I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin

0:42

Report, and it's time for another Friday

0:45

Roundtable Extravaganza. Joining me today is a

0:47

political commentator, also known as

0:49

Emily Saves America on the Instagram, Emily Wilson,

0:52

and a former multiple-time Rubin Report guest,

0:54

the senior editor at Newsweek and host

0:56

of The Josh Hammer Show, Josh Hammer.

0:58

Emily, Josh, welcome to the show. Hello.

1:02

Dave, always a pleasure to join you, my friend. Josh,

1:04

you've been on a multitude of times, so I'm

1:06

going to hand it to the lady, the new

1:09

guest first. Emily, for people who don't know you

1:11

first time on the Rubin Report, what

1:13

is it that you're doing over there? You're in Los Angeles

1:15

right now. You're freaking me out when you told me that.

1:17

What else is going on? Yeah,

1:20

I mean, I guess at this point, I'm

1:22

basically like a cultural, political

1:25

commentator, but I'm just trying

1:28

to get involved locally so

1:30

we can save this city that I love

1:32

so much. Obviously, we've had Gavin Newsom in

1:35

charge forever, and he's done nothing for this

1:37

city, but I'm one of the few people

1:39

that's just staying here and not leaving, and

1:42

I'm just going to try to fight as hard as I can and make

1:45

it better because I think it's one of the

1:47

best places on the planet. And,

1:49

you know, everyone thinks that. And

1:52

I am one of the people who fought hard, got audited

1:54

by the state, and then left. And joined Josh in the

1:56

free state of Florida. All right, well, we're going to catch

1:58

up on a whole new show. whole bunch, and yes,

2:00

that is true. I got audited by the state

2:02

after I campaigned to get rid of Gavin Newsom.

2:05

We're gonna catch up on a whole bunch of some

2:07

of the weirder stories of the

2:10

week, but before we do, let

2:12

me talk to you guys about TWC Health.

2:14

Guys, what if I told you that you

2:16

could replace your energy drinks, your multivitamin, your

2:18

coffee, if you want to, and consolidate your

2:20

overall supplement intake with just one product? Yes,

2:23

one product, saving you money and making you

2:25

feel incredible. You've likely heard the chatter about

2:27

the benefits of beef organs, but have you

2:29

heard about bison organs? Yes, I said

2:31

it, bison. Why bison? Because it's

2:34

the leanest, most nutrient-dense and cleanest

2:36

meat source revered for centuries, for

2:38

its unmatched makeup of minerals, vitamins,

2:40

and protein, hormone-free, vaccine-free, grass-fed, and

2:43

finished. No GMOs, additives, or fillers.

2:45

It doesn't get cleaner or closer

2:47

to the source than Bison Trifecta

2:49

from the Wellness Company, a revolution

2:52

in nutritional science. The indigenous people

2:54

knew how to harness the raw,

2:56

untapped energy of bison organs, and

2:58

now you too can experience

3:01

it for yourself. Pure, ethically sourced

3:03

bison in its most bio-available form

3:05

freeze-dried in a convenient capsule. Bison

3:08

Trifecta takes the magic of heart,

3:10

liver, and kidney and

3:12

combines them into a powerful blend that you

3:14

can help to elevate your athletic performance, improve

3:16

your digestion, shift your mood, reduce inflammation, increase

3:19

energy, balance hormones, improve tissue recovery, and more.

3:21

Take them as daily capsules or crack them

3:23

open and sprinkle the powder into your meals

3:25

or your kids' meals too, but do yourself

3:27

a favor and make sure you find a

3:30

way to add bison trifecta to your life,

3:46

now back to me. Okay, so let's just

3:48

jump into some of the weird and the

3:50

wacky of the week. I wanna

3:52

talk about South Dakota Governor,

3:55

Kristi Noem. I've had Kristi on the show,

3:57

I've met her a few times. Perfectly lovely.

4:00

lady she has had a very uncomfortable

4:02

week. Her book came out and

4:04

apparently there's a few stories in there that

4:06

either quite aren't jiving with the truth or

4:08

were completely made up and also involve a

4:10

dead dog. Let's start

4:13

however with her claiming that

4:15

she met Kim Jong-un in the

4:18

book, something that apparently never happened.

4:20

So they're also attacking you, I

4:22

guess you said you met Kim

4:24

Jong-un. Did you meet him? I've

4:26

been to the DMZ, I've been to North Korea.

4:28

You know people I don't talk about my conversations

4:30

with world leaders and so when

4:32

I looked at the book and I saw

4:34

that excerpt I decided to make

4:37

the change to the content of the book and that's been

4:39

done. So you didn't have a conversation with Kim

4:41

when you were at the DMZ? I don't have

4:43

conversations about my conversations with world leaders. I've

4:45

been working on policy for 30 years Cassie

4:48

and that's what most people don't remember about me is

4:51

I'm old. I'm a mom, I'm

4:53

a grandma, I've got three little grand babies. So

4:55

maybe you didn't have a conversation with Kim but

4:57

you don't want to talk? I will not talk

4:59

about my personal conversations with any world leaders. It

5:01

just won't and I'm not. Okay

5:04

so it's fairly obvious she

5:06

did not write the book. I mean she's admitting

5:08

that there. That's one thing okay ghost writer's fine.

