Dave Rubin
Fellas, you know degree Cool Rush deodorant, right? Well, last year they changed the formula and guys were mad about it. One dude even started a petition. So guess what? Degree heard us, admitted they messed up and brought the original Cool Rush scent back exactly how it was. And it's in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. So grab some and remember why its cool, crisp and fresh scent made it the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. Degree Cool Rush is back. And it smells like victory for all of us. Previously on the Rubin Report. You naughty. And that's you will be prosecuted. It's your party not condoning the breaking of law. But of course we needed more border security if your son was applying to Harvard or your son was applying to Google. If Google were to say we consider.

Unknown Speaker
Diversity as one criteria, I would be fine with that.

Dave Rubin
How you doing, guys? I'm Dave Rubin. This is is the Rubin report. It is May 2, 2025. Do not adjust your screens. Yes, it is true. I am sitting a little lower than normal because we are in between two in person interviews that will be put up next week cause I got a bit of travel. So we did not adjust the set. We just sat me down and I'm lower. It's okay. There's nothing medically wrong with you. Everything is just fine. We are live streaming on rumble, YouTube and locals. As always, I know you've already subscribed. I know you've tapped that notification bell and I know you share all of our videos. So I won't ask you to do that. And it is Friday, so we have no post game show. We will be doing a Rubin Report Locals community Q and A which we normally do on Thursdays, but had Congressman Ro Khanna on yesterday. So we're doing that today and we're catching up just on all the stuff that I could not get to throughout the week. We've got some Hamas stuff. We've got a little bit of throwback Thomas Sowell stuff. We've got Jon Stewart, who was supposed to save the libs and then became a progressive dingbat. But we've got the impending war with Canada, a little CNN meltdown, and then some good stuff out of the Trump administration. Oh, and Kamala Harris, remember that lady? She came back. She is no better than she was before. But we'll play a clip or two of a big speech that she gave. Oh, and I just heard that next week Joe and Jill Biden will be on the View. We're very Excited about that. So we'll get that to you next week. But let's start with. With Alex Karp. We've shown you a couple videos, probably a dozen videos or so in year or so of Alex Karp. He is the CEO of Palantir. I've also had Peter Thiel, co founder of Palantir, and Joe Lonsdale, one of the founders of Palantir, on the show. And Alex Karp, I think, has just become one of the leading communicators of American values and why this country and western values are good. He's doing just a great job of this while also leading a multi billion dollar public corporation, Palantir. And here he was at an event that had nothing to do with Hama or Israel or Gaza or anything else. And of course, the usual suspects start screaming at him. And I think he just did a nice job with this. Take a look.
- [03:10]
Alex Karp
That a few people get wealthy and if you said platitudes that were obviously stupid, you could.
- [03:16]
Unknown Speaker
Palestinians with Palestine killed. Palestinians with their AI and technology, killing my family in Palestine.
- [03:25]
Dave Rubin
And you know. Well, if you.
- [03:29]
Alex Karp
Do you want to hear my answer? Okay, so I. I think the primary cause of death to Palestinians. Okay, do you want to. You want to hear the answer or do you want to yell? Well, do you don't want to hear an answer? Obviously. So the primary source of. Of death in Palestine is the fact that Hamas has realized that there are millions and millions of useful idiots that will.
- [04:05]
Dave Rubin
Can we get security up there? Okay.
- [04:10]
Alex Karp
One of the motions.
- [04:11]
Dave Rubin
Okay.
- [04:12]
Unknown Speaker
How dare you. Your AI and your technology from Palantir.
- [04:15]
Alex Karp
Kill Palestinians, mostly terrorists. That's true. Okay, like, if your argument was so strong, wouldn't you let me talk?
- [04:29]
Dave Rubin
Okay, fear not. We'll get to the part where he gives the great explanation of free speech and western values and all that good stuff in just a second. I wanted to start with that clip and then jump back here because what is happening all across the country right now is these people who think they are so right about everything. I mean, this hysterical girl. Hysterical. Can I speak? Yeah, go ahead. And then everyone laughs and then she's upset that they're laughing at her. These hysterical people who think they are so right about everything. Do you have any idea what they would do if they had the power? Do you think if that girl had the power and all of these masked jihadis, these LARPing buffoons, if they had the power to silence and kill all of their opposition, would they do it? Yes or no? And the obvious answer is yes. I Don't know that they would kill everybody. I think a certain percentage of them absolutely would. But I would say almost all of them would gladly silence everybody. They're using all of our Western values, all of our cares for freedom, free speech, and plurality against us. And here you have just like a thoughtful guy, I always say. The funny thing about him is he looks like the creator of the Oasis from Ready Player One. What was the guy's name again? I always forget the guy's name who created the Oasis in Ready Player One. In the movie, he literally looks like the guy. But any event, James Halliday. Thank you. If you haven't seen the movie, great movie by Spielberg. The book's even better, which is from 30 or so years ago. But anyway, this idea that you should just show up anywhere and start screaming, and because you can scream louder than somebody, that's actually not a proper exercise of free speech. Using your free speech to shut down someone else's free speech is actually not the social exchange that we should all be having. Right? That's not within the spirit of what free speech is really about. Anyway, Alex Karp let this girl go on and on. And here he explains what free speech is and why the battle of ideas is important. And I would say he goes even a little further than I would go. I'll explain that in just a moment. Take a look.
- [06:23]
Alex Karp
One of the most important things. First of all, I really support free speech. So the part where you get up and say, what you think I'm 100% on your side. If your argument is that strong, why will you not let the other side talk? And there it's like. It's like, obviously, if the argument was as simple. And by the way, the pain of Palestinians is something that everybody and anyone who dies in war, obviously people care.
- [06:54]
Dave Rubin
But I care about that.
- [06:56]
Alex Karp
The obvious solution to war is to have the west having the strongest, most precise deadly weapons possible so that we can minimize unnecessary innocent deaths. And by the way, the primary way you minimize these deaths is you're so strong, no one attacks you. These are all completely legitimate topics. But if we who disagree with being shouted at do not stand up and say, you know, we got to fight back, at least talk about.
- [07:27]
Unknown Speaker
Enforce.
- [07:27]
Alex Karp
Discursive discussion.
