## Resource

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including President Donald Trump arriving at the NATO Summit in Turkey while criticizing allies including Spain, the UK, Italy, and Germany for refusing to fully support U.S. strikes on Iran and renewing his push for higher NATO defense spending; a partial structural collapse at a Midtown Manhattan high-rise under renovation that forced evacuations after support beams buckled and multiple floors sagged; and federal agents dismantling the violent Bishnoi gang in sweeping raids across California and beyond, seizing drugs, firearms, and arresting dozens of suspects tied to international organized crime; and much more.
