Summary

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki lead off with the newly leaked texts from Supreme Court spouse Ginni Thomas. We discuss what her 2020 election conspiracizing means for her and her husband, Justice Clarence Thomas. Bill Gates is calling on rich nations to transition to 100% synthetic meat to fight climate change. We go over the environmental and ethical cases for just such a move. Biden seemingly calls for regime change in Russia. Why the timing makes his blunder even less defensible. And we, like everyone else in your life right now, can’t help but talk about the Will Smith/Chris Rock of it all. [1:08] Ginni Thomas’ Damning Texts [8:06] The Future Is Meatless?

0:00.0	I think this moment should go in the bad take Hall of Fame. Judd Apatow said that Will Smith could
0:06.0	have killed Chris Rock. This was an open, handed slap. I mean, come on. Howard Stern compared
0:11.6	Smith to Trump. And here's a tweet from Mari Minusian, who's actually a candidate that I've
0:16.8	supported in the past. She wrote, pretty disappointing to see white women in politics that I know
0:20.5	personally not unequivocally supporting the Smiths on this one. How we made this
0:24.5	about white women when there was no white women involved in this conversation is amazing to me.
0:33.5	Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for politically eclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta. I'm Corey Bredford. And. And I'm Ricky Schlaught. Well, welcome back, guys. Corey, where are we going to start? Well, on today's show, 100% synthetic meat. If that doesn't make your mouth water, I don't know what else to say. We'll discuss Bill Gates and his beef with beef. President Biden threw a gaff grenade into hopeful peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. We'll react to his
0:55.3	comments on Vladimir Putin, and the Oscars are known for honoring dramatic performances. But this
0:59.9	year's Oscars contain some real-life drama. We'll discuss the slap heard around the world.
1:04.7	But first things first, let's start by catching up with the news cycle's favorite Supreme Court
1:09.4	spouse, Jenny Thomas. Last week,
1:12.0	dozens of leaked text messages between Thomas and Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows,
1:15.7	showed the two swapping conspiracy theories regarding the 2020 presidential election.
1:19.9	This brings us back to a conversation we had a few weeks ago about a code of ethics for the
1:23.6	Supreme Court, particularly with respect to Jenny's husband, Justice Clarence Thomas.
1:29.1	Now, Ricky, what has been your reaction to reading those texts?
1:32.9	Well, so she seems to be a lot more politically involved than other Supreme Court
1:36.0	justices spouses. She was very involved in the Tea Party, and obviously now we know from these
1:41.7	Meadows texts very involved in discussing the January 6th kind of controversies.
1:47.8	And although she was there on that day, she did leave before anything got violent or out of hand, which is important to note.
1:54.3	But there are a total of 29 texts in their exchange, and they include quotes from her like,
1:59.9	Help this great president stand firm, Mark.