- [07:29]
Dave Rubin
Okay? So he. And he goes on and on. He has a great way of just communicating complex things in a very simple. I don't know, maybe it's because of a little bit of the crazy hair. He looks like a mad scientist or something. The part that I think he goes a little Almost too far is when he's basically saying the part where you get up to say what you want. Well, yes, you do get up to say what you want, but if you're screaming someone else down, which is what she was doing, that isn't right. Now, I don't know the exact format of the conversation they were having there, but usually these things end with Q&As. And I know that every single time in the last 10 years that I've done a Q and A at a college or anywhere else, I always ask for the most difficult questions. Or if you don't agree with me, come up first. That's something that Charlie Kirk and I were doing years and years ago at the height of all of the cancellation stuff. We would always say, you know, if you don't agree with us, come up first. Because there's just no other point to, for us to just say more of the things that you might agree with. Right? So of course everyone should be allowed to speak. But again, using your speech to silence someone else is not exactly what the exchange of free speech is. Then he makes the great point that we in the west, if we have peace through strength, right? If we are strong and our enemies realize we're strong, that's how you make sure that the least amount of people are killed, right? Because then people won't mess with you. I think this is where a lot of the libertarian arguments run thin. To me that just saying I never want war, I always want peace. Yes, we all want that, that's nice. But it's a very seventh grade attitude towards the way the world works. If someone is really bad and someone's trying to come and kill your family and kidnap your children and all of these horrible things, just saying, I want peace, I want peace. That doesn't do anything. But if they have the threat, oh boy, these guys have crazy weapons and they have seriously precise weapons, by the way. That's how you will minimize all of these things. So to the extent that Palantir is involved in any of this, and by the way, Palantir is working with various governments all over the world. And if you haven't seen my inter with Joe Lonsdale, one of the co founders of Palantir, he talks about the amount of terrorist attacks that they've stopped, they're not even allowed to share all of that information for obvious reasons. But like if we in the west if freedom loving people who realize that we don't get to own the world and make everyone bow to us, if we have Strong weapons and peace through strength and show people, hey, just don't mess with us. We have a certain way of living. You can have your way of living too, but you just can't rampage our stuff and rape our women. That's how you will get peace. And that also, as he illustrated there is if you calmly explain this stuff to people, hopefully some of this will come around. Now, partly part of the problem here, and this is an old clip that we showed you I think once or twice over the last year or so, is that so much of what has happened on the left is the left are obsessed with victims or perceived victims, right? So if you are a minority, you are supposed to be a victim. Now, there's several groups, but most notably the Jews, who don't fit into that. Because Jews who have been oppressed and pogrommed and holocausted and gone through the Spanish Inquisition and all of these things somehow figure out a way to be successful that's largely because of family and culture and tradition and caring about education and all of these things. And that doesn't fit in the left's intersectional calculator. So they hate them the most because it's like, oh, you're proof that what we are saying is not right. We need our minorities to be, to be oppressed.
- [10:43]
Thomas Sowell
Here is Thomas Sowell on that fascinating story. Because among the middleman minorities of which the Jews are most prominent, the hostility of these people in countries around the world is out of all proportion to that, to any other kind of group I can think of in terms of violence. The number of Chinese killed, let's say, in one year and by mob action exceeds all the blacks lynched in the entire history of the United States. And the number of Armenians killed in Turkey during the First World War is greater than that. Of course, the number of Jews slaughtered on a number of occasions in history, even before the Holocaust, is greater than that. So the question is why this particular kind of people are the targets of so much venomous hatred. Years ago, one official of one of the Jewish organizations in New York asked me, what can Jews themselves do do in order to minimize the hostility they face? I gave them a one word answer, fail. Because as long as you succeed, you're going to be hated.
- [11:45]
Dave Rubin
Yeah. And it would be better for Jews and everyone else not to fail. How about get in the game? How about care about the things that will lead you to success, like education, like family, like knowledge, like hard work, things like that. Maybe if you're jealous of the Jews, you should emulate some of those things. Not that all Jews are great at all of those things, a lot of Jews who are utter failures. But the basic idea here is that we as a society for the last decade have put so much primacy on victimhood and minorities and all of these things that now the very people who care, who purportedly care about the oppressed are going after the people that they should be probably defending more than anyone else in some weird sense. Here's a little more on Thomas Sowell and his, his explanation of how liberals just play on pity and victimization. And it actually does not make sense if you look at the numbers. Is the victim mentality holding you back in life? You can't stand self pity. Is that part of what's going on here?
- [12:52]
Thomas Sowell
Part of me? Partly, yeah.
- [12:53]
Dave Rubin
And somehow or other the liberal project.
- [12:55]
Thomas Sowell
Plays on, on pity, yes. And, and in fact, in the book that I'm writing now, I discover this is true not only in the United States, it's true in England and the situation is wholly different. And yet if you read the data, for example, from London, the educational tests and so forth, you see that there immigrants from Africa passed this test. They have, I'm talking about low income people now nearly 60% of the time. Blacks from Caribbean like 50% so on native born whites in the same low income bracket pass this test 30% of the time. And it's the same thing the, the foreign people come in. They haven't had generations of being steeped in the welfare state vision, the vision of grievances, victimology and resentments. The idea that there are enemies out there dedicated to keeping you down. That's the message that's been pumped into the head of the white lower class in Britain. And that's the image that's been pumped into the black low income people in the United States.
- [13:52]
Dave Rubin
Do you get how dangerous that is? If you just look at someone and you say you are of this religion, you are of this skin color, you are of this sexuality or gender. And then I mean, I know you guys know this, but it's just worth, we still have to get these points across and say, okay, so this is how it is for you. The system is rigged against you. Then those people will be burning, be willing to burn down virtually everything right in the name of getting to their new utopia. But then he points out that these new immigrants who happen to be black come over from Africa. And there's many examples of this where they come over to Africa and because they haven't been trained into thinking that the welfare state is important. Everything is against them. And they're not getting all these handouts. They bust their asses and work hard, just like probably your grandparents, your great grandparents did. And then they make it better for the generation beneath them versus the people who are stuck in a cycle of poverty, who are basically given just enough to keep going but never really succeed. And that's another reason that we have to think through all of these government programs, as any government program, as it relates to homelessness or getting people off drugs or handing out food stamps or anything. Does it work? And the answer almost exclusively, is no. Speaking of things that don't work, Jon Stewart was once the guy for 20 years on American television who everyone said, more young people get their news from Jon Stewart than anywhere else. That was just the meme around Jon Stewart. And he had the Daily show when it was popular. He left the Daily Show a couple of years ago. He gave it to that racist guy, and then that didn't work out. So now they have a rotating host. I think John hosts it once a week. But he has still a guy who should have defended true liberalism. He went into all of the woke left bullshit, trans nonsense. He has complete Trump derangement syndrome. Here he is on Trump and deportations. And yeah, we're going to clean it up after.
- [15:49]
Jon Stewart
We are going to start the largest mass deportation in the history of our country, and we are going to start with violent criminals. We're going to get that are criminals and horrible people. Hannibal Lecter is coming in. Lots of them.
