Dave Rubin
Guys, I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin Report on location in Brisbane, Australia. It's October 27, 2025. And because I'm actually in the future in this part of the country, apparently we've just completed our Brisbane show. I'm sure it was absolutely amazing. I may or may not be on a plane back to America and a plane, apparently I'm live tomorrow because Phoenix will not give me the day off. We've had an incredible trip here. It really has been 12, 13 days of just pure joy bouncing across the country and meeting you guys and doing the live shows and a couple private events and at the Consilium Conference and a whole bunch more. It's really just been wonderful. I have a lot to talk about when we get back to America and catch you guys up because it's so interesting. One of the things that I love about traveling the world is going to these different countries. And just a couple that I've been to in the last few years, whether it is Israel or it's Hungary or it's the UK or it's right here in Australia, seeing how many of the big issues, the real big issues, which at the moment are mostly, I would say, immigration issues related to culture and will the west survive, how they transcend borders completely. It's ironic they transcend borders completely that all of these countries are dealing with the same things. Americans, what me, what does it mean to be an American, Australian, what does it mean to be Australian, etc. Etc. And how will you, how will you defend your country and will you fight for your country and your values and all of those things? So it's really just been absolutely, absolutely wonderful here. And as I said, we will be back live in studio in the free state of Florida in Miami tomorrow. And let's just dive in on everything that's going on in the world right now. Most of it has to do with what I can only describe as a horrific impending disaster in the once great city of New York, a city that I spent most of my formative adult years in, which appears to be on the verge of electing a socialist slash communist Marxist, slash little bit of jihad. Zorhan Mandami. Let's start with Bill Marshau because it is Monday, but we're not going to throw it to the intro today. He had a former Biden comms director on the show. Her name is Kate Bedingfield. And they got into how that. How Mamdami is a dual citizen with Uganda, which I suppose in itself is just fine. Although he does seem to want to import a lot of Ugandanese ideas here into America. But that in Uganda they still have the death penalty for killing gays. Now this is a guy who's always out there with the gays. He never invites them over for his, you know, mosque parties. But he's out there with the gays. He loves the gays. Should he renounce his citizenship? Listen, the issue now that Andrew Cuomo is bringing up in New York is.
- [03:28]
Guest/Interviewer
That he is a Ugandan citizen.
- [03:30]
Dave Rubin
Uganda's a country where they kill homosexuals.
- [03:34]
Guest/Interviewer
So somebody who is a dual citizen can't be mayor of New York. Or I would renounce, if I was the dual citizen with a country whose policy, government policy was we kill homosexuals. Yeah, I would renounce that citizenship.
- [03:49]
Dave Rubin
I don't. And to not. And he also, I think that is.
- [03:56]
Guest/Interviewer
Buying into a fear framework that is not.
- [03:59]
Dave Rubin
Fear of killing homosexuals.
- [04:00]
Guest/Interviewer
Not good for the country.
- [04:01]
Dave Rubin
It's not good for the country. You shouldn't be afraid of that, the way that fear of killing homosexuals. Yeah, well done, Bill. I mean, this clown who worked for Biden, she was a comms director for a man who wasn't even checked in mentally the entire time. But it just goes to show. It just goes to show. These lefties put politics over everything. You worked for the Biden administration. You had the trans people dancing outside the White House. You chopped off all the kids genitals. You were all about the entire queen thing. Right now a guy's coming in who is from a place where they kill gays at the mosque that he prays at. They don't do gay weddings. Again, I'm not for forcing it. I'm just exposing his hypocrisy. His imam was a co conspirator in the 1993 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. We can go on and on here with all of his friends and pals and cohorts and comrades, as they say. We can do all that. But it's so interesting that what heard gut feeling is that you're just playing into fear about this guy. But Bill is right. This is the tough part. Of defending liberal principles. Bill is defending liberal principles. He would prefer that gays not be killed. Right. Oddly, the progressive wing will defend a guy who is pretty much okay with that. And the reason I'll say he's okay with it is unless you can show me a video of him saying, I. All right, you know what? I don't want to give up my citizenship. That's a bit much. And I can understand that. He's from that country. I assume he still has family there. Think he got married there. He doesn't want to give up citizenship. But how about condemn the Ugandan government? Is there any video of that? Probably not, because then he knows if he goes to Uganda, he might get beheaded. Uganda be kidding me. All right, here's Zorhan himself. And as always, he's mostly concerned about the wrong things.
