Dave Rubin critiques Jon Stewart's sudden shift regarding Joe Biden's Hunter Biden pardon, exposing Democratic hypocrisy after breaking previous pledges. The segment analyzes reactions from Jake Tapper, Karine Jean-Pierre, and GOP strategist Shermichael Singleton, who accuse Democrats of losing credibility through continuous lies. Rubin expands to international leaders like Keir Starmer and Justin Trudeau reversing policies, alleges Obama pressured George Clooney against Biden, and condemns Gavin Newsom and Bernie Sanders for ideological normalization. Ultimately, the episode argues these tone shifts reflect a changing political culture under a potential Trump presidency, signaling a broader realignment in American discourse.

It's December 3rd, 2024. We are live streaming on Rumble and on YouTube.
I'm told that Locals is having a bit of an issue, so hopefully you're watching elsewhere.
We're going to work on that post-game show.
We've got the gremlins on the inside of the internet doing some things, and we hope...
That we will have a post-game show after the program today.
And we've got a fine show for you because there is all sorts of hypocrisy being exposed, not only from our politicians and Biden as it relates to this Hunter getting away with it, in essence, situation, the pardon.
And the media running cover.
And then we're going to show you that the Democrats who have been wrong about basically everything for the last couple of years are somehow starting to come around because they realize they're losing the culture and they're losing the narrative.
And the real question is, is any of it authentic or is it just the grift continuing, et cetera, et cetera.
I want to start, though, with Jon Stewart.
Jon Stewart, who we've played plenty of clips of over the years, As I've always said, my frustration with him is that he should have been just a good old-fashioned liberal, more in line with, say, a Bill Maher type, and not a crazy wokester.
And for whatever reason, he chose to go the crazy woke route with all the racism stuff and all the gender stuff and the whole thing.
He went all in on that.
And I would say then over the course of 20 years, he in many ways was the guy that could have sort of had the flag up there for like, hey, there are sane Democrats.
And he decided to just go all in on it instead.
And that thus kind of left us where we're at at the moment.
Anyway, post-election now, there's an interesting thing happening on the left.
Where there's an internal debate.
Do we go all in further, say the AOC route of the crazy town people and the wokesters, or is there any sane version of being a Democrat left and what do we do with that?
This Hunter Biden pardon has started to expose some of the fissures there because Joe obviously said he wasn't gonna pardon Hunter.
The entire media said, oh my God, that proves that he's such a statesman and a great man.
As I said yesterday, we can all judge someone.
If you had the power to pardon your son, regardless of what they did, would you do it?
There's an ethical and philosophical debate to have about that.
In any event, Jon Stewart went on The Daily Show, which I guess is not a daily show anymore.
It's on on Monday nights, or he only hosts on Monday nights or something like that.
And here he is exposing the Democrat hypocrisy.
And it's worth noting when someone on the left goes after their own, I know a little something about this, that maybe they deserve a little bit of cred.
So first, let's give the guys some cred for actually saying the truth here.
Be honest, the only reason why they went after Hunter the way they did, and I've talked to many federal prosecutors about this, is because he's the president's son.
People have to remember, the president has lost two children already, and he does not need to lose another one to more political witch hunts.
unidentified
The, you know, crowing from Republicans.
But we're talking about, you know, Donald Trump is a convicted felon who literally pardoned his daughter's father-in-law and just made him ambassador to France.
So for anyone that wants to clutch their pearls now, because he decided that he was going to pardon his son, I would say take a look in the mirror.
And I'll also give him credit for OK. Whether you're being dragged there or it's just to continue the career or get the clicks or whatever, you're actually saying what the right thing is.
And actually, I won't even do the cynical version of it.
And none of them, whether it's Swalwell or any of the CNN guys, they meant any of this.
Again, why isn't it?
Why is it that, you know, six months ago when Joe Biden said that he wasn't going to pardon Hunter, I don't even know that we even played that clip on this show, but I never would have been like, I believe him, because you would wait and see.
What, unfortunately, the media has done is just decided if the Democrats say something, they just repeat it as fact.
Thus, they always, because the Democrats basically lie about everything, they always get exposed for being fraudulent and ridiculous.
Here he continues talking about how they've gone from the no-pardon stance.
It was the moral high ground.
And that's what was so great about old Joe Biden.
Versus now they support it because something, something bowed to the party.
To everything that you guys were saying, if you hadn't made Hunter Biden not receiving a pardon the Mason-Dixon line of morality between Democrats and Republicans, there's a big gap between the law is the only thing that separates us from the animals and the monkey threw shit at me first!
Well, you know, the power exists for the president to show mercy for people I mean, we have an executive, and we have a judicial, and then a legislative, and then smoke bomb!
