| So we will see about that. | ||
| There will be no live show tomorrow. | ||
| You're getting the day off. | ||
| I hope you enjoy it with friends and family and a lot of food and you drink good wine and eat all the stuffing and the mashed potatoes and all the pie and everything else that you can do. | ||
| And today's show is just a little bit of a catch up on a few things that we weren't able to get to earlier in the week. | ||
| A little bit from my appearance on Jordan Peterson's 500th podcast and then an assorted cast of characters from Bill Clinton to Sage Steele, Joe Biden and more. | ||
| Before we do any of that, let me talk to you about TWC Black Friday, guys. | ||

| Okay, so let's dive in. | ||
| So I'm sure many of you, I hope many of you, watched the entire two and a half or three hours sit down that I did with Jordan Peterson in Arizona for his 500th podcast. | ||
| And it was the same week, almost to the day, eight years ago, that we had sat down the first time on Skype when Jordan was a little-known Canadian psychologist dealing with some free speech issues in Canada. | ||
| And I was at, really, in many ways, sort of the beginning parts of the Rubin Report. | ||
| It feels like many lifetimes ago for both of us, and we got into that and a whole bunch more. | ||
| But here, I want to show you two clips from this. | ||
| Here we talked about how close we got to a Kamala Harris presidency, if she was just the avatar, but how the Democrats really could have taken this thing if they had just been just a hair better than they were and they just couldn't control themselves. | ||
| If they would have been, I bet you, I bet you 10% better than We would not be in this situation right now. | ||
| We would probably have Kamala Harris as the president-elect. | ||
| Because most people are willing to swallow a lot of shit. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| We all have our own problems, all of our own stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But they went so in on all of the lies. | |
| The fact that Barack Obama, two days before the election, gave a speech, I think it was in Wisconsin, where he said that Donald Trump went to a white supremacist rally and said they were very fine people on both sides. | ||
| The fact that he ran with that hoax again... | ||
| After it has been debunked. | ||
| By people who wouldn't debunk it unless it was seriously not true. | ||
| I think the first time that got to mainstream media was me on real time because James Carville brought it up. | ||
| With Mar, and I had never heard it said on mainstream, and I wasn't going to let him get away with it. | ||
| And I said, what are you talking about? | ||
| The next sentence out of his mouth was, but I'm not talking about the white supremacists and the neo-Nazis who should be condemned entirely. | ||
| But Carville literally crumbles to the table because he did not know what to do when confronted with reality. | ||
| And then Bill said, well, it was worded inarticulately or something to that effect. | ||
| And I thought, well, that's an interesting way of... | ||
| I think Obama—well, what would your psychological analysis of Obama be right there? | ||
| It's two days before the election. | ||
| He either believes it—there's no way he could be that dumb and ignorant. | ||
| Simply impossible. | ||
| But maybe you want to give him a 5% chance. | ||
| You want to give him 5%? | ||
| What do you want to give him on that? | ||
| Let's give him 20%, right? | ||
| Okay, great, 20%. | ||
| So he's unbelievably dumb and ignorant, and he ran speech by nobody who's willing to confront him with reality. | ||
| Or, what would the only alternative be? | ||
| He knows he can lie, it doesn't matter how big the lie is, and he thinks the lie will accomplish the goal, that the ends justify the means. | ||
| I think they got to the end of that road. | ||
| I think that's what this election was. | ||
| I agree with that guy, but I think that really is what the election was all about. | ||
| And again, there is about three more hours of Jordan and I that you can see over on his YouTube channel. | ||
| The reason I wanted to start with that clip, though, was because that gets to the heart of everything that we've been talking about, especially for the last three weeks post-election. | ||
| Are we going to take the lies or not anymore? | ||
| And I think suddenly something has happened. | ||
| The election was clearly a decisive win for the people that will not take the lies. | ||
| But now I'm seeing something else happen, which is that even the people who have been swallowing the lies this entire time are starting to take them a little bit less. | ||
| And it will be our job with a little grace and humility to take people who've been voting the wrong way, might have said a lot of bad things about us, lied about us, We've tried to wreck our careers or whatever it might be in our own homes and everything else to bring them over to the light side. | ||
| That's going to move right now. | ||
| One other clip from the Jordan Peterson podcast. | ||
| Here we were discussing what sort of brought together this wide array of people, for those of you that have been with us for a while, when that whole intellectual dark web IDW thing came together. | ||
| And it largely started in my garage about six years ago, sitting down with all of these people who should have had nothing to do with each other, whether it was Tucker and Rogan and Brett and Brett Weinstein and Jordan and Ben, etc., etc. | ||
| What brought us all together? | ||
| And how is that kind of connected to where we're at right now as well? | ||
