AI CEO Humiliated as Mark Zuckerberg Responds to His Threat

25:42And you know, when you listen to him right there for that minute or the clip we showed you before, just right before that about Lonsdale, it's like, do you think they know what they're talking about? I do. Do you think Bernie Sanders knows what he's talking about when it comes to, I really try to picture Bernie Sanders sitting down at the end of the day trying to turn on Apple TV and figuring out which one's Netflix and which one's Amazon Prime. You think he can do it? I don't. But you want to give him control of the Internet and the future? Another guy that I like is Caldecanis' co-host on the All In Podcast, David Sachs.

26:17Here he is with Laura Ingraham. And this is really the key part. OK, you're going to slow us down via regulation here. That's one thing. You're going to let China then run towards superintelligence. That's another. But of course, what they will also want to do is create some sort of globalist movement that really will stop the U.S. from innovating because we are the innovators. Go. Amadei's plan doesn't go far enough that there should be this regulatory body, this global body to monitor and regulate AI. What could go wrong? Well, I don't know how Dario's plan could go any further. He already says that we have to coordinate with the Europeans.

26:55We have to make a deal with the European Union. Then he says we have to make a deal with the Chinese. I mean, what's left? Martians? I mean, this is the way they think about this issue. They want a world health organization for AI. They basically want AI governance to be done by some sort of globalist body. What we believe is that responsibility starts at home. It's your responsibility to make it safe. And the government's role in that should be to make sure that you have the right incentives. So if you don't make it safe, you can be sure that we will basically hold you accountable. You have product liability.

27:30You'll be sued in the courts. The regulators will come after you. The Trump administration will come after you. Again, I mean, it's three straight clips in a row. It's like people that are experts in this that are building it, making sense, understanding market forces, understanding what the goal of a company actually is, understanding, as he pointed out there at the end, the proper role of government, maybe having some guardrails around this related to laws that would punish companies if they do crazy things. But the real purpose of that clip was that they want some sort of globalist organization to tell us what to do.

28:03And then think about it, all the countries that won't sign on to it, or whether China signs on or not, Do you think they're gonna honor it? They'll be rushing forward to do this. Or we're gonna find out one day that, you know, there was a little outfit in Pakistan, actually, that, you know, Pakistan didn't sign on to our AI treaty. And next thing you know, Pakistan will be ahead of us in the race to super intelligence. That is literally what will happen. And also, do you think that any of these giant organizations, these groups, we all signed a piece of paper saying we're gonna cut emissions and...

28:36Paris Climate Accords, They did absolutely nothing. There was no mechanism in them to force any country to do anything. What right do we have as a fully industrialized nation to tell India, which is going through its industrial revolution, what they can do? It's the same exact thing. So what it would do is that the US would be punished because we have the greatest, richest, most robust set of people and ideas that are innovating and it will slowly bring everybody else up. So that's exactly, which by the way, is exactly why Bernie wants it. Do you think he likes America very much? It's interesting that all of the people who rail against how awful America is all the time want regulation and then they want us to be beholden to some group outside.

29:24You know, it's also sort of like when they're always like, well, it's international criminal court. The ICC said this. Who gives a flying F what the ICC says? I'm an American. I'm beholden to the laws of the United States of America. There's an old piece of paper. They've got it somewhere in DC. It's called the Constitution. That's what governs us, not some international body of a bunch of people that don't know how to do anything who just would like to control you. Let's talk about Kalshi for a minute and then we'll do more on the other side. Speaking of AI and tech, will the US create a national AI regulator?

29:56Well, look right here. Here's what the Kalshi markets are showing. Kalshi's like buying or selling a stock except the line isn't set by an algorithm working against you. It moves based on where the money actually goes. So if you put$100 on no, you can earn 117 if correct. Download the CallShe app and use code RUBENREPORT to get 25 bucks. When you trade 25 bucks, CallShe, put your money where your prediction is. All right, let's pause on AI for a moment, mostly, and talk about pooping. Because in New York, there aren't a lot of public bathrooms. I say this as someone that spent many of my formative years in New York City.

30:33and you know, if you have to go to the bathroom, you basically have to run into a Starbucks, but then Starbucks mostly had become homeless shelters for people where they took the tables out because they were so nice and tolerant and usually there were people doing meth in the bathroom, so then you might wanna go to a hotel bathroom, but then they started locking it or making sure you needed to have a keypad. So public bathrooms are a bit of an issue in New York because then also homeless people just started pooping on the streets and you all know about the poop map up in San Francisco. So now they've got the socialist, the socialist Islamist mayor of New York City, Zorhan Mamdami, and how many people in the five boroughs of New York?

