Dave Rubin
All right, everybody, do not adjust your screens. Don't freak out. I am Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin Report. And yes, I am in a hotel room. Because right now, as we tape this, it is 2:55pm on Thursday, October 16, here in Melbourne. Not Melbourne. It's been made very clear to me and I'm gonna have to really be very careful about that over the next few days. Melbourne, Australia, you are watching this at 11:00am Eastern Time back in the States to get here. We left on the 5th, 15th, 14th, we left on the 14th, we left on Tuesday the 14th at 6:35pm Took a six hour flight to San Francisco, land there a little bit after midnight, three hour layover there, then get on a 15 hour and one minute flight. They were really big on telling you that the extra minute, it was all about that 15 hour, 1 minute flight and then a 15 hour time shift into the future. So we left at 6.30pm on Tuesday. We arrived here about 10am on Thursday. So I am reporting to you from the future right now. Do you have a good handle on all of that? Okay. Our live show in Melbourne, which is almost sold out, is on Saturday. You can get tickets. Daverubin.com events will also be in Sydney and in Brisbane. And we just got here. I'm slightly jet lagged. Let's see if we can do a show. We're mostly gonna talk about leftist craziness and we're gonna be doing as many shows. Not only am I doing these theater shows, of course, but we're going to be doing as many shows on the fly, hotel rooms, kangaroo pouches, wherever we have to do them, that's where we're going to do them from. And let's do it. So Cheryl Hines. You guys know Cheryl Hines? What you should know Cheryl Hines from actually is Curb youb Enthusiasm. You may know her now as Bobby Kennedy, RFK Jr. S wife. But she's a really fantastic actress who's been in the biz for decades at this point. And she is now making the rounds because she has a new book about her career and life called Unscripted. It has nothing to do really with Bobby Kennedy's, with RFK's political positions or his. You know, it's a little bit, it's about their marriage, so it's a little bit about that evolution, but it really is not about him. But she's making the rounds on TV talking about the book, as one would do when one has a book. And she went on the View and you can imagine what they turned it into.
Sunny Hostin
The problem, respectfully, is that your husband is the least qualified department, Department of Health and Human Services head that we've had in history.
Cheryl Hines
I do not know that.
Sunny Hostin
I think that's a very dangerous, dangerous.
Cheryl Hines
Why is he less qualified than an economist?
Sunny Hostin
I think he is less qualified than.
Cheryl Hines
He spent his career studying toxins, studying people's health, fighting for one guy who was using ground up for his job.
Dave Rubin
Okay, so even though I'm thousands of miles away, I can still get a headache while watching Sunny Hostin and the Ladies at the View. Yeah. First off, she's on the book tour. Now, of course, she knew this was gonna happen, but she's on the book tour to talk about the book. Not really about rfk for Sonny to come in and he's unqualified. This guy has been fighting big pharma for his entire life. He also wrote a best selling book. We can check if it was on the New York Times bestseller list. Not that that even means anything, but why don't we check anyway? His book about Anthony Fauci during COVID and all of that stuff. He has been trying to get dyes out of children's cereal. He has been trying to figure out why kids have insane rates of autism that keep going up. And does it have anything to do with the vaccine schedules? There's this whole thing now that he led as it pertains to pregnant women taking Tylenol. And does that have anything to do with autism? What else? The seed oil stuff and getting all these restaurants that are now frying in beef tallow again, which is way healthier. It's not even that. This guy is just quite qualified. Like, I get it. I get what Sonny's saying. Like, he doesn't walk around in a white lab coat all day. Like he's done actual things in life, but not only is he actually qualified, but he has a track record of caring about people's health. Right. And yes, it was on the New York Times bestseller list, which is completely fabricated, but whatever. Let's go with a little bit more. When they started talking about Anthony Fauci.
Sunny Hostin
He has also spread a lot of misinformation, a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion. And I think it's just a dangerous thing. And I say it with the utmost respect. Some of it's good and some of it's not.
Cheryl Hines
That's. Listen, we all have different views here.
