Hello, everybody. | |
| I am Charitrice Money, and today as current temperatures right here, Saturday, it's 2:40 p.m., honey. | ||
| It is 80 degrees here in Portland right now, honey, and we are feeling the effects. | ||
| The sun is out. | ||
| All it took was a pride parade to bring the sunshine out today. | ||
| But honey, it is hot all over the state. | ||
| All it took was a while. | ||
| How you doing, honey? | ||
| I'm Dave Rubin. | ||
| This is the Rubin Report. | ||
| It is June 24th, 2025. | ||
| We are live streaming on Rumble, on YouTube, and on locals. | ||
| Another 6,000 of you subscribed yesterday. | ||
| We're going to hit that three-mil mark before we get off the grid August 1st. | ||
| Thank you for joining us. | ||
| And you can tap that subscribe button right now on YouTube, on Rumble. | ||
| We're just crushing it across the board. | ||
| Much appreciated. | ||
| I had to ask the guys before we started, is that even real? | ||
| That cold open we just showed you there. | ||
| And yes, that apparently is a weather man and or woman from Portland. | ||
| Good luck with all of that. | ||
| They said keep Portland weird. | ||
| I don't think they meant it so literally. | ||
| But yes, crushing it in the subscriber again. | ||
| Very happy about that. | ||
| Obviously, you know, we're doing a lot of the Iran-Israel stuff, ceasefire, kind of broken ceasefire, back to a ceasefire and more today. | ||
| I also want to quickly thank you guys because we officially sold out of Copal yesterday. | ||
| I did not know what was going to happen here, but yeah, you can see we are 100% sold out. | ||
| We sold thousands of bottles. | ||
| I'm signing for everybody. | ||
| I said I would do it for the first 5,000 bottles that we put out there. | ||
| I don't know where my little stickers went. | ||
| They were here, but I'm personally signing them. | ||
| There, show me a sticker that I can hear. | ||
| Give me one of the ones that I already signed. | ||
| So people will, if you did buy a bottle, we're going to send you the sticker. | ||
| No auto pen here. | ||
| I sign it myself and you'll get that a little bit. | ||
| You just forward your receipt for your purchase over to hello at drinkcopal.com. | ||
| You'll get that. | ||
| And we will be restocked by the end of the month. | ||
| So we're hoping we can open the pre-sale again in a couple of days. | ||
| And I'm just unbelievably appreciative. | ||
| And I thank you guys. | ||
| And we're just going to keep building new things and see what happens. | ||
| So thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Let's get into it. | ||
| Obviously, the theme today is that World War III has been averted. | ||
| I think that means we've also delayed World War IV and five, but we'll have more on that, I'm sure, from a certain hysterical corner of the internet. | ||
| And we will discuss, obviously, the ceasefire, some of the reaction around it, and that it's a little bit messy. | ||
| Trump dropped some choice language this morning. | ||
| I'm sure most of you have heard that Trump dropped the F-bomb. | ||
| That had the internet afire this morning. | ||
| And yes, ceasefires are a little bit messy, but it is all calming down right now. | ||
| And surprise, surprise, the craziest, most hysterical snake oil salesmen were wrong and everything is going to be okay. | ||
| World War III was averted and you'll be able to hang out in the pool this weekend. | ||
| So let's just dive right in. | ||
| We will start Truth Social from Donald Trump. | ||
| Congratulations to everyone. | ||
| It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire in approximately six hours from now when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in-progress final mission, something kind of funny about that, for 12 hours, at which point the war will be considered ended. | ||
| Officially, Iran will start the ceasefire, and upon the 12th hour, Israel will start the ceasefire, and upon the 24th hour, an official end to the 12-day war will be saluted by the world. | ||
| During each ceasefire, the other side will remain peaceful and respectful on assumption that everything works as it should, which it will. | ||
| I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, on having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what should be called the 12-day war. | ||
| This is a war that could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't and never will. | ||
| God bless Israel. | ||
| God bless Iran. | ||
| God bless the Middle East. | ||
| God bless the United States of America and God bless the world. | ||
| Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America. | ||
| Okay, so because Israel did this very, very quickly and with a story that is going to be told for generations in terms of 20 years of intelligence that they were gathering and what they were doing in Iran and everything else and the surprise and the shock and awe. | ||
| And then clearly at some level, we'll find out more about this too. | ||
| The coordination with the Trump administration, meaning you got 60 days to negotiate, you go on day 61. Obviously, we'll find out. | ||
| That will all be unpacked and people will tell stories about all of those things. | ||
| But the 12-day war, I kind of like that. | ||
| They had the six-day war about 50 years ago. | ||
| Now you got the 12-day war that in essence is over. | ||
| The Iranian leadership is pretty much decapitated. | ||
| Khomeini is still alive. | ||
| But the military leaders, the military leaders, the nuclear scientists, the military itself have been completely decimated. | ||
| Hopefully the people of Iran can now stand up to the mullahs and take their country back. | ||
| We will see. | ||
| But when you have a ceasefire, as Trump laid out there, the ceasefire, well, we got six hours to finish up a mission and six hours to do this, and then we'll announce it in 12 hours. | ||
| You know, sometimes there's planes in the air and some other stuff happening. | ||
| So of course it didn't go perfectly. | ||
| But everyone can calm down. | ||
| We'll dive into a bit of what has happened subsequently. | ||
| This is from Fox News. | ||
| A senior Iranian official also confirmed the ceasefire deal, according to Reuters. | ||
| A diplomat briefed on the ceasefire talks shared more detail on the deal with Fox News. | ||
| President Trump spoke to Qatar's emir and informed him that the U.S. got Israel to agree to a ceasefire with Iran, the source shared. | ||
| The president asked Qatar to help persuade Iran to do the same, following that Vice President Vance coordinated with Qatar's prime minister on the details. | ||
| The source added that this effort proved successful. | ||
| And following discussions with the Qatari prime minister, the Iranians agreed. | ||
| The deal was coordinated at the highest level by the president and vice president and the Qatari emir and prime minister directly. | ||
| The source continued. | ||
| Despite having been attacked just hours earlier, the Qataris set aside their grievances and prioritized regional security to get the deal done. | ||
| Okay, so we'll get to the attack that Iran launched on Qatar and I think it was Oman in just a moment. | ||
| But basically, look, just to get you caught up before we talk about a little bit of the breakdown of the ceasefire, Israel got what it wanted, right? | ||
| Iran is not really going to be a threat. | ||
| Now, can they still lob a rocket every now and again? | ||
| Yeah, but have they been basically decimated? | ||
| First off, the path to nukes has been destroyed and demolished. | ||
| As I said, the leadership is basically gone. | ||
| It has been proven that state sponsoring of terror and having their proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis firing at them constantly, it's not going to work anymore and no one's going to put up for it. | ||
| And all America had to do was do what I said a couple of days ago. | ||
| I said, I don't know if America is going to do it or what Trump wants to do or anything else. | ||
| But all America had to do was drop a couple bombs. | ||
| I think six bombs, B-2s, they came right back to America. | ||
| It's all good. | ||
| No American boots on the ground, no blood or anything else. | ||
| So Israel got what it wants. | ||
