Summary

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start on Netflix laying out a standard: they’re going to keep publishing content that some of their employees might disagree with. Then we turn to Tuesday’s primary races and what we should take from the results in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and others. Rikki updates us on the DHS pausing its much-criticized “Disinformation Governance Board,” Ravi pitches a wild idea, and the hosts take a look at private equity’s growing influence over the economy. Finally, we peer up at the night sky – and at Congress – to talk about this week’s hearings on UFOs (sorry, UAP).

0:05.0	I don't know, man.
0:06.0	I just think they would be better at running it potentially, because it's hard to get worse than we are right now.
0:11.0	So that would be my spin on that.
0:13.0	I feel like most of human history is probably examples of worse leadership.
0:17.0	Yeah.
0:18.0	But maybe. Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for Politically Ecclectics.

0:46.4	turn to the exciting and definitely not complicated or boring world of private equity.
0:51.0	And after all that, we'll get into the real shit that's going on in this country.
