Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including President Trump unloading on newly nominated Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, calling him a "low-level thug" while reaffirming his support for Senator Susan Collins as Republicans prepare to make Platner's Nazi tattoo controversy, personal scandals, and past conduct a central issue in the race; Pete Hegseth issuing a stark warning to Cuba after reports that Havana has acquired hundreds of military drones from Russia and Iran capable of threatening American territory and Guantanamo Bay; and the Trump administration defending World Cup visa restrictions after several Iranian officials, journalists, referees, and other visitors were denied entry over national security, terrorism, and public health concerns, and much more.
