Dave Rubin Claims Ro Khanna's Young Children Own Three Ohio Golf Courses Through Trusts
"Representative Ro Kana's young children hold ownership stakes in three private golf clubs in Ohio through family trusts. The Sand Ridge Golf Club in Chardan, Ohio. The Mayfield Country Club in South Elude uh what is that? How do you Ulid Ohio and uh sorry my glass I can't see. And Barington Golf Club in Aurora, Ohio. These exclusive clubs require initiation fees reported to be as high as $45,000."
About this episode
Dave Rubin delivers a sharp critique of the Democratic Party's direction in this episode of The Rubin Report, arguing the party is in "freefall" as it embraces what he characterizes as radical socialist and anti-American elements. The primary focus is on Democratic leaders' responses to the election of DSA-backed New York Congresswoman Zorhan Mandani, who delivered a controversial July 4th speech. Rubin particularly targets Representative Ro Khanna, worth an estimated $230 million, for praising Mandani while allegedly maintaining significant family wealth through golf course ownership stakes held by his young children. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro receives qualified praise from Rubin for stating the Democratic Party needs "a battle over what we believe in" and distancing himself from Mandani's views on prison abolition and open borders, though Rubin expresses skepticism about mainstream Democrats' willingness to confront their party's progressive wing. Rubin argues that radical candidates are succeeding not through majority support but through superior organization and turnout in low-participation elections, noting Mandani won with just 32,000 votes in a district with 459,000 registered voters. The episode frames the Democratic Party's internal struggle as a battle between moderate establishment figures like Shapiro and Khanna versus an increasingly dominant socialist faction that Rubin describes as "gender queer jihadis" and "Islamists" who are "committed to destroying" American institutions.
