Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general advancing through the Senate Judiciary Committee after he eliminated a controversial $1.8 billion Justice Department "Anti-Weaponization Fund" to appease Republicans John Cornyn and Thom Tillis; Washington Governor Jay Inslee blaming climate change for devastating Spokane-area wildfires before authorities arrested Aaron Farinacci, a convicted killer allegedly found near the ignition point with waterproof matches and a butane lighter, for first-degree arson; and University of Sussex psychologist Gillian Sandstrom explaining how small talk with strangers can improve mental health, strengthen social trust, and combat growing isolation; and much more. #RubinReport #ToddBlanche #attorneygeneral #wildfire #smalltalk #daverubin