| I think it's analogous in some ways on the political side to what happened with the media, the new media that we were describing. | ||
| There wasn't anything really that... | ||
| We had in common, let's say, you and I, or Weinstein, or Rogan, Shapiro. | ||
| That was a very... | ||
| Diverse group of people. | ||
| It was free speech in the most, I guess, in the essence. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It was. | ||
| Well, I think the thing we had in common, essentially, was our approach to discourse. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That was really all. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, Rogan, you know that what you see is what you get. | ||
| He's exact. | ||
| All you people, all the people in that group are exactly the same on camera and off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| There's no persona. | ||
| They're just exactly who they are. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And all of those people were and are iconoclastic, right? | ||
| They didn't fit well in organizations. | ||
| They all started their own thing. | ||
| And that's really the same thing that's characteristic of these people that have gathered around By and large, the liberal end of the legacy media have doomed themselves to perdition because they got partisan and deceitful. | ||
| And they were also willingly blind because they didn't pay attention to the new media at all. | ||
| Well, nobody could be that bad at their job. | ||
| No janitor could be so horrible at his job and still have a job the next day. | ||
| Joe Scarborough lies every day. | ||
| He sits in a chair at MSNBC at a giant corporation to lie. | ||
| Somebody up there, I don't know who his boss is, but somebody up the chain of the corporation knows that he's lying about all of these things. | ||
| So here you are with me, and we've started to replace those people. | ||
| As Elon Musk has been saying, you are the media now. | ||
| And I really mean that in that you are the media as much as I am. | ||
| We can fact check each other. | ||
| You guys can tweet at me and send me messages. | ||
| It's easier for me to see stuff when you put it in locals. | ||
| But we can now all be part of the corrective process That the mainstream media got so wrong. | ||
| But what brought us together, Jordan and I and those people? | ||
| It was simply the ability or the desire to have open discourse, which once was a liberal value. | ||
| And of course, the liberals abandoned liberalism. | ||
| So now if you would like an example of that, let's jump over to the televised mental institution known as MSNBC because that blonde lady over there She's not that interested in discourse. | ||
| And when you're not interested in talking to people who might think a little bit differently than you or who have come to some different conclusions, you might end up sounding completely insane. | ||
| Cue the video clip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, one of the things that Ross Vogt is advocating for is the elimination of all the post-Watergate norms in order to weaponize the DOJ. And he also is somebody that's advocating for deploying the military against U.S. citizens in order to quench dissent or protest. | |
| So when you have a guy like John McEntee and that database, part of the pre-vetting isn't just, oh, they check off all the boxes in terms of their professional skills. | ||
| It's also that, oh, they're sufficiently loyal that they will allow us to do all these things that otherwise would be illegal or not allowed to be done. | ||
| And the thing is, you cannot drill, you can't say that enough, and I want you to say more about that, because you're talking about deploying the U.S. military. | ||
| Remember, Mark Esper, who was Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense for a while, told him, no, you cannot shoot American citizens. | ||
| You can't have the military shoot American citizens. | ||
| He's going to replace people in the Department of Defense with people who will say you can, and that you can deploy the military against protesters, that you can arrest journalists for reporting things that Donald Trump doesn't like, that sort of thing, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is exactly right. | |
| There's so many layers of irony there. | ||
| First off, the guy that she's talking to is the head of Media Matters for America. | ||
| The clip that I showed you right before that was, of course, me and Jordan talking about how you have to be able to talk to people with differences. | ||
| Interestingly enough, that guy, when Pete Buttigieg was running in the primary against Joe Biden, you know, four-plus years ago, I had tweeted to Buttigieg about coming on the show, and I had had several other Democrats come on the show. | ||
| I had had Tulsi come on and Andrew Yang and a We're good to go. | ||
| To all of our requests. | ||
| And that is exactly what Jordan was illustrating in the previous clip. | ||
| You guys decided everyone who thinks a little bit differently is so dangerous. | ||
| Thus, congratulations. | ||
| You have now left us with the widest ten possible. | ||
| Anyway, as for weapons... | ||
| Weaponizing the DOJ that Trump's going to do and shoot people. | ||
| These are all things that the Biden administration either did weaponize the Department of Justice. | ||
| You think they did that, Trump, over the last couple of years? | ||
| And Donald Trump is not talking about using the army against legal citizens. | ||
| He's talking about using it to get rid of, say, MS-13 and Venezuelan gang members and a bunch more. | ||
| But you know this. | ||
