Trump fights DC crime; Gerrymandering War Rages; new data on “the elites”

from 10 Minute Drill · host Matt Whitlock

In this episode of 10 Minute Drill, we cover the biggest stories the media would rather you ignore: Trump vs. DC Crime – President Trump vows to “take back our capital” and make it safe again. Democrats and the media dismiss the effort as a “distraction” — even as violent crime and the murder rate surge. Gerrymandering Hypocrisy – Democratic leaders struggle on national TV to defend their own extreme gerrymanders in New York and Illinois. Beto is Back – Robert “Beto” O’Rourke reappears on the political scene, with help from James Carville. Energy Costs & Utility Bills – The left blames Republicans for rising bills, but their go-to “nonpartisan” experts are tied to Biden’s climate agenda. New Jersey’s electric prices could be a political disaster for Democrats. Poll on U.S. Elites – New data reveals what America’s most elite 1% believe about freedom, climate policy, and banning cars. Mexican Food Controversy – Actress Jennifer Welch says Trump supporters shouldn’t eat Mexican or Chinese food, sparking backlash from working-class legal immigrants. Listen in for sharp takes, quick hits, and the political context you won’t get anywhere else.
