Trump calms nerves and gas prices on Iran; Birthright Citizenship at SCOTUS; data center battle

from 10 Minute Drill · host Matt Whitlock

In this episode of The 10 Minute Drill, we break down a fast-moving set of major stories—from rising tensions with Iran to a high-stakes Supreme Court battle over birthright citizenship. President Trump addresses the nation as Iran signals interest in a ceasefire—but with a major demand tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. What happens next could have global consequences. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court hears arguments that could reshape how birthright citizenship is interpreted, with growing scrutiny on so-called “birth tourism” and its impact on U.S. immigration policy. We also dive into a controversial comparison from Abdul El-Sayed, who equated elements of the MAGA movement with the Iranian regime—raising eyebrows and sparking debate across the political spectrum. Plus, new reporting reveals that anti–data center activism may not be as grassroots as it seems, with tens of millions in funding tied to foreign billionaire donors targeting America’s AI infrastructure. And in Virginia, two disturbing cases involving illegal immigrants in Fairfax County are raising renewed concerns about sanctuary policies and public safety. Finally, we take a look at Rep. Eric Swalwell—who is now opposing the release of FBI files related to his past, despite previously calling for full transparency from others. Is this a case of political double standards?
