Sen. Marco Rubio and AOC are on a collision course with each other in the latest episode of RUMBLE. Plus, Josephine Golden and Coe Golden get into a heated exchange about a raccoon, and Geraldine Vanderbilt has a run-in with her own pet raccoon.
00:06:11.000We have hashtag MeToo, all these things, right, that have vilified conservatives.
00:06:15.000But in Europe, we actually just had a man who was killed, beaten to death by antifa radical, not even just antipha thugs.
00:06:24.000And the way the media is trying to paint it, the same media who, by the way, claim that they have more freedom of the press in Europe, they have declared you the enemy.
00:06:31.000And the way they justify it, you're a right-wing extremist.
00:06:34.000We'll explain to you the ins and outs and why this person wasn't extreme in any way.
00:06:38.000Also, Europe's feminists look different from our feminists.
00:08:11.000I can tell you this, I'm dumber now after having spoken with you rather than watching my regularly scheduled programming, which you just fing interrupted.
00:08:20.000You gonna take care of the raccoon or not, Colin?
00:12:21.000Black history facts, because to know the history is to not repeat it.
00:12:25.000In some cases, repeat it because they're good facts.
00:12:28.000Number one, Michael Jordan is the only player in NBA history to win MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and scoring title in the same season.
00:14:11.000It seemed now at first glance, it seems silly, but the silver lining is the, of course, ultra-Orthodox Jewish men turn the situation into Israel's new top-selling board game.
00:16:29.000beyond that some tiktokers i'm sure you can guess who had uh to take this chance to give their unhinged takes on the holiday so here first is a business influencer who um well first here's what i want this is the asian version of sort of feminists like women checking out of the dating pool But I appreciate the honesty.
00:18:15.000Andrew, this is a self-described real lover describing why Valentine's Day doesn't promote real love, which honestly, like, okay, that premise we could be on board with, and then they screw it up.
00:18:25.000As a real lover, I don't really like Valentine's Day.
00:18:28.000The problem I have with the stereotypical Valentine's Day narrative is it promotes romantic love as the highest form of love.
00:18:35.000Being in love romantically is pretty epic.
00:18:37.000But sometimes we forget about the other forms of love that can fulfill you in ways that a romantic love never could.
00:18:43.000And not that romantic love isn't important and deeply fulfilling, but rather it can be more fulfilling when we also seek other forms of love.
00:18:51.000Valentine's Day can also promote unhealthy navigation in relationships, especially for straight women.
00:18:56.000A lot of women who look forward to Valentine's Day is a lot of people.
00:18:58.000Doesn't she have a grandma on the woods to go see?
00:19:00.000Often are in relationships that make them crave this type of special day.
00:19:04.000Valentine's Day can be quite challenging for some because they feel left out.
00:19:08.000And this is the problem that I have with the stereotypical Valentine's Day narrative.
00:19:12.000It promotes romantic love as the highest form of love.
00:19:15.000Not to mention that Valentine's Day is literally a capitalistic scheme.
00:20:56.000I made the plans, but my boyfriend's paying for them.
00:20:58.000But I'm non-binary, so it's not in like a gender norms patriarchal kind of way.
00:21:02.000It's just like a he has a job with health insurance kind of way.
00:21:05.000And I have a very loose definition of a job right now.
00:21:08.000And yeah, I said, boyfriend, a lot of people online are surprised that I am also into guys despite having never claimed to be only into women.
00:23:08.000So if you're in a sex-sex marriage, then the intercourse that you are forcing yourself to have is going to feel more like going through the motions.
00:23:15.000It's going to feel more high-intensity in the way that perhaps you at your job is going to feel.
00:23:22.000The only thing worse than being in a monogamous person.
00:23:24.000Let me guess you're not okay with Valentine's Day is being in multiple polyamorous relationships.
00:27:01.000They all had AIDS because they were all sleeping with each other and they were all doing drugs with dirty needles and they would bury another trans with AIDS and I'd be like, oh my gosh, this is such a beautiful soul.
00:28:33.000I'm just like, there's so much suffering today.
00:28:36.000He walks into Colts Zone and puts extra money in the dip jar, so they have to sing to these depressed women getting their slab of candy, ice cream.
00:28:58.000Because wherever you find loneliness, it can be Valentine's Day.
00:29:02.000So speaking of bitches, let's go to Munich.
00:29:07.000This was happening this weekend, but I think what's most important here, the takeaway is that it really shows the two stark contrast in visions for the future of the West, or as AOC would refer to it, a failed civilization.
