| The founder of TheUANDRO! | ||
| All right, everybody, I'm Dave Rubin. | ||
| This is The Rubin Report. | ||
| It is January 7th, 2024. We survived the anniversary of January 6th. | ||
| Hallelujah! | ||
| We are live streaming, as always, on Rumble, on YouTube, on Locals. | ||
| Share, subscribe, tap the notification bell so that the algorithm might, it might, send you our videos. | ||
| That would be nice. | ||
| And I'm very happy to be back this year. | ||
| Show was solid yesterday. | ||
| Tinkering and fiddling with a few things that we're doing here. | ||
| And as I mentioned yesterday, a couple big announcements coming in the next few weeks. | ||
| But today we are diving right back into it. | ||
| And I did not feel the need yesterday to harp on the anniversary. | ||
| Of January 6th, because it largely was just sort of a media, you could almost call it like a fictitious media imaginary made-up story, really, as to what happened on that day. | ||
| But of course, the media reaction to it has been rather insane. | ||
| The media reaction to the anniversary, I should say. | ||
| And Sunny Hostin, we're going to start you with a clip from The View. | ||
| Sunny Hostin just lost her mind. | ||
| We'll show you some sanity at us. | ||
| CNN, this guy Scott Jennings, who we've been throwing to. | ||
| And really what we're going to focus on today is that the Trump effect is here already. | ||
| You know, Donald Trump will not be president for another two weeks from today. | ||
| I will be in D.C. for the inauguration, and we're going to be doing a couple shows there and a few other things. | ||
| But the Trump effect, the worldwide change where people are not only in government across the world, but in tech, in corporations, there is a worldwide movement to un-ice. | ||
| Let's say the censorship that we've been part of to start doing things that are, say, a little more in line with capitalism and free trade and open up markets and all of these things. | ||
| And we're seeing it happen. | ||
| So obviously yesterday the election was officially certified. | ||
| Donald Trump will be president. | ||
| Old Joe Biden, the man with dementia, who they kicked out of the Oval Office, he gave out a couple of awards yesterday. | ||
| We'll get to that, too. | ||
| We have a bit on Justin Trudeau, who did step down as the head of the Liberal Party in Canada. | ||
| And then we've got something positive for you at the end. | ||
| So let's just dive right in. | ||
| The View, it's another year, and they didn't take any of my advice in last year. | ||
| Yes, they're still at it. | ||
| So Sonny Hostin, and many of you know I have a debate going with Megyn Kelly as who's the most racist, awful person on television. | ||
| Is it Sonny Hostin or Joy Reid over on MSNBC? I leave that to you, the viewer. | ||
| But here she is comparing January 6th. | ||
| To World War II, the Holocaust, slavery. | ||
| I think we need to find moral clarity. | ||
| You know, in this country. | ||
| And I just remember after January 6th, you had someone like Mitch McConnell placing the blame on January 6th where it belonged, squarely on Donald Trump's shoulders. | ||
| And then you started seeing people backtrack that and losing their moral center. | ||
| You had Condoleezza Rice, I believe, on this very show saying, you know, we need to move on from January 6th. | ||
| I say no. | ||
| You don't move on because January 6th was an atrocity. | ||
| It was one of the worst moments in American history. | ||
| When you think about the worst moments in American history, you know, like World War II, things that happened, you know, like the Holocaust, chattel slavery, we need to never forget. | ||
| Because past becomes prologue if you forget any race. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| She's retarded. | ||
| And I'll get to that in just a second. | ||
| But first, I have to issue two corrections very quickly. | ||
| First off, Connor just informed me that at the top of the show, I said it was 2024. It's 2025. Welcome to the party, pal. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Very nice. | ||
| And another correction that I have to lay out is yesterday on the show. | ||
| We were talking about the death of Dustin Diamond, Screech from Saved by the Bell, as it pertains to Vivek, having mentioned him in a tweet. | ||
| And I said that Dustin Diamond, the legendary Screech of the 80s classic childhood Saturday morning sitcom, Saved by the Bell, I said that he probably died of an overdose. | ||
| It turns out that he died of a very aggressive form of lung cancer. | ||
| So you can put the corrections in. | ||
| Two corrections right up top. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| And maybe if there's some way I can donate to the... | ||
| For the estate of Dustin Diamond or something to clean that up. | ||
| As it pertains to Sunny Hostin, she is so profoundly awful that I'm running out of ways to analyze her properly without punching a clown, and we don't know where the clown went missing over Christmas. | ||
| We don't know where the inflatable clown is. | ||
| January 6th... | ||
| We can all say what we want about it. | ||
| And Donald Trump said, go and be peaceful. | ||
| And maybe there was too much talk about the election being fixed. | ||
| Or maybe not. | ||
| Genuinely, I mean this. | ||
| Every one of us can have our own feelings on what happened that day. | ||
| And was the CIA and the FBI involved? | ||
| And were they moving barricades out of the way and letting people in? | ||
| And that there were these grandmothers literally wandering through the Capitol. | ||
| And we can also contrast that with what we see happen all the time now with these Hamas jihad rallies that go to... | ||
| The Capitol or outside of the White House climbing the fence or destroying our cities. | ||
| Like, we can all pick and choose what we feel about any of these things. | ||
| But, lady, you... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trying to be nicer. | |
| Sonny. | ||
| To compare that day. | ||
| To the Holocaust. | ||
| The Holocaust also happened largely in Germany and in Europe, right? | ||
| It wasn't here in America that we were killing our own citizens. | ||
| We stopped a greater Holocaust, right? | ||
| We fought a just war in World War II. I know you're just not that bright and even getting that across. | ||
