    Debate: Should Democrats Support Education Savings Accounts? Mar 01, 2024
    Show notes

    School choice programs have expanded dramatically over the past several years, in part due to the creation of education savings accounts (ESA). The movement for ESAs has been spearheaded predominantly by Republicans and met with widespread skepticism from Democrats.

    But should Democrats support ESAs? Ravi joined Marcus Brandon, executive director of North Carolina Campaign for Achievement Now, Graig Meyer, a North Carolina state senator, and Bethany M. Little, the managing director at Education Counsel, to discuss this very issue in a recent debate hosted by the American Enterprise Institute. Listen to their conversation and then let us know where you stand on the issue by leaving a voicemail! 321-200-0570

    Biden v. Trump on Immigration, Ceasefire in Gaza, Michigan's Uncommitted Voters Feb 27, 2024
    Show notes

    A recent Gallup poll shows that immigration is now the most important issue for Americans. New York Times White House correspondent Michael Shear joins Ravi to explore the poll’s implications, including what it means for 2024 and how Biden has adjusted his policies in response to the ongoing migrant crisis. They also delve into the prospect of a ceasefire in Gaza and today’s Michigan presidential primary, where grassroots groups are encouraging Democrats to vote "uncommitted" as a form of protest against the White House’s response to the continued conflict in the Middle East.

    Trump Is Right for Once Feb 22, 2024
    Show notes

    A New York judge ruled last week that Donald Trump must pay over $350 million in penalties for business fraud and banned him from running companies in the state for three years. Ravi explains where the case went wrong, from New York Attorney General Tish James’s motives in bringing the case to issues with the judgment itself.

    Is the end of the Hunter Biden scandal near? Ravi takes a closer look at the recent arrest of the FBI informant who sparked the Biden impeachment probe and the related bribery allegations against the President’s son. The now-ex-informant faces accusations of lying to the FBI and having ties to Russia.

    In education news, Yale has reversed its decision to make standardized tests optional for college admissions. Will more colleges follow suit? Ravi then turns to high school admissions and unpacks the Supreme Court’s recent decision to reject an affirmative action case regarding a renowned Northern Virginia magnet school, effectively allowing the school’s current admissions policy to stand.

    The Suburbs Feb 08, 2024
    Show notes

    Ravi interviews Benjamin Herold about his new book “Disillusioned: Five Families and the Unraveling of America’s Suburbs,” an important and eye-opening exploration of the history of suburban communities in the U.S. Ravi and Ben discuss why the magical thinking that fueled suburbia’s boom was always a ticking time bomb, and what it means for today’s suburban families as they grapple with failing infrastructure and subpar schools.

    Trump Immunity, Border Bill, Economic Surge, Zuck on the Hill Feb 06, 2024
    Show notes

    A federal appeals court ruled that Trump does not have presidential immunity in the January 6 case. This ruling sets the stage for a spring court date. Isaac Saul from Tangle joins Ravi to discuss what happens next, and if the Supreme Court will take up the case.

    On Sunday, Senate negotiators released the text of their $118 billion bill aimed at improving security on the U.S.-Mexico border while providing funding for Ukraine and Israel. Ravi and Isaac dissect what’s in the bill, the winners and losers, and how politics may tank this latest effort.

    In the fourth quarter of 2023, the U.S. economy grew more rapidly than expected while inflation slowed. Will this positive economic news impact Biden's chances at reelection?

    Finally, Congress recently grilled the heads of Meta, TikTok, Snap, Discord, and X in a heated Judiciary Committee hearing over the threats of social media and child exploitation. Was it all a stunt or will there be real change that comes out of this latest hearing?
