    Meet the socialist who said America deserved 9/11 - and beat a 15-term incumbent to win a house seat

    On today's 10 Minute Drill, we're covering the biggest stories of the day — in just over 10 minutes! Melat Kiros just defeated Diana DeGette — a 15-term incumbent with a 98% progressive voting score — in the latest DSA primary upset in Denver. Kiros has called for defunding ICE, an immediate pathway for every undocumented immigrant, and Medicare for All. She also said America deserved 9/11. Democrats are calling it a wake-up call. It's more than that. The DSA isn't hiding the playbook anymore. Their own materials say they're using the Democratic Party as "a ballot-access vehicle, not because we share its goals." AOC is defending the most unhinged beliefs of socialist candidates. Kamala Harris is quietly meeting with pro-Palestinian activists. Jamie Harrison is begging people to be on the team. Pass the popcorn. Graham Platner spent months bashing Democrat wine cave fundraisers. Now his campaign is being swamped by outside GOP spending and is calling for reinforcements from the very establishment he attacked. The DSCC is opening a joint fundraising committee with him. A new California gas tax takes effect just ahead of the Fourth of July — up to 63 cents per gallon, with 42 cents going to environmental fees. California gas already averages $5.41 — a dollar sixty above the national average. Happy Independence Day from Sacramento. Every World Cup country has universal healthcare except America — or so the argument goes. In the UK, roughly 79,000 people were removed from healthcare waiting lists last year because they died before receiving care. In Canada, the average wait to see a specialist is nearly seven months and 23,746 people died waiting for surgeries or diagnostic scans. Tell us more about that model. Ro Khanna says he has a moral duty to fight the ultra-rich who hoard wealth. He also has a 4-story indoor elevator, a wife with a $190,000 Range Rover, and two children under 10 who own three private golf courses in Ohio that paid them up to $2 million last year. The class warrior life is apparently very good. All of it in just over 10 Minutes.

    SCOTUS’ most consequential decision; Europe is losing the war against AC

    On today's 10 Minute Drill, we're covering the biggest stories of the day ⚖️ SUPREME COURT: TRANS ATHLETES & TITLE IX The Supreme Court rules 6-3 that states can limit women's and girls' sports teams to biological females. Justice Thomas is clear: "Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls, even if they believe they are." Justice Kavanaugh writes that while the policy may be debated, the legal question under Title IX is settled. West Virginia can do it. A massive win for women's sports. ⚖️ SUPREME COURT: CAMPAIGN SPENDING & THE FIRST AMENDMENT In a 6-3 decision, the Court strikes down federal limits on coordinated spending between political parties and their candidates — ruling the restrictions violate the First Amendment. Justice Kavanaugh makes clear: all parties, Democrat and Republican alike, now compete on a level playing field. Carrie Severino calls it the latest proof that this is a First Amendment Court. 🗽 BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: THE RULING EXPLAINED The Court upholds birthright citizenship — but the justices are far from unified on why. We break down the spectrum of opinions from Kavanaugh's narrowest view to the Thomas/Gorsuch domicile standard to the majority's broadest reading. Thomas dissents sharply, warning the ruling "devalues" American citizenship. Key context: in 2023, 9% of US births were to non-citizen mothers. 🗑️ WASTE WEDNESDAY Healthcare dollars meant for patients are ending up in overseas investments, elite club memberships, art collections, and sexual harassment lawsuit settlements. A new report breaks it all down — and a letter to JD Vance is demanding answers. 🌡️ EUROPE'S HEAT WAVE & THE AC BLAME GAME More than 1,300 heat-related deaths in Europe — and a Paris official is blaming Americans and their air conditioning. The European Commission turned off AC for lower-level staff floors. The same discredited climate group bankrolled by Jeff Bezos is declaring the heat wave impossible without climate change. Europe is quite literally dying rather than cool down — and somehow that's our fault. 🖥️ EUROPE'S WAR ON AMERICAN TECH The EU has designated Amazon and Microsoft cloud services as "gatekeepers" under its Digital Markets Act — another targeted assault on American innovation. While Brussels rakes in billions in fines from US tech companies, European firms like Accenture, DHL, and Spotify enjoy wide open access to American markets. It's time to hold them to the same standard. 🗽 DE BLASIO DEFENDS THE SOCIALIST TAKEOVER Bill de Blasio claims he wasn't aware of the Dan Goldman coffee shop incident — which is hard to believe. Then he turns around and offers another weak defense of the Democrat socialist surge. Meanwhile Graham Platner is getting crushed with non-college voters as Darializa Avila Chevalier builds a 21-point lead among working class voters — despite making the working class the center of his campaign. 0:00 - Intro 1:03 - SCOTUS Decision Day 3:34 - Birthright Citizenship Upheld 6:16 - Waste Wednesday 8:11 - Europe’s War on AC 12:03 - Europe’s Tech Overreach 13:48 - De Blasio the Socialist Defender

