We all agree that something should be done to help people who are worse off in this society

and that there's a racial correlation that's super strong and not accidental in this country as to where most of the wealth is.

But then what do you do?

If there is a proposal that says here's a way that we can invest particularly in education and in the futures of people,

Welcome to The Lost Debata Show for Politically Ecclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta. I'm

Cory Boreffert. And I'm Ricky Schlaught. Before we get into anything, I want to make a few announcements. Number one is we have this new podcast as part of our network called the Dacey Crime Podcast. It's all about true crime that happens in India and throughout South Asia. Some riveting stuff and some stories that I bet you've never heard before.

and every week he interviews somebody who's super successful on TikTok, but also people who have

Last week, we talked about myths around the Second Amendment.

And this week, we're going to be talking about the San Francisco DA recall and diving into what the meaning of all of that is.

And with that, Corey, where we're going to

start? On today's show, we'll place our wagers on whether or not it's a good idea to bring

casinos to New York City. Then we'll update you on a free speech controversy at Georgetown

and the latest on bipartisan talks on federal gun reform. We'll debate California's Reparations

Task Force and how America should go about redressing

the legacy of slavery and we'll give you this week's wild idea from Ravi. But first things first,

San Francisco voters are ousting progressive district attorney Chesa Budin after a heated recall

that may forecast similar trouble for like-minded DAs around the country. Ravi, you've been

covering all these recall votes in the Bay Area.