31:09How many? 8.6 million people in New York, wandering through New York. Many of them have to poop or pee or whatever it might be. And well, the socialist, he's gonna save them all because he's putting in 17 new bathrooms. Look at this. 17 new public bathrooms all across five boroughs because you can't wait and you shouldn't have to. Wow, 17 new bathrooms. Thank you, socialism. And of course, we know these bathrooms will all become drug dens and weird sex places and weird sex and drug places and everything else. Here's a bit from AM New York on the plan. Mayor Zorhan Mamdami announced Wednesday that installation has begun on the free modular bathrooms, part of a four million year-long pilot aimed at addressing the city's longstanding shortage of public bathrooms.

32:00As of June 25, New York City had 975 operational public restrooms. That's about one for every 8 ,700 residents, according to a January report from the Independent Budget Office. Roughly 85 % were located in public parks. The new 17 ADA accessible units will operate daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and include running water, flushing toilets, heat and air conditioning, and baby changing stations. But entry requires a text message QR code, the Throne app from the company operating the bathrooms or a physical tap card distributed through local organizations. The 17 new ADA accessible units will operate daily from 7 a.m.

32:39to 10 p.m. and include running water, flushing toilets. Oh, we did this already. Okay, so you're going to need an app and some form of ID to poop in New York City. You will not need a form of ID or an app or anything else to vote in New York City. We do have some video of what these bathrooms look like, these 17 bathrooms for the 8 million people. Take a look. Here we go. Come on in. Great. Inside. The door automatically closes. Wave at the light on the door to exit when you're done. Great. Bienvenido a throne. Nos encargamos de la puerta. Cuando terminas, agite la mano frente al anillo de luz para salir.

33:21And then you've got touchless features, so the toilet, you don't need touchless flush, touchless sink and soap. We also have free menstruation pads and a baby shaking station, pups. And I really love this paper towel dispenser and trash. Amazing. Yeah, and then to exit, you just wave your hand, so no touching the door. And there we go. Yay! I really love the paper towel dispenser. Oh my God, it's a dispenser with paper towel. I love it. That is nice that they have a menstruation thing for the men of New York City, so that's pretty good. Also, I'm sure many of you were thinking the same thing I was, and if you were, we are deeply bonded, and I love you very much, but the wallpaper in that New York City bathroom right there, that's the same wallpaper that Blanche Devereaux had in her bedroom in the Golden Girls, and she even had matching linen on her bed.

34:22Look at that. So I'll give it, all right, I'm trying to just find something, a little silver lining here. But we did a little math on this using AI, and that's why they'll hate us even more. But if 8.6 million people had to share 17 bathrooms, that's one stall per 505 ,882 people. Those 17 stalls open 15 hours a day could theoretically handle only 3 ,800 poops a day, Taking post-poop breakfast into account, each person would get a turn roughly once every six years. And that's why they want to control AI. Here's Zorhan on how he'll stop the bathrooms from becoming encampments. Although I empathize as the father of a six and three year old of having more public bathrooms, I've also covered instances in other places where modular style public bathrooms have resulted in drugs, prostitution, and homeless encampments.

35:17So I'm wondering how you're going to combat that here. Every single unit is cleaned by a real person and has done so on average every 15 uses or fewer. The other is that these are bathrooms where there's, there is, you know, you start to have flashing lights after a certain point to encourage people to get out of the bathroom. The other thing is after plenty of warnings, as the mayor is talking about, with acknowledgement that the time is up, the door eventually will open, letting that user know well in advance. And that's actually saved lives in other locations where someone is having a medical emergency.

35:56Contrary to your traditional public restroom that has a door that might stay locked for hours until maintenance comes along and knocks, this actually provides access to an individual where people can walk by and see, In some cases, our cleaners have showed up and been able to help somebody immediately. And all of our staff will be offered training on Narcan as well. Thank God I no longer live in that place. Okay. So first off, that's nice. They're going to have, in case you're pooping for too long, they're going to have flashing lights. So it'll basically turn into a club. That's great. And yeah, then they're going to have Narcan available for the meth heads or whatever Narcan solves.

36:35Is that fentanyl? I don't even know what it is. It's just like, this isn't going to work. You're gonna have, they're all gonna turn into dumps, literally and figuratively, and we're gonna clean them every 15 uses. And he says a human's gonna do it, except this might be where you might want a robot to do it because it ain't the best job. You're just awful. One of my employees, I don't wanna say who, and it's not someone that physically works here with me. It's one of our, we have several remote employees. I wanted to make note of this, that recently there was a house under construction on his block and they put up a porta potty.

