All right. Hi, everybody. It is September 11th, 2023. I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin

Report. We are live streaming on Rumble, YouTube and locals. You may have noticed we did

that are on social media or if you're watching cable news today. They show the planes

one moment, and I think it was probably the moment that America, in many ways, at least

related to 9-11, related to that period of time in American history, when we actually

peaked because this was the World Series. This was President George W. Bush throwing out

the first pitch of Game 3 of the 2001 World Series, which, as you may remember, the World
