Appearing for an interview with Dave Rubin, the founder of Locals and a major conscript of the branding and image shaping effort behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Megyn Kelly gives Mr. Rubin the bitter pill of truth. {Direct Rumble Link}
Within this excerpt, Mr. Rubin struggles through the five stages of grief following Kelly’s red pill delivery, eventually stabilizing his emotion by accepting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis can still deliver good political outcomes for the state. It’s a very interesting dynamic to watch for a few reasons.
First, because Megyn Kelly has first-hand experience with the power of the MAGA attachment to the atypical America-First leader. Second, because Kelly’s truthful statements cut against the objective for why Rubin was recruited by DeSantis Inc. WATCH:
.
Sad Trombone…
I didn’t know that Rubin used to be part of “The Young Turks” until just now. He left those idiots in 2015. I understand what it’s like to do a complete 180 politically, but I’m suspicious of Rubin. Right now I’m inclined to view him as an opportunistic media ho. His wikipedia page says he just registered as a Republican in 2022, in Florida where he moved after living in LA.
Until late 2018, Rubin received much of his funding through Patreon, a crowdfunding site on which Rubin said he received over $10,000 per month before deletion.
I’ll bet he makes a lot more than that now.
I’m suspicious of any of these “pundits” who are constantly pimping DeSantis. Trump hasn’t even announced whether or not he’s going to run but there they are already glowingly recommending that DeSantis run, and how great he’ll be. Annoying.
Meghan Kelly and Rubin hate Trump and Desantis
But, Kelley is totally correct on this. It’s Trump’s election to win. MAGA voters will not vote Desantis over Trump.
Nevertheless, Megyn totally wcchooled rino rube Rubin on the nature of “the Problem”
I had to laugh. Megyn may be a TV ho, but she sure knows where the money isn’t.
She’s older, wiser, and more independent regarding her pay.
I don’t think she’s great, but she is better than she was.
If anything, she’s less of a media whore.
Because she used to be the face of media whoring.
Ill give her credit for that.
older, wiser, and a bit worse for wear
that Trump presidency took its toll:
looks like that pancake makeup’s covering a bit of 5-o’clock stubble or something
Oof
Shes almost 52
My age
(still a media whore)
CTH comments aren’t what they used to be.
Yes, she is in fact human and she ages like the rest of us. Trump, too.
that photo was 6 years ago, in the runup to the 2016 election
She looked pretty damned hot on that video. Almost won me over…
I’m 67, 52 looks young to me.
Me too….a beautiful lady IMHO. Must never forget “while beauty is skin deep, ugly goes clear to the bone.”
If Mike Obama had a white “sister” ??
She’s had a lot of good work done since that picture was taken.
I’d still hit it.
I agree. I think she’s more humble too, at least in this clip.
If DeSantis stabs Trump in the back, he is toast.
Trump has been through f#$king hell and back for this country and MAGA knows it.
This is not a normal time.
Any Republican who thinks he can safely run against Trump is suicidal.
DS will not stab anyone in the back knowingly.
Disagree
You’re free to disagree but you are wrong.
We will NOT forsake President Donald J Trump. For anyone. Period.
Agreed. But I’m sure trump will win the nomination, but I don’t think he can overcome his negatives with independents, especially against Michelle. Anyone who doesn’t vote for Michelle is a racist!!!
M K doesn’t hate Trump.
She respects him.
She couldn’t take him down And she lost bigly.
Fair and square.
MAGA.
MK is a Trump ally who will prove to be valuable. red pilled hard
@YvonneM, this is the problem w your statement, “she tried to take him down”, She respects him, maybe now. If she was serious and cared for the actual country (us people)instead of her career or elitism she never would of attempted to “take him down”. She was/is GOP and even if she has had a change of heart, it doesn’t matter. When it come to the lime-light, politics, journalists’, etc can never really truly be trusted ever again when they make a traitors move. Sorry.
Dave Rubin was a Registered Independent in CA.
The epic, slow and gradual, Young Turks meltdown election night 2016:
This brings back a lot of memories and you can kind of follow the pounding that Trump gave to the establishment that night and their reaction as the results came in.
