Reporter Goes Silent When Told Ugly Facts of Drug Boat Strikes

23:41There's the ethical issue, right? So there is some ethical issue around what do you do on this sort of second strike, you know, leave nobody alive. We've already addressed that ethical issue. Then there is a legal issue, but again, I don't think it's an international law issue. It's an American legal issue that we can discuss. But I would say what envelopes both of those is the signal issue. And the signal issue is stop screwing with us. So Jake, I would say next time you bring Kelly on, ask him more about the fentanyl crisis in America. Ask him if it's affected him at all. Actually, it's quite big in Arizona.

24:14Like maybe do a little of that. And why do you have so much sympathy for some guy that was trying to kill Americans, which is exactly what they were doing. Let's talk about Morgan & Morgan for a minute. And then we will jump over to New York City where the gangs have returned. If you've ever been seriously hurt in an accident, your injury could actually be worth millions. And most people have no idea. Insurance companies love to lowball claims offering way less than what you deserve. That's why there's Morgan & Morgan, America's largest injury law firm with over a thousand attorneys across 50 states.

24:46They've been fighting for people for more than 30 years and they don't settle for lowball offers. Just recently, they won$12 million in Florida,$26 million in Philadelphia, and$6.8 million in New York, all way above what insurance companies offered. And the best part, it's completely free unless you win. No upfront costs, no hidden fees. It takes only a couple minutes to see if you have a case. Did you know you can start a claim with America's largest injury law firm in just one click? It's super easy. Just go to forthepeople.com slash Rubin or click the link in the description and pin comment.

25:23You guys ever heard of New York City? It was once the greatest city in the history of the world. It was once the home of capitalism. It represented everything that was good about America. It was actually the place where so many legal immigrants came through to make their lives better for themselves and their ancestors and it all kind of worked. Well, it's soon turning into a third world shithole. It's had a lot of problems over the last couple of years. It's been on a slow decline. It's about to get on a much steeper decline. And Zorhan, moron Zamboni, hasn't even taken office yet. He's about to in a couple of weeks.

25:56But in preparation for the communist takeover of New York City, Tren de Aragua, one of my favorite transnational terrorist organizations, gangs, they are back in New York City. The NYPD says these are suspected members of the ruthless Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which has been infiltrating the U.S. for the last two years. Then when you fast forward, you see the same individuals where? In Times Square. So that's our concern. The NYPD says Trendy Aragua has been making it over the border with the migrant influx and is getting established in New York. What we do see is they are trying to grow.

26:40The gang has gone from petty crimes like shoplifting and stealing cell phones and jewelry to all out shootouts in the streets. Good luck, New York. Good luck. So this guy's not even in charge yet. The gangs have been coming here for two years. We know they were coming in illegally. We know the degradation of the New York City Police Department. We know that they are allowing all sorts of criminality. We know about the rotating cast of characters that come in and out of jails. We know about the amount of people that Moron Zamboni wants to let out of jail. So now you let some of these criminals out of jails.

27:13You've already got, like there is such a freaking toxic mess that is about to descend onto that great city. Like we're gonna need the Ghostbusters. We're really, it's gonna be like Ghostbusters too. The hate and the pink ooze is gonna start seeping through the cement and we are gonna need the Ghostbusters. How did that one end? Oh, they played that song in the Statue of Liberty. Like they're gonna have to do some crazy shit. That's the point. But nobody's coming. Nobody's coming to save you. And if you are sane, you must leave New York City and you must leave now. And this is all directly connected to everything that Biden and the auto pen did and Trump trying to clean it up.

27:44And that is why they hate Trump. So now let's jump over to CNN. We're going to show you the fun bumper, too, because here's Scott Jennings trying to help the less than bright Abby Phillips and her panel.

28:01And over half of Americans think that deportation, the deportation process thus far in the Trump administration has been mostly unfair. That's 53 percent. And then 51 percent say that ISIS tactics have gone too far. So, so to now, 35 and 12 is 47. That's very close. If you want, 47 is a very close number, Abby. OK, yeah. Yeah, but I can also, it's also math. 51 is a larger number than 47. Okay. So it's down from seven. I'm just saying, you're making this out like everybody's upset about it. It's pretty much a 50-50 issue and that's fine, but some people think he hasn't gone far enough. Right, okay, so you get it.

