Dave Rubin Can't Believe This Happened While He Was Off the Grid | Jillian Michaels Guest-Hosts

25:21Like, what an utter, utter farce. But you're so right about the legacy. Like, sorry, dude, what is your legacy? Well, you were in government for 50-plus years. You broke the border. You, you know, had draconian lockdowns during COVID. You forced vaxes. You weakened us across the world. Like, what is, like, and then what, at the end of all of that is, like, what are you even going out there for at this point? I don't know. Dr. Jill, it's because Dr. Jill won't let the guy just take him back. It's got to be, because it's starting to look, honestly, like abuse. Yeah. Like, stop trotting the guy out there.

25:57Well, did you see, remember right before the election, I think it was the day before the election, they trotted out, I mean, this was the most sad of all of them, they trotted out Jimmy Carter's body, and he literally looked like the cryptkeeper. No one should have seen him. He could not move, mouth agape, hollow eyes. And they said his last wish was to vote for Kamala Harris. So awful. I don't mean to laugh. Somehow if you step away for a month, it's just dark, right? It's like we all know they're lying all the time, but you step away from a month and then the lies seem like really obvious. That's what I mean when you're like, well, I think all the countries are still there.

26:32No one died. But when you gain some perspective, man, this is pretty crazy. There's a lot of work to be done here. All right. Well, look, I wrote good, bad. I have a tally now. So I'm going to say that one was good. Like, we're not going to see much more of him. So you've given me two good ones so far. Okay, I get it. This one's just funny. Okay. Just funny. I can work with. So Hunter Biden has begun working as the director of development for an L.A. homelessness prevention organization called BOSTA. Now, Hunter said that BASTA protects people from eviction, and they're the only group, at least in Southern California, that represents undocumented.

27:13So they don't take federal money. So his mission is to prevent the eviction of illegals that don't pay rent. Now. He's running drug rehab to prevent the... No, it's some sort of organization where you can't be kicked out of your house. Oh, wait, did I just add drug rehab into that myself? Wow, my brain is coming back online. I heard Hunter Biden. And then I immediately thought drug rehab. That's funny. See what's happening? The thing is like starting to worry again. It's like when you remember the old days, you turn on a computer, it would be like ring, ding, ding, ding, ding. Yeah, totally the dial-up sound.

27:45I heard it. So I just completely made that up. All right, put that aside for a sec. Yeah. Well, that's just, well, congratulations. He's probably the new party leader. Well, and I figured that he saw they lost$24 billion to these NGOs. Yeah. Oh, that's interesting. And, you know, saw opportunity there. I just don't understand. I genuinely do not understand the mindset of someone who now, at this point in 2025, would be like, oh, our main thing is that we should be keeping illegals here. Like, it's so profoundly insane. Like, if I illegally got, name a country, literally any country. Okay, Nigeria.

28:23If I literally showed up in Nigeria one day as a visitor, and then six years later I had just never left, and then the Nigerians came to my door and were like, Dave, what are you doing here still? You were supposed to be here on vacation. I wouldn't expect the Nigerians to keep me there. When I was in Rwanda, I had to show proof that I was leaving. They're like, and when are you exiting the country? I'm like, oh, okay. Just to get in, you had to prove that you were leaving. They're like, when's your exit ticket? I really want to do safari in Rwanda. It was awesome. Was it a safari that you did?

28:56It was to go see the gorilla, so gorilla safari. Yeah. The kids. And then went to Tanzania and Kenya. But you know what's crazy? I have just picked up my kids because they were with my ex in Los Angeles. So I go to L.A. to get the kids. And I actually posted this video. This was in July, so you were still here. And it looked like the, I know it's not politically correct to say it, but I want the impact. It looked like the third world. And it was 10 minutes from Beverly Hills. It wasn't Skid Row. And it was garbage everywhere, and tent cities. It looked completely. Oh, yeah, I lived there. I've seen it.

29:28Then I go to Rwanda. There's kids playing soccer at 10 o 'clock at night. There's not a piece of trash on the street. There's like gorillas building nice hospitals. Yes, Dave. And I was like, wow, talk about an upside-down world right now. So you make a very good point. I have a lot to talk to you about on immigration, so I'm not going to get into it right now. Okay. Hunter went on, by the way, to talk about how Melania Trump was introduced to DJT by Epstein. There's a video of this, of course. Take a look. Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep. Anyway, why do we think they don't want the files released?

30:17Do we believe the crack addict? No, of course not. But here's what I did find interesting. So I guess Daily Beast kind of ran with this. And long story short... Daily Beast is utter garbage. Utter, utter, utter garbage. They're all garbage. I mean, they're all garbage. It's all lies. And it's lies on purpose. And the only way I'm beginning to realize personally that you can stop it is by pursuing it legally. So she turned around and threatened Hunter Biden with a billion-dollar lawsuit. Oh, wow. Over his defamatory remarks, she demanded a retraction and removal and an apology. But basically, they forced the Daily Beast to retract it.

30:58Wow. And did he personally retract it, too? So he didn't, but the Daily Beast did. I don't believe he did. Phoenix, am I wrong about that? I don't think he did, Dave. But the Daily Beast did. Interesting. I know. And I've got to tell you, He has been obviously on a tear going after all of these legacy media. I'm not even going to call them these. One of the last things before I left was his crazy podcast where he just, like, tore everybody a new one, all of the Democrats. It's working, though. It is working. And I personally am taking a few, you know, tricks from him right now because if you don't do that, they'll just flat out lie.

31:37Right. And it's wild. You can provide proof, like, this is not true. and they do it anyway and completely disregard it because the narrative is so strong. The incentive to paint certain pictures is so strong and so divisive. So he's been pursuing all of this legally and it is working. And you see it with the Daily Beast, which is somewhat encouraging, but who has hundreds of thousands of dollars to go after it legally all the time? It is partly when I mentioned that really the only sort of political thing I was thinking about was this inviting on the right thing. like so much of it is just based in how social media is exacerbating and amplifying lies, like just lies and nonsense and reconstructionist history and just like all of this craziness.

32:19But what do we do about that? Right. Like, I don't know that there really is no, like, truly clean answer if you're for free speech. And then in this, we have this weird thing where at some level, if you don't have moments like this, where someone who has the means will use the machine to push back on a lie, then there will be no way to decipher truth at all. So it's like you don't want the wife of the president to have to feel like she has to sue a freaking stupid drag. But on the other hand, otherwise it just goes and goes and goes and goes. And what is that? We need something. The truth is like the anchor, basically.

33:04They have no consequences. Yeah. and again like I'll fill you in on some of it as the show goes on but I've experienced it now personally and you have to take action you can provide like this didn't happen I have the proof and they just negate it. Jillian my friend it's right out of camera over there but that is a front page New York Times Sunday piece from about six years ago with me on the front page calling me basically the head of the alt right I mean what do you do? What do you do? I talked to lawyers about suing them And they were basically like, yeah, if you want to spend hundreds of thousand dollars to be in an endless lawsuit that you probably won't win because you're a public person, they'll drain you forever and they have endless resources.

33:46So what do you do? Again, like that's something that we all are just going to have to figure out more and more, especially as AI continues and fakes and blah, blah, blah. All right. So so far, so far, I'm not sensing anything too crazy here. All right. This one's a little bananas. Kamala's out, Biden, crack. Okay. Okay, so this one's a little bit nuts. So, Tulsi Gabbard and Russiagate. You didn't catch any of this, did you? I know she's been trying to expose some things. I think, like, yeah, two days before I left, she basically said that Hillary, there was some stuff around Hillary and Russiagate.

34:21The long and the short of this, and then I'll break it down bit by bit here, is she's basically saying that Obama and Hillary Clinton and now George Soros' Open Society Foundation concocted this entire Russiagate thing that Obama was told by Clapper, his DNI, right? Like, there's nothing to see here. Russia didn't collude in any effective way on behalf of Trump. And they said, kind of, do it anyway, right? So some of that was breaking just as I left. All right. Now, there were some emails that were purportedly found from this guy, Leonard Bernardo. Okay, so this guy was the regional director for Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations.

35:10Okay, now this guy claims he's never seen these emails before. But I copied one for you because I wanted to read it verbatim, this little section from it. So one of these emails stated that Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign advisor's idea, quote about Trump and Russia hackers tampering with U.S. elections. That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level. The point is making the Russian play a U.S. domestic issue says something like a critical infrastructure threat for the election to feel menace since both POTUS and VPOTUS have acknowledged the fact I see would speed up searching for evidence that is regrettably still unavailable.

35:54This is supposedly a direct email from this guy. That all sounds like exactly what happened. Okay. Of course, you know, they deny all of it. Now, August 4th, Pam Bondi orders the DOJ to launch a grand jury probe into Russiagate. So we've got a video on that one. Take a look. Well, Will, good to be with you. This is coming out of the Justice Department. Fox News can confirm that Attorney General Pam Bondi today signed an order directing an unnamed U.S. federal prosecutor to take evidence to a grand jury relating to an alleged conspiracy to tie then-2016 candidate Donald Trump to the country of Russia.

36:28Now, Fox News reviewed the one-page order just hours ago, signed by the attorney general. A source familiar with the probe confirms this as well. While a DOJ spokesperson declined to comment on this report of an investigation, Fox is told Attorney General Bondi is taking the referrals from director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, quote, very seriously. The spokesperson says that Bondi believes there is, quote, clear cause for deep concern, end quote, and a need for the next step. Okay, so now Taibbi tells Cuomo that he thinks indictments are going to come down from this. So take a look at this one.

37:05I think there are going to be indictments. I was very skeptical on that question even a couple of weeks ago but i have heard repeatedly from these folks that they understand that this is not a hearts and minds contest and that they are not doing this for show and that if they don't end up in a courtroom that they will this will be a massive political failure for them so i do think that there will be significant indictments i just don't know what for well well that's interesting what has anything else happened subsequently before i I mean, it's more of the same. Tulsi declassifies files that show former director of national intelligence James Clapper in December complied with Obama's orders to fabricate the Russia hoax before Trump took office.

37:49DNI Gabbard reveals Clapper sought to compromise normal procedures to rush the Russiagate hoax intelligence report. It kind of goes on and on like this. Then the administration revoked security clearances for 37 officials alleging that they weaponized intelligence. So that's it. But here's what's scary about this. Yeah. Sort of no one cares. So that actually is kind of what I was going to say. Yeah. Sort of no one cares. Right. Because the top of that you mentioned was right at the beginning of the month. And now we're already into September. And these things, they burn hot for a second and then everyone just moves on.

38:28It's like anything as it relates to covid. No matter how many people you killed or you threw people back in old age homes or you injected children with things. nobody pays the price. And when anyone pays the price, it's always the wrong person or a patsy or something. So the only difference I would say, and this is what I've, you know, Tulsi a little bit, right? I feel like maybe we've even, have you never met? We've never met in person, but we've chatted on the phone a couple of times. What I can tell you about Tulsi, I know her fairly well. I would say she is a good, decent human being who loves this country and really wants to do the right thing as I don't know exactly everything in her brain and heart, but like to the extent that I know her on camera and off, that is, I can absolutely say that with confidence about her.

39:09I don't, she does not strike me as the type of person that would just come in and just kind of make up stuff or placate to the system or whatever you want. It's a little bit like Dan Bongino. You could say whatever you want about Dan. And I know a lot of people kind of turned on him a few months to go around some Epstein stuff. And I was like, this guy has fought for every good thing forever. Like, maybe he's not giving you exactly what you want right now, but you got to give him a little bit of grace. So look, if indictments start coming, that's different than just, okay, we found some emails and this or that or the other thing.

39:40So, all right, that's interesting. That's something. That feels like some newsworthy thing. But to your point, it just kind of... It's something that deep. And like the left completely ignored it. Yeah. Right? And the right kind of, something maybe, indict maybe there's something there oh my god prison you know every twitter feed prison we want jail to it's also why i'm really trying to focus on the positive stuff happening in the country all the time i think that's because it's the only thing that solves any of this like whether you indict somebody or you arrest like like are we better i'm not saying hillary where's that gonna go right and all you're jailing your opponents and it's a slippery slope and then everything's It's vindictive.

40:19And that's what I mean. So we have to be careful. Right. So we have to be careful what we ask for with that stuff. And I think, again, the only thing that solves this, and this is why I'm so bullish on this 20, 250th anniversary of America thing coming up next year, is that the only thing that solves it is success. Success of the country solves it. Success is the thing that makes racists be a little less racist. You know, like when things are going well, success is the thing that makes you be a little less jealous, that makes you be a little more humble, that makes more people want to want to cooperate with each other and everything else.

