Dave Rubin, Sage Steele, and Russell Brand of the Actual Friends podcast react to Trump's viral F-bomb during the Israel-Iran ceasefire and debate when presidential profanity goes too far; discuss Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani's NYC mayoral primary win and what it means for cities, populism, and Jewish voters; break down the spread of fake AI war footage and how online information is eroding public trust; reflect on decentralization, community, and how the digital future might send us back to our roots; and close with Florida jokes, "freedom tax" ideas, and a story about meeting Sylvester Stallone. What are your thoughts on Russell's swim trunks? We think they're great. 0:00 Intro 1:44 Wedding Preparations and Fashion Debate 4:50 Trump's F-Bomb and Political Commentary 18:45 Urban vs. Rural: Diverging Futures 19:42 Radical Politics and Jewish Exodus 21:34 The Illusion of Free Programs 26:03 AI, Trust, and Future Realities ____ SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR ACTUAL FRIENDS: @actualfriends @RubinReport @TheSageSteeleShow @RussellBrand ____ FOLLOW YOUR ACTUAL FRIENDS: https://x.com/ActualFriendsVE https://x.com/RubinReport https://x.com/sagesteele ____ Grab Dave Rubin's tequila COPAL here: https://drinkcopal.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0...