00:29:20.000So Marco Rubio, he made it pretty clear that we have made some missteps, that we thought a lot of human nature's problems had been solved, and that we need to be really clear in charting our course forward, and that the United States can do it without Europe, but we'd like to do it with them.
00:29:37.000AOC was unable to answer questions and complained about international classism.
00:29:43.000Then you also have, of course, the Euro trash rambling.
00:29:51.000But he started by sort of just addressing and criticizing the thinking that has dominated a lot of the Western world, which has led to our societal suicide since the end of the Cold War.
00:30:04.000That infamous wall that had cleaved this nation into two came down, and with it, an evil empire.
00:30:10.000And the East and West became one again.
00:30:14.000But the euphoria of this triumph led us to a dangerous delusion that we had entered, quote, the end of history.
00:30:23.000That every nation would now be a liberal democracy.
00:30:26.000That the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood.
00:30:32.000That the rules-based global order, an overused term, would now replace the national interest.
00:30:39.000And that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world.
00:30:57.000That's so important because you guys comment if you were raised in public schools.
00:31:00.000How many of you had the we are the world poster with all the kids holding hands and all the flags?
00:31:05.000And I remember as a kid just looking, well, wait a second, doesn't that one flag, like, isn't that a communist country?
00:31:11.000Didn't that one flag, like, aren't they currently engaged in a genocide?
00:31:15.000We thought this was really, we were raised in the era of we are all one, we are all humanity.
00:31:20.000And it sounds nice to a child until you realize that cannot work.
00:31:25.000And even conservatives, I would say there was a sort of a real libertarian phase where we thought, well, free trade is going to bring the rest of the world into the, it can't.
00:31:33.000First off, we know that there is no such thing as free trade when you look at these other nations.
00:31:37.000And we also realize that some of these nations simply don't want prosperity for their own people.
00:31:52.000So you have Fukuyama basically kind of championed this.
00:31:55.000I think it was the early 90s where he wrote his book that kind of famously championed that.
00:31:58.000But at the same time, Huntington wrote a book that was actually correct called Class of Civilizations and basically saying, hey, no, that's not going to happen.
00:32:06.000You're ignoring human history, like Marco Rubio said.
00:32:09.000You're also ignoring just the reality of how we deal with one another with countries that don't have the same goals and don't have the same aspirations.
00:32:16.000And for some reason, we don't look back at China and go, yeah, that didn't work at all because this, the China strategy was basically like, if we just start doing business with them, they will become a democracy.
00:32:27.000They will come into the new world and they'll be like us.
00:32:30.000Well, they came into the new world all right, but they took advantage of us.
00:33:24.000They were scalping the women and children.
00:33:26.000Also, you want to know how you know that this can't work?
00:33:28.000When they actually recorded that we are the world, they couldn't even get all of the celebrities in one room because many of them hated each other.
00:33:36.000So they'd have to come in and tell me, ah, Springsteen can't be with so-and-so and so on.
00:33:40.000Like, you think you're going to get countries to do that?
00:33:44.000And then Rubio went on to discuss and really kind of not just discuss, but this is sort of, you know, and actually this came from an Orthodox book that I read, you know, to evangelize what that means.
00:33:56.000It doesn't just mean, hey, good news, Jesus is great.
00:34:02.000Here's what you get out of this, but these are the expectations.
00:34:04.000Rubio evangelized to Europe on their ties to America and how we want them to be a part of it, but what that actually looks like and the prerequisites.
00:34:15.000In a pursuit of a world without borders, we opened our doors to an unprecedented wave of mass migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our culture, and the future of our people.
00:34:33.000Under President Trump, the United States of America will once again take on the task of renewal and restoration, driven by a vision of a future as proud, as sovereign, and as vital as our civilization's past.
00:34:48.000And while we are prepared, if necessary, to do this alone, it is our preference and it is our hope to do this together with you, our friends here in Europe.
00:35:01.000Because the two great wars of the last century serve for us as history's constant reminder that ultimately our destiny is and will always be intertwined with yours.
00:35:28.000Because we know that the fate of Europe will never be irrelevant to our own.
00:35:36.000The reason that I think that was so well done is because he gave the reason and the non-negotiable and sort of the red line.
00:35:44.000He set it up with, you know, opened up to wave after wave of mass migration, which has been detrimental.
00:35:50.000He's saying, we're not going to do that.
00:35:52.000We are going to move forward in a way that benefits our people.
00:35:55.000And we would love for Europe to do that as well.
00:35:58.000We'd rather do it with you, but we will do it without you if that is your expectation.
