Even if you are not a fan, you are likely familiar with classical music to some extent. 

You’ve heard it in movies, television commercials, and sometimes in concerts.

Learn more about classical music and the basics you need to know to appreciate it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - Can Democrats Win a Shutdown Fight?

A government shutdown appears inevitable after Democratic leaders and President Trump fail to reach a deal to extend soon-to-expire Affordable Care Act subsidies. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss what Democrats will need to do to win this shutdown fight and then check in on the latest from Trump's authoritarian takeover, including the political prosecution of James Comey, Trump's deployment of troops to Portland, and a terrifying new national security directive that targets left-wing organizations, funders, and beliefs. Then, the guys discuss Trump's 20-point peace plan to end the war in Gaza and the peculiar AI-generated video about "medbeds" the President posted on Truth Social over the weekend.
