What is Dave Rubin’s main focus at the start of the episode?
Angela, come sit down.
Oh, it's eleven already?
Not for nothin', but he was an hour late the other day.
I love how they do these clever show opens. Previously, on the movie. They're coming for us.
We have a gigantic government budget. You know, we really need to activate that.
What would happen after two minutes on Windows? How about you guys all sign, piece of paper? If China goes ahead with this technology, you waive your ability to get that cancer cure.
What's going on everybody? I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Ruben Report. It is September 17th, 2026. Before I do anything, we saw a ton of comments yesterday. We've been seeing them for the last couple days, but I don't know, something happened yesterday, particularly, about people not getting our videos in their feed. Now, does it have something to do with the position I'm taking on this AI thing? I have no idea. You know. My feelings about conspiracy theories, and generally my my quote that I love the most about all this kind of stuff is Carl Sagan. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. So I don't know if there's little gremlins in your computer. I don't know what's going on. But if you have not subscribed, either on YouTube or Rumble, Spotify, if you're listening, whatever it is, and then particularly on YouTube, there seems to be something going on with YouTube, you gotta tap
The notification bell and say, I think it's notify me of all videos or something like that. Because I think one of the things going on here, and this is certainly not a conspiracy, is that when we take our August off the grid, we just, even though we put up a ton of content, we're not without doing live shows, we just get booted from the algorithm. And then they stop putting you in the feed. And it takes your viewing habits some time to for the algorithm basically to catch up and start feeding you the Videos again. So if you've been watching going, wait a minute, why am I not s getting a notification at 11 a.m. and then you don't realize till noon that we've been live or whatever it might be, if you tap that thing, you can do it.
Want to make one other comment before I dive into the show. And yes, you know, we're mostly covering this AI stuff today, which as I keep saying, I just this story is so rich with all of the things that I care about that we're just gonna just keep hitting it hard. And I really think It's the most important, it's not only the most obviously important political story at the moment, but it's the most important cultural story. And if we're ever going to blaze a trail to a bright and inspirational future, which I actually think we're gonna. Just on one quick personal note for one minute. Uh so you guys know I busted my shoulder AC joint about three, three and a half months ago already, and I'm I've got this crazy collarbone thing happening, and I'm probably gonna have to have surgery, but I can move it.
It's really an aesthetic. The doc said to me the other day, he said, You can go play basketball again, because I kept saying I gotta get out there. So I played ball yesterday for the first time in about three and a half months. And I just had an interest and I didn't play great actually. I didn't play terribly. I hit a couple of shots, whatever. But it was just nice to be out there, see the guys again, you know, laugh it up and work out and sweat and all that. But I was thinking about something That I guess. I'll I'll keep thinking about in my life and see how I can can incorporate into what I do here. About how like at times life can really take things away from you that you love. Like something that I love, love, love, love playing, love doing, love participating in for all the camaraderie, the teamwork, all that stuff.
Like it took it away from me. And then I was just able to get it back. And then I was thinking, but I'm 50, all these people were telling me how much longer can I keep playing so much. Many of my friends don't play anymore because of injuries and everything else. So anyway, I was just thinking about that a lot.
