Previously on the Rubin River. No Candy Gladys. He killed all of the chickens. And that is what is happening in New York City. Israel's genocide, Gaza. I hate that affect. What is that I'm standing behind every single one of those races that involve an incumbent. But I'm Rakim Jeffries. All right, what's going on, everybody? I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin report. It is June 25, 2026. And yes, that is right tomorrow. June 26th is my 50th birthday. And you know, we pre tape our Friday shows. So the panel show that we put up on Fridays usually are pre taped. Sometimes they're live, but they're usually pre taped. And then we use Friday to catch up on other work. But we are pre taping it for tomorrow. So this is my last live show before I hit 50. I just wanted to start the show by saying one or two things about that because it's been a strange. Well, first off, I mentioned earlier in the week that my birthday was coming and you guys sent all sorts of great messages and nice things and kind things and all that. And I do appreciate all the love. But there's something interesting, or at least I have found there's something interesting about turning 50 for some reason. Partly, I think it has to do with this thing that I did to myself, this AC joint separation, which I was going to get a new suit yesterday. All I've been told about my actual birthday is that I need to wear a new suit. So I was going to get a new suit yesterday. I'm trying to. And I can barely get my arm in the jacket and I'm trying to put the jackets on. I'm in a lot of pain. And then I get the jacket on and, you know, the jacket's too high and it's hard to fit because of this whole thing. The reason I mention that is I've been feeling so good like this. My 40s were by far my best decade. I feel like my life didn't even get good in a weird way. The 40s, my 20s were a freaking mess. 30s got a little bit better, but 40s are really where it got good. And I've been so looking forward to the 50s and I've been, you know, eating right and working out and, you know, career is good. And my house and my home and my family, like, everything really is great. As I always say, like what goes on in the four walls of my house is great. I can't solve all of the world's problems. That's what we Try to slog through on this show every day. And then it sort of hit me over the last week and a half since this thing happened to my shoulder, that life just does find a way. Like there's some weird baked in thing with life that like, if you're just like feeling great. And I was like, wow, I'm gonna roll into my 50s. And then we go off the grid for August and everything's just great and I'm busting my ass, firing on all cylinders and then just this, then I suddenly get this like crazy injury. And then I really was kind of depressed last week. And I'm fortunate that I have, you know, good friends and colleagues and everything else to kind of drag me out of that. And the nice things that you guys say definitely helps too. But I'm not, I never am depressed. I always consider myself an optimist. And I'm half glass full. That's why I can do the show, a smile on my face, make fun of some of these things. But anyway, I'm not even exactly sure what I'm saying other than to say I'm very appreciative of you guys and I really think the best is yet to come. I mean that for me personally. I mean it professionally for what we do here. And I actually do mean it for the country too. Although that sounds a little hard to believe when we get to some of the topics that we're going to come to today with this communist jihad takeover of the Democrat party. But I. Yeah, so this is my last show before I'm a 50 year old. Next time you see me in the pre tape tomorrow, well, I'll still be 49 because the pre tape will be done today. We'll put it up tomorrow. But you get the point. Also, by the way, we did the ridiculous. It was completely ridiculous. My accountant was like, what are you doing? We did this ridiculous. Dave's turn in 50. 50% off Copal now through June 26th. We sold thousands of bottles yesterday. Like our distributor is freaking out right now. The website crashed for about two hours. But yes, there is still some bot left. And if you order now, you will get it by July 4th, which really was my hope. So you can go to drinkcopil.com, it's 50% off. You don't have to add a code. And I promise you it's the best. Light, fresh. I always say exquisite, but that's what it is. It's the most exquisite, pleasant tequila that you've ever had and a great way to celebrate America's 250th. Okay, that's enough housekeeping for now. So let's dive into the craziness. And there just is a lot of craziness. It just is what it is at this point. I don't know how we're going to get out of any of this, really. But the Democrat Party has been completely taken over. There's nobody left. You know that I've been screaming about this for years, right? I left the left. What's wrong with you people? You're not liberal. I was doing that a decade ago. And I tried to warn people. And many others, by the way, over the years have tried to warn people. Gad Saad tried to warn people. Elon Musk tried to warn people. Bobby Kennedy tried to warn people. Like we can go through that long list of people. So it certainly was not just me. But I think all of the terrible things that I feared would happen with the Democrat Party have happened. And let me say this, it still can and will get worse. That is where we are at. You know, you may remember, and I'm not a huge fan of Piers Morgan anymore, but when I had him on my show not too long ago, six months ago, he wrote a book called Woke is Dead. And in the interview with him I said, well, that title seems odd to me because I don't think it's dead at all. I think it's about to morph into its final form. And its final form, obviously, is this Marxist communist jihadist synthesis with sort of the Free Palestine thing as the Omni cause. Can we grab that meme up again? I want to throw the meme up. We'll do it in a moment. It went super viral yesterday. A meme that we showed on the show yesterday and we're getting to its final form, but it is going to get worse. So let's get caught up because as you know, there were a couple terrible, terrible results out of New York. Oh, but actually, before we do that, I will give you one good piece of news. Phoenix said to me 30 seconds before we started that this just broke. This is from the At America account on X. Breaking the the U.S. supreme Court has ruled in a 6, 3 decision that non citizens who show up at the border do not automatically qualify for asylum and can be turned away. We decide only that an alien standing in Mexico does not arrive in the United States. I don't know how this even got to the Supreme Court, but it is a good decision. Obviously. I guess we can figure out who the three dissenters were you show up to a border, you don't automatically get asylum. Then you don't have a border at all. If you get to the border and then you are oh well, you should walk through for whatever reason you wanna come in, then it's not a border and we don't have a country. So anyway, it's nice to see that the Supreme Court did something good. Now we'll get into the depressing stuff. So yeah, the democrat socialist. But they are socialists and communists and Islamists. There is no point in saying Democrat anymore other than they have a donkey's ass next to their little name on the teleprompter. Right. They have elected a series of them now in New York. 3 Zorhan backed people got in and the omni cause for these people is free Palestine. A state that never existed, designed only to destroy states that do exist. And wait till they really get their sights on America. You can see it happening right now. There's an insane amount of Jew hatred. I don't, I think about it all the times that I've run around on the show calling people anti Semites or anything else, I don't really do that. But there is something extremely nasty happening with this group. The reason it particularly hits Jews is not just because of Israel, but it's because Jews are a minority and they only the lefties only like their minorities oppressed. So Jews, by being successful by maintaining family and maintaining culture and caring about education and hard work over the years, climbed up the ladder. And they can't have a minority group climbing up