Dave Rubin, Alex Stein, and Jeffrey Tucker analyze RFK Jr.'s confirmation as HHS Secretary despite Democratic opposition, signaling a "Maha liberal" realignment against the establishment. They examine Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) auditing federal waste, citing former Treasury Secretaries' claims of trillions in unaccounted spending since 1946 and specific cuts to DEI contracts. The discussion extends to Trump's Ukraine territorial concessions, AI debates between Vance and Harris, and Tucker's dismissal of transhumanism as "baloney," ultimately framing these shifts as a decisive break from the old political order.

Well, I'm just putting that out there as a trigger warning to you guys.
Obviously, anything that Alex says is under duress throughout the next 40 minutes or so.
And Jeffrey, we'll focus on you, a meat eater, more so.
But we're going to talk about RFK and Tulsi, obviously, all of the Doge stuff.
And then really the fact that Trump in this last month is, as they're saying now, even on the televised mental institution known as MSNBC, he's flooding the end zone.
He is just doing a million things at once.
We are watching change happen so fast.
It's spectacular.
And before we get to all of that, first let's talk about BHMD-1.
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.

All right, so the big news, obviously, was Tulsi's confirmation for DNI, which happened on Wednesday.
We'll get to that in a moment.
And then yesterday, Bobby Kennedy, officially head of HHS. We've got some info here from the Daily Wire.
On Thursday, the GOP-led Senate confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to become President Donald Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services, ending a saga which members grappled with the nominee's skeptical views on vaccines.
The final vote was 52 to 48. All but one Republican.
and voted for the cabinet pick Senator Mitch McConnell from Kentucky, a childhood polio survivor who had previously warned against undermining public confidence in proven cures, was the only GOP lawmaker to break ranks and vote against Kennedy Jr., along with all of the Democrats and a pair of independents who caucus with them.
In November, Trump picked Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS, saying, for too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, Trump added the safety and health of all Americans is the most important role of any administration and HHS will play a big role in helping everybody ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals,
pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming health crisis in this country.
Mr. Kennedy will restore these agencies to the traditions of gold standard scientific research and beacons of transparency to end the chronic disease epidemic and to make America great and healthy again.
Jeffrey, I will go to you first, not only because you're a meat eater, but also because every time I bring you on the show, for now and in perpetuity, I will always point out that you were right on COVID from day one when it came to lockdowns and masks and social distancing and everything else.
And I think it's worth repeating for the rest of your life because you...
He got it when most people did not.
Seeing someone like Bobby come in with a little skepticism as it relates to science, you must be quite pleased today.
His book, The Real Anthony Fauci, came out in November of 2021, and it blasted onto the scene.
The NIH at the time, the CDC, worked to try to suppress that book.
They wrote Amazon and said, take this book down, don't let anybody search for it.
That led to lawsuits.
The courts have said that he was unjustly censored.
His second book, called The Wuhan Cover-Up, is even better.
But both of them are heavily documented.
This is the world's top, most erudite, passionate, and knowledgeable critic of the key thing that drives this nomination and this confirmation, which, contrary to everything you read, Is, in fact, the COVID lockdowns themselves.
They shut our churches, they shut our schools, they shut our...
They turned off...
Weddings and funerals and made you stay in your home and practically abolished dentistry for six weeks and so on.
It goes.
It was an egregious time.
And then why?
Why did they do that?
So that we could take the magic injection, which was going to cure us, and it didn't.
So this is the scandal of the ages, and it didn't just happen in the U.S., it happened all over the world.
So this nomination and this confirmation is all about a massive...
If only symbolic so far, repudiation of everything that's happened to us over five years.
I mean, Dave, this really, and we're trying to keep it light, but this isn't a funny thing because Dr. Fauci somehow already got a...
The only way they were able to get the emergency use authorization of the vaccine was to say that there was no other remedies from COVID. So basically, they murdered people in order to make it so that they can give this vaccine to everybody.
So this is not that hard to solve.
So RFK, really, for me, the pressure is on because I lost my mom to COVID. They gave remdesivir and she died.
And, you know, it's just so obvious that the protocol in the hospital was not to save people's lives.
And when you look at Nigeria, they had a lower COVID mortality rate than the United States of America.