- [16:02]
Dave Rubin
Lots of them. So many of them. It's like that Timothee Chalamet lookalike event, but for Hannibal Lecter's. By the way, wouldn't massing a bunch of Hannibal Lecters around the border be a solution for immigration? There was a line here yesterday. I don't. Now it's just shoes and empty Chianti bottles. I don't. So are we taking out the lectors? The worst of the worst. Last week's deportations included three American children, all U.S. citizens. One of them is battling cancer. Oh, my God. Are you. What? That's. So we're deporting again, with cancer. Trump really doesn't understand how the Make a Wish foundation works, does he, John? You need 20 writers for that. How many writers do you have on that show? I have no writers. And this is how funny we are over here. But relative to the amount of writers, I'd say we're funnier. So, okay, the jokes are no good, the canned laughter, all that stuff, but it Is interesting. He shows you these numbers. A two year old was deported and a four year old and a seven year old. So he shows you four examples. There were four examples that they showed you right there. That's four out of 139,000. We checked the numbers right before the show. So since Trump has taken over 139,000 people have been deported. Now he has four examples of young children that have been deported. But you know what, I don't have any more to add on this. Let's just go to Scott and the retards.
- [17:48]
Scott Jennings
The children that you mentioned were not deported. They went with their mothers. Their mothers requested that the children come with them. So their mothers were deported because they were illegal aliens. And, and, and so, and so to go through, they went.
- [18:01]
Dave Rubin
So, so you're.
- [18:02]
Scott Jennings
So there's really two choices here. Split the family or keep the family together. The government's policy here was to let the mothers decide. The mothers decided to take the children. That's number one on the Garcia case. Effectively, what you all are arguing for passionately and what Democrats are passionately arguing for is for the President United States to re import a dangerous member of a transnational terrorist organization who has clear affiliations with a gang that commits heinous atrocities. That is not what he was elected to do. And whether you bring him back here or not, I'm just going to explain to you the politics of this through telling you what the speaker of the House, Hakeem Jeffries did today, which is that he told his members, please, for the love of God, stop going to El Salvador and dying on this hill. The politics of this could not be worse for the left and worse for Democrats because the President knows he was elected to protect us from MS.13 and that is what they are.
- [18:58]
Dave Rubin
Yeah, that's right. Again, 8020 issue for Trump. Most of America's with him on this. You guys want to keep going El Salvador, fine. But to get to the earlier point. So congratulations, Jon Stewart, you put up a graphic from CNN that showed for young people that were taken away, as Scott points out, the government didn't just grab those children and kick them out and separate them from their mothers. The government realized that the mothers were illegal and that it gave them the choice. Would you like to leave your children in America or would you like to take them with you? That is actually a kind choice for the government to make. The mothers, I think made the wise decision because what could be important than keeping your family together of taking their children? But again, congratulations, you found four examples to get all of these idiots on CNN to go crazy. Out of 139,000 people who have been deported that were illegal, including people who were gang members and rapists and murderers, et cetera, et cetera, they continued on the Jon Stewart Daily Show. He brought in Mark Carney, who will be the new prime minister of Canada, and he's a real tough guy. And listen to all the canned laughter that got at Trump's expense. What are they making up there of the overtures and sort of trolling to Canada about being a part of the United States?
- [20:24]
Unknown Speaker
Well, I mean, the bottom line is not going to happen. That the overture. I mean, because you don't want.
- [20:35]
Dave Rubin
You don't want.
- [20:35]
Unknown Speaker
Well, we were. We're proud. We find you very attractive, but we're not. We're not moving. We're not.
- [20:43]
Not.
- [20:43]
Not moving in with you. It's. It's not you, it's us. We have. We do things a little differently in Canada. We, we believe in.
- [20:55]
Dave Rubin
I just want to. Before you go any further, I'm up for it. We're up for it. Whatever you do differently, we want to experiment, too. What do you guys want? You. You want, like, we can be friends.
- [21:07]
Unknown Speaker
There can be a few benefits. John. Friends with benefits, but not gonna commit all the way. Benefits of trade, benefits of, you know, defense.
- [21:17]
Dave Rubin
Let me, Let me tell you something. As a guy that's worked on some TV shows over the years, that was an intern at the Daily show when John took over in 1999. When you hear that hysterical laughter, like someone screaming in the background, when he's like, the bottom line, it's not gonna happen. And then they're like, it's fake. It's all fake. Not only do they fiddle with the audio levels of the laughter, but the women that you hear scre. No one would scream, well, it's not going to happen. We're not going to be annexed. It's fake. They have someone that works for them. It's a PA or an intern or it's a producer that starts the applauding. These shows literally have signs that tell people when to applaud and when to laugh. It's all fake. And you can see it's just. It's all scripted and boring and nonsense and good luck, Canada, with that guy. Here he is again. He's a tough guy, though. And Canada doesn't like America anymore.
- [22:07]
Unknown Speaker
We are once again at one of those hinge moments of history. Our old relationship with the United States, a relationship based on steadily increasing integration, is over. The system of open global trade anchored by the United States, a system that Canada has relied on since the Second World War. A a system that, while not perfect, has helped deliver prosperity for a country for decades, is over. But it's also our new reality. We are over. We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons.
- [22:49]
Dave Rubin
Oh, you're over the shock of the American betrayal? You mean all of the deals that you just referenced since World War II that were lopsided in your favor and we asked for just better deals? It's over. Well, okay. I love Canadians. I don't know how many times I say this on this show. I've loved every time going to Canada and doing shows in Canada. And I just love the Canadian spirit. It's so, generally speaking, like, kind of carefree because it's been pretty good for Canada until these last maybe, I don't know, seven to 10 years of Trudeau and lockdowns and arresting truckers and all of those things. But sorry, I do think you guys need us more than we need you. That's the same thing for China, right? So sorry. Now, Trump may. You can make the argument that Trump made a mistake by going so hard and making so many jokes about 51st state that it galvanized support for the main opposition to Trump, which was not going to be the Conservative, but it was going to be the Liberal, Mark Carney. So you might make an argument for that. You could also make an argument that that's exactly what Trump wanted to do because it's easier to smack around a lefty who just talks a lot and doesn't do and doesn't really know how to fight. So we will see where that all shakes out. But I think if you're a Canadian, at the very least you can be happy that the Green Party did not win the election.
- [24:10]
Unknown Speaker
About the election, but I'm just going to wait till it's my turn. And we're the warm up act because you've got real musicians and real talent coming up soon. So we figured, you know, it's my party so I can sing if I want. Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street and to.
- [24:32]
Dave Rubin
Hear that pitter pat and that happy.
- [24:35]
Jon Stewart
Tune is your step. I have to be so sweet on the sunny side of the street I.
- [24:44]
Unknown Speaker
Used to walk in.
