Dave Rubin (0:00)

Foreign. Nothing to see here, please. All right, Everybody. It is June 9th, 2025. I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin Report. We are back in studio live Streaming on Rumble, YouTube, Locals, post game show RubenReport Locals.com that's right. We were in the Holy Land. Now we're in the other holy land, the free state of Florida. And I am proud to say that I had the wisdom, the foresight to leave communist California and Los Angeles specifically a bit early. That was over three years ago right now. And I have absolutely no regrets. You obviously know what today's show will be about because all hell is breaking loose with these ice riots in Los Angeles. And before I even dive in, let me just say this is going to continue. This is exactly what the left has wanted. This is the alliance of the jihadists and the Marxists and the socialists and the general rainbow people, the people that want to destroy the country, the people that just want to see everything burn. You could throw in a Little Joker from the Batman movies. It's all here. And this might just be the COVID of Trump 47 administration, right? Trump had two good years before COVID Then you really all hell broke loose and you can judge everybody accordingly. It seems to me the thing that they are going to try to pin on him is now just kind of mass violence throughout our cities and it's starting in la. So let's just get you caught up. We have so much to do today and I am happy to be back. And by the way, I want to give a little credit to Joseph. You know, I took my whole team to Hungary and Israel, but Joseph was here. We left him. We felt somebody should stay here in Florida and man the computers here. And we left him in this studio with a bucket of fish heads. And I realized that we only left him seven days worth of fish heads. And we were gone for nine days. He was here. He had to drink his own urine. It was a whole situation. But he's fine and we owe you one, my man. All right, appreciate it. Let's dive into what's going on in Los Angeles because it is just absolutely insane. And, oh, the media is of course lying about it and telling you that it's mostly peaceful. Have we been through this part of the simulation yet? Here we go. From the Daily Wire. Los Angeles and surrounding areas have exploded in riots as anti immigration enforcement demonstrators, many touting foreign flags, set fires and attack federal officials. The Department of Homeland Security posted a video to social media on Saturday displaying some of the scenes from Los Angeles Area riots that have broken out over immigration enforcement operations taking place. The chaotic scenes from the riots are overlaid with remarks from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Best accusing federal immigration officials of sowing a sense of terror by arresting illegal aliens. The violent targeting of law enforcement in Los Angeles by lawless protesters is despicable. Homeland Security said in a post. Mayor Bass ICE is not responsible for sowing a sense of terror. The protesters you enabled are you? Some of scenes. Some of the scenes from the video show graffiti messages such as F ICE next to a symbol for antifa. Death to colonialist domination, Death to America, KKK and dead cops with a smiley face drawn in the O in cops. So before I show you some of these images, and you might think that they're going to be kind of over the top and they are. They're very mad. Maxi. We should know that this was coming. This was obviously coming. You let in 12 to 15 million people. You have no idea who they are. You don't know what their intentions are. Then you have a president come in and say, no more of this. Offer them all. Remember, Donald Trump has offered all of these people a chance to leave. If you are illegal, you have broken the law and you gotta go. We can talk about all the layers of different people who've been here for years, who are paying taxes, who have families, who are the outright criminals, and we can have all of those discussions. But what you have to do first is you got to close the border and make some sense of who is actually here. But what the left has been doing for quite literally years at this point is basically saying, if we don't get what we want, when we want it, we're going to burn the whole thing down. We showed you a video just two weeks ago before I left on the trip of Timu Obama, talking about how they were going to try to unmask ICE agents. You know, why do they wear masks? Well, why would he want them unmasked? So you could go after their families. They wear that for anonymity because they don't want their families being gone after. I can play you a gajillion videos. We've done it before of the left calling for violence, whether it's AOC or Maxine Waters. Get in their face. Don't give them a moment's peace. Literally trying to stop Brett Kavanaugh, Supreme Court justice, from getting out of a steak joint in D.C. morton Steakhouse a couple of years ago, going, protesting every single day outside of Ted Cruz's house. All of these things, they've been trying to rip apart the fabric of Americ American life and now it has been escalated. It is here. It has been escalated. So here's just a general compilation of what's going on in LA right now. Was quite. So you're seeing some. This is live. Yeah. You're seeing not great conduct. You know, let's hope that no one is hurt and no one is injured and it doesn't escalate from here. Look at the flag. Yeah, guy, there it is. Mexican flag. Can, you know, you know, this in this picture right now has the possibility of being detained, subject to arrest there if they remain in this location. And oh, this, they throw them all. The top cocktail on this side. Can I get a new pair of shoes too? Where does one get a communist cape? You know, the communists usually aren't good at making things, but one apparently can get a communist cape these days. All right, there's a lot there, guys, and we're gonna show you plenty more. First, let's start with the Molotov cocktail situation, because this is only, what, 10 days since in Boulder, Colorado, when a psychotic jihadist threw Molotov cocktails at a bunch of Jewish people and burned eight of them, including an 88 year old Holocaust survivor. Do you think globalize the Intifada, do you think they meant it when they said it? And now we're seeing it be put on steroids. And it's not just about the intifada, about taking out America. Some of these people are just pure communists. They may not care about the intifada, some of them are jihadists, they don't really care about the communists. But this is the Red Green alliance that is being interlocked right now. And it is quite literally exploding in our faces. You know, just in terms of how police should deal with some of this stuff. The guy who's throwing the rocks at the cars right there, you shoot him. You shoot him. It's as simple as that. He could kill people. He could kill people in the car, the car could go careening off the way, hit a family, you shoot that guy, period. As for the people that are overtaking the roads and everything else, you gotta stop it. You don't let it happen in the first place and you gotta stop it. There's a reason it's happening in la. LA has a track record of this. Why did I leave la? Well, it wasn't just because of COVID It was also because of the Summer of Love. And I lived in Sherman Oaks and then Encino, which is the valley side Of La Ventura is the main boulevard there. And they burned down all the stores and they were. And we knew they were coming right days before. They burned down all the stores and they broke all the windows and everything else. What did they do? All the stores were boarded up, writing BLM outside and were for diversity and everything else. For diversity, we got to board up our windows and tell you how much we love you because you're peaceful. So they have allowed all of this. They've allowed the drugs, they've allowed the criminality. And congratulations, this is what you all voted for and you're getting it right now. So do you have the wherewithal? Do you have the proper mayor? We'll get to her. Karen Bass, in a second. Do you have the proper mayor? Do you have the proper police chief? Do you even have enough good people there anymore to fix the destruction of your city? Well, I think not. We've got some images here. I mean, the images. They say an image is worth a thousand words, right? A picture is worth a thousand words. Look at it. So first off, someone explained to me, if this guy's got the Mexican flag, if you left Mexico to come to the United States, why wouldn't you be waving the American flag? Because you love America, but you're waving the flag of the country. You don't want to go back to. To the just unbelievable backdrop of all of that smoke and everything else. Then of course, you have the people with the terrorists masks and everything else and they're burning the hell out of car. Somehow bricks are magically showing up again and cement things all over the place. I mean, look at this. This is. Congratulations, Los Angeles. Congratulations. This might be the image of the day. This is from yesterday. Look at this one. I mean, this is right out of Mad Max, right? Like, look at that. Look at that. He's on one of those. What do they call it? Waymo. Waymo cars, which is one of these cars that drives around. It's automated car that drives around and takes pictures and helps do mapping and stuff like that. And they've just absolutely taken over the streets. Like, someone find that guy. Someone