Starts out mild but towards the end is where it gets hilarious.
What the Young Turks were saying and feeling was what everyone in the Hillary camp was feeling that night, the night she was suppose to win.
yeah, breaking that ‘glass ceiling’ and all …
I read somewhere that Trump representatives bought Hillary’s planned fireworks off them at a discount – LOL
my running joke is that those white pants are so tight, you can read the last number she dialed on her smart phone
RE fireworks, he actually mentioned that in one of his pre-election rallies! That was a very telling moment!
I thought maybe this was it, but this video was made on Dec 9 2016.
https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4636353/user-clip-nicholas-alahverdian-span-playlist-president-elect-trump-clinton-fireworks
that redhead w the white pants looks like the redhead that was a plant at one of Trump’s debates. She had a sweater tied around her neck at that debate, can’t remember which one. She asked a staged question and was supposed to be a random person but I’m pretty sure she was discovered to be a democratic campaign worker or something.
that would be akimbo bimbo, I saved the photos
Youtube has basically erased most vids of election night 2016.
LOL… it never gets old.
I love the montauge of all the clowns on the networks that starts out with them all smiles and just as giddy as can be, like it was a done deal and the vote count was mere a formality. Then Trump wipes the smile off of every one of their faces. The look on their faces when they realize something’s not right is unmistakable.
Watching the panic excruciatingly set in when the votes didn’t flip on cue, and how painfully awkward it gets the longer they delay calling the results beause they’re still holding out hope for the votes to flip, is just pure bliss. All the weeping and gnashing of teeth that ensues after reality finally sets in is… well, it’s just priceless to watch.
Controlled media opposition. Rubin will fatten his big account playing up his version of moderate RINO politics on corporate conservative media like FOX News.
If all I cared about was making money off politics, I’d “convert” over to RINO media. It’s why Paul Ryan’s FOX News is now loaded with “former” Democrats and Leftists as media personalities. Literally every new hire is like that since Trump was first elected. They systematically removed every hard Right personality from the network except for tokens like Judge Jeanine.
I agree. Never trust a democrat, even a “former” one.
Easy there….Donald Trump was formerly a democrat……and I can name a few others that swapped over in the last 15 years if your interested. Even recently Tulsi Gabbard left the currently insane democrat party. I don’t agree on everything with her, but at least she called the baby ugly and left
I’ll take a honest recent convert from the DEMs any day over many duplicitous conniving back-sabbing RINOs any day….Mitch, Ryan, go down the traitors list, you surely know the names
Megan is sharp and knowledgeable but is still part of the establishment. She wasn’t a fan of Trump and that hurt her a little with the Fox MAGA crowd. She goes to NBC and actually does ok but defending the use of blackface was a big no-no with the woke crowd and she got canned 3 days later.
But she’s 100% right here. Trump vs. DeSantis is not an option. DeSantis would not run against Trump to begin with. He knows he’s better off in Florida for the time being, especially if Trump is going to be the next President.
There is really no reason for DeSantis to take on Trump. If Trump should be reelected after going through the Biden government landmines, he can only preside over one term. DeSantis does his 4 years as my Governor and is free to start running for President in Trump’s last two years. DeSantis has been a great governor for us but there are other intriguing possibilities out there beginning to emerge to replace Trump.
Both parties stole a presidential election to get rid of Trump. DeSantis is given a massive war chest and is being groomed for the same purpose. He will run.
No, one Party stole the election. The other Party, as usual, stood around with head in posterior disease, and did that because they were afraid of losing their own comfortable chairs to MAGA. They still are. That is why MAGA must win every race we are in next month. Only a MAGA majority of the Repug Party can remove that Party’s leadership. Once that is accomplished, MAGA will be a serious opponent of the Demcommie Party. Vote like your life depends on it next month, because it does. Another two years of the current BS will not be reparable.
One party did most of the deed, the other is highly complicit.
“DeSantis would not run against Trump… he’s better off in Florida for the time being, especially if Trump is going to be the next President.”
