Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Dr. Drew, Viva Frei, and Zubin Damania (ZDoggMD) about the YouTube censorship they have experienced just by having honest medical and legal conversations on their channels. Big Tech platforms like YouTube have made it possible for legal and medical experts to have long nuanced conversations about complex topics like lockdown policies, the COVID vaccine and more. They rely on their audience's critical thinking abilities to be able to make sense of the information. Unfortunately, the algorithms can't detect nuance. Dr. Drew, Viva Frei, and Zubin Damania discuss their own frustrations with social media platforms and why they have created Locals communities to protect their message and communities.

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks about MSNBC's disregard of facts to smear Ron DeSantis' COVID vaccine rollout, J.K. Rowling's and Winston Churchill's names being removed from a school, the official ending of Aunt Jemima, and a Ronald Reagan appearance on Johnny Carson that has some great foreign policy advice. First Dave discusses comments by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski about what a failure Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been at getting the COVID-19 vaccine to the elderly. Facts disagree. A school in England will no longer use J.K. Rowling and Winston Churchill as house names due to Churchill's purported racism and Rowling's alleged transphobic remarks.

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Peter Boghossian, Eric Metaxas, and Rabbi David Wolpe about the place of spirituality, mindfulness, religion, and atheism during a major crisis like the one we are all living through. Is understanding spirituality or a belief in God necessary to get through these dark times? Or can one find meaning and a sense of purpose without theology? Has our society's loss of faith made it harder to find our own individual meaning of life? Can intentional living or building a more spiritual path make these challenging times an easier road to travel? Dave and his guests, representing Judaism, Christianity, and atheism, try to tackle these big questions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks about the ACLU's attempt to debunk myths about transgender athletes with a little science denial, the New York Times' Orwellian solution to our disinformation problem, why the COVID vaccine won't end social distancing, and the CDC's absurd COVID rules for your Super Bowl party.

The NY Times really wants to help Americans develop media literacy so they can be better equipped to handle misinformation.
