In short
Dave Rubin discusses a looming Iran-related deadline tied to Trump’s 8 p.m. Eastern ultimatum, interpreting Iran’s reported 10-point response to a 15-point U.S. peace plan, possible escalation (including speculation about nuclear action), and broader claims about U.S. negotiation strategy and media coverage. He also covers a U.S. pilot rescue story from Iran (God is good), Artemis II passing the far side of the moon, and New York City tax policy rhetoric.
Guests
Bill O’Reilly (interview segment referenced; previously on NewsNation with Leland Vitter). No other guests are clearly identified as appearing in this episode.
Guest backgrounds
O’Reilly is a former Fox News host/commentator known for political commentary.
Key claims
Rubin argues Trump’s “crazy” negotiation style is deliberate (citing The Art of the Deal), claims Iran has “decapitated” leadership and is negotiating via regime representatives, and suggests the U.S. may use “tools” if Iran won’t stop “economic terrorism.” He highlights O’Reilly’s view that bombing could separate regime from people and potentially enable an uprising, while noting uncertainty about cause-and-effect.
Notable examples
Iran’s alleged Hormuz fee proposal (2 million per ship, split with Oman); O’Reilly comparing potential outcomes to WWII bombing (Hiroshima/Nagasaki/Dresden); the rescued pilot exfiltration details (encrypted radio/beacon, mountain crevice, MH-60 Little Bird).

You know, sometimes it looks great, but then you cook it and it just doesn't have that flavor or freshness you expect. So finding something reliable has made a huge difference. Wild Alaskan Company really changed that for me. It's the best way to receive high-quality, wild-caught seafood delivered right to your door on your schedule. The first box I got was super easy to use. Everything comes individually portioned and vacuum sealed, so there's no guesswork. I cooked that wild Alaskan sockeye salmon just in a pan with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and it turned out fantastic.
0:34Clean flavor, great texture, and didn't feel like frozen fish at all. I've also tried the wild Pacific cod, which I love. It's light and flaky and really easy to work in when you need a quick dinner. What stood out is that the fish is quick frozen right after it's caught in Alaska, so it locks in that freshness along with the nutrients like omega-3s, and it's clean. no GMOs, no antibiotics, no additives, and it supports sustainable fishing and Alaskan fishermen. They're so confident in the quality that there's 100 % satisfaction, money-back guarantee, so there's no risk in trying it. Go to wildalaskan.com slash Rubin for$35 off your first order of premium wild-caught seafood.
1:09That's wildalaskan.com slash Rubin for$35 off your first order. Hey, Chicagoland, the Wayfair store is in your neighborhood at Edens Plaza in Wilmette.

1:45Can you provide a definition for the word woman? I can't. Boys have b****, girls have b****. Somebody beat that guy who he's running against. I'm gonna guess it's someone who's only speaking in Afghani. Ten steps to authoritarianism. He was the number one person at Golden Trial Buffet.
2:26All right, everybody, I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin Report. It is April 7th, 2026. And if everything goes according to plan, something's gonna happen today, one way or another. We'll find out. I assume you've liked, commented, and subscribed on all our channels. I appreciate that. And I do want to clarify and clean up one internet conspiracy theory that burst forth yesterday. I mentioned that on this Thursday at five o 'clock, because it's five o 'clock somewhere, including literally right here, we will be doing our next tequila Thursdays, and I will be drinking from a beautiful bottle of Copal, which as you know, every single label, every bottle has different artwork on the label.
3:09Best reposado you've ever had, drinkcopal.com. And if you wanna join me, you can get it shipped out today. It'll be tough to get to you on Thursday. A lot of you have it already, but we'll do it again next Thursday, et cetera, et cetera. But anyway, I did the promo yesterday and the audio cut out apparently. I did not know that during the program. And then the comments were rolling in, conspiracy after conspiracy. YouTube doesn't want him talking about tequila. Big tequila's going after him, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It turns out that there was a button, some sort of button. I never know exactly what Connor's doing during the show.
3:39There was a button error. Fair enough, that would be the best way to say it. So it was not a conspiracy, nobody came for us. It wasn't the algorithm tricking us or anything else. But anyway, if you wanna join us on Thursday, drinkcopal.com to get your bottle and we'll do a little happy hour. And I should note that, you know what, we're gonna obviously get into the Iran thing now. At eight o 'clock tonight, this is Trump's deadline. If a nuke is dropped, I guess we'll do a tequila night tonight. I have a dinner, so I'd have to be, I'd probably be a little bit late. So maybe around nine o 'clock, we'll roll into something.
4:09We'll see what happens. So, okay, let's dive in. Obviously, today is a very big and important day as it relates to this 30 plus day war in Iran. So let's just get you caught up on where we're at. On Easter Sunday, Donald Trump put up this tweet, Tuesday, 8 p.m. Eastern time. That's all it said. Okay, started making people think. Well, then Iran came back. We know that we've been negotiating with them. It's been a little unclear to us, the regular generic populace, who exactly we're negotiating with. because obviously Ayatollah is gone, second Ayatollah is likely in a coma, he's out. Whether it's third tier, fourth tier, guys, we just don't know exactly.
4:53But we are negotiating with someone representing the regime. Trump made some demands and then Iran came back, but it didn't really come back with anything that Trump wants to work with. This is from the Quesi letter on X, breaking, Iran has delivered its highly anticipated 10 point response to the US 15 point peace plan. So we had 15 points that we wanted to hit. They came back with 10. So already, you know, Trump's not gonna be happy with this. But anyway, here is what they asked for in response to Trump. Number one, guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again. Two, permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire.
