## Resource

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Ben Ferguson and Link Lauren about the backlash over Zohran Mamdani's bizarre viral World Cup viewing party at Rikers Island prison and why it may be a sneak peek of his prison reform agenda and his plans to close Rikers; Bill Maher putting NPR's Steve Inskeep in his place with his brutally honest take on the self-righteous elitism of liberals and Democrats; CNN's Abby Phillip having to break up an argument over illegal immigrants being deported by ICE between "The View's" Ana Navarro and Lydia Moynihan; Border Czar Tom Homan telling Fox News' Laura Ingraham why he fears that ICE deportations will get far more violent and deadly as long as Democratic rhetoric keeps encouraging people to fight back and resist ICE raids; Palantir CEO Alex Karp telling The Free Press' Bari Weiss how progressives used to be against illegal immigration because it lowered the wages of the poor and lower middle class, and how Democrats reversing course on this major issue may be the death of their party; gay cruise attendees being surprised when the Muslim country of Turkey refused to let them dock at its port; and much more.
