| New York City, you're f ⁇ ing. | ||
|

|
My offer is this. | |
| Nothing. | ||
| Democrats are caving to Donald Trump. | ||
| I want to get stoned and watch, well, play PlayStation mostly or watch Billy Madison. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I'm angry all the time. | |
| I got a good night's sleep last night. | ||
| All right, people, let's try this again. | ||
| We had some technical difficulties on our stream that lasted for about three minutes there. | ||
| You know, it is freezing. | ||
| If you're a Floridian, you're freezing right now. | ||
| I walked out. | ||
| I was in sweatpants and a hoodie. | ||
| Had the hood over my head when walking the dog this morning. | ||
| It's in the 40s. | ||
| If you're a Floridian, that's freezing. | ||
| There are iguanas falling out of the trees. | ||
| They are not dead. | ||
| They freeze because they're cold-blooded. | ||
| They go unconscious. | ||
| They fall into the street. | ||
| If you are a nice person, you can move them to the side. | ||
| Eventually, when it warms up, they will wake up. | ||
| But apparently, the pipes that send us across the internet, they're freezing too. | ||
| That's what we're dealing with over here. | ||
| but I sound okay now. | ||
| We're good. | ||
| We're back. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Apparently, I sounded a little robotic or digitized or something. | ||
| So let me just quickly repeat what I said at the top of the show moments ago. | ||
| This is what Groundhog Day must feel like. | ||
| Today is Veterans Day, and I actually did not even realize it until about an hour before the show today because I wake up and I do the stupid scrolling on the Twitter machine and all that stuff. | ||
| And, you know, in the old days on the Veterans Day, Memorial Day, MLK, Thanksgiving, Christmas, whatever, you'd see like a lot of people acknowledging the day, right? | ||
| And now it's all devolved into just fighting and back and forth nonsense and doom scrolling and everything else. | ||
| I really did not even realize it was Veterans Day, which is one of the most important holidays that we have, because if it was not for the veterans, if it was not for those who serve, none of us would be, we wouldn't be here. | ||
| We wouldn't have the freedom to fight about nonsense all day long. | ||
| And I say that with all due irony. | ||
| So I thought one nice way to honor the veterans was with this very short quote from Ronald Reagan that I think gets it perfectly and succinctly. | ||
| Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have ever made a difference in the world. | ||
| A veteran does not have that problem. | ||
| So any of you who are veterans out there watching today, I thank you for your service. | ||
| We are going to dive into all of the day's news, mostly about the shutdown, which is now over. | ||
| Thank God. | ||
| Oh, he raised the roof again. | ||
| The government is back. | ||
| Zippity Dippity. | ||
| Yes, we just needed a couple Democrats to jump over the aisle and open up the government. | ||
| And it finally happened. | ||
| Listen to this from Breaking Report. | ||
| The U.S. Senate has officially passed the CR to end the shutdown, sending the bill back to the House. | ||
| And why don't we name the Democrats who jumped across, who were so brave to jump across the aisle and open the government do their job. | ||
| It was Catherine Cortez-Masto from Nevada, Dick Durbin from Illinois, John Fetterman from Pennsylvania, Maggie Hassan from New Hampshire, Tim Kaine from Virginia, Jackie Rosen from Nevada, and Jianne Shaheen from New Hampshire. | ||
| Here is Scott Jennings over on CNN trying to explain to this rather young Democrat pundit whose name need not even be mentioned because you'll never hear from him again that this was all the fault of the Democrats. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Scott, with all respect, you cannot put on the American people that Democrats were the one that were hurting people, making this plight. | |
| Who was casting the votes against opening the government, Democrats or Republicans? | ||
| Who was casting the votes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Scott, who was wanting to cut SNAP benefits? | |
| Nobody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Republicans wanted to fund Snapshots. | |
| Republicans voted to fund SNAP 15 times. | ||
| Democrats voted to defund it 15 times. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we talked about the affordable health hair care. | |
| Oh, guys, I barely listened to that clip because I was told when we threw to it, that kid there is Michael Douglas's son. | ||
| So I guess he's a serious XM host, Michael Douglas, who might be my favorite actor. | ||
| Do you guys know that? | ||
| Michael Douglas, I think he might be my actual favorite actor of all time. | ||
| Used to work out at the same gym, Equinox, on the Upper West Side with him years ago. | ||
| We had a couple nice interactions. | ||
| So that lefty ding-dong is his son. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Oh, that's so disappointing. | ||
| It all just sucks. | ||
| Doesn't it just suck and blow? | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Well, anyway, the kid is a little confused as to what happened here because all, as Jennings points out, all they had to do, if the Democrats were so concerned about SNAP and they were so concerned about all of the government stuff, because there's nothing that they love more than the government, all they needed was a couple to jump across the aisle, which is what they did. | ||
| And now, of course, we'll have more on this in just a second. | ||
| The lunatics, meaning the AOC, moron Zamboni branch of the Democrat Party, now they're going to try to take out anyone who decided to open up the government. | ||
| Here is Jennings explaining to Abby Phillips, dim-witted Abby Phillips, that the government is going to open after the election. | ||
| Of course, he did this on election night. | ||
| Ding, ding, ding. | ||
| How are Republicans going to use leverage in their fight with Democrats when the Democrats are actually the ones with the upper hand in the eyes of voters? | ||
| Well, I'm sure Democrats will be more than happy to open the government now. | ||
| The election's over. | ||
| I mean, part of the reason they shut it down was to get through tonight. | ||
| I mean, I'd say that's the thing. | ||
| I would suspect they'll be opening up by the end of the week. | ||
| Adam Schiff, he was like, hold the line. | ||
|
unidentified
|
AOC. | |
| There's lots of rumors. | ||
| Look, I don't see what is the incentive for Democrats to back down when voters are basically saying Trump's not doing enough. | ||
| It's the Republicans' fault. | ||
| And then they basically handed the keys in this past election to the Democrats. | ||
| Where's the leverage? | ||
| Again, these are blue states electing Democrats. | ||
| Not a shock. | ||
| Democrats clearly wanted this shutdown to get through Election Day. | ||
| I do think they are facing pressure from their internal coalitions. | ||
| The unions, the air traffic controllers, the government employee unions are desperate to get the government back open. | ||
| They're feeling a little bit of internal heat. | ||
| But again, the election's now over. | ||
| I'm sure tomorrow morning phones will start ringing and it'll be open soon enough. | ||
| This was a political shutdown, and that's what they did. | ||
| And now we're through the election. | ||
| Yeah, so that was on election night, obviously. | ||
| And Jennings predicted it perfectly. | ||
| Like that is dart right in the center, absolute perfection. | ||
| They did this through the election, ginned up the base. | ||
| But again, you can't look too much into the results of the election because it was just blue cities and states that went bluer. | ||
| That doesn't diminish the disaster that is incoming in New York City. | ||
| But it is not some giant bellwether for the country. | ||
| As always, Abby Phillips, it's like she barely knows what's coming out of her mouth as she says it. | ||
| And I don't know that more people were attacking Trump over this. | ||
| And the Democrats did completely cave post-election. | ||
| Here is Scott Jennings, though, explaining, and now this is from yesterday. | ||
| Here is Jennings explaining how the shutdown actually has exposed the failure of the health insurance companies because there is something legitimate to talk about around that. | ||
| This whole thing has exposed this outlandish money laundering scheme where your tax dollars go right into insurance companies and your health insurance never gets better. | ||
| Your health care never gets better. | ||
| Your health outcomes never get better. | ||
| That's what we have exposed here. | ||