40:50When things aren't going well, that's when everybody's trying to get everybody and destroy everything. And unfortunately, the left has been really good at decimating so many of the good things that I think a lot of people... Everything is just resist. That's the whole thing that's all they're about. How boring. Is just resist, no matter what. I've got some good stuff for you on that one that is so freaking crazy that will illustrate the point I think better than anything. and I'll get to that in a minute and I'm sure the audience is pretty clear on what I'm referring to but we'll get to that but everything is just resist at all costs no matter what and you're going to see it in the news yes we must stop all of this good stuff from happening because then they won't need us that's the thing or we'll never be in power again so if we don't position it as crime is good and homelessness is good and illegal immigration is good and, you know, red food dye is good, then where are we?

41:55Because you didn't fix it. If anything, it all got worse. So I got something cute for you. All right, something cute. It looks like Trump is doing renovations, so take a look. Oh, they were going to build a ballroom or something? It's kind of cute. Mr. President, what are you doing up there?

42:13Come down and talk to us. But what are you building?

42:21Are you considering more renovations, sir?

42:31I actually couldn't quite hear what he said, but we really don't deserve the guy. We really don't. It is never going to get more real and ridiculous in the good sense and functional in the best sense. It's just never going to get better. If we can't do what needs to be done politically to turn around some of the stuff that we're always talking about, if this isn't it, if this isn't enough, how does it? So what are they doing? I'm not quite sure. We're building a second level? But that's the thing. I'm like, well, if he's doing a ballroom, why is he on the roof? Yeah. I don't know. He's such a lunatic.

43:03But anything's possible. He might be, you know, I thought, is he? Wait, you'll love this. What are the zoning laws with the White House, do you think? You'll love this. So we go away with the kids these last few days. We were at a little beach place not too far from here. And the kids, Luke kept saying, I want to go back to the White House. I want to go back to the White House. And I'm like, what is he talking about? The White House? He wants to go to the White House. You know, we've read them books about the Statue of Liberty and whatever. We want to go back to the White House. And then we realized, my house is just, it's a big white house.

43:32Oh, that's so cute. And he wanted to go back to the White House the entire time. So now he's back at the White House and he's very happy. Kids love home at the end of the day. They get a little older, though, and then you can take them on kind of crazy adventures. And we are doing renovations here, which Donald Trump could probably do a lot faster and cheaper than what I'm paying the contractors in Miami. Are you really? I'll show you what's going on in there. I just am wrapping one up in Jackson, and it has taken years off my life. So good luck with that. Yeah, okay. Keep me in the loop. It's good you have a tequila company.

44:06We've got a lot to cover, but just make sure you're well-fired. I'm going to pay for it or to drink through my sorrows. Oh, my God, babe. Wait until they don't show up. Wait until they're three-quarters of the way through the job, and they don't show up. Yeah, in Miami, I understand. And they just vanish, and everything is ten times more. Yeah. Anyway, so that was cute. All right. All right, all right. Again, so far, I'm not sensing anything crazy or anything. Okay. No. Yeah, okay. Anyway, we'll get there. Stuff that I don't love that I'll share with you. Okay. I'll give you a little precursor.

44:39I think, no, I'm not. We'll get there when we get there, because this is a good one. So Trump got the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to sign peace agreements and shake hands after 35 years of conflict. Great. Not surprising. This is a great one. Take a look at that.

45:00The president of the United States, the president of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the prime minister of the Republic of Armenia will now sign the joint declaration on the outcomes of the Trump route for international peace and prosperity summit. That's really beautiful. They will sign three copies. Yeah, reminds me of Hitler. I was just about to give, I wanted to give the guy his due here. So you know this, but just for anybody watching, I mean, he negotiated peace, even though there's still some little bit of fighting on the borders of the Congo and Rwanda. I mean, the guy de-escalated the situation in India and Pakistan.

45:37Cambodia and Thailand border dispute put it to bed. Egypt and Ethiopia negotiations he hosted in August 2025 put that to bed. The Iran and Israel situation seems to be under a ceasefire still. The U.S. and the Houthis ceasefire was announced. I mean, he is a president for peace. It's almost like America is supposed to lead the world, that it's a heavy burden and somebody's got to do it, and if it's not us, it's going to be much worse. And when we abdicated the duties, as we did for four years under a president whose brain wasn't in his head, that that was a problem, and now we're trying to fix it, it's almost like that, don't you think?

46:14What I find crazy is the people who can't stand him somehow manage to not see any of it. They never see the good stuff. None of it. Never see the good stuff. Zero. Yeah. Now, I do have to give you a bit of an update on the Ukraine situation. Okay. And I got to tell you, D, at the end of the day, I still think it's much ado about nothing. Okay. Bottom line is we are losing this. And we had the off-ramps. We didn't take it. Putin's winning, and there's really no incentive for him to stop. Now, I got to give you the update because I thought we were making progress. so here's what happened Trump brought Putin to Alaska the left went bananas oh they met in person?

46:55they met in person oh wow okay I got a lot to show you on this one so they he had the all-star foreign policy team together for the negotiations the left was like I can't believe you're bringing him to America and it's like why though? why would you why would that be an issue? as Trump says I want people to stop dying and I I mean I personally would do anything to make that happen in large part so take a look at kind of the whole the whole throw down here so here we are I don't know that I necessarily narrate this for you but they in fact meet in Alaska alright they're on the airstrip here and then you've got Trump standing with Putin, they're smiling you've got Marco Rubio and Steve Whitcoff there with him it was a whole thing and you know yeah I thought we were going to get somewhere here now on the On the 15th of August, Putin says that he hopes the agreement can be reached with Trump and he wants to have peace.

47:50And Trump says he's going to call Zelensky and NATO regarding this meeting. So we got another video on that. Take a look. If he could bring about the end to this terrible war where Putin is the aggressor, invading a neighbor country, trying to change the borders. If President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. Huh. No, we jumped ahead a little bit on that one. Okay, well, that's pretty good. She kind of sets him up to fail, though, because she basically is like, if we don't have to give up any territory, like, what do you mean you don't have to give up any territory?

48:23Putin's already winning. He's already got it. So she's basically, in my opinion, what she does there is essentially say, no matter what happens, even if you brokerage peace, you lost. Meaning that Ukraine would have to give up some territory. They're going to have to give up some territory. Exactly. It's just reality. That's the point. That's what I see her doing is saying, like, there's no way this guy can win, because I'm going to set the bar impossibly high. Because no one took the off-ramps in 2022 when Putin didn't know how it would play out. Now, as mentioned, he is winning. So this kind of goes on.

48:54Putin does say that he can confirm the war wouldn't have happened if Trump was in office, whatever the hell that means. Trump then says on August 16th that Russia and Ukraine should go directly to a peace agreement instead of a ceasefire. there's the Hillary thing like oh yeah if he could pull this off blah blah blah now here's here's something cute Zelensky shows up in a suit wow he got a suit somebody went to H &M let's see let's roll this okay so he gets the whole like EU all the leader Macron's there Merz is there freaking Maloney the whole NATO Europe situation they're all there we got a 40 second video of that one

49:50I think in the past two weeks we've probably had more progress in ending this war than we have in the past three and a half years. I really want to thank you, President of the United States, dear Donald, for the fact that But you, as I said before, broke the deadlock, basically, with President Putin by starting that dialogue. You know, if I can save 7 ,000 people a week from being killed, I think that's a pretty I want to try and get to heaven if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons. Well, all right.

50:28This all sounds good, but I'm guessing nothing's happening here. Nothing's happened yet. Nothing's happened yet. I mean, we do have it. Here's the bottom line is that Bill Maher praised Trump because he, quote, really does not like war. I mean, you know, Bill, it like comes out and we'll call balls and strikes still loves Gavin Newsom, which I can't understand. Oh, we got a video of it. I don't know. Oh, no, Bill, don't know. It's funny. I see that today is the anniversary of Woodstock. This is a 56 years ago. And the hippies, what did they hate more than anything else? War. What is it good for?

51:02Absolutely nothing. So if you're the kind of person who says, you know, you can find some good in anybody, this would be the good in Donald Trump. He really does not like war. I mean, I do love that Bill said that. Here's where we're at, though. The reality is that Trump has, I'm not sure if you were here for this, he's now going to have NATO buy weapons for us and he's going to arm Ukraine. So I think that was happening right as I was leaving. He's going to have to do it. And he's also introducing secondary sanctions. So he's putting a 50 percent, he's raising it from 25 percent to 50 percent sanction on India because they're buying fuel from Russia.

51:40So, you know, he's going to try to get people to kick them out of SWIFT and the whole thing. But, you know. So it's a little bit of like have it both ways. Yeah. The reality is, you know, Victor Davis Hanson says, like, if you want peace, plan for war. Of course. Of course that's right. Peace through strength. Exactly. I think he doesn't have a choice because there's just no, what would be the incentive? Honestly, this is not in the notes. Just between you and I, when you look at this from the outside, what is Putin's incentive to stop? I have said the same. People could go back to my, when did this all start?

52:14Three plus years ago at this point. I have said the exact same thing from day one on this thing, which is at the end of the day, Putin has nukes. So yes, did he invade a sovereign country? Yes. Is that a little more complex than usual borders because of the breakup of the Soviet Union and all that? Yes, yes, yes, fine. But at the end of the day, the guy that invaded has nukes. So the idea that, okay, we can give him 20 more tanks or 40 more planes, the Ukrainians obviously, or this much more money or pay their pensions or whatever, that as if that's going to end the war at some point, it's like, no, that doesn't.

52:46Because if Putin ever was really losing the war, he has the ultimate weapon. Exactly. So what really are we doing here? I don't know. This is a point where I just, to me, you have to just grant Trump a long leash on this. He's at least trying. Everything. He's trying diplomacy. He's rearming Ukraine, but not with our tax dollars. He's trying secondary sanctions now. He's trying every other thing. So what are they saying? Like, why is it not working? It's just stalled. We're waiting on this trilateral meeting between him and Putin and Zelensky. But, you know, Melania said this, or Trump said this of Melania, that he goes home after these meetings.

53:29He's like, everything went great. Everything's gone so great. He goes, are you sure? Because he just blew up a bunch of kids and just nailed another city. I mean, at the end of the day, whether there were off-ramps, whether we wanted this war or not, I don't think anyone can deny that Putin is bananas. You know, you're not dealing with... Yeah, I mean, he's a former KGB agent. He's a crafty guy. He's been in power for, you know, democratically elected for a long time. You know, like, this is not going to be an easy one. No. Interesting. All right, so that's just kind of limbo. Yeah, that's kind of where we're at.

54:04You know. All right. So, yeah, okay, that's okay. We're going to sanction, blah, blah, blah. I mentioned all that to you. Okie dokie. Ah, I like this story. Okay. Now then.

54:18Elon and Trump have agreed on something again, and it is over big balls. Do you remember Ed Cordestein? There was a kid whose screen name was Big Balls or something? Yes, he was part of Doge. Yeah, okay. Okay. So listen to this. This sparked like a huge thing that's going on, and it's a really big deal right now, actually. I think for the better. Of course, the left is in an authoritarian panic. Long story short, Big Balls is out with his girlfriend. As far as I know, she was his girlfriend. So saved a woman from being assaulted. I thought they were a couple. I'm not totally sure. From a bunch of kids, like 14 teenagers, that beat the shit out of Big Balls.

54:59That's Big Balls? That is Big Balls. Isn't he cute, actually? He's a cute kid. So listen to this. They beat up Big Balls, who acts like a ginormous hero, and tries to save the lady. the judge they catch two of these teenagers and she basically releases them with no consequences wait so they were just attacking they were trying to steal this woman's car or something and he just randomly saved a woman being assaulted by her car I thought it was his girlfriend and they were together and he told her to take off is that the woman or is that the judge that's the judge so Big Ball stays behind in this act of heroism and gets the crap kicked out of him by 14 teenagers they catch two of these kids Should I ask the ethnic makeup of this?

55:42Because I'm going to guess that probably colors the story, so to speak. There was something unrelated to this. So one of the things that is in a really bad place are race relations. We have some stuff on it involving me. But with that said, there was an issue. This is not in here. But there was a teacher. I think he was a Harvard professor who got the crap kicked out of him by a couple of teens in a movie theater. and then turned around and was like, I can't describe them. And then, of course, everybody online was like, okay. And it begot all of this crazy racist remarks on both sides. But the racial makeup was obviously what we think it is.

56:28Presumably. Because he couldn't. So he was white and they were black. Presumably. So I'm not entirely sure what race these kids were. But this is not... So colorblind, you can have a bunch of people kick the shit out of you, and you don't know what that... You've really had the shit kicked out of you, and you don't know what color they are. Yeah. I'll get to kind of what's gone on with that issue in a little bit. Okay. But wait, what happened with big balls here? So ready for this? So Trump turns around, and he's like, F it. I'm federalizing D.C. And he took over law enforcement and basically just got everybody on the ground.

