Black

0:02

people, the insurrection, racism. What

0:06

up, yo, I'm Dave Rubin. This

0:08

is the Rubin Report. It's November 8th, 2023.

0:11

We're live streaming on Rumble Locals and YouTube.

0:14

We did not get kicked off YouTube

0:16

yesterday. Very exciting. If you

0:18

haven't subscribed, wherever you watch, please

0:20

do. So you have at least a fighting chance to

0:23

get a little bit of a kick out of it. I'm

0:25

Dave Rubin, and I'll see you next time. And

0:30

if you haven't subscribed, you have a fighting chance

0:32

of getting our videos. As always, there's a post-game show at

0:34

rubinreport.locals.com. And in case

0:36

you're wondering what that very quick cold open was, that

0:38

was Representative Congresswoman Cori Bush, who

0:42

is a member of the

0:44

Hamas caucus. And yesterday, Rashida

0:46

Tlaib, who

0:48

I would say is the leader of the Hamas caucus. Well,

0:50

I would say she's the most committed to the cause.

0:53

AOC is probably the leader. She's

0:55

like the Cobra commander of the Hamas caucus. She's

0:59

doing a lot of the dirty work. So she's more of the

1:01

destro of the thing. If you guys can join me on a

1:03

little GI Joe metaphor.

1:07

Anyway, Rashida was censured yesterday

1:09

by Congress. Yes, something actually

1:12

good happened. It is my belief

1:14

that Rashida Tlaib is a Hamas supporter.

1:17

She is a terrorist sympathizer. I

1:19

don't think she likes America. I

1:21

think she would gladly undo America, just like

1:23

AOC and Cori Bush and Ilhan

1:26

Omar and the rest of them. So that's

1:28

what we're gonna start with today, the censure of

1:30

Rashida Tlaib and why she got censured

1:33

and why it's actually good that she got censured

1:35

and what it actually means. And

1:37

then of course, we'll show you some of the hysterics

1:39

that happened on the House floor, Cori

1:42

Bush and others when it did happen. And

1:44

then in about 15 minutes from now, yesterday

1:47

I mentioned that Jim Jordan

1:49

had this bombshell yesterday

1:51

or two days ago, actually, that

1:54

government has been colluding with big tech

1:56

to censor all sorts of people. Now, we've known

1:58

this to certain degrees.

1:59

shock

4:00

technology. It's like a mini trampoline

4:02

in your shoes. Whether you're strolling through the park, running

4:05

errands, or even just lounging at home, these

4:07

shoes have got your back, well I should

4:09

4:44

now back to me. So yes,

4:46

a good day in Congress.

4:49

Congress actually did something

4:51

for the American people. They

4:53

voted to censure Rashida

4:56

Tlaib. And as long as I live in this country

4:58

with my ability to tell you what I

5:01

think and get out there and

5:03

fight for what I believe in, I have no problem telling

5:05

you that I believe she is a Hamas supporter.

5:07

I believe she believes that terrorism

5:10

is a legitimate means to get

5:12

whatever ends that she wants. I think she would

5:14

gladly import all of that stuff here.

5:16

I don't think she likes the United States

5:18

of America. I think she's bad

5:21

news. Am I being clear about what I think about this woman?

5:23

We kind of got it. Anyway, you

5:25

might be saying, Dave, that's a little bit overboard. I

5:27

mean, she's not so bad, is she? Well,

5:30

there was a series of things that have happened, a series

5:32

of tweets and videos

5:35

that she has posted since the horrific

5:37

attacks in Israel on October 7th that

5:40

got her into hot water. But the one that seems

5:42

to have pushed it over the edge that led to the censure

5:44

vote was this one directly

5:47

going after Biden. Well,

5:49

just take a look.

5:50

We stand with Israel.

6:05

e I

6:30

wish I could tell you

6:34

something different. I

6:39

wish that that wasn't going to happen,

6:47

but it is going to happen. I

6:49

want to thank President Biden for his unequivocal

6:51

support.

7:00

We will remember in 2024.

7:19

All right, so she's basically threatening the President

7:21

of the United States. My pen almost ran out of

7:23

ink as I was writing down all of the nonsense

7:26

in there. But before I share my opinions

7:28

on this, why don't I share a bit from the House

7:30

of Representatives who explained

7:32

in a letter, explained why they were censuring her

7:35

in the first place, her use of

7:37

the word resistance in her statement

7:39

on the Hamas attack, where she argued

7:41

that the suffocating, dehumanizing

7:43

conditions in the Palestinian territories

7:46

could lead to resistance. Her

7:48

claim that Israel bombed a hospital in

7:50

Gaza despite contradictory evidence.

7:53

She later acknowledged that the Gaza Health Ministry's

7:55

claims were in doubt and called for an independent

7:57

investigation. Her use of the slogan from

8:00

the River to the Sea, a slogan that many

8:02

view as anti-Semitic, but it is viewed

8:04

as a call for freedom and equality

8:07

by many Palestinians. OK. So,

8:10

look, the River to the Sea thing, let's just do

8:12

that quick. You've got the River, you've got the Sea. You

8:14

know what's right in between those two things? It's

8:16

Israel. So when you call Palestine will be free

8:19

from the River to the Sea, you are talking about wiping

8:21

out Israel. That's about eight million Jews. You've got about

8:23

two million Muslim Arabs who

8:25

are very happy, actually, to be citizens

8:28

of Israel and fight in the army and have equal rights

8:30

and all of that. So she knows damn well

8:32

she's calling for genocide while she

8:34

is accusing Israel of committing genocide,

8:38

which, of course, is absolutely absurd, because if

8:40

you look at the last 50 years of Gaza, the population

8:42

of Gaza has basically 5x,

8:45

right? So five times it's gone

8:47

up, not it isn't double or triple, five

8:50

times. So that is not a genocide. Also

8:52

it is very sad that, well,

8:54

according to the Gaza health ministry, 10,000 people

8:57

have been killed. I mean, that's taking

8:59

Hamas's word for it. But let's just say 10,000

9:01

people have been killed. First off, a huge amount of

9:03

them are fighters and Hamas supporters

9:05

and all of those things, on top

9:08

of the fact that they still have 200

9:10

hostages, including babies and elderly

9:13

people, Holocaust survivors and everything else.

