily straight. | ||
| Like, I could open the course just two hours, and this is without drink or drugs. | ||
| There could be points where I'll be ecstatic, and there are points where I might cry. | ||
| Are you planning to drink, Dave? | ||
| Well, there is a little tequila here, and in the 30 seconds we have remaining, do you want to tell people what happened when you were at my house a couple weeks ago involving a glass of tequila? | ||
| Take us out on that. | ||
| Now, fool that I am, open-minded gentleman that I've become with Dave and his husband, David, and I was so excited to eat food. | ||
| I was really hungry, and in my mind, I was thinking, the food's coming. | ||
| I was preparing some steak, and I was like, oh, yes! | ||
| This is going to be so sick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can't wait. | |
| I can't wait for it. | ||
| And then, like, Dave put too much pepper on the top of the steak. | ||
| I put it in my mouth, and, like, someone was forking to me. | ||
| And, like, I had to continue the conversation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I swallowed this bit of steak, and it was in my throat. | |
| And I thought, oh, no, I better grab a drink. | ||
| And the drink I grabbed was probably Dave Rubin's own brand of tequila with a massive, like, slug of it. | ||
| and thought like, "It begins, it begins!" And I saw my wife at night monster, I'm like, "No, no! | ||
| "Strap him up, trap him up!" But luckily I have survived, I'm addicted to this now. - Topo Chico, it could be worse than that. | ||
| But yes, you took like two big gulps of tequila. | ||
| You've been in recovery for something like 23 years, something like that. | ||
| But you did some breathing exercises and here you are in Florida, flourishing, doing amazing. | ||
| And I have no doubt that I will see you in the next day or two, my friend. | ||
| I love you, Dave. | ||
| Thanks for coming on. | ||
| Good luck with the rest of your night, or blessings for the rest of your night, and I hope it goes the way you want. | ||
| Love you, brother. | ||
| Same to you. | ||
| All right, we have just a crazy, we have just a crazy, crazy lineup. | ||
| We're cutting people off, we're jamming people in. | ||
| We got Corolla, we got Brett Weinstein coming up. | ||
| Do we have anything updated on the map that I should get to while we're in all of this craziness right now? | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Why don't we, we'll go to the betting odds for just a second. | ||
| Call She's betting odds. | ||
| We'll just check that out real quick. | ||
| Look at me putting on glasses like a newsman. | ||
| What am I seeing there? | ||
| It looks like Trump, it looks, wow, it's, all right. | ||
| So it's moving up towards Trump. | ||
| So that is good so far. | ||
| So now it's at 64% chance. | ||
| These are just the betting odds that Call She's tracking. | ||
| 64% chance that Donald Trump will win. | ||
| So it did earlier in the night, as you can see, it got a little bit closer. | ||
| And now it seems like it's separating a little bit. | ||
| That's great to see. | ||
| And again, what you're seeing there is just these numbers out of Florida that are phenomenal. | ||
| And it's not, we all knew obviously Florida was going red. | ||
| The Democrat party has been decimated here. | ||
| They basically don't exist anymore. | ||
| We'll talk to Carolla in a second, who is in deep blue Cali, at least for now. | ||
| I think he's on his way out. | ||
| But let's see, what am I looking at here? | ||
| New York Times map. | ||
| Wait, the New York Times map, is that, what are you showing me there? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, I see. | ||
| The New York Times electoral map now has 95 electoral votes to Donald Trump and 35 to Kamala. | ||
| Again, this is all super early, so let's not get too lost in it. | ||
| Do we have Corolla? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| All right, we're gonna have Karola in just a minute. | ||
| Trump has officially won the free state of Florida. | ||
| I mean, how great is it that we live in this state, guys? | ||
| Like, we did it, we did it. | ||
| Adi over here, who's my chief of staff, she born and bred here in Florida. | ||
| The rest of us are refugees into this free state, and we're very appreciative of people like you. | ||
| Who made it so great. | ||
| So it looks like Donald Trump so far has won Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, and now Florida. | ||
| So none of those are surprises. | ||
| So as far as I can tell, everything is kind of going along as exactly as it was supposed to at this point. | ||
| Harris has won Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. | ||
| So yeah, this is really, so far this is going by like standard, like textbook stuff, red, blue, red, blue. | ||
| So that's where we're... | ||
| We're at at the moment. | ||
| I do have to tell you guys just real quick before we get rolling. | ||
| So Russell's at my house. | ||
| This is two weeks ago. | ||
| He, you know, recovery for 20 something years. | ||
| Try to imagine that. | ||
| And he takes the tequila and I saw like fire in his eyes. | ||
| Like the man has not had a, he doesn't even, he won't even have gum that has xylitol in it because I think there's alcohol sugar in it or something. | ||
| But I saw this like unbelievable fire in his eyes and he just very quickly had to compose himself and he walked away for a few minutes. | ||
| He did some breathing exercises, came back and continued working on the ribeye, which I do. | ||
| I put a lot of coarse pepper and coarse salt. | ||
| That's my thing. | ||
| That's part of the magic of what I'm doing. | ||
| We do have Adam Carolla. | ||
| We have comedian and podcasting legend Adam Carolla from California right now. | ||
| Adam Carolla. | ||
| I'm putting on my glasses because just like yesterday, you were wearing your glasses. | ||
| So we're very smart people. | ||
| You're in California, you crazy bastard. | ||
| How you feeling tonight? | ||
| Thanks for having me. | ||
| What's going on out there in California? | ||
| How you feeling about the state of the world? | ||
| Is Donald Trump gonna be president? | ||
| Are we all going to the gulag? | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. | ||
| And we have a great chyron under you. | ||
| I don't know if you see it. | ||
| Oh, can you hear me? | ||
| Yeah, we have a great, can you see the chyron that we put under you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mmm, Gavin Newsom's biggest opponent. | |
| Yeah, I've been working and driving and voting and got my hair cut. | ||
| I'm just running all over the place. | ||
| So I just kind of came up for air. | ||
| So I really don't even know what's going on right now. | ||
| So nothing crazy has happened yet. | ||
| I've just caught you up. | ||
| Nothing crazy has happened yet. | ||
| It's kind of breaking the way it's supposed to. | ||
| But I have a question for you because you are still in Cali. | ||
| I make fun of you of it. | ||
| I make fun of you for it all the time. | ||
| But Elon said the other day that if this thing does not go our way, that America would become Cali. | ||
| What would you say that would mean to the average American? | ||
| Well, you know, it would mean we would probably hit our saturation point in the next four years and then we would revert back to something that worked. | ||
| You know, California is ahead of the United States in terms of the dumpster fire S show. | ||
| Probably Canada's five years ahead of California is kind of the way I look at it. | ||
| So we know where this thing is heading. | ||
| The question is, do we stop it before we bottom out? | ||
| I've talked to people a few times about this. | ||
| Like, clearly, California is not going the right direction. | ||
| When is enough going to be enough? | ||
| And everyone always says, we haven't bottomed out yet. | ||
| And then I always say, but why do we have to bottom out? | ||
| I would say, I said to Tucker Carlson once, I said, if you walked into your son's room and you found syringes everywhere and methamphetamine and cocaine, would you get them help? | ||
| Or would you wait until you walked in and he was flatlining and you had to hit him with paddles? | ||
| To me, seeing the syringes and the cocaine and the heroin is enough for an intervention. | ||
| And yet, Callie doesn't go the intervention route. | ||
| And a guy like you, who is one of the most, you're one of the, I would say, the most functional, well, certainly comedians that I know. | ||
| I mean, you're a contractor as well. | ||
| You build things. | ||
| That's your background. | ||
| And yet you live in a place that doesn't seem to do these things right. | ||
| But do you think that if, let's say Trump wins tonight, do you think it does send a signal to California, like maybe clean up your shit a little bit and that things could maybe turn around because of an external force hitting Callie? | ||
| I do. | ||
| I mean, as we all know, politicians are spineless cowards who just lick their finger and put it in the air and try to figure out which way the wind is blowing. | ||
| I mean, we've all seen all the footage of Kamala Harris saying she was against fracking and she's going to shut down offshore drilling. | ||
| And ICE needed to be dismantled and prisoners needed to get sex changes. | ||
| She said it all. | ||
| And then she ran for president and she licked her finger and she put it in the air and she went, oh, no one's for all this crazy shit. | ||
| And she changed her mind on everything. | ||
| So she is a politician. | ||
| That's what politicians do. | ||
| And if this is a referendum on where we're heading, then... | ||
| Politicians will get the message that this country does not want more of this. | ||
| And is that the thing that you think maybe has brought more people to Trump than anything else? | ||
| That it's just like, we actually do believe that he says what he believes. | ||
| It's not that he doesn't lie about crowd size or exaggerate or sarcasm or off color jokes, but like, in essence, it's like, you see what you get, you get what you see, and that's good enough for most people. | ||
| Yeah, I think that's all most people want. | ||
| You know, if you really think about the problem Ellen got into several months ago, it's because she pretended to be nice and she was actually a mean person. | ||
| Marge Schott, the woman who owned the Cincinnati Reds, I believe it was, was mean her whole life. | ||
| And everyone knew she was mean. | ||
| And she acted mean. | ||
| And she didn't make bones about it. | ||
| And we kind of left her alone. | ||
| And George Steinbrenner owned the Yankees. | ||
| And he was a mean dude. | ||
| And everyone knew it. | ||
| And they did a bid on Seinfeld about it. | ||
| It was fine. | ||
| It was... | ||
| Bill Cosby pretending to be America's dad and turning out to be Bill Cosby, and it was Ellen trying to be the nicest woman in the Queen of Nice, who turned out to be the Queen of Mean. | ||
| That's what we don't like. | ||
| Even Lance Bass I'll talk about your tribe for a second here. | ||
| We were all going nuts with Lance Bass. | ||
| I was mad in NSYNC, contrary to popular belief, my friend. | ||
| We know he's gay. | ||
| We know he's gay, but he won't admit it. | ||
| The second he admitted it, we all went, okay, moving on. | ||
| Nobody was like, oh my God, Lance Bass is gay. | ||
| We just want to know. | ||
| Adam, we're getting some breaking news here. | ||
| Lance Bass news. | ||
| You might have just blown someone's mind with that news about Lance Bass. | ||
| But putting that aside for just a second, Ron DeSantis just tweeted this out. | ||
| This is great news for the people of Florida. | ||
| It doesn't affect you, but you might appreciate it. | ||
| Amendment three, which was gonna legalize recreational marijuana. | ||
| I'm not against personal marijuana, and I believe if you wanna just get the card, go get it. | ||
| Amendment three was gonna put it in that it was a constitutional right recreationally. | ||
| That failed, which I'm very happy to hear. | ||
| And Amendment four, which was basically gonna completely upend everything that Florida's done on abortion. | ||
| We do have the Harpy Bill, six weeks, it's a bit much for me, but they were gonna basically turn it into something that was gonna have no limitations, more like Cali. | ||
| That has failed as well. | ||
| So there are places where it kinda works. | ||
| Yeah, people like sanity, they like rule of law, they like order, they like education, they like good neighbors, they like clean streets, they like a small homeless population, they like a closed border. | ||
| If you're not a criminal, you should like the police. | ||
| I mean, that's kind of who we are and we strayed so far away from it and we let this sort of lunatics and especially all the transgender stuff and men competing in women's sport, All things COVID, we let a handful of nutjobs hijack our society and we sat by silently because we were scared to say anything because you would be ostracized. | ||
| If you even asked questions about COVID or transgender or where the virus emanated from, possibly not a wet market. | ||
| And I think the same people Really, it was the same people that got cudgeled into going along with insane ideas, and that's starting to wear off. | ||
| Adam, I have one more question for you, very important on this election night. | ||
| We discussed this on your show, but I'd like my audience to know about it too, because when I was in LA about two, three months ago, I took a bunch of people out to dinner and it was you and it was Dr. | ||
| Drew and Sage Steele and Dennis Prager and Larry Elder, Michael Shermer. | ||
| And you sat next to David Sachs from the All In Podcast, former COO of PayPal. | ||
| I think he's a billionaire, certainly has hundreds of mil. | ||
| He's done okay. | ||
| And I was paying for dinner. | ||
| Everyone's welcome to buy whatever, have whatever they want, fancy a steak, Wagyu, get the most expensive tequila. | ||
| Yet you turned to a billionaire, David Sachs, and you asked him if he would share a potato with you. | ||
| And I just want to know once again what you were thinking when you did that. | ||
| I said it to him. | ||
| He agreed he wanted a potato, but not a whole potato. | ||
| I suggested we split the potato. | ||
| That way we'd save Dave some money. | ||
| And we both have our potato and we wouldn't have to throw any in a landfill. | ||
| And he looked at me and he said, son, that's how I became a billionaire. | ||
| That kind of thinking is what made me a billionaire. | ||
| And then he laughed and he left. | ||
| He walked right out without saying goodbye. | ||
| And he's never talked to me since then. | ||
| I really do need to think about that. | ||
| Corolla, good luck in that crazy communist country that you live in. | ||
| Thanks, Dave. | ||
| Always great to see you. | ||
| All right, see you, man. | ||
| All right, we got Brett Weinstein coming up in a couple minutes. | ||
| I think we're gonna throw to the election map right now. | ||
| What do we have going on? | ||
| Are there any updates? | ||
| Has anything crazy happened yet? | ||
| So Trump, okay, so there was a little bit of movement, but again, still everything right now. | ||
| I mean, and you really, you know, it's so interesting as the night goes on and we get to look at these maps a little bit more, what you really do see is that for some reason, the liberals seem to live on coasts by water. | ||
| I guess they want an easy escape. | ||
| And generally, in the landlocked areas, you're gonna see more of the red stuff. | ||
| We're getting some Senate results that should be in in a little bit. | ||
| I'm gonna go out on a really crazy ride here and assume that Rick Scott won. | ||
| Oh, well, there I have it right there. | ||
| So Rick Scott here in Florida, which of course, again, just because the Democrat Party has been just demolished here Rick Scott won. | ||
| The Democrats did put a decent amount of money into getting rid of him. | ||
| We'll find out about Ted Cruz in a little bit. | ||
| Jim Justice has won in Virginia. | ||
| And Joe Manchin, he won, I assume. | ||
| Oh, Joe Manchin lost. | ||
| Oh, so Jim Justice beat, oh, okay, okay. | ||
| Sorry, I'm reading a lot of things at once. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Joe Manchin who retired, Jim Justice beat the Democrat. | |
| Joe Manchin who retired, Jim Justice was the Republican who beat the Democrat out of West Virginia. | ||
| So interesting things happening. | ||
| So that's plus one now on the Senate side for the Republicans tonight. | ||
| So that's good. | ||
| So look guys, so far, What are we? | ||
| We're about two and a half hours into the coverage right now. | ||
| I don't know how many shows you're flipping between and watching. | ||
| Hopefully you're just staying here with all of us, but between some of the guests we've had on, some of the zany stuff and the odd videos and the Nintendo and everything else, I think you're seeing, what I think you're also seeing beyond whatever happens electorally tonight is we are now officially seeing the rise of the new media, that you don't need to watch CNN and MSNBC with their plastic puckered people And their ridiculous, overly studied data to get actual true information. | ||
| I think listening to Jordan Peterson or Russell Brand or some of the other people that we're going to have on and have had on already is going to give you just more insight and pleasantness during an evening that can be pretty freaking stressful, though I happen to think at the moment it hasn't been too stressful because it seems to be working. | ||
| I think we're going to take a minute break. | ||
| What can we throw to for this minute? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fighting gaps. | |
| Oh, we're going to take a one-minute break so that I'm able to use the facilities, and we're going to make sure everybody in here is well-fed and doing okay. | ||
| How about some gaffes from the man that they kicked out of the office of the presidency, and then we'll be back in about a minute. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He wants to be the president of the United States again. | |
| When unions do better, everybody does better. | ||
| And we talk about how, for example, when I went with the ad things, ad things all the time, the very ad, it's not gonna happen. | ||
| No one's saying that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He believes he's up to the task. | |
| I'm not bad at what I do. | ||
| And that doesn't mean I never make a mistake, I do. | ||
| But I'm making those decisions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he wants the American people to vote for him. | |
| I think I'm the most qualified person to run for president. | ||
| I beat him once and I will beat him again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
As more eyes than ever before are on Joe Biden, he needed a blunder-free week. | |
| And well, that didn't exactly happen. | ||
| Let's look at Joe Biden's recent gaffes. | ||
| Sky News Digital Originals presents Biden's blunders. | ||
| By President Biden's standards, he's had a busy week, appearing at multiple events and taking part in a handful of media interviews. | ||
| The crown and glory of his week was hosting NATO, and things went... | ||
| Well, they went... | ||
| I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President, but I think she was not qualified to be President. | ||
| And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has... | ||
| Think how crazy it is that not only is that man still president right now, but they pretended in the first place that he could run and that, oddly, he actually would be better at this very moment than the woman that they installed or that she went around him to figure out how to make this all happen, etc., etc., however you want to analyze it. | ||
| Let's jump on with my old friend... | ||
| I'm gonna say former lefty, but I'll let him say that for himself if he wishes, Brett Weinstein, formerly of Evergreen College, now professor in exile, Dark Horse podcast, Rubin Report party attendee last week, and great hair on this guy. | ||
| Brett, how you doing? | ||
| Great to see you, Dave. | ||
| It is good to see you. | ||
| It is good to see you. | ||
| I feel like this whole election in many ways is a culmination of so many of the things that you and I have been talking about for a long time. | ||
| Me sort of first with the why I left the left and then you particularly in this last year about how to create an alliance that will fight against this evil machine. | ||
| And that's what you did with Rescue the Republic. | ||
| And I suspect you're feeling pretty decent tonight. | ||
| Well, I've got to say all my models have gone to noise and I am having trouble predicting anything. | ||
| Certainly feels like Trump is going to win handily tonight, at least by the Electoral College and maybe the popular vote. | ||
| On the other hand, I don't know what happens next. | ||
| I also can see that the deep state cannot afford to allow a liberated Trump to take office and go about pulling them up by the roots. | ||
| So, you know, I have no shortage of concerns about what's coming. | ||
| But yeah, tonight I feel like things are going in our direction. | ||
| It must be tough to be an evolutionary scientist because you're basically always looking around the corner. | ||
| I mean, is that sort of how you view all of this, that even in the moments where it feels like it's kind of working, you're already thinking about the next thing they will do? | ||
| I think it's completely warranted. | ||
| We discussed it last week with a whole bunch of interesting people. | ||
| But it's also like it's got to keep you just generally on edge in life, right? | ||
| Well, I mean, it has a couple of effects. | ||
| One of them is you do tend to be looking a little farther down the road and there are a lot of things that can go wrong. | ||
| On the other hand, it simplifies a lot because at some level this is all game theory and it's very easy to get overly tied up in the particular details of who said what, but that's not really what drives the system. | ||
| So the thing that everyone knows about you, I'm jumping all over the place just for brevity's sake because we have so much going on right now. | ||
| The thing that sort of put you on the map, of course, was what happened at Evergreen, which really was the most lefty sort of progressive school in the entire country. | ||
| Have your politics changed? | ||
| I would say your alliances very obviously have changed, but have your politics changed amidst all of this? | ||
| I mean, now clearly supporting at least the Trump movement. | ||
| I assume you voted for Trump, right? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| It's a hard question to answer. | ||
| You've got to break it down into a few different pieces. | ||
| My values are almost unchanged. | ||
| There are a few places where I've rethought some things, but in general I think the values that I held were the right ones. | ||
| And frankly, they're the values that has me aligned with many people who would call themselves on the right at this moment. | ||
| I have changed my position on a number of important issues. | ||
| But overall, I would say, you know, it's become a cliche, but... | ||
| The left-right distinction has lost its meaning. | ||
| My feeling was always that what made our system work was a tension between the noble impulse of good, honest liberals to make things better and the correct restraint imposed by conservatives who better honest liberals to make things better and the correct restraint imposed by conservatives who better appreciate So the system works when those two things are actually keeping each other honest. | ||
| And I still believe that we're not going to conserve our way out of our current crisis. | ||
| We are going to have to get to a place where we Do recover the values that we are currently destroying. | ||
| And then we're going to have to figure out how to carefully bootstrap a new way that addresses all of the novel hazards that we now face, which are things that the founding fathers couldn't have understood or anticipated. | ||
| And so it does fall to us to figure out how to responsibly manage the new reality. | ||
| So Brett, I want to back up for a second because Barack Obama just tweeted this and I think this is a perfect tweet to show you relative to the way you look at the world. | ||
| This is just in the last few minutes. | ||
| It took several days to count every ballot in 2020 and it's very likely we won't know the outcome tonight either. | ||
| So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today. | ||
| Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. | ||
| Respect them, thank them. | ||
| Don't share things before checking your sources. | ||
| Let the process run its course. | ||
| It takes time to count out every ballot. | ||
| Brett, I think it's very fair to say that if he was feeling confident about what's going on, there's no way in high hell he puts that tweet up. | ||
| Do you think that that's them foreshadowing that this thing isn't getting wrapped up tonight and they need some time to figure out how to do it? | ||
| I mean, again, from an evolutionary perspective, you don't give up power when you have it. | ||
| Yeah, my feeling is something has decided that it likes complicated elections. | ||
| It likes elections that are drawn out over long periods of time, court battles. | ||
| It likes bizarre constraints like a lack of a requirement for ID to cast a vote. | ||
| And the, you know, an honest team wouldn't need any of that. | ||
| An honest team just simply needs a system in which votes are unambiguous and are counted in the normal way. | ||
| And yes, very occasionally you run into a system where you're so, or a situation where you're so close that things have to be counted, you know, by hand because the margin doesn't allow you to extrapolate. | ||
| But that should be a rare circumstance. | ||
| That shouldn't be every election. | ||
| The Democrats have become the party that... | ||
| Wants to hold open every mechanism for cheating in an election and then dare us to point it out. | ||
| So I frankly resent President Obama stepping in as if he's the adult voice of reason in the room when, frankly, he said nothing about the fact that his party has nominated a candidate who literally can't function absent a teleprompter. | ||
| Who quite literally nobody voted for before all of this. | ||
| So what do you do when you see the machine, or whatever you wanna call it, when you see it recalibrating right in front of your eyes, what's the best tactic To me, that's a signal. | ||
| Obama just sent a signal out into the ether, which is, oh, we probably don't know the results tonight. | ||
| Again, he's probably only doing that because he thinks that his side may lose. | ||
| So what would be the best way to actually deal with that, actually incorporate that, see it for what it is, and then move forward with it? | ||
| Well, I think a lot of us have started to point out that For some reason, one of the parties loves the discretion that comes along with a drawn-out electoral process in which nothing is standardized. | ||
| And I think we just have to watch the process like a hawk. | ||
| It is absolutely a requirement of democracy that one party not have an advantage because it's simply more willing to cheat. | ||
| And I'm afraid as embarrassing as it is as a lifelong Democrat to say that the blue team does seem in love with power and willing to cheat, obviously cheat. | ||
| It certainly cheats before we get to the actual voting. | ||
| Is it willing to continue that process in I see no reason to doubt it. | ||
| It's harder to do, but I certainly wouldn't put it past them. | ||
| So as they carve out that room to cheat, we have to point out what it is courageously and not put up with it. | ||
| Brett, I don't know what your plans are for the rest of the evening, but perhaps we should get you back in a couple hours, because if we see some more shenanigans, I'd like to get your take on it. | ||
| But I've got to jump over to James Lindsay and Dr. | ||
| Phil. | ||
| So I thank you for your time, and I'll ping you in a bit. | ||
| We'll see how the night continues to unfold. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Good luck to you. | ||
| And to you and to everybody. | ||
| Why do we, thanks Brett. | ||
| All right, should we jump over to James Lindsay? | ||
| We have James on the line? | ||
| I think we'll have James on just, we'll have James on in just a second. | ||
| We're a little bit tight right now because at nine o'clock, so in about 10 minutes, in exactly 10 minutes, we're gonna do a cross stream for a half hour with Dr. | ||
| Phil. | ||
| So technically I will be on Dr. | ||
| Phil's show as the guest. | ||
| We're gonna keep that going on our stream. | ||
| And I think we do have James Lindsay, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
| James Lindsay is online. | ||
| Hello, James. | ||
| Hey, Dave. | ||
| Oh, I have to say, my friend, with your MAGA hat, I told you years ago this is what would happen to you, my good lefty friend. | ||
| We could end this interview right now, and I would be satisfied. | ||
| Could we just freeze frame it for the next eight minutes, and James Lindsay doesn't have to say anything? | ||
| But you're all in, man, and it's great to see. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, here we are. | |
| I Are we gonna be okay at the end of this? | ||
| I mean, you probably, I reference you on my show all the time. | ||
| You've been on the show a million times, but I reference you all the time because it seems to me that you have, I would say, probably the most, the widest breadth of knowledge as it relates to all of the tactics that we are fighting from the Marxists or the communists or whatever you may wanna call them right now. | ||
| Are you confident that this might be our full-on assault against them and it might be happening in real time right now? | ||
| It very well might be. | ||
| I'm kind of keeping an eye on the results so far, and it looks like even Virginia is tipping red at the moment, which even if it ends up going to Harris, nobody expected that. | ||
| Nobody expected Virginia to really be in play, but it looks like it's really in play. | ||
| Georgia is kind of, at the moment at least, it's not two in the morning in Fulton County yet, but it seems to be running away for Trump. | ||
| And it's actually very exciting. | ||
| This might be happening. | ||
| I still am not entirely positive the election is going to occur. | ||
| I haven't settled on that much As far as the outcome goes, will there be an election? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But I think we're getting close to there being an election and I think it's looking actually potentially good. | ||
| But yeah, I think in the long run we can be okay. | ||
| No matter what happens tonight, although it would be far better, obviously, if Donald Trump won, but we have to react correctly. | ||
| No matter who takes this tonight, no matter how many weeks before we know the results, we have to react correctly because, like you said, I know their tactics and their tactics are provocation and we're going to be provoked no matter what happens. | ||
| So unfortunately, we only have three minutes because I got a hard out with Dr. | ||
| Phil. | ||
| So what would that be? | ||
| So if we get the result we want tonight, if Donald Trump wins this thing tonight, what do you think the reaction would be? | ||
| And then what does our reaction to that need to be? | ||
| Let's play some of this out for the remaining time. | ||
| Let's start with us. | ||
| What we need to do is stay steady, stay firm. | ||
| Not to sound like Tucker Carlson at the moment, but we need to stay like a cool-headed, calm dad who's in control, more or less. | ||
| And we're not going to flip out. | ||
| We're not going to take rash action, but we're also going to hold the line. | ||
| Even if we win tonight, many things will occur. | ||
| We can expect the leftist hooligans to take to the streets at some point and go bananas to try to provoke people to go vigilante back on them. | ||
| We shouldn't do that. | ||
| We should hold the line. | ||
| We should bring law enforcement into it, and we should take care of it more responsibly. | ||
| We can expect... | ||
| We can expect a major media push. | ||
| We can expect a major move to destabilize Trump's presidency or even to refuse to certify him before his presidency. | ||
| And again, we have to hold very firm, very steady, and we have to be lawyered up, ready to fight this, not with a bunch of craking lawyers, not with a bunch of grifters, but with some serious attorneys who are ready to make sure that this goes through legally and cleanly and this doesn't turn into street violence. | ||
| That's the most important thing. | ||
| So if it doesn't go our way tonight, what should our reaction be? | ||
| We have to dedicate every ounce of effort we have in every single state, in every single local community, to putting up bastions of resistance against a federal government that we have every reason to believe will be every bit as bad as what we see in England right now and probably more desperate and more dangerous and worse. | ||
| And so we have to very tightly hold on to power at the states and to wield that power responsibly to fend off a globalist nightmare and a federal government that will be out of control. | ||
| James, my friend, as I just said to Brett, I'm sorry we had to do this so briefly. | ||
| Let's get you back on the show for a proper interview soon because, again, I think you have a way of analyzing this with deep knowledge of what we're up against. | ||
| And that's why I always appreciate what you're doing. | ||
| And I really appreciate the fact that as a lifelong lefty atheist, you have found common cause just like I have with a whole bunch of people that maybe years ago we wouldn't have. | ||
| And I think that that's what is so exciting about America right now. | ||
| So it's good to see you, my friend. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| You too. | ||
| All right, so we've got to join Dr. | ||
| Phil in about four minutes. | ||
| We're gonna throw to some news bloopers while we prepare a couple things in the studio for Dr. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Phil. | |
| We'll be on with him for about a half hour, and then we got a whole bunch more. | ||
| I mean, we're just getting going here. | ||
| Nothing crazy has happened yet. | ||
| So we're still at the beginning of what's gonna be a long night, but so far, so good. | ||
| Let's not get too overconfident. | ||

We're back here live at the Waterfront Village with my friend, the zombie, Jonathan. | |
| You're looking good. | ||

Jonathan just got an awesome face paint job. | |
| What do you think? | ||
| I like turtles. | ||
| All right. | ||
| You're a great zombie. | ||
| Good times here at the Waterfront Village. | ||
| What did you think about the ride? | ||
| It was great. | ||
| Apparently, I've never been on live television before, but Apparently sometimes I don't watch the news because I'm a kid and apparently every time grandpa just gives me a remote after we watch the Powerball. | ||
| Tell me about the ride. | ||
| What did you think about the ride? | ||
| Well, it was great! | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because apparently you're spinning around, and apparently every time you get dizzy, because all you do is get dizzy. | ||
| Is it fun? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I've never, ever been on live television. | ||
| I've never, ever been on live television. | ||
| Are you excited? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, and apparently I already went down the super slide. | |
| When I went down alone, I was scared half to death. | ||
| I just freak out. | ||
| Harry's screaming. | ||
| I meet my McDonald's. | ||
| I come outside. | ||
| I see this girl going nuts, trying to get out of her house. | ||
| So I go on the porch. | ||
| I go on the porch, and she says, help me get out. | ||
| I've been in here a long time. | ||
| And like I say, my neighbor, you got some big testicles to pull this off, bro, because we see this dude every day. | ||
| I mean, every day. | ||
| How long have you lived here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've been here a year. | |
| You see what I'm coming from? | ||
| I barbecue with this dude. | ||
| We eat ribs and whatnot and listen to salsa music. | ||
| You see what I'm coming from? | ||
| And you had no indication that there was anything going on? | ||
|
unidentified

Not an egg, bro. | |
| Not a clue. | ||
| What was the reaction on the girls' faces? | ||
| I can't imagine to see the sunlight, to be around people. | ||

Bro, I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms. | |
| Something is wrong here. | ||

| Dead giveaway. | ||
| Charles, thank you very much. | ||

| Thank you very much for your time. | ||

Either she's homeless or she's got problems. | |
| That's the only reason why she ran into a black man. | ||
| Charles, thank you for being there. | ||

Man, them jokers was big, size of a quarter doggone. | |
| Many said it sounded like nothing they've ever heard before. | ||
| He said, kapooyah, kapooyah! | ||
| And your boy, that hell just came in. | ||
| I looked at my, opened my door, and I looked at my door and started hitting me in my head. | ||
| I took out, run, and ran to my restroom, and then I called my mama to see what she's all right. | ||
| Folks were told to stay off roadways unless absolutely, positively necessary. | ||
| But they still came out to places like the Circle K gas station. | ||
| I want a donut. | ||
| I didn't make anybody stay here until 7 a.m. | ||
| or 11 or whenever it is everybody finally left. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I didn't make this kid pass out on my floor. | |
| People wanted to be here. | ||
| That was their decision. | ||
| Oh, brah, it's just like, dude, you get the best barrels ever, dude. | ||
| Just like, you pull in, and you just get spit right out of them, and you just drop in, and just smack the lip, whoopah, drop down, snap, bah, and then after that, you just drop in, you just ride the barrel, and get pitted, so pitted, like that. | ||
| Surveillance tape is catching a routine morning at this gas station on Bannister until chaos erupts. | ||
| I was putting one more tap of coffee in my coffee cup and out of the corner of my eyes I saw two guys come in, one with a black hoodie and one with a white hoodie. | ||
| And the guy with the black hoodie said, we want your money, everybody up front and down. | ||
| And I'm like, oh! | ||
| Oh, why do I need coffee now? | ||
| The guy in the black starts coming down, and I'm like, don't look, don't look, don't look. | ||
| So I'm putting my hair down, you know? | ||
| And he comes right to me, and he goes, get down now! | ||
| And I go, yes, sir! | ||
| And I just drop to my knees. | ||
| Then I hear, boom, boom, boom! | ||
| And I'm like, oh, my God. | ||
| So I back farther and farther away, and I think, maybe I should faint, but I don't. | ||
| And so then I'm thinking, count to 2,000 again. | ||
| So I did, and then I go, me amigos, me amigos. | ||
| Nobody said nothing. | ||
| I'm like, oh, my God, they're dead. | ||
| Can I ask you, if you won all the money, what would you do with it? | ||
| Bunch of hookers and cocaine. | ||
| Oh, okay, that's not good. | ||
| We were hoping for a different answer. | ||
| That's probably not the answer that we're looking for. | ||
| I just kept hearing it. | ||
| I'm ducking and everything. | ||
| In the house, I got scared. | ||
| I dropped my hot pocket. | ||
| Did you really snatch an 86-year-old woman's purse? | ||
| She wants to hurt me. | ||
| And the b**** don't even know me. | ||
| At 86 years old, Bernice Starnes is full of spunk. | ||
| She's traveled the world, seen a lot, but never anything like this. | ||
| I hope that they beat her a**. | ||
| Some of the women in prison beat her a** every day for as long as she's in there. | ||
| Some people might say that's hard. | ||
| Today, Flossie's family is going to be coming out here to throw you a big birthday party. | ||
| Are you excited for your party? | ||
| Not one bit. | ||
| Dave Rowe knows all too well how it feels to have his home broken into. | ||
| Yeah, and see, that's what the problem was. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because I heard him first. | |
| I said, hold on. | ||
| I said, hold up. | ||
| Wait a minute. | ||
| Something ain't right. | ||
| Because then I start to taste him. | ||
| I said, And then I start to smell them. | ||
| So it's like a smell, it tastes like... | ||
| So I knew something was wrong. | ||
| I knew something special about it. | ||

You know? | |

Back to you guys. | |

| Geez, you tell me. | ||
| Gotta pay attention. | ||
| Get off your cell phones. | ||
| Pay attention. | ||
| All right, Dennis, thank you very much for joining us. | ||
| It's a pretty tough way to walk a dog, isn't it? | ||
| Oh yeah, for sure. | ||
| Very inconvenient for anybody. | ||
| It's gotta be dumb though, right? | ||
| Yeah, it does. | ||
| I don't want to pee all over the house. | ||
| I got to clean it up. | ||
| You have something to say. | ||
| I can see you're chomping at the bit there, young man. | ||