| Iran, it's hard to say what Iran wants because I think what the people want and the mullahs want are two different things. | ||
| But if you're the people of Iran, you're feeling pretty good right now. | ||
| The regime is sort of collapsing internally, and hopefully it's your job. | ||
| It's on you to take your country back. | ||
| And if you're the mullahs, like some of you are still there and Khomeini's still alive, and you didn't get completely decimated. | ||
| So I guess there's a little bit of a win there. | ||
| And if you're the United States, if you're Donald Trump, you feel great right now. | ||
| You did something very, very simple and you, I think, angled the world more towards a peaceful place. | ||
| So, okay, the ceasefire gets announced and then Iran immediately broke it. | ||
| This is from Breaking 911. | ||
| Iran violates Trump's ceasefire. | ||
| Iran fires three waves of ballistic missiles into Israel. | ||
| Multiple critical patients reported at impact site in Beersheba as residential buildings struck. | ||
| I think eight people were killed, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
| That was post the ceasefire being announced. | ||
| And then Israel then subsequently announced, okay, you broke it. | ||
| Now we're going to break it back. | ||
| Here's what Trump had to say about that. | ||
| This is from CBS. | ||
| President Trump voiced frustration with Israel and Iran on Tuesday morning after the Middle East's arch rivals indicated they were complying with the ceasefire agreement after he announced just hours earlier, but Israel then accused Iran of launching more missiles and vowed to retaliate. | ||
| Mr. Trump said both countries had violated the ceasefire and he demanded that Israel recall warplanes and not drop those bombs. | ||
| In light of Iran's complete violation of the ceasefire declared by the U.S. president and a launch of missiles towards Israel and in accordance with Israeli government's policy has determined to respond forcefully to any violation, I have instructed the IDF in coordination with the prime minister to continue the intense activity of attacking Tehran to thwart regime targets and terrorist infrastructure, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Kat said in a statement. | ||
| The chief of staff for Israel's military, Lieutenant General Ayal Zamir, announced earlier that in light of the severe violation of the ceasefire carried out by the Iranian regime, we will respond with force. | ||
| Okay, so Iran breaks it. | ||
| Again, I think they killed eight people in the break. | ||
| Trump asks Israel a stop. | ||
| Israel does not stop. | ||
| It bombed a couple sites. | ||
| I don't think anyone is killed in those areas, but it did do it against Trump's wishes. | ||
| Trump then posted on truth, Israel, do not drop those bombs. | ||
| If you do, it is a major violation. | ||
| Bring your pilots home now. | ||
| Donald Trump, President of the United States. | ||
| Then Trump went on, and here's the line that caught everybody this morning. | ||
| He was asked about what he thinks about both sides violating the ceasefire. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
| Yeah, I do. | ||
| They violated it, but Israel violated it too. | ||
| Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before. | ||
| The biggest load that we've seen. | ||
| I'm not happy with Israel. | ||
| You know, when I say, okay, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them. | ||
| So I'm not happy with them. | ||
| I'm not happy with Iran either. | ||
| But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because of one rocket that didn't land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't land. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not happy about that. | |
| You know what? | ||
| We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing. | ||
| Do you understand that? | ||
| That is an interesting. | ||
| I mean, I think I only have one other memory of Trump dropping an F-bomb. | ||
| So that's an interesting, you know, he did it intentionally, right? | ||
| He's trying to basically be like, guys, we got you to sign this thing. | ||
| You got to let it up. | ||
| I'm going to say the exact same thing I've said this entire time. | ||
| I trust Trump here. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| You know a ceasefire is going to be messy, right? | ||
| Like that's why ceasefires very rarely hold because one side accuses the other of violating it, then they violate, then they do this tit for tat thing. | ||
| Like we're not going to be the last one to be hit, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| But here we are. | ||
| And as of this moment now, it appears that both sides have stopped. | ||
| So subsequently, after that, what you just saw there, Trump posted this. | ||
| Israel is not going to attack Iran. | ||
| All planes will turn around and head home while doing a friendly plane wave to Iran. | ||
| Nobody will be hurt. | ||
| The ceasefire is in effect. | ||
| Thank you for your attention to this matter. | ||
| Donald J. Trump, President of the United States. | ||
| So that's where we're at at the moment. | ||
| There actually is a ceasefire. | ||
| My sense is it's going to hold. | ||
| Like Iran can't keep getting hit and survive. | ||
| Israel doesn't want to piss off Trump. | ||
| And I do think that the key thing about all of this is that there are new rules in the Middle East now. | ||
| You cannot just shoot rockets into other countries' sovereign territory. | ||
| If you do it, you are going to be attacked back. | ||
| I think that was what Israel needed to restore. | ||
| They needed to restore deterrence. | ||
| If you do this, Iran, if you keep threatening us, whether it's you and you yourself, the nation of Iran, or it's your proxies in other countries, if you do it, you're going to get blown apart. | ||
| And look what happened to Iran in a 12-day war, right? | ||
| So I think that there are new rules in the Middle East, and this will lead to a much more peaceful Middle East and world. | ||
| Here's Caroline Levitt on that. | ||
| The American people continue to be safe under this president and this administration that has done more to secure our homeland than any administration in history. | ||
| The previous administration allowed 20 million illegal aliens into our country. | ||
| This administration is focused on the largest mass deportation of those illegal criminals, many of them who do come from countries in the Middle East. | ||
| Many of those were known terrorists, and this administration is detaining and deporting them every day to protect our homeland and protect the American public. | ||
| That is always the president's number one priority and goal. | ||
| And just to be clear, yes, this strike on Saturday did make our homeland safer because it took away Iran's ability to create a nuclear bomb. | ||
| This is a regime that threatens death to America and death to Israel, and they no longer have the capability to build this nuclear weapon and threaten the world. | ||
| So not just the United States, it's a safer place, but also the entire globe. | ||
| Okay, so there's a couple things here. | ||
| So not only, so we took away their ability to build a bomb, and that is good, right? | ||
| If you think that Iran has had, let's say, questionable motives over the last couple of years, which they obviously have, again, they funded Hamas, which killed 46 Americans, even if you don't care about Israelis or Jews or anything else, right? | ||
| You should care about Americans as an American. | ||
| So that's one part of it. | ||
| So they're not going to get the bomb. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| Now, we have another problem, which we'll do more in the later half of the show, as it relates to who is in our borders right now and how many people have come through the southern border that weren't necessarily from Mexico just looking for jobs here, but actually might be Iranian agents or terrorists of some other kind or whatever. | ||
| Like we're going to have a big problem with that. | ||
| But Trump's doing something about that with the border and the deportations. | ||
| And we kneecapped Iran. | ||
| And Iran now knows you can't keep funding terrorism all over the world. | ||
