Summary

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with the horrific school shooting in Texas, leaving 21 people dead: 19 of them, only 4th graders. The hosts address the resulting gun reform debate playing out across America before turning to another heated reform discussion: police accountability. We go through Biden’s new executive order and whether it’s a template worth applying on a wider scale. Then we jump into Florida’s soundly rejected social media free speech law, drawing the ire of Gov. DeSantis. Finally, we wrap up with a little politics roundup: chaotic new maps in New York, a mixed bag for Trump in Georgia, and modern-day hanging chads in Pennsylvania.  [1:10] Texas Shooting / Gun Control [24:09] Police Reform [31:34] Florida Social Media [38:55] Ravi's Radical Idea [44:15] New York Maps and Primaries Check out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2022/05/27/ep-50/ Subscribe to The Lost Debate’s YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTF Sticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debate iheart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debate LOST DEBATE ON SOCIAL: Follow Lost Debate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/ Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebate Follow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelostdebate

I'm not advocating allowing more guns.

0:07.0

I'm just advocating allowing guns to the right people and having clear guardrails around who the people who are not in that group would be.

0:15.0

But this is like a deterministic thing.

0:17.0

Like, let's flood the market with guns.

0:19.0

Therefore, it's who we are now. We can't do anything about it.

And I refuse to accept that world.

Welcome to The Lost Debate Show for Politically eclectics.

I'm Robbie Gupta.

I'm Cory Schlaught.

0:35.3

Well, Corey, what do we have today?

0:36.3

First thing's first, President Biden commemorates George Floyd with an executive order on police reform. We'll go through what it does and what it might mean down the line. We've got a social media free speech case in Florida. Ricky is going to be talking to us about all of that. Ravi is going to pitch us another one of his revolutionary ideas on how to reform a major issue in America. Then we'll get into a little politics roundup from this week's primaries in Georgia to a race

school in Texas. At least 19 children and two adults were killed.

1:30.2

Nineteen children, fourth graders, almost done with their school year, gunned down by an 18-year

1:37.1

high school senior who most likely they had never even met. This was the second deadliest school

shooting in U.S. history surpassed only by Sandy Hook.
