Dave Rubin
Fellas, you know degree Cool Rush deodorant, right? Well, last year they changed the formula and guys were mad about it. One dude even started a petition. So guess what? Degree heard us, admitted they messed up and brought the original Cool Rush scent back exactly how it was. And it's in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. So grab some and remember why its cool, crisp and fresh scent made it the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. Degree Cool Rush is back and it smells like victory for all of us. President China says that if you drop your pants and let them see your hog, they'll consider removing some of their tariffs. And Secretary of State Marco Rubio has indicated that you are open to this proposal. Right. About that.
- [00:41]
Donald Trump
Well, I'm not going to drop them unless they give us something that's, you know, substantial. Otherwise, I'm not going to drop them. It'll all work out. Those things always work out.

Dave Rubin
Hell, yeah. Hello, hello. I'm your trusty neighborhood Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin Report. It's April 30th. I just had to ask the guys, how many days are in April? Because this year is flying by. That's right. It's May tomorrow. There are only 30 days in April, according to the team here. This is the Rubin Report. We are live streaming on rumble, on YouTube, on locals. I know you've already subscribed. I know you've already tapped that notification bell. I know you share all our videos. So I thank you very much. Post game show rubinreport.locals.com about 30 seconds after today's program. And, and you may have noticed that yesterday marked the first, the end of the first 100 days of the Trump presidency. And if you are a sane person who is thoughtful and paying attention to the news in a, let's say, I don't know, let's say kind of nuanced way, there's a lot of good stuff. It's the stuff we've been focusing on here. If you're a crazy person, you think that the country's imploding and that the fascists and the Nazis are knocking at the door, we will show you both versions of that. On today's show. We're gonna kick it off with Trump doing an ABC interview that, as always, just went testy. And when it gets testy with Trump, that is when he is at his best, then we'll connect that to some of the other America first things he's doing. Some of the great people he's Brought in like RFK and Cali means. And then a bit on the Democrat internal strife because the fight continues with this clown car o losers. But let's start with Donald Trump. Yesterday he was interviewed on ABC as part of his Hundred day tour. And Terry Moran. I'm kind of indifferent to this guy, I would say, although I was watching this interview going, man, this guy has some stupid ass questions. Like, we're going to play you a couple and just really try to think just how stupid these questions are. But whatever. I don't know his politics particularly. I mean, I think you can glean into it as usual. But here they are with Terry asking what he thinks the US Reputation is now that he's president, as if Trump would, well, you get the point. You know, it's pretty shitty. Go. Do you think the reputation of the.
- [03:07]
Donald Trump
United States has gone down under your presidency? No, I think it's gone way up. And I think we're a respected country again. We were left at all over the world, we had a president that couldn't walk up a flight of stairs, couldn't walk down a flight of stairs, couldn't walk across the stage without falling. We had a president that was grossly incompetent. You knew it, I knew it and everybody knew it. But you guys didn't want to write it because you fake news. All right, thank you. By the way, ABC is one of the worst, I have to be honest with you, the fighting. Don't you think he wants, you think.
- [03:39]
Dave Rubin
Vladimir Putin wants peace?
- [03:41]
Donald Trump
I think he does, yes. I think, yes. I think even with the raining missiles, I think he really, his, his, his dream was to take over the whole country. I think because of me, he's not going to do that. Do you trust, I think, do you trust him? I don't trust you. I don't trust, I don't trust a lot of people. I don't trust you. Look at you. You come in all shooting for Bear. You're so happ to do the interview and then you start hitting me with fake questions.
- [04:07]
Dave Rubin
I really, again, this is just Trump at his best. You might be watching that clip going, you know, Donnie, Donnie, why are you still doing this shit? You know that they're liars, you know that they're propagandists. You know that all that's coming. But I would say at this point, he's gotten so good at it and there's a certain calmness to him, even you can see it a little bit in the body language. He does lean over a lot with the hands kind of together like that. But there's a calmness to his voice and the way he's responding and throwing back at him that really shows he's in command right now. I mean, how stupid is that question? Do you think the US Reputation is worse? Like he's gonna like, yes, I do. You know, we tried hard. It's been a hundred days. We did everything we could do, but looks pretty bad. No. And actually his answer is right. The reputation of the United States is obviously better right now. We are showing the world that we are a serious country again. When he connects that to Biden being unable to walk and the stumbling and the bumbling and everything else, and then connects it to you. TERRY Moran, abc. You guys who ran cover for Completely correct, nobody knew. Look, you don't have to agree with everything that Donald Trump says or does, but nobody knew what the United States was for the four years around Joe Biden. We did not, we did not know ourselves. Like, is any of this real? Who's really in charge, etc. Etc. And our allies and the people who don't like us, we're all looking at it like, what the hell is going on over there? Now, 100 days in, we have a closed border. We're going to have a lot more on that. We are renegotiating the trade deals and there is a little bumpy stuff happening there. But we're a ser. We're deporting people. We're a serious country again and that obviously makes our reputation better. Countries, they don't have to like us. I mean, I think that's also, it's a little confusion of the mind of like a very simplistic thinker. You want everyone to like you, but you really don't want everyone to like you. What you'd rather, what would be better is you want people to respect you. Let's pretend it's a mafia movie. You don't want everyone to like you. If you, if everyone likes you, you're probably just a pushover. But if everyone respects you, boy, that person knows what he's doing. He's competent, he surrounds himself with good people. He has a vision for what he wants to see in the world and he acts according then that actually is good. Anyway, it continued with some silly questions and good answers by Trump.
- [06:24]
Donald Trump
Don't your tariffs cut against that promise you made to bring prices down? No, because I had mass of tariffs on China, if you remember, in my first term, and we had essentially no inflation, like around 1% inflation, which is like A perfect number. The. And then when Biden took over, it went through the roof. It went to the. Probably the worst inflation we've ever had. I mean, we had an inflation nightmare in 100 days. We took over that. We had bad inflation for four years. For two years of. Especially two years of his. His administration, I would say record setting like we've never seen. They say 48 years. The worst in 48 years. Energy is down. Gasoline hit $1.98 in a few states during the last couple of days. It was $3.50 and $4 and $4.50. But gasoline is way down. When I took over, you remember the big thing with eggs? They hit me the first week. Eggs, eggs, eggs. Like it was my fault. I said I didn't cause this problem. This problem was caused by Biden. What's the problem with eggs? And they said they've doubled and, well, eggs are down 87% since I got involved. A lot of that is, by the way. And there were plenty of eggs for Easter, which we just went through. There were plenty of eggs for Easter. They were saying, you won't have enough eggs for Easter. We ended our. My secretary did a fantastic job on eggs. Groceries are down, everything's down. Interest rates are the same. Interest rates should be down. But we have a Federal Reserve that wants to be stubborn. They want to be cute again.
