Summary

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to David Webb (Host of Reality Check) about the seventh chapter of “Don’t Burn This Book”, entitled "Stop Hating (Straight) White Men, America, and Western Values." Special guest David Webb and Dave Rubin share the story of how they became friends despite Dave being a liberal and David being conservative at the time. They stress the importance of learning how to listen to different opinions and getting out of your echo chamber whether you are a Democrat or a Republican. One of the many ways to accelerate your personal growth is to question everything you believe, and be open to changing your opinion if new facts present themselves. David also discusses the time he was accused of benefiting from white privilege by CNN’s Areva Martin, because she didn’t know he was black. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:49.2	I'm David Webb and welcome to Dave Rubin's Book Club, something I thought I would never say in

1:07.2	Western values and my guest today, the one and only Dave Rubin, are my your guest.
1:14.6	We're each others guests, Webb. We are changing the internet by being civil to each other,

1:40.5	Right on, brother. Well, I can only do water right now because I got a bunch more interviews later,
1:44.7	but there we go. So I want to say that you were the perfect guy for this chapter. We tried to
1:51.2	select people that obviously it made sense for each one, but this idea of stop hating straight white
