Justin, I want to be able to see my reflection by the time you're done. | |
| It is February 4th, 2025. I'm Dave Rubin. | ||
| This is The Rubin Report. | ||
| I suspect there will be less singing today, but you never know. | ||
| I did go in the comments yesterday, and you people dig it. | ||
| Who's a better singer than Dave Rubin? | ||
| One person. | ||
| They couldn't come up with anybody. | ||
| One guy said maybe Frank Sinatra. | ||
| That was pretty much it. | ||
| So we'll see what we can do today. | ||
| As always, we are live streaming on Rumble YouTube and Locals. | ||
| We've got a post-game show, rubenreport.locals.com. | ||
| And kind of like yesterday, which was in many ways a show on the fly because there was just so much happening in real time that we were changing the show as we did it. | ||
| We're kind of right back in that. | ||
| And I want to start today, actually. | ||
| Can we put up the tweet? | ||
| I want to read a tweet to you that I put up a couple weeks ago. | ||
| And I'm not doing this to pat myself on the back. | ||
| I'm doing this. | ||
| To illustrate that if you're paying attention, you should be able to see what's happening here. | ||
| This is what I wrote a couple... | ||
| What was this? | ||
| November 13th. | ||
| It's about a week after the election. | ||
| I said that the thing that the Democrats and the media fear most is not that Trump is Hitler. | ||
| It's that he's going to fix things so fast that everyone will realize how evil they are, meaning the Democrats and the media. | ||
| And that really is the theme. | ||
| For today's show as it pertains to the border and immigration and the tariffs and now what's going on with this absolute fiasco around USAID, which we'll get to in a second. | ||
| There is so much good happening right now that it is ripping away that, as I always say, very thin veneer that the Democrats and the media use. | ||
| It's usually a thin veneer of tolerance and diversity and all that nonsense. | ||
| But it's also a thin veneer of that they do anything right. | ||
| And it's all being shredded. | ||
| It's going through a paper shredder right in front of us right now. | ||
| And Donald Trump, holy sheep shit. | ||
| I mean, Trump 2.0, Trump effect, again, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| It is focused like a laser right now. | ||
| So there is just so much being exposed and being turned around right in front of our eyes. | ||
| So let's start with this USAID situation because this is absolutely wild. | ||
| This might be the scandal of the entire administration. | ||
| The guy just started, and he's going to uncover a lot of stuff. | ||
| But the money laundering situation as it pertains to USAID is just completely out of control. | ||
| Check this out from Fox News. | ||
| U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID, staffers were told in an email that its Washington headquarters would be closed to staffers Monday, two sources confirmed to Fox News Digital. | ||
| Some staffers reported getting locked out of USAID computer systems overnight, according to the Associated Press. | ||
| People who remained in the systems got emails stating that at the direction of agency leadership, the headquarters facility will be closed to agency personnel on Monday, February 3rd. | ||
| Elon Musk, who's spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency, Doge, has said during an ex-Spaces conversation that President Donald Trump agreed that USAID, which distributes humanitarian Okay, | ||
| so basically what USAID has been for years is a place that a huge amount of your tax dollars get funneled into. | ||
| And then, and we'll cover some of them, through a crazy amount of ridiculous social programs and political programs, and a lot of it kind of very backdoor. | ||
| You don't know what's going on. | ||
| They just funnel that money across the world for ridiculous things, which, again, we'll get to in just a second. | ||
| And there's virtually no oversight. | ||
| Very few of the projects that they intend to do ever get finished as intended. | ||
| A lot of the money gets lost. | ||
| You get it. | ||
| Check this out from Autism Capital. | ||
| 97% of political contributions from USAID employees went to Democrats. | ||
| So that is worth noting here because we're trying to frame this thing. | ||
| So you have this government agency that's getting a ton of money. | ||
| Then 97% of the people who work at that agency happen to be Democrats. | ||
| So you can see how the laundering is taking place. | ||
| They're doing their own pet projects. | ||
| Are they doing things that are pro-America or pro-Democrats? | ||
| Well, let's talk about some of the things that they're doing. | ||
| Caroline Levitt, who has just done in one week an incredibly bang-up job as White House spokesperson, here she is laying out some of the, let's say, wasteful spending. | ||
| And you tell me if this is where you want your tax dollars being spent. | ||
|

|
Through USAID over the past several years, these are some of the insane priorities that that organization has been spending money on. | |
| $1.5 million to advance DEI in Serbia's workplaces. | ||
| $70,000 for a production of a DEI musical in Ireland. | ||
| 47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru. | |
| I don't know about you, but as an American taxpayer, I don't want my dollars going towards this crap, and I know the American people don't either, and that's exactly what Elon Musk has been tasked by President Trump to do, to get the fraud, waste, and abuse out of our federal government. | ||
| A lot of that, obviously, is wasteful spending. | ||
| Conor did just tell me that he is a big fan of the Peruvian transgender comic book. | ||
| What's it called again? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He loves that thing. | |
| But you get it. | ||
| You get it. | ||
| And these are just little crumbs that we're offering you so far about how ridiculous all of this is. | ||
| And we know it. | ||
| Why are we funding DEI programs in Serbia? | ||
| Why are we funding any DEI programs anywhere? | ||
| We're getting rid of them here. | ||
| But why would we be doing that in Serbia? | ||
| And you get it. | ||
| And we're sending money. | ||
| To put condoms in Hamas' hands and all of this absolute lunacy. | ||
| But there is a certain set of people who have existed, and this is what you could say the deep state is. | ||
| There are bureaucrats and politicians who have been involved in government for decades and decades. | ||
| You could look at, say, Biden involved in public life for 50 years, Chuck Schumer, who's been senator out of New York for two decades. | ||
| And then the bureaucratic class that never leaves D.C., they're all kind of in on it together. | ||
| As long as you're always taking money from the people, putting it into these programs, you keep the grease, you keep the wheels grease and everything keeps moving. | ||
| Here's Chuck Schumer, and he's not happy because... | ||
| This is just the beginning. | ||
| If Doge attacks USAID today, then you can be sure they'll move on to another target tomorrow. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Maybe it'll be the Postal Service, or the IRS, or even the Social Security Administration. | ||
| They could be next. | ||
| Or maybe our National Security Agency. | ||
| Not the IRS! Oh, God! | ||
| That would be crazy! | ||
| We had a little fun with that video. | ||
| Enjoy. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Maybe it'll be the Postal Service, or the IRS, or even the Social Security Administration. | ||
| They could be next. | ||
| Or maybe our National Security Agency. | ||

