Hey guys, it's me Alex. I'm with my wife and her boyfriend, Don Terris. We just found out we're pregnant. Don Terris is the father and we're here to do the gender reveal. So, twisted honey.

Let me see baby's done binary!

We are...

I'm Dave Rubin and joining me today is the host of Primetime with Alex Stein on Blaze TV.

Alex Stein, welcome to the Rubin Report. I don't know why I'm talking like this.

0:40.0

Well, no, because it's Primetime.9, you want to have the high energy levels because I got to go insane for the Ukraine Dave.

0:45.0

So, this is why we are going to go for your audience. This is Primetime.9, I need you to watch this show. There's like a million people watching this. I'm begging you please.

0:52.0

So, let's get on with this interview before I go insane for the Ukraine too much.

Stein, you are on the short list of people I consider funny. I used to have a lot of people I consider funny. Now, there's very few of them for people that don't know you had you become funny.

All anything that's funny has truth in it. So you just mock the true status quo that they're trying to ingratiate and trying to make us all follow.

1:46.0

You just put a mirror up to the absurdity like Dylan Mulvaney and people will laugh.
