Dave Rubin (0:00)

Hi, we're here eagerly awaiting for Ilhan Omar to speak. Ilhan Omar is famous for many, many things and I want to speak very softly and respectfully here. Ilhan Omar, did you consummate the marriage to your brother? Which is worse, immigration fraud or brother? Are there any other relatives you fancy? Ilhan, how did your brother propose to you? Oh, that is good stuff. And yes, a sitting member of congress did marry her brother. Somebody might want to look into that. Hello, I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Reuben report. On February 26, 2025 we are live streaming on Rumble on YouTube, on Locals. We have a post game show@rubinreport locals.com and I just asked the team yesterday, it was very controversial around here. I turned to Joseph, our new associate producer. I said, what are we doing today? 1 out of 10? And he said the show was going to be a 10 out of 10. It's basically impossible. It's like the dunk contest, you know what I mean? It's just you can't have the perfect dunk. A 9, 9 is doable. I don't think a 10 is doable. We consider anything above a 9, 5 pretty spectacular. Anything over a 9, obviously good. Asked around, it was a lot of nine sixes today. People are feeling pretty good about things. And then I asked Joey, not Joseph over here, I asked Joey back there and he said 8 4, 8 4, which is like I gotta fire somebody at the end. It's like I gotta go doge and like what is, what is it that you people are doing or not doing? So we'll see what happens. But we got a big show. We're gonna start with my friend Stephen A. Smith, a man who has been in the Bill Maher tradition, let's say slowly red pilled, trying to make some sense of what has happened to the Democrat party. And he had Hakeem Jeffries, Timu Obama on his show and they got into it a little bit. I thought it was quite interest. We're going to connect that to a little bit of what's going on obviously with the media right now. We do have a little bit more of Joy Reid. We're squeezing the last bit of Joy Reid out of the tube before there's no more Joy Reid left. That sounded disgusting. And then there's some other interesting things happening. I think we are in a full American revival mode. Things are starting to work again and it's very exciting. So let's do a show as long as we're here. Stephen A. Smith, he talks like this and he's got a lot of opinions about everything. And I beat him in basketball pretty recently had Hakeem Jeffries on the show. Hakeem Jeffries, this guy is just, he's like robot Obama, like broken down, eight bit robot Obama. He's not particularly impressive, but he is a Democrat and I will give him credit for doing an interview with Stephen, who has been largely red pilled and did not vote for Trump, but says he kind of regrets it and really sees all the flaws in the Democrat Party and all of that. And Stephen a basically said, well, I don't want to leave too much. It was in effect. What is wrong with you people? When are we going to let go of January 6th? We going to let that go? Because he, I mean the man was impeached twice, convicted on 34 felony counts and still reelected. I mean, at some point in time, some, somebody like Senator Durbin and others who was asking Pam Bondi about, you know, you willing to admit he lost the election? It's like enough of that because the American people clearly have spoken. At least 77 plus million of them has spoken. He won the electoral college vote, he won the popular vote, he won the swing states, et cetera. They've said what they've had to say. When are y'all gonna let that go? And number two, how are you going to go go about not coming across as being at the mercy of the progressive left? Well, I think in terms of January 6th, look, it's not something that the American people should ever forget, okay? Because it was an extraordinary event. I was there. Are they the party of law and order that's actually lawlessness and disorder. We can't ignore it. I know they want us to. And actually the American people, as I travel the country all across America are appalled that that actually could happen. Why? Because they know it doesn't make them safer. Okay, so first we're going to show you another clip in just a moment. Now, again, I am not impressed by Hakeem Jeffries. He just seems like a not particularly upgraded robot. But the Democrats, as we talked about yesterday, they've really got nobody left. The identity politics thing has purged all of the somewhat sane liberals and now they just have a bunch of really kind of angry, hateful, anti American or I guess I can't even say that he's anti American specifically. It's just like you're just kind of nothing. So the idea that they still, you're still at this point not gonna let go of January 6th and imply that because of January6. That the Republicans aren't the party of, of law and order, that they're the party of lawlessness and disorder. That's what he said. It's like, dude, have you been to New York City? Have you been to San Francisco? Have you been to Chicago? We could do the laundry list of Democrat run cities that are overrun with drugs and homeless people and pushing people into subways. Oh, and burning people alive and shooting people and all the rest of it. Have you done that? Because that's your, that's your crew. So you can see they have created. And this was always the danger. The danger of calling Trump a racist, as I always said, was never about what you were doing to Trump. It was what you were doing to yourself. Because you're painting yourself in a corner. You can't suddenly be like, oh, that racist Hitler guy's pretty sweet. He's doing good. You can't do it. And it's exactly what they've done with this. You lie repeatedly about January 6th, you overstate what happened, all of that stuff. And now you guys are. It's saddled onto you. It's not on us, but it's actually, it's in the satchel now that is weighing you people down. Stephen A. After the talk to the camera, like, I don't know, something like what I do over here, and talked about how the Dems just don't have a leader. That's what they've been left with. And I think that was his kind of way of saying he wasn't particularly impressed. I want to give you my thoughts on the conversation I just had with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. First of all, impressive man. Obviously knows what the hell he's talking about. He's been around for quite a while. An individual that was endorsed by Nancy Pelosi. If you're somebody on the left, you're perfectly comfortable with that. If you're somebody that center left, okay, you'll tolerate it. Let's see how it goes. But in the aftermath of what transpired with this election, I just think that even though I was impressed with them and there's a lot that he had to say, it's important to point out that the Democratic Party looks a bit discombobulated. It's not enough anymore to engage in demagoguery about the other side. What are you going to do and how are you going to convince us to believe you? You first got to find somebody that's worth believing. And I'm not denigrating Leader Jeffries in any way. But when you think about a