In which tensions over slavery and its westward expansion boil over into an assault on the floor of the United States Senate, and Ken does not have a single cloak. Certificate #46116.

On the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration Of Human Rights, we look into the phenomenon of caring for things outside of ourselves – whether it’s human rights, the environment, or even odd sports.
Like countless other migrants from China, Hugo Wong’s great-grandfathers–Wong Foon Chuck and Leung Hing–travel across the Pacific to make a life for themselves in San Francisco. Unlike many of their peers, they don’t stay, instead traveling south, to Mexico–in part to escape growing anti-Chinese prejudice in the United States.
They thrive, at least initially, in Mexico, as Hugo explains in his book America's Lost Chinese: The Rise and Fall of a Migrant Family Dream (Hurst, 2023). They assimilate and become upstanding members of the Mexican business community–only for things to fall apart during the Mexican Revolution.
In this interview, Hugo and I talk about his great-grandfathers, why they decided to make a life in Mexico, and the lost history of Chinese migration to this Latin American country.
Hugo Wong grew up between Paris and Mexico City. From the early 1990s, he has lived almost fifteen years in Greater China, including in Beijing, where he has helped found various Sino–foreign joint ventures, such as China’s first investment bank. He has built his career in emerging markets investing at major financial institutions in Hong Kong, London and New York.

When humans first learned how to work with metal, the very first metal they used was copper.
Copper was easy to shape, easy to find, and relatively abundant.
Since those early humans began using copper, usage of the metal hasn’t diminished. It's just that its modern usage is for purposes that the ancient never could have imagined.
Learn more about copper and its many uses throughout history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday announced that it will hear a case challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the commonly used abortion medication mifepristone. The justices also agreed to review the scope of an obstruction law that has been applied to hundreds of felony prosecutions of insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6th.
Last week, the House passed a resolution that equated anti-Zionism with antisemitism. And on Wednesday, the House voted to pass a resolution condemning antisemitism on college campuses. We’re joined by Beth Miller from Jewish Voice for Peace to learn more about the difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism.
And in headlines: House Republicans voted to formally open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, nearly 200 countries at the COP28 Summit agreed to transition away from fossil fuels, and Tesla recalled nearly all two million of its vehicles in the U.S.

David Newman sent a text to a friend the morning of Oct. 7. Something terrible had happened. Word quickly spread among Newman’s group of friends, who had known each other since high school.
Newman had traveled to the music festival close to the border of Gaza on Friday night. It was supposed to be a fun weekend with his girlfriend “celebrating life,” something Newman was very good at and loved to do, according to friend Gidon Hazony.
Hazony later learned that Hamas had murdered Newman, 25, on Oct. 7, but not before saving nearly 300 lives, including the life of his girlfriend.
Newman’s actions that day, and the atrocities Hazony and so many in Israel witnessed on Oct. 7, led Hazony, David Gani, and several of their friends to quit their jobs and start a nonprofit called Soldiers Saves Lives. The organization is working to collect tactical and humanitarian aid for Israel Defense Forces.
According to the group’s website, they have supplied more than 20 “IDF units and civilian response teams with protective and self-defense gear.”
Gani, who serves as board chair and CFO/CTO of Soldiers Save Lives, and Hazony, president of the organization, recently traveled to Washington D.C. to raise support and awareness for their mission to provide IDF soldiers with needed supplies. They join the podcast today to explain how to partner with them, and to honor the legacy Newman leaves behind.
