Why was Dave Rubin woke?

追加: 2026-05-21

[00:00:00]Why were you woke? Well, first off, the phrase woke, that was not a phrase then.

[00:00:04]It was for black people.

[00:00:05]>> It was Well, I guess maybe [music] for black people. I I am white.

[00:00:08]>> Are you? When I started working at The Young Turks, they were a lefty progressive network. You know David Webb from Fox? He's a conservative who happens to be black. One night, I'm on air with The Young Turks, and they're showing a video of him, and they're talking about [music] how he's an Uncle Tom, and he's a sellout, and how can a black person be conservative about this guy that I know who is a good friend of mine. David Webb, he apparently gets paid to be the Uncle Tom of the conservative movement.

[00:00:31]>> And I remember sitting [music] there and looking at them like, holy cow, you guys are the racists. Because I know David, and I know he is a good man. I know he fights for what he believes. He's forthright [music] and honest. And you just see him as a black man, and if that black man does not believe what you, Mr. Tolerance Progressive, want him to believe, then you think you can call him all of the worst [music] things in the world. There was some energy around it, and I think it's why it attracts a lot of young people. Not that any of the ideas of wokism or identity politics really worked, but it's that they're so freaking emotive, and young [music] people thrive on emotions more than facts.

[00:01:06]Yeah.
