1. Immigration and Deportation Policies

a. Stephen Miller vs. Jake Tapper: A Masterclass in Rhetoric [03:42 - 09:11]

The centerpiece of the episode is an intense interview between Stephen Miller and Jake Tapper. Rubin and Reynolds analyze how Miller effectively dismantles Tapper's arguments regarding immigration without deviating from the core message.

• Jake Tapper [03:42]:

  "Do not want to do. So how do you... How does President Trump make sure that the effort to deport people who are not in this country legally doesn't end up hurting Americans who want safe borders. Absolutely. But also don't want to see even more higher prices in groceries?"

• Stephen Miller [04:04]:

  "Well, I mean, I'm sure it's not your position, Jake. You're just asking the question that we should supply America's food with exploitative, illegal alien labor. I obviously don't think that's what you're implying."

Miller emphasizes that only a minimal percentage (1%) of illegal immigrants work in agriculture, countering Tapper's implication that deportations might harm the agricultural sector. He also introduces the future role of automation in replacing labor, effectively redirecting the conversation from human labor to technological solutions.

b. Federal Workforce Resignations: Elon Musk and Doge's Initiatives [10:00 - 12:27]

Rubin and Reynolds discuss the Trump administration's move to reduce federal workforce costs by offering deferred resignation packages to federal employees, a strategy reminiscent of Elon Musk's workforce reductions at Twitter.

• Rubin [08:19 - 12:27]:

  "This is from the America Pack. This is the pack that Elon set up during the election cycle... All 2 million federal workers. The chance to take a deferred resignation with a severance package of 8 months pay and benefits... Look, if we can save that kind of money and get 5 to 10% of these people out."

The conversation highlights the administration's aim to streamline government operations, reduce expenses, and eliminate inefficiencies, particularly targeting departments like USAID, which Miller claims are predominantly left-leaning.

c. Successes in Deportation Actions: Statistics and Examples [25:00 - 28:00]

The episode presents compelling statistics illustrating the administration's rapid increase in deportation activities, effectively showcasing the government's enhanced capability to enforce immigration laws.

• ICE Enforcement Updates:
  • January 26: 956 arrests, 554 detainers lodged.
  • January 27: 1,179 arrests, 853 detainers lodged.
  • January 28: 969 arrests, 869 detainers lodged.

Rubin underscores the message sent by these numbers, contrasting it with the previous administration's perceived laxity towards illegal immigration.

2. Response from Sanctuary Cities

a. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's Stance [27:59 - 33:11]

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson publicly opposes the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, citing the city's commitment to protecting civil and human rights.

• Mayor Johnson [27:59]:

  "We will continue to protect civil and human rights and we welcome all individuals and families who want to work, live and thrive here in our beloved city."

Rubin criticizes Johnson's approach, questioning his commitment to protecting Chicago's residents and highlighting the president's determination to uphold federal immigration laws.

b. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry's Opposition [30:29 - 31:42]

Mayor Fry of Minneapolis reiterates the city's refusal to cooperate with ICE, emphasizing local enforcement of state and local laws over federal directives.

• Mayor Fry [31:42]:

  "Our police officers will not be cooperating with federal law enforcement around federal immigration law."

Rubin challenges Fry's stance, asserting the federal government's obligation to protect national borders and questioning the mayor's prioritization of undocumented immigrants over legal citizens.

c. Austin Mayor Vanessa Fuentes' Policy [33:11 - 33:57]

Austin's Mayor Fuentes announces that the local police will not enforce federal immigration laws, focusing instead on solving local crimes.

• Mayor Fuentes [33:11]:

  "Austin police have not and will not enforce any federal civil immigration. That is important because for Austinites to know that our local police officers are going to be doing what they do best, which is focus on solving crime versus doing these type of ICE raids or roundups."

Rubin criticizes this policy, highlighting the potential for increased criminal activity and the undermining of federal law enforcement efforts.

d. Potential Legal Battles for Mayors [36:00 - 37:00]

The administration's actions are leading to legal summons for mayors of prominent sanctuary cities, including Chicago, New York, and Boston, signaling impending legal confrontations over immigration enforcement.

• Rubin [36:00]:

  "There's a fight, a brewing. Guys like you can feel it right now. Trump is not gonna turn around on this. Tom Homan's not gonna turn around on this."

Rubin anticipates significant legal repercussions for these mayors as the administration pursues strict adherence to immigration laws.

3. Critique of Media and Political Figures

a. Media Personalities Under Fire [39:04 - 43:14]

Rubin and Reynolds critique media figures like Jake Tapper and Sunny Hostin for what they perceive as biased reporting and inability to address nuanced immigration issues.

• Sunny Hostin [39:04]:

  "I don't know anybody in the world who wants to keep the criminals. I don't know anybody."

Rubin mocks Hostin's statements, emphasizing the administration's focus on deporting serious criminals rather than generalizing all undocumented immigrants as criminals.

b. Introduction of Caroline Levitt as Press Secretary [42:26 - 46:46]

The episode introduces Caroline Levitt, the new White House Press Secretary, highlighting her aggressive stance on immigration and budget cuts.

• Caroline Levitt [42:26]:

  "President Trump directed all federal agencies to terminate illegal diversity, equity, and inclusion programs to help return America to a merit-based society."

Rubin praises Levitt's communication style, contrasting her effectiveness with previous press secretaries like Jen Psaki and Corinne Jean Pierre. He underscores her commitment to portraying illegals as criminals, aligning with the administration's tough immigration policies.

---

4. Federal Budget and Efficiency

Rubin discusses the administration's efforts to balance the federal budget through drastic measures like reducing federal workforce and eliminating wasteful spending.

• Rubin [36:34]:

  "Our annual budget, right now, the whole budget of the US government is $4 trillion."

He highlights initiatives by entities like Doge to cut federal expenditures, projecting significant savings that could lead to a balanced budget.

---

5. Ground News Partnership

To combat perceived media bias, Rubin announces a partnership with Ground News, a platform that aggregates news from diverse sources to provide unbiased information.

• Rubin [38:00]:

  "Unlike other platforms, Ground News doesn't publish stories or push narratives. Instead, it's an independent app and website that aggregates every source on a story so you can compare coverage and see through the media spin."

This collaboration aims to equip listeners with tools to critically evaluate media coverage, promoting transparency and trust.

a. Elon Musk and SpaceX's Astronaut Rescue Request [45:18 - 46:46]

Rubin shares President Trump's request to Elon Musk and SpaceX to rescue two stranded astronauts on the International Space Station, criticizing NASA's delays.

• Trump's Statement:

  "I have just asked Elon Musk and SpaceX to go get the two brave astronauts who've been virtually abandoned in space by the Biden administration."

Rubin portrays Musk as a heroic figure saving both astronauts and the federal budget, reinforcing the administration's narrative of efficiency and effectiveness.

b. Executive Order on Gender-Affirming Care [56:16 - 56:33]

Rubin mentions a Trump executive order banning gender-affirming care for minors, framing it as a protective measure rather than an anti-trans act.

