People. Hey, you try to look at Barack. That is one of the most cogent things Joe Biden has done.... Hello, hello, I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin Report. It's April 16th, 2026. We are live streaming on Rumble, on locals, on YouTube. We put the podcast in all sorts of places. And as many of you know, |
| 0:56.1 | we now have our 10 minute morning preview, everything you need to know, just straight up news |
| 1:03.1 | directly from me. It's simple, low friction. It's in your podcast feed. So if you're listening |
| 1:10.5 | on Spotify or Apple podcast, it's already there. It's in your podcast feed. So if you're listening on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, it's already there. |
| 1:13.8 | It's in your YouTube feed and your Rumble feed and it's on locals already. |
| 1:17.4 | You know, for YouTube particularly, particularly because we're posting this at 4.45 a.m., |
| 1:22.3 | it may not be hitting your feed because they're watching your behaviors. |
| 1:25.9 | And obviously most people aren't awake at 4.45 a.m. Eastern times so you got to click it a couple times and then eventually it'll |
| 1:32.5 | start hitting your feed even unfortunately we've been dealing with this for years but |
| 1:36.5 | when it comes to YouTube even if you subscribe and you tap that notification bell and do all |
| 1:41.7 | you jump through all the hoops and everything else they still have a way of |
| 1:45.2 | not giving you exactly what you want but I'm really glad to see I we're getting a lot of feedback on it |
| 1:50.2 | and I'm just glad to see people are really really enjoying just kind of like a simple bite of something as you |
| 1:56.3 | have your cup of coffee or walk your dog before we get into the big hour here and then you're just inundated |
| 2:01.5 | with news throughout the day. I would say this program today is a standard old-fashioned |

| 2:29.3 | we're about day 40 into the war, which is on temporary hiatus as we had a ceasefire agreement, well, we didn't have an agreement, we had a ceasefire, we had a meeting about a ceasefire. We had a couple pieces of paper in a meeting about a ceasefire in Pakistan did not go that well, and then subsequently, we clearly, I mean it's just obvious to me, although the panicans seem unable to see it, that Trump had a plan if the ceasefire didn't go well, and the plan was, okay, we're just going to blockade the strait of Hormuz, and if Iran can't export oil, they will lose literally billions and billions of dollars every month, and eventually they won't be able to pay whoever's left in their military or anything else and |
