What is up, people? | |
I'm Dave Rubin. | ||
This is The Rubin Report. | ||
It is May 19th, 2025. | ||
We are live streaming on Rumble, on YouTube, on Locals. | ||
As always, post-game show, rubinreport.locals.com, 30 seconds after the show. | ||
unidentified
|
And I would say today... | |
We have a stacked program. | ||
There is a lot going on in the world. | ||
I have a feeling you know where we're going to be starting today's program with. | ||
There's a lot going on here business-wise. | ||
We're going to have a couple announcements for you later in the week. | ||
But it's a dense one for you today. | ||
And I thought we would start today a little differently. | ||
Than we normally start shows, because we are going to start with a quote. | ||
This is a quote that I often use on the program from Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who, of course, was a Soviet political prisoner from about 100 years ago. | ||
Let's throw it up right now. | ||
You've heard this many, many times. | ||
We know they are lying. | ||
They know they are lying. | ||
They know that we know they are lying. | ||
We know that they know that we know they are lying. | ||
And still, they continue to lie. | ||
I think you know what this is all about. | ||
We have been hit, ladies and gentlemen, with lie after lie after lie for about a decade now. | ||
Now, maybe it's much longer than that, and maybe the media has lied to us about much bigger things for a way longer period of time. | ||
But what we have been confronted with, let's just say for the last, I forget the decade even, let's just say five years from sort of Biden Entering the White House through COVID to now. | ||
Biden's mental acuity. | ||
Donald Trump's a Russian asset. | ||
The Covington kids are racist. | ||
Very fine people on both sides. | ||
Jesse Smollett. | ||
I mean, I do this laundry list with you all the time. | ||
We have been hit with so many lies for so long. | ||
And finally, it seems to me we might be in the final stages of the lie. | ||
Now, I always give the machine credit. | ||
It has a way of recalibrating. | ||
And rejiggering itself so it somehow always stays ahead of us in some sense. | ||
But something at the moment, now as it relates to Joe Biden's health, I think is such a perfect example of that they have been lying, we have known they've been lying, they knew, we knew, and they continued. | ||
It's such a perfect example that I think things may change a little bit. | ||
So let's just dive in right now, because the big news, obviously, over the weekend is that it turns out that former President Joe Biden has prostate cancer and not... | ||
Not just has prostate cancer, but has an extremely aggressive form of prostate cancer. | ||
So first, let's start with the statement from the office of Joe Biden. | ||
Statement from the personal office of former President Joe Biden. | ||
Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. | ||
On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of nine, grade group five, with metastasis to the bone. | ||
While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone sensitive, which allows for effective management. | ||
The president and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians. | ||
Connor, before I continue, can you just put up the tweet that I put out this morning? | ||
We were going to put it a little later in the show, but I think this will kind of get it right. | ||
So I wrote this morning on Twitter, and it kind of caught fire. | ||
You can have sympathy for Joe Biden, the human being. | ||
You should not have sympathy for Joe Biden, the politician, nor any of the people who participated in the lies. | ||
And then I put that quote by Solzhenitsyn again. | ||
Let me read it to you one more time. | ||
I promise I'll only do it two times on the show. | ||
We know they are lying. | ||
They know they are lying. | ||
They know that we know they are lying. | ||
We know that they know that we know they are lying, and they still continue to lie. | ||
So look, I want to do this as cleanly as possible. | ||
Dave Rubin, the man you're watching right now, I have great sympathy for the human being Joe Biden. | ||
I don't know that anyone's been more critical of Joe Biden. | ||
I think his entire presidency has been, was a sham. | ||
I think that it was so connected to all of the lies related to all of the things that we have seen just really rot away our society. | ||
I think that... | ||
Jill Biden has a really horrible place waiting for her one day and her part in all of this and so many other people. | ||
But that a human being has a disease that has now metastasized and might end him at his advanced age, I have sympathy for the human being, Joe Biden. | ||
But I don't really have sympathy for the people that have been around him that pushed this in our face, that did so much destruction. | ||
And I think it's important to make that distinction, right? | ||
Like, you don't want to be so cold-hearted and you don't want to be so obsessed with politics, even when there are bad politicians doing bad things, that you don't have, like, a little bit of sympathy in your heart for somebody that's ill. | ||
That would be my position on this. | ||
Now let's get into a bit more on the specifics. | ||
This is an image of the Gleason chart. | ||
That shows you what you're seeing there is that what they said is that his Gleason score of prostate cancer is a 9 right now. | ||
That's grade group 5, so that's the reddest. | ||
That means it's highly aggressive, it's rapidly growing, and it's high risk. | ||
It also has now connected and spread to his bones. | ||
So let's get a little bit more. | ||
I'm obviously not an expert in prostate cancer, and we can bring some doctors on maybe over the next couple weeks to discuss this stuff, although you'll be hearing plenty about it from other places. | ||
This is Dr. Steve. | ||
Steven Quay, who's the CEO of Atosa Therapeutics. | ||
He wrote, prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and watch it to progress to bone metastases. | ||
The PSA blood test shows the rate of cancer cell growth, for even with the most aggressive form, it is a five to seven year journey without treatment before it becomes metatastic. | ||
Meaning it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and be first diagnosed with metatastic disease in May 2025. | ||
It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed. | ||
Okay, so that's the part that I want to focus on. | ||
And again, let's just put a little pin in the sympathy part, right? | ||
I have sympathy for the man, Joe Biden, that is going through this, separate from the political part. | ||
The story here, the story that scales throughout the world, is how was this hidden? | ||
What that doctor is saying, and I spoke to two doctors over the weekend, including a very good friend of mine who's a doctor who knows a lot about this. | ||
I also know several people that have survived prostate cancer. | ||
It is one of the most ubiquitous cancers there is, right? | ||
Like you hear about people, if they catch it early, you're going to be okay. | ||
unidentified
|
Somehow... | |
We're being told that nobody knew about this until now when he's got this Gleason score 9, late stage version of this. | ||
Except the President of the United States, especially at his advanced age and with the other stuff that we know is going on, even though they were lying to us about that, the idea that he wasn't being checked at least once a year for this type of thing is completely crazy. | ||
So have we now uncovered a new layer of the... | ||
You know, quote-unquote conspiracy theory, that there was all this cognitive stuff going on that they told us we weren't seeing what we were seeing. | ||
And then on top of it... | ||
Were they also covering up the fact that he had cancer? | ||
Now, having early-stage prostate cancer wouldn't preclude him from doing his duties as President of the United States, but hiding that from the American people seems like a bit of a problem. | ||
Benny Johnson had an interesting tweet on this. | ||
He wrote, This is the most dangerous cover-up in the history of the presidency. | ||
Last summer, White House physician Dr. Kevin O 'Connor swore... | ||
To the American people that Joe Biden was completely fit for the presidency. | ||
No issues, nothing to see. | ||
Now we learn Biden has advanced prostate cancer. | ||
But wait! | ||
Advanced prostate cancer takes 10 plus years to develop to the stage where Biden's diagnosis is. | ||
Prostate cancer is also easy to find. | ||
Simple blood tits. | ||
Blood test or prostate exam will give you near 100% accurate results. | ||
You're telling me that the best doctors and testing on Earth did not find Biden's cancer in all these years of testing? | ||
Was every medical report alive for how long? | ||
BS. | ||
This is the worst cover-up in the history of the presidency. | ||
Absolute scandal. | ||
They knew, they lied, they hid it. | ||
For power. | ||
People need to be held to account for this. | ||
Evil. | ||
All right, so that's Manny's opinion on it, but you get the point. | ||
There is simply no way, unless his doctor is going to come out and say, boy, you know, I've been completely negligent here. | ||
I had this 80-year-old guy, and actually I wasn't doing the right tests on him, and we weren't checking on this. | ||
And it's all on me, the fact that a very easy cancer to detect... | ||
And deal with at the early stages. | ||
I mean, that's what everyone says about prostate cancer. | ||
We've probably, all of you watching this, if you're over a certain age, you've met someone that had prostate cancer and it's the one where you go, oh, but don't worry, they caught it early. | ||