knows who he is. I would arrest that guy. Also, those pants are just terrible pants with. Put that back for a second. Who wants those big baggy pants with skeletons on it? Come on, man. What else do we have here? I mean, just look at this. So again, the Mexican flag. Fuck ice like this guy. You gotta go. You either are an illegal and you gotta go. There's your face. They have AI now they're Going to find you or you are legally here and you're destroying things and taking over the street and burning down. What street is that right there? Does it say it? Alejandra Boulevard? Is that what it says there? I mean, it is just absolutely extraordinary in some sense. You got to give it to the guys with the masks who at least have the temerity to cover their faces. But this guy, you got to go, let's find this guy. Let's just do a little bit more. Here's some general graffiti. We want dead cops. Fuck. Ice. Intifada. Surprise, surprise. Do you see how these things are all connected? And did you think when they were just taking over college campuses and putting up tent cities and saying, globalize the Intifada and calling for this endless immigration and saying they've been saying they want to burn it down. Perhaps they meant it and there were a whole bunch of us warning, right? But they just wanted the inmates, they. When I say they, I mean the people in charge in the blue cities and the blue states, but particularly the blue cities, they just wanted the inmates to run the asylum. There is no bottom to the pit, right? It's an endless bottomless pit. And the crazier you are, the more energy you have if you are on that side of the aisle. Now, Gavin Newsom, I genuinely despise this man. I think he is a lizard person. That is what I said on Bill Maher's show. And Bill Maher asked me on Real Time what I meant by that. I think he is a cold blooded lizard person from another planet who possibly is the devil incarnate or at least the ant Antichrist. Okay? That is what I believe about Gavin Newsom. He is a slick used car salesman who has destroyed everything that he has ever touched except his own bank account and his winery and everything else. I've also heard interesting things about some of the parties he used to throw in San Francisco. Here he is blaming Donald Trump for the jihad that has now engulfed Los Angeles. Fox News is calling it the LA riots. Is it a peaceful protest? What's happening? What are you seeing? Well, I mean, look, Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight. He's exacerbated the conditions. He's, you know, lit the proverbial match. He's putting fuel on this fire ever since he announced he was taking over the National Guard in a legal act, in a moral act, an unconstitutional act. And we're going to test that theory with a lawsuit tomorrow. First off, the moron, that idiot from msnbc I used to know that guy, Jacob something. Is it peaceful? Is it. Is it like, I've got the dorky glasses, could I figure out if it's peaceful and then. No. Gavin, the proverbial match. The proverbial match. How about the literal match? The literal match that lit the Molotov cocktail that caused all the cars to burn, or the general explosions that are going off, that might be the match that you might be more concerned about. And also blaming Trump and blaming the National Guard for. This is absolutely absurd. Is it the National Guard throwing Molotov cocktails? Is it the National Guard burning the cars? Is it the National Guard that's busting into the stores and looting in the name of tolerance and peace and all that stuff? Of course not. Of course not. Here's more on Newsom. This is Trump. He's doing it because his presidency has failed, which I think it's been pretty freaking spectacular so far. But here we go. To what extent do you think it was a coincidence that in the aftermath of a week that was just rife with bad news for Trump as it relates to his relationship with Elon, his falling out with Elon, the budget bill obviously being on thin ice, that suddenly he finds, you know, a blue state that is just an easy punching bag for him. It's the state of California and now we have federal troops 100%. It's all about news cycles 24, 7. It's about weekly news, whatever he can to distract, to continue. I mean, disastrous economic policies, calamitous economic policies, potentially. I mean, even his biggest sycophant in the country, Elon Musk, said likelihood of a recession in the second half of the year, massive debt and deficits. The absurdity of his claim that the economy is doing well, he's wrecking the economy. He's destroyed allies around the world. These great 90 deals in 90 days. Nothing, nothing about this president and this presidency is he's evil. I mean, I don't know. This is going to be tough for me over the next couple weeks because there's only so many words in the English language to describe evil, to describe the true nature of the devil, but you're going to see a lot of that. And I don't know if I'm going to be able to come up with enough words for it. We'll get to the Elon thing in just a second. But the implication. Forget everything that Newsom said right there. The implication basically, is that Donald Trump set this up, that Donald Trump figured out a way to get the Marxist and the jihadists and the general drug addicted genderqueer psychopaths to burn everything down in la that Donald Trump did that. All Donald Trump did was then because the police could not do their job. And it's not. They. Well, I suppose they could, but because they refuse and maybe they can't anymore. But because they either refuse to do their job or they can't do it anymore because they don't have the right people, they don't have the right training, they don't have the wherewithal to do it anymore. Donald Trump is sending in the National Guard and we'll get to the fact that actually plenty of people in LA want that right now. None of the devastation you are seeing right now was because the National Guard came in. And if there were just purely peaceful protests, I mean, really think about it for a second. If there were just peaceful protests, even if these people were wearing the jihad masks and they were waving all their foreign flags and everything else, if they were purely peaceful protests, the National Guard obviously would not be there. But what started happening is as ICE went in and did its job, which was to remove illegals, which Donald Trump has been saying they are going to do for months. Not only saying that they were gonna do it. Donald Trump even gave an app to people to say you could self deport, because if you don't, we're gonna give you some time and if you don't, we are gonna get you it. But if you do self deport, you might be able to get back in. But they decided to ignore all of that, put on the jihad mask and burn the city down. So finally, at some point, you know me, do I want the federal government doing all this stuff? Do I want troops on the street and all of those things? Of course not. Of course not. But at some point, if we are the United States of America, if we're even, anything that remotely has the, anything that would remotely look like a sane society, then if the cities will not clean themselves up and make it so that the average Los Angeleno can live a decent life, then the feds are gonna have to come in. Here's Truth Donald Trump on Truth Social Governor Gavin Newscomb and Mayor. I like how he puts quotes on mayor. And Mayor Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they have done. And this now includes the ongoing, ongoing LA riots. These are not protesters. They are troublemakers and insurrectionists. Remember, no mask. So yes, first off, I would 100% at this point, at this juncture in 2020, 5, relative to everything going on in the world, I would be for banning masks in public. That would be one thing. Again, these are not things that you really want to do. But we are now dealing with a problem that has so escalated and we have people using all of our freedoms against us that we're going to have to get serious on these things. Are these the people, the guys that are driving around? If you're, if you burn down a car and you throw a Molotov cocktail at somebody and then you're driving around a motorcycle with a skeleton mask on your face with the flag of another country, do you seem like just like an average protester or maybe you're a little bit more than that? And we should do that now as per, as it pertains to the end. We'll do more on it at the end. That this is all because it was a smokescreen because of Trump and Elon fighting. Well, Elon Musk actually retweeted that. So there you go. So clearly, look, we'll get into more of that in just at the end of the show, I promise you. But if you think that this was all because Elon and Trump got into a fight. So somehow then Donald Trump figured out a way to get the jihadists of Los Angeles to burn down the city, then you have brain damage. Let's talk about Gold Co for a minute and then we'll get more on the National Guard coming in. President Trump's back in office, but he's facing non stop challenges from activist judges to a major trade war with China shaking up the markets. That's why I'm excited to announce my new partnership with Gold Co, the top rated precious metals company. I've personally chosen to protect my money with gold and silver. And Gold Co made the process incredibly simple. They help everyday Americans move over $3 billion into gold and silver. These guys know what they're doing right now. They're offering unlimited bonus silver on all qualified