The rubin report is very good.
Also check out Rubin's interview with Sam Harris:

I like Dave Rubin's show, but it's too bad he discusses the same thing with all his guests...

"Islam is bad. Political correctness is bad."

Orly?

That could use a bit more nuance, but I do agree the regressive left is too much of a recurring topic.
Closer to what to he is saying, as I interpret it at least, would be "Islamism is a problem, and is not unrelated to terrorism" and "political correctness should not be prioritized over freedom of speech and intellectual honesty".
"I advocate infinite effort on behalf of very finite goals, for example correcting this guy's grammar."

First time I've seen anything with her. She is beautiful, to the point, and expresses herself very clearly.
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.
