RUBIO DEFENDS THE WEST, VANCE BARS MICROSOFT | LIVE FROM STUDIO 6B

There's a party every weeknight in Studio 6B, and you're invited. Damon Roberts, Rick Delgado, Rick Ammirati, and Vin Butta on the stories moving tonight. Marco Rubio stood at the Pnyx on Oct. 7 with the Parthenon behind him and argued the West was built on ambition, risk, and a civilization worth defending. Athens to America, and why he says that inheritance is slipping. Miranda Devine calls the latest anti-Trump hit the most nonsensical yet: Democrats and outlets treating a Nebraska rally riff on Iranian missiles as an invitation to hit LA and San Diego. She says the clip says the opposite, and the stretch only hurts Dems before Nov. 3. JD Vance says the administration is indefinitely barring Microsoft, Adobe, Infosys, and other firms from new and pending PERM green-card filings, alleging they used the program to swap Americans for cheaper labor. Probes also hit nine universities, including Harvard, Yale, and Stanford. At a Union Square Oct. 7 vigil, Mayor Zohran Mamdani was booed and called a traitor by protesters who marched from City Hall. Reports and photos show Hamas and Hezbollah flags in the crowd. Gov. Hochul called disrupting the vigil despicable. Ex-prosecutor Daniel Wiesenfeld tells the New York Post that AG Letitia James kept a Trump-linked probe alive after investigators found nothing. "What Tish wanted, Tish got." The office has rejected the claim. His account, not a court finding. Oddsmakers, lines, and whatever else breaks before the show ends. Was Trump's Nebraska line a missile warning or an invite to hit California?