- [08:01]
Dave Rubin
The question in and of itself is just silly. You promised prices were going to go down. Then you do this tariff thing. They have explained for endlessly at this point that the whole idea of the tariffs is to negotiate better deals and there's going to be a little pain point. But then everything else Trump said there, with his colorful way of speaking, is true. And also, again, there's a calmness to him. There's no notes in front of him. He knows what he's talking about. And don't forget how different things were one year ago with the President of the United States. It's just important not to forget that. But we did some checking. Like, we can't find any real products that have massively jumped in price. And Trump is right. They went crazy on him about eggs. That was the first thing. And it was because the Biden administration. How many chickens did they kill? Something like 2 million chickens. They did this massive culling of chickens, partly related because of bird flu. So egg prices did go up because you're not gonna believe where e eggs come from. They come from the chickens. What do they call that? The chicken. Do you know? The chicken only has one hole the chicken poops peas and whatever else they do out of. And Lorette lays the egg out of one hole. It's called the flute or something. What's the chicken hole called? Find me the chicken hole. It's not the flute. The. Come on, I got you. Look, the vent. I think it's called the vent. The cloaka. The chicken's got the cloak, and the cloaka is where it poops peas and the egg comes out of. Crazy. Crazy. So it can only get so many things out at once. That's the point. But everything else he said there was completely right and true. And don't even take my word for it. When you're going to the supermarket right now, are prices vastly up or. They are basically about the same. And then, by the way, he says interest rates are still too high. And he is right. Interest rates are high. If you want to borrow some money right now because you want to get a car or you want to buy a house or you want to do some renovations or whatever it might be, interest rates are still too high. They're still around 6, 7%, sometimes maybe even a little bit more, 8%. Obviously, some of that depends on your credit score, but that it would be great if that goes down when interest rates are low. That really is the thing that gets the economy going, because people can borrow money cheaply, and then you can start buying things and you can start building things, and you can build businesses, and you can borrow money to start doing new projects and all of these things. So he completely makes a concession there and says, we're working on it. Now, I want to show you two videos from Victor Davis Hansen. And Victor Davis Hansen has been, I would say, for years now, probably the leading thought leader when it comes to explaining Trump's policies. As far as someone who's not involved in the administration, he's an academic. Here he is talking about the Trump DEI fight and how Trump actually did something kind of brilliant in some sense, almost accidentally on the DEI front.
- [10:41]
Victor Davis Hanson
He didn't have to get into dei. That's the third rail. He just said it's over with because it violates the recent Supreme Court ruling that found that Harvard and the University of North Carolina were culpable for racist practices against Asian American applicants. The law is on Donald Trump's side. The court decisions are on Donald Trump's side. And now DEI is being purged from government auspices and private corporations. Everybody says, well, I'm Rip Van Winkle. Winkle. I woke up. What were we doing? We were doing exactly the Opposite of what Martin Luther King. We were judging people by the color of their skin, by their superficial appearance, not the content of their character. That is a revolution.
- [11:26]
Dave Rubin
All right, so, yes, we did get DEI out of the institutions. Now it's, it's still in some of the institutions because you still have people that you need to fire, departments that exists, you know, they rename things so they don't call it diversity, equity, inclusion anymore. They figure out other ways around it. We've seen people like president of Harvard and others be like, okay, well, we'll, we'll play along with this, but we'll still figure out other ways, other subjective ways so that when we get, you know, kids applications to college, we can still figure out a way to get involved with race and genitals and all of that nonsense. But the point is that Trump, he barely had to get involved in this. So the culture started shifting enough so that enough people were talking about it, so that enough cases went to courts as it pertained to girls in boys locker rooms or any of the other stuff. And things have started to turn around again. It's still here. Don't pretend that it's not. And it's definitely in blue states still, and it's still in some corporations. These things don't die overnight, but you take a win and you keep going. Now, obviously, the biggest win Trump has had in a hundred days is what's going on at the border, because our border is closed. About 10,000 people were crossing a day during Biden's administration and it's closed now. Here's Victor Davis Hansen on that.
- [12:42]
Victor Davis Hanson
He has completely reversed. 10,000 people coming in a day, over 300,000amonth, 12 million in four years, to essentially 97, 98% of the border is secure. In fact, there is no open border now. Now he has pivoted to try to address the 12 million people that Joe Biden not only let in, but scattered all over the United States on often state, federal, local subsidy. That's going to be a task. But he has shut the border. No comprehensive immigration reform. None of the things they said was necessary, none of the things that said that it was impossible, that hampered by. He just did it. We've never seen anything.
- [13:25]
Dave Rubin
Yeah, he did just do it. And remember, I think it was last week, we showed you a clip where Donald Trump said, we didn't need a bill, we needed a president. And that was. Right. You may remember a year and a half ago, or whatever it was when I was in D.C. for a couple days and we interviewed A whole bunch of senators and everybody was talking about this bipartisan deal. We need this bipartisan deal. Although people like Ted Cruz who I had on said, you don't need it, the President just needs to do something. But the meme out there in the mainstream meme was you need the bipartisan deal. But no, it turned out we didn't because Trump basically did it overnight. And now think about it. You can't solve all these things at once, right? You can't, you can't. You have to do these things strategically. So let's say it was, it was literally your house, the country is your house, and you have all sorts of problems. You got some people upstairs that are selling fentanyl. You got somebody in the kitchen that's trying to burn down the house because they don't know how to cook. You got a couple people over here and they're, I don't know, chopping off genitals or raping people. It's a big mess in the house. You had a party that went a little sideways, you know what I'm saying? Like, it was kind of like the hangover, but like on crack or fentanyl in this case. So everything's going crazy and you're trying to get control of things, figure out who's supposed to be in the house, who are these people, et cetera, et cetera. One thing you might want to start with, instead of just figuring out what's going on in the house, is, is the door just open? Does the door have a lock? Are the hinges blown off the door? Is there a door at all? Because everybody that you kick out, okay, three more people come in. So we've dealt with the first part of the problem, and now we're dealing with the deportations. And of course, the Democrats are going bananas about the deportations, which, by the way, are not going to stop, thank God. But we are doing it in some sequential order. Again, it's a level up version of Trump. 47 leveled up from 45 with a bunch of competent people around him. That's pretty good. You know what else is pretty good? Fast growing trees. Spring is here, and if you've been thinking about transforming the yard, now's the time to do it. So let me tell you about fast growing trees. They're the largest online nursery in the United states with over 2 million happy customers. What makes fast growing trees stand out is how easy they make the whole process.

That's fastgrowingtrees.com code Reuben. Now's the perfect time to plant. Don't wait until it's too hot or too late. Go save today. All right, so one of the heroes right now of the left, of course, is MS.13. Illegal gang member who lived in Maryland. Beat his wife with a boot. His name is Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He has been sent to El Salvador. And the Democrats are over in El Salvador trying to take a man who's not a citizen of the United States and take him out of his naturalized country and bring him back here. He's the big hero for everybody. Terry Moran over at ABC asked Trump about that, and they got into a rather comical conversation about the nature of tattoos.
- [16:39]
Donald Trump
He wasn't a member of a gang. And then they looked, and on his knuckles, he had MS.13.
- [16:46]
Dave Rubin
There's a dispute.
- [16:46]
Donald Trump
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. He had MS.13 on his knuckles?
- [16:51]
Dave Rubin
Oh, he had some tattoos that are interpreted that way. But let's move on.
- [16:54]
Donald Trump
Wait a minute. Okay, Terry, Terry, Terry. He did not have the letter M. MS.1. It says MS.13.
