Bill O'Reilly Goes Viral w/ His Dark Prediction for What Happens Next

23:35ICE wants to criminalize the fact of being an immigrant. They are illegals. They are criminals in that they came here illegally in the first place on top of the fact that then they commit crimes here. That every interview he does, he doesn't get called out on that. Is a, well, it's just obvious to what the mainstream media is. But they want to endlessly conflate so you will not even know what you're talking about. Oh my God, look what they're doing to immigrants. My grandmother was an immigrant. No, these are illegals. You know it. Here's one more from Tom Homan on Zorhan. Tom Homan, of course, will play Tom Homan in the movie about Tom Homan called The Tom Homan Story.

24:20Tom Homan:As far as McDermott, look, I'm an equal opportunity deporter. I don't care where you're from. I don't care what country you're from. If you got an order of removal issued by the immigration judge, you're going to go home. And yes, that's actually true. He is an equal opportunity deporter because over August, I think we covered this with Dr. Drew, Milo Yiannopoulos, who's a British provocateur who was here on some sort of visa and did not show up to one of the meetings that he was supposed to show up to for a visa renewal or whatever it is, he was deported. Now, interestingly, he's white and British and he was deported, but strangely, so obviously if he's white and British, they're not just going after black and brown people, which is what everyone on the left is telling us, but you would think that the, where are the Democrats defending Milo?

25:10Where are the Democrats going? Why aren't you, why they sent him back? I mean, he's gay, they sent a gay guy back to a Muslim country, right? Britain, I mean, that's tough. That's gotta be tough. Can he claim asylum for that? But they don't really care when people get deported. They don't like his politics. Now, of course, he should be deported. He missed his thing. Like, you gotta go. It doesn't matter because Holman actually is upholding the law, not upholding a political ideology. We have a lot of work to do to wake these people up. Let's talk about Chapter and then we'll get to more on the other side.

25:39Guys, Medicare can be confusing and a lot of people sign up for a plan and then never look at it again. But your health changes, your prescriptions change, your doctors change and your coverage should still fit your needs. That's where Chapter comes in. Chapter has independent, trusted Medicare advisors who compare every plan nationwide and advocate for you, not the insurance companies. They'll look at your doctors, your prescriptions, and what matters most to you, and then help you determine whether your current plan still makes sense. If you're already on the right plan, they'll tell you, and if not, they'll help you understand your options to make a change.

26:09The call is completely free, there's no pressure to sign up, and they can review your options in under 20 minutes. Historically, seniors who work with Chapter have saved an average of$1 ,100 a year. Don't leave something as important as your Medicare coverage on autopilot. Call chapter today at 332-867-0207. Again, that's 332-867-0207 to speak with a trusted advisor today. Let us continue with the Botoxed buffoon in New York, Mayor Kathy Hochul. Donald Trump went after her a couple of days ago. This on truth. Kathy Hochul considered the worst governor in the country in a recent picture working very hard to get the Arab vote, even though they can't stand her.

26:49Congestion pricing in Manhattan is hurting her with everybody, but especially the people for whom she wears the hijab. The whole thing is crazy, President Donald J. Trump. And there she is at a mosque. And it's so funny because of course she was a big leader in Me Too and My Body, My Choice. I don't think they would have let her in without wearing that headscarf over her head. She saw that post by Trump. You know, also women have to sit in the back in mosques and a series of other things. She saw that post by Trump and she wrote this. I was a guest in a Muslim house of worship and showed respect for the people who welcomed me.

27:23That used to be the standard in the country before you came along. I'll never apologize for treating people of any faith with dignity, no matter how Islamophobic you and your enablers are. All right, lady, well, here's what I wrote to that because the hypocrisy is just completely off the charts. Do they perform gay weddings at that mosque? Aren't you an ally to the LGBTQ LMNOP community? Why support such a place of bigotry, you Botox buffoon? I wanted to say the other B word, but I'm trying to be nice after I've just got off the grid. That's the point, guys. Let's put aside everything else with the invasion that we have going on and all of that stuff.

28:04This is a woman who is a proud supporter of the LGBT community and she goes out there in the parades and she's fought for gay marriage, which actually was equality, so that was just fine. but all the other stuff, right? And then she'll show up in her intersectional state of lunacy at a mosque where they will not perform gay marriages. So which is it? Pick one, lady. Pick one, Zorhan. Now, Zorhan, we know you're just using all the useful idiots. Hochul happens to be a useful idiot. But if you are a gay person and you support her, you are also a useful idiot. Would she show up at a church that was not for interracial marriage?

