A few comments on who Dave Rubin is...
He used to a "progressive" and be on TYT which I watched, and continue to watch regularly. He would often be one panelist among 4 and I would often roll my eyes at him being on there because nothing he said was ever intelligent and wondered what value the others saw in having him on. Apparently behind the scenes he would ask others there what their 'career path' to getting rich was. He then left TYT in his effort to get rich, found that by re-branding as a "libertarian" he was able to get a lot of funding from billionaire-funded right-wing organisations, and so he now spends his time pretending the free-speech of the right is being oppressed ( ). Unfortunately he doesn't even seem to have the intellectual capacity to have gone out and learned the basic arguments for libertarianism, and when challenged to make an argument, he goes with things like "er, well, I've heard that some might argue... [misunderstood repetition of their arguments]". A few of the progressive news outlets I watch online now like to show occasional video clips of Rubin for comedy value, as he fails so hard when he tries to make basic arguments.
So now he enjoys telling the gullible right that in a country full of people without healthcare, homeless people, people in jail, lead in the water, ridiculous military overspending, record breaking wealth and income inequality, cops shooting innocents, ICE kidnapping children, etc the Biggest Problem is half a dozen guys not being able to give a talk at a university when anyone who wanted to could view their talks online anyway. The US right is so gullible it deserves Dave Rubin.