57:07So let me read it to you as it's supposed to be told. But the long story short is he gets the guard in the mix. And he, I mean, but like everybody, the FBI, like everybody actually got involved. And the long and the short of this, I mean, there's a video actually. Oh, hold on. Before we get to the video, let me just tell it to you without the notes. so he's like screw this i'm taking over and the long story short is you know dc's crime is bananas right it's three times higher than pretty much any blue city the homicide rate is like six and a half times higher than new york and california or los angeles um and everybody goes crazy the left is going nuts now to the credit of the police chief and the mayor uh bowser right they did say I have to be honest, they did say, we want to see what we can do with the resources.

58:02Now, the left has gone wacky because they're like, this is nuts. Crime is at, what is it, like a 30 % low? I can't remember exactly. It's never been lower. It's 30 % lower. However, as mentioned, it's still ridiculously high. And there's some evidence to suggest that law enforcement there has kind of been cooking the books on the statistics. Right. They don't report certain things now. They changed the crimes. So there's actually a guy, I made a note of this because I don't want to get his name wrong, in all of these notes somewhere in here. But long story short, he was like a commander who was put on administrative leave.

58:39He denies this, but for kind of cooking the books and making more serious crimes, little misdemeanors. But the actual police union came out and said it's not just him. It's everybody is kind of complicit in this. and nevertheless whether it's true or whether it isn't true dc's crime is still bananas so he federalizes the guard and the statistics are dave they're incredible crime plummets now i don't have unfortunately for some reason i must have it on another page here we go here we go here we go okay and then i got videos to show you but cnn reported that president trump's dc takeover produced a drop in crime now when i was on cnn they didn't admit this so i must have missed this episode of cnn Oh, right.

59:20Last time I saw you, you were going to CNN, right? Yeah, I've got a lot to tell you about that, Dave. In the meantime, okay, so there was a huge spike in immigration arrests. Property crime is down 19%. Violent crime is down 17%. Robberies and car break-ins are down 40%. The U.S. Marshals arrested 141 violent fugitives in Operation Memphis Streets. Okay, so now let's go to this video. Oh, one more thing I want to tell you. So he then turns to the homeless shelters and says, I'm cleaning all this up. You guys get the choice of rehab, counseling for mental health issues. We're going to put you in shelters.

59:58We got video of this one. So I want you to watch this one. So let's see this one, guys. Can I see this 58 second video here? In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law order of public safety in Washington, D.C., and they're going to be allowed to do their job properly. And you people are victims of it, too. You know, You're reporters, and I understand a lot of you tend to be on the liberal side, but you don't want to get mugged and raped and shot and killed. And you all know people and friends of yours that happened. Homeless individuals will be given the option to leave their encampment, to be taken to a homeless shelter, to be offered addiction or mental health services.

1:00:42Can you guys tell us who you are? Who are you?

1:00:52I'm good. They said I'm good.

1:00:58Good broadcast for the mob. We're going up. Hey, how are you? Okay, excuse us. I don't know.

1:01:09Did I do it right? All right, well. I don't know. I want that guy on the show. Whatever just happened right there. I don't know. Yeah. But the reality is it's actually working. Yeah. I'm shocked. Do you mean if you tell people that you're going to clean up cities and you actually start doing something, it starts cleaning up cities? Is that what you're telling me? That's what I'm telling you. My God, a lot has happened since I've been gone. First off, I love what Trump says there. It's so exactly why Trump is great. He goes, a lot of you are on the more liberal side, but you don't want to be mugged and shot and raped and murdered.

1:01:40And you know the saying, of course, which is a conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged by reality. And that's what you, right? Like literally so many of us, why I love the left, so many of the old school liberals all woke up partially because of COVID or because of crime in the cities or whatever it might have been. Because suddenly you're like, oh, I would prefer not to be stabbed with a hypodermic needle when I'm going to take my kids to the library. So, OK, sometimes it takes a scary conservative to clean things up. So that all seems good. I do want to know more about the guy who was just, was that a guy or what the hell was that?

1:02:17I don't know. But it has been, in my opinion, given the statistics, a huge success. And as mentioned, the police chief and, okay, hold on, Pam Bondi also basically took away her power to now call it a sanctuary city. So they're staging a takeover. There should be no such thing as a sanctuary city. Like, come on, okay. Okay, all right. So, nevertheless, it looks like a staggering success. Of course, the left is like, it's authoritarian. He's taking over our cities. Oh, my God. And this is what I mean when I tell you resist at all costs because it's like, are you not happy? Look at the numbers. There's no innocent here.

1:03:00We don't have a story of, oh, they accidentally shot an innocent guy taking his daughter to school because they're such authoritarian monsters. It's not. Just bad guys going to jail. It's not compassionate to have criminals out on the street. It's not compassionate to have homeless people setting up encampments and drugs everywhere like in San Francisco. That's not compassion. That's the reverse of compassion. They have faux compassion. That's the thing. Can I highlight a little hypocrisy for you that I personally enjoyed? Okay, so they all went crazy when they cleaned up the homeless encampments, right?

1:03:32But somehow we forgot Gavin Newsom's photo op in 2024. remember when he pushed on the Supreme Court to allow him to force cities to clean up the homeless encampments and then showed up for the photo op taking all the homeless people's stuff and throwing it in the garbage? Do we have a picture? We definitely have a picture of it. My point is when Gavin does it. Of course. Remember when Xi Jinping came to San Francisco and they suddenly managed to get all the homeless people who were all gone and then they all appeared three days later. Where the hell did they put them? I don't know. I hope you gave them all their stuff in the process.

1:04:07You know he's grinding them up and using them as hair gel. I don't disagree with you. I don't. Now, here's where this gets a little nuts. So, in Trump fashion, he says that he is going to deploy the military to Chicago and then New York and possibly L.A. Now, in D.C., he can do that legally, but I don't see how he does it in Chicago, New York, and L.A. I'm not quite sure. I get the Insurrection Act. I have no idea. But I guess it's the insurrection. Right, for crime, because that's different than when you deploy to find illegals, which is the job of the federal government. So have they done any of this yet?

1:04:43Not yet. But it has been such a staggering success. And it's so funny because the left is like, oh, yeah, until it comes to a city near you. And I was like, oh, yes, please. Right. Come clean up L.A. Can L.A. be next? You know, it's so funny. One of the things that I thought of a lot during the month is because I was just doing things around the house, and I'm like here and just doing errands and just stuff here in Miami. It's so clean. It's so pleasant. It's so safe. You go out at night. There's no, you know, it's not that nothing happens here, right? There's no perfect system, but it's just, it functions the way it should.

1:05:17So that's another reason why my general sense I thought might be a little bit off because I was like, oh, I'm just around, I'm in my bubble here that is a goodness bubble because of, it's not a miracle though. It's not, it's just not, it didn't just like come out of nothing, right? It didn't just like peer out of osmosis. It came out of proper governance and really good people that realized that they should have some skin in the game and get involved. And then it turns into proper policing and all those things. So yeah, if he suddenly was like, I have to send the troops to Miami, I'd be like, all right, now we've got a problem here.

1:05:46But sending them to the places. Well, you saw what happened over in Chicago over Labor Day, did you? Wait, yesterday? No. Over the whole Labor Day weekend. No, I didn't. Shootings, deaths, the usual. You know, I've been off the grid for the month. I don't know. Well, the Labor Day, I thought maybe you caught some of that. No, nothing. Yeah. I have no idea. That's not... There were shootings in Chicago? I mean, yeah. The usual. Well, shit. Pretty bad. So that's arguably... How many? How many? I mean, there's always shootings in Chicago. Gosh, it was like 50? Oh, that's even for Chicago. I don't know how many were killed.

1:06:14Phoenix, how many? I've been trying to sort of... There's video of it and people on the ground and there's bullets flying. Right. So is it compassionate to just be like, all right, we're going to give the city up to the warlords? Like, of course not. I have to wonder. This is kind of my point. I've got some such crazy shit to show you, but this is sort of my point with the left where it's just resisted all costs. And you make great things out of horrible things. Like, oh, homeless people in the streets. It's awesome. The thing is, is it not obvious to you as a, let's say, more recent convert or whatever you want to call it, isn't it not obvious to you that the last liberals, so the Bobby Kennedys and the Tulseys and the you and me and Rogan, whoever that thing was, Elon, all these people, we were the last bulwark on the left before the crazy was there.

1:07:01And it was growing and growing and growing. And we all saw it in identity politics and pronouns and blah, blah, blah, and everything's racist. And there was this, there was like a group of us, right? Like originally it was Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris. And there was like this group of us that were trying to do it. Then it kind of expanded. And then at some point enough of us were like, all right, we're jumping ship and we're going to hang with the conservatives for whatever differences we have. And we're good, But we all love the country. We love freedom and we love goodness and law and order and blah, blah.

1:07:28And now there's just nobody left. So what happens? You end up basically in like a Bane Batman situation where the Scarecrow is doing fake trials and then they're sending people out onto the ice. Pretty much. That's not that far from it. No. Like you're going to end up in just places where there will be sheer insanity. 100%. And then there will be people who remove themselves from the insanity. That's partly what the red-blue separation is. Oh, God. I want to jump ahead and tell you so many things. Oh, God, this is so annoying. Go. Sorry, I'm not doing it. Yes. Okay. I don't, okay. I can't jump ahead.

1:08:01I can't jump ahead. Is the scarecrow doing trials? If I nailed that one, that would be pretty impressive. Well, people are trying to prevent, and I'll give you an example coming up. Now, red states are trying to prevent people from blue states moving in and making zero connection to the way they voted with regard to the policy that they fled. I'm very interested in where you're going with this. Okay, so we'll get there. We'll get there. But the long and the short of it is this is working and it's kind of awesome. And I will say that I watched a video of a black conservative on YouTube and he was saying that black on black crime is down in D.C.

1:08:39And he was giving Trump props about that because, of course, they were like, oh, everybody's so racist. The entire right is racist. And I thought that was really interesting because it's like, Any policing now of black communities is considered racist, usually by white liberals. And it was very interesting to see a black man saying, like, huh, black on black crime is down, huh, from the racist president. As Trump said, even you more liberal people, you don't want to be raped. Do you? It's like, right, unless you kind of do. And I think in some sense they kind of do, actually, like in some weird, but all right, all right, let's go.

1:09:18Yeah, I don't disagree with you. Okay, immigration stuff. So now this gets a little, this one is highly controversial, and I'll get to that in a minute, but let me give you the facts. So the State Department announces on August 28th that Nationals of Malawi and Zambia applying for a B-1, B-2 business and tourist visa will be required to post up to$15 ,000 bond deterring visa overstays. Okay, so yeah, I get the little, all right. So now, just throw on downs. August 8th, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia just vacated Judge Busberg, so I'm probably mispronouncing that order, holding the Trump administration in criminal contempt for deporting illegals under the Illegal Alien Enemies Act.

1:10:00So that's good. Yeah, we're going. Superman actor Dean Cain is going to join ICE. What? I know Dean. We saw Dean at the airport not too long ago. Yeah, alright, that's fun. Okay, good for you. I wonder if he'll have to wear a mask. Okay, August 9th, Trump announces the judges can no longer block his policies nationwide. However... Wait, Trump announces the judges? No, the Supreme Court ruled on the whole, like, okay, one federal judge can't use nationwide. Okay, however, you know, there's workarounds, obviously, by filing a class action lawsuit, and you're seeing that with the Dreamers. The left is already onto that and into it.

1:10:47There you have it. There's always a loophole that both parties look for, and this is theirs. But he felt very excited about the victory at the time. All right, Marco Rubio has halted all visitor visas from Gaza. California. Oh, no, this is a bummer. Yeah, this one sucks. This is sad. California granted an illegal named Harjinder Singh a commercial driver's license, and he killed three people in Florida by performing an illegal U-turn on a Florida turnpike. Now, this guy doesn't speak English. He failed all English proficiency tests and road sign tests. And there's a video of this one. The White House's rapid response social media account reposted a video of the accident with a statement criticizing the state of California for granting Singh a commercial driver's license.

1:11:39The White House posting this. This individual is an illegal immigrant who was granted a commercial driver's license by the state of California, and now three innocent people are dead. A White House spokesperson adding, This is a devastating tragedy made even worse by the fact that it was totally preventable. Illegal aliens that have no legal right to be in our country certainly should not be granted commercial driver's licenses. I mean, how absolutely insane. Like, okay, so fine, the guy comes in. That's one thing. We already know. Okay, so a gajillion people have done that. How do you give the guy a commercial driver's license as an illegal?

1:12:17Here's what he did. He did what everyone's doing and tried to use the asylum loophole, right? By the way, who's running for their lives from India? There's no genocide happening there. He's not. nevertheless there's there's no credible claim obviously you've never had day-old butter chicken right grueling on the stomach all right i just i mean listen you make a good point i you know i didn't find that when i was researching this story but but possibly that's it uh nevertheless he comes here illegally in 2018 does the i need asylum game um of course the case is yet to be adjudicated. And given Biden's policies, he was allowed to apply for a work permit.

