This is the Rubin report on Facebook, February 5th in the year 2025. We are live streaming on Rumble on YouTube and on Locals. And we've got a post game show. Rubinreport.locals.com and holy Lordy, Lordy, we are in unchartered territory, ladies and gentlemen. This Trump effect, this Trump 2.0 thing, it is happening and it is happening fast. For, for those of you that watch yesterday's show, the theme really was based on a tweet that I put up a couple days after the election, which was basically that, you know, they don't think this guy, all the people freaking out, they don't think he really is Hitler. What they really fear is that he's going to fix things so fast it'll totally expose them. And my God, yesterday may have been the greatest example of that that we have seen since he came down that escalator, whatever that was, you know, 10 years ago or so. There is some crazy news coming out of the Middle East. It sounds like the Gaza Strip will be the next Las Vegas, which would be a hell of a lot better than the epicenter of terrorism all over the world. Of course, the other big stuff that's happening that we covered yesterday is that by Elon and Doge going into USAID and uncovering some of the nonsense and the money laundering and the just general state of how the deep state or the permanent state basically launders money, throws away money, gives money to radically anti American organizations and also funnies, funnels funnies. It funnels money to places of quote, unquote, journalism that always somehow back Democrats. And it's all being exposed. And the Democrats are freaking, freaking out. The. They're freaking, freaking out. That's right. But we're gonna start in the Middle east because Benjamin Netanyahu showed up to the White House yesterday, and people thought, you know, all right, they're gonna do a press conference and they'll maybe talk about getting, you know, a little more pressure on Qatar, let's say, to get some more of the hostages out or something like that. Maybe there would be some pressure applied to Iran about the nuclear program, but holy cow, Donald Trump, literally, and I mean this literally, he changed the course of the world yesterday with a couple announcements, and it's unclear how prepackaged or impromptu they were, but absolutely wild Hamas, you gotta leave Gaza and you gotta take a lot of people with you because the terror state is just not gonna exist anymore. Here is Donald Trump on the US Plans. The only reason the Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative. It's right now a demolition site. This is just a demolition site. Virtually every building is down. They're living under fallen concrete. That's very dangerous and very precarious. They instead can occupy all of a beautiful area with homes and safety, and they can live out their lives in peace and harmony instead of having to go back and do it again. The US Will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too. We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings. Level it out. Create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job. Do something different. All right? So it cannot be overstated. And we're going to show you a bunch more on this, obviously, but it cannot be overstated how? This is a complete upending of the post World War II order. There's a couple things here that it's worth mentioning real quick. First off, Palestine was never a state. We've been through the like. I don't feel like doing the whole history lesson here, but if you think it was a state, who was the prime minister? And why is it that the Palestinian national soccer team in the 1930s, they were all named like Friedberg and Einstein and something like that. Okay, Palestine was a place where Jews and Arabs, there were no Palestinian people. There were Jews and Arabs and Christians who lived there. 1948, we'll do the quick history lesson. 1948, end of World War II. Post World War II, UN decides to partition the land. Hey, Arabs again, not Palestinians. Arabs, you can have some of the land. Jews, you can have some. And all of The Arab countries said, no, we're gonna kill all the Jews. Didn't work out. Israel exists, okay? That's like the most simp. Basic version of it. Egypt then had Gaza. Okay? So Gaza wasn't even part of Israel until 1967. Jordan, which is right now, as we speak, majority Palestinian. The Palestinians already have a state. Unfortunately for them, it's ruled over by the Hashemite king, the king of Jordan, who puts his own people under apartheid. But anyway, all of that aside, what Trump is saying is no more of this bullshit. No more two state solution. There are 20 plus Arab nations. Why is it that they don't want any of these people? Right. It's because it's a constant crudge against the Jews. Right? That's how you can scapegoat whatever you're doing to your people in your countries. Ah, it's the Jews and the Palestinians, right? Everyone sees it and enough's enough. And by the way, if you think that there has been a genocide going on, which there has not, the Palestinian population in Gaza actually went up in the last two years because of birth rates. But putting that aside, if you think that there was a genocide going on, you would be happy that Donald Trump is now figuring out a way to take those, you know, it's around 1.8 million people or so and move them somewhere. They could go to Egypt. Sinai is pretty big. Nobody lives there. They could go to Jordan again. There's 20 plus Arab nations. Why is it that nobody wants any of them? We will see. I think a bunch are going to Egypt and I think a bunch are going to Jordan and maybe Qatar, which isn't that big, but has funded Hamas. Maybe they could take some. Anyway, there was something just so incredible about the press conference because Trump was just wheedling and dealing. He just ripped up all of conventional wisdom and said, enough is enough. America is gonna lead again. We're not putting troops there or anything, El. We're gonna clean it up. And then it could literally become the Las Vegas of the Middle East. It's about the same. Gaza is about the same size as Las Vegas and it's on the Mediterranean. It's the same beaches as Tel Aviv. That's what the Palestinians could have had instead of just trying to kill as many Jews as possible. But I know that's a tough choice for some people. Anyway, Trump talked a bit more about what the future of Gaza could be. Let's go. Caitlin, go ahead, Caitlyn, thank you so much. President Trump's. Caitlin, go ahead. On what you were saying there. Say it. Go ahead. Just to follow up on what you were saying about the Gazans leaving Gaza, going to other countries. One, where exactly are you suggesting that they should go? And two, are you saying they should return after it's rebuilt? And if not, who do you envision living there? I envision world people living there. The world's people. I think you'll make that into an international unbelievable place. I think the potential in the Gaza Strip is unbelievable. And I think the entire world, representatives from all over the world will be there and they'll, and they'll live there. Palestinians also. Palestinians will live there. Many people will live there. We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal. And I don't want to be cute, I don't want to be a wise guy, but the Riviera of the Middle east, this could be something that could be so bad, this could be so magnificent. You know, out of all the amazing things that Trump's done and what we've learned in the last 10 years and the, you know, exposing all of the bad guys and almost being assassinated and everything else, this in some way feels like it could be his ultimate triumph. Like, if you really connect this to what put Donald Trump's name on the map, what put his name on all of those buildings across the world. It was building buildings, often on the water. We have a map here of the Middle East. I think we have two maps. I want to, just to get a little sense of this first off. So this is very zoomed in. Now, remember, Israel is the size of New Jersey. Okay. Gaza Strip. You see the Gaza Strip there, right by the Mediterranean. Lower Left hand side is what you're looking at. So they have the same water, the same beachfront property that Tel Aviv has. Tel Aviv has some of the most beautiful beaches in the entire world. That's what they could have. So they could turn that. Imagine a Vegas on the Mediterranean that's, let's say, built by the United States or some international conglomerate. You get all the terrorists out and you make it an international place of play and fun and commerce and all of those things. And then it's bulwarked by a democratic state of Israel, Egypt, which hopefully isn't terrible, by the way. Egypt, what you're looking at there, where it says Egypt, that's just the Sinai Peninsula. That's just absurdly tiny portion of Egypt. Basically nobody lives there. I've been there about 20 years ago. Like, you could put everybody there. Here's a little further out version of that, so there you're seeing this, you see the Sinai is that triangular piece kind of right in between Israel and Egypt. Jordan again is already the Palestinian state. So what he's basically saying here is we're just done, we're done with this two state solution, which was complete nonsense. The Palestinians have said no to it a million