Summary

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki begin with the strange exchange between Glen Greenwald and Alex Jones this week before turning to a few instances of comedy meeting cancel culture. Then they turn to two stories stemming from the southern border – fingerpointing over migrants in major cities like New York and D.C., along with the multibillion dollar industry of smuggling migrants. Finally, the hosts wrap up with a debate on the value of homework and tick through a few rapid fire updates from a busy news week.

And it doesn't get to the fact that there is a legal mess in the middle. Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for politically eclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta. I'm Corey Bratford. And I'm Riefie Schlapp. Well, what do we have today, Corey? Well, Robbie, on today's show, the comedy world is having a couple of cancel culture moments we want to talk about involving Andrew Shultz and Dave Chappelle. Then we'll go to two stories centered on the southern border, touching on the fraud politics and the multi-billion dollar business of record high immigration. Finally, we'll debate whether Kitt should have homework and we'll bring you a couple of quick news updates.

1:38.3

when people whose job it is to spread disinformation

1:41.3

or accusing you of doing that, you kind of want to dig in a little bit and not give an inch to people who you know aren't criticizing you in good faith.

Now, Ravi Greenwald is a Pulitzer-winning journalist, but that's a pretty telling way to phrase a question, is it?
