It's a crazy world Crazy world Somebody gotta have the same view It's a crazy world It's a crazy world Somebody. All right, guys, we are live a streaming on the rumble, on the YouTube, on the locals. I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin report. It's November 18, 2024, and we realized a couple days ago that Today is the eighth year anniversary, November 18, 2016, of the first time I ever did a show with Jordan Peterson. I think we have an image here. This is just a screenshot. So what you're seeing there is a screenshot from eight years ago. I had just moved into my house. We didn't have a studio yet. We were stealing Internet from the neighbor. But I had to do some shows and everyone was like, just jump on Skype with this guy. There's this Canadian professor. He kind of sounds like Kermit the Frog. He's talking about Peter Pan and a whole bunch of other stuff. And we did that interview literally eight years ago today. And then what you're seeing next to it is a couple days ago, that was actually on Friday. Our show here with Michael Knowles and Gad Saad was pre taped on Thursday. Because on Friday I went to Phoenix, Arizona and I did. I was the guest on Jordan's 500th podcast. And we went deep into belief and family and fatherhood and politics and media and a whole bunch more. And that'll be out later in the week and we'll post some clips here. And of course, you'll be able to watch all that on Jordan's channel. But, man, just. It's perfectly. I would say it's perfectly connected. If you look back eight years ago when no one knew who Jordan was, you know, I guess we had a little operation going and just how all of the ideas that we've talked about for so long have so burst forth. And that is directly connected to where we're going with the show today. Because the culture has officially shifted, guys. The Woke are in major retreat. We'll do a little bit about them as the show gets on, but let's focus first on the winning side, because UFC 309 was over the weekend at Madison Square Garden. This was basically like the biggest fight event of the year. And as I always say to. To those of you who are watching this, that don't really care about ufc. It's not. It's not really my thing either. Right. But it's a cultural phenomenon that seems to now be deeply connected with what's going on here politically and really across the board in America right now. So let's just start UFC 309, the All Stars. We're all there. This new non woke avenger team that we have with Trump and Elon and Tulsi and RFK and Dana White and a whole bunch more. Well, here they are walking out WWE style. If you're not a UFC guy, if at least you can jump on a wwe, picture this as Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, et cetera, et cetera. And here they are with the crowd reaction. And then we'll dive into some of the specifics. Gentlemen, look who is now making his way to the world famous Octagon FL by UFC CEO Dana White. 45, soon to be 47. President elect Donald Trump. I wish the people at Calm could hear the sound in this room. It's so loud in here. It is so loud. It's always loud when he comes here. But now that he's won, now that he's the president again, yes. Oh, my God. So Donald Trump making his way to watch the ufc, which he absolutely loves, and doing so with some sort of victory lap after regaining the presidency earlier this month in emphatic fashion with an election. All right, so again, you may not care about UFC that much, but remember the guy who they told us was Hitler with his Nazi army is now got. Has now got, you know, 30,000 people at MSG cheering for him. You can feel that something's happening there. He bumped into a little known podcaster known as Joe Rogan. Kamala Terrace. Congratulations, sir. Congratulations again. I'm just painting you the picture here that something's happening. This alliance, remember Rogan, did not endorse Donald Trump until the Monday before the Tuesday election. Now they're hugging, right? There's something going on. My girl, Sage Steele, she was in the front row there and she got this video. This is courtesy of Sage Little YMCA with RFK Junior. Okay, so now let's get to the point. So the point of all of this is something's happening culturally, and then what do I always talk about? The narrative is more important than, like the specifics of the political part. So how is corporate media, which is dying right now, how are they going to cover this? How does this team really start working together and then do the things that they're promising to do, which there's a long list of which we'll get to in a little bit. A guy by the name of Mark Caputo, who is a Bulwark.com guy, which is kind of like a Trump derangement website. So he's a CNN contributor, I believe. Here he is saying that this is sort of the Republican Caesar moment going into the Coliseum. I think he's kind of giving Trump credit here. Like, oh, you've built something really amazing. It's a little unclear if he means it as a compliment or not. I mean, and it really looks like ancient Rome here. This is sort of the conquering Republican Caesar who's going into the Coliseum and everyone's cheering and he's got his political gladiators with him. That appearance isn't just about him enjoying the applause. He's sending a message to the Senate for sure. Like, not only are you entertained, but these are my people. And are you willing to fight? Because here's who I have. All right, so, again, I don't know if he means that. Like, that's true, and it should be that way, like Donald Trump would. Not that we want him to be Caesar, but Donald Trump is clearly the winner with the mandate. Here are his gladiators, meaning his awesome team. So I don't know if the guy's giving him credit for not credit for that or not, but I think the optics of that are absolutely right. And then if you want to see a little more on how the culture has shifted, well, Jon Jones, who's basically, they're saying pretty much the best UFC fighter of all time. Right? Like, that's basically what they're saying about this guy. Now. Here he is. He knocks out the opponent and immediately rolls into the Trump dance and then goes over to Trump. How good is Shawty Bones? How good? Wow. He did the Trump dance. He did the Trump dance. I also want to say a big, big thank you, President Donald Trump, for being here tonight. Can I get a hey, what do you guys think about my version of the Donald Trump. Check it out. Usa. Usa. Let's go. That's what I like. I'm proud. I'm proud to be a great American champion. I'm proud to be a Christian American champion. All right, so you guys get the cultural shift? I think we all get it right now. We're all feeling good, right? My conversation with Megyn Kelly from last Thursday, there's really a feeling that we all have right now, like, we almost gave it all away. It's coming back. People are excited again. You can sense there's gonna be new economic opportunities. I think there's gonna be new art and music and all of this stuff and a pride in America. I'm telling you guys, the 80s are coming back. It is going to be incredible. We're going to have to deal with a lot of nonsense. They're going to throw our way to stop it from happening because they don't want America flourishing and all of those things. But it's coming whether they like it or not. Here's Don Jr. On Maria Bartiromo talking about how the shift has happened and the future is looking bright. Honestly, it was epic. You're actually witnessing in real time, Maria, a cultural phenomenon, a cultural shift like we've probably never seen before. Who would have thought, you know, loving your country is actually cool. Fighting for it, fighting for our future and the next generation is actually cool. People finally get it. Despite the onslaught from the mainstream media, despite the billions spent by big tech trying to say otherwise, people get it. You know, watching Jon Jones come over there, and frankly, all of the fighters, they all came over and showed my father respect. I mean, whether they won or lost, Michael Chandler put up a great fight. Didn't win in the end, but came up, people are getting it. It's cool to beat maga. Making America great again is actually really cool. It always was, Maria. But it's always hard to go up against that tide and that money that was spent so aggressively against us. It's no longer working. The American people are aligned. They are unified in putting our country first. They're unified for fighting for their incredible American dream. And that's just an amazing thing to see. Yeah, he's right. Like, we got pretty damn close. You got to give the devil his due. These guys, through big tech and through the institutions and taking over education systems and everything and the media and all of that stuff, they got us pretty close. They, you know, they basically, they. They bamboozled, let's say, an entire generation, maybe two generations into thinking that America's evil, our founding is bad. We're all racists, we're sexist, we hate each other. Capitalism is bad. All of the stuff up is down, left is right, boys or girls, all of the stuff. They did it. They did it. They did it. They pushed, they pushed, they pushed. They told us that the guy with dementia didn't have dementia. Then they told us that the woman who was an idiot wasn't an idiot. And then finally we broke it. And now our ascension, in essence, is here. And how did that happen? Well, it happened because they pushed us so damn far, we could have dealt with a lot of bullshit, but they pushed us so damn far that finally some good people woke up. We'll have more on those good people in just a moment. But first, let me talk to you about Lumen. Me. Let me tell you guys about Lumen. Lumen is the world's first handheld metabolic coach.