| All they have left and what they have to ramp up crazily... | ||
| Until he becomes president, and then God knows what they'll do once he becomes president on January 20th of 2025, is they have to ramp up the fear. | ||
| Here is Representative Dan Goldman from New York talking about Donald Trump. | ||
| They're already prepping for his third term now. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You recently introduced a resolution to clarify the Constitution's two-term limit for presidents. | |
| Do you think that there's a serious push among Republicans to change federal law to allow Trump to run in 2028? | ||
| Well, let me just give you the example that I just mentioned, which is that it appears to have been completely normalized that Donald Trump could either pardon himself or dismiss criminal charges against him if he becomes president. | ||
| At one point, that was anathema and everyone was like, oh my God, that's crazy. | ||
| That can't possibly be. | ||
| It's the same thing now. | ||
| This is how Donald Trump operates. | ||
| He floats it. | ||
| He normalizes it, and then it just becomes part of the common parlance. | ||
| And so we wanted to lay down a marker to say, and put everyone on record, Republicans included, that the Constitution is very clear that he cannot serve another term. | ||
| And what my fear is, is that with him floating that, with some of his cabinet picks, which clearly are prioritizing political loyalists, that Donald Trump is well on his way to dismantling our government and the way that it operates. | ||
| If you listen to the subtext of what he's saying, it's in the Constitution already. | ||
| Donald Trump can't do it. | ||
| And let me be the first to say, if Donald Trump via floating an idea and having people around him who are interested in his ideas and who like him... | ||
| If they try to get him to run for a third term against the Constitution of the United States, I promise you, ladies and gentlemen, I will not be for it. | ||
| But again, it's just fear-mongering. | ||
| Donald Trump is going to weaponize the Department of Justice. | ||
| That's what they did. | ||
| Donald Trump is going to try to run for a third term. | ||
| Well, you guys had a shadow presidency with a man with dementia and then a diversity hire that nobody thought was actually in charge. | ||
| Clowns everywhere! | ||
| Speaking of clowns, let's jump over to The View Before You Eat Your Turkey, where Whoopi Goldberg, hot diggity damn, she actually said something sane as Anna Navarro continues to go into the progressive pit of hell and fear-monger about everything. | ||
| Whoopi must realize that the only way they're going to manage to stay on TV is if there's someone occasionally sane, and she chose herself on this given day. | ||
| I think what we're all saying is we're going to sit and wait. | ||
| We're going to wait and see because we can't do anything else except... | ||
| I'm not going to wait and see. | ||
| I mean, this guy's told us he's a retribution. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| There's nothing to be done until you know what you're fighting. | ||
| It's pissing in the wind doesn't help. | ||
| You just get a wet face. - But I mean, what I'm saying is, I have no false expectations that at 78, he's going to all of a sudden turn into another human being. | ||
| - And I'm not gonna spend, I spent weeks telling people that he was apocalyptic. | ||
| I'm not going to change now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not treating every single thing. - I think that's when we lose credibility. - Well, here's the thing. | |
| You lose credibility In many different ways. | ||
| If you don't know what you're talking about and you accuse him of something, then they're going to blow it back. | ||
| That's why I say we need to wait and see exactly what you're going to do. | ||
| All right. | ||
| First off, I love that they're playing the outro music there. | ||
| They're literally trying to take them to commercial while they're talking about losing credibility, which is a bit ironic. | ||
| Whoopi explaining to anyone losing credibility. | ||
| You know, in a weird way, I can make both arguments here. | ||
| In one sense, Whoopi is doing the right thing. | ||
| You guys want to remain on air. | ||
| You better wait and you better judge him on what he does, not all your preconceived notions, because otherwise, as things get better, people are going to see you're a bunch of hysterical lunatics. | ||
| On the other hand, I actually could make Anna Navarro's case, which is that if you think he's an authoritarian, evil, Hitler-like person, you wouldn't wait. | ||
| You wouldn't do whatever you were going to do to start your revolution or stop sleeping with your husband in the name of stopping Trump or whatever it is that you people are doing. | ||
| You wouldn't do it, right? | ||
| If Hitler came to power and you were like, oh my God, Hitler's going to be in charge in two months, you'd start doing some shit. | ||
| So in some sense, I can make Anna's argument, but I think Whoopi is doing something, I would say, a little more long-term healthy for her career, which in essence is like, hey, everybody calm down and then we'll see what's what. | ||
| Let's do one more of Anna because, you know, the chicks seem to be more upset about this than the dudes. | ||
| And Anna wants everybody to, you know, take a bath before they launch the big resistance movement that she apparently is going to lead from Florida. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It does feel different than 2016. In 2016, at this time, the Women's March was being planned. | ||
