And I'll pick the one I like better. If you like what you're hearing on 10 Minute Drill, please leave us a review. Leave us a five star rating on Apple podcasts, Spotify, leave us a comment likes on YouTube. We need feedback from you to know what you like and what you'd like to hear more of. But over to Iran. Yesterday we talked about President Trump's announcement that we were holding off on a planned attack on Iran after a request from Gulf states, Saudi Arabia, United Emirates, Qatar, because they believed there was some momentum towards an actual peace deal. Yesterday, Reuters announced that Iran had sent back their requests and it wasn't much better than any of the ones we've seen up to this point. Iran has submitted a new proposal to the United States to end the war. The terms include five demands, US Troops leaving areas close to Iran, the US Paying war reparations, lifting sanctions on Iran, releasing Iran's frozen assets and ending the US Blockade. And alongside that, Iran is still saying they don't want to talk about the nuclear issue until after all the armed conflict is paused and taken off the table in the initial phase of peace is agreed to, which is absurd. President Trump has said there is no agreement without a conversation about getting rid of any nuclear materials that still in Iran. So again, we're just about as far apart as we have ever been and the longer this goes, the better it is for Iran and the worse it is for us. And so President Trump is under a lot of pressure now from his own supporters who are saying, wait a second, we can't let them drag this out as they've done for 47 years. So the pressure will be on. This week. We will hear more about President Trump's discussion with his National Security Council about what they want to do next. We know they have a long list of military targets. Meanwhile, NATO has helpfully joined the chat, saying NATO to consider Hormuz deployment if strait not open by July. Now, if the strait isn't open by July, we have much bigger problems. We'll be looking at catastrophic gas prices, the economy will be in a very scary place, and Republicans will be looking at a catastrophic midterm. So hopefully President Trump is taking all of this to heart and planning on a much quicker action to wrap this all up and end the terrible state sponsor of terror in Iran. Last night was primary night in America on a few key races. A lot of people are watching. First of all, a Kentucky House primary. This is incumbent Thomas Massie vs. Ed Gallerin, a challenger endorsed by President Trump. Now, this got a lot of attention because President Trump has endorsed against Thomas Massie. President Trump has been frustrated and annoyed with Massie for years, and that is the reason Gallerin was able to pull this out and win this race. Ed Galrain has defeated incumbent Thomas Massie after Donald Trump endorsed Gallerin. Now, Massey supporters maintain that he's a person of principle. For me, personally, I think he's gotten a little bit annoying because he never wants to be a part of a solution. And he's the guy who will always vote no against the rest of his party. So he can say he's got principles. It's never really helped or contributed to anything. And so I'm fine without him. Let's move over to the Kentucky Senate primary. First, there was former gubernatorial candidate, former longtime McConnell staffer, former Attorney general of Kentucky Daniel Cameron, who was the early favorite in this race but sort of petered off over time, especially when President Trump endorsed current House member Andy Barr, who pulled off the victory tonight. Also, Georgia held its Senate primary, which is leading to a runoff between current House member Mike Collins and former Tennessee Volunteers football coach Derek Dooley. This has been a heated primary up to this point with lots of barbs traded. President Trump has not yet endorsed in this race. Mike Collins has been the sort of MAGA online favorite, raised a little bit more money than Dooley, but there are serious questions of whether he can beat Jon Ossoff because he's got a lot of baggage, including some ties to corruption charges, things like that, and also the fact that in some cases he doesn't seem like the most intelligent person. Whereas Derelict Dooley is endorsed by Brian Kemp, the very popular governor of Georgia. And we'll see where that one goes. Both of them are vying to face off against Jon Ossoff, who should be the most endangered Democrat in the country in November. One other key election nugget next week is the Texas Senate primary. That's been long awaited. Yesterday, President Trump made his long awaited endorsement in that race surprising many by endorsing current Attorney General Ken Paxton instead of incumbent Senator John Cornyn. Most of the conversation around this is focused on which one of these guys can ensure that a Democrat does not win the Texas Senate race. Republicans have expressed concern that Paxton might have enough baggage that someone like James Talarico, even though he's one of the worst candidates on paper we've ever seen with enough money, could beat Paxton. But President Trump has endorsed Paxton. Now we'll see where that primary goes next week. I wanna look at a new poll of the 2028 Democrats who might be running for president. This is conducted by Echelon Insights. And I thought I had a few fun nuggets just to highlight. First off, looking at racial cross tabs among black Democrat voters. Kamala Harris has 40% support. Gavin Newsom has 17%. AOC has 4%. Pete Buttigieg has 0%. He has dropped 1% back down to zero. Now, there's been a lot of conversation about why Pete Buttigieg is so detested by black Democrat voters. I thought Stephen A. Smith back in 2025 had a really interesting nugget about
- [06:28]
B
that under indexing a little bit with the black voters. Yeah, a little. What is that all about? He doesn't move us.