28:37And we've played you these videos where Abby Phillip is always saying she's trying to break conservatives out of her bubble and it's like out of their bubble. And it's like, she's the one in the bubble. Pull the numbers up again because Scott just did some basic math there, right? Like you're close to 50-50 on this. Now, again, first off, all of these polls, Well, you can see there's a 3.2 % margin of error. You're already at 50-50, basically. But the broader point about all of this is, is Donald Trump doing anything right now that he didn't promise to do? And the answer to that is obviously no.

29:08This is what he has been talking about for 10 years and largely could not accomplish in his first term where he was hampered for a million reasons and then COVID and everything else. He's doing exactly what he promised. Now, it might be that there are some people, even some who voted for Donald Trump, who are like, you know what, there's a few too many people getting caught up in this, right, like I didn't intend my housekeeper to get caught up in this. That, now, whether they're abandoning Trump is a different issue, and as I brought up yesterday, you know, they keep playing on CNN, all these two-time Trump voters are abandoning Trump, and there's just no evidence of that, right?

29:43He has 87 % approval within the GOP, and it's like, okay, if you don't like Trump, where are you going? Where are you going anyway? Okay, you're gonna become a Democrat? good luck with that. But it is possible that some people think it's gone a bit too far. But I think on the previous panel there, it said something like 13 % think it hasn't even gone far enough. And I think you absolutely can make an argument that we need to escalate this because we're rolling into a midterm election and Trump eventually will be a lame duck and will be hampered even further. So it seems to me the administration's doing the right thing.

30:13And I think the messaging is gonna get a little stronger on this as we roll into midterms, because I do think this is a winning message. Listen to this from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. I just met with the president. I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies. Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom, not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch benefits owed to Americans. We don't want them, not one. I mean, that is serious, freaking straightforward, you might argue, over-the-top language.

30:53But in the midst of what is happening with the Democrat Party, where there is a party that is wildly anti-America, that is wildly anti-capitalism, that does not like the founding of our country, to the backdrop of 20-plus million people who have come in, to all of the institutions that have failed us and taught all our kids the wrong things. As I said yesterday, when your house is burning down, you don't just invite a zillion other people to be part of it, right? You might want to start cleaning things up, get the fire extinguisher, we'll fix this room up first, see if we can make sure our family members all haven't burned, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

31:28This is Donald Trump who re-truthed that over on Truth So... Oh, no, no. Sorry, this is another thing. So Trump on Truth So wrote, welcome to Minnesota, great job, Governor Walz. And this is Amy Meck, And this is a woman who has been, she has been warning. I mean, this lady has been on the front end of warning about the Islamization of our country for years and years and years, and she's paid a price for it. Listen to what she wrote here that Trump was resharing. The Somali state of Minnesota. Minnesota is being systematically transformed. Its people replaced, its cities turned into foreign enclaves, its future rewritten by mass migration and soaring immigrant birth rates, all by design.

32:08130 ,000 new arrivals last year. Tens of thousands from Somalia, Ethiopia, and Mexico. Migrant birth rates soaring while native Minnesotans flee. Crime, welfare abuse, and Islamic influence exploding. Minneapolis already holds the largest Somali population in the United States, a hub for Sharia push and radical recruitment. You can see it on display at the Somali Culture and Music Night held this weekend. So if you watched the show yesterday, I mean, we showed you many of these videos. It does not mean that every single one of those people is horrible. But if you're bringing in people who have a wildly different set of you, who only wanna stay in their own little enclave, who don't wanna be part of the melting pot, et cetera, et cetera.

32:45Over time, that literally will break down the entire system, right? That is what will actually destroy America. America is not going to be destroyed because some rockets flew into Chicago, right? That's not gonna happen. It's not gonna be destroyed in a military sense that way, but it could be destroyed bottom up that you would bring in a whole bunch of people. The culture would collapse. We'd be at each other's throats. Next thing you know, all the women are in beekeeper costumes. Look at this from N. Wokeness. Kwanli Ibram abducted a 12-year-old in Minnesota and raped her. St. Paul Islamic Center wrote a letter of community support saying he has not assimilated into non-Somali culture.

