This man is 64 years old? What the fuck thought he was like 42, aged well as fuck
black don't crack
well actually....
jeppep95 it might be because wrinkles are harder to see in darker skin
Black people and East Asian people tend to age really well.
Melanin does add to the longevity of skin. But it also opens them up to other medical problems.
Larry is one of the few guests that picks up exactly the question and even improves it before answering it. The flow of the conversation is just great.
Well said!
Great point by Larry. Obama missed a golden opportunity to be a real leader, a role model for young blacks, instead of helping to keep them as helpless victims.
@scott sanger - *OBAMA, 2008:* 200,000 people came out to see Obama in Berlin _before_ he was even elected president - one of the largest crowds of ANY candidate.
*TRUMP, 2016:* The parliament (government) of the U.K. (Britain) actually held formal debate on whether to vote to _BAN DONALD TRUMP FROM EVER ENTERING THEIR COUNTRY_ .
*TRUMP, 2017:* The very first day of his presidency there was the LARGEST SINGLE-DAY PROTEST IN U.S. HISTORY - A *WORLDWIDE PROTEST AGAINST DONALD TRUMP* - The Women's March.
Draw your own conclusions as to who was more of a divisive figure.
@@gatsbylight4766 considering the MSM painted him out to be the next Hitler and that Obama was supposed to be ghandi
Obama _"missed a golden opportunity to be a real leader"_ , you say? Well, DESPITE the complete stonewall put up by Mitch McConnell and the republican congress - and their publicly stated commitment to _"make Obama a one-term president"_ , here are just a FEW of the *_"leader"_* things that Obama got done for people of color:
[I'm sure you'll not likely read it, because people like you would rather say what you wanna say, instead of saying what you actually see.]
* In February 2014, the president introduced My Brother’s Keeper, to specifically focus on improving the lives of young African American males. The initiative is encouraging nonprofits to raise $200 million in five years for programs focused on young men of color. Though My Brother’s Keeper is not a federally-funded government program, no such effort has existed before under any American president.
* *Championing Criminal Justice Reform and Fair Policing* - President Obama signed the Fair Sentencing Act in 2010. This narrowed the penalty between crack and powder cocaine from 1:10 to 1:18. In 2014, President Obama established a task force on policing and in 2015, he rolled back the use of certain military equipment by local police-a Black Lives Matter related demand. During the Obama presidency, the Department of Justice has investigated several police departments, including Ferguson, Cleveland, and Philadelphia, under former Attorney General Eric Holder and current Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
* The unemployment rate for African Americans peaked at 16.8 percent in March 2010, after experiencing a larger percentage-point increase from its pre-recession average to its peak than the overall unemployment rate did. Since then, the African-American unemployment rate has seen a larger percentage-point decline in the recovery, falling much faster than the overall unemployment rate over the last year.
* The real median income of black households increased by 4.1 percent between 2014 and 2015.
* Obama enacted permanent expansions of the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit, which together now provide about 2 million African-American working families with an average tax cut of about $1,000 each.
* The poverty rate for African Americans fell faster in 2015 than in any year since 1999. While the poverty rate fell for across all racial and ethnic groups this year, it fell 2.1 percentage points (p.p.) for African Americans, resulting in 700,000 fewer African Americans in poverty.
* African American children also made large gains in 2015, with the poverty rate falling 4.2 percentage points and 400,000 fewer children in poverty.
* Since the start of Affordable Care Act's first open enrollment period at the end of 2013, the uninsured rate among non-elderly African Americans has declined by more than half. Over that period, about 3 million uninsured nonelderly, African-American adults gained health coverage.
* Teen pregnancy among African-American women is at an historic low. The birth rate per 1,000 African-American teen females has fallen from 60.4 in 2008, before President Obama entered office, to 34.9 in 2014.
* Life expectancy at birth is the highest it’s ever been for African Americans. In 2014, life expectancy at birth was 72.5 years for African-American males and 78.4 for African-American females, the highest point in the historical series for both genders.
