Hey There Rubinites,

Hope you all are having a great week! Welcome to the twenty-first issue of The Rubin Recap! I’m thrilled 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: 

On Monday, I covered Bill Maher’s brutal takedown of Democrats on Real Time with Bill Maher, sparking an intense reaction from his audience as he called them out for losing to Trump. ABC News’ Sarah Isgur added to the conversation, pointing out that the liberal elite’s reaction proves they haven’t learned much since the last election. Over on Morning Joe, Axios’ Jim VandeHei shared why mainstream media isn’t as relevant as legacy hosts think, highlighting how Joe Rogan’s podcast and Elon Musk’s X are becoming more powerful platforms. I discussed Van Jones telling CNN that Democrats were outplayed by Republicans’ strategic use of podcasts and influencers to reach more voters, a reality that left some on the left feeling blindsided. Meanwhile, Megyn Kelly gave a sharp critique of failed celebrity endorsements from Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, and Oprah Winfrey, pointing out that star power isn’t moving the needle as expected. And to wrap up, I shared Argentina’s Javier Milei’s thoughts on politicians obsessed with approval ratings rather than actual results.

On Tuesday, I jumped into Elon Musk’s fiery response to Sam Harris’ meltdown over Trump’s win on the Making Sense podcast. Sam Harris didn’t hold back, taking aim at Joe Rogan for letting comedians like Dave Smith discuss foreign policy on his show. Trump’s new border czar, Tom Homan, addressed criticisms head-on from The View’s Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro, defending his approach to border security. Over on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart admitted he was wrong about the election, while former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau shared surprising internal polling data from Biden’s camp on Pod Save America. I also highlighted Joe Rogan and Theo Von’s reactions to Trump’s election night win, which they discussed on Rogan’s podcast.

On Wednesday, things got heated as CNN’s Abby Phillip had to intervene when Jay Michaelson had an outburst at Shermichael Singleton over Americans’ lack of support for trans athletes in women’s sports. Dana Bash on CNN attempted to catch James Blair in a “gotcha” moment about Trump’s campaign ad on trans rights, but it didn’t go as planned. Morning Joe hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough finally acknowledged that “woke” politics might be hurting the Democratic Party’s appeal to Black and Latino voters. I discussed Comcast’s plans to sell MSNBC as mainstream media continues its struggles, while CNN is reportedly preparing for major layoffs. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy were officially tapped to lead the DOGE initiative, aimed at reducing government waste, and Pete Hegseth, now Secretary of Defense, talked on Shawn Ryan’s show about strategies for purging CRT and DEI from the U.S. military. I rounded off the day with a special Q&A on The Rubin Report Locals community, taking questions on a range of topics from fans.

On Thursday, I joined Megyn Kelly to break down her accurate election predictions, discuss Kamala Harris’ challenges that the mainstream media isn’t addressing, and explore why the freedom to talk about controversial topics is drawing audiences away from traditional outlets. We dove into whether MSNBC’s Joy Reid or The View’s Sunny Hostin has stirred more controversy, and speculated on Elon Musk’s potential future in the Trump administration. I also joined Piers Morgan Uncensored featuring David Pakman, Brian-Tyler Cohen, Ben Ferguson, Brianna Wu, and Lindy Li. To finish it all up, I headed to Phoenix to join Jordan Peterson for his 500th episode—big congrats to Jordan!

Get ready because today we have an incredible roundtable discussion featuring the one and only Michael Knowles and Gad Saad!

Hey There Rubinites,

Hope you all are having a great week! Welcome to the twentieth and most EXCITING issue of The Rubin Recap yet! I’m thrilled 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: 

We finally did it. Donald J. Trump has been re-elected as the 47th president of the United States. If you happened to be under a rock this week and have absolutely no idea what happened don’t worry, as always I’ve still got you covered. Get ready for the best edition yet!

On Monday we had an insane show from start to finish. For this special edition of The Rubin Report I talked with co-hosts Dr. Phil, Glenn Beck, and Governor Ron DeSantis. We started off by discussing Joe Rogan getting John Fetterman to admit that the migrant crisis might help Democrats consolidate power in swing states by moving migrants to where Democratic voters are needed and Elon Musk pointing out how early polling in the swing state of Pennsylvania is showing promising signs of a Trump victory. Moving on we shared our thoughts on Ben Shapiro getting “Club Random” host Bill Maher to admit what he may have gotten wrong about Kamala Harris and JD Vance explaining to Joe Rogan how most politics has become focused on fake stories and distractions and Karoline Leavitt telling ABC News’ Elizabeth Schulze why Democrats have exposed themselves as hypocrites for continuing to condemn Donald Trump for divisive rhetoric. Lastly we ended the day off by discussing Kristen Welker being shocked by pollster Steve Kornacki revealing how voters are realizing how much better their lives were under a Trump presidency compared to a Joe Biden one.