Thank you, Lumen, for sponsoring this episode. All right, so what's going on here? Well, that wide tent thing that I've wanted and screamed about and yelled about and begged for for years has happened. It is here and now. We got to strengthen it. You don't just. You don't just get the win and move on. Now it's like, oh, we got to really figure out how do we work together the work. As the left always says, we gotta put in the work. The work is about here. Like, we're about to start the work. The guy's not even president yet, right? We got two and a half months where it looks like the Dems are gonna try to start World War Three before Trump becomes president. And then the work begins. Obviously, work has begun with the transition team and everything else, but the real work, once you got the job, that doesn't start till the beginning of next year. I wanna show you this tweet. It's just a random Twitter account. Lauraego Chiaga made a good point. I like calling out these random accounts. She wrote this. Every person in this photo was once a Democrat. Let that sink in. Elon's building Mars colonies. Tulsi's torching the woke mob. RFK juniors dismantling Big Pharma. And Trump. Well, Trump is Trump. It's not a party anymore. It's a movement. And I think that line really captures it right when. When you're talking to your friends, and they're still Trump deranged or they don't get what's going on here. You know, one of the main lines that people were saying for a couple weeks leading up to the election, people who were definitely not, you know, traditional Republicans, the line that sort of became ubiquitous was like, oh, well, I'm not exactly voting for Trump. I'm voting for Vivek and Elon and Tulsi and rfk. I'm voting for a team. Well, that is true. And that means this really isn't about the Republican Party. Right? It doesn't matter if you consider yourself a member of the Republican Party. There might be some granular reasons to do that, depending on the state you're in in terms of how they run their primary and if you're allowed to vote, if they have closed primaries. But putting that aside, the idea here is now there is something much bigger and broader happening in the world. It's happening culturally, and it's happening to our political machinery right this moment. So let's dive into some of those people, all whom either were. Two of those people ran for president as a Democrat. One of them, rfk just a year this last cycle, Tulsi the cycle before then you've got Elon, who was a Democrat his entire life. So what's going on here? Well, now Trump is taking all of these disaffected people who just love America, something that used to be pretty damn cool and is going to be cool again, and he's bringing them in. So my good friend Tulsi Gabbard, she is going to be the Director of National Intelligence. We got a lot of news breaking right now, folks. This one is the latest. President Elect Trump has nominated former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to be the next Director of National Intelligence. DNI is the shorthand for that role. She is a former Democrat. She supported President Trump and became a Republican over the course of this election. She's a lieutenant colonel in the military, and she was very omnipresent along the election campaign. You see images of her here with President Elect Trump. So, of course, everyone that we're about to show you the that have been announced by Trump, they're gonna have to be confirmed, of course. So these are just the choices we'll see. My guess is almost everybody's gonna get through. I think there's some questions around Gates, probably which we'll get to in a moment. But just on a side note for a second, Tulsi is one of the most Lovely, decent human beings I have ever met in my entire life. Not only obviously are our political journeys similar. Both former Dems libs and now have become part of this thing and really, I would say right in the center of it. But I know her well. We have had many, many meals together. She's played with my kids. She is just a great, great human being. And she deeply, deeply loves this country. And that is the type of person that we need in government. We also need someone in government who knows what they believe and why they believe it and doesn't just get a job because of a skin color or who they sleep with or something else. I thought this was a nice moment. This is from when Tulsi just four plus years ago was running as a Democrat against, you know, it's Elizabeth Warren and Biden, obviously, and Pete and the rest of them. And here she gets into a little debate with Pete Buttigieg over foreign policy and national intelligence. You know, do you talk to the bad guys? But your point about judgment is absolutely correct. Our commander in chief does need to have good judgment. And what you've just pointed out is that you would lack the courage to meet with both adversaries and friends to ensure the peace and national security of our nation. I take the example of those leaders who have come before us. Leaders like jfk, who met with Khrushchev, like Roosevelt, who met with Stalin, like Donald Trump, who met, like Reagan, who met and worked with Gorbachev. These issues of, of national security are incredibly important. I will meet with and do what is necessary to make sure that no more of our brothers and sisters in uniform are needlessly sent into harm's way fighting regime change, wars that undermine our national security. I'll bring real leadership and experience to the White House. As great as it is listening to Tulsi and she's so thoughtful in the way she speaks and everything else, just watching Pete with his dumb stare. And yes, Donald Trump did meet with Kim in North Korea, and guess what? It didn't cause World War 3. I think it is possible had Donald Trump had another administration, maybe Covid doesn't happen, whatever else, like maybe there would be more movement with North Korea. But in essence, what she's saying is you meet with bad people because bad people are the ones you can hopefully make peace with. It doesn't mean that they are good. There's all sorts of philosophies as it relates to foreign policy and how you go ahead and put pressure on regimes and sanctions and having a strong military and all of those things. But the idea that Tulsi is pro war, and we'll have more on that in just a second because the implication that Buttigieg was thrown out there is that somehow that she'll talk to these people and get bamboozled with them and that will lead us to a worse place and a less safe world is completely absurd. By the way, she is a lieutenant colonel in the military, currently serving. Even just a few weeks ago, she's down. I think she was in North Carolina doing training. She's absolutely the real deal. And speaking of the real deal, another part of this Avengers team is Robert F. Kennedy. Obviously. This is a tweet from Donald Trump. I'm thrilled to announce RFK Jr. As the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services. For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation and disinformation when it comes to public health. The safety and health of all Americans is the most important role of any administration. And HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming health crisis in this country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these agencies to the traditions of gold standard scientific research and beacons of transparency to end the chronic disease epidemic and make America great and healthy again. And clearly, guys, this move by Trump, the Trump RFK alliance, really can't be understated. One thing that's. I was thinking about this over the weekend that's sort of interesting is I haven't seen any articles written or anyone going out there really trying to quantify how many people did RFK actually bring over to Trump. I'm not just talking about the new, the wide tent people. Right? Like, so we can all kind of figure, oh, I like Tulsi, I came around, or I was listening to Dave, or I like Rogan and I came around. But rfk, you know, for the most part, when