This is the Rubin report. It is June 17th in the year 2025. We are live streaming on rumble, YouTube and locals. We are crushing it in the subscriber game. You know I don't ask much from you good people, but when I do, you really come through. We got 6,000 subscribers yesterday. We are on our way to crush the 3 million by August 1st. Although look at the numbers. It has dropped significantly since we started this quest. Last week we were at about 77% of those of you who watch are actually not subscribed, which is incredible. Now it's down to 67% and we've gotten about 40,000 subscribers in the last week or so. Get us to the 3 mil people. Thank you for listening. That's all I will ask of you today. Well, you know what? One more why not? I'm doing a lot for you over here. Also subscribe to the Actual Friends podcast. We're doing a funny thing over there with Russell Brand and Sage Steele, Jillian Michaels, Roseanne Barr. We have a rotating cast of characters coming in every week. The link is in the description below and yes, we have a lot to talk about today. I have extra paper in my file here. Trump, Tucker, Iran, Israel, Democrats, burning cities, migration, deportations, all of the words, adjectives, verbs, adverbs. I'm spitting while I'm talking. There's just a lot to do, so let's just dive right in. I wanna start with a throwback because, you know, as we're watching some of the fighting right now, and I tried to address it as calmly as I could yesterday, and then, you know, sometimes on Twitter, things aren't as calm as they could be. But, you know, one of the things that I'm coming around to right now is that Donald Trump has largely been right about everything. Right. I always talk about, like, being right directionally. You don't have to be right about everything. Like, I'm definitely not right about everything. I often get political predictions wrong, but I think I have been, and I have a pretty good track over the last decade of being directionally right about the big things. I haven't fallen for the hoaxes. I've largely been right about the big things. Covid, Russia, blah, blah, blah. Trump has a way better track record on me when it comes to being right on the important things. He's been right about almost everything. And as we're at this interesting moment right now where the left is melting down and we're. We're entering this phase of the Israel, Iran war that America either has subtly been involved or will be more actively involved, or there's some combination of that. We're seeing some infighting on the right. So I want to start with a little retrospective on Trump, because about 10 years ago, yeah, it was 2015. It's hard to believe how quickly this decade has passed. Everyone was laughing at Donald Trump when he said he wanted to be president when he went down that golden elevator, which actually was 10 years ago yesterday, believe it or not. And I want to start with this quick compilation. It's going to start with Ann Coulter on Real Time with Bill Maher talking about Donald Trump becoming the president. Because I want to illustrate that Donald Trump has been right, has fought the system, has done all of the things that everyone said couldn't be done, and nobody has a better track record. And I think maybe in the moment we are in right now, we should be thinking about that and giving the guy a little leeway. So take a look, Ann. Which Republican candidate has the best chance of winning the general election of the declared ones right now? Donald Trump. I'm just really happy right now. A billionaire vanity candidate Taking the escalator to the White House. Hey, only losers walk unconventional. Will people who love him love it? Yeah. But will it get him anywhere close to becoming the nominee or the president, United States? I think not. Can we stipulate for the purposes of this conversation that Donald Trump will never be president of the United States? How do you even have a straight face right now? There are no words to describe what just happened. Ed Rendell, do you have any doubt that this is anything more than a carnival show? It's like, I can't. I can't tell if this is politics or if this is just PR from a celebrity. Okay. So I think that's a nice way to start the show because they laughed at Ann Coulter and everyone laughed. And I suspect if I could find videos of mine from around that time. Well, certainly I didn't support Trump the first time around, as you know, but I also, I didn't have Trump derangement syndrome, but I did largely think it was just this, like, circus sideshow thing that we all, that many of us thought it was right. And I want to give credit to the people that saw what he was and what the vision was and everything else. I think that's a nice way to start the show today because, look, you got Ann Coulter. If we're just doing a check, mark. Ann Coulter, big check. You got it right. Joy Reed X John Stewart. X John Heilman. He's the guy that Russell Brand crushed on Real Time. You remember that clip? X Mike Barnacle. I don't know if you're in the biz anymore. X Se Cup. I haven't heard of you in years. Ed Rendell. He was the former. He is alive. I wasn't sure if he was alive or not. He's the former governor of Pennsylvania, if I'm not mistaken. But he's long on all of these. And Rachel Maddow, who's become like, you know, the $20 million fraudster of all time, they were all wrong about Donald Trump. And that leads us to this moment, has this man who has been right about all the big things, who has fought the system, the system has tried to jail him, it has tried to impeach him, it has literally tried to kill him. Does he deserve a little bit of our support right now as he's trying to quite literally change the world? He's trying to end old blood feuds, and I think he does. That's obviously what my position is. So now I want to get into a little bit of the spat between Trump and Tucker Carlson. So check this out from leading report breaking Tucker Carlson says that if President Trump gets the US Involved in Iran, it would precipitate the downfall of the American empire and effectively end his presidency. So let me say first, a little bit of a offshoot of what I said yesterday, which is that a lot of the people who are, who are radically against Trump right now, I think in some sense have a legitimate argument. Right? There's a legitimate argument when you look back at the American adventures over the last, let's say 30 years. So if you look at Iraq under George W. Bush or you look at Libya under Barack Obama, and you look at Syria and several of the other things that we've done, Afghanistan, obviously we had a 20 plus year war that no one knew why we were at war at all. And then we had the most utterly embarrassing end of that war, horrific end of that war under Joe Biden. But if you look at all of those adventures, there's a lot of reasons to be skeptical of our ability to do, let's say, positive things in that part of the world. So that's legit. I am putting a sticker, a bumper little tag on that. That is a legit argument. But now I would like to offer something that maybe has a little bit more robustness and reality to it, which is how significantly the world has changed in those 10 years from the laughing at Trump to Trump now being the two time president who they tried to assassinate and impeach and end all of his businesses and everything else. Everything else. He has radically changed the world. The Middle east is radically different. The Gulf states have modernized and have given up on a lot of the radical jihad insanity. The other countries right now that are all bordering Israel, as I said yesterday, 1947, 1948, they all jumped in to try to destroy Israel. 