Scott Jennings Notices Something About the Trump Iran Speech No One Noticed

25:54I feel like they just like, that wasn't a real woman. They just made her up. They made up a person. They were like, call her Navarro. We'll see what happens. It'll make the other Navarro better. No one will run. Look, again, he's just pointing out the obvious. We are taking out the world leader of terrorism. We're taking out a country that quite literally, she's concerned about what's happening to the other countries in the area. Well, why is it that if Iran was so good and the other countries were so thrilled with what Iran is doing, why did Iran decide to shoot rockets at about a dozen other countries?

26:24Not just pesky Israel, right? 12 other Arab Gulf, largely Muslim states. Why did they do that? If everyone loves them so much. Why is it that Lebanon, which at one time should have been Beirut, they wanted it to be the Paris of the Middle East. Lebanon has been run by Hezbollah, which is an Iranian proxy. So Lebanon's government is not really the government of Lebanon. It's actually an Iranian proxy terrorist group, which has killed plenty of Americans. So you think that people are not happy as we are taking out the main bad guy here. But Lady Navarro, hopefully we're never gonna have to see you again, but your problem is you have Trump derangement syndrome.

27:08So if Donald Trump does something good that the people of the Middle East are now rallying around, and again, mark my words, peace deals are coming. There are gonna be new peace deals signed. And I bet you it's before the midterms because Trump has made this clear that the world is gonna pay attention to America. again, lady, you're gonna be proven wrong. It's just fairly obvious. But for some of the people that are still confused, what were the goals here? Has anyone laid out the goals? Why can't someone just tell us the goals? Can someone sit at a desk in a nice suit and calmly lay out exactly what we are doing?

27:42Here's Marco Rubio. So it is clear that they've been offered every opportunity to have a nuclear program that allows them to have energy, not weapons, and every single time they have turned it down. But why the attack now? Well, what was Iran trying to do? Iran was trying to build a conventional shield, in essence, have so many missiles, have so many drones that no one could attack them. And they were well on their way. We were on the verge of an Iran that had so many missiles and so many drones that no one could do anything about their nuclear weapons program in the future. That was an intolerable risk.

28:16Under no circumstances can a country run by radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision of the future ever possess nuclear weapons. And under no circumstances can they be allowed to hide and protect that program and their ambitions behind a shield of missiles and drones that no one can do anything about. This was our last best chance to eliminate that conventional threat, that conventional shield that they were trying to build. And the president made the right decision to wipe it out now. That is the goal of this operation, to destroy their conventional missiles and their drone program so they can't hide behind it and finally have to deal with the world seriously about never, ever having nuclear weapons.

28:56Okay, so again, not only is that just consistent with everything Donald Trump has said for 40 plus years, but we will clip that video. And when your friends over the next days and weeks and months are saying, why did we do this? That's the answer. That's the answer right there. As several people have pointed out over the last couple of days, and I think it's worth noting, You know, once you have nukes as a nation, you create, if you're a hostile nation, right? If you're a hostile nation, you create a situation where basically no one can do anything because then there will be nuclear war and they're gonna fire a nuke and you're gonna fire a nuke and we're all gonna die, right?

29:33The idea of us in World War II, dropping two nuclear bombs on Japan was we are going to end this war now. And that's exactly what it did. But think about it this way. North Korea has nukes, right? And they have now isolated themselves from the rest of the world. If years ago, it could have been dealt with before they could have got nukes, perhaps there would be more negotiations with them. But now you can't really threaten the guys with nukes. And this is actually, this is also consistent with what I've said about Russia. You know, the problem with the Ukraine-Russia thing is you gotta show me the amount of stuff that we have to give Ukraine to win that war.

30:14How many planes do they need? How many trucks do they need? How many tanks do they need? How many soldiers? How much cash? And the reason no one can give you that number, well, A, there's a money laundering operation obviously happening with that entire war. But the other thing is there's no number. There's no number of tanks and planes and cash and everything else that you could add up that would defeat the nukes that Russia has. So Rubio is laying it out quite clearly. you have an apocalyptic regime, which is exactly what they are. I mean, their main goal in parliament in Iran was chanting death to America, the big Satan, right?

30:51And now, well, we've decapitated them and we will see what the AAA guys are able to negotiate. And I have a feeling it's gonna be pretty good, but let's pick it up. Well, we'll keep talking about it, but in two to three weeks, as Donald Trump said, the major military part of this will be over as the negotiations happen. And we will see, and I suspect it will not be a forever war or anything even remotely close to it as Donald Trump has promised. Another thing Donald Trump has promised, let's shift a little bit, is that we are going to end birthright citizenship, at least in the current form that it is in right now, because it has become a situation that has been hugely, hugely abused by people who are coming to America for birthplace tourism, for people that get here illegally and then have a kid and everything else.