- [17:00]
Dave Rubin
That was photoshopped. So let me.
- [17:02]
Donald Trump
That was Photoshop. Terry. You can't do that. Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you're doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you. But that's okay. I picked you, Terry, but you're not being very nice. He had ms.13 tattoo.
- [17:16]
Dave Rubin
We'll agree to disagree.
- [17:17]
Donald Trump
I want to move on to something else. Terry, do you want me to show you the picture? I saw the picture. Well, here we go.
- [17:25]
Dave Rubin
Here we go.
- [17:25]
Donald Trump
Don't Photoshop it. Go look at his hand.
- [17:28]
Dave Rubin
He did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way.
- [17:30]
Donald Trump
I'm not an expert on them. I want to turn to Ukraine.
- [17:32]
Dave Rubin
I want to get to Ukraine.
- [17:33]
Donald Trump
No, no, no, no. He had M s as clear as you can be. Not interpreted. This is why people no longer believe. Well, the news. Because when he was photographed in El Salvador. In El Salvador, they aren't there, but let's just go.
- [17:48]
Dave Rubin
They aren't there when he's in El Salvador.
- [17:49]
Donald Trump
Oh, they want to take a look at the photo there now, right? No, but they're there in your picture. Terry Ukraine. Sir, he's got MS.13 on his knuckles. All right, okay, we'll take a look. It's. You do such a disservice. We'll take a look. Why don't you just say, yes, he does, and, you know, go on to something else contested.
- [18:08]
Dave Rubin
There were 86 more minutes of that. No, it basically ended right there. It is worth noting that, actually. So let's show you the tattoo right now. So this is the tattoo that the guy has now. You can see him shaking Van Hollen's hand right there. Now, what you're seeing on his hand, the MS.13 that you're seeing, that was photoshopped on because it's representative of what these images are, so that it's known in the. In the gang world. In the MS.13 gang world. It's sort of what I was joking about a couple weeks ago. You don't get a laminated card. Bob. He's in Ms. 13 now. Get him a laminated card so he can show everybody. They don't put that. It's not so literal. But what they do do is you put a marijuana leaf. That is the M, the smiley face, the son Risa. That is the S. The cross is the one, and the skull. Craneo C is the third letter. It's sort of like a secret handshake like that. Right? They don't. You don't get. He's in Ms. Did you give him the handbook? Get him the handbook so he knows it. That's just not how it works. So, yes, I will do this as honestly as ever. Trump is wrong in that it does not literally have MS.13. That is true. So he perhaps could have said that a little bit better. But again, I also love the fact that Trump said, I picked you because I don't know who you are. It's just like. It's just such a great little insult. But again, it's just like they're just arguing over nothing. How about Terry Moran? Where were you for four years? And if you did do any of these videos, I'd be happy to show them. Were you doing videos about the 10 to 12 to 15 million people that came in illegally, the 10,000 people that came in illegally over the years? Were you covering extensively the murders and the rapes and the fentanyl and everything else? But now you're really upset because marijuana and M are. You know, if you want to whittle the difference down between that. Anyway, if you want a little bit more on the guy that they are defending. I told you, he beat his wife with a boot. That's in a court document that she filed herself. Listen to this from Benny Johnson. Wow. Would you look that? In 2018, Kilmar Abrego, Garcia's wife's ex husband, warned in court that his kids were in danger because she's in a relationship with a gang member. This is the guy Democrats are protecting and fighting for. So her ex husband, ex husband says that he was a gang member. She herself said that she was beaten by him multiple times, including with the boot. And now she's kind of hedging her bets on that. So at the very least, this is probably not a great guy, whether it's literally MS.13 or it's the marijuana and the cross and the skull and the other thing. Speaking of not great people, Ilhan Omar, who is a jihadist, I firmly believe that she is here to destroy this country. She is a member of the Democrat Party, no surprise. And Here she is 100% violating her oath of office. Her oath of office is to protect the Constitution of the United States. Here she is saying she is going to. Well, she doesn't literally say it, but it's obvious what she's saying. That she's going to break her oath of office by protecting illegal immigrants. And when you do that, you're going against the laws of the United States, which are written in this old thing called the Constitution, which, yes, it was a bunch of white guys wrote, but they were pretty cool. Here you go. If they thought the first hundred days of chaos would break us, they were wrong. Because across this country, millions of us are standing up for our human rights and our democracy. Judges are fighting back to block these unconstitutional executive orders. Here in Congress, we are fighting back every single day. We are fighting to protect immigrant families from mass detention and deportation. We are fighting to prevent horrific cuts to Medicaid, snap, and Social Security. It won't be easy, but we must continue to organize, to speak out, and to build a future that reflects our highest ideals. All right, I don't know where the bucket is. Normally we have the bucket with her face on it that I can puke in during that. Maybe you can grab the Ilhan Omar puke bucket just in case anything comes up. By the end of my sentence, it's note she says she doesn't say illegal Immigrant families. She wants to protect immigrant families from deportation. Not illegal. Here, let's just put the bucket.
- [22:34]
Donald Trump
Thank you.
- [22:35]
Dave Rubin
Here's the bucket in case I vomit by the end of this thing. This is the Ilhan Omar official vomit bucket. So, once again, they just. They refuse to make the distinction between legal and illegal. If Donald Trump was rounding up legal family members because they disagreed with his politics or something like that, then I would be with you. There's a sentence I've never said and I'll probably never say again, but, no, we're talking about illegals. So you, by defending illegal people who have broke the laws of the United States to come here, you are breaking your oath of office. You also married your brother, and that seems like a problem at the very least. It's just not a great thing to do. But you did it for immigration purposes, and I have no doubt that you're offering material support to Hamas and a whole bunch of other stuff. So. So there's that. And then. Yes, well, then, of course, she does the meme, Right. We've talked about how they keep saying it's chaos. It was 100 days of chaos and escalation. There is no chaos and escalation. Unless she's talking about your base that's been burning down Tesla charging stations and etching swastikas into things. In the old days, it was the people that were putting the swastikas up that were the bad guys. But congratulations on that. And then as it pertains to cutting Social Security and things like that. Donald Trump's not cutting Social Security. He is looking through Doge for waste and fraud, et cetera, et cetera. No, I don't have to puke. I don't have to puke. You know, I just had water this morning. I'm doing a little. I'm doing a little intermittent fasting, so there's nothing really in my stomach to come up. Let's go to Scott and the retards. Immigration being tougher on it, the idea of patience and there being a method to the madness or the order of which they went about these arrests. Is Trump at risk for losing some credibility and capital in this particular arena?
- [24:23]
Scott Jennings
I don't think so. I have a different point of view. I actually think it's still their best issue. And I think when it all shakes out, what are they going to be able to say? Donald Trump effectively closed the southern border just by taking office and changing the attitude of the federal government. They have deported lots of violent criminals, and frankly, they are sending a Different message than the previous administration. You know, the old way was, hey, just get here and we'll find a way, and it'll probably work out for you. The new message is, don't come here. Please don't come here. And now people know that we mean it. When it all shakes out, I think we're going to find that Donald Trump inherited the biggest mess of all, was on immigration. He had the biggest cleanup job to do on it, and he ultimately did what he had to do to bring order to it. So I still think it's their best issue. I still think they're going to lean into it. And obviously, it's the issue that motivated his campaign way back in 2015 in the first place, and he stuck with it all the way through. I still think it's.
