Episode Overview

This episode of The Rubin Report, hosted by Dave Rubin, dives into the political shake-up in America’s major blue cities. The focus is on border policy changes under a (potential or returning) Trump administration, specifically the decision to "flood the zone" in four sanctuary cities (Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York) with federal immigration enforcement. Dave is joined by Aaron Wexler and Charlie Arnold for this roundtable, where they blend current news analysis, policy critique, and plenty of pointed humor while breaking down recent events across the US and abroad.

  • Dave: “This has been years of this nonsense already, largely because of Democrats and Joe Biden or the auto pen letting in 21 some odd million people… It’s not going well in the cities.” (04:10)

2. Trump’s New Border “Flood the Zone” Strategy

• Reactions:
  • Charlie Arnold: Embraces the "flood the zone" plan, believing brute force is needed for safety. “Absolutely, if we need really brute force to get the job done and make these cities safer... I think it’s a great idea and I think it needs to happen sooner than later.” (06:00)
  • Aaron Wexler: Cites Florida as a model, laments New York’s decline, blames “limousine liberals” opposing enforcement. “We need these cities for America to be great.

• CBS News clip: Details about potential ICE and even military deployment in Chicago.

• Speculation over Mayor Eric Adams’ political future (potential White House position).
• Charlie predicts Andrew Cuomo is being positioned for “comfort and name recognition,” despite controversy over COVID policies.

• Reflection on the double standard in media coverage of Trump’s and Biden’s health rumors.

9. Hypocrisy, Hair, and Health: Joy Reid and Biden

• Humorous back-and-forth about Joy Reid’s appearance, “cultural appropriation of blonde hair,” and criticism of media speculation on Trump’s health vs. real and evident concerns about Biden’s decline.
• Aaron (on Biden): “Dr. Joe Biden. By the way, the diet Dr. Pepper sitting on my desk over here is more of a doctor than she is.” (44:51)

Tone and Style Highlights

The conversation is candid, unscripted, and often playful, punctuated by dark humor and sarcasm. While critiques are sharp (and occasionally personal), the energy is lively, conversational, and at times, satirical. There’s a mix of policy deep-dives, cultural commentary, and irreverent banter—hallmarks of Dave Rubin's show.

Final Thoughts

The episode offered a comprehensive look at the intersection of border policy, urban decline, political leadership, media bias, and free speech—with recurring themes of frustration at political inaction, disbelief at media narratives, and a consistent defense of open discourse and “common sense.” The panel’s conversation functions both as catharsis for like-minded listeners and as a pointed critique of current progressive urban politics.

That's what the Iranian government. Nobody should wear their glasses. They're us. He's a Democrat. All right, guys, my first week back on the grid is almost coming to a close, which means it's Friday and time for another roundtable extravaganza. I'm still Dave Rubin, this is still the Rubin Report. And joining me are the hosts of the Members Club podcasts, Aaron Wexler and Charlie Arnold. Ladies, how are you?

[B]

We're great.

[C]

Wouldn't it be interesting if you came back and you weren't still the same person?

[A]

In some ways, I'm a different person, but my name is still the same. And to go through the branding exercise of changing all this would be an awful lot. I do have to say I think this is gonna be one of the best shows we've ever done. I really do.

[C]

I feel that I see what you did there.

[A]

This show is going to be very large and wonderful. Before we get to that, I just wanna remind people real quick, the Don't Burn this World tour is continuing in another content. That's right. I'm going to Australia with the kangaroos and the koalas and the giant lizards. And insects and things. I'll be at the Capitol Theater in Melbourne, Australia on October 18 with former Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson. He'll also be joining me at Concourse Concert hall in Sydney on October 21st. And then I'll be at the Brisbane Convention and exhibition center on October 27th with British journalist Andrew Ne. But enough about me, ladies. Let's dive into the week that was, you know, I stepped away from all of this. I come back, things are basically crazy. But you guys launched a podcast. You seem to be handling the crazy well. Let's see if we can decipher some of it.

[C]

Let's just say, do we have a choice? Do we have a choice?

[A]

Well, we don't.

[C]

Well, I suppose we deal with what we're dealt. That's the name of the game here. So we're just rolling with the punches.

[A]

Exactly. And Charlie, if I'm not mistaken, you live in New York, Is that right?

[C]

New York.

[A]

You are in New York.

[C]

Crazy is the name of the game. Right.

[B]

So we'll send her letters, Dave, when she's no longer allowed to leave, when Zoran momdonnies hair, you know.

[A]

Right, exactly.

[B]

We'll send her care packages, we'll sneak notes in into the food.

[A]

Well, Eren, I know you just moved into a new place. Do you have an extra room in case when goes down and Charlie has to get out?

[B]

People might not know this because Charlie's personality is so big, but she's actually like a very petite woman. So it'd be very easy to fit her anywhere in the apartment.

[C]

Just stow me somewhere, whatever.

[B]

Anywhere.

[C]

Shove me somewhere.

[B]

Who cares?

[A]

All right, well, let's talk. We're not gonna start with New York specifically, but obviously what's generally going on in our cities. This has been years of this nonsense already, largely because of Democrats and Joe Biden or the auto pen letting in 21 some odd million people and not having policing and allowing drugs and homelessness and crime and all of those things. It's not going well in the cities. There's been a lot of focus on Chicago lately and what we are doing or what Trump is doing pertains to sending ICE and feds in and all that. Here is border czar Tom Homan saying, yeah, we're gonna flood the zone. We're going into Chicago, Louisiana, New York and more. Let me just begin with Chicago, which.

[C]

Is very much in the news.

[A]

President is getting ready, I guess, to send the National Guard into Chicago and you can tell us you're gonna be a part of this. Your agents Your ICE agents. Chicago believes it's a sanctuary city, but I don't think that's going to stop you with respect to Crim. Can you tell us what's going to happen here, sir? Look, it hasn't stopped us from day one. We took a lot of public safety threats and national security threats off the streets in one day, which made Chicago safer. Got a lot more work to do. President Trump is committed. We're going to focus on sanctuary cities. That's what we're going to prioritize, because we know we have a problem there. So there is going to be, as I said several weeks ago, we're going to. We're going to flood the zone in sanctuary city, like Chicago, like Los Angeles, like San Francisco and New York. Well, don't flood the zone. And Chicago is one of them. We're going to go there and make Chicago safe again. President Trump committed that to the American people. And the men and women of ICE and the border patrols will keep his promise. Charlie, Aaron and I live here in Florida. You live in New York, where your zone is about to be flooded. How do you feel about that?

