Everything Everywhere Daily - The Maginot Line

After the First World War in France, many generals thought that the end of the war was really just a pause before another war began. They wanted to make sure that the next time war broke out with Germany, they were ready and could never be invaded again. 

To that end, they created a series of defensive fortifications they believed to be impregnable. 

Spoiler alert: it didn’t work. 

Learn more about the Maginot Line, why it was built, and why it failed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What A Day - Florida Man Gets Fired

The Chair of Florida’s Republican Party of Florida, Christian Ziegler, was removed from his position on Monday after a closed-door meeting of party members in the state. It’s the latest development in the relatively small but very mighty scandal that also includes Ziegler’s wife, Bridget.

Pope Francis called for surrogacy to be banned globally on Monday and described the practice as “despicable.” However, the Pope’s position on surrogacy doesn’t necessarily match up with some of his more progressive stances, including the recent allowance for Catholic priests to bless same-sex couples.

And in headlines: United Airlines said that preliminary inspections into its Boeing 737 Max 9 planes revealed some loose bolts on door panels, President Joe Biden was in Charleston, South Carolina to gain much-needed support from Black voters, and we recap the winners and losers of the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards.

The Daily Signal - Why Iran Is at Center of Middle East Conflict

Hamas and Israel have been at war for three months. The Houthis are firing rockets at ships in the Red Sea. Lebanon is firing rockets into Israel. And internal violence is growing in Iran between Sunni and Shiite Muslims.


As tension builds in the Middle East, the most common thread in the conflict is Iran, according to Victoria Coates, former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump.


There are three Iranian-sponsored terrorist groups beginning with “H” in the region, Coates explains—to include Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah. 

Consider the attack on Israel alone. 


“Hamas doesn't have the capability to do this on their own. They needed the help from Hezbollah. They needed the help ultimately from Iran in terms of equipment and intelligence and so on,” says Coates, who currently serves as vice president of the Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s news outlet.) 


The Biden administration has failed to take strategic action against Iran, Coates says. Meanwhile, “there have been closer to 150 attacks on the part of these various Iranian proxy groups on U.S. installations and people” since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7.


Coates joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why the Biden administration has not taken consistent strategic action against Iran and to address the threat of all-out war in the Middle East.

Ologies with Alie Ward - Ethnoecology (ETHNOBOTANY/NATIVE PLANTS) with Leigh Joseph

The what, where, and who of native plants is … ethnobotany! Which is under the umbrella of Ethnoecology! The wonderful botanist Leigh Joseph shares what steered her to this field, how she includes her Squamish First Nation community in her research, and how we relate to plants – both native and invasive. She’ll chat about how to identify plants, Latin names vs. traditional names, how knowledge is passed down or silenced, the chilling history that inspired some of her work, uses for barks and berries and saps and teas, pharmaceuticals derived from Indigenous knowledge, ceremonial plants, the dos and absolutely do-nots of harvesting, skin remedies, white sage, and so much more. Also what should I put on my face?

The #1 performing stock of 2023 was Abercrombie & Fitch — And it’s all thanks to women and “The Mullet Strategy.”

Over the weekend, a door fell blew off a Boeing airplane mid-flight — Boeing stock just fell 7% and we’re looking at how catastrophes change company culture.

And after 27 years, Nike and Tiger Woods are officially breaking up — But Nike’s greatest skill isn’t making shoes, it’s picking talent.