28:50Of course not. But what she's saying is gays, we don't really care about you. The Muslims are our new base. They will vote for us no matter what. So we're going for them. But logically, it makes no sense. Help me work through, like just help me work through logic. If you actually care about gay people, there are, as I always talk about, there's about 50 Muslim countries. Gays are not treated equally in any of them and are killed in many of them. And not one mosque in the United States performs gay marriages. I'm not for forcing those mosques to do it. But there are many churches that perform gay marriages.

29:24There are many synagogues that perform gay marriages. And it's up to them to do that or not. And that's just fine. But she will go to a mosque, put on their headscarf, act as a dhimmi, and then throw one of her key constituencies under the bus. But guess what, guys? this is all getting this to the end game of all of this, where we will realize that the intersectional monstrosity that they've tried to create really is just a straw man. I saw this story a couple of days ago or when I got back on the grid and I had to say to Joseph when he sent it to me, it was like, is this real? Because where is this?

29:59I'm not seeing this in anything on mainstream, but check this out. This is from I'm Meme, an ex-commentator. Three days ago, a gunman opened fire outside Venture N, a Tucson gay bar. Two men are dead. The shooter, dead. Police now call it a targeted hate crime. He had a list of LGBTQ businesses on him. You probably didn't even hear about it because the shooter wasn't the approved villain. He wasn't a white Christian nationalist. He was Osamon Sisei, 44, a Muslim immigrant born in Gambia. He confronted two men in the parking lot and started shooting. One of the victims was Cameron Davis Capra, a well-known local photographer and left-wing political activist who spent years documenting pro-Palestine marches, anti-ice actions, anti-Trump, anti-fascism rallies, and anti-capitalist No King circles.

30:48The other was Vincent Anthony Sequeiros. Both were killed where they stood. Police didn't rush out a mugshot package. Some coverage danced around the shooter's background. National cameras never really showed up. No wall-to-wall specials. No Democratic officials lining up the podiums to denounce homophobia and demand action. The story dropped fast, and that's the tell. When the facts don't fit the script, the outrage machine stays quiet. Two men get murdered outside a gay bar. The killer leaves a target list, and the same people who never miss a chance to lecture the country about hate suddenly have nothing to say.

31:22If that doesn't show you how selective the media and the virtue signal crowd really are, nothing will. So you get it, gays? They will throw you under the bus to protect, in this case, literally the Muslim jihadists. They don't want people to think that Islam does not like the gays. So they'll let a couple gay guys be killed outside of a gay bar in Tucson. And then I didn't see this anywhere on mainstream. Did you, person watching this on the other side of the screen right now, did you see this on CNN last night? Did you see it on MSNBC last night? Why did it just get buried? You know exactly why.

32:00And the crazy part is that one of the guys, The photographer, he was an anti-Trump guy. He was a pro-Palestine guy, but they don't care. In some sense, it's the same thing. If you think about October 7th, it's the same thing. When the Hamas guys came in, they didn't, oh, those are some Jews who are, you know, they're friendly to us, they work with us. Those are Jews who, they're okay, they live near Gaza because they want coexistence. No, they slaughter everybody. That's how it works. And they're out there across the country telling us this all the time. Here's an Islamic scholar in Chicago. His name is Muhammad Nusaret, and I don't think he likes this place very much.

32:37Unfortunately, these days, we don't repeat this enough, or we don't have this aqidah concept firm in our minds that Islam did not come to coexist. Islam is raised high, and nothing is raised above Islam. We can't think of Islam that came to live with these other religions in the sense that Islam is a religion amongst those religions and they have a share with the truth. And they have a share of justice. And they have a share of, you know, this worship of Allah, the correct worship of Allah. Islam came to correct all of that. Islam came to remove the oppression of all those religions. And it is the only truth.

33:24And it is the only way to justice. I want to present a question maybe. You can already figure out what I think of this guy. But question, in a sane society, or if this was a movie, and there was a guy in a movie who was telling you, I live in a place that I don't like very much, and I subscribe to a set of ideas that is gonna subjugate everybody else here, and my set of ideas will reign supreme, and my set of ideas is completely at odds with the foundational views of the place that I live in. What would happen in a movie? What would the good guy in the movie do? The good guy in the movie would kick that guy out of the country.

