It's like Taylor Swift. You are a young, pretty girl. Do you know what the gang members from Venezuela do to young, pretty girls? - It ain't pretty. - Well, Dave Rubin just displayed that disgusting argument on his show, [00:00:17] basically trying to convince Taylor Swift that her endorsement of Kamala Harris over Donald Trump was a mistake. Because I guess she should be worried about Venezuelan gang members raping her. - Hey, don't scroll away. - Come back, come back. [00:00:32] Because before the video continues, we just want to urge you to lend your support to TYT. You power our honest reporting. You do it at t.com/team and we love you for it. Now, following Tuesday night's debate, Taylor Swift did make her long awaited endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, posting this [00:00:51] to her 284 million Instagram followers. I'm guessing that's the reason why there's a lot of attention toward this story, she said. Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven't already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. [00:01:11] As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country. Recently, I was made aware that I of me falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run, was posted to his site. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my [00:01:29] actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth. I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election. Now, the endorsement, as you can imagine, generated a lot of hate [00:01:46] and a lot of criticism from Trump supporters who already had problems with Taylor Swift to begin with. And that definitely included Dave Rubin, who was clearly unhappy with Taylor Swift. Let's watch Taylor Swift after the debate [00:02:04] officially endorsed Kamala Harris. I think we have an image of Taylor. There she is holding a cat. And well, I'm going to just read some of what she wrote there in her very powerful endorsement of Joe Biden. And I'll link where to register and find early voting dates and info [00:02:21] in my story with love and hope. Taylor Swift, childless cat lady every. You know, it's just all confusions that she said there. I don't know what the issues are. She cares about. So Taylor Swift, do you want 15 million illegals here bringing in fentanyl and taking out our cities? Is that is that what you want? Taylor Swift do you want an absolute disaster in the Middle East [00:02:40] that's happening under that lady? That didn't happen under Donald Trump. Is that what you want? Do you want sky high inflation like we have? I'll let you take this junk. So you know, he raises some of the issues that have come up during the Biden administration. [00:02:56] And he feels that these issues will, I guess, continue or be made worse if Kamala Harris gets elected instead of Donald Trump. And so he's trying to convince Taylor Swift to change her mind. Yeah. And if you want to convince someone to change their mind, threaten them with rape. I think that's a really good idea. [00:03:13] And so you just say, hey, listen, if you don't change your mind, the Venezuelan gangs could rape you. I bet she just opens right up, like. Oh, really? Dave, you've got my attention. What other, big ideas do you have for me? So go ahead. [00:03:30] So I wanted to say one more thing about that portion of the tape, because he's like these illegals. So I remember when he was here, he never said illegals. Never once showed any concern about undocumented immigrants, other than to say that he was wanting to make sure they were treated well. [00:03:46] So not only has he apparently changed his mind, changed his mind, for on this issue, but now thinks that we should be like deriding them like the illegals. So which Dave Ruben's the real Dave Rubin. Oh, wait, who's paying him? [00:04:03] Then maybe we know what Dave Ruben's actual opinion is. So you also claim that Taylor Swift's endorsement was just an elaborate plan, and that she's being used as a tool. Now I get it. You're probably worth hundreds and hundreds of. Is she a billionaire? I bet you Taylor Swift's a billionaire, which is. [00:04:20] No, she's got. Oh, sorry. She's only worth a cool 300 bill. So I get it. You can have your armed guards and you can have all of your protection and all of that stuff. So you don't really care about the average person because you are you are an elite and a you are the elite of the elite. [00:04:35] And they are using you as a tool. You know, there's something I would say there's even something more nefarious. She obviously didn't write that statement, probably didn't even look at that statement. But they put that out immediately after the debate. Because what they want to happen there, what they want to happen there, is that they want young girls to be angry at their parents. [00:04:52] That's another piece of this. They are using her as a tool so that when a father comes home from work. And generally conservatives have jobs and he's worked hard all day to put food on the table for his family, and he comes home from work that the daughter will start screaming at him for supporting Donald Trump, [00:05:08] and then the wife will probably start screaming at him, too, because the wife doesn't want the daughter to be upset because they