10 Minute Drill

A Texas Democratic congressional candidate just called for converting an ICE detention center into an internment camp for "American Zionists" — and her runoff is on May 26th. Democrats are scrambling. We break down the Maureen Galindo story and what it says about where the Democratic Party's radical fringe is heading.

Trump is in the "final stages" of talks with Iran — which could mean a deal, or it could mean something very different is coming. We explain what's actually on the table.

Primary night wrap-up: Thomas Massie is OUT after losing his Kentucky primary to Ed Gallrein. We break down what really happened — and why Massie's attempt to make it about Israel didn't work. Plus Georgia Supreme Court results and what the night's outcomes mean for the 2026 midterms.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Republicans need to be "broken" — and not just electorally. We play the clip and ask: who is this rhetoric actually motivating?

Socialist cities update: Zohran Mamdani's New York and Seattle's new tax experiment are running into the same wall. Seattle's mayor is now "gravely concerned" about a billionaire exodus — just weeks after welcoming the new socialist agenda. We revisit Ronald Reagan's warning that never gets old.

Plus your comments — including a great question about the ballroom and private funding — and why Mark Cuban deserves credit for standing up on drug price transparency even when it costs him politically.

Iran has submitted a new proposal to the United States with five demands: U.S. troop withdrawals from the region, war reparations, lifted sanctions, release of frozen assets, and an end to the naval blockade. Meanwhile, NATO is weighing a deployment to the Strait of Hormuz if it isn't open by July. We break down what this means — and why America's posture is raising serious questions.

Then it's primary night across America. In Kentucky, Thomas Massie faces a serious challenge from Ed Gallrein, while a wide-open GOP Senate primary to replace retiring Mitch McConnell features Andy Barr vs. Daniel Cameron. Georgia's Senate runoff pits Mike Collins against Derek Dooley. We've got the results and what they tell us about where the Republican Party is heading.

New 2028 Democratic primary polling is out — and the crosstabs are more revealing than the headline numbers. Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, AOC, and Pete Buttigieg's support broken down by Black, white, and Hispanic Democrats tells a story of a party without a clear frontrunner.

This week's Waste Wednesday: Cleveland Clinic collected $933 million in 340B drug program funds — money designed to help low-income patients — while running Super Bowl ads, building a facility in Abu Dhabi, paying executives millions, and maintaining a 7,000-piece art museum. We're not making this up.

And the NAACP is calling on Black athletes and fans to boycott southern universities over voting rights and redistricting. We ask a simple question: where was the NAACP when Virginia Democrats drew maps that eliminated majority-minority districts? When an organization uses college kids as political pawns, it deserves scrutiny — regardless of party.

Today's episode covers:

• Iran's new terms and NATO's Hormuz warning

• Kentucky, Georgia & Texas primary results

• 2028 Democratic primary polling crosstabs

• Cleveland Clinic's 340B scandal

• The NAACP boycott and the politics behind it

Iran is on the clock — and Trump isn't bluffing. After Iran bombed a UAE nuclear facility, President Trump is holding a Situation Room meeting on next steps and issuing a stark warning: "TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE." We break down what's coming and why the ceasefire window may be closing fast. 

Plus: Democrats are going all-in on a race-based midterm strategy — Booker, AOC, Buttigieg, Ayanna Pressley, and more are leaning hard into racial framing heading into 2026. But is it actually about race — or about power? We look at how Democrats drew their dream redistricting map in Virginia and somehow ended up DILUTING Black political power in the process. 

Then: Kamala Harris's "No Bad Ideas Brainstorm" era of Democratic politics — from abolishing the Electoral College to packing the Supreme Court. And California is now proving that what starts as a "no bad ideas" brainstorm doesn't stay hypothetical for long. 

We also dig into the foreign-funded proxy war targeting American data centers — over $39 million in foreign donations being used to stoke fear about U.S. energy infrastructure. Who's behind it? Hint: it's not who the activists claim. 

And: Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed is calling himself a "physician" — but Politico found he has almost no history of actually treating patients. Meanwhile, his rival Mallory McMorrow's campaign is in freefall. We break down why. 

Finally: Democrats are getting caught on camera being coached on how to seem "authentic." Spoiler — it's not working.