I was wondering, I didn't really see you on TV that much. | |

Nope. | |

Yeah, Lester Holt. | |

Pardon me. | |

| My apologies. | ||
| North Korea, South Korea's policy choices on North Korea have been severely limited. | ||

| something he's avoided over the years. | ||
| The week kicked off with a sit down on ABC is first following the disastrous debate. | ||
| - We have, I mean, I guess, anyway. | ||
| I don't want to take much credit, I insist that. - Their concerns about your age and your health are growing, so that's why I'm asking to reassure them. | ||
| Would you be willing to do the same stuff which is Does this thing get delayed? | ||
| Are we going to go late into the night and then suddenly into tomorrow and into next week and everything else? | ||
| But I will also say that I'm really enthused about where I sense people are watching the news right now. | ||
| They are tuning out of corporate press in droves. | ||
| They're watching you. | ||
| They're watching me. | ||
| They're watching plenty of other people online. | ||
| And it's not to say we're all perfect at all of this and there's a learning curve with some of it. | ||
| But I think part of what has been so wrong with everything in America over the last couple of years Is that the news media has gone so completely out of control. | ||
| And I think we're seeing a little bit of a course correction tonight. | ||
| Well, I certainly hope so. | ||
| And I can say this to all my viewers. | ||
| If I wasn't here doing this right now, I'd be watching you on the Rubin Report. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| I highly recommend it. | ||
| You'd be on my show. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Which I was. | ||
| Was it yesterday? | ||
| Yeah, that was yesterday. | ||
| Yeah, it was just yesterday. | ||
| And we had a great conversation. | ||
| Any surprises you've seen tonight? | ||
| Nothing has shocked me too much. | ||
| I mean, one thing, you know, Dr. | ||
| Fell, I'm here in the free state of Florida. | ||
| I fled from California during COVID, and I moved two businesses and multiple employees. | ||
| I brought about 20 people here. | ||
| And I'm not shocked that Florida went red, obviously, but Miami-Dade, where I am, which really was the blue center of what has become a very red state, has now become redder than red. | ||
| I mean, there, in effect, is no Democrat party here anymore. | ||
| And that's not to say that that's the healthiest thing for a system. | ||
| I mean, I think the healthiest thing for a system is that you have two somewhat moderate parties that disagree mostly on the size of government, and then there's a healthy tension between them. | ||
| What we have in Florida is we've now decimated the Democrat Party because of good governance, largely because of Ron DeSantis during COVID and then subsequently everything that's happened. | ||
| And then because of the migration into the state where we've taken in About a million people in three years, which is an extraordinary number. | ||
| People are not doing what they used to do, which is, you know, these people would flee California and then vote for the wrong things in, say, Colorado or Montana. | ||
| Here people are coming from, you know, they're coming from Cali, they're coming from New York, and they're voting the right way. | ||
| And that's why we have a thriving economy in Florida. | ||
| We're building homes at unbelievable rates. | ||
| Our infrastructure projects are fast and efficient. | ||
| And so that's not surprising to me, but to see something that consistently works, consistently work, it's always nice to see, if not surprising. | ||
| Well, it certainly is. | ||
| And regardless of who wins, what do you think will be the most pressing issues facing America immediately after the election once the results come in? | ||
| What do you think are the most pressing issues that Americans are going to have to deal with? | ||
| Well, I would say the immediate pressing issue is that we're going to, regardless of who wins, I obviously want Donald Trump to win, but regardless of who wins, and I really do hope we get the result tonight one way or another because I don't think it's good for the country or any of our psychological or spiritual health if it goes anything beyond tonight. | ||
| But I think the first thing is that we're going to have to, I'm not a big fan of just saying, you know, these platitudes like, oh, we need unity. | ||
| I don't think you necessarily need unity with everyone, but we do sort of need Most of us to believe in the system and that the rules work and they're equally applicable and everything else. | ||
| So I would hope that virtually everybody will believe that the results were legit and then we can kind of go on from there. | ||
| I would say, putting that aside, putting the immediacy of the election aside, The most important thing at the moment is we have to return to meritocracy in this country. | ||
| I think that that is what Trump sort of caught on to almost by mistake in a weird way. | ||
| We have to just get back to a place where your race and skin color and your gender and your sex and all of the immutable stuff that none of us really want to be judged on, that stuff should not matter. | ||
| And unfortunately, the Democrats went deep with identity politics. | ||
| It took over many of our institutions. | ||
| It has completely wholly infected the Democrat Party. | ||
| And until we get over that, until we decide, hey, you will get a job because you're the most qualified. | ||
| You will get this opportunity because you work the hardest and not because of some other nonsensical attribute. | ||
| Until we get over that, nothing will work. | ||
| We will build worse things across the board. | ||
| Whether it's literally building worse airplanes or a worse military, or it's that our doctors will be less qualified, and quite literally our janitors will be less qualified, and that's not good for anybody. | ||
| Well, you know, I couldn't have said it better myself, and as you know, that's why we named Merit Street Media Merit, because it's all about Hard work, added value, and talent. | ||
| And I think that's what we have to focus on. | ||
| And I really hope that's what people vote for when they make the votes that they do. | ||
| And you said it really well. | ||
| And listen, I look forward to talking to you again soon. | ||
| I hope we have a new president. | ||
| Tonight, as you do, and things go the way of supporting the kind of meritocracy that made this country what it is today. | ||
| So maybe we can talk and celebrate that very soon. | ||
| So I thank you for coming on, and I'm going to tell you that we're getting ready to call Texas right now, where I'm sitting right now in Dallas-Fort Worth. | ||
| So you can add this one to your list as we part right here because we're getting ready to let Lindsay call Texas. | ||

| You know, we're doing a lot of technical things at once that we're figuring out on the fly. | ||
| I want to give a special shout out to Connor, my director, who's actually my longest employee with me at the moment, who is now, he actually has 18 hands, and he was just pulling wires and switching things and all sorts of stuff. | ||
| As you know, when Connor does a good job, we give him a little extra guacamole. | ||
| And Connor? | ||
| Guacamole for the year, my friend. | ||
| All right, so hopefully you guys caught me on Dr. | ||
| Phil over there. | ||
| We're gonna have a couple other people coming up in just a few minutes. | ||
| Right now, what I'm seeing, what I can see, or we're gonna break some numbers now. | ||
| So here's the map at the moment. | ||
| So Donald Trump's got 195 electoral votes. | ||
| Kamala Harris at 113. | ||
| So right now, the map is basically looking like What people thought it was going to look like just in the last little bit. | ||
| Texas went to Trump, which we expected. | ||
| Ted Cruz is up 52 to 46 with 57% of the vote. | ||
| And so it looks like Ted Cruz will remain the senator from Texas, which obviously would be great. | ||
| He's a constitutional lawyer and expert and really... | ||
| He's one of the good ones. | ||
| I know him personally and professionally at this point, and he really is one of the good ones. | ||
| We're gonna grab some coverage of some of the other news networks as well. | ||
| Phoenix, we can have Brock grab something that I just tweeted from CBS News about Pennsylvania, that basically CBS News is reporting that Pennsylvania will probably not have their results in tonight. | ||
| And then the reporter said, oh, but that doesn't mean anything nefarious is happening. | ||
| And that's sort of where they bake in this weird thing that, oh, if it doesn't go our way, I guess we'll have to do something to slow it all down. | ||
| But we'll also tell you that nothing bad is happening our way or that nothing bad is happening out there. | ||
| And that's not good. | ||
| There are some reports that North Carolina is looking quite good for Trump. | ||
| So that would be the first sort of swing state situation of the night that went in a little bit of a different direction. | ||
| So we'll see. | ||
| Do we want to show this Fox video right now? | ||
| Yeah, so let's jump over to, this is Fox reporting that Kamala apparently is doing really poorly with black voters in Georgia. | ||
| Everyone loves to racialize everybody. | ||
| Well, here you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
First up, timing of your vote. | |
| We know so many went out for early voting. | ||
| Let's see how those votes are breaking down in Georgia. | ||
| Those who cast their vote early, look at this. | ||
| They did not prefer a candidate if they early voted. | ||
| It is split 49 for Harris, 49 for Trump. | ||
| All right, let's look at some of these other key data points. | ||
| We know race was huge. | ||
| The black vote was huge for Biden when he won by just a bit in Georgia there in 2020. | ||
| So let's look at how they are turning out in this election. | ||
| All right, this is the first time we can break this down. | ||
| Among black voters and their support for Kamala Harris, While strong, she is below where Biden was in 2020, four years ago. | ||
| This number for Biden was more like 91. | ||
| So she's running about eight points behind where Biden was with the black vote in Georgia in 2020. | ||
| All right, I have another data point where I'm going to combine this with gender, okay? | ||
| So now you look at the black male voter in Georgia. | ||
| We know both candidates have spent a lot of time courting them there. | ||
| Democrats have been trying to convince them that they could be better for the economy. | ||
| Trump has been trying to woo those voters. | ||
| Remember, inflation is more than 20% in that state. | ||
| With black men, Harris is at 73%, Trump at 25%. | ||
| Let me give you perspective and context on that. | ||
| Joe Biden in 2020 had this number at about 87%, okay? | ||
| So right now, she's... | ||
| All right, so we're going to cut that a bit short. | ||
| You guys know I don't like getting caught up in the hyper-racialization and gender thing and then focusing on the numbers. | ||
| The key part that I wanted to show you there, though, is that black men, at least in Georgia, do seem to be breaking towards Trump in different numbers. | ||
| He's still losing significantly, right? | ||
| So Kamala's still got 70-some-odd, 80-some-odd. | ||
| But if he jumps by about 10% from, you know, four to 14 or seven to 17, something like that, that can be significant. | ||
| So again, this goes to where everybody, I wish, and hopefully maybe one day we'll be able to analyze Let's jump over to MSNBC because there's something interesting happening right now, which seems to be happening nationwide, which is that the Latino boat is definitely going more than usual towards Republicans. | ||
| And that doesn't play well for the MSNBC crowd because they think that, you know, the Republicans are supposed to be white supremacists. | ||
| And as Carol Markowitz said earlier, the Latinos have basically been reduced to white adjacent the more that they break towards Republicans. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maria Theresa, we have some broad national exit polling about Harris' strength among Latino men, and they seem to be breaking for Donald Trump, which is a very big difference from 2020 when they broke for Joe Biden by, I believe, 23 points. | |
| They may be breaking for Trump by as many as 10 points. | ||
| Again, this is early, early, early. | ||
| Alright, so there's something interesting there. | ||
| Alright, I'll stop saying it because I could say it 500 more times throughout the night. | ||
| But this idea that Latino men brought this way, it's such a bad way of looking at everything. | ||
| We're all Americans first. | ||
| It would be so much healthier if they would look at it and be like... | ||
| People that care about the economy, people that care about foreign policy, people that whatever, like instead of just keeping us all at odds with each other seemingly because of our sex or our skin color, it's just not healthy for a melting pot society that we are. | ||
| Maybe it could work for some other sectarian country somewhere else or would have worked 200 years ago, but I don't think it's particularly healthy. | ||
| Right now. | ||
| But in any event, you're gonna see some wild stuff. | ||
| If the Latino numbers do bear out the way that they're looking and that it keeps going towards the Republicans, they don't have to get more voters than the Democrats, but that the numbers just shift a little bit in the Republicans' favor than what usually would happen, you are gonna see all sorts of bananas stuff come out of the left about Latino men who have now abandoned their wives and they have abandoned black people and everything else. | ||
| And it's really just... | ||
| Boy, you know, an awful lot of, and I know many of them here in Florida, an awful lot of Latino people came to America legally. | ||
| And that means when you came here legally, you don't necessarily want people to come here illegally and get all sorts of benefits. | ||
| You want people to wait in line just like you waited in line. | ||
| And that seems to be one of the disconnects with the left, that it's like, oh, you're Latino. | ||
| That means somehow you should just be pro-immigrant. | ||
| And if you're pro-immigrant, you should be pro-illegal immigrant. | ||
| And that just doesn't kind of work. | ||
| Tom Bilyeu from Impact Theory will be on with us in about five minutes. | ||
| Let's jump over to Larry Kudlow. | ||
| I was on his show on Fox News, Fox Business, actually, about a week ago. | ||
| And he right now, right, we have the Kudlow, and he is feeling good about Donald Trump's positioning at the moment. | ||
| All right, now, you know, I'd like to be in Trump's shoes right now, but I don't think it's conclusive. | ||
| We need more numbers, need more data, some good news, but I just don't think there are enough numbers. | ||
| You know, I agree with I agree with the assessment that Maria made on the policy front, but be honest with you. | ||
| Here, number one, I don't think the stock market yet knows who's going to win or what the policies are going to be. | ||
| It's watching like a hawk, but I don't think it knows yet. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| We've got to see what happens tonight. | ||
| Number two, Trump has this working-class coalition. | ||
| It's a different Republican Party. | ||
| You know, it started with him in 2015, 2016. | ||
| It's ebbed and flowed. | ||
| I think it's closed in high tide. | ||
| The question is, with that kind of coalition, working folks, whites, blacks, Hispanics, young people, others, will it work? | ||
| Will it hold? | ||
| Was there enough of an expansion in Mr. | ||
| Trump's base to put him over and win? | ||
| All right, so for those of you that aren't big on the financial shows, I mean, Kudlow's running a major, major financial show, in essence saying things are looking good for Trump, but I think he's right. | ||
| We can't get overconfident at the moment. | ||
| I am definitely concerned from what I'm hearing about Pennsylvania that somehow, you know, Obama, what was it, 45 minutes ago that I had Brett Weinstein on, and Obama put out that tweet basically saying we're not going to get the results from... | ||
| Pennsylvania tonight, and then CBS News, we'll try to get you the video in just a moment, but it's basically what I just referenced, that they basically were like, we're not gonna have results tonight, but that doesn't mean anything nefarious is happening. | ||
| It's like, if we don't have Pennsylvania tonight, We're good to go. | ||
| Well, here we go. | ||
| We saw what was happening earlier in the night. | ||
| For a moment, it started to get closer, and now things are starting to separate again. | ||
| It's got 75%. | ||
| Again, this is the betting market. | ||
| This is obviously not scientific. | ||
| This is just the people who are throwing money on this. | ||
| But 75% of them right now, there's a 75% chance that Donald Trump will be president, according to the bettors, and 25% That Kamala will be. | ||
| When we started the stream at six o'clock, which is now three and a half hours ago, the market was at 55% to Trump. | ||
| It's at 75% right now. | ||
| So things seem to be moving a certain way. | ||
| I think we've got Tom Bilyeu from Impact Theory and crazy Los Angeles, California on the line. | ||
| How are you, my friend? | ||
| I'm good, brother. | ||
| How you doing? | ||
| I'm pretty good, man. | ||
| I mean, we're three and a half hours into this thing. | ||
| No major surprises at the moment, but nothing's gone particularly haywire. | ||
| So I can't complain, right? | ||
| Like we seem like it's all kind of working and hopefully everything kind of gets wrapped up tonight. | ||
| Well, I guess that's a good place to start. | ||
| Are you confident that we'll have a result tonight? | ||
| Because to me, putting aside, obviously everyone knows who I want to win, but I do think it's important to have election day and not election three days, election week, election three months. | ||
| Yeah, no, I'm not at all confident that we will have an answer tonight. | ||
| What do we do with that? | ||
| That seems problematic, as the kids say. | ||
| Yeah, I think, honestly, you're going to have to have some pretty extreme election reforms if we want to build back confidence. | ||
| The only thing I'm hoping for is that it is just a very convincing victory. | ||
| If we have a very convincing victory, then we have a little bit of time to figure this out. | ||
| But I think people have to take seriously what the last two, for sure, maybe three elections have been, what they felt like as the people That there's so much margin for distrust, and I think there are very simple things that can be done to eliminate that, not the least of which would be requiring ID. But yeah, I think we have to make some pretty simple but very direct changes, otherwise people are not going to have it. | ||
| So we've been on each other's shows multiple times in the last year or so, and we constantly are talking about Los Angeles and Florida and all the red-blue stuff, everyone gets that. | ||
| So let's put that aside for a moment, but specifically talk about it on the election front. | ||
| So you live in a place, Los Angeles, California, that does not require ID, that you can literally just walk in. | ||
| It's what I did last time I voted there, which was the recall election, and just said my name and my address. | ||
| I could have been my neighbor. | ||
| I knew his name and his address, and they would not have asked me for any sort of ID. It seems to me that the question of fraud is baked into the system there. | ||
| That seems like a problem. | ||
| Yeah, so this is where, okay, look, tinfoil hats abound. | ||
| You have to be careful not to take things too far, but there is certainly a line of logic that you can follow that says, look, this is really about lowering wages and we want to let a lot of people into the country and it's going to help us suppress The wages and costs, and that's great for everybody. | ||
| And then there is a straight line that you can follow that says, well, not only do we get that advantage, but we also get the advantage of being able to fly people into states that are swing states and If you go with the propensity of somebody who got in on the good graces of the government and is promised a lot of stuff, and they must continue to vote Democrat in order to get those things in the future, it isn't a crazy stretch to believe that they would disproportionately vote Democratic. | ||
| And you can do... | ||
| And I mean, look, a lot of people blame Reagan for the fact that California... | ||
| So Reagan, a Republican, gets the blame for California becoming a pure blue state because of the amnesty program that he did back during his term. | ||
| And so if that kind of thing really does have that knock-on effect of an immigrant is more likely to vote Democrat, it's certainly possible that by shipping people specifically into these swing states that you create a problem. | ||
| Now, I don't know that I want to go that far. | ||
| I would certainly much rather believe that this is purely economic. | ||
| But no matter how you look at it, I hope that that is a referendum that people are really Turning this election into regarding the way that the border has been handled, but not requiring ID is crazy. | ||
| There's literally no argument. | ||
| You require it for everything else. | ||
| And if you can say with a straight face that democracy is on the line and therefore it's so important you don't need an ID, then it's like, well, there are other things. | ||
| I'm driving my wife to the hospital. | ||
| Do I need an ID to drive in the car? | ||
| The joke being, if you get pulled over on the way to the polls without your ID, just say, you know, I'm on my way to vote. | ||
| So it's sort of absurd on its face. | ||
| I have been to quite literally mini golf places that to rent the golf club, they wanted your ID so that you don't run away with the golf club. | ||
| I think that's a little less important than democracy. | ||
| How confident are you? | ||
| Also, really fast, Dave, because I know you've got another question, but here... | ||
| The question people should be asking is, how do we make it easy to get an ID? If that's your beef, fair enough. | ||
| Solve the system. | ||
| And the fact that nobody approaches the systems, this is one of the things that's exciting about Elon. | ||
| He's just so good at systems. | ||
| Well, it's interesting. | ||
| You may have heard this, but Nikki Haley, when she was governor of South Carolina, everyone kept saying, oh, people don't have IDs, people don't have IDs. | ||
| So she allocated several million dollars to make sure that everyone could get IDs. | ||
| And I think what she told me was 16 people used the program. | ||
| And therein lies the rub I suppose. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it certainly, it points out a flaw in the underlying logic. | ||
| So in business, we talk a lot about base assumptions. | ||
| So, hey, you have a base assumption that people don't have easy access to the ID and therefore very good, qualified people that should be voting are not going to be able to vote because they can't get the ID. Cool, run a test and see if that's actually true. | ||
| And something like that, you know, I mean, how far you can extrapolate, it's another question, but that would certainly peck at the veracity of that claim. | ||
| I talked a bit about this with Jordan Peterson about an hour ago, but what I also see happening here right now is we're seeing, regardless of the outcome of tonight, that clearly there is now a shift in where people are getting their news. | ||
| We all know this, of course, Joe Rogan is in effect bigger than CNN at this point. | ||
| But whatever podcasts or streams people are listening and watching, that there's a certain set of people that are still willing to pay attention to what the system is offering. | ||
| And then there's a whole other group, I would say a much bigger group at this point, that wants the other thing, the thing that we're doing, right, that we're part of. | ||
| Do you think those two things can ever be connected in a way that will be healthy for the country? | ||
| I think it's inevitable that they're going to ultimately diffuse into each other because they're When you raise a generation on a thing, that just becomes the known thing, the norm for them. | ||
| They're not even going to think about it. | ||
| So even if this is just a question of time, there's no doubt that over time people will get more and more of their information via social media, via the internet, and more traditional means of watching it on the news. | ||
| It will die off as their constituents die off. | ||
| I got one more for you. | ||
| You've done some stuff yourself with health and helping people lose weight and making some Quest bars and cookies and all kinds of stuff in your day. | ||
| I suppose you're pretty happy about the idea of, say, an RFK being involved with somebody like Trump, where we could actually start addressing some of our problems that are outside of politics, some might argue more important than politics? | ||
| This is why I think what Trump has done here is really incredible, is he's created a deck of people that you can choose from. | ||
| So if you're like, oh God, I cannot vote for Trump, but I can see what he's doing with RFK and RFK is my guy. | ||
| RFK was certainly where I was headed before he got elected. | ||
| Lawfare out of existence and Seeing him put together this gallery of people from Elon to RFK to Tulsi Vivek It's it's really pretty impressive and it gives if if he is sincere and he holds it through and he actually listens to these people and engages them in a meaningful way and it isn't just a get elected stunt and I think it's really incredible because yes, when you start talking about making America healthy again, you're on to something that actually matters. | ||
| If you could make America balance a budget again, then you'd really have me. | ||
| But getting people in that are looking at these broader social trends that are so impactful to our health, to our safety as a country, very powerful. | ||
| So to bring us back to where we started, are we getting a result tonight? | ||
| Do we end this show tonight with a result? | ||
| Can you really see that? | ||
| I can't. | ||
| I think that there is, one, enough incentive to want to slow roll this, that they're going to do that, that there's such an obvious path to doing it. | ||
| The over-under on that I will take. | ||
| I don't think there's any shot that we get results tonight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I really hope you're wrong. | ||
| I suspect you might be right. | ||
| I mean, to me, if they're already teasing this Pennsylvania thing, like if that becomes a far gone conclusion, then Trump has to basically run the show on everything else so that Pennsylvania becomes irrelevant. | ||
| But that's gonna be a tough one. | ||
| So Trump just won North Carolina. | ||
| So that is a good sign for that because that was one of the swing states. | ||
| So that actually is a good sign that if he can do all the other stuff, that Pennsylvania may not matter. | ||
| We shall see. | ||
| Tom, I appreciate you. | ||
| Good seeing you, my friend. | ||
| We'll do this in person next time. | ||
| Same, brother. | ||
| I look forward to it. | ||
| All right, guys. | ||
| So we're going to continue. | ||
| We've got Dr. | ||
| Drew in just a couple minutes. | ||
| The North Carolina thing is big. | ||
| I'd love to see some numbers. | ||
| It's obviously early, but they've apparently called it. | ||
| So that's really fantastic. | ||
| Hopefully, this Pennsylvania stuff, we're just getting some early rumors about this. | ||
| I really don't like... | ||
| That Obama would put a tweet like that out. | ||
| You just have to remember, these are all signals that they send to the system, right? | ||
| So you just, Obama sends the signal out there. | ||
| If he thought that Pennsylvania was trending towards Kamala, does he send out the signal like, oh, we better wait? | ||
| No, of course not, right? | ||
| Look, I get it. | ||
| There's versions of that on the other side too. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| But I'm just dealing with what we have in front of us right now. | ||
| And if that is the situation we're in, where they're just going to delay and delay Pennsylvania so that we can't get to some kind of volition tonight, that would be rough. | ||
| But North Carolina, that's fantastic. | ||
| We've got Dr. | ||
| Drew in about two minutes. | ||
| Anything else? | ||
| Oh, we've got him right now? | ||
| We've got Dr. | ||
| Drew right now. | ||
| We're going two minutes early on Dr. | ||
| Drew. | ||
| Dr. | ||
| Drew, do we have you? | ||
| No, we're going to give you... | ||
| I can hear you. | ||
| Let's do it one more time, Dr. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Drew. | |
| We are live on the internet. | ||
| Can you hear me? | ||
| I hear you. | ||
| Do you hear me? | ||
| I do hear you. | ||
| Let's try to do it. | ||
| Let's do a live stream. | ||
| My ear thing went down. | ||
| I had to grab one from across the table and here I am. | ||
| You are connected into the matrix. | ||
| Don't worry. | ||
| So am I, my friend. | ||
| That's how we can hear. | ||
| Now I've lost this. | ||
| Should we give him a minute? | ||
| All right, we're going to give Dr. | ||
| Drew a minute just to... | ||
| We'll give Dr. | ||
| Drew just a minute to clean up some of the technical stuff. | ||
| Let's jump over to the map. | ||
| So North Carolina, apparently that's official. | ||
| So these are the Electoral College results at the moment. | ||
| It is 178 to Trump and 99 to Kamala Harris. | ||
| So we've had our first... | ||
| It's not that it's a surprise, but we've had our first, I would say, a little out of the mainstream moment because it wasn't... | ||
| North Carolina definitely could have gone either way. | ||
| It has gone to Trump now. | ||
| So that's the first sort of big shift that we're seeing tonight. | ||
| So that's really good if you're going in this direction. | ||
| We'll give Dr. | ||
| Drew just another moment, and then I think we can probably bring him on board. | ||
| So again, we're at 178 to Trump and 99 to Kamala Harris. | ||
| And I think we've got Dr. | ||
| Drew now. | ||
| Dr. | ||
| Drew? | ||
| Am I here? | ||
| Am I in? | ||
| You are in, my friend. | ||
| You are patched in with your earpiece. | ||
| Very fancy. | ||
| They've got us locked in. | ||
| This is where they give us all the information. | ||
| It's through this wire that's behind our ears, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| And I, listen, why is it that every time I talk to you, there's a technical problem? | ||
| Every time! | ||
| Well, it's because you live 3,000 miles away in California, which I'm not going to make fun of you. | ||
| I've had several guests from California on the show today, and I'm just not going to do it with you right now, including your buddy Adam Carolla. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| I heard him on the show. | ||
| We were listening. | ||
| Listen, first of all, congratulations. | ||
| Tonight is the night that digital media breaks through and traditional media sinks. | ||
| This is it. | ||
| You're much more interesting. | ||
| It's much more engaging. | ||
| Why do I want to sit and watch a bunch of talking heads talk about, speculate about numbers when I can hear this incredible lineup of guests that you have? | ||
| Oh, thanks. | ||
| Well, I appreciate that. | ||
| And you absolutely are part of that. | ||
| I mean, I think it's the thing that so many of us have been building. | ||
| And as I said at the top of the show tonight, I mean, I think that's really what's happening here tonight. | ||
| I'm not making that about me. | ||
| I'm not making that about you. | ||
| But the shift now from a hyper-controlled news that clearly does not give you actual news to something that's messier that we're doing here, where every now and again, somebody's earpiece isn't going to be in at exactly the right time. | ||
| But you're going to at least get something directionally I think that is just way better, and I think most people agree with that. | ||
| And not only that, truth for sure, speech for sure. | ||
| I wrote down a quote from Louis Brandeis, the remedy for harmful speech is more speech. | ||
| Brandeis, right? | ||
| A lefty, a liberal. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The liberal amongst the liberals. | ||
| One of the extraordinary liberals of the early 20th century. | ||
| And somehow he has been left behind by his party. | ||
| But I've realized, I've begun to think, I was at the Brownstone Institute meeting over the weekend. | ||
| And Jeffrey Tucker said, you know, no matter who wins, we've started something here. | ||
| We've got a lot of work to do. | ||
| And that's what's important right now. | ||
| And you're alluding to it with what's happening with digital media, which is things need to be decentralized, not centralized. | ||
| Centralized authority, whether it is global or federal, is the enemy. | ||
| And within that enemy, bureaucracy, bureaucracy that only feeds itself and only grows and has no concern for the people they serve. | ||
| That's the enemy right now. | ||
| That's where evil is getting done. | ||
| And as Hannah Arendt pointed out, banality of evil. | ||
| It's done people just doing their job. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| We can't let that go on. | ||
| Drew, did you happen to see, we showed it earlier, but you might have seen it going viral earlier today. | ||
| Someone put together a compilation of cable news people talking about saving democracy, but they changed it via AI, you saw it, to saving bureaucracy. | ||
| And you are exactly, exactly right. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I was talking to a woman, two women today, who were analyzing the bureaucratic, the parallel bureaucratic world that the World Health Organization has put together. | ||
| And when you really start to see what's going on, it just becomes chilling, frightening. | ||
| Bureaucracies, they just keep building. | ||
| And once you have a job in a bureaucracy, you're just doing your job and you're going to do what you got to do to protect your job. | ||
| And these jobs, this is why I'm excited. | ||
| Like you said with the last guest, you know, RFK is my guy. | ||
| Musk is my guy. | ||
| These guys need to be in Washington. | ||
| We did not design this federal government to be doing what it is doing. | ||
| It was not supposed to be involved in our lives. | ||
| It was supposed to regulate interstate commerce and defense, and the rest was supposed to be the state and the local practice of democracy. | ||
| That's how this country works. | ||
| And the fact that the federal government is up in our lives all over the place, is anathema to the principles upon which we were founded. | ||
| I just love the red pilling of Dr. | ||
| Drew. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| Everyone knows I love it. | ||
| I just love it, though, because I knew you when it was starting to happen, and you were the first guy, I think, that ever put me on television when I was a lefty way back when. | ||
| Although your show at the time was not political. | ||
| And to see what happened to you during COVID and how you woke up, I just think is great. | ||
| But Drew, let me throw to this because I just mentioned it a few minutes ago, but this is video from CBS News where they're already hinting and Obama tweeted out that we may not get the results from Pennsylvania tonight, but don't worry, nothing bad's happening over there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Want to turn now to Cecilia Vega, because Cecilia, I know you did some reporting in Pennsylvania. | |
| What are we learning about what may be happening in the Keystone State? | ||
| Yeah, we're just back from a reporting trip there. | ||
| Look, this is the Holy Grail. | ||
| Margaret said it at the top of the show with its 19 electoral college votes. | ||
| And I think, Nora, to understand the significance of Pennsylvania, all you got to do is look back to the final day of campaigning. | ||
| Both candidates there, Donald Trump telling everybody, if we win Pennsylvania, we'll win this whole ball of wax. | ||
| Kamala Harris ending her Her final rally on the steps of the famous Rocky steps there. | ||
| But look, Al Schmidt, the Secretary of State, told me we are probably not going to know the results from Pennsylvania tonight. | ||
| Delay does not mean anything nefarious is happening. | ||
| Pack your patience, you said at the top. | ||
| Drew, putting aside the overproduction, the way that they talk to each other, which is not the way that you and I are speaking to each other in a normal cadence and everything else, putting aside all that theatrics and the great lighting that they have, I'll give them that much for the lighting grid. | ||
| Nothing nefarious. | ||
| Doesn't mean anything nefarious is happening. | ||
| I thought it was election day. | ||
| I'm just old school, right? | ||
| Yeah, you know, look... | ||
| Every other country manages to put it out in a day, and they do it with paper ballots for the most part. | ||
| I was watching the French elections where they just announce it all at once. | ||
| They're just, there's your results, and that's that. | ||
| And it's at the end of the day, and there's the results. | ||
| And the fact that we're not being held to that and things drag on, yes, there may not be anything nefarious happening, but doing so leaves the door open for something nefarious to happen. | ||
| And that's why they feel—it's like, methinks they doth protest too much. | ||
| It's why they add that coda, because they know that if things are going to happen with shenanigans, it's going to be because things are delayed. | ||
| What would you say, I asked Jordan Peterson a slightly different version of this earlier in the evening, about sort of the mental health state of people at the moment as it relates to politics? | ||
| Because even me today, and you know me, I burn pretty cool. | ||
| Politics and media is not everything to me, all of that stuff. | ||
| But everyone is dealing with a certain stress level. | ||
| I have no doubt that there's a certain stress level on the other political side as well, right? | ||
| They think Hitler's on the way, so that would be somewhat stressful. | ||
| How do we get rid of that? | ||
| I mean, if we can't solve our political problems, what can we at least do sort of on our own psychological profile front that might help alleviate some of this craziness? | ||
| Before I answer that, I do want to point out something Adam said to me earlier today, Adam Carolla. | ||
| He said, you know, Trump is not just Hitler, but he's worse than Hitler. | ||
| I didn't know there was necessarily worse. | ||
| It was like Hitler and Stalin and Mussolini all rolled into one. | ||
| And then they go on to say, and then he's old. | ||
| So they go from he's worse than Hitler to he's old so he could die. | ||
| And J.D. Vance is worse than him. | ||
| So what are we talking about here? | ||
| How much worse than Hitler is all these people? | ||
| At some point, you spin yourself off the board. | ||
| I think that's what you're trying to say. | ||
| Well, that's right. | ||
| This is mass formation. | ||
| I also spent the weekend with Matthias Desmet, who sort of invented this construct and is a brilliant psychologist from Belgium. | ||
| And we are in a delusional state and hysteria a lot of the time. | ||
| My estimation is it got going with sort of Trump derangement, then it got put on steroids with COVID, and the media has been a source of a lot of it. | ||
| I didn't realize how duplicitous the government was in all this, but I could see it on the media. | ||
| And if you're not, if you're just listening to Dave Rubin's report, The Rubin Report all evening, I'm not whipped into frenzy, but just even hearing those women talk about Pennsylvania, I got anxious immediately. | ||
| A lot of our problems are coming from the news media in particular, and just media generally, but particularly the news media. | ||
| And back to what I said about bureaucracy and over-centralization, stay local. | ||
| The fact that we're not putting the faith into one doctor and one patient, that we want to put some system on top of that, look what happened with COVID. Patients were sent home because the hospital administrators told the doctors to send them home, have them come back when they're blue. | ||
| This was anathema, the practice of medicine was disgusting. | ||
| Same thing is true in so many aspects of our life. | ||
| The more we focus on our connections, and by the way, the way mass formation works and the way they Foment hysteria is with disconnect, the loneliness, the disconnect, the lack of attachment and love that we have for the important people in our life. | ||
| We must re-entrench locally in all respects. | ||
| It's how democracy in America is designed to work. | ||
| It's how the structure of this country has succeeded. | ||
| It's always been that case, and we need to roll back to that. | ||
| So, yeah, we are very narcissistic. | ||
| Yes, we are very hysterical. | ||
| We are very disconnected. | ||
| But we can do something about that. | ||
| Rather than being swept into mass formation and mobs, you can choose—we're adults—not to be a victim, not to engage in the mob action, not to get involved in cancel culture and Mob focusing of aggression on some sacrifice and just get it back to our local relationships. | ||
| So Drew, let me float this one to you because it seems to me that if Trump wins tonight, if we actually get a result and it is a Trump win tonight, I know he doesn't take office for a few months, but shortly after taking office, I think we can fix a lot of stuff really quickly. | ||
| I think we can fix the Middle East really quickly. | ||
| I think we can fix Russia, Ukraine really quickly. | ||
| I definitely think we can fix our border really quickly. | ||
| I think we can fix some of the trade stuff really quickly. | ||
| We can go on and on down the list. | ||
| Now, I know that there'll be a certain amount of people, to your point, that will remain apoplectic and we're gonna have violence and whatever, but I wanna take the other version of that for a moment, that if Kamala wins, the forces that have woken you up, that everyone watching this knows what they are, they will be so emboldened They will be like, holy cow, we kicked out Biden right in front of their eyes. | ||
| We installed a woman that is clearly not competent to do it. | ||
| We lied to them about virtually everything. | ||
| We threw Barack Obama out there two days before the election to save very fine people again. | ||
| They will be so emboldened because they will be so high on their own nonsense that... | ||
| I think Elon's right. | ||
| This would be the last election in essence. | ||
| Not the last election that we show up at a ballot box, but the last one that would actually matter. | ||
| Do you think that's over the top? | ||
| I hope it's over the top. | ||
| Be careful not to be hysterical. | ||
| Be careful not to misrepresent things. | ||
| Be as accurate and careful as you can or you're being as bad as the other side. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But man, I think I did a somewhat fair job there. | |
| And I'm just I'm just kind of repeating what Elon said. | ||
| Those were Elon's words. | ||
| No, I get it. | ||
| But I'm sort of advocating against leaning into what he's saying. | ||
| And I'm saying that, you know, the French Revolution is a model for how things are playing I'm sorry to tell you, a lot of the things were the same. | ||
| But one of the slogans I heard just today, studying it a bit, was behind the mask of every patriot is a traitor. | ||
| And that is the kind of sloganeering we've been dealing with. | ||
| And I think just in time, and I think it's maybe COVID that did us this favor, people kind of woke up, people shifted, people came out of their sort of party silos and started looking at reality and lining up and forming coalitions. | ||
| That will be able to keep moving forward no matter who wins here, it seems to me. | ||
| Because even if Trump wins, those coalitions still need to do their work. | ||
| We need to understand better what happened during COVID. We need apologies. | ||
| We need truth. | ||
| We need reconciliation. | ||
| It doesn't matter who's in office. | ||
| So there's work to be done no matter what. | ||
| Okay, so now let's bounce back to the other side, which is we get the result that you and I think would be better for the country tonight, and then Trump brings in some of these other people, we start getting this wide tent, things start moving forward in a positive way. | ||
| So if policy starts working better, and now Bobby's fixing some of the health stuff, Yes. | ||
| What other areas would you want to see fixed? | ||
| You know, I could see you getting a call from Trump and saying, hey, help me out with what's going on at the CDC and the NIH. Bobby can't do it by himself. | ||
| Well, that administration asked me to come help them with homelessness, which I attempted to do, and he attempted to respond to it all. | ||
| But the state legal structure wouldn't allow us to do what we're trying to do. | ||
| Now they're slowly starting to move in that direction. | ||
| But meantime, you know, five, six people are dying every day on the streets of L.A. County. | ||
| Good times. | ||
| But yeah, they will need a lot of help. | ||
| And you asked also what, in addition to homelessness, which is really more of a state and county thing, But what else would I like to see fixed? | ||
| They have got to do something about the budget deficits. | ||
| And Musk has alluded at that and his office of government efficiency is going to be focused on that, I hope. | ||
| But oh my gosh, if we allow that to run another four years, I don't know that we can get out of that. | ||
| That to me is the existential threat we have if it's not dealt with. | ||
| Is the problem with the budget thing, it's like, yeah, I actually do believe that Elon could get in there and clear out two trill because it's like, we just, you know, they buy a toilet for $700. | ||
| Like, none of it kind of works right and it's always, you know, it's backhanded, backdoor deals, all that stuff. | ||
| But the problem with really fixing it, unless we get an Elon in there, that it's just not a sexy enough thing to sell to people. | ||
| It is just politically not functional to say to people, oh, we are going to have to not give you as much crap. | ||
| Yeah, well, in Europe, they call it austerity, and they fight against it. | ||
| And there's a psychology that believes, well, they just print more money. | ||
| They've got the printing press. | ||
| Just print the money. | ||
| Science and economics has got to be taught back in schools again because our science, our understanding of the scientific method, our understanding of how homo economicus works is woefully pathetic. | ||
| That concerns me also more than anything. | ||
| If they want help with that, that's the other thing I would help with. | ||
| It wouldn't be that hard to have a basic curriculum around these things that people need to be able to function effectively in the world. | ||
| But yes, it's not sexy, but Bill Clinton did it. | ||
| He did it quite well. | ||
| So let's look to old Bill to help us out and to be the standard bearer for doing it again. | ||
| And Bill Clinton just a week ago was suddenly like, boy, you know, if we let less people in at the border, maybe we'd have less crime. | ||
| So something's going on there. | ||
| It's unclear who he was campaigning for. | ||
| Reality is reasserting itself, I think, is what's happening. | ||
| Reality is breaking out all over. | ||
| And that's really important. | ||
| And we can now say things and talk about things. | ||
| That literally you couldn't say without being endangered a year ago, two years ago. | ||
| Now we're starting to once again have real discourse. | ||
| Jay Bhattacharya had that wonderful conference up at Stanford with differing scientific opinions, shared ideas. | ||
| The president of Stanford University stood up and said, we are going to defend And the university is where you bring lots of different ideas and express them. | ||
| That's the beginning. | ||
| There's things like that happening all around, and I'm very optimistic about that stuff, independent of what happens tonight. | ||
| Well, now I'll reverse on what I started this conversation by saying, and I will ask you something about California, which obviously it's going to Harris for the presidential part. | ||
| But do you see any signs, I mean, relative to some of the good things you're talking about right now, that there is this wake-up, people are tuning out of mainstream media, etc., etc. | ||
| Do you see any signs there that at least there could be some little wins at the micro level, if not taking over the whole thing? | ||
| Because that's obviously... | ||
| I want to introduce you to the city attorney from the city of Huntington Beach, California. | ||
| I want you to interview him when this settles down and you will be blown away. | ||
| He has sued successfully multiple times, the state and Newsom. | ||
| To prevent some of their draconian, insane, ridiculous policies that are contrary to exactly what it is that we all want to achieve. | ||
| I want you to talk to this guy. | ||
| His name is Michael Gates. | ||
| And if he could get up in Sacramento in any capacity of authority, well, now we're—that kind of stuff is breaking up. | ||
| We can just get that stuff, really, people to listen to it and realize how important it is and how insane the movement, the direction we're going is. | ||
| Drew, my last one for you. | ||
| Do we get the result tonight? | ||
| No. | ||
| Everyone's telling you no. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| And they're preparing us for that. | ||
| Unless there's some massive... | ||
| I mean, it's already kind of close. | ||
| If it suddenly shifts all in one direction, you get results. | ||
| But I don't know that that's going to happen. | ||
| The really interesting question is, will we have results in a day or a week or a month? | ||
| That's the more interesting question to me, because I think there will still be debates tomorrow, no matter what. | ||
| But by the end of the day, will we know something? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Wouldn't it be nice if we could just wrap it up tonight? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, just wrap it up and let's all kind of— Let's be like every other country in the world. | |
| I mean, listen, still I don't understand why we have voting machines. | ||
| Why do we have them? | ||
| Why do we have them? | ||
| Are they less expensive? | ||
| Are they more efficient? | ||
| Are they more accurate? | ||
| None of those things! | ||
| Why do we have them? | ||
| Drew, all I know is voting here in Florida today was such a joy to show the ID, to do it with paper, to fill it out with a pen like an old school test that you took back in my day in elementary school or junior high, to then put it back in the envelope of functional adults standing there helping you make sure it goes into the machine properly, someone thanking you. | ||
| It all worked. | ||
| I got 30 seconds and then I got to jump on with the guys at The Blaze. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And it's back to the community. | ||
| You get to see everyone from your community at the firehouses and the garages, and it's nice. | ||
| So, yes, I'm all about it. | ||
| Drew, I'll see you in the free state of Florida soon enough. | ||
| I will be. | ||
| I'll be down there soon. | ||
| Sounds good, my man. | ||
| All right, we're going to jump on in just a sec with the team over at the Blaze, Glenn Black, and the whole crew, I think, is over there, and I'm going to join them. | ||
| We'll keep it on our channel as well, so we'll do a little simulcast. | ||
| I think we are doing a little South Park, a little something. | ||
| You people love it when I watch South Park episodes I've never seen before. | ||
| The whole team is in the room right now. | ||
| Everyone wants me to do this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Oh, we're throwing to a South Park reaction thing. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| 1995 or 1996, I was still a South Park when it originally came out. | ||
| I have only seen clips over time. | ||
| My team is constantly demanding that I watch South Park and they want to show me clips and I react to them and that's what people do on the internet and that's what we're doing today. | ||
| Why am I talking like this? | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay kids, today we have a special assembly, okay? | |
| We're gonna learn about the diversity of Asian people. | ||
| Please welcome Mr. | ||
| Liu Kim and Mr. | ||
| Junichi Takayama. | ||
| Oh yeah, I remember this song. | ||
| Konnichiwa! | ||
| How are y'all fearing? | ||
| Hey, Mr. | ||
| Takayama, did you know that China and Japan are actually a different countries? | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Hey, that's right. | ||
| If you look at map, you can see. | ||
| This whole thing is China and Japan is this little bitty country over here. | ||
| China big, Japan small. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's why the Japanese always try and take over China. | |
| What? | ||
| The Japanese rape and kill people in Nanking. | ||
| The only thing Japanese love more than killing people is killing themselves. | ||
| Suicide rate in Japan, sky high. | ||
| F*** you. | ||
| Oh no, I'm a Japanese and I had a bad day. | ||
| I think I'm going to kill myself. | ||
| I just want to say, Joey, I think you're Korean, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I am, yeah. | |
| I feel like I owe you an apology. | ||
| Okay, what's next? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, people, here we go again. | |
| I did not watch South Park when it originally came out. | ||
| I have only seen clips over time. | ||
| My team is constantly demanding that I watch South Park and they want to show me clips and I react to them and that's what people do on the internet and that's what we're doing today. | ||
| Why am I talking like this? | ||
| Here we go! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay kids, today we have a special assembly. | |
| We're going to learn about the diversity of Asian people. | ||
| Please welcome Mr. | ||
| Lou Kim. | ||
| I would like to ask, if we can get somebody on stage two to answer the question, how are the amendments or the propositions going where it is, what do you call it, the vote? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ranked choice. | |
| Yeah, ranked choice voting. | ||
| I'd like to find out and get an update on that. | ||
| All right, Stu, go ahead. | ||
| We'll take a look at the Senate and where we stand right now. | ||
| There's still a lot of big races, a lot of them more, you know, not on the East Coast, but we do have some updates here. | ||
| For Republicans locked and called seats, right now they are at 46 seats, and the Democrats are down at 35. | ||
| So far, these are states that are either locked or we've called already. | ||
| There's still a bunch that are out there that are almost certain. | ||
| Well, only really one for the Republicans, and you may have just mentioned Utah. | ||
| So that one's coming. | ||
| But also for the Democrats, there's still four more, which puts us right now at a position at 47 seats for Republicans, 39 for Democrats. | ||
| Of course, you have to get to 50 if Donald Trump is to win, if he somehow lost to Kamala Harris, which I am not projecting at this time. | ||
| I want to be very clear. | ||
| You would have to get to 51 to control the Senate. | ||
| This is still very much up in the air, not yet decided. | ||
| Still 14 seats, Glenn. | ||
| So I'd like to know, can somebody check for me, what is happening with the harder race in Nebraska? | ||
| I can get you an update on that here, Glenn. | ||
| I was just looking a couple minutes ago. | ||
| Give me a minute and I'll pull that off. | ||
| If that strategy works, it didn't work the last time in Utah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But this time you're running somebody whose last name is Osborne in Nebraska. | |
| Okay, you want to talk about your name ID championship. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Running with the last name Osborne, as in Tom Osborne, the legendary football coach, you're talking about the patron saint of the entire state. | ||
| I know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| So, yeah, that's a built-in advantage. | ||
| He's a communist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| So he's not a moderate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But he's a communist who's wearing overalls in TV ads while being named Osborne. | |
| Right, okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It does matter. | |
| Yes. | ||
| I'd like to, also, if we can talk a little bit about Iowa and the poll that came out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've got an update on Pennsylvania, too. | |
| Okay, so we'll get to that here in a second. | ||
| Go ahead, Stu. | ||
| So right now, if you kind of want to look at it this way, Pete Ricketts is the race that we've already called. | ||
| In the vote that has been calculated so far, about half the vote is in, Ricketts leads by six. | ||
| With the same amount for the other race, Deb Fischer is down by six. | ||
| So she's running about 12 points behind him. | ||
| That doesn't sound good, of course. | ||
| That being said, Ricketts should win that state by more than 12 points. | ||
| So if that holds, it's likely that she could squeeze out a victory. | ||
| But right now, I still think it's really close and could go either way. | ||
| Okay, thank you very much. | ||
| All right, let's go to Dave Rubin, Blaze TV host of The Rubin Report. | ||
| Are we doing a simulcast right now, Dave? | ||
| Yeah, crossover. | ||
| We are, my friend. | ||
| You are on the Rubin Report, Glenn. | ||
| Don't freak out. | ||
| I'll try not to. | ||
| I'll try not to. | ||
| How are you, Dave? | ||
| I'm all right. | ||
| Look, we're just like you guys. | ||
| We're, what, rolling into hour four of our coverage over here, and there hasn't been any tragic disaster yet. | ||
| Things have all kind of trended in our direction. | ||
| But, Glenn, before we get too excited, I would remind you That four years ago on election night, you and I spoke at about this time and everything was looking pretty damn good for Donald Trump. | ||
| And then a pipe burst in Philly, and then obviously everyone knows the history there. | ||
| So I am cautiously optimistic at the moment. | ||
| I'm very happy about what happened here in Florida, which we knew was obviously staying red, but the amendments that were on the ballot that were gonna potentially change our constitution as it related to marijuana and abortion, they failed. | ||
| And we're seeing some good breaks towards the Republicans when it comes to Latinos and black men. | ||
| So yeah, I think things are good at the moment. | ||
| So Dave, have I ever done anything to you? | ||
| I mean, I've always thought I've been a good guy to you, right? | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Right? | ||
| I mean, I don't know why you're... | ||
| It depends where this is going, Glenn. | ||
| Well, I'm just wondering why you have to come on and remind me that four years ago at this time, things were going so well. | ||
| And then, Glenn, it all fell apart. | ||
| It all fell apart. | ||
| Well, I'm not necessarily connecting the fall apart to me and you speaking at exactly that time, although it is bizarre. | ||
| I think it was almost the exact same minute that we're speaking right now. | ||
| I think it was about 10.30 that I don't remember which state said, OK, we're done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to come back tomorrow morning and start counting again. | |
| We're like, wait, what? | ||
| So we are in that danger zone now. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And the fact that we now accept that as normal, you know, you guys probably read the tweet, but that Barack Obama about 20 minutes ago tweeted out, oh, we probably won't have the results from Pennsylvania tonight. | ||
| That's a signal to the system that, oh, it's okay. | ||
| It's not election day. | ||
| It's election three days or election three months. | ||
| I think that's a problem. | ||
| There was also CBS News Which in essence said, oh, if we don't get the results tonight, that doesn't mean anything nefarious is happening. | ||
| Well, it kind of does because it's election day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, since when did they become union workers all of a sudden? | ||
| I mean, I thought they always were in the unions. | ||
| When did they like, you know what? | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| We're in overtime now. | ||
| We can't work past 930 at night. | ||
| I mean, when did that happen? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, nobody's going to touch a wrench around here. | |
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| You bring some scabs in here to start counting up. | ||
| You're in trouble. | ||
| I mean, it is so bizarre that all of a sudden it's like everything. | ||
| This is the new normal. | ||
| No! | ||
| We don't, as Trump said the other day, we don't have to live this way. | ||
| There's no reason why the rest of the world, much of the third world, can count their votes accurately, and here we are, the most powerful nation in the world, Currently, check what time it is. | ||
| And we can't count our own votes. | ||
| It doesn't make any sense. | ||
| Well, of course, there's no true sense to it unless you wanted skepticism to be built into the system. | ||
| Look, I voted in Florida today. | ||
| And I did it with a paper ballot and a pen and it was very easy to do and clean and clear with competent people. | ||
| And then, you know, at the end you fold up your paper, you walk over to the box, someone shows you exactly how to put it in and you walk out of there. | ||
| I walked out of there very proud to be a Floridian and proud to be an American and feeling confident that my vote matters. | ||
| Now that's in stark contrast to what I was dealing with just four years ago when I voted in the presidential election and in the recall election of Gavin Newsom. | ||
| Which was a little bit before that, in California. | ||
| Because there, I did not have to show an ID. All I did have to have was my name in my brain and my address in my brain. | ||
| And guess what, Glenn? | ||
| I know my neighbor's name and his address, so I could have been him too. | ||
| It really amazes me. | ||
| Did you see that video that came out a couple of days ago with the guy who walked in and they said, what's your name? | ||
| And he gave his name and he said, could be. | ||
| What's your address? | ||
| Could be, and he gave it an address. | ||
| Are you a citizen? | ||
| Yes, but maybe not. | ||
| And they still allowed him to vote. | ||
| I mean, it was the craziest thing. | ||
| And they asked him, wait a minute, what do you mean you're a citizen, but no you're not? | ||
| Well, I mean, I am a citizen, but maybe not, but you can't ask me. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Could be. | ||
| And they still let him vote. | ||
| There's no reason that, you know, you see these poll numbers on this particular question about the credibility and getting an ID and having to prove who you are. | ||
| It's almost universal. | ||
| I think the number is an 80 percent range of all Americans, no matter how you vote. | ||
| Why? | ||
| No, but this is what the left has done with everything. | ||
| They've made everything about race, and then they somehow tell you that black people don't know how to get IDs. | ||
| You know, Glenn, I was on a plane last week. | ||
| I saw black people. | ||
| It was a miracle. | ||
| They somehow figured out how to get an ID and get on a plane. | ||
| You know, occasionally when you go, I don't know when the last time you went mini-golfing was, but when I went mini-golfing last time, I kid you not, they asked for my IDs so that I wouldn't steal the golf clubs. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| It's completely, Literally absurd unless you want enough skept, unless you want enough fraud in the system and or you want enough skepticism in the system so that you can delay an election night so that we could feel good about something until we don't. | ||
| Hold on, can you hold on? | ||
| I think something might be coming across the wire. | ||
| No, I know. | ||
| If you would just hold for a second. | ||
| We have an update. | ||
| I think we're calling another state. | ||
| But I want to talk to you about Joe Rogan and this new coalition that I think you were one of the pioneers on. | ||
| But we'll talk about that in a second. | ||
| Stu. | ||
| Don't give that to Joe Rogan. | ||
| That's Dave's thing. | ||
| He led the way on that. | ||
| Come on now. | ||
| We've got two states to call. | ||
| We have Utah, Glenn. | ||
| You called this! | ||
| Yeah, it's a surprise. | ||
| Glenn knows the Mormons! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| You knew what was going to happen here in Utah. | ||
| Well, we all get together and, you know, collude. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I've heard about that. | ||
| I've heard about that. | ||
| So six go for Utah there. | ||
| And Montana, which is more interesting for its Senate race. | ||
| John Tester is trying to hold on as a Democrat in this very bright red state. | ||
| But three or four electoral votes from Montana going to Donald Trump. | ||
| Okay, thank you very much. | ||
| Okay, so Dave, we were just talking about this. | ||
| I don't know how you feel about the campaign that Donald Trump ran, but it was not the 2016, definitely not 2020. | ||
| He is, I think... | ||
| I think the assassination and the time that he had outside of the White House to really think about what he had just experienced and what he would do differently. | ||
| The man became a true leader and president, I think, this time around. | ||
| And you're seeing RFK, Tulsi, you know, already people like you and Weinstein and others. | ||
| There is this new kind of, I don't even know if I could call it conservative or Republican, but it's really an independent kind of thing where Donald Trump is bringing people that don't agree on everything. | ||
| It's kind of like the old American. | ||
| We don't agree on everything, but we have these principles and he has been selling something that, and I think he can do it with credibility because of Elon Musk, This is one of the last things he said. | ||
| We don't have to live this way. | ||
| There is a bright future. | ||
| And I think that is the beginning of something. | ||
| Whether he wins or loses, I think there's something to this new kind of coalition that loves the founding principles, you know, the Bill of Rights, that don't agree on everything, but they know we're much better than this. | ||
| Glenn, it's become a running joke on my show that if Trump wins this election, that my life's work is almost complete because as everyone knows at this point, you know, I very famously left the left and I did that why I left the left video for PragerU. | ||
| And then suddenly I found myself talking. | ||
| To all of these people like Larry Elder and Ben Shapiro and you. | ||
| And if you remember, Glenn, when the first time I had you on in my show, if I'm not mistaken, it was early on in 2017. | ||
| First time we ever met, I had you at my house. | ||
| I still had a lot of liberal principles, I would say. | ||
| And you and I sat there for an hour and a half or so. | ||
| We had never spent any time off camera together. | ||
| We do a show live. | ||
| We're suddenly, halfway through the show, We both kind of realized at the same time, boy, we have some differences here. | ||
| Okay, where we exactly fall on abortion may be different or even death penalty or some of these things. | ||
| Now, over the years, you and I have definitely come closer together, probably because I've shifted more in your direction. | ||
| I can see that. | ||
| I've shifted as well. | ||
| I'm nowhere nearer where I used to be in the early 2000s on war and pharmaceutical companies and all of that stuff. | ||
| So we both moved. | ||
| Right, so the shift, it's interesting, because you usually think of a shift from right to left, but in some ways, we now have a circle, and shifts are happening in every which way, right? | ||
| But what really has happened here is that this is not a conservative movement, per se, or a Republican movement. | ||
| This is a pro-America movement. | ||
| If you think that this country is great, if you think our founding documents are the greatest manmade documents that ever freed people, If you think that basic things like having functional borders and institutions that we can trust, and if you think that the Bill of Rights is good and free speech is good and the right to assembly is good and all of those things, well, then we can deal with marginal tax rates and we can deal with some of the foreign policy stuff and all the rest of it. | ||
| So that's what's brought these people together. | ||
| And for years, this is exactly what I wanted. | ||
| because what I found having left the left was, "Oh, I'm suddenly in common cause "with people like Glenn Beck, "so how do you make that a movement?" Not just, "Oh, it's a couple of us "talking about these things." And I think this is the moment for it, And if tonight continues to go our way, I'm not retiring tomorrow, but it would be a nice feather in my cap, I suppose. | ||
| I feel the same way. | ||
| We're a long way of stabilization of this idea, but I feel the same way. | ||
| I feel like there is a very bright future. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| If we can get past the next 72 days, you know what I mean? | ||
| What happens in the next 72 days could be very, very dicey, especially globally. | ||
| I mean, you're being a Jew, you understand. | ||
| Can you imagine what it feels like to be either in Iran tonight and being somebody who hates the regime, But has had this administration just funneling money to that regime. | ||
| What your hope is with another Donald Trump attempt, what it feels like in Israel, what it feels like in any of these countries where you are watching America And you're seeing a guy saying, you know what? | ||
| We're going to deport all of these people. | ||
| Bill Clinton is the president who deported more people than any other president in history. | ||
| He deported 11 million illegals. | ||
| Nobody said a word about it. | ||
| Donald Trump is saying 15 million. | ||
| That's not that big of a deal, especially with the changes in our population. | ||
| This guy could set the entire world in a different course because they're looking for somebody like America to stand up and say, enough of this. | ||
| And imagine what it feels like to watch this in another country, the hope it could give you. | ||
| Yeah, if I could speak to the Israel point for just a second, I am Jewish, and I really hope we're gonna see record turnout for Donald Trump on the Jewish side of things, from the Jewish population tonight. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| But on the Israel side of things, you know, all Israel wants is support from America, basically diplomatically, and then obviously they get weapons from us, which really becomes, you know, every dollar that we give them, they have to spend in the United States, so it's not like they keep that money. | ||
| But putting that aside for a moment, every success that they've had in this war Which is now a seven-front war over the course of the last two months, this miraculous thing where they've taken out all of Hezbollah's leadership by getting Sinwar in Gaza and everything else. | ||
| It's not because of America, it's because they ignored America. | ||
| Kamala Harris, what was it, three weeks ago or a month ago, said that, I mean, the audacity of the woman, She said she studied the maps of Rafa and Israel can't go into Rafa. | ||
| Well, then they ignored her and they killed the head of Hamas. | ||
| And there's many, many other examples of this. | ||
| They just need the leeway to finish the war so that they could, you know what, putting aside the 100 plus Israelis that are still hostages, there are five Americans. | ||
| There are five Americans. | ||
| And I don't think this administration gives a Yeah, I know. | ||
| Crap about the Americans. | ||
| Yeah, thank you for that. | ||
| I appreciate that lack of candor on that word. | ||
| It almost happened. | ||
| I know, I know. | ||
| We run a countdown, or not a countdown, a count-up clock of how many days we've had hostages. | ||
| Nobody even thinks of it. | ||
| And I think the mainstream media is done. | ||
| If he wins tonight, mainstream media is over. | ||
| It is over. | ||
| The next debates will be on shows like this or networks like yours or whatever. | ||
| Why would you go on ABC or CBS or any of them? | ||
| It's over and they know it. | ||
| And I think the kind of policy from the State Department and all of these big war people... | ||
| I think that's over, too. | ||
| I mean, there is a dynamic change happening right now tonight. | ||
| Dave, thank you. | ||
| It's good to see you, my friend. | ||
| It's great to see you. | ||
| Always proud to work with you guys in the midst of all the craziness. | ||
| Likewise. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You know, we've made so many great friends. | ||

