Listen to Pollster's Shock as He Realizes How Much Worse It Just Got for Democrats

25:33Guys, you know when I rescued Clyde and I rescued him the day COVID started, I've told you this story, it's a great story. I've recited him the day COVID started. I literally pushed my way into a shelter. They had signed the order to kill him already. He was only a year old. He had a huge gash on his head. They were like, you don't have a mask. And I was like, I'm getting in here. I'm grabbing that dog. And I literally grabbed him and saved him. And we had head surgery and everything after. Anyway, you shouldn't be putting down dogs. That's a sidebar. But what I promised myself was that we were gonna give this guy the best life possible.

26:02And yes, he's out there slaughtering iguanas right now. But it's also about what goes in his bowl. And like a lot of people, I used to feed him regular kibble without thinking much about it. And then I looked at the ingredients and realized I couldn't pronounce half of them. That's why I switched to Sundays for dogs. This is what Clyde's eating right now. It's made with over 80 % all natural meat, plus real super foods like kale, ginger, and blueberries. No fillers, no chemicals, no mystery ingredients. And unlike fresh dog food, there's no refrigeration or prep, just scoop and serve. Clyde absolutely loves it.

26:30And I've noticed a healthier coat. Actually, he just got his checkup today and they said he's doing great. I think the doctor's in the house right now. They even have a new fish recipe made from 80 % whole and minced fish that's packed with omega-3s to support healthy skin and joints and brain function. And it is human grade. So I thought today, since it is human grade, you know, the way we feed Clyde is I don't put it in a bowl. I just throw it out in the backyard. I find that it's better for his brain. It slows down the digestion and everything. But Joseph, Joseph, come here, come here. There you go, here you go.

26:58I'm gonna put a little kibble on the floor. There you go. That's for you right there. Yeah, well, you know. You know, it doesn't taste bad, you know? It doesn't taste bad. Good kid, good kid. Okay, okay. I'll take you for a walk later. Make the switch to Sundays. Go right now to Sundays4Dogs.com slash Ruben and get 50 % off your first order or use code Ruben at checkout. That's 50 % off your first order at Sundays4Dogs.com slash Ruben, code Ruben at checkout. Phoenix, for the record, I did not think he was going to actually eat it, but that was impressive. Okay, get him some water, would you? But it's good stuff.

27:31Okay, let's talk about Mom Dami And just, again, if they didn't have double standards, they would have no standards. And this is a guy who ran on free this, free that, and free everything else. But meanwhile, what's he really trying to do? Give himself a raise. Listen to this from 77 WABC Talk Radio. Mamdami campaigned on making buses free across New York City. Now, as that promise is on hold, a commission he appointed is recommending an 18.2 % pay raise for elected city officials. Critics say it's a striking contrast between campaign promises. and governing priorities. I'm so shocked. Color me shocked.

28:07Look at this from libs of TikTok. It has a little more info on the numbers. So the mayor who gets about 200, what is that? 256 ,000, he'll jump over 300 ,000. The public advocate will jump over 200 ,000. Another about 40 ,000 for the state controller. Borough presidents are gonna go from 179 to 2011. Think how profoundly absurd this is. with all of, yes, there's a million problems in New York City. He doesn't view them as problems. He's trying to do the control destruction of New York City. But putting that aside, that anyone who voted for this guy thinks that him now getting a raise, literally giving himself a raise, is right or just, I get it.

28:51I get it. You guys, there's no low too low. There's no bottom to the pit. I already get it. You know, he makes more, yeah, He makes more than Marco Rubio, JD, Pete Hegseth, Scott Besson, what do they make? They all make probably around 200, right? Yeah, we're gonna get the numbers on that. They all make around 200. And he's now gonna make over 300. Yeah, look at this, we have the exact numbers. So right now, Zorhan makes 258 ,000. Secretary of State Marco Rubio makes 250. Hegseth makes 250, Besson makes 250, JD Vance makes 235. The VP makes$15 ,000 less than the Secretary of State. That's interesting.

29:29But you get it, you get it. Now his new salary will be$305 ,800. It is completely absurd in and of itself, but it's also absurd to what's happening in New York City because as he's caused all of the capital to leave, as he has frozen rents, well, hot diggity damn, this from Mark Levine, New York City controller, rents in New York City have just hit an all-time high. I'm shocked. The median market rate in June in Manhattan was$5 ,295 a month, which was up 8.2 % year over year. In Brooklyn, it was 4 ,550, which is up 8.1%. New York City's housing affordability crisis is at DEFCON 1. We need to push harder on every front to address our housing shortage.

30:07Update zoning, invest more in city number of affordable units. No, that's not what you should do. Lower the time and cost the city bureaucracy imposed on construction to get thousands of vacant regulated units back on the market. We need this bold action. This is a crisis. You guys did this. And well, here's a little something for everyone that voted for Zorhan.