5:11

I think people sort of accept that from political

5:13

leaders. The fact that

5:15

she won't just admit it

5:17

and he's Jesse's doing the most

5:19

like kind of like helping her out

5:21

like just give me something here lady

5:23

to not look completely fraudulent. She just

5:25

can't do it. Josh I know

5:28

you've been talking about this story all week. It's

5:30

just so painfully ridiculous and she's a decent governor

5:32

by the way which is I think partly why

5:34

I wanted to cover it because it's like even

5:36

the decent ones. Here we go. Well

5:40

Dave look I mean I actually have some personal

5:42

experience here because I actually worked with Senator Ted

5:44

Cruz on his 2020 book. It was a book

5:46

about the US Supreme Court called

5:48

One Vote Away and I actually don't really

5:50

use the term ghost writer because that would

5:52

be overstating my role. Ted was very hands

5:54

on the book. I remember Senator Cruz send

5:57

the emails that were time stamped at two

5:59

thirty three I mean he was burning

6:01

the midnight oil working really hard drafting

6:03

chapters on this book Well, admittedly not

6:05

everyone has Ted Cruz's work ethic or

6:07

frankly his IQ is a very smart

6:09

man But even if you were a

6:11

politician who has to rely more on

6:13

a ghost writer You have to know

6:16

what's in the book I mean at

6:18

some point probably should have actually read

6:20

the chapters and signed off on the

6:22

literal anecdotes that were included there The

6:24

Kim Jong-un thing is obviously absolutely ridiculous

6:26

I mean, why would you feel a

6:28

need to even brag about about meeting

6:30

Kim Jong-un in the first place? I guess

6:32

because Donald Trump met him and then all

6:34

of a sudden we're supposed to brag about

6:36

meeting people who are authoritarian Thugs, I mean

6:38

to me there's nothing inherently Praiseworthy in its

6:40

own right about meeting Kim Jong-un even assuming

6:43

that it's truthful which it quite clearly is

6:45

not Kristi Noem has all

6:47

sorts of issues day between this and the whole puppy killing

6:49

thing Which I'm assuming that we're gonna get into I think

6:51

that she's probably out of the running at this point for

6:53

vice president for Donald Trump We will get

6:55

to the puppy thing in just a moment

6:57

But Emily the fact that she just won't

7:00

just say it like she basically admitted she

7:02

didn't write the book Okay, fine, but then

7:04

why not just say you know what actually

7:06

I didn't and some things got crossed up

7:09

like to just dig yourself Deeper. It's just

7:11

standard politician 101 that everyone can see through

7:14

Yeah, I mean look I never want to be a politician

7:17

I'm definitely not one I tend to just try to

7:19

give Common-sense answers

7:22

that people can relate to who like aren't

7:24

into politics the way we are But it's

7:26

so funny to me because I wish people

7:28

would understand at this point in time People

7:31

just want people who are authentic and we

7:33

see right through everyone It's so easy now

7:35

if you lie for us to find out

7:37

and for people to come and attack you

7:39

and it's like you would look So

7:42

great if you just accepted that you might

7:44

have lied and also made fun of yourself

7:47

That's what makes you likeable and you had

7:50

the opportunity with someone like Jesse who I

7:52

love talking to you because we laugh Almost

7:54

the whole time and it's like just admit

7:56

it and also I'm confused. Did You not read

7:58

the book? You think

8:00

to me and all I did read about and also it's

8:02

like I don't discuss these things but I put it in

8:05

a blog. It's like nothing with you could stop the. South

8:08

it now. Okay, interesting. right?

8:11

It's just need so many layers of it

8:13

and I guess before all media they could

8:15

just endlessly get away with it. You know

8:17

they could make up stories and nobody would

8:19

know. but now yes, Twitter and Instagram the

8:21

rest of it and you tube and all

8:23

that exist and you just can't get away

8:25

with it. The youth they were used in.

8:27

the other odd thing that has happened on

8:29

this as she as well now cancelled her

8:31

book tour will get to that the second.

8:34

but as this book has been released in

8:36

she tells a story of killing a family

8:38

dog while she lived on a ranch and

8:40

this has. Like absolutely blown up all

8:42

over the internet. I hear she is

8:44

on Fox business talking about that. Are

8:46

trying not to talk about it, but

8:48

still. Wagner Still think that you are

8:50

in line to be Trump's Vice Presidents.

8:52

After that, it's up to Donald Trump. He's the only person

8:54

who will decide this. It's funny of the only person who

8:56

will decide and I support yes I do speak. To him

8:59

a i ask what asset to you about and I. Never

9:01

thought. Never tell anybody my personal conversation.

