All right, ladles and jelly spoons. It's June 26, 2026. That's right. Dave Rubin is 50 years old today. I know I don't look a day over 32. Happy birthday to me. But more importantly than that, joining me for this Friday Roundtable extravaganza are two old friends, Sarah Gonzalez of Sarah Gonzalez Unfilter, and the host of before the Noise, my old friend, Chad Prather. Chad, Sarah. How are you?
B
I'd be better if you didn't emphasize the old when you introduced me.
C
Well, you notice she's the only one that caught that. Like, I felt good about that. I'm just happy to be here.
B
Well, I was gonna say you're 50 years young, Dave, not 50 years old.
A
Yes, 50 years young. And when I say old friend, what I mostly mean is not really about age. It's that you guys are on the. What I keep calling the ever shorter list of people who are sane. So it's not even that you guys are such old friends as much as you're just on the short list of sane people, because we've watched so many people go insane. Does that feel a little better, Sarah?
B
Yes. Yes. And I'd like to stay there on that list.
A
And, you know, you guys used to be colleagues at the Blaze. Chad, you're not at the Blaze anymore. Are you guys enemies in any way? Do I have to address any of that, or you guys are good?
C
No, we're still on speaking terms. We just don't do it.
B
Yeah, he's.
A
We're still on speaking terms.
B
Yeah.
A
All right, well, let's get cracking. There's obviously a lot to talk about, and this was just a very weird week for the country. I mean, this. I do not call it Democrat socialism. I stopped calling it that years ago, and I said that they were going to stop calling it now. It's socialism. It really is communism. There's some Marxism. There's a little jihadism. It's just all of the worst isms mixed up into one thing. And of course, the Omni cause for all of this is the obsession, endless obsession with Israel. So here is Zorhan Momdami telling Chris Hayes that Dan Goldman, who was marginal, lefty, nothing great, but he got crushed by Brad Lander, who is just the most pathetic, dimmy douchebag I've ever seen. Oh, you guys also should know I'm in a lot of pain because of the shoulder. So there's gonna be some choice language on this show today. Here it is. It's all about Israel. For these people, this was really about
C
Israel and it was motivated by people's feelings about Israel. And I think the pro Israel folks would, you know, their anger, their rage, some even say it's anti Semitism. I don't necessarily sign on to that. But do you think it was like, fundamentally, is that what it was about the people and the Democratic Party supporting fundamentally or not doing enough to oppose the actions of the Israeli government over the last several years and continue actions in Gaza? I think that that played a major role. And it played a major role because New Yorkers have had to watch as tens of billions of our tax dollars
A
have been spent on bombs that not
C
only shred international law, but also the lives of civilians. And what they've seen is that while it is a Republican administration that is doing it now, it was also something that was bipartisan and continues to be. And I think there is a desire to see a politics of life be
A
at the center of what we are fighting for. I really just hate all of these demon people. And I put him, he's probably. I keep this whole week. Ro Khanna was at the top of my list of who I hate the most. And we should be keeping a tally on that, guys. But. All right, Sarah, there's just so much there. But first, maybe let's start with this obsession for local New York City races that clearly I will agree with Mamnami. It does all come down to Israel and the Jews with these guys. Like, the absurdity of that in and of itself already is just insane.
B
Yeah, I think it's, it's very interesting to hear him say, you know, what's his name? Chris. Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, Mark Cuban, whoever the hell that was.
A
To say Muppet Chris Hayes.
B
Yeah. To say, you know, some would say it's anti Semitism, but I wouldn't go that far. And it's like, why else would people hate Dan Gold? What does Dan Goldman have to do with anything that's happening in the Middle East?
A
Obviously, Dan Goldman was a prosecutor against Trump, by the way, so it's not like he, he has Trump derangement syndrome. That' good enough for these guys yet. Sorry, go ahead.
B
No, well, I mean that. Yeah, that's what I'm going to say. Like, it's, you're talking about Israel and dropping bombs and all of these cute little flowery language, you know, things that Zoran Mandani wants to say, but at the end of the day, it appears to just be about anti Semitism when you're talking about unseating Dan Goldman, a proud TDSer.
A
Chad, before you chime in, allow me to show you this video. It's from a few days before the election. Brad Lander, who won, he went to a mosque. And, well, this happened.
C
I believe, as a proud Jewish New Yorker, that Israel's genocide in Gaza is a desecration, is a violation of the understanding that everyone is created in God's image. Bismillah nir rahman Iraheem kuhu al khu awla hu ahad. Allahu samadhi.
A
Chad, we have no language requirements on the show today. You want to field this one?
C
I'll be good. I'll be good. But. But, yeah. So this is pandering, obviously, that's dressed up as some form of compassion. I've got to embrace their culture, embrace the whole thing. I've got to come out and apologize. I gotta. Because ultimately, this is about who can we blame for the mistreatment of brown people globally. Like, it's gotta be the Jews, right? It's gotta be the white people. It's gotta be the supremacists. It's gotta be the Nazis, the fascists, the nationalists. It's gotta be the Christians, it's gotta be the Jews. It all comes down to the Jews and the Jews. And trust me, there would be no such thing as Christianity if it wasn't for the Jews propping it up. I mean, I've heard everything at this stage in the game, and. And it's. It's this pandering on the part of the left where these guys are willing to throw everything, everything, their entire future to the wind. The future of the country to the wind. To pander for people who absolutely despise us as a country. They don't want anything about assimilation. They don't want anything about being a part of this country. They don't want to come here to be a part of this melting pot called America. They don't want any of that. And so these wackos on the left have got to keep coming out and singing the little dirges and doing the stuff and the religious ceremonies and go out on their apology tours. And so ultimately, in my opinion, Dave, it comes down to who can we blame for the most oppression against brown people globally. And you know what? Let's blame the Jews.
