welcome everyone the great dave rubin joins us today you can find him on rumble at rubin report x rubin report uh let's see uh locals don't forget about locals as well and his book don't burn this book uh the burning of the book has uh multiple layers of meaning now uh there it is uh in the sense that books are being burned electronically all over the place all the last four years certainly and uh President Biden in his outgoing speech last night emphasized the importance of burning books, essentially what he was saying. And burning has a new meaning in this part of the world. And Dave Rubin's house is now worth more because of Gavin Newsom's extraordinary, extraordinary leadership skills. We'll talk about that and more right after this.

Our laws, as it pertains to substances, are draconian and bizarre. The psychopath started this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin. Ridiculous. I'm a doctor for f***'s sake. Where the hell do you think I learned that? I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time. Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say. We are going to get right to it today.

Let's bring in the one and only Dave Rubin from The Rubin Report. Dave, welcome. I trust all is well in the great state of Florida.
All is well in the great state of Florida. And yes, it is true. My house is worth more today than even a week ago because everybody from your fair state of California, if they weren't all coming here already, they're really all coming here now. I mean, joking aside, I spoke to my real estate agent just yesterday, and he said he's basically been on a 72-hour nonstop phone binge because everybody is now trying to get out. They've just had it. You can't blame them. Drew, my second book was Don't Burn This Country. The first one was Don't Burn This Book. The second one was Don't Burn This Country, which I'm now realizing I didn't mean it literally, everybody. It was supposed to be a metaphor, and yet here we are.

I want to jump off that to talk about President Biden's speech last night. I don't know if you heard it. I did. He whisper yelled through the entire speech. There's a name for that medically. Parkinsonian patients get this hypophonia. He had no nuance. He had a little more facial expression than usual, which suggests he's on some medication to help him with that, which he should be. I mean, he should be. He's got severe Parkinsonism. But it was astonishing to hear these same things, these essentially colorblind issues like essentially electronically burning books.
Right. Well, there's two things going on there, because one is the mental and physical condition of Joe Biden, which at this point there's no point in belaboring. And I've been saying for a while on my show, I sense we're going to probably see him max two or three more times after he steps out of the Oval Office. And then there'll be a letter written, sort of like they did with Reagan at the end. And then that will be it. They will say, okay, he did have some stuff. We tried to deal with it. And then eventually more and more rumors will come out about that. But let's put that part aside because that's not really what's important. You're completely right. The tone, and again, putting aside his inability to emote properly and the way his, the whispering with the yelling and all those things, the tone of the speech was so tone deaf relative to where America is going right now
You know, the day after the election, what I said was, you know, Joe Biden has an interesting opportunity because there's, you know, we have the three-plus months from the beginning of November to the middle of January, where we're at right now, where the president-elect hasn't taken office yet, and the outgoing president can really decide how he wants to angle it, how he wants to hand it off.
