Summary

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Winston Marshall and Sean Spicer about CNN's Abby Phillip getting uncomfortable as Batya Ungar-Sargon calmly debunks the entire "war Crimes" narrative concerning Pete Hegseth's orders regarding a second strike on a Venezuelan drug boat with a series of facts that Democrats would like to continue to ignore; Jesse Watters and Stephen Miller getting a huge laugh as ABC News' host of "This Week" Martha Raddatz reveals new details of the drug boat strike that backs up Pete Hegseth and the Trump administration's version of events; a resurfaced clip of Joe Biden from 1989 that is going viral where he pushed for more aggressive tactics to fight narco terrorists in the war on drugs; Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's pathetic response to getting grilled about his lack of concern of the shocking amount of teenage shootings occurring in the downtown Chicago area; Donald Trump's brutally honest response to being told that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is proud of the Minnesota Somali community after allegations of massive fraud against the state;a CNN host by New Orleans City Councilwoman Lesli Harris refusing to accept any help from ICE to handle violent criminals who target minors; and much more.

0:00.0	All right, ladles and jelly spoons.
0:10.0	I'm Dave Rubin.
0:10.9	This is the Rubin reported is Friday, December 5th, which means it's time for another Friday roundtable extravaganza.
0:16.4	And joining me are two Rubin Report returning All-Stars, host of the Sean Spicer Show, Sean Spicer, and host of the Winston Marshall Show. Winston Marshall, it would have been odd, I suppose, if Winston had been the host of the Sean Spicer show, and, well, you get it. Gentlemen, how are you? I'm great. I feel underdressed. Look at how well, Winston, and he always is, but I, at least, at least, you know,
0:40.2	ah, wow. God, that made me feel so much better.
0:47.4	Spicer, am I going to ask you to stand up, or it's probably best? I didn't know that we had to

0:54.6	Yeah, I would imagine when you had your rather brief stint as White House press secretary,

1:39.4	And nonetheless, I consider you two sort of, you know, wise political pundits.
1:45.8	That may be my mistake.
1:46.9	So let's dive right in.
1:47.8	We're just going to catch up on some of the craziness of the weekend.
1:49.8	Obviously, the big sort of international story, although it really has a lot of domestic touch