9:15

On top of the atrocities they committed, like every

9:17

state has a right to defend its citizens,

9:21

and not only a right, I would say actually a duty, but

9:23

Hamas, of course, uses these people as

9:25

human shields. They put these people in hospitals.

9:28

She lied about the hospital bombing. By

9:30

the way, there's a hospital in Israel, in Ashdod,

9:32

that's been bombed three times. Somehow

9:34

that doesn't make it to the New York

9:37

Times. But in that video, so she's

9:39

sort of threatening President

9:41

Biden, that if you don't do what we want,

9:44

what we want, what we the American people want. It's not the

9:46

American people. The American people, by and large, are

9:48

much brighter than she is and much more decent

9:51

than she is. And they do support Israel,

9:53

as they would support any Western nation defending

9:55

itself from a bunch of bloodthirsty

9:57

jihadists. Yes, you can point

9:59

to... some of these crazy rallies where they are

10:01

calling for jihad, and she's all

10:04

for that, and they are calling for genocide and everything else.

10:06

But did you notice that when they show you the states,

10:08

when she shows the little logo of the states

10:10

in Ohio, what did it say under Ohio? It

10:13

said, no peace on stolen

10:15

land. That's what this is really about, and

10:17

I actually think that that was intentional, because

10:20

they think that America is stolen

10:22

land. That is what they think, that is

10:24

what they believe, and they are trying to undo

10:27

all of the West. So if you think

10:29

that what they think is, oh, well, it's just the Jews that

10:31

aren't supposed to be in the ancient land of Israel, right?

10:34

Then they'll wrap it up after that. No, it's

10:36

that the Americans are not supposed to be in Ohio

10:39

or Michigan or anywhere else. That

10:41

is what they are trying to undo, and she is

10:44

just, she is the leader

10:46

of the Hamas movement in the

10:48

United States.

10:50

Full stop period, end of sentence.

10:52

But she's got some cohorts with her. Here's

10:55

Ilhan Omar having a breakdown

10:57

on the floor after the center vote.

10:59

What is true here is that

11:02

every single

11:04

one of them has not acknowledged that Palestinians are

11:06

dying in the tens of thousands,

11:09

but will continue to say it is us,

11:12

one in

11:12

an unhinging humanity. We

11:15

should stand strong and

11:17

the whole state of the movement will

11:19

continue for liberation until

11:22

every single Palestinian has derived.

11:25

Gentlemen from Maryland is recognized.

11:28

OK, I've made a mistake, actually. That wasn't

11:30

after the century. That was right before. So they were debating

11:33

the century. That's Ilhan having a conniption about

11:35

it. Do you think that that woman

11:37

cares about Americans? Have

11:40

you ever shown have you ever seen a video

11:42

of her yelling with that? I mean, it's all theater

11:44

with these people. They're larpers. They're live action

11:46

role players. They rehearse these speeches,

11:49

their body language and all that stuff. Have you

11:51

ever seen her be so passionate about

11:54

Americans or American lives? It's

11:56

strange that she's not screaming about the 12.

11:59

We believe it's 12. it's a little unclear still, 12 American

12:01

hostages that are being held by Hamas.

12:04

And when she talks about the liberation of the Palestinian

12:06

people, what she means is the death

12:08

of an awful lot of Jews. We

12:11

did find one other video. This

12:13

was, I believe, right after. We

12:15

found this one. This is a Rubin Report special of

12:17

Ilhan right after that moment.

12:20

Take a look. See what we

12:22

did there.

12:41

But

12:43

this should not surprise any of us. I mean, this is what

12:46

these people have brought to America.

12:49

Imagine the gall of Ilhan Omar, who was brought

12:51

up in Somalia, which is a place filled with

12:53

sectarian violence, where virtually

12:55

nobody has liberty or independence

12:58

or any of those things that she purports to care about.

13:00

And she comes to this country to become a congresswoman

13:04

to upend

13:06

all of the goodness that we offered her.

13:09

If you care for an interview with a much,

13:12

much better Somali immigrant,

13:15

my interview with Ayan Hirsi Ali, who

13:17

many of you know, who has come to this country

13:19

to be a freedom fighter and

13:21

fight for actual

13:24

American values and individual rights and all

13:26

that. I interviewed her in London

13:28

at the art conference. That will be up,

13:31

I believe, in a day or two. That

13:33

will be up on Monday. So stay tuned on that.

13:36

We shot about 20 interviews, so we're laying them out over the course

13:38

of the week. Anyway, Ilhan is, she's

13:40

just no good. She is just no good. And

13:43

this is what they do with everything, as you know, instead of pointing

13:46

to the bad people. Oh, you

13:48

know, on October 6th, there were no Jews

13:50

or Israelis in Gaza. They could have done whatever they

13:52

wanted. Actually, they had

13:54

a ton of money because their leaders have all gotten

13:57

rich. The leaders of Hamas are worth about $11 billion.

13:59

They,

14:01

nobody wanted that land or anything.

14:03

Then they decided to kill all these people

14:06

and kidnap them, kidnap them and everything else.

14:09

But instead of pointing to the people who are the real

14:11

problem here, who have caused all of this,

14:13

what is Ilhan always doing? Well, she's usually blaming

14:16

MAGA and white men. You

14:18

might remember this a couple of months ago.

14:20

I would say our country

14:22

should be more fearful of white

14:26

men across our country, because they are

14:29

actually causing

14:31

most of the deaths within this country.

14:36

We should be more fearful of white

14:38

men. Do you see how absolutely,

14:41

brain-numbingly ridiculous identity

14:43

politics makes people? She wants

14:46

people to be walking down the street afraid of

14:48

white men, because they are white.

14:51

You guys are white. You

14:53

don't scare me. You

14:55

think you scare me?

14:57

These people are just terrible. You know

14:59

that. You know all of that. Speaking of terrible people,

15:01

let's just run with that for just a little bit. Cori Bush

15:03

is another member of the Hamas

15:05

caucus. I would say she's

15:07

the dumbest of all of them. AOC,

15:10

she's kind of like an idiot, but she's very calculating

15:13

and she knows how to use media. I put

15:15

her as the leader. Rashida is the most committed

15:17

and she's a genuine racist. I put

15:20

Ilhan in that bucket. Cori Bush is just

15:22

the extra one that they were like, could we just find an idiot

15:25

who could just scream and genuflect

15:27

and swing her arms all over the place and scream a bunch

15:29

of stuff that she has no idea what she's talking

15:31

about? They were like, yeah, yeah, we found Cori Bush.

