In short

Dave Rubin’s commentary on early stages of “Operation Epic Fury” against Iran, focusing on claims that U.S./Israel actions are going “extremely well,” correcting alleged misinformation about who initiated the strikes, and arguing Democrats oppose the war for political reasons. He also discusses shifting Middle East alliances, domestic U.S. politics, and radicalization concerns.

Guest backgrounds

No guests are interviewed in the provided transcript. Rubin references public figures (Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Steve Witkoff, Jennifer Griffin, Hakeem Jeffries, Gavin Newsom, Keir Starmer, Ilhan Omar, etc.) but does not name any studio guests.

Key claims

Israel did not force the U.S. to strike; the U.S. chose to act first to prevent Iran from becoming more capable. Rubio’s “Chang” refers to Chiang Kai-shek as slang for overwhelming response. Attacks are “pinpoint precision” and avoid hospitals/civilian infrastructure. Iran is “decapitated” and losing naval/air capabilities; new allies (e.g., Saudi Arabia) may join.

Notable examples

Rubio’s press conference timeline dispute; Trump’s quote suggesting he “might have forced Israel’s hand”; alleged submarine torpedo sinking of an Iranian warship; Qatar confirmation of an Iranian missile hitting Al-Udeid Air Base (no casualties reported); reported deaths of four U.S. Army reserve soldiers in Kuwait; Saudi Arabia preparing air strikes inside Iran; U.S. State Department help for 130+ Americans leaving Israel.

0:00I've tried a lot of seafood over the years, guys, and truly it's been hit or miss. You know, sometimes it looks great, but then you cook it and it just doesn't have that flavor or freshness you expect. So finding something reliable has made a huge difference. Wild Alaskan Company really changed that for me. It's the best way to receive high-quality, wild-caught seafood delivered right to your door on your schedule. The first box I got was super easy to use. Everything comes individually portioned and vacuum sealed, so there's no guesswork. I cooked that wild Alaskan sockeye salmon just in a pan with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and it turned out fantastic.

0:34Clean flavor, great texture, and didn't feel like frozen fish at all. I've also tried the wild Pacific cod, which I love. It's light and flaky and really easy to work in when you need a quick dinner. What stood out is that the fish is quick frozen right after it's caught in Alaska, so it locks in that freshness along with the nutrients like omega-3s. And it's clean, no GMOs, no antibiotics, no additives, and it supports sustainable fishing in Alaskan fishermen. They're so confident in the quality that there's 100 % satisfaction, money-back guarantee, so there's no risk in trying it.

Did I smoke weed this morning?

2:22Mark Levin wanted it. It's his war. Ben Shapiro. Trump, go to war. Go to war. I'm Ben Shapiro. I talk fast. He didn't go to the U.S. We didn't go to the U.S. Let's go to the Legion of Doom.

2:56All right, everybody. What is going on? I am Dave Rubin. This is The Rubin Report. It is March 4th, 2026. You've shared, you've subscribed, you've tapped the notification bell, and you often watch the program. So you know what we do. We try to give you the news of the day in a unfiltered way, a little bit of humor. Let's dive right in. There's just a lot going on. Obviously, the Iran war, you know, we're four days into this thing. The bumper sticker of today's show is it is going extremely well. And not only is it going well, we have a series of hyper competent people from Trump all the way down who are explaining what we are doing, who are showing us evidence, who are making sure that our resources and allies are taken care of.

3:46And we are now fighting an enemy that is, as I said yesterday, a sort of wounded animal. If you had a wounded animal in a corner, it would just be lashing out any which way to survive. And that's kind of what the Iranian regime is doing at this point. They've pretty much been decapitated in terms of leadership, both politically and militarily. They're firing rockets all over the place. They've involved basically 10 other countries now in this thing, and it's going well. And if we just have a little belief in America, a little trust in Donald Trump, who's been directionally right about everything for the last 10 years, and a little hope, a little hope, and no, it's a little, we're gonna need a little more than that, a little hope and a little bit of grit for those Iranian people who are going to take their country back.

4:32I think we are in a sort of World War II moment here, meaning that when World War II was done, maps were drawn differently, alliances were drawn differently, and that's what we are going to see here. We are going to see just a completely rejiggered world that we've been sitting on something for about 75 years that's going to be completely changed. So let's dive right in. Let's start with Marco Rubio, because there was a whole bunch of misinformation about a statement that Marco Rubio made yesterday as to whether basically Israel forced the United States into this strike. And people were selectively editing the usual suspects, I don't even have to name them, you can figure out who they are, were selectively editing video to make it seem like Israel somehow pulled the trigger first, thus forcing the United States' hand.

5:26Completely untrue. Here's Rubio cleaning it up. They said that Israel is dictating the timeline for the United States. And as you know, several people on the right have also agreed with that. How would you respond to that? Well, the United States made a decision under the president of the United States made a decision. This is intolerable. Iran cannot have these missiles, cannot have these drones, cannot threaten the world. The president said this is the weakest they've ever been. If we don't hit them now, a year from now, a year and a half from now, no one will be able to touch them and they'll be able to do whatever they want.

5:52And he made a decision to go. And he made a decision to go in a joint operation because it gave us the highest chance of success. And he made the decision to go first because he concluded that we were not gonna get hit first. We were not gonna absorb a blow from them. We were gonna go first. He was not gonna run the risk that they could attack us before we could hit them because in addition to costing lives, it would undermine the effectiveness of our operation. Okay, so it was interesting the way the question was worded because we expect everybody on the left to lie about anything as it pertains to this administration and Trump and everything else.

6:23Like that's just old hat and we're used to it. The question was framed though, going some people on the right are saying it too. I already addressed enough of this stuff about some of the influencers on the right. So I'm not even gonna get into that today, but there's Rubio just completely blowing up the notion that somehow Israel tricked or forced Trump to do this. And of course, I think we showed this to you yesterday, but it's worth a quick review. It's a short video. Here's Trump saying that perhaps he actually forced Israel. The Press, President, did Israel force your hand to launch these strikes against Iran?