9:03

To adopt story Go marching on on the so I

9:05

talk. To President Trump all the time. About the door

9:07

about. A lot of things. And right now

9:10

I tell you what. He has been persecuted

9:12

and a political hunt witch hunt in this

9:14

court. Case self to time Renata. Know

9:16

about how tough he is and how well he is

9:18

doing. Did you bring up ad hoc and now. From

9:20

Seward with truck to do an interview room to

9:22

kill us which he we're doing right now. Either

9:25

the you need to stop it is. It

9:27

is also talk about some real topics that

9:29

americans. Care about the free world time? Oh of

9:31

course we are to thank you for being with

9:33

us or know I pressed hard but that's what

9:35

people are talking about to this day South gonna

9:37

know I should join. It was a mission with

9:40

us. Will be back in just a moment without

9:42

me us. when i read

9:44

you can cut cut the that detention

9:46

with a knife josh seem again she

9:48

quote unquote wrote about the dog killing

9:50

story and now she's upset the people

9:52

are asking her about the dog dealing

9:54

story visited looking to see the competent

9:57

gov that's why i think this is

9:59

so bizarre How can you be

10:01

so competent at one thing and then

10:03

either not writing the book and not

10:05

being prepared for media hits about it

10:07

and yeah, just the dishonesty. Dave,

10:11

that was probably one of the most awkward moments

10:13

on television I think I've ever seen what we

10:15

just watched right there. I mean that

10:18

was just really painful. I mean just to take

10:20

that in as a viewer, let alone I guess

10:22

for her or for Stuart Varney to be sitting

10:24

there in the actual chair. So

10:26

if I understand the situation correctly, this is

10:28

Chrissy Noem's second book. Her debut

10:31

book was two years ago in 2022 and

10:33

there was an article in Politico which I

10:35

read which basically said that at that time

10:37

Chrissy Noem also won the talk about killing

10:39

the 14 month old puppy but the book

10:41

editors and the agent were like, what

10:43

the heck are you doing? I mean like this is not a good

10:46

story, is it going to kill your political career? And

10:48

then apparently this time around she managed to sneak

10:50

it through or maybe just the ghost writer wanted

10:52

to include it and she didn't actually read it.

10:55

So unclear exactly what happened here but here is

10:57

my biggest problem above all with the fact that

10:59

this story got into the book, Dave. Yes, she

11:01

obviously did not read the book. I mean frankly

11:03

if we're just being really honest here Chrissy Noem

11:06

is probably not a particularly impressive figure when it

11:08

comes to her ability to write and read books

11:10

and all that stuff but whatever. Holding

11:12

that aside, the worst part about all of

11:15

this to me is the fact that she

11:17

apparently felt a need on a certain level

11:19

to include this anecdote to boost her chances

11:21

of being Donald Trump's vice president. What

11:24

in the world does that say about

11:26

how Chrissy Noem views the median Republican voter in

11:28

this country, the median Trump voter in this country

11:30

that she thought that a story about killing your

11:32

14 month old adorable puppy instead of just putting

11:35

in the decent work that Americans put in day

11:37

in and day out to train their dogs, to

11:39

train their pets, every person who's ever owned the

11:41

dog, I've owned dogs since I was a little

11:44

kid, every person who's owned the dog knows you

11:46

just trained dogs. And the fact that she said,

11:48

I'm not going to do that, I'm just going

11:50

to shoot the puppy point blank buried in dirt

11:53

road, she thought that would appeal to Trump voters

11:55

and therefore boost her chances. The fact that

11:57

she has that view of Trump voters and

11:59

Republican voters. I think it's self-disqualification.

12:01

Right, it's bizarre as to just why

12:03

you put it in there. Did she

12:05

not think the blowback was gonna be

12:07

worse than whatever cred she might get

12:09

for having killed the dog for I

12:11

guess the dog killing community that votes

12:13

for Trump or something like that? Anyway,

12:15

all of this has led to now

12:17

this from real clear politics. Kristy

12:20

Noem cuts her book tour short,

12:23

citing bad weather, and

12:26

she had to cancel her appearance on My

12:28

Good Buddy, The King of Late Night, Greg

12:30

Gutfeld's show, take a look at this. This

12:34

weekend I did something I rarely do. I

12:37

read a guest book for a segment we had

12:39

planned. It's called No Going

12:41

Back by Kristy Noem. Who

12:43

knew the title was referring to this show?

12:48

Because today she canceled on us. The

12:51

one time I actually read the book and the

12:53

author, sorry, I mean the person whose name is

12:55

on the book, cancels,

12:59

blames the weather. I

13:02

don't believe it. I just think it's a little

13:04

late to keep her on a short leash. So

13:06

we're moving forward with the interview, standing

13:08

in for Kristy Noem as somebody she

13:10

wished she had listened to before she

13:12

ever wrote the stupid book. Dana Perino.

