This week as famine deepens in Gaza, we trace the humanitarian catastrophe to its roots: decades of failed diplomacy, strategic blockades, and the silent complicity of global powers. We also look at Jacksonville, Florida, as outrage mounts over a viral video showing a Black man assaulted during a traffic stop.

We also examine why sealed documents in the Kohberger case remain out of public reach, raising questions about transparency in high-profile trials. Meanwhile, the name “Epstein” re-emerges, and reportedly Attorney General Pam Bondi delivered the news to Donald Trump about his ties to those files back in May.

Then, in a twist that defies political precedent, Trump and DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard accuse former President Obama of treason—sparking what they claim is an official investigation. And on Capitol Hill, the Kennedy Center finds itself at the center of a culture war, with House Republicans tying federal funding to a rebranding of its opera house in honor of Melania Trump.

Fees, Felons, and Shady Medicine

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we hand a big ol’ thank-you to listener Gordon A. for spotting the latest legislative sneak attack: a shiny new travel fee to enter the U.S., buried deep in the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” like it’s a footnote in fine print nobody reads. (Except Gordon. Gordon reads.)

Next up, we give some serious stank-eye to the Los Angeles Innocence Project, who apparently thinks Scott Peterson deserves a do-over. Girl, what?

And hold onto your medical history, because the New York Times is raising alarms about the organ transplant hustle putting donors in danger. We’re talking real lives, real risk, and a whole lotta "wait, what?"

If it's sketchy, shady, or just plain wrong—we're dragging it into the spotlight. Tune in for truth, sass, and the kind of outrage you didn’t know you needed until now.

First, Trump calls his own Epstein-file-demanding supporters “stupid,” which is a bit rich coming from the man who once claimed windmills cause cancer. Then, the former president teases firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell like he's choosing toppings at a froyo bar—“Maybe I will, maybe I won’t... extra sprinkles?”

Meanwhile, is the Justice Department playing election "games," asking nine states for their voter rolls?Meanwhile Trump plays cartographer-in-chief, nudging Texas to redraw its congressional map like it's a sketchpad at Mar-a-Lago. And in a financial finale, Wall Street semi-quivers as Trump enters the chat with all the subtlety of a bull in a China shop—except this bull occasionally insists he’s also a genius.

It’s unhinged, it's exhausting, it's America. Tune in for the chaos, stay for the catharsis.

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re serving the side-eye with a splash of righteous rage—and the nonsense is boiling over.

First, we tackle the lingering mystery around the Trump shooting. Was it political? Personal? Just plain bizarre? You tell us if we’ve lost our minds or if reality has taken a long walk off a short pier.

Then—drumroll, please—this band just admitted they’re AI. Yep, your favorite synth-pop group might literally be synth. So if you’ve ever wondered whether your playlists are gaslighting you, now’s your answer.

Meanwhile in California, a federal judge ruled the LAPD cannot shoot journalists with “less-lethal” weapons during protests. Because nothing says “freedom of the press” like getting bean bagged for reporting the news.

And if you thought Superman just stood for truth, justice, and great cheekbones, guess again—the new movie’s inspiration has the bigots in full meltdown mode. We say let them cry faster than a speeding bullet.

Finally, the National Park Service quietly erased “transgendered” and “bisexual” from the Stonewall Monument website. Oh, we noticed—and yes, we’re loudly calling B.S.

Tune in for all that and more as we cut through the chaos, drag the dumb, and remind you: when it feels wrong, it probably is.

We start with the heartbreak and devastation of the Texas floods—because when climate meets crisis and leadership fails to show up, you get communities underwater while officials are stuck on hold. And speaking of delays, we’ve got a closer look at FEMA’s molasses-in-January response, reportedly gummed up by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, whose qualifications seem limited to photo ops and bad decisions.

Then it’s time to play another round of “What Did Trump Say Now?” First, he’s threatening 50% tariffs on Brazil over what he calls the Bolsonaro ‘witch hunt’ trial—because nothing screams diplomacy like defending authoritarian bros. Next, we get copper tariffs (because sure, why not), and he manages to publicly praise the Liberian president’s “good English.” We would explain why that’s offensive, but y’all already know.

And in the Department of Deep State Drama, the FBI is now investigating former CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey—because apparently, if you ever made Trump feel small in a press conference, you’re on the hit list.

He also threatened to take control of New York City and Washington, D.C., like he’s auditioning to be Gotham’s worst villain. And finally, Attorney General Pam Bondi has done a full magic trick: she now claims the Epstein files she promised to release... never existed. Girl, where’d they go? 

We break it all down with fire, fury, and the kind of laughs you need to stay sane in this mess. Tune in to The Final Word, where the absurd gets unpacked and truth gets the last mic drop

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we are handing out the longest, hardest, most furious side-eye to I.C.E., because what they're doing is not liberty, it's lunacy.

Did you know that eight of the so-called “Founding Fathers” were immigrants? And the rest were just a generation or two removed from the boat? So how is it, on a day that’s supposed to celebrate freedom from repression, I.C.E. is out here conducting nationwide raids like it's some kind of dystopian scavenger hunt?