| That began getting planned the election night, and it began with a Facebook post of a housewife in Hawaii, and it turned into millions of women marching all over the country the day after the inauguration. | ||
| I think, look, we're all eight years older. | ||
| I think a lot of us are still apoplectic that America voted against a qualified woman again and put in, you know, this this racist misogynist and they don't care. | ||
| And so it's like so it's tiring. | ||
| It is exhausting. | ||
| It is disappointed. | ||
| I think this election cycle was an emotional roller coaster, right? | ||
| We had Joe Biden, the debate, two assassination attempts, Kamala coming in and running hard, leaving it all on the field for 107 days. | ||
| And then we thought she was going to win, like we did with Hillary in 2016, and she didn't. | ||
| So I think people are exhausted. | ||
| I think they are looking at, you know, taking care of themselves before they take care of Of America, right? | ||
| I gotta breathe. | ||
| My mental health has gotta be in a good place. | ||
| My physical health has got to be in a good place. | ||
| That doesn't mean we're gonna tune out for four years, but it means we're gonna take some bubble baths for a little bit. | ||
| I love it how they're all looking at her like you're completely bananas, lady. | ||
| First off, Donald Trump is not a racist and he's not a misogynist, but let's put that aside for a moment. | ||
| This is exactly where you guys were going to end up. | ||
| What she's saying is we're going to take our bath, we're going to do our hair, we're going to eat right for a little bit and exercise, and then we're going to do everything we can for four years to make sure that this racist misogynist can't get his agenda done. | ||
| So again, even if he's doing good things, we'll try to destroy him. | ||
| So whoopee! | ||
| Whoopi, I know you're a big fan of the show. | ||
| I know you love what I'm doing over here. | ||
| I hope that you will do exactly what you laid out in the previous clip, which is judge the guy by what he actually does. | ||
| And then I think you'll find yourself on the right side of history. | ||
| And Anna, you will find yourself miserable and alone. | ||
| If you'd like to see a woman who's actually spectacular, thus not a cast member of The View, my good friend Sage Steele was on Sean Hannity the other night. | ||
| And there does seem to be this impending sex war brewing where there is this movement of left-wing women who are shaving their heads. | ||
| They don't seem to shave their pits, but they're shaving their heads and they're shutting down the vajayjay in protest of Donald Trump being president. | ||
| It's called the 4B movement, which I guess originated in South Korea. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| What do you make of this 4B movement? | ||
| The women that are shaving their heads, the women that are, quote, withholding sex, the women that are threatening to divorce their husbands, and stockpiling abortion pills. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's your comment on that? | |
| Because that's like my favorite topic now. | ||
| It's your favorite topic? | ||
| Okay, you're scaring me now, Sean. | ||
| It's my favorite topic because they're nuts. | ||
| They are. | ||
| They're psychotic, frankly. | ||
| But they're not real women in that way, in my mind, I guess. | ||
| They're not desirable women. | ||
| I guess I'm going to try to speak for most red-blooded American men like yourself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
At the end of the day, I do think, and I'm not trying to be mean or insensitive, but I do think the Trump derangement syndrome has just gone off the cliff here. | |
| And there is... | ||
| Something wrong upstairs, in my mind, for so many of these women who are reacting that way. | ||
| And the scary thing is that I think a lot of them are smart, educated women who are choosing to believe these things. | ||
| And that's why the Democrats have pushed it for so long, though, because it has proven to work. | ||
| This is the first time, though, to the shock and dismay of the left, that it hasn't worked. | ||
| And I've looked at some of the demographics from this past election, which is three weeks ago yesterday, hard to believe. | ||
| I mean, 18 to 24-year-old women, I mean... | ||
| Didn't Trump win that demographic? | ||
| So really, people have begun, women, sane women, have begun to do their homework and not just go for the low-hanging fruit that the left throws out there at them. | ||
| You steal, ladies and gentlemen, a smart, thoughtful, beautiful woman who realizes that you shouldn't be voting just on how badly you want abortions, but you should be voting on things. | ||
| If you were voting from, let's say, a female perspective, you might want to vote on things like safe cities and a secure border. | ||
| And women also care about the economy. | ||
| And some women even care about foreign policy and a whole bunch more. | ||
| But we have, and it's thanks largely to people like Anna Navarro, you have left a lot of women shaving their heads, shutting down the vaginas, and we're going to have a burst of divorces, because things will get better under Trump, and you will have women who are not emotionally coped to deal with it, and they're going to start hating their husbands, and people are literally going to break up families over politics. | ||
| Let's jump over to Bill Clinton, a man who once was smoking a cigar and then put it inside an intern while he was on the phone in the White House. | ||
| He was on a call with Trent Lott, who I believe was then House Majority Leader. | ||
