*music* I love you, you love me We're best friends like friends should be With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you Won't you say you love me too? | |
| Oh my *music* You know, I don't usually start the show with an apology, but I just freaked myself out. | ||
| It's like the fourth time I've watched that, and it gets worse every time. | ||
| Sorry about that. | ||
| How you doing? | ||
| I'm Dave Rubin. | ||
| This is the Rubin Report. | ||
| It is March 5th, 2025. As always, live streaming on Rumble, YouTube, and Locals. | ||
| Postgame show, RubinReport.Locals.com. | ||
| And I'm very excited for today's show. | ||
| We have some informative stuff. | ||
| I'd say we have a little bit of comedy, a little bit of wit, some wacky stuff. | ||
| It's a little bit of everything. | ||
| That is what I can promise you for the next hour of your life. | ||
| And of course, there's a million shows that you could be watching to recap President Trump's speech last night. | ||
| And they're all going to kind of start the same way and show a lot of the same clips. | ||
| So I want to take a little different tack at it to start. | ||
| I want to start with something else for a moment that will frame what we're doing today, which is that my buddy Stephen A. Smith went on The View. | ||
| Yesterday. | ||
| And they were not thrilled with this guy, which is kind of funny because he's basically a lifelong Dem. | ||
| He did not vote for Donald Trump. | ||
| He still has repeatedly said, although he doesn't have any major problems with Trump, that he doesn't support him. | ||
| There's also some strange polls out there. | ||
| I mean, and this just shows you, and he's even admitted it, how thin the Dem bench is, that he's one of the top frontrunners for the Democrat nomination four years from now. | ||
| So the whole thing's a little wacky. | ||
| But anyway, he goes on The View yesterday. | ||
| So this is... | ||
| Just hours before Trump's big speech last night. | ||
| And Joy was trying to make it seem that Trump does not have a mandate, despite winning the popular vote and the Electoral College and the House and the Senate and the whole freaking thing. | ||
| And Stephen A. put her in her place. | ||
| And I think we'll use that as the sort of opener for everything that Trump did later in the evening. | ||
| He's only been in office for six weeks. | ||
| Seems like six years, doesn't it? | ||
| And he's been going around with his cronies touting his so-called landslide and blowout win. | ||
| But he won the popular vote by 1.5%, one of the smallest ever, and he won the general election by less than 50%. | ||
| So what kind of mandate is this really? | ||
| Well, it is a mandate, and I'm going to explain why. | ||
| And I don't mind the question, but let me be very clear. | ||
| I'm no supporter of Trump. | ||
| I'm a supporter of truth and the facts. | ||
| And here's the facts. | ||
| The man won every swing state. | ||
| He increased in terms of his voter turnout in his favor from the standpoint of blacks, Latinos, and young voters. | ||
| He increased his numbers in that regard from 2020. Eighty-nine percent of the counties shifted to the right. | ||
| That's a mandate. | ||
| We can sit up there and play around all we want to. | ||
| In 2020, Trump didn't win the popular vote. | ||
| He didn't win the electoral college vote. | ||
| A matter of fact, the Republicans hadn't won the popular vote, if I remember correctly, since 2004. But they did this year. | ||
| So 20 years after they last won the popular vote, they won the popular vote. | ||
| They won the electoral college vote. | ||
| The man won every swing state. | ||
| And on top of it, 89% of the counties shifted. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| How people can look at that and say, there's no mandate. | ||
| There's a mandate. | ||
| Well, it's a different definition of a mandate, I guess. | ||
| But the problem is that if you're the Democratic Party and you lost 49.8% to 48.3% and you're looking at that 1.5% dip, that's an excuse for you to say, what we did really wasn't that bad. | ||
| We should continue to do that. | ||
| No, don't continue to do that. | ||
| That is a beautiful example of why Ben Shapiro coined the phrase, facts don't care about your feelings. | ||
| Joy has a feeling. | ||
| Her feeling is that Trump doesn't have a mandate because she doesn't like Trump. | ||
| And then Stephen A., who opens it by saying, I'm no supporter of Trump, which again, Stephen A., we should discuss further on camera and over some steak. | ||
| He then just lays out all of the reasons, the massive shifts that we saw, and all of the swing states and everything else. | ||
| I don't need to repeat all of it. | ||
| And then she just sits there, well, I guess we have a different definition of mandate. | ||
| Yeah, because if it had been Biden or Kamala that had won by 1.5% of the popular vote and everything else, you would be saying, if the things were reversed right now, what would the Democrats be saying? | ||
| They would be saying, well, we got the Dem. | ||
| The Dems the president, the Dems got the House, the Dems got the Senate, mandate. | ||
| Like, it's just so damn obvious. | ||
| Okay, so I want to put that there, because then Trump gave what I think was, and I've said this a couple times over the years when he's given great speeches, I think that was the single greatest speech he's ever given. | ||
| I was at... | ||
| The Madison Square Garden rally a few weeks before he was elected. | ||
| And it was incredible. | ||
| Wait, was that before he was elected or before he was sworn in? | ||
| It was before he was elected, right? | ||
| Oh yeah, it was like the week before the election. | ||
| And it was absolutely incredible. | ||
| The speech, the energy, you know, they said it was a Nazi rally and all the usual stuff. | ||
| But what Trump did last night, blending truth with results, with humor and love for country was... | ||
| It was probably the best speech I've heard in my lifetime. | ||
| So let's start with him going after the woke. | ||
| We've ended the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and indeed the private sector and our military. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And our country will be woke no longer. | |
| End in sight. | ||
| The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense with no security, with no anything. | ||
| Do you want to keep it going for another five years? | ||
| Yeah, you would say Pocahontas says yes. | ||
| All right, so there's two things that happen there. | ||
| Obviously the woke stuff, we don't have to get into that. | ||
