Did Ukraine bombing Russian data centers lead to a collapse in Tucker Carlson’s web traffic? That’s the contention of Ukraine President Volodyrmr Zelensky, defending his bombing spree.
Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report here shares a clip of his talk with Melissa Chen and Winston Marshall about Zelensky’s claim. The background: After some Yandex data centers were destroyed in Russia, there was a noticeable drop in views for Tucker Carlson. Zelensky says this proves how many of Carlson’s views are being generated by Russian bot farms.
Rubin’s two guests have quite the diverse global perspective. Chen is a social media pundit based in Singapore, while Marshall is a former member of the British folk rock band Mumford & Sons. He now has his own political and cultural podcast The Winston Marshall Show.
Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” shares a clip of Democratic Socialists of America leader Frances Gill’s awkward interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum.
MacCallum had Daniel Di Martino, who fled the socialist policies of Venezuela, grill Gill on her knowledge of the damage caused by the Democratic Socialist policies that she proposes.
It’s one of the big secrets out there. There’s actually a solid cadre of conservatives in Hollywood.
They might not convene regularly in public to debate their leftist colleagues. But their views are more moderate or conservative — not at all embracing the many goofball causes of the flaming liberals.
Are there enough of them to keep Hollywood relevant and afloat? That’s among the topics Dave Rubin discusses with Patricia Heaton on this edition of “The Rubin Report.” Heaton remains one of Tinseltown’s few openly conservative performers. She’s done TV and movies, catching her first big break on the TV show “Everybody Loves Raymond.”
Harvard University has reopened an investigation to ascertain the full scope of the relations between Harvard instructor Larry Summers and the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Summers is a former Treasury Secretary during the administration of President Bill Clinton.
Summers has already announced he will step back from making further public appearances and has withdrawn as a member of the board for Open AI.
As part of the probe, Harvard will look into other employees and teachers who had dealings with Epstein to determine what sanctions, if any, are warranted. Some politicians have called for Harvard to sever all ties with Summers, but it remains to be seen if the university will take that step. Here’s more from The New York Post.
(EDITOR’S NOTE:Summers has announced he is leaving his teaching post at Harvard University. It’s not clear if the Harvard probe will continue for other employees.)
Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” shares a DM clip of Hakeem Jeffries’ pathetic attempts to defend Stacey Plaskett’s Jeffrey Epstein connection. Plaskett was serving on the House Intelligence Committee as delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands.
When will we see the Epstein documents? What will be withheld?
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says it will take the U.S. Justice Department about a month to get the files ready for release. Documents will be stripped of images showing child sexual abuse as well as information identifying the names of victims.
Also, there could be sensitive, classified information, especially involving foreign relations, redacted from the documents. Here’s more from NewsNation.
Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” shares a clip of his talk with Shermichael Singleton and Emily Austin about “Shark Tank’s” Kevin O’Leary telling Fox News that Trump’s reaching out to Middle East nations has far more to do with isolating China than anyone realizes.
The focus is on Artificial Intelligence (AI), as the United States, China and the United Arab Emirates are the world’s leaders in that field.
Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary under President Donald Trump, says the administration is working on a clearcut plan that would abolish all federal taxes on income of less than $150,000 annually.
This would not only include earnings, but also tips and Social Security. Roughly 93 percent of all Americans earn less than the $150,000 cutoff, so federal taxes would disappear for these residents.
The goal is to make up for these losses by raising new monies through tariffs on imports. In essence, those shipping goods into the United States would pay for the privilege.
It’s not clear yet if this goal can be achieved, or how quickly it can be implemented. Here’s more from Dave Rubin on The Rubin Report, sharing a clip of Lutnick outlining the plan to CBS News Host Nancy Cordes.
Democrats acted in many vile and pathetic ways in response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address to Congress. But few of the lefties acted as pathetically as U.S. Rep. Al Green, from Texas, who got himself booted out of the hall for his loud and surly responses.
Here, watch as Green gets the axe upon orders of House Speaker Mike Johnson. Here’s more from the Rubin Report.

More with Rubin and Saad.
Iconic ESPN sports journalist Stephen A. Smith blasts Barack Obama, the Kamala Harris campaign and the Democrat Party for taking black voters for granted.
The Rubin Report’s Dave Rubin features a clip of Smith’s fiery response to Barack Obama calling black men sexist for not supporting Harris. Says Stephen A., “Respectfully, President Obama, what you said is not acceptable. Is it possible that the only reason some black folks may not be inclined to vote, or may be a bit disenchanted, or dare I say may go as far as voting for Trump, is it possible that its policy as opposed to mysogyny?” More from The Rubin Report.