the ladder. That blows up the intersectional calculator. Anyway, on the View we're going to show you the View. You know, I'm going to say we don't even have to show the warning today because mom, this one's for you. Here is Sarah Haynes and she is the one person on the View that makes some sense every now and again. And my mom always says David, she calls me David. She says David, remember her name, it's Sarah Haynes and be nice to her. Well, here's Sarah Haynes making some sense about the radical nature of some of these people who have just been elected. Particularly this Darielaisa Chevalier who was cheering on October 7, quite literally on October 8, and how the Dems are now embracing all of this Jew hatred. And watch the way Sunny just staring at her the entire time. One thing I would say is I just read a fascinating article this morning. It was talking about how one party is ousting anti Semites and one party is electing them. And I would say that this article raised great points. Avila Cheval, however you say her name, she was at a pro Palestine rally prompting Hamas and celebrating that on October 8th of 2023. These people are not afraid to. They don't only not denounce, they actually espouse these beliefs that everything Israel does has influenced our world. That's not gonna fly in New York City. Well, no, it is right now actually. I'm not flying the bf. No. There were pro homosexuals on October 8th rally October 8th. The only thing that had happened is that Israel had been attacked and people had been brutally murdered and raped. And so on October 8, I don't think there needed to be rallies cheering on Hamas calling her an anti Semite. I'm going to full blown call her an anti semi. She would proudly call herself that, trust me. First off, let me just say I'm going to give you some credit here, Sarah Haynes, but Sunny is absolutely disgusting. If we can get a screenshot of that side eye that she's showing her. Sonny calls everybody racist all the time. That's all she does on that show. And complain about everything here. In this case when shewhen. You have Sara Haines laying out that on October 8, before Israel had sent one soldier into Gaza while they were still trying to figure out what was going on after how many people were killed on October 7? It was over 1,000, I think about 1,200 people, mostly young people were killed on October 7 and they were still looking for their, you know, they had how many were. Give me the exact numbers on how many were killed on October 7th and how many were taken hostage that day. Hundreds were taken hostage before Israel had set a soldier in there. There was not one pesky Jew in Gaza before that. And then they suddenly were putting them under in tunnels. You had this chevalier celebrating it. There were protests on October 8 across the world celebrating it. So there she was on October 8th and she's protesting Israel. Israel, which just had 1200 or so of its people killed, 251 people taken hostage that day. You remember that? I mean look at that girl. Look at that young girl in the truck. Look at the blood. Trust me, I've seen the 47 minute video that they have not released that you have to watch on an Israeli army base that they, you can argue maybe they should have released it. And to watch someone be beheaded with a little knife, the entire thing while the guy is smiling, that wasn't the worst part of it, I assure you. It actually wasn't. The worst part of it. There were things involving kids that were far worse than that. But do we have Sonny just side eye with Sonny? Look at the anger she's looking at her with, like she is just absolutely disgusting human being. But Sara Haines, I want to say it's not easy to sit in that room and make sense or sit in that table and make sense. And you just did make sense and you took a moral position and I guess that's why my mom likes you. Might I offer to Joy Behar? Joy, you know you would say, this won't fly in New York City. It's flying in New York City. And Joy, it'll eventually come for you too. I know you don't really have the balls to stand up the way Sarah Hanes just did because you've been mind muddled with Trump derangement syndrome and all that, but it'll eventually come for you too. You are a millionaire. Joy Bayer, you have a lot of money. You're not a complete socialist America hating jihadi. So they still will come for you. So you may as well have a little dignity in the meantime. Oh, it won't fly in New York City. Well, we'll see about that. Anyway, here is Dari Lazia Chevalier admitting that she went to a Hamas rally. And it was a Hamas rally. It wasn't a pro Palestine rally. It was a hamas rally after October 7th. I was there at that rally on October 8th because I remembered what happened in 2014 and I knew that the reaction would be an outsized reaction that would cause the death of thousands upon thousands of people. Oh, that's why she was there. She was. Because of something that happened, you know, nine years before. Well, yeah, When Hamas shoots rockets into Israel, they're going to respond. And any sane person would respond disproportionately. Not proportionately. They raped 72 of our women. Let's rape 72 of their women. No, that's not how you do it. You respond disproportionately. Colin Powell had the Powell doctrine. Someone attacks you, you demolish them to the point that they will never attack you again. That would be sane strategy in war. I think you can make absolutely moral and ethical arguments that the Israelis haven't responded forcefully enough and drew this thing out too long. And they would have had to make horrific decisions as it related to potentially losing some of the hostages and everything else. That's a secondary thing. We have one more of Derazia. Deralazia, Sarah. We'll go back to Sarah Haynes. Here's Sarah Haynes with a bit more sense at the table of the View. I don't know what she's drinking when we start normalizing these crazy is Brad Lander conspiracy. I'm not, but just listen to who I'm talking about. He was refused coffee over someone saying vandalized with. So wait a minute, wait a minute. So one coffee shop is normalizing it? No, his office was vandalized with anti Semitic slurs in New York. So one thing I would say the right is doing right right now is the extreme right and the extreme left are meeting about anti Semitism. They hide under the cloak of criticizing Israel, which some people who criticize Israel are not anti. All anti Semites criticize Israel and use it as cover. As you always say, a racist doesn't say, hey, I'm a racist. They also don't say, hey, I'm an anti Semite. And let's say, but all of that does not bring down the cost of bread, which is what people are saying. Well, my point here is, though, that's what the. That's the mistake the Democrats are making. Affordability and the separation between the haves and have nots. That is fair. All Americans want to be able to afford groceries and health care and have good education and all those things. That is not what these people are running on. These same Democratic socialists last night were literally chanting your net at Hakeem Jeffries. They want to take Hakeem Jeffries out. Yeah, that's really good stuff by Sarah Haynes. Of course you can criticize Israel. You can criticize any country, obviously. And that doesn't make you an anti Semite more than if you were to criticize Italy would make you someone that hates Italians. But if you relentlessly and singularly and only attack one absurdly tiny country when there's one Jewish state and there's 53 Muslim states who all practice apartheid, who all have no minority rights, who. All of the stuff. Maybe it has a little something to do with the Jews and the fact that Joy. Joy's husband's Jewish. Steve. I met him on the Upper west many times. It's like, and you're still running cover. You pathetic. And Sonny sits there and it's like, don't you guys get it? This is what the horseshoe theory of politics is. It doesn't matter what any of your issues are. As long as you obsessively hate Israel, you're good to go on the left now. And there's a version. This is what Sarah is talking about. There's a version of that on the right. It's like Tucker. Why does Tucker bring on lefties all the time? Cenk and Anna and all these lefty lunatics. And he glazes them and he loves them because they have an absolute hatred of Israel and the Jews. That's