| Hey, Comalexa. | ||
| People are telling me about illegal aliens. | ||
| How many illegal aliens did you let in on your watch? | ||
| All right, guys. | ||
| Always good to be with Glenn and my friends over at The Blaze. | ||
| We have Larry Elder, the white face... | ||
| No! | ||
| The black face of white supremacy. | ||
| I almost changed his skin color. | ||
| Oh, let's bring him on right now. | ||
| Okay, let's go. | ||
| Before we get into some of the numbers, we have the black face of white supremacy, Larry Elder on the program. | ||
| Larry, how are you, my friend? | ||
| Don't laugh. | ||
| I worked very hard for that title. | ||
| I almost reversed your color and your supremacy. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Before we dive in, there's a couple of numbers that are getting updated right now, Larry, but things seem to be looking pretty good tonight. | ||
| How are you feeling? | ||
| I feel guardedly optimistic. | ||
| Obviously, we're waiting on Pennsylvania. | ||
| The margin of victory in Florida was bigger than I think most people thought. | ||
| North Carolina is in the bag, so I think we're good. | ||
| So let's get a couple numbers out real quick on some of the other ones that are important. | ||
| Arizona with about 48% in, Phoenix, can you just lower that for me a little bit? | ||
| Arizona with about 48% in is basically 50 to 49.2 in favor of Kamala. | ||
| Pennsylvania with 51% in is basically 50-48 in favor of Trump. | ||
| And so everything else right now, Georgia has got Trump up by five points with 82% in, so Georgia's looking pretty good. | ||
| Larry, before we dive into just like the numbers and the map and the whole thing, do you feel that what we are seeing tonight outside of the pure political part, there's been a theme for the hours that we've been doing this show amongst most of my guests, that we're seeing a real shift in the media in terms of what's happening online versus the corporate press. | ||
| And that might be really the meta story here that's maybe, it's not more important than the election, but it's right next to the election. | ||
| I think you're right. | ||
| And you know who started all of this? | ||
| Who let that fuse? | ||
| Donald Trump. | ||
| Donald Trump is the one who popularized the expression fake news. | ||
| He really got people, I think, looking far more I know you and I have been talking about this for a long time, other people have, but Donald Trump has really singled out the news, called him out, called him all sorts of nasty names, and they've gone after him with a vengeance, and virtually every time Donald Trump has called him out and said, you guys have done this, you guys have done that, he's been proven right. | ||
| There's a reason that the LA Times did not endorse Kamala Harris. | ||
| There's a reason that the Washington Post did not endorse Kamala Harris. | ||
| There's a reason the Gannett newspapers did not endorse Kamala Harris. | ||
| They are beginning to realize that That their left-wing bias is starting to offend people. | ||
| And Donald Trump, I think, ignited that movement. | ||
| Is she the worst candidate in modern times, regardless of what happens tonight? | ||
| Just, I mean, in terms of someone able to sell their ideas and that you could authentically look at them and believe that they believe what they're saying. | ||
| Well, Dave, look at the hand she was down. | ||
| She was a co-pilot for four years. | ||
| She said that she'd been the last person in the room for every major decision. | ||
| 79% of people feel we're on the wrong track. | ||
| The only way she could win is to dump on Joe Biden, distance herself from him, say that, well, when he pulled out of Afghanistan, I said, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Joe. | ||
| When he did build back better, I said, I don't want to be the tie-breaking vote for that. | ||
| When he went and reversed Donald Trump's policies on the border, I said, you know, you can't do that. | ||
| She can't say that credibly because it's not true. | ||
| So she was dealt a pretty bad hand. | ||
| Most people feel we're on the wrong track. | ||
| And the bottom line is, are you better off now than you were three and a half years ago? | ||
| Unless you're an illegal alien, the answer is no. | ||
| I don't know how you can squirrel your way around that if she couldn't do it. | ||
| You're in California. | ||
| I've had a lot of Californians on. | ||
| California's gone. | ||
| Is that a slur? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| First I implied you were white, and now this. | ||
| It doesn't get much worse, Elder. | ||
| It's good to see you, my man. | ||
| You're in Cali. | ||
| Elon's prediction basically was that if Kamala wins, that we end up as Cali. | ||
| I brought this up with Dr. | ||
| Drew a few minutes ago. | ||
| That feels right to me. | ||
| We will continue to have elections, but the system will be so corroded that they will be largely irrelevant. | ||
| Do you think that's a fair diagnosis? | ||
| I do, but there are some sprouts of common sense even here in California. | ||
| Just today, front page of the LA Times, which I read so nobody else has to, a long article self-examining whether or not there are too many Democrats in Sacramento. | ||
| As you know, we have a supermajority Democrat in the Senate. | ||
| Supermajority in the Assembly, and believe it or not, the article said, maybe, just maybe, we're all talking to ourselves, no other ideas, maybe that's not a good idea. | ||
| I was shocked to see that article on the front page. | ||
| Also, George Gascon, the LADA, is probably going to go down by about 30 points. | ||
| And then there's a proposition called 36, which essentially will repeal 47. | ||
| Kamala Harris's fingerprints are all over 47. | ||
| She was AG and wrote kind of a glowing little description about 47, about it being criminal justice reform, which is why voters were duped into voting for it. | ||
| They're now very angry. | ||
| And the Proposition 36 is probably going to win by about 30 points. | ||
| And Kamala Harris refused to say whether or not she voted for it or against it. | ||
| So there's some little things going on here in California. | ||
| Plus, a million people have left. | ||
| I gave a speech recently in Phoenix, Dave. | ||
| I talked about my race in California for governor. | ||
| I said, now I know why I lost. | ||
| My voter roll was true. | ||
| Hey, I campaigned with you and voted for you, and then I left. | ||
| And then you left, yeah. | ||
| You did it the right way. | ||
| Listen, I hate bringing up all the, every time we talk, unfortunately, we all get caught in this race nonsense, and then I have to ask you these stupid race questions, and I know how you feel about them, but there are some positive trends that seem to be happening right now. | ||
| From the numbers that I just saw out of Georgia, it does seem like the black vote in Georgia is gonna go up probably by like eight to 10% to Trump. | ||
| That seems good. | ||
| We're seeing the Latino numbers go up towards Trump. | ||
| These are good indicators, as much as we don't want to talk about race, that something else is happening here, right? | ||
| Well, Dave, whether you're Hispanic or Black, when you walk into a grocery store and you're paying 21% more than you were three and a half, four years ago, it's going to bite. | ||
| I also believe that there is a real anger over illegal immigration. | ||
| When Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott began putting illegals on buses and sending them to places like New York and Chicago, then and only then did the media begin focusing on this. | ||
| And the cohort that's most hurt by illegal aliens are unskilled black and brown people living in the inner city. | ||
| They've got to compete against these illegals for jobs. | ||
| And the presence of illegal alien labor, according to a study done by the Civil Rights Commission, puts downward pressure to the tune of almost $2,000 on the wages of black men And Hispanics every single year that they're there. | ||
| And I also think school choice is a sleeper issue. | ||
| You've got 13 public high schools in Baltimore, all located, Dave, in the inner city. | ||
| 0% of the kids can do math at grade level. | ||
| And the Democratic Party is a party of the teachers' union. | ||
| They hate, hate, hate school choice. | ||
| But polls show that urban parents, black and brown parents, want school choice. | ||
| And Donald Trump has pushed that cause pretty hard. | ||
| So with that in mind, I mean, is this the most hopeful you've ever been in some sense, regardless of what happens specifically over the next couple hours? | ||
| I mean, the things that you just mentioned when you're talking about the inner city violence and school choice and all of these issues, I mean, these are the issues you've been talking about for at least three decades. | ||
| Well, that's right, and also crime. | ||
| You've got Kamala Harris, Barack Obama maligning the police, causing what's called the Ferguson effect or the George Floyd effect, and that's the phenomenon of cops pulling back from their normal proactive policing. | ||
| As a result, you're finding violent crime up in places like LA, Chicago, New York. | ||
| But arrests are down. | ||
| Now, why would crime go up and arrests go down? | ||
| Because the police no longer are engaging in proactive policing for fear they're going to be called systemically racist. | ||
| Polls show that black people want the police there as much as white people do because they're the ones who are disproportionately affected by things like cashless bail and soft on crime policies by these George Soros-backed DAs. | ||
| So I think it's also a big factor as well. | ||
| So the real question is, could we survive the white middle-class liberal Karen? | ||
| Will she destroy Western civilization? | ||
| Well, there is a huge pushback. | ||
| There was a big article in the New York Times, of all places, about the DEI at University of Michigan, where I went for law school. | ||
| That's probably the university that spent more money on DEI. They hired a whole bunch of consultants. | ||
| They don't teach. | ||
| They're a bunch of bureaucrats. | ||
| It was something like 50 million bucks, wasn't it? | ||
| 50 million bucks a year or something like that. | ||
| I think it was $250 million altogether in the last several years on DEI programs. | ||
| And the kids are upset. | ||
| The white kids are upset. | ||
| The black kids are upset. | ||
| The teachers are upset. | ||
| They feel they can't really teach their subjects for fear they're gonna be called racist. | ||
| It hasn't worked. | ||
| And that is a very liberal city, Ann Arbor, a very liberal university. | ||
| They've done everything they can and it's not working. | ||
| So I think maybe just maybe There's a awakening about where this country is going. | ||
| Larry, I got one more for you, my friend. | ||
| If things work out tonight, or even if it takes till tomorrow or the next day, but hopefully tonight, because we all know the longer it goes on, the worse it looks for us. | ||
| And you got the call from President Trump, which I think you would get. | ||
| What would you do? | ||
| What would you want to do? | ||
| Because I do think you would get a call. | ||
| I think you have been so ahead on so much of this. | ||
| Several other of the candidates during the primary were repeating Larry Elder lines constantly, constantly. | ||
| I think you would get a call. | ||
| Nikki Haley stole my line I've been using for 30 years. | ||
| We've got a country to save. | ||
| I sent her a bill for 10%. | ||
| I haven't heard back from her. | ||
| It's behind your head right now! | ||
| Dave, the job I want is treasurer of Black Lives Matter. | ||
| I hear there's a lot of money there. | ||
| I love you, Larry. | ||
| Good seeing you, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love you, too. | |
| God bless. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Talk to you soon. | ||
| All right, guys. | ||
| So we have Sage Steele. | ||
| She is at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| And of course, that is Donald Trump's country club slash... | ||
| Facility slash venue slash home slash hotel slash all of the stuff. | ||
| So we're going to have her there in a few minutes, and we'll see if maybe she can grab some people in. | ||
| We're really doing all of this on the fly, so we'll see what Sage can do over there. | ||
| Then I'm going to be doing a cross-stream with Megyn Kelly and a couple other things. | ||
| Can we get back to some of those numbers that I wasn't able to get to right before? | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Just Virginia. | ||
| Virginia with 64% in is 49.66 to Trump and 48.7 to Kamala, so that's way too close to call. | ||
| Pennsylvania, you know, it's almost a 2.2% advantage to Trump with basically 51% in. | ||
| That's pretty good, but again, it sounds like Pennsylvania is gonna be the screwy one tonight, so we'll see. | ||
| But you can see the maps starting to come together. | ||
| We're getting there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's see. | |
| It sounds like he might've just won Georgia, which is huge. | ||
| All right, Ted Cruz won the Texas Senate seat. | ||
| So that is great to see that Ted Cruz will remain in the Senate. | ||
| That's not a surprise, but he wanted 52 to 46. | ||
| And Georgia, is Georgia official? | ||
| We're trying to figure out if Georgia's official right now, but it sounds like, and Georgia about a half hour ago was definitely trending in that direction. | ||
| So if he gets Georgia and he gets North Carolina, there is some, we'll start crunching the numbers, but there is some situation that would allow for Pennsylvania, I think, to not be called tonight and it actually wouldn't matter. | ||
| There's gotta be some scenario that the math adds up on that. | ||
| But we'll get to that in a second. | ||
| We've got Sage Seale at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| In just a couple of minutes. | ||
| And what should we do in the meantime? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to throw to a video of... | |
| We've got something from the Televised Mental Institution known as MSNBC. They want some good news tonight. | ||
| I can feel the anxiety in the crowd. | ||
| It's a pure Project 2025 in miniature in Florida and that kind of extreme sort of extremist right wing fascist type government in Florida, does that make it a more attractive place? | ||
| All right, so that started with CNN. It's a little nervous in Kamala country. | ||
| And then, of course, these people, that crazy woman at MSNBC. Yes, it's Project 2025 here. | ||
| They're coming for the gays and the black people and everything else. | ||
| It's pure nonsense. | ||
| I am so... | ||
| Proud to live in this state where things are done properly and correctly. | ||
| And these amendments, you know, you need a 60% in Florida, you need 60% to add a constitutional amendment. | ||
| But they went really hard. | ||
| I'm telling you, every time I turned on YouTube, When I'm watching old sports games, when I'm doing cardio, every ad was to get, especially Prop 3. | ||
| I saw way more actually on Prop 3, which was to legalize marijuana than I saw on Prop 4, which was to reverse the heartbeat bill. | ||
| But they went so hard, they poured in so much money, but people in this state, they understand. | ||
| You don't just change the Constitution willy-willy-nilly. | ||
| All right, so it looks like Donald Trump is the winner of Georgia, which is fantastic. | ||
| He's projected to win Georgia. | ||
| Projected to win. | ||
| I'm just saying projected. | ||
| With basically 87.9% in, Trump has 51.25% of the votes. | ||
| That seems like it would be pretty tough to overcome. | ||
| Kamala's got... | ||
| My guess is it's about 2.2 million. | ||
| It's something like that. | ||
| 2.1. | ||
| Yeah, 2.1 million. | ||
| All right, so we're getting some more numbers. | ||
| We're working on Sage Steel over at Mar-a-Lago right now. | ||
| And the Kalshi betting odds are coming in right now. | ||
| Am I looking at that correctly? | ||
| Am I seeing 80? | ||
| What does that look like? | ||
| 80? | ||
|
unidentified
|
40, 60. | |
| Wow, so it's now 83%. | ||
| This is the betting markets. | ||
| Again, there's nothing scientific. | ||
| This is just the people that are throwing money down on the system right now. | ||
| 83% of them are saying Donald Trump will win, and that clearly is getting better. | ||
| I just can't get excited until we have something legit. | ||
| It's kind of unfortunate, but having done this four years ago, four years ago, for those of you that have been with us for a while, I was on air. | ||
| We lived in Los Angeles at the time. | ||
| I was on air with the Daily Wire guys. | ||
| I mean, think what a different world that was. | ||
| It was in the midst of COVID. Daily Wire was still in Los Angeles. | ||
| I was still in Los Angeles. | ||
| We did coverage all night long with them. | ||
| I was on with Ben Shapiro, obviously, and Michael Knowles and all the usual cast characters, Andrew Klavan, et cetera. | ||
| It was all trending towards Trump direction. | ||
| I remember we got in my car with my then producer, Michael, and it was just like, we did it. | ||
| We did it. | ||
| And I knew I had to come home because I was going to be on air with Glenn Beck. | ||
| And I was on air with Glenn Beck, and you can probably find the video online, and we were talking about how Trump is going to win and everything's going to be great and it all worked out. | ||
| And then Somewhere around right now, that pipe burst in Philly, and then things started getting crazy. | ||
| So I cannot get too excited just yet. | ||
| So let's just keep it with that. | ||
| We got some House results so far. | ||
| Republicans have 135 seats. | ||
| Democrats have 89 seats. | ||
| You need 218 for control. | ||
| So there's a whole lot of stuff that needs to be sorted out on that side. | ||
| And the Republicans basically have picked up one seat on the Senate side so far, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Picked up West Virginia. | |
| West Virginia and anything else? | ||
| The updated map so far is Republicans have 48 seats, Democrats 36, and obviously you need 50 for control, and then of course the VP is the deciding factor in all of this. | ||
| But they will flip Montana, so that's good. | ||
| So in essence, Republicans will have at least 49 seats. | ||
| All right, are we still trying to get Sage? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, she's on location there, like, working like... | ||
| I'm sure she's busting her butt to just get good internet over there. | ||
| That's gotta be something. | ||
| And then I'll be on with Megyn Kelly in about 10 minutes. | ||
| Here, all right. | ||
| Let's, for a moment, we're just gonna break it up for just a moment while we get Sage. | ||
| We're gonna bust out the Nintendo again. | ||
| Can we bust out Nintendo? | ||
| Let me see if I can get... | ||
| We were gonna try to beat Super Mario Brothers tonight. | ||
| We have Sage! | ||
| All right, let's see if we have Sage Steele over at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Sage, do we have you? | ||
| Hello, Dave Rubin. | ||
| Yes, can you hear me? | ||
| I can hear you, my friend. | ||
| We did it. | ||
| How's it going over there? | ||
| It's looking good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't want to get too crazy. | |
| Well, I know. | ||
| Listen, I'm trying to remain calm and professional, which is a challenge on a night like tonight. | ||
| Not sure if you guys... | ||
| Can you see my necklace? | ||
| I'm going to try to get this cord out of the way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hold on. | |
| Ready? | ||
| Look at you. | ||
| Oh, look at that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
MAGA MAGA with the bling over there. | |
| Like I said, not exactly professional, but fun. | ||
| I'm feeling quite festive. | ||
| Everybody's come over here to the convention center because this is where... | ||
| The transfer is coming from Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| This is where Donald Trump will eventually end up. | ||
| Hopefully it will be part of a massive celebration. | ||
| But right now there are thousands of people here at the convention center. | ||
| They just brought out the dessert. | ||
| There were some, you know, small entrees. | ||
| It's dessert time, which, you know, means I'm a very happy camper. | ||
| Sage, is everyone kind of having the same feeling right now? | ||
| Like, we're all feeling the same thing, which is, okay, things are trending in our way. | ||
| It sounds like Georgia was just projected for Trump. | ||
| That's great, North Carolina. | ||
| So things are breaking towards Trump. | ||
| But we've been through this script before, four years ago, so no one can get too excited yet? | ||
| Like, is that, I don't even know what the adjective for that word in that room would be. | ||
| Yeah, I think it's, for the most part, I'd say it's super positive. | ||
| I've talked to a lot of people here who are on the campaign with Trump in 16 and in 2020, and everyone really believes that this just feels so much different. | ||
| Obviously, there's been a ton of momentum That has come the Trump campaign's way over the last few days. | ||
| I was on the plane last night with him, with his staff, coming from Grand Rapids, Michigan. | ||
| Before that, we were in Pittsburgh. | ||
| I'm in awe, Dave, of the enthusiasm. | ||
| By the way, he didn't start speaking in Grand Rapids until about 12.30 in the morning. | ||
| It was a packed house. | ||
| Everybody stayed until he left stage at 2.05 and began dancing. | ||
| So I feel like that kind of vibe has transferred down here in Palm Beach. | ||
| And Everyone is very very positive. | ||
| But to your point, I think there's a lot of PTSD because people remember exactly what happened and the shock that occurred when everybody woke up the next morning. | ||
| But it does feel different. | ||
| That's according to the veterans, because I'm a rookie here doing this stuff. | ||
| So you may be a rookie on that stuff, but you've been really inside this thing for the last, I don't know, two months or so and traveling with the women for Trump and with Laura Trump and the crew. | ||
| And oh, is something happening? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Is there somebody there? | ||
| Have they called the state? | ||
| Oh, I think I see on the board something Trump's up 57, whatever. | ||
| Whenever they show a good graphic for Trump, this place breaks out in tears and I kind of love it, but go ahead. | ||
| So now that you've been inside this thing and you mentioned you were just on the plane with him and traveling last night, literally the last night of the campaign and all that, what's been the most surprising thing about the inside part that maybe people don't see when we're just looking at the clips or watching the rallies or the rest of it? | ||
| A couple of things. | ||
| First and foremost, there goes another tray of cookies, so I might have to break off and steal some cookies. | ||
| First and foremost, the word joy that the Democrats kind of took over at the DNC, I don't know how it is over there, but it is genuine joy with his team and with this campaign. | ||
| I'm really blown away by it. | ||
| And that's what it felt like on the plane ride home. | ||
| We landed here in Palm Beach at 5.45 a.m. | ||
| Eastern Time. | ||
| And everybody was smiling and happy from the Secret Service to Donald Trump himself and of course Junior was on the plane and Eric and Laura Trump and Tiffany Trump and everybody is literally so happy. | ||
| I cannot tell you how exhausted this team is but they're all so genuinely positive and literally say that they would do it again a thousand times over. | ||
| So I think the true Happiness of his team, as cheesy as that might sound, it's real, number one. | ||
| Number two, everybody talks about his energy. | ||
| I am shocked, Dave, at what this man does every single day. | ||
| Last night, I'll tell you this, everybody just wanted to take a nap. | ||
| I think we got on the plane at like 2.45, maybe 2.50 Eastern time, a.m., of course, and we're zombies, right? | ||
| right? | ||
| But in like six different states yesterday, many people are six cities, four states, whatever it was, secret service, everybody's tired. | ||
| He is a DJ. | ||
| He pulls out that playlist and like you're all in or get off the So his energy is insane. | ||
| He's probably the oldest person on the plane for sure. | ||
| He's 78 years old. | ||
| And the conversations we were having, the music, the music videos, the sports. | ||
| Dave, I don't understand. | ||
| Like, it's real. | ||
| He is a machine. | ||
| And it's not forced. | ||
| Sage, I'm so sorry. | ||
| Let me pause you for just a sec because we're about to do a simulcast with Megyn Kelly. | ||
| So let me jump on that. | ||
| But clearly the night is not going anywhere anytime soon. | ||
| So can we pick this up with you in a little bit? | ||
| We'll have the guys reach out and we'll coordinate that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, just call me back. | |
| Text me. | ||
| I'll be here. | ||
| Call me. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Thanks, Sage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Tell Megan hi. | ||
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| We're back. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| How did that happen? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So we'll get Sage back on in a little bit. | ||
| Obviously, you at home are feeling the exact same thing that I'm feeling, that all these people are feeling, that Sage is feeling, everyone in that room at the convention center in West Palm Beach is feeling, and probably across the nation right now. | ||
| It's all looking good. | ||
| But it's everything that we've all talked about all year. | ||
| Like, what juice does the system have left? | ||
| What shenanigans are there? | ||
| Why is Obama hinting out the Pennsylvania thing, etc., etc.? | ||
| So we're going to be doing a cross-stream with Megyn Kelly, and I think in about two minutes or so. | ||
| So is that Georgia situation official? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like 91% in, very likely. | |
| I'm getting a very likely from Phoenix. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Same with Morgan. | |
| And same with North Carolina. | ||
| Okay, how about we get the map up for just a second while we are... | ||
| Yeah, maybe we'll get the New York Times map. | ||
| The New York Times, that's a reputable news source. | ||
| It's all the news that's fit to make up, I think. | ||