| It's obviously great that we're getting DEI out of the system and that we're going to have less boys beating the crap out of girls and that stuff. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| The second half of that about Ukraine was the only time the Democrats applauded because he was basically saying... | ||
| You inept morons from the administration before me have given all of this money with no strings attached, and they're all like this. | ||
| And then you can see it. | ||
| And that's why he was so good last night, because he can read off the prompter perfectly. | ||
| And then, you know, he goes on these extemporaneous kind of stand-up things and works with the crowd and all that. | ||
| But he looks at them and basically says, do you guys want it to go on forever? | ||
| And they're just applauding Ukraine and more money to Ukraine. | ||
| And then he kind of sticks it to Pocahontas. | ||
| There was also a rumor going around. | ||
| I cannot confirm nor deny that Ilhan Omar had a bomb under her little do-rag there. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I just saw it on Twitter. | ||
| Here's Trump. | ||
| This was maybe my favorite part of the entire, like the best kind of one-liner on the whole thing when he was talking about the border. - The media and our friends in the Democrat party kept saying we needed new legislation, we must have legislation to secure the border. | ||
| But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president. | ||
| *crowd cheers* He should have just like thrown some glitter up and just walked off the stage. | ||
| Like that line, that was it. | ||
| You guys all remember that ridiculous bipartisan deal that everyone in the media said. | ||
| Had to be signed, right? | ||
| And every Democrat said, that's the only way we can fix the border. | ||
| And it was a complete lie. | ||
| We were in D.C. while it was being fought out. | ||
| And we interviewed a couple senators. | ||
| We interviewed Ted Cruz. | ||
| We interviewed Rand Paul. | ||
| It was complete nonsense. | ||
| One of the only things that the president is supposed to do is protect the border. | ||
| So Biden came in, reversed about 67 actions that Trump did on the border from his first go-around. | ||
| And then Trump has just reversed them. | ||
| Thus, where are we at with border closings? | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| This is from the Rapid Response 47 team. | ||
| So this is one of the official Trump accounts on Twitter. | ||
| Illegal southern border encounters. | ||
| February of 22, 166,000. | ||
| February of 23, 156,000. | ||
| February of 24, 189,000. | ||
| February of 25, 8,000. | ||
| And then they wrote, what was that about needing a bill again? | ||
| By the way, you may be looking at those numbers going, wait a minute, we've been talking about millions and millions of people coming. | ||
| These are just the border encounters, right? | ||
| So these are the people that actually are encountered by border guards, that there's some level of interaction and some level of tracking and everything else. | ||
| We're not talking about just the flood of people that have come through, which has largely been stemmed to, right? | ||
| Because once Trump came in, or even before Trump came in, we knew that the numbers were dropping because people were like, oh, Shit, I might get deported or otherwise kicked back to my country or put in jail or something like that. | ||
| And it's not just the border stuff. | ||
| So this is a bit of a sidebar, although it was briefly mentioned when he talked about RFK at one point. | ||
| But look at this image from Fox News. | ||
| From yesterday. | ||
| Chains frying with beef tallow. | ||
| Steak and Shake, Popeyes, Outback Steakhouse, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Smashburger. | ||
| These are all big, massive chains that I'm sure you've been to. | ||
| I think I've been to all. | ||
| I don't know that I've been to a Smashburger. | ||
| Do we have a Smashburger here in Miami? | ||
| No. | ||
| We do not have one in Miami, according to the crack team. | ||
| But I'll check it out, I guess. | ||
| But they have decided, oh, we are not going to fry in all of that vegetable oil that is killing people and leading to heart disease and everything else. | ||
| What we are going to do is fry in beef tallow the way even McDonald's did it about 30 years ago, which is much healthier. | ||
| The reason I'm showing you that is that it's not all about the laws that Trump is signing. | ||
| It's not all about the executive actions. | ||
| It's culture. | ||
| It's energy. | ||
| That is the Trump effect. | ||
| That is the shift that we are seeing in the... | ||
| So Trump didn't pass a law demanding that fast food joints and wing joints change the way they fry, but then they start seeing the writing on the wall. | ||
| And then they look at the numbers and they go, boy, you know, there is this move towards health and everyone's talking about seed oils and doing things more health consciously, etc. | ||
| How about we go ahead and do that? | ||
| And sure, does it cost a little bit more to fry and beef tallow? | ||
| It does. | ||
| And over time, that'll go down because more and more people will use it, right? | ||
| That's demand. | ||
| That's fairly simple, supply and demand stuff. | ||
| But they look at it and they go, it's a risk worth taking. | ||
| And then what happens? | ||
| We all get healthier. | ||
| It's pretty good. | ||
| Now, the drama... | ||
| Of the evening is there's this guy, Al Green, who I was told was just a pimp, but he gets out there and he's a he's a Democrat. | ||
| He's angry. | ||
| He does not like Trump. | ||
| And this was the the theater portion of the evening. | ||
| Small business optimism. | ||
| So it's single largest one month gain ever recorded. | ||

Mr. President. | |

Members are directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the House and to cease any further disruptions. | |
| That's your warning. | ||
| Members are engaging and willful in continuing breach of the quorum, and the chair is prepared to direct the sergeant at arms to restore order to the joint session. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Mr. Green, take your seat. | ||
| Take your seat, sir. | ||
| Take your seat. | ||
| Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant-at-arms to restore order. | ||
| Remove this gentleman from the chamber. | ||
| All right, pimp, you're going home. | ||
| That's right, waving his cane around, screaming. | ||
| That was the theater portion of it, right? | ||
| And what I mean by theater was that was prepackaged. | ||
| It was... | ||
| That was Al Green's intention. | ||
| He wanted to get kicked out. | ||
| He wanted everybody to talk about it the next day. | ||