30:30Yeah, and she, that's Miss Rachel there, and she's even worse than him. She's a full on Hamas jihadi lunatic. The kids watched that for like two weeks, and even before she became a nutbag, I was like, something's not right. Her husband's gay as a fruitcake, and there's this weird trans character in the thing. Anyway, don't watch Miss Rachel. Octonauts isn't bad. Have you seen that on Netflix for the kids? It's pretty good. They go on environmental adventures. It's all right, without like woke environmental stuff. Anywho, fraud is at an odd time high, of course, across the country, and there was one person, a kid with a sweatshirt, who is doing something about it.

31:03Yeah, I'm talking about Nick Shirley. He went to New York City to see what was going on, and it turns out that a little adult daycare that said they had 7 ,000 patients was in a tiny little building, and they had billed over 12 million to you. So I started this investigation on these adult daycares in Flushing, Queens, And I go to this first location and they're like, well, we're losing all our clients because this daycare is offering kickbacks. And I said, well, is the fraud real? And they say, yes, the fraud is very much real. And so then I kept digging and I went to this next location. And at one location, they had 7 ,000 patients, more than 7 ,000 patients.

31:40And they're building up to$12 million. And it's only one story building on the second floor of the building. Wow, Nick. I mean, the video is stunning. and then you have a great co-pilot there. Okay, so I know we don't have to analyze it too much. I know none of it's shocking. This is what they are doing. They are doing this with hospices. They are doing it with a child daycare. They're doing it with adult care. They're doing it with all sorts of things. And then he goes in, he tries to talk to them. They can't talk. Where are your patients? Can I get a brochure? I'd like to send my mother here.

32:11They have no information on anything. And again, to get to that Abdul Syed clip from earlier, it's like, well, what I didn't mean defund the police, I meant fund those other things. But to any extent that that could be a legitimate argument, what you would wanna make sure is that the funding is clean and going to what it's supposed to be and is not full of fraud or anything else. But every time you say something about fraud, they all freak out because they're all in on it. Guys, let's talk about lean for just a second and then we will get, we're gonna shift from politics for a second. We're gonna get over to the Odyssey, which is coming out this weekend.

32:43We're gonna see it, we're gonna see it. I like Christopher Nolan. I get all the woke stuff that seems like it's on the way, but I want to judge it for myself, but we'll have some of the, let's say, mishagas around the movie before it debuts. Guys, everybody's talking about weight loss injections because the results can be so dramatic. They work by lowering blood sugar and reducing appetite. But if you're looking to lose weight and aren't interested in weekly injections or some of the side effects that come with them, there's another option. Doctors created a weight loss supplement called Lean.

33:12Its studied ingredients have been shown to help lower blood sugar, support your body's ability to burn fat for energy, and curb appetite and cravings so you're not going hungry. Lean isn't for someone just trying to lose a couple pounds. Brickhouse Nutrition designed it for people with 10 or more pounds to lose who are looking for extra support alongside a healthy diet and exercise plan. Right now, you can get 20 % off plus free rush shipping. Just visit TakeLean.com and use promo code Rubin. That's TakeLean.com, promo code Rubin. Okay, so I've mentioned many times before. Well, first off, let me say, beyond that I like Christopher Nolan, which I've mentioned before, I'm gonna try not to be totally outraged about something I haven't seen yet.

33:50And that's what so many of us do in culture, right? Something comes out, something's cast the wrong way, or they did something you didn't want, everyone starts freaking out. I'm actually not gonna do that in this segment and when we covered it earlier in the week and on Actual Friends, I'm trying not to do that. But I think there's something worth talking about here, just relative to the culture. And then I will go see the movie, we're going to see it over the weekend, and I'll tell you what I thought about it on Monday morning and we'll go from there. But as you know, the main thing that people are stuck on right now from Homer's The Odyssey, which is the new Christopher Nolan movie.

34:20And again, Christopher Nolan, all the Batman movies, spectacular, that Batman trilogy. Interstellar, I think you can argue it's the best sci-fi movie of all time. Inception was wonderful. Oppenheimer, which came out a couple of years ago, I did not love, but most people thought it was a pretty great movie. Dunkirk he did was great. He's a true filmmaker, okay? and I'd love to chat with the guy as well. But there's a lot of casting choices in this and some stuff going around the press around this, the pre-press to the movie that people are concerned about. So the main thing seems to be that Elliot Page, who once was known as Ellen Page, who was in the X-Men movies and was in Inception itself.

