Elon Musk's Scathing Reaction to Grooming Report Goes Viral Fast

25:41Make sure she gets whatever she wants for lunch. Guys, for a limited time, you can get their three-week quick start for just$17.76. It's ready for you right now. Visit relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF. That's some good work over there. Okay, so now let's jump back to what's going on, obviously, with the war that is seemingly wrapping up, at least for now. And I do have to say, in that, because of my shoulder, I've tried to just stay, I'm trying not to endlessly doom scroll, and I'm just watching everybody that, before even the Memorandum of Understanding came out, or things were leaking out, and people were screaming on both sides, and people who were saying one thing last week, we're taking the complete opposite position now and everything else.

26:21I'm taking this all with a grain of salt. And as I said, Trump and Rubio and these people who have done this, who are in charge right now, I think they deserve a little bit of our trust. I'm not gonna sit here and tell you, I read the whole thing this morning and it's not great. I don't think it's great. It seems like we are conceding an awful lot and Iran is not conceding much. And generally when you're the loser in a war, you'd make more concessions, right? When World War II ended, it was unconditional surrender. Germany didn't make demands on the US at the end. Japan didn't make the end. They said, please, please, we're done, we're done.

26:55We don't wanna be hit anymore. That's not really what's happening here. So I don't think this thing is great, but I also think that they deserve our trust at some level, Trump and the administration, and we will see. So let me just put a pin in that for a moment. Here's Trump arriving at the G7 and at least making the point that, But yeah, the US is still in charge.

27:23Hello. I'm the boss. How are you? I'm good, thank you. You're good.

27:37Yeah, all right, so I'm the boss. And whether you love this thing, whether you hate this thing or anything else, it's obvious is that the US is still in charge. And that's in stark contrast to where we were only two years ago. You remember this, it's about 20 seconds. I don't think there's any audio on it. This was at the G7 two years ago. Remember this when this paraglider came down and look at them, they're all applauding him and looking and seeing what's going on. And Biden started wandering off. It was in Italy and now you're gonna see Giorgio Marloni is like, what's happening to this guy?

28:04Oh, nobody look at me, I've got my hands clapped. Let's, why don't you? Yes, just over there, old man. Okay, fine. So again, that's a sidebar from whether you like what's going on here or not. But that the US is in charge again, right? That I think you can unequivocally say is true. Here's a video of Trump signing the peace memorandum.

28:38All right, now I'm gonna give you an abbreviated, condensed version of what is in this thing. We'll try to do this real quick. Permanent ceasefire, this is from the New York Post, permanent ceasefire, end the war immediately and permanently, including in Lebanon, with neither side attacking or threatening the other. Now, the weird thing about including Lebanon in this is that Hezbollah, if they just wanna shoot rockets over, Israel obviously is gonna respond. So I don't know how that one really is even included. It's a separate thing than U.S. and Iran, but okay. Mutual sovereignty, the U.S. and Iran agree not to interfere in each other's internal affairs, okay.

29:10Final agreement timeline, negotiate a comprehensive final deal within 60 days unless both sides agree to extend. Okay, that's what negotiations are. End naval pressure. The U.S. begins lifting its naval blockade immediately, fully removes it within 30 days, and later pulls forces away from Iran. So that's obviously about the Strait of Hormuz and that we're going to let their oil get out. Here's a little bit more on that. Reopen shipping routes. Iran ensures safe commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and works on a long-term governance arrangement for the waterway. Okay, massive reconstruction aid.

29:40So this one's a little strange. The US and partners commit to creating a$300 billion economic development and reconstruction package. Now the question here is, is the US funding this thing or is it gonna be Gulf states? Trump is saying we're not going to. Gulf states are saying maybe they will. My guess is ultimately it'll be a little bit of both. Now, just come back to me for one sec. I saw a lot of people that were not happy with that one in particular. It's like if we won the war, Why would you then fund reconstruction? Unless it was, let's say, a complete and utter surrender, again, Germany, Japan, World War II, where then you could go in and say, wow, you've come to all of our terms, so now we will help you rebuild because we're gonna be allies.