33:21So again, do you want these people? Was this guy vetted properly? I don't know, where did this guy come from? Was he vetted properly? Who did they call? You know, this guy, he's interested in raping 12-year-old girls. You get it, you get it. Here is a Somali woman, this was going viral yesterday, talking about how she doesn't feel safe in Minnesota because of Trump, although a lot of people in her community are committing fraud. I'm not comfortable sometimes because when I drive, when I'm sitting somewhere, not comfortable like before. She says the president's recent focus on the Somali community is unnerving.

33:56What he said, we've affected all communities. We know some people, they make fraud, but not all. Late Thursday night, President Trump used a slur for people with intellectual disabilities to describe Governor Tim Walz.

34:12All right, first up, again, as a child of the 80s, a Gen X guy here, no one means retarded as in making fun of someone with mental handicap. It was just a thing we said about stupid people, and I think it's applicable to what's going on today. Now, as to what that woman said, lady, assuming you are legal, you actually don't have anything to worry about unless you're involved in some sort of, I don't know, terrorist organization or something like that. But it is interesting that you said, you know, some people involved in fraud, but not all. That sounds like she knows like quite a bit of fraud people.

34:41Have you reported any of the fraud people? I don't know, maybe called in the fact that I think your representative probably, Ilhan Omar, married her brother for immigration purposes. That sounds like fraud. And it gets, I mean, Minnesota, it's getting, you thought Dearborn was like the home of the insanity. But listen to this coming out of Minnesota. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison caught on tape pledging to help Somali fraudsters in exchange for campaign donations. And Elon Musk retweeted that. And he said, outright criminal fraud. That's the Attorney General. You know what the Attorney General is?

35:19He's like top lawyer, right? So the top lawyer of Minnesota was involved basically in a bribery scheme. So where are we? Did I have it taking a breath on today's show? Maybe it's the fumes that are getting to me. Where are we at this point? Let's do a little Rubin Reporter reset. Things are a little wacky at the moment. But guys, as I always say, as Ron DeSantis says, decline is a choice. It does not have to be this way. We've let it go a little too far. And it's going to be on all of the sane people. That includes you watching this to fix this thing. And I think one of the ways we fix it is to realize that we had something precious, right?

35:55We really did have something precious, and there are pockets of America that still have that precious thing. But we want to get that precious thing to scale again. Right now, stupidity, retardation, jihadism, communism, that's what's scaling. But how about we get decency to scale again? I saw this video a couple days ago. This is more like the type of video we would end the show with, but I think it'll set up this next segment nicely. This is from 1965, and this is at a supermarket. They're talking about how they had to go about doing business in America when things were, let's say, a little less complicated.

36:30The first order of business is to greet the customer. Then comes an important moment of caution. Is the bottom of the card empty? I always make certain there are no missed items that might get through unchecked. There's no such thing as an almost right in this business. If I overcharge, I cheat the customer. If I undercharge, I'm unfair to the store. Fractions mean you charge the next penny. Dropping the fraction can be costly. It might well represent the entire profit on this order. Okay, I think you're gonna see why I'm playing that. I love showing those old things because I think it does help remind us of the way things kind of used to be.

37:10And it doesn't mean that everything was freaking perfect in 1965. But like the idea that they were putting out public service announcements where first off, it was an honorable job to work at a grocery store, which of course it still is, right? And that then you have the woman and she's concerned about not only the customer, making sure they don't forget something, but also concerned about her boss and the company and the store that no one's gonna cheat from them and talking about the fraction of the penny and all of those things. And that was the exchange of things, right? Imagine that woman with her beautiful Aquanet hair and everything else.

37:41Imagine that woman working at a Best Buy these days during a summer of love month. And she's standing at the register and some kid's running out with the 57-inch plasma and the LED and the, I'm starving, I need a PlayStation. Like she'd be pissed, that lady. She would not be very, very happy. So the choice is we can either have something like that where we're kind of all decent people and we're a little different in our own little way, but we all believe in the idea of the system, right? We can either do that or we could do this. Into our studio, this is Patrick Tyson. According to investigators, Tyson poured alcohol on the floor and couch where a woman was sitting and then set it on fire.

