Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks about Ben Affleck having a surprisingly reasonable reaction to CNBC’s David Faber asking him how AI will affect the Hollywood film industry and filmmaking in the future; how Comcast’s sale of MSNBC is throwing hosts like Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, and Joe Scarborough into a panic; legendary journalist Eugene Robinson explaining how mainstream media and newsrooms went from being filled with working-class reporters to Ivy League woke automatons; Javier Milei telling Lex Fridman how far the media will go to take out its enemies; a resurfaced video of Donald Trump giving Barron Trump some timeless advice; and Scott Jennings explaining to CNN’s Abby Phillip how Democrats' plan to focus on toxic masculinity and demonizing men blew up in their face. Dave also does a special “ask me anything” question-and-answer session on a wide-ranging host of topics, answering questions from the Rubin Report Locals community.