the unifying principle for these guys. So it doesn't. You're a socialist, I'm a capitalist. Or you're a Democrat, I'm a Republican. Tucker's not even a Republican anymore. But you can see there's only one thing that really matters, right? There's only one piece. We'll get into this a little bit more next week. I have James Lindsey on who's been calling this stuff out forever and I think has been ahead on it more than anyone else here. So let's leave the View there. I promise you that's all we've got from the View right now. Let's jump over to some of the other Democrats, cuz there are other Democrats right now that you might look on face value and say, okay, they're not full communists, jihadists. Like what are they gonna do in the face of this thing? Well, we're gonna show you two videos here. One is Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock, although he pretty much is one of them. And Cory Booker, who I think is half one. I just don't think he has any principles. But he is married to a woman and that's very important when you're running for president. Here they are. And what's happening with the Democrats right now? What do you think the future of the party is? Is it the Democratic Socialists of America who won in New York last night? We are a big tent party. That's who we are. Given that, what did you make of your fellow Democratic Senator John Fetterman today when he was asked about these New York primaries? He said the dirtbag left is surging. I believe is how he described it again for me. If you want to heal a country, you can't be picking fights. I think we need to understand that our party is not homogenous. One of the things that makes the Democratic Party great is it's a big tent party. We need to stay that way. The focus has got to be the November election. You know, it's interesting what Cory says right there. You can't pick fights. You know what a real man would do? You would pick fights when they're supposed to be picked. If there are horrible things around you that are happening, that are ruining your country, ruining your community, attacking your family, destroying everything that this place was based on and trying to bring in a set of ideas that most of our ancestors fled, usually socialist, communist ideas. You would pick that fight. But what he's saying is, I'm not a leader. And what he's really saying without saying it, is I see where the energy is of this thing, and I'm not going to do anything about it because I either don't have the balls to do it, or I don't want them to turn their knives on me, which is what they are extremely good at. So, Booker, you've always been a nothing, and you'll just kind of drib and drab over closer to it because you are nothing. If there was a time to pick a fight, it would be right now. And ironically, Sarah Haynes pointed that out. She said, there's one party that's embracing the anti Semites, that's obviously the Democrat Party, and there's one party pushing them out. For all the craziness on the right that we've addressed on this show over the last roughly year or so, there has been this psycho fight, you know, the Tucker Candace types and Megyn Kelly types, and they've been, I would say, largely fought against with saner people say, I don't know, maybe me, maybe Ben Shapiro, maybe a whole bunch of other conservatives who are like, okay, you can have whatever feelings you want about Israel or foreign policy, but this stuff is all going too far. Every single show Tucker does is about the Jews, right? So the right is pushing this stuff away to the point that Tucker is no longer saying he'll vote for Republicans. So you do pick a fight. What kind of person I don't pick? You're not looking. You don't wake up every morning going, who can I fight? But when the war, whether you like it or not, brother, the war is coming. So you can either just bow down, take it, or maybe you would put up a fight. But it's very obvious they're all just going to where the energy is. And as I keep saying, you can't deny that the energy is with the communists. They're communists and jihadists. They are not Democrats. They are not socialists. Here is Ro Khanna, who I just right now, he is just at the top of people that I despise and do not respect and doesn't stand for anything and clearly just wants power and is slimy and is worth $230 million. And they're gonna come get him, too. Well, here he is. But I do believe that this shows two things. First, Madani is a star. Anyone dismissing him is just naive and out of touch. He is one of the five most consequential Democrats in the nation right now and people should treat him with respect. And the second thing is that the progressive movement is on the ascendancy in the House of Representatives and across the country. And the idea of just saying, oh, this is New York is just not true. We've been winning in Pennsylvania, in New Jersey, in Michigan, in Maine. And this is really where the energy. So that's where the energy is. He's admitting it. It's not about principles. It's not about having any positions that might be good. It's not about loving a country or doing anything that would be thought of as pro America or anything like that. It's, oh, there's energy over there. So he's saying, I'm an energy chaser, but there's plenty of people that are like, oh, there's something shiny over there. Let me go to that. Right. It's like the most base impulse you could possibly ever have. Then he says, nobody should dismiss Mamdaami. Nobody's dismissing him. Who's dismissing him? Nobody is. We're poking holes in his ridiculous communist arguments and people should treat him with respect. Fuck him and fuck you. Why should we treat either one of them with respect? You guys are importing the worst ideas that are counter to everything this country is about. They don't deserve respect. But what you're saying is I'm a little bitch ass motherfucker. Sorry, guys, I'm just doing. My shoulder hurts. That's what you're saying. I'm a little bitch who has no principles and I'm worth $230 million, which all happened through capitalism. And I don't want those people to come to my mansion and burn it down and behead me. But they're going to do it anyway. Ro Khanna, who just bought a $10 million house in D.C. because he wants to run for president. Let me take a breath. Here's Scott Jennings. You know what? I think it's appropriate. It's my birthday tomorrow. This one's a gift to me. Can we put up the old Scott and the retards one for this? Do we have it in the file there? You got it in the file. This is just for me. In 2016, when Donald Trump ran for the nomination and he ran as an outsider and he shook up the party and he dispensed with all the establishment types and then he took over the party with all of his extreme views on all sorts of things. And I call them extreme because that's what Republicans called them at the time. So, I mean, this is actually in some ways, kind of a Trump playbook. Well, except Trump wasn't trying to, you know, bring about the downfall of Western civilization. Like, some of these socialist candidates are in the Democratic Party. So it's just been clear. And so, I mean, look, I, you know, I'm not a Democrat, but I've been amused at the infighting in, in New York City today. And some of it is, is, you know, pretty powerful constituencies. I saw video last night in one of these victory parties of a room full of young white socialists screaming at a television with Hakeem Jeffries on it, who's poised, by the way, to possibly become the first black speaker of the House, going, you're next, you're next, you're next. Not a great look for the party. Yeah, he's completely, completely right. I can't believe this. But I will grant a little something to Abby Phillip, the dimmest person on television right there. You could probably, if you were not very smart, make the argument that she's trying to make that it's just the same thing. There's just an insurgency happening on the left. Trump was the insurgency on the right 10 years ago, and now it's happening on the left. You can probably make that. That would be like the thinnest argument you can make, because it sort of sounds right. But the point is, Donald Trump was trying to restore America. Donald Trump was trying to get rid of the deep state. Donald Trump was trying to call out the BS with the media. Donald Trump was fighting all of the things that