13:19

So Dana, AKA Governor Noem, did

13:21

you write the book yourself? That's

13:25

a great question for someone who wrote

13:27

the book. And I don't think I

13:29

will dignify your question with a response.

13:31

There are so many other important issues

13:33

in the world, like animal

13:35

cruelty. Would you blame, I've got a

13:37

lot of controversies here. The

13:40

Ghost Rider, the editor, the publisher, was

13:42

it their fault? Well, little known fact,

13:45

another one of my dogs, his

13:47

name was Ghost Rider. And

13:50

I killed him this morning. Emily,

13:54

the reason I'm showing that clip is because, you know,

13:56

Fox has been very kind to her. She's

14:00

been a strong Republican and strong conservative, really

14:02

good on COVID and everything else.

14:04

But like, even now it's bubbling up

14:06

there that she's kind of a fraud.

14:09

I think that's just interesting relative to

14:11

everything that's happening on the right right

14:13

now. I think the worst

14:15

thing was when you're watching her interviews, you're like, okay,

14:17

not only like, as someone who's on

14:20

a much smaller scale, before I go on

14:22

big things, I do have people that I

14:24

talk to and they're like, maybe don't do

14:27

this. So I'm a little bit worried at

14:29

her level. She didn't have people, I don't

14:31

know, helping her out or maybe preparing her

14:33

to go on interviews. And then once again,

14:36

because she was so unauthentic in the interviews,

14:38

it was so uncomfortable. It made her

14:40

very unlikable. And now you have them

14:42

on Fox basically making fun of her. But everything

14:45

they're saying is very funny. And it's kind of

14:47

true. It's hard to not to not laugh and

14:49

sides with them. I just think I

14:51

just think the best thing you can do is kind of own these

14:53

things, make fun of yourself, make a joke, and

14:55

then try to switch it into doing something good with it.

14:57

But just blowing it off and avoiding it, I feel like

14:59

that's truly the worst thing you can do. If

15:01

she has like a PR team or whatever, she's going to have to work

15:03

a little bit harder with them because now she kind of looks, that's

15:06

so great to be nice. Josh, Josh, as

15:08

I said, I didn't cover this all week. I mean,

15:10

there's obviously been way more important stuff, but partly it

15:12

was also because I was like, you know what, she's

15:14

been a pretty good governor. The left

15:16

is completely insane. The Democrats have lost their

15:19

mind. I don't want to do

15:21

anything as it relates to infighting on the right. However,

15:24

I guess we do have to call out some of

15:26

this nonsense when we see it. Otherwise, nothing will ever

15:28

get better, right? Yeah,

15:30

we absolutely do have to call it out. I mean,

15:33

Dave, I guess I'll be a little less polite than

15:35

you. I mean, Christy Noem, to be very candid with

15:37

you, I've actually not been a huge fan of hers

15:39

for a long time. She was overall better than most

15:41

governors during COVID. I will definitely say that, although this

15:43

idea that she never locked down her state is something

15:45

of a historical revisionist

15:47

exercise. But, you know, she

15:49

played this game with like, oh, I'm a ranch girl

15:51

from South Dakota back when she was a U.S. Congresswoman.

15:53

I think if you actually look at her record, it

15:55

was really never quite as conservative as she said it

15:57

was. But more of the point, when she was governor.

16:00

of South Dakota, Dave. There was a big expose

16:02

in National Review, maybe about a year and a

16:04

half ago or so, talking about the extent to

16:06

which the transgender lobby of all

16:08

lobbies actually co-opted the South Dakota State

16:10

Legislature. And Chrissy Nome was totally on

16:12

board with this. So there are actually

16:14

some red flags there in her substantive

16:16

resume as well. So I'm personally

16:19

speaking, I'm just frankly not overly impressed by the whole package.

16:21

And I think America is starting to get a taste of

16:23

that as well. This

16:25

episode is brought to you by Shopify.

16:28

Do you have a point of sale Do you have a point of

16:30

sale system you can trust or is it a

16:33

real POS? a real POS? You

16:35

need Shopify for retail. From

16:50

today. That's

16:52

shopify.com/ system. Well you

16:54

did give me a good segue because somehow

16:57

we always end up talking about

16:59

something related to the LGBTQI two-spirit.

17:01

What else have they added to

17:03

it this week? Anything I need?

17:05

People who like waffle thing. Because

17:08

over on the televised mental institution known as

17:10

MSNBC, here is Joy Reid, who I'm fairly

17:12

certain that's not her real hair. Here

17:15

she is talking about the black

17:18

lesbian WNBA player Brittany Griner who

17:20

was held hostage by Russia. She

17:22

got out, but listen to the way

17:24

she frames this thing. It's to me

17:26

sort of shocking to think about spending nearly

17:29

a year far from home wondering if you'll

17:31

ever get out because she

17:33

was sentenced to nine years, nine and

17:35

a half years incarceration for what in

17:37

this country would amount to nothing and

17:40

for something that wasn't even deliberate. I

17:43

think the Putin regime understood that

17:46

they had not just a black

17:48

celebrity, a black queer celebrity, somebody

17:50

who could be used internally as

17:52

a pawn, somebody who they could

17:55

sort of internally mock and

17:57

hold hostage. the

18:00

united states knowing the trauma that it would

18:02

cause back home joy

18:05

reid thank you so much will

18:07

be watching the readout of course

18:09

we do tonight at seven p.m.

