One of the most important inventions of early humans was the compass. The compass has aided human navigation around the Earth for centuries.Â
Despite being a critical technology in the development of transportation, it actually took centuries between its discovery of its underlying principles and its eventual use as a practical tool for navigation.Â
Despite their origins over 2,000 years ago, they are still a vital tool today.Â
Learn more about the compass and how it helped humanity find its way on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
In this episode, Rivers welcomes three hilarious friends, comedians Brandie Posey, Kyle Clark, and Seth Pomeroy, back to Disgraceland for what is fast becoming a favorite annual tradition; exploring an entire year of news and pop culture.

Behold the history of a film so scandalous, so outrageous, so explosive it disappeared from print for over a quarter century! A film so dangerous, half its cast and crew met their demise bringing eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes’ final cinematic vision to life! Starring All-American legend John Wayne in full Fu Manchu make-up as Mongol madman Genghis Khan! Featuring sultry seductress Susan Hayward as his lover!Â
Killing John Wayne (Lyons Press, 2021) is the true story of The Conqueror (1956), the worst movie ever made. Filmed during the dark underbelly of the 1950s—the Cold War—when nuclear testing in desolate southwestern landscapes was a must for survival, the very same landscapes were where exotic stories set in faraway lands could be made. Just 153 miles from the St. George, Utah, set, nuclear bombs were detonated regularly at Yucca Flat and Frenchman Flat in Nevada, providing a bizarre and possibly deadly background to an already surreal moment in cinema history. This book tells the full story of the making of The Conqueror, its ignominious aftermath, and the radiation induced cancer that may have killed John Wayne and many others.

A group associated with far-left billionaire George Soros is taking over 18 Spanish-language radio stations, including the iconic conservative talk station Radio Mambi.Â
“It's a stab in the heart of the community,” says Lourdes Ubieta, a former host at Radio Mambi.Â
Radio Mambi gained a reputation “as a station that serves the Cuban exile community,” Ubieta says, because it spoke openly about the harms of socialism and communism.Â
When Ubieta and her colleague Dania Alexandrino learned that Radio Mambi was going to be part of the new Latino Media Network, they determined it was time to leave. The new network reportedly is funded primarily by Lakestar Finance, an entity affiliated with Soros Fund Management.
"These people from the left, these Democrats, they believe that [by] buying these 18 radio stations, somehow they can control the opinion they deliver [to] the Hispanic community," Ubieta says.
Ubieta and Alexandrino join this episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain why the left is targeting conservative Spanish-language media and how Americano Media is working to furthering the values of faith, family, and patriotism.
Also on today’s show, we cover these stories:
