dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		J.D. dropping the trophy.
		Ohio State winning the college championship.
		Trophy fell apart.
		They're going to have to look into that.
		Maybe they've been cheaping out on the money spent on trophies as we're cleaning up this government waste.
		Hello! I'm Dave Rubin.
		This is The Rubin Report.
		It's April 15th.
		That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
		It is tax day, and we've got the official Defund the IRS Rubin Report shirt.
		You can get yours.
		You know, we never pimp out the merch store.
		We don't do it.
		They always tell me, Dave, pimp out the merch store.
		That's what they say to me constantly, and I say, we're just soft.
		Soft-pedaling, this stuff.
		But yeah, if you want to get the defund the IRS shirt, you can get it in a multitude of colors.
		You can mix up the font and the color of the t-shirt, etc., etc.
		DaveRubin.store, you can get it now.
		We have a post-game show, as always, RubinReport.locals.com.
		And, you know, yesterday, I called it up top.
		It's rare that I do it.
		I leave it for you good people and the, well, I refer to them as the Oompa Loompas here to select in advance.
		What the show is going to do, right?
		Out of 10. You can never get a 10 out of 10. Usually they throw me between a 9.2 and a 9.6.
		That's where I'm happy.
		Anything below a 9.2, unacceptable.
		Over a 9.6, fantastic.
		I called the 9.9 at the beginning of the show.
		Saw that many of you agreed yesterday.
		It also was our longest show ever.
		I don't think we're going to top that today, but we do have a primo show for you that kind of, as we were doing the rundown, today's show just kind of encapsulates everything.
		The good stuff that's happening, the bad stuff that's happening, the nonsense that is being uncovered.
		And just the fight that we are all in that I really do think we are winning and sometimes it's hard to see.
		So let's just dive right in because Naive Bukele, who is the president of El Salvador, and we've talked a lot about this guy.
		This is a guy who came into El Salvador, which in effect, when he got there, he's now in his second term.
		It was...
		Basically, a third-world country.
		It was thought of as the most dangerous country literally in the world.
		I've been to El Salvador.
		I've been to San Salvador.
		I was there probably about 12 years ago.
		My brother-in-law was doing some volunteer work there, helping people, poor people in villages, get shoes.
		He was down there doing a research project, and I spent about two weeks.
		Down there, and we had to have armed security with us, and we had to basically live in a fenced-in area with barbed wire everywhere.
		And if you literally, they warned us, do not walk out of this place.
		You walk out one block, you likely will get killed.
		They had...
		Gangs that were, you know, going into the hills and just taking people's homes, squatter.
		I don't know.
		It was kind of like California, actually.
		Really, really rough place.
		Bukele comes in.
		He cleans it up.
		It is now one of the safest countries in the world.
		He's just done an absolutely incredible job.
		And the reason he's on the map for us at the moment is because, as you know, we've talked about it.
		Some of the people that we are deporting, the gang members, the fentanyl dealers, the Tren de Aragua people.
		We're sending them down to El Salvador, where they have these futuristic prisons, basically, where they're putting these people to work.
		So they're cleaning up their country, and then they're making some money on the prisoners that are illegally here, that are gang members, that we don't want.
		He's just doing an incredible job.
		Anyway, he went to the White House yesterday.
		And this is where you can just see that there is a reordering of the world.
		There are countries that are going to come with us with the Trump move, right, towards freedom, towards democracy, ending this globalist nonsense.
	You can see it with Bukele.
	You can see it with Javier Malay in Argentina.
	You can see it with Viktor Orban in Hungary and some other countries.
	Anyway, here's Bukele at the White House talking to Trump about why he imprisoned these people, why he cleaned up the streets.
	And then he has just a great line here.
unidentified		He actually turned the murder capital of the world.
		That was the journalist called it, right?
		Murder capital of the world to the safest country in the Western country.
		And, you know, sometimes they say that we increase in thousands.
		I like to say that we have to deliberate in millions.
		So, you know, like, it's very good.
		Who gave them that line?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Do you think I can use that?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, great line.
		Look, murder, capital of the world.
		And I'm telling you, I saw it firsthand.
		And now...
		While everyone is always focused, what I always tell you about what the lefties, what the Democrats are always focused on the wrong things, right?
		They think up is down, left is right.
		They think criminals are good guys and good people are criminals and everything else.
		So what did he do?
		He imprisoned bad guys, thus freeing.
		He actually freed his own people.
		It's absolutely fantastic.
		It's miraculous, actually, what this guy has done.
		And it's good to see that we're learning a little something from it.
		Who would have thought that the world's last remaining superpower, the United States of America, would have to look to a place like El Salvador, which again was basically a third world nation only a decade ago, to figure out how do you do things right?
		How do you actually have law and order and everything else?
		And now we have this incredible partnership.
		Which is working for both of us, because when we send some of these gang members there, they don't need a lot of money for that, right?
		Their economy is very different than ours, so it doesn't cost us a lot, where if we kept them here, it would cost us an awful lot of money.
		So there's just, this thing is really working.
		Anyway, then here's where it starts getting interesting.
		Caitlin Collins, she's on CNN, and she asked Trump about this guy.
		There's a guy that was a Trende Aragua.
		Militant, you call him militant, gang member, whatever you want to call him, who has been sent to El Salvador.
		He lived in Maryland.
		CNN is very upset about that.
		Caitlin asked Trump about it and then watched Pam Bondi check in.
unidentified		Go ahead.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Let's hear the question from this very low-rated anchor at CNN.
		Low-rated.
		Which one is that?
		Well, let me ask Pam.
unidentified		Would you answer that question?
		First and foremost, he was illegally in our country.
		He had been illegally in our country.
		And in 2019, two courts, an immigration court and an appellate immigration court, ruled that he was a member of MS-13 and he was illegally in our country.
		Right now, it was a paperwork.
		It was additional paperwork that needed to be done.
		That's up to El Salvador if they want to return him.
		That's not up to us.
		The Supreme Court ruled, President, that if, as El Salvador wants to return him, this is international matters, foreign affairs, if they wanted to return him, we would facilitate it, meaning provide a plane.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, quick correction.
		You know I like making corrections on the fly.
		I think I said he was from Trenderagua.
		My mistake, he was from MS-13.
		Great people all around, either way.
		But I want to just throw back to something here.
		Look at this image for just a second.
		Now, look at the competency that you have in this room right now.
		So you first, Bukele is just out of frame right there, obviously doing a bang-up job in his country.
		Then we don't have to talk about Trump at this point.
		Then JD, who...
		By every measure has done an exceptionally good job so far as vice president.
		Marco Rubio, who I would say has been absolutely pitch perfect, and it's almost impossible to imagine someone kind of selling America in a better sense as secretary of state.