1967, they all jumped in to try to destroy Israel. 1973, they all jumped in to destroy Israel. They're not doing it this time because they're realizing it's there to stay. There is a new world that has been, that has been forged, let's say, over these last 75 years. And Donald Trump two months ago in Saudi Arabia gave that speech and he said, get on board, get on board the freedom train, the America train. Get on board capitalism and let's figure out how to have a positive world together. And Iran. Now, I think it is clear in Trump's mind that Iran is the last peace that is stopping the new world, the golden age, whatever you want to call it, from being born. And it's happening right now. And by the way, we're not doing anything as it relates to this. Israel is doing everything right. We might be involved in some defensive measures or maybe we're going to drop a bomb on Fordo or something, but nobody wants American troops or anything else. So. Okay. I think you can see I'm trying to be as fair and I'm trying to give the devil his due and I'm trying to take the other position as much as possible. Anyway, Tucker obviously is going at Trump on this. I would say Tucker is doing what I would say is a mistaken attack on Trump, taking the pure libertarian position, which is we should not be involved in anything. And I don't think that Trump thinks that's what America first is. I think Trump thinks America first is that we have a moral authority in the world. So Trump, Trump, yesterday outside the White House was asked about Tucker Carlson. I don't know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen. Thank you. All right, sorry, that was not outside the White House, obviously. That was at G7. But. So there's obviously some tension there. There's obviously some tension. I also want to say that for all the tension that we're seeing right now, remember, the left over the last however many years went insane and they didn't know how to have any fights. And there was really no. With the, I would say with the limited pushback that me and a few other people offered through the IDW and what we were doing online. There was a collection of old school liberals, but it was a very small group of us and almost no political people behind us that were offering some pushback of the lunacy of left. What we're seeing on the right right now, even though it's annoying and we don't want to see it. And you know, there are people that were former friends that now seemingly are enemies and everything else, although who's better at bringing former enemies in as friends? It's Donald Trump. At least. We're seeing some, some ideological warring on the right. And I think that is good. Anyway, it seemingly is escalating with the Trump and Tucker situation. And Trump, Trump put this up on Truth Social yesterday. Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Okay? So that, that, by the way, has been Trump's position for over 10 years. If you want to end all of this, you can't have Iran threatening. It's not just Israel, but all of the Arab states, even parts of Europe with a nuke and ballistic missiles and everything else. If this ends with Iran, if this ends right now, if the, if the regime actually falls, if the people of Iran take their country back, think of what a blow it will be to worldwide terrorism. Their proxies, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Hamas, have basically been completely destroyed. There will be no real state sponsor of terrorism. You know me, I'm not some Pollyannish like, oh, my God, we're going to have Kumbaya, utopian peace. But there would be a massive shift in the, in the worldwide psyche, I think, where it would be like, enough of this, enough of this. If you want to be on board the success train which America is paving, which is why we have these great relationships now in parts of the Middle east that we never had before, then you just have to put the ancient hatreds aside. And Iran is the only place that is really holding on to these things in any meaningful way. I've got another here from Trump on truth social. America first means many great things, including the fact that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Make America great again. So he's really driving a stake in this and he's saying, I am the one that created America First. I know what MAGA is. I'm the duly elected President of the United States, and I'm going to decide it. But now I want to jump back to a tweet that Tucker put out, I think, two days ago, that I read yesterday, because I think we can, we can start unpacking some of the nuance here. He wrote, the real divide isn't between people who support Israel and people who support Iran or the Palestinians. The real divide is between those who casually encourage violence and those who seek to prevent it, between warmongers and peacemakers. Who were the warmongers? They would include anyone who's calling Donald Trump today to demand airstrikes and other direct US Military involvement in a war with Iran. On that list, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Rupert Murdoch, Ike Perlmutter, and Miriam Adelson. At some point, they will all have to answer for this, but should know their names. Now, again, leave that. Leave that up for just a second. This idea of casually incurring violence. Iran is the one who has put their proxies all over the Middle east and who has committed terrorism all over the world. So pushing back against them is not casually encouraging violence, actually ending them. Could. It might. Right? It might. It might not. But it might also, as I said yesterday, someone's leaking in the White House. How is it that Tucker knows And would have the, the. Well, what I would say is the audacity to put out a list of who Donald Trump is on the phone with. How is he getting access to that? That seems like a real problem having nothing to do with the meta problem of Iran and Israel and the war and everything else. That seems like a problem. Right. But also just the basic idea, I know you guys get it. Of peace through strength. When, when there are bad actors out there who have terror proxies all over the world who commit state sponsored terror and everything else, who have tried to assassina Trump as the Iranians have, do you just say, oh, well, we just want peace, Right. If you live in a little village and there's a village next to you and you're just a peaceful village, you're just nice people, you're like the hobbits, your little people with your hairy feet and your small huts and you don't want to bother anybody. But on the other side is a bunch of, what are they? Orcs. And they're really nasty people and they just not, they're just not happy with their own nastiness over there. They want to bring their nastiness to your nice little shire and they want to shave your foot and put you in a cage and well, it's not a war. You're not a warmonger if you say you can't do that, please don't do that. And I think that's some of the confusion. Constantine Kissen, who has really been great, I think over the last couple years on a lot of this stuff, he wrote the real divide. He retweeted what Tucker put up there and he wrote the real divide isn't between people who support Israel and people who support Iran or the Palestinians. So you can see he's copying Tucker's words. The real divide is between people who think that the