- [25:14]
Dave Rubin
You might be watching that clip going, Dave, we didn't get much of the retards, but. And also, that wasn't the normal show that he's on. He usually has the, you know, cadre of retards. This time it was just. He was just with one lady and Laura Coates over there. I would. So. But I would say that was a gratuitous, a slightly gratuitous use of that. But in some sense, you could argue that the question itself was retarded, because. And by the way, when I mean retarded, I don't mean mentally challenged. I mean, I mean it in the most literal sense of what we used to in the 80s mean by retarded. You are stunted, your growth is stunted, you are retarded. That's what we used to mean by that. We didn't mean it in some sort of like making fun of a handicap or something like that. And I think it's important occasionally to take some of these words back, which is why we do it. But the question itself, because she basically was like, oh, well, you know, are the methods and the order of which Trump's doing this, is that a problem? And it's like, lady, there is nothing Donald Trump could do that you would not criticize. So unless he was actively destroying the country, like Joe Biden was, you would be going after him. Right? So you don't like how he's going about deportations. How should he do it? Joe Biden let in these 10 to 15 million people. So how would you like it to be done? Should we go up to everybody and should. Well, you know, we'd like to. We're really sorry about the confusion when you walked over the border with the kids and the Fentanyl and everything. And we just like, no, it doesn't work that way. No matter what he was gonna do, they were gonna come after him. So it's just a silly, nonsensical question. And yes, Scott Jennings answer is completely right. The answer is right. This is a winner. People are even. It doesn't even matter what you think about the border in general or what you think about immigration in general. The average apolitical person, if you hear, you know, for four years we had about 10 million plus people come over the border, and now there's no people coming over the border. Like, the average person is like, oh, that's probably good. Like, it's, again, it's the 80, 20 thing that Trump is excelling at at the highest possible level. We'll have more on the things he's excelling at in a second. But first, Field of Greens. I'll be honest, guys. I do just about anything to avoid going to the doctor. But I also know how important it is to stay on top of my health, especially with regular labs and blood work. The truth is, a lot of people feel nervous about blood work and what it might reveal. That's why I made one simple lifestyle upgrade. Field of Greens. Field of Greens is a delicious doctor formulated superfood drink packed with fruits and vegetables that support your heart, liver, kidneys, metabolism and immune system.

All right, so let's get back to Trump. He's given rallies again. He's given combative interviews with people that he doesn't know who they are, apparently. And he's making, he's making a point, which is we didn't need him necessarily. We just needed someone who was competent, and we did not have someone competent before him.
- [28:21]
Donald Trump
Take a look. You finally have a president who is defending our borders and our nation. After decades of politicians who destroyed Detroit to build up Beijing, you finally have a champion for workers in the White House. And instead of putting China first, I'm putting Michigan first and I'm putting America first.
- [28:51]
Dave Rubin
Yeah. And just to clarify what I said at top, it's not that it didn't have to be. It's good that it's him, obviously. But all we needed was someone doing the basic things which are defending our borders and making sure that our trade deals are right and everything else. He happened to be the guy that was willing to walk through the freaking gauntlet with the giant ax swinging right through the middle, and he was willing to do it. So he deserves all the credit for that. Now let's jump over to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen, because here he is talking about how the tariffs that we have now put on China, which are extremely high, are unsustainable for China because if we stop buying Chinese crap because it no longer makes financial sense, because it's going to get hit with a big tariff, so then we start making more things here or other countries that now have more equitable deals with us. Equitable using. I'm using that word in the right way. Maybe they can start making stuff and then we'll buy things elsewhere that it ultimately will be bad for China because China will be left with tons of factories and workers that have nothing to do, thus lose jobs. And when you have millions of people in China that lose jobs, it ain't good for the communist regime. Go. Is the administration talking to Beijing specifically about tariffs or not?
- [30:01]
Scott Bessen
Well, we're not going to talk about who's talking to whom, but I think that, you know, over time we will see that the Chinese tariffs are unsustainable for China. I saw. I've seen some very large numbers over the past few days to show if these numbers stay on, Chinese could lose 10 million jobs very quickly. And even if there is a drop in the tariffs, that they could lose 5 million jobs. They have a different form of government. They're playing to a different audience. So I'm not going to get into the nitty gritty again of who's talking to whom. But as I said, I believe for the Chinese, these tariffs are unsustainable.
- [30:45]
Dave Rubin
Very clear. You know how during the Biden administration, everyone that they put up there, that clown car people from Mayorkas to Yellen to all these people to Anthony Blinken and everybody else that it seemed like they were just all bullshit artists. Like, no one said anything directly or cleanly. Like, Bessen was really good right there. Like, he makes a clean. It's just a clean argument. Now, as David Sacks said yesterday, this stuff has to land, right? We have to find out when the 90 days expires, did we get enough deals with other countries and where does China fall. So we will see. No one can predict that. We will see where it all lands. But the broad point of we are putting tariffs on them. And if they suddenly realize that, oh man, the Americans are not buying our crap anymore, we, we're going to lose 10 million jobs and then people will be pissed and that's going to be trouble for us that they might be more willing to negotiate. And then he also goes out and says, these guys have a different form of government. They are not for as corrupt and wrecked and mangled as, as we are with politics and media and everything else. We still are, I would say, a basically free society. They are not. So you're not going to get into every little nuanced conversation of who talked to who and where negotiations, negotiations are at with everyone just yet. Right. So that's pretty solid stuff. Now, if it all works, Trump has actually just in the last couple days basically made a promise that he will use the revenue from these better trade deals to eliminate income tax on a huge amount of Americans. I don't know if that's true. Again, Trump doesn't know if that's true. It's like, where will this all land? But here's Bessen talking about that tariffs. The President said over the weekend that we are hoping that maybe tariff revenues could replace income tax. But we also keep hearing about the deals that the administration is pursuing. So my question is, what is the White House's ultimate objective here? Do you want to have long term tariff revenue or deals that might reduce those tariffs?
- [32:41]
Scott Bessen
I think it's a combination of both. So we're going to take in long term tariff revenue. We put a process in place. We have 18 important trading relationships. We will be speaking to all of those partners, or at least 17 of them over the next few weeks. Many of them have already come to Washington. What President Trump is referring to is the ability for tariff revenue to give income tax relief. And I think there's a very good chance that we will see this in the upcoming tax bill.