They couldn't give anybody ivermectin.
There's no other protocols that a hospital could give other than remdesivir, which was killing, you know.
Thousands.
If anybody died, it was from remdesivir because a lot of people got the vaccine.
We're fine.
A lot of people got vaccinated and had heart attacks, myocarditis.
So it's just it's easy to kind of solve this puzzle, put it all together.
So now the pressure is on for RFK and I like RFK. But, you know, right now.
I don't really want retribution.
I just want it all transparent.
I just want the truth out there.
That will make me feel better at the end of the day.
Twenty years, I've gotten up every morning on my knees and prayed that God would put me in a position where I can end the childhood and chronic disease epidemic in this country.
on August 23rd of last year, God sent me President Trump, all right?
He's now given me, he's given every promise that he's made to me, He's kept his word in every account and gone way beyond it.
I'm so grateful to you, Mr. President.
A lot of people told me that I couldn't trust President Trump.
I better get it in writing.
And we did a handshake, and everything that he told me he was going to do, he has done.
And I'm so grateful to him, and I've told you before, I genuinely believe that you are a pivotal historical figure, and you are going to transform this country.
First off, I'll never get over the fact that he's married to Cheryl Hines, who is Larry David's wife on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Like, there's just some kayfabe thing going on there with that.
But Jeffrey, look, as a libertarian, you don't want big government, but I suspect you do want competent people in whatever government positions we have to have, right?
Article 2, Section 1 says the president is head of the executive branch.
And now you've got courts all over the country saying, no, that's not true.
He can't hire and fire.
He can't tell the agencies what to do.
He can't deny them money.
They're trying to take his presidency away from him.
And people are calling Trump a despot.
It's a strange despot that reimposes free speech, that wants to control government power, that wants to gut the executive agencies of the people that are oppressing us.
So that's the kind of power that he's using so far.
And you've got these lower federal courts all saying, no, you can't do that.
So this is going to have to go to the Supreme Court.
We've got to have a president in this country.
It's arguable that it's been a long time since we've really had one.
Maybe a very long time.
He's trying to be president.
And yes, that makes him a pivotal figure.
And his interests...
Our overlap very tightly with RFK, who's been suing government agencies for years and years.
One of the things they both have to do is release all the documents, to Alex's point.
We just need to know.
And I think that might be one of the things that RFK can do at HHS and people at FDA and NIH and so on.
We need to get the information out there.
Post it on X. We'll take it from there.
I think that's going to be his real power.
Because otherwise he's dealing with, think about it, 80,000 bureaucrats underneath him?
Alex, one of my calculations when I was supporting DeSantis during the primaries, and I have no problem having a mea culpa about it, was that I thought that Trump wasn't going to be able to staff with the right people.
You know, this was two years ago.
It was a very different world than now.
I have no problem admitting that not only was I wrong, but I was cataclysmically wrong.
And I think it's great that we're here at this very moment.
But when you see Bobby, and we'll get to Tulsi in a moment, and hopefully Cash gets through, and Pete Hegseth, who's doing a bang-up job already, and Rubio's crushing it, it's like we have competency back.
And we completely forgot, over the last four years at least, and maybe it was longer than that, what competency was.
Well, you know, it's funny you say that, because when you look at 2020, you think like, oh, maybe, you know, this was the worst thing ever.
January 6th happened and Biden went in.
But really, for Donald Trump, it couldn't have been any better that he got to take those four years off.
Everybody got to see how terrible things are with the shadow president, how untalented Kamala Harris is.
So really, for Trump, it gave him four years to kind of sit back and strategize on what moves he needed to make and what his base really wanted.
And listen, I was with you, Dave.
I was like, there's no way they're going to let Trump win.
They're going to try to use some sort of legal way to stop him because they kept on trying to give him all these phony charges.
So I really thought the possibility of them ever letting him be president again was basically zero.
And I'm so happy that I was wrong.
And I campaigned for Trump.
I debated for Trump.
But I still didn't really think it was real until about a week after the election.
So those four years off has made him like a ninja currently.
And that's why...
These people are so frustrated because he's able to kind of show them, compare and contrast why he's already so much of a better president than the last administration.
