Joe Rogan Experience #1131 - Dave Rubin

five four three two
dave rubin ladies and gentlemen how are you buddy what's up brother dude i
haven't seen you uh well
the last time we saw each other it was just now but before that was right
before the election the
day before the world changed squirrely times squirrely doesn't that literally
it seems like
a lifetime ago not even a lifetime ago it's like a different life for me i
think it's a different
life for you think about how much has changed for both of us in that time but
it seems like
another planet yeah like an alternate universe the day before the election it
is in a lot of ways
right i mean people are the world's going well people the world's trying to
find its footing yes
you know it's a lot of craziness well i hate to tell you joe uh-oh but you are
a little piece of
the finding of the footing because people are finding the footing you know i'm
on tour with
peterson right now i just got in this morning from atlanta and it's like there
is without being
hyperbolic there is some kind of awakening happening right now people are kind
of getting their shit
together they're kind of sorting out things they're through long form
conversations like we're all
having and all these people that we're now connected with there's something
happening where people are
going there's another way to make sense and let me figure out what that is
doesn't mean we have all
the answers and i'm sure as hell no i don't and i don't think you think you do
either but we're at
least giving them a little room to figure it out and it's pretty cool well the
thing about peterson
that's been fascinating is how many people misrepresent what he says to try to
frame him
him in a way that makes him evil and makes their position seem more ethical or
more moral or better
or more intellectual there's so many articles being written about him almost on
a daily basis
it is misrepresent what he's saying it's epic bullshit i mean weird that's all
it is these
guys want clicks that's all they want i mean i've we've done about 20 shows in
the last six weeks or
so bounced around from nashville and houston and atlanta and chicago and
everywhere else
the crowds have been incredible it's it's probably split you know first off
they always go well it's
angry white men that's the main thing it's all angry white men now first off
let's say it was all
angry white men there that in and of itself doesn't mean it's bad let's say
there was like a really
disaffected group of angry white men that really felt like either masculinity
had been compromised
or they couldn't get jobs or they didn't feel good about their lives like if
there was someone talking
to them that was helping them that would actually be good but let's just put
that aside right because
they don't mean it in a positive way so they say it's all angry women now i can
tell you it's about
60 40 male to female roughly um at jordan shows at jordan shows yeah and it's
do you think that's
like dates that reluctantly go along with men like all right there are some i
mean there will be guys
that you well it's actually usually girls will come up to me after and they'll
go you know he's a big
fan of you guys or he loves jordan or he loves you or blah blah blah and i'm
just here but then they
all have a great time i mean i'm telling you this thing has been an insane love
fest i know you saw the
video that jordan posted last night it was his birthday last night we were at
where the hell was
i atlanta the tabernacle in atlanta you know almost 3 000 people singing happy
birthday to him
we brought out this freaking stuffed lobster and a piece of meat because he's
on this crazy meat diet
now and it's like it's an endless love fest every street we walk down people
high-fiving us saying
hi we did a little meet and greet impromptu thing at the lincoln memorial and
about 100 people showed up
just out of nowhere and it's like these people are just trying to figure shit
out they're not white
supremacists they're not alt-right they don't hate women it is literally
nothing that they say because
they want clicks and the way they get clicks i mean you know the way they get
clicks is they say the
absolute reverse from the truth it's not that they lie a little bit like a
little lie i think nobody would
even pick up on it we don't think that's what they do i think they're just misrepresenting
i don't think
they're they're saying the apps the opposite of the truth they just they just
look they're finding
these little categories right homophobia transphobia uh well he's not a homophobe
he's on tour with
the gay guy he's not a transphobe there are trans people that show up there and
i and i discussed it
with him every freaking night i asked you know we do so i basically do like 15
minutes of stand up up top
he does an hour and a half and then we do a q a together um and we bring out
all of these things and
every night to clear it up and sometimes i'll have people bust out their phones
and i'll be like why
don't you guys record this tonight let's get it out on twitter where he takes
down the alt-right because
he hates the identity politics of the right as much as the identity politics of
the left i mean i think
i think the reason we all focus on the thing of the left is because it has
encompassed culture and media
and politics and what you're allowed to say and and uh universities and all
that so it makes more sense to
focus on that the little sliver of it that's on the right yeah it's shitty it's
horrible you should not
look at your skin color as some great thing that makes you better but it's not
a right thing is
racism always a right thing like no not a racist right no i think the left is
far more racist than
the right at this moment yeah why do you think that because identity politics
is based in racism
you happen to be white i know nothing about you by the color of your skin i
know about joe rogan because
i watch the show i listen to the show we've done this several times and we can
