unidentified		All right, people.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Hello, we're live streaming!
		I'm very excited today.
		I just got in from New York.
		Some of you may have seen I was on the Greg Gutfeld Show on Fox News on Saturday night, had a great time.
		Live studio audience, I think that may be a move we're gonna have to make here at the Rubin Report at some point.
		It was great, good times over there.
		So I was in New York for a couple days, saw the family, got on a plane the first thing this morning, I don't want to brag, but Samuel L. Jackson was on the plane.
		Like, you cannot possibly get a better celebrity sighting on a plane, nor feel safer on a plane.
		I wanted to say something about snakes, or may the force be with you, or something, but I...
		Let it be, but I did tweet at him in case he wanted to meet by the bathroom or something.
		It didn't happen.
		Anyway, guys, I'm super excited today because we cracked the 400,000 subscriber mark on the YouTube.
		We started this show back in February of 2013 when we were on The Young Turks, it seems like many lifetimes ago, and it took us about a year and a half to get 100,000.
		100,000 subscribers.
		I think we hit that in September of the following year.
		Then it took us about six months to get another 100,000, another four months to get another, and now it took us like three months to do this.
		Last month was by far our best month.
		We're crushing it on all fronts.
		The audio podcast is killing it.
		I'm just, I'm humbled and honored and excited that you guys have made me a little part of what you do about Some of the information you get and that you like the interviews we do and listen to me talk politics and talk social stuff and play some video games and stuff like that.
		So, it's YouTube week over here.
		Yesterday we posted with Colin Moriarty from Kinda Kinda Funny Videos and we played some video games after that some of you guys may have seen that we streamed on Periscope, but I'm very excited.
		I'm super excited.
		Okay, the guys over at RetroVision, HD RetroVision, they hooked us up.
		So this is the RetroUSB, the AVS RetroUSB old school Nintendo, okay?
		Eight bits of pure video game power.
		That is my Super Mario 2 from childhood.
		So some of you may remember that a couple weeks ago I was back at my parents' house in Long Island, and I found my childhood Nintendo Entertainment System.
		This thing had not worked in literally 15 years.
		I took it apart, screwdriver, I live tweeted the whole thing.
		I mean, this thing was in pieces, cleaned it up with rubbing alcohol,
		did every little, got into every little nook and cranny and corner, three hours,
		and I brought this thing back to life.
		And we have it in the green room here so that the guests can play Nintendo,
		and a couple guests have.
		uh...
		By the way, since it's 400,000 today, I'll tease that tomorrow's guest is another gamer, Sky Williams, who many of you guys know here on the YouTube, and we played old school NES baseball.
		His choice of what game we were gonna play I beat him 8-0.
		Just saying.
		The guy makes his living playing video games.
		I'm a 40-year-old retiree.
		You know what I mean?
		With a bum knee.
		Beat him 8-0.
		Anyway, so, I'm super excited.
		So, Nick and Ste over at HD Retrovision, these things are impossible to get.
		This retro USB Nintendo.
		They gave us their own.
		So, thank you guys.
		And I'm super excited.
		And also, there's just so much going on.
		There's so much going on politically, socially.
		There's so much upheaval in the country.
		People think that all hell's breaking loose.
		And I'm still, as I've said many times, even though I think that there's a lot of craziness right now, I'm very hopeful for the future of what's going on here.
		And I'm gonna be traveling a lot more.
		I'm doing a ton of stuff at colleges that we're gonna post publicly soon.
		And it's very cool.
		So how can I celebrate?
		400,000 subscribers.
		We're going to do it with a little Nintendo.
		That's right.
		We're going to start with Contra.
		Oh, and by the way, I should mention that we've enabled Super Chat on the YouTube chat over here.
	So I'm still the guys.
	I literally walked in the door like a half hour ago, got off the plane.
	I didn't know we had this Nintendo here.
	I was not ready to do any of this.
	But Amir and David work hard even when I'm out of town.
	So they got the Super Chat going.
	We got the Nintendo going here.
	I'm going to play some Nintendo.
	We're going to talk it out via Super Chat.
	You'll be able to bump your chat up higher, and then they're going to read some comments, maybe do some Q&A, all that good stuff.
	But I know that more important than anything else, people want to see Nintendo.
	So we've hooked this thing up to the TriCaster.
	Look at this.
	Look at this.
	I'm controlling that right now.
	What a world this is.
	Apparently, people have been doing this online.
	I guess on their fancy PlayStation 4s and their Xboxes.
	Uh, so let's see here.
	I am going to play Start Card.
	I think that's what I'm going to do.
	Yeah.
	Now I'm going to do the up, up, down, down.
	Up, up, down, down.
	Left, right, left, right.
	B, A. Start.
	I'm going to play some Contra for you guys.
	I think I can beat this game on 30 lives alone.
	Usually I play with a partner.
	Maybe I can get David Erdemir in here.
	They're a little shy.
	So I'm going to play a little Nintendo.
	I know this is a little different than what we normally do.
	But for me, this is basically as good of a way that you can celebrate 400,000 subscribers.
	Sure, we could, you know, do it with a lot of drinking and, you know, whatever, celebrities, things like that, but I think playing Nintendo is better.
	Can I beat the first board?
	Oh man, spread's up there and I can't.
	I can't get back there.
	That's the thing, you can't go back the other way.
	That's rough, that's rough.
	All right, so if you jump on the Super Chat, David and Amir are gonna run off some comments to me and some Q&A stuff.
	I'm gonna let the F go, the F is fire, but I like the machine gun here.
	How many lives do you think it will take?
	How many lives can I, will I die to beat Contra?
	Anyone wanna put money on it right now?
	Who's gonna, what's the over under on that?
	Um, let's see, hold on, hold on, it's gonna be hard to talk and play.
	I gotta focus, you know, I'm a little out of my element here.
	You know, I'm not, you know, this is in 1984, you know, when I was at my prime-o video game playin' days here.
unidentified		Ah!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, that was pathetic.
		Alright, I should not have, whoa, oh, alright.
		All right, hold on.
		Okay, okay, let me just get up here.
		I gotta focus.
		It's hard.
		I gotta talk to you guys and, you know, kill lots of machines and these weird guys down here.
		All right, all right, now I got my rhythm.
		Here we go.
		Feeling good, feeling good.
		Watch, this is nothing.
unidentified		Come on.
unidentified		Yeah, all right, all right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		10 lives, 15 lives.
		Can I do it in 10?
		I mean, I blew it with that.
		To lose two on the first board is pathetic.
		That's...
unidentified		Oh, three lives down.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It's hard talking to you guys.
		How do these video games guys do it?
		They're talking to you guys while they're playing?
		All right, all right, all right.
		Here, now we're gonna get through board one.
		All right, David, if you got some things for me on the super chat between...
		All right, so people want me to talk politics and play.
		This is a nightmare.
		I gotta talk politics and play video games at the same time.
		This is the future of entertainment, people.
unidentified		Okay, whoop.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, I gotta pay.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		I see a lot of girls in the apps of the far left and antifa as well.
		How many of you folks have that experience?
		Do you find it helpful?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright, that was a comment about the far left and antifa and uh...
		I'm dealing with antifa right here.
		You know?
		Who's more violent, Antifa or these guys that I'm trying to take down right now?
		Alright, so I gotta wait here because I want to get that red guy.
		See, that's what you want there.
		You want that machine gun?
		Yeah, there we go.
		Now we're feeling good.
		Alright, alright.
		Okay.
		By the way, just for the record, I do have other games here.
		We've got the original Mario Brothers.
		No, not the original Mario Brothers.
		We've got Super Mario Brothers.
unidentified		And we got... Alright, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Man, this is taxing my brain!
		Talking to you guys and trying to beat Contra.
		This is great.
		Alright, here we go, here we go.
		Here we go.
unidentified		Alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, you know, this is the future right now.
unidentified		Ooh, alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Do I wait for spread or do I keep this machine gun going?
		That's a real strategy move right there, you know?
		Let's see, let's see, let's see.
		This is tough here.
		Oh, I'm stuck in this corner.
		So when I was on the plane... Hold on.
unidentified		I don't want fire, I know that.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I may have pinned myself into a corner here.
