A tragic weekend, a health care showdown, and Democrats caught in their own charts — all in 10 minutes.

In today’s December 16 episode of the Ten Minute Drill, we start with the devastating aftermath of Islamic terror attacks abroad, including the deadly shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia that left 16 innocent people dead — among them an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor, a 10-year-old girl, and a young father of five. We also examine why a Democratic congressional candidate quietly deleted part of his condolences — and what that says about today’s political double standards.

Next, we break down the escalating health care subsidy fight in Washington, as progressives admit they’d rather let ACA subsidies expire than maintain Hyde protections. Who actually receives these subsidies? Why do Democrats struggle to answer basic affordability questions? And how their own charts keep exposing the real drivers of rising costs.

We also dive into an unexpected culture war: Bernie Sanders, RFK Jr., and the push to ban pharmaceutical ads — and why that could spell trouble for iconic Christmas commercials that have long been part of American holiday tradition.