And then you can deal with it quite easily, right? | ||
So the idea that somehow this, they had no idea about this. | ||
Seems pretty crazy. | ||
Now I want to show you a video that we've shown you a couple times before. | ||
And this is in 2022, Joe Biden saying that he had cancer. | ||
And the strange part about this video is that when he said this, everyone on mainstream media and on this show, too, I mean, when I was joking about it, we were all like, oh, it's not that he has cancer. | ||
It's just that he has dementia. | ||
So he made a mistake and accidentally said he has cancer. | ||
But watch this. | ||
And because it was a four-lane highway that was accessible, my mother drove us, and rather than us be able to walk. | ||
And guess what? | ||
The first frost, you know what was happening. | ||
You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. | ||
That's why I and so damn many other people I grew up have cancer, and why can't for the longest time Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation. | ||
There's the president of the United States three years ago saying, I have cancer. | ||
That's why I have cancer. | ||
That's what he said. | ||
Now, it's impossible to know what was going through his mind, and that's why the Solzhenitsyn quote is so important. | ||
There's been so much lying about what's going on with this man for so long that we don't know. | ||
I remember when we played you that video in 2022. | ||
Someone can find it. | ||
I know you internet sleuths out there can find that video. | ||
And what I said was, I don't know, because he has dementia. | ||
So it's impossible to know whether what he said is actually true or not. | ||
So either he told you the truth right there accidentally, in which case there absolutely was a cover-up, or, I mean, we only got two rows here. | ||
Look, I did two arrows on the paper. | ||
That'll illustrate it pretty quickly for you. | ||
Or he had dementia and didn't even know what he was saying. | ||
Either way, it's a problem. | ||
But the grander problem, and that's what we're going to focus on for the next segment, The grander problem is not Joe Biden, and it's not Joe Biden's health. | ||
It is all of the people that took advantage of the situation. | ||
It's all of the people who were in the White House who then... | ||
Had him, I don't know, using an auto pen to sign things that he probably didn't know he was signing. | ||
It's all of the people in the media that wanted a Democrat to remain president so they could keep evil, scary Donald Trump and the Republicans away from the Oval Office. | ||
So they lied and lied and lied. | ||
All of the celebrities who told us not to see what we saw right in front of our face. | ||
And again, to that quote. | ||
They all knew that we knew, and they kept doing it. | ||
So at some point, it seems to me right now that there might be enough awake, not woke, awake people who are sane and clear and cogent, who have had enough of this nonsense to say, this one is enough now. | ||
You lied about his mental acuity. | ||
Now you clearly... | ||
Clearly also lied about cancer unless either Joe Biden lied in 22 because of his dementia or his doctor is a complete and utter fraud who did not catch this. | ||
Like, that guy should probably lose his medical license. | ||
But there's enough in the bucket right now to say we gotta move on past this. | ||
But the thing is, we can't move on past this until there's mea culpas all over the place. | ||
All of the people who have participated in this. | ||
Must apologize or resign or move to a cave or disappear from public life one way or another because you were all part of it. | ||
And if we all let you be part of whatever comes after this, we know you will do it again. | ||
And we have a lot of video evidence of that, which we'll get to in just a second. | ||
But first, PDS debt. | ||
Feeling buried under credit card bills, personal loans, or medical debt? | ||
It's like your money is working harder for your lenders than it is for you. | ||
But it doesn't have to be that way. | ||
That's where PDS Debt comes in. | ||
PDS Debt does more than help you manage debt. | ||
They help you take control of it. | ||
They look at your unique situation and create a personalized plan that fits your life. | ||
No cookie cutter solutions, just real strategies to help you save more, pay off your debt faster, and finally start building more. | ||
There's no minimum credit score, just support that's actually tailored to you. | ||
Getting started is simple. | ||
Just go to pdsdebt.com slash Rubin for a free debt assessment. | ||
It only takes 30 seconds. | ||
Go to pdsdebt.com slash Rubin right now. | ||
Okay, so to catch us up on where we are at, we have known for years that there was something wrong with Biden cognitively. | ||
And if you didn't know it for years, or if you didn't have an inkling of it until that, I think it was June 27th debate where he completely broke down and then the airlock sort of failed, there was like... | ||
All of the lies and the lies and lies. | ||
But there was this media airlock that wouldn't let it get through, right? | ||
They were all being stopped by the airlock. | ||
But that night was so obvious, the airlock opened up. | ||
Mainstream media is able to talk about all the things that we've been talking about for years. | ||
Next thing you know, Biden's out. | ||
They install Kamala Fine. | ||
Okay. | ||
So we've had a massive, massive scandal around that, where the very people who are running cover for it, say a Jen Psaki as White House spokesperson, then gets a TV show as a quote-unquote journalist on MSNBC, right? | ||
So there's... | ||
All of these problems there as it relates to that. | ||
But now we have this compounding problem, which is this cancer diagnosis, which again is very advanced. | ||
That's the key part here. | ||
If they just announced yesterday, if they put out the statement that he has early stage... | ||
Prostate cancer. | ||
We just found it. | ||
It's Gleason score one or whatever it is. | ||
Then everyone, I think everybody right now would be like, well, you know, we knew that there was a lot going on with him and now he has this too. | ||
Like there would be a sympathy thing. | ||
But I think because of the lies that they've put on us via this man for so long, it's hard to even know how much culpability he has in all of this. | ||
Because of all of that, the sympathy factor is low. | ||
Now, again, I have sympathy for the human, not for the political machine and all of the things around it that he's become. | ||
So let's just do a couple of compilations here. | ||
This is a compilation, about 60 seconds. | ||
I know you like these things, and it's kind of low-hanging fruit at this point with all of the lies that these people have pushed on us. | ||
But here is just a compilation of mainstream media lying about Joe Biden's health. | ||
Does the president have the stamina, physically and mentally, do you think, to continue on even after 2024? | ||
unidentified
|
Don, you're asking me this question. | |
Oh my gosh, he's the president of the United States. | ||
unidentified
|
You know, he, I can't even keep up with him. | |
The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden is preparing for it because he is sharp. | ||
unidentified
|
Intensely probing and detail-oriented and focused. | |
I can testify because I've been working very closely with this president for the past two years. | ||
I've been knowing him for 30 years. | ||
And I'm telling you, this guy's tough. | ||
He's smart. | ||
unidentified
|
He's on his game. | |
Joe Biden has vision. | ||
He has knowledge. | ||
He has a strategic thinker. | ||
The president is focused. | ||
He's detail-oriented. | ||
He's always thinking about the big picture. | ||
unidentified
|
He's engaging. | |
He is capable. | ||
He has an incredible record as president. | ||
unidentified
|
And I'm often with him on foreign trips. | |
He's at the top of his game. | ||
So he has a vision. | ||
He has knowledge. | ||
He has judgment. | ||
He has a strategic thinking. | ||
I met with the president, I don't know, five or six weeks ago, and he seemed fine to me. | ||
All right, so look, I just wrote out all those people's names. | ||
Let's not even mention Lemon over there, because he actually at least asked an appropriate question, not that I'm giving Don Lemon credit for anything, but Corinne Jean-Pierre, Alejandro Mayorkas, Mr. Potato Head, none of us were sure who that guy was, number three over there, Nancy Pelosi, Robert Garcia, Chris Coons, Janet Yellen, Bernie Sanders. | ||
All of you could step away from public life at this point. | ||
You all ran cover in the most disgusting way for something that we all knew was a lie. | ||
Apparently Mr. Potato Head, Mitch Landorin. | ||
I've never heard of that guy, but Mitch Landorin? | ||
This is your first and last mention on the Rubin Report. | ||
All of you should retire now. | ||
You should go away. | ||
You should look in the mirror and say, boy, I really participated in something that was unbelievably detrimental to the health of the United States of America. | ||
There was a man who had severe cognitive problems, who clearly was not running the country, who was going to bed often in the early afternoon. | ||
We now know that, too. | ||
And who they were apparently, according to Jake Tapper's new book. | ||
They were getting ready to put in a wheelchair. | ||
And now it also turns out he has very advanced cancer and you all ran cover for him. | ||
But even better than that video, if you want a video of people who should disappear... | ||
Here's Joe Scarborough. | ||
This is one of Joe Scarborough's greatest hits. | ||
Like this, they should play. | ||
He should have to, anytime someone sees, I'm not for harassing people. | ||