Oh! | |
| Oh, God! | ||
| Oh! | ||
| I'll have what she's having. | ||
| I wanted to do the 52nd. | ||
| Full orgasm scene. | ||
| But I was overridden by the team every now and again. | ||
| I let them outvote me there. | ||
| But like, oh my god, the IRS is gonna go out. | ||
| Are you threatening me with a good time? | ||
| What is wrong with you people? | ||
| Schumer continued on the Twitter, an unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. | ||
| Doge is not a real government agency. | ||
| Doge has no authority to make spending decisions. | ||
| Doge has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. | ||
| Doge's conduct cannot be allowed to stand. | ||
| Congress must act to restore the rule of law. | ||
| Connor, leave that up for a moment, because do you guys understand what's going on here? | ||
| The people who have done everything on the DL, I don't know, like maybe cooing a president and installing a lady that nobody voted for in a primary process and everything else. | ||
| The people who have funded all of this money to go all over the world to do completely ridiculous things, like transsexual comic books in Peru, no offense. | ||
| Those are the people that suddenly, as we're just opening up the books, all we're doing, all they're doing at Doge right now, they're sending the Doge people in. | ||
| They're going into the USAID offices. | ||
| All right, you can come back. | ||
| They're going to the USAID offices and they're just looking around. | ||
| They're like, so who did spend all this money on what now? | ||
| And can we see some receipts on some of this stuff? | ||
| And who directed you to this? | ||
| And everyone is freaking out because do you know where it will all be pointed back to? | ||
| Not that the Republicans are so great. | ||
| They're getting better. | ||
| But most of it's going to be pointed back to the Democrat Party because they have pushed all of this driveless lunacy and endless spending. | ||
| Here is Elon Musk, who apparently Chuck Schumer doesn't like very much. | ||
| Hysterical reactions like this is how you know that Doge is doing the work that really matters. | ||
| This is the one shot that the American people have to defeat bureaucracy, rule of the bureaucrats, and restore democracy. | ||
| Democracy, rule of the people. | ||
| We're never going to get another chance like this. | ||
| It's now or never. | ||
| Your support is crucial to the success of the revolution of the people. | ||
| And that is it, guys. | ||
| This is the chance. | ||
| All of the stuff that we've all have thought is so wrong. | ||
| It's all just felt wrong. | ||
| And the nonsense we've been pushed, all the woke nonsense that's been pushed on us, but the endless spending, how none of it has made sense for so long. | ||
| And we're just always, we're always swimming upstream, right? | ||
| There's this endless deluge of nonsense, and we're always swimming upstream trying to make sense of it. | ||
| Right now, it's being drained out of the system. | ||
| All they're doing, there's nothing illegal that they're doing. | ||
| They're trying to figure out who's in charge. | ||
| How is it that we do this? | ||
| How is it? | ||
| This is not directly related to USAID, but as Rand Paul pointed out, we give billions of dollars to the Ukraine, and then we don't know where the money goes or who gets the money, and we don't ask for receipts like enough is enough. | ||
| But the grifter class, the group of politicians who are in it for the system, they are freaking out right now. | ||
| And as I said, it's partly because it's going to be pointed back on them, but it's also because this is how they've controlled us. | ||
| They've controlled not only us, they've controlled the entire world through this giant grift. | ||
| Here's a Hamas supporter who married her brother. | ||

We are witnessing a constitutional crisis. | |
| We talked about... | ||
| Trump wanting to be a dictator on day one, and here we are. | ||
| This is what the beginning of dictatorship looks like. | ||
| When you gut the Constitution and you install yourself as the sole power, that is how dictators are made. | ||
| What Trump and Elon and all of their What the cronies are trying to do is take away the constitutional power of Congress. | ||
| It to me is her accent getting more disgusting now, like it's getting more guttural, which I think she's doing intentionally. | ||
| She's gross. | ||
| There is no constitutional crisis. | ||
| It's not a constitutional crisis to look at the books. | ||
| To figure out if they carried the one when they were given either 100 mil or a billion to Ukraine. | ||
| A constitutional crisis actually would be the thing that you people were doing when you were pretending a man with dementia was actually running the country. | ||
| So again, lady, you just need a mirror, but we all know that. | ||
| They're trying to clean things. | ||
| And then what's going to happen, because the other part of all of this is when we really look at the books properly and we see how much waste there was, what you're also going to see is that there have been, you know, we have about 2 million federal employees. | ||
| What you're also going to see is that most, the vast majority of these people, their jobs are utterly useless. | ||
| I'm sure many of them are good people. | ||
| Right? | ||
| They are, right? | ||
| And some of them have been in these jobs for a long time and done public service and done it quite well. | ||
| But the systems no longer work. | ||
| The world has changed. | ||
| Things run differently, etc., etc. | ||
| And here's Trump at the White House, who, by the way, he brings reporters into the Oval Office and he lets them ask questions. | ||
| That's kind of interesting, too. | ||
| He's trying to become a dictator by letting people ask him uncensored questions. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| Here he is talking about the waste at the federal government. | ||
|

|
With efforts to reduce the federal workforce, whether it's offering what we've called the buyout package or other efforts, do you have any concerns that there will be employees broadly across the federal government who might take that up? | |
| And they're a part of the many different ways that agencies protect the public, from food inspections, to water safety, to... | ||
| Everybody's replaceable, and we'll get very good people to replace them if it turns out to be more than we thought. | ||
| It could be a lot, it could be a little, we don't know, but we'd love to have them leave. | ||
| We're trying to remember this. | ||
| We want them to go into the private sector. | ||
| It's our dream to have everybody almost working in the private sector, not in the public sector. | ||
| Such a fundamental understanding of capitalism and the way things actually are supposed to work that he just illustrated right there. | ||
| We want more people working in the private sector. | ||
| By the way, it's good for people to work in the private sector because then you have a little more skin in the game. | ||
| If you work for the government... | ||
| You don't own any of that stuff, right? | ||
| You're just a cog in a system. | ||
| You can maybe move up and get a promotion, and maybe you can get an earlier retirement or something. | ||
| But usually, as a general rule, it wasn't always like this. | ||
| We used to have NASA in a space race, and it was super cool to work for the government. | ||
| But generally, in the last three, four decades, if you've worked for the government, it's not the coolest job you can have, right? | ||
| Because you're just a piece of a system. | ||
| Of a, I would say, increasingly corroded system that isn't doing good. | ||
| So what he's saying is everyone's replaceable. | ||
| And that actually is true. | ||
| Now, of course, the question is framed like, oh my God, food inspections and water. | ||
| And it's like, okay, now we do need food inspections. | ||
| We do need water to be looked at and make sure pollutants aren't getting in and things like that. | ||
| But how many people do we have doing those jobs? | ||
| Are they the best of the best? | ||
| Are they just working from home and pencil pushing and not even showing up to places they're supposed to inspect? | ||
| Overhaul of the government. | ||
| We're doing an upgrade. | ||
| That's what we're doing right now. | ||
| Picture 1995. You're upgrading Windows. | ||
| You download Windows, and you see the upgrade bar, and it's going, it's going, and it takes a little time to get there. | ||
| So we are in that process of upgrading the entire system right now. | ||
| And the people who have very vested interests in the money laundering, in controlling everything, in making sure that a certain set of people basically live like slaves because they're dependent on the government, they aren't happy about it. | ||
| But I would say, as The Rock used to say, suck it! | ||
| That's how he said it, right? | ||
| The Rock? | ||
| Suck it! | ||

