Summary

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with the only story anyone seems to be talking about – Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover – before turning to more industry news: a bad quarter for Netflix, and a streaming service that didn’t even last one quarter: CNN+. We give our dispatches from the streaming warfront. Disney has a plus too, but they have a definite minus in Florida, as Governor Ron DeSantis revokes their special tax status. More on that feud. Some sobering new data from 2020, the worst year on record for gun deaths among children. We get into the gun reform debate. And finally, we close with a classroom controversy in San Francisco, where a teacher brought in raw cotton plants to teach kids about slavery.

0:00.0	Just because people feel that they need to buy guns doesn't necessarily mean it's valid, right?
0:05.0	Like I think every country feels that they should have nuclear weapons, but we should ensure that every country doesn't get them, right?
0:09.0	I think like this idea that if everybody's feeling unsafe, that's like a civic breakdown. I feel like we did have a civic breakdown and this is the result of the fact that there were guns out in the streets and people felt like, you know, that's an obvious reality and I want to have one in a legal, sensible way to protect myself.
0:30.6	Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for Politically Ecclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta. I'm Corey
0:34.4	Bressford. And I'm Rakeesh Slaught. Well, a few announcements on the front end of today's show.
0:38.3	Number one is we just launched our newsletter.
0:40.3	It's the Lost Debate newsletter you could subscribe on Substack or by going to the lost debate website.
0:45.3	And essentially, this is a long form opportunity for us to dig deeper and some to some of the stories that we cover every day on the show.
0:52.3	And the first newsletter is actually about the
0:55.3	investigations into Donald Trump. And in that newsletter, I just write about some of the problems
1:00.5	with the New York Attorney General's investigation and the Manhattan District Attorney's
1:05.5	investigation into Trump and why it's like one of the biggest undercover stories going on right now and that it

1:16.8	thousand subscribers will be free. So get there as soon as you can. We also have an announcement
1:22.0	about our video. So we have an incredible video team here at The Lost Debate, and they work really hard to deliver a YouTube
1:29.7	video that is our full episode, as well as discrete segments that we do, and we release those
1:35.9	after every show. But we're growing as a company and supporting new shows that are going to be
1:40.5	launching in the next few months. And so we're going to be releasing only some of the segments every week on YouTube. And we're going to be still releasing the
1:49.5	entire episode on podcast. So if you want to listen to the full episode of The Lost Debate starting
1:54.2	Thursday, you can get it on our podcast only. And our YouTube page will just be for a few
2:00.1	segments each week that we think are