We take a closer look at the inhumane treatment exposed by one woman’s account of being handcuffed for 16 hours on a bus without food or water. That’s not enforcement—that's torture with paperwork.

We unpack how I.C.E. has been granted powers that feel unconstitutional on a good day, and terrifying on every other. But we’re not stopping at outrage—we’re talking about friction. How to slow it down, jam it up, and make sure we’re showing up for our neighbors.

So if you think freedom should be for everyone, not just the people certain politicians approve of—this episode is for you. Tune in. Get fired up. Let’s make some noise.

Go to https://www.stopice.net/ to help alert people to ICE actions or text "JOIN" to (877)322-2299 & then text "REPORT" to warn people.

This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela—aka Frangela—

First up, Trump’s so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill"—a budget plan so lopsided it should come with a warning label: May cause nausea, especially for the poor and working class. Hate? Funded. Housing, healthcare, and hope? Not so much. But don’t worry, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is out here doing overtime trying to delay the mess long enough for someone to read it… maybe.

Meanwhile, justice showed up with receipts: a federal judge blocked Trump's move to shut down asylum claims at the southern border. Take that, cruelty-as-policy. And in Wisconsin, the state Supreme Court finally did what 175 years of bad law couldn’t—strike down that archaic abortion ban. Somebody get the champagne and the petitions.

Then we break down the strange bedfellows drama that is Trump vs. Elon, which feels less like politics and more like a sleepover fight about who gets the top bunk. Threats of primaries, deportation, and bad vibes are flying—and it’s extremely unserious.

Oh, and Paramount just dropped $16 million to settle Trump’s lawsuit, proving that even Hollywood knows it’s cheaper to pay up than to hang out with MAGA.

And finally, while floods, fires, and disasters rage, folks across the country are asking, “Where is FEMA?” But apparently, FEMA ghosted—and the Trump administration’s not returning calls either.

All that, plus your emails, on The Final Word. It’s hot, it’s hilarious, and it’s exactly what you need to make sense of the mess.

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re not just raising eyebrows—we’re raising hell.

First up, “King” Trump, in his latest episode of Presidential Pouting, says New York City will “not get any money” if Zohran Mamdani wins the Democratic primary for mayor. Oh, we’re doing hostage negotiations over election results now? Sir, this is a democracy, not The Real Housewives of MAGA-Lago.

Then, down in Texas, where logic goes to sweat and die, the Attorney General is pushing to execute Robert Roberson before his appeal can be heard. That’s right—Texas is basically saying, “Due process is cute and all, but let’s just get this over with.”

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court’s conservative/monarchist majority (because robes apparently come with crowns now) decided to weaken the ability of federal courts to block harmful executive policies. So basically, they just threw a wrench into the last emergency brake we had left.

And finally, we talk about the grim assault on Trans healthcare, as the Trump administration continues its crusade to strip Trans Americans of access, dignity, and basic civil rights. Because apparently cruelty is not just the point—it’s the policy.

It’s ugly out there, y’all. But if you’re looking for righteous rage, sharp laughs, and a whole lot of truth-telling, Something Ain’t Right is here to break it down and hold the line.

This week on The Final Word, we bring you a very special episode featuring New York Times bestselling author Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs—and trust us, you do not want to miss this conversation.

We dive deep into her groundbreaking first book, The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation, and her instant bestseller, Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden From Us. This isn’t just a discussion—it’s a masterclass in history, resistance, and the power of reclaiming narratives that have been buried for far too long.

We talk everything—from the Founding "Fathers" to the critical role of motherhood, from building community to imagining and working for a better America. And yes, we tackle the last election and what we need to do to make sure it wasn’t the last election.

This conversation left us empowered, invigorated, and hopeful for the first time since last November. We promise you’ll learn, laugh, and leave energized—ready to take action and fight for the future we know is possible.

Do not miss this episode—and get your copy of Erased now: https://annamalaikatubbs.com/bookshelf/

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive headfirst into the deeply uncomfortable—because sometimes, feeling uneasy is just part of knowing something is seriously wrong.

First up, Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Fraser’s new book, Murderland takes us on a chilling journey through the serial killer hotspot that is the Pacific Northwest—specifically Tacoma, Washington. Why do so many infamous murderers seem to have operated there? And more importantly, why are we just now asking this question?

Then, we explore the newest form of DEI thriving on college campuses—apparently, conservative professors are now a minority group. That’s right, the same folks who spent years railing against diversity initiatives are now demanding their own. Irony is alive and well.

Meanwhile, in the latest theological twist, empathy is now a sin. The idea that compassion is a tool of Satan has moved from the far-right fringes into mainstream conservative media, thanks to its most enthusiastic believers: Elon Musk and J.D. Vance. Because apparently, caring about people is now a gateway to moral corruption.

And finally, we tackle the awkward but necessary conversation: how to talk to someone dealing with depression. Saying the right thing can feel impossible, but avoiding the wrong thing? That’s a skill worth learning. We break down real strategies for showing up and supporting—because sometimes, discomfort is just part of being human.

Life is full of uneasy moments, but knowing the difference between what feels bad and what is actually wrong? That’s what we’re here for. Tune in to Something Ain’t Right—we’ll help you sort it out.
