Lost Debate - 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.

Consider This from NPR - New Variants. New Boosters. But So Far, No New COVID Spending From Congress

An omicron subvariant known as BA.2 could soon become the dominant form of the coronavirus in the United States. It's not more deadly, but it is more transmissible. At the same time, the Biden administration has authorized a second booster shot for people over 50 and other people vulnerable to infection.

But against that backdrop, Congress has so far refused to authorize more COVID spending measures, which would fund the stockpiling of more vaccine doses and public health surveillance for emerging variants.

NPR's Selena Simmons-Duffin reports on the funding debate. NPR's Michaeleen Doucleff looks at another variant whose creation gives scientists insight into how COVID-19 variants change, and why.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
