Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to John Cardillo and Nick Freitas about "Shark Tank's" Kevin O'Leary explaining to Fox News why there should not have been a bailout of Spirit Airlines which might have not even happened if Elizabeth Warren hadn't prevented it's planned merger with JetBlue Airlines; Rep.Randy Fine revealing that Republicans are waiting for some data on if Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud before proceeding with a push to expel her from congress; Zohran Mamdani facing backlash after Citadel CEO Ken Griffin announced he would be reducing his investment in NYC and doubling down on Miami after Mamdani targeted Griffin with his "tax the rich" stunt and the truth about how the ranks of the NYPD are declining to dangerous levels; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trying to explain to "It's Open with Ilana Glazer" why a billion dollars can't actually be earned and that billionaires like Elon Musk can only exist because the system is rigged; Megyn Kelly going viral over her sudden flip flop on if Islamic culture is compatible with Western Civilization after realizing that Tucker Carlson has been growing his fan base with Muslim audiences; and 'This Week on the Internet' featuring Nick Fuentes, Megyn Kelly, Marco Rubio, the Met Gala, Anne Hathaway, Ilhan Omar; and much more.