| So what our responsibility is as a Republican Party, how do we stop getting your tax money to insurance companies? | ||
| And how do we put more actual money into the health care of the American people? | ||
| Because I can assure you, writing a bunch of checks to insurance companies doesn't make your health care any better. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So he's hitting a couple of things there. | ||
| I mean, first, he's broadly hitting like, we should really be thinking in a new way about health care, right? | ||
| This is what the Maha movement, the Make America Healthy Again movement that became so integral in allowing MAGA to return just a year ago is all about, right? | ||
| Like we keep thinking, oh, we should just do whatever we want with our bodies. | ||
| We should eat all of this crap and the seed oils and the poisons and all of the sugar and all of the stuff and the high fructose corns. | ||
| We should do all that. | ||
| And then we should just medicate the high hell out of ourselves. | ||
| And the drug companies and the health insurance companies might subsidize some of that, but we'll all become fat and incapacitated. | ||
| And by the way, we're all going to have to pay for everybody who does that, which really makes no sense. | ||
| If you think about universal health care in some sense, it's like, why should all of the people who actually do take care of themselves, who do eat right, who do work out, who do the right things, if you're doing all of those things for yourself, why should the government be taking money away from you to then subsidize the health care for people that don't do any of those things? | ||
| I mean, that's one of the problems when you start doing everything universally. | ||
| You actually punish people who do things right, whether it's play by the rules as it pertains to economics and law, or whether it's literally taking care of their own lives. | ||
| But he does make a broad point, which is that the Republicans should be now thinking about, okay, how do we rethink this thing so we stop taking dollars and just giving it to health care companies that don't make our, that the results of our health care does not turn out to be better or anything else. | ||
| But the bumper sticker on all of this is that we didn't have the government for 40 days. | ||
| We're all okay. | ||
| Everyone's okay here. | ||
| We didn't have it for 40 days and it was all pointless. | ||
| The Democrats who were screaming, this is going to kill people, people are going to starve and blah, blah, blah. | ||
| All they ended up doing by having these six, seven Democrats jump across the aisle was signing a clean CR, which is exactly what always happens. | ||
| So this was completely on the Democrats. | ||
| I hate to say it, but Michael Douglas' son was wrong. | ||
| And nothing, they got nothing out of it other than the few Democrats that jumped across the aisle to do the right thing will now pay the price with the lunatic radical base. | ||
| But here is Senate Majority Leader Mike Johnson explaining to Jake Tapper that this was just nothing. | ||
| This was just a pure political show. | ||
| So every Republican in the House, every single one, which doesn't happen very often, voted for the clean government funding bill on September 19th. | ||
| Will they all vote for this compromise, do you think? | ||
| I believe they will. | ||
| The long national nightmare is almost coming to an end now, the beginning of the end, as I said this morning in my press conference. | ||
| It was long overdue. | ||
| And the irony is, Jake, it really was a shutdown about nothing. | ||
| I mean, what we're voting on is effectively exactly what we offered them several weeks back. | ||
| We've added some appropriations bills now, which we're in favor of because it's getting us back to the regular order. | ||
| We'll take care of some other details, but I don't think Chuck Schumer got anything out of this other than a political show. | ||
| And sadly, I think that's what he was after the whole time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So remember, it's basically, as Johnson lays out there, it's the same bill pretty much. | ||
| The Democrats got no extractions. | ||
| They got nothing out of this, but they were the ones that were screaming people were going to die and people were going to starve and everything else. | ||
| And then six or seven of them had enough and they caved. | ||
| Now, interestingly, I thought this was really great. | ||
| On October 23rd, which was 19 days ago, Senator John Kennedy predicted exactly how the shutdown was going to end. | ||
| And watch this. | ||
| But if Chuck told some of the Democrats to go join the Taliban, they would say, where's the line, Mr. Lee? | ||
| But that's why we're in a shutdown. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And here's how it's going to end, I predict. | ||
| Chuck will go to six or eight of his members and say, look, we got to get this thing back open. | ||
| So I want you to vote to open it up, but don't tell anybody I told you. | ||
| I'm going to keep voting no so I can try to save face. | ||
| But you vote to open it back up. | ||
| Now, nobody will be fooled. | ||
| And the risk that Senator Schumer runs by doing that, there's a fine line between looking like you're in charge and mutiny. | ||
| He doesn't want it to look like a mutiny because then he looks weaker. | ||
| But that's how this thing will get open because the Democrats know they're not on solid. | ||
| So isn't that something? | ||
| 19 days ago, John Kennedy got it perfectly right. | ||
| It was eight senators. | ||
| We read their names there. | ||
| Chuck Schumer was not in that list, right? | ||
| So Chuck Schumer did exactly what Kennedy laid out. | ||
| He did not vote for reopening the government, in essence, to save face, to make it look like to the progressives, see Bernie AOC, don't murder me, don't behead me just yet, right? | ||
| Because I'm still with you guys. | ||
| I don't have control of these other guys. | ||
| And whether he coordinated for them to do it or they were just like, we've all had enough of this charade. | ||
| We're not going to placate to the lunatic progressives like you or whatever, whatever the answer to that is. | ||
| It wasn't that hard to see what was going to happen here, right? | ||
| And they got nothing out of it. | ||
| And the irony is, while John Kennedy's right that Schumer, in essence, was trying to save face, Schumer gets nothing out of this. | ||
| They hate him even more now because for them, it's like, all right, Schumer, whether you voted for it or not is irrelevant. | ||
| You couldn't control these eight radicals who voted to open up the government and give the snap benefits back to the people. | ||
| We're for the people. | ||
| We keep telling you everyone's going to starve, but we're against opening the government so that they don't starve. | ||
| It's just mind-numbingly retarded. | ||
| Here's John Kennedy again. | ||
| This is yesterday. | ||
| Look, Senator Schumer chose to have this shut down. | ||
| And it's clear. | ||
| It was clear at the time. | ||
| It's clear now. | ||
| He just dug up more snakes than he could kill. | ||
| His demands were unreasonable. | ||
| They were so unreasonable that they weren't even within the realm of possibility on my side of the aisle. | ||
| And we were prepared to just sit there as much as it hurt. | ||
| I mean, we didn't have a choice. | ||
| We couldn't possibly do what Senator Schumer wanted us to do. | ||
| So the point of all of that is to show you that this was all predicted. | ||
| The Democrats got nothing out of it. | ||
| And much like the Scott Jennings thing, where he basically is like, yeah, they'll get through the election and then they'll open it up. | ||
| There are some people that honestly do assess these things. | ||
| And that's how you can see the results of it. | ||
| So congratulations, Democrats. | ||
| But really, congratulations, Chuck Schumer. | ||
| You're in a lot of trouble. | ||
| But we'll get to that in just a second. | ||

| A guy who doesn't have a very strong future, his name is Chuck Schumer. | ||
| Here he is after losing control of the party, having seven, no, eight, we said, eight of the non-complete lunatic Democrats jump to the other side, abandon him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here he is promising to continue the fight. | |
| But let me be clear. | ||
| However this vote turns out, this fight will and must continue. | ||
| Democrats must fight because of millions of millions of families will lose health care coverage. | ||
| We must fight because children who are dying of cancer will not get health care coverage. | ||
| We must fight because a senior citizen cannot afford to pay $25,000 a year just for health insurance. | ||
| We must fight to keep millions from financial ruin. | ||