Let's talk about home title lock, then we'll have more on the other side. | |
| Attention homeowners, when's the last time you checked the title to your home? | ||
| That's the legal document that proves you own it. | ||
| And if your answer is never, you need to hear about a fast-growing crime the FBI calls house-stealing. | ||
| It all starts with a simple one-page document called a quit-claim deed. | ||
| Criminals forge these documents, filling them out with your information, signing it with a fake signature, and stamping it with a notary seal that just costs $20 online. | ||
| They then file it with a county official. | ||
| And then that's it. | ||
| Your home can be transferred. | ||
| Out of your name without you even knowing. | ||
| Here's the scary part. | ||
| The scammers don't want your house. | ||
| They're after your equity. | ||
| They take out loans using your home as collateral, then vanish, leaving you with a devastating financial and legal mess. | ||

| All right, major correction, major correction. | ||
| It was not The Rock that said suck it in the WWE. He used to say, can you smell what The Rock is cooking? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| It was Shawn Michaels that used to say suck it. | ||
| Yeah, and he would kind of point to his crotch, right? | ||
| The two-handed point to the crotch and say suck it. | ||
| Triple H. It was Shawn Michaels and Triple H? The whole thing's very gay, quite frankly. | ||
| Let's talk about Hitler for just a moment. | ||
| You remember Hitler, little mustache, apparently had one testicle. | ||
| Not a great guy. | ||
| Everyone wants you to think that Elon Musk, who's trying to get us to Mars and do all sorts of other cool things and make sure that the government isn't spending too much money. | ||
| Everybody seems to think on mainstream media or the Democratic Party that he's Hitler. | ||
| Here's a guy by the name of Chris Murphy. | ||
| He's a senator from Connecticut and he's trying to do just that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| They don't seem super different than Elon Musk, who has... | ||
| Amplified, vicious, anti-Semitic information on Twitter who gave the Heil Hitler salute on Inauguration Day. | ||
| It seems to be standard that the qualification to serve in the Trump administration is affection for racist and misogynist philosophy. | ||
| So this guy's dangerous, but there seems to be people like him being peppered throughout Trump's government. | ||
| Just for whatever it's worth. | ||
| Trump team says that wasn't a Heil Hitler salute, but we have not. | ||
| I don't think we've heard from Elon Musk on what exactly. | ||
| First of all, every American needs to know that your information, your personal tax records have been potentially compromised, that unelected billionaires and his Silicon Valley right-wing friends may have access to all of your personal information. | ||
| And all of this seems to be in service of taking control of the federal government and using the resources of the federal government to reward Trump's friends and Musk's friends and to punish their enemies, at least to punish people who don't line up with the political priorities of the administration. at least to punish people who don't line up with They may be government contracts, but tomorrow it may be your tax refund. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Unelected bureaucrats might have access to your information? | ||
| Guys, first off, there's just no evidence of that. | ||
| Doge is just going in and seeing what they're spending money on. | ||
| But putting that aside, how thrilled are you that there's been two million government employees who probably aren't very good at their job doing God knows what with your information? | ||
| Like, these people, their allegiance... | ||
| To the machine is rather extraordinary. | ||
| Also, Elon Musk is not a Nazi and he did not do the high... | ||
| You'd think that Elon Musk spent the last year, he was the darling of the left, gets on board the Trump train after the assassination attempt, and then... | ||
| Puts all of his money, all of his reputation, he had to move businesses out of Delaware because they started going everywhere. | ||
| All of this stuff, he did it just so that Trump could be president, so that he could go up there and announce that he was a Nazi and try to make more money. | ||
| It's just so idiotic. | ||
| It's actually beyond imagination, other than that is what these people have. | ||
| Jake Tapper, poor guy. | ||
| You can see he's just so tired of all of this, and he does have a couple flickering brain cells, so he just looks absolutely miserable. | ||
| But then he tries there. | ||
| You know, well, I guess Elon never said it was Heil Hitler. | ||
| So, you know, who knows? | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| Anyway, that's one version of Democrats doing their media thing. | ||
| And you get it. | ||
| It's just the same old dribble, like they refuse to pivot. | ||
| Now we'll show you a different version of that, which is Republican Florida Congressman Brian Mast, who's really fantastic. | ||
| He was on CBS's morning show with Margaret Brennan, and they talked a little bit about the USAID wasteful spending. | ||
|

|
...the rise, purging of State Department personnel. | |
| What does that mean exactly? | ||
| Well, if you want to take a look at the State Department where DEI has been a priority over, let's say, diplomacy in many accounts, I can give you hundreds of examples of where they were authorizing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What proof do you have of that? | |
| Sure, let's list them off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Half a million dollars to expand atheism in Nepal, $50,000 to do, let's see, a transgender opera in Colombia, $47,000 to do an LGBTQ... Do | |
| you get how this all works? | ||
| Like, in some sense, it's just like... | ||
| It's that Curtin Wizard of Oz situation. | ||
| Like, you see how hard she's running cover for the bullshit? | ||
| Like, there he is just laying it out. | ||
| By the way, the name of the Peruvian trans comic book, what was it? | ||
| It was the Peruvian... | ||
|