30:21This one does seem a little bit odd, but what I would say here is maybe what Trump is doing is basically saying, hey, we will facilitate, whether it's our money, whether it's the Gulf states, we will facilitate rebuilding of your country. And as long as you play ball with us, well, then your country will be rebuilt and it's gonna be very hard to do without us, right? So we will allow some of these funds to go to you. And so it's sort of a bribery for peace. That's the way I would put it. Speaking of briberies for peace, here's a bit on the sanctions. The US agrees to eliminate all major sanctions on Iran, including UN and US sanctions, according to a negotiated schedule.

30:59I mean, again, that seems to me like a bit of bribery. It's like, you will get more money if you behave. Have they decided to not call America the great Satan? And are they gonna treat their people better and everything else? I'm not so sure of that. But again, it's an effort, let's say. Nuclear restrictions, this seems like the big one. Iran pledges not to develop nuclear weapons and agrees to address enriched uranium stockpiles under international supervision. So again, as I said yesterday, I don't know that any of this means anything post-Trump presidency, right? The Democrats will come in and they would help them build nuclear reactors.

31:33So it's like, I don't know what that is. And can we trust the UN or some third party to actually get whatever nuclear material that's still there out? I don't know, is there, and will Trump, let's say they are like, you know what, we're not agreeing to this. Three months from now, is Trump really gonna say, okay, I'm going back to military action right before an election? These are all the complexities of doing these things. Then the next one, freeze current situation. Until a final deal is reached, Iran freezes its nuclear program at current levels while the U.S. imposes no new sanctions of military buildup.

32:06All right, that seems straightforward. Allow Iranian oil exports. The U.S. immediately grants waivers so Iran can sell oil and conduct related financial transactions. Again, in some sense, that's a little bit of bribery, right? It's like you guys can sell your oil again. Release frozen assets. The U.S. makes Iran's frozen funds and assets accessible for Iran's use. So we've frozen all of this money that technically is their money, and now they will have access to that. Again, these all seem fine as points of pressure and bribery. You're going to get lots of money. The question is, will they keep up any end of their bargain?

32:38Will they stop funding terror? There's nothing about them being nicer to their people. Will they stop building nukes and everything like that? It's a lot of trust that we're offering them. But speaking of trust, compliance monitoring. Create a joint mechanism to oversee implementation and ensure both sides follow the agreement. All right, maybe. Maybe we can figure out something. Conditional final negotiations, broader negotiations proceed only after key ceasefire shipping oil and asset release provisions start being implemented. So basically there's stages of this thing. UN backing the final agreement will be formally endorsed by a binding UN security resolution.

33:15Again, I don't know if that means anything. The UN is largely useless and mostly a jihadist organization. So okay, there's something. Here is Trump taking a question from Peter Doocy. And I thought this was quite a good question on how he is going to sell this as a win. How do you go back to the United States and convince a skeptical American public that this deal is a win? Well, look, here they lost militarily, okay? It's very tough because I know that no matter what, if I would go, by the way, if I'd go another three or four weeks, the same people that are critical would say, he went too long, he should have done, you know, no matter what.

33:53If they raise the white flag of surrender, And if they said, praise be to Allah, Donald Trump is the greatest president ever. We totally concede. We totally give up. This war is over. We have failed. The New York Times and CNN and a couple of others are not all that dishonest. They say Iran had a great victory. OK. But what this does is it allows the ships to go. If we keep bombing, those ships won't be going. And you're talking about$500,$600,$700 million a day. It's a lot of money. A lot of money. That's why the world is okay. It's liquid. It's fine. Also, we run out of reserves in about four weeks.

34:36You know, there are reserves all over the world. And we would really run out. And there would be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it. And you want to see Bedlam? So for all those so-called geniuses that want to show me how smart they are, ask them why didn't they blow up General Soleimani. Okay, so there's a couple of things. Trump's obviously completely right on, no matter what he was going to do here one way or another. You end it today, they call him weak and he's a taco. What is it, Trump always came, something like that? And if he let go three more weeks and got a win, they'd say it went too far.

