Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gets interviewed by guest host Michael Knowles about his new book "Don't Burn This Country", how he became a former atheist, and his 2024 election favorite. First, Dave discusses how the New York Times bestseller list is rigged to not reflect actual book sales. He explains why conservatives need to follow the model of Rumble, Locals and Jeremy's Razors and build better companies to compete with woke corporations. Next, he shares his personal journey from atheist to believer and the role that Jordan Peterson had in this change. Finally, Dave explains why Ron DeSantis is the best bet for Republicans in the 2024 US election and what he thinks the role of Donald Trump should be going forward.
