| All right, everybody. | ||
| How you doing? | ||
| I'm Dave Rubin. | ||
| This is The Rubin Report. | ||
| It is May 22nd, 2025. | ||
| We are live streaming on Rumble, YouTube, and local. | ||
| Share, subscribe, tap that notification bell. | ||
| And we will have a post-game show for you today. | ||
| Apologies, we did not yesterday, but I was on Piers Morgan Uncensored, smacking around some jihadists and Marxists. | ||
| I think video of that will be up. | ||
| Today, so rubinreport.locals.com, about 30 seconds after the show. | ||
| And quick reminder, next week, heading to Budapest, Hungary... | ||
| On the Don't Burn This World Tour, I will be at the Danube Institute. | ||
| We're doing a live Rubin Report. | ||
| I've got like 10 or 15 guests. | ||
| It's a two or three hour bonanza. | ||
| I think a couple tickets are still available. | ||
| That's May 29th. | ||
| May 30th, if you want to join us also in Budapest, I will be at CPAC June 2nd. | ||
| Then we jump over to Israel for about a week. | ||
| I'll be in Tel Aviv on June 2nd and June 4th in Jerusalem. | ||
| And then later in the year, Australia and a bunch of other things that we'll be adding. | ||
| Throughout the year. | ||
| And there is a QR code on your screen. | ||
| What you do with it, I have no idea. | ||
| But look, it's got all those different little boxes and... | ||
| Organized shapes there. | ||
| And I think if you scan it, something pops up. | ||
| Who the hell knows? | ||
| It's the Internet, people. | ||
| We do have a Rubin Report community Q&A for the second half of today's show. | ||
| And the first half, we're just going to catch up on a whole bunch of stuff, including what happened at the White House over the course of the last 36 or so hours, because the president of South Africa came to the White House and Donald Trump revamped 2.0 Donald Trump. | ||
| Trump 47, this guy is just taking no prisoners, and his hair was particularly fluffy and nice. | ||
| They're doing something with the whole machinery up there that's really excellent right now. | ||
| And he just smacked this guy down, because obviously, joking aside for a moment, there's a really horrific situation unfolding in South Africa that we've been talking about a little bit And obviously with the history of apartheid, it's just messy and it doesn't quite fit the normal racial narrative that the media likes. | ||
| So you can see how the media is kind of trying to push the story aside. | ||
| And actually later today, just in a couple hours, South African businessman Rob Herzob, who I had on the show when we were at ARK in London in February, and he's become one of the leading... | ||
| I would say people throughout all of South Africa going around the world talking about what is happening to his country. | ||
| He'll be here in studio. | ||
| And the first interview I did with him, Elon tweeted out a couple of times and it got millions and millions of views. | ||
| South Africa was trending. | ||
| I mean, there's really something crazy happening in South Africa. | ||
| I think it's worth focusing on because... | ||
| When you see a place that has gone off the deep end with racial hatred, perhaps that could be a warning of what we might be walking into if we don't eliminate whatever is left of this woke ideology and everything else. | ||
| And then we'll do a bunch more about a couple of jihadist members of Congress and the usual stuff. | ||
| So let's start with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. | ||
| Who went to the White House yesterday, and he was asked, is this white genocide of the South African farmers, who largely are white, is it true? | ||
| And this will kick us off, and fireworks ensued. | ||
| You'll see. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What does it take for you to be convinced that there's no white genocide in South Africa? | |
| Well, I can answer that for President. | ||
| It will take President Trump listening to the voices of South Africans, some of whom are his good friends, like those who are here. | ||
| When we have talks between us around a quiet table, it will take President Trump to listen to them. | ||
| I'm not going to be repeating what I've been saying. | ||
| I would say if there was Afrikaner farmer genocide, I can bet you these three gentlemen would not be here, including my Minister of Agriculture. | ||
| He would not be with me. | ||
| So it will take him, President Trump, listening to their stories. | ||
| Okay, so we didn't get to the fireworks yet. | ||
| First, I hope you noticed that Donald Trump's hair, it's particularly fluffy and light, almost like a large, super-sized fries at McDonald's. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now... | |
| Before we get into the genocide part, let me just give you a quick one-liner definition on what genocide actually is, because a lot of what's happening here is like the whittling of terms. | ||
| You know, you can kill a lot of people. | ||
| Does that mean it's genocide specifically? | ||
| So the basic definition of genocide that most people go with is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or... | ||
| Now, we hear a lot of claims of genocide. | ||
| For example, South Africa, as it pertained to the International Criminal Court, was accusing Israel of genocide while they're in a war trying to save their own people. | ||
| And if Hamas would only release the hostages, the war would end. | ||
| But let's put that aside for the moment. | ||
| Is and has there been deliberate... | ||
| Killing of white South Africans, and is it being cheered on by members of the South African government? | ||
| I think that's the way we could frame it. | ||
| Now, let's put aside the specific definition of genocide for a moment. | ||
| But is there a targeted killing? | ||
| I think that's the best way to frame this thing. | ||
| So Trump hears that. | ||
| So there's the South African president basically saying, no, that's not happening. | ||
| And look, these guys wouldn't even be with me here if it was happening. | ||
| And then Trump, because this is Trump 2.0, this is an upgraded version of Trump, he did something very similar. | ||
| To what he did with Zelensky in the Oval Office a couple of months ago when Zelensky came in and was kind of stammering and yammering and everything else and Trump just kind of went at him. | ||
| Well, this time Trump came with receipts. | ||
| You know, I love when they come and they go on shows like when Ted Cruz went on The View and they were asking him, you know, about systemic racism and he like busts out the receipts right here. | ||
| Well, Trump not only busted out the receipts, he didn't just go with the notes. | ||
| He went with actual video, audio and pictures. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
| I could show you a couple of things, and I would... | ||
| I just... | ||
| I have to... | ||
| It has to be responded to. | ||
| Let me see the articles, please, if you would. | ||
| And, excuse me, turn the lights down. | ||
| Turn the lights down and just put this on. | ||
| It's right behind you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's nothing this parliament can do. | |
| With or without you, people are going to occupy land. | ||
| We require no permission from you, from the president, from no one. | ||
| We don't care. | ||
| We can do whatever you want to do. | ||
| Who are you to tell us whether you can occupy land or not? | ||
| Who are going to occupy land? | ||
| South Africa, occupy land. | ||
| That's who I am. | ||
| It has never been scared to kill. | ||
| A revolution demands that at some point there must be killing because the killing is part of a revolution act. | ||
| So to kill NASA, kill the poor, the former, kill the poor, the former. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So we'll have more on the Kill the Boar song that seems to have taken off in certain sectors of South African society. | ||
| I want to preface all of this by saying I'm not pretending to sit here and be an expert in everything that's going on in South Africa. | ||
| I'm learning about it in real time, as you are probably. | ||
| And what I think the magic of Trump here... | ||
| And partly the reason they always hated him was not because Trump was a racist, right? | ||
| But it was Trump knew how to do what he did right there. | ||
| He understands the show portion of this. | ||
| So here you have, undoubtedly, I don't think anyone's debating whether white farmers are being killed. | ||
| I don't think anyone honest is debating whether white farmers are being killed in South Africa at inordinate numbers and their land is being taken away. | ||
| Then you have the president of South Africa that comes in and basically says, no, this is not a genocide. | ||
| Now, again, he might just be playing with the word genocide. | ||
| He's not denying that these people aren't being killed, right? | ||
| Then Trump comes in and he shows videos of members of parliament And of course, that is to the backdrop of a country that's only a few decades off apartheid and everything else. | ||
| It doesn't excuse you from killing people today, but it gives a little context, I would say. | ||
| Trump then went further because then he started showing articles out of South Africa that are calling for the death of white South Africans. | ||
| These are articles over the last few days. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Death of people. | |
| Death. | ||
| Horrible death. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Death. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| To pick anyone, white South Africans are fleeing because of the violence and racist laws. | ||
| And this is all. | ||
| I mean, I'll give these to you. | ||
| So when you say, what would I like to do? | ||
| I don't know what to do. | ||
| Just look at this. | ||
| White South African couples say that they were attacked violently. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I could do that. | |
| Look, here's burial sites all over the place. | ||
| These are all white farmers that are being buried. | ||
| You know, just to personalize this for a second, I have family from South Africa, and most of them have left. | ||
| Some of them are Holland, some of them are in the United States now, and a few of them are in Israel. | ||