* The high school graduation rate for African-American students is at its highest point in history. In the 2013-2014 academic year, 72.5 percent of African-American public high school students graduated within four years.
* Since Obama took office, over one million more black and Hispanic students enrolled in college.
* Under Obama, among African-Americans and Hispanic students 25 and older, high school completion is higher than ever before. Among African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian students 25 and older, Bachelor’s degree attainment is higher than ever before. As of 2015, 88 percent of the African-American population 25 and older had at least a high school degree and 23 percent had at least a Bachelor’s degree.
* Under Obama, Pell Grant funding for HBCU students increased significantly between 2007 and 2014, growing from $523 million to $824 million.
* The incarceration rates for African-American men and women fell during each year of the Obama Administration and are at their lowest points in over two decades.
* Nearly 250 communities in all 50 states, 19 Tribal Nations, Washington, DC and Puerto Rico have accepted the President’s My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge to dedicate resources and execute their own strategic plans to ensure all young people can reach their full potential.
I honestly felt this is why Ben Carson was so underrated. He credits his success to his mother's influence and the rest to the merit principle. But considering his mother was illiterate, it was no small thing that she made him read and persevere. It's sad that something like having a good mom isn't as newsworthy as some identity politic label. Elder's assertions about the integrity of the family unit being paramount to the success of the black community isn't as fancy as creating a new victim group.
@robin huff - And that _point_ is what exactly?
If you try to get something for nothing, you'll end up getting nothing for something.
-Larry Elders' father.
"would it be okay if I burned up a building if the police disrespected me...are riots okay?"
- Just wait my man just wait
Almost feels like this was recorded last week, not 3 years ago lol
He was saying that specifically because he had already lived through multiple times when riots and arson happened for this exact reason. Nothing new under the sun.
For real tho. Him and sowell and Rubin and Peterson and Shapiro have only become more right and more needed than ever
I was a life long Democrat, and a union carpenter.. in short, a labor guy. I am now listed as Independent. I have somewhat libertarian political views, but LARRY ELDER is my hero. Props to Dave Rubin for getting him on the show.
Robert Tuss vote republican to ensure the crazy democrats don’t make it in office.
Larry Elder is just as pathetic as Donald Trump.
Omoile Charles Snr
In my opinion Trump is a liar with no leadership skills who will not take responsibility for anything and Larry Elder defends Trump. Both are pathetic. Trump’s handling of the Coronavirus pandemic shows that he does not have a clue.
@@royguster5576 Sounds to me like you're the pathetic one with no clue. Move out of mom's house and get a job!
Robert Tuss
I have my own business with an advanced college degree. When are you going to learn to think for yourself? Again Larry Elder is pathetic as well as his non thinking followers.
Larry is such a good guest. Clever bloke
Dave would be the PERFECT moderator for the next presidential debate.
In theory, yes. To push their narrative, no.
And that's why he won't be.
josh yea because you don’t like the truth
Imagine how different the world would be if Larry Elder was the first black POTUS...
As far as I'm concerned, if he did become POTUS, he would in fact be the first black president.
he'd be shot at a speaking for not enabling everyone.
And anybody with a brain would agree with you: Obama's mom was white. Larry Elder, afaik, had both parents black.
There'd be an epic fight with him against shapiro for 2020, lol. Maybe 2024 if Trump builds the wall.
Poor guy might go crazy with all the machinations.
Addressing climate change is all the left in Canada has left to offer me, but they're plagued by the regressive ideas that characterize the left in the USA currently. There is currently no political party in Canada that reflects my values which are similar to yours, Dave.
I can't see myself entering politics in the short term, as I have to get my career rolling and secure a solid income for myself and my girlfriend, but in the long term I may feel compelled to. How else can I ensure that classical liberalism still has a voice in Canada?
I should also say that Larry Elder is an outstanding guest and I wouldn't mind seeing him become a regular on the show.
