On today’s January 27 episode of The 10 Minute Drill, we break down the escalating political and law enforcement showdown in Minnesota, the federal response to the Alex Pretti shooting, and what world leaders at Davos are really signaling about regulation, climate policy, and global growth. We start with the latest on the Alex Pretti case, where federal agents’ body camera footage from multiple angles is under review following a deadly encounter. What led to the use of force, what questions remain unanswered, and how the incident is being used in the broader political fight. Next, we turn to Tom Homan’s move to Minnesota, where he is managing ICE operations and coordinating enforcement and investigations into major fraud allegations. We examine the growing tension between state leaders, city officials, and federal authorities over sanctuary policies and ICE detainers—and what that means for public safety. We also explore the rise of organized anti-ICE resistance, including reports of student walkouts, coordinated protests, license plate tracking, and rapid-response activist networks, and what this evolving movement means for law enforcement and political strategy. With a potential government shutdown looming, we break down what a funding lapse would actually impact—from TSA and FEMA to broader homeland security operations—and why ICE remains at the center of the standoff. Finally, we wrap with two key takeaways from Davos, including Europe’s struggle with over-regulation and shifting elite attitudes toward climate policy, ESG investing, and global economic risk.

Trump goes global at Davos as concerns grow over China’s expanding influence and a deepening fraud scandal in Minnesota. In today’s 10 Minute Drill, we break down President Trump’s remarks at the World Economic Forum, his criticism of Europe’s tech, energy, and free speech policies, and the broader geopolitical risks of pushing Western allies closer to Beijing. We examine the pros and cons of Trump’s international strategy — including national security concerns tied to reports of Chinese military pilots training in the United States. Back at home, a federal investigation rocks Minnesota politics. Subpoenas are reportedly served on top state and city officials as lawmakers hear testimony about widespread fraud in taxpayer-funded programs — and the real human cost when vulnerable Americans are left without care. We also take a closer look at the nonprofit and activist economy in Minnesota, spotlighting millions flowing through anti-poverty organizations, and wrap with a deep dive into the insurance industry, where critics say rising premiums and claim denials are colliding with aggressive ESG, DEI, and “woke” corporate priorities. Topics include: -Trump at Davos and Europe’s tech, energy, and speech policies-The “China factor” and U.S. national security risks-Leaked EU documents and trade policy tensions-Minnesota subpoenas, fraud allegations, and nonprofit funding-The impact of “woke” insurance on premiums and patient care

In the January 21 episode of The 10 Minute Drill, we break down a fast-moving political landscape as President Trump arrives in Davos and questions grow about whether global priorities are overshadowing key domestic and midterm political risks. We start with Trump’s one-year anniversary press conference, his latest Truth Social spree, and expected meetings on Greenland, Russia, Ukraine, NATO, and global trade. Then we dive into new Wall Street Journal polling showing Democrats with a narrow edge on “caring about the middle class” and “people like you,” and why that could spell trouble for Republicans if the focus doesn’t return to affordability and everyday economic issues. The episode also covers the Minnesota ICE fallout, including Don Lemon’s comments on church protests, a DOJ review, Keith Ellison’s response, and growing tensions around immigration enforcement. We examine allegations of “dark money” networks tied to activist groups, clergy-led protests, and political pressure campaigns targeting major retailers. In Virginia, we look at Abby Spanberger’s policy direction, environmental regulations, criminal justice proposals, and sanctuary-style policies — and what critics say it means for the state’s future. Finally, we break down new reporting on who is actually being deported and why Democrats continue to struggle to clearly answer questions around women’s sports and cultural issues. Fast, focused, and no-nonsense — this is your 10-minute briefing on the stories shaping politics and the midterm battlefield.

On the January 15 episode of The 10 Minute Drill, we cut through the noise on the latest Minneapolis ICE controversy and ask a simple question: what if this actually is normal? As politicians, activists, and media figures insist immigration enforcement has somehow become unprecedented, we revisit the facts — including Obama-era ICE operations and a 2016 CNN ride-along — to show what’s really changed and what hasn’t. Meanwhile, protesters are now physically interfering with arrests, even of violent criminals, as a well-funded outrage machine keeps the pressure on. We also break down rising tensions with Iran, as President Trump’s rhetoric sharpens and U.S. personnel reposition in the region, signaling this is more than just talk. Plus: Trump’s unexpected Greenland gambit and why it matters geopolitically Rubio and Vance meetings with Greenland and Danish officials Progressive Democrats openly urging a pivot to economic populism ahead of the midterms Chuck Schumer’s risky 2026 Senate map strategy — and where it could collapse Why Republicans should keep an eye on Michigan and Georgia And California’s latest pension scheme: a six-figure DEI job influencing retirement investments, with no finance background required Fast, focused, and unfiltered — this is The 10 Minute Drill.