|
Book of Queerness. | |
| The Peruvian Book of Queerness. | ||
| Connor's favorite book. | ||
| I don't know why. | ||
| All right, I owe you extra guacamole today, really. | ||
| You're taking one for the team today. | ||
| But you get it. | ||
| Like, we're just doing this nonsense. | ||
| And what kind of... | ||
| Margaret, Maggie. | ||
| Maggie, are you a journalist? | ||
| What are you? | ||
| When little Maggie was in high school, in junior high school, and she was in social studies class, and she was writing papers, and in college, and she wanted to be a journalist and fight the power and everything else, what would little Maggie think of Margaret? | ||
| I don't think you would like her very much. | ||
| Because there you are, you have a competent government official, former member of the military, by the way, who had his leg blown off. | ||
| I think two, both of his legs below his kneecaps, if I'm not mistaken, right? | ||
| For mast? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There he is, and you're asking him, like, well, what kind of money have we been wasting? | ||
| And he lays it out, and you're just, like, you're pushing back in the worst possible way. | ||
| You're not very good, Maggie, at what you do. | ||
| Check this out from Breaking911. | ||
| Breaking, White House prepares executive order to dismantle the Department of Education per Wall Street Journal. | ||
| The officials have discussed an executive order that would shut down all functions of the agency that aren't written explicitly into statute or move certain functions to other departments. | ||
| The order would call for developing a legislative proposal to abolish the department. | ||
| So do you understand what they want to do here? | ||
| Not because people are going to go crazy. | ||
| My God, they're going to blow away the Department of Education. | ||
| Everyone will get... | ||
| Well, first off, that would be almost impossible, but putting that aside for a second... | ||
| The Department of Education gets a crazy amount of money, which it then teaches, in essence, teaches teachers and administrators to push all of this woke, anti-American nonsense. | ||
| That's what it's done for decades. | ||
| So could we blow apart that department? | ||
| Sorry, you get no more money. | ||
| Randy Weingarten, all you people, you gotta disappear. | ||
| Go away. | ||
| We don't care about any of you. | ||
| She's the head of the teachers' union. | ||
| But all of you people become largely irrelevant. | ||
| And then anything that needs... | ||
| We can discuss about public funding and school choice and whether you want to send your kids to charter schools and all of those things, but most of it will be kicked back to the states and you will have more local control over education. | ||
| Does that not sound better? | ||
| But they will lie and they will cheat and they will steal and they will confuse you and make it think like that. | ||
| Oh my God, they want to make everyone dumber. | ||
| The same people who don't know that there's a difference between boys and girls. | ||
| We'll have more on the endless onslaught against the evil in just a moment. | ||
| But first, BHMD1. We've been told our whole lives that wrinkle creams were the easiest way to look younger. | ||
| Now, one doctor says that's nothing but old news. | ||
| According to Dr. John Lake, the world-renowned Beverly Hills beauty expert, most wrinkle fixes on the market are nothing but glorified moisturizers. | ||
| They hardly make a dent on your appearance and some can even be harmful to your skin, he said. | ||
| Recently, Dr. Lake has focused his attention away from mainstream cosmetic practices. | ||
| Why? | ||
| so he can pursue a revolutionary anti-aging breakthrough, one that some experts say could empty the wallets of the cosmetic industry. | ||
| It's almost like Photoshop for your face. | ||
| You may even be mad after seeing how easy it is to visibly erase your wrinkles from view, Lake told reporters. | ||
| His personal clients have dubbed his new do-it-yourself technique the age rewinder method because it can take years or even decades off your appearance in under two minutes. | ||
| In light of this amazing breakthrough, Dr. Lake has released a step-by-step video to the public, free and uninterrupted, where he outlines exactly how to use this simple solution from home. | ||
| You can find out more about this yourself right now, Go to BHM. BHMD1.com slash Ruben or click the link in the description box below. | ||

| Okay, so the Trump effect. | ||
| What's it doing so far? | ||
| Well, we're clearing out the nonsense. | ||
| We're getting rid of DEI all over the place. | ||
| We're looking at the books. | ||
| We're seeing where the waste is. | ||
| We're doing a whole bunch with the border and deportations. | ||
| We'll have more on that in just a second. | ||
| But we're basically just opening up the hood of the car, and we're looking at the engine and all the parts, and we're going, does any of this work? | ||
| Does any of this make sense? | ||
| Why is it that we haven't upgraded this? | ||
| Why is it we're using old oil that doesn't work here? | ||
| Et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| Here's Trump responding, again, because the guy does take questions from the press. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| We used to do that in this country. | ||
| Here he is taking a question about how we are removing DEI from government websites. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Government websites, excuse me, will be shut down this evening to scrub them with DEI content? | |
| Can you confirm whether that's accurate or if there are any concerns about that? | ||
| It doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. | ||
| DEI would have ruined our country, and now it's dead. | ||
| I think DEI is dead, so if they want to scrub the websites, that's okay with me. | ||
| And it's just simple and real, and we needed him to do this. | ||
| Nobody else was going to do it, and it's obvious. | ||
| And what's nice, even within that answer, Again, he has this way of being honest that normal politicians can't do. | ||
| He's not even 100% sure. | ||
| He's saying, well, I didn't fully know that, right? | ||
| Basically, that's what he's saying. | ||
| But yeah, that would be good if we removed DEI from the websites because it's awful, right? | ||
| And we all know why it's awful. | ||
| So when good things start happening and we start fixing things and we start running things more efficiently and we start getting neo-racism out of our systems and all that stuff, what do they do on mainstream media and in the Democratic Party? | ||
| You know. | ||

And it has a little something to do with white supremacy. | |
| President Trump is appointing Darren Beattie to a top State Department role. | ||
| Many of you will remember who Darren Beattie is. | ||
| He was fired in 2018 for being a speechwriter. | ||
| He was speaking at a conference attended by white nationalists. | ||
| And then a few months ago, he posted this, Congresswoman. | ||
| Must be in charge if you want things to work. | ||
| Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities and demoralizing competent white men. | ||
| Your reaction to his appointment? | ||
| He needs to go. | ||
| I mean, this is very simple. | ||
| We right now have a white supremacist. | ||
| I am tired of the white tears. | ||
| Listen, if you are competent, you are not concerned. | ||
| When I walk into Congress every single day, you know why I don't feel a way and why you can't make me doubt who I am? | ||
| It's because I know that I had to work 10 times as hard as they did just to get into the seat. | ||
| When you look and you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. | ||
| And that is the life that we have always lived. | ||
| So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so much harder. | ||
| All right. | ||
| First off, she's wearing the puffy shirt from Seinfeld. | ||
| Okay, that's number one. | ||
| Number two, I'll give the devil his due for a moment. | ||
| Darren Beattie saying that basically white men have to have these jobs. | ||
| Obviously, that's not right. | ||
| And he can be questioned about that. | ||
| It does not matter. | ||
| The whole point of what we have been fighting for with meritocracy is that it does not matter what skin color you are. | ||
| I think the point, if I was trying to extrapolate a little bit of what he meant by that, was we need to stop discriminating against these people. | ||
| Not that they have to be in charge, but we have basically instituted a system of discrimination against white people. | ||
| but let's leave that there. | ||
| Then she talks about white people crying and all that stuff, like she's the racist. | ||
| It's just so embarrassing and thin, and Donald Trump is not a white supremacist and any of the rest of it. | ||
| But this is all they've got over there. | ||
| But let's jump over. | ||
| It's even worse over on the televised mental institution known as MSNBC. | ||
| They're having a complete meltdown because Trump is ending DEI, and they're taking away a poster, a poster! | ||