37:11And he said within 48 hours, junkies found it and two people had to be removed from shooting up and overdosing in the porta potty next door to him. And now it has a padlock on it. Did it have the same wallpaper as Blanche Devereaux's bedroom? I don't know, but the point is of course, this is just going to turn into a drug filth, plagued, awful, horrendous thing, much like what happened when San Francisco tried it. Yeah, take a look. Sex, drugs, and filth plague city-sponsored public restrooms. Can't these people find better places to have sex and do drugs? Like who's like, yeah, there's a porta potty, let's go have sex and do, like that.

37:50That's definitely one thing that's happened to me as I've gotten older. I despise public bathrooms. I cannot, I hold my breath. When I'm at the airport, I literally hold my breath while I'm peeing. There's a little info for you. Let's talk about Chapter and then we will move on. Medicare is one of the things that can get incredibly confusing. You guys know that. There are tons of plans, tons of fine print, and most people don't have the time to sit there and figure out whether they're actually the right one. That's where Chapter comes in. Chapter has independent Medicare advisors who compare every plan nationwide to help you find the plan that best fits your need, your doctor, and your prescriptions.

38:22They're not there to pressure you into switching just for the sake of switching. If you're already on the right plan, they'll tell you, and if not, they'll walk you through your options and help you make a change. Historically, seniors who work with Chapter have saved an average of$1 ,100 a year. The call is completely free. There's no pressure to sign up and they can review your options in under 20 minutes. So don't just leave your Medicare coverage on autopilot. Call Chapter today at 332-867-0207. Again, that's 332-867-0207. It does remind me actually that, you know, we have a little bathroom here.

38:54It's more of a washroom. It's just a toilet and a sink here and five or six people here working on a daily basis. I'm not calling anyone out live, but somebody's dribbling. Somebody's dribbling, okay? Wow, you all laughed. You all gave me the exact same laugh at the exact same time, which means either you all know it or you're all dribbling. All right, we're gonna have a team meeting after we're gonna have to discuss this. So okay, that's what they're doing over in New York. And what's happening in Cali, which is equally as crazy as New York? Well, high taxes, high regulation. What does it mean?

39:23Well, Hollywood is literally leaving, listen to this, from Defy and Elizon X. Paramount is reportedly preparing to leave California over legal battle with the state over its proposed$110 billion Warner Brothers merger. While the DOJ cleared the massive entertainment merger, California and 11 states filed an antitrust lawsuit to block it. CEO David Ellison has said the company could begin moving out as early as October 1st with Tennessee, Texas, and Georgia reportedly among the possible destinations. LA economic analysts estimate that California could lose up to 58 ,000 jobs and 21.2 billion in annual economic output if Paramount moves.

40:05I mean, Paramount, look at that. The water tower, the Hollywood sign in the back, like that is as much of an institution, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Universal, all of these things. And they're not producing movies there anymore. They have taxed them into oblivion. And eventually Really people say enough is enough. And the irony of the 58 ,000 people who will lose their jobs is probably 45 ,000 of them are just lefty ding-dongs who voted for all the policies that's gonna force the company that they work for to fire them. Listen to this from Grock. Paramount, now led by David Ellison, is threatening to leave California, mainly because of a bitter fight with California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

40:47Bonta's leading a 12-state antitrust lawsuit to block Paramount's roughly$110 billion takeover of Warner Brothers. Discovery and Ellison have told executives that if there's no settlement by about October 1st, 2026, the company will start moving headquarters and eventually more operations to cheaper, more welcoming states such as Tennessee, Texas, or Georgia. You know, a micro version of this would be that The Daily Wire moved. The Daily Wire, their offices were about a mile from my house in Los Angeles. COVID happened, all the craziness. They were like, we've just had it. And where did they move?

41:21They moved to Nashville. Taxes are way less, the employees are happier because there's no state income tax. There's less regulation. They were able to build their studios, which are fantastic in Nashville, basically in no time. Get the building, I have no doubt, was cheaper. The housing was cheaper for the employees and everything else. And at some point, people are just like, yeah, I get it. LA is nice, it's 75 degrees a lot, but it's just not worth staying here. Now, one guy who's staying for now, but I'm telling you, if you thought he was red-pilled a couple months back when he was running for mayor, he is so red-pilled right now.

41:58And just on a rampage, you know, I'm talking about Spencer Pratt. Here he is just leveling this entire situation. And that's another thing Bonehead Bonta fails to tell you. It was Netflix was originally the buyer for Warner Brothers, and Bonehead Bonta had no problem with that. Are you shilling for Netflix? He says that if Paramount merges with Warner Brothers, it will decimate industry competition because the studios would go from five to four. What? Did we go all these years only to find out now that Rob Bonta can't even count? Did he get into DeLorean and gun it to 88 back to an ancient past where Amazon and Netflix didn't exist?