times. They've tried to wipe Israel off the map a million times. He's just saying we're done. We're done with all of this ridiculousness. And what Trump is unbelievably good at is he speaks things into existence, right? He hints things out and he's going to get Egypt to take some of these people or Jordan to take some of these people or Qatar or whoever else, and then they actually can do it. And as I just said, Trump knows a little something about building here he is on who can take the Gazans. Peter, would Palestinians have the right to return to Gaza if they left while the rebuilding was happening? It would be my hope that we could do something really nice, really good where they wouldn't want to return. Why would they want to return? The place has been hell. It's been one of the meanest, one of the meanest, toughest places on earth. Other countries you think might accept Palestinians from Gaza? Well, I think Jordan and Egypt will. I know they've spoken about it with you and they say they're not going to accept. I say they will, but I think other countries will accept also. I think that Gaza maybe is a demolition site right now. If you look at Gaza, it's all, I mean, there's hardly a building standing and the ones that are, are going to collapse. You can't live in Gaza right now. And I think we need another location. I think it should be a location that's going to make people happy. You look over the, over the decades, it's all death in Gaza. This has been happening for years. It's all death. If we can get a beautiful area to resettle people permanently in nice homes and where they can be happy and not be shot, not be killed, not be knifed to death like what's happening in Gaza. All right? There's so much here. His ability to take complex issues and just say simple things is just so absolutely incredible. Now remember, Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005, 2006. There was, until October 7th or a little bit after October 7th, there was not one Jew in Gaza. Hitler and the progressive Democrats would have loved the place. Not one Jew living there. They left infrastructure and greenhouses they dumped money into it. And they could have done. They could have done whatever you want. Actually, there's videos, it's all over Twitter that you can find from Gaza on October 6, and people talking about how beautiful it was, and now look what's happened to it. It's like you guys decided to turn this thing into a terrorist hotbed, so it's on you. So he's basically saying, we're just done with this now. As for Egypt, can you throw the map up again? As for Egypt and Jordan again, it's just worth reiterating. That's only a portion of Egypt that you're seeing there. So Israel, you can't even fit one letter of its name on the map, right? Because that's how small it is. Egypt is massive. You can take some of those people. And by the way, Gaza was part of Egypt pre1967. So many of them are Egyptian, actually. And as I said, Jordan there, which Jordan's not so huge either, but it used to be called Trans Jordan. Not because it was trans before it was cool, but it was trans because it was sort of like a temporary place, and that's where the Palestinians lived. I want to, if you can bear with me for a moment here, I want to read a little something, because I saw this tweet by a journalist by the name of Haviv Rediger who works at the Times of Israel, and I thought he perfectly illustrated virtually everything that's going on right now. So it's a bitter reading. Bear with me. But I think it's worth it. Here's a take on Trump's plan to take over Gaza that's so utterly obvious and ordinary that no one seems to be talking about it. Leave aside, for the moment, great questions of war and peace take the conflict off the table for a second. What had Hamas made of Gaza, its society and economy, before the war? A land with so much natural beauty and potential and recently discovered offshore gas. And what did Hamas build there? Even under the Israeli and Egyptian blockades, the GDP per capita in Gaza was higher than Morocco's before October 7. Its potential was always enormous. And here's the thing, the potential remains, but not with Hamas, because Hamas doesn't see that potential. And if someone points it out to them, they don't care. They chose the catastrophic war that began on October 7th. They built a vast tunnel system for 17 years whose only purpose was to force the enemy to cut through cities to get them when that war came, and given what they think of Israelis, they actually expected Gaza's destruction to be even worse than it is. One powerful signal that they always intended this destruction. That tunnel system is the biggest thing Palestinians have ever built, and Hamas built nothing else in Gaza in all their years of ruling it. Our enemies, in their stupidity, are convinced Israeli strength is about weapons systems and infantry regiments. They do not grasp what real strength is. They do not plan, they do not build. They do not invest. They do not free their people, especially their women, politically and economically. They expect wealth and military strength and geopolitical power to land them doui machina because of their great piety and willingness to sacrifice and destroy everything for their religion. And they genuinely do not understand why it never works. Hamas's supporters, the self styled pro Palestinian activists in the west, are worse than immoral. They're stupid. Even if you justify Hamas's cataclysmic war on Israel, cataclysmic for Palestine, not Israel, how do you justify Hamas's utter neglect of every other facet of Palestinian life, of the economy, education, of happiness of each and every Gazan? You can hate Israel for the blockade, but it was Hamas, not Israel, that dragged Gaza into the Egyptian Civil War in 2013 and led to the Egyptian side of the blockade. They just don't care about Gaza. Gaza's education system, routinely, even now, produces videos of children dancing to military odes and singing of the coming victory. It does not produce mathematicians or coders or marine biologists. Even Israel in the 1950s and 60s, when it had what was basically a third world economy, when it was poorer than the Gaza of October 6, was hard at work educating great scientists and engineers. Hamas is Gaza's intercultural weakness, made flesh and sent to walk the world. Hamas is everything wrong with Gaza and not just Gaza. These are the very weaknesses eating away at Egyptian society, the weaknesses that shattered Syria and Iraq, the weaknesses that hold back the Arab world generally. Could America reverse that weakness? No, of course not. Could a serious Palestinian leadership, the sort not now visible on any horizon and hardly imaginable in the foreseeable future, do so? Absolutely. It wouldn't even be that hard. Any economist who isn't actually illiterate or utterly ideological could tell you how to do it. One of the few advantages of being at rock bottom is that it's not that hard to rise dramatically. If you find Trump's proposal horrifying, if you find Gaza's destruction heartbreaking, if you don't want Gaza's present to be its future, find that leadership, back it to the hilt and be crystal clear about what brought Gaza to the current state. And if Palestine's supporters weren't a bunch of daft, narcissistic windbags, they'd grasp that hating Israel isn't enough. Every word of the above is true. Even if Israel really is the bad guy. That's an incredibly well written piece that deals with the history, the economic reality, some of the religious component of all of this, and just real politic like, enough is enough. This is not good for the world or anyone else. And again, if any of you people that are now screaming about this and who were lying and screaming about a fake genocide, you should be thrilled that they're gonna move. And you should also be thrilled that their brothers in 20 plus Arab countries might take them in. Imagine if it was happening the other way around and Jews all over in one place, let's say in Germany, were being exterminated. You know what happened? Jews all over the world took their brothers in. In many cases, including the United States, they wouldn't even let a certain amount of people in. But I think you guys get it. I really enjoyed this. So this is Peter Doocy being asked on Fox about the press conference. And I think this is just an interesting concept. Did Trump just come up with all of this just then? Something else that we don't know. Who came up with this plan and when did they come up with it? Because earlier in the day, President Trump was still talking about Gaza basically as a wasteland, as a destruction site. His team was out there on the shows and on a background call saying it's going to be 10 to 15 years before anything can be done there. The President never mentioned that the United States was going to take over Gaza. And so this could be. And again, first draft of history is what we're working on here. This could be something that he and Netanyahu came up with just now. And maybe that is the reason why we were so delayed here, because President Trump wanted to hide a major announcement about U.S. foreign policy in his prepared statement before taking questions. Okay, so it's worth noting, and Peter's making the point that that is pure speculation. Like, we have no idea. I somehow