15:34

Here

15:34

she is. Of a lack of care and

15:36

a lack of understanding and a lack

15:38

of seeing the humanity of folks

15:41

who look like Rashida Tlaib. It's

15:43

outrageous that my colleagues are blatantly,

15:46

blatantly attempting to silence the only

15:48

Palestinian American representative right

15:50

here. It's outrageous, but it's not surprising. Let

15:53

me tell you, it's not surprising because this place

15:56

is where 1700 members of Congress,

15:58

this elected body is. black people.

16:01

It's not surprising because they thought it was right.

16:03

It's not surprising because

16:04

this is the place where maybe to take

16:06

it into the insurrection

16:07

on the Capitol disappeared

16:09

to look like a normal tourist visit.

16:12

It's not surprising because this is

16:14

the place where our black and brown staff

16:16

members repeatedly speak of experiencing

16:18

racism and sexism. It's lama phobia

16:20

get pushed off the elevator, xenophobia

16:23

and more right here in this workplace. This

16:25

is the place and let me

16:26

say this she mourns for the 1400 is right.

16:29

Ladies,

16:30

and she will not

16:32

stop. Ladies,

16:41

no longer recognize the gentlemen from

16:43

Maryland. Gentlemen

16:49

from Maryland is recognized. That's what I

16:51

said.

16:53

Note that I don't have to scream

16:56

nor wave my arms

16:59

nor thrash around my head or

17:02

have trouble breathing when

17:04

I tell you that that woman is a

17:06

deeply anti-American,

17:09

anti-white bigot

17:11

and buffoon. See how easy that was? That

17:14

was easy. I don't even know that I had a heartbeat

17:16

during that whole thing. It was very, very easy to

17:18

do. But what these people do is

17:20

overly emote and they act again,

17:23

larping live action

17:25

role playing. They are pretending to believe

17:27

any of the things that they said. Nobody

17:30

cares that Rashida Tlaib

17:32

is Palestinian. It's because she

17:34

supports Hamas. And if she

17:36

really cared about the Palestinian

17:38

people, she would want them liberated from

17:41

Hamas. Again, Israel

17:43

has not had a citizen in Gaza

17:46

since 2005. The entire world would have loved

17:50

that place to turned into the second great

17:53

place on the Mediterranean

17:56

coast right there with Tel Aviv just miles

17:58

south. Right. thrown it in the Jews'

18:00

face. See, we made a place even nicer than Tel

18:03

Aviv. They could have done it. They could have done

18:05

it. But instead they literally

18:07

took pipes that were sent to them

18:10

to build water infrastructure under

18:12

the ground, and they turned it into rockets.

18:16

So thus, when you have to defend

18:18

bad ideas and bad people, you

18:21

have to scream, and you have to thrash

18:23

around and go completely berserk.

18:25

The other thing you have to do also is shed crocodile

18:28

tears. So here's Rashida herself.

18:31

Anti-Semitism makes us all less

18:33

safe and worried that your own child

18:36

might suffer the horrors that a six-year-old would do if he

18:38

was dead in Illinois. I

18:40

can't believe I have to say this, but

18:43

Palestinian people are not disposable.

19:00

We are human beings, just like anyone else. My city,

19:02

my grandmother, like all Palestinians,

19:10

just

19:13

wants to live her life with freedom

19:16

and human dignity we all deserve. Speaking

19:19

up to save lives, Mr. Chair, no matter

19:22

faith, no matter ethnicity, should

19:24

not be controversial in this chamber. The

19:26

cries of the Palestinians

19:29

and Israeli children sound no different to me.

19:32

Why? What? I don't

19:34

understand. It's why

19:36

the cries of Palestinians sound different to

19:39

you all.

19:41

We cannot lose our shared humanity,

19:43

Mr. Chair.

19:45

Shared humanity?

19:47

Where is the shared humanity? I mean, it's just—oh, thank you. It's

19:49

just because

19:55

Rashida, she loves everybody.

19:57

You know what I mean? It's those white people that hate

19:59

everybody. I stayed, everybody,

20:02

and she is a good woman,

20:04

and...

20:06

You get extra guacamole today.

20:08

That was good, that was good. Anyway,

20:11

her crocodile tears, the psychotic

20:14

screaming of those other two, and

20:16

a couple of their other friends, it did not work

20:19

because, yes, she was censured.

20:21

Here is Newhouse Majority Leader

20:23

Mike Johnson officially

20:25

announcing that it has passed. On

20:28

this vote, the yeas are 234, and

20:31

the nays are 188, with four answering present. The

20:36

resolution is adopted.

20:44

Without objection, the motion to reconsider is

20:46

laid on the table. As per...

20:48

Okay, so, yes, it happened.

20:50

She will be removed from a couple of

20:53

her positions, which, that

20:55

is good. This person should be

20:57

ignored, and if you

20:59

are a Democrat, if there are any Democrats

21:02

watching this, if you are a Democrat, you

21:04

should not want these people in your party.

21:06

The inmates are running the asylum, and

21:08

there might be a way to restore a decent

21:11

Democrat party, right? There might be a way

21:13

to revert the Democrat party back to a JFK-type

21:16

Democrat party, or even a, hey, I don't know,

21:18

maybe a Bill Clinton-Democrat-type

21:21

party. It's a damn shame that they got rid of Robert

21:23

F. Kennedy, who's now an independent, because he saw

21:25

that the writing was on the wall, and the inmates were running the asylum,

21:28

and all that stuff. There might be a way to

21:30

make it so that the Democrats aren't completely psychotic,

21:33

and racist, and want to destroy the United

21:35

States of America, but if there is,

21:37

it's on you guys, the Democrats, because I

21:39

ain't no Democrat. It's on you guys

21:41

to figure out what you are going to do with

21:43

these people, because, trust me, this

21:45

is not about the Jews, and it ain't about

21:48

Israel. What this is about, ultimately,

21:50

is destroying the United States of America, and

21:52

they are in the house, right?

