  • Iran tests Trump and the MAGA coalition; Meet the new Dem Resistance Heroes

    June 19 | Iran, TikTok, Hospital Corruption, SCOTUS Trans Ruling & the Left’s New Resistance Stunts

    In today’s episode of the 10 Minute Drill:

    🇮🇷 Trump's Iran Policy Gets a Boost As tensions rise between Israel and Iran, new polling shows overwhelming public support for President Trump’s position: Iran must never be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. We break down the numbers and Trump’s vow to keep all options on the table.

    📲 TikTok Ban Deadline Arrives — and the CCP’s Influence Campaign The Supreme Court has upheld Congress’s ban on TikTok, and not a moment too soon. We examine how TikTok has become a digital battlefield:

    • Helping protesters thwart ICE operations

    • Amplifying anti-Trump misinformation

    • Spreading CCP-friendly narratives

    • Promoting Chinese e-commerce in U.S. markets And we explain how Trump can end the chaos — by simply enforcing the law.

    🏥 Consumer Alert: Hospitals Pushing Politics Consumers Research has exposed five major nonprofit hospital systems — including Cleveland Clinic, Vanderbilt, and Johns Hopkins — for using taxpayer breaks to promote radical political causes. From race-based hiring to trans surgeries on minors, the report is a wake-up call. Plus: the 340B program’s shocking role in funding these efforts.

    ⚖️ BREAKING: Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee’s Trans Ban A 6-3 SCOTUS decision confirms: states can protect minors from irreversible gender procedures. Justice Clarence Thomas delivers a blistering rebuke of politicized “experts,” and even the Washington Post poll shows the public strongly agrees with the ruling.

    📬 Fan Mail: Medicaid and Accountability One listener asks: “If Medicaid enrollees are just sitting home playing video games, why not remove them instead of slashing care for the truly needy?”

    🎭 Resistance Theater: Padilla, AOC, Brad Lander & Hochul Sen. Alex Padilla gets arrested trying to confront HHS Secretary Kristi Noem — in what looks like a staged spectacle with a personal camera crew. NYC Comptroller Brad Lander tries to block ICE and is cheered by Gov. Hochul. Is this the Left’s new political playbook?

  • The War in Israel; Medicaid Gamers; Meet the Oligarchs funding left-wing protests against Democracy

    On the June 17 episode of the 10 Minute Drill, we deliver today’s most urgent political stories — fast, sharp, and without spin.

    🎯 Here’s what you’ll hear in 10 minutes or less:

    📍 TRUMP AT THE G7 As President Trump travels to Canada for the G7, he reaffirms America’s non-involvement in Israel’s war effort — while making clear Iran passed on opportunities for diplomacy.

    📍 “NO KINGS” PROTESTS SWEEP CITIES Over the weekend, organized protests under the banner “No Kings” revealed the fingerprints of Democrat dark money, unions, and political operatives. Randi Weingarten is out at the DNC — yes, she had a senior role. Watch the clips:

    📍 CLIMATE VICTIMS — THE NEXT LEFT-WING FRONT The same strategists behind “Moms Demand Action” are now marketing “Extreme Weather Survivors,” turning wildfire victims into political props to target energy producers. Get the backstory:

    In today’s episode of The 10 Minute Drill, we’re diving into the chaos unfolding across California and the explosive new data showing just how much Americans support President Trump’s response.

    We also unpack:

    • President Trump’s inflation win with encouraging CPI numbers and a rising approval rating

    • A major new trade deal with China

    • A bombshell report exposing Energy Foundation China and its influence over U.S. energy and climate politics

    • The rise of foreign-funded dark money in American elections, including Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, Marc Elias’s lawsuits, and liberal attempts to undermine election integrity

    🔥 From California’s leadership failures to China’s infiltration of U.S. policy, this episode cuts through the noise and delivers sharp, fact-driven analysis in under 10 minutes.

  • Dems fan flames in LA immigration protests, Abrego returns, Dems stay in disarray

    On today’s episode of the 10 Minute Drill, we break down the most explosive political stories shaking the country right now:

    🔥 LA ERUPTS: As ICE targets the “worst of the worst” criminal illegal immigrants—murderers, rapists, and abusers—Democrat leaders in California label the operations a “dangerous escalation.” Riots break out across Los Angeles while officials like Karen Bass, Maxine Waters, and Alex Padilla encourage protests and downplay the violence. We expose the shocking double standard in real time with viral footage and quotes.

    💀 ABREGO GARCIA RETURNS: The MS-13-connected illegal immigrant once deported and defended by the left is back—and now facing human trafficking charges, plus disturbing allegations involving child pornography and murder.

    🎮 MEDICAID GAMERS: A new study shows able-bodied adults on Medicaid are spending over 120 hours a month playing video games, all while lawmakers debate whether asking for 80 hours of work, school, or community service is too much. We share the story of one father whose disabled son is being forced to compete for resources with grown men glued to their consoles.

    🧢 DNC MELTDOWN: Leaked audio reveals the DNC Chair is ready to walk away from his job, sparking more questions about Democrat leadership heading into 2024. Is the party collapsing under its own messaging?

    ⛵️ GRETA’S YACHT FAIL: Greta Thunberg and her activist crew tried to sail aid to Gaza—only to be intercepted by the IDF, fed, and turned back. Another climate PR stunt meets reality.