That's what they call it over there. | |
| All right, so right now we're at 210 for Trump. | ||
| And we're at 112 for Kamala Harris. | ||
| It's even funny. | ||
| I don't even know how many I've said Kamala Harris's name like four times tonight. | ||
| It's like she's not even the candidate. | ||
| It's just blue. | ||
| So it's 210 for Trump, and we know what that means. | ||
| Oh, we know what Donald Trump stands for and means, and we know who the man is. | ||
| And then it's just 112 for blue. | ||
| It's for assorted blue blob, the thing that has existed that wants to control you. | ||
| That's how they've got 112 electoral votes. | ||
| All right, we're going to jump. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna jump over to a video and then I think we'll be on with Megan shortly. | ||

| So I just never got on the South Park train. | ||

| I can't wait to see the look on Kyle's stupid face when he sees my iPad has more memory than his! | ||
| Eric, we can't afford that one. | ||
| Well, you don't expect me to get the Wi-Fi only 16 gig version, do you? | ||
| I think we need to get you a different brand, hun. | ||

| Eric, stop acting like a spoiled brat. | ||
| You can either have the Toshiba Handybook or you can have nothing at all. | ||
| Oh, I've got a better idea. | ||
| Why don't you go across the street and buy some condoms? | ||
| Because we should at least be safe if you're gonna f*** me, Mom. | ||
| Eric? | ||
| You might as well go buy some cigarettes, too, because I like to have a smoke after I get good and f***ed. | ||
| You wanna f*** me, Mom? | ||

| But I told you I was sorry. | ||
| You made me look like some sort of child molester in front of all those people. | ||
| I wasn't trying to get you in trouble. | ||
| Then why did you go outside to a police officer and say, help, help, my mom is trying to me? | ||
| Oh wait, I get it now! | ||
| The F word is a no-no word, and I shouldn't say it around other people. | ||
| I'm sorry, Mama. | ||
| If you're really sorry, then you'll understand why you aren't getting anything. | ||
| Well, no, that doesn't really have any logical sense, Mommy, because I'm already being punished by not getting the iPad. | ||
| Mama, please, can we just go back and get the Toshiba Handybook? | ||
| No! | ||

| And right now, with 82% in in Ohio, he's plus five. | ||
| That could change. | ||
| But here's the breaking news. | ||
| New York Times' Nate Cohn, for the first time tonight, we consider Trump likely to win the presidency. | ||
| He has an advantage in each of the Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin states. | ||
| To win, Harris would need to sweep all three. | ||
| There is still a lot of vote left, but in the voting so far, Trump is narrowly but discernibly ahead. | ||
| And by the way, the New York Times' The Needle is saying he's ahead in the popular vote as well. | ||
| That's their projection. | ||

