When King described the wrong type of interview where the interviewer dominates the interviewee, he literally perfectly described Bill Maher.

[@chrisx2k6]

He described alot of them.

[@gcgrabodan]

Bill Maher is a Comedian and talk show host. So he talkes and makes jokes and attacks. He never tried to be a Larry type interviewer

[@dustinwestphal803]

@@gcgrabodan then he shouldn't have named his show real time

[@cuckholdaiofcuckadd4209]

Lol

[@gcgrabodan]

Did he? It is called Real Time afaik and before that he had politically incorrect. In both he would discuss with people, not interview them, and say stuff he wants to say. Sam Harris, as another example, also says his pod cast is about having a conversation with other people to discuss topics. No interview, but also not a debate.

[@pietersmal5903]

"[...] they're not news channels, they are Trump channels; one's pro-Trump, one's anti-Trump, one sometimes hate Trump [...]" - Larry King.

[@ordinarydevin]

Really it's more like they all hate Trump except for a couple...

[@ordinarydevin]

Plus I'm jealous your quote is 5 points ahead of mine. Lol.

[@cuckholdaiofcuckadd4209]

TRUMP IS NEWS AND THE PRESIDENT. so it matters. Of course not everything he does needs to be covered.

[@EdwardsComment]

It's the late night shows, too. All of television is now a Trump reality show.

[@BrokeCanadian]

Obviously this! "Hi I'm Anderson Cooper. Today I'll try to find another thing to nit-pick about our elected president. STAY TUNED!"

[@shirtjuggler]

Strange case of Benjamin button

You can google him and see when he was young. He was cool!

I’ve been around and was 15 in ‘85. He’s aged and is slower now but still alert for sure. Larry is one of those guys I don’t want to get old and feel comfortable hanging around.

Well, he is producing the show, she it's his own fault, I think.

[@iamfrank5171]

"Where is the internet?" I think Mr. King just asked the most critical question of our age.

[@Garrus1995]

Dave should really try to get Steve Bannon on the show. He was recently on Bill Maher so he doesn't scare easy. You may love or hate the guy, but he has a fascinating life story and it'd be interesting to get his take on things in a fair interview.

[@asaenvolk]

yessss then we can add Steve Bannon and Bill Maher to the "Alt-right influencer web"

[@bjkarana]

Bill is trying to stay relevant. I'm not particularly interested by Bannon's ideas, but it's a good idea to bring him into the overall conversation so that one doesn't stay in their preferred bubble.

[@themeatt625]

After the smear campaign against him before and after the election, I find his interviews fascinating. He was mostly an unknown quantity to me. Then he was painted as one of the most evil men of all time. Now that MSM don't care about him anymore, it's interesting to compare his personal views to those he was reported to have.

[@iqbalmahmud8302]

Wtf ... Rubin mate ...You're blowing our expectations in this session ... Lerry is the best ...

[@Arachija]

I believe Rubin used to work for King and was mentored by him.

"Hitler did not comb his hair in the morning and say 'I am a bad person.'" -Larry King (2018)

[@MerganNaidoo]

This saying much older than 2018, at the very least 2010

[@madzangels]

It's official. Dave Rubin. You have arrived. I was in your first 10,000 subscribers. This journey with you Dave has been incredible, you are most deserving of all the reward (and the team around you!). You are an example of what you preach about hard work, a great example to our young and it doesn't surprise me one bit someone like Larry King clearly holds you in high esteem, not surprised at all!

[@ordinarydevin]

madzangels I dare Dave to disagree with you. Lol.

[@cuckholdaiofcuckadd4209]

Been following him since the first episode. We both got "red pilled" around the same time but dave went libertarian(nutty).

[@Arachija]

Larry King mentored Dave Rubin when Rubin worked for him.

[@denniss3980]

King is a legend for the softball question, he would never dig very deep into any topic

[@drewthomasarnal5378]

Congratulations Dave on getting Larry King on! I know you hold him in very high regard. This must have been a great pleasure for you. You deserve it my friend. Keep up the good work!

