## Resource

25 years after the horrific terrorist attacks of September 11th, we remember that fateful day and why it’s so important to never forget the impact had on our country, especially as we move into the midterms.  We also check in on day 2 of the GOP Midterm convention in Dallas. Highlights from Vice President JD Vance, Speaker Mike Johnson, Senator Ted Cruz, and Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers.  And we wrap up with the five stories you may have missed this past week. -New Hampshire Senate Race — Chris Pappas won the Democratic Senate primary and will face Republican John Sununu in November in a closely watched race that could have implications for control of the Senate. -Big Government Healthcare Failure — A look at the latest arguments over government involvement in healthcare, rising costs, access, and the problems facing American patients. -Decoy Dan — The left recruited a second Dan Sullivan to confuse Alaska voters, but there seems to be some collusion with left wing dark money groups. -Socialism in 2026 — Wild takes from the 2026 Democratic Socialists as they try and label GLP-1s as “fascist”. -Gavin Newsom’s Unwanted Visit  —  Gavin Newsom’s political activity in the South and his outreach in North Carolina goes without buy-in from southern Democratic candidates. #10MinuteDrill #GOPDallas #MidtermConvention #DSA #NHSenateRace #AlaskaSenate 0:00 - Intro 0:29 - Remembering 9/11 1:38 - GOP Day 2 Highlights 4:14 - NH Senate Race 5:35 - The Healthcare Failure 7:12 - The Left Recruits Decoy Dan 8:26 - Gavin Travels South 10:26 - The 2026 DSA Convention