		So when I was on the plane... Oh, mother... Alright, hold on.
		I can't keep talking to you guys and trying to pay attention at the same time.
		I watched a couple movies.
		So I watched the original Total Recall, which many of you may know is my favorite movie of all time.
		I could watch that movie a thousand times.
		So I watched that.
		I watched Running Man.
		Pathetic.
		How many guys have I lost?
		We'll find out in a second.
		And then I watched... This is tough.
		If I'm talking to you, it's gonna affect my ability to play, you know?
		Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
		Can you guys talk amongst yourselves, or... Can we do something with Super Chat here?
		David and Amira should be talking to these guys, you know?
		Alright, alright, alright, hold on.
unidentified		Getting the old... Jesus.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		This is embarrassing.
		I'm losing all my cred.
		Yeah.
		Yeah, read me some comments.
		I mean, it's hard to pay attention.
		There we go.
		All right, all right, all right.
		Now I got some time here.
		Geez.
		I must have died eight times already?
		This is rough.
		Eight, I guessed it, eight times.
		All right, Waterfall.
		Waterfall, I have to jump up while talking to you guys and paying attention?
		Oh, this is gonna be tough.
		This is taxing, you know what I mean?
		Like, people say dealing with the regressive left, bunch of, you know, liars and buffoons and well-intended morons.
		They say that's tough, but I've been playing Contra on Nintendo, live streaming on YouTube while, whoa, Lost the laser!
		This is much more hard.
		Here.
		I'm gonna just pretend I'm taking out regressives.
		How about that?
unidentified		Oh, that's it.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		There we go, there we go, there we go.
		Okay, okay, okay, okay.
		I gotta get a good spread here.
		Is there a spread on this board?
		I'm not even sure.
		What are your thoughts on the Nintendo Switch?
		So I haven't played it yet, but I stopped by GameStop in New York City yesterday, and they were sold out, so I didn't get a chance to see it.
		But it looks pretty cool.
		Hold on, hold on, hold on.
		This is really funny, how video games sort of just came back into my... Oh, sorry!
		Pathetic.
		Pathetic.
		Alright, here we go.
		That they just kind of came back into my life because I fixed the old, the old childhood system and like the whole thing just came back, came right back to me.
		Alright, I think we got a spread right here.
		Alright, now we're in business, people.
		Okay, okay, okay.
unidentified		No, no!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Damn that jammed B button!
		All right.
		All right, all right, all right.
unidentified		All right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So this is what PewDiePie's doing all day, huh?
		This PewDiePie fella?
		All right.
		If I made a couple Nazi jokes, I could probably... No!
		Why?
unidentified		Hold on, hold on.
unidentified		Hold on, hold on, hold on.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What's going on down here?
		Let's see, something good?
		Oh, you closed up for me?
unidentified		Alright, alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		This is funny because, you know, I have a lot of new subscribers.
		We got, like, about 50,000 subscribers, I think, in the last maybe 40 days or so.
		We've been averaging about 1,500 a day.
		And there's plenty of people who are just very, very serious political people, too, which is great.
		You know, like, I love that, too.
		But if you're just tuning in and you don't know what I do on this channel and you just subscribe, you may be... This is very, uh, not necessarily indicative of what's happening here.
		All right, hold on.
		Here we go, here we go.
		This is tough with no weapons.
		Pathetic!
unidentified		No!
		Oh!
		Sorry guys.
		Sorry guys.
		Hold on, hold on.
		Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Hold on.
		This is hilarious.
		There we go.
unidentified		Okay, okay, okay.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Now I get rid of this thing.
		I think this controller definitely needs to be greased up.
		There we go, get rid of the arms.
		Okay, now we're in business.
unidentified		Now I can just sit back over here and do my thing.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, so we're gonna get to the next part.
		I'm not gonna die here.
		Any idiot could do this.
unidentified		All right, all right, all right, all right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Okay, the hand, the claw, you know what I mean?
		You get older, you start playing.
		This is not an ergonomically designed thing.
		Not for a human hand, but I'm okay.
		Don't worry about me, guys.
		All right, we got to get some weapons here.
unidentified		Oh, Jesus.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		If I don't beat Contra on 30 guys on a live stream to celebrate 400,000
		subscribers, it will be a disaster of epic proportions.
		All right, so how's that Super Chat going?
		So we just enabled that thing, so I think, so I don't know about it that much, but basically I think what it enables us to do is for you guys, because, you know, I don't know if you guys know this, but the YouTube comment section can be quite psychotic.
		So Super Chat basically enables Dave, I'll ask you questions in between games, okay?
		You want me to ask you in between boards?
		You can keep your comment up there for a long time, thus ensuring that we see it.
		All right, now we got a weapon here.
unidentified		Dave, I'll ask you questions in between games, okay?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, Dave, in between boards?
unidentified		You want me to ask you in between boards?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		In between, you could ask me questions if you can, you right here, I suggest.
unidentified		All right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		But I'll try, I gotta focus.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		This is multitasking at the highest level.
unidentified		(grunts)
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh no, no, no, no, no.
unidentified		I mean, these are pretty intense questions.
unidentified		I don't know that you're going to be able to do them while you're playing.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		But if this is what Super Chat people, these are good people.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, come on.
unidentified		Oh, I missed the red guy.
unidentified		Did you see that?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Do you want me to ask you the first one again?
unidentified		What?
unidentified		Do you want me to ask you the first one again?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no.
unidentified		All right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So hold on.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Hold on a second.
unidentified		All right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		I got to get through this board.
		I lost the red guy.
		See, the key is you want to stick around long enough to get the good weapon from the red guy.
unidentified		All right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So I gotta stick around.
		So you get rid of one of these, right?
		Now I wait a second.
		A lot of strategy involved here.
		You know, I know you kids are playing your fancy games these days.
		This is... Ah, see?
		Now I wait, get my red guy.
		What happened there?
unidentified		Bullshit.
unidentified		Alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We're gonna just go through this one.
		Alright, David's gonna fire off some questions at me, but maybe not... Yeah, for this one.
		I think this one's easy enough.
unidentified		Alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		There we go.
		Alright, we got it.
		Rapid.
		That's the worst.
		It just makes my gun shoot a little faster.
		Nobody needs that.
		Not when you have this incredible dexterity that I have.
		The thumb control that I have.
		Jumped over that one nicely.
		Alright, alright, alright, alright.
		400,000 subscribers, people, and I did it without playing video games the whole time.
		You know what I mean?
		Everyone else on YouTube has been playing video games.
		I waited until I had 400,000 subscribers.
		Don't worry, by the way, the show is not changing.
		It's going to continue to be an interview show, not a... Oh, come on.
		Spread, there it is.
		Now we're in business.
		Alright, now we're in business.
		Alright, let me focus on Spread here for a second.
		You're okay.
		By the way, guys, I'm a little dehydrated.
		I got off the plane, should've had some water if I knew I was running right into video games.
		Did not know.
		Did not know.
		They threw me right in.
		Nobody wants the F right now.
unidentified		Okay.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What's happening here?
		So yeah, if you jump in on the super chat... Alright, I'm just gonna plow through this one.
		Plow through... See, you don't need to waste any time here.
unidentified		Oh, come on now.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You see what happened?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		The machine gun just went directly to me.
unidentified		Oh I'm- OHOHOHO NO!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		No!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I was just about to say, I'm feeling it.
unidentified		No, no, no, no, no, no.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		This freaking, all right, and I think this guy, His head... Oh, that was... Something happened there.
		I think that was a glitch in the system.
		What are these guys doing?
		They're freaking out up there.
		I can't... What?
		Something doesn't seem right up there.
		I legit think there might be a glitch in the system right now.
		Yeah, I'm supposed to be able to shoot them, I think.
		Wait, what's happening here?
unidentified		Dave, so you'll take questions in between the boards, okay?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I'll take questions.
		Alright, alright.
		I'm gonna take questions.
		Hold on.
		I gotta make something happen here.
		Why?
		Alright, come on now.
		Come on now.
unidentified		Hold on.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Hold on.
		In between boards.
		Taking questions.
		The thumb!
		The thumb!
		The pain has begun.
		The incredible pain.
		What's happening?
		Why is this taking so long?