- [05:49]
Guest/Interviewer
To be Muslim in New York is to expect indignity. But indignity does not make us distinct. There are many New Yorkers who face it. It is the tolerance of that indignity that does. For as long as we have lived, we have known that no matter what anyone says, there are still certain forms of hate acceptable in this city today. Islamophobia is not seen as inexcusable. One can incite violence against our mosques and know that condemnation will never come. Elected officials in this city can sell T shirts calling for my deportation without fear of any accountability. The consequences are stark. More than 1 million Muslim new Yorkers exist in this city only to be made to feel as if guests in our own home. No more.
- [06:37]
Dave Rubin
Let me get my words right here. I'm writing out a few things. This guy is an absolute scumbag, and every single thing he says is a complete and utter lie. And you better realize it soon. New York, the clock is freaking ticking. Do you hear the ticking? It is getting louder and louder. First off, Muslims in New York expect dignity. What are you talking about? Muslims in New York have the same exact rights as everybody else. You pal around with people who literally call for genocide. You will not condemn, globalize the intifada, blah, blah, blah. So you're. It's just pure nonsense. Also people selling T shirts to kick you out the T shirts. If the T shirt said kick out and kill all Muslims, that would be an infringement on the First Amendment because it would be a direct call for violence. Saying that you should be booted out of the country. I don't like you. You should be booted out of the country. You are here to destroy America. We have free speech and free expression and people are allowed to wear that T shirt. But he desperately wants to be the victim, right? Born with a silver spoon, got the lo fi music, got the soft lens, got all the money, has all his fake accents depending on who he's talking to. And he's also the victim. And also as it pertains to Islamophobia, which is a completely nonsensical made up word, a fear, what is a phobia? A phobia is an irrational fear. If you are gay, what should you think of Islam? Do you think that's irrational? If you are a woman, what should you think of Islam? If you are a non believer, what should you think of Islam? If you're an ex Muslim, what should you think of Islam? If you're a Muslim who just, you know, wants to go out and have a good time, what should you think of Islam? Are any of these things illogical fears? It is complete and utter nonsense. It is a. It is a word. Oh, man. What's the Christopher Hitchens line? Can someone Google it? Christopher Hitchens on Islamophobia. He's got a great line on it. But it is a word that is basically designed to break brains. I think he says something like, Islamophobia is a word designed for morons. We've almost got it here. Watch this. We are fact checking live. I will get the exact quote. A word created by fascists and used by cowards to silence morons. Something to that effect that I basically. Yeah, that's it. I want to give credit to a woman by the name of Amy Mack. She's on Twitter and you should follow her if she, if you don't. Because she has been tracking what's going on with these false cries around Islamophobia and radical jihad and the rest of it for years and years and years. And this tweet popped up. She back in February of 2020. Remember, where are we right now? We're at the end of October in 2025. But in February 2020 five years ago, she was already tracking and predicting what was going to happen with Zorhan Mumdami. Listen to this. Threat alert. New York Democrat Socialists of America leader Zorhan Zorham Kwame Mamdami is a Muslim immigrant from Uganda who is running for the New York State Assembly District 36. Mamdami describes how Muslims are the victims of 911 and continuously pushes unproven claims of discrimination. She was absolutely right about him then. And of course the clip that you've probably seen already. So we're not even gonna bother Showing it here is that Mamdani now is out there with, you know, these crocodile tears claiming that after 911 his aunt was afraid to wear a hijab in the subway. Now I was in New York during 911 and you know what happened immediately? For weeks after 911 everyone ran around making sure that nobody was bigoted or hateful. There was more of a concern for the Muslim community on 912 than there was on 9 10. I assure you about that. That doesn't mean there wasn't individual act racism. That is part of the human condition which they would love to wipe out because they are not. They're not thrilled with the human condition as it generally stands. But he. Anyway, he basically said his aunt. And this whole story sounds fabricated. There's a lot of reasons to believe it's fabricated. But he was crying about his aunt who couldn't get on a subway after because she was getting mean looks. I thought Scott Jennings on CNN had quite a good take on that.
- [10:43]
Guest/Interviewer
Want to speak to the memory of my aunt who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab.
- [10:56]
Dave Rubin
Today he has this press conference. I. I watched a chunk of it. I didn't hear any words for the victims of 9 11. But he found the real victim, his aunt is he. You know, I mean, the victims of 911 were in the Twin Towers. Those were the victims. The implication here that he has to answer for the terrorists who attacked 9 11. No, I think if you're going to.
