Did you say he put Adderall and Viagra in their coffee? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. That would be completely ridiculous. | |
Thank you. | ||
Thank you. | ||
All right, people, I'm Dave Rubin. | ||
This is the Rubin Report. | ||
It is the last day of March. | ||
March 31st, 2025. | ||
Where does the time go? | ||
I can see how one day you're just 90 years old going, where are my shoes? | ||
Where did my life go? | ||
Where is everybody? | ||
I can't find my specs. | ||
We are live streaming on Rumble YouTube and Locals. | ||
Share, subscribe, tap that notification bell, and yes, we will have a post-game show today. | ||
I know We didn't have a couple of them last week due to some of my travel. | ||
I will make it up for you with an extended post-game show. | ||
ReubenReport.Locals.com. | ||
Today you can ask me questions, you can point out errors and factual inaccuracies and just say nice things about me or terrible things. | ||
Also we put up a video because people love Dave's meat. | ||
That is one of the main comments we get over here at the Reuben Report. | ||
A lot of emails about that, tweets, etc. | ||
We did put up a video where I smoked a Huge. | ||
Beautiful spectacular Wagyu tomahawk and I smoked it in my big green egg We go through all the recipes and all and how to do it and get it Just right and get that perfect crust and all of that stuff So if you want to check that out that's on the channel right now, and we're just diving back into the lunacy today We're gonna start with some Gavin Newsom stuff because this guy, You know, he's in the midst of his reclamation project. | ||
He's got his podcasting. | ||
This is all so he can just sort of morph his image from evil lizard person who's destroyed everything he's touched except his bank account, which is the true Gavin Newsom. | ||
He's trying to morph that into just slick guy with slick back hair and veneers who's just some sort of moderate. | ||
I'm not going to play that game with him. | ||
I know a lot of people are. | ||
I am simply not going to do it, but he went on real time. | ||
And Bill did a nice job, because although I think Bill has been a bit misguided in his support of Newsom, he did expose some of the hypocrisy, and the guy is just such a slimy car salesman that it's just so easy to go through. | ||
So we're going to do some of that. | ||
Also, Elon and the Doge team sat down with Brett Baer on Fox News on Friday night, and it was interesting to see, because everyone's been like, oh, these are 20-year-old kids firing these life-or-death I think? | ||
to see a whole bunch of really competent people behind Elon, so we'll have a little bit from that. | ||
Then there were these NPR hearings in Congress where the head of NPR has never been to a meeting that she's actually been to and has had no idea about any of the things that NPR and PBS are doing and a whole bunch of other stuff, but let's dive right in on this Monday. Here is Friday Night's Real Time with Bill Maher and evil snake lizard Gavin Newsom and | ||
Went on there, they slicked the hair, they tanned him, they tried everything possible aesthetically to make him look human, which I'll leave that up to you to decide. | ||
And here he is talking about how the Democrat brand is toxic. | ||
He might want to acknowledge that he's a Democrat and he's kind of the type of person that made it toxic, but you know, it's Gavin. | ||
It's really been interesting, the reaction to the podcast. | ||
I mean, we had some controversial figures on, I'll acknowledge that, and Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, and some others, but you're right. | ||
I mean, this idea that we can't even have a conversation with the other side? | ||
You have to, they won. | ||
Thank you. | ||
That's it, bottom line. | ||
And by the way, or the notion we just have to continue to talk to ourselves, or we're in the same damn echo chamber. | ||
These guys are crushing us. | ||
The Democratic brand is toxic right now. | ||
We had a high watermark two weeks ago and that was a CNN poll at 29% favorability. | ||
It's dropped in the NBC poll down to 27%. | ||
It's one thing to make noise, but you also have to make sense. | ||
And I think with this podcast and having the opportunity to dialogue with people I disagree with, it's an opportunity to try to find common ground and not take cheap shots. | ||
I'm not looking to put a spoke in the wheel of their, or at least a crowbar in the spokes of their wheel to trip them up to your point. | ||
And I think it's important, Democrats need to He is just so vile. | ||
Like if you can't see through all of that. | ||
The slick way he speaks, the body, everything is all inauthentic. | ||
The body motion, all of it. | ||
It's rehearsed, it's planned, and this is what the machine is doing. | ||
It's trying to recalibrate him, to make him look tolerable. | ||
Because, unfortunately, because of people like him, the radicalness of the left has completely destroyed the party. | ||
So I'll agree with him if what he said was right. | ||
About 27% view the Democrat Party as positive. | ||
We know the numbers are somewhere around there. | ||
The Dem brand is toxic though, dude. | ||
Because of people like you. | ||
You were the mayor of San Francisco. | ||
You destroyed the city. | ||
You've been the governor of California. | ||
Over a million people have led because of COVID. | ||
We'll go into some of your greatest hits and some of the things that you've done that have just absolutely destroyed the state, but it's you pushing the woke stuff. | ||
It's you pushing the sanctuary city stuff. | ||
It's you pushing the gender stuff. | ||
Like you, you, you. | ||
So to sit there, oh, and there's a really interesting moment right at the top. | ||
Did you catch it? | ||
Where he's like, we have to talk to the other side. | ||
And Bill's like, yeah, you have to. | ||
They want you. | ||
And that's an interesting admission. | ||
So if you guys had won, would you not be talking about us? | ||
You'd be saying we're on the ropes now and we need to be ostracized and everything else. | ||
So that's quite an admission by Bill, who obviously is good at talking to people he disagrees with. | ||
But if you think for one second, had the Democrats won, Gavin Newsom would be looking to build bridges, you'd have to be completely, completely insane. | ||
Anyway, let's continue a little bit with this. | ||
They got into it regarding Gavin Newsom and gender, because Gavin Newsom wants So what do you say to people who say, | ||
well, this sounds all Very good, but Governor, you were the poster boy for a lot of this stuff. | ||
I see today the Trump administration is, they talked about, I don't know if this is true, but they talked about the fact that California had a rule that schools cannot be required to notify parents if their kids in school have changed their gender, their pronouns. | ||
That's the kind of thing. | ||
Even though it doesn't affect a lot of people, that makes a lot of people go, well, you know what, that's the party without common sense. | ||
Now, if that's your state, how are you... | ||
I just disagree with that. | ||
I mean, the law was you would be fired, a teacher would be fired, if a teacher did not report or snitch on a kid talking about their gender identity. | ||
I just think that was wrong. | ||
I think teachers should teach. | ||
I don't think they should be required to turn in kids. | ||
And by the way... | ||
Turn in? | ||
We're talking about their parents. | ||
How can you snitch? | ||
The idea of a snitch and a parent, to me, doesn't compete. | ||
Well, I just... | ||
I don't... | ||
But what is the job of a teacher? | ||
It's to teach. | ||
If Johnny's talking about some identity issue or some issue about liking someone of the same sex, is the teacher's job to then... | ||
F-bomb coming. | ||
He's an evil snake motherfucker. | ||
I don't know how to describe it. | ||
You see what he just did there? | ||
And Bill got it right. | ||
It's the parent's job to raise the child. | ||
And of course, it's the teacher's job to teach. | ||
It's the teacher's job to teach. | ||
Yes, but your teachers don't teach, they indoctrinate, right? | ||
It's your teachers who the kids walk in, and they've got all these rainbow flags everywhere, and they're pushing all of this gender nonsense on them, which is why we know there's a social contagion element of it, particularly with young girls who are Crazy huge numbers think that they are boys. | ||
That is reality. | ||
Inconven... What was it? | ||
Not Inconvenient Truth. | ||
Abigail Schreier's book. | ||
Sorry. Irreversible Damage. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Like, read that book. | ||
And she still lives in Cali. | ||
Knows a bit about this stuff. | ||
So, the idea that the parent is the one that the information should be hidden from is disgusting. | ||
And yes, Gavin, it was just you. | ||
But it's not just that he's trying to do a one-eight... | ||