I would like to issue an apology to all of those states that we have. | |
| Imagine waking up one day to find out, oh, your home, it no longer belongs to you. | ||
| That someone somewhere has stolen your property right out from underneath you. | ||
| It sounds unthinkable, undoable, but it is a sad reality for some American homeowners, and it's a risk for anyone that owns property. | ||
| House stealing. | ||
| That's what the FBI calls it. | ||
| And it's a form of real estate fraud, where scammers leverage these loopholes in the system to fraudulently transfer your home's title into their name, and then they take out loans against your property or even sell it behind your back. | ||
| By the time you find out about this, the scammer's long gone, leaving you, the legitimate homeowner, to clean up the mess. | ||
| But right now, Triple Lock Protection is available through HomeTitleLock.com, offering 24-7 title monitoring, alerts, and restoration services. | ||
| You can sign up today at HomeTitleLock.com and use promo code MEGAN for 30 days of protection for free and a comprehensive title scan to make sure you're not already a victim. | ||
| That's promo code MEGAN and HomeTitleLock.com or by using the link below. | ||
| Back together and joining me now, Dave Rubin, host of The Rubin Report. | ||
| Dave, welcome. | ||
| So far, it's looking very good for Trump. | ||
| Anything could happen. | ||
| You hate to count chickens, but man, I feel like I can hear little tweets. | ||
| Megan Joy cometh this evening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think it might just happen tonight. | |
| Yes, we are all thinking the exact... | ||
| How'd I do there? | ||
| I feel like that was pretty decent. | ||
| You nailed it! | ||
| Not bad, not bad. | ||
| Look, we're all thinking the exact same thing, and this is exactly what we've all been thinking, not just tonight since this all started, but for weeks, which is that clearly things were trending in Trump's way. | ||
| We see the new alliance. | ||
| We see all the disaffected Dems. | ||
| We see this really wide tent Republican thing that so many of us have wanted for so long. | ||
| But what would happen late night on election night? | ||
| So we are exactly... | ||
| I think where we all kind of thought we were going to be. | ||
| So I am feeling as good as you are. | ||
| And by the way, I just very quickly want to say how proud I am for what you did yesterday on stage with him. | ||
| It was just so absolutely wonderful. | ||
| I think it was part of both of your hero journeys and considering where you both were with each other, you know, nine years ago at that first debate. | ||
| And it was just so wonderful. | ||
| But I think we're at the exact moment that we all thought we were going to get to right now. | ||
| And let's just hope that, you know, pipes don't burst and nothing crazy happens. | ||
| Because I think the American people have just had enough of the nonsense and we are about to reset the thing and it would be so freaking wonderful and so overdue and we can have it all back again if we can just stay on this path right now. | ||
| I mean, think about this. | ||
| Okay, the New York Times Electoral College estimate, just updating now, suggesting Trump looking likely to hit 300 to Harris's 238. | ||
| We're getting down now to about the Biden-Trump margin of victory, if that's actually where it lands. | ||
| If Trump wins this, it needs to be by a healthy I don't know, Dave, unless it's big and indisputable, I don't think the Democrats are going to go quietly into the night. | ||
| I don't even know if Kamala Harris will concede. | ||
| It's a tricky question, given all the criticism of Trump for not doing it, but they don't want this guy to take office. | ||
| Well, look, I don't think there's any rule that they wouldn't break. | ||
| I don't think there's any norm that they wouldn't gladly blow past. | ||
| And God knows what shenanigans could happen over the next couple months. | ||
| But I do know... | ||
| Or a couple hours. | ||
| I mean, I'm a little worried about a couple hours. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| Right, so let's get through a couple hours, but let's say it does continue to trend in the way it's going. | ||
| So we get through the couple hours, let's say we get an actual acceptance speech tonight and it really looks legit. | ||
| I mean, we still have months and months of craziness ahead of us. | ||
| You know, I don't even want to think about it too much, but we really do. | ||
| I mean, you know, it doesn't get certified till the 6th. | ||
| He doesn't get, you know, put into the office until the 20th of January, obviously I'm talking about 2025. | ||
| And, you know, this was always the danger. | ||
| If you were going to run around and say that your opponent was Hitler or a fascist and his supporters were... | ||
| White supremacists and neo-Nazis and all the rest of the nonsense. | ||
| What wouldn't you do to stop him? | ||
| What wouldn't be legitimate to stop that movement? | ||
| This is the thought exercise that people have had for 50 years. | ||
| Would you kill baby Hitler? | ||
| It's a real thing that philosophers debate and think about. | ||
| And that really is the problem right now. | ||
| And it's so unfortunate because it did not have to be this way. | ||
| They could have had an honest, we could have had six months, well not six months because she just got in a couple months ago, but we could have had four months of an honest political debate in this country. | ||
| The real difference between these two parties, these two people, the candidates, et cetera. | ||
| And instead, we got your Hitler, and then what it does is it puts a whole bunch of Democrats, who hopefully end up on the losing side of this thing, thinking that Hitler's in charge, and he's not in charge, but it's not gonna stop their craziness, and that's the real problem. | ||
| No, but her messaging from the moment she was anointed was absolutely all over the place. | ||
| She launched with the, he's a sexual predator and a criminal fraudster and I know the type because I'm a former prosecutor. | ||
| She went underground. | ||
| We didn't hear anything except her scripted canned lines that we've heard a million times. | ||
| Didn't speak with the press for all of August. | ||
| You know, all of that. | ||
| Remember, she went like six weeks without talking to anybody in the press. | ||
| She gave like two airplane side, you know, questions to somebody. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| And then finally she comes out and starts talking. | ||
| Things start spiraling. | ||
| Obviously that was hurting her. | ||
| They didn't know what to do to get momentum. | ||
| And then they switched to Hitler fascist I mean, just the most vile things possible. | ||
| And then the last two days of the campaign, Dave, they switched with all positive. | ||
| She's going to stick to her uplifting message. | ||
| I mean, as if the voters have no idea what's been happening. | ||
| I mean, to some extent, unfortunately, their voters do have no idea what's been happening because their voters mostly apparently watch mainstream media. | ||
| And I think the other thing that's happening here tonight is we are seeing a wholesale shift in the media landscape. | ||
| People watching your show, people watching my show, whatever the guys at The Daily Wire are doing, etc., etc., That something, and there's lefty versions of all of us, of course, that people are tuning out of the lies, and the machine has lied to so many of us for so long, and just way too many of us have now woke up. | ||
| I mean, think about, to me, the craziest thing that happened in this last week was that Barack Obama, two days before the election, so on Sunday, goes up in Wisconsin, gives a speech, and says, very fine people, again. | ||
| This thing has been debunked into oblivion. | ||
| But he thought he could go up and, first off, he called it a white supremacist rally, which it wasn't. | ||
| Obviously, it was a debate about statues, Robert E. Lee in this case. | ||
| But then Donald Trump, we all know, Donald Trump said, I'm not talking about the white supremacists or the neo-Nazis. | ||
| He was talking about very fine people on both sides of the debate about whether you take down statues or not, which, of course, there are very fine people who could have opinions on that. | ||
| But the fact that Obama thought he could give that speech, he knew he was lying. | ||
| There's no way Barack Obama, it would be so generous to say to him, oh, you just didn't know what you were saying. | ||
| That's absurd. | ||
| So he went on stage knowing that he was going to lie, knowing that it was going to be debunked. | ||
| I put up a 30-second video which just had Obama saying it and then Trump's answer. | ||
| It got like 100,000 retweets. | ||
| I'm not a genius. | ||
| I just did it because it was obvious. | ||
| So he knew it was gonna be debunked, obviously, yet he still lied to them. | ||
| So what does that tell you? | ||
| They think of their own base. | ||
| They think they are A, dumb, or B, brainwashed, and they don't care. | ||
| Yeah, as my friend Maureen says, not this friend Maureen, but a different friend, he stinks of desperation. | ||
| They stink of desperation. | ||
| That's what it really shows you. | ||
| They got increasingly desperate because their internal polls were showing, I'm sure, some of what we're seeing tonight, and they knew more than they were letting on. | ||
| And that explains some of the mood, and that explains some of the messaging, because they kept shifting. | ||
| And if you're winning, you're not shifting. | ||
| You know, one other thing, Maureen Callahan, I wanted to ask about is the fact that she closed this campaign out with Oprah, Beyonce, J-Lo, Cardi B, who, I mean, honestly, it was like, okay, Cardi B is the most foul-mouthed, four-letter word-loving, like, raunchy, but that's fine if that's how you want to do it. | ||
| But She leaned into the Hollywood elite. | ||
| She was not with the guys in the hard hats over and over, taking pictures of them, talking to them, connecting with them in the campaign or otherwise. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the Dems wonder why they keep shedding the working class vote, the white working class, why they're now shedding the Latino vote, the black vote, the male vote. | |
| They don't understand it. | ||
| And I was really puzzled, particularly by the J-Lo, allowing her to endorse her so publicly at her rallies. | ||
| J-Lo is Diddy adjacent right now. | ||
| We know this. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| She's in the news all the time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All the time. | |
| She's running away from reporters who ask her about this. | ||
| She's shutting them down. | ||
| What is this campaign thinking? | ||
| It never works. | ||
| It smacks very much of Hillary as well. | ||
| When we talked about the Oprah interview right after it happened and Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, I know you're going to win. | ||
| I just know you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, remember she's... | |
| Madam President Harris. | ||
| Oh, whoops. | ||
| Oh, me? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Just the greatest actress in the world. | ||
| We knew how alienating that would come across to regular people. | ||
| They do this every time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They do it every time. | |
| It doesn't move the needle. | ||
| In fact, it turns people off. | ||
| And Oprah, I mean, if you watched it the way I watched it, you knew Oprah was like, this woman is full of shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, how do I spin this? | |
| I'm in it now. | ||
| I'm in for a penny. | ||
| I'm in for a pound, you know? | ||
| But wait, here's the theory, Dave Rubin, on the Oprahs of the world, the power brokers of the left of the world and Kamala. | ||
| It's that, Tucker said this to me, they're thrilled she's an empty vessel. | ||
| They don't give two shits. | ||
| They just want someone they can control. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| They want interchangeable parts. | ||
| And she's just an interchangeable part who lives in service to the system. | ||
| And the reason, and by the way, if I was Kamala, I would live in service to the system because she's done nothing to deserve to be the nominee and certainly done nothing to be the president of the United States. | ||
| So you would just give the system what it wants. | ||
| So when you ask the question about the actors, I think you know what the answer is. | ||
| The answer is actors that do this, that just go all in, And by the way, what's her name? | ||
| Who's with the bucket and the girl? | ||
| Cardi B. Sorry, I know she has the bucket and the song. | ||
| Yeah, the whole thing. | ||
| Yeah, it's a lovely song. | ||
| Yeah, great song, great song. | ||
| This is a woman who just weeks ago was railing against Kamala, but then clearly got some sort of call like, you're going to have to do it. | ||
| Same thing as Usher. | ||
| Remember, Usher was on The View about two months ago saying, I'm not going to get political, and then suddenly he was on stage with her. | ||
| The reason they all do it is actors and musicians and everything else, for as talented as some of them might be, they're all interchangeable. | ||
| Why is it that the entire cast of the Avengers, every single one of them, as good as an actor as Robert Downey Jr. | ||
| is or whoever you like there, Scarlett Johansson, how did they all come out on the exact same side of the political issue? | ||
| Well, it's because they're in service to the Hollywood system. | ||
| Actors can be replaced. | ||
| You might think Robert Downey Jr. | ||
| is the greatest Iron Man of all time, but someone else can do it. | ||
| And so because their talent is actually not that rare and very interchangeable, they are very easily put into any system to do whatever the system wants. | ||
| And I think we're seeing the end of that now, which is absolutely extraordinary. | ||
| It's wonderful. | ||
| It's long overdue. | ||
| And hopefully more and more people will realize this is what it was for a long time. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Oh, Dave Rubin, great to see you. | ||
| Thanks for coming on. | ||
| Good to see you, Megan. | ||
| All right, we're back. | ||
| We're back. | ||
| I was watching myself on a slight delay there. | ||
| Okay, so we have Alex Stein on in three minutes. | ||
| We're going to jump back over to right outside of, or I guess it's sort of adjacent to Mar-a-Lago, the convention center where it's... | ||
| Again, I don't wanna get ahead of myself, but Donald Trump may give some sort of acceptance speech if things keep going in this direction, but a pipe might burst. | ||
| We shall see. | ||
| But let's get to the New York Times electoral map for a moment. | ||
| Right now it is 214 to Donald Trump, 179 to blue. | ||
| I don't even think we have to say her name anymore. | ||
| She represents nothing other than blue, a blob, a blue blob that doesn't really care about you. | ||
| But we do have some other interesting numbers right now. | ||
| So Georgia with 93% in is now 4%. | ||
| Towards Trump. | ||
| So Georgia definitely seems like it's gonna go to Trump at this point. | ||
| That seems pretty clear. | ||
| Arizona is significantly closer with 53% in. | ||
| It's 904,000 votes to Trump and 901,000 to Kamala. | ||
| So clearly that can go either way. | ||
| So we'll see what happens in Arizona, but Georgia's looking good. | ||
| Pennsylvania with 69% in is three points in favor to Trump, but that seems to be the place that we need to be focused on. | ||
| At the moment, Wisconsin with 61% in, Trump's got about a 2% lead over there. | ||
| Michigan with 29% in, Trump's got about a 4% lead, so that's a nice lead, but 4% obviously at this point. | ||
| With 29%, it is too early to call. | ||
| Let's put up the Kalshi market map for just a second, because now they are at 90% that Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. | ||
| Again, these are not scientific. | ||
| These are the people that are betting, and some people will make an awful lot of money tonight, and some people are gonna lose an awful, well, hopefully tonight, and some people will lose an awful lot of money tonight. | ||
| We will see. | ||
| I have to say, guys, the cast of characters that we've assembled for you tonight, I hope, is indicative of really what will happen now with the media going forward and all the things that I've been trying to build here for so long and that for whatever portion of this you've watched, if you've been with us for the entire five plus hours at this point, Or just been checking in here and there while you're flicking around. | ||
| Like we really can build such a better media at this point. | ||
| And I guess maybe we built it while they weren't even paying attention or while they were trying to censor us or destroy us or the rest. | ||
| But with, you know, a limited staff of less than a dozen people here, I think we've already shown you that we can put together a more entertaining, informative election night than what they are doing with these ridiculous staffs, insane budgets in massive studios and everything else. | ||
| And clearly we're testing things out. | ||
| Little Nintendo and this and that, and we ran upstairs for something and everything else. | ||
| And we can make all these things better. | ||
| And that actually can be the thing that frees us beyond just the political part, right? | ||
| There's the personal part, there's the political part. | ||
| I think there's a media component to it. | ||
| There's a lot of buckets that we can really start reorganizing and fixing. | ||
| I think tonight is showing a lot of good signs that we can get to the other side of all of that. | ||
| I'm getting a thumbs up. | ||
| I believe we have Alex Stein on the line. | ||
| Alex Stein, are you on the line? | ||
| Yes, I am, Dave. | ||
| What a crazy night. | ||
| We're in the belly of the beast. | ||
| We're in D.C. I got my White Guys for Harris hat. | ||
| And we just got kicked out of the Kamala rally because they saw that we were with Glenn Beck. | ||
| And I was telling women how happy I was to get an abortion. | ||
| But it's crazy out here, Dave. | ||
| Honestly, everybody is so libtarded in D.C. And I know that they voted. | ||
| 93% for Joe Biden. | ||
| But I'm just going to be candid when I say this. | ||
| All the black people at the rally, very pretty cool. | ||
| Most of them pretty cool, hip. | ||
| But the white people look like freaks. | ||
| I mean, they either were transgender or they were like, you know, I mean, dude, just very weird. | ||
| All the white people look weird. | ||
| The black people look pretty cool. | ||
| The white people, I was like, I do not want them to babysit my kids. | ||
| I wouldn't want them to be around my food service. | ||
| The type of people that would spit in your food is the white people that go to the And this coming from you, a white dude for Harris, I mean, it clearly has some heft. | ||
| I mean, you're not just wearing the hat for humor purposes. | ||
| And Dave, everybody loves this damn hat. | ||
| My producer, Brandon. | ||
| Come here, Brandon. | ||
| Come and share this shirt. | ||
| Brandon, Brandon, Brandon. | ||
| We're with the famous Dave Ruben. | ||
| Dave, this is my producer, Brandon. | ||
| How you doing, Brandon? | ||
| How you doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's up, Dave? | |
| And everybody's been, how many people have asked you for a selfie with this shirt? | ||
| Like 10 at least. | ||
| I mean, that thing, I'm telling you guys, hang on to that shirt and those hats because it will become, it's so ridiculous. | ||
| It's so profoundly ridiculous. | ||
| It will become a major, it's going to be like the, when people wanted Garbage Pail Kids in 1986 and you could only get, you know, certain ones, you know? | ||
| And you know the hat is racist. | ||
| When they make everything about race, and I know we already know this, but it's like this hat is inherently racist. | ||
| White dudes for hair. | ||
| It's all about colors, white, brown. | ||
| This whole party here in D.C., this is the thing. | ||
| I'm not a genius, but I talk to these people. | ||
| They're just so brainwashed. | ||
| They really think Kamala Harris is talented or that she can fix this country. | ||
| But if you ask them, hey, what's one thing that she's done good for this country? | ||
| They literally don't know. | ||
| They don't have- Do you get anybody? | ||
| So you go out there, you talk to these people all the time. | ||
| Every event you go to, you get kicked out of. | ||
| You have an unbelievable track record of all of these things. | ||
| But do you ever get the reverse of that? | ||
| Do you ever get someone that you ask them the question and they actually have a genuine answer? | ||
| I mean, I really mean that authentically. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| No. | ||
| And I go speak at a lot of colleges because at Turning Point USA is such a great organization. | ||
| And I get sometimes, you know, the people that want to antagonize me. | ||
| But if you ask them, it's like, you know, is illegal immigration an issue? | ||
| Is, you know, this an issue? | ||
| Most people actually know that Kamala Harris stinks at her job. | ||
| They just defend her blindly. | ||
| It's like your favorite sports team. | ||
| Even though I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan and we stink, I still defend them. | ||
| So I think that's what it is. | ||
| It's just like they're just brainwashed. | ||
| But these people are... | ||
| They're just, they're not really paying attention, Dave. | ||
| That's the thing is you and I are paying attention. | ||
| We know what's going on. | ||
| Most of the people I talk to on the street, if I asked them who is Pete Buttigieg, nobody would know. | ||
| Nine out of 10 people that I talked to on the street wouldn't know who the transportation secretary is, you know? | ||
| So these people aren't dialed in and it's very easy to be brainwashed when you have no idea. | ||
| But Dave, let me say this. | ||
| Sorry, I'm taking over the street. | ||
| Well, Alec, wait, sorry, but real quick, you know, your producer who's still behind you, it's starting to feel a little creepy to me, sort of like a white dude for Harris thing. | ||
| It is creepy. | ||
| I'm afraid it's a creep. | ||
| Get out of here. | ||
| He was looking at me. | ||
| He was over my shoulder. | ||
| No, he was acting like a white dude for Harris. | ||
| They're always in the back, kind of leering at you, a little weird, too close. | ||
| He was. | ||
| But Dave, I want to say this. | ||
| One event I didn't get kicked out of, I was recently at Kamala's rally in Houston, and I just didn't get kicked out because of the Secret Service. | ||
| I mean, they were up my button around the corner. | ||
| They were on me, so I just didn't want to do anything. | ||
| But when I saw these families, these Houston families that could never afford to go to a Beyonce Knowles concert and were so excited. | ||
| I mean, I'm talking about young children with their single mothers. | ||
| And you could just tell that this was going to be some special evening. | ||
| Even if Beyonce would have done one song. | ||
| If she would have done one song. | ||
| These kids, the kids that were there to see Beyonce would have been so happy. | ||
| She didn't even talk for four minutes. | ||
| She did three minutes, walked off stage, and I've never seen so many dejected people. | ||
| But I just don't know if that actually is going to translate to, you know, votes, losing votes. | ||
| But I've just never been to a concert where it was so high. | ||
| When I say concert, I guess rally, excuse me, and then so low. | ||
| So I don't know. | ||
| Is Trump going to win? | ||
| We're at 90 percent. | ||
| New York Times is reporting 90 percent. | ||
| Is that true, Dave? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, that's what I saw literally right before we brought you on. | ||
| Look, I'm feeling very good about it. | ||
| Everyone's feeling exactly the same way, Alex, right now, which is that everything is trending in our direction right now, but we all know what happened four years ago tonight, so I think everyone's just kind of, I'm going to be in this seat for a lot of hours tonight, and you're going to be wearing that hat until the cows come home. | ||
| Well, we're going to the White House next. | ||
| We had to go get some batteries, and now we're going to the White House. | ||
| And that's what they say all the pro-Palestine protesters are. | ||
| There's only about five outside of Kamala's thing. | ||
| So we're going straight. | ||
| When I say belly of the beast, I mean it. | ||
| Belly of the beast. | ||
| They're yelling at Joe Biden right now about genocide, apparently. | ||
| That's what they told us. | ||
| They're trying to wake him up. | ||
| Alex, you do so many funny videos, but which was the video you did maybe six months ago at one of the protests where someone's getting in your face? | ||
| I literally cannot remember if it was a boy or a girl or a half-boy, half-girl or half-unicorn, whatever, but they're really getting in your face, and you sort of just kind of lightly touch them, and they go flailing. | ||
| Which one was that? | ||
| That was it. | ||
| And I was at a Drag Queen Story Hour. | ||
| I was there with Sarah Gonzalez. | ||
| But they had people with guns there, Dave, protecting Drag Queen Story Hour. | ||
| And this is in Denton, Texas, which is kind of a... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Liberalish place, I would say, but this is insane. | |
| They were doing drag queen story time at a damn bookstore and they had all those Antifa outside of it, but that shows you, that's why these Antifa aren't that scary, because it only takes a push and they fall down. | ||
| You barely pushed him. | ||
| You just kind of put your arm out and he or she, was it a guy or a girl? | ||
| I don't even remember. | ||
| It was a guy. | ||
| But he was very weak, and he had that flag. | ||
| He just didn't expect it. | ||
| I didn't even really give him that much force, but his momentum, and I'm big, Dave. | ||
| We've never met in person, but I'm 6'3", 250 pounds. | ||
| So I'm just saying, even my little push, little elbow will knock down a guy that's probably immune deficient or who knows what issues he has. | ||
| But I know that he's probably on a lot of SSRIs and that's probably affecting his strength. - Yeah, you start getting weak in the legs with that stuff. | ||
| Before I let you go have fun with the Hamas people, and please do send us video, we'll gladly show it. | ||
| When you go to these things, you talk to these people, I get it, they don't know what they're talking about, but what would you say is the most consistent argument they make? | ||
| Is it just he's Hitler and I'm voting against it? | ||
| You know, honestly, there's tons of anti-Trump rhetoric, but what blows my mind the most, and this is where I really saw it was recently at that Kamala rally, Is they literally say that Donald Trump wants to control women's vaginas. | ||
| Like, there's multiple people saying, Donald Trump, get your hands out of my vagina. | ||
| They brainwash these people into thinking they can't even get an abortion. | ||
| You can go to a state and get an abortion. | ||
| Abortion's not illegal in every state. | ||
| So these people, they create a narrative that Donald Trump is literally going to stop you. | ||
| And that was my one complaint with Donald. | ||
| And I get it because he gets hated by the conservatives for not being pro-life enough. | ||
| But he probably should have – because that issue is so important to women. | ||
| These women want to kill their baby. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| They just want to do it. | ||
| You know, maybe – I don't know. | ||
| His messaging should have been, hey, you can still get one, just not in certain states. | ||
| I don't know if that helps him, but I think considering abortion – and that's all they talk about. | ||
| I want Donald Trump's hands off my vagina. | ||
| I just – maybe he could have appeased him a little more with that. | ||
| But it's a very tough line to walk. | ||
| It's interesting that they say, I want Donald Trump's hands out of my vagina, because he's known for having small hands. | ||
| I guess that's how he could get two in there, where an average person probably could only get one. | ||
| That's probably the part that's freaking people out, I guess. | ||
| Well, nice talking to you, Alex. | ||
| Nice talking to you, Dave. | ||
| Don't show this clip to President Trump. | ||
| We're toast. | ||
| He has the biggest hands in the world. | ||
| Donald Trump has the biggest hands. | ||
| No, he has huge hands. | ||
| He has the biggest hands in the world. | ||
| And listen, I love Donald. | ||
| I hope he wins. | ||
| I'm not even trying to criticize his campaign. | ||
| And I'm just saying, you know, I talk to these people. | ||
| They don't care about inflation. | ||
| They don't care about illegal immigrants killing people like Alexis Dungarey. | ||
| Her daughter Jocelyn was murdered. | ||
| Laken Riley was murdered. | ||
| Multiple people murdered by illegal immigrants. | ||
| And they'll tell you, oh, we need immigration. | ||
| Who's going to cut your lawn? | ||
| These people are dumb. | ||
| And abortion is the thing that they get so riled up about. | ||
| So we'll see what happens. | ||
| It's looking good, but you were right. | ||
| Last time I was partying too, this time last year and it became very sad. | ||
| So no party yet. | ||
| However, however, I will tell you that it is now official. | ||
| North Carolina has been called for Trump. | ||
| So we are now at 231.79. | ||
| So things are looking good. | ||
| Pipes bursting not withstanding. | ||
| Good luck with Hamas. | ||
| First thing I'm doing is filling up my gas tank. | ||
| I want that cheap gas back, baby. | ||
| I can't wait. | ||
| All right, talk to you guys later. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See you, man. | |
| All right, we're gonna bring Sage Steele back, I think, in any moment now. | ||
| She's back at the convention center, and we had to cut a little bit short there because we had to jump on with Megyn Kelly, but we'll try to get Sage throughout the evening, and particularly if we start getting close to getting what looks like an actual summation of the evening with a call that Donald Trump is president, it'll be great if we can have Sage on the line At that point. | ||
| Pennsylvania now has 77% in. | ||
| So, I mean, they still are tallying some votes and Trump's ahead a little bit from what I understand. | ||
| So yeah, there's the map updated right now. | ||
| It's 2.30 to Trump 179 to the blue thing, the blue blob thing. | ||
| Is Sage calling? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How are we doing? | |
| All right, Sage is gonna call in just a second. | ||
| Any other bits of weird stuff happening on mainstream media at the moment that we need to know about? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me grab that for you, but why don't you talk about this real quick. | |
| The New York Times is calling Pennsylvania. | ||
| What? | ||
| Oh, well that's interesting. | ||
| We just got this, that New York Times right now, New York Times, all the news that's fit to make up is saying that Pennsylvania is leaning Republican. | ||
| That seems like an odd thing for them to say in light of that it was already teased out that it maybe wouldn't happen tonight. | ||
| So what's the point? | ||
| I'm saying that unless again, it's just to get us all excited and happy. | ||
| I think we have Ms. | ||
| Steele back on. | ||
| Sage, I think we got you back. | ||
| Hi. | ||
| How are you? | ||
| Thought I'd take on a little tour of the convention center upper level here. | ||
| I don't know if you can see behind me. | ||
| I see a big map. | ||
| I see lots of people. | ||
| I see some red hats. | ||
| A lot of happy people. | ||
| Happy, positive people here in the convention center, yes. | ||
| I feel like we're gonna be here a while. | ||
| And they pulled out the coffee, so that's a good thing. | ||
| Has it gotten a little more confidently happy? | ||
| I don't know if you just saw it. | ||
| Well, you must have just saw it, but North Carolina, I guess, was officially called. | ||
| So, I mean, we're getting close, but yeah, we still have the same feeling. | ||
| There was a loud cheer when they called North Carolina. | ||
| Of course, Ohio as well, too. | ||
| Very loud cheer. | ||
| And some of the friends I've made in the campaign over the last couple of months, there's a lot that the smiles are bigger and they don't look quite as reserved, if that makes sense. | ||
| Yeah, there's a really, really, really good feeling here, Dave. | ||
| So the thing that I was asking you right before we jumped off was sort of about some of the insider stuff that you saw over the course of the last six weeks, you know, not just the policy, but you've been so on the inside of this thing, and you started to, and then I had to jump. | ||
| Yeah, it's... | ||
| I think we're talking about what I learned the most, right? | ||
| Just the overall attitude of the people, the campaign, and Trump's... | ||
| He truly is a machine. | ||
| I can't... | ||
| I'll never forget last night and leaving Grand Rapids, Michigan. | ||
| The way he left that stage, a little bit extra dancing, you know? | ||
| And then he gathered everybody in the back. | ||
| You know, all the people on his team and his family, of course, his kids are there. | ||
| I just was so thankful and grateful to everyone for what they had done. | ||
| My son's trying to chime in. | ||
| I'm going to tell him, go to voicemail, babe. | ||
| Don't ignore me right now. | ||
| Oh, now I know you really like me because you always take the calls from the kids. | ||
| I always take the calls, but this is an important night for our country. | ||
| I sense a lot of gratitude from him towards his staff. | ||
| And then we got on the plane and like I said earlier, it was quite a festive atmosphere, but Yeah, cautious optimism. | ||
| This is, you know, less than 24 hours ago, just because everybody understands what can happen. | ||
| There is, of course, distrust of the system. | ||
| Election integrity is a constant conversation within this campaign, and for good reason. | ||
| So there was certainly talk of that last night, but in the meantime... | ||
| You know, you can only talk about it so much because at some point you know what you can and can't control. | ||
| And Donald Trump then pulled out the iPad and began his DJing skills, which I've been on the plane for two separate trips, like four or five legs with him. | ||
| And it's pretty much the same playlist every time. | ||
| You can go from Sinead O'Connor to Elvis and it's a blast. | ||
| So it's not just YMCA on repeat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| He might actually have staffers, like, if that were the case. | ||
| But there's also, I mean, he's really big into the music videos. | ||
| So when he says, hey, take a look at this, y'all take a look at that. | ||
| I mean, it's really, it's a fun environment despite the seriousness of it and the stress. | ||
| And I really respect that because that's strategic to make sure that his team remains light despite what's, you know, at stake here. | ||
| Have you had a chance to sort of think about how your story in the last two years is so connected to what seems to be the Trump momentum? | ||
| You know, coming out of the mainstream thing with ESPN, the COVID nonsense, the BLM stuff, fighting for what you believe in, going independent, doing what you're doing now. | ||
| All of these things seem very obviously connected to why people are attracted to Trump. | ||
| But I guess you're so on the inside, maybe you just haven't had a moment to really think about it yet. | ||
| I have, though, which has been really cool. | ||
| I think a few years ago I might have been, you know, just too tired or nervous because, yeah, my career is still evolving for sure. | ||
| But Dave, I was very present over the last couple of weeks. | ||
| They must have called. | ||
| Okay, this is the reaction to officially, I guess, on these channels, North Carolina being called. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So a lot of cheers back here, as you can see. | |
| A lot of happy people were starting from USA chants as well. | ||
| I think I, just like everybody else, we know what's at stake here. | ||
| We know that this is historic. | ||
| So from a selfish perspective, I've really tried to smell the roses and be very present when I was able to moderate that town hall with Donald Trump and the week before that with J.D. Vance. | ||
| That's certainly things that journalists do. | ||
| I never dreamt that I would be able to do something like that. | ||
| Certainly if I were still at ESPN, that would never have been allowed to happen. | ||
| But I think it's just, it's an honor. | ||
| And I will say there's so many people here who have come up to me and told me their stories. | ||
| A New York City public school teacher who got fired because he wouldn't take the vaccine and he had tears in his eyes. | ||
| And then I did too, because you know me. | ||
| But there's so many people with similar stories of risks that they have taken to stand up for what they believe in. | ||
| And it's been quite costly for a lot of people. | ||
| I personally didn't realize that there were so many like-minded people. | ||
| So this has been super healthy for me. | ||
| I just feel so grateful because You realize you're not alone. | ||
| When we speak up and talk about what has happened to us, good, bad, or ugly, others realize they're not alone, and that is the beauty of this movement. | ||
| I was at RFK's Maha party earlier tonight as well, and that's what people were talking about. | ||
| No matter what the result tonight, something has changed in this country, and there really is a movement here, a movement certainly towards health of our country, but also the freedom of speech. | ||
| Everyone's You know, everybody freaks out, just like they did at Madison Square Garden last week when the name Elon Musk is brought up. | ||
| People are so grateful that others with massive platforms are saying enough is enough and talking about the importance of what we have to get done tonight. | ||
| So really, really an honor to be a very small part of it. | ||
| Let me ask you one other thing, and then we'll jump off with you. | ||
| And then hopefully as the night continues, if you still don't mind talking into that little microphone, we'll have you back as many times as you're willing to jump back on. | ||
| But this is really for the people at Media Matters and the organizations that watch my show very intently trying to take anything I say out of context. | ||
| You are there right now at what we're told would be a celebration of white supremacy. | ||
| Are you in any sort of trouble? | ||
| Do you need to blink... | ||
| Do we have to send the team for you? | ||
| Is everything okay? | ||
| I'm kind of off in a corner now because I wasn't sure what to experience. | ||
| My bulletproof vest is on. | ||
| You never know. | ||
| I got to meet a lot of the Secret Service people the last few weeks, so I feel very protected. | ||
| They have my back. | ||
| There are so many different people here. | ||
| I mean, just like it has been at the rallies, right? | ||
| Muslim, Black, so many of the, frankly, the African American population who I've connected with via social media, saying, hey girl, I'm out there too. | ||
| There's so many people, I mean, of all different religions and backgrounds and cultures. | ||
| So go ahead for the mainstream media. | ||
| Go ahead and try to continue that narrative. | ||
| It's all BS. And I think... | ||
| I'm proof. | ||
| You're proof. | ||
| So many people are proof. | ||
| I'll also say this. | ||
| Danica Patrick and I spent a lot of time together on the road over the last couple of days. | ||
| And Danica is another great example of someone who, through sports, as a NASCAR and IndyCar driver for all those years, she was like, I don't have time to think about this stuff. | ||
| Apolitical, yeah. | ||
| And over the last... | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| This is the first time she's ever voted, ever. | ||
| And over the last year or so, when she simply went to a Turning Point event, And Phoenix, because she loves America and got hate and threats from it, as we all have received, she's like, what is this? | ||
| So when you have a Danica pastor come out like that, when you have an Elon Musk, when you have RFK Jr., when you have Tulsi Gabbard, who we've been on the road with specifically on the ground in North Carolina the last couple days with hurricane victims, these people who have a lot to risk by not just coming out in Danica's case, but making a change like RFK and Tulsi, the courage that that takes To me is tremendous. | ||
| And it's such a diverse party. | ||
| There is so much joy and acceptance and tolerance. | ||
| So I would love to talk to all those people. | ||
| Give them my number, Dave. | ||
| I would like to have a word with them. | ||
| I will send out several texts on your behalf momentarily. | ||
| All right, make sure your phone is charged because if we can get on with you, if this thing keeps going in the direction we hope, I think we get a resolution tonight. | ||
| It would be pretty awesome if we were on with you when we officially hear. | ||
| I'll be here and I have been told, of course, Donald Trump will be here. | ||
| It might be 2 a.m., but he's coming. | ||
| So I'll text you guys and let you know if that's ending. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Thanks, Sage. | ||
| Stay tuned for more. | ||
| Do we have any updates or should we jump right into Viva right now? | ||
| Yeah, quick, all right, so the quick update in essence is we're at 230 for Trump, 187 for the blue blob. | ||
| Obviously you need 270 to win. | ||
| The Senate right now is 49-40 in the Republican favor, but that's obviously gonna change as the night goes on. | ||
| And the House is 165 to 110. | ||
| You need 218 for control, so we'll see where that lands. | ||
| The Senate though is looking pretty good at the moment. | ||
| Do we have Yvonne? | ||
| We don't have Viva on, so we'll have Viva on momentarily. | ||
| Then we have Dennis Prager coming up in about 10 or 12 minutes, and Josh Hammer will be joining us. | ||
| Ben Shapiro will be joining us just after midnight, and we clearly are not done yet. | ||
| I feel like I should be eating some sushi on camera. | ||
| Can I have one piece of sushi that people can see? | ||
| We plowed through all the Tri-Tip hours ago. | ||
| I've been sitting here for 18 hours. | ||
| Look at this, I'm being delivered. | ||
| Sushi, gonna have just one little tuna avocado. | ||
| You know, this is, you don't see this on CNN. You don't see Rachel Maddow eating raw fish on CNN, you know what I'm saying? | ||
| Did you get the joke? | ||
| Did anyone get the joke? | ||
| You got Viva? | ||
| All right, let's bring on Viva Frye. | ||
| Viva, I'm eating sushi on air. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| Are we live right now? | ||
| We're live on the internet. | ||
| I made a joke. | ||
| I didn't know if you knew that you were live when you were making the jokes that you were making. | ||
| Bada bing, bada boom. | ||
| You got it. | ||
| About the sushi and the... | ||
| It was, yes, it was a la the microphone, what they were suggesting Trump was doing with the microphone. | ||
| A one and a half second gif. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How are you, my friend? | ||
| Viva Fry, everyone knows Viva Fry, great legal mind, a man from Canada who now spends part of the year in Florida because of the tyrannical government of Canada and the pure love and joy of freedom and fishing and chasing alligators with his children. | ||
| Where are you right now, I guess I should add? | ||
| I'm in Boca. | ||
| Dave, I've been spending the better part of the last three years here, and by the looks of things, I might not get deported anytime soon. | ||
| If the numbers, as they look like they're going to hold up, in fact hold up, this is a sigh of relief, but until they declare it, until I hear her cackling Kamara concede and give the concession speech, I'll be cautiously optimistic. | ||
| So within the last hour, every time I'm reading the numbers now, I'm barely saying her name anymore. | ||
| I'm just kind of saying the blue blob, because it's become clear that she was just the avatar for this thing. | ||
| She was the avatar for the machine. | ||
| She was the DEI choice in the first place. | ||
| She was hand-selected when they booted Biden. | ||
| Do you think that's a fair estimation? | ||
| I mean, she doesn't really represent anything other than the thing. | ||
| The question is this, as to whether or not she was selected or whether or not she outmaneuvered the Obama camp and stabbed Joe Biden in the back. | ||
| Well, I think she definitely stabbed Joe in the back. | ||
| The question was, was it with the Obama people, right? | ||
| I don't think it was with the Obama people because, you know, Obama taking four or five days before formally endorsing her. | ||
| And remember, it was that phone call that she had. | ||
| And she's talking on the phone, although she's putting it to her ear for some reason. | ||
| While it's on speakerphone. | ||
| I think she might have outmaneuvered with the help of Willie Brown, like, politically outmaneuvered Obama, because I don't think they wanted her. | ||
| And, you know, Barnes had been saying forever, like, they're not going to pull Biden because nobody is more popular than Biden. | ||
| And he was wrong on that they were not going to pull Biden, but right on the fact that there was nobody more popular or less unpopular to replace Joe Biden with. | ||
| And they did it, or at least she outmaneuvered, got it. | ||
| And yeah, the blob. | ||
| She's a... | ||
| Have you seen the movie A Scanner Darkly? | ||
| I have seen it. | ||
| Philip K. Dick, I read the book and saw the movie. | ||
| I think it was a short story. | ||
| I've never read the book, nor did I know that it was actually a book before the movie. | ||
| I'm joking, I did know that, but I didn't read the book. | ||
| But no, she's like Johnny, whatever, Johnny every day. | ||
| We realized that they could run a non-existent human. | ||
| They could run an AI-generated caricature. | ||
| And Democrats would be duped into voting for it because they listen to MSM, they listen to the propaganda, and it doesn't matter what it is so long as it's not orange Hitler. | ||
| No, but we've seen it in real life. | ||
| It's actually mildly depressing, but mildly encouraging that it doesn't pay off at the end because at the end of the day, the more she spoke within the last couple of weeks, the more she became detested the way she should be detested. | ||
| Well, my friend, we have breaking video right now. | ||
| This is from Kamala Harris HQ and apparently it's descended into eerie silence. | ||
| Yeah, Jake, let me just give you a gut check here about what we are hearing here as we've been sitting here reporting from the Harris headquarters. | ||
| And I think the operative word right now is silence. | ||
| There's not a lot being said because the Harris team appears to be searching for bright spots in the map as these results very, very slowly come in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Searching for bright spots and also very aware of the warning signs throughout the electorate in Virginia, in Iowa, in other places. | |
| I am told that Milwaukee and Detroit and Philadelphia That is what the Harris campaign tonight is holding out hope for more votes to come in. | ||
| They have always said the blue wall was the most straightforward path. | ||
| Now it may be the best, not only at all, because Georgia is also something that is developing tonight. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I still hear from Harris aides that they feel good about Georgia, but it is very, very close. | ||
| It's a gut check, Viva. | ||
| A gut check. | ||
| And it's eerie silence. | ||
| And uh-oh. | ||
| If I'm reading into this, you appreciate what CNN is doing. | ||
| They're laying the groundwork for Kamala not even being able to try to steal what's left of this. | ||
| The writing is on the wall for everybody, and it's undeniable. | ||
| As of a matter of days ago, CNN was basically saying... | ||
| The writing's on the wall. | ||
| The numbers aren't working out for us. | ||
| The early voting is not working out for us. | ||
| And Republicans outperformed Democrats on Election Day itself. | ||
| And now they're basically saying, don't even try to come up with some nonsense excuse to try to contest this. | ||
| It's done. | ||
| But we're not there yet. | ||
| They're holding out for Philly. | ||
| They're holding out for Milwaukee. | ||
| They're holding out for the most corrupt blue blips in red states to see if there's something they can try to finagle scoundrel out of this. | ||
| They're not going to be able to. | ||
| The bottom line, the signs have been in from Miami, Dave. | ||
| I didn't check recently. | ||
| Did Miami go full red, or was it just a double-digit swing for Republicans? | ||
| No. | ||
| Well, first off, Miami went red in the last, in the gubernatorial election for the first time in God knows how long, but it went plus 11, I think, tonight. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| And, you know, setting aside California, which will always go the way it goes, because that's what happens when you descend into one-party state rule, that says something for all of the Latina vote in between, you know, in the middle of America. | ||
| And it's wild. | ||
| Dave, do you know how many Haitians live in Florida? | ||
| I know there's about 30 to 40,000 in Ohio somewhere. | ||
| So when that whole thing went down in Ohio, everyone's like, Viva, you idiot. | ||
| There's actually upwards of a population of 500,000 Haitians in Florida. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| They didn't all vote against Donald Trump. | ||
| Possibly because not everybody hates Donald Trump as much as the media hates Donald Trump. | ||
| And even the people who Trump allegedly defames, besmirches, whatever, they might actually be a little bit more in tune with reality than the media. | ||
| So Miami going a plus 11, it's wild. | ||
| Florida going what it went is wild. | ||
| The East Coast, Kamala got her states. | ||
| But there's a differential that, yeah, people hate Kamala Harris even more That they hated or did not love Joe Biden. | ||
| And congrats, you got what you wished for. | ||
| But I will still hold my breath until she concedes and until I officially declare it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We're all holding our breath still. | ||
| But I think you make an interesting point that over the last couple of days, everything has been trending in the right direction up until literally the moment we're speaking right now. | ||
| There hasn't been this crazy surprise. | ||
| There hasn't been this crazy break. | ||
| And you mentioned the Latino voters. | ||
| Let me show you this from Fox from a few minutes ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is in Democrats' nature to be anxious, and we are certainly at peak anxiousness. | |
| I think the conversation that you were having in the last panel about the Latino vote is really interesting. | ||
| Some of these numbers are a little bit jaw-dropping. | ||
| 45% for Donald Trump in some states. | ||
| And that is going to cause a real reckoning within the party on how we talk about message to and integrate a huge part of our base, typically, in all of this. | ||
| I would say, though, that... | ||
| The campaign and people that I've been speaking to said nothing has been called. | ||
| Our paths to 270 have not been blocked off. | ||
| And as we continue to get more voting, and I should add to the numbers that they messaged you, Detroit is coming in. | ||
| And Detroit had a very good day with in-person voting today. | ||
| And the suburbs of Atlanta. | ||
| Outperforming where Biden was there. | ||
| One point of concern is that she's not doing as well in the rural areas as Biden did. | ||
| And that's something that they're paying attention to. | ||
| Aviva, I've only got another minute because we've got Dennis Prager on the other side, but right there, I mean, that's a Fox show, but clearly an analyst who's, let's say, sympathetic to the Democrats. | ||
| I mean, the right, it feels like the writing's on the wall. | ||
| She's not sympathetic to the Democrats. | ||
| She's half braindead. | ||
| I've seen her enough to know that she's basically braindead. | ||
| I was trying to be nice. | ||
| It's almost midnight. | ||
| I've been on air for six hours. | ||
| I was trying to be nice to somebody for a second, you know? | ||
| No, no, I love it. | ||
| They're like, oh yeah, but we've got our most corrupt of the big blue dots or small blue dots in big red states. | ||
| Oh, we can hold our breath for that. | ||
| Maybe we can still pull something out of our butts. | ||
| No, the bottom line is the writing is on the wall. | ||
| 45% of Latinos voting. | ||
| Congratulations, you've reaped what you've sowed by taking advantage of the demographics you took for granted and then shoving them aside when it was time to cater to another minority for the purposes of your pandering. | ||
| They've neglected everyone they promised to represent, and indeed the day of reckoning has come. | ||
| Hopefully. | ||
| Touch wood. | ||
| Viva, I know you could not vote in this election as you are not a citizen yet. | ||
| I always told you from day one I would be willing to write some sort of letter, which I think in this state actually could help you. | ||
| It probably wouldn't help you get into America. | ||
| It might help you some way in Florida, but I nonetheless will call you Florida man. | ||
| So Florida man, good to see you. | ||
| Thank you very much for having me, Dave. | ||
| My pleasure. | ||
| All right, so we're going to jump over to Dennis Prager in just a sec. | ||
| Do we have Dennis? | ||
| Should we? | ||
| Yeah, we'll have Dennis in about a minute from now. | ||
| So the numbers, so nothing else has changed in this last little bit, as far as I can tell, right? | ||
| So we're still at the 2.30 for Trump. | ||
| Now, according to the New York Times, Arizona leading Republican, which again, these are all signals to the system. | ||
| It gets to that point that Viva just brought up. | ||
| Like, nothing weird has happened so far. | ||
| It doesn't mean anything weird isn't going to happen for the remainder of the evening, but we're getting good signals, right? | ||
| We had a weird signal with the Obama thing hours ago, right? | ||
| And then there was the CBS report. | ||
| That doesn't mean anything nefarious is happening in Pennsylvania just because we won't have the results tonight. | ||
| But getting a signal out of the New York Times saying that Arizona and what was the other state? | ||
| They're saying all of them. | ||
| Wow, so according to the New York Times, all of the remaining swing states now are leaning Republican. | ||
| So like, why are they putting that signal out unless there's something to be said for that signal? | ||
| And I think we're kind of seeing that. | ||
| All right, we've got the great Dennis Prager on the line. | ||
| Dennis, my friend. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, so- Hello, how are you? | |
| Yes, so what does how are you mean? | ||
| How am I at this moment? | ||
| How am I in general? | ||
| I don't see you as much as usual. | ||
| How's life? | ||
| How's Sue? | ||
| How's, you know? | ||
| How are my dogs? | ||
| I understand. | ||
| How are my kids? | ||
| Look, we've been burned, and so I'm not ready to... | ||
| I did say to the Daily Wire people where I'm talking to you from, I did say to them that if Trump wins, I will do something I haven't done in decades, and that is have whiskey. | ||
| All right! | ||
| I love tobacco. | ||
| I can't stand alcohol. | ||
| But I will definitely have a drink if it happens. | ||
| Look, I'll tell you what will be among the many interesting things if this develops as it seems to be developing. | ||
| And by the way, even more amazing, perhaps even the popular vote for Trump. | ||
| If this happens, the analyses will be as interesting as the actual election, and I'll offer you one immediately. | ||
| What the Democrats did to their electoral chances is what that young woman did to Bud Light. | ||
| Oh no, that really, that is what is happening. | ||
| They really believe, the people on the left believe there is nothing that is too far for the American people. | ||
| They will tolerate anything the left imposes on them, including taking five-year-olds to drag queen story hours on behalf of the school. | ||
| And teaching them that America was founded, not in 1776, but in 1619, in order to bring slaves to the country. | ||
| I don't know if they'll learn a damn thing, to be honest, although Bud Light did learn a lot. | ||
| But there is apparently a limit to which even the left can go. | ||
| So, of course, saying that is to the backdrop of we don't know and a pipe could still burst and everything else, but everything is leaning in our direction. | ||
| But let me ask you something about I think what you've focused on probably more than anyone else that I know in public life, which is you always say that you hate evil more than anything else, which sort of sounds broad, and it's like, can you really define what that is? | ||
| But it seems to me, for the last decade, we have been living in a fairly evil time, that lies have been just allowed to be spewed and amplified and everything else, that all of the people who have been good have been told we're bad, the bad people have been told we're good. | ||
| If this works out tonight the way that it feels like it might, do you think this is a seminal moment for goodness to actually repel evil? | ||
| It's seminal, but the battle against evil is never won permanently. | ||
| It's the human condition. | ||
| As I've come to say, I have a suspicion that God lives Groundhog Day every generation. | ||
| And I, you know, it's not a cute line. | ||
| I really mean that. | ||
| So the big picture is that if it turns out the way it looks at will, America has definitely sort of saved itself because the left destroys everything it touches. | ||
| That's the understanding of life that I have and because it's accurate. | ||
| And they're rarely stopped. | ||
| And they may have been stopped tonight. | ||
| That's what's seminal. | ||
| How do you feel about... | ||
| Go on. | ||
| Well, I'm curious because you've always, as long as I've known you, even when I was on the left before I did the Why I Left the Left video and all that, you always have made the distinction between leftists and liberals. | ||
| For you to see this new liberal crew now ally with Trump, so the RFKs, the Tulses, me, the Elons, all of these new people, How do you feel about that as someone that actually is a true conservative? | ||
| Can the thing hold? | ||
| It must be exciting to some extent in terms of winning, but is it something that you think is strong enough to hold? | ||
| Oh, I think it will hold, but the issue is numbers. | ||
| You're giving me exceptional individuals like RFK Jr. | ||
| and Tulsi Gabbard and so on. | ||
| The average liberal, look, to take the example that I heard just tonight here at the Daily Wire, the Jewish vote in New York State for Trump was 43%. | ||
| That's the assumption. | ||
| So that means that 57% of New York State Jews Still voted for the left, not for a liberal. | ||
| There's nothing liberal about Kamala Harris or Tim Walz. | ||
| You can't get more radical than them without joining the Communist Party. | ||
| So if Jews are typical liberals, and most are liberals, not left, most Jews don't believe that girls should have their breasts removed if they say they're boys. | ||
| But what they do is they ignore that or they dismiss it as, well, look, there are kooks on both sides. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Sorry? | ||
| No, exactly. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| Yes, that's what they do. | ||
| So I don't know when liberals will awaken to the horror of the left. | ||
| It may never happen. | ||
| It didn't happen tonight. | ||
| It may have happened to just enough to determine the election. | ||
| That would be a very big deal. | ||
| What the left is going to have to rethink, though, is its identity politics doesn't seem to be working. | ||
| There's still an element of blacks who will say whites hate us. | ||
| I don't think most blacks believe that. | ||
| The daily intercourse between races in America Is as close to perfect as the human species can get. | ||
| Basically, nobody gives a damn if you're black. | ||
| Nobody gives a damn if you're white. | ||
| End of issue. | ||
| Nobody gives a damn if you're a Jew. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| With all the increase in antisemitism, and I have a third edition of my book on antisemitism, and I'm a religious Jew, but I'm telling you, by and large, it's a non-issue. | ||
| It's just a non-issue. | ||
| Except with the base of the Democrat Party for the reasons that you just laid out. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, Dennis, I've got a little bit of good news from here breaking right now. | ||
| So Republicans just did flip the Ohio Senate seat. | ||
| So that is good. | ||
| It looks like Bernie Moreno won there. | ||
| So that's good. | ||
| So Republicans now lead in the Senate. | ||
| Oh, he's already given an acceptance speech. | ||
| All right, well, we're just catching up right here. | ||
| And then listen to this, Phoenix, can you jump ahead to this New York Times piece? | ||
| This just came out from Nate Cohn, who's chief political analyst at the Liberals' favorite paper, New York Times. | ||
| He said, there's still a lot of vote left in Milwaukee, Detroit, and Philadelphia, but for Harris to win, she would need to outperform Biden's numbers there in 2020. | ||
| And so far, she's underperforming Biden's results just about everywhere in the country. | ||
| So that really shows you we might be pretty damn close now. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That's a very good answer. | ||
| By the way, I got a riddle for you. | ||
| You ready? | ||
| All right. | ||
| If Donald Trump is the happiest man in America right now, who do you think is the second happiest? | ||
| You'll love this. | ||
| Present company notwithstanding, I'm pretty happy. | ||
| Who would be the second happiest? | ||
| The second happiest man? | ||
| As soon as I say it to you, you'll go, oh, of course. | ||
| If you didn't say man in a weird way, I might say Kamala Harris because I think she would have realized she was over her head. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's Joe Biden. | ||
| I mean, what do you think happened there in this last couple of weeks with him? | ||
| He clearly did not want her to be president. | ||
| I don't think he has any love lost for Trump, but he was not happy with the way they took him out. | ||
| Why would he be? | ||
| But he earned it. | ||
| The fact that the man did not voluntarily step down shows what a scummy human being he is. | ||
| I mean, by the way, that's not the only thing that shows it. | ||
| I would not say that word if he didn't have a long list. | ||
| The man gives his inaugural address was the most hate-filled inaugural address in American presidential history. | ||
| It was hate-filled. | ||
| Well, as I'm sure you know, his initial campaign ad when he announced he was running for president was based on the very fine people hoax in Charlottesville. | ||
| Which continues to be said. | ||
| Continued. | ||
| He continued. | ||
| And she says, and Barack Obama says, because lying does not disturb their conscience. | ||
| They have a different conscience than you do. | ||
| Dennis, my final question for you, and then we will let you go as this night ain't going anywhere anytime soon, although it's slowly creeping our way. | ||
| My final question for you, I've asked this to a couple people tonight, some version of this. | ||
| I asked it to Dr. | ||
| Drew. | ||
| I asked it to Jordan Peterson from sort of psychological perspective, but maybe from a religious perspective or a philosophical perspective. | ||
| Our obsession with politics, we all love it. | ||
| You and I love it. | ||
| We have dinners, we talk about this stuff for hours, and then we love a whole bunch of other stuff. | ||
| You love classical music, I love basketball, whatever it might be. | ||
| Do you think if Trump wins here that the country might be able to reset to a degree that we can stop obsessing over this thing, which ultimately may not be that healthy for us? | ||
| It will only increase because that's all the left lives for. | ||
| You live for other things. | ||
| You have a family. | ||
| You have basketball, as you said. | ||
| You have hobbies. | ||
| You have passions. | ||
| So do I. You love politics more than I do. | ||
| And you have other things aside from it. | ||
| But people have to understand, for the left, having abandoned country, God, and religion All they have is politics. | ||
| Their life has no meaning without politics. | ||
| If I told you, you could not read about politics for the next year because the country would be fine in any event, you would be fine. | ||
| I would be delirious, but they would be dead. | ||
| Their lives, the people who write at the New York Times, they would have no life. | ||
| This is their life. | ||
| Their life is white supremacy, fighting white supremacy and global warming. | ||
| That is their life. | ||
| It is not an interest. | ||
| It's their life. | ||
| And your interests include classical music. | ||
| What's your favorite piece? | ||
| I have two favorite pieces, Handel's Messiah and Bach's Goldberg Variations. | ||
| I wish we could play you out to that, but we definitely get kicked off YouTube. | ||
| So, you know, we've got to finish here. | ||
| Dennis, my best to Sue. | ||
| We will continue this in real life off these crazy wires soon. | ||
| Love to your family. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Thanks, Dennis. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So right now, guys, New York Times prediction, 90% likely Trump will win, 301 to 237 Trump. | ||
| That's where we're at right now. | ||
| The popular vote is plus 1.1%. | ||
| Oh, no, I'm sorry. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Obviously, that's not where we're at right now. | ||
| That's their prediction. | ||
| And the popular vote is plus 1.1% to Trump at the moment. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Yeah, we have a couple videos we can jump over to and then we've got Ben Shapiro coming up in a little bit and Josh Hammer from Newsweek and a couple other people. | ||
| Here is something from MSNBC where apparently they're starting to realize that they might be the racists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The electorate, right? | |
| The assumption would be demographic change favors Democrats. | ||
| If it's becoming a browner state, there's a bigger Latino population. | ||
| And we know from Palo Ramos is amazing reporting on the ground in Texas. | ||
| Just because someone is brown, just because someone's Latino does not necessarily make them an accolade of a Democratic Party. | ||
| My God. - Dude. | ||
| Did MSNBC just become self-aware? | ||
| What just happened over there? | ||
| Did they just realize just in that moment it took all of it to happen tonight? | ||
| And suddenly they were like, my God, just because someone is a certain skin color, they might not think exactly the way we want to. | ||
| Could somebody call somebody? | ||
| Somebody get on the horn and tell them we're the racists. | ||
| It could all be... | ||
| I'm starting to crack. | ||
| It could all be happening tonight. | ||
| Not only could Trump become president, MSNBC, they'd all realize they're racists. | ||
| What would we need to close up shop on everything tonight? | ||
| Yeah, all right, I'm just throwing to it. | ||
| I don't even know what it is. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|