way to achieve peace is to let Iran build a nuclear weapon and people who aren't retarded. Okay, so the word retarded is fully back. I mean, I think if anything has happened in 25, that's really the thing. But, but that in some sense is the point. If you want peace, how would we get peace? Would we get peace by doing nothing right now, that the world should do nothing, that this country that is trying to get nuclear weapons that nobody doubts is spreading state sponsored terror all over the world, that they should get nuclear weapons while they are threatening Israel and the United States, does that get us to peace or does that get us to a much more dangerous sort of Cold War type situation where countries will be in a constant nuclear standoff. And even Saudi Arabia has said repeatedly, if Iran gets nukes, we're going to get nukes. So then you proliferate all over the area. Is that how you get peace? Or do you maybe get peace by saying to the one country in the world that is not on board Trump's new mission, you can't do it anymore. Enough is enough. So sometimes, again, you have to exercise strength to get peace. I don't know if any of this will work, but I do know there has been no one better in modern politics than Donald Trump at doing the unthinkable. Charlie Kirk, I thought, summed it up quite well. Moments like this. I have full and complete trust in President Trump and I do, too. I read that tweet and I thought, I do too, more than anyone else. Right? Like, who deserves our cred? Who deserves a little leeway? Who deserves. It's sort of what I've been saying in the months of Trump, Trump's presidency having nothing to do with Iran or Israel, but when it's come to deportations or when it came to the signal scandal or any of this stuff, it's like, I think Trump deserves leeway here. It doesn't mean he's going to get every single specific tactical thing right. But is he directionally right? He absolutely is. And there's no evidence that he isn't. Michael Knowles at the Daily Wire wrote this. Whatever one thinks of the Iran conflict, ideologues are vastly overestimating the effect of our participation on President Trump's approval rating. The in. The implication being that Trump does what Trump thinks is right. And again, he's been largely right about the big things, and not only right about the big things, it's just like the deportation thing. He's been saying what he is going to do for a long time. Here he is in January of 24, not January, five months ago, January of 24. I just don't want them to have a nuclear weapon. And they weren't going to have one. And okay, so Biden, the Biden regime went back into the negotiations with Iran. They gave them. What was the, what was the amount of money? Was it $6 billion? I think it was $6 billion, remember? And it was going to be, they said it was, it was going to be non fungible money and then suddenly the money got there and it became quitty quickly fungible. 16 bill. I dropped a 10 bill on that thing. The mullahs, the mullahs were Pretty happy about that. Anyway, the point is, Trump has been remarkably consistent about this. And not only that, as I showed you yesterday, Trump gave them 60 days to negotiate, and then on day 61, things changed. This is. That's how you. That's how you negotiate. Right? They should have just read Art of the Deal. I'm gonna show you a couple Charlie Kirk clips here because Charlie obviously has been one of the leading promoters of maga. He's out there. He has. Charlie has a incredible ability, I would say, to feel for what the younger, newer generation of MAGA and Trump is all about. Trump. Charlie went on Jesse Waters on Fox last night and talked about this moment we're in and why he is happy that Donald Trump is president right now. Bernie Sanders. Charlie just says he's gonna introduce a resolution, the no War vs Iran Act. He says it's gonna be an illegal war the President is gonna take us into. Some people on the right, you know, they're saying, don't forget about Iraq. How are you reconciling these issues? Well, first, this is the moment that President Trump was elected for. Thank God that we have President Trump in the Oval Office with this high stakes situation. Look, President Trump, 10 years ago, he went down the golden escalator. And when he announced for the presidency 10 years ago to this day, he remade the Republican Party on foreign policy. He said no more permanent wars in the Middle East. He criticized the Bush Cheney philosophy of endless quagmires. Albeit, though he is not an isolationist, he is willing to use violent and precise force against our enemies, like taking out Soleimani or dropping the Moab if and when necessary. You know, it's interesting. Let me. I was just scribbling a few things down there. You know, talk about taking out Soleimani, who is the Iranian general that Trump took out. In Trump term 1:45, they dropped the MOAB, the mother of all bombs. And everyone was like, oh, my God, what's Trump doing? It's World War Three. But Trump uses policy to change reality, right? So he dropped the mother of all bombs. Everyone was like, world War iii. And then it wasn't World War Three. He killed the Iranian general, and it wasn't World War iii. What he does is he shows his enemies, hey, I'm not messing around. And I think that's largely what he's doing here. And by the way, we have not dropped one bomb on Iran, and it is possible we will not drop one bomb on Iran. And there is no reason we should have a boot in Iran or Anything else? Could we offer some material support to Israel on defensive measures? So as they're getting pummeled with rockets, which fortunately, it seems like Iran is running out of it sounds like they have about 500 left. Could we offer some more defense so that they can't get through the shield? Possibly. Could we maybe fly a B52 over to drop a bomb on Fordo? Maybe we could that Trump is going to have to decide all of these things and I will trust his decisions in these matters. But Kirk is making a good point that Trump was never a pure isolationist. I think partly what's happening is here is that Tucker and the most isolationist wing of the Libertarian Party thought that America first means America only. And that's not really what it means. We live in a world. We don't want to be a globalist country, meaning we have some giant thing above us that tells us all what to do and then disintegrates the nation state. Right. We want to be America first and then we can figure out ways, hopefully, to do good in the world. Now, again, you can look back on some of the military adventures of the past and say they didn't work out, but it is clearly a new world right now. The amount of work Israel has done to take out the bad guys. And now basically we're at some. If I could do a video game version of it, we're at the final boss. Like that's what. Who's a final boss in a game that you kids are playing now? Bowser. I could have done Bowser. We're at bowser. We're at world eight four in eight bit. Super Mario Brothers 1985. We're at bowser. Okay? And all you gotta do, jump over the fire once, go right under his fat ass. Here's a little more from Charlie Kirk. President Trump understands his base extraordinarily well. He knows that his base does not want another Iraq. He does not want Libya, does not want a civil war or bedlam where the United States is left carrying the bag. But also, President Trump has been morally clear for a decade. Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. And President Trump has the talent, the expertise to be able to thread that needle. The generation that I represent, Jesse, the under 30 crowd, they absolutely are very war weary. Many of them voted for President Trump on college campuses because they did not want to see a Joe Biden or George Bush philosophy where we get into this endless conflict where we're sending hundreds of billions of dollars. I think President Trump will be able to balance Those two things while defending our allies, saying that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon without having to deploy a single American troop or even having America involved from the sky. President Trump can get that deal done while fulfilling the mandate that the voters gave him. All right, I'll get to that in just a second. Do we have a picture of Bowser, by any chance? Do we have. That is. Oh, you're giving me a later Bowser. So that's a, that's like an N64 bowser. I was talking about an eight bit bowser. But yes, Bowser was the big, let's say steroid laden turtle who Mario was trying to rescue the princess from. That's how simple things were back in 1985. Now we have real problems. 1985, that, that was the biggest issue of the day. It's like you got this Italian plumber who's eating mushrooms to rescue a princess from a turtle. That's where we were at. But Charlie's point is right. Trump can do both of these things at the same time. He cannot reject, he doesn't reject the base by doing what is right for America and its allies. And we don't have to be heavily involved. But imagine day after, look, we don't know what will happen. None of us have a crystal ball. But imagine day after, imagine the regime actually falls. The Iranian people rise up. And by the way, this is not as similar when people are like, oh, but it didn't happen in Iraq, it didn't happen in Libya. Iranians have a much, much stronger national. Their Persian culture and history is much stronger. There are more systems in place to get these people to take their country back. But imagine the mullahs fall. Khomeini is either dead or he's sent into exile in Russia. Or where do they send people in Star Trek, Rurapente, something like that. They send him over there. That was a hell of a reference. And I'm not even a Star Trek guy. But imagine day after, suddenly, Iran no longer sponsors state terror. Libya then is like, oh, my God, Hezbollah, an Iranian army that took over our country is no longer part of this. Lebanon is for the Lebanese again. Jordan and Egypt sat out the war. They can have their countries for their people. Hamas will have no funding anymore. The Houthis, I'll be like, shit, I guess the party's over, right? And then again, it doesn't mean that there will be no problems, but it would literally be a new way of looking at the world. And in some sense, doesn't that feel like Everything that has happened over the last 20 years, technologically, militarily, all of these ideologically. Doesn't it feel like we're kind of ready to flip the script on this thing? I think that's what Trump sees. I really do. Let's talk about home title lock for a minute and then we'll talk about Trump leaving G7 where he actually made some really good points with some people who are not too kind to a peaceful world and a non globalist version of the world. And a bunch more homeowners. Listen up. Your home title and equity are at risk in today's AI driven, cyber hacked world.

This is where all the big countries show up and they talk about his stuff. You know, you get, you get England, you get Narnia, you get Kurasan. All the big cast of characters are over there. Trump is up there. And obviously all of the talk was, is America going to get involved in this? Do we let Israel finish the job? If that, if let is even the right word. They're like, just what the hell, high hell is going to happen here? And Trump made, I think, a fairly clear statement. Have you heard any signals or seen any messages from intermediaries that Iran wishes to de escalate the conflict? Yeah. What have you heard? What have you heard from the Iranians? They'd like to talk, but they should have done that before. I had 60 days and they had 60 days. And on the 61st day I said, we don't have a deal. They have to make a deal. And it's painful for both parties, but I'd say Iran, Iran is not winning this war. And they should talk and they should talk immediately before. All right, so I don't know if they are going to talk. It seems like the ship has sailed in some sense on that, Right? Like they've been lobbing endless missiles, hundreds of missiles, into civilian centers, largely in Tel Aviv. Every single one aimed to kill as many civilians as possible. It's the complete difference from what Israel is doing in Iran, where they're going after military infrastructure and they're going after the leaders. Every single rocket that Iran shoots is designed to kill as many civilians. And they've done it. They've killed about a dozen people, I think, and hundreds wounded. But his point is, I gave him 60 days. We're at day 61 and what he doesn't want right now. And I think this also shows it's. To Charlie's point, it also shows how Trump thinks about things a little bit differently. Like, you don't just have a ceasefire because it makes everybody feel good. In the two plus years of the Gaza war, everyone has one of these temporary ceasefires, have a temporary ceasefire, allow a little aid and release some of the hostages. But none of that resolves every anything, right? It just elongates everything. What Trump is saying this time is, I don't want a ceasefire. I want to end. And an end basically will be when the regime itself, not the people, the regime itself has been largely destroyed. And why is it that Trump wants this? Because he does not want people who chant Death to America as their number one political slogan to have a nuke. Do you want to see regime change in Iran? High interest debt is one of the toughest opponents you'll face unless you power up with a Sofi personal loan.

And we're well on our way to making sure that happens again. It's just Trump's like, like normal, decent way of saying the truth. We have never had in my lifetime a president. Maybe Reagan had some level of it. Reagan was obviously a little more polished. But we have never, let's say had in the last 20 years a more honest politician who is just telling, hey, guys, this is what I think. This is how I negotiate. You have certain amount of time. If you don't do it, we are gonna do this again. It's the exact same thing as the deportations for months. States. Take care of it. Take care of it, Take care of it. Cities and the sanctuary stuff. Take care of it. Take care. Oh, you didn't. Okay, we're going in. So there is a consistent through line here with this man that is absolutely extraordinary. And maybe he's right when he tweets out, I never get the credit I deserve. So I'm giving you a little extra something today, Donnie. I hope it works out. Here's trump leaving the G7 early and. Well, why did he do it? I think we're probably going to find out today. Well, I have to be back. Very important. I want to just thank our great host. Thank you, Canada. But you probably see what I see, and. And I have to be back as soon as I can and have dinner with these wonderful leaders, and then I get on the plane, I have to be back early. Have you talked to the National Security? You know, there's also something interesting. I'll get to the specifics of what he said, but there's something interesting about the imagery of all of that. Can you put up the images