18:12

eastern for part two of joy's

18:14

exclusive interview with britney

18:16

grine you got a lot of

18:18

you got a lot of me to bring it to a great

18:20

bank i don't know what the high hell you just said there's

18:23

something very weird in that emily because she

18:25

basically this is a woman who claims that

18:27

america's is themically racist and we hate days

18:29

of lesbians in every day but

18:31

she's basically saying thank god she was a

18:34

black lesbian over there because that trauma is

18:36

what brought that made it a little softer

18:38

for all of us and made us care

18:40

a little bit more oddly she does not

18:43

care about the five american hostages better being

18:45

held underground in gaza right now yeah

18:49

uh... natterdhar president the

18:51

fact that we have americans over there and i

18:53

don't believe he's addressed it at all talking to

18:55

my friend jory is one of

18:57

them i would say the dumbest

18:59

people on the planet uh...

19:01

she's actually nothing for females

19:04

i can't say she would have nothing to

19:06

no career if she got her imagine she

19:09

couldn't talk about race or her skin color

19:11

because i think it apparently everything

19:13

races meanwhile she's one

19:15

of the dumbest people on the planet and she's thriving

19:17

i would say i'm i do a lot better than

19:19

her but i don't get propped up for t.v. shows

19:21

because i'm a face long white girl you know what

19:24

i mean and so it's so funny to watch her

19:26

like not only this whole uh...

19:28

black lesbian doesn't act she

19:30

broke a law in a

19:32

country that doesn't allow and pander

19:34

to the bs that we do

19:36

here not only uh... was

19:38

she anti-american i think she should have served out her

19:41

eight years there and if i had anything to do

19:43

with it she would be there and she would be

19:45

serving the eight years i would absolutely not trade her

19:47

for anything i'd be like america's horrible it's racist it's

19:49

oppressive great you're gonna sit in that cell you're gonna

19:52

have eight years to think about it enjoy josh

19:54

i don't love the idea of americans being held in

19:56

any other country's prisons for any other reason and i

19:58

hundred percent all i think them being held

20:00

hostage, you know, after being kidnapped,

20:03

obviously. But doesn't, everything

20:05

she said there is a complete reversal of

20:07

everything she preaches on her show every day.

20:10

If America didn't care about black lesbians, then

20:12

we wouldn't have given a crap and Brittany

20:14

Griner would still be in Russia. Yeah.

20:17

I guess my question is, is her hair

20:19

dye seeping into her brain? I

20:22

mean, I think the answer to that is definitely

20:24

yes. By the way, speaking of Joy Reid, I

20:26

mean, it wasn't that long ago, Dave, if I

20:28

recall that we, that someone

20:31

on the World Wide Web uncovered

20:33

Joy Reid's very homophobic blog from

20:35

many years ago, right? So for

20:37

her to kind of now be

20:39

this avatar for the LGBT community

20:42

is just different layers

20:44

of insane and complete an utter

20:46

lack of self-awareness. You know, obviously,

20:48

a lack of self-awareness goes pretty

20:50

far at MSNBC these days. You have Al

20:52

Sharpton, the guy who incited the murderous 1991 pogrom in

20:55

Crown Heights, Brooklyn, that led to the

20:57

death of Genkel Rosenbaum. He is now

21:00

talking about combating anti-Semitism, even didn't event

21:02

with Jonathan Greenblatt, the AVL. So there

21:04

was clearly a general lack of self-awareness that

21:07

goes in the water or the water tank

21:09

there at MSNBC or whatever they're imbibing there.

21:11

Brittany Griner, I have no sympathy for her

21:13

whatsoever. Emily, that's a very base take that

21:15

she should have served out the Senate there.

21:18

At a bare minimum, I definitely agree that

21:20

she was not worth negotiating for, giving up

21:22

any kind of asset in exchange for her because

21:24

she obviously did know that what she was doing

21:26

was illegal. And if you don't know that that's

21:28

illegal, then you have other problems, frankly. Let

21:31

me ask both of you this, but Josh, continue

21:33

for a second. I mean, do you think, I

21:35

know irony is dead and there's sort of nothing

21:37

that's too over the top for these people, but

21:39

do you think Joy understands at some level it's

21:42

a bit ironic what she's saying as it pertains

21:44

to the fact that she will not say anything

21:46

about the five American hostages? Forget the Israelis for

21:48

a second. There are five Americans somewhere, well, they

21:50

could all be dead. We don't know. We know

21:52

that one of them, at least in

21:54

the last week, although his arms blown off is not dead

21:57

at least, but they're there.