don't think it just magically appeared like that. Like, I don't think Netanyahu walked in there and was like, casino and let's roll. But clearly they have been at least thinking or discussing, like, what do you do? That is a game changer. Not just that, oh, maybe you get your hostages out and we just kind of rebuild this and the international community comes in and five years from now we have another massacre and another war. We fundamentally alter the way that the international order works. This feels like a moment post. I'd say Post World War I and the Ottoman Empire. It feels like a moment of post World War II. Right. Like that. That borders are going to be redrawn and there's a chance that this could be. They could do what the UAE has done. Right. You could create a largely secular society based on capitalism that then again, with that real estate right there. And yes, I'm sure there's gonna be a Trump Hotel and Casino. Could become the Riviera of the Middle East. As Trump said, there was another interesting thing happening during the press conference, which is that obviously October 7th happened on Biden's watch right after we gave all this money back to Iran. And remember, it was non fungible. And then I guess it was fungible enough so that they could give a bunch of it to Hamas. But Netanyahu was obviously in a tough situation because he knew Biden really Biden or whoever was in charge really wasn't a friend, while Trump always has been a friend. And here he is giving Trump credit for the hostage release that's been trickling out over the last little bit. Prime Minister Netanyahu, we have heard Joe Biden and Donald Trump take credit for the hostage and security cease fire deal. Who do you think deserves more credit? I think President Trump added with great force and powerful leadership to this effort. I appreciate it. He sent a very good emissary. He's helped it along. And, you know, I'll just tell you, I'm happy that they're here, and I'm sure the President is happy that they're here. And I would think that's about enough. Like, the question's kind of loaded, right? Like, who do you think's better, that guy or this guy? Like, of course you're going this guy. But the truth is exerting American power, not American boots on the ground. And we're not nation building or anything else, but exerting influence, saying we are gonna America, which is a force for good, despite all of the people that say it is not. We are gonna try to think about things a little bit differently now. We are gonna do things a little bit differently and not just do the. That doesn't work is good. And yes. So in Netanyahu's kind of pointing at him. Yeah. Like, so we're happy this guy is back. And I just want to juxtapose that with Joe Biden, because here's Joe Biden in 2021, talking about rebuilding Gaza and just, it's just amazing how, how quickly things have turned. We were, we're going to make sure that we are going to provide for security in the west bank and we, we renew the security commitment as well as economic commitment to the people on the West Bank. And I'm prepared to put together and going to attempt to put together a major package with other nations who share our view to rebuild the homes and without reengaging, without providing Hamas the opportunity to rebuild our weapons systems, rebuild the Gaza, rebuild Gaza. That was May of 21. Already breaking down, could barely speak. The reason I wanted to show you that is that's way before October 7th. Right. But it's just conventional wisdom. We'll make sure Hamas doesn't do this or that and we're going to build homes and we'll find partners. And none of it worked. None of it worked. And if you want the ultimate side by side example of how different all of this is, check out this video was put online yesterday. So it's a little bit of the Trump Netanyahu experience yesterday and alongside Joe Biden when he invited Naftali Bennett, who was the former Prime Minister of Israel a couple years ago. And just check the difference, the optics, the energy, just the entire thing. We are just so back, as in putting aside the Middle East. We are just so back as a. I mean, is that the side by side of all time? Like Biden literally sleeping. Literally sleeping with a mask. The point of all of this, guys, now we'll move on to the next topic, is that alliances matter, values matter, culture matters, dreaming matters. So we can reimagine all of this and fix it. And again, if you hate those freaking pesky Jews with their state the size of New Jersey in the middle of the worst part of the world, if you hate them and you think that the Gazans have been under a genocide, you still should be happy right now because he's offering to remove them from the genocide place and put them elsewhere. And there are 20 plus Arab countries, some that have a gajillion dollars, roughly. So even if you hate America, you hate Israel, you hate the Jews, you love the jihadists, you wear a Hamas flag while you're doing it with your wife and all of that stuff, you should still be happy right now because those poor people are going to be free and there's gonna be some great casinos and I'm telling you, it's gonna be the best Shakshuka. From the river to the sea, guys, let's talk about Rumble Premium for a minute. And then more. On the other side, free speech is under attack. But Rumble refuses to back down.

Let's turn the tide together. All right, so let's come back to these shores and see what else Donald Trump 2.0 is doing. And yes, he's doing an awful lot. But first, for a moment, we just showed you a video of his predecessor who was sleeping while in a meeting with the major ally and wearing a mask. What else is going on with Joe Biden? I could not. When I actually saw this, I literally thought I misheard it or did not understand what was going on or I thought this was a deep fake. It's so insane. But Joe Biden has apparently signed on with caa. CAA is the most powerful agency in all of Los Angeles. Entertainment agencies. Singers, rappers, actors, musicians, comedians. Dave Rubin used to be repped by them. We'll have more on that in just a second. Well, Joe Biden has signed with CAA because he's a really incredible dancer, I guess. What do you think about Joe Biden signing on with a talent agency? You gotta be kidding. He signed on with a talent agency. He does. He's got some entertainment agents now. I think he's got bigger problems than that. I really do. I think he's got much bigger problems than that. But I wish him well. We inherited a mess. This place is a mess. But it's quickly being solved. The problem. We're going to make America great again. Thank you very much. Again. It's just like he just gets right to it. Like he's got bigger problems. We're going to fix it. We're going to make America great again. But do you really like Joe Biden, who is now, whatever he is, 83 years old with Parkinson's and or dementia. A man who cannot get a singular sentence out without flubbing it. He is now signed to a talent agency. Do you see what they're doing, what the system is? It will squeeze something till there is just nothing left. Is there some money to be made for somebody around Joe Biden that maybe you could throw him out there for a poorly executed speech or whatever it might be? Yes. And so now you have a major talent agency that has signed this man so that more people can just continue the grift. It is rather disgusting, I should say. On a personal note, I had major representation for years at caa and after my last book, after Don't Burn this Country, I fired everybody. I did like some of the people, as individual people, but I found working or working with a giant organization was more of a headache and nonsense. And I was paying them basically to do nothing as we sold out our book tour and crushed it on the book and everything else. And they were just a pain in the ass all along the way. It's just, just, it's just. It's actually perfect in some sense. It's like old Hollywood is taking in the old politician right at the end as they both crumble while we build the future of America. Speaking of the future of America, the future of America will include less criminally insane people because here's Donald Trump saying that we are not only arresting these people, but we are going to send them to other places. But we could make deals where we'd get these animals out of our country. And, you know, if you take the shooters, the people that hit old ladies in the back of the head with a baseball bat, when they're not looking, they walk down the street. The people that use. And you see it, the people that take out a gun and shoot you for no reason at all. If we could get these animals out of our country and put them in a different country under the supervision of somebody that made a relatively small fee to maintain these people, well, you get it, guys. Again, it's so good and so simple. And it's only because we have been just almost drowned with bullshit for so long that we haven't been able to do any of these things. He's basically saying, hey, we've got these horrible people. Generally speaking, hitting an old lady in the back of a head with a bat is, at least in my day, was thought of as a bad thing. You don't do that sort of thing. Right? He's saying, okay, we're going to take these people. And then for a nominal Fee, we're gonna send