What is the opening premise and why does Dave Rubin start with a superhero parody?
The Legion of Doom is now in session. It is the purpose of the Legion to align our infamous forces against the powers of good and defeat them, leaving us the rulers of the world. To do this, we have gathered together the thirteen most ruthless villains on earth. A frigid Captain Cole. Uh The sinister mind of Sinestro. The awesome Bizarro and Solomon Grundy. And the superintelligent computer android Brainiac. Black Manta and Broad the Gorilla. The toy man and the humorous but sinister Riddler. The feminine yet ferocious giganta And the hideous scarecrow. Not to mention the evil genius and brilliant leadership of myself, Lex Luthor.
All right, what's going on, everybody? I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin Report. It is September 23rd, 2026. And if you enjoyed that fun little thing we did there with uh of course that was from Super Friends, probably circa 1982. I just put it up on Twitter. We'll put it up all over social so you can share it. Connor nailed that one. I I feel very strongly about that. It's just perfect. That is what's happening right now. Now at the UN General Assembly, it is a collection of the worst people who are just sitting around complaining about nonsense and problems they created. It's like just if you just took a whole bunch of evil people and were like, let's just go and just bitch and moan about stuff and make the world worse.
That's what the UN General Assembly basically is. We will be covering that. And much more couple wins by Trump and some interesting things happening all across the globe on today's program. But just a reminder, as I said yesterday, because there's been some weird stuff you guys have been telling us about the YouTube notifications, and again, I jumped in the comments yesterday. I'm seeing a lot of stuff about that. You're you click everything, notify me, and you're just not getting the notifications. If you just go to rubenreport.locals.com, absolutely free, create an account. You join the Ruben Report community and you will get notifications. You can get a push notification on your phone. And if you'd like to throw in a couple bucks, you can watch the shows ad-free and you can comment during the show and everything else.
But if you just want the notification, uh you don't have to spend a dime. Happy to do it. And uh it's good to have everybody here. The numbers have been quite excellent lately. Uh so let's just dive in. Uh we're gonna show you a bunch of con a bunch. Oh, you know what? Let's r do these YouTube comments real quick. So I wanted, you know, yesterday on the show, uh I mentioned how I was sort of unsure about the optics of whether Trump, you know, b banning, banning not giving CNN and MSNBC special access to the White House, et cetera. You know, you can ar I get it. They lie about everything. He doesn't want to deal with these people anymore. We have online media now, like an old dinosaur is dying. Fine. But what is
Is the real takeaway? You know, like what do you guys think? That's what I questioned. And I said I would read a couple comments right up top. So Michelle says instead Trump should just not call on them for questions. That would not give them the current narrative. That would be interesting. You just leave them there and never call on them. That would be something like, okay, they can just sit there. Again, this was about special access that they have been granted, but just to utterly Ignore them. And did Trump did point out, you know, they said they were gonna boycott me, and then of course they still show up because they've got nothing without Trump. Uh Dave Wade says, if I was Trump, I would turn the press briefing room into a White House staff bathroom.
I'd throw out the whole pack of snakes and do all my press releases uh direct to the internet. Well, apparently he's got this app now. And yeah, it's just, as I said, it's a it's a dinosaur. It's an old way of looking at the world that you need these jobs. Giant press Junkets outlets to cover the president and have microphones in his face and everything else. And when you think back to the fact that at one point he was then taken off all of social media, you can't blame the guy for wanting direct access to the people.
