They're less use it in the world. | |
| so All right, guys. | ||
| My first week back on the grid is almost coming to a close, which means it's Friday and time for another round table extravaganza. | ||
| I'm still Dave Rubin. | ||
| This is still the Ruben Report, and joining me are the hosts of the Members Club Podcasts, Aaron Wexler and Charlie Arnold. | ||
| Ladies, how are you? | ||
| We're great. | ||
| Wouldn't it be interesting if you came back and you weren't still the same person? | ||
| In some ways, I'm a different person, but my name is still the same. | ||
| And the name to go through the branding exercise of changing all this would be an awful lot. | ||
| I do have to say I think this is going to be one of the best shows we've ever done. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| I feel that I see what you did there. | ||
| This show is going to be very large and wonderful. | ||
| But before we get to that, uh I just want to remind people, real quick, the Dumper in this world tour is continuing in another content. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I'm going to Australia with the kangaroos and the koalas and the giant lizards and insects and things. | ||
| I'll be at the Capitol Theater in Melbourne, Australia on A on October 18th with former Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson. | ||
| He'll also be joining me at Concourse Concert Hall in Sydney on October 21st. | ||
| And then I'll be at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Center on October 27th with British journalist Andrew Neal. | ||
| But enough about me, ladies. | ||
| Let's dive into the week that was, you know, I stepped away from all of this. | ||
| I come back. | ||
| Things are basically crazy, but you guys launched a podcast. | ||
| You seem to be handling the crazy well. | ||
| Let's see if we can decipher some of it. | ||
| Uh let's just Do we have a choice? | ||
| Do we have a choice? | ||
| Well, we don't. | ||
| Well, I suppose we we deal with what we're dealt. | ||
| That's that's the name of the game here, so we're just rolling with the punches. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And Charlie, if I'm not mistaken, you you live in New York, is that right? | ||
| I'm in New York. | ||
| You are in New York. | ||
| Crazy is the name of the game. | ||
| Right, so we'll send her letters, Dave, when she's no longer allowed to leave when Zoran Mom Donnie's higher, you know. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| Aaron, I know. | ||
| Send her care packages. | ||
| We'll sneak, we'll sneak notes in into the food. | ||
| Well, Aaron, I know you just moved into a new place. | ||
| Do you have an extra room in case when sh goes down and Charlie has to get out? | ||
| People might not know this because Charlie's personality is so big, but she's actually like a very petite woman, so it'd be very easy to fit her anywhere in the apartment. | ||
| Just stow me somewhere. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anywhere. | |
| Shumpy somewhere, who cares? | ||
| All right. | ||
| Well, let's talk. | ||
| We're not gonna start with New York specifically, but obviously, what's generally going on in our cities, this has been years of this nonsense already, largely because of Democrats and Joe Biden or the autopen letting in 21 some odd million people and not having policing and allowing drugs and homelessness and crime and all of those things. | ||
| Uh it's not going well in the cities. | ||
| There's been a lot of focus on uh Chicago lately and what we are doing or what Trump is doing as it pertains to sending ice and feds in and all that. | ||
| Uh here is border czar Tom Holman saying, yeah, we're gonna flood the zone, we're going into Chicago, LA, New York, and more. | ||
| Let me just begin with Chicago, which is very much in the news. | ||
| Uh president is getting ready, I guess, to send the National Guard into Chicago. | ||
| And you can tell us you're gonna be a part of this. | ||
| Your agents, your ice agents. | ||
| Chicago believes it's a sanctuary city, but I don't think that's going to stop you with respect to criminals. | ||
| Can you tell us what's gonna happen here, sir? | ||
| Look, it hasn't stopped us from day one. | ||
| We took a lot of public safety threats and national security threats alter streets in one day, which made Chicago safer. | ||
| Got a lot more work to do. | ||
| President Trump is committed. | ||
| We're gonna focus on sanctuary cities. | ||
| That's what we're gonna prioritize because we know we have a problem there. | ||
| So there is gonna be, as I said several weeks ago, We're gonna we're gonna flood the zone in sanctuary cities like Chicago, like Los Angeles, like San Francisco, and New York. | ||
| We're gonna flood the zone in Chicago's one of them. | ||
| We're gonna go there and make Chicago safe again. | ||
| President Trump committed that to American people and the men and women of ICE and the board patrols are gonna keep his promise. | ||
| Charlie, uh Aaron and I live here in Florida. | ||
| Uh you live in New York where your zone is about to be flooded. | ||
| How do you feel about that? | ||
| I feel really good about it. | ||
| Um I I just the the term flood the zone. | ||
| I mean, just like the boldness, the the emphasis he puts on what's going to happen. | ||
| I'm I'm all about all about it. | ||
| I mean, the fact that we're a sanctuary city I never agreed with from the very beginning. | ||
| I mean, when you look at even um our mayor right now, Eric Adams, who, you know, may or may not be running come November, uh, given the recent developments we'll see. | ||
| Um, he has aligned himself greatly with Trump. | ||
| He certainly seems to be on board with the immigration policies. | ||
| The problem is there's now these city policies that won't allow him to do his job properly. | ||
| So, yes, the zone needs to be flooded because even, for example, here in New York City, the mayor's hands are tied, so he can't even take care of the safety of the people who live here, the dignity of the people who live here. | ||
| So absolutely, if we need really brute force to get the job done and make these cities safer and get things running smoothly again, and not just protecting, you know, people like me and you, but also law enforcement. | ||
| We've seen what's happened recently. | ||
| I mean, just this in the summer, um, an NYPD officer was attacked by an illegal. | ||
| So yeah, I'm all about it. | ||
| I think it's a great idea, and I think it needs to happen sooner than later. | ||
| Aaron, I know we can always talk about how wonderful Florida is, but doesn't it to some degree seem just completely? | ||
| Well, Aaron's from New York. | ||
| Aaron's from New York. | ||
| Let's go remind everybody. | ||
| I'm from New York too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pre- So it was like dark past Charlie. | |
| Right. | ||
| We escaped. | ||
| I think you're giving her credit there. | ||
| But but but in some sense, when you move to a place where things work, you just go about your life and things work, and it's great and wonderful, and you don't have to think about it. | ||
| And then you see these things and you're like, how in the high hell does any sane person subject themselves to it? | ||
| So to me, if you're a sane New Yorker, you want that uh zone flooded right now. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I think the only people who are against this are the limousine liberals, right? | ||
| The the what do they call them? | ||
| Champagne socialists, right? | ||
| Everyone wants this. | ||
| And I do want to give Charlie credit, and I want to give Republicans in red states credit. | ||
| Charlie, don't get used to this. | ||
| You know, this is not how like our love language is usually trash talk. | ||
| So, but I do want to say that we need these cities for America to be great. | ||
| New York City is the economic powerhouse of America and the world. | ||
| I don't want to see it crumble. | ||
| I want to see New York be great again. | ||