34:00Marco Rubio, if you're watching the Rubin Report today, find that guy. You should not be able to be in the country. We are going to have to denaturalize and deport people. I'll go on the assumption that that guy's an American. But you're gonna have to start denaturalizing people. How can you survive? It's as simple as that. How can a country over time survive? As a certain set of people say, we're here to destroy all your political institutions. We're here to usher in a religion that will supersede the laws of the land. We're gonna reproduce at way higher rates. We are gonna vote monolithic, monolithically, and we're here to take over.

34:39And they're being very open and honest about it. I guess if anything, you have to kind of credit them for it. Like they're doing it. And the point of all of this is that intersectionality, they've done it so effectively that you still, you still have Queers for Palestine. you still have all of these groups that think that somehow if we align with these people, they're gonna do something for us. And what they are doing is they are building their caliphate on your backs, you fools. So I wanna jump back all the way to 2014 because I was a lefty, you guys know, I was a Bernie supporter, all of the stuff.

35:15Hey, nobody's perfect, we've all lived many lives. And I was waking up to a lot of this because when I was at the Young Turks, that buffoon Cenk Uygur, the uncle of Hasan Piker, and Hasan was there too, there was this endless fetishization about Islam. And it seemed very odd to me because they were all progressives and you were supposed to be for women and you were supposed to be for gays. But they loved this religion that wanted to subjugate all those people and often beheaded people if they drew cartoons and things of that nature. And you may remember this. I remember watching this live on a Friday night in 2014 in our little shack of a place in West Hollywood.

35:54This was real time with Ben Affleck and Sam Harris and Bill Maher, and they got into it over Islamophobia. Are you the person who understands the officially codified doctrine of Islam? You're the interpreter of that, so you can say, well, this is... I'm actually well-educated on this topic. I'm asking you. So you're saying if I criticize, you're saying that Islamophobia is not a real thing, that if you're critical of something... Well, it's not a real thing when we do it. Right. Well, it really isn't. I'm not denying that certain people are bigoted against Muslims as people. Right. And that's a problem.

36:25That's big of you. But the... But why are you so hostile about this comment? It's gross. It's racist. It's not. But it's so not. It's like saying, So not your shifty Jew. You're not listening to what we are saying. You guys are saying, if you want to be liberals, believe in liberal principles. Right. Like freedom of speech. Like, you know, we are endowed by our forefathers with an inalienable life. All men are created equal. Ben, we have to be able to criticize bad ideas. Of course we do. No liberal doesn't want you to face as bad ideas. But Islam at this moment is the mother load of bad ideas.

36:53Jesus Christ. So we have it. We have. Okay. So I watched that live and it crystallized in my mind so much of what I had seen on the left. Ben Affleck was acting like all of the progressives act now. They're constantly outraged, right? They're calling everyone Islamophobic and bigot and racist and you get all of that stuff. And Bill particularly points out there, it's not racist when we do it in that. Do you think Bill Maher is racist? Do you think Sam Harris, I have differences certainly with Sam, do you think he's racist? You have to be, Islam is a set of ideas. And the places that Islam exists where it has power, again, there are 50 plus Muslim nations in any of those nations.

37:33Are there Christians that have massive rallies trying to convert Muslims? Zero, no, there are none. And yet we saw them in Australia and they're happening in the United States and Canada and the UK and France and everywhere else. So in the nations that Islam reigns supreme, everyone else is subjugated. In the nations where freedom, in the Western nations where freedom reigns supreme, Islam is allowed to spread and infect otherwise freedom-loving places. And the fact that he gets so upset about it, and the idea of Islamophobia, a phobia is an irrational fear. Is it irrational if you were gay or you were a woman?

38:16or you were a non-believer, or you were a Christian, or a Jew, or an atheist, is it irrational to fear a set of ideas that would have you killed? No, it would be the most rational thing. So actually, some of you probably remember this. I dedicated Don't Burn This Book. The actual dedication on the first page was to Ben Affleck for that very moment. His overly emotive, ridiculous behavior in that interview, that was the thing that woke me up. I wrote a bit about it. Let me just read one little paragraph for you. Looking back, I should probably thank Affleck for this. He inadvertently became the blunt instrument that hit sane people over the head.

