What A Day - Vaxxers Without Borders
Joe Biden will visit Kenosha, Wisconsin later today, where he’ll meet with the family of Jacob Blake. We check in on the continued protests happening there, plus the protests that are continuing in Lafayette, Louisiana, where Trayford Pellerin was killed by police just two days before Blake’s shooting.
The Trump administration said it’s not going to take part in a global effort to develop a COVID-19 vaccine because the World Health Organization is leading it. The CDC recently told public health officials in 50 states and five major cities to prepare to distribute a vaccine as early as late October.
And in headlines: protests in Belarus, survivors of the Tulsa Massacre seek reparations, and John Boyega reflects on Star Wars.

The Daily Signal - Cancel Culture Comes for America’s National Monuments
The nation's monuments are under fire from the progressive left. A new report commissioned by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser recommends that the federal government "remove, relocate, or contextualize" the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, and six other statues and monuments.
Jarrett Stepman, a contributor to The Daily Signal and author of "The War on History: The Conspiracy to Rewrite America's Past," joins the podcast to discuss the report from the DCFACES Working Group and explain the intrinsic threat that cancel culture poses to American history.
To read the working group's report to the mayor, click here. And for more analysis of the report, read the commentary for The Daily Signal by Joseph Loconte, director of the B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies at The Heritage Foundation, headlined "The Mayor, the Monuments, and the Mayhem."

- United Airlines announces plans to put 16,000 employees on involuntary furlough or cut their jobs entirely, beginning in October.

Consider This from NPR - President ‘Heaping Fuel On The Fire’ Of Unrest, Ex-Trump DHS Official Says
President Trump has stoked tensions and repeatedly failed to condemn acts of violence from racially — and ethnically — motivated attackers, says Elizabeth Neumann, former assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security.
Neumann left her job in April and is now speaking publicly about her experience in the administration. She told NPR's Steve Inskeep why she no longer supports the president — and how his rhetoric has fueled unrest in Kenosha, Wis., and elsewhere across the country.

Everything Everywhere Daily - That New Pope Smell
The Roman Catholic Papacy is one of the oldest institutions in the world, second only to the Chrysanthemum Throne in Japan. Since its inception, there have been 266 popes, and a couple of anti-popes as well.
The pope is not only the head of a religion but also the leader of a sovereign, albeit small, state as well. The process of choosing a pope is unlike any other in the world.
Learn more about the selection process for picking a new pope on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