Alex Eddy I feel very similar to you as a Canadian. Part of your trouble I believe is that environmental efforts are usually in opposition to liberal values. Environmental regulations is putting the collective ahead of the individual therefore if the environment is that important, you must then make a sacrifice in your political stance. Good luck to you and the rest of us in Canada.
Alex Eddy Also you might not like to hear this but O'Leary is the closest thing to a classical liberal that I've heard speak in Canadian politics as of late.
+soulfuzz the seer .. also the problem with big government is that whenever they get in the mix all they create is a bunch of cronyists and corrupt regulatory system and NO REAL SOLUTION... their "cure" is often far worse than the problem itself... I believe that regular people DO care about the environment and free market WILL provide solutions bc free individuals, as a group, are far more moral than big government with power to regulate.
RequiemFor America I think we pretty much agree then. But I do believe in some regulations as there will always be people who would rather save their business money by dumping their shit on the rest of us. I have worked for a struggling business before and I understand what people will do when money gets tight.
+soulfuzz the seer oh yes there should be some laws set in place - there are just too many regulations that are counterproductive today is all. Point taken about people having difficulty with $... This is why i'm afraid of the most ot what the government would do when their money gets tight... at least what private companies would do is limited in scope due to their lack of power... www.usdebtclock.org
This man's parents raised him so well. He is a wealth of knowledge. He lets the facts speak and not his emotions like many Americans
I've been a liberal Democrat for my whole life, and the more I watch Dave Rubin the more I realize I actually tend to agree with true conservatives. Not Alt-Right necessarily, because I honestly feel like there is a racist undertone in Alt-Right. But normal conservative/centrist individuals make much more sense than both the Alt-Right and radical left. The Democratic party has been leaving me, and not the other way around. It's upsetting, but I believe it is important for me as an individual to be open to the idea that things I've previously thought and believed are not always correct. And I should continue to keep that same mindset. Life is a learning experience and it behooves us to always look for self-improvement.
Larry Elder is a brilliant man. I would vote for him, regardless the party platform he runs on, if he ran for president.
Welcome to my world :) I am a Black professional and was raised dem. But I believe in personal and individual freedom. Which the current dem leadship does not.
I also believe in the 2nd amendment, making decisions based on evidence and data, and facts over feelings.
There is a huge divide in the "black community" over collectivism vs individualism, and victim vs victory mentality.
I can no longer support a party thats main message is victim hood
When Hillary basically said screw you working class union member. I will pick up two quiche eating, latte sipping, beemer driving metrosexual voters so f you and you really have no where else to take your vote anyway!
It is men like this who know exactly how to answer questions, and does his research to prove why he believes what he believes. Larry is an amazing phenomenon, and I’d hope he runs for president. He’d be the first nominee to ever get my vote. I’ve thought I was strictly conservative for years, but Larry and Dave Rubin have shown me I’m more libertarian than I expected.
The fringe on the left and the right are both terrible. Most people are in the middle. Just remember that the left wing and right wing are attached to the same bird.
What do you understand by Alt Right and exactly what do you know about Alt Right?
Great interview, Dave. Larry Elder was a breath of fresh air.
Billy Wardlaw. Amen, best comment!
Larry Elder is a right wing crackpot who complains about left wing crackpots. All of his facts are cherry picked to support his crackpot positions. Larry Elder refuses to discuss any actual LEGITIMATE race grievances. Instead, he PRETENDS that genuine white racism abuses play no role at all in the problems of Black Americans today.
Larry Elder is absolutely great to listen to, like a breath of fresh air
unsigned from tyt and subbed to you. god forbid ppl be honest and true.
Welcome!
Mønkey gee thanks. Nobody at TYT was kind to anyone. They even seem to hate each other!
José Guzman
I tried TYT for a while, too much opinion and hand waving. Not enough hard facts.
TYT used to be good.
Then Cenk sold out. Again and again. This last time to fuckin' Soros himself. TYT is a propaganda filled husk of what it was 5 years ago. Such a sudden and disappointing decline of what would have been a solid alternative news source.