- [11:17]
Guest/Interviewer
Have a press, if you're going to.
- [11:17]
Dave Rubin
Run for mayor of New York City or I have any position in New.
- [11:21]
Guest/Interviewer
York City and you're going to talk.
- [11:22]
Dave Rubin
About 911 or invoke 911, you darn.
- [11:25]
Guest/Interviewer
Sure better start with the people who.
- [11:26]
Dave Rubin
Died in the Twin Towers. That's what I think. And he didn't do that. Yeah, that's right. Because he's a leftist. And what do leftists do? Victimhood is at the top of the hierarchy. So he's trying to use guilt, unearned guilt and victimhood. He's trying to extract the emotional price from the voters.

Dave Rubin
It seem like somehow he and his aunt was the victim, not the thousands of people who died. And by the way, because he is for current jihad.
- [12:27]
Guest/Interviewer
He is.
- [12:28]
Dave Rubin
He is a Hamas supporter because he is for that stuff. There's every reason to believe he was for the 911 attacks. I'm sorry, there's. And the fact that oh by the way, his imam was the co conspirator, an unindicted co conspirator in the 1993 World Center Trade Trade Trade. World Trade center attacks. I don't like this guy very much. Good luck, New York. Let's talk about crypto.com for a second. And then there's an even. Well, I can't say he's worse than mom dummy, but there's a guy who I'd say is mom dummy light. No. Or he's worse. I don't know. I really. Well, we'll talk about Gavin Newsom in a second. Cryptocurrency isn't just the future. It's already reshaping the world of finance.

And yes, in case you didn't realize it, he is running for president in 2028.
- [13:59]
Guest/Interviewer
You're not afraid to go into red states? No. When I saw you slinging shots behind the coffee bar, I thought this guy might run for president. I have no idea. The idea that a guy who got 960 on his SAT that still struggles to read scripts, that was always in the back of the classroom. The idea that you even throw that out is in and of itself extraordinary. Who the hell knows? I'm looking forward to who presents themselves in 2028 and who meets that moment. And that's the question for the American people they'll make after the 2026 midterms. You're going to give it serious thought? Yeah. I'd be lying otherwise. I'd just be lying. And I can't do that.
- [14:42]
Dave Rubin
First off, I would say to that interviewer, clean the jizz off your lips when you're interviewing that guy. I mean, just awful. Like, abs if the jet lag 12 days later, that's one thing. Number two, the question for the American people is who can they vote for? Who will defend America? Who will keep people free? Who cares about the Constitution, the bill, rights. Who cares about individual rights, American values, Western freedoms, et cetera, et cetera? Nothing about. And you only got a 960 on your SAT. You're a couple years older than me. I got a 1200, which is pretty good. Not even that great. They've made it subsequently stupider. So, you know, whatever. Like, he's just absolutely awful. But you might say, why? Why did he only get a 960? Why was he in the back of the room? And it's because he grew up eating macaroni and cheese and bread.
- [15:33]
Guest/Interviewer
But also, you know, it was also about paying the bills, man. And it was just like, hustling and. And so I was out there kind of raising myself, turning on the tv, started, you know, just getting obsessed, you know, sitting there with the, you know, the Wonder Bread and five stacks of, you know, like, the white stack, five story, come on, crap, macaroni and cheese, you know? Then this student that was student in the back with his head down all of a sudden started throwing the baseball a little faster than everyone else and started, you know, make a few free throws because I was sitting there practicing 500 of them every damn night. And in high school, I look up in the stands, my dad's back up there, okay? And it's like, man. And then he's bringing his friends, and you're captain of the team, and you're like, geez. You know? And it just saved me, and it got me into college.