national voice for the party, who is that person? It's nonexistent right now. He's a, he's a good broadcaster. You know, it's interesting. He basically says like, I like the guy and then basically says, you guys have no leader. Right? Like, because he knows that Hakeem Jeffries is in it. And we all know if you just go through the list of who's left on the Democrat side, you have Pete Buttigieg, who had pronouns in his bio a month ago, or you have the genuine crazies, right? You can go down the AOC Jasmine Crockett route. You can do that. But there is no moderate anymore because as you know, all of the moderates, rfk, Tulsi, et cetera, et cetera, are now moderate Republicans, or I wouldn't even call them that. I don't, I don't know that. Well, Tulsi, I guess, considers herself a Republican. I suppose at this point I don't know that Bobby does, but they are, they're just MAGA people. They just love the country and don't want to poison children and chop their genitals off. Something that the Democrats can't seem to get over. Anyway, the reason I wanted to start with that is I think it illustrates perfectly what we're all seeing right now, which is there is a good group of America loving people coming together who are sane and then there's a bunch of kind of crazy people who are looking for a leader. And I would say crazy people without a leader could be quite dangerous. So we do want to keep an eye on that. So good luck to you. Hakeem Jeffries we will get to more on those crazy people in just a moment, but first, Hillsdale College Discover 40 free online courses from Hillsdale College where you can explore a wide range of subjects from the works of C.S. lewis and the stories of Genesis to the meaning of the US Constitution and the rise and fall of the Roman Republic and the history of the ancient Christian Church.

Okay, so, you know me, I, I want to focus on the good stuff. And that, that is usually what I'm trying to do around here. And there is so much good stuff happening. And I promise you we will get to it on today's show. But as we are in this transition period where the MAGA movement and the Pro Am America movement is working, it's cooking, it's. There's some energy and juice there, it is worth noting what is happening on the other side, because whether you like it or not, the Democrats will be back one way or another. And if they're not back, even sort of as a big political movement over the next couple years, you gotta worry about what they are gonna do. As I keep saying, like violence is coming, obviously, the constant ramping up of the rhetoric, getting out on the streets, whatever is next. And I'm always worried about the things that I can't think of. It's not the things that I can think of. So here is. And there's a laundry list. You know, it's a short list of kind of decent Democrats. It's a very long list of awful Democrats. This is Washington Congresswoman, you know her, Pramila Jayapal. And here she is. And who does she hate more than anybody right now? It's not the Orange man, believe it or not. It's his kind of autistic, quirky friend. Hey, everybody. It is so good to be with you. Glycerio, I am so proud to see you leading us as you always have with your story, as an organization organizer. And I am here to say that we refuse to let Donald Trump and his unelected billionaire buddy Elon Musk, who conveniently seems to have forgotten that he was an undocumented immigrant as well. I refuse to let them scapegoat and target immigrants. I want to be very clear about something. The only reason they keep doing this is because they want to distract you from the fact that they are stealing your taxpayer dollars, your benefits, your programs, so they can give a four and a half trillion dollar tax cut to the billionaires. They want you to blame immigrants. They want you to criminalize immigrants. We need to focus on the greedy billionaires and make them pay their fair share. Ugly woman. Look, there's a couple of things there. First off, standing there behind a sign that says tax the greedy billionaires. I'm not a billionaire. I'd like, to be a billionaire. It'd be pretty cool. Have my own plane, couple houses. Hey, you want to go to Bora Bora this weekend? What do you want to do? Like, that would be pretty awesome, I think. But what they hate is success. They hate anyone who has more than they have. And this is really where you have to point to Bernie Sanders, sort of from a cultural perspective in America. He is the one that put the rocket fuel on class warfare here. Oh, that person. He used to say millionaires, right? It used to be 20 years ago, if you watch all the videos of Bernie, tax the millionaires, come for the millionaires. Then he became a millionaire, and suddenly he was upset about the billionaires. But this idea of class warfare, that those people have more. So if we could just take more from them and give it to those. To these people, it's deeply dangerous. It will make you angry and it will make you hateful and vengeful, and God knows what you would do to people. I don't know. You might put on a mask and walk down New York City and shoot a health care executive in the back of the head. You might do that. Right? That happened. It's just also so thin. Think about all of the waste that we're finding now with Doge. The billions and billions of dollars. Basically, at last I heard, as of last week, it was $50 billion a day of waste that they are cutting right now. Like, we actually might get to a balanced budget this year because of Doge. And instead of focusing on that, how great that is, what they're basically focused on is, oh, no, the government still needs more of your money. It's also also interesting because they're like, the billionaires are stealing your money. No, you want to steal the money from them. We can have some conversation about taxes again. You know, I just did this debate. If you haven't seen it, it's on. It's on YouTube and rumble right now. I did this debate with the number. I guess he's the number one socialist right now in the uk. This guy. What's his name? What was his name? Chris Stevenson or something? Or Gary Stevenson. Yeah. And he was just so freaking unimpressive. His whole thing was exactly what Jayapal laid out there. Tax the billionaires. Tax the billionaires. And I kept asking, well, how much is enough? And of course, he has no number. I also asked him if he donates even 1% of his money, he's a millionaire. He does not. Well, he refused to answer the question, which I think was the answer. But the point is, you can always. We can all always do it. And taking from someone else to do with their money what you want, that's not virtue. Right? That's the twisted. That's the really sort of existential, twisted issue that they're doing on everybody right now. Oh, you're such a good person because you'll take something that's not yours and give it to somebody else. What a good person you are. By the way, when they tell you that Elon Musk did not pay taxes in 2021, that's the last time we could get a record. Real quick. He paid $11 billion, which is the most in human history. But if you think that Jayapal didn't have