| So they're not going to be giving boatloads of money to Hezbollah in Lebanon. | ||
| They're not going to be giving boatloads of money to Hamas in Gaza, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| So there's multiple layers of how everything will calm down right now. | ||
| You know, there was a phrase that got that really caught fire on the internet last week. | ||
| Was it Trump that came up with it first? | ||
| Panikin? | ||
| Who came up with the phrase panic in first? | ||
| That there are all these people that they're panicking, basically, that they're just constantly telling you that the sky is falling, right? | ||
| It's like chicken little. | ||
| And always everything that happens is going to lead to World War III. | ||
| Everything that happens is going to lead to this thermonuclear war. | ||
| But no, but no, commer heads do prevail. | ||
| And that's what peace through strength is. | ||
| And if you say no to the bad guys, sometimes they get kind of scared. | ||
| Oh, and panic in. | ||
| So panikin, p-a-n-n-i-k-i-n, is an Australian and New Zealand slang. | ||
| And it means, it can mean head or to be, or used to describe somebody who's eccentric or crazy. | ||
| It sounds like Pelican, who's also panicking. | ||
| You get the idea. | ||
| And I think if any of us have learned anything in all of this, you know, I've obviously been critical of certain people on the right as they've sort of used this panicking notion, everything, the sky is falling, the World War III is coming, all of these things. | ||
| Like there might be a reason that they try to addict you to that fear, right? | ||
| It's very easy for me all the time to show you how the left uses fear to keep people in this perpetual state of craziness, right? | ||
| The left does it with virtually everything but like climate, for example. | ||
| My God, there's only 12 more years of life left on planet Earth. | ||
| And that was six years ago, AOC. | ||
| But Barack Obama still lives in Martha's Vineyard by the water. | ||
| And it's like, but they keep young people in this perpetual state of fear. | ||
| This is it. | ||
| This is the moment. | ||
| It's all going to come crashing down. | ||
| And there are always snake oil salesmen throughout the generations who do this sort of thing. | ||
| Well, we saw a version of it on the right over the last year. | ||
| And it is my fervent hope as someone that did not do that and doesn't do that. | ||
| I would rather you tune out than me lie to you or exaggerate any of these things. | ||
| That these people, that people that have taken a lot of attention, a lot of attention from good people, that they will either reverse course, which most people don't, or they will just kind of flit away. | ||
| That is my hope. | ||
| Caroline Levitt was asked a question in the press conference yesterday about some of the Trump supporters who are not in line with Trump's view on foreign policy, which is a perfectly fine question. | ||
| I thought her answer was quite good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Rhino warmonger Lindsey Graham, you recently called on the U.S. to go all in. | |
| That's quite the lead to a question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| What's your message to everyday Trump supporters? | ||
| Not the Tucker Carlsons or other big names, but everyday Trump supporters, grassroots who voted for President Trump to stop the wars, rejected this in the primary, going into another war, but voting against Nicky Haley, and they want to see non-U.S. | ||
| involvement in this war. | ||
| What's your message? | ||
| Trust in President Trump. | ||
| President Trump has incredible instincts, and President Trump kept America and the world safe in his first term as president in implementing a peace through strength foreign policy agenda. | ||
| Yeah, it was quite a leading question, but her answer was quite right. | ||
| Peace through strength. | ||
| Donald Trump never once said he was a pure isolationist. | ||
| He said he was America first, right? | ||
| He never said we want nothing to do with the world. | ||
| As a matter of fact, everything that Donald Trump has done in the 10 years since he came down that escalator has been about how do we make all of the systems of the world that the United States funds and pays for, and we're providing security for all of these countries. | ||
| We're getting a raw deal on all of these things. | ||
| He never said we're going to pull back from all of the entire world. | ||
| He said we're going to get a better deal as it relates to all these things. | ||
| He said we're going to do less military adventures, but it doesn't mean we're never going to do anything. | ||
| And on top of that, as we've shown you many times, he's been remarkably consistent from day one over 10 years ago that Iran was not going to get a bomb. | ||
| So don't listen to me or anyone else. | ||
| Just think about it for yourself for just a moment. | ||
| Do you think the world is more safe or more dangerous right now? | ||
| So for that average person, the questioner, it was a very leading question. | ||
| But he was basically saying, okay, for someone who voted for Trump, because we were never going to be involved in the world. | ||
| Well, I think it's a faulty question to some extent. | ||
| But what it really comes down to is, do you think we are more safe right now or less safe? | ||
| And the answer obviously is the world is more safe. | ||
| The leading state sponsor of terror has been completely neutered and will not get nukes. | ||
| Now, could some bad things happen on the other side? | ||
| Yeah, but they are not going to be able to fund. | ||
| They now see it is fruitless. | ||
| Look what happened to your country when you decided to go against the interests of the United States. | ||
| So America first interests, it's not that America first interests are America only interests. | ||
| America first interests are the interests of freedom and free nations and sovereign borders and the ability to do trade. | ||
| And again, as I've repeatedly said, that is all completely consistent with exactly what Donald Trump went to Saudi Arabia six weeks ago and said. | ||
| We'll have more on a little bit of the Iranian response because they did fire off some rockets into other countries besides Israel and then a bit more in just a second. | ||
| But first, book profits. | ||
| Could you use some extra cash? | ||
| Of course, who couldn't? | ||
| You might be sitting on a gold mine right now and you didn't even know it. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Used books. | ||
| I'm not talking about writing or reading them. | ||
| I'm talking about selling used books online for profit. | ||
| It's simple, it works, and people are making serious income with it. | ||
| You don't need a ton of time, money, or tech skills. | ||
| You don't even need to own or handle the books. | ||
| Everything is done online, on your schedule, from anywhere. | ||
| There's a free training starting today that shows you exactly how it works. | ||
| Just go to bookprofits.com slash Rubin to watch. | ||
| That's bookprofits.com slash Rubin. | ||
| Okay, so as the ceasefire was hashing out, Iran started lashing out in a couple other ways that, again, in some sense, I actually think is good because it's showing people who the bad guys here are. | ||
| Check this out from Charlie Kirk. | ||
| Breaking reports of eminent Iranian threat on a U.S. base in Qatar. | ||
| And then this is from Breaking 911. | ||
| Breaking. | ||
| Qatar has shut down its airspace earlier. | ||
| The U.S. Embassy in Doha warned Americans to shelter in place until further notice. | ||
| Iran is vowing retaliation against U.S. interests in the Middle East. | ||
| Reminder, Qatar hosts the largest U.S. military base in the region. | ||
| And here's some video of air defenses activated over Doha, Qatar as Iran fired missiles in. | ||
| And as far as we understand it, nobody was even hurt. | ||
| And America did what America does, which is defend American interests. | ||
| For you which way of this, you've funded an awful lot of the terror and housed tamascuis and everything else. | ||
| The U.S. does an awful lot for you because you're a country of about 300,000 natives and you have about 2 million foreigners that basically are indentured servants. | ||