[C]

Feel really good about it. The term flood the zone, I mean, just like the boldness, the emphasis he puts on what's going to happen, I'm all about it. I mean, the fact that we're a sanctuary city, I never agreed with from the very beginning. I mean, when you look at even our mayor right now, Eric Adams, who may or may not be running come November, given the recent developments, we'll see he has aligned himself greatly with Trump. He certainly seems to be on board with the immigration policies. The problem is there's now these city policies that won't allow him to do his job properly. So, yes, the zone needs to be flooded, because even, for example, here in New York City, the mayor's hands are tied. So he can't even take care of the safety of the people who live here, the dignity of the people who live here. So, absolutely, if we need really brute force to get the job done and make these cities safer and get things running smoothly again, and not just protecting, you know, people like me and you, but also law enforcement, we've seen what's happened recently. I mean, just this. In this summer, an NYPD officer was attacked by an illegal. So, yeah, I'm all about it. I think it's a great idea and I think it needs to happen sooner than later.

[A]

Aaron, I know we can always talk about how wonderful Florida is, but doesn't it to some degree seem just Completely.

[C]

Aaron's from New York. Aaron's from New York. Let's all remind everybody I'm from New York, too.

[B]

Pretty, right?

[A]

We escaped. I think you're giving her credit there. But. But in some sense, when you move to a place where things work, you just go about your life and things work, and it's great and wonderful and you don't have to think about it, and then you see these things and you're like, how in the high hell does any sane person subject themselves to it? So to me, if you're a sane New Yorker, you want that zone flooded right now.

[B]

Yes. I think the only people who are against this are the limousine liberals. Right? The. The. What do they call them? Champagne socialists. Right. Everyone wants this. And I do want to give Charlie credit, and I want to give Republicans in red states credit. Charlie, don't get used to this. You know, this is not like our love language is usually trash talk, so. But I do want to say that we need these cities for America to be great. New York City is the economic powerhouse of. Of America and the world. I don't want to see a crumble. I want to see New York be great again. What's amazing about all of this, though, is to the points before on the stats you were giving what Tom Holman was saying, it's amazing what you can do when you actually care and just do something about a problem. But no, it is. It's really nice just retreating to Florida where life is Candyland. But we need to make sure New York is just a safe place for people to go and do business. So thank you.

[A]

Right. For the record. For the record, as two former New Yorkers and a current New Yorker, we would all love for New York to be great again. I don't. It's extremely sad. When I go back. I usually only go back to do Gutfeld at this point, and I go to Midtown, and it's just like, this is not the place that I grew up in anymore. Charlie, do you have something?

[C]

Yeah. No. I mean, I also just think you're noticing even, like, the people who used to just shy away from touching hot button issues like these, like Morning Joe, for example, on msnbc. You would never in the past have heard them question Democratic policies. Now all of a sudden, you've got Joe Scarborough, like, coming right at him, you know, like J.B. pritzker, Brandon Johnson.

[A]

Johnson.

[C]

What was his name? The mayor? Johnson. Brandon Johnson. You know, he's like, what are they doing if they're not gonna take care of the people in Chicago, then what option do, you know, do we have here? You never would have heard him talk like that in the past, but suddenly everyone's getting sick of it. They're like, wait a second, like, there is a real problem. We know there's a real problem. We know you know there's a real problem, and we're just not going to do anything about it.

[A]

Let's map out this week's amazing destinations and travel tips.

[B]

Honestly, Will, I didn't plan any trips, but I did switch to T Mobile with their new Family Freedom offer.

[A]

That's not the itinerary we're following.

[B]

Well, I'm departing from AT&T and embarking on a new journey with T Mobile. They paid off my family's four phones up to $3200 and gave us four new phones on the house.

[A]

Bon voyage. Introducing Family Freedom. Our lowest cost will switch our biggest family savings all on America's largest 5G network. Visit your local T Mobile location or learn more@t mobile.com familyfreedom. Up to $800 per line via virtual prepaid card typically takes 15 days. Free phones via 24 monthly bill credits with finance agreement, eg Apple iPhone 16128 gigabyte $829.99 eligible trade in eg IPH for well qualified credits end and balance due if you pay off early or cancel contact T Mobile. So, Chicago, let's focus on Chicago for a sec because there's something super interesting happening in Chicago where it's not just obviously the illegal immigration problem because they were a sanctuary city, but also the endless amount of murders. 7,000 murders in 10 years. We check the numbers, that's 700 murders a year. We'll see where 2025 shakes out. But here's a report from CBS Chicago talking about how Trump's going to try to tackle both those things, the illegal part and then the sort of general criminality and gang violence part at the same time.

[B]

Breaking news now. There is word from Washington that the Trump administration is planning to conduct a major immigration enforcement operation right here in Chicago. Sources confirmed to CBS News that that could include armored trucks, federal troops and ICE agents flooding the city.

[C]

This morning, city leaders briefed a group.

[B]

Of reporters, including CBS News Chicago investigator Megan Demar. She is with me now to talk.

[A]

About this plan and what you learned.

[B]

Right. So multiple sources tell us that that expected deployment is expected by next Friday, September 5th. Now, Mayor Johnson said they've heard the same reports about ICE agents, about possible deployment of national Guards, but they haven't had any direct communication from the federal government.

[A]

Erin. I don't really care what people's skin color is. It turns out that most of the people that are killed in Chicago are black people killed by other black people. Us in gang and or drug related violence. The left purports to be for black people, but seemingly is very upset when someone goes in to try to stop the black people from being killed. I spoke very slowly there to illustrate a point because I'm trying to convince these people that maybe this is actually a good thing. I don't think it's going to work, though.

[B]

No, I mean, the thing that we don't talk about enough when we talk about Chicago specifically is that our first gay president, Barack Obama, has done absolutely nothing to help the people of Chicago. The man who, you know, the community organizer. The only job he had basically before becoming president of the United States, if he cared about black Americans, this would be his number one issue. And instead, where was he last week? Probably on Martha's Vineyard, right where there's another drowned chef in the water somewhere. So, yeah, no, of course that we all know that black Americans want to be safe the way that everyone else wants to be safe in their neighborhood. And so it's absolutely. Oh, my video keeps freezing. I'm not sure why. Guys, sorry. Hopefully you can still see me. But yes, this is an issue that, that it's like the white savior has decided for black people that they don't really want the police. When black Americans are saying they want safer neighborhoods, this is something that they actually want. And white people are saying, no, no, you're good, keep shooting.

