The Rubin Report is a political news talk show hosted by Dave Rubin, currently airing on YouTube.[4] The full audio of each episode is additionally available as a downloadable podcast.

In The Rubin Report, Rubin interviews authors, activists, journalists, comedians, actors, and professors.[5]

History

Dave Rubin left The Six Pack radio show on Sirius XM Satellite Radio in New York City in 2013 to launch a political talk show called The Rubin Report in Los Angeles, California.[6] His show was originally syndicated on The Young Turks Network, where he was also a frequent stand-in host and commentator. In 2014 he began to have a fall-out with The Young Turks after they began vehemently criticizing Sam Harris and Bill Maher after Maher and Harris had gotten into a tense exchange with Ben Affleck about the relation between terrorism and Islamic doctrine.[7] On Oct. 23, 2014 Sam Harris sat down for three hours of debate with Cenk Uyger, the founder of The Young Turks. Rubin described some of his frustrations with that exchange as follows: "The way he (Uyger) became the leader of the group just relentlessly lying about Sam, and then to sit there for three hours with the guy and just double down on every lie—it showed just such a flaw in character." Rubin subsequently left The Young Turks in March 2015.[8]

In 2015, the show briefly moved to RYOT News.[9]

In August 2015, Larry King's Ora TV picked up the show which debuted on September 9, 2015.[10] The Rubin Report became the network's third political commentary show alongside PoliticKING with Larry King and Jesse Ventura's Off the Grid.[11]

On June 13, 2016, Rubin announced in a YouTube video he and his crew were leaving Ora TV and founding his own independent production company to continue The Rubin Report on YouTube.[12][1] Upon this announcement, he also informed viewers of the creation of PayPal and Patreon accounts to help fund his new endeavor. Within 5 days of the announcement, The Rubin Report met its initial goal of $20,000 pledged per month in fan donations to continue production of the show.[13]

Notable guests have included Sam Harris, Larry King, John McCain, Don Lemon, Roseanne Barr, Maajid Nawaz, Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager, Lauren Southern, Christina Hoff Sommers, Jordan Peterson, Larry Elder, Michael Shermer, Steven Crowder, Phil Mason, Paul Joseph Watson, Carl Benjamin, Shon Hopwood, Nick Cohen, Dinesh D'Souza, Lawrence Krauss, Margaret Cho, Milo Yiannopoulos, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Max Lugavere, Michael Malice, Candace Owens, Johnny C. Taylor Jr., Austin Petersen, Stephen Fry, Laci Green, Bill Whittle, Tommy Sotomayor, Andrew Klavan, Gary Johnson, Glenn Beck, Jesse Ventura, Stefan Molyneux, Tarek Fatah, Bob Saget, Alex Epstein, David Frum, Yanis Varoufakis, Aron Flam, Colin Moriarty, Scott Adams, Brendan O'Neill, Philip DeFranco, Brigitte Gabriel, John Kasich, Douglas Murray, Niall Ferguson, Thomas Sowell, David Horowitz, Blaire White and Yaron Brook.[14][15]

In 2016, Rubin interviewed Lubna Yaseen, a student being persecuted in Iraq for her atheism. She was later brought to the United States by the Center for Inquiry's program Secular Rescue.[16]

Format

From 2013 to 2015, The Rubin Report featured a panel of two guests and covered weekly news stories. After launching on Ora TV in 2015, the show took a more focused approach on the big ideas relating to politics and religion, as well as a focus on one on one interviews and monologues from Rubin.[17] The Rubin Report consists of three segments: Direct Message, The Sit Down, and The Panel.[18]

The Direct Message segment is a monologue delivered by Rubin that opens each episode of The Rubin Report. The segment features Rubin's personal views on the topic that will be discussed with the guest or panel in that episode.[18]

The Sit Down segment features a one-on-one interview between Rubin and the guest. Guests are usually authors, journalists, comedians, or professors.[18]

The Panel segment features a panel of two guests and focuses on a theme within current events.[18] There has been one Panel segment since the show's launch on Ora TV.[19]

Politics

On The Rubin Report, Rubin consistently identifies as a classical liberal with libertarian leanings.

The show often focuses on criticizing elements within the progressive movement, which he refers to as the "regressive left",[20] a term coined by activist Maajid Nawaz.[21] Rubin has stated that "regressives are the left's version of the tea party.", and that he views being politically progressive as "a mental disorder"[22]

As the face of YouTube’s The Rubin Report, he single-handedly champions politically incorrect discussion on everything deemed sacred by generation snowflake – from religion’s problem with homosexuality to double-standards in feminism and the rise of the regressive left (a fashionable movement, he says, that’s full of liberals shutting down debate “by smearing their opponents to promote a cause”).