31:37But now the Supreme Court has chimed in, so let's get you caught up. This from Fox. This week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in what could be one of the most significant cases of the 21st century, birthright citizenship. Before the court is whether the Trump executive order that ends birthright citizenship complies with the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment after multiple judges blocked the order from taking effect as it was litigated. The 14th Amendment, Section 1 of the Constitution states, All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside and its history.

32:20The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 in response to the end of the Civil War and the 1857 Dred Scott decision, which concluded that enslaved people and their children were not American citizens and thus had no rights and couldn't sue in federal court amongst other things. Now, there's a couple things here. The main one is that Donald Trump is trying in his remaining time as president, which he's got two and a half years, although if the Republicans lose the midterms, you know, Trump's lame duck, you're gonna see Republicans bail. So he's really, you could, for now, he has to view it as he's got, you know, six months basically till November.

32:59And then if the Republicans do well, then he's got two years to just do absolutely everything, like Donald Trump unchained, and we'll see what happens then. But one of the big things, obviously, borders and deportation and birthright citizenship, these things are all connected. And it just seems obvious to me that this system has been abused horrifically. Joseph just mentioned to me that when he's been on various flights back from China to the United States, that often he sees a lot, when you said a lot of women, like a disproportionate amount of very late term pregnant women coming from China to the United States.

33:40So think about that. Let's say, put aside China, just take any country of choice and a woman's just on vacation, seven months pregnant from anywhere. Doesn't matter. China, Uruguay, Pakistan, or Connor? Senegal. And she's at Disneyland with her other kids and she just gives birth. Should that child, should that child, that Senegalese child also be American? Like it doesn't make any sense. We all know it doesn't make any sense. Here's Trump explaining how the laws have been taken advantage of. We're the only country in the world that has, you know, we have a big case to be coming in the Supreme Court.

34:19It had to do with the babies of slaves after the Civil War. And instead of that, it's being used as a way for rich countries and thousands and thousands of people from China coming in and getting citizenship for people within their family. This is not what they meant when they did. Right. I think it is fairly obvious. And the founders could have never envisioned a situation where we'd be letting in people. I mean, birth tourism, in essence, to come here, to give birth here, and then that child magically gets citizenship. That is a far cry from any reason that the 14th Amendment was passed or anything else.

35:02Now, one of the problems that we're gonna have as it relates to these Supreme Court decisions is that Ketanji Brown Jackson, who was nominated by Joe Biden because she's a black woman, that's what he said. To me, that's not a qualification to be a Supreme Court justice. I would say a thorough knowledge of the Constitution would be pretty good. A respect for and understanding of the laws that govern us, that would be pretty good. She doesn't seem to have much of that, and she doesn't seem to be too bright either. Here is video of Ketanji Brown Jackson's case for birthright citizenship, and it's a doozy.

35:41Enjoy. I was thinking about this, and I think there are various sources that say this, that you can have, you obviously have permanent allegiance based on being born in whatever country you're from. That's what everybody recognizes. But you also have local allegiance when you are on the soil of this other sovereign. And I was thinking, you know, I'm a U.S. citizen and visiting Japan. And what it means is that, you know, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance meaning can they control you as a matter of law? Even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in that sense.

36:36That is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. As a matter of fact, can we take that clip and put the Billy Madison, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. We're all stupider forever. Listen to it. All right, we're going to put that up in a few minutes. She's basically equating an illegal, giving birth in the United States to the crime of stealing a wallet in Japan. I mean, it's completely, completely backwards. Mazemore, who's a great follow, he does a ton of great memes that we play on the show often. He, I think, summed it up quite nicely here. I got pulled over by the police once in Mexico.

37:09That means I'm Mexican. Now I have to go tell my kids that they are Mexican too. I mean, it's so profoundly absurd. She sounds dumb. She sounds really dumb. Like we really stepped in it. We really stepped in it with this one because she is a far left activist who is not qualified, is not particularly bright. And that is one of the thinnest arguments I have ever heard. You wanna figure out a way to connect this to the 14th amendment and as it relates to the children of slaves and figure out something to somehow make the argument fine. But somehow combining this to the local jurisdiction of Japan when you steal a wallet.