6:52Did that not pull the United States into this war? I might have forced their hand. You see, we were having negotiations with these lunatics, and it was my opinion that they were going to attack first. They were going to attack. If we didn't do it, they were going to attack first. I felt strongly about that. And we have great negotiators, great people, people that do this very successfully. and have done it all their lives very successful. And based on the way the negotiation was going, I think they were gonna attack first. And I didn't want that to happen. So if anything, I might've forced Israel's hand.

7:30All right, so there you have both Rubio and President Trump completely cleaning up an absolutely unfounded rumor pushed by lefties and certain people on the right about the sequencing here. And by the way, once again, You know, we showed you that video yesterday of Trump 40 years ago talking about Iran. That's everything Trump said right there is so consistent with what he has been saying about Iran altogether. Can you trust these guys? Obviously, the answer is no. We also showed you the video yesterday of negotiator, one of the chief negotiators of these talks between America and Iran, Steve Witkoff, basically saying the Iranians came in.

8:08They said they were enriching uranium at higher percentages than we expected. and they could basically produce 11 bombs and they were basically saying, we're not gonna do anything about it, meaning we're not gonna stop or pull back or anything else. So as Rubio pointed out repeatedly in his press conference yesterday, you don't wait for the bad guys to have more weapons and be more prepared. And on top of everything else, as a military, you don't also just tell everybody all of your secrets and maneuvers. So is it fairly obvious in that thing, in that this thing is going so successfully and we've completely obliterated the Iranian Navy.

8:46We've decapitated the leadership politically and military and all that stuff. And that we have air superiority over them. And there's, I think, like 200 Israeli F-15s now flying over the country. All of that stuff. Was there obviously a plan here? Yes, there obviously was a plan. And then you have negotiations. You either trust that they're gonna work or not. And then you make a move. So anyway, I just thought that was worth putting out there because there are just so many people lying, just every which way in AI slot videos and the rest of it. I thought this was interesting yesterday because this thing's going extremely well.

9:19It's been pinpoint precision across the board. And here's Rubio saying, we're gonna unleash Chang. The last point I would make is, and I said this yesterday and I repeat, what's about to, you know, you're about to see, you know, we're gonna unleash Chang on these people in the next few hours and days. You're gonna really begin to perceive a change in the scope and in the intensity of these attacks as, frankly, the two most powerful air forces in the world take apart this terroristic regime and defang it and take away its ability to threaten its neighbors or hide behind a zone of immunity that allows them to develop their nuclear ambitions.

9:54This terroristic, radical, cleric-led regime cannot be ever allowed to have nuclear weapons. We saw what they were willing to do to their own people. They were willing to slaughter their own people in the streets. Imagine what they would do to us. Imagine what they would do to others. Under President Trump, that will never, ever happen. Okay, so again, you can agree or disagree with what we're doing here or anything else, but what we have is clearly competent people explaining what we are doing and why they are making the argument for doing it. Now, the thing that got the internet going was what is Chang?

10:31That sounds like a bad guy from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Turns out that, well, we checked, Rubio used the phrase Chang as slang referencing the late Chinese nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek to suggest a forceful and overwhelming military response. And if you want to see a little Chang, here are the strikes happening just in the last couple hours over the skies of Tehran.

11:01Oh.

11:09Chang in video form. And note, we are not blowing up hospitals. We are not going for civilian infrastructure. We are doing pinpoint precision attacks on military installations and trying to weaken the regime so that the people, the Persian people of Iran, can take over so that we can boot the Islamist mullahs and the ayatollah and ayatollah two and three and four and five and six, and they're going to keep rolling through, and that the people can have their country back. Here's Trump on a bit more of how well Epic Fury is going so far. That is coming along, as you see very well. They have no Navy.

11:49It's been knocked out. They have no Air Force. It's been knocked out. They have no air detection. It's been knocked out. Their radar has been knocked out. And just about everything's been knocked out. So we'll see how we do. But we're doing very well. We have a great military. All right. So isn't it just nice to hear a president, you know, just try to contrast this with Biden or Kamala or any of these people. It's like, first off, we wouldn't be doing anything good. They would never be saying anything good about America. We wouldn't feel good about our military. Like, we're actually being trained right now to understand how to win again.

12:26And that's why I say a little imagination is involved again, is necessary, right? Because it's like, we've been so bludgeoned with America's not great. and we can't really do anything anymore. And yeah, we made mistakes in the past and that means we can't do anything in the future. And it's just not that way. We are fixing the wrongs of the previous administration in real time. So now I wanna show you something interesting. Pete Hegseth gave an absolutely all-star, all-star level press conference this morning. And Derek, can I pat myself on the back? I don't do it that often. Can I just, thank you, Connor.

13:03and I'm gonna pat myself on the back. On November 13th, 2024, was right when Pete Hegseth was nominated to be then Defense Secretary, now we call it Department of War. And remember, they were really trying to take him out and claim he was an alcoholic and he had a mean tattoo on his arm and all this stuff. And Joseph went in this morning, and this is my, from the day he was nominated, this was what I said about Pete Hegseth. I think there is every bit of evidence to see why Pete Hegseth is gonna be an excellent head of the Department of Defense. Not only it's his track record, but as a television personality, he will be able to get up there and deal with the tough questions and communicate the policies properly and everything else.

13:48I do know Pete, like I would say fairly well. I was on Gutfeld with him a couple of weeks ago. We've done each other's shows many times. I've seen him, hung out with him backstage. He's a good guy. He loves this freaking country. And I think he is going to do a bang up job. First of all, darker beard, Dave Rubin, much more effective. No glasses. That's not necessary. Can't see anything, but it looks better. Look, that was my prediction then. And it has borne out to be completely right. Here is example 62A slash B. An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters.