5:31Three, end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon. Four, lifting of all US sanctions on Iran. Five, end to all regional fighting against Iranian allies. Six, in return, Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz. Iran would impose a Hormuz fee of two million per ship. Iran would split these fees with Oman. Iran to provide rules for safe passage through Hormuz. 10, Iran to use Hormuz fees for reconstruction instead of reparations. President Trump's deadline is now 25 hours away. Obviously that was yesterday and now we are basically half a day away. We'll find out tonight at 8 p.m. Anyway, Trump got that proposal back or the response to the proposal and here's what he said.
6:12What do you think of the leaks as the proposal? They've made a proposal, and it's a significant proposal. It's a significant step. It's not good enough, but it's a very significant step.
6:25They have made, they're negotiating now, and they've made a very significant step. We'll see what happens. Connor, can we real quick grab the cover of Art of the Deal? Because people really need to understand, so many people seem to be being punked by Trump right now or not understand how he negotiates or anything else. As I referenced yesterday, in Art of the Deal, one of the things that he says in how you negotiate is sometimes you have to act a little bit crazy, right? You don't want the people you're sitting across the table from to be able to basically look at you and know exactly what you think and what your plans are and everything else.
7:01There has to be a bit of an element of surprise. This is Donald Trump's, as it says, number one international bestseller, Trump, the art of the deal, right? So you would think that more people, even people on, you know, quote unquote, our side of this would understand a bit more when Trump says crazy things that it's all part of the process, right? So Trump, this morning on Truth Social, a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have complete and total regime change where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen.
7:43Who knows? We will find out tonight one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the world. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death will finally end. God bless the people of Iran." Okay, so this is quite a statement to say the least. Now, I wanna focus on one word because I've seen an awful lot of people get hung up on one word. Can we put the image up again for just a second? The word of course is civilization, right? A whole civilization will die tonight. And I see a lot of people, of course, look, all the Democrats and the Trump deranged people, no matter what Trump says, they're gonna be deranged, baked in.
8:20I'm seeing even some people on our side. Well, what do you mean civilization? Are you just gonna murder the 90 plus million people in Iran? Obviously we are not going to do that. Might you argue at this point, 10 years after mean tweets and everything else that maybe the word civilization wasn't great and he should have said regime there or something else, government, something, maybe. But I'm just so past that point. And I think you should be too if you wanna see what's actually happening here clearly. So I don't know what's going to happen at 8 p.m. tonight. It sounds like the response to our 15-point proposal is not good enough.
9:00and unless they do something over the next 10 or so hours, we're gonna do something crazy. Now, will that crazy thing be to kill as many Iranian people as possible? Does that sound right to you? I don't think so. I don't think so, but I don't know exactly what's going on in Trump's mind. I don't know what's going on in Hegseth's mind or any of the advisors or anything else, but what I do know is Trump has a heck of a way of negotiating in rather strange ways. rather strange ways, they're kind of obvious ways in a weird way. So here is Trump talking about how they have till 8 p.m. and if they don't get on board, he'll do what everyone else said they would do, but actually wouldn't.
9:44Essentially they have till eight o 'clock tomorrow night, Eastern time, but we are dealing with them. I think it's going well. Mr. Whitcoff is here and JD's involved in the dealing. Mr. Whitcoff is sitting right here and I think it's going fine, But we'll have to see you have to understand we've been dealing with these people for 47 years I'm standing here with a much more powerful Iran As of a month ago not anymore right now. They are decapitated But i'm standing here a month ago with a much more powerful iran than it was at any point during 47 years This should have been handled by Seven presidents a lot of presidents That's an interesting point that he's making, that Iran, if you just, you have to remove the last month where they're decapitated, no air force, no Navy, regime destroyed, Mullah's gone, blah, blah, blah.
10:38If you remove the last month, they were more powerful. They had more ballistic missiles, which is why they've been shooting them at 13 or so countries. They had more drones. They had more Chinese anti-aircraft stuff and all the rest of it, and were on their way to making a nuke. We know this. They admitted it. They admitted it in the negotiations that took place a week before this whole war began, right? That's undisputed. Nobody's arguing about that, I don't think. Any sensible person is not arguing about that. So what Trump is saying is, and again, it's consistent with everything. We've shown you all the videos of Trump of the 80s.
11:11We will deal with this, as opposed to other regimes, as opposed to other, not regimes, as opposed to other American administrations, say like the Obama administration, which gave the Iranian regime billions of dollars for guarantees. Don't be mean. here's some cash, right? Or what did Biden and Kamala do? Don't, don't. And if they do, well, what are we gonna do? They know we're gonna do nothing. Now, interestingly, you know, there's been a lot of people that have been trying to drive a wedge. I would say Tucker's at the top of this, but a lot of people have been trying to drive a wedge between Trump and Vance.
11:43And I just don't see that wedge really occurring. What I always tell you is, you see Trump doing the bumper sticker stuff and then JD comes in and kind of does a little bit more of the nuanced policy. So JD actually right now, he is in Hungary. You know, Hungary, we were there two weeks ago, is in the midst of their own massive election, which I think takes place, it's this week, I think, right? Yeah, the election is this week and we will see what happens. And if you're a freedom loving person who's into sovereign nations, you better hope that Viktor Orban wins. But that aside, he's there making the American case for why a strong Hungary is important.
