  1. I had to mute it. I cannot STAND to hear these savages screeching! They enrage me. Why were they not asked to leave and/or forcibly removed if they refused? Don't they have security for these events? Why are these disruptive people allowed to ruin events for others who want to hear them? My God, how it sickens me to see these savages just allowed to take over and destroy an event for the speaker and the audience who wanted to hear her! Who in the BLAZES do they think they are? And why does everyone just sit there and take it?!

  2. J. Warner Wallace uses the term, "Christian case-makers." I like it.

  3. This is what we all should have done the minute they told us to shut everything down. I will forever be ashamed that I didn't do it.

  4. A Christian business owner is helping out in time of worldwide crisis? HOW DARE YOU?! /Greta

  5. RE: The exchange with Areva Martin. I remember that! They are each too kind here. She's not a nice woman. She's a racist bigot and she let her racist, bigoted views be exposed on that interview. (And, as they said, then blamed the error on her own team rather than admit and address her racist, bigoted views.)

  6. Yay, two of my favorite speakers! I disagree with each of them on certain things. But I always enjoy listening to them. Why? Because they act like adults. They know it's possible to disagree with others, express that disagreement, and not resort to a screaming/insult match. This seems to be a quality that has disappeared from modern culture.

  7. I was not familiar with Dave when he was a "Leftie", as he describes himself. But from what he's said here, even at that time, he was at least willing to talk to someone who had different views. That's a big difference right there! Many of the hard core Leftists we see are not interested in talking to anyone who doesn't share their views. And, as we've seen, even a deviation within their own ranks causes them to destroy their own.

  8. 2:12 "Hate takes too much work." Oh, goodness, I am right there with you! It's exhausting. I don't have the mental energy for it. I just want to talk to people and be normal human beings. We might not agree on XYZ issue. We might even disagree passionately. But even then, why can't we just treat each other in a civil manner? I miss Andrew Breitbart so much!

  9. Right? Common sense and basic biblical teaching. I have no idea why people are complaining about it. On further thought, I guess it speaks to the utter biblical illiteracy of our culture today. This used to be common knowledge, woven into the very fabric of American culture. It's one of the ideas upon which our very country was founded! The realization that people are no longer aware of it and even seem to reject it the way they're doing here is horrifying.

  10. Murdering a child should never be a choice allowed to people. Abortion is not a "horrifically impossible existential question" as he put it. First of all, when you're pregnant, it's no longer just "your body." There's an entirely separate human being inside the womb, with its own brain, heart, nervous system and individual DNA. By all scientific criteria, that's a separate, distinct human being from the mother. It may be argued that you have a right to do what you want with your own body. But even that argument doesn't follow, since you can't legally use your body to do things like rob your neighbor's house or rape someone. What you don't have a right to do is use your body to murder someone else. There's nothing remotely impossible about this issue. It's very simple. You either think you have the right to murder an infant, or you don't.

  12.  Rene Lynch  Indeed. The totalitarians have really come out of the woodwork. Take note and vote them out!

  13. I tried to listen to it and was disgusted by the whole thing as well. Can't we have ANYTHING that is not infected by leftist politics?!

  14. Maybe I'll watch this later. I got up to :50. It makes my heart race in fear to know these animals are STILL doing this and even planning where to go. I guess in a way, it's a good thing I was banned from Twitter after responding to one of Dave's tweets in October. I don't remember what his tweet even was! My grocery store just a few blocks away was hit a few days ago. I've spent these days with the door locked (in rapidly increasing heat and no AC) and every so often stepping outside and scanning as far as I can see, to see if any mobs are headed my way. I'm terrified. I've got elderly parents here. If it was myself and I needed to run, at least I'd have a chance. They're sitting ducks and helpless. I am terrified. Why is this being allowed? WHY?!

  15.  Trumpenstein  Yeah, it's Republicans doing that. Hilarious!

  17. ​ bcstractor  Minority of voters, LOL! The Biblical view is that God puts people in positions of authority. You're free to disagree with that. But what, exactly is your issue with it? I'll tell you what the issue is. You are an anti-Christian (not just anti-religion) bigot who hates Christ & Christians. You hate them so much that you can't even appreciate a business person converting their business to provide practical, very needed help during a time of worldwide crisis / suffering. Pretty pathetic. But thanks for putting it on the internet for the world to see.

