Hunger, Power, and Political Theater

2025/07/25

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

Fees, Felons, and Shady MedicineThis 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

Trump Said What Now? A Masterclass in Trump-Speak

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

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

2025/07/11

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

2025/07/09

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

2025/07/04

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

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

When divas collide, even the unshakable must blink.But that’s just the warm-up act, because next, we tackle a story that is so fundamentally wrong it feels ripped from a dystopian novel.

Hard-Headed America, Policy Whiplash, and Oval Office Nonsense—The Week in ChaosThis week on The Final Word, we gather more undeniable evidence that Americans—bless their hearts—are hard-headed. Case in point: House Republicans narrowly passed their "Big, Beautiful..." tax plan, which, in classic form, translates to big, beautiful giveaways for the rich at the expense of everyone else.