| What's amazing about all of this though is to the points before on the stats you were giving what Tom Holman was saying, it's amazing what you can do when you actually care and just do something about a problem. | ||
| But no, it is it's really nice just retreating to Florida where life is candy land. | ||
| But we need to make sure New York is just a safe place for people to go and do business. | ||
| So thank you, Trump. | ||
| Right. | ||
| For the record, for the record, as two former New Yorkers and a current New Yorker, we would all love for New York to be great again. | ||
| I don't I I it's extremely sad when I go back. | ||
| I usually only go back to do Gutfeld at this point, and I go to Midtown, and it's just like this is not the place that I grew up in anymore. | ||
| Uh Charlie, do you have something? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, I also just think you're noticing even like the people who used to just shy away from touching hot button issues like these, like Morning Joe, for example, on MSNBC. | ||
| You would never in the past have heard them question democratic policies. | ||
| Now all of a sudden you've got Joe Scarborough like coming right at him, you know, like JB Pritzker, Brandon Um Johnson's name, the mayor Johnson, Brandon Johnson. | ||
| Um, you know, he's like, what are they doing? | ||
| If if they're not gonna take care of the people in Chicago, then what option do, you know, do we have here? | ||
| You never would have heard him talk like that in the past, but suddenly everyone's getting sick of it. | ||
| They're like, wait a second, like there is a real problem. | ||
| We know there's a real problem. | ||
| We know you know there's a real problem, and we're just not gonna do anything about it. | ||
| So Chicago, let's focus on Chicago for a sec, because there's something super interesting happening in Chicago where it's not just obviously the illegal immigration problem because they were a sanctuary city, but also the endless amount of murders. | ||
| 7,000 murders in 10 years. | ||
| We check the numbers. | ||
| That's 700 murders a year. | ||
| We'll see where 2025 shakes out. | ||
| But here's a uh report from CBS Chicago talking about how Trump's gonna try to tackle both those things, the illegal part and then the sort of general criminality and gang violence part at the same time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Breaking news now there is word from Washington that the Trump administration is planning to conduct a major immigration enforcement operation right here in Chicago. | |
| Sources confirmed to CBS News that that could include armored trucks, federal troops, and ICE agents flooding the city. | ||
| This morning city leaders briefed a group of reporters, including CBS News Chicago investigator Megan DeMar, she is with me now to talk about this plan and what you learned. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So multiple sources tell us that that that expected deployment is expected by next Friday, September 5th. | ||
| Now, Mayor Johnson said they've heard the same reports, but they that about ICE agents, about possible deployment of National Guards, but they haven't had any direct communication from the federal government. | ||
| Um Aaron, I don't really care what people's skin color is. | ||
| It turns out that most of the people that are killed in Chicago are black people killed by other black people, usually in gang and or drug-related violence. | ||
| The left purports to be for black people, but seemingly is very upset when someone goes in to try to stop the black people from being killed. | ||
| I spoke very slowly there to illustrate a point because I'm trying to convince these people that maybe this is actually a good thing. | ||
| I don't think it's gonna work, though. | ||
| No, I mean, uh the thing that we don't talk about enough when we talk about Chicago specifically is that our first gay president, Barack Obama, has done absolutely nothing to help the people of Chicago, the man who's you know, the community organizer, the only job he had basically before becoming president of the United States, if he cared about black Americans, this would be his number one issue. | ||
| And instead, where was he last week? | ||
| Probably on Martha's Vineyard, right? | ||
| Where there's another drowned chef in the water somewhere. | ||
| So, yeah, no, of course, that we all know that black Americans want to be safe the way that everyone else wants to be safe in their neighborhood. | ||
| And so it's absolutely uh-oh. | ||
| My video keeps freezing. | ||
| I'm not sure why, guys. | ||
| Sorry, hopefully you can still see me. | ||
| But yes, we uh this is an issue that that it's like the white savior has decided for black people that they don't really want the police when black Americans are saying they want safer neighborhoods. | ||
| This is something that they actually want. | ||
| And white people are saying, no, no, you're good. | ||
| Keep shooting to each other. | ||
| Charlie, if we were really trying to get in the head of one of these people that don't want these things fixed. | ||
| Let's say you're in the head of Brandon Johnson. | ||
| Like, what do you think the argument is for every week, you know, 20, you know, it's usually about 30 people get shot, about a dozen people killed. | ||
| Again, almost all black. | ||
| But putting aside race or anything else, like what what would you think the best argument that they could make for why they are allowing this happen would be if we were really trying to kind of steel man their position. | ||
| I mean, it's it's tough to really say. | ||
| I mean, you could you could go back to the question of why did Joe Biden allow millions upon millions upon millions of illegals to pour into the country during his administration. | ||
| I mean, there is like different arguments that could be made. | ||
| You know, he was trying to uh repopulate the United States to become more democratic, to become more liberal, more progressive, to which they would then vote for more liberal and progressive and democratic candidates in future elections, and therefore, you know, someone like Trump would never get into office. | ||
| I mean, I'm not really understanding when you when you hear him speak on public programs on news programs, he can't even give a straight answer as to why he's not doing anything to protect his can his constituents. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So um, your guess is as good as mine. | |
| I'm I'm just happy that um I don't live in Chicago, although I don't live in like somewhere that I can so much brag about the policies. | ||
| Um, but I actually do like Eric Adams, and I do think he has many of our best interests. | ||
| I just think his hands are tied in his specific situation as as far as what he can do. | ||
| But um, what what do you think is gonna happen in New York, as long as you brought up Eric Adams. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, the guy's poll I last I saw time Charlie starts learning some Arabic, that's what I think. | |
| Well, you know, there's there's now the I don't I don't know if it's even fair to call them rumors at this point, reports. | ||
| I'm not really sure that you know Trump is looking to perhaps pull Eric Adams into a White House position, um, something that would take him then out of the mayoral race because it doesn't look like he's going to win. | ||
| Uh, it doesn't look like you know anyone besides Mundami has a shot at winning if we have three, it's you know, three against one. | ||
| This is what I've been saying along. | ||
| I'm like, Trump needs to step in. | ||
| He needs to protect the professional and personal elements of probably Sleewa, I would imagine, and in Eric Adams, and say, listen, you cannot run. | ||
| We need all of our eggs in one basket if we're going to defeat this socialist nut case. | ||
| And it looks like that's you know what's starting to to exactly happen. | ||
| So you and you think that basket is Andrew Cuomo. | ||
| I I do. | ||
| I do. | ||
| I think I think while a lot of people have their problems with Cuomo, I think they still know what they're getting with Andrew Cuomo because he's already been in office and there's like a little bit of comfort in, okay, we've seen what you can do. | ||