he was running, when he was actually still running, before he endorsed Trump, he was always polling around 15 to 20%. Did he move 5% of the electorate? Why has that not been written about? I'd love to find out a little bit more about that. Anyway, RFK responded to Trump on Twitter and said, thank you, Donald Trump, for your leadership and courage. I'm committed to advancing your vision to make America healthy again. We have a generational opportunity to bring together the greatest minds in science, medicine, industry and government to put an end to the chronic disease epidemic. I look forward to working with more than 80,000 employees at HHS to free the agencies from the smothering cloud of corporate capture so they can pursue their mission to make Americans once again the healthiest people on earth. Together, we will clean up corruption, stop the revolving door between industry and government, and return our health agencies to their rich standard of gold standard rich tradition of gold standard evidence based science. I will provide Americans with transparency and access to all the data so they can make informed choices for themselves and their families. My commitment to the American people is to be an honest public servant. Let's go, guys. This is what his entire life has led to. A man whose father was killed, whose uncle was killed, who ran for president as a Democrat to ultimately leave the party because he saw the opportunity in Donald Trump for generational change. He is, for entire life, his entire life he has been obsessed with what is wrong with us. Why are our kids so fat? Why are rates of autism exploding? What is going on in this country? And now he has a chance to do it. It does not mean he's right about everything or perfect with everything or anything else. But you can see the pieces. What have we all wanted in government, right? We've wanted more transparency, we've wanted more openness. We wanted competent people. And instead of having, oh, you can be in charge of the nuclear codes because you chopped off your genitals, we're going to actually get people who are qualified to do things and by the way, have lived through the fights so that they'll be ready to deal with the fights that are going to be coming. As you know, RFK has been doing this for quite some time. Here he is, this is about a year and a half ago, testifying before Congress and ripping apart the hhs, the very agency he's now going to lead over the COVID vaccine many years to find a prelicensing safety trial of any of the 72 vaccines, doses that are now essentially mandated. They're recommended, but that's effectively mandated for American children. And we have not been able to find any and every other medication requires prior to licensing by FDA at the company. Perform a safety trial that compares health outcomes in a placebo group and a similar situation vaccine group. My assumption was that was done for vaccines. We found out that it hadn't been, that it was not. It was, they were exempt. And I made that statement publicly. Dr. Fauci contradicted me. And when President Trump ordered him to meet with me and Francis Collins and a group of my colleagues, I said to them at that time. You've said publicly that I've been dishonest about that. Can you show us a single pre licensing safety trial, placebo controlled safety trial for any of the 72 vaccines required for American children? And he made that show of looking through a file and he said, well, they're back in Bethesda. And I said, will you send them to me? And I never heard from him again. So we sued the HHS under the Freedom of Information Law. After a year of litigation, they sent us a letter which is posted on CHD's website and acknowledges that they are now not able to locate a single pre licensed safety trial, placebo control for any of the vaccines that are now mandated for children. These are zero liability vaccines. Many years to find a Zen goes that clip. We're going to cut it a little bit short just for brevity sake, but you get the point. Not only how, I mean, really think how actually cool. And what a great hero's story this is. The guy has been fighting to clean up our water and our environment and our foods his entire life, right? He's been now suing, he has sued repeatedly, the hhs, he's dealt with Fauci, all of these things. And now the end. It's not exactly the end, but the next step in his hero's journey is that he's going to take over the very agency that we, guys, we all know. Regardless of where you fall exactly on vaccine schedules for kids and exactly what happened with COVID and everything else, clearly it has become obvious to almost everyone that has any neurons firing in their brain that these giant agencies have become way too big. They do not serve the interests of the American people. And as he referenced, we have this insane revolving door or where you get people who work at the pharmaceutical industry companies and then basically run the agencies. And that might be a bit of a problem. So, okay, so I would say he's 2 for 2. DNI going to Tulsi, HHS going to RFK Jr. And now the Secretary of State is going to be our Florida Senator, Marco Rubio. This is a tweet from Marco. Leading the U.S. department of State is a tremendous responsibility, and I am honored by the trust President Trump has placed in me as Secretary of State. I will work every day to carry out his foreign policy agenda. Under the leadership of President Trump, we will deliver peace through strength and always put the interests of Americans and America above all else. I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the U.S. senate. So the President has His national security and foreign policy team in place when he takes office on January 20th. I think Rubio is an absolutely fantastic choice for this. And if you think back to where we were eight years ago, do you remember when Donald Trump was running for president in the Republican primary the first time, one of his main opponents in that was Marco, right? Little Marco Rubio. And he was always making fun of Marco for his dry mouth and that he used to take a lot of sips of water to deal with that. And here they are now, eight years later. Eight years later, and Trump is now trusting him with, I would say, at least one of the top three most important jobs, right. You, especially in a world that's a little topsy turvy at the moment. Russia, Ukraine, everything going on in the Middle east and everything else. Rubio is a serious dude. He's a serious politician. I also, I've interviewed him many times and gotten to know him quite, quite a bit. This might be the most important job in the entire administration, just relative to what's going on in the world. I think he's ready to do it. He also has, if you haven't seen any of my interviews with him, I mean, just his story about his father coming here from Cuba and working in the back room of a restaurant, you know, cleaning dishes and always telling him and his dad taking him to work and always telling him, in America you can do anything. And then eventually he became a senator and now he's going to be a Secretary of State. I just think is just all star level again. It's the hero's journey that we're seeing completed here. You could see the version, I just said it with rfk, but you could see it sort of with Rubio, where he's going. You can see it with Tulsi, like she was part of the Dems, tried to run as a Dem, and now look what's happening to her. And let's jump over to the doj. This is a tweet from Florida. Well, Florida Congressman who I believe has just stepped down, Matt Gaetz. It will be an honor to serve as President Trump's Attorney General. And then, of course, here's Trump's statement on that. It is my great honor to announce that Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida is hereby nominated to be the Attorney General of the United States. Matt is a deeply gifted and tenacious attorney trained at the William and Mary College of Law who has dist. Distinguished himself in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform at the Department of Justice. Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan weaponization of our justice system. Matt will end weaponized government, protect our borders, dismantle criminal organizations, and restore Americans badly shattered faith and confidence in the Justice Department. On the House Judiciary Committee, which performs oversight of the doj, Matt played a key role in defeating the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax and exposing alarming and systemic government corruption and weaponization. He is a champion for the Constitution and the rule of law. Matt will root out the systemic corruption at the DOJ and return the department to its true mission of fighting crime and upholding our democracy and Constitution. We must have honesty, integrity, and transparency at the doj. Under Matt's leadership, all Americans will be proud of the state of the Department of Justice once again. So, look, this is the pick that, that, from what I'm seeing out there, most people are like, all right, this one feels a little bit weird because he's been invested, because Gates has been investigated by the doj. But Gates, whatever you think of Gates, whatever you think of his policies, whatever you think of his personality, like, this guy goes in and bangs things up. And clearly the doj, I mean, we're what, you know, we've had three years of this farcical, nonsensical goose chase over Donald Trump and all of these cases that have now disappeared, Right? Like the day after the election, they suddenly announced that the cases are gone. So Gates is somebody that's going to go in there and has reason to bang up the doj. So that's the one that some people are saying, maybe that one's not going to get through the Senate because there's a certain amount of senators, even on the Republican side that just don't like him. So let's just put a pin in that. The department that we should all be very, very excited for, of course, is Doge, which is the Department of Government Efficiency, which will be led by Elon Musk, who, yeah, is also sending us to Mars. To Mars. And Vivek Ramaswamy. Here is Vivek over the weekend talking about what kind of damage they are going to do to the deep state. Are you expecting to close down entire agencies like President Trump has talked about? The Department of Education, for example? Are you going to be closing down departments? We expect mass reductions. We expect certain agencies to be deleted outright. We expect mass reductions in force in areas of the federal government that are bloated. We expect massive cuts among federal contractors and others who are overbilling the federal government. So, yes, we expect all of the above. And I think people will be surprised by, I think, how quickly we're able to move with some of those changes given the legal backdrop the Supreme Court has given us. Guys, how cool that we're going to have serious people involved in government again, right? It does get to what I said earlier, because he's clearly not hiring people because of their genitals or their skin color or anything else. So I absolutely believe Vivek and I believe Elon when they're like, we're going to delete departments, we are going to fire tons of people, we're going to find all the missing money and the ridiculous inefficiencies and everything else. And by the way, once they do that, and they'll be called racists and bigots and Nazis along the way. Once they do that. And then the government looks a lot more slim and trim. Guess what? Not only will business really start flourishing, but you will have more money in your pocket because the government won't need need to take as much from you. So even if you're kind of like a limp wristed lefty right now and you're just like, oh my God, it's all so terrible, you might want more money in your pocket if nothing else, right? Like that. You probably even as the limp wristed lefty, you could get a. What do they do when you have that? They could get that wristband when you have carpal tunnel. You might want one of those to strengthen your wrist and you'd have more money to do it and that would be pretty good. Elon Musk tweeted this. All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency. Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know. We will also have a leaderboard for the most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining. Guys, this is what we've all wanted. Transparency. Where's the money going? Who are we hiring? What are they doing? Oh, it's not good. Delete that department. Oh, this department is doing a hell of a job. Let's fund them more. Expand it, figure out how to scale it. And we're going to do that all online. It's all going to be posted and seen and everything else. The meme makers of the Internet are having fun with Elon getting in there and cleaning things up. Enjoy. See if you can read this. You're fired. And in case your ears are get the out. Yes, that's AI before the censors come for us. But that's the point, guys. They are going to go in and be serious people, right? They're going to go in and fire people. And it doesn't mean that the people getting fired are all bad people. They're not. But we've got to change things and we finally have the team to do it. Let's focus a little bit on the people that are going to be hysterical as things get better because there are plenty of them and they're in the media and on the Democrat in the Democrat party.

All right, so you guys know my position. I think things are going to get better and I think things are going to get better really quickly. Kind of just like Vivek just implied. Like we don't realize how quickly things can get better when you have good people with. With. I would say, well, most people have good intentions. Of course, that's where the road to hell, what the road to hell is paved with. But good people who are competent with good intentions can do an awful lot of good. And I think things are going to change very quickly. We're seeing the cultural version of it. And I would say that, as you know, I want to focus on the positive things, right? The day that we've solved most of the problems, the day that we've Put the progressives out to pasture and things are largely right. I will come into this studio and I will say, guys, we're not turning on the computer machines. We're all just taking a walk today. And that'll be that. And it'll be a pleasure and a joy, and we'll find other things to do. Connor, what do you want to do? You want it to be an mlb? You want it to be a Major League baseball player? You can do it. Anything's possible. But of course, what's going to happen is that as things get better, the hysterical class is going to have to get more hysterical. And of course, that was always the danger. Don't call this guy Donald Trump. Don't call him Hitler when you know he's not Hitler, because that's a very tough corner to get out of once you've painted yourself into it. So here is over on the televised mental institution, the blonde lady, Joy Reid, who I'm told will not have a job much longer. And that's. That's a damn shame. She's so skilled though, it. She'll be able to do many other things, I would imagine. Here she is with aoc, who also is quickly becoming a relic of the past. And here they are talking about how Tulsi. Tulsi is pro war. This clip is so bananas. It belongs in the Rubin Report. Bananas hall of Fame. And we haven't even gotten to Tulsi Gabbard potentially having access to national security information. And Russia loves. It loves her. And I actually think almost more than Matt Gaetz. Tulsi Gabbard's appointment is devastating. And Tulsi Gabbard's nomination, as much as she says that she's an anti war person, she's not. Yeah. She supports very pro war individuals, including in Syria. And let's be very clear, a Tulsi Gabbard nomination is a pro war nomination globally, point blank period. As is Donald Trump as President of the United States. Monday, I had a nice weekend. I'm not going to say what I'm thinking. I will. Well, no, I will tell you what I'm thinking, but I will ease off the full destruction of that woman. You're right, aoc Actually, the Tulsi being part of this government is going to be devastating. It's going to be devastating for people like you because no one's going to listen to you anymore. By the way, pro war. You are absolutely on the endless money train for Zelensky in Ukraine. A war that they cannot win. They cannot beat Russia that's just a fact. Tulsi. Not only is she in the army right now, not only did she enlist, post 9 11, not only does she always talk about how we don't want to be nation building, and she's against the neocons. I don't know if you were to say to me, who is the most anti war politician that there is? She's not even a current politician, but it's probably Tulsi. So everything that she says there is complete 180 from the truth. Speaking of 180 from the truth. John Brennan, of course, Obama. CIA Director John Brennan. He's also making the rounds on MSNBC and he. He's going after Tulsi too. So let me just start with Tulsi Gabbard. Because you served as CIA Director for four years. What would having her in charge or in the role of Director of National Intelligence mean for the intelligence apparatus of the U.S. government? Well, I think there's so much uncertainty about what Ms. Gabbard would bring to the job. As you pointed out, she has been an apologist for Vladimir Putin, Bashar Assad. So many of her substantive comments, as well as previous actions, have called into question whether or not she has a good understanding of global politics and the US Role there. But also she doesn't have any experience in intelligence. Oh, I'm just going to say some prepackaged things and you could see in the deadness of my eyes that I don't really believe