Hey, what's up, guys? I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Reuben report. It is July 14, 2025. Hope you had a great weekend. We are back at it live streaming on rumble, YouTube and locals. And as you know, we are looking to crush those subscriber numbers by the time I go off the grid. So take a moment right now. Connor, do you have the elevator music ready to play if I was to sit here for six seconds quietly right now and click that button. All right, thank you for subscribing. I only gave you three seconds of it because you're already subscribed and you're quick and on your feet. We got a lot to catch up on, obviously a bunch of this Epstein stuff. And really what I want to focus on more so is, is the stuff that's happening within the administration as it relates to some of the infighting there. Mostly what seems to be going on between Pam Bondi, Attorney General, and Dan Bongino and Dan, who I know. So I trust as much as I can trust someone that I know in this space. So I'll try to offer a little bit of clarity on some of that kind of stuff. Then there's some ICE raids in California and there's nothing the Democrats love more than illegals, especially illegal children who, who are picking marijuana. We'll talk a little bit about crazy Democrats blaming everything on climate change and then Trump's legacy, which despite a little bit of the craziness going on at the moment, I think is standing strong. But you know, over the weekend, it was a major, major anniversary. And if you wanna, I'm always talking about how it just seems to me at least maybe it's something about middle age. At 49 years old, the world just gets faster and faster. Maybe it's about having kids. I don't know exactly what it is, but the year and the time, everything seems fast to me these days. And it was only actually a year and a day ago that Donald Trump was almost assassinated when he was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania at that rally. And yesterday was the one year anniversary. And I just want to focus on that for just a moment. So, of course, here's a little bit of the video of the actual shooting.
Connor
And you know, that's a little bit old, that chart. That chart's a couple of months old. And if you want to really see something that said take a look at what happened.
Dave Rubin
Wait, wait, wait, wait. I mean, it's really incredible. I don't know how many times I've seen that. 500 times at this point and you still get chills down your spine and just. And I remember, and as I'm sure you do too, I will never forget where I was when I saw that. We were online, checking out at Target, we were buying an air fryer and I saw that and just the heart sunk and all that. And thank God he was okay in that magical moment. I mean, that he says, wait, wait, and fight, fight, fight. And that he had the wherewithal to put his shoes back on. And then really that kind of re. Energized everything. That was the moment, by the way. I think it was later that day or the next day that Elon officially supported Trump. I mean, it really. Those were the shots heard around the world. And it changed the course of human history because it added rocket fuel. It was a potentially unimaginable human tragedy that was about to occur that could have ripped this country in half. And it turned into the thing that saved the country. God works in mysterious ways, doesn't he? Anyway, on the one year anniversary of that, I thought this was beautiful. And it just goes to show that time heals all wounds, pun, I suppose, intended. On the one year anniversary of Trump being shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, here he is celebrating with the Chelsea soccer, or some people call it football team after they won the FIFA World Cup. I mean, look at the smile, the happiness on his face. It's just great. And look at these two images next to each other. I thought this was quite a good little comparison. One year ago, blood dripping down his face, being held by Secret Service. And then a year later to the day, the smile, the joy, FIFA World cup and all of that. And I just wanted to focus on one other thing and then we'll move on to the daily stories, which is that so much of what has happened as it relates to Trump and all the things that we've learned over the last decade and everything else are connected to the abject failure of the mainstream media. So look at a collection of headlines from one year ago when Donald Trump was shot. This is cnn, NBC, msnbc, et cetera. Trump falls at rally injured in incident. Loud noises startle former president Popping noises, gunshot like sounds and it's like, no, guys, we will not forget. But thank God Trump survived. Thank God Donald Trump became President of the United States. And that brings us to now some of the craziness around some of the things happening at the administration. Over the weekend. Turning Point USA had their big annual conference and one of the things that repeatedly got brought up by multiple people that were panelists or speakers was this Epstein situation and that there's a. That's what seems to be happening at the moment is that Pam Bondi is in hot water. She's the Attorney General. She's the one that, as we've played the clip a million times, so we're not going to play it today. She's the one that months ago said she has the Epstein files on her desk and the implication was they're going to go through them and then they will release something. Now, it has come out that that is not the case. Did she misspeak when she said files? What did that actually mean? Does it mean flight logs? Did it mean videos? Anyway, it sounds like she over promised and that's causing a lot of problems with the base. So here's Megyn Kelly at Turning Point going off on Bondi and also questioning how did this story get leaked to Axios. Take a look.
Megyn Kelly
So President Trump should be getting the Nobel Peace Prize, and there's all sorts of things he's focused on. I just don't think this has captured his attention quite yet. But it needs to because it's starting to create a real hornet's nest within the administration. And I've got to be honest, I blame Pam Bondi. I'll tell you why. Okay. I have nothing. Yes. Incompetence. Yes. I have nothing against Pam Bondi as a human being. I was fine with her nomination and her confirmation. And she's been loyal to the president. And I get that President Trump needs a loyal Attorney General. It's, it's also true that Dan Bongino and Cash Patel had questions about Epstein before they took office. Okay. Before they went to the FBI. But once they joined the FBI, they said nothing. They've kept their mouths shut about Epstein. You have not seen them except for one joint appearance with Dan and Cash on Fox, running all over the media looking for attention on this. Yes. Clickbaity story. Who have you seen Pam Bondi. She has never missed an opportunity to go on television and dangle sweet nothings that might be coming your way. Try to lead you to believe that she's got it. It's on her desk. It's coming tomorrow. You're going to see something on Epsom and it was a tease. So you either believe that Pam Bondi was telling the truth then or that she's telling the truth now. But both cannot be true. She was either lying when she went on Fox News all those times saying, I've got it, I've got it. We're Looking at it. Wait until you see it. It's horrible. Or she's lying in her two page memo that they released on a Sunday night at the tail end of a holiday weekend to Axios. As if Axios is where we all go for our news. Hell no. She went to someone she knew would not kick the tires on the story and without signing the memo dropped it in the dead of night and said, that's it. Take it. Take the crumbs and be happy.
Dave Rubin
Okay, so I wanna expand a little bit on one thing that Meghan. So Megan, I trust Megan also, and I like Megan a lot. And I think she explained that thing quite well. I would add one thing. She says that she. That Pam Bondi was either lying then or now. I'm not totally sure it was lying by Pam Bondi as opposed to maybe just over promising. Right. Which is a different thing. Like she had these files on her desk. Again, we don't know what she meant by that. Literally, do you mean you have a file on your desk like this and it's filled with all sorts of stuff and links to all sorts of things? Do you have all the hard drive? Like, we just don't know exactly what she meant. Either way, Pam Bondi either was telling the truth that she had these things on her desk and she was gonna release them and now she's not. So now she's lying or she over promised or was confused or something like that. But the point of all of leads to that, if any. And also, why did it get leaked to Axios of all places? Right. Axios is just another. It's just another website that exists now and won't exist in a couple years. Like it's just like a Politico type thing. So why did it get leaked there and on a Sunday? So it all just kind of feels weird. For sure. Now is where it gets interesting because to me the interesting thing is the fight that's happening within the administration. As I've said a million times, these are good people. I don't know Pam, but like I know enough of the people in the administration. And whether I know them or not, the work aside or the work not aside, the work itself is proof that these people are good. They've been doing good things. So here's Megan talking about the fight that has erupted between Dan and Kash Patel on one side basically versus Bondi on the other side. Take a look.