| Is it the greatest? | ||
| No. | ||
| Is it the worst? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| But there's nothing. | ||
| Kill tens of thousands of elderly. | ||
| He shouldn't have killed all those old people because they're not going to be able to do that. | ||
| Listen, I understand. | ||
| I understand, but like putting that aside, and that was horrible. | ||
| And I don't want to, you know, I don't want to. | ||
| Charlie, I'm just I'm giving you a hard time. | ||
| I'm with you. | ||
| I think that's a good thing. | ||
| Yeah, no, no. | ||
| Every same person is with you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| For one day, every New Yorker needs to be a quomosexual and vote for Andrew Cuomo and save the city. | ||
| Dave, if I can actually make a DJ request for another show close to the election, I actually think we need a campaign against Curtis Lewa. | ||
| The man he's actually the only one who can't be bought, which is crazy because he's the one we need to make sure leaves the race. | ||
| He's been running for mayor of New York City since I can remember as a child. | ||
| And in the last election, when they asked him what's the issue you care the most about, he said saving the cats. | ||
| Saving the cats. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Is there a personality? | ||
| So what song are you requesting? | ||
| Yes, and what's the case? | ||
| My seeker request is a topic. | ||
| No, the topic of Curtis Lewa and a smear campaign. | ||
| I'm actively openly asking to get get Curtis out of the race because Cuomo can be bought Cuomo, Adams. | ||
| They could both be bribed out of running for mayor. | ||
| They could both be given positions in law firms or in an admin and they'll they'll drop out. | ||
| But we need it to be Andrew Cuomo for the r for the name recognition alone. | ||
| Curtis Libo has unrealistically selfishly running and taking votes away. | ||
| God, what what a sad state of affairs that it has to be any of these. | ||
| Charlie, I do agree with you, by the way. | ||
| It's not that Cuomo's hard. | ||
| Yes, he's he has he done some seriously stupid stuff, especially during COVID. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| He's not a horrible human being. | ||
| He's not a radical lunatic leftist. | ||
| But that the idea that he's the savior or Eric Adams, who it sounds like you both kind of like a little more than I do, because to me he ushered in so much of this that he's the savior of the very city he largely destroyed also the. | ||
| He did usher in a lot. | ||
| I think he realized very quickly what was I mean, you know. | ||
| Listen, Eric Adams, I think he he's he's built a little bit differently. | ||
| I'm not saying he's built well, but like he's the guy we've been seeing at zero bond. | ||
| He's the guy that has like the corner table at all of the hottest restaurants. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like he's mixing and mingling, not just with people politically. | |
| He's like trying to build himself up and build a life for himself that's interesting to him. | ||
| And I think he's also realizing, hey, a lot of these people, they are not down with the policies of the city. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So what do I do to appease them as well? | |
| And that's what he started like getting more in withdrawal. | ||
| Well, if we're slightly having trouble ordering which is the worst of the saviors here, let's go to someone who I'm pretty sure we can all agree is quite horrific and thankfully no longer in public life, although uh she was one. | ||
| I mean, the idea that that Brandon Johnson is worse than this woman is extraordinary. | ||
| Lori Lightfoot, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| If he comes to Chicago, he's gonna be in court. | ||
| And it's it's gonna be he's gonna be sued by the state, he's gonna be sued by the city, and I believe that there would private interests that also sue him. | ||
| This is not about violent crime. | ||
| And I don't think we should pretend that this manufactured crisis and his attempt to provoke people in Chicago is legitimate exercise of power. | ||
| It is not. | ||
| If he really cared about violent crime, go after the uh gun manufacturers who are just mass producing these weapons and have no liability or accountability. | ||
| Go after the gun stores that know that they're selling to straw purchasers that flood into our city, pass common sense gun reform that we have been begging for for decades. | ||
| Those are the kinds of things that actually would make a meaningful difference in violent crime. | ||
| He's not talking about any of those things. | ||
| He will not do any of those things because this is not about violent crime. | ||
| It's about something else. | ||
| Aaron, do I have to ask a question there? | ||
| You want to just talk about Lori Lightfoot. | ||
| Let me just excuse them stuff first. | ||
| Let's talk about Dave, you know me too well. | ||
| Uh, first, every time I look at Lori Lightfoot, I really did just think I did not prep this, so it might come out all wrong. | ||
| But she reminds me of a bouncer at the back door of a bad jazz club that you see at 3 a.m. is trying to like bomb a cigarette from you. | ||
| There's something about the way she's dressed that I would call the boyfriend look, except we know it's not from her boyfriend. | ||
| It's like an ill-fitting, and like it really is. | ||
| I'm not trying to be luxist, but at the same time, when someone makes a choice to have their hair like that, you have to wonder what's going on inside. | ||
| And is it, Lori, is it a cry for help that that's the hair situation you always choose. | ||
| So no, I mean, they're all posturing. | ||
| Everyone's always like passing the puck up. | ||
| It's a puck, buck, passing whatever, kicking the can down the road to someone else when it comes to problems that they created when they she was in office. | ||
| She could have done many things. | ||
| I'd what I would love to know a single accomplishment that Lori Lightfoot actually point to from her. | ||
| Oh, we have one. | ||
| We have one. | ||
| or waiting for somebody to maybe say Lori Lightfoot's never accomplished anything in her tenure as mayor because look at this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my God. | |
| You know, I get to see your faces when we play these things. | ||
| The audience doesn't. | ||
| Have neither one of you have neither one of you seen that clip before. | ||
| That was Lori Lightfoot. | ||
| I think I've lapped it out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So who doesn't have any accomplishments now, Aaron? | |
| You're so I've got to be. | ||
| Well, no Aaron, would you like to walk back your statement? | ||
| Yes, I feel like you owe her an apology, a big one. | ||
| Yeah, thank you for correcting me on air on this record, Dave. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| No, she looks worse than the fake Wuhan bat we were told about. | ||
| I just can't. | ||
| I I you it's years. | ||
| This is years ago, right? | ||
| At this point, it must be five years ago, and she somehow looks worse. | ||
| Charlie, the temerity of these people who get everything wrong. | ||
| Like again, why does it Lori Lightfoot is black? | ||
| I assume as a good progressive, she cares whether black people are getting killed. | ||
| And yet not only did she do nothing, the new mayor is doing nothing, and they're pissed at the people that are trying to do something. | ||
| I don't think that she's worried about anybody because if she could call the violence in Chicago a manufactured problem. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Concocted by Trump. | ||
| Uh that tells you all you need to know. | ||
| I mean, anybody who's paying even a slight bit of attention, Chicago has a horrific crime rate. | ||
| And in fact, you know, recently over the weekend, we saw it skyrocket. | ||
| Everybody's talking about it. | ||