[@Gabriel-ip6me]

I think they're friends actually, I'm surprised he's not a guest more often (compared to Shapiro, for instance, who's in the show all the time). I know for sure they used to work together at this place called ora tv, and I remember he guest hosted the show once about a year and half ago, maybe two years, when Rubin got his home studio.

[@charlesfarley6741]

A dying breed... I could sit for hours every day and listen to men like Larry King talk, and have. Be truly humble and curious... maybe you can be as great as Larry King some day.

[@LarsBjerregaard]

Oh man! Larry King... I used to watch CNN religiously just for *his* show. The best. It's gonna take a long time methinks before his yardstick is broken.

[@electricdreams8237]

Wow, Rubin and King in one room? It brings a tear to my eye, old grand master gently passing the torch to a his worthy pupil. As long as there are people like King and Rubin around, upholding the standards of real interview journalism, I have hope for the future.

[@waco370]

Damn. Give him a drink of water or something. Lip smacking/swallowing sound is constant in the audio from Larry’s mic. Good content though.

[@perrito261]

It’s not just him though, albeit the worst! It’s the most annoying thing to listen to audibly. Takes away from a lot of the speaking. I know I know he’s old. But I know plenty of people older who don’t have that issue!

[@b0ris360]

S Honey yeah, so frikkin annoying!

[@daithiocinnsealach1982]

I don't know why but this made me laugh.

[@Scando222]

Same thing was bugging me. Got worse towards end on podcast. I guess he’s doing pretty good for 85 just lip smacking after an hour!

[@janetmcgregor775]

Could be a side effect of drugs that keep him alive, old people who've had heart attacks often have to take diuretics like frusemide which dries them out, including their mouth.

[@ErikKislikChessSuccess]

Fantastic interview Dave. I love the fact that Larry King can interview anyone and get straight to the heart of a topic without taking sides, while asking the most pressing and natural questions that we were all thinking.

[@jeesusmeesuss5247]

Larry the Legend. 2 minutes in, and already a reference to the fake news media. 👍

[@jezt42]

Phenomenally good. And Larry King’s socks complement his shirt: attention to detail! :)

[@charlottelrose3221]

When Larry described the characteristics of a good interview - i.e. the guest speaks more than the host - I shouted at the screen YES THAT IS THE RUBIN REPORT. Dave you are a class act, I don't agree with all your guests but listen to them with an open mind as you do.

[@joshipp761]

Charlotte......I was thinking the same thing. Maybe, Dave just needs to mature

[@charlottelrose3221]

Jo S oh I think he is mature, that was my point! The focus is all on the guest. X

[@Barthaneous34]

If Cuba was so beautiful then why were people leaving in the thousands by floats and boats illegally to get to the U.S.A??

[@Gabriel-ip6me]

It is beautiful, but only for tourists; if you live there is hell. They've fabricated these tourist resorts to get good PR and tourism money, but they're only for tourists; cubans cannot live there, go there, spend money in those places (or have money at all)...Funny how things go full circle

[@katnerd6712]

Funny thing is that's the situation that put Castro in power in the first place.

[@Gabriel-ip6me]

@@katnerd6712 I know, that's what I was alluding to when I said things went full circle. Have you ever read Animal Farm? Turned out to be pretty accurate.

[@jonnyutsa1]

One of my favorite parodies is Rush Limbaugh's skit of Larry King interviewing Ken Starr (space alien) & James Carville.

[@joet7580]

Dave: “Now you’ve interviewed pretty much everybody, but was there anyone you feel like you missed?” Larry: “Castro” Dave: “Uhhhhh...”

[@kirklandday]

@Kristin j.r. lmao

[@mjworth65]

Please consider Garrison Keeler of Prairie Home Companion. He did not deserve what he got

[@maxsmodels]

Texting is like a fire and forget missile, you send it on its way and forget about it and they get when they get it. A phone call is done in real time and they have to pick up or you have you leave a message. Dave is correct that texting is simpler but Larry is right, calling is more engaging.

Congragulations Dave on getting the great Larry King on your show. I've actually heard about Mr. King's story of going from New York to Miami before thanks to Full Color Football: The History of the American Football League documentry. If you ever get a chance, definately watch it. It is very interesting and covers what was going on in the country at the time. I actually recommend that to anyone. It's a five part documentry.