38:53Yes, it was an alarm bell for me and unfair to Mauren Harris, but this eight minute clip was also a political awakening for millions of others. Once seen, it couldn't be unseen. And the way you can really, if you're a little confused about what's going on here, imagine if they had been talking about Christianity. Would Ben Affleck have ever gotten so up in arms about it? Of course he wouldn't. Of course he wouldn't. And that is the fundamental difference. You can live in a Christian nation, make fun of Christianity all day long. Recommend you turn on any episode of Family Guy and see what they do with Jesus or what they're doing in churches or anything else.

39:29You can make fun of it all day long. You can make fun of Judaism all day long. Have you ever seen Curb Your Enthusiasm or Seinfeld? You can do all those things and you should be allowed to do all those things. But one set of ideas, if you make fun of, you're basically going to be destroyed and or killed. Preferably, you get it. Anyway, one of the leading promulgators of this horrific ideology is my former boss, Cenk. And I'm not, you know, I kept saying to Phoenix now that I'm back, like, I don't wanna get involved in the he said, she said stuff and all the infighting and all of this stuff. But this is just great because he is a fat Islamist pig and his chair broke while live on Piers Morgan's show.

40:05I don't like people saying, I hate America and I deserve 9-11. We deserve 9-11. Yeah, your nephew said that on his street. We love America. He absolutely... We love America so much, we want to represent America instead of Israel. He put a picture of the Twin Towers being blown up behind him because he loves America. That's what he did. Well, okay, okay, let me stop you there. Let's be honest. Let me play... Give me a break. Let me play a little mashup of your nephew, Chay, Hassan Piker, and the controversial things he said about us. Here we go back to... Well, I'm just sorry. Well, I'm just sorry.

40:34Are we ever going to talk about Mike Rogers? Hang on. What the f*** is this? Oh, no, you know what?

40:40You gotta, man, the Mossad is good. They sent someone right in there to fiddle with his chair, those pesky Israelis when they fit, and they were like, what is he wearing? We're gonna have to jigger the chair and it'll break in the middle of the show. And yeah, we love America. We just showed you the video yesterday of Hassan, his nephew, again, who got the job at Young Turks only because he was his nephew and was horrible to women and a terrible basketball ball hog and everything else. We showed you the compilation of him talking about about how much he hates America. Everything that these guys do is a hatred of America.

41:10Everything that Bernie says is a hatred of America, that Abdul Al-Sayed says that Zahmdani and Zordani and Ding Dongy and Douchebaggy and all the rest of them. Everything that they say is a hatred of the country. We got two months to stop them. But at least if we don't stop them, you might have an animal. You might have a pet, a dog perhaps. And I want that dog to eat well, which is why I like Sundays for dogs. And guys, when I rescued Clyde from a shelter, how the hell was that on us? I mean, that was pretty professional. When I rescued Clyde from a shelter during COVID, just before he was scheduled to be put down, true story, I promised I'd give him the best life possible and that includes what goes into his bowl.

41:45Like a lot of people, I used to feed him regular kibble without thinking much about it. Then I looked at the ingredients and realized that I couldn't pronounce half of them. That's why I switched to Sundays for dogs. It's made with over 80 % all natural meat plus real super foods like kale, ginger, and blueberries. No fillers, chemicals, no mystery ingredients. And unlike fresh dog food, there's no refrigeration or prep, just scoop and serve. Clyde absolutely loves it. I just toss it out in the yard and I wouldn't even put it in a bowl. I just toss, for real. And I've noticed a healthier coat, better digestion.

42:12And he's always excited for mealtime. They even have a new raw, a new fish recipe made with 80 % whole and minced fish that's packed with omega-3s to support healthy skin, joints, and brain function. Make the switch to Sundays. Go right now to sundaysfordogs.com slash Reuben and get 50 % off your first order or use code Reuben at checkout. That's 50 % off your first order at sundaysfordogs.com slash Reuben or use code Reuben at checkout. And yeah, if you don't do that, you know, when you feed a dog, you just put the dog food in the bowl and they just, 30 seconds later, they've just eaten their food for the day, right?

42:42They have one in the morning usually and one at night. Someone showed me this years ago. Scoop it and just throw it out in the backyard into the grass, on the pavement, whatever it is. And it takes time. They have to think. Their digestion will be better. That's just a little hint from Dave. All right, guys, we're gonna spend the rest of the show doing a Locals Community Q &A. Joseph is at the computer with the internet right there. If you wanna get a question in live, You can go to rubinreport.locals.com. And here we go. Sarah says, welcome back. What do you look forward to when you come back from August?