		The pain!
unidentified		Ugh!
		Alright.
		Come on, Al.
		I gotta get rid of this guy.
		Why?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Something doesn't seem right here.
		There's a glitch!
		There's a glitch!
unidentified		What?
unidentified		What's the glitch?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I don't know!
		I can't kill this guy!
		I don't... I think... I legitimately think something is wrong here.
unidentified		What are you... Like, it just won't... It just won't end?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, there we go!
		Maybe no... No, no glitch.
		I was just playing shitty.
		Alright, alright.
		Alright, I can't die again here.
		I can't die again here.
		Gotta take care of that guy.
		I'm sorry, guys.
		I'm embarrassing.
		I have so many wonderful people watching, great people from all over the world, and
		dealing with different problems in their own countries, their own personal lives.
		And I'm embarrassing people by not playing.
		Oh, God.
		Come on now.
unidentified		[laughter]
unidentified		Hold on, hold on.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I gotta beat this thing.
		I'm gonna have to take a break.
		Can we get a masseuse here?
		Alright, here we go.
		Alright.
		Alright, we got some questions?
unidentified		How Super Chat works is if you click that dollar sign at the bottom, you select how much time you want to have it up.
unidentified		So some of these people that are selecting more time, you've got to answer these questions.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, all right.
		OK, OK.
		We're going to pause.
		OK, so we're going to pause for just a second here.
		Let me just pause for just a second so we can catch up to speed.
		All right, first off.
		Can I get some water?
		All hell is breaking loose as far as the Contra universe.
		There's a lot happening.
		I think I might have died about 25 times already.
		This is embarrassing.
		This is so embarrassing.
		But you know, they threw this at me.
		I didn't know and I just got off a plane.
		I'm a little dehydrated.
		So you got to bear with me on that.
		So a super chat works.
		So basically there's a dollar sign next to the comment thing, right?
		So and depending on how much you put in, your comment will bump to the top for longer.
		So we have to pause right now so that I can catch up to be fair to you guys.
unidentified		Okay.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Okay, now I got what's happening here.
		So to be fair, so we're going to pause for a little bit, so I'm going to answer some questions.
		Also, I need to, I'm going to just stretch out the, the, the, what is this here?
		Do we have any people that are maybe physical therapists?
		This thing ain't right right now.
		All right, so I'm going to answer some questions.
		So do you want to fire off some questions?
		And I'm going to stretch out my thumb.
		And then we'll get back to the snow field.
unidentified		All right, I wanted to let you know that I watched a documentary called The Weather Underground.
		I see a lot of parallels between the acts of the far left and Antifa as well as the CIA with Vault 7 that mirror the Count, the Count-el-Pro.
		You know what that means?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Cointelpro, yeah.
unidentified		Cointelpro, sorry.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So basically you're talking about the Bill Air's Weather Underground and how it sort of relates to the left today and Antifa.
		Antifa, these anti-fascists.
		Who use violence to stop speech, which I'm pretty sure is a fascist activity.
		Irony is in their strength.
		Is there some relation to that?
		Well, look, one of the things that I say on the show all the time and why I personally put free speech above everything else is that everything comes after free speech.
		Our ability to negotiate, our ability to be in a fair society, forget a fair society, our ability to be in a functioning society comes from our ability to debate and have free speech first.
		So if you are going to paint all of your opinion, all your opponents, Nazis and Hitler and racists and bigots and homophobes and blah, blah, blah, you're going to do all that Well, then the next move is violence, right?
		You've pinned yourself into an intellectual corner where you say, oh, that guy's a Nazi, and then suddenly it's okay to punch Nazis.
		And then, and by the way, Nazis don't exist.
		Not to say there aren't racist people and there aren't real white nationalists and things of that nature, but Nazis were not in Indiana Jones, and this is in 1941.
		But basically, if you use all these words, and then you say, it's okay to punch Nazis, well then can you burn down a Nazi's house?
		Can you blow up their car?
		What if their kid is on the way to school?
		Can you punch a guy who sits down and sits across from a Nazi and all that?
		So I do see some parallels there, and we have to watch out for that.
		And that's why we have to fight these ideologies.
		I'm not trying to fight people.
		I'm trying to fight shitty ideas.
		And I'm a firm believer that if we let all these ideas out there, that the good ones will win.
		All right, what do we got next?
unidentified		This is super chat, people.
		LA Times projects about 20% of LA voters to go to the polls today.
		After November, LA was rioting, but now where are they?
		Is this indicative of a crybaby culture that whines but fails to act?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we have a huge crybaby culture, and people think it's easier, or they know it's easier, and in fact it is easier, if you just tweet about things and hashtag about things and show your outrage all the time, and you're the biggest victim, thus you're the most virtuous It's actually insanity, right?
		That's not how a normal functioning society should work.
		You have to become part of it.
		Use your voice.
		Use your vote.
		All of those things.
		All of these people protesting right now, it's like, how many of them actually voted?
		You gotta get out there and make your voice heard.
		Instead of just telling everyone how horrible things are or how great they would be if only your people were in charge, you gotta do the things to be part of the system to change it.
unidentified		Somebody wrote Deus Vult, which I'm guessing you don't know what that means, so I googled it.
unidentified		It was the battle cry by the Crusaders at the declaration of the First Crusade by Pope Urban II at the Council of Claremont in 1905, when the Byzantine Empire requested help and defense from the Seljuk invasion of Anatolia.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I don't think that's a question, but I thank you for that interesting comment.
unidentified		Somebody else just wants to ask, can you get Sticks and Hammers 666 on your next YouTube week?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		A few people mentioned that name to me, so we've got master lists of, believe me, we have probably, quite literally, probably 100 YouTubers that we want to talk to, and we're going to do more of this stuff.
		We're just in day two, by the way, of YouTube week.
		You're going to like what we have coming for you.
		So yeah, we're going to do more of that, and I'm pretty sure he's on the list.
unidentified		Uh, and somebody had a suggestion.
unidentified		Why don't we just pause the game every time a Super Chat question comes in?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Why don't we pause when a Super Chat comes in?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I think that's fair.
unidentified		There we go.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Now, there's a risk there because it could throw me off my focus.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		But, how many more do we have right now?
unidentified		That's it.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so that's what we're gonna do.
		We are gonna pause when Super Chat comes in.
		Look, I'm burning up in here.
		No water, playing Contra, my thumb messed up, but here we go.
		All right, Amira, bring us back.
		We're on snowboard level.
		I think, I think I have, oh man, look, I only have three guys left.
		Oh, Lord, this is gonna be tough.
unidentified		This is, oh no!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I was focusing on how many guys I had instead of keeping my eye on the prize.
		This is gonna be, well, I can't beat the game now, right?
		We know that can't happen right now.
		All right, they're bringing me water.
		That was a sad death.
		All right, I'm gonna have to use one continue.
		And I think you guys who have been with me for a while will understand why.
		You know what I mean?
		I'm just getting my groove back here and talking to you while I'm doing this.
		It's a different thing.
		Oh, that's a spread, that's a spread.
		No, it's R.
		So yeah, we're gonna pause during Super Chat.
		But you know, we'll take a little break, because my next life is gonna be my last one in this game.
		We'll take a little break before we do the continue.
		And then we'll go from there.
		Alright, that was... I'm sorry you guys had to see that.
		Okay.
		Alright, we're gonna stop for a second.
		Stretch out the finger.
		By the way, I can jump over to Super Mario Brothers.
		We got Adventure of Link.
		We got Duck Hunt.
		I'm playing a mashup game right here.
		That's why it's taking its toll on me physically.
		All right, but yes, so we will pause every time we do the super chat thing.
		I think that's fair if you guys are donating while you're doing it.
		By the way, anything that you donate while we do one of these things go directly to the show.
		We are figuring out some pretty big expansion plans.
		We have a whole bunch of meetings coming up this week, next week.
		And there's a lot of cool things happening, so all of it will go directly to that, or maybe to fancier wires for the Nintendo, but nothing beyond that.
		All right, I think David's set up the other room, so I'm gonna start to continue.
		It's gonna give me 30 lives, snow field board, I promise you.
		Where are we at right now, Amira?
