Dave Rubin critiques Marco Rubio's "Epic Fury" Iran strategy and contrasts it with Trump's commentary, then attacks NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani for driving wealth to Miami via a "pied-à-terre" tax. He condemns Megyn Kelly and Mark Halpern for pandering to Muslims while mocking California Rep. Katie Porter and HHS Xavier Becerra over migrant child claims. The episode exposes alleged LA hospice fraud, Ilhan Omar's tax evasion, and concludes that America's potential for perpetual improvement remains threatened by current political failures.

It's very rare, very rare to go with this brighter color palette around here.
But, you know, we've been working on these shirts for a while.
I have a team of, I don't know, what is it, 70, 80 guys that are constantly refining what we're doing over at the merch store with the t shirts and such.
You know, on Monday I was doing a little blackpilling about the crazy lefties and the crazy righties united.
Today we're going to cover some craziness.
I don't have to explain all the crazy stuff to you.
But when I started at the beginning of the year, we changed the tagline of the show.
It used to be Crazy World, Sane Views.
And then we changed it to a show for normal people.
Connor, can you put it right there?
Do we have something that we can look at that?
A show, that's all it is.
You're going to agree with me on some stuff.
You're going to disagree with me on some stuff.
And it's just fine.
But I will tell you what I think.
And sometimes I'm going to get some things wrong.
It happened once.
I can't remember.
But someone once said to me, Dave, you might have got that one wrong.
And that's what we're trying to do here.
And that's what normal means to me.
You love this country.
I don't care if we disagree about abortion, really.
I don't care if we disagree about foreign policy.
Like, if you basically love this country and you're not a liar and a manipulator and a fraud and a grifter and an Islamist and a psychotic lunatic who wants to chop genitals off children, welcome aboard to the Rubin Report.
We'll be doing a live Rubin Report in Florida, as you know, June 11th with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Ben Shapiro, Jillian Michaels, Adam Carolla, and more.
DaveRubin.com slash events.
And now I'm very excited also because we're doing something a little different today.
Christy, my assistant, she is Cuban.
We have many, many Cubans.
We love the Cuban community here down in South Florida.
There are Cubans everywhere, and Cubans, I actually really do love Cubans.
They get it about freedom.
There's a reason that so many of them came to South Florida and fled Fidel Castro and communism and all that stuff.
So there's just a culture of freedom on top of some great food and mojitos.
And the Cuban colada, which, if you have not had, is basically a shot of espresso with a hell of a lot of sugar, and I don't do sugar.
But I already had one of these today on top of two cups of coffee that I had this morning.
And because our first segment today is all about Marco Rubio, who is just leading the all star voting right now of this administration, I am going to take one more shot of Cuban Colada.
So this is basically my fourth coffee of the day with the sugar.
Yeah, look, I mean, my hope for America is what it's always been.
I think it's the hope I hope we all share.
We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything, where you're not limited by the circumstances of your birth.
By the color of your skin, by your ethnicity, but frankly, it's a place where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential.
I think that should be the goal of every country in the world, frankly, but I think in the U.S., we're not perfect.
Our history is not one of perfection, but it's still better than anybody else's history.
And ours is a story of perpetual improvement.
Each generation has left the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer, and that is our goal as well.
But it is a unique and exceptional country, and as we come upon this 250 year anniversary, I think we have a lot to learn and be proud of in our history.
It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement, where each generation has done its part to bring us closer to fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had upon its founding.
I don't know that you can give a raise for a public.
Servant in the middle of an administration, but he deserves a raise, he deserves an award, he deserves all the accolades.
That's off the cuff.
Every word of that was right.
I was scribbling down some of it because it was so.
First off, that he says, My hope.
The question was, What is your hope, Marco?
He says, My hope is what I hope all of our hope is.
What a brilliant and beautiful opening to all of this.
Then he goes into that we should share this.
We should not be limited by anything so that we can all reach our full potential.
Then he throws.
The ridiculous people aboard, yes, we're not perfect.
Okay, we know we're not perfect.
Nothing is perfect.
But then he says, we are better than anybody else in history.
And that is true.
If you live in the United States in 2026, you live in the best country in the history of the world.
And that is something worth fighting for and understanding why it is so great and understanding what he got to next, which is that every generation in America has made it better for the next generation.
We could be on the precipice of breaking that chain right now if things go awry, right?
The communists, the socialists, the things, the very ideas that our forefathers and our founding fathers fled, literally from wherever in the world they were, doesn't matter whether it was the founding fathers fleeing a king or whether it was people fleeing Nazis or communists or whatever else.
All of the bad ideas that brought everybody to this country, they're being imported right now.
And then he talks about how it's unique and exceptional and that he's proud of it.
And you know what's interesting about all of this?
What do I always say?
When someone's telling the truth, it can just flow.
He didn't have to get all the body motions of a Gavin Newsom who's preparing all the lines and doing all the things.
He's just telling you what he believes that is deeply connected to his own life story of his parents coming here from Cuba.
And his dad was, he's told me the story personally on the show, and he's told it many times his dad being a dishwasher at a restaurant somewhere here in Miami, and then his son.
Becomes, I think at one point he was a congressman, I think around 1998, if I'm not mistaken, but then becomes a senator, eventually runs for president, becomes secretary of state.
Like, that's the American dream, and he represents it.