| There's nothing manufactured about those numbers. | ||
| Those are cold hard facts. | ||
| Something needs to be done. | ||
| But clearly, if she's willing to just like so boldly come out and say there is no issue, and she expects people to just get on board with her. | ||
| I mean, she doesn't believe she doesn't believe a word that she says, but you know, these are the talking points that she has been told to say out loud, and she's maybe maybe she does believe them herself. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Just like Letitia James recently said that Zoran Mandami was born and raised in the Bronx, and we all know he's from Uganda. | ||
| Yes, like AOC was born and raised in the Bronx, even though she's not these people. | ||
| All right, let's talk about PDS debt for a minute, and then we will not show you any other video of Lori Lightfoot. | ||
| I promise. | ||
| The system isn't broken, it's rigged. | ||
| And if you're buried in debt, that's exactly how they want it. | ||

| Okay, so there's some really wacky stuff involving Robert F. Kennedy and a congressional hearing that's been happening over the last 24 hours or so. | ||
| But let me first jump to this story from Fox News, the headline uh about what's going on with HHS right now as he's trying to clean it up. | ||
| More than a thousand HHS workers demand Kennedy resignation over CDC director firing and agency changes. | ||
| So look, Bobby's going in with the Maha thing, saying we're getting rid of these draconian laws. | ||
| We're not going to do mandates again, we're gonna look at vaccines. | ||
| He's doing all of the things he promised, all of the reasons that Maha joined MAGA. | ||
| This has people seriously pissed. | ||
| Frankly, to me, you fire every single one of those people yesterday. | ||
| They should all be gone. | ||
| Um before I have you guys chime in. | ||
| He then testifies this was this was the viral clip of yesterday on the interwebs. | ||
| He testifies at Congress uh and Elizabeth Warren was not too happy with him. | ||
| Are effectively denying people vaccines. | ||
| We're not gonna recommend a product for which there's no clinical data for that indication, which is that what I should be doing. | ||
| What you should be doing is honoring your promise that you made when you were looking to get confirmed in this job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're going like this. | |
| That is you promised that you would not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them. | ||
| You just changed the classification of the COVID vaccine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not taking them away from people, Senator. | |
| It takes it away if you can't get it from your pharmacists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, most Americans are gonna be able to get it from their pharmacy for free. | |
| Most Americans will be able to get it from their pharmacy for free. | ||
| The question is, everyone who wants it, that was your promise. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm like, I never promised that I was gonna recommend products with which there is no indication. | |
| When you said 855,000 from pharmaceutical companies, Senator. | ||
| Did you hold up a big sign saying that you were lying when you said that? | ||
| Because you are the one who said you would not take them away. | ||
| Now, Senator I'm not taking them away from it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Secretary, you want me to indicate a product for which there is no clinical total. | |
| It is so obvious to me that that's the woman in the movie who's supposed to be like the like indifferent sort of quiet librarian who then eats children after school. | ||
| That's that's number one. | ||
| Uh number two, um, he's not taking away vaccines from anybody. | ||
| All he's saying is the government isn't going to recommend things that we don't have enough information about. | ||
| Kind of like the COVID vaccine, but you can still go get it at CBS or Walgreens if you want to. | ||
| Charlie, I just don't like this woman. | ||
| And and Bobby should just not be subjected to this, but it's just never gonna end. | ||
| They hate a trader more than anyone else. | ||
| A traitor. | ||
| First of all, when he's when he said you've taken 855,000, I thought he was about to say you've taken 855,000 boosters. | ||
| Like I was waiting for him to come at her with that. | ||
| And I was like, oh my gosh, I was ready for it. | ||
| I like started laughing in advance. | ||
| And I was like, oh no, he's not gonna say that. | ||
| But she probably has taken 855,000 boosters, which is, you know, a problem in itself. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Um, you know, we we all after having now several years to look at, let's just use the COVID vaccine as the prime example as to something that was shoved down our throats, not just recommended, but demanded for most people who wanted to keep their jobs and you know, and stay alive. | ||
| You know, a lot of people, there's like all this fear mongering going on. | ||
| And now we have the retrospect to be like, no, not only was it not necessary or or fruitful in in the terms of helping the virus not to spread per se, but also there's a lot of horrible side effects people are now realizing. | ||
| So, you know, it's it's you know, when we have that information in RFK is like, no, you know, I'm I'm not going to recommend something that is not proven to help anybody. | ||
| In fact, in many cases has been proven to hurt people. | ||
| This is the type of person we want more of. | ||
| So to have someone like Elizabeth Warren be like, I can't believe you. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| You're breaking your promises, absolutely not. | ||
| He's doing everything and more he said he's going to do. | ||
| And I want to see more people like RFK Jr. in office helping us to get to the right place because I mean we stick with the old. | ||
| We all know what's going to happen, right? | ||
| He's he's the new way, and we need to make America healthy again. | ||
| Aaron, what do we do about the disconnect, the reality disconnect on all this stuff? | ||
| Because obviously we watch this. | ||
| Everyone watching my show is watching it, going, of course, Bobby's right. | ||
| You don't the government doesn't have to recommend it. | ||
| And if you want to stick something in your body, go ahead and do it. | ||
| It doesn't mean the government has to recommend it, knows that she's lying, knows that she takes money from pharmaceuticals, even if that's not the reason she's doing it. | ||
| What do we do about the general disconnect? | ||
| That there are still millions of people that will watch that clip, or it'll be shown on other, you know, lefty YouTube channels or whatever it is, that are gonna watch it and be like, Bobby Kennedy's hiding vaccines for people and like how are we ever going to arbitrage these two realities? | ||
| Yeah, you know, when I watched that clip, I was thinking if Elizabeth Warren were actually Native American, her name would be She Who Cries Crocodile Tears. | ||
| Because we all know she didn't, she couldn't even, she sounded like she was trying to cry, right? | ||
| She's like she was trying to be upset, but it wasn't even working. | ||
| She couldn't even convince herself because she knows what she's saying is patently false. | ||
| He is saying to her, I'm not, like you you both pointed out, I'm not getting rid of these vaccines. | ||
| We're just not forcing it on people. | ||
| And there are two problems there. | ||
| The first is that the left has gotten very high on their own supply of being the authoritarian ruling class of this country. | ||
| And they love the control. | ||
| That was COVID, right? | ||
| Take the job. | ||
| It doesn't matter which one or how many. | ||
| It doesn't matter if it's one with J and Day or Jay or two and with Pfizer. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| You just have to prove that you listened to us and you submitted. | ||
| And with the left, it's always about submission, and they're losing that power, and the loss of that control is making them absolutely spiral. | ||