You know, he... | ||
He's not particularly good at it, that's the thing. | ||
He's like kind of slick and then also not good. | ||
That's why I'm going so hard on this. | ||
I want people on the fence about this guy to realize what he is. | ||
And by the way, we still are in touch with his people about doing the podcast. | ||
I 100% will do it. | ||
I'd prefer to do it live and 100% I will only do it if there are no edits. | ||
That's for sure. | ||
But I will talk to this snake, this freak. | ||
I will gladly do it and I'll say all of this to his face. | ||
So okay, he's trying to do a 180. | ||
on the woke stuff but that's that's kind of the low-hanging fruit as it relates to all this this is a guy who's been in public office for about 20 years first as mayor of san francisco which is was was a beautiful wonderful place one of the greatest cities in the country before he took over and then as governor of california uh so it's not just the gender stuff that he's screwing everybody over on in the general woke stuff it's the fire management it's everything he did during covid like you know going to french laundry with lobbyists and eating indoors without masks We're | ||
the homelessness. | ||
It's the drugs. | ||
And then of course, it's the high speed rail project if you want to see. | ||
So let's just remove all of the emotion as it comes to Gavin Newsom. | ||
Okay. Evil snake person, deeply inauthentic, comes across as a Disney villain, all of that stuff. | ||
Let's just look at the granular stuff that this man has done, or I should say not done. | ||
They've been working on high speed rail in California for 17 years. | ||
Here's a bit of a throwback. | ||
unidentified
|
You can get down to L.A. in two and a half hours, $55. | |
In California, we're still debating the high-speed rail. | ||
What a joke. | ||
Finally, California is going to get it right with this new high-speed rail. | ||
unidentified
|
I personally have been supportive of the high-speed rail project since my time as mayor of the city and county of San Francisco. | |
The project is no longer a $33 billion project. | ||
The project's years and years behind. | ||
The project's wildly over budget. | ||
That doesn't mean it's a bad idea. | ||
We do have the capacity. | ||
unidentified
|
... | |
to complete a high-speed rail link between Merced and Bakersfield. | ||
Now, I know, I know some critics are going to say, well, that's a train to nowhere. | ||
unidentified
|
We have a real federal partner with our high-speed rail system, an incredible opportunity to finish the work. | |
High-speed rail was mentioned. | ||
$4.2 billion has been requested of the legislature to finish the job. | ||
Someone who's all in on the high-speed rail. | ||
The high-speed rail, not as a rail. | ||
Okay, so let's just go with the facts right now. | ||
17 years ago, high-speed rail, LA to San Francisco. | ||
We'll get a little bit of an update here. | ||
Kevin Dalton, who's an ex-commentator, he actually ran in the recall against Gavin Newsom. | ||
Check this out. | ||
Gavin Newsom, 2010. | ||
California is going to get it right with this new high-speed rail. | ||
Reality, the $33 billion high-speed rail from LA to San Francisco to be completed in 2020 is now a $128 billion train from Bakersfield to Merced with no expected date of completion. | ||
Can we put this map up? | ||
We had Joseph using the most We're good to | ||
field for my birthday many years ago to merced i don't know what's going on in merced just put the map up one more time who's does a train that's going from there to there look like it should be 128 billion dollars after you were promised 33 billion dollars but that is perfect gavin newsom where did all that money go How is Gavin Newsom much richer in the course of all that? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know if those things are directly connected for sure, but this is a man who's destroyed everything he's touched. | ||
We have more things Gavin Newsom has destroyed and touched in just a moment, but first, American Financing, a company that Gavin should probably look into. | ||
Look, I don't know your exact situation, but if you're like the thousands of homeowners American Financing talks to every month, you're struggling to keep up, barely making ends meet drowning in high-interest debt. | ||
And it's not your fault. | ||
Life got more expensive, inflation hit hard, and if you're still carrying credit card balances with 20% plus interest rates while your mortgage sits untouched, you're ignoring the one thing that could turn it all around, your home. | ||
And this is where American Financing can help. | ||
Would you trade 10 minutes for a shot at an average savings of $800 every single month? | ||
Because that's exactly what homeowners are doing when they call American Financing. | ||
A simple, no-obligation call could change everything. | ||
They have a team of salary-based mortgage consultants, so there isn't any incentive to put you into a loan that doesn't make sense. | ||
And there are no upfront fees to find out how much you can save. | ||
Don't wait. | ||
Call American Financing today and start feeling that relief. | ||
1994. That's 866-889-1994 or visit AmericanFinancing.net slash Rubin. | ||
All right, so as I said, pointing out the woke stuff as it pertains to Gavin Newsom, and again, some of you may be watching this going, ah, Gavin, whatever, he's an evil snake person, we all get it, but I don't live in Cali, why should I care? | ||
He is clearly what they are What they are creating, what they are artificially inseminating as the future of the Democrat Party. | ||
So you better care because the destruction and waste that he has brought to California is exactly what would be sent across the entire country. | ||
I want to show you one more of him because homelessness. | ||
This is the man who has created more homelessness than anyone. | ||
San Francisco is like the Walking Dead. | ||
We've played you those videos many, many times. | ||
When he was mayor of San Francisco, he had a 10-year plan to end homelessness for $24 billion. | ||
Let's see how that went. | ||
unidentified
|
What we call a 10-year plan to end chronic homeless in San Francisco. | |
How are you gonna solve homelessness? | ||
What are you gonna do as a new mayor? | ||
And I said, well, what are you gonna do? | ||
unidentified
|
Focus on a housing first model, direct access to housing. | |
Shelter solves sleep. | ||
Housing with wraparound and support services solve homelessness. | ||
Homelessness absolutely can be solved. | ||
Laid out a detailed homeless strategy. | ||
There's been no intentionality on homelessness in this state for decades. | ||
unidentified
|
It's not been a focus. | |
I don't think we can solve homelessness. | ||
unidentified
|
I know we can solve homelessness. | |
We will reduce street homelessness quickly and humanely through emergency action. | ||
unidentified
|
The highest investment the state's ever made is $1 billion on homelessness. | |
We are poised to pass a budget I can literally quantify 58,000 people that we got off the streets last year. | ||
And none of you would believe it. | ||
The state has not made progress in the last two decades as it relates to homelessness. | ||
unidentified
|
Why? We're not interested in funding failure. | |
We're not interested in failing more efficiently when it comes to the issue of homelessness and the crisis on the street. | ||
The best part of that, the state has not! | ||
Yeah, who's been in charge of the state, buddy, in these last two decades? | ||
It's been you. | ||
So you got rich. | ||
Plump Jack winery that you got over there is doing just fine. | ||
You could open it up, turn it into a giant homeless shelter, but you haven't done that. | ||
You did manage somehow, though, to get all the homeless off the street in San Francisco when the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, came. | ||
You were able to do that, and then suddenly the day after he left and you took all the Chinese flags, then they were out there shitting on the street and doing fentanyl and all that other stuff. | ||
But the Democrats have a choice right now. | ||
Right now. | ||
Although, and there's hysteria around it and it gets clicks, the average person is tuning out of the DMBS, uh, the Democrat BS. | ||
So we better, we better find somebody that's going to be a moderate because otherwise we are left with this. | ||
This is Tim Walz. | ||
And as you know, Tim Walz is a, honey, you want to go see Tim Walz? | ||
Tim Walz is doing a talk. | ||
I'd like to see Tim Walz. | ||
Uh, and Tim Walz is just going all in on the lefty craziness. | ||
unidentified
|
That our strength is our diversity? | |
We've been talking about this for years as a country of immigrants. | ||
And we let them define the issue on immigration. | ||
We let them define the issue on DEI. | ||
And we let them define what WOKE is. | ||