- [33:13]
Dave Rubin
First off, I don't know who the guy asking that question was, but that was a good question. It was a substantive question. Is this right now that Trump is trying to get long term tariff revenue through these deals or is it just a negotiating point? And Besson answered, that's a, that's actually a good question. As opposed to Terry Moran, are you a good man or not? Like, no, that's actually a good question. And then Bessant makes the point. We will see. It could be a little bit of both. But the idea is if we can fix some of this stuff on top of the fact he didn't get into it there. But if we can fix trade deals while at the same time we've lowered the wasteful spending because of Doge, so we realize the government doesn't need enough as much of your money and our trade deals are better, maybe we get into a situation where we could cut income tax for a huge amount of people. Right. That would be spectacular. I think, like if you have more of your money and you get to decide what you're going to do with it rather than giving it to the government for nonsensical programs at best, I think that would be pretty good. Again, I keep talking about how he's got competent people around him. Here is National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett talking about how we just have to wait and work through some of this tariff stuff and the pain that we're going through, even though right now the markets have completely responded and as I said earlier, goods seem to be basically the same price. The President has acknowledged that there's going to be some short term pain here. And while I understand the argument that you are trying to make about who pays the cost of tariffs, every other Republican in the decade I spent covering the Hill was very eager to tell me that tariffs were a tax that were paid by consumers and not by anyone else. And the reality is that's part of the pain that Americans are likely to bear. So I think my question to you is if at the end of the day it's companies that are passing this along, how much short term pain are voters willing to endure? No, no, talking about it as pain is just absolutely incorrect. The way to think about it is if you think that when China entered the WTO is going to be so good because you're getting all these cheap Chinese products in America, then you would expect that Americans would be better off, that their standard of living would go up. And what we saw was after China entered the WTO for 15 years in a row, real wages declined. They were down $1200 over the next 15 years because the cheap goods were overpowered by the reduction in labor demand and the really bad wages. Yeah, that's completely right. You know, we showed you a chart about two weeks ago where since America in the last 50 years has entered all these trade deals, these trade deals that were very lopsided towards everyone else and not towards us, that manufacturing left the United States. We basically became the consumer of all of these things. But we can use that power as the consumer because if the consumer stops buying stuff, if the consumer is finally like, boy, you know, over time, this isn't working out that well for us because there aren't enough jobs to go around and maybe we don't need all this crap and maybe there are better ways to do this. And you know, actually, China's labor practices aren't great when you see how they make shoes with Nike or when you see, you know, a woman who's 70 years old who has to spend 20 hours in a sweatshop putting little chips into iPhones. If you start dealing with some of this stuff maturely, then things will start shaking out in a better way. And that's what we're doing. So Cassie's presenting a question that Republicans used to be all for this. Yeah, because Republicans have sucked for a long time until Trump came around and suddenly there was an old man who once used a phrase, they've got a backbone like a ramrod. Let's talk about 1775 coffee and then we will have more of the goodness on the other side.

Let's jump over to hell. Because health is good. It's nice when your heart works and your lungs work and your skin looks nice and you feel healthy and you have energy and you can do the things that you want to do now. Over the course of the last few decades, we haven't been doing that very well in America. We have been putting things like literal poisons into our Cheetos. We drink sodas that have high fructose corn syrup instead of just regular sugar. Not that that's so great. We've done all sorts of crazy things with seed oils. I watched it, saw a video that popped up on Instagram yesterday. Maybe we can play this tomorrow if we can find it where someone was showing. Just like, I won't even say the brand, but it was a very well known salad dressing brand that you would see at every single supermarket. They were Showing their ranch dressing. And it was basically, they showed you how you made it. So they show you the bottle on one side and then they show an empty bottle and how do they make it? And it's something like 70% of what is in that bottle of the ranch dressing that almost all of us have bought before is just canola oil. So basically just awful, awful stuff. And then you just see some of the ingredients they get in there and how they make it. And if you just watch any of these videos that are out there on the ultra processed food that we are eating all the time, it is pretty terrible. Okay, you get that? And who's the guy that's brought that to the forefront? Obviously it's Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Who of course was running as a Democrat not too long ago. Here he is talking about that. It's not just that, let's say the corporate. I hate this phrase. But it's not just that the corporations took advantage of us. Right. We didn't know what we were doing for a long time. We have more information now. People have learned more about health and everything else, but it's that the media was actually bought by big Pharma and there is profit in keeping us sick and pathetic and ugly and downtrodden and awful and. Play the video whenever you're ready.
- [39:14]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Oh, you know, Anderson Cooper is. Gets a salary of something like $20 million a year, but probably 75% of that is coming indirectly through pharmaceutical companies. Oh, that's who his boss is. And that's why he's reporting to. And that's why during COVID you saw, you know, all of these news channels completely on board, shaming people who didn't go along with the government orthodoxies and, and drumming up fear about. About COVID you know, printing the deaths on the Chirons every day and the number of cases, etc. And fortifying an orthodoxy that just so happens to create huge profits for their advertisers. The food companies are the other big advertisers. So the cereal brands, et cetera, they have tremendous power over the media. And that's one of the reasons, I think, that I get such blowback.
- [40:11]
Dave Rubin
Yeah, and we know that's all true. That's of course, to the backdrop of COVID and everything else. Why is it that for the two plus years of COVID I wasn't screaming at you that you should get vaxxed or anything else. I was telling you, you got to do what you think is right for your health. Because I wasn't paid by PFIZER and yet during COVID how many times have we shown you that compilation, that mass compilation video of all of the programs that had Fauci on at that very minute, or they had some of the other NIH people and then they. All right, we'll be right back after this commercial break. Brought to you by Pfizer. And it's like, wait a minute, wait a minute. Brought to you. You mean you're bringing us this program by the very people who are funding the drug that this guy's pushing. Oh, and Fauci had to make sure that monoclonal treatment and HCQ and other things would be basically pushed aside so they could get emergency authorization to get the MRNA vaccine. Like, you get it. You get it. So there is a collusion there. I can't speak to, I don't know, Anderson Cooper, I met him once. I can't speak to his integrity. But there is a reason. If you get 20 million bucks, Rachel Maddow gets $20 million, I think to be on that show once a week and spew pure propaganda, it's a pretty good gig if you can get it. If you don't care about your integrity. Now, Cali means who's working over at HHS with Bobby Kennedy. He's one of his advisors here. He is talking about how the, how NIH itself actually funded the pandemic. And then he does a clever little move with some of the lobbyists here. Watch this.
- [41:47]
Cali Means
The nih, according to the consensus, like consensus opinion of scientific leaders, funded the creation of a global pandemic. The global pandemic was funded by the nih. That's just that, that's, that's the consensus scientific opinion.
- [42:04]
Dave Rubin
Is it?
- [42:05]
Cali Means
Is the consensus. Oh, the farmer lobbyists. This is great. This is great. Well, I've got some questions for you. I've got some questions for the pharma lobbyists now. This is great. This is great. Do you guys agree that the. Would you, would you guys give your kids a COVID vaccine, a six month year old? Would you give your six month show of hands? So you guys are against the CDC guidance. Every pharma lobbyist in here. That's interesting. Interesting. Do you guys agree that there we are at the apex of vaccine innovation. There should be no, there will be no changes to the childhood schedule in 10 years. Do you guys agree with that? No. No, you don't. So good. Because you're arguing that there's zero vaccine innovation and we should not have any changes to the childhood schedule, which you seem to disagree with.