[A]

Charlie, Charlie, if we were really trying to get in the head of one of these people that don't want these things fixed, let's say you're in the head of Brandon Johnson. Like, what do you think the argument is for, you know, 20, you know, it's usually about 30 people get shot, about a dozen people killed. Again, almost all black. But putting aside race or anything else, like what, what would you think the best argument that they could make for why they are allowing this happen would be if we were really trying to kind of steel man their position?

[C]

I mean, it's, it's tough to really say. I mean, you could, you could go back to the, the question of why did Joe Biden allow millions upon millions upon millions of illegals to pour into the country during his administration? I mean, there is like different arguments that can be made. You know, he. To repopulate the United States to become more Democratic, to become more liberal, more progressive, to which they would then vote for more liberal and progressive and Democratic candidates in future elections. And therefore, you know, someone like Trump would never get into office. I mean, I'm not really understanding when you, when you hear him speak on public programs, on news programs, he can't even give a straight answer as to why he's not doing anything to protect his, his constituents. So your guess is as good as mine. I'm, I'm just happy that I don't live in Chicago, although I don't live in, like, somewhere that I can so much brag about the policies.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

But I actually do like Eric Adams, and I do think he has many of our best interests. I just think his hands are tied in his specific situation as, as far as what he can do.

[A]

But what do you think is going to happen in New York as long as you brought up Eric Adams? I mean, the guys poll, last I.

[B]

Saw, Charlie starts learning some Arabic. That's what I think.

[C]

Well, you know, there's, there's now the, I don't, I don't know if it's even fair to call them rumors at this point, reports. I'm not really sure that, you know, Trump is looking to perhaps pull Eric Adams into a White House position, something that would take him then out of the mayoral race, because it doesn't look like he's going to win. It doesn't look like, you know, anyone besides Mondami has a shot at winning. If we have three, it's, you know, three against one. This is what I've been saying along. I'm like, Trump needs to step in. He needs to protect the professional and personal elements of probably Sliwa, I would imagine, and Eric Adams and say, listen, you cannot run. We need all of our eggs in one basket if we're going to defeat this socialist nutcase. And it looks like that's, you know, what's starting to exactly happen.

[A]

So you, and you think that basket is Andrew Cuomo?

[C]

I, I do, I do. I think. I think while a lot of people have their problems with Cuomo, I think they still know what they're getting with Andrew Cuomo because he's already been in office and there's like, a little bit of comfort in. Okay, we've seen what you can do. Is it the greatest?

[B]

No.

[C]

Is it the worst? No.

[B]

But there's enough people you can do kill tens of thousands of elderly.

[A]

He shouldn't have killed all those old people because they weren't.

[C]

Listen, I understand, I understand. But like, putting that aside, and that was horrible. And I don't want to. You know, I don't want to.

[B]

Charlie, I'm giving you a hard time. I'm with you. Yeah.

[C]

No, no.

[A]

Every single person with you. Yeah.

[B]

For one day, every New Yorker needs to be a Cuomosexual and vote for Andrew Cuomo and save the city. Dave, if I could actually make a deejay request for another show closer to the election, I actually think we need a campaign against Curtis Lewa, the man. He's actually the only one who can't be bought, which is crazy because he's the one we need to make sure leaves the race. He's been running for mayor of New York City since I can remember as a child. And in the last election, when they asked him, what's the issue you care the most about? He said, saving the cats. Saving the cats. Ok. Is there a pussycat?

[C]

What song are you requesting?

[A]

Yeah, so what's the song?

[B]

My Tiki request is a topic. No, the topic of Curtis Lewa and a smear campaign. I'm actively openly asking to get. Get Curtis out of the race because Cuomo can be Cuomo Adams. They could both be bribed out of running for mayor. They could both be given positions in law firms or in an admin, and they'll. They'll drop out. But we need it to be Andrew Cuomo for the. For the name recognition alone. Curtis Levo is unrealistically, selfishly running and taking votes away.

[A]

God, what. What a sad state of affairs that it has to be any of these. Charlie, I do agree with you, by the way. It's not that Cuomo's heart. Yes, he's. Has he done some seriously stupid stuff, especially during COVID Yes. He's not a horrible human being. He's not a radical lunatic leftist. But that. The idea that he's the savior or Eric Adams, who. It sounds like you both kind of like a little more than I do, because to me, he ushered in so much of this that he's the savior of the very city he largely destroyed.

[C]

Also, he did usher in a lot. I think he realized very quickly what was. I mean, you know, listen, Eric Adams, I think he's built a little bit differently. I'm not saying he's built well, but, like, he's the guy we've been seeing at Zero Bond. He's the guy that has, like, the corner table, all the hottest restaurants. Like, he's mixing and mingling not just with people politically. He's, like, trying to Build himself up and build a life for himself. That's interesting to him. And I think he's also realizing, hey, a lot of these people, they are not down with the policies of the city. So what do I do to appease them as well? And that's when he started like getting more in withdrawal.

[A]

Well, if we're slightly having trouble ordering which is the worst of the saviors here, let's go to someone who I'm pretty sure we can all agree is quite horrific and thankfully no longer in public life. Although she was one. I mean, the idea that Brandon Johnson is worse than this woman is extraordinary. Lori Lightfoot, ladies and gentlemen.

[C]

If he comes to Chicago, he's going to be in court and he's going to be sued by the state, he's going to be sued by the city. And I believe that there will be private interests that also sue him. This is not about violent crime and I don't think we should pretend that this manufactured crisis and his attempt to provoke people in Chicago is legitimate exercise of power. It is not if he really cared about violent crime. Go after the gun manufacturers who are just mass producing these weapons and have no liability or accountability. Go after the gun stores that know that they're selling to straw purchasers that flood into our city. Pass common sense gun reform that we have been begging for, for decades. Those are the kinds of things that actually would make a meaningful difference in violent crime. He's not talking about any of those things. He will not do any of those things because this is not about violent crime. It's about something else.

[A]

Aaron, do I have to ask a question there? You want to just talk about Lori Lightfoot?

[B]

Let me just spew some stuff first. Let's talk about it. Dave, you know me too well. First. Every time I look at Lori Lightfoot, I really did just, I did not prep this so might come out all wrong but she reminds me of a bouncer at the back door of a bad jazz club that you see at 3am is trying to like bum a cigarette from you. There's something about the way she's dressed that I would call the boyfriend look, except we know it's not from her boyfriend. It's like an ill fitting suit and like it really is. I'm not trying to be looksist but at the same time when someone makes a choice to have their hair like that, you have to wonder what's going on inside and is it Lori, is it a cry for help that that's the hair situation you always choose. So no I mean, they're all posturing. Everyone's always like, passing the puck up. Is it puck, buck, passing, whatever. Kicking the can down the road to someone else. When it comes to problems that they created when they. She was in office, she could have done many things. I. What? I would love to know a single accomplishment that Lori Lightfoot actually point to from her.