		Note it on the timeline of this thing, because I promise the good people, from here forward, I will beat Maybe I spoke a little too soon.
		I will beat Contra on this continuation, and I apologize for not beating it on my first one.
		That was wrong.
		Okay, here we go.
		Getting my groove, getting my groove.
		Okay.
		Got the machine gun, feeling good.
		Not feeling good.
		All right.
		It's something about talking to you and playing.
		How do these guys do it?
		It's that multitasking that they're always talking about, right?
unidentified		I guess.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, here we go.
unidentified		All right, all right, all right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We just gotta get a good run.
		You know what I mean?
		I just need a good run.
		I think I can do it here.
unidentified		All right, here we go.
unidentified		What a world, what a world.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, they are again!
		Give me a spread!
		Okay, so yeah, we're gonna pause there in Super Chats right down there.
		Hold on, hold on, hold on.
		Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
unidentified		All right, all right, all right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I'm starting to feel good.
		Every time I say I'm feeling good, then something horrible happens.
		But I think this is where we turn it around.
		Oh, fire.
		Give me a spread, give me a spread.
		I think there's a spread here.
		No?
		Oh, I'm sorry you guys had to see that.
		That one was rough.
		I could have sworn there was a spread there.
		Alright, I know there's gonna be some major button mashing right here.
		I think I got, like, some sort of truck.
		Oh, yeah.
		Evil truck.
		Evil truck!
		Come on thumbs!
unidentified		Come on thuuuuuuumbs!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Guys, I could use a super chat right now.
		Like, you're helping me with Super Chats because I need to pause this thing so that I can breathe.
		Alright, we got a Super Chat.
		Thank you, Super Chat.
		I got water, too.
		This could be the end.
		What if we hit 400,000 subscribers?
		It's very exciting.
		We get a Nintendo here.
		We watch a 40-year-old man have a heart attack playing Contra.
unidentified		The timer's counting down here.
unidentified		Do you think that a college education is as brainwashing as some people say, and if it is, how do you think the American college system should change?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That's a great question.
		Look, I went to State University of New York at Binghamton, SUNY Binghamton, so it's a state school in New York.
		Was a great school, I probably smoked a little too much pot at the time, but I was a political science major, and I like to think that I used some of the things that I learned to apply in my life right now, right?
		So yes, there's obviously a tremendous amount of indoctrination going on, and by the way, that's why I talk about so much what's going on with the left all the time, because that's what's being indoctrinated to young people.
		There isn't far-right garbage, or even much right garbage, or even stuff That's pro-capitalism or basic rights stuff being taught in colleges.
		Somehow it's thought to be cool if you're communist or socialist or far-left and they do all these studies showing that kids aren't for free speech anymore and safe spaces and trigger warnings and all that stuff.
		So are you going to be hit and slammed by a lot of that?
		Yes.
		But college, I think the reason college is important Is because if it's done right, without a lot of that nonsense, that's where you should learn to think critically.
		You're not in high school anymore, but you're not an adult, as far as I'm concerned, and you can learn to debate ideas.
		Hear economic theories that you eventually will agree with or not agree with, and hear other ones.
		And see different people.
		Meet, you know, most of us don't live around every type of person from all over the world.
		In colleges, you're going to meet all kinds of new people.
		That's what the higher education experience should be about.
		Now, by the way, there's plenty of great jobs that you can have without a college education.
		I'm getting a little feedback here, that's why I'm stuttering a little bit.
		Yeah, alright, we got a whole bunch of questions, so I gotta do this a little bit faster, and I'm feeling good.
		The thumb's feeling good.
		How we doing?
		Yeah.
		Here we go.
unidentified		There's a lot coming in, so the more money that people spend, the longer they stay up.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I gotcha.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Right, so super chat, that's how it works.
unidentified		The more you throw in, the higher you bump up, so I have to... So by the time you're done answering, whatever, some of them might disappear, but you're going to do the best that you can.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Okay, but I'm going to catch them either way.
		I'm going to catch them either way.
		Alright, here we go.
unidentified		Alright, hey Dave, long story short, I'm a gay conservative who just started doing political commentary videos on my YouTube channel here.
		People like you, Milo, and Ann Coulter inspired me.
		Thanks for challenging people.
		P.S., they use Vault 7, so people are...
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So Vault 7, I think, I didn't have Wi-Fi today because I was on the plane.
		Vault 7, I think, has something to do with WikiLeaks?
		Or does that have something to do with Contra?
		I'm not sure, but I appreciate your support.
		And by the way, I think there's a lot of gay conservatives out there and there's gay liberals and gay progressives and everything else.
		Your sexuality shouldn't have to define your political ideology.
		That's a pretty sad place to be.
		And yet, for a long time, gay people felt they had to be very left or at least progressive because they were fighting for gay marriage more.
		Well, we have it now, and we can now vote for Foreign policy or economics or a slew of other things just like everyone else can.
		That's the beauty of equality.
		You equal the playing field.
		Doesn't mean the results are always going to be the same, but it means that we all have the opportunity to live good lives.
		What do we got?
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		Somebody says spread is life.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Spread is life.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Whoever said that in a super chat comment is a great person.
unidentified		That's Jason Blazes.
		He said spread is life.
		That was for 50 bucks he said spread is life.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		50 bucks Jason Blazes!
		Well everyone agrees with you.
		Spread is the greatest weapon.
		I haven't used it well here.
		I think I'm about to get it right now.
		Jason, I promise you I'm going to do the best I can with spread.
		Spread is life.
		That's a good title for a book.
unidentified		Somebody says, how high are you right now, Dave?
unidentified		By the way, heart.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I'm not high.
		People sometimes say that when I do live streams, I look high.
		I don't know why.
		Something with the live streams.
		But I assure you, I'm not high.
		I've said it before.
		Look, I have a license for marijuana, horrible glaucoma, back pain.
		No, just kidding.
		But I do have a license.
		It's legal here in California.
		And I smoke maybe once every two weeks.
		I just don't have time more.
		And I smoke really just to relax.
		I get a nice indica, I watch Seinfeld, or I play some video games.
		And that's how I relax.
		Alright, should I jump back in?
unidentified		There's one more here.
		They're counting down, so it's kind of hard to keep track of.
		That's a video game.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We're playing two video games here.
		I'm playing Contra and Super Chat.
		Yeah.
unidentified		Do you think that the Libertarian Party is the closest thing we have
		to a left-right hybrid right now?
		If you could drop anything from the Libertarian Party, what would it be?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Do I?
		Oh, they heard it.
		I think the Libertarian Party should be the most centric party there is.
		The most centrist party there is.
		You can argue for something like gay marriage.
		I mean, I say this all the time.
		From a liberal perspective, where you want people to be treated equally, and that's a liberal principle, and from a libertarian perspective, because you don't want the government involved in interpersonal contracts.
		That's a beautiful thing, when liberals and libertarians can come together on something.
		So, I think the Libertarian Party is ripe for a hijacking.
		Maybe the classical liberals will take it.
		If I had to change one thing with the Libertarians, I think their biggest issue is, first off, they don't do anything down-ticket, right?
		They only try to run for president, so they only appear every four years, and then they put out, this time and the time before, a very nice guy who I've met and I've had on the show, and I would have loved to have over for dinner, but it was not a great candidate in Gary Johnson, and not really a great Libertarian.
		But I think more than anything else, when you're a libertarian, because you're about liberty and the individual, it's hard to get people to coalesce around all that, right?
		So I think because of that, they could do a better job in figuring out what do we really stand for?
		And I think through that, you could get a lot of people on the left to come over and a lot of people on the right come over.
		All right, let's see.
		Uh, okay.
		Oh, somebody threw in on Super Chat five bucks to ask my feelings about jank.
		Um, alright.
		I would say on that one, you know, just save your money.
		There's no point in me shit-talking people.
		Or just search.
		You can figure it out on Twitter if you search both our handles, the things that I've said to him.
unidentified		I've tried to act, uh... I've tried.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I've tried.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright, how we doing?
unidentified		You're ready to start playing.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		I'm moving forward, people.
		This is the marathon of all time.
		We're playing the video game Contra.
		We're playing Super Chat in YouTube.
		We're going to pause as the Super Chats come in.
		And I appreciate all your support.