it. Things are going to be a little bit different under her. And I'm very afraid of that because I'm One of the 51 former intelligence officials who lied about Hunter Biden's laptop being Russian disinformation. Senator Mike Lee from Utah noted that as he retweeted the clip we just showed you there, and he said, we're the 51, quote, unquote professionals who dismissed Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation without any valid basis for saying that, and for the purpose of helping Joe Biden get elected in 2020. Apolitical? I think not. Where was John Brennan then? Oh, wait, he was one of them. So do you get what's happening here? John Brennan, who was one of those 51 intelligence officials who all need to lose. However, many of them are still working with the government or somehow connected to the government in some way. They all need to go away, right? All need to go away, but they trot out a CIA director who lied to the American people about a Russia hoax that basically got Trump booted from office. Right. And now he's up there saying that Tulsi Gabbard could be a little scary when it comes to national intelligence. A woman who's currently in the military, the trash Putin, Assad. It's just like buzzword drivel. Absolutely full of drivel. Speaking of drivel, a woman by the name of Cheryl Ifill, a former NAACP Legal Defense Fund president, went on the televised mental institution known as msnbc. And she talked to Chris Hayes, who is a muppet with his hand, someone's hand up his butt where it's unclear who it is. And here she is claiming that Pete Hegseth is a white supremacist. Add the secretary of defense nominee, Peter Hegseth, the Fox News commentator as well, because this is someone who, weekend host, important distinction. This is someone who, you know, is known to be a white supremacist, known to be an extremist whose platform, whose book is basically about his opposition to the advancement of black officers to the top brass. Okay, lady, hopefully we never have to play a video of this woman again. So I'm not even going to bother with her name. But the fact that they still, it's a week plus after the election that they still basically are getting up there and using these ridiculous. Yes, Pete Hegseth, who not only also just has an incredible pedigree and deserves this job. Right. Defense secretary. Not only does he deserve it, but that he's a weekend host on Fox. Yes, he's a white supremacist, too. He wants white people to reign supreme and that black people should have separate water fountains. It's completely and utterly absurd. It never ends. Phoenix, scroll up for me, would you? Let's jump over to CNN because MSNBC is like hanging on by a thread Comcast trying to sell them. I'm putting together a couple people. Everyone in this studio going to throw five or ten dollars in a bucket. We may buy msnbc. I'm not sure we'll see what happens with that. But over on cnn, which is also just purging numbers right now, and it's all dessert, you guys did it to yourselves. And I do want to thank you. I want to thank you as president of CEO of Rubin Report Enterprises because it's working for us. Over on cnn, Van Jones, a man who's constantly crying on Television, and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who also plays Dr. Sanjay Gupta in movies. Here they are fear mongering about rfk. He kind of was going out publicly contradicting Howard Lutnick and saying Trump has told me I can get essentially whatever I would like in this administration. I don't know what you want me to say. I am just at a loss because we're watching something happen in slow motion that is terrifying. You know, the reason we have a great country is because there are pillars in place, there are columns and structures just like in your house, columns and pillars that you don't see. But they keep things in a good place, they keep things in a good direction. We have healthy children because there are people who have made sure that there are things in place for that. And right now we are seeing termites unleashed on everything. And this is a termite appointment. We know for sure that Bobby Kennedy is a vaccine denier. He's a vaccine denier. Denier. He denies being a denier, but he is a denier and he is going to do great harm. And when you drive down trusted institutions, democracy only works in a high trust environment. When you make everything political, when you make everything negative, when you cast doubts and dispersions, eventually people have to rely on strong men. And so we're in a process right now that's just heartbreaking. And you know, it turns out that Donald Trump wasn't telling the truth when he said he wasn't for Project 2025. And that guy on your show wasn't telling the truth when he said that Bobby wouldn't get HHS to steer clear of politics. But this really isn't about politics because this is somebody who has been Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Who has been pushing quackery, who has been pushing lies, who has been pushing conspiracy theories. You've been talking to experts in the health community, the medical community, Preparing for him, RFK Jr to be given some sort of role in health. What have they said to you? Well, you know, it's not often that the entire medical and public health community is going to be in lockstep on something, but they're pretty close on this in terms of their significant concerns. Horror even. Somebody said to me today, I can't think of any single individual who be more damaging to public health than rfk. I can think of somebody who might be more damaging to public health than rfk. His name is Sanjay Gupta, who you might remember, this was once pushing Ribberin on us circulating on the Internet, that in India and elsewhere, the drug Ribavaran has been shown to be effective against this virus. Yet Homeland Security is telling the CDC not to make any announcements until stockpiles of the drug can be secured. Dr. Gupta, there continue to be evaluations of several drugs Ribavarin is among them. But right now, our best defense has been social distancing. No handshaking, staying home when you're sick, washing your hands frequently. Guys, you get it. River Varian didn't even exist because that's the movie contagion. He's playing himself in a movie because they're all actors. Let's jump back for just a second. Van Jones, the line, democracy only works in a high antitrust environment. It's you mfers who have blown trust apart. You guys have lied about absolutely everything. Why are there pictures of you smiling with Donald Trump in the White House? And now you basically say he's a Nazi? Because you're a liar. A highly emotive, and it's very impressive the way you can shed your crocodile tears. I wish I could do it. Liar. As for Sanjay, my God. And Jake, Jake is the worst. You know Jake Tapper when he's such a tool of the machine that at the beginning of RFK running for president when he was still a Democrat, we played you that video where RFK was like, this guy's such a conspiracy theory. Jake Tapper said of rfk, this guy's such a conspiracy theorist, we're not even gonna put him on our show. So Jake thinks that RFK is not even worth talking to. And my God, it's so upsetting. Sanjay, some of your friends who work for River Baron and all the other drug companies, companies, they're upset that RFK is going in there and going to smack them down and suddenly the profits are going to dry up and you'll be exposed for the crackpot that you are. If you want to see how hard they're going on rfk, because this is the crazy one. Because it's one thing to confuse people about Russia, Russia, Russia, something like that. That's how they're going to try to go after Tulsi. Like that's obvious. But you can really freak people out when it comes to their health, Right? That's what Covid taught us. You get people to do crazy things, rat out on their neighbors, stay home, inject their children with shit and everything else. Check this out from the New York Times. This is wild. This is from Jason Howard over on the Twitter machine. Read this fact check on Robert Kennedy Jr. From the New York Times and tell me with a straight face, we don't need a radical transformation of our media and health agencies. Now listen to this, guys. This is directly from the New York Times. Yesterday, Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the US version. But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same although. Although Canada's has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the US product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as butylated hydroxy or BHT, a lab made chemical that is used for freshness according to the ingredient label. Connor, leave that up for me for a moment. Do you read this is how they have broken brains. The New York Times is implying that Kennedy is lying about this and in the next sentence they tell you he's exactly right. That yes, oh well, it's roughly