And that is just a little taste and flavor. | |
| you ignorant alright guys Happy New Year, everybody. | ||
| We are back in business. | ||
| It's January 5th, 2026. | ||
| I am Dave Rubin. | ||
| This is the Rubin Report. | ||
| We are live streaming on Rumble, on YouTube, and on locals. | ||
| Share, subscribe, tap that notification bell. | ||
| And I hope you guys are doing well. | ||
| You know, I did not realize when we closed out the year how long this break was going to be. | ||
| We put up a whole bunch of content. | ||
| I was really glad to see that people caught some of our interviews with Arthur Brooks and Dr. Phil and a whole bunch of other stuff that we put up. | ||
| But the break really was pretty much from a week before Christmas. | ||
| And then because Friday was the second this year, I gave the guys a couple extra days off. | ||
| So we had a 17-day break. | ||
| And I just hope for everybody, I certainly hope it, I know it for the guys in this room that everyone got to take some time and be with friends and family and celebrate the holidays and all that stuff. | ||
| But I really, really hope that you guys did as well. | ||
| I feel very refreshed and renewed and reinvigorated and all of those things got a ton of family time. | ||
| We actually had a cousin's wedding down here in Miami and we got my entire family that all the aunts, all the uncles, all the cousins, my parents, all the grandchildren, everybody, we realized that we had not all fully, the extended everybody, had not fully been together since pre-COVID. | ||
| And we finally did that at the wedding and then I hosted everybody here for a day. | ||
| And it was just, it was a reflection of one of the things that I talk about on the show all the time, that our problems will not all be solved by politics. | ||
| They will be solved probably by you first, right? | ||
| Like the individual and family and build up societies that way. | ||
| So I'm feeling very refreshed. | ||
| And it's also nice because 2026 is America's 250th birthday. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| About seven months from now on July 4th, 2026, we will be 250 years old as a nation. | ||
| And just a few weeks, about a week before that, on June 26th, I will turn 50. | ||
| So I view this as a very seminal and important year, not only for me, 50, 50, which I guess a few years ago, that would have seemed very old to me. | ||
| It now seems great that I'm rolling into 50 and I feel good and I'm doing good work and I have a great family and great colleagues and all of those things and these things are all successful. | ||
| It just, it feels great like that I'm rolling into my 50th year. | ||
| And more important than that is that America will be 250. | ||
| And obviously you know what today's show is going to be about. | ||
| It's mostly about what's going on with this Venezuela situation. | ||
| But I think there is going to be a renewed sense of optimism about this country. | ||
| You know, the last couple months of 2025, there was a lot of focus on the economy and the disconnect that young people seem to be feeling from what's happening. | ||
| And there's a certain depression on the right and all the fighting and all of that stuff. | ||
| And then it ended, the year ended politically with there was the big turning point USA conference and it was just fighting, fighting, fighting. | ||
| And I was glad to not be a part of that and then take a little time off to clear my mind. | ||
| But I think this is the year. | ||
| This is the most important year in America's history, maybe since our founding. | ||
| And I know that maybe sounds hyperbolic or over the top or something, but I really believe it. | ||
| We are finally at this moment where the left has been fully exposed for what they are. | ||
| We're going to connect that to Venezuela and what's going on in New York City, where they now have their new communist mayor and all that. | ||
| But we can take this thing back. | ||
| We really, really can. | ||
| We don't have to go down the path of Europe. | ||
| We can fix things. | ||
| We have the president to do it. | ||
| We have the right people in charge to do it. | ||
| And I think that the 250, I just think it's important. | ||
| I think people are going to be excited about America again this year. | ||
| And this Venezuela operation is a perfect example of that. | ||
| So that's setting up my year. | ||
| What I promise you is that I'm going to give you the best of myself to fight for the best of this country for this year. | ||
| And I know that the creator ecosystem, which once, you know, the alt system was like the thing, right? | ||
| Mainstream media is terrible. | ||
| Everyone go to alt media and it was great for a while. | ||
| And then it's become so freaking poisonous. | ||
| And I will not participate in that. | ||
| I promise you something much better. | ||
| That is the plan around here. | ||
| And the other plan is that this is going to be a show for normal people because I think that's right. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| A show for normal people. | ||
| We thought about it over the break. | ||
| You know, we've done the crazy world saying views tagline. | ||
| And then I thought, you know, most people just come up to me and they just seem normal. | ||
| And I think most people are normal. | ||
| And we're going to focus on normal people, which is about 90% of the country. | ||
| And there's a lot of good things happening. | ||
| So let's get to it. | ||
| Oh, and by the way, I thought I was supposed to have a colonoscopy tomorrow. | ||
| So I've been drinking bone broth all day. | ||
| Turns out it's not till next Monday. | ||
| So I'm a little hot right. | ||
| Look, I'm actually dripping. | ||
| Can I get a tissue or something? | ||
| I'm dripping sweat right. | ||
| No, I got one. | ||
| I got one. | ||
| Because I've been drinking bone broth all morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Let's get cracking here. | ||
| I got a few extra days of eating solid food. | ||
| That's 50, man. | ||
| Yeah, you'll be there. | ||
| Don't laugh at me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| So what has happened? | ||
| Well, Maduro, the leader, do that in Star Wars. | ||
| The leader of Venezuela, Maduro, has been captured. | ||
| You know what happened, but let's recap the last 48 hours or so. | ||
| This is from Donald Trump on truth. | ||
| The United States of America has successfully carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicholas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country. | ||
| This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. law enforcement. | ||
| Details to follow. | ||
| There will be a news conference today at 11 a.m. at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| So now look, over the last couple of months, what's been one of the major, major stories we've been covering? | ||
| Well, it's that Venezuela, which is basically a narco-terrorist state, certainly under Nicolas Maduro, has been sending these boats to America. | ||
| We know they have drugs on the boats and all sorts of stuff. | ||
| We started blowing up the boats. | ||
| Then we did a little bit of a naval blockade, and it was pretty much a threat to this guy. | ||
| Stop sending all these drugs over. | ||
| Stop doing some bad stuff. | ||
| America's back. | ||
| We care about the West. | ||
| This is in our hemisphere. | ||
| We ain't going to take this shit anymore. | ||
| And then it got escalated. | ||
| Maduro, just in the last couple of weeks, basically gave a big speech saying, Trump, come and get me. | ||
| And we did it pretty damn quickly. | ||
| And this is from the Rapid Response 47X account. | ||
| There is Nicolas Maduro on the plane with his, those look like glaucoma sunglasses. | ||
| I don't know if they are for any sort of ocular treatment or those are just what you get over there. | ||
| Here's just a quick video of some of the firefight that took place. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So it was a rather extraordinary special operation that they pulled off her. | ||
| I mean, we took the leader of another country, a pretty bad dude. | ||
| We got in and out real quick, real quick. | ||
| No American lives were lost. | ||
| No Americans were hurt. | ||
| I mean, this is because we still are the greatest country in the world and we can still do things like this. | ||
| We can do the unthinkable. | ||
| And if you keep threatening us and you keep sending drugs over and if your leaders are mocking us, we are not going to be the America that we've been for quite some time. | ||
| We're going to do something quick. | ||
| And it's not about nation building or sending thousands of troops in or telling anyone how to live. | ||
| It's that we are a functional country once again who will defend Western values. | ||
| Oh, and I do want to quickly mention that this morning, our housekeeper, Evelyn, who is a wonderful, wonderful lady who's been working with us for years, who really is a part of the family, I would say at this point, who is here legally from Venezuela on asylum, she this morning, with tears in her eyes, when I said good morning to her, she said, thank God for Donald Trump. | ||
| My neighbor across the street, now I'm in Miami, there's tons of Venezuelans here. | ||
| My neighbor across the street suddenly has a big Venezuelan flag next to their American flag on their lawn. | ||
| Like there's something really incredible happening here. | ||
| But speaking of incredible, the speed at which this thing took place was just remarkable. | ||
| I thought this was really funny. | ||
| This is from Lucky Teeter over on the X. Will's gay speech in Stranger Things lasted longer than the operation to remove Maduro from power in Venezuela. | ||
| Apparently the gay, so this was the big thing on social media over the last couple of days, the show Stranger Things. | ||
| I watched the first two seasons. | ||
| It's sort of like a modern day goonies and then I gave up on it. | ||
| But anyway, apparently one of the characters came out. | ||
| My God, a gay person on Netflix? | ||
| I can't believe it. | ||
| That took six minutes. | ||
| What was it? | ||
| Six minutes and 51 seconds. | ||
| Oh, like six minutes and 51 seconds of that show for this kid to come out and to get Maduro in and out of Venezuela. | ||
| A lot of guns, bullets, bombs, rockets. | ||
| Six minutes and 34 seconds. | ||
| Here are this from Red Wave Press just in. | ||
| Photos emerge showing former Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro in U.S. custody alongside DEA and HSI agents following his capture in a U.S. military operation and transfer to New York. | ||
| So not going that well for Nicolas Maduro. | ||
| Also not going that well for some of his allies here in America. | ||
| We'll get to that in a second. | ||
| But look at this. | ||
| This is an aerial shot. | ||
| This is real quick, an aerial shot of Venezuelan apartments. | ||
| listen, listen to the people who are cheering, cheering that the U.S. just got rid of this bad dude. | ||
| So people, the people who have had to live under this communist dictatorship with absolutely, and it's well, well established, fraudulent elections and a guy who was taking for the very top. | ||
| This is what communism, right? | ||
| What does communism do? | ||