a great critique of Elon Musk, we have a. I would say a less. Even less nuanced critique of Elon Musk by Jasmine Crockett. If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say? Oh, you know what? I just retract everything I just said, everything that I've said about Elon for the last year. Yeah. He bought Twitter to open up free speech. Yeah. He's sending us to Mars. He's digging the tunnels underground. He's got paraplegics playing chess with their mind and all that stuff. But could you play it again? Because maybe it was pretty good. It was pretty good. If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say? And congratulations, Democrats. That's what you've got. That's what you've got left. That's all you've got. You've got your fake eyelashes and f off. That's it. There's nothing left. Because you purged people like Elon. You could have had people like Elon. Why don't we have our own Joe Rogan? You had Joe Rogan. You purged him. Why don't you have your own Dave Rubin? You could have had him. You could have had Stephen A. You could have had Bobby Kennedy. You could have had Tulsi Gabbard. But basically you've got fuck off and fake eyelashes and class warfare and Timu Obama. That is a depressing group of people. Like, if you showed up for vacation, you went to, like, an adults only resort and you saw that crew, like, at the, you know, on the beach next to you, you'd be like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We are shifting resorts now. We're gonna squeeze a little bit out of that Joy Reid, too. There's just almost nothing. Disgusting. It's disgusting. There's Almost nothing left. But of course, what sort of frames everything that the Democrats do, whether they're going after the billionaires or they're telling you that America's racist and everything else is race, right? It's all always about race. So as we say goodbye slowly to Joy Reid this week, here's just a little compilation of her obsessing over race. So when you wonder why she got fired and no one was watching the show, in case someone comes you and says, you know, you watch that Dave Rubin and he's too critical of that Joy Reid, will you show them this? The race lady? Why would he call me that? Is this really about me fixating on race or is it about you fixating on race? But Donald Trump wants to never let black and brown folk up off the mat. Evident what they mean by dei, right? Why don't just say what you mean. You can't stand black people. We get it. You've been heard. Are you committed to naming a black woman as your vice presidential running mate? They wanted to go after the brown people too, because of course, that is their other target. Do you feel joy? Say Joy. Not fashionable to be openly racist anymore in America. Unlike what they call the good old days, only the white Christian men may have the things. So you own everything that happens to your mixed status families and to your wives, sisters and Abuela's Joy, if you are black, plus anything else, you are black. Violent white nationalism that today threatens our national security. Do you realize that that woman was being paid $3 million a year by a giant corpor spread that racism, that hate, and enough people woke up to it. And thank God for the online media that we could expose a grifting racist like her so that you know what? She doesn't have the gig anymore. And it's just the worth of the chair, right? Someone else will sit in that chair and get marginal ratings just like her because you can't. Because American people are not stupid. They prey on the stupid. But people, over time, they see the truth and they have just had it with this nonsense. So we are almost done squeezing the tube that is Joy Reid.

Okay, so I mentioned two weeks or so ago that the, the, you know, there's the Trump effect, there's Trump 2.0 and all that, but what the, the framing that I like around it is just calling it the shift. There is just a massive cultural shift happening. So it's not just the political stuff, it's the media stuff. We're going to get to some of it as it pertains to entertainment. I mean, we're all, we're all feeling this transitional period right now. And the question is, what happens on the other side? Do we, does it continue to go well and we get to that golden age, or are the bad actors able to kind of retard us back into the other thing? There, I said it. Caroline Levitt, who's doing just an incredible job over at the White House right now, she's White House Press secretary, obviously, she announced yesterday that the White House Correspondents association is no longer gonna control who has access to the briefings. Now, this is a group of people who have decided that the usual suspects, the people who have lied about almost everything, whether it's the AP or Reuters, et cetera, et ceter, that they will always get that first access to the President, to the spokespeople, et cetera. And because we are in this transitional phase, trans, not the bad kind of trans, like a transitional phase of change, that the online media is here, that there are people who are at least aiming towards the truth as opposed to just endlessly offering up prob to nonsense like they do on cnn, msnbc, et cetera, that this is all changing. And it's changing right now. As you all know, for decades, a group of D.C. based journalists, the White House Correspondents association, has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of the President of the United States in these most intimate spaces. Not anymore. I am proud to announce that we are going to give the power back to the people who read your papers, who watch your television shows and who listen to your radio stations. Moving forward The White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team. Legacy outlets who have participated in the press pool for decades will still be allowed to join. Fear not. But we will also be offering the privilege to, well, deserving outlets who have never been allowed to share in this awesome responsibility. Okay, so did you get that? They're not necessarily kicking everybody out. They're just bringing in new people. They're looking for new avenues. And obvious, this is late, this is late to the game stuff, right? The Biden people could have done this. Now, of course they weren't going to do it because they had that very controlled atmosphere that they wanted, but this is good. And she goes out of her way to say, we're not booting all of you guys. We're just opening up the press pool here. Now, you might be watching that and going, well, well, well. Is it true that the White House Correspondents association is so bad? Have they really been so terrible? Connor, do we have video over there of the current president of the White House Correspondents Association? We do. You could play it. She has a hard time running against Vice President Harris because she's a black woman. You remember actually when he would tussle with the women that would ask him questions. Our colleagues on the White House beat reporters, reporters. You know, he held his kind of most angry self for black women, right. If they asked him a question, he would have the worst things