14:30Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo. Quiet death. The two most powerful air forces in the world will have complete control of Iranian skies, uncontested airspace. I hope all the folks watching understand what uncontested airspace and complete control means. It means we will fly all day, all night, day and night, finding, fixing, and finishing the missiles and defense industrial base of the Iranian military. We will avenge them, no doubt. But I liken Iran's predicament to a football team who scripted the first 20 plays of a game. The team knew what plays to run because their first few drives were scripted.

15:17But now that the game has started and the blitz is on, they don't know what plays to call, let alone how to get in the huddle and call those plays. Iran's senior leaders are dead. To our steadfast partner, Israel, your mission is being executed with unmatched skill and iron determination. Fighting shoulder to shoulder with such a capable ally is a true force multiplier and a breath of fresh air. We salute your courage and your contribution. Four days in, we have only just begun to fight. America fights to win, and in Operation Epic Fury, we are. May God's providence cover and protect our troops always.

16:33of war, and he is clearly communicating what we have done, why we are doing it. We're taking out using torpedoes. I think somebody said it was the first time a torpedo has taken out a warship since World War II or something like that. Don't fully quote me on that, but someone can check me on something like that. Also, where he talks about the unmatched skill and working shoulder to shoulder with Israel, and of course, that's going to get all of the Israel haters freaking out, but it's like what other ally in the world ever carries their weight? Does the UK do anything? Does anyone fear France?

17:07Is Brussels? Spain? Spain is now completely at odds with us. Like all of Canada, they're gonna do jack shit. So we have an ally in a dangerous part of the world that works with us and gets incredible intelligence and has an incredible military that is in complete sync with us. That's what they fear, right? What did he say is something, it was that we have complete air dominance, The two most powerful air forces in the world are working together. Iran is not going to win this thing. So what is Iran doing? They're being just smacked around relentlessly. The regime doesn't know what to do. A lot of people are saying, basically, it's just like a bunch of broken systems now.

17:49So they're just firing all over the place because nobody's in charge anymore. Here on News Nation, they talk about how Qatar has confirmed that Iran did hit the Al-Udid Air Force Base, which is the largest American air force base in the Middle East in Qatar. And it's like, why would they be striking Qatar? Does that really make any other sense other than they are an animal in its last grasp? All right, we're getting some breaking news. We've got confirmation that an Iranian missile managed to hit the largest American base in the Middle East. It is the Al-Udin base in Qatar. And according to the Qatari defense minister, air defenses managed to intercept one of two missiles.

18:29One was intercepted. The second managed to get through and hit the base. There were no casualties, according to reports. We do not know the extent of the damage. But again, Qatar is confirming a successful Iranian ballistic missile strike on the United States' largest base in all of the Middle East. All right, so I was right about what I said a moment ago. So it was the first time that a submarine shot a torpedo to destroy a warship since World War II. So that quite literally means we are winning the war underwater and we are winning the war about 75 miles above sea level. It is absolutely extraordinary what we are doing right now.

19:10And just remember, whatever bad guy exists in the world, whatever bad actors there are, terrorist groups, countries with nefarious means, they're looking around and going, oh, snap. Maybe we should ease up on some of our bad intentions because these guys aren't messing around anymore. And what did we have before Trump? We had a man with dementia who said don't and a woman who knew an awful lot about concentric circles also saying don't. And the country did. and now we are fixing all of that. But as I said, Iran now just firing all over the place. Here's a little bit more of some of the crazy stuff they're doing.

19:48I'll read while you check out some video here. Breaking, the US consulate in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is on fire after reports of a possible Iranian drone strike. No word on injuries or casualties as of right now, and we'll just continue. This is from Red Wave Press. Breaking, the Pentagon has identified four army reserve soldiers killed during Operation Epic Fury in an Iranian drone strike on a U.S. command center in Kuwait on March 1st. We reported on this yesterday, but I thought it was worth reading their names. That's Captain Cody Cork, 35, from Winter Haven, Florida, Sergeant First Class Noah L.

20:23Tijans, 42, from Bellevue, Nebraska, Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Armour, 39, from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, and Sergeant Declan Cody, 20, from West Des Moines, Iowa. They were all assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command And in Des Moines, Iowa, God bless them and God bless their families. And I don't know what, you know, if there are GoFundMes or something, but if there are, we'll post a link. I will gladly donate. And, you know, these people, contrary to what Megyn Kelly said on her show yesterday, which is what we showed you where she said, you know, these people died for Israel or Iran.

20:59They died for America.

21:04And hopefully they will be honored as such. but interestingly, as Iran sort of veers out of control and they fire into all of these countries, as I said a moment ago, new alliances are forming. All of these Arab countries and these Muslim countries are suddenly realizing Israel's not the bad guy. If you just leave them alone, they have no interest in you and as a matter of fact, they're defending you from Iran which is attacking you right now. That's quite literally what's happening with Saudi Arabia and let's not forget, Saudi Arabia, right before October 7th, They were about to jump on the Abraham Accords.

21:37Everyone knew it was about to happen. Then, of course, that got blown up because of what happened on October 7th. But here is Jennifer Griffin talking about how Saudi Arabia is now preparing to authorize strikes on Iran. So basically, they will get involved in this war on Israel and America's side as well. Place military and diplomatic sources in the region tell me Saudi Arabia is very close to allowing its air force to strike targets inside Iran after facing unprecedented missile and drone attacks on its civilians, including incoming missiles today, targeting Daman, its fifth largest city. Quote, the next 24 hours is going to be intense, I'm told.

22:18A line has been crossed, a well-placed official in the Gulf tells me. All right, so things are a changing. Saudi Arabia will likely get involved, right? They're not just gonna sit there and have drones and rockets blow up in their territory and blow up their infrastructure and kill their people, they will be on the same side as the United States. So when I say the map is being redrawn, I don't necessarily mean that literally, although I do think it's possible there'll be some other things happening post-war, perhaps related to the Kurds and some other things, but I mean it sort of metaphorically, the map of alliances is being redrawn right now, and that is solely because of American leadership.

