Uvalde Timeline, Durham Probe, SCOTUS Leak, Housing Market

Cory runs down what we know about the timeline of the Uvalde shooting and the police response, as Ravi and Rikki criticize their cautious approach and question the communication breakdown that led to it. The hosts then revisit their stances on gun reform.

Rikki talks us through what we’re learning from the Durham probe and Hillary Clinton’s role in spreading faulty information on Trump’s Russia ties, as Ravi and Cory push back on the sweeping narrative claiming there was never anything to the Mueller probe or similar investigations.

Rikki explains the intensifying hunt for the leaker at the Supreme Court, requiring clerks to hand over cell phone records and sign affidavits.

Ravi unpacks the state of the housing market and argues it isn’t yet a bubble much less one near popping. Rikki delves into how big cities are pricing out their residents and making it far too hard to build new housing as Ravi discusses the simple supply-demand gap that’s keeping homes at elevated values.