| It promises everyone will be equal. | ||
| But of course, there's a very elite top who are just basically giving crumbs to everybody else. | ||
| So the people of Venezuela are thrilled about this. | ||
| And I can, again, assure you that the expats, many of whom who live right here in the city of Miami, are absolutely freaking thrilled about it. | ||
| Why did they move? | ||
| Why did they leave their country? | ||
| People don't, think about yourself. | ||
| Think about your family. | ||
| People don't want to just get up and leave a country. | ||
| I will leave my country now. | ||
| People don't want to do that, but people do it when things become so bad that you have to leave. | ||
| And then America has become the bastion of sanity, of freedom, of the chance to build a better life in the world. | ||
| But maybe some other places can do it too. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| That's a long-term question as to what we can do in Venezuela. | ||
| Here's a great image. | ||
| This is Trump Rubio, Steve Witkoff, and Stephen Miller as the operation was going down. | ||
| Something about the angle there, very sopranos, season four, like when they released their, here's what the season's going to look like, the black and white shot and all that. | ||
| And here's the White House's trailer showing the capture of Maduro. | ||
| Last night, on the order of the President of the United States, and in support of a request from the Department of Justice, the United States military conducted an apprehension mission in Caracas, Venezuela to bring to justice two indicted persons, Nicholas and Cecile Maduro. | ||
| Nicolas Maduro had his chance until he didn't. | ||
| He effed around and he found out. | ||
| This was one of the most stunning, effective, and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, I don't understand yet how they haven't figured this out. | |
| And now, if you don't know, now you know. | ||
| Because this is the way it's going to play out. | ||
| And I think people need to understand that this is not a president that just talks and does letters and press conferences. | ||
| And, you know, if he says he's serious about something, he means it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But don't play games. | |
| Don't play games with this president's in office because it's not going to turn out well. | ||
| What if I told you from the beginning about Marco Rubio? | ||
| Like, this guy was made for this job. | ||
| And there's a lot of all-stars in that cabinet. | ||
| I mean, it's like voted in by the fans all-star team for the most part. | ||
| But I would say he is at the top of his game. | ||
| We have a couple clips of him coming up. | ||
| But they put that together beautifully. | ||
| And I like that they started with Maduro because, again, it was just a few weeks ago, as were all the Democrats are screaming, we had a double tap on a boat. | ||
| And did we accidentally kill one of the drug dealers who was trying to swim after and blah, blah, blah. | ||
| They're all bitching and moaning, always protecting the bad guys, never protecting the people of the United States. | ||
| And there's Maduro going, come and get me. | ||
| And then Trump, unlike, I don't know, say, auto-penned Joe Biden or Barack Obama or any of these people, he actually, when he says something, he actually means it. | ||
| So we blew up some of the votes. | ||
| We started the blockade. | ||
| Maduro just would not change course, simply would not do it. | ||
| And now there's a different sheriff in town. | ||
| It's as simple as that. | ||
| Listen to this from the AF Post. | ||
| The United States is poised to take control of Venezuelan oil reserves valued at approximately $17.3 trillion. | ||
| So there is a game afoot here. | ||
| It should be noted, guys, that Venezuela actually has the most oil in the world, and they are in our hemisphere. | ||
| They have more oil than Saudi Arabia. | ||
| So is this just simply about those drug boats and stopping the encroachment of communism and what he's doing to his own people in fraudulent elections of Venezuela? | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| There probably is something around oil related to this. | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| We have an administration that has been remarkably transparent about pretty much everything. | ||
| So here's Marco Rubio making the rounds on Sunday talk shows, talking to Kristen Welker over on MSNBC or on M. | ||
| And it's not even MSNBC anymore, just regular old boring NBC talking about the U.S. controlling Venezuelan oil. | ||
| States need to take over the Venezuelan oil industry. | ||
| Well, we don't need to. | ||
| First of all, let me go back up. | ||
| We don't need Venezuela's oil. | ||
| We have plenty of oil in the United States. | ||
| What we're not going to allow is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled by adversaries of the United States. | ||
| You have to understand, why does China need their oil? | ||
| Why does Russia need their oil? | ||
| Why does Iran need their oil? | ||
| They're not even in this continent. | ||
| This is the Western Hemisphere. | ||
| This is where we live. | ||
| And we're not going to allow the Western Hemisphere to be a base of operation for adversaries, competitors, and rivals of the United States. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Have specific oil countries. | |
| We also want to see that oil and the proceeds from it. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| We want to see the oil proceeds of that country benefit the people of Venezuela. | ||
| Okay, so there's some interesting stuff here. | ||
| We got a bunch of clips of Rubio because, again, he's just doing a bang up job here. | ||
| What he's saying is we have a ton of oil. | ||
| Now, for years and years, we did not drill. | ||
| What's one thing that Trump said during his reelection and said it the first time around too and the second time? | ||
| Drill, baby, drill, right? | ||
| Like, we have plenty of oil here in the United States. | ||
| So it's not that we need the oil per se. | ||
| But if China and Iran, other countries who are across the world are making a play on Venezuelan oil, if they are all working together in cahoots, then it can completely screw up the market and everything else. | ||
| So now, if we are, let's say, a little friendlier with new leadership in Venezuela, there might be a different game as it relates to worldwide oil prices and all that. | ||
| But even removing oil from this for a second, the reason I mentioned Evelyn earlier and the reason that I mentioned my neighbor across the street and some of the guys that I was playing basketball with this weekend who are Venezuelan is that the people, the people that have had to flee know what communism is. | ||
| And the people who have lived under it know what it is. | ||
| There seems to be a certain set of leftists and I would say far-right nutbags, the horseshoe theory of politics, that don't want to ever do anything good to stop bad guys. | ||
| But actually, people that have lived through this crap, they know what's up. | ||
| Here's Rubio again with Welker talking about the 8 million people who left Venezuela. | ||
| 8 million people left Venezuela. | ||
| 8 million, the single largest mass migration probably in modern history, left Venezuela since 2014 because all the wealth of that country was stolen to the benefit of Maduro and his cronies in the regime, but not to the benefit of people of Venezuela. | ||
| You know how destabilizing 8 million migrants is? | ||
| The number one fear that Brazil has, that Colombia has, that all these countries in the region have about what's happening in Venezuela and our involvement is they're afraid of another mass migration event. | ||
| That's what they feel. | ||
| This is deeply destabilizing stuff. | ||
| It's not going to continue to happen. | ||
| They are not going to come from outside of our hemisphere, destabilize our region in our own backyard, and us have to pay the price for it. | ||
| Not under President Trump. | ||
| Okay, so again, this is a new sheriff is in town, not under President Trump. | ||
| So yes, there's an oil situation here, right? | ||
| For sure. | ||
| There's a drug situation, for sure. | ||
| There is a people living under communism situation for sure. | ||
| And then the other part is the mass immigration situation, right? | ||
| So whether it's mass immigration that's coming from Africa and the Middle East for whatever reason that's flooding Europe, or whether there are 8 million people basically in 12 years, pretty much. | ||
| 12 years, 8 million people fleeing a country. | ||
| How many people live in Venezuela? | ||
| Can we a total population of Venezuela? | ||
| I mean, that's a ridiculously high percentage of people to have to flee that country. | ||
| We're a country of 350 million people. | ||
| Imagine if 8 million people left. | ||
| Like, that's not that significant, but it's an awful lot of people. | ||
| How many people? | ||
| 28 million right now. | ||
| So 28 million people right now live in Venezuela, and 8 million people have fled in the last 11 or 12 years. | ||
| That's an extraordinary amount of human capital and just literal bodies that are leaving your country. | ||
| And again, why are they leaving? | ||
| Like, oh my God, I just wanted to get the high hell out of here. | ||
| Everything's great here, but I really want to test it in America. | ||
| No, you're leaving because it's shitty. | ||
| You're leaving because they are confiscating your stuff. | ||
| You're leaving because you are fleeing an overarching government, one that we're installing in New York City right now. | ||
| More on that in a minute. | ||
| Here's one more from Rubio. | ||
| And I think we've got two more actually, again with Welker, talking about the ridiculous, and here he's, I think, pointing more. | ||
| You can read it both ways probably, but I think here he's pointing a little more to some of the critics on the right, the more libertarian critics on the right, who are claiming that this Venezuela situation is going to turn into some of the, let's say, misadventures we've had in the Middle East over the last couple of decades. | ||
| Number one, most of the experts that people have on television, I watch these experts, and it's clown hour. | ||
| Okay, these are people that have focused their entire career on the Middle East or some other part of the world because that's where all the action was. | ||
| They, very few of them, know anything about Venezuela or the Western hemisphere. | ||
| Venezuela looks nothing like Libya. | ||
| It looks nothing like Iraq. | ||
| It looks nothing like Afghanistan. | ||
| It looks nothing like the Middle East other than the Iranian agents that are running through there plotting against America. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| These are Western countries with long traditions among their people-to-people and cultural level and ties to the United States. | ||
| So there's nothing like that. | ||
| So I think people need to stop ascribing the apples and oranges here, the apples of the Middle East to the oranges of the Western Hemisphere. | ||
| Okay, so there he's definitely pointing to that libertarian thread. | ||