| But even for you, Sonny, who is so racist and hates white people so much and you're so... | ||
| Proud of your skin color. | ||
| Like, to compare January 6th, the few hours of January 6th with the broken glass and whatever, to compare that to slavery. | ||
| Slavery. | ||
| People who were bought and sold and traded as if they were cows or chickens that never sensed or tasted freedom. | ||
| The very thing that this country was founded upon. | ||
| That's the stain on our country that we're still trying to shake off to this day, which we've done better than any other country in the history of the world, but I know you don't care about that either. | ||
| But it's just profoundly absurd. | ||
| And just remember, they put her in that chair to say stupid shit. | ||
| They don't put her in that chair. | ||
| They put her in that chair so she says stupid shit like that so other people talk about her. | ||
| That really is it. | ||
| Nobody believes anything she says. | ||
| The fact that they even, she says it was the worst moment in American history or one of the worst moments. | ||
| And then they go, oh my God, it's the worst moment. | ||
| Just absolutely awful. | ||
| But the brain rot. | ||
| And that's what it is with these people. | ||
| It's so deep. | ||
| The censorship machine. | ||
| And everything else, it's so narrowed, their ability to think straight, that they genuinely, Sonny, I believe it, Sonny thinks she's the good guy in all of this. | ||
| And Nancy Pelosi thinks that she's the good guy in all of this. | ||
| Here's Nancy Pelosi talking about Republicans and election denial. | ||
| Well, again, thank you for the opportunity to talk about this because the denial that they had about the election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Which was what they were acting upon. | |
| And the denial that they've had since then about what happened on January 6th is just appalling. | ||
| They want to revise history. | ||
| And they just can't. | ||
| We were going to show you guys a compilation video that we've shown a million times before of Hillary Clinton calling Donald Trump an illegitimate president. | ||
| All of the twice. | ||
| The two impeachments, claiming that he was a Russian puppet, all of them saying that the election shouldn't be certified. | ||
| You guys get it already, so we don't have to do that. | ||
| We don't have to show that to you. | ||
| But this absurdity that still, even now, they're going after this nonsense. | ||
| And by the way, years from now, we'll, you know... | ||
| Truth is a time-release pill. | ||
| We will find out more information about all of the mail-in ballots and how Joe Biden got 84 million votes and everything else. | ||
| I don't need to rehash that right now at the beginning of the year. | ||
| But it's just, I really wanted to just show you that it's sort of the disgusting nature of what Joy reads, of what doesn't even matter, what Sonny Hostin said, that they're interchangeable. | ||
| It's the disgusting nature of that. | ||
| And then just how that lie just gets pushed out further through people like... | ||
| Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| But now let's show you Joy Reid because she's lost whatever was left of her mind. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey guys, it's Joy. | |
| So a lot of you guys have been asking on the socials what my earrings are. | ||
| And yes, they are fabulous. | ||
| Here they are. | ||
| They are elephant earrings. | ||
| And the elephant is significant for a couple of reasons. | ||
| Of course, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated symbol is the elephant. | ||
| But the significance of me wearing them today is that elephants never And today is January 6th, 2025, four years since the January 6th insurrection. | ||
| And we, Americans who actually care about democracy and the real peaceful transfer of power, you know, not coups and insurrections, we will never forget. | ||
| That is the significance of the earrings today. | ||
| Lady, if there had been a coup or an insurrection, your guy Joe Biden would not have become president. | ||
| So take the earrings off, put back your wig, and go do your silly job at the televised mental institution. | ||
| But they've just pushed all of their people. | ||
| Like, there are people that watch that shit that are like, my god, this woman is edgy. | ||
| Find me, somebody find me an elephant pair of earrings, please! | ||
| Over on CNN, Scott Jennings, who's been doing a bang-up job. | ||
| He's a GOP strategist, and he goes on there with a bunch of crazy people, and he just kind of cleans up their mess. | ||
| Here he is actually telling the truth about what most Americans feel about January 6th. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is why we probably won't be able to move on from January 6th. | |
| You're my friend, but you... | ||
| I know you're smarter than that. | ||
| I know that you're smarter than comparing what happened. | ||
| The country has already moved on. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's everybody today that's having a meltdown that hasn't moved on. | ||
| Trump keeps bringing it up! | ||
| Yeah, and that's the simple point. | ||
| I know that wasn't so, you know, incredible or anything, but the point is we've all moved on, so we're not going to do this again after tomorrow. | ||
| I mean, I guess... | ||
| In roughly 366 days, 56 days or whatever, I'll address some simple thing again as they play their nonsensical anniversary stuff. | ||
| But the point here is we've moved on, and it's just another indicator. | ||
| That's really why I'm doing this segment. | ||
| It's just another indicator. | ||
| We've moved past their ideas of censorship. | ||
| We'll have more on that in a second. | ||
| We've moved past their ideas of boys or girls. | ||
| We've moved past their neo-racism. | ||
| They will keep screaming about all these things, and they'll scream about election denial, insurrections, and all of these things, and erections. | ||
| That's what Chuck Schumer said, where we've got to stop the erection, as if that guy can get it up. | ||
| Can you imagine? | ||
| There's just no chance. | ||
| Medicate yourself into oblivion, dude. | ||
| There's no way you can get a boner. | ||