| Obviously, Mike Johnson dealt with it swiftly and cleanly. | ||
| I also think Trump really dealt with it well. | ||
| Trump didn't get into it with him, which you know he could have, maybe in a different forum, different setting. | ||
| But Trump kind of stepped back. | ||
| The process worked. | ||
| And then just one more thing on this ridiculous Al Green, who, by the way, he represents Houston, which is struggling in so many ways right now, which I think Jasmine Crockett's also from Houston. | ||
| Man, what did the people... | ||
| What did Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler do to deserve these people? | ||
| I do not know. | ||
| But here's Al Green after he got kicked out. | ||
| I'm going to impeach him. | ||
| I'm going to impeach him. | ||

And I was making it clear to the president that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid. | |
| I have people who are very fearful. | ||
| These are poor people. | ||
| And they have only Medicaid in their lives when it comes to their health care. | ||
| And I want him to know that his budget calls for deep cuts in Medicaid. | ||
| He needs to save Medicaid, protect it. | ||
| We need to raise the cap on Social Security. | ||
| There's a possibility that it's going to be hurt. | ||
| And we've got to protect Medicare. | ||
| These are the safety net programs that people in my congressional district depend on. | ||
| And this president... | ||
| Seems to care less about them and more about the number of people that he can remove from the various programs that have been so helpful to so many people. | ||
| It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility against our civility. | ||
| He is a person who has consistently used incivility against civility. | ||
| I don't think we have to analyze that too much. | ||
| Suffice to say, okay, you don't like what the guy's doing, but he has every right to do it. | ||
| He's hacking away at the system. | ||
| You live to prop up the system, and you're upset. | ||
| What I really want to focus on is the guy's beard. | ||
| Because what the high hell? | ||
| Can we put him in a box, or can we throw back to him while I'm doing a little analysis here? | ||
| You've got to do a basic shave job. | ||
| It is possible I might have a few hairs over here. | ||
| It's possible every now and again. | ||
| You know, I look and I go, I better make sure that the shape stays nice over there. | ||
| The man is being taken over. | ||
| He looks like he's going into Teen Wolf mode. | ||
| Like, maybe he was turning into a wolf, and that's why they had to get rid of him. | ||
| But why doesn't someone say, all right, you can come back to me. | ||
| I can't look at this much longer. | ||
| It's also very greasy, but, like, we've got a lot of grease over here. | ||
| Like, why doesn't someone say, dude, you've got grease dripping out of your hair. | ||
| The beard's going up way too high. | ||
| The cane, it's just too much. | ||
| It's too much. | ||

All right. | |
| So during the commercial there, we were all discussing that maybe I was being a little harsh with Al Green. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Maybe he doesn't have good people around him that could say shave a little more appropriately or get that grease out of your hair or stop screaming and interrupting the president of the United States. | ||
| And I don't want to make it seem like I'm against Al Green because... | ||
| You remember the original Al Green? | ||
| Like, this guy's an Al Green knockoff. | ||
| There's Al Green, right? | ||
| That's Al Green. | ||
| You remember Al Green? | ||
| What was the main song from Pulp Fiction? | ||
| I'm gonna be in love with you. | ||
| I'm gonna stay in love with you. | ||
| Remember Bruce Willis sitting there. | ||
| The Pulp Fiction, someone help me here. | ||
| Help me here, guys. | ||
| Pulp Fiction, Bruce Willis, the Al Green song that's playing in the back. | ||
| Yeah, let's say it again. | ||
| Tina Turner did a great cover of that, too. | ||
| This is a wide show. | ||
| I mean, we are dropping information bombs on you people. | ||
| Anyway, the point is, I'm not against Al Green's. | ||
| I'm against one specific Al Green, the other Al Green. | ||
| Great song, great song. | ||
| Let's stay together. | ||
| All right. | ||
| What else is happening here? | ||
| Well, at the big event last night, this was actually a beautiful moment. | ||
| I'll get out of comedy mode for a second. | ||
| This was a really beautiful moment. | ||
| There's a kid by the name of DJ Daniel. | ||
| Turns out he had brain cancer and he has wanted to be a police officer. | ||
| And while you saw it already, here's Donald Trump giving an honorary Secret Service badge to this beautiful young man. | ||
| Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true, and DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer actually a number of times. | ||
| The police love him. | ||
| The police departments love him. | ||
| And tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all. | ||
| I am asking our new Secret Service Director. | ||
| Sean Curran to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Like it's just so great and it's real. | ||
| And what you had there were a whole bunch of decent people. | ||
| Unfortunately, they were all Republicans because the Democrats did not applaud for that kid. | ||
| Applauding just an absolutely beautiful moment. | ||
| A kid who's surviving brain cancer. | ||
| The hug, like it was just, look, I know it's theater in some sense, right? | ||
| But sometimes some real things happen within that theater, and it was just a beautiful, beautiful moment. | ||
| DJ Daniel put up a video. | ||
| The White House put this out earlier in the day. | ||
| I just thought this was nice. | ||
|

|
What you want to know, the craziest part? | |
| Because my mom, babe, me and my brothers all together. | ||
| And out of nowhere, I locked up. | ||
| And then my dad was calling my name, and I started going to the slow thing. | ||
| And he said, stop playing with me. | ||
| And I started to act slow. | ||
| And then as soon as he said that, we were speeding all the way, running lights, going to the hospital. | ||
| And then next thing you know, I was seizing on the table. | ||
| They said, no, we're going to have to go in his brain tonight. | ||
| Ever since then, I had 13 brain surgeries. | ||
| And that's how many times my personality has changed. | ||
| And that's something that you don't hear from a terminally old child. | ||
| They had five months to live. | ||
| I'm going to keep on going until my gas tanks run out. | ||
| And that's when God calls you home. | ||
