The Rubin Report

It's why I wrote about it in *Don't Burn This Country*. To me, they are the alien.

I wrote about it in Don't Burn This Country when they could not figure out how to fix the merry-go-round, the freaking merry-go-round in Central Park. And it was costing the city millions and millions of dollars. Donald Trump went in and did it for like 10% of the price.

Actually when I wrote uh Don't Burn This Country we did one extra chapter well it wasn't an extra chapter it was a book it was a chapter in the book that we decided to cut at the last second that was really all about these sort of fringe technological things and I maybe we'll do something with that maybe I'll release it in locals or something

If you read Don't Burn This Country I tell the story of Ash from the original alien movie because he's the medical officer on board.

We went back to Denver two years ago for the "Don't Burn This Country" book tour.

I wrote about this in "Don't Burn This Country", this is how the woke operate, but this is really how the Democrats operate. There is nothing they won't do to accomplish their goal.

I remember being at a meal, I think I wrote about this in Don't Burn This Country. Maybe I cut it actually.

I actually wrote about it in Don't Burn This Country.

I actually had a chapter in Tomper in This Country about all of this, about all of the big technological questions that we're gonna have to face. And then we realized at the end that it was like, it didn't quite fit.

I think I mentioned once, I've sketched out the basic idea for the third book and once we did, it was don't burn this book, Don't Burn This Country.

You can kind of think as to what the title of the next one might be.

And I do have a way of sort of, I think bringing it all together. It's very much in line with some of the things that I've been talking about over the last week or so related to culture and politics and our behavior when you live in a system that seemingly is always gonna drag you sort of what you can do.

So it's a little bit of an extension off the middle book.

I would say, I mean, it takes a while to write and publish. We're probably looking at 2025, probably.

for those of you that read Don't Burn This Country I devote basically half a chapter to him when it comes to leadership and how leaders aren't born They become leaders over time and how his life's work led him to that incredible moment around 9-11

for those of you that read Don't Burn This Country I devote basically half a chapter to him when it comes to leadership and how leaders Aren't born they become leaders over time and how his life's work Led him to that incredible moment around 9-11

the opening night of the Don't Burn This Country book tour, which we did in Palm Beach at the Improv over there. And he opened for me and the room was electric. I mean, the freaking roof almost blew off the place.

Yeonmi, last time I saw you was in Chicago, Illinois. You were living in Chicago at the time and you opened for me on the Don't Burn This Country book tour. We did a matinee show at the Chicago Improv and I didn't tell you you had to be funny, but you crushed it.

my one concern with Don't Burn This Country which obviously was the second book was that I did not feel it was as funny as the first book

if you read it and you liked it, you might want to try the audiobook because that's because I do the whole thing myself and then you know, some of the inflection and intonation in my voice. I think you'll dig it.

my one concern with Don't Burn This Country which obviously was the second book was that I did not feel it was as funny as the first book

it was a little denser like it was a little more research heavy and I felt like we cut a lot of jokes at the end

And when I was talking to my editor about it, her feeling and she's really great. Helen, if you're watching, I love you. She not Helen, my former assistant. I had a different Helen at the time. She kept saying that, you know, really for your first book, you want to you want to go idea heavy so that more and more people can find out about your ideas. And then eventually you go more autobiography heavy. So we did a little bit more in Don't Burn This Country related to my family.

And I talk a bit about my grandparents and my parents and sort of, you know, my family really is, I think, the perfect example of the American dream.

Don't Burn This Country, bust out.

We went on a completely sold out tour. It was absolutely wonderful.

should have been number two on the New York Times bestseller, possibly even number one. They did not put me on at all, which to me is the highest compliment that they could possibly do.

And also so indicative of everything going on with corporate media and mainstream media and the whole thing that if they are going to lie about sales numbers, basic stuff that is not debatable, did you buy that? Oh, we got money for it. We can count that. If they're going to lie about that, do you think they're going to lie about pretty much everything else?

you opened for me during the Don't Burn This Country book tour. Would you say that was the highlight of the whole operation?

I asked, I struggled with that question after opening for your act. I thought, you know, I'm now so covered in shame that maybe there's no possibility of going on with any self-respect at all, but I've managed a little bit.

Andrew, you've done many things in your career, screenwriting, many books, Daily Wire, but you opened for me during the Don't Burn This Country book tour.

Andrew, you've done many things in your career, screenwriting, many books, Daily Wire, but you opened for me during the Don't Burn This Country book tour.

In April, the big thing was that...we launched my second book and went on tour. That's right. Don't Burn This Country came out.

there's at least about a half a chapter in Don't Burn This Country about just this.

and I think we updated the trailer slightly let's show you that right now perhaps maybe ladies and gentlemen please welcome host of the Rubin Report author of Don't Burn This Country and New Floridian Dave Rubin

But I would say that humans need to believe, period.

But I think belief is so connected to what it is to be human, to be a fully functioning human that you will believe in something whether you believe it or not.

And I think one of the things that's been really interesting over the last couple of years is that people of faith, and it doesn't matter, the specific faith doesn't matter that much actually.

But there was a certain set of people who were just like, I believe in something else, something other than oh I pick up the New York Times and my God I have the Bible handed to me every day and here's what reality is because it ain't reality.

Why did I title the book Don't Burn This Country?

I'm Dave Rubin of the Rubin Report and author of Don't Burn This Country

Tomorrow night, the Don't Burn This Country book tour kicks off in West Palm Beach with Don Jr.

For some reason, they didn't stick it to me. Maybe they're going to stick it to me with this one.

The New York Times bestseller list, like all the rest of their newspaper is an editorial product.

The fact that the radical left controls all of these institutions will determine where your book gets placed in the bookstores. It will determine if it goes on classroom curricula. It will determine how it's talked about, how it's reviewed. It really matters.

Politicians are not here to save us. You, you either better figure out a way to save yourself or you better find some people who can help you save yourself together.

They've destroyed our educational institutions, our financial institutions. I mean, they've really wrecked havoc over everything.

New York Times bestselling author Dave Rubin, host of the new book Don't Burn This Country.

Last time I interviewed you and we were sitting down Don't Burn This Book was what we were promoting

over the course of the couple years of writing that book and leaving the left and getting nothing but hate from the supposed liberals.

by the time that we were promoting Don't Burn This Book, I think we both really knew in our hearts at that point that it wasn't going to be much longer that we were going to be able to say that we weren't left, we weren't right. We were our own thing.

Don't Burn This Country absolutely killed it.

I know I've been doing an awful lot of promotion for the book

yesterday was very focused on sales and getting word out there and everything.

We are gonna ease up on some of that.

We hit number one on basically all the applicable charts on Amazon and we've sold a ton of books and I'm very excited.

This book is about the things that you can do to survive and thrive.

I want you to thrive, not just survive this woke dystopia that we live in because we're in it, right?

But truly, that's that's the purpose of this book. Let's fight this thing. We can fight. We can thrive.

