The fourth volume of my Bible commentary, The Rational Bible, is coming out next year.

It's called The Rational Bible.

When I write this, these books, I am explaining verse by verse what's going on.

No one untutored can read the Bible and fully understand it. It's just the way it is.

I wrote this for you, but do you know who I have in mind when I'm writing it? A rural Chinese peasant who never heard of Moses, who never heard of Adam and Eve.

The text is in it.

It is the best-selling Bible commentary in America.

It's called The Rational Bible, and I will make a plug for it.

She was a 2020 presidential candidate on the Dem side, and she is author of the book For Love of Country. Leave the Democrat Party behind.

So you know how things went over there. Tulsi, great to have you back, especially so soon. But why shouldn't we given the monumental developments since you were last on? This was a grassroots bottom up quote process that was really given to the voters just in case you weren't aware.

She was a 2020 presidential candidate on the Dem side, and she is author of the book For Love of Country. Leave the Democrat Party behind. So you know how things went over there.

Tulsi Gabbard is here with me. Her book is For Love of Country, Leave the Democrat Party Behind and it's available right now.

I dedicate a whole chapter in my book to this very topic because of how destructive and divisive it has become.

he told the court that he had not read any of Trump's books but had seen quotes from the art of the deal

First potential jurors says he followed Trump on X and read some of his books.

Art of the deal and how to get rich.

He drew a smile and a nod from Trump.

And man, I helped get into the business, Chuck Rovin, uh, the three of us together, David and I brought Chuck a book called American Prometheus and said, do you think you can call your associate and friend, uh, Chris Nolan, see if you could get him interested in this project that we've been trying to get off the ground for five years.

do you think you can call your associate and friend, uh, Chris Nolan, see if you could get him interested in this project that we've been trying to get off the ground for five years.

In 2021, she was on this program after she wrote the book Bad News. How woke media is undermining democracy.

Bad News is perfect. That's exactly right.

My book is called Bad News, and it's really about how we're sort of in a moral panic about race that's being perpetuated by the mainstream liberal national media.

The use of a moral panic about race to hide the really, really terrible, terrible income inequality in this nation and the abandonment of the working class by both sides.

How woke media is undermining democracy.

I have been on a tear lately, David, about women and what we are and what we are not and rejecting some of the crazy gender nonsense that's being shoved down our throats and saying things like, you know, Kelly J. Keane's What Is a Woman?, an adult human female, female period. That's the end of it.

They've got Matt Walsh with his documentary, What Is a Woman?, which was amazing, by the way, and featured many voices from the left trying to make the case that all this stuff is OK. It's just, you know, in my view, Matt wins the arguments.

Karen is that right thing. long, isn't it? My gosh. This is, this is the year in what my next guest is calling the longest general election campaign in history. We are well on our way one month down. And it sure does feel that way.

Look, from everything that any normal person could get, this guy is a liar, a crook, totally arrogant, totally untrustworthy.

I think it's always dangerous to do because under our system, you are elected by the people of your district.

But I think in Sanders' case, and he kind of said that himself, I mean, I was amazed he was on Fox and Friends this morning, basically saying, yeah, I know they're going to kick me out.

And I thought that like you, I found Newsom sort of so off-putting just as a personality that it was hard to actually take his argument seriously.

I think that at a fact basis, and this is what really puzzles me about California, at a fact basis, politicians like Newsom and the California Assembly have crippled what's arguably the greatest state we have.

I think that you have to have a party committed to solutions more than just investigating Biden, more than just fighting over politics, but thinking through how do we make America work again?

We did that with Reagan in 1980, in the middle of the Carter disaster. He came in and he had very specific positive ideas. We built on that. We stood on his shoulders in 1994 and created the Contract with America, which I described in March to the Majority, because I think it's a playbook for today.

It's not just history, but it's something that Republicans in the House, the Senate and the presidential races can pick up and say, here is a model that works.

And I think that that's part of what has powered Donald Trump's entire political career. The people out there who feel the most alienated think whatever his flaws, at least he's standing up fighting for them.

And I think when people like Joe Biden and Merrick Garland display open contempt for the American people, they are increasing the number of Americans who say, I got it. You're the kind of guys we got to get rid of.