| But the point is, they're going to keep coming, and we're just going to keep moving forward and building better things. | ||
| What we're gonna get to on the other side, but first, a bit from Rumble Premium. | ||
| When Rumble first started in 2013, they built the platform for the small creator. | ||
| They didn't censor or have biases. | ||
| They were fair and treated all creators equally. | ||
| No one thought platforms would censor political conversation or censor opinions around COVID, but they did. | ||
| Facebook admitted they fell to pressure from the Biden and Harris administration. | ||
| Of course, Rumble did not. | ||
| They held the line. | ||
| They're attacked daily for giving us a voice to talk to you. | ||
| They're attacked in corporate media. | ||
| They're attacked by governments like France. | ||
| They're attacked by brand advertisers who refuse to work with them. | ||
| Corporate America is fighting to remove free speech while Rumble is fighting to keep it. | ||
| Rumble won't survive with brand advertisers alone. | ||
| They don't get much of it. | ||
| So watching our show is the number one way we can ask for support from you. | ||
| But if you really believe in this fight and you have the means, one major way you can help Rumble survive is by joining Rumble Premium. | ||
| Join the community that believes in the First Amendment and believes in our human right to free speech. | ||
| Rumble is offering $10 off with promo code Rubin when you purchase an annual subscription. | ||
| Go to rumble.com slash premium slash Rubin and use code Rubin, like I said, if you have the means and believe in the cause, now is the time to join Rumble Premium. | ||
| If you don't have the means, we're just happy if you watch us right here on Rumble. | ||
| All right, so as always, I've got a wise audience. | ||
| You guys get it. | ||
| The culture is shifting. | ||
| They're going to keep screaming, but we're just going to keep going ahead and fixing things. | ||
| I think that's largely what this administration is going to do. | ||
| I think you can see it in the business world, in the corporate atmosphere right now. | ||
| You can just kind of feel it. | ||
| I mean, and again, I live here in Florida where things feel good generally, but I think you can feel it sort of across verticals at the moment. | ||
| And there's a lot of evidence that this is even going to affect. | ||
| The free speech situation. | ||
| I know I'm talking about the Trump effect here. | ||
| Check this out. | ||
| Headline from Bloomberg Business. | ||
| Meta adds UFC CEO Dana White to its board of directors. | ||
| Now, of course, Dana White has been on the forefront through everything he's been doing at the UFC, which became largely political, right? | ||
| Like a bunch of guys basically kicking the crap out of each other. | ||
| But suddenly it became very political because there were all these fighters who suddenly were like, hey, we don't like censorship. | ||
| We don't like... | ||
| The fact that they keep telling us that boys are girls and girls are boys and all of this racism stuff and, you know, like, we believe in meritocracy. | ||
| And then suddenly it became very political. | ||
| And Dana White, who's been close with Trump, he's been at all the speeches and everything else, spoke at MSG, at that Nazi rally at MSG. | ||
| Well, now he's gonna be on the board of Meta, which of course is the parent company of Facebook. | ||
| We've got some info from Mark Zuckerberg on that. | ||
| I'm excited to kick off the new year with some news we've been working on for a while. | ||
| Dana White, John Elkin. | ||
| And Charlie Songhurst are going to be on Meta's board of directors. | ||
| We have massive opportunities ahead in AI, wearables, and the future of social media, and our board will help us achieve our vision. | ||
| Dana is the president and CEO of UFC, and he has built it into one of the most valuable, fastest-growing, and most popular sports enterprises in the world. | ||
| I've admired him as an entrepreneur and his ability to build such a beloved brand. | ||
| So look, you may be watching this, and my reaction to it this morning on Twitter was like, is Facebook even on anymore? | ||
| Is it just grandmas sharing cat videos? | ||
| Like, what's going on over there? | ||
| I don't really know. | ||
| But it's still a massive company, right? | ||
| Like, we were locked out of our Facebook page for a while. | ||
| It's not even part of our business strategy here anymore because it was so bad with censorship and everything else, especially if we were to think about, you know, the Hunter Biden laptop and the election stuff and everything else. | ||
| But they do also own Instagram. | ||
| They own WhatsApp. | ||
| They're moving on AI. They mentioned wearables there. | ||
| I don't know if you've seen it, but Ray-Ban now has a partnership with them. | ||
| And I... I've seen it. | ||
| My cousin's got a pair of glasses with a little camera right here on what look like otherwise normal Ray-Ban sunglasses. | ||
| And they can record you and screen you, screen cap you and stream you and all the rest of it. | ||
| So this stuff is still here. | ||
| Facebook's not just going away overnight. | ||
| So the idea that Dana White, who's been good on free speech, who's been, you know, largely, let's say, right about the cultural issues, that he will be on the board. | ||
| And whether you want to use their products or not... | ||
| And I fully understand why you wouldn't want to use them, and I don't have Facebook on my phone, but whether you would want to use this stuff or not, again, it's the Trump effect. | ||
| Think about it this way. | ||
| If the election had gone the other way, is there any chance that Mark Zuckerberg is like, I'll bring on Dana White? | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| Is there any chance Mark Zuckerberg would be like, I care more about free speech now? | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| We'll have more on that in just a second. | ||
| Quick from Dana White. | ||
| He wrote, I love social media and I'm excited to be a small part of the future of AI and emerging technologies. | ||
| So I think what we're seeing here... | ||
| And that's in reference to him being put on the board. | ||