Megyn Kelly
And so now you have a situation where her words on the record on Fox News are diametrically opposed to what she put in this memo, she's embarrassed the President. She's embarrassed herself and Dan and Cash to the extent they've had to sign off on that. Let's understand the FBI is controlled by the doj. FBI is subservient to doj. She's their boss. That they're in this position where the only comments they've made on the record as administration officials have been, we don't think he killed himself and we don't think he got murdered. We think he did kill himself. We've looked at the tapes and cash to Joe Rogan saying, if I saw all these tapes of Jeffrey Epstein with little girls, trust me, I would show you, but I haven't seen it. Okay? So what they're saying now is consistent with what they've said since they joined the office. And that is one of the many reasons why this scandal is squarely on her. And I'm telling you, I'm of the cable news universe. I've seen it happen a million times. People get thirsty. They love to see themselves on television. They love to see their names in the klieg lights. They love the attention. They love the little emails and texts and tweets and thumbs up they get after their appearance. And they can feel their star rising. And listen, internally, I'm told there's a bit of, like, a power struggle between Pam Bondi and another female administration official on who's gonna be the top dog.
Dave Rubin
First off, as a sidebar, Charlie, ease up on the nicotine. You look like a drug addict with all the chewing. But that aside, okay, what she said there was, right? So there's this tension. We now, we. This is one of 100% for sure. There's a lot of conjecture around all of this, but we know that there seems to be mass tension now between Bongino and Cash and Pam Bondi because either she lied or she overpromised or she was confused or something. So now let's get you caught up on that. This is from a couple days ago on the Daily Wire. Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, is threatening to leave the bureau if Attorney General Pam Bondi remains on the job. A source close to Bongino tells the Daily Wire. Bongino's reportedly furious with Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, which has led many to believe he could walk away from the job that he took in February. The source close to Bongino said that he's effectively issued an ultimatum saying he won't work alongside Bondi the rift between Bongino and Bondi intensified on Wednesday, days after the Department of Justice announced there was no evidence to prove that child rapist Jeffrey Epstein had a client list, had blackmailed powerful people, or had been murdered. Bondi had promised to reveal major details in the case five months ago, when there were no massive revelations to bring forward. A source close to the Justice Department told the Daily Wire that Patel also wants Bondi gone and that he would consider departing alongside Bongino. The source also said that Patel wanted Bondi to unseal more documents. Now Bongino is considering sending in his resignation over the fallout with Bondi. While it remains unclear if Bongino will step down, his normally active official social media account has been quiet since Wednesday, when his frustration with Bondi reportedly boiled over. One source close to Bongino predicted to Axios, he ain't coming back. Trump administration officials, however, are saying that Bongino remains on the job. Okay, since I've said a couple times that I, I know Dan, I've worked with Dan. When I created Locals, Dan had, was one of the park creators of Rumble. So we had to work together on that merger. We've done other things like Dan, Dan is a good guy and a forthright guy and everything else. So I can only speak to the fact that I know him to be that. So what it sounds like is Dan Bongino is pissed because either he feels that she completely bungled this meaning over promised or didn't know what was on her desk, or she is lying. Now, it might be possible that she ended up getting all of these files on her desk again, whatever that means by files. And it turned out they didn't have like a smoking gun. They were like, oh, we have these flight logs, but we can't match it with any video. Like we just, just don't know. But I can tell you as much as I trust anyone in this business that I've had any connection with, Dan seems to me to be an upstanding guy. Now let's jump back. And by the way, Dan also gave up a multi million dollar a year job. I'm guessing he had basically the biggest podcast in the entire space. He might have been making 10 mil a year on that thing. And he gave up that daily gig to get a marginal job in the government, right? You're paid, I don't know, 150 grand, something like that. I know that's a perfectly nice salary, but he gave up major, major stuff to do that, right? That's what a selfless person does to help the country. Here's Dan Bongino on his radio show back in 2023 talking about the Epstein files.
Connor
Listen, that Jeffrey Epstein story is a big deal. Please do not let that story go. Keep your eye on this. Katherine Rummler, I want you. We need to keep the heat on this case, folks. There are a lot of people who are knee deep in the Washington swamp who are not telling you the truth about serious allegations out there that Epstein may have had video and audio of people out there doing things they shouldn't have been doing. And you should be asking yourself the question, how is it that all these people, the CIA director, the Obama fixer, Bill Clinton all intersected past with Jeffrey Epstein? Jeffrey Epstein isn't with us anymore and nobody seems to want to talk about it outside of a few entrepreneurial media outlets saying, hey, this is a big deal.
Dave Rubin
Okay, so that's worth noting. That's Bongino back in 23. This is huge. Now he says they're serious allegations he says may have video. He doesn't say I have a smoking gun. He doesn't say I have evidence. But he's saying basically, there's enough smoke around here. Why is Bill Clinton on these planes? Why is Bill Gates on these planes? We also know that Giselle or Ghislaine Maxwell is in jail for these very same crimes. So that's him two years ago. Now, I want to show you this video. This is from 5-18-25. Okay, so this is from only two months ago, basically. And here he is after. Apparently he had seen evidence or lack thereof. Now take a look.
Connor
You know what? Maria Cash is not kidding. We have been personally briefed extensively on every single detail, nugget, tendril of this case. One is actively in court right now. So out of respect for the case, it's probably more appropriate that I stay quiet on that. However, I'm not going to tell people.
Dave Rubin
What they want to hear.
Connor
I'm going to tell you the truth. And whether. Whether you like it or not is up to you. If there was a big explosive there, there.
Dave Rubin
Right.
Connor
Given my history as a Secret Service agent and my personal friendship as a director does with the President, give me one logical, sensible reason we would not have. If you can think of one. There isn't there isn't there. In some of these cases, the there you're looking for is not there. And I know people, I get it. I understand it's not there. If it was there, we would have told.