That’s what logic would dictate, I think many of us can agree
But — if DeSantis challenges PresTrump for the nomination, I’ll take that as a sign that
…
DeSantis has the inside line (TM)
That being that PresTrump will not be permitted to make it to nomination day
yes, the A-word
In which case, DeSantis would want to be positioned
Sorry to be rude, I usually don’t touch that third rail
But I for one will be watching very very carefully what DeSantis does
He’s gotten a lot of big donations for his (cough) Florida Governor campaign. He is now owned.
What a ruinous thought, nimrodman, that President Trump would be assassinated and that the ducks are being lined up now, in the event “they” decide the country needs to go somewhere else without him.
The country would officially step off the cliff into hell if they murder our President.
yeah, I know it’s a ruinous thought, I don’t like to think it — nor voice it
but they went to great lengths to run him out of town once with a stolen election, what is it exactly that we think they won’t do?
the bright-side outlook would be that they only go as far as another stolen election, I guess
… and Ryan is assuring us as well
Paul Ryan: Donald Trump Will Not Be the Republican Nominee in 2024
“They” said that 2015 2016…..
yeah, I know
I’m not posting it because I agree with it … I’m no Paul Ryan fan
I posted it to show the forces out there that are arrayed against PresTrump
like the country did after Kennedy? Funny, while people knew Kennedy was taken out by our own government, the people allowed the federal gov and the media and controllers to boldly tell their lies and install their chosen replacement for Kennedy.
The American people have been handled (manipulated and controlled) for a very long time. Evidently the price for taking our liberties back is too high for the majority and they have accepted the chains of servitude.
The other alternative is the (R) establishment hoping (and quietly helping) the Dems’ efforts to hoax up some criminal charges against Trump with their J6 circus or with planted evidence from the Mar-a-Lago Gestapo raid.
It’s plain as day that the Republican establishment would love to see PDJT prohibited from running again.
yes, as I said upthread there are many forces out there that are arrayed against PresTrump
Under that scenario, I will not vote for DeSantis.
I consider him (as great a FL governor that he is) a bit slimy even now.
Surely RD would have a clue about the A word….if not before he would know afterwards…and if he ran knowing that ….he is dangerous.
Desantis can’t take down Trump. Megyn saw first hand how we abandoned and eviscerated her after she showed her true colors in that first debate with her first smarmy, horrible question for Trump.
Very good point. Megyn knows the pain of desertion.
MK walked the walk in this interview. I like her a lot.
the GREATEST moment in all Debate History, all the way back to Lincoln-Douglas because … it was spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment, could not have foreseen the vicious shock and awe of the FIRST Question! and then, The Perfect Answer! wow
I almost lost my nice TV that time… I had just sat down with a well made Manhattan and then Megyn came up with that question…. it was only a split second hesitation that kept my tumbler from flying 12 feet to the screen.
That and the fact that wasting good bourbon goes against my grain.
I don’t care if Ron DeSantis is on the ticket but if Trump’s not the nominee I’m going to vote libertarian.
so Democrat
Oh yeah, that’ll help our cause! I wish people wouldn’t act like stubborn little children! Sheesh.
I am thankful for this posting and am glad I watched. Her analysis is spot on.
Rubin is very new to having to critically think. Larry Elder is the person responsible for that conversion. I lump Rubin, Shapiro, and Kirk into the Con Inc side of influencers. All of these influencers are paid, a lot of them former Democrats and, in my opinion, are a bit dangerous. These are the anti left former left. A clique of money makers, nothing wrong with it, entertaining gad flies for sure.
Megyn has demonstrated in this clip she is learning from experience. She was put through the wringer, mostly self inflicted, but seems to have gained perspective. Nice to see. I will pay attention to her broadcast. Really appreciate this clip. Thank you.
Her podcast is actually very good, with a wide array of guests. She likes to have different voices on. I appreciate that. Echo chambers are not good.
I agree. I liked her on Fox before that August debate. I’ve wondered at times if management pushed that deadly [for her] question on her.
You can add Glenn Beck to that list. A woeful shill.
you said what I think , M
As much as I like Megyn’s authenticity in calling it like she sees it, there’s one thing she said that speaks volumes, and I hope 45 is listening: “only Trump can bring down Trump.” < truth
MAGA
Spot on!
