On today's episode, we'll weigh in on last night's GOP debate. Who won, if anybody? Then we'll talk about

San Francisco Mayor London Breed's controversial move to drug test welfare recipients. And then we'll

end with a discussion of ideas in K-12 and higher education, where they come from, the debate

between the right and the left

over theories like critical race theory, and most importantly, for you as a parent or you as somebody

who might be involved in the K-12 or higher education system, like how to make sense of this battle

of ideas. So we'll discuss all of this and more on the lost debate show for political eclectics.

Hello, everybody. I'm Robbie Gupta. I'm Ricky Schlaught.

All right, Ricky. We watched this debate last night.

And I said last time it was more interesting than I thought it would be,

and I gave a lot of credit to the moderators. I have to say, it was more interesting than I thought it would be, and they gave a lot of credit

to the moderators. I have to say, this was a really, really bad debate on all accounts.

It was, I don't think there was any substance really discussed. I think the moderating was

poor. The lighting was poor. I don't really have much positive to say about it. Cheer me up. Give me some silver

lining here. It was messy. Yeah. No, I'll give it to you. I think it was, I don't know. It kind of lost me, too.

Although, it was, it was kind of entertaining. It felt like, have you ever seen those YouTube compilations of like American politics out of context where it's just oh my gosh I'll send

them to you they're really good everyone should look them up they're so funny it's like the most

bizarre little like five second snippets of just random political moments that makes you feel like

we're living in a clown republic and that the end of the world is nigh, which is a little bit how it felt last night.

There was a lot of chaos and talking over each other.

And like, I was surprised Bergam had like several times just railroaded his way into like an

extra 30 seconds of.