• Executive Order Statement:

  "We are going to stop chemically castrating kids... This is about protecting children."

Rubin emphasizes the administration's intention to safeguard children, dismissing accusations of bigotry or transphobia.

Transcript

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently I asked Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation. They said yes. And then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those onerous two year contracts, they said, what the are you talking about? You insane Hollywood. So to recap, we're cutting the price of mint unlimited from $30 a month.

[Dave Rubin]

To just $15 a month.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Give it a [e-mail] Switch $45 upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month. New customers on first 3 month plan only. Taxes and fees, extra Speed slower above 40 gigabytes. Details. That's terrible. You seem kind of psyched. No, I'm bummed. But I wasn't bummed. I was stoked. How you doing over there? I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin report. It is January 29, 2025. We are live streaming on Rumble on YouTube and on Locals. We have a post game rubinreport.locals.com immediately after the program and before we get to it today we have a jam packed show with like just Trump. Win after win after win after win. I'm really looking forward to this today. But real quick, as per Yesterday, we had Governor DeSantis on. You know there's this big fight a brewing in the Florida legislature. Basically the Republican led Florida legislature is trying to strip the deportation and immigration situation away from the governor. The governor who is the best governor in all of the land, who turned Florida from blue to purple to deep red. And they are trying to give deportation and immigration authority to the Commissioner of Agriculture. That's right. I mean it sounds completely ridiculous and that's exactly how ridiculous it is. Anyway, I yesterday had Governor DeSantis on to lay out his case about this fight. And then I tweeted to Daniel Perez who's a legislator, Republican legislator here in Florida, asking him to come on to defend, defend his position. And he DM me. His team said that he would do it. I presented an offer. I said why don't you come on with Blaze Angola, he's another Republican legislator, but he's on DeSantis's side in this. And I said I'll host the debate. And you guys, obviously my feeling, I'm not hiding my feelings about this. I'm Obviously on Team DeSantis, but you guys know me, I'll do it fairly and evenly. And all that offered up the debate. Blaze said he'll do it anytime today. We just got a response from Daniel Perez's team. Basically sounds like they do not want to do any. They'll debate DeSantis, but nobody else, which this is kind of standard 101. Anyway, we're gonna keep trying. I'll keep you posted with all that. And let's just dive right into it because there's so many good things happening. This Trump Effect, this Trump 2.0 situation, the fact that the government is becoming efficient and lean and mean real quick, it's pretty freaking spectacular. And I would say beyond the policy, it is also connected to an attitude shift. You can see this now with all of Trump's appointees. The people around him, they're not back down, they're not putting up with the BS or anything else. And I'll give you example 32A right here. Stephen Miller, who's one of the spokesmen for the Trump administration right now, he's also in charge of policy. I think we get his exact title. What's his exact title? He went on CNN over with Jake Tapper, and obviously Jake and the rest of the crew, they're very upset right now freaking out about these deportations. And just watch the tone of this interview and watch Stephen Miller just do an absolute master class jobs many Americans.

[Jake Tapper]

Do not want to do. So how do you. How does President Trump make sure that the effort to deport people who are not in this country legally doesn't end up hurting Americans who want safe borders. Absolutely. But also don't want to see even more higher prices in groceries?

[Stephen Miller]

Well, I mean, I'm sure it's not your position, Jake. You're just asking the question that we should supply America's food with exploitative, illegal alien labor. I obviously don't think that's what you're implying. Only 1% of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture. The top destination for illegal aliens are large cities like New York, like Los Angeles, and small industrial towns, of course, all across the heartland. As we've seen with the Biden floods, none of those illegal aliens are doing farm work. Those 30,000 legal aliens that Joe Biden dumped into Springs.

[Jake Tapper]

Yeah, I'm talking about the ones that are.

[Stephen Miller]

No, no, no, but, but I'm. No, no, but I'm explaining this. It's important to understand.

[Jake Tapper]

Now you're kind of changing the subject. I mean, I'm talking about the ones.

[Stephen Miller]

I will, I will go. I will. Give me 30 minutes. I'll go as deep as you want. This.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I don't.

[Stephen Miller]

You and your audience.

[Jake Tapper]

I don't have a third. I'm talking about the ones that could. That work in the Agriculture, industry.

[Stephen Miller]

You can come back and we talk.

[Jake Tapper]

About the ones in the cities.

[Stephen Miller]

I swear I'll do the. I'll do the who, Sir. The illegal aliens that Joe Biden brought into our country are not, full stop doing farm work. They are not the illegal aliens he brought in from Venezuela, from Haiti, from Nicaragua. They are not doing farm work. They are in our cities collecting welfare. As for the farmers, there is a guest worker program that President Trump supports. Over time as well, we will transition into automation, so we'll never have to have this conversation ever again. But there's no universe in which this nation is going to allow the previous president to flood our nation with millions and millions of illegal aliens who just get to stay here. And we are especially not going to allow a subset of those illegal aliens to rape and murder our citizens. So we are going to unapologetically enforce our immigration laws. And as I'm sure you will celebrate, we are going to unleash the power and might of the US Government to eradicate the presence of transnational threats on our soil.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's kind of funny if you're just watching Jake's body language and the shiftiness, and he looks kind of sad. It's like, look, I don't even know what Jake Tapper is. True political opinions are right, because they all pretend to be bipartisan while they're highly partisan. Like, he's obviously a Democrat and would never do that type of questioning with the Democrat, right? But you can see he's going, man, I'm gonna have to deal with this crap for four years because Stephen Miller, who, by the way, is Trump's deputy chief of staff, want to get that title right. He's communicating this all absolutely properly and clearly and not taking the bait or any of the BS. 1% of these illegals are doing agricultural work. Also, the way it's interesting the way Stephen Miller framed it, like, Jake, I'm sure you're not saying you would always want this underclass of people who we can pay real cheap to keep the prices of peppers low. Right, Jake? Right, Jake, Even though that really is the position of most of the left at this point, let these people in, let them work on our farms, because we can pay them less. It's ironic. I mean, they're supposed to be the ones that are for the lower class and all of that nonsense, which, of course they really aren't. Actually. If you're for lower class, you'd be for free markets as much as possible and competition. But put putting that aside, Miller makes another Great point. Which is that automation is going to replace all this anyway. So let's say your argument, and he points out it's 1% of these people, right? We know these aren't the people that are in the cities, they're not also working in the farms, right? But automation. So you bring in all these people, let's say they're all working on the farms and let's just say they're all great people and they're not criminals and they're not rapists and child molesters. Let's say they're all fantastic and it's 20%, not even 1%. I'm gonna do the best version of all of this, right? A ton of people are here. They're good, law abiding citizens working in our farms. That all sounds great. Well, guys, AI is here, drones are coming, automation is here, robots are here. Those jobs will all be automated. It will be one computer, one guy on an iPad running, you know, standing. He won't even have to be in the field. He could probably be in another state controlling all of the robots that are taking the oranges down and opening the bananas and everything else. That is the problem. Because then what are you going to do? So you brought in all these people, you used and abused them for a while, right? You got the lower labor costs. You did that. And then the robots raise them. Well, now what are you gonna do with these people? So there's so many orders of things that nobody wants to think about here. But the overriding point is we either have a border or we don't. It's not that confusing. Unless your name is Jake Tapper. Stephen Miller continued.