Tuesday was the big day and it did not disappoint. We started the day off with an episode of the The Rubin Report where we talked about Joe Rogan finally sharing who he’s endorsing for president after posting his interview with Elon Musk and his discussing how most people have lost every shred of trust in mainstream media because of the countless lies they’ve been told about Donald Trump. I also discussed Elon Musk sharing how self-driving autonomous vehicles like Tesla’s new Cybercab could change mass transportation and the layout of cities as we currently know them and Ben Shapiro explaining to the hosts of the "Full Send Podcast" how an error by the U.S. census during the last population count could bring about a worst-case scenario in the counting of Electoral College points and force the Supreme Court to decide the winner of the election. I had to end the day off with my reaction to Megyn Kelly’s savage attack on Mark Cuban at a Trump rally.

Tuesday evening was a wild ride as I co-hosted the biggest election night live stream featuring Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro, Russell Brand, Bret Weinstein, Jordan Peterson, Adam Carolla, Dr. Phil, Glenn Beck, Clay Travis, Tom Bilyeu, Dr. Drew, Sage Steele, and many more as we provided real-time analysis and reaction to the 2024 election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. 

Wednesday was all about Donald Trump’s stunning comeback victory as we analyzed everything from the UFC’s Dana White’s speech bringing Trump supporters to their feet and Elon Musk’s hilarious first tweet after Trump’s definitive victory. Some of the other post-election day topics discussed included, CNN’s Scott Jennings giving Anderson Cooper and Van Jones a hard wake-up call about the death of mainstream media’s influence on American voters, Elon Musk explaining to Tucker Carlson how Trump’s appearances on alternative media podcasts like Lex Fridman and Joe Rogan's helped him secure the popular vote, Ben Shapiro explaining what’s probably going through Joe Biden’s head right now, “Shark Tank’s” Kevin O’Leary explaining to Fox News how the Democratic Party can now be free to rebuild itself away from the influence of Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama and so much more. 

There’s nothing better than watching the radical left have a nervous breakdown after an event like this, so of course our first stop on Thursday was “The View.” I started the day of by talking about Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Joy Behar having a truly historic meltdown live on the air as they come to terms with Donald Trump’s landslide victory and Alyssa Farah Griffin pushing back on Sunny Hostin’s insulting attack on “uneducated white women.” The leftist media analysis continued with “Morning Joe’s” Joe Scarborough and Al Sharpton sounding like bigots as they call black men sexist and Latino men racist for not voting for a black woman. I moved on to Ben Shapiro sharing data that should scare Democrats about how America is turning more conservative and Mark Halperin explaining to Tucker Carlson why Trump’s victory is likely to lead to a mental health crisis unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

On Friday we had an exclusive Q & A where I answered all your questions here on Locals!

This Week’s Sit Down Interviews: 

This week I released my exclusive sit-down interview with Jillian Michaels where we discussed her transition from fitness to political discussions, her wake-up call about the politicization of health and how it pulled her into the political space, her first timer voting for Trump feeling alienated from her liberal peers due to her views, her evolving perspective on mainstream narratives, her comparison of “coming out” politically to coming out as bisexual decades ago, her frustration with corporate and political elites, including billionaires like George Soros and Bill Gates and so much more!

Dave’s Fave’s and Insights:

What better way to end off the week then by saying how happy and relieved I am that sanity is once again returning to America. With Trump as our president I know the country will go in the right direction once again. 

Weekly Motivation:

For this week’s motivation, I thought we’d do something a little different in honor of the election and the next four years ahead. Check out this video:

Hey There Rubinites,

Hope you all are having a great week! Welcome to the nineteenth 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: 

Happy Halloweekend everyone 🎃! But before we do anything, let me give a brief recap of last week’s events. To start I joined Uncensored with Piers Morgan featuring Lary Elder, David Pakman and Democratic Strategist Ameshia Cross. Then I talked with Tudor Dixon before flying to New York City where I joined Jesse Watters primetime, Gutfeld, One Nation, Larry Kuldow. I ended it all off by joining a Trump Rally. It was absolutely electrifying.

