Summary

Reason seems to be in increasingly short supply, which is unfortunate considering some of the messes we've found ourselves in will only be solved through reasonable thought, ideas, and people. Also unfortunate is that those who are the loudest seem to be the most unreasonable and only wish to perpetuate the problems we have in modern society and culture.

Today, I am joined by the one and only, Dave Rubin, New York Times Bestselling author of, Don't Burn This Book: Thinking for Yourself in an Age of Unreason. What I like most about Dave and this conversation is that he's willing to talk about the things you're not "supposed" to talk about including the myth of the gender gap, why "hate speech" should be protected speech, why not everyone is a Nazi as perpetuated by what he calls, the "lefties," and ultimately how to be reasonable in a world that seems to be anything but.

DAVE RUBIN

As I said before, my guest today is Dave Rubin and I'm sure many of you are already familiar with him and have some preconceived notions about who he is and what he stands for.

I've been following him for some time now and am fascinated with his journey from left-leaning progressive to a free-thinking classical liberal. He is the host of the Rubin Report and spent almost two years touring and opening for his friend and mentor, Jordan Peterson.

His background is in standup comedy but he has become extremely well-known for his podcast where he's interviewed Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, Ben Shapiro, Larry King, Dan Crenshaw, Adam Carolla, and so many more.

Today, he's here to talk with us about thinking freely and openly about some of our culture's most polarizing subjects.

IRON COUNCIL

Gentlemen, let me hit the pause button on the conversation and introduce you to the Iron Council.

I am amazed by the growth we've been experiencing over the past several weeks and I believe it's because men are beginning to see the value in banding with other men who have their back and want them to succeed.

If you were to strip away everything from the Iron Council, that's what it's all about – a band of brothers who will support, encourage, and hold you accountable. And, if you're like most men, that isn't something that you have in your life.

And, even if you do, the conversations stay on the surface and never get to the heart of what really matters and all that you're trying to accomplish as a family man, business owner, and leader in your community.

If you're ready to forge a powerful bond with like-minded men and chart the path that will lead you to where you want to go, I invite you to join the Iron Council at www.orderofman.com/ironcouncil.

Join our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council.

Reason seems to be in increasingly short supply, which is unfortunate considering some of the messes that we found ourselves in will only be solved through reasonable thought and ideas and people.

0:11.4

Also unfortunate is that those who are the loudest seem to be the most unreasonable and only wish to perpetuate the problems that we have in modern society and culture.

0:22.2

Today I'm joined by the one and only Dave Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of Don't Burn This Book, thinking for yourself in an age of unreason.

0:30.2

What I like most about Dave and also this conversation is that he's willing to talk about the things that you're not supposed to talk about, including the myth of the gender gap, why hate speech should be protected speech, why not everyone is a Nazi as perpetuated by what he calls the quote unquote lefties,

0:48.2

and ultimately how to be reasonable in a world that seems to be anything but.

1:18.2

Gentlemen what is going on today my name is Ryan Mickler and I am the host and the founder of this podcast and the Order of Man Movement. I want to welcome you here, I want to welcome you back regardless of how long you've been listening to the podcast.

1:30.2

This is the place to be if you're a man and you want to improve yourself and your capabilities and get the knowledge and the information and the skill sets and everything that you might need to thrive and succeed as a man then this is your outlet.

1:40.2

Guys before we get into it, I would just ask a very quick favor if you ever got any value from what we're doing here, please share this podcast specifically this episode because there's going to be some things that are controversial in this conversation and I know that it's going to be challenging for a lot of people to hear what it is that we're going to be talking about but it's good these are the types of conversations, whether you agree or disagree that we need to start having because if we don't have these conversations, I think we're going to find ourselves in a worse spot than maybe we are.

2:09.2

So this is going to be an interesting one but regardless if you found value in this or any other conversation then just leave a rating review, share it, send a text, whatever you can do to get the word out because this is a much needed message in society that of reclaiming and restoring masculinity of giving men everything they need to make themselves stronger, wiser, more knowledgeable, more capable and ultimately able to lead themselves their families their business as well.

2:37.2

That's what we're all about here. So we've got Dave Rubin on the podcast today we've had Jocke Willink, Grant Cardone, Andy Fricilla, David Goggins, men the lineup is phenomenal when I think back about who we've interviewed over the past five years, I feel very blessed and fortunate to have interviewed the incredible men that I have.

2:56.2

So we're going to get into the conversation here in just a minute. I do want to mention my friends and show sponsors origin. It's been several weeks since I talked about them. They've been pivoting they've been adjusting as have we all in this very uncertain and very strange time.

3:12.2

They were making a lot of masks, I think that they must have made tens of thousands of masks over a span of three to four weeks, but they're pivoting it again they're doing a lot of exercise equipment so they've got plyo boxes,

3:24.2

they've got this really cool thing called the burden bag which is essentially instead of a kettlebell it's a kettle bag. It's this leather bag. It's very well constructed.

3:35.2

You can open it up and fill it with lead shot or pennies or rocks or gravel or whatever. And then that way you can take it with you wherever you go if you're traveling or moving around you can take it with you and fill it with what you need.

3:46.2

And I think it gets up to maybe 40 pounds or so so they've got that the working on some some different mace options. It's very cool stuff very cool stuff. Just go check it out and also if you need any supplements then check out their nutritional supplemental lineup partnered up with the one and only jocke a willing.

4:02.2

They've got their discipline their joint warfare which is the thing that I take the most especially is I can either confirm nor deny that I've got back into jiu jitsu but I will say the joint warfare is good for the aching painful swollen joints anyways just go check it out origin main as in the state main origin main calm and use the code order or our DER check out and you'll get a discount when you do.

4:27.2

Alright guys let me introduce you to Dave if you don't already know who he is I'm sure many of you are already familiar with him and probably have some preconceived notions good or bad about who he is and what he stands for.

4:39.2

I've been following him for some time now and I'm actually pretty fascinated with his journey from a left leaning progressive to free thinking classical liberal and I didn't really fully understand what it meant to be a classical liberal so he actually explains that in the podcast and very fascinating.

4:57.2

He's the host of the Ruben report he spent almost two years touring and opening for his friend and mentor Jordan Peterson his background is actually in standup comedy but he's been extremely extremely successful and become well known for his podcast and again he's interviewed guys like Jordan Peterson Sam Harris Ben Shapiro Larry King Dan Crenshaw Adam Corolla just so many more so his lineup is amazing as well.

5:21.2

Anyways he's here to talk with us today about thinking freely and openly about some of our cultures and most polarizing subjects enjoy.

5:31.2
