Trump in Asia; Shutdown Day 29; DEI Crackdown; Mysteries of Zohran
It’s Wednesday, October 29 — and we’re one week from Election Day. The 10 Minute Drill breaks down today’s biggest political stories in just ten minutes: 🇯🇵 Trump in Japan: A powerful moment in Tokyo as Prime Minister Takaichi gifts President Trump a putter once owned by the late Shinzo Abe. The two leaders sign major trade, nuclear, and rare-earth deals — and reaffirm the U.S.–Japan alliance. 💰 Shutdown Day 29: Democrats start to panic over food stamps and worker unrest. Gov. Tim Walz invokes “emergency authority,” while federal employees and small business groups turn up the pressure in Washington. 🏫 Defending Education: A coalition of 26 parental rights groups — led by Defending Ed — calls for a 50-state audit to eliminate DEI from K–12 schools. The national “Clean Up the Mess” campaign gains momentum. 🧕 Zohran’s 9/11 Story Falls Apart: New reporting reveals that his “aunt in a hijab” was actually a distant cousin. His latest defense — that “dignity is another word for freedom” — raises even more eyebrows. 🙏 Religious Liberty Rankings: A new report finds Alabama, Kansas, and Texas leading the nation on faith-based freedoms, while Michigan, Washington, and Maryland rank near the bottom. 🌍 Where’s the UN? Bloomberg reports the UN is focused on wealth and carbon taxes in developing nations — while President Trump takes on peacekeeping and energy security himself. Even Bill Gates now admits that focusing only on climate may be misguided. 🎧 Listen to The 10 Minute Drill for sharp, smart, no-spin political updates — every weekday in ten minutes or less. #Trump #Japan #Shutdown #DEI #Education #UN #Politics #EnergySecurity #ReligiousLiberty #10MinuteDrill

​​ICE Facility Shooting Shocks Dallas | Trump at UN Rocks Climate Week | Kamala Burn Book Tour
A horrific shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas has shocked the country — with reports of “anti-ICE” messages left at the scene. We break down what happened, the media spin, and how rhetoric from politicians like Gavin Newsom and Jasmine Crockett may be fueling the fire. At the United Nations, Donald Trump lit up the room with blunt warnings on climate change, energy, and migration. He blasted the “green energy scam,” called out Europe’s immigration crisis, and even made headlines on NATO and Russia. It’s Climate Week, but we’re looking at the waste and corruption behind U.N. climate funds — and the $2.2 billion California solar boondoggle that never lived up to its promises. Fresh polling shows Democrats in trouble with Gen Z and losing ground on crime, immigration, and the economy. Meanwhile, Virginia faces a disturbing Title IX complaint after a Fairfax County school allowed a biological male in the girls’ locker room — and Rep. Abigail Spanberger is dodging questions. Finally, Kamala Harris continues her Burn Book tour, with awkward stops on Maddow, The View, and Good Morning America. But will excuses and finger-pointing change her standing with voters?