orders, but it's only while supplies last, so don't wait. Visit davelikesgold.com to learn more. You'll even get a free 2025 gold and silver kit to help you decide. Again, that's davelikesgold.com check it out. I want to tell you a bit more just quickly before we dive back in fully into what's going on yesterday of why I left Los Angeles. It obviously was all the, you know, there was all the COVID stuff and the lockdowns and the masks and the ridiculousness and everything else. And during the first portion of that summer of love, the riots went by my house, and we were doxxed, and we had people showing up to our house and ripping our mail apart and screaming at us and all that other stuff. And I kind of wanted to move to Florida at that point, but I thought, you know what? I'm gonna move up the hill a little bit. It'll be safer up there. We moved to a new house in the middle of it, and it was an absolutely gorgeous house. And I really thought we were going to live there forever. And, like, that was where we're going to raise our family and the whole thing. And then the violence just continued. And I remember being. Even though we were a little bit higher in the hill, thinking, man, if they're burning everything down there, and there were so many, you know, stores and that were boarded up and buildings that we used to have that were places of business that were completely empty and there were homeless people there and everything, I remember thinking, you know, at some point, this all will just move up the hill, right? There's just not enough good people here to fight for this place. And I think a lot of people in Los Angeles, having dealt with all of that, have now. Having now dealt with what happened, you know, what was it four months ago, with these absolutely horrific Palisades fires and seeing the ineptitude there, more and more people are realizing it, and we're going to see another version of a great migration. But let's dive in. This is from Trump on Truth Social. A once great American city, Los Angeles, has been invading and occupied by illegal aliens and criminals. Now violent insurrects, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our federal agents to try and stop our deportation operations. But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve. I am directing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Chris Kirsty Noem, Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant departments and agencies to take all such actions necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the migrant invasion and put an end to these migrant riots. Orders will be restored, the illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free. Thank you for your attention in this matter. Look, that's. That's right. That is the right direction for the President of the United States right now. In some sense, it doesn't matter exactly who's doing all the burning right now. If you are an illegal and you are picked up by ice, you have had plenty of opportunity to leave. And again, we can talk about all the versions of types of people that have been here and how long they've been here. And some are law abiding and everything else. But whether you're a citizen of the United States or an illegal, it doesn't give you the right to fight these people, attack these people, throw rocks at cars, blow up things, throw Molotov cocktails and everything else. And if LA will not do anything about it, which it clearly won't, if anything, it's kind of given the wink wink, it's kind of given the tacit approval, like Karen Bass has made it clear, these were sanctuary cities, they were sanctuary states. What did you think that ultimately meant? You were gonna depress your regular citizens? Cause you're gonna take from them to give to people who are not even supposed to be here. And over time, crime will increase and drugs will increase and lawlessness will increase and you won't arrest people for things anymore. And then what do you do in places like New York? Oh, you wanna jump the subway turnstile, we won't arrest you for that. And next thing you know, they're literally raping a dead body on the New York City subway. Remember that story that happened? Someone, an illegal raped a dead guy. I don't know what law they put that under, but it's like a lot of laws related to that. You don't do that. So this was all obvious. This was all obvious. And here we are. So here is Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. She was not my mayor. I got out before they brought this lady in and here she is to the backdrop of all the images we've just shown you, the video and everything else, explaining that LA doesn't need the National Guard, they're doing just fine. Try to spread them out a bit. Now, obviously they're trying to disperse them. I'm curious if now that the National Guard troops are there on the ground, if there is any urgency on the police department's part to really put out an even stronger force and a stronger posture to get this under control. So you can, and I know your governor said that they don't want that he's formally requested, requested that the National Guard troops go back, that they're not needed. Were those things correlated? Well, I absolutely agree with the governor in asking that the troops be withdrawn. I don't think that is the way to bring peace in Los Angeles. I think that our law enforcement officers can handle this situation. But I just have to repeat again, it's a feeling here, here of intentional chaos in a situation that had not broken out to violence short of A few people. And there's nothing unusual about that. And our police departments can manage that. But it is as though troops were rolled out in a provocative manner. And I do not see how that is helpful to Los Angeles right now. It's not the type of resources that we need in the city. Yes, lady, there is intentional chaos, but it's not the people trying to bring law and order. And by the way, you could have for the last couple years instructed your police to not allow the jihadists to take over the campus of UCLA, to not occasionally shut down the 405 when they want to march out there. But you've already ceded the high ground to these people, Obi Wan. Anakin, you don't. I've got the high ground. It's not going to work out for you. That's where they are at at this point. Right? And no, sorry. Hey, it's not the National Guard that's doing all these horrible things. And can your people fix it? I don't know, but it's kind of too late. Of course you might. But let's say I'm completely wrong. Let's say I'm. You know what? You are right. You are right, Karen Bass. Dave Rubin doesn't know what he's talking about. You guys are doing just fine. Do we have video perhaps of the police chief of Los Angeles maybe making a counter argument to her? Because maybe I just don't even know what I'm saying. I could be a little jet lagged still. I'm just babbling over here. Maybe the LA police chief could shine some light on the whole thing. And then the National Guard was federalized, so they're working for the US army, not for the California State National Guard. Do we need them? Do we need them? Well, looking at tonight, you know, this thing has gotten out of control. What they're. I think before I could answer that, I'd have to know more about what their capabilities are. Looking at the violence tonight, I think we gotta make a reassessment. Yeah. Did you catch that? That's the LA police chief basically being like, yeah, it's okay. Like he realizes he's in deep doo doo. I most likely. I don't know a ton about him, but I most likely sympathize with his situation. He has had an absolutely negligent mayor. Right. He has had DAs that have let criminals back out on the street. You know that. One of the things. And it was another reason that I left la. One of the things is they decriminalized. If you were Trespassing on someone's property. So that meant someone could literally jump the fence at your home, put up a tent, and they wouldn't be able to arrest them, or they would just have this rotating thing where they would be arrested for a minute and then sent back out on the street. Like, it's every layer of civilizational rot. And LA now has it. And here you have the LA police chief completely disagreeing with her. The mayor. The mayor's like, well, they brought it in, and now it's made it much worse. There he is being like, yeah, we'd like to work, work with these people. And again, look at these images. Do you think. Does it look like. So you either have to think that the National Guard caused this. It was the National Guard that got that guy on the motorcycle who snorted a bunch of meth and then was, like, watching Mad Max backwards and then started doing that. That was because of the National Guard. All of this is because of the National Guard, or is it because these people have been radicalized? There's a massive mental health crisis in our country. We have allowed Marxism and jihadism to be taught in our schools, and we don't have proper policing. So the National Guard are going to their job. There's this lady, Kamala Harris. She had a soft coup against the sitting President of the United States, then ran a $2 billion campaign that was one of the worst, most fraudulent campaigns in American political history. Probably the most. She's from Los Angeles. She tweeted this out. Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are seeing or what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. Us in addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump administration's cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division. This administration's actions are not about public safety. They're about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process. Protest is a powerful tool essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD mayor and governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful. I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms. Hey, lady. You stupid bitch. They are our fundamental rights and freedoms, not other peoples who illegally came here. But this is the perfect example of what the Democrats do with everything. Shell game, shell game. Never see who's actually causing the violence, creating the chaos. You just point largely at Donald Trump and try to figure out how a bunch of cadre of white supremacists are taking over the street. Streets. It will be interesting. Now I asked the guys right before we were trying to figure out what parts of LA is all of this happening? Largely it's happening in downtown la, but you know, Kamala, I don't know exactly where you live, but I'm sure it's up in a hill and I'm sure it's a really, really nice house and it will be interesting if they start burning the hills because Molotov cocktails. The thing is there's a bunch of alcohol in there and it's pretty dry this time of year in Los Angeles. I was there during a lot of fires. Little fire start and all hell can break loose. They might burn down your whole hill, wherever you live. They might. And then will that be Donald Trump's fault or will it be the people that you are running cover for? Why is it that you want illegals in your city? Why is it that every day here in Miami, virtually every day, I still still, whether I'm at the store or I'm at the playground or I'm playing basketball or whatever I'm doing, I still am meeting people who are, are fleeing your city and coming here. Why is it that the same exact home, like stylistically that is built the same way and everything else, why is it that it basically costs double in Miami than it cause that it costs in Los Angeles? Because nobody wants to live there anymore and you guys have pushed all of these people out. Let's not forget Gavin Newsom also basically single handedly pushed Elon out and pushed all of his companies out, including Tesla and including Starlink and now X and everything else and they're moving all to Texas. So you're also taking your tax base away. Now this is, this is just pure, this is just pure joy, this one. It's been, it's been a rather unsettling show I would say so far, but this is just pure joy. Here's Maxine Waters, a woman who looks like a used catcher's Mitch showing up to an LA federal building and a cop slamming the door in her face. No, I want you to. Hello, Hello, Hello, Congresswoman Waters. I just came to use my congressional authority to check on. Love you securely. Now to all visitors, excuse me, I need to get in contact our public apparel. I need to get in. I, I look, I don't even know whether she spoke. Her congressional authority allows her to just wander in there. Also note that the door seemed to be boarded up because these people love peace and tolerance so much that, you know, everybody that they're going against has to board up their doors. I just like the door being slammed in her face. Maybe she should have been allowed in the building. Let's just let it be. Here's Cory Booker, a man who did not urinate for 25 hours. 25 hours without urinating. That's what it says on his desk. I'm a guy who didn't urinate for 25 hours. Here he is telling you that the riots of which we just showed you, and there's many more videos out there if you want to see them for yourself. Here is he. Here he is telling you that they're peaceful. The reality is we see peaceful protests launching in Los Angeles. And again, any violence against police officers should not be accepted. Local authorities can handle that. But remember, a lot of these peaceful protests are being generated because the President. United States is sowing chaos and confusion by arresting people who are showing up for their immigration hearings. Corey, it's very impressive. Again, I said it before. I said it again. I'm peeing usually once a night at this point. Okay, 49. In a couple weeks, I am. So the fact that you did not urinate for 25 hours is impressive. And I want to just put a pin in that and move on. The fact that you seem to be unable to make this simple. Get to the simple conclusion that these people are. People are illegal, that Donald Trump has been ran on this. Everybody said this was happening. There's plenty of video of Tom Homan and others saying, we're coming. Why are you protecting illegal? Why? And you barely make the distinction that they're even illegal. Right, like you just kind of gloss over that. And why are you telling us that they're peaceful? Connor, give me an image of something peaceful. Yeah, peaceful. That seems peaceful. I know if this guy was standing outside of my house, I'd be like, oh, there's a peace loving guy who just wants to hang out. Let's get the tea. Okay, here's Bernie Sanders and well, just go. What is your response to the fact that the president has ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to California? Look, Donna, we have a president who is moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. This guy wants all of the power. He does not believe in the Constitution. He does not believe in the rule of law. Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie. Let's try it this way. I'm not even gonna do the impression of you today. I just got back. I don't want to blow out the vocal cords. Donald Trump, it's interesting what you do there. First off, this is your base, Bernie, and the revolution always eats its own. So eventually they will destroy you. And that will be a beautiful ending to you. I know you've had a nice little resurgence for the last couple weeks as you fly private for your Fight the Oligarchy tour. You're gonna have to put that on pause, by the way, right now, because the cities are burning. So there's gonna be a little, A little problem there because there's an actual fight, not your imaginary fight. But Bernie, Donald Trump wants to be an authoritarian. Donald Trump is doing what he was voted in to do. Your base, the crazed Marxist lunatics that you used, right, you used and abused and pretended that you were a Marxist and a communist for 40 years doing nothing. No major piece of legislation has your name on it. I think you got a post office moved in Vermont at one point. But no other piece of legislation has your name on it that has any bearing on anything that has been important to anyone. You did become a millionaire in all of this. And now your radical base is burning down Los Angeles and you want to make it seem like the guy who's trying to get the people to stop throwing Molotov cocktails is the bad guy. I don't like you, Bernie Sanders. I also don't like cnn. And here's a compilation of them telling you not to see what you can see with your own eyes. So there's unrest. Let's start with there's protest, lawful protest which is allowed in this country. There is some unrest generally dealt with by local law enforcement. But even as people are voicing their disagreement with that, calling in the National Guard in the way that he did was. Was not necessary. Absolutely overkill, and seems to now being escalating the problem because of Donald Trump's actions. Yeah, it sounds like what you're saying, if I'm understanding, is in your belief what we're seeing, the car on fire, etcetera, is a direct. That escalation is directly correlated with the National Guard being brought. Brought in. Look, on one level, protests are always about images, about spectacle. You might even say it's about theater. And we are seeing that play out in la. And I think it's valuable to have that perspective as we see some of these pictures, especially as we zoom out and we recognize that the unrest is isolated, is not overtaking the entire city of la. LA is home to millions of people, most of whom are having a normal day here. On Sunday, you know, let's hope that no one is hurt and no one is injured and it doesn't escalate from here. Look at the flag yet, guy. There it is. Mexican flag. Can you know. You know, this is. This is criminal activity that I hope people are held accountable for. And I'm talking about the riots right here. Where are the cops? Yeah, where are they? Fox is able to get it right for some reason. I love Stelter. Stelter, a man who they fired at CNN because he was. He was the perfect avatar of everything that a lying media has done for us for years. He then took a job teaching media at Harvard. I mean, can you, like. It's just so beyond ironic and obvious and everything else. And now he's back on CNN to tell you that you don't see what you see. You're right, Stelter. I guess to some extent that Los Angeles is a city of millions of people and it's not absolutely everywhere, but it's significant enough. And do you know what happens if you don't stamp it out at the beginning? It will spread. It will come. So. So what are you trying to defend? You abject buffoon. Now, interestingly, you guys may remember that in 1992 during the Rodney King riots, that there were rooftop Koreans. For some reason I felt like I was going to say that wrong. There were rooftop Koreans. These were people who owned a lot of Korean. God bless these gu. You remember this? I so remember this. This was during the 1992 NBA playoffs and it was first round Blazers versus Lakers and LA was burning down and they