37:51Absurd, absurd. Will Kane over on Fox, here he is breaking down some of the numbers as it relates to how many kids are now being brought here by migrants, or how many pregnant people are coming, giving birth here, and then the kids are now citizens of the United States. About birth tourism, it's booming. In 2023, over 300 ,000 babies were born to unauthorized or legal temporary immigrant mothers. Add that in total, it's 9 % of the U.S. births in that given year. When we look at how that shakes out over time, a clear spike in the number of births to unauthorized immigrant mothers in the United States from 2019 to 2023.

38:32That's unprecedented. It's unforeseen. It's undeniable. But Chief Justice Roberts, unconvinced. It certainly wasn't a problem in the 19th century. No, but of course, we're in a new world now, Justice Alito pointed out to, where 8 billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who's a U.S. citizen. Well, it's a new world. It's the same constitution. Oh, John Roberts, everyone wants him to be better than he is, and he's just not great. Well, it is the same constitution. And I do think that we should be as strict with the way we analyze the Constitution as possible. But if you cannot acknowledge that there is a huge, huge problem now as it pertains to, I don't know, we just got out of four years of having one party that tried to completely decimate our border.

39:23The numbers that Will Cain laid out are completely insane. 20, wait, what was it? 9 % of all births in the United States in 2023, 9 % of all births, which was 320 ,000 births, were to, not necessarily illegals, because some of them, they had like temporary visas or whatever it is, but to people that are not permanent US citizens, 10 % of all births. So let's say someone comes here, gets a temporary visa, and they're a housekeeper, let's say. Perfectly nice person, working hard, trying to make a better life for themselves and everything else. And then they have sex here with anybody. It doesn't even matter who.

40:03It's not for birth tourism. They just have a one night stand one night. And then nine months later, they have a kid here. Should that kid be American? I mean, it simply doesn't make sense. You know, I've tried to use Charlie Kirk clips very, very, I would say in a very measured way since Charlie was assassinated. There's been so many people that have that I think have taken advantage of old clips of Charlie for their own political purposes. But I thought this was pretty perfect. This is Charlie being asked about birthright birth citizenship. And well, he lays it out as only Charlie could. If you think you can just get on a Delta Airlines flight from Paris and all of a sudden your kid becomes a U.S.

40:47citizen, that devalues the meaning of what it is to be a citizen. Should we hold the children who do not choose to come here accountable for their parents' actions? There are some countries that... Well, if you're already a citizen, you're a citizen. We're not going to revoke what's already happened. Right, but if it becomes overturned, do we want to create second-class citizens who aren't a citizen of another country? Yes, they're citizens of another country. Go back to around the country. Except if they come from India, they come here and a child is born. That child is not a citizen of India.

41:12Nor would they be a citizen of here. Then you have... No, no, they are a citizen of India. That's not true. Yes, they are. The parents are Indian citizens, and that's how it works in India, is that the citizenship goes to the parents. So that's the point, is that they can go back to their own country and they can go live in India. So the children should be deported as soon as they're born here? Yes, with their parents, absolutely. You don't think that we should give them, we shouldn't encourage them to become productive members of American society? No. Do you believe in the American dream? Yes, of course, for American citizens, not for every person around the planet.

41:42Man, Charlie was too good. It was like, of all the people that got taken from us, I mean, it's a perfect explanation. He does it respectfully. The young guy there, you can see he's a little confused about the issues. It doesn't make sense, right? So you're a couple from India. You decide she's seven months pregnant. Let's go to America. She happens to give birth. So the kid then becomes American. And then in essence, what the kid was arguing is the parents should have that right too because you wouldn't want to separate them. Charlie's not saying, oh, keep the kid here and boot them back. No, they're all, or the kid's just not gonna have citizenship of anywhere.

42:16That's what the kid implied. He was obviously mistaken on that, that if an Indian couple comes to America and is born here, that he's not Indian. No, the citizenship is attached to the parents. No, you send them all back to India of where they are citizens. So there's just such confusion here. And I'm telling you, this is another, look, as the Iran war wraps up, you guys know we're in a story, right? There's always an endless story being told. And as the Iran war wraps up, and I think it will wrap up nicely and we're gonna get those peace deals and things of that nature. I think the birthright citizenship thing is gonna become hot again.

42:52I think the border stuff is gonna become hot again. I think ice stuff is gonna become hot again. And we will see where all that shakes out. Well, we'll also connect it to the SAVE Act. And there's a lot going on with that right now. But first, Mars Men. At some point, things can start feeling a little bit off. Your energy isn't the same, workouts feel harder, and it's tougher to stay focused. One day you feel sharp, the next day you're dragging. That's where Mars Men comes in.

