Everything Everywhere Daily - The Silurian Hypothesis (Encore)

The universe is billions of years old. 

If, in the future, humanity were to explore the galaxy and visit other planets around other stars, we might be visiting places where at one time, an advanced civilization once existed. 

However, if such a civilization existed, it might have been millions of years in the past. If that was the case, how would we even know that it existed? 

Also, what if we ask that same question of Earth rather than of alien worlds?

Learn more about the Silurian Hypothesis on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - Republicans Beg Trump to Be New Person

More and more Republicans are asking Donald Trump if it might be possible for him to stop the personal attacks on Kamala Harris and focus on a persuasive message. His answer? Absolutely not. In yet another country club press conference, Trump says he's "entitled to personal attacks" because he doesn't respect Harris, calls her stupid, and rants about communists. Meanwhile, Harris and Joe Biden hold their first joint event since Biden stepped down from the race, and it's full of good policy and good vibes. Plus, Tim Walz talks tacos, and RFK Jr. might be looking for an exit strategy.