		You have Pam Bondi clearly laying out the law right there.
		Kirstie Noem is behind them.
		And Susie Wiles, who's the White House Chief of Staff, who's been unbelievably great.
		Stephen Miller, we're going to show him in just a sec.
		That's his green tie right there.
		But do you realize how different that image was?
		Sorry, throw to it one more time.
		Because that image would be so different just a few months ago.
		That would have been Biden, Joe Biden, who had dementia.
		Kamala Harris, who knew something about Venn diagrams.
		Anthony Blinken, who was just nothing.
		He was just nothing in a suit.
		Merrick Garland, again, just kind of a nothing in a suit.
		And it would have been Mayorkas over there.
		Orcas with the big eyebrows who let in, you know, 10 to 12 to 15 million people.
		So it's important to just realize how things have changed in a very, very short period of time.
		Anyway, it continued because Caitlin Collins and a couple of the other journalists there kept hitting that whole crew right there as per this.
		MS-13 gang member who came into our country illegally, who was somehow living in Maryland.
		But of course, CNN is very, very concerned about him.
		So then Stephen Miller, who has just been like, this guy is just so ready for the gig.
		Here he goes.
stephen miller ▲ ● ▼		Yes, gladly.
		So as Pam mentioned, there's an illegal alien from El Salvador.
		So with respect to you, he's a citizen of El Salvador.
		It's very arrogant, even, for American media to suggest that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens as a starting point.
		As two immigration courts found that he was a member of MS-13, which meant that under our law, he's not even allowed to be present in the United States and had to be returned because of the foreign terrorist designation.
		This issue was then, by a district court judge, Completely inverted.
		And a district court judge tried to tell the administration that they had to kidnap a citizen of El Salvador and fly him back here.
		That issue was raised to the Supreme Court.
		And the Supreme Court said the district court order was unlawful and its main components were reversed 9-0 unanimously, stating clearly that neither...
		Secretary of State, nor the president could be compelled by anybody to forcibly retrieve a citizen of El Salvador from El Salvador, who again is a member of MS-13, which as I'm sure you understand, rapes little girls, murders women, murders children,
		is engaged in the most barbaric activities in the world, and I can promise you if he was your neighbor, you would move right away.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Did you see that moment right at the end?
		If you didn't see it, just rewind later.
		There's a great moment in the last two seconds there where Trump looks at Bukele and he's nodding like...
		This guy knows his shit.
		And if you watch that, not only is everything, he's laying out fact after fact.
		That's what Miller's doing.
		But you can just see, again, this competent group of people.
		It does not mean they're perfect.
		It does not mean they're going to...
		Never make mistakes or there'll never be leaks or any of those things.
		But the level of competency right there, think how different that is than, say, when Biden or Kamala was talking.
		Every time we'd see them talking and there'd be people around them.
		Remember Biden on the plane and Blinken pokes his head out because he's like, oh shit, what's he about to say?
		Or every time Kamala was saying anything and people were like, man, is she gonna land the plane here?
		What is this woman talking about?
		So there is a level of competency.
		Also, real quick, I want to address the court situation.
		Activist judges that are district court judges, if they are allowed to overrule every time the president does something, we don't have a separation of powers at all.
		We are just ruled by judges.
		So if...
		A lower court judge wants to try to stop the president from doing something.
		He can make a ruling, but that doesn't mean that the executive branch has to listen to it immediately, let it work its way up the courts, and then if it gets to the Supreme Court and they override the president, that's different.
		But otherwise, if you're going to let any district court judge anywhere get virtually any case about something the president did, well then...
		We literally will not have a democracy anymore.
		The people who vote for the president will actually have no voice in it, and we'll end up having this thin layer of judges who will decide everything.
		I don't think that is what we want.
		Here's Bukele and Rubio talking about taking back this MSNBC gang member.
		It doesn't even make a difference, go.
unidentified		Can President Bukele weigh in on this?
		Do you plan to return him?
		Well, I'm supposed to suggest that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States, right?
		How can I smuggle, how can I return him to the United States?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		If I could, I smuggle him into the United States?
unidentified		Of course, I'm not gonna do it.
unidentified		It's like, I mean, the question is preposterous.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?
unidentified		I don't understand what the confusion is.
		This individual is a citizen of El Salvador.
		He was illegally in the United States and was returned to his country.
harry enten ▲ ● ▼		That's where you deport people, back to their country of origin.
unidentified		Except for Venezuela, that wasn't refusing to take people back or places like that.
harry enten ▲ ● ▼		I can tell you this, Mr. President.
unidentified		The foreign policy of the United States is conducted by the President of the United States, not by a court.
		And no court in the United States has a right to conduct the foreign policy of the United States.
		It's that simple.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You should really be proud to be an American listening to these people.
		First off, El Salvador, you should be proud to be an El Salvadorian if you're listening to your president right there.
		But of course Rubio is right.
		First off, you can't let the courts do this.
		I just illustrated that.
		But secondly, even if this guy was not an MSNBC-13 gang member, we're using that for now on, that's how I'm saying it, even if he was not one of those, he still was here illegally.
		So we took someone who was here illegally.
		From their country, in this case, I'll speak slowly, like I'm doing this for an MSNBC viewer.
		We took someone who did something illegal.
		That's a bad thing.
		And then we sent them back to the place where they're from.
		That's a good thing.
		And that's what we did, okay?
		Now, wait, did we show the clip where Trump said the hate on CNN?
		No, we're going to show...
		Oh, okay.
		So now watch this.
		So, well, just watch Trump and then just take a look.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		You know, like CNN over here doesn't want to put them out because they don't like putting out good numbers.
		They don't like putting out...
		Because I think they hate our country, actually.
dana bash ▲ ● ▼		Before I get to you, I just want to say, for the record, since we heard President Trump say in the Oval Office that CNN hates our country.
unidentified		CNN. Okay, so Trump says that CNN hates the country.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Dana Bash, who I just, there's something about that woman that seems so fraudulent and fake.
		Don't forget, she once had Tom Cotton from Arkansas, a senator from Arkansas on her show, and she literally said to him, and why have you been on Dave Rubin's show?
		Like, I do not like that lady.
		But it's not for me to say whether CNN hates the country or not.
		Why don't we leave it to CNN?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		Here's a breaking news.
unidentified		We live in a racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic country.
		Everything they're doing runs against making America great.
		It was never great, so I'm not going to say the again part, but making America great.
		Kicking off the Independence Day weekend, President Trump will be at Mount Rushmore, where he'll be standing in front of a monument of two slave owners and on land wrestled away from Native Americans, told that he'll be focusing on the effort to, quote, Tear down our country's history.
		They strongly believe, these human smugglers, that this is their chance to enter the United States.
