Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Josh Hammer and Newsmax's Ed Henry about NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani getting more desperate in his attempts to deal with New York City's budget crisis as he held a press conference where he had the appearance of begging Governor Kathy Hochul for more money from New York state; Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson publicly cheering on capital flight as she appears to celebrate millionaires leaving Seattle after Washington state passed its millionaire tax; reality TV star of "The Hills" Spencer Pratt shocks Los Angeles voters with his attention-getting ad for mayor showcasing how Democratic politicians like Karen Bass are out of touch with how unlivable LA has become; Hakeem Jeffries having a meltdown on Jen Psaki's MSNOW show over Clarence Thomas and the conservative Supreme Court justices' ruling on the Voting Rights Act, which could alter all future elections in favor of Republicans; Fox News' Jesse Watters getting Sage Steele to expose the hypocrisy of Disney's executives in how they treat the free speech of employees like Jimmy Kimmel, who makes jokes about the death of Donald Trump, compared to employees who spoke out against the vaccine mandates during the COVID pandemic; FCC Chairman Brendan Carr announcing that the FCC is looking into the workplace discrimination practices of Disney which might have broken federal law; and much more.
