We're Not Wrong

The gang talks through the ongoing problems facing travelers as TSA delays continue to build up. With the Democrats balking at their initial proposal in order to ask for additional ICE restrictions, what solution — if any — can we find to this DHS shutdown? Then they discuss a new piece in The Atlantic arguing that former Jezebel writer Lindy West's new memoir marks the end of "millennial feminism."Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:11:03 - Iran00:22:54 - DHS Shutdown00:47:14 - Millennial Feminism01:11:36 - Emails01:53:55 - Wrap-up

The gang breaks down Arizona’s lawsuit against prediction market platform Kalshi, which the state says is illegally operating as a gambling business by allowing bets on elections and sports. Kalshi argues its contracts are federally regulated financial products, setting up a broader fight over whether states can police prediction markets at all. Then they turn to what some are calling an “intimacy crisis,” as fewer Americans form relationships and loneliness rises despite humans being wired for connection. With dating apps, economic stress, and online culture all playing a role, they ask whether modern life is pulling people away from real relationships.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:11:12 - Prediction Markets00:46:00 - Intimacy Crisis01:14:42 - Emails01:36:08 - Wrap-up

The gang breaks down a sweeping investigation into hospice care in LA County, where hundreds of providers show warning signs of fraud. With some providers billing Medicare despite reporting zero patients and average billing far above the national average, they debate whether this is a systemic failure or a contained abuse of the system. Then they turn to Florida, where lawmakers are advancing a bill that could open land near the Everglades to housing construction. A good way to ease housing shortages, or a risk for floods and poor drinking water?Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:19:14 - Hospice Fraud00:56:20 - Everglades01:15:30 - Emails01:34:22 - Wrap-up

The gang breaks down the escalating conflict with Iran after the U.S. launched Operation Epic Fury, a sweeping air and missile campaign targeting Iranian military infrastructure that reportedly killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and triggered retaliation across the region. With Iranian missile and drone attacks already underway and fears of broader escalation rising, they ask what the long term legacy of the operation could be for U.S. foreign policy and the Middle East.Then they turn to the BAFTA Awards controversy after a guest with Tourette syndrome involuntarily shouted a racial slur during a live presentation featuring actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo.

The gang breaks down the controversy surrounding Rep. Tony Gonzales after explicit text messages between him and former staffer Regina Santos-Aviles surfaced, prompting resignation calls and ethical questions about power dynamics in Congress. With Gonzales denying wrongdoing and calling the backlash politically motivated, they ask whether he should step aside or stay in the race. Then they turn to the Olympic culture war, as celebrations of Team USA’s gold medals collide with partisan backlash, White House invitations, and viral locker room politics. When did rooting for American athletes become a political statement?Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:14:36 - State of the Union00:32:15 - Tony Gonzales00:54:35 - Olympic Culture War01:15:13 - Emails01:36:17 - Wrap-up

The gang debates the SAVE America Act, the proposal requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Supporters say it strengthens election integrity, while opponents argue noncitizen voting is already illegal and rare and warn the documentation requirements could disenfranchise eligible voters. Then they turn to “Amelia,” the purple haired character from a UK government-backed anti-extremism game called Pathways, who became an unlikely internet mascot after critics argued her concerns about immigration and national identity were framed as extremism. How exactly did a government messaging tool turn into a meme?Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:10:01 - Halftime Show Emails00:26:29 - SAVE America00:59:12 - Brief Kid Rock-RFK Jr. Thoughts01:01:53 - Amelia01:21:30 - Emails01:32:34 - Wrap-up

The gang dives into the political turmoil sweeping Europe, where major leaders are seeing their approval ratings crater. From Keir Starmer’s record-low numbers in the UK to Emmanuel Macron’s struggles in France and Friedrich Merz’s challenges in Germany, Justin, Jen, and Heaton explore why incumbents across the continent are facing voter backlash and what it means for the rise of far-right movements. Then they turn to a jaw-dropping Olympic moment, as a Norwegian bronze medalist uses his post-race interview to confess to cheating on his girlfriend in a bid to win her back.

The gang digs into the massive new release of Epstein-related documents and the public reaction to yet another transparency dump that raises more questions than it answers. From who gets named to what “appearing in the files” actually means, they talk through how information spreads, how narratives form, and why ambiguity fuels speculation. Then they pivot to a study on “kind lying,” debating when honesty is overrated, when lies are socially rewarded, and what people really want when they say they want the truth.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:14:33 - Epstein01:04:20 - "Kind Lying"01:25:46 - Emails01:46:04 - Wrap-up

The gang breaks down the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti during a Minneapolis protest against ICE, as federal officials quietly change their public posture amid growing backlash. With video evidence contradicting early claims and questions mounting about the agents’ actions, they ask what the most important unanswered piece of the story really is. Then they turn to the so called “substation theory,” as Super Bowl bound teams avoid the 49ers’ training facility over concerns that a nearby electrical substation may be linked to unusually high injury rates. Is there anything to the theory, or is this just another case of pattern seeking in sports?Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:10:45 - Minnesota ICE Shooting00:52:44 - Substation Theory01:11:55 - Emails01:33:22 - Wrap-up