1:13:06So while you wait, which can take like seven to 10 years, exactly. And the whole asylum system has been backed up because of this, and true refugees are being denied relocation and so on and so forth. So nevertheless, this guy knows the game, plays it. He gets the work permit, And then he essentially games the system with translators and somehow pretends he can speak English. Because you do have to speak English to get the license in California. So in all fairness, he's not to get into the country, just to get the commercial driver's license. Just to get the license. So he somehow games the system and pretends he can speak English to get this license.

1:13:51and in all fairness, like I would love to say, oh, Gavin Newsom, and I, you know, I cannot stand Newsom, but the reality is the guy did follow all the rules to get the work permit, and, you know, these are all our policy problems that need to change. Sure, that's not, that's really not an excuse of Newsom, because he's still the chief executive of the state that's allowing a lot of stuff to him, but, okay, fine, fine. Now, listen, I totally agree with you, but the thing, like, you're supposed to speak English, he somehow gamed the whole, like, there was no rule that he didn't have to speak English or know how to drive.

1:14:20He just found a way to pretend like he did. So there's that. And he ends up killing a bunch of people. So in response to that, Marco Rubio froze the issuing of all worker visas for commercial truck drivers. And he states that foreign drivers operating tractor trailer trucks are endangering Americans and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers. And then I gave you the whole background on this guy. Now, here's one thing to note, and this is important, his initial application for a work permit was denied under the Trump administration in September 2020, but it was approved under the Biden administration in June 2021.

1:14:58Well, good for Rubio. Look, you should not have illegals driving trucks cross country. We have to deal with this. Either we deal with this now. This is the one opportunity we will have as a nation to deal with this stuff. Europe, it's too late for most of Europe, certainly Western Europe, not Eastern Europe. So we either deal with this stuff right now or we don't. So good for Rubio. And by the way, like truckers, truckers who are usually amazed, you know, any truckers, truckers are incredible people. Actually, when I had a show on Sirius XM like 15 years ago or something, you know, most of the call-ins, the people that would call into the show were truckers because they're just listening to stuff all day.

1:15:36I found them to be the most like thoughtful, smart, interesting, because they just have time to think about the world and drive across the country. It's a really interesting psychological makeup of someone that's a trucker that spends their life basically going like this all the time. They're going to be replaced by robots anyway, like so many other things. So the idea that you'd be, you know, it's sort of like when they say, okay, bring in the illegals, they have someone to have to pick our tomatoes. It's like, okay, well, the robots are going to pick our tomatoes soon, and then what are you going to do with those people?

1:16:04So good for Rubio. The one thing I will tell you that I'm observing is a little bit of pushback on the right, actually, on this. And you're starting to see somebody know a good, hardworking, taxpaying person has entered the country illegally. And as it's affecting people personally, you're starting to see them. Oh, well, they're upset that their housekeeper is not going to be as cheap. I'll give you an example. That's the truth, actually. Okay, not that one. I actually hate that example because, of course, it's like a way to maintain like a serfdom of this class that just stays your housekeeper forever because she's not here legally and has no upward mobility because of that.

1:16:48And that is gross. But not so much that. And, you know, I was watching Officer Tatum. Do you ever watch him? Yeah, yeah. And there was a lady that ran a restaurant, and she was here for 30 years. and he basically was saying if we don't find a way for good people who want to do the right thing to get a path to citizenship the other side's going to do it and they're going to win those voters over there's got to be a way to allow and facilitate good hard-working people to contribute to pay taxes to take you know to give more than they take which traditionally when immigrants are allowed to come in legally their kids do better in school they start more small businesses they have huge upward mobility.

1:17:27They pay more into the system than they take. But the way the laws have been set up, especially because of the Biden administration, you're seeing this. People killed on a turnpike in Florida. Right. So that incident obviously is horrific. I'm guessing nobody really knows their names, right? We never know the names of the people that get killed. We only know the name of the bad people, which is also a cultural problem. As for that specific thing, I mean, look, we all have that. Hopefully everyone has a little of that humanity in them, right? So this woman that's been here 30 years that raised the family and that basically did everything right.

1:17:59Like, is the goal of all of this to eliminate all of those people and upend so much? Most people, I don't think, really think that. The problem is, I mean, we've come back to this 10 times already, but the problem is the left has gone so crazy with everything, and they never give credit nor an inch to the right on anything that there's no, the amount of people on the right that would naturally have sympathy to a lot of that are basically like, F it. F it. We're just going to do what we got to do. And at the end of the day, you either have laws or you don't. So I don't know what the answer to that is.

1:18:31Most people in their hearts of hearts, are you trying to rip away the 36-year-old woman with one kid who's here working that is legal, that loves American areas? Most people, the answer is no. But either a law exists or not. So I don't know exactly. And again, what was the country you mentioned before? If I went to Zimbabwe and I was there 10 extra years and they found me, they would kick me out and it would be within their right. So that's why this is so complex. And again, it's why everything that the right, let's say, overreacts to is because the left is so insane. All they have to do is not be so insane all the time, but now there's nobody left.

1:19:08They're getting more insane, though. I know how the right is. Oh, woke is dead. I'm like, not really. It's actually alive and well. Well, you haven't mentioned anything out of New York City yet with the election. I'm very curious about that because that's the recalibration of woke. I'm about to get there. Yeah. If Bernie was the architect, like this is, this is what the, all right, we'll get there. Okay. So what else do I have for you here on this one? August 18th, stats show that ICE is deporting 1 ,400 illegal immigrants a day. State Department revokes over 6 ,000 student visas over assault, support of terrorism and overstays.

1:19:49August 19th, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu opened her Boston press conference against Trump's crime crackdown with Singh. Okay, it's a video I don't. Everybody, hu-hu-ya. Hu-hu-ya. El Florentino.

1:20:14Yeah, good. Keep going, Democrats. Keep going, Wu. It's good. Remember, she's the mayor of Boston who had the Christmas party only for her colored employees. Like, okay, okay. Keep going, lady. Okay. All right. The United States immigrant population is now declining for the first time in 50 years. Okay. All right. August 23, the State Department reviewed 55 million visa holders for deportable violations. August 23, okay. This went wackadoodle dandy. All right, you ready? Yeah. Woo! So Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Yes, love that guy. It looks like he's going to be deported to Uganda. In response to this...

1:20:55To Uganda? Yeah, here's why. You've got to be kidding me. No, I'm not. Because he's here under his asylum claim, as you know. Yeah. But if you're afraid to go back to your country... Oh. We send you to Uganda? You still have a deportation order on good old Kilmar. so if we have a deal with a third party country who's willing to take him I mean he's already got a deportation order so if we can't send him back we're El Salvador so we're sending a simple Maryland man just a regular Maryland man now I've got more for you on this one people were so upset that they held a vigil for him where Glenn Ivey one of the congressmen in Maryland showed up and they sang and they prayed and they cried and they wept and for anybody who's been living under a rock that isn't familiar with Kilmar Do we have a video of that?

1:21:55I like videos of these people crying. And they cry and they sing and of course the gays are out for Kilmar. We love him. He's a human trafficker. Yes. Okay. So we have a video on that. We're pulling that up but long story short Christy Noem, listen to this as we were talking about the media earlier omitting facts and lying and manipulating narratives she gives a whole speech about Kilmar and bye bye Kilmar and this is what we know about Kilmar and it's like soliciting nudes from minors and beating the crap out of his wife. He beat his wife with a boot he was a human trafficker. The whole thing, right?

1:22:34And they have got informants that have come forward Long story short, CBS edits all of that out of her speech or talk or whatever, her press conference, and it looks like they're going to sue CBS. And CBS goes, we were just cutting it for time. So you cut out the part about him being the scum of the earth. And the left is holding a vigil for Kilmar. May the divine bless you and keep you. El Señor te bendiga

1:23:12It's perfect. Singing and shouting. Singing and shouting with my mind. I really forgot about some of this stuff, like that this stuff exists, like the fake rabbi, the queer morons, like are these real people? Is this real life? Remember that video 20 years ago, the kid who had his tooth taken out? Daddy, is this real life? Like that's what this is. these absurdly ridiculous buffoons. Send them all to Uganda. Well, see, this is exactly what you're talking about, how the left gets so crazy that the right is like, I can't anymore. Yeah, okay. Enough of this. Right. Which is such a shame. And I can't figure out, of all the people to hang your hat on, the guy's name is literally Kill.

1:23:58Kill. Kill. So, yeah, the left is crazier than ever. All right, we got some stuff on social issues. This is about to get good. Brown University made a deal with Trump to regain federal funding, which includes paying$50 million and scrapping affirmative action. Great. I mean, the Supreme Court already decided on that. Fantastic. Done. Oh, you're not going to choose people to come into your school based on race? Wow, welcome to 2025. Okay. Okay. Spot on lap four. You're coming up. Oh, that was a strange pause. Okay. So with that said, remember how we talked about how some of these red states are trying to blue proof?

1:24:40Yeah, I like this. So PragerU has created a test for teachers in Oklahoma that they have to take. It's called the America First test. So take a look. We've got a little video for you on this one. Love it. All right. So for anybody who's got teachers in their family in Oklahoma, this is a story you'll probably want to listen to because there are teachers that are relocating there from progressive states. who will now be evaluated on the America First agenda. Oklahoma as a state now is going to require new teachers pass an America First test to keep their license. They're going to have to have knowledge of the U.S.

1:25:21Constitution, an understanding of American exceptionalism, a grasp of fundamental biological differences between boys and girls. Perhaps for some, this sounds like common sense. I mean, you have to love the fact that it's like, understand the Constitution. That's pretty good. And then do you know the difference between boys and girls? I am completely for this. I love the fact that PragerU is involved with it. That is spectacular because otherwise all of the recently mugged and murdered and raped liberals will come down. They will vote the wrong way and they will destroy everything. That's why Florida is such a miracle because the liberals who have come down here have become the craziest red people.

1:26:01And that's why Miami is now like the most Republican stronghold in the country, even though it was blue 10 years ago. So that is great. That is wonderful. I hope more of that. I'm still telling DeSantis there should be an entry tax. We should still dig a moat and throw gators with lasers on their heads. I'm going to throw all of those things. You know what's interesting about that one, actually, is I had this fight on CNN, which I am getting to, of how immoral and evil Alligator Alcatraz was. But I had a friend, I didn't know this at the time when I got into this whole argument, because I argued that the cages would be far more offensive, built by Obama.

1:26:38My friend's like, you know that's where the National Guard used to stay, right? You think they just popped that up? He's like, it was good enough for our military, but we're really upset about people who are here illegally staying there. But we weren't worried when the Guard was staying there. We drove across Alligator Alley just a few days ago, and I should have stopped and taken the kids for a little time. A little visit. I know. Yeah. Okay, so there you have the PragerU situation. Oh, that's great. And mostly it's for teachers coming from California. Of course. It's like, do you know? Literally, what makes a boy, what makes a girl?

1:27:12You know, the chromosome conversation. Anyway, speaking of chromosomes, Nancy Pelosi is working hard to legalize sex changes for kids at the national level after Trump signed an order to protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation. I'm sure you're not surprised, but take a look. How is your office responding to the pauses in gender-affirming care here in California? Well, that is something that I'm working for at the national level, and we have, how can I say it, are hoping that we can have gender-affirming care for our trans kids. And that it's a sad thing for us. You know, let me try to do this in the most light.

1:28:05I said to you at the top, like, I'm trying, I don't want to add, especially on the day I'm back, I don't want to add to like all the hate and everything else. That's like kind of demon level stuff at this point. I was going to say, can I? Do you mind if I add to it? I kid you not, I showed it to the kids a couple times during the break. We watched Spidey in Friends. It's like a little animated thing. They're only three. It's really for like six-year-olds, so David doesn't want me showing it. Then we mostly do Bluey. But I show them Spider-Man, and they're both running around pretending to be, and then I got them a couple Spider-Man toys.

1:28:32So they're pretending to be Spider-Man and Green Goblin and Electro, whatever. And they'll be like, I'm Spider-Man, I'm Spider-Man. But it's a joke, and you can see the glimmer in their eyes. They know they're not Spider-Man. They know they're not Dr. Octopus. It's not to say whatever that percentage is and all the stuff. I hate making all the excuses. It's so boring. But for her to be like, we're going to try to nationalize that at this point. Lady, go away. What are you doing, lady? Go play with your grandchildren. Go sit with your stocks and watch your money go up every day. Just go away already.

1:29:06Enough of these demon people. I don't know how to describe it. If the world corrects itself ever, if the earth ever heals, we will look back. As Jordan calls, these are butchers, is what they have done to young children. That is not to say an adult can't dress however they want and blah, blah, blah. Yeah. But, ugh, evil. I can't believe it. I mean, still, does she still think that's a winner? You think that's a winner, lady? Here's my theory on this one. Obviously, Big Pharma is one of the biggest lobbies in Washington. It is a multibillion-dollar business with a compound annual growth rate of roughly 9%.