		This is their chance at the American dream.
		That's why they risk everything, only to find out that it's all a lie.
		And when we got our freedom, our quote-unquote freedom, we were never restored whole, which is why you hear about reparations.
w kamau bell ▲ ● ▼		So until the United States atones for that and makes good on that, we're still living in a racist country.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
		They seem like they love America over on CNN.
		Like, what an absolute joke.
		You guys did all of this.
		All of the cultural rot.
		All of the lying about America's history.
		All of the lying about how we're all racists and everything else.
		You guys did this.
		You guys actually unearthed Trump.
		Had you not been doing that forever, telling us that we're all evil.
		And that we live in an evil place.
		And ironically, also saying everyone should come to this horrible place.
		Usually people flee evil places.
		But in this case, it's horrible.
		Come, join us.
		The soup is terrible.
		Taste it.
		Like, you guys did this.
		You then caused Donald Trump to appear.
		So congratulations.
		You got exactly what you deserve.
		It is tax day, which means this is probably my last ad for Tax Network USA for a while.

		Tax season is here.
		Don't wait for April 15th to make a move.
		Beat the IRS to it.
		Nice to live in Florida on tax day, isn't it?
		Think about it.
		Just years ago, guys, we all lived in Cali, and we were paying Gavin Newsom to basically try to kill us.
		And now we pay no income tax.
		Pretty sweet.
		Pretty, pretty, pretty sweet.
		Let's stick with CNN for a minute because, again, it's up to you to decide whether they hate the country or not.
		But there is this man, Scott Jennings.
		And as you know, they put him on this program with five people who I think you could largely argue hate the country or are very confused about what the issues are.
		Really are just a rotating cast of nobodies who just go up against the guy and he smacks them down.
		Here's one of those such incidents.
		And do we have the...
		Yeah, we've got it.
unidentified		Go. It's an error, and it was a mistake.
unidentified		So this, I think you're speaking about their public view of the case.
scott jennings ▲ ● ▼		I'm telling you that their view of it is that it's an El Salvador citizen who was sent back to El Salvador, who was in the country illegally, who, according to some people in his long process, which does include an existing deportation order, believes that he has an affiliation.
		With MS-13, as I said, there's no version of this man's life where he comes back.
		And let me say one more thing.
		The people that want him brought back need to understand something.
		If the president of El Salvador releases him, and we do facilitate his return, when he lands in this country, one of two things will happen.
		He will be arrested, and then he'll either be sent back to El Salvador, where he is now, Could we have played more of that?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I'd love to know what that guy said after that.
		That's the definition of tyranny.
		Taking an illegal gang member from our country, Maryland, and in the state of Maryland, sending him to his home country, that is the definition of tyranny.
		Also, we're just sending him to his home country.
		We didn't pick him up and then send him to France, right?
		Then you could see France being like, we're not thrilled that you have this guy.
		You got to take him back.
		Now, either way, Scott Jennings makes the point.
		If El Salvador was like, boy, we really can't take this guy back because, you know, we don't have any room in our super prisons, we're going to send him back to America.
		Well, then he's just going to get arrested the second he gets back into America.
		And thus why we've titled it Scott and the Retards.
		Here's Timu Obama.
		You know this guy, Hakeem Jeffries.
		And here he is, again, always defending the bad guys, never defending the United States, its citizens, or the good law-abiding people.
hakeem jeffries ▲ ● ▼		To intensify the pressure on the Trump administration to comply with the Supreme Court's directive and the Supreme Court and or the federal district court actually needs to enforce its order.
		And the vehicles that are available for the court to do that relate to contempt.
		And that contempt can be directed at a variety of different members of the Trump administration, including but not limited to the secretary of state and or his or her designees and the secretary of Homeland
		Security and or his or her designees for the court to determine.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I am telling you, it is going to come out that that man is a robot.
		He is not a real person.
		He is a low-grade.
		If this was the sci-fi movie, he's like the first-generation humanoid robot.
		That kind of breaks down as they create the new or more advanced robots.
		Now, in the movie, he usually turns out to be the good guy, right?
		Because he's the first generation.
		He likes humanity more.
		But I don't think that's what's happening with this guy.
		Again, yes, okay, what are you going to do?
		You're going to arrest Marco Rubio for sending an El Salvadorian back to El Salvador?
		Is that what you're going to do?
		Now, I have to pause the show for a moment because Joseph over here, young Joseph, 20, 20, 22 years old.
		There is a video game called Five Nights at Freddy's, and I've never heard of this game, but he has.
		What are you playing on?
		PlayStation? On PlayStation?
		On iPhone.
		You're playing on your iPhone.
		And it's called Five Nights at Freddy's, and he watched that clip of Timo Obama, and he created this.
		Now, I don't understand it, but maybe you will.
		I don't know.
unidentified		Screams
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Just getting old?
		Like, I'm just getting...
		Do you get it?
		You sorta get it.
		Do you get it?
		You don't get it.
		You're telling me because he looks like that robotic bear or because he's a robot or something like...
		Anyway, this is a real dividing line right now on the viewership of the Rubin Report.
		Anyone over 40, you have no fucking idea what that was about.
		Anyway, let's let it go.
		Well, if that didn't make any sense to you, here's Nancy Pelosi.
unidentified		Damn. So the reason I'm showing you that clip is because this is what they've done with everybody.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		They've tried to confuse you about words, right?
		They're undocumented, not illegal, right?
		They do this all the time.
		As you know, that Biden...
		was referring to Lake and Riley's killer.
		Remember at one point Biden said that Lake and Riley's killer was illegal and then in an interview a few days later because he got pushed back.
		From his wacky leftist wing, he then was like, well, I shouldn't have used that word.
		He mumbled it out, of course.
		I shouldn't have used that word.
		I should have said undocumented.
		And this is what they do with everything.
		Again, they are always concerned about the bad guys.
		They are never concerned about you, the American citizen.
		Now, this one is wild.
		So you know that AOC is out there with Bernie Sanders, and Bernie Sanders gets on stage from, I hate Americans!
		He does that.
		And then AOC gets up there and she has a new accent every day.
		So here she has some sort of auctioneer accent.
		It's a little Swedish at one point, too.
		Watch it.
		It's something.
		And, you know, there's some stuff about racists and whatever.
unidentified		Donald Trump is a criminal who was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud!
		Liable for sexual abuse!
		I'm manipulating the stock market too.
		When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror.
		Of course, he's doing that.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It reminded me of the chef from The Muppets.
unidentified		Remember this guy?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What is that accent?
		Of course, Donald Trump's a racist and a criminal.
		Man, she is just LARPing, live-action role-playing, guys.
		She's making up bullshit to radicalize a base that will gladly burn down the cities and everything else.
		we'll have more on uh democrat and far left violence in just a second but here's an ad from
		You ever try dealing with health insurance lately?
