Summary

What happens now that Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend the ongoing ceasefire? Ravi is joined by guest co-host Isaac Saul to discuss the current status of the war and its likely outcomes. While Palestinians and Israelis deal with the realities on the ground, the conflict has also exposed growing strife in the U.S. that’s left businesses and corporations scrambling to respond. But why do so many institutions feel obligated to issue statements about world events? The hosts look to Jonathan Chait’s latest piece in New York Magazine to help answer this question. Ravi and Isaac then review a new report from PEN America, which found that over one million teachers and 100,000 professors are now under “educational gag orders,” and break down how these laws hinder teachers and educators from doing their jobs. Finally, New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently announced sweeping budget cuts that include reducing the number of police officers to the lowest amount since the 1990s and mid-year budget cuts to 43% of the city’s schools. Adams has blamed the city’s $7 billion budget crisis on the city’s influx of migrants. Will this be the issue that tears New York City apart?

0:00.0	Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for Politically Ecclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta, and today we are welcoming back, Isaac,
0:08.0	from Tangle. Isaac, how was your Thanksgiving? It was good, man. I have an awesome family Thanksgiving tradition
0:16.0	with my neighbors across the street. 20 years strong, we've been doing it together.
0:23.7	So it's always fun to get back home and see everybody.
0:27.6	It was a nice little break from the chaos from the news, man.
0:29.0	Yes, I could imagine.
0:30.9	Well, welcome back to the chaos.
0:33.4	We've got a few touchy subjects today.

1:03.2	But with that, Isaac, let's start with this ceasefire and just the current state of the
1:07.8	conflict.
1:08.7	We are recording this at 208 p.m. on Tuesday, Eastern Time.
1:14.6	As of now, from your understanding,
1:16.2	where do you think stand between Israel and Hamas?
1:19.8	Yeah, so I mean, I guess the general landscape is that this is a,
1:25.0	so far has been a successful ceasefire, which is, you know, something that's not
1:31.5	a given. I think a lot of times in the history of this conflict, we've seen ceasefires like this
1:36.9	last, you know, maybe an hour or two, and then something happens that breaks them. And I think