43:11And what do you most dread? I think I would like to be able to text friends and family and I would hate having a phone to doom scroll on. I mean, what do I look forward to most? I mean, honestly, it's doing the show and being with my team. Like these guys are all my friends and we all hang out outside of the office. And I do love doing this for all the frustrating things with politics and dealing, and you know, I keep saying, I didn't think about any of these people. Like I didn't think of Hassan or Zorhan or any, like I didn't, but I do love doing this and I love interacting with you guys and all of that stuff.

43:44But really seeing my friends, the fact that Connor got engaged, Phoenix got engaged, like everyone's lives continued and, you know, that we come here every day and it's fun and we're laughing and all that stuff. That's what I miss the most. What did I dread the most? You know, I always have this weird, literally, I kid you not on August 31st, I have this weird 24 hours where, I think I said something like this to Drew, where I'm like, boy, can I do this anymore? Do I even know how to do it anymore? Am I doing something that is net good? Does any of this matter when I try to explain some of this stuff?

44:17Like, it seems like things just slowly keep getting worse. Like, you know, how can I be better about it? Like, do I want to just narrate the end of the world? Like, I get into like this weird existential crisis after having 30 great days. Like, I'm telling you, I had the best month of my life. It was fun. It was fulfilling on a personal level. So much time with the kids and family and friends. And, you know, as I said, we went to Greece and we traveled and it was just great. But yeah, the doom scrolling, I feel like, well, I said to Phoenix right before the show today, I feel like I don't have a great handle on everything just yet.

44:57Like I do think it's gonna take me probably another four or five days to fully get back into the fray. Like I'm looking at Twitter or X and it just all seems kind of particularly crazy. I'm seeing a lot of fighting still. Like I don't wanna be part of that and I wanna do something that's better and more elevated here. And I also, you know, I did notice because yesterday I was on my phone more than I had been for a month and I'm trying to control it. That I had like a little like kind of dull headache at the end of the night from looking at this thing. And yeah, the doom scrolling and all that.

45:25So each year I try to get a little bit better at it. Bill says, what was the most shocking thing to come back to, whether in the news, your personal life, or with the team? You know, news-wise, nothing blew me away. Nothing really blew me away. There wasn't anything. Yeah, I mean, there was just kind of the usual political stuff. You know, Dolly passed and, you know, a few other things. because there was nothing really shocking on that front. What was the second part of the question? It was all about shocking or was it also, or in my personal life or with the team? I mean, my personal life, there was nothing shocking to come back to, because I was more invested in my personal life than I get to be all the time.

46:03Like, truly the joy of the whole thing was just spending so much time with my kids. Like, just waking up every, I was able to wake up every morning with them, which I'm still, I'm doing this week too. And I'm gonna try to do for the near future. Like, they're usually up at 7 a.m. and I'm gonna just try to wake up with them and play through like that early morning time with them. And then as I mentioned to Drew, getting to go to my house that I grew up in, my parents bought in 1979 when I was three years old and to go into the basement where I used to play with, you know, G.I. Joe and Transformers and Star Wars when I was four years old.

46:39And then to have my kids playing literally with my toys in that room and playing with them was just, I can't even explain what that is. Like it's as affirming and validating about the circle of life as you can possibly get. It was just unbelievably awesome. Took him to my elementary school. It was just great. But I am happy to be back too. Bradford says, yeah, there was nothing dread. I wasn't dreading anything. I wasn't. It was just more like, how do I be better at what I can do? And I'm really, as I said the other day, I'm just open to your opinions on that. How do we do this better? There are a gajillion podcasters now, and every time you put water on one, they multiply into 20 others.

47:22And it's like, I wanna be better than that. It's as simple as that. Bradford says, just like Hillary, Tella Lyrio is leading far ahead in the polls versus Paxson. Can the polls be trusted for this anti-capitalist lying racist? So I asked the guys, I don't know what the numbers are, so we just checked. So right now, according to a new poll by the Texan, 44 % would vote for Tallarico and 43.6 % would vote for Paxton, 12.6 % undecided. I mean, again, I'm not sitting here telling you Paxton is the most dynamic candidate. He's a little boring, he's not that engaging. He's roughly sane, guys. And if you're in Texas, you gotta talk to your friends, go to Austin, which is the bluest blue part of town, and wake some of these people up.