Dave Rubin
Yes.
Cheryl Hines
And when you say, you know, misinformation, disinformation. We could go back to Covid when.
Sunny Hostin
He'S connecting Circumcision to autism.
Cheryl Hines
May I finish, please? When people. Fauci people were saying, when you get the vaccine, you cannot transmit Covid. It will stop Covid. And that was disinformation, misinformation.
Dave Rubin
We were also still learning about. It was a novel virus you'd never encountered before.
Cheryl Hines
Right.
Ilhan Omar
Because now the doctors will acknowledge that.
Sunny Hostin
And Dr. Fauci has a medical sign.
Cheryl Hines
They were censoring Bobby because Bobby said, where's the science to show us this? And there wasn't any.
Dave Rubin
Man, you think Cheryl was like, I would do anything to be arguing with Larry David right now. Like, first off, the way they're so dismissive of her and Whoopi, like, let her talk. And it's just Cheryl's completely right. Completely right. We've shown you the clips a million times. We're not gonna show you all of the compilations that we could show you right now. You know, all the times that Fauci got up there. If you get Covid, if you get the vaccine, if you get Covid, if you get the vaccine, you're not gonna get nor transmit Covid. Which then the President Biden then repeated. Then everybody on msnbc, Rachel Maddow, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Him telling people that he didn't say close down the schools. And then all of the videos of saying that the schools should be shut down. Him telling people in private emails that masks don't work while he us all to mask. Like, we can do all of this stuff, but it's more about the dismissive nature that they talk to him about. What does she say there? Sonny says the misinformation that her husband shared, which again, I don't know what misinformation. We can do all the Fauci misinformation all day long. Don't know what we can do on Bobby, but okay, that's one. The chaos. What chaos has Robert F. Kennedy caused? What chaos? I don't know. Is something happening in the states that I've missed while I was on a long flight? But then at the end of the day, she says, what does she say to him? We have the utmost respect for you. We wanna treat you respectfully. And it's like, well, then you could try doing that. That might be interesting. Let's do one more from Cheryl.
Cheryl Hines
Even baby formula. Now we're finding out there's arsenic, there's lead. So the question is, who is running HHS when they allowed lead and arsenic in a baby formula? How is that person not doing it?
Sunny Hostin
Well, two wrongs don't Make a right.
Dave Rubin
No.
Cheryl Hines
Well, I'm saying Bobby is the one getting.
Dave Rubin
I know.
Sunny Hostin
For him on that. Yeah.
Cheryl Hines
Thank you.
Sunny Hostin
Can we clear one thing before you go?
Dave Rubin
Yes, yes. She's just had it with the two wrongs don't make a right, Joy. That is not the point. And again, what is it that Bobby did wrong? Why is it that you ladies are so insistent that we not look into why we are sick? Why do you not care that rates of autism have gone up? Why do you want to go after the wife of the guy who's trying to figure out all of these things? You know, of all of you, of all of you, Joy, you're the worst one there because you're a comic too. Cheryl, she's not a stand up, but you know, she's worked with stand ups and she got famous because of Curb youb Enthusiasm. It's like there's so many more interesting things you could talk to her about and you wouldn't do this with anyone else but you guys. There's Trump Derangement Syndrome. You guys have Kennedy Derangement Syndrome. It is rather, rather extraordinary. And I just want to show you one more. We've shown you this a couple times, but this, I think this sums up like this is the guy that they think is evil.
Zorhan Mamdani
For 20 years I've gotten up every morning on my knees and prayed that God would put me in a position where I could end the childhood chronic disease epidemic in this country. On August 23rd of last year, God sent me President Trump and he gave.