You know, I don't like this idea that you should get up in the restaurants and harass these people and they shouldn't have a moment's peace. | ||
I don't think we should be as bad as they are all the time, right? | ||
That's what they always want out of us. | ||
But I would say if anyone ever sees Joe Scarborough on the street, don't approach him or anything else, but just loudly on your phone, play this clip as you walk by him. | ||
unidentified
|
Start your tape right now because I'm about to tell you the truth. | |
And F you if you can't handle the truth. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't have any concerns, and that's from personal interactions. | |
This version of Biden is the best Biden ever. | ||
Not a close second. | ||
Alert. | ||
Sound. | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, the Republicans are, like, good at distractions. | |
I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline. | ||
And there's the guy with the book that comes out this week. | ||
Boy, that cancer screening test came out at the wrong time for Jake. | ||
Look, I don't like lists, right? | ||
Lists are what communists and socialists do. | ||
They get lists of the bad people so that they get blackballed and all of these things. | ||
I don't like the idea of lists. | ||
So I'm not literally for the lists of these people. | ||
But I think mentally, we can all kind of take a list. | ||
Take a list. | ||
Take a look at a list. | ||
And be like, here are the people that participated in this whole thing. | ||
And then here are some people that didn't. | ||
Again, I genuinely, I swear to you on my life, I do not mean this as credit to me, but why did I not participate in this? | ||
And I'm obviously not the only one. | ||
Why did you not participate in this? | ||
Why did you share videos, likely, on your Facebook page or wherever? | ||
Is Facebook still on the computer? | ||
Why did you share videos with friends three years ago? | ||
Asking questions about Biden's obvious mental decline. | ||
Why is it that you shared Biden talking about corn pop and how young boys like to rub the hair on his legs and that's how he learned about cockroaches? | ||
Can we get that one up? | ||
Let's put that up a little later in the show. | ||
We weren't planning for it today. | ||
Can someone grab the corn pop video? | ||
Like, why is it that we all saw those things and we just decided not to participate in it versus another set of people that did? | ||
And then the question is, how much credit? | ||
How much attention? | ||
Do they deserve going forward? | ||
And I would say basically nothing. | ||
But the thing is, what they have to do right now... | ||
They've been so exposed, right? | ||
It's such crazy exposure. | ||
You know, it's like Obama the day before the election going up and giving that speech and doing very fine people, even knowing that it's been debunked a million times. | ||
It's like they want to throw it in your face. | ||
So what they need to do right now is pivot. | ||
So then what's the move, right? | ||
So let's stay ahead of this thing. | ||
What's their move? | ||
Well, they've got to somehow make this about Trump. | ||
So Lawrence O'Donnell, who also is on MSNBC, gifted. | ||
Gifted guy, really. | ||
Here he is. | ||
He tweeted this. | ||
This is right before. | ||
This is on the 16th. | ||
So this is the day before, basically, the prostate issue pops up. | ||
But he retweeted Donald Trump, and he wrote, this is a crisis. | ||
The president is mentally incompetent, and the media refuses to cover that story. | ||
And now I'm going to read you what he was retweeting from Donald Trump, but you might read what Lawrence said right there and go, my God, what did Trump do this time? | ||
It must be completely crazy for him to say that the president's mentally incompetent. | ||
That must be something really wild. | ||
What did Donald Trump tweet? | ||
Has anyone else noticed that since I said I hate Taylor Swift, she's no longer hot? | ||
That's funny. | ||
That's trolling. | ||
That's actually true. | ||
It is no indication of mental incompetence or anything else. | ||
But, and by the way, dude. | ||
Lawrence O'Donnell over there on MSNBC. | ||
Didn't Lawrence O'Donnell have to take a mental health break for a week? | ||
Didn't we cover that? | ||
I think after the election or something, he had to disappear for a week because he was just so stressed. | ||
Yeah, because lying all the time, it's so at odds with the truth that it actually could start getting you brain damaged. | ||
But to suggest... | ||
That Donald Trump is cognitively declined or something is just the height of absurdity. | ||
We'll have more on what Trump's last couple days have looked like, and you can tell me if there's something wrong with this guy or not. | ||
But let's go back, because I think this is one of the most important ones. | ||
Let's go back to June of 2024. | ||
So this was about two weeks. | ||
Before that debate where Biden clearly failed and the airlock broke down. | ||
You already know what I'm talking about. | ||
This was at that big star-studded event with Joe Biden and Barack Obama and George Clooney and the other Hollywood celebs when Biden completely broke down on stage and he was wandering off when Obama, and I said it then and I still believe it now, put his arm behind him to show who was really the boss. | ||
And I think he was hinting to people how bad Biden was, not for his, not because he cared about Biden, but for his own purposes that I think he tried to work through with Kamala. | ||
But let's Just watch how Brian Stelter and Corinne Jean-Pierre covered that. | ||
You know, the White House president used the phrase cheap fakes, the idea of cheap fakes. | ||
Let me explain what that is to people. | ||
We've been worried for years about AI deep fakes, that computer generated images are going to trick people into believing something that's totally false. | ||
Cheap fakes are a little bit simpler. | ||
They're cheap. | ||
They're just distorted, out of context videos, chopped up in certain ways, constructed in certain ways. | ||
That's what we're seeing. | ||
That's what the Biden administration, the Biden campaign is so worried about right now. | ||
But make no mistake, they are worried about this. | ||
This is a real problem. | ||
This is not some made up fiction. | ||
The videos are oftentimes made up, but the problem is real. | ||
Yeah, and I think you all have called this the cheap fakes video, and that's exactly what they are. | ||
They are cheap fakes video. | ||
They are done in bad faith. | ||
And some of your news organization have been very clear, have stressed that these right-wing, the white-wing critics of the president have a credibility problem because of the fact-checkers have repeatedly caught them pushing misinformation, disinformation. | ||
And so we see this, and this is something coming from your part of the world, calling them cheap fakes and misinformation. | ||
Cheapfakes, misinformation, deepfakes. | ||
Meanwhile, great job by a Western lensman over there on X who did that split-screen thing. | ||
I mean, this is, again, why do they always want to censor the Internet? | ||
It's because here you have Delta, who has lied and been on the wrong side of everything, right? | ||
Here you have him talking about cheapfakes, deepfakes, and everything else. | ||
Meanwhile, the real video, the unedited video of Biden frozen, Obama having to grab his hand, show him which way to walk off stage, and everything else, is right there. | ||
So what was the cheapfake? | ||
What was the deepfake? | ||
What was the misinformation? | ||
It actually didn't exist. | ||
And then Corinne Jean-Pierre, a woman who was only hired because of her sexuality and her skin color. | ||
Well, when you're not qualified for the job, I guess you'll do anything you have to to keep the job, like lie 24 hours a day. | ||
We're able to get, I believe this is a truncated version of the famous Corn Pop video. | ||
This is where I started thinking, and what was the date on the original Corn Pop video? | ||
This is probably around 2019 or so, right? | ||
Somewhere around 2019. | ||
This is where I had a little inkling that something was not right with this man. | ||
And you tell me, is this a cheap fake, a deep fake, or a misinformation video? | ||
Corn Pop was a bad dude. | ||
unidentified
|
And he ran a bunch of bad boys. | |
And I did. | ||
And back in those days, to show how things have changed, one of the things you had to use, if you use pomade in your hair, you had to wear a bathing cap. | ||
And so he was up on the board, wouldn't listen to me. | ||
I said, hey, Esther, you, off the board, or I'll come up and drag you off. | ||
Well, he came off, and he said, I'll meet you outside. | ||
My car, this was mostly, these were all public housing behind it. | ||
My car, there was a gate out here. | ||
I parked my car outside the gate. | ||
And I, he said, I'll be waiting for you. | ||
He was waiting for three guys in straight razors. | ||
Not a joke. | ||
First off, that's not even the full version of the thing. | ||
I want the part with the hairy legs and the kids used to come up in the pool and they'd rub his legs. | ||
And then he literally says, and that's how I learned about roaches. | ||
The guy, that was, by the way, we just checked. | ||
That wasn't from 2019. | ||
That was from 2017. | ||
It's a 20 minute complete mental breakdown. | ||
Okay? | ||
And that was well before he was president of the United States. | ||
That version that we just showed you there. | ||
I mean, I don't think he really even knows what he's saying. | ||
And the tone, you know, all of the stuff with him, the dysregulated emotion, that's another part when you have cognitive problems. | ||