35:01Can we get a picture of Ellen Page in Inception? We'll figure out what year that was. She was a she who now believes she is a he and is Elliot. and is playing a Greek warrior despite her diminutive stature because she is a female. So first, here is Christopher Nolan and Elliot Page on the casting situation. And I loved seeing Elliot Page from the first faces. You see, what was it like reuniting with him years after doing Inception together? It was really fun. I mean, Elliot's just terrific. And I just thought this was such a great part for him. and I mean we had such a great time years ago on Inception.

35:45It's nice to reunite with people. Okay, again, like I'm not gonna go crazy on them. It is nice to reunite with people. They had a great time on Inception. I think we have a picture of Elliot Page in Inception. She was a beautiful girl. Phoenix had a crush on her. I know he doesn't like me saying it all the time. You had a crush on a chick who's now a dude. It is what it is. No judgment, you know, it's cool. You didn't know. I feel like you think you're gonna be in trouble because of this. Anyway, but it is a little bizarre. That's just, so there's Ellen Page. Again, she was a beautiful girl. Obviously she had internal tumult.

36:19She was dealing with some stuff. I can actually be completely sympathetic to all of that stuff. But what the issue seems to be is that then if you go out of your way to, she then transitions, let's say. And then if you as a director go out of your way, I like that person and I'm doing a film, The Odyssey about Greek warriors, and I'm going to cast that person as a Greek warrior. Well, you have to just think, does this person strike you as a Greek warrior? No, we can go to the video.

36:53Right, so now the problem is that, you know, one of the things that I find with movies all the time is that because celebrities have become so outspoken on everything and you see them everywhere that I love seeing movies now or TV shows, not that I have time to watch anything anymore, But when I do, I like seeing things that I don't recognize anybody because I'm like, they can actually seem like actors as opposed to you're like, oh, that's Tom Cruise. And look at him. He's doing that Tom Cruise thing again. Or there's Tom Hanks. And it's Tom Hanks on an island. And it's Tom Hanks on a boat. But here now, because there's been some pushback, like should that diminutive person put aside trans, would you have a Greek warrior that would just be a small little somewhat frailish person as a Greek warrior, there's some pushback against it.

37:38Here is Elliot Page doing press for the new movie. I hope for anyone who's sort of, you know, struggling in this time and the headlines and just to know, like, that you're, you know, not alone and loved and celebrated by so many and try and block out the noise from, you know, absolute vile losers who must just be so profoundly uncomfortable with themselves they can't handle, that someone could get to a place that I think, you know, that, you know, trans people do get to. Okay, so there's a couple things here. You actually had me on the first part of that, right, on how people should be. But then the next part was that all the people who are talking about this in a way you don't like are, what was it, vile losers or something like that, or they're usually hate bigots and they're transphobes and everything else.

38:43As I've said many times, most of my stuff around the trans thing, which even if you just think of the effect, you know, it's like.001 % of people that have this condition or or perceived condition, that it has loomed so large over America and that we've let biological boys be girls in sports and all that stuff. Like that in and of itself is crazy, the amount of air that this thing has sucked for such a small amount of people. Now I'm for everyone having equal rights and I will, and you can judge me accordingly, but if I met, I've known two or three trans people over the years, and people that are living as the opposite, trans people, let's just call them.

39:23And if you treat me with respect, I'll treat you with respect, but it doesn't change my belief that biology is real. That's the thing. And the other thing of course is that most of the pushback on this is that the average American actually does not care what you as an adult do in your private life. Like you as an adult, you're 21 and you wanna put on a wig and you wanna do whatever you want with your body and you wanna call yourself a different name and you wanna do any of that, most people don't care. What people, when people started caring about this was when it was leaked into schools. When suddenly, as Abigail Schreier has written about many, many times, and who wrote a wonderful book about it, then it becomes a social contagion.

40:00And then suddenly the numbers of quote unquote trans kids explodes by 600%, usually girls who are transitioning to boys. All of the woke stuff, the idea that California wanted to quite literally take kids away from their parents if they didn't wanna call them by their preferred pronouns and everything else. But now I wanna connect it to the broader point, which is that all of these sort of bad and confused ideas that the left is about at every level right now, they are all combined in a sort of endless hysteria. They're coming for the trans people, the climate is gonna kill you, fascism is here.

40:38They're all just this evil toxic stew that has been like just gestating and it's quite terrible. So now let's go back seven years. This is then Ellen Page on Stephen Colbert talking about climate change. Any idea how we can get the public and the media to pay more attention to what's happening in global warming? Because there's such a long time span where these effects will happen in really dramatic ways. Is it that long? I think they're happening, these effects. This is something that's happening. And it's happening to the most marginalized people, and we need to be talking about it. It's really serious.

41:22We've been told as we know it that by 2030, the world as we know it, that's it. That's it. We have a media that's saying it's a debate whether or not what just happened to Jussie Smollett is a hate crime. It's absurd. Connect the dots. This is what happens. If you are in a position of power and you hate people and you want to cause suffering to them, you go through the trouble. You spend your career trying to cause suffering. What do you think is going to happen? Kids are going to be abused and they're going to kill themselves and people are going to be beaten on the street.

