Hey There Rubinites,

Hope you all are having a great week! Welcome to the eleventh issue of The Rubin Recap! As I’ve mentioned on the show, every month in August I go off the grid to stay sane and spend time with family. That being said, this will be the LAST edition of the Rubin Report before I take a little hiatus. I’ll miss you all, but for now I’m excited to continue sharing facts, insights, and more while always hearing your thoughts on all things Rubin Report. Let’s get into it!

This Week on The Rubin Report: 

Well, Kamala Harris is officially the presumptive nominee for the democrats and it just keeps getting crazier. Between the Olympics opening ceremony and Elon Musk showcasing Google’s election interference, the world has shown no signs of slowing down. So here it goes! Before I take a break it’s time for one more weekly rundown. 

On Monday, I talked about the controversy over Joe Rogan’s latest interview with Jordan Peterson, in which Peterson stopped holding back about the real damage of gender-affirming care on minors and trans youth. I moved on to that insane anti-Christian Paris Olympics opening ceremony. I also made reference to Ben Carson surprising Tucker Carlson with his brutal assessment of Kamala Harris and a clip of “Real Time with Bill Maher” exposing how Kamala Harris is to the left of Bernie Sanders on the issue of equity vs. equality. I then discussed a damaging resurfaced clip of Kamala Harris telling Lester Holt that she supports abolishing private health insurance in favor of a Medicare-for-all plan and Elon Musk’s vicious comeback to Gavin Newsom for threatening him for posting an AI-generated Kamala Harris campaign ad. Lastly, we ended the day off with Bill Maher explaining in simple terms why Kamala can’t win.

On Tuesday, I started the day off by talking about Elon Musk sharing a hilarious video proving how the mainstream media is simply a propaganda organization for the Democratic Party and NPCs with their latest talking points about JD Vance being “weird.” We moved on to “The View’s” Sunny Hostin and a parade of other TV personalities working overtime to make viewers forget about Kamala Harris’ past radical leftist policy proposals as they desperately lie to convince voters that she is a moderate and a centrist while Greg Gutfeld is exposing Kamala for hiring child actors for a photo op. I had to make mention of Harry Sisson embarrassing himself by returning to “Piers Morgan Uncensored” after deciding never to back down from supporting President Biden. The show ended with me discussing how Elon Musk is accusing Google of election interference and Nicolas Maduro beginning to lose control of Venezuela following the contested elections as the military begins to refuse his orders.

On Wednesday, I released my FINAL DM (for the time being) where I talked about why I go off the grid for the month of August despite the upcoming Democratic National Convention and the insanity of political news at this moment. I wanted to discuss the importance of his digital detoxes as well as roundup my favorite interviews and moments of the past year with Bill Maher, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Jordan Peterson, Patrick Bet-David, Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Dr. Phil, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Dr. Drew, and Douglas Murray just to name a few. I also made sure to do a special “ask me anything” question-and-answer session on a wide-ranging host of topics, answering questions for all of you! I want to know what your favorite Rubin moments of the year were and what you hope to see when I get back. Comment down below!

This Week’s Sit Down Interviews: 

In my most recent Sit-Down I talked with NYU professor Scott Galloway about his political stance as a "raging moderate," the challenges moderates face from both political extremes, the importance of government support in his success, why the current state of affirmative action is failing and how a shift toward income-based support rather than race-based could help reform it and why government involvement in helping underprivileged kids is necessary.

Hey There Rubinites,

Hope you all are having a great week! Welcome to the tenth issue of The Rubin Recap! It’s crazy that we are already here! I’m excited to continue sharing facts, insights, and more while always hearing your thoughts on all things Rubin Report. Let’s get into it!

This Week on The Rubin Report: 

As if this month couldn’t get any crazier, it did. Biden has officially dropped out of the race and Kamala is up for the nomination. Hate to say I told you so but well…I told you so. As always, I made sure to stay on top of it, and shared my ideas on the whole debacle. Let’s get into it. 

On Monday, we started off by talking about new questions emerging after President Biden announced he would end his re-election campaign and how the media and Democrat elites like Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Alex Soros are already rallying around Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic nominee. I moved on to discuss, Elon Musk giving his brutal assessment of Kamala Harris, some flashbacks of Kamala Harris’ worst moments, including her disastrous interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt, where he called her out for lying about visiting the border during the migrant crisis, and the time that she was caught lying about Tupac and Snoop Dogg to “The Breakfast Club’s” Charlamagne tha God to appear cool. To end off our direct message for the day I referenced “The View’s” Sunny Hostin lecturing Joy Behar about why black voters will not tolerate anyone but Kamala Harris being the Democratic nominee and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. listed the numerous failures of Harris. After that, I dropped by my friend Megyn Kelly’s channel to discuss all of these topics and more before filming recorded footage for our new trailer. I also filmed an interview with NYU Professor Scott Galloway that will be posted next week so as always stay tuned!