There's a frustration that sets in. | ||
Sometimes it's very overly emotive or you see the other version of that where he sort of whispers like this. | ||
And by the way, I don't want to be glib about this. | ||
That is the most... | ||
The most fucked up part that these people have done, beyond the lying that could have led to the destruction of the United States and who the hell was in charge and all of that stuff, which is pretty bad. | ||
The human level of this, the human disgusting level of this that they did, when there was such a learning moment here, there was such a teachable moment that could have brought so many people together. | ||
What could bring Americans together? | ||
Right, left. | ||
Liberal, conservative. | ||
What could bring us together? | ||
Oh, we're all confronted with the same diseases at the end of the day, right? | ||
Cancer doesn't care whether you're a conservative or a liberal. | ||
Cognitive problems don't care whether you're for abortion or against abortion. | ||
They had a chance to do something right. | ||
Are you telling me you have more? | ||
I believe we have the hairy legs. | ||
And by the way, you know, I sit on the stand and it get hot. | ||
unidentified
|
I got a lot of, I got hairy legs that turn. | |
That turned blonde in the sun. | ||
And the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and then watch the hair come back up again. | ||
They'd look at it. | ||
So I learned about roaches. | ||
I learned about kids jumping on my lap. | ||
And I've loved kids jumping on my lap. | ||
That's how he learned about roaches. | ||
By children rubbing the wet hair on his leg, and then as the hair raised, because the water dissipated, he learned about roaches. | ||
There was also a fella named Corn Pop that was involved. | ||
I mean, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys. | ||
Now, the very same people who have lied, the very same people who knew that we knew they were lying and yet continued to lie, well, they are continuing to lie right now. | ||
Here's Brian Stelter on Biden's diagnosis. | ||
unidentified
|
Look, this is breaking news that came just about two hours ago, and it is now rippling through television media, online. | |
How are people consuming this? | ||
How is it reaching people? | ||
And, you know, I'm seeing some prostate cancer survivors, people who have lived with this disease, who have been through this, expressing support, both condolences, but also support and cheering Biden on as he faces this. | ||
The timing, Jessica, is just extraordinary. | ||
We know from the statement from his personal spokesman that Biden learned the diagnosis on Friday. | ||
Well, what was the biggest Biden story on Friday? | ||
It was the release of those audio excerpts from his conversations with Robert Herr back in 2023. | ||
Okay, so of course he's going to the media version of this. | ||
So yes, the audio tapes of the her conversation that Joe Biden had and the absolute confusions and it's very clear he doesn't really know what he's saying. | ||
He gets severely confused about dates. | ||
And look, I can give some leeway on this and it's a lot of pressure to be the president of the United States. | ||
But we're being told that the day that got released, let's just put aside the tapes for a second. | ||
Again. | ||
You're telling me that just on Friday, the former president of the United States, at that age, with all of the medical care that he had and everything else, they walked into his office and they said, Mr. President, you're not going to believe this. | ||
You actually have an unbelievably aggressive late-stage form of prostate cancer. | ||
Sorry, we missed it. | ||
Then, again, that guy, the doctor, I think, O 'Connell, he should lose his medical license. | ||
We need to find out what happened there. | ||
At some point in all of the lies, something has to be left on the doorstep of somebody. | ||
So did the doctor lie? | ||
And if the doctor lied about the prostate, cancer, right? | ||
Because again, nobody finds out. | ||
Nobody that is going to a doctor regularly would find out about this late-stage form out of nowhere. | ||
So did he lie about that to Biden? | ||
Did he lie about that to the media? | ||
Was he falsifying the reports? | ||
On top of all of the people that were lying about all the medications, And the cognitive stuff. | ||
Because the other part is, he obviously, look, here, I'll do a simple one for you, Brian Stelter and you CNN people and everybody else. | ||
How about ask this question? | ||
And I think I proposed this about three years ago. | ||
All you guys had to do, if you wanted to do something pointed that would have got answers to something, and why don't you try it now? | ||
I know it's late in the game, but you could just, at the next press conference that they give about Biden or when the next time Jean-Pierre or Psaki, how about, is Joe Biden Right now, or has Joe Biden ever been on medication for cognitive issues? | ||
Because if the answer is no, then someone is negligent in their care of Joe Biden. | ||
And if the answer is yes, then that is an admission that something was wrong with him. | ||
And that would be appropriate for the American people to know. | ||
How long has this been going on? | ||
Et cetera, et cetera. | ||
So there's multiple scandals. | ||
On top of the auto-pen scandals, the who the hell was really in charge, there's multiple layers of scandals here. | ||
And what I'm trying to do, I think, with this show is show you that maybe now there is just enough. | ||
Just enough that enough people will now be like, we will not do this anymore. | ||
But again, you always have to give credit to the machine. | ||
Watch how the machine turns. | ||
The very same people who participated in all of it, watch how they turn the narrative. | ||
And this is a perfect example of that. | ||
This is CNN analyst David Axelrod. | ||
You're not gonna believe what his job was before being a CNN analyst. | ||
He was, I believe he was, was he press secretary? | ||
No, he was chief of staff. | ||
For Barack Obama, what was David Axelrod's job in the White House? | ||
But he worked for Barack Obama. | ||
We'll get the title in one second. | ||
He was... | ||
unidentified
|
Senior advisor. | |
Senior advisor. | ||
Yeah, senior advisor to Obama. | ||
So this was one of his main guys. | ||
And then he becomes an analyst for CNN. | ||
Could he be opinionated? | ||
I have no idea. | ||
But watch how he is going to change the game and change the narrative right in front of your face. | ||
unidentified
|
His medical condition now, his announced medical condition now, do you believe that silences or delays a lot of conversations about his last year and a half of his presidency for now? | |
Yeah, well, I mean, I think those conversations are going to happen, but they should be more muted and set aside for now as he's struggling through this. | ||
Why? | ||
Why, David? | ||
Why should they be muted and set aside? | ||
Unless you want to cover your ass. | ||
Unless you want to buy time for all of you people who have lied about all of this stuff to scurry away. | ||
But I don't think we should let you scurry away. | ||
I don't think we should jail you. | ||
And again, I don't mean it in like we need a literal list of you people. | ||
But you guys all participated in something that really almost ended the United States of America. | ||
For all of the good things that I've been talking about on this show since Donald Trump took over on January 20th, it all would have been reversed because Kamala, whether it was going to be Biden or Kamala, like all the lies that you guys perpetrated, that Biden was okay or that Kamala was going to be a... | ||
Like that she was a real candidate in the first place and she didn't force him out of office and everything else. | ||
You guys perpetrated all of that on all of us. | ||
And had that thing won? | ||
America would be absolutely screwed in the highest order right now, and it wouldn't just be America, because all of the countries, and we'll get to this in the later half of the show, all of the countries now that are coming to America, that are redoing trade deals, that are looking for Middle East peace deals, all of these things, it would be completely reversed, because we know what the former administration was doing with all of these things. | ||
So all of you are culpable, and I, for one, am just going to put a little extra effort in making sure you don't get away with it. | ||
Let's talk about Tax Network USA, and then we'll have a bit more on the people. | ||
People who have lied and what their future vision for America might be. | ||
Tax Day may have passed, but for millions of Americans, the real trouble is just beginning. | ||
If you miss the April 15th deadline or still owe back taxes, the IRS is ramping up enforcement. | ||
Every day you wait only makes things worse. | ||
The good news? | ||
There's still time for Tax Network USA to help. | ||
Self-employed or a business owner with messy books, Tax Network USA quickly organizes your finances and gets you back on track. | ||
Even post-deadline, a free consultation can help you act now to avoid penalties, threatening letters, All right, so let's go a little bit further with some of the other people who are involved in all of this. | ||
Let's jump back a bit to Chuck Schumer refusing to answer a question about Biden's ability to serve a second term, which again, just think about it this way. | ||
If Joe Biden was president right now, had they not... | ||
Done that soft coup. | ||
And somehow he had beat Donald Trump. | ||