President Trump heads to Detroit on his affordability tour as fresh inflation data fuels optimism about the economy and markets heading into 2026. On this special Wednesday, January 14 episode of the 10 Minute Drill, we break down a massive day in politics, law, and economics. We cover Minnesota and Illinois filing lawsuits against ICE, with Attorney General Keith Ellison calling federal enforcement a “federal invasion.” The states argue ICE is violating the First and Tenth Amendments, but critics point out the lawsuits collide directly with sanctuary policies—and even CNN appears skeptical of the legal case. It’s also a huge day at the Supreme Court, as justices hear landmark cases from Idaho and West Virginia on transgender athletes and women’s sports—decisions that could impact nearly two dozen states. Riley Gaines weighs in, Justice Kagan calls Idaho’s law protecting women’s sports “legitimate,” and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson faces renewed scrutiny during oral arguments. Plus, California Democrats float a billionaire wealth tax, sparking reports that as much as $1 trillion in wealth has already fled the state amid fears of retroactive taxation. We break down what this means for state revenues, spending, and fraud. We also look at the Treasury Department flagging Minnesota for widespread fraud, with estimates suggesting 10% of the state budget is being lost, and why climate and clean-tech investment has dropped nearly 50% since 2021 as the green investment boom loses steam.

In today’s episode of 10 Minute Drill, we break down a volatile mix of crime, corruption, and political spin—starting in Minneapolis, where new video of an ICE-related shooting raises serious questions about public safety, leadership, and why Minnesota Democrats appear more interested in chaos than accountability. We dive into a House hearing on massive Minnesota fraud, where lawmakers warn that the scandal may only be “the tip of the iceberg.” Testimony reveals political incentives to ignore widespread abuse of taxpayer-funded programs, with state officials accusing the Walz administration and Democrats of blocking investigations and shutting down internal controls. Attorney General Keith Ellison responds by dismissing the scandal as political and claiming ignorance of key investigations—while simultaneously boasting about fraud prosecutions. We examine whether Ellison was deliberately sidelined, willfully blind, or simply distracted by partisan pursuits. Also in this episode: New polling shows rising support for Donald Trump taking action against Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro What the data reveals about Trump’s growing midterm momentum Why Democrats are heading into messy, destabilizing primary battles across the country The anniversary of California’s devastating wildfires—and the unanswered question: debris removal may be complete, but where is the rebuilding? Population flight trends as California, Illinois, and New York continue to lead the nation in outbound migration 10 Minute Drill delivers fast, focused analysis on the political stories shaping the country—without the media filter.

It’s January 6th, 2026, lock in for an action-packed episode of 10 Minute Drill!  10 Minute Drill hits a major milestone — our 100th episode!  Thanks to our audience, we’ve reached 58,000 subscribers and an audio audience that places us in the top 3% of podcasts. We couldn’t have done it without you. To mark the occasion, we break down one of the biggest geopolitical and political stories of the moment: Venezuela, the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, and the stunning display of American military competence — followed by a wave of Democratic contradictions. We walk through how prominent Democrats who once warned about Maduro as a national security threat are now dismissing the issue entirely, attacking the operation, and even framing it as an “illegal act of war.” From Chris Murphy to Chuck Schumer to Chris Van Hollen, the messaging whiplash is impossible to ignore. We also expose the American socialist ecosystem rushing to Maduro’s defense — coordinated protests, radical slogans, CCP-aligned funding networks, and organizations openly celebrating socialism while defending a totalitarian regime. Next, we turn to Zohran’s swearing-in, revisiting his record of praising collectivism, calling for the seizure of private property, and attacking home ownership — all while positioning himself as a moral authority. Finally, we break down the latest out of Minnesota, with Tim Walz stepping aside, what that means for the state, and why all eyes now turn to Keith Ellison amid ongoing fraud revelations. If Democrats truly cared about poor people and access to care, they would champion oversight — not attack those who expose corruption. 100 episodes in — and we’re just getting started.

