Summary

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including how Gavin Newsom immediately regretted appearing on "real Time with Bill Maher" after Maher unexpectedly challenged Newsom over California's rising gas prices, housing crisis, and massive high-speed rail costs; the fallout after Spirit Airlines suddenly shutting down and what the Trump administration is doing to handle stranded passengers and job losses; and why Marco Rubio's trip to Europe and the Vatican signals growing tensions between the U.S., NATO allies, and Pope Leo XIV; and much more.