Any semblance of diversity and inclusion is literally being wiped off the map. | |
| The New York Times put out a photo today of the walls of Quantico, the FBI Academy, where they're painting over the FBI's core values to include integrity, adherence to the Constitution, and diversity. | ||
| A less diverse FBI is a less effective FBI. Try doing surveillance on the street in the inner city with two white guys. | ||
| Try working undercover in a Middle Eastern terror organization with a white guy. | ||
| It doesn't work that way. | ||
| So we're becoming less and less safe very quickly. | ||
| Understood. | ||
| Try getting your news from a white guy on MSNBC and then you'll see how stupid it all is. | ||
| First off, if these two cared about equity and diversity and anything else, they would quit. | ||
| They would step aside from their jobs as rich white men and give it up. | ||
| To some black lesbo. | ||
| So get going, guys. | ||
| Don't tell me, show me. | ||
| Okay, that's number one. | ||
| Number two, nobody is saying that we should have white guys wandering around the Middle East pretending they're Middle Eastern, right? | ||
| You want the most qualified people, okay? | ||
| But then you have to take the whole panoply of things that might make them qualified for a job. | ||
| So let's say you have to be undercover. | ||
| In, I don't know, Yemen. | ||
| Now, most of the people of Yemen are brownish in skin color and dark hair and kind of half-shaven. | ||
| You wouldn't take a guy who looks like he's from Norway. | ||
| But that has nothing to do with racism unless you have brain damage. | ||
| Which I know you have, so I'm trying to explain it in the most idiotic terms. | ||
| Let's continue. | ||
| This is from my friend Colin Wright. | ||
| He's been on the show before. | ||
| Alert! | ||
| Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has quietly removed his gender pronouns, he, him, from his Twitter and other social media profiles. | ||
| Gender ideology is absolutely toxic. | ||
| Expect more Democrats to start quietly distancing themselves from it. | ||
| Now, the reason I thought this was interesting... | ||
| It's because no one believed any of this nonsense. | ||
| They all just went along with it. | ||
| And that's why when I tell you that there are certain people who are just cogs in the system, they just do whatever the system wants and then the system can remove them and get rid of them because they're replaceable like that because they've offered nothing new and ingenuitive and smart and bright and that's what your job is as a human being. | ||
| But a giant system is not interested in people that can change the system. | ||
| A giant system is interested... | ||
| In as many lemmings as possible. | ||
| So Pete, it's like, did you really think that your pronouns were important? | ||
| How old is Pete Buttigieg? | ||
| Probably late 30s, something like that. | ||
| That would be my guess. | ||
| It's like, Pete, you grew up in a time where no one cared about that stuff. | ||
| Then you become in power and then you just go along with the thing. | ||
| How old is he? | ||
| 43, right? | ||
| So basically, he's five years younger than me. | ||
| I mean, I know the generation that he grew up in. | ||
| Nobody would have had any of that shit. | ||
| And by the way, he happens to be gay. | ||
| He happens to be married. | ||
| Nobody cares about that either, right? | ||
| But he went in on all this woke stuff. | ||
| And by the way, it wasn't just him. | ||
| AOC had her pronouns in her profile. | ||
| She got rid of them too. | ||
| So you guys who forced all of this stuff in the government, who forced all of this stuff into our schools, you didn't even believe it. | ||
| Because now that it's not cool, now that it's not the current thing, trademark. | ||
| You're not doing it anymore, and all it does really is just show us that he, him, he, she, Zzer, and the rest of it were all frauds all along. | ||
| We'll talk about taxes and tariffs in a moment, but first, move it. | ||
| If you've been trying to lose fat, get leaner, and optimize your workouts, listen up, guys. | ||

| Over time, these small, personalized changes really add up, helping you lose excess fat, build muscle, and improve All right, if I can paraphrase myself from the beginning of the show, what was the tweet that I read to you? | ||
| It was basically, it's that nobody thinks Donald Trump's Hitler. | ||
| What they're afraid of is that he will very quickly expose all of their nonsense and make things better. | ||
| Well, that's exactly what's happening in real time right now. | ||
| Remember the show yesterday? | ||
| Do you remember yesterday? | ||
| Well, yesterday, there was all this concern when we started the show that Donald Trump was going to put a 25% tariff on Canada and Donald Trump was going to put a 25% tariff on Mexico and it was going to wreck our economies and we'd be in a trade war with Canada and everything else. | ||
| Well, right before we started the show, Mexico waved the white flag. | ||
| We'll read it. | ||
| We'll social post on that in just a second. | ||
| And then during the show, Canada also waved the white flag because when you exert authority, when you have power, as we are doing here in America, the world starts coming around. | ||
| So this is from Donald Trump on Truth. | ||
| I just spoke with President Claudia Scheinbaum of Mexico. | ||
| It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexico soldiers on the border separating Mexico and the United States. | ||
| These soldiers will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal migrants into our country. | ||
| We further agreed to immediately pause the anticipated tariffs for a one-month period, during which we will have negotiations headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Besson, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnik, and high-level representatives of Mexico. | ||
| I look forward to participating in those negotiations with President Scheinbaum as we attempt to achieve a deal between our two countries. | ||
| I mean, guys, this is literally, and I'm not a genius, this is exactly what I said was going to happen yesterday. | ||
| What I say, tariffs are just a point of leverage. | ||
| You threaten them. | ||
| We're gonna put a 25% tariff on all that corona that's coming over. | ||
| Remember yesterday, Chuck Schumer was very concerned that corona was gonna cost more and that avocados were gonna cost more. | ||
| We can get beer and avocados in our own country. | ||
| So big damn whoop. | ||
| Trump threatens them and then they go, oh shit, America's gonna buy less of our beer and less of our avocados and less of our tequila, which is very close to my heart. | ||
| And actually tequila, you can only import from Mexico because it can only be called tequila if it comes from four regions of Mexico. | ||
| I know an awful lot about tequila. | ||
| But the point is, we exerted authority, and then within hours, within hours, suddenly 10,000 troops showing up at the border. | ||
| They're going to stop fentanyl, stop the migrant crisis, and everything else. | ||
| That's how you make things work, and he's doing it fast and efficiently. | ||
| And then, of course, let's go to the northern border. | ||
| Here's a tweet from Justin Trudeau. | ||
| I just had a good call with President Trump. | ||
| Canada's implementing our $1.3 billion border plan, reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. | ||
| Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border. | ||
| In addition, Canada's making new commitments to a point of fentanyl czar. | ||
| We'll list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24-7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada-U.S. joint strike force to combat organized crime, Fentanyl and money laundering. | ||
| I've also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and will be backing it with $200 million. | ||
| Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together. | ||
| So you get it, guys? | ||
| Those are Justin Trudeau's own words, right? | ||
| Like, all we did, all we did was say 25% tariff. | ||
| Then yesterday, we showed you the video. | ||
| Justin Trudeau was like, well, we're going to tariff you guys 25%. | ||
| We're going to tariff you guys 25%. | ||
| And then what happens? | ||
| It's all bullshit. | ||
| They crumble and cave. | ||
| And here we are. | ||
| We've got this from N. Wokeness. | ||
| Breaking. | ||
| Prime Minister Justin Trudeau caves. | ||
| Says he will do the following to delay tariffs for 30 days. | ||
| I mean, this is... | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| $1.3 billion border plan, U.S.-Canada Joint Strike Force, 200 mil for intel operations, 10,000 personnel for border security, fentanyl czar to combat smuggling. | ||
| So, guys, it's a great time to be an American. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| We are taking back our birthright right now. | ||
| Which is that we are the freest, greatest country in the nation. | ||
| And for some reason, we've let an unelected bunch of bureaucrats and dementia patients and communists and terrorist supporters, we've let them all run the show for far too long. | ||
| But their day is coming to a close. | ||
| And as it gets closer to that moment where we don't need them anymore at all... | ||
| We don't put them in camps or anything. | ||
| They can still do everything, but we can just ignore them. | ||
| But as it gets closer to their end date, they're going to get more and more hysterical. | ||
| Let's jump over to CNN. You know Scott Jennings over there. | ||
| He's the one sane guy over at that loony place. | ||
| And here he is as Washington Post journalist, I guess we'll call her, Catherine Rampell. | ||
| She doesn't seem to think that Trump has accomplished anything in the last 24 hours. | ||
|

|
To Ashley's point, quantify what the actual impact is here. | |
| For people saying, look, the market bounced back, no tariffs were put into place, Trump got what he wanted, all's well, we'll do this again in 30 days. | ||
| Is that kind of the reality from an economic perspective? | ||
| I mean, I don't know what Trump wanted in this situation. | ||
| Again, he didn't actually get anything. | ||
| But if he were to put these tariffs in place, they would be very painful for American consumers. | ||
| Okay, Scott, I mean, this is public information. | ||
| He got what he wanted. | ||
| He got an agreement from our neighbors to do more on the border. | ||
| That's what he wanted, and he got it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
To do exactly what they have already been doing. | |
| I mean, I understand you're the minister of propaganda tonight, but you don't have to be. | ||
| You could just say, hey, all's well that ends well here. | ||
| Come on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you don't know that these countries are committing to do exactly what they have already been doing, either you haven't done your homework or you think the American people are idiots. | |
| Because again... | ||
| Or option three. | ||
| Donald Trump is enforcing what needs to be done at the border, which is more help from our friends. | ||
| They are allies, and they are important people, but they need to help us, and they've not been helping us, and now they're going to help us even more. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They have been, but the point is that it's also... | |
| Ask every family with a fentanyl death how much they've been helping. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Scott, can I just ask you... | |
| Well, they have done nothing more. | ||
| Scott, can I ask you, though, like, this playbook is... | ||
| He's got one play. | ||
| These people are so unbelievably awful. | ||
| That woman, what's her name again? | ||
| What was her name? | ||
| Catherine something? | ||
| Catherine Rampel. | ||
| She should be fired from CNN immediately. | ||
| She should never appear there. | ||
| That's not cancel culture or anything else. | ||
| The level with which she just lied right there. | ||
| So she's claiming that in the last 24 hours, nothing has happened. | ||
| That's exactly what she just said there. | ||
| Nothing happened. | ||
| I can read you what I just read you a second ago from Justin Trudeau. | ||
| It's a one point... | ||
| $3 billion border plan with the U.S.-Canada Joint Strike Force, $200 million for intel operations, 10,000 personnel for border security, and a fentanyl czar to combat smuggling. | ||
| And she calls that nothing. | ||
| She says nothing changed. | ||
| And we just read you the thing from Mexico, too. | ||
| So that woman, you are a liar, you are a paid propagandist, you work at a place that is not a place of journalism, the Washington Post, and Jeff Bezos should be embarrassed for even owning it or putting out that garbage. | ||
| But if anyone at CNN has any integrity, and I know there's virtually nothing left, and you still put up the potato guy and the rest of them, it's like that woman, she's... | ||
| She's only there for one reason, and it's to lie. | ||
| That's how you know she'll return on CNN. The whole purpose of her existence is to lie and push BS. So good work, as always, Scott Jennings, who just calls it out. | ||
| It's just complete and utter nonsense. | ||
| Let's continue with the wins that are being racked up fast. | ||
| Here is new Secretary of State Marco Rubio sitting down with my friend Megyn Kelly talking about Greenland because, yeah, we're going to buy it. | ||
| I think President Trump, what he has said publicly is he wants to buy it. | ||
| He wants to pay for it. | ||
| And how we worked on something like that, how something like that is approached, obviously, is probably done better in the appropriate forms. | ||
| A lot of the stuff is done publicly, and it's not helpful because it puts the other side in a tough spot domestically. | ||
| So those conversations are going to happen. | ||
| But this is not a joke. | ||
| What he is saying is pretty accurate. | ||
| People haven't talked about it for years. | ||
| This is not about acquiring land for the purpose of acquiring land. | ||
| This is in our national interest, and it needs to be solved. | ||
| Put out there what he intends to do, which is to purchase it. | ||
| I wasn't privy to that phone call, but I imagine the phone call went the way a lot of these phone calls go, and that is he just speaks bluntly and frankly with people. | ||
| And ultimately, I think diplomacy in many cases works better when you're straightforward as opposed to using platitudes and language that translates to nothing. | ||
| Alright, so we'll see what happens with Greenland, but what I'd rather focus on for a moment is, you know who his predecessor was? | ||
| Remember that Anthony Blinken guy who we're never going to hear of again? | ||
| Yeah, he'll write a book in a year or two and get a couple mil for it, but that'll basically, and actually maybe not, because the whole system is changing so rapidly that maybe that won't even happen anymore. | ||
| But Anthony Blinken, why is it that every time he went up there, he had that look in his eyes? | ||
| Like a deer in the headlights. | ||
| And it always felt like he was kind of just reciting a script that he was given and never really said anything kind of clear and clean or anything else. | ||
| Versus Marco Rubio right there. | ||
| Marco Rubio's like, I wasn't privy to the phone call, but I can tell you it kind of went like this. | ||
| Because Donald Trump is blunt and blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And it is in our national interest to do this. | ||
| We are fixing things so rapidly that I think it is going to take people time to even understand that, right? | ||
| Because we're used to being slow-rolled with truth, and now we're getting a bunch of reality basically in real time, and that is weird, I suppose. | ||
| Check this out from Breaking911, because more winds are coming. | ||
| This one's kind of wild, actually. | ||
| Breaking, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announces that El Salvador's president has agreed to accept deportees from the U.S. And here's the key part. | ||
| Regardless of nationality, as well as violent criminals currently imprisoned in America. | ||
| Did you catch that? | ||
| The president of El Salvador, this is Bukele, who's turned basically El Salvador, which was virtually a third world country, and run by gangs, and one of the most violent countries in the entire world. | ||
| He has now turned it into the safest country in South America. | ||
| And really one of the safest in all of the West. | ||
| He's now going to take criminals who have nothing to do with El Salvador. | ||
| I don't know what he's going to do with them exactly, but like even that, even that, he's lining up and he's saying, boy, America's in charge again. | ||
| How can I help America? | ||
| Well, we've jailed a whole bunch of crazy people who have done all sorts of evil things. | ||
| Maybe we can take a few more and help America out. | ||
| And by the way, when we help America out, I have a feeling that Donald Trump will look at Bukele and be like, That guy's helping us out with this deportation problem, getting a bunch of headaches off our hands. | ||
| How can we help El Salvador? | ||
| And then it will be good for El Salvador. | ||
| Do you see how it works, guys? | ||
| Check out this tweet from Linda Catalina, because this is wild. | ||
| Rick Grinnell, my old buddy Rick Grinnell, just in. | ||
| Trump sent Rick Grinnell to meet with Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela. | ||
| He's obviously the president of Venezuela. | ||
| And then what happened right after that? | ||
| This is from Donald Trump himself. | ||
| Just been informed that we are bringing six hostages home from Venezuela. | ||
| Thank you to Rick Grinnell and my entire staff. | ||
| Great job. | ||
| And I thought this by Ezra Cohen was kind of interesting because a lot of people were sort of mocking that Rick Grinnell has been such a Trump guy and they sort of thought that he got kicked to the side, didn't get an appointment that maybe he wanted. | ||
| So I thought this was quite good. | ||
| When President Trump had the foresight to name Rick Grinnell Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, a lot of people in the swamp rudely snickered about what his job would be. | ||
| Now you understand, Rick is one of the most effective and proven emissaries America has. | ||
| So basically, Rick is gonna run around for four years, and if there are problem spots in the world, he's gonna go there, he's gonna fix it, and I don't know, it seems pretty good to get, say, American hostages out of places. | ||
| It's happening in Israel right now, getting them out of Gaza, and it's happening in Venezuela. | ||
| Six Americans were hostage in Venezuela. | ||
| Did you even know that? | ||
| That the mainstream media wasn't talking about that. | ||
| Check out this from Brother Rick. | ||
| Rick Rinell went to Venezuela to do two things. | ||
| This is one. | ||
| The previous administration did nothing to gain the release of these Americans. | ||
| Congratulations, sir. | ||
| And there's a picture of six Americans who were being held hostage in Venezuela, and you probably didn't even know it. | ||
| Isn't that interesting? | ||
| So, what is going to happen? | ||
| As all of this goodness continues to burst through, right? | ||
| Well, what's going to happen is, unfortunately, the Democrats, because all of the good Democrats are now basically moderate Republicans or whatever, you know, it's that MAGA alliance, whatever you want to call that at this point, the wide tent thing, the Democrats are left with a bunch of absolutely radical communists and crazy people. | ||
| It's really not even hyperbole to say that. | ||
| They have become the party of America-hating radicals. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| And who's left over there? | ||
| Well, they've still got AOC. The Trump administration is currently trying to get their nominees approved and voted on. | ||
| No Democrat should be voting to advance Trump's nominees while all of this stuff is going on. | ||
| There has to be a political price to pay and we have a responsibility as a party to block everything that is happening while they're setting a literal match to the federal government and giving 19-year-olds classified access, potentially classified access to the US Treasury Department. | ||
| So we need to start blocking every Single procedural advancement on the Senate side in order to do that. | ||
| All right, first off, lady, point of order, it's not a literal match. | ||
| Literal means literal. | ||
| Literal means someone would be lighting a match and burning down a building over there. | ||
| I don't think they're doing that yet, although your people, your Antifa people, your BLM people, your Hamas people, they're the ones with the literal matches who burn American flags and attack the White House and, you know, attack federal courthouses and things of that nature. | ||
| That's number one. | ||
| Number two... | ||
| Donald Trump is the President of the United States and one of the... | ||
| Talk to you directly, AOC, because I know you're not that bright. | ||
| One of the things that the president gets to do is nominate people to be in his cabinet, and then the Senate gets to vote on those people. | ||
| And as it's usually done, the Senate does confirm those people, unless, as I've often said, they have some unbelievably glaring omission or something deeply, deeply wrong with their track record, history, etc., etc. | ||
| Beyond that, the point of the appointment process is... | ||
| Really just to make sure that there's none of that and then let them get through. | ||
| So if you would like to be an obstructionist, I know you don't like the fact that we are looking at the books because a lot of it's gonna point back at you, right? | ||
| It's gonna point back at the bureaucracy that you have supported, the machine that you have supported and your day is almost done and you know it and you'll be out on your ass soon enough and it cannot come too soon. | ||
| Here is a national treasure, you know him, Louisiana Senator John Kennedy, on Hannity and talking about how the cabinet is going to come together. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kash Patel and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard picked up support from Senator Susan Collins today. | |
| Do you believe, after speaking with your colleagues, that Republicans will hold the line and give the president the cabinet he's requested? | ||
| Yeah, I do. | ||
| I mean, I haven't done what we call whip count and talk to every particular senator, but we're together every day and you kind of get a feel for things. | ||
| And it's I think in only four or five instances have presidents of a particular party not had senators of the same party support his nominees. | ||
| And I don't think that's going to change this time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So there he's basically saying, look. | ||
| We got the numbers, right? | ||
| We have the Senate now, and especially because we have the tiebreaker, which they had to use, by the way, right? | ||
| So J.D. Vance, as the vice president, was the tiebreaker on the 50-50 in the Senate that made him Secretary of Defense. | ||
| But basically he's saying, look, the Republicans aren't going to peel away here, and most likely Trump's going to get all three of the big remaining ones, which are RFP, Kash Patel over at FBI. RFK, obviously, at HHS, and then Tulsi for DNI. And we just got breaking information just from the last minute or two. | ||
| This is from Vigilant Fox. | ||
| Breaking, RFK Jr. has just been approved by the Senate Finance Committee as the next Secretary of Health and Human Services, advancing his nomination to a full Senate vote. | ||
| It's going to happen, right? | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| I was completely convinced all along that if Kennedy got the nomination in the first place, if Trump went that route, he would be okay, because the MAHA, MAGA thing, it's just too strong to break right now. | ||
| So that one is going through, and we've got a little bit more. | ||
| This is from Nick Sorter. | ||
| Breaking the U.S. Senate's voicemail system is currently down due to the sheer amount of calls demanding that Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., and Kash Patel be confirmed. | ||
| My Capitol Hill sources tell me they are receiving over 600 calls per minute. | ||
| Keep up the pressure. | ||
| We are winning. | ||
| And there's the number if you want to call your senator. | ||
| It's 202-224. | ||
| Whoops, sorry, we went a little too fast for me there. | ||
| Phoenix, can you back up? | ||
| 202-224-3121 and demand they vote to confirm. | ||
| And then this one actually is huge. | ||
| This is also just in the last hour or so from Benny Johnson. | ||
| Breaking Senator Susan Collins announces she will be voting yes on confirming Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. | ||
| I think I can say this without betraying any trust. | ||
| When I saw Tulsi on Inauguration Day at an event, I chatted with her about, you know, I was like, how are you feeling? | ||
| This is kind of crazy. | ||
| It all came together and blah, blah, blah. | ||
| Why 10 liberals and Democrats and Republicans? | ||
| I was like, how are you feeling all this? | ||
| And she said that she thought that the one that would be the toughest to get is Susan Collins. | ||
| It sounds like that one has fallen into place and she will likely be confirmed who that is right. | ||
| So now I want to just connect this to more broadly what's happening. | ||
| Culturally, which is as the wide tent widens, as sanity prevails, as we start realizing that one plus one is two again, and we get normalcy back, and we start painting a positive vision to the future, and we exert American power out of authenticity of the American dream rather than ignorance. | ||
| What is going to happen is that the cultural shift will basically bring everybody our way. | ||
| So writer Peggy Noonan was on Real Time with Bill Maher, and these are two not-Trump people, to say the least. | ||
| But here they are acknowledging now that Trump is more transparent than anyone on the other side. | ||

