Summary

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks about White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt telling Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany how Barack Obama distorted the facts behind the ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel; and the “Real Time with Bill Maher” crowd giving a loud approval for Bill Maher’s condemning of MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd for his implying that Charlie Kirk was somehow partially responsible for his death. Dave also talks to Rumble CEO and founder Chris Pavlovski about Charlie Kirk’s vital role as an early investor in Rumble, how Charlie helped pick their new headquarters, and Chris’s take on what the media gets wrong about the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, among other topics. Dave also does a special “ask me anything” question-and-answer session on a wide-ranging host of topics, answering questions from the Rubin Report Locals community.