are trying to hatch it away at everything. I, I have no idea what that argument was, but I do know something [00:05:25] about people being used as tools. In fact, Dave Rubin should know a lot about being used as a tool, especially recently as the DOJ indicted two Russian agents who were part [00:05:41] of this massive scandal where they used American content creators like Dave Rubin as a tool for Russian propaganda. Like what? I mean, it's amazing how he's selling himself while pretending to talk about Taylor Swift? [00:05:57] Taylor Swift earned her money. She's one of the most popular people in the world because of her talent. Meanwhile, this mother. I mean, universally known by the left, the right, and everyone in the middle as the most talentless man in media. And so how did he get that mansion in Florida? [00:06:14] ET cetera. It turns out the Russians were giving him $100,000 a video. A video. Okay. And but to be fair, they did give him a bio of a guy who couldn't be googled and didn't seem to exist. [00:06:30] But this guy just loved that the Russians. And he thought that in the videos, they should say that the Russians were right about everything and the Ukrainians were wrong about everything. But they never could could couldn't figure it out. He couldn't put two and two together. So to be fair, to be fair, that whole like, Russian propaganda scandal, [00:06:48] they didn't just focus on content about the war in Ukraine. They wanted like culture war type content creators because the culture wars divide Americans, and that's what they wanted. And so that's that's where Dave Rubin came in. Now, Dave Rubin, there's no evidence indicating that he knew that he was being [00:07:05] used as a tool at the time, but he knows that he was being used as a tool now. So it's like, come on. The other evidence was some rando guy who doesn't exist giving you $100,000 per video. That was another piece of evidence. Okay. And but he's like, well, I was doing this kind of useful tool propaganda [00:07:23] as a career anyway, so I figured they're just paying me a little bit better. And in this video, he's like, she's. She's probably a billionaire. You can't trust those billionaires. Your candidate's a billionaire. Oops. But didn't think that one through, did you, Dave? [00:07:39] - So let's keep going. - He also he pretends to be a billionaire. Yeah, well, I have no doubt that he's a tremendously wealthy. I mean, it's obvious, but let's just move on to what else he had to say in this. Like, this is all about one celebrity deciding to endorse the candidate that he [00:07:56] is not supportive of like this is insane. But he also claimed that Taylor's endorsement was just, oh, I already mentioned that. So it doesn't end there. He also dug deep with some conspiracy theories about this. Let's, I guess, take a look at that idea. Just mentioned to me that Taylor Swift's tour that she's on [00:08:14] was supposed to wrap up, but they've now extended it to go through the election. Do you think that is a coincidence? Right? Like probably not. Also, this thing about that women want to keep their personal lives personal. It's funny because it was you, the Democrats, that were forcing people [00:08:29] to get Covid shots. Right? So he's very concerned about women who might die because they can't get an abortion. Do you know that every abortion involves a death? I don't want to blow people's minds right now, but that actually is true. It's like Taylor Swift. You are a young, pretty girl. Do you know what the gang members from Venezuela do to young, pretty girls? [00:08:48] - It ain't pretty. - You know, I will say that. It's commendable that Dave Rubin is worried about the safety of women. You know, the safety of women against those who might abuse them, whether it be [00:09:03] sexually, physically, because he has grown since he has tweeted this. Let's take a look. It's a photo of women wearing shirts that say Free Palestine. And his comment in regard to that is Hamas wouldn't even rape these cows. [00:09:23] You know? Wow. He seems really respectful. Yeah. Super concerned about women's safety. Yeah. Yeah. That's why he's always talking about who's going to rape them. Who's going to rape them? Oh, I bet she doesn't get raped. I bet she does get raped. Oh, you seem like a really classy guy. And then let's break down his conspiracy theories. [00:09:39] He's like, I wonder why they're continuing the tour. Maybe because it's literally the most successful tour in world history. - I mean, and they'd like to make money. - Yeah, you can respect that, right? If there's one thing you understand, it's wanting to make more money. And if it's a successful tour and she can extend it, she'd make more money. [00:09:58] He's like, I don't get it. What's the tour for? Is it for the Russians? Is it for the Israelis? Who's the tour for? No, Dave, it's for singing. She. People like her talent. She's like, what's talent? I don't I don't get it. So, so capitalism is my explanation for extending the tour. [00:10:15] And then he, all of a sudden is every abortion is a death and a murder or whatever that thing was. He was pro-choice while he was here. Okay. What was your come to Jesus moment on abortion? Come on. Does anybody believe this guy? Really? I