Hey, I'm Ben Shapiro and welcome to a very special edition of the Rubin Report, one

you replacing another.

Join me today on his new set after 34 glorious days off the grid as the host of the Rubin

Report.

Dave Rubin, welcome back and I'm sorry, dude.

Shapiro, I feel like I'm in the twilight zone right now.

Truly, I really do.

I mean, first of all, your hosting my show.

We're on a new set here, new chairs, new carpet, new table, new art, new everything.

I have no, I genuinely, genuinely, genuinely.

I have no idea what's going on in the world since August 1st.

I know one thing that I found out two days ago because my dad could not control himself

in an idiotic phone call.

So I know one thing I suspect it's a pretty big thing that has happened.

I know you have a list of things.

I have a list of 20 things here.

20 things that you missed during the last month because as we all know, one month of time

in Trump world is actually seven years of regular time.

So, but let's talk first about what it was like to actually be off the grid for 34 days.

I do it like once a week, but you did it for 34 straight days, which has got to be

both wonderful and also now you have to feel like you just jumped directly into a cesspool

of crap.