12:16He was asked about his position on where we are at with Iran. Take a look. I hope they make the right response. Because what we really want is we want a world where oil and gas is flowing freely, where people can afford to heat their homes and cool their homes, where people can afford to transport themselves to work. That's not going to happen if the Iranians are engaged in acts of economic terrorism. So they've got to know we've got tools in our toolkit that we so far haven't decided to use. The president of the United States can decide to use them, and he will decide to use them if the Iranians don't change their force of conduct.
12:51Okay, so I think that's just kind of a perfect example of what I tell you about JD, right? Like he has just like a calm way of explaining maybe in a little more granular kind of diplomatic way the things that Trump is laying out. You're not gonna do any more economic terrorism. You're not gonna threaten your neighbors anymore. We need these waterways open. He didn't really say it there, but I think as I've been saying from the beginning of this thing, a lot of this has to do with the amount of oil that Iran is exporting to China and we're trying to turn the screws on China a little bit. By the way, what we may find out months and months from now is that a lot of this had to do with showing China, boy, look what we just did to Iran.
13:28You may not wanna make a move on Taiwan, but let's leave that there. We're getting breaking news that I think this just happened just 10 seconds before we started the show. This is from the Global Times. Iran has closed all diplomatic and indirect channels of communication with the United States. Okay, so if that is the case, we are taping this. We are live streaming right now at 11, 12 p.m. Eastern time. The deadline is 8 p.m. If all channels are closed, then Donald Trump and the cabinet and Marco and everybody, there is a plan, there is a plan. And we will see what Donald Trump means. And what I would say is, although I don't know exactly what he's going to do any more than you do, I think you have to have faith in what he has done here.
14:14We are removing a cancerous tumor that has been the world's chief exporter of terrorism, that has threatened all of their neighbors, that is threatening the international energy system. And Trump has basically had it. Now, it's interesting, when I say he's basically had it, there was, he did this press conference yesterday at the White House, and there was a slight shift in tone with him. You know, he's been so, I think he's been kind of really enjoying everything lately and everything else. But if you watch this shift here, I think you can see he's kind of just had it with the media in that during wartime, it's one thing when he's fighting with them all the time, but we're in the midst of this war and they simply can't control themselves.
14:54And here he is on his critics. When was the last time you felt in control of your business finances? Expenses tracked, invoices sent, taxes ready. That's where Found comes in.

15:26The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night. Yesterday in your Truth Social, you called the Iranians crazy bastards. True. What is your response to critics who say that it is... I don't care about critics. What is your response to critics who say that it is your mental health that should perhaps be examined as this war continues. I haven't heard that. But if that's the case, you're going to have to have more people like me because our country was being ripped off on trade, on everything, for many years until I came along. So if that's the case, you're going to have to have more people.
15:59You know, he's right. He's just right. We were being ripped off on trade. We were being ripped off on defense. We weren't protecting our borders. We were doing more for other countries than we were doing for ourselves. And if that makes Donald Trump crazy, then what did he say? You're gonna need more people like me, yeah. And if they took out Donald Trump via the 25th Amendment, which obviously isn't gonna happen, or some kind of impeachment or whatever else, or if Rashida Tlaib pushes him down the stairs, we will all regret not having supported him more as we are in this quite literally, I would say, civilizational war.
16:34The West is trying to decide if it will continue. In Western Europe particularly, they've given up, right? The Islamists have taken over, they will not fight for their country, their armies are useless, NATO is useless and everything else. Trump has decided that there are a couple countries that he likes who will fight for the West and who will fight for sovereign nations. Among them are Israel and Hungary and now Argentina and there are others. He likes Japan obviously, the list goes on and on. But he's trying to reorder the world and of course they're trying to, you know, handicap him the entire time.
17:07I thought this was interesting. Someone asked him if if God supports the U.S. actions right now. Thank you very much. You've said glory be to God in this conflict. Do you believe that God supports the United States actions? I do it because God is good because God is good and God wants to see people taking care of. God doesn't like what's happening. I don't like what's happening. Everyone says I enjoy it. I don't enjoy this. I don't enjoy it. These two guys don't enjoy it. You know, people say, oh boy, they're so tough. They don't want, they don't like, I don't like seeing people killed. I've ended eight wars.
17:45Nobody's ever done it. You know, again, guys, I believe that. I don't enjoy it. I think that's why he's a little chippy with the media right now. There's always a chippiness. There's always a little edge there, obviously, and he likes playing with them and mocking them and everything else. But I don't think he enjoys having to bludgeon a regime into joining the Western world, becoming part of civilized society. He likes wrapping up wars. That is what he ran on more than anything else. Now, for all the people that are saying, oh my God, this is another forever war. Well, we will see what happens at 8 p.m.
18:21tonight. But again, this is where I just think the guy deserves a little bit of leeway. Like he has been so right about so many things for so long. At the last hour, are we all gonna be like, Like, my God, he sent out one thing that I didn't like, abandon him. It just seems crazy to me. Here is Pete Hegseth, who, as I said during his confirmation, man, this guy was gonna be an all-star because not only did he have the pedigree, but he knew how to deal with the media and communicate effectively, and watch this. And then Iran has a choice. Choose wisely, because this president does not play around.
18:58You can ask Soleimani, you can ask Maduro, You can ask Khomeini. Yeah, so not only does he not mess around, there's a track record. Ask those guys how it worked out. And now there is an ultimatum. Now, we just got that breaking news that all channels of communication have ended. So I don't know what the Iranian regime wants. Like what, I don't know. Like what is it that they're sitting around going, all right, we've lost this thing. We have no military. We're losing control of our people. Our country is largely in ruins. Trump's given us one last chance and we're not gonna take it. I mean, maybe that is at the end what an apocalyptic regime does, whatever vestiges of it remain.