Dave Rubin
Me really think how crazy this is, right? Like, this is a guy who's wanted to end the chronic disease epidemic. This is a guy whose last name is Kennedy, who was running as a Democrat, who stood for even now does not agree with all of the conservative talking points or all of the MAGA stuff or anything else. But then saw the writing on the wall, realized what was going on here, saw how hysterical the Dems had become, how they were so in bed with the machine and the media and all of those things. And as I said to him the first time I had him on the show, which has got to be almost three years ago now. I don't know if you will be a Republican at the end of this, but I know you won't be a Democrat. And Cheryl, I'm pretty sure you're maybe still a Democrat or whatever. Probably not after sitting with the ladies of the View. But like, that's not gonna hold much more either. Like there is no point in being in that party. We'll have more on that in just a second. But that they want that guy to be framed as bad. That is, it's the most perfect example of where they see goodness. They automatically think it's bad. And everywhere that there is bad, which in many cases is in the city that they filmed that show in New York City, they think that it is good. We will talk about that actually right now. Why don't we do that right now? Because Zorhan Mandami is the communist who likely, unless the polls are completely out of whack at like historical levels, I think by like 40% at this point, unless they are completely, completely wrong, Zorhan Mamdami is going to be elected the mayor of New York City. We are going to have a full on communist. It doesn't matter if you call him a communist, a Marxist. He proclaims, self proclaims he's a socialist. He doesn't even bother really with Democrat socialists anymore. A little bit here and there. It doesn't matter. Whatever he is, he is a collectivist and he is for giant government where they can promise you a lot and they will take from those people, even though those people keep moving and eventually they'll run out of people to take from and all the bad things that come with communism. Anyway, it looks like he's about to be mayor of New York City. And he did a campaign rally with Letitia James. That's right. Letitia James, who spent years trying to put Donald Trump in jail. Donald Trump in jail for no reason. And now is in her own little problematic situation as it pertains to mortgage fraud, which is basically the same thing she was going after for Trump. They are now campaigning together.
Letitia James
We stand here today. We stand here today knowing that, knowing that the persecution of Attorney General. The persecution of Attorney General Tish James. Tish James is a reflection. Is a reflection of a broken system.
Zorhan Mamdani
Of a broken system.
Letitia James
A system that empowers. A system that empowers lawless billionaires, Lawless billionaires to rule, rule alongside corrupt politicians. A system that gave us a system that gave us the perversion of justice, an attack on democracy. And Donald Trump himself.
Zorhan Mamdani
And Donald Trump himself.
Letitia James
We know. We know that this is. And this is not just a story.
Dave Rubin
Okay, so first off, Leticia was just out of frame right there. They did a bunch of things together over the last couple days. Why is it that they talk at these rallies the exact same way the Hamas people do? Remember the rally a couple days ago, just as the hostages were about to be released and the Quote, unquote, genocide was wrapping up, which you'd think they'd all be happy about. Remember the guy that was up there right outside the Fox Building, calling, we want more and louder. October 7th. Why do they do that chanting thing? But we could do that. Could you guys. Would you guys work with me for a second and do a little chanting here? I want to get it right. Let me. Let me get it right. Zorhan Mandami is a fucking communist. Is a fucking communist. Piece of shit. Piece of shit. Who, if becomes mayor of New York, who, if becomes mayor of New York, will destroy the once greatest city, will destroy the once greatest city the world has ever known. The world has ever known. Wow, everyone's getting Australian Wagyu tonight. That was incredible. Why do they do that? Why do they do that? They are just all awful robot clones of each other. Here's Letecia herself at Zorhan's rally.
Zorhan Mamdani
You see, I know what it feels like to be attacked for just doing your job. But I also know what it feels like to overcome adversity. And so I stand on top of solid rock, and I will not bow. I will not break. I will not bend. I will not capitulate. I will not give in. I will not give up. You come for me. You gotta come to all of us. All of us. Every single one of us. We're all in this together.
