Lost Debate - Ep 50 | TX Shooting, Police Reform, FL Social Media, NY Maps, PA Ballots, GA Races

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with the horrific school shooting in Texas, leaving 21 people dead: 19 of them, only 4th graders. The hosts address the resulting gun reform debate playing out across America before turning to another heated reform discussion: police accountability. We go through Biden’s new executive order and whether it’s a template worth applying on a wider scale. Then we jump into Florida’s soundly rejected social media free speech law, drawing the ire of Gov. DeSantis. Finally, we wrap up with a little politics roundup: chaotic new maps in New York, a mixed bag for Trump in Georgia, and modern-day hanging chads in Pennsylvania.

Consider This from NPR - Why Americans Feel The Toll Of High Inflation Beyond Gas Pumps & Grocery Stores

This is a fragile moment for the U.S. economy. Many people are feeling the steep rise of the cost of gas and groceries, and some are having to decide whether to buy food or fill up their tanks. Food banks and local non-profits are seeing more people than ever. And experts worry that the Federal Reserve's efforts to combat inflation by raising interest rates could tip the economy into recession.

NPR's Scott Horsley covers the big-picture economy, Chris Arnold covers housing and Brittany Cronin covers energy. They explain what sectors are feeling the most impact and how it's playing out for different people.

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