19:41Maybe they go, well, we had a hell of a run, bomb the crap out of us and we'll leave it to Allah. I don't know, maybe that literally is where they are at. Their strikes continue. This is from last night. This is some seriously heavy attacks at one of Tehran's. It's the Meribod airport, take a look.
20:14And again, there's a gajillion of these videos. You've seen them all, so we can cut that a little bit early. But the point here is if Iran, whoever the leadership is, if they want this to end, if they wanna join the, you know, quote, League of Nations, and all of those Gulf and Arab states who are in the United States, are now moving towards America, as opposed to towards Russia and China, you could do that, but it sounds like if you've cut off all communication, they've made their choice. Now this I thought was really interesting. This is from ChiefNerd on X. One of America's doomsday planes was spotted circling above a key Nebraska Air Force Base on Monday, just hours before President Trump's deadline for Iran to accept his peace deal is set to expire.
20:55The Boeing E-4B night watch, which was designed to protect national security officials and keep the government operating in a time of nuclear war was spotted by flight trackers above the Offit Air Force Base, home to the headquarters of the US Strategic Command. The jet had taken off from Offit at 10.17 a.m. Eastern, circling around the area at least six times before landing back at the base. That's from the New York Post. So, I don't know, sounds like something. Sounds like, you know, is that part of the show? Is Trump saying, okay, well, we'll put this thing out there and that'll get them worried too because they're gonna think we're gonna drop a nuke.
21:30And I don't know. I don't know any more than you do. And anyone that you are watching today, and I mean this, I mean everything I say on the show, but I really, really mean this. Anyone you are watching today that is pretending they know what Trump is about to do and what's gonna happen at 8 p.m. is an absolute liar and propagandist and fraud. And I simply will not do that. I'm playing along with this, with the information we've got, just as you are. And we're trying to figure it out together. That's what's going on here. Now, to that point, here's an image of Trump's schedule today. It's a hell of a day.
22:02At 9 a.m., pool call time. At 8 a.m., wait, at 8 a.m.? Why is the 9 a.m. before the 8 a.m.? Well, in any event, at 8 a.m., the president participates in executive time at the White House, that's closed to the press. 4 p.m., policy meeting at the Oval Office, closed press. That seems like it'll be a big one. 7 p.m., president participates in a dinner with the U.S. ambassador to the Republic of India at the White House, closed press. Now, that's gonna be a hell of a, like that's gonna be a meeting right there. Like the Indian guy walks in like, you know, where's my butter chicken? And Trump's going, listen, dude, I've got bigger problems at the moment.
22:36That would be, I would love to be in that meeting. Anyway, as per what is happening right now, you know, I've been telling you over the last couple of weeks, one of the guys that I've really enjoyed listening to is Bill O 'Reilly. And actually I'm gonna interview Bill O 'Reilly today at 4 p.m. and we will get some of it at least up by five or six so it happens before the 8 p.m. deadline so we can talk about this a bit further. But anyway, Bill O 'Reilly was on with my friend Leland Vitter on News Nation talking about what might be happening at the moment. Take a look. The more we can separate the regime being punished from the people, the better the chance there is for an uprising.
23:12Why isn't President Trump doing that? Because he doesn't know what the cause and effect is going to be. so if you bomb the country back to the stone age then the country may say we got to do something with these mullahs it's very very possible i mean general grant waged this kind of warfare in a civil war we dropped the bombs on hiroshima nagasaki and firebomb dresden none of those people none of them, all right, rose up against the United States. They all capitulated. Right. Right. So that's an interesting point. And I'll discuss that further. Look, my gut feeling, is Trump going to nuke Tehran tonight?
24:00My gut feeling is no. Is it out of the question that Trump could maybe drop a nuke somewhere where there's not a lot of civilians in Iran to be like, guys, I told you 8 p.m., this is it. Like final, final, final. Maybe, maybe that is possible. But what I like about O 'Reilly is he's trying to do what I'm trying to do constantly, which is he's admitting, we don't know, even Trump doesn't know the cause and effect of everything, right? If we go up, go there and we blow up all these bridges and we blow up power plants and everything else, is it possible that the people will then rise up against whatever remaining vestiges of the regime there are and take over.

24:40His point is when we did this in World War II, that people didn't turn against the United States, right? So, but again, we don't know exactly what will happen. We shall see. As I said, I have a dinner at 8 p.m. I can't move it. Somebody from out of town, it's very important. But if all hell breaks loose, Connor, will you come back here and we'll do a little something around nine o 'clock? Okay, sounds good.

So I mentioned the question that Trump was asked at the press conference yesterday where people were saying he's invoking God and his answer was God is good, which I thought, you know, the day after Easter has a little extra meaning. And the fact that the Easter event at the White House was in some sense sideswiped by all of this Iran stuff and Trump's given a speech about Iran quite literally.
26:30Can we grab that picture? It's kind of funny if you haven't seen it. He's given a speech at the White House during the Easter egg hunt, talking about Iran and 8 p.m. and a deadline and massive war and bombs. And the Easter Bunny literally is right next to him. And then of course the entire internet was like, oh my God, is that Marco Rubio inside the Easter Bunny? We'll get to that in just a second. But before that, here is CNN with some rather less than stellar analysis on how Trump invoked God, because no other politicians ever done that. Allow Scott Jennings to fix it for you.