| That's Bill Clinton who did that. | ||
| Hillary Clinton said the whole thing was a big right-wing conspiracy theory. | ||
| And Bill has suddenly come around and started to realize that on the Internet, people are thinking different things than on mainstream. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I did my best to help this time. | |
| I didn't want to go to any big rallies and big television things. | ||
| I just wanted to get in the country. | ||
| Just go out and talk to people. | ||
| Because I think that we're behind in the sense that a lot of the small town and rural people are now highly sophisticated. | ||
| And how they get their information. | ||
| And there are zillions of new websites now. | ||
| All trying to advance their sort of conservative to right-wing radical talk. | ||
| And a lot of times we're not playing on the same field. | ||
| We're not even being heard. | ||
| So I just said, send me out there and I'll see if I can't do some good. | ||
| I have no idea if I did, but I tried. | ||
| Yeah, you guys watching this in those rural areas helping me advance my conservative to radical right-wing cause. | ||
| So silly because, you know, Bill Clinton is not one of the awful ones in his heart. | ||
| I mean, I guess he's a rapist or whatever, but he's not one of the awful, awful progressives rape and the thing with the dress and whatever. | ||
| But you know what I mean? | ||
| He's not a radical leftist, actually. | ||
| He was a pretty good president, and he was a governor from Arkansas before that, and he was a blue dog dem, largely, and even a bit of a populist, and that he just doesn't understand the lay of the land anymore. | ||
| So I actually respect the fact that he was like, I'll go out there and talk to people in the rural areas. | ||
| But yes, they've become sophisticated and listened to news outside of the echo chamber that has largely pushed all of the bad ideas that now have you, Bill Clinton, on the outside of your own party. | ||
| And I hope you'll come around on that, but I don't think so. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Well, since it is Thanksgiving tomorrow, Joe Biden, the man pretending to be president for the next two months or so, here he is because, you know, they pardoned the turkey at the White House every year. | ||
| And here he is talking about the turkeys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's just 1,100 miles. | |
| Takes 16.5 hours. | ||
| Through it all. | ||
| They stayed calm. | ||
| and they gobbled on and still gobbling. | ||
| They were stayed nice listening to their favorite music, which apparently includes a song Living on a Prayer. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Oh, that was a joke. | ||
| Living on a prayer. | ||
| Bon Jovi. | ||
| It's just like, this thing is just ending in such a pathetic fashion. | ||
| And just one more thing before we get to a Rubin Report. | ||
| Community Q&A. I saw this yesterday, and this is just how people fall for this propaganda. | ||
| I just cannot believe. | ||
| This is from John Lefebvre. | ||
| On Twitter, it costs $60 for a family of four to eat at McDonald's. | ||
| But NBC News wants you to believe that Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people is $58, the most affordable in 10 years. | ||
| And yeah, they have information there from the Farm Bureau Federation. | ||
| For 10 people, they're claiming you can be... | ||
| For 10 people, it would cost $58. | ||
| A turkey in and of itself is usually about $1.80 a pound, something like that. | ||
| You need about 15 pounds of turkey for 10 people at least. | ||
| That basically takes up two-thirds of your budget. | ||
| If you're feeding 10 people on $58, I would love to see it. | ||
| I probably don't want to eat at that table, but I would love to see it. | ||
| But I do, of course, wish everybody a wonderful, happy Thanksgiving. | ||
| We're going to do a Rubin Report community Q&A in just a second. | ||
| But first, let me talk to you about 1775 coffee. | ||
| Guys, Peaberry coffee isn't your average bean. | ||
| It's coffee's best-kept secret. | ||
| Only 5% of coffee beans grow as Peaberrys, making them denser, more flavorful, and packed with bold energy to kick-start your mornings. | ||
| This isn't just coffee. | ||
| It's a richer, more powerful brew. | ||
| 1775 Peaberry coffee is for those who refuse to compromise. | ||
| Each bean is hand-picked. | ||
| At high altitudes for that smooth, powerful kick you need to fuel your day. | ||
| No corporate crap, no woke nonsense. | ||
| Just the best coffee you'll ever taste. | ||
| And it's not just about the coffee, it's about what it stands for. | ||
| Whether it's pea berry, dark or medium, roast. | ||
| Or the new mushroom blend. | ||

| Alright, Elizabeth says, what is something that has happened in your life that at the time you were really unhappy about, but now you are thankful for? | ||
| Oh boy, I could probably come up with like a million things probably career-wise that I was unhappy about at different points. | ||
| Well, I guess easy ones would sort of be like, you know, when I was doing stand-up in New York City, you'd have to go to all of these different clubs, and you had to pass at the clubs. | ||
| And at one time, I was actually—I think I was the youngest comic ever passed at the Comedy Cellar, which was like the hottest club in the city, at least back then, 20-something years ago. | ||
| But I once went to the—not the comedy store— The one on the Upper East Side. | ||
| Can you Google it for me? | ||
| What was the comedy club on the Upper East Side? | ||
| Probably in the East 80s. | ||
| It was called Comic Strip Live. | ||
