On Friday, March 2, I interviewed the popular YouTube commentator Dave Rubin at the start of Students for Liberty's annual gathering, LibertyCon.

The Q&A was streamed live by C-SPAN and covered a wide range of topics, including Rubin's transition from a hardcore progressive to a moderate libertarian, the rise of political correctness on college campuses, and why people who disagree need to stage civil conversations.