38:20The victim told police Tyson demanded she bring him a beer and threatened to set her on fire if she didn't. When the alcohol ignited, her shirt caught fire, but authorities say it burned off. However, she was not too badly injured in that, thankfully. Well, at least she wasn't badly injured. But I think you see the point, guys. We can keep doing these crazy stories. Believe me, there's a plethora of these types of things where random people try to burn people, urinate on them, throw them over the subway, inject them with weird stuff, rape the sister. We can do all these things. Or we could be more like the lady who was like, I want to make sure that you get all your groceries.

38:56And I also want to make sure that the boss man gets paid. Like, which seems better? I want to show you this. We showed you this the other day. But again, I think it's worth noting as we're talking about all of this. These are three beautiful young women who are no longer with us. And what you're seeing below in this, and in some sense, this doesn't have anything to do with skin color, this has everything to do with culture, the three men who murdered those three women, 125 combined arrests. So decline is a choice. The judges who look at the rap sheets and then, oh, well, you've been in jail 18 times.

39:30You did try to burn that woman alive. Let them out one more time. I got a teen time and a half hour. I can't deal with this shit. Like enough, Enough, enough. And you know what also happens when you do all these bad things? You put an insane strain on the good people in the system. And there are good people in the system, our law enforcement agents and our ICE agents. There are plenty of good people trying to do a good job. You know, there was this guy, Damian James Madison, who was a 27-year-old who shot a deputy's car in Washington. And we showed you this video, this is from a couple of weeks ago, where here's now the sheriff talking about how many times they had arrested and pursued this guy.

40:06And it's like, we are making, this is the good guy. The guy we are about to show you is the good guy. And look how difficult we are making his job while we are releasing people who are killing beautiful young women. He's got a felony warrant at a Thurston County Sheriff's Office because this is the third time we've pursued this individual in six months. So the last time I talked about him, I actually specifically stated that if the judges don't start taking this seriously, that someone's gonna get hurt or killed. And here we are shooting at the police. So maybe they'll take it more serious this time, but I'm not confident.

40:37Yeah, it's hard to believe this is going to end peacefully.

40:43Okay. So you have good guys that are trying to do the right thing, but imagine you're a police officer. So imagine you're a police officer in New York City right now, right? That was in Washington. But imagine you're a police officer in New York City right now. Trenderio Agua is back. You're a sanctuary city. You know about the drugs. You know about the crime. You know that if you arrest someone, they're just going to be sent back out again. Over time, you will no longer be good at your job and it won't be your fault. There will be no point in doing your job. And that's why the New York City Police Department, which is the size of, which is way bigger than most armies in the world, literally, in terms of membership and the amount of people that are in those uniforms, that's why they're bleeding membership right now.

41:19That's why they're dropping standards, physical and mental standards, because they can't get the good guys anymore, right? They can't get people to do it anymore. Those guys are getting a bonus now in Florida. They're coming down. De well-qualified New York City police officers to come down here. So the red-blue divide, we're getting stronger and stronger and stronger, and they're getting weaker, and it's by their own choosing. Of course, another place that this is happening is Chicago, and Brandon Johnson, who is the mayor there, who simply, can I get the numbers on how many black people were shot and killed this weekend?

41:51He simply does not care how many people get killed on his streets. He only cares about going after Trump. Here he explains that jailing people is just racist. We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence. We've already tried that. And we've ended up with the largest prison population in the world without solving the problems of crime and violence. The addiction on jails and incarceration in this country, we have moved past that. It is racist, it is immoral, it is unholy, and it is not the way to drive violence down. You know, I'm going to try. I'm going to really try. you might be right at some extent that we jail too many people.

42:33Maybe we do have to rethink overall jailing, but not as it comes to shooting people and raping people and the violent crimes. Like there's not much more you can do with that. Is it possible we're jailing too many people on certain petty crimes or white collar crimes that you can maybe get more community service out of them? I don't know, maybe something, but that's obviously not what he's talking about. One thing he's not talking about also is that 11 people were shot in Chicago this past weekend, three killed. You're not going to know any of their names because it was likely black people shooting black people.

