Episode Details

On the February 5th episode of The 10 Minute Drill, the political ground is shifting fast—and the data is getting impossible to ignore.

We break down new national polling showing overwhelming support for ICE enforcement and deportations, including strong majorities of swing voters and independents. As sanctuary cities quietly change course, Minnesota offers a case study in how immigration politics are rapidly realigning.

We also cover a major pivot on trans surgeries for minors, as leading medical organizations caution that the evidence is insufficient and a landmark malpractice ruling sends shockwaves through the debate.

Plus:

• Why Americans are fleeing blue states like California—and how policy choices made it inevitable

• Gavin Newsom’s high-speed rail celebration vs. reality on the ground

• New reporting showing Putin is taking massive losses in Ukraine

• Fan mail reactions • And why tribal leaders are pushing back on Billie Eilish’s “stolen land” comments

Fast, focused, and packed with receipts—this is the news that matters, without the fluff.