We got ourselves in this mess because we weren't bold enough to stand up and say, you're damn right we're proud of these policies. | ||
We're going to put them in. | ||
And we're going to execute them. | ||
No, the choice is yours. | ||
I'm never voting for you people again, but the choice is yours. | ||
And which way, Democrat? | ||
And, you know, obviously we do have some people that I'm sure are moderate Democrats, or at least thought they were moderate Democrats at some point that watched this show. | ||
And it's like, well, which way do you want to go? | ||
If for some reason you still just can't get on the Trump train or something like that, and you're trying to figure out, oh, I want something to be okay here. | ||
Well, here you go. | ||
unidentified
|
What do you mean? | |
You let them define the issue on immigration. | ||
It's you guys for four years that opened up the border. | ||
That defined the issue. | ||
You let other people Us define the issue on DEI. | ||
You guys are the ones that put it in all the institutions and in all the schools and everything else. | ||
You guys are the ones that were discriminating against Asians and whites and everything else. | ||
So we didn't define it. | ||
We pushed back against it. | ||
And if you think that your only problem was you weren't bold enough, you had all of the cultural power, you had all of the institutions, you had the mainstream media, you had everything, everything, and that wasn't bold enough for you? | ||
I guess the next level of your boldness will be blowing up stuff in the streets, which is exactly what you guys are doing. | ||
But it continues, because as they have this tension between, can we fake sanity with Newsom, right? | ||
Can we fake decency with Newsom, because it's not decent and it's not sane, but it's fake and I see what they're doing. | ||
Or do we go the crazy route? | ||
Well, as you know, Jasmine Crockett over there, who is just She is just a piece of work like I've made fun of her a lot and it's mostly because of the eyelashes and the fake accent and everything else but if you want to see what like a Genuinely rotten person like a really just rotten racist person is here. | ||
She is on Lenny Call him Charlotte may not call him Lenny. | ||
She went on his radio show and Byron Donald's who's a great congressman down here in Florida on the southwest side of Florida the Fort Myers Naples area He's been fantastic He is running for governor when DeSantis finishes up his term, and here's Crockett going after Byron, and just listen to how disgusting this is. | ||
And if we continue to put people into office, and that even means some of our skinfolk who definitely are not our kinfolk, such as Byron Donalds, who are going to continue to say that, like, I mean, the fact that you're sitting around talking about life was better under Jim Crow? | ||
unidentified
|
Like, is this because you don't understand history? | |
Or literally, it's because you married a white woman and so you think that that whitewashed you. | ||
I'm not really sure, like, what it is. | ||
Okay, so the easy part, obviously, is that I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Byron Donalds didn't say that life was better under Jim Crow, but the implication that because he married a white woman, that somehow his skin color doesn't matter, that you can't be kinfolk, you're just skinfolk, which is, ugh, that they whittled it all down to that. | ||
That somehow he is a race traitor because he doesn't believe what you believe. | ||
It is the most base level, lowest common denominator racist Nonsense, and she needs to continue to be called out on that because it's it's grotesque and if it came from the right if someone did that on the right that black person over there shouldn't think that because they're black and they better stay in their lane and get in the back of the bus. | ||
I'm fairly certain that would be on CNN. | ||
You know this guy Elie Mistal. | ||
He looks half like Albert Einstein, half like Fat Albert. | ||
He's over there on MSNBC. | ||
He's very concerned because Democrats are always concerned about illegal people. | ||
They're always concerned He's concerned about criminals and drug addicts and racists and rapists, I should say. | ||
Well, they are concerned about fake racists, usually. | ||
He's very concerned that we are deporting violent gang members. | ||
And we already know that there is a Republican hand-picked Trump supermajority on the Supreme Court. | ||
So what do you think they're going to do when it comes to some of these deportations, when it comes to hurting students, and when it comes to deporting alleged gang members, right? | ||
And I say, again, alleged, because there has been no due process determination about their status. | ||
And just to slightly push back on Mark, Even if you tell me and you prove that they're gang members, I'm not so sure that I'm okay with them being sent off to be tortured in a foreign country, but I'll leave that aside. | ||
Okay, how about we send you? | ||
Can we just send you just for a haircut and then I guess you could come back? | ||
Yeah, we gotta get rid of the illegal gang members. | ||
They can't be here. | ||
It's illegal to be here. | ||
And then they squat in people's houses and they sell drugs and do a whole bunch of bad stuff. | ||
But again, you guys are always concerned about the wrong people. | ||
Always concerned about the bad guys, never the good guys. | ||
Also, Trump has a super majority in the Supreme Court. | ||
It's 5-4. | ||
Yes, it leans a little bit conservative, 5-4, but it doesn't always vote conservative. | ||
So it's just—and this is exactly, by the way, why they wanted to pack the Supreme Court, because what they want at all costs and above all else is Power. | ||
And you know what they do when they have power? | ||
They do really, really terrible things. | ||
This is a little bit of a throwback. | ||
We don't talk about COVID much anymore, but do you remember when the White House posted this? | ||
I mean, this was one of the craziest, absolutely most insane things that the Biden administration ever put out there. | ||
For the unvaccinated, you're looking at a winter of severe illness and death. | ||
For yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm. | ||
Yeah, and it kind of didn't turn out that way. | ||
You guys fired people, including doctors and nurses. | ||
You guys forced people to not see their grandmother on her deathbed and lock six-year-olds in rooms for a week with a tray of food outside and all of the other horrific stuff. | ||
And now we're exposing all of that. | ||
Everything. So, you see how I'm connecting this? | ||
Whether it's the high-speed rail that ends up going five times over the border I don't | ||
Interesting thing is, this is happening all over the world with Western governments. | ||
I saw these two tweets over the weekend. | ||
I swear to God, I thought they were parody. | ||
I thought this was a parody account. | ||
Pull this up. | ||
This is the Prime Minister of England, Keir Starmer. | ||
Okay, now he's retweeting something that he wrote on January 24th, so I'm going to read the second thing first. | ||
From January 24th, he wrote of last year, of 2024, Guys, I'm gonna do a quick poll. | ||
Come back to me for just a sec before I read the rest of it. | ||
I'm gonna do a quick poll. | ||
How many of you used knives over the weekend? | ||
Did you eat using them? | ||
I know you like your pork tacos, but did you use any other meals? | ||
You had a piece of steak and you used a knife, and you used a knife. | ||
Joey? Okay, so everyone here used knives over the weekend. | ||
How many, just show of hands again, how many of you, after your meal, you were holding the knife, killed somebody? | ||
Did anyone in this room murder either a waitress or a chef or even? | ||
Alright, I got a little bit of a strange nod over there, but nobody else. | ||
Okay, so maybe one out of five killed somebody. | ||
It's not the knife, you retard. | ||
Go back to the tweet. | ||
So then, over the weekend, confirmed ninja swords will be banned by this summer when we promise action we take it. | ||
Think of all the videos we've shown. | ||
from London and what's going on there with the non-stop jihad and the crime and all of the problems they have. | ||
They're stopping the ninjas. | ||
That's right, Storm Shadow, you're on your way out. | ||
Sorry, Snake Eyes, you're gonna have to get a gun. | ||
It's completely, completely insane. | ||
But this is what they do. | ||
And the sword that he's banning is called a katana. | ||
That's the ninja sword is a katana. | ||
A katana is a ninja sword. | ||
So sorry, Sorry, you're in the UK your katana go to you're gonna have to go to katana.net and have it brought in maybe through France and they'll bring it through the channel illegally Completely completely insane they get everything wrong. | ||
And then what do they do? | ||
What do they do while they're getting all of their power? | ||