Dave Rubin
Okay, so that's where we're at. That's Bongino two months ago saying, we've seen everything. I'm gonna tell you the truth now. I believe Dan. I just do. So the only counter to that, he's saying there's no there there, meaning we've got all of this stuff, we've seen everything. We just don't have the thing that ties it together. Is there no actual direct evidence? Like maybe they don't have a video that imp Bill Clinton in actually doing anything. They have flight logs with disconnected videos that Epstein downloaded or whatever. But the question really is at the moment is are we to believe? Like, is what I'm supposed to do up here as someone that's trying to make sense of this just the way you are is tell you, boy, I think they got to Dan Bongino. They magically got to Dan Bongino and they got to Patel and they got to Pam Bondi, and they got to. To Donald Trump. Or is it possible, as he says, what you want to hear actually isn't the thing we have evidence of, meaning we don't have evidence of it. And that really is the problem. That seems to me to be where we're at at the moment. Now, I will add one other thing, which is it's kind of interesting. So there two months ago, you have him saying the evidence isn't there. Like we just don't have it. And yet he's now pissed at Bondi for over promising. So there is. That also does feel kind of right that two months ago you've got him saying, hey, we don't have evidence. But she was the one over promising, so you could see why he would be angry at her. Anyway, Trump then put this on Truth Social because he does see what, what Megan pointed out, which is that there is a hornet's nest kind of buzzing right now. Trump wrote this, what's going on with my boys? And in some cases gals, they're all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who's doing a fantastic job. We're one team maga and I don't like what's happening. We have a perfect administration, the talk of the world, and selfish people are trying to hurt it all over a guy who never dies. Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it's Epstein over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to files written by Obama, crooked Hillary, Comey Brennan, and the losers and criminals of the Biden administration who con the world with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, 51 intelligence agents, the laptop from hell, and more. They created the Epstein files just like they created the fake Hillary Clinton Christopher Steele dossier they used on me. And now my so called friends are playing right into their hands. Why didn't these radical left lunatics release the Epstein files? If there was anything in there that could ever hurt the MAGA movement, why didn't they use it? They haven't given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King Jr. Files. No matter how much success we've had securing the border, deporting criminals, fixing the economy, energy dominance of a safer world, while Iran will not have nuclear weapons, it's never enough for some people. We're about to achieve more in six months than any other administration has achieved in over 100 years. And we have so much more to do. We are saving our country and making America great again, which will continue to be our complete priority. The left is imploding Cash Patel and the FBI must be focused on investigating voter fraud, political corruption, Act Blue, the rigged and stolen election of 2020 and arresting thugs and criminals instead of spending a month, is spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old radical left inspired documents on Jeffrey Epstein. Let Pam Bondi do her job. She's great. The 2020 election was rigged and stolen. They tried to do the same thing in 24. That's what she's looking into as Attorney General and much more. One year ago our country was dead. Now it's the hottest country anywhere in the world. Let's keep it that way and not waste time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Okay, so that's Trump's feeling on it. Like, guys, there's a lot of good stuff we should be focusing on that. You know, my general feeling is we should be focusing on the good things because there's something about human nature that makes us all focus on the bad things. And maybe that's why bad things always happen. But what's more interesting about that, as per the like the under the hood stuff here, is that he is fully backing Pam Bondi. So it seems to me that the next thing that has to happen here is Bondi has to just come out in an interview. She has to sit down with someone, sit down with Brett Baer or someone that you think is friendly and just explain what you meant. If the evidence is not there, then what did you mean by the files are on your desk? What, what did, what do you literally mean by the word files? Was it just flight logs and disconnected things that meant nothing? Because again, I do. I have no reason. And Megan's saying the exact same thing. And it's exactly what Glenn Beck said to me on the show two weeks ago. We have no reason not to trust Dan. So Dan's saying there's nothing there. Fine. But then you have to explain why Bo kind of botched some of this Anyway. Ro Khanna, a Democrat, a rare Democrat who will talk to me. He put this up on X over the weekend. Why are the Epstein files still hidden? Who are the rich and powerful being protected? On Tuesday, I'm introducing an amendment to force a vote demanding the full Epstein files be released to the public. The speaker must call a vote and put every Congress member on record. Now, look, I'll say this like, obviously Khan is being an opportunist there. If he cared about any of this, he could have done it when there was a Democrat president and when they held the House and everything else. So he sees a chance to break some MAGA stuff here and he's going for it. But I think that's perfectly fine. Like if there is something that is being withheld from us that is incriminating against either intelligence agencies or against our political leaders or anything else, we need to know what it is. He's playing a little bit of a political game with it. But we'll see where, where this all goes.
Connor
Right.
Dave Rubin
So again, to recap, you've got Trump backing his attorney general. It also there we didn't show you the video, but apparently Trump did speak to Bongino over the weekend and said he's good. So I suspect we'll have Bongino back this weekend. But anyway, it's a messaging problem that they've gotta clean up a little bit and we shall see what happens. Let's talk about Gold Co for a minute and then we will have a bit on the children of California who are working at the pot farms. Guys, did you know that Florida just legalized gold and silver as money? Yeah, that's right. The free state of Florida, my home state, recognizes gold and silver now as legal tender. Governor DeSantis put it best this is about giving you the financial freedom to protect yourself against the declining dollar. With inflation, national debt soaring and even US Credit downgrade, it's no wonder people are waking up. That's why I've partnered with Gold Co, a top tier precious metals company I trust. Want to protect your savings? Visit davelikesgold.com to get your free 20 gold and silver kit. Once again, that's davelikesgold.com you know, every now and again a story comes across my desk. I sit in this room all day long, even over the weekend. And this is where I have all my meals and I do all my things and sometimes something just slides across my desk and I look at it and I say, my God, that's the perfect story because it so airtightly locks together everything I'm talking about all the time. Well, we got one of them this morning because it involves California, it involves illegals, it involves the media, it involves evil. Gavin Newsom and a whole bunch more. Listen to this from Fox 12 Oregon. Cherry farmer in Dallas. Oh, no, sorry. Cherry farmer in the Dales, not the Dallas. We checked that this morning. Says ICE raid fears costing him workforce and profits. So, okay, a cherry farmer is upset because his workforce, which obviously is illegal, is disappearing because either ICE is catching them or they're afraid of going because ICE is going to get them. So he's losing his workforce and profits. Okay, that's an interesting story to start with. Now I would like to read a tweet from Senator Alex Padilla. This is a man who you remember just a few weeks ago was crying at Congress because he tried to assault Kirsty Noem. And he was knocked on the floor. And then he said, anyway, listen to this. Fruit is rotting on branches because the very people we depend on to harvest it are too afraid to go to work. This is the real impact of Trump's immigration raids. Fear in our fields, crops left to waste, and a direct blow to America's farms. He promised to go after criminals. Instead, he's targeting the essential workers who put food on our tables and crippling the agricultural industry in the process. It's so interesting to use the phrase essential workers because remember how so many of us were non essential during COVID but these guys are essential now. Of course, you get it already. First off, I haven't seen any video of fruit rotting. I have not seen any video. He didn't post any video of it or even a picture. That's number one. Number two, it's interesting that they admit the quiet part, which is they want a perpetual class of indentured servitude illegals who will work for less money and accept poorer treatment at the workplace than legals who would be bound by the laws of the United States of America. So it's incredibly interesting that the Democrats now openly admit that if you don't let these people here to work for less wages in less safe environments, then the economy is going to crash. And then, of course, as you know, what happens? Well, you let the illegals here, you then give them things as Democrats and congrats, as Elon and many have pointed out, you are literally importing a new voter base who will be stuck and dependent on you. Here's CNN's Dana Bash. I'm always very curious about this woman who has the emotional range of, I don't know, a chipmunk. Here she is asking Padilla if Democrat rhetoric has increased violence towards ice. Good question, Dana, but let's see if he's honest about his answer.