them elsewhere. You know what? Somehow you got into this country, you cracked that old lady's skull with a baseball bat. You gotta leave. And you know who's gonna take em? Well, we read yesterday that Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, who has cleaned up that country in record time, he's basically like, send him on down here, we'll figure it out. And I would say to the people that are concerned about human rights violations and all of those other things, you give up some of your human rights when you murder and you, you know, crack old ladies skulls and kill babies and sexually molest young girls and all of those things. That would be my take on it. Check out this from breaking911, breaking the worst of the worst, violent criminal aliens have arrived at Guantanamo Bay. Enjoy your stay. And there's a couple pictures there. And yes. So right now we have basically reopened Guantanamo Bay. It sounds like the goal is that they're going to have 30,000 beds there and it will be a temporary holding place to either get some of these people out of the country or figure out where they're going to have to be here or whatever else. But again, we're just doing things that any serious nation should do that if you were watching a movie, right, if you were watching a movie about a funk country that was trying to do the right thing, we watch movies about countries that are having revolutions or the bad guys are here now or whatever it might be. But if you were watching a movie about a country that some stuff had gone wrong and was trying to start doing some things right, we're actually watching. The script is right in front of us right now. And it's not just the border stuff and the deportations that's working. It's that they are going to completely, completely rejigger the entire education system as well. As you guys know, Donald Trump brought in. I think she's the co CEO or was at least the co CEO of can give me her exactly. Was she the CEO or the president of the WWE, which in my day was the WWF wrestling with her husband, Vince McMahon. Linda McMahon. She has been brought in as Education Secretary. And listen to this question and Donald Trump's answer. I think this is just perfect. And on the Education Department, why nominate Linda McMahon to be the Education Department secretary if you're going to get rid of the education. Because I told Linda, Linda, I hope you do a great job and put yourself out of a job. I want her to put herself out of a job. Education Department okay, so yeah, she was the former CEO alongside Vince McMahon of the WWE. But isn't that answer right there? Well, wait a minute. Why would you bring in Linda McMahon? The question's being asked correctly, actually. Why would you bring someone in to do be the Education Secretary at the same exact time you're trying to destroy the Department of Education. I wanted her to be put out of a job. And guess what? But you know how, you know it might be true? Linda McMahon, we googled it, is worth a cool 3.2 billion billion with a B. She doesn't need the gig, she doesn't need the job. And that's what we are seeing across this new administration. Elon Musk does not need the job at Doge. David Sachs, another billionaire, does not need the job as czar of AI and crypto. But we are bringing in people who, because they love the country and want to give back to the country, are willing to be part of this thing. Bobby Kennedy, he's not a billionaire, but he doesn't need the money either. I don't know how much money he's made in his career, although the Kennedy name goes, goes a long way. But his wife, Cheryl Hines, she's a fairly successful actress. They'd be okay. They'd be okay. I promise you that they would. So that's the idea. Linda McMahon, come on in. Let's have you as Education Secretary. Let's blow apart the Department of Education. Let's send most of this stuff back to the states, crush the bureaucracy, send money back to the parents, basically so that they can do more school choice. And Linda, when you're out of a job in a year from now, you got 3.2 billion, I think you're gonna be okay. Phoenix, scroll up for me a little bit. We've got some info here from DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency today. 12 consulting contract terminations in GSA, in the Department of Education for a total savings of 30 million, including a 23 million work order for digital modernization program management, office support. 12 under utilized lease cancellations for an annual savings of 3 million. So already, guys, these numbers start adding up. All they're doing is walking in. Oh, we have a bunch of leases that we're paying for and there's nobody in these buildings. We're going to cancel that. Oh, we have all these contracts out for a bunch of work that nobody's doing. We're going to cancel that. Oh, how much did it cost to install this toilet? That was 2 million. I think we can maybe get somebody to do It a little bit cheaper. Let's do that. And that's what's happening over and over again right now. It's incredible. It really is incredible. This. I think I said this back in November. It's like if Trump came in and I knew some things were gonna happen quickly, but it's like if every day we're just gonna have to report good news, it'll be great. And by the way, I've seen a lot in the comments lately where people are saying that it's like we're. It's kind of fun and cool to be like, oh, it's not all retarded. That's pretty cool. Check this out from Elon Musk. The same people terrified of Doge wanted to hire 87,000 additional IRS agents to audit you. Isn't that just perfect? Do you remember that? They were going to have 87,000 more IRS agents, so they were going to take your money to hire people who would take more of your money so they could have more of your money. And the machine and the media and everything else was very excited about all of that. Now, the people who are suddenly like, oh, we're gonna look at the books and see what's what, they're very pissed that Doge is costing us a little bit of money. Elon's just having a ball with all of this, which is great, too. Check this out. His new bio on the Twitter, the X Machine, White House tech support. And I do wanna show you this video of Kevin McCarthy. Kevin McCarthy, former Speaker of the House, who's out of politics right now, but he's here illustrating the point that I've been trying to drive home about good people who have actually done things and built things, who are suddenly like, yeah, maybe I owe America a little something. Let's see what I can do to help. It's pretty cool, actually. And the uniqueness here is this is exactly what Elon did when he needed to turn around Tesla. I remember calling him and he said, look, I have about a billion and a half left. I gotta get to 5,000 cars produced. He's living in the factory. He removes engineers that don't know how. And he's hands on, retooling his own manufacturing to get the cars built. That's what he's volunteering to do for America today. You shouldn't be criticizing him. We should be celebrating him. Yeah, and we're gonna get to some of that criticism in just a moment. But I do have to say that what McCarthy just laid out there, that's exactly what I saw when I went to Twitter, right? When he took over. And I've told you guys the story, but I was there, you know, 12:30am and he's sitting there with a. With, I don't know, 30 engineers. And it's late night and there's takeout food everywhere, and they're just going through all the stuff like he's not a boss that just, oh, this is what you guys are gonna do and I'm gonna have nothing to do with it. That's what we've had in the government, right? A bunch of people who aren't particularly good, who've been totally checked out as long as the grease kept everything going. And here you have someone that actually is in the weeds. Oh, you're an engineer at Tesla and you don't know what you're doing. Oh, you're a programmer at Twitter and you're programming the algorithm to take out conservatives. Like, we are fixing all of those things. And there's a certain amount of people that don't want that stuff fixed. Senator Mike Lee from Utah, I think he wrote something that I thought was quite good on Twitter. He wrote, name a fascist dictator whose agenda entailed limiting the size, cost and power of the government. I mean, really think about that. So you've got all of these lunatics, and we'll get to some of them in a sec, who are saying all of the worst things, but it's always Nazi, Hitler, fascist about Elon and everybody else. But fascists generally wouldn't be stripping power away from the government. Fascists want strong government and strong business to work together to crush you. Fascists definitely are not that interest. If you're a good fascist, you're not that interested in less taxation so that the people have more of their own dollars to do what they want. Right? You want a giant conglomerate, ridiculous bureaucracy that rules over the people. So everything is just people get everything backwards. We'll have more backwards people in a moment. But first, BHMD1 we've been told our whole lives that wrinkle creams were the easiest way to look younger. Now one doctor says that's nothing but old News. According to Dr. John Lake, the world renowned Beverly Hills beauty expert, most wrinkle fixes on the market are nothing