“she is not wrong” Frankly it was repulsive listening to her wish for the old Mitch-Chuck gridlock pretense. Also her reasoning that it’s because he was cheated the number one reason we want him back.
Nope it’s his America first. The fact that every political and bureaucartic family dynasty and their connected hates him and he now also hates them. They are the root of the rot.
Those are the primary reasons If those were not there, cheated would be a reason yes. It isn’t primary though. She is right and If DeSantis runs against Trump he will do it without me. She was right in that sense.
Much better administering and also right back to gridlock and lobbyist heaven.
Also I suspect DeSantis good as he is in many ways, to be bondo.
Trump was overthrown by a DS/DC coupe d’etat
We were cheated…
Those Coupe d’Etats are going for a pretty penny these days, never drove one myself.
😉
Doesn’t matter who wins the Primaries. Trump can’t beat Dominion and ballot harvesting, so the government will remain under total control of the Fabians.
That is my concern as well. They will take the cheat to unheard of levels. After all, they did it in 2020, blatantly stole an election, and not a single consequence to anyone involved.
What are we willing to do about it? If we aren’t bothering our legislators to kick electronic voting to the curb and aggressively regulate mail in and drop box voting, we will get the same results again. And if the legislators aren’t interested, there are other possibilities.
We won in 2016. 2020 had an unusual level of Dem fraud. Hopefully 2024 will be more normal.
Also, what’s up with the Debbie Downer comment? We can never win?
There’s nary a day here at the otherwise wonderful CTH that we don’t get the braying of at least one Eeyore.
Sometimes they show up in mini-herds.
Let’s just give up, it’s too hard.
Megyn Kelly has always been an astute and good reporter… unless her emotions get involved. Personal emotions speak for many in the public sphere.
In spite of her and Trump’s dust up, she can see what is true, better so than many political analysts and others alike.
Any politically connected person who thinks the true Deplorables will vote for any GOP nominee is out of touch. They have been around too many DC cocktail parties.
Megyns greatest weakness isn’t her emotions, but her own ambition.
If she can stay grounded and not succumb to the temptation of being the center of the story she can be very effective.
Fla has many issues that Desantis hasn’t touched –
Like an audit of 2020 election or the mounds of bureaucracy , Taxes and regulation that need to be cut back , some 2A open carry and how about a serious E- VERIFY enforcement instead of media games moving around illegals instead of deporting-
Love the Gov , but this is beyond stupid –
Stay in your lane and get back to work- great job with IAN- I live in Lee and local officials have been weak Desantis Great
Thxs
Well said.
For us, it’s a no-brainer. Trump is the “only” one who can withstand the onslaught of the Democratic Party using the powers of government to corrupt it, use it against the republican candidate/President, Lawfare and the relentless disinformation from the national media and big tech.
It has always been my belief that the agenda above was going to take place no matter who the republican candidate was.
They know what I have written and while it hardens the cement of our support for Trump they are banking on the “Trump Fatigue Syndrome” running off the middle 3rd that makes the difference of winning and losing – that is their focus as that’s all they have left given there demonstrable evil Leftist policies.
DeSantistards like to pretend he isn’t funded by the WEF
Just as bad as a Democrat
Live in Reality PLEASE
Jeb thought he had the advantage because of his corporate, GOPe, chamber of commerce, libtard media and Hollywood funded war chest.
Please clap.
Yes, corporations are people,and they should have a voice in the dialogue.
but it’s the electorate that actually vote that get to decide the direction the country will move towards.
They will never understand that it’s not about who’s raising the most money that’s more important to the MAGA coalition.
It’s the authenticity of the candidate that we have been lacking in our politicians all these years that drove us to find an alternative to THEM.
We finally had enough of their puppets and got ourselves a real champion.
We chose a fighter named
DONALD, J, TRUMP.
Can someone give me the cliff notes version of why she thinks DeSantis has no chance agaisnt DJT, thanks.
interviews only 8 min — worth your watch. Invest the time, she’s 100% correct.
DeSantis has no chance against DJT. The base will not vote for DeSantis. Cliff note: Paul Ryan supporting DeSantis is the only cliff note you need.