| You never know when God's going to call you home. | ||
| I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my dad. | ||
| I know he's pretty proud of me, and I'm pretty proud of him, too. | ||
| And I'd like to thank President Trump, because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here today. | ||
| Man, guys, like, that is a great kid. | ||
| He seems well wise beyond his years. | ||
| Maybe he's getting something. | ||
| 13 brain surgeries and just respect and decent and got a great way of speaking. | ||
| And we'll keep track of him because he hopefully has a bright future in terms of his health and in terms of whatever he's going to do on this earth. | ||
| Rachel Maddow was less enthused about DJ. For the record, and this is disgusting, the president made a spectacle out of praising. | ||
| A young man who's thus far survived pediatric cancer, as if the president had something to do with that. | ||
| This was in the midst of him praising Doge. | ||
| Doge cuts, among other things, have cut off funding for ongoing research into pediatric cancer. | ||
| She is so, I'll try to control myself, effing vile and disgusting. | ||
| That was such a beautiful moment. | ||
| And if your brain is so broken... | ||
| And you are so partisan when something like that happens. | ||
| That beautiful hug right there, that kid. | ||
| Like, that's real. | ||
| That's actually real. | ||
| We're consistently smashed with fakery. | ||
| That's what you people offer us all the time. | ||
| We see something real. | ||
| Donald Trump didn't take credit for saving the kid. | ||
| Donald Trump didn't take credit for the 13 surgeries. | ||
| There was a nice moment up there. | ||
| As you guys know, had it been Biden doing the exact same thing, she would have said it was the greatest thing ever, and this has nothing to do with Doge or anything else. | ||
| It continued, though. | ||
| If you think MSNBC is vile, I mean, they really topped themselves last night. | ||
| Watch Nicole Wallace here. | ||
| I'm going to tip you off a little bit. | ||
| She's going to start making sense, and then, well, you just keep watching. | ||
| I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that you let yourself feel. | ||
| And I let myself feel joy about DJ. And I hope he's alive for another, you know, 95 years, right? | ||
| And I hope he lives. | ||
| And the life he wants to live. | ||
| He wants to be a cop. | ||
| He knows what he wants to do. | ||
| And maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you. | ||
| And I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer. | ||
| But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump's supporters. | ||
| And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide. | ||
| And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then lived to see Donald Trump pardon those people. | ||
| Evil. | ||
| Evil, evil, evil. | ||
| I'm not going to relitigate January 6th right now. | ||
| Absolutely evil. | ||
| The fact that she was making sense. | ||
|

|
But. | |
| But. | ||
| You people have become such broken-brained, awful partisan hacks that that was your takeaway. | ||
| That was your real takeaway. | ||
| Yeah, I wanted to live a long life. | ||
| But! | ||
| Awful, horrible people. | ||
| But that's what's left. | ||
| That really is what's left with the Democrats, and that's what MSNBC is. | ||
| It's just an arm of the Democrat machine. | ||
| Melania Trump, the first lady, she got a big—she might have got the biggest ovation of the entire evening last night. | ||
| But here she is, and this is super interesting because this is earlier in the day. | ||
| She's talking about how one of the things that she's trying to lead on right now is stopping revenge porn and deepfakes. | ||
| So this is like if a high school kid sends a picture, an inappropriate picture to another kid, and that kid posts it. | ||
| Online, that's thought of as revenge porn and deepfakes. | ||
| Obviously, it's through AI. You could take someone's face and put it on porn. | ||
| There's just a lot of stuff that's going to need to be dealt with there and figure out how do we deal with this without jailing kids. | ||
| There's just a whole bunch of stuff. | ||
| Anyway, she's been having meetings about this and surprise, surprise, Democrats not that interested in stopping revenge porn or deepfakes. | ||
| I was heartened to learn that Senator Cruz... | ||
| And Senator Kolbacher united to prioritize this fundamental matter. | ||
| I must admit, however, I expected to see more Democrats, leaders with us here today, to address this serious issue. | ||
| Surely, as adults, we can prioritize America's children ahead of partisan politics. | ||
| I urge Congress to prioritize the passage of the Take It Down Act Bill. | ||
| This legislation is essential for addressing the growing concerns related to online safety, protecting individual rights, and promoting a healthier digital environment. | ||
| By advocating this bill, Congress can take an important step towards ensuring accountability So the reason I wanted to show you that is because the Democrats really have a choice, | ||
| and I think they've made their choice already, and it was quite illustrated last night by... | ||
| The non-applaus to the 13-year-old cancer survivor and the non-applaus to virtually anything that had to do with American success. | ||
| And the only time they applaud was when it was about giving Ukraine an unlimited amount of money. | ||
| So they've made their choice. | ||
| That's fairly obvious. | ||
| But if there is anyone left over there who's got a... | ||
| If there's a neuron firing in any of your woke, broken brains, you might want to get on board this one. | ||
| Like, I get it. | ||
| You want to destroy Trump more than you love the country. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| But I think, I think if there's a little left in there, you might want to get on board. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Could we all agree that... | ||
| Revenge porn for underage kids is bad and that maybe we should do something about that. | ||
| Is that something you guys are able to get on board for? | ||
| Or does your hatred of Trump override that so you can't work with the First Lady on that? | ||
| I think we basically have our answer on that. | ||
| We'll have more on just the depths that the Democrats have sunk to and will continue to sink to. | ||
| And I don't think there is a bottom to that hole. | ||
| But first, G-Defy. | ||
| You guys know I'm all about logic and reason. | ||
| And here's one simple logic. | ||
| If your feet are killing you at the end of the day, you need better shoes. | ||
| That's why I love G Defy Shoes by Gravity Defy. | ||