Like if you're trying to stop crime and people stop being stabbed in London You might want to look into who's doing the stabbing but you don't want to do that because you think diversity is your strength Just like Tim Walz And all of this, all of this, whether it's the bad policies, the endless assault on common sense, as Bill Maher talked about before, and then you throw in how the media lies about everything, it wakes people up. | ||
And that is the result of the election. | ||
That is why we now have some momentum in this culture war situation. | ||
Megyn Kelly went on a New York Times podcast. | ||
They've got a podcast over there at the New York Times. | ||
I'm sure they're faking their numbers on that too. | ||
And you can see the host really wants to get her on something with Trump. | ||
And Megan just, once again, this is a Megan Kelly masterclass. | ||
unidentified
|
I just want to understand something clearly. | |
Donald Trump was found liable for sexual abuse in a civil court. | ||
He's been accused by many women. | ||
You don't believe any of that? | ||
I think the most serious thing I've heard about him has been the E. Jean Carroll allegation that he sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf dressing room, and I don't believe one word of that. | ||
I don't think Donald Trump is a rapist or a sexual assaulter. | ||
I do think he's taken inappropriate liberties with women and gotten handsy with them in a way he's owned himself, okay? | ||
Years ago when he was a celebrity, and it is what it is. | ||
That's the past. | ||
But it's just about so much more than that. | ||
We are talking about how many people dying at the southern border because of the invasion that we've suffered under Joe Biden. | ||
We're talking about Lincoln Riley, whose killer was let in under Biden. | ||
We put him on a taxpayer flight down to Georgia, where he murdered her. | ||
I don't give a about Trump getting handsy with somebody 20 years ago. | ||
I want someone who will close the border, which he has. | ||
I want someone who will keep boys out of my daughter's sports, which he has. | ||
I want someone who will stand up to the insane DEI policies so that white kids will stop hearing in school that they're born with some original sin from which they cannot recover, which he has. | ||
That's right, Megan. | ||
And that's why we're winning. | ||
And it's like, lady, Whoever you are, interviewer, it doesn't even matter. | ||
Like, you're just sitting in a chair for the New York Times, and you're an interchangeable part. | ||
But lady, with all your good liberal values, and I'm sure you read the New York Times with your coffee on the Upper East over the weekend, and you sit there with light jazz music playing in the background, it's going to be Donald Trump that saves your ability to do that. | ||
Because liberals need conservatives to hold the door to stop all the bad guys from coming in. | ||
So no, no one cares about the 20-year-old scandals already or the rest of it. | ||
So that's just a great job. | ||
I did, just to further illustrate the point, so five people in this room besides me, so six total. | ||
We all used knives over the weekend. | ||
Nobody killed anybody. | ||
I had Joseph run into the studio. | ||
Look at this. | ||
I have a beautiful, this is Japanese steel. | ||
This is a shun knife. | ||
It does not get better than this, right? | ||
Like, look at this thing. | ||
Now, I'm holding this thing. | ||
I'm not going to kill anybody. | ||
You're welcome. | ||
So I'm not going to kill anybody with this. | ||
And that illustrates the point that it's not about this thing. | ||
You could kill someone pretty easily. | ||
Look at that. | ||
Beautiful. And this thing's sharp. | ||
David keeps these knives sharp. | ||
Like, it's not about this thing. | ||
Same person holding a weapon like this would not just hack at somebody. | ||
A crazy person with one of these Would hack at somebody. | ||
That's why I'm not gonna hand it to Phoenix after. | ||
You understand? | ||
That's what we're doing here. | ||
You have a list of people who are allowed to hold the weapons in the studio and a list of people who can't. | ||
Sorry, buddy. | ||
Alright, so there you go. | ||
That was, uh, the more you know. | ||
Can we put the more you know at the end of that thing? | ||
So, okay, with all of this craziness on the left, what's going on with the right? | ||
Well, at the moment, the right is cleaning up a lot of stuff, and people don't really know. | ||
We've been so bludgeoned for so many decades with just endless government nonsense that people in some ways don't know how to react when good things are happening. | ||
So, as I mentioned at the top, Elon and his Doge team sat down with Brett Baier on Friday to explain a little bit of what they're doing in a more granular way. | ||

Alright, so Elon went on Fox and he brought some of the Doge guys, and you know, there have been all these people out there for the last couple weeks. | ||
Well, it's just a bunch of 20 year old kids. | ||
It's a bunch of kids on Discord, meme maker, frog people that are firing all these lifelong civil servants and what you got to see if you watch the interview. | ||
We're not going to show you too much of it, but if you watch the interview, you see him surrounded by about, I don't know, about 10 guys and they are professionals. | ||
They are professionals. | ||
Free people who they explain why they're there and why they're trying to help the government and Elon as usual just like calmly lays it out But here they got into it about Mark Kelly Mark Kelly former astronaut who is a Democrat? | ||
Senator from Arizona who's become one of the most rabid anti Trump people so an astronaut Going against Trump the guy who did save the two astronauts who were stuck up on the space station supposed to be there for eight days up there for nine months And they got into it a bit about Mark Kelly You know, a lot is coming your way, but sometimes you say stuff or post stuff that gets attention. | ||
unidentified
|
You give it out, in other words. | |
Democratic Arizona Senator Mark Kelly posted on X about his trip to Ukraine to push for continuing to send U.S. weapons and support there, and you posted that he was a traitor. | ||
Why do that? | ||
Well, I think somebody should care about the interests of the United States above the interests of another country. | ||
And if they don't, they're a traitor. | ||
The thing that we should be concerned about is we should have empathy for the thousands of people that are dying every day in trenches for no movement in the lines. | ||
So the borders remain the same for the past two years. | ||
Thousands of people have died every week for nothing. | ||
For what? | ||
And I take great offense at those who Those who put the appearance of goodness over the reality of it. | ||
Those who virtue-signal and say, oh, we can't give in to Russia, but have no solution to stopping thousands of kids dying every day. | ||
They just want that to continue forever. | ||
Have contempt for such people. | ||
I don't want to make that clear. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. So you're optimistic? | |
Because they're virtue-signaling, and their lack of a solution means that kids don't have a father. | ||
It means that parents lost a son. | ||
For what? | ||
You know, he's absolutely right there, and I want to get into why it's interesting he's using the phrase virtue signaling right there, which we usually associate with the woke stuff, and he's associating it, obviously, with war here. | ||
But once again, speaking from the heart, right? | ||
Like, clear and clean. | ||
What he's also laying out there is basically what my position on this Russia thing has been from day one. | ||
That, okay, you can give Give them all the weapons. | ||
You can give them all the planes. | ||
You can give them all the tanks. | ||
You can give them the soldiers. | ||
You can give them the tech. | ||
You can give them this, that, the other thing. | ||
But how does that win the war? | ||
And that's why you can give them all the money. | ||
How does that win the war? | ||
That has never been a defense of Putin. | ||
It's never been a defense of one country invading another country's sovereign borders. | ||
But if your argument is only, we have to fund this thing, otherwise you are a bad guy, And I have no solution, right? | ||
And that's why every time we give them more money, does it get us closer to the end? | ||
What's gotten us closer to the end of this thing? | ||
What's gotten us closer to the end is Trump basically sitting Zelensky down and being like, the gravy train is over, so you're going to have to make some concessions. | ||
It does not make Putin a good guy. | ||
Obviously. Obviously. | ||
But to just, okay, more money, more tanks, more planes. | ||
You got it. | ||
More dead people. | ||
More fathers that won't have sons, more sons that won't have fathers. | ||