to say about them. So you're seeing that, right? When you three. Off the top of our head. Off the top of our head. And when he talked about Joe Biden got worse. Harris was born like that, right? That's different. That's a dog whistle to folks to say, the white guy just got older and it got worse, but the black lady was born dumb. That is the kind of thing that Donald Trump is saying and selling to folks. So that black chick right there, she has been the president of the White House correspondence and says, all right, it's a dude. It's a dude. I thought it was just a chick with a little bit of too much testosterone, whatever. It might be that person right there, Eugene Daniels, the current president of the White House Correspondents Association. Well, we've got some news on him. Slash her. Eugene Daniels. I love that outfit. Look at that. Is that just gorgeous? Eugene Daniels, the president of the White House Correspondents association, is leaving Politico and joining MSNBC to co host a weekend roundtable show. Do you guys get the circle jerk? Do you get it? Do you get what it is? So the White House Press conference. The person is now leaving Politico. Do you think that there was maybe some weird collusion and some somehow USAID was funding Politico. Now he's leaving Politico to go over to MSNBC to pretend that he's a journalist when obviously he's an actress. Do you get it? Do you get it? The man filled with jelly. You know who I'm talking about? Brian Stelter. Here he is. He's very upset that the White House is going to be changing the credentials and talking to other people because jelly guy wants more jelly. The reality is that the daily grind of covering the White House is expensive and demanding, and it's been done by a handful of big news outlets like the Associated Press for decades and decades. So the White House here is trying to break that and trying to say it decides who can cover the President. It decides who can ask questions of the President. As you mentioned, the White House corresponds association response saying this terror is at the independence of a free press in the United States. That is true. And ultimately, when press access suffers, when press freedom suffers, the public suffers. Maybe not right away, but down the line, we start to know less about the president, we start to know less about the administration, and ultimately everyone suffers. All right, Jelly guy, before I destroy your career with the clip in just a second, let me just point out a couple things there. First off, the White House is not deciding who gets to cover the White House. Anyone can cover the White House. You could try doing it yourself, fool. It's just about who is going to immediately get that first access there. But they're not stopping anyone from watching video, seeing what happens at the White House and covering the White House. Okay, that's number one. And also, you're very concerned that the White House is gonna decide who asks questions. Do you remember this old man, Joe Biden, who was president for four years, and he obviously had dementia or some other cognitive disability, and he would walk up there and he'd have little note cards and it would quite literally say, oh, talk to that person. And here's the question in advance. And it would say what they were wearing, and it would say whether they were a male or a female or a whole bunch of other stuff. You had no problem with that? I'm pretty sure they were doing a little prepackaged kayfabe right there, and you didn't have a problem with that. But now let's destroy Brian Stelter's quote unquote career. Here is Stelter in 2021, and he had a slightly different position when it came to whether Fox should be removed from the White House press briefings. There are, you know, these questions about foxes as Fox radicalizes and as it becomes even more and more of a political tool. Zuroic, you wrote a column recently for the sun about this saying Fox should be viewed as a political tool. And that raises a question. Should it be a part of the White House press pool? You know, should it be afforded the privileges that come with news gathering? Even though they do have some news reporters at the White House, you're saying they're primarily a political tool. So should that be reassessed? Zerwick, listen, I really do. I think it's a discussion we need to have. Look, you're not supporting democracy. Shocked and appalled three, four years ago. Yeah, yeah, let's get Fox out of there. Because they're a political tool. But when your political tools are a little on the back foot, right, when the guys who are pushing all the promote all the propaganda that's going your direction, you don't have a problem with that jelly guy, Jelly bean, jelly man, jelly person. He's just filled with jelly. Like a very. It's like a very soft jelly. A very soft, soft jelly. We'll have more on other things happening in the country in just a moment. But first, 1775 coffee.

So, so far we've talked mostly about the people that are doing things wrong. The liars, et cetera, et cetera. A little bit about the cleanup. Caroline Levitt cleaning it up, Stephen A. Smith calling out the nonsense of the Dems. Okay, so be it. But there is a whole bunch of other good things happening right now. So now we're going to get into like the granular, you know, Doge has been the sort of, the sort of blue chip thing we're all looking at. But there's a lot of other good stuff happening right now. Check out this from Colin Rugg on the Twitter machine breaking the FBI has launched an investigation into former FBI Director James Comey for his honeypot operation targeting Trump in 2016, according to the Washington Times. The announcement comes just days after Cash Patel was sworn in as the new FBI director. As we reported in the Washington Times, the FBI is looking into off the books operations launched in 2015 by Comey. According to a whistleblower, two undercover female FBI employees infiltrated Trump's 2016 campaign to act as honeypots in the intelligence community. A honeypot commonly refers to an undercover operative, usually a woman, who feigns sexual or romantic interest to obtain information from a target, the Washington Times reported. The whistleblower claimed that Comey ordered the investigation and personally directed it. Despite not having a specific crime. The operation was likely a fishing expedition to find a crime against Trump. During a recent interview before the election, Comey was visibly concerned about what Trump would do if reelected. So do you get this? I mean, we are in a time now of transparency, right? You look what Doge is doing and they're posting receipts. Well, we might start seeing that out of some of these other institutions. If it turns out that the head of the FBI basically took a sexy chick and was like, could you get around someone that is around Trump so we can get access to what Trump is doing, find out information, basically find us a crime. Right? And honeypot operations have been used by intelligence agencies all over the world probably since the beginning of time, right? Like you figure out a way to work your way in and sex is