for the hours that
we're going to sit here now we can dive as deep into any issue and that's the
only way that i can
sensibly judge you but the idea that you will look at people that you would
look at a black person a
black person would be sitting there or a muslim person would be sitting there a
trans person sitting
there and you'd go i have even the inkling of what you think because of that
immutable characteristic
that is actual racism that is pre-judging right judging first before you know
somebody so i have
a much bigger issue with that because that has infected everything in american
society right now
the identity politics of the right that this should be a white ethno state or
something like that but
is that of course it's nonsense hold on a second that's not really the identity
politics of the right
what are they well i don't think the left is necessarily that way either i mean
i think the identity
politics there's a real issue right with people that only identify with other
women women that only
identify with women and don't care about men there's a real issue with people
that are uh only american
they don't care about the rest of the world there's like there's all these
weird groups but i think we
run into problems when we start saying oh it's the left that's doing this it's
the right that's doing
this i think it's just tribal it's just this weird thing that human beings tend
to gravitate towards
tribes for sure and look we can we can i talk about things usually from a
little more of a political
lens than i think you do so yes of course ultimately it is tribalism however
you want to
parse that tribalism right so yes the le and i say this all the time but the
left right thing doesn't
make that much sense anymore you're either basically you're basically for
freedom you're for the individual
to live freely however they see fit or you believe that the government should
engineer things and that
there should be central planning so that people i think that's always shitty
thinking i think there's
people that say that the government should engineer things they're just looking
for a solution and then
they think the government should handle it well yeah but i think people that
think we should pay more
taxes okay where is that going to go it's going to go to the government and
what are you agreeing with
me yeah in a lot of ways oh okay i thought you said no no no i don't mean your
thinking i mean
they're okay i'm like they're having shitty thinking it's like this idea that
the government's going to fix it the
government's filled with people like we don't have our own individual solutions
we don't have our
solutions as human just as human beings objective human beings looking at
problems why would we ever
think that elected officials these these people that are for the most part full
of yeah like they're
just trying to say whatever they can say that's going to appease both the
special interest groups and
the lobbyists and the people that are helping them get into place the people
that are going to vote for
them and you know and then just sort of like skirt around all the other issues
that are controversial
to the point where they can get into office let's try it this way name three
politicians that you really
like i don't know any of them yeah i mean i know all right then uh gary johnson
yeah so gary johnson who
was like who i like him too and i voted for him but he was the worst possible
libertarian candidate you
know well who's the best libertarian candidate i mean ran paul should be if he
really had the balls to be what
he is he's got to learn how to stuff a takedown yeah right he's got a lot right
guys coming at you
you gotta you gotta figure out a way to sprawl you could do you could do two
hours with him and he'd
be a lot better in a lot of ways but he should be the guy but he doesn't have
the balls to do it
because he wants to maintain being a republican senator in kentucky and he's
not going to do it if
he has to leave the party but if but i've seen a major shift i think in
republicans or at least
conservatives or generally people on the right whatever you want to call that
thing there is
a massive libertarian streak that is alive in them right now which is why most
of the people
that i like these days that i get along with that i think are are fair and
decent and honest
are pretty much libertarian all right define libertarian so libertarian so
libertarian and
classical liberal is what i get more than anything else because i say i'm a
classical liberal which
basically means you believe in the individual the sovereignty of the individual
is the simple most
important thing it is your life it is your duty to do what you see fit the
government is supposed to do
pretty much nothing other than protect your life so it's supposed to have an
army and
police and stuff like that and then really just laissez-faire economics and
that and then the difference
between classical liberal and libertarian is how far do you want to go with the
government so i
think there is some utility for the state but the more i do this the more i
have these conversations
and i talk to ancaps and and real libertarians and all that i find it hard to
defend the state at almost any level at this point but i do think that because
i don't want to
live in mad max fury road just yet although we may be heading there i i still
will defend the state at
some level but i would say everything should be local we have an incredible
experiment here with 50
states if your state taxes too high move go somewhere else if your state doesn't
have good education you
can go somewhere else if you don't like the weather somewhere but the second we
make everything federal
and this is what it's not just the left this is what people who were using lazy
thinking that you referred to
they think we should just have one law that we should all live exactly the same
no matter where we are
geographically no matter what our religion or what however we set our set of
uses t