Megyn Kelly
Some of the unrest that's happening in and around the ICE agents as well. Officials are looking for a suspect who appeared to fire a gun at a federal agent during a raid. A few days before that, 10 people were arrested after opening fire outside an immigration detention facility in Texas, injuring a police officer. Authorities say it was a planned ambush. Earlier this week, a man with a rifle and tactical gear was shot dead after firing at Texas, Texas Border Patrol, at least the facility. Are you worried that heated rhetoric around this and around the policies are actually putting law enforcement agents at risk?
Connor
First, let me just denounce any violence. Any violence against law enforcement is unacceptable. Do I think heated rhetoric is, you know, part of what's causing this response? Sadly, yes. And we've seen this administration escalate and escalate and escalate in all ways and matters.
Dave Rubin
It's incredible what they do. You got to admire it. Again. So does the heated rhetoric cause a problem? Yes, I condemn all violence. And then what does he do? The heated rhetoric is coming from Trump. The heated rhetoric is not coming from Trump. The heated rhetoric is coming from the woman who looks like a catcher's mitt. It's coming from Gavin Newsom. It's coming from Ilhan Omar and AOC and Rashida and all of the Democrats. And Chuck Schumer. It's literally coming. And Bernie Sanders, all of the Democrats, when they are demanding that ICE take their masks off, when we know that they tacitly and implicitly, I would say, endorse violence and they want these people to be doxed and everything else. It's coming from your side. Who are the ones taking over the streets? Who are the ones that burn down cities? It is the Democrats. So, Dana, I'll give you a little credit there. You kinda asked the right question. I know you gotta do it every now and again so it doesn't seem like you're such an obvious Democrat Op. But of course, his answer was a complete lie. Here is Gavin Newsom on the ICE agents. The masks part is just outrageous.
Connor
It's insane. Now, look, I get. I'm sensitive as a former mayor, as an executive, this notion of safety in certain circumstances, when you have a warrant, you present an id. There's issues around safety of officers and where it may be appropriate. But now it's universal. Masking Corps, National Guard were out there in MacArthur Park. They were heroes a few weeks ago, 2500, to be exact, that were part of the wildfire recovery. They were being celebrated. People doing selfies because they were so grateful. These same men and women masked up. They're being humiliated and used as pawns for theater. So we have a bill. We're looking at the Constitution.
Dave Rubin
Before we analyze Gavin Newsom and his lies, can we just go back for a second? There's 12 seconds of it. Can someone explain?
Connor
I'm sensitive as a former mayor, as an executive, this notion of safety. I'm sensitive as a former mayor, as an executive, this notion of safety. I'm sensitive as a.
Dave Rubin
What is wrong with Gavin Newsom? Is it, as we pointed out in the cold open, that the lizard that lives inside him, that's in the humanoid skin suit, is actually trying. Trying to break free? There's something wrong with him. My guess is it's drug use, and I think we'll probably find out one day. Now, as per whatever he said, it's not. It's barely worth analyzing other than to say that if it wasn't for the rhetoric that you guys have ramped up around these people, then they probably wouldn't need to wear masks. But because we know you guys are okay with violence, and we know you're okay with doxing and everything else, they actually have to protect themselves. Now, as I said the other day, it's like, if you want. I don't know what the official policy is. We'll check on this. I have no problem if they're gonna mask themselves. I have no problem with that, by the way. You have no problem with people who are calling for genocide masking themselves and burning down courthouses. Okay? But irony aside, if they're gonna mask themselves, yeah. They should have some sort of badge or something with a number on it so there's something identifiable about them. I agree with that. I don't want guys just showing up in hoodies and masks and announcing that they're ICE and taking people, because then you have no idea if they're real. So we'll try to unpack that a little bit more. But as you know, these guys aren't debating in good faith, but we'll do the best we can to find out about that. Anyway, take a look at what happened. As I said, this was the perfect story that exploded over the weekend. So I want you to show this image of mainstream media headlines all talking about ICE raiding a California farm. And it sounds very scary here. Federal agents clash with protesters during ICE raid at Southern California farm. Federal immigration agents raid California farm. Federal. Yeah, over and over. California farm. Okay, now that's fine. There are farms in California and federal agents raided it. So now I want to show you a video. We're going to mute the video so I'll speak over it. This is video from Gavin Newsom. And here he wrote kids running from tear gas, crying on the phone because their mother was just taken from the fields. Trump calls me new scum, but he's the real scum. Now, interestingly, what's happening here? First off, why are there children there on the field and why are their mothers running unless they are illegal? And is it possible the children are also working on these illegal. Oh, and what were they farming? Was it tomatoes or onions or garlic Hunter? It was weed, man, as Tim Pool pointed out. So children working on a pot farm. Y' all running child slaves in California. But really, this shows, and this is why it's such a perfect story. It shows you how deep it is with these people. So when Padilla is like, the fruit is rotting because we don't have them. Gavin Newsom will himself post a video of children who are on illegal. Well, it's hard to say if they're illegal or not, the marijuana farms, but they are on marijuana farms. Okay? So putting aside whether they're legal or not, and there is some consternation between the federal government and the state government on that. But there are children there that are likely working. But at the wor. At let's say the children aren't working, they're just hanging out while mom works on the pot farm. Mom is illegal. So ICE is going in and getting rid of the illegals. And yet he posts that, trying to show you that Trump is the bad guy. But all of this, again, because they want this indentured class of people to be beholden to them forever. It doesn't really work because there is something called AI on the way and there are something called robots and they're coming and they're picking fruit. And look at this video. We've shown you this before. But so you get it. You get it. At some point, these people won't need jobs, but then they'll be in the country and their children will be in the company and then in the country. And then what are you going to do with them? So Gavin Padilla, all of you people, you're not the good guys here. You're, you're, you're the, you know, you go after us for being, you know, the elites and Republicans don't care about poor people and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it's like you guys want them as slaves. And I wonder, Gavin Newsom and Tom Homan, if you're listening, maybe you want to check how many illegals are going over at plumpjack Winery. That's Gavin's winery up in Northern Cali. I think it's around 50 acres or so. And why don't you go check how many he's got running over there? And Gavin, why would you be doing that instead of paying people fair market value, you're worth millions. Anyway, my friend Jillian Michaels was over on CNN the other day. She was actually in studio with us in the afternoon and then flew to New York to do cnn. And she was on with Abby Phillip and this Abby Phillip, you know, Dana Bash. I'm always watching her. Like, she just doesn't seem like she believes anything she's saying. Abby Phillip, there's just not a lot going on in there. The woman went to Harvard. But there's just like, it's like Homer Simpson, like you, you know, you zoom in on the brain and it's just like a ping pong bouncing back and forth. Like that's pretty much what's going on there. They got into it about the illegal children working at a weed farm. And Jillian.