A
Sarah, I know you're fluent in Arabic, so I don't have to translate it for you, but at the end there, after Brad sang that lovely. Whatever that was, the imam got on and the last line was the killing of the infidels by the sword does Brad. Does. Asexual dimmy. Brad Lander. Sniveling, driveling. Nothing snot. Unashamed Brad Lander. Does he not realize that he is one of the infidels and that they will be less inclined to keep him around once he's not useful anymore?
B
Yeah, Dave, I'm a little unclear on your feelings on Brad Landers, so I'd like you to use some more descriptions. No, I just. The self destruction aspect of this is, like, not talked about enough. You have. He's like, I'm a Jewish guy and I love you guys. Well, the problem, Brad, is that they don't love you. In fact, they're just saying all the quiet parts out loud. I mean, you could. I've got montages of imams saying exactly what you just quoted. They are saying all of these things to our faces out loud, and we're still supposed to perform some Kumbaya ritual with them. It's just. It's so. It's. It's so. It's disgusting. It's pathetic. It's. It's disgusting. Especially with a man. I mean, you expect men to finally realize and stand up for this country and say, hey, maybe importing a bunch of people who actually want to conquer this entire country, the entire west, and blow us all up or make us submit to Allah, maybe we should stand up to them before it's too late. And then you've got soy boy over here, Brad Landers, who's like, hold my beer. I'm actually just gonna pray to Allah with them while they.
A
He's not. He's not a man. Sorry, Not a man. Whatever that is.
C
You know, like, yeah, he's a ball sack in a suit is what he is. And he kind of resembles that. You know, the. The. The cannibals in Papua New guinea had a phrase which translated means, they're fattening you with friendship. So they would bring you in, sit you around the fire, make you think that you were part of the tribe, and then they would eat you. And that's what's happening here. So when you see these Muslims taken to the streets by the thousands, whether it's in England or in New York City, and they're beating their chest and they're doing their ritualistic dances with each other. What they're doing is they're testing the parameters. They're testing this. This is a. This is actually a. An Islamic practice is they want to test and see how far can we push. And then one day they go in and they take over city hall and I mean they start doing it by force. They go in and they take over government buildings and they've done it in other countries and they're just testing the parameters of how far they can go. Where are the boundaries, where's the pushback finally going to happen? And they just keep coming in here having babies and we keep welcoming with open border policies and nut sacks like that dude are going to keep doing the pandering and, and then one day, guess what, we're all getting raped. Our throats are cut and we're beheaded. Him included.
A
Happy birthday to me.
C
Yeah, you're half 100, Dave.
A
Well, so the other interesting part of this is that. So Brad Lander beat this, this Dan Goldman guy. Dan Goldman again, he was a lefty, a progressive. He just didn't have, he wasn't even great on Israel, but he just, he didn't have complete obsessive hatred of that tiny little country that's surrounded by 50 Muslim states. Anyway, he goes to a coffee sh and then they post that they basically didn't want him there and he's a Zionist and all that that has now led. So this is the guy again. He wasn't great on Israel. He didn't want to make the campaign about Israel, whatever. But now that has led to protests. Take a look.
C
The group End Jew Hatred is calling
A
for a boycott of the coffee shop
C
chain, slamming its alleged discriminatory actions based on Goldman's support of the Jewish state. On Sunday, Goldman stopped in with his
A
seven year old daughter to buy a cup of coffee. But the shop then later refunded the
C
money posting that it does not serve,
A
quote, genocide, enablers, racists or fascists.
C
I mean it was ridiculous.
B
You know how many times I see all different religions come shop in a kosher supermarket. Nobody's throwing them out, we're not telling them to leave or refund them.
C
This is America, you can't do that.
B
It's ridiculous. What's going on over here? That's how it started in Nazi Germany.
A
Sarah. I remember a little something about a baker who didn't want to bake a custom cake and everybody was like, you damn well better not just a cake off the rack. It wasn't that he wasn't letting people into the store, it was to bake a custom cake against his religious beliefs. Suddenly those people are very quiet about someone being banned from just buying a cup of coffee.
B
Yeah, it's interesting how that plays out. You know, I just, I fear for our youth because obviously these People are the products of all of these institutions being taken over by communists. You've got, you know, people graduating these prestigious schools who go out there, and they probably were out there in, you know, in the protest, protesting all of these things. So I just. I fear for our youth. I fear for our institutions. Something has to happen, and it has to happen quick because they just throw around these, you know, Nazis, fascists, all these. All these buzzwords that they don't actually know. And it's. This is the result of that. So it's really. It's getting really scary out here, guys.
A
Chad, you mentioned the fattening up of the useful idiots. Watch this video. It's a guy by the name of Philip Millar talking about what's happening in Ham Track, Michig. And apparently queers for Palestine, very different than Palestine for queers. One of the best examples, I think, of suicidal empathy happening in real time is a town in Michigan called Hamtrak. And I believe it was the first town in the United States that authorized the Muslim call to prayer in the morning. The liberal people in that town wanted to protect Muslim rights. There was a whole bunch of people from Bangladesh and I think Armenia coming into the town. And these were the people who were very much pro lgbtq. So they welcomed tons of refugees into their small town who eventually became the majority. And then what happened is you got the first mayor from this country. City council became all Muslim. It's an example of you have to be careful of the unintended consequences of good intentions, because what happened in that town this year is that they banned the pride flag. So now you have an all Muslim city council and mayor, and now they've taken down all the pride flags, and the liberal women who were behind this whole movement are now like, what's going on? And now they're being completely rebuked. And it reminds me of communism, where the agitators and the revolutionaries are just useful idiots for the people who want to take power. Chad, that's quite literally what you were talking about. I mean, it's a chef kiss. It's so perfect that you. You gender queer, two spirit furry idiots, thought this was going to work out with the jihadists.
