Alright, what up, peeps! It's December 17th, 2020. I'm Dave Rubin. This is the Rubin Report.

Direct message. We're going to be doing four stories for you. But before I do anything today,

I got to bid a good news this morning. I'm in a good mood and I want to share a little something with you.

Before we show you the pictures, for those of you that read my book and have been watching this show for quite some time,

I've mentioned this a few times on the show before, but just a handful of times, maybe three or four times,

that's it. Although I do write about it pretty extensively in Don't Burn this book. When I sort of came out politically,

which was starting about five years ago right now, it was about the winter of 2015, when I started talking about,

like, sort of how crazy the left was going and that they were no longer adhering to liberal principles,

and what was happening on college campuses and why are we, you know, me at the time,

why are we the leftists, the ones that are canceling everybody and calling everyone bigots and racists,

and why aren't we arguing and using logic and reason, and all of that stuff, two things happened at the same time.

On one hand, I started getting all these new fans, and I felt like I was saying something important and relevant,

and it was something that sort of everyone's talking about now, but I happened to be one of the first guys

talking about it, and I was getting all this love, and that was great, and our views were going up,

and all good stuff there, but the counter to that, and which in many ways was worse than the good stuff,

you know, sort of almost like eight, the good stuff, was that I was getting an incredible amount of hate,

so suddenly like the unending Twitter mobs, and, you know, former friends, and former colleagues of mine

telling me that I was a racist and a bigot, and a Nazi, and all of this stuff, and I never expected that,

like I just thought, oh, I'm just saying what I kind of think is wrong with the left, and guys,

let's be liberal, let's talk about it, I'll invite you all on my shows, like let's work it out,

but then I got this just unending torrent of hatred, and people saying horrible things about me,

and hit peace after hit peace being written, and I'm all right, and I'm racist, and all of that stuff.