So in many ways I talk a lot about that kind of stuff. Also, I wrote the book while, well, the way the editing process works, you're writing the book, then you put it down for a while, then you have to pick it up again.

This book is, as you'll see, it's a little more research heavy. It's a little bit more historical.

I've got a book coming out tomorrow. That's right, people. Don't Burn This Country is officially out tomorrow.

No spoilers, people. Okay? Because there's a lot of info in there. I don't want to have it leaking out today.

we're burning up the charts already.

Number one is the audio book. Number two over there is the regular hardcover.

Since the book is coming out tomorrow, I'm going to go into a little more in depth of how we can fight back.

It's obviously going to be couched a little bit around the book.

I wrote a little bit about this in Don't Burn This Book.

Don't Burn This Country is coming out on April 12th. You can preorder it right now at Dave Rubin dot com slash book.

And if you preorder it, it counts as first week order. So I can get back on that New York Times list, even though I don't care about the New York Times list, which makes it even funnier to be on there.

And if you go to Dave Rubin dot com slash book, you can buy it from Amazon or Barnes and Nobles or your local bookstore.

You're going to dig it. It's fun. I did the audio book. It's fun. It's informative. It really is a solution. It's a series of solutions to so many of the problems we're talking about right now.

I wrote this thing like a year ago, so it's fun till I get back into it again and do the audio book.

Don't Burn This Country is on the way out. I did the audio book last week.

just yesterday I finished day three of three, five straight, three straight days of five hour days of reading the audio book for Don't Burn This Country, which comes out on April 12th and you can get your copy.

Like it was really fun for me to read the thing and nail the jokes and it's relevant and in some ways it's more relevant now than even when I wrote it and I think you're really going to enjoy it and I'm psyched for it to come out.

This book was a little more difficult because it was a little wonkier and it's a little more like, well, how do we beat this thing? How do we fight back against this thing? How do we not just complain? How do we build it?

At the end, I was like, wow, I really did write something kind of, kind of heartfelt here too. And I really do think you're going to dig it.

it's some politics, but it's more culture and it's, it's more lifestyle and yeah, you will dig it.

After the show today, I finish up day three, the final day of doing the audio book for Don't Burn This Country. You can preorder Don't Burn This Country right now.

You write them and then you basically the publishing process is so slow that I basically finished writing this thing about a year ago. And then there was some editing over the last year. But as I'm reading it again for the audio book, I'm like this thing's funny and it's pretty on point and it's very relevant. I think in an odd way it's more relevant today than even when I wrote it.

And I think you will dig it. So please pick up a copy if you've got a couple of bucks to spare.

Maybe I'll do a little video from there so you can sort of see what it's like in the booth. It's actually kind of cool. You get in there with the booth. There's a sound engineer. I got a guy in New York who's listening, making sure I pronounce every single name right. Paul is right on the jokes, all that stuff. It's a really fun process, actually. And oddly, my voice seems pretty OK.

yes, you can preorder Don't Burn This Country at Dave Rubin dot com slash book.

And as you know, I am in the midst of recording the audio book for Don't Burn This Country.

That's what I did for five hours after the show yesterday and I'll be doing for five hours after the show today.

I'm really enjoying doing the audio book because I can land all the funny stuff and do it just exactly as I like with the pauses in the right spots and all that good stuff.

And as I said, if you if you buy it during the pre-sale time, that counts towards week one, which gets us on The New York Times.

And I only want to get on the stupid list so that I can tell those people to go F themselves.

Don't Burn This Country comes out on April 12th.

It's now how you can fix your own life to the best of your ability in this woke dystopia that we are in.

And for the next three days, in case increasingly over the course of this week, you hear my voice getting weaker and softer and hoarser. And I'm talking like that. It's because for the next three days, for five hours a day, when I get out of here, basically afternoon right after this, I'm doing the audio book, which I am reading myself.

I really loved reading it last time. And I know a lot of you guys liked it that way. I can get the humor right and the inflection and the tone and all that.

You can preorder right now at DaveRubin.com slash book.

And before we get to the RubinReport.Locals.com Q&A today, we're gonna talk a little bit about a beef, a growing beef between Elon Musk and Joe Biden. And I also want to remind you guys that you can now preorder Don't Burn This Country, which is my second book. It is coming out on April 12th, just about 40 days from now. I think you're going to dig it. It's sort of the next step after Don't Burn This Book.

It's the next steps in how you can take more control of your life, how we can sort of get off the crazy train that these people have put us on and what you can do to empower yourself and not only survive, but as the subtitle says, thrive in our woke dystopia.

I've got another book coming out. That's right. Don't Burn This Country comes out on April 12th. It is my second book.

It's sort of what I think will be the second of three books, a trilogy. We had Don't Burn This Book, Don't Burn This Country.

the first book really was laying out all of my classically liberal principles, which in many ways in modern context are conservative and libertarian principles.

This is sort of how you can put those principles into action and what you can do as the world kind of melts down to make sure that you don't go crazy as the world goes crazy.

I promise you, you're going to dig the book. I really think it's, it's really good.

we will be announcing my book tour soon the book comes out in the middle of April

don'tburnthiscountry.com buy the book.

In some ways I now see don'tburnthisthing as a trilogy, right? So we had don'tburnthisbook, don'tburnthiscountry. What could be the next one?

We had an Australia tour planned for Don't Burn This Book.

I did not write the books as uh as well I can't say I didn't I didn't write the intention of writing them was not as a money maker they did make money in the book sold well and that is great um the intention of writing the books was that I felt like I had something to say especially if you Don't Burn This Book jordan kept telling me that I should write a book and then the opportunity presented itself um

I dedicated my first book to Ben Affleck because he went on "Real Time with Bill Maher" at that time with Sam Harris, and they were fighting about religion and everything. And it was like one of my wake-up moments because he was so insane and ridiculous and over the top and he was people think he was on steroids because he was training for Batman.

I did that. You're kidding? I did not know that. Any regrets right, by the first page of that book right? This one that "Don't Burn This Book"? Oh my gosh, look at this okay. I need to burn my glasses back on to see this. Okay, I'm going to take this home yeah. But so you haven't signed it?

I've told, and I've written about, in Don't Burn This Book, I wrote a bit about my story on 9-11.

When I wrote Don't Burn This Book, my first book, I sold about 30,000 copies, I think, in the first week, which should have been number two, I think, on the New York Times bestseller list. They put me at number 11 because they just lie about their whole thing.

when Don't Burn This Book came out we should have been number two on the New York Times bestseller and the sales numbers are very obvious because it's sales so they can't fake it like the sales numbers come through but then the New York Times just re-jiggers their list however they see fit.

I think I mentioned once, I've sketched out the basic idea for the third book and once we did, it was Don't Burn This Book, don't burn this country.

You can kind of think as to what the title of the next one might be.

And I do have a way of sort of, I think bringing it all together.

