Profession : Journalist

Birth : June 26, 1976

I got into politics when I was 12, back when George H. W. Bush was running against Michael Dukakis. We did a mock election in my social studies class, and I remember how so much of what was thought of as liberal made sense to me.

Dave Rubin

Obviously, I agree with Trump on many of his criticisms of the mainstream media. You can absolutely argue that their failure to report honestly, to get outraged before we could, and to collude with the Clinton campaign directly led to the rise of Trump.

Dave Rubin

I'm not a huge parade guy myself.

Dave Rubin

It's not about whether we should have a conservative or a liberal. It's about, do we have someone that has the mental acumen to understand what the laws are, and not write laws but defend the laws. That's the whole purpose of three branches of government.

Dave Rubin

You can Google me, and I'm pretty sure the first thing that comes up is 'gay,' so that's out there, and I'm proud of that.

Dave Rubin

Whatever differences we have, tolerating others' opinions is a prerequisite to a functioning and free society.

Dave Rubin

The Right, much more than the Left, believes in the notion of live and let live, and that is the true definition of tolerance.

Dave Rubin

Sadly, the Left is no longer liberal at all, for it has traded in individualism for collectivism, thus placing us into an oppression Olympics where victimhood is a virtue. This post-modernism - this cultural Marxism or whatever you want to call it - can only destroy; it cannot create.

Dave Rubin

The regressive Left ranks minority groups in a pecking order to compete in a kind of 'Oppression Olympics.' Gold medal goes to the most offended.

Dave Rubin

Just by existing as men, we are automatically guilty of everything in some people's minds. And, on top of that, we've created a situation in the media where men are only allowed to talk about politics and sport.

Dave Rubin

I spent too many years of my life stressing over and struggling with my sexuality. But it was a valuable lesson. I realised that by not sharing how you feel, you become inhibited in every facet of life.

Dave Rubin

Speaking out, sharing what you think, and expressing yourself - regardless of sexuality or anything else - is the most important thing you can do as a man, as a human.

Dave Rubin

Seriously, we all need to get over being offended every time someone says something you don't agree with. Guess what? That's life. And I'd rather have that life any day than only hear from people who agree with me.

Dave Rubin

The election of Trump threw the chess board up. The pieces are all over the place. That's upsetting to a lot of people, but what I think is there's a lot of fertile ground for good ideas.

Dave Rubin

People are going to say mean things to you. They're going to say things that upset you. They're going to lie to you. They're going to lie about you. You'll survive.

Dave Rubin

You are born free. I was born free. The government can take your freedom away, but it did not give you your freedom. It was your human right. The key part of that is you are free first.

Dave Rubin

Think about your friends on the Left - are they tolerant of people who aren't for gay marriage? Or of people who are pro-life? These used to be just political differences, and now they are a referendum on what type of person you are and whether you can be in someone's life at all.

Dave Rubin

Do you know people on the Right who are tolerant of people who are for gay marriage and are pro-choice? I actually do, plenty of them. When there is a disagreement, I see way more people on the Right... more often willing to agree to disagree rather than to de-friend or to smear.

Dave Rubin

I think virtually everyone wants to do good and be good and be decent to each other and pursue something that is valuable to them and meaningful.

Dave Rubin

I think we're innately good. But it doesn't mean we're gonna do good all the time. It means you have to strive.