All right, so, you know, the kid that we just showed you arguing with Charlie, it seems, you know, like, you want to say he's a bad guy, he's an idiot or something.

43:55No, he has a bit of what Gad Saad calls suicidal empathy, right? He thinks that just because someone is born here that they should get citizenship, but he doesn't want to think through what that actually means. Will they culturally fit? Well, number one, is there any logical, sensible right to it? Will they fit here culturally? Can a country survive if it just lets everyone who so happens to be born here, for whatever reason, become a citizen? Like the litany of things. Will those people end up on welfare and take from the system more than they put into the system, et cetera? You can see what that suicidal empathy does.

44:32Another piece of suicidal empathy is that it allows people in who don't match our American values. And our American values are individual rights and they are law and order and they are the pursuit of happiness and things of that nature. So now I wanna go to this, this story is so nuts out of Rhode Island, but that it's perfect. It's just perfect of everything that is wrong with everything right now. As you guys know, back in August, there was a beautiful young woman. She happened to be a Ukrainian refugee named Irina Zarutska, who was murdered in cold blood on the Charlotte Light Rail. She was stabbed and the guy, it happened to be a black guy who did it.

45:11and when he stabbed her, what did he say? What was the line that he said? Like, I got you white girl, something to that effect. Okay, stabbed her for no reason. She just bled out and died on the light rail there. So in Providence, Rhode Island, over the last couple weeks, a mural was painted, a quite beautiful mural was painted on a wall downtown in Providence. It has now been removed, painted of the arena. Well, take a look. Well, Emily Jean, it's stil not for long. Artist Ian me he's sad it's come to calls from Mayor Smiley to remove the mural. It of time before this happ is going to be removed.

45:59breaking the news to NBC afternoon. The Irina Zer is coming down. A lot of their frustrations and um And voices were heard. And the work is coming down as a reaction. All right, so this story is just so crazy. So the artist creates quite an exquisite, very large, a very labor-intensive illustration, mural of Irina Zarutska, who was murdered in cold blood. She's the victim of this thing. For some reason, the people of Providence think that that's either offensive or wrong. It doesn't match their values, et cetera, et cetera. and now it is being taken down. All she was was someone who was an innocent young person who was murdered in cold blood, and he was trying to honor her, the artist.

46:48But people were not happy about that. This shows you a bit of the sort of moral confusion that we seem to be dealing with in the country. Here is Providence Mayor Brett Smiley on the mural coming down. You said the intent behind these murals is divisive and does not represent Providence. The mural's artist sort of feels like he was stifled. Do you have any regrets about what you said and how you handled it? I regret the state of where we are in politics today, where absolutely everything is political and controversial and hard. A private owner of a building decided to put a mural up that I don't think he understood the full context of.

47:26And I was asked whether I thought it should come down, and I thought it should. It didn't stifle anyone's speech. It was his decision whether to continue with it or to take it down. but it certainly wasn't bringing us together as a community. There was really angry protests on both sides, a lot of hate speech online. And so I don't think we're a stronger, more united community because of this mural. And I thought the best thing to do was to just take it down. But to be clear, the city never directed the artist or the business to take the mural down. Or to put it up. This was a private building owner and a private artist that made a decision to hang this thing, and then they decided to reverse course.

48:03What a pathetic asexual loser. Does that all count on the words of things that I'm not saying right now? Like what a nothing you are. Now I'll accept, I'll take his word for it, that the state didn't commission the thing and the state didn't force him to take it down. So I'll take their word for it. So this isn't an issue about the state, which would then be a free speech issue, right? The fact that it was a private building, the guy commissions the artist to do it. There's nothing controversial about it or anything else. But it started then suddenly there was hate speech. It certainly wasn't bringing us together.

48:38I'm sorry that there are a bunch of lunatics obviously running around Providence, Rhode Island who see a mural of someone who got murdered in cold blood and are upset by that. And that he, the intent is divisive. To honor the victim of a crime is divisive. What, like nothing, you are nothing, man. This guy's not going anywhere in politics, so I don't think we'll have to talk about it much more. But here is now, I don't know what the hell's going on in Providence. What is going on up there? Here is Rhode Island representative David Morales saying that the mural of Irina Zarutska, the woman who was murdered in cold blood because she was white on the Charlotte Light Rail, it doesn't reflect their values.