That does not make you a good guy, and that's the essence of virtue signaling. | ||
So much of what we have been hit by over the last however many years has just been virtue signaling. | ||
People who cannot solve anything, pretending they're the good guys while they try to destroy the work of the actual good guys. | ||
I would say in this case, Elon, here he is going on about what they're doing over at Doge and why the work is so important. | ||
The sheer amount of waste and fraud in the government. | ||
It is astonishing. | ||
It's mind-blowing. | ||
We routinely encounter wastes of a billion dollars or more. | ||
unidentified
|
Casually. At Social Security, one of the first things we learned is that they get phone calls every day of people trying to change direct deposit information. | |
So, when you want to change your bank account, you can call Social Security. | ||
We learned 40% of the phone calls that they get are from fraudsters. | ||
40%? | ||
That's right. | ||
Almost half. | ||
Yes, and they steal people's social security, is what happens. | ||
unidentified
|
Last thing, do you guys all see this as a patriotic duty? | |
Is that really what this is about? | ||
It's essential. | ||
unidentified
|
I do, 100%. | |
I was running five businesses in Houston, and I left that, I left great people to do this. | ||
And my wonderful wife said, go for it. | ||
And here I am. | ||
But I feel like this is me giving back to the country. | ||
If we don't do this, we're sunk. | ||
Unless this exercise is successful, the ship of America will sink. | ||
That's why we're doing it. | ||
Those seem like a bunch of really terrible people, right? | ||
Those guys calmly sitting there explaining why they had to sacrifice to get on board on this thing. | ||
Yeah, they're all doing it really for money and to make sure that that guy can buy nicer t-shirts so he can get a little more cash in his pocket, too. | ||
Like, the attacks on them have just been so profoundly idiotic and over-the-top that that's why I think it's important if you want to watch more of that. | ||
I'm sure the full thing's online somewhere. | ||
And it's just important to see these are qualified people, and it jives completely with something that I've mentioned to you a couple of times, just two or three weeks before he was sworn in, I was at a dinner that RFK was at with about a dozen people, and he said that at no point in his life has he ever seen more qualified, | ||
successful, entrepreneurial people calling him and trying to get involved in the government, putting aside some of their businesses, guys willing to retire and move to D.C. who could be on planes in Monaco for the rest of their lives and laying on the beach, And we're getting good people to fix things. | ||
And what does that do? | ||
Well, it gets bad people really upset. | ||
Because bad people have been stealing your money for their pet projects, often wildly anti-American pet projects, for a long time. | ||
And that's exactly what he's trying to uncover. | ||
unidentified
|
Is that like a train hitting each other? | |
I mean, it seems like it's pretty disruptive. | ||
Well, this is a revolution. | ||
And I think it might be the might be the biggest revolution in government since the original revolution But at the end of the day America is going to be in much better shape America will be solvent the critical programs that people depend upon will work and it's going to be a fantastic future and But are we going to get a lot of complaints along the way? | ||
Absolutely. You know one of the things I learned at PayPal was the you know who complains the loudest? | ||
and with the most amount of fake righteous indignation the fraudsters that's it's a tell that's interesting so you know he did co-create paypal with Peter Thiel, David Sachs, and a bunch of other guys. | ||
And PayPal, you know, I don't even know if people use PayPal that much anymore. | ||
But for 20 years, that was basically the thing that you did to transfer money online. | ||
I remember the first time I paid my rent via PayPal. | ||
I could not believe it that you could just do that instead of having to walk over somewhere. | ||
This has got to be over 20 years ago now. | ||
But instead of walking over to an office and handing somebody a check, I couldn't believe I could do that online. | ||
Like, But he created that. | ||
And so to illustrate what he's doing now, who was most upset when PayPal started figuring out what was going on with people's dollars? | ||
It's the fraudsters. | ||
And it's the fraudsters who've done this in the government. | ||
Notice, he never at one point in that interview said he was going to cut Social Security or cut Medicare. | ||
What they're talking about is cutting the fraud. | ||
But the Democrats are lying repeatedly about that over and over. | ||
And when you lie repeatedly, And you confuse people, and you scare people. | ||
People start doing crazy shit. | ||
We'll have a bit on that, but first, boner pills. | ||
Fellas, let's be real. | ||

Alright, so look guys. | ||
You freak everybody out. | ||
You tell them that by discovering fraud in the government, that somehow that has something to do with Nazism. | ||
You're telling people that the good guys are the bad guys, all of the stuff, and we've been through this for so long that we just have to accept that there are a certain amount of broken-brain people out there. | ||
We got a quick video we showed you. | ||
This is a compilation of some of the people attacking Teslas. | ||
We set it to music. | ||
It's kind of fun. | ||
We showed you this last week. | ||
We're going to start with that, then we'll connect it to the stuff over the weekend. | ||
unidentified
|
back. | |
There's just so much there. | ||
It's like, how do you figure out which is worse? | ||
The guy who rubs his ass on the Tesla? | ||
The guy who pees on the Tesla? | ||
But it's the puke guy. | ||
It's the Hamas puke guy. | ||
You're dressed up in your Hamas outfit, but you know, you're just having a day. | ||
You're just out there. | ||
You know, just having one of your days for Hamas. | ||
You're gonna have mimosas with your friends at Hamas brunch, and then you see a Tesla, and you literally puke. | ||
You force yourself to puke. | ||
And then the best part was that he used his keffiyeh to clean up the puke. | ||
Like, these people are broken-brained, but we have to accept that they're here. | ||
They walk amongst us. | ||
It is completely, completely insane. | ||
Now let's get this over the weekend. | ||
There were massive protests. | ||
All over the country. | ||
I believe we have an image of some of the... | ||
Elon keeps asking for five bullet points, and do you see what that is? | ||
That's a heart with Luigi. | ||
Luigi Mangione, of course, and he's the guy who shot the CEO of UnitedHealthcare on the streets in midtown Manhattan just a few months ago. | ||
Bullet points. | ||
So that is, I would say, as close to a direct Call for violence, as you could get. | ||
And surprise, surprise, Democrats, not only are they fueling this, absolutely fueling this, what was it the Crockett said last week? | ||
She wanted for her birthday, which I think is today, it was March 31st, what did she want? | ||
She wanted not Elon's head on a plate, what was her line? | ||
She wanted someone to take out Elon, that's what she said. | ||
So they are instigating this, absolutely. | ||
And then even when they are asked, can you just condemn the violence? | ||
Well, here's Nancy Pelosi. | ||
unidentified
|
Can you tell us what you think about what's happening with the Tesla products, the violence at the dealerships? | |
What's your take on the situation? | ||
I'm a little bit late here right now. | ||
Disgusting what a disgusting human being she is all she has to do lady. | ||
It's the lowest It's the lowest bar. | ||
We could possibly set just say to people that That they shouldn't violently attack businesses. | ||
That they shouldn't blow up cars and break windows. | ||
That's all you gotta do. | ||
All she had to do was turn and say, you know, I support protests and if people would like to stand outside with signs, that's just fine, but you shouldn't just burn down a Tesla charging station. | ||
But she couldn't do that because she's in such a rush. | ||
And this is the psychology that they have That they have now extrapolated all over the country. | ||
That there are people out there who are broken-brained crazy people. | ||
Connor, do you have a video of broken brain crazy people? | ||
unidentified
|
*outro music* | |
They're dancing to the electric slide. | ||
Elon created the Tesla, an electric car, and you idiots are walking around with Nazi signs saying that the guy who created the electric car is a Nazi while dancing to the electric slide. | ||
Irony is beyond dead. | ||
Here are some more crazy people doing crazy things. | ||
unidentified
|
You say Tesla, boycott! | |
Tesla! Boycott! | ||
Tesla! This is what democracy looks like! | ||