a pretty simple way of doing it. But if they were doing that, the FBI was working against the current sitting president of the United States. This was Trump first term. Comey could be in a lot of trouble. We have video of Comey from a little while back. Are you concerned that it may get a test unlike any other if Donald Trump is reelected? I mean, would you think about a second Trump administration? What do you think the implications would be for the FBI? Oh, serious for the Justice Department and the FBI, Because Trump is coming for those institutions. He knows their power. And I think he has regrets that he didn't work hard enough to corrupt them last time. So he's coming for them. And that's a danger for all Americans. He's going to put people in positions in those organizations. He didn't have all stars the last time. He'll have the bottom of the barrel this time. But people who will want to do his will, and that should worry every American. Now, first off, as former FBI director, you'd think that when you're going on these TV shows, you'd try to be somewhat apolitical, right? You would try to show people that what you cared about was the rule of law, not a political party. Comey has gone all in. He's a Democrat operative. That is very obvious also. It's obvious that the reason that he doesn't want Trump looking into what the FBI did is because there probably is something there, right? It kind of feels right. I would wait for evidence. I don't think just y accusation is enough in and of itself. But also what he says there at the end, that, you know, Trump didn't have the greatest people around him. You know, he's got the bottom of the barrel. It's like, oh, Cash Patel, bottom of the barrel. Dan Bongino, bottom of the barrel. Tulsi Gabbard, bottom of the barrel. I think you're gonna find out how deep the barrel is in the not too distant future. My friend Chris Rupo, who's been on many times on the show, he put this out yesterday. I mean, we're just, again, we're in this time of transparency. Things are coming out and we have receipts to prove it. Look at this leak. NSA and CIA officials expressed their desire to have hermaphrodite babies in order to advance trans ideology. An intersex birth would be a great opportunity to raise kids as non binary and let them choose later. The people who run the surveillance state are insane. And Rufo's got more. And these are leaked documents from insider chats that these people are having exclusive nsa, DIA and Navy intel, official libs of TikTok as a effing monster and argue that Ben Shapiro should be expelled from the tribe for constantly spouting hate speech. They also slur Italian Americans as terrible people. This is getting personal. The reason they went after Italian Americans, they were actually talking about Rufo himself, who happens to be Italian. So these are the people in the deep state. These are the people in the agencies that are supposed to make sure that, you know, bad guys aren't coming here and doing terrible things. And what were they mostly doing? They. They were just having weird. Well, they're probably doing a whole bunch of bad stuff, but at the very least having, let's say, strange chats involving sex and racism and a bunch more. The new head of the. Or the new Director of the National Intelligence, of course, is Tulsi Gabbard. She went on Jesse Waters last night, and guess what? Those people no longer have jobs. Good to see you again. Good to see you, too. Not so good to see some of these transgender sex chats among the intel officials. What are we going to do about that? Well, Jesse, what we're going to do has already been done. There are over 100 people from across the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in this. What is really just an egregious violation of trust. What to speak of, like basic rules and standards around professionalism. I put out a directive today that they all will be terminated and their security clearances will be revoked. But the thing here, Jesse, is we got to take a step back because this is just barely scratching the surface when you see what these people were saying. And thanks to Chris Ruffo for putting it all out online. They were brazen in using an NSA platform intended for professional use to conduct this kind of really, really horrific behavior. And they were brazen in doing this because. Because when was the last time anyone was really held accountable? Certainly not over the last four years. Certainly not over the last 10, maybe 20 years. And we look at some of the biggest violations of the American people's trust in the intelligence community. Man, do you see why they really have been going after Tulsi Gabbard for years? Do you see why Hillary Clinton was claiming that Tulsi Gabbard was a Rush asset? This is a woman who only a year ago was being put on a no fly list here in the United States by the previous regime, literally. But the competency there, that line, what we are going to do has already been done. How much more could you possibly ask from a public servant firing all these people, revoking their access and then saying, this is. We just scratched the surface. We are going to get rid of, we are going to expand, expunge all of these people. So it's not just doge going in and finding all of the people that literally don't go to work, that don't check their emails, that are just cashing in off your money. It's now finding the people who are in the guy, you could say gross negligence of their job, who are just kind of generally awful People, God knows what other political positions they were pushing within the departments and everything else. So good, good things are happening. And speaking of good things, they're happening all over the world right now. Check this out from Charlie Kirk. Breaking Ukraine has agreed to President Trump's requested mineral rights deal with the US as compensation for the hundreds of billions of dollars America has invested. Kiev will, will contribute 50% of a future mineral revenue to a joint fund. The deal comes without, without security guarantees. Zelensky heading to the White House for the signing the art of the deal. Guys, this, we, we talked about this earlier in the week, right? This is exactly what if you saw our show on Monday, we played that video of Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying there were negotiations that he personally held with Zelensky about these mineral rights. Right? Ukraine is very mineral rich. If we're going to help Ukraine with security guarantees or with military or with whatever it might be, then is there anything that Ukraine could do for us? Imagine that, having a deal that goes both ways. Wouldn't that be crazy? And Zelensky basically agreed to it with Rubio and then minutes later completely reneged. Well now he's reneged the reneg and we are gonna be in some sort of partnership with Ukraine. So putting aside what anyone else, what you think about Putin or Russia or Ukraine or anything else, if the basic argument is at this point we are going to have something to do with Ukraine, well at least now there's a joint venture. So we have some vested interest, we have