43:04And that doesn't fit their narrative. Naib Bukele, who is the president of El Salvador, which was once the most violent place in the world, which is now basically the safest country in the, in the Western world. He saw Brandon Johnson talking about that, that you can't, you can't incarcerate your way out of violence. And he wrote this with charts. Those are charts. He said, you can literally incarcerate your way out of violence. That's precisely why incarceration exists in the first place. And again, that's the signal, the signal. What signal is Brandon Johnson saying to people in Chicago right now?

43:40He sees the mayhem there. And the thing that he is sending out to people is we're not even interested in jailing you, right? Versus what's going on in El Salvador. Well, they had a massive drug problem. They had a massive gang-related violence program. They had so many problems that the gangs, and I'd been there a couple of times, before it got cleaned up. And I had to, my brother-in-law was doing some volunteer work there and we had to stay in a barbed wire, highly secure place. That's where basically anyone, if you were American or just not from there, you had to stay in absurdly secure area.

44:11And you were told not to walk out and everything else. The gangs were running the streets. They were literally going to homes and they would just kick people out of their homes and then take the home. There There was no police to do anything. They finally fixed that, but they did it by incarcerating people. It's not because you wanna jail everybody. It's because if you don't do that, you end up punishing the good people. And that is exactly what is about to happen in New York City. Phoenix, scroll up for me a little bit here. Moron Zamboni, the incoming mayor of New York City, who is a communist with a little bit of jihad on the side.

44:46Here he is saying that he told Trump that ICE raids are cruel and inhumane, although he's gonna have to suck it up because they're coming. When I met with the president, I made very clear that these kinds of raids are cruel and inhumane, that they are raids that do nothing to serve the interests of public safety, and that my responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home, and that includes millions of immigrants, of which I am one. But you're not an illegal immigrant, you fucktard. That's better than retard. Fucktard, that's what I'm gonna say for now on.

45:24The way they conflate this and that they can never make the distinction between legal and illegal. Look, it shows, the fact that you're a citizen of the United States shows that our vetting process is not proper, right? Okay, fine. But going in, if your job, as you say, is to do the best for the people of New York City, you should be doing the best for the legal people of New York City. and then Bernie, that fucking useless old windbag that he sits there nodding along, nodding along. Bernie, you've got three houses. Offer one to some illegal immigrants. I'm sure some Trendy Aragua people would love to get out of the winter in New Hampshire and go to your summer home somewhere.

46:01Like, get cracking, man. But what were Bernie and Zorhan doing together? Well, they were out there picketing Starbucks. That's right, because apparently bitter, dark coffee is not something that socialists are into. Listen to this. Starbucks CEO, this is from Zorhan himself, Starbucks CEO Brian Nicole made$95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them. Now, this is interesting. Leave that up for a second, Connor, because he's saying the workers of Starbucks are striking for the bare minimum. Well, we did a little checking and it turns out that the workers at Starbucks, they get an awful lot.

46:40They have a four, here's just, I'm going to show you some of this. I'm not going to read all of this, but they have some of the best benefits in the country for a corporation like this. They have a 401k with a hundred percent match on the first 5%, which is almost unheard of in retail. They have a hundred percent tuition paid upfront for ASU online bachelor's degrees. There's a whole bunch of stuff, free drinks every shift, 30 % off food merch, weekly markout for coffees and teas. They get free Spotify premium. Like they get all of these things, but it's the bare minimum. And it's always the bare minimum because you guys just want more.

47:14Here is Moron and Douchebag.

47:33Like so many working people across this city, these are not demands of greed. These are demands for decency. These are workers who are simply being asked to be treated with the respect that they deserve. Okay, so they just want respect and everything else. Now, we already showed you, like, there might be some, and I have no doubt that there are, there's some places that really take advantage of their workers and don't pay them enough and don't give them any benefits, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But Starbucks ain't won. What you are doing, obviously, by going after Starbucks, Starbucks, because it is a successful corporation that makes, you know, I actually like Starbucks.