| And make no mistake about it, the American people know who is inflicting this health care trauma on them, Donald Trump and the Republicans. | ||
| In a weird way, I have sympathy with Chuck Schumer. | ||
| Not that I have any sort of like respect for him as a legislator and he's kind of been wrong on everything. | ||
| I don't think he is, as I've said many times, I don't think he is like a true America-hating loon like the progressive base. | ||
| He isn't. | ||
| And that's partly why they hate him. | ||
| But he was trying to lead a party without really leading the party, right? | ||
| Like he needed to do some housekeeping within his own party. | ||
| He didn't do it. | ||
| You let the inmates in. | ||
| Now they're running the asylum. | ||
| If John Kennedy is right and he basically said to those eight guys, you guys go ahead and do it. | ||
| I'll say no to save face. | ||
| Like that didn't work either because they're coming for you no matter what. | ||
| So he really just got outmaneuvered here. | ||
| But it's not just him. | ||
| It's also Hakeem Jeffries, Timu Obama, who again, I also don't think like that he fundamentally, there are some of them that actually, I think, hate the idea of America. | ||
| Most of the progressives, they fundamentally hate capitalism. | ||
| They are not proud of our founding. | ||
| They are not proud of our documents and our freedom and things like that. | ||
| I don't think that's Schumer. | ||
| I really don't even think that's Hakeem, right? | ||
| I just have strong political disagreements with him. | ||
| But their day is done in the Democrat Party. | ||
| Listen to this word salad here as Hakeem tries to explain whether the shutdown was worth it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is it? | |
| The shutdown for what is that? | ||
| We have waged a battle on behalf of the American people. | ||
| First of all, Donald Trump and Republicans are the ones who shut the government down. | ||
| They have the House, the Senate, and the presidency. | ||
| And the American people know it. | ||
| And that's been the case for seven consecutive weeks. | ||
| But at the end of the day, you didn't even get what you want. | ||
| So was it worth waging this fight? | ||
|
unidentified
|
At the end of the day, the fight lives on. | |
| All right. | ||
| Well, the fight lives on, but I think it's not exactly the fight that you think. | ||
| You think you're going to be fighting Trump now, but I hate to tell you, dude, you're going to be fighting the radicals of your own party. | ||
| Who is one of those radicals? | ||
| Well, she is one, what is it, one 64th, one 248th Native American. | ||
| That is Pocahontas, Liz Warren. | ||
| Here she is on November 7th, explaining that Trump wants Americans to eat dirt. | ||
| Then we'll flash forward to yesterday where Dick Durbin, one of those crazy eight Democrats who decided to feed the hungry people, explain, well, just watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, the message to 42 million Americans from Donald Trump, eat dirt. | |
| Many of my friends are unhappy. | ||
| They think we should have kept our government closed indefinitely to protest the policies of the Trump administration. | ||
| I share their opinions of this administration, but cannot accept a strategy which wages political battle at the expense of my neighbor's paycheck or the food for his children. | ||
| Listen, I don't have particular feelings towards Dick Durbin one way or another. | ||
| Again, he's probably just like a neither here nor there Democrat who's mostly wrong on stuff. | ||
| But again, like, I don't think he hates America. | ||
| But he's right about that. | ||
| I don't know why he had to read a statement instead of just being able to say it. | ||
| It's like, Elizabeth, if you want them to eat dirt, what you are concerned about there is the people that are on Snap. | ||
| And again, we should figure out how many people are on Snap and why are they on Snap? | ||
| And if you keep telling us it's 40 million people on Snap, why is it that 40 million people need government assistance to eat? | ||
| There's also a zillion videos out right now. | ||
| There's a huge TikTok account that just started, I guess, or it started over the last couple of weeks that's showing people on Snap going into the store and the type of crap that they are buying. | ||
| And it's all like the worst kind of foods and they throw it into the bin and they're so proud of it. | ||
| And then those are the same people who end up overweight and more of a drain on the healthcare system, which addresses what I talked about before. | ||
| If we're all in it, if it's universal health care, and then we're paying certain people to eat all of the wrong foods, maybe there is a problem there. | ||
| And maybe SNAP benefits should only go towards Whole Foods or something else. | ||
| But I know they'll never have that conversation. | ||
| But Elizabeth, if you really cared. | ||
| Elizabeth, I got one for you. | ||
| I posed this question on Twitter yesterday. | ||
| I got some funny answers on this. | ||
| But do you think Bernie Sanders bought one person a hamburger during the government shutdown? | ||
| He was so concerned about SNAP. | ||
| Do you think AOC went anywhere and bought some eggs for anybody? | ||
| Or do you think Eliz or just any of these people, you think any of them did that? | ||
| Of course they didn't, because progressives don't actually want to be good. | ||
| They want to pretend they are good while using your money. | ||
| That's how it works. | ||
| Here is Angus King, one of the senators who did jump the Schumer vote, explaining to Joe Scarborough that the shutdown didn't work and Trump now came out looking better. | ||
| You have to go back to what the strategy was at the beginning of the shutdown. | ||
| There were two goals, both of which I support. | ||
| One was standing up to Donald Trump. | ||
| The other was getting some resolution on the ACA premium tax credit issue. | ||
| The problem was the shutdown wasn't accomplishing either goals, and there was practically, well, there was zero likelihood that it was going to. | ||
| In terms of standing up to Donald Trump, the shutdown actually gave him more power. | ||
| Exhibit A being what he's done with SNAP and SNAP benefits across the country. | ||
| Oh, by the way, Joe, you're going to love this. | ||
| Guess who's getting paid during the shutdown? | ||
| Not the park rangers or air traffic controllers, the ICE agents. | ||
| Well, I'm fine with ICE agents being paid. | ||
| I'm showing you that clip to show you that even the Democrats who jumped ship, like they even, like, they're not that great. | ||
| Wait, am I correct? | ||
| Was he one of the ones that jumped ship? | ||
| Or did I just make that up? | ||
| I feel like I might have made that up. | ||
| Did Angus King jump over? | ||
| I might have literally made that up in the middle of the show. | ||
| I normally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What's that? | ||
| Did Angus King vote to end the shutdown? | ||
| Was he one of the people that I read? | ||
| This is a lot. | ||
| We're doing a full-on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, he was not, was he? | |
| He did. | ||
| Oh, he did. | ||
| I thought I completely made that up. | ||
| He's an independent, and apparently he did. | ||
| Okay, very good. | ||
| Here is the most racist woman on television, although in a weird way, she's not talking about racism right now. | ||
| Sonny Haasin over at The View explained that Republicans want to cut SNAP benefits, which means they want to starve people, and the Democrats caved. | ||
| Again, Sonny, did you feed anyone during this? | ||
| I don't know how much can we find out how much Sonny makes a year? | ||
| Did you donate $100 into buying a gift basket for a poor family? | ||
| And of course, what is it really about for her? | ||
| Schumer, he's not radical enough, and he is done. | ||
| Let's be clear. | ||
| The Republicans run the House. | ||
| The Republicans run the Senate. | ||
| The Republicans run the White House. | ||
| The Republicans run the Supreme Court, as far as I'm concerned. | ||
| This was a choice by Republicans to cut SNAP benefits. | ||
| This was a choice by Republicans to cut ACA subsidies. | ||
| This was a choice by the Republicans to gut the federal government and federal employment. | ||
| Democrats had nothing to do with it. | ||
| I want an opposition party. | ||
| I think the Democrats caved. | ||
| I think the Democrats let down the American people. | ||
| And like you, Lookie, I have absolutely no faith that the Republican Party will come to the negotiating table in good faith. | ||
| You know, you do something like this, shame on you the first time. | ||
| You do it twice, three times, four times, shame on me. | ||
| Shame on the Democrats for even believing that the Republicans will, you know, even vote on it. | ||