| But the second thing is, and like, you know, I usually like to be funny about this stuff, but this is so deeply unfunny to me, which is I think really this boils down to I know it is it sounds like a non sequitur almost, but the trans issue to me is where all these other problems stem from, which is the left has decided to distort reality, right? | ||
| So we have RFK saying you don't have to take the vaccines, they're still available, and she says you're getting rid of them, right? | ||
| A boy is a boy, a girl is a girl. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| Like we're dealing with half of the country that refuses just to acknowledge the same data set, the same set of facts that we can't even agree on just basic truths anymore. | ||
| And we're just talking past each other. | ||
| There is no more intellectual honesty, right? | ||
| It's the she could just be honest and say, this is okay. | ||
| Not everything that Trump or his administration or RFK, whatever they do, not everything needs the knee-jerk reactions of the left to oppose it. | ||
| But I like this is why I get very specific on pronouns and language, because if we let people slide away with distorting reality, that's when you get a hearing like this where a sitting Congresswoman refuses to acknowledge what RFK is saying. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And they do this with all the words and all the phrases. | ||
| Gender affirming care. | ||
| It's the least affirming thing you could do when you chop off a child's genitals. | ||
| But okay, let's leave that. | ||
| We will jump. | ||
| Uh, it turns out that Donald Trump did not die earlier in the week. | ||
| That had some people very upset. | ||

| So Stephen Colbert, a man who makes 20 million dollars for one more year to host a show that loses 50 million dollars a year. | ||
| Show me the math on that. | ||
| Uh he's almost out of a job, but here he is uh talking about how there was a hoax going on uh over the Labor Day weekend that Donald Trump had died. | ||
| Turns out Donald Trump, thank God, did not die. | ||
| Colbert's audience was, let's say, uh less than enthused. | ||
| Came back. | ||
| When I came back in the office, I was shocked to learn that this weekend, the biggest story was frenzied social media rumors speculating whether Donald Trump had died. | ||
| For the record, Donald Trump is very much alive. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We like our president's alive. | |
| Donald Trump is very much alive, and this whole crazy rumor started simply because Trump had zero events on his schedule Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. | ||
| And one of the only signs that he might still be around was music in the rose garden, which the White House confirmed was the president's music. | ||
| Which I gotta say is not the strongest proof of life. | ||
| Yes, Nurse, I do see that flat line, but the patient is clearly alive because his iPhone is playing Papa loves Mambo. | ||
| Papa loves Mambo. | ||
| Anyway, but because yes, it's obviously overly scripted. | ||
| They're telling people when to laugh. | ||
| He knows it's not even funny. | ||
| He's embarrassed, sort of when they boo, even though he's ginned them up for all of this stuff. | ||
| Like, is let's put aside Trump the the hoax for a second. | ||
| Like the idea that these shows even exist at this point is almost patently ridiculous, right, Charlie. | ||
| Well, yeah, it's like the view. | ||
| I mean, the view is like the most extreme example. | ||
| How listen, all I have to say is I'm so grateful. | ||
| I'm so grateful I do not have a mother that watches the view because how do you do how do you defend that? | ||
| I mean, it's just one of those things. | ||
| I I truly don't understand what type of person goes, finds it entertaining, tells their friends about it, repeats the things they heard. | ||
| I mean, I guess for like for one, like some of these shows are all for show, right? | ||
| Like it used to be cool to go to like Jimmy Kimmel or like uh Jimmy Fallon. | ||
| I don't even remember all their names anymore. | ||
| Johnny Carson. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like it used to be cool to go on these shows, and now it's just like this big charade of lameness and people pretending to like it, and they I don't know. | ||
| You've got people from like these little tiny pockets like uh in the country that are like, I'm gonna go to these big cities and go to these shows and sit there and I'm gonna laugh because I feel like I should. | ||
| And like I just had my like cheap box wine before I came here, so maybe it's a little more funny than it normally would have been. | ||
| But um, yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I I don't go to those shows, so that answers your question. | ||
| I I don't really know. | ||
| I'm not there. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, they literally in the audience at these shows have a sign that tells you when to laugh. | ||
| That is all you need to do. | ||
| Aaron, Aaron, we almost did it. | ||
| We almost had a Ruben report first. | ||
| You already know what I'm gonna say. | ||
| I'm back this week. | ||
| Without mentioning the view was not mentioned once. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We didn't play a clip, nothing. | |
| I didn't even know that was a thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you're welcome. | |
| I I didn't want to break the streak. | ||
| It was uh get you, Dave. | ||
| For his for Dave's birthday, I got I planted trees in Israel in Sonny Hostin's. | ||
| In Sonny Hostin's name. | ||
| There's a Sunny Hostin tree in Israel for me. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, I mean, but also she knows this. | ||
| Can we can we talk about the fact that the hypocrisy of that clip specifically with Stephen Colbert talking about how the confirmation is the music? | ||
| You mean you're the same people that roughly a year ago took a letter signed by Joe Biden, dropping out of the presidential race when we had legitimately not seen the man, and you thought we were crazy for wondering where the president was. | ||
| Meanwhile, President Trump takes a holiday weekend to not solve global conflict or or if impose tariffs that work and don't cause inflation while markets go up or do one of a million other things that the man is doing on a daily basis. | ||
| My favorite thing though is on our podcast, which we shot yesterday, and you guys could find us, members club pod. | ||
| We're on YouTube. | ||
| Thanks so much. | ||
| Uh and uh shameless plug date. | ||
| But my favorite thing was asking Charlie, Charlie, where were you when you found out that Trump was dead? | ||
| And Charlie's answer was I actually found out he was dead when he was confirmed to be alive because I'd been unaware of these rumors. | ||
| It was crazy. | ||
| And it was like it was stuck in the blue sky like mental asylum chamber, right? | ||
| Where we didn't even know what was going on, that it was our headlines about what was happening over on the left side of the aisle. | ||
| I knew about it because liberal friends of mine were texting me asking me what happened to Trump. | ||
| And I knew it had to be fake because you go on, it's a it's a normal day on Twitter. | ||
| People in the White House are doing their work and posting about it, and and they got themselves into such a frenzy. | ||
| They convinced themselves with with wishful thinking, because again, this is the party who that's nihilistic. | ||
| They hate themselves, so they hate everyone else. | ||
| They want to sterilize the kids like that. | ||
| It's that party that wanted that it was so joyous that the president could possibly be dead. | ||
| Well, here's an unemployed woman uh talking about Trump's health. | ||
| Mainstream media will not touch these questions about Donald Trump's obviously declining health. | ||
| His ankles are the size of watermelons. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He'd he can barely they're like elephant legs, you know. | |
