Everything Everywhere Daily - Questions and Answers: Volume 3

Ladies and Gentlemen of the podcast audience, I would like you to consider Chewbacca. 

Chewbacca is an 8-foot-tall Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the moon of Endor.

Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks?

It makes no sense. 

Why am I talking about Chewbacca in the introduction of this podcast? It makes no sense. 

Soooo, let's do questions and answers volume 3 on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Franziska Exeler, “Ghosts of War: Nazi Occupation and Its Aftermath in Soviet Belarus” (Cornell UP, 2022)

How do states and societies confront the legacies of war and occupation, and what do truth, guilt, and justice mean in that process? 

In Ghosts of War: Nazi Occupation and Its Aftermath in Soviet Belarus (Cornell UP, 2022), Franziska Exeler examines people's wartime choices and their aftermath in Belarus, a war-ravaged Soviet republic that was under Nazi occupation during the Second World War.

After the Red Army reestablished control over Belarus, one question shaped encounters between the returning Soviet authorities and those who had lived under Nazi rule, between soldiers and family members, reevacuees and colleagues, Holocaust survivors and their neighbors: What did you do during the war?

Ghosts of War analyzes the prosecution and punishment of Soviet citizens accused of wartime collaboration with the Nazis and shows how individuals sought justice, revenge, or assistance from neighbors and courts. The book uncovers the many absences, silences, and conflicts that were never resolved, as well as the truths that could only be spoken in private, yet it also investigates the extent to which individuals accommodated, contested, and reshaped official Soviet war memory. The result is a gripping examination of how efforts at coming to terms with the past played out within, and at times through, a dictatorship.

Jill Massino is a scholar of modern Eastern Europe with a focus on Romania, gender, and everyday life.

What A Day - Kevin’s 11

Once again, Rep. Kevin McCarthy failed to secure the votes he needed in the eleventh round of voting for Speaker of the House – even after offering new concessions to the far-right Republicans who continue to oppose him.

President Biden announced a major change to border policy, aimed at discouraging migrants from entering the U.S. from Mexico. It expands on a pandemic-era program used by the Trump administration to expel migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Venezuela who illegally cross the southern border.

And in headlines: South Carolina’s Supreme Court overturned the state’s six-week abortion ban, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin's condition is improving, and the Federal Trade Commission proposed a ban on non-compete clauses in job contracts.

The Daily Signal - Why What’s Happening on Capitol Hill Is ‘a Healthy Process’

The speaker of the House has yet to be chosen after three days and eleven rounds of voting. 

So, how long can this go on?

"That's a great question, and I think one that many in Washington, D.C., are contemplating, us, people on the Hill, staff members of members themselves. But the short answer is it can go on for as long as it takes," Ryan Walker, vice president of government relations for Heritage Action, the grassroots arm of The Heritage Foundation, says. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s news outlet.)

"Now, we don't have much history or immediate history with this process because the last time that this happened was nearly 100 years ago, so it's relatively new, but I think this is how the system was designed," Walker says.

Walker joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to further discuss the speaker of the House race, his thoughts on Rep. Matt Gaetz voting for former President Donald Trump in the seventh round of voting on Thursday, and whether or not you have to be a member of Congress to run for the speaker position.