had to move the Blazers Lakers game to. To unlv. Drexler had a freaking awesome Ali oop dunk from Jerome Kersey. Game four. That was game game three, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, these rooftop Koreans, because the city was burning down and the police could not do their thing. The rooftop Koreans wanted to defend their little shops and their bodegas because they are good American. And they show me that image one more time and they got up there with guns and they said, you motherfuckers, don't burn down our stores in the name of. What was it before it was called? Social justice. Anyway, there's this guy, Tony Moon. He became one of the most famous rooftop Koreans and he tweeted this out in response to one of these videos you called because a lot of people basically. And look at his. His name is Roof Korean 7. I'd like to meet Roof Korean 1. But the point is there are all these people saying where are the rooftop Koreans right now? Like, if you can't trust that the police will do the proper policing, if you have an administration that will not back them properly, then people are going to take the law into their own hands. And by the way, you have every right to defend your property and your family and your home and all of those things. Let's jump back over to cnn. Here's Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen basically smacking around Dana Bash as to this debate around whether the National Guard started this or not, starting with what's happening in California. The last. Thank you. The last time the National Guard was federalized was 1992 during the LA riots. Then it was done at the governor's request. In fact, the president hasn't unilaterally federalized the National Guard since LBJ sent troops to Alabama in nineteen nineteen sixty five to protect civil rights marchers. That's according to the Brennan Center. So my question for you is, why does this situation justify the president bypassing California's governor entirely? Well, you got two issues here. You have a very weak, lawless believing governor and Governor Newsom who's not enforcing the nation's laws. And then you had a bipartisan Biden administration for the last four years that didn't enforce our immigration laws, which is why we need to pass this one big, beautiful bill so we can secure our border and focus on getting these illegals out of the country, regardless of what they may be doing right now. They enter the country illegally, and therefore they are illegal and they are criminals and they need to be deported. And I don't know why a governor would want to try to protect illegal activity inside a state. State. You know, it's so interesting. It's like I've never seen a video of this guy before, but there he is just laying out the truth. Do we have a country or do we not have a country? Right? Like, do you let illegals come in and then do whatever they want? And then when we try to get rid of them, we allow masked vigilantes to attack the people who are trying to do the right thing? Like, do you think that's okay? Do you think it's okay that people are throwing Molotov cocktails at Holocaust survivors? And at some point, if you say, all right, well, just, we'll just kind of let them get away with it, or we'll always make it seem like the people who are trying to do the right thing and make it so. So that the average family could just live their life like Stelters. It's it's such an extraordinarily dim way of looking at the world. Well, it's just a little part of LA that's burning down. It's just, you know, it's just the skid row downtown area. Well, you know, I don't know. The staple center is downtown. People go to basketball games. Like, what is it that you actually want? How profoundly dim and evil are all of you people? I would say quite dim and profoundly awful. Connor, do we have the video that I'm hoping for? In one second, I'm going to show you. So in 1992, I remember watching this live. It was during the Rodney King riots. I was 16 years old. 1992, round one, Blazers versus Lakers. The ball of basketball behind me there is from a Blazers early 90s Blazers game, actually. And they had to move because LA was burning down. They literally had to move the game from what was then the Forum. That's where the Lakers played. They had to move it to unlv. And this is just a great dunk. Just watch this. Cliff Robinson. A tough turnaround. And Cliff Robinson of Portland rebounds Percy down court. Highlight film time. What a perfectly time. Come on, let's talk about gravity to fire, which actually that's exactly what Drexler did right there. Then we'll have more on illegal nonsense. You guys know I'm all that logic and reason. And here's some simple logic. If your feet are killing you at the end of the day, you need new shoes. That's why I love G Defy shoes by gravity defier. Their patented verso shock technology absorbs harmful shock, returns energy and is designed to make walking, running and standing feel effortless.

Just text REUBEN30 to 91888 or visit gdify.com and use code REUBEN30 at checkout. Use logic. Choose comfort. G Defy. All right, so what has ginned up all of this lunacy, you might argue? Well, it was the slow march through the institutions where for, you know, 30, 40 years, basically the leftists and the Marxists took over the minds of young people. And now nobody knows what's good or bad anymore. Nobody knows how to stand up up for America anymore. We've allowed big government crazed democrats to systematically destroy our cities. We've allowed all the Soros das in. Like there's a lot of stuff. There's a lot of stuff. But what's gone on over the last couple months, for example, that might connect to some of this? Well, the big story over the last couple months as it pertained to deportations was there was this guy by the name of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and he was an illegal El Salvadorian immigrant who was living in. In Maryland who was trafficking people, who beat his wife with a boot and was doing several other bad things, who was then sent to El Salvador. And the Democrats, because they're always playing the shell game, they got very upset. They didn't care about the American that was living under Gaza for the last 500 days. They were very upset that this illegal El Salvadorian immigrant who beat his wife with a boot and was trafficking people was sent back to the place that he was actually from, the only place he has a passport from. From. Well, anyway, they went crazy about this guy. Well, guess what? He's back. We'll have some reasoning for it. Listen to this from cnn. And, of course, listen to the way they frame it. Man mistakenly deported to El Salvador has been returned to the U.S. okay, he was not mistakenly deported, but we'll. Okay, like, you just can't do anything. Honestly, you can't. Now you might be going, well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. We booted this guy. He had a margarita with Van Hollen. What the hell's going on here? Here's Pam Bondi on why we brought this guy back. And remember, remember, this is the guy that the Democrats love. This is especially disturbing because Abrego Garcia is also alleged with transporting minor children. The defendant traded the innocence of minor children for profit. There are even more disturbing facts that the grand jury uncovered. It is alleged this defendant is part of the same smuggling ring responsible for the death of more than 50 migrants in 2021 after the tractor trailer overturned in Mexico. This is part of that same ring. The defendant abused undocumented alien females according to co conspirators who were under his control while transporting them throughout our country. This defendant trapped, trafficked firearms and narcotics throughout our country on multiple occasions. A co conspirator alleged that the defendant solicited nude photographs and videos of a minor. A co conspirator also alleges the defendant played a role in the murder of a rival gang member's mother. My pen is gonna run out of ink just writing down this guy's resume. I mean, you got the firearms, you got the beating of people. You got the child porn. You got the abused undocumented females. You got the smuggling. Like. Like, he's not a good guy. So why did we bring him back? Well, we're going to throw the boot at him, let's put it that way. He's going to be in a lot of trouble here. But now, now as the cities. So you can see how these things are connected, right, because the Democrats let all these people in. How many of the people, it's not just that. Let's say ICE went into Los Angeles and they grabbed some of those guys that hang out at Home Depot, right. Like it's, they, that's one thing. But then how many other illegals are out there in the streets with the masks, burning things down? We have no idea. And that because we had four years of a fake, absolutely fake administration run by a pen, an auto pen, basically, or whoever happened to have access to it at the moment. So Abrego Garcia, like all of the chaos that's out on the streets, well, it's been ginned up by misinformation as it pertains to the mainstream media covering the Abrego Garcia case. They wanted this guy to be a hero. Anyway, he's back here. He's going to be charged with all of those things. Quite a resume on that guy. We'll find out what happens to him. Him over on CNN here they, this is unbelievable. Here they refer to Representative Glenn Ivey. Now, I assume that Glenn Ivy is the representative of the district that Abrego Garcia illegally lived in in Maryland. Here they refer to him