| They're like elephant legs, straight down legs. | ||
| Barely walk down a flight of stairs. | ||
| And that's not even new. | ||
| He's he he can barely walk up or down stairs. | ||
| When Joe Biden was president, I mean, where is Jake Tapper? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We got to live in speculation and not from just the Twitter world that was, of course, attacking Joe Biden and saying he was seen out or that he was dead. | ||
| There was a meme online that Joe Biden was deceased and that it was really Barack Obama running the country. | ||
| We had to hear that all on social media, but that bled right on to mainstream media who would constantly speculate about Joe Biden's health, whether he was uh fit enough to be president, whether he was going senile, if he ever slipped. | ||
| The guy had a stutter. | ||
| God forbid he stutters suddenly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Now with Trump, the mainstream media is so terrified of him. | ||
| Charlie is Joy Reed a natural blonde. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| The thing I noticed first and foremost, I like squinted. | ||
| I'm like, what is this black history hall of fame she's sitting in front of? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like that's her backdrop. | |
| Naturally, it would be. | ||
| Um, you know, I am a woman in my 30s and I get swollen angles sometime. | ||
| Like that's not something we need to be extremely worried about. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Like sometimes you get a little bloated, right? | ||
| When you're going from time zone to time zone, Trump's a busy guy. | ||
| Sometimes you get a little bit of extra bloating. | ||
| We weren't speculating about Joe Biden being senile. | ||
| We had evidence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We saw him constantly smelling little children. | |
| We saw him almost like veer off into the jungle after doing a press conference. | ||
| We saw him slip up the stairs of Air Force One. | ||
| We saw him stumbling on stage constantly. | ||
| We saw him forgetting what he was supposed to say. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, this was on a daily basis. | |
| We weren't speculating about anything. | ||
| So it's just, I mean, this is just the most insane double standard I have ever heard. | ||
| If we thought there was something really wrong with Trump, I really, really believe if something really showed up on a regular basis that was concerning, people would be talking about it because, you know, of course we want to support him, but we also are not going to prop up someone who's not fit to run this country. | ||
| And the good news is, guys, if God forbid Trump wasn't fit to run the country anymore, we have a phenomenal backup in JD Vance. | ||
| Not only is that a we would not be worried. | ||
| I like how you very subtly connected the smelling of children to the senility. | ||
| I'm pretty sure those things were completely unconnected, but you definitely like I think if you Google senility, it doesn't have anything to do with smelling children. | ||
| His smelling children thing was happening way before the senility. | ||
| But maybe though the fact that he was willing to the willing that the fact that he was willing to do it when he knew he was on camera, maybe shows that he was senile, right? | ||
| Because he was taking showers with Ashley Biden long before the senility set in. | ||
| So no excuses there, right? | ||
| Aaron, do you want to pile on joy, or should we just move on to Joe Biden eating ice cream for just one second? | ||
| Because yes. | ||
| If I could just add one thing, which is again the cultural appropriation of blonde hair From liberal black celebrities who insist that everything is cultural appropriation except when Joy Reed or Beyonce, whoever it is, does it, then that's fine. | ||
| Or whoopy Goldberg, you know, I did a petition. | ||
| Surprisingly, it didn't go anywhere to uh have her uh give up her culturally appropriated last name, Goldberg, never see her in synagogue, never seen her eat a bagel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And uh she eats this. | |
| Lots of them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's she eats them by the bag. | |
| She eats something. | ||
| The we'll do this very quickly because it's low-hanging fruit, but Joe Biden, the man that literally less than a year and a half ago, was still running to be president. | ||
| This is all he can do at this point, show up to an ice cream shop and listen to the way they talk to him and about him as if he's a five-year-old. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the whole family. | |
| Yeah, it's definitely one. | ||
| Guys, I know it's low-hanging fruit, it's ridiculous, it's pointless to talk about him. | ||
| He now also has cancer, which he likely had, and they hid and all of the stuff. | ||
| But but when you really look at that and you see the frailty and the way they're talking about him, and it's sort of like Dr. Jill Biden, remember after the debate, you answered all the questions. | ||
| The fact that they that they dare, that Joy Reed or any of these people, that they dare participate in anything as it pertains to Trump. | ||
| That is the man that they wanted to be president right now. | ||
| It really is deranged, Aaron. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, there's a part of me that now that he's out of office and we've moved on to better things. | ||
| A part of me feels a little sad for him and a little sorry, and the idea that maybe if he really is, he's been CNIL, perhaps everything started out of his control. | ||
| Like Dr. Joe Biden, by the way, the diet, Dr. Pepper sitting on my desk over here is more of a doctor than she is. | ||
| But you know, maybe this is really a case of elder abuse, and he didn't have a choice, and he was just being guided along and he couldn't say much. | ||
| I would think that, except when you look at his record for decades in U.S. government, he has always been extreme. | ||
| He has always hated half this country. | ||
| He has always supported some of the most vile policies that have been put forth. | ||
| So I don't feel badly at all. | ||
| I don't feel badly at all. | ||
| I hope he gets haunted through his days as he goes into public. | ||
| And I don't I don't feel sorry for him. | ||
| No just Yeah, I get it. | ||
| There's like the human part, and then there's this other part of like, sorry, you chose this thing, and then you're in a machine that's abusing you and everything else. | ||
| Uh Charlie. | ||
| Yeah, but I will say, you know what though, I have to say, and I because you know, I do feel like when you look at the left, they are the ones that constantly like you hear, like Dave, we can't forget the time the the way we met was on Piers Morgan and that crazy person who was like excited that Trump was shot at. | ||
| You know, like you hear you hear people like him saying, oh, like these people deserve what they get. | ||
| Like, listen, I still have a lot of human left in me, like politics aside, like I don't want to see anyone have cancer. | ||
| Um, I don't want to see anyone, you know, become uh uh a shell of themselves in a way that, you know, it's it's sad. | ||
| It is sad for me to see uh videos like that, but it also makes me sad that we as a country had that as our president and that like we were forced to believe that that was okay, and that we were all being gaslit into like that we were the horrible ones. | ||
| So um well, think about it. | ||
| He was president in this calendar year. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| In through January, he was our president. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| And also I didn't realize he was in Sava bonded. | ||
| You guys are trauma. | ||
| We are we are trauma bonded. | ||
| And I like seeing you guys do a little good cop, bad cop. | ||
| That's nice. | ||
| But now let's uh let's really pile on Charlie here because as we illustrated, she lives in New York. | ||