90,000,000+ MAGA types.
Paul Ryan evidently just endorsed DeSantis.
That’s plenty!
I AM UNSHAKEABLE — Meghan Kelly is spot on! MAGA 2024, and yes I’d say it WILL be his first real term.
I like DeSantis…as governor. But when I heard he might be considering a presidential run against Trump, I like him a lot less. In addition to Trump being a true leader with a powerful vision (MAGA), I have serious reservations about DeSantis running at this time. Professionally, Florida is a key state in national politics so it would be reckless of him to abandon the state at this critical time. Personally, he is the father of three very young children, one of whom is still in diapers and whose wife is recovering from serious cancer. To abandon the state, and more importantly his vulnerable family at this critical time would make me think much less of him. Bottom line, it is not his time, and he needs to stay put where he is needed more.
AHAHHAHA! Pence can pound sand.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/gop-hopefuls-turn-pence-broaden-181326795.html
What a ridiculous article. But hey, it’s Yahoo. It looks like they’re trying a new tactic, instead of running 50 anti-Trump stories per day, now they’ll run 49 anti-Trump stories and 1 pro-Pence story. 🙂
Pence. Hahahaomghahaha
Kelly knows first hand how strong and smart Trump is. She and Bret and little chrissy wallace found out in the first debate in 2016. She thought she was going to change a presidentail race. There is video of her saying that.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2015/08/13/murdochs-little-princess-retreats-to-the-hills-amid-backlash-megyn-kelly-takes-1-5-week-vacation/
That smart aleck attitude, smirky facial expression and swaggering walk to the debate is something I will always remember about Megan Kelly.
She will need to do a lot of work to overcome this which is what made her “famous”.
This kind of thinking by the msm as to how they can make or break a candidate is exactly what so many of the American voters are sick and tired of.
Kelly may have learned her lesson and might be trying harder to do a better job but we the voters have had decades of smart a**ed media personalities that we have had to deal with in our elections and WE REMEMBER.
We do not give our trust that easily.
If she had just maintained neutrality toward Trump she’d still be making big $$$ on Fox.
…. and she was trying her best to make it happen
The last time I watched Megan was with the debate with Trump. She totally lost my audience but then Fox lost my audience also around that time. I will give her that she is reading the MAGA supporters correctly. And I do see DeSantis as an ingrate and political animal. If President Trump had not endorsed him in 2017 I believe Florida would have been stuck with the drugged up pathetic POS Gillium. He’s done well for Florida but not as great as he could. He avoided the election integrity issue almost 100%. Sure he just set up a commission to investigate election fraud but he has ignored totally election integrity.
I have never been a Dave Rubin fan or listener or read his commentary.
DeSantis now has an albatross around his neck named Sasse.
VERY interesting.
and Paul Ryan.
Megyn has reached stage 5, acceptance.
Anyone who goes up against Trump will automatically be perceived as the enemy. Don’t even think about it. Trump is our President.
Anyone against Trump
IS the enemy!
DeSantis is sadly the best slot available on the Uniparty Roulette Wheel, and he’s a supreme political douche. When will all you cultists stop spinning the wheel? Sigh, never, not even if the Free World collapsed, and anarchy reigned for 40 years. You’d all pray for a Nanny to restart all the socialist goodies you pretended didn’t exist when you were young, deluded hypocrites.
I’m not sure who your comment is aimed at but there are plenty of people here (myself included) who dislike DeSantis.
Roger that
there are so many reasons for DeSantis to wait until 2028, premature talk about 2024 is hurts everyone MAGA:
1) DeSantis is still very young, he will be 50 years old in 2028 – isn’t that astonishing?
2) Kelly is right, America needs Great Governors to combat our deep entrenched enemy in Cities, Corporations, Agencies, Academia and Culture. We may get a fresh new crop of Great Governors in ’22 that will make for terrific selection as VP and Cabinet members in ’28. Yes, more competition for the Crown, but all for the good of Patriots.