This is what democracy looks like! | ||
Yes! | ||
Alright, again, the ones that are doing it peacefully, you're just doing it peacefully, you have your silly sign, and you're very confused about the issues, but you're doing it peacefully, I will grant you that. | ||
Like, you have the right to protest. | ||
You are protesting the person who is doing it. | ||
All he's doing, he's not cutting your benefits or anything else, he's just trying to get waste out of the system, and you think that makes him a Nazi? | ||
And you have to have sympathy for these people. | ||
They grew up online, their brains are absolutely broken, they've been radicalized by a media that has lied to them about anything. | ||
They're probably, most of them, in some really, really sort of crisis of spirituality or something else. | ||
But my buddy Lionel McGloin, you know him as NoCapOnGod on the internet machine over there, he went out there. | ||
And he wanted to interview these people, because it's one thing to just show videos of them, but you've got to talk to these people, find out what they really think. | ||
And he was out there with them, and this is rather extraordinary. | ||
unidentified
|
This is the Tesla protest in New York City. | |
What's everyone doing here? | ||
Protesting Elon Musk. | ||
What, is it because there's new features in the car they don't like? | ||
What do you have against electric cars? | ||
He smells like alcohol! | ||
No, you're stopping people buying electric cars right now. | ||
I'm protesting you because you're doing this for ego as opposed to for America and that sucks. | ||
Do you like that his factory is in America? | ||
Do you like that you're a f***ing prick? | ||
Do you believe in tax credits for electric vehicles? | ||
F*** you! | ||
Go! Thank you. | ||
Thank you. | ||
But you see, They're making good points. | ||
They're out there. | ||
And again, they want to exercise their free speech. | ||
We're all about that here at the Rubin Report. | ||
But I really do, what he's doing there, what Lionel's doing there really is great because what it does is It shows you these people don't know what they're talking about. | ||
Their hypocrisy is off the charts. | ||
I do, in some sense, I really do sympathize with, like, especially the younger people who are out there who have been told the earth is going to end, and in which case you're going after the guy that's going to send the rockets out there to save us. | ||
But, like, all of the hysteria, and they've been told they grew up in a racist nation, and they got injected with things, all of, like, so the young people who have just been crushed by all of the evil, I'm sympathetic to why they're out there, but the adults, it's like, good God, God, go build something. | ||
Do you know how much happier you are when you're building something and creating something, kind of like Elon does with all sorts of things, as opposed to just wasting your time trying to destroy things? | ||
What do you guys think will happen at the end? | ||
So congratulations, you destroy Tesla as a company. | ||
Which Tesla, by the way, is not just about making Teslas now, right? | ||
It's making robots. | ||
It's making It's taxis. | ||
It's making all sorts of other stuff. | ||
So let's say you destroy all of that. | ||
Will you be happier at the end? | ||
Will you be able to maintain an erection without Blue Chew? | ||
I don't think so. | ||
So think about what you are doing. | ||
And the best thing you can do is what Lionel did right there, which is just make fun of these people. | ||
And this is funny. | ||
This is a bit of a throwback, but Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports, years ago, he went to an Occupy Wall Street thing because, you know, we've got, whether it's Tesla people or it's BLM people, Or it's these Antifa people. | ||
They're all just LARPing as these revolutionaries. | ||
And I think the best way you defeat them is comedy. | ||
And look at this. | ||
unidentified
|
What kind of gloves are those? | |
Are those receiver gloves? | ||
No, they're like, I don't know. | ||
What about, like, so are you anti, like, capitalism? | ||
Like, you don't like people with money and s*** like that? | ||
Well, I mean, the thing. | ||
Because I'm rich as f***. | ||
Well, I mean. | ||
Do you think if you worked as hard as I was, as rich as I was, had a house in Nantucket, vacationed on the beach, had beautiful sunsets at the galley, you'd be walking around with a mask on right now? | ||
I'm not going to betray my values for that. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm not going to build myself up by exploiting other people's labor and, like, push my way to the top that way. | |
Have you ever been in Nantucket? | ||
No. Beautiful. | ||
I've never been to Nantucket, but I've heard good things. | ||
That's the point. | ||
You beat these people. | ||
They don't know what they're doing. | ||
They don't know why they're out there. | ||
They're hypocrites and frauds and fools. | ||
And the thing is that I really want to really want to get in everyone's brains are you can connect all of these things. | ||
This is just the current thing, right? | ||
Like trademark the current thing. | ||
And the current thing once was BLM. | ||
And the current thing once was Antifa. | ||
And then the current thing became Hamas. | ||
And the current thing now is Tesla. | ||
And it replicates itself. | ||
And it uses all the same things. | ||
So we showed you the Dingbats dancing to the electric slide outside of the electric car maker factory. | ||
Well, it's just the same thing that they did during COVID. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
So all they really know how to do is line dance. | ||
That's just fine, right? | ||
Like, that's just fine. | ||
But it's a replicating virus that is bouncing in these people's brains, and we have to figure out what the antidote to that virus is. | ||
Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett was approached by a random lefty and asked him some questions. | ||
Now, we just showed you Nancy Pelosi being asked by some questions, and she couldn't answer him. | ||
Burchett had a different approach. | ||
unidentified
|
Do you trust Trump's national security team to keep our war plans top secret? | |
Do you trust your mother every night to fix your Hot Pockets and make sure your Game Boy is turned on? | ||
I want to give my mom a shout out because not only did we have Hot Pockets, we had Game Boys and they were fully charged. | ||
And we came home from school and we had macaroni and cheese. | ||
Mom, you always put the extra cheese in there. | ||
We appreciate that. | ||
And like that, you know, it's like this is the level of stupidity that we are dealing with. | ||
And the level of stupidity, as you expose these people for their stupidity, and you ask them questions, and they start screaming, or they realize they're actually not communists, or they realize that Trump's not that bad, or they realize that actually Social Security's not going anywhere, they start going further and further crazy. | ||
We really, I don't put trigger warnings on things on the Rubin Report. | ||
Do we have anything, any sort of warning we can place here? | ||
There's just nothing we can, we don't have any kind of, we don't have that sort of thing here. | ||
This is a rage purge event. | ||
Up in Canada, because women mostly are freaking out right now. | ||
They're coming for the women. | ||
And so a bunch of women are going to the forest and screaming. | ||
unidentified
|
Enjoy? Sorry, | |
I didn't intro that properly. | ||
So first you had the women screaming, completely indiscernible from the view. | ||
Was that the view or a bunch of women screaming in the forest? | ||
I have no idea. | ||
The second half of that, of course, also points out that all of this, this hyper state of craziness, it ruins everything. | ||
It ruins art. | ||
It is not art to spank butter in front of people. | ||
Okay? It's not. | ||
It's just not. | ||
You're just crazy person spanking butter. | ||
But it ruins everything. | ||
They ruin everything. | ||
And the way we must take them out is not the way they want to take us out with bullets and with violence and blowing up. | ||
We have to beat them with humor and winning the culture war and just showing how stupid their ideas are. | ||
So here's a tweet from Bernie Sanders. | ||
I'll read it. | ||
unidentified
|
Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let's steal some of their policies. | |
In Denmark, they have healthcare and college are free. | ||
Their starting wage is $22 an hour. | ||
Paid parental leave is one year. | ||
Paid vacation is six weeks. | ||
All workers get pensions. | ||
I'm sorry for whoever's gonna have to clean up the desk. | ||
I just spit all over the place. | ||
Bernie, you don't understand basic things. | ||
You don't understand basic supply and demand. | ||
Okay, we will give all of our workers at McDonald's $22 an hour. | ||
