Lost Debate

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start by discussing a conversation taking over the internet right now: which political party has changed more in the last few decades, Democrats or Republicans? Then we turn to the chaos in the stock market and the leftward drift of the ACLU before wrapping up with Capitol Hill staffers unionizing and New York Democrats’ congressional maps getting thrown out for good.[1:02] Which Party has Changed More?[15:20] Stock Market[22:00] ACLU[30:44] House Staffer UnionizingCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/05/13/ep-46/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 everything’s that happened in the week since the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade leaked to the public. Then they turn to the wearable health tech revolution, the FDA moving to ban menthol cigarettes, Section 230 reform, Amazon firing union organizers, and the LSAT on thin ice.[1:52] Roe v.

In the face of over 100,000 overdose deaths throughout the U.S. last year, New York City opened the nation’s first safe consumption sites. Trained professionals monitor drug use and intervene to prevent deaths from overdose. The sites are predictably divisive, drawing intense criticism and praise alike, but behind that debate lies a long list of crucial unknowns. Will the sites enable addiction or guide users toward recovery? Will it compound harms to the community or help alleviate the social burden of the opioid epidemic? One thing is clear: these sites are saving lives. But what are the lasting impacts of this audacious experiment? The Lost Debate brings you a special report from inside the nation’s first legal safe consumption site.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 J.D. Vance’s win in Ohio’s GOP primary, one of the strongest indicators yet of the power of Trump’s endorsement. Then we turn to the Biden administration weighing federal student debt relief, before turning to the troubling trend of comedians under attack: this time, Dave Chappelle. We discuss how China’s lockdowns could threaten the global economy, and why a mental health startup isn’t writing any more Adderall prescriptions. And finally, we touch on a quiet crisis in America: the sad state of mental health among teenagers.[2:01] Ohio Primaries[8:05] Student Debt Relief[20:37] Dave Chappelle Attacked[25:40] China's latest COVID Lockdown[34:00] Adderall Update[35:46] Teen Mental HealthCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/05/05/ep-44/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 one of the biggest stories in recent memory: an unprecedented leak from the Supreme Court, signaling a major decision ahead that would overturn the court’s 1973 decision codifying abortion rights, Roe v. Wade. We then turn to the Department of Homeland Security’s mystifyingly named Disinformation Governance Board before wrapping up with our runthrough of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.[0:53] Roe v.

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki begin by debating a new bill in California that would call on the state’s Medical Board to crack down on doctors accused of spreading COVID misinformation. The Supreme Court considers the prayers of a high school football coach, with some big implications for religious liberty. We go through the facts and the implications before bringing you the latest on Ukraine, both on the warfront and developments around the world. And finally, the Trump effect. We’ll discuss how the former President is making his presence felt bigly in GOP primaries.[1:21] California vs. Medical Misinformation[11:11] SCOTUS Prayer[22:42] Ukraine Update[28:25] Trump EndorsementsCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/04/28/ep-42/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 only story anyone seems to be talking about – Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover – before turning to more industry news: a bad quarter for Netflix, and a streaming service that didn’t even last one quarter: CNN+. We give our dispatches from the streaming warfront. Disney has a plus too, but they have a definite minus in Florida, as Governor Ron DeSantis revokes their special tax status. More on that feud. Some sobering new data from 2020, the worst year on record for gun deaths among children. We get into the gun reform debate. And finally, we close with a classroom controversy in San Francisco, where a teacher brought in raw cotton plants to teach kids about slavery. [2:40] Musk/Twitter[9:46] CNN+/Netflix[18:36] Disney vs. Florida[26:38] Teen Gun Deaths[40:47] CottontroversySticher: 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 political outrage machine that is Libs of TikTok before turning to South Carolina, where a death row inmate faces execution by firing squad. We talk capital punishment in America. How many libraries does Cory have to donate to get his kid into Yale? We discuss the strange tradition of legacy admissions. And a certain former school principal around here has some thoughts on the Biden administration’s new rules for charter schools and their access to federal grants. [1:11] Libs of Tik Tok[16:47] Legacy Admissions[23:14] Death Penalty[33:59] Charter SchoolsCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/04/22/ep-40/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 sits down with Yascha Mounk to talk about his new book, "The Great Experiment: Why Diverse Democracies Fall Apart and How They Can Endure," a tailor-made read for Lost Debate listeners. Ravi and Yascha go through the fraying aspects of American democracy while putting a hopeful lens on what it's getting right. Mounk puts the state of global democracy in its vast historical context, arguing today represents unprecedented success for democratic ideals despite growing threats to its preeminence as a desirable system of governance. Melding history, comparative politics and social science, Yascha makes the case that democracy -- including America's -- can still overcome the challenges facing it today while acknowledging their seriousness, including in-group/out-group instincts, how we teach our own history, and media polarization. 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 Jared Kushner’s big, beautiful, brazen payday from Saudi Arabia, raising $2 billion from the regime he stridently defended as the Trump administration’s lead man in the Middle East. Compensation for services rendered, or an investment in a second Trump term? The suspected gunman in Tuesday’s Brooklyn subway shooting is in custody, but the debate it’s renewed on NYC policing remains predictably heated. Elon Musk may be buying Twitter, if the platform’s board accepts a fittingly Twitter troll offer of $54.20 a share – emphasis on the 4/20. The “iron river” of U.S.-made firearms keeps on flowing south into Mexico. We’ll discuss how a longshot first-of-its-kind lawsuit from the Mexican government aims to stop the bloodshed by going after gunmakers. And the New York Times is telling its reporters to consider spending less time on Twitter, drawing the ire of the quintessential extremely online reporter, Taylor Lorenz. Finally, we wrap things up with a quick reaction to Bill Maher’s recent appearance on Joe Rogan to talk about centrism.[1:54] Musk & Twitter,[10:38] Kushner & MB$,[19:30] Brooklyn Shooter,[29:24] Gun Trade,[39:23] NYT & LorenzSubscribe to The Lost Debate’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTFCheck out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/04/15/ep-39/Sticher: 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