This week was busy as usual, as election week is just a few days away! On Monday I talked about Joe Rogan’s interview with Donald Trump, where they discussed why voters no longer have any trust in the media and Trump’s past appearance on “The View,” where he was treated quite differently by Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar. I moved onto Trump’s massive rally at Madison Square Garden with Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Dr. Phil before giving my thoughts on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Tim Walz’s reactions to the rally and the off-color jokes of Tony Hinchcliffe. I also discussed Megyn Kelly having a tense exchange with Bill Maher on “Real Time with Bill Maher” over illegal immigration and why she is going to vote for Donald Trump as well as JD Vance getting into a tense exchange with CNN’s Jake Tapper over Russiagate and CNN’s blatant bias in favor of the Kamala Harris campaign. Lastly I ended the day off with CNN’s Anderson Cooper trashing the liberal bias of MSNBC to Charlamagne tha God.

On Tuesday, I discussed Byron Donalds calling out “Squawk Box” Andrew Ross Sorkin for claiming that Kamala Harris doesn’t engage in hateful rhetoric about Donald Trump and “The Daily Show’s” Jon Stewart going against the mainstream media narrative that Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally was racist and admitting he finds Tony Hinchcliffe quite funny. I shared my thoughts on  “Morning Joe’s” Mika Brzezinski having a complete breakdown on the air over Donald Trump’s MSG rally in front of Whoopi Goldberg and Ana Navarro and Van Jones telling Bill Maher that black men are insane to vote for Donald Trump due to his support of Agenda 47, which will be harsher to criminals. I also referenced that clip of Kamala Harris struggling to get through a rally speech while protesters booed before moving onto Zachary Levi telling Megyn Kelly that the real reason to support Donald Trump is that he is being backed up by people like Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, and Elon Musk. I ended the day off with Jeff Bezos announcing an end to the “woke” era of the Washington Post.

On Wednesday, I began by referring to Joe Biden harming Kamala Harris’ chance of winning the 2024 election by calling Trump supporters “garbage” in a bizarre repeat of Hillary Clinton’s infamous “deplorables” comment and Democrat Josh Shapiro telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins why he would never insult Trump voters like Joe Biden. I moved onto CNN’s Franklin Leonard trying to convince Scott Jennings that Biden was misunderstood because of his stutter and Trump’s unexpected response to being told about Joe Biden’s “garbage” comments by Marco Rubio live at a rally. I also talked about CNN’s Harry Enten showing how current polling is showing data that could tip the election in favor of Republicans and give Donald Trump a win in the popular vote as well as the Electoral College.

On Thursday, I went live with a very special co-host, Hollywood actor Zachary Levi. We talked about so many things including, Donald Trump’s brilliant and epic response to Joe Biden calling Trump supporters garbage by holding a press conference in a garbage truck while wearing sanitation worker gear, NFL football legend Brett Favre speaking at Trump’s Green Bay rally and responding directly to Biden’s insult of Americans voting for Trump, “Shark Tank’s” Kevin O’Leary explaining to Fox News why Elon Musk might be the most qualified person to tackle government waste and wasteful government spending, Jillian Michaels trying to convince Bill Maher of Dave Rubin and Megyn Kelly’s election prediction, why he knows so many of Hollywood’s closeted Trump voters and so much more! 

Today I will be having my weekly roundtable featuring guests Representative Chip Roy and Representative Jim Jordan! Be sure to join us here.

This Week’s Sit Down Interviews: 

This week I released my sit-down interview with Calley Means where we talked about his background as a former lobbyist in the food and pharmaceutical industries, how the U.S. healthcare system profits off of worsening public health, how pharmaceutical companies influence medical education and policy, the impact of processed foods on American health, especially due to chemicals banned in Europe, the role of independent media in exposing corporate and institutional corruption,  how these systemic issues fuel populist movements in politics and so much more!

Get ready because next week I will be releasing my sit-down with Jillian Michaels. Keep on the lookout!

Looking Ahead:

Next week I will be doing a special election coverage edition of The Rubin Report. More information to come out soon so stay tuned via our website, youtube and socials!

Weekly Motivation:

Let’s end the week off with some motivation:

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not our inheritance, it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.” - Ronald Reagan