Bernie, what's gonna happen? | ||
Then you know what's going to happen. | ||
They're going to do exactly what they're doing now. | ||
They are going to replace all of those workers with iPads and then they will replace the people in the kitchen with robots. | ||
And there'll be one guy who comes in once a month to Service those things. | ||
And then guess what happens after that? | ||
That guy eventually will be a robot too. | ||
It's virtue signaling, right? | ||
It's the exact same thing that Elon was talking about. | ||
These people pretend they're the good guys. | ||
I'm the good guy. | ||
unidentified
|
Ukraine, we have to give them as much money as possible. | |
And then what does the result turn into? | ||
It turns into a lot of dead young men, right? | ||
And then what is the result of I want a high minimum wage? | ||
It's that you're going to fire people. | ||
Corporations will fire people because they are not worth that amount of money. | ||
And all of this is being exposed in real time. | ||
Like all of their nonsensical policies. | ||
We illustrated a whole bunch about California earlier. | ||
They're just being exposed in real time. | ||
RFK Jr., you know this guy with the seed oils and the beef tallow and all that stuff. | ||
Here he is talking to West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey, telling the guy he needs to lose 30 pounds. | ||
I got to know, I said to Dr. Morris, or Governor Morris, the first time I saw him, I said, you look like you ate Governor Morris. | ||
And there was a lot of talk about getting healthy again, and I'm very happy that he's invited me to be his personal trainer. | ||
And I am going to put him... | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
I'm going to put him on a really rigorous regimen. | ||
And we're going to put him on a carnivore diet. | ||
We're going to make him do... | ||
Raise your hand if you want Governor Morrissey to do a public weigh-in once a month. | ||
And then when he's lost 30 pounds, I'm going to come back to the state and do a celebration and a public weigh-in with him. | ||
You know how much winning we have? | ||
We have so much winning right now that fat shaming is back. | ||
Look, I know you might say, okay, don't make fun of fat people or something like that, and everyone's got a glandular problem, and you know, oh my god, those bonbons are just so good at night, I have to have them. | ||
But what is RFK really trying to do? | ||
He's trying to make people healthy again. | ||
Get the seed oils out, stop frying and all of this bad stuff, get a little bit of sun, do some exercise. | ||
Try the carnivore diet for a month and see what happens, right? | ||
It really worked for me. | ||
Get a little control over your life. | ||
And I know that could be framed as he's being mean, making fun of the fat guy, but if we're all healthier, we'll all start being a little happier. | ||
We'll be less dependent on the system. | ||
And then Bernie, who wants healthcare for all, will realize that actually, if you take care of yourself, you'll need that system a little bit less, instead of having a bunch of fat slobs who are eating all of the wrong things and never taking care of themselves, dependent on a system that you yourself say isn't so good. | ||
Jim Jordan is one of the good guys. | ||
Congressman from Ohio, of course. | ||
He's the one that uncovered the fact that the government literally censored me during COVID and took down one of my tweets with the old regime of Twitter. | ||
There was a big congressional hearing over the last couple days about NPR, because we give NPR and PBS, National Public Radio Public Broadcast Syndicate, I think it is, we give them a whole bunch of money and they've become really partisan, lefty, places of factory, let's say. | ||
So they brought in the CEO of NPR, Catherine Marr, and asked her, what have you people been doing over there at NPR? | ||
We give you a bunch of money. | ||
We thought it was just to kind of have some kind of public thing that would be pretty good, kind of maybe pro-America or something. | ||
unidentified
|
Is NPR biased? | |
Never. Well, Mr. Berliner in his story last year wrote, in the D.C. area, editorial positions at NPR, he said he found 87 registered Democrats, zero Republicans. | ||
Mr. Berliner, was he lying when he wrote that? | ||
I am not presuming such. | ||
I just don't have, we don't track that information about our journalists. | ||
87 to zero? | ||
And you're not biased? | ||
Congressman, I do not believe we are politically biased. | ||
No, we are a non-partisan organization. | ||
Non-partisan organization. | ||
What's happened to your listeners over the last five years? | ||
Went up, down, or stayed the same? | ||
It has gone up and down and is now going back up. | ||
I thought five years ago it was at 60 million. | ||
More money for less listeners. | ||
You fired the guy who pointed all this out, who said that you were so biased to the left that you lost listeners, which is exactly happening. | ||
And you're here maintaining that, oh, you need to continue to get taxpayers' money. | ||
Alright, let's do the Blue Sky version first. | ||
First, before anything she said, do you think at this point with the internet, are any of you on the internet? | ||
Do you have a phone in your pocket? | ||
There's all sorts of ways of getting information. | ||
Do you think that it is the government's job to take your money and then give it to places like NPR and PBS so we have public radio? | ||
Putting aside the political part, like, Do you think that in 2025 that is a necessity? | ||
Of course it is not. | ||
Of course. | ||
If you defunded PBS and you closed Sesame Street and Oscar the Grouch had to live in a garbage can, it would be okay. | ||
I used that joke on Gutfeld. | ||
I got the same reaction. | ||
You get it because he already lives in a garbage can? | ||
I thought it was funny. | ||
Anywho. Um, so that's just like the blue sky version. | ||
Like, why are we funding this thing? | ||
Then as it pertains to the political partisanship, of course it's become like that. | ||
You think on NPR they're doing stories when they do their stories? | ||
And they talk like this because they're all drugged up on all of their cocktail of Prozac and whatever else. | ||
And we talk like this and we tell you something like this because we're talking like this. | ||
And that means we're the good guys because we sound like asexual robots because we're talking like this. | ||
Do you think they ever do a story on, I don't know, maybe being pro-life? | ||
Do you think they ever do a story on that? | ||
Do you think they ever do a story on, I don't know, why capitalism is good? | ||
Why strength through peace makes sense? | ||
Of course not. | ||
Of course it's become partisan. | ||
So the fact that it's losing viewers or listeners is in some sense irrelevant. | ||
Like, should we be funding it in the first place? | ||
And then obviously they've become highly partisan. | ||
Here now, Catherine Marr admits that they did fail to cover some stories. | ||
And do you think that maybe it had something to do with political partisanship? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I do want to say that NPR acknowledges that we were mistaken in failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story more aggressively and sooner. | |
Our current editorial leadership- In Wuhan? | ||
Uh, we recognize that we were reporting at the time, but we acknowledge that the new CIA evidence is worthy of coverage and have covered... | ||
Oh, that's something. | ||
So, um, you're not partisan, but you just happen to miss basically the two biggest stories. | ||
I guess you could throw a Russia collusion story, which I'm sure you guys were running with because that one fit your thing, right? | ||
Fit the narrative, but you missed the COVID thing. | ||
And you know, you missed the Hunter Biden laptop thing. | ||
So again, why should the people of the United States give you money lady? | ||
Now this thing, this was the absolute highlight. | ||
We covered this on, uh, It's interesting because a lot of your thinking, as expressed by your public statements, is deeply infused with economic and cultural Marxism. | ||
unidentified
|
Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy? | |
I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade. | ||
It has evolved. | ||
unidentified
|
Why did you tweet that? | |
I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't be able to say. | ||
Okay. Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and white democracy? | ||
I don't believe that, sir. | ||
You tweeted that in reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently, The Case for Reparations. | ||
I don't think I've ever read that book, sir. | ||
You tweeted about it. | ||
You said, You took a day off to fully read the case for reparations. | ||
You put that on Twitter in January of 2020. | ||
I apologize. | ||
I don't recall that I did. | ||
