Summary

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks about Donald Trump shocking the press with his brutally honest answer about the end of the ceasefire with Iran and whether there is any hope that the Iran War will end soon; Secretary General of NATO Mark Rutte admitting that Trump was right about NATO and why the new version of NATO will be even stronger; Chamath Palihapitiya explaining to Axios' Dan Primack how the H-1B visa system has been corrupted and is harming the U.S.; Dan Bongino telling Fox News' Laura Ingraham how the Democratic Party never really cared about Graham Platner's controversies since they were simply exploiting him to consolidate power; "The View's" Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin getting into an argument over their past support of Graham Platner before the assault accusations from Jenny Racicot; Marjorie Taylor Greene's tense exchange with "The View's" Sunny Hostin over Jenny Racicot's decision to only go public with her allegations against Graham Platner once he was running for office; Scott Jennings reminding CNN's Kasie Hunt and Lulu Garcia-Navarro that Democrats who are trying to push Graham Platner out of the race are actually subverting democracy and the will of the voters of Maine; and much more.
