Everything Everywhere Daily - The Knights of Malta

In the early 11th century, a group of merchants from the Amalfi Coast of Italy received permission from the Caliph of Egypt to rebuild a church and hospital in Jerusalem to care for pilgrims to the Holy Land. 

They called themselves The Order of St. John of Jerusalem. 

Fast forward almost one thousand years later, and this group still exist. Not only do they still exist, but they have a unique status in the world of international diplomacy.

Learn more about the Knights of Malta and their thousand-year history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Border Experts Tom Homan and Mark Morgan Explain How Cartels Exploit Biden’s Policies to Their Advantage

No migrant crosses America’s border from Mexico illegally without the cartel’s consent, according to Tom Homan, the former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.  When migrants don’t have the money to pay what the cartels demand, they fall prey to trafficking.  


Homan and Mark Morgan, former acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, join the show from the Conservative Political Action Conference to explain how the Mexican cartels are using Biden administration policies to their advantage.

Short Wave - The Race To Save A Tree Species

The whitebark pine is a hardy tree that grows in an area stretching from British Columbia, Canada south to parts of California and east to Montana. It's a keystone species in its subalpine and timberline ecosystems and plays an outsized role in its interactions with other species and the land — feeding and providing habitat for other animals, and providing shade to slow glacial melt to the valleys below. But it's increasingly threatened — by more intense fires, by mountain pine beetle infestations and by a deadly fungus called blister rust. Today, producer Berly McCoy takes the microphone to share the ongoing efforts by reforestation forester ShiNaasha Pete and others to save this important species.

Amarica's Constitution - Sing a Song (of) Mike Pence

Former Vice President Mike Pence has received subpoenas from Special Counsel Jack Smith.  Pence claims that he has grounds to challenge this subpoena; he locates this in the so-called “speech and debate” clause, and some claim that executive privilege is relevant as well.  We examine these clauses and doctrines deeply and offer our own conclusions on this issue.  Speaking of doctrines, the Supreme Court has brought the “major questions” doctrine out once again in the student debt case, and we look at that.  We also take a deeper dive on questions of standing - how do states have the ability to appear in court challenging this presidential action?  It may not surprise you to hear that Akhil wrote a relevant article, over 30 years ago.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘All the Beauty in the World’ is a museum guard’s view on healing through art

Patrick Bringley worked in events planning at The New Yorker – until his older brother got diagnosed with cancer and passed away. That loss led to a reimagining of priorities for Bringley, who decided to seek solace in one of the most beautiful places he could think of: The Metropolitan Museum of Art. His new memoir, All the Beauty in the World, retraces his journey to becoming a museum guard and finding refuge in the works of art he saw each day. And as he tells NPR's Scott Simon, he also encountered a lot of joy in watching the people who visited.