| There's a limited amount of places that you can go. | ||
| So, okay, so Trump, again, bringing the receipts. | ||
| I'm really trying to give the devil his due here. | ||
| So they're killing these people. | ||
| He's showing you articles of it. | ||
| He's showing you video of the ramped up rhetoric, which we have right here in the United States right now, which we'll get to in a moment. | ||
| But that doesn't necessarily mean genocide. | ||
| That's why I'm trying not to get hung up on the word genocide. | ||
| But now I want to show you the difference between what happens when the president of South Africa... | ||
| Let's just say his hands are not perfectly clean, if we're trying to be as fair as possible. | ||
| The difference between when he shows up with Donald Trump, as we just showed you, versus when he showed up and chatted with, well, an elderly man who was pretending to be president, who we actually don't know if he was really the president or doing any of the things. | ||
| But he was a man, let's just say an older man, who he was sitting with in that same room that he was just sitting with Donald Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How magnificent I think your country is. | |
| I spent some time in my campaign, which lasted for years, against apartheid to visit your country, and it's magnificent. | ||
| And, you know, it's an honor to welcome you to the White House. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've been looking forward to this for a while. | |
| The United States and South Africa and your governments have the same value set. | ||
| You know, I've long been inspired by the long struggle of freedom and justice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And one of the great moments of my career was when the first time Nelson Mandela came to the United States. | |
| He invited us a thank you because he heard I had been stopped trying to get to visit him and to see him in prison. | ||
| These are burial sites right here. | ||
| Burial sites. | ||
| Over a thousand of white farmers, and those cars are lined up to pay love on a Sunday morning. | ||
| Each one of those white things you see is a cross, and there's approximately a thousand of them. | ||
| They're all white farmers, the family of white farmers. | ||
| Okay, so I'm going to quickly do a fact check of Donald Trump there. | ||
| But first, you can already see the difference, right? | ||
| So this guy comes... | ||
| To the United States, sits in the Oval Office with Joe Biden. | ||
| And Joe Biden, of course, talks about the history of Nelson Mandela and blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And that's all just fine and good and great, right? | ||
| But there's no criticism. | ||
| And this has been going on for years with the white farmers, the taking of land. | ||
| And the murder and all of this stuff. | ||
| But there's no commentary on any of that. | ||
| Then Trump comes in, it's very different. | ||
| But I do want to fact-check Trump on something there, because those crosses actually don't each represent a death. | ||
| They were temporarily displayed during a protest procession over the murders of Glenn and Vida Rafferty, who were killed on their farm in Normandy, and that's according to ABC News. | ||
| So not every single one of those was a death. | ||
| And it's a little unclear, we did some checking before the show, to figure out exactly how... | ||
| How many deaths have occurred? | ||
| But now I thought this was interesting. | ||
| This is about 15 seconds long. | ||
| Elon Musk was there. | ||
| You know, he's stepping away from his duties at Doge, but he is going to be involved to some extent with the government. | ||
| And of course, he is South African. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Elon Musk is an African-American. | ||
| And he is not happy with what has happened to his former country and the way they are treating white people there. | ||
| And watch this video, about 15 seconds, little audio that's going to up the emotion a bit, just as you see him stare down the president of South Africa. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Tremendous complaints about Africa, about other countries too, from people. | |
| They say there's a lot of bad things going on in Africa, and that's what we're going to be discussing today. | ||
| When you say we don't take that, all you have to do is take a look at the Southern border. | ||
| We let 21 million people come to the top border. | ||
| All right, so again, as a non-expert in this, I will be sitting down with South African businessman Rob Herzog shortly today, and we'll have that up next week while we're traveling. | ||
| I want to learn more about this. | ||
| I will continue to learn more and I will try to present it as honestly as possible. | ||
| But I think if nothing else, what your takeaway could be right now is clearly something bad is happening in South Africa. | ||
| It doesn't matter the skin color of anyone. | ||
| If people are being targeted and they're white, it's bad because they're white. | ||
| And if people are targeted because they're black, it's bad because, you know what I mean? | ||
| Like, we all get all of that. | ||
| And clearly that is happening there. | ||
| But I guess maybe the meta version of what's going on here is that we just have a very, very different United States of America right now. | ||
| Donald Trump and this administration is a 180 from the previous administration, which, again, we don't even know who was running. | ||
| Here's Fox's Peter Doocy on that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's worth pointing out that is definitely the most awkward Oval Office meeting since Zelensky was here. | |
| It ended a little bit better because I can see the vehicle. | ||
| It is not leaving. | ||
| The South African delegation is not leaving early. | ||
| They will be sticking around for lunch. | ||
| But really, when you watch that, it seems like the Trump foreign policy doctrine is a lot like the old slogan for the MTV show The Real World, where people stop being polite and start getting real. | ||
| And that's what we just saw from the president. | ||
| So that seemingly is the difference here, right? | ||
| Or literally is the difference here. | ||
| We had an administration for four years, which again, we didn't know who was in charge, that countries just could kind of roll over us and we would have these nonsensical press conferences where, you know, it's funny in the... | ||
| Biden portion we showed you a moment ago, he was like fairly lucid for Biden. | ||
| They were like, I'll give him credit for that. | ||
| But in many of the meetings was not. | ||
| You saw the G7 things where he's wandering off and all of that stuff. | ||
| No one knew who was in charge. | ||
| No one knew what America stood for. | ||
| Now it is wildly different. | ||
| Now, even though I am willing to grant a little sort of leeway on this or runway on this definition of genocide and whether this is actually a genocide happening there, I think partly the reason I'm focused I know you guys love these. | ||
| I love them, too. | ||
| This is a spectacular compilation of mainstream media yesterday. | ||
| And it's interesting how they're all saying the exact same word when it comes to what happened between Donald Trump and the South African president. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The dramatic scene in the Oval Office today, the tense confrontation, President Trump ambushing the president of South Africa. | |
| Next, another Oval Office meltdown, President Trump ambushing the president of South Africa. | ||
| President Trump is being accused of conducting something of a diplomatic ambush of South Africa's president in the Oval Office. | ||
| To be with you, I'm Katie Turr. | ||
| President Trump orchestrated another Oval Office ambush today. | ||
| Today, Donald Trump meeting with the president of South Africa and attempting to ambush and humiliate. | ||
| That leader. | ||
| Zelensky territory, where essentially he was a bit ambushed inside the Oval Office. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Felt like an ambush in there, kind of like the President Zelensky meeting in the Oval Office. | |
| This was an ambush. | ||
| It was orchestrated. | ||
| Daryl Ramaphosa brought his best diplomatic self to this meeting, but nothing could have prepared him for this multimedia ambush. | ||
| What started as... | ||
| To some degree, an ambush. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Katie, I mean, it was an ambush. | |
| Ambush. | ||
| Ambushed. | ||
| Ambushed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ambushed inside the Oval Office. | |
| There was an ambush, and it was orchestrated, but it's an ambush of Donald Trump by you people. | ||
| Like, if you want to see something orchestrated, just look at that. | ||
| It is possible that a few of those people might have... | ||
| Well, they read scripts, right? | ||
| They don't come up with this stuff. | ||
| Someone hands them a script and they read it off paper or off a teleprompter. | ||
| But it is possible that a few people wrote Ambush. | ||
| It is not possible that all of these mainstream media people, having nothing to do with each other, all suddenly started saying Ambush. | ||
| There's so many other... | ||
| I mean, look at this. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| This is all, for those of you listening on the audio podcast now, here's a bunch of headlines. | ||
| You got Daily News. | ||
| You got The Telegraph. | ||
| You got Yahoo News. | ||
| You got CNN. | ||
| You got NPR. | ||
| You got BBC. | ||
| I think the independents there. | ||
| Michigan. | ||
| And Pulse, that's a big one, all say ambushes. | ||
| It's all ambush and ambushes. | ||
| There's a zillion other ways you could write that. | ||
| Donald Trump confronts, right? | ||
| Like we could do a long list of adjectives that you could do there. | ||
| So something about, we've all been through this, guys, right? | ||
| We've been through the laundry list of phrases that launder through the system to make you think something. | ||
| So that seems to be one thing that they're doing here. | ||
| So again, Why am I focused on this? | ||
