Episode 58: About Depressing Teen Social Media and Trusting The Biden Administration
On this episode of We’re Not Wrong, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's recent advisory underscores the deep-rooted concern over the mental health effects of excessive social media use among American youth. The advisory revealed a correlation between intensive usage and heightened mental health issues, with troubling data from Meta indicating specific dangers for teenage girls. In response, a call to action has been made to tech companies, policymakers, and parents to foster safer online environments. Amidst these developments, Montana's ban of TikTok raises questions. Is this a prelude to federal regulation?
AND... As the debt ceiling deadline nears, skepticism grows among Republican representatives, led by figures like Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), who suspect that the June 1st deadline set by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen may be a pressure tactic to force a debt limit increase. These concerns aren't confined to the right-wing faction of the party, with House Financial Services Committee Chairman, Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), also expressing doubt about the urgency of the deadline and the White House's negotiation efforts. McHenry has called for a more detailed justification for the June 1st deadline, raising questions about its legitimacy. -

Episode 56: About The Border and The Debt Ceiling
This Thursday, Title 42 will expire. What is Title 42? Title 42 is a section of the United States health law that has been used during the COVID-19 pandemic to quickly expel migrants at the border, including those seeking asylum, in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus. The policy was initially put in place under the Trump administration and has been continued under the Biden administration.
The Biden administration is cautiously considering the possibility of using the 14th Amendment as a mechanism to avoid breaching the debt ceiling, a situation that could lead to a financial crisis. This Amendment contains language stating that the public debt "shall not be questioned," which could potentially be interpreted to allow the President to continue issuing debt unilaterally. However, there are concerns about the legal standing of this approach and the potential financial and political repercussions it could bring. While Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that the U.S. could breach the debt limit by early June, leading to severe economic consequences, she also stated that using the 14th Amendment could trigger a constitutional crisis. President Biden himself has expressed hesitance about this option, indicating he hasn't decided on using it yet. -
Episode 55: About Stadium Subsidies and Third Parties (LIVE in Austin)
Recorded LIVE at the historic Alamo Drafthouse on S. Lamar in Austin
The Oakland Athletics plan to relocate to Las Vegas by 2027, following other sports franchises' departures from Oakland, sparking local outrage and ending negotiations with the city. The gang engages in a debate about public stadium subsides that leaves Andrew Heaton bleeding from the neck. We don't mention it in the show but it happened.
Next, according to a new NBC News poll, 60% of Americans, including about a third of Republicans, do not want former President Trump to run for the White House in 2024, with 30% citing potential criminal charges as a significant reason. The poll also revealed a majority of Americans do not want President Biden to seek re-election, raising questions about the possibility of a third party winning a state in the upcoming election cycle. -
Episode 53: About Tucker Carlson and Housing
On this episode of We're Not Wrong, we delve into the recent high-profile firings of Tucker Carlson from Fox News and Don Lemon from CNN and examine whether these abrupt terminations signal a wider trend in media towards cutting large contracts. We also explore the controversies surrounding both anchors, including Carlson's involvement in a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems and Lemon's contentious remarks about a presidential candidate.
In the second half of the episode, we discuss the Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) announcement of changes to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's single-family pricing policies, which aim to level the playing field for homebuyers. Will these changes may unintentionally penalize financially responsible individuals with good credit scores?

Funny and informative
A great show offering many viewpoints.
Meps
Congressional Dish kills it. This podcast is…infotainment at best. Sorry Jen.
Jen needs to do more research, but Andrew and Justin are good
The podcast is alright though Jen often seems to stick her foot in her mouth with many poorly researched answers as seen in her responses to the January 6th committee, the IRS Scandal and Lois Lerner, the recent debt ceiling fight, and her recent comments on protecting child mutilation aka trans kids. If you were to listen to Jen, you would think that the democrats can do no wrong while the republicans do nothing but wrong. Both sides are to blame! Do better research and don’t simply believe the lies that the government feeds. Justin and Andrew need to push back better when she gives poorly researched answers. I would support them if she would do better research and admit when she is wrong like with the Jan 6th committee.
