Today’s headlines spotlight America’s ongoing reckoning with race and authority. In New York, two officers had to wrestle a police dog off a Black man—bitten during a funeral procession while simply standing nearby. In Georgia, a Black veteran driving his infant daughter to sleep around his former military base was interrogated and blocked by a barefoot white man demanding to know what he was doing there. And in North Carolina, a Black truck driver delivering mulch was ambushed by white construction workers, who allegedly slammed a door on his dog, surrounded his rig with bulldozers, and made threats—an incident partially caught on video now going viral. Plus:
Topic Tuesday – When’s the right time for Millennial parents to start putting their kids on to the good music? We’re talking Soulja Boy to Sade, Missy to Mos Def. It’s race, resistance, parenting—and why the aux cord might just be political.

Pastor Sherry Lupton delivers a passionate sermon to her congregation.

Today’s headlines pull no punches. The Smithsonian quietly removed—and now plans to restore—mention of Donald Trump’s two impeachments from its exhibit on presidential history. Meanwhile, Texas Republicans are redrawing the congressional map, carving out more GOP-leaning districts and sparking fears of blatant gerrymandering and voter suppression. But the main story? The Trump administration is going full steam ahead with its immigration crackdown, promising $50,000 signing bonuses to fill over 14,000 new ICE jobs. With billions in funding and a quota of 1 million deportations a year, the U.S. is bracing for the largest recruitment drive since the draft—but this time, the target is immigrant communities, not foreign armies. The rhetoric is bold. The policies are bolder. And the impact? That’s what we’re unpacking today.

Today’s episode is a powerful one. We sit down with Jessica Lopez, a mother, survivor, and activist whose life has been shaped by the very systems she’s fought against. After spending 10 months incarcerated for her role in the protests that followed the 2020 police shooting of Ricardo Muñoz in Lancaster, Jessica is finally home—and ready to speak her truth. From childhood trauma and sexual assault, to losing her father to deportation and navigating her mother’s incarceration, Jessica’s story isn’t just about survival. It’s about resilience, resistance, and reclaiming her narrative in a city still grappling with injustice. She’s not just talking reform—she’s living it.

Get ready to clutch your Teddy Ruxpin and side-eye every adult from your childhood — because ShizzyGetBizzy’s Top 10 this week is all about the lies we were told as kids. From "If you swallow gum, it’ll stay in your stomach for 7 years" to "You’ll never have a calculator in your pocket when you grow up" (hello, iPhone), this list is packed with nostalgic nonsense and comedic truth bombs. Whether it's Santa Claus, career promises, or that glass of milk you had to finish, Shizzy’s diving deep into the childhood myth files — and calling out every grown-up who sold us dreams with a straight face.

Today’s episode is a reality check in every sense. First, we cover the heartbreaking case of Jaysen Carr, a South Carolina boy who died from a brain-eating amoeba after swimming in a lake. His parents are now pushing for stronger warnings at local water spots. Southern summer fun shouldn’t come with hidden, microscopic death traps. Then: NFL drama takes a turn for the uncomfortable. Christian Wilkins was reportedly cut from the Las Vegas Raiders after giving a teammate a playful kiss on the head. That $110 million contract? Gone. Whether it was miscommunication or homophobia, it’s raising eyebrows — and questions — across the sports world. And in what sounds like a horror movie but is unfortunately real life, a Philadelphia family discovered their veteran son’s brain had been returned to them in a cardboard box. The funeral homes involved are being sued for what the family calls "gross misconduct." Words fail. Main Story: The Job Market May Be Fine — But Not for Black Women.
Despite headlines saying the economy is rebounding, Black women are being pushed out of the workforce at alarming rates. In just three months, over 300,000 have lost jobs. And more than 500,000 never returned after the pandemic. With DEI rollbacks and federal layoffs, this isn’t just an economic issue — it’s a national crisis in equity.

This Topic Tuesday hits you with the good, the wild, and the deeply disturbing. We’re kicking things off with a climate experiment straight out of sci-fi: California researchers secretly planned to spray salt water into the atmosphere over an ocean area bigger than Puerto Rico — all in an effort to dim the sun’s rays. (No, seriously. We’re apparently auditioning for Mad Max: Cloud Edition now.) Meanwhile, President Trump denied disaster relief to Maryland after catastrophic flooding devastated Allegany and Garrett counties — while greenlighting aid for four other states. Governor Wes Moore asked for $16 million in FEMA funds, but got ghosted. So… climate change is real, but fairness in relief? Not so much. And in Oregon, a Black man has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit after being racially profiled, assaulted, and detained by cowboy cosplayers in the local sheriff’s “posse.” Armed volunteers, zero accountability, and yeehaw-level racial profiling? Welcome to the Wild West of law enforcement. Main Segment: Topic Tuesday — Black Superheroes & Sidekicks.
Who made us proud? Who made us cringe? From Blade to Blankman, we break down the best and worst Black superhero portrayals ever put on screen.

This episode dives deep into the intersections of policy, humanity, and power — and what happens when they break. We begin with devastating news out of Gaza, where dozens of children and adults have died from starvation in July. With medical supplies cut off under Israel’s blockade, even treatable malnourishment is now fatal. We shift to a major medical milestone as the first babies with three biological parents are born using a groundbreaking technique to prevent mitochondrial disease. Science fiction is officially science fact. We also cover the chilling case of Adam Makowka, who scaled a fire escape armed with an AR-15, entered a woman's apartment, and emptied the entire clip — sparking deeper conversations about domestic violence and gun access. Our Main Story spotlights a disturbing trend: the rise of whites-only “intentional communities.” In Arkansas, a far-right group is openly pushing segregation under the guise of rural living, quoting phrases like, “Forming white communities is the ultimate goal.” It’s a lot. It’s urgent. And it’s happening now — on The Mornin’ Experience.

Today’s episode brings the drama, the heartbreak, and the slow jams — thanks to ShizzyGetBizzy's Top 10 List of the Most Desperate R&B Lyrics of All Time. From begging on voicemail to crying in the rain with no umbrella, these lyrics have us asking: “Are you okay, sir?” We break down the thirstiest ballads that had artists sacrificing all dignity in the name of love. Did your favorite desperate anthem make the list? Was it "Baby, please just smell my shirt" or "I’ll pay your rent, I'll be your friend"? Tune in and find out which R&B legends took emotional damage to new heights — and which ones still kinda hit in 2025. It’s hilarious, nostalgic, and full of heart. Only on The Mornin’ Experience.

Today’s show is a jaw-dropper from start to finish. The U.S. Department of Labor wants to roll back more than 60 workplace regulations — including protections for home health workers and exposure to harmful substances. What could go wrong? We also unpack the disturbing case of a Colorado man who died during cataract surgery while doctors allegedly played “music bingo.” His family just reached a settlement — but justice still feels blurry. In heartbreaking news, Cosby Show actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner has reportedly died in a drowning incident. We look at the legacy he leaves behind and the shock this news has sent through the entertainment world. Plus, COVID cases are creeping up again — especially among kids — with emergency room visits reaching new highs since March. And in today’s main story: A California hospital is accused of hiding a patient’s death after allegedly harvesting her organs illegally. The details are harrowing — missing skin, missing eyes, and a family kept in the dark. We dig into the lawsuit and what it says about medical ethics and accountability. You don’t want to miss this one. All that and more, only on The Mornin’ Experience.
