 It kind of seems as if Dave Rubin's grift is starting to fall apart a little bit I don't think it's gonna hurt him financially in any way shape or form But I think that he's kind of inadvertently revealing himself and part of this is his own Problem, right? He had so much more room for his grift to grow what he still identified as a liberal but he came out as a conservative and As a conservative you have to say certain things There's this expectation that you will toe the line But if they think that you're a liberal or a classical liberal you have more room to kind of reason your way out of difficult situations so let me give you a couple of examples of that he was on a television show and he was debating someone and she asked for his vaccination status they were debating vaccines and vaccine mandates I'm assuming and Watch the way he melts down like a triggered little snowflake. I'll tell you why he got so offended Yes, children could transmit the disease although they rarely do but the parents are all vaccinated if they're good decent citizens So I don't really understand the connection actually. Are you a good decent citizen? Are you vaccinated? It's nobody's business whether I'm not I did that's like you the last time you got laid. I mean, it's just irrelevant. All right So, you know, what's really relevant is that it's one thing if you have the right Nor yours is mine let clear finish that hit a nerve He did not want to answer that question and I think we all know the reason for that. It's because Dave Rubin is vaccinated Dave Rubin is vaccinated a hundred percent The second he was able to get the vaccine when he was eligible He was first in line guarantee it because he knows that the vaccines are safe and effective But he doesn't want his audience to know that and that's why he's pushing this line. Oh, it's nobody's business whether I'm vaccinated That's like asking me when's the last time you got laid Is it though? Because I don't think that that's the same thing. That's a false equivalence and you sound really stupid making that point Dave We all know that you don't want to disclose your vaccination status for the same reason that Tucker Carlson Doesn't want to disclose his vaccination status because that undermines your credibility and I use credibility very charitably You undermine your credibility among the anti-vax community that you're pandering to so if they know that you're vaccinated Then when you tell them that the vaccines are bad, they're gonna think well wait if you say that the vaccines are bad Why are you getting the vaccine yourself? Why did you get the vaccine and the more smart people in his audience? There's not many of them, but the more smart ones might put two into together and think wait, maybe this person is Not walking the walk because what he's saying is bullshit Maybe he's telling me what he thinks I want to hear and maybe the vaccine actually is good Maybe I should get the vaccine because he got it. Does he think I'm stupid? not many people are gonna are gonna realize that but Still it makes you look like a fraud if you talk about how bad the vaccines are when you were vaccinated yourself So that's why he doesn't want to reveal his vaccination status. It's not because it's a deeply personal thing to him He doesn't care that much. He just doesn't want to give up the game, right? And this is why I say that he had a lot more room for his grift to grow had he remained a public liberal I don't think that Dave Rubin really has an actual political ideology that he cares deeply about he's just gonna follow the money and wherever that leads him whatever makes him the most dollars but I Think that if he pretended to be a liberal he could then say look as a liberal I got the vaccine But I'm for people making their own medical decisions. I'm for medical freedom. He could use that bullshit line But instead he's backed himself into a corner by coming out hard as a conservative coming out hard against the vaccines And he doesn't want to disclose that he's vaccinated because he looks like a fraud So here he is. I mean look I am more than willing to disclose my vaccination status I am fully vaccinated probably so and that doesn't impact My viewership at all, right? You know that I'm vaccinated. You know where I stand entirely I got the vaccine because I know it's safe and effective and I want you to get the vaccine Because I want you to protect yourself and those around you I also support vaccine mandates because it's either we mandate vaccines or We have basically this permanent state of plague because anti-vaxxers who are misinformed by people like Dave Rubin Tucker Carlson Jimmy door they would keep us in a prolonged state of plague forever If that were possible because they know that anti-vaccine misinformation if you're mongering about the code the 19 Vaccines all of that is very very lucrative. You can monetize that on YouTube and Facebook whatever platform they're using and you know you you build up support and trust among your right-wing audience So they love that but um listen, this is how you know that Dave Rubin is A total fraud because he's using one set of talking points to describe the vaccines When this whole freedom talk contradicts