needed to be fought. And thank God for Donald Trump, because whether you agree with him or anything or not, he woke up people. And when Donald Trump is gone, one day, I think even more people will realize how important and consequential he was. What they're doing on the left is saying, yeah, it's an insurgency, but we're here to destroy the country. We don't like capitalism. We don't like the Constitution. We don't like any of the norms. We are down with jihad. We're down with political violence. We are going to, we want to quite literally brainwash children in our state run factories of education. We want free everything, even though nothing is free. And so the idea that these things are the same, it's like, yeah, I guess, again, the thinnest possible level. They're the same, the same. And then you just look under it and you go, well, Trump was kind of Pro America. That's pretty good. And these guys want to destroy America, which is why there's no American flags at their thing. Well, they should just run around. If there were any journalists left, just ask all these guys. Are you proud to be July 4th is coming. Are you proud to be an American? Yes or no? Do you love America, yes or no? And if any of them said yes, they'd be kicked out because their whole modus operandi is too. To destroy America. That's what they say. That's what they are for. Guys, let's talk about relief factor, which if I had taken it earlier this morning, maybe I wouldn't have cursed so much today. As you know, banged up the AC joint, it's healing, it's all right. But I am taking my relief factor every day, which I was taking before. And it does help with all the aches and pains, your back, your shoulder, your knees, just general muscle soreness and all, all the stuff. Alexa, can you please bring over the relief factor? Alexa has the relief factor. Can you open the packet of relief factor for me? She will open the packet. It's like price is right, 1987. You can pour the relief factor. Look at that. Excellent. Thank you. Make sure she gets lunch today. That's why I've been taking relief factor guys. It's 100% drug free research based formula. It's got omega 3s, turmeric, resveratrol, icaron, black pepper, all the good stuff. And it really does help. Way to go. Maybe they can get it in liquid form and I can just inject it on the show. That would be good. You can jump over to relief. Well, and to celebrate America's 2 50th, they right now are dropping the price for their starter pack, their quick start pack. It's just $17.76 for a three week trial. You can visit relieffactor.com or call 1-800-for the number four relief. All right, so let's continue with the theme that we're on, which is that they are going down this path and it is not going to stop. At least for now. We'll see how much of the country they have to destroy before a phoenix rises from the ashes. But here is Peter Doocy asking Trump about the state of the Democrats. Between Dzorhan and Hakeem. President Trump, great night for Democratic socialist candidates. Last night in the New York primaries, they swept and knocked out two incumbents. You're from New York. Why do you think it is that now the endorsement of Zoran Mamdani means more than the endorsement of Hakeem Jeffries. Well, they're going radical left. They're going really. You know, you talk about the Democrat socialists. You took really. It's really communist. That's these people. I watched that woman last night. That's not a socialist. I know socialists. That's a. That woman is a communist. They beat a guy named Dan Goldman who's, you know, loser. He was one of my prosecutors, one of my many prosecutors that they used on me. Dan Goldman, not a good prosecutor, fortunately, but he's now looking for a job. I would. I was very surprised to see, you know, because he. He's a pretty liberal guy. When they go more liberal than Dan Goldman, they're really into never never land. Yeah, he's making a couple interesting points. First off, on the Dan Goldman comptroller race with that lunatic, that pathetic, slimy, sniveling snot on your shoe, Brad Lander, who's singing Islamic verses while right after the imam's talking about beheading the infidels. And you're in infidel, Lander. The whole point is that Dan Goldman was a far lefty who was a prosecutor against Trump, and he wasn't lefty enough. How many times have we gone through this? The crazy lefties are never crazy enough. You're crazy. I'll show you crazy. So that's what happened with Jasmine Crockett. Then they get Talarico. You know, that happened with Lori Lightfoot. Then they get Brandon Johnson in Chicago. We had de Blasio in New York. Now we have Zorhan. Like, it just, oh, you think you're crazy? I'll show you crazy. And then, of course, he points out, I'm glad that Trump did it, because, you know, Peter said they're democratic socialists. Peter, I don't think you need to say that anymore. They don't even say it. They are socialists and communists with a dash of jihad. Okay? So you don't have to say it. So I like that Trump was like, they're not socialists. They're communists. That's what they are. Now watch this clip. Watch this clip. Here is the one that they were talking about. Dural, Zalzia, Avila Chevalier. She's on with Ali Velshi. Who? Ali Velshi is the MSNBC host who, during the BLM riots, told us that they were. What was it? Not. What did he say? They're mostly peaceful protests as buildings were exploding behind him. Get me the screenshot on that. You remember him? And then he's Also, a few weeks ago, even though he's a first generation immigrant into the United States, was talking about how he struggling to celebrate our 250th anniversary. Anyway, he asked her about communism and whether she's a communist. And you're going to appear in all sorts of people's ads, all sorts of Republicans ads, to say this is what you're going to get if you vote for the Democrats. A communist. You know, I think that is that framing is one that I've been very proud to be able to say. I don't respond to, one in which I have been very intentional to say. I won't be reactive. We are presenting a vision of what we're fighting for. And I think for far too long, we have had politics that is reactive to what Republicans are doing. What we need is Democrats who are actually going to present a positive vision, one that sets the tone for what we should be talking about, which is the issue of affordability, which is the issue of how our budgets are moral documents. If we say that we want to invest in working people in this country, then we need to do that, and our budgets need to reflect. Our budgets are moral documents. Phoenix, did you know that when we come up with the budget for the show every year, that that's a moral document that we're putting together? It's a moral document. Really interesting. I thought it was a financial document with, like profit and loss on it. I didn't realize it was a moral document. That's interesting. Yeah, he's like Bible. I got the Rubin report budget right here. I'll show you a more moral document. Okay. Everything. He basically gave her a softball. Are you a communist or not? And the framing of. She loves government. That's what they love. By the way, if you want to get a sense of where the city is at, she got 33,000 votes. About 0.9% of all registered Democrats in the city voted. Is that correct? For her? Voted for her. She wasn't running citywide, just in her district, but it's just this tiny amount of people, 33,000 people voted for her for her little district in 13. But the reason she's gonna now become AOC and Ilhar and Rashida, there's gonna be these new women that you're gonna just see everywhere, and they're the future. Right. And so it will make it seem like they are larger than their real influence is. But good luck with them all. Marching Palestine. Also, she's been in college for, like 14 years. The girls never accomplish anything literal 14 years, right? 