[Stephen Miller]

Let me ask you a hypothetical, and you can treat it as a rhetorical question, not answer it if you don't want to.

[Jake Tapper]

Jake, I appreciate it.

[Stephen Miller]

Let's say that. Let's say that an illegal alien arrived in the last three months of the Biden administration from, say, Peru. He was released, he failed to appear in immigration court, he was issued a final removal order. So showed up, got released, didn't appear, ordered deported, been here for six months. Is it your position, Jake, that that guy should get to stay till the end of his life? I mean, what kind of country can run that way?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay.

[Stephen Miller]

I mean, no country in the world runs that way.

[Jake Tapper]

So let me ask you, President Trump has left the door open to invoking the Insurrection act, which would allow him to use military forces, US Military forces inside the United States for law enforcement. What would that look like? Are we gonna see US Troops in American cities arresting undocumented immigrants. Tell us what this is about.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hillary, I already gave you a lot of compliments. You shouldn't have offered that as a rhetorical question. You could see Jake kind of freak. Because Jake, because Jake, for all of the things that he is, he's not a moron, right? He's not just a complete idiot. So of course Jake would want that person deported. He just doesn't want to say it because he works for cnn. Of course. And then the concern that Jake has always bring up, though, well, what if we bring, what if we do all these things? What if we bring in the military and protect our orders? What will that do? And it's like, you know what, guys, I showed you the video yesterday that my friend shot from South Florida of about 20 Chinese migrants just on the street out of a U Haul, and it's the second time it's happened in that area in, in about three weeks, right? So that's about 60 Chinese migrants. What are they doing in Miami? Where did they come from? What are their intentions? Like, what the hell is going on here? So, yeah, if you gotta use the military to clean it up and figure out what's happening on our borders, I actually am okay with that. And most Americans are as well. We showed you some of that polling yesterday. It's not just the immigration thing, which we'll have more on in a second, that Trump is doing. Well, this is absolutely wild. So this is from the America Pack. This is the pack that Elon set up during the election cycle. Breaking Trump administration to offer all. I mean, this is crazy. All 2 million federal workers. The chance to take a deferred resignation with a severance package of 8 months pay and benefits. 5 to 10% of the workforce is estimated to quit, which could lead to around $100 billion in savings. Think about that. Two million people work for the federal government. Do you think we need 2 million people? Most of them don't work at the office. We don't know what most of them do. Obviously, with the DEI offices and the rest of the nonsense, it's like, are these people doing any work at all? But if only 5 to 10% of these people take this, and by the way, you're gonna get paid out for eight months and then you're gonna have to get a real job. Good luck with that. But, but your run is over here, right? You're doing this on the dime of the government, which is our dime is over. So if we can save that kind of money and get 5 to 10% of these people out. Look, this is coming from Elon Musk, the guy who fired more than half of the people at Twitter the day he got there. And the thing works better than ever. Jake Tapper and Stephen Miller discuss that.

[Stephen Miller]

There'S 2 million employees in the federal government. Overwhelmingly, the career federal service in this country is far left. Left wing. The American people.

[Jake Tapper]

I don't know that to be a fact.

[Stephen Miller]

Well, I'll give you a great example. We looked at USAID as an example. That's 98%. 98% of the workforce either donated to Kamala Harris, another left wing candidate, just as an example.

[Jake Tapper]

Okay, but let me just.

[Stephen Miller]

Let me just.

[Jake Tapper]

An entire workforce is having a.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Wait, wait.

[Stephen Miller]

Did you just say that saying someone voted for Kamala Harris is demonizing them?

[Ryan Reynolds]

No.

[Stephen Miller]

So according.

[Jake Tapper]

Your suggestion is that there's a bias.

[Stephen Miller]

No, you use the word demonizing. You just said that I'm demonizing somebody by saying they voted for Kamala Harris.

[Jake Tapper]

Let's get back on track.

[Stephen Miller]

But I just. I'm. I am on track. Okay, Let me stay on track. What I'm saying to you is this. There are 2 million employees in the federal government, right? They're overwhelmingly left of center. The American people. I gotta finish the sentence.

[Jake Tapper]

Okay.

[Stephen Miller]

