Does Dave Rubin not have the best online interview show regarding politics?

I really like Dave Rubin. The guy is well spoken, calm, collected, and better than his former colleagues at the Young Turks. The guy has a special gift for getting down to the bottom of how people from all ends of the political spectrum speak.
But what I like the most about him is his optimism. That's really rare for someone in his environment. Almost everyone in media is a cynical a-hole (which I'm guilty of myself), but he manages to rise above it. Any counterpoint the guy makes is filled with an optimistic tone. That's why he's great. He's very adaptable, and while I like Cenk, his 3 hour interview with Sam Harris makes him look like an asshat in comparison, which in a recent Joe Rogan podcast led to Dave leaving them.
Here's Rubin interviewing Lauren Southern last week for anyone interested: LINK

How can anyone like Cenk? He's a major league a-hole

He's an a-hole, but I do think he means well and wants to be professional. A week before the election, he did a major hit piece on the Clinton Foundation that showed how utterly corrupt they were. If he was a true hack like most the people at CNN, he wouldn't have done it. I think he tries to be honest at least.
I have way more respect for Cenk than I do for Don Lemon or Wolf Blitzer.

I have more respect for herpes than Wolf or Lemon.
I give Cenk credit for calling out the Clinton's, but he's a jerk.

I agree, but I think Cenk's mentality is that people deserve to know the truth, whether it benefits him personally or not. That really doesn't exist on the MSM anymore.
They're more trying to push a propaganda than the truth. I don't think Cenk would say anything as outrageous that not going through them for Wikileaks is literally illegal like CNN did, nor would he cut the feed from someone saying something he disagrees with.

I will say I like Cenk more than Ana Kasparian

Oh yeah, agreed, but she's fine as frick. Ana is a full fledged SJW so obviously not marriage material.

Calm and collected? Lookup the Larry Elder interview he did. Rubin was unprepared and highly uncomfortable after Elder started in on him.

Haven't seen that one, but he tends to be that. I'll give him a mulligan, because he tends to be such with people he disagrees with.