It's very much in line with some of the things that I've been talking about over the last week or so related to culture and politics and our behavior when you live in a system that seemingly is always gonna drag you sort of what you can do.

So it's a little bit of an extension off the middle book.

I was going to be going on a book tour for Don't Burn This Book, my first book, which obviously got canceled because of covid.

And I wrote about this in Don't Burn This Book. I believe in a strong military so that we don't have to use it.

And when I wrote the first two books, we actually especially in Don't Burn This Book, which was the first book, obviously I had way more related to my family. It started becoming more of an autobiography.

I've mentioned it here or there, or I wrote about it a little bit in the first book, Don't Burn This Book, but I lived in New York City during 9-11.

And then I just didn't have enough time for the Don't Burn This Country tour to to do the Europe thing because the book came out in April.

Don't Burn This Book

Don't Burn This Book

I get into all this in Don't Burn This Book.

I was supposed to be on a book tour for Don't Burn This Book. That's how crazy fast these last few years have gone.

Yesterday I ended the show by playing this little minute and a half or two minute segment from the audio book of Don't Burn This Book, where I laid out what my feelings on abortion are. And as you know, I describe myself as begrudgingly pro-choice.

I do not deny that when the sperm meets the egg, that that is the genesis of life. There has to be a beginning.

But really where we're at at this point is that half the country now seems to want to burn the thing down. And another half of the country is sort of feeling good, like, oh, maybe a little bit of the power was restored to the people.

Before this process started, I'd always been solidly pro-choice though in the last two years or so, I've begun to describe myself as begrudgingly pro-choice after learning more about the biology of gestation and the process of abortion and seeing the left fetishize it in a way that I'm not comfortable with.

My position of 12 weeks puts the focus on the mother up until a point, then says the government must protect the life of the child beginning at that point.

My belief is that the only way to negotiate this complex issue is to make a compromise even if it will most likely upset people on both sides.

In other words, the belief in individual freedom must extend to having confidence in people making the best decisions for themselves even if we personally believe they are ethically and morally wrong.

But I would say that humans need to believe, period.

But I think belief is so connected to what it is to be human, to be a fully functioning human that you will believe in something whether you believe it or not.

And I think one of the things that's been really interesting over the last couple of years is that people of faith, and it doesn't matter, the specific faith doesn't matter that much actually.

But there was a certain set of people who were just like, I believe in something else, something other than oh I pick up the New York Times and my God I have the Bible handed to me every day and here's what reality is because it ain't reality.

at the end of my first book, Don't Burn This Book, I made an argument related to God and belief connecting some of the classic liberal beliefs to that because I saw what you're now talking about.

when I wrote Don't Burn This Book, the first book, that when I took the begrudging pro-choice position that a lot of you wrote to me that you love the book and you just disagree disagreed with me about abortion.

Don't Burn This Book really was, hey, these are my ideas. These are the classically liberal principles that I try to live by. I also talked a little bit about my own evolution, obviously related to belief and my political evolution, of course, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

I wrote about it in my first book, Don't Burn This Book. I suffered from alopecia about five years ago for about two years. And it was quite horrific.

I wrote about it in my first book, Don't Burn This Book.

the book tour tickets have gone on sale today.

when I wrote the original book, Don't Burn This Book, which at this point came out two years ago, which is crazy.

So this is Don't Burn This Book. This is literally the first copy of Don't Burn This Book and you may see that it's kind of chewed through there.

It's about two years ago now when this thing came out

So I still have this thing and I would love to just give this to somebody.

It is the first copy of Don't Burn This Book and Don't Burn This Country is on the way out.

And I know many of you have seen this and I wrote about this in Don't Burn This Book.

It's the next steps in how you can take more control of your life, how we can sort of get off the crazy train that these people have put us on and what you can do to empower yourself and not only survive, but as the subtitle says, thrive in our woke dystopia.

I talk about that in my first book. Like that's my life is the, is the American dream.

I dedicated Don't Burn This Book to Ben Affleck because he's such a psychotic, hysterical leftist that he had that crazy moment with Bill Maher and Sam Harris on his show years ago.

I was booked on Real Time a couple times originally for Don't Burn This Book and then one other time after that and maybe one other time so the two or three times I've been booked they it got canceled for whatever reason

Obviously, the tour didn't happen because of COVID.

my book came out last uh april april 2020 of course Don't Burn This Book ben's book actually feels a little bit almost like a follow up to it and my new book which we're going to announce the title and the presale on friday actually feels like the next step in that so there's a little bit of a trilogy feeling there

this book is okay well now we're getting away from a lot of that stuff but how do you and I thrive in that atmosphere because I've been able to despite this craziness and I want to impart some of that on you guys so I think you're going to dig it and if you want to communicate with me directly for live streams live chat and more Ruben Report.locals.com

it's sort of part two I would say probably in what will be a trilogy actually because in Don't Burn This Book I sort of laid out what my beliefs are and the framework that I think is the best framework for an America or a Western society to be free and of course those are the classically liberal positions that I hold

I wrote about this in "Don't Burn This Book"

Let's discuss your book. Don't Burn This Book.

And when this interview is over, I'm gonna turn on my phone. I bet you I get an advertisement for it.

This book is well what do you do once you have those right ideas in the face of some really awful stuff, say an administration that won't say that communism is bad.

i would say you have to fight it like you have to because if you are a teacher and you know it's the wrong thing to teach and you still do it it's like at the end of the day like what are you as a human

i don't know how you could ever send a kid to a public school at this point meaning a public college

i would say the more important thing to do is really like try to i don't know how you do this exactly as a 17 year old but if but if you really tried to think about your life like what kind of person do you want to be what what work do you want to do like what what is it that you enjoy doing

i talk about this in in chapter nine of Don't Burn This Book um my experience with jordan peterson now i was an adult at that point and it was sort of an accidental mentorship because we just happened to be touring together but like find someone who's modeling a life and a and a career that that's something that you could aspire to

he actually really the only chapter in in Don't Burn This Book that that i really took any sort of outside help on was we really really got into it on the abortion chapter and he really did help me shift some some stuff over there

Don't Burn This Book came out in Spain a couple weeks ago. It's been number one. It's actually been the number one nonfiction book for quite some time now since it came out which is absolutely great

I'm really psyched about the book because it really is the next version of that was my defense of liberalism the liberals have failed liberalism what do we do now I think there's some new ideas in there I'm really I'm really proud of it I limited the Star Wars references I think it's the right blend of like info and humor and all that good stuff

one of the things I really missed about Don't Burn This Book was that I was supposed to be on a tour I had like a 50 city tour that was going to be you know basically all of May into June and then we were working on a European tour and we were working on an Australian tour and I was gonna just go to wherever I was literally going to go wherever that's what I said to the guys if someone wants me somewhere I will show up and talk about this book that's what I want to do

I also offered to give a Spanish copy of Don't Burn This Book which just came out last week, the official Spanish translation of Don't Burn This Book.

my new book which will be announcing in a couple weeks

we have one extra chapter in my book which is a lot very heavy on sort of the science of the future and it includes a bit about this and we're thinking of actually cutting that chapter and releasing that as a bonus for people that pre-order

I talk about this in Don't Burn This Book

Don't Burn This Book came out on April 28th of 2020 and somehow 51 weeks later I managed to get another manuscript in there and I think you're really gonna dig it.