| This is where I would say like the Tucker types are, which is that America should not do anything and everything will always become a disaster and we shouldn't export American values. | ||
| Doesn't mean you bomb the shit out of people to force them to live like you. | ||
| But there are, I believe, there are good things that America as the last remaining superpower and the last giant powerful nation that can export anything good in the world can do when appropriate. | ||
| And in this case, how did we do it? | ||
| Well, we did it in less than seven minutes. | ||
| And now we're going to have to see, will they be able to build institutions properly? | ||
| How can we help? | ||
| He just also talked about Iranian agents that we know have been on the ground in Venezuela. | ||
| And there's all sorts of crazy things going on. | ||
| When you're a country that's exporting that many drugs, do you think there's some shady shit going on? | ||
| What's that show on Netflix with what was that show? | ||
| The Ozarks. | ||
| It was called Ozark. | ||
| Yeah, it's called Ozark. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| Like, there's going to be some, it was a good title for the show. | ||
| There's going to be some weird stuff going down. | ||
| So there's a, so what you get right now with the horseshoe is you're going to get the sort of pure libertarian, we should never do anything anywhere in the world ever. | ||
| And I can understand it sort of philosophically, like just focus here, but it is a global world, whether we like it or not. | ||
| And also it's like, well, we cannot do anything, but if they're shipping drugs to us, it is a bit of a problem. | ||
| But that's sort of a version of it on the right, like the pure libertarian isolationist right. | ||
| And then there's a version of it on the left, which fundamentally believes, and I would say this is almost the entire Democrat Party now, or at least all of the progressive wing of it, which is that American values are not good. | ||
| So anything we do anywhere is inherently evil. | ||
| But Rubio, the broader point of what he's pointing out there is to think that us going into Iraq 20 plus years ago, which by the way, the UN sanctioned and it was a giant coalition and all of that stuff, even though we were lied into it. | ||
| And okay, let's not rehash that. | ||
| But that Venezuela is anything like going into Afghanistan or Iraq or any of these other countries is completely ridiculous. | ||
| Also, when we went into Iraq, let's say, we didn't just run in the first time, even before the last invasion, when we went into Desert Storm and what was that? | ||
| Desert Storm was probably around 92. | ||
| What year was Desert Storm? | ||
| I think around 92. | ||
| It's like we didn't get Saddam Hussein in seven minutes, right? | ||
| These were protracted things. | ||
| We fundamentally altered things. | ||
| What year? | ||
| 91. | ||
| All right, not bad. | ||
| Here's one more from Rubio talking to Margaret Brennan. | ||
| So this is a different interview. | ||
| And she wants to know why we didn't just get everybody in those seven minutes. | ||
| It's seven minutes. | ||
| Why didn't you just grab freaking everybody? | ||
| I'm confused. | ||
| Are they still wanted by the United States? | ||
| Why didn't you arrest them if you are taking out the narco-terrorist regime? | ||
| You're confused. | ||
| I don't know why that's confusing to you. | ||
| They're still in trouble. | ||
| You're not going to go in and wrap up. | ||
| But yeah, but you're going to go in and suck up five people. | ||
| They're already complaining about this one operation. | ||
| Imagine the howls we would have from everybody else if we actually had to go and stay there four days to capture four other people. | ||
| We got the top priority. | ||
| The number one person on the list was the guy who claimed to be the president of the country that he was not. | ||
| And he was arrested along with his wife, who was also indicted. | ||
| And that was a pretty sophisticated and frankly complicated operation. | ||
| It is not easy to land helicopters in the middle of the largest military base in the country. | ||
| The guy lived on a military base. | ||
| Land within three minutes, kick down his door, grab him, put him in handcuffs, read him his rights, put him in a helicopter, and leave the country without losing any American or any American assets. | ||
| That's not an easy mission. | ||
| And you're asking me why didn't we do that in five other places at the same time? | ||
| I mean, that's absurd. | ||
| It's just, it's just right. | ||
| Again, I'm telling you, the guy was just built for this free job. | ||
| And the beauty of it with Marco Rubio, I think I've mentioned this once or twice before. | ||
| Obviously, he's my senator here, or was my senator here in Florida. | ||
| He lives not too far from me. | ||
| I've been to events with him and seen him and I opened for him at some stuff. | ||
| And, you know, there was a time a couple of years ago when he was still a senator that I think he was kind of burned out. | ||
| You know, he had been a senator for a long time. | ||
| He had that very tough election, primary election against Trump. | ||
| I think he was just like, you know, I'm just going to ride it out. | ||
| And he's just reinvigorated right now. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| Like, it's just like, lady, lady, what are you saying? | ||
| We went in there. | ||
| The guy lives on a military base. | ||
| Nobody got killed. | ||
| We grab him. | ||
| The whole thing's wrapped up in less than the time the queer guy came out in Stranger Things. | ||
| Okay, I'm sorry we didn't get everybody at once. | ||
| Like, give it a chance. | ||
| And it's also, you know, I'm always talking about the signal, guys, right? | ||
| You blow up a couple of the drug boats and then the signal is sent out. | ||
| So less people come with drug boats. | ||
| How do you think all of those other guys that Margaret Brennan's talking about right there? | ||
| What do you think they're thinking today? | ||
| Like think how quickly we just went in, grabbed Maduro, the whole thing in and out, precision. | ||
| The people are rising up right now. | ||
| You think some of those guys are getting the signal and they're like, oh, gee, boss, I'm a little less inclined to be fighting for communism today. | ||
| Like, it's just obvious. | ||
| Elon Musk, who, you know, you can't really explain the level of his importance on Earth and interplanetarily at this point. | ||
| Here he is saying, I support this 100%. | ||
| And this was great. | ||
| This was probably the most viral image of the weekend. | ||
| Antonio Garcia Martinez on X put up this picture for those of you listening on the audio podcast. | ||
| It's a great picture. | ||
| I think this is from about four months ago, one of the Zelensky-Trump meetings, right? | ||
| This was when Trump and JD ganged up on Zelensky. | ||
| And there you have Rubio sitting, I think it's in the Oval Office, and he's just kind of sitting uncomfortably. | ||
| He doesn't look happy, whatever. | ||
| It's just a moment that they captured there. | ||
| But the caption is perfect. | ||
| Rubio realizing he's going to be president of Venezuela, governor of Cuba, and Shah of Iran. | ||
| Yeah, that's where we're at right now. | ||
| Of course, it's a joke, but the point is we are doing things. | ||
| We're not even going to cover it in today's show, but the other thing that's breaking over the weekend, and we'll definitely get to it tomorrow, is there are massive uprisings against the Ayatollah and the mullahs happening in Iran right now. | ||
| Like people are waking up all over the world. | ||
| And if America, we don't have to blow everything up to make good things happen, but if we can push when necessary, if we can do strategic, coordinated, quick, in-and-out precision strikes to get rid of bad guys and then encourage people to kind of get on board the goodness. | ||
| What did I say a million times last year? | ||
| Trump's best speech was, I think it was in February of 2025 when he went to Saudi Arabia and said, just get on board, guys. | ||
| Put away some ancient hatreds and some of these bad ideas and America will lead an incredibly prosperous path to the future. | ||
| That's kind of where we're at right now as we roll into our 250th anniversary. | ||
| We will have more on what's going on in South America in just a second. | ||
| But first, Wild Alaskan. | ||
| When was the last time you truly trusted the seafood you brought home? | ||

| That's wildalaskan.com slash Rubin for $35 off your first order. | ||
| Okay, so let's talk a little bit more about South America and sort of the change, I would say a massive sea change in American foreign policy. | ||
| You may remember, was it about a month and a half ago, we talked a little bit about the Monroe Doctrine on the show. | ||
| Well, on December 2nd, 2025, so just over a month ago, the White House put this up. | ||
| I want to read the whole thing to you. | ||
| It's quite interesting. | ||
| So now remember, this is on December 2nd, 2025 is when they put it up. | ||
| But listen to this. | ||
| On December 2nd, 1823, the doctrine of American sovereignty was immortalized in prose when President James Monroe declared before the nation a simple truth that has echoed throughout the ages. | ||
| The United States will never waver in defense of our homeland, our interests, or the well-being of our citizens. | ||
| Today, my administration proudly reaffirms this promise under a new Trump corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, that the American people, not foreign nations nor globalist institutions, will always control their own destiny in our hemisphere. | ||
| More than two centuries ago, President Monroe proclaimed before the United States Congress what is today known as the legendary Monroe Doctrine, a bold policy that rejects foreign interference of faraway nations and confidently asserts the United States leadership in the Western Hemisphere. | ||
| The American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintained, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers, President Monroe professed. | ||
| With those mighty words, every nation knew that the United States of America was emerging as a superpower unlike anything the world had ever known. | ||
| And nothing could ever rival the strength, unity, and resolve of a freedom-loving people. | ||
| In the centuries since, President Monroe's doctrine of sovereignty has guarded the American continents against communism, fascism, and foreign infringement. | ||
| And as the 47th president of the United States, I am proudly reasserting this time-honored policy. | ||
| Since I took office, I have aggressively pursued an America-first policy of peace through strength. | ||
| We restored U.S. privileged access through the Panama Canal. | ||
| We are reestablishing American maritime dominance. | ||
| We are disrupting non-market practices in the international supply chain and logistics sectors. | ||
| My administration is also halting the flow of deadly drugs flowing through Mexico, ending the invasion of illegal aliens along our southern border and dismantling narco-terrorist networks all across the Western Hemisphere. | ||
| To defend our nation's workers and industries, I recently secured historic trade deals with El Salvador, Argentina, Ecuador, and Guatemala, allowing greater and more streamlined market access. | ||