27:07The president is using God as a way to justify his war, which I think goes against what you're saying. I don't think he's justifying it. No, he's literally, I mean, look at his words. I think he was asked about it. I'm not going to comment on every single thing that Trump says. I mean, I think that tweet is pretty indefensible. That's why you can't defend it. I'm not sure what was happening with that tweet. Have American presidents and American military leaders not invoked God in numerous communications for 250 years in this country, beginning with George Washington all the way to right now? I mean, it's pretty common language for commanders in chief in the military.
27:39I think saying God approves of this war, summarizing, is not what the Bible teaches. Our leaders have repeatedly prayed to God for success in battle, have repeatedly prayed to God to guide American troops into battle. I think that's great. What does this guy know? What does this lady know about what the Bible teaches? Of course, Scott is right. Virtually every war and every message that our military leaders give to our troop in some way, one way or another invokes God or invokes some sort of biblical story or timeless tale. And that's all that is happening here. And also try to think about it.
28:11If we just removed God or belief or whatever you want to call all that, if you just removed all of that, So what should we just be, like, what will it be replaced with, right? Like, this is Nietzsche, right? Like, there's a God-shaped hole, and so should we just pray during wartime to nothing? Is that what you're saying? Anyway, here's a bit more, because Scott, he just bounces. The guy just bounces around. They just say, Scott, could you go in the elevator, go on the other floor, beat up this guy, now can you go down to level three and smack this girl around, could you do that? And here's just some Maryland, like, loser representative.
28:47This guy, I never heard of this guy before, I'll probably never hear him again. Johnny Olsueski, just completely lying about Trump's record. And Scott's just like, I got lunch, man. I'll give the president credit. He's already made everybody mad about taking away health care and food supports and raising taxes on hardworking, lower-income families and working families and giving that money to the ultra-wealthy. But now he's doing it. What taxes did he raise? Now he's doing it also. What are you talking about? Look at the gas prices. Look at the Amazon. I know you voted against the tax cuts last summer.
29:17I know you're familiar with tax increases. I would say take a look at the totality of... I mean, the guy literally just made it up. Taking away health care. Who doesn't have health care right now that had health care before Trump? Trump is trying to reform the health care system. That is true. And the Democrats, their bumper sticker to answer everything is Medicare for all, which it doesn't mean anyone's getting good coverage. It just makes them feel good that they said it. And then, as Scott points out, who's he raised taxes on? What middle or lower class person has had their taxes raised? Nobody.
29:46and the guy had no, absolutely no answer to that. Now, interestingly, this is very interesting. You know this guy, Harry Anton, this little dorky guy with the numbers, and he's got the TV over there on CNN, but he does present some interesting numbers that I think most people don't realize, and this is why, for the last few months, when there's been this infighting on the right, I'm trying to be above it, and I'm trying to bring people together to the best of my ability. I'm sure I fall short at that at times, because actually, the left has gone so bananas, The Democrats are so out of control that there is reason to believe the Republicans will be OK during the midterms.
30:22And we need to keep showing that to people. Look at these numbers. I mean, this is not what CNN wants to be showing people. So let's take a look at this net favorability party ahead at this point. Midterm of years with the GOP president in 2018, Dems were up by 12 in 2006 on net favorability. Which party like more Dems were ahead by 18. Republicans are actually ahead on net favorability at this point by five points. And so Democrats are just simply put running behind their previous benchmarks and they need to be running well ahead of them if they want to take back the United States Senate. You got that.
30:52So in 2006, when George W. Bush was president, the Democrats had a huge lead then. Right. Because he's the Republican president, Democrats midterms. Then the exact same thing is happening basically or happened basically when Trump was president. 45 the first time around, Democrats had a huge lead, but something different is happening this time. So there's probably a confluence of a few things. The Democrats have gone completely insane. Most people realize that. Most people are not sort of the online podcast to stand lunatics and are trying to fight with everybody. Most people generally think America is good and that the Republicans are significantly better on the important issues than the Democrats.
31:34So let's have a little faith right now. Let's have a little faith, hopefully, that 8 p.m. comes and goes tonight and whatever the result of that is, gets us to a conclusion to this war in a more peaceful world. Let's see as these trade deals keep coming, America's 250, everything else. But of course, Trump is just still, despite the numbers being in his favor, despite America exerting its influence again and everything else, the mainstream media just still, time and time again, they just wanna handicap him no matter what they can do. Here's a New York Times reporter going after him. Question. Deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure violate the Geneva Conventions and international law.
32:14Who are you with? I'm with the New York Times. Zolan from the New York Times. Are you concerned? Failing. Are you concerned? Is your circulation way down at the New York Times? What's going on with it? Are you concerned that your threat to bomb power plants and bridges amount to one time stage? No, no, no. I hope I don't have to do it. I can tell your friends at the New York Times, not going to happen.
32:35It means violating international law. Quiet, quiet, quiet. You no longer have credibility to the New York Times because the New York Times said, oh, Trump won't win the election. And I won in a landslide. I won every swing state. New York Times said, oh, Trump won't win the election. New York Times has no credibility. Yeah, I mean, look, first off, the New York Times, which has lied about everything forever and anonymous sources and hiding Biden laptop story and Russia, Russia, Russia, and lying about COVID. And we could do this all day long. That's one version, right? that the New York Times lies, but also then the reporter yelling, but international law, which at the end of the day doesn't mean anything.