Dave Rubin
We're all in this together. First off, that's not her accent. I don't know what she's doing at the end of every sentence and all that stuff. And ladies, no, I am more New Yorker than you. Right? Like you people. I don't care if you're actually, like, I don't know if she's. Is Letitia James from New York. Can we Google? Is she born and raised in New York? New Yorkers? Real true New Yorkers. You are the reverse of what a real, true New Yorker is. A real true New Yorker. You know what that is? That's somebody that if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. That you will bust your ass and relentlessly pursue what your dream is. And you will work with all sorts of people from all sorts of life, from all walks of life to do that. And you will not just be this. Yes, she was born. She was born in Brooklyn. I was born in the same exact place as. That is just awful. Letitia and I, can we find out what hospital she was born at? That would really be something. If it was Brookdale Hospital, that would be screwy. And how old Is she. What if, what if. Wait, how old? She was born in the 58. Oh, she's a lot older than me. But that would have been something if we had been switched at birth. You know what I mean? In the hospital, if there had been. My parents never knew. All right, anyway, forget all that. Here's Zorhan at the rally quoting a Marxist Leninist. Go.
Letitia James
With this much darkness, it takes courage to light a new path. As Thomas Sankara once said, fundamental change only comes from the courage to turn your back on the old formulas. The courage to invent the future together. That is exactly what we have done.
Dave Rubin
Guys, joking aside for a second, like this guy is so absolutely dangerous. And I said it months ago and I mean it. If you are sane, assuming he wins, like again, there's just every. Everything is pointing to him winning. So it would have to be just like a cataclysmic failure of all the polls. If you are a person of means, if you are a person who loves freedom, if you are a person who loves the ability to get on a subway and not be attacked, or the ability to lock your door and not think your house is going to be broken to, or to go out at night or go to the theater or just anything decent, if you are just a decent human being, you must leave that city. And that is deeply, deeply, deeply said. We're going to read, I'm going to read to you for a moment here a bit about Thomas Sankara, who is the Marxist Leninist that he just quoted there. He was the communist leader of the Burkina Faso from 1983 to 1987. He banned political parties and independent trade unions, consolidating power under the National Revolutionary Council. Hundreds of former officials, journalists and military officers were executed or disappeared during purges meant to cleanse the revolution. You see what they're doing? It's all about the revolution. The revolution is coming. It is going to get very bad. I'm trying to warn you people, even though I am thousands and thousands of miles away here is Zorhan. Because you know, one thing that they don't love is they don't love when they get questions or, you know, when people protest them or anything else, they'll shut that shit down real quick. They pretend we don't like it, even though, let's say right leaning people go all over the world. What did Charlie Kirk make a career of going everywhere and talking to people. You know, people protested, hey, come on up, talk first, blah, blah, blah. But what do they do? They have a plan in place so that if anyone protests him, they know what they're gonna do. It involves music.
Theater Director / Event Host
Now, who knows, we might have some, some. Some hecklers tonight. We don't really know what's gonna happen, so I just want to give you some instructions on what we're gonna do if we are interrupted tonight. Basically, anything. Anything goes wrong, you're gonna hear some music. Let's hear that music now.
Dave Rubin
Please.
Theater Director / Event Host
Listen, I have a musical theater degree. I will sing if I have to.
Letitia James
All right, so what do we do when we hear this music? What do we do?
Zorhan Mamdani
We stand up.
Letitia James
We stand up. We move everyone up there. We can do it. There we go. That's it.
Dave Rubin
Do you guys get it yet? Like the Reagan line, How is socialism gonna come to America? It is going to come with a smile. It is this. It is the theater director who is a Marxist, who is an elitist, who comes from rich parents, who's got the lo fi music in the background and the soft lens and is shaved just right and knows how to dance and sing, ushering in the evil that every single one of us who are American, that our ancestors fled to make this great country. So good luck with all that. He's also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America who have endorsed him. They put up this statement. It's not specifically about him, but if you want to see if the radicals dig this fellow, listen to this. Earlier this week, the Palestinian resistance announced that a ceasefire agreement had been reached and would entail the end of this intensified stage of the genocide. This will not end Israel's assault on the Palestinian people or the theft and occupation of Palestinian lands. DSA harbors no illusions that Israel will honor any negotiated agreement that preserves Palestinian life for self determination across the region. Israel terrorizes the people of Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Qatar and Iran while wielding the implicit threat of nuclear engagement to violently impose its fascist expansionist aspirations. Our roles to end US Complicity in Israel's genocide and apartheid. At every level in our communities, our government, our workplaces, with every economic and political tool at our disposal, we proudly join together with our comrades in solidarity. Until justice is rendered for all Palestinians, the struggle for liberation continues. Solidarity forever. That is so. Not only is it, there's so many factually incorrect things there. Obviously there was no genocide. There is no apart. I don't think they even said apartheid there, but there was no apartheid. You all know there was not one Jew living in Gaza before October 7th. There ain't one Jew living there now. And nobody's heading over there. And I assure you that either that Israel is fighting with all their other enemies. I can also guarantee you this. Mark my words, this is the Internet. People will clip it if I'm wrong. If none of those places, say Qatar and Yemen and Lebanon, etc. If they don't fire any rockets into Israel, they're not going to get any rockets. Like it's all everything is just it's all about the revolution. It's all about the revolution. And the revolution is getting dangerously, dangerously close to our shores right now.

