Oh, she's g. How you doing, guys? I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin report. It is January 15, 2026. You've already subscribed. You've tapped the notification bell. So that's just a little note for you to tell a friend just casually at lunch. Have you subscribed to the Rubin Report? We have a tremendous program for you. Obviously, a lot going on with this Minneapolis craziness and the pushback against ICE and the anti American lunatics in the Democrat Party like Ilhan Omar and Jacob Frey and the rest of it. So we're gonna do a bunch of that. We're gonna get caught up on some of the Iran stuff, which at the moment seems like maybe America is not gonna get involved in a bigger way. Although I would say Donald Trump has become an absolute master at the shell game and trickery. And, oh, we're having a meeting to calm everything down while we're actually doing something else. So we'll see about that. Second half of the show is a rubinreport.locals.com community doing something very exciting today. We're trying something different. We have positioned a camera in a different way today. And Connor pressed the button. And right there you are seeing my associate producer, Joseph. I've often talked about him. Occasionally he jumps on camera, says something in Chinese. I don't know what he's saying. Could be making fun of me. I never really thought about that. You could be belittling me right live on air, whenever I bring you on.

I just hope there's no translator that actually knows Chinese.
A (2:02)
No, you may not even be speaking Chinese. Anyway, Joseph is over there and he is prepared to jump in at any point if I say something that's incorrect, if he feels that I need to say something that I haven't got to. And he will be reading the community Q and A's. We're just testing out a little something because what we always wake up and say here is, what can we do to make a better program? Most of the other online shows, they're just making you stupid, angry, impotent, negligent, degenerate, like, et cetera. We're doing something a little different around here. All right, let's get back to it. Because some of the craziness in Minneapolis has escalated and it started with an event that took place last evening. Listen to this from Fox News. The incident began at about 6:50pm local time when federal law enforcement attempted to make a traffic stop, according to dhs, who added that the suspect was released into the country under Biden in 2022. The suspect attempted to evade arrest by driving but crashed into a parked car, DHS said. He then fled on foot, according to dhs. When an officer caught up to the suspect and attempted to take him into custody, the suspect resisted and violently assaulted the officer, DHS said. Two additional individuals came out of a nearby apartment while the officer and suspect were engaged in a struggle on the ground and attacked the officer with a snow shovel and a broom handle. The original suspect broke free during the altercation and also began striking the officer with a shovel or broom handle, according to dhs. The officer fired defense defensive shots to defend his life, DHS said, and the suspect was hit in the leg. All three suspects then barricaded themselves in an apartment before being taken into custody, DHS said. So of course now we have another escalation of everything, right? We already have the incident a couple days ago with the woman in Minneapolis who was parking her car in the middle of the street to stop traffic, who was apparently basically a paid professional protester who put her car into forward and then was shot by the ICE officer, who also has injuries, by the way. But now we have just more sort of fuel on the fire with this incident. Look, guys, putting aside who you think the good guys and bad guys are and all of that stuff, and I know if you're watching the show, we're largely on the same side of this stuff and we see things in a similar way. But putting aside all of that, putting aside Minneapolis, putting aside illegals and everything else, if an officer approaches you, whether it's a federal officer or it's a state trooper, your local police or whatever it is, and you start, well, first off, if you evade them, right? So if you start running away, they're going to try to get you and you could get shot. If you and then some of your friends then hit them with brooms and ice picks and you throw things at them and everything else, there's a good chance you're all going to be shot. But what the Democrats have now created is a situation that police and law enforcement at every level, federal, local, et cetera, is not respected at all. They've been running around saying that the woman who got shot, who almost killed the ICE officer via the car which is a weapon of death, if you choose to use it as such. They're saying that that was a cold blooded murder. That was their words. Those are the words from Ilhan and aoc, et cetera, et cetera, that it was murder. So putting aside that she was shot and killed and nobody wanted that. Right. You think the ICE officer woke up that morning and was like, yes, I'm gonna just kill somebody for no reason today? It's completely absurd. They are trying to do their job in. In unimaginably difficult circumstances. But putting all the specifics of that aside, as a general rule, the Democrats have now created a situation where they've ramped up the anger, the fear. They've lied about so much. They've made it so clear that you just don't have to listen to police officers. Look at the protests that happen, the pro Hamas stuff that happens in New York City and all these cities every week. They take over streets and police just stand there and don't know what to do. And they get in their face and they spit at them and they throw it things at them and all of those things. And the police are not even empowered properly. So at every level, particularly in blue states, it doesn't happen here in Florida, obviously, and it doesn't really happen in Texas and some of the other states, but particularly in blue cities and states, there's no respect for law enforcement. And then once you have that no respect and you add some of the toxicity of the, of the rhetoric around this stuff, you're going to get incidents like this, this guy that thinks he can just run away and then other people that think they can jump and attack anyway. Shortly after that happened, of course, they. And use this to get out there and create more chaos. Here are ICE protesters clashing with ICE and stealing a rifle. Now think to the backdrop as we show you this. What would you do if you were an ICE officer? You've been tasked with getting illegals out of Minneapolis. That's what they're doing there right now. And you're being attacked by people. And they are quite literally stealing rifles out of ICE vehicles. Take a look.