		It's like they've designed it to be as confusing and frustrating as possible.
		Premiums keep going up, coverage keeps going down, and just when you think something's covered, boom, claim denied.

		It's not health insurance.

		Take care of your health insurance today.
		All right, so let's talk about some other Democrats.
		You guys know Gretchen Whitmer.
		She is the governor of Michigan.
		She, during COVID, was one of the most draconian authoritarian governors in the entire country.
		I'd say, you know, Newsom obviously was the worst.
		You could probably put...
		Maybe you could put Cuomo at 2 for his portion of it.
		But you probably could make the argument that it was Whitmer right there.
		Whitmer, of course, who literally stopped people from making outdoor gardens and stopped seeds being sold in stores in Michigan.
		I literally, even in Cali, I went to Home Depot, I kid you not, some of you may remember this, and I bought a whole bunch of seeds and I mailed them to people in Michigan.
		That's how out of control this woman is.
		Of course, the same woman who also, during all the restaurant lockdowns, she got on a boat with a bunch of her friends for her husband's birthday and she clearly The Democrat governor,
		who clashed with Trump during his first term regarding...
		Her COVID-19 lockdown policies met with the president to discuss recovery from an ice storm that impacted thousands of Michiganders, funding for Selfridge Air National Guard based near Detroit, protections for the Great Lakes, and automobile industry.
		Whitmer, joined by Michigan State House Speaker Matt Hall and several cabinet secretaries, stood steps away from Trump while he signed executive orders on Wednesday.
		So yes, she did not want to stand right next to Donald Trump as he was signing the executive orders to help her, to help her state.
		Here's Trump welcoming Gretchen to the Oval Office.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		We're honored to have Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan, great state of Michigan, and she's really done an excellent job and a very good person.
		And we're working on the Selfridge, as you know, the airbase.
		We're trying to...
		Get the airbase open, keep it open.
		I think, Gretchen, you're there.
		And Matt Hall, the Speaker of the House of Michigan.
		And he's been fantastic as the Speaker.
		I appreciate it.
		We won the state, Matt.
unidentified		We did.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		You helped me a lot.
unidentified		I did, and you made me a speaker, so thank you, Mr. President.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		That's good, too.
		And Gretchen, I think everybody knows.
		So we're working on that very hard, and I think we'll come home with a winner for Michigan, okay?
		I just spoke with the Secretary of Defense.
		Sometimes we call it the Secretary of War.
		It used to be called the Secretary of War.
		They changed it when we became a little bit politically correct.
		But I think we're in great shape.
		We're going to be in great shape.
		So thank you very much for being here.
		Thank you very much, Matt.
		Congratulations. Great job.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Did you catch how great that was?
		So Matt Hall, who's the Republican Speaker in the Michigan Congress, Michigan State.
		He's basically, Trump's like, yeah, you did a great job.
		We won the state.
		And everyone knows Gretchen Whitmer, too.
		She would not even get near Trump.
		Then the New York Times tried to take a picture of her in the Oval Office.
		Look at this.
		Look at this.
		This is right.
		I mean, this is literally out of, like, Naked Gun.
		Look at this.
		Completely ridiculous.
		Who is that rock star right over there?
		That woman will kick the shit out of you and everyone you know.
		But Whitmer did not want her face to be seen.
		But they did manage to get a picture of Whitmer.
		Here she is.
		And my God, look at that woman.
		That is, I mean, Botox, whatever they're pumping chicks with these days, she's got it all.
		Joseph, who put together that earlier video game thing that none of us really understood, he did put this together.
		Look at Whitmer, and yes, there she is.
		Is that Gretchen Whitmer or Sleeping Beauty's Maleficent?
unidentified		Maleficent? Maleficent.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I told you, oh, I want only references from 1989.
		To 1992.
		That's it.
		Guys, let's talk about ground news for a minute.
		And then, oh, they tried to murder the governor of Pennsylvania.
		I started this show to cut through the noise and expose the truth.
		And now that Trump's back, the media's already twisting headlines to fit their agenda.
		That's why I've partnered with Ground News.
		Ground News isn't a publisher.
		It's an independent app and website that aggregates coverage from across the political spectrum.
		It shows you how different outlets are reporting the same story so you can see the spin and decide what's true for yourself.
		Their best feature?
		the Blind Spot feed, which is a curated list of stories that one side of the political spectrum is ignoring completely.
		It's a powerful way to spot bias and stay informed.
		Right now, you can use the same plan that I have for 40% off.
		Just go to ground.news.reuben or scan the QR code on the screen to get their unlimited access vantage plan.
		That's ground.news.reuben for 40% off.
		Supporting them also supports independent voices like mine.
		All right, so as you know, we just finished the two nights of Passover.
		This is the story, the ancient...
		Story of the exodus of the Hebrews, the Jews, from Egypt.
		And you're not going to believe where they walked to from Egypt.
		Forty years and where did they...
		Yeah, it was Israel.
		So when Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and everybody are wishing everybody a happy Passover, it's the place that you don't want the Jews to live in now.
		Well, anyway, on night one of Passover, when virtually every Jew on earth is celebrating the...
		Having the Seder and retelling the story that has been told for thousands and thousands of years.
		Governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, his house was basically burned down that night.
		He hosted a Passover Seder there and then was the victim of basically a firebombing.
		Listen to this from Colin Rugg.
		Cody Balmer, this is the guy who did it, has been charged with attempted murder after setting Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's house on fire as he and his family slept.
		Ballmer allegedly admitted to state troopers that he intended to beat the governor with his hammer.
		Newly revealed social media posts give a deeper insight into why Ballmer may have carried out the attack.
		Ballmer shared a variety of posts online, as reported by the New York Post, including left-wing, anti-capitalist posts.
		On Facebook, he attacked both President Trump and President Biden on his social media accounts and supported Kanye West for president.
		He also voiced his support of mask mandates during the pandemic and lashed out against toxic femininity.
		Every time I stop to get gas, I personally feel that we should have taken our chances with Kanye, he said in one post.
		Balmer's home was also subject to foreclosure and was set to be sold unless there were any delays by the sheriff's office.
		Okay, so it sounds like his politics.
		Or a little all over the place.
		There was a lot of, like, far lefty stuff, but he kind of liked Kanye.
		Who knows exactly?
		We've got a tweet here.
		Listen to the way ABC covered this.
		This is just wild.
		So you get, clearly this kid was, this young man or whatever you want to call him, was somewhere lefty but confused, right?
		Listen to what they wrote about him.
		A mechanic who had previously expressed disdain for Democrats was arrested in connection with a fire early Sunday at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence, his sources told ABC News.