- [42:54]
Dave Rubin
Do you see how great that is? It really is one of my favorite little devices that more and more people are catching on with. That I think, is just so great. When you are up there being asked something by reporters, journalists, et cetera, and you sense that it's going slightly right, ask them a question back. Trump's doing it. Stephen Miller's doing it. We're seeing what. Marco Rubio is doing it. We're seeing more and more people doing it. And it's brilliant what he did there. He turns to the reporters, well, okay, do you guys want your kids to get MRNA vaccines when they're 6 months old? How many of you want that? And then suddenly they're like, oh, shit, I might be on camera, too. What do you guys think? Should we question the vaccine rollout, the schedule that has gotten more and more vaccines in a truncated period of time over the last 20 years? Should we be allowed to ask some questions about that? And then suddenly they're like, maybe we should, because I could be on camera, too. And obviously, obviously, that would be worth thinking about. We did get the Hidden Valley Ranch video. We're going to show you that in just a second. But one more here from Callie.
- [43:53]
Cali Means
The consensus estimation from the US government is that Covid was funded by the NIH. Go to Covid.gov you seem to be disagreeing with the government assessment, the CIA assessment, and the assessment of the health leaders of this country. So the pharmaceutical lobbyists disagree with the consensus medical view that the NIH funded gain of function research that went into the consensus estimate of where Covid came from. This is what we have here. This is what we have here. These people are jealously defending the status quo where 50% of teens are overweight or obese, where 38% of teens in America are pre diabetic, where 1 in 20 boys in California have autism. And they're saying it's all fine. They're saying status quo. They are calling the White House and saying explicitly that we should have limited clinical trials for future drugs and future vaccines because we're building a new plant. We're spending $20 billion, so we need more lax regulations. They're explicitly saying they are a dish every single day. Not disagreeing with a single word. Bobby saying Secretary Kennedy about the chronic disease crisis, but using promises of future investment to get lax regulation policies. That's what they're doing.
- [45:14]
Dave Rubin
And let me put Callie Means up on that list I mentioned yesterday. I'm just going to have a list of like, who's doing a great job in the administration right now. And we'll just keep like a top 10 list. We're going to start. We need a graphic. Who does graphics around here? We got a graphic guy. All right, I do graphics. We're going to make a graphic and we'll move it around. Like, if you're doing a great job this week, you move in the top 10 of the Trump people, people in Trump's orbit, because it's a great. All of it. It's. Why can't we ask the. Why do 1 out of 20 kids in Cali have autism? Why do we have these insane rates of obesity? Why is it we weren't allowed to ask questions about COVID vaccines? Thus young kids who were perfectly healthy were forced to be vaccinated and now have myocarditis, like all of these things. And you have a group of people who want to just keep the status quo going. But I'm telling you, from go from going very early on to these maha things when, when Bobby Kennedy left, left, the Democrat Party started, you know, hedging his bets a little bit with Trump because he was doing it a little bit before he officially joined. I met so many people that just got involved in this because of their kids. It reminded me actually very much of years ago during COVID when suddenly I was in LA and all of these liberals, these were progressive liberals who suddenly became radicalized right wingers because of what the government was doing because of COVID And now the same thing happened because of people's health. Now let's just show you. We found this. So it was Hidden Ranch. Hidden Valley Ranch dressing. We've all had this dressing. Tastes good. Okay. If you like the ranch. I like more of a vinaigrette these days. I'm trying to do a little olive oil, balsamic. That's it. But if you like a thicker ranch, this is Hidden Valley Ranch. It's a one minute video. And just, just watch this.
- [46:57]
Hidden Valley Ranch Narrator
Do you know what's really in this ranch dressing you use all the time? Hidden Valley Ranch is the number one selling ranch in the U.S. but what is actually in it? Let's find out. The first ingredient and a good portion of the bottle is vegetable oil in the form of soybean and or canola oil. Next up, water. 24 grams of added sugar, salt, buttermilk, natural flavors, spices, Monosodium glutamate, also known as msg, Garlic, onion, vinegar, phosphoric acid, xanthan gum, disodium phosphate to prevent water and oil separation. Sorbic acid, a preservative that prevents mold and extends shelf life. Calcium disodium edta, a preservative that prevents spoilage. Disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate. Flavor enhancers often used in conjunction with MSG. So there you have it. All 17 ingredients in hidden Valley Ranch. What sticks out to me the most though is that the number one ingredient on what's supposed to be a buttermilk based dressing is vegetable oil. This is not the innocent farmhouse style dressing that I thought it was as a kid. If I were to rename this what it actually is, I'd probably call it vegetable oil syrup with extra additives and hint of buttermilk.
- [47:58]
Dave Rubin
Eat up. Yeah, it's kind of shocking when you see it. Like, I don't think there's many people wandering around going, boy, ranch dressing is the greatest, healthiest thing for me. But there is a way to make it with buttermilk. Now, obviously, because things need to be shelf stable and not everything's going to be refrigerated and they have to mass make it. Okay, fine, they're going to put some preservatives in there and things like that. But did you ever really think about it that way? Like when you buy ranch dressing, you buy buttermilk ranch dressing that actually you're drinking pretty much like 60% probably canola oil. Right? And canola oil is not good for you. I could, I'll just quickly read how canola. I'll read why it's bad for you. I'll read quickly how it's made and why it's bad for you. Why not? Canola seeds are cleaned to remove dirt, stems and other impurities. Seeds are heated to optimize oil extraction and improve oil quality. Seeds are crushed and pressed to extract crude oil. Remaining oil in the meal is extracted using a solvent, usually hexane, and then the solvent is removed. Okay, that's a little technical. Why is that bad for you? Well, the processing. Most canola oil is highly refined. It's heated and treated with chemicals like hexane during extraction, which can destroy nutrients and create small amounts of trans fat, which are pretty bad for you. Omega 6, 6 fatty acids. It's relatively high in omega 6s compared to omega 3s. Too many omega 6s without enough omega 3s can lead to inflammation in the body over time, which is linked to chronic diseases. I'm reading this all on the fly. Obviously, genetic modification. Most canola plants are gmo, genetically modified, which freaks some people out, although that's a controversial topic. Depending on who you ask? GMOs, this is Dave Rubin's opinion, are not all bad bananas or GMO to me over the years. So. Okay, fine. Oxidation risks. Canola oil can oxidize, go rancid easily when heated too high, leading to harmful compounds that aren't great for your cells. Okay, so look, you can still eat it. We all do. I have a Diet Coke every now and again. Two a year, probably two cans a year, maybe something like that. We all do.
- [49:51]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Shit.
- [49:51]
Dave Rubin
I've had ranch this weekend. We took the kids to the beach. I had some wings. I had some ranch dressing on the side. I didn't ask if it was pure buttermilk or not. You had those wings. They were pretty good a couple weeks ago. Okay, so we all do those things. But the point is, why haven't we been talking about this? And I'm not even laying blame on all of the corporations, and I'm not even laying. I'm just. It would be nice to know what actually is in our food and figure out ways that we can make healthier options cheaper. And that's what we can do, right? Even right now, we've shown you all of these companies now that are frying in beef tallow instead of all of these crazy oils. And then the more that happens, the cheaper it will get, right? That's why if you bought a VCR in 1984, it was like 1,000 bucks. Two years later, it was 500 bucks. Two years later, it WAS 100 bucks. And then three years later, it was 25 bucks. Now, if you want to buy a VCR, it's probably very expensive because 45 bucks, you can still get a $45 VCR. What you're doing with it, I have no freaking idea. Anyway, the point is that the health conversation and the conversation around vaxes and schedules, it really is blown up into the mainstream. And regardless of your position on it, I think that is good. Here is Bill Maher talking with Terrence Howard about how he's not an anti vaxxer. But, yeah, it would be good to not necessarily be forced to be injected with things.