00:36:19.000They started opening up the borders first to let mass migration happen, didn't do anything about it, and you see it just running rampant all over Europe.
00:36:27.000And the citizens are like, what the hell are you doing?
00:36:29.000And at this point, for him to say that, to pick that one issue to bring up and then to tie it back to us, I think this was like, hey, listen, we will do this alone, but we don't need to do this alone.
00:38:07.000A great civilization that has every reason to be proud of its history, confident of its future, and aims to always be the master of its own economic and political destiny.
00:38:19.000That's why the left can't stand what he said.
00:38:21.000A nation that has every reason to be proud.
00:39:34.000Yeah, I would say it promotes cooperation because if you go into a negotiation assuming that the other party is thinking of their nation in the utmost importance, then you know where you could start a negotiation.
00:39:45.000Well, if you have a presupposition between the two, the second you enter into the negotiation table, you're like, these people are trying to do what's best for their people.
00:39:52.000We're trying to do what's best for ours.
00:40:34.000I mean, you look at where they are on social issues, the silencing of the press, the silencing of political opposition, allying themselves with China.
00:40:46.000Well, we don't really know what their values are because it's all determined by a poll in a parliamentary system and scheming.
00:40:51.000So that's why this is so important for people to understand.
00:40:54.000And what's funny is the left will conflate nationalism with white or ultra-white nationalism.
00:40:59.000They'll conflate the two, act as though they are the same, but then somehow try and sell you that socialism and communism aren't the same thing.
00:41:05.000If you ask them to explain the difference, they really can't.
00:41:10.000But they expect nuance for their positions, don't they?
00:42:55.000Listen, I think Rubio, I think a Rubio type right now is needed in the next administration as well, whether he's in the vice presidential role, president, or stays right where he is.
00:44:17.000He was like, I don't know what you want me to say about these people.
00:44:21.000You can just see he's mentally checked out of trying to find common ground.
00:44:25.000If he can find a good presence on stage when he's debating with his own party and he doesn't get kow-towed, he doesn't get kind of because they do before they were just kind of looking, he kind of shrinked back a little bit.
00:45:32.000I believe the Mexicans and descendants of African enslaved peoples would like to have a word.
00:45:40.000They want to take this mantle of culture.
00:45:42.000At the end of the day, though, is you know, it is very thin.
00:45:49.000And so the response that we have to have is, again, it's material, it's class-based, it's common interest.
00:45:56.000A lot of what we talk about when we talk about a class-based internationalist perspective also means ending the hypocrisy towards the global south.
00:46:09.000I think what we identified is that in a rules-based order, hypocrisy is vulnerability.
00:46:17.000And so I think what we are seeking is a return to a rules-based order that eliminates the hypocrisies around when, too often in the West, we'd look the other way for inconvenient populations to act out these paradoxes.
00:47:39.000So she's strictly, she's looking at everything from a strictly class and materialistic base.
00:47:44.000And she's claiming that the people who are not looking at everything from a materialist base, but are still living as though they do, are hypocrites.
00:48:28.000I mean, I don't know how you count necessarily Puerto Ricans, but she whined about the U.S. taking out Maduro and also messed up some geography.
00:48:35.000We look at what happened in Venezuela, for example.
00:50:21.000What we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that point.
00:50:27.000And we want to make sure that we are moving in all of our economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise.
00:51:01.000In this case, it's like, this is the problem with people acting as though everything has nuance, because in the left, you can get away with not giving an actual answer.
00:51:08.000You can get away with not giving an actual answer on when human life begins.
00:52:33.000So this next lady, she's from Estonia, Kaja Kalis.
00:52:37.000She is the VP of the European Commission.
00:52:40.000She actually decided to take a jab at Rubio because I don't know if you know this, but these other countries, they have far more press freedom.
00:52:49.000I will, of course, disabuse you of that notion afterward, but here it's straight from the horse face mouth.
00:52:52.000When we listened to Marco Ruby yesterday, he did say we need Europe to help the United States save the West.
00:52:59.000So my question is, who needs saving from who?
00:53:02.000And how did you interpret that speech yesterday?
00:53:06.000For me, every time I hear this European bashing, it's very in fashion right now.
00:53:13.000So I'm thinking of what is the alternative.
00:53:16.000And really, I mean, all the best or good things that we have gotten from Europe and all the good things that Europe actually presents.
00:53:25.000When I go to the world, I see, you know, countries looking at us because we are representing the values that still are high.
00:53:35.000I mean, we are, you know, pushing humanity forward, trying to, you know, defend human rights and all this, which is actually bringing also prosperity for people.