48:09This guy will open the borders again. You heard the stuff earlier in the show about capitalism, like, don't let, I mean, Texas? Texas is gonna become purple? Like, is that really where we're at? But don't think it can happen. I know we all think of Texas as cowboys and oil and all of that stuff, but don't forget that a couple years back, I always forget the number, was it 2.6, Ted Cruz beat Beto O 'Rourke by I think only 2.6 points, okay, whatever it is. It was under three points, and Beto O 'Rourke was completely bananas lefty. Now, Tallarico's worse, but Ted Cruz was certainly better than Paxton.

48:47So that's where we're at. That is where we're at. Was I right 2.6? Yes, I was right 2.6. Hot damn. Dave says, welcome back. Love the recap. Really love the shoes. I'm a retro Reebok guy, but these look like a new replacement. Can you let me know who makes them? So first off, do we have a picture of my shoes that I wore? I rock the no socks thing, which I don't do on camera that often, but I do when I'm out and about here in Miami. you know, it's hot and whatever. So those are Olakai's, which are a Hawaiian brand. And I got those in August because in Greece, you know, the white shoe thing and wearing linen and clothes that are a little less fitting, a little bit bigger are nice.

49:25And then I liked them so much. I really did love them. And they're super comfortable that I've got them now in a couple of different, in a couple of different colors. And the cool thing about them is they're designed also for like, you know, for kind of beach and everything. So the back folds in. Can you believe that? It's like a transformer as a shoe. It's Optimus Shoe Bot. How about that? And they're just great. And they're really comfortable. They're a little bit wider also than kind of standard shoes. That is not product placement. I suppose it's product placement, but that is not a paid sponsorship or anything else.

49:59But they're really great. I dig them. And I kind of like showing a little ankle. You gotta give the people what they want on the computer there. Carol says, did you see the trailer for the new Harry Potter TV series? I did not. I assume that that dropped in August, but then the guy said to me, Dave, why don't you watch it live on the Rubin Report on today's show? Here we go.

50:25Before the start of Term Banquet, First years will partake in the sorting ceremony.

50:37Granger Hermione. Hi. Did you love the summer reading? There was summer reading. Weasley Ronald. Oi!

50:52Potter Harry. The house we're putting basically decides our entire future. So, no pressure. Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin. Gryffindor!

51:10Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts.

51:18Big T, lads! How are we feeling? Mr. Porter, I expect you to work hard. Find what sparks your interest. And make solid friendships.

51:39Everyone thinks I'm this great wizard. I give up. But I don't really know anything. Let's hope you show some talent with the Quidditch, bitch, Potter. You certainly not exhibited any in here

52:01Families more than just blood you'll find your place

52:11We found something incredible

52:18Tom Homan:I can't protect them. I can only prepare them. For what? Anything could be lurking behind any door in this place.

52:39Oh, come on. Don't you two read?

52:46Wait, I'm gonna ask a stupid question, but that feels like a prequel because they're all very young, but isn't that what happened in the first one, that they're going to the school for the first time and all that? Or were they... Those were movies? This is a television series. It's a TV series. Well, I understand. It's a TV series, but it takes... So it's the same... Oh, so they're just taking the movies and making them into a TV series. Yes. One season is each movie. Oh, one season is each... Well, that's... Okay, so, well, I should say, first off, I'm not a huge Harry Potter guy. You guys know in the world of fantasy and all that, I love robots and future stuff in space.

53:20That's generally my genre. I'm a little less with the little twig and the zingy-dingy, wingy-wangy. I move the stone. Look at me. But I get it. I get it. It's a cultural phenomenon. You know, I'm a little bit too old for it in some sense, but like also having kids, like we're going to, David loved all the movies and read all of the books two or three times. and he's really looking forward to when we can read the books to the kids. They're four now, so it's probably a little bit early for the first one is The Sorcerer's Stone, which I guess is what that series is based on. That's an interesting idea though.

53:51They're calling it The Sorcerer's Stone, which was the name of the first movie, right? Yeah, and book. Yeah, book and movie, right. So that's interesting to me and that to me seems like what Star Wars probably should have done where they've mucked up everything for 20 years. The idea that you could take the movies and then make them into series where you could make everything so much richer and still largely tell the same story is actually kind of cool. So I like the idea of what they're doing there, even if it's not exactly my thing, but I will let you know when we start reading them, reading those books to the kids.