Listening to the audiobook version of Don't Burn This Book, great book if you haven't read it.

I think we're doing a full book review. We have unlimited. I said I don't want any questions in advance. A book review of Don't Burn This Book.

the subtitle of my book "Thinking for Yourself in the Age of Unreason"

listening to the audiobook version of Don't Burn This Book, an excellent book by the way.

listening to the audiobook version of Don't Burn This Book, which I read myself,

I wrote about this in Don't Burn This Book but one of the last things that allowed me to say hey I am still a liberal

There was some guy who named his best selling book from last year, Don't Burn This Book.

the point of that book by that handsome fella was that when you say, Don't Burn This Book, it's like the things that I laid out in that book were basic, I think moderate for the most part, moderate positions.

I also have on DVD the Golden Girls episode when Blanche and Rose are caught with mud masks on which appear to make them look black.

I actually lay it out in Don't Burn This Book a sensible foreign policy

in Don't Burn This Book what I tried to lay out were what I think are the best principles for a free society to flourish and for you as an individual to flourish

that politics alone isn't everything so I'm going to expand on that a bit but really try to make this book much more about action than ideas

I don't want to just talk to people over and over about talking everyone's talking about talking everyone's on every platform now talking and having conversations and talking and talking

I'm interested in people who do who are fighting things who are actually making a difference and the book is going to be very much sort of pointed in that direction what can you now do in this whacked out world to make a better life for yourself

listening to the audiobook version of Don't Burn This Book which I read myself

in my section on foreign policy and Don't Burn This Book

Who would I want to play me? I mean it's fairly obvious Denzel obviously right? I mean it's not like clearly it would be Denzel. No, how about Chris Pratt?

People say that I look a little bit like Chris Pratt. I get that a lot especially with this when he's going with the half shaven look and also Chris Pratt is a conservative who's hated by the Hollywood elite. I can appreciate that so Chris Pratt, you're playing Dave Rubin in Don't Burn This Book, The Movie.

And by the way I am working on the second book right now and we'll announce some more stuff on that in the next little bit.

I was holding back a little bit on some of my feelings about Trump and some of the other things because I had written Don't Burn This Book a year before it came out in in April

Don't Burn This Book came out in April in the midst of the quarantine and the lockdown and everything and I was supposed to be on tour and we were we had sold out a bunch of theaters and it was it was going to be awesome and I love and I deeply miss going out on tour

the book had been written for about a year so I had been sitting on all those ideas for a year so the idea is when I started doing all this press and everyone would start talking about the book and and all this stuff and all the craziness with the left and the difference between liberals and leftism it was all stuff that I had been thinking about for years I had been writing about and then suddenly it was like super relevant

I called it Don't Burn This Book and then they were burning down the stores that the book was in and everything else

It was we coordinated with the launch of Don't Burn This Book.

I was still able to continue the show, launch my first book, do tons of media appearances, and connect with some old and some new friends.

I think I've been able to communicate ideas in a good way and I've paid the price for that.

Actually one of the things that I write about in Don't Burn This Book is that if you're ever going to take just a week off of social media that Christmas week basically rolling into the New Year's like that's kind of the time to do it right to focus on food, family, friends, remember those things.

Penguin Random House which is my publishing company by the way they're the people that published Don't Burn This Book the Canadian imprint they were they were having all sorts of problems because Jordan Peterson's new book is coming out and some of the some of the children who work there were very upset and they were crying because Jordan's a white supremacist and the rest of it which of course is the reverse of truth and it shouldn't matter whether an author is controversial or not because it's about how many books can this person sell and everything else so we get his feelings on that and much more so clip one is up and then the rest will be out throughout the week and of course the full episode is up on Ruben report dot com already

what put you on my radar was a few months ago a whole bunch of people started sending me a video of you talking about your your adventure and your journey and everything else and you happened to to mention that you read Don't Burn This Book and that it helped you in some way which is I don't even have the words to explain my gratitude for that I mean it's just beyond imagination considering what you've lived through

Originally, Jordan was supposed to write The Forward for Don't Burn This Book, but then with all his health stuff, he was able to write a little blurb. Whatever he could do was thrilled to get that.

I saw Don't Burn This Book in a bookstore for the first time.

I've seen it in Target a couple of times but I actually got to see my book in a bookstore which was pretty great.

There was a great girl in Savannah...she brought Don't Burn This Book which I signed for her I even remember your name

thank you to Dave Rubin, author of Don't Burn This Book, just announced on Fox and Friends that he is voting for your favorite president me

I write a little bit about this in chapter 10 of Don't Burn This Book of sort of how to say how to stay sane in this information war or in this reality war

I wrote a book, you know, thinking for yourself in an age of unear reason, right? Think for yourself and which which future do you think is right

Abigail Schreier, I'm sure you know the book Irreversible Damage, wrote an incredible book about the social contagion, particularly as it pertains to young girls transitioning to boys, not the other way around.

She was the author of Irreversible Damage, which was really like the premier book on the sort of social contagion as it pertains to young girls transitioning, quote unquote, transitioning to boys.

So this is what Abigail Shrier's new book is about, because basically what you're saying and what she writes about is that in essence, if you were to send a kid who was confused about their gender, which some kids could be part of growing up in puberty and everything else.

for any of you that have read Abigail Shryer's book Irreversible Damage we know there's a huge social contagion element to it

and then when you see the head of the department of sec education telling kids like oh you're great because of this it encourages more kids to do it these kids don't know what they're doing their brains aren't fully developed yet their bodies aren't fully developed yet they are they are literally as Jordan Peterson calls them they are butchering these children chopping up their genitals injecting them with all of this medication

you might wanna read Irreversible Damage by Abigail Schreier, thank you, who wrote an incredible book about how so much of what's happening to our children is a social contagion, particularly when it comes to young girls thinking they can transition and become young boys.

I would recommend you read Abigail Schreier's book, not an Inconvenient Truth. What is it? What? Irreversible Damage. Thank you. Not an Inconvenient Truth. It's something else. Don't read that book. Irreversible Damage by Abigail Schreier, who's been on the show and she's a good friend of mine.

Abigail Shrier wrote an absolutely spectacular book called Irreversible Damage where she goes into the data about how this is a social contagion of modern times especially when it comes to young girls you know quote-unquote transitioning to boys

Abigail Schreier, what was Abigail Schreier's book? It's a fantastic book. Irreversible Damage. Thank you. She wrote a fantastic book about this.

I would recommend that you read what's Abigail Shrier's book? Sorry, I'm blanking on the name. Great book. What is it? Irreversible Damage.