35:06So I fully accept that. I also, this is again, Trump where he's at his best when he's answering honestly off the cuff. This idea that we were gonna run out of oil reserves in four weeks, how this continued, I don't understand how that makes sense. And I think maybe he misspoke there. we're trying to check right now, because we get virtually none of our energy. Yeah, I mean, you're checking on Grok, or were you checking? Yeah, so we're checking on Grok right now. We wouldn't run out in four weeks. We get virtually none of our energy, and we are drilling again, and we have access to Venezuelan oil.

35:36So I don't know if he slightly misspoke there or whatever else. But basically, in essence, what he's saying is, look, we got the military win, and that is true, right? Their military is completely destroyed. Their Navy's gone. There was complete air superiority in like two days and everything else. And now we're in the negotiation phase, which mostly is kind of bribery. So here's Trump talking about how our, in essence he's saying our version of bribery will be better than what Obama did. What Obama did was he did the JCPOA, he loaded up a plane with$1 ,700 ,000 ,000 in green cash from banks all over Washington, in Maryland and Virginia.

36:20They were stripped of all their cash. They had no cash to do payrolls. It all went into a Boeing 757, a wonderful plane, and they flew it to Iran. And they gave it out to people. They bribed people. They thought they were going to get it done. Then they gave billions and billions of dollars after that. And they got a deal that was a road to a nuclear weapon. I get so angry, I guess. I'm allowed to get angry when I watch the Democrats. They talk about it all the time. We had this deal done. You had a deal that was gonna give them, legally, a nuclear weapon. Okay, so this is where I will, for all the good that Trump has done and for the trust that I think that this administration deserves, I will go with him here, right?

37:07Like, I don't know any more than you do, but I will go with him here that at least for the time that Donald Trump is president, that Iran is not gonna get a nuclear weapon, that there will be a threat of force, that we will be bribing them in essence to behave better. And I just don't understand that they'll, everyone keeps saying, well, they'll never get a nuclear weapon. And that just makes no sense to me. Like administrations come, administrations go. And we just know the Democrats will be far closer to the IRGC and to jihadists in general than Donald Trump. So we'll see after that. But I basically, again, I just can't freak out over this.

37:46And I don't think you should freak out over it either, even if it's not the perfect ending to all this. I also think, as I said from the beginning of this thing months ago, that this seems to me to be the beginning of the end of conventional warfare, like armies invading, giant air forces, huge bombs. Warfare is going to significantly change. It's gonna be a lot closer to Star Wars with robot soldiers and drones and lasers. And they're eventually, I mean, I guarantee you, Israel will eventually build a force field like they had on Naboo. If you're doing, if you can do a prequel reference for me, like things are gonna change so fundamentally that for anyone that's going, oh, this isn't perfect or whatever.

38:25Like it's, I think it's just the wrapping up of one version of things, this last 80 years of post-World War II stuff. So anyway, let's leave that there. We'll have a bit more on reality and why you must wake up as opposed to being woke. But first, Angel Studios. In a world where everything seems to cost more and deliver less, Angel's doing something pretty special for America's 250th birthday. Right now, you can become a premium Angel Guild member for just$15 a month, normally 20 bucks, and with that price locked in for an entire year. Here's what you get. Two free tickets to see Young Washington in theaters on Independence Day, access to Angel's entire streaming library, and tickets to every future Angel theatrical release.

39:07So if you're planning to see Young Washington anyway, you've already come out ahead. And I think Young Washington's exactly the kind of movie worth supporting. It's the story of George Washington before he became president. It's about a young man facing failure, uncertainty, and enormous challenges before becoming one of the most important figures in American history. What's refreshing, of course, is that in this film, it's not interested in apologizing for America's existence. It's interested in understanding the people and ideas that helped build it. And beyond Young Washington, you'll get access to Angel's entire streaming library, including films like Homestead, Green and Gold, The Last Rodeo, Something to Stand For with Mike Rowe, and an upcoming theatrical slate that's incredibly impressive.