[A]

Oh, we have one. We have one. I'm waiting for somebody to maybe say, Lori Leifewitz never accomplished anything in her tenure as mayor because look at this.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

You know, I get to see your faces when we play these things. The audience doesn't have. Neither one of you. Have neither one of you seen that clip before? That was Lori Lightning.

[C]

I've never seen it.

[A]

She dressed up.

[B]

I think I laughed it out.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. So. So who doesn't have any accomplishments now? Erin, you're so.

[B]

I've.

[C]

Well, Erin, would you like to walk back your statement? Yes. I feel like you owe her an apology, a big one.

[B]

Yeah. Thank you for correcting me on air on this record, Dave. I appreciate it. No, she looks worse than the fake Wuhan bat we were told about. I just can't.

[C]

It's years.

[B]

This is years ago, right? At this point, it must be five years ago, and she somehow looks worse.

[A]

Charlie, the temerity of these people who get everything wrong. Like, again, why does it. Lori Lightfoot is black. I assume as a good progressive, she cares whether black people are getting killed. And yet not only did she do nothing, the new mayor is doing nothing, and they're pissed at the people that are trying to do something.

[C]

I don't think that she's worried about anybody, because if she could call the violence in Chicago a manufactured problem. Right, Concocted by Trump, that tells you all you need to know. I mean, anybody who's paying even a slight bit of attention. Chicago has a horrific crime rate. And in fact, you know, recently over the weekend, we saw it skyrocket. Everybody's talking about it. There's nothing manufactured about those numbers. Those are cold, hard facts. Something needs to be done. But clearly, if she's willing to just, like, so boldly come out and say there is no issue, and she expects people to just get on board with her. I mean, she doesn't believe. She doesn't believe a word that she says. But, you know, these are the talking points that she has been told to say out loud, and she's. Maybe. Maybe she does believe them herself. Who knows? Just like Letitia James recently said that Zorin Mandami was Born and raised in the Bronx. And we all know he's from Uganda.

[A]

Yes. Like AOC was born and raised in the Bronx, even though she's not. Yeah, it's. Oh, God, these people. All right, let's talk about PDS debt for a minute and then we will not show you any other video of Lori Lightfoot. I promise. The system isn't broken. It's rigged. And if you're buried in debt, that's exactly how they want it. Big banks profit when you're desperate. Creditors win when you lose. But you don't have to play their game. That's where PDS debt comes in. They've already helped hundreds of thousands of people break free from credit cards, loans and high interest traps. And now they can help you. Here's what makes them different. PDS goes beyond the numbers. To actually understand your unique financial situation, they'll craft a personalized plan design just for you.

PDS debt.com Reuben okay, so there's some really wacky stuff involving Robert F. Kennedy and a congressional hearing that's been happening over the last 24 hours or so. But let me first jump to this story from Fox News. The headline about what's going on with HHS right now as he's trying to clean it up. More than a thousand HHS workers demand Kennedy resignation over CDC director firing and agency changes. So look, Bobby's going in with the Maha thing saying we're getting rid of these draconian laws. We're not going to do mandates again. We're going to look at vaccines. He's doing all of the things he promised, all of the reasons that Maha joined maga. This has people seriously pissed. Frankly, to me, you fire every single one of those people yesterday. They should all be gone before I have you guys chime in. He then testifies. This was, this was the viral clip of yesterday on the Interwebs. He testifies at Congress and Elizabeth Warren was not too happy with him, are.

[C]

Effectively denying people vaccines.

[A]

We're not gonna recommend a product for which there's no clinical data for that indication. Would you. Is that what I should be doing?

[C]

What you should be doing is honoring.

[B]

Your promise that you made when you.

[C]

Were looking to get confirmed in this job.

[A]

You're going like this.

[B]

That is, you promised that you would.

[C]

Not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them.

[B]

You just changed the classification of the COVID vaccine.

[A]

I'm not taking them away from people, Senator.

[C]

It takes it away.

[B]

If you can't get it from your.

[A]

Pharmacy, most Americans are going to be able to get it from their pharmacy for free. $Most Americans will be able to get it from their pharmacy for the question.

[B]

Is everyone who wants it. That was your promise.

[A]

No, I can't. I never promised that I was going to recommend products with which there is no indication.

[C]

When you said, and I know you've.

[A]

Taken $855,000 from pharmaceutical companies, Senator, did.

[C]

You hold up a big sign saying that you were lying when you said that? Because you are the one who said you would not take them away.

[A]

Now, Senator, I'm not taking them away from anything. Secretary, you want me to indicate a product for which there is no clinical data. It is so obvious to me that that's the woman in the movie who's supposed to be like the like, indifferent, sort of quiet librarian who then eats children after school. That's. That's number one. Number two, he's not taking away vaccines from anybody. All he's saying is the government isn't going to recomm things that we don't have enough information about. Kind of like the COVID vaccine, but you can still go get it at CVS or Walgreens if you want to. Charlie, I just don't like this woman. And, and Bobby should just not be subjected to this. But it's just never going to end. They hate a traitor more than anyone else. A traitor to the point.

[C]

First of all, when he's, when he said, you've taken $855,000, I thought he was about to say you've taken 855,000 boosters. Like, I was waiting for him to come at her with that and I was like, oh my gosh, I was ready for. Started laughing in advance, and I was like, oh, no, he's not going to say that. But she probably has taken 855,000 boosters, which is, you know, a problem in itself. You know, we, we all, after having now several years to look at. Let's just use the COVID vaccine as the prime example as to something that was shoved down our throats. Not just recommended, but demanded for most people who wanted to keep their jobs and you know, and stay alive. You know, a lot of people there's like all this fear mongering going on and now we have the retrospect to be like, no, not only was it not necessary or fruitful in the terms of helping the virus not to spread per se, but also there's a lot of horrible side effects people are now realizing. So, you know, it's, you know, when we have that information and RFK is like, no, you know, I'm not going to recommend something that is not proven to help anybody. In fact in many cases has been proven to hurt people. This is the type of person we want more of. So to have someone like Elizabeth Warren be like, I can't believe you. This is crazy. You're breaking your promises. Absolutely not. He's doing everything and more he said he's going to do. And I want to see more people like RFK Jr in office helping us to get to the right place. Because I mean, we stick with the old. We all know what's going to happen, right? He's, he's the new way and we need to make America healthy again.

[A]

Let's map out this week's amazing destinations and travel tips.