| You might say slaves who build all of the stuff in your country and you've got an awful lot of oil and you export terrible stuff. | ||
| And the result of that was that Iran decided to fire at you. | ||
| So I think Trump has actually started to play Qatar quite well. | ||
| They realize without our base there, they really have no defense. | ||
| They have no defense. | ||
| However, we did defend them quite well. | ||
| And that is overall, I would say, good. | ||
| Here's another truth from Donald Trump. | ||
| Iran has officially responded to our obliteration of their nuclear facilities with a very weak response, which we expected and have very effectively countered. | ||
| He's talking about the bombs that you just saw destroyed over Qatar. | ||
| There have been 14 missiles fired. | ||
| 13 were knocked down and one was set free because it was headed in a non-threatening direction. | ||
| I'm pleased to report that no Americans were harmed and hardly any damage was done. | ||
| Most importantly, they've gotten it all out of their system and there will hopefully be no further hate. | ||
| I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost and nobody to be injured. | ||
| Perhaps Iran can now proceed to peace and harmony in the region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same. | ||
| Thank you for your attention in this matter. | ||
| So interestingly, yeah, Iran did warn Qatar because they know they're on the ropes. | ||
| They have nothing left. | ||
| Their military has been decimated. | ||
| They're running out of rocket launchers. | ||
| There's a question about how many rockets they have, but if they don't have enough launchers, it's irrelevant, right? | ||
| So they did a token little something because the U.S. dropped the bombs on their nuclear facilities. | ||
| Their token little thing was to shoot a couple rockets into Qatar that they warned the Americans about, and the Americans very easily took them out. | ||
| Now, interestingly, even on CNN, they are realizing that Donald Trump did the right thing here and that Iran has become completely neutered. | ||
| Chuck Todd, who was fired by NBC, remember he was the host for the last couple of years of Meet the Press, which he turned into an utter embarrassment. | ||
| Tim Russert is rolling in his grave. | ||
| He left NBC. | ||
| And then what happens when you're a mainstream media person? | ||
| You get fired from one place and either you get hired back by them two years later or you just move to another network. | ||
| Well, here's Chuck Todd actually kind of saying the truth, which is that the Iranian response is performative and they have lost. | ||
| No, it looks like, I mean, I don't want to say Iran is surrendering, but this does feel a bit performative, what they did, which is an indication they seemed, they know they're in a corner and they really don't have a good way out. | ||
| And I guess the question is, are they in regime preservation mode? | ||
| Right? | ||
| If the regime wants to preserve itself, they need to figure out how to get a deal, I guess, without humiliating themselves. | ||
| Because that could lead to internal disposal. | ||
| I don't know why Chuck Todd started that by saying, I don't want them to admit they're losing, basically. | ||
| Like, I don't want them to say this is a surrender. | ||
| I mean, it was a surrender. | ||
| They're just firing these last-second rockets, telling you who they're firing at and when they're firing them, so that they don't seem completely embarrassed. | ||
| Now, I'll throw to somebody else on CNN who actually got a lot of this right, who was in Israel, stuck in Israel for much of this attack. | ||
| Of course, I'm talking about Scott Jennings. | ||
| And here he is saying that this was a complete capitulation by Iran. | ||
| And I think, you know, Seth Moulton spoke to this. | ||
| If this, in fact, effectively sets back the program and doesn't lead to wider escalation, the president seems to have accomplished all the objectives that he set out to achieve. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| I told you yesterday I didn't think we were at war and that this represented a de-escalation of the situation. | ||
| And that's exactly where we are with this flaccid Iranian response. | ||
| In the words of the great boxer Roberto Duran, no moss, no moss. | ||
| That's what Iran is saying after Israel has degraded their military capabilities and the president of the United States has taken away their ability to make nuclear weapons. | ||
| This is capitulation, in my opinion, from Iran today. | ||
| And it is a complete and total vindication of the Trump strategy, which was to let Israel beat these guys to a pulp. | ||
| We show up and take away their nukes. | ||
| Yes, let's have a deal now. | ||
| I think it'd be great to have a deal with Iran about right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It's beautiful. | ||
| And that's the truth. | ||
| So Israel pummeled them for about 10 days, destroyed all of their nuclear infrastructure in essence, except these last few sites that they admittedly needed America to finish off the job, but they took complete control of their airspace. | ||
| Israel took the pounding at home. | ||
| They knew there was going to be a response. | ||
| And every single rocket Shot by Iran was aimed to kill as many people as possible. | ||
| It did kill several dozen people, including, I think, eight yesterday, as I said. | ||
| But they knew it was a risk worth taking because if Iran was to get a nuke, that is the ultimate existential threat. | ||
| Iran here has completely capitulated. | ||
| They have nothing left. | ||
| So of course, at the end, okay, you fire off a couple rockets so you don't lose complete face. | ||
| But everyone knows it's over for them. | ||
| Again, the regime itself exists at some level. | ||
| Khomeini is still alive. | ||
| We'll probably appear out of the bunker in a couple of days. | ||
| We'll see what other leadership is there. | ||
| But now maybe the people have a chance. | ||
| But the war and Iran's ability to export terror is over. | ||
| This is a win for the U.S. It's a win for Israel. | ||
| I would say it's a win for the Western world. | ||
| And it's all good. | ||
| And here is CNN saying that Steve Witcoff, who's been an architect of some of the peace deals and bringing some hostages back, here he is talking, or here's CNN talking about how he's now got the road, basically the roadmap for Iran to end this thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That Donald Trump's Mideast envoy, Steve Witcoff, has remained in contact with Iranians since those U.S. weekend strikes. | |
| What does that tell you about this moment in this conflict? | ||
| I think it really speaks to the fact that both Tehran, but also the Trump administration and the president himself are looking for off-ramps. | ||
| And the fact that their channels open direct or indirect lines over multiple parties, from the Omanis to the Qataris to the Turks, there are many countries trying to find ways to bridge the divide. | ||
| That's very important. | ||
| What's really urgently needed is an opportunity for the Iranian foreign minister and Steve Witkoff to speak, perhaps without so much pomp and circumstance, but privately, discreetly, to take the temperature down and to find ways of de-escalation. | ||
| There is a moment right now where the Iranians have clearly signaled they're looking to de-escalate. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So that's good. | ||
| Again, what is good here, just to recap quickly, Israel did what it set out to accomplish. | ||
| It basically took out the big threat. | ||
| The United States helped in that and not a boot was on the ground or a pint of American blood was spilled. | ||
| But the United States used its influence and military power to do something good for the world. | ||
| Iran, to whatever extent it exists as a functioning place, gets to save a little face. | ||
| And again, hopefully and maybe the people will stand up and take their country back. | ||
| But that's for another day. | ||
| At the moment, everyone kind of got the off-ramp they want, right? | ||
| Israel knows, hey, if Iran starts shooting again, you're going to be able to shoot back. | ||
| And of course, Trump will allow you, oh, not allow. | ||