39:45If you're looking for a meaningful way to celebrate America's 250th, this is a great place to start. Go to angel.com slash Rubin and become a premium Angel Guild member today. All right, so to kind of tie everything together today, Trump was right 10 years ago. I love showing you the 40 years ago, talking about Iran and nukes, but Trump was right 10 years ago when he was talking about an invasion. He was talking about culture and religion that doesn't vibe with Western values. It's just a fact he was right about it. Interestingly, Christopher Hitchens, again, a liberal atheist was right 20 years ago when he was talking about it.

40:21So often what happens, one of the lines that everyone always says now is that a conservative is just a liberal mugged by reality. You have to kind of drag these people to the truth. Now, interestingly, as you know, over the last couple of years, I've been trying my best to whatever extent that I can to bring Bill Maher over for his last bit of wake up. Well, I thought this was super interesting. Bill Maher went on Howie Mandel's podcast. I like both of these guys a lot. Really like them a lot. But Howie is definitely, and I did his podcast, And he definitely still takes these crazy, I would say confused leftist positions that he doesn't exactly know what he's talking about, but he just feels that there is systemic racism or he feels that Donald Trump is awful or all these things, but he doesn't have anything to back it.

41:07So now watch this. Here is Bill Maher now doing to Howie Mandel what Larry Elder famously did to me a decade ago. How many people do you think the police shoot a year? I don't know. See, so you're talking out of your ass. Well, tell me. 1 ,000. They shoot about 1 ,000 people a year. Okay. How many of that are white people? Tell me. So, again, we're having this discussion, but you're so sure of yourself you don't even know the stats. But why does that stat affect me? Because you're talking about how much you have to worry. Okay. They shoot about 1 ,000 people a year, right? Right. Now, in a country of 340 million people, a lot of whom are crazy and a lot of whom are armed.

41:54I don't know if that's like a ridiculous number. There are some people the police do have to shoot. What percentage are white? Three quarters. More white. Wow. But since blacks are only 14 % of the population, that's almost twice the percentage of what it would be. Right. Okay. So there's a problem. There's a problem. But police also have many more encounters with black people. So you have to figure in all these things. OK, so this is pretty wild. So there you have two liberal Hollywood guys. But Bill is now taking the position of the sort of conservative, right, or the red-pilled one. Basically, like, do you have any stats to back up any of the things that you're saying?

42:45And Howie just has none. Now, I like Howie, right? If you're watching today, I like it. This is not a knock on you. I had a wake-up moment very similar to this, and it was great for me personally and for my career and everything else because I went towards the truth. So just with that, what you just watched in your mind right here, let's throw back 10 years ago, me and Larry Elder. Give me the most blatant racist example you can come up with right now. I think you could probably find evidence that in general, cops are more willing to shoot if the perpetrator is black than white. What's your basis for saying that?

43:25Well, look, I know a lot of people would say, look what's going on in Chicago. I know what they would say. I'm talking about what the facts are. 965 people were shot by cops last year and killed. 4 % of them were white cops shooting unarmed blacks. In Chicago in 2011, 21 people were shot and killed by cops. In 2015, there were seven. In Chicago, which is a third black, a third white, and a third Hispanic, 70 % of the homicides are black on black. About 40 per month, almost 500 per year, last year in Chicago, and 75 % of them are unsolved. Where is the Black Lives Matter on that? The idea that a racist white cop shooting unarmed black people is a peril to black people is BS.

44:06It's complete and total BS. I mean, talk about a blast from the past. You know, it's a little hard for me to watch those videos. because I was actually pretty sick at the time I was dealing with that crazy alopecia thing and on all this crazy medication, so it's hard for me to kind of look at myself. But that moment I always describe to people as my best and worst career moment at the exact same time. It was my worst career moment because I got into a debate with a guy who was ready with facts, and I wasn't ready, so that was obviously why it was my worst. And it was my best because right after that, we were at Aura TV at the time, there were a bunch of producers, and I walked right, it wasn't live streamed, it was live to tape, and I walked back into the control room and a couple of people were like, Dave, we're not gonna air that or we're gonna cut that portion out.