| Reinvigorated by my Trump corollary, the Monroe Doctrine is alive and well, and American leadership is coming roaring back stronger than ever before. | ||
| Today, we renew our pledge to always uphold American sovereignty, security, and safety first. | ||
| Above all, we vow to protect our cherished national legacy of Republican self-government against all threats, foreign and domestic. | ||
| Guys, Trump put that up a little over a month ago. | ||
| And it's interesting because he repeatedly says Western Hemisphere. | ||
| And guess where Venezuela is? | ||
| Western hemisphere. | ||
| Guess where Iran and China are? | ||
| Yeah, not Western hemisphere, but they've been making moves on that country and that oil. | ||
| And their communist leader was playing footsie with those guys. | ||
| And you heard it right before, Marco Rubio talking about Iranian agents on the ground in Iran. | ||
| And here's Trump saying, America first doesn't mean pure isolation. | ||
| It means that we will defend American values particularly in the part of the world, the Western Hemisphere, which we live. | ||
| And if bad guys are going to come over into other countries in our neck of the woods, we're going to do something about it the same way that you live in a house. | ||
| And it's not a house in a vacuum, right? | ||
| Like there are neighbors and you want your neighbors to hopefully share some values with you. | ||
| They don't have to think exactly like you are or believe exactly the same things. | ||
| But if you basically share values together, your neighborhood will be safe and you'll say hello to each other. | ||
| And when the shit hits the fan, you'll know that they're not going to turn on you and everything else. | ||
| Like that, that is what we are encouraging right now. | ||
| It is completely consistent with the Monroe Doctrine, but as they call it, the Trump corollary is that we are going to reassert ourselves. | ||
| I thought this was quite interesting. | ||
| This is an image of South America's ideological map after the fall of Maduro's narco-dictatorship. | ||
| So red is the political left, obviously, in Brazil, not only is the big one, literally, in terms of the size of the country, but I would say in terms of like leftist thought and corruption and everything else. | ||
| And of course, Colombia. | ||
| So you're getting two major drug exporters that are on the left, you know, really run by sort of gangish cartel types. | ||
| And on the right right now, well, if you think of American influence in Venezuela, well, we've got Venezuela, we've got Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, obviously Argentina, which is the gem in everything right now, thanks to Malay, and even Chile. | ||
| Five years ago, this wasn't the case for Chile, Argentina, or Venezuela. | ||
| They were all very lefty communist nations. | ||
| So freedom is spreading. | ||
| And it's not just spreading because we're running in and blowing everybody up and killing everybody. | ||
| We're exerting American influence again. | ||
| And that then, because we still are the gem of the world. | ||
| Then good people in these countries start standing up. | ||
| Again, it's happening on the streets of Iran right now. | ||
| Now, interestingly, so we pull this thing off in under seven minutes, right? | ||
| We'll see what happens to the future of Venezuela. | ||
| But we pulled off something remarkable. | ||
| Here is Donald Trump subsequently saying, well, Colombia, you may want to look out. | ||
| And Cuba, you may want to look behind you. | ||
| And also, Greenland, we're interested in you. | ||
| Take a look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So Colombian President Gustavo Petro, you know, a couple weeks ago, he said he's got to watch his ass. | |
| And today he said he's not concerned about anything happening to him in the aftermath of this operation. | ||
| So just what your message is. | ||
| Well, he has cocaine mills. | ||
| He has factories where he makes cocaine. | ||
| And yeah, I think I stick by my first statement. | ||
| He's making cocaine. | ||
| They're sending it into the United States. | ||
| So he does have to watch his ass. | ||
| Cuba is ready to fall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Cuba looks like it's ready to fall. | ||
| I don't know if they're going to hold that. | ||
| But Cuba now has no income. | ||
| They got all of their income from Venezuela. | ||
| We need Greenland for national security. | ||
| Okay, so you can see something different happening here with America. | ||
| Like, you know, whether it's Biden or the AutoPennett at all, it just seems silly to talk about it. | ||
| It's like, who knows what the flying F was going on for those four years? | ||
| What was happening and the open borders and the lack of American influence, and allies didn't know if they could trust us. | ||
| And you could go back to Obama even before that, and red lines, and all of these things. | ||
| But America's exerting influence again. | ||
| Now, it doesn't mean that everything is going to work out perfectly, but we're not doing it. | ||
| You know, there seems to be always this fear with that sort of neo-isolationist libertarian crew, the Tucker crew, that the neocons were going to go into these countries and we're going to just endless wars and everything else. | ||
| But we're actually doing the reverse of that. | ||
| Look what happened with the Iran war back in, what was that, back in June, July. | ||
| It was like Israel did it for 12 days and then we went in for an hour, dropped some bombs, and that was it. | ||
| And now the regime is teetering, right? | ||
| Like the good people who want to be free, like they were in the 70s before the mullahs, they are rising up right now in Venezuela. | ||
| The hope here is that we can give Venezuelans, Venezuela back to the Venezuelans, right? | ||
| Why did 8 million people, as Marco Rubio said, flee in 12 years? | ||
| It was because they were fleeing. | ||
| They were fleeing terrible things. | ||
| They were fleeing authoritarian control over their lives. | ||
| But what got us to where we are at at the moment? | ||
| Well, it was the drug boats, right? | ||
| Like that was the first, that was the first thing that was happening here, that there was this endless onslaught of drug boats. | ||
| It was happening for years under Biden. | ||
| Nobody did anything about it. | ||
| It was probably encouraged. | ||
| Trump started blowing up a couple of drug boats. | ||
| And I thought in some sense, this is a non-sequitur, but I think you'll see the point. | ||
| Now that the drug boats are being blown up and the signal has been sent and we have closed the border, well, guess what? | ||
| Deaths by overdoses are dropping significantly. | ||
| Here's a little-known podcaster, Joe Rogan, talking about that. | ||
| From the time Trump's been in office, deaths by overdose have dropped off a cliff. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Look at 2024 and leading into 2025. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| These are all deaths from overdoses. | ||
| I mean, that's kind of crazy. | ||
| Like, look at that. | ||
| From all drugs, which is the top one, look at that drop. | ||
| I mean, that's crazy. | ||
| So you see the peak was in 2022, or it looks like actually 2023, between 2023 and 2024. | ||
| That's the peak where people are dying. | ||
| And then from the time Trump's in office, it's taking a sharp downturn. | ||
| And why is that? | ||
| Well, part of it is because they're blowing up these boats that are bringing in all the drugs. | ||
| Yeah, you don't have to be a political scientist to figure it out. | ||
| So when did this all peak? | ||
| I'm shocked that the drug overdose situation peaked in 23-24 as Joe Biden had let all of these people in. | ||
| And now, from the graphs, again, for those of you on the audio podcast, what you're seeing there is just a massive drop off. | ||
| That starts basically at the beginning of last year. | ||
| And who took the oath of office about a year ago right now? | ||
| Yes, it was Donald Trump. | ||
| But it also further exposes the ridiculousness of the conventional politicians. | ||
| They say things that usually sound good. | ||
| I mean, what do I always say about progressives in general? | ||
| Like they sound nice, but when you peel away that thin veneer of nicest, what you get underneath is something very nasty. | ||
| I would add to that, it's either something nasty or something that's just utterly meaningless. | ||
| So look at this. | ||
| This is a tweet from Joe Biden in June of 2020. | ||
| Now, obviously, Joe Biden did not write this, but this was the messaging of the administration in 2020. | ||
| Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro. | ||
| As president, I will stand with the Venezuelan people and for democracy. | ||
| Just leave that up for just a moment. | ||
| So Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but likes Maduro. | ||
| Well, Maduro's in jail right now, and he's got the glaucoma glasses on. | ||
| And Joe Biden, now you can come back to me, Joe Biden, what did you do for the people of Venezuela? | ||
| Why is it that my housekeeper, who is a refugee from who seeked asylum here in the great country of the United States of America, said to me with tears in her eyes, thank God for Donald Trump this morning. | ||
| What did Donald Trump do that you didn't do? | ||
| You didn't do jack shit. | ||
| So not only did you leave the people of Venezuela to be bartered with by their communist leader and just have nothing, right? | ||
| Have their goods and services taken from them and everything else to live under a communist dictatorship, but you also didn't care. | ||
| You didn't care that tons of drugs were being brought into America and killing Americans. | ||
| Another guy who did not care and does not care, but who's a little upset today because one of his communist buddies was just taken out is Bernie Sanders. | ||
| And Bernie Sanders put up this rather lengthy, I'm not going to read it to you. | ||
| I'm not in the mood to start the year by doing my Bernie Sanders impression, but it's a rather lengthy statement. | ||
| I'll just read you the first sentence. | ||
| I will do it in Bernie Boys. | ||
| Donald Trump has once again shown his contempt for the Constitution and rule of law. | ||
| So, okay, then he continues, blah, We're not going to get into all that, but what's he really upset by? | ||
| He's upset that a communist, because that's what he is. | ||
| So a communist being taken out there is bad for the communists right here. | ||
| The official GOP account, they saw that rather lengthy post by Bernie and they put up this. | ||
| I ain't reading all that. | ||
| I'm happy for you, though, or sorry that that happened. | ||
| So the Democrats don't know what to do with this because fundamentally, you know, I'm always talking about Trump and the 80-20 thing. | ||
| He just fundamentally gets what is right. | ||
| And people know communists are the bad guys. | ||
| And people know that young people dying from drug overdoses is bad. | ||
| And people know that having a border that is open is bad. | ||
| And Trump just gets this and gets this and gets this. | ||