| Well, it's partly like, oh, we're watching a media coordination on Donald Trump. | ||
| That shows me that they're trying. | ||
| It's the shell game, so I'm going to look, actually, not at the word ambush, but what is it that they are trying to hide? | ||
| Now, we showed you a portion when Donald Trump showed the South African president that video. | ||
| There's this song that's hot. | ||
| It's a hot song. | ||
| It's like a real Katy Perry banger. | ||
| Is Katy Perry still cool? | ||
| Who's cool now? | ||
| Who's cool now? | ||
| Anyone cool now? | ||
| Who? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Playboy Cardi. | |
| Playboy Cardi? | ||
| That's a person? | ||
| I have no idea who that is. | ||
| Is that a real person? | ||
| You know this person? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She's cool. | ||
| That's a girl? | ||
| It's a guy. | ||
| I'm getting old, really. | ||
| Well, what's the difference between a guy and a girl? | ||
| Who the hell knows? | ||
| Anyway, there's this song, Kill the Boar, that a lot of these people have been singing. | ||
| In essence, it's Kill the White. | ||
| And this has put a little bit of, like, you know, a pin in CNN's reporting here, because it's tough to be like, oh, no, everything's fine, but the hottest song is Kill the White Guy. | ||
| Here is CNN trying to explain the song with a little additional context. | ||
| Larry, there has been debate over that song. | ||
| That anti-apartheid chant, right? | ||
| And for people who don't have a historical context, it does potentially appear more literal. | ||
| Talk to us about the debate that has happened inside of South Africa with the recognition of how it appears to people when they hear those words. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There are many who grew up under those years of white minority rule who understand the historical context of their song, Kill the Boar, Kill the Farmer, that Julius Malema has made popular again. | |
| It sort of fell into disuse. | ||
| It's not been that commonly sung after the end of apartheid in 1994, but it's brought it back again to re- Okay, so let's not do a total history of apartheid South Africa, but the song was popular as... | ||
| Apartheid was ending. | ||
| I'll grant them that. | ||
| And now this guy has brought it back to reanimate that. | ||
| Well, if you start reanimating all of the hatred, and I don't know, if the word, say, kill the guy is right in the song, it might be a bit of a problem. | ||
| Now, interestingly, we did a little fact-checking ourselves since CNN's doing some fact-checking on a song. | ||
| It seems like, to me, you wouldn't have to do much fact-checking on a song. | ||
| Kill the boar, right? | ||
| Kill the Christian. | ||
| Kill the Jew. | ||
| It would be pretty straightforward as kind of what you were getting at, whether you were Katy Perry or who? | ||
| Playboy Gonza? | ||
| Who? | ||
| Playboy Carter. | ||
| It wouldn't matter. | ||
| The man shouting kill the boar in the video is Julius Malema, who's leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters. | ||
| He was expelled from the governing African National Congress in 2012. | ||
| Okay, so... | ||
| Probably the guy's got some issues, let's say. | ||
| And again, just singing a song about killing a certain set of people based on their skin color, even if they did some bad stuff. | ||
| So you want to kill the guy's daughter? | ||
| I guess you kind of do. | ||
| Let's jump over to CNN, because they covered this, and Scott Jennings, as always, trying to make some sense with a bunch of people who are running cover for people who want to kill the boar. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cue up, Scott and the retards. | |
| *Music* | ||
| I mean... | ||
| You're saying it's not true that some white farmers have been murdered? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, it's not true that there is a genocide against white farmers. | |
| Okay, whatever you call it, have white farmers been murdered? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Actually, how many... | |
| Have violence been committed against white farmers? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hold on a second. | |
| How many white farmers have been murdered in South Africa? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Several. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, they ask... | |
| No, no. | ||
| How many? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Several. | ||
| I know why you don't know. | ||
| Because those numbers don't exist broken down by race. | ||
| I mean, I know this. | ||
| I wouldn't trust the South African government to tell me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know that. | |
| How many black farmers have been murdered in South Africa? | ||
| Look... | ||
| You guys are so triggered over 59 people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| After we left 20 million people in the country. | ||
| I don't know why you're so triggered over them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I haven't even brought up the people, the white people that Trump picked out because they were white and told them they could come to the country. | |
| How much racial killing are you going to condone? | ||
| Okay, so first up, as I always say, Abby Phillips, she's just like the dimmest bulb on television, right? | ||
| I don't think she's racist the way I think Sonny Hostin's racist. | ||
| I don't think she's evil the way I think that Anna Navarro's evil or like mentally unhinged and stoned like Whoopi. | ||
| She's just dim. | ||
| Like you just look in her eyes and she's dim. | ||
| And you know she'd be taking the complete opposite position if the skin color was different. | ||
| But she is sort of hitting a point that I made up the top. | ||
| I don't want to get lost in the word genocide. | ||
| In this case, because in some sense, it's irrelevant. | ||
| If there's a targeted killing of this group of people who largely happen to be white farmers, it's not good. | ||
| That's what Scott's trying to say, right? | ||
| So they just do this shell game with everything. | ||
| We do have a little bit more info on some of the numbers, if you want some of them. | ||
| Pull the tweet up here. | ||
| So this is from a Twitter account, but we'll give you a little context. | ||
| From Latink's adjacent doctor, it's sort of a funny name, but white farmers make up 44,000 people in South Africa, or 0.066 of the population, less than 1% of the population. | ||
| So white farmers are being murdered at a rate... | ||
| 1,500% of their population. | ||
| It's the literal definition of racial violence. | ||
| And then what the account is doing is retweeting PBS News, which says white farmers have been murdered in South Africa, but those murders account for less than 1% of more than 27,000 annual murders nationwide. | ||
| Experts said the deaths do not amount to genocide, and President Donald Trump misleads about land confiscation. | ||
| Leave that up for just a second. | ||
| So what PBS is doing... | ||
| It's not that PBS is lying, but it's the subtext because they're not giving you enough context. | ||
| So what they're saying is white farmers have been murdered. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| No one's denying that, as I said up top. | ||
| But that number is less than 1% of the total murders, except if you take up the fact that there are 44,000 people that are white farmers in South Africa, it's less than 1%. | ||
| So the murder rate is 1,500% higher than the population rate. | ||
| Again. | ||
| Whether you want to call that genocide, it seems a little genocide-y, actually, if a specific racial group is being killed at 1,500% its population. | ||
| Like, it seems a kind of genocide-y, especially to the backdrop of Shakita Bonanza singing Kill the Bores. | ||
| This reminds me of this line that we've shown you many, many times over the last year or so from Elon Musk. | ||
| You are the media now, so you can either trust... | ||
| You can either trust all of the people that we just show the boxes again, the headlines again, just real quick. | ||
| Can you just throw back to that quick? | ||
| You can either trust all of those people who coordinate all of this messaging. | ||
| And I'm not saying everything in all of those articles is a lie. | ||
| I'm not. | ||

| Or you can try to get some truth by pilfering through... | ||
| The digital landscape. | ||
| And that's what I'm trying to do, again, as a non-expert in this. | ||

| We'll connect this to something really horrific that happened in Washington, D.C. last night, back here on our shores. | ||
| But first, gravity to fire. | ||

| Okay, so back here on our shores, something quite horrific happened yesterday in Washington, D.C. We've got this from the AP, and you'll see how this is connected to the previous story. | ||
| Two staff members of the Israeli embassy in Washington were shot and killed Wednesday evening when leaving an event at a Jewish museum, and the suspect yelled, free, free Palestine. | ||
| After he was arrested, police said. | ||
| Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar identified the victims as Yaron Lashinsky and Sarah Milgram. | ||
| Lashinsky was a research assistant, and Milgram organized visits and missions to Israel. | ||
| They were leaving an event at the Capitol Jewish Museum when the suspect approached. | ||
| A group of four people in open fire, Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said at a news conference. | ||
| Now, before we get into a little more specifics about those two people, and at least one part of this will... | ||
| Either surprise you or not surprise you, but it's an interesting note to the story. | ||
| Here, they did catch the shooter. | ||
| The shooter did not get killed after. | ||
| And here is this disgusting, awful human being who is a... | ||
| Now they're already researching his Twitter accounts and everything. | ||
| I mean, he's a far-left maniac. | ||
| His name is Elias Rodriguez. | ||
| And here he is being taken into custody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| You have enough? | ||
| You have enough? | ||
| Free, free Palestine! | ||
| All right, so that evil jihadist who just murdered two innocent people, he will not free Palestine. | ||