I interned at The Daily Show in 1999, right when Jon Stewart had just taken over from Craig Kilbourne, who was the former ESPN host who hosted the original Daily Show.
Most people don't remember that.
So anyway, it's nice to see something funny going on there.
And again, I'm not going to do the cynical version of this.
Jon, if you are waking up now, you did have a lot to do With the explosion of wokeness and the destruction of, I would say, like an even back and forth conversation in America, because you were sort of telling everybody, well, we've got a tweet.
We just have one example of it.
There were plenty, but this is from The Hill.
You know, about eight years ago, Jon Stewart, everybody who is a Nazi seems to love Trump.
So I'm actually not gonna belabor that point right now, but I think it's worth noting.
I'm just gonna put a pin in that, Jon.
However, if you continue to come around, I'll give credit where credit is due.
And I would also say to any of you that are watching this that are going, well, Dave, it doesn't even matter.
Like, he got everything wrong, and it doesn't matter that he's waking up now and we should always be leery of him.
You have a point, for sure, 100%.
I tweeted about that yesterday.
However, I would say his audience...
Is a bunch of lefties.
So the lefties that are not watching this show anymore, that might be watching that show, them starting to see the hypocrisy, even if it's five years too late and realize that they had something to do with all of this, and it may feel old and tired for the rest of us and annoying to some degree or whatever, it's still worth them hearing it and maybe eventually getting to their red pill moment.
Let's jump over to CNN because Jake Tapper is the one over there that everyone's very I can't believe any of y'all ever believed he wasn't going to pardon Hunter Biden.
First Lady Biden today defending her husband's decision to pardon his adult son, Hunter, after insisting for months and months and months he would not do so.
Beyond the pardon and beyond the lie about the pardon, President Biden is doing what he claimed he would not do.
He is undermining his own Justice Department.
And now it's President Biden, not his successor, President-elect Trump, who is blaming his own Department of Justice for being politicized, saying, quote, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice, unquote.
Today's special counsel David Weiss, who prosecuted Hunter Biden, pushed back on the president's justification for pardoning his son in a court filing, quote, There was none and never has been any evidence of vindictive or selective prosecution in this case, Weiss wrote.
There are, right now, plenty of officials at the U.S. Justice Department furious at President Biden for blaming them for doing their jobs to uphold the law against a lawbreaker, Hunter Biden.
All right, if we were titling today's show, it's credit where credit is due.
Jake Tapper, again, you got most of this stuff wrong.
You lied about Trump and pretended he was a criminal for years and a Nazi and all of those things.
But yes, you're calling out the lie, the Joe Biden original lie that he wouldn't pardon him.
You're calling out that he's now throwing his own Justice Department under the bus.
And you have the Justice Department responding, being like, no, this wasn't selective.
And think how insane, like, the argument that Biden's trying to make here.
It was That the Justice Department was like, we're selectively going after Hunter Biden.
It's Joe Biden's Department of Justice.
It doesn't even make any sense whatsoever.
Hunter Biden lied on a form as it relates to getting a gun.
He was smoking crack on video.
There were prostitutes, possibly underage.
There's so much stuff there.
And we can all have a debate about, again, what you would do as a father if you had the power to let your son or daughter off the hook, what we would all do.
But it is good to see, I suppose, that even CNN, when it's so damn obvious, has to call him out on the hypocrisy and the lies.
Like, the only time they'll do the right thing is when it is—it's sort of like, actually, the perfect example of it, of this nonsense, would be the debate, the big debate that Trump had with Biden, where immediately after the debate, the media finally admitted we were allowed to see what we had all seen before, which was that Biden was deeply mentally compromised.
This is the same thing.
It's like, they have no way around hiding it.
So I guess in that sense, Jake doesn't deserve credit.
But At least they're doing the lowest hanging fruit possible thing.
We will have more on how the administration is running cover for this nonsense in just a sec, but first let me talk to you about Preserve Gold.
Folks, we're living in unpredictable times with digital currencies on the rise, a whopping $35 trillion in national debt, and inflation still at a 40-year high.

You've got a guy like Jon Stewart, who again, who sort of walked us into a lot of this woke nonsense and the BS with this administration and ran cover for it and tried to take out Trump and we're all Nazis and all that, but I showed you two clips of him basically doing the right thing and I want to Make some room for a guy like him to do that.
And if you see the end of his, I assume that you've read his statement and you look at the end of that statement and he actually says that in the first line in the last paragraph.
Okay, why repeatedly say you're not going to and you do?
And secondarily, for the part of this country, half of it that doesn't support Biden, doesn't know him personally, doesn't get to have phone calls, and they're just looking at a system that seems like it only benefits the people who are in power.
It's a precedent for all of us to open our eyes because we've elected someone who is in a similar situation, who didn't have a drug problem, who knew what he was doing, who clearly stood and said, I can do this.