    Dems defend increasingly shrinking “big tent;” Will these new Iran talks be different?

    In today's 10 Minute Drill, we're covering the biggest stories of the day Iran & Qatar Talks — New diplomatic talks are underway in Qatar even as tensions escalate inside Iran. What Tuesday's meeting signals about where this conflict heads next. Democratic Party Infighting — Scott Wiener got shouted out of a San Francisco Pride event by anti-Israel activists. Meanwhile, Raphael Warnock and Chris Murphy insist the party is unified and growing. Is it? Jamie Dimon & Your Financial Data — Big banks are pushing to restrict access to your personal financial data and limit electronic purchases. Will the Trump-era CFPB push back on what amounts to a consumer innovation crackdown? Gavin Newsom's California Disaster — A billionaire wealth tax, a $250 billion high-speed rail to nowhere, rampant fraud, and a little-known port regulation quietly adding billions to the cost of goods for every American. Congress could repeal it — but will they? SF Giants Pride Night Fallout — The controversy keeps growing after on-field vow renewals and a beat reporter suggesting "bigoted free agents" shouldn't bother signing with San Francisco. James Talarico Goes Viral — The Texas Democrat tells supporters to embrace every attack label thrown at him. Does the messaging connect with the voters he's trying to win? 0:00 - Intro 0:37 - USA and Iran meet in Qatar 2:02 - Dems and the single issue Socialists 3:45 - Data Rationing memes 4:56 - Gavin’s Bad Ideas 7:28 - Giants Pride Fallout 9:21 - Tofu Talarico

    A far-left Democrat was chased out of a pride event by pro-Palestine activists | Monday Rundown

    Iran bombed tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. America bombed Iran. Iran struck US military installations. We break down the escalation cycle and where this is heading next. San Francisco State Senator Scott Wiener — one of the most radical Democrats in the country — was chased out of a Pride event by pro-Palestine protesters. The socialist wing of the Democrat Party, primarily animated by hatred of Israel, has taken over. Nobody is safe — not even their most reliable allies. Arabella Advisors and a network of dark money groups are bankrolling the anti-Israel energy consuming the Democrat Party. We break down who is funding it and how it flows. The Supreme Court struck down Hawaii's gun law in a major Second Amendment and textualism victory. And on Temporary Protected Status for Haitians — what exactly do Democrats think "temporary" means? The theater of elected legislators getting mad at the Supreme Court for not doing their job for them is something. If any of them remembered Schoolhouse Rock, they'd know they're the only ones with the power to make "temporary" permanent. Looking ahead: California is piling new regulations onto ships in nearby waters — driving energy prices up further. And Gavin Newsom is proposing a national wealth confiscation scheme to win back the socialist wing of his party.