21:54

The killer is calling from upstairs, and

21:56

his name is Rashida Tlaib. All

21:59

right, we're gonna... We have to harm meat and this whole fracas

22:02

around the government and big tech

22:05

silencing little old Dave Rubin

22:07

and a couple other people. But before we do,

22:09

23:28

dot com slash Dave. And that is a perfect

23:31

advertiser for the segue into

23:33

big tech censorship. So very quickly

23:36

before I bring on First Amendment

23:38

lawyer, Harmeet Dhillon, I wanna just recap what

23:40

Jim Jordan revealed two days

23:42

ago. Here's a shorter version of his Twitter

23:45

thread. Bombshell

23:47

report on the censorship industrial

23:49

complex. Hundreds of secret reports

23:51

show how that DHS Gov

23:54

and CISA Gov, which is Cybersecurity

23:56

and Infrastructure Security Agency, and

23:58

the GEC, which is the State Department. Stanford

24:00

University and others worked together to

24:03

censor Americans before the 2020 election, including

24:06

true information, jokes, and

24:08

opinions. The federal government disinformation

24:11

experts, experts over at universities,

24:14

Big Tech and others worked together

24:16

through the Election Integrity

24:18

Partnership to monitor and censor American

24:21

speech. According to one

24:23

EIP member, the EIP was created

24:26

at the request of CISA, the

24:28

head of the EIP also said

24:30

that the EIP was created after working

24:33

on some monitoring ideas with CISA.

24:35

Here's how it worked. EIP stakeholders,

24:37

including the federal government, would submit

24:40

misinformation reports. EIP

24:42

would analyze the report and find similar

24:44

content across platforms. EIP

24:46

would submit the report to Big Tech, often

24:49

with a recommendation on how to censor. The

24:51

Judiciary GOP and Weaponization

24:55

of Government Department obtained these

24:57

non-public documents and information

25:00

from Stanford only after the threat

25:02

of contempt of court. Who

25:05

was targeted? Americans of all political

25:07

stripes, but especially conservatives. And here's just

25:09

a couple. Donald Trump, Newt Gingrich, Mike

25:11

Huckabee, Sean Hannity, Harmeet

25:13

Dillon, that's P-N-G-A-B-A-N, that's

25:16

Harmeet, Charlie Kirk, et cetera, et cetera. And

25:18

yes, it didn't stop there, even

25:21

went after Newsmax's Rubin

25:23

report. I can't believe it. I like that guy, James

25:26

O'Keefe. And he finished

25:28

up by saying, what speech was targeted for censorship,

25:31

true information, jokes, and

25:33

political opinions? Excuse

25:35

me. So with no further

25:38

ado, allow me to bring on the founder of the Dillon

25:40

Law Group, the former candidate for

25:42

the RNC chair against Ronna McDaniel.

25:47

And unfortunately, that didn't work out. The results last

25:49

night are proof of that. Harmeet Dillon,

25:51

how are you?

25:52

I'm great. Thanks for having me here, Dave. Harmeet,

25:55

I should also mention before we start, so I can cough for

25:57

a second, you also lived in San Francisco.

25:59

which I find so absolutely

26:02

bizarre, but you're just trying to fight the good fight there

26:04

still.

26:05

The juris nix should actually provide

26:07

big tech, and that's one reason why I haven't moved

26:09

away, is the courthouse is not closing my

26:12

office.

26:13

Fair enough. All right, so let's dive into the specifics

26:15

on this. Obviously, you've been on the show many

26:18

times. We've talked about First Amendment issues related

26:20

to big tech. You've sued Google before. You're

26:22

in the midst of a bunch of lawsuits related

26:25

to all this, but can you explain a bit, or

26:28

can you unpack, I guess, a bit of what Jim

26:30

Jordan was talking about there specifically? And then,

26:32

of course, I want to talk about what are the

26:35

ways that someone whose rights might have

26:37

been infringed could actually go

26:40

after the government?

26:41

Well, absolutely. So what we have

26:43

seen in this interim report from Jim

26:46

Jordan

26:47

is a fascinating set of additional

26:49

pieces of the mosaic, but the picture

26:52

started to emerge actually back

26:54

in 2021, very soon

26:57

after the election. And

26:59

what we found there is the initial

27:01

watch first did some work regarding

27:05

public records requests from California.

27:08

And we found in California

27:10

that the National Association

27:12

of Secretaries of State, which is featured in

27:15

this report, as well as

27:18

money from taxpayers and the California Secretary

27:20

of State reviewed the census speech

27:23

in California, where Twitter is and other

27:25

social media companies are headquartered. So

27:27

we at the Center for American Liberty, my nonprofit,

27:30

filed a lawsuit over this back

27:32

in 2021. And that lawsuit

27:34

has made its way up to the court through

27:36

up to the Supreme Court where we're sitting right now waiting

27:38

for search. So in the Ninth Circuit, where

27:40

I live and where I practice,

27:42

the courts have not recognized a claim

27:46

by a citizen

27:47

who was censored on social media at the

27:49

best of the government

27:51

to sue and recover any relief.

27:54

But on the other hand, in Missouri,

27:56

the Secretary of State of Missouri and other secretaries

27:59

of state sued the government more

28:01

recently last year on behalf

28:03

of scientists, including my friend

28:05

Jay Bhattacharya and others who

28:07

were censored on their truthful and

28:10

scientific speech about a host

28:12

of issues related to vaccines. And

28:14

the court reached the opposite result there this

28:17

past summer in a very scathing

28:19

opinion saying that where the government tells

28:23

private parties, social media companies what

28:25

they can and cannot say,

28:26

that is

28:27

violation of the First Amendment.

28:29

And so now that case is also sitting in the United

28:32

States Supreme Court because the Biden administration

28:34

has been fighting

28:36

for its right at the federal level to censor

28:38

your speech. And now long comes this

28:40

report, which is very interesting

28:43

from a legal perspective because what it shows,

28:46

and this is legally relevant is

28:48

that the government was aware, our federal

28:50

government was aware that it had to hide

28:53

in censorship activity. It could

28:56

not openly say elections are

28:58

unsafe, we have a right to come in there

29:00

and shape what you see because that's what fascists

29:03

do

29:03

in Banana Republic. That's not what we do

29:05

here in America. It's illegal in America.

29:08

So they knew what they were doing was wrong. And

29:10

they used practice

29:12

like these puppets that they set up in these

29:14

pseudo scientific university

29:17

efforts in multiple universities, but Stanford

29:20

and some others to censor

29:22

your speech. And so they come up with these

29:24

pseudo scientific ways

29:27

of analyzing whether this information

29:29

is spreading in some kind of viral

29:32

way. They use the actual terms of diseases

29:35

to describe our accurate commentary.