but glorified moisturizers. They hardly make a dent on your appearance and some can even be harmful to your skin. He said. Recently, Dr. Lake has focused his attention away from mainstream cosmetic practices. Why? So he can pursue a revolutionary anti aging breakthrough. One that some experts say could empty the wallets of the cosmetic industry. It's almost like Photoshop for your face. You may even be mad after seeing how easy it is to visibly erase your wrinkles from view. Lake told reporters his personal clients have dubbed his new do it yourself technique the Age Rewinder method, because it can take years or even decades off your appearance in under two minutes. And light this amazing breakthrough. Dr. Lake has released a step by step video to the public, free and uninterrupted, where he outlines exactly how to use this simple solution from home. You can find out more about this yourself right now. Go to bhmd1.com reuben or click the link in the description box below. That's BHMD1.com Rubin again, go watch the video at BHMD1.com Rubin right now or just click the link in the description box below. All right, so so far we have spent about 40 minutes doing a lot of great stuff there. There is a reordering of the international order in a positive fashion. There is a major move right now to get inefficiency and nonsensical spending out of our government. These are both good things. And now let's jump over to some of the reaction to that. We will start on the televised mental institution known as MSNBC, where Jen Psaki, remember Jen Psaki, who was White House spokesperson Jen Psaki, and then magically ends up on MSNBC as a quote, unquote journalist. Here she is, and she's along with Florida Representative Maxwell Frost. This guy does not like me. I'll have more on that in a second. And they are freaking out because a man who is trying to send us to Mars also wants you to save a little more on government toilets, because what's happening right now is a hostile takeover of the US Government. There's no other way to describe it. It's happening clearly across our justice system, where just a few hours ago, a deadline passed for FBI employees to fill out a questionnaire detailing their involvement in January 6th cases. In other words, they were asked to fill out basically a loyalty test. That comes after an unprecedented purge of the FBI on Friday night, when the Trump administration forced out top FBI career officials, multiple FBI field office leaders, and a number of DOJ prosecutors who worked on January 6th cases. I am terrified of the potential that Elon Musk is doing behind those closed doors and the fact that absolutely nobody has the information on what he's doing. Any answers to nobody. We should all be very concerned about it, whether you're a Democrat, all Right. So the guy talking to the Muppet there, his name's Maxwell Frost. He's a representative, I think, from the Orlando area. When I did my show during my book tour with Ron DeSantis, who was our biggest venue that we did, it was totally sold out. It was great. Standing room only. And they had protesters outside and they're protesting the governor. And it was during don't say Gay, and they're protesting me. And it was just absolutely absurd. That guy got into the theater and repeatedly rushed the stage screaming that we were Nazis and fascists and the rest of it. So he doesn't mind infringing on other people's First Amendment rights. Also, none of the funny part of this that they keep repeating, and I know everything they say is a lie, but none of this is happening behind closed doors. Literally, they're going in. Elon. Every day with Doge is going in. And then he tweets out, what did we do? I mean, I just read you 3 million on a bunch of leases that were going nowhere. This, like every. This is the most transparent administration that we have had in my lifetime. And that. The thing is, that's what they fear. They keep saying it's done behind closed doors. You guys want closed doors? Closed doors was how you couped Joe Biden to get him out and then installed Kamala. That was closed doors. But you guys didn't say jack shit about that. Right? This is all being done in front of us. What are we doing with Doge? Well, we're gonna look at all of the agencies and see where the waste is. And then what are they doing? Well, every day, they look at the agencies and see where the waste is, and then they post it on Twitter. What? So. And also, by the way, I'm fairly certain that Elon. Correct me if I'm wrong, my memory's a little shot. Did Elon campaign with. He campaigned with Trump, right? Once or twice. They were out there on the. Yeah, they were. Yeah. So he was out there. This isn't like, my God, where did this guy come from? I can't believe he has anything to do with. The guy was at MSG with him. He was campaigning every day. He put aside. He started a pack like the guy, and they're doing. Exactly. That's. Oh, God, I hate these people. That's a good segue to Elizabeth Warren. Now, no one elected Elon Musk to nothing. That's right. No. Not one Democrat in America voted for Elon Musk. Not one. Not one Republican in America voted for Elon Musk. Not one independent in America voted for Elon Musk. Not one libertarian in America voted for Elon Musk. Damn. Not one vegetarian in America voted for Elon Musk. And yet Elon Musk is seizing the power that belongs to the American people. We are here to fight back. All right, I wasn't really listening to what she said, but we've got our new associate producer, Joseph, here, and I like the idea of having someone stand behind me, and every time I say something, they just basically repeat it. So we will not do that thing. We will not do that thing. We will do that other thing. We will not do that other thing. No, we will not. Or we will. We will. He's young. He just started. All right, go back over there. Okay, fine. Fine. Like, these people are just all completely ridiculous, and they have. Someone behind. The person behind me said the thing that I just said. The person behind her said the thing that she just said. It. It must make sense. That woman who wants to kill all the babies. Again, nobody elected Elon Musk. We accept that. Elon Musk is the Renaissance man of our time. I wish we didn't have to talk about him that much, quite frankly. But a man who's doing a lot of cool shit said, I'm going to put it aside to help you people. And now you've got these hysterical, wannabe fake Indian socialists screaming about it while she's worth a cool 40 mil. And that's what I said. And that's what I said. Here's Chuck Schumer. And you know Chuck Schumer, in the years from now when Chuck Schumer's gone, God bless him, when he dies of natural causes, I think what they're going to say mostly about Chuck Schumer is, this is a man who knew how to lead a chant. This is a man who knew how to excite people. This is a man who said, it's out there. And I'm going to go. And we cannot. We cannot allow Elon Musk and a small group of people to secretly, behind closed doors, take away our privacy, take away our dollars, take away everything we have. We are going to fight this fight. I am going to stand with you in this fight. And we will win. We will win. We will win. We will win. We will win. We. We won't rest. We won't rest. We won't rest. We will win. We will win. We're doing it. Guy with the thing. Okay. That's great. Yeah. What a collection you've got. The woman whose Face looks like an old catcher's mitt. You've got the guy waving the cane's gonna take somebody's eye out. Chuck Schumer. The man hasn't had an erection since 1964. What a collection of pathetic losers. And you're just gonna keep losing Connor. Show me a compilation of people who are even bigger losers than that man. For God's sake. Agitating. We will see you in the courts, in Congress, in the streets. Elon Musk is a Nazi Nepo baby. A godless, lawless billionaire who no one elected. Elon. Hello, everybody. We have convened here in the right place. The Treasury Department. We have got to tell Elon Musk. Nobody elected your ass. Nobody told you you could get all of our private information. Nobody told you you could be in charge of the payments of this country. Publicans that we will not take this. We will fight back. And as I calls out, because I know we've been out here for a long time and God damn it. Shut down the Senate. We are at war. The kind of insurrectiony, didn't it? God damn it. We're going to shake down the city. We are at war. And they're all applauding. Now, it shouldn't surprise you, right? Like there's Maxine Waters and you remember that video of Maxine Waters a couple years ago telling you that you should get in Republicans faces and they should have no peace. And by the way, AOC has done all that. But just the reason I'm showing you that, it's not like we can make fun of their hysteria all the time and the pathetic awkwardness of all of them and this, you know, this intersectional alliance of morons and jihadists and we can do all that, but the question is, what's next for these people? So as America succeeds. So let's say if I'm roughly right about this, this is what I think is going to happen. We're going to see about 70% of America going in the direction of success, right? Because all of the good liberals, I mean, that's why I showed you that video yesterday of Bill Maher and