## Resource

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including more than a million New York Knicks fans flooding Manhattan for the franchise's first NBA championship parade in 53 years as Knicks owner James Dolan takes a pointed shot at New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during the celebration; and Joe Rogan alleging that powerful political figures, PACs, advocacy groups, and even former presidents pressured Spotify to remove "The Joe Rogan Experience" during the COVID-19 era over claims of vaccine misinformation, reigniting debates over censorship, free speech, Big Tech, and the role of political influence in controlling public discourse, and much more.