Politico ran a very interesting article yesterday asking the question why more pharmaceutical companies and medical doctors and, you know, public health people didn't come out in more overt opposition to Robert F. Kennedy.
And their answer was that they knew it was hopeless.
That the support from him is wide and broad.
There's a ferocious movement out there that's brought together MAGA, MAHA, and DOGE. And we've never seen anything like this.
And they realized it was completely hopeless.
So they just gave up.
Now the fight really begins because, of course, they're going to try to use every bureaucratic trick.
In the book to stop his influence, just like they're doing with Doge and they're doing this with Hegseth and so on.
So it's going to be a daily struggle.
I'm really all for champagne celebrations, but really, the real struggle begins now.
Yeah, no, there's a fire to come, and I think everyone gets it.
Alex, hang on one sec, because let's get to Tulsi real quick, because obviously she was sworn in on Wednesday, and I think we've got an image of that.
That was at the White House, and then right after that, just four seconds, yeah, I got the hug.
I was at the swearing-in.
I think we've got the video right there.
And I can tell you what I whispered to her that she laughed at was, I said, my work here is now done.
I can retire, because I, for years, was encouraging her to leave the Democrat Party and do the whole thing.
And she did it, and I'm feeling very proud.
And it's like, man, this is a woman who not only was a Democrat four years ago, but who Hillary Clinton was calling a Russian asset while she was a current member of our military.
And Alex, it's just like, man, the all-star team is here.
Well, and that's why they really can't stop them from getting nominated or actually getting the position, because if you really look at RFK and Tulsi, they're both basically liberal.
I think, you know, you look at Miam Bialik, that woman from, I forget which show she was on, like, 30 Rock from the Sun.
One of those shows, one of those stupid shows.
But Hollywood used to be anti-vax.
Jim Carrey, Ginny McCarthy, they used to go around on every show talking about how they didn't like vaccines.
And they weren't canceled.
But it became this, like, weird cultural shift, I guess, you know, after the Occupy movement where these liberals...
The rules felt like all of a sudden they had to be, you know, support wholeheartedly our health care system, which has only, you know, gotten worse as we've gotten, you know, along in our country's existence.
You know, our health care system sucks, but these people all support it blindly.
So it's weird because these were the people that occupied and were anti-vaccine.
So we've had a huge cultural shift.
And now you've got people like Tulsi, who's super talented, who's moderate.
Same with RFK. So they're for everybody and they're the populist party.
And I think that's why Donald Trump's such a great president, because he's a true populist.
Jeffrey, how worried that even, you know, you mentioned Doge and getting caught up in the courts, which we'll get to in the next segment, but someone like Tulsi coming into DNI, having to do major reform, are we using our own systems and institutions against us?
The other day, Trump sent out an order inviting all the CIA employees to resign.
The first edict, the first offer of buyouts did not include the intelligence agencies.
And after about a week, they rethought that and said, all right, you know, you've got to go too.
So I think it's very likely they're all going to be gutted.
You know, I'm toying around, Dave, with a theory that what's actually going on here is...
The formation of a kind of a third political party within the structure of the existing two.
Almost everybody in a top leadership position within the Trump administration are refugees from the Democrats, right?
And then you've got, but all the Democrats voted against, 100% of them voted against RFK, even though he's a scion of the greatest Democrat family in the country.
And the idea that you now have McConnell, who's the old irrelevant Republican, now with the Democrats, and then you have all of the good liberals, say the Maha liberals, are now joined with MAGA, I think the trick over the next year...
To your point earlier about the fights that are coming, will be to make sure that they don't drive a wedge on whatever those small differences are, let's say on abortion or something, that Maha might, you know, that Bobby or Tulsi might have with the traditional MAGA person.
I think that's the key.
But we got to keep going.
Let's get over to Doge, but first, Rumble Premium.
Free speech is under attack, but Rumble refuses to back down.
Rumble has always believed in empowering voices, no matter how unpopular.

Let's turn the tide together.
All right, so let's jump over to Doge, because that's really the meat of where everything is at right now.
And I can tell you, having been in D.C. for a couple of days, it's what everyone's talking about at every table, at every bar, everywhere.
So this is wild.
So this is a director for an NGO called Project on Government Oversight.
He was invited to the Capitol to talk about government waste.