Megyn Kelly
Let'S look at what just happened at the glass farm. A glass house marijuana farm. Here's what people don't want to see on the other side. They don't want to see people throwing rocks into the cars of federal agents. They don't want to hear that someone supposedly opened fire on them. They also don't want to learn that there are a bunch of kids there that are undocumented or unaccompanied. And, and they think this is crazy talk and we should be focusing on that. I, for one thing, how did those kids get there? Well, I just want to also add it that farm work work is exempted from child labor laws. So it, you're telling me undocumented. I'm not saying, I'm not talking about the undocumented part. But in, but according to this statement, in this country, not just about farm.
Dave Rubin
And not, not at marijuana farm.
Megyn Kelly
Semantics. Look at the reality of what I'm just saying, talking about how did. Listen an unaccompanied undocumented 14 year old in the middle of. I believe that. And many people might believe children should be subject to child labor laws but if it. But it's true in this country that when it comes to agricultural work they're not and that includes marijuana farms. So the legal, the legality of their status is a separate issue. But the fact of children being there is not actually something that is necessarily illegal. I have a really hard time so there's that. So it's not unusual for there to be teenagers working in a farm. A 15 year old can work at a marijuana growing. It doesn't matter whether it's a marijuana.
Dave Rubin
Farm or an apple farm.
Megyn Kelly
A kid's can work at a bar.
Dave Rubin
But Abby Phillip is extraordinarily dumb or making things up or something. What are you talking about? You're saying illegal children who are 14 years old are allowed to work at marijuana farms. What law is that? What law says an illegal child is allowed? Like she's full on making it up. And of course Gillian who's absolutely brilliant and I was asking her because she was telling me she was doing CNN for the first time that night. Our interview will be up what day a couple days from now. I was asking her why even bother do CNN at this point. She was like well you know, if we can ever pilfer a little truth out of the thing then it's worth doing. I think that's probably debatable at some level. But what are you talking about? Abby Phillip and why would you even take that position? Abby Phillip, don't. Would you. Do you want it so that the 14 year old should have to pick. Let's say it is legal for an illegal to 14 year old to work on a marijuana farm. Is that what you want for them? Why is your knee jerk reaction to defend that? By the way Connor did a little searching while we were showing that video. So it sounds like as it pertains to ICE identifying themselves that they actually don't have to identify themselves during the arrest and they have to identify themselves after. Is that correct? So that is interesting to me. That's something you want to debate about something in good faith. That's something we could have a good faith debate about. I don't like the idea of a bunch of hooded masked guys showing up and just grabbing people and you have no idea who they are. And if you had a firearm and some ran. If I was walking down the street and a bunch of hooded people with no identification tried to grab me and I was carrying. What would you do? There's an interesting. I'm not illegal, but you get the point, right? Like there's something interesting to debate about identification. Okay. But there isn't something to debate about the masks themselves because we know what the other side will do. Anyway, we'll dive more into that and I'd be happy to have legal experts on both sides discuss it. Anyway, here's Stephen Miller talking about the absolute slush fund that the Democrats now have around cartel money and these kids who are working at places like pot farms that Abby Phillip is very happy that they're at.
Connor
By the way, do you know why so many of these unaccompanied alien miners are being put to work in slave wages and slave conditions all across California? To pay off their cartel debts, The Democrat Party is funneling these profits, profits from rape, profits from exploitation, and yes, profits from murder, into the hands of the cartels that control the north of Mexico, that assassinate politicians, that assassinate judges, that assassinate women and children, and that smuggle fentanyl into our country. Cartels are waging war against America. And their allies are the Democrat party and their allies are the Democrat politicians that are incentivizing these migrant mobs to try to murder our ICE officers in cold blood. I never thought we would ever see the day when Democrat politicians would use language and use rhetoric that would encourage illegal aliens and radical left nonprofits to try to murder ICE officers. But that's where we are right now. And what we are seeing done to this country is the mass theft of wages from the middle class to the migrant mobs. And that has to.
Dave Rubin
Okay, so I just want to reiterate one more time that contrary to what Abby Phillips is telling her people on CNN, there is no law that says an illegal 14 year old should work on a pot farm or any other agricultural outfit anywhere in the country simply does not exist. Okay? If you're illegal, you're illegal, Period. Secondly, your sympathies in some sense should be with those kids who likely are. They're being abused one way or another, right? Like they might be physically being abused, but they're being abused in that they are underage and working probably in not great conditions on these platforms. And by the way, because the pot. Because there is this constant tension between the state and the federal government as it relates to marijuana. A lot of. There's a lot of weird shit that goes on at these pot farms. I've known people that have worked in some of these northern Cali Pot Farms. And at some point, if the boss just doesn't want to pay you, he just doesn't pay you because what are you going to do? You're going to sue him? Like, it just starts becoming this crazy thing. So why she's defending that, I don't know. But the Democrats, once again, they're all in. Oh, we will bring as many illegals here. We will have them do our shitty jobs. We will not pay them that much. We'll give them just enough to survive and then they will become indentured servants. You might call them slaves to the Democrat Party. That's not really cynical, it's just kind of obvious. Let's talk about Rosanna Health for a moment and then we will get on.

All right, so I want to jump back to these horrific floods last week in Texas because they're not over. Actually, some of them started up again over the weekend. And we showed you video last week of, of Bill Nye the Science Guy saying that this is the fault of climate change and that people should have been prepared and all that. Ironically, he wasn't on tv, say, I don't know, the day before, the week before, the month before, warning people of Texas about this thing that he knew was gonna happen. I guess the bow tie was on a little too tight. But here he is making the rounds warning us that climate change is gonna make more of these tragedies happen.
Connor
Walber tied my climate change. Just want to say very sorry. It's heartbreaking what happened in Texas last weekend. It's really, it's a terrible thing. But everybody, all the climate models suggest that it's not the last time it's going to happen. Things like that are going to happen more and more as the Earth's atmosphere holds more and more heat. And we don't want our weather forecasting abilities to degrade. We want to keep them as robust as possible so that whatever else you might say, things could, people could be warned to get out of the way of these things. So this is. We're living at an extraordinary time, Jess.
Megyn Kelly
We certainly are.
Dave Rubin
Guys, he's got a bow tie. So although it is true he doesn't know that boys and girls are different. We've shown you that video many times. You've got to trust him because of the bow tie. Can we just throw that screenshot again? Because I noticed that. Look at the, look at. They call that the Chiron. Look at the Chiron there. The bumper New York Times. Shorter days this summer as the earth spins faster. Do you see what they are trying to do to you? Look, I don't know if that is true to any extent or anything else, but that is what they want you. The Earth is spinning. Listen, if the earth was spinning faster I would know, trust me. I get, I have the worst motion sickness. I cannot get on a roller coaster. Literally. I'm in the pool with the kids and they want to be spun. If I do 13 60, I'm out of it for like 20 minutes. The Earth is not spinning faster unless we have some sort of anti gravitational machine running. Oh, we do anyway, it's all just nonsense. It's bullshit. And by the way, you may have noted that Mr. Bowtie over there, he was in Los Angeles. I'm told he lives in Los Angeles. That's right on the San Andreas fault. So for a guy who's very, very concerned about what could happen with the environment, you may want to move, dude. Because the worst case scenario would be one day you'd be broadcasting from LA and then the Earth would just open up and you would disappear. Lady eyelashes Jasmine Crockett, she got a new haircut and well, here she is talking about some stuff, but mostly you're going to focus on her haircut. And I think she might have done some stuff to her face falling back.