C
Yeah, it kind of reminds me, Dave, of those memes, you know, where it's like, I found this. This dog out on the street, and it's like some WOL in the backseat of your car that you let in there, you know, and you like, you know what's about to happen to this guy? Like, he's going to get ripped to shreds by this thing because he's petting the animal. That's sort of like that. And they just came in using the system. And in this case, it is toxic empathy, right? It is this, this compassion, this so called compassion for people not like me. Like I have got. I've been called a racist for so long, I need to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that I don't judge people on their skin color. So I'm going to embrace everything about them, not just their melanin, but I'm going to bring in their culture and I'm going to bring in the way they, you know, they do their rituals. We're going to have the call to prayer. And I, I've woke, I've awakened early in the morning in certain countries around the world to Islamic calls to prayer. It's a very eerie feeling because you realize I am not in control here. But see, we have lived for so long, Dave, under this false pretense, this false sense of security because we're so spoiled as a first world country here. America, you know, we don't understand the rest of the world. We don't understand how they do things in the rest of the world. I can remember having a Honduran translator and this is Honduras. People vacation in Honduras. I can remember being up in Seguita Peki. Up, up, you know, in the, in the villages of Honduras. And my translator was missing an arm. And I go, how, why, what happened to your arm? He goes, a guy walked into a bar because I owed him some money and he hit me with a machete. That was it. I mean, that he's like, that's the way we, that's the way it got
A
handed soon to America.
B
Yeah.
C
So, so here we are. You, you think people in other parts of the world handle things the way we do? I mean, that pastor who just, who, who threw hands on that dude from across the street who I'm in love with, this pastor out of Louisiana. You know what? You go in the comments of the video, this guy just literally beating the brakes off of that dude. And everybody's going, well, who threw the first punch? Who gives a, like, who gives a shit? We live in a first punch society because somebody's going to go to jail, be held accountable for this kind of deal. We gotta have law and order. The rest of the world doesn't operate by your sense of law and order. So you start importing the third world into your country and your country is going to become the third world. It's an old adage, but it's simply happening everywhere. You call that out. That's hate speech. But it is what it is. I'll tell you what hate speech is, is when they cut your throat. Yeah.
A
Suddenly when you can't talk because your throat has been slit open.
C
I hate that.
A
Little more hate speechy to me. In a world where everything seems to cost more and deliver less, Angel's doing something pretty special for America's 250th birthday. Right now, you can become a premium angel for just $15 a month, normally 20 bucks. And with that price locked in for an entire year, here's what you get. Two free tickets to see Young Washington in theaters on Independence Day, access to Angel's entire streaming library, and tickets to every future angel theatrical release. So if you're planning to see Young Washington anyway, you've already come out ahead, and I think Young Washington's exactly the kind of movie worth supporting. It's the story of George Washington before he became president. It's about a young man facing failure, uncertainty, and enormous challenges before becoming of the most important figures in American history. What's refreshing, of course, is that in this film, it's not interested in apologizing for America's existence. It's interested in understanding the people and ideas that helped build it and beyond Young Washington. You'll get access to Angel's entire streaming library, including films like Homestead Green and Gold, the Last Rodeo, Something to Stand for with Mike Rowe, and an upcoming theatrical slate that's incredibly impressive. If you're looking for a meaningful way to celebrate America's 250th, this is a great place to start. Go to Angel.comRubin and become a Premium Angel Guild member today. But. All right, let's talk a little bit about the policies. So, okay, sure, they've got this strange obsession with Islam and a double obsession with the hatred of Israel. Okay, fine. What else do they want to do? Here is snot on my shoe. That's what I'm calling him for. Now on Brad Lander.
C
Look, we need to make clear what the fights are we're going to stand up for. I gave one example last night. I think one of the best things that Democrats did in a unified way last year was to make the shutdown, the government shutdown, you know, a fight about the health care subsidies. I think next year, I think we should. We should tell people this fall is we're going to make that what we fight in the budget for next year. We're not going to vote For a budget that doesn't restore health care, subsidies on the exchanges to bring people back their health care, Medicare, Medicaid, subsidies for small businesses and working peoples on the exchange. We won't vote for a budget that doesn't do that. And then let's go fight and deliver it and hold out till the end this time.
A
Sarah, I know you're big into wellness and healthcare and looking good, feeling your best. Do you have any access to TRT that we could possibly send that guy? I cannot stand. I hate that that affect. It's so pathetic and snively and gross. It is. And then if you want to comment on what he said, yes, we should all have healthcare. Okay, fine.
B
I don't know. Let's just trash Brad Landers for the rest of the show. Yeah. No, what, what's so funny to me about the health care issue is don't forget the Democrats broke it, right? Obamacare was supposed to solve everything. It was called the Affordable Care Act. That was the name of the bill. And it was supposed to make things more affordable. And now that they have completely and utterly broken the system. And I say this as someone who, in my former career, I owned a health insurance brokerage firm. And I was there during the years in which they passed Obamacare and the years after that. And I left because it was awful, because I couldn't help my, my CL anymore because everything was going up and they were eliminating plans and I couldn't provide them with anything that was better. And I was like, this isn't fun. I wanted to help people. I'm going to find something else to do with my life. So I know firsthand the ramifications of Obamacare and the effects. And the idea that we would trust the Democrats, the people who broke it, to fix it is just beyond absurdity to me. It's just laughable that they want to keep talking about how they're going to be the ones to fix health care and subsidies and the exchanges. Like, bro, it was Yalls bill, right?