a financial interest because these minerals have value. I think that is good. And Scott Jennings, the one sane guy over at cnn, he agrees with me. I'm willing to give the new administration some latitude to try to enact the political will of the people of the United States. And that is, is for this to come to an end. The political will to continue to funding an open ended engagement is draining rapidly. I think you would acknowledge that. And so Trump here is a new broker on the field and has a chance to do something amazing and that is to get these two people to stop fighting. And in that case would bring some stability to the continent of Europe. And you know what he has to say publicly about Russia or Ukraine over the course of time? I guess I'm willing to give them some latitude if the ultimate result is this, this what Pete Hegseth said initially, a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine. Those were his words. The United States strikes a rare earth mineral deal with Ukraine, I would love that. And the governments in Europe decide that they do need to take A little more responsibility for their own national security. If these are the outcomes and the killing stops, they ought to give Donald Trump the Nobel Peace. You know what's great about the truth? It's just easy, right? Like again, Scott's not even really taking a position on whether we should have been in Ukraine or what if Putin's a good guy or a bad guy or anything else. He's basically saying, here's the reality of the situation. And the reality is if we're gonna do anything there, then let's do something with these rare earth minerals. Let's get a little something back to us. Oh, and put a little pressure on the Europeans because Ukraine, it's on that side of the world. It has a little something to do with those people. So the amount of radical change that is happening right now just, just cannot be overstated. And if you would like evidence of that. Donald Trump. This was the first video I saw this morning. I try not to have my phone in bed. It's a, it's a policy we have around here. I try not even to bring it in my room at night. I did have it on the nightstand last night, opened up my phone. The first video I saw this morning was this. It's from Donald Trump on Truth Social. I, I think, I'm not an expert in these things. I think this might be some sort of AI creation. I could be wrong. I don't know. Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump on Gaza Donald Trump to set you free Bringing the light for all to see no more tunnels, no more fear Trump, Gaza is finally here Trump, Gaza Shining bright golden future A brand new life Feast and dance the deal is done Trump gods are number one Trump God's a shining bright golden future A brand new light Feast and dance the deal is done Trump Gaza number one. It's a banger, as the kids say. Yeah, you've got Bibi and Trump sunning outside of the Trump Hotel in Gaza. Look, they are changing the facts on the ground right now. Like, like, sorry, Hamas, sorry, Gazans, you guys decided to have a death cult. You could have had a country. There was not one Jew in Gaza on October 6, 2023. You guys made your choice and sorry, that real estate. Yeah, Trump's gonna, he's actually going to do it. And that is the magic of Trump beyond anything else. He is able to imagine something and then by speaking starts being put into existence. And people know the two state solution is dead, which it was always dead. There was never such thing. There is two states. One is called Israel one is called Jordan, which is majority Palestinian. There was no two states. Anyway, even putting Jordan aside, West bank and Gaza are not connected. So that means it was going to be three states. It was all just always bullshit. And the fact that Trump put that up there and of course he's triggered all of the right people, oh my God, they're going to put up a hotel like, okay, sorry, we really have enjoyed your terror state, but we're just going to try it a little bit differently. Speaking of trying it differently, Trump also yesterday, I mean, this one, this one feels like he just like this is, this is just Trump 101 right here. He has announced a gold card, a $5 million gold card. If you would like to become a citizen of the United States, we're going to be doing something else. It's going to be very, very good. We're going to be be selling a gold card. You have a green card. This is a gold card. We're going to be putting a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges. Plus it's going to be a route to citizenship. And wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card. They'll be wealthy and they'll be successful and they'll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of tax, taxes and employing a lot of people. And we think it's going to be extremely successful. Never been done before or anything like this. But it's something that we're going to be putting out over the next, would you say two weeks? Howard, do you want to say a couple of words about it? So the President said, rather than having this sort of ridiculous EB5 program, we're going to end the EB5 program. We're going to replace it with the trump gold card, which is really a green card. Gold. So that they'll be able to pay $5 million to the US government. They'll have to go through vetting, of course. We're going to make sure they're wonderful, world class global citizens. They can come to America, the President can give them a green card and they can invest in America and we can use that money to reduce our deficit. Why do we give out lotteries of green cards? Why do we give out EB5 for green cards? The President of the United States understands that. The right answer is why don't we eliminate the deficit of the United States of America instead? Guys, how absolutely incredible is all of this, Right? Like, we are so thinking about Things differently to go from that AI Gaza video. But that AI will have a. Is much closer to a positive reality than anything going on in Gaza right now. To go from that to 5 million bucks. So that means that there are people that are worth hundreds of millions and billions of dollars all over the world. They love that. U.S. citizenship. Now, you're going to be, as Howard Lutnick pointed out, head of commerce. You're going to be vetted. They're not just going to let anyone in. Right? And that's. There's going to be people that try to game the system. Will there be bad guys? You know, there are a bunch of. There are a bunch of Hamas billionaires and multi millionaires who live in Qatar. We don't want to let them in. So there's going to be a proper vetting process. But then people who live all over the world who have the dream of sharing in the American dream can come here. Five million bucks. You get in the green card, you're on your way to becoming a citizen. And then, you know, if you have 5 million to get in, that means you have an awful lot of other money. So you're going to bring businesses, you're going to bring employees. There will be more tax revenue. Like, could there be some holes in this thing? And they're going to have to figure it out