And he did it.
So I think, for many, many reasons, This is very different than any other situation that we have averaged out.
All right, let's keep going with the theme of today's show, which is credit where credit is due.
Alyssa, I know you get the cookie and a couple hundred grand and the pat on the head, but I will give you credit because you are making a distinction.
There is a distinction between what one might do for their child, if given the power, and then the outright lie.
The fact that whoopee, does someone need to like literally Google the word lie and show it to be whoopee?
A lie would be if you say, I'm not going to pardon my son Hunter, and then you pardon your son Hunter, that would be a lie.
You might have your reasons for it.
If Biden was in better cognitive shape, he might be able to explain it more properly.
Now he's throwing his Department of Justice under the bus.
But just admit it's a lie!
But this, when you live in service to something other than the truth, you will come off as a complete nutbag.
And that's what's happening over The View on any given day.
Speaking of the things that are happening on The View on any given day, Sunny Hostin, who chimed in there at the end, as you know, she is a lawyer and she's also a racist and she says crazy things all the time.
And once again, she was forced, while live on air, to read a legal note.
I gotta tell you, if you're an ABC exec and you're not watching The View right now, which is on at this very moment, and you're watching The Rubin Report, maybe it's a commercial break, you tuned in over here to see what's actually happening in the world instead of what's going on there.
I want to make a plea to you, people.
Never fire that woman.
I know that you're looking at the thing and you're trying to figure out, okay, maybe Joy's gonna age out or we gotta get rid of Whoopi because she's insane or...
Whatever's going on.
But just keep Sonny Hostin on.
Just if for no other reason than for her having with that anger, that hatred that she holds for all humanity in her eyes when she has to read those legal notes, it is just perfect.
I want to make it an official Rubin Report statement.
We will replay every legal note that Sonny Hostin ever has to put on The View.
It's just fantastic.
Let's jump over to CNN. There's a guy by the name of Sher Michael Singleton over there who I think is fairly decent from what I can tell.
And here he is calling out the absurdity from the Democrats that we are seeing around this lie and, well, distortion and whatever else they might want to call it.
You can go all the way back to 2022 when they were asked this question and the White House continuously, consecutively lied over and over and over again.
They could have simply said to MJ's point, to Chuck's point, the president isn't going to put his thumb on the scales of justice.
He's going to wait.
He hasn't made a decision yet.
Most people would have expected that.
They would have respected that.
I think most people, to your point, Chuck, believe if it was my child, I probably would have done the same thing.
The question here, the burden on the White House, I would argue, is the continuous lies.
You said that you were better than this other guy.
You criticized the other guy for all of these things, and now your DOJ is committing witch hunts and this is now politicized?
Well, you appointed Merrick Garland.
You can't blame Republicans for that.
And I can only imagine, as I've talked to a lot of Republicans, if this were Donald Trump, and I know people are going to give him a lot of criticism for the part he's already given, but if this were him and Don Jr. or Eric Trump or Ivanka, I can only imagine what the headlines would have been.
And I will say, if you're Democrats and you're trying to walk this straight line that we're somehow better than Republicans because we care more about the future and state of this democracy, I think that's trash now.
Do they consider him a GOP strategist or whatever?
But either way, the point is, what he just said there was right.
He sat at the table and said something true on CNN, which only happens every now and again, right?
Usually through that guy, Scott Jennings.
You guys cannot pretend to be more moral.
You cannot pretend to be the party of law and order.
You can't pretend to be the party of truth or anything else.
And more than anything else, perhaps, it exposes the fact that Joe Biden, who was brought in as old Joe, who wasn't going to be a crazy radical or anything else...
He ushered in all of the wokeness, and he's now attacking his own Department of Justice.
And yes, sure, Michael Singleton is a GOP strategist.
So there's a ton of interesting things happening with the Democrats right now.
And as I've argued, in some sense, it doesn't matter what happens to the party.
Like, just let them be completely destroyed and let's keep wide-tenting the Republican side of things and let's bring in all the sane liberals and all of that stuff.
But we should acknowledge it's still a party.
It can always reconstitute itself.
And we will see what happens between this fight of whoever is sort of sane and the true progressive wokesters and Marxists and everything else.
But in some sense, This was always going to happen, right?
This intersectional alliance of people with competing interests and who had to decide who hates America the most and who wants to cut off the most genitals.
Like, this thing could not hold forever.
So by them losing this election where they kicked out a sitting president and then brought in somebody that was not qualified to any extent whatsoever and not even a real person in Kamala Harris, it has left them completely exposed.
So there's a super interesting article on Radar Online right now, and I'm going to read a little bit from Owen Gregorian about it.
George Clooney furious with Obama for pressuring him to push Biden's dropout prior to the election.
