Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Ayaan Hirsi Ali about her life and her work in trying to awaken the West to the dangers of religious extremism; why the parts of Islam that have given rise to entities like Hamas and the Islamic State need to be challenged; why the West needs to invest in winning the civilizational conflict by rescuing the minds of students and governing in a way that draws a line between Western beliefs and those of the extremists; her hope that organizations fighting for Western civilization can come together to form a movement for individual freedom; and much more.

| 0:00.0 | Right Ayan, my old friend, we have not seen each other for quite some time, but I'm glad to see you. I'm glad to listen to you and Jordan just a |
| 0:14.8 | moment ago the whole point of Arc is to tell a better story and I was thinking what's the |
| 0:20.8 | best way to start with you well your life is the |
