Lightning Round! (October 2019)
from Red View Blue View Podcast Hosted by Red View Blue View
It's time for another lightning round episode! Join us for a fast paced conversation about a variety of topics that have been in the news recently that we find interesting (and we think you will too), including: Does President Trump really think Colorado is a border state? Why are Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg running sweepstakes to fly supporters across the country if civil aviation pollution is a key contributor to climate change? Abortion rates are down in Colorado - is free birth control for teens the reason why? The TX custody case for 7-year old James Younger: is he in fact transgender as his mother claims? Did Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduce taxes only for the 'ultra-wealthy' but not the middle class? Have Seattle's public schools declared math is racist as part of their newly expanded ethnic studies program? 2 resources that we promised to share from this episode: NYT op-ed from David Leonhardt (linking to Salt Lake Tribune reprint to avoid NYT paywall restrictions): https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/commentary/2019/10/07/david-leonhardt-rich/ Forbes' rebuttal: https://www.forbes.com/sites/howardgleckman/2019/10/11/are-us-billionaires-really-paying-a-lower-tax-rate-than-working-people-probably-not/