42:08I have traveled the world and I have met the most marginalized people you could meet. I am lucky to have this time and the privilege to say this.

42:21This needs to stop.

42:26I'm sorry, was that a comedy show? Was that a late night comedy program and a multi-award winning comedy program? Thank God that's not on air anymore. You see how they combine so many things. She at that time also brought up Jessie Smollett, which turned out to be a complete hoax. He hired the two people to supposedly lynch him and say this is MAGA country, complete hoax, but she fell for that. She fell for the climate hoax. Does anyone with their head on straight think the world is gonna end in four years? And if you did, perhaps as I always say, you wouldn't try to turn Elon Musk into the greatest evil man of all time because he's working on the ships to get us off the planet.

43:07So you don't buy into any of that. But what you see there really is someone that was in some version of crisis. And again, actually what that is, when you look at all these young socialists, the girl we showed you on Fox before, this ding dong out of Florida, they all believe all of this stuff. And I suppose their ability to believe things that aren't true are because they've never practiced their ideas in reality, which is why no businesses are built on socialism and wokeism and everything else. Once it infects a successful business, it can destroy things, but it cannot build. The other part of this is that Helen of Troy, who obviously it's a fictitious story, but she, in essence, was a Greek goddess, a beautiful Greek goddess.

43:51She likely was white, despite what Sonny Hostin said, because she taught Greek mythology when she was in eighth grade. So she was cast as Lupita Nyong 'o, who happens to be black. And again, I'm not going to go crazy over that until I see the movie. But it's the pre-press around all this that is just so ridiculous. Here is Lupita. We all know a version of the Helen story. I read different versions. This film asks us to consider more than just her face. But she was really known for her face because she was a Greek goddess. And I don't think you read several versions of the Odyssey. Like you just didn't.

44:31And of course, I'm just gonna do one more on this, which is that the other part that people seem to be getting upset by, and again, punt some of this till you see it yourself and make the judgment call for yourself. But it's an interesting cultural moment right here, right? Like a beloved director taking a timeless story and combining it with all of these things of modernity with a cast that's going out there and sort of trying to alter the reality of the story. So here he is with Tom Holland, who is Spider-Man, and he's in the movie also. And they get into it. They're asked about how they've modernized some of the language from the original story.

45:07Take a look. The language as well is very modern. It's a very contemporary, easy to access way of speaking. I mean, you say dad rather than father. Sure. I mean, what's the thinking behind that? Because I wouldn't have even said father back in the day, would I? I wouldn't have been in Greek. so it's no less correct. People bring, you know, when you look at this world, when you look at the ancient world, people tend to view it in weird ways. There's a lot of cultural prejudice. There's a lot of sort of elevating it because it's old, you know, whatever it is. When you go to the poem, what you find is something that's really earthy and grounded and accessible.

45:43And so for me, in building the world of the film, what I talk to all the actors about is like, I just want to center it on that and make it feel very fresh for modern audiences and do away with some of those assumptions that aren't based on anything logical. They're just, as I say, cultural prejudices or things over time. It's not, though, that they were not based on anything logical or they were prejudices of the time. They were things that were happening at the time that the book was written. And again, the book is fiction. So I'm not going crazy about Christopher Nolan. I like him. I think that hopefully he did a great job here and it's just all part of it.

46:23We shall see. However, Elon Musk is a little less bullish that this thing's gonna work out. He wrote, Chris Nolan desecrated the Odyssey so that he would be eligible for an Academy Award. And you guys know that the Academy Award changed their rules a few years ago that if you wanna get an award, you have to have this many lesbians and this many midgets and clowns. And they did all that, you have to have the black this and like just ridiculous nonsensical woke DEI stuff. And it is possible, I mean, some directors do this. Like when you watch, who's the other one from Titanic? Who's the director of Titanic?

46:55From Alien and Titanic. No, no, what's his name? Come on, guys, you don't have to Google this. James Cameron. James Cameron, thank you. James Cameron, like you can see, he kind of, especially in the last, I watched the third Avatar the other day, like just falling asleep on the couch. It's like he wants an Oscar so badly. Like these guys, they just, they want the awards and whatever, that's, you know, getting accolades and all that is just fine. but perhaps instead of doing the woke thing, you might wanna just make the best movie possible. Anyway, from Polymarket, the Odyssey Rotten Tomatoes score, so we'll see how this shakes out, 34 % says it'll have a 95 plus, 60 % say 99, and what is it, 70 at 99 as well.