What we would be confronted with as a country right now is that the president of the United States, who would have over three and a half more years to serve, not only would have cognitive stuff that would have become increasingly clear every single day, but would have been a half an inch away from being in a wheelchair by their own administration's words, and now has a highly aggressive form of prostate cancer, which is spread to his bones, which means his time is highly limited. | ||
But here was Chuck Schumer saying that, yeah, he was ready to roll. | ||
unidentified
|
You sat next to Biden in the Oval Office, February 27th, 2024, just a handful of months before the president took that debate stage. | |
And it was later reported that you and other Democratic leaders were talking before the debate about having a plan. | ||
You and Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama. | ||
I understand you later denied that that ever happened. | ||
I am curious, I'm interested to know whether the man that you saw sitting there on that couch on that day, you were in there, you saw him up close and personal. | ||
Did you really not have any idea that he was not fit to serve a second term? | ||
Casey, we're looking forward. | ||
We have the largest Medicaid cut in front of us. | ||
We have the whole federal government at risk. | ||
unidentified
|
You're facing all of this because you lost a presidential election. | |
And is that not Joe Biden's responsibility for deciding to run again? | ||
We're looking forward. | ||
unidentified
|
That's it? | |
That's it. | ||
Chuck, putting aside your pandering bullshit for a second, might I just offer you a little stylistic advice, which is stop wearing your glasses like this. | ||
I understand if you're at a restaurant. | ||
I've worn glasses in the last year, and when I'm at a dimly lit restaurant, I do need to wear them. | ||
I can't see the menu, and I keep going to Chinese places and ordering the burrito. | ||
So I finally got glasses. | ||
But if you wear glasses like this all the time when you're on television and we're talking to people, it makes you look like an elitist asshole. | ||
It makes you look like you're looking down to everybody. | ||
What you're doing in an interview like that is just looking into a camera like I'm doing right now. | ||
You don't need to see Cassie. | ||
You don't need to read anything unless they've got talking points in front of you. | ||
So stop doing this. | ||
That would just be my general... | ||
Like, someone walking around like this, you're going, that guy, I don't trust that guy. | ||
That's number one. | ||
Number two, okay, so Chuck, you're on my list, non-list, of people who lied about everything. | ||
And it's obvious the way he does it. | ||
I mean, the fact that we even let politicians get away with that sort of lying. | ||
You were asked a very direct question, and things are great. | ||
I'm just, everything is great. | ||
Everything is great. | ||
Well, here's Timu Obama on that. | ||
unidentified
|
From the book, President Biden didn't even recognize George Clooney at a fundraiser that the movie star was actually hosting for him. | |
Why should voters trust Democrats when it's clear so many in your party went to great lengths to keep Biden's condition hidden, hidden from the public? | ||
I can't tell you what happened between George Clooney and President Biden that wasn't at. | ||
What I can say is that we're not looking backward. | ||
We're going to continue to look forward, because at this moment, we've got real problems that need to be addressed on behalf of the American people, including the Republican effort to snatch away health care, snatch away food assistance, and hurt veterans. | ||
But you see what he did there, Tmue Obama. | ||
He can't comment on the question. | ||
He wasn't there. | ||
He has no freaking idea about anything as it comes to Biden's... | ||
But what he can comment on is scary Donald Trump. | ||
By the way, Wolf Blitzer, I would ask you the same question. | ||
If you'd like to come on the program, are you concerned at all that you had a little something to do with this? | ||
Because clearly you know inside stuff. | ||
You're in D.C. You see the same videos we see. | ||
In retrospect, should you have asked some different questions? | ||
Should you have raised the alarm a little bit, etc., etc.? | ||
But the Timur-Obama move right there to make this all about Trump, that is going to be the next thing. | ||
Because what does the left have left? | ||
They really have nothing. | ||
They can get you Hamas supporters out in the streets. | ||
They can get you some rebranded DEI. | ||
They can burn some things down. | ||
They can tell you that your penis is a vagina. | ||
They can do all those things. | ||
But they really don't have much left other than fear. | ||
Fear will be the thing they need to ramp up more than ever. | ||
Here is millionaire socialist Bernie Sanders going on quote-unquote comedian Stephen Colbert's late night show and see what he's most concerned about. | ||
Obviously, we have got to fight Trump every day because he is the most dangerous president, perhaps, in American history. | ||
But we've got to do more than that. | ||
We have to have a vision, Stephen, of where we want this country to go. | ||
unidentified
|
Stephen, what I do is a bunch of meaningless nonsense. | |
Donald Trump's the most scary president ever. | ||
He's an authoritarian and an oligarch. | ||
unidentified
|
I have to leave in a few minutes because if I miss my private flight, I'll have to sit with the schmucks and get on a line at United. | |
You're like some kind of fucking idiot that would wait on a line and eat pretzels. | ||
I'm not going to do that. | ||
unidentified
|
Do it! | |
Bernie, but he's doing the thing, right? | ||
What is the thing? | ||
Donald Trump is the worst. | ||
It's the scariest ever. | ||
We've got to fight the oligarchy. | ||
Get out on the streets. | ||
America's fundamentally evil. | ||
Capitalism is wrong. | ||
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
And what else do these people have? | ||
What else do the Democrats have? | ||
Well, they have race. | ||
And with race comes white people, bad, black people, good. | ||
Give us your cash. | ||
Here is Pennsylvania Representative Summer Lee. | ||
And she wants your money, whitey. | ||
unidentified
|
What does your resolution really aim for? | |
Is it that black Americans of a certain economic level? | ||
Black Americans. | ||
Basically, it doesn't matter as to what economic level. | ||
It's pretty much all black Americans. | ||
unidentified
|
What about those individuals of any race that have a lineage going back to slave America? | |
It doesn't matter. | ||
unidentified
|
So to be very clear, whether or not a black American, a black descendant of American chattel slavery, were able to break into the middle class, they are still, and they were able to do that despite the harms, despite the past injustices done to them, so they are not excluded from the reparation and the remedies therein. | |
When we think about who All right. | ||
First off, I don't know why that video was played in two times speed. | ||
That was not Conor fiddling with it for some reason. | ||
That's just the way it came to us. | ||
Let me just be clear, lady. | ||
You can't have my money, okay? | ||
That's number one. | ||
You cannot have it. | ||
It's mine. | ||
I earned it. | ||
I paid taxes for it. | ||
And I'm going to use it as I see fit. | ||
Also, my ancestors had an awful tough time in the countries they came from and were holocausted and pogromed and a bunch of other stuff. | ||
And I'm not asking you for anything, right? | ||
We all got a chance here in America. | ||
That's the beauty of America. | ||
What you do with it is up to you. | ||
Doesn't mean everything was always right. | ||
Really doesn't. | ||
But just taking from some to give to others at your whim. | ||
Also, as if. | ||
As if there's a number. | ||
There's a magic number. | ||
You know what? | ||
Every white person should give every black person $20,000, and then every black person will have $20,000. | ||
Well, you know what? | ||
We're done with racism, guys. | ||
We're wrapping it up. | ||
Wrap it up! | ||
We've figured it out. | ||
We solved it. | ||
We gave them their cash. | ||
No. | ||
You know what it'll do? | ||
It will perpetuate an even more perverse version of racism because two, three generations later, when it hasn't worked out because that $20,000 or $50,000 or $100,000 or $1 million per black person, when that hasn't solved all of the problems because it's an impossibility, then you're going to have the generation, two generations down, going, My ancestors sold me out from the seven generations before that who were slaves for a hundred thousand bucks and then all hell will break out even more. | ||
And also, if you forcibly take from some people, why should someone who came to America from Eastern Europe or from Asia or anywhere else and came over with nothing? | ||
But a suitcase and worked real hard and then paid attention to family and education and all of those things and played by the rules and did it right. | ||
Why should you... | ||
Take money from them to give to a person of a specific skin color. | ||
You would do that if you want to perpetuate racism. | ||
You know how you also might get people to be racist? | ||
You discriminate against them when it comes to college admissions. | ||
So if you want to take a bunch of Asian people and make them hate black people where you're doing a hell of a job, Harvard, because that's what you have been doing. | ||
And that's what I think about that. | ||
But... | ||
There are some people that disagree with me on this. | ||
There are some people that want my money. | ||
There are some people that want your money. | ||
