This week on The Final Word, we ask the question no one dared to utter aloud: Whatever happened to the charming racism? You know, the kind that wore a monocle and said “those people” with a genteel sneer instead of a bullhorn and a MAGA hat. Trump’s latest “naturally” racist musings have us wondering if subtlety is dead—or just deported.

Meanwhile, the Epstein saga continues to unravel like a badly written soap opera, and the Trump ...

Hold on tight, y’all—because this week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re flying straight into the storm of nonsense. First up: Is Delta letting A.I. set their airfares now? So basically, the robots are up-charging us for legroom and trauma. Fantastic. 

Then it’s a peek behind the political curtain, where Laura Loomer—yes, her again—is out here getting folks bounced from the Trump orbit. Did...

Buckle up folks—this episode of The Final Word is giving "plot twist" energy. We dive into the disturbing assault of Virginia City Councilman Lee Vogler (spoiler: not political, just plain awful), then take a stroll down Conspiracy Lane as Senate Democrats dust off an ancient lawbook trying to pry open Epstein’s mystery vault. Ghislaine Maxwell wants to testify before Congress... with a list of dem...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re serving a full-course meal of messed-up madness—with a heavy pour of side-eye.

First up, immigration agents tell a U.S. citizen teenager that he’s got “no rights.” Um, what year is it again?! Then we shift to the climate emergency you probably missed: the world’s first planned national migration is underway as Tuvalu inches toward being swallowed ...

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 ...

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 think...

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 ...

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 liter...

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 ...

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 r...

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.

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 an...

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.

In this very special edition of The Final Word, we are honored to introduce you to Tim Myers—musician, founder of OneRepublic and Palladium Records, and the man we believe will flip California’s 41st district and unseat a 33-year MAGA Republican incumbent.

Tim Meyers is bringing energy, compassion, intelligence, and real-world solutions to the issues that affect all of us—from affordable housing to economic opportunity to protecting...

Uno Madness, The War on Porn, and Trump’s ‘Remigration’—Chaos Is in Session

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive into the absurdity gripping the nation, starting with the unexpected controversy of the moment: Uno. Yes, the classic card game, beloved for generations, is apparently tearing adults apart over unclear rules, rogue house variations, and the devastating social implications of the Reverse card. This is why we can’t h...

Alright y’all, let’s set the record straight—because this week, the nonsense levels are off the charts.

First up, the deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles isn’t about law and order—it’s theater. That’s right, we’re talking big-budget political cosplay, complete with dramatic speeches, unnecessary uniforms, and absolutely zero solutions.

Then, we dive into our toxic relationship with Governor Gavin ...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we take a deep dive into the latest batch of "Wait, what?!" headlines, starting with the month-old city of Starbase, Texas—Elon Musk’s personal sci-fi experiment, home to SpaceX, and now the site of a zoning ordinance that could strip residents of their property rights. Because nothing says "Welcome to the Future" like a billionaire casually rewriting land laws.

Then, in a plot twi...

This week on The Final Word, Frangela takes a deep dive into the latest wave of fiscal irresponsibility, bureaucratic nonsense, and barely concealed discrimination—now available in convenient executive order form!

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we wade into the latest Broadway drama starring the legendary Patti LuPone, who may have finally found the one thing powerful enough to make her apologize500 other Broadway stars. 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. Kansas law is forcing women to...