| I think what we're seeing here is him basically be like, Facebook's going to be a lot more, the company meta is going to be a lot more than just the thing Facebook that we all know, where you connected with your friend from 20 years ago, you exchanged two messages, and then you realize you don't like them. | ||
| You didn't like them back then, and you don't like them now, and you don't need to talk to them ever again, but you're looped in as friends, and now they're going to see pictures of you all the time. | ||
| I think that's the old product, and they are going to move on a whole bunch of other products, and if he can help Direct that in a way that's a little more conducive to free speech. | ||
| That's probably good. | ||
| That's probably good. | ||
| And if you want just a quick video of a track record of this guy standing up for what's right, I think we played this for you a couple months ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You obviously give a long leash to your fighters about, you know, what they can say when they are up there with a UFC microphone and you are getting into territory of homophobia, transphobia. | |
| Like, is there... | ||
| I don't give anybody a leash. | ||
| Well, I'm saying you... | ||
| A leash? | ||
| Free speech. | ||
| Control what people say. | ||
| Going to tell people what to believe. | ||
| Going to tell people... | ||
| I don't... | ||
| Tell any other human being what to say, what to think, and there's no leashes on any of them. | ||
| What is your question? | ||
| I was asking that question. | ||
| I'll move on, though. | ||
| Yeah, probably a good idea. | ||
| That's ridiculous to say I give somebody a leash. | ||
| Free speech, brother. | ||
| People can say whatever they want, and they can believe whatever they want. | ||
| And we're getting back to that, and that's great. | ||
| And again, I have no illusions about Mark Zuckerberg or Facebook or anything else. | ||
| And you should think about that. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Before I even analyze that, why don't we just throw you to this video? | ||
| So here's Zuckerberg yesterday. | ||
| Now, this is post-announcing that Dana White will be on the board. | ||
| Here's Zuckerberg, who comes off as an AI humanoid. | ||
| I'm not totally sure he's all human, possibly alien. | ||
| But here he is talking about how Facebook will now return to its roots of free speech. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, everyone. | |
| I want to talk about something important today, because it's time to get back to our roots around free expression on Facebook and Instagram. | ||
| I started building social media to give people a voice. | ||
| I gave a speech at Georgetown five years ago about the importance of protecting free expression, and I still believe this today. | ||
| But a lot has happened over the last several years. | ||
| There's been widespread debate about potential harms from online content. | ||
| Governments and legacy media have pushed to censor more and more. | ||
| A lot of this is clearly political, but there's also a lot of legitimately bad stuff out there. | ||
| Drugs, terrorism, child exploitation. | ||
| These are things that we take very seriously, and I want to make sure that we handle responsibly. | ||
| So we built a lot of complex systems to moderate content. | ||
| But the problem with complex systems is they make mistakes. | ||
| Even if they accidentally censor just 1% of posts, that's millions of people. | ||
| And we've reached a point where it's just too many mistakes and too much censorship. | ||
| The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech. | ||
| So we're going to get back to our roots. | ||
| And focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms. | ||
| More specifically, here's what we're going to do. | ||
| First, we're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes, similar to X, starting in the US. After Trump first got elected in 2016, the legacy media wrote non-stop about how misinformation was a threat to democracy. | ||
| We tried in good faith to address those concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth. | ||
| But the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S. We're going to move our trust and safety and content moderation teams out of California, and our U.S.-based content review is going to be based in Texas. | ||
| There's so much to say there. | ||
| First off, let me just say this. | ||
| You should decide for yourself whether you believe this guy. | ||
| You should decide for yourself whether you want to use those products. | ||
| And you should also think about, I would say, what would the situation be if the election had gone the other way? | ||
| If Kamala Harris was about to be sworn in two weeks from today, is he bringing Dana White on the board? | ||
| Is he saying, oh, I want to do more to get to our free speech roots or anything else? | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| He's being opportunistic here in that he's trying to get his company to survive, right? | ||
| Now, I don't blame him for that or begrudge him. | ||
| And by the way, when I've criticized a lot of these big tech guys over the years and I... I think I've been fairly critical of all of them. | ||
| Like Jack Dorsey, the old regime at Twitter, who was one of the absolute worst and lied under oath that he didn't shadow ban on Twitter. | ||
| I've been a little bit nicer when it comes to Zuckerberg because I think he was at least trying to some extent to not go all in on censorship, right? | ||
| Maybe I'm wrong about that. | ||
| But I just don't know, like... | ||
| To me, when you have an honest political evolution, it's because you've realized that some of your ideas were wrong. | ||
| You've realized maybe you've done some wrong things and you've behaved poorly or whatever it might be. | ||
| And then you come to a new conclusion. | ||
| That's not really what he's doing here. | ||
| What he's basically saying is, oh, we kind of lost and I want to keep my business. | ||
| So, again, you just decide how you want to relate to all of that. | ||
| I would say that this is not just because of the Trump effect, it's also because of the Elon Musk effect, because Zuckerberg right there, he referenced community notes, which is something I've brought up on this show many times. | ||