[B]

Honestly Will, I didn't plan any trips but I did switch to T Mobile with their new family freedom offer.

[A]

That's not the itinerary we're following.

[B]

Well, I'm departing from AT&T and embarking on a new journey with T Mobile. They paid off my family's four phones up to $3200 and gave us four new phones on the house.

Aaron, what do we do about the disconnect, the reality disconnect on all of this stuff? Because obviously we watch this. Everyone watch watching my show is watching it going, of course Bobby's Right. You don't. The government doesn't have to recommend it. And if you want to stick something in your body, go ahead and do it. It doesn't mean the government has to recommend it. Knows that she's lying. Knows that she takes money from pharmaceuticals, even if that's not the reason she's doing it. What do we do about the general disconnect that there are still millions of people that will watch that clip or it'll be shown on other, you know, lefty YouTube channels or whatever it is that are going to watch it and be like, bobby Kennedy's hiding vaccines for people. Like, how are we ever going to arbitrage these two realities, please?

[B]

Yeah, you know, when I watched that clip, I was thinking, if Elizabeth Warren were actually Native American, her name would be she who Cries Crocodile Tears. Because we all know she didn't. She couldn't even. She sounded like she was trying to cry or she. Like she was trying to be upset, but it wasn't even working. She couldn't even convince herself because she knows what she's saying is patently false. He is saying to her, I'm not. Like you both pointed out, I'm not getting rid of these vaccines means we're just not forcing it on people. And there are two problems there. The first is that the left has gotten very high on their own supply of being the authoritarian ruling class of this country, and they love the control. That was Covid, Right? Take the jab. It doesn't matter which one or how many. It doesn't matter if it's one with J&J or Jay or two with Pfizer. It doesn't matter. You just have to prove that you listen to us and you submitted. And with the left, it's always about submission, and they're losing that power, and the loss of that control is making them absolutely spiral. But the second thing is. And like, you know, I usually like to be funny about this stuff, but this is so deeply unfunny to me, which is, I think, really, this boils down to. It sounds like a non sequitur almost. But the trans issue to me is where all these other problems stem from, which is the left has decided to distort reality, right? So we have RFK saying, you don't have to take the vaccines. They're still available. And she says you're getting rid of them. Right? A boy is a boy, a girl is a girl. That's not true. Like, we're dealing with half of the country that refuses just to acknowledge the same data set, the same set of facts that we can't even agree on just basic truths anymore and we're just talking past each other. There is no more intellectual honesty. Right? It's you could just be honest and say this is okay. Not everything that Trump or his administration or rfk, whatever they do, not everything needs the knee jerk reaction from the left to oppose it. But I like this is why I get very specific on pronouns and language. Because if we let people slide away with distorting reality, that's when you get a hearing like this where a sitting congresswoman refuses to acknowledge what RFK is saying.

[A]

Right? And they do this with all the words and all the phrases gender affirming care. It's the least affirming thing you could do when you chop off a child's genitals. But okay, let's leave that. We will jump it turns out that Donald Trump did not die earlier in the week. That had some people very upset. First Tax Network USA and then we'll get to some people booing about it.

So Stephen Colbert, a man who makes $20 million for one more year to host a show that loses $50 million a year. Show me the math on that. He's almost out of a job, but here he is talking about how there was a hoax going on over the Labor Day weekend that Donald Trump had died. Turns out Donald Trump, thank God, did not die. Colbert's audience was, let's say, less than enthused. Came back. When I came back in the office, I was shocked to learn that this weekend, the biggest story was frenzied social media rumors speculating whether Donald Trump had died. For the record, Donald Trump is very much alive. Okay? And. No, we like our presidents alive. Donald Trump is very much alive. And this whole crazy rumor started simply because Trump had zero events on his schedule Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. And one of the only signs that he might still be around was music in the Rose Garden, which the White House confirmed was the President's music, which I gotta say, is not the strongest proof of life. Yes, nurse, I do see that flat line. But the patient is clearly alive because his iPhone is playing Papa Loves Mambo. Papa Loves Mambo anyway. But because. Okay, so, yes, it's obviously overly scripted. They're telling people when to laugh. He knows it's not even funny. He's embarrassed sort of when they boo, even though he's ginned them up for all of this stuff. Like, is. Let's put aside Trump the. The hoax for a second. Like, the idea that these shows even exist at this point is almost patently ridiculous. Right, Charlie?

[C]

Well, yeah, it's like the View. I mean, the View is like, the most extreme example.

[A]

How.

[C]

Listen, all I have to say is, I'm so grateful. I'm so grateful I do not have a mother that watches the View, because how do you do. How do you defend that? I mean, it's just. Just one of those things. I. I truly don't understand what type of person goes. Finds it entertaining, tells their friends about it, repeats the things they heard. I mean, I guess for, like. For one, like, some of these shows are all for show, right? Like, it used to be cool to go to, like, Jimmy Kimmel or, like, Jimmy Fallon. I don't even remember all their names anymore.

[A]

Johnny Carson.

[C]

You know what I mean? Like, it used to be cool to go on these shows, and now it's just, like, this big charade of lameness and people pretending to like it. And they. I don't know, you got people from, like, these little tiny pockets, like, in the country that are like, I'm gonna go to these big cities and go to these shows and sit there and I'm gonna laugh because I feel like I should. And, like, I just had my, like, cheap box wine before I came here, so maybe It's a little more funny than it normally would have been, but. Yeah. I don't know. I. I don't go to those shows. So that answers your question. I don't really know. I'm not there.

[A]

Right. I mean, they literally, in the audience at these shows have a sign that tells you when to laugh. That is all you need to know.

[B]

The Seals.

[A]

Erin. We almost did it. We almost had a Rubin report first. You already know what I'm gonna say. I'm back this week. Without mentioning the View was not mentioned once. We didn't play a clip. Nothing.

[C]

I didn't even know that was a thing, so you're welcome. I didn't wanna break the streak. It was.

[B]

I get you, Dave. For Dave's birthday, I got. I planted trees in Israel. In sunny Hostin's name.

[A]

In sunny Hostin's name. There's a sunny Hostin tree. Israel for me.

[B]

Yes. Yeah. No, I mean.

[C]

But also, does she know this?

[B]

Can we. Can we talk about the fact that the hypocrisy of that clip, specifically with Stephen Colbert talking about how the confirmation is the music. You mean you're the same people that, roughly a year ago took a letter signed by Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race when we had legitimately not seen the man, and you thought we were crazy for wondering where the President was?

[C]

Was.

