Everything Everywhere Daily - The Atacama Desert

Situated in the north of the nation of Chile lies one of the most extreme environments on Planet Earth. The Atacama Desert. 


What makes the Atacama Desert so unique isn’t its size or its temperature, it is the amount of precipitation it gets….or rather the lack thereof. 


It is precipitation that defines what a desert is, and by that logic, the Atacama is the most desert-y of all the deserts. 


Learn more about the Atacama Desert and what makes it so different and special, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Daily Signal - What Maya Flores Victory Shows About Hispanics and Conservatism

Republican Mayra Flores made history on Tuesday, winning a South Texas congressional seat that had been occupied by Democrats for more than 100 years. The district, which is largely populated by Latinos on the southern border, went for President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

So how did Flores win?

"I think this speaks to Ronald Reagan's message of Hispanics are Republican, they just don't know it yet," says Cesar Ybarra, vice president of policy at FreedomWorks. "Republicans have been doing a better job at explaining the Republican Party platform to Hispanic voters. This has been amplified just by the terrible job that President Biden and the congressional Democrats have been doing with the economy."

Ybarra thinks that Flores victory is the beginning of a resurgent GOP making inroads with minority voters, but that it will take time.

"Big changes don't happen in two years, in four years. We've got to look at the long game," he says. "And what happens in politics too often is we get so bogged down in winning the day and winning the week that we forget about where we want to be in 2025, where we want to be in 2030."

Ybarra joins the show to discuss the increasing shift of Latino voters from the Democrat party to the GOP, and what this means for future elections. 

We also cover these stories:

  • In May, there were 222,000 border apprehensions outside of official ports of entry, a new record.
  • The average 30-year mortgage rate rises to 5.78%, the highest level since 2008.
  • A group of conservative leaders writes a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Kristen Clarke about ongoing violence against crisis pregnancy centers and churches.

NPR's Book of the Day - Two books on fatherhood to help celebrate Sunday

Father's Day is this Sunday, giving us a good opportunity to reflect not only the art of fatherhood but also on the struggles that come after dads leave us. First, Helen McDonald talks to Robin Young on Here and Now about grieving her father's death by training a hawk – and finding her path again after grief. Then, Keggie Carew discusses her memoir Dadland, which talks about her relationship with her father, his fascinating stories from his time as a spy, and his struggle with dementia. In a way, these two nostalgic interviews are an invitation to give fathers their due, especially when they're still around.
