The worst is how Jerry stops himself when Phil isn't even interrupting him and starts freaking out about being interrupted. I got to about the 6 minute mark and he starts that bullshit again, can't finish his own sentence because he's so busy creating this fantasy of being suppressed by the man at all turns, even when he's being given a major media platform and frigging fumbling it like a smartass 16-year-old who just discovered espresso. Phil's one of the greatest hosts in TV history and I just heard mention of this interview today. Don't think I can finish it though, I've heard enough from guys like Jerry already, and I'm a counterculturist but he's just a grifter.
In memory of Daytime Talk Show Host, Phillip John "Phil" Donahue. 1935-2024. He was 1 out of the First 5 Daytime Talk Show Hosts that I remember in my Life; the others being Oprah Winfrey (1954-), Sally Jessy Rahael (1935-), Geraldo Rivera (1943-), and Joan Rivers (1933-2014).
Phil was a little more than just the first of your five. The first three you named never would've happened without Phil Donahue blazing a trail for them to follow. Even Oprah admits that much. Imho, Sally & Geraldo were poor imitations of talk show hosts. The latter fell on his sword upon opening Capone's vault on live TV.
Well his future was writing a book 5 years later titled “Growing Up At 37” where he denounced his Marxist bull and he eventually made money on Wall Street and supported Gary Hart. He also put Abbie Hoffman in his place in a 1985 debate. Hoffman failed to condemn the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and crushing Solidarity in Poland.
@@barsouk Great points, Dave. Considering that the 'future' of the Woodstock generation was the Reagan revolution, there might be a lesson here for Gen Y and Gen Z. They shouldn't assume the millennials are always going to back their 'progressive' hostility.
Many of the comments here prove that many people love a loud mouth. The fact that Rubin couldn't have a constructive/respectful conversation with Donahue tells us more about the immaturity of Rubin in 1970 than anything else. He is nearly 32 in this video which makes it all the more cringeworthy.
@@chadlivsworth1188 Don't think you were around then The real Jerry Rubin was a fast talking showman always trying to get an angle when talking to the press not some left over acid head from a Greatful Dead Concert. Strong played Rubin in a seemingly semi articulate drug haze that was laughable for anyone who saw the real Jerry in action.
Watching this, I was just thinking how well ”All in the Family“ captured the zeitgeist. I was a kid at the time watching the sitcom, and my parents didn't watch contentious stuff like this, but it's enlightening now to watch clips like this and understand the context the series was made in. Not that he didn't have some real points, but Jerry Rubin was incredibly obnoxious.
Donohue showed so much professionalism and calm. Regardless if Jerry was right or not it’s hard to take his beliefs serious with the way he behaved unprofessional and attacked like a child.
I agree, Jerry Ruban's a child, a smart mouthed, rude, impudent brat in urgent need of a spanking. He speaks very fast and slick but that doesn't mean he's smart. Theres a difference between intelligence and snarkyness/smarminess/sniveness/glibness
I plan to remove this video from this channel and copy all the comments over to my other channel InfoS'mores. I have a lot of great material on that channel including some classic Crossfire and Politically Incorrect episodes.
@@rajivmac4034 Five years after this interview, Rubin disavoided most of this Moast crap in his 1975 book "Growing Up at 37" and years later debated Abbie Hoffman and properly decried the brutal Soviet invasion of Afghanistan at a time where Soviet versions of Rubins and Hoffmans were non existent (or were sent to oppressive mental hospitals run by the KGB).
In the spring or summer of 1988, Donahue ran a classic episode since he was on vacation or just not on the air that day. I recorded it because I had just read a book about The Chicago Seven. It was a blast because I heard *Commie Asshole* peppered throughout my household as this show went on and I was laughing. I hated Rubin's politics too but found his interaction with Donahue and the audience and callers very entertaining. I also advised my family members that in the Soviet Union, they do not have TV shows like this. Vladimir Posner (Phil's colleague in the USSR) was still brainwashed somewhat and despite Glasnost in 1988, was not willing to allow firebrand Soviet versions of Jerry Rubin to be on Soviet TV. A few years later, my mother played this for her Junior High history class.
Phil used to let fans get episodes of the show if you sent postage and an envelope self addressed. Apparently he kept EVERY episode he ever did dating back to his local show in the 60s.