1:29:45So it's a huge industry. One drug alone, like Lupron off-label, which is an off-label cancer drug, right, that they're giving to kids is a multibillion-dollar business. I think that's what this is about, if I had to guess, because the data is there. We had the Cass review by Dr. Hilary Cass, one of the top pediatricians out of the United Kingdom, who spent four years doing a systematic review of every single study involving gender-affirming care. you've got Schellenberger releasing the WPATH files showing all of the corruption involved in this industry. Europe pulls back after the cast review and is like okay hold on we gotta rethink this whole gender affirming situation on kids.

1:30:28We know it sterilizes them. We know it causes sexual dysfunction for the rest of their life. It affects their bone development, their brain development, their teeth literally crack in their skull. It's like we know all of this. There's no This isn't like a, oh, I'm worried they're going to kill themselves. We already know actually they're more likely to kill themselves after being transitioned from the regret. So she's not an idiot. She might be a demon person, but she's not dumb, Dave. It's so interesting because it's hard to imagine. It's actually hard to imagine someone selling out at that level for money.

1:31:03Everyone makes compromises in life. Everyone, whatever. but like someone that would be like I'm going to literally like destroy the lives of if it's as simple in some sense is what you're saying right like that they're just looking at numbers right like it's probably like it's probably not much more complex than you're offering no it's not because because it's so obvious it's not I promise you no no I know so I'm with you on that but I just it would be hard to be in the mind like if we were sitting here truly with Nancy Pelosi and the camera wasn't going, is she really like, I really believe that these children, or is it really the numbers?

1:31:38And if it's the numbers, it's literally like the cash. Here'd be my question to you, though. If you're going to make a decision with consequences that severe and you're in a position that holds that kind of power, would you not be responsible enough to do the research? She's either a complete moron or she's on the take. So you get picked. Right, so that's why. There's no middle of the road here. It's not a guessing game. There's no plausible deniability. The information exists. So you tell me. I mean, I think that's why I quote him all the time. But about 10 years ago, when I heard my friend Pete Pagosian, who you probably know, say that, you know, when woke enters something, it destroys the entire institution.

1:32:24And that's what it's done to these people's brains. it's what Gad Saad calls the woke mind virus, that it actually then supersedes all the other logic and reason and everything else. And then so you end up like the because the best version of what we'd be saying about Pelosi is she's just misguided. But that just doesn't like there's just no way that computes. So you're right. It's either it's either you're like corrupt, evil, insane, something, something, or just you're just a sellout. And that's and I guess the easier answer is probably. There's just no way she could be. There's no plausible deniability anymore because the research exists, and you have a responsibility to do it.

1:33:01We're talking about kids. Not adults. It's also what's so dangerous about what they've done because it's like when you call someone racist that's not racist. You do it for so long that when you wake up, and then you're like, oh, maybe that person isn't racist. Well, you know now you're going to be called a racist. So they're all in on it. They're all in on it together. Okay, I got a question for you. Yes. What is more likely? Uh-oh. The New York Times gave me a fair shake in my op-ed, or CNN launched a national campaign to brand me as a racist. Oh, you made some news. That's nice. Well, I would say it's definitely possible the New York Times gave you a fair shake in an op-ed because they occasionally do that.

1:33:44What the New York Times always does is they lead with insanity, and then they suddenly throw something in that's sane so that the few people that have neurons firing stay subscribed, something like that. So that strikes me as very much what the New York Times might do. Interesting. And the other one was, did CNN launch a campaign to destroy you? That seems, yeah, that seems likely. Oh, my God, you've got it. I'm so alone. Yeah, that's, oh, that seems, I've been around the game a while, sister. Come on, what happened? So this is important because it ties back to this whole thing with Trump wanting to pull federal funding from the Smithsonian museums because of certain exhibits that we're going to get into in just a moment.

1:34:26But he wants to revisit some of these installations, some of these exhibits within the Smithsonian museums. And of course, the left has gone bananas on this, right? So I reach out. I'm going on CNN. And I must admit that I was warned by you. We should play that clip. That was in July. I was warned by Megyn Kelly as well. And, you know, it's like, but it is very, I don't regret it. It's a conversation that we need to have. CNN might obviously not be the forum where you're allowed to have it. I do think it's imperative that we bridge ideologies. We talk to the other side. that's clearly not the point of Abby Phillips' show on CNN.

1:35:10So nevertheless, this is coming up, right? So I get the list of topics, and one is the Smithsonian. And I know exactly where they're going to go, and I've just gotten back from Africa, by the way, D, so I'm out of the loop, like you are. And I'm like, oh, my God, I've got to jump back into this. I don't really know anything about this. And I reach out to the comms team at the White House. and I say like hey you know this is going to come up can you tell me like what is the goal here because it is the Smithsonian and I'm thinking like why are we revisiting I know nothing about what's in there nothing about what's controversial and they send me 50 pages okay and it's all just like woke exhibitions and not yeah yeah that seems banana pants so it's it's stuff like um a white culture poster that has subsequently been removed where it talks about how we're inherently aggressive.

1:36:00Oh, I remember that one. And we've got to win at all costs. It's stuff comparing George Floyd and Che Guevara to Jesus. It's stuff where they talk about Cuban immigration to the United States and they completely neglect to mention Castro and just make it about how the United States government backed Batista for their own financial gain and because of this white government did this and that's why Cubans left and that's what brought on the Cuban revolution. Don't even mention Castro one time. And then they get into gender testing in sports. Just all the stuff. So okay. So now this comes up and I know in my mind that they're going to try to pretend like it is about erasing slavery.

1:36:48And I know that there is not one installation that the administration has taken umbrage with that is about slavery. Now Trump has subsequently gone on to say, look, it's all about like bad guys, white bad guys and slavery, but why don't we have some good stuff in there too? So that kind of came out later. So here's what happened. Take a look. Yeah. Gone into the Smithsonian. He's effectively now has some random person deciding what is appropriate for the Smithsonian to teach in terms of American history, things that don't offend parts of the MAGA base, right? So we're now literally reviewing parts of American history and parts of American culture to make sure it comports with dear leader and what the MAGA organization wants.

1:37:33Can we address some of those things that are in there? Because have you looked at some of the things that are being reviewed? Yeah, slavery was a bad thing that was to talk about. He's not whitewashing slavery. He's not? He's not. No, he's not. And you cannot tie imperialism and racism and slavery to just one race, which is pretty much what every single exhibit does. You have a lot of stuff in front of you. Yeah, I do, because I don't, because here's the thing. What exactly are you talking about? Okay, I'll give you an example. Yeah, please. There's one called Change Your Game, right? This has been an installation there.

1:38:04Is gender testing fair in sports? Does that, and then it goes on to talk about how it's complex to do gender testing in sports. It's not complex. It's basic science. That's untrue. It's XX chromosome, XY chromosome. That's sports. Is it fair to have biological men competing against biological women in sports? No. But why is this in the Smithsonian? So it's been completely captured. First of all, I don't think we... And it's totally partisan. First of all, we don't have time to litigate all of this. Of course we don't, because then you're going to lose the argument. And if everything is racialized, just like you're trying to do to me now.

1:38:44So this took a bit of a turn. So here's what happened. So we're supposed to be in the middle of a conversation about the Smithsonian. So Julia Roginski is so smug. And I'm about to nail her because I know she's making the whole thing up about slavery. Because she has no idea what's even in there, right? So I'm like, no, he's not, with extreme confidence. And I'm like, by the way, sidebar, this has been going on for thousands of years. Like, stop demonizing just one race because nothing good is going to come out of that, right? So I'm about to list all the things you and I just talked about. And all of a sudden, Abby Phillip and Richie Torres go, I can't believe you're trying to re-litigate slavery in America.

1:39:25I go, I'm not. I just told you slavery's been around for thousands of years. And we continue. They're like, oh, this is a system of oppression. And now we're having two separate conversations, right? And I'm like, okay, am I talking about the Smithsonian stuff? And like, there's nothing about slavery in the Smithsonian? Or I'm sorry, the installations he's taking numbers with? and by the way let's talk about slavery so then i'm like all right you know what i'm ready to take this on because i come back from africa and there's nothing but really negative racial stories in the news and it's bad it's like a white woman who had a five-year-old black kid go through her back and she calls him the n-word and then raises like almost a million dollars online like in defense of herself and to try to relocate and then simultaneously you've got the thing in the movie theater where arguably children of an unknown race beat up with this professor.

1:40:17Then you've got like two white people who get the crap beat out of them by a black mob. That happened right before I went off. Okay, so you saw it. The Cincinnati Music Festival or something. Right. So for me personally, and this is a bit of a sidebar, not August news, but I've never in my lifetime seen racial issues this bad. and I think it is yeah because we're children of the 80s and we put all this shit down and these motherfuckers are trying to oh that was my first F-bomb, there you go, we're back baby, it's bad they're trying to rehash and bring back all of the stuff that we, yeah so at this point now I'm about to take it on, right, and I was like okay do you realize that less than 2 % and this is from the 1860 census, right, less than 2 % of white Americans own slaves and I'm about to continue on to say it ends up going in multiple directions and then I'm like this has been going on for thousands of years and if we were to continue litigating because you know the argument is well the entire south built their economy on it and despite that the north banned it people fought and died to maintain it and yes we have entire cemeteries of people who fought and died to end it it isn't about erasing slavery but where is the part about the good guys?

1:41:39Why is that always left out of the equation? Why are you not teaching young white kids about the good white guys that died to end this evil? So long story short, Abby Phillip and CNN launch a multi-week campaign in numerous episodes of her show to brand me as a racist. She then goes on Kara Swisher's podcast and lies. And she's like, I don't know we were just having a conversation about the arts and she just brings this up and I had to educate her and my whole show about the history of slavery and she goes on to talk about how I defended white people in a slavery debate and relitigate slavery in America despite the fact that I said I'm not twice on her show and that this has been going on for thousands of years.

1:42:31And this is all going bananas viral and all this stuff. All going bananas viral of course like everybody on the right comes out, you know, and like, thank God you said something. It's about time we said something. Everybody on the left, oh, she's a racist, and somebody should call DCFS because she has a black kid. And I'm like, this is insane. And, Dee, it's so bad right now in the country, and I've got some other clips for you of it, but it's... Let me just give you one take on Abby Phillips. I don't know if you've heard me talk about her before, but I genuinely... I don't know, I must have said this to you because I was warning you about going on her show.

1:43:02You did warn me. She is, without question, the dumbest person on television. There is nothing behind her eyes. She's an idiot who can read off a teleprompter somewhat appropriately, and then she looks like a deer in headlights the entire time until either someone tells her to say something or she throws a commercial. We started with cogs in the system. She is a cog in the system. They gave her that chair, and they will take away that chair as quickly as they gave it to her one day, and then she'll sue them for being racist. That's how this game and the script is written. You know that prior to this, on the episode of her show that I did about the kids at the marijuana farm, do you know she flat out lied on her show and said that it was legal for minors to work at a marijuana farm?

1:43:45That was a few days, yeah. I'm like, I don't think so. Yes, it is. Of course, it's absolutely not. Do you think they issued a correction? We covered that a few days before I left, and I paused the show. I said to one of the guys, could we just Google that? I'm pretty sure that illegal kids can't work at... They are not allowed to work at a marijuana farm. But she drilled down on it. She absolutely insisted. She contradicted and corrected me, despite the fact that I was right. Did no correction or apology after the fact. Like, we were wrong. Actually, minors are not allowed to work at a marijuana farm.

1:44:18But... Well, good for you, Go and Violet. Can I, for one second, try the meta version of what's happening here, which is that you represent the... You know, you're like sort of, in this case, You're like the avatar for the new media. And because we're still in this fight between old and new media, and it doesn't mean that all the new media is good either, but because these things are now so disconnected, what they try to do is they try to then bring on new media people into old media formats. And it doesn't work, right? Because you have very scripted people with things in their ears, being told what to say, reading things.

1:44:48And then you have people like you who are thoughtful and interesting and show nuance, who know what they're doing. so it's as if the ingredient doesn't work with the overall what you're trying to bake, basically. It seemed pretty deliberate, though, Dave. Oh, it is deliberate. She flat out lied multiple times. Of course it's deliberate. Like, the conversation of we were just having a talk about the arts, Julia Roginski just called parts of the MAGA base racist, made the dear leader, like, Nazi Kim Jong-un reference to Trump, and then said slavery's bad, we should talk about it. A conversation about the arts and then claim that I brought it up and lied numerous times about it.

