The Daily Signal - Rep. Michael McCaul Assesses Threat China, Russia Pose to US

What danger does China actually pose to America? How closely are China and Russia working together? Is the Biden administration doing enough to prepare for foreign policy threats? 


America and China are in a “global competition for economic and military dominance,” says Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas. 


If America does not take strategic action now, our children will be the ones bearing the burden of that tension between China and America, the Texas lawmaker says. 


McCaul, the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how Russia and China view America right now, and how the U.S. can take steps to prepare for international threats. 


We also cover these stories:

  • President Joe Biden outlines additional steps the U.S. could take as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues.
  • NATO calls on China to stop supporting Russian "war efforts" in Ukraine and instead use its "significant influence" to push for peace.
  • California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs legislation forcing insurance companies to pick up more of the costs of abortions.


Enjoy the show!

Our main segment today is a breakdown of Google's massive scheme to keep tons of documents privileged inappropriately. It's a fun deep-dive full of bad documents! Before that, we quickly go over the disgusting attempts to discredit KBJ by Senate Republicans. And, believe it or not, a GOOD NEWS segment about Lia Thomas!

NPR's Book of the Day - Karen Dawisha and Marie Yovanovitch provide a deeper look at Russia’s war in Ukraine

It's been nearly a month since Vladimir Putin attacked Ukraine, so we are taking another look at how we got here. First, an interview from 2014 with the late political scientist Karen Dawisha on how Putin and his cronies became so fabulously wealthy. She told NPR's Arun Rath that leveling economic sanctions would have been effective because Putin expected military action instead. Second, we have a new memoir from Marie Yovanovitch who was ousted as ambassador to Ukraine by President Trump and played a key role in his impeachment. She told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly it was a painful experience.

Short Wave - Hal Walker: The Man Who Shot The Moon

In addition to flying, landing, and returning from the moon in 1969 — NASA's Apollo 11 crew helped with a series of scientific experiments. One of them was to leave a special instrument with lots of little reflectors on the surface of the moon. The goal of that experiment was to beam a laser at the moon. Today on the show, Scientist-In-Residence Regina G. Barber talks to host Aaron Scott about the lunar laser ranging experiment — and how shooting that laser helped us better understand one of Einstein's theories.

Follow Aaron on Twitter @AaronScottNPR and Regina @ScienceRegina. Reach the show by beaming an email to ShortWave@NPR.org.
