YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including Vice President JD Vance revisiting his infamous “childless cat ladies” comment in his new memoir Communion, admitting it was “one of the dumbest things” he’s ever said while defending his broader concerns about declining birth rates, family formation, marriage, and America’s increasingly anti-child culture; reactions from figures like Taylor Swift, Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who became part of the controversy; and new polling analyzed by CNN’s Harry Enten suggesting Democrats may not be headed for the massive 2026 midterm wave many political observers expected, as surveys from NBC News, Marquette Law School, and Ipsos show Republicans remaining surprisingly competitive, and much more.