You know they had this mayor, this guy Jacob Fry, and this is this pathetic, pathetic sort of limp wristed loser who's pandered to all the progressive ideas, defund the police, everything. He runs around speaking in Somali like he thought that was his way of pandering to them, but he just wasn't Somali enough. So now Ilhan Omar has officially endorsed Omar Fateh, even though Jacob Fry spoke Somali. I wonder if he gets the Duolingo lessons back.
Ilhan Omar
Well, I'm excited to announce that I will be supporting Senator Fateh for the Mayor of the city of Minneapolis, our.
Dave Rubin
Congresswoman who I'm really excited to have her support. And with that, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar put her stamp of approval on a grateful state Senator Omar Fateh, who envisions a city that is more equal. Minneapolis seems to be a tale of two cities. One for the wealthy and the well connected and the rest of everyone else. The congresswoman believes the 35 year old senator, a Democratic Socialist can lead with a progressive agenda.
Ilhan Omar
I have trust in the Senator's track record that he will find a way to make sure that we have ordinances, legislation that is passing through that speaks to the desires and the needs of the residents of the city.
Dave Rubin
Guys, did we bring the Ilhan Omar puke bucket? We didn't bring it out. Nobody brought it on the plan, so that's gonna be hard for me. I guess I'm not gonna spend much time analyzing that, though. But I would again say good luck. It's the exact same thing. Democratic socialists, too many up there. We're gonna take from them. We're gonna give to you. People will flee. There won't be enough stuff. Everyone can sit here and promise everything for free. It is utterly meaningless, other than it will destroy cities. And then when you throw in a dash of the jihadi stuff, it also becomes a problem. Plus, she married her brother. Would somebody do something about that? Is anyone watching this, please? And what happens over time when you let all of the good ideas, the good institutions crumble? They just start getting wacky, this one. I almost couldn't believe this story. So, Canterbury. This is crazy. The Church of England is now covering the Canterbury Church, which was built in 597 AD. That's a long time ago. They are now covering the Canterbury Church in graffiti to better represent diversity, because I assume that's what the Canterbury Church has always been all about. All right, you get the point. It's going to be a mosque soon enough anyway, and trust me, they will get rid of the graffiti. Don't worry about that. One more here before we get to arubinreport.locals.com community Q&A. Let's stick with the UK for just a second, because another crazy thing that they're doing, they have imported all of these people. They are actively trying to destroy their society. They are electing many of them. They are covering up rapes of their young girls, all of this lunacy. But the other part is that they are now actively turning the government against their own people. Whether it's somebody that happens to put up a tweet saying that they're against illegal immigration or whatever it might be. We see all these videos of grandmas being arrested and all this other stuff. If you. If you stand, what was it, 100ft outside an abortion clinic and just say, you like babies, you're gonna get thrown in jail. But who's the UK government really focused on? Yes, it's those pesky white men. Is there anything worse Listen to this from the UK government's website. Terrorist ideologies. They are worried about the extreme right wing. We define extreme right wing terrorism as active or vocal supportive ideologies that advocate discrimination or violence against minority groups. The most common. The most three common subcategories of extreme right wing terrorist ideologies and their narratives. Cultural nationalism. Western culture is under threat from mass migration and a lack of integration by certain ethnic and cultural groups. Well, that's true. That's true. White ethno nationalism, mass migration from the non white world and demographic change poses an existential threat to the white race and Western culture. Well, that's also true. It doesn't mean you should be racist and say, I am white. I am better than anyone else. But it's fundamentally true. And then white supremacism. They love white. These people. The white race is biologically, culturally and spiritually superior to all other races. I mean, you know, tune into the NBA and tell me if that's true. Right? Like, it's just silly. It's just silly. I said one more. We're just gonna. Let's. Let's just come back to America for just a second because we played you a couple of videos lately. Last week, we played you this video of the Seattle mayor and they were asking him about the criminals and he's like, I want to know if a criminal. I want to know more about them. Like, was a criminal molested? Did they not eat that day? Like, what's causing these people to rape everybody? Maybe somebody just had a low sugar spike. Well, this notion that we need to know more about why criminals do things seems to be bubbling all over the place. Here is Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Fitke, I think is her name. And she has a very powerful message to the criminals.