mean, but at this point, the answer is no. [00:10:31] Even the right wing make fun of him. Yeah. They do. I know, which is wonderfully pathetic. I enjoy it a lot. And then lastly, I don't want to breeze past his ludicrous conspiracy theory that Taylor Swift is endorsing Kamala Harris because they, whoever they are, [00:10:49] want young girls to yell at their parents. Is that what that was? I couldn't follow it because I just once he said that she was being used as a tool. All I could focus on is the fact that he was used as a tool, and I couldn't focus on anything else, he said. But okay, so that was the argument. Yeah. [00:11:06] And then because he's this is audience capture, he's trying to appeal to his audience, which is which he knows demographically is filled with old white men. Right. And so he's like, oh man, they're going to get your daughter to yell at you. They're going to get your wife to yell at you. [00:11:21] You know, nag, nag, nag with those women. You know what I'm saying, right, guy? That's what that's why they are doing it. That's why Taylor Swift wants your kids to yell at you. Oh, yeah. Boo! Taylor swift. Well, look, I'm here to dispel the notion that young girls, teenagers, [00:11:38] need Taylor Swift to persuade them to yell at their parents. They're going to do it anyway. Okay, so. All right, but look, Dave Rubin isn't the only one who seemed to feel a lot of feelings over Taylor Swift's Endorsement. [00:11:54] In fact, he was like, what kicked it off for Dave Rubin was what Megyn Kelly had to say about it on her program, which, by the way, her show is doing really well. It's doing gangbusters, but she does have these segments where she kind of loses her cool over nonsense like this. [00:12:12] So without further ado, let's take a look. Taylor Swift just endorsed Kamala Harris. Taylor Swift. Yeah, she posted a picture of herself with her cat. Would you look at this? You can. You can, of course. [00:12:27] Like, you can kiss your sales to the Republican audience goodbye, Taylor. Hope you enjoyed them while you had them. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of her running mate, Tim Walsh. I'm allowed to criticize Taylor Swift and I don't give a shit who gets upset. [00:12:42] This is disgusting. She wants to vote Harris Walsh. She can do it all she wants. But to say the reason she's doing it is because of Tim Walz's stance on An LGBTQ. F you. Taylor Swift and f all of the people who want to see these children [00:12:59] have body parts chopped off and watch them sterilized under the age of consent, and then will ride off to their multi gazillion dollar mansions, never to think of them again. Okay. Apparently they got some bad blood. [00:13:15] Hey, Megan, shake it off. - Oh my. - God. Did I just look up Taylor Swift's song so I could do those corny jokes? Yes, I did. - Just please stop. - Yes I did. Thanks, Bart. Okay. Okay. Really? This is the thing. She says she endorsed because Tim Walz believes in LGBTQ rights. [00:13:34] Don't you know we hate those gay people? I mean, we don't we don't. We want your votes. We'll give you tax cuts, but God damn the LGBT. It makes me so enraged. Bring it down. Bring it down. Okay, so, man, that was. She flew off the handle in a way that I did not expect. [00:13:50] I know I caught tremendous feelings over this Taylor Swift thing, which is the most benign thing in the world. It's a celebrity going, hey, I kind of like her, but obviously they think it's going to make a huge impact. That's why they're like, how dare you? And notice that the bullies and the thugs and the right wing [00:14:05] are always like, oh, that's it, nobody's going to buy your songs anymore. Really? She endorsed Joe Biden. They seem like they're still buying, buying, buying all of the things that she does, the concerts. That's why she has to extend the tour, the songs and everything else. And you losers couldn't get anyone to stop listening to her. [00:14:24] And you've been trying this whole time, and we hate that she's popular and we're not. Okay. All right, go cry some more. I just look, this is a general point. It's not just about Taylor Swift. I. I don't know what it is exactly. That makes me not care. [00:14:40] But I don't care about celebrity endorsements at all or honestly, endorsements in general. So like when RFK Jr. And this was a bigger story in my opinion. Right. Like when RFK Jr dropped out of the race because he didn't want to be a spoiler candidate for Donald Trump, and then he proceeded to endorse Donald Trump. [00:14:56] Everyone was like losing their minds about it, or they were super excited about it and I just couldn't get myself to care. Like, not even a little bit. Not even a little bit. And honestly, that would actually have, in my opinion, more of an impact on the election than Taylor Swift would. Now, Taylor Swift has a lot of fans, a lot of young fans, obviously, [00:15:16] but young people, I hate to admit it. That's the demographic that's least likely to show up to vote. So I don't know how much of an impact it's really going to have. But what I do know, this is what I do know for sure. I wouldn't be caught dead having a temper tantrum over a celebrity endorsement. [00:15:32] Yeah, I totally agree. Hey, thanks for watching the video.