29:37

In my case, the example, and of course in the

29:40

next day complete report, the example

29:42

that Jim Jordan tweeted of my speech

29:44

was simply that I was talking to two of my colleagues

29:47

at my law firm on election day in 2020 and saying,

29:50

hey, I'm getting reports from Pennsylvania that

29:53

things are going okay in parts of Pennsylvania,

29:56

but they're a complete disaster in Philadelphia.

29:58

Check, check, check all.

29:59

And they somehow

30:02

deemed to be unsafe speech because they specifically

30:05

called out the attorney general

30:07

over there and questioned what

30:09

was going on there. And so when

30:11

you multiply this by thousands of

30:14

speakers and tweets and comments that

30:16

have been taken back, we know that

30:18

the First Amendment has been violated. Now

30:21

we are waiting with bated breath for the

30:23

United States Supreme Court to fully

30:25

decide this issue. And if you decided the way

30:27

the Ninth Circuit wanted,

30:29

then you have no rights and they can go ahead and

30:31

censor you surreptitiously

30:33

using proxies, using by the way, universities

30:37

were the same students who were doing this work are

30:39

shouting the most vile

30:41

thing. So propaganda is coming from the very

30:44

places that the censors are coming from.

30:46

So I think we're at

30:47

a real crossroads here on the First Amendment,

30:49

the first of our most important civil liberties in

30:52

the country today.

30:53

Right. And it should be noted that even

30:55

if whatever you were saying or I

30:58

was saying or Jay Bhattacharya was saying was complete

31:00

nonsense, you still have a right, a First

31:02

Amendment right to share complete

31:04

nonsense, even though that wasn't the case, let's say,

31:06

in the three of us. But you do have a First Amendment right to

31:09

say crazy things. I mean,

31:11

look what I just showed on the floor of the House from yesterday.

31:16

What would you want a proper recourse

31:18

to be? So let's say these cases go in the direction

31:20

that you want them to go and they work their way up to

31:23

the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court actually rules,

31:25

boy, these people's First Amendment rights

31:28

were violated. The government actually

31:30

went out of its way to create these

31:32

sort of banana agencies to silence

31:35

people and everything else. Like, what is the

31:37

win other than us seeing it?

31:39

Because I think that's what most people think at this point. We

31:41

have sort of like farcical Senate hearings

31:43

and we expose a lot of things, but nothing

31:46

tangibly ever, tangible ever comes out

31:48

of this stuff.

31:49

Well, so what we need is

31:51

a injunction from the Supreme

31:53

Court, endorsed by the Supreme Court on

31:55

the government

31:56

using proxies or itself

31:59

telling regulators.

31:59

identity, social media companies,

32:02

what they can show. That

32:05

is what is needed. But beyond that, the reveal

32:07

that Jim Jordan showed us is very important

32:09

legally

32:10

because nor I probably see

32:12

the government more than any Republican

32:14

lawyer in America. And what you

32:17

learn in the course of doing that is

32:19

that unless she can prove that a government official

32:22

did something wrong and that they knew it

32:24

was wrong, and it was clearly established

32:26

to be wrong, you cannot hold that

32:28

government official personally liable for

32:30

damages.

32:31

And so when we see

32:34

that the government actually went about this in a

32:36

surreptitious way, which clearly implies

32:38

they knew that what they were doing was prohibited by the

32:41

First Amendment, that allows you potentially

32:43

to pierce that qualified immunity

32:45

veil and get damages from

32:47

the individuals. Now, are they really going to pay it themselves?

32:50

They are, if they get indemnified by their

32:52

agencies. But

32:54

making real cash change hands and

32:56

also having injunctions and having a

32:58

federal judge who sets a monitor,

33:02

whose job it is to monitor the government

33:04

agencies that have been doing wrong and

33:06

hold them accountable and make them come into court, hanging

33:09

their heads and describe what they've been doing

33:11

to fix the problem. That is what is necessary,

33:14

of course, also attorney fees paid to the attorneys

33:17

who

33:17

do the work to expose these things.

33:19

Right. So if, wait, if I understood you correctly, though, the

33:21

damages would be paid by the actual

33:23

people who did this, not the government

33:26

itself. So it's basically some like mid-level

33:28

guy who was like, yeah, I don't like Dave Rubin's

33:30

tweet on COVID. I'm going to delete that. And

33:33

then I have to go after that guy who, you

33:35

know, makes whatever he makes with his government salary

33:37

to get anything. And again, I actually

33:39

don't want money out of this. I want truth.

33:42

And I would love actually a letter from the

33:44

United States government saying, Dave, yeah,

33:46

we censored you and we're sorry. Like that

33:49

actually, and we're not going to do it again. How about that?

33:51

That might be enough for me.

33:52

Absolutely. So, you know,

33:54

the answer is that's right. So

33:57

dating back to my clerkship in the United States

33:59

Department of Justice.

33:59

in the early 90s, I'm dating myself

34:02

now,

34:02

there really is a very limited

34:05

remedy at the federal level for federal violations

34:08

of your civil rights. There used to be a common

34:10

law cause of action called vivins, but the Supreme

34:12

Court is really whittled that down.

34:14

I have spoken to Jim Jordan and other members

34:16

of Congress, and I testified in front of Congress repeatedly.

34:19

What is needed is a social

34:22

media and media user's bill of

34:24

rights that allows citizens

34:27

a private right of action to sue

34:29

the federal government, hold the federal government liable

34:31

for damages and attorney fees and

34:33

all of that, if you're going to do damages, for

34:35

violating our First Amendment and our other

34:38

important fundamental well-established civil

34:41

rights. We don't have that, and I'm sorry to say

34:43

that many Republican members of Congress, like Democrats,

34:46

are in the pocket

34:47

of American corporations, including big

34:49

tech corporations. They want nothing more than

34:52

to have their own accounts, you know, created,

34:54

say, whatever they want, they want to get checks from

34:56

these

34:56

companies. Many conservative organizations are

34:59

in the same boat as well. I called

35:01

out CPAC many years ago for allowing

35:03

Google to be a platinum sponsor of CPAC

35:06

at the same time that my client,

35:07

James DeMoor, was fired from

35:10

Google for simply saying true things.

