Show Notes
Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with a surprise out of a Michigan courtroom: zero convictions in the alleged plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer. We discuss the ins and outs of the case and how it fell apart on prosecutors. Then we turn to the swirling debate around the ever-controversial 1619 Project, its framing of history, how it’s evolved and responded – or failed to respond – to legitimate criticism, and why it’s touched such a fundamental nerve in America. We finish with a discussion on the root cause and ensuing reaction to worsening inflation, as well as the “will they, won’t they” couple of the moment: Elon Musk and Twitter.