| And I really wanted to get past there. | ||
| And I had been on fire for a couple months. | ||
| And I really perfected my set. | ||
| And I wasn't very scripted up there. | ||
| But I was like, I knew they liked scripted stuff. | ||
| I was like, I gotta perfect it. | ||
| And I just did not have a good set. | ||
| I fought all of my instincts. | ||
| There was some heckling going on in the crowd. | ||
| And normally when I would have played with that and gone... | ||
| Gone with it and made fun of what was happening there. | ||
| I just kind of stuck to the script. | ||
| So I never passed the comic strip. | ||
| Doesn't really matter. | ||
| It all kind of worked out. | ||
| But the point is, you just keep going. | ||
| You just go and go and go. | ||
| You do things. | ||
| You screw things up. | ||
| And you just, if you're doing something right, and you just aim at something, right? | ||
| Aim at something and you will get something close to it. | ||
| I really do believe that. | ||
| Bill says, ever wonder what the current cost of handling 10 million illegal immigrants is? | ||
| How many NGOs are employed by the feds to process, house, feed, transport, all of them? | ||
| Inquiring minds want to know. | ||
| I don't know that anyone's done the proper number crunching on that, but this is the thing where people will be like, well, we need all these illegals because they have to take our low-paying jobs and they'll work in the fields and nobody wants to. | ||
| Well, first off, That sounds an awful lot like some sort of indentured servitude or modern slavery. | ||
| But we have no idea what's going on with any of these costs. | ||
| And can people who rent apartments to these people and then can't get them out, like what kind of hit they're getting and what it's doing to property values. | ||
| And if you have entire communities that are taken over, how does that change demographics? | ||
| And once there are demographic changes, how does it change the businesses and what's going on at the schools? | ||
| There are so many cascading effects. | ||
| I think that that's partly You know, there were a couple reasons that the immigration thing became so huge in the last couple years. | ||
| It was mostly because of the phone and that people were able to see everything, right? | ||
| Like the video that I always call back to that I think really mainstreamed the whole thing was when RFK, who still was running as a Democrat, was doing that selfie video at the border in Arizona, I think. | ||
| And all these people are walking by and he just starts listing off countries where they're from. | ||
| And I think that thing went so mainstream and people were like, wow, there really is a problem here. | ||
| But then when you start seeing it in your communities and you start realizing, boy, there are fentanyl problems now and there weren't fentanyl problems before. | ||
| And why are we letting our great cities being taken over by all of this stuff? | ||
| So who knows what the actual cost is? | ||
| But I guarantee you we will hear an awful lot about the cost of deportations because suddenly the left will care about budgets and money and where are we going to get it. | ||
| Uh, but if we're to believe what I think Trump and, and Homan are pushing, uh, they're going to go ahead and do what they got to do. | ||
| Uh, Darslight says for the celebrities leaving the U S I have read that some people think it is related to Diddy and Trump is just an excuse. | ||
| I mean, there's so much weirdness there. | ||
| I don't know what's true. | ||
| One thing that was making its way online was that Ellen DeGeneres, who now is living, she moved with her wife, Portia de Rossi. | ||
| I guess they moved to the UK. Wait till she finds out what the jihadists think of Lesbos over there. | ||
| But there's this video from a few years ago on her show where she brought out A bunch of kids, and then she had Diddy surprise them, and they were all talking about how much they loved Diddy. | ||
| I don't know any more than you do, but something weird is there. | ||
| Why is it that a guy like Usher, a few weeks before the election, goes on The View and says, I'm not going to endorse anyone, and then just days later is on stage at a Kamala rally endorsing Kamala? | ||
| The same thing happened with, what's her name? | ||
| Who's the girl with the bucket and the wet thing and the bucket? | ||
| Cardi B did the same thing. | ||
| She hated Kamala and then suddenly was up there endorsing Kamala, although the teleprompter went down and she didn't know what to say. | ||
| So I don't know what all that is. | ||
| It's gross one way or another. | ||
| Talway says they have no problem toppling the Jenga Tower to make things hard for the incoming administration. | ||
| That way they can blame Trump for all the problems on day one. | ||
| Well, look, that's why I was trying to be as vocal as possible for the last couple of weeks. | ||
| To encourage the Biden team, don't go crazy for these two months. | ||
| Pave a road out of this that gives things to Trump in a nicely tight package, a beautiful handoff, and then Trump can clean up probably what's going on in the Middle East and clean up what's going on with Ukraine and clean up the border and everything else. | ||
| You don't have to placate to the crazy lefties. | ||
| I think the biggest worry about that Jenga tower going down is that they are going to get the Ukraine war to go real hot. | ||
| We are now striking further. | ||
| We, in that we are giving Ukraine weapons, are striking further into Russia than ever before. | ||
| At what point does Putin just say enough is enough? | ||
