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.

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.

Washington is back — and so is the shutdown theater. Congress is facing another funding fight, with Democrats showing no incentive to help, while Trump’s National Guard deployment in Chicago has leaders like JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson scrambling to spin crime stats. Even MSNBC admits the city may need Trump’s help. Meanwhile, teachers unions are joining a boycott against Target — proving once again they’re more focused on politics than kids. From $50M funneled into political groups to rants about “pharaohs” and velour, the fight is as absurd as it sounds. Special guest Nicki Neily of Defending Education joins to share what parents should watch for as their kids head back to school, the craziest things she’s seen from radical school districts, and how her group is holding administrators accountable. And in our YCMIU segment: Tim Walz puts his foot in his mouth again — this time talking about Trump dying.

Texas Dems Surrender, MAGA Gavin, NOVA Schools & a Flawed Climate Study On today’s 10 Minute Drill: Texas Democrats finally surrender on redistricting after weeks of political theater. California Democrats push the “nuclear option” to scrap their independent redistricting commission and tighten their partisan grip.

In this special Thanksgiving edition of the 10 Minute Drill, we take a break from the usual chaos to highlight the five things in politics we’re actually thankful for this year — the moments that keep the news cycle entertaining, absurd, and occasionally hilarious. We kick things off with Trump’s turkey pardon, then move into the people, trends, and clips that made 2024 unforgettable: • Theater Kids From staged ICE-arrest performances to 80s-aerobics protests, DOGE dance routines, protest ballads, and full-on “resistance talent shows,” theater kids continue to deliver unmatched political entertainment. • Book Tours Kamala Harris provides instant classics: “Pass the baby,” rhetorical-question confusion, comments about Pete Buttigieg… and yes, she still picked Tim Walz. Karine Jean-Pierre adds her own moments with the now-famous “Do you have any regrets?” exchange and a tour theme built entirely around identity. • Identity Politics We break down the congressional “Two Spirit” hearing, including the viral explanation that the concept “has only existed since the 90s.” • The California Governor’s Race Katie Porter shouting “Get out of my shot,” Eric Swalwell’s weightlifting videos and awkward greetings — the race is pure political theater, and we’re grateful for every minute. • Tim Walz From his energetic dancing and dramatic gesturing to the “go bully someone” soundbite, Walz rounds out our list of Thanksgiving blessings. If you enjoy fast, funny, sharp political commentary, you’ll love this holiday special.New episodes of the 10 Minute Drill drop twice a week. Subscribe and stay caught up.

In today’s BONUS 10 Minute Drill: The media is struggling to cover the Israel–Hamas conflict without tripping over its own bias. The New York Times splashed a front-page image of an emaciated child in Gaza, only to later admit the boy’s condition had nothing to do with starvation. At the same time, horrifying reports of Hamas starving hostages and forcing them to dig their own graves are largely ignored by those same outlets. Donald Trump is bringing back the Presidential Fitness Test — and the press is fuming. The New York Times says it “revives painful memories” for some, but others say it’s exactly the kind of accountability America’s kids need. Axios reports that Democrats have almost stopped talking about the “Green New Deal.” Has Joe Biden quietly killed the climate movement? And finally, Trump is preparing a new executive order to crack down on “debanking,” targeting banks like JP Morgan Chase for alleged discrimination against conservatives.

10 Minute Drill – July 24, 2025 Happy Pioneer Day! Today's episode covers major trade wins, a wildfire relief scandal, and new fallout from Hunter Biden’s press tour. We start with fresh progress on the US/EU tariff deal and the finalized US-Japan agreement, as leaders aim to tackle non-tariff barriers like the Digital Services Tax. Then: Where’s the wildfire relief money? Over $100 million raised by U2, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and others after the devastating LA wildfires—but victims say they’ve received nothing. Investigative reporting shows funds are being controlled by the Annenberg Foundation, with millions redirected to nonprofits and politically active groups with little to no direct relief.

In today’s episode of 10 Minute Drill, we cover a rapid-fire rundown of the biggest political, economic, and foreign policy stories shaping the week. We start with the shifting momentum in the Russia–Ukraine war, new polling showing rising support for Trump’s foreign policy, and Rubio’s unexpectedly productive meetings in Geneva. Trump publicly criticizes Putin for making “zero effort” toward peace, while Americans increasingly favor concessions to end the conflict. Then we break down Trump’s surprising meeting with Zohran — from calling him a “communist” earlier this year to now saying they “agree on a lot more than expected,” even joking that Zohran can “call me a fascist.” Zohran still calls Trump a fascist afterward. Next, Democrats launch a new “illegal orders” message aimed directly at the military, citing Nuremberg and A Few Good Men — but when pressed, they can’t name a single illegal order. We also look at their revived threats toward ICE agents and warnings that police may “start shooting people.” With Thanksgiving behind us, we review why holiday meals were significantly cheaper this year — turkey prices dropped 16% and major retailers rolled out bundles that feed 4–10 people for under $40. We also cover a new Soros-backed boycott targeting Home Depot, Amazon, and Target, plus Becky Quick’s viral on-air eyeroll during a heated exchange with Hakeem Jeffries.