21:59

They're underground. and she will not say a

22:01

word about them. As a matter of fact, she will embolden

22:03

the people who are keeping them there. Right.

22:06

Yeah, David, as I think you know,

22:08

ever since October 7, this has been

22:10

a particular thing that I am just

22:12

extremely, extremely frustrated and angry about, even

22:14

taken on its own terms. Holding aside,

22:16

not just the Israelis, well, the European

22:18

citizens, everyone else who was slaughtered there

22:20

at the music festival and on that

22:22

horrific day, there were at least 30

22:24

to 40 US citizens who were killed

22:27

and at least a dozen or more

22:29

who were taken hostage by Hamas, literally

22:31

on its own terms. Since October 7,

22:33

this has been the single largest American

22:35

hostage crisis since Tehran in 1979. And

22:38

no one's talking about that. You know, Joy

22:40

Reid's not talking about it. Frankly, a lot

22:42

of people, Dave, even on our own so-called

22:45

side, you know, a lot of folks who

22:47

kind of pound their chest and say, America

22:49

first all day. Well, America first apparently stops

22:51

when there are American citizens murdered by a

22:53

America recognized foreign terrorist organization and then held

22:55

hostage by that same organization. Joy Reid is

22:57

completely despicable and two-faced when it comes to

22:59

this. I don't think she has the self-awareness

23:01

to go back to what I was just

23:03

saying to realize that she is so hypocritical

23:06

here but she's hardly the only offender here. I guess

23:08

I will say that. Yeah,

23:10

Emily, what do you think about that? I suspect you

23:12

agree with most of the sentiment there. Of

23:14

course, and I don't think she cares. I don't

23:16

think she cares about any Americans anywhere when they

23:19

hate all the Americans that are right next to

23:21

them in this country that has given them such

23:23

a beautiful life. And I would say I have

23:25

no sympathy for Brittany Greiner and

23:28

I would say that if it wasn't her

23:30

and it was some far right MAGA person

23:32

lost up, you think she would- Exactly.

23:35

She would vote for them to

23:37

rot there. That's why I have no sympathy. These

23:39

people are so hypocritical and it's just time to call

23:41

them out on it. Are you telling

23:43

me that if a bunch of frat dudes

23:46

with MAGA hats had taken over the Columbia campus

23:48

that Joy Reid wouldn't have been cheering them on?

23:50

Am I to believe that? Exactly,

23:52

yeah. Lordy, Lordy. Well, I

23:54

do have some good news as it relates to

23:56

all of this because DEI, diversity, equity and inclusion,

23:58

which they should have- called DIE, because that's what

24:01

they want to happen to the rest of us, is

24:03

crumbling in front of our eyes. And it's a

24:05

really beautiful thing to watch. And one of the

24:07

guys who really promoted this and escalated its sort

24:11

of relevance in the culture is

24:13

former football player, former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

24:16

And he is now, even he is now

24:18

realizing this thing is losing steam. Take a

24:20

look. I think there was a lot of

24:22

initial work done and

24:24

a lot of marketing and PR done

24:26

around it. Yeah. But

24:29

a lot of that has faded and gone

24:31

away. A

24:33

lot of the initiatives around diversity,

24:36

equity, and inclusion, a

24:40

lot of those have been dismantled. A

24:43

lot of those people have been fired from those

24:46

physicians and they don't exist anymore. So

24:49

there's still a lot of work that

24:52

needs to be done there. And

24:56

again, I think that comes back to customers

25:01

or fans or communities. They

25:06

have to voice their opinion of what they think

25:08

is acceptable and what brands

25:11

and organizations they are willing to

25:13

support. Do they represent their

25:15

beliefs? It's incredible

25:17

to me. He's almost telling the truth, except

25:20

accidentally, right? It's like there is a lot

25:22

more work to be done. I agree. More

25:24

DEI people should be fired. And yes, the

25:27

fans have issued their feelings about this. They

25:29

don't like endless racism in all of sports,

25:31

which is why ESPN's ratings are in the

25:33

tank. Josh, he doesn't seem

25:35

to grasp that, I don't think. No,

25:39

he definitely does not grasp that. But I

25:41

guess give him at least A

25:44

tiny morsel of credit for having some

25:46

self-awareness, Again, contrary to Joy Reed on

25:48

our previous segment here. I mean, Colin

25:50

Kaepernick really was kind of a precursor

25:52

in retrospect to the whole woke thing

25:54

blowing up. I mean, the whole taking

25:56

a knee during the national anthem. That

25:59

was a very... Mighty precursor to the

26:01

explosion, the black lives Matter rise during twenty

26:03

twenties. You know he wasn't very good football

26:05

player on I used not on Athena that

26:07

the last time I checked, but he does.