- [24:47]
Dave Rubin
I, I have two things to say about that. Number one, stay off the pot, kids. You know, one of the things that sucks about getting older is that like in, I don't think there's really anything wrong with smoking pop. But if you're running, you know, do it, control it, whatever, all right? Don't become a hardcore pothead, et cetera, et cetera. But, like, you don't want to be that. You don't want to be that. So, like, if one day you're running a party, the green, like, just. Okay, you get the point. Number two, their first two albums were better. You know, they really were. I don't know what happened with that one. They just lost it. They lost it. They probably couldn't remember the lyrics. Kamala Harris is back. She's talking about elephants.
- [25:31]
Unknown Speaker
In fact. Please allow me friends to digress for a moment. Okay, it's kind of dark in here, but I'm asking a show of hands, who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago? The one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake? Google it if you've not seen it. So that scene has been on my mind. Everybody's asking me what you've been thinking about these days.
- [25:58]
Dave Rubin
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we dodged a bullet. Like, just. Just bring her back. And as I said, Biden is going to be on the View next week. We dodged. There is something dysregulated about that woman. How after all of the press and everything of the six months that she campaigned or whatever it was, the body language. It's. Something's wrong with her. It's as if an alien is trying to break through. Like I always say, Gavin Newsom is just a lizard man inside, but with.
- [26:33]
Unknown Speaker
Ah.
- [26:36]
Dave Rubin
But okay, whatever. Something about an elephant. We talk a lot on this show about waking up. Not just politically, but physically, too. And what you put in your body to start the day matters. That's why I drink 1775 coffee. Their rejuvenate roast is a bold, dark roast infused with a compound that supports energy and recovery. Some research even suggests this compound can help reverse biological age by up to eight years. If you want even more focus and clarity, they've got a mushroom coffee, too. Packed with five functional mushrooms like lion's mane and cordyceps to keep you sharp, energized, and dialed in. It's single origin coffee roasted fresh every week in Miami by people who actually believe in freedom, truth and responsibility. No woke brand, no corporate nonsense, just great coffee that shares the values we talk about here every single day. Head on over to 1775 Coffee.com use code REUBEN for 15 off, and start your day with coffee that stands for truth, freedom, and the country that you believe in. This is a Friday show, so the Segues don't fully make sense. Here's Anna Navarro also having sort of an out of body experience on cnn. Country illegally, you are going home. Simple as that.
- [27:47]
Unknown Speaker
We do not have unlimited. I think a lot of Americans take care of other people other than the black people who were brought here as slaves who came to this country illegally. They are not the same as black.
- [27:58]
Dave Rubin
People who were brought here against our will.
- [27:59]
Unknown Speaker
Exactly what I said. There's a big difference who can act indignant. That's exactly what I just said. Let me just share my thoughts. Other than the. There are a lot of people from. I think you actually misheard what she. I think you misheard what she said. No, he purposely misheard. She said. I purposely.
- [28:26]
Dave Rubin
Yes, she said.
- [28:27]
Unknown Speaker
So now you're in my chair. Michael, listen to me for just. Is that where we're going? I would say I will have advocated black people my entire life and say something like that because you have advocated for black people. Great.
- [28:37]
Dave Rubin
Congratulations.
- [28:37]
Unknown Speaker
Last time I checked, I'm black. You're not. Okay, Cher. Michael.
- [28:40]
Dave Rubin
That's right.
- [28:40]
Unknown Speaker
I'm Latino. And my people are being racially profiled. It is.
- [28:44]
Dave Rubin
Do I have to remind you the.
- [28:45]
Unknown Speaker
History of my people? If you want to go to break, we're going to go to break. Raul Reyes, thank you very much for joining us. Everybody else, hang tight. We'll be right back. When I was studying history like the.
- [28:58]
Dave Rubin
President, these people are paid for that. Can you imagine someone at the end of the day like, you did a fine job today. Let's give you your check. First off, Shermichael is becoming an all star over there. You know, Scott Jennings obviously gets a lot of credit, but. Sure, Michael. So he's just standing up there, just laying it. And I love. She just wants to be a victim so fucking badly. My people are being racially profiled. No, they're not. No, they're not. They're not. Nobody cares if you're Hispanic. Muy bien. It's great. Are you here legally? Have at it. But if you are illegal, you might be in trouble. But that has to do with legal status, not your ethnicity. But. And immediately even his response to that, like, she's like, ah, my people are me. And he's like, well, I'm black. He doesn't want to play that game. But if you want to play stupid games, you will win stupid prizes. Speaking of stupid games and stupid prizes.

Unknown Speaker
Jasmine Crockett, as far as I'm concerned, you randomly kidnapping folk and you throwing them out of the country against their civil rights against their constitutional rights. And frankly, how would they feel if some other country decided that they were going to just start throwing people randomly in our country like that? That is absolutely insane. So yes, all I gotta say is y'all need to get these fools out of here.
- [30:16]
Dave Rubin
I don't even know what she was saying there. I don't even think she knows. I literally think she's like, let me get the fake accent on and let me get a talking and I'm gonna talk about some stuff and see what happens. And people will just replay those videos like Dave Rubin. Cause I'm on the same. Some stupid stuff. We're not randomly throwing people out. We are specifically throwing out illegal people. And then if an illegal person has a little child, we even give them the choice if they want to take the child or not. That's not Nazi level stuff. And I don't know what she's talking about about throwing people in here. Yeah, a whole bunch of countries like China have tried to flood us with people. But you can't come. We've closed the door. Shop is closed. Ted Lieu is an idiot. He is from California. All of them. All of them. Every single freaking one of them. He's a congressman from California. He's an awful, awful human being. I'm pretty sure he's called me racist a couple times on Twitter. He's a terrible human being. Here he is. Because Premia Jayapal, who's also another horrible human being, she tried to pass a ridiculous amendment stopping ICE from deporting U.S. citizens. Now of course ICE can't deport U.S. citizens. You know why, Connor? You know why? Cuz U.S. citizens are U.S. citizens. Right? So it's a completely ridiculous amendment they are trying to pass. But watch the trickery of Ted Lieu. The fact that Democrats and my colleague, Representative Pramila Jayapel feel the need to even introduce an amendment that says ICE cannot deport US citizens is bat crazy. This should not even be a discussion. It is not Even a question. U.S. citizens cannot be deported by ICE. It's the law. It's the Constitution. I will be astounded if Republicans vote no on this. You're back, Ted Lieu. I know it's Friday. Ted Lieu, you're a fucking idiot. You're a fucking idiot. You just explained why the bill is moronic. You can't do that. It is illegal to deport legal citizens. So you are admitting in your very sentence that the lady, that ugly witch like woman next to you is trying to create amendment for something that cannot be done. And then you're trying to guilt Republicans into signing onto something that literally can't be done. You horrible human who used to raise a lot of money from a meth addict who killed a bunch of homeless black guys in West Hollywood. Yeah, Google it if you're not sure what I'm talking about. Now let's go to Florida, because there's a lot of good stuff happening here. We've got a governor who is highly functional. We have a police department and a series of institutions that do the right thing. And we're strengthening all of those institutions. And if you come here and you're illegal, you cannot stay Morrow. And so those are the types of numbers you need to really be able to put a dent in what Biden did. I mean, Biden let in millions and millions, and there were already millions and millions of illegal aliens. You got to get those numbers up. So. So we're proud of doing that. We're the only state that's doing at that level. However, we're ready to do more. We want DHS to prove some of our plans. We have the best emergency response and problem solving units in the country. I can set up at a Moment's notice, within 72 hours, 10,000 beds, you know, for illegal. So they can be processed and deported. We can run flights to El Salvador wherever they need to. So we're doing a lot. Guys, the choice is just so obvious, right? We all get it. The choice is obvious. You can either live in a place with competent governance, with people who understand what the difference between being illegal and legal is, what being a citizen and a non citizen is, what law and order is versus complete anarchy and chaos, or you can choose the other thing, and the other thing is really, really bad. People that don't understand the difference between any of those things. And that's what New York and Cali and many of the blue states are going to keep doing. But here in Florida, it's not just that we have the best law enforcement and that we are coordinating with ice. So if you get caught here in Florida by local Florida pd, you're driving down alligator alley and they catch you, they're gonna deport you if you are illegal, not just send you to some Florida penitentiary. Yeah, we can get the bed set up real quick. We do all that stuff and then you're out. And that's mature governance. And it's why DeSantis won by 20 points and why we are the most flourishing state in the nation that has the number one economy, number one education, number one in bringing in New people and all of the rest of it. It's obvious and real. Timu Obama, Hakeem Jeffries, here he is. And this is a man who, he had a big week because he sat on his ass for 15 hours with Cory Booker outside of the Capitol. So that was the big thing he did this week. Here he is just completely making up nonsense about Medicaid and then Trump actually telling the truth about Medicaid of the health care of the American people. It is outrageous that Donald Trump and.