| And the Democrats always, whether it's defending a rapist, whether it's defending a human trafficker, whether it's defending Hamas, like whatever it is with the Democrats, they always defend the bad guys and never defend the good guys. | ||
| RoCana, the only Democrat who will talk to me, but he's not great. | ||
| He's not. | ||
| Sorry, Roe. | ||
| He put this up on Twitter. | ||
| The silence from many media-hyped 2028 contenders today is shocking. | ||
| If you cannot oppose this regime change war for oil, you don't have the moral clarity or guts to lead our party or nation. | ||
| Roe's obviously trying to run for president here. | ||
| I don't know what he's saying. | ||
| The sounds from many media-hyped 28 contenders. | ||
| Are you talking about on the Democrat side? | ||
| I'm not really sure what you're saying there. | ||
| But regime change war for oil. | ||
| Well, we already played several clips of Rubio laying out and Trump talking about the new Trump corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, where we're going to take care of business in our hemisphere. | ||
| Do we need the oil? | ||
| Are we going to steal the oil from the nation? | ||
| I don't think so, actually. | ||
| I think what we're going to do is over time, there's going to be a more friendly American administration there that will be better for the people of Venezuela. | ||
| And then maybe there'll be things that will be done with the oil. | ||
| But they want, that is, you could read that tweet and say, is that coming from Tucker on the right or is that coming from Rokana on the left? | ||
| And that is the horseshoe theory. | ||
| I thought this was also good. | ||
| This is from the MAGA King, an ex-commentator. | ||
| It must be exhausting being a liberal. | ||
| One day you're defending Somali daycare fraudsters. | ||
| The next day you're defending narco-terrorist communist dictator. | ||
| And it's all driven by one thing, their hatred of Donald Trump, right? | ||
| And you can do this with a million other things, that they're always defending the bad guys, never going after the good guys. | ||
| And to continue with that theory, this is another guy, Matt Van Swall, ex-commentator. | ||
| He wrote, so let me get this straight. | ||
| Nine months ago, we had the Ukrainian flags. | ||
| Eight months ago, Palestinian flags. | ||
| Seven months ago, Mexican flags, six months ago, Iranian flags, now Venezuelan flags. | ||
| What is happening? | ||
| Do liberals actually stand for every country but the United States? | ||
| This is where I would say, and I hate having to do it. | ||
| This is the fundamental difference between leftist and liberal. | ||
| These people are not liberal. | ||
| They're actually anti-liberal and they hate liberalism. | ||
| Liberalism, real liberalism, is rooted in freedom. | ||
| These are progressives. | ||
| These are leftists. | ||
| But I get that the word liberal has been mucked up. | ||
| I have tried to clean it up. | ||
| I think I will be probably awarded something one day, perhaps for that. | ||
| Now, of course, when you get these mobs, and they're out there, they're out there again. | ||
| They've got the Venezuela flags. | ||
| There's always some Hamas flags and the rest of it. | ||
| They're taking over the streets again. | ||
| And we know that this is paid for and coordinated. | ||
| We'll have more on that tomorrow. | ||
| A ton of it is Chinese money. | ||
| And that's why they all have the same placards in different cities. | ||
| And it didn't just magically appear out of nowhere. | ||
| It is planned and paid for. | ||
| And then they take over our streets. | ||
| However, I thought this would be nice to throw back to it. | ||
| If you freaks try to do that in Florida, we will drive our cars through you. | ||
| And we also have a policy that if you're driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety. | ||
| And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that's their fault for impinging on you. | ||
| You don't have to sit there and just be a sitting duck and let the mob grab you out of your car and drag you through the streets. | ||
| You have a right to defend yourself in Florida. | ||
| So look, the reason I wanted to show you that is that as if this Venezuela situation gets escalated, like if the left views this as its new thing, right? | ||
| Like the Gaza war is wrapping up. | ||
| They're never going to let that thing go. | ||
| But if they can't get, if they can't gin up people around that anymore and they don't have BLM anymore, and now Iran, they're not going to be happy with Iran because Iran could be falling and they're on the side of the mullahs. | ||
| I mean, it's so crazy. | ||
| If this is just the new thing to get people out in the streets, and again, it's paid for and everything else, they are going to be out of the streets. | ||
| And it is important to know if you live in a city that is allowing this, well, then you're hostage to them, whether you own a business or you're trying to get grandma out of the hospital or you just want to take your freaking kid or dog for a walk. | ||
| You are at the mercy of the mob. | ||
| Here in Florida, you are not. | ||
| Now, I've referenced it a couple of times so far on the show today, but I want to talk about that horseshoe theory of politics. | ||
| That most of us, most of America, and that is why the Rubin Report is a show for normal people. | ||
| I think 80 to here, you can put it there again. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| We are a show for normal people. | ||
| That's all. | ||
| Not that much. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Not trying to do anything great here. | ||
| Just give a show for normal people. | ||
| If 80% of Americans are just kind of normal and decent and live and live and like America and are psyched about 250 years of this country and we like our history and all of those things, what you have on the right and left are the fringes. | ||
| And on the fringes, what happens is they end up actually becoming the same. | ||
| So I want to show you a perfect example of the horseshoe theory that brings all of the worst people to the same political conclusions. | ||
| This was first put up by Avi Yemeni, who I've had on the show. | ||
| He's a great Australian podcaster and actual journalist from Rebel News. | ||
| He wrote, Candace Owens and Jank Uger both blaming Israel for Trump's extraordinary operation in Venezuela. | ||
| It is no longer a theory, horseshoe fact. | ||
| The far left and kooky right are derangedly obsessed with the only Jewish state. | ||
| And allow me to read you these two things. | ||
| And I should note, you know, I said at the top of the show, the ecosystem, the creator ecosystem has just become toxic. | ||
| You know, Candace, I barely ever talk about her. | ||
| People always want me to comment about her and they ask me about her all the time. | ||
| And I did have something to do with her rise. | ||
| And I am the person that introduced her to Charlie. | ||
| I cannot believe it. | ||
| They literally, he gave her the job right there. | ||
| I was standing right there when this all began and I will have to answer for it one day, I suppose. | ||
| But she's completely gone off the deep end. | ||
| And anyone defending her as it relates to who killed Charlie or Macron's wife's a man or any of this stuff, it's just absurd. | ||
| I don't want to waste my time or energy on it. | ||
| She is a time demon who is just trying to steal time to make money off conspiracy lunacy. | ||
| But anyway, she wrote this. | ||
| Venezuela has been liberated like Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq were liberated. | ||
| The CIA has staged another hostile takeover of a country at the behest of globalist psychopaths. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's what's happening always everywhere. | ||
| Zionists cheer every time, cheer every regime change. | ||
| There has never been a single regime change that Zionists have not applauded because it means they get to steal land, oil, and other resources. | ||
| To be clear, I mean, I get it. | ||
| She just uses Zionist as just like this meaningless term. | ||
| Zionist just means someone who thinks Israel should exist. | ||
| So if you read it as that, someone who thinks Israel should exist, it's just patently. | ||
| What does this have to do with Israel? | ||
| Absolutely nothing else. | ||
| But Israel for these people has become, you know, you walk into an office building and there's a fire station there and it says break in case of emergency and it's fire retardant. | ||
| That's what Israel is for all of these crazy people. | ||
| If you don't know what's going on in the world or you don't like what's happening, you got Israel. | ||
| At the end of the day, Donald Trump twists his ankle, it's going to be Israel. | ||
| We go into Venezuela, it's going to be Israel. | ||
| Oh, your coffee was too hot at Starbucks and you burnt your tongue. | ||
| It was the Zionists. | ||
| So, okay, that's Candace. | ||
| That's crazy Candace on the right saying that. | ||
| And that's, by the way, she's exact, she's doing exactly, exactly what Marco Rubio pointed out in that earlier clip when he's saying these things have nothing to do with each other. | ||
| What do you think sectarian warfare in Syria run by jihadists has anything to do with Venezuela? | ||
| They have nothing to do with each other. | ||
| But that's her on the right. | ||
| And here's my former boss again. | ||
| How the hell, cosmically, what did I do? | ||
| Jank uglier. | ||
| I agree with Steve Bannon that Trump is acting like Hillary Clinton at his neocon peak, bombing all over the planet, Nigeria, Somalia, Venezuela, and going back into Iran for regime changes, completely neocon establishment behavior. | ||
| Why do we have to fight all of Israel's wars? | ||
| Again, this has literally nothing to do with Israel. | ||
| What does Somalia and Nigeria and Venezuela have to do with Israel? | ||
| But that's at the end, at the end of every retarded conspiracy brainworm, moron's line of thinking. | ||
| It's the Jews. | ||
| It's the Jews. | ||
| Now, the other part of the ecosystem that became just insanely toxic over the last, it peaked in December, and I would say it really peaked at Turning Point USA, which was very sad because, you know, it was only three months. | ||
| Turning point had their big America first thing right before Christmas. | ||
| And it was only three months after Charlie was assassinated. | ||
| And, you know, people think, my estimation at this point is that I don't know how anyone could give money to Turning Point. | ||
| That's not an attack on anything that Charlie believed in or the turning point that Charlie created. | ||
| Right now, it doesn't know what it is. | ||
| It doesn't know what it is. | ||
| And they had this three-day conference where people were fighting and attacking people. | ||
| And Steve Bannon was calling Ben Shapiro a parasite. | ||
| It was just absolutely awful. | ||
| One of the people who I think has become maybe the worst, genuinely maybe the worst. | ||
| Candace is fucking bananas. | ||
| Tucker, it is what it is with him. | ||
| But maybe the worst in all of this is Megan Kelly. | ||
| And that is deeply disappointing for me to say. | ||
| And I tried not to even really talk about it at the end of the year. | ||