the same, although Canada's does have natural colorings and there's a whole bunch of crazy chemicals in our kids cereal. And then you wonder why these people are hysterical because they have been brainwashed by the New York Times, they've been brainwashed by MSNBC and CNN and then every now and again reality smacks them in the face. Why is my children so sick? Why am I such a fat fuck? Why is my wife uninterested in having sex with me and it turns out she has a penis? Because you people did all of this to yourselves and we'd like to welcome you to this side of things and it's just going to take a little time to get you there. Of course the other thing that RFK has been on and on about not just going after Froot Loops because of the poisoning of the children, which the New York Times upset with. He also doesn't want you to have too many seed oils because seed oils are also killing us. Here's a quote from the New York Times what RFK Jr gets right and wrong about nutrition. We've fact checked five of his most repeated claims seed oils. His claim Americans are being unknowingly poisoned by seed oils like canola, soybean and sunflower oils and it would be healthier for restaurants to fry food in beef tallow instead. What the research suggests the claim that seed oils are harmful to health is false. Nutrition experts say. Oh, a nutrition expert said it. Decades of research have shown us that seed oils are not only safe, but the heart healthy unsaturated fats they contain have been linked with reduced risks for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and earlier death. Seed oils are far better choice for health than solid fat alternatives like beef tallow, butter or lard, which are high in saturated fats. Guys, listen, I really want you to do your own research. Do not take my word for this. If you want to listen to some of the interviews I've done lately with Cali Means or Paul Saladino or Jillian Michaels, like, there are so many experts who are out and ahead on this stuff. We cook in butter. We cook in tallow in this house. We use olive oil and avocado oil for things like salad because you don't want to heat them up too much. There is so much evidence about all this. Watch. Was it my interview? I think it was with Paul Saladino, where he goes into how canola oil is made. Like it is so unbelievably highly toxic. And we are putting so much of this into our bodies. And why does the New York Times not want you to understand that? Think about that for just a moment while I talk to you about Rumble Premium, and then we'll do more when we get back to this show. When Rumble first started in 2013, they built the platform for the small creator. They didn't censor or have biases. They were fair and treated all creators equally. No one thought platforms would censor political conversation or censor opinions around Covid, but they did. Facebook admitted they fell to pressure from the Biden and Harris administration. Of course, Rumble did not. They held the line. They're attacked daily for giving us a voice to talk to you. They're attacked in corporate media. They're attacked by governments like France. They're attacked by brand advertisers who refuse to work with them. Corporate America is fighting to remove free speech while Rumble is fighting to keep it. Rumble won't survive with brand advertisers alone. They don't get much of it. So watching our show is the number one way we can ask for support from you. But if you really believe in this fight and you have the means, one major way you can help Rumble survive is by joining Rumble Premium. Join the community that believes in the First Amendment and believes in our human right to free speech. Rumble is offering $10 off with promo code Ruben. When you purchase an annual subscription, go to rumble.com premium rubin and use code Rubin. Like I said, if you have the means and believe in the cause, now is the time to join Rumble Premium. If you don't have the means, we're just happy if you watch us right here on Rumble. All right, so as I just said, when it comes to seed oils and what you're putting in your body and things of that nature, don't take my word for it. Listen to some experts, but don't just follow what the New York Times says and double Check things back, check things, talk to your doctor, et cetera, et cetera. I would also say when it comes to chopping off your genitals, don't just listen to the New York Times or msnbc. Talk to your doctor. You probably don't want to talk to your doctor. It depends what state you live in. But think about your genitals and think if you really want to detach them and live a life like that, you just have to put a little thought into it. Because of course, the other thing happening right now is that as the left, which always refuses to look in a mirror and doubles down on things, they're still going with this chop the genitals off the kids bullshit. Here is Jen Psaki over on the televised mental institution known as msnbc. Once again, she's still doing it. I cannot believe she still wants to see boys kick the shit out of girls in wrestling. Sadistic, twisted bitch. There's obviously a lot of soul searching right now going on within the Democratic Party, and that's a good thing. But what I worry about is that in the course of all that soul searching, some Democrats might reach the wrong sweeping conclusions. And there are a lot of issues that fall into that bucket. But one in particular that stuck out to me is transgender rights. Another one of the lines that ran over and over again in those ads and throughout right wing media is this idea that America is faced with a crisis of boys playing in girls sports. Now, these ads created this perception that the issues of trans kids playing sports was dominating schools across the country, which is completely false. Some people got pulled into that argument. I mean, immediately after the election, Congressman Seth Moulton told the New York Times that, quote, democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face. I have two little girls. I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete. But as a Democrat, I'm supposed to be afraid to say that, look, reflection is good. But if that were actually an issue at thousands of schools across the country, it would be worthy of a debate. But there are just incredibly few examples of transgender girls playing in youth sports. And when we see those examples, there isn't evidence that these kids are a threat to safety or fairness. Again, everything she said there is a lie that is gaslighting at the highest possible level. You guys, you on MSNBC for years have been pushing this shit down our throats. You guys are the ones every day, they saying that trans rights are under Attack. And trans kids are under attack. And don't say gay in Florida. And we can't teach kids how to give blowjobs. And we're upset about that. Like, you guys did all of this. Enough of us push back on it, and now you're pretending it didn't even exist. It's. It's absolutely extraordinary. And yes, I would welcome Democrats to suddenly be like, you know, I did kind of think that chopping off my son's genitals and having him kick the shit out of some girl in lacrosse wasn't the best idea, but I was a little afraid to say it. But now I'm gonna say it, so I know. Keep going. Psaki. Keep going. Does she have sons or daughters? It doesn't even matter. I don't drag her kids into it. But you get the point. But it's not just here, here's quote unquote comedian John Oliver ads on that one issue. And it was frustrating to see the Harris campaign fail to formulate a response, especially because it's pretty easy to do. Watch. I'll do it for you right now. As we've discussed before, there are vanishingly few trans girls competing in high schools anywhere. Even if there were more trans kids, like all kids, vary in athletic ability, and there is no evidence they pose any threat to safety or fairness. It is very weird for you to be so focused on this subject. And finally, if you genuinely want to address the biggest concern for most girls who play high school sports, you'd be less worried about this and more about the creepy assistant volleyball coach who keeps liking their posts on Instagram. Huh? Is that where the laugh came in? Yeah, that creepy teacher. He's probably a Democrat, right? He's probably a Democrat, and he's probably donating money to the teachers unions and the rest of it. Again, why are. Why are they so dismissive of young girls? Young girls who just want to play sports. Right? And this has nothing to do with trans rights. Trans people have every. You have every right as an adult to do whatever you want with your body, wear whatever clothes you want and call yourself whatever name you want. But we don't need to be pushing this crap on children. And if you would like to see perhaps the most insane headline that we have ever read on this show. I saw this yesterday. A friend sent