- [35:33]
Thomas Sowell
Congressional Republicans are trying to enact the.
- [35:37]
Dave Rubin
Largest cut to Medicaid in American history. They will hurt families, hurt children, hurt seniors, hurt women, hurt veterans, and hurt disabled Americans.
- [35:49]
Thomas Sowell
Hospitals will close, nursing homes will shut.
- [35:53]
Dave Rubin
Down and people will die.
- [35:57]
Jon Stewart
We will always protect Medicare and Social Security for our great seniors with no consequences. And we will defend Medicaid for those great people that are in need. House Republicans are working to invest more money in Medicaid than we spend today. The only thing we're going to cut is the corruption and the crooks that take advantage of some of the illegal schemes.
- [36:22]
Dave Rubin
And it's like, guys just choose a side. And I get it. People's brains have been broken and Trump derangement syndrome is a real illness and everything else, else. But Trump has never said he's going to cut Social Security and Medicare. As a matter of fact, just days ago, he's saying the complete opposite. What he did do is start cutting some of the fraud. And the Democrats might want to think about it for a moment. Why are they so invested in keeping the fraud? Why are they so invested in keeping the slush fund? Why do they want so much money being wasted in the system? Unless it's that they're kind of getting kickbacks of it, or their entire party has been propped up up through USAID and all of these things. So they're just liars. They know that they're lying. They know we know that they're lying, and they continue to lie. It is rather extraordinary. What's also rather extraordinary is that good things are happening. Despite all of the liars and the buffoons and the clowns and everything else, more and more investment is happening here in the United States. Here's Trump on that.
- [37:19]
Jon Stewart
This week, we're celebrating the Most successful first 100 days of any administration in American history. We're thrilled to welcome to the White House dozens of the world top leaders of all kinds, but in particular, business leaders. And since the election, the companies represented in this room have collectively announced more than $2 trillion in new investments.
- [37:42]
Dave Rubin
And we're going to build Nvidia's technology.
- [37:45]
Unknown Speaker
The next generation of that all here.
- [37:48]
Dave Rubin
In the United States.
- [37:49]
Unknown Speaker
Without the President's leadership, his policies, his support, and very importantly, his strong encouragement, and I mean his strong encouragement.
- [38:05]
Dave Rubin
Frankly.
- [38:06]
Unknown Speaker
Manufacturing United States wouldn't have accelerated through this pace.
- [38:10]
Dave Rubin
Yeah. So Nvidia, they make chips. Have you heard about AI? There's going to be a major AI race, and we are going to need the best computers, we're going to need the best chips. We don't want to just be reliant on Taiwan and China, and particularly China when it comes to getting chips and being able to make things, because we're in a race with them to get to whatever the next version of humanity that is going to be largely AI powered is going to be. So Trump has created the conditions so we can manufacture here once again. So whatever the next crisis might be, whether it's a technological crisis or a pandemic crisis or whatever, imagine if we could produce things here so if there was a pandemic, we wouldn't have to get all our masks from China. Wouldn't that be something else? The guy that, of course, who has led all, or I would say a huge portion, let's say, of the fixing of all of this, is Elon Musk, who finally now, after a couple months of running Doge saving billions and billions of dollars, and undoubtedly there's more to be saved. He's going to be stepping back in his role, going back to Tesla and doing some other things. And here's Elon talking about Trump and some of the things that he's accomplished. The American people voted for secure borders.
- [39:26]
Unknown Speaker
Safe cities, and sensible spending, and that's what they've gotten. A tremendous amount has been accomplished in.
- [39:32]
Dave Rubin
The first hundred days. As everyone has said, it's more than has been accomplished in any administration before ever, period.
- [39:41]
Unknown Speaker
So this portends very well for what.
- [39:44]
Dave Rubin
Happened for the rest of the administration. I think this could be the greatest administration out of your country.
- [39:51]
Jon Stewart
Well, we all want to thank you for your help. You really have sacrificed a lot. Being treated very unfairly.
- [39:58]
Unknown Speaker
Well, they do like to run my.
- [40:00]
Dave Rubin
Cars, which is not great, you know.
- [40:05]
Jon Stewart
But you have been treated unfairly. But the vast majority of people in this country really respect and appreciate you, and this whole room can say that very strongly. You've really been a tremendous help. You opened up a lot of eyes as to what could be done, and we just want to thank you very much. And, you know, you're invited to stay as long as you want, at some point, I guess he wants to get back home to his cars and his. You've done an incredible job. $150 billion. Think of this.
- [40:42]
Dave Rubin
Yeah. 160 now.
- [40:44]
Jon Stewart
Yeah.