1:45:28This is the stuff we were talking about earlier with how do you handle these things with the legacy media. I'm working through that now, but I guarantee I'm not letting everybody get away with it. That's all I'm going to say right now. As John McClane said in Die Hard, welcome to the party, pal. I guess so. But it's a fight I'm here for, for sure. And the last thing I want to say about this, truthfully, is that as a mom to a white boy and a black girl, this stuff distresses me. Yeah. I would say, honestly, more than anything going on in our culture right now. And I see young boys my son's age leaning towards things that are very far right.

1:46:11And, you know, the Tate brothers, Nick Fuentes. that's deeply alarming to me and the more you demonize these young boys not my son, but I hear about it he tells me about it the more you demonize these kids the more you're going to breed a whole new generation of racists do you remember, we've shown it on my show many times there's a clip of Jordan on Rogan Jordan Peterson obviously on Rogan from probably about 8 years ago and it's at the height of it was almost before we called it woke so it's like early woke identity politics and Jordan says, maybe we'll play it on my show tomorrow, Jordan says, wait till you see what the reaction will be of young white boys who will grow up in this situation.

1:46:53It's so true. And again, so everything, whatever people think the excesses are of the right, it's because the left never knows when they've gone too far. They have created the condition, they own the culture, and then they created the conditions to then tell young, I can only imagine being the parent, the mother of a 14-year-old, how old did you say your son? He's 13. He's 13, a 13-year-old kid who's grown up in a culture that said you're bad because of your skin color, you're bad because of your sexuality, your gender, all these things. These boys are leaning, Dave, not, again, like Phoenix has, my son Phoenix, your Phoenix, has like a healthy sense of the center, and you know, he leans into the Sean Ryans and the Joe Rogans of the world, which is great, but the friends, some of them are leaning very far right and it's it's very concerning and you're seeing high schools in the middle of the country take back the name of Robert E.

1:47:50Lee and bring back the confederate flag and I don't think it's because these kids are like clan members I think it's just a giant FU to this whole kind of demonization of these young white boys and And simultaneously, I have a black daughter being raised by all white people. It wasn't on purpose. Haiti was a country that was open while I was adopting internationally. Long story short, why do I want my daughter to think all white people are bad? I absolutely do not want her to think that. In fact, I bought her on this one trip, and then we'll get back to the news. We were in New Orleans one summer when she was probably eight.

1:48:26And I bought her the diary of a Union soldier from one of those antique stores from 1861. It's the coolest thing in the world, Dave. It's like handwritten. And I always wanted her to know, as much darkness as there is in the world, there are still good guys. And at the end of the day, like, I will stand by it. Like, there are good guys that fought to end this, and I want my daughter to know, not all white people are bad. In fact, the vast majority are good. So that's the latest. You are controversial. Oh, aren't I? Well, congratulations, you know, getting in the fray and having Abby go after you and the rest of it.

1:49:06So there we go. Okay, so now, moving on. Yes. Okay, this is good news. Trump Economy, the Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, announces that Canada will be dropping their retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. and removing tariffs on U.S. goods covered by existing trade deals. Got a video on it. Let's take a look. Let's be absolutely clear. Canada currently has the best trade deal with the United States. And while it's different from what we had before, it is still better than that of any other country. So as we work to address outstanding trade issues with the United States, it's important, it's vital.

1:49:49We do everything we can to preserve this unique advantage for Canadian workers, Canadian businesses. In this context, and consistent with Canada's commitment to KUSMA, I'm announcing today that the Canadian government will now match, we will now match the United States by removing all of Canada's tariffs on U.S. goods, specifically covered under KUSMA. Wow, progress. Yeah, surprise, surprise. again. I mean, that's just one of the ones that I was like, yes, David Sachs, I like the line. We have to just see where all the deals land. And yes, congratulations. Now you can buy cheese in Canada from America without a 30 % tariff so that nobody was buying American cheese.

1:50:32And it seems like he's trying to save face a little bit. Okay, good. Yes, good. Everyone. Yeah, great. Okay. Okay. We got a lot to cover on this one. So I got to be a bit more rapid fire here. So where did we leave you on this whole redistricting chaos? I think literally the last day I was leaving, there was just like a bunch of stories breaking on, was it Texas and California? Yes, so the Democrats left and Beto O 'Rourke tried to fund their ability to leave and now Ken Paxton is investigating that as though it's like bribery and they're trying to shut down the organization that they've used to fund these Democrats' ability.

1:51:13Long story short, they get the five seats. Okay? So that's where that's at. Wait, the Republicans got the five seats in Texas? Okay. Okay, they got the five seats. In response to that... Oh, hold on. This is important. A Texas state rep, Jolanda Jones, who fled the state to Illinois, so she fled Texas to Illinois to try to avoid their ability to convene everybody and get the seats. She compared it to the Holocaust. Of course. She compared the redistricting to the Holocaust. So, I mean, just because... Yeah, the concentration camps were just a mild redistricting. Yeah. Okay. Then J.D. Vance says if we did the census anew right now, we'd have 10 additional Republican seats and nine fewer Democratic seats.

1:51:57There's a video, but that's basically the gist of it. Okay. Okay, now here's where it gets crazy. Our favorite person, Gavin Newsom, steps up to the plate. And long story short, he puts forward this thing called Prop 50, because California has this whole independent commission against gerrymandering particularly, right? So he says, I want to put forward this Proposition 50 to take them out of the equation, and I'm going to respond to what Texas is doing, and I want 7 % representation for Republicans. now we have 17 i think percent and i think 38 percent of californians are republicans okay so this is gone bananas uh california already has 43 democratic seats only nine republican seats um he's on fire with this and he's like daring trump to come after him it doesn't look like the Republicans are going to be able to block this Proposition 50 vote in November.

1:53:02So now they're in a war over who's gerrymandering worse. I kind of hate this across the board. My general take would be both sides are going to do it. Obviously, I can't speak to the specifics of things that happened when I was gone, but both sides are going to do it, and he has a supermajority, and it just is what it is, and let's not belabor the point of California. Yeah, so that's good. Neither one of us live there anymore. Well, they're all now going to do it. So you kind of nailed it. Missouri is going to redraw their map and it just goes on and on and on and on and on. OK, now then. Twenty twenty eight buzz.

1:53:36Trump tells Peter Dose that the heir to MAGA, maybe J.D. Vance, maybe Marco Rubio. Maybe they'll come together. Take a look. You said this morning that you probably won't be running for a third term. This weekend, Secretary of State Rubio said that he thought J.D. Vance would be a great nominee. You could clear the entire Republican field right now. Do you agree that the heir apparent to MAGA is J.D. Vance? Well, I think most likely, in all fairness, he's the vice president. I think Marco is also somebody that maybe would get together with J.D. in some form. It's a great answer. It's honest. It's true.

1:54:16And if it was Rubio and J.D. or J.D. and Rubio, no, it would be J.D. and Rubio because I don't think they would switch it the other way, but it would be great. I'd like to see Tulsi in that mix. No, no, no, of course I'd love to see Tulsi. But there's a lot of good choices on that side. No, but maybe Tulsi goes to Secretary of State at that point. Like, you just never know. It's a little early to talk about any of that. I kind of, we could punt that one, but like, yes, they have a great bench and good people who are competent and could lead the country again. That would be perfectly lovely. So here's something strange.

1:54:43Gavin Newsom has become Donald Trump. Actually, you cannot make this up. He's tweeting like him. He's making merch like him. He's got a couple of kids that he hired, and they just copy verbatim, literally, every single thing that Trump does. It's super-duper bizarre. And, for example, Gavin Newsom copies his MAGA hat and says, new merch coming soon. You're welcome, patriots. It's like all caps. He's been trolling people. Newsom was right about everything. What? He's never been right about anything. Yeah, I get it. I get it. The weird thing is like he's trying to become Donald Trump. But you can't fake becoming Trump.

1:55:28That's the thing. You can't fake it. That's what's crazy. Keep going, man. Keep going. Is that there's nothing authentic about it. Like it's all performative theater. Meanwhile, not one home on PCH has been rebuilt. Yep. Corolla posts these updates and it's like, not one home, not one construction crew. And this guy is... Anyway, him and Trump have been doing their usual kind of pissing match and shenanigans and Newsom held a reckoning day. What is it? Independence Day about the gerrymandering news conference. And then Trump had an ice raid there and kind of same old, same old. Yeah, kind of the same shit.

1:56:09Yeah, see, okay. All right, now, this is great. Okay. DeSantis announced Hulk Hogan Appreciation Day. Love it, love it. When is it, when is it? Okay, take a look. Today in the state of Florida, I've declared to be Hulk Hogan Appreciation Day.

1:56:29And recognition of somebody who was obviously a major figure for many, many decades, particularly for kids, people in my generation was a big, big guy. and was right there in the Tampa Bay area for many, many decades. So all I'll tell you is make sure on this day that you're training, saying your prayers, and eating your vitamins, brother, because he would have wanted you to do that. I love that. I know it's a bit of a throwaway, but I love it. Probably like you, I've met so many people that I would have ever wanted to meet or heroes. I met Hogan once, got to spend an hour with him, just me, him, and Jimmy Hart, who was his manager, wrestling manager.

1:57:08and we got like an hour together and he gave me a big headlock. I have a picture of it. That's awesome. And he was just a great human being and to see the way I was at MSG at the rally, the Trump rally that he came out of, that was to me the most, yeah, it's awesome. Yeah, he passed right before I went off the grid. That's a sad one. Even better news. Great. DeSantis is looking to end property tax. So is it going to happen? I mean, they've been fighting for it. We have this ridiculous... He says he's going to do it and there's a video. Why do you want to, should we talk about it? We can probably let it go.

1:57:35Okay, so the long story short is he's basically worried who've retired that can no longer afford it. And he goes on to say, like, they just continue to pay this every single year. And it's like, it's crippling. No, you end up punishing people that live here. Meanwhile, we have the number one record tourism for the last five years or something every year in Florida. So if you need the revenue, which it's not even clear that we need the revenue because we're such a well-run state. But if you need the revenue, you could charge a little more in taxes for all the tourism stuff offsetting the property tax.

1:58:06Because if you allow people to buy your home, you don't have to pay taxes on the value of that land forever, then they can reinvest more in their home. I hope he can get it through. It's been a big fight here. It'd be amazing if he did. Anyway, I'm impressed. I mean, he's actually focused on running his state. Isn't that crazy? It's nuts. I know, no merch, just trying to run the state. That's where I live. So this one's, I got to show you this because this is so friggin bananas. So Mark Carney went to a Vancouver Pride parade. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Anything to say?

1:58:47I

1:58:51Yeah. Where was Trudeau? Where was Trudeau? I don't know really. Was that Trudeau? Maybe I need to see the picture. Did he shave his head? I've been out of the game for a while. Like it's all just so ridiculous. dude like for the naked guy it's like dude go live your life but you're not helping you're not you want you want gay people to be treated okay and fairly and all those things you people are actually doing the reverse of all that and the pandering ridiculous like who in carny circle was like hug that guy put that up again for a sec like i know now our youtube channel is gonna get deleted yeah i'll come back nobody wants to see that who did that guy actually think boy people want to see that.

1:59:28Do you remember the picture of Biden on the White House lawn with the transgender individual with the boobs sticking out and everything? This to me obviously bothers me for the same reason it bothers you. It's like you wouldn't want this from anybody. No adult should be naked on the street in front of kids. I don't care what your orientation is. It's inappropriate and it's counterintuitive. Here's a perfect example of how in my opinion. Nancy Mace launched a bid for governor of South Carolina, and Marsha Blackburn announced she's going to run for governor in Tennessee. There's no video on this.

2:00:06It's just like, what I don't love is Marsha Blackburn's not for gay marriage. Is she not? I've interviewed her a couple times. I don't think so. I would bring it up with her next time. I think she's not, and pretty aggressively not. Anyone can have whatever their own religious and personal philosophical belief is I don't think that should supersede someone another citizen's right to engage in a relationship that they wish to engage in and I think the ship has really sailed on that so I wouldn't I hope so I wouldn't really well certainly at a governor level a governor has no ability to do anything about that but here's the concern I mean I'll try to be quick is like I think you saw there they there was some worry they were going to try to bring up gay marriage in the Supreme Court it turned out to be a nothing burger it had to do it like long story short the Supreme Court didn't agree to hear this case yet.

2:00:55It had to do with this woman's freedom of speech, I think, and religion, not necessarily relitigating gay marriage, but the concern is that it could come up. And then, like, what if it gets kicked back to the States? And if it does, you know, what kind of influence? At the end of the day, we have equal protection under the law that's guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States. Marriage, in and of itself, is not in the Constitution. So if you're going to say that straight people can get married, then gay people can get married. All right, we'll keep it rolling. All right, here we go. August 11th, it was revealed that a former Democrat Intelligence Committee staffer turned whistleblower told the FBI in 2017 that Adam Schiff personally approved leaking classified information on Russia to smear President Trump.