Okay. I have no doubt that your tweet there is correct, but I don't recall that. | ||
Okay. Do you believe that white people inherently feel superior to other races? | ||
I do not. | ||
You don't? | ||
You tweeted something to that effect. | ||
You said, I grew up feeling superior. | ||
Ha, how white of me. | ||
unidentified
|
Why did you? | |
You see that, guys? | ||
That's how you do it. | ||
It's subtle. | ||
You mock them. | ||
You use their own words against them. | ||
I love, much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade. | ||
Yes, suddenly, lady, in the last five years, you've decided that America's not white supremacist. | ||
You are just terrible. | ||
Just one more on her, because this, here she is in 2022. | ||
I think we showed you this clip once before. | ||
So this is the woman who has been heading NPR and PBS. | ||
And here she is talking about truth, and this is one of the most dangerous statements I have ever heard. | ||
Listen to this. | ||
But one of the most significant differences, critical for moving from polarization to productivity, is that the Wikipedians who write these articles aren't actually focused on finding the truth. | ||
They're working for something that's a little bit more attainable, which is the best of what we can know right now. | ||
And after seven years there, I actually believe that they're onto something. | ||
That for our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the truth isn't necessarily the best place to start. | ||
In fact, I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done. | ||
Do you see why people that want power over you often have to kill a lot of people? | ||
What does she need? | ||
She doesn't put truth at the top of the hierarchy of human importance. | ||
The quest for truth, it is the thing that has driven humans more than literally anything else. | ||
It is the most important question that humans can ask, right? | ||
Like, what am I doing here? | ||
Why am I here? | ||
What is actually true? | ||
But that's inconvenient to her because she wants to progress. | ||
And of course, what she's talking about there is that it was the Wikipedia editors who found that the quest for truth was a problem. | ||
And that's why Wikipedia has become a cesspool of propaganda. | ||
So the best way to describe that is, do you think the ends justify the means? | ||
If you have a goal and you are willing to destroy the truth for your goal, well, you're her. | ||
If you believe that there is something that is true and it is your duty as a human being to find it or try to attain it or head in its direction and then build something along the way that... | ||
that orients us towards that, well then I'm a little more interested in what you're doing. | ||
But that lady should not have a job anymore. | ||
Trump, at 1.30 a.m. the other night, NPR and PBS, two horrible and completely biased platforms, networks, should be defunded by Congress immediately. | ||
Republicans don't miss this opportunity to rid our country of this giant scam, both being arms of the radical left Democrat party, just say no and make America great again. | ||
Yeah, it's just right. | ||
It's just right. | ||
Putting aside all of the partisanship, why are we funding this freaking thing? | ||
Now let's kind of get to the full circle part of the show. | ||
Bill Maher. | ||
Bill Maher. | ||
Liberal Bill Maher. | ||
He kind of gets it. | ||
The heads of NPR and PBS testified before Congress this week amid accusations of liberal bias. | ||
Should the government continue to send taxpayer dollars to public broadcasters? | ||
I mean, I also read my namesake, Catherine Marr, was head of NPR. | ||
And, you know, she said, we're completely unbiased. | ||
Give me a break, lady. | ||
I mean, they're crazy far left. | ||
So, I mean, I think we're past, my view, we're past the age, really, where the government, first of all, why do we need to subsidize? | ||
Why can't we have outlets like this? | ||
And we're so polarized. | ||
These outlets became popular at a time When Republicans and Democrats didn't hate each other and weren't at each other's throats and didn't think each other was an existential threat in that world, you can't have places like this, I think, anymore. | ||
They have to be... | ||
Yeah, so, Bill, that's right. | ||
That is right. | ||
You don't need it anymore. | ||
It is highly partisan, and it's gotta go away now. | ||
And interestingly, Bill Maher will be meeting Donald Trump at the White House this week. | ||
A guy Bill has spent a decade going after Trump. | ||
Trump has threatened to sue him. | ||
They've said horrible things about each other. | ||
But Kid Rock is making it happen and Maher is going to the White House. | ||
Here's Maher explaining to Chris Cuomo why you would meet someone that you've spent, you know, a decade going after. | ||
You're going to meet with the President? | ||
I am. | ||
unidentified
|
So, Kid Rock makes it happen. | |
What do you think has been the response so far? | ||
What do you think it will be, and why are you doing it? | ||
Which I'm totally for, by the way, and I love it. | ||
I get it. | ||
Well, I'm doing it because, first of all, it was presented as... | ||
A dare? | ||
Not a dare. | ||
No, just like, maybe this is a beginning to heal America. | ||
No, I don't have some sort of complex where I think I can heal America. | ||
I can't. | ||
Okay, let's get that clear. | ||
I'm not going to be healing America. | ||
But if two guys who've been at each other for so long, I mean, it's kind of a Nixon to China thing. | ||
I have the credential. | ||
There was nobody who was harder on Trump or more prescient about the fact that he wasn't going to leave office voluntarily than I was. | ||
I feel like I have the credentials. | ||
But they also respect me because I'm honest about the woke train to crazy town. | ||
And I don't shrink from that. | ||
And I've also lost a lot of fans for that. | ||
The woke people have left the building and I'm willing to make that sacrifice. | ||
If they expect me to be leaving in a MAGA hat, they're going to be very disappointed, but I know they don't. | ||
And I think it's going to be, you know, look, it probably will accomplish very little, but You gotta try, man. | ||
You gotta try. | ||
Yeah, and maybe that's what we need a little bit more of. | ||
So I would hold two thoughts. | ||
One is, you don't let the real bad guys back in. | ||
That's why I started the show going off on Gavin Newsom. | ||
It's fake, it's inauthentic, his track record has shown nothing but destruction. | ||
But what you do do is you try to build some bridges where you can. | ||
And that, yes, Bill kind of referenced January 6th there, and he's not going to walk out with a MAGA hat, even though Trump will treat him far better than Obama or any Democrat would. | ||
But what he's trying to do is go... | ||
Maybe the country could get over a little bit of some of this stuff and we do agree at least on a little bit and we do see a common enemy in the woke stuff and the radical left stuff. | ||
So let's give it a go. | ||
And unfortunately, what Bill is offering up there is not what most of the Democrats are going to do. | ||
Nancy Pelosi, will you condemn? | ||
Do you have any thoughts on the violence? | ||
Can't answer the question. | ||
So the Democrats are Largely, you're going to choose their way. | ||
And what I would hope is that Republicans will continue to do everything that this last year has proven, which is that you bring in more America-loving people, even if they want higher tax rates, even if they've been confused about some of the issues, even if they got very fine people wrong, even if they got some COVID stuff wrong. | ||
But if they're coming around They're Americans, too. | ||
And then you get a freakin' wide-ass tent, and the 27% that think the Democrats are good is gonna be about 13%. | ||
And then we can really get to that golden age of America. | ||
That is our program on this Monday. | ||
I'm gonna take that big cleaver and take care of business. | ||
One of you guys are in a lot of trouble. | ||
We got a postgame show coming out in just a second. | ||
ReubenReport.Locals.com. | ||
If you have not seen it, Dave's Meat is up right now. | ||
You can check out that video. | ||
Yes, I smoked A Wagyu Tomahawk. | ||
We're gonna do some more of these and yes, a few people said Dave Wagyu is expensive, Tomahawk is expensive. | ||
We'll do it with some easier... | ||
Cuts that aren't as expensive and we'll do some other cooking stuff and some other fun things outside of the studio soon also, I think we're gonna track my you know, I busted up my knee we're gonna track my Recovery and getting some stem cells and peptides and all that and a bunch more on something really spectacular in about About 11 days from now, but I don't want to say it because I don't want to jinx it. | ||
So stay tuned on that Thank you for watching. | ||
See you tomorrow. | ||
