Dave Rubin dissects the U.S. government shutdown, blaming Democratic infighting over undocumented healthcare and labeling progressives like AOC as "communist jihad" elements while contrasting Bernie Sanders' paychecks with furloughed workers. He refutes Jon Stewart's claim that Trump inherits the "Sanders Revolution," citing opposing stances on regulation and taxes, and predicts Zohran Mamdani will win NYC mayor despite his ties to Siraj Wahaj. Ultimately, Rubin argues the Democratic establishment lacks cohesion, having wasted time hating the country rather than governing effectively. [Automatically generated summary]
They have AOC and Bernie doing town halls pretending she's not going to challenge Schumer for the Senate.
And they have no leader.
What this really is about is the internal fight of the Democrats.
Are they going full on bananas communist jihad looney?
Hint, yes.
Or will there be any sliver of sane people left?
And the answer is no, but because that hasn't fully burst forth yet, maybe that'll happen right after the New York City election, which we'll get to in a second.
They are just in this weird place where they're basically keeping the government shut down because they want health care for illegals.
I thought this was quite good.
This is Fox News.
They asked a bunch of people who's leading the Democrat Party right now.
You guys have focused so much on Trump, you don't know what to talk about anymore.
Now they talk about all the socialists.
So what really is happening here, think about it.
They know the wing with energy.
So the AOC, like the just commie jihad wing of this thing, and Bernie has ushered it in.
And that socialist, progressive, collectivist, big government solves everything wing has completely overtaken the others.
Then the others, you might say, okay, Hakeem Jeffries isn't a complete maniac.
He's horrible, Timu Obama, and Schumer isn't a like Schumer doesn't hate America.
He's wrong on all the things.
And then, you know, Fetterman, who's actually better on some of these things.
But those guys don't have enough juice.
So there's nobody.
There's no adult.
And this is, you know, a couple of weeks ago, I said, who should it be?
Well, it could have been Bill Clinton.
Not that he would be leading them politically right now, like he was getting back into politics.
But why don't they have, when they're not in power, just an elder statesman, someone from the old days who could come in and say, hey, guys, here's what the agenda is.
Here, you know, that could go to a convention, not even running for anything, and set the table with them.
But they can't.
They have let the inmates run the asylum.
And as Jerry said to George, good luck with all of that.
Bernie went on the view.
And Sarah Hines pointed out that, you know, he and his colleagues are getting paid while some of these government employees aren't.

It would be powerful, though, is if Congress didn't want to make their money while they were waiting.
Because right now, it's hard to imagine it's incentivized.
It's easier for the politicians in D.C. to go away from each other and say, we will win this way while people are losing their paychecks.
If Congress just said, we're not going to take our paychecks till we figure this out, that would be a noble step in the right direction.
But how about all of the people that you guys have put on furlough right now?
Can they afford it?
So, Bernie, you're always a man of the people.
But when it's your colleagues, and I know it wouldn't hurt you, right, Bernie, if your paycheck got delayed for a few weeks, you are a millionaire with three houses.
You could sell the house in Vermont or the summer home that you have to have.
We played that video the other day.
You know, he's a guy that needs a summer home.
He could sell that home and he'd be okay.
But for his colleagues, some of them are young with kids.
And by the way, I would have some sympathy for that.
But the people who vote to shut the government down, they're vital.
They're essential.
You schmucks working at the postal office or wherever else we've shut down right now, the parks, et cetera, et cetera.
You know, if you think about, because your message has always been consistent, and you've spoken this way since you first came on the scene for a very long time, and you've always been clear about it.
You could almost make a case that the true inheritor of the Sanders Revolution is Trump.
He's the most socialist president of my lifetime.
Taking a percentage of companies to do business, that's a Bernie Sanders idea.
Doing a Trump RX where the government is involved in selling pharmaceuticals, that's a Bernie Sanders idea.
It's not only some of his policies, some of his other policies, let's not forget, is throwing 15 million people off the health care they have and doubling health care premiums.
So, okay, that's a type of Bernie thing because the government's going to be a little more involved in healthcare in that sense.
But they're wildly at odds when it comes to Obamacare and certainly illegals getting health care.
Also, Trump has done incredible things as it comes to deregulation.
Bernie is all about regulation.
He's a socialist.
Donald Trump has done a ton on cutting taxes.
Bernie always wants to raise taxes, as he pointed out right there.
Donald Trump has done a ton by exerting American influence in the world, which is completely antithetical to everything that Bernie Sanders wants.
But yes, has he done a little bit?
I mean, and also John somehow calling him.
Yeah, he's he's, yes, Trump is a socialist.
He's a little bit of a socialist too.
I think what Jon Stewart's doing there is going, I better figure out a way to give credit to Trump for something, because otherwise I look like a complete idiot.
Here is the director for the Economic Council.
His name is Kevin Hassett, talking about how the Dems likely, because between the no-kings thing and just the lack of leadership in the party, that they soon will probably end this shutdown.
Well, first of all, the president has been very active throughout this process, but it's also his position that this is a thing that the Senate needs to work out.
A lot of our friends in the Senate have said that it was just bad optics for Democrats to open the government before the No Kings rally, and that now there's a shot that this week things will come together and very quickly the moderate Democrats will move forward and get us an open government, at which point we could negotiate whatever policies they want to negotiate with regular order.
Now, I was very pleased to see that my friend Senator Shaheen from New Hampshire, a very sound-minded Democrat, came out and supported opening the government on Friday.
So it means that there are sort of cracks in the Schumer armor.
I think the Schumer shutdown is likely to end sometime this week.
But I can tell you that if it doesn't, if it doesn't, if the story that we've been basically hearing from moderates that, look, we just can't do it in front of the No Kings rally, if that ends up not being true, then I think that the White House is going to have to look very closely along with Russ Vogt at stronger measures that we could take to bring him to the table.
The 20 days of this thing has only hurt the Democrats and it has only helped Donald Trump.
So good luck, guys.
Good luck.