- [51:08]
Bill Maher
I said something about anti vaxxer, and he said, that's what you think I am? And I said, yeah, I do. And that's coming from someone who's been called an anti vaxxer a lot. And I'm. You know, it's all. How you define this. I don't think I'm an anti vaxxer. I think vaccines are a great tool that we have. I just don't want everyone you come up with. I want to be able to make that decision for myself based on my personal health profile. He is a little more out there, I think, on lots of stuff. I mean, there's lots of stuff where I just can't go with him. But in general, do I think what he is saying as far as environmental toxins, it's not just what's in the air vaccine, it could be vaccines and not every vaccine, but who knows? In combination with all the other things that are in our body. I don't know what all these factors are, but when he says this is probably what's behind most of our health problems, that resonates with me.
- [52:10]
Dave Rubin
Yeah. And that's good. Bill Maher, Right. Like you can be a liberal and whatever else Bill considers himself at the moment, but you're still allowed to have a mind for yourself. Actually, that would be a liberal position in an old school liberal sense, like using logic and reason and not just bowing down to authority and everything else. I would say the slight disconnect there is that if they were to ever pump out another pandemic or if an actual pandemic came along and half the half of us wouldn't even believe it was real as opposed to man made or created by, you know, Chinese scientists working with the NIH or whatever, that it is very likely. I hate to tell you, Bill, that in your state of California, they will lock you people down again, they will force you to be injected again, you'll be doing your show from your backyard again and all of those things because. Because there is still a huge, huge swath of people who have not woken up yet. And those are the people that we have to wake up like. And I think, I think that's why the Maha movement, I think is so important. And what Bobby did is so important. You take people who are not political, they don't really understand politics, they don't care about geopolitics, they're not even into economics or whatever else. It's an awful lot of people, and that's just fine. But most people kind of want to be healthy, even if you don't. Even if you're not healthy, you probably, in the back of your mind, kind of want to be healthy. So this is a winning issue and we just need more and more people talking about that sort of stuff. Of course, Donald Trump, who has closed the border, made the trade deals fair, helped the economy, done some of this health stuff, gotten a, you know, a little less canola oil in your system. What are they trying to do with him? Well, they want to impeach him, of course. But first, here is California Senator Alex Padilla basically just making up complete nonsense about Trump's hundred days.
- [53:53]
Donald Trump
100 days in, we're seeing what President Trump's massive deportation program in the US Looks like.
- [54:01]
Dave Rubin
Is this not what the American, American people voted for? It is absolutely not what the American people voted for, Jose.
- [54:07]
Scott Bessen
100 days.
- [54:08]
Dave Rubin
100 days of increased cost, never ending.
- [54:13]
Scott Bessen
Chaos, and certainly unprecedented corruption.
- [54:16]
Dave Rubin
That's what we're getting in the first.
- [54:17]
Scott Bessen
Hundred days of this Trump administration.
- [54:20]
Dave Rubin
Unbelievable. What a fucking liar that guy is. Actually, it's exactly what we voted for. He said we're going to close the border and we're going to deport people. That he could not have been clearer about that. Right. That's why you were calling him Hitler eight years ago. Then, of course, he brings up because they have. They have just their checklist of things they have to say. The chaos, right? What chaos? If you mean that your people, the Democrats and progressives, have been burning down Tesla charging stations, then I'm with you. But I don't think that's what you mean. What else did he say? Prices have gone up. We just tried. We checked. We can't find prices that are going up right now. What was the third thing? It was chaos. Prices going up and. There was. There was. And corruption. I don't know, it might be a little bit corrupt that a president had dementia and was not actually running the country. So what corruption are you talking about right now? That's how these people operate. What can I tell you? Anyway, here's a video that involves animals getting extended boners. Do I have to do anything more than that? That feel? Yeah. It's just animals, boners. Jesse Waters impeachment.
- [55:27]
Jesse Waters
Democrats are out of ideas. Congressman Cherie Thandadar is impeaching. Yep. And the more we learn about Cherie, the weirder it gets. Cherie owned a pharmaceutical lab that ran tests on dogs and monkeys. A whistleblower accused Cherie of hiding that some of the herbal supplements he tested were spiked with Viagra. His company went bankrupt and over 100 beagles were stranded inside a lab. Volunteers rescued them.
- [55:57]
Dave Rubin
We believe that they have never been outside, ever.
- [56:00]
Donald Trump
I don't think that they've actually had.
- [56:02]
Dave Rubin
Their paws on the grass.
- [56:04]
Donald Trump
When I walked in here, it looked like they were walking on eggshells. They were kind of afraid to walk on the grass.
- [56:09]
Jesse Waters
Cherie is a strange guy with a shady past. If I were him, I'd be laying Low. But there's no leadership in the party, so guys like Cherie can steal the spotlight. But Democrats say Republicans are the weirdos.
- [56:22]
Dave Rubin
You know, I'm a man of science. I believe that science can better our lives and help us in many ways. It can, you know, have, you can have surgery, open heart surgery, and that's good if you need it. And maybe get us to other planets and do all sorts of stuff, science. But if you're in a situation where you've got a whole bunch of dogs and you're doing some stuff with them, and then you think, why don't we give these dogs Viagra, some sort of Viagra cocktail and see what happens if a whole bunch of dogs get boners. That's more, I would say that's more like island of Dr. Moreau. That's a little more Dr. Mindbender. For those of you that can get a GI Joe reference. That is science gone awry. I don't know why you would want to give a dog a boner. Maybe we'd have to ask SRI that question. Let's try to get SRI on the show. Can we get sri? We're going to email SRI and we'll ask him about the dog boners and I guess we'll ask him about impeachment, too. Although that's like, I don't really care about that. Like, that's not going to happen. The dog boner thing, I guess, is kind of interesting. But that's what you've got with the Democrats. You've got this guy trying to impeach Trump. And now watch this. Timu Obama, this disingenuous hack who I'm not even sure is a full human. There is nothing behind his eyes. Here he is now questioning Trump's cognitive ability. Donald Trump spent the last year and a half questioning the cognitive ability of President Joe Biden. Notwithstanding many of the legislative accomplishments that Donald Trump could only wish he got over the finish line. And so I think it's fair that a lot of Americans across the country that I run into are questioning whether Donald Trump is actually fit at this point to be able to carry out the duties of the United States of America in terms of being the president and the commander in chief. They're just horrible people. Like we were doing the run through of the show this morning. And we'll have Schumer in just a second. Like these, all of them, they're just terrible people. I don't know what to say about them other than that, like, you ran cover for the guy for Four years. Really? More than four years. About his cognitive ability. I don't know what legislative accomplishments you're talking about. You mean the Inflation Reduction act that caused inflation? Like, is that what you're talking about? You mean the endless check to Ukraine that did nothing but cause death and destruction? We could go on and on and on. But then he's talking to all sorts of Americans who are concerned about Donald Trump's mental acuity. What are you talking about? We just showed you Donald Trump sitting down in the Oval Office with a completely combative interviewer and nailing it and having facts and still having a sense of humor and everything else. So he's just. That guy is just absolutely nothing. Speaking of nothing, Chuck Schumer, who's, you know, he's very. We got to stop that. Trump, do you agree Is the United States in a constitutional crisis? Yes, I do, Kristen. And democracy is at risk. Look, Donald Trump is a lawless, angry man. He thinks he should be king. He thinks he should do whatever he wants regardless of the law, and he thinks judges should just listen to him. Now we have to fight that back in every single way. I don't know what was going on with Chuck. He didn't have the glasses on, so something was going on with his eye right there. But like, this is Chuck normally. Kristen, might I offer you a little journalistic. I'm not a journalist, but might I offer you a little journalistic piece of advice here, which is that when a guest comes on your show and just says over the top ridiculous things, he wants to be a king, blah, blah, blah. Might you follow up and say, can you give me an example of that? Would you be able to do that? That might be something you want to do, but you know, I'm not a journalist, so who am I to say? Anyway, here's Trump just going off on these ridiculous impeachment calls.