		I pressed pause before she brought me back.
		All right, Amira, let's roll.
		Stretch it out.
		OK.
		Alright, I gotta get a spread.
		You're right.
		Spread is life.
		Who was that?
		That was Brian.
		Spread is life.
unidentified		Alright.
		Come on now.
		Jason was spread is life.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That was Jason.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Sorry, Jason.
unidentified		Never forget Jason.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I gotta jump over this bad boy.
		Alright.
		Okay.
unidentified		Alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What a day, what a day.
		400,000.
		By the way, we may crack 200,000, oh, that was bad.
		We may crack 200,000 Twitter followers while we're live here doing this.
		Okay, I think there's a spread right here.
		If my old video, that's a laser, that's a laser.
		We'll take a look.
		Can't get off the screen.
		Did you see that?
		What is that called?
		Somebody's going to know in the chat.
		Can you let me know?
		Colin Moriarty mentioned it, that in these old games where you couldn't run backwards, there was like some technological thing that they couldn't figure out how to get you to run backwards.
		You know, if you run off a screen, you can run backwards obviously like that, but not off the screen.
unidentified		All right, all right, all right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		How are we doing here?
		I think there's like a monkey coming, like a futuristic monkey.
		Like a blue futuristic monkey.
		Am I making that up?
		Think there's a blue monkey?
		No, no blue monkey, all right.
		Whoa, oh, this is gonna be tough without any... This is gonna be tough without any weapons.
		Oh, all right, that was nice, that was nice.
unidentified		Whoa, whoa, whoa!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, come on!
		I deserve some kind of award for that!
		Holy!
		That's it?
		Well, damn!
		Alright, how are we doing?
		How's it going on SuperChapters?
unidentified		Alright, you can press pause.
unidentified		We got a couple more here.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright, we got a couple.
		We're going to Energy Zone.
		Wait, make sure I pause!
		Make sure I pause!
		I don't think I paused!
		Send me back!
		Send me back!
		Okay.
unidentified		Can you just give a shout out really quick?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		This has got to be the stupidest thing we've ever done.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I don't know that I've had more fun on video ever.
unidentified		Can you give a shout-out to Reasonable Ape?
unidentified		He doesn't have a question, he's just a big fan from Iran.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Reasonable Ape from Iran!
		Shout-out to you, my man.
		I would love to visit Iran one day.
		I hope that they'd let me in, but I would hope to.
		And actually, I get a decent amount of emails from people from Iran, and also from people from Saudi Arabia.
		I think something like our eighth most watched country might be Saudi Arabia, which is pretty amazing.
unidentified		This question, I work at a high school.
unidentified		I've overheard a few kids talking about Ron and Rand Paul and libertarianism kids talking about PragerU, so there is hope.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That's interesting, working at a high school and hearing about Ron and Rand Paul, and there's obviously a libertarianism feeling there, and PragerU, that's a little more on the conservative side.
		But that's what it should be all about, is getting ideas out there.
		That's it.
		People hear ideas, and then move on from there.
		You know what I mean?
unidentified		Could we please have on Jordan Peterson, Alfonso, Rachel, Gavin McGinnis, and the indefatigable David Wood.
unidentified		PS Plus One spread his life.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, okay, so we've had Jordan Peterson on.
		It was when we were in between studios, so we did it on a kind of crappy Google Hangout connection.
		We didn't even have internet here.
		Uh, but we will have him back live in studio.
		Actually, I think he's sitting down with Sam Harris for round two tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken.
		And, uh, David, I missed a couple of those other names, but they sounded like people that we've talked about.
		Uh, if you want to fire him back out at me.
unidentified		Uh, that was Gavin McGinnis, Jordan Peterson, David Wood, Alfonso Rachel.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, David Wood's been on our list for sure.
		Gavin McGinnis wanted to come on two weeks ago, but I wasn't in town.
		So yeah, these are all within the people.
		And by the way, you guys have helped us book this show, because you alert me of people that I should know about, and that's kind of a beautiful thing.
unidentified		Vault7Details, WikiLeaks released part one of a series of leaks today detailing various CIA tools, documentation, and alleging that they failed to contain various cyber weapons.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Right, so I heard just a tiny bit about this that I guess even if you were using Signal or WhatsApp or stuff like that, that apparently there were ways that could be hacked in if they could hack into your phone first, maybe before you downloaded it.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I can't confirm that I'm totally saying this correct, but I'll obviously do some reading on this tonight and I'm sure this story's not going anywhere, so I'll talk about it in the future.
unidentified		Awesome, he said, thanks for the great free content.
		I live in North Carolina and I want to move to California.
		How do I get a programmer job there?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		How do you get a programmer job in California?
		I'm not sure I'm the best guy that can tell you on that.
		I mean, there's probably more for you to do in San Francisco than there is here in LA.
		But, you know what?
		You mentioned getting free content.
		I'm thrilled that we can give this to you guys for free, by the way.
		You know, we do the Patreon thing, and that's amazing, because there's about 3,000 people that support this show, our ability to do this, for the rest of you.
		It's great that people can do it.
		Sometimes people do it for a few months and drop out.
		People have been with us from the beginning.
		It's fantastic whatever you guys can do it because it's not that you're just supporting it for yourself, you're supporting it for literally hundreds of thousands, probably millions of other people.
		And then we do things like Super Chat and a whole bunch of other stuff and we figure out some other ways to fund and expand and it's very cool and we don't put any of this behind a paywall.
		How am I doing?
unidentified		Did Bush do 9-11?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Bush did not do 9-11.
		I know that this is YouTube, and if I really wanted to get clicks, I would say that Bush did 9-11, but Bush did not do 9-11.
		Nothing has come across my desk yet that has made me believe that Bush did 9-11.
unidentified		Are you gonna have Maxime Bernier on the show?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you know, that name has come up a couple times lately on Twitter.
		Can we do a little research on that?
		Let's do a little research on that.
unidentified		Yeah, yeah, we'll look at it.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		For sure.
unidentified		What can we do to lessen the polarization that only seems to be getting worse?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, look, this is everything that I'm doing.
		This is everything that I'm doing.
		This is everything that I believe to my bones.
		Most of us don't hate each other.
		Most of us don't want to impose our will on everyone else.
		Most of us don't want to force everyone to live like we want to live or think like we want to think.
		We can get there, and I think we can get there by showing people that we're listening to people, that we're willing to have our ideas challenged, that we'll sit across from people that we don't agree with on certain things.
		And all that stuff.
		And I know it's tough, but I think actually the most important thing is something that all of you can do right now, which is don't be afraid to say what you think.
		I get so many emails every day from people saying they're afraid to say what they think, they're afraid to post things on Facebook and tweet this, and they have to do all this stuff anonymously, and their brothers aren't talking to them and all this other shit.
		And it's like, if you're self-censoring now, How will the world be in 2020 if you're doing it in 2017?
		And the trends are all leading to silence us even more.
		If you're concerned about the way Trump is treating the media, if you're concerned about trigger warnings and safe space, all that stuff, well, guess what?
		All the trends are going against free speech.
		All the trends are going against finding common ground.
		All the trends are going against building bridges.
		So it's our job to fight that, and I'm gonna keep doing it.
unidentified		What do you miss about the 90s?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		When I'm not killing people in contract.
unidentified		What do you miss about the 90s?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What do I miss about the 90s?
		90s NBA, the 1990s NBA, like prime years of Michael Jordan and the 92 NBA Finals versus my favorite player who I've got a little character of right here, Clyde Drexler, who won a championship with the 95 Houston Rockets.
		By the way, guys, I mentioned a second ago, but the reason I'm stumbling a little bit is I'm getting a little bit of a delay here, so I'm hearing myself twice.
		So if you think I'm, my cadence sounds a little weird, that's why.
		Yeah, the 90s, I miss basketball.
		I miss playing Sega Genesis.
		Maybe we can make that happen.
		And, you know, I was younger in the 90s.
		I was quicker.
		My hand didn't cramp up when I was playing video games.
		That was pretty good.
