    Ravi shares his latest thoughts on President Biden’s disastrous debate performance. He explains how months of obfuscation from Biden, his team, and the insiders closest to the administration could impact the 2024 election, advocates for more truth-telling, and responds to those who say it’s too late to replace the president on the ticket. Ravi then welcomes Jamie Hodari, co-founder and CEO of Industrious, back to the pod to talk about the latest trends in business, workplace culture, and real estate.

  • Biden Rising, Trump Confidence, Education Revolution

    Biden Rising, Trump Confidence, Education Revolution
    Jun 25 2024
    President Biden and former President Trump will face off in the first 2024 presidential debate later this week. Ravi takes stock of where both candidates stand heading into the debate, from their status in the polls and different approaches to fundraising to why TikTok videos about Trump receive more positive engagement than videos that mention Biden. Then, Ravi welcomes Derrell Bradford, president of 50CAN, to discuss the future of education and what we can learn from the evolution of education reform. They explore how the country went from a bipartisan consensus around No Child Left Behind to a backlash against high standards and accountability, growing fissures within education reform, and what it really means for a school to engage in activism. Finally, Ravi and Derrell turn to the future and the growing movement around new school models, including hybrid schools, microschools, and homeschooling. They discuss how Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) might impact this growth, what’s driving families to new school models, the reluctance of many Democrats to join the conversation, and why this is such a revolutionary moment in education.

  • Debate Expectations, Fraudulent News, Costly Daycare, State Elections

    Debate Expectations, Fraudulent News, Costly Daycare, State Elections
    Jun 20 2024
    The first presidential debate is around the corner. Ravi takes stock of the ways the Biden and Trump teams have approached debate preparation, explains how both camps have worked to shape the narrative leading up to the debate, and whether the candidates’ performance could impact the state of the election. He then turns to external forces in the election and explores a new piece from Julia Ioffe in Puck, which details Russia’s incompetent and sloppy efforts to influence this election cycle. Then, Reason producer Justin Zuckerman joins to share his recent reporting on the high cost of daycare in Washington, D.C., and the impact of overregulation on various industries. Ravi and Justin tackle the counterproductive regulations that have contributed to Washington’s childcare crisis, including minimum wage requirements, credentialing qualifications, staff-to-student ratios, and the impact of universal pre-K. Finally, Ravi interviews Liz Crampton, state policy reporter at Politico, about the unprecedented spending in state legislative races and how local elections could influence upper ballot races. They also discuss the repercussions of the recent primary elections in Texas, where Governor Abbott took revenge against his fellow Republican colleagues after they opposed his school voucher legislation.