On Tuesday, I began the daily DM by talking about Jordan Peterson’s controversial interview with Elon Musk for DailyWire+, in which Musk revealed never-before-shared details of his personal experience with gender-affirming care/puberty blockers and how his experience became the main motivating factor for his buying Twitter and taking on the “woke mind virus.” I moved on to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle being grilled by Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), and even progressive Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna (Calif.) for the complete failure to prevent the attempted assassination attempt of Donald Trump. I made sure to discuss how more questions are being asked about why Joe Biden has not been seen or photographed in public since stepping down from his re-election campaign and “The View’s” Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro putting a bizarre spin on Joe Biden’s stepping down as well as his record as president. I had to point out Jack Posobiec telling Tucker Carlson why recent events are proof that the Deep State has lost control of the narrative because of the invention of social media and Michael Malice explaining the NPC meme to Joe Rogan. To end the day, I referenced Elon Musk explaining to Jordan Peterson how the Democratic Party's support of DEI and a war on meritocracy has led him to support the Republican Party. Tuesday was a busy day because right after I recorded an interview with Roseanne Barr as well as pre-records for video game content and reaction content! COMING THIS AUGUST!

On Wednesday we talked about Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy’s scathing attack on the Democratic Party for pretending to be the party that can save democracy as Democrat elites appoint Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee while ignoring the will of Democrat voters. Then I made reference to Chuck Schumer being greeted by awkward silence as he tries to get the press excited for Kamala Harris. We moved on to Harris’ past appearance on “The View,” where Meghan McCain asked her if she supported the far-left policies of democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as well as Karine Jean-Pierre’s embarrassing avoiding of questions from “The View’s” Alyssa Farah Griffin about Joe Biden’s health. I made sure to mention the clip of Elon Musk tellingJordan Peterson his honest opinion on Donald Trump’s leadership. Lastly, we ended the direct message by discussing “The Circuit’s” Emily Chang being stunned by Mark Zuckerberg’s surprising comments about Donald Trump’s reaction to the assassination attempt on his life. I also made sure to record lots of off-the-grid content for this upcoming month so be sure to stay on the lookout! 

On Thursday, I discussed CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asking Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) to name one major accomplishment of Kamala Harris as well as the headlining news of Joe Biden finally speaking publicly about his decision to not seek re-election. We moved on to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre fumbling to explain why Joe Biden should stay in office until the end of his term. I pointed out the major news that Kamala Harris skipped Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress with Elon Musk and Douglas Murray attending instead. Of course we took a look at Rashida Tlaib using Netanyahu’s speech to push her insulting propaganda and pro-Palestine protesters removing an American flag at Washington, D.C., protests and burning it. Lastly we talked about, Conor McGregor blaming Ireland’s government for the wave of immigrant crime. I also did a special “ask me anything” question-and-answer session on a wide-ranging host of topics, answering questions from all of you here on Locals! To cap it all off I interviewed former Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy in a special release that will debut this August while I’m off the grid!

Get ready because this Friday we will be releasing our weekly roundtable featuring the one and only David Sacks! I can’t wait for you all to watch it.

This Week’s Sit Down Interviews: 

In my most recent Sit-Down I talked with The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles. The two of us discussed the anticipated disarray at the Democratic National Convention, Matt Walsh's tweet criticizing identity politics at the Republican National Convention, the importance of the convention's inclusive approach to gain broad support, the necessity of embracing diversity to win elections, how Trump's consistency and the varied coalition of supporters reflect the GOP's evolving strategy and so much more. I would like to note though, this was filmed before the craziness of the whole Biden dropping out debacle so note that!

Hey There Rubinites,

Hope you all are having a great week! Welcome to the ninth issue of The Rubin Recap! I’m excited to continue sharing facts, insights, and more while always hearing your thoughts on all things Rubin Report. Let’s get into it!

This Week on The Rubin Report: 

This week we returned back to our regular schedule, but the news was more chaotic than ever! Between the attempted assassination of former President Trump, The Republican National Convention, and continued calls for Biden to step down plus his getting COVID, things have been absolutely crazy and I’ve been here to cover it everyday. 