22:58Interestingly, you know, Israel, which is leading this thing with the United States, as Pete just said, they are getting hit pretty hard. Although each day it seems to get a little bit better and they have incredible defenses, but some rockets do get through. So here's Fox talking about how America, once again, because we're just doing everything right. We are effectively and competently getting American citizens who want to leave Israel out of the country. New information from the State Department who say they have assisted over 130 American citizens to leave Israel with an additional 100 American citizens expected to depart today.

23:35Nearly 500 more are trying to coordinate travel out of the country. We will keep you updated with more from the Middle East as we get it. Okay, and I mentioned that because that's what a functional, solid country does, right? We're fighting a war. We're also, you know, it's hard to make sure that all of your citizens are safe everywhere in the world at all times, but then you can work with your allies and people on the ground to make sure your citizens, if they want to get out of these countries, can get out. And that's exactly what we're doing. Joseph was just checking and it does sound like there are some, is it Gibson Go?

24:07Or there are some donation sites for those soldiers. So I'm going to jump in and donate and we'll put up some links in a moment.

Okay, so first portion of the show has been about a hyper competent American military and American leadership that's leading the world again and doing rather extraordinary things. Now I want to compare and contrast that to the Democrat party.

25:28Now, obviously, obviously, obviously, after the last couple of years, we know there's basically nobody sane left. There's a slight internal fight as if they should, whether they should just come out now as all crazy communists, where they used to pretend they were Democrat socialists. And I told you years ago, eventually they would stop saying Democrat. Now many of them do admit they are socialists. And then we just went through two weeks of Gavin Newsom doing a press tour, pretending that he's sort of the moderate, like he's not one of the complete lunatics and he clearly wants to run for 28.

26:00But they have a major problem on their hand because the base is so out of control. They have been so brainbroken to hate this country, to hate our allies, to hate freedom, to hate all of the good things, that here is Gavin Newsom just completely and utterly, I mean, listen to Gavin Newsom completely and utterly throw Israel under the bus just moments after you just heard what Pete Hegseth said. And a lot of Democrats have looked at the Netanyahu regime and felt like, you know what, we don't like the trajectory he's on. It's time to rethink the U.S. relationship with Israel, especially military support.

26:39Where do you stand? Well, Bibi's making that easy right now. Let's talk about that. But the issue of Bibi is interesting because he's got his own domestic issues. He's trying to stay out of jail. He's got an election coming up. He's potentially on the ropes. He's got folks the hard line that want to annex the West, the West Bank. I mean, Freeman and others are talking about it appropriately, sort of an apartheid state. They couldn't even, I mean, we're talking about regime change. For two years, they haven't even been able to solve the Hamas question. This guy is such a ridiculous pandering clown.

27:15I get it. You know, he doesn't believe anything he's saying. I mean, the whole idea was he was going to sort of, the idea, the only thing that works about Gavin as a Democrat is that he could try to come off as, look, I'm in my nice suit with my slick back hair. I'm not one of the complete lunatics. But now he's starting to run to the loony side too. even though he is loony, but he could fake it a little bit. First off, Israel is an apartheid state. 20 % of the people who live in Israel are Arab Muslims. They vote, they're on the Supreme Court, they're lawyers and everything else. In Lebanon and Jordan, they have dozens of jobs these people aren't allowed to have.

27:49Jordan is basically a Palestinian majority nation being subjugated by the Hashemite king. That's a apartheid nation. The West Bank is Judea and Samaria. that's the story of Hanukkah took place there. Should Jews be allowed to live there? I don't feel like doing an entire history lesson. But these people, they're all just brain broken and on an endless race to the bottom. Who can hate America and our allies the most? That is what has happened with the Democrat Party. But don't take my word for it. Here is the guy that I can't confirm this, but I saw this earlier, is fifth now in line for secession as we're taking out Khomeini and then the next Ayatollah and next Ayatollah.

28:28This guy is number five waiting in line to be the next Ayatollah of Iran, currently the mayor of New York City. Do you think Iran is better off without the Ayatollah? You know, I've said before that the Iranian government has engaged in systematic repression of its own people, even killing thousands of Iranians who were seeking to express the most basic forms of dissent earlier this year. It is a brutal government. And I've also said that while I may be a young mayor, I am old enough to remember the devastating consequences of our country pursuing a war with the intent of regime change in that very same region not that many years ago.

29:15So interesting. He has to like choke out that he doesn't like the regime. Now, I am, as I've said repeatedly, I am somewhat sympathetic to the people that have PTSD, that have a certain hangover of military adventures that we had, right? George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and who was it? Colin Powell and the rest of them. They sold us the Iraq war largely under false pretenses. Now, the irony of the Iraq war is that after a few years, Iraq was becoming free and it was becoming democratic. And then it was Barack Obama. If you remember, maybe we'll do something about this later in the week. But if you remember, when Barack Obama was running the primary against Hillary Clinton, he was running as, I'll get out of Iraq even faster than her, implying that Hillary somehow was the warmonger.

30:02And she kept saying, well, we have to pace it out because you don't want to just cut and run and see what happens. Well, of course, you know what happened. he wins the primary, wins the presidency, we cut and run from Iraq. And Iraq is basically a failed state now, but it was going in the right direction. In some sense, that's a total sidebar because these people don't care about history or truth or anything else. But the point is, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, our new alliances, a much more powerful Israel, it is a completely different situation than taking out Saddam Hussein and sort of praying the people will uprise properly.

30:39When you take out the Ayatollah and the mullahs and all that leadership, and you just degrade their military, the Persian people can now take their country back. It's a fundamentally different thing. It doesn't mean it's going to work, but it is completely fundamentally different. But the real reason for showing you that clip is he likes the Ayatollah. It's obvious he likes the Ayatollah. He likes the fact that the Iranian regime was funding Hamas, who he loves, and funding Hezbollah and all the rest of these evil terrorist organizations. And if you live in New York, good luck with that. I thought this was quite good because one of the things that we're seeing right now is the Democrats are screaming about political process.