2:01:34We probably should have had this earlier, but there you go. Okay, throw it away, okay. All right. Oh, we're jumping forward to, okay, we got the beta or work stuff, blah, blah, blah, with the taxes, uh-huh. Oh, this is important. You should know this. President Trump took a victory lap over the corrupt New York Attorney General Letitia James. The whole foreign...

2:01:57It was excessive and punitive. Yeah. So that's out. Good. You want to see Joy Reid talking about how white people are scumbags? No. Are you going to skip it? Yeah. I want new things. Oh. That's just, that's old. So funny when that happened. Joy Reid called somebody racist. All of us. We're all racist. All of our ancestors. I like this. Let's see if you can just keep shopping. Okay. I know something really moves you. Okay. Omar Fateh. Oh, yeah. So this guy, he's the Somali pirate no more. So the Dems actually pulled out of their support for this guy because they think that the race was rigged, citing missing ballots and insecure election machines.

2:02:41So here's Minneapolis Mayor Frey. Take a look. So they're bringing Frey back? That's hilarious. It's not a scenario where you need to take my word for it. It's actually insane. As the state party said, and as the investigation showed, this was a process that was rife with errors and misconduct. Hundreds of people didn't get counted out of hundreds of votes in total. There was an entire ward where nobody knew who the ward delegates were. The whole thing went missing. I don't know. We still don't know exactly how they became to the determination based on that ward.

2:03:21the data itself was given to the other campaigns and they were allowed to edit it. I mean, okay, fine. The Somali pirates got, but they have this guy still, who's just like a pathetic, progressive, pandering putt. He gets worse in a minute. But real quick, because I can't remember if it's somewhere on the ground here, Mamdani continues to grow in New York. And Warren basically came out. Senator Warren was like, this is the future of the party. Of course. There's no bulwark against it. And I'm telling you, the thing that I'm afraid of with him, the thing that I'm afraid of is he's going to win and they're going to fake it for a year.

2:03:59Socialism can be faked for a year, because the Democrats turn on the violence when they want and they shut it off, so they'll stop at the craziness. The government-run grocery stores, they'll work for about a year until the workers start realizing they have no skin in the game and then the system fails. But the question is, does it scale at that year? Meaning, do people are looking at it like in that year and then being like, okay, bring it to Minneapolis, bring it to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and everything. I mean, we've done this before. We did it in the 70s, and it was an abject failure.

2:04:25So I'm sure you caught the video of him saying, like, he wants to seize production, and he doesn't believe in prisons, and there's no need for personal property. You didn't miss any of those comments. Didn't miss any of that. I'm still curious, though. He's a big, he keeps, he's marching out there with the queers and the LGBTQs and everything. And for some reason, I'm guessing that his mosque does not do gay marriages. And I just wish someone would ask him a question about why he would attend such a bigoted religious institution But nobody wants to bring that up if only there was a journalist in America I don't disagree with you.

2:04:58There is a video of him needing a spot to do two reps of the bench press I guess trying to imply that he's a soy boy, but the long story sure is Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. Yeah! Let me get one more, let me get one. One, two. Let me get three! Let me get three! Let me get three, yeah! All I'm going to tell you is... You really could barf in your government-run shoes, couldn't you? Yeah, he's going to win. He's going to win, I think, D. Goodbye, New York. Sad news there. So, John Bolton. Okay, now you don't know anything about this one, right? Did he shave his mustache? No. Oh, okay.

2:05:35So this one's been pretty controversial. Federal agent raided his home in Maryland. And of course, for anybody who's not aware, he's Trump's former national security advisor. Take a look.

2:05:50We're back with the Fox News alert. We're just learning, learning the FBI agents have raided the Maryland home of former Trump national security advisor, John Bolton. It happened at 7 a.m. this morning shortly after the raid began fbi director cash patel posting on x quote no one is above the law fbi agents on a mission it is intriguing here because these are long-standing allegations that the book indicated were reference classified material that he may have acquired when he was in the administration we're not clear as to what that is but it would suggest that it could be national defense information.

2:06:28Okay, so here's basically what happened. He wrote a book. The rumor it happened, right, and it had to do with the 17 months he spent in the job for Trump. Long story short, the accusation is that he has classified documents that he sent on a private server to his wife and his daughter. Initially, I guess the Trump administration in 2020 had tried to block this. The Biden administration continued the investigation and then, I guess, put it to bed. Nobody really knows why they put it to bed. Kash Patel has just revived it. Trump says he knows nothing about it. The scandals are as follows. Are we weaponizing?

2:07:09You know, the same old, same old. Are we weaponizing it? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I mean, I kind of remember when the book came out and people were saying, was he allowed to write some of this stuff? But it all goes through. I'm sure it was published by Penguin or Somebody Huge or Simon Schutzer. It all goes through layers of security. He said he had permission from this woman from the ARC who was in charge of classification. It's a bit muddy to be honest. We really don't know what's going on but that's the big question is this is unprecedented. How is it unprecedented? Didn't we just do this in Mar-a-Lago?

2:07:40What's unprecedented? Also, I know plenty of people who were in former government positions who've written books and I've talked to several of him about it. You have to go through a process to figure out what's allowed... So the concern is obviously Trump's vindictive. He's going after old enemies. He's weaponizing the FBI and the DOJ. The usual game. It is weird. I don't know yet. I guess we're going to find out if something happened, but that's the concern. Well, as we've sort of had a theme here, no one pays the price for anything, so Bolton will be fine too. So that's kind of it there. FBI raided the home.

2:08:17of blah, blah, blah, John Bolton. Yeah, you got it. Okay. He's 76. I guess he wanted to know that. Oh, here it is. Bolton claimed that Knight gave him verbal approval to publish the book, even while a supplemental review was going on. So I guess this is the woman who's in charge of these classifications. Nothing's going to come of this. Nothing's going to come of this. Nothing. Okay. This sucks. This is sad, and it's making really big news. And so an individual who I guess is allegedly transgender named Robin Westman shot and killed two kids and injured 17 others at a Catholic school during a mass in Minneapolis.

2:09:00Okay, now new evidence is emerging that this suspected shooter appeared to be psychotic. Manic 22 year old young man Possibly trans Who left an 11 minute manifesto video On YouTube just hours before the shooting The suspect wrote notes On the weapons he used Including kill Trump now McVeigh Where is your God Burn Israel Six million was not enough He had a human shaped target With Jesus' face attached to it Now this of course Has begotten crazy culture wars over the transgender people right so that whole thing has begun and then simultaneously you've got fray um who take a look at this and then make your own opinion okay we'll discuss it i don't even want to set it up yet can you guys toss up that video of fray for me please don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now these kids were literally praying.

2:10:00It was the first week of school. They were in a church. These are kids that should be learning with their friends. They should be playing on the playground. They should be able to go to school or church in peace without the fear or risk of violence, and their parents should have the same kind of assurance. So it wasn't just him. Newsom put out a tweet saying, quote, these children were literally praying as they got shot at. Now, as I'm sure you can imagine, the Michael Knowles, the Charlie Kirks, this is an attack on prayer, this is an attack on Christians, this is evil. I certainly don't understand why those comments were made.

2:10:47Well, it was an attack on a Catholic school, is that correct? Yeah. Yeah. So, okay, So there's some element of that, but that's secondary to what likely was massive psychological distress or whatever you want to call it, that this boy, I guess, who thought he was a girl, was like, how about we talk about psychological health and drugs and all of the others? Or getting security guards at the schools, because, you know, of course, it's going to be like, oh, my God, the gun laws. How about you put armed guards at the schools? Right. Which, you know, look, that's a slippery slope, too, because then we just are.

2:11:21Well, it's a slippery slope in that we then are like sort of training our children to just be around. I'm more for that. I wanted my daughter school here. No, I know. I loved it. I know. It's awesome. No, no, no. But without fully like litigating that, like there is something about children having to then be around armed five-year-olds walking to schools and seeing, you know, in effect soldiers at the doors. There's some conversation around that. But all of these things always boil down to mental health and everything else. The video that probably got me the craziest in the last five years, do you remember that Texas Uvalde shooting where they, I mean, it's hard to remember any of these at this point, but somebody went in and shot like 17 kindergartners, basically all elementary school kids.

2:11:59And then Joy Reid went on TV that night and said, this is not a mental health issue. It's a gun issue. And it's like, it's so, that's a mental health issue to say that. Because if you go in and kill innocent children, you obviously have a mental health issue. You don't need a doctor to diagnose you with that. So all of these things are much more about mental health and likely prescription drugs. And the other problem is that with the manifesto stuff and putting all that stuff out, it incentivizes people to put out crazy things. It doesn't mean that he believed any of that stuff. It just, they put out, there's a game.

2:12:35There's like a butterfly effect in a game that's being played. I'm going to put up a YouTube video. I'm going to write these crazy things. all of that fits into the psychological screwiness of everything so but i can see this this probably has all this is all of the cultural markings oh yeah it's like a broad attack on the trans community which is counterproductive instead of it like okay this guy's mentally insane right and then it's like oh god they're attacking the christianity is under assault which i mean honestly it kind of is but i don't think that's what was happening here but who knows why say it why not address policy why would you go after these kids were literally playing what are you trying to say that prayer is in effect like i don't it was people were really right people who don't believe in prayer suddenly like making it about prayer is kind of gross that's the right that did not go over well which is so bizarre um it's about it's mental health it's mental health hard right turn for you okay okay you're running out of paper if you had to guess What object has been repeatedly thrown on a WNBA court?

2:13:44Oh, dildo. It's got to be a dildo. How did you know that? Well, because a few days before I left, the green dildo. Wait, the green dildos. What, dildos? More dildos? Yeah, lots more dildos. I mean, I have three videos. Do we have three videos of a dildo? Let's see the dildo.

2:14:04Got a whistle away from the basketball. It's a green dildo again. So there's something interesting about the green dildo. Is this going to be a green dildo? I think there's a purple one. Oh, that's green. There's definitely a purple one in there. She just kicked the crap out of that dildo. Yeah. And tatted the other girl on the ass with another dildo. This guy had three quick turnovers. Is that purple? Purple. Purple.

2:14:33Wow. Well, uh... I've never seen those in neon colors. I guess I've... I don't... Yeah, I usually thought it was, like, skin tones, but I... Okay. Hold on. I do have a good video, though. I'd like to show you this one. CNN anchor led off of a segment about a crackdown on dildos. I... Can we show that one? The WNBA is cracking down on dildos being thrown onto the court during games. The sex toys have shown up six different times from Atlanta to L.A., posing a risk to players. It's ridiculous. It's dumb. It's horny. It's stupid. It's also dangerous. And, you know, player safety is number one. Respecting the game, all those things.

2:15:22I think it's really stupid. So what is this? Who's responsible for starting this trend? apparently a crypto meme group, which calls them pranks. But those pranks have so far resulted in two arrests. And it raises the debate. Is it a sexist stunt? Is it some sort of rite of passage that every league experiences something like this? What is going on? What is? I'd watch a lot of NBA games in my day. I don't remember a dildo being thrown. I don't know what Is it a rite of passage? What? Dildo aside. The NYPD is on a manhunt for a WNBA dildo throwing suspect in a Beavis and Butthead shirt. Can't make this up.

2:16:04I thought you'd enjoy that. Come on now. But I love how the players have to, someone's going to get hurt. The dildo is going to take them out. Oh my god. Okay, other than me, somebody else has been branded a racist. Do you know who? Do I know them? You certainly do. It's rarefied air. Yes. One guess, it's a girl. It's a girl that I know that was called her? Well, you would know of her for sure. I know of her, but I don't know. You definitely, definitely, definitely. Give me more than she's a girl. Give me some. Really pretty girl. A very pretty girl that I may. How about Riley Gaines? Sydney. Oh, Sydney.

2:16:38Well, she was, yeah. Well, they were saying she was a racist before. She's a racist? Because she has boobs or something, right? Well, no, no. It was her jeans ad. Yeah. Her American Eagles jeans ad. Oh, you saw this ad? Yeah. What? What? Okay, you know this whole thing? Maybe they double, yeah, well, they did the ad. She wore the jeans. I've got good jeans. I've got good jeans. He knows this one. That was July. That was July. Set me up, Phoenix. Someone's getting fired. Okay. All right. Yeah. So. Yeah. Didn't see the apology. Oh, there's an apology. Who apologized? They didn't apologize. They didn't.

2:17:06Oh, yeah. Oh, and they did? Oh, good. They shouldn't have apologized. Oh, I was like, somebody apologized? Yeah. All right. Nobody apologized. Okay, Trump applauded American Eagle and Sidney Sweeney, who's a registered Republican. and then he bashed Bud Light and Jaguar. Okay, here's his post right here. She's got the hottest ad out there. Woke ad disaster. Look at woke singer Taylor Swift. I don't really know. That's interesting that he went after Bud Light still because they've really put a lot of money into UFC and other stuff to try to make up for what they've done. So that's interesting. But okay, all right.