Report, Hayden Cunningham, the post-millennial.
George is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pal.
Actor and prominent Democratic donor George Clooney is reportedly angered by backlash following Vice President Kamala Harris's defeat in the 2024 presidential election.
Clooney allegedly feels he's been unfairly blamed for the outcome after being pressured by former President Barack Obama to lobby for Harris as the Democrat nominee, according to Radar Online.
A source familiar with the matter reportedly told the outlet George is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pal.
Clooney had been a vocal advocate for President Joe Biden to step aside during the 2024 election cycle.
In a New York Times op-ed published over the summer, Clooney expressed concerns about Biden's mental acuity and the Democratic Party's election odds, saying the left would not win in November with this president.
Eleven days later, Biden announced he would not seek re-election, ultimately endorsing Harris as the party nominee.
The source reportedly told the outlet that it was Obama who encouraged Clooney to push for Biden's withdrawal.
As Obama feared the optics of publicly calling on his former Vice President to exit the race.
But since Harris' crushing defeat to President-elect Donald Trump, many Democrats have placed the blame on Clooney to vent their frustration, leading the actor to feel unfairly targeted.
Obama and Clooney have been tight for years, and George became Barack's surrogate in leading the charge for Joe to step away, the source said.
Barack knew he would look like a traitor if he publicly called for Joe to be cut loose, and now he's trying to walk away from it all.
George feels duped and vows he's not going to be anyone's political waterboy anymore, the source added.
Clooney's activism has played a large role in Democratic politics.
During the campaign, he hosted a fundraiser that raised $28 million for Biden's reelection campaign, the most for the party from a single event in history, according to CNN. But now Clooney is bracing for criticism from the left and mockery from the right.
George feels he's stepped up and took a bullet for the team, and now everyone's complaining about the bloodbath, the source said, per the outlet.
Lots of celebrities like Beyonce were on the campaign trail pumping up Kamala, but George became the face of Hollywood liberals by directly calling for Biden to end his campaign and throw the whole process into chaos.
I mean, guys, look, there's obviously some conjecture there and who are the sources and all those things, but doesn't that all read as true, right?
What have I been saying this entire time?
Who's the Palpatine in the story?
Somebody orchestrated them getting rid of Obama's Somebody had to get the team together, Pelosi and Kamala Harris and Chuck Schumer.
Somebody had to orchestrate all of it.
I believe that is Barack Obama.
That article implies that it is Barack Obama.
We know that they had to put the only lever of power that they had over Joe Biden, as compromised as he is, would have been to say, Kamala...
He's going to pull the 25th Amendment on you, and that would be bad, so step aside.
And we know that Joe Biden was not happy about stepping aside.
We've played you those clips where he went on The View a couple weeks back or two months ago or so and basically said he didn't want to step aside and felt that he would have beat Trump.
And now it's all being exposed.
So again, eventually the truth does come out.
You also remember that video, we showed it a couple times, where when Clooney did that fundraiser, where they raised $28 million for this sham of a campaign that they ended up handing to Kamala, where Clooney and Biden and Barack are on stage, and Biden is stuck, frozen, doesn't know where to go, and Obama, the way he puts his arm around him and ushers him off, and it's just very clear that Obama has been in charge this whole time.
You just have that information in your brain just sitting there like that?
My tequila comes out in January, by the way.
We were trying to get it out in December, right before the holidays.
It's been tough with the exports, import, export.
Okay, fine.
You guys all deserve it.
I would liken this, if I could make a prequel reference here, I would liken this to Barack Obama is the Palpatine and George Clooney basically is the Count Dooku.
George Clooney sort of was a good guy and he got taken aside by the bad guy and then did some bad things and they're not happy about it.
Speaking of people that do bad things that have been portrayed as good guys in their careers, John Kerry over the last couple days ago, he's really freaking out right now because I think one of the things as we're watching the institutions get, they're gonna be hacked away at through Doge and everything that Elon and Rebecca are gonna do and we're gonna see so much nonsense and waste exposed, One of the other things I think we're going to see exposed is that the climate change movement has been largely an absolute farce.
And John Kerry, who as the years go by, looks more and more like a tree.
I think we have an image of John Kerry looking more and more like a tree over the years.
He's morphing into Treebeard from The Lord of the Rings.
And that's not a shot at Treebeard or the good tree people.
He just looks like a tree.
What can you do?
You're going to see this man go increasingly hysterical as he loses power.
And here he is saying that we are on the brink of a climate emergency, this is just in the last couple days, and they better get you to behave, you naughty little people!
The climate is always changing and people should...
Take that into account, I suppose, when they, I don't know, say, buy a 30-acre estate on Martha's Vineyard where Barack Obama lives.
He should be thinking about that and worried, you know, about his property.
Okay, that's fine.
And we're going to get people to behave.