Fuck TYT.
Larry Elder's laugh gives me life
:thinking:
Larry Elder is the most underrated commentator in America
No, there's nothing left for me, from the left. They've gone off the deep end.
And Mr. Elder sir, will you marry me? 😉
Yes I will.
Billbo Baggins WHERE!?!?
Stop stealing people's man.
Oh, yes, Dee Dee Moore - he is an awesome man. Both me and my mother want to marry him too! But alas, we can't I am already married to a wonderful man, and mom (Vera Prizant) well, she is a happily elderly widow. ;)
Dee Dee Moore welcome we are not the people the left makes us out to be
I want to 1) echo the praise for Mr. Elder - he has a command of the facts and can articulate them well...and he holds Mr. Rubin to the point Mr. Rubin raised. But just as important 2) thanks and praise to Mr. Rubin who has the courage to ask these questions, face facts with an open mind and be willing to recognize when the foundation of his thought may be flawed and needs rethinking. This is an awesome interview! I have watched it several times.
I love that Dave has to reassure people every video that he's still a Liberal, otherwise the crazies on the left will devour him for agreeing with Conservatives.
And he's gay too..... He rarely references that get out of jail card...... but he has it ready just in case, because god knows, these Liberal bastards will try to negate his arguments using that one too.
Joe you and OP are talking about liberal crazies and liberals being aggressive yet here you both are consumed by your own hate and unstableness. I LOVE IT HAHA :*
Good thing they don't know liberalism is on the right. The Socialists fucked up with that doublethink indoctrination, using backward definitions and a paradoxical spectrum. The underlings don't even realise that they are embracing the philosophical enemy.
He's what liberals used to be. The difference between conservative and liberal used to be much morre marginal.
Classical liberal is now considered a conservative. The cline keeps moving.
Look at how happy and content Mr Elder is compared to other blacks who grew up in Compton CA also, who are angry, hate filled bigots.
I love Mr Elder. A good man!
TRUMP 2020! ELDER/SHAPIRO 2024!
Never Shapiro
Thomas Sowell?
@@josephbenson1742 Walter E Williams??
Black Dynamite -or Elder/Owens? Either way- finally people speaking truth!
He’s Canadian, and we dearly need him here.
Dave,
This is one of the finest interview series I've seen in my 50+ years of time on this earth. You're asking all the right questions. You're listening for the questions and asking the proper follow up. Like many in your interview chair, I've always identified myself as conservative or libertarian, but you have taught me something about myself. I'm actually a classic liberal! If only our "main stream media would stand in front of the mirror and do some self reflection. They too could be advancing the process of critical thought in our country and world. Well done Dave! Well done!
-Tim Ko
If I was billionaire I would give Cenk Uygur 10m $ for charity pursues if He would make 2h interview with mr Elder and put video on main TYT channel.
Wulfgar I think that's how you summon a demon. Cenk would short circuit
I'm sure it would result in a wonderful reasonable discussion.
Make it happen!
we've have to all turn down our volumes
Wulfgar Lol I want to see that but I must convince you to start with a lower amount. $10 million!? Do a crowdfunding campaign or something!!
Man, I love going back to this only a couple months later...Dave is now almost universally reviled by the people he used to pal about with - probably because he's eclipsed them and is now no longer beholden to RUclips - which is on the one perhaps sad for him, but better for his health! And we're all glad to have you on our non-side, Dave!
Larry Elder - my hero. Amazing interview.
Nearly everything that Larry Elder is saying is the same thing Thomas Sowell was preaching about in the late 70s and early 80s,... it's the absolute truth!
I have so much respect for both of you, especially you, Mr. Rubin. So few prominent people on the left are willing to evolve and change.