| Unlike trendy sneakers, these are built on real shock absorbing technology. | ||
| Their patented VersoShock system absorbs impact, returns energy, and helps align your body so whether you're walking, running, or standing all day, it feels effortless. | ||

| Use logic, choose comfort, GDefy. | ||
| All right, so it's pretty clear the Democrats have made their choice. | ||
| We don't know where the moderates are. | ||
| It leads to somebody like Stephen A. Smith. | ||
| You know, basically polling at the top for who they're going to run, even though I'm not even sure he knows why he's a Democrat anymore and all of the rest of the stuff. | ||
| Over on the televised mental institution known as MSNBC, two of the people who are replacing Crazy Joy Reid... | ||
| Because she's gone. | ||
| Are Simone Sanders, who once worked for Bernie Sanders, then worked for Hillary Clinton. | ||
| Basically, she's just a hack for hire. | ||
| And Michael Steele, who was once the head of the Republican National Committee. | ||
| I had him on when he was still a Republican. | ||
| And it was at the beginning of the Trump thing. | ||
| And he was a Trump guy. | ||
| He was explaining to me why the energy behind Trump all made sense and everything else. | ||
| That interview was about 2015 or so. | ||
| Anyway, here they are, and they actually kind of say something right. | ||
| the Democrats all went in with these ridiculous cards as if they were going to be at an auction. | ||
| And here they are admitting that this was just not the right play. | ||
|

|
- Well, thank you, Simone. | |
| - Can we talk about it? - The bingo signs were killing me. | ||
| I don't know who thought up the bingo signs, but they should be fired. | ||
| - Michael, this is an indictment, in my opinion, on the Democratic leadership. | ||
| I talked to a lot of members during the, they were texting. | ||
| The staff were on my phones and they were calling. | ||
| And I think the best way to describe it is the Democratic leadership wanted people to attend and bring a guest and they wanted, you know, little business as usual and we're fighting back in other ways. | ||
| There is a palpable disgust, as Claire said, from not just the members but their constituents. | ||
| And it's like a pot, as someone described it to me, that's boiling and it's about to bubble over. | ||
| If you do not allow the members a space to release valve, it's going to bubble over. | ||
| And this was a... | ||
| What are you really saying there, Simone Sanders? | ||
| And I get it. | ||
| You hated Hillary when you were with Bernie. | ||
| Then you started working for Hillary. | ||
| Now you're just the DNC, you know, cog in the machine. | ||
| You'll lose your job soon enough and you'll be the next Joy Reid. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| But what are you really saying there? | ||
| If you don't let them have their ridiculous moments where they can swing their cane and interrupt and scream, and if you don't let them wave their bingo cards and everything else, if you don't let them do all that, then what? | ||
| It's going to bubble over and what? | ||
| Oh, are you talking about mass violence? | ||
| I think you are. | ||
| You're just not saying it. | ||
| The idea of these ridiculous auction signs was so obviously going to be punked online, and here's just one. | ||
| I mean, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of these types of things going on. | ||
| And for those of you on the audio podcast, it's basically all the Democrats holding up their placards with, I'm retarded, pointing at them. | ||
| And then there's Rashida Tlaib. | ||
| I didn't get my retarded sign. | ||
| But maybe they sent her a beeper. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| But it was so obvious that that was going to happen. | ||
| But that's what these people do. | ||
| A lot of people were saying this was the image of the Democrats. | ||
| That this was it. | ||
| That's Rosa DeLauro right there, the purple-haired... | ||
| We saw her at the Capitol. | ||
| I was only feet away from her at the Capitol just weeks ago. | ||
| So that is her, and she was obviously displeased with President Trump. | ||
| We got this image. | ||
| This is a Rubin Report exclusive. | ||
| This is her immediately after Trump's speech. | ||
| If you get that Skeksis Dark Crystal reference, I like you. | ||
| I like you. | ||
| My young staff never saw Dark Crystal, even though they rebooted it on Netflix. | ||
| Great movie and great series, if you have not seen it. | ||
| That was by the great Jim Henson. | ||
| You guys know Jim Henson from The Muppets, at least, I hope. | ||
| Kids. | ||
| Here's more from the Democrats. | ||
| They're very angry, and they took a selfie to illustrate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look at us! | |
| We're mad! | ||
| We are mad, people! | ||
| Angry. | ||
| We don't like government fraud being exposed. | ||
| We want to make sure Ukraine gets money forever. | ||
| We want an open border. | ||
| We like crime and drugs and fentanyl on our streets. | ||
| We want people to burn people on the New York City subway. | ||
| We're Democrats, damn it! | ||
| Jasmine Crockett, who was there, and I love this chick, really love her. | ||
| She is the new AOC. AOC was crazy enough for a while, and then Jasmine saw it, and she was like, oh, I'll show you. | ||
| I'm the craziest MF out there. | ||
| We have to cut the audio on this thing, because otherwise we'd get a copyright strike. | ||
| So we just look at this. | ||
| So she did a little song and dance video. | ||
| That's what they do, because they're all actors. | ||
| So this is her right before. | ||
| She gets her staffers in there, and she, look at her, she's doing it. | ||
| The team wanted me to rap the song that she was singing, but nobody wants to hear Dave Rubin. | ||
| But look at her. | ||
| She's got the moves and the... | ||
| Yeah, all right, all right. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| So that's Democrats. | ||
| That's what they've got. | ||
| Crockett then with her fake eyelashes and her angry demeanor. | ||
| Well, here she is. | ||
| And she just does not... | ||
| Not only can she dance to show she doesn't like Trump, she can also say it. | ||

Unfortunately, we have someone that is occupying the White House, and as far as I'm concerned, he is an enemy to the United States. | |
| He swore an oath just like the rest of us. | ||
| But right now, when you are literally putting us at risk all because of what? | ||
| Because you want to convince your followers that you should be a dictator too, that you should never leave the White House because you don't believe that elections should take place? | ||