26:09

He does deserve at least some credit for

26:12

helping get this conversation out there. and he's

26:14

currently losing that conversation. Thank God because the

26:16

I has never been less popular As he

26:18

said, Dave Rc to Florida Court has banned

26:20

as in public universities. I actually saw a

26:22

very interesting headline from earlier this week or

26:25

last week. No less prestigious a private university

26:27

than M I T itself. M I actually

26:29

signed a crackdown on their diverse these are

26:31

on campus selling horribly apprentice M I T

26:33

with the lesser discussed of the liberal triumvirate

26:35

that testified there in Congress back in December.

26:38

Twenty Twenty three. A few months ago you

26:40

had fighting Galas Mcgill and then score blue

26:42

baby when unscathed the presence of them. I

26:44

see no Mit is banned in the I

26:46

They burst the same as in fact that

26:49

the high rates were clearly making inroads on

26:51

this issue. Telling have you can't have any

26:53

probably should realize you know what time it

26:55

is so to speak and that his side

26:57

is losing. But I guess give him a

26:59

little. Bit a credit reckon I somebody. Emily

27:02

your white is that correct?

27:06

That. Yeah. They're. Gonna

27:09

ride for it. No I mean look seeing

27:11

all of the seeing this thing crumble, this

27:13

thing that has so infected so many people

27:15

Have your generation. You.

27:17

Must feel good that may be the warm

27:20

is turning her. I

27:23

mean I think what's happening and I've I've

27:25

been preaching about it online because every time

27:27

I'm attack on line, Italy's my hair color

27:29

and the color of my scan and I'm

27:31

like I really, I don't hold back when

27:33

it comes to anything race, whatever and my

27:36

first thought I think people never sick up

27:38

or how unfair all this is. For.

27:40

Literally Asians in America. I'm like him. Go

27:42

there, it would be ninety eight percent. Isn't

27:44

that this place? And I'm like they're like

27:46

the fact that they. Get. Kind

27:49

of crap on so hard. Id society right now

27:51

breaks my heart a little bit. I feel like

27:53

they don't speak up and I hope more than

27:55

turn conservative because it is unfair. But I explain

27:57

to people like. Specific. equal

28:01

opportunity does not equal equal outcome. We have

28:03

to reward people for working hard and being

28:05

the smartest and being the best. And should

28:07

we help people at the bottom? Yes, but

28:09

what is the motivation when everything is handed

28:11

to us? And then you put our lives

28:13

at stake. It's insane. There was

28:15

a courtroom they showed and it was like nine

28:19

black female judges. And someone was like,

28:21

this statistically is not possible. And I

28:23

was like, I'm gonna get sentenced to

28:25

death because none of them like me.

28:27

You know what I mean? Just for the

28:29

record, you're talking, I think you're talking about

28:31

the New York State Supreme Court which is

28:33

now all five black females. It is statistically

28:35

impossible. And it certainly is not diverse. You

28:39

care about diversity. Diversity is

28:41

only, diversity is just anti-white at this

28:43

point. And the thing is when you

28:45

hear diversity too, when are we talking

28:47

about Asians? When are we talking about Indians?

28:49

When are we talking about literally anyone except

28:51

for black people? And I'm like, this is

28:53

not fair. We can't prop one group of people

28:56

to the top. Meanwhile, forgetting about everyone else.

28:58

I love diversity. I think it's great. I

29:00

think people should grow up seeing everyone and that

29:02

should be completely normal. But not when there's

29:04

so much anti-white rhetoric going on to the

29:06

point where it's like, it's just, it's only

29:08

for black Americans or black people at this

29:10

point. I think it's ridiculous and it's unfair. So

29:13

I wanna end this week with one other

29:15

story because everyone knows I like ending the

29:17

shows but particularly Friday with something positive. And

29:19

there are some signs throughout the world that

29:21

things can turn around. And I think we're

29:23

seeing some of them on our college campuses

29:26

with the frat froze pushing back against the

29:28

Hamas soldiers and the rest of

29:30

it. But I wanna do something international here

29:32

from Argentina because there really is something wonderful

29:34

happening down there right now. I've got a

29:36

tweet here from Suzanne Evans. Wow, inflation down

29:38

300% to 11%. The

29:41

first quarterly budget surplus since 2008. Interest

29:45

Rates cut three times in three

29:47

weeks and the Argentine peso becomes

29:49

the world's best performing currency. Malay

29:51

Proves the left wing economic establishment

29:54

wrong. So Of course she's referring

29:56

to the new Argentinian president. He's

29:58

a Libertarian and a- That a

30:00

hobby or Malaysia. He's been absolutely

30:02

wonderful and he almost overnight he

30:05

has completely transformed. or Argentina particularly

30:07

their economy. or we've got to

30:09

Be Or them. Economy.

30:11

Up less less humid guess it as he to my

30:13

30:23

30:44

30:46

30:49

30:51

is nothing. Not even Uma who summoned in a seat

30:57

30:59

else. Is it a surplus in the policy? Because this.

31:02

For. Those of you better listening on the

31:04

audio podcast who are not native Spanish speakers.

