Today on the 10 Minute Drill (August 20, 2024):
We dive into three big stories showing how politics, climate activism, and culture wars are reshaping America.

🔹 Liberals hurt the “Consensus” on Climate Change – New reporting shows climate activists are undermining their own cause, with urgency at an all-time low. We look at the shocking wrongful death lawsuit blaming oil companies for “climate change,” and sealed court documents revealing a dark money climate group behind the case.

🔹 Hero of the Day: Irene Gilbert – Meet the Oregon activist using decades-old liberal policies to block massive wind and solar projects from destroying farmland and rural communities. At 76 years old, she’s proving one person can stand up to the green energy industry.

🔹 Smithsonian Review Controversy – Ahead of America’s 250th anniversary, the White House is reviewing Smithsonian exhibits after parents raised concerns that museums are pushing political climate messaging instead of celebrating America’s story. From dinosaur halls rebranded as climate warnings to children’s books about gender ideology, we break down what’s really going on.
