If you haven't seen it, I strongly recommend it for anyone here. Dave is a left-leaning libertarian, liberal in the old-school sense, but also has some conservative views (he's a really interesting mix and very rational) and his whole show is about debating, discussing, and exchanging ideas. He'll pretty much have anyone on there and has had a very good, very diverse mix of guests on from all across the political spectrum. I think several people here might enjoy it.

I watched it. Honestly, I was distracted by the Snelling-type chart behind him that said Los Angeles, Westwood, etc. My take was that he was telling liberal types to discuss instead of violence and denial.

Wow, you watched every episode in the hour since I posted that link?
That's impressive.
Or, do you mean you just watched his short introductory vid, saw some poster on the wall, and then clicked it off because that was all the info you needed?
I encourage people who like intellectual discussions to give it a try. He has lots of interview with people like Stephen Fry, Sam Harris, John McCain, Maajid Nawaz, Lawrence Kraus, Michael Steele, etc.

Not that that was all I needed, just all I was going to watch now.

Ah, okay. Good! Sorry, I'm used to people on other boards just dismissing stuff out of hand.
The link up there should go straight to his YouTube page, where you can peruse all of his vids. If it just went to a short vid and not the whole page, then I must have messed something up when I hyperlinked it.
It should go to his main page.

You're both right, just miscommunicating. How often is that the problem between two people? But I digress. Optimus, your link goes to his home page. Included on that home page is "What is the Rubin Report." Just a WAG here, but I presume that's what tanstaafl watched. I'll get to it later today. Yours is not the first recommendation I've had, but I've never gotten around to him before. |

I just watched an episode last night. I've never heard of him before Opty's rec. I like him. He seems very rational and even-keeled, even when interviewing someone the left views as the devil himself - Milo Yanapoulis. (I'm guessing on the spelling and on my phone so will correct it later). I found the interview interesting and will watch more of these. I looked Rubin up online to find out more about him. Apparently he's a stand up comic? His demeanor strikes me as serious, and I never would have guessed that. Thanks for the rec, Opty!