And there are also people like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson who openly discriminates against white people as a matter of policy. | ||
Here he is, a man. | ||
Let's get the numbers on how many people were shot and killed in Chicago this weekend. | ||
Here he is, a mayor of Chicago, saying that he does look to hire black people. | ||
For interesting reasons, which is actually illegal, but watch. | ||
Some detractors that will push back on me and say, you know, the only thing the mayor talks about is the hiring of black people. | ||
No, what I'm saying is, when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else. | ||
We are the most generous people on the planet. | ||
I don't know too many cultures that have play cousins. | ||
That's how generous we are. | ||
We just make somebody a family member, right? | ||
This is how we are. | ||
And so business and economic neighborhood development, the deputy mayor is a black woman. | ||
Department of Planning and Development is a black woman. | ||
Infrastructure deputy mayor is a black woman. | ||
Chief operations officer is a black man. | ||
Budget director is a black woman. | ||
Senior advisor is a black man. | ||
And I'm laying that out because when you ask, how do we ensure that our people get a chance to grow their business? | ||
Every single thing that that man said there is antithetical to the founding of this country. | ||
Also, the idea that black people are the only people who have play cousins. | ||
The idea of play cousins, it's like that you have close family friends, people that live next door to you, friends and whatever, and you're just, you're all cousins, right? | ||
You're all in family. | ||
I mean, I'm watching The Sopranos right now. | ||
Everybody. | ||
It's about an Italian family from New Jersey. | ||
Have you heard of it? | ||
Everybody's everybody's cousin. | ||
And everybody's named Tony. | ||
That's my cousin Tony. | ||
Oh, have you met my cousin Tony? | ||
Oh, look, that's my second cousin Tony. | ||
Oh, he's friends with Tony, isn't he? | ||
What about Tony? | ||
What's his son's name? | ||
Anthony? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah, yeah. | |
That's my cousin Tony's Anthony's cousin. | ||
So what are you talking about? | ||
It just doesn't make any sense, but... | ||
Of course it doesn't make any sense. | ||
By the way, 17 people were shot in Chicago this weekend. | ||
Likely all black. | ||
Four were killed. | ||
But why don't you know their names? | ||
Why aren't we marching in the streets for them? | ||
You know because you're a wise Rubin Report viewer. | ||
It was black people who shot the black people. | ||
So we don't talk about that. | ||
But all of this to be said, there are good things happening in the country right now. | ||
We will get to them in a moment. | ||

All right, so the lies, the race scripters, the people who purport to be generous while they want to steal from you, all of that stuff, let's throw it right over there and let's get to the good stuff right now because there is a lot of good stuff happening and I am going to focus on it and I am going to continue focusing on it because the one thing that will get us out of the BS, that will get us out of the lies... | ||
That will get us out of the muck and the mire that these people have sunk us into is success. | ||
Donald Trump, what will be his success? | ||
What will be his revenge? | ||
Success. | ||
So let's roll with that. | ||
Check this out from CNN on inflation. | ||
It's slowing, and it's slowing a lot. | ||
A lot. | ||
unidentified
|
U.S. inflation slowing to its lowest rate in more than four years. | |
That according to April's Consumer Price Index report. | ||
It's an unexpected and very welcome development that's defying economists' expectations amid President Trump's ongoing trade war. | ||
Let's go live right now to CNN Business and Politics correspondent Vanessa Yurkiewicz, who's watching all of this in New York. | ||
Vanessa, walk us through this morning's report. | ||
Where do things stand? | ||
Encouraging signs, Wolf. | ||
Inflation continuing to move in the right direction, cooling on an annual basis to 2.3%. | ||
Wolf just knows he sold his soul, right? | ||
He just has this look like, I cannot believe I'm doing this for so long, for so many years, and this is how it all ended. | ||
But put that all aside. | ||
Inflation is slowing down. | ||
Now, when inflation is high, let's try to do this for the simple people. | ||
When inflation is high, your dollars are worth less. | ||
It's harder to borrow. | ||
It's harder to spend because the dollar has less value. | ||
When inflation comes down, then the value of the dollar starts going up, and then you're able to buy more and borrow more, and banks are willing to sell, and interest rates go down so that you can borrow more, and then you can do things like build businesses or buy houses or get a new car, and that's how it scales throughout the economy. | ||
So okay, that's pretty good. | ||
Sounds good. | ||
So there's one win, and now we've got this from MAGA Resource, which is an ex-commentary account. | ||
Breaking. | ||
More winning. | ||
Oil prices dropped to lowest levels since 2021. | ||
In a stunning win for America First policies, oil prices have crashed to their lowest since 21, with crude tanking to $65.50 a barrel today, proving President Trump's energy dominance is back in full force. | ||
The radical left's green agenda is crumbling as patriots cheer this massive drop a whopping 6.6% in just one day, crushing Crooked Joe's legacy of sky-high gas prices. | ||
Sources say China's weak retaliation to Trump's tough tariffs and OPEC's desperate output hikes can't stop the MAGA economic juggernaut. | ||
American workers are thriving with cheaper fuel, while the fake news media scrambles to spin this as anything but a Trump triumph. | ||
Elon Musk's doge crew slashing government waste is keeping the focus on real energy independence, not socialist handouts. | ||
This is the Trump effect, low prices, strong America, and winning big league. | ||
You think I'm pretty sure he did. | ||
But the point is... | ||
Gas prices are coming down. | ||
What did you say you saw in Miami this weekend at the pump? | ||
290. | ||
290 for unleaded at the pump. | ||
Like, it is coming down. | ||
Do you remember not too long ago when we were five? | ||
I remember going to LA. | ||
Remember that picture I took when we were in LA? | ||
unidentified
|
And what was it? | |
It was almost $6 a gallon. | ||
Maybe even seven, like absolutely crazy. | ||
Now, of course, this is all to the backdrop of this tariff situation. | ||
This tariff situation, which for about two and a half days caused the market to drop. | ||
Then we had nine straight days of market growth. | ||
The market is not only back, it's probably a little bit better overall than it was before. | ||
And we are now getting the deals back in. | ||
As I played a video from, I think it was a week or maybe it was even 10 days ago. | ||
Or so, David Sachs, who's the crypto and AI czar on the All In podcast, saying that at the end of the day, when the deals land, that's when we will know if the tariff thing worked. | ||
So everybody was going crazy, tariffs, it's all hell's going to break loose. | ||
And we had a mini break loose of hell with the market. | ||
But then it all started recorrecting. | ||
But the real proof will be in the pudding. | ||
When the deals come back, is there a landing? | ||
Do we get 60 countries that were like... | ||
All right, U.S., let's play ball. | ||
And do we get seven countries that are like, screw you, we're doing it our way. | ||
Or is it 30 and 30 or whatever it might be? | ||
Then we will know and we are getting pretty close. | ||
Here's Scott Besson on that. | ||
Let's turn to trade because that's obviously where there's been a lot of focus. | ||
President Trump just put 150 countries on notice that their tariffs are about to go higher in the next few weeks if they don't reach a trade deal with the U.S. How exactly... | ||
Will you decide what those new tariff rates will be? | ||
Will they be what was previously announced on April 2nd, so-called Liberation Day? | ||
And when will they actually go into effect? | ||
So, Jake, we have a 90-day pause. | ||
There are 18 important trading partners, probably another 20 strong relationships. | ||
President Trump has put them on notice that if you do not negotiate in good faith, that you will ratchet back up to your April 2nd. | ||
So the 90-day pause isn't just China? | ||
It's everybody? | ||
No, the 90-day pause was put on about a week after April 2nd. | ||
Oh, that first 90-day pause. | ||
The first 90-day pause. | ||
And I can tell you that with a few exceptions... | ||
The countries are coming with very good proposals for us. | ||
And I look at these proposals and they want to lower their tariffs. | ||
They want to lower their non-tariff barriers. | ||
Some of them have been manipulating their currency. | ||
They've been subsidizing industry and labor. | ||
And I look at these proposals and I think these are excellent proposals. | ||
But I wonder, how did we get here? | ||
How did the previous administrations allow this to happen to the American people? | ||
unidentified
|
All right, and not only is that wonderful news, but coming out of India, it appears that they're willing to cut 100% of the tariffs for the United States. | |
Very, very good. | ||
But in the case of India, India wants, you know, they're one of the highest taxed or tariff nations in the world. | ||
They make it almost impossible to do business. | ||
Do you know that they're willing to cut 100% of their tariffs? | ||
For the United States. | ||
unidentified
|
Is that the deal coming soon? | |
Yeah, that'll come soon. | ||
I'm in no rush. | ||