Peggy Noonan. All of the people who are not completely brain dead, progressive morons are basically. You may not love everything about Trump and whatever, but you're basically going to go go along with that. And we're going to have this incredible renaissance. It's coming. It absolutely is coming. So what's going to happen to those people? They have nothing left other than more hysteria. I would say the part that we have to watch out for is what she did right there at the end. That is an absolute call for violence. Right? God damn it. Get out in the streets, right? Like, what do you. What do you think? What happens once they're in the streets? And because these people also love the jihadists, I'm telling you, there will be suicide bombs. Like, it is what it is. The Red Green Alliance. It's the alliance between the jihadists and the moron Marxists that we have in this country. And just listen to them. Just listen to them. And again, it's only because we're just looking at the books. Why Elon Musk is a white and godless. She calls Elon Musk godless. Like, yeah, yeah, because we have a bunch of believers over there. You guys believe in something. I just don't know what. But anyway, it continues. Here's Senators Wyden and Jeffries, and they're very upset that Elon also is looking at the books. That's all. He's doing exactly what they promised. He's just doing what they promised, which I know freaks these people out, and they're very upset. Before we get to Mr. Kennedy and why I believe he is singularly unfit to serve as HHS Secretary, I'd like to say that the last several days we've witnessed an authoritarian takeover of our federal government by Elon Musk and Donald Trump. They've done nothing as it relates to lowering the high cost of living. At the same time, they are raiding the government, attempting to steal taxpayer money. That's what the situation at the Treasury Department is all about. All right, Timu Obama, we get what you're doing there. You're accusing us of doing what you've been doing. We're not stealing. Elon is not stealing your dollars. He's looking into your stolen dollars. He's saying, why did the government need all of this money to do all of these things and do it in almost every case. Case, not particularly well. So again, it's just. You guys just need the freaking mirror. Elon saw that clip and he wrote, obviously, Doge is trying to stop your tax dollars from being stolen for waste and fraud. Representative Jeffries wants that to continue. And you really need to understand that. Why? Why are they screaming that we're looking at the books? Why are they screaming? And the reason they are screaming is the only thing that they have, their power is all derived from that machine. Their power, the cultural power that the Democrats had was because the deep state. They were all in cahoots. You had a political party in cahoots with an eternal a never ending deep state, right? This is the case. It stayed no matter what administration was there funding all of these crazy projects. And then we had a couple decades of complete insanity here and it is coming to an end. End let's talk about 1775 Coffee and then we will continue with the program. Did you know that drinking two to three cups of coffee daily could lower your risk of death by 29% and nearly halve your chances of heart complications? But let's be real.

All right, so I know it's easy to make fun of the lady that looks like a catcher's mitt and the guy with the cane and Chuck Schumer and all of those people. But for a moment we will scale it back and try to do a bit more of insightful analysis of what is wrong with the Democrats because something really is wrong with them. And the question again is how hysterical will they get? As we right the ship here, my buddy Adam Carolla, who, God bless him, still lives in the communist country known as California, does not live in his house right now because even though it was not burned down in Malibu, they are not letting him back into his house. Here he is talking about Gavin Newsom, who I would say largely represents everything that's been wrong with the sort of mainstream Democrat. Right? He was like the patina of moderate mainstream Democrat, not like overly obviously completely progressive insane. But here is Carolla doing a little deep dive on what Newsom represents and you'll see how that kind of, I would say, goes across the board as to where the Democrats are at right now. When I talk to Gavin Newsom, it's interesting, the weird soundbite stuff. I interviewed him famously on my show 10 years ago. He should be back any day now. I'm gonna check my count. Let me call my producer. So at some point we talked for an hour. People remember the race part we got into, but there are many other subjects. But, but he said to me, I said, listen, I just want government work big to small. Start with the roads, the schools, the infrastructure, the dams, the aqueducts, and then get down to the small stuff. And he goes, adam, I like to work small to big. And then he sort of pat himself on the back and like I just start the small stuff and go the big stuff. And I realized like, oh, that sounds good, but it doesn't mean anything. It's like, small is Delta smell, big is California burning to the ground. So you're going to focus on the small and ignore the big. Big is my house is on fire small. There's a guppy that's in a stream of water. And I realized Obama kind of liked that talk too. You know, you didn't build at yourself. He sounded real good and self assured and people would like nod and clap. But I would say, would you listen to what he's saying? He's telling everybody who started a business you didn't do it yourself. Why is he saying that? Well, that means he can take it from you or take more money from you or you owe more money to the government because it isn't yours after all. If he said you worked really hard, you put yourself through vocational training or college, you pulled yourself up by your bootstraps, you didn't have anything and you built this business. Well, that means I would be a criminal if I try to take money from you because you did it yourself. But if I built you the road that you took to go to your business, then I'm going to ask for my vig and that's going to go up every single. Let's send Adam a bottle of wine or something for when he gets back into his house, if that ever happens. Look, what he's illustrating there is exactly right. It gets to what I'm always saying about the Democrats. You have that thin veneer of the diversity or tolerance or some. It makes sense on the most base level if you have a bunch of people that are not paying attention and when you peel it back, you end up realizing not only is it hysterical and often racist and awful and anti capitalist and anti freedom and everything else, but it just simply does not work. And that is what these people have done. And I really liked what he said there about Obama. You know, this idea, you didn't build that. Meaning we did everything for you. Because these people want you to live in a perpetual state of slavery. That's why. That's why you have the catcher's mitt lady and the cane guy and Schumer. That's why they're hysterical right now. Because people are starting to realize we don't need you. We don't need you. Chuck Schumer. You tried to coup. Well, actually you did coup the sitting President of the United States and try to install a Muppet. It didn't work. We don't need you. Catcher's mitt face lady. Maxine Waters. The area that you cover is one of the most economically depressed in all of California. But you live in Hancock, Hancock Park, I think in about a four or five million dollar home. You don't even live in the area that you represent. You've made a ton, a shit ton of money in the process. I'm not sure about the cane guy, but the cane looked pretty good. That I could do. I could walk around with a cane like a pimp. That would be cool. Just to show you though, how everything is flipping, let me show you this headline from Vogue a couple years ago. This is when Joe Biden was coming into office. Joe Biden's cabinet picks send a clear message. The adults are back in charge. And there's Anthony Blinken. Antony Blinken, who of course was Secretary of State. Nothing good happened under him. What good happened? Well, Ukraine went completely insane. There's been a bit of a disaster in the Middle East. Like our friends don't respect us anymore, et cetera, et cetera. It's all being reordered right now. But they love the again, it's always the patina of respectability. I don't know, he has nice hair or something. He looks like he should be Secretary of State. So he must be. Now check this out. This is good. Remember guys, the adults are back in charge. And there you have dude chick and black lesbo. You have sex party guy. I'm not sure what the other one is. And that's the guy who is in charge of the nuclear secrets, who stole the woman's kimono or something. Like Tony Knet, who is a columnist at the Daily Signal. Yes, he wrote, he wrote this. I thought this was quite good. He put up this image. Congratulations to President Biden. The adults are back in charge. And yeah, look at, look what happens when they just tell you, oh, the adults are back in charge. And it's just supposed to mean something, Right? That gets to what Carolla was saying. They just