| I don't really understand what is going on, and I don't know what it's going to take to get people to wake up. | ||
| I want to make clear that when we hear the stories of the economic impact, these are stories that are impacting all of us. | ||
| It's not just women. | ||
| Unfortunately, we had an opportunity to have a woman leave this country, and I promise you she would have led us to the promised land. | ||
| But instead, we got somebody that seems like he want to take us to hell and back again. | ||
| But I'm trying to tell y'all that we, the women of the DWC, will not stand for that. | ||
| Led us to the promised land. | ||
| Kamala Harris would have led us to the Promised Land. | ||
| You mean Israel? | ||
| I'm pretty sure you're not an Israel supporter, Jasmine Crockett. | ||
| Also, everything she says, it's just nothing. | ||
| What did she say? | ||
| That Trump is literally putting us at risk because you want to be a dictator and stop elections. | ||
| Did I miss that last night? | ||
| I did get up at one point. | ||
| I had to pee. | ||
| Did I miss when Trump said he wanted to stop elections and maybe be a dictator? | ||
| It was an extended pee. | ||
| I drank a lot of wine. | ||
| No, I didn't drink last night. | ||
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| Here is, just to show you that this thing, this sort of just insane, ridiculous, mind virus thing is just proliferating throughout the Democrats. | ||
| Here is Representative Nydia Velasquez. | ||
| She's a Democrat from New York. | ||
| She doesn't like Elon Musk. | ||
| And back in my day, we used to call this kind of racist talk. | ||
| But, well, you take a look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And what the hell are you doing here in America? | |
| Go back to South Africa! | ||
| So you want to send an African-American back to South Africa, you racist, disgusting woman, you. | ||
| Interestingly, Nydia, was that her name, Nydia? | ||
| She's first generation from Puerto Rico. | ||
| Puerto Rico? | ||
| Now, if I was here saying, Nydia, I don't like you. | ||
| Go back to Puerto Rico. | ||
| People would say that's racist. | ||
| You are a ridiculous buffoon. | ||
| Go back to South Africa. | ||
| By the way, that's exactly what Joy Behar said. | ||
| Well, Joy Behar said a couple days ago that Elon supported apartheid because he grew up in South Africa. | ||
| Like these brain broken. | ||
| Speaking of brain broken, they didn't know what to do after. | ||
| Because after one of these speeches, this was not a State of the Union. | ||
| Everyone thought this was a State of the Union. | ||
| I even tweeted at one point that it was State of the Union because that's what we think of these things. | ||
| This was a joint session of Congress speech. | ||
| Not much difference in reality. | ||
| But afterwards, the Democrats gave their rebuttal. | ||
| And when we talk about this thin bench, so it's like somebody at the DNC was looking at the list. | ||
| Well, who do we got? | ||
| We got AOC. We got new AOC, meaning Crockett. | ||
| We got Gay Pete. | ||
| We got who? | ||
| This is a thin. | ||
| We don't have many names on this list. | ||
| So they plucked this chick, Lisa Slotkin. | ||
| And here is a bit of her rebuttal afterwards. | ||
|
unidentified
|
While we're on the subject of Elon Musk. | |
| Is there anyone in America who is comfortable with him and his gang of 20-year-olds using their own computer servers to poke through your tax returns, your health information, and your bank accounts? | ||
| No oversight. | ||
| No protections against cyberattack. | ||
| No guardrails on what they do with your private data. | ||
| Oh, if only we had just let the deep state keep laundering the money. | ||
| If we had only let unelected bureaucrats and Democrats keep going with their gravy train, everything would be just fine. | ||
| What you're really upset, she's not worried about the data. | ||
| There is no evidence that anyone is stealing anyone's data or anything else. | ||
| And by the way, do you trust the mid-level guy who's worked at the IRS for 35 years who doesn't show up to work with your data because he's had access to it this entire time? | ||
| It's all just nonsense. | ||
| And the fact that they put up this, just nothing. | ||
| This woman is nothing. | ||
| She has no future career. | ||
| But that's the point. | ||
| They don't know what to do. | ||
| And if I was Jasmine Crockett, I'd be pretty pissed that they chose that white chick instead of you. | ||
| So you better burn them down, baby. | ||
| Burn them down. | ||
| You guys know Scott Jennings over on CNN. He is the man who's making sense over there, and they don't know what to do with him because he's making sense, and I don't think you can just fire someone for making sense. | ||
| I guess you could, but it would be a little too obvious. | ||
| Here's Scott Jennings. | ||
| This was a horrific night for the opposition party. | ||
| Regardless of how well she just spoke. | ||
| It started out with Al Green getting thrown off the House floor because he couldn't keep his emotions under control. | ||
| Then they had the ridiculous paddles, which now social media is roasting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That you said false on one side and Elon on the other. | |
| And then finally, and maybe most terribly, the Democrats, who couldn't find it in their heart to stand for objectively good things, including the 95-year-old mother of Mark Fogle, And Mark, who got rescued from a Russian prison and they couldn't even stand up for that. | ||
| I thought Democrats came into this speech lost and defeated by Donald Trump. | ||
| And today it looks to me like they're even more lost and even more defeated than when the speech started. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| They are lost. | ||
| They are defeated. | ||
| They've got a thin bench. | ||
| They couldn't. | ||
| All you'd have to do if you want. | ||
| Like, some moderate who maybe you lost, if we just go to the beginning of the show. | ||
| Stephen A. Smith was talking about all of these communities that broke more Republican, right? | ||
| So if you want to get some of those people who maybe aren't the most Trumpian Trumpsters in Trump town, what would you do? | ||
| You'd try to show some level of humanity in there. | ||
| So when the 95-year-old mother who just got her son back from the Russian prison is mentioned, who happened, she was born in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump got shot, like, kind of beautiful moment. | ||
| You might want to applaud that. | ||
| You might want to applaud the 13-year-old kid who had 13 brain surgeries. | ||