48:09coffee. I like kind of darker. I know it's a little bitter for some people, but I generally like sterling the coffee. 33. So the average just barista there is making about 33K, but largely that's a part-time job. It's usually an entry level thing. But the point is Starbucks represents capitalism. So the funny part is I watched that video yesterday, last night, and I was trying, we were trying to figure out the show for today. And I'm watching that video and they're there, we want to be treated fair, blah, blah, blah. And of course they want more money and all these things. And I was like, you know what, Joseph, can you find, I have no doubt it exists.

48:40Can you find me some video of a robot making coffee somewhere? Because all of these people are about to be replaced. And not only did we find one, we found one from Starbucks. Here is Starbucks in South Korea. Robots, enjoy.

49:21I like that song. We could put that on the Rubin Report Party playlist. A little funk, yeah. So Starbucks right now in South Korea, a thousand of those robots exist and they only need two people to tend to them. So they can make the drinks, they can deliver the drinks, and everything else. So you idiots, this is, and for years we've been talking about this. You guys keep demanding that we artificially inflate salaries. Pay people$25 an hour. And then what happens? Burger King replaces them with iPads. They literally lose their job. Businesses close because they cannot afford to do it. Now you can make some argument that does that guy need 95 mil a year?

49:59I don't know. Well, it's not my right to say how much someone is worth, right? But you guys are artificially trying to inflate wages. And then what is going to happen? You're doing it, it's just so, it's dumb even if robots weren't here, it doesn't really make sense. But to the point that we are on the verge of the robots and AI replacing so many people, you guys are trying to actually accelerate it. And the reason you want to accelerate the destruction is because you want to use the destruction as proof that capitalism doesn't work, even though that's not the case. What you might want to do, Bernie and Moron, is instead of trying to burn everything down and tell us how bad capitalism is and how awful America is and how bad policing is and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, you might want to start building things, like actually provide value to people because that is what inspires.

50:48That is what creates. I know that's not your thing, but you might want to try that. And here is Elon Musk on, well, that. You know, if you want to create something valuable financially, you don't pursue that. that it's best to actually pursue providing useful products and services. If you do that, then money will come as a natural consequence of that as opposed to pursuing money directly. Just like you can't sort of pursue happiness directly, you pursue things that lead to happiness. But there's not like direct happiness. So you do things like, I guess, fulfilling work or study or friends, loved ones, that as a result, make you happy.

51:36You know, it's so interesting. He's doing a sort of Jordan Peterson version of what Jordan does at the psychological level, he's doing at the economic level, that you don't pursue happiness. You do things that basically provide value. You do things that are meaningful, and then you might become happy on the other side. Just pursuing happiness doesn't do anything, right? And that's why it's exactly why all of these people, these masked morons and these Hamas brigade idiots, it's why they are so miserable. It's why they never build anything. They're only interested in destroying things. And it's a deeply, from the Jordan perspective, it's a psychological thing.

52:10But what Elon is talking about there is that if you want to be on the, in essence, you want to be on the adventure of life, go start doing some stuff. And then the hate, the desire to destroy, the endless desire to be out there boycotting Starbucks, which is actually doing good, doing right by people like you, it will flit away because you will have some meaning in your life. Another way to look at this is see what other good people who are creating things are doing. So this is a little lengthy, but I think it is worth reading all this because it's spectacular. There's a guy named Breezy on X who put this up.

52:44He said, be Shane Copeland. We will tell you a bit about Shane Copeland in just a moment, but look at this. So Shane Copeland, who is now on the front cover, there he is as a kid, he's probably, what, 14 years old. There he is now, he is the Prince of Prediction who runs Polymarket. We'll have more on that in a second. And look at this, look at his track record. It's a lot of bullet points. Email the SEC at age 14 asking how to create new marketplaces. He didn't get a response. He showed up uninvited at Genius HQ at 16 and he got hired. He went to New York University. He then dropped out. You thought we were gonna get you on that one.