A
So, Chad, going on the premise that we all agree they can't fix anything, the idea that you would be elected and then the very same day you're on television talking about shutting down the government, that kind of just tells you everything you need to know, you know, no other job could you do that? Like, I got a new job and I'm here to ruin the place, right?
C
That's like, that's like a guy coming to borrow your lawnmower and breaking it. And then, and then he says, oh, I Think. I think I'm going to go run a lawnmower shop. Like, like I'm. I'm going to go in the lawnmower business because I've learned how to break it so well. I must be an expert. See, the part of the problem, I think, with the Democrats just. And I, like, I've really sat and thought about this, like, what is it in the Democrat, progressive, liberal, whatever mindset today that's made them just jump off the tracks and just chase after this socialist pandering? Like, why? How did they get so far in the wilderness? Because there's got to be some kind of mental connect there, that one leads to the other. And, and I guess some of the conclusions I've come to, one of them is we, the left has just so welcomed governmental intrusion into our life. It doesn't matter if they broke it in the past. We just think they're going to fix it because now we don't have to take the responsibility to fix it anymore. And so somewhere along the way, it's like the Democratic Party looked at the Americans, just looked at America and said, you know what this country needs? We need more parents. They might suck his parents, but we need more parents. And we're going to decide the federal government's going to apply for the job or whatever government it may be. So if it's student debt or health care or housing or the climate or hurt feelings or your stubbed toe, well, we got the government deals in trillions of dollars. There's surely there's a grant for that. Somebody will fix it. So when he comes on and he says, well, we got to do this and we got to take the fight to him, you've never fought anything other than your penis. Like, that's the only thing you've ever wrestled with in your life. And you probably had to hunt to find that show. The dude borrows the lawnmower, brings it back broken and says, you know what? I'm going to manage your lawnmower garage. It's just these guys, and nobody learns from it. It's weird to me.
A
So to your point, okay, so they, they want to fix health care, which they mucked up in the first place. And of course, the easiest thing is to just say it's free health care. It doesn't mean it's good health care or that it's actually free or anything else. But what else do they want to do? Well, they want to nationalize the airline industry. Here's another one of Mom Dummy's little clone soldiers. Her One Claire Valdez. My, my hot take is we need to abolish pre check.
B
I've got like a million beefs with the airline industry and the process of having to fly. We need to like nationalize the airline industry.
C
But let's start by abolishing.
B
Well, first of all, we got to abolish ice. I think that is like the most clear cut solution to a lot of what we're seeing right now where ICE is being used as a schedule for fascism. I'm older than ice. I should have never existed. It was, it was created in a period of deep Islamophobia.
A
Yes. Okay, so that was Valdez up top and Chevalier on the bottom of that thing. Abolish pre check. I mean, pre check's one of the only remot remotely pleasant things at the airport usually, right? I mean, if you can call it that. Nationalize airports, abolish ice. I mean, it's Sarah. It's just all of it. It is just all of it.
B
Yeah. Abolish all the things. By the way, did you see the, the interviewer's reaction when she said abolish pre checker? She's like, oh my God, where do you get these people? Of course, it's a terrible idea. Of course. I love the abolish ICE comment that it was, it was made at a time of deep Islamophobia. I'm not sure what is she referring to the time when there was the worst terrorist attack on domestic soil that resulted in the lives of what, 3,000Americans that were law. Is that what she's referring to as deep Islamophobia? Because I thought that Islamophobia, I thought the word phobia was an irrational fear. And I feel like it's pretty rational for Americans to want to know who is coming into our country to want to remove illegal criminals and potentially terrorists from our country. I, me personally, I feel like that's a very sane, rational thing to do. I don't understand where these people come from. I don't understand how they're brought up. I don't understand how they have led themselves to the conclusion that we just need to abolish all of the things that are keeping us safe.
A
And by the way, it's, you know, they just injected this idea that suddenly in New York City, everyone was again, Islamophobia. You're right, it's a ridiculous word that everyone suddenly hated Muslims after 9 11. I lived in New York City after 9 11. All everyone was doing was bending over backwards to make sure that people were not bigoted towards Muslims. It was actually quite ridiculous. Chad. Watch this. Here's Darizalia Chevalier talking to Jen Psaki and she's not happy with the establishment.
B
I am someone who has felt deeply abandoned by the establishment politics that far too often see my community as merely a statistic that far too often only shows up to explain away the circumstances that the politics that they have voted for time and time again which have impacted our community in ways that they do not feel the effects of.
A
Okay, so thank you, lady for that word salad on msnbc. She is currently. So this woman now got elected. She's currently in her seventh year of her PhD program. She's never done anything except slow motion college. This is the last person that should be having any power over anyone's life.
C
Oh, she'll go to Congress, fit right in. They don't, they don't get. I've got some friends who are private contractors who got hired by the government to go in recently and do a couple of projects and they got the job done too fast and the government was saying, oh, you got to slow down. You're supposed to space this out over like a month. They got it done in like four days, Dave. So again, she'll fit right in because again, you slow walk everything and call that progress. These people have never accomplished anything. They don't intend to accomplish anything. That's the funny part about it.
A
Well, they do intend. I think they intend to destroy America. Not to do any of the things they're saying they're gonna do. But that's a. Maybe that's just a branding issue. Let me throw you one more on these, on these guys, because Jesse Waters, I think, made a good point around some of the language. We've used some loose language here, but how we have to address these people because years ago they were Democrat socialists, then they were socialists. Now they're kind of saying they're communists. Eventually they will be Islamists. Take a look.
C
It's not socialism, guys.
A
This is communism.
C
You can't reason with these guys. You have to crush them. And we will, because we're not going to let our greatest city get destroyed. We're not going to let our civilization get destroyed.
A
These people are going to steal from us. These people want to hurt us.
