The Manuel Fontes Show

Dave Rubin from the Rubin Report appeared on an episode of Surrounded from the YouTube channel Jubilee but didn’t seem to perform well and looked like he could use some coaching.

In this jam-packed Friday episode, I’ve hit a bit of marginal internet fame after Rachel Wilson, wife of the great Andrew Wilson, responded to my post—and things quickly went off the rails. I refused to get caught in a typing war, so I took some time here to address it. From there, I shifted to a judge tossing out the Abrego case, to Dave Smith being, well, Dave Smith, to James Murdoch buying the Vox podcast network. I also sprinkled in some Brian Tyler Cohen and his self-own, Trump indicting 94-year-old Raul Castro, ICE raids failing to create American jobs, EA pushing back on the Xbox family plan, and, finally, a little bit of sports talk.

After a long rant about the choices Americans make—like complaining about a price hike at McDonald’s while booking a vacation, or old actors clinging to their careers instead of retiring—we hear that Russia is in trouble over the war in Ukraine, and China isn’t happy about the cost of Russian gas pipelines. Meanwhile, Trump criticizes Bibi over the war with Iran, even though everyone says Israel is calling the shots.   Articles: McDonald’s $2.50 McDouble sparks backlash over past price hikes Dolph Lundgren reunites with new He-Man at premiere Schwarzenegger to film 'King Conan' sequel in 2027 Nicolas Cage says he nearly played Green Goblin Putin leaves China without pipeline deal as ties tested Russian lawmaker urges war's end as economy falters The King Of Iran Talks About What Would Happen If It Fell To Islamic Regime | Watch Iran moves to place $58M bounty on Donald Trump after Khamenei's death | Watch Trump, Netanyahu hold testy call over Iran Israel’s parliament has dissolved.

Isaiah Martin, an internet political commentator, claims that blue states are better than red states, and I enjoy challenging that idea.