42:33When Lionsgate didn't just join the Trace Comics Club with Michael? When a YouTuber with 750 grand just grossed$300 million in theaters with Obsession? What planet are you living on where there's not enough competition in Hollywood? Bonta again has to deliberately exclude the streamers in order to cook up his bullshit argument that Paramount would have a near monopoly in cable when in reality, cable share of viewers is vanishing so rapidly. Paramount would only own 7 % of all television, 7%. That's the monopoly? Bons is his pants over? I mean, they're gonna rue the day that they burned his house down because he's obviously not, he's gonna keep fighting and fighting and fighting.

43:10My suspicion is within two years, he'll live in Florida, but still he's gonna be a headache for them. You know, in some ways, it's the same story as AI. What you have is government getting involved. Government seems to not, they're very concerned that if Paramount and Warner Brothers merge, that's what the attorney general is upset about, that there's gonna be less competition. It's very, doesn't it sound like the AI story in some sense? And it's like, dude, you're not even thinking straight because Amazon exists and Netflix exists and Tubi and FUBU and Pluto and all these other freak YouTube douchebag and they're all out there, people.

43:44So it's like the government just, all you're doing, these companies wanna make a merger. Is it because they're all bad people and they just wanna destroy everything? Or maybe they have some reasons that as they're watching the industry change, they're realizing if they join forces, they could compete in different ways. But then some attorney general, it's just like Bernie Sanders showing up, I'll stop you bad tech companies from doing that. And it's the attorney general, I'll stop you bad entertainment companies from doing what you wanna do. And then they're just like, okay, goodbye. Goodbye. And they're not the only ones saying goodbye to that craptastic place.

44:17Listen to this from Deadline. American Idol moving production to Georgia as ABC series becomes latest to leave in California. You know, if you wanna make some mad cash, this is just a tip for somebody that's out there. Open up a Botox, what else do they do? Restylane, one of those things. You're gonna get all these LA people now coming to Georgia. I'm sure Georgia has, they've got the Georgia housewives. They've probably got plenty of that stuff there. But as you bring it in, these women, they are going to need, or what's his name? The guy who's the Simon Cowell. You saw what happened to his face over the years.

44:50It's like, show me old Simon Cowell and new Simon Cowell. We'll do that in just a second. But that's a good idea. You gotta, you're gonna move all these people out. You gotta give them what they want. And it's usually botulism in their face. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary, Scott Turner, here he is finding out that, well, telling us about a homeless organization in Los Angeles that was basically a giant money laundering scheme to the tune of$75 million. We will not tolerate the theft and the abuse of taxpayer dollars in our country. These frosters received over$130 million.

45:28More than$75 million of those were funneled through the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, also known as LASA. That is nearly the same amount LASA received from HUD every year until the Trump administration put an end to the California corruption. LASA has continually funded a homeless industrial complex on the backs of American taxpayers while fraud has continually run rampant. All right, so you get it. I don't have to analyze this too much. Again, it's just, oh, we're going to help the homeless. What do we need? Lots of money. It turns out to be just money laundering, fraud. They don't get homeless people off the streets.

46:07If any of it worked, then California, with the amount of money they put into homelessness, everyone would have a freaking home, but they have exploding homelessness. And why is it that we don't have that, say in Florida? And there's many reasons for it, but first it's because we arrest you if you're doing drugs on the street. It's also because we create the conditions for a flourishing economy. Thus, people have jobs. They don't lose their jobs as much. They don't become homeless. We can do the long list on that, but I'd rather show you Simon Cowell's face, what happened here. I mean, so what I'm saying is, is he still on American Idol?

46:36I don't even know. I never really watched it. But the point is, if these people are moving, they're gonna need whatever juice they're injecting him with in Georgia. So somebody open up a little aesthetic day spa over there in Georgia. Nick Sorter over on Twitter pointed out something that I thought was rather interesting, as long as we're talking about fraud and such. Breaking, the US House just passed a bill that forces states, including Minnesota and California, to hand over any and all information demanded by the Attorney General to investigate fraud against federal programs, Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, unemployment insurance, various COVID-era funds, broadband grants, disaster assistance, and more are all included.

47:16Newsom is not gonna be happy. So here's a rare moment that the federal government, they're passing a law that actually makes sense. The states should, if you are getting one shiny dollar from the federal government, you should have to show all of your receipts on that. And that's gonna look pretty bad for Tim Walz over in Minnesota. It's gonna look pretty bad for Gavin Newsom and everything else. We will see if something happens. But Nick Shirley, who, as you know, I mean, he's the kid that basically blew the cover off the Leering Center and all of the Somali fraud and everything else. He brought up a good point.