In what way? BTW, Jerry Rubin moderated his views and had a great debate against former friend and co-founder of YIP Abbie Hoffman. I appreciate Jerry's sharp criticism of the Left in the West ignoring the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. You may even see this debate provided in the list of RUclips videos to the right.
Donahue rebroadcasted this and other old shows for an anniversary, perhaps the 30th anniversary of his show. I saw this show live in my 8th grade classroom in Dayton, Ohio when the show could be seen on only a few TV stations in Ohio.
In the year 2021. “If you would just be more polite, the people that hate you might respect you. Just obey a little bit more, and you won’t be a slave.”
Yes. It was really ODD that he seemed to join up with the very capitalist system he was criticizing as a young man. I never understood that. Why would he become a broker?
@@giovannacapone An enormous chunk of the Woodstock hippies became Reagan voters. Priorities change when you get older. I think Gen Y and Z should not take it as a given that the millennials will stand with them on their ultra progressive agenda.
Nothing epitomizes the generation gap of the 1960s quite like this video. They're just rhetorizing on completely different wavelengths and not getting anywhere. And the fact that Rubin became an entrepreneur just shows how much political opinions at the time were divided along binary and temporary aesthetic lines.
Rubin was born in 1938 and Donahue was born in 1935.Rubin was a generation salesman.That got way out of hand today.People repeat words like “boomer” and “Gen-x” and “Millennial” like parrots but they can’t converse intellectually.
Jerry was so right on; the only way to get this kind of truth across on national television is to play the court jester. Not that it made any difference, but it’s poetry in motion.
@@putler965 Jerry Rubin wasn't really the most solid freak to begin with. If you've ever read any of his "work", like "Do It" for instance, one could get the impression that Rubin dove into the counter-culture for yuks yuks and opportunity. His writing is mostly sensational and superficial. So, the fact that he veered back into middle class, conservative mainstream America, as the whole country did in the 1980s, it's not necessarily even out of character for him. None the less, he definitely channeled some righteous moments in this era and anyway whatever, who are you Jesus Christ?
Interesting… Smarter than given credit.. Post-activism Soon after, Rubin retired from politics entirely, becoming an entrepreneur and businessman. He was an early investor in Apple Computer, and by the end of the 1970s had become a multimillionaire. In the 1980s, Rubin was now more known for being a Yuppie capitalist.
Fun fact about Jerry Rubin: he became a corporate lawyer, so questioning his sincerity in 1970 was pretty prescient by Donahue. The Yippies may have actually held ideals in 1968, but they repelled people and groups that shared their goals, so they helped elect Nixon.

@@barsouk you're all wrong. Capitalism covers a very wide range of activities. From small businesses to Wall Steet, to drug trafficking, etc. Wall Street It is certainly the activity that has screwed up the most the economy, just ask 2008. You can choose, and Jerry chose Wall Street.
@richierich505 Taking certain drugs on a regular basis can and often does affect one's mental state. Besides crackheads and alcoholics, one classic example would be "Roid Rage" from steroid abuse. That being said, calling Rubin a "psychonaut" is still a load of romanticized crap. I stand by my original comment.
@@brianbullivant4753 well take a lot of LSD and that’s what you sound like. I’m not saying it’s the best thing, later on in life Rubin was very much anti drug. I’m JS if you take a lot of psychedelics like he did you’d have a real sense on enlightenment, even if it’s just a feeling. So is it BS? Maybe, but it’s also LSD, which isn’t bullshit at all. You’d have to try it to understand hopefully you do it’s an amazing experience
Jerry wanted freedom and peace. So did all the protesters in the 60s. He wouldn't kill for it, but boy he killed with his delivery, as an anarchist, as a revolutionary... And he would have killed for peace in the metaphorical sense; he was just DYING for peace! On THIS show, he called out Phil Donahue, used the show for his own noble purposes, which was the anti war, anti capitalist noble purpose. He didn't care about Phil Donahue, called the show plastic, but he still went on the show. Didn't he? He played the game, and the game sort of, in its own way, played him. But he got heard. Then it all changed. Yes it did. It's all so interesting. And SO poignant: he went from what he was here on this show to joining EST, becoming a suit and tie business man, in the 80s, who debated former cadre Abbie Hoffman. JERRY wasn't going to "hang on." Was he. HE was going to "get real." A different "real" in the 80s than from who HE was in the 60s. Right? What happened? My how people change. You just never know. Peace, love, and all that "getting real." My, my. Peace, love, and hang on, in these here tough times. ❤️ The whole WORLD'S gone capitalist. Isn't THAT interesting.