| I think Chuck Schumer, his days are over. | ||
| If he cannot put that, if he cannot keep his caucus together, if he cannot keep his caucus together, he needs to go. | ||
| He needs to be. | ||
| They are all so angry. | ||
| This is why you don't make politics the center of your universe. | ||
| And you better believe in something else besides what's going on right now. | ||
| Like, so freaking angry. | ||
| But again, Sonny, what I would say to you is for 40 days, you guys complained that people were starving and SNAP benefits weren't being paid and everything else. | ||
| So then eight Democrats decided to open the government so that people wouldn't starve again. | ||
| Wouldn't you be at least happy about that temporarily? | ||
| Like say, okay, hey, the government is running again. | ||
| Those people are not starving anymore. | ||
| I mean, unless what really is going on here is it's all bullshit. | ||
| It's all lies. | ||
| Everything they do is based in fear and hysteria and everything else. | ||
| But even putting that aside, I would welcome you the same question to Sonny Hostin. | ||
| You make, we're told, it looks like about $2 mil a year over there. | ||
| I think her husband is worth a gajillion dollars too. | ||
| So you have plenty of money. | ||
| I don't begrudge you any of that. | ||
| But how about you do something for the people that are hungry? | ||
| Like, could you do that yourself, at least temporarily? | ||
| Like, you don't have to do it all the time, but when you're so concerned that the government's not feeding all of these people, could you maybe do a little of that? | ||
| I am being told by Joseph right now that her husband is worth a cool $450 million, according to Yahoo. | ||
| So I assume that means he could buy like a couple happy meals or something for these people. | ||
| Alas, I'm going to guess she did jack shit. | ||
| Here is Bernie Sanders, who is on, you know, you might argue he's on the losing side of this, right? | ||
| Because the progressives wanted to keep starving people and keep the government closed. | ||
| But in reality, he's on the winning side because this is going to break apart the Democrat Party. | ||
| And that's what he's long wanted as a socialist. | ||
| So here he is going after Chuck Schumer, a man who, again, voted no on the freaking thing in the first place. | ||
| But sorry, Chuck, you ain't saving face. | ||
| Look, what you got right now, Chuck Schumer is part of the establishment. | ||
| And I'm sorry to say that many people in the Democratic caucus are part of it. | ||
| I would say we have eight or nine out of 47 people who I would consider to be progressives. | ||
| So you can argue, and I can make the case that Chuck Schumer has done a lot of bad things. | ||
| But I think getting rid of him, who's going to replace him? | ||
| Who is going to replace him? | ||
| The issue right now is doing primers, getting people involved in the political process. | ||
| We're going to create a government and an economy that works for everybody who have the guts to take on the oligarchs. | ||
| So I think we need to take on the Democratic establishment all over this country. | ||
| So you get it, guys. | ||
| That's what this really is about. | ||
| Chuck thought that he could just kind of feed them a little something. | ||
| I'll vote no. | ||
| You guys vote yes. | ||
| We'll keep it on the DL. | ||
| It's exactly what John Kennedy predicted, right? | ||
| And he thought that might keep the wolves at bay. | ||
| He thought That might keep the barbarians at the gate. | ||
| But now the barbarians are in, and you are in a lot of trouble, man. | ||
| But if Bernie is right about that, that they've got about, what did he say about? | ||
| They've got about eight of the like hardcore radical progressives in there and the rest of them aren't, and they're going to primary all of them. | ||
| If he's right, then how about the majority of you Democrats again, who I don't agree with on most political points at this juncture, how about you guys get some balls and start pushing them out of the party instead of just letting them push you out of the party and going full communist? | ||
| How about you guys get some balls? | ||
| That would be my recommendation to you, although I doubt you're tuning into the Rubin Report to get my political procrastinations. | ||
| Let's talk about Morgan AND Morgan for a minute, and then we will talk about the new presumptive leader of the Democrat, and he is a cold-blooded lizard himself. | ||
| I'm not talking about the iguanas falling out of the tree, although he's at least partially related to them. | ||
| If you've ever been seriously hurt in an accident, your injury could actually be worth millions, and most people have no idea. | ||
| Insurance companies love to lowball claims offering way less than what you deserve. | ||
| That's why there's Morgan AND Morgan, America's largest injury law firm with over a thousand attorneys across 50 states. | ||
| They've been fighting for people for more than 30 years and they don't settle for low ball offers. | ||
| Just recently they won 12 million dollars in Florida, 26 million in Philadelphia and 6.8 million in New York all way above what insurance companies offered. | ||
| And the best part, it's completely free unless you win. | ||
| No upfront costs, no hidden fees. | ||
| It takes only a couple minutes to see if you have a case. | ||
| Did you know you can start a claim with America's largest injury law firm in just one click? | ||
| It's super easy, just go to Forthepeople.com. | ||
| slash Ruben or click the link in the description and pin comment. | ||
| So a little continuation of where we left off there. | ||
| Here is Bernie waving his arm. | ||
| He's married Bernie Sanders in this clip, I warn you in advance and he's telling everybody they want more morons and bonies. | ||
| So what we have got to do is go above and beyond what happened yesterday that terrible, terrible vote and understand that yes, you are parts of the Democratic establishment who are way, way out of touch with where the American people are or where we have got to go, and our job is to build a political movement. | ||
| We are doing it with the three candidates of the Senate I expect more to come with many candidates in the House, candidates all over this country running for local office. | ||
| We're going to build that movement, grassroots movement, to do what Mamdani did in New York City, all over this country. | ||
| Well, there it is. | ||
| That's what we're going to do. | ||
| We're going to primary all of the moderate people. | ||
| I'm not a Democrat. | ||
| I caucused with the Democrats. | ||
| The Democrats actually should have kicked me out a long time ago, because I was here only to destroy the country. | ||
| By the way, i've never passed a serious piece of legislation. | ||
| I've been in the government for 40 plus years. | ||
| Yes, i'm a millionaire with three houses and I used to rail against millionaires all the time. | ||
| But now i'm a millionaire, so I rail against the billionaires. | ||
| You see how it goes, but i'm telling you. | ||
| I'm telling you what i'm gonna do. | ||
| What i'm gonna do is i'm gonna do the thing that I said, which is primary, all the people who love America, who like capitalism and stuff, Oh, God. | ||
| We put this little image together because the Democrats are really going to have to figure out what to do. | ||
| And I think we can illustrate it quite effectively here. | ||
| So three points for a great Democrat leader. | ||
| You're going to have to toe the DNC line. | ||
| Now, the DNC line is a little hard to figure out what it is because is it anything of the remaining moderate? | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| It's probably someone that just wants to govern as a giant pandering big government flanky floozy who's destroyed virtually everything. | ||
| And there we have a picture of smiling Gavin Newsome. | ||
| So that seems like it makes sense. | ||
| You have to be presidential. | ||
| Well, I will give him credit, you know, using the aborted babies that he puts in the grinder and then uses them as hair gel. | ||
| He does look presidential. | ||
| And can you put the image back for just a second? | ||
| Pushes radical policies with a smile. | ||
| I mean, that is Gavin Newsom more than anything else. | ||
| So now let's dive into where Gavin Newsom is at with things. | ||
| He went on CNN, talked to Jake Tapper, and Tapper asked him if Prop 50, where he re-zoned California so that it will become even more of a Democrat supermajority, if that really is about him potentially running for president. | ||
| Prop 50. | ||
| Whether that was part of a longer-term campaign for you, because obviously you have acknowledged you're thinking about running for president, possibly in 2028. | ||
| You haven't made any decisions. | ||