This motherfucker has put more CO2 into the atmosphere than probably every single one of us watching this combined.
I have taken two private flights in my entire life.
I hope one day to be wealthy enough to take private flights everywhere.
Commercial flying sucks.
But he is putting out more of the stuff that he thinks you better not partake in than any of us can.
On top of the fact that he married Heinz, he's got big ketchup money.
This man is an awful human being, but he wants you to behave.
And I assure you, when you're eating slop out of a bucket, that he will still be eating his filet mignon and foie gras.
Speaking of hypocrisy on the left, it knows no bounds.
And Bernie Sanders, who, you know, we don't talk about him much anymore, and I don't know that there's anyone who deserves more scorn for what he did to America, because even though he wasn't part of, like, the crazy race movement, Part of what they've done over the last decade.
One of the things that he did, or the primary thing that he did, was he normalized socialism.
He normalized the idea that, oh, taking from someone else to do what you want with their money is somehow good.
We used to call that envy or greed or something like that, but he somehow tricked young people into thinking that was good.
Well, here he was on a podcast, and he's a millionaire with three houses, and he was asked about how he made his money.
Well, even though I've spent a career trying to destroy capitalism and I've got three houses and everything else, I sold best-selling books.
Of course, I guess if I thought about it for a little bit longer, I'd realize that selling best-selling books and getting them on the New York Times best-selling books...
Speaking of man I don't like, Gavin Newsom is the governor of California, a state that I fled three years, almost to the week, actually.
I believe I landed on December 17th, if I'm not mistaken, in 2021. That will be a day of celebration when we get to it.
He's a horrible human being, if he's even a human being, I'm not quite sure.
And I thought it would be interesting to show you because we're talking about their lives and how some of them are waking up because their reality has become so counter to what's happening culturally that they're waking up.
Gavin Newsom is clearly going to go all in on the evil.
And I want to jump, before I show you what he's doing now, I want to jump to right before the election.
He went on Marshawn Lynch's podcast and listened to him talking about Kamala and what was going on.
Soul-crushing, gooey, awful, sleazy lie out of that douchebag.
Now this script is written by the American people, Marshawn.
This script is written by people that get out there.
unidentified
Am I considered an American citizen?
Because I changed my mind all the time.
Sometimes I want a cheeseburger, then I might want some tacos, or one day I might want me something exotic, then I might want something with a little bit of, you feel me, little kitchen in the back.
Alright, the main point there about the cheeseburgers you want one day and the tacos you want another day, good point.
The reason I'm showing you that is that what he was trying to sell us right before the election was that he knew what was going to happen and the script was all there and everyone loves her and look at the crowds she draws and the money she brings in, but he's nothing other than a liar across the The board.
That is what he is.
And now what is he left with?
Well, California, which in some, you know, they call it the People's Republic of California or the Communist Country of California, whatever it is.
Well, now that Donald Trump is going to be president and is going to deport people and is going to make America once again a country of law and order, which isn't racist or Nazi-like or anything else, Newsom is now preparing a giant Legal team.
He's going to push the California legislature to make sure that Donald Trump cannot do any of those mean, i.e.
As it relates to the special session, that's a special session to focus on litigation, preparation.
As it relates to the reality, it's not a theoretical exercise.
We know what happened the last time Donald Trump was president.
He vandalized our progress.
He vandalized our programs.
He broke the law.
Courts adjudicated that.
It's not an assertion.
He did certain things that were unwound at the agency level that attacked this state.
And so we are preparing for that.
That was the whole point, is the whole point of the special session.
We're not going to be caught flat-footed and we want to be prepared as early as January 20th and that's why the special session is important.
We also have a brand new legislature coming in, a lot of new people, and this will be an opportunity to engage and convene, talk about the previous 122 lawsuits.
Again, we reacted To the assault wasn't a proactive litigation strategy.
It was a reactive strategy.
I hope there's not one lawsuit with Trump administration.
Work more closely, Democratic Governor, with Donald Trump than I did during COVID. Same time, he took a million billion dollars of your high-speed rail money.
Same time, he tried to take your crime grants.
At the same time, he tried to vandalize most of the progress of the last half century as we were getting along.
So again, no one's naive.
I've been there.
We have the receipts.
We know exactly what he intends to do.
He's been very honest about that.
And there's nothing to suggest the last two weeks that he's not even more hell-bent on doing it.
But you don't even have to care about the subtext of too much what he said.
I mean, really, even just watching that, if you were to mute that and just watch him, it's all so scripted and inauthentic.
Nothing is real about that guy.
But basically what he is saying there is that when Donald Trump comes in and tries to deport illegals, many of whom are bringing drugs in and crime and rape and all of that stuff, that he is basically trying to build an apparatus within his state to stop Donald Trump from that he is basically trying to build an apparatus within his state And I would say, again, as someone that...