And it's the same thing the guy's been saying for literally decades, much like another guy, Donald Trump, who was saying the same thing for decades and was basically like, if no one else is going to fix this thing, I guess I'm going to have to do it and run for president.
So that's how I want to start today's show for normal people, because there are good people out there.
We have good people in this administration.
We have a lot of work to do.
But we are fixing things.
So now let's connect this to a little bit about what's going on with Iran, and then we're going to do most of the show is going to be on our shores.
But there was some movement on the Iran stuff over the last couple of days.
Before I get into the specifics of yesterday, I want to throw back to Rubio explaining why we did this in the first place and sort of where we are at right now.
Everybody needs to think about it this way if Iran had a nuclear weapon and they decided to close the straits and make our gas prices like $9 a gallon or $8 a gallon, we wouldn't be able to do anything about it because they have a nuclear weapon.
And a nuclear armed Iran could do whatever the hell they want with the Straits, and there's nothing anyone would be able to do about it.
And that's one of the many reasons, apart from the massive loss of life in a nuclear strike, why Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.
I mean, so this is an example of if they had a nuclear weapon, they closed the straits and they would tell the world, what are you going to do about it?
We have a nuclear weapon, we can attack you with it.
That's the world none of us want to leave behind.
It won't happen under this president's watch, but some future president and the future Americans will have to deal with this.
So, just one more example of why these guys can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
Once these guys got an apocalyptic regime that was enriching uranium at 60%, which is everyone knows is way more than what is needed for civilian use, once they had a ballistic missile program to defend themselves, stronger than the one, well, now they basically don't have one at all, thankfully.
But if they had had a nuke or right on the precipice of a nuke and had the ballistic missile program and have the drones and everything else, you basically They can hold the world hostage.
As he points out, it's not just because of the literal hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people you could kill with the nuke.
It's also because then you are using that as leverage over the Strait of Hormuz and really as a stranglehold over the world's energy.
So he's an incredible explainer, right?
Trump, bumper sticker.
That's what Trump is great at.
Bumper sticker.
I'm going to angle the ship this way.
I know how to play the game and I can move things this way.
And then Marco has really become the leader, the teacher, if you want to call it, he is the teacher in the masterclass of how to communicate the president's policies cleanly and clearly.
So now let's fully get to the update on where we are.
We are wrapping up Epic Fury, the military portion of this, and we are moving on to Project Freedom.
As far as a negotiation is concerned, I think the president's been clear that part of the negotiation process has to be not just the enrichment, but what happens to this material that's buried deep somewhere that they still have access to if they ever wanted to dig it out.
That has to be addressed, and that's being addressed in the negotiation.
I'm not going to go further on what progress has been made on that topic because I don't want to endanger the negotiations, but suffice it to say that the president and this entire team is aware of the centrality of that question, and that will have to be addressed one way or the other.
Again, I'm telling you guys, in my lifetime, I don't remember a more transparent administration.
And I have a feeling we won't have another one for the rest of my lifetime that will be this transparent.
He's telling you, we've wrapped up the military part.
There are negotiations.
I don't want to mess them up, but we know we've got to get some of that uranium out, right?
That's the stuff we're worried about.
We still have to figure out exactly who we're negotiating with, what levers of power they will have, and can they properly govern over the people?
And he also points out, and this is just a sad reality, if Donald Trump, well, first off, if the Republicans lose the midterms and Donald Trump, not only will he be impeached, But he'll be a lame duck.
You could see all the bad actors in the world just starting to go crazy again, right?
Because Trump will be losing his power.
They will see the end of the tunnel, basically, the end of the road with Trump.
And all of the bad actors, I mean the bad actors internationally, the jihadists and all those guys, and the bad actors, well, some of them are jihadists in the Democrat Party right here, and you'll have Republicans jumping ship and everything else.
So Rubio knows there's a limited amount of time to do things, but even if Trump, let's say the Republicans win, the Republicans win the midterms, and Trump has a Great two and a half more years.
There's still, at some point, there's going to be another Democrat administration.
And in that, the Democrats have become completely radical and I would say clinically psycho, basically.
You've got to do as much as you can right now to hamper any future nuclear program.
So, again, that's Marco just off the cuff, clean, clear, simple, direct, perfect.
So, what happens is that we have a situation where we have total control.
As you know, the blockade's been amazing.
It's like a piece of steel.
Nobody's going to challenge the blockade.
And I think it's working out very well.
We're going to see.
I can say this Iran.
Wants to make a deal.
What I don't like about Iran is they'll talk to me with such great respect, and then they'll go on television and say, We did not speak to the president.
We did not, I just spoke to, we did not speak to the president.
So they play games, but let me just tell you, they want to make a deal.
And who wouldn't when your military is totally gone?
You know, I just had a great thought that I think.
Probably illustrates what I've been trying to say here so far, which is that if you were watching a sports game and you usually get two guys in the booth that are telling you, one is the play by play guy and one is the color commentator.
The play by play guy, he's just telling you what's happening on the field, right?
So if it's football, he's going, you know, it's second and nine, blah, blah, blah.
And the color commentator is telling you what's going on behind the scenes, what the coach might be saying to the quarterback, pick your sport, you can do the version of this.
In some sense, this is exactly what Trump and Rubio are becoming, right?
Rubio's the play by play guy.
Here is exactly what we're doing.
Here's why we're doing it, blah, blah.
Trump is the color commentator.