47:49I was gonna make it, but I'll just read what he was saying here. He responded to that tweet and he said, it's crazy. This is something that wasn't already in place. the Lerers, the learners, destroyed the good faith America operated on, and now it's time for full transparency to destroy all the fraudsters looting from the legal hardworking citizens. And ain't that the truth? How is it possible that, well, the federal government has been giving money to the states and all of these programs to do these things, we already didn't have some program or basic way of following the accounting on all this stuff, which by the way, AI could help with.

48:23if AI could help with transparency and everything else. Here's data dorks, CNN's Harry Enten with some surprisingly good news. There might be reasons to think the GOP, at least on the Senate side, is gonna do okay in the midterms. The GOP was underestimated by more than two points in major statewide races. It's happened a lot. It's happened a lot recently. Getting a little schvitzier. I think I'm gonna have to have a drink in a second. If the polls undershot the Republicans by greater than three points, well, that's all you need. That's all you need for Republicans in order for them to actually probably hold on to the U.S.

48:57House of Representatives. They would likely win 218-plus House seats. And keep in mind, this polling error absolutely has happened before. Therefore, when we talk about the race being within the margin of error, the House of Representatives, even if Democrats are favored, it is still within the margin of error that Republicans can win if we see polling misses like we have before. I keep calling him the data dork. Phoenix likes, what do you like? Polling Poindexter. That a dork just kind of flows a little bit better. But that aside, I think I said he had good moves mostly on the Senate side. That was actually on the congressional side, but that's the point.

49:31And by the way, this is why I'm never caught up too much in polls. Sane, functional people. I have never once been called for a poll. We know for years, once cell phones became ubiquitous, they were still calling people on landlines. That's a certain subset of people that are gonna pick up, right? And are there people that are gonna vote Republican and just wouldn't want people to know because they might be thought of as racist and everything else. But the basic point of that is if the polls are off by, just a tiny bit is really, really good for the Republicans in the House. And on the Senate side, look, the Senate side is weird.

50:05We've got the Marxist, Islamist, jihadi running in Michigan and we'll see what happens there. And Mike Rogers, please pull out all the stops and make that thing happen in Michigan. Texas is the weirdest one, obviously, with Tallarico. and all the numbers seem to be breaking towards him right now, but we will see. But also don't forget the Republicans have the tiebreaker because of the vice president and also the Democrat Nazi that Bernie Sanders was a big fan of and so was Elizabeth Warren. Graham Plattner's out now that now they've got some guy that literally nobody is talking about. I don't even know his name.

50:37So I think that's pretty good. Let's talk about ethos for a second and then a bit more before we close up shop. Guys, there are certain things you put off because they're not exactly fun to deal with and life insurance is probably near the top of that list. But once you've got a family and people depending on you, it's something worth handling, and that's where Ethos comes in. You can apply completely online in minutes without a medical exam. You just answer a couple of help questions online. You can get up to$3 million in coverage, and some policies start as low as$30 a month. Take 10 minutes to get covered today with life insurance through Ethos.

51:09Get your free quote at ethos.com slash Rubin. That's E-T-H-O-S dot com slash Rubin. Application times may vary, rates may vary as well. Let's do a rubenreport.locals.com community Q &A and Joseph once again is at the computer. The robots could take over, the laptop could close on his fingers, but he's willing to risk it because Dave Rubin pays all of his health insurance. Hell of a guy, wouldn't you say? So if you wanna get a question in live, rubenreport.locals.com. Elizabeth says, do the boys love playing with Clyde? Does Clyde enjoy it or just tolerate it? We keep getting a lot of questions.

51:43People just wanna see more pictures of Clyde lately. We haven't shown too many of them lately. He's just doing great. There he is. People always ask about that little scar on his head when we adopted him that day, when I saved him from the shelter. He had a huge, it was a bloody, like open bloody gash. They didn't know what happened. And he had surgery, actually. You know, I can't remember the doctor's name. He was a fan of the show. And he reached out to me when I posted a picture of Clyde. I'm blanking on the doctor's name, but just did a bang up job. And he's got a little scar there. But to the boy, yeah, the boys do play with him a lot.