  43. I will take modern "feminists" seriously when they start speaking out on behalf of women under Islam as much as they shriek against "The Patriarchy!" and for the murder of unborn infants. Until then, I ignore them and mock them. That's all they deserve.

  44. +Chidi I really appreciated your comment! I am always hearing that there's no use in discussing these types of issues with people because everyone is set in their ways. Nothing you say will ever make anyone change their minds about anything. I don't believe that is so. I think people change their minds on issues all the time. But it's great to see an actual example of it!

  45. +valgehiir "+Chidi hopefully you'll recover, and your love towards Shapiro is just a passing thing. He is a douchebag, he doesn't give a fuck about you." Thank you for demonstrating you have nothing to say about his position on issues, only name calling and vulgar insults. Thanks for putting it up on the internet for all to see!
    2
  46. hellovanite  "+Chidi Leftist have the mainstream media... Yeah right! ha ha ha" What is there to laugh about in that statement? It's factually true. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, NPR, BBC, New York Times and nearly every other major print newspaper I can think of - all hard left.
    2
  47. How people like you sicken me with your attempts at moral equivalence. The bible has zero open-ended commands for Jews or Christians to commit violence against unbelievers or anyone else. That's why there are no Jews or Christians committing such acts, on a regular basis, all around the world, in obedience to those open-ended commands. Take your anti-Christians bigotry and false claims elsewhere and address ISLAM, the point of this video.
    2
  48. @ Just Someguy "+Yesica1993 They are both the savage practices of primitive desert tribes that should have been abandoned to the books long ago... one is far worse than the other, but there isn't a fundamental difference." Oh, BULL! Does circumcision leave men unable to function sexually, unable to father children, in pain and/or with often life threatening conditions? Of course not! Stop making these false comparisons! It makes you look like an ignorant person who has no idea what FGM even is. And that's what you are, otherwise you would never be making such a comparison!

  49. darezaa "The guy actually blames religion for this." Which religion is that? "He doesn't once mention that the people of these countries may be upset because WE'VE BEEN BOMBING THEM FOR DECADES" Who is "we"? Can you tell me where "we" were bombing or in any way attacking Muslims in the 7th century when Islam began and its followers did the same things they do today? (Though obviously with different weapons, since bombs and those types of things did not exist at that time.)

  50. Levi Paladin "Think about it. How many times have you answered the same garbage? "It's America's fault etc."" Dear God, if you only knew! I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard some of this stuff and have responded in an effort to have a productive discussion. I wouldn't mind addressing it, if they would at least 1) provide the evidence for their accusations/claims when they make them and 2) listen and consider anything I have to offer! But nope. I ask for evidence and all I get is either silence, a changing of the topic, or profanity/insults. That's it. It's so exhausting and so maddening.

  51. +The Rubin Report "Full hour and a half interview coming..." I first read this as "Four and a half hour interview coming" Wishful thinking, eh?
    2
  52. darezaa "Your response is so dimwitted it isn't even worthy of me wasting time to explain who "we" would be." LOL!! The usual response of someone who KNOWS they have nothing of substance to offer on an issue. Go play games elsewhere. Or, if you love Islam so much, go live in a sharia enforcing country. I'll donate to your moving costs. What say you?

  53. "We hear what the left has to say EVERY DAY because we are verily immersed in their message. We hear it in entertainment media, in news media, in social media, in advertising, in academia. We have no choice but to hear them. " THIS! I understand the desire to have the, "We all can do better" attitude. When do we see that type of attitude from the hard Left? There is no equality between Right and Left when it comes to our behavior. It's the Right that strives to give the other side a fair hearing. The Left shoves their views in our faces 24/7, from every angle, whether we like it or not. When we try to respond, we are shouted down, censored online, and all the rest. The Left are in their echo chamber. We are the ones who live in their world 24/7. They run the culture. They rule Hollywood, the media, social media, and academia.

