Trump goes global at Davos as concerns grow over China’s expanding influence and a deepening fraud scandal in Minnesota.

In today’s 10 Minute Drill, we break down President Trump’s remarks at the World Economic Forum, his criticism of Europe’s tech, energy, and free speech policies, and the broader geopolitical risks of pushing Western allies closer to Beijing. We examine the pros and cons of Trump’s international strategy — including national security concerns tied to reports of Chinese military pilots training in the United States.

Back at home, a federal investigation rocks Minnesota politics. Subpoenas are reportedly served on top state and city officials as lawmakers hear testimony about widespread fraud in taxpayer-funded programs — and the real human cost when vulnerable Americans are left without care.

We also take a closer look at the nonprofit and activist economy in Minnesota, spotlighting millions flowing through anti-poverty organizations, and wrap with a deep dive into the insurance industry, where critics say rising premiums and claim denials are colliding with aggressive ESG, DEI, and “woke” corporate priorities.