31:19They suddenly love the constitution again and they want the president to go to Congress to declare war. Now, the president has all sorts of leeway to do military actions, which is why Bill Clinton has done them. And Obama, as I pointed out yesterday, took out Gaddafi in Libya without going to Congress, and they never say anything when their side does it. And they don't like the Constitution. They want to pack the courts. They don't care about free speech or anything else. But suddenly, when Trump's doing something, they love that old piece of paper. Here is Fox's Bill Malusian asking Timu Obama, Hakeem Jeffries, about Democrats flip-flopping when it comes to congressional approval.

31:59Thank you, Leader Jeffries. Back in 2011, Nancy Pelosi said that then President Obama didn't need congressional approval to bomb Libya. Now House Democrats say President Trump needs that approval to bomb Iran. What's the difference? Well, obviously, Libya and the circumstances connected to that were very different than the circumstance that we face in Iran right now. I mean, I don't even understand the genesis or basis of that question. I'm not suggesting that you're not asking it in good faith. Libya went on for seven months. As I've indicated, first of all, it was not in Congress at the time.

32:31So we're dealing with what we're dealing with right now, which is a catastrophic, endless war, as Donald Trump has characterized it. Madam Speaker, you're the latter. Madam Leader, you're saying that the president did not need authorization initially and still does not need any authorization from Congress on Libya? Yes. Thank you both. Thank you all very much. Okay, and this is why they don't want a free internet. They don't want you to remember those clips. And I love Hakeem Jeffries. Well, I wasn't there, so I don't know. Well, what are your principles? What are your principles? Simple as that.

33:05Great question by Malusian. That's a great job right there. They know damn well the president's allowed to do this, and if it was their president doing it. And then he's also, what did he say? It's a disastrous and endless war. We're four days into this thing. You just heard what Hegseth said. It's going unbelievably well. That doesn't mean some things can't go sideways. But the problem is you guys don't like America very much. You don't like American values very much. You don't want us to realize that we can win again, that we can exert power again, that we can be excited about our country again, that we can actually help the world.

33:36You don't want any of that, unfortunately. Here is Bill O 'Reilly, who I keep saying, I look forward to when I get into my sort of grumpier old man phase because I'm gonna replicate what Bill does. Here he is going off on Kamala for opposing the war. I unequivocally oppose this war of choice and everyone should. All right. Now, just keep this in perspective now. This is important. Harris is entitled to her opinion. But as vice president, she sat on her butt for four years and watched as the Biden administration released billions of dollars to Iran that were frozen, money that was frozen because of sanctions.

34:25Biden released the money, gave it to the Mullahs, and the Mullahs turned around and financed Hezbollah, Hamas, October 7th, the Houthis, and whatever other terror groups they could fund. Yeah, and he's completely right. We showed you the videos yesterday of Obama being like, I'm releasing$54 billion to Iran and it will go to the people having a better life. And it's like, no, it went to funding terror. Simple as that. We also showed you the video yesterday. Kamala, what would you say to Iran when it comes to making these weapons? Don't. Biden, what would you say when it comes to Iran making these weapons?

35:05don't. Well, your don't meant literally nothing. And Donald Trump, instead of just saying don't, has decided they won't. It's as simple as that. The other interesting thing that's happening here, when I talk about the metaphorical redrawing of the map, is that we are realizing, and this is why I think what Hegseth said about Israel was so interesting, that we need allies who will have some skin in the game. That is so consistent with everything Trump has said for 10 years. We foot the bill on all of these things. Our allies never do anything. Bad things happen in the world. And then everyone only expects America to do things.

35:40And no one else helps us, usually get in our way, vote against us in the UN while we're giving them money. We have lopsided trade deals with everyone. So when I tell you that the map is being redrawn, the alliances are being redrawn. Trump is basically looking at every other country right now and being like, are you useful? What is the purpose of the nature of this relationship? One interesting one is what's happening a little north of us here, which is up in Canada, where they've got this Mark Carney guy who basically is Justin Trudeau, but heterosexual, I think. I'm not even sure, but I would go on the assumption.

36:13He seems pretty boring and straight to me. And here he is, and he's just very upset because we didn't go to the UN, we're acting without Canada. Like Trump should have been like, what does Canada think about this, Go? Because the current conflict is another example of the failure of the international order. And now the United States and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies, including Canada. So where to from here? With a rapidly spreading conflict and growing threats to civilian life, Canada reaffirms that international law binds all belligerents. We condemn the strikes carried out by Iran on civilians and civilian infrastructure across the Middle East.

36:59And we implore all parties, including the United States and Israel, to respect the rules of international engagement. All right, I'm not cursing, not cursing. And I know a lot of people are very happy about it. I've been looking. Who cares? Like, genuinely, who cares what you say? Oh, we didn't go to Canada to ask them if we could stop Iran from building a nuke and building ballistic missiles and all the bad things and exporting jihad and everything else. We didn't ask Canada. We didn't ask the UN. We didn't go to the UN and have a meeting with people who would have then just backstabbed us and likely leaked information to Iran and everything else.

37:36We just went ahead and did it because we exerted power and authority in a power. We exerted power and authority in a way that you guys only wish you could, but you just say things. You don't mean anything. So you just did your version of don't. Kamala, don't. But if it's not backed up by anything, it doesn't mean anything. And oh, Carney, you can get up there and stand at a podium and it's very impressive. And I assume you wear black socks instead of the very colorful rainbow ones that Trudeau wore. But you're the same person. You're just a useless person in a suit. You would never do anything good for the world.

38:12You can't even do anything good for your own country as it's being taken over by jihadists, right? That really is the problem there. And speaking of countries being taken over by jihadists, This is just spectacular. I cannot believe they even put this out on video. So there is a clownish buffoon in charge of the UK right now by the name of Keir Starmer. And he is not really getting involved in this war. And that's his prerogative as the leader of a country. And Donald Trump will have to, again, look at Canada, look at the UK, look at some of these countries and decide how we want to operate with them.