Sunny Hostin
And so my message to everybody, learn how to behave in our city, but especially learn how to behave in our downtown and our Fountain Square. And our officers will approach you if you start to behave disorderly on Fountain Square. Because these things. Things sometimes start as a minor altercation and then evolve into something bigger. So do not come downtown, especially on Fountain Square if you don't know how to behave.
Dave Rubin
Guys, just learn how to behave. Would you just stop doing that? Why are you doing that? Are you hungry? Did something happen to you? Did you get a bad grade in school? Could you stop raping those people? What is. And these are particular places we would prefer that you not do those things. And then you wonder why Seattle's falling apart, why Cincinnati's falling apart. Could you just stop shooting People in Chicago. Would you be able to do that for me? Could you do like that woman should be, maybe, maybe qualified to be a second grade teacher. She is not qualified to be the police chief. That's all I've got to say about that. All right, we're getting to a couple rubinreport.locals.com community Q&As and then we are going to eat some Australian Wagyu. If you've ever been seriously hurt in an accident, your injury could actually be worth millions. And most people have no idea. Insurance companies love to lowball claims offering way less than what you deserve. That's why there's Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm with over a thousand attorneys across 50 states. They've been fighting for people for more than 30 years and they don't settle for low ball offers. Just recently they won $12 million in Florida, 26 million in Philadelphia and 6.8 million in New York. All way above what insurance companies offered. And the best part, it's complet completely free unless you win. No upfront cost, no hidden fees. It takes only a couple minutes to see if you have a case. Did you know you can start a claim with America's largest injury law firm in just one click? It's super easy. Just go to for the people.com rubin or click the link in the description and pinned comment. All right, here we go. Nimbus says, do you think future generations will view the Democrats of today similar to how history remembers Maoism's, Stalinism, Nazism, etc. I mean, that's a great point. I suppose it depends on who wins this worldwide cultural political war, right? If they win, well, most of us are going to be in the gulag. I'll let you guys know what gulag number I'm in and maybe you guys could come and visit. We could do live shows together and all that fun stuff. But if we win, yes, should the ideas of everything that we've shown you in this show, whether it's the hysterical women of the View going after the wife of the guy in charge of HHS because he's trying to make sure kids get less poison in them and they're upset about that, or whether it's any of the videos we just showed you about Mamdami or Letitia James or Fat Ilhan, like all of these people, they're ushering it all in. They're doing it on our watch. We don't know what to do about it. In some grand sense, we don't like if they're not doing anything outwardly illegal. Although I definitely think many of the Democrats are working with nonprofits that are doing illegal things and all that. But, like, if they're. They're just exercising their free speech and they're getting brainwashed morons to vote for them because our education system is so bad. So it really just depends who wins, and we best pray that it is us. Jacqueline says, hey, Dave, my friend and I are attending the Melbourne show. I did it right, I think. Did I do it right? And you have to move your head like that when you say it every time and have been lucky enough to get meet and greet tickets. The question is, how long are you spending in Australia and what. What state are you looking forward to visiting the most and why? So we're here for 12 days, but I think it ends up being like 14, including travel and all that stuff. We also have shows in Sydney and Brisbane that I'm doing, a bunch of private events and a few other things. What am I looking forward to the most? Well, first off, you will get the. Jacqueline, Jacqueline, you're going to get the three second hug, okay? Because you got a question in today, you're getting the extra second on the hug. What am I looking forward to the most? You know, when I finished up the tour with Jordan Peterson, we finished in Sydney, and it was the last show that we did. I've told you guys this a couple times. It was the last show that we did out of about 120 shows, something