	And reopen the government this week.
	Republicans are waiting.
	The American people are waiting, and we are ready to act.
	Yeah.
	They've got their shutdown.
	They've had their protests.
	They have AOC and Bernie doing town halls pretending she's not going to challenge Schumer for the Senate.
	And they have no leader.
	There's an in that 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 uh Fox News.
	They asked a bunch of people who's leading the Democrat Party right now.
	The Faulkner focus hit the streets as we often do to talk with people and ask them who they believe the leader of the Democrat Party is.
	Let's watch.
	I am a Democrat.
	Nobody.
	Oh, that's a good question.
	Ooh, I don't know.
	That's a hard one.
	Um that too sure.
	Oh man.
	Uh I don't know.
	I don't think they have a leader.
	I don't think we really have one.
	I feel like we don't have enough leading.
	They need to find one.
	You think that the Democrats would have just someone out there who actually could lead them?
	Where are the plans?
	All you ever hear is how bad he is.
	Talk about how you can put food on the table.
	Pay the bills.
	Well, that lady basically hit it right there, right?
	You guys have focused so much on Trump, you don't know what to talk about anymore.
	Now they talk about all the socialist stuff.
	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.
	So then the others, you might say, okay, Hakeem Jeffries isn't a complete maniac.
	He's horrible team of Obama, and Schumer isn't a compl 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 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 what, you know, that could go to a convention, not even running for anything, and set the table with them.
	But they can't.
	They they have let the inmates run the asylum.
	And as Jerry said to George, good luck with all of that.
	Uh Bernie went on the view, and Sarah Hines pointed out that uh, you know, he and his colleagues are getting paid while some of these government employees aren't.
	It would be powerful, though, as if Congress didn't take 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 gonna take our paychecks until we figure this out, that would be a noble step in the right direction.
	I think.
	I think that's not everybody can afford to do it.
	You got some young people there with kids there.
	Neither can the people that aren't getting paid, though.
	Oh, and there's a holdout.
	I think that's a fair point.
	Well, not everybody can afford it.
	And yeah, it's a fair point.
	It's a fair point.
	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's not, 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, you know, 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're not vital, you don't have kids, he doesn't really care.
	And I guess he, you know, he gives it lip service.
	You know, that's a good point.
	It's a good point, it's a good point.
	He also, God, all of the worst people are going on media tours right now.
	Thank God I'm in Australia.
	Uh, he also went on Jon Stewart's uh daily program over there.
	And here's John.
	There, They both deserve each other.
	Uh, but here's John explaining that much of what Bernie wanted over the years has actually been accomplished by a certain orange man.
	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.
	Yeah.
	Doing uh uh a Trump RX where the government is involved in in selling pharmaceuticals, that's a Bernie Sanders idea.
	It's not only his his some of his policies, some of his other policies, let's not forget is throwing 15 million people off the health care they are have and doubling health care premiums.
	He's not perfect.
	And giving a trillion say he was perfect.
	And giving a trillion dollars of tax breaks little one for the Is it frustrating that this this the thing that you fought for your whole career, Democrats are the ones who run uh uh away from scared.
	And he's embraced some of it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's true.
	All right, so what do we got to do?
	That's true.
	Come on, Pasrami sandwich, please.
	Um, uh John, I think you're a little confused.
	Yes, the Trump RX thing, so okay, that's a type of Bernie thing because the government's gonna 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 some somehow calling him, yeah, he's he's a yes, Trump is a socialist.
	He's a little bit of a socialist, too.
	I think what tr what John 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.
	Uh, here is the director for the economic council, his name is Kevin Hassett, uh, 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.
	Uh 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, uh a very you know sound-minded Democrat uh came out and supported opening the government on Friday, so it means that there's sort of cracks in the Schumer armor.
	I think the Schumer shutdown is likely to end sometime this week.
	But I could 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, that I think that the White House is gonna have to look very closely along with Russ Vogue at stronger measures that we could take to bring up to the table.
	Right.
	So look, as I've said here a couple of times, I don't really mind that the government was shut down.
	And if you told me a huge amount of those people are not coming back to work, that would be fine.
	And if you told me half the Congress people weren't being paid anymore, that would be fine too.
	But right now, think about it this way.
	Do you know any Republicans right now who are seriously pissed at Trump and the Republicans for the shutdown?
	I don't know any.
	Do you know Democrats that are pissed at the Democrats for it?
	Well, clearly there are plenty.
	They are fighting about it right now.
	They have no leader.
	So over time it is hurting them more and more.
	So we'll see if this thing wraps up in the next week or so.
	Uh but interestingly, on CNN, here they are talking about how the shutdown itself has actually helped Trump's approval.
	About Donald Trump shutdowns, net approval rating.
	We're talking 20 days into it in 2018 slash 2019, Donald Trump's net approval rating was already falling.
	The shutdown was eating and it was popular support.
	It was down three points already at this particular point and would fall considerably more.
	It was very much on the decline.
	You come over to this side of the screen, this shutdown hasn't eaten in the Donald Trump support at all.