47:37So we shall see, we shall see. I'll leave it there. I think it's just an interesting cultural moment. And maybe I'll come back on Monday and be like, you know, I watched it and I thought the casting choices were actually okay. The story was wonderful and you can look past all that stuff. And that in and of itself would be interesting as we watch a certain set of people go crazy about it. That is my point. But now let's bring woke back into today. We're going to go to Canada in just a second, but first Shopify. Starting something new can be intimidating. There's always that voice asking, what if this fails?

48:07What if nobody notices? That's why having the right tools matters. And that's where Shopify comes in. Shopify powers millions of businesses around the world, giving entrepreneurs everything they need in one place. Online stores, payments, inventory, analytics, marketing tools, and more.

48:42That's shopify.com slash Rubin. This is a fun one for you that we got right here. We're going to go up to Toronto and over in Toronto, there was a, well, the Toronto Police Department released a video about escorting a trans woman because she felt unsafe. I probably shouldn't editorialize it any further. Connor, Go ahead. I was contacted by the Crown at the Ontario Court of Justice to assist with the case that they had. So they asked me to reach out to the victim and make sure she's safe and take her home. He drove me home in the fabulous Pride SUV. And as he was driving me home, we reached a stoplight and then an individual in a pickup truck came up to us.

49:26A transgender cop car. Look at that.

49:34Are you guys cops or you just identify as cops?

49:40That's none of your business and I'm hands-free. So there's nothing you can do. I'm just asking you a question, Sergeant, are you cops or you identify as cops? I have no idea. Reality doesn't exist anymore, right? Part of me was shocked, but part of me was not shocked. I am a trans woman. I've been transitioning for eight years. I get harassed and vilified every day of - You guys want to just do this one on your own? Can I just send that to every - You know what? Yeah, I think that's what we're gonna do. I'm just gonna send that to you. Whatever I'm thinking, we've done this once or twice before, about that whole fiasco.

50:19I'm just gonna send it through the internet now. Yeah, I don't have to do much more on that. I do love the fact that the guy was like, yeah, I'm driverless or I'm self-driving so my hands don't have to be on the wheel. Like that ended up, but the rest of it, like what? And by the way guys, here's the more even, if you thought that was ridiculous, oh we'll one-up you because this is what the left does over in Ontario, Canada. Well here's a police officer in high heels because what?

50:52Okay, this is not easy. I've never done this before. I don't wear shoes like this, But on Saturday, June 13th, the Bethesda House in Bowenville is hosting the Walk a Mile event. It's a fundraiser charity event supporting women and children affected by gender-based violence. And we would love for you to join us at that event. Walk a mile. Bring a pair of shoes. That's a serious country. These are serious people. That's a place you'd want to live that'll really protect you from bad guys. Funny, that's happening in Ontario, Canada, and that's what I would really want my police to be doing. Of course, on 10-year-old Canada, I also had a little of this not too long ago.

51:29Yeah, those are just jihadis on the street who will, yes, they mostly wanna destroy Israel and kill all the Jews from the river to the sea, but if you think they're going to leave Canada alone at the end of it, oh, you are mistaken. But at least you will have a police officer in heels to defend you as the jihadis are coming and they're beheading everyone you know and they've got the machetes and they're, oh God, I twisted an ankle. These Manolo blotics aren't as good as Jimmy Choo's. That was funny, guys. Nothing, nothing. Yeah. I don't even know what that is exactly, Manolo Oblodics and Jimmy Choo's.

52:01It just sounds right. Okay, this guy, this slimy snake of a grotesque human being who I've had the pleasure of interviewing twice, Ro Khanna. Now, you guys know, I've interviewed Ro a couple of times, and I've said it. On air, we disagreed about a bunch of stuff. He was for DEI, so he wanted his own brown Indian children to be discriminated against, although he wouldn't fully admit it. Every time I kept pointing out, so you want your children to be discriminated against. I don't think he believes in anything. And he has been so unmasked over these last couple weeks. So he went all in on the Graham Plattner thing and he was defending the Nazi and he was defending the womanizing and the sexual stuff.

52:42He just went all in on it, all in on it. And because he went all in on it and he's finding that nobody really likes him anymore because he used to paint himself as a moderate and now he's going on that all lefty thing. So all the Silicon Valley guys, which is his district, they used to like him. They're all bailing on him. No one likes him. And if you wanna be liked by the crazy progressive wing, what do you have to do? Well, you just have to hate Israel. Like if you hate Israel, they'll forget about a lot of stuff. So they'll forget that you're worth$240 million, Roe, at least for now. And they will forget that you were defending the Nazi.

