Lost Debate - Trade Confusion, Recession Risk, Trump-Era Schools
Ravi kicks off the show by unpacking the latest economic headlines, from inflation trends to the impact of Trump’s unpredictable trade policies and how they could impact businesses and consumers. He also takes a closer look at Elon Musk, explaining why unlikely voices like Bill Burr and Dave Portnoy have criticized the billionaire over the past week and what it might mean for Musk’s future at the helm of DOGE. Ravi then turns to the Department of Education, which announced earlier this week that it had laid off 1,300 workers, effectively gutting its staff and raising serious questions about funding for schools nationwide.
Finally, Stacey Shells Harvey, CEO of Regeneration Schools, joins Ravi to share her firsthand account of what it’s like to run schools in 2025. Stacey explains how the latest immigration policies have impacted schools, the state of student discipline, and how social media continues to fuel violence among kids. Stacey and Ravi also dive into pop culture, touching on everything from Kanye West and Meghan Markle to the rise of self-produced docuseries and whether they truly serve the interests of the audience.

Native America Calling - Thursday, March 13, 2025 – Decades of funding neglect is causing serious problems for rural Alaska school buildings
An entire wall of one school building is buckling after a leaky roof went unattended for 19 years. Students at another school have to go home to use the bathroom during the day because the school’s water pipes burst. Exposed insulation hangs from the ceiling in another school. For more than a quarter century, the Alaska legislature has devoted only a fraction of the funds needed to keep the public school buildings that serve a predominantly Alaska Native student population functioning properly. We’ll hear about the investigation by KYUK in collaboration with ProPublica’s Local Reporting Network and NPR’s Station Investigations Team that exposed a problem many years in the making.