- [40:46]
Dave Rubin
What a nice moment, guys. And it, it's just perfectly illustrative of everything I'm always talking about. We are so not used to good, competent people doing things that when you see it, it's almost like you're almost watching like an alien that speaks another language like that he speaks off the cuff that he's joking. Like he's like, well, I wish they wouldn't have burned all my cars. And then he smiles about it because do you think, as the left would say, as all these idiots on CNN and MSNBC say, you think it's like he was doing this to get tax cuts for billionaires or did he do it cuz he really cares about this country and he saved an awful lot of money and we cut an awful lot of fraud and abuse and that. That will then hopefully pave the way for all sorts of things to get better. Right. As Bobby goes into HHS and cleans it up, as Marco Rubio goes into the State Department and cleans it up and gets rid of the deep state people, as Pete Hegseth does that at the Department of Defense. So good people have gotten on board here and it's great to see. And I want to do one other thing before we get to the community Q and A, which is that there is a little reshuffling of the administration already. This happened yesterday from Trump on Truth Social. I'm pleased to announce that I will be nominating Mike Waltz to be the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. From his time in uniform, on the battlefield, in Congress, and as my National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz has worked hard to put our nation's interests first. I know that he will do the same in his new role in the interim Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as National Security Advisor while continuing his strong leadership at the State Department. Together, we will continue to fight tirelessly to make America and the world safe again. Thank you for your attention in this matter. So of course Mike Waltz was the guy who people said was the one who accidentally put the Atlantic reporter in that Signal chat. That was a couple weeks ago. It largely went away. But Mike Waltz, maybe it has something to do with that, maybe it doesn't. But he will now head up our situation at the United nations and most people think he's highly competent and ready for that. And that will be good. And The United nations deserves nothing than being smacked down. Kind of like Nikki Haley did under Trump the first time around. And Marco Rubio will now also be National Security Advisor. So he's Secretary of State. Also be National Security Advisor again. I just think it's more layers of competence and good stuff.

I'm suspicious that Governor Shapiro will be left off the 2028 Democratic presidential candidate list. Given the recent arson incident, it seems like he's already being positioned as a sympathetic figure. What are your thoughts? I mean, look, I, I, he, even though I disagree with him on a whole host of issues, he is not a completely insane, lunatic, far left Marxist, progressive Democrat. He is someone that I think loves this country. He may want a little bit of a bigger government. I think he's a little misguided and confused on some things, but I think the party's done with that. They might fake it, right? Like we might roll into, you know, the 2028 situation and they might try to fake it and find somebody that doesn't come off as a complete lunatic. But the energy obviously is with the lunatics. And I would say that to whatever extent Shapiro is a moderate Democrat, I think what he will find is there will be plenty of room for him in the wide tent Republican movement. I'm not saying the guy's switching, but I just don't see a future for a moderate. So whether he's got a sympathy vote because they burned down his house or they, which they literally tried to do, someone tried to burn down his house because of what he was doing to Palestine. As if the governor of Pennsylvania has anything to do with that. I just think they're done with him and they're done with Jews also. It's sad, but true. I'm sorry, I just. It is so. I don't see much of a future for him at a national level, at least through the Democrat Party party. But could you see a guy like him being like, well, you know what, they're all bananas and I'm going this way and then Trump bringing him in. Of course you could see it. Kelly says we have Charlie Kirk, TP USA going to colleges, but we need someone going to talk with older people and doing what Charlie does. They are so misinformed because of the news. What? Who can we send? I would love to do that. I think that's a great idea. I love old people. I love Cocoon, I love Golden Girls. Other old things. The movie battery is not included. Did you ever see that with old people? I like Cocoon too. No, I like old people in general. And you can learn a lot from old people. But you are right, partly because of the way the news has worked for so long and the way technology changed. Imagine you're a 75 year old person, like everything is so different than it was 20 years ago, and you're still somewhat reliant on a bunch of stuff that's been lying to you. It's very hard to extricate yourself out of that. And I suspect there'll be some version of that in 27 years when I'm 75. Right. Like there'll be something that'll have so radically changed that maybe I won't be as hip and cool and on it as I am right now. I know that's hard for you guys to believe, but it is possible. And what I would hope is at that point, some younger person who maybe has a better handle on what's going on will take me aside and try to explain something to me and I'll say, get off my lawn. That's how life works. But yes, it is an interesting idea. Charlie goes to these places, talks to these young people, deprograms a whole bunch of them. As I mentioned earlier, I used to do a lot of these events with him and they were. They were wonderful, wonderful events. And Charlie is spectacular at it. But. But should someone be doing it? You know, I went to the Villages. That's like the retirement community where they're all having orgies outside of Orlando. I went there and I spoke. I like those people. You know, they have different loofah sponges in their bathrooms depending on what they're into sexually. Really? That's the Thing there. And gonorrhea. There was a huge gonorrhea outbreak. You know, they're still alive, but somebody could go in and talk to old people. I will. You know what? I'm going to call my AARP representative and see if we can get me on the circuit. Let's see. Joe says, do you plan on seeing Revenge of the Sith in theaters to celebrate the 20th anniversary? Well, of course. Of course, of course. I saw the original 20 years ago in 2005, midnight showing. I saw it in Times Square, New York City. I did stand up earlier in the night and then went to go see it with my buddy Mike. I actually, believe it or not, I'm such a dork. I had a Darth Vader helmet. I did. I really did. I bought a Darth Vader helmet at the Toys R Us in Times Square that day. I had a lightsaber. The whole. I was a dork. I was a dork. What can I tell you? I guess I was 28 years old. Revenge of the Sith is a wonderful, wonderful movie. You guys all know my thoughts about the prequels, that they're getting better and better over time. And yes, the acting was a little stiff. And he didn't. George didn't know exactly how to write the love story stuff. And unfortunately, Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin, not a great actor. But the story, the bulk of the story, which is obviously the story of how this young Anakin Skywalker ultimately becomes Darth Vader. But it really is a story about political power and the struggle in the Senate and that when you keep creating emergencies, that's what Palpatine first, as a senator, realized that if he kept creating emergencies, eventually he would be given all of the power to become the supreme leader of the universe and all of that stuff. It's an unbelievably great story. General Grievous in Sith is just a great character with his cough. They go into a little bit more in some of the other side cartoons about him and a whole bunch more. And I will. No. But the answer is no. I will not be going to the theater. I have it on, whatever I've got, and we watch it once a year and. Yeah, no. Do they have movie theaters anymore? I wouldn't even know where a movie. Yeah, I only go to the movie theaters for the new Downton Abbeys. That's my thing now. I'm waiting for Downton Abbey 3. Chris says, hi, Dave. Is it worth sacrificing Canada? If it means saving California, I'm Hoping you can find one positive way to look at it. I'm not totally sure what you mean by that, but if the question is something like, should we give