28:30 Maximum personal freedom matched with maximum personal responsibility... brainsplode
It's been an interesting ride for the almost 30 years that I have been a Classical Liberal (aka Libertarian). In the 90 and early 2000s, my Republican friends saw me as a Democrat, and my Democrat friends saw me as a Republican. Dave, your journey is a perfect example of how the lines have shifted. I have seen some longtime Democrat friends leave the party (some became independents, some Libertarian), while others have doubled down and followed the leftward herd off the deep end. I have seen longtime Republican friends do the same. Some have now joined the Classical Liberal movement, while others have doubled down in support of Trump. However, it is notable that I can still have reasoned debates with those Trump loving Republicans, but I can no longer do that with very many of the Trump hating leftists. Dave, I appreciate that you have done such a good job of articulating this shift. I never thought I would see the day when Democrats would be espousing hate and violence. Almost everything that I loved about that party doesn't exist there anymore.
Dave has changed a lot since his 2015 video with Milo. He is much more open and much less likely to argue with people. He seems to have become increasingly libertarian and has dropped a lot of the lefts identity politics that he threw up at Milo. I am impressed to see how much he has grown, and I know this is mirrored in many of us who value freedom on both the left and the right.
I for one have changed very much, at the time of this video I was hanging onto every word Cenk Uygur and Russel Brand said, and was totally left wing. I was on the brink of seeing myself as a male feminist too. But I have in the last year gone from that to being very culturally libertarian and am dead against feminism and social justice warriors.
My eyes have been opened, and it was all because I listened to a 90s hit by L7, a feminist rock band, which I had recently become a fan of, called 'When We Pretend That We're Dead' and I heard the line "Turn the tables with our unity, or just say no to individuality". I was a bit surprised to hear that they viewed individuality as a negative, as it was something I held to be very important. That same day I went home and I saw Shoeonheads video 'The Pink Tax' in my feed. I expected it to be a feminist video, but was immediately transported into the anti social justice world, that same night finding Undoomed, Sargon, and many many others. My transformation was almost immediate. It was one of the most profound experiences of my life. I moved on to following much more learned people like Jordan B Peterson, Jonathan Haidt, Steven Pinker, Camille Paglia, Christina Hoff Sommers, Karen Straughn, Janice Fiamengo and so many more.
Anybody else have a crazy instant transformation like this? Or was it more gradual?
I haven't transformed. I was a clear thinking non-ideologist from the very early years of my life. This might be due to my high IQ, which means it is likely that I see patterns and connect dots much more quickly than the rest of the society.
J T wow, you must be really insecure to make a statement like that. There's a high correlation between that and high IQ. But you probably already knew that.
Josiah R Did you reply to the wrong comment? Lol
Nasty Noises Inc no, why? I was in a similar boat as you. But IQ has very little to do with it. Hence my response.
Josiah R Your comment makes no sense to me sorry.
Larry Elder: a really remarkable man... Admirable.
And Dave Rubin's intro is excellent.
J. Abbink I skipped the intro
Was only slightly aware of Larry Elder 2 hours ago. After watching both interviews, I'm ready to follow him anywhere.
Ease54 this is how I felt when I first heard him speak.. had to go and listen to every interview of him I could on RUclips...
Elder is my fav guest he has on
Fantastic fantastic interview.
Dave is probably the most open-minded and unbiased person I've ever encountered in anyway. I definitely don't think he is the most correct on every issue but man does he seek the truth.
Larry would've been 10x better than Obama.
Eric Chandler
What world are you living in? Larry Elder is quite pathetic as is his hero
Donald Trump.
President Barack Obama presided over a growing economy and he attempted to achieve a healthcare policy to help improve healthcare of more citizens. The Republican Party were obstructionists with regard to creating a better healthcare system.
Under the Republicans and Donald Trump the economy and our healthcare system are in crisis.
All the work that President Obama did to improve the economy and the healthcare of the American people has gone down the drain under the administration of President Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
Larry Elder and Donald Trump are both quite pathetic!
@@royguster5576
Haha, that is rich! And you are asking him in what world he is living?
In what world YOU are living?
Only 10X?
