    Fmr. SecDef Shocks Bill Maher with How Woke Military Has Become

    enApril 01, 2024

    Podcast Summary

    • Trans Visibility Day and Christian TargetingThe left's focus on transgender issues and declaring Easter Sunday as Trans Visibility Day raises concerns about targeting Christians, while a 'woke' military diverts resources and causes division.

      The discussion on this episode of The Rubin Report revolves around the growing influence of transgender issues in society, particularly in relation to Easter Sunday being declared as Trans Visibility Day by high-ranking government officials. Dave Rubin expresses his concern that the left is targeting Christians, following their previous focus on the Jewish community. Mark Esper, former US Secretary of Defense, was asked about the impact of a "woke" military on readiness, and he acknowledged that while it's not as extreme as the right portrays, it does take resources away from troops and further divides the population. The episode highlights the potential consequences of political agendas infiltrating military training and preparation.

    • DEI Initiatives: Balancing Core Mission and DiversityOveremphasizing DEI initiatives can lead to resource misallocation, potential morale issues, and unintended consequences. Maintaining focus on core objectives is crucial.

      The prioritization of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in various institutions, including the military, can distract from the core mission and create unnecessary divisions. According to Vesper, this focus on DEI can lead to the misallocation of resources and time, potentially undermining morale and readiness. The discussion also touched upon the controversy surrounding the Biden Administration's proclamation of Transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday, which led to confusion and controversy. Critics argue that the administration's focus on this issue, rather than recognizing Easter, could be seen as a distraction. Overall, the conversation emphasized the importance of maintaining focus on the primary objectives of an organization while acknowledging the potential unintended consequences of overemphasizing DEI initiatives.

    • Biden Administration Declares Easter Sunday as Trans Visibility DayThe Biden administration celebrated Trans Visibility Day during Easter Sunday, emphasizing support for transgender students while critics argue it's inappropriate and potentially harmful.

      During Easter Sunday, the Biden administration declared it as Trans Visibility Day, highlighting the importance of recognizing and celebrating the transgender community. The administration's message was to assure transgender students that they are seen, supported, and celebrated. However, the controversy lies in the timing and potential influence on young children, with concerns over the social contagion effect and the irreversible physical changes that come with transitioning. Critics argue that the government's push towards transgender issues in children is inappropriate and potentially harmful. Meanwhile, supporters emphasize the need for respect, connection, and protection for the transgender community, who face discrimination and struggles for recognition. The debate continues on the role of the government in promoting transgender rights and the impact on society as a whole.

    • Push for Transgender Agenda and Religious ConflictsThe Democratic party and certain politicians are promoting the transgender agenda, causing religious conflicts, with some questioning the readiness of children to make such decisions and expressing concerns about potential health risks, while radical groups disrupt religious services.

      There is a significant push from the Democratic party and certain politicians to promote the transgender agenda, which some argue may not be in the best interest of all involved. This push has been seen in various forms, from promoting transgender day of visibility on religious holidays to ordering landmarks to be lit up in transgender flag colors. Some argue that those who question the readiness of children to make such decisions or express concerns about potential health risks are being labeled as haters. Meanwhile, there have been reports of disruptions to religious services, including Easter services at Saint Patrick's Cathedral, by radical groups. Some commentators have noted that this push for transgender visibility coincides with what they see as an attack on religious communities, particularly Jews and Christians. The question being raised is why this push is happening and what the motivations behind it are.

    • Political Climate Sparks Controversy and Concerns Over Government Actions and PrivacyThe political climate is causing tension and controversy, with concerns over government actions, digital currencies, and protecting personal values and wealth through physical gold and silver.

      The current political climate is causing tension and controversy, particularly regarding social issues and the role of government in people's lives. The discussion touched on the administration's actions, such as attacking certain groups and promoting specific agendas on significant holidays, which has sparked strong reactions from various communities. Additionally, the emergence of digital currencies and potential government control over financial transactions is a concern for those seeking to protect their privacy and liberty. The speaker urged listeners to consider diversifying their wealth with physical gold and silver, and emphasized the importance of standing up for one's values and beliefs, regardless of political affiliations.

    • Protecting God-given rights and societal foundationsUphold God-given rights, guard against intolerance, and protect societal foundations to preserve freedom and prevent societal collapse.

      The speaker is emphasizing the importance of upholding our God-given rights and the dangers of losing touch with the founding principles of our society, which are rooted in a covenant with God and each other. He argues that the government's role is to protect these rights, and if it fails to do so, society may collapse. The speaker also warns against the dangers of intolerance and the erosion of freedoms, using the example of how the left's tolerance of intolerance has led to the current state of the Democrat party. He encourages individuals to consider what they will be tolerant of and to take action to protect their rights and the foundations of their society.

    • The roles of religion, government, and personal responsibility in communitiesMayor Eric Adams' baptism sparks debate about government and faith, while immigration policies and their impact on cities remain contentious. Consider researching these complex issues to form your own opinion, and try Relaxium Sleep for better sleep.

      There's a ongoing debate about the roles of religion, government, and personal responsibility. On one hand, some individuals are seeking employment and bettering their lives. On the other hand, there are concerns about government policies and their impact on cities and communities. For instance, the mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, recently underwent a baptism ceremony. While some see this as a positive sign, others criticize him for his handling of the city and his perceived belief in putting government above God. Additionally, there's a contentious issue regarding immigration and sanctuary cities, with some arguing that these policies lead to an influx of issues such as violence and strain on resources. The speaker encourages listeners to research and form their own opinions on these complex matters. In the meantime, Relaxium Sleep offers a risk-free trial for those interested in improving their sleep.