| There is now a crowdsourced fact-checking apparatus on X, so if you just lie about something on X, you will get a community note, which is voted on by people that has tons of links to verify information, and it is a way better fact-checking apparatus than having a bunch of We're good to go. | ||
| Type of system, a community notes type of system is good on Facebook. | ||
| But again, you just have to decide, well, all right, this guy who did so much wrong, who worked with the government to silence the Hunter Biden laptop or election stuff or COVID stuff or whatever else, he did so many things wrong for so long. | ||
| Do I want to follow him into the wearables and wear his sunglasses with the camera on it and follow him into the metaverse and all of the other things? | ||
| You just have to decide that. | ||
| Free yourself. | ||
| I will not be going to these places. | ||
| I just asked the guys right here. | ||
| Conor does not have Facebook on his phone. | ||
| Phoenix does not have Facebook on his phone. | ||
| If you guys aren't on there, who's on there? | ||
| You are the coolest dudes I know! | ||
| Here's a not-cool dude who doesn't like Elon Musk very much. | ||
| He's the Hulk, this fucking guy, Mark Ruffalo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's an awful, Hamas-supporting, progressive, socialist douchebag. | |
| And he doesn't like Elon. | ||
| And what's-his-name was a much better Hulk. | ||
| Who was the Hulk before him? | ||
| Ed Norton was a way better Hulk. | ||
| That's the main point of this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Elon Musk is such a two-faced turncoat traitor because he was a climate champion. | |
| And he sold himself out for a buck and some power. | ||
| Don't follow that guy. | ||
| That guy doesn't even have his original accent anymore. | ||
| Yeah, don't follow him. | ||
| Don't listen to him. | ||
| We're the ones who we have to believe in. | ||
| We're the ones who we're waiting for. | ||
| And we are the ones that have to move forward together. | ||
| Dude, easy on the gamma radiation. | ||
| We're the ones we're waiting for. | ||
| I'm a guy like me. | ||
| Like, these people are just so awful. | ||
| Yes, Elon Musk doesn't care about the environment anymore. | ||
| They're just terrible. | ||
| But the only reason I'm showing you that silly clip, because you know how I feel about the... | ||
| The actors and their feelings on all these things is they're losing their grip. | ||
| And as they lose their grip, they will tell you that January 6th is like the Holocaust. | ||
| And they will tell you that Elon Musk hates the environment and that the world's going to end in six years and all of these things. | ||
| And as I always say, if you really think the world is going to end in six years, you might want to be on the team of the guy who's building us the rockets to get us off the planet. | ||
| But you do you, Ruffalo. | ||
| Guys, let's talk about 1775 Coffee and then more on the other side. | ||
| 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. | ||

| All right, so yesterday, because it was January 6th, and you know what happens on January 6th, elections get certified one way or another. | ||
| Kamala Harris, who is the current vice president, a woman who cooed the sitting vice president, and then was installed by party leaders, and then hidden in a box so that she didn't do press, and then that made her not likable, and then when she did press, that continued to make her unlikable, and all the stuff, thus losing the election. | ||
| Well, she had to certify the election yesterday. | ||
| It was quite spectacular. | ||
| Enjoy. | ||
| The whole number of the electors appointed to vote for President of the United States is 538. Within that whole number, the majority is 270. The votes for President of the United States are as follows. | ||
| Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida has received 312 votes. | ||
| Kamala D. Harris Kamala D. Harris is gonna get a drink So yeah, she certified the election. | ||
| It does feel like, you know, I always talk about kayfabe, that it's all like we're in this WWE, like, script, endless script type of thing, which I do think largely is true about politics. | ||
| It's like that right there, that she had to even certify this freaking thing is just so great. | ||
| This one was making the rounds. | ||
| This is just fun. | ||
| this is well watch the meme makers what they're doing with these videos these days so mike johnson | ||
| a little uh a little Michael Scott, a little Dwight Schrute right there from the office of But I will give credit where credit is due. | ||
| Look, Kamala did her job. | ||
| She did her job and she did it right yesterday. | ||
| She really did. | ||
| The election has been certified. | ||
| We are two weeks away. | ||
| Again, two weeks from today, Donald J. Trump, the once and future president. | ||
| And Kevin McCarthy was on Fox yesterday talking about that. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| We should give her a little bit of credit because she did the right thing. | ||
|

|
Should Kamala Harris have called in sick today? | |
| You know what? | ||
| I say a lot of bad things about Kamala Harris, but I'm going to say something different today. | ||
| I respect what she did today. | ||
| And she stood there, she said it, you know it was tough, and she was professional about it. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| She was professional. | ||
| She did her job. | ||
| And that is good to see. | ||
| You know, the progressives have tried to break so many of our norms that I think there were a lot of people that were like, will she do it? | ||
| Will she do it properly? | ||
| Will she be snarky? | ||
| Like, just what will it be? | ||
| But she did do it. | ||
| I'm told now that we have breaking video, this is a Rubin Report exclusive, if I'm not mistaken, of Kamala Harris immediately after doing the fine job that she did right there. | ||

I just have to remind you. | |
| Don't you ever let anybody take your power from you. | ||
| You have the same power that you did before November 5th. | ||
| And you have the same purpose that you did. | ||
| And you have the same ability to engage and inspire. | ||
| So don't ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you. | ||
| Don't at me, people. | ||
| I'm told that was real. | ||
| It's the internet, man. | ||