33:10It just doesn't mean anything. You can say it violated international law. We are governed by the laws of the United States of America and Donald Trump swore to protect the constitution of the United States of America, right? That's his job. It has nothing to do with international law. Now, interestingly, this douche from the New York Times, every time Iran shoots a rocket at Israel, it is designed to kill as many people as possible. They're shooting cluster bombs that explode before they land so it creates as much shrapnel as possible. They're firing obviously at hospitals and everything they aim is at civilian infrastructure, right?
33:47New York Times doesn't care about that. So you're only concerned, it's a very strange thing. You guys all seem to want Western societies to be held to some level of standard of imaginary international law, and everyone else should be held to no standard. And they've done this forever with Israel, and now they're applying it to the United States. Now, should we be better than our enemies? Absolutely. Donald Trump right there says, I don't want to do this. He's telling you, guys, come negotiate. I'm not looking forward to doing some of these things. But at the end of the day, Donald Trump is trying to use power effectively, right?
34:25He's trying to angle the world towards a more peaceful place and these, we're on, between the AI revolution and robotics and drones and everything else, we're at the end in some sense of conventional wars if we can get through this thing. And it's because Donald Trump dared to do what all these other presidents didn't. This is an oldie, but a goodie, enjoy. What's the message to Iran? Don't. What is your message to Iran in this moment? Don't. I'm gonna bomb the out of them. It's true. I don't care. I don't care. Okay, so first off, Trump saying, I'm gonna bomb the shit out of him, that's him running.
35:05That wasn't when he was president, that's when he was running. So for anyone that is disappointed in him right now, or doesn't understand the videos from 1981 or anything else, like that's what Trump was running on. So that's one thing. But the broader point is kind of what I just said about the Democrats. They seem to like when they just say the right thing and they never have the balls to do the right thing. So Kamala, don't. So what do you, and Joe Biden, don't. He doesn't even know what he was saying, right? They didn't even know, don't. Do you want lunch? Don't, it doesn't matter, right? But the point is, the media loves that sort of thing.
35:40Well, they think, my God, they must be very strong. They said, don't. Donald Trump does. That's the difference. He's a builder. He does things. They're lifelong politicians who give you lip service while the world gets worse. Donald Trump is a businessman and a builder who's trying to fix things and telling you in the most honest terms with a long trek record how and why he is going to do it. Let's put a pin in that for a moment. And then on the other side, we're gonna talk a bit more about this rescued pilot out of Iran, which is such a freaking incredible story. This is going to be a movie on Netflix or Amazon or whatever soon enough.

All right. So the story of this pilot who got shot down over Iran is just getting more and more interesting. and we're finding out that we just fundamentally have a different administration that we've had in the past.
37:23No troop will be left behind and we will almost literally move mountains to get our guys back. Here's Fox with a bit more on what happened. He scaled, I'm told, the cliffs of this mountain range in the Zagros Mountains. He hiked to an elevated ridge. Despite having punched out of that plane, his legs somewhat injured, He hiked up about 7 ,000 feet high away from the wreckage and eventually used an encrypted radio and beacon signal to share his location. All right. So before I even chime in on some of that, here's Pete Hegseth on the first thing that they heard on the emergency intercom. When he was finally able to activate his emergency transponder, his first message was simple and it was powerful.
38:10He sent a message, God is good. In that moment of isolation and danger, his faith and fighting spirit shone through. You see, shot down on a Friday, good Friday, hidden in a cave, a crevice, all of Saturday, and rescued on Sunday, flown out of Iran as the sun was rising on Easter Sunday. When American airmen were down behind enemy lines, our forces and our president did not hesitate. Special operators supported by elite air crews and intelligence professionals moved swiftly and decisively into treacherous mountain terrain under the constant threat of Iranian forces closing in. Yeah. So look, it's an incredible story.
38:58They're obviously going to make a movie out of it. The fact that it happened over Easter weekend, you know, this is now the third time on the show. I think I've referenced God is good. That's what Trump said earlier. right. It's just there's something that just feels very American about this and that we just are going to do things a little bit differently now. Here's Trump with a bit more on how we are not going to abandon our people. The heroic F-15 weapons system officer had evaded capture on the ground in Iran for almost 48 hours. That's a long time when you're in tough shape and when you're It's a long time.
39:35We have incredibly talented people. And if the time comes, we move heaven and earth to bring them home safely. We're gonna bring our people home safely. And you know what? When Trump says that, you believe him. If this happens again, if there's some other incident, you know, there was a friendly fire incident at the beginning of the war where Kuwait anti-aircraft missiles shot down two of our planes and our pilots had to be rescued over there. Like we are not going to leave anybody behind. And Trump is also making it very clear, and Hegsa kind of puts an exclamation point on it, that, like, the buck stops with somebody.
40:09This guy's in charge. Here's how we're going to do things. And that's in stark contrast to what we've become accustomed to in America. You may remember Hillary Clinton during the Benghazi hearings. They didn't know that. With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening. You know, Hillary Hill, actually, it does matter.
40:43It does matter because you have to have the proper intelligence on the ground to know why people are doing things so that you maybe can prevent our embassies from being burned down and having our ambassador killed, etc., etc. Here's Fox News' Jen Griffin a bit more on how complicated this mission was to get him out. The CIA first launched a deception campaign spreading word inside Iran that U.S. forces had already found him and were moving him on the ground for exfiltration out of the country by sea. While the Iranians were confused and uncertain of what was happening, the agency used its unique, exquisite capabilities to search for and find the American airmen.