52:13But just in the last few weeks, they're like poking him a little bit more. You know, they're pulling on his tail a little bit. And we've been really trying to calmly explain to them that we love Clyde. Clyde loves all of us, but you don't want to be pulling a dog's tail or, you know, poking him too much because he might react in a bit of a weird way. But he's, even though some, I guess he may look in some sense, I guess he could look a little scary if you got a little chihuahua or something. Oh, I got a funny chihuahua story. You know, he's just, he's so freaking sweet and kind and good. Funny enough, when I got him from the, it was that first day of COVID and I went to the shelter because they were gonna put all these dogs down and I literally grabbed him.

52:53I didn't have a mask, they wouldn't let me in. And whatever, I grabbed him. I kid you not, he was in the back with about 10 other dogs. They weren't in cages. They were just in one like pen. And there was, and this is only in LA would this happen. And I think we have a picture of it somewhere, Connor. Maybe you can find it. We definitely played it. We definitely showed this picture about five years ago. there was a chihuahua that was about this big, literally in a dress trying to hump him. My guess is it was a male chihuahua because that's how they roll in LA, but we probably have that picture somewhere.

53:23He was sexually accosted by a little chihuahua in a dress and now he lives here in the free state of Florida. Rob says, even though Trump usually speaks optimistically about how things are going and about the future, what would you guess he's most regretful about and would do differently if he could? That's a great question.

53:42he doesn't strike me as someone that has a lot of regret. I think when things don't go his way, whatever that might be, I think he just probably lets it go. But what would he do differently? I think it's possible that he would have come out even more guns blazing right when the administration started. Now they did, I'm gonna try to come up with a better answer than that while I'm talking this one out. Cause they did come out pretty quickly, right? There was all the doge stuff. They cut a lot of fraud. They did close the border immediately. They did get a certain amount of deportations going. I think maybe he would have gone even a little harder on the deportations, because if the Democrats win the midterms, it's basically over.

54:24I don't think he, he doesn't strike me as someone that has regrets. I think he, I think for, if you look at Donald Trump's business history over the years, you know, he had buildings and projects that were massively successful and other things that were huge failures or flops. He had the Taj Mahal in Jersey, Jersey City, Atlantic City, and that very famously flopped. But I'm guessing he doesn't regret any of that. He uses the losses against the gains, obviously, for tax purposes. He moves money around and then he does other projects. So he just doesn't strike me as someone that has regrets. Well, I don't know, let me think about that a little bit more.

54:59Everyone put on your thinking cap. What do you think he would have done differently in these two years? I don't know that there's much. Like even if your argument would be, well, the polling on the Iran war is not great. And it's pretty much 50-50. But even if your argument is that, I don't think he regrets it. I think he did what he thought is right. And he would say that repeatedly. Like, you know, it's sort of like, he says sometimes, like, I don't know if this is gonna work out with the polls or I don't know if they're gonna punish me or hate me for this or whatever. He does what he thinks is right.

55:28So people that generally, I try to live that way. I try to make business decisions that way. So generally, if you do it that way, you don't have regrets. Like, it doesn't mean it's all gonna work out, but then you just look back and you go, all right, now I just have to think about things maybe a little differently or adjust, but I don't regret it per se. Glenn says, how old were you when you first realized you wanted to be a famous standup comedian or other ways like what you're doing now? Well, I remember the first, well, first off, my friends were all funny. Like that was our language. We were just fun.

55:59We grew up in the eighties with ridiculous comedies. And I remember the first time I saw Airplane And I remember, I really remember the first time I saw Naked Gun, which I think is the best comedy movie ever. And as you know, I've interviewed and become friends with David Zucker, who's one of the co-creators and director, which has been one of the great joys of my life. And we've had many, many dinners where just literally we laugh for five straight hours, all the crazy references and silly stuff. I remember seeing Naked Gun in the theater in 1989. I think it came out of May. And I probably saw it that week at the Syosset triplex in Long Island.

56:33And I kid you not, a fat man sitting in front of me in the seat in front of me in the aisle fell out of his seat and started rolling down the alley. That's how people, you can't, we've really lost something with people not going back to movies anymore. You know, it's like, there used to be this like, what do you do on a Saturday night? You go to the movie and I miss that. But anyway, your point about stand up and, when I was in seventh grade, I know exactly when I got my first big laugh. I was in seventh grade, I was in a class called Mock Trial. and they had us take a test about legal stuff. And depending on what you scored on the test, you would get a role in a mock trial that we were gonna put on at the end of the semester.

57:17And this kid, Robbie, who was really smart, he got the best grade on the test, probably got 100. So he was the judge in the case. And the next, I think, six people that got the highest scores were all lawyers, and I was one of them. and it was a murder trial that we had to put on and I was in the prosecution for the murder trial and we put on this big trial in front of like, big auditorium, I don't know, two, 300 kids and everyone had to play a role. So some of the kids that didn't do very well on the test that let's say weren't the brightest, they were like bit people in the act, right? And I remember I was cross-examining somebody.

