Everything Everywhere Daily - The Origin of Words and Phrases: India

The British ruled India for over 200 years. 

During that period, the British attempted to impose British culture on India. While they were somewhat successful, especially in exporting India’s national sport of cricket, they unknowingly were influenced by India as well.

It turns out that words from several languages on the subcontinents have made their way into English. Many of these words are common words you use every day, even though you might not know they have Indian origins.

Learn more about English language words of Indian origin on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What A Day - The Tragedy of War, Made Worse

Israel confirmed that an airstrike targeting a top Hamas commander hit a densely populated refugee camp in northern Gaza, killing at least 50 people and wounding hundreds more. The attack raises fears that Israel’s continued push into the enclave will put even more Palestinian civilians in harm’s way. 

On Capitol Hill, anti-war protesters interrupted a U.S. Senate hearing over the White House’s emergency aid request for Israel and Ukraine.  Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin both testified that the $106 billion request is imperative for national security.

And in headlines: Republican Rep. George Santos could face an historic vote to expel him from Congress, a federal judge in Texas ordered Border Patrol agents to temporarily stop removing razor wire along the US-Mexico border, and a Kansas judge ruled that officials there cannot enforce laws that discourage anyone from seeking an abortion.

The Best One Yet - 🚦 “Elmo got a makeover” — Sesame Street’s new pivot. Target’s theft excuse. JetBlue’s vacation mistake.

Sesame Street is changing its format for the first time in 56 years — Big Bird, Elmo, and Oscar The Grouch pioneered the “magazine format” of TV (which even influenced our podcast)

Target has said all year long that it’s struggling because of 1 thing: Theft (aka “shrinkage”) — But we just got the data from a journalist’s investigation… and Target doesn’t want you to hear it.

And JetBlue stock is about to hit an all-time low — Because when all you do is chase trends, you eventually run out of gas.

The Daily Signal - Dinesh D’Souza Unpacks New Film ‘Police State’

Dinesh D‘Souza’s newest film, “Police State,” chronicles the real-life stories of everyday Americans who have endured the wrath of a weaponized government and of the whistleblowers who are exposing its abuse of power.

The film will be shown Wednesday at a red-carpet event at Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump’s estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Trump, who is currently facing 91 felony charges in four separate cases, is the police state’s primary target, according to D’Souza.

Ahead of the Mar-a-Lago screening, D’Souza spoke with The Daily Signal about why he embarked on this project and how he hopes the film will awaken Americans to this troubling reality.

“I’m very proud of this film. It’s perhaps my most cinematic work, and also my most urgent call to action,” D’Souza says. “I’ve sort of likened myself to the animal that is warning the herd that, ‘Hey, we’re in danger. We need to take protective action.’”

Visit PoliceStateFilm.net to stream the movie.