| They're about to become a uh socialist shithole run by jihadis and gender queer lunatics. | ||
| Uh here is Zorhan ma'am Danny uh talking about some of his policies. | ||
| A lot of what our campaign is portrayed as is if there is no precedent for it. | ||
| Think about democratic socialism. | ||
| I am a democratic socialist. | ||
| I also wouldn't be the first democratic socialist mayor. | ||
| We've had a number. | ||
| And we've even had a mayor who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. | ||
| That's David Dinkins. | ||
| You know, not just a few decades ago. | ||
| And people ask me, how can this interact with New York City being the home of global finance? | ||
| And I say my focus as a democratic socialist is ensuring that every New Yorker lives a dignified Life. | ||
| That is my responsibility to ensure that what you need, what is necessary for you, is something that you're not priced out of. | ||
| I believe that the city should provide universal child care. | ||
| It's my first week back. | ||
| I'm not going to say all the things. | ||
| David Dinkins. | ||
| We want you to say all the things. | ||
| David Dinkins was mayor of New York City when I lived in Long Island, and my great grandparents and grandparents and many cousins all lived in New York City, and we'd go there every weekend. | ||
| And he turned that place into an abject drug-infested hellhole that a guy by the name of Rudy Giuliani cleaned up. | ||
| We all know the story there. | ||
| But I really want to focus, put aside the policies. | ||
| Everyone watching this gets that the policy is ridiculous. | ||
| Can you guys talk to the fake affect that he's using the whisper and that NPR thing? | ||
| Because there's something else. | ||
| We all get the bad policies. | ||
| There's something else going on with the way they've packaged him. | ||
| They took sort of a quasi-jihadist, lefty socialist, whatever you want to call him, and they filtered him and they play lo-fi music in the background, and he whispers like an MPR freak. | ||
| And somehow, what it what are you, you guys are younger than me. | ||
| What do you think that's doing to the internet generation? | ||
| Charlie, you first, since you're gonna have to live through it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| First of all, please, I'm I'm still not convinced that this is going to be the future. | ||
| I think if people are smart enough and Trump gets in and does his thing, like we spoke about earlier, I do believe there's still hope for New York City. | ||
| And I also know that there's enough powerful people enough who are still rallying together to try to create a very positive force that uh drives us into November. | ||
| Um so we'll see. | ||
| Um I don't know. | ||
| I mean, it kind of reminds me of. | ||
| Have you ever seen, and I mean, it could be similar to what we just saw with Stephen Colbert. | ||
| There are certain TV shows that, you know, when you plug in the laughter, you at home, when you hear other people laugh, it makes you want to laugh. | ||
| It makes you smile. | ||
| So then your memories of watching the show are ones of, oh, I was laughing and I was smiling during the show. | ||
| If they weren't to have people force laughing during the show, your reactions and like your inner dialogue and and how you felt would also be changed. | ||
| I also feel like when you watch TV shows back, they plug in music at very specific places. | ||
| If they were to take the music out and we were just to have the characters sitting with themselves and speaking, and there was no music, or even like on social media, take a reel and take the music out of the background and just have the you know action taking place as it as it was. | ||
| It has a totally different feel, a totally different effect on you. | ||
| And I think that's what they're doing. | ||
| Like they're finding ways to make him appeal to your inner senses, to your emotions, and and they're finding ways that aren't actually natural to him, um, but superficial ways in order to get you to relate to a guy like him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So they're doing a pretty good job. | |
| I mean, uh getting a pretty charismatic guy like himself who has like, you know, seemingly progressive ideas, even though we know that they're just like repackaged like horrible ideas, like Bill de Blasio just endorsed this guy. | ||
| So um it's it's there's a lot going on, but the way he's being packaged, the way he's being presented, is smart and his poll numbers are reflecting. | ||
| Well, let's throw actually to Bill de Blasio, who was the pre-I guess you could say he was a Democrat socialist. | ||
| I don't know if he exactly said it, but he was a horrific mayor of New York City who led to a lot of this disaster. | ||
| Uh he's endorsing momdami, and he had a less than impressive appearance on television, watch this. | ||
| Free bus. | ||
| And he runs that the city of New York runs it just like we run so many other services. | ||
| And the bottom line here is to think about the free buses again. | ||
| Free buses has been proven to work in many parts of the country. | ||
| Where it's I'll get your list of cities, but the bottom line is it is something that allows people to one, reduce their costs, which people are overwhelmed by to get into mass transit more. | ||
| It works because we know that if people are given a quality alternative they can afford, they'll use it. | ||
| Uh Bill, could you name one place, one place I'll get back to you with the list. | ||
| My God, Aaron, these people. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Well, first of all, the bus and subway are free for the people who don't pay for it. | ||
| And I feel like an idiot every time I'm swiping my metro card, or now you could tap it finally after all these years. | ||
| But no, I'm actually one of the few people that stands online at CVS in New York City to go buy something after waiting 300 hours for a worker to open every last section of CVS for me to get my shampoo. | ||
| Wait a minute, wait a minute. | ||
| You're paying for your deodorant, you sucker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| It's crazy. | ||
| But, you know, I had I had forgotten what it was like to have Cucklord Bill DeBlasio on the news because as we all know, his wife was going around to Vogue and all the magazines talking about their open marriage that he was so clearly upset over. | ||
| Uh the man who killed Puck's Tay Phil, Justice for Phil, if we could just remember him for a second, that's like the ground talk day or pull Phil up and Bill De Blasio somehow. | ||
| Drunk dropped him. | ||
| And then he died. | ||
| So these are things that are very important New York City lore for people to remember. | ||
| So that is the man endorsing... | ||
| Like I was gonna like doing it. | ||
| He's like, I did a shitty job, but I wasn't able to like I I need you to finish the shitty. | ||
| You know, yeah, Zoran Momdani is like the guy running for class president who's saying free vending machine and no homework, and everyone's like, yeah, and the problem with this is that no one uses their brains anymore, and everyone has goldfish memories. | ||
| And because people life in New York City and Charlie and I could both attest to this, it is expensive, it is hard, it is grinding, there is a lot of friction, and people just look for change. | ||
| And so when you have a soft-spoken, low-tees soy beta loser who's saying, like, I believe in I believe in change. | ||
| Like, don't just follow me, trust me. | ||
| That's that's who they're gonna go with. | ||
| Are you saying Bill de Blasio had no good ideas? | ||
| Because I I thought during COVID this was pretty solid. | ||
| Free fries when you get vaccinated. | ||
| Um, I got vaccinated. | ||
| You're saying I could get this? | ||
| A delicious fries. | ||
| But there's also a burger element to this. | ||
| Let me let me check with Bill Meethart. | ||
| Is it too early in the day to eat a burger? | ||
| This could be breakfast. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I want you to look at this and think about. | ||