Trump is the guy going, you know, well, we spoke to them and they were pretty good with me, but then, you know, they go on camera and they're lying about this and that.
And that actually works.
You can see really why Trump has offshored so much of this to Rubio because he's really sort of filling, you know, nobody's perfect, right?
So he's filling some of the buckets that I think Trump needs filled.
For all of the panicans and everybody else, this was another forever war.
It was basically a 40 day war that militarily is over, at least as the Americans are concerned.
Iran is shooting a couple rockets and drones into the UAE and they're firing some stuff back, which we covered yesterday.
But the military portion of this is over.
We control the Strait of Hormuz.
And 100%, the world will be, the Middle East and the entire world will be safer at the end of this.
And there's going to be some peace deals signed.
Before the midterms, I guarantee you.
Here's a bit more from Trump on truth.
Based on the request of Pakistan and other countries, the tremendous military success that we have had during the campaign against the country of Iran, and additionally, the fact that great progress has been made toward a complete and final agreement with representatives of Iran, we have mutually agreed that while the blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom, the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the agreement can be finalized and signed.
President Donald J. Trump.
So, once again, guys, Things are moving forward.
You don't have to be a panic in.
You don't win a war and depose an apocalyptic regime that has existed for 40 plus years, that was chanting death to America left and right, and a guy with the influence of a Khomeini.
You don't just knock it out in a day and move on.
So, again, for all that hardcore libertarian version of the people on the right who were so pissed about this, look where we are at.
Gas prices are coming down and will continue to come down.
We have Iran over a barrel, no pun intended, although the pun does kind of work there.
Everything's okay.
However, if you watch CNN, people are very, very scared.
This is this little kid.
We didn't show you this video last week, but he got into it with Scott Adams.
Not Scott.
Scott Jennings.
Miss Scott Adams.
He got into it with Scott Jennings on CNN and had his hand in Scott's face.
And Scott literally said, Get your effing hand out of my face.
So he's this kid.
You know, they can't get adults that are lefties that can debate because there's so little, it's just so thin there.
So they get this, I don't know, 20 something year old kid.
So that's Hal Lambert there who's debating with this kid.
Where is it?
Where is the uranium?
Where's the uranium?
You know, in the clip we showed you of Rubio earlier, he said, We're looking for the uranium.
It is deeply buried in various places.
And then he said, I don't want to say too much because it will harm negotiations.
Like, what is the purpose of the kid?
Where's the uranium?
Oh, it's on Khomeini Avenue on the corner of Jihad and Death to America Street.
Like, what are you talking about?
How do you feel less safe?
We have taken out a regime that was funding terror across.
The world that I know as a Democrat you don't care, but was also funding Hamas, which killed 47 Americans less than three years ago.
So it's just performative nonsense with these children and the fact that they have to put a kid like this on who has done nothing, done nothing, but there's nobody left, there's nobody left sensible to debate on the left anymore.
And that's what they are left with, which is why Scott Jennings, usually, or in this case, this guy, Hal Lambert, did a nice job of, you know, your feelings don't matter.
It don't matter.
The world is safer.
And if you think, That Rubio just laid it out.
If you think the world is unsafe now, well, what do you think would have happened if the Iranians just one day announced, well, by the way, guys, you guys didn't want war, and well, we got a nuke, and now you're in deep doo doo?
It would have been significantly worse.
But it is interesting because they shoot that show in New York City, and that kid right there, he's very nervous about what's happening because of Donald Trump.
Interestingly, I wonder if he walked out on the street and saw what was happening in New York City yesterday.
We'll get to that in just a second, but first, Mars Health.
At some point, you start to notice things feel just a little different.
Your energy isn't quite the same, workouts don't hit like they used to, and staying lean takes a lot more effort than it should.
A big part of that comes down to testosterone levels naturally declining as you get older.
That's where Mars Men comes in.
It's designed to support healthy testosterone levels using natural ingredients so your body can burn fat more efficiently, build lean muscle, and keep your energy steady throughout the day.
No weird stimulants, no synthetic hormones, just clean, tested ingredients that help your body perform the way it used to.
If you're ready to feel stronger, leaner, and more like yourself, again, this is worth trying.
For a limited time, you can get 50% off for life, plus free shipping and three free gifts at mengoatomars.com.
All right, so they shoot that CNN show in New York, and that kid Adam there, he feels very unsafe because of Donald Trump.
Offered no evidence of why he feels unsafe.
Of course, he could have walked out of that studio, which is in Midtown, and he could have walked up to the Upper East Side or several areas of New York City, because here's a compilation of pro-, well, they call them pro-Palestine, but pro-Hamas people and Islamists and Hezbollah fans, they even had a Hezbollah flag, clashing with the NYPD, including outside, literally right outside of a synagogue.
Say it loud, say it clear.
We don't want no Zionists here.
What they've done with the word Zionist, nobody was saying the word Zionist a couple years ago because the goal of the Zionists in the late 1800s into the first half of the 1900s was to create the modern state of Israel where the ancient land of Israel existed.
Israel exists.
So there's very few Jews running around screaming that they're Zionists because the proof is in the pudding.
It exists.
But when they say we don't want no Zionists here, what they're really saying is, well, we don't want any Jews here, right?
But it's not just Jews, there are Christians and atheists, and I assume some Muslims and whoever else that are Zionists, if the only definition means that Israel should exist.