| You're focused on the midterms. | ||
| I know everything you're about to say. | ||
| But whether or not the decision was influenced by that at all, what about the response to the decision? | ||
| Has that changed your calculus at all? | ||
| It does seem like Democrats see fight in you, and a lot of them seem to be, at least the ones we just saw upstairs in Texas, like the fight. | ||
| I mean, Congressman Al Green introduced you as a future president of the United States. | ||
| These are very generous words. | ||
| Look, with humility, let me say two things. | ||
| I disagree marginally with the premise of your question. | ||
| This is the Election Rigging Response Act. | ||
| This was not a fight we chose. | ||
| This is a fight we felt was important to fight. | ||
| Proposition 50 was never on the docket, was not part of the agenda. | ||
| For me, though, it goes back further, goes back to the federalization of the National Guard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God, he's just horrible with this guy. | |
| He has a massive, massive, ridiculous supermajority in that state. | ||
| He has caused businesses and people to flee. | ||
| Nobody is like, I'm going to move to California to start my dreams. | ||
| Like some people, I guess, still move there because the weather is still okay if your house isn't burning down because he can't manage forest fires or whatever. | ||
| But we know the, I don't even have to bother getting into that and all the U-Hauls that leave and everything else, right? | ||
| We know all of that stuff. | ||
| But him implying that he did Prop 50 because it was he's trying to save America, right, guys? | ||
| It was Texas. | ||
| I'm not even defending red districting at all. | ||
| I'm not defending gerrymandering. | ||
| I'm not defending anything that Texas did or didn't do or anything else. | ||
| But his basic position is I will save democracy by destroying it. | ||
| The ends justify the means. | ||
| And do you think he is really going to save democracy? | ||
| Listen, just listen to the hysteria. | ||
| This is all the hint you need to know that he is going to run for president. | ||
| It's not about the rule of law anymore. | ||
| It's the rule of Don. | ||
| He's picking and choosing, deciding which court decisions he agrees with. | ||
| He's quite literally running an extortion racket. | ||
| And not just with universities like UCLA and others in California, but he's doing it with law firms. | ||
| He's doing media organizations. | ||
| He's doing it with some of the most well-heeled and powerful corporate leaders. | ||
| You're seeing state capitalism, not just crony capitalism. | ||
| What? | ||
| There's the one thing everything has in common, the tariffs. | ||
| The tariffs for him are about leverage and about the game that he's advancing. | ||
| Ultimately, that a nurse to his personal advantage and his family's advantage as well. | ||
| It's all happening in plain sight. | ||
| And so for me, I have more clarity as it relates to this moment. | ||
| Prop 50 was part of that. | ||
| The outcome was meaningful. | ||
| The outcomes all across the country, I think, just give us more confidence as we move in the future. | ||
| You know, I always like to give these guys credit or give these guys not credit. | ||
| I try to give credit where credit is due. | ||
| I try to give these guys a little advice. | ||
| And here's Jake, where I would give you a little advice. | ||
| He's just babbling, like he's just babbling. | ||
| What is he talking about? | ||
| Yes, the tariffs were designed so that Donald Trump's family could get richer. | ||
| We know we have had these completely out-of-whack trade deals. | ||
| Almost everyone acknowledges that. | ||
| Even Democrats acknowledge it. | ||
| They don't like tariffs now because he likes tariffs as a way of evening the playing field. | ||
| And you can have your own internal debate on whether you think tariffs are good and whether they're just leverage or whatever. | ||
| You can have those conversations. | ||
| But yes, Donald Trump became president again on the idea of we're going to stop having America screwed. | ||
| We are going to put America first. | ||
| But really what he was doing was trying to enrich his family. | ||
| It's just profoundly absurd, but not as profoundly absurd as it's not as profoundly absurd as when he says he's not running for president. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So are you trying to bring people to the table so you can run for president? | |
| No, God, that seems the most miserable job in the world. | ||
| I think that's because they're running for president. | ||
| No, I have no zero. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't even talk. | |
| Did I hear you say you don't want to be president ever? | ||
| No, who wants that? | ||
| With all due respect, ex-president sounds like a great job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, there's only one way to get there. | |
| No. | ||
| Here's a tape. | ||
| You'll have this tape. | ||
| No. | ||
| You're promising not to run for president. | ||
| Was that your promise? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| But let me give you a proof point. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| You need the proof. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| You just wanted that quote. | ||
| You just want this tape. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You promised. | |
| You made a promise. | ||
| You broke your presentation. | ||
| We're not breakers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you running? | |
| Are you running? | ||
| Would you ever? | ||
| Let me answer your question. | ||
| No, and then no, and then no, no, no, no, and then no. | ||
| Nothing I dislike more than the politician that sits there and lies to you. | ||
| And we all just sit there rolling our eyes going, give me a break. | ||
| Man, you know, you know those clips that we show you from like Donahue and Oprah Winfrey in the 80s when they're asking, I mean, literally Oprah Winfrey, will you run for president? | ||
| That just, and now she has total Trump derangement syndrome. | ||
| And they ask him, will you run for president? | ||
| And Trump is always like, well, I'd prefer not to, but, you know, we are throwing our country away. | ||
| And he talks about the trade deals and he talks about the borders, all of the stuff. | ||
| I mean, no one has been more consistent over the last four or five decades in American public life than Donald Trump, right? | ||
| But when they ask him, his response always is, I don't want to do it. | ||
| I'm doing other things. | ||
| I'm building businesses. | ||
| I'm building hotels. | ||
| We're changing cityscapes and all of these things. | ||
| Like, that's what I'm doing. | ||
| I want somebody to do it. | ||
| And they basically forced him into it because he realized, like Homer Simpson, I'm a guy like me, right? | ||
| Newsom is the complete reverse of that. | ||
| He's telling you, I'm not going to do it when you know damn well he is going to do it. | ||
| And I would say the most dangerous part of Newsom in a weird way is that is Newsom a psychotic, yes, he is a psychopath, but is he a like, does he fundamentally hate the United States of America? | ||
| No, the guy is the grand, what is he, the grandson of Paul Getty, and he grew up rich and he's got the winery and he's got the good life and all of the stuff it's afforded him so much, his fake teeth and slick hair. | ||
| Like it's done all that for him. | ||
| So does he fundamentally hate America the way that Bernie and the progressives hate America? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| But someone who stands for nothing, he stands, he has no principle other than attaining power. | ||
| In a weird way, he's far more dangerous than if you just threw out some ridiculous ideologue Bernie type out there. | ||
| Here he is over the last couple of days. | ||
| He's been in Brazil explaining that the Palisades fire, where there was no water in the freaking reservoir, so that when the fire department showed up, they literally couldn't get water to stop the houses from burning down. | ||
| Although the guy, we'll leave that aside for a second. | ||
| Here he is explaining that despite that, that it was really about climate change. | ||
| That's why it all burned down. | ||
| Home values will start to decline. | ||
| You're seeing it across the spectrum right now in my state included, which is one of the most blessed and cursed states as it relates to climate. | ||
| We're on the tip of the spear of climate change. | ||
| Simultaneous droughts and simultaneous floods. | ||
| The hots are getting a lot hotter, the dries drier. | ||
| You saw one of the most devastating wildfires in American history in the middle of winter in Los Angeles in January. | ||
