Chapo Trap House - 993 – From the Columbia River to the Sea feat. Andrew Hudson (12/8/25)

Andrew Hudson of E1 returns to talk about a grab bag of recent news: Marie Glusenkamp Perez’s war on pinnipeds, Alex Karp’s tweaked-out media hits, and another vaccine on the RFK’s chopping block. We then turn to Milo Yiannopoulos, who just recently made the equally outrageous claims that Charlie Kirk is still alive and Benny Johnson is actually gay. Finally, Tarantino’s unbearable public persona, the Ellison-Zaslav war over Warner Bros.’ future, and a lot of praise for a recent genre movie.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - A Bridge Colby Too Far?

A full house today takes up Pete Hegseth's speech on American defense and the national security strategy document released by the administration—Good? Bad? Ugly? And how about that New York Times story revealing the way the Biden administration self-destructed on immigration? Plus, I recommend (with the provisos that it's very very very long and very very very violent) Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair—a merger of his two Kill Bill films from 20 years ago. Give a listen.

Everything Everywhere Daily - All About Dog Breeds

When looking at your neighbor's dachshund and your great dane, it is hard to believe that these dogs trace back to the same ancestors. Yet, this is true!

Through centuries of domestication and selective breeding, humans have transformed dogs into the most diverse mammal species known today.

Yet, despite the incredible diversity in dog breeds, remarkably, they are all members of the same species.

Learn about how different dog breeds developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
