The Daily Signal - Documents Reveal Collusion Between CDC, Big Tech
New documents obtained by the America First Legal Foundation have revealed deep collusion between officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its allies in Big Tech to silence dissenting voices.
The documents lay bare efforts by government officials to push social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to censor so-called medical misinformation.
John Zadrozny, deputy director of investigations at the America First Legal Foundation, joins the show to discuss how deep the collusion goes, and what it all means.

- Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., dies in a car accident.

NPR's Book of the Day - Family pets and complicated emotions in two children’s books
Today, two children's books that touch on a little bit of everything: from pets and illustrations to managing complicated emotions. First, Ian Falconer talks about his new book Two Dogs, a story inspired by his sister's dachshunds. In an interview with Ailsa Chang on All Things Considered, Falconer spoke about the deeper message – or lack thereof – of his work.

In an interview with Here and Now's Peter O'Dowd, McDaniels spoke about using books to teach kids about adult feelings.
Short Wave - A Tale Of Two Parks And The Bats Within Them
Buckle up! Short Wave is going on a road trip every Friday this summer. In this first episode of our series on the research happening in the National Park system, we head to Shenandoah National Park and the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. Some bats there are faring better than others against white-nose syndrome, a fungus that has killed more than 7 million bats in the last decade. Today — what researchers like Jesse De La Cruz think is enabling some bat species to survive.

The Gist - Disagreeing On De-policing
Policing in America has no easy answers, but my guest Rafael A. Mangual suggests we aren’t even asking the right questions. He’s of the opinion that many beliefs critical of police are misplaced, while other real reforms go un pursued. His book is Criminal (In)Justice: What The Push For Decarceration And Depolicing Gets Wrong And Who It Hurts Most. Plus, charging the cops who really were responsible for the death of Breonna Taylor. And the Kansas abortion vote doesn’t mean everything has changed for November, but it does mean the Republicans face an issue that really puts them at odds with voters.

Matt discusses the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a rebel state that existed in China from 1851-1864. The rebellion was organized around the landless Hakka people by Hong Xiuquan who, after failing his bureaucratic entrance exams, had a nervous breakdown that led him to believe he was the brother of Jesus Christ. Matt tracks the rise and fall of the kingdom, and how it fits in other proto-socialist movements, and the resonances with the Mormon history he laid out on the last two episodes of the Inebriated Past.