again? Just cut the audio and I'll talk over it for a second. Think of all of the G7 summits and all of the other summits where Biden would be there and everybody would be like, oh, my God, there he is. Is he confused? He's wandering off into a forest there. Everyone there looking at Trump, they respect Trump. Trump is the only one that matters there, right? Who matters more? Is it Carney who's hosting the thing? Is it Macron from France who would do nothing? Is it. What's his name, the British Prime Minister, Starmer, who is watching his country fall to jihadism right now? Trump is the man again. He's leading the world again. And I think they actually secretly all appreciate it. Interestingly, Trump put this out on Truth Social right after. This is actually hilarious publicity seeking. President Emmanuel Macron of France mistakenly said that I left the G7 summit in Canada to go back to D.C. to work on a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Wrong. He has no idea why I'm on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a ceasefire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay tuned. And that again, that's just Trump at his best. How does Macron know you think Trump was like, listen, I'm going over there because I'm gonna push for a ceasefire. And I really want to tell you that because you've been so great. Obviously not. Trump was like, I gotta get outta here. You all see the shit that's going on and I'm gonna go deal with it. And then Macron, for his own political purposes, puts out some nonsensical statements. So again, it's just, and here's just more good Trump again from truth. Iran should have signed the deal I told them to sign. What a shame and waste of human life. Simply stated, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I said it over and over again. Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran. So we'll show you some video of what's happening in Tehran right now. And it's, it's quite a bit of a circus. And again, they in essence brought it on themselves because had they taken the initial wave from Israel and not gone on the offensive and then maybe been like, okay, guys, we're going to, you know, we're going to give up, we're going to resign, retire, go out to pasture, maybe this wouldn't be happening. But we'll do that on the other side first. Hillsdale College. Have you ever heard someone say capitalism is evil or tried to define it yourself, only to realize it's more complicated than it seems? That's why I'm taking Hillsdale College's free online course, Understanding Capitalism. In just seven lectures, it breaks down what capitalism really is, how it works, why it depends on freedom and property rights, and why it actually promotes morality. It's one of over 40 free courses Hillsdale offers on everything from the Constitution to ancient history. No costs, no catch. Go to Hillsdale. Edu Dave to sign up for Understanding Capitalism today. That's Hillsdale. Edu Dave okay, so let's get you caught up on, you know, we've covered a lot of what happened yesterday. Let's get you caught up on literally the granular stuff like the movement over the last 24 hours. This is from Ronnie Adkins, who's an Army Ex commentator. He wrote, so in the last 24 hours, we've moved a bunch of tankers into Europe and Beyond from the US Trump refused to sign the joint G7DE escalation statement on Iran Israel. Trump left the G7 summit early. Trump ordered the NSC to be waiting for him in the Situation Room. When he returned, Trump warned Tehran to evacuate. Take from that all of what you will. And now let's throw to Trump. So where are we at right now? The G7 wanted him to sign some doc. And this is what Macro was alluding to, like just ceasefire, just everyone stop. We'll never get to a conclusion. Right. It'll be exactly what we've done in Gaza and what we always do in all of these military ventures. There's no winner, there's no loser. Let's just prolong this thing forever. And why would they want to prolong this thing forever? Well, maybe it distracts from their own domestic problems. Maybe they're making money off it one way or another. Who knows? But Trump is the decider. So again, he doesn't want some fake ceasefire. He wants something real here. He is on that. What specifically is better than a ceasefire? What are you looking for here? And then a real end, not a ceasefire. And then. So something that will be permanent. Yeah. Or giving up entirely. Is that okay, too? Are you close there? Are you possible? Is that possible in the next 24? Why not? Certainly possible. Complete give up. That's possible. And guys, I don't know how many of these videos I have to watch and that you have to watch to see how profoundly honest he's being. It's actually kind of insane. And it's hard to understand if you just watch other politicians, he's, what do I want? An end. He's not making it complicated. An end. Two words. And wars used to end. World War II ended. People signing documents. We're done. We give up. We're going to, you know, we're going to be refugees elsewhere or whatever it might be, not the people of the countries, but like the leaders. We're going to go into exile, we're gonna give up power. Some of us are gonna go to jail. Like, there is an end to a war and in a real world sense. But we unfortunately have fought wars over the last however many years where no one ever actually wins. Right. Look, Afghanistan, which was a debacle, a 20 year, the longest war in American history debacle, how did it end? It ended with us fleeing and then the Taliban taking our military equipment. That's not an end, that's an extension. He wants an end of this thing. Warning people to leave Tehran and watch this. Millions of cars currently fleeing. This is from last night. Now, again, this is because Trump is warning them. Israel right now is warning them in Farsi, which is the native language that most Iranians speak, but they're doing it also in Arabic, they're doing it in English, warning them leave Tehran. We are trying to take out the nuclear sites and they're the nuclear sites and the military sites, and they're doing it while The Iranians are shooting rockets in their population centers densely population centers, most notably Tel Aviv. This is an interesting one. This is Iranian state media newscaster who's in the middle of presenting live while her studio gets bombed. Sedal Ye Motejavis Trading shouldn't have barriers.