President Trump’s Christmas phone calls with kids — including jokes about tracking Santa — open a packed December 30 episode of The 10 Minute Drill, before the conversation turns serious with fresh economic data, foreign policy realities, and massive government failures at home. We break down the latest GDP report showing continued economic strength, even as Democrats and much of the media insist Americans are stuck in an “affordability crisis.” The show then turns overseas, where Trump discusses his meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his push to end the killing — despite Russia’s continued bombing of Kyiv and Vladimir Putin showing little interest in peace. Back in Washington, the Biden administration’s EV charging plan collides with reality. After billions in taxpayer spending and promises of 500,000 charging stations by 2030, only 384 chargers have been built so far — a failure even the Washington Post editorial board has acknowledged. In Minnesota, a massive fraud scandal continues to unravel. We examine the “Feeding Our Future” case, troubling audio involving Attorney General Keith Ellison, political contributions that followed government intervention, and growing scrutiny of key Democratic figures including Tim Walz, Peggy Flanagan, and Ilhan Omar as federal authorities surge FBI resources to dismantle fraud schemes. California then takes center stage, as a new state audit reveals more than $70 billion in taxpayer money lost to homelessness programs, SNAP fraud, and a high-speed rail project where not a single track has been laid. We close with the 2026 political narratives to watch — Democratic infighting, shifting economic messaging, the fight over affordability, growing energy backlash, and widening divisions between the U.S. and Europe.

🎄 Christmas Special – December 23 🎄 On this holiday edition of The 10 Minute Drill, we break down the biggest political stories of the week — plus a little Christmas cheer to close things out. We start with some long-overdue good news on inflation, as new data shows the best inflation numbers in five years, despite the media continuing to push an “affordability crisis” narrative. Even CNN is forced to admit it’s “finally some good news” on the top economic issue for voters. Next, we dig into reporting from The New York Times revealing that Democrats are quietly shelving their 2024 election autopsy, convinced they’re winning again and don’t need to revisit past mistakes. That decision comes as congressional Democrats hit an all-time low net approval of -55, hemorrhaging support with independents and failing to regain momentum on the generic ballot. At the same time, Democrats are doubling down on the same radical positions that hurt them in 2024: 207 House Democrats oppose efforts to prevent sex-change treatments for minors Gavin Newsom says the quiet part out loud on “trans kids” Party leaders appear determined to learn no lessons at all We then turn to Kamala Harris, who is signaling a possible 2028 White House run with new branding and rhetoric — while still facing serious unanswered questions about the $1.5 billion spent in just 15 weeks during the 2024 campaign and lucrative payouts to top campaign insiders. We also provide a Minnesota fraud update, as new reporting suggests millions in fraudulent spending, with Medicaid costs ballooning into the tens of billions since 2018 — raising concerns about oversight, accountability, and who ultimately pays the price. Finally, we wrap up the Christmas Special with some fun: 🎬 Christmas movie recommendations 🎵 Favorite Christmas albums 🎄 A critical Christmas tradition 🍪 Best Christmas treats Thanks for listening all year — and Merry Christmas from The 10 Minute Drill.

President Trump outlines 11 months of accomplishments, from securing the border and killing narcoterrorists to peace in the Middle East—and we take time to mark the wins that dominated American concerns just a year ago. We then dig into serious unanswered questions at Brown University following a campus shooting: delayed clarity from leadership, limited and fuzzy images released to the public, and why authorities won’t address what multiple reports say the shooter yelled. Transparency matters—especially in moments like this. Next, we break down the growing NVIDIA–China controversy and the national security risks of selling advanced AI chips to companies linked to the CCP and PLA. Is the administration repeating past China policy mistakes, and could this become a turning point in the AI arms race? Also in today’s episode: • Chinese billionaires using U.S. surrogacy to build massive families and test citizenship laws • Amanda Seyfried calling socialism “gorgeous”—and why Americans still misunderstand what socialism actually means • Eric Swalwell’s attendance record, now trailing even a late member of Congress, plus his celebrity donor circuit and media tour priorities Fast, focused, and unapologetically direct—this is the December 18 episode of The 10 Minute Drill.

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. Plus: Jasmine Crockett’s Senate campaign runs headfirst into her own past remarks about farmers Democrats accidentally highlight their role in driving up prices Tim Walz, accountability, and yet another pivot to “white men”