| 100 mile-hour winds attached to fire. | ||
| And as we rebuild, the number one concern people have, how do I get my home insured? | ||
| And how do you get a developer to develop a home that can't get a mortgage, which requires home insurance? | ||
| So from across the spectrum, from financial risk to the issue of cost of living, which is universal, to global competitiveness, this is a no-brainer. | ||
| As I say, what Trump is doing is unprecedented in American history. | ||
| As they say, what Trump is doing is unprecedented. | ||
| Yes, the fire and the building codes and the lack of water, somehow that has something to do with Trump, or we should maintain giant international agreements like the Paris Accords that nobody, there's no mechanism that forces anyone to do anything except the United States dumps money into like everything. | ||
| I should be clear, he is not Paul Getty's. | ||
| I was just babbling off the top of my head. | ||
| He's not the grandson of Paul Getty, the Getty Museum, which almost burned down in several of the fires. | ||
| His father was Paul Getty's attorney and he delivered the ransom money to the kidnappers of Paul Getty's grandchild, which if you, that whole story is a whole other thing, which is quite interesting, but not for right now. | ||
| But here he is a little more from the evil lizard man explaining that Elon, the great capitalist Elon Musk, who's building tunnels underneath LA, who's trying to send rockets out there, who's got Starlink up there who freed us with ex-Twitter, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| That it's all because Elon's success, it's all because of California's regulatory environment. | ||
| We've extended out now for decades this commitment to sustainability and stability as it relates to the investment posture. | ||
| There's a reason Tesla was created in California. | ||
| 3.2 billion reasons why they were supported. | ||
| There'd be no Elon Musk, as we know him today, forgive us, had it not been. | ||
| I say that with love in my heart. | ||
| Trillion dollars will do that. | ||
| But proud of that, proud of his innovation, proud of that leadership because of California's regulatory environment, because of the Air Resources Board, because of that regulatory posture that we are now building on and building off of and now extending it substantively to 2045. | ||
| Gavin, some of that would be correct if we lived in Bizarro Land. | ||
| It's the regulatory situation in California and the high taxes that has caused Elon Musk to move all his companies out of California. | ||
| You're talking about two decades ago when people moved to California because there was still the promise of freedom before taxation went completely bananas and before the regulations all went crazy. | ||
| If that's what you mean, I guess you're saying something true. | ||
| But people are leaving because of you. | ||
| Like, that is the fundamental truth. | ||
| Why are they moving to Texas? | ||
| Why are they moving to Florida? | ||
| It's not because of our regulatory environments here. | ||
| It's because of our deregulatory environments here. | ||
| We have less regulation. | ||
| We make it easier for companies to build. | ||
| We have less corporate tax so that they can invest more, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| This is a bit of a non-sequitur, but back in 2007, Gavin Newsom banged his best friend's wife, who his best friend was his chief of staff. | ||
| He banged his wife, and I just thought that would be, it would just be kind of fun to show, you know. | ||
| Everything you've heard and read is true. | ||
| And I am deeply sorry about that. | ||
| I've hurt someone I care deeply about, Alex Turk, his friends and family. | ||
| And that is something that I have to live with and something that I am deeply sorry for. | ||
| I am also sorry that I've let the people of San Francisco down. | ||
| They expect a lot of their mayor. | ||
| And my personal lapse of judgment aside, I am committed to restoring their trust and confidence and will work very hard in the upcoming months to make sure that the business of running the city is framed appropriately. | ||
| That one was really just for me. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| But think about what a scumbag. | ||
| Like, it's one thing to cheat, right? | ||
| It's one thing to cheat when you're married, but to bang your best friend's wife. | ||
| Like, you guys are pretty good friends. | ||
| And you're not even married, but if he banged your girlfriend, would you still be friends? | ||
| He wouldn't show. | ||
| He would not, he would not show. | ||
| Wow, Connor, dropping the hammer. | ||

You stay clear. | |
| Let's talk about Chef IQ for a second, and then we'll go to whatever the Democrats have left. | ||
| Cooking Thanksgiving dinner is high stakes. | ||
| It feels like one dried-out turkey can ruin the whole day. | ||
| That's why I love Chef IQ Sense. | ||
| This wireless cooking thermometer takes all the guesswork out of holiday cooking. | ||
| The USDA says turkey needs to reach 165 degrees to be safe. | ||
| Your eyes can deceive you, but Chef IQ Sense makes sure that you hit that perfect temperature every time. | ||
| It couldn't be easier. | ||
| Just insert the sensor, tell the app what you're cooking, then sit back and relax. | ||
| Chef IQ Sense tells you when to flip, when to take it off the heat, and even how long to let it rest. | ||
| Basically, it's like having a personal chef watching the stove so you can actually hang out with your guests. | ||
| No more oven peeking, no more dried-out turkey, just perfectly cooked meals every single time. | ||
| And it's not just for turkey. | ||
| It works for steaks, chicken, fish, whatever you're making. | ||
| And right now, you can get 30% off site-wide with code Rubin at chefiq.com. | ||
| That's chefiq.com, promo code Rubin. | ||
| Connor just choked out Joseph. | ||
| That was a total joke, man. | ||
| He said, I have no evidence to think that, and you're not even married yet. | ||
| Joe Biden was the president before this. | ||
| He obviously was not in charge of anything. | ||
| There was an autopen doing a lot of it. | ||
| He got a soft coup, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| But only a year and a half ago, he was running for president, and they were all pretending that it was going to be possible that he would not only be president right now, but for the next three years. | ||
| Think how absolutely insane it is. | ||
| He showed up yesterday at a restaurant. | ||
| And tell me if this man you think could have been president right now. | ||
| I'm not even doing that to be gratuitous. | ||
| It's just like this is what when you look at what the Democrats now have, it's partially because they propped that up. | ||
| They were not honest about everything. | ||
| They lied about everything. | ||
| And it wasn't just that he, you know, by the way, it's not about, it's not even making fun of anyone's age or anyone's conditions. | ||
| And now he has cancer and everything else. | ||
| It's not about making fun of any of those things. | ||
| It's about making fun of the theater around all of it, right? | ||
| because it was that guy, and then it was a lady who he literally, Biden himself, only brought on board because she was black and female, and apparently because she was a 3D chess player. | ||
| I was aware of my opponent's strategies, and I wasn't about to fall prey or fall into those traps. | ||
| And part of his strategy and those around him was to try and take me off our game and message. | ||
| And I wasn't about to be distracted by those little, those flames that he was trying to throw to get me away from my highest priority, which was talking to people about the economy and their well-being in terms of their financial well-being. | ||
| And that's, so I was, I understood the game that was being played, and I made a decision that I wasn't going to get played. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And is she the president? | |
| Because I'm pretty sure she's laughing at the wrong point there. | ||
| So again, it's just more nothingness with her, which I just put out there to illustrate. | ||
| They just don't know what they are going to do right now. | ||
| But a party that won't, doesn't know what it's going to do, whether it's Dementia Guy or her or Otto Penn or Timu Obama or Schumer is on the way out. | ||
| What this is rife for, and this is the warning here, what this is rife for is for the radicals to take over, which is exactly what Bernie says his plan is. | ||
| So now let's jump back to Timu Obama. | ||
| Here he is on with Kirsten Welker on MSNBC, and she's wondering if Mom Donnie, if Moron Zamboni, can deliver on his promises. | ||
| And you can see he doesn't, because he doesn't really believe in him. | ||
