Leaving The Left

John Stossel

by John Stossel: Watching this video upset me. Students as well as fifty-fifty faculty members won't permit Dave Rubin speak. They constantly interrupt, shouting "hate speech!" as well as "black lives matter!"

Rubin was in 1 lawsuit a adult man of the left. He fifty-fifty was a co-host on The Young Turks network.

But as well as then he started a podcast.

He did long interviews amongst people similar speak exhibit host Larry Elder. In that interview, Rubin referred to "systemic racism" as well as said that "cops are to a greater extent than willing shoot if the perpetrator is black."

"What's your information for that?" replied Elder. Then he gave Rubin answers the left doesn't similar to hear, like, "Seventy percentage of homicides are black-on-black..." as well as "The thought that a racist white cop shooting dark people is a endangerment to dark people is consummate as well as full b.s."

"He only compaction me amongst fact over fact virtually how systemic racism doesn't be -- non that racism doesn't exist," Rubin told me.

The to a greater extent than people Rubin interviewed, the to a greater extent than he became convinced something was missing inwards the left's motion painting of the world.

"I realized non everyone that (the left) disagreed amongst could hold upward a racist as well as a bigot as well as a homophobe as well as a sexist. That was the declaration constantly beingness position out. If a Republican gave a speech communication as well as said, 'We should lower taxes,' their respond was, 'he's racist'. Now that really makes no sense."

Rubin immediately considers himself a classical liberal. That agency he believes inwards liberalism roughly equally it was earlier today's liberals added large authorities to the philosophy as well as subtracted belief inwards private freedom. "If you lot believe inwards the individual, as well as then you lot fundamentally empathise that individuals are different, therefore you lot are willing to sit down downwardly amongst someone dissimilar than you," says Rubin.

He however disagrees amongst conservatives virtually many things -- he's a married gay adult man who is pro-pot as well as pro-criminal jurist reform. But he constitute that conservatives are willing to struggle those topics. "For all the differences that nosotros convey -- I'm pro-choice; most of them are pro-life. I'm against the decease penalty; most of them are for the decease penalisation -- they're all willing to sit down downwardly as well as speak over ideas."

Some of his podcasts concluding 1 or to a greater extent than hours. I never thought people would hold upward interested inwards such long interviews, but I was wrong. Millions brain as well as spotter his YouTube videos.

"I didn't know what was going to happen, but I started doing these long-form interviews, as well as people kept watching. Suddenly, I realized, 'Whoa, there're a lot of people thinking the things that I'm thinking.'"

Today, his one-time left-wing colleagues abhor him.

"He's a puppet for the correct wing," said Ana Kasparian on Rubin's old Young Turks network. "He was lazy when he worked here. He's lazy immediately amongst his ridiculous show."

To me, she sounded jealous.

"I lose friends now," says Rubin. "This goes to the laziness of the declaration of the left. They genuinely believe that if you lot disagree, you're evil."

Many on the left convey equally good come upward to believe that words themselves are a shape of violence, therefore unopen to immediately said Rubin's words must non hold upward heard.

As he tried to speak at the University of New Hampshire, a women's studies professor screamed, "We don't desire you lot inwards the LGBT community, therefore teach the f--- out!"

"It's an oppression Olympics," Rubin told me. "The to a greater extent than marginalized you lot claim to be, the to a greater extent than political clout you lot convey on campus or inwards left-wing circles... If you lot convey a limp, you're this much oppressed; if you're a Jew, this much oppressed; Muslim, this much oppressed. Everyone wants to hold upward oppressed."

Of course, many minorities convey suffered genuine oppression. Rubin acknowledges that but says the left misses what's particular virtually America.

"No society's perfect, but the United States, past times as well as large, has given to a greater extent than liberty to to a greater extent than people from every walk of life, regardless of your peel color, your sexuality... Do nosotros convey problems? Yes. We tin move speak virtually those things, but to tell me those are because you lot are 'oppressed'?! It ain't true. And that thought needs to hold upward decimated."