14 years. Incredible. Incredible. Here's their leader, Ayatollah Zorhan Mamdami, talking about how they've taken over the Democrat Party for the DSA members. You know, they had to apologize for past social media commentary, the way they phrase things, talking about policies that didn't have anything to do with making it it in the city. And I wanted to get your opinion on it. Are you going to take them to Mamdani School of Politics? And to avoid having their worst moments be the face of the Democratic Party in a contested midterm election around the country, I think we can see from each of these candidates that they have exactly what it takes to succeed. And we've heard from Republicans time and again that they're going to try and make these candidates the face of the Democratic Party. To them, I say that we are ready for that. Yeah. And they are ready, guys. Again, you just have to give the devil his due. They are ready. They are radicals. There's nothing that's too extreme. There's nothing too extreme. That bitch was out there celebrating 1200 murders. 1200 murders and 250 people, including women and children who were kidnapped. And she was out there celebrating the next day before Israel even responded. So this is what they are. They're embracing it. And we better get ready because they're getting ready for a fight. Here's slimebag Ro Khanna again. The reality is that our platform of a New Deal for our time is resonating. It's a platform that says no to foreign wars, no to genocide, but it's also a platform that says yes. Yes to Medicare for all, yes to childcare for all, yes to unions for all, and yes to a tax on billionaires and trillionaires. It turns out that when you stand up for the working class over the Epstein class, over the billionaire class, the American people respond in huge numbers. But we shouldn't be naive. The oligarchs are going to come after us. We have a simple message for these oligarchs. Channeling fdr. We should say to them, bring it on. He's such a slimy. He's just like a sleazeball. Oh, you want to go after the billionaires and the trillionaires? Well, first off, we didn't even have a trillionaire until Elon started doing incredible things. And I think Elon should just announce, because Elon's been going after him. Elon should just announce, hey, Ro. When Earth explodes because of climate change, which isn't even real, but you people all pretend to believe in it. When that happens, you're not allowed to get on one of my ships. How about that? And then we'll see how quickly his tune changes. That would be one way Elon could deal with it. But notice he's very concerned about the billionaires and the trillionaires. He's not concerned about the 200 millionaires, which, again, is an awful lot of money. They are coming to get you, Roe, and we will cover it on the show the day that that happens. It is obvious there's no amount that you can give them. It's the same thing they did with Tom Steyer. You can pretend to be a socialist while you're worth a billion dollars in Steyer case, $200 million in your case. But when they endorsed him, they said, and if he doesn't behave the way we want, we'll come for him. So good luck with that. You guys are quite literally pouring gasoline all over your new $10 million house in D.C. that's one part of it. The rest of it is, oh, Americans voted for this. Well, 33,000 people in New York District 13 voted for it. I suppose that's true. Again, that's 0.9% of the total totality of New York City. It's a small district, obviously, but then it's just free one, free this and free that, and free everything. Again. Roe, toss up 30 million bucks. You'll have a cool 200 million, and let's see if any of it works. How about that as just a little bit of a test run? Anyway, I thought this was good. This is Delaware Senator Lisa Blunt talking about how. Well, she can't answer the question as to whether socialism has never worked before. Where has socialism ever worked, Senator? Is that another question or is that for the next interview? That's a. That's. Oh, that's definitely for you. You said fish. Fish doesn't work everywhere. I just want to know one place where socialism has. Has been. Been beneficial. Well, when you have me. When you have me come back on, we can talk about all the races. That's your answer. We don't deserve this. Like we. You watching this. Me, these guys, we don't deserve this. These people, what have they. They are destroying the country right in our face. And we're. And we're like live streaming the destruction. She can't name one place she jokes it off. I'll come back. How about one place that socialism has worked, that communism has worked. Why is it that when I go down to Little Havana over here, there are Cubans all day long that will literally come up to you on the street and just want to talk about capitalism. Why is that? Partly it's because they're so hopped up on the cafecitos with that shot of caffeine and then the sugar. The sugar will really do it. And they just want to talk about capitalism. They know what they fled. The Venezuelans who are here know what they fled. Talk to some Russians who fled the Soviet Union in the 80s, right? Find out what communism is. Find out what socialism is. But these people are ushering it in, and they can't. But none of it matters. They're only here for the revolution. She doesn't know what. Think about it. My whole ideology is socialism. I think that good governance of centralized power and making sure you have this and it's. You have this and it doesn't matter how hard you work, will constantly rejigger everything here. We're going to have to throw a couple people off the boat and whatever. That's the way to do it. I'm so sure of that. Even though I've never built a business or done anything. Sir, could you give me one example of how that worked? Can we cut to commercial? You see what they're doing? Do you see what they're doing? We'll shift, talk a little bit about what Trump is trying to do, which actually are some pro America policies, in just a sec. But first, angel studios. In a world where everything seems to cost more and deliver less, Angel's doing something pretty special for America's 250th birthday. Right now, you can become a premium angel guild member for just $15 a month, normally 20 bucks. And with that price locked in for an entire year, here's what you get. Two free tickets to see Young Washington in theaters on Independence Day, access to Angel's entire streaming library, and tickets to every future angel theatrical release. So if you're planning to see Young Washington anyway, you've already come out ahead. And I think Young Washington's exactly the kind of movie wor supporting. It's the story of George Washington before he became president. It's about a young man facing failure, uncertainty, and enormous challenges before becoming one of the most important figures in American history. What's refreshing, of course, is that in this film, it's not interested in apologizing for America's existence. It's interested in understanding the people and ideas that helped build it. And beyond Young Washington, you'll get access to Angel's entire streaming library, including films like Homestead Green and Gold the Last Rodeo, Something to stand for with Mike Rowe and an upcoming theatrical slate that's incredibly impressive.

Okay, enough for the most part about these crazy people trying to destroy everything that is good. Let's talk about Donald Trump and what he's trying to accomplish right now. Now, obviously the big thing that Trump, I think one way or another has to make happen is the SAVE Act. It looms so large and it really is, is the key to everything. Like if we don't have elections we can trust, we're screwed. It's obvious the Democrats want to flood the country, want to flood the voter rolls, they want fraud and all of the shenanigans that come with it. That's one thing. And Trump is now using the SAVE act in some sense as a point of pressure on Republicans when it comes to other things that hopefully he can accomplish. So listen to this from Fox. The Senate was left in a state of confusion and anger in the wake of President Donald Trump's last minute declaration that he would not sign into law a colossal housing package filled with his own priorities. It comes as Trump is expected to have a closed door lunch with Senate Republicans who are already frustrated with a laundry list of his recent decisions that have either derailed or blown up in their attempts to move forward with his agenda. Trump said he wouldn't side in the 21st century road to Housing to package into law, which passed both chambers with overwhelming bipartisan support. Unless Republicans ram through the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility SAVE Act, a voter ID and citizenship verification package that doesn't have the votes to