Is cancel culture a real thing? Because I feel like we've overblown this to the point where we believe in something that doesn't really exist.

0:06.0

I don't believe cancel culture is nearly as rampant as this poll and a lot of other people would suggest it is.

Welcome to the Lost Debate on conventional media for the rest of us. I'm Robbie Gupta.

0:21.7

And I'm Corey Broughtford.

0:36.9

And Corey, there's a lot happening in this crazy world we live in where we're going to start. It is crazy, Ravi. We got a lot to talk about today. Coming up, revelations about that infamous steel dossier that alleged a connection between Donald Trump and Russian interference in the 2016 election. Was it all just fake news?

0:42.3

We discussed the newly announced University of Austin created by prominent anti-cancel culture figures. Ravi lays down the proposed parents' bill of rights.

1:28.4

This infrastructure package was passed the House, and this is $1.2 trillion for critical infrastructure,

like roads, bridges, broadband access, fixing our lead pipes, electric charging stations.

1:40.4

I mean, there's so much in this bill.

1:42.6

And what I find fascinating, Corey, and I want to get your

perspective on it, is the vote breakdown was interesting because it was sort of bipartisan. So there

1:50.7