  55. Not in the technical sense of the word, true. But they were self identifying as liberals until just recently, when they changed it to "progressive." (Not sure how or why that even happened.) If they can use the term for themselves, I have no problem using it for them as well.

  56. THANK YOU! My church is still not allowed to meet. But all these protesters are just fine. It makes me so angry!
    2
  57.  @livmilesbooks  That is the most heartbreaking thing. I have a close family member who is not well. At any point, they could take a downturn & have to go to the hospital. The thought of leaving them there to die alone is unbearable. But that's what many people have had to do. Yet these protests and riots are allowed. It enrages me!

  62. They ARE indoctrination centers! This is no longer education. (Which breaks my heart because I never got to go to college when I was younger. I just hit 50 and still had the dream. But I am not paying money to waste my time with garbage like this.)
    2
  63. @ Mayo's First of all, if you live in America you hear "the other side" (liberals) 24/7. Second, everyone is biased, if by "biased" you mean they hold a point of view. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Nor can we help it. We all hold a point of view. Third, the fact that you even ask the question shows you are more open minded than a liberal could ever be. When have you seen a liberal say the same thing you've said here? I rest my case!

  64. Where's the freaking MILITARY, like Trump promised?! Not only have I (and many others) been trapped in our freaking houses over this pandemic (which seems to have disappeared, since I've heard nothing about it for days now), but I'm trapped in my house for fear of violent mobs either attacking me, my elderly/ill parents, or destroying my house. How is this acceptable?!

  65. Love Ravi!

  66. That's why salvation through Christ is so important. Famous or not, rich or poor, young or old, none of us knows when we will die. We are all sinners. None of us is perfect. That's God's standard for heaven - perfection. So we either pay for our sins ourselves or we accept Christ's payment for us. That's the choice we have.

  76. I hope the host was joking when around 1:30 he says women are "the other" and that's why they are so "oppressed". In free countries (especially America) what fields are closed to women JUST because they are women? Oh, I am sure someone can dig up an obscure example somewhere. But assuming equal ability and training, women are doctors, lawyers, professors, journalists, authors, in the military, politicians, construction workers, truck drivers, police officers, firefighters, business owners - I could go on and on! What more do they want?

  79. An atheist is someone who holds the view that God does not exist. How do they prove that? What atheists love to do is play the game of, "I just don't have a belief in God/gods." That's a cop out. Atheism is not just a lack of belief. It's a belief that there is no God. How can we test that? Here's a question to put to them. I am going to make a statement: God exists. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
    1
  80. Caradog V "Not necessarily. Atheist means you don't believe a god IS real." Right. You hold the point of view that a god is not real. That is a point of view.  "You call this a "game", but you only make a declaration that this isn't true. You don't make any argument against it." Atheists claiming they simply "have no belief" is just that - a word game. Atheists hold to the belief that a god is not real/does not exist. 
    1
  81. Caradog V  "NO. Believing there is no God is not the same as not believing there is." That doesn't even make sense.  I am going to make a statement: God exists. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
    1
  82. Caradog V "The default position is to be undecided, and unless it is made evident that he is guilty, we stay undecided, and stick with Not Guilty. " But you are not "undecided". If you were undecided, you would identify as an agnostic. An agnostic is someone who is yet "in between" on the question of whether God exists. That is not the position you hold. The position you hold is that God does not exist. "I've put God on trial, and found him Not Guilty of existing." Exactly. Your point of view is that God does not exist. That's why you are an atheist, not an agnostic. (I'd love to see that trial and what evidence you found, examined, rejected, and why. But that's another discussion.) But this is why you refuse to answer the question I've put to you at least twice that I've seen. Claiming you have no belief about God makes it easy for you to get out of presenting any reasons why you choose to have no belief in God. It's a game. And I won't play it with you. I will ask it the final time. I am going to make a statement: God exists. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? There are only three possible answers that I can see here: 1) Agree, 2) Disagree, 3) Uncertain If you agree, you are a deist or theist of some stripe. You hold to the view that some sort of God exists. If you disagree, you are an atheist. You hold to the view that God / gods do not exist. If you are uncertain, you are an agnostic. You hold to the view that you are uncertain on whether God/gods exist.  It seems pretty straightforward to me. 
    1
  83. Caradog V " I am an agnostic. I am also an atheist." Oh, for goodness sake! That does not even make logical sense. If they are the same things, why would there be separate, distinct terms for these two viewpoints? An agnostic holds the view that they are unsure/undecided as to the existence of God / gods. An atheist holds the view that God / gods do not exist. "Is this what you always do when someone tries to explain these things to you? Try to tell other people what they believe? If so, then it's no wonder you don't understand them." Projection, much? Do not play your games with me. The terms "agnostic" and "atheist" have meanings. They don't mean whatever you decide they mean at any given moment. The fact that you claim to be BOTH when it's logically impossible to do so means YOU don't understand their meanings, not me. It makes no logical sense to say, "I believe God does not exist. But at the same time, I believe God may exist."  Please go play games elsewhere. I simply don't have time for it.
    1
  84. Caradog V I am no longer reading your comments. As I said, I do not have time to keep playing games with you.  Notice how you refused to address the statement: God exists. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Are you not sure? Agree = deist/theist of some kind. Disagree = atheist. Unsure/undecided = agnostic. You said you were an atheist. Then you changed your answer to the logically impossible position of being both an atheist and an agnostic. This is a serious issue. The answer to it determines where you spend eternity when you die. It deserves to be addressed in a serious manner, not in a frivolous way, with word games and illogical statements like you have done. Please do not waste any more of my time. Thank you.
    1
  85. Caradog V Yes, it is. It's tragic that you play the game of claiming to be two opposing, contradictory things at once. It's tragic that you choose to make up your own definitions for words. It's tragic that you won't answer the simple question: Statement - God exists. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

