All right, ladles and jelly spoons. It's June 26, 2026. That's right. Dave Rubin is 50 years old today. I know I don't look a day over 32. Happy birthday to me, but more importantly than

that, joining me for this Friday roundtable extravaganza are two old friends, Sarah Gonzalez of Sarah

Gonzalez Unfiltered, and the host of Before the Noise, my old friend Chad Prather. Chad, Sarah,

how are you? I'd be better if you didn't

emphasize the old when you introduced me. Well, I don't know. You notice she's the only one that

caught that. Like, I felt good about that. I'm just happy to be here. Like, I was going to say,

you're 50 years young, Dave, not 50 years old. Yes, 50 years young. And when I say

old friend, what I mostly mean is not really about age. It's that you guys are on the, what I keep

calling the ever shorter list of people who are sane. So it's not even that you guys are such

old friends as much as you're just on the short list of sane people because we've watched so many people go insane. Does that feel a little better, Sarah? Yes, yes. And I'd like to stay there on that list. And, you know, you guys used to be colleagues at the blaze. Chad, you're not at the blaze anymore. Are you guys enemies in any way? Do I have to address any of that? Or you guys are good? No, we're still on speaking terms. We just don't do it. Yeah, he's... We're still on speaking terms. Yeah. All right. Well, let's get cracking. There's obviously a lot to talk about. And this was just a very weird week for the country. I mean, this... I do not call it Democrat socialism. I stopped calling it

that years ago and I said that they were going to stop calling it. Now it's socialism. It really is

communism. There's some Marxism. There's a little jihadism. It's just all of the worst isms

mixed up into one thing. And of course, the omni cause for all of this is the obsession, endless obsession with Israel.

So here is Zoharhan Mamdami telling Chris Hayes that Dan Goldman, who was marginal lefty,

nothing great, but he got crushed by Brad Lander, who is just the most pathetic dimmy

douchebag I've ever seen. Oh, you guys also should know, I'm in a lot of pain because of the shoulder, so there's going to be some choice language on this show today. Here it is, it's all about Israel for these people. This was really about Israel, and it was motivated by people's feelings about Israel, and I think the pro-Israel folks would say, you know, their anger, their rage.

Some even say it's anti-Semitism. I don't necessarily sign on to that. But do you think it was,

like fundamentally, is that what it was, about the people and the Democratic Party supporting fundamentally

or not doing enough to oppose the actions of the Israeli government over the last several years and

continuing actions in Gaza?

I think that that played a major role.

And it played a major role because New Yorkers have had to watch as tens of billions of our tax dollars have been spent on bombs