C
This isn't like your regular Democrat. Tish James says these people are crazy. One of the ladies said she wants to destroy Western civilization.
A
Now, I don't know about you, I take that as a threat.
C
Another woman says she wants to empty prisons.
A
That sounds like a violent threat.
C
Abolish ice.
A
That means you can break into the
C
country, rape and stay. I don't like that. I'm not going to go for it, and no one's going to go for it. And the way we're going to react
A
is going to be a lot tougher than the way Trump is reacting.
C
The way we're going to react is going to be. Is gonna make Trump look like a kitten.
A
Okay, so I'm with everything he said there, I think, except the last two or three lines, because. Sarah, what does he mean? I like Jesse. So this isn't even a knock on Jesse, but what do you mean you're gonna be. What are you gonna do, Jesse? Like, what does he expect the people, if the average person of New York City isn't happy about all those things, even though they voted for Mom Dame like, what do you mean? What are you gonna do? What are you, Jesse Waters, gonna do? I don't think anyone's gonna do anything. I mean, I think we all talk about these things. I don't think anyone knows. Knows what to do.
B
Yeah, I agree with you. I would also say that maybe he could take a page from, I don't know if you agree with the woman here in the state of Texas who would just address those Muslim women wearing hijabs at the grocery store. But that's about the only thing that we can do. Because I'm saying as my state is being infiltrated and invaded by Muslims, I have been saying the only thing that we can do, not being the government, the only thing that a private citizen can do, and you still have to be very careful when you do it, it is make this state the most inhospitable state to Islam. I say to, to fellow Texans, make it the most inhospitable state to Islam in the country. So maybe that's confronting people at grocery stores. Maybe that's. I don't know what it is. But the point is we have to have our federal government step in at a certain point. Look at the uk look at the, the report that just came out that I won't go into details for obvious reasons. Yeah, I mean, look at these things and, and think to yourself, how would we be any different if we import this ideology? It's not a religion, it's an ideology. Freedom of religion does not apply here. And by the way, how do we go about doing, undoing some of the damage that's already been done and denaturalizing these people and deporting them? Because that is how you get to a mamdani that is how you get all of these people elected. And it's just, it's, it is really frightening being a private citizen in times like these. And I love the Trump administration, obviously, but I do feel like we're on a timeline here and time is quickly running out for the federal government to step in. Because to your point, Dave, what else are we to do? They've left us completely defenseless. And when I say they, I don't mean Trump. I mean all of the, all of the Democrats prior to him.
A
No, And Sarah, you've been incredible on this topic, and you're one of the few people that, like, literally, you're out there trying to expose it and everything else. But, but, Chad, to that point, I mean, okay, so Jesse can say we're going to be worse than Trump and Trump, you know. Yeah, we're doing. We've got some stuff happening with ice, but it doesn't seem like it's happening fast enough. And to Sarah's other point, there's also a denaturalization issue here. It's not just getting rid of illegals. Everyone that we've shown you on this show today is legal. That's the bigger issue.
C
Yeah. And I'll say a couple of side notes. I'm proud of Sarah, too, and everything she's done. I mean, I've taught her everything she knows, and it's incredible to watch her just shine. And so kudos to her. No, seriously, all chat. God. She's doing God's work. She really is. And, you know, I think one of the biggest problems there, Dave, is. And also, next time you talk to Jesse, tell him to ease up on the makeup. He's starting to look like Maddow a little bit. He's like, come on. I don't know why these guys get older.
A
Well, he's got Bill O'Reilly's makeup guy. It's the same makeup guy from way back when.
C
So they start looking like lesbians. It's weird. But here's the thing. You don't know your enemy. And that's the biggest issue that I think we all have, because you're right, these are American citizens who are making these statements. And they underestimate, you know, they think they're going to be okay. They think if we welcome these people in, they're not going to be okay. Back to our original point. You're going to be the first one on the chopping block when it's time for the blood to run down the curb and the guillotines get rolled out, you're in line too. And so they don't know their enemy. But the average rank and file American person, and I will, I'll give a shout out to what's her name, Sarah Dasha there that confronted the women in the hijab there in Texas. She knows more about Islam and what the real mission of Islam is than what the average rank and file American citizen out there knows. We don't know our enemy. We don't know. We can't think critically about what they are. Most people do use the freedom of religion argument. So I don't know what Jesse means on that. If you're not willing to deport, if you're not willing to denaturalize, if you're not willing to make some states really uncomfortable for Islam to do business within your borders, then it's just a matter of time because you will, by the natural process of things, with their worldview, it will, they will take over. They're having more babies in us. Their ideology is pervasive. You're not converted into it, you're born into it. And by and large you're not getting converted out of it. So they're not here to assimilate. The melting pot idea of America is dead and gone.
A
That map that I, Sarah, I think maybe I saw it from you first, but that map of the amount of mosques that are coming up around Dallas right now, it is, it is. It looks like an invasion. Maybe we can find it. We can.
C
Sharon, correct me on this. It was like, it's like 348 new mosques in the Dallas, Dallas Fort Worth area popped up in the last year. It's something, it might be more than that. 400 and something.
B
It's really terrifying. And well, and that's why I keep saying, like it, we, we depend on the, on the government, whether it's federal, whether it's state, whether it's local, we depend on the government. Like the city council could be denying these. They could, they, they could find something to hang their hat on, but they're too scared of being called an Islamophobe.
A

Call 866-685-6604. That's 866-685-6604 or visit tnusa.com Dave so let me show you two videos here, back to back. We'll take a little break in between, but one because it's two Cuban Americans. And I'm here in Miami and I love the Cubans. But of course, as a general rule, however, some Cubans, not great. First here is Anna Navarro, although she actually is making a little sense here. And then we're going to show you something from Rubio. Take a look. Would say to Chuck Schumer, dude, you're in danger because this I think, puts
C
a lot of wind in the sails of Alexandria.