away California to maybe bring in Canada? I don't know. I don't know. You know, Canada is huge. There's not a lot of people. It's got a lot of natural resources. I often talk about how I love so many Canadians, and I love just the Canadian. I love the Canadian sense of humor. And, like, there's something really great there, but it really has. There's an awful lot of jihadists there now. There really are. And I don't know, should we be importing that? And look, Cali's got all sorts of problems, too, and there's no indication that it's getting any better. But Cali, because it's so huge, has a ton of Republicans, too. I don't know that it's an either or. Maybe I'm not fully understanding the question properly. But what I would love to see more than anything else is get. I would like to see them get their houses in order. Like, does Cali have some chance to come back from the abyss? It's hard to see. But maybe. And Canada, who knows? Who knows? Maybe. Maybe, ironically, Trump will have saved Canada by galvanizing them into caring about Canada again because they thought evil Donald Trump in America was coming for them. They suddenly become proud enough to be Canadians again that they'll deal with their own jihad, hottest problem. And some of the other stuff that they've been doing, that seems highly unlikely to me, too, but we shall see. And I genuinely wish him a lot of luck. Eurasian says, what color is the door that injured Joseph's finger? Well, now, as you remember on the show earlier in the week, we played a video clip of Michelle Obama, who is very upset that nobody asks black people about their pain. And my associate producer, Joseph here, I brought him over and I asked him because no one asks a nice Chinese American about their pain. And he said that he had a little bit of a pinky injury and he was very, very hurt, and he hurt it in the door. So I asked him about his pain on the show. I think we have a picture of the bathroom door that apparently he hurt his. So that's the door right there that he apparently hurt his finger on. Although I've also been told that that whole thing was completely made up just to illustrate a. I would say marginal comedic a little bit there. James says, other than having nice legs, what worthwhile quality does Stephanie Rule possess? Now? Stephanie Rule. She's on msnbc, right? That's her right there. I don't know that I've ever seen her legs. That's the picture we're throwing up of her. You know, a lot of these women, you know, they. The way it's interesting the way they do it on cable news, because if you're a woman on cable news, you have to wear cutoffs and short skirts. So I'm sure her legs are seen under some of those tables. But, you know, they always have to show their shoulders. And it's kind of funny because the men are always in suits. No one wants to see Wolf Blitzer the part. This part. Can you imagine how white this part of Wolf Blitzer's arm is? Nobody wants to imagine if the men had to just come in and cut offs, like with just their arms. It would be Anderson Cooper. It would just be disgusting. But if you want to see a great set of gams on a chick, how about Tina Turner? We got a Tina Turner legs picture here. Yeah, look at those. That. But those are legs, baby. And she knew how to use them. Rancher. Rancher says, which character from the Sopranos do you think you're most like now? Of course, before I do anything. So we're re watching the Sopranos right now. We're about halfway through season five. There. There are the main. The main guys from Tony's crew. Of course, that's. That's got to be season one or two, because there's big over there. And he obviously. Spoiler alert gets. That's knocked out season finale, season two. That's all I'm gonna say. But it's 20 years ago. I think I'm allowed to give a spoiler alert. Before I give you my true answer, I will tell you that on this Saturday, it is the 91st birthday of Frankie Valli. And as you know, last month we interviewed Frankie Valli in Fort Myers and we are putting up our interview with Frankie Valli, which we really built out into more of a. It's more of a like a mini document about his career and my affinity for Frankie in the four seasons and everything else. Frankie in season five debuts. He's a character in the Sopranos who's on the New York crew, which must have been tough for him because he's the Jersey boy, right? He's the original Jersey Boy. They throw him in the New York crew and he's in it for the last three seasons, basically. But the character that I'm probably most like, I think is Silvio. Do we have A picture of Silvio, because Silvio. So Silvio was. Tony's basically his number two. He was the guy that he was always turning to for advice. He was sort of calm and collected. You know, he had that crazy toupee. This is all my real hair. It's not a toupee. But there was something about him. Like if Tony just had a problem or anyone had a problem, he was always brokering peace with everybody. I think I do a little bit of that in the political and cultural world, you know, when I rock the. He was always known for wearing these very intense, high contrast suits. You know, dark shirt, dark. You know, I could, I could pull that off. Look at that head of hair, which is definitely not real. And that is. I'm totally blanking on the name of the actor, but he's Bruce Springsteen's like bass player or something. What's his name? He's a legend. Steve Van Zandt, right? Yeah. Pretty cool. So, yeah, he was like a peacemaker, basically and a trusted guy for Tony. Let's talk about Tax Network USA and more on the other side.

The Trump and RFK Jr are making food unaffordable for the everyday American. That's a good point. Right. So like we'll start getting some of these seed oils out of things and with that, so they'll be replaced obviously with olive oil and avocado oil, let's say in salad dressings things. We're going to get some of these dyes out and they're going to have to use some other things to replace that and all these things. And then is there a chance that certain things will cost a bit more for a little while until it scales? Yes, that's basic economics. But as more and more people realize that you should be a little bit more invested in your health and you should think about are you having. Why are you putting so much sucralose in your body. Why are you putting all of these artificial sweeteners? Why are you putting these seed oils and all these things in your body when there's better ways to do it? Ultimately, hopefully, if enough of us make changes, then, right, supply and demand, and then costs will start coming down. But yes, that will just be. It will be another thing. Like, if any price goes up for anything in terms of food, once they make some of these changes, yes, of course they will blame Trump, of course they will blame Bobby, et cetera, et cetera. But I would say the best thing that you could do as it pertains to any of these issues around food or anything else, try to buy as much whole food as possible. I don't necessarily mean shop at Whole Foods. It is not the cheapest, but if you buy whole foods instead of highly processed things, you will probably feel better, you'll probably lose a little bit of weight, you'll probably be poisoning yourself a little bit more. You'll probably actually be fuller longer because they're putting so many chemicals and things that make you hungry or make you want to eat more. I mean, read about some of the things that are in Pringles that literally encourage you to want more and more and more. It's why if you have one Pringle, you suddenly eat a can. There's an actual reason for that versus if you were to make chips out of a potato. Take a russet potato, put a little olive oil and salt and pepper on it, throw in your air fryer for a half hour, and you eat a couple chips from that thing. You could eat five chips and feel good. But for some reason, you can't do that with the Pringle. So I just think taking a little more responsibility and. Yes, well, they blame us all for will. They blame Trump and everybody else for all that, of course, but that's what they do. Glenn says, are there any countries you haven't visited that's on your bucket list? Yeah. Number one is Japan. We have been trying to figure out a way to get me to Japan for years. I have been offered by a friend of mine who has a supposedly spectacular place there that I can go. My time to really do personal travel, obviously, is August and summertime in Japan is pretty brutal. It's very, very hot and humid, so not ideal. So we're trying to figure out a way to maybe do a week's worth of shows from Japan. I think hopefully in 26 is the goal. But, oh, I think I've mentioned this before on the show, from 1985, I