From Oscar-nominated filmmakers Betsy West and Oren Jacoby, "This Is Not a Drill" documents three unlikely heroes confronting the powerful fossil fuel industry amidst escalating extreme weather. Justin J. Pearson rallies a multiracial coalition against a crude oil pipeline in Memphis, Roishetta Ozane transforms personal loss into political action in Louisiana, and Sharon Wilson, a former oil insider, exposes invisible methane leaks in Texas.

Backed by John D. Rockefeller's descendants, this coalition uncovers "Big Oil’s Big Con"—an industry promoting fossil fuels while disguising the truth. This Patagonia film showcases how courage, grit, and determination can inspire grassroots victories against powerful forces.

Bret Baier's *To Rescue the Republic* explores Ulysses S. Grant's critical role from the Civil War through Reconstruction and the 1876 electoral crisis. Grant led the Union Army to victory, advanced Reconstruction as President, and forged a compromise that saved the nation, albeit at a cost to civil rights.

This program, featuring Bret Baier and moderated by Melissa Caen, was part of The Commonwealth Club's Good Lit series. Founded in 1903, the Club is the nation's oldest and largest public affairs forum, hosting diverse speakers and over 400 annual events.