like 20 countries. And it was a beautiful, beautiful day in Sydney. And, you know, the Opera House there is just stunningly gorgeous. And we were on the boardwalk there, and it was just perfect. But we got there that morning, we did the show, and then I jumped right on the plane. So I did not get to spend any time in Sydney. I got to bounce around some of the other places. I got to do some beaches. I got to do some of the, the, you know, kangaroo preservation areas where you can go in with the animals. We're going to do all that kind of stuff with the guys. I just really want to see the country, eat the food, get to see what's going on with the people, you know, here in Melbourne. I did it right again. Here in Melbourne, they locked down like crazy. So I'm looking forward to getting out tonight and talking to some locals and finding out what's been going on over here. This is kind of, from what I'm understanding, like the leftist bastion of the country. But bizarrely, we walked around for a Little bit this afternoon and it was pretty freaking clean and nice. And Joey, you didn't get raped. So everyone seems to be okay. Glenn says, what do you think about the theory that many of the unreturned dead hostages are because the hostages, those hostages show evidence that they were murdered, raped and or tortured. Well, definitely murdered. We know that much. Raped under or tortured for sure. So I don't know what the exact numbers are, but I think there were at least 13 women that their remains are still there. There's more than that. Overall, there's absolute evidence. And I saw, I told you guys, I went to the Israeli military base and I saw the 47 minute video where they can show you because of where blood is on bodies and all sorts of stuff. Like there is absolute evidence of rape and all kinds of things. And the fact that, I mean think about, they get the, the living hostages back, but then they have the remains. I try to imagine the remains of these people, what condition that is in. Apparently one of the four bodies that they just sent back wasn't even an Israeli. It turned out to be a Gaza. Like it's just such a mess. But I would say at this point, in a weird way, Hamas has been so blatant about the things that they do. I mean, they recorded all of the stuff, right? They live streamed all the stuff. They literally took Israelis phones and put it on Facebook live and called mothers to say these things. So they didn't do what the Nazis did. The Nazis recorded things for historical purposes, but tried to hide it when it was happening. These guys did the complete reverse. So I don't think it's suddenly that they're like, oh, now we somehow tricked everyone into thinking we're the good guys. The people that follow them down that path of evil, like they're going, they're going either way. Larry says, hey, Dave, have you gotten in touch with Jordan Peterson or his family recently? Is there anything you could share about his health? So I have not said a word about Jordan's health, but his health did start failing in August. I was not informed of it, obviously when I was off the grid. When I got back on, it was not in the show we put together when Jillian brought me back. But then Phoenix and a couple other people brought it to my attention. I don't want to say for those of you that haven't paid attention at all, he's had, it's basically been some neurological stuff, as I understand, and breastfeeding, respiratory stuff connected to going to his parents, house. His parents both passed away going to his parents house. They lived in the same house for like 50 years and there was a lot of mold exposure. I don't know that I should say any more than that. I have spoke to Mikayla privately, his daughter. I've spoke to Tammy privately. He is getting better. Like if you got a couple extra prayers, say them for him. I've been saying prayers for Dennis Prager. It's been a weird. It's partly why I haven't brought up the Jordan thing. I didn't have anything to add that was outside of what Tammy and what Michaela had brought up. But also Jordan in his condition now and Dennis in his condition. These are two of the most important human beings in my life. So it's been a little bit of an odd year as it relates to that. And then, and then Charlie getting killed. Right. So like just some, some weird stuff there. But no, I can't. I don't really have any information that is in public. Like I have a little nominal stuff. But yeah, if you pray, throw an extra one in for Jordan. Let's talk about Perplexity AI and then we'll have more on the other side. Let me ask you something.