35:13

And so we really had to get our act together

35:15

in this and understand that the corporation

35:17

worship of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s

35:20

in the Republican Party, it needs to stop, and

35:22

we need to understand that corporations today

35:24

are regulated. I don't blame a corporation

35:26

where the federal government is

35:28

breathing down your neck and the FCC has power

35:30

over you and senators are threatening

35:33

to take away your Communications

35:35

Decency Act community. I don't blame them

35:37

for paying the, you

35:39

know, rigor-ish, if you will, to

35:41

be able to stay in business. So we have to

35:43

protect them and protect ourselves, and

35:45

that means

35:46

people in Congress need to step

35:48

up and give citizens rights

35:51

because this is a rampant, expansive,

35:54

and unknown-scope problem at this time.

35:56

I believe Jim

35:57

Jordan's tweet thread only

35:59

scratched The scratches have surfaced. God knows

36:01

what these people have been doing.

36:03

Right, I always say it's not the things that I know

36:05

they're doing with shadow banding and everything else, it's all

36:07

of the things that we don't know that I'm really worried about. I

36:10

wanna jump to two clips with you, and then I wanna discuss

36:12

some election stuff, because obviously

36:14

yesterday there was an election and you did

36:16

run for RNC chair, and I

36:18

supported you, DeSantis supported you, you had a ton

36:20

of support, but unfortunately we got

36:22

Ron and McDaniel, and clearly it ain't working

36:25

out. So we'll get to that in just a sec. But I wanna throw

36:27

back to this clip from about five years ago, and

36:29

I'm sure most of my audience will remember this. This

36:31

is when Twitter CEO

36:33

Jack Dorsey and Twitter head

36:35

of legal, Vijaya Gade, were

36:38

on Joe Rogan's show with Tim Pool,

36:40

and it was obvious to many of us that

36:42

there was massive censorship. We didn't know

36:45

that the government was directly involved,

36:47

but CEO Jack Dorsey and head

36:50

of legal, so she was in charge of all

36:52

of the decision making related to censorship. She

36:54

was getting grilled by Tim Pool on Rogan,

36:57

take a look. One really important thing that

36:59

needs to be stated is that Twitter, by

37:01

definition, is a biased platform in favor

37:03

of the

37:03

left, period. It's not a question, I understand you might

37:05

have your own interpretation, but it's very simple.

37:08

Conservatives do not agree with you on the definition

37:10

of misgendering. If you have a rule in

37:12

place that specifically adheres to the left ideology,

37:14

you by default are enforcing rules from

37:16

a biased perspective.

37:18

Well Tim, there are a lot of people on the left

37:20

who don't agree with how we're doing our job either. For sure.

37:22

And those people think that we don't take enough action on a new

37:25

harassment, and we let far too

37:26

much behavior go. But that's a radical

37:28

example though. I mean what he's talking about, I mean

37:30

in terms of generalities, in

37:33

general, things lean far more left.

37:35

Would you agree to that? I don't know what that means.

37:37

But in this particular case, it's how the speech is being

37:39

used. That this is a new vector of attack

37:42

that people have felt that

37:45

I don't wanna be on this platform anymore because I'm being

37:47

harassed and abused and I need to get the hell out.

37:50

So of course, Tim Pool was right, and

37:52

we now know that Vigaya and

37:55

what the Jack Dorsey, they are no longer at Twitter.

37:58

Elon got rid of them very quickly. to

38:00

a video of Elon on Rogan last week in just a

38:02

sec. But when you watch that

38:04

in retrospect, it's like, man, she was basically

38:07

an agent of the government. And Jack Dorsey,

38:09

by the way, who said, even in a tweet

38:11

to me, that we do not shadow ban

38:13

at Twitter, I was then at Twitter six

38:16

months ago and they showed me under the hood the entire

38:18

system that they have there was designed

38:21

to shadow ban. So I

38:22

suppose none of this surprises you in

38:25

retrospect. Not at all. I mean, look, like I

38:27

said, I've been suing these companies or

38:29

longer than anybody I know.

38:30

And I was on a panel one time way many

38:33

years ago with the head of litigation

38:35

at Facebook.

38:37

And he used almost the identical words that

38:39

the JAGOD agents used. I mean, they actually,

38:42

these guys

38:42

talk to each other, this is when they're party line, well, the

38:44

left's not happy with it either. Okay,

38:46

that's not an answer to the problem.

38:49

And what we now know is that the censorship

38:51

industrial complex is way more vast and

38:53

pervasive and there are almost certainly censorship

38:56

activities that have yet to be uncovered.

38:59

And not to mention, I wrote

39:01

an alarming report this morning about flat puppet accounts

39:04

that our government is using to spread propaganda

39:06

in foreign countries and probably

39:08

our own country.

39:09

And there are a lot of

39:11

things that Elon hasn't had a chance yet

39:13

to deal with. So none of

39:15

that surprises me and none of that answers

39:17

for the government, state

39:19

and federal governments, pervasive

39:22

censorship of American citizens.

39:24

What happens at the federal level is just one part

39:25

of it. I described to you the lawsuit we filed that's

39:28

gonna be from America, wouldn't be for Oregon on the other side. That

39:30

was California Secretary of State doing

39:32

it. And many other state secretaries of

39:34

state have done that. And they have their own

39:36

level of immunity,

39:37

which makes it difficult to sue them in federal

39:39

court over federal claims. So it's a

39:41

complicated situation. All right, so I wanna

39:44

flash forward now to

39:46

five and a half years after that clip on

39:48

Joe Rogan, to Joe Rogan's show last

39:50

week. So now he had Elon on and

39:53

here's Elon basically saying that

39:55

Twitter 1.0 run by those two

39:57

people we just showed you right there. What's

39:59

the government's...

39:59

What was that like?

40:01

To me, that was

40:03

the most bizarre, was the Twitter

40:05

files. When you let Schellenberg and Matt

40:07

Taibbi and all those guys get in the response

40:09

where Matt Taibbi

40:12

gets audited, which

40:14

is just wild. It's just so

40:16

blatant and so in your face. Yeah,

40:18

it's

40:19

weird. I mean, the degree

40:24

to which ... By the way, Jack didn't really

40:26

know this, but the degree to which Twitter

40:28

was simply an arm

40:30

of the government was not well

40:32

understood by the public.

40:35

There was no ... It was whatever the official ... It

40:38

was like Pravda, basically.

40:39

It's a state publication

40:42

is the way to think of old Twitter. It's a state

40:44

publication.

