Everything Everywhere Daily - Yes, We have No Bananas

In the late 19th century, bananas, a fruit that had been popular for thousands of years suddenly became a mass-market sensation.


However, just a few decades after it was popularized, the industry had to completely change what was grown due to a pestilence. 


As a result, the bananas that most people eat today are very different than the bananas that everyone ate before the second world war.


Learn more about bananas, and why your grandparents didn’t eat the same kind, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Daily Signal - Douglas Murray Explains How We Can Win the War on the West

A fight is raging for the soul of the West.

Great civilizations basking in the legacy of the Enlightenment and heroic men such as George Washington and Winston Churchill find themselves faced with an internal enemy. Some citizens of America and Europe, furious about perceived failures of the past, have decided the best way forward is to tear it all down.

But to British writer and commentator Douglas Murray, author of the new book "The War on the West: How to Prevail in an Age of Unreason," the "games" of self-loathing have only one outcome: utter destruction.

"If we play those games, then yes, of course, it's over, and others will take our place, as they inevitably would if a civilization turns self-loathing," Murray says.

Thankfully, a solution is at hand.

"The deepest well we need to draw upon is to try to change around the culture of ingratitude," Murray says. "We in the West need to transform our societies from societies of resentment into societies of gratitude, to recognize that what we have is highly unusual, and to have some gratitude for that, to feel grateful to that. And if we feel grateful for that, then to add to that inheritance as well."

Murray joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss his book and offer specifics on winning the war on the West.

We also cover these stories:

  • Michael Sussmann, a lawyer for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, is found not guilty on charges of lying to the FBI.
  • President Biden says he has a plan to flight inflation.
  • Supreme Court clerks soon may be required to turn over private phone records as well as sign affidavits, sources say, as part of a probe into the leaked opinion in a landmark abortion case.
  • Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, who has dominated in women's events, speaks with ABC's "Good Morning America."

Amarica's Constitution - After Uvalde – What?

The nightmare of gun violence haunts America today. What can be done? So many Americans are aghast at assertions of gun rights in the face of absolute evil. It seems incomprehensible.  Our job it to render this domain legible, navigable, and at least potentially solvable. We begin in this episode with a review of the Constitutional landscape of rights in general, gun rights in particular, and we put an imminent Supreme Court decision on carrying arms in perspective. We also preview our next episode, which will feature an important guest who will do much the same clarification of the legislative world we will soon enter.

Short Wave - What Research Says About Mass Shootings

Parkland, Fla. Buffalo, NY. Uvalde, Texas. Every mass shooting in the U.S. raises calls for better policies to prevent such tragedies. There's evidence suggesting that certain kinds of laws may reduce deaths from mass shootings, say scientists who study the field — but those policy options are not the ones usually discussed in the wake of these events. Furthermore, the amount of resources devoted to studying gun violence is paltry compared to its public health impact.

In her new book of essays, Translating Myself and Others, Lahiri writes about the ways in which she herself has lived between worlds, and the other kind of writing she does: translation. In an interview with All Things Considered, Lahiri spoke to Mary Louise Kelly about how her relationship to language changed with translation and how it ultimately made her a better writer.