| Of course, Trump will back you in doing that. | ||
| But they have no need to do it anymore. | ||
| So they're done. | ||
| America can be done as long as nobody starts this up again. | ||
| And Iran, again, gets to hang on by the, you know, this, the thinnest of margins, let's say. | ||
| Donald Trump then tweeted this or put this up on True Social. | ||
| Congratulations, world. | ||
| It's time for peace. | ||
| So now, again, to connect this to that big speech that Donald Trump gave six weeks ago, maybe it was, maybe he planned all of this. | ||
| Like maybe there was, as I said the other day, like maybe he and Bibi were planning this all along so that once the Iranian regime was taken out, that the speech that Trump gave six weeks ago in Saudi Arabia, where he welcomed the world to give us, give up old hatreds, give up terrorism, have your borders, have your countries, and start trading and think of a new world and stop being so obsessed with that tiny little sliver of land where a couple of Jews live. | ||
| It's like maybe there could actually be peace, but not in that Pollyannish kind of utopian way, right? | ||
| It's not like suddenly everyone's going to start absolutely loving everybody, but people will realize, oh, destruction and terror and shooting rockets and raping women and all these things, it doesn't bring you to any level of success. | ||
| It doesn't take out Israel. | ||
| It doesn't get you a state. | ||
| It doesn't get you anything else except destruction. | ||
| So again, peace through strength. | ||
| That's what smart people live in, or that's what smart people believe in. | ||
| On the other side of this, we will talk about people who are, well, let's say less than smart. | ||
| But first, golden revive. | ||
| If you've hit that age where your body hurts all the time, listen up. | ||
| Before you reach for another painkiller, let me tell you about a little-known turmeric hack for pain and inflammation that could change everything. | ||
| You've probably heard that turmeric is great for fighting inflammation and joint pain. | ||
| But here's the catch. | ||
| Not all turmeric is created equal. | ||
| A leading pain doctor from Connecticut discovered a special turmeric extract that's 200 times more powerful than regular turmeric. | ||
| And when he shared this turmeric hack with his patients, the results were nothing short of amazing. | ||
| This extract doesn't just mask the pain, it attacks the pain at its source, switching it off like a light bulb. | ||
| Dr. Josh, the mind behind this breakthrough, has spent over 20 years helping hundreds of thousands of Americans break free from constant aches and stiffness. | ||
| And his turmeric hack has been the secret to their success. | ||
| Say goodbye to expensive surgeries, painful injections, and over-the-counter meds that don't really work. | ||
| And say hello to living pain-free. | ||
| I've tried it myself, and the difference has been incredible. | ||
| But here's the thing, you can't just use any old turmeric. | ||
| If you want to learn more about Dr. Josh, his turmeric hack, and how you can incorporate it into your daily routine, go to goldenrevive.com slash Rubin. | ||
| The link is also below this video in the description. | ||
| Just click it to start your journey to a pain-free, healthier life. | ||
| Let's try something here. | ||
| You guys know I don't like doing a lot of asks of you guys, and I usually do them very quickly, 20 seconds up at the top of the show. | ||
| But why don't you subscribe? | ||
| If you haven't subscribed, this is a rare mid-show ask by Dave Rubin. | ||
| Doesn't happen very often, but in the name of the forfeiture of World War III, wow, look at this. | ||
| This is really, it really shows how many of you have been doing this, and I really do appreciate it. | ||
| When we started doing this ask about two weeks ago, about 77% of you, those of you who watched the show, were not subscribed. | ||
| That's down to about 58% right now. | ||
| That's really phenomenal. | ||
| And we are going to crush that 3 million thing. | ||
| And I guarantee you, if you do it right now, if you click that button right now, you'll feel better about yourself. | ||
| It's a life-affirming thing. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| You're doing something good for yourself and for the country. | ||
| How do I segue into people that don't like doing good things for the country? | ||
| Let's talk about the Democrats. | ||
| Here is Timu Obama, Hakeem Jeffries. | ||
| He's very upset that Trump didn't ask him if he could drop the bombs. | ||
| Donald Trump and his actions, which do not appear to be consistent with the United States Constitution, takes unilateral offensive military action without seeking the approval of the United States and Congress for the use of military force, which is offensive in nature. | ||
| The Donald Trump and the administration chose to ignore the Constitution. | ||
| And so they're going to have to come before Congress and explain their justification for an offensive military strike. | ||
| Okay, I want to be completely intellectually consistent on that. | ||
| I discussed this with Rand Paul, who's the most libertarian member of the Senate last week. | ||
| He also was saying that Donald Trump should, if we're going to drop any bombs or anything, ask for congressional authority. | ||
| So that's one portion of it. | ||
| Now, there are other people who are pointing to the fact that if the president thinks that there's an eminent threat, which you might argue this was, that he can go around that. | ||
| But in real politic, in terms of how things have worked over the course of the last at least four decades, every president, whether it was Bill Clinton or Barack Obama or George W. Bush, actually George W. Bush, you got to give the guy credit for a lot of the crazy things that he did. | ||
| He did get congressional authorization for Iraq, if you remember that. | ||
| But Bill Clinton dropped bombs. | ||
| Barack Obama literally upended the entire country of Libya, which is now a failed state. | ||
| Not the Gaddafi was a great guy before that. | ||
| And it ended with someone sticking a knife up his ass, which is not a great way to end. | ||
| Not a great way. | ||
| That video is online. | ||
| Trust me, you don't want to see it. | ||
| You will not sit for the rest of the day. | ||
| But the point, don't find the video. | ||
| Look at him. | ||
| He's looking at him. | ||
| He's working over there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Find the video. | |
| Find the video. | ||
| It's horrible. | ||
| You don't want to see it. | ||
| Trust me. | ||
| The point is that presidents on both sides of the aisle have made decisions to do things when they've wanted to do it. | ||
| So suddenly they, and of course, if it was a Democrat right now, they wouldn't care. | ||
| And also, because I would add another layer to this, the Democrat Party is now so profoundly radical. | ||
| And we have so much evidence over the years that they have coordinated with the mainstream media and leaked things and everything else that can you imagine, let's say Trump knew there was an eminent attack on the United States, like without question and had to do something quickly. | ||
| Imagine if he had to go to the Democrats. | ||
| He had to go to Congress and ask for authorization to do something. | ||
| Imagine the leaks, the way they would stop him no matter what. | ||
| They would say he was a liar no matter what. | ||
| So Congress, by Congress being as rotten and broken and dysfunctional as it is, unfortunately, in some sense, has ceded their authority to the president of the United States. | ||
| Now, I want to show you Nancy Pelosi on this. | ||
| She takes the same exact tack as Timu Obama, and then we'll show her, we'll show you what she felt like or what she was saying when it was under Barack Obama. | ||
| Here you go. | ||
| She wrote, tonight, the president ignored the Constitution by unilaterally engaging in our military without congressional authorization. | ||
| I join my colleagues in demanding that answers from the administration on this operation, which endangers American lives and risks further escalation and dangerous destabilization of the region. | ||
| Okay, well, you seem to care very much about the Constitution, but do we have a video from 2011 when Obama was president and was doing the same stuff? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Madam Speaker, Madam Leader, you're saying that the president did not need authorization initially and still does not need any authorization from Congress. | |
| One, Libya? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Thank you, both. | ||
| Well, yes. | ||
| And now I've got to go count my money because I made $240 billion on the stock market this week. | ||
| So, okay, you get it. | ||
| They all take every position every which way. | ||
| Donald Trump is not going to be impeached. | ||
| He owes the Democrats nothing. | ||
| He should just tell them to fuck off and go home, and that's it. | ||
| Let's jump over a review. | ||
| I'm very conflicted, but I thought this one was somewhat interesting. | ||
| Here's Joy Behar. | ||
| They gave Whoopee the day off, I guess, after a terrible couple's days of PR for Whoopi. | ||
| So here's Joy Behar as the moderator asking ABC News' Jonathan Carl why Trump didn't give people more warning? | ||
| Why didn't he warn people about what we were going to do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So why did he keep it a secret? | |
| The surprise version? | ||
| I mean, absolutely, the diversion. | ||
| And you saw the way that the, you know, the all indications were the B-2s were flying towards Guam. | ||
| Everybody thought, okay, so we're getting in position to be ready. | ||
| They wanted to have some element of surprise. | ||
| Let's face it, there wasn't really much element of surprise. | ||
| I mean, this had been in the works for a long time, but to have the last, the final moment Why didn't we know? | ||
| Why didn't Trump announce it? | ||
| Why didn't Trump call up Sonny Hostin and tell her what we were going to do? | ||
| Why didn't Trump tell the Democrats? | ||
| It's like you all, because you're all corrupt. | ||
| You're all deeply, deeply corrupt. | ||
| And that's why you get the millions of dollars to sit in those chairs. | ||
| That's why. | ||
| Washed up hack James Carville, former Bill Clinton Democrat guy. | ||
| This guy was one of the most influential people in the Democrat Party for decades. | ||
| Now he's on the outs with his own party. | ||
| He's always fighting with that little wafy kid, what's his name again, David Hogg. | ||
| Here he is. | ||
| He doesn't like Trump. | ||
| Donald John Trump, who none of us think, if you're watching this, has the mental capacity or the intellectual curiosity to lead a nation at any time, much less one at war. | ||
| Now, I'll say this and I'll say it again. | ||
| I would bet anybody and none of you would take the bet that if you showed him a globe and asked him to point to Iran, he would know where the shit it is. | ||
| I mean, this clown, this is the very same clown that I sat with at real time and had to explain to him that Very Fine People was a lie. | ||
| Also, Bill Clinton, the guy that you worked for, Bubba, when Bill Clinton was in the middle of his impeachment thing, he was lobbing rockets all over the place without congressional authorization so that the news cycle would be diverted a little bit. | ||
| Do you remember that, James Carville? | ||
| Again, the one sane Democrat, the man who had brain damage, who now is the sanest Democrat in the entire clown car of crazy people. | ||
| Here's John Fetterman saying that AOC's threat to impeach Trump will go absolutely nowhere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says the president shouldn't be impeached because he's impulsive. | |
| What do you think of that? | ||
| No. | ||
| I mean, of course, no. | ||
| She knows it. | ||
| I know it. | ||
| We all know it. | ||
| That's not going anywhere. | ||
| And, you know, he's been impeached twice, and now he's still our president as well now, too. | ||
| So it's not going anywhere. | ||
| And I don't think that's helpful. | ||
| And I think if you throw that term around, that actually diminishes the severity of what impeachment is really reserved for. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| He bombed without congressional approval. | ||
| Libya in 2011. | ||
| That was the Qaddafi knife up-the-ass thing that I don't want you to Google. | ||
| Syria multiple times between 2014 and 2017. | ||
| Iraq, multiple times between 2013 and 2017. | ||
| Well, Afghanistan, you can argue maybe had some level, but did we take it too far? | ||
| Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen. | ||
| Like this is what these guys do. | ||
| And Bill Clinton, the guy he worked for, did the exact same thing. | ||

| And it doesn't mean that there aren't going to be some bad guys and everybody can walk away feeling a little bit dinged or upset or whatever. | ||
| Sometimes, sometimes the end conclusion of things is that everybody's kind of just like, ah, we didn't get everything we want. | ||
| Like that's what kind of negotiations are. | ||
| Like it's all not perfect, but let's set it down. | ||
| So let's put that aside for a moment and get back to our shores here. | ||
| I want to show you this video. | ||
| We'll start with this video from May of 2024. | ||
| Here is AOC telling us that if you talk about the border crisis as an invasion, you're a white supremacist. | ||
| Are you for real? | ||
| So let's talk about this because so much of our national conversation, which is not a conversation, about immigration, is driven by people who could not care less about immigrants. | ||
| Often people want to say, why aren't you talking about the border crisis? | ||
| Or why aren't you talking about it in this way? | ||
| Well, we're talking about it. | ||
| They just don't like how we're talking about it because it's not a border crisis. | ||
| It's an imperialism crisis. | ||
| It's a climate crisis. | ||
| It's a trade crisis. | ||
| And we are not being invaded, which, by the way, is a white supremacist idea, philosophy. | ||
| Being invaded is a white supremacist idea. | ||
| And it's like everything about her, everything about her behavior, her hand motions, the way she speaks, she was trained. | ||
| She was literally trained to behave like this. | ||
| Now, you get it. | ||
| Everything she says is nonsense. | ||
| And by, and of course, you're not a white supremacist if you care about the border. | ||
| And frankly, I don't give a shit about illegal immigrants. | ||
| Like, I don't. | ||
| I care about Americans. | ||
| And if you come here legally and you are a legal immigrant, you are afforded all the rights of the rest of us. | ||
| And that's great. | ||
| That's what the American Dream is about. | ||
| But she is, as always, pretending to be a good person rather than actually being a good person. | ||
| And the problem is when you do that, you open up the border like her boss, Joe Biden, did for four years, let in. | ||
| Now what they're saying is 21 million people in four years. | ||
| That is unimaginable. | ||
| That is unimaginable. | ||
| There are many countries on earth that don't have 21 million people in them. | ||
| But now let's jump because what happens when you do let all these people in? | ||
| Let's go to September of 2024. | ||
| So this is now a long time ago, right? | ||
| This is, you know, whatever, eight months ago, something like that. | ||
| I guess it's not that long, but it is about eight months ago, but well before this war, J.D. Vance telling a story about Iranians who are lying to get into the United States. | ||
| And I wonder, is it possible that some of them don't have good intentions? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The interdictions are not necessarily coming from countries in Central and South America anymore. | |
| They're coming from places in, you know, near around Near Asia and a lot of places that you wouldn't normally think people coming from, Middle East, et cetera. | ||
| From a national security perspective, what do we think is happening? | ||
| Why is that happening? | ||
| So, well, part of the reason it's happening is that... | ||
| No, no, it's not. | ||
| It's Iranians. | ||
| It's people from all over Asia, Africa, Europe. | ||
| I mean, look, if you look at this, that is the open door, right? | ||
| So if you want to come to this country, that is the open door. | ||