54:25Right last night, we did Pete the Cat. This cat is cool. He is a cool cat, man. Kelly says, I'm terrified that the cost of gas is going to supersede everything else that is good, that everything else good that is happening in the world. What are your thoughts on that and how Trump could get out in front of the messaging so that people feel better about what is coming and not just focus on today? We're almost at$4 a gallon in Alabama and I know people are getting tired of it. My groceries don't seem to be affected. I believe he has to finish off the Iranian regime. Yeah, well look, at the end of the day, people generally vote with their pocketbook.

55:02So if they sort of feel good about the economy, they're gonna not feel the need to maybe punish who's in power that much. In terms of gas prices, they are a bit high. Everything that I've seen over the last month or so that I just got caught up on on the war in Iran is kind of a stalemate. Now Trump's joking that maybe it'll be the trade of Trump instead of the trade of Hormuz. There was a video of Scott Besson yesterday, again, talking about how we've decimated so much of their military and everything else, but gas prices do seem to be too high. I'm gonna guess, my guess would be that Trump will have some tricks in his pocket to get a little liquidity in the economy going and get some prices down before the midterms.

55:42Like, because you're right, the average person, you might just be a Trump person and you're like, you know, prices are, I'm just not even gonna vote. And again, that gets to the apathy thing that I mentioned earlier. But I would say even if gas prices are high and Trump can't do anything about it, or even if he doesn't do whatever he can do about it, just know what we are up against. And if you think that the Democrats, I know you don't, But if someone out there thinks that if the Democrats taking power, that's gonna make gas prices go down, or it's gonna make the world safer, or it's gonna be better for America, or it's going to wreck all of those things.

56:17So again, that's why I'm saying we gotta get a little crazy. Like we got, they're really good at scaring people all the time. Maybe we have to scare people a little bit. It's not generally like the arrow that I'm going to, but maybe we do have to go there. All right, one more for you. Nimbus says, what part of the person you were during those 30 days off the grid? Do you wanna protect now that you're back and make sure the internet politics and this job don't take away from you again? That is a good one, Nimbus.

56:47You know, I was as present as I could possibly be all the time. I'm not saying I was present every second of every moment of the day, but I wasn't distracted with things. I did not, in the quiet moments, I did not have this thing to stare at. That breeds a certain calmness. Like I would look at my order ring at night and my stress levels, and I'm not very stressed in general, but my stress levels were really, really down. It was constantly telling me I was in like that relaxed zone. You know, the interactions that I had with people, like all of them, and I'm not just talking about family and friends and everything else, like anyone, whether it was a waiter or someone coming up to me at the airport or whatever it was.

57:33Like I was very, very present in all of those conversations and all of those moments. And I think we need more of that. We're all kind of sidetracked with whatever is going on in the world and it stops your ability to just be here and in the now. And I'm as guilty of that as everybody, as anyone else. So I think that's what it is more than else. And also I think one thing that I've thought a lot about and I was really, when I was sitting on the beach going through things, is that I would tell you guys, I am worried about the state of the world. I don't worry about small things in life. Like whatever's going on in my house or businesses, like there are ups and downs and things happen here and there.

58:15And I just don't worry about those things. Like you have to solve problems every now and again. Like sometimes you have to literally solve a problem. Your water heater blew up, which happened to us. Like there are things that happen. You might have an interpersonal problem at work or you got a family problem or someone you know passed away or whatever it might be. But I'm usually not worried about just sort of day-to-day things, not to diminish them. I'm usually worried about just like the state of human civilization. Like that's actually what I worry about. And one of the things that I was trying to work through a lot was how can I, there's a limit to what I can do about it, right?

58:50Like I think we can affect things in a certain way. It's why I do this. If I didn't think that we could affect things, I just would not do this anymore. I would find something else to do. But I wanna worry about it a little bit less. So that's something that I'm gonna continue to work on and think about. And I'm open to all sorts of suggestions on that, as I'm on that path. I thank you guys for watching. We got a post game show in moments, rubenreport.locals.com. And then I got actual friends later and a whole bunch of other stuff. It's good to be back though. Thank you guys. See you tomorrow.
