Seven months into the war with Iran, it's worth remembering the luminaries who weighed in during its opening days, like Dave Rubin, who confidently predicted it would be wrapped up quickly.

Talking about topics he knows absolutely nothing about has always been a staple of Dave Rubin's show. But we've now reached the point where he asks Grok a question, reads Grok's answer live on air, and still doesn't understand it. Incredible stuff.

Dave Rubin will dutifully repeat whatever the administration says. So when Rubio claims diesel would cost three times as much without the Iran war, Dave proudly cosigns. What's the purpose of the show then? Well, he adds his own flair, like claiming Iran killed 70,000-100,000!

Iran war greatest hits volume 2: "I'm not here to insult your intelligence!"

Heartbreaking: Dave Rubin recounts his life-threatening experience on Jubilee.

Many observers would argue the verdict was reached at least a year ago🤔

who told Dave this was a good idea?

Iran war: greatest hits from the last 12 weeks

Dave Rubin dropped some great intel, as always: "It sounds like the Kurds are starting to enter the country with arms to help the people take out the last vestiges of the IRGC"

Dave Rubin: "This is Iranians and you can hear they are chanting 'Bibi Joon,' in Iran they are chanting praise for Benjamin Netanyahu!"

Iran can't have a nuke because then it could threaten global energy through the Strait of Hormuz. But Iran already threatens global energy through the Strait. So the evidence for the future threat is the current threat, which is why we started the war to stop them getting a nuke!

Regime change has had quite the evolution during these last two months: from we'll install the Shah's son, to we just want leadership aligned with U.S. interests, to there are new people, so technically mission accomplished!

Of course, and let's not forget, this is all really about China.

We're really veering into fan fiction territory now. The day before Trump announced an indefinite extension of the Iran ceasefire, Dave Rubin confidently predicted that Iran would be sweating with fear and rushing to the negotiating table before the deadline.

Man vs. Machine, and somehow it's a tie. AI Dave Rubin sounds just like the real Dave, and the accuracy is right there too! Here's AI Dave Rubin explaining how Donald Trump personally saved eight women in Iran from execution with a single phone call.

Dave Rubin asks who else could handle the Iran situation better than Trump? Answer: No one!

Seven weeks into this, and Dave Rubin is still trying to sell the war. He poses the question: Would you rather have high gas prices, or stop an apocalyptic regime from acquiring nukes and threatening the world?

Dave Rubin puts on his thinking cap and discovers that bombing civilian infrastructure might affect civilians: "If you're going to hit civilian infrastructure, how do you make sure it's not going to harm the people but just the regime?"

"Our objectives were taken care of!" What objectives, you may ask? Well, Dave Rubin doesn't know either, but since this isn't a "forever war," it's apparently mission accomplished!

Dave Rubin would like everyone to know that the US isn't the kind of country that hits apartment buildings. No, we take the moral high ground by targeting "critical infrastructure" instead!