And because irony is dead, he's blind.
unidentified
Waste is different from pride.
Fraud is different from abuse, and abuse is different from both.
When we talk about improper payments, they are a subset of those other three categories.
But that doesn't tell us the whole picture either.
Sometimes improper payments are a function of bad record keeping.
Sometimes they are a function of outdated information technology systems.
Sometimes they come about through human error, and sometimes they come about through negligence.
There are a variety of reasons why improper payments happen.
It just simply is not the case.
That improper payments are only a function of bad people doing bad things with bad intent.
Alex, I'm not making fun of blind people here, but the optics, let's say, of having a blind man from an NGO come in and explain that we can't see the fraud or kind of give us the shell game on all the ways that they're allowed to mismanage things, like, come on, scriptwriters, come on!
Well, Dave, I mean, if you really thought about it, if you're in the writer's room and somebody pitched the idea that, hey, let's make a blind guy in charge of the oversight committee, they'd say, no, that's just not realistic.
We're trying to bring normal systems of accounting to government.
There is not a business on the street on which I live that doesn't have books in the back that are checked every day.
If there's $9 missing, they're going to figure it out.
Every payment going out has to have an invoice attached to it, and there has to be a line in there for what purpose and who got it and what was bought with it.
It's called accounting, right?
But listen, I don't know if the two of you saw this article the other day, and I keep screaming about this.
I can't believe it's not a national scandal.
But four days ago, the New York Times ran an article by five former secretaries of Treasury.
They said in this article, they were really upset that Doge had penetrated the holiest of holies, namely the payment systems of the federal government.
Because they said that space belongs only to, these are their words, a small group of non-political civil servants are supposed to control the payment systems.
And nobody else is allowed.
And they said that this has been true since 1946. That's what they said Which means that no elected leader in this country or their appointees has actually had real-time documentary access to federal payment systems,
which I asked I asked a grok how much that would be and they came up with 198 trillion dollars have been flowing through that over the last 80 years and there's been no independent audit ever and not even a single person elected or appointed by the voters has ever seen those books until last week okay so I mean like I know you we've all become cynics we've We've all become dark.
We're all trying not to be blackpilled.
We're all almost there.
This was something I never even imagined, nor did I imagine that five former secretaries of the Treasury would go to the New York Times and admit this in defense of perpetuating the system as if it's a good one.
And as I tweeted out and it caught fire, it's like, guys, anyone watching this, if you don't care about the government or anything else or fraud or deep state or any of that, anyone that has ever run a business or even how you handle your own accounting when you have to do taxes at the end of the year, imagine if you went to your accountant and he was like, no, I'm not going to show you your taxes.
Dave, just yesterday, I got a call from the person who keeps our books because, in fact, the Brownstone Institute had a $9 charge on its credit card and nobody knew what it was for.
So I spent several hours running it down.
We eventually called the bank.
I eventually ran it down.
But this is what you do.
That's called accounting.
Accounting is related to accountability.
Those are all the same things.
So that's all.
Really, we need to be clear about that.
That is all that Doge is trying to do.
Bring normal standards of financial accounting to government.
That is what the hysteria is about.
That's what the panic is about.
That's what the freakout is about.
And imagine from Elon's point of view, he runs I don't know how many businesses.
So you don't have accounting?
With the federal government?
You don't have independent audits of anything?
What could this possibly mean?
No company can go public and sell public stocks on the stock exchange without having independent auditors come in and really they follow every nickel that is spent in these companies.
You have to pass the audit.
Or else you can't sell your stock.
The government doesn't have, apparently.
It's been 80 years since there's been any kind of serious look at the books.
I mean, the American people need to know about this.
They need to understand.
They need to imagine the full implications of that.
As for the actual receipts, we are happy to provide them, and I actually brought some today because all of you know I love to bring the receipts.
We have contracts upon contracts that we can send and provide this information to you.
Let me be very clear.
We are not trying to hide anything.
We have been incredibly transparent, and we will continue to be.
These are screenshots of contracts that they found across our government.
This is a DEI contract, $36,000 for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
That is against the President's policy.
This is a $3.4 million contract, a council for inclusive innovation at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Department of Commerce, another DEI contract that Doge identified.