|
The remaining hope is that Nebraska sends an independent senator to the Senate who would then vote for the Democrats in organizing the Senate, which would get them to 50 votes. | |
| But this does now look like the Senate is probably gonna be in Republican control. | ||
| Yeah, well, apparently, I'm watching this on the fly with you guys, it does look like the Senate will be in Republican control. | ||
| Do we have a map on that? | ||
| So, yeah, this is projected right now? | ||
| Is that projected? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The states that are red, there have been one, and then there's two states on there that will go red, which is Montana and Nebraska. | |
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it's going to be 52 to 48. | |
| Right. | ||
| So it looks like the Senate will be 52 to 48. | ||
| So that would be Republican control of the Senate. | ||
| We're getting some updates on the House and obviously things looking good for Trump. | ||
| I just still, I think we're still all in the same, we're all in the same boat. | ||
| We're all in the same boat. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We have Josh Hammer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| We've got Josh Hammer from Newsweek. | ||
| Josh Hammer from Newsweek, another Florida man. | ||
| How are you, my friend? | ||
| Dave, I'm enjoying the spectacle much as I assume that you are as well, my good friend. | ||
| Look at the smile over there on Josh Hammer. | ||
| It's not just because your wife is pregnant and you're going to be a dad soon. | ||
| It's because something good might be brewing. | ||
| Am I right? | ||
| Something good is brewing. | ||
| I also just get a smile on my face every time I see you, Dave Rubin. | ||
| It's always just a delight, but especially on an evening like this. | ||
| Look, I mean, this is basically the best case scenario, what we're looking at right now. | ||
| I mean, 52 to 48 in the Senate, by the way, I think that's like the most conservative estimate possible. | ||
| I think you could easily see a scenario where Mike Rogers wins in Michigan, Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania, Eric Hovde over in Wisconsin, maybe even Sam Brown in Nevada. | ||
| I mean, you could be looking at I don't want to get ahead of my skis here, but you could potentially be looking at 55 to 56 Republican senators, which would be the largest majority of Republicans in the Senate in almost 100 years, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
| So I don't want to get too far ahead there. | ||
| But if this starts to start trending in the same direction that it's been trending in for the past few hours, this is going to be one for the history books. | ||
| But right now, like you and so many others, Dave, I'm just paying attention to those Rust Belt battleground states, Donald Trump, Kamala Harris there. | ||
| The rumors, just before I hopped on with you, the rumors are that Kamala Harris' team is now apparently privately confiding to Democratic Party officials that they do not see a path to victory. | ||
| Apparently, the campaign spokespeople are no longer taking questions from the media. | ||
| People are filing out of the campaign watch party in Washington, D.C. You know, it's probably like a funeral parlor there at this hour, if I had to imagine there. | ||
| Look, I don't put anything past these people. | ||
| I mean, you know, look, it's midnight here on the East Coast. | ||
| I'm going to have to go to sleep, I suppose, at some point. | ||
| Four years ago, Donald Trump was winning at a similar juncture. | ||
| I was a little drunk, to be honest with you. | ||
| I passed out on the couch. | ||
| I woke up at like 4 or 5 a.m. | ||
| I saw a ballot drop. | ||
| It happened here in Milwaukee, Detroit. | ||
| I was like, what the heck is going on in my foggy, kind of semi-drunken state? | ||
| I don't want the same thing to happen again. | ||
| But as of right now, Dave, it's looking pretty good. | ||
| Well, it seems to me that there's not much juice in the system to show us anything counter to that. | ||
| A few hours ago, there seemed to be some confusion around Pennsylvania, but everything right now, Phoenix just gave me some info. | ||
| I mean, basically, New York Times is now saying every one of the remaining states is leaning Republican. | ||
| Yeah, no, that's exactly right. | ||
| At this point, if Kamala Harris wins, it would essentially be the equivalent In poker terms of pulling an inside straight on the last card. | ||
| I mean, she's facing a very, very bad situation, which really more people should have seen coming. | ||
| I mean, not the to my own horn, but I mean, last week I publicly said I think Trump's going to win all seven swing states. | ||
| That's three into 12 electoral college votes. | ||
| I'm not sure why more people were not saying this. | ||
| I mean, yes, it's Donald Trump. | ||
| Yes, you know, people have the Trump derangement syndrome, TDS and all that there. | ||
| But, you know, fundamental politics still matters to an extent, where you have a right track, wrong track dichotomy, where, like, between 30 and 40 percent at the most, sometimes even less than that, sometimes even 26, 27, 28 percent of Americans say that America's on the right track. | ||
| You're probably going to lose an election. | ||
| I mean, at some point, Politics 101 just has to take over, and it just makes no sense. | ||
| You know, cognitive dissonance only goes so far. | ||
| America is not ultimately going to send that same party back into power. | ||
| That has just been catastrophically destroying us and all the issues that the people tell pollsters they care about. | ||
| So it just doesn't make sense. | ||
| It's all looking pretty good. | ||
| Pennsylvania, Donald Trump is way outperforming his metrics in certain parts of the state. | ||
| The vote in Philadelphia is really not coming through what Kamala Harris needed. | ||
| I saw one data point speaking in Pennsylvania, actually. | ||
| So where Penn State University is and State College, that's one of the bluest counties in the state, apparently Donald Trump's actually outright winning there right now. | ||
| You know, Ryan Gerdusky, I saw, tweeted also about Zapata County, Texas, the most Hispanic country in the United States of America, a 97% Hispanic county. | ||
| Donald Trump won by 16 points. | ||
| I mean, these are just incredible statistics that we're starting to see happen here, Dave. | ||
| And fundamentally, the conclusion that I reach, which I think we've been hanging towards for a few years now, is this is the end of the road for the 2008 Barack Obama intersectional coalition, this whole intersectional coalition of aggrieved interests. | ||
| I think this is it. | ||
| I think this is the night that it actually dies, Dave. | ||
| God, if it dies tonight, we could get America back. | ||
| We really could. | ||
| Even if Trump doesn't do half the things that we think he could do, it's like if that thing just dies and we can move past the evils of intersectionality and these horrific DEI-based policies, if that alone would be worth it. | ||
| Phoenix, could you just jump back to those Pennsylvania numbers I just saw? | ||
| Because in Pennsylvania right now, 84% is in. | ||
| That's a pretty big chunk. | ||
| It may not include all of Philly, which obviously is a huge population center. | ||
| But he's up 51% to 48%, which is about... | ||
| What is that? | ||
| That's about 450,000 votes. | ||
| That would be pretty tricky to make up. | ||
| Oh, and I'm being told right now, let's see, New York Times is calling... | ||
| New York Times is now calling Pennsylvania likely Republican. | ||
| So we're close, man. | ||
| I guess you weren't that crazy when you were sending me those text messages earlier in the week. | ||
| I'm sorry about all those things I said about you. | ||
| If Pennsylvania actually goes to Trump, I mean, that's essentially game over. | ||
| I mean, Kamala Harris, what does she have to do at that point? | ||
| She has to win Arizona and Nevada. | ||
| I'm actually still not sure if the math actually works out even at that point. | ||
| But, I mean, Pennsylvania has been ballgamed the whole time. | ||
| Way back in March, I hesitate to toot my own horn on the Rubin Report, but I guess I will just do it just real briefly here. | ||
| So way back in March, after Donald Trump got the nomination, Dave, you and I were both strong supporters of Ron DeSantis in the primary, but Donald Trump gets the nomination. | ||
| And looking at the situation back in March, it was pretty evident to me even back then that the path to this White House runs through the Rust Belt. | ||
| Through Pennsylvania, through Michigan, Wisconsin. | ||
| And back then, I said that this campaign strategy needs to double, triple, quadruple down there. | ||
| One possible way of doing that would be to select J.D. Vance, the guy who wrote Hillbilly Elegy as his running mate there. | ||
| And sure enough, it's basically gone according to plan. | ||
| But part of it is Donald Trump. | ||
| He does have a unique appeal there when it comes to his trade immigration policies and all that there. | ||
| But part of it is just the utter catastrophe that has been Democratic Party policy for the past four years. | ||
| I mean, Kamala Harris having to pull a 180-degree turn when it comes to electric vehicle mandates for Michigan for the auto industry there when it comes to China and the lithium batteries and EV, when it comes to fracking and natural gas there in Pennsylvania. | ||
| I mean, they just put themselves in a horrible, horrible position for listening to these You know, blue-anon left-wing Twitterati lunatics on social media as opposed to the actual sentiments of the American people. | ||
| The Democratic Party does not have a wake-up call after the schlacking, the schlonging, I guess you might say, that they are getting tonight. | ||
| But I'm not sure what it will take. | ||
| How wacky do you think they'll get over the next couple months if this does all pan out, especially if it pans out tonight? | ||
| I mean, you know, we know what the base is ready to do. | ||
| The fact that there haven't been massive Hamas rallies over the last couple weeks is a signal to me that they can control when they come out. | ||
| And they didn't want them coming out for the two weeks before the election because it would have looked bad for the Dems. | ||
| So I think you're probably going to see a BLM, Antifa, George Floyd riot style thing happen. | ||
| I'm not sure it's going to be the same scale as that, but at least to a lesser extent in cities like Washington, D.C., Chicago, L.A., San Francisco, you're almost assuredly going to see that. | ||
| Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not Thursday, but at some point over the next week, you're almost assuredly going to see that. | ||
| I've already seen some photos in D.C. of people boarding up their businesses. | ||
| That's happening, and that's happening probably sooner rather than later. | ||
| Especially kind of putting on my legal hat, is what stunts are Democrats going to try to pull when it comes to the very things that they were condemning four years ago in 2020, when it comes to sending alternative slates of electors to the vice president to try to certify the votes, when it comes to January 6 itself there, when it comes to just not trying to certify the election. | ||
| I mean, I guess four years ago, you were a radical insurrectionist who should go to jail for treason. | ||
| You're a fascist, Putin lover, whatever. | ||
| And I guess now it's your patriotic duty. | ||
| I mean, it's funny how that works. | ||
| So that is very much kind of what I am kind of attuned to over these next few days. | ||
| I want to kind of really hone in on where the conversation on MSNBC and so forth, where it's actually headed, because I think that that is really exactly where this conversation is going. | ||
| I hope that Republicans know that that's where this is going and that they are prepared to try to stop it because the Democrats, as you and I both know, Dave, are going to stop it. | ||
| Absolutely nothing whatsoever. | ||
| Even at this last, last dying gasp, these dying gasps of air, they're going to try their darndest to try to prevent him from taking the White House come January 2025. | ||
| So Phoenix has got a photo queued up for us. | ||
| I said that even if Trump doesn't do half the things he says, the implication being if he just defeats the woke, that's enough. | ||
| But I think Phoenix has got something that might be an interesting... | ||
| Ah, the point being he's going to do it all because he's got these people and that this is now what people are voting for. | ||
| You're voting for Elon to cut the $2 trillion with the Department of Government and Efficiency. | ||
| You're voting for RFK to go into the CDC and the NIH. You're voting for Tulsi, whatever she might do. | ||
| Department of Defense, maybe DeSantis doing something, A.G., who knows? | ||
| That photo apparently was taken one hour ago, so I'm seeing it a little bit in a bit of a distance. | ||
| Was that Dana White was also there? | ||
| That was Dana White and Elon and a couple other people. | ||
| Josh, before I let you go, I have to bring on this Ben Shapiro fellow. | ||
| Have you ever heard of him? | ||
| Never heard of him. | ||
| Who is he? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He's a young upstart. | ||
| They say he's got something. | ||
| He lives... | ||
| Something Jewish, I don't know, something, something. | ||
| All right, talk to me about Florida for a second, because you made it to Florida before me. | ||
| You're very embedded in the Florida political system. | ||
| Obviously, Florida was gonna go red, but it's gone even deeper red than most people thought. | ||
| The two amendments, there were several amendments, but the two big ones, three on marijuana, recreational marijuana, did not pass, four on changing. | ||
| The heartbeat bill did not pass. | ||
| I take it you're feeling quite good about what's going on here in the free state. | ||
| Dave, incredible stuff. | ||
| You know, first of all, I got to Florida, I think, only three and a half, four months ahead of you. | ||
| So I wasn't that far ahead of you. | ||
| Well, I like to give credit words to you. | ||
| But I guess for the rest of my life, Dave, as long as you and I both stay here, I can say that I got to the free state just a few months ahead of that guy, Dave Rubin, out in Los Angeles. | ||
| But look, I mean, our state is obviously in a tremendously good place right now. | ||
| I mean, if there was any doubt whatsoever as to whether the 2022 midterms that saw DeSantis win by 19 and a half points, Rubio win by 16 plus points— If there was any doubt as to whether or not that was something of a fluke and a one-off, those doubts have now been completely eradicated in the minds of anyone watching these results come in. | ||
| I mean from a pro-life perspective, just the defeat of Amendment 4 is a tremendous victory. | ||
| This is the first time the pro-life side has actually won one of these ballot box referenda since the Dobbs decision two and a half years ago. | ||
| That is a huge deal unto itself. | ||
| But DeSantis and Rubio both won Miami-Dade County by double digits two years ago in 2022. | ||
| Donald Trump now winning it by double digits as well here. | ||
| This is a real shift. | ||
| I mean, I think the number I saw was that Hispanics overall over the past four years from when Trump only won it by about 3.7 points or so four years ago, from then until now, I think Hispanics shifted 30 points in the Republican direction overall here. | ||
| I mean, we live in a ruby red state. | ||
| I can't believe it. | ||
| I mean, I kind of came a political age, you know, years ago thinking of Florida as like the swing state, Bush versus Gore and everything. | ||
| And here we are and it is a bright red, ruby red state. | ||
| We are living in strange times, my friend, but I'm happy to be living through it all with you. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| Let me give you a couple of updated numbers before we let you go. | ||
| So in all of the remaining swing states, so Pennsylvania trumps up by about 207,000 votes with 83% in. | ||
| Michigan, 105,000 votes with 44% in. | ||
| So that's still on the low side. | ||
| Wisconsin, 80,000 votes with 74% in. | ||
| And Georgia, 118 with 93% in. | ||
| So Georgia's looking pretty good particularly. | ||
| So what time do you go to bed? | ||
| I guess that's the real question at this point. | ||
| When do we all just say, okay, we're good. | ||
| I mean, I'm not going to bed. | ||
| This is it. | ||
| We're in it. | ||
| We're in it. | ||
| Yeah, I think at some point over the next hour and a half, if I had to put a time on it, at some point over the next hour and a half, we probably will have the major network start to call this thing for Donald Trump. | ||
| The way this is trending. | ||
| Now, I would not be shocked. | ||
| I mean, here's me putting on my cynic hat again. | ||
| If there is kind of deliberate obfuscation and they deliberately decide not to call it in those three battleground states in the Great Lakes region in particular, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, that's where it starts to get dicey because I really, really do not want to repeat a 2020 where we kind of pause the counting and then the 4 a.m. battleground. | ||
| ballot dumps come in. | ||
| I don't think that's going to happen because I actually think that the margins there in those states is going to be, as Donald Trump would call it, too big to rig. | ||
| So I actually don't see that happening. | ||
| I do think it's more likely that we are going to have a winner announced at this point before we go to sleep. | ||
| But it's going to be at least another hour, hour and a half or so, probably at a bare minimum to be honest with you. | ||
| Josh Hammer, my friend, I will see you. | ||
| Oh, I'll see you on Thursday with some other Floridians. | ||
| We will eat some food and do some other stuff. | ||
| Looking forward to it, Dave. | ||
| All right, see you, my man. | ||
| All right, guys, so we've got Ben Shapiro in about seven or eight minutes or so. | ||
| So in the meantime... | ||
| I don't think there's any numbers to update on. | ||
| Where's Kalshi at right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kalshi's at... | |
| Gotta be at what, 96, 97%? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We got two videos coming up in 60 seconds. | |
| All right, we got two videos coming, but Kalshi right now is at 93% saying Donald Trump will win. | ||
| These are the bettors, these are the people that are throwing money down. | ||
| 93% to Trump, only 7% to Kamala. | ||
| I'd love to find, if we can find video of the Kamala Party, where they're calling it a party. | ||
| At what point is a party not a party? | ||
| I'd love to see some updates. | ||
| Oh, we have some updated video on that. | ||
| We'll get to that. | ||
| I think we have video CNN, where they seemingly are coming around to Trump presidency number two. | ||
| Generally speaking, he is overperforming what he did in 2020, and she is underperforming what Joe Biden did in 2020, and that ends up what was a narrow edge for Biden, is at this point, we have to condition it, a narrow defeat for Harris. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the thing about North Carolina, and John has been talking about this and will do more, at the wall is you do have kind of a sense of the country in the state of North Carolina in that there are growing minority populations and there is a growing sort of suburban, maybe more moderate population in and around the big cities. | |
| And so that is why the Harris campaign thought With the dynamics of the country right now, that she would have a better shot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But look, the headwinds of the economy, the inflation that people are feeling, the difficulty in everyday... | |
| their everyday lives... | ||
| Yeah, she could not outrun that Biden economy. | ||
| Yeah, and the economy, Chris, that is what people are feeling every single day. | ||
| I mean, we were talking earlier about whether or not the sort of women and the idea of this being the first post-Roe presidential campaign was going to supersede how people felt when they were buying eggs and milk. | ||
| And certainly North Carolina and other places that we are seeing start to formulate in these other states, the answer is... | ||
| I have to say, guys, watching those videos, it's like, I can't imagine how anyone right now that pays attention to any of this could watch any program where the hosts and analysts don't say what they actually think. | ||
| Dana Besh, say you're a Democrat, and here's where we're at, right? | ||
| Like, you're obviously a Democrat. | ||
| You're depressed right now. | ||
| You're a Democrat. | ||
| Chris Wallace, you're obviously a Democrat at this point. | ||
| Whoever else was on all of these things, like on every CNN show, you're all Democrats. | ||
| On MSNBC, it's tacitly said that we're Democrats, just like on Fox News, it's implied, obviously, that they're virtually all Republicans. | ||
| But that's why CNN, everyone's always the most frustrated with them, because it's like, we know what you are, but you won't say what you are. | ||
| Like, you would not be that depressed if the numbers were flipped right now. | ||
| So where are we at? | ||
| Let's jump over to the televised mental institution known as MSNBC because my favorite over there, Joy Reid, she's not happy with white women. | ||
| It's a state that I think Democrats definitely were reaching for. | ||
| There was a lot of work to try to turn out the college campuses, which were really thick and really packed, and try to turn out the suburbs. | ||
| And I think there was a lot of hope because of just the insanity, can we say fairly, of the person who's running for governor in that state and the thought that You know, defeating him would also carry Harris in. | ||
| But in the end, you know, if they didn't make their numbers and essentially exceed the numbers that Joe Biden had in the suburbs, and I think we have to be blunt about why. | ||
| Black voters came through for Kamala Harris. | ||
| White women voters did not. | ||
| That is what it appears happened in that state, is that if you can't flip enough white women, and we've talked about this on this set numerous times, is that you have a state where you've got a six-week abortion or a 12-week abortion. | ||
| I think theirs might be 12 weeks. | ||
| But it's a state where women lost their reproductive rights, where there was a very heavy push to get women to focus on not putting in place, you know, re-electing, putting back into the White House the person who was responsible for taking those rights away and restoring them. | ||
| But that message obviously was not enough to get enough white women to vote for Vice President Harris, a fellow woman. | ||
| This will be the second Opportunity that white women in this country have to change the way that they interact with the patriarchy. | ||
| And, you know, God bless Shannon Watts, who has tried to have that conversation. | ||
| But if people aren't receptive to it and if people vote more, you know, party line or more on race than on gender and on protecting their gender, there's really not much more that you can do but tell people what the risks are and leave it to them to do the right thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And kids and not murdering babies. | |
| And no, they should have just set aside their thoughts on baby murder so that they could have installed the first black. | ||
| And it's still unclear to me whether Kamala Harris is black. | ||
| Was she Indian? | ||
| It doesn't even matter. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| She celebrated Kwanzaa. | ||
| She's a fraud. | ||
| She didn't celebrate Kwanzaa. | ||
| She said she celebrated Kwanzaa. | ||
| Everything about her is a fraud. | ||
| Back at Kamala HQ, people are starting to leave. | ||
| this is in D.C. and it's a depressing scene. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Makes sense. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| All right, so that's Kamal H.U. They are filing out whether they be Hamas supporters, intersectional lunatics, people without their proper genitals, blue-haired crazy people, whatever. | ||
| It does seem like they are seeing the signs and they are not hanging around. | ||
| For a concession speech that may or may not happen, I think we might have Mr. | ||
| Benjamin Shapiro. | ||
| We'll have him in just a... | ||
| Yeah, we do have him. | ||
| We do not have him. | ||
| We will have him in just a moment. | ||
| We just connected. | ||
| Give him a second to settle into the chair over there. | ||
| But all right, again, we're still... | ||
| Now we're in this weird part where I don't have to overanalyze everything like they're going to do on most of the shows. | ||
| We are just... | ||
| Sort of in like the dead zone for just a little bit. | ||
| Until we get a little bit more information from these swing states, we knew this is exactly where we were gonna be. | ||
| I'd say it's, well, we didn't know exactly where we were gonna be here. | ||
| Things have trended in the way that I wanted them to go, that hopefully you wanted them to go. | ||
| And now we have a couple of swing states that we need some more information on, but that's basically where we're at at the moment. | ||
| So we're waiting in that sense. | ||
| And we'll have Ben in just a second. | ||
| It's been our, oh no, then we're gonna try to go back to Sage, assuming we get some good news out of Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| We'll see if we can get her back on for a big celebration. | ||
| And we are now six hours and 20 minutes into our coverage of election 2020. | ||
| My thighs are burning. | ||
| There's something wrong with my thighs and my hips are frozen, but I'll be okay. | ||
| Don't worry about me. | ||
| All right, speaking of frozen hips, I've got Ben Shapiro on the line. | ||
| Ben, I haven't moved in six and a half hours. | ||
| God help me. | ||
| You're muted, Ben. | ||
| You're muted. | ||
| Unmute me, people. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| You've been unmuted. | ||
| What's the story? | ||
| How are your hips? | ||
| Can I be heard? | ||
| Yes, you can be heard. | ||
| Okay, so I just want to make sure that you cathed yourself properly. | ||
| I got lower back pain. | ||
| I gotta pee. | ||
| But this is what you do for America. | ||
| And that's just because this night has taken already seven years of our time. | ||
| But it is a very good night, Dave Rubin. | ||
| It is a very, very, very good night for America, for all of us. | ||
| Some of us have worked pretty hard in this election cycle. | ||
| And I think that it has been a long journey, a long road, a lot of stress, a lot of ups and downs. | ||
| But, you know... | ||
| Pretty great. | ||
| I am liking that chyron right there. | ||
| The Jewish Dave Rubin. | ||
| I didn't even see that. | ||
| That's hilarious. | ||
| Well done, Rubin Report. | ||
| They've been all over these chyrons today. | ||
| That was pretty good. | ||
| They're very sad. | ||
| That is very solid. | ||
| That is very solid. | ||
| And I will say that Donald Trump did this without the help, without the help of the white supremacists who abandoned him in this election cycle because there was just too many Jews nearby. | ||
| For Captain Hitler over here, for Orange Hitler and his seven mustaches, President Trump sure has built together a rather racially interesting coalition of giant Hispanic support, outsized Black support, outsized Jewish support. | ||
| I mean, wow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bad job, Hitler. | |
| Sorry, Hitler! | ||
| Shapiro, you have described yourself to me publicly and privately as a pessimist, and yet here I am at this 12.21 a.m., the day after we started this election day, and it's not over, obviously, and we know that hijinks can happen, and yet you seem oddly... | ||
| You are by far the happiest person I've spoke to. | ||
| Everyone's been happy but cautiously optimistic or something. | ||
| You seem... | ||
| This is as happy as I've ever seen you. | ||
| I'm calling it. | ||
| It's cooked. | ||
| Go home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ben Shapiro makes the call at 1222 a.m. | |
| We're all just waiting until the time when they're going to call it, and that ain't going to happen tonight. | ||
| So you can go to bed happy. | ||
| You know, the reality is that when the Kamala Harris headquarters is going silent, when Nate Cohen at The New York Times is saying she doesn't have the votes anywhere, that she needs the votes, that she's underperforming Biden pretty much everywhere, there are no good indicators on the horizon. | ||
| In 2020, there is always the, oh, well, you know, Milwaukee's about to come in. | ||
| Or Billy's about to come in. | ||
| And tonight, it's just like, well, it's already coming in and it ain't coming in at the rates that they need it to come in at. | ||
| And she's underperformed in North Carolina, in Georgia. | ||
| She's underperforming pretty much everywhere. | ||
| The Republicans are overperforming pretty much everywhere. | ||
| This is the red wave that was promised in 2022 but never arrived. | ||
| And there are a bunch of reasons for that. | ||
| I mean, the most obvious of which is that Donald Trump wasn't on the ballot in 2022, which, as it turns out, is a pretty good way to get those marginal, low-propensity voters out to vote. | ||
| The other thing is that Republicans made the It's a signal decision not to raid the mental asylum for a set of Senate candidates, which as it turns out is also a good decision. | ||
| When you run a bunch of people who actually are credible human beings, shock of shocks, it turns out you do better. | ||
| But the big story of this election campaign, I understand that it's Trump. | ||
| Of course, it's Trump. | ||
| Trump is the man of the era. | ||
| He is the man for the time. | ||
| I said a little bit earlier on our broadcast that people are constantly looking for, like, the biblical Trump comparisons. | ||
| They go to King David. | ||
| The actual one they should be looking at is Noah. | ||
| It says about Noah in the Bible that he was a good man in his time. | ||
| President Trump was made for this time. | ||
| He was just made for this time. | ||
| And I have been saying privately—I think, Dave, I've said it to you—God wants Trump to win. | ||
| I mean, from the moment that Donald Trump turned his head and the bullet flew right by it within this far— God wanted Trump to win. | ||
| As a religious person, I actually do believe that. | ||
| I'm not even being facetious. | ||
| I think that is just the case. | ||
| With that said, the big story of this election campaign is that Democrats are awful at this. | ||
| Awful at this. | ||
| Kamala Harris somehow underperformed a dead person. | ||
| The happiest person in America tonight is not me, Dave. | ||
| The happiest person in America is a man named Joe Biden. | ||
| Somewhere at the White House right now, Joe Biden is having the best night of his fucking life. | ||
| He is just enjoying himself beyond all possible measure. | ||
| He is there. | ||
| He is just like, you know what? | ||
| That lady who stabbed me in the back, it could have been me. | ||
| I didn't even have to run against Trump. | ||
| He would have gotten clocked by Trump. | ||
| But now he can claim for the rest of his life, all seven days of it, he can claim that he would have beaten Trump if he'd been on the ballot. | ||
| And then he was ousted by the horrible machine. | ||
| And he told them all along that she was a bad candidate. | ||
| And he will dine on that until the day he dies. | ||
| May he live long and prosper. | ||
| And I'm just happy for Joe tonight. | ||
| That's the thing I want to think about. | ||
| I've never seen you like this. | ||
| This is late night, working blue. | ||
| Ben Shapiro, you're the first person I've heard call the election. | ||
| You're dropping F-bombs. | ||
| Your mustache seems a little thicker than usual. | ||
| There's a lot going on over there. | ||
| The testosterone is flowing. | ||
| It's late at night. | ||
| I've not even been drinking. | ||
| It's just that as a very clean living father of four, at about 8.30 at night, I start to get real tired. | ||
| And it's getting real late. | ||
| And I gotta tell you, You know, this failing to call states just because, oh my god, there might be likes and battles, it's horseshit, okay? | ||
| Donald Trump is gonna win the election. | ||
| He had wrapped up the election probably half an hour ago. | ||
| When the New York Times is saying that there's a high probability he wins all three swing states, you're not talking about like, Is there going to be, like, you know, is it one of them? | ||
| Is she winning in the other two? | ||
| She's winning in Michigan and Wisconsin, but maybe she's going to lose Pennsylvania? | ||
| When it's like she's trailing solidly at this point. | ||
| She's down like 100, last time I checked, like 160,000 votes in Pennsylvania with 84% of the vote in. | ||
| In Michigan, the exit polls are insane. | ||
| The Michigan exit poll has Donald Trump beating her with Hispanics by 25 points, 60 to 35, with Hispanic voters in Michigan. | ||
| If I said that to you before today, like as a joke, You wouldn't believe me. | ||
| You would not believe me. | ||
| It turns out that Tony Hinchcliffe is apparently the greatest Hispanic outreach director in the history of political campaigns if these numbers hold. | ||
| I mean, this is total insanity. | ||
| And it turns out that, you know what, politics have consequences. | ||
| If you pursue a series of the worst policies of my lifetime, bar none, people really, really hate it. | ||
| They really hate it. | ||
| They don't care if you swap out the person who is dead for a new person who is part of that same administration. | ||
| They just don't want that. | ||
| They don't want that. | ||
| And they're willing to go back to the guy who everyone calls crazy and hilarion so long as he gives them the things that they want. | ||
| I'm proud of the American people tonight. | ||
| I'm really proud of them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know what? | ||
| The American people basically decided to put aside all of the trash, all the garbage that people are talking about, all the stupid nonsense, you know, the whatever excesses Trump has. | ||
| And you know what they went with? | ||
| They went with who can fix the toilet. | ||
| Donald Trump can fix the toilet. | ||
| This person threw a cherry bomb in the toilet. | ||
| Donald Trump can fix the toilet. | ||
| It's that simple. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| If we thought about policy that way, we'd be a lot better off. | ||
| Does it also feel like to you that, assuming this now all go, let's just go on, I'm on the Shapiro crazy train here, it's over, okay, fine. | ||
| But does it also feel like that the other piece of this is that now the thing that you and I have been part of and this alt media versus the mainstream media pretending, these people on CNN pretending that they don't have an opinion on anything And all of the over-analysis and the cover-up of the lies and that Obama's doing very fine people two days ago and no one talks about it on CNN, that that is the other thing that maybe even needed to be destroyed more than the Democrat Party itself. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I mean, it's part of the same apparatus. | ||
| I mean, I've called it the Democrat media human centipede, because that's effectively what it is. | ||
| The Democrats crap something out, it's ingested by the media, then crapped out upon the American public, not to be too graphic. | ||
| But that is precisely what the media are. | ||
| They are the apparatchiks of the Democratic Party. | ||
| And in this election cycle, every narrative they trotted out, Utterly failed. | ||
| All of them. | ||
| First there was the Joe Biden is well narrative. | ||
| Done. | ||
| Then there was the Kamala Harris is brat narrative. | ||
| Totally done. | ||
| Then there was the Donald Trump is orange Hitler. | ||
| Totally done. | ||
| Then there was the Donald Trump wants to kill Liz Cheney or some such nonsense. | ||
| Totally done. | ||
| Every narrative they tried to plant out there was a fail because it turns out that when the American public, by polling data, Trust you less than they trust Congress. | ||
| That is the latest data. | ||
| That you don't have that kind of sway. | ||
| And you know what podcasts like yours or mine or Joe's do? | ||
| What those do is they expose these candidates to the light of day in an authentic manner. | ||
| I mean, I had President Trump on the podcast like two and a half weeks ago. | ||
| It's not the same thing as Joe, right? | ||
| Joe has a way bigger audience than any of us, and he had him on for like three hours. | ||
| But Donald Trump is an authentic human. | ||
| Kamala Harris is not an authentic human. | ||
| And that means that you get a good picture of who these people are because it's very difficult to act for full-on three hours when you're just having a conversation with somebody. | ||
| And so, you know, the alternative media has flexed muscle in a way here that is so... | ||
| Encouraging. | ||
| Truly amazingly encouraging. | ||
| And, you know, I hope we keep it up. | ||
| I hope we do. | ||
| I got nothing better to do, do you? | ||
| No, I mean, now I'm in a great mood. | ||
| I can go all night, baby! | ||
| Oh yeah! | ||
| Let me just ask you one or two more things. | ||
| So, okay. | ||
| So again, we're on the train now. | ||
| It's all happening. | ||
| What do you think the system does over the course of the next few months? | ||
| Because we still have, you know, three plus months of a quote unquote Biden presidency. | ||
| I mean, did they 25th Amendment him and she just decides to jump in so she could be president for two months? | ||
| Oh, that's funny. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| You see what they're putting under my name? | ||
| Oh, you people are hilarious. | ||
| You people are having too much fun with your chyrons tonight, Dave. | ||
| Everybody's in a good mood. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So what are we gonna do? | ||
| I mean, Joe Biden's gonna try and do his worst. | ||
| You know, I think that he will, you know, in foreign policy, he'll probably cut his role off at the knees, just like Barack Obama did on his way out. | ||
| It'll be his sort of revenge tour. | ||
| He's gonna try and sign a bunch of executive orders that Donald Trump will then promptly undo. | ||
| They're gonna try and stack up the executive branch with career bureaucrats. | ||
| In the hope that those people will sue to prevent Donald Trump from firing them. | ||
| Now's the time to get those permanent employees in there. | ||
| There's been talk about this for a year and a half. | ||
| The Democrats were basically going to stack the permanent side of government with all their allies, so that even if Republicans took over, then they still wouldn't be able to achieve their agenda. | ||
| I don't think they're gonna get away with it. | ||
| I think that Trump goes in, eyes open this time, knowing that there are tons of people who are inside the executive branch who oppose him, and he is going to unleash the power of Do you think there's any chance over the next couple of months that Biden actually doesn't go crazy because he'll have realized the crazy energy was with Kamala and that if he wants his legacy to remain intact, | ||
| it's just like kind of go out with nothing zany and just end it and that's it? | ||
| I mean, there is that possibility. | ||
| There is the possibility. | ||
| I think he wants to think of himself as a transformative president. | ||
| He's obviously not getting any legislation done under current circumstances. | ||
| So there is the possibility that he spends the next two months basically going on a salutary kind of goodbye tour in which he says, listen, if I'd been on the ballot, maybe I would have won. | ||
| They ousted me. | ||
| They did me wrong. | ||
| They put in my vice president as the candidate, and she lost. | ||
| But the way you should remember me is as the person who is willing to do anything on behalf of the American people, including stepping out of my own nomination, and here I am, love me. | ||
| I mean, that's all Joe Biden really wants in life, is to be loved. | ||
| And the great irony of politics being that he will leave office as one of the most despised people in American political history. | ||
| But I think that there is that possibility. | ||
| I have a hard time believing that he, like Obama, won't attempt to take a few final bites at that apple. | ||
| It is pretty rare that the New York Times is in agreement with Ben Shapiro, but the New York Times is now saying 92% chance Trump wins. | ||
| Shapiro's already at 100% chance. | ||
| They're predicting 302 to 236 and winning the popular vote by 1.1%. | ||
| What a freaking... | ||
| Night, man. | ||
| What a long, strange journey it's been from the first time you and I met in Glendale, California at Aura TV. I was a bananas lefty. | ||
| You were a little-known podcaster. | ||
| And all these years later, maybe we had a little something to do with saving the republic. | ||
| Not bad, huh? | ||
| Yeah, dude, I gotta say, I've been saying it all night. | ||
| Season 8 of Trump, this season kicked ass. | ||
| I mean, like, this season, I thought the writing was overdone. | ||
| I thought that, like, God had pulled out one too many stops. | ||
| You know, he's like, you know, not just one assassination attempt, two. | ||
| We're not just going to make the opposing candidate, like, die on the stage. | ||
| We'll replace him with this person, and this person won't be able to talk, and then she'll pick a weirdo who flails his arms all weird and has a weird wife and... | ||
| And then we'll make our husband, like, allegedly a person who beats, like, just, it was like really bad writing, just overwrought, you know, too much. | ||
| It was like, see, it was like the last season of Game of Thrones, just really rushed and forced a little bit, but they hit the finale. | ||
| God really hit the finale. | ||
| God just nailed that finale, 10 out of 10, would watch again, downloading for the flight. | ||
| Shapiro, I've never seen you this excited about anything ever, except that one time we spun a dreidel together. | ||
| You were very excited that time, remember that? | ||
| Seventh night of Hanukkah, 2017. | ||
| I don't, but, you know, I may have been drunk. | ||
| I made that up. | ||
| I made that up. | ||
| Wait, are you guys done with your coverage? | ||
| I mean, now that you called it, is the daily wire wrapping it up? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, we have to go back in. | |
| Are you kidding? | ||
| No, don't be silly, Dave Rubin, the gay Ben Shapiro. | ||
| That's the silliest thing I ever heard. | ||
| We gotta go back in there. | ||
| Are you kidding? | ||
| We're on central time, my friend. | ||
| It is only 11.37 where I am right now. | ||
| That means we have at least another 82 hours in us. | ||
| All right, well, yeah, I got to at least do one thing, which is I had Dennis Prager on about a half hour ago, and he said that if Trump wins tonight, he'll have a whiskey. | ||
| The man has not had more than a white glass of wine in like 10 years, so you got to make that happen and see what you can do with Peterson as well. | ||
| Yeah, no, I will get them both incredibly drunk and then watch them talk at length about biblical allegory to one another. | ||
| Sounds like a party. | ||
| All right, thanks, my man. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Catch you later. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Ben Shapiro dropping F-bombs, calling the race. | ||
| All right, so we're almost there, guys. | ||
| Like, we're really almost there. | ||
| Again, Ben's probably right. | ||
| Like, we don't get a concession speech tonight. | ||
| Maybe there's a little bit of a drag out, but everything that we're seeing in these numbers... | ||
| Phineas, just roll with these numbers again for... | ||
| Oh, here we go. | ||
| This is an update that looks like New York Times, right? | ||
| The Harris campaign just shut off the sound on the TVs at her watch party and replaced it with music after a guest on CNN said tonight felt more like 2016 than 2020. | ||
| So, again, I mean, I don't, can we get excited yet? | ||
| Like, I don't know that I can go to Shapiro mode yet. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| Am I more of a, well, I consider myself a world-weary optimist. | ||
| Ben considers himself a pessimist. | ||
| We've got the pessimist taking the optimist approach. | ||
| I just don't put anything past these freak weirdos. | ||
| All right, so Phoenix is throwing some numbers at me here. | ||
| Michigan right now, which obviously is one of the big ones. | ||
| So Michigan, he's got, Trump's got basically a 200,000 vote lead in Michigan right now, which is about 6%. | ||
| That's with 56% reporting. | ||
| But it's really, really hard to make up 6%. | ||
| When already, you've got half the people having voted already. | ||
| I mean, at some point, it just, that was Ben's point. | ||
| At some point, these numbers just stopped working. | ||
| So Arizona, look, the Arizona difference is only about 13,000 votes with 53% in, right? | ||
| So like, right. | ||
| So it's like that clearly anything could happen. | ||
| Pennsylvania's getting to a weird spot here where it looks like he'll get it because with 3% difference, it's about 250,000 votes, something around there. | ||
| That gets tough to make up with only 12% remaining. | ||
| Wisconsin is about a 4% difference with 81%. | ||
| That'll be kind of tricky. | ||
| It's about, what, about 100,000 votes there. | ||
| So at some point you literally, it just becomes basic math and they can't fiddle with it. | ||
| But the fact they've sent people home, right? | ||
| So they've sent people home, they've shut off the TV. We showed people walking out, the TVs have no audio. | ||
| Clearly they're doing the post-mortems at cable news right now. | ||
| The question is how late does the evening go and how crazy are we willing to get with this thing? | ||
| How's everybody doing in here? | ||
| Has anyone gone to the bathroom at any point this evening or is it just me? | ||
| Can we throw to an old, how about a little, what can we throw to so that I can use the facilities for just a moment? | ||
| We're going to, Connor's going to pull up something for you for just a second. | ||
| You got one of my viral videos there? | ||
| The old viral videos? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, we're going to throw to something. | |
| We'll be back in just a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who were on the phone listening to the president talk about this swap of dirt for U.S. military aid. | |
| Chris, so far the evidence is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the complaint that I've heard from Republicans all last week was that you don't have anyone who heard the call. | |
| All right, guys, big day around here. | ||
| I'm about to interview President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| We are doing a sit-down, although it's a slightly different sit-down because he is doing it via the phone, the classic style of interviewing from an undisclosed location. | ||
| But before we start, I want to say one thing, which is that his team made it very clear. | ||
| I can ask him absolutely anything. | ||
| Nothing is off the record. | ||
| Nothing is to be hidden or not to be asked. | ||
| And will I get booted off YouTube for this? | ||
| I suppose we will find out. | ||
| So here we go, my interview with President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| All right, President Donald Trump, welcome to the Rubin Report. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, thank you very much, David. | |
| Great. | ||
| Great to be with you. | ||
| So, President, what are the chances that I don't get kicked off Twitter and YouTube and Facebook just for talking to you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, I think you have about a 10% chance, a good solid 10%. | |
| 10% getting kicked off or 10% staying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| 10% staying on, actually. | ||
| You know, it's crazy. | ||
| This is a crazy world. | ||
| And let's see what all happens. | ||
| I think they're overplaying their hand, but we'll find out about that, Dave. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So do you miss Twitter? | ||
| That seems to be the big question that everyone wants to know. | ||
| That was your thing. | ||
| Do you miss it at all? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So something happened that's I think you've seen, and that's very interesting. | |
| I do press releases like I used to. | ||
| You know, the circle goes round and round, right? | ||
| I do press releases, and it seems that a lot of people are waiting for those press releases. | ||
| And if you look at the, of all places, the New York Times did a story a week ago about the circulation of what I'm saying is essentially as big. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's very big. | |
| And the word is getting out. | ||
| I did a couple of them today. | ||
| I like because I'm not confined as to number of characters, but you know the number of characters, you don't want to keep it too long anyway. | ||
| Okay, that's one thing we all learned maybe from that. | ||
| No, I think we're doing very well. | ||
| With that being said, I'll be on social media in the not-too-distant future. | ||
| We're looking at a lot of options. | ||
| We had hundreds of millions of people. | ||
| You know, if you look at, we had 91 on one site, we had 10 on another, we had 36 on another, we had POTUS. We have a lot of people and a lot of people on Facebook. | ||
| And I hear it's become very boring, to be honest. | ||
| And I hear in particular Twitter has become very, very boring. | ||
| And a lot of conservative voices have gotten off. | ||
| Some have been thrown out and a lot of them have gotten off. | ||
| And I hear Twitter is not doing well and it's lost its voice. | ||
| And when I started there like 11 or 12 years ago, it was not a success. | ||
| I mean, it was not a... | ||
| I don't know who was going to make it, but it was not a success. | ||
| It became very successful. | ||
| And I think you're going to see a lot of people are going to be finding other... | ||
| There's a lot of platforms out there. | ||
| That's what we're looking at, getting the right platform, a perfect platform. | ||
| All right, we're jumping back. | ||
| That was during the first Trump presidency, and it looks like there will be a second Trump presidency. | ||
| So yes, he is in the lead in all of the swing states right now. | ||
| That's where we're at. | ||
| He is in the lead in Montana. | ||
| Well, Montana's not a swing. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Sorry, this is the Senate now that I'm looking at. | ||
| We're doing 20 things here at once. | ||
| Right now the Senate, they have the lead in Montana, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. | ||
| So Senate's looking good. | ||
| I mean, Josh Hammer about an hour ago made an interesting prediction. | ||
| He thought this thing could get to like 54. | ||
| Right now it's 51-42 and definitely looking good for the Republicans. | ||
| So if the Republicans have the Senate, And they have the presidency and we'll see what happens in the House. | ||
| Like some interesting things are cooking. | ||
| New York Times still at 92%. | ||
| Again, we will see if we just get a little more data tonight to just, you know, put that Shapiro quote into the cement. | ||
| We're going to have Sage Steele join us again from the West Palm Beach Convention Center at what time? | ||
| In about five minutes or so. | ||
| So hopefully the energy there is, well, I have no doubt the energy there is absolutely spectacular at the moment. | ||
| But maybe we'll get some live celebrations while we're on. | ||
| Kalshi is now, the betting markets are now 94% for Donald Trump, 6% for Kamala. | ||
| I mean, the thing is... | ||
| Short of them pulling the bananas, wackadoodle stuff, there's nothing left. | ||
| I mean, that was Ben's point. | ||
| At some point, you get to just math, and where can you find the votes, and it doesn't look like it's there. | ||
| Man, I wish I was watching MSNBC right now. | ||
| I know I'm doing this, but just to watch the Depression, it would be pretty spectacular. | ||
| Okay, so we'll get to Sage in a minute or two. | ||
| Phoenix, what else can you throw at me in the meantime? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm trying... | |
| All right, we got something over here we're going to put on in just a second. | ||
| Again, guys, I really do, I know that there's a million things you could be watching and jumping around to and everything else, so we really do appreciate all of you guys staying with us, and we try not to do those interstitials too much so that you're getting everything live. | ||
| I think we've got something coming up. | ||
| And CNN can project that Georgia will go to Donald Trump. | ||
| Georgia, a very highly contested battleground of 16 electoral votes. | ||
| This is the second of seven battleground states that we have called, and both of them have been for Donald Trump. | ||
| Let's take a look at what that means for the electoral mass. | ||
| Donald Trump right now has 246 electoral votes. | ||
| Kamala Harris right now has 182 electoral votes. | ||
| There are 270 needed to win. | ||
| As of right now, CNN is not ready to project who is going to win the presidency. | ||
| All right, it's 2.46. | ||
| I mean, we're getting very, very close. | ||
| You know, in some degree, I feel bad. | ||
| There's a certain amount of people, as happy as we may be right now, there's millions of people in the country that think Hitler's taking over right now. | ||
| And it's so unfair, and it's so unjust, and it's because of such a dereliction of duty by the media that they lied. | ||
| They know. | ||
| Joy Behar knows nobody's coming for her tomorrow. | ||
| Nobody's coming for Sonny Hostin. | ||
| Nobody's coming for Jake Tapper or Rachel Maddow, and that they did this. | ||
| And created such chaos and lied about so many issues and people and made it seem like everyone in America hates everybody. | ||
| It's just so awful. | ||
| But maybe we can get past all of that after this. | ||
| It's going to take some time for sure. | ||
| Phoenix is telling me that my former boss, I guess, over at the Young Turks, Cenk Yeager, he is not doing well tonight. | ||
| Do we have video of that? | ||
| No, I don't need video of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's another rant. | |
| Yeah, Jink, Uyghur, not doing well. | ||
| Oh, and we've got video from the Harris HQ. I'd imagine it's a hell of a party. | ||
| They're probably playing YMCA backwards while listening to Dark Side of the Moon go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're saying are accurate, and she would need to outperform, really turn things around, and what's coming in is not showing that that is likely or possible. | |
| Not likely or possible. | ||
| Again, everything just... | ||
| Listen, Ben was talking to God before. | ||
| God, if you're listening, like, let's give it, let's just get it to the volition here, right? | ||
| Like, let's get to the finish line. | ||
| Let's all wrap it up. | ||
| I'll eat a little bit of sushi, and we'll go home. | ||
| And we're going to pick this up at 11 a.m. | ||
| tomorrow anyway. | ||
| But, all right, we should have sage on in, I think, about two minutes or so. | ||
| This is a good night for America, guys. | ||
| Like, it really is. | ||
| I wish I could feel more positive about it right now. | ||
| Because I just... | ||
| I am a skeptic, I suppose, at heart. | ||
| I am still a skeptic. | ||
| But there's no evidence anywhere across the board that it's not good. | ||
| That's pretty great. | ||
| Let that sink in. | ||
| Oh, that's funny. | ||
| When Elon took over Twitter, he put up a picture, or he walked in with a sink. | ||
| So that's the picture of him walking into Twitter headquarters with the sink. | ||
| And, of course, that is with the Oval Office there. | ||
| Let's see if I can catch anything interesting on the Twitter machine right now. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, a lot of people, I'm just seeing a lot of stuff about CNN giving up depression at MSNBC. This is from Visigrad24. | ||
| Trump won the most Hispanic county in the U.S. by 16 percentage points. | ||
| That's Star County, Texas. | ||
| Absolutely incredible. | ||
| Looks like Tammy Baldwin is out in Wisconsin and that Eric Hovda is gonna win over there. | ||
| I mean, there's just like, this is just good across the board. | ||
| Wow, lots of good stuff. | ||
| And I think we have another video we can throw to you in the meantime before we get sage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But we are now hearing from sources that Donald Trump is making plans to come over here. | |
| Obviously, they have to prepare the motorcade for him to get in to take about a 10-minute drive over here where the convention center is. | ||
| But, Jake, that is a sign of how good the Trump campaign is feeling based on the numbers that John King just read there, that Donald Trump is preparing to come over here. | ||
| He said earlier he had no speech planned. | ||
| We'll see what he says when he's here. | ||
| Christian Holmes, we've been... | ||
| All right. | ||
| Sounds like Donald Trump is heading over to the convention center. | ||
| And if I'm not mistaken, we have Sage Steele, who is at the convention center. | ||
| Sage, things have gotten incrementally better by the minute. | ||
| Are we allowed to celebrate yet? | ||
| Come on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude, you know I'm never going to say yes until it's over. | |
| I just called you dude. | ||
| Sorry, that's unprofessional. | ||
| That was very unprofessional. | ||
| So I will admit to you, there's no one behind me because I went up to my room because my feet hurt and I got my tennis shoes and I'm walking back right now because it's been a lot of standing and a lot of chatting and so much excitement upstairs. | ||
| So I'm heading back there now and reports are yes, I overheard the TV you had on in the background and that's what we're hearing too. | ||
| I'm here with Tulsi Gabbard's people actually. | ||
| She's on her way up as well. | ||
| And they're like, okay, he's coming over much sooner than many people expected, honestly. | ||
| So that to me is a very, very good sign. | ||
| And you look at what happened with the Senate and Georgia now. | ||
| So I think there's a lot of positivity and for good reason. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, it seems I just had Ben Shapiro on and Ben, who describes himself as a pessimist, that was the happiest I think I've ever seen him. | ||
| He said it's over. | ||
| I mean, Ben was willing to do it. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| He said it's over. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| Did you see, did you see Elon's tweet? | ||
| Wait, wait, we're getting something, I think. | ||
| The Kamala Harris campaign is saying she will not be speaking tonight. | ||
| Because they don't have anyone on hand to run the teleprompter, that's why. | ||
| Right, the teleprompter guy is a union guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He doesn't work past midnight eastern. | |
| Well, that doesn't surprise me. | ||
| That doesn't surprise me, right? | ||
| I mean, if I'm not mistaken, Hillary didn't speak that night, right back in 2016, right? | ||
| Didn't she not speak until the morning, if I'm not mistaken? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Georgia's official, by the way. | ||
| With all the inconsistencies over the last several elections like this, I don't think it is wise to speak now, right? | ||
| I'm sure they're going to have some other reasons why to say, hey, let's double check on this and let's go recount that. | ||
| So it makes sense to wait. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's just, I was saying in between segments here, that it's just so, for as exciting as this all is, and again, let's not count the chickens till they hatch, it's just so unfortunate what the media has done that half of the country, or at least I don't know, whatever you want to say, 60, 70, 80 million people really think that some really racist maniac is about to take the office. | ||
| And it's so counter to everything that you and I have seen on the inside, what so many of us have seen on the outside, and yet they did this to us. | ||
| And in some ways, it's very unforgivable. | ||
| I totally agree. | ||
| To me, I liken it to kind of how we felt with COVID. And, okay, we have to move on, right, and do our things. | ||
| But Never forget. | ||
| Hashtag never forget. | ||
| I think that that's really important. | ||
| When we sat together at MSG, it's something we talked about is just how diverse the crowd was for that rally of 20,000 people. | ||
| And then just the last few days when I've been on the road, like I told you earlier, in North Carolina and throughout the state of Pennsylvania at the rallies and then doing work with the hurricane victims. | ||
| And, you know, everybody looks a little different. | ||
| And at the end of the day, sometimes it isn't about Donald Trump. | ||
| It's literally about The policies, which is what I think it always should have been. | ||
| But you have a ton of people who are like, I didn't vote for them in 2020 or 2016, but I'm in now. | ||
| And it's been so fascinating for me to have time to ask them why. | ||
| And it is so much about lack of trust with her and lack of transparency. | ||
| I mean, Dave, how long did it take her to put just something on her website as far as the policy is concerned? | ||
| And so that's a big deal. | ||
| I think they took a lot for granted and little things to me like not going on Joe Rogan, which, hey, if I'm running her campaign, I'm probably like, yeah, let's not because she can't handle that. | ||
| But when you only choose very, very, like I think that they took for granted that the American public would just be like, no, it's fine. | ||
| It does take a toll. | ||
| OK, do you see behind me? | ||
| There's Tulsi Gabbard coming in the red. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's Tulsi. | |
| There's Tulsi. | ||
| Should I text her and tell her to turn around and then she could turn around like live on the thing? | ||
| No, she's coming this way. | ||
| I'll just have her wave at you. | ||
| She can wave for a minute. | ||
| We'll have Tulsi. | ||
| She doesn't usually have an entourage. | ||
| I'm kidding. | ||
| These are all the people. | ||
| Tulsi, say hi to Dave Rubin. | ||
| We're on now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Tulsi, you're on the internet. | ||
| We're gonna win. | ||
| We're gonna win. | ||
| Hallelujah. | ||
| Alright, now you can feel it all kind of falling into place. | ||
| Yeah, if Tulsa's walking in, then you know this is a good thing and we're on, for sure. | ||
| And she's been all over the place. | ||
| Like I said, we're on the ground in North Carolina together in Grand Rapids late last night. | ||
| Where were we before that? | ||
| Pittsburgh. | ||
| And people don't realize, Sage, I hope you don't mind if I give a little insider info that I know from you and Tulsi, but people don't realize, you guys are traveling, you're not flying in first class, you're in coach, just taking crazy flights, not being paid for much of this or any of this, and you're doing this because you believe in the country, you believe in the mission here, and finally maybe we're seeing the fruits of that. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| There's been zero dollars exchanged, literally, and I've been so impressed watching the Trump campaign with Laura Trump. | ||
| I mean, that girl will get on Spirit Airlines to get home to tuck her kids in. | ||
| We are constantly in boarding group seven with American Airlines, and we run and grab peanuts, et cetera, before we get on the plane. | ||
| Like, it's real, and it's raw, and it's Genuine. | ||
| That's the thing that's been so awesome to watch is how genuine everything has been because people want to do this. | ||
| All of us are volunteers. | ||
| Um, and it's, it's the biggest honor. | ||
| So you know what? | ||
| I'm going to, apparently everybody's taking their seats and like jockeying for position up where he's about to speak. | ||
| Um, cause he's on his way over. | ||
| Do you want me to head up there and then call you guys back just with a little scene set? | ||
| That would be awesome. | ||
| Get yourself settled. | ||
| I, if I know one thing about Sage Steele, she knows how to get a good seat at an event. | ||
| So get in there, do what you got to do and we'll check in with you. | ||
| Security is tight. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'll text you when I get up there. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Great. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Bye guys. | ||
| All right, cool, guys. | ||
| Well, now I feel like something shifted. | ||
| Maybe it was just that Tulsi moment where now it does feel like I think this thing is basically in the bag and we're gonna be okay. | ||
| Also, I think my house alarm might go off in a minute due to a door opening over there. | ||
| We're usually not in the studio this late. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| Be kind of funny if all that is happening at once. | ||
| Okay, we've got some videos to throw to, so let's take a look. | ||
| Oh, okay, we're going to have some stuff that we're going to throw to in a minute, so let me see what, let's see. | ||
| Yeah, all right, we've got something from the televised mental institution. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not all working-class voters are members of unions, right? | |
| And so there's a huge portion... | ||
| The vast majority are not. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| And I think that gets overlooked. | ||
| And while we can all say, but Donald Trump does absolutely nothing for them, that's true from a policy perspective. | ||
| But they look around and somehow still they feel connected with his personality. | ||
| They like the way he speaks. | ||
| And he speaks to them and says, you are forgotten. | ||
| You know what Joe Biden did? | ||
| He forgave student loan debt for college-educated people who have all sorts of job opportunities. | ||
| You continue to be forgotten. | ||
| Oh, it's like you people are actually having some sort of self-awareness suddenly. | ||
| Yes, she was a terrible candidate. | ||
| And yes, Donald Trump does have a way to talk to the people that feel forgotten. | ||
| And he eats like them and goes to McDonald's like them. | ||
| And he's a real person like they are. | ||
| And you guys all decided to be forgotten. | ||
| Robotic, artificial weirdos caring more about chopping children's genitals off than covering the border. | ||
| And then you wonder why you ended up here, and tomorrow you're gonna debate all day long how evil white women are, that they didn't do what they needed to do for you, or that black men are now evil because they changed in some numbers towards Trump. | ||
| None of it makes sense. | ||
| None of it works. | ||
| You know, the other thing that'll be interesting after all of this will be what happens to the Democrat Party. | ||
| Do they purge the progressives and somehow some sane Democrat Party comes back? | ||
| Like, I don't think so. | ||
| I don't think there's enough of them left. | ||
| All right, let's do a little crazy reaction to TikTok stuff. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I have not had a sip of tequila in quite some time, but it is here. | ||
| All right, all right, it's time. | ||
| I think we can start celebrating a little bit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You did say bananas, democracy, Elon, Pennsylvania, and immigrants. | |
| Oh, I did say a lot of the drinking game buzzwords throughout the evening, and I didn't drink, so here you go. | ||
| All right. | ||
| God, that is good. | ||
| I cannot wait to share that with you guys. | ||
| All right, all right, all right, all right. | ||
| All right, let's see some TikTok videos. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's see. | |
| Here we go. | ||
| We're shifting gears while Trump gets over to the convention center. | ||