it to me, and I thought it was Photoshopped. That's how absolutely insane it is. And yet you're going to read it right now. You're going to hear it and see it and realize that it's fairly obvious. This is from the New York Post. Governor J.B. pritzker vows Illinois will boost sex changes after decisive Trump victory. Guys, Trump has won. Who wants to take their boobs off? We're lopping off penises. Get buy one, get one free. Absolutely insane. We've made it 55 minutes into the program without talking about the View, which might be a record. Whoopi Goldberg, she's going to be holding sex from whoever she might be having sex with. The world breathes a collective sigh of relief. I dare. Yeah, you. You didn't get here by yourself, man. You can't do this without us. And if we don't let you, you don't get any. It's that simple. It's that. That simple. Oh, no. Whoopi Goldberg's shutting it down. You know, I've never really understood gay pride. I've truly never understood what gay pride is. But I think in that, I think I just figured it out, because the idea of Whoopi Goldberg sitting in front of me, like, legs open. Whoopi Goldberg. I'm actually. Now I understand what gay pride is. It's pretty. I've never been prouder than I am right now. They have broken brains, as you know. They have broken brains, and not only have they broken brains, they then send broken brain people into the schools to teach your kids. This is. This is a wild story. So this is video of a Connecticut public school teacher basically breaking down on this news program because she was threatening to kill Trump supporters. You know, but she's the victim. If you voted for Trump, literally, please delete me, block me, get rid of everything of me, or step to me so that I know what's up, and then I can handle you how I see fit. Just because you won doesn't mean we don't remember who the blank you voted for. You're not in the clear. Please, please don't test your gangster on me, because you will end on a stretcher gone forever. What does that mean? Exactly? Yeah. So that sounds like a threat. It sounds very extreme. And again, I was in a moment of high emotions, and I shouldn't have ever posted the video. But what I really. The message I was trying to get across, and it came off very wrong, was, you know, if this is going to give people the almost permission in their minds to enact violence against women or anybody, I wanted to basically just say, like, I'm not going to go down without a fight. I mean, you know, it's my life's dream to be a Teacher. I consider those kids my kids because I don't have any of my own. And they fill that for me. And I just, it's so fulfilling. It's so rewarding. And I really, I know that what people see right now, I don't look like that person, but I truly would do anything to help any child and any family in need. Wow. I mean, there's so much there. The line about she doesn't have her own kids, so she has these kids, and that fills her fur. That is someone who should not be a teacher. That is someone who should probably not be anywhere near kids. And the violent rhetoric she's conjuring up. It's like, you know, Donald Trump's been president elect for a week and a half. Are a lot of women getting beaten because of that? It's, it's, of course, it's all absurd. But you see the reason I'm showing you that it doesn't matter. We'll never show you a video of her again. It's not even worth saying her name. But that this is what has happened to all of our institutions. We have put, we have put people with broken brains in charge of the institutions they have been teaching our children. We see this mental, this mental collapse across society right now, and we wonder how it happened. Well, the adults are back suddenly and we're going to have to negotiate how to deal with the crazy people as the adults are in charge. Now, let's talk about whatever sliver of the left still exists that is not bananas. Now, what I would like to see them do is just move over to the wide 10 thing. What I think some of them are going to do is try to see if you, you can still play with the crazy people. So you can sort of guess where I'm going with this. Bill Maher on Real Time on Friday. Although he voted Democrat and does not want Donald Trump to be president and everything else, he is trying to take a sane position from the left and call them out on their bs. And whether I agree with the conclusion or not, that is worth doing. You seen my in this house, we believe lawn sign. See, it says right on it. We believe in science. Right, which is why you demanded no one even debate whether Covid could have escaped from the one lab in the one city where they were studying it. How far fetched. The New York Times called it racist. Democrats have become like a royal family that because of so much incest, has unfortunately had children who are retarded. And the same thing can happen to ideas if they are Also conceived in an atmosphere of intellectual incest. Maybe take the clothespins off your noses and actually converse with the other half of the country. Stop screaming at people to get with the program and instead make a program worth getting with. What good is liberalism if you don't? Elections. Last week, Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton said, I have two little girls. I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a formerly male athlete. But as a Democrat, I'm supposed to be afraid to say that, yes, there's the problem in a nutshell, because Congressman Moulton sounds reasonable to me, but his campaign manager immediately resigned in protest. Let me make this as plain as I can to the smart people. The campaign manager who resigned. Yeah, let that person go. Marginalize that guy. Yeah. Those are the people who should be marginalized. Unfortunately, that's where the energy of the party is. And I think as time goes on, unfortunately, Bill, there will be just less and less room for you there. And then what's going to happen on the other side, and this is where I think there. There will be some connection points, is that as Doge goes in there and blows apart the agency so we can get a proper assessment over what happened with COVID or as we break up these institutions that are lying to kids about the transgender stuff you just were talking about there and all those other things, you will see that. You will see that promised land over there. And Bill, because I know you care about truth, I think you're going to get there. As for the rest of them, kind of is what it is. Stephen A. Smith's another interesting one comes out of the sports world. Obviously, I'm not. I don't. Do we know which way he voted? In some ways, it doesn't matter. I don't think he voted for Trump, but he's been kind of coming around and here he is going off on Oprah, who it turns out we covered this on Friday, that she took a million bucks from. Or Harpo, her production company took a million bucks from the Kamala Harris campaign. It turns out they took 2.5 mil. She said she didn't take any money because she doesn't get the cash. It just goes to her production company. But anyway, here's Steve. Stephen A. On Oprah, all these celebrities, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Oprah. If we don't show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again. You're going to look an audience in the face and you're going to tell them that if you vote For Donald Trump, you may not ever be able to cast a vote again. Who believed that? Who believed that coming from Oprah, truly. Who believed that this is the kind of stuff that alienates an electorate, that alienates a vote or a voter, because the freedom that you tell them they have, you try to confiscate morally by letting them know you ain't worth a damn unless you vote the way we say you should vote. Who's going to go for that? In a general election with an economy rife with inflation, with over 12 million people coming across in the borders, with people wondering about their dollars, the dollars that they earn, the dollars that they have in their pocket, the value of that dollar dissipating before our very eyes. But in the same breath, you're telling them that you got to take even more money, money out of their pocket to finance immigrants that come across the border illegally at the behest of the Democratic Party looking to secure a voting bloc. Did you think that would work? Did you think that would work? I think I gotta do my analysis of Stephen A. Smith in the Stephen A. Smith voice because he's making a good point right there. It's the self righteous moralization that you people push on us that makes us crazy. You want us to pay for the illegals to get their sex cheat. He's of course right. He's of course right. I don't think he voted for Trump. But again, this will just be. There will be more and more people who will wake up to reality. We're almost at the close, but speaking of people waking up to reality. So New York