| And if he, in some sense, if you're Putin, you're like, wait a minute, Trump's about to take office January 20th. | ||
| If I'm ever going to do anything... | ||
| I got to do it now. | ||
| That's not backing Putin or liking Putin. | ||
| That's just real politic. | ||
| So who knows what else they can wreck on the way. | ||
| But I do hope if there's anyone sane around Biden right now, they just realize the cultural shift. | ||
| They realize that Donald Trump is not Hitler, and they give him a chance to do some good things. | ||
| And don't just give him the wrecked Jenga play set on the floor. | ||
| A little fella says, Rachel Maddow took a pay cut of $5 million. | ||
| She is now paid $25 million for one day a week. | ||
| What a joke. | ||
| Do you realize how insane that is? | ||
| When I saw that, I had to double-check it because I could not believe it. | ||
| She was making $30 million. | ||
| Now, in light of everything that's happening with MSNBC and the ratings collapse, they're cutting her down to $25 million. | ||
| But her show is once a week? | ||
| Once a week? | ||
| What is with these people? | ||
| Doesn't Jon Stewart only host a daily show once a week now? | ||
| It's like they don't really want to work. | ||
| They kind of get everything wrong, but they will cash the check. | ||
| But 25, even if she was working five days a week, that's not worth 25 mil. | ||
| Anderson Cooper makes 20 mil. | ||
| And it just goes to show, everyone's got a price on their head. | ||
| What's the number that you would take to just promote lies all the time? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Everyone has to think about that for themselves. | ||
| Mad for Cars says, will Trump change who is in the press room? | ||
| Well, there's a lot of rumors right now. | ||
| They've been floating this. | ||
| I heard Don Jr. talk about it on Charlie Kirk's podcast that they are going to basically take the press passes away from the mainstream media and hand them to a bunch of podcasters and everything else. | ||
| I would get in there every now and again. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| I think they should leave some for whatever vestige of the mainstream media is there. | ||
| But it would be great to just mix it up a little bit. | ||
| Stop giving the people that lie over and over. | ||
| So Washington Post and Politico and New York Times, it's like, okay, maybe you guys could be there, but you don't get the front row. | ||
| And maybe you can't always be there. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| There's a whole bunch of guys online that are doing something interesting, and they're going to get a chance to ask a much more interesting question. | ||
| Sounds right to me. | ||
| It does feel like everything's going in that direction. | ||
| Dr. Winery guy. | ||
| I was so impressed and admired Neil deGrasse Tyson. | ||
| He lost so much credibility as a scientist when he vehemently denies reality with his smug, condescending style. | ||
| Yeah, you're referencing those clips we played earlier in the week. | ||
| He was on the season finale of Real Time. | ||
| And the fact that he's still going on and on, that girls might have every advantage boys have in sports, and then he tries to whittle it down. | ||
| Well, maybe in long-distance swimming, and it's just like, dude, get off it. | ||
| And it's unfortunate, because science should be the relentless pursuit of truth. | ||
| I mean, that's the interesting thing. | ||
| Science and religion should be the same thing, just from different disciplines. | ||
| If you're interested in religion, you should care about truth, right? | ||
| And your belief, the leap of faith, the belief is hopefully to get you to something that's true, right? | ||
| And science is using the scientific method to hopefully attain something that is true. | ||
| And unfortunately, he's been so muddled by politics that now not only can he basically not tell you that there are biological differences between boys and girls, males and females, but now he also is rabidly against Elon Musk, the guy that is sending us into Mars. | ||
| And as I mentioned on the show last week, this is the guy who took the mantle from Carl Sagan, the guy who wrote Cosmos. | ||
| If you're looking for something to do this weekend and you want to just watch a great movie, if you have never seen it, 1997, Contact. | ||
| It's Carl Sagan's only work of fiction. | ||
| It is one of my favorite movies, Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Skerritt. | ||
| It's just a wonderful, wonderful movie relevant to philosophy and religion and belief and science and sci-fi and media and all the stuff. | ||

| Shecky Green says, where will out of office Democrats work if Doge happens? | ||
| Well, let me tell you, Doge is going to happen. | ||
| A lot of people are going to be fired. | ||
| And yes, a lot of them will be Democrats because it's mostly, most of these agencies are filled with Democrats. | ||
| Look, I have sympathy for anyone that's going to be out of a job on the other side of this. | ||
| Even someone that's just been a pencil pusher, not doing much. | ||
| If that was your livelihood and you have family and you got to pay the bills and you got to put food on the table and everything else, especially this time of year, if you're going to lose your job, although this wouldn't be happening until the new year, I have sympathy at the most human level. | ||
| What are these people going to do? | ||
| do? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what the answer is, but that doesn't mean they should have the job. | ||
| And that does sound kind of cold. | ||
