    Utah AG Derek Brown Joins the 10 Minute Drill

    10/06/2026 | 16 mins.
    On today’s 10 Minute Drill, we break down the latest political headlines with just 27 days until the midterm elections, including Kamala Harris’ struggling 2028 prospects, and the Supreme Court’s Suncor v. Boulder case that could have major implications for climate lawfare.

    We’re also joined by Utah Attorney General Derek Brown to discuss the latest political and legal issues facing Utah and the country.

    We examine Kamala Harris’ return to the political spotlight—from her “destiny” comments and campaign-trail appearances to her limited engagement with the media and questions surrounding her potential 2028 presidential campaign.

    Plus, we break down Suncor v. Boulder and the potential consequences of allowing state and local governments to use tort law to hold energy companies accountable for climate-related damages. Could this case open the door for cities and states to pursue climate lawsuits against companies over weather events?

    Topics include:

    -Utah Attorney General Derek Brown interview

    -Kamala Harris 2028 presidential campaign

    -Gavin Newsom’s national political ambitions

    -California politics and reparations

    -Suncor v. Boulder and climate lawfare

    The Strait of Hormuz, Suncor & American Energy

    10/01/2026 | 10 mins.
    Americans are feeling the squeeze from high utility bills, while Washington remains divided over legislation targeting energy costs and congressional stock trading.

    On today’s 10 Minute Drill, we break down the Senate’s latest votes on the Ratepayer Protection Act and congressional stock trading reform, and examine the fight over accountability and American energy policy.

    We also turn to the Strait of Hormuz, where the U.S. Navy and Gulf allies are working to counter Iranian attacks. What does the latest shift in the region mean for oil markets, American energy security, and President Trump’s strategy toward Iran?

    Ahead of Monday’s Supreme Court arguments in Suncor Energy v. Boulder County, we examine the battle over climate litigation and the broader question of whether state and local governments should be able to influence national energy policy through the courts.

    Plus, meet Annie Andrews, the Democrat running to flip a South Carolina congressional seat, and explore the Democratic Party’s effort to push back against the labels of “socialist” and “communist” ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — and the continued influence of the Democratic Socialists of America.

    Today’s 10 Minute Drill covers: utility bills, the Ratepayer Protection Act, congressional stock trading, the Strait of Hormuz, Iran, American energy security, President Trump, Suncor v. Boulder County, the Supreme Court, climate litigation, Annie Andrews, socialism, and the 2026 midterms

    The Truth Behind Democrats’ “Affordability” Message

    09/30/2026 | 12 mins.
    President Trump is pushing American AI forward while Democrats keep standing in the way. On today’s 10 Minute Drill, we break down Trump’s meeting with AI executives, the fight over data centers, and why America cannot afford to let Communist China win the race for artificial intelligence.

    We also cover the Senate’s latest votes on voter ID and the SAVE Act, the fight over election integrity, and the Ratepayer Protection Act as Americans continue to deal with high energy costs.

    The Wall Street Journal takes aim at the Democrats’ “affordability” message, and we examine their questionable record on inflation, housing, gas prices, and energy costs.

    Plus, we look at Abdul El-Sayed’s fundraising connections with George Soros, a Kansas Democrat telling Americans to repent for driving and eating beef, Kamala Harris back in the spotlight, and Maine Democrat Troy Jackson’s latest gen-z driven digital strategy.

    AI, election integrity, affordability, energy, Democrat hypocrisy, and the 2026 midterms — all that and more on today’s 10 Minute Drill.
