Summary

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki go through the many allegations against Hunter Biden before diving into major outlets’ overdue corrections – some of them made very quietly – to coverage of the president’s son in the month before the 2020 election. Amazon workers are unionizing in Staten Island. We discuss whether that could turn into a recurring delivery for the mega-retailer. President Biden has overseen a strong economic recovery by many metrics, but you wouldn’t think so looking at his poll numbers. We’ll talk about inflation and the other possible reasons why that’s the case. And finally, our take on comedian Louis C.K. winning a Grammy.

If I was buying, I'd be out there every single day saying, look at these low

unemployment. He could yell that all day long. It's not going to change the 7.9 inflation rate.

Whether he improves his messaging on unemployment, there's no getting around the fact that

Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for politically eclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta. I'm Corey Barford. And I'm Rickush. Well, before we get started today, I want to tell you about a new

0:30.3

podcast that has joined the Lost Debate Network. It's called the Desi Crime Podcast. And what I love

0:35.3

about this show is that there's so much true crime

0:38.5

out there, but it's mostly centered on the West, right? Like we were all fans probably of

0:42.8

cereal or to live and die in L.A. and all these wonderful shows that are riveting about

0:48.1

crimes that happen over here. But Desi Crime, which is one of the most popular shows in all of

0:52.8

India, and it's also super popular

0:54.6

throughout South Asia. It takes us on a journey through towns and cities across India and tells

1:00.8

us about crimes about gender violence, political violence, corruption. It's super riveting

1:27.4

next few months to really increase their YouTube presence as well. And so we'll report back about how you can check them out on video as well. With that, Corey, where are we going to start today? On today's show, Amazon gets delivered a union. We'll discuss whether this is a sign of more to come. March was yet another strong month for the job market, but you sure wouldn't know it by looking at Biden's poll numbers. We'll talk about why that might be. And at least for a lot of people, comedian Lewis C.K. was canceled until he won a Grammy this weekend. We'll get into that whole controversy. But first things first, over the last few weeks, we've seen several major media outlets quietly

confirmed 2020 reports over Hunter Biden's mysterious laptop.