Look, everybody wants to make a deal with us. | ||
unidentified
|
South Korea. | |
South Korea wants to make a deal with us. | ||
But I'm not going to make deals with everybody. | ||
I'm just going to set the limit. | ||
I'll make another some deals. | ||
And then I'm just going to... | ||
Because you can't meet with that many people. | ||
I've got 150 countries that want to make deals. | ||
You know, you have a lot of countries. | ||
unidentified
|
So you see, this is very, very good. | |
Good, okay. | ||
This means cheaper beef vindaloo for everyone. | ||
Cheaper samosa. | ||
unidentified
|
Cheaper butter chicken. | |
Cheaper... | ||
What's it called? | ||
The thing with the lamb and the spinach. | ||
All cheaper for everybody. | ||
Good time. | ||
Party. | ||
Also, in another... | ||
unidentified
|
You want to do that dance here for a second? | |
It's a good time. | ||
Everyone will eat freely, and we will have sauce and curry, and okay, it's good, it's good. | ||
Okay, okay. | ||
Now, let's go over to Middle East for a second. | ||
This is from Vigilant Fox, and there's a lot of good stuff coming out of the Middle East. | ||
Yeah, no, no, no, I'll just do this straight up. | ||
One accent per day, people. | ||
The most concrete results weren't words. | ||
They were numbers. | ||
As Trump moved from one Gulf nation to another and the deal started to stack up, and by the end of the week, the totals were staggering. | ||
This was the art of the deal in action. | ||
$600 billion of commitment and investments from Saudi Arabia, which will lead to hundreds of thousands in the United States. | ||
$1.2 trillion agreement with Qatar to generate an economic exchange with the United States. | ||
The sale of up to $200 billion. | ||
10 American-made Boeing aircrafts to Qatar Airways. | ||
An agreement for GE Aerospace to supply more than 400 engines to power the Boeing planes. | ||
$200 billion in the U.S.-United Arab Emirates commercial deals. | ||
Every handshake came with jobs, capital, and strategic leverage brought home to the United States. | ||
So let me say this quickly. | ||
Look, I have no idea if any of this is going to work. | ||
I would say it's exactly like the tariff stuff. | ||
You have to see where it lands. | ||
Are these all good guys? | ||
No. | ||
The UAE, they're actually quite good, and they've really westernized, and they've put a real foot down when it comes to dealing with this Hamas stuff and the jihad stuff and everything else. | ||
If they could only export that to, say, London or to Belgium or to Germany, etc., etc. | ||
But Qatar, they do not deserve our trust. | ||
I think it is worth playing. | ||
And that's what Donald Trump is doing right now. | ||
You don't make peace with friendlies. | ||
You make peace with enemies. | ||
Qatar funded October 7th. | ||
They have funded a huge amount of terrorism throughout the world. | ||
They housed the leaders of Hamas who are billionaires who eventually got kicked out and moved to Turkey. | ||
But the point is Trump went there and did something no one else was willing to do. | ||
The argument against it would be, oh, well, then I guess everything's really worked in the Middle East for the past, you know, five, six, seven, eight, nine decades. | ||
Clearly, that is not the answer. | ||
So if you want to bring more countries in, well, how do you do it? | ||
You don't bomb them into submission, right? | ||
You might say, let's all start trading fairly. | ||
Let's get deals in place so that we can expand the Abraham Accords. | ||
Because once that's expanded, then there's less... | ||
Inclination to be fighting militarily, right? | ||
Once all these countries sign on with deals with Israel, they're just not going to be fighting anymore, which is why Israel's not at war with Morocco, right? | ||
Like, you can put aside these ancient hatreds. | ||
So now if you bring Saudi Arabia into on that, and if you get Qatar to release those last 20 hostages, and you get them in on it, and the UAE is already there, then suddenly there's an economic game being played. | ||
And then people are like, boy, you know, wait a minute. | ||
So on the Gaza... | ||
Coastline, which is the Mediterranean, that's just a couple miles south of Tel Aviv, which is one of the nicest beaches in the world. | ||
Are you saying we could build massive hotels? | ||
And are you saying we could have incredible economic expansion and we could make it a tourist destination instead of a death trap? | ||
And then everyone kind of gets in on it. | ||
It doesn't mean people don't have some of their ancient hatreds. | ||
It doesn't mean they're all going to love each other in the most holistic way. | ||
But it is something. | ||
Here's a bit more on Trump's UAE visit. | ||
It's a true privilege to visit your country, a special country, and gather as friends. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm honored to be the first American president ever to officially visit. | |
To the Amir, to the royal family, and to this entire nation, congratulations on a spectacular job. | ||
As president, I'm proud that our growing friendship is blossoming into a full-fledged economic and security partnership. | ||
We're setting records on this trip. | ||
We're bringing a lot of We have a great friendship I want to wish So | ||
again guys, I don't know if world peace is possible. | ||
I don't know if peace is... | ||
Possible in the Middle East, like, true peace, where there will be, like, true religious coexistence. | ||
Actually, there's one place in the Middle East where there's religious coexistence, where people are treated fairly regardless of what religion they are. | ||
That's Israel. | ||
But that's the place that kind of has to now be let into the game here. | ||
So if these guys all want to just put it aside, put aside... | ||
Houthis... | ||
All right, you're in Yemen. | ||
Okay, you can't bomb shipping lanes and you can't just lob rockets into other countries. | ||
Lebanon, you're going to have to take your country back away from Hezbollah. | ||
Like, there's things that actually have been done. | ||
There's so much fertile ground for change. | ||
And Donald Trump's going with it. | ||
It doesn't mean it... | ||
But it certainly is worth a shot. | ||
It should also be noted that obviously a lot of what Hamas is doing is from Iran, not necessarily Qatar, but they have definitely been funding a lot of this stuff. | ||
And again, you don't make peace with friendlies, you make peace with enemies. | ||
I want to read this tweet by Amjad Taha. | ||
He is a Middle East ex-commentator from the UAE. | ||
He's really good. | ||
I've been trying to get him on the show and listen to this. | ||
I thought this was quite good. | ||
He wrote, The Islamist Muslim Brotherhood parasites living freely in Britain, many of whom are pedophiles, got triggered seeing young girls in the UAE celebrating President Trump's visit. | ||
Their rage, hair, joy, and freedom, things they can't control. | ||
But let's be clear, this isn't the UK. | ||
This isn't Birminghamistan or London. | ||
To these Islamists, our beautiful Arab culture, rich in art, dance, pride, and peace, is alien. | ||
And of course it is. | ||
You never accepted Western civilization, let alone understood it. | ||
President Trump was welcomed by proud girls and boys who celebrated their heritage with joy, music, and dignity, values Islamists loathe. | ||
They hijacked the usual ignorant leftist voices to attack the joy. | ||
Why? | ||
Because deep down, they fear what they can't dominate. | ||
And yes, those students who welcomed Trump weren't just performers. | ||
Some of them were part of the UAE's National Space Program, future scientists and leaders. | ||
Meanwhile, the jihadist Islamists in the UK don't know a damn thing about space science or civilization. | ||
They're too busy laundering British benefits money and wiring it to Hamas terrorists in Gaza to kidnap girls, bomb schools, and murder baby boys. | ||
You hate what you can't build. | ||
You destroy what you can't control and you lie when the truth terrifies you. | ||
I mean, that is an absolutely spectacular post and we will try to get him on the show because he has been warning about this for years. | ||
That in countries like the UAE where they have westernized and they now have a flourishing economy and they have made deals with Israel and the United States, western values start to make people better because you can start dreaming. | ||
You can get over ancient hatreds. | ||
Then you can start building. | ||
And that's why in the UAE, they don't tolerate any of the jihadist bullshit. | ||
The Hamas protests that we have here in Colombia and that take over the streets in London every day in the UK, they've banned them there, okay? | ||
Now, they have different... | ||
We might want to take a hint from the people who have lived through it, from the places where so much of this evil came and how they deal with it. | ||
And Donald Trump is the man to bridge this. | ||
He really is. | ||
There's just no way around it. | ||
You may not be thrilled with all of this. | ||
You may be thinking he's playing with some bad dudes right now, but there is a game changer happening. | ||
And for the 15th time now, where it lands, we do not know, but it is worth a shot. | ||
And there is something about Donald Trump. | ||
It's a pretty grueling schedule. | ||
A lot of people said, how the hell do you do it? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I think it's genetics. | ||
I had a father who was very strong and I had a mother who was very strong. | ||
They lived to ripe old ages and they were great people. | ||
And it's meeting after meeting. | ||
And not only that, it's speech after speech. | ||
Big ones. | ||
Big ones. | ||