Donald Trump
He said, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to start the impeachment. Impeachment of Donald Trump. What the hell did I do? Here we go again. They want to impeach me. This lunatic. This lunatic used up. Actually, I had the television way down and I said to our great first lady, listen, did I just hear I was being impeached again? We're getting good at this, though. No, they've gone totally crazy, these people. And you know what? They've totally lost their conscience. Confidence, too. They can't even tell a lunatic like this dumb guy that said it. And then you have the other one that's always with the cane. He's always Impeaching. And he raises his cane. He always impeaches. But they have no control over those people. They have no control. And the reason is they've lost their confidence.

Dave Rubin
He really is good. Like, he really is. You know, think about all of the shit that this guy's lived through all of these years and that he can still get up there and still have fun with it. You know, he was about to do an Indian accent. You could feel that like him having to control that. And then he's the guy with the cane. I've always. I forget his name. It doesn't even matter. Who was the guy with the cane yelling, who has a really horrible shave job. It doesn't even matter. He's the congressman from Cali. He looks like. Like it doesn't even matter. Al Green. It's like these people are completely ridiculous. And speaking of ridiculous, the thing that I've really been enjoying over the last couple days is watching like the generational fight in the party because you have a crazy psychotic base of progressives who hate America, who hate freedom, who hate free speech, who hate the founding of our country, the documents, all that. And then you have a bunch of like washed up older people who have completely lost control and they don't know what to do. That is never more better exemplified than the fight between James Carville. You know, James, longtime Democrat strategist, worked for Bill Clinton and David Hogg. David Hogg, who became famous after the Parkland shooting. And he's an absolute anti American radical who is now the vice chair of the dnc. And here's David Hogg being interviewed and going after Carville. It's again, this is just that end of Godzilla, you know, Japanese man, one tier, let them fight. Yeah, you talked about players, right? And rather than messaging not to go back to James Carville again, but he did say that running Kamala Harris was, was like running a seventh string quarterback. What do you think about that? Well, I'm surprised that he thought that we were going to win in a landslide considering he's saying that now. And look, we all have miscalculations that we make in elections, of course, but I'm tired of this idea that we need to perpetually listen. Experience matters. It absolutely does. But it's. It only matters as much as it actually is effective and useful because it. Wow, Hog, you're right. Experience only matters if it's effective and useful. And Carville's wrong about a lot of things and deserves. And he's just, as I said the other day, he's only on TV because he talks like this. And nobody's what he's saying because he's talking real fast. And I'm from Louisiana and I eat crawfish and I'm talking like this and I sound crazy and people are going, oh my God, he's talking so fast. He must know what he's saying, cuz he's saying it. Okay, fine, that's fine. But you have no experience and you don't know what you're doing. So hog, that also is not a great thing. And by the way, you have a little revolution on your hands in your own party. Check this out. From Eric Daughtry. Because of the DNC's insane diversity policies, they're now considering overruling Vice Chair David Hogg's victory in favor of a Native American woman. They will never let go of dei. And this is per semaphore. Wait, sorry, I lost the prompter here. Kaylin Free is challenging her defeat to Hog, a white male, at the last party election. The credentials committee is meeting May 12 to consider her challenge. She alleges the election of Hog violated the DNC charter and discriminated against three women of color candidates. She's asking for two new vice chair elections. By aggregating votes across ballots and failing to distinguish between gender categories in a meaningful way, the DNC's process violated its own charter and bylaws undermining both fairness and gender. Gender sensitivity. And there she is. She looks like a crazy woman from Star wars who they'd land on a planet and it would turn out she was working for Darth Vader. But as Jerry said to George, good luck with all of that. Like, if him being taken out by the Native American woman for diversity purposes would be just perfect. Although he is, he does. He's a girl, right? He has a vagina. Pretty obvious to me. Let's end with this because we've shown you some competency and we just went into like, crazy land and everything else. But the point is that right now we have a good party doing good things. We have another party that is completely psychotic, purging out the people. And what I will continue to do, you have heard me say it a million times, is strengthening the widening of the MAGA movement so that anyone who truly loves America, who wants to live free and everything else, has an opportunity in this country. You could disagree with me about marginal tax rates, you could disagree with me about foreign policy or whatever it might be. But if we fundamentally agree that this is a good economy experiment and something that should continue and that we should be proud of and everything else. Then we can all be on the same side, and it's just not on the side of the Democrats, who are deeply corrupt, completely out of control.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
RFK I started my presidential campaign 19 months ago, and the Democrats fought. They canceled the primary so I couldn't win run, and they canceled the debate. And then I switched to Independence, and I was taking more votes away from Donald Trump than the Democrats. Donald Trump never sued me, and he never said anything nasty about me. He was always very civil.

Donald Trump
And.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The Democrats sued me, and they sued me to keep me off the ballot. They spent $10 million. They filed suits in 10 states, and then when I endorsed President Trump in August, they sued me to keep me on the ballot. Why did they do that? They did that because they want to confuse the voters. They want to interfere with the election because they're keeping somebody on the ballot who's not running.

Dave Rubin
Look, I know you know all that stuff. I know that many of you have been through it. I know that many of you watching this were Democrats 10 years ago, five years ago, maybe just two months ago. But they could have kept Kennedy and they could have kept Tulsi, and they could have kept Rogan, and there's some alternate universe where they could have kept me and a whole bunch of other people. They chose not to. So they're going to keep going that direction. And what we have to do is, regardless of the infighting and disagreements that some of us may have, whether they're philosophical or religious or purely about government and whatever, we've just got to keep refining that freaking thing and making America the most beautiful diamond that it can possibly be. And if we keep doing that, we'll have everybody, we'll keep winning. And that will be the ultimate revenge that people seem to think Donald Trump wants to take. They think he wants revenge. He's going to murder everybody. Ironically, his revenge is the thing that will allow them to be successful and flourish, etc. Etc. That is our program for today. I thank you for watching. We got a postgame show. Rubenreport.locals.com in 30 seconds. Goodbye. If we build this world from love Then God will build this world world from love. It's unbelievable.