Lorrie Mize
What yardstick are you using? As a Trump supporter Larry would only be a carnival barker entertainer. Donald Trump ran for President as an accomplished businessman who gets things done. Trump is actually a
failed businessman with four bankruptcies. This should let everyone know instead of solving problems, Trump does not accept responsibility and seeks the easy way out.
This video should be required viewing in every classroom! About 25 years ago, the TV was on in the backround and Larry was being interviewed. The interviewer asked him what he thought of Jesse Jackson, and when he said Jesse is in the "we shall overcome" business and that black people HAVE overcome, my head snapped around. Larry's the man!!
Larry to save California
As California goes so does the country
If people just listen to Larry talk logic and facts everyone would be better off
Larry Elder is fantastic. Thank you Larry. 😀
Love you Dave Rubin!!! You do important work!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Larry Elder's my favourite conservative, I would listen to him everyday if his content wasn't locked behind a paywall
He's free on RUclips now. Grown so many new followers.
Have to say this is one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Thank you guys.
Hands up for Dave Rubin, he is a good reporter. I can tell he cares about people, his country, and treats people of differing views with complete respect. Awesome.
Wow. 35:00. Larry hit the nail on the head about Obama and what he could have done vs what he actually did. That is the single biggest reason why so many people (like myself), who voted for Obama in 2008 became so disenchanted with him in 2012.
I couldn't agree more.
Obama has missed a unique opportunity because he, and even more so his wife, have quite anti-white, that is racist, views themselves. That is why the "first couple" has done nothing to unify the country. They misused their power and influence to divide society on the basis of immutable characteristics like ethnicity and skin color.
I used to be able to listen to Larry Elders on Patriot radio in Fort Wayne, IN. The station was taken off after about 6 months. I loved listening to this guy. Larry is cool.
Well worth the hour to watch.
Just found your channel a couple days ago, and watching through all your interviews. Really fantastic content, refreshing in its self-awareness and honesty. My only complaint is not with the program, but with the state of our society - while there is a plethora of well-spoken conservative leaders, able to concisely articulate their values and positions... there seems a stark lack of similar liberal leaders. I wish it weren't the case, because I'm finding my social media streams decisively one-sided in the common sense, logic, and rationalism departments.
If we are being honest there is a real easy reason for that. Liberal politics are not about values or defending your positions. It has become nothing but name calling and identity politics which takes the view if you disagree with me you are some type of "ism".
So when is Thomas Sowell going to be on?
Sowell is retired.
vinnyg101 Just from columns; he still went on Peter Robinson's show afterward, and published a revision. I bet he'd go on if asked. Well... hope. It would be so awesome!
Sowell is the philosopher, economist, genius of the second half of the 20th century. I want that interview to happen so badly, especially if Ben Shapiro is involved.
Now
Nice to hear someone talk rationally and calmly with real reasoning for their beliefs.
Wonderful episode. A lot of respect for Larry Elderman. Voice of effortless reason.
Is there a show like this but for UK politics? This guy and his guests are great.
This video has aged quite well😎
Larry is awesome, Dave is an excellent interviewer, and it was long enough to really spell out some of Larry's points instead of touching briefly on them.
THIS should be shown in schools
Dave Rubin is inspiring, a testament of what America is all about.
larry elder is a great man. articulate, informed and wise.
Dave, love what you are doing ! concerned for your health...take good care of yourself ok? Will be praying for you.
LARRY ELDER 2020
Omg this is so refreshing!!!!!!!!!
Larry is back!
Ha! Misread that third word at first glance.
Kaddywompous lol he would be right on accounts tho.
Yes, yes, we all know that he's black.
ruclips.net/video/pAgnJDJN4VA/видео.html
Larry nailed it in his opening response: Dave not only asked questions, he cared enough to shut up and listen to the answers, rather than use the questions as a device to draw out something he disagreed with so he could jump in and interrupt with his own views and try to shout down the guest - which I've seen all too often during interviews.