I gotta finish the sentence. The American people voted for dramatic change implemented by Donald Trump.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I can't believe I'm gonna say this. I'm starting to feel bad for Jake. It's only a couple weeks into this administration and you can see it. This guy is just gonna have the shit kicked out of him for the next four years. And he kind of deserves it, right? He's grilling Miller. There's in a way that he would never grill a Democrat. Of course it's true that most of the federal workers are Democrats. We just checked the numbers. Do you know what percentage of D.C. voted for Kamala Harris? 92.5%. Not 60%? Not 55%? 92.5. So the people who work, quote, unquote, work for the government? Of course they love the government. They love the people that will always fund the government and bring more resources in and make sure that they don't really have to show up to work or do anything else. So, Jake, it's like, what are you. What are you even pretending. Why are you even pretending that that's not the case? Come on, man. I want you to be a little better than you are. You're the one. Same guy over there. This. This offer by Trump, which I think is just spectacular. We've got Some more info on this. This is from Autism Capital over on the Twitter. This is the full buyout memo from the OPM sent to all federal employees titled A Fork in the Road. The pillars of the new federal government are clearly laid out. If federal employees wish to resign, they simply put resign in the subject line of the email they received. The new government will focus on four pillars. A return to full physical presence in office culture. Great. A high performance environment that demands excellence. That sounds good. A more reduced, streamlined and flexible workforce that will include downsizings. Okay. Efficiency. A high non negotiable standard of trust, loyalty and reliability. Hot damn. The memo says even if you decide to stay, there's no guarantee you will have your job in the future. If you want to resign, you have between January 28th and February 6th, and you'll be paid through September 30th, whatever path you choose. We thank you for your service to the United States of America. A new age is beginning. A new America. Guys, this is it. This is it. If we fire some of these people and start saving some of the money, Trump will be fulfilling the exact promise that he had. Our annual budget, right now, the whole budget of the US government is $4 trillion. Now, I want to read you this. This is from the official DOGE account on Twitter. If you want to see how quickly we can actually change things. If we do it right. Doge is saving the federal government approximately $1 billion a day, mostly from stopping the hiring of people into unnecessary necessary positions, deletion of dei, and stopping improper payments to foreign organizations. All consistent with the President's executive orders. A good start. But the number needs to increase to 3 billion a day. Now, I'm not a Mathemagician, but if we get this thing, guys, to 3 billion a day, there's 365 days in the year. You multiply that three bill a day by 365, you've got around a trillion in savings right there. We bring in around 3 trillion a year in taxes. So we actually could balance the budget. Can you believe that? We could also check this out from AF post. Doge has currently slashed 30 billion in wasteful spending. So things are happening. And all of the people, whether they are the swamp creatures in D.C. or the mainstream media, people on CNN, all of the people who have defended this inefficiency, who have defended open borders, who have defended the criminality of all of this, and really the destruction of all of the norms, we're just trying to get back to something that is normal and sane, that's all. There's nothing radical about any of this. Well, they're not too happy about it. We'll have more on that in just a sec. But first, let me talk to you about Hillsdale College. Start the new year by learning something new. One of my favorite traditions is setting New Year's resolutions. It's a chance to start fresh, set meaningful goals, and tackle exciting challenges. This year, I encourage you to resolve to learn something new. New. And Hillsdale College makes it easier than ever. Hillsdale College is offering over 40 free online courses. Yes, you read that right. More than 40 courses, absolutely free. I'm currently taking Constitution 101, the meaning and History of the Constitution, Hillsdale's most popular course. Over 12 lectures, you'll learn about the political theory of the American founding and how it's been challenged throughout history. You'll hear directly from Hillsdale's president, Larry Arn, and their expert faculty on topics like the Declaration of Independence, the Civil War, the progressive rejection of the founding, and modern liberalism. The best part, the course is self paced, so you can start whenever and wherever it fits your schedule. Take action today. Go to Hillsdale. Edu Dave right now to enroll for free. It's quick, easy, and completely cost free. That's Hillsdale. Edu Dave, Start your journey to learning today. All right, again, we're only what, 10 or so days into this administration and Trump is fulfilling his promises. Border cutting, the federal government, getting the budget in order. Like, it's all kind of happening. There's a whole bunch happening on the international front as well. But let's, let's talk about the deportations and illegal immigration situation for just a second. I got a couple tweets here that I think illustrate that things can happen very quickly. This is from ICE enforcement update, January 26, 2025. 956 arrests, 554 detainers lodged. And those are single day statistics. The next day, January 27, 1179 arrests, 853 detainers lodged. The next day, January 28, that's yesterday. 969 arrests. 869 detainers lodged. So you can see, guys, when the government wants to do things, when it wants to be competent and do its job and make sure that people who are illegal, thus, they've broken the law already. And on top of the other laws that many of them are breaking, like, I don't know, molesting kids and selling drugs, we can do things. We actually can do things. We've just been convinced over the years that not only can't we do good things, but we shouldn't do good things in the first place. Check this out. This is a chart of daily encounters by undocumented immigrants. Donald Trump put this up on his Truth Social. And man, if you need a visual illustration of how change can happen, and it can happen real quick, you're not gonna guess what happened on January 20th, guys. In the midst of that drop. Yeah. So you can see basically the amount of people coming through because there now is a message. A message has been sent to the world. It's not just, if you're here, we're gonna find you and you gotta go. It's don't come in the first place. Right. The tacit or implicit message that the Biden administration sent for four years basically was, come, come on down, let's see what's what. Oh, and we're gonna give you some stuff. And a lot of people listen to that. And now they're not. Here's a quick video of new DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in New York City. And well, this is, this is the attitude that seems to be permeating throughout the administration right now here in New York City this morning. You're getting the dirtbanks off these streets. Kind of feels like it could be the beginning of a porn, don't you think? She's doing good work over there. I'm just saying, like, she's got nice hair, good, good makeup. Kristi Noem tweeted this. Our work started at 3am in New York City to arrest criminal aliens. Among the arrests was the ringleader of a vicious Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua. We're getting these criminals off our streets and there you can see they're catching these guys. And then Libs of TikTok tweeted this breaking trend. Ringleader behind Aurora, Colorado Bill Aurora, Colorado apartment building invasion arrested in New York City by ice. So yes, the very same person. You remember that story from a couple months ago that they were taking over these apartment buildings in Colorado and the mainstream media told us it wasn't true? Well, yes, they found the guy and he was in New York City and he's gotta go. He's gotta go. And I suspect that Kirstin Oem is not gonna be treating him all too well. Check this out from the NYPD who have been abused by the Democratic Democrats over the last couple years in New York for the first time in 30 years, there have been zero shooting victims in New York City for a five day period. This is the longest we've gone without a shooting victim since the beginning of the CompStat era and is the result of the brave work that the members of the NYPD do every day. Guys, again, it will really be great. It will really be great if things just keep going well in the country. And all I have to do on this show every day is tell you there were less shootings than there were last year. The economy, it's doing better than it did last year. Foreign policy, great. Everybody's happy and peaceful. Like, what? That would be a hell of a show. It would be a joy doing that show, you know, and we're getting there. We actually are fixing things. And yes, I know they'll try all sorts of things. It will not always be good. And there's always gonna be complications and problems. Okay, fine. But you get it. You get it. The New York City Police Department, because now ICE is in there arresting illegals. They're getting people off the street. They're literally stopping Venezuelan gang members. Suddenly, no people have been shot in New York City in five days. Like, that's pretty damn good. You'd think Democrats could applaud that. But I wouldn't hold your breath. Tom Homan, the man who will play Tom Homan in the movie about Tom Homan, here he is heading to Chicago for deportations. Where are we heading, Tom?

[Tom Homan]

Chicago, Illinois, to arrest public safety threats. We got all of government approach. We got EOs, Marshall, we got FBI, we got ATF, we got DEA, we got ICE, we got HSI. We got them all here. So the president's plan of all of government to attack illegal alien crime in this city, we're going to address it today, starting now.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm not sure were those guys realized what happened there at the end. You get it? It's just clean. It's clear. We're not messing around. The fact that this guy is out there himself. Right? But that also is important messaging. Tom Homan is going to these places, right? We showed you the raid that he did with Dr. Phil the other day. Now he's going to Chicago. Kirstein Noem is in New York City. So we have the faces of these organizations while the organizations are cleaning themselves up. And by the way, the people, many of the people who work at these organizations, look, you may argue, and we just talked about 2 million federal workers that potentially will be getting out of their jobs. It's like there are plenty of good people working for the government. They've just been waiting for the right leaders, and we suddenly have them. And now watch this this is Tom Homan on Fox and he does not like Joy Reid. Tish James AG here in New York says it's all a game you're playing. Listen to this.

[Sunny Hostin]

New York City joined the list of cities where these performative raids are taking place.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We have a government right now that is reckless.

[Sunny Hostin]

Reckless and also, I mean, as I've said, performative. I mean, I want to show you an image of Kristi Noem who was just confirmed, the former governor who was confirmed as Department of Homeland Security. I mean, it says she's cosplaying. It's almost a game where she seems to be cosplaying. I'm not sure what she thinks that she's portraying here. She might as well be at Comic Con.