Last night, if you look, he got up and made a beautiful speech. | ||
Mohammed, he got up and made a beautiful speech. | ||
I wasn't told I even had a speech to make. | ||
So I had to make a speech off the cuff. | ||
Do you think Biden could do that? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't think so. | |
Actually, it was a pretty good speech. | ||
I looked at it. | ||
It was pretty good. | ||
I didn't know I was doing it. | ||
But, you know, it's meeting after meeting with the highest level people. | ||
These are great people. | ||
Did they love us again? | ||
They were not feeling love at all. | ||
They were going to China. | ||
They're not going to China anymore. | ||
So look, there's something about the way Trump is wired that he can go and do these things and land and immediately give the speeches and they're off the cuff and he gets people to sit down who wouldn't sit down. | ||
He's showing, look, I don't want to pile on Biden at this point for this, but he's showing, like, look at the stark difference of what we dealt with for the last four years. | ||
Do you think any of those people... | ||
In the UAE or any of those countries, do you think they respected or at least respect and or feared America? | ||
I could deal with either one of those, right? | ||
Like you got to either respect us or fear us, right? | ||
One or the other. | ||
And do you think they had either of those things? | ||
I don't think so. | ||
So Donald Trump, in this case, is a one-of-a-kind unicorn figure who is doing things that nobody else is doing. | ||
And another thing that Donald Trump is doing, which is happening right here in this country, is he is taking the same liberals, he is sitting down with them, he is breaking bread with them, and he's actually changing some of their views on things, or at least changing their views of him, which will give him a longer leash to do good pro-America, pro-freedom stuff. | ||

|
Bill Maher. | |
Well, there is a Trump doctrine now. | ||
You know, and if people have been followed in the past, our history, we have doctrines. | ||
The Monroe Doctrine, back in the 19th century, was saying, anything that happens in the Western Hemisphere, in the Caribbean, that's our business, and we will f*** with you. | ||
Then there was the Bush Doctrine. | ||
The Bush doctrine was, like, if you harbor terrorists, we will treat you like a terrorist yourself. | ||
Now we have the Trump doctrine, which is, I think, as much of a departure as any doctrine a president has ever promulgated. | ||
Because what he is saying is, and I'll give you some of the quotes, is, in the end... | ||
The so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built. | ||
This is his speech in Riyadh. | ||
Interventionists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand. | ||
Now, I've got to say, this is something people on the left said about Vietnam. | ||
Societies we did not even understand. | ||
We said it about Iraq. | ||
What are we doing here? | ||
But Trump is basically saying, we don't give a shit about what your morality is. | ||
And again, it's a hard one for people on the left to argue with because they're the ones who say America's so evil. | ||
So his doctrine is basically you do you. | ||
We all love money. | ||
We all love money, and we're not going to lecture you or heck to you anymore about your morals. | ||
You want to cut off somebody's head, a reporter's head with a bone saw? | ||
You know, we all have our peccadilloes. | ||
That's his doctrine. | ||
unidentified
|
He said, quote, This person. | |
Trump isn't going over there to lecture. | ||
He's going over there to do deals. | ||
I think Trump has changed it to peace and war. | ||
He talks about peace more than he talks about war. | ||
He's still hawkish enough to bomb people that need to be bombed, like the Houthi rebels. | ||
But I get the feeling he's responding to all these new inflows of constituents of the Republican Party. | ||
Maybe they were Democrats before. | ||
unidentified
|
Maybe they weren't even political before. | |
But they would much rather hear an American president talk about peace. | ||
All right, so Scott Jennings, of course, just making sense, as he usually does. | ||
But look what Donald Trump just did to Bill Maher. | ||
He got Bill Maher basically to say, I agree with your foreign policy. | ||
Because Bill, he's right. | ||
Like, the left used to be like, oh, you know, we can't be in any of these places or do anything. | ||
And what Bill is now coming around to is, we'll make deals with people. | ||
You're going to have your... | ||
Cultural norms, right? | ||
We can't solve all of the problems in all of these countries. | ||
We can't. | ||
What Bill describes is, but everybody likes money. | ||
I would say everyone likes success, I think, might be a more generous or fairer way to share it. | ||
Like, ultimately, if all of these countries start realizing, boy, if we stop fighting with everybody, if we get on board a little bit more with America right now, if we stop hating those pesky Jews, if we can do all of that stuff, then our countries will be safer. | ||
Our people will have more economic incentive to build good lives for themselves. | ||
And then all of the dictators that we had to work with all of these years who were so horrible to their own people, right? | ||
Like, how did we become an ally to, say, Egypt? | ||
Well, they had Hosni Mubarak, who was a pretty terrible dictator. | ||
You know, they had elections where he'd win 98% of the vote for decades. | ||
And it's like, and then at some point during Tahrir Square, what was that, 2004, 2006, something like that, when Obama, when there were protests against him, and Obama just threw him under the bus. | ||
And now Egypt is basically run by the military. | ||
All these countries have been run by pretty poor people. | ||
And now what Donald Trump is saying is, hey, there's a couple countries doing a little bit better, right? | ||
UA is doing a little bit better. | ||
Saudi Arabia, you guys have come a long way. | ||
We already have some of these deals with the Abraham Accords. | ||
You want to get on board. | ||
You want to look at the world in a new way. | ||
We are not here to bomb the hell out of you. | ||
We're not here to tell you who your leaders should be or anything else. | ||
But if you want to succeed with us, if you want to build things with us, you can get on board. | ||
And Bill Maher has rightly pointed out whether you want to call that money or success or whatever. | ||
It's like that is the thing that will bring everybody on board. | ||
So look, just put a pin in it. | ||
We'll see what happens. | ||
I can't tell you there's going to be a Middle East piece tomorrow or a year from now or 10 years from now. | ||
But I think there's a hell of a lot closer chance than there was for the previous four years. | ||
And next on the docket? | ||
Well, maybe we can knock out this Ukraine-Russia thing. | ||
This is from Zelensky himself. | ||
Good meeting with VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Rome. | ||
During our talks, we discussed negotiations in Istanbul to where the Russians sent a low-level delegation of non-decision makers. | ||
I reaffirm that Ukraine is ready to be engaged in real diplomacy and underscore the importance of a full... | ||
And unconditional ceasefire as soon as possible. | ||
We have also touched upon the need for sanctions against Russia, bilateral trade, defense cooperation, battlefield situation, and upcoming prisoner exchanges. | ||
Pressure is needed against Russia until they are eager to stop the war. | ||
And of course, we talked about our joint steps to achieve a just and durable peace. | ||
Thank you to all American people for the support and leadership in saving lives. | ||
Guys, that is a huge departure. | ||
From the Zelensky visit to the White House about six weeks ago, where he got into a massive fight and then literally left before lunch with J.D. and with President Trump and Marco and everybody else. | ||
So things are changing, guys. | ||
And, you know, we started the show in a sort of, I don't want to say depressing way. | ||
We started the show in like, that's the old way. | ||
All of the lies around Biden, all of the lies of the media, all of the people who've done everything wrong, who don't want you to look at them. | ||
Well, I think we're ending the show very differently. | ||
We're ending the show with like, there is a real chance. | ||
And I, again, I am just going to focus on that chance because maybe we can get out of this. | ||
Maybe we have some brave people out there. | ||
Maybe we're on the brink of doing things differently and we just got to keep finding each other. | ||
And then whether you think it's money, as Bill said, or success, which is the way I would say it. | ||
That is what will bring more and more of us, whether we are in the UAE or we are in France or Mexico or right here in America. | ||
That is the thing that will bring us together. | ||
Another thing that will bring us together is the new Rubin Report updated, revamped, and remade newsletter, which you can get by clicking. | ||
Look at me. | ||
I'm very serious. | ||
I've got a piece of paper. | ||
I'm thinking about things. | ||
The newsletter, which is going out to a couple hundred thousand people right now. | ||
The link is in the description below. | ||
And we've got a post-game show, rubenreport.locals.com. | ||
And did the audio of that crazy peacock just come through? | ||
Did anyone else hear that? | ||
There is a peacock possibly giving birth right now. | ||
So we're going to do a post-game show, and then I'm going to possibly get some peacock eggs, and we'll have a little party. | ||
Joseph, would you like to do that dance-out for us? | ||
