What Your Liberal Friends Won't Admit About Conservatives | w/Host Michael Knowles | Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” gets interviewed by guest host Michael Knowles about his new book “Don’t Burn This Country”, why Jeremy's Razors is the future, how he became a former atheist, and his 2024 election favorite. First, Dave discusses how the New York Times bestseller list is rigged to not reflect actual book sales. He explains why conservatives need to follow the model of Rumble and Locals and Jeremy's Razors and build better institutions and companies to compete with woke corporations. Dave also shares if he thinks a conservative coalition made up of traditional conservatives and libertarians can actually hold to defeat woke culture. He also discusses why it is so important for conservatives to win the fight over individualism vs collectivism. Next, Dave talks about the reality that a new conservative coalition can successfully build new institutions. He also addresses his personal journey from considering himself an atheist and the early influences of guests like Sam Harris, Peter Boghossian, and Michael Shermer to becoming a believer. He shares the role that Jordan Peterson had in realizing that if a secular society didn’t find something to fill its god shaped hole that something far worse could take its place. Finally, Dave explains how the don't say gay bill has become just the latest in a long list of media lies. He also discusses why Ron DeSantis is the best bet for Republicans in the 2024 US election and what he thinks the role of Donald Trump should be going forward.