| You might want to do that, but they could not do that. | ||
| I actually think Trump missed an opportunity. | ||
| He was quite good in the way he was pointing out, you people will never applaud anything I do. | ||
| I mean, he basically said at the top, if I cured cancer, you wouldn't applaud. | ||
| He should have stopped at one point and been like, boy, you know, this is something. | ||
| You guys don't applaud me for anything. | ||
| He's like, why don't we play a game right now? | ||
| Can you applaud that America is the greatest country in the world? | ||
| And what would they have done? | ||
| Their heads would have exploded. | ||
| Ilhan's bomb would have gone off. | ||
| We'll have more on the other side in just a sec, but first 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. | ||
| You can find out more about this yourself right now. | ||

| That's bhmd1.com slash Rubin. | ||
| Again, go watch the video at bhmd1.com slash Rubin right now or just click the link in the description box below. | ||
| All right, so bear with me right here for just a moment. | ||
| We're going to show you about 20 seconds of the video we started the show as Stephen A. Smith explaining to Joy Behar how Trump has a mandate and you'll see why we're doing it, I promise you. | ||
| I don't understand how people can look at that and say, there's no mandate. | ||
| There's a mandate. | ||
| Well, it's a different definition of a mandate, I guess. | ||
| But the problem is that if you're the Democratic Party and you lost 49.8% to 48.3%, and you're looking at that 1.5%, that's an excuse for you to say, what we did really wasn't that bad. | ||
| We should continue to do that. | ||
| No, don't continue to do that. | ||
| Find a new strategy. | ||
| So right after Stephen A. walked off that set, they went to commercial break, and who did they bring on? | ||
| Corinne Jean-Pierre. | ||
| And what did she say? | ||
| Well, the complete reverse of what Stephen A said. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When Stephen was leaving, she said, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. | |
| I disagree with you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, I do. | |
| And I was curious. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do on the mandate, on Donald Trump and his administration having a mandate. | |
| And we have to be super mindful and careful of this because he does not have a mandate. | ||
| And what I mean by that is if you look at the numbers, just look at the facts. | ||
| He won with the smallest margin of the popular vote since the 19th century. | ||
| There was no coattail, meaning that the house is at a razor-thin, razor-thin. | ||
| And he's on his way in the first hundred days to be the most unpopular president in their first hundred days. | ||
| The fact that they put this woman on who just spent the last three years gaslighting us about Biden's mental health, about the border, about everything, just lying, lying, lying. | ||
| And then everything she says there is just pointless, utter nonsense, which, again, of course, they would always say the reverse if it was their guy in charge right now. | ||
| But this razor-thin, yeah, you know it's funny, because Trump was up there, and guess what? | ||
| The VP was behind him. | ||
| He's a Republican. | ||
| And the Speaker of the House was behind him, and he's a Republican. | ||
| And they've got the Senate, so you could say razor thin. | ||
| I mean, Stephen A., that was what he was blowing up. | ||
| If this is the way you guys want to do it, there is no mandate. | ||
| By the way, what the hell is she talking about that he's unpopular now? | ||
| CNN is putting up polls that are showing him at record popularity. | ||
| Like, it's absolutely insane, but here's a little more insanity from a woman who spends more time doing her hair than thinking about why she's on the show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do want to ask about your boss, President Biden. | |
| You were asked recently at Harvard about the sort of the onslaught that you guys faced after he had a very bad debate performance. | ||
| You described it as a firing squad. | ||
| Another Biden aide said the party lost its mind. | ||
| Do you believe that Joe Biden would have won if he had stayed in? | ||
| And a follow-up to that, do you think Kamala Harris would have had a better shot had she had more time? | ||
| So look, I was asked a question. | ||
| I answered it honestly and how I felt at the moment. | ||
| moment i was the one that was going to the podium almost every day after that happened and it was shocking what i saw but i also i i can't speculate right i don't know what would have happened i really and anybody who says they do they don't really know oh really lady It was shocking to you how bad the debate was? | ||
| Because I'm pretty sure that's not what you said the next day. | ||
| And you people lied about it for years and years. | ||
| I'm really only showing you that, not to own her anymore. | ||
| She's largely irrelevant or whatever. | ||
| But it's just like these people who get everything wrong and whatever, they just hang around the system. | ||
| That's how the system launders the lies. | ||
| You just get a bunch of people who are wrong about everything, who lie about everything, to just do it over and over. | ||
| The fact that they did that right after Stephen A just laid out some basic truth, and he's not even a Trump guy, as he pointed out. | ||
| It's just so ridiculous. | ||
| But where are the Dems? | ||
| Where can Karine Jean-Pierre get her next gig? | ||
| I mean, I cannot believe that this is true, but... | ||
| Yeah, breaking, Tim Walls is reportedly considering running for president in 2028 per New York Post. | ||
| As Jerry said to George after George told Jerry all his problems... | ||
| Good luck with all of that. | ||
| These are not good people. | ||
| They've got nothing. | ||
| And yes, you should. | ||
| You guys really should go with Tim Walls as your nominee. | ||
| I wish you all the best. | ||
| Speaking of people, I wish all the best. | ||
| I did live in California, as you know. | ||
| I lived in... | ||
| A small town called Los Angeles. | ||
| And that place has just systematically been crumbling and quite literally been burning down. | ||
| And interestingly, there is a recall for Karen Bass right now. | ||
| Now we thought we'd show you the ad because I don't have any hope that it will work, but it's worth noting that there are some people there trying to do something decent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This has the potential for 200 plus acres in the next 20 minutes. | |
| We have a potential for structures being threatened in the next 20 minutes. | ||
