| 0:00.8 | There are people whose kids went to that Michigan school who are not going to have their kids for Christmas this year. |
| 0:06.5 | And they got to look at people like this who just simply glorify these tools that were used to kill their children. |
| 0:16.7 | Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for politically eclectics. |
| 0:19.8 | I'm Robbie Gupta. |
| 0:20.7 | And I'm Corey Bradford. Well, Corey, I got my third booster this weekend and I'm feeling great. That's cool. Did Mayor de Blasio force you to get that boosting? No. But you're referring to, for our listeners, you don't know this. The mayor of New York City has mandated that every business ensure that every employee is fully vaccinated within the city, and this is going to go into effect December 27th, which is four days before de Blasio leaves office. What do you make of all this? |
| 0:46.8 | It's kind of weird. I mean, I'm already vaccinated, so it doesn't really apply to me. But if I'm not mistaken, isn't like 90% of New York City already vaccinated? |
| 0:53.2 | Which I think is about what they say herd immunity is. So I'm not sure why we're doing this. One thing is sure, just from an informal poll of people in my life, is a lot of people are just not going to spend a lot of time thinking about implementing this. I think this has more to do with this political career than anything. But that's not what we meant to talk about today. What's on our agenda today for loss and family? Well, actually, what we're going to be talking about today, Ravi, is we'll be discussing a new Trump-led media company that aims to shake things up in big tech. We'll also be talking about some new facts that are being revealed about the parents of that recent Michigan school shooter and what those facts mean for gun owners. Crime is on the rise in the |
| 1:27.8 | U.S. Are progressives being too dismissive of this growing problem? We'll break down the meaning |
| 1:32.6 | behind some popular Gen Z memes and Ravi interviewed the son of the founder of Action Park |
| 1:38.6 | to discuss the complicated legacy of one of America's first water parks. But first things first, I want to talk |
| 1:45.7 | about this term that's been floating around in the media today and it's making ways specifically |
| 1:49.7 | today. Maybe you've heard this term lately. Latin X. It's met as a gender inclusive term instead |
| 1:56.1 | of Latino or Latina. Politico just reported on a poll of voters who could identify with this term and found some |
| 2:04.6 | pretty startling findings. |
| 2:07.6 | Basically, voters prefer the term Hispanic overwhelmingly and Latino and Latina secondarily, |
| 2:15.6 | and only 2% of voters who would identify with this term prefer |
| 2:20.0 | that term. |
| 2:20.8 | 2%. |
| 2:21.2 | And even more troubling is that 40% of those voters actually take issue with the term and 30% |
| 2:29.6 | say that they would actually hold it against an elected official who uses that term at the ballot box. |
| 2:35.4 | And so that seems pretty serious for people who use that term. |
| 2:37.8 | Yeah. |