And all of these things are part of the same exact pattern and trend. And Charles Murray started documenting this with Coming Apart back in 2012, that as we're increasingly isolated by class and sorted by class, we have really come, especially from the people who control the levers of power in this country to disdain each other.

Coming Apart is, of course, I think the most important book about journalism that is not particularly a book about journalism.

We know the vice president well, and we know that when she speaks spontaneously, she has an unavoidable cackle. But when she's speaking from a script, she's very grave and very serious. So we know she's following a script here. And the script is that she has to reject what is common sense in the name of an ideological agenda. It's as simple as that. So my reaction is straightforward, and I think this would be true of anyone who participated in this process, namely that Booker T. Washington titled his autobiography Up From Slavery. That's his story, not our story. He told it.

Booker T. Washington wrote a book called Up From Slavery. This was a man who was born a slave. He wrote a book in 1901, a mere 36 years after slavery. If you read the book, Megan, he is more optimistic about the future for black people than people like Ibram X. Kendi and Patrice Cullors and the cultural host on MSNBC are right now.

I believe my reading Booker T. Washington's Up From Slavery as a child and growing up in the state where he was born, I think that that impacted my life.

I think we're getting this image of Governor Noem as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho you know cricket do you like Huey Lewis and the News kind of putting on the smock and everything.

and it's not it'd be one thing if she were torturing this animal but she was she just kind of took him out back said look at the flowers George you know and did a little of mice and men kind of action a little old yellow reaction and so having a time of her life is this psycho dog was a gleeful you know at the bodies of the chickens you know tossing them in the air psycho that's normal that's normal behavior dog every time Stradwick sees a squirrel or a rabbit run across our property he's almost frothing at the mouth he's so excited if you were just a little faster he'd be killing them every day but he's kind of fat and a little slow so he can't do it.

If you want to hear a great defense of Gen X, just went online a couple of days ago. Bret Easton Ellis, the author of American Psycho, in an interview in which he was saying why Gen X was the greatest generation in these more recent generations have ruined the ruined America. It's really, really funny and very, very good.

He writes for so many years that Christian Bale, who played serial killer Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, was referenced as an example.

I argue in The Parasitic Mind that our critical thinking expects the same thing. In order for you to develop good critical thinking abilities, you have to be put through the test.

So I can be all for transgender rights while also scoffing at the idea that men too can menstruate, right?

Even intelligent people can become babbling fools.

In The Parasitic Mind I talk about this issue when I talk about the ethos of victimology and I basically argue that in the same way that when you set a thermostat that it will either release heat or release air conditioning to for it to adhere to the temperature that you've set it at this is what we're doing with victimology.

Most importantly to me, he is the author of the amazing and very well worth your time book, The Parasitic Mind. How infectious ideas are killing common sense and he hosts a very popular YouTube show called The Sad Truth.

One of the things that I talk about in The Parasitic Mind is that this idea of anti fragility.

I discussed this story in The Parasitic Mind.

Your chapter eight is called to action. This is just a couple, you got to read it for yourself peeps, but trust me, it's worth your time.

Do not be a bystander as truth, reason, and logic call out for your help.

You need to read this book, but start by listening to Gad and then you can decide for yourself whether you want more of this brilliant man's thinking in your life because I know the answer is going to be yes.

Not only is he is he full of common sense and wisdom and insightful ways of looking at things, but he's funny.

Joining me now to discuss it all, Dave Rubin, host of The Rubin Report and author of the book Don't Burn This Country, Surviving and Thriving in Our Woke Dystopia.

Don't Burn This Country, the subheading is Surviving and Thriving in Our Woke Dystopia.

And it's out today.

I knew there was a risk there.

There was a risk in that, hey, all right. The first book did OK, but it was a weird time. But who knows?

It takes courage.

Don't Burn This Country, the subheading is Surviving and Thriving in Our Woke Dystopia.

It follows up on Don't Burn This Book.

I'm very happy to be spending book launch day with you.

It's a great read. It's a fast read. Dave makes very salient points. He gets in and out. He doesn't bore you on a subject and he doesn't use word salad.

We don't want to be numbed and silenced and kept in the dark. This is speaking to the fact that so many people in America, the majority two thirds are afraid to say the things they believe because they're they fear that others might find them offensive.