But okay, there they are outside Hunter College, making sure they're scaring the hell out of students.
And they were quite literally at the border of a synagogue, right there, making sure that people can't worship.
And they have the Hezbollah flag, which is a designated terrorist organization.
And of course, the Palestinian flag in Palestine is a country that never existed, which has only been created to destroy countries which do exist.
And they have the terrorist Kefion, and they've got their masks because they don't want to be seen, and they're threatening people.
And the question is to the backdrop of what Marco Rubio said up front, what does what they are doing have to do with a future prosperous America?
They are trying to destroy America.
Okay, congratulations.
Like, think about it.
So let's say they got their wish.
They somehow destroy Israel.
Well, you're going to end up killing 2 million Muslims that live there as free and equal citizens, too, but obviously they don't care about them.
But let's, okay, fine.
They wipe out about 10 million Jews.
Take out about 2 million Muslims.
You think these people will stop?
You think they're going to be like, oh, well, we did it, we did it.
Guys, everybody go home, get jobs.
No, it will, then the entree, right?
This is appetizer stuff, and the entree is America.
But the reason I'm showing you that is that kid in the CNN studio is very nervous and scared because of what Donald Trump is doing.
I would imagine if you live in New York City and you're a sane person who just wants to walk down the street without seeing terrorists all over the place.
And it's also, you know, they're getting, it's interesting what they're doing.
They're doing, but I said last week, The Jurassic Park, when the raptor is testing the door to see if he can open it thing, when they get to these temples or they get to this college or the hospital or whatever it is, there's a barricade there because you're not just allowed to burst in.
And then they start pushing and pushing and pushing, and the police are pushing back.
I'd be tempted in a weird way, it's like maybe the police shouldn't push back one day.
And what is it that they intend to do if they burst into this temple?
Would you burn it down?
Would you kill all the people inside?
I mean, I think there's many versions of those things that they might do.
But at some point, Especially because of the new mayor, the conditions are being created in New York City for modern pogroms and probably much worse.
Now, we mentioned on the show a day or two ago that Moran Zamboni, the Islamist communist in charge of New York City right now, he just vetoed a bill, 175B, which would have allowed for buffer zones outside of synagogues, churches, mosques, etc., places of worship.
There would have had buffer zones.
Vetoed it because he wants this madness, particularly at synagogues.
The second, Intro 175B, which applies to educational institutions, is meaningfully different.
The problem is how widely this bill defines an educational institution and the constitutional concerns it raises regarding New Yorkers' fundamental right to protest.
As the bill is written, everywhere from universities to museums to teaching hospitals could face restrictions.
Say you're a worker protesting ICE.
Or a college student demanding your school divest from fossil fuels, or demonstrating in support of Palestinian rights.
Intro 175 is not a narrow public safety measure.
It is a piece of legislation that has alarmed much of the labor movement, reproductive rights groups, and immigration advocates, amongst others, across this city.
Nearly a dozen unions have raised the alarm about its impact on their ability to organize.
Everything about him is fake, but he was particularly fake in the way he was speaking in that one.
And of course, really what it's about more than anything else is people that want to protest for Palestinian rights.
Nobody out there was protesting for Palestinian rights outside of a synagogue.
They were protesting because they want to either kill the Jews or end the Jewish state or all the usual stuff.
But he wants that.
I am telling you, this communist jihadist or jihadist communist, you know, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, we'll call him a jihadist communist.
Tuesdays and Thursdays, we'll do it the other way around.
And it really doesn't matter.
He wants maximum chaos in the city.
He wants to push out, they've already pushed out a lot of the people that make the money that he needs to do all his quote unquote free things that he's not doing right now.
But he also wants just a general.
State of chaos.
And I am telling you, if you are Jewish or if you are sane or a little of both, or you just happen to like Jews or sane people, it's probably time to go because it's going to get much worse this summer.
It is obvious.
So he vetoed that last month, and now we're seeing the fruits of it.
Congratulations.
You can just, you know, you're just taking your family to church, you're taking your family to synagogue, and congratulations.
Literal sympathizers with jihadists and people who support designated terrorist organizations might be screaming at you, and you're going to have to have police.
Pushing them about a foot away from the entrance of the door.
Congratulations.
The other thing that this guy did, as I just mentioned, is he's pushing out all the people who make money.
So you remember the video that he did where he's instituting his new pied de terre tax.
And this is pied de terre, where a rich person has usually a condo in a big city.
They don't live there, but they've got the extra condo and they come and they do business there and it's economically prosperous and they go to shows and ballet and they spend money and all of these things.
And they might have some other employees there.
And he wants to, on top of all the other taxes that these people are paying, he wants to tax those.
And in his video, He directly went to the house, to the condo of Citadel CEO Ken Griffin.
Let's show you that, and then we'll show you the fallout.
When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich.
Well, today, we're taxing the rich.
I'm thrilled to announce we've secured a pied-a-terre tax, the first in New York's history.
This is an annual fee on luxury properties worth more than $5 million, whose owners do not live full-time in the city, like for this penthouse, which hedge fund CEO Ken Griffin bought for $238 million.
And remember, guys, when we do the Dark Knight Rises thing and we grip all the rich people out of their houses and we burn everything down, you know, Gangs of New York style, you might want to start here.
I won't go to Alex Soros' house, but I'll go to this guy's house.