- [16:25]
Dave Rubin
God, they are all so inauthentic. The fact that a billionaire who's orange with that crazy ha is more authentic than literally every single Democrat will never cease to amaze me. So they were struggling to pay the bills, and he had to turn on the TV with the Wonder Bread and the stack, and he ate macaroni and cheese. Oh, not macaroni and cheese. Like, I eat half the kids macaroni and cheese. Everybody loves macaroni and cheese. That's number one, right? Like, if you don't like macaroni and cheese, something's wrong with you. That's number one. But also, pretend he wants you to think that he grew up poor. Well, it turns out that his father worked for Getty Oil and his grandfather. Gavin Newsom's grandfather was an oil tycoon. Okay, how about this image from Gavin's high school? Look at Ga. Oh, he looks so poor and hungry. And is that. Am I looking close enough? Is that macaroni and cheese off his lapel over there? What's going on over there with that scarf? And he was the most stylish in all of high, all of high school as a senior, which, you know, the poorest kids are always considered the most stylish. Right? And of course this picture has been making the rounds. Look at this. I mean, this is wild. That is Gavin Newsom with a couple of his high school buddies in 1991 in the San Francisco Chronicle is doing a piece on the rich kids. Look at them. And you've got two of the Gettys. Have you ever been to the Getty Museum? Have you been to the Getty Villa in Malibu? This guy had a lot of money and he's hanging out with. I don't know if those are the grandkids or what, but like they fake everything. It's a completely made up construction because their ideas are bad. Here is example 32, 17 1B.
- [18:02]
Guest/Interviewer
All this anti woke stuff is just anti black, period, full stop. All the crt, esg, DEI stuff. That's all this is. It's this great purge and it's happening in real time. And I'm just, I'm sitting here and I feel like, you know, luckily I'm governor, but like we're not doing enough. We're not calling this out. We're not drawing a line here. And again, it's not about Democrats or Republicans. It's about who we've.
- [18:26]
Commercial Narrator
Right.
- [18:27]
Guest/Interviewer
Wrong, man.
- [18:27]
Commercial Narrator
Yeah, right.
- [18:28]
Guest/Interviewer
Goddamn wrong. Daylight and dark.
- [18:30]
Dave Rubin
Right and goddamn wrong. He is evil, whoever you are. That's what he's saying is it's not about that. It's whoever we are. I'm not you, brother. Okay? And I can pretend when I'm with black people to speak a little bit differently too. That which is another thing they all do. They code switch. They even have a term for it. We code switch. I'm with Asian people and I'm with them and I talk. I'm with black people. DEI is evil. All of the woke stuff is anti white racism. If you are looking at 10 resumes and people have equal qualifications and then you decide to bring their race into it or their genitals or whether they wear big furry hats while they're having sex, there's something wrong with you. Okay? You should be colorblind. All right, so you guys have instituted systemic racism and the fact that now he's still going for it now, which I do think is particularly interesting because a lot of us thought that, you know, we thought the kind of woke thing was dead. Now the mom dummy version is bringing it back with the dash and jihad, but now he's going all the way back to it. So they obviously are doing some testing within the Democrat party and people still want it. So if you are white, if you are straight, if you are sane, certainly if you're Jewish or anything else, you must leave the Democrat Party. You should have nothing to do with these people. And Gavin, by the way, if you believed any of it, you would not run for president. You would find a colored person. Cause that's what you think of them, really. You would find one of them and you would back them to run because you're a rich white guy who wants to pretend he's a poor guy. But you would give them the job. But we know you're not gonna do that. I thought this was pretty good. From Representative Mike Collins. This is unbelievable. Gavin Newsom gave 62,000 commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens and migrants. Every one of these jobs was taken from an American. And every one of these drivers puts the public at risk. It's unacceptable and dangerous. That is incredible. 62,000 illegals driving trucks. We showed you the video a couple days ago. There's been many instances of this where these guys then get out of state and they kill people on the road because they're drunk and or high on in other states. And that's the problem because, you know, we don't have walls that are separating the states, which I'm not necessarily calling for, although I would be for it with Florida involving a moat and a gator and all that kind of stuff. But this is what they are going to do. And they are and they simply are not going to stop. Everyone always asks, like, when, when does it end? Where is the bottom to this hole that is the Democrat Party? When does wokeness and leftism, when does it end? And right now we are seeing that it is genuinely a bottomless hole. It is just gonna keep going and going and going and going. Now that's not to say there aren't a few sane people in California, because there are. California, which even though it's a one party state, has probably the second most Republicans, if not the most Republicans in the country. Cuz it's such a freaking massive state. Former Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, here he is talking to Jake Tapper about what Newsom's trying to do with gerryman.
- [21:26]
Guest/Interviewer
Anything that is temporary with government is permanent. So in the year 2032, when the Independent Redistricting Commission is supposed to come back, they're going to say, wait a minute, there's still gerrymandering going on in Texas, there's still gerrymandering going on in Ohio. There's still gerrymandering going on in Florida. We have to continue with the gerrymandering. This is what's going to happen. They will find out an excuse. So therefore, I don't think it is temporary. So that's total fantasy. So the second thing is that you cannot cheat your way out of it. What they should do is. What the Democrats should do is they should outperform Trump. To me, it's all about competition creates performance.