    • New York City's Mokify program saves money and reduces food waste for migrantsThe Mokify program, run by a black-owned company, saves NYC $7M annually by giving food cards to migrants, keeping money within the community, and eliminating food waste.

      The New York City government implemented a new food program to reduce food waste and save money by giving food cards to migrants instead of providing them with meals directly. This program, named Mokify, is run by a black-owned company and allows recipients to purchase food and baby supplies only. The initiative saves $7 million annually, keeps money within the community, and eliminates food waste. However, some critics argue that there is a law requiring the government to feed migrants, but they also question the legality of allowing them to stay in the country. The conversation also touched on the topic of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and the criticism of certain media figures for their approaches to the issue. The speakers accused some individuals of exploiting the concept of DEI to push divisive agendas and labeling opponents as racists.

    • Former Republican leader's controversial statements about Baltimore mayorA former Republican leader's comments about Baltimore's young black mayor sparked debate, with accusations of fear-mongering and racial bias. He criticized the mayor's policies and the city's crime situation, suggesting people leave. He also made alarmist comments about potential consequences if a certain political figure is re-elected.

      The discussion revolves around the controversial statements made by a figure, who is a former Republican leader, regarding Baltimore's mayor, who is a young black man. The figure implied that the mayor's purpose in life is to make white people afraid due to his race and his commitment to his heritage. The figure also criticized the mayor's policies and the crime situation in Baltimore, suggesting that people should leave the city. Additionally, the figure, who now works for MSNBC, made alarmist comments about potential consequences if a certain political figure is re-elected. The conversation highlights the complex and often contentious issues surrounding race, politics, and crime in America. It's important to note that the statements made by the figures involved should be considered in the broader context of their political affiliations and the media outlets they represent.

    • Political Climate Reaches Boiling PointBoth sides in US politics are escalating rhetoric and actions, with cities experiencing unrest, threats of concentration camps, and divisive media. Unconventional political choices and volatile climate may hinder unity and progress.

      The political discourse in the United States has reached a boiling point, with both sides escalating their rhetoric and actions. During the summer of love under the Trump administration, cities experienced violence and unrest, and Trump did not intervene with the National Guard. Now, as the mayors of major cities warn of potential chaos if the current president is not re-elected, they are labeling opponents as racist and threatening the use of concentration camps. The media, too, is becoming increasingly divisive, with emotional breakdowns and threats towards judges and their families. In response, some politicians, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are turning to unconventional choices for their running mates, like Nicole Shanahan, who has a history of donating to leftist causes and investing in criminal justice policy. The political climate is becoming increasingly volatile, and both sides are digging in their heels, leading to a potential loss for unity and progress in the country.

    • RFK's Vice President Choice and its Political ImplicationsRFK's decision to align with a far-left vice president could sway votes, but also risks fueling cynicism and division. RFK urged for calmness and introspection amidst political chaos.

      During the political discourse on The View, it was discussed how RFK's choice of a far-left vice president might take votes from Joe Biden. RFK's decision to align with a more progressive candidate could potentially draw support from both the right and left, leaving the outcome uncertain. However, some are concerned that this could give the impression that elections can be bought, further fueling cynicism and division. Amidst the chaos and fear-mongering, RFK offered a moment of reflection, sharing a biblical verse about finding peace and stillness in the face of adversity. He encouraged the audience to consider the importance of spiritual enlightenment and the potential dangers of being overly reactive and consumed by fear. In essence, RFK's message was a call for calmness and introspection in the midst of political turmoil.

    • Examining motivations and authenticityConsider the sincerity of our actions and ensure they align with genuine compassion and love, rather than self-interest or hidden agendas. Strengthen personal belief systems to withstand societal chaos.

      It's important to examine our motivations behind our actions and ensure they align with genuine compassion and love, rather than self-serving behavior or hidden agendas. Jordan Peterson's perspective on not using God's name in vain goes beyond avoiding swearing and instead encourages authenticity and humility. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of having a strong personal belief system to stand against the corruption and chaos in society, as we are currently in an existential war. New York City was used as a metaphor for the diverse and complex nature of America. The Rubin Report is a daily show where viewers can engage in thought-provoking discussions on various topics.

    A Conservative's View on Democrats' Biggest Weakness

    A Conservative's View on Democrats' Biggest Weakness

    “There is definitely a contest for the future of the center right,” says Reihan Salam, the president of the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank. In his telling, one side in this contest is “deeply pessimistic about the prospect of a diversifying America, explicitly anti-urban and increasingly willing to embrace redistribution and centralized power,” more so than conservatism before Donald Trump. This populist right has received a lot of attention since Trump’s election, and we’ve done other shows to try to understand it.

    But Salam is advancing a very different set of ideas with a very different theory of the electorate. He’s identified what he sees as a core fissure between the progressive elites who run the Democratic Party and the working-class voters of color who make up a large part of its base — particularly on issues of race and gender. And he believes that by putting forward an “urban conservative” agenda centered on education, housing and public safety, Republicans can exploit those internal cleavages and begin to win over demographics that have been central to the Democratic coalition.

    So for the final episode in our “The Rising Right” series, I wanted to use Salam’s thoughts to explore this alternate path for the American right. We discuss why the Republican Party has turned against major cities, whether antiracism is the right framework for addressing racial inequality, why he believes that children of Latino and Asian immigrants could become a core G.O.P. constituency, the difference between antiracism and “antiracialism,” the tactics of the anti-critical-race-theory movement, why he thinks there’s been an “overcorrection” on the right in favor of state power and redistribution, what a supply-side conservatism beyond just tax cuts could look like, why he believes we could be entering an era of “fiscal constraints” that could radically reshape policymaking on both the left and right and more.