- [06:36]
A
Now, there's a lot of dynamics behind that. Pete Buttigieg, when he was the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, got crosswise with a lot of black voters when he fired a black police chief and did a number of different things that angered voters and that's dogged him. That became a major election issue in the 2020 primary and it seems like nobody's forgotten. But it also might be a little bit to do with the fact that he's just kind of annoying. But looking at the other racial cross tabs among white Democrats, Kamala Harris leads with 18%. Gavin Newsom has 16, AOC 13, Pete Buttigieg 12. And then among Hispanic Democrats, Kamala Harris has 25%, Gavin Newsom 19%, AOC 15% and Pete Buttigieg 11%. So again, very interesting that Kamala Harris has come back to the top in this race despite her terrible book tour, despite stepping on rakes everywhere she turns. Part of it might also be the fact that Gavin Newsom is coming back down off of a little bit of high of his own, but particularly as people look at the fact that he's got no record to run on and is also kind of a scumbag. So we will follow this closely. Continue to tune in to 10 minute drill for all the hardest hitting takes about the 2028 Democrat presidential primary. One thing going on in the Senate this week, we teed this up a little bit in our Monday rundown. The Senate Republicans are trying to work through their reconciliation bill. This is the Republican only funding bill that will fund Customs and Border Patrol and ICE because of Democrats long shutdown. The Republican plan to get around the democr shutdown of ICE and Customs and Border Patrol was this Republican only reconciliation budget bill. But a part of this bill that's gotten hung up is supplemental security funding that will also support President Trump's ballroom. Now Democrats are treating this ballroom like the end of the world. Here is Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor yesterday.
- [08:20]
C
While Americans are getting crushed by the cost of rent, groceries, gas, health care, child care, Senate Republicans have spent their time trying to salvage a plan to force taxpayers to fund Donald Trump's gilded ballroom. Democrats stopped Republicans first attempt. Now Republicans have a choice. Republicans can drop this ballroom boondoggle because Democrats exposed it and the public sought for exactly what it was, or Republicans can keep this boondoggle in the bill.
- [08:56]
A
Now again, I won't minimize the fact that $1 billion is a small amount, but I would also like to acknowledge that it is 1/9 of the Somali fraud scandal and it is about 1/1000 of what Chuck Schumer and Democrats passed under Joe Biden for wind, solar and electric vehicle tax credits, a lot of which went to companies that are now completely defunct. So personally, I don't think Chuck Schumer should ever be allowed to use the word boondoggle on the Senate floor, especially when you look into the Chuck Schumer personally let solar company executives be a part of the bill drafting process. Those same executives showed up on White House visitor logs while the White House was writing the rules for how those solar tax credits would be distributed. And then we saw the executives from those solar companies go from millionaire to billionaire. So once again, while Democrats are trying to claim that the sky is falling and the constitutional republic is ending because of this ballroom, which presidents from both parties have wanted in the past and presidents from both parties will use in the future. This will get done about two months before President Trump leaves office. So it's not even some fun party thing for him. I can't get behind the Democrat outrage and I really, really can't stand the hypocrisy on bad spending and boondoggles. Introducing a brand new segment today called Waste, Fraud and Abuse Wednesday. Now, the Trump administration and Republicans are very focused on highlighting waste, fraud and abuse. That has been a key cornerstone part for from the beginning of this administration. We saw it first with Doge highlighting all the insane things our tax dollars were going to that people had never heard about before. One thing that's been getting a lot of attention in these last few weeks is particularly fraud in Ohio.