The last interview was awesome because two people with differing opinions sat and talked with respect for one another. Whether you believe with either side in whole or in part or not at all, the fact that they were able to talk in a civilised manner made both sides of the interview a pleasure to listen to.
I stopped identifying with the left when I realized that despite being disabled and LGBT, my opinion wasn't welcome because neither are my Identity/staples of who I am and I showed appreciation for those who cared enough to give me 'unsolicited advice' in regards to my health.
I found back then, around/at least 5 years ago, that people want to be oppressed and victimized, even when self inflicted, because it gives them something to fight for no matter how empty a cause, as well as a badge of honor as if possessing bravery/nobility. I learned this through trying to share my story; my experience of being chronically ill (heart problem since 8 years old) and disabled (Scoliosis Corrective surgery at 15 that left me with extensive nerve damage that causes immobility and/or short-term paralysis) being met with statements like "Must be nice" or "Well lucky you" for things that work for me or ways I've adapted.
People want to bitch, with or without reason, and they don't want to be held accountable for making things better. They don't want to have power over their lives because that means the state of their life is their responsibility and it's easier to blame others than look at yourself as being the reason you've gone nowhere and accomplished nothing.
While yes, there are innate challenges in being disabled, my experience of being physically disabled hinders my ability to do many physical things and of those physical things that I can do, I'm often left not being able to for long because of my heart but that's just life. Life isn't easy or fair and the lack of easiness and fairness doesn't equate to oppression or victim-hood.
Larry Elder - I am with you. Awesome interview, Dave. As usual!
I fucking love elder
listen to Thomas Sowell. He is even more awesome
I am late to this party, but best monologue ever and spot on.
Phenomenal interview! Gripping and informative throughout. Dave your ability to let conversation flow, and guide the conversation through seamless transitions is astounding. Very good job!
God almighty I am donating to Rubin report. GREAT content here and praise be to Mr Elder for speaking like a rational, common sense person. Where can I hear more from him?
Very good interview. This is why I subscribed to your channel a few months ago.
Also, I would really like it if you had THE BLM guy on. He probably has to be treated with kiddie/white gloves just to even entertain the idea of interviewing with a "normal person".
Krysdavar Dave asked but was ignored.
Me, too!
So good I listened twice
So much fun looking back at Rubin's awakening!*
Love Larry Elder!
I'm fairly liberal but Larry Elder is amazing!
Well that's an enlightened and 'intelligent' reply.
Melvins Fanatic '79 it’s just logic. Glad you are open minded. We need more of that
people like you are a potential for real positive turn
Larry Elder is my favorite guest interviewee in this show!
Larry's laugh after the Obama scandal thing 😂
he’s awesome !!! keep spreading the good word
I turned off AdBlock. For you bro.
Dude, that's like an internet marriage proposal.
it''s getting pretty steamy in here.
get a room! 😂
I listened to Larry for like 20 years now and I never really got to know him till he started to run for California Governor...He would be Very Very good for the State!
Yeah!! good morning Dave bud! keep on preaching about those crazy regressives
Watching this in June 2020, when Larry talks about riots and fires... foreshadowing of the century
"He was the only answer to this absurd equation."
Well said
Hell is paved with good intentions
"A black guy and a Jew defend a Nazi's right to free speech" should be the name of your book when you write it Dave.
gbiota1
Better yet: “A black guy and a gay Jew defend a Nazi’s right to free speech”
Wait, you guys don't believe society is strong enough to shun those ignorant ideas? Wait again, your libtards that believe in socialism and authoritarianism... Yeah we're screwed, your all easily persuaded! Hahaha
Larry elder is a champion of positivity. Dave is a new helpful light of guidance. I love this video. One thing id like put into the convo when slavery is brought up is the 700 years the irish and scotish were enslaved by the british and how moving forward without complainingis the only way to eliminate continued animosity on both sides.
TOP NOTCH interview - very thought-provoking guest!
I really enjoyed the conversation. I'm a conservative libertarian, a mix of both. This discussion was a pleasure because you both were mutually respectful.
