The core of today's discussion centers on the recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, perpetrated by Mohammed Sabri Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national who overstayed his visa.

Media Representation of Terrorism vs. Gun Violence
Timestamp: [00:15:30]
Rubin critiques the mainstream media's portrayal of the Boulder attack, arguing that outlets like Fox News mischaracterized the incident as part of the ongoing gun violence epidemic rather than recognizing it as a terrorist act. He accuses the media of racial misrepresentation by implying the attacker is white, thereby diverting attention from the terrorism angle.
Quote:
"They imply that he is white. Then of course, they make it about guns and they make it about the Right."
— Dave Rubin [00:20:45]
He further criticizes political figures, such as Jamie Raskin, for downplaying the targeted nature of the attack, arguing that it was a deliberate act against Zionists rather than random violence. Rubin calls out whathe perceives as hypocrisy and deflection tactics within the media and political discourse.

Rubin draws a stark contrast between the immigration policies of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. He lauds Trump's stringent measures to curb illegal immigration and deport those with malicious intentions, while condemning Biden's administration for what he sees as an open-border policy that jeopardizes national security.
Quote:
"You cannot just murder people and get away with it. I know that seemingly is what the Democrats would want, but no more of this."
— Dave Rubin [00:30:20]
He highlights efforts by the current administration to deport illegal entrants, framing it as a necessary step to protect communities from further terrorist acts. Rubin underscores the bipartisan nature of the threat, mentioning recent attacks against both Jewish and Christian individuals, and urges a unified stance against domestic terrorism.