41:23I've spoken to many people involved in the operation, and this was described to me as finding a needle in a haystack. The Air Force colonel was found hiding inside a mountain crevice, Harris, airlifted out by an MH-60 Little Bird. All right, so look, at the end of the day, the question as it relates to this, and I can't wait till we have a press conference with this guy and find out more and everything else. And as I said, the movie's coming for sure. But look, if Biden or Kamala Harris was president right now, Iran would be getting stronger, and in essence, that would mean America would be getting weaker.
41:56We know that. That's a fact. But imagine if a plane, for whatever reason, got shot down in enemy territory while Biden or Kamala Harris was president. Do you think they would have the balls, the tenacity, the fortitude to do what's right, to create the conditions so that our incredible special elite forces guys can go in there and rescue, that we would threaten the enemy regimes in a way that would make sure that we would get our guys back or anything else? Or would they just say don't? Or would they just say, what difference does it make? I think the answer is fairly obvious. Let's get off this planet for just a moment because there is something also absolutely incredible going on, which is that our Artemis II mission has now passed the far side of the moon, which we have not done ever before.
42:45This is rather extraordinary. It's happening basically as we speak. Here's some video. Justin, in mission control, all of your flight controllers and your flight director have flipped their Artemis II patches around. We are earthbound and ready to bring you home.
43:19I mean, I know you can become cynical, but like that image of the moon, how freaking cool. We'll show you another image in a second. But for those of you, I drew a map for those that might be confused as to what's happening here. This is the earth and we went from the earth and you see we went all the way around and then we flipping. So now we see the dark side of the moon over here. And now we are on the way back. Here is the first photo. This was posted this morning of the dark side of the moon. I mean, that is like, you give that guy a Pulitzer. I don't think they astronauts care for a Pulitzer, but pretty great.
43:49Trump gave the astronauts a call. Take a listen. Very special hello to Artemis II. Today you've made history and made all America really proud, incredibly proud. We have a lot of things to be proud of lately, but there's nothing like what you're doing circling around the moon for the first time in more than a half a century and breaking the all-time record for the farthest distance from planet Earth. Humans have really never seen anything quite like what you're doing in a manned spacecraft. It's really special. You all made this day possible. You've really inspired the entire world, really. Everybody's watching.
44:28They find it. So you get how cool and quite literally civilizationally changing this is? We have now sent humans further into space than ever before. We've sent probes and ships into space that are on the way to Mars and beyond and everything and satellites and telescopes and all that, but these are human beings that now have gone around the moon and are on the way back. And you know that once this comes back successfully, there will be all sorts of discussions. Well, what is next? And Elon mentioned a few weeks ago that actually now he's thinking that we should be building on the moon, that it'll be sort of like a halfway stop on our way to get other places.
45:03So imagine if we could use the moon as a space station in essence. We send robots there, we send 3D printers there, We start building stuff on the moon so that we can use that to then continue our adventure into interstellar travel. It is quite spectacular. And now I will juxtapose that with less than spectacular things. We're gonna go to New York City. So if you think that like, you know, the celestial imagery and the wondrous, never ending universe and galaxies, spectacular, we'll do the reverse, which is New York City, which has become just a place of all of the worst ideas run by the worst people.
45:45Zorhan Mandani, the communist slash Islamist who's running the place, he gave this press conference yesterday and it was almost like this, this almost felt like AI because it was so obvious this is going to happen that I don't know how you ding-dongs didn't believe that it was going to happen. But here he is saying that the wealthy still have to pay more because the mid-level wealthy people, they're getting the hell out of there. So he's gonna have to take from you guys and then you'll get out too. and well, you get how this all works out, go. Amidst being in the wealthiest city and the wealthiest country in the history of the world, we already see an exodus of working in middle-class New Yorkers.
46:21So I don't have a hesitation in asking those who make the most amount of money in this city or the most profits in this city to pay a little bit more so that everyone can actually stay in this city. It's also something not just about justice or the ability for working-class people to live here. It is also actually about ensuring that corporations can continue to attract the top talent to this city. Because in a city where childcare costs more than$20 ,000 a year, I've heard from corporate leaders about how difficult it is for them to attract individuals who would work at their companies but want to raise a family.
46:53Unbelievable. It's unbelievable and it's obvious, right? It's like, dude, the exodus is because of you. You are taxing these people to the nth degree, making the people who produce leave, thus leaving the tax burden on the next layer of people. and then you're complaining about that. It's also interesting how he uses the word asking. I'm asking those who can afford it to pay more, but you're not really asking, you're demanding. If taxes were just about asking, well, could you just pay a little bit more? Well, then that would be interesting to see what people pay, but taxes are not voluntary. They are forced upon you, right?
47:28If you don't pay them, you will end up in jail. So you have done this. Also, as per$20 ,000 for childcare, Well, the question really is, does that all fall on the state and city then to provide? Or is it that families should plan accordingly and maybe you should have grandma around or Nona or whoever it is. And perhaps you wanna create the economic conditions of low taxes and low regulations so there's more fluidity in the system, so there's more competition. That lowers the cost of everything, but I know that would be a bit much for you. Here he is talking about his racial equity plan because, you know, racism is back, baby.
48:08That refresh you've been putting off until the right deal came along? It's here. Wayfair's Black Friday in July sale is happening now so you can finally get the style you've been waiting for for less. Get up to 80 % off area rugs and up to 60 % off outdoor and bedroom furniture.