00:53:48.000So that's why I'm trying to believe these accusations.
00:53:53.000You know, coming from a country that is number two in the press freedom index, hearing criticism regarding press freedom coming from a country that is 58 on this list, it's interesting.
00:55:11.000Number two, RSF's their decision-making panel is full of hard, hard left-wing ideologues.
00:55:17.000So Thibault Prutin is the RSF general director, wrote this article titled, On the Field of Ruins That is the Election of Donald Trump, the news media must rethink their role.
00:55:35.000Another key fact, the RSF is almost entirely funded by left-wing institutions and NGOs, like, but not limited to, the European Union, the French government, George Soros's Open Societies Foundation, the National Endowment for Democracy.
00:55:50.000And let's look and say, okay, so they have us ranked 58th right now.
00:55:54.000All right, we can look at the other countries who are ranked above the United States, right?
00:56:38.000You should wish you had press like us.
00:56:42.000They have unbelievably strict hate speech laws defined as any communication that is made public with the intention or likelihood of being threatening or abusive had likely to stir up hatred against people because of their race, color, nationality, religion, ethnic or national origin, or membership of the traveler community.
00:58:18.000In 2026, journalists fled the country after the government harassed them for reporting on this Dutch drug kingpin connected to the president.
00:58:24.000In 2023, a Canadian journalist was killed under incredibly suspicious circumstances covering an attempted coup.
00:58:30.000From 96 to 2002, 15 journalists were killed covering their civil war.
00:58:34.000This is the place where Blood Diamond was set, for God's sake.
00:58:48.000Even if you really don't like the U.S., even if you don't like that X allows people to criticize anybody so people go to Blue Sky, okay, even if you don't like that CNN and MSNBC is now MS Now because Luke Gehrig's tomorrow was taken, if you don't like that their ratings are in the crapper, people here still have the choice.
00:59:06.000I don't think there is any press that denigrates their president more than the American press.
00:59:14.000People certainly aren't being murdered.
00:59:17.000I mean, dozens and dozens as a country that is ranked above us.
00:59:20.000Can you objectively look at that and go, okay, we no longer can give this list any credence?
00:59:25.000And we did a test of how free the press really is around the world, which brings us to our on-the-ground correspondent, Thomas Finnegan, who went to and is live from Egypt.
01:00:12.000I remember watching people extol the virtues of Canadian healthcare and seeing that film from Michael Moore, Sicko, right, where Cuba was ranked above the United States.
01:00:20.000So she's talking about the RSF's Freedom of the Press Index.
01:00:23.000You can now take this, check the references, apply it to all of these talking points.
01:00:28.000In 2019, they had the Healthiest Countries Index.
01:00:30.000Bloomberg ranked Cuba higher than the United States.
01:00:34.000Yes, the place where an entire month's salary may be able to buy you a bar of soap.
01:00:40.000The 2025 Global Peace Index, they ranked the United States 128th.
01:02:39.000I bet they say you can't slander people.
01:02:42.000Otherwise, that's not real press freedom.
01:02:44.000And it's like, well, okay, but in the United States, you can call Trump the Cheeto man, say the most horrible things about him that you want to say.
01:03:18.000He was, and before, it's a heartbreaking story.
01:03:23.000And it mirrors what you guys lived in real time that I think a lot of people have moved on from too quickly when Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
01:03:30.000And we went from, yeah, but he kind of deserved it, and people trotted out the lies to desecrating, right, vandalizing every single memorial, every single memorial in a major city.
01:03:42.000It was either spit on, you had protesters, you had people destroying it.
01:03:46.000And we moved on from that where I think it was way too fast.
01:03:50.000You need to understand that these people, meaning the left, they want you dead.
01:03:55.000They will justify it once you're dead.
01:03:57.000They'll say that they aren't, but they will because they'll say, well, you know, maybe if he hadn't whatever, burned a Quran.
01:06:20.000The French media describes them as far right.
01:06:22.000They write, they bear the name of the Greek goddess of vengeance and specialize in direct action, created in 2019 the Nemesis Collective, which identifies as feminist, consistently blames immigrants and Muslims for sexual violence.
01:06:36.000That would be terrible if immigrants and Muslims weren't committing the lion's share of sexual violence.
01:06:42.000By the way, I didn't realize we went late.
01:06:44.000You can go and watch Andrew Crucible on YouTube, the extravaganza here on Rumble 5 p.m. Eastern every night.
01:06:50.000And if you're not a member, hey, we're going to continue on Rumble Premium here.
01:06:52.000We're going to play Pokemon a racial schlur.