44:45And I just remember, I was just like, no, if I'm anything decent or if I care about the truth at all, we have to air it as is. And then the next day it went up and I saw it getting clipped and it was getting millions of views and black conservative destroys white libtard and all of that stuff. But I began my journey, right? I began the journey that I think has led to everything else over these last 10 years. So anyway, the reason I'm showing you that is, and the reason I'm trying to connect it to what we talked about earlier is Christopher Hitchens was telling the truth 20 years ago. Larry Elder was telling the truth 10 years ago.

45:16Donald Trump was telling the truth 10 years ago. Bill Maher would have never said what he said on this podcast 10 years ago. He's getting there. So the question is maybe we need enough people, or not the question, the point would be that we need enough people to wake up now. How about for all of the people that are gonna wake up in 10 years? Well, what did Brandon Gill say before? He doesn't want his children to have to deal with this nonsense. And that's really where we should be at with all of this stuff. Like, let's start dealing with this stuff honestly and seriously. And then we could go from there.

45:52I do want to add one more thing quickly, which is that I retweeted that, or I tweeted out that clip, and Larry Elder even corrected Bill a little bit just for some specifics. He wrote, thanks, Dave, but Bill said the police shoot 1 ,000 people every year. No, they shoot more. They shoot and kill 1 ,000 people every year. He also said 75 % of those shot and killed are white. No, it's 50 % white, 25 % black, and the rest, other or race undetermined. But he made the important point about Mandel, like so many others on his topic of alleged police brutality and misconduct, have strong but ill-informed opinions.

46:23So bravo, Bill. So it doesn't matter whether Bill got every specific number right there and Larry cleaned it up a little bit. That is not the point. The point is that we can wake people up. We can bring them to the truth and we should do our best to consider, to keep doing it, otherwise at the end of the day, it actually will be our children who will pay for it. Do you wanna do a couple questions? Should we do a couple questions? I think I can do it. My arm is killing me. All right, hold on, let me, here. I'm gonna throw to an ad for OmniWatch.

48:09All right, we'll do a couple of Ruben Report. local's questions, and then I'm going to sit in a bacta tank. Anyone get the reference? Anyone get the reference? Anyone get the reference? Empire Strikes Back. Thank you, Connor. Elizabeth says, if you had to be stuck in a cartoon for a week, what show would you choose? I mean, I guess it would be, if I was stuck in a cartoon, I mean, I think probably peak Simpsons years to just be around all of that great stuff, like those, you know, seasons four to nine Simpsons, probably that. You know, the kids, we don't do a lot of TV around here. Right now we're doing Gigantosaurus.

48:44He's really enormous. You know this guy, Gigantosaurus, he's really enormous. Yeah, he's on Netflix. If you wanna check him out, I could do some stuff with him, I guess. And we're doing a little bit, I don't wanna show them too much because it can be a little violent at times, although it's very cartoony, is the original G1 Transformers that I grew up with from 1984. And we're doing, oh, there you go, look at you. You were one step ahead of me on that. Yeah, so we're doing a little bit of that. and one thing that Justin doesn't understand, he gets the idea that the Autobots are the good guys and the Decepticons are the bad guys.

49:14He can't understand why Megatron and Starscream are always fighting if they're both Decepticons. And I had to explain to him that bad guys often have infighting. But I love showing them that stuff. I tried, you know, because the Masters of the Universe movies out, which I really would love to go see, but I don't know if I can sit in the theater right now. I tried to do one episode of the original He-Man. Can you throw up an original He-Man, Master of the Universe? and that was like probably 1983. I tried to do one episode with them and Skeletor was a little scary, so they weren't into that. We'll get a picture of Skeletor in just a sec.

49:47Robert says, JD was with everyone yesterday and he has the stamina for Trump. Do you think this was an opportunity to get him out there to articulate the concepts of what is going on with the Iran deal more than a book tour? Oh, for sure. I mean, I think he's doing a little something for the book tour, but he was everywhere over the last two days. He was on a million different shows, but I also think it's what Trump said. I think we played the clip of it yesterday. Trump basically was like, look, if this thing doesn't work out, it's on JD. And if it does work out, I'm taking the credit. And you could see Marco back there like, hello, hello, what about me?