as Abrego Garcia's representative in Congress, which is not possible because he was illegal. Congressman Ivey, you of course are Albergo Garcia's representative in Congress. You went down there to El Salvador not too long ago. No, he's not his representative. The representative represents the people who legally live in that district. He was illegal. His elected representative is somebody in El Salvador. God, you morons. Stephen Miller, who's been just one of the great, great assets to Trump when it comes to going on these stupid shows like CNN and just cleaning up the nonsense. Here he is with CNN's Pam Brown. Undocumented migrant sent a letter threatening to kill the president, promising to self deport after the assassination. CNN reporting shows that investigators believe the migrant was set up. It was a victim of a setup. What is the administration going to do now? And this is an undocumented immigrant. I do want to do note that, but this was someone who came forward, was a victim of a crime and now law enforcement believes he was set up. Go ahead. Well, I want to clarify what you mean so we're talking about the same thing. Are you saying this. This immigrant was here illegally? Yes, but I am, and that's why I said that. I clarify. You said it just said undocumented, and I wasn't clear what that means. I'm assuming they have a fake id. I'm a few assuming they have a fix. Okay, that's neither here nor there. I want, I want this to be, and call me naive, a good faith discussion about what's happening right now. When we use language that's designed to obscure the truth, that's not. Good faith is an illegal alien. Yeah, you're not a naive lady. You're just a propagandist. That's what you are. You see how nervous she got? That's great. That's a great job by Miller. Once again, why are you so afraid to say that they're illegal? If I right now got in the car and drove over to Texas and then decided to drive right in to Mexico, do you think that that would be legal or illegal? It would be illegal, but it's an undocumented migrant and you have to understand they've done this like we're living in 1984. They have used all of these words to confuse people, but the fact is these people are illegal. We have given them a chance for three months roughly to leave, to self deport, download the app, get in line to come back. They haven't. And then at the same time, unfortunately, the left has, has just created such a groundswell of support for just general chaos and anarchy that we are getting this out on the street. We'll connect this to some of the other just kind of woke craziness and, and then, yes, as I promised, yes, we will do a bit of the Trump Elon stuff at the end. But first grade, I started this show to cut through the noise and expose the truth. And now that Trump's back, the media's already twisting headlines to fit their agenda. That's why I've partnered with Ground News. Ground News isn't a publisher. It's an independent app and website that aggregates coverage from across the political spectrum. It shows you how different outlets are reporting the same story so you can see the spin and decide what's true for yourself. Their best feature, the Blind Spot feed, which is a curated list of stories that one side of the political spectrum is ignoring completely. It's a powerful way to spot bias and stay informed. Right now, you can use the same plan that I have. For 40% off, just go to Ground News, Rubin or Scan the QR code on the screen to get their unlimited access vantage plan. That's ground news. Rubin for 40% off supporting them, also supports independent voices like mine. All right, so let's just try to like back up here for a second and move away from the direct violence and the chaos right now and the, and the way the media lies about it and everything and everything else. What we're largely seeing here is very much what I've talked about on this show for years, that this woke thing, this monster that the progressive movement created where it was going to have these America hating lunatics and these jihadists and these communists and the gender queer weirdos and this alliance of lunacy, it was going to lead to something really, really dangerous. And even though obviously the election of Donald Trump, Trump is a major pushback on that and we've seen the culture change and people are being a little less politically correct and all that stuff, even though that is all true and we've pushed a lot of the DEI stuff out of our institutions, it's still here. And what we're seeing right now is that it still has an ability to basically destroy a city. Like if you're just somebody trying to go to work and you're trying to get on the 405 or the whatever, what other roads they got there that they're taking over the 110. I blocked that whole period of life out of my mind at this point. Like it's affecting you, but still there are some confused people. So I'm going to do a little soft gloves thing. Do we have the Bill Maher intro for this one or we're going straight into it. We don't have it today. Mondays with Maher. Do we have it? Do we have it? We do have it. So here's Mondays with Mar. So Maher had one of the Nelk boys on his podcast on the Club Random podcast. And they got into it about where is the real threat still as it stands in America. And it's pretty obvious to me, and I think it's pretty obvious to you. It's not to say, say that the right couldn't go out of control. It's not to say there, there aren't some things on the right that I, I see right now that I think could be harbingers of a negative future. Of course there are. And things go cyclically and the sides always flip and it's the liberals who are now, you know, it's the conservatives now defending liberalism and all those things. But which side do you think right now, as it stands, is more of an existential threat to America. Is it the people who are constantly lying about everything, who are not proud of this country, who don't know the difference between boys and girls and all that stuff. Stuff who are quite literally throwing Molotov cocktails at people? Is it that side and the people that run cover for them? Or is it right? Is it the right that's basically trying to bring in law and order here is Mar getting into it with one of the Nelk boys. His name is Kyle Foragard. Because I recognize the craziness on the other side, too, and I call them out on their just as much. It's just that if I had to balance the two. The left, yes, is still less fundamentally existentially threatening. And it actually affects ways. The left just got to like the woke got too far, you know what I mean? And it is bad and it has affected lots of people, just not as much as if we never really have an election again. And a lot of the other stuff. What do you mean by that? Like I just said, there'll be no more. What do you mean there's no more elections? When a Democrat loses, like Kamala, like Hillary, they go away. They understand there's a winner and a loser in elections. You think if Trump lost this last one, he would have just accepted it? Probably not. Yeah, right. I don't think that's a right issue. I think that's just a Trump issue. Okay, so first off, that's not true, because when Trump lost, then they tried to jail him. We had impeachments when he was president. I don't want to get into January 6th or any of that nonsense sense. But what's interesting, and I think it's worth this, is not me dunking on Bill right now. This is. I think it represents a certain mindset which I think is actually dangerous. Like, Bill, the city that you live in right now, Los Angeles, is burning. I know it's not the entire city, as Stelter said, but a portion of it is. And it could get to the nicer areas. And if it did, and the fire was burning its way up this time of year when things burn, you might think it's an existential threat. Threat. So this is again, where the liberals generally have a blind spot, I would say, when it comes to what the real threat is. And that's very unfortunate. Now, I want to also connect this to the story that was sort of really catching fire, no pun intended, over the weekend, which was about, you guys know, Riley Gaines, who is the incredible female, an actual female who swims in races. She's done it for years. She was one of the best swimmers in the entire country. Country. And then she was repeatedly beat by the. The boy. What was his name again? Who had. And who. Who actually kept the penis. Which. Yeah, Leah Thomas and Connor always believed. That was the Connor theory. That Leah Thomas, that's. The boy was using the penis as an extra propeller to win these things. No, no, it's the Connor theory. It was your theory. I'm not going to take credit for it. Anyway, watch. Check out this tweet from Riley Gaines. So this is. She's retweeting the Minnesota State High School league softball and meet Champlin park, the class quadruple A softball state champion for 2025. And of course the pitcher happens to be a boy, which did not work out that well for the girls. And Riley retweeted that and said comments off lol. To be expected when your star player is a boy. And now here's what started this thing going catching fire over the weekend. So Simone Biles. And Simone, you may remember her, she was an Olympic gymnast. Or I guess she is an Olympic. Olympic gymnast. She has just decided to take the wrong side of the. Of the woke thing. This is a girl who beat girls when she was doing gymnastics in the Olympics. She always beat actual girls. Riley Gaines is a girl who lost to a boy. Here is Simone Biles on that. Riley