Donald Trump, who also was a reflection of changes, I think. | |
| Within us, a sort of desire for a politics that's maybe a little rougher and more direct. | ||
| A little? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And maybe more cutting and maybe more... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I get it. | ||
| You know, I mean, they asked them a question today, and I'm sure if you're of the type of person who just always hates the one team and loves what the other one does, they asked them a question about the crash. | ||
| They said, will you visit the crash site? | ||
| Now, every other politician would go, of course, it was a tragedy. | ||
| And he went, it's the water. | ||
| What do you want me to do, swim there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I was like, exactly right. | |
| You're exactly right. | ||
| It's a stupid question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you've got just the answer you deserve. | |
| And that is why they like him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| He also, it's so interesting to me that he meets with the press all the time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Normally, if you're a member of the press, you're wondering, what's the president really thinking and how's he going to play it? | |
| With Donald Trump, you never wonder that. | ||
| He will actually tell you what he's thinking and how he might play it. | ||
| So it's an interesting, it's the positive side of a mixed bag, I guess. | ||
| Guys, I don't think I can overstate this. | ||
| Like, do you realize that there you have, again, these are two people who did not vote for Trump and we don't have to do the whole Bill Maher thing as always, but that in his own audience there, as he's making fun of Trump in a positive way, right? | ||
| Like he's basically saying Trump isn't a bullshit artist and his own audience is applauding that now. | ||
| That tells you that something so massive has shifted here. | ||
| And it's happening quickly. | ||
| So now I would like to, before I show you the last clip, I want to read what I started the show with today, because that is the point. | ||
| The thing that the Democrats and the media fear most is not that Trump is Hitler, it's that he's going to fix things so fast that everyone will realize how evil they are. | ||
| And that's exactly what's happening right now, right? | ||
| So that's why Peggy Noonan and Bill Maher, because they aren't... | ||
| Broken brain. | ||
| They may have been voted the wrong way, but they aren't broken brain. | ||
| They're realizing it. | ||
| It's why these people that go on CNN and MSNBC will increasingly get more hysterical. | ||
| It's why AOC will be more irrelevant and all of those things. | ||
| And why is it? | ||
| It's because Donald Trump, for all of his idiosyncratic stuff and everything else, he was doing something truer than any of them. | ||
| And did you know there was a guy up from Canada, and I'm not talking about Trudeau this time, who's been talking about the truth for quite some time, and I think maybe he was making a point? | ||

