Big Beautiful Bill keeps rolling on - where things stand and what comes next
President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill is on the cusp of passing in the House — and Democrats are reacting with dramatic videos, talking points, and some very questionable tactics. In this fast-paced 10-minute episode, we break down: The emotional selfie video surge from Democrats including Chris Coons, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, and Adam Schiff. Amy Klobuchar’s attempt to shame Republicans using a Medicaid patient named “Dan” — and the bigger question Democrats are avoiding. Polling that shows broad support for work requirements, opposition to Medicaid for illegal immigrants, and serious concerns about fraud and waste in the program. A DEI shakedown from the Congressional Black Caucus after Target cut ties and ended its diversity programs — with legal experts calling it “textbook coercion.” Shocking polling data from the New York Times showing strong public support for religious opt-outs and gender procedure bans for minors. How Spain’s ad bans on fossil fuel cars could foreshadow similar speech crackdowns in the U.S. Plus: Steve Milloy’s warning that banning pharma ads could lead to banning ads for fossil fuels — and even energy companies. BONUS: Jamie Raskin hasn’t read the bill. Chuck Schumer threatens to end the IRS (by accident).

June 19 | Iran, TikTok, Hospital Corruption, SCOTUS Trans Ruling & the Left’s New Resistance Stunts In today’s episode of the 10 Minute Drill: 🇮🇷 Trump's Iran Policy Gets a Boost As tensions rise between Israel and Iran, new polling shows overwhelming public support for President Trump’s position: Iran must never be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. We break down the numbers and Trump’s vow to keep all options on the table. 📲 TikTok Ban Deadline Arrives — and the CCP’s Influence Campaign The Supreme Court has upheld Congress’s ban on TikTok, and not a moment too soon. We examine how TikTok has become a digital battlefield: Helping protesters thwart ICE operations Amplifying anti-Trump misinformation Spreading CCP-friendly narratives Promoting Chinese e-commerce in U.S. markets And we explain how Trump can end the chaos — by simply enforcing the law. 🏥 Consumer Alert: Hospitals Pushing Politics Consumers Research has exposed five major nonprofit hospital systems — including Cleveland Clinic, Vanderbilt, and Johns Hopkins — for using taxpayer breaks to promote radical political causes. From race-based hiring to trans surgeries on minors, the report is a wake-up call. Plus: the 340B program’s shocking role in funding these efforts. ⚖️ BREAKING: Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee’s Trans Ban A 6-3 SCOTUS decision confirms: states can protect minors from irreversible gender procedures. Justice Clarence Thomas delivers a blistering rebuke of politicized “experts,” and even the Washington Post poll shows the public strongly agrees with the ruling. 📬 Fan Mail: Medicaid and Accountability One listener asks: “If Medicaid enrollees are just sitting home playing video games, why not remove them instead of slashing care for the truly needy?” 🎭 Resistance Theater: Padilla, AOC, Brad Lander & Hochul Sen.