57:56It was, I remember this kid's name too, Derek, he was a nice kid. but he couldn't remember anything about what his character was supposed to know. And it was an important thing. Like he was next door where the murder took place, whatever. And I started, so I asked basic questions. Like I was like, whatever his name was, I was like, Mr. Phillips, could you please tell me your address? And he couldn't remember his address. And I was like, Mr. Phillips, can you please tell me your wife's name? And he couldn't remember that. And then I just kept asking him ludicrous questions and people started absolutely hysterical laughing.

58:25And I remember the feeling of just like, Like when you get a big laugh, it just freaking fills you up. And then I chased that feeling for many, many years. And I think the way I do this show now and the way I do gigs now, like when I do public gigs, my goal is not to just every five sentences get a laugh, but you're gonna get a lot of laughs throughout. And I just find that more enjoyable, rather than the pressure of just having to get a laugh every two seconds. It's like, yeah, I'll tell you a story, we'll laugh a little bit, we'll do something serious, we'll bounce back and forth. That's what I like doing when we do our live events, which many of you have been to.

59:02And people are always like, yeah, wow, I didn't expect to laugh that much. I'm like, that's pretty great. Olaf says, has the Lindsay Clancy case given you cause to reflect or reconsider your position on abortion? You know, I would say my position on abortion, when I wrote Don't Burn This Book, and I laid out like all my positions on absolutely everything, My position on abortion was kind of safe but rare. And like, let's say you really should leave it to the states, which ultimately did happen. I wrote that before the reversal of Roe v. Wade. But that 12 weeks seemed about right to me. I get it.

59:38Life starts at conception. I don't doubt that. Like the sperm eats the egg, that's the beginning of life. Now you have a couple of days where, you know, cells are multiplying and it's a zygote. And, you know, we can have all those debates and maybe his heartbeat, whatever, and you wanna leave some variants there for health issues or rape, we can do all that dance. I don't feel like having a whole thing on abortion right now. But I would say as I've gotten older, that 12 week thing has started to lessen and lessen and lessen. And by the way, when AI will change things and there's gonna be artificial wombs on the way that will ensure that the woman, if she has health problems, will not be risked by the pregnancy.

1:00:18There's so many things changing. And yes, to your point of the Lindsay Clancy trial, it doesn't surprise me that a bunch of women who have so fetishized abortion, yes, have eight month abortions, well, suddenly now the mother has postpartum depression and that should be an excuse for her to kill the kids. So, you know, look, I don't love abortion, but I'm also a realist in that if you outlawed abortion 100%, it does not stop abortion. It just makes it a lot more dangerous and a lot more women will die and there'll be all sorts of terrible things happening with hangers in back alleys. So I think a society wants to create, you wanna create rough guardrails that accommodate the most people and then hopefully people can make choices within their lives that are functional.

1:01:02But again, if you are absolutely 100 % against abortion, and I'm completely fine with that position, you know, try to donate some more money to some of these organizations that actually encourage women who are struggling, who are about to get an abortion. What are they called? pregnancy clinics. They're basically reverse, they're the reverse of an abortion clinic. Like they will take you in and help you through the process of those nine months and then with financial help and other after. So there are things that you can do to get involved. Beth says, Dave, the other day, Lori got a Dave scribble.

1:01:35That was actually my idea, but I don't have one yet. Why? All right, wait, who is this? Who is this? This is Beth. Beth, you want a Dave scribble? Well, here's Dave's, here's the scribble that's at the top of my sheet today. So what do I wrote here? I wrote Government Getting Involved, Data Dork. Can't read that. Love the Pup. I don't know what that is. Merger, some scribbling. And that was for Beth. Is that for Beth? Yeah, okay. So Beth, there you go. I will date it today. What's today? The 16th, we said? Yeah, 17th. Okay. 26. Signed. And it's getting out to you today. Joseph, put that in the Rubin Report outgoing envelope for mail.

1:02:15Erica America says, That's a good name. I know you do a lot of outdoor grilling when cooking on the stove top. What type of pan do you use? Stainless steel, ceramic, Teflon, cast iron, copper. Also, what about utensils, bamboo, plastic, stainless? You are definitely a chef and an entertainer. I love it. I had my guys go into the kitchen and take a picture of two of my favorite. Well, we did a little more here. So that cast iron, which is incredibly clean, we do not clean that thing with any soaps or anything else. You season it by putting olive oil on it and letting it burn real hot and then cleaning it out every now and again.

