Dave’s journey from a left-leaning progressive to a free-thinking classical liberal has been quite an adventure. As a gay married man in America, Dave spent the majority of his adult life subscribing to a certain political belief system based primarily on his immutable characteristics. Fed up with the mainstream media narrative and click-bait news, Dave decided to open up about his awakening, for all to see. He came to realize that no person or idea should be expected to join a side, but rather they should embrace their status as an individual. He now feels that political correctness and groupthink are reaching dangerous levels, distracting us from the true American dream of the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

Dave’s background as a stand-up comedian, degree in political science, and willingness to listen without fighting has uniquely positioned him to tackle big ideas and uncomfortable truths with thought leaders from both sides of the aisle. His show The Rubin Report aims to create civil discourse with people we both agree and disagree with, and host a dialogue with others whose ideas are judged before being given the chance to be presented in an honest way.

Dave is currently taping season 5 of his talk show, speaking around the world with Dr. Jordan Peterson on the “12 Rules for Life Tour,” and performing stand up comedy in cities around the U.S.

Dave's book "Don’t Burn This Book", is the definitive account of our current political upheaval and your guide to surviving it.

The Rubin Report is the largest talk show about free speech and big ideas. Whether it’s the debate surrounding religion and atheism, foreign policy issues like immigration and terrorism, or big ideas like the role of government, Dave Rubin goes one on one with thought leaders, authors and comedians in ‘The Sit Down,’ has honest conversations and moderates opposing voices in ‘The Panel,’ and shares his own unfiltered thoughts in ‘Direct Message.’

Previous guests range from comedians Bob Saget, Roseanne Barr, and Richard Lewis, politicians John McCain, Gary Johnson, and John Kasich, thought leaders Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, and Ben Shapiro, religious leaders Bishop Barron and Rabbi Wolpe, and TV legends like Larry King and John Stossel, and many others.

The Rubin Report is fan funded by an audience around the world. Distributed on YouTube and as an audio podcast, the show has over 1 million YouTube subscribers and is a top political podcast on Apple and Spotify. For podcast listening
