On this episode of "We're Not Wrong," hosts Jen Briny, Justin Robert Young, and Andrew Heaton are diving into some of the most pressing topics making headlines. The historic indictment of former President Donald Trump is front and center, as he pleads not guilty to 34 felony counts, including falsifying business records and alleged violations of election laws. The team will discuss the details of the "catch and kill" scheme that prosecutors say Trump orchestrated to suppress negative information ahead of the 2016 election. With Trump's lawyer vowing to fight the charges and a trial date set for December 4th, the hosts will explore whether this is a sufficient charge against a former president who is also a current candidate.

Finally, the episode will take listeners to Wisconsin, where the state's Supreme Court race has come to a close. As the most expensive state judicial race in American history, with over $45 million spent, the outcome could impact the future of abortion and other key issues in the state. The hosts will discuss the current 4-3 conservative majority on the court and the potential for change. They'll also debate the merits of selecting justices through partisan elections versus appointment and consider alternative methods for selecting high-level judicial authorities.

Join Jen, Justin, and Andrew for an insightful and thought-provoking episode of "We're Not Wrong," where they'll tackle these hot topics and share their analysis. Don't miss it!

In this episode, we explore the heated discussions surrounding TikTok. TikTok CEO Shou Chew faced intense scrutiny from Congress over concerns about user data protection and the company's ties to China. With over 150 million active users in the US, TikTok's potential removal or forced sale has sparked debates about free speech and economic disruption. The Biden administration's stance on TikTok has been inconsistent, and China has voiced opposition to a potential sale. We ask the questions: Is TikTok a threat? Should it be banned?

In the second segment, we discuss the "mansion tax" in Los Angeles. Measure ULA, known as the "mansion tax," is set to impose a transfer tax on property sales above $5 million, with higher rates for sales above $10 million. The tax, aimed at funding affordable housing and homelessness prevention, has prompted millionaire home sellers, including celebrities like Jim Carrey and Mark Wahlberg, to rush to sell their properties before the tax takes effect on April 1.

Today on the We're Not Wrong Podcast, Justin, Jen and Andrew discuss:

Biden's bailout of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank after they collapsed in the 2nd and 3rd largest bank failures in US history. Biden promised taxpayer money would not be used and that bank leadership would be fired.

Was this a bailout? Did Biden do the right thing?

Also, Tucker Carlson aired unseen footage from January 6th, including:

Footage of Jacob Chansley being led into the Capitol by police. Carlson claims this shows police helped rioters, though Capitol Police criticized this conclusion.

Footage of Officer Brian Sicknick directing rioters.

Should this footage have been aired? Was it misleading?

Congress is poised to overturn a DC law updating the city’s criminal code for the first time in 30 years. The law reduced jail time for some violent crimes, angering Republicans. Although DC’s council chair tried to withdraw the law, the Senate will vote to disapprove it after the House did. Biden signaled he would not veto the bill, allowing vulnerable Senate Democrats to support it. Should congress overturn DC's ability to rule itself?

Daylight Saving Time will spring ahead this Saturday after attempts to kill it in the Senate last year failed. Should this be abolished once and for all?

LIVE FROM SAN FRANCISCO

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gained power over Reedy Creek Improvement District, where Walt Disney World is located. Disney has controlled it since the 1960s. DeSantis targeted the district when Disney opposed a bill he supported, known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. The bill's core is the appointment of a five-person state board to oversee municipal services, such as fire protection and road maintenance, where Disney World operates. The board can raise revenue to fund services and pay off Disney's debts. DeSantis stressed that under the new structure, Disney would still be responsible for its municipal debts, and local governments would not raise taxes. Is this corporatism reigned in or government tyranny?

Also... voting machine manufacturer Dominion is suing Fox News for $1.6 billion over allegedly false reporting on its software. Recent testimony from Rupert Murdoch, founder of the conservative news network, revealed that Fox hosts like Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro "endorsed" the claim that the 2020 election was stolen. In text messages between Fox News employees, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham insulted and mocked Trump advisers Sidney Powell and Rudolph W. Giuliani. The messages suggest that even Rupert Murdoch, Fox Corporation's chairman, thought Trump's voter fraud claims were "really crazy stuff." Will Fox have to pay?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene recently called for separating the US into red and blue states and shrinking the federal government. Proponents argue this would address political and cultural differences, but critics note the challenges of determining state boundaries and allocating resources.

Meanwhile, James O'Keefe, founder of conservative group Project Veritas, announced he is leaving the organization amid conflict with its board of directors. Project Veritas is known for undercover sting operations targeting liberal groups. O'Keefe claimed he was pushed out after Veritas broke a major story about Pfizer. However, the board cited concerns about O'Keefe's spending of nonprofit funds. O'Keefe's departure raises questions about Project Veritas's future direction and legal standing.

In this episode a train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio caused an explosion and the release of hazardous chemicals into the air. Emergency crews conducted a controlled burn of the chemicals, resulting in the evacuation of residents within a 1 mi radius. Calls of a government and media blackout abound.

Also: on Sunday, a U.S. fighter jet shot down an unidentified object over Lake Huron on orders from President Joe Biden, the fourth such downing in eight days. This is part of a heightened alert following a spy balloon from China that emerged over U.S. airspace in late January. Federal officials briefed senators on Tuesday, and the National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that the objects shot down were not part of the PRC spying program or any kind of intelligence collection against the U.S., nor of alien origin.

The gang discusses expectations for state responses to disasters. Also OpenAI's ChatGPT has become a popular technology, but some are questioning its "wokeness" as it appears to be more accepting of progressive talking points than conservative ones. Nate Hochman of the National Review provides an example of how ChatGPT's responses to questions about voter fraud and voter suppression differ.