| It should be noted that when young people, younger people say gay, they don't mean gay like you're gay, like you want to like, you know, do it with another person of the same They mean gay like you're a dork, you're a... | ||
| Kind of like you're a loser. | ||
| That's what they mean. | ||
| They don't mean gay like you're just gay. | ||
| Ah, you're two dudes having a good time. | ||
| They don't mean that. | ||
| You know, they don't mean you're dancing to the YMCA, they mean you're just a loser, basically. | ||
| Yeah, all right, let's go, let's go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where'd you go to college? | |
| I didn't go to college, but I turned it down. | ||
| Yeah, I turned it down just to do this, just to grind from the rap. | ||
| So you had an opportunity to do the drumming thing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, a scholarship and everything. | |
| Where at? | ||
| I think it was like in Jacksonville. | ||
| Where'd you go to college? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I ain't go to college, but I turned it down. | |
| Yeah, I turned it down just to do this. | ||
| Who is that? | ||
| Just to grind from the rap. | ||
| So you had an opportunity to do the drumming thing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, a scholarship and everything. | |
| Where at? | ||
| I think it was like in Jacksonville. | ||
| A big band in Jacksonville. | ||
| It was a big college though. | ||
| And they offered me like 15, some shit like 10 million or something like that. | ||
| 5 million, something like that. | ||
| $15, $10, $5 million to go to college? | ||
| I think he's a little confused about things. | ||
| Alright, what else we got? | ||
| What else we got? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, why? | |
| We have to show that one again because it's a little too quick for people to fully understand. | ||
| All right, you all know how much I love Frankie Valli. | ||
| There is a thing happening on Instagram right now. | ||
| He's 90 years old. | ||
| The guy is still touring. | ||
| He obviously is lip syncing. | ||
| He can't really move his mouth anymore. | ||
| But if you go, and I'm going to see him again in January if he's still around, God willing. | ||
| If you go, you enjoy it after five minutes. | ||
| For the first five minutes, you're like, oh my God, this is insane. | ||
| But now, so now show the video again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You get it. | |
| The internet's a cold, dark place where it'll ruin everything and make all of the innocence of the world disappear very, very quickly. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Well, Shapiro called this thing at, what was that? | ||
| That was 1202, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
| Now we've got Tulsi Gabbard saying that we won. | ||
| We got something else good here. | ||
| What do we got? | ||
| We got... | ||
| Oh, my former boss, Cenk Uygur, from the Young Turks, I guess is not having a great night. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Having said that, what percentage is reporting in North Carolina? | |
| 76. | ||
| 76% reporting you're down by 7. | ||
| You're in a world of trouble. | ||
| Like, yes, it matters which counties, but you're still in a world of trouble. | ||
| And in so much trouble that one of the organizations has already called it. | ||
| Okay, now let's go to Georgia. | ||
| Yeah, by the way, Iowa has been called by CNN, at least, for Trump. | ||
| Iowa called for Trump, so there goes that nonsense. | ||
| That guy's name, I used to work with him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He was such a prick. | |
| I'm getting revved up here on a significant rant. | ||
| Oh, he's getting revved up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because Kamala Harris is not winning. | |
| And the people who thought that Kamala Harris was going to win on a landslide are totally wrong. | ||
| Did anyone think Kamala Harris was gonna win? | ||
| I can't believe he's still doing that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, God, dude, just, like, die it, man. | |
| All right, here's Jake Tapper and John King. | ||
| Good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
| Pamela, what do you got for us in Georgia? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is important information in Georgia. | |
| I'm getting from Gabriel Sterling, the top election official there. | ||
| The margin right now in Georgia is 118,000 votes, right? | ||
| 100,000 votes are outstanding right now. | ||
| This is what I'm being told from Gabriel Sterling. | ||
| Now, he says the split will go marginally for Harris. | ||
| So let's break down what we know about where some of that outstanding vote is. | ||
| Chatham, 40,000 outstanding, I'm told. | ||
| This is a county that went to Biden in 2020. | ||
| Carroll, outstanding, 18,000. | ||
| This is a county that went to Trump in 2020. | ||
| And then you have the blue counties of DeKalb and Fulton. | ||
| DeKalb has 3,000 outstanding ballots. | ||
| Fulton has 2,000 outstanding ballots. | ||
| Again, just to recap, tight margin, 118,000, 100,000 votes still out in Georgia. | ||
| And Gabriel Sterling says the split coming from that will be marginally, his prediction is for Harris. | ||
| But this is what the data coming in is showing right now. | ||
| Back to you. | ||
| John, do you have any questions for Pamela? | ||
| You say a total? | ||
| The total outstanding votes is 100,000? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He said 100,000 votes out. | |
| Yep. | ||
| And so I just gave you a little snapshot of where some of those places are. | ||
| Chatham, Carol, I asked, when are we going to find out these results from these counties? | ||
| He did not have a timeline exactly for that, but hopefully soon. | ||
| But the significance, obviously, that Donald Trump right now has a margin of 118,838 votes, and you're saying there's 100,000 left. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If he's being literal, sometimes they're getting calls from counties and they say 20,000, it's really 22. | |
| 30,000, it could be 33. | ||
|
unidentified
|
John, can I just jump in? | |
| Yes, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Actually, we asked about how do you know these numbers, and actually, by law, they have to have it, the actual numbers. | |
| So I understand your point, but I think they do have more precise numbers based on what the law requires. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, then that math sends a shockwave through the Harris campaign. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| That is literal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Even if she won them all, if there's $100,000 left and she won them all and she won't, he's $180,000 both dead. | |
| She said marginally for Harris, which means probably like $5,347 or something along those lines. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| We'll have the decision desk talk to the people in Georgia. | ||
| Can I go back? | ||
| Guys, I'm not a math magician, but if you're up by 118 Trump and there's only about 100 left, there's pretty much no way that that can be resolved. | ||
| So yes, Georgia will go to Donald Trump. | ||
| That is quite clear. | ||
| Here is Harris campaign co-chair saying that Kamala ain't talking tonight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Short and to the point statement from Cedric Richmond, the Harris campaign co-chair, speaking to what is still a considerable crowd at Howard University in Washington, D.C. You now see them turn as one to start to leave the grounds. | |
| They're letting the crowd assemble there for the Harris campaign and in support of Vice President Harris, letting everybody know that she's not going to be speaking on any subject over the course of this evening. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I don't see how they could pull off any kind of stunt that we're all afraid of at this point. | ||
| I mean, I know they, I know, I know, I know, like the last thing you want to do is be overconfident about everything, but like every sign is on the wall. | ||
| The numbers, I see no way that the numbers make any sense. | ||
| We've got more video of the crowd from Kamala's watch party leaving. | ||
| Oh, that was? | ||
| Yeah, I think we have more on that in just a second. | ||
| But I just see no way around this at this point. | ||
| So we're going to have Sage jumping in over at Mar-a-Lago at, sorry, not at Mar-a-Lago, at the convention center in West Palm Beach. | ||
| Hopefully she'll get a good seat and maybe we can get some of this live streamed as Trump gets up there, which at this point it's 1 a.m. | ||
| right now. | ||
| We started this thing at 6 o'clock. | ||
| Longest broadcast in Rubin Report history. | ||
| Completely numb in the legs. | ||
| But we will continue. | ||
| The joy cometh. | ||
| That's what Kamala said, something like that. | ||
| The joy cometh in the morning. | ||
| Yeah, maybe I should, all right. | ||
| Let's, let's, yeah. | ||
| Let's play Nintendo for a moment while we let the team collect themselves, get some clips. | ||
| I'm here, I'm gonna have a piece of sushi. | ||
| A little piece of sushi, a little tuna avocado, a little bit of soy. | ||
| My ear thing's popped out. | ||
| Adi might make a guest appearance and give me my ear things back. | ||

Here we go, here we go. | |

Yeah, we're going to bust out a little Super Mario. | |

| You know that John King and Dana Bash were used to be married? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Isn't that weird? | ||
| So incestuous, all of it. | ||
| Alright, let's see what's going on over on Oh, I think the system froze. | ||
| Look who's on the live stream. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Look, it's Sage. | ||
| She's on the Fox News live stream. | ||
| Sage Steele is on the Fox News live stream right now. | ||
| She's double dipping. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's at the Trump rally. | |
| She's at the Trump speech. | ||
| So you can see. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll see her there in a minute, I'm sure. | |
| In the meantime, I think I'm going to have to reset the Nintendo system here. | ||
| There's Sage Steele. | ||
| Working hard. | ||
| All right. | ||
| All right, we're gonna start up Mario Brothers again while we get a little bit more info here. | ||
| We are to beat this first board, but we'll do that quick. | ||
| Obviously nothing major there. | ||
| Grab the shroom. | ||
| I won't go down for the coin. | ||
| We're just gonna plow through. | ||
| How fast can I do Mario Brothers? | ||
| That's the real question here. | ||
| We're just gonna go for speed. | ||
| Pretty good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Oh no. | ||
| Oh no. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| Terrible, terrible. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Is there a mushroom around here? | ||

Is that a star? | |
| Are there a mushroom? | ||
| These are all coins? | ||
| What are these? | ||
| It was a simpler time. | ||
| *singing* Alright, we're gonna get into 1-2. | ||
| I think we will get to a warp board from here. | ||
| Might go to, might warp it to 3. | ||
| Eating a little sushi, that's okay. | ||
| Alright, here we go. | ||
| Are we all having a sleepover tonight? | ||
| There are people right now that are watching Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow fight on MSNBC instead of watching this. | ||

You crazy bastard. | |
| Here, this is, is this it? | ||

unidentified

Watch this. | |
| Look at this. | ||
| Brilliant. | ||
| Brilliant. | ||
| I haven't played this thing in 10 years. | ||
| It all starts coming back to you. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Oh, but I skipped the... | ||
| Oh, I did all that and then I skipped the warp thing. | ||
| Alright, alright. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's okay. | |
| Are people filing in over at the convention center right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, RFK's on camera. | |
| Start it. | ||
| All right, we're rolled one three. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh! | |
| Oh, you think that's... | ||
| Why don't you throw it to the New York Times It just seems to me that knowing everything we know to get, to just like call it, even if the numbers don't make sense in any other way, the system's just evil. | ||
| You should do more political analysis like that. | ||
| While playing video games? | ||
| Oh wait, why don't I do a political analysis as Mario while I'm running? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm Mario, and I'm making a political analysis about the election. | |
| Ben Shapiro called the election, but we don't call it until we count all of the votes. | ||
| I got 5,000 points on the flagpole, and now I'm going aboard a one of four. | ||
| Okay, I'm Mario. | ||
| I'm in the underground dungeon. | ||
| Speaking of underground dungeons, where's Tim Walz? | ||
| I used to go to the dungeon with him all the time! | ||
| Whoa! | ||
| Jump in the fire! | ||
| Whoa! | ||
| Look at this! | ||
| Oh, Bowser! | ||
| I sense a little Bowser. | ||
| Well, where is the Bowser? | ||
| I think I can beat the Bowser. | ||
| Oh, easy, easy, easy. | ||
| Huh? | ||

| Okay. | ||
| The accent's starting to go. | ||

I'm a jumping. | |
| That was a close call, but I'm a doing okay. | ||
| We're getting some updated numbers from the election. | ||
| It's looking good. | ||
| Nevada's in. | ||
| We win in the Nevada. | ||
| I'm Mario and I'm jumping around, but I still care about the democracy. | ||
| It's a good thing, you know. | ||
| I come from a place without the democracy, but we got the democracy here. | ||
| Okay, jumping and jumping. | ||
| Oh, Lordy, this is going to be tricky or pretty good. | ||
| Where's Luigi? | ||
| Wonder if he voted for Kamala? | ||
| Using the thingy over here. | ||
| How do you do it again? | ||
| Okay, okay. | ||