		He expressed disdain for Democrats.
		The implication there being that he probably was a Republican.
		And there's no evidence he was a Republican whatsoever.
		There was evidence he didn't like Trump.
		There was evidence he liked Kanye.
		That doesn't make you a Republican.
		But most of the stuff that this guy was posting was far-left progressive nonsense.
		So that's just you guys.
		You know, we can always see through all of this stuff.
		Anyway, Josh Shapiro.
		Josh Shapiro, who, although I am obviously not a Democrat, and the Democrats have lost their mind, Josh Shapiro I would put in that tiny, tiny sliver of people who still consider themselves Democrats who are not completely insane.
		He's not great politically, he's not.
		He placates to the wokesters, Pennsylvania, and particularly Philadelphia, there's a huge crime problem there, et cetera, homelessness, drugs, all that stuff.
		So he's not great, but he is not an absolute progressive
		Also, as I referenced with Passover, he happens to be Jewish, which is basically why Kamala didn't choose him to be VP and took Tim Walls, who nobody likes, even though there's a couple, Tony, you wanna go to a Tim Walls show?
		But they could have chose this guy, but they didn't because he's Jewish, because they have a huge anti-Jew problem on the left, obviously.
	Anyway, here's Josh Shapiro after this happened.
unidentified		We don't know the person's specific motive yet, but we do know a few truths.
		First, this type of violence is not okay.
		This kind of violence is becoming far too common in our society.
		And I don't give a damn if it's coming from one particular side or the other.
		Directed at one particular party or another or one particular person or another.
		It is not okay.
		And it has to stop.
		We have to be better than this.
		We have a responsibility to all be better.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So I would add that it's probably particularly chilling that you're seeing some of the Passover stuff that they had on the table and everything else, like in light of some of the other things that are happening culturally at the moment, but even putting that aside, of course he's right.
		Of course he's right.
		But generally speaking, it's not the right that is doing these things.
		It's the left that has been attacking Tesla charger stations and etching swastikas into cars.
		BLM, that was a lefty movement.
		Antifa, it's a lefty movement.
		It's the progressives who every time, how many videos have I shown you where someone puts a microphone in Pelosi's face or AOC's face?
		Can you condemn the violence?
		Oh, I don't have time to talk right now or I can't hear the question or whatever else.
		Like people on the right do condemn.
		I condemn absolutely, without question, the violence against Tesla charger stations, which is domestic terrorism.
		Absolutely. It is violence for the...
		For political purposes, that is the definition of domestic terrorism.
		And without question, I condemn the violence.
		I mean, he and his family and guests could have died.
		That was a pretty significant fire that you saw right there.
		So this guy's gonna go to jail for a long, long time.
		I wonder, I don't know offhand, has Josh Shapiro condemned any of the violence over the last couple of weeks that we've seen at the Tesla stations?
		I don't know.
		I would hope he has.
		But yeah, violence, not good.
		Particularly violence for political purposes.
		It's domestic terrorism.
		Here's Trump on the attacker.
unidentified		Have you attributed a motive through the FBI investigation behind the attack on Governor Josh Shapiro over the weekend?
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		No, I haven't, but the attacker was not a fan of Trump, I understand, just from what I read and from what I've been told.
		The attacker basically wasn't a fan of anybody.
		He was probably just a whack job, and certainly a thing like that cannot be allowed to happen.
unidentified		It's okay.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, Trump's right.
		The guy probably was just a whack job.
		You know, one of the things that happens is when these things happen, people read their manifestos or they look into their social media posts or whatever, and they think you can, like, fully glean exactly what their ideology was or how they got there.
		Now, I just referenced, he had a couple lefty points up he hated.
		He seemed to have hated Trump and hated Biden.
		He kind of liked Kamala.
		He kind of liked Kanye.
		It's hard to understand what that is, but even just going into their previous posts or even the manifestos, Like, that doesn't mean that you're getting the honest assessment of what they really thought.
		These people know that if you're going to do something horrible and get caught, or if you're going to shoot up a school and know that you're not going to walk out of that school, you could write a manifesto that would be completely confusing to what the actual truth was.
		So people have to think about these things.
		I think Trump's, like, innate understanding of how people, like, this guy was a whack job.
		Yeah, we probably don't have to know much more about that.
		But as we get more and more political violence, one of the things that The media will always try to do.
		They will always try to do it.
		We just read you that ABC headline.
		They will always obfuscate it if it seems to come from the left, and they will always elevate it if it seems to come from the right.
		CNN, in the midst of what's happened to Josh Shapiro here, they're pushing out a new documentary about the radical right by a guy.
		Here's their correspondent, Donnie O'Sullivan, talking about that.
unidentified		I always get to hang out with some of the nicest people, as you know, Jess.
		This special is coming on the 30-year anniversary this month of the Oklahoma City bombing, of course, which was by Timothy McVeigh, who bombed the federal building in Oklahoma back in 1995.
		And really what we're looking at is how over the past 30 years through how the...
		Revolution in technology and social media, and also how we consume and share information, how really much more easier it is to be radicalized in America today than it was 30 years ago.
		I guess what we're looking at here is, obviously, when it comes to extremism in this country, the issue very much so is on the right, on the far right, from Charlottesville to January 6th.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, there isn't an equivalent on the left?
		The extremism is coming from the far right, January 6th.
		Did you see a couple years ago when Antifa and BLM occupied and tried to burn down the federal courthouse in Portland?
		Or Connor over here used to live in Seattle, and he lived about a block outside of a place called CHOP.
		And that's when a group of radical leftist lunatics literally created their own city within a city.
		There was at least one murder there.
		And if I remember correctly, your Chipotle was inside of CHOP, and you had to stop going there.
		That would be lefty violence.
		It's strange you're not doing a documentary on that, but you're really focused on Charlottesville and January 6th.
		Or, I don't know, Donnie O'Sullivan, maybe you want to look at, say, what happened last week when they were burning down Tesla charger stations.
		Would that be interesting to you?
		Oh, right, I forgot you're doing this on CNN.
		They really love America.
		Thanks for playing.
		If you want to see just more of just the general state, Not only that we're sort of getting more okay.
		It's like, oh, the Pennsylvania governor's house burned down.
		Maybe his family could have been killed.
		Okay, let's move on.
		Or, you know, I think it was on New Year's Day, if I'm not mistaken, that in New Orleans there was an Islamist terror attack that killed 12 or 14 people.
		And we just kind of move on and we don't talk about these things.
		Well, the other insane story from the last two weeks is that there was this incredible young man who was a huge football star, twin brother.
		His name is Austin Metcalf.
		And in Frisco, Texas, you already know the story.
		He asked a young man by the name of Carmelo Anthony to move.
		He was sitting in the wrong area.