- [22:09]
Dave Rubin
I think Arnold Schwarzenegger knows a little something about competition, Right? And of course, he's right. Everything that the government does is temporary until it is permanent. So there will always be another excuse. Oh, we fixed these districts and now you think the Independent Commission of California in 2032 is gonna be like, well, we got what we wanted, but we are the Independent Commission and now we're gonna redraw those maps because everything's fair? Of course not. It will just be a furthering of the tightening of the screws against everyone who doesn't bow to the system. So, Cali, good luck with all of that, but I would also say, America, good luck with all of that. Between the rise of Mamdani Newsom coming back there, there are dark, dark clouds on the horizon in many respects.

Dave Rubin
To the backdrop of all that, before we get too black pilled, let's talk about some of the good things that are happening right now. And you know I always try to talk about the good things. I know there's a lot of people on the right that don't talk about the good things and are trying to break your brains and make everything depressing and everything else. But Donald Trump continues to rack up win after win after win after win. And we have have to acknowledge it. We can't just make fun of these losers on the left. So listen to this from Fox News. Cambodia and Thailand on Sunday signed an expanded ceasefire deal that President Donald Trump helped broker over the summer, ending their broader conf ending their border conflict. Trump threatened higher tariffs against both countries to push them into agreeing to end the fighting, which left dozens of people dead and hundreds of thousands displaced. The agreement requires Thailand to release 18 Cambodian soldiers held prisoner and for both countries to begin removing heavy weapons from the border. We did something that allowed of people said couldn't be done, Trump said. And yes, this is once again Donald Trump using American influence. Not dropping bombs on people or making anyone live a different way, but using American influence in the most positive sense of that to get people to come to the table so that there is less violence, less displaced people and less war and death, et cetera, et cetera. Here's Donald Trump mocking the freaks over at the UN I won't forget that.
- [25:50]
Guest/Interviewer
Day because it was one of the first wars that I got involved in and I love doing it. I love it's One, it's like, I shouldn't say it's a hobby because it's so much more serious than a hobby, but it's something that I'm good at and it's something I love to do. The United nations should be doing this, but they don't do it. You know, they don't do it. They turned off my teleprompter when I made a speech. I had to make a speech without a teleprompter prompter. They're good at that. The escalator wasn't working too well. It came to a complete halt.
- [26:20]
Dave Rubin
I mean, even that, like, then he still has a sense of humor about these things. Yeah. At the General assembly, they turned his teleprompter off. Yeah. They literally turned the escalator off, as he is, as he and Melania got on there. And he's right. They're not good at making peace. They're actually really, really good at continuing the grift of war and siding with all the bad guys, always. And Donald Trump, I actually. Trump, I'll give you a little more credit than you give yourself. It is your hobby. Your hobby is actually making peace. Your hobby is the thing you love, which is bringing people to the table and figuring out how everyone can walk away from the table. Maybe not getting exactly what they wanted, but feeling good about whatever deal came to pass. Joseph pointed out to me that the guy's averaging one peace deal per month right now. He's been in office basically eight months. India, Pakistan, Congo, Rwanda, Israel, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Serbia, Kosovo, Israel, Hamas and Cambodia, Thailand. And here's the Prime Minister of Malaysia praising Trump.
- [27:16]
Guest/Interviewer
Thank you, President Donald Trump, for giving us this honour. And on behalf, of course, Malaysia and our colleagues in asean, I must thank you for your concern, for your empathy and for your commitment to support this peace deal. You personally did call both prime ministers to urge for a speedy peace settlement. The world needs leaders who promote peace strongly. And to achieve that, you have to break some rules, as you did today. When President arrived, he asked me to join him in the car. I said, that's against the security and protocol rules. And he was delighted to break the rules. And I. It was a nice ride, guys.
- [28:10]
Dave Rubin
I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I'm an expert in this part of the world and what it takes to make peace. But what you see right there out of the Prime Minister of Malaysia is, hey, Donald Trump thinks about things a little bit differently. And he sat down with us and he hopped in the car. And we talked about it and everybody's better off for that. And what do you think the world would be like right now if auto pen or cackling Kamala was in charge? Some of those deals that I just laid out right there, all of them would be raging. Obviously, like. Like, obviously, we'll have more on another part of the world where good things are happening in just a second. But first, CB Distillery.