succeed in the Senate. Today's housing news conference and signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed Save America act, which I consider to be a national emergency, trump said on Truth Social. When asked if Trump would be any more successful in generating the votes to pass the legislation, Cornyn acknowledged that the president had a lot of sway. But if the solution was to eliminate the filibuster, the votes simply weren't there. At some point we've got to deal with reality. Okay, so what Trump, Trump is trying to do everything he can to get the SAVE act passed. I'm not going to sit here and tell you I know everything about this housing act, but let's say the Housing act, it comes from the Trump. A lot of Republicans are on Board, let's say it's roughly good. We'll do a little more of a dive into it next week. Trump is saying, I need some point of leverage over you people because even the Republicans suck. And if we don't blow up the filibuster right now and just use our majority, which we also have if it ever became a tie, because there are some wishy washy people. We've also got JD who gets the decider. Tiebreak, decider. It's like, we've got to make this thing happen. So. So Trump is trying desperately to do something that something like 97% of Republicans are for. And it's something. What was the number we pulled from CNN like, two weeks ago? It's something like 80% of Americans overall are for national voter ID. So it's only radical left lunatics and their media cohorts that are against this thing. Anyway, here's Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville saying that Trump is just trying to save us from communism. Could you get on board this freaking thing? I'm proud of what he did today. He spoke up, he called people out. They had a very good conversation back and forth. But people need to be called out. If you're not going to vote for this country, my God, folks, we are in trouble. And President Trump needs help, and we're not giving him 100% help that he needs. President Trump's right here. You know, again, I travel the country. If we don't do something with the filibuster and we don't get things passed, it'll be the last time we'll have a Republican president or Republican Senate or a House. That's how fast this country is going down to communism. And we need to stop it. We can stop it. It's balls in our court. President Trump said that. Balls in your court. You know, I'm here to support you. Let me know if there's anything I can do. But this is what we have to do to save the United States of America from communism. He's exactly right. You know, I agree with every word of that. I just do. Imagine whether it was next election. Imagine, okay, midterms go the other way. Trump's hung up. Done. We've talked about this a million times. The Republicans start jumping ship, he's lame duck, they'll impeach him again. Republican Party will implode in ways you cannot even imagine. The infighting of who's going to be next and everything else. It will be a disastrous two years ahead of us. But then imagine the Communists, these people that we're now talking about, imagine they get into power. Do you, do you think they will ever give up power? Would they not do these radical left lunatics? Would they not do everything they've said they'd do so that they could stay in power forever? Would they not pack the court? Would they not make D.C. a state? Would they not try to make Puerto Rico a state? Would they not do everything so that they would get more senators, they'd get more Supreme Court justices, and then they'll have all the branches of government. Why would they not do it? First off, they're telling us they would do it. And they don't even care about our systems and our checks and imbalances in the first place. They only care about revolution and power. Republicans, although they often suck generally like the country and like the system and like the way we were founded, right? So they're less inclined to do things, which is why you're getting some of these squishy Republicans right now that don't want to nuke the filibuster and do this by a simple majority as opposed to 60 votes. But if they don't now, this will be it. Because even the Democrats, who aren't the total psycho jihadists, they're awful. They're just awful. Here's Chuck Schumer now on the housing bill. Trump's clown car gets more and more laughable. Ridiculous. Here's what he just did. He cancelled his bill signing on the housing bill. It's utterly amazing. Trump is running away from one of the very few accomplishments that could actually help the American people. Anytime there's an opportunity for Trump to help the American people, he runs the other way, comes up with some idiot thing in his head that this may hurt this one or help this one, his pettiness with his enemies. Americans want to know what Republicans are doing to bring down costs. Americans want to know how Trump plans to end his disastrous war with Iran. Americans want to know whether the GOP will continue going along with Trump's all out assault on voting rights with legislation like the SAVE Act. You know what I'd like to know? For television hosts on the left, which is virtually all mainstream media, television hosts, and for Democrats, I'd like it for everybody, but in this case, we're showing Schumer clips over Democrats. When these guys get up there and they just read things. Schumer is just reading that entire thing. Who wrote that? Because he didn't write. So Schumer's just a body bag up there, right? Like he's just a body that's reading words. Who wrote it? You know, when Trump is up there giving his speeches, obviously someone else wrote the speech, but, you know, Trump is, he's off the cuff. He's seeing parts of the speech that he likes and, you know, he believes in what he's saying and what he's doing, and he can kind of go with it. Schumer, you're just reading someone else's words up there. What are the Republicans trying to do for the economy out of, I don't know, lower taxes, lower regulation, get fairer trade deals which are coming in. There are things that the Republicans are trying to do, and maybe they're not working to the extent that everyone would love, but you guys are giving him no help in doing that. Right. And I guess, Chuck Schumer, you did want the Iranians and the mullahs and the ayatollah to get a nuclear bomb. Now, at least they won't have one for two and a half years until you guys are in power again and then you're going to build one for them. But it's just endless fear and backwards circuitous logic with these people. Here's Scott Jennings one more time, and he does a nice job here. He does something that I try to do all the time, which is play the devil's advocate on some of these things. And we did check the numbers on it. It's virtually 100% of Republicans are for this aid act and it's over 80% of Americans overhaul. That's a huge swath of Democrats. So this is the easiest lift for the Republicans and they seem on a able to do it anyway. Here's Jennings on some of the strategy that Trump may be employing here. Well, I don't think this is just his instinct. I've been all over the country lately and talked to a lot of people out there. This Save America act, it's not just him thinking about it. Millions of Republicans across the country are worried about it. They're asking about it. They're asking their members of Congress about it. You talk to a member of Congress, they'll tell you the number of calls they're getting on it. I'm sure he's hearing about it. So. So I think I'll just play devil's advocate on the strategy. I'm not arguing the housing bill is bad. In fact, it might be good to campaign on. But you could see a world where if Republicans who love President Trump perceive that he was giving up on this thing, that they actually really care about that would be politically depressive to them heading into a midterm where, you know, mid off year turnout is already an anti pump. Yeah, I think that's completely right. He's, he's basically saying what I said before, like in some put aside the housing bill for a second. Let's say it's basically good. It sort of doesn't matter. And yes, next week I promise you we'll unpack it a little bit more. Let's assume it's basically good and that Republicans should be for it and everything else. It does not matter. Two days before the midterms roll around if the SAVE act has not been passed. The thing that Donald Trump said was the most important thing that I believe is the most important thing that I assume you believe is probably the most important thing or let's say the top two most important thing. He just wouldn't have been able to do it. He would not have been able to push his guys forward to make it happen via the filibuster and it won't matter. So, all right, congratulations, Donald Trump. Right? You need some major magic, right, so that you don't lose the midterms, right? Which we know. 70% of the incumbent presidents lose the midterms. Their party loses the midterms. You need some magic. And the magic will be, well, we got the housing bill package through. No, it needs to be something in an all star, shiny golden package. And Donald Trump knows something about that. So he's doing everything he can. And again, unfortunately, most of the Republicans just suck. So we'll see what happens. If you look at Polymarket, this is just the betting markets right now. Balance of power. What's going to happen for the midterms? I mean, it's not looking good. 43% say Democrats sweep. 