| Crews trying to contain those massive Los Angeles wildfires. | ||
| At least 24 people have tragically been killed. | ||
| When the fires broke out, LA Mayor Karen Bass was in Africa. | ||
| We know that there was warnings about the weather before you went. | ||
| When she returned, instead of answering critical questions from reporters, she chose to just ignore those questions and stay silent. | ||
| Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent while their homes were burning? | ||
| Madam Mayor, have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today who are dealing with this disaster? | ||
| We'll accept on blame, right? | ||
| So at the early times, we endorse Karen Bass. | ||
| That's a mistake, and we admit that. | ||
| There are calls for Karen Bass to resign, and those calls are getting louder. | ||
| All right, so the reason I wanted to show you that is that, look, I was, I would look, I was, I would say, a fairly big piece of the recall against Gavin Newsom during COVID, and I campaigned with Larry Elder and all of those things, and it did not work, and it did not work by a landslide. | ||
| So in some sense, the Californians got exactly what they asked for. | ||
| I don't think this will work either. | ||
| I think that these places are just so broken and everything else that... | ||
| It kind of is what it is at this point. | ||
| Now I want to contrast that with something else, or not even contrast, I want to add on to it, I should say, because in New York, Andrew Cuomo, who was the governor, stepped down over a sex scandal, although the thing that I think really damaged him mostly was taking all of the old people and putting them back into the old age homes, and literally, and I don't even think this is up for debate, Thousands of people died because of him. | ||
| He took sick old people and put them with other sick old people. | ||
| That is a fact. | ||
| He will have to answer for that one day. | ||
| Well, he had to step down as governor over the harassment scandal, but now he is running for New York City mayor, and he went on Stephen A. Smith's show to talk a bit about why he's doing that and some of his pandemic response. | ||
| But many people died in nursing homes. | ||
| The bottom, bottom line for the state of New York, and to cut through all the politics, they then count how many people died in nursing homes per 100, okay? | ||
| So it's apples and apples, big state, small state. | ||
| For every 100 people in nursing homes, how many died? | ||
| State of New York is number 38. Which means only 12 states had a lower rate of death than New York. | ||
| And that is saying something, Stephen, because, you know, we had it first. | ||
| And other states had months to prepare. | ||
| It just fell out of the sky for New Yorkers. | ||
| But those are federal numbers. | ||
| The rate of death in nursing homes, we rank number 38. I would have liked to be number 50, but 38, only 12 states had a lower rate of death. | ||
| I think that says New York officials, health officials, not only... | ||
| All right, New York. | ||
| It's just like LA. You're going to have to decide if you believe that guy. | ||
| Also, other states had months to prepare. | ||
| COVID was just dropped on New York. | ||
| That's complete and utter nonsense. | ||
| We all had the exact same amount of time to prepare. | ||
| It did hit states a little bit differently. | ||
| And by the way, there were weather reasons that, you know, some places it was cold, people were a little sicker, there wasn't as much vitamin D. Like, you can go into all of the litany of arguments, but the fact is he put those old people back in those old age homes and a lot of people died. | ||
| If you want more on that, check out my interview from... | ||
| Gosh, it's three years ago. | ||
| Time flies with Janice Dean, who is one of the weather analysts over on Fox News, and both of her in-laws dead because of what that man did. | ||
| Fact. | ||
| Don't listen to me on that. | ||
| Check it out. | ||
| So this is what the Democrats have. | ||
| You have sort of the lying liars who will lie and launder the lies, like the cringe on Pierre's. | ||
| You have the Jasmine Crockett's with their fake eyelashes and their dances. | ||
| You have the Al Green's with the cane and the screaming. | ||
| You've got, you know, you've just got nothing. | ||
| There's no good ideas left. | ||
| The moderates have all moved and everything else. | ||
| And you know what we have? | ||
| We have a wide coalition of people who love America. | ||
| Was Trump... | ||
| Partisan last night? | ||
| Not really. | ||
| It was all pro-America. | ||
| He explained why he's doing what he's doing as it relates to tariffs. | ||
| He explained why he's doing what he's doing as it relates to Ukraine. | ||
| He explained why he's doing what he's doing as it pertained to the border, etc., etc. | ||
| And then at the end of what I thought was, again, the best speech I've ever heard a politician give, he left us with an awful lot of hope. | ||
| It was quite beautiful. | ||
| This will be our greatest era. | ||
| With God's help over the next four years, we are going to lead this nation even higher, and we are going to forge the freest, most advanced, most dynamic, and most dominant civilization ever to exist on the face of this earth. | ||
| We are going to create the highest quality of life, build the safest and wealthiest and healthiest and most vital communities anywhere in the world. | ||
| We are going to conquer the vast frontiers of science, and we are going to lead humanity into space and plant the American flag on the planet Mars and even far beyond. | ||
| And through it all, we are going to rediscover the unstoppable power of the American spirit. | ||
| And we are going to renew unlimited promise of the American dream. | ||
| Every single day, we will stand up and we will fight, fight, fight for the country our citizens believe in and for the country our people deserve. | ||
| My fellow Americans, get ready for an incredible future because the golden age of America has get ready for an incredible future because the golden age of America has It will be like nothing that has ever been seen before. | ||
| Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America. | ||
| Guys, thoughtful, inspirational, aspirational, proud of our history and paving the way to our future. | ||
| It does not get much better than that. | ||
| And hopefully some of these broken-brained people will start seeing that more and more and join us. | ||
| I will leave you with Al Green. | ||
| And no, I'm not talking about cane-waving Al Green. | ||
| I'm talking about... | ||

Let's stay together. | |