53:14They'll do all that stuff. So he's just going all in with the Israel hatred. And he just did a theater stunt. He went to Judea and Samaria, which is where Jesus was from. Jesus was Jewish, by the way. Judea and Samaria where the story of Hanukkah took place, Jews defending their native land. And he pulled a full on stunt and has been exposed. So this from the National Review. Over the weekend, California representative Ro Khanna, who had been one of the biggest backers of disgraced former Senate candidate, Graham Plattner, raised alarms on social media about being detained by violent settlers in the West Bank and the IDF on Wednesday.

53:50The way Kana told it, he was touring the West Bank when a group of armed men stopped the vehicle, kicked the tires, and began harassing him and other occupants. The IDF arrived on the scene, he said, and sided with the settlers even after he told them they were Americans and he was a member of Congress. In reality, when the IDF and police received reports of armed civilians blocking the vehicle, soldiers arrived to disperse the civilians and then let Kana and the others continue on their way. This whole situation could have been avoided had Kana coordinated his visit with the Israeli government, which he chose not to do.

54:20It is obvious that Kana, who had a New York Times photographer with him, was eager to stage a confrontation. The Times reported on the story and Kana went to work on social media and in interviews trying to portray himself as a modern day Rosa Parks. This is the first time I've been acutely aware of being brown, he claimed, of his treatment he faced by Israelis. First off, let me just address the brown thing for a second. I have been to Israel at least a dozen times. There are brown people everywhere. There are black Jews. There are people from Tunisia and Morocco and all over Africa that are dark and black.

54:55There are Sephardic Jews that are darker than Ro Khanna. The idea that this had anything to do with his skin color is ridiculous. There are reasons that parts of, we've been to the West Bank. I took to Judea and Samaria. We shouldn't even call it the West Bank. It was always historically known as Judea and Samaria. You're not gonna believe where the Jews lived. And you have to be on certain roads because quite literally, we had to go in an armored vehicle because if you veer off, if we had veered off into an Arab village, they likely would have killed us. That is the absolute truth. So if you just show up in a car and you don't coordinate it with Israeli authorities, they call them settlers.

55:33They're people that happen to live in Judea and Samaria. They're a little concerned when a car just randomly shows up because I don't know, did you know about something called October 7th? The amount of terrorist attacks that these people have to deal with for months and months and years now on end, actually decades. So they tried to figure out who was there. But Roe, he brought a New York Times photographer with him. He has been doing a crazy media blitz. He is just the slimiest, dishonest liar. And now you can see he's even changing his language so he can connect it to what I actually believe is now his hatred of America.

56:09Watch this. You have a police force and the IDF that is aligned by extremist settlers in the same way in Jim Crow during the segregationist South, police were often aligned with the segregationists. This is not ideological. These are the facts. And any American who goes there will see this with their own eyes. He is just such a worthless piece of shit. I'm sorry. Like, first off, Roe, if you were to go to Israel proper, what you would see are 2 million Arabs, largely Muslim, some of them Christians, some of them are on the Supreme Court. They have all sorts of jobs and everything else. Go, Roe, you wanna see apartheid and you wanna see prejudice in Jim Crow laws?

56:49There are Jim Crow laws against the Palestinians in Lebanon and Jordan and Egypt. There are 50 Muslim countries where Jews can't live and Christians barely can live, but you don't care about any of that, I get it. You wanna run for president and what's the best way to gin up the base? You gotta lie about Israel, fine. Again, that they are extremist settlers. They're people who happen to live in Judea and Samaria. There are Arabs that live there and there are Jews that live there. Like it's just absurd and ridiculous. And you know, you might, if your country had been under relentless attack for decades and to the backdrop of the biggest slaughtering of Jews since the Holocaust, you might be a little worried when an unmarked car comes.

57:30So that's why people coordinate. All he had to do, all he had to do, but he purposely didn't do it, was coordinate with the Israeli government. That's it. So the settlers weren't violent towards him or anything else. like he's just lying repeatedly. Here he does actually admit that he went there without coordinating properly. Even more offensive than Netanyahu's responses and knowing that I was detained, an American congressman, was the Israeli ambassador's responses on Face the Nation. He says, how dare Ro Khanna go on a trip to the West Bank, Palestinian-led? He informed us he was going, but he didn't take up our offer to meet and coordinate with the Israeli government.

58:09as if that justifies being detained. I did that on purpose. I've been to Israel multiple times. I wanted to see the West Bank from the lens of the Palestinians. Yes, and the Israelis would have taken you wherever you wanted to go. It would have been tough for some of them to go, even the security people, because they might be killed. And by the way, you could just as easily be killed there, Ro. But you informed them, but then refused their security. So of course this was going to happen. You got exactly what you want. you slimy scumbag and then what do you have to do when you're a progressive and you hate israel well you gotta go talk to hassan piker you're a brown man in america it's not like america has been all too kind to to brown folk you're from pennsylvania um and and you're saying that this was a different kind that you had you would i believe you said something along the lines of You had never recognized your skin color as much as you did when you were traveling through the West Bank.