Well, congratulations.
You went to Ken Griffin's house.
And, well, Ken Griffin now is continuing to double down on Miami and leaving New York.
So, what do we do with 350 is still a point of discussion internally.
But what is no longer a point of discussion is that Miami is now, you know, when we moved from Chicago, there was a debate between New York and Miami.
It's unquestionably true that we made the right choice.
I'll leave it at that.
It's unquestionably true that we made the right choice.
And now, what the mayor of New York has made clear to my partners, and principally my New York partners, is that we need to double down on our bet in Miami because we want to be in a state that embraces business, that embraces education, that embraces personal freedom and liberty, and that embraces people having an opportunity to live the American dream.
And, well, this guy, he wants to be in a place that's going to embrace business and education and freedom and stuff like that.
So, yeah, they're moving everything down.
He'll probably still have some little something in New York, but everybody will continue to come down here because we have created the conditions for freedom so that people can do with their money what they wish.
It allows a little liquidity.
Into the system, and then people start flourishing, doing more things for themselves.
And of course, again, that's all the reverse of what a communist wants.
But as I said, it's not just that he's a communist, it's a communist with a dash of jihadism or Islamism.
And Europe has seen many versions of this, where especially in the UK, that they've got all of these Islamists, again, whatever, I don't even care about the word exactly, but these people that are trying to push Islam into an otherwise free society.
And now we know, and again, go back to my videos a year ago when we started talking about Mandami.
What did I say?
It's not exactly that if he gets into New York that that's the worst thing.
The worst thing will be that we will start seeing it spread everywhere else.
And we are seeing it spread everywhere else.
We've already talked to you about this guy running for Senate, Abdul Al Sayed, in Michigan.
And again, he cares more.
His whole thing is about destroying Israel rather than doing anything for the Michigan people.
But apparently they like that because they elected Tlaib.
But here is Palestinian Muslim Abur Kawas, who's running, I think this is in Queens.
For New York State Senate, and I can see she's going to do an awful lot to help the people of New York.
unidentified
I'm Abir, a candidate for State Senate in District 12, and our campaign is gaining steam.
But as a Palestinian Muslim woman running for office, you know our momentum is going to bring some pretty ugly attacks.
One that the right is already obsessed with, an absurd claim that I held the Hamas flag at a protest a decade ago.
It's BS.
It was actually a scarf printed with the Shahada, a common religious symbol like the cross or Star of David.
And it's everywhere.
It's a statement of faith, and standing up for justice has always been part of my faith.
Like, is she running to have anything to do with making New York more truly economically viable, getting the government out of the way, or anything else?
Or is this just another extension of the creeping Islamism of anything else?
Who cares if you're Palestinian Muslim?
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares.
Are your ideas good?
And there's just no doubt that this is going to be an ushering in of more terrible ideas.
And everybody was warned.
But now I want to connect this to something else.
Because you might go, well, why does this keep happening?
We saw this happen in Europe.
And there's enough people in America that love freedom that understand that Islam, unfortunately, is a political ideology as much as it is a religion.
That's the problem.
So when you swear your oath of office on the Quran, as Zorhan Mamdami did, he was swearing on a political document, in essence, that supersedes the Constitution of the United States in his mind.
So he's doing exactly what he was sworn in to do, right?
To me, every Public officials should have to swear in on the Constitution.
I think you can make an argument, it shouldn't even be the Bible, actually.
It should just be the Constitution.
But let's put that aside for a second.
One of the problems that I think is happening all over the world is that this is a numbers game that is not good.
There are billions and billions of Muslims, and now hundreds of millions of them in Western societies.
And whether it's politicians or media members, there's a certain amount of people that want to pander to them, right?
And you see this.
You see this very clearly with Keir Starmer in the UK.
You see this with guys like Piers Morgan, who puts jihadists on his show all the time.
And now in America, we had to smack around Tucker a little bit yesterday.
And I've got to just show you two things on Megyn Kelly, which has been just an extraordinary disappointment.
Watching her go in this direction, but it's been obvious for a long time.
Here she is with this guy, Mark Halpern, who he strikes me as a pretty decent guy.
And she's explaining how Tucker is now getting all of these new Muslim men as fans because of his new positions.
Like he's gotten very, very popular lately, I read with Muslim viewers, because he's been standing up for Islam, you know?
And I have to tell you, Mark, it's been something I've noticed just since I've gotten a sort of.
More clear eyed on Israel that a lot of the anti Muslim rhetoric that's put out there originates with people who are very, very pro Israel who kind of need us to demonize them.
And I've taken a look recently at my own rhetoric on this to say, Have I been manipulated?
I want to make sure I'm not getting manipulated.
I mean, I'm experiencing some of that myself, and Tucker probably times 10.
Toward your neighbor who happens to be a nominal Muslim, obviously, and it's exhausting talking about this.
But what she's really saying there is as Tucker is defending Islam, which is quite a statement, Tucker, who every day is telling you what a great Christian he is, somehow he's defending Islam, which I think that actually is true, and I think there's a chance he's already converted, but that aside for a second, he said he was buying a house in Qatar and everything else, and he remembered he went to Saudi Arabia and at a conference said he's in the seat of Islam and he feels very safe as a Christian.
There are no Christian churches in Saudi Arabia, but okay.
What she's basically saying there is, oh, he's getting a new audience.
