Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Adam Carolla and Jillian Michaels about their political journeys away from the left; COVID lockdowns, media bias, California's decline under Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass, and why many lifelong Democrats refuse to change their views despite mounting evidence; the influence of Joe Rogan, Larry Elder, Dennis Prager, and alternative media in challenging mainstream narratives; MAHA, RFK Jr., public health, and government policy; raising children in a polarized culture, the future of Los Angeles and California politics, and concerns about the next generation; the dangers of doomscrolling, social media algorithms, finding purpose through hobbies, and maintaining optimism in a divided America, and much more.