A
Ocasio cortez, Economic okay, so it's just a short video, but I wanted to show you that quickly because Anadovaro, I'll agree with her there. Chuck is screwed and he deserves to be screwed. And he sucks. He's not a full commie jihadist, but he has no defenses to stop this thing. However, now let me show you another Cuban, a great Cuban, Marco Rubio. And this is Marco Rubio back in 2020, calling out exactly what would happen here with one very minor caveat. But take a look.
C
The bottom line is that unless the
A
democratic establishment steals it from them, Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist, is going to be the Democratic nominee for president. And that's a really big deal because
C
democratic socialism sounds benign, but.
A
But at the core of democratic socialism is Marxism. And at the core of Marxism is this fake offer that if you turn
B
over more of your individual freedom, we're
A
going to provide you security, we're going to provide you free health care, we're going to provide you free education. But the problem is that when they
C
can't deliver on it or when you're
A
not happy with it, you don't get your freedoms back. And by freedoms, I don't just mean elections.
C
I'm talking about the right to choose
A
your own doctor, the right to make health care decisions for yourself, what your kids learn in school, what schools they
C
go to, all that stuff you lose control over.
A
And you don't get it back just because the security they promised you didn't happen.
C
So that's what we're on the verge
A
of having to decide here in this country. It's a reason why people flee countries that have this stuff. It's a big deal for America and I hope people start waking up to that reality. So, Chad, that's Marco six years ago, the reason I said minor caveat is I don't know that in 2020 they did something necessarily to steal it. It's pretty obvious the DNC did something to stop him when Hillary was running. But that's sidebar on all this. Everything else he said there is. Right. You guys are just going to keep giving away your freedoms in the name of getting stuff and next thing you know, it's over.
C
Well, you know, and those who would call themselves conservatives in this country would say, well, the government needs to stay in its lane. The government needs to do its thing. See, Democrats, the progressive left doesn't see it that way. The Democrats say there is no lane. Like there's no lane to stay in. We're going to run all over society, we're going to take culture over and we're going to do it our way. And if you don't buy into our way of thinking, then we're going to shame you, we're going to cancel you, we're going to come after you, we're going to dox you. And I think the average American is scared to death of that happening. You've been a part of that. Sarah's been a part of it. I've tasted a little bit of that. It is an unnerving feeling when the, you feel like the whole world, including the conservative side's coming down on you because of something you did that was well intentioned or whatever. Because you're, you're, you're in this fight and people, all of a sudden you become the persecuted person. And so what that does is it, it kind of closes the mouth of people who need to be speaking up in these situations. So, you know, I don't know. I, I think that, I think that we got to take the gloves off at some point in time and get really ruthless in how we're going to go about it. I just don't know that we got the, I just don't know that we got the cajones to do it right.
A
Well, it's interesting because we're all coming to this sort of same conclusion, which is that we're at this like civilizational crossroads. We all see it. It's. Sarah, you sort of mentioned this a moment ago. I say it on the show all the time. If Europe could go back 20 years, you think the people of the UK or France or Germany or Belgium or Brussels or all these other countries. You think they wouldn't have done it differently? Ireland? Of course they would. Of course they would. And yet we seem to be going down that same path.

Let me jump to something else for just a second here, because there's been some weirdness on the right, too. And, well, I would say the main leader of the weird right at the moment, but I don't even think he's on the right anymore, because every time he brings someone on the right, he attacks them. He brings on lefties, and he glazes them is Tucker Carlson. And here he is this week saying he will no longer support the Republican Party.
C
I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance I would support the Republican Party. Not going to support the Democratic Party. I don't know what I'm going to do. But at this point, you know, how could you support, how could I, or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States, that puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens? Like, that's, that's, you know, it's not possible to vote for people like that. And I'm not going to. And I think I voted Republican my entire life. I worked at Fox News, CNN, MSNBC. I've been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party. I mean, very consistent defender. But there's no defending this because it's immoral. And it's exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its own nation. And they're not doing that. So. So, no, I'm out. And if I'm out, then I think a lot of other people are out.
A
All right, Sarah, listen, I think he's a liar, a fraud, a propagandist. I think he likely has already Converted to Islam. I think there is like a whole. He is just awful and evil at this point. I don't play the clips that often, but what I thought was interesting about this clip is not that he won't support a Republican. I think he is a national socialist, actually. He's basically Bernie with borders. But what's interesting is if he was even pretending to be on the right anymore. Let's say you were just radically against the Iran war. Okay, fine. You would still look at the Republican Party and be like, well, they did close the borders. That's pretty good. And they are trying to lower taxes that pretty good. And they still respect states rights and blah. Like you could still go through a laundry list of things that are way better than everything else we discussed here or we discussed with disgust here. So doesn't that kind of show the game that he's up to? Yeah, like what does he want? Does he want to split the Republicans so the Democrats win? I think that actually is it.
B
I, I come to the same conclusion because when I look at the Tucker who was at Fox News and by the way, I was, I was on his show one time. It was a bucket list thing, right? I was like, oh my gosh, Tucker Carlson is having me on to talk about the Drag queen storytime hour for kids that I had done all this work on. And it was a big moment for me. And I look and I'm like, I don't even. I, I can't even recognize that man anymore. My only conclusion is that he must be getting paid off. I mean, I remember when he went to Amfest and started basically simping for Islam. And I was like, what is happening? What is going on? How much money is he getting paid? It's just the only thing that I can, I. It's the only conclusion I can come to because that doesn't make any sense. We just lived through four years of the Biden regime. We just saw what they will do to children, how they are pushing to chop off healthy body parts of children, what they are doing with open borders. Like, we've seen the other side of things. Anyone who would call themselves a conservative, who would try to persuade other people not to participate in an election or vote for Republicans right now, I can't think of a more ghoulish thing when we've seen what the other side is capable of, right?
