On July 16, 1945, at 5:29 am, 35 miles southwest of Socorro, New Mexico, the world’s first nuclear bomb was detonated. 


This was the culmination of the Manhattan Project, one of the largest, and most expensive programs in world history. 


Yet, just before the event, the scientists and engineers who worked on the project weren’t entirely sure it would work, and if it did, just what the results would be. 


Learn more about the Trinity Test, the world's first nuclear detonation, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Daily Signal - Arizona AG Mark Brnovich Fights for Trump’s Immigration Rule at Supreme Court

Illegal immigration is taking the spotlight at the Supreme Court.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich argued Wednesday before the nine justices in favor of former President Donald Trump’s "public charge" rule. That rule, based on a concept that goes back to 1882, would prevent illegal immigrants from gaining citizenship if they use too many social services such as food stamps or Medicaid.

In Brnovich's words, it's only fair that hardworking Americans get priority over those "cutting the line."

"I just think that a lot of folks, hardworking, middle-class taxpayers in our country, not just in Arizona, all over, understand what's fair is what's fair," Brnovich says. "It's not fair for someone to come in and basically cut in line and then get government benefits."

Brnovich, a Republican, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss how the Supreme Court arguments went, and what the "public charge" rule means for our immigration system.

We also cover these stories:

  • The United States warns that Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine could result in a massive refugee crisis as well as threaten international security.
  • Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announces that as of Feb. 28, the city for the most part no longer will mandate masking or require proof of vaccination against COVID-19 for restaurants and other indoor businesses.
  • Viewership ratings for the 2022 Beijing Olympics show it was the lowest-viewed in the televised history of the games.

The Gist - A Big, Long War

Chris Miller, author of Putinomics: Power and Money in Resurgent Russia says Putin is out for blood

Putin has said he's rolling into Ukraine to de-Nazify the country which fought the Nazis and whose president is a Jew. But Putin doesn't even care what he says, he cares where he bombs. And in the Spiel the importance of a great nation unable to prevent one war speaks poorly of the same nation unwilling to stop another.

Short Wave - Schedule Those Doctor’s Appointments!

The pandemic is at a turning point. Hospitalizations in this country are down. Deaths are starting to decline. Some of the states that have had the strictest COVID restrictions are starting to dial back. With fewer cases, and more tools to manage COVID, we can start putting more focus on other diseases again. Doctors are encouraging patients to get the checkups they've been holding off on.

NPR science correspondent Allison Aubrey talks about the future of masking, virus detection and routine preventive care that has been ignored during this pandemic.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Girl, Woman, Other’ celebrates Black British women

Bernardine Evaristo didn't think there were enough books being published about Black British women, so she wrote one herself. Girl, Woman, Other looks at the lives of many different British women, mostly Black women, from 19 to 93 years old. Some of their stories intertwine while others stay separate. Evaristo told NPR's Scott Simon that she wanted "to show the heterogeneity of who we are in this society, and to explore us as fully realized, complex, driven, flawed individuals whose stories are as worthy of telling as anyone else's."

The Gist - Police and Prostitutes in South Africa

Sex work in South Africa is a hazard because the policing is haphazard.

American Law Professor I India Thusi studied sex workers in South Africa, narrowly escaping some entanglements along the way. Plus, the 14-year-old mistake made by an American President that contributed to the war in Ukraine. And a congressional candidate has a believable reason for vomiting on 12-year-olds at a sleep over. Might it be that when she was 12 no one invited her to a sleep over? No, it's mixing drugs and wine.
