NBN Book of the Day - Robert Elder, “Calhoun: American Heretic” (Basic Books, 2021)

In Calhoun: American Heretic (Basic Books, 2021), historian Robert Elder documents the life and thought of one of America's most controversial statesman, John C. Calhoun. 

A congressman, a vice president, and a senator, Calhoun represented Jeffersonian republicanism during a time of national expansion and imperialism. He became the nation's most ardent defender of slavery and one of its most complex thinkers on the issue of state sovereignty. Elder's book reconsiders the legacy of this consequential political figure and what it means for America's past and present.

Land of the Giants - Planet YouTube

When Google bought YouTube, it went from being a company that helps users search the Internet, to a company that shapes the Internet itself. With 2 billion users, YouTube generates its own gravitational pull on society and culture worldwide. And as an open platform that allows anyone to upload videos, it's a force that even Google can't quite control.

What A Day - Read My Lips: More Billionaire Taxes

The coronavirus relief bill moves to the Senate this week. A group of progressive House Democrats are continuing to push for a minimum wage increase in the bill. Meanwhile, Senator Warren and other Democrats introduced a wealth tax proposal aimed at addressing economic inequality. We talk to Representative Pramila Jayapal about why she's pushing for it now.

Protests in Myanmar are ongoing following the coup last month and the response from the police and military has grown increasingly violent. We review the recent history of the country, and recommend some good resources for digging in deeper. 

And in headlines: President Biden meets virtually with Mexican President Lopez-Obrador, why pharma companies won’t share vaccine blueprints, and former French leader Nicolas Sarkozy is convicted of corruption.

The Daily Signal - Does DC Mayor Have More Power Over Children Than Parents Do? Sen. Mike Lee Weighs In.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser recently proposed that children as young as 11 should be able to consent to vaccinations without their parents’ knowledge. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to talk about whether this is part of a larger agenda to deny parental rights and persuade children to trust government more than their parents.


Among other topics, Lee outlines his new bill designed to hold social media giants accountable for their promises.

And we cover these stories:

  • The Biden administration announces that it will allow families who came into the U.S. illegally and were separated during the Trump administration to remain in the country. 
  • House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says sexual harassment against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo should be taken seriously. 
  • A whopping 70% of conservative academics say their work environment is “hostile.”