A
So, Chad, let's try to like give him the most. What would be the most benefit of the doubt we could give him? Let's say he just thinks this Iran thing, which is wrapping up right now one way or another. Let's say he just thinks it's the worst thing in the world, how still does that supersede what you purport to be every one of your other beliefs? Because the Democrats are not for any of those things. Again, I don't even believe he believes the things that he says. So I kind of put that there.
C
So I think the only explanation in my mind is for somebody to be that radically transitioned, if you will, because I agree with you. He's probably already converted to Islam. Now, why he did that, I don't know. I don't know that it was a personal conviction or he thinks they're going to win. I think he thinks they're going to win and he thinks he's going to. But by the way, when the guillotines roll out, which they don't use the guillotines, but when the, when the, you know, when the, when they start chopping off heads, it's a whole other story. He's going to be in there, too. But he, I almost wonder, does he know something's coming, like an attack or something major that's going to make 911 look like elementary school, that there is a plot in place and somehow he is buying his land life it and he's doing it with his platform, he's doing it with the things that he's saying and he's giving the lip service that's necessary to spare himself. That's the only explanation I can give you because I, I don't think guess
A
who he's going to blame if something happens.
C
I wonder 100%, I wonder.
A
Here's, here's our friend Ben Shapiro with some analysis on what, what Tucker might
C
be up to to understand tactically what he's doing tactically, what Tucker Carlson is attempting to do do is basically leverage the Republican Party into following him. Instead of trying to convince within the tent, instead of trying to make his case, what he's essentially threatening to do is overturn the apple cart and then walk out the door and hope that, say, Vice President J.D. vance, with whom he is personally close, will come back in with Tucker arm in arm and then cram down Tucker's views on the rest of the party. This is how a splinter faction works. That's the actual strategic thing he is doing. It's the same thing Nick Fuentes is doing is doing. It's the same thing Candace Owens is doing. It's the same thing that Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie are doing right now. So it's not a gigantic shock, and it's not really tactically stupid what Tucker is doing. It does, however, demonstrate that if the party has any principles at all, there may be certain principles that alienate certain people. And that's. Okay. That's good. See, a party is supposed to be a receptacle for votes. It is not supposed to change its fundamental principles in pursuit of those votes. Votes. And if people wish to leave because they don't like the fundamental principles of that party, well, then it's a free country, and they can't.
A
Yeah, I mean, Sarah, he's been. Still got it. He's been doing it for a while, but he's still got it. Like. That's right.
B
I. I would also add, I don't think that it. It's just weird to me that people think that you have to agree with 110% of all of the things that the party does. It's just. It's a simple calculation, right? It's. You've got pros and you've got cons, and you pick the one that most aligns with your ideology. It doesn't have to be 100%. So if there's one thing that you disagree with. But they've closed the borders and they've stopped the transing of children and they've righted the, you know, taken steps to write the economy. It's not going to take. It's going to take a little longer because of all the damage that was done to it by Biden. But, I mean, they're taking all of these steps. It just seems weird to take your ball and go home because there's one thing that you disagree with. I just is. I. It seems very childish. It seems very immature. I mean, I agree with Ben. You can just. You can walk away. You don't have to participate. But I would also just say, what does that say about you that you can't just do a simple calculation like an adult rather than taking your ball and going home?
A
Chad, I think this reference is going to work on you. But every episode of 80s GI Joe cartoons ended the exact same way. Cobra would lose at the last second. And then Cobra Commander would say, if I can't have it, nobody can. And then he would destroy the thing that he was using to take over the world. And that's. To me, me. That's exactly what Tucker's. Tucker's basically Cobra Commander, but more of a snake.
C
He's standing on the back of the Titanic, tossing the diamond out in the middle of the ocean. And like, I've gotten to a point, honestly, where I'm so exhausted, I'm so fatigued with all of it. And Sarah makes a fantastic point. And I agree here because you have so many people who would claim to be on the true conservative side who, if I make a post about. About anything, Jesus loves you, I can make a post about anything. I feel almost this pressure to put an asterisk there that gives my statement about Israel, gives my statement about the Jews, gives my statement about the Epstein list, gives my statement about the reflection pool. Everything. Like, I got to put everything in there. I can't just say, hey, My kid turned 21 today. Yay. I got to put an asterisk there that says refer to the footnotes. This is my current opinion on every one them of, well, what about the Epstein list? When's the update on that thing? I'm a comedian, for crying out loud. You're looking in the wrong place. I don't know why people ask me for an honest opinion about anything. I don't know what I believe. I'm like a goose, man. I wake up in a new world every day.
A
I said to the guys, could we get someone on the show who would give me an honest opinion? And they were like, whatever you do, don't call Chad Prather. And yet, here we are. You've probably heard about the Enhanced Games, the group pushing the limits of human performance. This is their consumer supplement line, built around the same philosophy, helping you get more out of your body and your day. Their flagship product is called Stronger.

That's shop.enhance.com rumle for 50% off your first order. Enhanced. All right, well, let's end with this because I can't end, people know, but particularly on my 50th birthday, I know I don't look a day over 32. I cannot end the show with, you know that we've got the commies coming and the rights fractured and everyone's depressed. I can't end a Friday show on that. So how about this? There are some people that still love this country, although most of them happen to be Republicans.
C
Take a look again. 56% overall have an extremely, very much proud of the country. It's 29% among Democrats. It's 90% among Republicans. Look at that staggering gap between the parties. Look at it on the other end here.