saw the back of a Nintendo cartridge and it said, made in Japan. And I was like, I have to go to this place. I just, yeah. And I just think culturally it would be interesting. I'd like to go Visit Okinawa, where Mr. Miyagi was from, obviously. I mean, there would be a lot of, a lot of things to do in Japan. And eat some sushi. I would try. You know what? Here's my commitment to you. I will try the special fish. You know, the special fish that they, they have to cut a certain way. And if they don't cut it right, you will die. I will try the fish, actually. You'll try the fish and then if it works out for you, then I'll try the fish. Shelley says, read that. Scott Jennings is thinking of running for the Senate McConnell seat in Kentucky. He's waiting to hear from Trump before he throws his hat in the race. Have you heard that rumor? I have heard that rumor from a couple people. You know, look, this is one of those interesting ones. First off, McConnell obviously is not functioning. I mean, it's just entered a Biden level of ridiculousness. He's had these freeze ups and confusions and all of those things. He's been in power way too long. He's wildly against Trump, which is like he's ruining his own legacy for conservatives and Republicans and all that stuff. Should Scott Jennings jump in? I mean, look, this is where everybody has to kind of figure out their lane. Like, I've had a lot of people over the years ask me to get involved in politics. I had a whole bunch of people that wanted me to get involved in politics and even run for governor when I was in California. I've had people ask me even in the last two months. I'm talking about like legit people that went to Santa. This steps away, what I consider running like. And there's all sorts of other little things that have popped up over time or just get involved with administrations and things of that matter. I think that my best skills are doing this right, communicating these ideas, doing it in a funny way, hopefully making things a little less hysterical and giving people a good sense of what's going on in the world and enjoying myself while I'm doing it. Scott Jennings has found such a niche. I mean, that's the thing. I didn't know who Scott Jennings was probably a year ago ago. And now we play clips of the guy three, four times a week. Right. He's done an incredible job in some sense. It's A very easy job because they put him against such floundering fools. But he's a really, really good communicator. He's a, he's not, you know, you can see this isn't a guy that was like I've got to be a TV star. He's just a guy who can calmly explain the issues as they are. That happens to translate quite well on television when you're dealing with a bunch of craziest disease. So is it necessary that it could be him? Could they find someone else? I don't know. They'll have to decide. But I, I think, I think if he ran he would be a good candidate and I think if he stays, he will be a good, you know, TV correspondent. Cool Bomb says, have you found a good doctor whose views are in line with yours? You know, that is a great, great question and it, it really is tricky. We, you know, you guys know a bit about my health journey and the way we try to eat and you know, I'm doing stem cells and doing Carnivore and I'm doing a lot of different things by the way. I'm basically, you know, pretty much six weeks from completely ripping my knee apart, 15 micro tears and seriously mangling my shoulder with a huge tear. And I did stem cells. I'm basically ready to play. I've got Joey doing. I think we're going to do it next week. We're going to get back out on the court and we're going to tape it as I just do a couple exercises, basketball exercises to get back in. And then I'll be out on the court and we may tape my actual debut with my weekly crew. And then we did a documentary around getting the stem cells. And then I'm gonna bring the doctor in here because I do think there's just so many amazing things. The idea that you can heal yourself with what is in your body already. They took fat from my back and created the juice basically with the stem cells that they then injected in my knee to get my knee better when I thought I was never gonna play ball again. And I'm basically, two weeks ago I was already shooting around, if not even more than that at this point. Point. So in terms of a doctor, I've found certain doctors like this stem cell doctor who I've mentioned we have a, I, I'd say a pretty good doctor for the kids. You know, we're, I don't, I can, I will tell you this. I don't have a regular doctor that I turn to right now that I. That I personally turn to right now that. That I love. You know, I do get blood work and all that stuff done every year. I just did it. I think I mentioned this. I did it about six months ago because I was getting. It was for life insurance purposes, and I was a little concerned because I hadn't had blood work done in a little bit, and my stuff came back great. And I was concerned because of the amount of meat that I eat and salt because of Carnivore, and my stuff came back really great. You just never know if someone's got a great. I would like a functional medicine doctor. I want someone who thinks a little bit outside of the box. But if you've got someone in the Miami area, I would definitely be willing to listen. Sarah says I'm getting married in just eight short weeks. Let's hear your best marriage and parenting advice. Well, first off, congratulations, Sarah. That is wonderful. That's what it's all about. My best marriage advice is just, like, just keep trying to make each other laugh. That is it. That is it. Like, still the best joy to me during the day outside of the kids is like, if I can just still make David laugh. Like, if I just say something and make him laugh, it's like, wow, he still gets a kick out of me. That's amazing. And that goes both ways. And maybe my love language, really? David always tells me my love language, which is comedy, right? Like, that's how I'm able to, like, be my, like, realist self with him. That may not be your thing, but, like, I think. I guess it's really. Just make sure you get a kick out of each other. Like, you will be annoyed with each other at times. You will be tired, especially once you have kids. All of those things, obviously. But just make sure that you remember, why the hell did you fall in love with this person in the first place? Why do you want to do this adventure together with them and just get a kick out of them one way or another, even when it's hard to. And that. That is definitely the challenge. Parenting advice. Rest up, Rest up. It's exhausting. Like, especially, you know, we got two young kids here that want to climb and wrestle and chase and throw and destroy and all those things. Like, but it's fun, man. When they start just talking more and you suddenly hear phrases out of nowhere that you're like, how did you possibly know that? And then, you know, we took them to the beach last week and building sandcastles and digging holes and talking about the birds and the animals and the shells. It just doesn't get better than that. So you're going to have a ball. Congratulations. Last question, Rich. Will we get a return of another panel show? Interesting question, Rich. So we did have a panel show about a year ago, long story short, that disappeared. I don't want to give away too much, but we actually have been working on something for about a year and it's been big. We have not launched anything new here in terms of a separate show in a long time. We've expanded what we're doing with, you know, some out of studio stuff and things like that. And I've mentioned these, you know, we did our arc mini documentary. We did the Dave's Cooking, the tomahawk steak. We're making the mini dock around Frankie Valley that I talked about. But yes, we have something cooking. It is coming very soon. It's big. It's not just me. It's going to be fun. It's going to be a little bit different, not so political. And I wasn't planning on talking about it today, but the question was there so you got the answer. Reminder. I will be at the University of Austin on May 13. It's mostly for students, but I think they have about 50 tickets for I guess what they call regular citizens. Also on May 7th I will be at the Biden center of Economics at the University of Delaware, which I think is open to the public if I'm not mistaken. And then I've got a couple other. We have a lot of travel stuff coming but we're going to be doing shows in some other cities, some other countries and much more coming up soon. So we'll have more on that. It's Friday, so no post game show. I thank you for watching. Have a great weekend. See you on Monday.
