Summary

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden this week. Will the GOP find evidence of wrongdoing, or is this a last-ditch effort by McCarthy to convince members of his party to pass pending spending bills and help avoid a government shutdown? Tech titans like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates have descended on Capitol Hill for a closed-door meeting regarding future AI regulations. Ravi and Rikki discuss what they hope to see from this session, but more importantly, will we finally get the cage match we’ve been promised? The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled that the Biden admin, health officials, and the FBI likely violated the First Amendment when they pushed tech companies to take down or suppress posts on COVID and elections. The hosts debate the key takeaways from the ruling and how we should address the threat of misinformation in the future. Finally, Ravi and Rikki look at the red states that have greenlit PragerU’s controversial K-12 curriculum. Is the company’s curriculum a new form of indoctrination or simply an additional resource for educators?

0:00.0	On today's episode, we're going to talk about Biden's impeachment.
0:04.2	We're going to talk about high-profile meetings on Capitol Hill over AI.
0:08.1	There was also a federal court ruling that Biden COVID officials violated the First Amendment.
0:12.9	And then we have some red states greenlighting a controversial curriculum at the K-12 level.
0:18.6	All of this and more on The Lost Debate, a show for political
0:21.8	eclectics.
0:28.3	Hello, everyone. I'm Robbie Gupta. And I'm Ricky Schlaught. All right, Ricky. The day has
0:33.7	arrived. Justice will be done. McCarthy has announced the Biden impeachment inquiry.
0:40.9	He was careful to note. It's not an impeachment proceeding, but they are, they're asking some
0:47.2	questions, Ricky. What do you think is going to come of this? I'm down to just ask questions.
0:51.9	But yeah, he launched this on Tuesday.
0:55.9	He says that there are, quote, serious, incredible allegations against Biden, and that taken together these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption.
1:04.4	I definitely agree with that.
1:06.3	I think the biggest hurdle, again, is going to be connecting the dots directly to Biden, even though
1:12.1	obviously someone very intimately close to him is heavily implicated. And one of the things
1:18.7	that this is really kind of hinging on is the fact that a few things that Biden said in 2020
1:23.5	and in the election cycle about his personal involvement have since very evidently been disproven
1:30.0	by discovery, by also Hunter's own testimony, including denying full stop that Hunter made any
1:38.3	money in China, which Hunter is admitted to, and also denying that Biden had ever met his
1:43.8	Ukrainian associates in business.
1:45.7	So I think his own words are going to come back to bite him. But again, we're kind of still
1:50.8	in the same position as where we last left it. So there's still questions to be asked and questions