All right, so we mentioned the other day that Japan has a new prime minister. It's the their first ever female prime minister, which does not really matter other than she is a badass chick who wants to keep Japan for Japanese people. She would like to kick out the people who have come who are trying to destroy her country. Her name is Sanai Takachi. And here she is saying the Japanese people, who also have a huge problem actually as it relates to population collapse because they're getting married way later, way later, they're having way, way less kids. There's a huge cliff that they are coming close to when it comes to population that they should start banging again. Based on the understanding that Japan's biggest problem is population decline, we will establish a system to consider measures against population decline, including policies for children and child rearing. It is true that given the labor shortages caused by population decline, there are fields that require foreign workers. Inbound tourism is also important. However, it is also a fact that some illegal acts or rule violations by certain foreigners have created situations where the public feels anxiety or a sense of unfairness. While this is clearly distinct from discrimination, the government will respond firmly to such acts. So you get what she's doing there. She's saying, we don't want to be bigoted. We understand that not everyone who has come here is committing illegal acts, but we know that some of them are. We're going to deal with that. And also we should be reproducing. And by the way, we do have labor issues. She's also dealing with it on the reality front. We have labor issues. They want to deal with that. But as you guys know, the robots are coming. I think the Japanese are pretty good when it comes to technology and robots, and that will all be solved too. So if they were just to let in thousands and thousands of people just to have their labor jobs, well, when the robots replace them, then guess what? You have all these people on the dole and or seriously angry at you. So, yes, it is good to defend your culture, it's good to defend your borders. It's good to have kids, it's good to reproduce. It's good to be proud of your country and where you're from and all of those things.

And you know, first of all, most people don't have careers. They have jobs. And those are very different things. But you're not a very happy camper, so to speak, if you're 45 and you have no one. And it doesn't go upwards after that. So don't miss it. Little children pay you back immensely if you have a good relationship with them. You know, if you're on their side and encourage them because they're an unconditional source of joy and love.

And that right there, as someone that's been away from my kids for 12 days now, is what it's all about. Right. And that also is what sits beneath politics. We talk every about everything from the political lens usually. Right. So there you have the. The Japanese Prime Minister saying we have to have kids again. And there's sort of like a political reason we have to repopulate. We have to have jobs, blah, blah, blah. But then Jordan gives you the most human reason to do that. And, and it's also just what we know. It's like what you fundamentally know to be true. We all just know it. So to tie this all together is the last clip that we'll show you while we are in Australia. And then, as I said, I will be back live from Miami tomorrow. I'm sure severely jet lagged, but we'll do the best we can. I want to show you this small bite from one my talks at the Consilium conference. The topic was what's going on on the right right now? Some of the fracturing on the right. And what I was trying to lay out was the idea that we've got to keep this tenuous wide tent together. There's a way to do it. It's going to be tricky. There are all sorts of forces trying to take it out, but that's the way that not only MAGA will continue, but an America that you and I love will continue. So we're going to show you a short bite right here. And the full thing is up already on our YouTube and rumble channel, which we will link to in the description above. Above or below? I should say. Well, I'm on the other side of the world, so I'm not sure if it's above or below. I think it's down there. And we'll see you back in America. We were the shining beacon in the world where everyone from literally every corner on earth wanted to come to, to make a better life, and largely did that. But of course, the exchange in that is that you're gonna have people that have different religious beliefs, you're gonna have people that have different philosophic beliefs, that are gonna have different lifestyles and different foods and music and all of these things. And America much, much better than Europe integrated these people properly. And that is the problem of liberalism. And if the conservatives and the MAGA movement is to last, they are going to have to pick which way are we going to go on this? Are we going to be an America that is going to lead the world, that is going to defend liberal Western values, individual rights, universal human rights, or are we going to do something that is different? So Trump is basically trying to hold a very tenuous position. How do we balance all of this, these things, and keep, keep the widest tent possible? I honestly don't know if it's possible. What I've said to my audience all the time is. And what I've said to the Trump people and anyone who will listen is that I will stake out the position to be on the liberal side of the MAGA movement, and as long as the people to the further right of that are willing to live in the same country as me, then we're going to be okay and we can win an awful lot of elections and we're fixing some of the problems. Problems for the first time in America in a long, long time.