40:45

Because the justification from their

40:47

perspective that they are progressive

40:51

liberals, they have the right intentions,

40:53

it's important that they stay in power. The progressive

40:56

liberals stay in government and power because

40:58

this is their ... There

41:01

was basically oppression

41:04

of

41:06

any views that would even,

41:08

I would say, be considered middle of the road.

41:11

But certainly anything on the right.

41:14

I'm not talking about far-right,

41:16

I'm just talking mildly right. Republicans

41:19

were suppressed at 10 times the rate of Democrats.

41:22

Now, that's because old

41:25

Twitter was fundamentally controlled by the

41:27

far left.

41:28

It was

41:29

completely controlled by the far left.

41:32

So Harmeet, I think most people watching, they

41:34

get it. They now see that Elon

41:37

has done good with Twitter. I think there's still a huge

41:39

amount of problems there and you just mentioned the sock puppet account.

41:42

There's lots of bots and sock puppets. It's

41:44

absolutely insane up there. But he's clearly trying.

41:47

All of that being said, do you have hope that,

41:50

say, Facebook and Google

41:53

and YouTube, YouTube's the number two search engine? I think

41:55

Twitter is now ... Sorry, I think TikTok is now

41:57

the number one search engine. Do you have any hope

41:59

that any of these things ...

41:59

things could be reformed through

42:01

the government or on their own?

42:04

Well, so not on their own and not through the

42:06

government. And God forbid that our

42:08

creative speech

42:09

hinges on the whims of one

42:12

billionaire, much as we love them and we've

42:14

done with Twitter. But

42:16

that cannot be the situation. And for years,

42:19

like I said, I've been pleading with members of Congress who

42:21

I have access to

42:22

do something about this. You just need to pass a law.

42:25

They didn't do it. And it needs to be done. And

42:27

this is a bipartisan issue.

42:28

I do not want

42:30

our, I don't want

42:33

Republican presidents and Republican governments

42:35

censoring the left either. People have a right

42:38

to free speech in our country. And

42:40

if, by the way, if Twitter

42:42

is proud death, imagine what the New

42:45

York Times and Washington Post

42:47

and the San Francisco Chronicle and all these other

42:50

rags, what are they? So it's

42:52

a poorly kept secret that what

42:54

we see has been heavily manipulated by

42:57

our government for many years

42:59

as citizens should have a right and a

43:01

private right of action.

43:03

Believe me, if lawyers start filing lawsuits

43:05

and real money exchanges hands, this will

43:08

stop. All right. Well, hopefully this is just the

43:10

beginning of some of this stuff being exposed and then

43:13

people like Jim Jordan on the government side and people like

43:15

you on the legal side doing something about it. I

43:17

want to shift for just a couple of minutes because,

43:19

as I mentioned, you did run for the head

43:21

of the RNC. Ronna McDaniel

43:23

won, unfortunately. And yesterday

43:26

we did have an election and it did

43:28

not go well for Republicans. Once

43:30

again, I've got a little info here from CBS.

43:34

Democrats scored victories in several states in

43:36

Tuesday's off-year election. Ohio

43:38

voters will enshrine abortion access

43:40

in the state's constitution. And Democratic

43:43

incumbent, Governor Andy Beshear, won his

43:45

reelection in Kentucky. CBS

43:47

News projects two big victories

43:50

for Democrats as President Biden faces

43:52

daunting polls regarding his reelection

43:54

prospects in 2024. Democrats

43:57

also took control of Virginia's House of Delegates

43:59

and retained their hold on the majority

44:02

in the state Senate, according to the

44:04

Associated Press. And, Harmeet, before

44:06

I have you jump in, my friend Kurt Schickler,

44:08

who's been on the show many times, he wrote this

44:11

on Twitter, "'Great work, GOP Chairwoman.'"

44:13

That's Ronna McDaniel. "'Another defeat

44:15

in her unbroken record "'of failed election

44:17

cycle. "'A special shout out to Donald

44:20

Trump "'for his support for her great

44:22

work.'" So it was an odd thing because

44:25

most of the base did not like Ronna,

44:27

they liked you. Donald

44:29

Trump, however, supported her. Ron

44:32

DeSantis supported you. So it had very,

44:34

very strange bedfellows

44:36

that was similar to the speakership thing where the base

44:39

seemed to hate Kevin McCarthy, but Trump

44:41

was into McCarthy. What do you

44:43

make of what's going on with the Republican

44:45

Party at a national level? I am a Florida

44:48

Republican, but at a national level,

44:50

I don't know what to do with this party.

44:52

Well, so first of all, you have a great governor in

44:55

Florida, and I am a

44:57

fan of the governor as a governor.

44:59

We'll gladly take you over here. We'll

45:01

gladly take you. He's a great governor. I

45:03

also represent President Trump and his

45:05

campaign in multiple cases, dozens

45:08

of cases, and so I'll choose my words

45:10

very carefully. Yes, I

45:12

made a run for R&C Chair. I was drafted by

45:14

many members of the R&C who believe that

45:16

we needed to do things differently to win elections,

45:19

and

45:21

very popular outside the R&C, and

45:23

the 168 members of the R&C

45:26

in their wisdom, they chose to like

45:28

the status quo. So I think if you have a beef with

45:30

what happens, you should find

45:32

out how your members of the R&C in your state

45:35

or three of the state or territory

45:37

voted and give them a piece of your mind because

45:39

we have upcoming leadership elections at the R&C.

45:42

Now, the voters chose Ronna,

45:44

and I've congratulated her, and

45:47

I'm doing everything I can to support her. I've

45:49

been called on very little over the last

45:51

year to do anything within

45:53

the party, and so we're doing our work outside

45:55

the party. What I tweeted this morning is,

45:58

there

45:58

is no cattle really coming.

45:59

guys in the state, there's no federal

46:03

RNC welfare coming to bail you out.

46:05

The fact is that the way we do elections in

46:07

America has changed. And the sweet

46:09

spot for all of us who want to win elections

46:12

is targeting Republican

46:14

or conservative or even moderate leaning

46:16

low propensity voters and getting their

46:19

ballots in

46:20

by all means necessary. So people

46:23

sitting behind Twitter keyboards can sit on their butts

46:25

and talk about, oh, well, first you

46:27

need to shut down the machines and X, Y, and Z. I

46:30

mean, in a perfect world, I

46:32

would have it be paper ballots voting on

46:34

election day. We aren't in a perfect world,

46:36

state that election laws get with

46:38

the program, it's figure out how to win

46:40

elections. When you have our excellent

46:43

candidate in Kentucky outspent by more

46:45

than

46:45

three to one. Yep. It's literally

46:47

the

46:48

job of the Republican Governors

46:50

Association to raise that money and spend it.