| But the reason she has become so bad is because she is clearly going whichever way the wind blows. | ||
| And to me, if you are in this creator ecosystem, if you're in this alt media and we're supposed to be so good and the mainstream media is supposed to be so bad, then we're supposed to tell the truth as we see it when we see it. | ||
| And we're not supposed to wait. | ||
| And we're not supposed to say, oh, are these Groypers and whatever's going on with the Tucker Candace group? | ||
| Oh, there's a lot of clicks over there. | ||
| I'm going to follow that. | ||
| No, you should follow what the truth actually is. | ||
| And anyway, Megan Kelly was on tour. | ||
| We played a couple clips of her tour, mostly in November, and she had Ben Shapiro on, and they were talking about Nicolas Maduro as it relates to some of Tucker's going off the deep end ideas lately. | ||
| And I thought this was worth re-upping. | ||
| Two, saying last week that the Venezuelan regime of Nicolas Maduro is actually not that bad because they're being attacked by, in his words, a globo homo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Tucker's made the point. | |
| I'm not going to hear to be Tucker's defender, but he's made the point that Maduro is culturally conservative. | ||
| Who gives a sh ⁇ ? | ||
| The guy's a communist dictator. | ||
| Everyone in his country is eating dog. | ||
| He's shipping fentanyl to the United States to kill Americans. | ||
| I don't give a shit whether he's whether he's anti-LGBTQ rights. | ||
| This is the number one thing about Nicolas Maduro. | ||
| You know how far down the list you have to get before you can get to anything remotely recommendable about Nicolas Maduro? | ||
| Ben, that is just so damn good, as I said when we played it last time. | ||
| To go in, you know, that's Megan's crowd, Megan's show, and they're applauding Ben for calling out bullshit. | ||
| And then, you know, for Megan to sit there and I'm not Tucker's lawyer. | ||
| Well, you act like Tucker's lawyer and you never criticize Tucker, but you'll criticize Ben and you'll criticize me and everybody else. | ||
| I don't even care about this interpersonal nonsense. | ||
| But the point there, the broad point there is, also, Megan, if you're really into, I don't want to defend Tucker, but Tucker's really into his conservative stances. | ||
| Well, all right, so Globo Homo. | ||
| Yes, the reason Donald Trump got rid of Nicolas Maduro, he did it for Globo Homo. | ||
| Megan, I'm pretty sure you are for gay marriage. | ||
| Like, are you for all these things too? | ||
| Like, but she'll go whichever way. | ||
| If there are clicks that come in, Megan will go there. | ||
| Grandma Groyper, that's what they're calling her online. | ||
| But speaking of the horseshoe theory, right? | ||
| So we've got the crazies on the right aligning with the crazies on the left. | ||
| One of the most obvious crazies on the left. | ||
| And it's really like, you know, when I talk about KFABE, that we're all in this like stage reality. | ||
| The fact that at the very same time as we're going to Venezuela to take out the communist dictator there, what's happening in America? | ||
| Well, Zorhan Momdami, that's right, Moron Zamboni, is being sworn in as the mayor of New York City, the once greatest city on the face of the earth, is now being run by a communist slash jihadist. | ||
| That is my personal belief, and I think it will be borne out to be true. | ||
| Well, Mamdami had this to say, because again, what do the progressives do? | ||
| They always defend the bad guys. | ||
| He had this to say about what happened in Venezuela. | ||
| I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City. | ||
| Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law. | ||
| There he is with international law again. | ||
| This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn't just afford those abroad. | ||
| It directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. | ||
| My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue every relevant guidance. | ||
| Douche nozzle. | ||
| The reason those Venezuelans live in New York is because they were fleeing Maduro and fleeing communism. | ||
| Ask them. | ||
| There is plenty of video of them celebrating it, but you don't like it when a sovereign nation is attacked, although you love when Israel is attacked, but that's a separate issue altogether because you don't even want it to be a sovereign nation. | ||
| But okay, let's put that aside for a second. | ||
| But what is he doing? | ||
| Well, he's quaking in his boots a little bit. | ||
| The guy got sworn in on the Koran. | ||
| We'll have more on that in a second as well. | ||
| He got sworn in, and within moments of him being sworn in, we took out one of his big allies, a communist ally in another country. | ||
| Might make him worried because he's trying to do the exact same shit in New York City. | ||
| We'll have more on that in a second. | ||
| The First Tax Network USA. | ||
| Do you owe back taxes or haven't even filed in years? | ||
| Now's the time to resolve your tax issues. | ||

| Don't let the IRS be the first to act. | ||
| All right, so the communist who is now in charge of New York City, sworn in just a couple days ago, he's very angry at Maduro's arrest. | ||
| And again, he's upset because it violates international law. | ||
| I was briefed by my first deputy mayor, my chief of staff, my chief counsel, the police commissioner, as well as other members of my team. | ||
| I called the president and spoke with him directly to register my opposition to this act and to make clear that it was an opposition based on being opposed to a pursuit of regime change. | ||
| There are tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call the city home. | ||
| Their safety is critically important to me, as is the safety of each and every New Yorker. | ||
| And my job is to deliver. | ||
| Again, buddy, if their safety is important to you, why don't you think about why they live in your city in the first place? | ||
| I love how he's like, and I was briefed on this by my chief of staff and my brother. | ||
| It's like, okay, Zippity, yeah, you have a job. | ||
| Somebody in your administration told you what's happening in the news. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| Like, he's trying to make it seem like this is like he's so important that the Trump people called him to brief him on what's going on. | ||
| It had nothing to do with the administration. | ||
| My chief, my assistant told me she showed me a tweet and I diggity damn. | ||
| We can only hope that, and I, well, it's this AI, I don't know. | ||
| We can only hope that this is a coming. | ||
| Yeah, there you go. | ||
| That's, I think it's AI, but that could be next. | ||
| Because yes, this guy is a communist. | ||
| And he was sworn in a few days ago. | ||
| There were a couple clips of his speech that went viral. | ||
| The major one was this. | ||
| This was him full-on, just right out of like the communist manifesto, admitting to what he is. | ||
| Math all. | ||
| Long, these communities have existed as distinct from one another. | ||
| We will draw this city closer together. | ||
| We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism. | ||
| If our campaign demonstrated that the people of New York yearn for solidarity, then let this government foster it. | ||
| Because no matter what you eat, how you pray, or where you come from, the words that most define us are the two we all share: New Yorkers. | ||
| Everyone you saw in that crowd was an idiot. | ||
| Rugged individualism is what built this country. | ||
| People on the pursuit of happiness based in individual rights, which does not discriminate. | ||
| That's what this country is all about. | ||
| Go out, get yours, settle the West, figure out where you can go and how you can live and be in a community with people that are like-minded so that you can do incredible things and build a family and build businesses and all that. | ||
| That's what individualism does. | ||
| You want collectivism. | ||
| You want us all to be whittled down to our most important, our least important traits so that we can all be automatons in your system. | ||
| It is evil and awful. | ||
| And speaking of evil and awful, he also swore in on a Quran. | ||
| Lastly, and maybe most importantly, I Zaran Kwame Mamdani, I, Zaran, Kwame Mamdani, do solemnly swear, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States, that I will support the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the state of New York, the Constitution of the State of New York, and the Charter of the City of New York, | ||
| and the Charter of the City of New York, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of the mayor of the city of New York. | ||
| Okay, we just stopped it earlier. | ||
| I can't even listen to it and watch him with his fake smile and everything. | ||
| Now, I want to talk about something as it relates to swearing in on the Quran. | ||
| Now, you know, most politicians swear in on the Bible. | ||
| And you could make an argument that what people should be swearing in on is the Constitution. | ||
| I actually think that that would be the healthiest thing. | ||
| Now, the Constitution of the United States was born out of the Bible, both the Old Testament and the New Testament. | ||
| That's what Judeo-Christian values are. | ||
| And that's where the roots of individuality and freedom come from, right? | ||
| The Old Testament basically is the story of bondage to freedom, right? | ||
| Slavery to freedom. | ||
| I don't even, I don't need to do a biblical history lesson right now, but I think you can make a completely probably extremely strong secular argument that anyone who is swearing to be a public official in the United States should swear on the thing that they are sworn to protect, which is the United States of America. | ||
| Now, the problem with swearing on the Quran specifically is that the ideas of the Quran, the Quran, Islam, which means to submit, are antithetical to American values, which is why everywhere in the 22 plus Islamic nations, it is not good for freedom. | ||
| It is not good for freedom. | ||
| Certainly, if you're a Christian or a Jew or a Druze or I mean, there's just nobody left basically in most of these countries. | ||
| Ask the Coptic Christians how it's going in Egypt and ask the Christians, the Lebanese Christians who used to be a majority, who are now a minority, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| You all know this. | ||
| So he's swearing on a holy book, his holy book, that is antithetical to the very ideals that he is purporting to protect. | ||
| I don't think we should allow that. | ||
| And if you want to make the argument that, okay, then nobody should swear on any Bible whatsoever, I think you have to make that argument too. | ||
| Have them all swear on the Constitution. | ||
| But he just swore on something that he puts above the Constitution of the United States. | ||
| And that is bad. | ||
| Speaking of bad, we've got a little more from Bernie. | ||
| He wants your money because I'm a good guy and I need more of your stuff. | ||
| Lastly, and maybe most importantly, demanding that the wealthy and large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes. | ||
| I like that lady, yeah. | ||
