Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks about Dan Bongino announcing that he will be leaving the FBI and the clues he's dropped for the possible reason why; Donald Trump's first public statement on Bongino leaving the FBI; CNN's Wolf Blitzer confronting Ilhan Omar for lying about her son being pulled over by ICE agents; Ilhan Omar getting brutally fact checked about her claims of the amount of doctors in America that are Somali-American; NewsNation's Leland Vittert pushing back on Debbie Wasserman Schultz trying to ignore the recent antisemitic attacks perpetrated by radical islamists; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's childish reaction to a poll saying that she could defeat JD Vance in the 2028 election; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez having her attempt to convince her followers that Elon Musk is actually not that bright backfire in her face; Nancy Mace's brutal speech exposing Democrats for their dangerous support of gender affirming care for minors; and much more. Dave also hosts a special "ask me anything" question-and-answer session on a wide range of topics, answering questions from the Rubin Report Locals community.