    The new Congresswoman who hates America; Democrat leaders panic about socialism surge

    In the latest episode of The 10 Minute Drill, Darializa Avila Chevalier — founder of Columbia University Apartheid Divest — shocks the Democratic Party by defeating a sitting congressman in NY-13. The twist: she won with white college-educated voters while losing Hispanic voters in a majority-Hispanic district. Hakeem Jeffries is reportedly next. IRAN DEAL UPDATE: NEW POLLING & WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING Trump joins international inspectors on nuclear material as ship traffic resumes through the Strait of Hormuz. A new YouGov poll shows 66% of Americans want the conflict to end — but only 32% support the deal. We explain what that gap actually means. GAVIN'S BIDEN BET IS BLOWING UP Nate Silver’s latest polling shows Gavin Newsom losing ground in the 2028 Democratic primary. His decision to double down on Joe Biden in South Carolina is starting to look like a major miscalculation. THE JPMC TRASH DUMPER IS A DEI EXECUTIVE The woman caught on video dumping a trash can has been identified as a DEI executive at JPMorgan Chase. JAMES TALARICO: THE CHRISTIAN WHO HATES CHRISTIANITY Texas Democrat James Talarico calls himself “a Christian who hates Christianity.” We examine what that actually means for the voters he claims to represent.

    Radical Democrat Socialists seek to conquer Democrat party; Iran negotiations; Team Algae exposed

    The US Treasury has issued a waiver that effectively rolls back 40 years of American oil sanctions against Iran. US refiners can now import Iranian oil and pay in dollars. It's framed as 60 days — but don't be surprised if it becomes permanent. Darializa Avila Chevalier is running in NY-13 against the sitting Democrat — who was the first formerly undocumented immigrant elected to Congress — and she wants to defund the police, allow violent criminals in public housing, and is running explicitly as a Democratic Socialist. If she wins, normal Democrats are finished. Meanwhile Republicans are going on offense on affordability and the Democrat congressional ballot advantage is evaporating. Kamala Harris has discovered that hope is a verb. She also wants to abolish the Electoral College. Reminder: if the National Popular Vote compact had been in place in 2024, Trump would have won 520 electoral votes. Ro Khanna, Cory Booker, and Morris Katz are defending Graham Platner. It is not going well for any of them. World Cup tourists continue discovering America. A French fan experiences air conditioning. An Australian finds free refills at Texas Roadhouse. Costco is involved. And "Team Algae" — the protest movement that feels like an SNL bit — turns out to be organized by a professional BLM activist who previously targeted Supreme Court Justices at their private homes. Not exactly grassroots. Time Stamps:  0:00 - Intro 1:12 - Iranian Oil 2:38 - Dem Socialist in Primaries 6:04 - Kamala Discovers New Word Meanings 7:43 - Graham Platner’s Defenders Still Struggle 10:14 - Europeans Discover AC 11:30 - Team Algae Paid Protesters All of it in just over 10 Minutes.

    Iran Peace Talks KICK OFF, Democrat financial scandal exposed | 10 Minute Drill Monday Rundown

    Iran peace talks are officially underway in Switzerland. JD Vance calls it a monumental opportunity. The media is already hinting at hijinks behind the scenes. We break down what's actually at stake. Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego has been using his campaign account for family travel, Super Bowl tickets, and what sources are describing as a full luxury lifestyle. "He just spends his campaign account like it's his personal slush fund." This is the guy Democrats were counting on in Arizona. Chris Van Hollen is kicking the tires on a 2028 presidential run. The Democrat clown car is already pulling out of the garage — and we check in on where AIPAC fits into the emerging primary landscape. The Senate is moving toward a final vote on critical crypto legislation. The Clarity Act matters, and if you have any concerns about how crypto gets regulated, you need to be paying attention. Meanwhile Trump's CFPB is weighing a final open banking rule that could let big banks charge fees on every single transaction. We break down what both mean for your wallet. All of it in 10 minutes or less. Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:43 - Iran talks kick off  3:57 - Gallego’s big scandal 4:46 - 2 big financial policy turning points  7:04 - 2028 Dem Clown Car  8:26 - Look ahead Subscribe and leave us a review — it helps more people find the show.