| Yes, I want more of your money. | ||
| Fair share. | ||
| What is fair share? | ||
| Rich people, the 1%, they pay over 50% of taxes. | ||
| If you're in the bottom percentage, you don't pay anything. | ||
| They just want more. | ||
| They want more for the government. | ||
| And if nothing, if we've all learned nothing in this last year after Doge and everything that's going on in Minnesota with the fraud and everything else, if you, okay, just even if you the best intentions, well, where do they lead you? | ||
| The road to hell, right? | ||
| It's like, okay, I just, I just want to do more for people. | ||
| How about go out there and do something, Bernie? | ||
| Go get a job, get a real job and do something. | ||
| Stop asking for everyone else's money. | ||
| And then it's just such easy class warfare. | ||
| Then they're all like, yes, I also want more of what other people have. | ||
| I'm a good guy. | ||
| And then, of course, what you're going to get with this, because he's a communist with a dash of jihad, is you're going to get an awful lot more of this. | ||
| Good luck, New York City. | ||
| Congratulations, New York. | ||
| It's all yours now. | ||
| You're gonna get the communism, you're gonna get the jihad, free suicide vests. | ||
| I heard that somewhere. | ||
| It's all coming. | ||
| Good luck with all of that. | ||
| By the way, we just checked some numbers here. | ||
| The top 1% in New York City pay 48% of the taxes. | ||
| So when Bernie gets up there and says the meaningless, the rich should pay their bills, they already pay the 1%. | ||
| If you're in 1%, it usually means you make about $400,000 a year. | ||
| That's an awful lot of money. | ||
| And almost everyone would wish they could make $400,000 a year. | ||
| But now $400,000 a year. | ||
| You've now chopped off, what, 36% with federal taxes. | ||
| Then there's about 10, 11%, maybe more in state taxes. | ||
| You have New York City taxes too. | ||
| So suddenly these people are down to what, $180,000. | ||
| And now you also have to live in New York City and you have a family and you got to send them to schools and everything else. | ||
| These are not incredibly wealthy people, actually. | ||
| And even if they were Bernie, even if they were billionaires with the B, because I know you don't bitch and moan about the millionaires with them anymore because you're one of them with your three houses, it doesn't give you a right to take more of their money. | ||
| So what would be the percentage? | ||
| They never will tell you. | ||
| What is the fair? | ||
| He always says the fair share. | ||
| Okay, 1% paying 48%. | ||
| That seems more than fair to me, right? | ||
| And I don't even live in New York City. | ||
| I don't have any skin in this game. | ||
| You idiots want to live there once these morons? | ||
| Like, gab at it. | ||
| But how did we end up in this situation? | ||
| I thought this would be a nice way to start the year. | ||
| It was one of my favorite videos of last year. | ||
| We ended up in this situation because the guy before this communist jihadist, Eric Adams, was just awful. | ||
| He turned it into a sanctuary city. | ||
| He did all of the bad stuff. | ||
| And then he ran again against Zorhan. | ||
| Nobody liked him. | ||
| So he dropped out. | ||
| Then they threw up Andrew Cuomo, who killed all the old people, old people, vote out. | ||
| It was just a complete shit show across the board. | ||
| But at least Eric Adams did this. | ||
| You can look in the jewelry box, a jewelry box of this nature, maybe a simple jury box, but if you look through it closely, you don't know what your child may be hiding. | ||
| For instance, a gun. | ||
| Look at picture frames and behind them. | ||
| Cameras. | ||
| Try to determine what's taking place. | ||
| Behind a picture frame, you can find bullets. | ||
| You should always, when your child brings in his popular knapsack with many different locations, look through it to see what exactly is your child carrying in addition to a book. | ||
| Something simple as a crackpipe. | ||
| Something simple as a baby doll. | ||
| Could be just a baby doll, but also it could be a place where you can secrete or hide drugs. | ||
| Run your hands over the pillows and see if you feel anything that's unusual. | ||
| Like a pillow like this with a button is a perfect invitation to hide something. | ||
| I've felt something bumpy. | ||
| I will reach in, see what it is. | ||
| Just look and see what's inside your bookcases. | ||
| It could be more than just books. | ||
| Perfect place to hide cocaine. | ||
| It just never gets old. | ||
| Why is that baby secreting drugs? | ||
| I want to know that. | ||
| Also, that's actually a seven-hour video. | ||
| We did the convinced version there. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| This is the new year. | ||
| And I should take advice from this guy. | ||
| Joey, Joseph, I'd like to see your bag, please. | ||
| This is the backpack that Joseph, my associate producer, brings in all the time. | ||
| And let's see what's going on in your back. | ||
| Creatine or could it be my God? | ||
| That's grade A cocaine. | ||
| Joseph, you're going to have to read this with me. | ||
| Plastic knives. | ||
| Good luck, New York. | ||

| All right, we're kicking off the new year with an extended program. | ||
| We're an hour and six minutes in, but we're not done yet because breaking as of this morning. | ||
| I mean, this is just great. | ||
| I'm telling you guys, everyone's, oh, bad things are going to happen. | ||
| We're going to get crushed in the middle. | ||
| I'm telling you, 2026 is going to be a baller year. | ||
| Good things are happening. | ||
| We got to focus on it. | ||
| We've got to push away the nutbags. | ||
| And speaking of nutbags, Tim Walz, who apparently ran for vice president under that, I was going to say the R word, but I'm not going to say it today. | ||
| That lady, he is not seeking re-election. | ||
| This just broke about a half hour before we started the show today. | ||
| Major breaking political news out of St. Paul, Minneapolis, Minnesota. | ||
| Tim Walz will not seek re-election as governor. | ||
| And what a fall from grace this has been for him. | ||
| You might recall in the spring of 2023, he pushed through several progressive ideas to the state legislature that caught the attention of Barack Obama, who went to Twitter to give his endorsement for the programs, which eventually caught the attention of people like Kamala Harris, who chosen to be his, her running mate as the vice president. | ||
| Introduced in Chicago at the convention in August of last year, a debate that was an absolute disaster with JD Vance at one point called himself a knucklehead. | ||
| But after reportedly billions of dollars have been stolen from taxpayers, by way of the state of Minnesota, Tim Walz says he will not seek a third term. | ||
| What a remarkable two years in the national spotlight has been for him, Dana. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Walls hit Trump. | |
| Yeah, guys, this is absolutely huge. | ||
| I mean, think about it. | ||
| Had the election gone the wrong way last year, Tim Walz would be vice president right now. | ||
| It doesn't go his way. | ||
| Then, thanks to Nick Shirley, independent journalist Nick Shirley, who we'll get to more in just a second, they fully break the dam on this insane Somali money laundering operation that's going through Tim Walz' government. | ||
| He has been caught. | ||
| Like the fact that he is not even going to run for governor, this guy's stepping away in shame and now is going to be in massive, massive legal trouble. | ||
| This is someone who was going to be a heartbeat away from being president of the United States. | ||
| Absolutely nuts. | ||
| There's a lot of videos we could show mocking Tim Walz, but here's one blaming the targeting of Somalis on white supremacy. | ||
| So this is what happens when your own federal government wages war against you. | ||
| This is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit. | ||
| This is what happens when they scapegoat. | ||
| And this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy when you hear the vice president of the United States talk about now white people won't have to apologize for being white. | ||
| That's never happened once in my whole damn life. | ||
| And I think everybody in this room knows what they're doing. | ||
| So we're here today to say enough of this. | ||
| We're here today to stand that Minnesota will protect their. | ||
| I mean, what a clout. | ||
| Why should white people have to apologize for being white? | ||
| Connor, you're the whitest. | ||
| You want to apologize for anything? | ||
| No, you don't. | ||
| And you damn well don't have to. | ||
| Nick Shirley, who is the independent journalist, I've met him a couple of times. | ||
| We've played a bunch of his videos. | ||
| He gets out on the street. | ||
| He challenges these Hamas lunatics. | ||
| He goes to the no-go zones. | ||
| He goes to Dearborn. | ||
| He goes to all these places and just shows what's going on, something the mainstream media seems incapable of doing. | ||
| He tweeted this this morning. | ||
| I ended Tim Walz all in caps. | ||
| And so what happened over the last couple of days, if you were not paying attention because of the Christmas and New Year break, well, the story out of Somalia, which we started seeing this sort of money laundering operation and that there was fake campaign funds that were literally being sent back to Somalia, and it definitely implicates the Attorney General there and Ilhan Omar and everything else. | ||
| The next big thing that happened was that Nick Shirley went. to Minnesota to find out where all this federal money is coming in and it seems to be going to all these Somali daycare centers. | ||
| But it turns out they don't really exist, although some of them have nylon signs. | ||
| Listen to this from Fox. | ||
| Shirley upended the news cycle last week with a 42-minute video investigating Minnesota daycare centers that appeared inactive despite receiving millions of dollars in government funding. | ||
| The shocking video has been viewed over 134 million times on Exalone and prompted investigations by federal officials leading the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to freeze all child care payments to Minnesota. | ||
| This is a kid. | ||
| Kid, he's a young man with a camera. | ||
| That's all he is. | ||
| He could be you. | ||
| He just was like, there's something wrong here. | ||
| I'm going to go check it out. | ||
| Here is Nick Shirley visiting the Quality Learning Center in Minneapolis. | ||
| This Quality Learing Center. | ||
| I meant to say quality learning center. | ||
|

Don't open up. | |

| How do you have ice here, ma'am? | ||
| I'm literally a YouTuber. | ||
|

|
Don't open up. | |
| Ma'am, what do you think about the fraud that's taking place here in Minnesota? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't open up. | |
| We have ice. | ||
| Ma'am, what do you think about this place being licensed for 99 children? | ||
| And getting $4 million in the last two years. | ||
| What do you think about that? | ||
| Are you in favor? | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
| For a second, I thought that woman, it sounds like her, is that crazy harpy Lesbo from Sex in the City. | ||