Abigail Schreier wrote a wonderful book about this and the evidence bears it out that it's not there suddenly 800% more trans people genuinely trans people than there ever were before It's that social pressures make young people do things so we have to change We have to flip the script so that the social pressure on young people is you should think freedom is cool

If you're a little confused about this stuff and what's happening to young girls who want to transition to boys specifically, you should check out my interview with Abigail Shrier, who wrote an extraordinary book about this.

If you're a little confused about this stuff and what's happening to young girls who want to transition to boys specifically, you should check out my interview with Abigail Shrier, who wrote an extraordinary book about this.

Abigail Shryer's books, book on young girls transitioning to become boys that people keep trying to kick off Amazon is called Irreversible Damage and I've interviewed Abigail and the idea that she's a transphobe is completely ridiculous.

she had an interesting tweet on this she said here are a few important things I know about Caitlyn Jenner she one let America Olympic gold two is devoted to her family three stands up to the woke for defense women sports five isn't Gavin Newsom so far she has my vote

My book has gone from Target.com even though it was selling very well.

After there was public outcry and response to public outcry, they put it back on and then they quietly deleted it again.

I have a lot of transgender friends. I mean, this is not I have I'm fully support not only rights, but transit the ability to transition from mature adults.

They just lie. They just make stuff up so that we can't have a conversation.

My book sold incredibly well. I mean, I've got 24 over 2400 reviews of my book on Amazon. People love the book, but they can't they won't be able to get it if Amazon disappears it and anybody who is every publisher is subject to Amazon.

I would highly recommend that you check out my interview from about two months ago with Abigail Shryer who wrote a book called Irreversible Damage where she uses data and facts to show you that there there is actually an epidemic of young girls it's mostly young girls transitioning to boys and they're doing at increasingly younger ages and then there are all sorts of regrets there are all sorts of medical problems there are all sorts of psychological problems

I wrote a book about it and because two Twitter users decided the book was transphobic, they told that they called it that to Target, Target removed it.

If you want to read that book, there are hundreds you could read.

there is exactly one book that did a deep dive into this phenomenon of teenage girls suddenly transitioning and it's my book and for the activists, even one book is too many.

The only thing I show in the book is that the current medical regime has no medical judgment in place. It's totally based on the judgment of teenagers.

It's based on the research of Lisa Littman, but the public health researcher who looks into why there was a sudden and huge spike in teenage girls who claimed to have gender dysphoria.

I had an hour long conversation with you. I assure you she is not a transphobe. She doesn't have an irrational fear of trans people but she does have a scientific lens to look at what is going on here and it's a really fascinating interview. I hope you'll check it out.

And that's just a fundamental thing that most people need, if I can loosely quote Jordan Peterson.

Did a guy write a book a couple of years ago about thinking for yourself in an age of unreason? That was a pretty good book.

It's mind-blowing what you just said. He said something to this effect. I'm paraphrasing. You know, Dennis, I don't know anybody who was as intense about the big issues as you are and who is as happy as you are. Who is as lighthearted.

And I think Jordan would even say Bill might be as close to the ability to do what he did in the book as possible.

And I was thinking as I was flipping through it before, there's something interesting about writing a book about happiness because it puts a lot of pressure on the author, sort of the way I always felt that Jordan was under a lot of pressure by writing 12 Rules for Life because man, if he broke one of those rules, then why would you want to buy this book?

read 12 Rules for Life. If you have not read it, I literally lived it

If there was one book that everyone could read. I mean look my easy answer on this is read 12 Rules for Life. If you have not read it, I literally lived it

It was it was incredible. I look back on it like did that happen?

sometimes about the book, sometimes about 12 rules, sometimes about one rule, sometimes about social media

it's like I had the best seat in the house every night because I was always stage right. So I would do the intro, shake Jordan's hand, give him a hug, he'd go out there for an hour and a half. But I'd be sitting on the stage watching the show every night.

when I first sat down with him for that 12 Rules for Life interview when we went through each rule it was like it felt dense and real and important to me and then to think that I got to spend a year of my a year and a half of my life like talking about that stuff with people and seeing people turn their lives around it's just it's awesome that's a privilege that I have

sort of like a little more female focused version of jordan peterson's 12 Rules for Life but guess what men can read it too and it doesn't have to be in a special section it's wild

they tried to stop Jordan Peterson's newest book, which came out this week. Even though 12 Rules for Life sold something like six million copies and basically kept everyone at Penguin Random House, which is my publisher, by the way, it kept pretty much everyone there employed and they tried to stop. Some employees tried to stop the second book.

It's really sustained me kept me going.

It was it was a ridiculous experience. It was unbelievable. That's it. It was unbelievable. It was a ridiculous experience.

I've talked a lot about this at some level and by the way I have Jordan Peterson on the show in a couple weeks and we will we will dive into this because this is exactly what he was warning about and I'm obviously super psyched to talk to Jordan again it's been great that he's you know making his his little foray back into the into the fight and he's got the new book coming out and all that stuff so what is it that these people get is a great question what do the what do the woke people get

Jordan Peterson guy...who by the way has a new book coming out next month and yes he will be on the show.

his new book's coming out in about two months

We should always be wary of any name that sounds like it could come out of a George Orwell book.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face. Forever.

If you're a communist and you've written a brilliant book like Animal Farm or 1984, do you really think you're going to be poisoning the brains of your children by introducing them to 1984? Good grief.

If you're a communist and you've written a brilliant book like Animal Farm or 1984, do you really think you're going to be poisoning the brains of your children by introducing them to 1984? Good grief.

Everybody needs to read or listen to George Orwell's 1984. When you have the government talking about how prices have gone down, rations have gone up. First of all, having gone down from rocket high prices because of incompetence is not a success, it's a mitigation of failure.

if you haven't read it lately, like you absolutely should.

Or you can even watch on YouTube. They've got these little synopses you can watch like an eight minute video that will sort of give you the full thing.

It's just yeah, fiction is no reality.

1984, man, if you haven't read it lately, like you absolutely should.

Orwell's got to be looking back going, Mama Mia, like, you know, like. This is too obvious.

Everything newspeak, the reversal of truth that everything that the system puts out will be a lie like the entire thing. It's all there, right? It's all there.

everyone should read 1984 if you haven't read it lately

My god, they're not all insane who liken the scheme to the ministry of truth from george orwell's classical classic novel 1984

if you want my full thoughts on 1984 and exactly how how prescient it was relative to what's happening right now I did a Prager U Book Club with Michael Moll's all about 1984 so you can find that on the Prager U channel but yes all the things that I talked about before the double speak the destruction of language no one saying anything honest people working meaningless jobs and just going from day to day it's all here the state looking down on all of us right like no one knowing history or truth it's all here it is in our face it is happening right now and I would say we have a limited window a shrinking window to stop it

We did 1984 together. And what she's talking about there is the memory hole. Why do they actually memory hole things? And I think there, there is a specific reason for it.