38:45Like we look at allies and do you help us when we want help? That's the nature of a friendship. two-way street, et cetera, et cetera. So Starmer put this video out of him calling people and talking to people about what's going on. And as Steve McGuire, who's a journalist pointed out, this literally, we should put the music to The Office over it. This looks like an episode of The Office, watch this. Bob, Emmanuel Friedrich, really good to hear from you. I think we are all concerned about what could happen within the next couple of hours or days. We weren't involved, as we've made clear, in the strikes, although we are operating defensively in the region in relation to our assets and liabilities and allies.

39:30I think we've completed nearly all of the regional calls, have we? Prime Minister, how are you? Hi, hi. How are you? These are very big decisions, and I want to hear your views, helping with the principles that we should apply as we go forward from here. This is not joining offensive. This is about collective self-defense of regionalized British civilians. All right, we're gonna splice something together with Michael Scott in between that and him on the speakerphone. And Pam, is this thing on? Like, it's so, and where's Dwight? Like that, like there, it's theater. It's don't, but in theater form, don't.

40:03And then he, look at, oh my God, he's so impressive. He calls people on speakerphone and he says he's not getting involved and doesn't do anything. Now you might say, well, why isn't he? Has America done something so terrible here that the UK will no longer be our ally on something like this? And the answer to that, of course, is no, we have not done anything terrible. The answer actually is something that my guest who was in this very studio on Friday pointed out, which is Tommy Robinson, who made the point that one of the reason that so many of these Western countries are losing, that they stand for nothing, they've lost their culture, they've imported all of these people, is that they now are basically in a hostage situation with the Islamists that they have imported.

40:44So it is Ramadan right now. And Starmer yesterday, well, here he is at a Ramadan ceremony and watch him just pander to these people. But on Iran, I want to make clear the UK was not involved in the offensive strikes of the US and Israel. And that remains the case.

41:14So please don't behead me, okay? Give me a couple extra days before the beheading. He is afraid of those people. What are you even bringing up military matters at a Ramadan ceremony? Thank him for Ramadan, eat some candy and get going. But instead you had to make a point, we're not working with the US and Israel. I'm one of you guys. Yes, yes, yes. I'll live as a dimmy and pay the jizya tax. That would be a pleasure. That was a pretty good British accent, right? I think that was pretty solid. But of course, it's not just in the UK that this is happening. Let's go to Dearborn, Michigan, which is basically Hamas Central right now here in the United States.

41:51And here is a mosque having a memorial for Khomeini and also comparing the Jews to Satan. We're gathered here today to commemorate the martyrdom of the great leader of our time, Sayyid Ali al-Husayni al-Khamina 'i, rahmatullahi alayhi. We might think this was an attack led by Zionist Jews, but the commander of their mission is the very one who was trying to prove that Adam was not worth prospering to. Iblis is the one behind the scenes leading their camp, in the shadows lurking, irking in their symbology, their ideologies, their psychology, their economy, claiming they follow the laws of Moses and Deuteronomy, and Cleats is the hidden commander of today's society.

42:44I like that guy. Do you think people like this should be in the United States of America? You can completely have a totally different position on literally any political position that I have. And that is well within your right as an American. But we know what has happened in Europe, in these mosques. This is where the radicalization is happening. And when they're talking about the Satan-like Jews and that Donald, I mean, he basically said Donald Trump is Satan. That was pretty much what he said. I like the guy at the beginning. He was a poet and a lawyer. Poet and lawyer, Hassan Salami.

43:22Don't ask Hassan Baloney. What are we going to do about this? What are we going to do about this? Because we don't want to end up where Starmer is, but if we end up with a Democrat president, that's exactly where we will end up. We will end up with either one who is one of them, so we'll end up with a Mondami type who is one of them, or we will end up with potentially what's worse, which is a Starmer who's not one of them but has to then overly pander to them, suicidal empathy, et cetera, et cetera. And then what happens when you bring in these people? Well, as you know, we covered this the other day, but it's worth noting because we just forget these things.

43:56Gunman who attacked a bar in Austin, Texas this last night, this was a couple of days ago, has been identified as Nadiaga Diange, a naturalized US citizen born in Senegal who was wearing a sweatshirt that said property of Allah and an undershirt referencing the Iran and had a Quran in his car. And the reason I'm even mentioning that again is that story's gone already. Two people are dead, 14 others were shot at a nightclub in Austin and it barely made the news for five hours. And it'll happen again and again and again and again and we'll just keep going. and it will not end well. It will not end well.

44:31So we better do something about it. I don't know exactly what we are supposed to do. They are using all of our systems against us externally and internally. You may remember this video. This is from 2018. This is Hamas caucus member Ilhan Omar with another Hamas fan, Mehdi Hassan, talking about how we should really be afraid of white men. A lot of conservatives in particular would say that the rise in Islamophobia is a result of a lot of hate, but a fear, a legitimate fear, they say, of quote-unquote jihadist terrorism, whether it's Fort Hood or San Bernardino or the recent truck attack in New York.

45:06What do you say to them? I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country. We should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men. So that was 2018. She was worth nothing then. She's worth about$30 million now. But there she is playing her version of identity politics is that we should be fearless of white men. I will gladly, if someone can point out to the meetings where white men are having weekly meetings talking about some of the shit we, oh, sorry, I really was trying not to even say that today.

45:56We're talking about some of the things that we point out are happening in mosques all over the country endlessly. I will play those videos. And then I will say, you bad white men, you better stop doing that. Here is Scott Jennings laying out some sensible stuff to some unsensible people over on CNN. I think these butchers deserve to die, not just because of the missiles, not just because of the nuclear program. But for 47 years, Josh, they have waged war against Western civilization, against the United States. Their mantra is death to America. They have killed American soldiers, American personnel.

