The Daily Signal - ‘It’s About Controlling You’: State AG Fights Biden’s COVID Vaccine Mandates

President Joe Biden's sweeping COVID-19 vaccine mandates are facing a slew of lawsuits from states and private employers. Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry is leading the charge against three of those mandates, already securing one favorable decision while awaiting action on the other two.

Landry joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss Biden's mandates and the legal challenges he's pursuing to halt their implementation.

"The president is actually contradicting the whole reason that we're having these mandates," Landry says. "To me, that becomes prima facie evidence of exactly why or what this administration's up to. It's not about health care. It's not about fighting the Chinese virus. It's about controlling you."

In addition to vaccine mandates, Landry also discusses:

  • U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland's recent memo targeting parents who speak at school board meetings;
  • Louisiana's efforts to support law enforcement and counter the "defund the police" movement;
  • JP Morgan Chase's discrimination against gun manufacturers and Second Amendment supporters;
  • Biden's failure to halt an oil-and-gas lease sale in Louisiana, which could deliver $100 million to the state.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Out of Office’ considers ‘why’ companies want to bring back remote employees

The working world looks a lot different today than it did nearly two years ago, when the coronavirus pandemic sent many office staff to work from home indefinitely. Writers Anne Helen Peterson and Charlie Warzel take a look at what work, and our relationship to it, will look like going forward in their new book, Out of Office. NPR's Rachel Martin spoke with Peterson about why so many companies want their employees back in person. And, spoiler alert: it's not about productivity.

Short Wave - A Mission To Redirect An Asteroid

In movies, asteroids careening towards Earth confront determined humans with nuclear weapons to save the world! But a real NASA mission to change the course of an asteroid (one not hurtling towards Earth), the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), is about to launch.

NPR science correspondent Nell Greenfieldboyce joins the show to talk about what it takes to pull off this mission and how it could potentially protect the Earth in the future from killer space rocks.
