Summary

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including California Governor Gavin Newsom having a tense exchange with reporters while refusing to explain why he has not released his tax returns since 2020 while dismissing federal investigations involving his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, former chief of staff Dana Williamson, and others in his orbit as a politically motivated witch hunt; and Microsoft laying off 1,600 XBOX employees as part of broader company-wide cuts after receiving approval for thousands of H-1B visas, reigniting the debate over foreign workers, American jobs, immigration policy, and Vice President JD Vance's crackdown on alleged H-1B visa fraud; and much more.