And you might say, well, there's 2 billion Muslims in the world and there's only about 16 million Jews.
And if you just care about cliques and you just care about that, well, then you might want to go there.
However, I wonder if Megan just a few months ago had a completely different view on this.
Islam is not consistent with the values of America, of the West.
They should stay in countries that don't care about keeping church and state separated, they should stay in countries that don't care about protecting free speech.
They should stay in countries that don't care about women's rights.
That's where Islam can fester and grow.
It's great.
I mean, I'm sure if that's like your thing and you don't care about like genital mutilation, you might really enjoy living in an Islamic country.
I think he's understanding there may be some new listeners over here.
You know, like he's gotten very, very popular lately.
I read with Muslim viewers because he's been standing up for Islam, you know.
And I have to tell you, Mark, it's been something I've noticed just since I've gotten a sort of more clear-eyed on Israel that a lot of the anti-Muslim rhetoric that's put out there originates with people who are very, very pro-Israel who kind of need us to demonize them.
If you want to see what a grifter is, that is the best example of what a grifter is: someone who will say anything depending on what they think the temperature is and where they can get clicks and how they can make money.
Somehow in January of 26, the first half of that video, They shouldn't be here.
Their culture doesn't fit with our culture.
What they're doing to women and minorities, blah, Five months later, oh, she was manipulated into saying that.
Is none of that stuff true?
That stuff is all true.
The stuff you said then is true, but she's realizing she can get clicks.
She's admitting it's funny.
She's saying it's Tucker.
She's saying, well, Tucker just is getting these clicks from young Muslim men.
And she wants those clicks too, right?
All of that.
So she is taking the least principled position you could possibly have.
She is spitting in your face if you are watching her.
And by the way, she will do it again in three months from now.
She'll flip again.
And remember, this is the same woman who is telling you she was for Trump, and then suddenly Trump is, Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin are running Donald Trump.
Like every liar, fraud, out of all the people I've met in this ridiculous business, she is literally at the top of the complete and utter fraudsters.
Who does not believe a word she is saying?
It is obvious, and she just wants clicks and money.
It is as simple as that.
But just to give you a little context, can we throw this map up?
Yeah, well, there are 50 something Muslim nations, about 2 billion Muslims.
That little thing in the red there, right in the middle, that's Israel.
It's the size of New Jersey.
There are about 12 million Jews there, something like that.
I think 16 million overall.
Yeah, there are 2 billion Muslims, which is 25% of humanity, 16 million Jews, which is 0.2%.
There are 130 Muslims for every Jew.
So if you really just care about numbers, if you care about getting new audience, I guess I could do it too.
I mean, our numbers have been fantastic.
But I guess if I really just cared about numbers, I could do it too.
Like, if you're just a numbers person, you're just a ratings person, you come from cable news and you only care about ratings.
These kids, doesn't have any information about this stuff.
Of course, in 2023, when he had the job that had something to do with these lost kids, here he is at a congressional hearing.
unidentified
And, Senator, every week I get briefed by my team, sometimes two or three times a week, on this situation with the unaccompanied migrant kids and where we stand.
I've never heard that number of 85,000.
I don't know where it comes from.
And so I can't attest.
I would say it doesn't sound at all to be realistic.
And what we do is we try to follow up as best we can with these kids.
The ad is about showing Californians what they've had a chance to see on this stage tonight and in every other debate stage that we've had, which is that I'm able to take responsibility, I'm able to follow the rules, I'm able to say I'm sorry, and I'm able to do better.
Okay, so this crazy woman who she has a very like Elizabeth Warren style, you know, like evil librarian thing, she is really, really nasty.
And you may remember the video we're going to show you a portion of in just a second where one of her staffers got into her shot while she was doing TV and she yells.
Get out of my effing shot.
So, anyway, she put up this ad where she kind of made fun of it, at least in a portion of it.
And then they do an ad, and in the ad, it's get out of my shot.
And then there's canned laughter.
Everyone's like, ha ha ha.
She told that person to get the F out of her shot, and now she's making a joke about it with us.
What do I always say?
Scratch a progressive.
You will find something very, very nasty underneath.
But it's not just something nasty.
They pretend they are nice while they are nasty.
It's also that their policies are completely backwards.
So, for example, it's not just that she wants illegals here, she also wants to take money from legal citizens and give the illegals health care across the state.
unidentified
Take a look.
So, Congresswoman Porter, your thoughts on the idea of funding health care for undocumented immigrants statewide?
It's the job of the California governor to protect every single Californian.
The sanctuary state policy is designed to make sure that our state resources, the taxpayer dollars, the public servants that we have are focusing on doing their jobs, which is not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities.
These are Californians.
They contribute to our economy.
They pay taxes, and they're one of the only ways that our state has been growing in recent years.
And as a billionaire, he's basically a hostage in that state.
Most of his billionaire friends have left, and many of them obviously are here in Florida and they're flourishing and moving all of their businesses.
But this guy seems to be into some weird dominatrix crap where they're just going to strap him and he's going to be beaten and go, I'm a billionaire.
Mom, I'm a bad boy, billionaire.
These are just going to be beaten senseless.
He could give away billions and give health care to all these illegals and everything, but for some reason he wants the state to steal from the poorer people to give it to the illegals.
So here he is saying he supports taxpayer funded health care for illegals.
unidentified
On the question of health care for the undocumented, I said everybody in California has a right to health care.
