John Stossel interviews: Dave Rubin

Podcast, but worth listening to.

Ep. 16 Dave Rubin: On Free Speech, Leaving the Left and Identity Politics​

Dave Rubin, host of “The Rubin Report,” used to be a leftist, but now he says progressives are “totalitarian.” He’s been shouted down when he speaks on college campuses. “They think I am a right-wing extremist,” Rubin tells me. He’s even lost friends for his political views. But Rubin’s show is hugely popular. He rightly recognized that people have an appetite for longer, in-depth interviews. “If there were more people having honest conversation,” Rubin tells me, "we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in.” Rubin is on to something. We talk about free speech, idenity politics, his change in politics, and more.

Rubin didn't honestly move much to the right.

The rest just ran to the left so fast it left him behind.

Same for those like Harold Ford, Manchin...

Yes the Overton Window has shifted so FAR LEFT Kennedy could not be elected by democrats


F.A. Hayak's Supposition in motion except instead of Governments becoming more socialized, the supporting party politics slides left as well



which tbh makes perfect sense

Plausible.

I remember when the left and the right weren't so far apart.

I also remember when liberal was more in line with what we think of as a libertarian. In other words:

“I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.”