1:02:50I don't always do that. You don't have to clean them that often, actually. The cast iron is my main go-to. I just love it. You can do amazing things in the cast iron and it just will cook brilliantly. It takes heat in well and it distributes heat really well. The pan that you're seeing on the right is a hex clad pan, which is a nonstick pan, but it doesn't have, you know, there's all sorts of like chemicals and stuff that are in traditional Teflon pans that you don't want. and also you can see we've little on the left one, on the cast iron one, we have a griddle there so you can make things that you're gonna get your burn marks, you could put steaks on there or some other stuff and then we also have a couple smaller things so you can simmer sauces and things of that nature.

1:03:29We do have a nice collection of pans and we are cooking a lot. Your other question was about utensils. Utensils, no, we do, we're just doing regular, I think we got them probably when we got married and got regular utensils at Bed Bath & Beyond way back when. But we have black forks. It's a black set of forks and knives. But yeah. And we do have our own chopsticks, actually. We do have, they give you the wooden chopsticks. We do have our own. Arthur says, when are you going to get a Neo robot for the Rubin Report studio? I wanna see your next AI sitcom cold open as a buddy cop movie with you in this lifeless machine fighting crime, co-anchoring the show, and struggling to do simple household chores, is not auto, autonomously.

1:04:14Do we have video of the Neo robot? So here's the picture. So the Neo robot, you know, I mentioned yesterday, there's a couple of robots that are coming out over the next year or so. So Neo is the first one that's about to come out. And I think it's in the next couple months. And what are they charging for it? I think it's around 50 grand or something, or you can probably rent it for like a thousand bucks a month, something like that. And it'll do basic things like laundry and some simple house tasks. And if I'm not mistaken, they will be able to control it as well if you're having trouble with it, which again, you could do some dystopian versions there.

1:04:48How much? 20 ,000. 20 ,000 bucks. So that's not that expensive. So that's the Neo one. That's the first one coming out. Now, Optimus Robot through Elon, obviously, I mean, the second that thing goes for sale, I'm gonna get my name on the list. And then of course, Figure AI, they're the real Optimus competitors and they're doing some incredible things as well. But in some sense, I've read that they're actually leading optimist right now in terms of the technology and dexterity and some of the learning. So look, the robots are coming and I gladly, I love the idea of eventually having, like, wouldn't it be cool if I had a sidekick here who was a robot that I could ask all the AI questions to and everything else?

1:05:24Like it would be pretty fun. And there's all sorts of other reasons. Your robots will help you with the simple tasks, as I said, folding laundry, things like that, cleaning up for sure. where they'll be able to help you with landscaping, but they'll also be able to help you with security, walking the dog. Eventually, again, you will not need your car because robo-taxis, whether you have a robo-taxi yourself, and then anytime someone visits you, oh, robo-taxi, just go to the airport and pick them up or take me to the grocery or whatever, or you own a fleet yourself or you're just using them. Like, so much is changing.

1:06:00There's so many cool things happening. and I'm always looking at that frontier with a little bit of hesitancy because of my love of sci-fi and everything else. But yes, I am in on the robot thing for sure. James says, what is the one piece of technology you would trade for the 80s version? So this was actually a pretty simple question in a sense, but the boom box, do we have a picture? Like an 80s style boom box, those were so freaking cool back in the day. I remember my slim Casio boom box with the dual cassette players. And we would literally record songs. Like you kids can't imagine. A song would come on Z100 in New York and we would record it on one cassette and then you could send it to the other cassette and then you could give that to your friend.

1:06:48That's how you had to do it. You kids are swiping now or whatever you're doing. They were so cool. They were so awesome. I would love to get just a boombox back involved. Now it's like everything's on an app through Spotify and it runs in zones in my house. When I'm off the grid, it's like, if I wanna listen to music, I gotta touch this thing where I used to have a boombox like that. But I will tell you one piece of technology that I actually am going a little bit backwards is I've completely gotten off the AirPods, just like the wireless AirPods that go in your ears. There was something about them.

1:07:20I never felt they fit that well. I never thought the audio was that good. My guess is they're sending some weird stuff to your brain. So I'm back on just wired, just old-fashioned wired earbuds. And they're fine. I actually like them in a weird way. So there you go. Any other thoughts, fellas? Anyone? Carlos Jimenez is coming in. Oh, tomorrow, Carlos Jimenez. We don't normally do our Friday shows. We usually pre-tape them on Thursdays. But Carlos Jimenez, who is our local congressman right here, we're gonna talk to him, so I'm excited about that. and then all sorts of stuff. Hopefully the robots don't get you.

1:07:58Until then, I thank you for watching. We've got a post-game show, rubinreport.locals.com. Goodbye.
