Everything Everywhere Daily - The Petrodollar System

On August 15, 1971, US President Richard Nixon ended the gold convertibility of the US Dollar and simultaneously ended the Bretton Woods System, which had governed international monetary policy since the end of the Second World War.


The system which replaced Bretton Woods wasn’t built on formal treaties and conferences. It was a highly informal system that, for the most part, still exists today.


Learn more about the petrodollar system, how it came to be, and how it works on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What A Day - An Abortion Access Win For Michigan

President Biden traveled to Buffalo, New York, yesterday to speak with the families of victims of the white supremacist mass shooting, as well as other community members. Without invoking any particular names, Biden also referenced political and media figures who have attempted to gain from spreading the racist lie of the so-called “replacement theory.”

A judge in Michigan temporarily blocked the state’s nearly century-old abortion ban from going back into effect if Roe v. Wade is overturned. Michigan is one of nine states with one of these pre-Roe-era abortion bans on their books.

And in headlines: a senior Trump official met with two prominent activists from the ‘Stop The Steal Movement’ on January 6th, children aged 5 to 11 can now get COVID vaccine boosters, and federal lawmakers held the first congressional hearing about UFOs in over 50 years.

The Daily Signal - New Mexico’s Rep. Yvette Herrell Shares GOP Solution to Border Crisis

The crisis on our southern border has never been worse. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants have crossed into America, and violent cartel members import drugs and violence into our cities.

The Biden administration thus far has failed to seriously address the crisis.

"This really is a frightening scenario for us to be watching play out, and the administration could actually stop it, but they just haven't had the political will," says Rep. Yvette Herrell, a Republican who represents New Mexico's 2nd Congressional District, which borders on Mexico and is the fifth-largest House district in area in the nation.

Herrell joins the show to discuss what the GOP plans to do to address the illegal immigration crisis, and how a Republican-controlled House and Senate would push back against the Biden administration's worst instincts.

We also cover these stories:

  • Speaking in Buffalo, New York, the scene Saturday of a deadly mass shooting, President Joe Biden calls white supremacy a “poison” in the U.S. and condemns those who spread the "great replacement theory."
  • A federal district court judge rules that religious employers and health care providers can’t be forced by the Biden administration to pay for or perform transgender medical procedures.
  • Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., is booed during a university commencement speech after claiming the “existence of two sexes” is a “fundamental scientific truth."
  • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs legislation banning picketing and protesting outside individuals' homes.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - No Lone Wolves

A shooting Saturday at a supermarket in a predominantly-Black neighborhood in Buffalo left at least 10 people dead and three more injured. The suspected shooter left a manifesto riddled with racist ideology, laying out plans to specifically target Black people and citing the so-called “great replacement theory” as his motivation. 


How much will white supremacist violence be a part of the everyday lives of Americans — and what’s being done to stop it?


Guest: Wesley Lowery, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist covering race in America.

Amarica's Constitution - After Dobbs

Our recent podcasts, and their discussions of the constitutional landscape that will follow the release of the Dobbs opinion, have been heard, amplified, distorted, echoed, and - of course - tweeted in forms true and unrecognizable.  We were the impetus for a lead op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, the subject of various blogs, and the target of innumerable media posts.  Nevertheless, we carry on, looking at key precedents and their future, analyzing Justice Alito’s framework for evaluating unenumerated rights, and beginning to think about how it might happen that Alito may not have the last word in this case.
