This weekend, we’re revisiting Mike’s recent Spiel about the similarities between the protest tactics of BLM and Canadian truckers. And then we’re going way back to the first few months of the Gist (June 2014, to be exact-ish), to a laundromat in order to talk about what we now see as the nascent gig economy.
With guest Maria Williams, a Native studies professor at University of Alaska Anchorage, we explore the history of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act and ask how fair and just it was — both by the standards of the time and by the standards of today. With guest host Aaron Leggett of the Anchorage Museum and the Native Village of Eklutna.

Located near the city of Masvingo in Central Zimbabwe are the ruins of one of the greatest civilizations of the Middle Ages.
When European explorers first discovered the ruins, they simply couldn’t believe that it was built by native Africans.
Subsequent archeological investigations show not just that they were wrong, but that the civilization which was there had contact with some of the furthest reaches of the known world.
Learn more about Great Zimbabwe, one of Africa’s greatest empires, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
The world is watching Russia and Ukraine closely. Even though Russia says it’s not planning to attack Ukraine, American and NATO officials say Russia’s invasion plan is already in motion. How did we get here? What is Russia likely planning? Who will get involved, and get hurt, if the invasion happens?
Today we’re discussing the threat of war with author and scholar, Nina Jankowicz. She’s an internationally recognized expert on disinformation and its impact on democracies. Her book is "How to Lose the Information War."
Nina previously served as an advisor to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and has shared her expertise with Congress and the European Parliament. We hope our conversation will help you better understand the current conflict and what to expect next.
A new group of thinkers and activists calling themselves national conservatives believe American politics and policy questions increasingly invite a national approach. They seek to combat the left's attempt to bury our constitutional order and replace it with a matrix of identity politics, vast social spending, and other objectives.
Chris DeMuth, a leader of the national conservatism movement and former president of the American Enterprise Institute, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explore the main trends of American conservatism and what national conservatism brings to the discussion. Conservatism must move beyond, DeMuth argues, a fusionism that makes individual freedom the only end sought by policy and understand that culture, patriotism, community, and faith are equally important for policymaking.
On today's episode, we discuss the thinkers, ideas, and books that national conservatism offers amid current political challenges and debates: Should conservatism embrace a worker first set of policies—industrial policy, labor-union revival, and wage subsides? How would national conservatism navigate foreign policy? Is realism and restraint the best approach for American defense strategy in the 21st Century? What does national conservatism bring regarding health care, environmental, and education policies?
Our lively discussion also considers the post-liberal conservatives and how they fit or do not fit into national conservatism. Listen to the interview or read a lightly edited transcript at DailySignal.com.
