#587: Dave Rubin on Thinking for Yourself

Can you imagine sending your kids to a public school right now to be taught that boys have vaginas and girls have penises; and that if they're white, they're automatically racist; and that... the country didn't start in 1776—it started in 1619; and that the primacy of everything of the country was driven by racism and slavery? I mean, you're basically sending your kids to a brainwashing institution.

The thing is with the lefties... everything they say kinda sounds right unless you think about it for two seconds ... $15 minimum wage, well, of course it sounds right. Yes, we want poor people or people on the lower end of the economic class to make more money. That sounds right, but there's no economic theory behind that. You can't just artificially tell businesses that they have to pay people this much blah, blah blah.

If you say to the average conservative, 'What do you think about Bill Maher?' They'll be like, 'Oh, you know, he's okay. I disagree with him on some stuff, but he's okay.' You ask the average, like, lefty foot soldier MSNBC person what they think about Bill Maher—'He's a racist.' And that fundamental disconnect is so intertwined with what's wrong with the left right now.

There was far more coordination for the January 6th events, regardless of what you think about them, far more coordination on Facebook than on Parler. So, if anything was supposed to be blown up, if that's what you think the answer to this was, it should have been Facebook, not Parler.

We shouldn't look at things left and right anymore; you should look at things as sort of top-bottom ... You should look at them as you're either for centralized power or decentralized power.

Gavin Newsom is an evil Disney cartoon villain who should be in jail.

If you're really a thriving person in this world... why would you want to be in government? Why would I want to be in the thing that's there to control people? Which, by the way, that's why you get horrible people in government—they can't really.

The media cannot be trusted anymore. The institutions can't be trusted ... Big tech is manipulating us in ways we cannot imagine.