50:20So yeah, I would say overall, JD had a, I would say he had a couple minor flubs that were a little strange. He said a few things that were a little bizarre. But overall, I think he's an unbelievably effective communicator. We played all those clips of The View yesterday. He has a good ability to be present in the moment and not give you just rehash stock lines. And I think in some sense, Trump is, this is what Trump's doing. I'm telling you right now, Trump is going to want a contested convention. He's not just handing it to JD. So this is a little test. Well, JD, you're more of the isolationist.

50:52Well, we'll wrap this thing up the way you want, but okay, now it's attached to you. It's less attached to Marco who wanted to stay. That's what everyone's saying, or Hegseth who wanted to stay. So we'll see where it all shakes out. But Vinay says, hope you recover from your injury soon. Is the trip to London still on? So we're supposed to go on Sunday to the annual ARC conference in London. Obviously, because of his health, Jordan Peterson won't be there, but they're continuing the conference. And I'm supposed to be doing more than I've ever done before. A couple of things on the main stage, some other stuff.

51:20We're gonna do some live shows there. I don't know. I said to Phoenix this morning, I'm 50-50 right now, and there's only a 10 % chance of that. I don't know that I can be on a plane for that long. I can't dress myself at the moment. It's pretty rough and I really want this thing to heal as quickly as possible. I don't wanna be off the grid with one arm. So we'll decide in the next day or so. So I'm just not sure yet. Chipster said, do you think the terms of the agreement include independent verification that all funds for Iran's reconstruction are gonna benefit the country and not the IRGC? I mean, I sort of referenced that when I was reading it.

51:56I don't know. and what kind of, who do we trust? Who do we trust? Are the people in charge really in charge? Like, do you trust that the UN is going to be tracking the money or some other third party or, no, it's the US or bust. And again, I will grant Trump and this administration enough of a leash here to be like, yeah, I'll trust that you guys will track this properly. But that doesn't mean the day they are out, or even worse, if the Republicans lose the midterms and Trump's lame duck. Iran will do whatever the high hell it wants to do. So I don't trust any of it, but it's where we're at. That just is.

52:36How about some real politics for you? Glenn says, how long do you want your show to keep going the way it's set up now? Do you anticipate any technological advancements that could lead you to change how your show is presented? You wanna show the foot thing again? I mean, we could just do the foot cam all the time. It could just be, you know, we've got little googly-eyed Bob over here. or he could check in every now and again. We could do smell-o-vision, which we are working on. You know, I don't know, as I always say to the guys, I wanna lead on everything, right? We're working on a bunch of AI stuff right now.

53:06We just got new cameras. We have literally the state-of-the-art cameras that we have in here, so there's a little more depth in the studio now, and it changed some of the lighting things. We've built many studios. I always, as long as I'm doing this, I don't mind, I am actually happy to always put money back into it so that it can look better and be better and we can be on the front end of all this. The last thing that I ever want to see is when I'm looking on Instagram and I see someone that's doing something similar and I'm like, oh, that's better than what we do or why does that look better or whatever.

53:36I always want to match that and go above it. So I don't know. I'm open to ideas. Maybe we've got the slider camera, which we don't use the slide that often, but we do have a slider here for a little motion. Are we able to do something right now or is that? Can't do the slider right now. But that camera does slide. There are things that we're always talking about, but I'm open to ideas. If you've got some ideas. I was thinking, I don't want to do it yet, but I was thinking one day, because the wearable thing will eventually hit. If I was wearing glasses interviewing somebody and the camera was right here and you could literally see them and maybe they were wearing them too and you would see me, that might be an interesting way of just adding another element.

54:12Could be kind of annoying too, so maybe it would just be a fifth camera on a normal four-camera shoot, something like that. So we'll see. All right. I am going to soak my arm in Epsom salt and then ice it and perhaps eat a little something. I thank you guys for watching. We'll do a quick post-game show, rubinreport.locals.com. Thanks for watching, everybody.