49:21Ultimately, we wanna make sure that every community member that calls Providence home feels safe. And we can both agree that this mural behind us does not reflect Providence's values, nor does it reflect the creativity that we want. What the fl - What are you saying? You want everyone to feel safe. Who walked by that mural and then didn't feel safe? Are you talking about racist, murderous black people who would be like, you know, I was about to kill a white woman and this is offensive to me because they're honoring the white woman and I don't want the white woman that I'm gonna randomly kill to have a painting.

49:56like completely insane. This is what they're afraid of. That's her. That's her about a half second before she was murdered and we're not gonna show you the video and just bled out on the light rail. And this is what we're up against. This is what we're up against. You might be listening to this story going, Dave, this isn't like national news and it's not the Iran war and it's not birthright citizenship, but it illustrates what is so wrong with things at a local level. What is going on in places like Providence? What's going on in these little blue cities where they will honor, they quite literally will honor terrorists.

50:35They will honor people who kick, you know, Jewish kids off Columbia campus. And then if you try to honor or pay homage to someone who's murdered in cold blood, it doesn't reflect the values of the community. These people are insane. And speaking of insane, James Carville, James Carville, who was once one of the most influential Democratic strategists in America. He was Bill Clinton's right-hand man. I smacked him around pretty good when we were on Real Time with Bill Maher. Here he is with some thoughtful political analysis. Listen to me, Trump. I'm going to tell you fat-ass something. You're getting ready to get the living crap kicked out of you.

51:17You don't know because they haven't really told you. And let me tell you something. They're going to start breaking the news to you kind of gently. And you're going to sit there and wonder what it feels like to be punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson. Now, let me tell you about, let's talk about your future, your post-November future. First, people are not going to return your phone calls. Democrats are going to investigate you to no end. Then they're going to start going after you. Then they're going to start figuring out where all the money stolen is. Then they're going to go after you stupid jackass kids and their spouses and all the other bullshit that you see.

51:58And they're going to investigate the shit out of you. And then when it comes to this stuff you're doing in Iran, I got to tell you, you're getting really, really, really close to war crimes here. These people are actually psychotic and dangerous. I mean, first off, what a perfect example of how if you just have hatred in your heart, it literally like turns your face into something miserable. Like he just looks like a miserable old troll. but he's warning us actually. He's not, Trump doesn't need the warning. He's warning all of us. He's saying if the Democrats take power, they're going to impeach him.

52:30They will hunt and hound him and his family members and his administration. They will jail people. These are all the things that are consistent with everything else they are saying. So Donald Trump better damn well make sure that the Republicans, well, it's not up to Trump, but we all better make sure that the Republicans do not lose the midterms because we will be handing it to a bunch of completely crazy people, although you might call them sick people. It's a shame. They should really just go to a filibuster. They should terminate the filibuster. And they should vote. That's what I think. I think the Senate is playing too soft.

53:08The Republicans are wonderful people. But we're dealing with very sick individuals. The Democrats are sick. There's something wrong. They're like terrorists. and we have to protect our country. We have to protect our border. We have to protect our wall. It was up to them. They'd open up the wall. They'd let millions of people pour into our country again. And we've all been through that. And I don't care if you're liberal or you're conservative. He's right. And it doesn't matter if you're liberal or you're conservative. Do you think America should exist? Yes or no? And if the answer is yes, then we should have a border.

53:40And mark my words, if the Democrats have the power again, they will open up the border. Why wouldn't they? They will flood the election with illegals. Why wouldn't they? They would pack the Supreme Court. Why wouldn't they? Every norm. They spent four years under an autopan with dementia, destroying every single norm, but they basically ran out of time, thank God, right? Things often don't move as fast as even the most radical radicals want. After Trump, because also try to imagine, a Republican Party after Trump, even if it's Rubio and or Vance or some combination of like some pretty decent people, Trump is a force like none other.

54:25So the idea that any of those guys will be able to coalesce all the competing interests is going to be tough. It is going to be tough. So they're telling you everything they are going to do. And well, we got a certain amount of time to stop it. One more from Scott Jennings. Here he is talking about how ridiculous the mail-in ballot scheme is. And once again, Abby Phillip, who there's just nothing there, she downplays it. I did Google mail-in ballot problems. I mean, there's a lot of headlines. Nearly 100 ,000 New York City voters get ballot envelopes meant for someone else. Get two ballots, here's what to do.

55:02Woman says she got 16 ballots at her house. I mean, it's not like these things are foolproof things. And so having it a little more... is rare and it has not been sufficient to overturn the results of federal elections, certainly. And when those things happen, to your point, you're reading some headlines. They're getting caught. They're getting identified. Man, we should have a body language expert study her, the way she looks down as she's saying it. You know, Joe Biden, how many votes did Joe Biden get during the COVID election? 81 million, if I'm not mistaken. If you look at how many votes did did Barack Obama get in his two elections?