But also George Orwell's definition of that was very different than we might define it as now. But the parallels are so striking. The erasure of history, Orwell writes at length about that process. A new speak, which we might call political correctness, this total changing of the language to change our minds.

Their obvious solution is for the Biden administration to create a truth commission or, as it was called in George Orwell's "1984," the Ministry of Truth.

So much of what we hear about from the left is exactly what 1984 is about.

So words are violence now. But violence is not violence.

These are things that they create to actually make us question everything.

And then once you question everything, well then gender is up for question.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.

I don't know if you've ever heard of this but there was a book by a guy named George Orwell. It was written about gosh probably about 70 years ago something like that around 1950 maybe and George Orwell in 1984 many of you of course know in 1984 one of the things he talked about was new speak okay and I want to I want to actually read to you what new speak is in this dystopian society that he believed would occur in 1984 maybe it took a little bit longer than George Orwell thought but new speak this is the Wikipedia definition of new speak although Wikipedia has got a little new speak in and of itself.

Like you haven't seen 1984 I mean there's a movie hopefully you've read it but if you haven't done either one of those and you don't have much time I did a video with Michael Knowles for the Prager U Book Club where we dissect 1984 and in effect we ended up just talking about current events because there are so many phrases from 1984 and so much of the landscape politically that George Orwell talks about is happening now this is it.

That's why the smallest minority as Ein Rand said is the individual

And the idea is to sort of discuss it and spread it and introduce the younger generation to those ideas because the philosophy of socialism and communism are so widespread here in Israel that we are trying to sort of give open the mind of the younger generation to more ideas.

It's like why am I carrying this burden? What is my upside here so I can stand up and say look how tough I am on New Yorker?

The worst thing today is the attacks on ability. The, I call this today's atmosphere the age of envy actually.

And I ask you whether you would be attacked by people for your success.

Yes, yes I am. Well, that's what I regard as the most immoral thing on earth to attack a man not for his flaws, but for his virtues because to make a success of yourself in any line of rational activity is a great virtue.

And the people will attack you for exercising your ability for hard work, for consistency, for ambition. And they will want to make you feel guilty of it. That is the greatest evil according to my philosophy.

this is sort of what Atlas Shrugged is all about

the ideas of individual rights it is your job in this earth on this planet to fight for what is yours and that you shouldn't be outsourcing your decision-making to the government or to anyone else I think is pretty great I would say I have a lot in common with the objectivist I've always enjoyed going to Einrand events these are people who take ideas seriously love to debate don't mind disagreement on stuff which is really awesome

I will admit that I've never read Atlas Shrugged, I've never finished it. I've watched the movies, which I enjoyed and I know the basic plot and I kind of like the idea of Galt's Gulch, but I also worry that Galt's Gulch would be like the worst homeowner's association.

a man who also wrote one bestselling book with no words and another bestselling book with words that The New York Times decided not to put on their bestseller list.

his last book Speechless was just fantastic

Michael Knowles has become one of America's most fearless and important political thinkers in a time of unparalleled censorship. The fact that he put actual words in his book is proof of that.

I went in and I knew I wanted to write a book. I felt there was not really a very accessible history of political correctness, which now we also call wokeness or cancel culture.

I went into the book with this preconception that conservatives and classical liberals, I would lump together in this, understand free speech and censorship much better than the radical left does. And I was quickly disabused of this notion.

I learned that a lot of what we have come to regard as just, and I'm talking on the right, I'm talking among conservatives. A lot of what we've come to regard as the nature of our American regime and the kind of nature of the founding and how we understand ourselves in free speech is kind of bunk

part three of my interview with Michael Knowles all about his new book Speechless which is out right now is up on the YouTube and the full episode is up at Ruben report dot locals dot com

part two of my interview with michael nulls from the daily wire whose new book Speechless came out yesterday and from what i understand it's doing quite well

Michael Knowles has a new book out. It has words in it.

It's called Speechless. It's out right now part one of my interview with Knowles who really has become, I think one of the best political pundits.

the book is excellent. I read it, I gave him a little shout out in the book.

speaking of books i'm pretty much done with my book now i think i told you guys my book editor was here last weekend we plowed through a bunch of stuff we're going through the last bit of touches we finalized some stuff about the cover and i'll announce something soon we'll we'll go on pre-sale right before i go off the grid at the end of july and the book will be out in april

Your upcoming book, Speechless, is going to have a few more words, I presume I don't have the advanced copy yet. But you're the type of guy that it would be very easy for them to just take out. You've said scary things in your day. And I say very scary things in my new book.

I hope that you pre-order the book. I won't be surprised if the book is then taken off. I hope I hope that it will be available somewhere else. But I do think that the book is scary to them because one thing that conservatives have been pointing out is they're they're getting rid of Dr. Seuss, right?

Neo-racist like Rob DiAngelo, they say that to be white is to be ignorant for example.

That's actually mistresses sounding what what Robin DiAngelo's position is.

It's in her book but a lot.

i had a lot of friends post the black square after um after george floyd happened over the summer and i've just seen a lot of confusion among christian women who are my age who just want to know hang on what is actually true because i'm confused this sounds good this sounds right but there's something about it that doesn't seem quite true

What's like the hottest book on the left right now? It's White Fragility.

What's the subtitle of White Fragility? I don't know what it is exactly, but in essence, it's something like how white people can blah, blah, blah. That's racist.

That in and of itself is racist. Forget White Fragility.

It goes on to talk about the book, White Fragility as you know this book White Fragility which is being pushed everywhere and has been debunked a gazillion times.

And hence that's why in The Parasitic Mind, if you might remember in chapter six, I have a whole chapter on ostrich parasitic syndrome.

As I explained The Parasitic Mind, you can't in the pursuit of some noble goal, murder and rape truth.

So it's covered partly in Parasitic Mind, my earlier book, and in my next book, which I call Suicidal Empathy, right?

But then when I noticed how much people would respond favorably to some 100 character thing that I put up on Twitter, and then they're saying, my God, that's changed my life. And I would say, really? That struck me as a rather banal, obvious point to make.

Because Parasitic Mind, the previous book was about negative mindsets, parasitic ideas that infect your brain. I thought, well, why don't I now complete the story and talk about winning mindsets, optimal choices that you can make.

he just wrote a spectacular book

called The Parasitic Mind

he's been battling wokeism his whole life

he has an incredible life story grew up in lebanon during the lebanese war his parents were kidnapped by palestinian terrorists he eventually moved to canada as a thriving wonderful life and he's just a great guy

The Parasitic Mind by my friend Gad Sad, another one really going after the woke and they picked him up as well.

that I wrote a book against, that I wish had not happened but I sort of saw coming,

Abigail wrote a really wonderful book on the sudden explosion of young teen girls that are suddenly transitioning and the transitioning to to boys and in effect the entire cultural political machine and scientific machine that is driving it and she really exposes a ton of it the book is absolutely spectacular

Target ban the book because literally two people tweeted at them to get rid of the book and then there was an outcry now they've put the book back

I'll send you another copy of my first book. You might enjoy it.

