Ep 35 | America’s Adderall Problem, Facebook vs. TikTok, “Don’t Say Gay” Bill
Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start on the new Florida law whose supporters and opponents call it by different names: Parental Rights in Education vs. “Don’t Say Gay.” We discuss what’s really in the legislation and the impact it could have on classrooms there. America might have an Adderall problem. We’ll talk about the companies behind the flood of prescriptions, and Facebook’s full-on opposition research campaign to undercut TikTok.

Ep 34 | Ginni Thomas Texts, End of Meat, Biden's Putin Gaffe, Oscars Slap
Ravi, Cory, and Rikki lead off with the newly leaked texts from Supreme Court spouse Ginni Thomas. We discuss what her 2020 election conspiracizing means for her and her husband, Justice Clarence Thomas. Bill Gates is calling on rich nations to transition to 100% synthetic meat to fight climate change. We go over the environmental and ethical cases for just such a move. Biden seemingly calls for regime change in Russia. Why the timing makes his blunder even less defensible. And we, like everyone else in your life right now, can’t help but talk about the Will Smith/Chris Rock of it all. [1:08] Ginni Thomas’ Damning Texts [8:06] The Future Is Meatless?

Ep 33 | NYT For Free Speech, Texas Abortions, Adams v. The Left, Ukrainian Refugees
Ravi and guest host Liz Wolfe start by unpacking the New York Times’ recent editorial stating “America Has a Free Speech Problem.” They discuss what took the paper so long to say so and the countless examples that prove them right. Citigroup says it will pay travel costs for Texas-based employees to get out-of-state abortions. We’ll explain how that fight fits into the national debate around abortion. Eric Adams is meeting fresh resistance from the progressive left in New York. We’ll talk Ravi’s favorite mayor. And the U.S. now says it will take 100,000 refugees from Ukraine: what that promise means, and what makes Ukraine’s crisis so pressing.

Ep 32 | Journalists Under Attack, SCOTUS Reform, 2 Years of COVID, Standardized Testing
Two years into the pandemic, Ravi, Cory, and Rikki look back on how much has changed since COVID-19 entered our lives. Standardized testing may be getting less standard. We discuss what makes the testing debate so key to our education system. Journalists are under attack in Ukraine – the most chilling front of Russia’s assault on the truth. And a majority of Americans agree: the Supreme Court needs reform. We’ll talk about what’s on the table.

Ep 31 | Homeless Crisis, Tulsi “Treason,” Teen Vaping, Zucker’s CNN Exit
Tulsi Gabbard is being accused of “treasonous lies” after tweeting about purportedly U.S.-affiliated “biolabs” in Ukraine. Ravi, Cory, and Rikki sort through the noise. Liberal cities are shifting their approach on homelessness. We discuss whether punitive measures are the answer. Then we dive into a surprisingly murky third-rail debate in America: teen vaping. Finally, breaking news: Jeff Zucker’s exit from CNN was about more than an exposed office romance. We go through the network’s ethical failings around the Brothers Cuomo and what it says about the state of the American media.

Uber and Lyft launch a new campaign to make sure their drivers can’t hail a union. Ravi, Cory, and Rikki discuss that labor fight playing out in Washington, as well as another in Minneapolis, where thousands of teachers are on strike. We cover alarming new data on pandemic learning loss before turning to the NFL’s Calvin Ridley and the fast-growing world of sports betting.

Ep 29 | Cyberattacks, Energy Dependence, Campus Free Speech, Fort Lauderdale PD
U.S. gas prices hit an all-time high the same day Biden announces a ban on Russian oil imports. Ravi, Cory, and Rikki discuss the global energy fallout of the war in Ukraine. Cyberattacks could also be a retaliatory measure Moscow looks to use in undermining the West. We discuss U.S. readiness to defend and respond. Law students at UC Hastings drown out a guest speaker over accusations of racist speech. We go through the Ilya Shapiro debacle. The city of Fort Lauderdale is firing its police chief over hiring practices so woke they’re discriminatory. And finally, Cory wraps up with an update on TikTok banning posts in Russia.

Ep 28 | Ukraine Update, Psychedelics, Putin’s Media Spin, Homeschooling
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been met with an avalanche of Western economic sanctions. Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start off by going through the laundry list of financial measures before turning to Russia’s false narrative of the invasion, censorship of war-related content on TikTok, and non-white refugees facing racism as they flee the country. Homeschooling is sharply rising across America. We discuss why that might be and the pro’s and con’s of educating your children at home. Finally, we take a trip out west to talk about new research in Utah looking into how psychedelic drugs could help treat mental health conditions.