City Mayor Eric Adams is an interesting character. You guys know I've been very, very critical of him. And one of my main reasons for being critical of him over the last couple years is that he allowed New York City to become a sanctuary city. That then led to the drugs and the homeless and all of the stuff. And then about, what was it about four or five months ago, he started coming out against it, saying that, you know, the sanctuary city situation is causing problems because of what I just laid out there. And then of course, the DOJ hits him with this investigation and that's pending right now. As this has all happened, Donald Trump posted something to the effect of, well, Eric Adams is learning what happens when you turn against the left. Well, now Eric Adams is suddenly defending Trump. So something interesting as it relates to these alliances that are not traditional is happening right now. Here is Eric Adams on the View. Mayor, when Trump returns to office, he will actually have a lot of power with the Republican controlled Senate and House. He suggested at times using the National Guard to target the enemy within. And key members of his last administration called him a fascist. But you've defended him. Can you explain? No, I defended the rhetoric that we're using across our country and what our children are listening to and what we're doing. We've reached a point in this country where we no longer want to engage in conversation. They were even calling him Hitler. That's an insult to. That was only his vice president. That was an insult. That was an insult to the millions of Jews and others who died. We know what Hitler did. And what I said to our country when I'm on the streets talking to my young people who are protesting on college campuses wearing Hamas of signs and calling for the destructions of groups. I said, we have to bring down this rhetoric. We have to start engaging in conversation. You know, Obama said it right. And I agree. This is not the divided state. This is the United States. We're the greatest country on the globe and people are watching us and calling, name calling. But do you think Trump should have brought down the rhetoric because he. Everybody should. Well, let's start at the top then, because maybe it trickles down. Everybody should. Everybody should. Okay, I'm showing you that clip not because he deserves some great credit. Look, Obama was more of a divider than anybody else and he definitely is the palpatine in the story, as I've been saying. But what I liked about that was he wasn't really taking the bait. The bait that they wanted to throw out there, which is exactly what Joy tried to end on, is just go after Trump. Don't say it has anything to do with the rest of us or the craziness on our side. And he wouldn't do it. And that is. And what. But what he's going to find. Now, Eric Adams, if you're watching the show, I'll talk directly to you, is as you go down this path, you are going to get more and more hate and dismissive looks. That look that Anna Navarro gave him, like, you're going to get more and more of that from that crew. And you know what you're going to find on the other side? Well, it's what you found in Madison Square Garden over this weekend. Yeah. That's what you're going to find. You're going to find yourself shaking hands with Donald Trump because he's not Hitler. And you rightly said that. And it is an affront to all of the people that Hitler killed. That they kept doing this. And of course, what has all of this led to as we roll into this final stretch here? What this has all led to right now, guys, is that reality is starting to win. This was the election over reality. And the people that are paying attention to these hysterical lunatics are diminishing. And if you want some evidence of that, this is just great. Like this is how do you make Dave Rubin happy on a Monday? Check this out From Mario Nafal CNN posts worst Tuesday ratings in 24 years CNN hit a 24 year low in the key 25 to 54 demographic average, just averaging just 61,000 viewers on November 11th. This marks its smallest Tuesday audience since June 2000. Daytime programming also struggled with only 60,000 average viewers, the worst non holiday weekday rating since 2014. Despite this post election news cycle, CNN trails far behind Fox News, which averaged 2.2 million total viewers compared to CNN's 403 since Election Day. And it gets worse even for MSNBC. MSC NBC gets less than 30,000 viewers on the weekends by Felicia Following Trump's 2024 victory, MSNBC's ratings have taken a sharp dive, with the network losing over half of its primetime audience since October. Key demos in the 25 to 54 age range are especially impacted, with some shows dropping below 75,000 viewers in primetime and fewer than 30,000 of those on weekends. Fox News, meanwhile, has surged just 61% in the same period, highlighting a major shift in viewer trends post election. Source, of course is the New York Post Mediate. And then I tweeted this out to Elon Idea Elon Musk, sell off the gains you made this week from Tesla, use the gains to acquire msnbc, dissolve msnbc, win Nobel Peace Prize. And just because I'm feeling like throwing a little dirt in their eye in the midst of all of this, how about we look right here and I can't show you my phone because it has some private email stuff on there, but the Rubin Report over the last 28 days. 1.100. Sorry, not 1.1 million, 100.102 million. Sorry, let me do that one more time. The Rubin Report over the last 28 days, 102 million views on YouTube alone. That doesn't include rumble, that doesn't include locals or anything else. And again, although I like to believe that we're doing something nicer and fun and different and all that, it's also because you people just lied. And we did not. A little bit more from Mario Major companies are returning to advertising on X IBM Disney, Comcast, Discovery, Warner Brothers and Lionsgate Entertainment have reportedly resumed ad campaigns on X after an almost year long boycott. The return is attributed to Linda, what's her name, Linda Yakarino, right after a leadership as she rebuilds trust and partnerships on the platform. That's from cnbc. So you see what happened here. They tried to. This wasn't just about destroying Trump, it was about destroying Elon and it was about destroying the entire movement. So they took all the money away, they did all the boycotts and all of those things. Now Trump won. In essence, Elon won, X won, you won, I won. And now the advertisers are all coming back because capitalism is the great equalizer. And allow my friend Greg Gutfeld to bring us home. On that note. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Everyone around you realizes, wow, this is more than a victory. In fact, it's transformational. It's not just that the Democrats were vanquished, but an entire age has closed the death of identity politics. It's there of race based reward and punishment, the tyranny of the aggrieved and a new age has started. And I echo Jesse again. I've never been more hopeful or optimistic in my life. This wasn't just an election, it was a turning point. And I want Democrats to thrive during this period. But the only way for the Democrats to be happy, whether they like it or not, is they have to think less about identity and more about the outside world. Start with your family and your friends and your spirituality. Don't listen to the view and tell what they say. You should cut off these people that disagree with you. That is a mistake. You see so many upset people right now and it's because they became obsessed about their identity, which feeds into your ego. And then when your ego takes a hit, you're miserable. So if you live outside yourself and you remove identity politics, you remove the fuel for your ego. Identity politics was a complicated word for me. Me, me. This is why when you saw people entrenched in it, they were so miserable, they were so blind they couldn't talk to other people. You know, if you replace that inner turmoil with curiosity and service for the outside world, you will be so much happier. Look at Greg Gutfeld channeling a little Jordan Peterson. Jordan often talks about that. You know, there's a Carl Jung clip quote that we've read to you a couple times over the last month or so that basically if you don't go on your life's adventure, if you don't realize, boy, the world's a little weird and messy and whatever, but go do something for yourself. What will you do? You will navel gaze. You will be obsessed by neurosis and crumble under the weight of your own nonsense. It's your moral obligation to pursue your life's passions. And instead what the left did was they told you this is a horrible place that's stacked against you and they're coming to get you. But thank God, about 13 days ago there was a freaking miracle and hope is back and America is back and you're back watching the Rubin Report and we appreciate it.