It's just under three years ago that I moved to Florida from California.
I would say, if you're a Californian, good luck with that.
You've made your bed with this guy.
They seemingly, while some Democrats clearly are like, okay, we better play ball with Trump, or we better realize that we really have lost the narrative and the culture, he's just going all in.
That is what Gavin Newsom is doing, and if you live there, unfortunately, you're gonna be part of it.
I tweeted this out, which the people seem to like.
When the deportations begin, we should send this lizard man back to his home planet.
And then, of course, we wanted to show you this.
So, you know, Gavin Newsom, he's very slick, and I always tell you the suits and everything.
We found a picture of Gavin Newsom without makeup.
And, well, there you go.
It is a skinned face, attached, and lizard neck, and the whole thing.

Okay, so as you guys know, when Trump won the presidency last time, eight years ago, he didn't have the culture, right?
He was a counter-culture president, right?
If you were a Trump supporter, even when he was president, the media would call you a Nazi and run on a red hat and you're evil and okay, fine.
What's interesting now is that Trump is going to have the culture.
I think that gives his opportunity.
Not only does he have all these qualified people around him, but also the culture has shifted so there will be more momentum behind the things that he's trying to do to...
Now, we just showed you Gavin Newsom, who clearly is going to be all in on trying to stop that.
And good luck if you live in California.
But I want to show you another Democrat who I think is in some ways almost as evil as Gavin.
I mean, he's the standard bearer of evil.
But Kathy Hochul in New York, she has been awful on everything.
Absolutely every policy.
She's ushered in the woke stuff.
She's made it a sanctuary state.
She has incentivized criminality.
All of the horrible stuff, which has led to about 500,000 people leaving New York since COVID. Well, here she is now clearly realizing something has shifted.
People are sick of the crime.
They're sick of the drugs on the streets and everything else.
And suddenly she's against the illegals and she's for deportations.
I would say this, our immigration system is woefully broken.
It's been broken for decades.
There was an opportunity to make meaningful change that the Republicans in the House of Representatives killed, and they should be held accountable for that.
But we need to fix the border, fix the system.
But I'll tell you this, those who come here legally, we want to get them jobs.
I have 460,000 open jobs in the state of New York.
I want them to get the proper work permits.
I want them to keep their temporary protective status, if that's what they have.
I want to make sure that they're part of contributing to society while they're here.
That's separate from people who are criminals.
Someone breaks the law, I'll be the first one to call up ICE and say, get them out of here.
So there is a difference in categories of individuals.
unidentified
So just to be clear, are you supportive or not supportive of deporting undocumented immigrants whose only crime is either crossing the border or overseeing the border?
If they're here with legal papers, like they came and they're seeking asylum, like this 224,000 people who came to New York, they're here legally in search of asylum.
And that process will play out.
But there are other people who commit crimes or are known to be criminals before they arrived here.
When those are identified, I'll be the first one to help get rid of them.
Okay, look, she, this is the credit where credit is due show.
She's not great, and she's obfuscating in that last answer, and it's like, the people who are claiming asylum, it doesn't, just because you were claiming asylum doesn't mean you deserve asylum.
She then doesn't really answer the question.
Like, if you come here, and even if you didn't do something criminal, but you don't have papers, should you get kicked out?
There's nothing great about her.
She also, Basically lies about the bipartisan border deal.
We didn't need a bipartisan deal.
She was like, the Republicans in the House will pay for that.
We didn't need any of that.
We just needed Joe Biden to enforce the laws that already existed.
So I'm not giving her too much credit here.
But what I would say is the fact that she is suddenly like, if you are illegal and you are a criminal, you got to go.
They wouldn't even say that weeks ago.
And if Kamala Harris was president right now, they'd never be saying it.
So again, that's the theme of the show.
The rubber is meeting the road with these people.
They realize they've lied and done everything wrong.
It's being exposed.
The culture is changing.
And then we are dragging a bunch of dullards to home base, basically.
Things have gotten so obvious that they're like, I guess we are going to have to.
By the way, I love when they say she's got 460,000 open jobs.
Now, I'll take her word for that.
I don't know if that is true.
I would love to know how many people in New York State get unemployment benefits every week.
Have you thought about maybe, instead of just writing those people a check, helping get them back in the workforce?
Also, is it just that you just want immigrants here to work jobs that nobody else wants, knowing those jobs are going to be replaced by automation soon enough, and that's going to create a whole secondary set of problems?
But I know Democrats aren't very good about thinking.
They're not even good about thinking about first-order problems, much less second, third, We're good to go.
The city that never sleeps.
The dream of the world.
The greatest city maybe in the history of the world for so many decades.
The dream of everything, right?