Talway says, I've told my roommate about your enjoyment of the Golden Girls. And he's curious who your favorite of the girl is. He enjoys the sarcasm of Dorothy and Sophia. Yes, Dorothy, played by Bea Arthur, by far my favorite. But everyone that watches the Golden Girls, if you really know the Golden Girls, you can go in phases. Sometimes you want sassy Blanche, sometimes you want aloof Rose, sometimes you want quick witted, acerbic Sophia. But Dorothy was the glue of the show because she was like the realest. And actually there's an episode when Stan, her ex husband's cousin, comes from the former Czechoslovakia and she's a communist. And Dorothy explains what classical liberalism is to her and it says you should read a book by Thomas Paine. But she was the, she just had the sort of, she was the sane one in the mental institution. That was what brought it all together. And actually when the show ended, which it ended because after seven seasons they wanted to continue it, she didn't want to do it anymore. I saw an interview with her where she said that she was just tired of being in that little box because she had been on the Golden Girls for seven years. She did Maude before that, which of course was spun off of all in the Family. And she was just tired of being on television. And they then continued the show. It jumped from NBC to cbs, the Golden Palace. It was terrible about the other three girls running a hotel. It was really, really awful. She, she did appear back in for two episodes, but it was, it was time to go. It was time to go for her. And once they didn't have her, it just, it just wasn't the same. Let's see, we got two more here. Brian says, did David and the boys have any plans for mischief prepared for your return? Redecorating, rearranging for Halloween, pranks, etc. I don't know, but I have no doubt that, well, we've gone really big on Halloween this year. We got ghosts everywhere. They're really into Ghostbusters. We've got, we've got Ghostbuster proton packs and the blasters and slime everywhere and we got big spiders and all sorts of stuff. So we're going. So I'm very excited to get back just in time for Halloween. I really didn't want to be gone for Halloween. I was gone for Halloween last year. I missed it. And I'm very excited to be back this year and I'm sure we're all going. Well, I know they're going as Ghostbusters and I have a feeling, well, I'm either going as a ghost or a Ghostbuster. And finally Cecito says, when will you and your crew or will you and your crew have Vegemite sandwiches when you're in Australia? I think by law we have to, Right? Like we have. Yes. I got nods from everybody. We will have Vegemite sandwiches and we will post pictures of it. No, post game show because I'm in a hotel halfway across the world. So we can't do it. Gotta go. But we will be back tomorrow. Thanks for watching. Oh, and davrubin.com events if you happen to be in Australia and you'd like the three second hug goodbye.
Episode: This Fight Over RFK Jr. Was So Big It Could Be Cheryl Hines' Last Time on 'The View'
Date: October 16, 2025
Host: Dave Rubin
Location: Hotel room, Melbourne, Australia
In this episode, Dave Rubin checks in from Australia while on tour, discussing recent political and cultural events, with a primary focus on Cheryl Hines’s contentious appearance on The View regarding her husband, RFK Jr., and broader issues of free speech, political polarization, and media bias. He moves from discussing the personal attacks Cheryl faced on daytime TV to critiques of rising socialist/communist influence in American and UK politics, and the disturbing tribalistic shifts he sees among the left and in urban leadership. The tone is direct, irreverent, and darkly humorous as Rubin lambasts "leftist craziness" and emphasizes the need for real debate and defense of Western values.
This episode is a broadside against leftist orthodoxy in media and politics, prompted by the treatment of Cheryl Hines on The View but expanding to Rubin’s sweeping critique of contemporary Western politics. He threads together the personal, the political, and the cultural, encouraging vigilance against what he sees as the erosion of free speech and traditional values, all delivered in his trademark mixture of exasperation and dark humor.
