  • Hurricane Katrina: Lessons 20 Years Later with Lt. General Russel Honoré

    General Russel Honoré joins He's Not Wrong for a wide-angle look at leadership when everything is on the line. We revisit his command of Joint Task Force Katrina, how he cut through confusion to move people, supplies, and information, and what the public still gets wrong about those weeks on the Gulf Coast.

    He shares hard lessons on chain of command, clear communication, and speed of execution, then connects them to today’s risks from stronger storms, aging infrastructure, and industrial corridors that place families near toxic sites.

    We talk about why preparedness starts at the neighborhood level, how officials can simplify plans so they actually work, and what businesses, schools, and households should do before the next siren sounds.

  • Republicans Hate Their Own Reflection

    This week’s episode of He’s Not Wrong covers everything from Bama Rush chaos and the boys with double-stacked Styrofoam cups who gave me college PTSD, to responding to TikTok hate (spoiler: most of it is just recycled gay hate). I clap back on the Taylor Swift emissions discourse and explain why Exxon, not Taylor, deserves your outrage.

    Then we dig into ICE recruitment, Ana Kasparian’s strange right wing appearances, and the money fueled influence of AIPAC where bipartisanship is bought, not built. I commend Gavin Newsom for holding up a mirror to Republican hypocrisy and break down the Biden administration’s RealPage settlement, exposing how corporate price fixing has jacked up rent for millions.

    Finally, I tackle censorship in schools, the dangerous erasure of history, and wrap with a listener voicemail about K Pop Demon Hunters.

  • Your Silence is Deafening

    From my therapist literally falling asleep mid-session in Washington, DC, to a worldwide listener update, this week’s He’s Not Wrong covers a lot of ground. I dive into Part 8 of my “Comprehensive List of What I’m Not Wrong About” before unpacking the latest Supreme Court moves on gay marriage and why Republican silence is deafening. We talk about the pain of losing friends over politics, the defunding of a suicide hotline that saved lives, and why Texas Democrats’ bold tactics are a masterclass in creative resistance. Plus, a jaw-dropping Christian nationalist clip, a live call with Connor about weddings, and a “Not Wrong” take from a viewer in New Jersey.

  • Being Apolitical Is a Luxury of the Privileged

    This week, He’s Not Wrong takes a hard look at the price of political apathy and the authoritarian blueprint unfolding before us. From gerrymandering in Texas to Trump’s executive order criminalizing poverty, to Palantir’s expanding surveillance state, this episode connects the dots between policy, power, and control. Plus, a quick intro for new listeners and the viral “Not Wrong” lists that are growing the audience.

  • Stop Platforming Jillian Michaels

    This week on He's Not Wrong, we’re saying the quiet parts out loud. From the rise of modern-day concentration camps to the twisted reality of people defending billionaire interests over their own, this episode is a no-holds-barred breakdown of the chaos we're living through.

    We dig into the insanity of giving platforms to people like Jillian Michaels, the truth behind corporate consulting firms buying influence on legislation, and the disturbing imbalance of power between voters and corporations. It’s raw, necessary, and long overdue.

    This conversation needed to be on the record.

  • You Want to Save Our Land? Then Who Did You Vote For?

    This week on He’s Not Wrong, I’ve got a lot to say.

    We kick things off with a breakdown of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s $50 million wedding in Venice, complete with eco-hypocrisy, questionable guest lists, and the larger issue of celebrity influence. From there, we dive into the performative environmentalism of MAGA voters, the dangers of Project 2025, and what’s really at stake when the EPA is gutted and national parks are opened up for drilling.

    Also on the docket:

    • Why Supreme Court decisions on birthright citizenship signal more than legal chaos. They point to an agenda targeting civil rights across the board.

    • How the “Big Beautiful Bill” is quietly stripping healthcare from hundreds of thousands, despite being wildly unpopular with voters.

    • My latest TikTok rabbit hole: women giving each other DIY botox injections at backyard “tox parties.” Spoiler: many of them are MAHA Mommies crying “informed medical decisions”. Make it make sense.

      And of course, we close out with a sharp look at Senator Lisa Murkowski’s political theater: a masterclass in holding the nation hostage for the spotlight.

    • I Always Make Sure the Airplane is Not Upside Down

      It's a new week at He's Not Wrong and we are going to talk about what’s happening - because somehow this week includes barn doors on hotel bathrooms (a terrible idea), a TikTok that put me on the Savannah Bananas’ radar, and Trump’s new “phone plan” that you didn’t ask for but probably need to know about.

      We’ll also touch on pageants, the chaos of travel, and yes - finally settle the debate on the right way to hang toilet paper. You’re not wrong to question everything. Let’s get it!

    • Authoritarianism Creeps in When We Are Silent

      This episode is a rundown of headlines and a warning. The MAGA movement isn’t just extreme, it’s coordinated, calculated, and already reshaping the country in dangerous ways.

      I break down how Trump’s team is staging mass deportation theater for campaign optics, using human lives as political props — even as Biden quietly outpaces him in deportation numbers. We look at Project 2025, page 555, and its blueprint for militarized immigration enforcement already being implemented on the ground.

      We also talk about the silencing of dissent — from ABC firing veteran journalist Terry Moran for criticizing Trump, to the broader chilling effect rippling through the press. And we examine the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, a political act of domestic terrorism inspired by MAGA extremism — and enabled by a Republican Party that refuses to confront the violence it fuels.

      If that weren’t enough: Trump made over $600 million last year — off crypto, NFTs, Bible merch, and licensing deals — while building a movement rooted in fear, exclusion, and authoritarianism. This isn’t governance. It’s grift at the expense of democracy.

      I close this episode with a personal tribute to Melissa Hortman — a leader who embodied decency, courage, and conviction. Her legacy is a reminder of the kind of public service we should demand — and the stakes of what we stand to lose.

      This isn’t about left vs. right. It’s about democracy vs. dictatorship. And the time to speak up is now.

    • Savannah Bananas Are Drag for Straight People

      This episode was almost postponed for good—until I got a haircut. But now that I’m freshly trimmed and ready to be seen, we’re diving into a jam-packed episode of He’s Not Wrong.

      First up: I finally say it out loud—the Savannah Bananas are a drag show for straight people, and yes, I will die on this hill. From lip syncing to costume theatrics, we unpack the queer lineage of performance art that paved the way for banana-ball. Then we go deep on why baby-style TikTok lip syncing needs to stop, like yesterday. Full commitment or nothing!

      Next, I take on Verizon’s gaslighting and the brutal math of overpriced phone bills. Spoiler: I switched to T-Mobile and saved $205 a month. I’m not saying this as an ad—I’m saying it as a wake-up call.

      And finally, I give you a chaotic glimpse into the future of storytelling: AI-generated vertical soap operas with names like “Objection! I’m Not Gay!” Yes, that’s real. Yes, I’m obsessed. And yes, vertical TV is coming whether we like it or not.

      Plus, a listener voice memo from Laney in Denver shares what she's not wrong about, and I couldn’t agree more.

      Heads up: Part 2 drops immediately after this one and it’s all headlines and hot takes. Stay tuned.