- [10:38]
B
Now to a fraud scheme that could potentially cost taxpayers in Ohio hundreds of millions of dollars. Yet a recent audit revealing major red flags in that state's Medicaid program. Medicaid fraud issues in Ohio, the state that I used to represent in the Ohio in the United States Senate, this is the easiest way to put money back in people's pockets, crush the Medicaid fraud. We're talking about billions of dollars in savings, which for Ohio is a really big deal.
- [11:04]
A
Now, I particularly like this conversation about how fighting waste, fraud and abuse can actually reduce costs and fight against any affordability issue that people are feeling. And in Medicaid and health care in particular, that is an area that is ripe for the government to look into and to make major changes. Now, a lot of this has focused on fraudulent providers like fraudulent hospice care workers, home health care workers. That was a huge part of the Daily Wire's incredible reporting and it's something we know they're digging into. But the other piece that I want to highlight today going on in Ohio is the insane abuse of woke hospital programs like 340B. Cleveland Clinic in Ohio has taken $933 million in 340B related revenue and savings, according to a report from the Senate Senate Help Committee Chairman Bill Cassidy. Now, this program, as we've talked about quite a bit, was built to help lower income people get discounts for medications they can't afford. But there's a loophole in this that allows hospitals to charge full price and not actually give that discount to patients. So they take a massive windfall like that $933 million I just mentioned for Cleveland Clinic. What do they do with that. They do things like build a giant 7,000 piece art museum. They pay their executives, even though it's a non profit hospital, millions of dollars in giant salaries. They put money towards things like a practice facility for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They build facilities in Abu Dhabi. All of this subsidized by our tax dollars in a program that was meant to help lower income patients who are not getting any help at all from this. So once again Democrats and hospitals have found a way to rejigger this program to take money from the people who need it to and create another waste, fraud and abuse dynamic that hurts people and enriches a weird corporate hospital system. So for those looking into waste, fraud and abuse in the healthcare system, take a look at Cleveland Clinic. You'll also find examples of this all around the country in these insane programs that are taking our healthcare dollars and betraying patients and taxpayers before you can't make it up segment today. You may have thought we were going to talk about a very disgusting story about Graham Platner and Porta Potties. We're not because this is a family program and I do not recommend googling in it. But I will say that guy is a degenerate. Instead, we're going to talk about this announcement from the naacp. The naacp, the national association for the Advancement of Colored People is urging black athletes and fans to withhold athletic and financial support from public universities in states that have moved to limit, weaken or erase black voting representation. In their announcement they highlight Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Georgia. So the NAACP is entering into this fight over redistricting and they are calling for athletes and fans to boycott essentially the SEC's sports programs. Good luck with that. They are getting a bit of a leg up from media helping them with headlines. Absolutely outrageous and factually incorrect. First up, Washington Post NAACP calls for College Sports Boycott in States Targeting Black Voting Power. Let me remind you, no black voting power is being impacted by this. Every person who had the right to vote will still have it. What's being changed is whether or not those states have a built in Democrat base that gets a seat no matter what without competition. That is what the Supreme Court changed. Another headline from NBC, NAACP Calls on Black Athletes to Pause on Southern Schools over Voting Rights. Again, voting rights are not at risk here and this is infuriating. ESPN NAACP Urging Athletes fans to Boycott over Voting Rights So again the media is all in on this gambit from the left trying to say your voting rights are at risk. They look at Cory Booker and these insane cosplaying Democrats are trying to pretend that the civil rights movement is being reversed because they no longer have built in seats that they don't have to compete for. It's outrageous. But again I would say where was the NAACP when Virginia Democrats steamrolled majority minority districts and diluted black votes in order to help people like Dan Helmer have an easy seat to win again? NAACP and Democrats are working together to urge young people to skip out on key opportunities for their careers as part of their short term political fight. I think this is insanely shortsighted, a reminder that the NAACP like so many other organizations no longer care about their sort of key mission and priorities. They just care about being another foot soldier in the left fight. Even if in this case it means using young child soldiers as a part of it. That's all the time we have for today.