2:17:41Okay, well, then in response to all of this, Just a quick sidebar, Taylor Swift is engaged to Travis Kelsey. Yeah, that happened. Oh, is that new? I mean, I've been dating forever. I don't know. And if you wonder, they're engaged. Okay. This is the thing. Are you ready? Cracker Barrel rebranded the logo and lost like$100 gazillion, trillion, bazillion dollars overnight. I'm trying. The logo was like a barrel. Oh, it was a barrel. right? It used to be just a barrel. Yeah, with a white guy named Uncle Herschel. I couldn't quite figure this out. I wasn't sure if Uncle Herschel was like a slave owner, and that's why they did this.

2:18:27In fact, there is no reference to slavery here whatsoever. And the cracker barrel is because people would eat soda crackers around a porch that were packed in a barrel, and Uncle Herschel is just, I guess, a fictional character but because it's nostalgic of the south with the guy on a porch so they rebranded the whole thing and then everybody was pissed and it tanked so go woke, go broke Crackle Barrel, CEO Julie Fells, Messina's decision to decolonize the company the one thing I can say is around 1996 I was driving up to, I went to SUNY Binghamton and I stopped somewhere near Poughkeepsie, if I'm not mistaken, at a Cracker Barrel and I had the most delicious, fully loaded baked potato I'd ever had in my life.

2:19:22They put salt and pepper on the outside of the potato, which I now do, and it's delicious. So, yeah, that was a mess. That was like a Bud Light kind of a mess. But like, you get these white women that just keep tanking these companies. Right, they'd never step foot into Cracker Barrel, but they'd get off destroying it. They're these Ivy League-educated white liberals, and they just tank these companies one for another. Like a Victoria's Secret. They need a dildo. That's the truth. I don't disagree with you. Like, get a dildo, lady. Oh, my God, I know. Okay, some interesting. I wonder what you'll think about this one.

2:20:01After many years, Howard Stern is canceled. His contract is not going to be renewed. Wow.

2:20:12Wow. That actually strikes me as the biggest news of the entire month in some weird way. Wow. Isn't that weird? I'm not surprised. Are you really? Well, I mean, his, you know, ideologically, watching his descent into like woke madness and COVID has been really disappointing. You know, I'm from New York. Like I used to listen to him on 92.3 and I and I still remember him going to satellite. and it was all about freedom and I read private parts and the movie is spectacular and fighting the system and WNBC and the entire thing like his story is so great and he was fighting the power the entire time and then he became like such an avatar for the power and I had a show on Sirius XM and I always wanted to meet him so desperately and I used to have dreams all the time that I was on his show that was like the one thing when my first book came out that I requested from my press people was to get on Howard Stern it didn't happen that was the only thing that I asked for But then watching his, you know, all that stuff has been disappointing.

2:21:13I guess at some point you just can't pay him anymore, right? The guy's been making satellite radio. It doesn't really make sense. I don't know if you've heard of the Internet. I think that's part of it. I think it's also a lot of the supposedly the Trump arrangement stuff has turned off a lot of his audience. Yeah, I mean, his audience was edgy. Oh, I loved him. I never liked him. And you know what I remember about him? You didn't like the crassness? I liked the fight and the fighting the power thing. I loved fighting the executives and making fun of them all the time. You know what used to bother me?

2:21:42It was like Letterman, sort of. Here's the irony, by the way. Some of the crazier stuff that Trump said about, like, you know, teenage Miss America and, like, walking into these rooms, I think he said that on Howard Stern's show. And Howard didn't release the audio of it. Do you remember that? Yep. Yeah. Yes. And with that said, though, if you go back to a super early Howard Stern, do you remember, like, a New Year's special where he would have women? Oh, he did insane things. I mean, he'd be in blackface auctioning people off. Yeah, they hated that. They hated it. I remember. And it's like he'd take these girls who were super vulnerable and humiliate them for a boob job.

2:22:15I never liked them. Well, putting aside whether you like them or not, even putting, like, whether that doesn't even, in some sense, it's like the bigger story is that this guy who's been an icon. You're right. You're right. I'm just saying. I didn't like him. I'm not sorry. Yeah, no, no, no. Trust me. I never forgot that. I haven't listened to him in 20 years. He turned into, like, some sort of a hero. But I never forgot that stuff. I was really young, I remember, and thinking, like, this is so gross. I remember he did some blackface thing with Sherman Helmsley. He's like, you know, George Jefferson.

2:22:42He's no angel, this guy. Like, anyway. He'll be okay. He'll be okay. Okay, Charlie Kirk has been featured on South Park. Oh, I think that happened. You caught that? I think a clip leaked of that the day I left, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah. Oh, my God. What makes you think you have the right to say what I do with my body? Let me ask you something. If a pregnant woman is killed and the baby dies too. The day I left. All right, this video. Okay, Greg Gutfeld went on Jimmy Fallon. oh that so I think this must happen right at the beginning of the month right because I think I heard it was okay so I think I heard it was gonna happen maybe something like that yeah I kind of watched it how'd it go we got anything or just awkward I'll be on I thought it was awkward Greg was super sweet and he tells this really long story about how we'd met Jimmy Fallon before and Jimmy was super drunk and like crushed a cigarette then bought him a new cigarette and And then they went to another, I don't know, it was awkward.

2:23:35And Fallon had no memory of any of it. And Fallon's like, oh, yeah, huh, yeah, uh-huh. It was very bizarre. Right, because Fallon's not like a person. He's just an entertainer where Greg's being a human. There was kind of a sweet moment in there where I guess Gutfeld says he goes to light a smoke. And Fallon's like wasted and crumbles up his cigarette, which is something I would do. And he's like, these will kill you. And Gutfeld's like, I'm poor and you just crushed my cigarette. And I guess Fallon bought him a pack of cigarettes. Gutfeld's like, you're trying to kill me. Here's what I did like about that.

2:24:07We're really at the end here. I know. What a weird month. What I loved about that is I think the right and the left need to talk more. So I loved that, actually. Because the left doesn't engage. Well, it's sort of like you going on CNN. We need some arbitrage. As crazy as it is, at some level, you need an arbitrage between old and new media. And Gutfeld balances old and new really well. Well, but that was amicable. It was definitely like an attempt to build good communication and bridge ideologies. CNN was not quite that. August 9th, Disney Lucasfilms is set to settle the Gina Carano lawsuit, and they signaled a desire to work with her again.

2:24:49She was fired from The Mandalorian over posts comparing being a Republican in the U.S. to being Jewish during the Holocaust. We've got to stop making these Holocaust comparisons. Yeah, I mean, I thought you said something about Disney and something. I thought you were going to say something about, like, they sold Star Wars, which would be amazing. But, okay, fine, move on. Who cares? No. If I could just throw out, like, maybe just don't bring up the Holocaust. Like, yeah. That would be a mistake. Okay, August 12th, the UFC signs a$7.7 billion deal with Paramount to add UFC events to Paramount Plus.

2:25:21Streaming services in 2026, eliminating the pay-per-view model. Yeah. Interesting. Dana's built that thing into just an absolute juggernaut. It's not really my thing, but I think it's incredible what he's done. Oh, I see. I love it. But, you know, I grew up in it. Okay, moving swiftly onward. More of the same here. No dildos, but 32 NFL teams will be stenciling a social justice message in their hands. What? It's coming back. Are you kidding me? No. Stop hate and choose love, Dave. I mean, I'm shocked. Takes all of us. For anyone that thought Woke was dead, I mean, it's just recalibrating in front of our eyes.

2:25:59I'm saying this. No one's listening. That's utterly shocking to me. It's the farthest thing from dead. It's like morphing into something new and improved. Yes, if they etch it into the end zone, that would help. Okay, we've got a couple of male cheerleaders. Louis Kahn. Wait, that's a male? Yeah.

2:26:30I mean, he's a good dancer. Yeah, all right. Yeah, okay. I can't move like that. Who am I to judge? Exactly my point. Yeah. I'm working with the trainer on opening my hips. That's a big thing. We're working on hips right now. Just for the future of my basketball abilities. Yeah, whatever. It wasn't such a weird, woke society. Right. I would think it was cute. No, exactly. I feel like that's cute. Exactly. You're exactly right. Okay. MSNBC is now rebranded. as MS Now. And people don't love it because they think it means multiple cirrhosis now. There's a 31-second video of Joe Scarborough announcing this.

2:27:06Do you want to see it? We have breaking news as it pertains to our network. This morning, a new name for the network by the end of the year. We will become MS Now, which stands for my source for news, opinion, and the world and look Andrew, they even have a graphic up. I like it. This is what you call lipstick on a page. This is their departure from NBC and legacy media. Whatever. I love this. This one I really liked actually. It's still television for morons. Chris Pratt. Chris Pratt went on Club Random and I loved this. Take a look. In politics, you inherit enemies. And when you jump on the bandwagon with who is the most divisive president ever, it makes sense that you're going to be made to look terrible.

2:28:11And so I don't know what to believe. Because it's not like I sit with Bobby and I go, so hey, let's talk about this. It's like we're just playing cards or playing mafia or having fun or having dinner. I'm not going to pick his brain to find out exactly which of those things are true. I just kind of assume that none of them are. and for the most part I wish him well, man. I hope there's certain things that he oversees that seem to be supported in a bipartisan way, like getting terrible toxic stuff out of our kids' food. I think that's a great thing. And so if you just do that, that's amazing. I'd hate to be so mired in hatred for the president that any success from his administration is something I'd have an allergic reaction to.

2:28:48To be like, oh, well, if they do it, I don't want it to happen. I'll put Clorox in my children's cereal myself. You know, I'd say, come on, be reasonable here. There's certain things that would be a good thing to have. I want them all to be successful. Yeah, I mean, that's all good. Not surprising. Glad Bill's nodding along. And Chris Pratt's a Trump guy anyway. I think he's a Republican. He's religious. Oh, is that not? I think I've never followed it. I just looked at his physical transformation and always thought it was impressive. Oh, right, right. Because if you start looking better. No, I know.

2:29:21Yeah, he was like a chubby guy. He was like the funny chubby guy. Now he's like the handsome Jurassic Park leading man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even though the film wasn't trying to... All right, good for them. This is it. That's it. You didn't get a paper cut. You got nothing left. No, but I have... Okay, Dave, what are your plans for the year? What's the energy for the year? What are your predictions for the year? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. For the year. Wow, we really did... Well, first off, I really... I will clean this up, everybody. Yeah, you do not have to clean up the paper. Someone else will clean up the paper.

2:29:49No, I'm going to clean this up myself. Well, I have to say, I guess I'm happy to hear that I was kind of right about my overall prediction, which is that not much happened. Some of the race stuff and I guess this whatever. Just the same crazy. Yeah, but just like general crazy stuff. You know, I would say it's basically what I kicked off. First off, thank you for this. This was wonderful. I think you actually did the most kind of robust sort of blend of funny and also ridiculous and serious. Oh, my God. We had to power through, though. There was very little room for humor. I want to be clear. No, you didn't.

2:30:19I'm not a stand-up comedian. I do lunges for a little bit. You did a bang-up job. And the abs, although they are hidden by the blouse, I'm sure are still tight. Oh, yeah. I mean, we have a lot of stuff coming. I don't want to tease too much. Are you asked? Are they telling me to tease something? I got the question. I was given those questions. There's some major stuff happening with the tequila, which it'll be for sale again next week, finally. We've dealt with some of the logistical issues around that. So, Coppola, we're going to be really big on that for the next year. We have a couple ideas that we're going to change.

2:30:49We changed a few things with the set. We have new chairs here, which are quite comfortable, by the way. And a nice new table and a lot of paper on the floor. We're expanding a couple of things. We're working on a network situation that I've been talking about for quite some time. There's a lot of good things happening. The last thing that happened in this room at the end of July was I taped one last thing. And I was sitting here with Connor and Joseph. And we finished. And then we all just sat here quietly for like 30 seconds. and I said I said I don't know how I feel right now and Joseph goes it feels weird and that kind of caught it for me because it wasn't like I was like relieved like I hate my job and now I'm so happy to escape it wasn't that it was like I was saying goodbye to my friends for a month and like I was going to enjoy myself but I enjoy myself when I'm here and so this morning when I was coming back I was like how do I feel and I was like it feels weird because it's not that I wasn't happy to come back but I also really enjoyed being off and anyway I'm gonna take all of that and all the lessons I learned for a month and all the stuff that you gave me right here.

2:31:53I try to be better at what I do and see if the country can... Well, the bar is high, my friend, and it has been an absolute pleasure doing this with you. That was dense. I apologize, but it's Phoenix's fault. You know, if we were a professional operation, someone would throw a dildo and we'd end this thing. But instead, I'm just going to high-five you, sister. Thank you, Jillian. Back tomorrow, everybody. I want a pink one. Thank you.