All right, so Zorhan Momdami, short of something crazy happening, is going to be the mayor of New York City.
This is a cataclysmic disaster that you just cannot believe.
And even to the fact that I'm here in Australia, where I've talked about it on both shows, everybody knows about this guy.
Everybody is freaking out or basically can't believe that New York City, the once epicenter of capitalism in the entire world, is about to go down this road.
But it's getting worse for him, although I don't think it is going to stop him because things from his past are coming out.
Now, look at this tweet from the New York Post here.
Momdani appears smiling arm in arm with 93, 1993 World Trade Center bombing co-conspirator and terror apologist.
Well, that Imam, his name is Siraj Wahaj, and he's Mom Dami's Imam.
And listen to some of his spiritual guidance.

You don't get embarrassed because it's the American people.
You get embarrassed because scientists can be a weapon to use in the course of Islam.
Is that what your priest or preacher or rabbi sounds like?
What is going on here?
And we are letting it happen right in front of our faces.
Again, we have a communist coming in with the, I would say, I keep saying dash of jihad.
It's probably about 50-50, 50-50 communism jihad.
That guy right there should not be in the United States of America.
He should be denaturalized and deported.
But instead, Mom Dami has no problem taking pictures with the guy.
Interestingly, this is a short video from a couple of years ago, but listen to what Mom Dami says there to the backdrop of some of the things that his Imam just said.
unidentified
We came here to remake the state in the image of our people.
And it's 24 years since radical Muslim extremists flew two planes into the World Trade Center and killed thousands of people.
And New York's about to elect this guy.
It is absolutely crazy.
But the crazier part of it is that somehow the media, well, the media sucks, so I guess it's not that crazy, but somehow the media has not been able to hit him on his ridiculous intersectional view of the world.
All they would have to do, all someone had to do at the debate the other night, or all Cuomo had to do, is just turn to him and say, can you explain to me how you love the gays, you love the queers for Palestine, and yet you go to a mosque that doesn't perform gay marriage?
Which is it?
Pick one.
Now, I'm not for forcing a mosque to perform gay marriage.
They can do whatever the high hell they want to do.
But he is the one out there promoting both of these ideas that are completely at odds with each other.
Many people are saying what he's doing is practicing Takiyah.
This is basically the Muslim concept that they can lie to you as long as it is in the name of furthering political Islam.
Here he is with a dancing tranny who I suppose does not go to his mosque.
I'm not going to criticize him anymore.
I'm going to talk to you, Tranny, singing New York, New York by the great Frank Sinatra right in front of Zorhan.
How about you wander into his mosque and say you just want to sing New York, New York?
You're just a great New Yorker.
You've been thinking about converting to Islam and you do have a wang and boobs, but you'd like to just sing for them.
Maybe you could sing after the prayers, after the Muslim cult for prayer, little something.
You see the point, guys.
You see the utter point here.
It is completely ridiculous.
Listen to this from Open Source Zone.
So they had some interesting polling as it pertains to this election.
And among American-born New Yorkers, one more time, let me repeat that.
Among American-born New Yorkers, Andrew Cuomo is at 40%.
Mom Dami is at 31%.
And Curtis Sliwa is at 25%.
Among foreign-born New Yorkers, Momdani is at 62%.
Andrew Cuomo is at 24%, and Sliwa is at 12%.
Okay, let's assume, and I think these are all people who are legal citizens here.
What does this say actually?
I think this says less about Mom Dami per se, and more of it is a condemnation on the American system.
It's a condemnation on the American system that let all of these people in, did not vet them properly.
It's a condemnation on our education system that did not educate them properly.
It's a condemnation on our culture and our media.
And we are going to have a situation where the foreign-born New Yorkers, and again, I believe they are talking about legal New Yorkers because they are the ones that will vote, although I'm sure some illegals will figure out a way to vote there too.
They will likely swing the election.
And the native-born New Yorkers who've been here, who've been through the ups and downs of New York City and everything else, they will be the ones to pay the price.
Donald Trump was asked what he thinks is going to happen or what he would like to happen in New York City.
Well, whether it's Jeff or Bob De Niro or Corinne Jean-Pierre or Bernie Sanders or Jon Stewart, you can see this collection of people.
They don't have a cohesive set of views.
They are fighting.
They have spent way too much time hating the country and everything else.
And they're left with being in unicorn costumes and protesting people that are not kings who don't stop them from protesting and playing the guitar on MSNBC.
And might I offer you this, Jeff Daniels?
If the song is titled Crazy World, just add some sane views.