		All right, how are we doing?
unidentified		Good, you can take your IFB out of your ear.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, well, and I can just hear, yeah.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright.
unidentified		You won't hear the video games, but whatever.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no, I need to hear the game.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I need to hear the game.
unidentified		Well, then put it back in when you're playing.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Ah, gotcha.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You guys, I got an incredible team.
unidentified		There's a lot of questions coming in.
unidentified		I'm going to lose them if we don't get to some of these.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright, so here we go.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		A couple more questions.
unidentified		Will you ever interview Philip DeFranco or Joe Rogan on your show?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yes, we are working on Phil DeFranco.
		I just DM'd him this morning.
		We're just trying to settle a day, so feel free to tweet at him.
		Let's make this thing happen.
		I know he just sat down with Rogan, and Rogan has agreed to do it too.
		The guy is just insanely busy, so I'm just going to keep the pressure on him.
		They will both happen for sure.
unidentified		These are going to be rapid fire, okay?
		Because we don't want to lose these.
		Is there any hope for an interview with Thomas Sowell?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		There is a little hope for Thomas Sowell.
		Larry Elder's friends with him, he's putting in a good word for us.
		You know, he's retired, he's 86, he's sort of moving out of that phase of life, but I do think there's hope, so please hang tight, and I would love, love, love to do it.
unidentified		Is there, oh no, can you get Jacque Fresco before he dies?
unidentified		He's 100 years old.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Can I get Jacque Fresco before he dies?
		Jacque?
		Jacque Fresco?
		I'm actually not sure who that is, so we will try, but I don't, well, we'll at least look into it, but I'm not sure who it is.
unidentified		Are you a fan of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's work, the South Park guys, and is there any chance of getting them on the show?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so we're working on getting them on the show.
		I've made a little headway with the Comedy Central people.
		The thing is that when they're in season, they turn them so quickly that they can't do any press, and then they're burned off-season, and I fully get that.
		I would love to have them on.
		Interestingly, I didn't get into South Park until the last couple of years.
		I'm going to take this off for a sec.
		I didn't get into South Park until the last couple of years.
		Because those first few years the Simpsons was still so strong that I thought it was like an affront to the Simpsons to like South Park.
		I know that doesn't really make any sense.
		Then I had a couple years where I thought Family Guy was the best.
		But yes, I would love to have them on and they're so on it when it comes to the free speech stuff and mocking the powers that be and all these outraged virtue signaling morons and the rest of it.
		What do we got?
		Man, you guys are hooking it up on the Super Chat.
		Did not know about the Super Chat.
		Playing concerts?
unidentified		Is it strange that I seem to have become completely conservative and cringe at my liberal past in just a few months?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That's a good question.
		I mean, look, I sense that a huge amount of former progressives are moving to the center.
		I think that is a good thing, obviously.
		You guys know what I think about things.
		So that you've become conservative, look, what do I say all the time now?
		Defending my liberal principles, my liberal principles of the individual, the right to live life the way you want to, and the right to, okay, okay.
		That all of these things, defending my liberal principles, is becoming a conservative position.
		So does that mean that I'm a conservative in 2017?
		Maybe by 2017 standards at some level, but again, these labels mean less and less as days go by.
		Know what you think, have clear line of thinking, and then you can win people in an argument.
unidentified		Can you comment on the globalist conspiracy to trick the world into thinking that Skyrim is a better game than Morrowind?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I can't comment on that because I don't know enough about it, but I will look into it, but it does sound like, you know, the globalists are coming.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That sounds like a globalist conspiracy, yes.
unidentified		This one here, there's a few questions in one, so just select one out of it and answer.
		How did you meet Colin?
		Can you please convince him to do politics regularly or possibly run for something?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I think Colin is fantastic.
		We met on Twitter.
		We had this connection because of Long Island and video games.
		I've already been messaging him.
		I think he could make huge, huge noise in the political space, and if there's anything that I can do to facilitate that, I'm gonna, and I've already put a few things in motion on that front.
unidentified		Live audiences interrupt conversations and ruin good talks with their laughing and clapping and booing.
unidentified		Don't fall into that trap.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That's funny.
		I mean, you know, there's something incredible about the energy of a live audience, and believe me, we would figure out a way.
		I did stand up for 12 years in New York.
		I did a little bit about here.
		I know how to play with the crowd the right way, and we would figure out a way to do it so that it wouldn't affect the show.
		But it might not be the exact same thing.
		I love this.
		I'm never stopping doing this.
		I love doing the intimate interview show, but there might be ways to expand and involve more of a live studio audience.
		But I hear you, and that's why sometimes it's nice being in a small intimate room, sometimes big audience.
		All right, here we go.
unidentified		Will we ever get a Shapiro-Milo debate?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		A Shapiro-Milo debate?
		I think it's just off the table right now.
		I think they've soured on each other to the point, and now with this other stuff going on with Milo, I think he's been kind of off the grid, so I don't sense it.
		I will always be happy to moderate it if we can get them.
unidentified		Any word on getting Elon Musk on?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We're working on Elon Musk.
		Haven't made any headway.
		But look, all of these people, as the show gets bigger, as the numbers grow and all of this stuff, which we're tracking in a really great way, it makes it easier to get all these people.
		So yeah, we're working on it.
unidentified		First thing you do upon waking up and last thing you do before sleeping.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		First thing I do when I wake up, I always try to have a glass of water when I wake up.
		I've been trying not to have my phone in my bedroom so that it's not the last thing I do before I go to sleep, and it's not the first thing I do when I wake up.
		I fail at that sometimes, but I've actually gotten a little better about it, and you guys know my feelings about doing digital detox and getting off the grid a little bit.
		But I have a glass of water, I walk the dog, and I feed the fish.
		That's my first thing in the morning.
unidentified		All right, this is gonna be the last one.
unidentified		Oh, wait, I think there's a couple more, and then you can... A couple more, then we're going back to Contra, people.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I could be here all night.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We could never get through Contra.
unidentified		It's possible.
		Big fan, Ruben.
		You are a big part of my political awakening since Trump got elected.
		Try these games for a stream.
		Undertale, Bastion, Necrodancer, FTL, Witcher 3.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I don't know any of those games.
		I'm not sure what system they're on, but we will write some of that down.
		David, write some of that down.
		We'll look into it.
		And by the way, Colin Moriarty is getting me a PS4, so I will have a PS4 probably in two or three weeks.
unidentified		All right, last question, and then we're gonna get back to some games here.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Last one for Super Chat, then we're jumping back in.
unidentified		Hey Dave, please get some South African guests on.
		Really interesting parallels to U.S.
		Check out Ronaldo Gauss.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I love that you asked that.
		You know, I just did Gareth Clift's radio show.
		I taped it yesterday.
		I'm not sure if it went up, his podcast and radio show.
		I know he's big out there.
		I actually have family in South Africa.
		A cousin who I just met here in LA a couple weeks ago.
		And I have a bunch of family out there.
		So I would love to get to South Africa.
		I promise you that I will at some point.
		And I'll look into that for sure.
		Alright, let's get back to Contra.
		My hair is going crazy.
unidentified		Jason saying, love you David, where are the video games?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Where are the video games?
		People want to get back to the video games.
		We're back in action.
		This is the Energy Zone.
		I think I can impress you guys on this one.
		I do feel that I can.
		I believe... Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
		I believe this is the second to last board.
		On Contra, can someone confirm that?
		I believe I'm right.
		I could be off by one, maybe.
unidentified		Ah!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Saw that coming.
		I saw that coming.
		That was purely your, that was your fault, guys.
		That was just because I was talking to you.
		Here, I'm gonna, this guy's not even looking at me.
		I'm gonna take care of him.
		All right, we need a spread.
		This is a tough one here, because we got some fire coming down.
		Watch this.
		So you see, you got some fire.
		How do I get to shoot that?
		Oh, there we go.
		All right, now I gotta time this.
unidentified		Bad, bad, bad.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, laser.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, all right, all right, here we go.
unidentified		Dave, your Patreon live stream starts in 30 minutes.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		My Patreon live stream starts in 30, all right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Can't be talking to me while I'm doing this.
unidentified		All right, so, that should not have happened.
unidentified		All right, hold on here.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Hold on, I'll talk about that in a sec.
unidentified		Alright, this is... this is really sad.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Hold on, I gotta focus for a sec, I gotta focus.