[B]

Meanwhile, President Trump takes a holiday weekend to not solve global conflict or. Or impose tariffs that work and don't cause inflation while markets go up or do one of the million other things that the man is doing on a daily basis. My favorite thing, though, is on our podcast, which we shot yesterday, and you guys could find US members club pod. We're on YouTube. Thanks so much. And Shameless. Plugged in. But my favorite thing was asking Charlie, Charlie, where were you when you found out that Trump was dead? And Charlie's answer was, I actually found out he was dead when he was confirmed to be alive. Because I'd been unaware.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Of these rumors. It was crazy. And it was like it was stuck in the blue sky, like mental asylum chamber. Right. Where we didn't even know what was going on. That it was our headlines about what was happening over on the left side of the aisle. I knew about it because liberal friends of mine were texting me, asking me what happened to Trump. And I knew it had to be fake because you go, it's a. It's a normal day on Twitter. People in the White House are doing their work and posting about it. And. And they got themselves into Such a frenzy. They convinced themselves with. With wishful thinking. Because, again, this is the party who. That's nihilistic. They hate themselves, so they hate everyone else.

[C]

Else.

[B]

They want to sterilize the kids like that. It's that party that wanted. That was so joyous that the president could possibly be dead.

[A]

Well, here's a unemployed woman talking about Trump's health.

[C]

Mainstream media will not touch these questions.

[B]

About Donald Trump's obviously declining health.

[C]

His ankles are the size of watermelons. He.

[B]

He can barely. They're like elephant legs. They're like elephant legs straight down, barely walk down a flight of stairs.

[C]

And that's not even new. He's.

[B]

He can barely walk up or down.

[C]

Stairs when Joe Biden was president. I mean, where is Jake Tapper? Okay, we got to live in speculation.

[B]

And not from just the Twitter world.

[C]

That was, of course, attacking Joe Biden and saying he was seen out or that he was dead.

[B]

There was a meme online that Joe.

[C]

Biden was deceased and that it was.

[B]

Really Barack Obama running the country. We had to hear that all on social media. But that bled right onto mainstream media, who would constantly speculate about Joe Biden's health, whether he was fit enough to.

[A]

Be president, whether he was going senile.

[C]

If he ever slipped.

[A]

The guy had a stutter. God forbid he stutters suddenly.

[C]

Okay, now with Trump, the mainstream media.

[B]

Is so terrified of him.

[A]

Charlie, is Joy Reid a natural blonde?

[C]

You know what the thing I noticed first and foremost, I, like, squinted. I'm like, what is this? Black History hall of Fame she's sitting in front of? Like, that's her backdrop. Naturally, it would be. You know, I am a woman in my 30s, and I get swollen ankles sometime. Like, that's not something we need to be extremely worried about. Okay? Like, sometimes you get a little bloated, right? When you're going from time zone to time zone. Trump's a busy guy. Sometimes you get a little bit of extra bloated. We weren't speculating about Joe Biden being senile. We had evidence. We saw him constantly smelling little children. We saw him almost, like, veer off into the jungle after doing a press conference. We saw him slip up the stairs of Air Force One. We saw him stumbling on stage constantly. We saw him forgetting what he was supposed to say. I mean, this was on a daily basis. We weren't speculating about anything. So it's just. I mean, this is just the most insane double standard I have ever heard. If we thought there was something really wrong with Trump, I really really believe if something really showed up on a regular basis that was concerning, people would be talking about it because, you know, of course we want to support him, but we also are not going to prop up someone who's not fit to run this country. And the good news is, guys, if, God forbid, Trump wasn't fit to run the country anymore, we have a phenomenal backup in JD Vance.

[A]

Not only is that we would not be worried. I like how you very subtly connected the smelling of children to the senility. I'm pretty sure those things were completely unconnected. But you definitely like. I think if you Google senility, it doesn't have anything to do with smelling children. His smelling children thing was happening way before the senility.

[B]

But maybe, though, the fact that he was willing to.

[C]

To the willing that the fact that he was willing to do it when he knew he was on camera maybe shows that he was senile. Right.

[B]

He was taking showers with Ashley Biden long before the senility set in. So, yeah, no excuses there. Right?

[A]

Aaron, do you want to pile on Joy, or should we just move on to Joe Biden eating ice cream for just one second?

[B]

Because yes, if I could just add one thing, which is, again, the cultural appropriation of blonde hair from liberal black celebrities who insist that everything is cultural appropriation except when Joy Reid or Beyonce or whoever it is does it, then that's. Or Whoopi Goldberg. You know, I did a petition. Surprisingly, it didn't go anywhere. To have her give up her culturally appropriated last name Goldberg. Never see her in synagogue, never seen her eat a bagel and.

[A]

Oh, she eats bagels. Lots of them.

[B]

She eats.

[C]

She eats them by the bag.

[B]

She eats something.

[A]

We'll do this very quickly because it's low hanging fruit. But Joe Biden, the man that, that literally less than a year and a half ago was still running to be president, this is all he can do at this point. Show up to an ice cream shop and listen to the way they talk to him and about him as if he's a five year old.

[B]

Well, the whole family. Yeah, exactly.

[C]

Thank you.

[B]

Double con.

[C]

He's dou. Listen, once the blue moon.

[A]

Guys, I know it's low hanging fruit. It's ridiculous. It's pointless to talk about him. He now also has cancer, which he likely had, and they hid and all of the stuff. But when you really look at that and you see the frailty and the way they're talking about him and it's sort of like Dr. Jill Biden. Remember after the debate, you answered all the questions the fact that they dare. That Joy Reid or any of these people, that they dare participate in anything as it pertains to Trump, that is the man that they wanted to be president. Right now, it really is deranged. Aaron.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, there's a part of me that now that he's out of office and we've moved on to better things, things, a part of me feels a little sad for him and a little sorry and the idea that maybe if he really is, he's been senile, perhaps everything started out of his control. Like Dr. Joe Biden. By the way, the diet Dr. Pepper sitting on my desk over here is more of a doctor than she is. But, you know, maybe this is really a case of elder abuse and he didn't have a choice, and he was just being guided along and he couldn't say much. I would think that, except when you look at his record for decades in US Government, he has always been extreme. He has always hated half this country. He has always supported some of the most vile policies that have been put forth. So I don't feel badly at all. I don't feel badly at all. I hope he gets haunted through his days as he goes into public, and I don't feel sorry for him. No chance.

[A]

Yeah, I get it. There's, like, the human part and then there's this other part of, like, sorry, you chose this thing, and then you're in a machine that's abusing you and everything else. Charlie.