20% say Republican sweep. Look again, you guys know I'm not as and maybe this is because I am fundamentally just an optimist and maybe that's kind of stupid in this business. But I just think the further they keep going with this communist jihadist nonsense over the next five months or whatever we've got till November, the more it'll just push normies towards us. So that is the silver lining here. Americans love America and they don't like this Hamas Omni cause and all this stuff. So there is some silver lining here. And, and we'll have to see how the next few months shake out. Let's talk about Shopify and then we'll get to some rubinreport.locals.com community Q&A questions.

And doc, I know you're watching. I do wear the sling when I'm not sitting here and I've got this thing, I've got double pillows here and I'm propped up and trying to keep it up as much as possible. But I've got today's show, I've got our pre tape for tomorrow. I've got actual friends. And then actually on Monday we're also pre taping our Monday show because on Sunday night I'm thrilled for this. I was invited to go to Bill Maher, as you know, is getting the Kennedy Center Award. Well now it's the Trump Kennedy Center Award and they're honoring bill in D.C. so I'm going to be going to that on Sunday night and I'll get back a little bit late on Monday or Monday afternoon. So we'll pre tape with Michael Malice who's fantastic, so you'll enjoy that show. Anyway, so I got a long, long day today to deal with this nonsense. Crafty cat says, what are some tricks and ticks you learned that help overcome the nerves when speaking to people you respect or are in authority? You know, I never really was nervous about talking to anybody. The only interview I've mentioned this once or twice before. The only interview where I was ever nervous. And I've interviewed Trump and I've interviewed prime ministers and things like that. If you watch that Thomas Sowell interview from whatever year that was, it's gotta be seven years ago now, something crazy like that, maybe even more. I knew he was such a living legend who I wanted to interview so badly, who doesn't do so many interviews, who is also of a certain age that if you Listen to that interview. The first five minutes, my voice is trembling a little bit or cracking, or I'm almost whispering in a weird way, like, I was nervous. And then. And then once it started, then I kind of locked in and we had. It was, you know, I think one of the. One of the best interviews. It's not for me to say, but I think it was one of the best and most influential interviews I've ever done. And that moment where I said to him, you know, you woke up out of communism. What happened? And he goes, uh, facts. Like, that thing went so mega viral, it's crazy. But I've never. You know, I'll give you one for public speaking, maybe. When Jordan and I were touring together, he used to. People would ask him about similar questions to that, like, how do you talk to audiences without getting nervous? And I have to give a speech for a conference or a couple people at work or something, and I'm freaking out. And Jordan and I actually had very different approaches on this. And this is why you have to figure out your own approach. Jordan. Jordan would say, you know, if you're speaking to a thousand people in a crowd, he always would say, find one person and kind of talk to them. And I could see Jordan doing it during the show. He'd find one person over here, and then he would look this way and he would try to lock in with one person over here. And that was his way of just. It would kind of take away that he was talking to a thousand people. I actually do it the other way. Like, when I'm up. We did the show with DeSantis, probably a thousand people there last week at the Fillmore. And to me, if I'm just looking in a sea of people, it doesn't matter if there's a million people there or 50 people there or anywhere in between. Like, I'm just sort of seeing the sea. Sometimes you can't even see all the people. And depending on the lighting, you literally might not be able to, because sometimes the stage lights are so bright you can't even see the people. But I would just say more than anything else, if you know what you're gonna. Not what you're gonna say, if you just know what you believe. If they say, like, a lot of times, I'll get a call. Dave, could you do a 15 or half hour speech of this? That. The other thing. And I never have a fully prepared speech. What I have is usually like three or four. I have some line that I want to open with, or I usually try to watch the speaker before me so I can say something about that and then go from there. But then I just kind of bullet it out. I'm just like, all right, I got four things that I want to say. I don't know what I'm going to say for this whole half hour, but I know I want to get to these things. And then I just. It's sort of how I do the show here and then I just kind of tell the story. Story around that. But you just have to find your own mechanism, really, is the answer. Carlton says. Dave, any insight into why the world would the why in the world the mainstream media would go along with these commies on the left. It's their country too, that's being destroyed. I mean, I think it's largely what I was saying about energy chasing. And it's like we're all narrating the end of the country if we don't fix this thing. But everyone's just energy. I don't think Ro Khanna, who made $230 million in investments and whatever his family did and everything else, believes in any of this nonsense. But he's energy chasing. That's a political version of it in the mainstream media version of it. So that ding dong. Wait, do we get the picture of him from the mostly peaceful protests? What's his name again? Ali Velshi. It's like he's like, yeah, look at him. That was at the height of the BLM insanity and there's building blowing up behind him. And they're mostly peaceful protests. Like these clowns. Why do they go along with any of it? They're just going where they think the energy is. They are literally chasing a shiny thing. And whether it drags us all to the abyss or not in some sense is irrelevant. And I would also say a lot of these people, particularly the media people, they're not that bright. They don't even realize what they're doing in some sense. I think some of them are very cynical and doing it purely for clicks and money, say Tucker. But others, others are just doing whatever. That's why I think it's so interesting when Chuck just gets up there and reads it something who gives a shit who Chuck Schumer is who wrote the thing that you're reading? That would be way more interesting to me. Glenn says, when you voted for Barry Hussein, what was your reasoning? Was it because you agreed with most of his politics and opponents, McCain and Romney were terrible candidates, or because like many who voted for him, you felt it was the Right. Time for a black president. You know, it's hard to remember myself back then because so much has changed since then. But I will say I was. Well, first off, I was a lefty at the time. You know, I was. There was a time there's a video somewhere. People that hate me keep posting it. There's a video from me like 12 years ago