I'm getting word right now through the earpiece here that that woman has just been hired. She will be the 9pm host on MSNBC after Rachel Maddow starting next week. Okay, you get the point. Like we're doing something different here. This is not the same old thing. And I hope for those that are on the fence about this, I don't know, I have no more insight than you do as to what actually will happen on the other side. But I think what I'm trying to illustrate right now is that Trump deserves the Runway to see if we can change the world right now because we could change it way for the better. Like, I think what it is, is we need a little imagination right now. Like we have the right leader, we have the right time. We have a tiny little country, Israel that's doing all the work. They just need a little diplomatic help along the way and then maybe we get to a whole new world. Wouldn't that feel good? Wouldn't that be an exhale for everybody? Here's more from Trump. I mean, he's the guy's not messing around over there on Truth Social. I have not reached out to Iran for peace talks in any way, shape or form. This is just more highly fabricated fake news. If they wanna talk, they know how to reach me. They should have taken the deal that was on the table. Would have saved a lot of lives. So, again, it's consistent with everything that Trump has said. You had 60 days. You didn't do it. Now, was he doing something on the back end with Bibi? Either way, maybe, like, we just don't know. But maybe they just felt there was no way to trust these people. Right. They had made. They had made their point. The Iranians had clearly made their point over the last couple years with everything they were doing with Hezbollah and the Houthis and everything else. We'll have more on the Democrats as it relates to all of this and. And the little more on the internal war on the right. But first, book profits. Could you use some extra cash? Of course. Who couldn't? You might be sitting on a gold mine right now, and you didn't even know it. What is it? Used books. I'm not talking about writing or reading them. I'm talking about selling used books online for profit. It's simple. It works, and people are making serious income with it. You don't need a ton of time, money, or tech skills. You don't even need to own or handle the books. Everything is done online, on your schedule, from anywhere. There's a free training starting today that shows you exactly how it works. Just go to bookprofits.comrubin to watch. That's bookprofits.comrubin all right, so what would be another reason beyond that? Trump has been directionally right about stuff for 10 years and gotten all of the big stuff right. Like, he's made, like, little mistakes, let's say. Or you didn't want the mean tweets years ago or whatever, but gotten the big stuff right. What would be another addition for the argument that we should be trusting him right now? I think the other addition would be something that was my number one concern three years ago or so when he announced he was running for president again, which is that he wasn't gonna be able to surround himself with the right people, thankfully. And I love having a mea culpa. Thankfully, I was wrong. He was able to do it by bringing in people like Pete Hegseth, like Marco Rubio, like Bobby Kennedy, like Tulsi. And the list goes on and on and on. Right. Caroline Levitt, we can do this all day long. So here's Pete Hegseth. And what did I say when Pete Hegseth was announced? What I thought about Pete Hegseth was there was a particularly interesting piece with this guy because not only did he have the military background to run the military, but he also had the TV presence to do it. And that's a double. That, that's really a double whammy for these guys because it's like, oh, you have actually the resume to do the job and you know how to communicate it properly. And that's Trump's favorite thing. So here's Pete Hegseth on Jesse Waters last night explaining what peace through strength and America first really mean. Is he still aiming for a nuclear deal with the Iranians? Of course. The president, as he said today, his position has not changed. What you're watching in real time is peace through strength and America First. Our job is to be strong. We are postured defensively in the region to be strong in pursuit of a peace deal. And we certainly hope that's what happens here. And America first means we're going to defend American personnel and American interests. So when you see jets and you see air defense assets and counter UAS assets, that's because my job as the Secretary of Defense is to ensure that our people are safe and that we're strong so that we can set the conditions for a deal. And President Trump's made it clear it's on the table. The question is whether Iran will take it. All right, so again, it's like that's how you prepare properly and you communicate effectively. And that's why they hated Hegset. That's why they hated Hegsett. They didn't think he was some crazy alcoholic who was showing up on Saturday mornings at Fox and Friends drunk. That's why they hated him. And it's fairly obvious. And again, he didn't say we're going to throw troops on the ground and we're going to get boots on the ground and we're going to be fighting out there and blah, blah, blah. No, it was all about support to create the conditions to end this lunacy. Now I want to show you the reverse of this. So what would be the alternative situation? Well, if Biden was president. Right. Well, Biden or Kamala, it doesn't even matter if one of these interchangeable Democrats or an auto pen or a secret cadre of people on the left were in charge right now. We'd be getting just mealy mouthed, nothing. Israel probably wouldn't have been able to do this because the US Would be going after them and probably cutting their supplies and a whole bunch more. But I want to show you just sort of like a sort of mealy mouth nothing version of this. So Mark Kelly's Democrat senator from Arizona, and here he is basically saying he'd support US Attacks attacks on Iran, but he'd rather see a deal. And the thing is, we all know that. We all know that. And that is what Trump tried to do. So they always say the thing that kind of means nothing. Watch. Would you support if the US decided to strike Iran directly, even if US forces have not been attacked, in order to try to eliminate the planted Fordo and Natanz? I mean, you know, I would like to see Iran's nuclear capability to be completely disarmed. It is a tough problem. You would have to hit those facilities, the underground facilities, with GBU 57s, you know, the Massive Ordnance Penetrator. It's a 5,000 pound weapon. I think maybe there's a scenario, you know, here in the next couple days or maybe in a week or so that the Iranians would agree to. To come to some sort of negotiated settlement to get us back to a point where they are not going to continue to develop a nuclear weapon. And we can do it in a way that's verifiable. Okay? So it's not that anything he said there was crazy, but what he should have said there was. Thank you, Donald Trump. Thank you, Donald Trump, for just standing by our ally as they dealt with the number one state sponsor of terror who calls us the big Satan. Remember, Israel is just the little Satan. They're just the little fish. The big fish, that's the United States of America. But this is what they kind of do with everything. It's like they go after Trump for everything, and yet Trump is the one that is doing all of the things they want to do. It's exactly what the Democrats have now done with the border. All of the Democrats who are now like, yes, we should have a border. And there, it should have never been open. And it's like, yeah, okay, when you guys were in power, you didn't do it. So Trump did it. You tried to destroy him for that. And let's give the guy a little credit now. A guy I generally don't give a lot of credit to, not someone I talk about on this show much. I'm sort of indifferent to him. He's been wrong on a lot of things, but he's been. It's been an interesting relationship between Trump and this guy. I'm talking about Lindsey Graham from South Carolina, because Lindsey Graham's been one of. When everyone talks about neocons, these are like the nation builders. And I know neocon has become this just like wide tent word that really doesn't mean anything. It largely just means someone I don't like for a lot of the, let's say, more libertarian crowds. But Lindsey has been for a lot of these wars that have not been particularly good. And what's been interesting is Lindsay has also been one of Trump's major