Texas Dems Surrender, MAGA Gavin, NOVA Schools & a Flawed Climate Study On today’s 10 Minute Drill: Texas Democrats finally surrender on redistricting after weeks of political theater.

Gavin Newsom debuts his “MAGA Gavin” Twitter act while Democrats’ brand collapses nationwide. Northern Virginia schools double down on radical bathroom policies, even punishing boys who object. A heavily cited climate study predicting $38 trillion in losses is exposed as flawed. From “Brat Summer” to “Braut Summer” — J.B. Pritzker expands financial aid to illegal immigrants.

Wednesday Special: Unpacking Trump’s Smithsonian review; Dems exploit “wrongful death” for climate
On today’s 10 Minute Drill (August 20, 2024), we dig into three stories at the intersection of climate, culture, and politics: Manipulating the “Consensus” on Climate Change – Activists continue to damage their own movement, with urgency at historic lows. We break down a first-of-its-kind wrongful death lawsuit blaming oil companies for “climate change” — and what sealed court documents reveal about a dark money climate group behind it. Hero of the Day: Irene Gilbert – A 76-year-old Oregon activist is using decades-old liberal policies to block massive wind and solar projects from destroying farmland and rural communities. ProPublica profiles her surprising success. Smithsonian Review – As America approaches its 250th anniversary, the White House is reviewing Smithsonian exhibits after criticism that museums are pushing political climate messaging instead of celebrating America’s story. From climate change in the dinosaur hall to children’s books about gender ideology, we look at how cultural institutions are shifting. Tune in for your daily dose of sharp analysis on politics, energy, and culture — in just 10 minutes.

In this episode of 10 Minute Drill, we cover the biggest stories the media would rather you ignore: Trump vs. DC Crime – President Trump vows to “take back our capital” and make it safe again.

Beto is Back – Robert “Beto” O’Rourke reappears on the political scene, with help from James Carville.

Wednesday Special: Trump's debanking Order; end of the Green New Deal; Looking at Gaza
In today’s BONUS 10 Minute Drill: The media is struggling to cover the Israel–Hamas conflict without tripping over its own bias. The New York Times splashed a front-page image of an emaciated child in Gaza, only to later admit the boy’s condition had nothing to do with starvation. At the same time, horrifying reports of Hamas starving hostages and forcing them to dig their own graves are largely ignored by those same outlets. Donald Trump is bringing back the Presidential Fitness Test — and the press is fuming. The New York Times says it “revives painful memories” for some, but others say it’s exactly the kind of accountability America’s kids need. Axios reports that Democrats have almost stopped talking about the “Green New Deal.” Has Joe Biden quietly killed the climate movement? And finally, Trump is preparing a new executive order to crack down on “debanking,” targeting banks like JP Morgan Chase for alleged discrimination against conservatives. All that — in 10 minutes, no filler, no spin. Supporting Links:

We compare vote shares vs. congressional seats across deep-blue states. TikTok Texans, Part II: The same Texas Democrats who fled to DC in 2021 over voter ID are back—this time fleeing to Illinois to protest redistricting. We break down the irony and media spin. Kamala’s Colbert Clip: What did she mean by “the system”? And why are some swing-district Democrats hoping she stays home in 2024? Climate Consensus Cracking: From Arkansas wind turbines to the rise of the “Climate Right,” we examine whether the climate narrative is driven more by science—or profit.

Iran tests Trump and the MAGA coalition; Meet the new Dem Resistance Heroes
June 19 | Iran, TikTok, Hospital Corruption, SCOTUS Trans Ruling & the Left’s New Resistance Stunts In today’s episode of the 10 Minute Drill: 🇮🇷 Trump's Iran Policy Gets a Boost As tensions rise between Israel and Iran, new polling shows overwhelming public support for President Trump’s position: Iran must never be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. We break down the numbers and Trump’s vow to keep all options on the table. 📲 TikTok Ban Deadline Arrives — and the CCP’s Influence Campaign The Supreme Court has upheld Congress’s ban on TikTok, and not a moment too soon. We examine how TikTok has become a digital battlefield: Helping protesters thwart ICE operations Amplifying anti-Trump misinformation Spreading CCP-friendly narratives Promoting Chinese e-commerce in U.S. markets And we explain how Trump can end the chaos — by simply enforcing the law. 🏥 Consumer Alert: Hospitals Pushing Politics Consumers Research has exposed five major nonprofit hospital systems — including Cleveland Clinic, Vanderbilt, and Johns Hopkins — for using taxpayer breaks to promote radical political causes. From race-based hiring to trans surgeries on minors, the report is a wake-up call. Plus: the 340B program’s shocking role in funding these efforts. ⚖️ BREAKING: Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee’s Trans Ban A 6-3 SCOTUS decision confirms: states can protect minors from irreversible gender procedures. Justice Clarence Thomas delivers a blistering rebuke of politicized “experts,” and even the Washington Post poll shows the public strongly agrees with the ruling. 📬 Fan Mail: Medicaid and Accountability One listener asks: “If Medicaid enrollees are just sitting home playing video games, why not remove them instead of slashing care for the truly needy?” 🎭 Resistance Theater: Padilla, AOC, Brad Lander & Hochul Sen. Alex Padilla gets arrested trying to confront HHS Secretary Kristi Noem — in what looks like a staged spectacle with a personal camera crew. NYC Comptroller Brad Lander tries to block ICE and is cheered by Gov. Hochul. Is this the Left’s new political playbook?