Some people disparaged President Nixon back in the early 70s because they were trying to challenge him on the grounds of being "uncool" and "uptight". They certainly couldn't challenge his success or his brilliant foreign policy, they'd lose every time. Ruben KNEW he was just being a jerk and disavowed it all in 1975. Nixons foreign policy turned out to be right on the money. Turns out he was right all along!
Rubin and Hoffman at that time would love the emergence of Red China being the number one power in the world. At that time, the Yippies owed their allegiance to Mao (which is ironic b/c China was skimming the arms that the USSR was shipping to Hanoi). The US and Communist Vietnam being allies against Red China would be interesting.
I love Jerry Rubin. To many he is one of the most important people of the 20th Century. He showed that protest and counter culture can be countered easily with the policeman's club and that the roots of the counter culture will wither on the vine under the billy club's blows. However, when he became a successful businessman he showed that wealth is the route to true democracy because no one can argue with the dollar. He was only half right, however. Those who cannot attain wealth must put their lives on the line and prepare to die to make their fellows' lives worth more than the blow of the billy club from the paid lackey of the elites. Call them terrorist or freedom fighter, eventually they will shake hands with the Head of the UN or the US President if they can endure. Ask the North Vietnamese or the Israelis. History holds valuable lessons for those who will learn.
@@barsouk Yes sir.. I dont mean to be disrespectful but he sure was in a non- listening sort of blabbering state. I was just wondering why he couldn't listen and not shut up. He sure was cool.
Mr.Hand said everyone is on dope like Jerry is obviously on speed here what a phoney ended up wearing a suit and making investment money with the man!!!!
I'll give Phil credit. This guy is out of his mind and disrespectful. I understand the hippie m9vement and all. Were turbulent times with the Vietnam War. Rubin and Hoffman were as nuts as the crazy Maga Trump people today. I think rubin was more out of line than abbey hoffman.
This show was filmed in 1970. I sure wish Phil had asked him how he made his money--any money/income--in the preceeding 5 years or so. . Rubin lived off of/basically survived on the "largesse" of college groups and college students....as did his cohorts, like Abbie Hoffman. Rubin, Hoffman and the others were "professional protesters"---for years. By the early 1970s, Rubin and Hoffman were dudes who were approaching their mid-30's and who were living off of the money/generosity of 18, 19 and 20 year old college kids.---People who like 15 years younger than them. They literally had no shame. They were utterly shameless. Rubin and Hoffman were sponges....parasites.....taking food, weed, money for travel expenses....and anything else they could get.....from college kids. Thritysomething "men"......living almost entirely off of young adults.
I like his attempt to show that the TV people are just as bad if not worse then the general public, but that lesson is no longer valid in 2020. This man lived his time, he made his stance, then his cash. He helped the collapse of his own country, he's history.
I watched the movie. The character in the movie was intelligent, witty and interesting. The person in real life just wants to engage in a monologue of sweeping ill thought out statements. It would have been nice and polite if he enegaged in an intelligent discussion with the interviewee . He sounds like a lost individual who was desperately looking for cause.
@@jemellrodgers8209 he hopped on the bandwagon, in the 80s he became a millionaire stock broker, there were debates between Hoffman and Rubin in the 80s, if you can find them they’re very interesting

@@barsouk you're all wrong. Capitalism covers a very wide range of activities. From small businesses to Wall Steet, to drug trafficking, etc. Wall Street It is certainly the activity that has screwed up the most the economy, just ask 2008. You can choose, and Jerry chose Wall Street.
RIP
He said "My grandchildren are gonna read about this trial." But he forgot the Amer gov would not allow that in their schools. 😂
bullshit
I was against the war, and I think he's a arrogant narcissist
@@TFLAME999 He's a "psychonaut"? What a load of crap!
What do you think Trump is?
@@brianbullivant4753 Thats a real thing. Taking psychedelics on the regular will really change your mental state.
