  • Trump’s call: the decades of conflict that led to the US bombing Iran, and what comes next

    June 24, 2025:  U.S. Strikes Iran’s Nuclear Facilities | BBB Update | Supreme Court & Union Showdowns

    In this urgent episode of The 10 Minute Drill, we break down the U.S. military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities—what just happened, how we got here, and what the political and military fallout looks like.

    Iran responded with missile attacks on U.S. bases, including one in Qatar, escalating tensions to their highest point in years. We walk through the 50-year backstory: from the 1979 hostage crisis, to Hezbollah proxy attacks, to the drone strike that killed three Americans just last year.

    📈 Polling shows a bipartisan consensus:

    • 72% of Americans support military action to stop a nuclear Iran

    • 73% say Iran cannot be trusted diplomatically

    We also explore the Democratic backlash, including new calls from AOC and Rep. Sean Casten to impeach President Trump over the strike.

    Then we shift to the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB):

    • How it's protecting Medicaid from dark money-backed attacks

    • The outrageous lies from the “Unrig the Economy” campaign

    • New provisions from Sen. Joni Ernst to ban taxpayer-funded union protest time

    🎙️ Plus:

    • Hill event with Mary Katharine Ham

    • Justice Clarence Thomas on why we no longer trust “the experts”