		All right, I'm rushing for you guys.
		All right, so we're doing a Patreon.
unidentified		Okay.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We're doing a Patreon livestream talking in slow motion.
unidentified		Oh, alright, alright, alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I need a spread.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Where is the spread?
unidentified		What is B?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Where is the spread?
		What is B?
		B?
unidentified		Everyone's asking if you're aware that Sargon's Twitter is hacked.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Sargon's Twitter is hacked?
		I'm not aware of that.
		But, you know, Sargon got banned from Twitter for a little bit, and then I saw that Steven Knight, Godless Spellchecker, who is one of the most decent, honest people trying to have hard conversations, that he got suspended from Twitter temporarily, and it's like, what is going on over there on the Twitter?
		Oh, man.
unidentified		That was bad.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That should not have happened.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That's got to be an error in the game.
unidentified		Alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
unidentified		Alright.
unidentified		Alright, alright, alright, alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I need a weapon.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Where do you gotta get a weapon around here?
unidentified		Didn't Contra used to have more... Alright, alright.
unidentified		Alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		400,000 YouTube subscribers.
		Oh, is here the Blue Monkey?
		I think the Blue Monkey might be here.
		Remember I said there was a Blue Monkey?
		Ah, there we go.
		Blue Monkey.
		And he's gonna throw me, ah, some discs.
		Blue Monkey, Blue Monkey, Blue Monkey.
		Then he's gonna turn purple if I'm not mistaken.
unidentified		All right, I can't shoot those Little monkey
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry, guys.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I feel like I'm letting you down.
unidentified		No!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Purple monkey, purple monkey, orange monkey.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Life was simpler.
unidentified		Whenever you're ready, there are more questions.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, super chat.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		Okay, I think you really might like Bastion.
		Great soundtrack and really easy to get into.
		I hope I'm pronouncing that right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What's it called?
unidentified		Bastion?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Okay, wait, we gotta pause this.
		Okay.
		All right, here we go.
unidentified		Uh, did you get that?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I got it, I got it.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright, where are we?
unidentified		Okay, your thoughts on Seth MacFarlane and his politics.
		Can we get him on the show?
		Please play The Last of Us on PS4.
		Colin will recommend it.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so I will try to play The Last of Us when we get the PS4.
		As for Seth, look, I love Family Guy.
		I think Seth is a funny guy.
		He goes on Realtime a lot.
		I like him personally.
		I like Ted.
		I didn't see Ted 2.
		I think he's veered a little bit to the left for my tastes, become sort of humorless online.
		I totally like him.
		I totally respect him.
		I probably shouldn't have even said that.
		It's totally fine if you don't see eye to eye with people on everything.
		There's a lot of people right now, by the way, especially comics that I used to respect a lot, that have become humorless and joyless and unfunny and preachy bitches.
		I'm not talking about Seth in this instance.
		On their Twitters, mostly.
		But I really, really do like Seth, and I would love to have him on.
		I've asked him many times, and I'll keep trying, and I hope that it will happen.
unidentified		Let's see.
unidentified		Prominent memory from all the years on the Rubin Report.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Prominent memory from all the years on the Rubin Report.
		You know, people always ask me what my favorite episode was, and I think that the first episode where we kicked this thing off, the first time I had Sam Harris on, which was our first show at Aura TV, to me that was the seminal moment of the whole thing, because I was doing a totally different show before that, when I was with TYT, and I was doing the Sam thing.
		I really thought doing an interview show was a one-off for me, but I loved it so much, and I felt that it was real, and it was important, and I thought that Here was something that I felt was tangible, and it had real worth, and it made me want to do it more and more, and I think it fit the way people consume media, and it makes sense for the way you guys can watch it on YouTube, or if you download the podcast and all that stuff.
		So I think that that moment, there was a moment about halfway through where I was like, whoa, this is actually really good in a new way, and I'm still very proud of that interview.
		But I've had a ton of interviews that I've absolutely, absolutely loved.
unidentified		Okay, we only have time for only a handful more questions.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Handful more, because we gotta get to Patreon and I gotta beat this game!
unidentified		I'm a gay conservative and I'm worried about coming out of the closet, not because I'm worried about people accepting, but more so I'm worried that I will be called a traitor to my people because of my views.
unidentified		Do you have any advice?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, this is the through line to so much of what I talk about, and I mentioned something earlier.
		If you know what your views are, and if you're not a bigot, and you're not a racist, and all of these nonsensical words that are holding people hostage, that's what they're doing.
		They're holding people hostage against their own consciences.
		And I suspect that you're probably not a bad person.
		You happen to be a gay conservative.
		What does that mean?
		You happen to be gay, so you like someone of the same sex, and you're a conservative, meaning you either have some more traditional values, or you feel this way about economics, or foreign policy, or whatever it is.
		Whether I agree with you or not on some of those things is completely irrelevant.
		We are allowed to disagree.
		The reverse of that is being in some utopian, psychotic place where conformity is held above everything else.
		Be who you are.
		That's all you can be.
unidentified		Last question, then you get back to games.
unidentified		Any chance of an eloquent, Keynesian-leading economist such as Joseph Stiglitz coming on the show?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Ah, you know what?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Joseph Stiglitz is on the list, and I don't know if there was ever an actual reach-out, but we will make that happen.
unidentified		Alright, this is the last one.
		Is the Earth flat?
		Hashtag Flat Earth.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Well, Tom Friedman wrote a book that said the Earth is not flat, I think.
		So, I guess it's not flat.
		All right, back to Contra, because we got the Patreon feed.
		So by the way, if you wanna keep this going after, you can join us on Patreon.
		It's patreon.com slash ReubenReport.
		We do our monthly live thing, which is exclusive just to them, where we've built like a really cool community that I'm very excited about.
		Okay, Contra, putting the earpiece back in, gotta hear it.
unidentified		How much longer do you wanna go?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We'll go till a minute before we got to, I guess.
unidentified		Yeah?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I probably should pee, but.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		How about, can we get a bucket over here?
unidentified		10 more minutes, okay?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, 10 more minutes, but I gotta beat Contra.
		Here we go, here we go.
		So just keep giving me questions while I'm playing.
		All right, this is the Energy Zone, so this is the second-to-last board, I think.
		I was wrong before.
		Okay.
unidentified		All right, all right, all right, all right.
unidentified		All right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I'm gonna rush through this for you guys.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I will beat Contra today on this.
unidentified		I gotta get rid of this guy, this guy, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Um, alright, I'm beating- oh!
		I'm beating Contra.
		I'm telling you people right now, I'm beating you people.
		You heard me.
		I also have Emma in my lap right now, so I'm playing this thing, I'm talking to you guys, I got a dog licking me.
		I am wearing pants, by the way, let's not get weird here.
		Alright, here we go.
		Woah, alright.
unidentified		Someone's asking, what is a board?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What is a board?
		Well, a level.
		A level.
		You know what I mean?
		Like, I'm on whatever this level was called, the previous one.
unidentified		Why do you call it a board?
		Oh, I guess I call... I always thought that was because of the game.
		Every time I heard you say it, I thought it was... No, I don't know.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Some people say level, some people say board.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Man, did I just age myself right there?
unidentified		In my day, we called them boards.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You kids call them levels.
		I got another B, give me a, give me a, where is the spread?
		The spread is life, that was good Jason.
unidentified		Where are the spreads?
unidentified		Alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		This guy.
		This freaking guy.
		I think the spread's gonna be up there, are you kidding me?
		That's a machine gun, I would like that.
		Can we get it though?
		No, no, no, that's the spread!
		Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
		That's not right.
		You see what they did?
		They just dropped me in the pit of doom.
		I'm gonna call up somebody at Konami.
		Is it 1-800-KONAMI?
		Let's get them on the line.
unidentified		Alright, alright, here we go.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I sense something's about to pop up there.
		You can see that coming, right?
		400,000 subscribers, people!
		40 years old, 400,000 subscribers, and it's taking me about 40 guys to beat Contra.
		Here we go.
		I gotta be quiet here.
		Gotta be quiet.
		Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
		All right.
unidentified		All right.
		No.
		No, no.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We only have like 10 minutes left, because I gotta get to that other stream.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I gotta beat this game.
unidentified		Where are the spreads?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Someone's gotta Google this.