		You know, they put people in different areas when you go to a game, sitting in the wrong area.
		And this other young man, Carmelo Anthony, literally stabbed him in the heart with a knife and he died in his twin brother's arm.
		Well, now, Carmelo Anthony.
		The perpetrator of this who killed a young man who just asked, even if he had no right to ask him, even if he had no right to tap him on the shoulder or whatever, you cannot just murder someone in cold blood just like that.
		Well, somehow the judge is now reducing Carmelo Anthony's bond from a million to 250K.
		Take a look.
unidentified		Handcuffed, wearing a yellow inmate jumpsuit, he spoke only to identify himself to the judge and stared straight forward while his father, Andrew Anthony, testified about how his son is the oldest of four siblings, a straight-A student, active in his church,
		and worked two jobs while serving as captain of the football and track team.
		To this point, he's not had any criminal history.
		All factors his defense...
		When asking the judge to lower the bond, the amount they were asking for was $150,000.
		The prosecution, though, argued the bond should have stayed at a million, even asking Andrew Anthony about the online fundraiser that's raised $412,000 for his son's defense.
		Ultimately, though, the judge said the purpose of bond is not a punishment, but to ensure the defendant returns for his court dates and to protect the community.
		If Anthony does post the $250,000 bond, he will be on house arrest, confined to his home with a leg monitor, and cannot leave unless the court grants permission.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so look, as per what the judge is going to do with the bond, apparently it's now at $2.50.
		We'll see if they use that give-send-go money to let him out.
		I guess they will.
		It doesn't matter if he's the oldest of four.
		It doesn't matter if he had straight A's.
		It doesn't matter if he did all sorts of good things and volunteered at the church and everything else.
		For some reason, he went to a football game with a knife.
		Was then tapped on the shoulder and asked to move, and he chose to stab a young man in the heart and kill him.
		And somehow this kid, kind of like what happened with Luigi Mangione, who shot CEO of UnitedHealthcare in Midtown Manhattan at about 9 p.m. and murdered him in cold blood, somehow he's kind of becoming a hero to the left.
		First, let's just show you some video of him, of Carmelo Anthony walking out of court.
unidentified		Do you have anything that you'd like to say, Carmelo?
		Do you have anything that you'd like to say to the victim, to the family of the victim?
		Why were you armed?
		Carmelo, why were you armed at school?
		Explain yourself to them.
		How is this supposed to be?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, so obviously he's not going to answer any of those questions, his lawyers, and that's a wise thing to do when you're in a case like this.
		You're not going to just suddenly turn to the reporter and say why you had the knife or why you did it or anything else.
		But the real issue here is that this is the type of case that is so clean-cut, so obvious.
		If we can't, as a country, basically all be on the side.
		I don't know what you do with this kid.
		I don't know what the right thing in terms of a punishment for this kid.
		Do you put him in jail for life?
		I'm sure some people would want the death penalty.
		I don't know exactly what you do.
		But the idea that you would look at him as the good guy in this case, simply because he's black and the victim was white, where you'd be doing the reverse the other way.
		Like, I would have the same exact feelings if it was the other way around, right?
		But so many people, and this is what wokeness has done.
		Wokeness has broken people's brains to the point that they believe that skin color is more important than action, right?
		Your immutable characteristics are more important than how you behave.
		That they suddenly are trying to turn this kid into a hero.
		So here is a guy that goes by the name Minister Dominique Alexander.
		Apparently he's a social justice minister.
		Whatever the high hell that means.
		I don't know where you get training for that.
		And look what he put up on Twitter with a picture of Carmelo Anthony.
		Carmelo Anthony is safe at home.
		This moment is a reminder that a community united can never be divided.
		The journey ahead is long, but today we celebrate a victory for justice, for family, and for the power of people coming together to protect our youth.
		Thank you to everyone who stood with us.
		The fight continues, but tonight Carmelo is home.
		Connor, just leave that up for a second.
		Really, look at the images and listen to those words.
		We celebrate a victory for justice because the kid who murdered somebody two weeks ago by stabbing him in the heart, the twin who died in the arms of his twin brother is now dead.
		The victory for justice that this guy is not in jail right now and the power of people coming together to protect our youth.
		What about protecting the youth who is dead?
		But again, social justice destroys Everything.
		If this thing was going the reverse way, then I'm pretty sure that social justice minister Dominique over there would be saying that America is systemically racist, we gotta burn the place down, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
		You get it.
		There's also another wacky thing as it relates to our young people happening.
		Listen to this from Charlie Kirk.
		A Wisconsin teen linked to a satanic cult has allegedly killed his parents to obtain the financial means to assassinate Trump.
		This comes days after the FBI arrested 32-year-old Butler, Pennsylvania man, who went by Mr. Satan on YouTube.
		Here's a bit of a news report on this young man, Nikita Kasup.
unidentified		Facing charges for killing his mother and stepfather.
		17-year-old Nikita Kassip from Waukesha became the subject of an extensive FBI search warrant.
		Investigators discovered the teen's self-described manifesto that included making bombs, terrorist attacks, and plans for the assassination of President Donald Trump.
		Just mind-blowing.
		While investigating Kassip and the killings of Tatiana Kassip and Donald Mayer, authorities found material linking the teen to the Order of the Nine Angels, a network of neo-Nazis which advocates for violence and the destruction of modern civilizations.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so I know we're going a little dark suddenly here.
		We'll finish up in a more positive way, I promise.
		But whether it's some person, and again, we don't know everything about him, that tries to burn down the governor's house with the governor and his family there, literally could have killed about a dozen people.
		Whether it's this Carmelo Anthony kid who's now being praised when he murdered somebody in cold blood, or this other kid who apparently is in some strange satanic cult trying to kill Donald Trump.
		Like, we do have some sort of problem on our hands.
		We really do.
		We have a mental health crisis that's being exacerbated by social media.
		It's probably being exacerbated by a media that's lied to us about everything.
		Young people who were trapped in their houses and forced to be injected with things and lost a certain percentage of their youth.
		And we better just start thinking about it.
		We better start thinking about what we're going to do about it because if that scales, we're in an awful lot of trouble.
		Now, where does it scale from?
		I think the answer is fairly obvious.
		It scales mostly from our places of higher education that have largely become indoctrination centers instead of places to teach young people how to think.
		They teach them what to think.
		And this has been a huge problem.
		Harvard is at the center of that.
		Check this out from Florida Voice News.
		Trump administration freezes $2.2 billion in funding to Harvard after they refused to crack down on unruly protests and work to disband DEI department.
		The AP.
		So you've seen all of the protests at Harvard and not letting, you know, it hasn't been quite as absolutely insane as Columbia, but they stop kids from going to school, they take over buildings, they threaten people, just a series of things on top of the fact.