One way to increase the probability that things will unfold for you properly is to not lie. | |
| Just stop lying. | ||
| Stop saying things you believe to be untrue. | ||
| Stop doing things you know to be wrong. | ||
| Just start with that. | ||
| You'll get closer and closer to the truth. | ||
| And the truth is the adventure of life. | ||
| That's the advantage to the truth. | ||
| You have the world on your side. | ||
| Because if you're lying about things, you're opposing reality. | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| Who are you to oppose reality? | ||
| Good luck. | ||
| Doesn't it kind of feel like that's what's going on right now? | ||
| There are more of us doing that. | ||
| There are less lies being laundered through the system right now. | ||
| There are more people who are aiming at something, who are on the adventure of life, who are like, we can fix this, we can dream again, we can get the Government and the media off our back. | ||
| We can start realizing that reality is we can stop debating things that don't need to be debated anymore. | ||
| And if we aim positive, if we aim honestly at something and we stop with all of the BS that we can fix things like that, I think so, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| And that is the Rubin Report program for today. | ||
| We've got a post-game show in 30 seconds at rubinreport.locals.com. | ||
| Do we have the image? | ||
| That Joseph came up with. | ||
| I did mention that Crockett, what's her name? | ||
| Lindsay Crockett? | ||
| Jamie Crockett? | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Jasmine Crockett over there. | ||
| She was on CNN. She's like the new squad member. | ||
| That she was wearing the Seinfeld puffy shirt. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| The woman is wearing... | ||
| Look at that! | ||
| That is the puffy shirt from Seinfeld. | ||
| Which, if you don't remember the episode, he ended up wearing because the woman who... | ||
| Designed the shirt. | ||
| She was a low talker. | ||
| And she said, could you wear this on the Today Show? | ||
| And he didn't realize what she thought. | ||
| Got a funny cold clothes for you. | ||
| We'll see you in the postgame. |