46:30They have maimed people, our people. And so if you want to go back decades or you want to go back two weeks, there's plenty of reasons to believe that those people that we kill being gone is good for U.S. national security. That's my view. I'm mourned by the way and we should say they're not gonna have the missiles they're not gonna have nuclear weapons if whoever becomes the next leadership in Iran says okay we're tired of being punished for missiles and nuclear weapons that would be a good outcome but I think we would all be happy well there's no yeah and that's just once again there's a reason that Scott can calmly explain these things to these people these are not good guys in Iran We are now helping people free themselves.

47:13And it's always, and I will stop doing it at some point, all of these qualifiers. I'm always trying to give my ideological opponents the best possible. I think I'm making their case better than they are in many cases. We're trying to help people free themselves and we're trying to make the world a safer place. And we're trying to show nations that terrorism doesn't work anymore and everything else. But the Democrats clearly are just gonna keep going down. So now let's do some serious domestic stuff because guess what, guys? Lady Eyelashes, she's not gonna be Senator. It doesn't look like it. There was an election.

47:48There were a couple of elections last night. Let's recap them. This is from ChatGPT. Here are some of the biggest results from last night's elections. In the Texas Democratic Senate primary, James Tallarico defeated Lady Eyelashes, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Tallarico's campaign focused on faith-based messaging and bipartisan themes which helped mobilize young voters, he will face the eventual Republican nominee in the general election in November. Texas Democrats have not won a statewide race in more than 30 years. On the Republican side, the Texas Senate primary is headed to a runoff. The top two finishers were Senator John Cornyn, who received about 42.5 % of the vote, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxson, who received 40%.

48:30Because neither candidate reached the 50 % threshold required to win outright, the race will move to a runoff election in May. In another race, Texas Congressman, Dan Crenshaw lost his Republican primary to state representative Steve Toth. Toth won approximately 57 % of the vote compared with about 39 % for Crenshaw. Crenshaw has served in Congress since 2019. So the Crenshaw one, it's actually, if you're paying attention to sort of internal Texas politics, it's not that surprising. I've had Dan on the show many times and I've enjoyed talking to him and hopefully he'll have a bright future in front of him.

49:03But the Jasmine Crockett is you might go, okay, this is pretty great. Jasmine Crockett's a complete lunatic and she's a racist and all of the stuff that we're always mocking her for. So even though I don't think I've said a word about this Tallarico guy, you might be going, all right, well, at least she didn't win her primary. We'll have more on Tallarico in just a second, but here she is already claiming that the election, the Democrat primary election was stolen. All red has already stated, we encourage each and every one of you to remain resilient. We cannot allow this type of behavior to be rewarded because so long as they know that they can win, even if it means cheating, then they will continue to do it.

49:47So that's my news, is that we're not going to have election results tonight, in my opinion, based upon what specifically is taking place in Dallas County.

50:03Unfortunately, this is what Republicans like to do. Well, unfortunately, you're done, you're cooked. And for her to say, this is what Republicans like to do, it's a Democrat primary. This has literally nothing to do with the Republicans. You're claiming that the Republicans somehow rigged the Democrat primary to stop you. It has nothing to do with the Republicans. So she's done, she's done, she's done. And since we won't be talking about her that much going forward, hopefully, here's just some of her hot takes over the years. Somebody slap me and wake me the f*** up because I'm ready to get on with it.

50:38If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say? F*** off. When I see ICE, I see slave patrols. If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad built butch body. That would not be engaging in personalities, correct? A what now? Number two, we actually need to do something about guns. Don't sit there and say that it's the immigrants. Maybe it's your lax laws when it comes to guns. All right. So look, she'll remain a congresswoman. We'll see how long that lasts for her. She's going to claim that this Democrat primary was stolen by Republicans. It's all brain numbing, consistent stuff.

51:16But all right, you might be going, well, that's pretty great. We're not going to have her. Tell me more, Dave. Could you tell me a little bit more via video form? Could you tell me a bit more about this James Tallarico guy. He's probably, you know, she's the nutbag, obviously, in the race. He must be pretty good. Well, here he is telling us that God has both a penis and a vagina. Is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is non-binary. Our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front. Okay, so, well, Texas, good luck. God is non-binary, fine, that's fine.

51:55And that our country's borders should be like a porch and we should just welcome everybody. I'm gonna go out on a limb. Joseph, could we do a little research right now? Can you Google map his house perhaps and see is there a big mat that says everyone is welcome, re-soup? Could you just check on that for me? But this is it, this is it. There is a party that is completely psychotic. It is absolutely indistinctive if you walked into a mental institution and you said, hello, everybody. I'm here to hear what you think about the world. There would be no difference. The things that you would hear would be no different in a mental institution.

52:34Let me paint a more specific picture. Arkham Asylum, which is the mental institution that Batman would put all the bad guys when he would capture them in Gotham, where they kept Joker and Two-Face, Killer Croc, three more. Riddler, Iceman, no, Mr. Freeze and Harley Quinn. Damn, sharp today, man. Those guys are absolutely, well, those guys at least believed in something, you know what I mean? Versus these Democrats, it's just ridiculous. And here's a guy who not only, as you know, farted on MSNBC with Chris Matthews, he also banged a Chinese spy named Fang Fang. You would think that would be something that would have you kicked out of the government, but here he is.

53:16He's still here, now wanting to be governor of California. That's right. It's Eric Swalwell. And listen to this gish gallop of dribble. You were just talking about how important it is for DHS to protect the homeland. And I wonder what you say to Republicans who say, look, given the change in circumstances, given this war in Iran, it is time for Democrats to come together and fully fund DHS so it can do its job, especially in this moment. I see protecting the homeland is also protecting the vulnerable immigrants who are running through the fields. and factories where they work, or the woman who's been dragged by her hair and thrown into an unmarked van, or the allies in Minnesota, you know, a nurse named Freddie and a mom named Good who were publicly executed.

