Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with America’s inflation crisis, the Fed’s efforts to combat it, and the resulting bear market. Then the hosts turn to the recent discourse around the alleged societal harms of marijuana use, the attempt on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s life, the showdown between the Biden administration and charter schools, and the potentially shifting tide of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Finally, we wrap up with a Eurotrip edition of Ravi’s wild ideas.[1:45] Inflation/Economy[10:06] Marijuana Legalization[24:25] Kavanaugh Attack[29:18] Charter Schools & Biden[34:40] War in Ukraine[39:05] Ravi's IdeaCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/06/17/ep-55/Subscribe to The Lost Debate’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTFSticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debateiheart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debateLOST DEBATE ON SOCIAL:Follow Lost Debate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebateFollow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelostdebate

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with the recall vote that ousted San Francisco’s progressive DA, Chesa Boudin before turning to NYC’s plans to throw a couple casinos in the concrete jungle and Ilya Shapiro resigning from Georgetown. Then we turn to a lengthy debate on California’s reparations task force, debating whether America can redress the legacies of slavery and the best proposals to try. Finally, we wrap up with an update on bipartisan gun reform talks in the Senate and our weekly check-in with Ravi’s somewhat radical ideas (spoiler: this one’s pretty reasonable). [1:50] Boudin Recall[14:37] NYC Casinos[20:30] Ilya Shapiro[25:00] Reparations[35:45] Gun Reform[41:48] Ravi's IdeaCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/06/10/ep-54/Subscribe to The Lost Debate’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTFSticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debateiheart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debateLOST DEBATE ON SOCIAL:Follow Lost Debate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebateFollow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelostdebate

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with all the fallout from the double-edged defamation trial that captured a nation: Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Then the hosts tour the campus of a Facebook-funded “Metaversity” before talking about real classrooms and how many students should be in each one, new charges for the Proud Boys over their role on January 6, the Biden administration’s reversal on Saudi Arabia, New York’s moratorium on PoW crypto mining, and most importantly of all: rescue rats. [2:04] Depp/Heard Fallout[14:40] Metaversities[19:00] Class Size[26:39] Proud Boys Sedition Charges[29:15] Saudi Oil Diplomacy[36:18] Crypto Mining[43:35] Rescue RatsCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/06/08/ep-53/Subscribe to The Lost Debate’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTFSticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debateiheart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debateLOST DEBATE ON SOCIAL:Follow Lost Debate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebateFollow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelostdebate

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start by checking in on the slowing work-from-home trend before turning to a growing one: the rise of Buy Now, Pay Later. We then turn to the Biden administration’s approach to inflation and one of the thorniest longstanding debates all around the world: whether sex work should be legalized. Finally, we take a look at some sobering testimonials from school counselors and hear from Ravi on his weekly out-there idea.[1:00] Work from Home Trends[8:30] Buy Now, Pay Later[15:42] Yellen/Biden/Inflation[18:26] Sex Work[30:25] School Counselor Data[39:15] Ravi's Radical IdeaCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/06/04/ep-52/Subscribe to The Lost Debate’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTFSticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debateiheart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debateLOST DEBATE ON SOCIAL:Follow Lost Debate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebateFollow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelostdebate

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with the outrage over the police response to the Uvalde school shooting, as new details emerge about the timeline of that tragedy. They then turn to the latest revelations from the Durham probe and whether it’s yet produced the smoking gun some outlets have asserted in the last week. Rikki walks us through the Supreme Court’s intensifying investigation into who leaked the draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, and Ravi explains what the hell is going on with the housing market.[1:15] Uvalde Shootime Timeline[13:20] Hillary and Russiagate[26:20] SCOTUS Probe[30:10] Housing MarketCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/06/01/ep-51/Subscribe to The Lost Debate’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTFSticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debateiheart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debateLOST DEBATE ON SOCIAL:Follow Lost Debate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebateFollow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelostdebate

"School choice" is among the most politicized phrases in America, mainly because it means different things to different people. Charter schools are at the heart of that divisive debate, pitting progressives and conservatives against one another in a shouting match over what "choice" truly means and who deserves to have it. Ravi sits down with Shavar Jeffries, the president of Democrats for Education Reform, to talk about fighting for charter schools, the many progressives who resist school choice, the sweeping influence of teachers unions, and the most important factor in this and all discussions of education: what's best for students.Subscribe to The Lost Debate’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTFSticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debateiheart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debateLOST DEBATE ON SOCIAL:Follow Lost Debate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebateFollow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelostdebate

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with the horrific school shooting in Texas, leaving 21 people dead: 19 of them, only 4th graders. The hosts address the resulting gun reform debate playing out across America before turning to another heated reform discussion: police accountability. We go through Biden’s new executive order and whether it’s a template worth applying on a wider scale. Then we jump into Florida’s soundly rejected social media free speech law, drawing the ire of Gov. DeSantis. Finally, we wrap up with a little politics roundup: chaotic new maps in New York, a mixed bag for Trump in Georgia, and modern-day hanging chads in Pennsylvania. [1:10] Texas Shooting / Gun Control[24:09] Police Reform[31:34] Florida Social Media[38:55] Ravi's Radical Idea[44:15] New York Maps and PrimariesCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/05/27/ep-50/Subscribe to The Lost Debate’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTFSticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debateiheart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debateLOST DEBATE ON SOCIAL:Follow Lost Debate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebateFollow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelostdebate

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start by explaining why there’s no cause for panic with the latest virus making headlines: monkeypox. The hosts then turn to the war in Ukraine and the looming global food shortage that threatens to result, as well as the new bipartisan bill aiming to break up Google’s advertising business. Cory walks us through the public spat over college football’s new “campaign finance” system: NIL deals. And finally, we react to the man who tackled Dave Chappelle on stage giving his side of the story. [1:10] Monkeypox[5:48] Ukraine Update[8:11] Food Shortage[13:54] College Football[23:26] Google Antitrust[35:10] Chapelle AttackerCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/05/25/ep-49/Subscribe to The Lost Debate’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTFSticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debateiheart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debateLOST DEBATE ON SOCIAL:Follow Lost Debate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebateFollow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelostdebate

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start on Netflix laying out a standard: they’re going to keep publishing content that some of their employees might disagree with. Then we turn to Tuesday’s primary races and what we should take from the results in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and others. Rikki updates us on the DHS pausing its much-criticized “Disinformation Governance Board,” Ravi pitches a wild idea, and the hosts take a look at private equity’s growing influence over the economy. Finally, we peer up at the night sky – and at Congress – to talk about this week’s hearings on UFOs (sorry, UAP).[1:00] Netflix Layoffs Update[7:35] Primaries[14:43] Biden’s Disinformation Board[25:21] Private Equity[36:27] ALIENSCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/05/20/ep-48/Subscribe to The Lost Debate’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTFSticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debateiheart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debateLOST DEBATE ON SOCIAL:Follow Lost Debate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebateFollow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelostdebate

 Ravi, Cory, and Rikki begin with the racist mass shooting in Buffalo, laying out what we know about the suspected gunman’s motivations and the prevalence of his ideology in American society. We then discuss the fentanyl crisis and how it’s driving drug overdose deaths to record highs before turning to Elon’s on-again, off-again Twitter buyout, the root causes and political uproar around the shortage in baby formula, and the ACT coming out against grade inflation. [1:12] Buffalo Shooting[15:07] Drug Overdoses[25:03] Baby Formula Shortage[37:35] Grade InflationCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/05/18/ep-47/Subscribe to The Lost Debate’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTFSticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debateiheart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debateLOST DEBATE ON SOCIAL:Follow Lost Debate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebateFollow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelostdebate
