Ravi kicks off the show by unpacking the latest economic headlines, from inflation trends to the impact of Trump’s unpredictable trade policies and how they could impact businesses and consumers. He also takes a closer look at Elon Musk, explaining why unlikely voices like Bill Burr and Dave Portnoy have criticized the billionaire over the past week and what it might mean for Musk’s future at the helm of DOGE. Ravi then turns to the Department of Education, which announced earlier this week that it had laid off 1,300 workers, effectively gutting its staff and raising serious questions about funding for schools nationwide.
Finally, Stacey Shells Harvey, CEO of Regeneration Schools, joins Ravi to share her firsthand account of what it’s like to run schools in 2025. Stacey explains how the latest immigration policies have impacted schools, the state of student discipline, and how social media continues to fuel violence among kids. Stacey and Ravi also dive into pop culture, touching on everything from Kanye West and Meghan Markle to the rise of self-produced docuseries and whether they truly serve the interests of the audience.