Megyn Kelly
Those things that would have hopefully started to cool down this planet down because they don't believe in science. The least that they could do is believe in helping American people. Unfortunately, we continue to see Republicans decide that they want to bury their constituents instead of actually doing everything that they can to make sure that they live amazing and full lives.
Dave Rubin
Remember just about 17 minutes ago, we showed you that video of Alex Padilla saying that Trump's the one doing increasing the heated rhetoric. And there she is, basically. I mean, her words that Republicans want to bury people, they want to kill people, and if only she had enough power, if only the Democrats had enough power, they could cool the planet. Right? Because China and India and other countries, what they do is completely irrelevant. Everything is just about us. And if you just gave these dingbats, these people who cannot accomplish anything other than putting on fake eyelashes, if you just gave them enough money and power and attention, they could cool the planet. It here's Kristi Noem saying that the government actually did everything it possibly could. And by the way, that's the backdrop of what we showed you repeatedly last week, that the local agencies were overstaffed, not understaffed, overstaffed. Take a look.
Megyn Kelly
Well, this is what I think is really unfortunate, is that we have a situation where so many individuals are playing politics with what happened to Texas and, and the governor and the emergency responders on the ground, the mayor of that city, the judge in that county who has some authority over emergency response. Every one of them said, as soon as we asked for help, they were here. The federal government was here. And we didn't just deploy fema. We deployed our Coast Guard and BORTAC teams. Border Patrol was amazing. Every single agency that we had was there helping as many individuals as we possibly could. And that's what I think is remarkable. Mark was a very different response, I think, from the federal government we've ever seen in a disaster like this because we had so many different agencies immediately respond. And that's the way that it should.
Dave Rubin
Yeah. And by the way, I've seen no evidence to counter that. I haven't seen one video from someone on the ground saying they're not getting the help they need or that people aren't responsive or anything else. She was there immediately. There were some questions as to whether they could sign off on certain things the second it happened and everything else. But no system is perfect. And what you hope is that you have a competent government so that when things that are unexpected or expected to happen, you know, you have days like a flash flood like this, you have basically no warning. Right. You have maybe a few minutes but there are some times when we know that massive hurricanes are heading our way. We live here in South Florida, right? Southeast Florida, Miami. We are in a massive hurricane zone here and we're heading into hurricane season. And we've lived in Miami now for about three plus years and we've been fortunate enough that there hasn't actually been a hurricane since we've been living here now. We've done all sorts of things about like getting generators and repairing windows and all sorts of things to prepare for an eventuality which is that a massive hurricane will hit, you know, two and a half years ago. Hurricane Ian, a Category 5, just hit the other coast of Florida. There was Hurricane Helene not too long ago. So massive things do happen. We cannot stop acts of God. Right. We can't do that. But what you can do is hope that you have the proper systems in place. So I am completely confident that if we had a massive hurricane here, it's not that there would be no damage. It's not that nobody would die. It's not that there wouldn't be any other other subsequent disasters after that. But I am completely confident that the government and the systems in place here will do everything to minimize that. That and then it's also on you as a person to figure out where you live and are you prepared and da da da da da do. But they want a perfect system and a perfect system does not exist. But let's get away from the political part of this for just a moment because I thought this was just a nice moment. Donald Trump, who was down there doing his thing, offering help to the people, sending his people out there, they had a impromptu press conference. Dr. Phil was there and Trump kicked it to Dr. Phil to get away from the politics for a moment and talk about the healing and that we are all in all of these. We're not all Texas citizens that were directly affected by this, but we are Americans and we should care when Americans are struggling. And I thought Dr. Phil did a nice job here. Dr. Phil, I see you sitting there.
Connor
And this might be a time for you to give us some of your words of wisdom, if you would. Thank you. Well, thank you. I would. I've talked to families and survivors, parents and grandparents, and the truth is we know psychologically that the number one stressor that we can experience in life is the loss of a child. And the worst situation that we can experience that is when it's sudden and when it's violent. That's the worst thing that can happen stress wise in life. And you know it's people say, well, you know, you get over it. In time, you will. The truth is you never get over it. You get through it. And one of the things Secretary Noem was just talking about, no truer words could be said that it's cathartic to talk about. And there's a collective consciousness in these communities down here. This is my country here. Texas is home for me. And there's a collective consciousness here. And everybody in these communities suffered this loss at some level. And so everybody shares that. And so everybody shares the healing and that will come through here. Everybody will rally together. And these are, this is about faith and it's about family and it's about, it's truly about community.
Dave Rubin
I know that's not the sexiest clip to share with you, but I thought it was worth noting because I tried on the first day that this happened not to do the political part. And then, of course, you see the way it gets politicized and then you have to counter it to some extent. But what? Dr. First off, I like the fact that Trump through to him in the middle of that, like there's all sorts of people talking about the actual emergency there. But then is there something else that we should talk about when it comes to these things? And they're obviously is that we are in on, we are all in on this together, this grand experiment. And it doesn't matter whether you live in Texas or not, because whether it's a wildfire or a hurricane or a mudslide or water rushing or whatever, an electrical storm, hail storm, you live somewhere where something could happen. Right? Just ask the people of the Pacific Palisades about that. And if every time something happens, you're like, all right, did it happen in a blue or red area and who's the governor? And do I like that guy, then I'm going to make my decision or I'm going to tweet out something awful like that doctor that we read last week pointed out, which was that these people are MAGA supporters. They're getting what they deserve. It's like if we do that, then we've just completely stripped the humanity out of it. So let's maybe try not to do that. And the thing is to connect this to everything else that we're talking about today. Once again, we are seeing Donald Trump, I think, do the best that a US President can do with the long list of wins, from his truth Social post earlier to being on the ground to asking the right questions of someone like Dr. Phil and something like that. And we'll get to more of the reaction that Trump has been dealing with for over a decade now in just a second. But for first, Tax Network usa.

Okay, so I want to jump back to two quick videos. One from 2018, one from 2019, just related to the craziness of the left. I want to start with this one. It was making the rounds this weekend for some reason. And I think it'll set us up nicely here. This is 2018. This is Jim Carrey, actor Jim Carrey. I would say Jim Carrey's best movie. Liar, Liar. Who wants to argue with me on that? Dumb and dumber. I say Liar, liar. What about where does the mask fit in for you guys? Six, Six, six or seven. Wow. I think Liar, Liar is pound for pound the funniest. But I can accept dumb or dumber. Just I could see how you could. One or two. Either one of those. I didn't see Kick ass. It was pretty good. Pretty good. All right, let's put that aside for a moment. Hollywood actor, comedian Jim Carrey in 2018 on Bill Maher show. And I just want to show you what Trump derangement syndrome is. I know what you know it. I know you know what it is. But you'll see where we're going with this. Take a look.