| He doesn't really want it to happen, but he does not know what to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So frozen rent, free buses, universal child care. | |
| Do you believe that he can deliver on those promises very quickly, Leader Jeffries? | ||
| Well, he's going to have to work with the Rent Guidelines Board and probably more importantly, with the governor of the state of New York and the state legislature in order to enact those proposals. | ||
| But it's all centered around the notion of making New York City more affordable, which is, of course, what we have to do throughout America in a country that's far too expensive. | ||
| This is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. | ||
| It's unacceptable that far too many people are struggling to live paycheck to pay. | ||
| Okay, so you can see what he's saying. | ||
| He doesn't want to get on board all the Mom Dami stuff. | ||
| But then, okay, then he gives us these just sort of generic platitudes about expenses. | ||
| Okay, so then how about you push for deregulation? | ||
| How about you push for tax cuts? | ||
| How about you acknowledge that it was your party that printed all the money and was more for lockdowns, which we're still in the hangover of, and everything else. | ||
| But you're not going to do that. | ||
| Interestingly, New York mayor, New York governor Kathy Hochul, who's quite horrific in her own right, who endorsed Mom Donnie and then he refused to endorse her, which is just perfect for these people. | ||
| She's now saying she's, quote, not ready to move forward with free buses. | ||
| So I don't know how all the inner workings of New York works, whether free buses, I guess some of the funding, I guess, comes from the state. | ||
| Not all of it comes from the city. | ||
| But okay, that might be a little bit of a Democrat that is going to stand up to some of this lunacy because again, guys, it doesn't take a wizard or a mathematician to know that nothing is free. | ||
| Yesterday, Zorhan or Moron Zamboni introduced his new chief of staff. | ||
| Her name is Elle Bisgard Church. | ||
| She is a socialist from Cali, and she has no real world experience, but here she is for just a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would now like to introduce my chief of staff, L. Bisgard Church. | |
| All right, great ladies. | ||
| Seems nice. | ||
| That's just fine. | ||
| We have a little info on Mrs. Church. | ||
| Mamdani's chief of staff, El Bisgard Church, a California transplant with zero executive experience, zero budget management, and zero accountability for anything beyond DSA-approved slogans. | ||
| Her resume, activist radio show, academic theory, and organizing arrest performative stunts, not running a city agency. | ||
| And this is from CityDex NYC, which is a great follow-on X. | ||
| And then he goes into the rest of the cabinet, which is just an absolute disaster. | ||
| And now let's get over to Zor. | ||
| I can't call him Moron every time. | ||
| So let's go over to Zorhan or Zoron or whatever you want to call him. | ||
| Here he is saying, and I'm fairly certain this is illegal, but nothing matters anymore. | ||
| Here he is explaining that the NYPD will not work with ICE because he wants New York City to remain a sanctuary city. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What I will continue to do is be someone who will stand up for New Yorkers when Donald Trump is seeking to fulfill his promise to create the single largest deportation force in American history. | |
| And my NYPD will continue to not be of assistance to ICE whenever they are trying to terrorize New Yorkers across the five boroughs. | ||
| Okay, ICE isn't trying to terrorize anyone. | ||
| ICE is going after illegals who are not here legally. | ||
| It's in the word legal and illegal. | ||
| It's all there, right? | ||
| And they're removing those people from the United States who should not be here. | ||
| If you live in New York City, you really should leave if you're decent. | ||
| I know it's not fun. | ||
| I would also recommend watching Fiddler on the Roof again and watch at the end of Fiddler on the Roof. | ||
| When it's time to go, it's time to go and you can find greener pastures. | ||
| That's the story of the Hebrews. | ||
| They don't like the Hebrews very much, obviously. | ||
| But sometimes when it's time to go, it's time to go because you don't want to be there when the Cossacks or the Marxists or the et cetera, et cetera, has come. | ||
| But it's not just moron Zamboni, that's terrible. | ||
| They've also got Lady Eyelashes, Jasmine Crockett. | ||
| And, well, to Bernie's point, they want some more crazy people to run. | ||
| Well, she's considering running her Senate in Texas. | ||
| So I got to ask you because your name has been floated all over Washington, D.C., and I'm sure all over Texas as a potential U.S. Senate candidate. | ||
| What can you tell us? | ||
| Yeah, I am considering it, is what I can tell you. | ||
| I think that we're living in unprecedented times. | ||
| And I think an unprecedented candidacy is what we need to do in Texas if we're going to do something different. | ||
| And so I think when you're talking about how expensive these races are, starting with someone who is known and has a brand, a brand that doesn't take from anybody, I think being a fighter for the people is what people are looking for. | ||
| That is where we are at in politics, guys. | ||
| Why is she going to run? | ||
| Because she's known and she has a brand. | ||
| Does she have any of the right ideas? | ||
| Has she accomplished anything in her life, much like Zamboni? | ||
| Has he ever done anything other than run and win? | ||
| Can he accomplish anything? | ||
| But he's got a brand and it's a slick brand. | ||
| And she's got a brand. | ||
| I'm telling you guys, I'm going to be for Florida secession. | ||
| Like there's just no way around it at this point. | ||
| But if you want to see like just like the level of patheticness around the Democrats, you know, I'm always looking for the Democrats. | ||
| I always keep saying I'm looking for the lefties online, like who are the pundits online, not just the generic CNN people. | ||
| There's this woman, Stephanie Miller. | ||
| She's been a lefty progressive radio host for decades. | ||
| I think I did her show way back when, like when I was a lefty, probably over 10 years ago. | ||
| This picture came out of her. | ||
| She's kissing Jasmine Crockett's feet. | ||
| But I'm told we're in a cult. | ||
| We're the ones in a cult. | ||
| Here's Trump on Crockett. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This Crockett, this is a very low IQ person. | |
| And I look at somebody that comes from Somalia who, where they don't have anything. | ||
| They don't have police. | ||
| They don't have military. | ||
| They don't have anything. | ||
| All they have is crime. | ||
| And she comes in and tells us how to run our country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Constitution says this, the Constitution, the whole thing is crazy. | |
| All right, so it was a little bit of a strange segue that he did there. | ||
| He's talking about Crockett, and then obviously he's moving on to Ilhan, but it shows like just the radicalness of the party. | ||
| So I didn't want to end the show on that. | ||
| I wanted to end on, okay, so what are we going to do here, right? | ||
| You know, yesterday I talked quite a bit in the middle of the show about that there's been some craziness on the right. | ||
| And I think good people, I think most Americans are good. | ||
| I think it's at least 80% of us that we get lost in the battles. | ||
| And I include myself in that. | ||
| It's all of that, right? | ||
| But most of us are good and decent. | ||
| Most of us want to live with people who are a little bit different and we can disagree on the issues and all of that stuff. | ||
| So how so that's why, actually, keeping MAGA together is so important. | ||
| So I want to show you this video. | ||
| This is Cheryl Hines, who, of course, you know as Cheryl David from Curb Your Enthusiasm, but she's been an actress in Hollywood for years. | ||
| She also happens to be married to RFK. | ||
| So these are hardcore. | ||
| These were people that were hardcore Democrats, right? | ||
| She comes from Democrat Hollywood. | ||
| Bobby Kennedy, his name's Freaking Kennedy, hardcore Democrats. | ||
| Well, she's on a book tour right now. | ||
| I think we're going to have her on the show in a week or two. | ||
| And she went on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast. | ||
| And here they are talking, coming to agreement about a man that they both hated probably two years ago, Donald Trump. | ||
| Again, one good thing about Trump, he really, really does not like war. | ||
| Which I love that about him. | ||
| I kind of do because I don't want war either. | ||
| And most of them are unnecessary. | ||