		Where the hell are the spreads?
		I don't remember this.
		Uh-oh.
		It seems like I gotta shoot these things down there.
		Wait, wait, wait, wait.
		Alright, hold on.
		Oh, no, I have three guys left!
		I'm sorry, guys.
		I can't believe this.
unidentified		I really, genuinely... I'm on the last board.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I have four guys.
		I have my current guy, and you can see three guys up there.
		I gotta beat this.
		This is it.
		Aliens lair.
		Emma, you gotta get out of the way.
		I got the dog in my lap.
		Three guys, no weapons.
		This is it.
		My whole life has come down to this.
		That was the spread!
		You gotta be kidding me!
		Oh, and these, the deadly shrimp.
		The shrimps of death.
		This is not going to be easy.
unidentified		No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Shrimps to death.
		All right, you're gonna lose some commentary here guys.
		I gotta beat this.
		I cannot not beat this.
unidentified		So are you saying you don't want questions while you're here?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		No, I guess you can give me questions, but we got a lot going on here, and I'm trying to save the world, and I got YouTube Super Chats, and I got a dog licking me, and my finger's gonna break!
unidentified		You see?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You see?
unidentified		Three names for you.
		Colin Noir, Steven Crowder, Dinesh D'Souza.
		And finally, congratulations once again on 400,000 subs.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I've had Crowder.
		I've had D'Souza.
		Colin Noir.
		I think I'm following him on Twitter.
		I think we could probably make that one happen.
unidentified		OK.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Three guys left.
unidentified		Thoughts on this statement?
		I can't be racist because I have no power.
		Doesn't that seem like an excuse to be racist?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yes, that's a completely idiotic statement.
		Wait, this is tough.
		This is tough.
		I remember this.
		Wait, hold on.
		Hold on.
		Hold I can't believe this.
		I can't believe this.
		No, they're gonna drop me.
		They're gonna drop me.
		This is my last guy.
		I just want to say, guys, everything being equal, considering the challenges that I've had here as I've been doing this.
		Oh, I got an extra life.
		Well, that went well.
		I can't believe it.
		Where have the spreads been?
		This is it!
		Last life!
unidentified		No, no, no, no!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Come on!
		One more life!
		One more life!
		Do I have time to continue?
		I gotta beat the game.
unidentified		Alright, keep going, but I gotta cut you before the Patreon stream starts.
		I got another question for you.
		Given the nature of the recent WikiLeaks Vault 7 detailing CIA hacking, do you worry about the future of freedom of speech when political parties hold this type of power?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Machine gun!
		Yes.
		As I said, I need to do a little research on this thing, because I was in a plane all day, so I didn't read that much on it yet.
		But yes, I think we have a major problem with free speech coming from two fronts.
		There's the front of government and people spying on us and all that, and Trump's nature of his relationship with the media, and the media that's just generally terrible, that people don't trust anymore.
		So it's a multi-pronged thing, and the fact that you guys know the one I'm most concerned about Is that we're censoring ourselves.
		I fear that much more than the other ones.
		So there's a big thing here, and on top of the fact that I'm dealing with pretty intense shrimp, and this guy, and it's a lot.
		It's a lot.
		I'm beating Contra for you people.
unidentified		Will you have Jason Stapleton on your show?
unidentified		I'm a big fan of both of you guys.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we have him booked.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		He's flying in.
unidentified		We're taping him on Monday.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What's that?
unidentified		On Monday we're taping him.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, on Monday.
		We're taping him on Monday.
		How's that for service?
		Talk about super chat.
		You asked for a guest.
		Yes, he's our next guest this coming Monday.
		Alright, alright.
		Where's the spread?
unidentified		Spread!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright, now you motherfuckers.
		You see, now I'm not playing around anymore.
		Yeah, spread.
		Yeah, there we go.
unidentified		There.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		You see what happens?
		Oh, you guys aren't so fancy anymore.
		Yeah.
		Yeah.
		Okay.
		Okay.
		Now you'll watch me casually beat Contra.
unidentified		Yeah.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		Please.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Please.
		Woah!
		No, no, no!
		I got overconfident!
		Overconfident, guys.
		My bad, my bad.
		My bad.
		Alright, I sense... Wait, I think this might be the end.
		This might be the end.
		I don't remember what happens here.
		I think this is it!
unidentified		Alright.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Come on.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no!
unidentified		Oh, all right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I gotta just knock out some of these guys first, I think, right?
unidentified		Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
unidentified		Oh, all right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		This is the end, people.
		The thumb hurts.
		The forefinger might be detached.
		Got a situation going on in my right eye.
		All right.
		Goodbye, brain of doom.
		Yeah, now we're feeling it.
		I can't explain how much pain I'm in.
		I'm not kidding.
		We're gonna beat this thing and then I gotta go live on Patreon.
		Look at that heart beating.
unidentified		Did you win?
unidentified		Is it over?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I just saved the universe.
unidentified		Oh my god.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I just saved the universe.
		Look at this.
		The island there is exploding.
		I escaped on my helicopter.
		I think they're gonna give me a little message here.
		Congratulations, you've destroyed the vile red falcon and saved the universe.
		Consider yourself a hero.
		400,000 subscribers.
		Stopped the regressive onslaught.
		Saved humanity.
unidentified		And luckily for you, there's no more super chat questions.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		My hand is killing me.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Killing me.
unidentified		Can you just give like an ultra shout out to Jason Blazes who really just like... Jason, alright, major shout out to you.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Spread his life.
		You are so right.
		You hooked it up on the Super Chat.
		Alright, do I have two minutes left?
unidentified		Yeah, two minutes and then we're live on Patreon.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright, so we're live on Patreon.com slash RubinReport if you want to jump in there.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That's our monthly thing that allows us to support the show.
unidentified		Go ahead.
unidentified		I don't think you're playing video games in that one.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I'm not playing video games there.
		I'm just going to talk to you guys.
		And it's much more intimate there because it's the people that fully support the show and people have gotten to know each other.
		It's actually really cool.
		All right, so if there's anything left on Super Chat, two minutes, here we go, Super Chat.
		Man, this thing is really cool.
		Thank you to the guys who hooked us up over at HD Retrovision, and it's the AVS Retro USB that we're playing this thing on, and this isn't even available.
		They gave us their personal one.
		It's really hard to get this thing.
		Anything else you want to finish up on, or I'm going to have a sip of water?
unidentified		Yeah, just people saying great work.
		Dave, love your show.
		Do you have any plans to do news articles like Steven Crowder's site?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So we're thinking about that kind of stuff, that the next step here is not just doing the interviews, but like a weekly news segment, maybe some more written stuff.
		I don't know, we're trying to figure out all that stuff.
		It really has to do with ways we can expand, get some financial things to work out, figure out some partnerships, and things of that nature.
		But I'm super psyched, and we got this last $100,000 so quick.
		I mean, really, over $40,000 in the last month.
		When the total that we're looking at is 400,000, so 10% in the last month.
		We've been doing this for years.
		We're hitting on something awesome, and I'm very excited about it.
		And I've had a whole bunch of other opportunities for television stuff and being invited to other networks, but we're in a beautiful place, thanks to you guys, where I don't have to make any decisions that I don't think are right for us or for the team or for Emma over there who's watching.
		And all right, let's go over.
unidentified		Jason Blaze is very excited that we're having Jason Staple tonight.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Jason Blaise is excited about Jason Stapleton.
		I appreciate it, guys.
		Really, the way that we've gotten so intimate with this whole thing and that I interact with so many of you, it really is awesome and it's energizing and it's really cool.
		All right, we're good to go.
		I beat Contra for you.
		Thank you.
		Next time I'll do something better.
		We'll do some two-player things also with some guests and stuff like that.
		That'll be fun.
		But yes, this is not becoming a video game channel.
		This was a silly little thing that we did here.
		All right, awesome, thank you guys, and keep watching, and we're heading over, if you wanna join us, patreon.com slash RubinReport, and you'll get access to the feed if you jump in at that level right then and there.
		All right, that's it for promotion.
		My hair is going crazy, I'm sweating, my thumb hurts, I'm hungry, I have to pee.