59:09I've never felt my race as much as I did in the three days I was in the West Bank. Never. You know, when I grew up in Pennsylvania in Bucks County, it was a middle class upbringing. He's such a freaking liar. It's incredible. You can go anywhere in Israel and there are no laws from stopping you because you're brown or Indian or black or anything else. you went to a place that is very dangerous, right? Very, very dangerous. And by the way, the way he frames it, that the way Hassan frames it, that being Indian, you know, the implication, he's brown, so he's Indian, that somehow that is bad in America.

59:48What is it? Indians have the highest? Oh, we have a chart here. Oh, median household income in the United States by ethnic group. Indians, Indians, number one. Indians, number one. Screw you, Filipinos, Taiwanese, and Sri Lankans. It's Indians, number one. That's how much they're discriminated against, right? That's what Hassan is saying. You know, America hasn't been good to you people. But you know what? I've really just had it with this guy. So I put this up yesterday and it went pretty viral. Did you know that Ro Khanna's two kids in elementary school own three private golf clubs in Ohio? Membership fees are up to$45 ,000.

1:00:27I highly recommend everyone ignore security at the clubs and just wander on to hit a few balls and see what happens. Maybe I'll swing by in August with some reporters. I do have a rather busy August when I'm off the grid, but I honestly might do it. I might just show up one day and just wander on. I assume his two kids who are elementary school age own three golf courses. That's pretty good. To get into these golf courses,$45 ,000 a year. You're such a great socialist, dude. And you're hiding, you're using, the reason your kids own it is it's a tax, for tax purposes, right? So you're a fraud at every possible level, but to walk in to that golf course, I'm sure they have security and there is a membership fee, but I may just do it.

1:01:07And I would recommend anyone do it. Like Roe, obviously it's fine. Just show up at the golf course and hit a few balls and see what happens. Of course, this could also end up as a sequel to Caddyshack. So I created these on AI. He could be, you know, Ted Knight was so freaking lovable from Too Close to Comfort and he was so great in that movie. Him and Roddy were so perfect. And the problem is that Roe is just not likable. And Ted Knight was, even as the bad guy, Judge Snails, Ted Knight was just so absolutely spectacular. Roe then, but he went on this crazy media blitz. He was on absolutely every show.

1:01:37And here he is on Fox with Jillian Turner calling out his complete and utter BS. Did you really not know that going into a restricted military area guarded by local security forces was going to result in your entourage getting stopped? It was not a area that was restricted by military. American Congress people had been there before. We went with with prior coordination. If I could just finish, please, because this should be an outrage to any American citizen what happened. Yeah, well done right there. Yeah. People have been there before because they coordinated. They can't have random cars just driving around to the backdrop of the insane amount of terrorism that these people have to put up with.

1:02:24If they didn't have not only soldiers there, but they have armed citizens. They have armed citizens that make sure you can't just enter their community and slaughter everybody. They're a little sensitive to that. But Ro, you are a scumbag piece of shit. And maybe I'll text you that later, Ro. Let's finish up with Iran. There's a couple updates happening. The on again, off again, up, down, cold, hot, cold, wet, dry, loose, tight war. Here we go again. This from Trump on truth. The Hormuz Strait is open and will remain open with or without Iran. We are reinstating the Iranian blockade, so named, because it is only stopping Iran's ships or customers from entering or leaving.

1:03:04All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait. The USA will be, from this point forward, known as the guardian of the Hormuz Strait, but as such, and as a matter of fairness, will be reimbursed at the rate of 20 % on all cargo shipped for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this volatile section of the world. The process and formation will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter. So that, all right, here we go again, right? Iran does not seem to be honoring the memorandum of understanding. JD tried, a lot of people felt it was a bit naive, is what it is.

1:03:43And now some bombs are falling again and Trump's saying we're taking the straight, which we can absolutely do. We can also take our Kargisland. where most of the oil is, and we can charge. And that seems to be where we are at. And Trump, again, seems to be, he seems to be coming around, and maybe he knew it all along, and he was just giving them some rope to hang themselves, coming around to the fact that you cannot trust these guys to honor a deal. But we had a deal. What nobody knows, we had a deal. It was a done deal. And then they broke it. They always break it. We've had 10 deals with these people.

1:04:16And so we're just going to hit them very hard. and we're going to keep the straight and we'll probably run it. We'll become the guardian of the straight. Maybe we'll call it the guardian angel of the straight. And we should be reimbursed for that. When we do that, we're going to be reimbursed because the other nations are very wealthy. They're on our side. And we can't be expected to do that for nothing unlike we had for many years. Yeah, again, this is where you just get honest Trump speaking freely. He obviously doesn't have notes in front of him. He's admitting we had all these deals. He says we had 10 deals.