@richierich505 Taking certain drugs on a regular basis can and often does affect one's mental state. Besides crackheads and alcoholics, one classic example would be "Roid Rage" from steroid abuse. That being said, calling Rubin a "psychonaut" is still a load of romanticized crap. I stand by my original comment.
@@brianbullivant4753 well take a lot of LSD and that’s what you sound like. I’m not saying it’s the best thing, later on in life Rubin was very much anti drug. I’m JS if you take a lot of psychedelics like he did you’d have a real sense on enlightenment, even if it’s just a feeling. So is it BS? Maybe, but it’s also LSD, which isn’t bullshit at all. You’d have to try it to understand hopefully you do it’s an amazing experience
That theme music is hilarious with this guest. Sorkin should be drawn amd quartered for that movie.
Don't jaywalk on Wilshire blvd on the Wilshire corridor part because it's 7 lanes and it curves and those cars go by fast.
Jerry wanted freedom and peace. So did all the protesters in the 60s. He wouldn't kill for it, but boy he killed with his delivery, as an anarchist, as a revolutionary... And he would have killed for peace in the metaphorical sense; he was just DYING for peace!
On THIS show, he called out Phil Donahue, used the show for his own noble purposes, which was the anti war, anti capitalist noble purpose. He didn't care about Phil Donahue, called the show plastic, but he still went on the show. Didn't he? He played the game, and the game sort of, in its own way, played him.
But he got heard.
Then it all changed. Yes it did.
It's all so interesting. And SO poignant: he went from what he was here on this show to joining EST, becoming a suit and tie business man, in the 80s, who debated former cadre Abbie Hoffman. JERRY wasn't going to "hang on." Was he. HE was going to "get real." A different "real" in the 80s than from who HE was in the 60s. Right? What happened? My how people change. You just never know. Peace, love, and all that "getting real." My, my.
Peace, love, and hang on, in these here tough times. ❤️ The whole WORLD'S gone capitalist. Isn't THAT interesting.
a saint.
Ten years later and he's a wall street stock broker. Talk about turn coat.
At least he spoke out against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan which Abbie failed to do. Abbie probably sided with those Red Fascists.
Turns out Network was a lot less of a parody than people today realize.
He sounds like any random crazy person
A sad, sad character in American history. So sad.
Good boy Phil.
I liked the early 70s. This guy is, in Hindsight, was very accurate about Tricky Dicky
Unfortunately, the USSR had no Jerry Rubin in the 80's when they were brutalizing Afghanistan and were crushing a trade union movement in Poland.
@@infosmores2428
And both the Dumbacrats and the Repulsivecans have been crushing the Trade Union Movement in America for Decadea
Some people disparaged President Nixon back in the early 70s because they were trying to challenge him on the grounds of being "uncool" and "uptight". They certainly couldn't challenge his success or his brilliant foreign policy, they'd lose every time.
Ruben KNEW he was just being a jerk and disavowed it all in 1975. Nixons foreign policy turned out to be right on the money. Turns out he was right all along!
All for ratings. Filibustering the whole show. He sounds totalitarian.
Crazy how alot of this could be people talking about world events today
Rubin and Hoffman at that time would love the emergence of Red China being the number one power in the world. At that time, the Yippies owed their allegiance to Mao (which is ironic b/c China was skimming the arms that the USSR was shipping to Hanoi). The US and Communist Vietnam being allies against Red China would be interesting.
Now I know why Nixon won re-election.
Outta state! Right arm! Farmed out!
I have a new channel with more old shows like this and documentaries. Subscribed ruclips.net/channel/UCk9656aHrfrSm5zfexagsLQ
10 years later Rubin would be back preaching the gospel of corporate America and the stock market.
He grew up. In fact his 1975 book was titled “Growing Up At 37”
@@barsouk that's not growing up. Quite realistically the opposite
I love Jerry Rubin. To many he is one of the most important people of the 20th Century. He showed that protest and counter culture can be countered easily with the policeman's club and that the roots of the counter culture will wither on the vine under the billy club's blows. However, when he became a successful businessman he showed that wealth is the route to true democracy because no one can argue with the dollar. He was only half right, however. Those who cannot attain wealth must put their lives on the line and prepare to die to make their fellows' lives worth more than the blow of the billy club from the paid lackey of the elites. Call them terrorist or freedom fighter, eventually they will shake hands with the Head of the UN or the US President if they can endure. Ask the North Vietnamese or the Israelis. History holds valuable lessons for those who will learn.