| And if he wants to free Palestine, he means free it from Hamas because Palestine was never a country. | ||
| And if you mean Palestine... | ||
| What you mean, I think, is the British mandate of Palestine, which is Israel, and okay, fine, we don't have to do the history lesson here. | ||
| The interesting side note of all of this is you might go, oh, well, those were two, it sounds like those were two Israelis. | ||
| That means they're Jews who were at the Jewish Museum, as if somehow that would make this... | ||
| More easy to swallow or something. | ||
| Well, it actually turns out that Yaron Lashinsky, one of the people who was killed, the male who was killed, actually was a Christian. | ||
| He tweeted this out. | ||
| We're grabbing the tweet right now. | ||
| There, we got it. | ||
| He tweeted this out. | ||
| This is obviously a couple of years ago. | ||
| So this is before... | ||
| No, this is right after October 7. No, no, no. | ||
| Sorry, this is before October 7th. | ||
| He wrote, Israel is the only place in the Middle East where Christians can thrive. | ||
| Not perfect, but livable, speaking as a Christian myself. | ||
| As for the rest of the Middle East, I would say it depends on what direction the Muslim world develops, more moderate or more fundamentalist. | ||
| Let's put aside the large context of the tweet. | ||
| I just think it's an interesting side note here that he was a Christian. | ||
| He happened to be a supporter of Israel. | ||
| There's literally hundreds of millions of people like that. | ||
| But a Christian was killed. | ||
| And here is where I would nudge some of my, let's say, colleagues or co-online creators on the right who have been very critical, I would say, of Israel, unnecessarily so. | ||
| You might want to at least defend this Christian man, if nothing else, right? | ||
| If it had been two Jews and you maybe wouldn't have covered the story, it was a Christian in this case. | ||
| And now if you want to see something truly... | ||
| Where's the puke bucket? | ||
| I'm going to need the puke bucket for this one because I may actually puke on this one. | ||
| If you want to see something disgusting, Ilhan Omar, who is a jihadist, she should not be a... | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Here's the Ilhan Omar puke bucket, which I'll be using in just a moment. | ||
| Ilhan Omar, who is a jihadist, she is not a, well, let's say she's not an America-loving citizen of this country, although she is a citizen. | ||
| She is here to wreak havoc and destroy this country. | ||
| There is just simply no doubt about it. | ||
| She was asked to comment on the shooting of these two people. | ||
| Now, the level, before I even, you know what, just play it, play it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Congresswoman Omar, can I get your reaction to the shooting that happened in D.C. last night? | |
| I'm going to go for now. | ||
| I'm going to go for now, Mark. | ||
| Couldn't even say condolences for the family. | ||
| It is so absolutely extraordinary. | ||
| I almost don't know what to do other than I will use the Ohan Omar puke bucket, but not on camera because I don't want to put you people through that. | ||
| Do you understand all she had to do? | ||
| It does not matter what you think about Israel or Gaza or Hamas. | ||
| Or the Jews or the Muslims or the Christians or anything else. | ||
| Two people were murdered in the city that she's walking around in right there, probably within a mile of where she's at, right there. | ||
| Right? | ||
| She's at the capital and the museum is probably right there, within probably a quarter of a mile. | ||
| Someone walks up here, can you just say something about it? | ||
| All she has to say is, well, you know, you shouldn't kill people. | ||
| She didn't even have to say, yeah, you shouldn't kill Jews. | ||
| You shouldn't kill Israelis. | ||
| She didn't have to go that far. | ||
| That would be a bridge too far for a jihadist like her. | ||
| But you could just go, you know, shooting people on the streets. | ||
| I don't know, right near the Capitol and the White House and everything. | ||
| She could not even do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She is a vile jihadist cunt. | |
| That is what she is. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| No, I'm not sorry, actually. | ||
| I'm going to say it again. | ||
| Ilhan Omar is a vile jihadist cunt. | ||
| She wants people to die and she is ushering in a racial situation in this country that is the complete antithesis of what America stood for. | ||
| Everyone's ancestors came here to put aside the tribal shit. | ||
| And you can have your beliefs and all of those things. | ||
| You guys all know that. | ||
| She is here to usher it back in. | ||
| If you cannot, forgetting as a congresswoman, as a decent human being, if two random people, random people, it does not matter what they believe. | ||
| If I heard a story of two random people who walked out of a, let's say, Lebanese falafel shop in Miami and got shot, and someone yelled, whatever. | ||
| And someone said to me, Dave, how do you feel about that? | ||
| You can't kill people. | ||
| It has nothing to do with their political beliefs or anything else. | ||
| So can I just, one more time, one more time? | ||
| Ilhan Omar is a vile jihadist. | ||
|

See you next Tuesday, lady. | |
| Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a great man. | ||
| And he has consistently proven that he is a great man. | ||
| And he is getting better. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| So it's not that horrible. | ||
| Sorry, it's not that difficult. | ||
| To do something like this. | ||
| You could have tried this, Delhan. | ||
| These horrible D.C. killings, based obviously on anti-Semitism, must end now. | ||
| Hatred and radicalism have no place in the USA. | ||
| Condolences to the victims. | ||
| So sad that such things can happen. | ||
| God bless you all. | ||
| And yeah, look, the guy was obviously just trying to kill a couple Jews, happened to kill a Christian, and, you know, she can't even condemn that. | ||
| Absolutely disgusting. | ||
| I can't look at this anymore. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| Charlie Kirk from Turning Point USA, who over the years I've done many, many events with, and we used to do colleges together, and I think he's just become, really, I'm really, as someone that's a little older than Charlie, I'm really proud of what Charlie has become. | ||
| I think he's fighting for all of the right things and doing it really, really well. | ||
| He's been all over the world lately, but he's been across the pond over the last couple weeks. | ||
| Fighting for American values, fighting for the Trump agenda, fighting for America first, fighting for the Western world's existence. | ||
| Here he is on GB News explaining that we are at civilizational odds right now. | ||
| We better freaking figure it out. | ||
| It's difficult to talk about, but we better figure this out, or otherwise this experiment is over. | ||
| The question is, is macro-Islam compatible with Western values? | ||
| Macro. | ||
| Of course it's not. | ||
| There are three major reasons why. | ||
| Islam does not believe in freedom of speech. | ||
| Islam does not believe in freedom of religion. | ||
| And Islam does not believe in separation of mosque and state. | ||
| Those three things are antithetical to the West. | ||
| In a Muslim-majority country, most Muslim-majority countries, you cannot criticize the Prophet Muhammad. | ||
| In most Muslim-majority countries, you do not have the same robust freedom of religion protections. | ||
| And finally, whereas we in the West are very careful to try to intermix religion and state, they are commanded to actually go into the state and try to change the state to be more Islamic around the core pillars of Islam. | ||
| And the last thing I'll finally say is I cannot see a single Western country that has become more Islamic and has become a better place to live that is happier or freer. | ||
| Yeah, and not only is all of that true, he's right there in the UK saying it. | ||
| And I'm telling you, I've told you before, when I was in London, well, the last couple times I was in London, but when I was in London in February, everybody. | ||
| Everybody was talking about what has happened to their country. | ||
| And there are signs in Arabic everywhere. | ||
| There are mosques going up everywhere. | ||
| And there are women in burqas everywhere. | ||
| And in and of itself, people can choose to pray to who they want to pray to. | ||
| If you want to wear, as Bill Maher calls it, the beekeeper costume and keep your woman so you could just see her eyes and nothing else, probably not that fair to her. | ||
| But if that's what you want to do, okay, fine. | ||
| But once you start projecting that onto everyone else and making sure no one else can criticize that and start instituting Sets of ideas that are antithetical to Western beliefs and liberal values which are being defended by conservatives like Charlie, then we have a problem. | ||
| And also, as it pertains to criticizing the Prophet Muhammad, it's not just that you can't do it in Muslim countries. | ||
| Try doing it in London and see what happens. | ||
| Try doing it in Sweden and see what happens. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| It will not go that well. | ||
| It will not. | ||
| But to the slight counter of that, I will say there are places like the UAE and even a bit of what's happening in Saudi Arabia. | ||
| And the Gulf states that are modernizing and they're dealing with jihadism in a way that we here in the West seem to refuse to. | ||
| Then watch this. | ||
| This was by far the best clip that I saw yesterday online. | ||
| This is Kirk at the University of Cambridge doing a debate and a child here who looks a little bit like a deranged hobbit. | ||
| If a hobbit was on meth, this is what you'd get. | ||
| And he asked him about Israel and Hamas. | ||
| So this is Meth Hobbit versus Charlie Kirk. | ||
| Are they equally? | ||
|
unidentified
|
There is no justification for the murder and mutilation of thousands of innocent people and children. | |
| There is no justification, Mr. Kirk, for invading hospitals. | ||