[Ryan Reynolds]

James and Joy say you're reckless and you're just role playing for fun.

[Tom Homan]

She's dumber than a box of rocks. Bottom line is, let's talk about Chicago for a minute. Chicago mayor says that we put fear in the elementary schools because ICE agents went to elementary school. Total false story. What ICE did in Chicago is save children. What we did in New York today is save children. Just Chicago alone, we arrested nine sexual predators, most of them child sex predators. We took them off the street. We took them off the street in New York today. We're protecting the community. We're saving children. We're going to secure that border so less Americans die of fentanyl deaths. We're securing the border so less women and children are sex trafficking. Biden administration with a 600% increase in sex trafficking. We're securing the border so let's terrorists and people on terrorist watch list get into the country. Biden, under Biden, we had a 3,500% increase in people on terrorist watch list. No, we're saving this nation. We're making America safe again. So they need to get out of the way because we're coming, we're going to do it. They're not going to stop us.

[Ryan Reynolds]

All right, well, the polls, even the legacy media polls say the American people support this operation and they support you. So good luck, be safe, guys. We fact checked that while we were playing the video and it does check out. Joy Reid is dumber than a box of rocks. According to the Internet. That's what it says. Again, this is just. I don't even need to analyze that. It's just Homan telling the truth. And why, why is it Joy Reid or Jake Tapper or any of the lefties or the professors at our elite colleges, why do they seemingly not care about our kids, right? You don't want our kids to be molested, do you? Or sexually assaulted? Why don't you care about our women who are being raped? Or why don't you care about just the average person who lives in New York City or Chicago? And because of the general criminality and gun violence and all of this stuff doesn't go out on the street at night or why so many people, people who I know that live in New York City just don't take the subway anymore. You guys don't seem to be concerned about any of that, but you're very concerned that somehow mean Tom Homan is going to get the child sex trafficker out of the apartment in the residential area of Chicago. Might want to think about that, Joy. Or shall we call you box of Brock's joy? Guys, let me talk about Ground News for a moment and then we'll go back into and dive into some of these blue cities because a whole bunch of mayors I think could end up in a lot of legal trouble because they don't want to go along with Mr. President. Guys, I started this show to uncover what's really going on in the world. But now that Trump is officially back in office, we can expect more agenda driven narratives and outright manipulation from the mainstream media. That's why I've partnered with Ground News. Unlike other platforms, Ground News doesn't publish stories or push narratives. Instead, it's an independent app and website that aggregates every source on a story so you can compare coverage and see through the media spin. It's easy to use swipe through the coverage tag to show whether it's driven by liberal corporations or independent conservative voices. My favorite feature is their Blind spot feed, which highlights important stories the left and right aren't covering. It's a game changer for building trust and transparency in the media. I use Ground News to ensure that I'm providing my viewers with reliable, unbiased information. And now you can too. For a limited time, get their unlimited access Vantage plan for nearly 40% off. Just go to Ground News, Rubin, or scan the QR code to subscribe. Supporting Ground News doesn't just give you the tools to think freely. It also supports independent voices like mine. Ground news Rubin, get 40% off today. All right, so as this deportation situation ramps up and as Tom Homan goes into these cities and Dr. Phil goes into these cities, you can't make any of this stuff up and they get out the rapists and the murderers and the drug dealers. You know that blue city mayors and some Governors are not going to be happy about this. They have instigated this. They have exacerbated the problem. They have created the sanctuary cities they have destroyed. Some of our greatest cities, New York and Chicago come to mind Real quick, let's jump over to Chicago right now because you know Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, he is, let's just say, not a particularly good mayor or particularly concerned with the issues that his constituents, his legal voting constituents have here. He is basically saying he's going to fight Trump on ice and he will protect the illegals who shouldn't be in his city at all, but he's going to protect them from Iraq.

[Jacob Fry]

We will continue to protect civil and human rights and we welcome all individuals and families who want to work, live and thrive here in our beloved city. The Welcoming City ordinance is a law and it is the law of the land here in Chicago. We will uphold it along with the complimentary Illinois Trust act to ensure that our immigrant communities are safe first. Furthermore, we intend to continue to continue to empower all of our communities throughout our city with crucial information and resources. At this time, on the city's website, chicago.gov we offer a know your rights resource guide providing all information, tools and context that our immigrant communities should know. The full force of government from my office, city departments, as well as.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Let's get right to CBS News. All right, so look, none of this should surprise you. As always, he doesn't make the distinction between legal and illegal immigrants. We're talking about illegals here. He basically says that he will violate his oath of office. His oath of office is to protect the Constitution of the United States. Right. And if you are going to ensure that your police officers and your administration can't do the work of protecting your citizens, then yeah, you're kind of in violation, buddy. I have a feeling this guy could end up in jail. That feels like the next version of the story here. And the administration is going to see how far do they want to take this fight? I suspect that Trump and Homan and everybody else are going to take it as far as it can, as it can go. But really, the point of all of that is if you're watching this show and you live in Chicago and we're going to get to Minneapolis in a sec because they've got an another nutcase mayor over there. If you live in these cities, why is it that your mayors don't care about you? You're the ones that vote for them. I thought illegals can't vote. It's a little unclear to Me, whether they do or don't, in some of these cities, you're the ones that are paying taxes. Why don't they want the services to go to you? And just can't make the distinction between illegal and legal immigrants. Like, congratulations, Democrats. Congratulations, progressing. You demolished what was once a moderate left party. You turned it into a bunch of radicals. And I think some of these cities are going to burn as a result of that. Here's Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry saying that he won't cooperate with ICE either. And, oh, he's got a woman standing behind him who married her brother.

[Dave Rubin]

I want to speak directly to people who are undocumented. We love you. We care about you in the city of Minneapolis. We will stand up for you, and we will do anything in our power to help, because you're not an alien in our city. You're a neighbor. Now, in Minneapolis, we have what is called a separation ordinance. And that separation ordinance states clean clearly that our city officials, our police officers and beyond, will not be gathering information showing who is and who is not documented. We do not ask the question with regard to immigration status. And because we haven't asked the question, we don't have any data to show documentation status in our city. Our police officers will not be cooperating with federal law enforcement around federal immigration law. We enforce state and local laws here in Minneapolis, and we will do so to the best of our ability. But as for cooperation with ice, the answer is no.

