Oregon Ready to Repeal, Housing Market Headaches, Assessing Vivek

Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg follow up on a recent martini and welcome even more evidence that Oregon voters are ready to reverse the 2020 referendum that gave people possessing hard drugs like heroin and fentanyl a small fine instead of jail time. A new poll shows a strong majority of Oregon voters ready for a full repeal or significant changes to the law. They also cringe at the state of the housing market as interest rates keep rising and the inventory of houses on the market plummets compared to pre-pandemic levels. Finally, they take a closer look at Vivek Ramaswamy and whether recent controversies about his statements on Israel and Taiwan are unfair to him or whether Vivek is not ready for the big stage.