Gaines, you're truly sick. All of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive or creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category in all sports. But instead you bully them. One thing's for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around. I mean, it's. And so she got basically wrecked. Wrecked on Twitter because people have had it with this. If trans people want to have their own, there aren't enough of them anyway. But if you want to have your own league and your own divisions, I suppose that's fine. The other version of this would be if you think that there are no biological differences between boys and girls, then let's not have boys and girls sports. You is. It was the girls, it was the feminists that always wanted to make sure that girls sports could be funded, right? That girls would get the access boys have. But now it's the feminists who are saying boys should be allowed to beat girls in sports. So how about we just have none of that. We could end the WNBA too, right? It loses a ton of money every year. How about we have no girls sports and we make everything an absolute meritocracy. And there will be virtually no girls playing in high school sports. There will be no professional girls sports leagues because even the girls Olympic soccer team got crushed by, what was it, a 15 year old boys team. So if you want to do it that way. But instead it's framed, of course, Simone Biles. You're framing it as if Riley Gaines is just bitter. And she might be a little bitter because a boy beat her, not a girl. Anyway, she responded to Simone and said, this is actually so disappointing. It's not my job or the job of any woman to figure out how to include men in our spaces. You can uplift men stealing championships in women's sports with your platform. Men don't belong in women's sports. And I say that with my full chest. Is that a boob joke? Did she make a boob joke there? Was that a boob joke? I'm not sure. My good friend Sage Steele, who's been on the forefront of all of this, she retweeted the crazy thing that Simone Biles said and she said, said this. Easy to say this, Simone Biles, when you only had to compete against fellow women. Every one of your Olympic medals came from competing against fellow women. Riley Gaines was not only forced to compete against a man, but forced to share a locker room with that man. That is sick, shocked at, disappointed that you'd attack another woman who done nothing but uplift other women. If you think it makes sense to create a league for trans people, go for it. Use that huge platform of yours. But to attack Riley for what she has done for little girls, girls who want to be the next Simone Biles is sick. I love Sage and she's just absolutely the best. And of course that is right. Simone Biles is trying to guilt, is trying to guilt her basically into creating the trans league. But why don't you do it? And it is kind of funny because your opinions on this might be a little bit different if a boy had made it so that you couldn't get on that Olympic team. Of course USA Today saw it and they wrote this. Simone Biles shows her greatness again in her standing up for the transgender community in a sane world. Ladies and gentlemen, the article would read, Riley Gaines shows her greatness again for standing up for women. That's what it should say. Riley saw that and said this. She hardly stood up for the trans community, but instead just personally attacked someone who stands up for women and girls. Prepare for an astronomically embarrassing ratio. That's when people comment on the tweet more than like it or retweet it because they realize how ridiculous it is. And now one more on this. And I think you can see how these things are all connected. You know, the line that I use from Douglas Murray all the time is that one day the barbarians will be at the gate and we'll be debating what gender pronouns to call them. And that's where we are at right now. We went through this insane woke thing that destroyed so much and we got so lost in fighting whether boys or girls or girls or boys, or whether boys should beat the crap out of girls in swimming and sports and all of this, this stuff, that then we also let mass jihadis take over our streets. And then somehow the media frame it that they're just peaceful protesters while the people who are trying to bring peace to the streets are demonized as evil and Nazis and everything else. And you can't even say the word illegal without being called all the worst things in the world. So check this out. This is also from Riley Gaines. And what you're going to see here is Simone Biles talking about how she once had to survive and endure a predatory men man and then versus her tweet, which is of course. Well, we got into it already. Watch this. I am also a survivor of sexual abuse. And I believe without a doubt that the circumstances that led to my abuse and allowed it to continue are directly the result of the fact that the organizations created by Congress to oversee and protect me as an athlete, USA Gymnastics, and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee Committee, failed to do their jobs. I don't want another young gymnast, Olympic athlete, or any individual to experience the horror that I and hundreds of others have endured before, during and continuing to this day in the week of the Laryng Asser abuse. To be clear. Sorry, take your time to be clear. I blame Lar and I also blame an entire system that enabled and perpetrated his abuse. Okay, I don't know the full story on what happened to her with this Larry Nassar guy. Obviously, whatever happened to her is most likely horrible. Assuming it's real, it's most likely horrible. I have no reason to doubt her, but she only cares about the predatory behavior of men when she's the victim. How about when these other girls are the victim? The fact that Lia Thomas still has a dick and was in the thing with the propeller and the Entire thing. Why do you not care about girls then? Men, like, think about that. Simone Biles. So who's really standing up for women without all of these caveats? Is it you or is it Riley Gaines? And it's obviously Riley Gaines. So, okay, so what do we do in the face of all of this? What do we do in the face of the gender confusion that's, you know, it's kind of going away, but clearly not going away. What do we do in the face of our cities burning down and then our media running cover for it? And, you know, no, I'm telling you guys, this is how I started the show. And I'm telling you, this is what they are going to do. We are headed for another summer of love. This thing will then move to New York. It will move to likely Chicago and Portland and other people, other places. You have to wonder, we don't know how many people came here. How many bad actors are there. Why are they all masked? Blah, blah, blah. Like, this is the thing now. So what do we need to do? We need to band together. We need to put aside if you love America, if you love freedom and liberty and all of those things. If you think this thing's fundamentally good, we got to find out. Allies right now. So now let me connect this to the Trump Elon fight, because I was just getting on the plane. It was. We had a 1am flight back from Israel, and I was just getting on the plane as the Elon Trump story was breaking. And I was like, oh, God, now I'm going to dip out for 12 hours. No wifi. Have no idea what's going to happen. Well, it did get pretty nasty. It subsequently has gotten a little bit better. But let's just dive in. This is truth from Donald Trump. Here's two of them. Elon was wearing thin. I asked him to leave. I took away his EV mandate that forced everyone to buy electric cars that nobody else wanted, that he knew for months I was going to do. And he just went crazy. Okay, that's on June 5th. Then, basically, at the same time, Trump wrote, the easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars, is to terminate Elon's governmental subsidies and contracts. Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it. Now then in response, Elon tweeted, this time to drop the really big bomb. Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, Donald Trump. Okay, so let me pause for just a moment before we show you some video. Look, obviously this alliance that Trump and Elon have forged has been unbelievable, almost unimaginable. And I don't know that anyone has covered it more positively than I have have. And seeing Elon come aboard and buy X and put all the money in and go and give the speeches and do doge for no money and all those things, it has been incredible. He was one of those airlocks that opened up that allowed all of these people to get on board the Trump train. So whatever was causing some of the tension here, and it largely had to do with this big, beautiful bill. And that Elon, more than anything else, felt, hey, we just did all this work cutting all this money from the budget, and that's going to basically make it so that the deficit won't increase. But now you guys, through the big, beautiful bill, are also spending so much that the deficit will increase. That seemingly is what caused it. Maybe it had something to do with the ev mandates. Doesn't matter. What I think everybody wanted at first was, guys, don't do this publicly, like, work this thing out. But I also understand we're in a bit of kayfabe in politics. Like, it's all theater. It's like bread and crumbs for the masses, and everyone enjoys the fight. Then Elon Musk obviously escalated it to say the Epstein thing. But I do want to say, and I think Elon has actually deleted that tweet already. Just because Trump was on a log, if that's what Elon is insinuating, doesn't mean Trump did anything. Right. Like the whole idea of a honey pot, if that's what the Epstein thing was, that you'd get all of these rich people and everyone would have some dirt on them. Not everybody has to do the disgusting thing. Who knows what anyone knew or anything else. Like, I have no more insight into that than you. You do. Anyway, it seems to be calming down a little bit. Here's Trump on that. What's your view on Elon Musk? Honestly, I've been so busy working on China, working on Russia, working on Iran, working on so many things. I'm not thinking about him. You know, I just wish him well. All right. You know, that's not the Donald Trump we usually see when someone's going after him in, like, kind of the most over the top ways. It's not Donald Trump to say I wish him well. Well. But I think enough people did push back on Elon online where he started deleting some of the tweets and whatever, whatever thing he was going through. Look, it's like, guys, there is a huge problem in the country and in this world, right? Like somebody wrote a book called don't burn this country. The country could start burning right now. The whole world. Well, that's the name of the tour I was just doing. The whole world could start burning. And if Elon and Trump, whatever that chasm is right there, and maybe there was some behind the scenes stuff, stuff there might have, who the hell knows? But we got to close that thing because right now we got a much bigger enemy to fight. And it is a worldwide jihad that is now combined with this Marxist lunacy and all of the illegals that are in all of our countries and God knows what they are planning to do. So I am going to work very hard, as I consistently have this year, to mend as much of this, to keep this thing together to the best extent that we can. Here's JD Vance went on a podcast talking about how Trump did not do anything wrong as it pertains to, to Epstein and that maybe some of the attacking isn't the best thing that could be happening right now. Here's, here's my basic reaction to like all this stuff is, look, first of all, like, absolutely not. Donald Trump didn't do anything wrong with Jeffrey Epstein. Like, there's. The guy is whatever the Democrats and the media says about him, that's totally bs. Here's my basic, my basic read on it. First of all, I'm the Vice president to President Trump. My loyalties are always going to be with the president. And I think that Elon, he's an incredible entrepreneur. He's actually done, I think Doge was really good. This sort of effort to root out waste, fraud and abuse in our country is really good. And look, man, I'm always going to be loyal to the President and I hope that eventually Elon kind of comes back into the fold. Maybe that's not possible now because he's gone so nuclear. Well, it's. Hope it is, man, because why though? Do you know why? Yeah, I mean, so look, I think number one, so Elon's new to politics, right? So his businesses are being attacked non stop. They're literally like firebombing some of his cars. And by the way, we're looking into a lot of this. I mean, some of that stuff we're looking into is an act of terrorism at the Department of Justice, because I think it is an act of terrorism. So I think part of it is this guy got into politics and it's has suffered a lot for it, but I understand, like, it's a good bill. It's not a perfect bill. Like, the process in D.C. if you're a business leader, you probably get frustrated with that process because it's more, you know, bureaucratic. It's more slow moving. Yeah. So I think there's just some frustrations there. But I really, man, I think it's a huge mistake for him to go after the president like that. And I think that if he and the president are in some blood feud, most importantly, it's gonna be bad for the country. But I think it's gonna be. I don't think it's gonna be good for Elon either. I think that's right, and I think that shows you why JD has been such an asset to Trump since day one. I mean, since the day he selected him. And I wanted. Originally, you remember, I wanted Trump to go with someone like Tulsi, because I thought that would widen the thing a little bit more. But Trump went with his instincts, and I think they've turned out to be right. But he is extremely good at explaining these things in very simplistic language. Even his body language there, the tone that he's talking about. This is not good for anybody. So, yes. Does it seem like the crux of this thing is basically that Elon did all of this work for all the cuts? He probably was enjoying the EV stuff, too. Even though Trump has repeatedly seen, said he was never asked for anything, Elon never asked him for anything as it pertained to subsidies or anything else. Then Elon looks at the bill, and he's like, wait a minute, wait a minute. Somehow, after all the cuts, we're doing something called a big, beautiful bill that's going to add to the deficit. Screw this. And then you have two guys that burn kind of hot, that are larger than life figures. And then it gets kind of nasty. But as I said, the tweets have been. Many of the Elon tweets have been reversed or deleted. And then this is interesting. This is from Autism Capital, and it's a quote of what we just showed you there from JD in the podcast. It says, hopefully, this is JD Hopefully, Elon figures it out and comes back. The president is a little frustrated, but he's actually been restrained because he doesn't want to be in some blood feud with Elon Musk. I think if Elon chills out a little bit, everything will be fine. And then Elon saw that and he wrote, cool. Okay, so maybe calmer heads will Prevail. I know we have a way right now, just because of the nature of the Internet, for everyone to pour gasoline on everything. Actually, when I got off the plane and I started looking at X, I immediately saw all of the usual cast of characters. It was the Elon camp trying to destroy the Trump people, who it was, and then going back the other way and it was like, man, you guys all loved each other two days ago and now you're all saying the worst things about each other. So I was like, I'm just going to sit out of this one for a moment and let everybody take a breath and see what happens. And it does appear that the breath and the pause hopefully will do do some good things. How am I combining all of this to bring this show home? Well, part of all of this is that Elon bought X so that we could get out of the fog. We have been in a massive fog for a long time with a media that has lied to us about everything. So the barbarians were going to be at the gate. We wouldn't know what gender pronoun to call them. The media would be lying to us about who the barbarians actually were in the first place. Like, we have just, just been in a fog. And I would say we are now at an interesting moment in this country and everyone all over the world is looking to us. Trust me, I was just in Hungary and Israel, they're looking to us for leadership. When I was in London a few months ago and I talked to people from dozens of countries, everyone wants America to lead. So right now is to. Sounds a little corny, but it is our time of choosing. Like, America has to choose its path. And which path do you want? Do you want open border? Do you want endless chaos? Do you want terrorism in our streets? Do you want all of the woke stuff to usher back in? Or do we want to stem the tide? Do we want to right the ship and get to that golden age? I think it's fairly obvious what most sane people want to do. And how are we going to do that? Well, we're going to have to get over things like this large group of people. It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers. My God, we may have to throw back that one for a second. It's just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn. What a perfect example. As your city burns, you run cover for the people that are Burning it. And then in the same sentence you blame the people who just go back to it. Large group of people. It could turn very volatile. If you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way way and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and and demonstrator, it could turn very volatile. Connor, throw me the image one more time of the guy from Mad Max standing on that. I would say that's very volatile. That might be considered very volatile. If you google very volatile, that might show. So we have to choose. Will you choose the side of western civilization? Will you choose the side that will allow for human flourishing? Will you choose the side that will allow you to pursue your happiness? Or will you do the other thing and just burn it all down? Right. There you go. It's a hell of a lot easier to do that. And I would end with this. It's a quote that I often show you, but it is just perfect. Let's throw it up. You know this one. Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times. Let's get hard people. Post game show rubinreport.locals.com in 30 seconds. Goodbye. There's the American dream and the California dream. There's no Alabama dream. Eat your heart out. Texas, Tennessee and Florida. This is California. The world looks to us to see that it's possible to live, advance and prosper together across every conceivable difference. It's what makes this state great, that we don't tolerate that diversity as we once had. But we truly can look today and talk in terms of how we celebrate that.