55:43And how many did Trump get in his elections? Like it was over, he basically, Biden got about 15 million more votes in that crazy COVID mail-in election. You're telling me there was no fraud there. It's completely absurd. So you have a bunch of people who want mail-in ballots, who want Dropboxes, who want illegals, who want people to not have IDs and everything else. And at the height of all of the fever dream lunacy of COVID, Joe Biden, who nobody liked, even the most, even, not nobody, the most rabid Democrat didn't think that Joe Biden was great. He wasn't radical enough for the radicals. The average person knew there was something wrong with him and he somehow got 15 million more votes than Barack Obama ever got, right?

56:26Like, think about that. That is completely, completely insane. But to the point that Abby made, that illegal voting and vote tampering, it's rare, it's rare. Well, if it's rare, then why don't we just deal with it, right? If it's not a huge problem, it's just a small problem, it seems like we should just get on it, deal with it, and move on. Here's J.D. Vance making that point. Hey, I'm running out to drop off a stack of letters and packages. Need anything shipped while I'm gone? Save the gas.

Just this week, ICE arrested an illegal immigrant. I'm going to read this because I want to make sure I get it right. An illegal immigrant from Mauritania who's voted in seven federal elections since 2008. And I haven't got good authority that at every single election he voted for Don Davis. No. I don't know about that. I don't know where he voted, but I guarantee it wasn't for us. OK, it wasn't for America first policies.

57:42Now, here's the thing, though. Even if you take the Democrats at their word, even if illegal aliens voting is very rare, then why don't we ban it anyway? It's not that complicated. It is one thing to say, I don't get it. The Democrats say this never happens or it happens only very rarely on the one hand. And on the other hand, we must not stop it. It doesn't make a damn bit of sense. We need to get all illegal aliens stopping from voting in our elections. It's very common sense stuff. Yeah. And that's the thing. And that's what Republicans, I think, have to consistently do is say, look, we're just for common sense.

58:18We're just for common sense. Have an ID, have a border. If it's not much of a problem, let's solve that problem. And I think that over time with a couple other wins, as it relates, as I said, to the war and the economy, and maybe get the save act thing through. I think some of that will lead us to some better results in November, but we shall see. Let's talk about Rumble Wallet for a minute and then we'll get to arubinreport.locals.com, community Q &A. You already know why people are moving to crypto, but here's the issue. Most wallets are still tied to the same system people wanna get away from.

58:51That's why Rumble built Rumble Wallet. It's a self-custodial wallet in a platform that supports free speech and financial freedom. No bank holding your money and not even Rumble can access it. This is your money, your keys, your control. You can tip and support creators directly on Rumble quickly without waiting weeks or dealing with account issues. You can also send payments using Bitcoin, Tether Gold, and USAT, so you can move money anywhere, anytime without asking permission. Most wallets just store your crypto. Rumble Wallet lets you actually use it on a platform that doesn't cave to censorship.

59:24If you care about control over your money and your voice, this is the next step. Go to wallet.rumble.com or search Rumble Wallet in the App Store. Download it, back up your recovery phrase, and keep your money where it belongs in your hands. All right, let's get to a couple questions. We'll do it somewhat quickly, but Joseph is at the computer machine. If you'd like to get something to get on the fly at rubinreport.locals.com, iOS and Android apps now available absolutely free. Benjo says, I see the long-term benefit of Maduro and Iran, but worry it's not enough short-term gain as things within the U.S.

59:55would be like gas and oil prices. So you think if he wraps up Iran enough, people will see the benefit in time for the midterms. That's what I've sort of addressed on the show here a couple of times now, is that Trump needs wins before the midterms, no matter what. Even if, let's say we weren't in a war with Iran, right? Like any incumbent president rolling into midterms, I keep saying it, but 70 % of the time, the incumbent party of the president loses the midterms, right, people just get tired, you wanna blame things on the president, blah, blah, blah. So just the basic logic and norms are completely against the president right now.

1:00:28Now, the white pill of this is that the Democrats are so crazy, as Trump says, sick, and so many people acknowledge that the no border thing and the chaos in our cities and the high taxation and all of that, so many people now acknowledge, and the woke stuff and the gender stuff and everything. So many people acknowledge that that's so crazy that I think that the idea that Trump's coalition is gonna completely break down? Probably not. Now, people also just don't vote. One of the problems with midterms is people get so accustomed. We've created such a cult of personality around the presidency that people generally do vote in presidential elections and they just don't vote in off-year elections.