31:06

In essence, he is saying inflation which is

31:09

caused by the government is artificially putting pressures

31:11

on the system so that when people want

31:13

to trade properly, they cannot do it because

31:15

the prices don't make sense. That sort of

31:18

like the simple bumper sticker version of a

31:20

judge. Perhaps you want a clean that up,

31:22

just a little it. But how incredible has

31:24

this been to watch? Basically within six months

31:26

this guy do a complete one eighty with

31:29

the country that was on the verge of

31:31

collapse. Yeah. it's

31:33

a deeply inspiring story i mean my

31:35

ios do ya looking at the whole

31:38

south american continent the unfortunately south america

31:40

politically speaking over the past three four

31:42

years has really gone the wrong direction

31:44

there's been something of a pink wave

31:46

in many countries brazil has certainly gone

31:49

the absolutely wrong direction under the law

31:51

who was a chinese communist party sympathizers

31:53

very cozy with the iranian regime of

31:55

brazil's going the wrong way i argentina

31:58

and is increasingly be be long Bastion

32:00

of sanity in the entire South American continent

32:02

and I guess the most impressive thing Dave

32:04

how quickly this is happening I mean it

32:06

was not that long ago that he got

32:08

into power there But you know it just

32:10

goes to show you that when you reject

32:12

the tenets of socialist economics And you just

32:14

embrace some good old-fashioned common sense You know

32:16

maybe central planning is not here there and

32:18

everywhere the solution Maybe just a little bit

32:20

of what the people do their thing get

32:22

interest rates under control get inflation under

32:24

control You know he's sounding there a lot like Milton

32:26

Friedman Which makes sense because he is a libertarian guy,

32:29

but the way he speaks about inflation interest rates

32:31

is clearly derived from the from the monetary

32:33

school Of economics he's a University of Chicago

32:35

style economic free market guy, and it's been

32:37

really inspiring honestly did Emily

32:39

how do we get more young people to

32:41

understand that the government is not the answer

32:44

But that the government is the problem and

32:46

that they will keep printing more money That's

32:48

destroying the value of money and the more

32:50

services They give you means that they're taking

32:52

more from you one way or another et

32:54

cetera et cetera Um

32:58

It's so funny all these kids at college. I never once

33:00

called I like the dumbest kids that have ever existed, so

33:02

I'm not really sure what's going on or what they're teaching

33:04

them I think at this point is to keep them

33:06

dumb to buy much them, but I will say with someone

33:08

I do social media I'm on it all the time unfortunately.

33:11

I'm telling you if you go to tick tock right now

33:13

all these young kids and Thousands

33:16

thousands of videos they're all going What like

33:18

they're like literally going to like be like

33:20

eat the rich and seem like celebrities at

33:22

Mac gala because they cannot afford food They

33:24

come out for groceries their car their insurance.

33:26

They can't they can't afford rent all these

33:28

things They're literally like what are we doing

33:31

and I was like oh congrats? You

33:33

guys are waking up welcome to all

33:35

33:38

guys all thought politics was a joke now You're realizing

33:40

that these things affect your life all you know we

33:42

don't just print money out of thin air There's no

33:44

such thing as free. They're finally starting to realize that

33:46

you know what I mean It's just repackaged and it

33:48

goes right back to you. I'm like they're not giving

33:50

us money They're taxing it and

33:52

they're gonna get it back anyways with more money,

33:54

so I'm thank God I'm seeing these videos go

33:57

so viral and there's so many of them kids

33:59

are waking up I think they are

34:01

paying attention and there's a wave of young

34:03

conservative kids because they're like, we can't live like

34:05

this anymore. And I go, yeah, I mean, you

34:07

voted for this and you enjoyed it for a

34:09

while. Now that your life sucks, you

34:11

woke up. Congrats. Better late than never.

34:14

Emily, what does a cool white Instagrammer

34:16

do in LA over the weekend? Oh,

34:20

I'm so basic. I just go hiking.

34:22

I hang out with my dogs and we

34:25

get lunch. We go drive to

34:27

PCH Malibu, whatever it is. Honestly, I love it

34:29

here. I feel like I'm living the dream. It's

34:31

funny, when we travel, we realize like this is

34:33

the dream for us. That's why I'm like, hey,

34:35

let's try to preserve the dream and not let

34:37

these psychos leftists ruin it. But luckily

34:39

there's a lot of Republicans here and they're starting to

34:42

speak out, including a lot of celebrities and athletes now.

34:44

That gives me a lot of hope. Josh,

34:46

how about that? A chick in LA with hope.

34:48

Very bizarre for a Florida man like you. What

34:50

does a Florida man do over the weekend? Well,

34:54

Dave, funny you should ask. I'm actually playing golf on

34:56

Sunday at Trump Doral, which the last time I was

34:58

35:00

Doral. That was a good night. Yep. Dave

35:03

Rubin was very much at that wedding and having a good

35:05

time. I think we're all having a good time together. So I

35:07

35:09
