Lost Debate - Biden in Trouble, Smartphone Ban, Homeschooling’s Rise, Good Economic News

A new poll shows President Biden trailing Donald Trump in five out of six key swing states just a year before the 2024 election. Ravi and Rikki discuss the poll’s confirmation that the American public has widespread concerns about Biden's age and performance and how the Democratic Party should respond.

Once a fringe movement, homeschooling is now the fastest-growing form of education in America. The hosts break down the reasons the movement has finally caught on and which students the newest forms of homeschooling now support.

Finally, Ravi and Rikki take a look at the American economy. The Fed and Treasury released its 2022 data from the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), which showed a vast majority of Americans are doing much better than in recent history. But with the general public not feeling its positive effect, are storm clouds on the horizon?
