Everything Everywhere Daily - The 1812 Overture
In 1880, the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was commissioned to compose a work in honor of the completion of a new cathedral.
What he wrote became one of the best known, over the top, and difficult to produce pieces of music in history. Despite its popularity almost 150 years later, the composer actually thought it was one of his worst works.
Learn more about the 1812 Overture, how it was created, and just how crazy it actually is to properly perform, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Daily Signal - A Preview of What Happens at State Level If Roe v. Wade Falls
What will happen at the state level if the Supreme Court overturns its 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade? Can we expect more lawsuits like those we've seen in Kentucky and other states that recently passed pro-life legislation?
Americans are waiting for the Supreme Court to announce its ruling in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which could overturn Roe and send the issue of abortion back to the states to regulate.
In anticipation of a change in federal abortion law, pro-life leaders are seeing a “ton of activity at the states,” says Sarah Parshall Perry, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation. (The Daily Signal is Heritage's multimedia news organization.)
Perry joins this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain what likely will happen in conservative and liberal states across the country if the high court strikes down Roe.
Also on today's show, we cover these stories:
- President Joe Biden calls on Congress to pass supplemental funding to the tune of $33 billion to continue aide to Ukraine.
- Student loan debt relief is back on the table for the Biden administration.
- Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas faces tough questions from Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee.