Larry elder n david Clarke 2020 now that's a ticket i could get behind
It's crazy how relevant this is today
I agree with a lot of what he said, mainly about being fed that I'm a victim. I had a few racist experiences, but they were isolated, and it was never on the job. However, I think most media outlets, and politicians are corrupt. Donald Trump, Obama, Clinton, Bush were, and is fucked up. Why, because if you go for what group, it's highly possible to hurt another. I'm not a liberal, or conservative. Also, everyone is on the Trump wagon so as long as they benefit. I'm not a fan, but he is doing what he said he would, but now it's all about how.
That's how I feel about it. I hate having to defend Trump. As he is not above criticism, but the level of blind attack against him is ridiculous. At any rate, I don't think the country is going to explode now that Trump is in office (for only 4 years at least). One thing I worry about and Ben Shapiro expressed the same concern to Rubin, was that the Government has gotten so huge, that we have become dependent on it and Ben didn't think we could go back from that.
Akhirah Strong I voted for Trump because it was the best for America. I don't benefit directly but indirectly.
Fantastic yet again
Great interview Dave, with a powerful personality. A very enlightening discussion.
What an interesting perspective. Larry Elder is so honest and he's right about it all.
Christine
was he right about how Obama hasn't improved the economy.
what about that test that showed that police were more likely to shoot a white person than a black. that test that had bin called into question. was he right about that?
what about systemic racism are you saying there is absolutely no systemic racism any were in america.
come on take you're blinkers off. he is a full of shit as anyone on the mainstream left.
I agree with you. He's sure right on the money, a year later!
Great interview! Thanks for allowing us conservatives a platform to speak. Would love to see Thomas Sowell on here.
This interview is like blowing my mind in July 2020. The foreshadowing....
Elder is a cool dude I loved when he thrashed Chris Matthew's it was hilarious!
Yes!! i have been waiting for this for a whole day!
I don't agree with Larry's politics really (a lot of his philosophy I do, for sure, but not most of his politics), but you can't say this guy isn't brilliant. You can tell right away he's a smart dude. I like that. He's not making me into a right winger any time soon, but I can enjoy the interview.
RobSchneiderIsAStapler - That's what's so great about Dave's show. Two men with differing opinions can sit and share their thoughts, and we all learn something as a result. Easily the best talk show around, by far
with all due respect I disagree. He speaks nicely, but he has a lot of problems in his arguments. He says for example that Obama had a lot of "scandals" and then cites pulling the troops out of Iraq as a scandal. Can't really say that's a "scandal" even if you think it wasn't a good policy. Obama was pretty up front about his plans to do exactly that. A scandal is "an action or event regarded as morally or legally wrong and causing general public outrage." I think its very hard to call that a scandal. Then he cites the "IRS scandal" which has been totally debunked. In fact the only group that ever was de-listed was liberal. The email server is a bit of a "scandal" but was really on HRC, not Obama. And when he just said that watergate really wasn't a big deal, it's pretty hard to take that argument seriously at all. I could go on.....
Whatever Obama did or didn't do, you will hate him. It's a done deal, and whatever horrific scandals Trump is doing and will do, you will give a pass. Did you know that Trump has a private email server? But of course only Hillary deserves jail for that.
serious question Rob. how can you separate Philosophy from Politics? I don't understand how this is possible.
at the end of the day politics is nothing but the legalization of your philosophy.
"how can you separate Philosophy from Politics?"
Sometimes you can reach wrong conclusions with the right arguments, and sometimes the problem is with HOW to "legalize" your philosophy.
I do love Mr. Elder!
This whole "dont be a victim" mentality is the same thing the 2nd amendment guys have said forever. Glad your hear. Great interview
'EXCELLENT"... MUST ADMIT... a must "watch/hear" History in the making.
"I can't say that it was my best moment on camera, but I listened and learned." It some ways I think that may mean it was your best moment on camera.
respect to larry elders father big time respect