backers. And that's been kind of strange because the true America first thing has wanted nothing to do with Lindsay. But Trump likes Lindsay, and politics makes strange bedfellows. Anyway, here's Lindsey Graham talking to Margaret Brennan about how if diplomacy doesn't work, then Trump must move on this. And again, it's just interesting because here's a guy that America first hated now arguing the Trump America first point in these, let's say, strange times. So the worst possible outcome for the world is for the Iranian nuclear program to survive. After all this, how do you destroy their program? Through diplomacy? I prefer that. Or through military action. If diplomacy is not successful and we live with the option of force, I would urge President Trump to go all in to make sure that when this operation is over, there's nothing left standing in Iran regarding their nuclear program. If that means providing bombs, provide bombs. If that means flying, busting bombs, whatever bombs. If it means flying with Israel, fly with Israel. The worst possible outcome for the world is to take the Iranian nuclear program on and leave it standing. That will be a disaster. So whether you like Lindsey or not, or whether you think he's been wrong about a lot of these things, and he. I think he has the last point there is the right one. So we're at this juncture right now, whether you like how we got here, you don't like how we got here, or you like Trump, or you hate Trump, or you like Trump two weeks ago and you hate him now, or any version of all that. The juncture we are at right now is Iran is on the ropes. Everyone knows that Israel is complete control of their skies. Like, they're barely a functioning system right now. They're running out of rockets to attack back. So the last thing that you would want to happen is suddenly what everyone is, what the G7 guys were trying to push Trump to do, which is be like, ah, reign Israel. And enough of this. Let's see what happens. Let's just. Let's just continue the wrong way of thinking that everyone else has done. Trump is the great mover. Trump is the builder, and he's just not gonna let it be. And I guess that puts him back in bed with Lindsey Graham, a guy who Trump's based in like. But Trump, more than anyone else, is able to take People who used to hate him. Marco Rubio, little Marco used to hate him. Now he's his Secretary of State, right? There's a million examples of this. Tulsi used to hate Donald Trump, Director of National Intelligence. That's what Trump is good at. Let's contrast what good policy is and what leadership is with California, because it is a crazy place where nobody's sane should live anymore. However, for some reason, 15 million Republicans still live there. Listen to this from the Right Angle News Network. Breaking California Democrats have, have just introduced legislation to ban law enforcement, including federal agencies like ice, from covering their faces during arrest. So we've, we've covered this notion quite a bit, right? We have masked jihadis with Hamas and Hezbollah flags and with flags of other countries. And they're terrorizing people in the streets of various cities. They're burning things down, they're breaking into buildings, they're looting things, they're locking Hispanic janitors into buildings at Columbia University, all of these things. For some reason, nobody in the left, nobody in mainstream media wants these people to be unmasked who are active domestic terrorists. However, what the left wants to be unmasked are the good guys, the guys who are coming in to try to make sure that people are able to live in a functional city. And the reason that they wear masks, as I pointed out repeatedly, is not because they're worried about their safety per se. They're wearing masks because if they were to be doxed, which happens all the time online now, their families could be threatened, right? So if you're a guy who works for ICE and you're just doing your job, you go into a factory and you get an illegal who has a criminal record and you bring them out and then your face is put on tv. There are these crazy far left Marxist antifa people who coordinate on Discord and all of these other places online. And then they could go after your family. So they're not doing it for themselves. These happen to be quite brave people who take a job that's not the most fun thing in the world where you could get killed to do it, to defend the pres. The country and the borders of the United States of America. But they get everything wrong. They get everything wrong in Cali. Every. And this gets to what I keep saying about the left. Every time they get a chance to just be like, have we gone completely insane? Are we the baddies? Are we all complete lunatics? Nobody ever says, yes, it might be us. Maybe it is us. Here's California State Senator Jesse Aragon talking About how when these people cover their faces, the ICE agents that is, that somehow undermines safety. He has nothing to say about the Hamas people that do it. But when the good guys come in with the mask, that's a problem. Yeah, If I could just elaborate. You know, people covering their faces, impersonating police officers, it erodes trust in law enforcement and it undermines community safety. That's really what this bill is about. And I think many law enforcement enforcement officials, legitimate law enforcement officials, would welcome, you know, putting in safeguards to ensure transparency and accountability. So when ICE or law enforcement comes in with masks, which again, are not to defend themselves, it's to defend their families and loved ones, it erodes trust and undermines safety. And yet when the Hamas people and the antifa people and the COVID mask people, and it's all done to hide their anonymity because they're the ones doing bad things, you have nothing to say? Well, I've got an offer for you, dude. How about we ban them all together and see what happens? But you'd never be for that because you are for the bad guys actually covering their faces because you're one of the bad guys. Here is Washington Post's Catherine Rampel, and she somehow likens ICE to the proud boys because they also wear masks, I guess. What are you doing? Especially upsetting given that there are actual ICE agents who are showing up masked, won't show their. They won't show their faces, they won't show identification, they won't show a warrant, and they're just snatching people off the streets. And one thing that I have been hearing from people who are bystanders or sometimes trying to intervene is how do we know these guys didn't just buy an ICE vest off of. Yeah, you don't know if it's ebay or Amazon or malicious out there doing this. And we don't know if these are the proud boys or actual law enforcement agencies because they won't show us any documentation. Okay, again, even if at some level what you just said there is right, how do we know who these people are and everything else? Even if that's right, you never care about the bad guys who are doing the same thing. So I'm gonna have to say, cry me a river, Cry me a river to an illegal country and get on a boat and go, here are LA officials. Oh, this is actually was a shocker. When I saw this video this morning, I was like, am I actually in the twilight Zone right now? We found someone kind of sane in California I don't know who this lady is, but she's kind of sane. She's an LA official and she wants some federal money because, well, she's not exactly the same. She wants federal money because Trump caused