I can continue to go through these.
Oh, I love this one.
$57,000 for climate change in Sri Lanka.
What is this doing to continue the interests of the American people?
Absolutely nothing.
These are the line items across the federal government.
Doge is identifying daily.
They're moving very fast.
There's a lot of paper that we can show you, but we're happy to do it.
This administration has been more than transparent about what Doge is doing.
And here's one of their tweets that they posted about the mine.
I believe this is in Pennsylvania, where the federal employee retirement system is being processed.
Did anybody know this was even happening in our country before Elon Musk talked about it in the Oval Office yesterday?
Alex, it's genuinely mind-blowing, and we're seeing so much of this, and it's billions and billions of dollars.
I do want to note that my director, Connor, is a big fan of the trans-Peruvian comic book that we were funding, so if we let that one slide for a moment, the rest of this is a bit much, wouldn't you say?
Yeah, you know, the transgender studies in Ecuador for $25 million, you're right.
Why not?
They need to learn how to tuck it, and it's not cheap.
You know, it takes supplies, and it takes discipline.
So, yeah, you know, I'm so happy, but you know what's really scary, Dave?
Are the bootlickers that are, like, getting mad that Elon Musk is auditing the government?
I mean, how is this not a bipartisan thing?
How is it that not both sides want to get a little transparency on where our money is going?
And maybe potentially even the people on social services, if they had half a brain, maybe they would actually have social services that benefited them instead of Venezuelan gang members in New York City that get a free hotel room for, you know, months on end.
So speaking of the bootlickers who are defending the system that has been stealing from us, we the people, check out this video.
So this is Scott Jennings, who is like the sole lone sane voiceover on CNN. He's shutting down the nonsense about Doge being not transparent, and you'll see what the meme makers of the internet did with it.
They are making routine announcements about the things they are finding, and they are inviting questions about the things they are finding every single day.
unidentified
But by definition, he's not being transparent.
They're not providing data for the things that they say they have found evidence of.
They just aren't.
I mean, the White House has provided...
You can make announcements, and he also did admit that he actually...
I don't know if you watched the press conference with Elon the other day when he had little X on his shoulders.
But he explained something really interesting in that.
I was so intrigued by this.
He was trying to account for why is it their Social Security recipients who are 150 years old continue to get payments.
And he made this funny remark that...
He doesn't know anybody that's 150 years old, and if there is such a person, they should be famous.
But he explained that within the government, that the entire thing is about minimization of complaints.
He explained this, that if you're sending millions of dollars out, or billions of dollars out, or whatever, and you start asking questions about it, and you deny the payment, then you're going to get emails and phone calls.
It's much easier just to let it go through, even if it doesn't pass accounting standards.
And this has been going on for decade after decade after decade.
It's just like bleeding money.
It's just been pouring out with nobody really entirely aware of where it's going and nobody exercising any kind of controls.
This is what happens when you put an administrative state in charge of the world's biggest, most powerful government with an unlimited printing press.
They go crazy and they've been going crazy for, you know, apparently since 1946.
And and Doge is the first person who's like the first institution that's actually looking at this.
And and and Trump is so scandalized by that that he's now passed an executive order giving Doge access to anything and everything within within the government.
They need to go in there and at least look at the books, get read-only access as a predicate to getting the auditors in and figuring out, listen, we've got four years of amazing revelations coming towards us.
If we're really going to get independent audits of the IRS and the Federal Reserve and, you know...
All at 425 agencies, we're going to find out some unbelievable things.
I'll tell you something else.
I think it's entirely possible that things are so bad that it very well could be, I'm not going to predict this with certainty, that Trump's first budget that he signs from Congress, it could actually be balanced.
And I used to, you know, maybe like you, when presidents would say, oh, we're going to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse, I'd always kind of dismiss that.
We have already saved $45.59 billion taxpayer dollars.
That's about $303 per taxpayer, which is only 2.3.
They've done 60 total initiatives.
They're just diving in.
And to illustrate the point that you made earlier, Jeffrey, about the realignment that we're seeing now, the decent libs saying, come on over to the MAGA side and watching the old school Republicans go to the Democrats, check out this video.
You might know some of these.
Well, you might say once decent libs.