[Ryan Reynolds]

All right, Jacob Fry. I would say, as I would say to anyone who lives in Minneapolis right now, good luck with all of that. You voted for that guy, and now he is in direct conflict. Conflict with the federal government. By the way, guys, as you know, I'm a states rights guy. I want the states to do as much as possible. I want most of the laws and regulations, let's say, around my life and my businesses and infrastructure and everything else. I want that to come from Florida. You want as much to come from your village or your city, your town first, then you work it up to the state, and then the federal government is only supposed to do a few things. However, Jacob, if I have to do a little Civics 101 with you, one of the things that the federal government is actually supposed to do is protect our borders. So if people come in illegally, which we're shutting down right now, but if they got there illegally through the Democrats that just spent four years wrecking the border, now they're in your city, I'm pretty sure that it is incumbent on you and legally binding that you abide by the laws of the federal government. So there will be some legal battles with all this. But again, it just. The overriding point is why doesn't that guy care about his citizens? With Ilhan Omar standing behind him, who married her brother? That one's obvious. Like, she just wants to destroy America. It's pretty clear. Like, Jacob Frey, you too? Like, are you a Destroy America guy? I guess so, actually. I guess you are. Now let's go to Austin, Texas, because temporary Mayor Vanessa Fuentes is also saying she will not have local police work with ice.

[Vanessa Fuentes]

Over this weekend, we've received a lot of feedback from our community. We have a lot of members that are scared right now with the extent of ICE being and operating in the Austin area and to what extent that impact will have on our immigrant community. And I'm really proud that our police chief came out with her statement on Friday that confirmed that Austin police have not and will not enforce any federal civil immigration. That is important because for Austinites to know that our local police officers are going to be doing what they do best, which is focus on solving crime versus doing these type of ICE raids or roundups. So what is important for me as a local policymaker is to ensure that the city is doing what we can to inform our community of their rights. So we're really ramping up the Know youw Rights trainings and workshops in collaboration with community partners.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Know youw Rights. Isn't that incredible? When she talks about her community, what does she mean? Her community of illegals, by the way? They're not. They're not forcing. The federal government is not forcing the police to arrest illegals. But the point is that if they arrest illegals and then find out that they're illegal, they're supposed to at least report them to ICE and then let ICE deal with it. But is that what you want? Average person of Austin, Texas. Think of all the people. How many people have moved to Austin lately? Elon moved to Austin. Right? Joe Rogan moved to Austin. Michael Malice moved to Austin. A lot of people, A lot of the tech bros have moved to Austin. You guys escaped the lunacy of California, Silicon Valley. You moved to Austin. Austin. What's Austin's. What's the tag phrase? Keep it weird. Keep it weird. Keep Austin weird. It's like, yeah, weird is one thing. We could work with weird. But allowing criminals to run around and then have the police actively not do anything when they find out that they're illegals, that is a problem. So again, there's gonna be massive legal fights here. I do think some, some of these mayors could end up in jail. I really do. Check this out. From Behisi Tweets breaking. Congress just summoned mayors of prominent sanctuary cities to come and answer for their crimes. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston. New York City Mayor Eric Adams. It's getting real. And there's the statement right beneath it. I'm not gonna read the whole thing to you, but there is a fight, a brewing. Guys like you can feel it right now. Trump is not gonna turn around on this. Tom Homan's not gonna turn around on this, this. And are cities going to fight? It seems like New York City, Eric Adams is waking up. So it's. See, and he's also in trouble with the feds, right? So he might suddenly be like, all right, you guys do what you got to do. That might help New York City turn around. To whatever extent it can, it can turn into something decent again. But we just played you the videos. So Austin, Minneapolis, Chicago and, and Boston, which is really bananas with that. Michelle Wu, who literally was having Christmas, Christmas parties for non white civil servants. It's like, let's see what happens. And you guys will get summoned to the White House. And I think you might have some legal stuff on your head. Coming soon. There is a Batman villain who works over at the televised mental institution known as msnbc. His name is Anand Girarde Ras or something. And here he is just laying out some stupid racist B.S.

[Anand Giridharadas]

Look, you know, I think they, there's always this gap between what they say they're going to do and what they do. And that is because what Donald Trump is interested in is using genuine public concerns that are out there and weaponizing them to then do, you know, much more sweeping things for which there is no mandate.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Right.

[Anand Giridharadas]

So in this example, is there a. I was on with you last last week when we were talking about polling that shows there is support in the country for deporting undocumented people with criminal records. There is support for that. So Donald Trump will talk about that and then kind of run on that. And then as you're seeing in the reporting just now, what they actually do behind the scenes they trust will not really get out. And it is part of a different agenda they have, which is really to make America white again. Which part of their attack on everything from birthright citizenship to any number of programs, aid freezing, various forms of aid that real people depend on. They have an agenda to make it harder for regular people to live in this country for immigrants to have to live in, worry about whether they have their papers. We are going to become a kind of check your papers society in the blink of an eye. And there's no mandate for that. But that is what folks like Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon and others around the President actually want. They want to change the very fabric of this country. Something for which there is not that same mandate.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You know my line about the mirror? Yeah, dude, it's just get a mirror. You seem to want endless immigration to come here because you don't seem to like white people. Do you honestly, like, think how dumb this is? So low resolution, boring thinking at this point. Do you honestly believe that Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and Tom Holman and all these guys and Kirsty Noem, they're all sitting around going, let's get all the brown people and get them out of here. That has nothing to do with ending the endless swarm of people who are coming in here. Again, he can't make the distinction between legal and illegal. And it's just like, people are over this. This people are over this. They don't buy this nonsense anymore. And implying that it's something to do with white supremacy or the rest of it. And the anchor baby thing, like, it was never intended that you could just be illegal. Get here, have a baby, and congratulations, now your baby's a citizen of the United States. Right? Like, it's all bs. Fortunately, more and more people are tuning out of it. And now I do have to warn you. Can we put up some kind of warning? We don't have a warning today. We can't get the warn. The warning button is not working, apparently. We're going to show you a clip of the View. It's Sunny Hostin and she's an idiot. So 87% support deporting criminal undocumented violence. Yes.

[Sunny Hostin]

I don't know anybody in the world. Yeah, I don't know anybody in the world who wants to keep the criminals. I don't know anybody.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's where we should be focused.

[Sunny Hostin]

Can I say something? Because, you know, to keep on talking about criminals and immigrants being criminals, and I just want people to understand what the facts are and the stats are, is that undocumented immigrants are much less likely to have committed crimes than American citizens. American citizens commit more crimes than anyone who is undocumented. I also want to make the point that an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal because he or she is undocumented. That is a civil offense. So to call people illegal is in and of itself, I think xenophobic and racist and incorrect.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I do.

