Political commentary
Dave Rubin describes himself as a classical liberal due to holding more conservative and libertarian views than most modern liberals.

In 2017, he starred in a video by the conservative YouTube channel PragerU where he explained: “Why I Left the Left”. He has characterized progressivism as a “mental disorder”. He has self-described as part of the “intellectual dark web”.
Rubin frequently appears as a speaker at events hosted by Turning Point USA, a conservative student organization. When asked in July 2017 about Trump policies he disagreed with, he criticized Trump’s use of executive orders. Asked in January 2018 about what he disagreed with the right on, he stated that there was “a bit of a religious tone with the right”.
Rubin’s book Don’t Burn This Book: Thinking for Yourself in an Age of Unreason was published in April 2020 by Sentinel. It made The New York Times Best Seller list but was critically panned.

Accusations of platforming extremists
Critics have accused Dave Rubin of providing a platform for individuals considered political extremists, such as self-described New Right figure Paul Joseph Watson, Great Replacement conspiracy theorist Lauren Southern, white nationalist Stefan Molyneux, and far-right activist Tommy Robinson. A 2018 report from Data & Society described Rubin as part of a network on YouTube that amplified far-right politics.
The report cited as an example an interview that Rubin conducted with Stefan Molyneux in which Rubin asked Molyneux to elaborate on his views that races have different average IQ test results and that these differences are genetic. The report held that Rubin did not challenge Molyneux in any substantial way, concluding, “By letting him speak without providing a legitimate and robust counterargument, Rubin provides a free platform for white supremacist ideology on his channel.”