| For bombing innocent populations and dragging out a war which is damaging Israel and the West. | ||
| You've made that point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not a point, it's a moral truth, isn't it? | |
| It was also a moral truth that the war started because 1,300 Jews were killed and 200 were taken hostage. | ||
| And when you declare war on Israel, expect a firestorm in reaction. | ||
| Let me finish, I let you talk. | ||
| Israel, at its holiest day... | ||
| Of the calendar year besides Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah, Samat Torah, the 50-year anniversary of the Six-Day War. | ||
| On Shabbat, Hamas invaded Israel, deciding to go recklessly to music concerts, to homes, to kibbutzes, and taking 200-plus hostages. | ||
| They knew what they were doing. | ||
| In one of the most cloistered urban environments on the planet, two million people live in a place where it's impossible to wage war. | ||
| Impossible. | ||
| Where they wear civilian clothing, they violate every tenant of the Geneva Convention, and the IDF, when they do something right, they get no credit. | ||
| When they do life-saving surgeries of a Gazan child, they get no credit. | ||
| When they drop leaflets, they get no credit. | ||
| But when they happen to bomb a place where they are operating their military from, which we now know from third-party verified sources, hundreds of Hamas military operations are in mosques, schools, and hospitals. | ||
| A child who knows that Israel is the good guy, Hamas is bad, has a lot more wisdom. | ||
| Charlie Kirk, one. | ||
| Meth Hobbit, zero. | ||
| I would just also like... | ||
| I mean, Charlie, he just is great, and I just love, you know... | ||
| The weird thing being in the business that I'm in, where after all these years, it's like I see some people that I know that I thought were great, and they've kind of become not great, or they disappear. | ||
| Sometimes good people disappear. | ||
| Sometimes bad people kind of rise. | ||
| There's all mixes of it, and any of you can make your judgment on how my career has gone. | ||
| But Charlie has just consistently, I think, just been on the right side of things and fought hard and hard and hard, and it's not easy to do all the time. | ||
| Okay, so credit there. | ||
| But I would also say to The Meth Hobbit that, and he was very fidgety, too, because... | ||
| Because a hobbit doesn't need much meth. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| They need a half dose. | ||
| But I would also say to the meth hobbit, meth hobbit, if you're, let's say you were in the Shire with your hobbit family. | ||
| And a bunch of jihadists broke in, and they raped your hobbit sister, and they murdered your hobbit mother, and then they kidnapped your hobbit father, and then they burned down the rest of the Shire and all that, and they brought a couple, your kidnapped sister and everything, and they brought them over to this other place, and then they buried them underground, and then they kept schools on top of it and everything. | ||
| Well, Meth Hobbit, what do you think the proper reaction would be? | ||
| There actually would be no more moral thing than for you guys to... | ||
| To save your people. | ||
| A nation state exists to defend its people. | ||
| A nation state does not exist to defend other people. | ||
| So you gotta get that in your head, Meth Hobbit. | ||
| Let me see the Meth Hobbit one more time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Meth Hobbit, can we just quickly back to the Meth Hobbit? | |
| That is Meth Hobbit. | ||
| Oh, and I've interviewed the guy standing behind him. | ||
| Who was that? | ||
| I interviewed him in London. | ||
| Who is that? | ||
| Yeah, that's... | ||
| We'll get it. | ||
| We'll get it. | ||
| James Orr, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Anyway, great work, Charlie. | ||
| Meth Hobbit. | ||
| You know what, Meth Hobbit, if you want to do the show and explain that stuff to me, you're welcome to. | ||
| Now let's continue because all of these, you can just see that these things are connected. | ||
| If we are going to unearth ancient hatreds, if we are going to call good bad and bad good and all of the things that we do backwards, we are going to reverse the... | ||
| I don't know, let's say 300-year project post-enlightenment when we put much of this ancient hatred stuff down. | ||
| Now, there's a certain set of people that want to bring it back. | ||
| It's the Marxists and the jihadists, and they're working together. | ||
| That's why the Ilhan Omar jihadist types love the retarded, genderqueer, penis-vagina people. | ||
| What a show we're doing today. | ||
| I got thumbs up from Joseph there. | ||
| More with the penis and the vagina! | ||
| Let's jump over to Columbia, because it's a bastion of our psychosis here in America. | ||
| Columbia University, I'm talking about, of course. | ||
| And they had their graduation, so these are... | ||
| Children who paid off in, you know, 80, 100 grand a year to go to Colombia to learn how to wear the keffiyeh, which someone I saw a meme this morning, it said the keffiyeh is basically the hipster swastika. | ||
| That's what I'm going to refer to it now. | ||
| But the whole place has just become just a cesspool of anti-American evil. | ||
| And some interesting things happened here because here's the Colombia president giving a speech at graduation and she's mourning the absence of Khalil, of Mohammed Khalil and some stuff. | ||
| But some of the audience is not with her, which makes you think that... | ||
| Maybe some kids in college actually have brains. | ||
| I'll be damned. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And let me also say that we firmly believe that our international students have the same rights to freedom of speech as everyone else, and they should not be targeted by the government for exercising that right. | |
| And let me also say that I know many in our community today are mourning the absence of our graduate Mahmoud Khalil. | ||
| United States in uniform. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Good morning class of 2025. | ||
| I have to say, you know, we have a running joke on this show that I'll never hire a college graduate, and I really try to stand by that as much as possible. | ||
| Freaking fantastic that those kids who went to that school, hopefully, the bulk of them, right? | ||
| Because it is the bulk of them that went to that school to get an education and actually learn things. | ||
| That they're booing that bitch. | ||
| Like, that is fantastic. | ||
| She's upset that Mahmoud Khalil is not there. | ||
| He was leading protests that stopped Jewish kids from being able to go on campus. | ||
| That led to literally a hostage situation with two Hispanic janitors. | ||
| Why don't you care about them who are now suing the university? | ||
| Who were chanting for genocide and all of the stuff. | ||
| So there were kids. | ||
| Imagine you spend four years, you spend all of that money going to Colombia. | ||
| Then the circus that goes around your university and you now know it's stained on you because you're going to walk out of college with that degree, which most of the Hamas kids just burn up anyway, but you're going to try to get a job. | ||
| And you're going to go to a big company, like a Fortune 500 company, and they're going to be like, where did you go to college? | ||
| Well, I went to Colombia. | ||
| And then... | ||
| A huge amount of people are going to be like, you know what, I'm not interested in hiring you, even though you might have been one of the good ones. | ||
| You might have been one of the ones booing there. | ||
| So there's a reason they're booing, because that disgusting woman has led a movement that has, in essence, burned her university down, figuratively. | ||
| They'd like to do it literally, but figuratively. | ||
| So you've got this collection of people. | ||
| You've got your Columbia presidents, and you've got your Ilhan Omars, and then there is this woman. | ||
| This one, we're working on a great meme about her. | ||
| We're going to get out later today. | ||
| I'm very excited about it. | ||
| I won't tease it too much. | ||
| But there is this woman, Pramila Jayapal. | ||
| She is horrible. | ||
| Like, it's obvious. | ||
| You know, you got the Ilhan puke bucket. | ||
| We know that. | ||
| AOC. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| But Jayapal is really just, like, vying to be number one on the list of who is the most awful. | ||
| So, you know, we showed you some clips yesterday of Marco Rubio at a Senate hearing and a congressional hearing where they're just trying to grill him. | ||
| And he just has become an absolute all-star in dealing with these jihadist and anti-American lunatics. | ||
| So here's Jayapal, because what do Democrats do? | ||
| They always defend the bad guy. | ||
| So here she is going off trying to defend why we're revoking student visas. | ||
| Now, just remember, if you were an American student and you were in literally any other country and you were leading protests against that country, do you think they'd let you stay there? | ||
| We all know the answer. | ||
| But for some reason, in America, you're supposed to get all of our rights and all of our defense. | ||
| while you try to burn the place down. | ||
| Rubio is just not having any of her bullshit. | ||
| A student was a guest in the United States on a student visa. | ||
| No one's entitled to a student visa. | ||
| So you revoked her student visa based on an op-ed which trumps the supreme law of the land, which is the Constitution. | ||
| Someone's coming up here to stir up problems on our campus. | ||
| We're going to revoke their visa. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She didn't do any of that. | |
| She wrote an op-ed. | ||
| She wrote an op-ed, and I'm talking to you about her particular case. | ||
| That's her lawyer's claims and your claims. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Those are not the facts. | |
| Reclaiming my time, you revoked her student visa because she wrote an op-ed. | ||
| And we'll do more. | ||
| We're going to do more of them. | ||