Like your great-grandparents or whatever it is came through Ellis Island, hopefully legally, and then made it there.
And then it was better for their children and better for their...
Like New York freaking city, man.
They have 59,000 criminal illegals, 1,000 gang members.
Go to New York City, and if you can walk around New York City, walk around Times Square for a half hour, and if you can get out of Times Square without being high because the whole place smells like weed, I will be impressed.
I really will be impressed.
But of course, it's not just New York, and it's not just blue states, and even the United States that has had this ridiculously insane illegal immigration problem.
Here's Keir Starmer, who is the absolutely disastrous Prime Minister of the UK. And the UK goes through Prime Ministers faster than, faster than, give me something, faster than...
Angela Merkel, she admitted it was a freaking disaster.
Look what has happened to France.
But here, Keir Starmer, I will challenge you, dear Keir.
If you think that it has been a disaster and your borders have been overrun and your culture is suffering and you have a huge problem because there are literal jihadists calling for the destruction, not just of that pesky little Jewish state halfway across the world, but for your own monarchy right where you live.
If you're concerned about that stuff, then might I ask that you call a certain orange man over in West Palm Beach and ask him how he's going to do the deportations and then ask him if he has a Tom Homan type that he could send over to the UK and deal with this nonsense.
Because if you really believe that there was a plan to destroy your country and that open borders are no good and that you're struggling, and all of Western Europe is struggling, ironically, the countries that aren't struggling are Eastern European countries that kept their borders, Hungary, Poland, etc., But if you believe what you're saying, as bad as you've been, then you're gonna start deporting.
You might have to deport the mayor of London.
That's gonna get complex.
But you people have ruined everything, and I know you have no plans to fix it.
That's the problem.
There's another horrible guy up north from us.
His name is Justin Trudeau, and he just came down to Mar-a-Lago a couple days ago, and Trump smacked him around a little bit.
And now he's already changing his tune when it comes to immigration and a series of other things, including tariffs and trade and everything else.
So I want to move on and talk about your home country.
We have Justin Trudeau who came out and starting to realize, if you don't mind, I do this, that there's a little problem with illegal immigration in his country and it's overwhelming everything.
Well, he's changing his tone because the policies that he put in place, which demolished the Canadian immigration system through the borders wide open, upending decades of effective immigration policy in Canada, have caused a catastrophic crisis in the country.
And now you could see that he was blaming that on educational institutions and bad corporate actors.
And that's exactly typical of him and his 14-year-old mentality.
Everything that's gone wrong on the immigration front in Canada is 100% attributable to Justin Trudeau and his pack of demented minions.
So now it's gone so badly in Canada that he has no choice but to reverse course.
And then to see him flailing around to find someone to blame is exactly as pathetic as you'd expect from someone like him.
It is similar that they both flew open the borders, they denied it was a problem, and now they can't deny it, and they're trying to save their political fortunes.
Starring Justin Trudeau, and it's called Justin Trudeau and His Pack of Demented Minions.
And it's Justin, and he's singing, and my demented minions, and they could be midgets maybe, and there's a bunch of midgets, and they're dancing around, and I'm Justin Trudeau, and everybody come into my country, call for jihad.
I'll go dancing at a concert while they burn down Montreal.
*singing* Yes, Jordan, you're right.
Justin Trudeau did this.
He largely destroyed his country.
And to kill me, to your question, why is he changing his tone?
He's changing his tone because, again, there's an orange man two hours north of me who is laying down the law.
And Trudeau will go back to being the bitch that he is.
And ironically, when he's Trump's bitch, that will set things right for Canada.
A little bit more on Canada because Peter Doocy, who is one of the few actual journalists in...
Should I do a little more of the...
Peter Doocy, who is one of the actual journalists in America over at Fox News, here he is reporting about a little...
And tonight we're getting some new details about that Trump-Trudeau dinner from two people who were at the table.
We are told that when Trudeau told President-elect Trump that new tariffs would kill the Canadian economy, Trump joked to him that if Canada can't survive without ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100 billion a year, then maybe Canada should become the 51st state and Trudeau then maybe Canada should become the 51st state and Trudeau could become its governor.
That's Trump through a joke saying something very true.
We're getting screwed on our trade deal with you guys on top of the fact that you're letting people through the border and you've, through your own immigration problem, your own open borders in your own country.
We don't even know who's coming through our Canadian border.
We're always talking about our Mexican border, but we have a problem up there as well.
But basically, if you guys wanna screw us on trade and on immigration and everything else, well, okay.
Maybe you could screw us, but we'll just bring you in and you'll be part of the United States.
Now, it's a joke, but the point is, what he has already, through one meeting at Mar-a-Lago, gotten Trudeau to do is change course.
And that is all it takes, guys.
All of the shit we have been going through for a decade.