  88. +karen straughan "Women in Islamic countries can be stoned to death "for being raped"? Yeah, no. Those women were convicted of adultery," In Islamic cultures, being raped is considered "adultery". " of which the penalty is the same for them and the man they had sex with." And where is the punishment applied to the men? There's probably a case to be found here and there, but the majority of the time, it is ONLY the woman!
    1
  89. +SlyNine "Boys are raped there as well." I know that. " She said the experiences of men and women are DIFFERENT there. Not equal. Her point is that you cannot really say one gender has it worse than another. Pointing out one thing and ignoring everything else isn't proving your point or debunking her arguments." Sorry, I don't really know what comment or point of mine you're addressing or disagreeing about.
    1
  90. SlyNine "She is not saying they are treated equal, just equally bad." I completely agree. Sharia is hell on earth for everyone! But she also said the below statement, which is just factually false. Maybe there are some exceptions depending on location and severity of how sharia is practiced. But generally, it's the woman. "Women in Islamic countries can be stoned to death "for being raped"? Yeah, no. Those women were convicted of adultery, of which the penalty is the same for them and the man they had sex with. "

  91. SlyNine " I'm free to be persuaded either way. But I need evidence. Can you point me to the facts?" Facts on what portion, exactly?
    1
  92. SlyNine  Actually, she's the one who needs to prove her claim that both males and females are punished for "adultery" equally. 
    1
  93. SlyNine She's making the claim first.  Are you actually claiming you know nothing about the treatment of females under Islam? 
    1
  94. SlyNine "I'm responding to your claim, not hers." Of course.  I suggest you educate yourself on Islam.
    1
  95. +SlyNine Gee, maybe because of the treatment and stature of women under sharia? Can you show me any males forced to wear full body coverings or scarves around the head, like women do? Here is one such story, complete with the Islamic text references. http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/197793/blaming-rape-victim-dubai-robert-spencer Funny how you keep demanding evidence of this or that from me, and zero from the original poster who made her claim.

  96. SlyNine (Before even reading)  Let's see if you completely ignore everything I said/posted and demand more, while requiring none from Ms. Straughan. Yep. The usual Not a word about anything I took the TIME to find and post.  Nothing about Islam. And now, a switch to rape victims in the USA - which I don't even know what that has to do with the issue we were addressing. Unbelievable. And then you have the gall to pretend you were actually interested in hearing anything I offered, or learning anything. Aggravator.