| We will revoke the visa of anyone who's in this country as a guest who's here to stir up trouble. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you going to revoke the visa of somebody who made that statement? | |
| I mean, the case, I'll look at it. | ||
| I'm looking to get crazy people out of our country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Actually, it's not just about revoking. | |
| You actually, Secretary Rubio, excuse me, reclaiming my time. | ||
| If these are legitimate law enforcement agents carrying out proper arrests, why are they hiding their identities? | ||
| Because then radical crazies will try to hurt them. | ||
| So again, what do they do? | ||
| They always defend the bad guys, right? | ||
| You could say whatever you want. | ||
| You start block. | ||
| Well, first off, there is an argument to be said that if you're here on a student visa that you kind of can't say whatever you want, meaning you can't call for genocide and blah, blah, blah. | ||
| But it wasn't that. | ||
| It was the actions. | ||
| They seemed to have no distinction between actions and speech. | ||
| It was blocking kids from school and all of the stupid things that you know that they were doing. | ||
| We did. | ||
| We're working on a video about this, but I will tease it because I'm so excited about it. | ||
| We were able to get an image of Jayapal right before that congressional hearing, right before she put on her makeup. | ||
| So that's the image we got right there. | ||
| And we're going to work with this, and we're working on something very exciting. | ||
| Let's move over to other Democrats. | ||
| Great collection of people. | ||
| These are great people who you'd really like to have over for Thanksgiving because they're wonderful conversationalists and very generous. | ||
| There's nothing like having a Democrat over for dinner. | ||
| This from CBS News, and you know a bit about this story already. | ||
| New Jersey Democratic Representative LaMonica McIver appeared virtually before a federal judge in Newark Wednesday morning after being charged with assault, resisting arrest, and impeding federal officers. | ||
| If convicted, faces eight years in prison and a 200- $50,000 fine. | ||
| McIver is due to appear in court in person on June 11th for a preliminary hearing. | ||
| She's allowed to travel domestically and internationally if needed for her congressional duties, the judge said. | ||
| For a personal international travel, she'll need a court approval. | ||
| She was ordered to surrender any firearms she may own. | ||
| McIver said the charges against her are purely political. | ||
| They mischaracterize and distort my actions and are meant to criminalize and deter legislative oversight. | ||
| Meanwhile, the trespassing charges against Newark Mayor Roz Baraka were formally dropped Wednesday. | ||
| The judge overseeing the case signed the dismissal order. | ||
| Prosecutors had proposed nearly two weeks after he was arrested in the same Delaney Hall incident. | ||
| So this is the woman who showed up. | ||
| To the ICE facility and was pushing officers around and elbowing people and screaming and everything else. | ||
| And if you think that Congress people should have laws that are different than the laws that should apply to you, then I guess she should walk free. | ||
| But if you, yourself, want to walk over to an ICE facility, you know what? | ||
| We're going to send Connor after the show. | ||
| Connor, after lunch, what's for lunch today? | ||
| What's for lunch today? | ||
| A sweet green. | ||
| So he's going to have a nice salad. | ||
| Here's what I want you to do, Connor. | ||
| Have a light lunch. | ||
| Can we find out where the local ICE facility is? | ||
| Joseph's going to get on that. | ||
| We're going to send Connor light lunch. | ||
| Try to just burst into an ICE facility. | ||
| And if they try to get you, I want you to elbow these people and push them out of the way. | ||
| And I'll pay them. | ||
| Obviously, I'll pay the bond and everything. | ||
| It's not a problem. | ||
| And I'm going to guess that they're going to arrest poor Connor over here. | ||
| Speaking of people... | ||
| Poor, well, I don't know. | ||
| There wasn't much of a sec. | ||
| Speaking of poor people, I don't know. | ||
| Speaking of guys who... | ||
| This isn't fair to Connor. | ||
| James Carville's an idiot. | ||
| And he's a Democrat, and he's lost control of his party, and he hates the Democrats now, but he doesn't know what to do. | ||
| And of course, you know the gimmick with James Carver. | ||
| James Carver talked like this, and he's talking like this, so he's talking and you're talking and talking, and people are going, oh my God, he's talking like that. | ||
| He must be saying something, but actually he's just saying words. | ||
| And the more words he said, then people go, oh my God, he must know what he's doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's having to crawfish and the gator. | |
| Here he is saying that MacGyver there, who again tried to burst into an ICE facility and was fighting with ICE agents and elbowing people and pushing people, that the only reason they're going after her is because she's black. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're of the view that you're asserting that the Trump administration or DOJ is targeting her racially. | |
| Why do you assert that? | ||
| Because that's what they're about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they're trying to show it's us against them. | |
| They talk about the blood of America and the poisoning of blood. | ||
| They talk about this kind of stuff. | ||
| Again, let me be very clear. | ||

|
I don't have any proof, but if you ask me, do I think that's what happened? | |
| Yes, I think that's what happened. | ||
|

|
I think if it was a white congressperson, they would not have arrested her. | |
| Can I just say, and maybe as a millennial black woman, I feel very unsettled about... | ||
| This, about the whole scene and the videos that unfolded about the charging of Congresswoman McIver, because it seems as though that the government is, I think that they are using the federal government, the White House, Alina Hava, Donald Trump, they're using the Congresswoman as a, this is a test case. | ||
| This is an opening salvo, if you will. | ||
| And if we allow them to do this to LaMonica McIver. | ||
| That means they will do it to any other member of Congress, any governor. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| If the people did not raise their voices about Roz Baraka, the mayor of Newark, they'll do it to any other mayor. | ||
| I mean, they're currently investigating Brandon Johnson in Chicago right now under a civil rights violation. | ||
| I'm using quotes. | ||
| I feel as though she's being punished for speaking up, and then you've got people in the government saying, oh, well, her conduct was unprofessional. | ||
| When I just saw Christine, I'm not even going to be able to describe what have you described. | ||
| You also have Republicans running for governor in our dear state of New Jersey who are saying the same. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So we know what times we're in. | ||
| This president has. | ||
| Oh boy, these guys really, they just make it too easy for me. | ||
| I wish they would make it a little bit harder. | ||
| It would be more challenging during the day. | ||
| So first off on Carville, Carville literally is like, I don't have any evidence for this, but I'm going to say it anyway. | ||
| Yes, there is no evidence. | ||
| Do you honest? | ||
| Does anyone honestly think if a bunch of white people... | ||
| Had showed up and tried to push their way through the ice thing that the government wouldn't be going after them. | ||
| Does anyone remember January 6th? | ||
| I think there were a couple of white people there. | ||
| So that's one thing. | ||
| Okay, let's put that aside. | ||
| Then for, as for, what's her name? | ||
| What's her name? | ||
| Simone Sanders. | ||
| It's like, first off, lady, try the sweet greens. | ||
| Connor, get that girl some sweet greens. | ||
| That would be one thing. | ||
| Number two, no. | ||
| Again, you don't understand the difference between actions and words. | ||
| You're going after Nancy Mace. | ||
| For saying something versus someone showing up and elbowing an ICE officer. | ||

And it's just, you people are all just terrible. | |
| But you deserve each other, and that's why you should, I believe in separate but equal, you should have your own television station. | ||

| Let's talk about Franzese Wine, and then we'll get to the Rubin Report Community Q&A on the other side. | ||

| Community Q&A. | ||
| Sunny says, I don't want to be cynical, but yes. | ||
| Yeah, these places are institutionally rotted. | ||
| And they were not going to fix anything, obviously, until Donald Trump or the administration or there was enough public pressure or anything else. | ||
| You know, we know that for the most part they don't mean this because even some of these DEI departments that have been kicked out of these schools, we know they're now rebranding in other ways. | ||
| We've also seen all sorts of videos of school administrators basically being like, we can't call it DEI anymore, so we're going to call it this, or we're going to use social-emotional learning instead. | ||
| And that's really what... | ||
| The problem with wokeism is it is a parasite that takes over the host. | ||
| So even if you change the name... | ||
| You know, like, a leopard by any stripes is still a leopard. | ||
| Like, it just is. | ||
| So, yes, I don't think most of these places are reforming. | ||
| But that being said, there was a reason that we showed you that video in Columbia, because to hear these kids boo that bitch was great. | ||
| They went there to learn. | ||
| And we do forget, and I do too, we do forget that some of these young people who go to these schools, it's a small minority of people who are doing this. | ||
| And that's also the irony. | ||
| It's a small minority, and yet... | ||
| You guys refuse to put it down. | ||
| And yet there's all these other kids, and I'm going to guess it's probably 90% of the kids who are good, decent people who just wanted to go there to learn. | ||
