The Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report goes through the highlights from the first Joe Biden speech before Congress. In the battle for the soul of the nation, President Biden lays out all the progressive proposals that have the potential to massively grow the size of the federal government. While Biden is turning out to be more progressive than previously thought, it's not enough for some. At the Biden Georgia rally, Joe's speech was continually disrupted by progressive protesters demanding that he abolish ICE and focus on "communities not cages." Dave also does a special "ask me anything" question-and-answer session on a wide-ranging host of topics, answering questions from the Rubin Report Locals community. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Paul Rossi, a whistleblower and math teacher at Grace Church School, about the NYC private school's anti-racism curriculum that led him to publish "I Refuse to Stand By While My Students Are Indoctrinated" on the Substack of Bari Weiss. Paul describes how critical race theory in education has had damaging effects on his students by making them feel guilt and shame over their alleged "white privilege." He also describes the incident that made him decide to speak up and put his job at risk. He also shares the recorded audio of George Davison, the head of school, acknowledging the damage that the anti-racism program was doing to the students. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks about Joe Biden press secretary Jen Psaki's shameless pandering to the press, the George Floyd memorial's rules for white people, why Biden's plan to raise the federal minimum wage will hurt the poor, and finally how COVID rates in Florida and Texas continue to go lower than pro-lockdown states. Dave shares a list of the rules for white people when they visit George Floyd Square. The goal of racial justice apparently requires different rules for different races. Chipotle CFO Jack Hartung announced that if the national minimum wage is raised to $15 an hour, there will be a 2%- 3% increase in menu prices. While many champion an increase, few acknowledge that the poor will bear the brunt of the cost. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Andrew describes how stimulus money ended up increasing unemployment, since his workers could make more money by not working. Andrew debunks the lies that restaurants are a major source of COVID transmission. Andrew shares how he has faced retribution from health inspectors and OSHA since he went public with his criticisms of bad policies. He also discusses how he has raised over $400K in donations to help unemployed food workers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Bjorn Lomborg, Alex Epstein, and Benji Backer about the Green New Deal. They discuss why it is poorly designed environmental policy and won't deliver on the promise of green jobs. The green economy is another utopia being pushed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Senator Ed Markey, and progressive Democrats that won't solve climate change. Instead, our guests argue that various plans to replace fossil fuels with inefficient and expensive renewable energy could actually make life worse for the poorest among us. They will also discuss how unrelated issues like racial justice have been packaged into climate policy and the importance of separating politics from science. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks about Biden press secretary Jen Psaki's comments on the Columbus police shooting of Ma'Khia Bryant. Bodycam footage shows the 16-year-old about to stab another person when a police officer shoots her. When asked about the shooting, Psaki blamed racism and said that more legislation is needed to address systemic racism in police departments. Dave also discusses LeBron James' deleted tweet that doxxed the police officer involved and how NBC selectively edited its reporting to obscure that Ma'Khia Bryant was about to use a knife. Dave also does a special "ask me anything" question-and-answer session on a wide-ranging host of topics, answering questions from the Rubin Report Locals community. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks about reactions to the Derek Chauvin verdict in the George Floyd murder trial. Joe Biden's comments after the Chauvin trial reveal the desire of Democrats to exploit George Floyd's death for political purposes. Nancy Pelosi made a truly bizarre comment where she thanked George Floyd for "sacrificing your life for justice." AOC responds by connecting the Derek Chauvin trial to universal health care. Meanwhile, a guilty verdict was not enough to stop some protesters from violence and rioting. All through this, the media has pushed the lies about the rates of police violence. This leads to insane calls to defund the police, even while crime is skyrocketing across American cities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks about Maxine Waters inciting violence, the Ontario lockdown turning into a dystopian police state, and Dr. Fauci trying to justify COVID restrictions for people even after they get the COVID vaccine. Over the weekend, Maxine Waters traveled to Brooklyn Center to support Black Lives Matter protesters protesting the death of Daunte Wright and said what should happen if the Chauvin trial doesn't end with guilty verdicts. Dave shares footage of some BLM riots that Maxine thinks aren't confrontational enough. In COVID news, Oregon is considering an indefinite mask mandate, while Ontario Premier Doug Ford issued a stay-at-home order so insane that Canadian police refused to enforce it.

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Nick Gillespie, editor at large for Reason, about his appearance on Bill Maher where Gina Carano was defamed, the inevitable end of the government spending under Joe Biden, and the easiest way to turn a Democrat into a libertarian. First he discusses how slander has become a normal part of the public discourse. Nick warns about the danger that Joe Biden's fiscal policy puts us in. How much can government spending rise before a market crash brings us back to reality? Despite the government's parade of failures during the pandemic, people seem to desire even more big government by supporting ideas like vaccine passports. Nick reveals the quickest way to make any centrist flip and become a libertarian. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
