Thanksgiving Week: Russian and Ukraine; Trump hosts Zohran, Democrats “sedition” video

from 10 Minute Drill · host Matt Whitlock

In today’s episode of 10 Minute Drill, we cover a rapid-fire rundown of the biggest political, economic, and foreign policy stories shaping the week. We start with the shifting momentum in the Russia–Ukraine war, new polling showing rising support for Trump’s foreign policy, and Rubio’s unexpectedly productive meetings in Geneva. Trump publicly criticizes Putin for making “zero effort” toward peace, while Americans increasingly favor concessions to end the conflict. Then we break down Trump’s surprising meeting with Zohran — from calling him a “communist” earlier this year to now saying they “agree on a lot more than expected,” even joking that Zohran can “call me a fascist.” Zohran still calls Trump a fascist afterward. Next, Democrats launch a new “illegal orders” message aimed directly at the military, citing Nuremberg and A Few Good Men — but when pressed, they can’t name a single illegal order. We also look at their revived threats toward ICE agents and warnings that police may “start shooting people.” With Thanksgiving behind us, we review why holiday meals were significantly cheaper this year — turkey prices dropped 16% and major retailers rolled out bundles that feed 4–10 people for under $40. We also cover a new Soros-backed boycott targeting Home Depot, Amazon, and Target, plus Becky Quick’s viral on-air eyeroll during a heated exchange with Hakeem Jeffries.