I don't know what to call them anymore.
But Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, what they used to think about government waste.
unidentified
This report tells us how to cut waste, cut red tape, streamline the bureaucracy, change procurement rules, change the personnel rules, and create a government that works better and costs less.
Justice Department Reversals00:15:45
unidentified
I've read it.
And where it says the president should?
The President will.
Among the 800 recommendations, eliminating 12% of the federal workforce, merging some government agencies like the FBI, the DEA, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, closing hundreds of government offices outside Washington.
From the day I took office, one of the commitments that I made to the American people was that we would do a better job here in Washington in rooting out wasteful spending.
unidentified
We thought that it was entirely appropriate for Our governments and our agencies to try to root out waste, large and small, in a systematic way.
It means cutting some programs that I think are worthy, but we may not be able to afford right now.
A lot of the action is in Congress and legislative, but in the meantime, we don't need to wait for Congress in order to do something about wasteful spending that's out there.
We haven't seen as much action out of Congress as we'd like, Alex, you are a world-class entertainer, and when you're writing a script, a movie or a sitcom or whatever it might be, the key line that they always tell you is, show it, don't say it.
And those guys just said it, but Donald Trump is showing it.
That's what's so great here, because it's like they're pointing out, hey.
There are people stealing from you, and they're defending the stealing right in front of your face.
So it's like, okay, keep going hysterical, guys, because when the budget comes back and it is balanced, or inflation starts going down, or your taxes get lowered because the government doesn't need as much money, I think that's a pretty winning argument for the most part.
We'll have more on the media reaction to some of this in just a sec, but first, 1775 Coffee.

To bounce off what I've been saying, you're not even really seeing that from Democrats, though, either.
There's so much happening right now that something as major as this, and, you know, let's say Donald Trump was president two years ago.
They made all these announcements about their plan to end the war in Ukraine, and it involved Russia keeping Ukrainian territory.
There would be a firestorm in Congress.
You would see people lighting up, people giving floor speeches.
It would take up an entire day's news cycle.
But there's about 15 other things right now that deserves our attention, and so this is getting kind of buried.
Let me read Donald Trump's Truth Social post about what's happening in Russia right now, because to your point, it's going to be resolved exactly the way most of us thought it was going to be resolved about three years ago.
Trump posted this yesterday.
I just had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with President Putin of Russia.
We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, energy, artificial intelligence, the power of the dollar, and various other subjects.
We both reflected on the great history of our nations and the fact that we fought so successfully together in World War II, remembering that Russia lost tens of millions of people and we likewise lost so many.
We each talked about the strengths of our respective nations and the great benefit that we will someday have in working together.
But first, as we both agreed, we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the war with Russia-Ukraine.
President Putin even used my very strong campaign motto of common sense.
We both believe very strongly in it.
We agreed to work together very closely, including visiting each other's nations, We have also agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we will begin by calling President Zelensky of Ukraine to inform him of the conversation, something which I will be doing right now.
I have asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe, and NSA Advisor Michael Waltz, and Ambassador and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to lead the negotiations, which I feel strongly will be successful.
Millions of people have died in a war that would not have happened if I were president, but it did happen, so it must end.
No more lives should be lost.
I want to thank President Putin for his time and effort with respect to this call and for the release yesterday of Mark Fogel, a wonderful man that I personally greeted last night at the White House.
I believe this will lead to a successful conclusion, hopefully soon.
I mean, Jeffrey, I know your feelings about the Ukraine war and the boondoggle and the money and all of that stuff, but some sort of negotiated settlement, kind of like Alex just laid out there, where there's gonna be some sort of territorial concession by Ukraine.
NATO's probably gonna be a little bit off of Russia's borders, and this was all just a giant waste, and I think deeply connected to the money laundering that we've been talking about for the first 40 minutes or so.
None of this would have happened without the money.
It would have stopped long ago.
And it wouldn't have even begun were it not, as Trump pointed out, were it not for Biden's announcement that Ukraine would join NATO. That's what provoked this conflict in the first place.
And so I'm so glad Trump is saying this.
And it's so interesting to listen to these MSNBC reporters.
We're here today because we have filed charges against the state of New York.
We have filed charges against Kathy Hochul.