I don't think you can disconnect that from having something to do with belief

believing in something helps keep people sane in the storm

my book, which is back there, I lay out all of what I believe are the other classically liberal principles that are the right way to run a society.

I used to really before public education or at least a role for the government in public education.

I talk about this in the book but I lost huge chunks of hair and it was because of stress.

if your whole worldview consists only of politics, it will be wholly miserable.

I wrote about that a bit in my book and it's one of the ideas that I've been trying to talk to you guys about over the last couple of months because the people that endlessly think about politics nonstop are the ones that are constantly hysterical, constantly want to control you, constantly want to tell you how to live.

i wrote a little bit about in my book

If you read my book, if you're let's say a disaffected old school liberal as I am or what I would also argue is just a new school conservative.

All he did was post a link to Andy Ngo's book.

All he did was post a link to Andy Ngo's book which was exposing the far left and Marxist-Communist connection with Antifa and really the Democrat base, the progressives.

He posted a link to it and said, hey, this is interesting.

Winston was canceled for just for linking to his book.

Andy Ngo has been on the forefront of trying to expose what has been going on between Antifa and BLM and the Democrats and all of these things as a movement really to upend America itself.

for a new chapter of my book Unmasked inside antifa's radical plan to destroy democracy

the highest selling book within conservative publishing so far this year is actually Andy's book on Antifa

he's the he's the guitarist guitarist right for Mumford & Sons?

Banjo player. Banjo player for Mumford & Sons he's the one who dared to recommend Andy knows scary book about Antifa.

it's a very scary book it's a scary book okay and you could hit someone over the head with it and hurt them

congratulations Mr. Andy Noh finally had time to read your important book you're a brave man

it's quite fascinating he said congratulations Mr. Andy Noh finally had time to read your important book you're a brave man okay so he read a book a guitarist for a popular band read a book and then congratulated the author this is a book that's you know been published by legit people and you know got good names on the back talk or Carlson Douglas Murray Ayaan Hursiali pretty pretty impressive I'm gonna guess that Winston Marshall here doesn't agree with absolutely everything perhaps that's in the book or certainly that Andy Noh believes they're probably different independent people but all he said was congrats on the book and you're a brave man you've tackled a difficult topic

the pain caused by the book I endorsed

for now please know that I realize how my endorsements have the potential to be viewed as approvals of hateful divisive behavior I apologize as this was not at all my intention

It is a movement in ideology and shadowy networks of people who call themselves antifascists but actually espoused in anarchist, communist, extremist ideology.

In my book, I look specifically because I got leaked documents internally from Rose City Antifa, which is the Portland Antifa organization, the largest one in the US.

So I can give estimates for let's say Portland because we just, we have so many data points of how many recurring nightly riots, how many people come.

She did, she did it right about down in the book so she tweeted out a link to her millions of followers for the Minnesota Freedom Fund which was the group that paid the bail for accused rioters in Minnesota but it wasn't just rioters that were being bailed out this organization was also paying the bail for accused murderers, accused rapists.

In January this year in response to the book coming out soon the Antifarm Portland chose to surround and protest for six days Portland's largest bookstore, Powell's Books which is quite like an important institution in the city and it's not just about them protesting the book.

If anybody's interested in this sort of process and this is a horrifying book if you want to read about how this process works you can read a book called Ordinary Men by Robert Browning okay you get it and the point is Ordinary Men don't become evil overnight they're pushed they're tested you see what you're willing to put up with and that eventually they take a few more of your rights or they inject you with this or whatever it might be so now let's connect that to largely what's happening in the world right now

There's a great book about that, it's a terrifying book called Ordinary Men.

And it's about the initiation of a police battalion from Germany who went to Poland after the Germans marched into Poland. Now, these were Ordinary Men. They were policemen, middle-aged, who had grown up before the Nazi propaganda mill got going.

By the end of this, which took months, these guys were taking naked pregnant women out into the middle of fields and shooting them in the back of the head.

And if anybody's interested in this sort of process and this is a horrifying book, if you wanna read about how this process works, you can read a book called Ordinary Men.

if anybody's interested in this sort of process and this is a horrifying book if you want to read about how this process works you can read a book called Ordinary Men

if you wanna read about how this process works you can read a book called Ordinary Men by Robert Browning.

But if you read the book, by the way, do I have the book? I don't have the book on the desk right now. But if you read DeSantis' book, he's very complimentary towards Trump actually and credits him where credit is deserved.

That's what his book is about, 'The Courage to Be Free,' which came out last week.

His book about the Florida blueprint came out yesterday, The Courage to Be Free.

So the title of the book is The Courage to Be Free, I've heard you obviously publicly and privately talk about fighting with the media.

if you're somebody that thinks in this day and age, standing for the right things is going to be cost-free, then you're in the wrong line of work.

But ultimately, if we want to maintain Florida as a free state and if we want to have a revival across America where our true principles are honored, that makes us unique, you're going to have to fight these fights and you are going to have to pay a certain price in terms of what people say about you and the opposition that you generate.

if people go to DeSantisBook.com, they can see some of the policies that kind of led to that.

That's why you deal with all the BS that you got to deal with, because ultimately, you know, you're helping make people's lives better. And we've been able to do that here.

His book, "The Courage to Be Free." "The Courage to Be Free?"

The Courage to Be Free is out today.

it's really all it's called The Courage to Be Free, but it's really about his Florida blueprint right

all the culture war mad libs can't distract from the dull coldness at this book's core and that it will leave some supporters who have encouraged DeSantis to humanize himself sorely disappointed

the most revealing and consequential element of the book is the insistence that the role of slavery and race more broadly does not seriously change anything about how we should understand the birth and development of our country.

Some of the books you're talking about, one is called, the governor just brought it up, it's called Gender Queer, a memoir, explicit pornographic book showing sex acts.

This is a book that's in some of the schools in California, Florida. This is not consistent with our standards called Gender Queer.

I put some lube on and got him on his knees and I began to slide into him from behind. I pulled out of him and kissed him while he masturbated. He asked me to turn over while he slipped a condom on himself. This was my ass and I was struggling to imagine someone inside me. He got on top and slowly inserted himself into me. It was the worst pain I think I have ever felt in my life. Eventually I felt a mix of pleasure with the pain.

So just to be very very clear here in Florida, they are not banning books. What they are doing right now is that the local school districts are doing reviews of books just to see what's on the shelves and each school district can make their choice as to what they are going to have in there, which of course makes sense parents and educators can come together and discuss what is age appropriate for students.

Now, what's fascinating about this book is we blurred out some images because we're a family show here, but we did see the images before we blurred them out and I really want to get this correct. So I've got everybody on the team. I need you all focused right now. What we are blurring out there is that there is a girl, we believe it is a girl who does not have a penis because generally speaking girls do not have penises who's using a dildo and then has her what we think is asexual friend performing oral sex on the dildo so she can pretend she's a boy.