Whoa. | |
| So did Trump actually win the race? | ||
| Is it Trump gonna be a president and I'm a-swimming in the squids and the coins and all of the fish? | ||
| And Donald Trump gonna be president of number 47 after being a 45. | ||
| I'm a Mario and I enjoy the swim. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I come to this country illegally. | ||
| Me and my cousin Luigi, we cut off the head. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Ooh, all right, all right. | ||
| All right, we're killing it over here. | ||
| We probably have more live viewers watching me play Mario Brothers than they've got on MSNBC at this point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, whoa! | |
| There we go. | ||
| You can feel the momentum shift. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa! | |
| Did you see that? | ||
| That was pathetic. | ||
| Are you working? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are you working over there? | |
| Game over, game over. | ||
| All right, should we jump back? | ||
| Maybe we should jump back and update. | ||
| No, not yet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, keep playing Mario Rise. | |
| All right. | ||
| We got Contra? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We got Contra? | |
| Wasn't Conor around here? | ||
| Conor, I'll do this somehow. | ||
| Maybe I'll just throw some. | ||
| I'll just walk through it. | ||
| Oof. | ||
| What a world. | ||
| What a world. | ||
| I'm out of sushi. | ||
| I got no sushi! | ||
| - Shit, keep a dying on the border one. | ||
| No more sushi, no more. | ||
| That's enough. | ||
| Whew. | ||
| All right. | ||
| How's everybody doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hanging in there. | |
| I'm getting a couple videos right now, but I have some numbers. | ||
| We've got some numbers. | ||
| Should we check in with Sage? | ||
| How's she doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
She probably got a primo seat. | |
| It's on the sheet, bro. | ||
| What were you doing the night that Hitler was elected? | ||
| I was playing a Super Mario. | ||
| Hitler is taking over. | ||
| But I'm trying to eat a mushroom, and I'm fighting the Koopa Troopa. | ||
| All right, how do I get up here again? - Haunting. | ||
| Wait, how'd I get up here? | ||
| Ooh, it's nonsense. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. | ||
| Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. | ||
| No! | ||
| All right, all right, all right. | ||
| Do-do-do-do-do-do. | ||
| Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. | ||
| Here's what I was trying to do last year. | ||
| Watch this. | ||
| Now you run right over to the warps. | ||
| Now, most people would go right to four, but I always found three to be the funnest of all of the levels. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Sweet move, man. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh, Sage can join. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| If you'd like to read these numbers. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Connor, put me on full screen. | ||
| We're back. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We're going to get Sage back on in just a second. | ||
| Nevada, we've got some numbers. | ||
| Trump has 518,000 votes, 51 percent. | ||
| Kamala. | ||
| Kamala, whatever her name is, the blue blob, 483,000. | ||
| So that seems to be within a margin that we can't get too excited about at this point. | ||
| Arizona, only 54% in still. | ||
| So still, something with Arizona and the speed and Maricopa and all that stuff, it's only about a 14,000 vote difference over there. | ||
| Pennsylvania, 93% in now, and that 3% margin, at some point that becomes insurmountable, right? | ||
| They're now saying it's most likely Republican, according to the New York Times. | ||
| Like, at some point, the 300,000 vote with only 7% left, you just can't find the votes there. | ||
| Also, it's 4% with 87% in. | ||
| So, you know, they got about 120,000 votes you got to make up. | ||
| You probably can't do it. | ||
| Michigan, 66% in. | ||
| It's a six-point margin. | ||
| You got to make up to about 240,000. | ||
| I think exactly 240,000 votes there. | ||
| So at some point, it just gets hard to make up the votes there. | ||
| Should we check in with Sage? | ||
| And then maybe she'll have some insight. | ||
| All right, let's call Sage Steele over at the Palm Beach... | ||
| Convention Center. | ||
| You know, I was at the Palm Beach Convention Center for a Turning Point event in December of 2019. | ||
| Pretty sure I got COVID there before everyone said COVID came in, you know, whatever it was, like February or whatever, March. | ||
| Pretty sure I got COVID there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nothing? | |
| Connor, why don't we pull that video that Brock sent you? | ||
| All right, we're going to try to get Sage in just a second. | ||
| But yeah, everything else is sort of in no man's land at the moment. | ||
| I think it's okay to just leave the camera on me and I don't have to do that much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what I mean? | |
| I want to do a little TikTok dance. | ||
| What would you like me to do? | ||
| You want to do a TikTok dance? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Come on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do it with me. | |
| I'll do it with you. | ||
| You're going to dance with me? | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| Things are getting weird. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We were on a mission. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We've been on... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is a good opportunity for you to talk about that a little bit, too. | |
| But I think this is a little celebratory that we can do together. | ||
| Connor, you got it? | ||
| You got to dance. | ||
| Love the flow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on, Connor. | |
| Now it's time for new believable people and we must do it. | ||
| If we don't control insiders, this will be over and over. | ||
| To lead by any big fat love. | ||
| Find common ground to hold the spread of lies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we must do it. | |
| Oh, everyone in the studio is doing it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, my I think we've got Sage Steel. | |
| It's non-fatal communication. | ||
| Very much higher. | ||
| America first. | ||
| To lead by an idiot. | ||
| Insiders fighting for insiders. | ||
| Time to stop. | ||
| Insiders fighting for insiders. | ||
| Sage is calling. | ||
| The memes are back. | ||
| It's all back, baby. | ||
| Oh, I think we might have Sage, or she's at least trying to connect. | ||
| We're working on getting you, Sage. | ||
| I heard, oh my god. | ||
| That's hopefully good. | ||
| We're working. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright, we're working on the connection with Sage. | |
| Fox Call Pennsylvania. | ||
| Fox Call Pennsylvania. | ||
| Wait, what number does that put us at? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, we're done. | |
| It's over. | ||
| Jeremy? | ||
| Sage, I just heard Fox called Pennsylvania. | ||
| Did you get that over there yet? | ||
|
unidentified
|
267. | |
| And we're going to win Alaska with three, and we'll get 267. | ||
| And Alaska's three. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my God. | |
| We have to get Alaska, but we're going to get Alaska. | ||
| Sage. | ||
| We won the fucking election. | ||
| People are... | ||
|
unidentified
|
We won the election, dude. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Did it happen? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my God. | |
| Did it happen? | ||
| Quick, put back Super Mario Brothers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait. | |
| Are they... | ||
| Wait, wait, wait, wait. | ||
| Put on the Fox map if we can. | ||
| All right, we're... | ||
|
unidentified
|
MAGA hats? | |
| All right, we're gonna... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, wait, wait. | |
| Sage, are you there? | ||
| I can hear you. | ||
| Can you hear me? | ||
| Should we try Sage just with audio, maybe? | ||
| - 'Cause it's probably an internet issue. - Okay, so Pennsylvania, Fox has called Pennsylvania for Trump. Fox has called Pennsylvania for Trump. | ||
| So that puts him at 267. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Alaska hasn't been called. | |
| Alaska hasn't been called, but Alaska's three, right? | ||
| And like, he's gonna win Alaska. | ||
| So that's 270. | ||
| Like, it's over. | ||
| It really is over. | ||
| One hour and 20 minutes after Ben Shapiro called it, we're willing to call it here on The Rubin Report. | ||
| I see no way around it now. | ||
| Look at all these happy people. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look at this, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| I'm willing to mess up the hair. | ||
| I'm willing to mess up the hair. | ||
| We're gonna make America great again. | ||
| We actually are gonna make America great again. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| We are gonna put all of this bullshit beside, behind us. | ||
| We are gonna move on. | ||
| It is enough of the woke nonsense. | ||
| It is enough of the neo-racism. | ||
| It's enough of hating ourselves. | ||
| And our genitals and trying to abuse children. | ||
| Enough of all of the bullshit. | ||
| Let's get back to the greatness that America once was. | ||
| Let's get back to the place that our ancestors all fled to because it was way better from where they were fleeing from. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's time, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| It is just time. | ||
| Clearly now Donald Trump will speak probably, my guess is in the next 15 minutes or so. | ||
| Maybe they'll have one or two people. | ||
| Maybe Junior will speak before him or Tulsi or whoever, but like, I think this is the first time I've ever put a MAGA hat on, period, actually, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
| We were holding this one for a while. | ||
| It is officially... | ||
| It's on. | ||
| It's a good fit. | ||
| It's a good fit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not bad. | |
| We did it. | ||
| We did it. | ||
| What's your message over the past... | ||
| What's my message? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Back in the past couple years between the Larry Elder movement of Florida, campaigning for DeSantis, and re-supporting Trump. | |
| RFK told you to be getting them on your side. | ||
| Look, as I've been saying on the show for the last little bit here, everything that's happened in this country in this last... | ||
| I don't know, in the last two years, I guess? | ||
| No, it's really since COVID, I guess. | ||
| I feel like it's been so connected to what I've talked about on the show. | ||
| When the government overreach of COVID was happening in Cali, and I was talking about it, it was like... | ||
| It was like, well, do something about it. | ||
| Do something about it was move to Florida. | ||
| And now Florida is the strongest red estate in the country. | ||
| And then what do you do after that? | ||
| Well, you support the guy that was here, that was running the show here, and that was DeSantis at the time. | ||
| And it did not go the way I wanted, but I have no regrets whatsoever. | ||
| I don't think he has any regrets. | ||
| And no one should have regrets. | ||
| You win some, you lose some in politics. | ||
| But if you're fighting honestly for what you believe in, Then you don't lose. | ||
| You don't lose. | ||
| You can lose an election, but you don't really lose. | ||
| And it seems to me now that finally after everything, assassination attempts and trials and media bullshit and lies and just everything, we have been so deep. | ||
| You know, I always say that it's like we're just gonna follow them into the abyss and we have been so deep in that abyss now for so long that sometimes it was getting hard to see the way out. | ||
| Like, will we just be in this thing forever? | ||
| But I think it's possible that starting tonight we won't be in this thing anymore. | ||
| We can actually restore America. | ||
| The thing that now united me and Elon and you and Trump and Rogan and Tulsi and Bobby, et cetera, et cetera, it is real. | ||
| It is real. | ||
| And it's going to be the political movement that saves the country. | ||
| And quite literally, maybe even saves the world, because as goes America, goes the world. | ||
| I think things could get rapidly better very, very quickly, significantly better very, very quickly. | ||
| We'll still have a couple months of weirdness, and the Democrats will try all sorts of weird things, and there will be some violence and all that stuff. | ||
| So you don't want to be Pollyannish about it and pretend anything is better than it actually is, because I am a realist more than anything else. | ||
| The decision desk, is that the Fox News decision desk? | ||
| The decision desk. | ||
| Decision desk has officially called the election for Trump. | ||
| That seems pretty good. | ||
| It seems like things are happening. | ||
| We're getting a round of applause. | ||
| The GOP has also won the Senate. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, this is all good, guys. | ||
| This is really good. | ||
| Newsmax projects that former president Donald Trump will win Pennsylvania, which would send him back to the White House. | ||
| So they somehow got to 270 through Pennsylvania. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Yeah, Newsdesk, Decision Desk HQ is calling it for Trump. | ||
| I mean, that's it. | ||
| Holy fuck. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean... | |
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow guys. | |
| Remember flying to San Francisco for the Twitter files, everything you've done. | ||
| Especially since you moved to Miami. | ||
| Guys, to whatever extent I had a piece in any of this, in any little way through connecting with Elon and doing the show and pushing very clearly for the alliance that maybe did this thing, that's pretty good. | ||
| And that's why tonight I announced my retirement. | ||
| It's been nice knowing all of you. | ||
| Good luck with all of that. | ||
| Yeah, it's coming through. | ||
| I mean, everybody... | ||
| You know what's crazy? | ||
| Doesn't the VP... Have to certify the election? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So Kamala Harris is going to have to certify the Donald Trump election. | ||
| There is a God, and God is good. | ||
| There really is. | ||
| Like, come on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow, this is really fantastic. | |
| Yeah, Scott Pressler did a great job on the ground in a lot of these battleground states. | ||
| Here, let's all write a tweet together. | ||
| I wanna write, Trump 2. | ||
| What do we call it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump 2. | |
| Help me. | ||
| This is what winning looks like. | ||
| Trump, too. | ||
| Oh, David, you're here, too. | ||
| Trump won. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Very excited. | |
| Hello. | ||
| This is what winning looks like. | ||
| Wake the kids up! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump won! | |
| Daddy, did Trump win? | ||
| He's like, I just won. | ||
| I gotta tweet it out, guys. | ||
| But think, there are people right now running around the country thinking Hitler's back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you're just like, this is the best guy I've ever seen. | |
| - Oh, that's great. | ||
| Okay, we all are ready to speak. | ||
| How about this? | ||
| Trump 2. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Orange, you glad to see me. | |
| Pretty funny? | ||
| Pretty funny? | ||
| Let's see if that does well on Twitter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll see how that one does. | |
| All right, so, oh, I forgot one on the internet over here. | ||
| Okay, he won. | ||
| This is it. | ||
| We did it. | ||
| We all did our part. | ||
| Joey, by the way, our video editor, has never stayed up this late in his entire life. | ||
| It's 1.30 a.m. | ||
| He's completely delusional. | ||
| We're going to do this at 11 a.m. | ||
| tomorrow? | ||
| God. | ||
| All right. | ||
| All right. | ||
| But guys, for real, the hard work begins now. | ||
| So Trump will accept tonight. | ||
| Let's just assume that everything is okay over the next couple months. | ||
| And yes, it will get weird. | ||
| But then we can really start restoring things. | ||
| Think how quickly we actually could do it if Elon gets in there. | ||
| And Elon's like, I'm going to clean this up. | ||
| We are going to cut the waste. | ||
| And Bobby is like, you know what? | ||
| We're going to look at what's going on. | ||
| With the food supply, and we're gonna do something at CDC or NIH, or Dr. | ||
| Drew, who I had on earlier, if he was to head one of them. | ||
| There's so many opportunities here. | ||
| There's such an unbelievable... | ||
| When Trump won in 2016, I was with the Daily Wire guys. | ||
| I was with the Daily Wire guys in 2016 when he won, and I was with the Daily Wire guys in 2020 when he lost, although when I left them that night, we thought he was gonna win. | ||
| And the night that he won, In 2016, nobody knew what the hell was going to happen, but everyone really thought Hillary was going to win, basically. | ||
| And we were all kind of shocked. | ||
| And Andrew Klavan said something that I thought was really great that night. | ||
| He said, you know, how amazing is it that in this country, things that people don't think can happen can still happen. | ||
| He said that can't happen in most countries, but it really can still happen in the United States of America. | ||
| And it just happened again, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like... | |
| It just happened again. | ||
| Donald Trump is gonna be president again. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| He's not gonna be Hitler. | ||
| He's not gonna be mean. | ||
| He's not gonna be racist. | ||
| We're gonna fix our foreign policy stuff quickly. | ||
| We're gonna fix our border quickly. | ||
| He's gonna be better and more efficient at it. | ||
| He's not gonna hate anybody because of the color of their skin or anything else. | ||
| He's not gonna... | ||
| Use the Air Force to attack the view, although I would be for it. | ||
| Things could get better quickly, and in a weird way, that's what they want the least, because then it would show you that everything that they've tried to sell us through identity politics and ridiculous backwards economics and peace through weakness and all of the rest of it, that it was all just bullshit nonsense. | ||
| And that things can be fixed properly when you have good leadership and you have a good team. | ||
| And that's what he's going to have this time. | ||
| And this will also largely be the death knell of the mainstream media. | ||
| Yes, they'll be more hysterical. | ||
| They're never going anywhere. | ||
| They've got a lot of money. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| But people more and more will tune out. | ||
| This is the proof in the pudding moment. | ||
| Like, how is it that for all of the... | ||
| Shows that we did here, we were closer to... | ||
| I always knew we were closer to being right on the ideas. | ||
| The ideas that I talk about on the show, we can explain. | ||
| I can explain them. | ||
| I can explain why I think the things that I think, why I've evolved on this issue or that issue. | ||
| And they can't do those things. | ||
| And that's why they're left with the racist, bigot nonsense. | ||
| And that the media... | ||
| To me, the... | ||
| At the end, what did they do at the end? | ||
| They threw Obama to save very fine people. | ||
| That was all they fucking had at the end. | ||
| They did not deserve to win this. | ||
| They did not deserve to run America anymore. | ||
| They've got to go home. | ||
| They don't have to go home, but they can't stay here. | ||
| Like, that's it. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Enough is enough. | ||
| And this country is so unbelievably extraordinary. | ||
| And it's so, people, you can't even, and maybe none of us, That living it right now can really realize how incredible it is, that the default position of this country is that we should all be treated equally, regardless of our skin color or any of those things, and that's not what virtually any other country in the history of the world was ever predicated upon. | ||
| And for some reason, we let people for the last 20 years tell us that this place was bad, and then we let a culture tell us that it was bad, and we let everything rotted out from the inside, and we let the inmates run the asylum and all of these things. | ||
| Well, no more! | ||
| Maybe this is the no more moment. | ||
| It is the no more moment as far as I'm concerned. | ||
| Hopefully more people will get on board that. | ||
| And hopefully Donald Trump will have learned from his mistakes and will lead properly and it will be okay. | ||
| It will be better than okay. | ||
| It will be great again. | ||
| Phoenix, how we doing over there? | ||
| Anything interesting happening? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yes, interesting things are happening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Three minutes and you're gonna have some great videos. | |
| All right, three minutes and videos are coming in, and I'm seeing a lot of happiness here. | ||
| So Pennsylvania, so several people are saying, from what I can see, that somehow it was Pennsylvania that got him to 270. | ||
| Mark Cuban tweeted, congrats, Donald Trump. | ||
| You won fair and square. | ||
| Congrats to Elon Musk as well. | ||
| So Cuban trying to get back in on it. | ||
| um all right 1.7 thousand likes on the orange you glad to see me joke Not bad, considering. | ||
| I mean, it's crazy. | ||
| He's back. | ||
| It's just... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's see, let's see. | |
| Van Jones is, oh God, if you're a parent of a trans kid, your child's fate. | ||
| Oh, okay, we're gonna play a couple things. | ||
| So obviously, look, the fear is gonna come, the craziness is gonna come. | ||
| It's all just not true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just not true. | |
| All right, we're gonna try Sage. | ||
| Sage, do we have you? | ||
| Kind of, I think. | ||
| I think we got you. | ||
| Sage, I don't know if you heard, but Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. | ||
| Did you catch that over there? | ||
| I did, and I'm trying to be professional and not get emotional right now. | ||
| If you could have heard, and I'm sorry the signal went down, if you could have heard the elation in this room and people screaming in this room, the thousands of people, I don't know that I fully believe it yet, because people like you and me have been so scared, frankly, because the system we don't trust. | ||
| And the fact that they just called Pennsylvania tonight, what? | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| We need to give so much credit to the RNC and what they've done over the last several months with the attorneys and the 500 attorneys all over this country to try to make sure that there's no issues like 2020. | ||
| And I'm speechless and so excited. | ||
| It's so amazing. | ||
| It's like we really could fix it all now. | ||
| It's so freaking great. | ||
| It's so great. | ||
| I can't believe it. | ||
| So what are people doing? | ||
| So everyone's basically just waiting for the big man to speak now, right? | ||
| Yes, and I'm on the ground. | ||
| I don't have a platform to be able to show you. | ||
| I mean, the thousands of people behind me here, I don't know if you can kind of see the stage behind me where he's going to be speaking. | ||
| People lost it. | ||
| People went nuts. | ||
| And they're all, at this point, yeah, just waiting. | ||
| There's been a lot of jockeying for position, as you might imagine. | ||
| Everybody wants a front row seat. | ||
| The red carpet is out. | ||
| There's, you know, with the, whatchamacallit, the little banners, swingy rope things, whatever those are, it's all prepared for when he comes in. | ||
| You know, you and I were there last week at MSG. And then the last couple of nights, last night when I was with him in Grand Rapids and in Pittsburgh, Listen, those are hour and a half speeches. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This one, who knows how long it's gonna go. | |
| We're going right into our 11 a.m. | ||
| live show tomorrow. | ||
| What he's been through, I do believe it is truly one of the greatest comebacks of any kind, whether you think of it politically or with sports, you name it. | ||
| It's incomprehensible what he's gone through. | ||
| And I always say to people who question and doubt, I always say, he didn't have to do this. | ||
| He could have just had his spawn on his multiple golf courses and properties around the world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He wanted to do this because he believes in this country. | |
| He is poorer. | ||
| He has less money because of it. | ||
| And all these people here grasp it. | ||
| They're celebrating because they're calling Minnesota, I guess. | ||
| That's what that cheer was for. | ||
| But there's so many people have come up to me, Dave, who were never Trumpers from New York or California. | ||
| And just... | ||
| COVID changed them. | ||
| They all have stories. | ||
| And it's just amazing to see everybody coming together. | ||
| A lot of joy from a lot of different kinds of people here. | ||
| What a beautiful, diverse crowd here in Palm Beach. | ||
| Yeah, it's just, gosh, I really wish we could feel, well, we can feel it to whatever extent we can feel that energy in that room. | ||
| It's kind of coming across the internet vibes with you being there right now. | ||
| Wow, it really is, it feels surreal, right? | ||
| Like, it's like, I'm still, you know, Ben Shapiro, we had him on an hour and a half ago, and he was willing to call it then, and I was like, dude, I'm just not there with all their shenanigans, but now it's real, and I don't know that I'm emoting properly. | ||
| Like, this is the thing I've been praying for for the last year. | ||
| Well, I think it's just because with all the corruption and all the lies, right? | ||
| To me, it's about the lies. | ||
| Yeah, it's the lies. | ||
| It was so frustrating. | ||
| And then the media, of course, the mainstream media, just give full context. | ||
| Let the American people decide. | ||
| And they were unwilling to do that. | ||
| I actually am surprised in some ways at how the Democrats ran this campaign. | ||
| You and I were together on June 27th for the debate, that infamous debate. | ||
| And in hindsight, I'm sure that they would change a million things, but they let it go on way too long, obviously, with Joe Biden. | ||
| But even since then, with how they chose to keep her away from interviews and away from the mainstream, I guess it was just the mainstream and not anyone else would ask tough questions. | ||
| And I think that's a huge mistake, but maybe they're smart because they knew she couldn't handle it. | ||
| And that was proven down the stretch when they had no choice but to allow her to talk to some people and it didn't go well. | ||
| It really is, if you think about it, he was put through a lot, like an assassination attempt or two and all the legal stuff and the ballot stuff, but he didn't run an inefficient campaign. | ||
| He ran quite an excellent campaign, actually, scandal-free in terms of real scandals and everything else. | ||
| Like, he really ran a disciplined campaign and kept widening the tent and kept bringing on new people and doing that whole thing. | ||
| And now, in retrospect, Everything about the Democrat operation from halfway through the Biden presidency when they should have pulled the plug on him, if not even before, every single thing they have done has been awful but propped up by the media. | ||
| It's not much more complex than that. | ||
| No, absolutely. | ||
| I think, listen, I remember that there were one debate What's happening behind me is that they have the Fox News broadcast live on the big screen. | ||
| And of course, when those cameras turn on the crowd, they all cheer. | ||
| So I don't want you to think he's coming in now. | ||
| Hopefully when he does, I can be on with you. | ||
| But I think it's so interesting because there was concern, right? | ||
| Because she got under his skin. | ||
| She said the right things to Get him, I think, all focused on that debate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She poked and it ticked him off. | |
| And he didn't take advantage of some opportunities there to just focus on what she has and hasn't done over the last three and a half years. | ||
| So I was concerned then. | ||
| But the campaign has come back beautifully. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then really, quite often, look at the ads they ran. | |
| Sometimes there was no other voice except her voice. | ||
| And then how would they end it? | ||
| Saying, I'm Donald Trump and I endorse this message because they hurt themselves. | ||
| They teed it up for the campaign in many ways. | ||
| And I think the ads were so effective. | ||
| And that's what it was. | ||
| She hurt herself. | ||
| They hurt themselves based on the last four years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So this is the right thing based on how America has been, whether or not you like Donald Trump. | |
| They had four years. | ||
| They failed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We were better off in the four years process. | |
| Well, here we are. | ||
| There's a party about to start. | ||
| What do you think this means for the mainstream media at this point? | ||
| Like tonight should be the end. | ||
| You know, it doesn't end fully. | ||
| It doesn't like Freddy Krueger style get its bones buried because there's a lot of money behind it and these people will still exist to some extent. | ||
| But that clearly the Rogan thing with him and everything else that's been happening here, it's a full sea change now. | ||
| It really is here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I heard about half of what you said, but I think I understand. | |
| As far as the mainstream media, there's a lot of tears being shed, liberal tears, which never makes me sad. | ||
| But at the end of the day, it probably will help them. | ||
| If you think back to when Trump was in office, I think that's when CNN's ratings were at its highest, and MSNBC, because they have something to bitch about, frankly, and that's exactly what's going to happen, you know? | ||
| But at the end of the day, I hope that they, and maybe this is me being too optimistic, I hope that the mainstream media can take a look in the mirror and really evaluate, because if they were honest, this would have been a very different last four years, and certainly just of the campaign. | ||
| But they chose to tell lies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They chose to push that narrative, fascism and all of those things. | |
| And I, as a journalist for almost 30 years myself, yes it was sports, but it still had integrity. | ||
| And they didn't have that. | ||
| They chose that. | ||
| The leadership chose that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it has nothing to do with you and me, American people. | |
| They were not fair. | ||
| So it'll be interesting to see how they handle it. | ||
| And if there's finger pointing or if there's accountability and ownership, just looking at how they ran the campaign, much less themselves. | ||
| But this is such a victory for the good guys, for people like you who changed your mind. | ||
| And you chose to take a deeper look at your beliefs and made a massive change for you, for your family, for your team. | ||
| And there's millions of people like you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's what this stands for to me. | |
| Well, Elon just tweeted... | ||
| Our connection's a little wonky here. | ||
| I'm not trying to speak over you. | ||
| Elon just tweeted that the people of America gave Donald Trump a crystal clear mandate for change tonight. | ||
| And I guess really the question now is we just have to see how these three months go before he takes office. | ||
| And do they decide to just rein in some of the craziness? | ||
| Did we lose it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's all good. | |
| We have some videos to throw to. | ||
| Okay, so we lost Sage for a second there. | ||
| Obviously, the connection was getting a little bit weird. | ||
| We're going to throw to a couple different clips here, and let's tell Sage that we'll try it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right, so let's go to Van Jones, who is known to tear up on some of the nights that don't go well for him. | ||
| It looks like it happened again. | ||
| And let's make sure we get Sage back in just a few minutes. | ||
| I hear what you're saying. | ||
| And I do see it differently because I'm thinking about the people who are not a part of anybody's elite who are hurting tonight. | ||
| There are African-American women who know a little bit about being talked down to and know a little bit about having their economic dreams crushed, who tried to dream a big dream over the past couple of months. | ||
| And tonight they're trading in a lot of hope for a lot of hurt. | ||
| And they were hoping that maybe this time one of their own could be seen as worthy. | ||
| And once again, they're facing rejection. | ||
| And that hurts. | ||
| They thought tomorrow morning they're going to walk out with their shoulders back a little bit. | ||
| Maybe able to breathe for the first time and feel like they belong someplace. | ||
| They did everything that they knew how to do. | ||
| And it's going to be harder than it should be tomorrow for them to hold their heads up. | ||
| And they're not the only people who are hurting tonight. | ||
| If you're a parent of a trans kid, Your child's face was used as a springboard to power for somebody. | ||
| That doesn't feel good. | ||
| There are going to be people tomorrow, we're going to be handing clothes at the dry cleaners to people who don't have papers. | ||
| There are going to be people who are going to be cleaning your teeth tomorrow who don't have papers. | ||
| And they are terrified tonight. | ||
| And so it's easy to blow this off. | ||
| Oh, look at the elites. | ||
| They're going to get their comeuppance. | ||
| It's not the elite that's going to pay the price. | ||
| It's people who woke up this morning with a dream and are going to bed with a nightmare. | ||
| And those people didn't deserve to be respected and held and talked to. | ||
| Those are the people who are going to pay the price for whatever Donald Trump decides to do. | ||
| How do we know that those people didn't vote? | ||
|
unidentified
|
A large portion of those people aren't a part of the people that elected Donald Trump. | |
| I think that's a good part of the electorate. | ||
| Shut the fuck up with that old ass bullshit from 2015 that nobody's buying anymore, Van, with your crocodile tears and the rest of it. | ||
| That people can't breathe now and everybody's racist and they had dreams. | ||
| And oh, and somehow that Kamala wasn't in defense of the elites? | ||
| Donald Trump is the guy going after the elites, right? | ||
| Everything he said there was backwards, but we could flash the whole show probably, various guests throughout the evening hit on all of these points, but Gadsad talking about this suicidal empathy, like he's just trying to play up empathy. | ||
| He's so empathetic. | ||
| These people could finally stand up straight with their shoulders back. | ||
| How about you could still do that? | ||
| And the government shouldn't have that much to do with your life. | ||
| And you know what you're gonna find out under Donald Trump? | ||
| We're gonna have a secure border and the economy is gonna start working again and there are gonna be less wars and that's good for everybody, including black women. | ||
| The intersectional bullshit story is over. | ||
| It is over and buried tonight. | ||
| It is long overdue. | ||
| It should have been buried years ago. | ||
| It probably should have never materialized in this country in the first place. | ||
| But that sort of overly emotional nonsense is, How about the band? | ||
| Whatever the hell your name is. | ||
| Are you concerned ever about the girls who are getting the shit kicked out of them by boys in wrestling or in basketball or in volleyball? | ||
| Like, absolutely... | ||
| Insane. | ||
| Fox News officially called the election for Donald Trump at 277 now. | ||
| But that's not the complete map, I guess, still. | ||
| He won Wisconsin. | ||
| Yeah, so he won Wisconsin, too. | ||
| So 277. | ||
| So it's over. | ||
| It is over, over, over. | ||
| Sorry, Van Jones. | ||
| Like, and all of you people, you don't deserve jobs anymore. | ||
| I mean, that's the other thing. | ||
| I don't need to gloat yet, but all of you people on MSNBC, you race-hucksting, put the camera back on me for a second, all of you race-hucksters, all of you liars, all of you frauds who've lied about America, lied about Donald Trump, lied about half the country, none of you deserve jobs. | ||
| If you're an NBC network exec and you're watching this right now, fire everybody at MSNBC. Turn it into a 24-hour cartoon network. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| There would be no, well, that would be actually, wouldn't be that off what you're doing right now. | ||
| But enough, like nobody wants any more of your bullshit. | ||
| And I know what you guys are gonna do. | ||
| You're gonna double down. | ||
| That's all you do. | ||
| That's all you do. | ||
| That's all you've ever done. | ||
| There's no, because you're fighting Hitler. | ||
| You're fighting Hitler. | ||
| So why would you look yourself in the mirror? | ||
| And what you're gonna find out is that Hitler's actually pretty good for the country, and you're gonna have to grapple with that one day, but we know you people are kinda slow to come around, but as you do come around, we'll gladly collect you like Pokemon cards. | ||
| We'll take you, we'll collect all of them, and do what we gotta do. | ||
| Are we bringing Sage back? | ||
| I think we're maybe bringing Sage back a little bit, or should we throw to Clay? | ||
| You know, we started the night with Clay Travis, which was about seven hours ago. | ||
| Apparently, here is breaking video of Clay Travis's reaction to the Trump win. | ||
| It's fucking over! | ||
| Kamala, finished forever! | ||
| Bye, bitch! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump's 2024 to the White House! | |
| Bye! | ||
| Let's go! | ||
| He did say something about a little drinking that would be happening in Nashville, and I think we got evidence that it did happen. | ||
| And here's some... | ||
| So here's the tweet that I read from Elon. | ||
| The people of America have given... | ||
| gave... | ||
| Donald Trump, a crystal clear mandate for change tonight. | ||
| Yeah, and this is gonna be real change. | ||
| You know, what a sad ending to the Barack Obama story. | ||
| It's a sad but perfect ending. | ||
| The guy who came in with hope and change, he goes out as the worst sort of lying, just nothing. | ||
| That's what he goes out as. | ||
| You go out as an angry nothing who could only use fake racism in your last gasp for breath. | ||
| How pathetic, man. | ||
| It did not have to be that way. | ||
| Here's some stuff from Canadian state broadcasters who apparently are not having a great night. | ||
| Oh, we don't have that one. | ||
| No, we don't have that one. | ||
| We do have some video of Donald Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just want to tell you that America is the greatest place on earth. | |
| How long is it? | ||
| You know, I tweeted out on Sunday night right before I went to bed. | ||
| I was like, you know what? | ||
| I just got to be bold. | ||
| I'm going to say Donald Trump's going to win in a landslide. | ||
| Can we call this a landslide? | ||
| Can we say this is a landslide? | ||
| Are we comfortable with the phrase landslide? | ||
| Yeah? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, relative to 2020. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Donald Trump wins in a landslide. | ||
| I mean, it wasn't that close. | ||
| And it seems like as the night goes on, the margin will increase by a little bit. | ||
| So we're still waiting for Trump, obviously. | ||
| Let me see if Sage is trying to... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Get ahold of me here. | |
| MSNBC's Joy Reid says, Trump election has given the Israelis the green light to carry out a complete ethnic cleansing. | ||
| "Oh God, fuck that bitch." Like, do we need to analyze this stuff even more than that? | ||
| It's all here. | ||
| It's all happening. | ||
| My phone is actually melting right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Put out another tweet. | |
| Put out another tweet. | ||
| You even tweeted it. | ||
| You tweeted one thing. | ||
| Well, you know, I've been on air. | ||
| I've got my producer here telling me I'm not tweeting enough. | ||
| I've been with you this entire time, talking, working, working overtime over here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Elon put out, you are the media now. | |
| Yeah, that's a good line. | ||
| You are the media now from Elon Musk, and that's right. | ||
| You know, one of the things that he did, one of the first things that he did when he took over Twitter was the blue check was impossible to get. | ||
| You basically had to be well-connected in Hollywood or work for a giant company or something. | ||
| And then it made it seem like these people, that their voices were more important because they had the coveted blue check. | ||
| He came in and he said, everyone can have the blue check. | ||
| You got to pay a couple bucks and verify who you are, and then you get the check. | ||
| And that did democratize the way news started getting spread on Twitter. | ||
| And there were some downsides to it as a user of Twitter in that it's sometimes harder to find people that you follow because you can't see verified mentions as easily. | ||
| Anyway, this is a little in the weed stuff. | ||
| But he made it just so that we're all in on this thing together. | ||
| And that is the point of this entire campaign right here. | ||
| Wow, we really did it, guys. | ||
| we really did it Trump will be the president David, what was the first thing I said when I woke up this morning at about 6 a.m.? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump, Trump, Trump. | |
| I said Trump, Trump, Trump. | ||
| I said his name three times, and then he became president tonight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
| It was like Beetlejuice. | ||
| I think... | ||
| Well, I guess we've got to go through the speech. | ||
| How should we handle the rest of the evening? | ||
| Everyone can watch the speech on their own, or what do we think here? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Do we know when he is? | ||
| Let me text Sage, see if we can get some insider information. | ||
| - Dang tight. - I mean, also the guy's just a machine. | ||
| Like, it's 2 a.m. | ||
| He landed in Florida at 5 a.m. | ||
| after leaving, what'd they say? | ||
| He left Michigan at 2 a.m.? | ||
| I mean, it's really incredible. | ||
| There's video from it to where I'm like dancing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's see. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Dave Sage is on. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| Oh, Sage! | ||
| Do we have you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sage! | |
| Connection might not quite be worked. | ||
| There's an awful lot of people over there. | ||
| On their little computer phones. | ||
| Sage, do we have you? | ||
| Yeah, we should probably, we can try to connect with her after. | ||
| Or maybe she can do a pickup separately. | ||
| Guys, today, it really is a great day. | ||
| I don't know that I'm emoting properly. | ||
| Like, it's a really, really incredible day for the world. | ||
| I don't even know that I have much more to add at this point. | ||
| Like this was a lot of hard work by a lot of people. | ||
| This literally in this room is a lot of hard work by these guys. | ||
| But everybody that was part of this, everyone that put, you put yourself on the line by telling your friends what you thought and you encourage people to think about things a little more deeply or you shared some of our videos and maybe helped somebody wake up. | ||
| You know, one of the things that I did first thing this morning was I said throughout the day I'll retweet people Who tell me why they're a first-time Trump voter. | ||
| And all day long, I was reading these stories from these people who had Trump derangement syndrome. | ||
| They were lefties their whole life. | ||
| They were purple-haired this. | ||
| And something has fundamentally shifted in this country right now. | ||
| And it just goes to show, if you fight hard enough with a just enough cause, the thing that feels impossible, this is the second time Trump's done the thing that feels impossible, right? | ||
| And in between doing the two things that felt impossible, winning the presidency twice, they tried to kill him also. | ||
| The story on this guy is just something else. | ||
| And what the real opportunity now will be is that, you know, I talk about kayfabe a lot, and in wrestling, sometimes the heel, the bad guy, becomes the ultimate hero, right? | ||
| Like, you take the bad guys, and everyone hates them one day, and then something happens, and then everyone loves them, and maybe that's the ending to the Donald Trump story, if we have four great years right now. | ||
| Like, not everyone. | ||
| They'll always be the haters, but, like, you can... | ||
| You can get most people on your side, right? | ||
| Like at the heyday of Hulk Hogan, most people loved Hulk Hogan. | ||
| Some people hated him, but most people loved him. | ||
| And that's the America that we got a return to. | ||
| And what do you got for me, Phoenix? | ||
| You're very excited. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Actually, I'm gonna say it off camera. | |
| Yeah? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Do you want to? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm reading a tweet. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| He single-handedly kept America from having the first female president twice. | ||
| Donald Trump single-handedly kept America from having the first female president twice. | ||
| I thought that before. | ||
| I didn't feel like saying it, but now I've read some anonymous person's tweet online saying it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, you know. | |
| I wouldn't have a problem with a woman president. | ||
| It just has to be the right woman. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| Just absolutely incredible, guys. | ||
| Yeah, Tulsi would have been great. | ||
| Tulsi would have been great. | ||
| So we don't know when he's speaking at this point, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Just the crowd stuff. | ||
| Well, we did it, guys. | ||
| So, I'm tempted to say that after eight hours, which we're about to hit in 20 seconds... | ||
|
unidentified
|
We just hit. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| That we could say goodbye to you on the internet. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| We did it. | ||
| Like, we did it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know? | |
| Trump's gonna speak. | ||
| You don't need to hear me analyze Trump's speech. | ||
| I think we could say to everybody, thank you. | ||
| We worked hard. | ||
| We're happy to be here. | ||
| We're happy to save America. | ||
| We're all in on it together. | ||
| And this is just the beginning. | ||
| But I think it is time. | ||
| I feel like Sinatra at the end of a long night, you know? | ||
| Guy laying over there, unconscious on the floor. | ||
| Does anyone have anything they want to add? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We got a cold close. | |
| Oh, we got a cold close? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We got a cold... | |
| Do I know what it is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we'll be live in... | |
| We'll be live in nine hours. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Well, first off, thank you for being part of this insane adventure that we pulled off tonight. | ||
| This really, again, this is not just about Trump now. | ||
| This is about a wholesale switch of the media and the things that we're working on and projects that we have planned and expansions that we're working on and all sorts of stuff, that just got rocket fuel tonight. | ||
| Because the old thing is dying, and it's dying really fast now, and the new thing is here, and we've been at the forefront of that for years on several fronts, whether it was going independent or locals or whatever we've been doing, and home studios and all of the stuff. | ||
| So in some ways now I suddenly feel like we're right at the beginning again, but what an incredible night. | ||
| You know, I did think at one point I thought at one point today at about four o'clock, we did the Chebain show during the day and then we were doing things all day long and from four to 4.30, I just laid on my bed and I closed my eyes but there was no chance I was gonna fall asleep but I was just trying to like, you know, just like expunge some stuff from my head or just clear my thoughts or whatever. | ||
| And I thought, man, what will happen tonight? | ||
| If we're rolling into 8, 9 o'clock and Trump's losing and it's just going to be bad, bad, bad, what will I be doing on camera? | ||
| It would be an unbelievably horrible moment for America. | ||
| I don't know that I want to be on camera for that. | ||
| That's not exactly what I signed up for when I had the idea of doing all of this. | ||
| But that's not what we have tonight. | ||
| We have something really spectacular, really joyous and wonderful, and I'm thrilled to be... | ||
| On the adventure with these guys and with you guys. | ||
| So I thank you. | ||
| I think we can cut it now. | ||
| Enjoy the speech tonight. | ||
| And you know Trump, like he may take another two hours to get up there and he'll go on from four and he'll do a three hour speech and it'll be 7 a.m. | ||
| We will be back live in less than nine hours. | ||
| Everyone coming to work tomorrow? | ||
| Everyone coming? | ||
| Wow, I got nods from everybody. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| Alright, everyone's coming to work tomorrow. | ||
| I thank you guys. | ||
| What an exciting, what an absolutely exciting day. | ||
| And let's make America great again. | ||
| Why not, right? |
