    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.

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

    06/23/2026 | 13 mins.
    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.

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

    06/22/2026 | 9 mins.
    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.