Connor
We have a president who started out when the country was together and had a wonderful leader. And he is tearing us limb from limb. Well, destroying every institution.
Dave Rubin
Let's talk about this Donald Trump, even.
Connor
Though we don't want to.
Dave Rubin
Let's bring it on the panel.
Connor
He's a car sale salesman. He's a congressman. Absolutely. And he's, you know, he, he didn't.
Dave Rubin
He didn't make America great again, but.
Connor
He did turn back the odometer. So who knows what the hell is wrong with us?
Dave Rubin
Okay. It is what it is. You've heard that before. You're not, oh my God, I can't believe he said that. You know, and his point is that the country was together with our previous wonderful president. He's talking about Barack Obama. And when they always say things like that, what they mean is, is we had control, we had cultural control. So everything was together. Now your guy came in and it means everything's ripping apart. That's not really how it is. But I want to put that there for a moment and now show you one other thing. This is from the Democrat debate, Dem primary debate in 2019. And listen to Bernie Sanders on a slightly different topic. But you'll see where we're going.
Connor
What I tell these workers is that the scientists are telling us that if we don't act incredibly boldly within the next six, seven years, there will be irreparable damage done, not just to Nevada, not just to Vermont or Massachusetts, but to the entire world. Joe said it right. This is an existential threat. You know what that means, Chuck? That means we're fighting for the future of this planet. And the Green New Deal deal that I support, by the way, will create up to 20 million good paying jobs as we move our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy.
Dave Rubin
Okay, so in 2019, there's Bernie Sanders saying that we've got six or seven years before this existential disaster. Could you guys. I haven't been on Twitter for the last, well, 56 minutes or so. Could you check is Vermont, Massachusetts or Nevada? Are they okay? Is there anything as far as their existential ability to exist as states? They're all still going, everything's fine. Massachusetts hasn't been engulfed by. Okay, so that. Okay, the point is between those two clips, what I'm trying to show you is what they do is create fear around everything, right? When they have control, it doesn't matter how bad things are going, right? So when they have control, let's say it's Joe Biden, it doesn't matter if the border's open and women are being raped and they're bringing in fentanyl and everything, everything's fine. We have a wonderful press president, right? Then when they lose control, everything is bad. And what do you have to use? You have to use fear. If you guys don't elect me, I'm. Then there's an existential threat to America and I can somehow, even though Bernie Sanders, I've never created one job in my entire life. If I get my Green New deal, there'll be 20 million new jobs. Like it's all, it's fear mongering and brain busting absurd. But now let's connect that to the politics of the day because as you know, a full on communist, I would say Islamist, is now running to be mayor of New York City and he is likely going to win. And here is Bernie Sanders. And of course, if there's a bad guy out there ushering in communism and anti American lunacy, you know, Bernie Sanders is his number one supporter.
Connor
He's gonna have the entire establishment, the oligarchy, the billionaires coming down on his, his head. Not only because he's demanding that the wealthy and large corporations in New York City start paying their fair share of taxes. They are worried that his campaign is an example of what can happen all over the country when you bring people together to demand the government that works for all of us and not just a few. So they really want to crush this guy. And you have billionaires saying quite openly, we are going to spend in as much as it takes to defeat this guy. You have Democratic, Democratic leadership not refusing to jump on board a campaign where this guy is the Democratic nominee. So most importantly, I'm going to do everything I can to see that Iran becomes the next mayor of New York.
Dave Rubin
Okay, we were crunching some numbers there. So let's start with the wealthy. He wants the wealthy to pay their fair share. So, you know, if you're wealthy, you pay about 38% in federal income tax tax, 38% in New York. You then pay 11% in state income tax. That gets you to about 49%. And if you live in New York City where most, most of these wealthiest people do, that's where their businesses are, you then pay another 3.8%. So you're at about 53% right there. So more than half of your money goes back into the system. If you are one of these wealthy people on top of all the other taxes that you're paying related to payroll taxes, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And that's why he only says these amorphous phrases like fair share. So is 54% not their fair share? If Bernie, if you just had 60% of their money, would that be, well, why would that be fair? Because Bernie behind you is gonna be a crazier, more psychotic, lunatic communist. So how about 70%? Would that be, if you had 70% of someone else's money, Bernie, would that be fair? So look, the good people and the producers, they've already been fleeing New York City. We know that they're fleeing even already now. Now I spoke to my real estate agent who's he's huge down here and he said his phone is absolutely blowing up with people trying to get out of New York in preparation for this. So again, Florida will reap the rewards and we'll get whatever good remaining police officers are left in, firefighters and all of those things. And that's fine. And hopefully we can bring everybody into the fold and they'll vote the right way and the states will keep going their separate ways. But Bernie, every. So yes. Is it shocking to you, Bernie, that a whole bunch of people who produce, who love America and who love capitalism are against the communist who only became a citizen seven years ago, who, like you, Bernie, has never done anything, he's never accomplished anything. But if we just gave him control of state run grocery stores and housing, we think things would be better. Here's Victor Davis Hanson, who's one of the great intellects of the right, ripping into Mamdani for basically everything.
Connor
He's very sensitive about the African American and Latino vote, which I don't think he's going to win. But now we learn that when he applied to college to Bedouin and I think further to graduate school in which he was not admitted, he claimed that he was an African American. And you know, as someone who was in academia for three decades, I used to have students that were from North Africa, Egypt or Morocco or Algeria, but were not African American. That is, they were not blacks. And they tried that trick and they were not successful either was Mamdani. But imagine he's giving lectures, moral lectures, sanctimonious lectures, self righteous lectures about how unequal the United States is. And then yet he tries to mimic or pass on Elizabeth Warren or Ward Churchill, like fraud. That he's African American, that he's a black African just because his parents, who were Indian and immigrants to Uganda and were one of the 1% elite in that country and they were thrown out and as refugees. He's now claiming that he should, he should have had special. I shouldn't say he's now claiming, he claimed that he should have had special preference in admissions because he was black. You add all of this up and I guarantee you more will come out every day because he's a pampered, privileged, angry young socialist dash communist.
Dave Rubin
Well said, Victor Davis Hansen. So yes, Mamdami's parents are both Indian. They went to Uganda. He then pretended to be black to get into Harvard. Was it Harvard or Columbia? I think Columbia. And then he didn't even get in. He has accomplished nothing yet. Yes, he has good filters on his videos, he's got his fake smile, he pretends to be nice, all of the things that are little nuggets for the retarded leftists. But if we get over that, you will see something really, really nasty and awful right there. And he and the movement and trust me, guys, the plan with this guy is that if they can get him in, they will shut down the violence in New York City, they will shut down the rallies and everything else for about a year. So it will lose. Look good, because it can look good for a while if you have enough funding. Those grocery stores can look good for a little while and that will be just enough to get it to a couple other states. And then what happens after that? Well, all bets are off. So what does Trump have to do? He has to just keep going. They are never going to stop lying. Whether it was eight years ago with Jim Carrey or whether it's what they do with him as it pertains to Texas now or anything else. He has to judge, just keep going. He has to not get distracted with the infighting. I think he has to do, he does have to clean up some of this stuff as it relates to Bondi and Bongino, but just keep going and doing good things because they're just going to keep saying shit like this about him and he's never let it stop him and he shouldn't. Now.
