| One of the things I'm most amazed by at the moment is how the ideas and issues that we're talking about | ||
| every week here on the Rubin Report are relevant not just in America, but all over the world. | ||
| The amount of email I'm getting from you guys across the globe, whether it's Sweden, Australia, Brazil, Hungary or Japan, is actually staggering. | ||
| It really seems to me that there has been a reawakening as to what being a free human being is all about. | ||
| You are in charge of your own life, and if you start with this simple premise, you can accomplish anything. | ||
| While the discourse on social media may seem more toxic than ever, I see a growing, dynamic group of people coming together through ideas and conversation, regardless of where they were born or the color of their skin. | ||
| We're partnering with Learn Liberty again this week, and our guest is Rajshree Agarwal. | ||
| She was born in India to a traditional family, only to move to America, where she now teaches about capitalism at the University of Maryland, where she is the Chair and Professor of Entrepreneurship. | ||
| She believes that capitalism provides maximum freedom and happiness to all people, regardless of race, religion or anything else. | ||
| The ideas of freedom that once sparked in her as a young child are the same ideas that she's now helping further by teaching minds of young people today. | ||
| That is what freedom is all about. | ||
| If you want to join me in spreading these ideas of freedom and individuality in person, I'll be joining Jordan Peterson on his 12 Rules for Life tour for as many dates as I can possibly fit in. | ||
| We kicked off the tour a couple weeks ago at the Beacon in New York City, where the energy in the room was absolutely bananas. | ||
| I'll be traveling with Jordan to the UK to speak in London at the Apollo Hammersmith Theatre on May 13th, and then on May 14th I have the incredible honor of speaking at the Oxford Union. | ||
| Hopefully I'll get to meet as many of you guys as possible, and I also promise to down as many pints as possible. | ||
| I'm also working on an Australian tour and hope to have some more info on that for you guys soon. | ||
| You know, I've mentioned on the show lately that the endless hysteria of the left and the politically correct craziness that we're caught up in was eventually going to drag me back into stand-up comedy, and this finally came to fruition this past Sunday at the Irvine Improv. | ||
| The show was billed as an evening of stand-up and sit-down, as I did about an hour of stand-up, and then Bob Saget joined me on stage for about 45 minutes of a sit-down. | ||
| It was awesome meeting so many of you guys out there, and the show was a huge success. | ||
| The manager of the improv even told me that it was the first sold-out standing ovation she's seen at the club in her 18 years. | ||
| We're going to announce travel dates for upcoming stand-up gigs pretty soon, and I hope that you guys will join me for at least a two-drink minimum and plenty of laughs. | ||
| And finally, after years in the making, we taped our interview with Dr. Thomas Sowell yesterday on location at Stanford University in San Francisco. | ||
| We flew our whole team up there and rented a studio to make it happen. | ||
| It was truly a personal and career highlight for me, and I can't wait to share our sit-down with you next week. | ||
| Big thanks to our supporters on Patreon who make interviews like this possible. | ||
| So all these announcements aside, whether you're in the US, India, Oxford, San Francisco, or anywhere else, we're all in this fight together. |