[Sunny Hostin]

And incorrect.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I just realized I'm xenophobic and racist. Just of Sunny Hostin, though, for one person. I have a xenophobia of you, an irrational fear of you, and I'm a little racist just towards you, lady. Look. It's so stupid. It's so stupid. First off, the morons, the clapping seals. Regular law abiding Americans commit more crimes than illegals. It's like, yay. What are you applauding for? It's so great. Great. Regular Americans do more crime than illegals. That's not an argument for illegals. It's just so. And I don't. And I genuinely don't care. And by the way, nobody cares about that argument. Whether illegals, whether it's civil or criminal, it's just nonsense. If I was on vacation in Portugal and then I just decided to stay in Portugal forever, Portugal would consider me a criminal. Freaking Portuguese. Guys, let's talk about morning kick for just a moment. And then we're gonna take you to the White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt, who had her first day yesterday. And oh, my Lord. Have you ever wondered what happened to the legendary Chuck Norris? I recently saw a video he made, and I was shocked that even in his 80s, he's still kicking butt, working out and staying active. What's even more surprising, Chuck says he feels stronger, works out longer, and still has plenty of energy left for his grandkids. He credits it all to one simple change he made during his routine. In fact, he says he feels like he's in his 50s again. And it's not just him. His wife tried it, too, and she says she feels about 10 years younger. Her body is leaner, and she has energy that lasts all day long. Chuck made a special video to share exactly what he's doing, and you need to go see it. Go to chuckdefence.com reuben or click the link below this video to watch. It'll change the way you think about your health. The legendary Chuck Norris is 84 years old, but he has more energy than most people have his age. He reveals how he transformed his health by focusing on just three things that sabotage our bodies as we age. Don't miss out. Visit chuckdefense.com reuben or click the link in the description box below to watch the video. Now you won't believe how simple it is. All right, so Caroline Levitt is the new White House press secretary. Some of our previous White House secretaries include Jen Psaki and Corinne Jean Pierre. They're not going to be remembered kindly, I don't think, but Caroline Levitt, this chick is ready for the gig. Here are some highlights from yesterday.

[Caroline Levitt]

Everybody, how are we? Good to see all of you. It's an honor to be here with all of you. A lot of familiar faces in the room. A lot of new faces. And President Trump is back.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And.

[Caroline Levitt]

And the golden age of America has most definitely begun.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Immigration, Carolina, on immigration.

[Caroline Levitt]

Of the 3,500 arrests ICE has made so far since President Trump came back.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Into office, can you just tell us the numbers? How many have a criminal record versus those who are just in the country illegally?

[Caroline Levitt]

Ms. All of them. Because they illegally broke our nation's laws, and therefore they are criminals. As far as this administration goes, I know the last administration didn't see it that way. So it's a big culture shift in our nation to view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal. But that's exactly what they are.

[Ryan Reynolds]

The worst. First, they all have a criminal record. And welcome to the brief.

[Caroline Levitt]

If they broke our nation's laws, yes, they are criminal. Yes.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Thank you.

[Caroline Levitt]

The President has said countless times on the campaign trail, I've been with him at the rallies. I know you've been there covering them, too, Peter. That he is focused on launching the largest mass deportation operation in American history of illegal criminals. And if you are an individual, a foreign national who illegally entered, enters the United States of America, you are by definition a criminal, and so therefore, you are subject to deportation.

[Ryan Reynolds]

All right, so I know Sunny Hostin won't be happy about that with the argument between civil and criminal or whatever. But the point is, of course, everything she said there is. Right. I wonder how long she's gonna be able to do the job with the smile on her face, right? Cause that's kind of great. It's a little bit of that Southern thing, like, which she's, like, insulting you and smiling at you at the exact same time. I don't even know where she's from, but that strikes me as, like, a Southern thing. They're like, are they gonna do anything about illegal. And she's like, yes, well, illegals are criminals. You know what I'm saying? This is what we've needed again. We've needed people that not only can do the jobs, right? So now we've got Homan actually doing the deportations, but then we also needed people that could communicate the ideas. And this is clearly somebody who is ready for this job, and she's communicating it properly. And if you are criminal if you came here illegally, first off, you have broke the law. That's just number one. Now most people right now are not talking about kicking out every illegal. That's not what most people are talking about. Most people are talking about right now. And you can hear this repeatedly in terms of what she just said there, but also in terms of what Homan and Trump are saying is let's get the hardcore criminals out first. Like that's where people are getting a little lostness. We're getting drug dealers and rapists and sexual predators and that sort of thing immediately. Right? They're not going for your housekeeper right now. Now, now we're going to have to have some serious discussions about some of that stuff. We absolutely are going to have to have those discussions because they, if people broke the law, they did break the law. But what do you do with people that have been here that have been peaceful and law abiding and everything else? There's going to be some discussion about that. But right now we're just, we're cleaning up the trash part of this and then we'll deal with the rest of it anyway. She continued with more of just the general lunacy that the previous administration was, was doing.

[Caroline Levitt]

Just during this pause, Doge and OMB have actually found that there was $37 million that was about to go out the door to the World Health Organization, which is an organization, as you all know, that President Trump, with the swipe of his pen and that executive order is no longer wants the United States to be a part of. So that wouldn't be in line with the President's agenda. Doge and OMB also found that there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza. That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money. So that's what this pause is focused on, being good stewards of tax dollars. After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. In meantime, in time it got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy. We're also opening up this briefing room to new media voices who produce news related content and whose outlet is not already represented by one of the seats in this room. We welcome independent journalists, podcasters, social media influencers and content creators to apply for credentials to cover this White House. And you can apply now on our new website, WhiteHouse.govNewMedia all right.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So first off, on the last part of that, we have applied for credentials and I do get to dc, I'm going to try to get there, I don't know, every other month or so. And we've got studios over there with Rumble and hopefully I can get into these press conferences and ask some decent questions. And I don't even consider myself a journalist, but I can ask a question. I think as per everything else she said, like cleaning up the drone mess that we were all worried about. Right. So it was allowed by the FAA and then there were some hobbyists and whatever. So it was nice to hear some clarity on that. We already illustrated the point with the border. Oh, and this 50 million to condoms for Gazans. Do we have a headline? I think we have a tweet here that explains a little of this. This is really unbelievable. Wait until you hear about how Hamas used uses those condoms. They've attached it to incendiary bombs a few years ago and then it's just from a random Twitter account. Can you make peace with people who weaponize their condoms? So literally, that's what they've been doing. They take the condoms and then they basically use them as bombs to go over the border into Israel and burn down fields and go after kindergartens and things like that. So literally someone in our State Department knew that and wanted to get the guys in condoms. Why else would you want to get these people who are oppressed in an open air prison who are apparently being genocided? The last thing that you'd think they would need are condoms. But we have had a four years of a criminal government and even if none of that was true, even if they were really using it just for safe sex, do you want your tax dollars going so that Hamas members can have safe sex? Frankly, I think the Mossad should send them condoms. I'm sure they have some special condom they can send them and deal with several other problems. A little compare and contrast right now. You remember Corinne Jean Pierre. We're obviously not going to have to talk about her much longer, but we wanted to show you a little bit from her first day compared to Caroline Levitt's first day.

[Sunny Hostin]

I am a black gay immigrant woman, the first of all three of those to hold this position. Representation does matter and no one understands this better than President Biden.

