Dave Rubin on Why the Media Is Running Cover for Terrorists, SCOTUS Ruling in Favor of Conversion Therapy, the Podcast Wars, and More

I had the absolute pleasure of talking to Dave Rubin, host of the Dave Rubin Show, and like me, a former lefty. Dave is so smart and has real insight into the topics everyone is discussing. At least three times throughout our discussion, he said things I had just never thought of in that way—such a gift during a conversation.

I asked Dave to explain why he thinks the media is running cover for terrorists, whether it’s their insistence that Iran is winning the war (they aren’t—that’s liberal wishful thinking!) or the Michigan synagogue suicide bomber, who the media tried to portray as the real victim here.

We discussed the media’s Trump Derangement Syndrome, where it comes from and how to fix it.

We talked about Dave’s political evolution and what he might change his mind about in the next 5-10 years.

We discussed the podcast wars, and how the Right’s approach to its loonies is so different from the Left’s.

I got a great batch of questions for Dave from subscribers here—thank you guys so much for those! I barely had to do any work. They were really good.

Here’s the polling we mention, which found that even most Democrats believe we are winning the war:

Finally, apologies for the sound. I’m new to this, as you guys know! I tried my best to clean it up. It will be better next time!

Thank you so much to Dave Rubin for joining me and to you all for submitting questions and for watching.