| And I suppose it is to some extent. | ||
| And we're going to have to think about this with all sorts of industries as AI becomes more ubiquitous and there will be just less and less jobs, right? | ||
| The easy one that I always talk about is the Amazon delivery guy who's going from the truck to your door. | ||
| That job soon enough will just be a drone, right? | ||
| You won't even need the truck. | ||
| It's just going to be a drone from the factory and there. | ||
| So, so many things are going to change and disappear and we're going to have to figure it out, but you can't stop technology. | ||
| and putting aside the technological part, people that have jobs that have become obsolete, the only reason you have them is because the government just endlessly sucks money. | ||
| And we're just not gonna do that anymore. | ||
| And we'll have to figure it out. | ||
| Like as a society, boy, if we lay off 500,000 people from the federal workforce, whatever the number might be, like what do you have to do on the other side? | ||
| What are these people gonna do? | ||
| I don't know what the answer is, but that's better than just keeping the Frankenstein monster going because you're afraid of doing something that takes a little bravery. | ||
| Jupanese says, doesn't KJP, Corinne Jean-Pierre, whoop, you moved a little fast for me, Phoenix, Doesn't Corinne Jean-Pierre look a lot like Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons? | ||
| I knew she reminded me of someone. | ||
| Oh, if only she was as funny and as witty as Sideshow Bob, who's probably, how many episodes of Sideshow Bob trying to kill, can we get a number on that? | ||
| How many times has Sideshow Bob tried to kill Bart Simpson in The Simpsons? | ||
| I'm going to say, I'm going to say there's been 10 episodes. | ||
| Of those episodes I haven't watched in a long time. | ||
| I did watch on Hulu the other day. | ||
| I watched... | ||
| It's season 34 of The Simpsons, and I watched the season premiere, and it was actually pretty good. | ||
| They pretended that the show got canceled, and they were... | ||
| They pretended the show got canceled, and they were doing, like, an AI version of The Simpsons to end it, and it was actually quite clever what they did. | ||
| Did you Google how many times... | ||
| No, three? | ||
| It's got to be more than three. | ||
| How many times has Sideshow Bob tried to kill... | ||
| Only three times? | ||
| Something... | ||
| The Stepping on Rake's episode alone, I feel like there were a couple of times there. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Something's not right about that. | ||
| All right, two more, and then we got to jump, eat some turkey and all that good stuff. | ||
| Deverim says, although we are screwed in the UK with the current government, at least when we have a change of administration, it happens almost immediately. | ||
| We don't have to wait for months while the losers turn things into a dumpster fire. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We get this three-month craziness where we have a president-elect and the announcement of all the things. | ||
| You guys and most other Western nations, it's a much quicker flip. | ||
| So when you guys get rid of Starmer, who's an awful socialist and just terrible, you guys do it pretty freaking quickly. | ||
| And that is what most other countries do. | ||
| One of the things, if you do watch that full two and a half hours or three hours that I did with Jordan, we talk about how Biden... | ||
| You know, he has this limited window to either fix things, as I said earlier, or just make things much worse. | ||
| Where right now, Justin Trudeau, he's probably got another eight to 10 months before elections. | ||
| And it's like, how much worse can he make things? | ||
| And I would say it's similar for someone like Starmer, but hopefully the conservatives take power again in the UK. And finally, Goldie says, Dave, what's on the menu for your Thanksgiving dinner? | ||
| So believe it or not, this year, we did not buy the turkey until yesterday. | ||
| And we normally are We normally do way in advance and we get, you know, heritage, organic, like the whole thing, like a big 20-pounder and all that stuff. | ||
| And this year we've just been so busy with the kids and I've been busy with the show and just a lot going on at the house. | ||
| We just didn't do it. | ||
| So David went to Whole Foods yesterday. | ||
| They only had two turkeys left. | ||
| It was a free-for-all. | ||
| He somehow grabbed two turkeys, basically ran out like footballs, We got two nine-pounders. | ||
| So we're going to do two turkeys different ways. | ||
| I'm going to smoke one of the turkeys, and then we'll do one in a little more traditionally. | ||
| And then we're doing all the usuals. | ||
| We're doing the stuffing. | ||
| And David does a really awesome... | ||
| What is it? | ||
| It's... | ||
| It's a soup. | ||
| Oh, he's going to kill me. | ||
| He makes it every year. | ||
| Chipotle squash. | ||
| It's a squash chipotle something something soup. | ||
| I'll put the recipe up on Locals for you and we'll put some pictures. | ||
| And yes, share all your food pictures and what you guys are doing. | ||
| And I hope everybody takes a little time off. | ||
| As I said, no show tomorrow for Thanksgiving. | ||
| I hope you are... | ||
| I hope you're surrounded by people you love and friends and family and I hope you're eating some great food and just relaxing and not scrolling this crazy thing all day. | ||
| And I am thankful for you guys and appreciative for you guys and I wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving and we will be back on Monday. |