| What are you saying? | ||
| It's a cheap fake or a deep fake or something else. | ||
| The man with dementia that she booted out of the Oval Office, basically, he's got two weeks left, and he's ending doing a couple interesting things. | ||
| We'll have more on that in a moment, but first, Rumble Premium. | ||
| When Rumble first started in 2013, they built the platform for the small creator. | ||
| They didn't censor or have biases. | ||
| They were fair and treated all creators equally. | ||
| No one thought platforms would censor political conversation or censor opinions around COVID, but they did. | ||
| Facebook admitted they fell to pressure from the Biden and Harris administration. | ||
| Of course, Rumble did not. | ||
| They held the line. | ||
| They're attacked daily for giving us a voice to talk to you. | ||
| They're attacked in corporate media. | ||
| They're attacked by governments like France. | ||
| They're attacked by brand advertisers who refuse to work with them. | ||
| Corporate America is fighting to remove free speech while Rumble is fighting to keep it. | ||
| Rumble won't survive with brand advertisers alone. | ||
| They don't get much of it. | ||
| So watching our show is the number one way we can ask for support from you. | ||
| But if you really believe in this fight and you have the means, one major way you can help Rumble survive is by joining Rumble Premium. | ||
| Join the community that believes in the First Amendment and believes in our human right to free speech. | ||
| Rumble is offering $10 off with promo code Rubin when you purchase an annual subscription. | ||
| Go to rumble.com slash premium slash Rubin and use code Rubin, like I said, if you have the means and believe in the cause, now is the time to join Rumble Premium. | ||
| If you don't have the means, we're just happy if you watch us right here on Rumble. | ||
| So over at the White House yesterday, Joe Biden is closing up shop, and they'll have him in the home in about two weeks from now. | ||
| Probably exactly in two weeks from now. | ||
| It's going to be very quick. | ||
| They're just going to hide him, and they're just going to say, oh, there was some stuff, and yeah, okay, fine, we don't need him anymore. | ||
| Anyway, he gave a bunch of Presidential Medals of Freedom out yesterday. | ||
| Now, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award in the United States, alongside the Congressional Gold Medal. | ||
| And, of course, at the ceremony, he has a ribbon with an amulet. | ||
| The gold chain, you know, thing there. | ||
| And he puts it around people's neck. | ||
| Generally speaking, I wouldn't want a crazy old man putting anything around my neck, but that's what they're still doing over there. | ||
| Here he is giving it to Hillary Clinton. | ||
| Hillary Clinton, who you may remember, she called half the country deplorables. | ||
| She said that Donald Trump was an illegitimate president. | ||
| There was the whole Benghazi thing. | ||
| A couple people died. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| but, you know, award Hillary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's just so creepy. | |
| And you know he's sniffing all the hair even though she's old and he likes young sniffed hair and all the other stuff. | ||
| But he gave a bunch of awards. | ||
| And here, Magic Johnson, who's done some fine work, I think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you think Joe Biden has any idea who he is? | |
| Just no idea. | ||
| Here's random black man with big smile. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| He also gave one. | ||
| Only do one work. | ||
| The point is I'm showing you what like an odd mismatch of people this was. | ||
| So you got Hillary Clinton. | ||
| You got Magic Johnson. | ||

And now Bill Nye, the science guy. | |
| Inspires generations of Americans to follow facts and reason and leave the world better than we found it. | ||
| Oh, is that right, Bill Nye? | ||
| He's been promoting facts and reason. | ||
| Connor, do we have a video of him promoting facts and reason? | ||
| Yeah, you got one? | ||

One thing's clear about sexuality. | |
| There's a lot more going on than meets the eye. | ||
| Female or male, gay or straight, pink or blue. | ||
| We were taught to see these as binary. | ||
| Now we're realizing it's more like a kaleidoscope. | ||
| And this stuff isn't just for adults. | ||
| Parents know this already. | ||
| Kids explore gender, expression, attraction before they've ever heard of a spectrum. | ||
| Take sex. | ||
| We used to think it was pretty straightforward. | ||
| X and a Y chromosome for males, two X's for females. | ||
| But we see more combinations than that in real life. | ||
| And even for people with just two sex chromosomes, hormones can vary wildly. | ||
| So can anatomy. | ||
| What makes someone male or female isn't so clear-cut. | ||
| By three or four, most kids identify with a gender, and it doesn't always match the sex they were assigned at birth. | ||
| And a person's gender identity may change over their lifetime. | ||
| And culture is getting us new ways to express all of this. | ||
| How you dress, how you act, talk, how you present yourself to the world. | ||
| It should be up to you. | ||
| Sure, this might make things confusing for those who insist everyone pick an M or an F, but people... | ||
| We have to listen to the science. | ||
| And the science says we're all on a spectrum. | ||
| Our labels, our fashion, even our washrooms are still catching up to that truth. | ||
| I think you'll find when we look at sexuality this way, it is more complicated, but it's also a lot more honest. | ||
| And there is your award winner who has been going for facts and truth and reason for years. | ||
| That was all drivel. | ||
| Yes, some Women are lesbos, and they talk like this, and some women are lesbians, and they're just regular lipstick lesbians. | ||
| I can't deal with these people. | ||
| I want my fucking award. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Here's my award. | ||
| Trump, that's what Joe Biden's doing. | ||
| You're a woman, you feel like a man, you're a dude, you're a chick, all that stuff. | ||
| You get an award for it. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| I'm throwing it out there right now. | ||
