Press Stunned by Rubio's Brutally Honest Answer About Russian Plague Rumor
Summary
Dave Rubin hosts James Lindsay and Jeffrey Tucker to discuss a potential plague leak in Russia, urging calm while warning against political exploitation. The trio analyzes Tucker Carlson’s controversial interview with Jacob Rees-Mogg, arguing that his revisionist views on WWII reflect a dangerous right-wing collectivist ideology. They also address civil unrest in France and the shift toward right-wing leadership in South America, attributing the latter to the reduction of USAID funding.