and they're going to be some secondary problems. Of course there will be, but it's just like a whole new way of thinking of things. And we ran the numbers. Phoenix has a calculator over there. It's one of these. They got buttons on it. It's a whole thing with the division and the multiplication, all that. Right now we have a $35 trillion debt. Debt. Now they're going to sell these cards at 5 mil a pop. That means if we were to bring in 7 million millionaires, and again, you got it, you're gonna have to have over five mil, because you gotta have five mil to get in. You're gonna have to have a whole bunch of other money. But if we bring in 7 million of these people at 5 mil a pop, we knocked out the debt like that. It's just something. It's just something. We are in this transitional, as I said, this shift phase. We are looking at the world in a new way, and it could not come too soon. And as this happens, then corporations also start wanting to be part of this American revival. Check this out. Apple. Apple, you know, Apple. Do you have one of their phones maybe in your pocket right now? Is that how you're watching me at this very moment, they're about to invest 500 bill in the US of a. A trillion dollars. That's the largest ever US spending plan for the world's biggest company economy. And it comes with thousands of new jobs across multiple states. Now, as you mentioned, we knew this was coming as President Trump teased it on Friday. And then Apple CEO Tim Cook was at the White House on Thursday. Apple is spending 50% more this year in 2025 than it did during the first Trump term. So $500 billion over four years this time. Four years, not five years like they usually do. Do 20,000 new jobs. A new AI server factory in Houston, Texas. And that's significant for Apple. It tends to farm out their AI server needs to third party providers like us. Also, you got a new Detroit Academy doubling their research and development fund. Now Apple CEO Tim Cook says we're bullish on the future of American innovation and we're proud to build on our long standing UN US Investments. You see how great this is, guys? We're thinking about things differently. We're, we're supporting capitalism again. We're getting rid of regulation, we're lowering taxes, we're using tariffs as leverage so that we don't get screwed by every other country. And then corporations are coming in and saying we would like to bring more jobs here. We'd like to invest, I don't know, 500 billion and create 20,000 new jobs and start AI centers here and a whole bunch more. And by the way, it's not just, just Apple. This is from Fox investments in the US under President Trump. $14.1 billion bid from Nippon Steel. 20 billion from Hussein Sajwani. 500 billion over four years from Apple. 500 billion over four years from Stargate. 600 billion from Saudi Arabia. So things are loosening up. Competition is back. Ingenuity, innovation is back. It's an energetic and cultural shift that is the direct result of good policy. And now, because we've been very granular in the literal things that are happening on the ground, let's talk about the culture for just a moment because I was very excited to see this, this woman who has destroyed my childhood, wrecked my dreams, made it so that I will not show my children any Star Wars. Well, that's right. You can already see where this is going. Kathleen Kennedy, the Sith Lord. Kathleen Kennedy, who has been running Star wars into the ground for over a decade. She will be stepping down from her role as president of Lucasfilm. Hallelujah. And look for those of you. I'm gonna read a bit from the Daily Wire on this. For those of you that don't care about Star wars, that that's just fine. And they've completely wrecked it. And the last three movies sucked and all the Disney stuff sucks and okay, fine. But Star wars was a cultural touchpad point, right? It was something that created the dreams for generations of young people. And they got, as Jordan Peterson would talk about, they got the hero's journey right in the original movies. And that inspires people to go on their own heroes journeys in their own life. And partly through the cultural rot that we have had over the last 10 or 20 years, we haven't been able to tell good stories because all of that woke evil nonsense that Kathleen Kennedy was a huge part of it. Disney seeped into everything. So our stories weren't even good. And when a society doesn't have good stories, it doesn't know how to. It can't navigate rough waters. So check this out from the Daily Wire. After presiding over the Star wars movies over the last 12 years for Disney, eliciting harsh criticism for the direction the series took under her direction, Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy has announced she will retire at the end of this year. She served as producer for the relaunching of Star wars of the Star wars franchise. Can you go a little faster for me with the films? Star The Force Awakens 2015, which was actually pretty decent. Rogue One A Star Wars Story 2016. Star Last Jedi, Worst movie in the history of all of movies. Solo A Star Wars Star wars story. I fell asleep in that one in the theater. Star Rise of Skywalker 2019. She also was a producer on the Mandalorian. These days the Star wars franchise is a mess of live action con jobs and Mary Sues. And we can all blame Kathleen Kennedy for her significant part in ruining the whole franchise. Kennedy was placed as the head of Lucasfilm by George Lucas to keep Star wars from going off the rails. However, she wanted the Force to be female. After and after taking control of Lucasfilm, she set about manufacturing the template. Utterly humiliate characters people love and replace them with generic, threadbare, overpowered self insert that the audience was supposed to love. You guys may remember this, we talked about this a while ago. I mean, she went out of her way to make Star wars female. Actually it's fine to have a female character and a strong female character and all that, but they actually tried. They decided when Disney took Star wars and Marvel and the idea that one giant corporation would have so much of the lore in a culture is not a great, great concept. Clearly they said, okay, Star wars, we're going to aim that to little girls, and Marvel will aim it to little boys. But you can't manufacture what boys and girls like. And boys still like Star Wars. And it's not to say that no girls do, but you can't force them into liking it. So this woman ruined everything and. And her stepping down. In essence, I have a feeling being forced out is a great cultural touch point that is connected to everything else we've been discussing here. Joel Berry, who's the managing editor of the Babylon Bee, and they know a little something about actually creating fun and interesting things. He wrote this. Kathleen Kennedy's tenure at Lucasfilm shows us what happens when you try to make art out of spite and hatred. Her work over the decade has been little more than performative malice against the western mythos and the men who built it. Just a miserable body of work. And let's just keep having a little fun with