| And as I said before, you've now ruined part of their future because I'm telling you, there is going to be an awful lot of people in HR who will look at their resumes and Harvard, Columbia, Yale, no freaking way. | ||
| Get me the trade school kid or get me the guy who didn't go to college. | ||
| And in some ways, you guys all deserve it. | ||
| Kolura, something to that effect, says, what's on your summer reading list? | ||
| So, you know, one of the things that's been tough for me over the last couple of years is things have gotten so busy and we've spawned off a couple other businesses and the kids and everything else. | ||
| I just simply don't get to read as much as I like to. | ||
| In the old days... | ||
| I read every single book of every single person that I would interview. | ||
| I made sure that week to read the book, and I just simply don't have the time to do it anymore. | ||
| But of course, I'm going off the grid in August, ninth year of doing it. | ||
| We're still figuring out some of the travel arrangements and what we're doing and all that stuff. | ||
| But for sure, I am not reading any works of nonfiction. | ||
| I do not do August for that. | ||
| I think... | ||
| I'm going to do a little bit of fiction, and I'm going to go back to two books, one of which I haven't read for probably 30 years, which is Brave New World. | ||
| I think I'm going to read Brave New World. | ||
| I read it when I was in seventh grade, and I only read it once, and I remember my seventh grade teacher basically being like, you're way too young to read this. | ||
| And I loved it, but I don't think I fully understood it. | ||
| Now, as the years have gone by... | ||
| You know, like, the idea set, and, you know, as we enter now, this AI age, and as we enter genetics, all of the things that we're going to be able to change about ourselves and everything else, like, I'm very much looking forward to reading that. | ||
| And then I'm going to do one that I haven't read for probably, I did reread it, I think about seven years ago, but I'm going to reread it again. | ||
| It's an oldie and a classic, and you'll see where I'm going, because it's not that far from Brave New World. | ||
| I'm going to reread 1984, obviously the George Orwell classic. | ||
| Yeah, I think I read it about seven years ago. | ||
| I did a PragerU video on it with Michael Knowles, and I reread it. | ||
| It took me about two weeks. | ||
| I think I'm going to do those two. | ||
| But really, what I try to do, if we're just sitting on the beach, I'm just trying to disconnect. | ||
| I am one of those people. | ||
| I can sit on a plane and not do anything, and I'm completely fine. | ||
| I can sit at the beach, and I don't have to look at my... | ||
| Well, I don't have my phone in August, but I don't have to read. | ||
| I don't have to look at a magazine. | ||
| I can literally just sit there, and I'm telling you, I... | ||
| I do it. | ||
| I can feel it. | ||
| I can visualize it in my mind. | ||
| My mind is like a file cabinet. | ||
| There's a lot of stuff in there. | ||
| There's family. | ||
| There's friends. | ||
| There's current events. | ||
| There's work. | ||
| There's finances. | ||
| There's all the buckets. | ||
| And I kind of just go through my mind every day. | ||
| And I'm like, all right, I can put this one aside. | ||
| Oh, I need to think about this one a little bit differently. | ||
| And I just do it for a month. | ||
| And it really is one of the reasons I've been able to stay sane in all of the years doing this. | ||
| Tarpon says, if you could swap positions with any U.S. official right now, who would it be? | ||
| Ooh, if I could swap positions, that means that they're going to take this gig and I'm going to take their gig? | ||
| Well, who could do this? | ||
| You guys want Bobby Kennedy to do this every day? | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Love you, Bobby, love you. | ||
| No, that would be a bit much. | ||
| Whose job? | ||
| Let's just first do it the other way. | ||
| Whose job would I want? | ||
| Well, I do like the idea of Secretary of State, but Rubio's doing a great job. | ||
| But the idea of representing the country, not being the president per se, but representing the country on the global scale and communicating the ideas of the administration clearly, I think I would probably be quite good at that. | ||
| And I do like getting into some of the confrontation and stuff. | ||
| Again, if you see later. | ||
| Today, my peers, Morgan Uncensored, I say, like, I'm debating two of these, just like nothing dingbat leftist, and it's not hard to do. | ||
| It's actually kind of fun. | ||
| Michael Knowles was on my side, so that made it more fun. | ||
| So I do like some of that stuff. | ||
| So Secretary of State might be fun. | ||
| Could Rubio, could Rubio do this? | ||
| He's not the funniest guy, so Rubio would be a little stiff for our purposes. | ||
| Who in the administration could do a little bit of this? | ||
|

|
Tom, Tom Holman, this is the Rubin Report. | |
| You're all fucked. | ||
| And we're coming for you. | ||
| That would be it. | ||
| Lauren says, why did all the Western leaders participate in the grand illusion, and to what extent was their involvement? | ||
| Biden met with kings, presidents, and prime ministers at economic forums, summits, but as far as I know, none of them blew the whistle about Biden's decline. | ||
| Did they also know about his advancing cancer? | ||
| You know, this is a great question, and it's partly why there's so much craziness around Jake Tapper's book, which I can already see the next questions about that. | ||
| That, like, everyone was kind of in on it. | ||
| So I think the answer to your question is, well, first off, it's probably different for every person. | ||
| So, right? | ||
| So, like, Maloney, if you remember that G7 summit that I referenced earlier, where, you know, Biden starts wandering off and everybody's looking at him and Maloney kind of grabs him. | ||
| And you can see she's, like, a little more like, something ain't right here, guys. | ||
| But you can also see another version of that where if you're, I don't know, say the leader of South Africa, maybe you're doing some bad stuff in your country and you have a guy who has dementia, who's just babbling on about the good old days and everything else, you might not want to call out any bullshit on it because it's pretty good for you. | ||
| So I think all of these leaders of their countries, they're looking out for their own interests, right? | ||
| Which is what their job is. | ||
| And if they're like, boy... | ||
| It doesn't really seem like America has a leader or we can push this guy this way, that way, the other thing. | ||
| Or they're just looking at it like, oh man, what a freaking disaster this thing is. | ||
| We want to make sure it doesn't get any worse. | ||
| The selective pressures in how you deal with it are tough. | ||
| Look, I think over the years, all of the leaders that dealt with Biden, all these prime ministers and presidents and everything, they're all going to write memoirs. | ||
| And it will all start coming out. | ||
| And Maloney will tell the story of how much worse it was. | ||
| Or Macron will tell that story. | ||
| Or the 18 prime ministers that the UK had in the last five years. | ||
| Like, they'll all do that sort of thing. | ||
| But everyone, everyone knew. | ||
| To some extent, it is obvious. | ||
| And again, as the years go by, more and more people will come out and everything else. | ||
| The next question is connected to this, which is Boniaz or Boniaz says, Dave, I hope you get a chance to interview Jake Tapper. | ||
| If you do, please ask him if his new epiphany that he has made has made him rethink any of the other stories they covered up for. | ||
| Look, as I said. | ||
| I will gladly interview Jake Tapper. | ||
| I have hit him really, really hard. | ||
| As a matter of fact, we have a new segment on social media where every week we give an award to the Douchebag of the Week. | ||
| We've only done it for about five weeks, and I don't want to lead too much, but Jake is already going to win it twice. | ||
| We've only given five awards away. | ||
| He's winning it tomorrow. | ||
| He's going to be a two-time winner of the Rubin Report Douchebag of the Week award. | ||
| We've only given out five awards. | ||
| So that's something. | ||
| Look, I've said before, my suspicion about Jake, I've never met him. | ||
| I don't think he's a horrible person. | ||
| I think he got caught in a terrible system. | ||
| And there's something about that system that makes you protect it. | ||
| I don't know exactly. | ||
| Is it finances? | ||
| I don't know exactly what it is. | ||
| But the thing that we all see that's wrong with mainstream media, he's part of it. | ||
| And that's why it's been so odd this week. | ||
| I've never in my life seen a book come out where everyone is attacking the author. | ||
| You might attack... | ||
| Like, you know, the subject of the book or whatever, but everyone is like, no, you should not have written this book. | ||
| And that's why I don't understand how five months ago, when he was presented with writing this book through his agent or whoever it was, that he wasn't like, well, this kind of could turn on me. | ||
| Like, did he not think that through enough? | ||
| But look, Jake, if you're watching, I would interview and treat you fairly and everything else. | ||
| I don't, because I don't think you're a horrible person. | ||
| Like, there are people that are obvious, like... | ||
| Awful partisan hacks that have been on CNN for years, right? | ||
| Don Lemon, Jim Acosta, Cuomo. | ||
| Like, some of these guys are just kind of terrible, right? | ||
| But I don't think you're one of them. | ||
| And that's also what makes it a little more confusing. | ||
| I think there's a reason that people have the emotion about Jake. | ||
| It's why they have the emotion about CNN. | ||
| MSNBC, you can be like, ah, they're all left-wing lunatic hacks, progressive nutbags. | ||
| CNN, you purported to be in the middle. | ||
| So when we see you go off the deep end, it seems like a bit much. | ||
| Where MSNBC, we know it's a joke. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| It is. | ||
| So there's some connection there. | ||
| Let's talk about Juvenon for a minute, and then we'll have more questions on the other side. | ||