And while today's true cost of living measure confirms that the affordability crisis touches every corner of our city, we know that these effects are not applied evenly.
48:48So often it is black and brown New Yorkers who are hit the hardest. This preliminary racial equity plan is the first step in developing a whole of government approach to tackling that reality. It is a plan that lays out these first steps to solve decades of neglect and discrimination. And it places the work of 45 city agencies within a singular framework. I'm going to tell you one more time, if you live in New York City and you are sane, leave. It is going to keep getting worse. And it is going to get worse and worse. And it is going to get worse in ways that we almost cannot imagine. A racial equity plan to bring up black and brown people.
49:29Well, what will you have to do? It's very hard to bring people up. The only way you can bring people up actually is to make everything equal. And then people have to have some skin in the game and fight and work hard and make some things happen. So they don't really mean bring people up. What they mean is bring people down. And then you will have equity and it will suck for everybody. And by the way, everyone will be a little more racist too because the people who got brought down, those Asians and whites, they're gonna be pretty pissed at those people who in essence think they moved up, but they actually just stayed while they brought these people down.
49:59and all of the people who are producing are fleeing and of course, moving to Florida. And Florida will be the financial capital of the world. It will be the cultural capital of the world. It will be safe and clean and prosperous and have wonderful infrastructure and all of those things. But it's really incredible, a racial equity plan. You know, it's funny when I had Piers Morgan in here a few months ago and I said to him, Piers, do you think your book title, Woke is Dead is a little premature? And he said, no. And I was like, I have to tell you, I think it's morphing, man. And well, New York City now has a racial equity plan.
50:31Oh, and here's New York City's chief equity officer, Afua Ademenza. This plan was born during a defining moment in our city's history, when New Yorkers were in the streets in the midst of a global pandemic, calling for justice, demanding accountability, and bearing witness to brutality unfolding on our streets and on our screens. In that moment, our city was asked to reckon with the deep systemic inequities that have long shaped life here and to do better. New Yorkers across all five boroughs answered that call. Their voices, their advocacy and their persistence are what brought us to this moment.
51:05The release of the preliminary citywide racial equity plan is a reflection of that collective mandate. It is not just a document. It is a commitment, a commitment to confront institutional and systemic racism within our city and to begin the work of dismantling. Begin the work. These people, they're always doing the work. They got their studies and they're going to do the work. do you get what she's doing there? She's telling you that BLM was good. That remember during COVID when they had us masked up and at home and all that stuff, if you went out on the streets and suddenly you didn't have to wear a mask because that meant that somehow the virus couldn't get in you if you were protesting the thing of the day.
51:44But she's saying we had all of that, that happened for years. And now what are the fruits of that? Well, the fruits of that are our equity programs. I'm trying to think, do you guys have any, You have a friend that still lives in New York City. What's his name? Can I say it on the show? Jake. Jake. Because I can't think of any of my friends that live in New York City. Everybody fled already. Jake, Phoenix's friend, Jake. I'll give you a job, man. Come on down. I don't even know, what does he do? What does he do? He does a little, he does some, you don't have to say. All right, he does some stuff.
52:10We'll find something for you. Janitor, whatever it might be. You could bring us lunch. You gotta get out, man. It's enough. It's enough already. So what is the counter to all of this? Poor Jake. What is the counter to all of this? The counter to all of this is call it out, mock it, belittle it. And when push comes to shove, don't be subjected to the unjust whims of people who want control over your life. Javier Malay in Argentina, well, he's doing a bang up job turning that country, which its economy had been completely destroyed. Their monetary system had been obliterated. They have turned it around almost completely in about two years.
52:52Here he is on what is wrong with the left. At one point I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming it never worked anywhere and they refused to accept it. Therefore I thought it was a mental problem. I mean some kind of block that doesn't even let them see the numbers. They are enemies of numbers. They hate numbers. I don't know if lefties hate water or numbers more. I mean I don't know if they hate bathing more than numbers. But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, unequal treatment before the law.
53:25They are very violent. And since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence. Lefties always, let's say, resort to physical violence and all kinds of violent manifestations because they are unable to refute the arguments. First off, that's absolutely hilarious. Phoenix just read me a text. Jake wants out. We're going to get Jake out. You know, I will save. I'll do it one more time. I'm like Schindler over here. I'll just, if I can do it, take my ring. I got one more. Let's go. I really love that phrase that Malay just said there. They're enemies of numbers. They don't like reality, right?
54:00They like saying things, but they don't like doing things. Don't. Oh, you did? Whoops, right? Oh, you killed our ambassador in Benghazi? It doesn't matter. Why'd we do it? Who cares? is all of their policy programs, you think that the racial equity program in New York City is gonna make things better now? Do you think that quote unquote asking the remaining people with some cash for more of their cash is going to fix anything? They don't like reality. It does become a disease of the soul. When you think of all the Karens, these angry, hysterical people that are out there that are miserable, they've made all of this their life.
54:39And that is why they are hysterical.

And what I have consistently found over the years, almost without exception, is that right-leaning people, and it probably has a little something to do with faith, right-leaning people are kinder, more generous, of spirit and of time, and they understand how the world works, and they don't demand that everything bow to them at the exact same time, and that is what we are up against right now.
55:23Donald Trump's leading it at the political level. We all gotta lead it to the best extent in our lives as we can. That's our program for today. Let's get Jake on a plane. Post-game show Rubin Report, .locals.com in 30 seconds. Goodbye.