		That really what this is about, this is barely about this decision by Trump.
		This is barely about the protests.
		It's mostly about the fact that Trump went in and immediately signed an executive action saying DEI is out.
		You will not get federal funds at a state or at a college or anywhere else if you're into DEI.
		Harvard has been ground zero for DEI.
		30, 40 years ago, they used to discriminate against Jews.
		Then they moved on from Jews.
		We know they've been discriminating against Asians.
		So then what you do is you get lesser qualified people.
		In this case, they happen to be black.
		They get into Harvard.
		You punish well-qualified Asian kids.
		They go elsewhere and probably become a little racist because they worked hard, didn't do anything wrong, and now they're kind of a little racist against the kid who got in with nothing.
		And then the kid who got in with nothing isn't prepared even to be at that school in the first place.
		Well, as this is happening, as Harvard, which has like a $50 billion endowment, As it's getting smacked down by the administration, this is from the New York Post, Harvard President Alan Garber on the decision to reject the Trump administration's demands.
		No government, regardless of which party is in power, should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and in which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.
		That's so interesting.
		So Harvard is full-on admitting that they discriminate.
		They are allowed to discriminate on people's skin color, religion, sexuality, gender, that that's what they've been doing, and they really want to continue to do it.
		I'm for colleges teaching whatever the high hell they want to teach, and you've got to decide if you want to go there or if you want to send your kids there.
		But that doesn't mean the government has to help subsidize it when you're teaching them that, you know, discrimination, reverse discrimination, whatever the high hell you want to call it, DEI, all these things, America's evil.
		It doesn't mean the government has to fund it.
		Now, Barack Obama, who has been probably the main mover of all of this, he tweeted this in support of Harvard.
		Just absolutely wild.
		Harvard has set an example to stifle academic freedom while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate,
		and mutual respect.
		Let's hope other institutions follow suit.
		So let's be very, very clear.
		That's something that Obama says.
		Let's be very clear about this.
		Barack Obama is a racist, not a reverse racist or anything else.
		Barack Obama is 100% fine with places discriminating based on the color of their skin.
		So if you are white or you are Asian or you are...
		You are Jewish.
		Barack Obama wants the system to discriminate against you because that's exactly what Harvard was doing and he is all for it.
		Conor, do we have a video that might illustrate that when you go down this road of DEI, of wokeness and everything else...
		That you will not bring in the best of the best because choosing people based on whether they like their genitals or not is not necessarily the best way to bring in the best academic students.
		We have such a video.
		Can you play it whenever you're ready?
unidentified		music
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So, like, what the hell is that?
		Like, what are they doing?
		What have they learned?
		They're raising a flag for a place that would gladly behead half of them, that would never let them have their genderqueer parties and the rest of the nonsense.
		And congratulations, parents who sent your kids to Harvard.
		you spent a minimum of 60 grand a year just on admission.
		So figure you're throwing 80 grand a year at that place and they came out stupider than when you sent them in.
		So bravo all around.
		Aaron Sbarium, who's an actual journalist from the Free Beacon, he's been on the show once or twice.
		He wrote this, I thought it was quite good.
		Harvard says it is illegitimate for the state to dictate whom universities can admit and hire.
		I expected them to feign friendliness to conservatives in the face of Trump, but they've gone full Barry Goldberg
		So, the Civil Rights Act...
		Early 1960s, I always forget, is it 63 or 64?
		Civil Rights Act said that you cannot, if you're getting federal funding for anything, and actually I think it pertained to private organizations as well, you can't discriminate based on skin color, right?
		This was, and I'm pretty sure it was private organizations as well, because like a restaurant can't deny service based on your skin color.
		Now you could argue, you could, and this is what Sabarian's point is, you can make the most libertarian argument on this, that a restaurant should be allowed to open, And say, no blacks, no Jews, no Asians, no gays.
		You can make that argument.
		Now, the Civil Rights Act stopped that.
		But the argument would be, hey, it's my restaurant and I can let whoever I want in.
		Now, in the freest, most libertarian sense, I think there's actually something like ideologically sound there.
		Because if that's what you want, well, then people will either boycott you or ignore you.
		Most people don't go into business.
		I'm going to open an ice cream shop and I'm only going to sell ice cream to white people.
		It's just not something that people really do, right?
		But you could probably make the most libertarian argument ever.
		But is that the argument that Barack Obama is making?
		Is Barack Obama making the maximalist libertarian argument?
		That let anyone do whatever, and if discrimination is part of it, then so be it.
		Of course that's not what he's doing, right?
		These are the very same people who, when that baker did not want to bake a custom cake for the gay couple, they were all freaking out.
		The couple could have walked into the bakery and bought any cake that was on the shelf.
		They were trying to force him.
		To make a custom cake for them.
		And we were told he was somehow racist and a homophobe and all of those other things.
		But now somehow that is all good.
		These people are ridiculous.
		This is a bit of a jump, but they sent a couple women into space for a few minutes the other day.
		Or yesterday, actually.
		They sent Katy Perry.
		They sent Gayle King, Lauren Sanchez, Amanda Naguyan, Aisha Bowe, and Kieran Flynn into space.
		So chicks in space.
		Here's a video.
unidentified		Got it?
		One, two, three.
		Taking up space!
		Tamir, Tamir's in space.
		And you will see a puff of smoke when it touches down.
		A puff of dust.
		That's normal.
		A puff of dust, last milliseconds.
		Air cushion that will kick up the dust.
		It's a very soft, soft landing despite the sporty perception.
		There it is.
		There it is.
		Thank you.
		Thank you.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, so I know you're watching that going, all right, that's kind of cool.
		We sent a bunch of chicks to space.
		But what was the segue there, Dave?
		Well, of course, there had to be a social justice element to it.
		Now, first off, they went up.
		It was an 11-minute ride.
		They were up there for four minutes.
		It's pretty cool.
		Like, I would love to do it.
		And I can't even get on a roller coaster.
		Like, I will puke my brains out.
		I have puked virtually every time I have been on any roller coaster in the history of my...
		I think I puked a couple years ago.
		We took my nephew to Universal.
		Puked after the Back to the Future ride.
		Like, pathetic.
		Pathetic. Although I think it was some bad chicken fingers.
		But anyway, okay, so they send them up there for a minute.
		It's actually kind of cool, right?
		Like, I love all of this, the idea that we're going to go interplanetary and everything, even though they usually hate the guy that's taking us there.
		But yes, of course, it turned into a woke race-based drivel.
		Here's Dr. Mae Jameson.
		She was the first ever woman of color in space, which is, like, you think that aliens are like, You know, should we go talk?
		Ah, it's a black chick.
		Forget it.
		Like, anyway, here she is on CBS Morning and watch.