So just one more time guys. It's a chick using a dildo to have what we think is her male or at least the male was identifying as using weird pronouns to perform oral sex.

This seems to be a reoccurring thing with these people that the Republicans are banning books and that especially Florida were banning books.

which is a cartoon style book with graphic images of children performing sexual acts. That is wrong. That has no place in the schools.

Gender Queer, a memoir, which is a cartoon style book with graphic images of children performing sexual acts.

I'm guessing, I think you either read, well, you certainly read it or maybe wrote a review of it even in Jordan Peterson's last book in 12 more rules.

Jordan Peterson talks about this. I think it was in his last book, in the second book, 12 More Rules. He talks about this quite extensively. It's like we're watching institutions crumble and maybe certain institutions do. But you have to really think, what are you going to replace them with?

the interview that I did with Jordan Peterson two weeks ago about Beyond Order

one of the new rules that Jordan has in Beyond Order which came out this week is that you should have one room in your house that basically restores some beauty.

his third book I should say Beyond Order comes out today and if you have not seen our full two hour interview it's up on YouTube right now

I just did a two-hour interview with Jordan Peterson...we are going to be releasing it on Monday

the book comes out on March 2nd Beyond Order comes out on March 2nd

we get personal uh we reminisce obviously a lot about the book and it was just so great to connect with him

my friend douglas murray who's been on the show many times and we have an interview coming out with him i think next week or so uh he's just he's just one of the clearest thinkers british conservative thinker if you don't know him he happens to be gay also he's one of my best friends he is a good decent man and he is he is an absolutely brilliant writer uh in his last book The Madness of Crowds and you should find my can we link to madness of crowds in the description on this one let's make sure we get that in there you should watch my interview with him because one of the things that he does so brilliantly is he separates lgb from t in the chapters when he's talking about this war on sanity and what The Madness of Crowds really is all about because the gay community got there in terms of equality the gay community got there just like the the black community got there just like women got there all of the just fights for equality you got to equality and the machine then the activist said no equality is not enough we want equity we want to take everybody down with us we don't want to build everybody up which is what america and capitalism and freedom is all about

my friend douglas murray who's been on the show many times and we have an interview coming out with him i think next week or so uh he's just he's just one of the clearest thinkers british conservative thinker if you don't know him he happens to be gay also he's one of my best friends he is a good decent man and he is he is an absolutely brilliant writer uh in his last book The Madness of Crowds and you should find my can we link to madness of crowds in the description on this one let's make sure we get that in there you should watch my interview with him because one of the things that he does so brilliantly is he separates lgb from t in the chapters when he's talking about this war on sanity and what The Madness of Crowds really is all about because the gay community got there in terms of equality the gay community got there just like the the black community got there just like women got there all of the just fights for equality you got to equality and the machine then the activist said no equality is not enough we want equity we want to take everybody down with us we don't want to build everybody up which is what america and capitalism and freedom is all about

If you haven't read it, Douglas Murray's last book, The Madness of Crowds...

one of the great things that he does in the book is he separates the the gay rights issue which was a a march for equality right it was a march for can we enter the same contracts as heterosexual people meaning can we get married and and by the way marriage and then family are the basic building blocks of western civilization so these are things that I believe that if you're a true conservative you should be for you're still entitled to your private religious beliefs on whatever you may think about homosexuality or anything else but you in essence want people to be able to build families that's a that's a key thing right to the operation of of a flourishing society what Douglas did in his book is he separates the gay issue at the gay rights issue from the trans issue which is a very very different beast and you can see it just bursting forth throughout society

not only with Abigail Shryer but with Douglas Murray who wrote extensively about it in The Madness of Crowds and several other people that it's this thing that's being pushed onto us that affects this tiny portion of people who I would never want to discriminate against but suddenly boys should be in women's bathrooms children should decide whether they're gonna get puberty blockers or not it's just like another thing that sort of widdles away everything that is sort of sensible about society it makes us, it makes good people be unable to have sensible conversations and I think that is a problem and it's actually there's gonna be a through line to some of the other stories that we're gonna talk about but moving forward because I am having this live get together this live meet and greet

He's really the American dream. This is a guy who grew up in opioid crisis, Appalachia, moved to Ohio, was and now is the vice president nominee. It's a crazy thing. It's beautiful.

President Trump represents America's last best hope to restore what, if lost, may never be found again. A country where a working class boy born far from the halls of power can stand on this stage as the next vice president of the United States of America.

His political identity is from Hillbilly Elegy. He's speaking to people from the Rust Belt. He's from Ohio, spent a lot of time in Appalachia.

What's important is one, his political identity is from Hillbilly Elegy. He's speaking to people from the Rust Belt. He's from Ohio, spent a lot of time in Appalachia.

J.D.'s book, Hillbilly Elegy, became a major bestseller and movie as it championed the hardworking men and women of our country.

I was raised by my working class grandparents in Middletown, Ohio, which is in southwestern Ohio. It's a steel town.

the book doesn't mention Clinton. It doesn't mention Trump. It's not really a political book in the classic sense.

people were picking it up, trying to understand like who are all of these voters who even, you know, some, some, a lot of white work class voters actually supported Barack Obama in 2008 or 2012, but have this really hard shift, right? And supported Donald Trump.

So I think a lot of the reason that the book did very well is people were picking it up, trying to understand like who are all of these voters who even, you know, some, some, a lot of white work class voters actually supported Barack Obama in 2008 or 2012, but have this really hard shift, right? And supported Donald Trump.

I haven't read the book. I would love to, but I've read it. It's way, way better.

Guys, did you see Ready Player One? Some of you maybe read the book Ready Player One or did you see the movie, the Spielberg movie from a couple of years ago? I mean, it is happening, right?

And I think probably the three of us have the same answer to that one.

man, just watch Ready Player One or read the book and then decide, do you want to follow Mark Zuckerberg into that world?

You absolutely should see it if you have not seen it.

if you don't know what this meta universe is i would recommend that you watch um Ready Player One or you could read the book Ready Player One

My full interview with Spencer Claibin, my buddy, his new book came out this week and we did like a half hour abbreviated version. It's called How to Save the West.

He just wrote a new book all about How to Save the West. He's really a great thinker. I think he's got a bright future in front of him.

I've got it right here in my hand, How to Save the West, Ancient Wisdom for Five Modern Crises.

as a published author with a hardcover book

in this book and throughout my whole career is that you look at the news cycle and every day it seems like there's some new crisis that is flashing across the headlines.

They're transing the kids all of a sudden. The economy is falling apart. The internet seems to be destroying everything and like America is breaking apart.

what I wanted to propose, and this is based on a lifelong love of the classics and of the great texts of the West, is that even though every day seems to bring kind of something new to fret about, a lot of the questions that are underlying our problems are questions that have been asked again and again.
