Everything Everywhere Daily - The French Origins of English

The English language is….different. 

Unlike other languages, English has borrowed and used words from a wide variety of other languages. 

However, no other language has had quite the influence that French has had. 

In fact, French was the language spoken by the kings and queens of England for centuries, and the rules of England couldn’t speak any English.

Learn more about the French influence on the English language and what English would look like without it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - Trump Blames Harris for Assassination Attempt

Donald Trump wastes no time blaming Kamala Harris and Joe Biden for the latest attempt on his life. JD Vance defends spreading lies about Haitian immigrants as a way to draw attention to border policy. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss how Democrats can respond to the blame game, and whether or not to make the pet-eating smears a campaign issue. Plus, Kamala Harris does more interviews, and the Trump family plunges into the crypto business.

NPR's Book of the Day - Venus Williams’ new book ‘Strive’ is a personal guide to physical and mental health

Tennis legend Venus Williams has a lot on her plate. There's her tennis career, of course, but also business pursuits in fashion, interior design, nail art and more. As a result, Williams says it can be difficult for her to find balance. In her new book Strive, she details eight steps she follows in pursuit of this balance between her mental, physical and emotional health. In today's episode, Williams speaks with NPR's Michel Martin about learning from an early-career loss at the U.S. Open, resting more and living with an autoimmune disease.

Chapo Trap House - 868 – Caddy-Shook feat. Ben Clarkson & Matt Bors (9/16/24)

Ben & Matt of the JUSTICE WARRIORS comic series join us this week. We look at the SECOND Trump assassination attempt in about as many months, Trump’s increasingly intimate relationship with Laura Loomer, and just his insane personal and political arc over the last few months. Then, more seriously, the continued blatant demagoguery around immigration stirred up by Republicans that Democrats and the Harris campaign seems unequipped to respond to. Finally, a few stories that seem to have crossed from the pages of Justice Warriors into reality.