1:01:07So if you're the incumbent, if you're a Republican right now, you might be like, oh, we've got Trump. I'm kind of busy that day. It's raining. I'm not gonna go vote. And by the way, Republicans tend to vote in person. while the other side is all ginned up for the revolution. So we just have to get everybody on board. Again, I think there'll be a little bit of a bounce in patriotism because of July 4th, our 250th birthday, and we will see. Kevin says, did you get to see the Artemis launch? Well, I saw some of the clips online. I think we have an image and did we get the video? Were we able to get the video from the airplane?

1:01:40So that's the launch of Artemis. And check this video out. So someone took this from a plane where they got to see some of the launch. I mean, can you imagine being in a plane and seeing like that's right out of a sci-fi movie? How cool, how cool is that? And just a little info on Artemis's objective. So Artemis II's objective is to send astronauts to the moon to test the Orion spacecraft and ensure that systems are ready for future moon landings. It's crazy. We have not been to the moon since 1963. We have more technology in this little thing that we're all holding and putting in our pocket than we did basically in all of the machinery that took us to the moon in the first place.

1:02:19So as I understand it, we're gonna do something like, like send Artemis to the moon. It's gonna use the velocity to basically go around the moon. We're gonna see the dark side of the moon and kind of come back. I'm a little behind on the whole story, but it's so cool. And again, like if you just connect this to all the things that Elon is trying to do, make interplanetary space travel, space travel, make it a reality. And then imagine we get to the moon and then with robots, we can put some robots there and then robots are able to build robots. And then we have 3D printing and we can build a space station.

1:02:55And then from there, we can use that as a launching point. And then wherever we get again, we can use that as a launching point. Like literally Star Wars and Star Trek becoming real in front of our eyes. It's pretty freaking awesome. And we should cover more of those stories actually, instead of just the mundanity of day-to-day politics. Dan says, why isn't more attention given to the role of sanctuary policies since local law enforcement cooperated with ICE, many criminal illegal immigrants would be picked up directly from jails instead of being released back in the streets. That is completely right.

1:03:25You know, you guys may remember earlier in the, was it earlier in this week or was it last week? I think it was on Monday. We had, I saw it on my camera outside my house. Some guy showed up and stole about$200 worth of delivery stuff that had been waiting for us. I contacted my local police chief here. He got on it. They found the guy within an hour. he told me, I asked, because I wanted to make sure I could address it for you guys. They immediately check whether the guy's legal. They do a cross-check with ICE. Turned out the guy was legal and did not have a prior criminal record. So he was just, happened to be up to no good, I suppose, that morning.

1:04:01But yes, when local law enforcement works with ICE, you need ICE less, right? So if you have somebody that's just speeding down a freeway and bashes into somebody, crashes into somebody, or is doing local petty theft or breaks into a store or whatever it might be. If local law enforcement is working with ICE, well, then they can cross-check, say, oh, well, this guy is being looked for, he is illegal, we know when he got in, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then they can send them to, say, a temporary holding center like we have with Alligator Alcatraz before they get kicked out of the country.

1:04:33Then you actually have less need. That's the thing. In Florida, because we're doing this properly, we have less need for ICE agents because our law enforcement officers are enforcing the law. What a novel thought, how absolutely crazy. Meg says, did you get new cameras? Everything's a little crisper. Meg, you have a great eye. Yes, we just got some of what I'm told are the fanciest Sony cameras in the biz, like top of the line, top tip, top, top cameras. And yes, everything is a little bit crisper. You might notice the colors are a little bit sharper. The contrast, I think, is a little bit higher.

1:05:09There's a little bit of, I don't know if I can do it, Does this work if I do it? Yeah, it kind of does work. There's like some depth stuff that we can now do with the cameras. That's really cool. But yeah, we invested. They were not cheap. I promise you that. But now, yeah, we're gonna be able to do all sorts of interesting things. And we were, you know, I wanna constantly invest in making this the best looking, most beautiful show that hopefully enlightens you and makes you chuckle every now and again. Lil' Fella, have they made a better film than The Ten Commandments? What year did we say? 1959, The Ten Commandments.

1:05:40What was it? 1956. Oh, there you go. You have the original poster. I mean, look, it's just, it really, Cecil B. DeMille, it might be the most perfect film. You know, a lot of people will say Citizen Kane, which also, Citizen Kane, if you have not seen Citizen Kane, what year is Citizen Kane? It gotta be 1939, something like that. Like, it's pretty spectacular too. You know, 41, golden age of film. Citizen Kane is black and white. But if you have not seen 10 Commandments, especially right now is, you know, we're in the, tonight is the second night of Passover. Obviously Easter is on Sunday with everything going on in the Middle East and people's confusion about history and everything else.

1:06:20I mean, quite literally every, basically every Jewish person on earth last night retold the story of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt to the promised land, to Israel. You know, there's the 40 years in the desert. It wasn't easy to get there and everything else. So when they tell you these people have no connection to this land, It's all just nonsense, but it's important. Tradition and the ability to retell these stories is what I think connects people to the original source. Sometimes when you're younger, you forget that and then you relearn it probably when you're middle-aged, something like that.

1:06:52But the movie is spectacular. How long is it? It's gotta be at least three and a half hours, right? About three and a half. If I'm not mistaken, back in the day on ABC, when I used to watch it and they would put commercials in, when we were kids, they would do it over two nights because it was that long. But in any event, if you haven't seen it, Maybe we're gonna do it tonight or tomorrow. I can't do it tonight. So maybe tomorrow night, we're gonna do it as a family and you absolutely should check it out. Nimbus says, John Thune's operating as if we're still in an older political era where some level of decency and good faith.

1:07:23In today's environment, does that make him ineffective, especially on something like the filibuster? And if we're to start playing by the current more aggressive rules, would that be a necessary correction or act as a catalyst to push future norms into more extreme territory? I'm sorry, that is quite a good question. I think you know my feelings on this. Look, if you had anything resembling a decent Democrat party, if you could show me a handful of Democrats that cared about the rule of law, that I could disagree with them on all the policies. I could disagree with them on foreign policy. I could disagree with them on taxes.

1:08:00I could disagree with them on virtually everything. But if you could show me five Democrats that have any influence over the party that aren't trying to burn it all down, then maybe we could have that discussion. But when you have one party that semi-functions, a Republican Party, which by the way, as I said earlier, when Trump is gone, we have no idea what the Republican Party is gonna look like. But you have one party that basically, at least likes America, basically works. And then you have another party that has gone off the deep end in complete totality. Maybe you have to do some extreme things like get rid of the talking filibuster and pass some things with a simple majority.

1:08:40Because at the end of the day, if you don't use power when you have it and you hopefully use it for good, and I get why the argument then is, well, then everyone thinks they're doing good and we're gonna destroy all the norms. Like, I get it. But if you don't, like, think where we'll be. Let's try it this way. Think how much worse things will be if the Democrats were to take over in the midterms. What absolutely happens? They absolutely, every single day, we'll be talking about Trump impeachment. It won't even matter what they're impeaching him for. That is what they will do. They have said it, they will do it.

1:09:12They will ultimately try to get rid of the talking filibuster and they will try to do things with a simple majority. Don't take my word for it, take their word for it. What did that lunatic, James Carville, just say? They're gonna come for Trump and they're gonna come for his children and all of those things. So I would take their word for it And if that means that John Thune better get a backbone like a ramrod, as that old auto pen used to say, well then maybe he should. Miranda, this is a nice way to end. Miranda says, what are three things you're grateful for this Passover? So we did the Seder last night at my sister's house with all the kids.

1:09:47It was a very kid-friendly Seder. There were crayons and games and toys and frogs and all of the 10 plagues were acted out and all kinds of stuff. I mean, you know, it's kind of the obvious ones. You know, family, obviously, you know, and I'll include friends in that, family and friends. Health, you know, I'm at the ripe old age of 49. I'm feeling really good these days and I've been on a real journey, eating right, exercising, taking care of my health, doing that kind of thing. Family, health, this is gonna sound corny, but it's true. I mean, it's America. Like I am deeply, deeply grateful for this place.

1:10:25We live in the best place in the world. You know, people in almost every other country in the world would go, man, if I could move to America, I would. And Americans, even the ones that hate this place, they don't wanna leave. Nobody leaves. They threaten to leave. The Hollywood people, the Democrats, I'm gonna leave. I can't take it anymore. I'm gonna go to Canada. It's like nobody leaves because we have it so damn good that we kind of forget how good we have it. And again, it is on us, those of us who love this thing and realize how precious and rare it is to make sure it don't go nowhere as they say.

1:10:58That is my job, that is your job. I thank you for watching, post game show in 30 seconds, rubinreport.locals.com. See you tomorrow. So if it doesn't happen, I'm blaming J.D. Vince. If it does happen, I'm taking full credit.