Florida right now is The Leader, showing the way – much better off running in ’28 after two terms as Florida Governor
3) All Kudos to Kelly for saying everything correctly in this interview, including that Trump was ripped off in his 4-year term by all the craziness. Now, Trump is the sidelined Heavyweight Champion of the World (Ali,1967-1970) who is fit and ready to claim what is rightfully his. WhyinHell would MAGA desert him?!
Any Republican who challenges Trump, or wants a different Republican candidate (Prager?) is a damned naïve fool. I don’t suspect Dennis Prager of coddling to Globalists, but he’s a big fan of Dave Rubin. This sure gets interesting, doesn’t it?
Ohhh by the way, Mark Levin was Big Supporter of Mark Brnovich for AZ U.S. Senate – wow! They have eyes but do not see…
Mark Levin is a bought and paid shill/whore and can see just fine. He can see the money pouring into his accounts for speaking the party line. He belongs on that list of Conservative Inc. ho’s a ways back up the thread.
Mark Levin…Dennis Prager…Rubin, Shapiro. Neocons all. They share most conservative values that MAGA holds, but always remember their first allengiance will be to Israel and the international economic / political power of thier brethren. They should just be open and honest about it. And the rest of us shouldn’t be hostile towards them, but we should always be wary and hold this truth in the back of our minds when evaluating the things they say, especially when it comes to wars and foreign policy. These guys should be viewed like Hyman Roth in the Godfather part II…. “Michael, your father did business with Hymann Roth, your father respected Hymann Roth, but your father never trusted Hymann Roth”
If DeSantis is 28
The country will be lost to the WEF
It’s one progressive arguing with another about who’s in charge of paying for what at my expense.
Megan Kelly is still an unwatchable hag trying to change the definition of conservativism. Rubin is an absolute liberal trying to do his best mid career Glenn Beck / Tucker Carlson.
These two share much in common. Like, don’t bother giving these people your time.
Barack Obama is the one behind the curtain, running this country right now, without a doubt, along with Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice. Mark my words. They are all taking marching orders from George Soros and Klaus Schwab. Anyone disagree?
Who do you think runs Schwab?
How did a lowly German clerk to the UN come to Switzerland and set up such a powerfully subversive enterprise?
The conspiracy goes higher.
My ranking of US Presidents in my 70-yr lifetime, best to worst:
Trump, Reagan, Eisenhower, Truman, Kennedy, Nixon, Bush41, Johnson, Bush43, Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden
You definitely have 1st, last and next to last right.
IMHO, Nixon was better than JFK. He took us out of Vietnam.
JFK did fight the likes of his VP and the Southern Democrats in the issue of Civil Rights… but he took us into Vietnam.
JFK actually wanted to get the US out of Vietnam but wanted to do so in a gradual manner. He was also very skeptical of the CIA and its operational modes.
as komrade’s reply below states, JFK planned to take us out of Nam
Should I post images of Dave dining with PTrump at Mar-a-lago. Then that will prove exactly what? Frankly both DeSantis and Trump back Israel/Balfouristan..the devil’s foothold in a fake country not resembling the Israel of The Bible..maybe the Scofield/Rothschild version. Israel can pretend to be a friend to us but their actions and comments over the years paint the US as Balfouristan’s schiska. I don’t take such allusions kindly being a man and of God. I ain’t met the SOB I was born downhill from yet. And don’t give me the anti-semite grief. Most are Ashkenazis and are mongolian and turk in bloodline..not Hebrew or semitic. Sham after scam.
I’m not sure what to make of your comment? I wouldn’t doubt that there are pictures of Rubin with Trump, though I suspect none that are recent. As for Israel, why did you go off on that tangent?
some people have to bring every discussion back around to the jooz
for whatever agenda it is that they have
There are 2 kind of jooz….the real ones and the ones that happen to be of joowish decent “in name only”.
The two kinds of Jews, there are Christian Jews and Jews who reject Jesus Christ. God will have his judgement on Judgment Day.
Speaking of Nazis and Jews…
I’m a little confused here and maybe you can help clear up my confusion….so the Communists who accuse us of being Nazis are the same people who are funding/supporting/promoting real Nazis in Ukraine, real Nazis are fighting and dying FOR a Jewish guy, Zelensky, and that Jewish leader is in charge of the Nazi military who is fighting the former Communist KGB leader who helped to liberate the Jews from the Nazis?