Megyn Kelly
Trump's political magnetism, if you will, with his base is about being rich. I don't even know that it's still about being a good business person or.
Dave Rubin
Being good for the economy. It's so thin. It's so thin. Yes, people love him because he's rich. He could be anywhere right now. I've been to Bora Bora. It is one I can't. It's hard to imagine a better place on earth than Bora Bora. You are at the edge of the universe. He could buy an island there and live there forever and have. It could be like the island of Dr. Moreau and he could have half wolf, half human people feeding him grape leaves all day long. He could do that. But instead he decided to, I don't know, a year ago yesterday, get shot while trying to fight the deep state so that America would remain free for the American people. Here he is with his daughter in law talking about his legacy on this.
Megyn Kelly
Time in our country. When history looks back on you, how would you like to be remembered?
Connor
A good person, but a person that saved our country. I really believed our country was going down for the fall. I don't know if it ever could have come back.
Dave Rubin
It was very close to the edge. And I really would like to be.
Connor
Known as the man that saved our country.
Megyn Kelly
Well, I think you've started off on the right track.
Dave Rubin
Yeah, I do too. And you might go, all right, well maybe we could get a more controversial interviewer than his own daughter in law and that might, might be right. But you know what, if you watch those videos of 30 years ago where Oprah and Phil Donahue and a whole bunch of other people were saying him, could you run for president? Will you run for president? I want you to run for president. What does he say? I don't really want to, but this country's in a lot of, has a lot of problems and if we don't fix it, we're going to give it away. And there he is now, 40 plus years later after a year and a day after being well, that interview went up yesterday. So a year after here being shot, doing a lot of good stuff and I think we got to keep protecting him along the way. That's all I have to say about that postgame show coming up in 30 seconds.

The Rubin Report: "Megyn Kelly Destroy Pam Bondi’s Epstein Narrative w/ Facts in Under 5 Minutes"
Host: Dave Rubin
Guest: Megyn Kelly
Release Date: July 14, 2025
In this episode of The Rubin Report, host Dave Rubin delves into the escalating controversy surrounding Attorney General Pam Bondi and her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Rubin also touches upon recent ICE raids in California, the internal conflicts within the Trump administration, and criticizes mainstream media narratives, particularly those propagated by Democrats concerning immigration and climate change.
Rubin begins by reflecting on the one-year anniversary of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He emphasizes the resilience and enduring legacy of Trump despite the traumatic event.
Dave Rubin (01:50): "It was a potentially unimaginable human tragedy that was about to occur that could have ripped this country in half. And it turned into the thing that saved the country. God works in mysterious ways, doesn't he?"
Rubin juxtaposes images from the day of the shooting with scenes of Trump’s subsequent public appearances, highlighting Trump's unwavering positivity and continued influence.
Dave Rubin (04:30): "One year later to the day, the smile, the joy, FIFA World Cup and all of that. It's just great."
The core of the discussion centers on Pam Bondi's handling of the Epstein files. Megyn Kelly criticizes Bondi for her inconsistent statements and perceived overpromising regarding the release of incriminating documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Megyn Kelly (06:25): "I blame Pam Bondi... she was either lying when she went on Fox News all those times saying, I've got it, I'm looking at it... or she's lying in her two-page memo that they released to Axios."
Rubin adds nuance to Megyn's critique, suggesting that Bondi may have either overpromised or been unclear about the contents of the "files" she mentioned.
Dave Rubin (08:00): "Pam Bondi either was telling the truth that she had these things on her desk and she was gonna release them and now she's not... or she over promised or was confused."
The episode highlights rising tensions within the Trump administration, particularly between Pam Bondi and key figures like Dan Bongino and Kash Patel. Bongino's dissatisfaction with Bondi's handling of the Epstein case has reportedly led him to threaten his departure from the FBI.
Connor (10:00): "Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, is threatening to leave the bureau if Attorney General Pam Bondi remains on the job... He's effectively issued an ultimatum."
Rubin reflects on Bongino’s commitment and past professional choices, portraying him as a dedicated and principled individual.
Dave Rubin (12:30): "Dan seems to me to be an upstanding guy. He gave up a multi-million dollar-a-year job to serve in the government... that's what a selfless person does to help the country."
Trump has publicly supported Pam Bondi, criticizing the mainstream media for mishandling or downplaying significant issues like the Epstein case.
Trump’s Statement via Truth Social (21:00): "Pam Bondi is doing a fantastic job... They created the Epstein files just like they created the fake Hillary Clinton Christopher Steele dossier they used on me."
Rubin underscores Trump's unwavering support for Bondi and his frustration with media outlets that undermine the administration's efforts.
Dave Rubin (22:05): "Trump is fully backing Pam Bondi. She has to just come out in an interview and explain what she meant by the files on her desk."
The conversation shifts to recent ICE raids on California marijuana farms, highlighting the broader implications of Democratic immigration policies. The discussion critiques the impact of these raids on agricultural businesses and undocumented workers, particularly children.
Senator Alex Padilla’s Statement (25:00): "Fruit is rotting on branches because the very people we depend on to harvest it are too afraid to go to work."
Rubin challenges the validity of these claims, pointing out the lack of visual evidence and questioning the narratives pushed by Democratic officials.
Megyn Kelly (26:13): "How did those kids get there?... According to this statement, in this country, not just about farm work..."
Dave Rubin (35:20): "There is no law that says an illegal 14-year-old should work on a pot farm or any other agricultural outfit anywhere in the country."
Rubin and his guests criticize mainstream climate change narratives, suggesting that figures like Bill Nye missed critical warnings leading up to recent natural disasters.
Dave Rubin (42:18): "Once again, we are seeing heated rhetoric from Democrats contributing to violence and unrest."
They argue that climate change is being used as a tool for political manipulation rather than genuine environmental concern.
Dave Rubin (43:57): "Bill Nye doesn't know that boys and girls are different. There's something wrong with him... it's all just nonsense."
The episode touches upon how media and political figures use fear and misinformation to manipulate public perception and maintain control. Rubin references past and present instances where fear-based narratives have been employed.
Dave Rubin (54:07): "They create fear around everything... If you don't elect me, there's an existential threat to America."
He connects this strategy to ongoing efforts by Democrats to influence public opinion and policy through fearmongering.
In concluding the episode, Rubin reiterates his support for Trump's leadership and emphasizes the need for continued vigilance against internal administration conflicts and external media manipulation. He advocates for transparency and accountability within the government, urging listeners to remain informed and engaged.
Dave Rubin (64:07): "A year after the shooting, doing a lot of good stuff... we got to keep protecting him along the way."
Rubin wraps up by encouraging his audience to stay informed and support initiatives that promote freedom, resilience, and financial independence.