| And God knows why some of them want to be here. | ||
| I mean, given what's going on in the Middle East, I do worry about military-age males from Iran coming into this country through the southern border. | ||
| But I actually asked a border patrol agent about this on one of my visits. | ||
| He's like, we have a guy who came in here. | ||
| I asked the guy, like, why do you think this guy is Iranian? | ||
| And he said, well, because he came through and he said that he was Mexican. | ||
| And I was like, well, couldn't he have been Mexican? | ||
| And he said, well, he didn't speak Spanish. | ||
| I was like, oh, that's a tell. | ||
| That's probably a pretty significant tell. | ||
| But it's happening because this is what Kamala Harris has done. | ||
| She's created this massive gap in our national security and people are taking advantage of it. | ||
| It's really not that. | ||
| Okay, so it's just obvious and true and real. | ||
| And when you let in 21 million people and you, even ones that you stop, that then you let in and you, okay, you have to check in with us in three years. | ||
| You don't know where these people go. | ||
| You have no idea what their intentions are. | ||
| But now, because we have gotten control of our border and we have ICE doing good work and we have Tom Homan, who, as you know, you'll play Tom Homan in the movie about Tom Homan, we are starting to get some of the numbers in. | ||
| Here's Tom Homan talking about how many Iranian nationals have come into the United States that we at least know of. | ||
| Can you assess that issue particularly? | ||
| How many Iranians are in the country that are in sleeper cells trying to do bad to America right now? | ||
| Well, look, you and I have talked about this many times. | ||
| I said the last four years my biggest concern was this open border was the biggest national security vulnerability this country's ever seen. | ||
| So I pulled numbers this morning just from a CBP under Joe Biden. | ||
| There was 1,272 nationalists of Iran releasing the country between OFO and the border patrol. | ||
| And you compare that to the Trump administration, zero, right? | ||
| Zero releases. | ||
| And right now, because of President Trump's leadership, we have the most secure border in my lifetime, most secure border in history of this nation. | ||
| My biggest concern from day one, beyond the fentanyl, beyond the sex trafficking of women and children, were the two million known gotaways. | ||
| Over 2 million people crossed that border. | ||
| We don't know who they are, where they came from, because they got away because Border Patrol was so overwhelmed with the humanitarian crisis that Biden created that over 2 million people crossed the border and got away. | ||
| That is my biggest concern. | ||
| And that's what created the biggest national security vulnerability this country has ever seen. | ||
| You know, the more that I listen to this kind of stuff from home, and the more I think years from now we're going to look back and realize that the Democrat Party, and again, we don't know who was in charge because it wasn't Biden, obviously, and there was this cadre of people, that they really got as close as they possibly could to destroying the United States of America. | ||
| We just have no idea. | ||
| If you think it was bad watching those people, you know, flood into the country, if you think that was bad in and of itself, just the optics of that, remember that day, RFK, when he was still a Democrat and suddenly was like getting smacked in the head. | ||
| Oh my God, that guy's from another place. | ||
| And that guy's, oh, that guy's from, and next thing you know, he's not a Democrat. | ||
| Now he's in the Trump administration. | ||
| Like we will find out what the fruits of all of that are. | ||
| And we will probably find out in the most negative possible ways, which is what his point is, that it's not just about the fentanyl and the child trafficking, but potentially terror. | ||
| So if there's a thousand, roughly a thousand Iranian nationals just wandering around right now, if only 10% of those guys are bad guys, that's 100 of them. | ||
| 100 bad guys can do an awful lot of stuff. | ||
| You didn't need that many people. | ||
| What was it? | ||
| 19 or so for 9-11. | ||
| So that's one part of it. | ||
| And then the other part is that he's talking about these 2 million, these other 2 million people that are just wandering around that we don't know what they're doing. | ||
| Let's jump back five years, about six years now. | ||
| This is video from 2019. | ||
| Here's Tom Homan in a standoff with AOC about illegal asylum seekers. | ||
| What I'm saying, this is not the only paper where we've given the secretary numerous options to secure the border and save lives. | ||
| And so the recommendation, of the many that you recommended, you recommended family separation. | ||
| I recommend a zero tolerance. | ||
| Which includes family separation. | ||
| The same as it is whenever U.S. citizen parent gets arrested when they're with a child. | ||
| Zero tolerance was interpreted as the policy that separated children from their family. | ||
| If I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in a car, I will be separated. | ||
| When I was a police officer in New York and I arrested a father for domestic violence, I separated that. | ||
| Mr. Holman, with all due respect, legal asylums are not charged with any crime. | ||
| When you're in the country, legally is a violation of United States Code 1325. | ||
| Seeking asylum is legal. | ||
| If you want to seek asylum, go to the port of entry, do it the legal way. | ||
| The Attorney General of the United States has made that clear. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| AOC is just evil. | ||
| Like, I don't know how you can describe it as anything other. | ||
| She wants this country to be destroyed, and she's not the only Democrat that does and has done the work to get us to the precipice of that. | ||
| Trump is trying to fix that. | ||
| It is illegal to come into the country illegally. | ||
| It's baked into the word. | ||
| And yes, Poman wisely points out, if you're caught drunk driving and you have your kid in the car, you're going to be separated from your kid. | ||
| We're all, any human being with a heart is sympathetic to the idea of somebody who comes across the country, not sympathetic to the idea, but you can understand what she's trying to do there. | ||
| You can understand how she's playing on heartstrings. | ||
| So someone comes across, a mother comes across, or a young family comes across with their kids and got caught. | ||
| And now there's some sort of separation for whatever reason there is. | ||
| You can be sympathetic to that at the most human level. | ||
| But once you put that empathy above the reality of what it's like to protect your country, well, you now have what Gad Sadhat calls suicidal empathy, and you will destroy your country. | ||
| Go ask Germany and France and the UK how they feel about that. | ||
| And when you have suicidal empathy, it will destroy every part of your society because you will import people who want other things than what America was fundamentally set up for, which was individual rights and the pursuit of happiness. | ||
| So now let's go to New York City, which is on the verge of becoming a fully failed city. | ||
| I do not think New York City will survive this if this is what happens. | ||
| This is polymarket's betting odds for the New York City mayoral race. | ||
| Zorhan Mamdani, who basically is an Islamist. | ||
| He is out there screaming from the river to the sea and chanting with the Hamas people and everything else. | ||
| He now has 61% chance of winning over Andrew Cuomo, who's only at 38%. | ||
| Look, I have no love for Andrew Cuomo. | ||
| He was one of the worst during COVID and he sent all of those old people back into the homes and it literally killed plenty of people. | ||
| We all know that for sure. | ||
| He's not great, but he at least is some quasi version of a sane centrist, as much as you can be in a modern Democrat party. | ||
| Zorhan Mamdami is a bad dude. | ||
| And I am telling you, if you are Jewish, because it starts with the Jews, but if you're anyone that is a freedom-loving person that wants law and order and doesn't want the ever-encroaching state and non-stop mob violence, you will have to leave New York City if this guy becomes mayor. | ||
