All right, what's up guys? I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin Report. Yes, we are once again live at our normal time, 11 a.m. Eastern. It's April 9th, 2025. We are live streaming on Rumble, YouTube and locals. We are getting very, very, very close to passing the 3 million subscriber situation on YouTube. We have never put one dime into advertising this show. This has all been done organically. So I thank you for in

advance, but if you have not subscribed, please do. And apologies, there was no show yesterday.

You know, on Monday I had to leave. We sort of cut it early and then I said we were going to do a

know in there, a couple people. I know a few people that I don't know personally, but I know from Twitter, blah, blah, blah. He took all the questions up top. He wrote everything

and he said, all right, let's start talking about it. And he went on, like, we asked him everything.

People asked him, obviously, about the hostages, about the relationship with America, about
