He was dead ass.
Dead ass means like, yo, really? Want to go get a hamburger at the burger joint? Yo, clock it.
Colonialism directly addresses the systemic roots of health care.
Went to the hospital and I walked in and they were like, we got a white guy, everybody. And they were like throwing cash at me.
How you doing people? I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin Report. It is July 16th, 2026. We have a very fine program for you people. Second half is a rubinreport.locals.com community Q&A. Joseph's got the computer right there. If you want to get a question in on the fly as we live stream, go to rubinreport.locals.com on your desktop machine. Do people still have computers on their desks? or on your laptop machine on your lap, or your iPad, or your phone, or your Apple IIc, or your television, and he'll throw in some extra questions right there. And we got a whole bunch to get to. It's a little all over the place today, but I think you're gonna enjoy it. We're gonna start with the vice president, J.D. Vance.
He was on a little podcast. I don't know if you've heard of this guy, Joe Rogan. Very small program. I wish him well. I hope it all works out for him. And they got into a whole bunch of topics over the course of a couple hours, but I wanted to focus on some of their stuff around what is happening in Los Angeles and really how it eventually, and as we're seeing it happen now, it's kind of scaling all over the country between the election stuff, the homeless stuff, the drug stuff, all the usual stuff, let's put it that way. So first they dive in and JD talks about how last time he was in LA, it reminded him of a third world nation.
Skid Row is now 55 blocks. It was 50 blocks just like a year or two ago. OK. So my first experience with Skid Row was – so Usha used to work at this like very fancy litigation firm in Southern California. Before she was second lady, she was a corporate litigator. So there's a Christmas party in downtown LA. You get to this party. You drive through Skid Row if you follow Google Maps' directions. You get there and it's like this beautiful facility with like fancy food and fancy wine. And then there are armed guards outside of it and these gigantic walls. And I realized when I was there, you know what this reminds me of? This reminds me of going to the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Super security, crazy wealth and privilege and status on the inside and squalor and misery on the outside.
Like it's the first time I'd ever thought America like this part of America is actually more like a third world country than anything that I thought we'd ever become.
Yeah, he's right. I've been there. We didn't hang out on Skid Row too much when we had the operations in LA, but I did have to go downtown every now and again. I actually remember the first time I saw how disastrous Skid Row was. This was probably in 2017. So this is not a recent thing that's been going on. I did the first ever show that Jordan Peterson was doing. He was in my studio with Ben Shapiro that night. At the end of the show, I said to Jordan, I was like, hey, You want me to join you for the show? I'll do a little standup up top, see what happens. He said, come on down. We went, we did the, what was the theater that we did? The Orpheum in downtown LA. And I remember driving to it and you know, we're in suits and feeling great about everything.
I think we're going to do this awesome theater show. And it's the Orpheum. It's really cool. And you drive by and it's just drugs everywhere. We're going to show you some footage from over the last couple of days of what's going on there. But JD is absolutely right. It's not just that it's drugs everywhere and chaos everywhere, but then all of the decent things of which there are some there, because there are still event spaces down there. In LA, you've got, you know, there's basketball stadium, event stadiums, et cetera. Those are behind gates. there's armed guards and everything and to joe's point which i also think is interesting i don't know if that's factually true can we check that he said skid row is 50 blocks and now it's expanded to 50. i didn't think it was that big but the point whether he's completely right on that or not the point is it is expanding why are we allowing this
