Previously on the Rubin. 50s say it's three times 50, 65s. Living life to the fullest, getting drunk and getting laid. They're not getting late either though. That has obviously been drinking already. In the AOC's district, it's riddled with migrant gangs, prostitution. Tell me AOC's work in the corner over there. over there? How you doing, people? It is Monday, March 30th, 2026. Happy 48th birthday to my brother, Jonathan. This is the Rubin Report. I'm Dave Rubin. Share, subscribe, tap that notification bell. We got a jam-packed

show for you. On this Monday, we're going to do some more updates, some DHS shutdown updates,

a little bit of racist Democrat stuff, some J.D. Vance clips, because he did an interview

with Benny Johnson and he's been making the rounds, he's going to lead this sort of anti-fraud task force that the White House is putting out there. And then we've got some Elon stuff and a black and white clip to end the program. We're going old school today. But let's just dive right in. A little war update for you, this from the BBC. Donald Trump, Donald Trump, we already lost 0.2 points.

The best I can do is a 97 today. Donald Trump threatens to obliterate Iran's power plants and

oil wells if a deal is not reached shortly. Trump says the U.S. is in serious discussions with the new

and more reasonable regime in Iran, but warns if a ceasefire

is not agreed, the U.S. will hit sites that has purposely not yet touched. He also repeats his

threats against the major fuel hub of Karg Island. Meanwhile, the price of oil hits $115,

while new attacks are reported in Iran, Lebanon, and Israel. So as I mentioned last week, you know,

one of the strange things about negotiating at the moment

is so much of Iran's military and political leadership

has been decimated.

It's like, who are we negotiating with?

It's a little unclear to me, and you should be doing some Googling

or some grokin yourself and see if you can figure it out. But it sounds like there was sort of the original layer of the Iranian people, you know, the Ayatollah and the Mullahs, they're all gone. Then there was this sort of secondary layer of people. They're pretty much all gone. And now we're at the third layer. I don't know how many layers deep Trump is willing to go to

figure out who we can negotiate with, but it does sound like whoever we're talking to right now

that can speak for the regime is at least a little more willing to play ball with us. I guess

you realize that when you look around and you go, boy, all my friends are dead. The office is blown up, I better talk to this guy and maybe we can make a deal here, and Donald Trump is known to make deals. One of the criticisms of Trump throughout this, and I don't think it's been a legitimate criticism, but one thing that I've seen certainly from the left and a little bit from what people call the woke right is that the objectives

of the war have not been made clear, even though I think Marco Heggseth and Trump from

day one, nukes, ballistic missiles, etc., etc. I think it's been pretty damn clear. However,

here was Marco Rubio on one of the Sunday shows, explaining once again what the objectives are.