talking about how I was a Bernie supporter and they think they're getting me. It's like, no, I woke up out of that stuff. So I was a lefty and the progressives at the time were sort of just, they were kind of liberals on steroids. So there was something that worked, there was some energy around it. They weren't full on communist, communist jihadists yet. I started realizing that's what they were going to become. So that's why none of this is surprising to me right now. But with Obama, I mean, I think like most people I was caught up in the hope and change thing, the positivity. This guy, he looks the part and he's a great speaker. And it was like McCain was McCain who was a decent human being who I think over the years his legacy will probably be better and better, who never, never went below the belt to attack Obama or anything else. You know, he was kind of old and whatever and it was just like, ah, here's this exciting thing. So again it was like the shiny thing. And most people are just chasing a shiny thing. So I don't think it was much more than that. And then when it came to the one with Romney, I didn't love Obama for those four years but there was, there was still enough shine on it. There just was. I know you probably want some real like was there something to okay, in America we'll have a black president. Yeah, probably. Probably had a little of that the first time around. We're so racist. We had a two time black president. I know no European country that's existed way longer than us has had a black prime minister. But you know we're racist over here. I was just as factory settings man. Most people are just brought up factory settings. Democrats good care about people. Republicans mean care about money. And I think that that confuses a lot of people. We've got a couple more questions on the other side.

Prolonlife.com Dave Lowbrian says maybe it's too early to know, but do you think that your injury will interfere with any plans you may have when you're off the grid? Well, that's kind of one of the reasons I was depressed last week because I really, I'm not even gonna try to move it. I really can't move my arm like I was showing the guys like I could. I got a little something there and it kind of sucks and I haven't been able to work out. I'm just trying to take like short walks in the morning and everything. We haven't fully figured out what we're doing for August yet, but I, I'm also going away for a couple days with two of my best child friends to celebrate all of our fiftieths together. And I want to be able to do stuff right. Like I really want to be able to, you know, like run around or jump in a pool and whatever it is like that a normal person does. I want to be able to do those things again. The doc said to me that I'm already, I had the checkup on Monday. He said I'm healing ahead of schedule, which was nice to see this freaking bump though. The ligaments just have to strengthen and pull it down. That's the only way it's going to get fixed. And it may never go fully down without surgery. But I can deal with like a little bump here that's okay. What I can't deal with is not having a functional arm, but I am, he said I'm ahead of schedule and I am doing stem cells on July 1st. So I'm seeing Dr. Richie Striano, who did what I think was like miracle work on my knee after I had 14 tears in my knee a couple years ago. And then I was playing ball, I think six weeks later. And I thought I was never going to be able to play again. So if he can work some magic here, here on that, I think I'll be off the sling in probably two weeks. And then you just get into PT and I'm just going to do, I'm going to literally do everything I can possibly do to ensure that whatever we do for August, you know, I don't think I'm going to be doing any major mountain climbing, let's put it that way. Mark says. But it shouldn't affect my ability to lay on the beach. I would imagine that I will have to use my right hand for the tequila, but I can make that work. Mark says. Do you think JD Asked Trump to let him lead the Iran pr perhaps to regain some of the spotlight from Rubio? If so, I think it's backfired. Your thoughts? It's a good question. I mean, I think there's a couple things going on here. You know, Rubio actually has been in the Gulf the last couple days and it seems like he's trying to tie the last few things together, particularly what's going on with Hezbollah in Lebanon. That's the last part of this. That's still kind of a hot war. So if Rubio deals with that and JD Deals with the big stuff, yes, as I pointed out, like there were some moments with JD that did not seem great, but overall they're managing a whole bunch of things and as well. Look, Trump said it himself. Trump was like, look, I sent JD There and if it doesn't work, I'll blame it on him. And if it does work, I'm gonna take the credit. And I think that is those are the off cuff remarks from Trump where that's it. I think, I think he's giving JD a chance here to see how statesmanlike he is, to see how presidential he is. There's nolook. Trump is a unicorn. He's one of a kind. He walks into a room, there's nothing like it. Could Rubio walk into a room and command the presence or have the presence and command the respect that a US President could have? I think it's Pretty obvious that he can and has grown into it and can communicate that stuff really well. I think Trump was using this as a little bit of a technique for JD and, you know, everyone can decide whether theywhether they think it has worked or not. But if at the end of this, we get some rough deal that stops the nukes, at least while Trump's in office, they're all going to say it's going to stop it forever. That's just. I just don't buy that. I don't see how we can trust these people, nor can we trust a future Democrat administration. But if the nukes are done and Iran's going to stop funding terror, at least for now, we got something pretty decent, right? And it wasn't at major cost. It wasn't at major cost for America, and I think that overall would be good. So he's got them both working on it and, you know, we'll see. We'll see where it shakes out. But again, I still think, and it's so early to talk about any of this, but I think Trump wants a contested convention. I don't think he's going to endorse anybody right out of the gate when he's getting ready to go off into the sunset. I think he wants a show. And we're going to get Rubio, we're going to get J.D. there's going to be 10 other guys. Who knows who they'll be, but I think that's what he's going to want. James says, I know you're not a huge soccer guy, but what's the energy like in Miami with the World cup going on and it being a predominantly Hispanic city that loves soccer? I did watch my first ever soccer game last week. I watched Mexico versus South Korea. It was one nothing. Mexico. The Mexican goalie had a freaking sick, sick save with like a minute to go. I don't know, I find soccer, like, it's kind of boring. It's a little too slow. Who's playing in Miami right now? Connor just put this together. Saudi Arabia. Love them, love them. Uruguay, who I guess played last, did Uruguay played last night? No, two nights ago, I think. Yeah. Cabo Verde, Brazil. Scotland. Portugal, Colombia. Yeah, the energy here. I mean, yesterday I went. All I've been told for my birthday is I have to get a new suit. So I went yesterday to the Brickell City center and I got myself a new suit. And the amount of jerseys, soccer jerseys everywhere, everyone's wearing a soccer jersey. Lot of oh, and I mean here, look at some of this video of just the flags that are being flown. Yeah. So there's great energy in the city, obviously, and tons of people are coming. And there's also been so many beautiful videos of people that are coming to America for the first time that hear all these horrible things about America, how racist we are and how awful everything is. And they're coming and they're like, boy, this place is pretty freaking spectacular. So that's pretty beautiful, I guess. Brazil beat Scotland 3 nothing yesterday. Was that yesterday? Yeah. All right, cool. All right, guys, that is our show for today. I thank you for watching tomorrow. We've got who's on tomorrow. Sarah Gonzalez. Sarah Gonzalez and Chad Pulled Prather, former colleagues at the Blaze. Chad's not over there anymore, but I do enjoy chatting with both of them.
