He’s Not Wrong

The 218th Signature with Congresswoman-Elect Adelita Grijalva

In a moment unlike anything in modern U.S. history, Congress is refusing to seat a duly elected member and the stakes are far bigger than one district in Arizona. Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva joins He’s Not Wrong to expose why she’s been blocked from taking the oath of office by Speaker Mike Johnson. Spoiler: she would be the 218th signature on a bipartisan petition to release the Epstein files.
But while political games play out in Washington, the people of Arizona’s 7th Congressional District are paying the price. More than 800,000 residents, including border communities, working families, veterans, and federal workers, have been left without a voice in Congress during a government shutdown. Constituent services are halted. Paychecks are frozen. Families are navigating economic uncertainty without support, and one of the most diverse, vulnerable regions in the country is effectively silenced, all because one woman might have the power to demand accountability.
This is about more than a procedural delay. It’s about democracy, justice, and whether voters still decide who represents them or whether the powerful do.

Gay Valimont Wants to Engage Y'all

What happens after a campaign ends? For Gay Valimont, her election loss in Florida wasn’t the end of the story, it was the beginning of something bigger. In this episode of He’s Not Wrong, Gay opens up about life after the campaign trail, the unexpected beauty that came out of defeat, and the hope she’s found in the progress made along the way.
Out of that moment, she launched Engage, Y’all PAC, a new political action committee designed to fill the gaps where the establishment too often overlooks communities, candidates, and people who deserve to be heard. For too long, national politics have ignored Southern communities unless they’re considered “swingy” enough. Engage, Y’all is changing that. The PAC invests early and aggressively in candidates running in the places the establishment left behind - rural, red, and ready for change.
With a focus on grassroots organizing, mentorship, and movement-building, Gay is helping to transform loss into lasting change. She knows power grows from the dirt up, and she believes the South is fertile ground for it.
Join us as we talk about resilience, the lessons campaigns can teach us, and why the fight for a more just and inclusive political future is only just beginning.Get involved with Engage, Y'all PAC: www.engageyall.com

The State of the Democratic Party with Mallory Hagan

For nearly two decades, Democrats in Alabama have struggled to win statewide - losing ground, resources, and voter trust. In this episode, I sit down with former Miss America and political trailblazer Mallory Hagan for an honest conversation about how the party collapsed, and what it will take to bring it back.
Mallory and I break down the internal dysfunction, the uphill battle, and fundraising failures that left Alabama without a competitive two-party system and why that matters for everyone, regardless of political affiliation. We talk about the importance of competitive primaries (even within the Republican Party), the urgent need to recruit strong candidates who can fundraise and build name recognition, and how Democrats can rebuild real infrastructure and community trust from the ground up.
This conversation isn’t about dwelling on the past, it’s about building the future.

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.Got a hot take? Think you’re not wrong about something?

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.