A
Only a little or not proud at all.
C
It's 36% among Democrats. That number among Democrats. It's higher on the low end there
A
than it is on the extremely proud end.
C
And it's only 3% for Republicans. So a massive partisan divide on that question of being proud to be an American.
A
All right, so, Sarah, here's my silver lining on this thing. You know, I know everybody's like, Republicans are going to get crushed in the midterms. I have a feeling between July 4th, celebrating the 250th, we wrap up the Iran thing. Maybe Trump gets a couple other wins on some different things. Maybe we make a move on Cuba, which then could also spark some, some capitalist ideas again and why communism work, if you can? Okay, 90% of Republicans, that's pretty good. Proud of America. That 29% of Democrats that are still proud of America, they can't be part of this communist thing. That's where the Republicans have to focus right now, to just bring those guys over. And I don't think that will be a very heavy lift. Yeah, there's gonna be issues around. Abortion will probably still be the main one, even though the ship has sailed in some sense with the reversal, Roe v. Wade or whatever. But like, I think if Republicans can, if Trump can do a couple good things and then focus, boy, these guys just hate America. That 30% chunk, you take 5, 10% off that, then maybe things aren't a bloodbath in November. Am I nuts?
B
No, I agree with you. I mean, I think that case in point, all of the. I saw so many, I worked the polls the last election, and I saw so many young men coming out and voting Republican. There was their very first time to vote or their second time to vote, and they were coming out and they were voting Republican and for President Trump in mass. So I think there is something in us innately that we want to, we don't want to hate our country. And so that, that 30%. I think it's just going to be key that Republicans use the correct messaging because previously they've just not understood how to message. I Think if they can deliver that message home. If you love your country, you are in the wrong. Party. Party. Come join us. And I think that if they can deliver that correctly, I think that there's a chance that we can get some of those Democrats, because certainly their candidates are not getting any more moderate. They're just getting more and more insane.
A
Chad, you got the cowboy hat. You got the flag behind you. I have no doubt. Well, there's probably. You're a tequila guy, too, right? I was going to say there's probably whiskey in that room, but you are a tequila guy like me, right?
C
Oh, yeah. You and I, we've had that conversation. Yeah.
A
Yeah, I know. Yeah. I got to send you a bottle. Let's send him a bottle.
C
Give me on the list.
A
Yeah, sell. Sell America to bring us home today. All right, all right, fine. You get some tequila, too. Everybody gets tequila.
C
Never gives tequila to Sarah. Listen, I'm just. Here's. Here's my strategy as we head into midterms, and then in the next couple of years, I'm just going to keep retweeting my friend Brandon, Brandon Gill. Like, that's just all I'm doing.
A
It's been good.
C
Like, I'm just going to keep. Because again, if we don't come back to whatever that type of message messaging that says, I'm unapologetically going to be what I am. I'm an American. I'm an American first. You can call me a nationalist. You can call me a racist, xenophobe, homophobe. You can call me whatever, Nazi, whatever you can come up with. You're going to call me all these names, but you're still not escaping the critical thinking and the debate and the discussion that we need to have in this country. So you know what? We're just going to let that stuff slide off of us, and we're going to keep having this discussion. I want America to look like America's supposed to look. I just wrote a song, Dave, is called When My Country Stops Looking Like a Country Song. We got to make it right. And again, again, that's my worldview. I want. I want my world to look like the world I grew up in, where people love this country. And I don't want CNN giving me a graph telling me how many people don't love it. And I truly believe that most of the people out there do love this country, even if they don't know or understand why. Exactly. They do, because they don't know their history and they've been brainwashed but I think people love this country and all they need is a little taste of the alternative to realize how much they do.
A
Well, God bless you guys. God bless the United States of America. And if you want a taste of something, Chad, you gave me a hell of a segue right there for my 50th. Everyone knows it's 50% off Copal right now. You can go to drinkcopal.com I will send you both bottles. Guys, it was a pleasure spending my birthday with you. I thank you. Have a great weekend.
C
Happy birthday.
B
You too. Happy birthday day.
The Rubin Report – Episode Summary
Episode Title: Host Surprised as Zohran Mamdani Rips Off the Mask & Stops Hiding It
Date: June 26, 2026
Host: Dave Rubin
Guests: Sarah Gonzalez (Sarah Gonzalez Unfiltered), Chad Prather (Before the Noise)
This episode (coinciding with Dave Rubin’s 50th birthday) explores the dramatic shifts in American politics, focusing on the growing influence of progressive, socialist, and Islamist elements within the Democratic Party, especially in New York City. The discussion centers on recent local elections, the rhetoric and actions of new leftist leaders such as Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander, and news events that, in Rubin’s and his guests’ view, illustrate the dangers of anti-Semitism, pandering to radical ideologies, and the erosion of Western and American values.
True to Rubin Report tradition, the tone is combative, sarcastic, sometimes abrasive, and unapologetically right-wing. Dave leans into his disgust and mockery of the progressive left, frequently using derogatory nicknames. Guests engage energetically, with a blend of humor, indignation, and exasperation at recent political developments.
This episode issues a stark warning about the dangers posed by the current trajectory of left-wing politics in America, especially the intermeshing of far-left, Marxist, and pro-Islamist sentiments. Dave Rubin, Sarah Gonzalez, and Chad Prather decry leftist pandering, anti-Semitism, the abandonment of American values, and the potential consequences of unchecked immigration and cultural change.
They express frustration at conservative division, especially around figures like Tucker Carlson, and urge Republicans to unify, focus on positive, unapologetic messaging, and reclaim patriotism before it’s too late. In closing, they offer a glimmer of optimism, suggesting that most Americans do love their country and can be persuaded to resist the radicalism sweeping through society.