	His net approval rating is actually up a point in in terms of it in terms of his popular support.
	So the bottom line is this the first shutdown during Trump's first term, 2018 2019, was hurting Donald Trump.
	This one is not hurting him at all.
	There's no real reason Donald Trump might say, at least when it comes to popular support, I want to get out of the shutdown.
	I really can't stand these data dorks.
	Can you imagine having dinner with these people?
	It'll be pretty unbearable.
	But there is the point.
	The 20 days of this thing has only hurt the Democrats, and it has only helped Donald Trump.
	So good luck, guys.
	Good luck.
	Let's talk about noble gold, and then we'll get to the communist jihadist who's about to take over New York City.
	Gold is officially gone mainstream.
	You're seeing it everywhere, and prices just keep climbing.

	All right, so Zorhan Mamdami, short of something crazy happening, uh, 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.
	Uh, but it's getting 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.
	Mamdani 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 uh he's Mam Dami's imam.
	And uh listen to some of his spiritual guidance.
	You're telling me the part is because it's the American party because it's gonna be a weapon to you.
	It is an honor to die as you have.
	Yes, your honor.
	I want to defend this country.
	You know what this country is?
	It's a garbage can.
	It's filthy.
	Filt and sick.
	Every day they will go to school, and they'll put American flag in front of these little babies, martial babies.
	I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America to the Republic for which his fans, bullsh.
	That is his imam.
	That is where he goes for spiritual guidance.
	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 a, 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, Mamdami has no problem taking pictures with the guy.
	Uh, interestingly, this is a short video uh from a couple years ago, but listen to what Mam Dami says there, to the backdrop of some of the things that his imam just said.
	We came here to remake the state in the image of our people.
	You came here, and you did come here from another country.
	You came here to remake the state in the image of your people.
	Well, which people are you talking about?
	And it's obviously the Muslims.
	Obviously, and is that what America wants?
	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.
	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 to perform gay marriage.
	They can do whatever the high hell they want to do.
	Um, 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 takiyyah.
	This is basically the the Muslim concept that they can lie to you as long as as long as it is in the name of furthering political Islam.
	Here he is uh with a dancing tranny who I suppose does not go to his mosque.
	Come on, you know what?
	I'm not gonna criticize him anymore.
	I'm gonna talk to you, Tranny, singing New York, New York uh 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 this 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's at 31%, and Curtis Sleewa is at 25%.
	Among foreign-born New Yorkers, Momdani is at 62%, Andrew Cuomo's 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 Mam Dami per se, and more it 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 uh 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're 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.
	Uh, Donald Trump was asked what he thinks is going to happen, or what he would like to happen in New York City.
	If he dropped out, he's not gonna win.
	And not looking too good for Cuomo either.
	But maybe, I don't know, if he dropped out, maybe Cuomo would have a little bit of a chance, but not much.
	Because it looks like uh the lead is not a great lead, but it's it's big enough that he should be able to win so you know.
	I don't know that I want to get involved.
	It's really a question of would I rather have a Democrat or a communist?
	And I would rather have a Democrat than a communist.
	That's Trump at his best.
	He's just telling you the truth.
	And what is the truth?
	He'd rather have a Democrat mayor of New York City than a communist.
	That's true.
	He doesn't like Cuomo.
	They've been fighting for years, right?
	And Cuomo's not a complete progressive lunatic, but they've been fighting for years.
	The guy he was saying should drop out or might drop out is Curtis Sleewa.
	He's the Republican, and there's huge pressure on him to drop out.
	I've said a couple times on the show, he he's a decent guy.
	He's been in New York City forever trying to clean up the streets and all of those things.
	You know, he's polling maybe around 10, 12%.
	If you tacked on, if he was to drop out and just say, look, I don't like Cuomo at all because they really don't like each other.
	But like we've got to stop the commie.
	Is there a chance that they would then beat Mam Dami?
	There probably is.
	Now, is there a chance that half of his people will be like, well, we don't like Cuomo anyway, and the reason we're voting you for you, Sleewa, is because Cuomo killed my grandma and all that stuff.
	Like that is possible too.
	But the fact that the vote is being split as the communist is walking right through the middle is just so freaking dangerous.
	But I didn't want to end the show with the fear and making everybody go crazy that the communists coming.
	He's coming, but it's a beautiful day here on the Gold Coast, and it's only 2 p.m.
	And I want to get out there and enjoy the beach and the sun and all those things.
	So what could we do?
	Could we maybe play a video of Donald Trump wearing a crown in a plane pooping on people?
	would be pretty good and of course that was on the official donald trump truth social account and
	Thus, MSNBC brought in actor Jeff Daniels, who is best known for having explosive diarrhea in the movie Dumb and Dumber.
	And he serenaded Nicole Wallace in the name of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
	This is a song Claro called Crazy World, which is how I cope.
	Okay, let's hear it.
	I've seen a young girl smiling.
	It's something he just said.
	I watched him fall into her pretty green eyes.
	Okay, Jeff.
	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, 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.
	That's a tagline of the Ruben Report.
	Did you guys know that?
	Crazy World, Sane Views.