You Nazis have lost all your credibility with that move….ALL of it….
There are other good people. Not as good as Trump, nobody will ever be as good as Trump, but certainly as good as DeSantis.
Megyn has lost some of her feistiness. Way too subdued, tip toeing through the tulips, looking for and anticipating land mines. DeSantis needs to tend to Florida now and do what is right to bring his state together and through a recovery. That is something he may be able to hang his hat on. I don’t like all the national money pouring into his re-election coffers……..he doesn’t need it…or does he……and why? My opinion is he doesn’t need to be running against Trump…it’s not his time……not yet… Trump is the right man for the right job at the right time. Trump is a lion, the job is filthy dirty but now is the time to clean house. And Donald J Trump is the one to do it. Everybody else needs to get on board or get the hell out of the way.
Didn’t like her, but I have to say that if she’s onboard the MAGA train, she can sit next to me. She definitely went up a notch in my book with the WarGames quote.
She’s not onboard the MAGA train but has a healthy respect for Trump since he inviserated her in the debate. She is watchable now, smarter now.
FWIW:
I’m sorry I didn’t provide a summary. Rubin used to be part of The Young Turks and after he left Kasparian and the others who remained were quite critical of him. Kasparian reveals some interesting info, including how he behaved when part of TYT and who funds him now. It’s very interesting.
I’m highly suspicious of all of the new young conservative pundits. They don’t seem to be properly educated, and I wonder who is promoting/funding them. There are very few pundits I respect, one is certainly Maria Bartiromo.
Thanks for that, Sis.
Sounds like he found a grift rather than an epiphany. I know folks like this gal are certainly gonna have an axe to grind and a distasteful Leftist bent, but she ain’t wrong that his conversion doesn’t ring sincere.
Almost like someone wanted to check a certain box for the DeSantis Ploy, IYKWIMAITYD.
I dunno, that’s like saying ” the sky is blue with white clouds ” . She dissed our President Trump when it mattered to her to do that to the most. We shall see if she is coming around to understanding that President Trump and his new administration can and will right this ship. Or if she is just blowing whatever where the wind blows.
Her last fruit was no so good.
I don’t think she’s acknowledging that Trump was and will be again a fantastic President. I interpret her comments as more about his charisma and our loyalty to him.
Exactly, she’s explaining certain facts on the ground in terms of how RdS can’t beat him, without explaining why the loyalty is so well founded and ought to be embraced by anyone that doesn’t wish to see our country destroyed.
She even referenced the steal without actually acknowledging it, a clever girl.
She wasn’t wrong but she was only half right.
Not only did Trump win, he was moving the power from the government and wall street back to the people. So far there is no evidence that anyone else would do that. Also, at this point people are starting to realize that primaries are being rigged too.
Rubin: “I’ve always said that there’s a certain portion of the base that would rather burn everything down if they can’t have Trump.” Interesting characterization, and revealing, IMO, regarding what people who consider themselves opinion-makers think of Trump supporters. Not wanting America to become a land of bug-eating peasants ruled over by WEF overlords is the same as wanting to burn it all down.
Great observation, louche9
Indeed, I almost stopped the video at that point as it so describes a certain perspective, an inner desire to denigrate those that can’t be swayed by the likes of himself to a more personally profitable candidate.
It was a nasty thing to say, and it was a damned lie to boot, the only ones threatening to burn anything down have been doing so by the Billions and Trillions of dollars and countless lives, with many more to come, and there’s only one person that has half a chance of turning that around.
I’ve watched this two or three times loading each time that Megan Kelly is 100% right. The election is Trump’s to lose and the only real hope that DeSantis has is to be his VP. But that smells a little too much like Reagan-Bush. Personally, I think Trump-Gabbard has a great ring to it….
I’d prefer Kari Lake to Gabbard myself.
Their is no substitute for Trump. Their is no substitute for MAGA.
I will accept no substitutes, imitations,sloppy seconds or hand me downs.
I am happy to hear Megyn Kelly set this two time’in slick willy straight.