1:04:45We had all these deals. They keep breaking them. so we're just gonna go back and we'll start charging and we will see what happens and we're gonna hit them and maybe eventually you can bludgeon them into submission. This from the United States Central Command. Central Command began launching the third consecutive night of strikes against Iran at the commander in chief's direction. These strikes will continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. And I'm told this just kicked in, this must've just happened in the last five or 10 minutes.

1:05:13So I'm reading it just as I'm seeing it with you guys from Fox News, President Trump says he will replace the 20 % reimbursement fee in the Strait of Hormuz with trade and investment deals that various Gulf states will be making into the US after highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership. The Strait of Hormuz is open to all ship traffic except for Iran and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious leadership, which is taking them down the path of total destruction. We will therefore have a full blockade, but only on ships coming to and from Iranian ports or carrying anything having to do with Iranian cargo.

1:05:49So, okay, we will see. We will, again, this is just another moment of we will see where this all goes. Everyone would like this, most sensible people, I would say, would like this war to wrap up. I don't think Trump wants to keep bombing them. I actually think it's not even Trump's preference necessarily to tax or tariff or whatever you wanna call it to straight up our moves or have to get their oil on Karg Island. I think he would like this thing to be wrapped up, but he's realizing, seemingly, that no matter what deal they sign, they're gonna keep doing things. And if you're the Iranians, you might have every interest in keeping us at war.

1:06:21You might keep signing things and delaying things so that we're at war, so that by the time the midterms run around, people are pissed at Trump. So there's multi, people talk about 3D chess, there's multiple things happening here at once. But let's try to end with this. We got two more clips for you. I wanna one more time go back to this awful, awful, just awful, no, it's not Roqana, awful Hassan Piker, because obviously Lindsey Graham passed away a few days ago. And well, here's what Hassan Piker had to say about Lindsey Graham. I'll start off by saying Lindsey Graham, in a long list of demonic entities, was exceptionally bloodthirsty.

1:06:59A bloodthirsty, odious monster who loved war. There was never a war that Lindsey Graham did not fall in love with. Mr. Ladybug himself. Lindsey Graham never met a baby in the third world. He did not want to evaporate with American munitions. It's profoundly disgusting, but it's like also deeply obvious the way these people behave. And I thought perhaps we would end the show on something a little bit different, which is this is a video of Lindsey Graham 11 years ago. So as you watch this guy basically called Lindsey Graham the devil and everything else, dancing on his grave, lying about his intentions.

1:07:41You don't have to agree with every one of Lindsey Graham's decisions, you really don't. But the idea that yes, what he wanted to do was kill babies and everything else is completely absurd. And let's contrast that with Lindsey Graham in 2015, talking about Joe Biden, who was his political opponent and how his relationship and feelings about Joe Biden, how he could extrapolate that to something he tried to include in his life, which I think is becoming more and more obvious over the last few days as you listen to what people say about him. If you can't admire Joe Biden as a person, then it's probably you've got a problem.

1:08:17You need to do some self-evaluation. Because what's not to like? Here's what I can tell you. That life can change just like that. Don't take it for granted. Don't take relationships for granted. I called him after Bo died. And he basically said, well, Bo was my soul. I've taught for a long time. He came to my ceremony and said some of the most incredibly heartfelt things that anybody could ever say to me. And he's the nicest person I think I've ever met in politics. Is that right? He is as good a man as God ever created. And we don't agree on much. But I think he's been dealt a really gut blow.

1:09:06I think he focuses on what he's got to do, not what he lost. His heart's been ripped out, but he's going to make sure that the other members of his family as well take care of him. He started talking about his grandkids. More worried about them than anything. That's a good man. That, again, you might have political disagreements with, and who cares? But there you've got this Hassan Piker lunatic dancing on his grave, talking about how evil he is, you know, he's the devil, blah, blah, blah. And there you have Lindsey Graham talking about someone who at the time was his political opponent, who they critiqued and criticized each other many, many times.

1:09:43And over the 10 years since that video, way more. But there he is talking about the human part of Joe Biden, a man who lost his wife and child in a car accident and who had been through an awful lot and that he could look past. And that moment, I mean, you could almost get chills up your spine where he says, what is it? Life could change in an instant. This is a guy who's on the phone with Donald Trump and then dead an hour later, just on Saturday night. That is something else. So maybe we need a little more of that spirit instead of the other spirit, right? Perhaps. And I talk to myself as much as I talk to you guys when I say it.

1:10:16We're gonna cold close with this, with another Lindsay thing, which is just fantastic. And really maybe another bit of a spirit that we could use right now. Reminder, post game show, 30 seconds, RubenReport.Locals.com. See you tomorrow. If you don't like me working with President Trump to make the world a better place, I don't give a. And there you have it.