[Caroline Levitt]

President Trump directed all federal agencies to terminate illegal diversity, equity and inclusion programs to help return America to a merit based society. So what does this pause mean? It means no more funding for illegal DEI programs. We will continue to celebrate American history and the contributions that all Americans, regardless of race, religion or creed, have made to our great country. And America is back.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, America is back. And I don't know how we could show you something that would just illustrate it more than that. Like, nobody cares, Corrine, that you were a black gay immigrant woman like Caroline Levitt, I assume, is heterosexual and married. I don't care. Right? Like, I don't care. Can you do your job? But you buffoons took us to the edge of the universe and were about to push us into the black hole. And wait, that's starting to get weird. The point is, there's some good things happening. My friend Ben Shapiro illustrated that via the Twitter machine he wrote, between Caroline Levitt, Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, J.D. vance, and Donald Trump himself, among others, I have never seen anything remotely like this extraordinary level of effective quality agenda advocacy from a Republican administration in my lifetime. It's jaw dropping. Yeah, I've been thinking about that a lot, guys. Even as we're preparing the show, it's like there is something so amazing happening right now. And we are right in the thick of it. And it's right at the beginning. Like, if we do this right, years from now, we're gonna all look back on the, you know, eight years of crazy progressive lunacy and woke crap and Biden dementia and Covid and all. We're gonna look back on it and it'll feel like a dream, I guess, a little bit more like a nightmare. But it'll be like, oh, that thing happened, remember, when things were freaking crazy. But we won't have to dwell on it that much anymore because we'll be like, oh, the golden age is here. And look, we're going to Mars. And a whole bunch of other cool stuff. My friend Clay Travis kind of reiterated what Ben said. He wrote this. We've never had a better eight days of presidential actions in any of our lives. Simply incredible. All of the common sense decisions Trump is taking. You can't get a tattoo under 18 in most states. Why in the world should you be able to chop your private parts off? And what he is referring to there is a Donald Trump executive action from yesterday. That's. That's right. We're going to stop chemically castrating kids. Today it was my great honor to sign an executive order banning the chemical castration and medical mutilation of innocent children in the United States of America. Our nation will no longer fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support so called gender affirming care, which has already ruined far too many previous lives. My order directs agencies to use every available available means to cut off federal financial participation in and institutions which seek to provide these barbaric medical procedures that should have never been allowed to take place. So guys, this is great. This is great. We are going to stop chemically castrating children. That is good. Now I want to make a distinction here because it's worth noting because you know, a certain set of people will always go crazy about these things. This is not anti trans or based in bigotry. If you are 18 years old and you grew up as a girl, but you have felt like a boy your entire life or whatever it is, and you at 18 years old, now you are an adult. You wish to do whatever you want to your body, dress whichever way you want, all of that stuff, you can do it. The order is about children. There is no right that they took away from trans people. This is about protecting children. I don't think you will get that level of nuanced conversation on this on msnbc, but you don't watch msnbc, so you'll be all right. We've got this from the Post Millennial President Trump issued an official request to ELON Musk asking SpaceX to rescue two stranded astronauts. So this is wild and this story has largely fallen under the radar, but let me read the post here from Donald Trump. I have just asked Elon Musk and SpaceX to go get the two brave astronauts who've been virtually abandoned in space by the Biden administration. They have been waiting for many months on the space station, the International Space Station. Elon will soon be on his way and hopefully all will be safe. Good luck, Elon. So this is actually crazy. So we just pulled this up right before the show. So why are astronauts stuck in space? I'm just going to read this to you. This is super interesting and I don't know why more people aren't talking about it. Here's how the Boeing Starliner crew ended up on the space station for months. Two NASA astronauts who flew up to the International Space Station in a Boeing Starliner capsule for a round trip that was supposed to last just over a week, will be stuck in space for closer to a year before they can come home. Williams and Wilmore blasted off to the space station in June. Their mission was supposed to take between eight and 10 days. But helium leaks in the capsule's propulsion system and degraded thrusters, which are important for reentry, upended plans to bring the astronauts back to Earth. On Tuesday, December 17, NASA announced Williams and Wilmore would return to Earth after The agency's new SpaceX crew arrives at the space station. That won't happen until late March at the earliest, so NASA and SpaceX can have more time to finish a new Dragon spacecraft for the mission. NASA said. So basically we trapped two astronauts up there that were supposed to be up there for a week to 10 days. And now we're going to get Elon to go save them. I mean it. This is the guy you guys hate. He's literally making life interplanetary. He's saving astronauts, he's defending free speech and he's saving you. Even the people that hate him, that are pretending he's a Nazi and everything else. He's saving you money right now. Because through Doge, we already illustrated, right? A billion dollars a day. They think they can get that to 3 billion. That would be a trillion in savings a year. And then bang, we have a balanced budget. And then what could we do from there? Our final video, in case we haven't inspired you enough, right, guys, like, things are working. They're going, they're clicking. It's good. Feel it. Masticate it. Wrap yourself around it like valor. Here's a bit more of some of the good stuff. What will we do with this moment? How will we be remembered? Look at the opportunities before us. This election really isn't about the left versus the right. It's about we the people, choosing our government and the choice between freedom versus tyranny. Nobody has a chronic disease burden like we have. Why are we allowing this to happen to our children? Ultimately, the only thing that will save our country is if we change, choose to love our kids more than we hate each other.

[Caroline Levitt]

What is going on here is deeper than politics.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It is deeply spiritual. We are being called to rise above the hatred and the fear and the evil. We need to remember above and beyond that we must love our neighbors, that we must treat other people as.

[Stephen Miller]

As we hope to be treated.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You want to be a rebel? You want to be a hippie? You want to stick it to the man? Show up on your college campus and try calling yourself a conservative.

[Stephen Miller]

America is going to reach heights that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It has never seen before.

[Jacob Fry]

The future is going to be amazing.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Don't you want healthy children? Don't you want a president that's gonna make America healthy again?

[Caroline Levitt]

I come to you today as a former Democrat.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I will be a first time Trump voter tonight. Ro. The people dreamed this country and it's the people who are making America great again. So obviously that was from the Trump campaign and I normally wouldn't end on like an ad. Like, it's not even an ad. It's just kind of a beautiful thing there. Right? Like, what is that? Is that an ad? He's president now. So it's just. But what brings that all together? Right? What brought all those people together? Notice they weren't really talking about policy, they were talking about love of America. Right. And how many Democrats, or I should say extems, were in that video from Nicole Shanahan and obviously Bobby and Tulsi, et cetera, et cetera. It's like that's the thing that's happening right now. We're still at the beginnings of it. There still will be a pushback against it. You're still going to deal with the Jake Tapper nonsense and the lies of MSNBC and everything else, but the good things just keep rolling and we just got to keep strengthening them and showing that to people. And if you build it, they will come. Speaking of building it, we've got a post game show in 30 seconds. Rubinreport.locals.com We've got an iOS app and an Android app and it's free to join us over there. And it's just a couple bucks a month if you want to play along and get ad free videos and all that good stuff. I thank you for watching.