| Again, some people love hamburgers, some don't. | ||
| Really want to respect all ways of life. | ||
| But if this is appealing to you, just think of this when you think of vaccination. | ||
| You know, I I've seen I've seen that video a hundred times, but did he turn and say, uh, let me ask Bill Retard about what he said? | ||
| Let me ask Bill Retard about the part. | ||
| Like the ASMR, I forgot about the ASMR part of that unseemly video with the soft French fries and the like things I didn't need on this. | ||

| Let's go across the pond. | ||
| Here is a compilation of anti-immigration protests happening over Australia, New Zealand, UK, France, Spain, Australia, Poland, and Germany. | ||

The Donald Trump has been doing it because they try to touch his kids. | |
| He said, he raised his kids and he said, what, what, what? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| So that kind of gives you some hope that all those racists right there uh might actually take their countries over again, right, Charlie. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, people are certainly realizing what the prices that they're going to have to pay if policies like this remain in place. | ||
| So yeah, I I love seeing stuff like that. | ||
| I just hope that, you know, it doesn't get to the point where now you speak out against immigration and you decide to rally and uh do things like that, then now you are at threat of being arrested. | ||
| I don't know how you arrest all those people. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I mean, it and that's gonna scare a lot of people, but I'm happy people at least have the courage to say, you know what, if it means potentially being arrested, so what? | ||
| At least I I can stand up for what I believe in. | ||
| So yeah, it gives it gives me some hope, I suppose, but I I don't really know what to think anymore, honestly. | ||
| Let's end with this because I think it perfectly sums up so much of what we've been talking about, and actually just what you mentioned right there, Charlie. | ||
| Uh, there is a comedian by the name of Gran Lineham uh from the UK. | ||
| Uh, here's Fox covering him being arrested for exercising what we once called free speech. | ||
| This comes as British comedian Graham Lineah posted yesterday that he's been arrested again when he landed at Heathrow Airport. | ||
| Lineah says he was met by five armed officers. | ||
| He says they told him he was being arrested over three posts on X. Lineham writes, quote, in a country where pedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak. | ||
| The state had mobilized five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet. | ||
| And no, I promise you, I am not making this up. | ||
| Yeah, it definitely is not new. | ||
| I mean, the New York Post reported just a few months ago that they'd had dozens and dozens of arrests per day based on social media postings. | ||
| Meanwhile, obviously they have crime problems that are out of control in the UK. | ||
| They've had massive scandals inside the UK government and covered up by the UK media, including that Rotham grooming gang scandal, which actually spanned a number of cities in the UK. | ||
| And currently, you've had Cooper, who's the home secretary over there, is talking about importing more refugees from the Middle East who are presumably not going to share sort of the UK's historic values. | ||
| So this is what it looks like when a civilization decides to completely hollow itself out. | ||
| Well, I don't know who that fast talking little guy is, uh, but he makes a good point. | ||
| There's been a lot of really bad stuff happening in the UK, like the mass grooming and raping by Pakistani gangs. | ||
| They're not even gangs, like just they're random men that have been Middle Eastern men that were allowed to come to the R. Right. | ||
| So we've had an awful lot of that, and they're going after the comedians. | ||
| So I guess we should all just be happy to live in the United States, at least the three of us, huh? | ||
| Yes, but also we should be happy that you know you have comedians like this who are still willing to stand their ground because did you see the way that he showed up today for court? | ||
| He had the signs hanging around his chest, you know, saying there's no such thing as a transgender child. | ||
| And then on the flip side, the you know, keep men at a women's sports. | ||
| Oh, you have it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, cool. | |
| Yeah, because that was definitely a win. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Aaron, bring us home here. | ||
| Final thought. | ||
| Should we arrest comedians for saying that boys and girls are different? | ||
| Well, it's funny because I like to fancy myself somewhat of a comedian, which is, you know, as a woman, a very bold thing to say, but I like to think I'm funny for a woman. | ||
| The bar for that is expensive. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I think I'm I think I'm a little funny, Aaron. | ||
| Yes, no, Charlie also funny. | ||
| For women, you're hilarious. | ||
| Carly doesn't try to be funny. | ||
| She doesn't try. | ||
| I like actively want to be funny. | ||
| So it's like the active, relentless, unapologetic pursuit. | ||
| But we're women, and so we we could just, you know, no one else is funny, so it's fine. | ||
| And Dave, you are you started really in comedy. | ||
| And so I do think when like that comedy is the place of truth. | ||
| And if comedians can't say what you know to be true, even if it's uncomfortable or offensive or you disagree with it, like comedy is the final beacon of free speech in a society. | ||
| So good for him. | ||
| Like I we'll keep saying all just laugh, but no laugh tracks. | ||
| We didn't need any laugh tracks on the show. | ||
| Somehow we managed to entertain you if you're still watching this without any background noise the entire time. | ||
|

|
Right. | |
| I mean, Oscar Wilde to loosely quote him like if you want to tell people the truth, you better be funny or they're gonna kill you. | ||
| What a two happening. | ||
| What a two happening chicks like you guys do on the weekend, Charlie in New York. | ||
| What are you gonna do besides avoiding horrible stuff? | ||
| Well, I am uh actually playing in a pickleball tournament this weekend. | ||
| I've never, and let me just also say I've never played pickleball in my life, so it could be very interesting. | ||
| It could be a very interesting showing, but I'm I'm paired up with a pro pickleball player. | ||
| So hopefully they pull their weight. | ||
| Uh otherwise, I'm just gonna be kicking it, you know, watching a little U.S. open tennis and enjoying the last, you know, few weeks of beautiful weather we have here in New York, and hopefully staying safe and not, you know, getting mugged. | ||
| All you need to know about pickleball is there's gonna be a long line of ambulances taking the old people who break a hip and twist a knee and crush their face, and it's kind of fun to watch. | ||
| Aaron, you're in the free state of Florida. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| Rodeo, alligator wrestling, you're going to the Everglades to fight with uh what? | ||
| What? | ||
| It's funny you say that though, because for people who don't know this, I'm hiking all the national parks. | ||
| I'm not doing any this weekend, but I've done 47 of the now 63 U.S. National Parks, and I did the Everglades years ago, and I did the ranger-led swamp slog, where you're like up to your chest in this in the swamp with all the different critters that exist that could possibly attack you. | ||
| And I strategically went during the polar vortex of 2017. | ||
| So they were all like kind of tucked away asleep because I'm terrified of all those animals. | ||
| So I did that. | ||
| But no, it's a chill weekend. | ||
| I was away for almost the entire month of August. | ||
| I'm so happy to be back, just seeing friends, spending time with Theo, my my dog, and that's it. | ||
| Ladies, I've enjoyed this. | ||
| We will do it again. | ||
| Everyone else have a great weekend. | ||
| Thanks for watching. |