| Let's face it, the American healthcare system is a mess. | ||
| Big pharma is overpriced, and insurance companies just keep driving up costs. | ||
| That's why I'm always looking for natural ways to take care of my health, and one of the most overlooked is blood flow. | ||
| Better circulation means more oxygen and nutrients to your brain, heart, and muscles. | ||
| That's why I use Blood Flow 7 from Juvenon. | ||
| It naturally boosts nitric oxide by 230% and opens arteries up to 62%, improving blood flow, stamina, focus, and heart. | ||

| Hummer. | ||
| There's a name for you. | ||
| Says, if there was a zombie apocalypse and you were with your team, what roles and qualities do you think that each person has that would help you to survive? | ||
| Well, this is an interesting one. | ||
| Well, Connor, for sure, I would take with me. | ||
| Oh, this is a general. | ||
| This is AIS. | ||
| Oh, is that A? | ||
| Oh, that's literally AIS. | ||
| You took pictures of us. | ||
| AIS. | ||
| That's Christy up front. | ||
| I'll do it in order of who I'm looking at right now. | ||
| So Connor is my director here, obviously. | ||
| Connor... | ||
| I would keep for sure because he knows how to do things. | ||
| You know where wires go. | ||
| I feel like you could rig a system. | ||
| If there was water that was no good, you would know how to do something related to making the water a little less dirty. | ||
| I think there would be some use there. | ||
| Then we have Joseph here. | ||
| He's our newest employee. | ||
| Joseph also would be very useful because he's willing to do anything. | ||
| And if we have a job that nobody wants to do, we give it to Joseph. | ||
| He smiles and he does it. | ||
| Now, in the zombie show, he's one of the first ones that get killed, obviously, but you need that guy because he's buying you some time. | ||
| Phoenix over here, well, you're the kind of general when I'm doing the day-to-day. | ||
| I need someone to deal with the people and all of that, so you'd have some use, but obviously I'm going to have to take you out myself when you want to usurp my power. | ||
| Christy back there. | ||
| Well, she makes sure my hair is okay. | ||
| And even in a zombie apocalypse, that's important. | ||
| And Joey's back there. | ||
| He's editing right now. | ||
| He's pretty athletic. | ||
| We played basketball last night for three hours. | ||
| The guy has a great job. | ||
| I mean, he's almost Duncan. | ||
| He's only like maybe 5 '10". | ||
| So I feel like that has use. | ||
| And Chris! | ||
| Oh, Chris, our SEO guy who doesn't work with us in studio. | ||
| Chris! | ||
| Well, Chris is a great conversationalist. | ||
| And, you know, a lot of times in the zombie movies, all hell is breaking loose. | ||
| And then, you know, it's like, oh, my God, they killed everybody we know. | ||
| And then you end up in a room in a in like a you're at a farmhouse and you just have this nice moment. | ||
| We're able to chat with somebody about like the old days. | ||
| And Chris is the same age as me. | ||
| And we'd be able to talk about the Cosby show or something like that. | ||
| That would be pretty good. | ||
| OK, Cece says, do you have a favorite food you look forward to eating when traveling to Europe or to Israel? | ||
| So we're heading to Hungary on Tuesday and then. | ||
| I mean, I have my tequila on the weekends, but I've just been on a nice run because when I go... | ||
| I want to eat. | ||
| We're going to be in Hungary. | ||
| I will have all of that Hungarian goulash and all of that other stuff. | ||
| I will have some of their sweet Hungarian wine that we had last time and all that good stuff. | ||
| And in Israel, I mean, the hummus is amazing. | ||
| The shawarma is incredible. | ||
| Their food scene in Tel Aviv is... | ||
| Actually, I thought the food scene in Jerusalem might have even been better than Tel Aviv. | ||
| I don't know that there's any one specific... | ||
| Yeah, you know, you give me like... | ||
| Go to the market in Tel Aviv and find sort of a hole in the... | ||
| It doesn't have to be a fancy place, but just with three guys and it looks kind of like... | ||
| Grungy and whatever. | ||
| That's where you're going to get the best stuff. | ||
| So I'm excited for that. | ||
| David says, when is the tequila finally coming out? | ||
| Will you do promotional events at liquor stores, etc.? | ||
| I'm excited for you. | ||
| Okay, so it took us a long time. | ||
| My original intention when we were doing this, we've been working on this for like three years. | ||
| We've gone to Jalisco. | ||
| We've gone to Tequila, which is a town in Jalisco, to do this. | ||
| We're working on a reposado. | ||
| We've tried. | ||
| We've made all different recipes and whatever. | ||
| I'm so excited about it. | ||
| It's clean. | ||
| It's good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's exquisite. | |
| That's the word I keep using. | ||
| I'm telling you this is the best Reposado you have ever had. | ||
| You know, there's a big scandal that just came out, the Casamigos, which is the George Clooney tequila. | ||
| He ended up selling it, I think, for 500 million bucks to a big spirits brand that apparently they've been cutting it and there's been chemicals in it and a bunch more. | ||
| We have none of that stuff. | ||
| But that does give us a good market opportunity, obviously. | ||
| I wanted to have it out in September. | ||
| There were some shipping issues. | ||
| And then because we're doing every single bottle will be different. | ||
| The artwork on every single bottle. | ||
| And because of that, there were some labeling things that delayed some things. | ||
| So we finally, we are going to release it. | ||
| On my birthday. | ||
| June 26th is my 49th birthday. | ||
| We are going to release it. | ||
| We will do a pre-sale probably the week before for Locals members only so that you guys can get it delivered to you by my birthday so that we do a live stream that night. | ||
| I will be here with the bottle. | ||
| We have not released the name or anything else yet. | ||
| And you'll be able to drink it with me on my birthday. | ||
| And then we're going to have a big birthday party release thing over the weekend. | ||
| And then everyone else. | ||
| So if you're not on Locals, you'll be able to order it on the 26th and then you'll get it in the next couple days. | ||
| We have a Miami distributor. | ||
| We're working on a couple stores here and a couple bars and restaurants. | ||
| I'm still trying to figure that out. | ||
| One of the things that I'm trying to figure out with this as we're doing this business, it's just another new business, is that people don't generally buy alcohol online. | ||
| Unless you're sending something to somebody in a place that you don't live by them and you're sending them a wedding gift or whatever it might be, or a birthday present, you generally, if you want alcohol, you go to the local store. | ||
| The world is just changing, and it's changing fast. | ||
| And I want to see, can we sell something in that I have a worldwide, although for now we're only selling in America, but in that I have a large audience that's all over this country, I want to see, can we do this? | ||
| Can people wait a couple days and then get the tequila, and is that something that works for them? | ||
| But I promise you, it's a wonderful, wonderful project. | ||
| It's a product, and I'm really excited for it. | ||
| Glenn says, you said Temple of Doom is your favorite Indiana Jones movie. | ||
| How? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Don't you know Raiders of the Lost Ark is the greatest movie ever made? | ||
| The Last Crusade is pretty great, too. | ||
| The two in this century don't count. | ||
| Okay, so we will completely eliminate Crystal Skull, which was absolutely horrible, and it's a stain on Steven Spielberg and George Lucas to whatever extent they were involved in. | ||
| That was the fourth one. | ||
| This last one, Dial of Destiny. | ||
| It's not terrible, but it's completely forgettable. | ||
| They do a nice thing at the end to wrap up the story, but you're right. | ||
| Let's just shelve those two. | ||
| Raiders of the Lost Ark. | ||
| First one, what year? | ||
| Give me a year. | ||
| I'm going to guess around 1982, 81, 81, 82. I saw it, so I was only five or six when it came out in the theater, so I probably didn't see it until I was about 10 years old or something. | ||
| It's an incredible movie. | ||
| I mean, the opening scene, like when he's going and the whole swap of the piece of gold or the gem or whatever it is and the giant... | ||
| I mean, it's just, it's perfect. | ||
| And the snakes and everything. | ||
| It's a perfect movie. | ||
| It is perfect. | ||
| Temple of Doom. | ||
| And maybe it had something to do with the age that I saw it at or something else. | ||
| First off, the opening scene in that, in Temple of Doom, is even better. | ||
| The opening scene where they're in, where are they? | ||
| In Shanghai or somewhere. | ||
| And the entire, that musical scene with Kate Capshaw, who was Steven Spielberg's wife. | ||
| And then Kali Ma. | ||
| And the monkey brains. | ||
| Do we have the monkey brains? | ||
| I mean, that whole scene. | ||
| Do we have a picture of the monkey brains? | ||
| They're eating monkey... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Chilled... | |
| What's for dessert? | ||
| Chilled monkey brains. | ||
| Like, it is just perfect. | ||
| And of course, what's his name? | ||
| From Goonies. | ||
| Who was... | ||
| Round... | ||
| Round shot? | ||
| Short round. | ||
| Short round. | ||
| Dr. Jones! | ||
| Dr. Jones! | ||
| Oh, I'm being told show has to end. | ||
| I guess we gotta go. | ||
| We gotta thing? | ||
| We gotta go. | ||
| Something happened. | ||
| I gotta go. | ||
| Gotta do some other stuff. | ||
| Okay, thanks for watching. | ||
| Post game show or no? | ||
| No post-game show. | ||
| Can't do post-game show. | ||
| Something happened. | ||
| Something come up. | ||
| I'll be back tomorrow. | ||
| Goodbye. | ||

Democrat or Republican? | |
| Not gonna lie. | ||
| No pun intended. | ||
| I lean a little bit more to the left. | ||
| You feel me? | ||
| Alright, that's not cool. | ||
| Was those the towers, bro? |