| I mean, he took a long time when I had that dinner with him talking about the pictures he sees coming from Ukraine, the stuff that doesn't get out on the news. | ||
| It's like raw footage of bodies in the field. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And you could tell it really moved him. | ||
| He's like, I do not want to see this. | ||
| And I'm the kind of guy who can fix this. | ||
| At least, you know, he's never not going to be Trump. | ||
| So, of course, he's like, I solved nine wars. | ||
| You know, okay, even if it's half that, it's still good that we're solving them and not starting them. | ||
| That's the thing that I find that I really like about President Trump when he talks about wars and talks about Ukraine. | ||
| And he talks about Ukraine and Russia. | ||
| And he will say they're losing people on both sides. | ||
| So I'm not just playing that clip because it's giving Kopal a nice little shout out. | ||
| That is a bottle of Copal right there. | ||
| I'm playing it because, look, these are two people who are not really in Trump's camp, right? | ||
| If there was an if Trump was running again, he's always threatening to run again. | ||
| I still don't know if Bill would vote for him, right? | ||
| But what Bill's saying is he does not like war. | ||
| He actually is affected by those images. | ||
| We are wrapping this stuff up. | ||
| And then he's saying, he still jokes during an ego and whatever. | ||
| And there you have Cheryl, who I have no doubt, I've heard her talk about it, actually, and I will ask her about it, who has lost friends over her husband joining her husband joining scary Donald Trump as he now tries to solve autism and as he tries to get, you know, dies out of our children's cereal and everything else. | ||
| Here they are a little bit more on the human side of Trump, which you don't get to see that often. | ||
| Somebody was just asking me about when I met him, what surprised me the most. | ||
| And I said, I was surprised that he really likes to listen to people. | ||
| He's very curious. | ||
| And what they hated when I said that. | ||
| Again, because I'm just telling you what happened. | ||
| Should I lie? | ||
| I guess so. | ||
| I guess right. | ||
| He kicked me in the balls under the table. | ||
| Like I knew he would. | ||
| He threw the spaghetti against the wall when I raised the subject of tariffs. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| Mentioned it again. | ||
| They hated me for it. | ||
| But as opposed to so many important people I've met who, when you talk to them, you don't feel like they're really listening. | ||
| They're kind of like, you know what I mean? | ||
| And then when they answer you, it doesn't quite track. | ||
| They're just waiting for their turn to talk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Or they're just on a just different level. | ||
| I mean, these are soap people, too. | ||
| I've had that. | ||
| But I didn't get that with him at all. | ||
| I've got a guy who looked in my eyes, was listening to what I said, waited until I finished. | ||
| Again, this is someone that you might have said five years ago had Trump derangement syndrome. | ||
| And Cheryl, who would have never said anything positive about Donald Trump. | ||
| So what does that tell you? | ||
| And by the way, that tracks, he said the word tracks. | ||
| That tracks exactly with my experience when I've now met him a few times, but the first time, particularly when I met the president, and he was interesting and he made eye contact and he listened and he asked questions and all of those things. | ||
| And that does tell you that there is something fundamentally different between him and some of these hysterical people that we've shown you on the show today. | ||
| But I want to show you one more clip from that, if you can bear with me for one more second. | ||
| One more clip from that sit down, because I think this gets to the heart of what has been so confusing to so many people for so long. | ||
| The entire cultural apparatus for decades now has told us that Democrats are good guys and they're kind and nice and they like diversity and they're decent and Republicans like war and money and they're mean and cold and everything else. | ||
| Well, here's two, I would say, former Democrats on that. | ||
| The Republicans have been very kind to me from the beginning. | ||
| Even from the beginning when Bobby was running as a Democrat, they weren't mean. | ||
| No. | ||
| And they never have been. | ||
| No. | ||
| And I can't say that for the Democrats. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| It's sad because it's not the Democrats we grew up with. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's the difference that people don't, I think, see. | ||
| They're like, why did you turn on the Democrats? | ||
| Well, first of all, I didn't. | ||
| Like I said, we voted for the same person. | ||
| But I'm not going to pretend I don't notice how different they are. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How mean they've become. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So now I want to show you, and you've seen this clip before, but this is a great illustration of why, you know, everyone thinks politics is about policy or something. | ||
| You have to drub people over the head with all with charts and explanations and everything else. | ||
| But it actually is quite human because what Bill is saying right there is that over time, he realized that these Republicans weren't that bad. | ||
| And Cheryl's saying she was kind of surprised that the Republicans were welcoming to Bobby. | ||
| And you may remember a couple of years ago when I had Bobby on the first time and we had never met in person before. | ||
| It was the second we went live on camera, it was the first time we met. | ||
| And by the end of the interview, even though we disagreed on many things, many different things, including affirmative action and much more, we debated it. | ||
| I said to him, I don't know if you'll be a Republican by the end of this thing, but I know you won't be a Democrat. | ||
| You can see his eyes light up. | ||
| Well, now I want to throw back to October of 22 when I sat in that very chair, although they were organized a little bit differently, that Cheryl was in right there. | ||
| And I told Bill exactly that about how kind Republicans really MAGA can be. | ||
| Sounds like they were Trump-loving, not America-loving. | ||
| There were American flags everywhere. | ||
| There were gays for Trump, Latinos for Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yes, everywhere. | ||
| And nobody cared. | ||
| And by the way, they didn't burn down Rodeo Drive like Black Lives Matter and anything. | ||
| And then I started going back. | ||
| I went a few times and I did live streams from there. | ||
| And I'm telling you, you could have walked in that audience and people would have, yes, would a certain amount of people have been like, ah, fuck Bill Maher. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| A lot of people would have been there like, you know what? | ||
| Bill Maher's here. | ||
| That's pretty cool. | ||
| That's pretty cool. | ||
| Which think how different that would be than if you went to an AOC rally where you would be hated beyond imagination. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| I don't mean that as I said. | ||
| No, it's like, it's just true. | ||
| It's just true. | ||
| They're more, the left are more purists. | ||
| So look, this is where we're at right now. | ||
| There's a lot of political fights to happen again. | ||
| There's weird stuff happening on the right, which I'm going to do my best to try to quell some of the lunacy. | ||
| But overall, I think most of us fall into what we've just shown you of these last couple clips. | ||
| It doesn't really matter what your differences with Bill Maher or Cheryl Hines are or anything else. | ||
| Like these are people who love America, right? | ||
| It's against the progressive lunacy and whatever sort of fringe lunacy might be appearing on the right. | ||
| That's the bulk of Americans. | ||
| And we just need better leaders or better communicators to keep pushing that because that is the thing that will save the country right now and well beyond. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| We are a little behind schedule here because we had that odd technical hiccup, I assume, because it's my God, it's only 45 degrees in Miami right now. | ||
| So we're going to do a postgame show, RubinReportLocals.com. | ||
| And then I'm interviewing Chaz Palm and Terry, which is a really interesting one. | ||
| We're going to talk about mafia movies and a whole bunch more. | ||
| And we're going to save that, I think, for around Thanksgiving for you guys. | ||
| So I'm psyched for that. | ||
| So post-game show in a minute. |
