Today's episode of the Essential 11 is a bit more free form. Continuing with the political streak, today's guest is Dave Rubin. Dave is the host of The Rubin Report, the largest talk show about free speech and big ideas where he goes one on one with thought leaders, authors, and comedians in ‘The Sit Down,’ has honest conversations, and moderates opposing voices in ‘The Panel,’ and shares his own unfiltered thoughts in ‘Direct Message.’

Dave has been open with the world about his journey from subscribing to a certain political belief system based primarily on his immutable characteristics to embracing his status as an individual, and he encourages others to do the same in his show, in his talks, and in his new book, "Don't Burn This Book". Today, we talk about all of the above, including, the time Matt basically gave Dave no choice but to eat a bagel, if it's worth it to stay in California, if it's a good idea to vote third party this year, is Donald Trump fighting off Barbarians and Whitewalkers and much more.