Though Rubin is surprised to hear Kelly express her view, I see no sign of the 5 stages of grief in Rubin’s reaction. And Kelly thinks everyone gets trounced by Trump because she did. But Trump’s performances in the last debates were much weaker compared to 2016. As a Trump fan, I worry that he declines to prepare properly for debates and while winging it has mainly worked for Trump it isn’t the best way to go into a debate. De Santis wouldn’t make that mistake.
Sure, Jan.
Kelly has lived through going up against Trump and losing. People would do well to heed her words.

Hey Bro, take the “mobile.” out and the Tweets will populate on our browsers.
Yes, Dave got the sads when Kelly told him that DeSantis can’t win with President Trump…
There are reasons that Trump is no longer as popular as he was.
For one thing, he’s not loudly repudiating the mRNA vaccines.
I don’t think he learned from his mistakes while he was in office. He’s likely still unteachable.
I know people that will only vote for him because there’s nobody better on the horizon, not because they are any longer enthusiastic.
All you’re saying is that you won’t vote for anybody, because no politician is loudly repudiating the vaccines….
Good plan! Just when the Communists win and put you in jail for your social media posts, just don’t whine about the consequences of your choices in life,
She’s not wrong. I am willing to burn it all down.
The establishment republicans will field a diversified crop of candidates with one mission and that would be to beat Trump in the primaries. They will have the full support of the media and the democrats. I cannot imagine DeSantis being one of those candidates. Megyn is absolutely correct in her position.
The problem with these young Turks is that they opt for style over substance. In life, everything is about policy. Style is the venue of fashion clothing designers. Trump is substance and policy, and he’s forgotten more about economic lore than DeSantis will ever know.
Well…I Am MAGA and Megyn Kelly is not wrong. I like Desantis a lot. But not more than Trump and I will vote Trump in 2024, if we have to wait that long. I say…..get Trump back in there…and then let him drain the swamp now that he knows who all the rats are, since they have noe been exposed!
This is an argument that is incredibly flawed. Desantis won’t run against Trump. He is not a fool. Anyone who believes that he would destroy his political career by working to offend the Trump base is a fool. Desantis is young. He has time. Yes, he will run this time IF Trump doesn’t. Otherwise, he’ll wait his time.
I agree with you. But I get the feeling that there are a bunch of never-Trumpers who think the Trump supporters like DeSantis just as much as we like Trump. Have they figured it out yet it’s not true? Megyn Kelly has figured it out. The people working with DeSantis need a reality check.
Serena is correct, others are playing DeSantis, the delusion is theirs.
The moves are obvious, so DeSantis is clearly being moved onto the field, and it’s not a reluctant drafting or we wouldn’t have the nationwide Top Goof ad for a single example amongst many; some folks have plans to edge PDJT out of the picture one way or another, and they have the perfect “Plan B” that we keep hearing is so necessary, just in case, wink wink.
Which suggests that DeSantis, who is indeed not stupid, has been assured that as a well positioned and fully funded Plan B candidate he will find himself not facing Trump at all. Sundance has suggested as much and the more folks tell us about RdS’s smarts, the more it proves out.
Dave Rubin is clueless
Megyn speaks from experience about trying to go toe to toe with Trump. She tried, and it cost her career trajectory. She has now reimagined herself and is ascending again on a limited scale. She speaks from brutal experience!
Indeed, her commentary was remarkably calm and bloodless.
Didn’t DeZantized state last year he was not going to run if Trump runs?
There are some people who claim that he did say that but I can’t find any evidence of it. I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, I just can’t find it. If anyone else finds it that’s great, I want to bookmark it.
SAME!
Screenshot it too.
I finally found something in a New York Times article about DeSantis published on Sep 22.
Trump has said privately that DeSantis previously told him he would not run if Trump did, a version of events that people who know DeSantis refuse to believe.

It’s a very interesting article that I think probably contains a lot of useful info. Like I didn’t know that DeSantis was actually asking Trump to tweet about him (DeSantis) prior to his 2018 Florida election. He knew if Trump mentioned him he’d get a boost in the polls.