say the right things and it means something. Well, what did it mean when the adults were back in charge? We did have the most embassies evacuated in any administration in US history. That was Afghanistan in 21, Chad in 21, Nigeria in 22, Ukraine in 22, Niger in 23, Sudan in 23, Haiti in 24. Now, let's contrast that to what happens when you have real adults that are in charge. Well, real adults, often what happens when you're an adult is you work for a little while and you network with people and you start building things and you might own a business and you might invest and you start becoming more successful. These are things that the left hates because it wants you to bow to the system all the time. But some people go ahead and do that anyway. That whole American dream thing, David Sacks is one of them. David Sacks has been on this show many times. He's one of the co hosts of the all in podcast. But he's a tech. I would say he's a tech legend. This is a guy who, when he invests in something, it succeeds almost without fail. He is now the head. He is the czar of crypto and AI. And here he is talking about the feasibility of a bitcoin reserve. So one of the things that the president instructed us to do was as to evaluate the idea for a bitcoin reserve. And so that is one of the things that's one of the first things we're going to look at as part of the internal working group in the administration. So as soon as we get all that set up, we're still waiting for some cabinet secretaries who are on the working group to get confirmed. So we're still in the very early stages of this, but that's one of the first things we're going to look at is the feasibility of a bitcoin reserve. I think the concept of the sovereign wealth funds along little separate. And you'd have to talk to Secretary Ludnick, soon to be Secretary Ludnick, about that. All right, so we'll get to the sovereign wealth fund in just a second. But the idea of a bitcoin reserve that we bitcoin is here whether you like it or not. I don't give anyone financial advice. I have a little bit of bitcoin I would recommend everyone getting a little bit. It's just a storage of wealth for now. You're not trading it. I mean, you can buy and sell things via bitcoin, but it's complex and there's fees and everything else, but it's a storage of wealth right now as we continue to veer into this digital age. Right. So the idea that the government might want to have a reserve of bitcoin because who knows what will happen to our natural fiat, the US Dollar, even, even in a time of success and resurgence like we're having right now, it's worth looking at. But the real reason I'm showing you that clip is like, oh, oh, there's a guy who has some pedigree. There's a guy with a resume that makes sense to have a job, and he's going to look at the feasibility of having a bitcoin reserve. And he will bring in the right people to have those discussions and think it all through and everything else. And they won't care about someone's genitals or who they slept with last night or what their race was or anything else. Now here's Trump signing the executive order on the sovereign wealth fund. This is an executive order discharges your Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessant and your Secretary of Commerce. How are the lutnick to begin a process that will hopefully result in the creation of an American sovereign wealth fund. It's a very exciting event. We're going to have a sovereign wealth fund which we've never had. We have a lot of things that create wealth and you're seeing that over the last two weeks. I think we've created more wealth. Other people have created de wealth. The people my predecessors, we've created generating a lot of wealth. Scott, maybe you'd like to say something about it. And I'd ask also Howard to say something about it. Yes, sir. This is very exciting. We're going to stand this thing up. Within the next 12 months, we are going to monetize the asset side of the US Balance sheet for the American people. We are going to put the assets to work and I think it's going to be very exciting. We're going to study best practices that's done around the world. It'll be a combination of liquid assets, assets that we have in this country as we work to bring them out for the American people. The extraordinary size and scale of the US Government and the business it does with companies should create value for American citizens. If we are going to buy 2 billion Covid vaccines, maybe we should have some warrants and some equity in these companies and have that grow for the help of the American people. So Bringing all these things together, I think we'll create. Scott and I will create an amazing sovereign wealth fund for you, sir. All right, let me punt the broader conversation about the sovereign wealth. And I mean, I think Lutnick explained it quite well that we should be getting something back for all of these things we're doing. We the people. Right. Because we are the backbone of the country. Scott Bessett, by the way, who spoke there first? It's worth noting, and it'll be the only time I say it on the show, and I'm only saying it this one time because I think it illustrates a broader point. He happens to be gay. Nobody cares. Trump wasn't like, hey, and now the flamer over here who knows a little something about economics. No, here's a guy who happens to be gay. He got the gig. We don't have to do that stupid thing anymore. And so, again, I'm just mentioning it once. Cause it's worth it. Oh, that guy. Big damn wood. Look, Lutnick bangs chicks. What are you gonna do? Here's Lutnick on bitcoin and that banks are gonna start adopting it. So we bet. So the United States better get in front of this one way or another. I guess the easiest way to get a clear view of where bitcoin is going over the next five years is take a look at the last five. Right, the last five. Bitcoin has been an outsider in the finance business, becoming closer and closer and closer. Right now, there's an ETF just starting to go a little bit mainstream, maybe a toe in the water of mainstream. But banks still can't clear it. Banks still can't transact in it. Banks still can't custodian it. Banks still won't transact in it, and they won't finance it. Yet. I think people misunderstand traditional financial service companies. They want to transact in bitcoin. They want new asset classes to transact in. That's just a good thing. But they need the regulator to say it's okay. Right now, today, Right. If a bank were to hold your Bitcoin, they would have to set aside their own money equal to that amount in sort of like in jail. I mean, you'd say so. Well, that's crazy. The answer is that's why they don't hold it. But if you let them hold it, if the regulatory environment was good, you will see all the traditional financial service companies, the big banks, big brokerage companies, they're all going to go head first into bitcoin pond that's what's going to happen, happen. And it's coming. All right. It is coming. And again, we'll do more shows on the idea of the sovereign wealth fund and a little bit more on bitcoin and having a strategic reserve and why all of this makes sense. So I can punt that for now, but the reason I'm really showing you that, to tie it to everything else that we're talking about is like, does that guy strike you as somebody who knows what he's talking about? Kind of does, right? And it's like, why didn't we have for the last four years? And it goes way beyond that. People that seemed like they were competent and, and the answer is obvious because we chose people who, oh, you're gay, you can be transportation secretary. Oh, you like to steal people's luggage while wearing lipstick and then put on a kimono, you can be in charge of nuclear waste, et cetera, et cetera. So the adults, the actual adults are back in charge. And one more on the incoming adults. This is from Town hall. Just yesterday, Palm Bandy confirmed as attorney general. 