Time To Say Goodbye - “Everything Everywhere All At Once” deep dive

Hello from the Betaverse!

This week, we briefly touch on headline news from Asia: that a jet-lagged Biden pledged military support for Taiwan against China—a comment the State Department is now trying to walk back, lol.

Then, onto the main event: a deep-dive on the new film, Everything Everywhere All At Once, starring Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ke Huy Quan, and Stephanie Hsu, directed by the Daniels. And yes, we spoil it!

Why did one of the hosts hate it? Were the martial arts any good? Was the ending satisfying? And is EEAAO an “Asian American” movie? All this and more in a very long, very in-depth episode.

The Daily Signal - With Beijing Breathing Down Taiwan’s Neck, What Signal Did Biden Just Send?

In Japan on Monday, President Joe Biden seemingly departed from previous American policy regarding Taiwan, announcing that the U.S. would militarily defend the tiny island nation if China were to invade.

Walter Lohman, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Asian Studies Center, says Biden's statement was a huge mistake.

"We want to keep the Chinese guessing about what the United States would do," he says of the long-standing policy of "strategic ambiguity."

Lohman joins the show to discuss what the implications of this seeming shift in policy would be, and what Beijing’s aims are regarding Taiwan.

We also cover these stories:

  • Following Democrats' claims that new election laws in Georgia would depress voter turnout, more Georgians are voting ahead of Tuesday's primaries than ever.
  • Biden says he doesn't think monkeypox will be as serious as COVID-19.
  • An early draft of a letter sent to the president by the National School Boards Association suggests the group planned to ask that the Army National Guard and military police be sent to certain school districts to handle parents protesting mandatory masking and controversial curriculums.
  • State Farm insurance company is encouraging employees to donate books on transgenderism to local schools and libraries in Florida and elsewhere around the country.

The leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion on Roe v. Wade earlier this month has reignited debates about the power and reach of the highest court in the country. In his new book, Our Unfinished March, former Attorney General Eric Holder argues in favor of reforms, such as term limits and streamlining appointments, that he says would protect minorities. In an interview with Michel Martin on All Things Considered, Holder talks about how citizens can also take part by being active and engaged in politics locally.