| But it's not her, right? | ||
| It's not her. | ||
| But there's ice. | ||
| Yes, there's ice. | ||
| You're stepping on it. | ||
| It's snowing, you dumb bitch. | ||
| That's not what's going on here. | ||
| They are feeling why. | ||
| It's first day of the year. | ||
| Lady, why are you more concerned that a YouTuber is exposing fraud rather than that the fraud was taking place? | ||
| Where are the kids that are supposed to be there? | ||
| Why is that building, the learing center, why is that learing center getting millions and millions of dollars? | ||
| It's completely absurd. | ||
| Now, the other part that I love about this, because I love media stories, right? | ||
| Because that's where you get the narrative out of, is that Nick Shirley basically just stole the thunder from the mainstream media. | ||
| He just went in and did what they refused to do, which is journalism. | ||
| So here's CNN trying to discredit him. | ||
| It doesn't quite work out. | ||
| Done enough. | ||
| I mean, they would say, look, these fraud cases have been going on. | ||
| But they've already done like 80 indictments. | ||
| The cases have been going on, you know, for years. | ||
| And why did I show up one day in Minnesota and go to all these daycares? | ||
| No children. | ||
| They're receiving millions of dollars. | ||
| We uncovered nearly $100 million, $110 million in fraud in one day. | ||
| How do you know that all the allegations that you're making are true? | ||
| How do I know that they're true? | ||
| Well, we showed you guys what was happening, and then you guys can go ahead and make your own announcements. | ||
| We're coming so we can make our own analysis. | ||
| Are you 100% sure you're true? | ||
| Yeah, I am 100% sure I'm true. | ||
| CNN is looking into Shirley's claims. | ||
| Hi, my name's Whitney Wilde. | ||
| I'm a correspondent for CNN. | ||
| We reached out to several of the daycares featured in the now viral video. | ||
| Only one daycare facility answered and said they are a legitimate business. | ||
| Oh, that's great journalism. | ||
| You put in a call and one out of all of them said that they're legit. | ||
| Okay, close up shop. | ||
| What's her name? | ||
| Whitney Webb, Whitney Cummings, Whitney Whitless. | ||
| You're not a journalist. | ||
| You should be shamed. | ||
| Like no one knows who you are. | ||
| Congratulations on the short-term gig. | ||
| Go get another job. | ||
| Like you're awful. | ||
| He went to the places. | ||
| And the way she grills him, the way they would never grill a Democrat politician on any of their bullshit, right? | ||
| It's just crazy. | ||
| All the kid did was show up with the freaking phone and be like, you guys are getting millions of dollars. | ||
| Are there any children at this children's daycare center? | ||
| Absolutely freaking insane. | ||
| Here's Nick Shirley on Tim Walz. | ||
| Governor Tim Walz is saying that you and others that are out there trying to expose this, you know, you're doing it because you're white supremacists. | ||
| What is your response to him? | ||
| Yeah, Tim wants votes. | ||
| There are entire apartment complexes where white people have been pushed out of these apartment complexes because Somalians have taken over in their inside of these towns like Minneapolis where they can go and go get votes from these people. | ||
| And if you have 100,000 people that will vote for you because you're going to enable and let this stuff happen and because you're going to call white person racist for calling out facts, this is what's going to happen to a state like Minnesota. | ||
| Minnesotans, they say Minnesota nice, but they are very upset. | ||
| And I totally understand why they're upset because they don't have a governor who's actually working for them. | ||
| He's actually working against them. | ||
| So what CNN and that crazy woman outside the Learing Center want you to believe is that that kid right there is a white supremacist who is working with ICE in some sort of fraudulent claim to get brown people out of the city in the name of white power. | ||
| Now, putting aside that that's not true, even if it was 1% true, then why is Tim Walz stepping down amidst this? | ||
| Do you see that these things might be connected? | ||
| Because the entire money laundering scheme is becoming undone right in their faces. | ||
| There was another video that's been going viral over the last couple of days online, which is this is a Somali. | ||
| I think he's in Minnesota. | ||
| And it seems to me that if your community, you know, the people of the place that you're from, your friends and family were under attack, you might not want to put up a video like this. | ||

And you work all day, you don't got so I can be home all day free. | |
| I can use my EBT. | ||
| Go to work for me, white boy, white girl. | ||
| Yeah, go to work for me, you f ⁇ ing white animals. | ||
| Work for me. | ||
| Yeah, you f ⁇ ing work for me. | ||
| And the U.S. government is the, they work for me. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Now, if is he telling the truth that he's on EBT and he's thrilled, or is he just a troll? | ||
| Is he just trying to get clicks? | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| But it seems to me that would not be the wisest thing to do amidst all of this. | ||
| I'm sure somebody can figure out who he is. | ||
| Nick Shirley will probably figure out who he is and they'll tell you he's a white supremacist for it. | ||
| It is also worth noting, I think this is kind of interesting just them putting it out there, that Ilhan Omar, this is from En Wokeness on Twitter, representative Ilhan Omar's net worth. | ||
| In 2019, she was worth about $45,000, not that much. | ||
| In 2025, she's worth $30 million. | ||
| Her congressional salary is $174. | ||
| So in about six years, if you take six and you multiply it by 174, you're going to get about a million bucks. | ||
| I'm doing rough math off the top of my head now. | ||
| You're going to get less than that even. | ||
| There's something around there. | ||
| And that's without taxes and everything else. | ||
| But she's worth 30 million now. | ||
| There's been some leaked audio that came out. | ||
| Or no, it's not leaked. | ||
| I think the administration put it out, but this is just audio of Trump talking about the deportation of that woman who did marry her brother. | ||
| Somalia. | ||
| Somalia pilots, pirates. | ||
| But what they are doing is they're stealing money from the American taxpayer. | ||
| And every one of them should be forced to leave this country, including Ilhan Omar, who's a total crook. | ||
| And she's one of the leaders of it. | ||
| Not the only because she's not that smart. | ||
| But think of it. | ||
| $19 billion at least they've stolen from Minnesota and from the United States. | ||
| It's actually more from the United States because Minnesota puts in, and we're not going to pay it anymore. | ||
| We're going to have Waltz go pay. | ||
| We're not going to pay them. | ||
| And we're not going to pay California. | ||
| And we're not going to pay Illinois with that big slop of a governor that they have. | ||
| All right, so there's a couple of things going on here. | ||
| Yeah, he doesn't like Ilan and maybe she will be deported and they're going to look into all this fraud. | ||
| And now Tim Walz has stepped down. | ||
| And you know what happens is once one of these guys steps down, it means there's something there, right? | ||
| And then the rats start jumping off the ship and they'll start throwing people under the bus to cut deals with the feds and everything else. | ||
| So we will find out more about this for sure. | ||
| But how do we end our first live show of 2025? | ||
| Well, I think, actually, some frustration notwithstanding, I think what we've talked about here is actually a lot of good stuff, right? | ||
| Like New York City is in bad, bad shape and it's going to get worse. | ||
| But that is not the future of this free country. | ||
| And I am telling you guys, more and more people, especially as we get closer to July 4th, will be realizing how great this country is. | ||
| And there's going to be a reignition of pride in this country and of patriotism. | ||
| And there's one party, now the Democrat Party, that's completely in opposition to that. | ||
| And there's one party for all its flaws and for whatever infighting that likes that shit, that it thinks it's cool, that America's good, fundamentally valuable and worth saving. | ||
| And we're going to have to work hard to fight the media and fight the leftists and fight the fraudsters and all those things. | ||
| But this is our chance. | ||
| And as I said, I'm going to be 50 this year. | ||
| I may as well give it everything I got at the same time too. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like that's pretty good. | ||
| America's 250, Dave's 50. | ||
| We got something to do. | ||
| We got work, dude. | ||
| They're always putting in the work, these people, but they're never doing it. | ||
| When they mean putting in the work, they mean we're going to take from you who's doing the actual work. | ||
| But we're going to put in some work here to save this place. | ||
| And I think through unity, not ideological unity, but like a unity around America and prosperity, we can make this country great again. | ||
| And how are we going to do it? | ||
| Well, it might go through Elon and Trump Phoenix roll for me a little bit. | ||
| Listen to this from RSBN, Right Side Broadcast Network, breaking. | ||
| Elon Musk is reportedly going all in on funding Republicans to help make, to help President Trump take back full control of the November midterm. | ||
| So Elon and Trump, whatever they had, whatever tension there was, it's been dissipating, especially since Charlie died. | ||
| Listen to this from Elon Musk. | ||
| America is toast if the radical left wins. | ||
| They will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud. | ||
| Won't be America anymore. | ||
| So Elon's basically saying, I am back in. | ||
| We're going to do everything we can. | ||
| You know, I'm going to make a bold prediction right here. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| And prediction, political, I'm pretty good when it comes to the ideas. | ||
| Like I get most of my ideas right and the trends right and all that. | ||
| Political predictions are what they are. | ||
| I don't think the midterms are going to be as bad as everyone thinks, but it's going to take actual work, right? | ||
| We're going to have to sell America again. | ||
| We're going to have to tell a better story. | ||
| But I don't think people want what Maduro and Zorhan are selling, right? | ||
| I think they want freedom. | ||
| We just got it. | ||
| We're going to have to really, really fight for it. | ||
| And it's going to be, that's why I think this is such an important year. | ||
| But look at this from Redway Press breaking. | ||
| Elon Musk reveals he had a lovely dinner last night with President Trump and First Lady Melania at Mar-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. | ||
| 2026 is going to be amazing. | ||
| America is stronger with Trump and Musk on the same side. | ||
| Ain't it the truth? | ||
| That's the side I'm on. | ||
| That's the side you're on. | ||
| We're back, baby. | ||