54 yays, 46 nays. And we haven't talked much about Pam Bondi. She was the one that replaced Matt Gaetz after he stepped away. But the girl, the lady, she's just an absolute like, it's very much what I've described with the Pete Hegseth thing. It's someone who's not only qualified, but just knows how to do it on television and communicate the ideas properly. Here she is going off on. Adam Schiff has called for it publicly. You are aware of that, aren't you? No one has asked me to investigate. But the president has called. The president has called it. You know what we should be worried about? Ms. Bondi, please answer my question right now. You are aware of the roof, Ms. Bondi, your robberies are 87% higher than the national robberies. My question is this. That's what I want to focus on. Senator, do you have the power to say no to the president? And what you're suggesting today by your non answer is you don't have the independence to say no to the president. So let me ask you a different question. It also requires you, if you're going to be a good Attorney general, to be able to tell hard truths to the president. So my questions now are, can you tell hard truth to the president? So let me start with an easy truth that you could speak to the president. Can you tell us, can you tell him that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Can you say that? Do you have the independence to say that? Do you have the, the, the gravitas, the stature, the, the testimonial fortitude to say, Donald Trump, you lost the 2020 election. Can you tell us that here today, Senator? What I can tell you is I will never play politics. You're trying to engage me in a gotcha. I want to ask you a simple question. If you could speak truth to power. So let me ask you another, like you did leaving your Devin Nunes memo. If you be able to review hundreds of cases on day one, I will look at every file. I am. Of course you won't. So will you advise the president? Can I answer the question? Well, my question is I would have plenty of staff. You said of course you want. You'll be able to review. I'm not going to mislead this body, nor you. All right, let me ask another question. You don't want to answer that. Let me ask another question. You were censured by Congress, Senator, for comments just like this that are so restless piece of shift. Look, every part of that, it's just endlessly absurd. The attorney general is basically the country's top lawyer. In essence, you want to make sure that the states are operating within the boundaries of the law. I love the fact that she's like 87% crime rise. Your place, Cali. What are you doing about that? Right? You're a congressman from Cali. Shouldn't you be interested in that? And of course they want to do the election thing. It's nonsense. There's just no reason to believe she wouldn't act within the confines of the law or if she fell. I mean, it's literally your duty as attorney general. If you feel that the President of the United States via executive action or some other means is going to do something that is illegal, not within the confines of the law. It's your job as the attorney General to tell them about that. So it's just gotcha bullshit. And of course, he, this shift like this is this guy who is in charge of the Russia hoax. I mean, he basically was in charge of the Russia hoax. She talks about the leaked memo to Nunes. You get it, you get it. Here she is on Hannity last year and you'll see why a certain set of people don't like her very much. Pam Bondi and criminal defense attorney Mark Garagos. Good to have you both. Pam, let's get your take on this release. What does it mean to you? Well, it's trickled out Sean, it's trickling out. First of all, it should have come out a long time ago. Professor Dershowitz wanted it out. And by the way, he is one of the best attorneys in this country. I know him, I know his wife. That's a great family. And they've been dragged through hell on this. I want to know why AG Garland and the Justice Department are so quiet on this, this tonight. You know, they're out there labeling parents domestic terrorists, yet they're saying nothing about this. And these documents were so slow to come out. Human trafficking is a multi billion dollar business in this country. And Jeffrey Epstein is dead. And Guerlaine Maxwell is in prison for 20 years where she belongs. And if people in that report are still fighting to keep their names private, Sean, they have no legal basis to do so unless they're a child, a victim, or a cooperating defendant by some chance against some potential case against Gurlaine Maxwell. And I think Mark Garago says a great criminal defense attorney will back that up as well. All right, so the point there, of course, is that you could clearly see that this is someone who knows the law, who knows what the right issues are, who can communicate it properly on television, who looks good and is ready to fight. And that is, of course, why they hate her. However, one way or another, she has been confirmed and she is the new Attorney General of the United States. I want to end with this because, look, we started with there's so much goodness happening right now, it's incredible. And there will always be a certain amount of hysteria to push back on the goodness. They will always do awful things and try to burn things down, and they will gaslight you and all of those things. But as what I said before was, about 70% of us just keep building and dreaming and pushing our way to the future and redefine what America is. In this unbelievable time of opportunity, good people are gonna find each other. And I just absolutely love this story. Check this out from the Free Press. In less than two months, Daniel Penney has gone from facing a potential 20 years in prison to landing a role at Andreessen Horowitz, the premier investment firm in Silicon Valley. In an internal statement seen by the Free Press, David Olovitch, a general partner at the firm, confirmed the hire. He will learn the business of investing and he will work to support our portfolio companies, wrote Ulovich in a note sent to all employees this afternoon. Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, the firm's founders, are among the high profile Silicon Valley leaders who came out for Trump ahead of last November's election. We believe in Daniel and are excited to have him as part of our team, olivic said in the note. So, of course, Daniel Penny. You remember the Daniel Penny story. He was the Good Samaritan who was painted as a white supremacist and a neo Nazi and everything else, who, when Jordan Neely, a homeless man, started screaming at and violently threatening a bunch of women and children on a subway, he's the one that put him in the chokehold. He eventually died, but we're all told, see something, say something. Daniel Penney did the right thing and stopped someone who was literally threatening children and women. Now, if those children and women have been stabbed and murdered, suddenly the left would have been quiet on that because it wouldn't have worked. It's like, oh, a black homeless guy, blah, blah, blah. But he was white. And you get how the narrative works. Here he is talking about why he did what he did. I mean, I'm not a confrontational person. I don't really extend myself. And this type of thing is very uncomfortable. All this attention and limelight is very uncomfortable. And I would prefer without it. I didn't want any type of attention or praise or. And I still don't. The guilt I would have felt if someone did get hurt, if. If he did do what he was threatening to do, would never be able to live with myself. And I'll. I'll take a million court appearances and people calling me names and people hating me just to keep one of those people from getting hurt or killed. Does that guy seem like the bad guy? That guy was facing 20 years in prison. That guy did not wake up that morning thinking he was gonna have to do anything. But most of us, when bad things are happening, do absolutely nothing. And he didn't. He almost got destroyed for it. But what's the point of all of that? The point of all of that is if you do the right thing, you can get rewarded. Maybe you can't see it in the immediate moment, but now he's going to be working at one of the premier VCs in the entire country. And that's pretty spectacular. And speaking of pretty spectacular, we will end on this. The not a big hockey guy, but the Florida Panthers. I do love Florida. Florida Panthers won the NHL. I believe they call it the Stanley Cup. Wait a minute. Stanley Cup? Is that why that cup company is called Stanley? That everyone's drinking those Stanley mugs? Could there be a connection there? Has anyone? I just got a lot of shrugs Nobody knows. Nobody has. Everyone's drinking that Stanley. You see everybody with the Stanley. All right, well, I don't know if there's a connection there, but here is Panthers forward Matthew Tukachuk. I think I got his name right at the White House yesterday talking about how grateful he is to be in America. You. Thank you. Well, thank you, Mr. President, for having us today. We. We greatly appreciate it. And being one of the few Americans, you know who loves this country so much, this is such an incredible day for myself, and, you know, you wake up every day and really grateful to be an American. So thank you. That's it. Grateful to be American. Be grateful. As these dingbats are screaming about burn it down and get out on the streets and they're upset that we're looking at where your money's going and everything else. How about just be grateful to be an American and get on board this crazy train of people that should not be together in a traditional political sense, but all love the country and are putting some differences aside. That would be pretty sweet. We have a great cold close for you that Joseph just put together during the show in light of one of the clips. I had an idea. We just put it together. I haven't even seen it yet. And we got a post game show in 30 seconds. Rubenreport.locals.com and I will be giving away the Samizat award tonight. Real Clear Politics in West Palm beach at the Breakers. To Linda Yaccarino, who's the CEO of Twitter, and to my friend Abigail Schreier, and to Jonathan Turley. We're doing that tonight, so I'm guessing that there's no tickets left, but we'll put video of. Of it, and that's pretty good. So, anyway, all right, check out the cold clothes and we'll see on the other side. We get these animals out of our country. And, you know, if you take the shooters, the people that hit old ladies in the back of the head with a baseball bat when they're not looking. Stop it. I want that ride, lady. Help. Someone help. Shut up, you old pig.