53:56And so if they can put in place reforms that end that, that stop the roving terror, Democrats are with them. But they also have plenty of funding from, you know, HR1, the big brutal bill to continue to operate. These guys are just evil and not, you know, I always try to give Wolf, and I don't know who that lady is, like a little advice, guys, on your job. But when they say things that are completely insane, you might wanna offer a little bit of pushback. Where is the video of someone just grabbing a lady and throwing her, by her hair, and throwing her into an unmarked car? Anyone seen the video?

54:29Joseph, I know I've asked you to do a lot today. Could you Google grabbing a woman by her hair and throwing in her an unmarked car? You're gonna end up on Pornhub probably.

54:41Which is blocked in Florida, so it doesn't even matter. The roving terror gangs, like Wolf, you're allowed to say, well, you know, they're just looking for illegals. They're not roving terror gangs. You know, oh, just everything. Like you might think that, well, three days ago, a jihadist who had a shirt that said property of Allah shot up a club in Austin, Texas. So this might not be the best time to defund DHS, but he won't, once again, it's, oh, and that the immigrants are running through the fields. illegals, illegals. They can't vote for you yet, chump. Well, actually in Cali, they probably can, but it's all of them.

55:19It's literally all of them. Here is Democrat Senator Patty Murray saying she's not going to vote. She's not going to vote to fund ICE. Little does she know it's funded through 2029. But instead, some Republicans are now trying to use Trump's reckless war of choice in Iran as a new pretext to completely ignore Donald Trump's reckless occupation of American cities with rogue ICE agents. Look, I'm not going to vote to fund ICE. Well, nobody cares, lady. It is funded for the next three years. So nobody cares. Get a real job. Kirstie Noem, who's been in charge a lot of these deportations and doing a lot with ICE on the ground, here she is calling out Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal.

56:12This was very clever. She just said, do you know the name of this person? Watch this. Do you know who Angel Salmonago is? Do you know, recognize that name? You know, I think we're talking about an egregious illegality here by an illegal alien. The answers are very simple. It looks like it was an assassination. I haven't heard you say one victim's name from illegal immigrants that are here perpetuating violence against people. I'd like to hear you say the name of one of our victims of illegal criminal activity and fight for one of those victims so that we can stop as many of them from being created in the future by people who should never be in this country to begin with.

56:56Well done, Kirsten Ohm. You know, there are little tricks you can use that they should, right? What do I always say? You go in with receipts like Ted Cruz did very famously when he went on The View and they were just lying relentlessly. And then he starts reading quotes back to them. That was a great little trick that she did right there that every Republican should be doing in every hearing right now. Do you know the name of this girl? Angel Samanago. Why won't he say that name? They had Kilmo Obrego Garcia, who was a human trafficker who beat his wife with a boot. What's his name? Who's the guy from Maryland?

57:30Von Holland went to have margaritas with him. Everyone knew his name, but you guys never say the name Lake and Riley or the litany of other women who have been killed. or, and it's not just women who have been killed by them. So that is effective. That is effective and you must do it. But now I want to link this back to Newsom for just a second because he's, they want to frame him as the savior. But as I illustrated a few minutes ago, he is a radical nutbag. I think we showed you this clip when Ben Shapiro went on to show him, smacked him around a little bit and watch Ben effectively do what Wolf Blitzer might want to learn how to do after 50 years in the biz.

58:04One was a narrative that was immediately pushed by the Trump administration. and Secretary of Homeland Security, Christine Ohm, that she was a domestic terrorist who was attempting to run over officers with her car and was legitimately trying, not just this officer, but multiple officers. That was the original statement I said at the time. I thought that was untrue. And then your press office tweeted out that it was state-sponsored terrorism, which, I mean, Governor, I have to ask you about that. That sort of thing makes our politics worse. Yeah. And it does. I mean, our ICE officers obviously are not terrorists.

58:35Yeah. A tragic situation is not state-sponsored terrorism. Yeah, I think that's fair. Oh, you think that's fair? So you spend your entire life lying about these people, lying about what's going on, what we're doing, why we're doing it, et cetera, et cetera. And all you get is just Ben Shapiro just basically laying out basic truth. They're not terrorists and everything else. Yes, you think it's fair and everything else. So push back a little bit. Wolf, wolf, you're half man, half wolf. Use a little of the wolf part. You get a backbone like a ramrod. And when someone says something completely insane, like Swalwell did right there.

59:06All the women being pulled by their hair into trucks. Wolf, we're here at CNN. I have access to all sorts of computers. I can't find any video of that. You could just try that. Just try it, Wolf. See what happens. Try it. I know you're old. You're tired. You just are cashing in a check. You're just reading what they tell you to read. Give it a shot. So how do we end today's show? A lot going on, as I think we've illustrated. There's a lot of good stuff happening right now. there's a lot of crazy people pushing back that have been crazy about everything else. Well, what we need to do is consistently find good people, have good policy, and make sure that everyone knows it so that the midterms go well.

59:45That is the eyes on the prize version of this right now. Here is the great Thomas Sowell on why we should have sensible immigration policies. They talk about immigrants in the abstract, and there are no immigrants in the abstract, as that passage indicates. And we don't know who those people are that are here. They may all be PhDs from the University of Chicago, in which case they should all stay. Or they may in fact be people who majored in sociology at Berkeley, in which case get them all out of here as soon as possible. But we don't know. That's one of the problems of so-called immigration policy.

1:00:28We don't have an immigration policy unless we control the border. And thanks to Donald Trump, we now do have an immigration policy. So we've stopped one of the problems. We now have a problem with the people who came in who are up to no good. We have a problem with homegrown people that we illustrated today. And we have a problem with the Democrat Party that also wants to defund DHS while we're just days after another, you know, lone wolf, if that's what you want to call it, terrorist attack. So we got a lot of stuff that we got to keep fighting, but I have a feeling that Trump and Hegseth and Rubio and me and you will keep doing it.

1:01:07And I think everything's going to be a-okay. That is our program for today. We've got a postgame show coming up in 30 seconds, rubinreport.locals.com. See you tomorrow.