On Monday, I started the week off by talking about what we know thus far regarding the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. I made sure to highlight the BBC’s shocking interview with a witness to the assassination attempt who warned police after he saw Thomas Matthew Crooks climbing to a rooftop with a rifle. Then I had to mention the utter stupidity that came from the head of the Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle after she failed her job and continued to tell CBS News why it’s so important to have more diversity in the Secret Service. I went on to discuss the surprise official Trump endorsements from Elon Musk and Bill Ackman for Donald Trump. And of course we couldn’t end the day without acknowledging another Joe Biden flub only this time about the attack on Donald Trump’s life. 

On Tuesday, we continued strong by discussing Donald Trump’s official nomination of J.D. Vance for Vice President in the race to the white house. I talked about Vance telling Fox News’ Sean Hannity the unexpected thing that Donald Trump asked for after he notified him that he was his vice president pick and his telling Fox News’ Bret Baier the real reason he changed his mind about Trump after publicly denouncing him during the 2016 election. I moved on to discuss Tucker Carlson’s explanation of the lesser-known reason that he is extremely excited about Donald Trump making JD Vance his VP pick. I had to point out the insane moment on MSNBC where “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski threatened to quit after they weren’t allowed to do their show immediately following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Rounding off the show I made sure to discuss NBC News’ Lester Holt repeatedly questioning Joe Biden on whether his recent comment about putting Trump in a “bull's-eye” was the kind of political rhetoric that could help fuel political violence. But, personally my favorite moment of the day was when I made reference to Donald Trump Jr. putting an MSNBC reporter in his place after the reporter continued to spread lies about his dad. Lastly, I was featured on ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored’ where I talked with commentator and streamer Destiny, co-founder of The Young Turks, Cenk Uygur and Outkick host Charly Arnolt in an eye-wateringly contentious debate.

On Wednesday, I talked about my viral appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” where Destiny made some truly sociopathic remarks about the failed assassination of Donald Trump that made all panelists' jaws drop. I moved on to Elon Musk announcing that he will be moving the headquarters of X and SpaceX out of California in response to Gavin Newsom passing AB 1955, which bans schools from making rules requiring parental notification if a child identifies as transgender. I made sure to discuss Microsoft announcing that it is laying off its entire DEI division since diversity, equity, and inclusion are no longer “business critical” and Elon Musk telling Ben Shapiro why any program promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion should be a red flag to anyone who’s ever read George Orwell. I also highlighted the suspicious news that Democrats are rallying together to stop the virtual roll call that would nominate Joe Biden before the Democratic Convention. I had to end the DM by mentioning Vivek Ramaswamy standing ovation at the Republican Convention with his message for black voters, legal immigrants, and illegal immigrants! I want to know though, what has been your favorite speech on the RNC stage so far? Let me know in the comments!

On Thursday, I talked about Joe Biden dropping a clue in his NBC News Lester Holt interview that he may be about to drop out of the 2024 race and his perfectly timed COVID diagnosis. I moved on to ABC News’ Jonathan Karl revealing that both Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have turned on Biden and privately asked him to step down for the good of the Democratic Party. Then I took a good look at MSNBC’s Joy Reid comparing Joe Biden surviving COVID to Trump surviving an assassination attempt and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow being stunned into genuine silence when reading how much support for Joe Biden among black women voters has fallen along with so much more. I also did a special “ask me anything” question-and-answer session on a wide-ranging host of topics, answering questions from all of you here on Locals!

Get ready because this Friday, our roundtable will feature special guests Elizabeth Pipko and Arynne Wexler! I will also be releasing a pre-recorded interview with Michael Knowles! Stay tuned!

This Week’s Sit Down Interviews: 

In my most recent Sit-Down I talked with the one and only Bill Maher! First we began by discussing his career and personal life regrets, why he thinks there is no way that Joe Biden can be the Democratic nominee, why he wouldn’t vote for Trump under any circumstances, the dangers of extremism, his issues with Ron DeSantis, what Hollywood elites are really saying about Biden behind closed doors and whether he thinks Kamala Harris will get the nomination. We moved on to talk about his fear of ever being a called a hypocrite, why he is upfront about flying private planes despite his concerns about climate change, the environmental impact of having children, how he agrees with conservatives on certain criticism of Ilhan Omar, the importance of prioritizing American interests and so much more.