We have filed charges against Letitia James and Mark Schroeder, who is with DMV. This is a new DOJ, and we are taking steps to protect Americans, American citizens, and angel moms, like the mom standing right behind me, who you're going to hear from in a moment.
New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens.
It stops.
It stops today.
As you know, we sued Illinois, and New York didn't listen.
So now, you're next.
Millions of illegal aliens with violent records have flooded into our communities, bringing violence and deadly drugs with them.
Here, real quick, just to be nice, because I'm feeling it today on this Friday.
Joseph, we just let him out of the cage for a second.
Do you love your job?
Do you love your job?
Wait, a little closer, a little closer.
Look at that.
Thumbs up.
He loves his job.
We let him out of the cage.
It's very exciting.
All right, go back, go back.
Jeffrey, the federal government stopping sanctuary cities and sanctuary states from, I would say, destroying themselves as New York and Los Angeles and so many other cities have, this would be competent good governance?
He gave a fire permit to a restaurant in exchange for, I don't know, a thousand dollar cake or something.
It's like, what?
This is not mega...
But once you realize that he was complaining about the fact that major portions of Manhattan real estate and hotels are being turned over to recruit...
Fake voters from all over the world to inhabit fancy apartments at taxpayer expense so they could make sure that New York stayed blue, which is in fact what was going on.
And he blew the whistle on it.
And of course the indictments came down from the Justice Department, right?
It was outrageous to see this corruption just...
The corruption was not Eric Adams.
It was the Department of Justice that went after him.
And so to see that Bond has figured this out, they all knew this.
In fact, Trump said this at one dinner because he saw him sitting out there.
He said, they're going after you, too.
You must be doing some good stuff.
Of course!
Of course!
So the new Justice Department is reversing that and many, many other things that have been going on in this country.
The United States of America is the leader in AI, and our administration plans to keep it that way.
The U.S. possesses all components across the full AI stack, including advanced semiconductor design, frontier algorithms, and of course transformational applications.
Now, the computing power this stack requires is integral to advancing AI technology.
And to safeguard America's advantage, the Trump administration will ensure that the most powerful AI systems are built in the U.S. with American-designed and manufactured chips.
And part of the issue here is what information is going into the machine that will then determine, and we can predict then if we think about what information is going in, what then will be produced in terms of decisions and opinions that may be made through that process.
I'd be doing this from Gulag 42B. Alex, I won't bludgeon you and make you comment on Kamala Harris, but that video right there where JD is clearly laying out that we better lead on this, and he comes from the tech world also, and was a VC guy, knows a lot of these guys.
He deals with this in a mature, honest way.
Well, just watch this video.
I didn't show this to you guys before.
We normally send everyone the rundown.
This was just an addition, and I thought you could comment on this because it's coming whether we like it or not.

This is Melody, one of our robots.
She speaks various languages, and she's built in a modular fashion, so we can take off her face, replace it with another face, and have her speaking as a different character.
Our skills are having very realistic skin.
And our AI is very different.
It's functioned to create companion and friendship and social type interactions with people.
So our robots don't do physical human labor, but they're really meant for personal interaction.
So you can think about it at a theme park, at a conference like this, or even at a senior's home.
I mean, I'm going to need a long charger, though, to keep that thing charged up.
But you know what's sad, though?
Dave, this is what they predict, is that in the future that there's going to be some sort of neural link that hooks to your brain, and that will immediately create an orgasm.
And they say that human beings will just give themselves a thousand orgasms a day.
I hope that doesn't happen, but that's what this technology, that's what their goal is, believe it or not.
So, very insane.
Do not get a sex robot.
Go on one of these dating apps.
There's a lot of these women that want to do it just as bad as these.
Well, look, Jeffrey, you were right on COVID, and maybe you will be right on people having sex with robots.
Only time will tell.
Gentlemen, I thank you very much, guys.
We got a postgame for everybody else in about 30 seconds, rubinreport.locals.com.
And if you have not seen it yet, yesterday's show, because I was traveling back from D.C., we aired my interview with Ro Khanna, who is a Democrat.
He is the first Democrat that I have sat down with in about five years, even though we invite them all the time, outside of Tulsi and Bobby, who obviously are no longer Democrats.
