Lost Debate - Ep 127 | Trump Indictment, Effective Altruism, Moving From Blue States to Red States

Ravi and guest host Bradley Tusk — a venture capitalist, writer, and political strategist — jump straight into the facts of the Trump indictment and whether they believe Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s charges against former President Donald Trump will hold water. Then the duo switch to the multiple interpretations and definitions of effective altruism and how humankind can build a better world. Finally, they dissect the trend of people from “Blue states” like California and New York, migrating to “Red states” like Florida and Texas, and if this exodus could be politically motivated.

Consider This from NPR - In Nearly Every Part of Syria, Life Is Struggle

Syria is buckling under the stresses caused by civil war, a brutal dictatorship, punishing international sanctions, and most recently the devastation caused by earthquakes in the region last February.

At the same time, the effectiveness of sanctions meant to hurt and isolate the regime of dictator Bashar al-Assad is being questioned. Recently, a group of former U.S. officials and Syria experts urged President Biden to rethink U.S. policy and make sanctions more effective.

NPR's Aya Batrawy traveled to a government-controlled area of Syria to learn more about what life under sanctions is like there.

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