Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Ben Ferguson and Will Chamberlain about Zohran Mamdani's conversation with Brian Tyler Cohen where he proved how little he understood about economics by suggesting that the defense budget spending on the Iran War should have been used to fund student loan forgiveness instead; JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon correcting Axios host Jim VandeHei over Iran being a serious threat to the United States and his incorrect assumption that the Iran War will benefit China; Scott Jennings getting into a heated back and forth with CNN's Abby Phillip over NATO allies like Spain's Pedro Sanchéz refusing to let the United States use its military bases or Spanish airspace to fight the Iran War; Victor Davis Hanson sharing his story of his encounter with Christine "Fang Fang" Fang, the Chinese spy that seduced Democrat Eric Swalwell; NASA's Artemis 2 launch and why we should be excited for America's first trip near the moon in 53 years: and much more.