53:16Try a bunch of crypto projects. Get realized that none works. still keep building. Launch Polymarket in 2020 to fix misinformation. The first market is when does New York City reopen? Expanded to politics, sports, culture, volume explodes. Regulators enter the chat. CFTC finds him 1.4 mil and blocks users in 2022. The FBI raids his apartment in 2024. It seizes some devices. The media calls it unregistered gambling. He calls it political. Investigation dropped in 2024. He then acquires a CFTC licensed exchange. One week later, Polymarket's suddenly on track for full US launch. Shane walks in wearing a t-shirt and jeans and a bagel bag.

53:54Spreacher tries to buy Polymarket on the spot. ICE invests$2 billion for 25 % in October of 2025. The valuation jumps to$9 billion. The college dropout becomes a billionaire at 27. The blue-eyed, mop-haired kid versus the New York Stock Exchange, American Innovation picture. That's the one we just showed you. Billionaires pile in. Polymarket partners with NHL, UFC, DraftKings, Google Finance and Yahoo Finance integrate PM data, Polymarket data. Prediction markets become mainstream overnight. Critics call it unregulated gambling loophole. Supporters call it next Wall Street. Institutions prepping to plug Polymarket data into indices five years after founding, one year after FBI raids, stands in front of the New York Stock Exchange, watches a giant Polymarket banner rise against all odds.

54:39Like, how about you try that? Kid who's out there protesting Starbucks who probably doesn't even work at Starbucks. How about you get a job so you have something to do during the day and start thinking anyone can do anything in life? That's the secret. That's the fucking secret. Here's Shane Copeland telling Anderson Cooper about how great it is to have a company that has a$9 billion valuation. What valuation now has Polymarket been given? $9 billion post-money valuation. $9 billion. Did you anticipate that? I mean, I didn't start it to not get here, you know? Shane Copeland is now a billionaire, at least on paper.

55:16In Polymarket, it still hasn't made any profit. It gives away its main product, its predictions, for free and doesn't charge fees on trades. OK, so look, we can talk all about their business model. And, you know, there's a difference between$9 billion on paper and having it in the bank and all of those things. But the point is, the kid who was nobody doing nothing, which is what most people start as, he had a dream. He pushed, he saw the way the winds were blowing. He decided to do something and the market found value in that. And that is how you build. And now then he can go on to the real adventure, which is what Jordan and Elon are talking about.

55:53Then you can go on and find happiness because you started doing something valuable. And then the connections that will be made throughout your life and the world will be literally mind-blowing. And I can tell you that from my own experience. Here he is watching the Polymarket banner rise at the New York Stock Exchange.

56:14Thank you.

56:50so

56:58man even without sinatra singing in the background my way it's probably probably my favorite song you got to get the lyrics from sinatra that is what the american dream is all about and I can tell you guys a smaller version of that is that when I started Locals, I saw a problem in the market, right? I saw censorship from big tech. I wanted to create something that would allow creators to have a one-on-one relationship with their audience without having to go through big tech. We created something for me. We then spun it off for a few other creators. We got some investment. It took years and years.

57:26There were years, 2020 and 2021. I was doing way more work trying to build Locals than I could even for the show. And there was no profit. There was no money to be made. There was no salary that I took. I was putting in my own money and it was blood, sweat and tears. And half the time, you know, I'd spend eight, literally eight hours a day, Zoom call, Zoom call, Zoom call, Zoom call, trying to raise funds or something, having no idea if it was ever going to work. And then eventually not only did it start working, but then we merged with Rumble and then Rumble went public and I was able to be at NASDAQ as that button was pushed.

57:55It's a slightly smaller version of that, but it's because we created something with value. It wasn't just, it wasn't, I didn't just sit there and bitch and moan and complain and pick at Starbucks. I went out and did something and you can do that too. speaking of doing cool things, I'm going to Mar-a-Lago tonight because there is a PragerU event that I will be doing with Glenn Beck and my old friend Larry Elder, who I have not seen in a year or two. And I'm very excited for that. So the three of us will be talking. I think there'll probably be a few other people there. So who knows? Maybe someone watching this will be there.

58:25So we'll do an abbreviated post-game show and then we'll see everybody else tomorrow. RubenReport.Locals.com, 30 seconds. Ciao.