Jules Hammond How are Jerry Rubins treated in Communist China?
🥱 yawn yawn yawn...... he don't fit into that. ...so he said but he sure in hell sat on the stage huh?
Typical hippie, thinks he’s smarter than everyone else and he’s not.
Let's not forget about China White Rubin.. 2:14
Shut up! Lemme talking 😍😍
Anyone else think this (along with a lot of "the movement") was all an act... 🤔
Hahahahaha “it’s impolite to interrupt someone while they are talking……” ………… Continues to literally do nothing but exactly that the entire time lol
He was an expert at saying things shocking, but unfortunately nothing worthwhile.
exactly

Yippie! Jerry Rubin is dead.
I mean yippie, Jerry Rubin, is dead.
It's great to find random Norm quotes spread all over RUclips
A rich Jewish kid socialist. no way!
This Rubin guy is a blabbermouth even though he has good points. Maybe it was the coke or somthing.
I didn’t know yippies or hippies did coke. That drug seems so antithetical to their personalities.
@@barsouk Yes sir.. I dont mean to be disrespectful but he sure was in a non- listening sort of blabbering state. I was just wondering why he couldn't listen and not shut up. He sure was cool.
They did plenty of coke, and Abbie Hoffman died from an overdose of pills.
did lil grandma mertrude have the nerve to say America was clean?!?! .. was she blind?? ..
Mr.Hand said everyone is on dope like Jerry is obviously on speed here what a phoney ended up wearing a suit and making investment money with the man!!!!
I'll give Phil credit. This guy is out of his mind and disrespectful. I understand the hippie m9vement and all. Were turbulent times with the Vietnam War. Rubin and Hoffman were as nuts as the crazy Maga Trump people today. I think rubin was more out of line than abbey hoffman.
So you admit that leftists today are nuts.
Good....cos if MAGA are nutcases then the left definitely are lunatic nutcases

Jerry must be high or on something here.
Jerry Rubin v. Abbie Hoffman 15 years later.
ruclips.net/video/UOFBAJ8BlJs/видео.html
This show was filmed in 1970. I sure wish Phil had asked him how he made his money--any money/income--in the preceeding 5 years or so.
.
Rubin lived off of/basically survived on the "largesse" of college groups and college students....as did his cohorts, like Abbie Hoffman.
Rubin, Hoffman and the others were "professional protesters"---for years.
By the early 1970s, Rubin and Hoffman were dudes who were approaching their mid-30's and who were living off of the money/generosity of 18, 19 and 20 year old college kids.---People who like 15 years younger than them.
They literally had no shame. They were utterly shameless.
Rubin and Hoffman were sponges....parasites.....taking food, weed, money for travel expenses....and anything else they could get.....from college kids.
Thritysomething "men"......living almost entirely off of young adults.

I like his attempt to show that the TV people are just as bad if not worse then the general public, but that lesson is no longer valid in 2020. This man lived his time, he made his stance, then his cash. He helped the collapse of his own country, he's history.
Wha?! He accused the TV host of being a dope dealer, etc. Just an empty slander foolishly thrown out at Phil, he didn't "show" anything
He identifies as 15. SOUND FAMILIAR?
What jerk! Just like today’s protesters
Not very articulate but got energy
The first of a long line of confused progressives!
I watched the movie. The character in the movie was intelligent, witty and interesting. The person in real life just wants to engage in a monologue of sweeping ill thought out statements. It would have been nice and polite if he enegaged in an intelligent discussion with the interviewee . He sounds like a lost individual who was desperately looking for cause.
If you see later debates and comments from him it’s clear that he didn’t truly hold all of the values he preached
9:55
Sweet burn
This guy was the biggest phony. Nothing he says is brilliant. All shock value. Abbie Hoffman was different and real.
How was he phony?
@@jemellrodgers8209 he hopped on the bandwagon, in the 80s he became a millionaire stock broker, there were debates between Hoffman and Rubin in the 80s, if you can find them they’re very interesting
then check out rubin in ten years or so after this...ruclips.net/video/7P1x9u-466A/видео.html
Cut to the 80s and he’s become a fckg neoliberal conservative. I can’t decide which version is dislike more.
Plot twist: in the 80s he preached wealth creation is the real American revolution.
