Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Michael Malice about the rise of Zohran Mamdani, democratic socialism, and what it means for the future of the Democratic Party; why John Fetterman has become one of the few Democrats willing to challenge his own party; whether Republicans and Donald Trump have an effective strategy to counter the growing influence of the far left; Tucker Carlson's break with the Republican Party over foreign policy; why Republicans focusing on facts as a strategy to win over voters will fail them and what they need to do instead; whether Generation X failed to shape American politics while Baby Boomers and younger progressives took over; if Americans will always be trapped in political conflict; the psychological effects of online culture, polarization, and doomscrolling; why America remains the greatest country in the world despite growing political dysfunction; and much more.

| 0:00.0 | There is this rise of explicit socialism reclaiming that term on the left, which has been for a long time and with obvious good reason, a very dirty word. |
| 0:12.5 | But I can understand the psychology, because if you're being told every single day that Donald Trump is this Hitler figure, he's the worst |
| 0:22.1 | thing to happen to America, including slavery, and then you lose with the Kamala corporate pack |
| 0:28.4 | party person, it's like, guys, we got to double down, we got to fight because otherwise, |
| 0:34.4 | you know, in their mindset, you know, another term of Trump or Trump Jr. |
| 0:38.8 | Would destroy America. So it's kind of, we're at a point where both political tribes generally think, maybe not incorrectly, that one more term of the opposing team is going to be the end of this country as we know it. |
| 0:52.1 | They might be both wrong. They might be both right. |
| 0:54.4 | But that's a scary place to be when you have this level of animus because things can |
| 1:00.3 | quickly spiral out of control both in a legal sense and in an extra legal sense. |
| 1:14.8 | All right, it's June 29th, 2026. |
| 1:16.6 | I'm Dave Rubin. |
| 1:27.6 | This is The Rubin Report, and I am joined by my old friend, host of your welcome, Michael Malice, the Willy Wonka of politics. |
| 1:30.0 | That really should be the name of your show, |
| 1:33.1 | or it should be on your epitaph or something. |
| 1:35.9 | Well, okay, first of all, I am an old friend, |
| 1:38.7 | because we're both turning 50 imminently. |
| 1:40.9 | Let's not talk about epitaphs as we look at 50 years old, babe. |
| 1:43.8 | I think that word is creeping in a little |
| 1:45.9 | too soon to both of our consciousnesses. Fair enough, fair enough. So we are, this is airing on |
| 1:52.1 | Monday the 11th, Monday the 29th at 11 a.m. People know that it's a pre-record because |
| 1:59.3 | I am actually in D.C. right now, I went to see, or I'm going to see as we tape this, depending on which side of the time. Continuing we're on, I'm going to see Bill Maher get the Kennedy Center Award, which I'm very excited about. But I did not realize that you also, I just turned 50 on the 26th. You are turning 50. What did you tell me on July 11th? Is that what you said? July 12th, the day Hamilton died, yes. |
| 2:17.8 | July just turned 50 on the 26th. You are turning 50. What did you tell me on July 11th? Is that what you said? July 12th, the day Hamilton died, yes. July 12th. So we are of a certain age. We are Gen Xers. |