The fact of the matter is, we had a broken immigration system, and now you want to victimize the people who are working here and making this state run.
So, one in three hospices in the entire country is in LA.
That's a lot of pretend actors dying, okay?
And they think that 50% of them at least are fraudulent.
So, they are taking this money laundering, this is scheming.
And shenanigans and several other very technical terms at the highest possible level.
So, Katie Porter wants to run for governor.
She wants to take money from taxpayers to give illegals extra services, while at the same time saying there's nothing special about our fraud here, so let's not even look into it, right?
That's what she's really saying.
It's like, ah, there's just a bunch of fraud and it's kind of equal everywhere, so don't even look.
Meanwhile, you've got Dr. Oz going, one in three, and half of them are fraudulent, and we are uncovering it.
I thought this was good.
Fox journalist William Le Genoux, I think, is his name.
He showed up at a hospice, and you'd think that with these hospice people, people are dying to get in, right?
So you'd think, you got it, you got it, they're dying to get in.
So people, you'd think they'd have a leaflet at the door or someone who would welcome you.
It's a very tough time going into hospice.
We've all had grandparents or whatever that have done it, so joking aside for a second, you would think that they would have some information at the door.
There would be kind people that would be waiting to talk to you.
Oh, you have to bring a family member here.
This is very sad, but we're going to do the best we can.
However, he got a slightly different response at this hospice he showed up to in LA.
So, this doctor claims he doesn't know anything about it.
This is just one little example of what's going on there, okay?
So, that means that this hospital only enrolled a few dozen patients in 2023, but last year it billed 1.3 mil for 109 patients, and now the doctor is claiming he doesn't even have anything to do with the place.
Again, that's just one example.
But why is it?
Why is it that no Democrat is interested in looking at fraud anywhere?
They don't want to look at fraud anywhere in the country.
And when you ask them about fraud, they'll basically say, well, it's as bad here as everywhere else, so we shouldn't look at it.
The entire Democrat operation is a money laundering scheme.
You could even connect this in a way to the story we covered about 10 days ago about this federal indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Everything that the Democrat machine takes money into, what do they do?
They launder the money to the point that the Southern Poverty Law Center was literally paying the KKK so that they could do KKK stuff so the Southern Poverty Law Center could raise more money.
It's everywhere.
It's everywhere.
And here's Oz pointing out that the fraud is kind of a baked in feature at this point.
Can I say something about Mehmet for a second, Dr. Oz?
I'm so proud to call him a friend.
We became friends over the last couple years.
I didn't even know him until I interviewed him once on Zoom when he was running for senator from Pennsylvania.
And as you all know, ironically, he lost to Fetterman.
And in a weird way, you could argue that's good because now Fetterman is the last sane Democrat.
And Oz is doing great things in the administration, as you can see.
But I think I maybe mentioned this once.
I don't think he'll mind if I say it.
But before the administration got sworn in as Oz was coming in and JFK and all these guys were coming in.
He held a little symposium at his house and Jordan Peterson was there and Bobby Kennedy was there and Tony Robbins was there.
It was like this great Sly Stallone, which was the coolest freaking thing that I had ever.
To shake his hand was just awesome.
But I was a part of it.
It was about 12 people all discussing how they can all go about their job and how they'll be able to do better and how when he's in charge of Medicare and Medicaid and communicating this stuff, he'll be able to do better.
This guy cares deeply.
He's Dr. Freaking Oz.
The guy's got a lot of money.
He did not need to do this.
He could retire.
It's sort of like Bobby Kennedy.
He didn't need to do this.
And how, if these guys aren't able to fix it, then who the hell is going to be able to fix it?
So I just respect the guy at the highest possible level.
And okay, so now let's jump from California a second to the place where this all sort of started, which is Minnesota.
And of course, Ilhan Omar is deep in it because not only is she deep in it as far as the Somali specific scheming, but this is a woman who also made an error on her personal taxes for $30 million, including a winery that doesn't exist.
Here's Fox reporting that she's now not complying with the Minnesota House Committee, which is looking into her.
Squad Democrat Ilhan Omar closing in on a deadline set by Minnesota Republicans to turn over documents about potential ties to a state fraud ring after she dodged a hearing last month.
Our senior correspondent Mike Tobin is reporting live out of Chicago.
And Sandra, that deadline is today for Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar to turn over documents and communication tied to defendants in that massive feeding our futures scandal.
The Minnesota House Committee on Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight is holding its last meeting of the legislative session today.
However, the committee does not have enough votes to subpoena the Congresswoman.
So the committee doesn't have a legal mechanism to compel Omar to cooperate.
The chair of the committee has sent Omar multiple invitations and requests for documents.
You get how crazy that is, how deep the corruption of what happens when you have these one party states and it's always one party Democrat run states?
Everyone knows she has not only married her brother and broke federal immigration law, she completely lied on her personal taxes, and everyone knows that.
She's involved in this massive scheme that also goes all the way up to Tim Walz and everything else.
But then the very committee that's supposed to drag her in can't even get the votes to do it because they're all in on it too.
It is the grift that keeps on grifting.
Here's a Fox report to show you that this is also, we've talked about Cali, we've talked about some screwiness in New York, now we've talked about Minneapolis.
Here's a Fox report out of DC about some levels of manipulation, in this case, crime statistics, not financial, but happening in our nation's capital.