		It's not just about color of skin.
		It's also about gender, of course.
unidentified		Watch. The Earth will be here.
		Oh. But we might not.
		See, there's a difference.
		Because of how we're treating it.
		Right. Yeah, because, well, it doesn't, no longer has an atmosphere.
		That supports our life form.
		So I think that perspective was really important, too, because we get so human centric that we forget that we're part of this greater universe.
		So one of the things we talked about yesterday when we were preparing to speak with you live on the air is the importance of space travel and the importance of the work that astronauts do when they are in space.
		You heard Amanda Wynn tell me in the interview that she's conducting science experiments on this voyage, which I don't think a lot of people knew.
		They thought it was just six.
		Just six women going up into space for a joyride.
		Wait, what do you mean just six women?
		Well, that's what I mean.
		That was the criticism.
		Just six women.
		That's right.
		Right. But he's speaking to the perspective and some of the narratives that are out there that I was hoping to correct with this interview.
		And I'm glad that you're here to help me correct that narrative.
		So explain to our audience why even a trip like this one, all the trips that we take in this space benefit mankind.
		Uh, so it benefits humankind, and I'm gonna keep correcting the mankind and the man...
		We should have some kind of, like, where I just, like, glitch out.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yes. Okay, lady.
		It's humankind, not mankind.
		That's what he meant.
		That's really what he meant.
unidentified		Men should be in space alone!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Like, it's just so ridiculous.
		So, okay, congratulations.
		A bunch of chicks went into space.
		That's great!
		I don't think any, as far as I know, none of them, like, knew exactly what they were doing.
		Other people, I don't think Katy Perry is like, let's go to space.
		Like, they put some makeup on them.
		Throw the picture again.
		Like, what do you think they spent more time doing?
		Do you think it was their hair?
		Do we have the picture?
		We can get it in a second.
		Oh, that's her.
		But if we can get the picture of the six ladies again for a second.
		Like, what do you think they spent more time doing?
		Preparing to go to space or doing their hair and makeup?
		I think it's fairly obvious.
		But I don't care.
		That's great.
		Six chicks went to space.
		I wouldn't care if six chicks went to space.
		I wouldn't care if six dudes went to space.
		Four dudes, two chicks, two chicks, two girls, one cup.
		It doesn't matter.
		Just send them up there and see what happens.
		Can you imagine if they did that in space?
		That would be weird.
		Anyway, and then mankind.
		Like, just stop with all of this stuff.
		And also, all of you.
		She said, the woman says, The Earth does not have an atmosphere that supports our life form.
		I don't even know what that means.
		We're here on Earth right now.
		Is the atmosphere okay?
		I was outside earlier.
		It's a beautiful day.
		They want to make you afraid of everything.
		Then they want to throw social justice into space.
		Listen, this is directly for Elon.
		Elon, build the rockets.
		And just don't bring any of them.
		Let's just start another society.
		Just get us to another planet.
		Get the 3D printer there so then we can start printing other rockets.
		And we'll keep going.
		Let them have the Earth that doesn't support life, apparently.
		Let them have mankind, womankind, genderless weirdos, etc., etc.
		Anyway, to bring this all home...
		The point is that logic and reason and tolerance, in the best sense of tolerance, are kind of all on our side right now.
		And there are crazy people that are burning down governors' mansions and they're trying to kill Trump and that are stabbing young men in the heart and that are obsessed with the genitals of who goes to space.
		Like, you guys can have all of that and we're just going to have everybody else.
		And the numbers are bearing this out.
		Here's this guy, Harry Anton, who's always standing in front of the big screen at CNN explaining that nobody likes the Democrats anymore.
harry enten ▲ ● ▼		This, to me, is one of the most shocking pieces of poll data that I truly, truthfully have seen this year, or maybe in any prior year.
		Really? Yes, really, because I want you to take a look.
		Cares more about the needs for people like you.
		You mentioned to Kate Paul, we got a tie, even after this tariff war had already started, split between Democrats and Republicans on how people feel.
		Which party cares more for needs of people like you?
		And why is that so surprising?
		Because I want you to take a look at prior years.
		Democrats always lead on this question.
		Back in 2017, before the 2018 midterms, 13-point lead.
		2005, a 23-point lead for Democrats.
		1994, which was a big Republican year, a 19-point lead for Democrats.
		And now all of a sudden, a tie?
		All of a sudden...
		The Democrats, who are the party of the people, no more, no more.
		We get a tie on this question, on a question that has traditionally overwhelmingly been a Democratic advantage.
		People for party, which party cares more for the needs of people like you?
		It's truly something I would not have expected to see, especially after this tariff war had begun.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You get it.
		Democrats suck.
		They're not in the good way.
		Nobody likes them.
		Nobody wants their help.
		They are going down this road.
		Lying about literally everything, instigating their base, confusing people about the history of our country, all of it.
		And to connect this to yesterday's show.
		So what you idiots have done is you've taken a guy like Bill Maher, who has spent the last decade of his life ranting and raving about Donald Trump, and now you basically have pushed him into MAGA.
		So good luck.
		We will end with this because I thought this was quite good.
		Trump put this up on Truth Social yesterday.
		I just thought it was kind of interesting.
		The best definition of intelligence is the ability to predict the future.
		Well, if that's the case, if that's the case, here's the future that I see.
		The future that I see is a future where America will get to this golden age.
		We are in a tense position right now.
		We are trying to get out of our old institutions and media and systems that have corrupted us, that have lied to us and all of those things.
		We are trying to build a future that will be in some sense more digital
		We're going to be in a future that will be more transparent because we won't look at the systems.
		That have been so rotted out and think, oh my God, help me, system.
		Help me.
		Help me.
		I just want a little more from you.
		If I just give you a little more of my liberty, will you give me some more crumbs?
		And enough of us are waking up to it.
		So the future is looking bright, but you have to fight to make that right.
		If you want a future that has less taxes, you should defund the IRS.
		You can get the official Rubin Report.
		It's got our logo on the back.
		Defund the IRS t-shirt right now.
		DaveRubin.com.
		Store, post-game show in moments, reubenreport.locals.com.
		And I'm on Rob Schmidt on News Mac, I think at two o'clock, and I'll be on Will Kane over on Fox at four o'clock.
		All right, ciao.
unidentified		I died.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I want to die.
unidentified		I'm a man.
unidentified		You're a man.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Look, you're too many people.
unidentified		My father.
		I'm a man.
		I'm not going to die yet, right?
		America! Banzai!
		Fight off.
		Fire, never.
		I'm here.
		I'm here.
		Fight! Fight!
		I'm not going to go to the world anymore.
		But I'm not going to go to the world yet.
		Please go to the world again.
		I'm going to go to the world.
		I'm going to go to the world.