Has been because of weak American leadership.
The entire world just wants us to lead.
Not nation build and blow everybody off the earth and everything else and tell everybody how to live.
Just lead.
Somebody is going to lead the world.
I would prefer it be the United States than, I don't know, say China or something else.
And if you wanna see what leadership looks like, Donald Trump put this post on Truth Social yesterday.
And man, this, if you want like a bumper sticker, America is back, baby.
Listen to this.
Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire world in the Middle East.
But it's all talk and no action.
Please let this truth serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20th, 2025, the date that I proudly assume office as the President of the United States, there will be all hell to pay in the Middle East, And for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against humanity, those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied history of the United States of America.
Release the hostages now.
Guys, that's all we had to do on October 8th, and this thing would have been over.
All Joe Biden had to do was call Qatar and say, your leaders of Hamas are right there at the Mandarin Oriental.
We're going to blow you up.
That's not because you want war, but peace through strength.
That's the point.
And mark my words, I don't know how many of those hostages are left.
I don't know that anyone knows how many of them are left.
But Trump doing what he did yesterday, putting that statement out...
That signal makes it to Gaza.
That signal, well, they've already kicked.
We finally, I guess we, it's not even we, Qatar has kicked out the leaders of Hamas who now went to Turkey, and Turkey is somehow an ally of ours.
But putting that aside, the point is that's what we can do.
When we have true leadership, we can suddenly have trade deals that make sense.
We can have foreign policy that makes sense.
We can have economic policy that makes sense.
And gosh darn it, we're only about 50 days away from doing it.
To bring us home here, as you guys know, since the election, I've been talking about how this was really the election of the war on reality and how many people were going to be blue-pilled and NPCs and watching CNN and MSNBC and believing it was true versus how many of us were online and for however messy it is that we're seeing things a little more clearly one way or another.
And that now has trickled up.
So I want to show you this clip.
I think we've shown it to you twice before.
But this is video of CNN admitting that ex-Twitter now represents a better ideological makeup of the U.S. than any other social media platform.
The party ID among those who regularly use X slash Twitter for news.
Back in 2022, 65% of those who regularly use Twitter slash X for news were Democrats.
Just 31% were Republicans.
Look at where we are today.
Just a completely different picture.
Now it's basically split between Democrats at 48% Republicans at 47%.
And what I should note, Mr. Berman, is this now, this new overall makeup, matches the overall electorate far better.
So yes, he's not as popular.
Yes, Twitter slash X perhaps is not as popular, but it's a much different platform, one that more represents Elon Musk's, let's say, political instincts, and he is now a far wealthier man.
All right, so the reason that I'm showing you that clip again is because everything that we've shown you on this show today about these lefties that have gotten everything wrong that are somehow coming around, well, the reason they're coming around is because Donald Trump is going to be president.
And why is Donald Trump going to be president?
Well, it is in large part because of you.
It is because of the people online who are watching podcasts and getting information in different ways and reaching out to people and sitting across from people that maybe you wouldn't have sat across from five years ago and that led to the wide tent movement and now we even have the culture and that is absolutely beautiful.
So I thought a nice way Of ending today's show is with a video from 14 years ago.
Andrew Breitbart talking about the corruption in the media and how they had, even back then, 14 years ago, basically everything backwards.
unidentified
We are the majority in this country.
And the mainstream media...
The mainstream media has used smoke and mirrors and those funny clown mirrors In order to create the perception that the minority is the majority, and the majority is not just the minority,
but a bad, racist, homophobic, all those buzzwords that they learned in their freshman orientation class at Wesleyan, are used as weapons to try to destroy you and to intimidate you to not speak up and to speak your mind.
and your days of doing this are over.
It's not your business model that sucks, it's you that sucks.
*crowd cheers* It's not your business model that sucks.
And that's basically what I would say to CNN right now.
That's what I would say to MSNBC. And that's also why you're now seeing some people I've mentioned on this show, suddenly change their tune because they're realizing they're going to literally be out of business.
They will be out of a job unless they regulate.
And what we want to do is welcome them in, but also be wary of their intentions, right?
And is it authentic when they're coming around or is it just a way of survival, right?
Because the machine always finds a way You can't beat City Hall, right?
That's the phrase, and I don't fundamentally believe that's true.
I believe that David can beat Goliath.
I believe, as I've said, that we are about to enter, if Trump does this right, which I think he will, like an 80s-style revolution and reignition of America that is just going to be magically wonderful.
Andrew Bipart, even though he was a little off on the timing, I think was right about the ideas.
I have just been informed that Locals is back up.
Sorry about the little technical staffu.
So there will be a postgame show, reubenreport.locals.com, if you want to join us.
And I'll leave you with the little Justin Trudeau doing this and the midgets dancing around and the immigration.