this. Have you ever heard of south park animated show over there on Comedy Central? They've been having fun with Kathleen Kennedy for years. Is there a problem, people? We were just discussing ideas of what to do with the new Prince Eric movie. Put a chicken and make her gay. Maybe we should go a different route than we did with Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones. Put a chicken in, make her name it gay. Sure, yeah. Let's try that again. Kathleen Kennedy is down on set right now ruining the new Bambi movie. Diverse women in it. Make it t. Bambi's a baby deer. Baby deer. Put a chicken in, make her gay. We've sent her away to have lunch at Spago. There you are, Ms. Kennedy. The linguini and clam sauce. Excuse me, I believe I asked you to put a chicken this in. Make her gay. Yes, the chef was a little confused what you meant by that. That's good. The point, guys, again, is that now maybe, maybe, I don't know, you know, you can go on YouTube and if you put in Star Wars. I used to do this when I started realizing how terrible Star wars had become. And I still yearned for some interesting Star wars stories. There are people who end up usually in fights with Lucasfilm and fights with Disney and everything else, but there are individual creators who go out there and create much better stories. Maybe Disney will hire a couple of them now and fix some of that stuff. Or maybe we'll start writing new stories. Wouldn't that be novel? And let me connect this to one other thing, because as Things get fixed at the federal level as it gets fixed up here. And I think this show has been a perfect illustration of how quickly it's happening. And it's wonderful and spectacular despite what that jelly filled man says. It's also getting fixed on the ground. Now, obviously I'm here in the free state of Florida, which is by far the most functioning state. And that's largely because of Ron DeSantis. Well, he is actually entered his lame duck phase. Now that that's just reality. He's got about two years left, left, can't run again. We'll see what he does and where his career goes. But Byron Donalds, who is, I've interviewed him many times, he is a good guy Congressman from the Fort Myers, southwest Florida area. He will be running for governor of Florida, got the support of President Trump. Where do you stand? Are you ready to make the plunge? Well, look, Sean, after a lot of prayer, a lot of thoughts with my family and my friends, I'm here to announce my candidacy to be the next governor of the great state of Florida. And Sean, we have a wonderful state. I got to Florida when I was 17 years old off of a Greyhound bus with just a trunk full of clothes. And over the rest of my time in Florida, I built a family, I built a career, 17 years in financial services. I joined the Tea Party movement, was in the conservative movement. I was able to serve four years in the state legislature, four years in Congress. And I think now is the time to now take the mantle and lead our state into the future. All right, so this is a guy, he's from Brooklyn just like I am now. He's a proud Floridian and he wants to take the mantle of Florida. I think he would do a bang up job, but there is going to be a fight here. Now, the reason I'm ending this show on this, you know, I'm always happy to talk about Florida is that we started the show by talking about how thin the Democrat bench is. Right? There's just, there's just nobody left. You've got Hakeem, you've got. Who is the guy that I have Ro Khanna, who I had on like again, nice enough guy when I sat there with him, but just thin ideas and they're the moderates in the party. Then you have the true whack jobs. There's just nothing left there. Well, here in Florida, where we have a functional place, we're gonna have a real battle for who's going to be governor. And it sounds like Casey DeSantis. Ron DeSantis wife first lady of Florida that she's gonna get in as well. This is not an announcement by her, but here's just a little bit of video from her. While we are leading here in the state of Florida, I would say, and this is true, even with a Republican supermajority and the goat in the governor's office, none of this here runs on autopilot. The winds in Florida and frankly, the sanity and the freedom that we enjoy in the free state of Florida unfortunately are not guaranteed in perpetuity with the left and the special interests wanting to impose their will, especially like usurping the legislature and perverting our state constitutional amendment process, which you recently saw or squishes, wanting to go Republican light. By continuing to spend on massive boondoggles and not implementing the will of the people, Florida could very easily revert back to a purple state. So what's the moral of the story? You have to lead. You have to have courage. You have to show that our way works. You enact bold policy and you hold yourself accountable. Because if we do this, we will continue to be a model for the nation. We will be a beacon of hope for the world, and we will continue to stay the free state of Florida. Thank you, Dr. Atlas, for the opportunity. So, look, we'll see if she gets in. But the point is that in a, in a place where it's working, in a time when things are starting to work more, we're going to have good people. Like, what a great fight. Fight that I'll have to, I suppose, be in the middle of and interview both of them and eventually decide who, who I'd want to support in the rest of it. But what a great fight. Like, obviously Byron Donalds is qualified to be governor, obviously Casey is qualified to be governor. Obviously they're both solid people with good track records and love this state and don't want to turn it back into purple or God forbid, blue. But that's the point when, when you have a good idea set your bench, starts getting thick and then you can have good political fights like we've had. If you just, if you look back at this last national election, we had basically the dumbest political fight you could have happened and it could have gone the wrong way. Well, now as things get better, we'll have good political fights and then the founders who are looking down on us right now will look down and go, that's the type of fight we wanted to have. Wow. People who love the Constitution, who love the country, who understand states rights who understand understand individual rights. They're battling it out. And that's just a normal political fight in a functioning society. So we shall see what happens with all of that. Guys, if you haven't seen any of my arc interviews, they are rolling out right now. Carl Benjamin AKA Sargon of Akkad, he was kind of the original classical liberal on YouTube many years ago as I was doing my wake up, that's up right now. Member of Polish parliament who's like. He's kind of like the Trump of Poland in some sense. Dominic Tarchinsky. That interview is up right now. And then this weekend we got a bananas lineup for you. Friday we've got Megyn Kelly on so that'll be our 11am show. And then Saturday we've got Peter Thiel and Sunday Jordan Peterson. No other way. Saturday, Jordan Peterson. Sunday Peter Thiel.