| Here he is talking about how Muslims belong in City Hall. | ||
| Alhamdulillah, there are a million Muslims in this city. | ||

200,000 of us are registered to vote as Democrats. | |
| In the last election, only 7% of us voted. | ||
| Now, I will not blame anyone because often it feels like there isn't much to vote for. | ||
| But this June 24th, with early voting starting tomorrow, it is an opportunity to vote for. | ||
| An opportunity for us to show that Muslims don't just belong in New York City, we also belong in City Hall. | ||
| Okay, to some extent he's not wrong. | ||
| I believe that any law-abiding legal citizen of the United States can hold any office that is possible. | ||
| Now, his political beliefs are quite horrible, and it's not just as it pertains to Hamas and everything else. | ||
| He wants to take over rent control from private people who are renting apartments. | ||
| He is a socialist. | ||
| He is a self-described Democratic socialist. | ||
| And as you know, they only say Democratic socialist until they drop the Democrat part, and then they are just socialists. | ||
| But everything about this guy is this ridiculously pandering, curated facade of a person. | ||
| It's the same thing as AOC. | ||
| Why is it that all the Democrats in Kamala did this and Obama used to do it? | ||
| They all have different fake accents depending on who they're talking to. | ||
| Here is Zorhan being confronted on his use of fake accents. | ||
| This is actually hilarious. | ||
| Go. | ||
| Because I think that New Yorkers, more than they hate a politician they disagree with, they hate a politician they can't trust. | ||

On the subject of trust, you've adopted different speaking accents in different scenarios. | |

Worldwide Tor is a worldwide tour, is a worldwide toy. | |
| Mamdani was talking about a worldwide press tour back when he was a rapper. | ||
| Bring the flavor to the fish, bring the flavor to the rice, bring the flavor to the rice. | ||
| In a Disney movie directed by his mother. | ||
| Nepotism and hard work goes a long way. | ||
| Here in New York City, this is how I speak. | ||
| This is how I am. | ||
| Do you believe in the First Amendment, Dominic? | ||
| Deeply inauthentic, pure radical, fake accent. | ||
| You know what's funny? | ||
| When the India-Pakistan thing was happening a couple weeks ago, I was doing the Indian accent a couple of times, but I was doing it to illustrate a point and be funny in a situation that maybe wasn't so funny. | ||
| I wasn't pretending that's the way I speak so it would identify with more Indian viewers. | ||
| And we do have a lot of Indian viewers. | ||
| I think the fourth biggest country of our viewership is Indian. | ||
| Like, it's just pandering drivel. | ||
| And here he is admitting that he is a Democrat socialist, which again is just a socialist. | ||
| For me, you know, when you ask, what does it mean to be a democratic socialist? | ||
| For me, it means to be fighting for a society in which dignity is guaranteed to each and every member of this place. | ||
| And I believe that the state should play a critical role in the distribution of that dignity and ensuring that that dignity is actually received. | ||
| This is one case where Republicans would be correct. | ||
| There are taxes that I want to raise. | ||
| They would like to portray this as me trying to raise taxes on someone making 50, 60, 70K, which is not the case. | ||
| What we need to do is raise taxes on those who have more than enough and share a little bit more with the rest of the society. | ||
| There's nothing hidden from plain view about who I am and what I want to fight for. | ||
| I'm not secretly telling everyone I'm a socialist now. | ||
| This is something we built the campaign around. | ||
| Phoenix, can I quote you on that one? | ||
| Phoenix in the middle of that said, fuck this guy. | ||
| And that's right. | ||
| There's a couple of things there. | ||
| Dignity is guaranteed. | ||
| The state should distribute dignity. | ||
| Like, try to unpack that in your mind. | ||
| The state should distribute dignity. | ||
| No, you know, dignity is earned. | ||
| Dignity is earned by having honor and being a good person. | ||
| Then you become dignified and someone might respond to you in a dignified way. | ||
| You want the state to distribute dignity? | ||
| It's completely absurd. | ||
| Again, I suppose it sounds good to a certain type of brain-damaged person. | ||
| Well, if we vote for this man, they're going to distribute dignity. | ||
| I'm going to get a little card and it'll say I'm dignified and I'll wear a smoking jacket and look at me. | ||
| No, it does not work this way. | ||
| Then, of course, the thing with the taxes, okay, you want to pick a random number and say, you have enough. | ||
| You over there, you have enough. | ||
| So I need more of your stuff so I can give it to these people. | ||
| And once you do that, guess what? | ||
| These people that you gave it to, they're always going to want more. | ||
| And these people who are creating, at some point, they're going to go, you know what, I've had just about enough of this. | ||
| And they're going to leave and they're going to go to no tax states like Florida and Texas and Tennessee, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| And there is all sorts of evidence of that. | ||
| There has been a massive fleeing of the tax base of California. | ||
| So then Newsom raises taxes on the remaining people because you pushed out the other people. | ||
| And the same thing is happening in New York. | ||
| And then these people, the other thing is these are the creators. | ||
| So then these people come and they build and move businesses to places like Florida. | ||
| I had two businesses when I got to Florida. | ||
| I now have four businesses and employ people here, right? | ||
| Because this place has created the conditions that if you want to build a business, we're going to help you do it rather than punishing you for have ideas and trying to be successful on your own. | ||
| This is a bit of a throwaway, but Mondani also did a music video. | ||

Go ahead, make a rap for your nanny. | |

| Come through, give a dab to your naughty. | ||
| If you're really feeling good, spin the track for your naughty. | ||
| Make a rap for your 90. It's a rap. | ||
| Get the grouse, spend a rap when you're 90. Come through, give a dab to your 90. If you're really feeling good, spend a track for your 90. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. | ||

| I'm going to just mail in. | ||
| I don't belong in New York City anymore, but I'm sure there is a way to cheat and mail in a vote from Florida. | ||
| I once lived in New York, right? | ||
| I must have a Time Warner cable bill somewhere that'll prove it. | ||
| Like, good luck, New York. | ||
| And that starts today. | ||
| It starts today. | ||
| And good luck. | ||
| And I'm telling you, if that man wins, if you are a sane person, you must leave. | ||
| It is as simple as that. | ||
| All right, so we'll get in with two things here. | ||
| The Democrats can make a choice, and thus much of the country can make a choice. | ||
| Do you want to just continue going with the crazy people, the liars, the people who break everything, the people who call everybody white supremacists, the people who let all the bad people in and all the things, the people with fake eyelashes and crazy shoulder pads? | ||
| Go now. | ||
| Kamala Harris, light years ahead of Donald Trump as it relates to qualifications, as it relates to her overall resume, and as it relates to the fact that she was a lot younger. | ||
| Everybody said that they wanted to get rid of Joe Biden because he was too old. | ||
| Then you had a younger, qualified, non-felon candidate, and somehow the people still chose the old white man. | ||
| Rue McClanahan would be proud herself of those shoulder pads. | ||
| But okay, so you can go with more of those people who just lie about everything, get everything wrong, don't care about the country, tell us we're all evil. | ||
| Or we can do a little bit of this. | ||
| I would prefer to do this. | ||

| Well, the English translation is Musqueam View. |