[C]

Yeah. But I will say, you know what, though, I have to say, and I. Cause, you know, I do feel like when you look at the left, they are the ones that constantly, like, you hear, like, Dave, we can't forget the time the way we met was on Piers Morgan and that crazy person who was, like, excited that Trump was shot at. You know, like, you hear. You hear people like him saying, oh, like, these people deserve what they get. Like, listen, I still have a lot of human left in me. Like, politics aside, like, I don't want to see anyone have cancer. I don't want to see anyone, you know, become a shell of themselves in a way that, you know, it's. It's sad. It is sad for me to see videos like that, but it also makes me sad that we as a country had that as our president and that, like, we were forced to believe that that was okay and that we were all being gaslit into, like, thinking that we were the horrible ones. So.

[B]

Well, think about this. He was president in this calendar year.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

In through January, he was our president. That's crazy. And also, I didn't realize I'm trauma bonded. You guys are trauma bonded.

[A]

We are. We are trauma bonded. And I like seeing you guys do a little good cop, bad cop. That's nice. Let's map out this week's amazing destinations and travel tips.

[B]

Honestly, Will, I didn't plan any trips, but I did switch to T Mobile with their new Family Freedom offer.

[A]

That's not the itinerary we're following.

[B]

Well, I'm departing from AT&T and embarking on a new journey with T Mobile. They paid off my family's four phones up to $3200 and gave us four new phones on the house.

They're about to become a socialist shithole run by jihadis and genderqueer lunatic. Here is Zorhan Mamdani talking about some of his policies. A lot of what our campaign is portrayed as, as if there is no precedent for it. Think about democratic socialism. I am a democratic socialist. I also wouldn't be the first democratic socialist mayor. We've had a number and we've even had a mayor who was a member.

[B]

Of the Democratic Socialists of America. That's David Dinkins, you know, not just.

[A]

A few decades ago.

[C]

Go.

[A]

And people ask me, how can this interact with New York City being the home of global finance? And I say my focus as a democratic socialist is ensuring that every New.

[C]

Yorker lives a dignified life.

[A]

That is my responsibility to ensure that what you need, what is necessary for you is something that you're not priced out of. I believe that the city should provide universal child care. It's my first week back. I'm not going to say all the things David Dinkins.

[C]

We want you to say all the.

[A]

Things David Dinkins was mayor of New York City when I lived in Long island and my great grandparents and grandparents and many cousins all lived in New York City. And we'd go there every weekend and he turned that place into an abject, drug infested hell hole that a guy by the name of Rudy Giuliani cleaned up. We all know the story there. But I really want to focus, put aside the policies. Everyone watching this gets that the policies are ridiculous. Can you guys talk to the fake affect that he's using the whisper and that NPR thing? Because there's something else. We all get the bad policies. There's something else going on with the way they've packaged him. They took sort of a quasi jihadist, lefty, socialist, whatever you want to call him, and they filtered him and they play lo fi music in the background and he whispers like an NPR freak. And somehow what do you. You guys are younger than me. What do you think that's doing to the Internet generation? Charlie, you first, since you're gonna have to live through it.

[C]

Yeah, first of all, please. I'm still not convinced that this is going to be the future. I think if people are smart enough and Trump gets in and does, does his thing like we spoke about earlier, I do believe there's still hope for New York City. And I also know that there's enough powerful people, enough who are still rallying together to try to create a very positive force that drives us into November. So we'll see. I don't know, I mean, it kind of reminds me of. Have you ever seen. And I mean, it could be similar to what we just saw with Stephen Colbert. There are certain TV shows that, you know, when you plug in the laughter you at home, when you hear other people laugh, it makes you want to laugh, it makes you smile. So then your memories of watching the show are ones of, oh, I was laughing and I was smiling during the show. If they weren't to have people forced laughing during the show, your reactions and like your inner dialogue and how you felt would also be changed. I also feel like when you watch TV shows back, they plug in music at very specific places. If they were to take the music out and we were just to have the characters sitting with themselves and speaking and there was no music or even like on social media, take a reel and take the music out of the background and just have the, you know, action taking place as it, as it was, it has a totally different feel, a totally different effect on you. And I think that's what they're doing. Like they're finding ways to make him appeal to your inner senses, to your emotions and, and they're finding ways that aren't actually natural to him, but Superficial ways in order to get you to relate to a guy like him. So they're doing a pretty good job. I mean, getting a pretty charismatic guy like himself who has, like, you know, seemingly progressive ideas, even though we know that they're just, like, repackaged, like, horrible ideas. Like, Bill de Blasio just endorsed this guy. So it's. It's. There's a lot going on, but the way he's being packaged, the way he's being presented is smart. And his poll numbers are reflecting.

[A]

Well, let's throw actually to Bill de Blasio, who was the pre. I guess you could say he was a Democrat, Socialist. I don't know if he exactly said it, but he was a horrific mayor of New York City who led to a lot of this disaster. He's endorsing mom dummy, and he had a less than impressive appearance on television. Watch this free bus. And who runs that? The city of New York runs it, just like we run so many other services. And the bottom line here is to think about the free buses again. Free buses has been proven to work in many parts of the country where it's. Get your list of cities. But the bottom line is it is something that allows people to, one, reduce their costs, which people are overwhelmed by, to get into mass transit more. It works because we know that if people are given a quality alternative they can afford, they'll use it. Bill, could you name one place? One place. I'll get back to you with the list. My God, Aaron.

[B]

I know. Well, first of all, the bus and subway are free for the people who don't pay for it. And I feel like an idiot every time I'm swiping my Metro card. Or now you could tap it, finally, after all these years. But no, I'm actually one of the few people that stands online at CVS in New York City to go buy something after waiting 300 hours for a worker to open every last section of CVS for me to get my shampoo.

[A]

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're paying for your deodorant, you sucker.

[B]

I know it's crazy, but, you know, I had. I had forgotten what it was like to have cuck lord Bill de Blasio on the news because, as we all know, his wife was going around to Vogue and all the magazines talking about their open marriage that he was so clearly upset over the man who killed Punxsutawney Phil. Justice for Phil. If we could just remember him for a second. That's like the Groundhog Day.

[A]

Yes, yes.

[B]

Phil up, and Bill de Blasio somehow dropped him, and then he died. So, like, these are things that literally killed the ground. Very important New York City lore for people to remember. So that is the man endorsing, like, I was gonna, like, do.

[C]

He's like, I did a shitty job, but I wasn't able to. Like, I. I need you to finish the shitty job that I wasn't able to. Yeah.

