Summary
China and Iran, Democrats’ plans for investigations and impeachment, the future of crypto regulation, and James Talarico’s comments on parents and gender identity are all on today’s 10 Minute Drill. Reports indicate that Iran obtained high-resolution satellite imagery from Chinese entities ahead of a July attack that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan. With President Donald Trump preparing to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, what does the latest China-Iran connection mean for U.S. national security? Plus, Democrats are preparing for a potential wave of investigations, lawsuits, and impeachment efforts if they retake the House. The bipartisan CLARITY Act also faces a critical moment as Congress considers how to regulate cryptocurrency. Also on the show: Joe Manchin endorses Susan Collins, newly resurfaced comments from James Talarico raise questions about parental rights and gender identity, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announces his reelection campaign.