46:52

What happened there guys? And

46:55

then in other places, I'm

46:57

going to hear I'm sure some after party analysis

47:00

about, oh, we need to get our story straight on

47:02

abortion and what the messaging needs to be.

47:04

Well, the RNC does pay tens

47:06

of thousands of dollars a month on, you know, consulting

47:09

fees of communications officials.

47:11

That's not really working out very well. So again, everybody

47:14

should figure out what the message is that

47:16

works in your jurisdiction for your candidate

47:18

for your state. You cannot hire a conversation,

47:20

you have to embrace it and you have to have thoughtful, persuasive

47:24

messaging on it, whatever that is, and get

47:27

out there and figure it out. And so that

47:29

is my takeaway. The RNC's job

47:31

is to elect a president really, and everything else that

47:34

has been piled on.

47:35

We've been doing it, but not winning

47:37

over the last few years. States have a responsibility,

47:40

and state parties do. So get off the Republican

47:43

National Committee Welfare, raise your own

47:45

money, and get a paid army

47:47

of signature and ballot gatherers out there

47:50

to get things done on

47:52

ballot measures. This is what the left does. The left

47:54

is getting, is their plan is

47:57

for the bait to be abortion

47:59

related. ballot measures

48:01

in their states. Where's our date? What

48:04

is our date? It could be transgender bans.

48:06

It could be so many things that turn

48:08

out

48:09

our voters. Where's the

48:11

money? So I would say figure

48:13

it out and give local and

48:15

act locally.

48:17

HEDGES. There was one little nugget

48:19

of decency that came out of the elections last

48:22

night. This is a tweet from Lee Zeldin, who of course is unfortunately

48:24

not governor of New York. He's still

48:26

a representative up there. Suffolk County, that's

48:29

Long Island, where I'm from, just elected

48:31

its first GOP county executive in

48:33

decades, Ed Romain. This is an enormous

48:36

flip of a Long Island suburb from

48:39

blue to red. So it is nice to

48:41

know that in the place that I grew up there is a little

48:44

bit of sanity. Harmeet, I will

48:46

give you the last word. Are you hopeful?

48:48

I mean, as we roll into this presidential election,

48:50

and obviously you like both of those guys and everything else, are you

48:52

hopeful that maybe there

48:55

can be some reconciliation between

48:57

those two camps and that the Republicans will kind of

48:59

get their crap together, so to speak? DUNCAN.

49:02

I hope that Governor

49:04

DeSantis

49:05

supports President Trump. He's my choice

49:07

for president, and I think that's the

49:09

choice of most Republican voters, that

49:12

we have to sort of thread the needle here. My

49:14

partners are flying around the country from hearing

49:16

to hearing, defending the

49:18

right of President Trump to be

49:20

on the ballot,

49:22

which is extraordinary

49:25

that not elected

49:26

judges are substituting their judgment

49:28

there. So our republic is at great risk. I

49:30

would not be sitting here doing this as a

49:32

volunteer Republican if I

49:34

did not have optimism. But optimism untethered

49:36

from action and cash and

49:39

hard work is meaningless. So

49:41

we really have to get out there and do the hard work in the

49:43

next year. We have a year, and this is

49:45

the most important year in my political life.

49:48

H

50:00

I love it. Absolutely. All right,

50:02

Harmeet Dylan, thanks so much. Thank

50:04

you very much.

50:05

My pleasure. Guys, as you know, tonight

50:08

is the debate

50:09

in my new home of

50:12

Miami. Here is the NBC News

50:14

Provo for what's going to happen. NBC

50:17

News hosts the Republican presidential

50:19

debate, moderated by Lester Holt and

50:21

Kristen Welker, joined by Hugh Hewitt.

50:24

How would the candidates confront the critical challenges

50:26

at home and abroad as the next commander-in-chief?

50:29

Tomorrow at 8 p.m.

50:31

The theater of all this. It's like the

50:34

orange man's not going to be there. He's going to be in Hialeah,

50:36

which is about 20 minutes or so outside of Miami,

50:39

having a rally. It's

50:41

like if there was ever a time, it doesn't matter

50:43

who you're supporting right now, it really doesn't. If

50:45

there was ever a time relative to everything that's

50:47

happening in the world right now that we

50:49

needed to have a debate, it doesn't matter who's up by 50

50:52

or 40 or blah, blah, blah, it's

50:54

like we should be having this battle out

50:56

in front and everyone

50:59

should be there defending their ideas. And unfortunately, that's just not where we're at. So

51:01

I don't have any great illusions that something

51:03

really incredible is going to happen tonight. I do

51:06

sense, notwithstanding what Harmit just

51:08

said, I do sense that

51:11

there has been a momentum shift in Iowa. I

51:13

mean, really think about what happened in Iowa. If

51:15

Trump is supposedly up by 50 points, how

51:17

does it make sense that Kim Reynolds, the super

51:20

popular governor of Iowa,

51:22

who's just, she's just a gem, that

51:24

she's like, you know what, I'm going to back the guy down

51:26

by 50, right? Because

51:29

she's now campaigning with DeSantis. How would it make

51:31

sense politically for her future, for

51:33

her career or anything else to go against Trump,

51:36

to go against MAGA? Do you think maybe

51:38

something different is happening on the ground in Iowa and

51:40

maybe the mainstream media doesn't want to cover that

51:43

because maybe they think DeSantis is more

51:45

of the threat and maybe they think Trump's

51:47

negatives are so high that he would be a great

51:49

candidate to go against the elderly man pretending

51:52

to be president? Do you think any of that's possible

51:54

or am I just totally bananas? You

51:57

tell me. We've got a postgame show coming up in

51:59

just moments. at reubenreport.locals.com.

52:02

Also a reminder, our new show,

52:04

People of the Internet, is

52:16

Eric Weinstein, a long awaited return to

52:18

the Reuben Report, is up right now.

52:21

And yes, we will be live in here,

52:23

perhaps with some tequila and some dark

52:25

lighting and glitter. What about

52:27

some glitter? No glitter. There

52:29

is no glitter at 10

52:32

p.m. Eastern tonight. I thank you for

52:34
