Ep 18 | Florida CRT Fight, Biden’s First Year, China Hypocrisy, Tish & Trump, England Reopens

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start off on a bill making its way through the Florida state legislature that would ban schools and companies from making people feel guilty on account of their race. Then we look at President Biden, one year in. How rough are his approval ratings, and does he have any hope of turning things around? Our hosts take a wider lens to the controversy around Chamath Palihapitiya’s dismissal of the Uyghur crisis. Are the people criticizing him just as wrong as he is? Then Ravi argues that the New York Attorney General’s investigation of the Trump Organization has been compromised from the start. Finally, Rikki argues we should welcome the end of most Covid restrictions in England and follow suit here in the U.S. [0:56] Florida's CRT Bill [12:46] President Biden, One Year In [23:06] Chamath Palihapitiya’s dismissal of the Uyghur crisis.