  97. chris clark "Why can't we talk about all religion?" This video is about ISLAM. You know, the religion whose followers are currently wreaking havoc around the world, in direct obedience to its teachings? Perhaps you missed the news on that.  " why is Islam the only one taking a hit when Christianity deserves scrutiny as well?" See above. When you're done with that, show me the evidence of the open-ended commands from the Bible instructing Jews or Christians to commit violence against unbelievers or anyone else. When you're done with that, show me where Jews or Christians are committing such acts, all over the world, on a regular basis, in obedience to those open-ended commands. You know you won't respond.  You know NOTHING about either Islam or Christianity. You're just one of those anti-Christian bigots who pretends these two religions teach the same thing, when you know the truth is you know NOTHING about either one.  Go waste someone else's time.

  106. Levi Paladin "Seems like no matter how many times you hammer down these stupid, stupid leftist lies, they keep picking them up and using them again." I'm not sure what lies you mean. But yes, leftist lies are all they have to offer. That, and insults.

  107. I'm only 9 minutes in but have to pause it due to Real Life commitments. I think this is the first time I've watched Dave Rubin's show for any length of time. I don't even know his views on things. This is so refreshing thus far. He seems to be a good interviewer. He listens, he lets people speak. And Andrew is one of my favorite commentators. We may not agree on every single issue. But that's okay. He really does seem to a decent guy. I can't imagine anyone disliking him, even if they disagree on every issue. See? Civilized, thought provoking discussion, without screaming and insults and shutting down the opposition and all the rest. That's how things should be. When did it become impossible for people just to have a civilized conversation? Again, even when they disagree? I just don't get it. Also, that studio is stunning!

  108. Is it sane there? (I'm so sick of Chicago politics, I can't even tell you. I don't even care about the cold, that doesn't bother me. It's the corruption and the taxes!)

  109.  @jordanmizell4402  Sigh. I'd love to move to America someday. I'm not expecting perfection. No place is perfect. I'm just sick of the overwhelming corruption that is taken for granted and even joked about. "Vote early, vote often!"

  111.  Jeannie Seibert  How does that work, though, if no one is armed? I honestly don't know. If a mob came down the street, the most we could do is call each other, "Stay inside!" But that's mostly useless if a mob is coming at you with bats or molotov cocktails.

  117.  @Tecknut75  Then, our leaders must want to kill us because they are the ones allowing these mass gatherings of "protesters." You can't have it both ways. Either we have to keep churches and (only some) businesses closed and people in masks because there's a deadly contagion, or it's not nearly as bad as they told us. Which is it?

  119. I am only about 22 minutes in. But so far I have not heard anything she said here that should be controversial. You're telling me that people are AGAINST 1) making schools a disciplined, orderly, respectful place where kids can actually learn something, and 2) the importance of actually teaching them facts and methods before trying to "draw out" anything from them & expecting them to do critical thinking? This attitude is a huge part of the problem! If the parents are against authority/discipline/order, of course the kids are going to be unmanageable in the classroom. Maybe parents work so many hours because their kids are so wild at home? And now parents not only don't want to do their job as parents, but they don't want anyone else to do it either? No wonder schools are failing. One bit where I will part ways with her was around 22 minutes, where she says lack of education is the main problem. I generally agree. But we have to back up. How can you educate a child if they're refusing to even sit down, if they're screaming at the teacher/at other kids, if they're violent, etc.? And if you try to apply any kind of order/discipline, then the parents come up to the school and complain. No one can learn anything in an environment like that. The discipline issue needs to first be addressed. In a perfect world, that's the parents' job. But we don't live in a perfect world. Teachers/schools have no choice but to try and undo the damage that's already been done to these kids long before they step foot in the classroom. Maybe they'll address this point. But in case they don't, I thought it was an important piece of the puzzle. I will have to watch the rest later. As always, great discussion.

  124. It was the racist, race baiting Obama who roiled up all this racism nonsense! It's like the memory of life before his presidency has been erased from all our minds. Before he came along, there was not this constant, "WHITE SUPREMACY!" "EVERYTHING IS RACIST!" garbage going on everywhere. Even in Chicago, people would generally get along. Sure, there are horrible areas of the city. But not all of it is that way. 12 years ago I worked at a company that had all manner of "diversity." I worked reception. There were times I had to ask how to pronounce names, because we had people from many ethnic backgrounds. As far as I could see, everyone got along just fine in that regard. There wasn't this constant tension and people on eggshells, terrified to talk to others for fear of "offending" them. I'm telling you, people, it just was not there.

  126. What's sad is that there are people as evil as you in this world. It takes a special kind of lowlife to say something like this to a stranger who has just lost a beloved pet. Thanks for demonstrating what a despicable human being you are and posting it on the internet for the world to see.

  127. It makes me so sad. While I agree on the online degree, what I really wanted was the shared learning environment with others. But I cannot stand this leftist nonsense and the insane shrieking and shutting down speakers and all the rest. What ignorance on display. Of all places, you'd think the university would be the place where diversity of thought is supposed to flourish!

  128. I should have said, shared learning experience with people of like mind/motivation, as well as high/challenging academic standards. From everything everyone tells me, I guess that environment no longer exists. You don't know how much this breaks my heart.

  129. Aw, thanks. It may be too late for me, but it seems many people are getting sick of it all. So I hold out hope for younger generations. A system like this can only self destruct. Perhaps what comes in its place will be better. I can't see how it could possible be worse. Take care.

  132.  @wakemiamigreatagain  "That may be true but he didn't deserve to die" I KNEW it. I knew as soon as I read that comment, the first response would be, "He didn't deserve to die." What does one thing have to do with the other? Can you not hold two things as true at once - he was a criminal AND the cop was wrong in his actions? Stop feeling the need to coddle and cater to CRIMINALS!

  133. About 50:00 The problem is that the Left spends 24/7 telling the culture that pro-2nd Amendment people are evil. Therefore, if you are an anti-2nd Amendment leftist, of course you'd be terrified of such a person with a gun. That's especially true for those who grew up knowing nothing about guns or gun culture. If the only time you hear about or see guns (aside from police/security guards) are from criminals using them to hurt innocent people, of course you are going to have a negative view of it all. Add that to the culture telling us 24/7 that pro-2nd Amendment people are evil, and of course Leftists are going to be terrified.

  135. I was always confused on Andrew's support for same-sex "marriage". He's a follower of Christ. He knows the Bible's position on this issue. He knows the Bible model for marriage is 1 man/1 woman. Then I learned he has a homosexual son. Family does tend to create blind spots. I hope he will soon start obeying God's Word on this issue. There's no reason he can't still have a loving relationship with his son, while still disagreeing on this issue. That's something being demonstrated on this program - that we don't have to agree with someone one every point in life, and yet we can still have a good relationship with them. As to Dave's take on it, the issue of equality isn't the point. If you want to use the word "equal", then marriage was never fully equal. There were already limits on marriage: You can marry one person, of the opposite sex, who is not already married, who is not a close relative, and who is of legal age & standing to do so. The limits were the same for me as a straight woman as for everyone else. On any one of those qualifications, you can find people who disagree with them and want "marriage" for their particular relationship. If I wanted to marry more than one man, I could not. If I wanted to marry someone who was already married to someone else, I could not. Etc. The reason the gov't has a vested interest in regulating marriage is because, as a group and by nature, M/F relationships create the next generation. The point is not that every M/F marriage does or should produce children. It's just saying that in general, by a huge margin, they do. And any stats you look at demonstrate that children thrive best in a home with a married mother & father. Therefore, it's to any government's interest to stabilize those relationships by giving tax breaks or whatever. Stable families producing a stable next generation is vital to any society's survival. Marriage was, is, always has been a particular thing. It's not just anything we like. Now that we've opened up the definition to include same sex, upon what basis can we deny the (supposed) right to marriage to any other combination of persons that demands it, simply on the basis of "equality"? That's the question that needs to be dealt with here. I never see it raised, much less answered. Even here, they barely touched on the issue of SSM, and then went on.