what he says So he was on a libertarian podcast and they question him. Why are you Talking about personal liberty as it relates to vaccines if you're not in favor of legalizing drugs I thought this this was about bodily autonomy and individual liberty Take a look. He has no idea how to respond So you describe yourself as a classical liberal Um and as such you're against i'm assuming Mandating masks and vast vaccines Even if they can be effective in Protecting public health because that would interfere with personal liberties of what to do with your body and life Yet in your book you oppose the legalization of schedule one drugs because addiction hurts communities Why are you willing to sacrifice the civil liberties? Uh in some in one case For the public good, but not in the other so when I talk about the drug part. It's like yeah, i'm for Legalizing marijuana. I'm not for mandating that everyone smokes it. I'm for legalizing Most psychedelics, but then there's another class of drugs basically that are so highly addictive We all know about i'm sure you guys cover the the fentanyl problem We have in the united states the heroin problem I was just in new york city the amount of people that you see on the streets that are just laying there That are obviously on drugs you go to san francisco I mean go to most progressive cities that you just unfortunately have to balance People's ability to make choices for themselves with some level of public good Here's the thing vince and david like the classical liberal position is that individual liberty is paramount and There's nothing more That has to do with your own liberties and freedoms is what to do with your own body So if you are going to say that I can't ingest whatever it is in my body I think the classical liberal position would be where does it stop? Can I not drink a big gulp because you know it may harm my body and they say sugar is addictive Where where does this actually stop? So my question to david is really about What how he identifies as a classical liberal or or even a libertarian when you're saying That there should be these strict guardrails and then again when we're talking about ingesting drugs That's what i'm putting into my own body But when we're talking about covet that is something that could affect the people around me So that's a little bit different and and so i'm trying to understand how it is you marry those things That was embarrassing And whenever dav rubin is challenged even slightly his entire worldview just collapses Which is why he doesn't usually bring on people Who's gonna challenge him and it's not just that he gets embarrassed when he brings on other people who at least Are more intellectually curious and honest and know what they're talking about He embarrasses himself on a daily basis. Here's another example of him Just saying the most idiotic thing he could think of Some people who don't even work in offices nor ever have worked in offices because they won't get jabbed I got an email from a guy who's a hospital administrator who has been working at home in his basement for years before Covid he has now been laid off Give up a few more of your rights guys. Why not, you know Give them access to your bank accounts and your phone records and all that stuff It's for your own good. They're looking for somebody a bad person, you know So just give up some of your rights and don't worry I just don't know How anyone could take dav rubin seriously even right wingers if I were a right winger I would feel insulted. I would feel like this man was pandering to me. I would feel like he's trying to insult my intelligence But most right wingers to be frank are rubes and they just want to be told What they want to hear they just want their worldview to be reinforced That's why they tune into people like dav rubin and Tucker Carlson So I'll leave that there dav rubin's grift It's kind of unraveling. It's kind of unraveling and it's kind of uncomfortable to watch because we know that he's vaccinated We know that deep down if you really could hook him up to a lie detector tester or give him a truth serum He would say yes the vaccines are safe and effective because that's what facts dictate. I mean that's that's objectively Objectively true, but he's not going to tell his right wing audience that Because then he looks like a fraud and I love this whenever there's an opportunity to expose or embarrass dav rubin Somebody should take that opportunity because this man spreads of misinformation He monetizes hate and the spread of bigotry And misinformation and overall he doesn't believe a single word That's coming out of his mouth. He's making the world Or making the country rather a worse place And he's doing this because it's profitable. What a piece of shit. I don't know how he sleeps with himself at night But it's probably on a gigantic bed of money and that's really gross I mean, there are some things that are more important in life than money One of them is living with yourself being honest with yourself and with your audience, but That's not what he prioritizes So that's why things like this happen where he looks silly because he doesn't believe in anything He just is a fucking shameless grifter