Donald Trump takes his affordability message to Pennsylvania, Jasmine Crockett gets “astro-turfed” into a Senate run, and the EU’s escalating tech war on America is now spreading into South America. Plus, Congress races to act on health care, and the Woke Lightning Round delivers new hits from Randi Weingarten, Justice Jackson, the Chamber of Commerce, and Kamala Harris. On today’s episode: • Trump in PA — A sharper affordability pitch and why the message is resonating. • Jazzy Gets Tricked — New reporting reveals how national Republicans helped manufacture Crockett’s polling surge and pushed her into the Senate race. • Health Care Moves Fast — Both chambers in Congress look for a path forward on subsidies, reforms, and a growing push for price transparency. • EU Battle Goes Global — Europe fines X €120M while deepening ties with China — and now Latin America is adopting EU-style regulations targeting U.S. tech. • Woke Lightning Round — Randi Weingarten’s COVID amnesia, Justice Jackson’s expert-power worldview, the Chamber of Commerce’s leftward lurch, and Kamala Harris’s new Capitol bust. The 10 Minute Drill breaks down the biggest stories in politics, policy, and culture — fast, sharp, and every Tuesday and Thursday.

In this December 10 Special Edition of the 10 Minute Drill, we break down a jam-packed set of political and global stories shaping the week. Schumer’s Texas Headache: Rep. Jasmine Crockett launches a new ad and makes the wild claim that she’s “revoking all permissions” — something you simply can’t declare. She also dismisses the need for Trump voters, complicating Democrats’ strategy in a rapidly shifting Texas landscape. Greenpeace Appeals to Europe: After a North Dakota jury hit Greenpeace with a massive judgment over its campaign against the Dakota Access Pipeline, the group is now asking a Dutch court to overturn an American verdict. Instead of taking their ball and going home, they’re taking it to Europe and asking foreign judges to intervene in U.S. law. Interview: OH Skinner on Climate Lawfare: OH Skinner joins the show to unpack the growing wave of climate lawsuits pushed by blue states and cities — cases designed to impose policies that can’t win at the ballot box. We cover the latest developments in the Boulder and Louisiana cases and discuss the continued role of figures like Keith Ellison in driving this legal strategy. Subscribe for quick, sharp analysis every weekday on the 10 Minute Drill.

In today’s December 9th episode of The 10 Minute Drill, we break down the biggest political battles shaping the week — from the affordability debate to a major Supreme Court showdown. On the docket today: • Trump takes on the affordability crisis Trump brings his affordability message on the road, as Republicans outline three steps to regain voter trust: clarifying the economic mess they inherited, highlighting early wins, and showing creativity on new policy ideas — including price transparency. • The healthcare squabble intensifies A GAO report reveals 6.4 million improper Obamacare enrollments costing taxpayers $27 billion, while Democrats push for a clean extension of subsidies. Republicans float a compromise with income caps as new reporting shows Obamacare users may soon pay more for plans that cover less. • Minnesota latest: Keith Ellison & Ilhan Omar From Ellison saying he’d “do nothing differently,” to Ilhan Omar casting herself as the victim, the Minnesota fraud scandal — involving more than $1 billion in welfare abuse — continues to expand. Kim Strassel calls it a case study in a broken welfare state and failed political accountability. • Supreme Court preview A major week at SCOTUS with Trump v. Slaughter—challenging the power of independent agencies—plus FEC v. NRSC and new birthright citizenship arguments. Justice Gorsuch’s questioning signals big constitutional stakes for the administrative state. • Ruben Gallego’s “Glamour Report” The Arizona senator releases an energy plan filled with full-page glamour shots while blaming Republicans for rising utility bills. We walk through the real story: solar overinvestment, subsidy dependence, and Gallego’s close ties to alternative energy donors.

Tennessee Special Election, Affordability Offensive, Minnesota Fraud Fallout, and “Gender-Neutral” Climate Change On today’s episode of the 10 Minute Drill, we break down a revealing night in Tennessee, why affordability must become the GOP’s defining issue, new questions for Keith Ellison in the Minnesota fraud scandal, and the latest example of the left turning climate change into identity politics. In this episode: • Tennessee Special Election: Matt Van Epps wins by 9 in a race Republicans had to have—strong candidate, strong rural turnout, but a closer-than-expected margin that should serve as a midterm warning. • Affordability Crisis: Housing, transportation, food, utilities, healthcare—Americans are getting crushed, and Democrats have no plan beyond pandemic-era subsidies for the wealthy. GOP solutions are emerging: deregulation, lower energy costs, transparency, and competition. • Minnesota Fraud Scandal: New reporting shows red flags were ignored. Keith Ellison met with individuals later arrested in the Feeding Our Future scheme, and leaders are demanding answers. • First Choice: Justice Thomas exposes the shaky legal pretext behind New Jersey’s targeting of a pro-life pregnancy center. • Climate Change Goes Identity Politics: The UN declares climate change “not gender neutral,” tying it to gender-based violence. We break down what’s really happening.