[B]

You know? Yeah. Zoran Mamdani is like the guy running for class president who's saying, free vending machine and no homework. And everyone's like, yeah. And the problem with this is that no one uses our brains anymore, and everyone has goldfish memories. And because people. Life in New York City and Charlie and I could both attest to this, it is expensive, it is hard, it is grinding. There is a lot of friction, and people just look for change. And so when you have a soft spoken, low T soy beta loser who's saying, like, I believe in. I believe in change. Like, don't just follow me. Trust me, That's. That's who they're gonna go with.

[A]

Are you saying Bill de Blasio had no good ideas? Cause I. I thought during COVID this was pretty solid. Free fries when you get vaccinated. I got vaccinated. You're saying I could get this. Eat delicious fries. Wait a minute. But there's also a burger element to this. Let me check with Bill Neidhart. Is it too early in the day to eat a burger? This could be breakfast. Okay, I want you to look at this and think about again. Some people love hamburgers. Some don't really want to respect all ways of life. But if this is appealing to you, just think of this when you think of vaccination. You know, I've seen that video a hundred times. But did he turn and say, let me ask Bill retard about. Is that what he said? Let me ask Bill retard about the product.

[B]

Oh, my God. Like the asmr. I forgot about the ASMR part of that unseemly video with the software, soft french fries and the like. Things I didn't need on this.

Here is a compilation of anti immigration protests happening over Australia, New Zealand, uk, France, Spain, Australia, Australia, Poland and Germany. So that kind of gives you some hope that all those racists right there might actually take their countries over again, right, Charlie?

[C]

Yeah, I mean, people are certainly realizing what the prices that they're going to have to pay if policies like this remain in place. So, yeah, I love seeing stuff like that. I just hope that, you know, it doesn't get to the point where now you speak out against immigration and you decide to rally and do things like that, then now you are at threat of being arrested. I don't know how you arrest all those people exactly. I mean, and that's going to scare a lot of people. But I'm happy people at least have the courage to say, you know, what if it means potentially being arrested, so what? At least I can stand up for what I believe in. So, yeah, it gives me some hope, I suppose, but I don't really know what to think anymore, honestly.

[A]

Let's end with this because I think it perfectly sums up so much of what we've been talking about. And actually, just what you mentioned right there, Charlie, there is a comedian by the name of Gran Lineham from the uk. Here's Fox covering him being arrested for exercising what we once called free speech comes as British comedian Graham Linehan posted yesterday that he's been arrested again. When he landed at Heathrow Airport, Linehan says he was met by five armed officers. He says they told him he was being arrested over three posts on X line. In a country where pedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilized five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet. And no, I promise you, I am not making this up up. Yeah, it definitely is not new. I mean, the New York Post reported just a few months ago that they'd had dozens and dozens of arrests per day based on social media postings. Meanwhile, obviously they have crime problems that are out of control in the uk. They've had massive scandals inside the UK government and covered up by the UK media, including that Rotherham grooming gang scandal, which actually spanned a number of cities in the uk. And currently Yvette Cooper is the Home Secretary over there. Is talking about importance importing more refugees from the Middle east who are presumably not going to share sort of the UK's historic values. So this is what it looks like when a civilization decides to completely hollow itself out. Well, I don't know who that fast talking little guy is, but he makes a good point. There's been a lot of really bad stuff happening in the uk, like the mass grooming and raping by Pakistani gangs. They're not even gangs. Like, just. They're random men that have been Middle.

[B]

Eastern men that were allowed to come to. Yeah. To hear.

[A]

Right. So we've had an awful lot of that. And they're going after the comedians. So I guess we should all just be happy to live in the United States, at least the three of us, huh?

[C]

Yes. But also we should be happy that, you know, you have comedians like this who are still willing to stand their ground because did you see the way that he showed up today for Court? He had the signs hanging around his chest, you know, saying there's no such thing as a transgender child. And on the flip side, you know, keep men out of women's sports. Oh, you have it. Okay, cool. Yeah. Because that was definitely a win.

[A]

Yeah. Aaron, bring us home here. Final thought. Should we arrest comedians for saying that boys and girls are different?

[B]

Well, it's funny because I like to fancy myself somewhat of a comedian, which is, you know, as a woman, a very bold thing to say, but I like to think I'm funny for a woman. The bar for that is exciting.

[C]

I agree. I think I'm. I think I'm a little funny. Aaron.

[B]

Yes. No. Charlie, also a little funny for women.

[C]

You're hilarious.

[B]

Charlie doesn't try to be funny. She doesn't try. I, like, actively want to be funny. So it's like the active, relentless, unapologetic pursuit. But we're women, and so we. We could just, you know, no one else is funny, so it's fine. And Dave, you are. You started really in comedy. And so I do think when, like, comedy is the place of truth, and if comedians can't say what you know to be true, even if it's uncomfortable or offensive or you disagree with it, like, comedy is the final beacon of free speech in a society. So good for him. Good. Like, I will keep saying, just. Just laugh, but no laugh tracks. We didn't need any laugh tracks.

[C]

On the show.

[B]

Somehow we managed to entertain you if you're still watching this without any background noise the entire time.

[A]

Right? I mean, Oscar Wilde, to loosely quote him. Like, if you want to tell people the truth, you better be funny or they're gonna kill you. What a two happening. What a two happening chicks. Like you guys do on the weekend. Charlie in New York. What are you gonna do besides avoiding horrible stuff?

[C]

Well, I am actually playing in a pickleball tournament this weekend. I've never. And let me just also say, I've never played pickleball in my life, so it could be very interesting. Could a very interesting showing. But I'm. I'm paired up with a pro pickleball player, so hopefully they pull their weight. Otherwise I'm just going to be kicking it, you know, watching a little US Open tennis and, and enjoying the last, you know, few weeks of beautiful weather we have here in New York and hopefully staying safe and not, you know, getting mugged.

[A]

All you need to know about pickleball is there's going to be a long line of ambulances taking the old people who break a hip and twist a knee and crush their face. And it's kind of fun to watch. Aaron, you're in the free state of Florida. What are you doing? Rodeo alligator wrestling. You're going to the Everglades to fight with the what? What?

[B]

It's funny you say that though, because for people who don't know this, I'm hiking all the national parks. I'm not doing any this weekend, but I've done 47 of the now 63 US national parks. And I did the Everglades years ago and I did the ranger led swamp slog where you're like, up to your chest in this, in the swamp with all the different critters that exist that could possibly attack you. And I strategically went during the polar vortex of 2017, so they were all like kind of tucked away asleep because I'm terrified of all those animals. So I did that. But no, it's a chill weekend. I was away for almost the entire month of August. I'm so happy to be back. Just seeing friends, spending time with Theo, my. My dog, and that's it.

[A]