| I know you're not even president yet. | ||
| Dudes have dicks, women have vaginas. | ||
| Where's my fucking award? | ||
| I want an award. | ||
| I want Donald Trump to come behind me and wrap me in... | ||
| Wait. | ||
| Let's move over to a man who's confused about his gender up in Canada, Justin Trudeau. | ||
| He's an actual example of someone who's probably in the wrong body and confused about his gender. | ||
| He is stepping down as party leader of the Liberal Party and as Prime Minister of Canada. | ||
| Here quickly is a video. | ||
| This is just kind of funny. | ||
| This is right before he gave the big step down speech. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-oh. | |
| I'll wiggle. | ||
| Just that right there. | ||
| For those of you on the audio podcast, like the papers flying away in the wind before he even gets to the podium. | ||
| It's just great. | ||
| It sort of reminds me of what we showed you yesterday, the January 6th woman standing outside the Capitol. | ||
| Like, it was January 6th, it was an erection, and then just giant snowstorm right in her face. | ||
| It's just perfect. | ||
| Anyway, here's a bit of his resignation speech. | ||
| So last night over dinner, I told my kids about the decision that I'm sharing with you today. | ||
| I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister. | ||
| After the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process. | ||
| Last night I asked the President of the Liberal Party to begin that process. | ||
| This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and it has become clear to me that if I'm having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election. | ||
| All right, we'll find out more on the fallout of all of this and whether it's just a political play to buy some time for the liberals or whatever else. | ||
| But, Conor, did we have a little fun with that video? | ||
| Do we have a smaller version of that with a little bit of humor involved? | ||
| Go for it. | ||
| Last night over dinner, I told my kids about the decision that I'm sharing with you today. | ||

That's right, Cindy. | |
| I'm gay. | ||
| And in case you haven't noticed, so is Ray. | ||
| What? | ||
| That's solid. | ||
| That's solid. | ||
| For actual analysis of what just happened here, what led to all of this, I will throw to a Canadian himself. | ||
| Yes, I'm talking about Jordan Peterson. | ||
| He went on Piers Morgan last night to just talk about how this so obviously was going to be the end of Justin Trudeau. | ||
| Well, I watched his resignation speech this morning and I thought, you know, I've never heard Justin Trudeau say a true word in his entire life. | ||
| I'm a... | ||
| Pretty astute clinician. | ||
| And I can, if I pay attention, I can tell the difference between someone who's, you know, merely wrong and trying his best and someone who just lies with every single breath. | ||
| And he is definitely a person like that. | ||
| Everything he does is an act. | ||
| And his resignation speech was an act. | ||
| You can tell because today he started out with the words, well, everyone knows that I'm a fighter and I don't give up. | ||
| And I mean... | ||
| Pierce, I don't know about you, but I can't imagine myself ever saying something like that in public. | ||
| Who would say that? | ||
| I'm a fighter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Especially as you're giving up. | |
| Really? | ||
| Especially as you're literally giving up. | ||
| It's like, I quit, but I'm not a quitter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, you are. | |
| You're literally quitting in front of our eyes. | ||
| Well, and it's also the case that you saw in that opening salvo exactly his preoccupation with himself. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| This is all a drama about Justin Trudeau, as far as Justin Trudeau is concerned. | ||
| You all know I'm a fighter. | ||
| It's like, actually, Justin, at the moment, we don't give a damn if you're a fighter. | ||
| Actually, we don't give a damn about you, period. | ||
| This isn't about you. | ||
| It's about the fact that over nine years, you have moved Canadians from parity in terms of... | ||
| Per capita GDP. We were equal to the Americans nine years ago. | ||
| Equal. | ||
| And now we're at 60%, which is also, by the way, the case for you guys in the UK. And that's 100% attributable to Justin Trudeau and his, like, nightmarish, woke, leftist, weak policies. | ||
| There's a couple interesting things there, right? | ||
| And keep in mind, Jordan Peterson literally fled Canada because of the way I fled California because of Gavin Newsom, who's Justin Trudeau's special friend. | ||
| The way I fled California to come here to Florida is the same thing that Jordan did by leaving Canada and now becoming an American, right? | ||
| Because these people, they put in policies that destroy nations, right? | ||
| We can go through the litany of things. | ||
| Jordan just listed out a few of them. | ||
| But it's like... | ||
| This is what Justin Trudeau, for him to say, for him to say, you know I'm a fighter. | ||
| No one talks like that. | ||
| That's Jordan's point. | ||
| The peer's point is sort of secondary, which is as you're quitting. | ||
| But the broader point, everyone knows this thing about me. | ||
| And Jordan's right. | ||
| You make it a drama all about you. | ||
| And that's why we have to stop. | ||
| And I would say all of us, and this includes the way all of us speak about Trump, these people are not heroes or gods. | ||
| Well, they can be heroes in moments, but they're certainly not gods. | ||
| And what you want them to do is be part of systems that get out of your way so that you can live your life as you see fit. | ||
| But what Justin Trudeau did up in Canada was the complete reverse of that. | ||
| Just ask the Canadian truckers who just wanted to go to work. | ||
| But with all of that in mind, you should feel hopeful right now because whether you're going to be on Facebook or not, Facebook seems to be coming back. | ||
| To the center, or at least respecting free speech a little bit more. | ||
| So that's a tech corporate version of it, right? | ||
| The hysterics of someone like Sonny Hostin are largely being ignored right now. | ||
| Justin Trudeau is stepping down. | ||
| There are good things happening. | ||
