Lost Debate - Ep 38 | 1619 Debate, Elon & Twitter, Whitmer Kidnapping Case, Inflating Inflation

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with a surprise out of a Michigan courtroom: zero convictions in the alleged plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer. We discuss the ins and outs of the case and how it fell apart on prosecutors. Then we turn to the swirling debate around the ever-controversial 1619 Project, its framing of history, how it’s evolved and responded – or failed to respond – to legitimate criticism, and why it’s touched such a fundamental nerve in America. We finish with a discussion on the root cause and ensuing reaction to worsening inflation, as well as the “will they, won’t they” couple of the moment: Elon Musk and Twitter.

Consider This from NPR - Inflation Keeps Getting Worse. Is A Recession Next?

Prices are up on everything from groceries, to rent, to gas, and consumer price inflation hit a new 40-year high in March: Up 8.5% over a year ago.

This increase impacts everyone across the economic spectrum, but inflation poses a particular hardship for low-income families. And while the Biden administration has announced new steps to bring down gas prices and other visible signs of inflation, there's mounting political pressure to do more during this midterm election year.

NPR Congressional Correspondent Kelsey Snell and Chief Economics Correspondent Scott Horsley break down the stakes for those hit hardest by inflation and for the government.

Scott Horsley also speaks to economists who explain why they believe the U.S. might be in another recession soon.

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