13 members of the Washington, D.C. Police Department are on administrative leave tonight after an internal affairs investigation into the alleged manipulation of crime statistics.
Washington Post reporting they are facing termination.
The District Police Union is welcoming that decision, saying the move marks a long overdue step toward justice and the restoration of integrity within the department.
I don't know more about that story, but I think it's interesting that in D.C., they're screwing around with crime numbers.
And it's also what we see out of all of these.
Blue cities and blue states.
They'll tell you things are safer while people are being executed on the street, while the Chicago numbers go up.
We just know it.
We know that things are not working.
Now, fortunately, because so much of this, by the way, I just interviewed Joe Lonsdale yesterday, who was the co founder of Palantir with Teal.
I've had him on the show a few times.
We're going to put it up on Saturday.
But one of the things he consistently talks about that I love, because we were really, the whole hour we spent focused on what is a positive future for the world and America look like.
One of the things he kept talking about is, You know, you got Bernie and all these guys, and they're bitching and moaning about AI, and it's going to replace all the jobs and everything else.
It's going to fix so many of our problems.
It's going to fix fraud.
It's going to fix health care.
It's going to fix defense.
There's so many things that will become more transparent and that will be run more efficiently in the future.
And that's another reason why it's ironic that the left, I guess it's not ironic, it's kind of obvious why the left is so against it.
They want the fraud and everything to be baked into the system.
Here's Kash Patel talking to Hannity on his podcast.
About how we are doing things differently with this FBI, like, I don't know, arresting bad people.
In 2025, in one year under President Trump's leadership, this FBI arrested 40,000 violent criminals.
That's not the total arrest the FBI had, that number is closer to 80,000.
But the 40,000 violent criminals we arrested, Sean, was a 112% increase from 2024.
112% increase.
If this FBI under Donald Trump did nothing else but that, That is the only thing the mainstream media would be talking about if it was a President Kamala Harris.
Why are there so many violent criminals in the United States of America?
And you hit on it the open borders policy and the lax rules laid out by the opponents of President Trump to be pro crime.
Yeah, and the Democrat Party basically is pro crime right now.
And Trump is trying the best he can with the tools he can, not only to send ICE into places to deal with the illegals, but to also get the FBI to start arresting criminals again and going into states and do all of those things.
But now I want to wrap.
This thing up really nice and tight.
I saw a video yesterday that, speaking of AI, I thought was the single best use of AI video that I've seen, certainly in a political sense, yet.
So, we've talked a bit about Spencer Pratt, who is running.
We talked about him a lot yesterday.
He's running as a Republican for mayor of Los Angeles, and he was a reality TV guy who had no intentions to be in politics, but his house and his parents' house burned down during the Palisades fire.
He's now seen the urban chaos and everything else, and he is running as a Republican.
Is there any chance he can win?
Your guess is as good as mine.
However, somebody, this is not from his campaign, this is a guy who is just a freaking incredible guy.
We've already reached out to this guy.
He's just an incredible AI creator.
And here he is with, we're going to show you a portion of this Batman AI ad for Spencer Pratt.
And it's interesting because, you know, I keep talking about how New York City's becoming the dark night with the clown courts and everything else.
He basically takes that idea and he applies it to LA.
unidentified
Watch this.
Please, I'm begging you.
There's homeless drug addicts in front of the Schools, my children aren't safe.
Look, if you were a transgender migrant, I could get you a free pussy.
Let's move the drug addicts closer.
Bass already solved crime.
I endorse her.
Please, I just want to rebuild my home.
It's been over a year.
This is a machine.
If we want to burn this town to the ground, You can do it.
Spencer, I mean, tell me that is not the best use of AI you have seen yet.
Everyone was nodding in here.
Like, we're getting ahead on all of this.
I have my guys training on all this stuff.
Like, we're going to come out with some real bangers in the future on this.
But, like, this, the guy, by the way, I want to credit him.
His name is Charles Coran.
We've already reached out to him to see if we could do some work with him.
But it's like, you know, they used to say a picture is worth a thousand words, and it's like an AI video is worth well over a million words, probably.
What the emotion that that can bring out.
And again, just think, just to connect this to the sort of technological horizon that we're on, like, that guy, As far as I understand it, he created it in less than 24 hours because the day before on Twitter, he was like, I have this idea.
And then that was out literally like 16 or 18 hours later.
Think about how this is going to change everything.
And it actually could be cool.
We will have all these AIs and robots, and we'll be able to create new things that we can't even dream of right now.
And we'll be able to do more with less when it comes to healthcare and the productivity that will explode and everything else.
And again, if you're interested in any of that, I'd really recommend the interview that I did with Lonzale, which will be up on Saturday.
Yeah, look, I mean, my hope for America is what it's always been.
I think it's the hope I hope we all share.
We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything, where you're not limited by the circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin, by your ethnicity, but frankly, it's a place where you are able to overcome challenges.
And achieve your full potential.
I think that should be the goal of every country in the world, frankly.
But I think in the U.S., we're not perfect.
Our history is not one of perfection, but it's still better than anybody else's history.
And ours is a story of perpetual improvement.
Each generation has left the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer.
And that is our goal as well.
But it is a unique and exceptional country.
And as we come upon this 250 year anniversary, I think we have a lot to learn and be proud of in our history.
It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement, where each generation has done its part to bring us closer to fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had upon its founding.