| And check this out from the leading report breaking. | ||
| MSNBC is negotiating to cut Anchor Joy Reid's pay after the cable channel's ratings nosedived following a similar pay cut. | ||
| For Rachel Maddow. | ||
| And just think how funny that is. | ||
| It's like, you lie to your audience the entire way through the election. | ||
| You're wearing your elephant earrings. | ||
| You're still doing all of your thing. | ||
| And they're just like, you know what? | ||
| We're just not even going to pay you as much for this drivel, but we'll at least keep you there because we know if we fire you, you're going to call us racist. | ||
| And that's going to be a whole freaking thing. | ||
| We're all hostages to this lunacy. | ||
| So that's kind of good. | ||
| It's like less people are paying attention to MSNBC. They're not paying these people to propagandize as much as they were before. | ||
| And we got some more good stuff. | ||
| Good stuff here from the leading report. | ||
| Breaking, RFK Jr. has reportedly secured the votes needed to be confirmed as HHS secretary, and that is going to send shockwaves throughout the country and really throughout the world. | ||
| We will maha. | ||
| We will make America healthy again. | ||
| Or at the very least, we will start looking into the agencies that were injecting us with stuff. | ||
| And that we're forcing us to wear masks and stay home. | ||
| And what's going on with our food supply? | ||
| And should we have fluoride in the water? | ||
| And all of these things. | ||
| He's going to at least look at it. | ||
| And as I said yesterday, as it pertained to the H-1B visa situation, they're going to do it in a much more transparent way, right? | ||
| They're going to let you... | ||
| You think RFK is just going to go in there and just change everything and no one's going to know what he's doing or why he's going to do it? | ||
| No, it's just obvious that that's not going to be the case. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| And if you don't care about health or anything else, you might want world peace. | ||
| That used to be a big thing that we all agreed on. | ||
| And here's Zelensky over in Ukraine saying that peace is possible because of a certain orange man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It won't be long because Europe will be looking at us and we'll be looking at Trump. | |
| And by the way, I now see that when I talk about something with Donald Trump, whether we meet in person or we just have a call. | ||
| All the European leaders always ask, how was it? | ||
| This shows the influence of Donald Trump. | ||
| And this has never happened before. | ||
| With an American president, I tell you, from my experience, this also gives you confidence that he can stop this war. | ||
| So the war was stoppable this whole time, and we just needed strong American leadership, say peace through strength, say a little bit of American influence in the world, because somebody is the superpower, whether you like it or not. | ||
| And that just giving the guy who militarily can't match Putin endless amounts of cash and endless amounts of money, that's not going to stop the war. | ||
| So you could just, the Trump effect, the reset of the world, it is right here. | ||
| It's happening. | ||
| It's on the horizon. | ||
| But the beginnings of it, the breadcrumbs, are all laid out in front of us. | ||
| And I was saying it before 25, and I will say it a lot throughout 25, if we do this right, if we don't succumb to all of the trapdoors and the inner fighting and all of the nonsense, if we do all of it right, we will have an 80s-style revival in this country. | ||
| And as a child of the 80s, there would be nothing more satisfying than that. | ||
| Guys, before we wrap today, I want to show you a quick promo. | ||
| Of my interview with Tony Robbins, which was our first interview of the year. | ||
| And what a way to kick off the year. | ||
| The guy is just such an unbelievable abundance of energy and positivity. | ||
| And if you have not seen it yet, and you're just looking for something to give you a little juice as you head into the new year, this is it. | ||
| What do you think most people are sort of stuck on first? | ||
| What is like the first thing that most people seem to be hung up on before they can start moving forward in life? | ||
| I think the thing that stops people, whether it's in their relationship or whether it's their business or their career or their body, is the disappointments of the past. | ||
| And so what really shows up is fear. | ||
| They all come down to two fears that everybody has. | ||
| We're all afraid we're not enough in some context. | ||
| Especially if we have that fear that we're not enough for someone we really want that love from. | ||
| And the deepest fear is that if I'm not enough, I won't be loved. | ||
| And love is the oxygen of life. | ||
| Our evolutionary advantage. | ||
| It's what makes us survive. | ||
| And so I look at most people, and most people have so much fear still because of so many disappointments that they're afraid to get their hopes up. | ||
| Of course, if you don't get your hopes up, if you don't commit to something, if you don't give your all every time because you're afraid of failing, you're not going to follow through. | ||
| What if you did that? | ||
| What if you really committed to something? | ||
| What if you stopped being so fearful? | ||
| What if you looked in that closet, whatever skeletons are in there, and you started rearranging them or just crushing them and getting rid of them, right? | ||
| What if you aimed at something and went for it? | ||
| That seems to be where the country's going right now, but as always, it all starts with us. | ||
| Guys, that is the Rubin Report program for today. | ||
| We've got a post-game show coming up momentarily at rubinreport.locals.com. | ||
| Tequila will be out in about two weeks. | ||
| We'll have more info on that, I hope, by the end of the week. | ||
| I'm very, very excited. | ||
| And it does look like I will be able to sign all, well, at least the first 5,000 bottles. | ||
| I think I'm going to be able to sign them. | ||
| I'm working on it. | ||
| There's a lot of logistical stuff, but we're working on making that happen. | ||
| Cold clothes for you, and we'll see you on the other side. |