the damage. Well, just watch. I'll unpack it after. I am demanding full accountability and reimbursement for the local cost incurred, including injuries to local officers and damages caused by the chaos unleashed when the Trump administration recklessly, recklessly deployed the military and ICE agents into our communities. They are the ones who created this unrest and they are the ones that need to foot the bill. Okay, so you can see why I was confused when I watched it originally this morning, because I was watching the first half going, oh, my God, here's someone in Cali who's like, oh, they wanted to want some people to pay, meaning it's going to be Antifa or the NGOs. Somebody's going to have to pay for all of the damage they've done. And then she, of course, switches it, that the people who should pay for the damage are not the ones who cause the damage, the people who are tossing boulders over overpasses onto cars or busting into a Best Buy in the name of diversity or something. It's the people who are stopping people from doing it. I love this one. This is New York Democrat representative from Long Island, Tom Susi. He's next. Actually not. It's. He's actually from the district I grew up, and he's not a complete maniac. He's been around forever, but he is a Democrat, so whatever. And he gets asked about the violent rioters. And here he does what Democrats do. This is exactly what Gavin Newsom did during the fires and Palisades. Remember when Gavin literally pretended he was on a call with the President of the United States? Here, States. Here's Tom, Susie, pretending he's on a phone call. I'm not here today, isn't it? Yes, sir. Hold on, I got a question. Coke. Hello? Yes, sir. Hold on, I got a Coke. Hello? Congressman, what do Democrats mean when they said the riots in LA are peaceful? Hello? Do you consider throwing rocks at a moving car to be a peaceful act? Enjoy the fake phone call. Hello? Is this thing on? Can you hear me or. Hold on, hold on. Can you hear me? Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Just ridiculous. And. And of course, the ridiculousness is to the backdrop of the fact that most Americans are for the deportations and we're actually getting results. We've got another one from Charlie Kirk and an image from The New York Post here, look at this. Boom. Nearly 1 million illegals have already self deported under President Trump, thanks to an unapologetic shock and awe campaign of raids and border enforcement. When President Dwight Eisenhower launched his deportation roundup in 1954, nearly 10 foreigners left voluntarily for each one arrested. The same pattern is holding today. Remember, mass deportations include arrests and self removals. The plan is working. And guys, again, these are people who listened to Trump. What did Trump say? Hey, we've got an app. It's on a phone a lot of you got. He's got a free Obama phone. Self deport, get out, make a record of it, and then maybe in years from now you'll be able to get back in. But if you don't, we're gonna have to do this. So again, it's just Trump doing the right thing, giving people time to be responsible. Same thing whether it's deportations or it's the Iranians with the nukes. Same exact freaking concept. You don't have to think too hard to figure out how this guy operates. Look at this headline from the Washington Post. They're usually crap, but apparently they've been bludgeoned into saying something that is actually seemingly positive. US could lose more immigrants than it gains for the first time in 50 years. Okay, hey, I'm not against immigrants. You're probably not against immigrants, but they have to be legal. You or your parents or your grandparents or great grandparents. It was great grandparents in my case came here from another place. And if they came legally, that is good. But at the moment, we got some shit to deal with in the house that's burning and you can't just walk in and throw gasoline on it. Sorry. So what is the point of all of these, all of these things that we're collecting and connecting today way it's that you trust Trump at the moment. He just deserves our trust. And even in the areas where you haven't been fully on board, it's sort of like what I was saying with the trade deals. I don't know where they're all gonna land. They are starting to land positively the economy again. We had that dip for a couple of days. It's completely. It's higher than it was. The markets are higher than they were. So trust Trump. If you trusted him on trade, if you trusted him on immigration, I think he deserves our trust right now. It's not much more complex than that. And I think there's another thing that I alluded to earlier. Let's have a little imagination right Now I put out this tweet this morning and it's. It's gone. Making the rounds, as they say. I wrote thought. I think one reason so many people hate Trump, usually those on the left, is that they only know how to complain and destroy, while he knows how to create and build. Little faster for me. Phoenix. Right now he's trying to envision and facilitate a new, better world, putting aside ancient hatreds and inviting everyone who can see his vision to take part. Some of those on the right who are attacking him have a level of justification because of presidents and policies of the past. However, what Trump is now manifesting is totally the reverse of those failures. It seems to me they just can't see that. And it's our job to help them envision it rather than turn on the man who repeatedly has done what everyone said couldn't be done. Policy aside, maybe people just need a little imagination and faith right now. Now that's the America first, which leads us to the golden age. Guys, I really fundamentally believe that in. In all of the years that many of you have watched this show, do I come across as like, as like the dreamer? Am I like such a dreamer? I think if anything, if some people always ask me, I get interviewed, people ask me, like, how do I view my worldview? Like, I kind of think of myself as like a world weary optimist. I'm an optimist because I believe that humanity has a way of self correct. But I'm not like a dreamer. Like, I think I'm a real world person. I believe that you have to slog through all of these things and we've been doing it for a long time. So I think we should have a little tolerance. And I mean this even to myself, where I'm a little jumpy with people on Twitter sometimes. We should have a little grace at the moment as we want to welcome people over people who can't quite see it right now. They can't quite see the vision and everything else. But if anyone has deserved that trust in them right now, it's so. It's obviously Donald Trump. Because you know what? In 2015, they laughed in Ann Coulter's face when she said he was going to be president. Ann, which Republican candidate has the best chance of winning the general election of the declared ones right now? Donald Trump. Yeah, and that was as mainstream as it could get back then. And the lady looking dumbfounded right there, she doesn't even have a job at MSNB DC anymore. So that tells you a little something. I think I did everything I can do today. Want to thank you for watching. I also want to Wish A happy 90th birthday to my grandmother in law, Mama who's in the other room right over there. We got a lot of surprises planned for you. She's probably not watching the show today. She has other things to do. If you're 90, she's out there. You know she's not watching. Thank you for watching everybody. Reminder.
