Summary
This week on Something Ain’t Right, the pattern is clear: cruelty isn’t a bug, it’s the feature. The White House has launched a “Media Offenders” site and tipline—because apparently Big Brother needed a snitch line. New border rules could require selfies and five years of social media history, proving that privacy is now just a punchline. Meanwhile, Chinese billionaires are having dozens of U.S.‑born babies via surrogates, because loopholes are the new luxury item. And the U.S. government is literally designing memes to mainstream sadopopulism—weaponizing LOLs to spread the ugly. Frangela is here to laugh, scream, and side‑eye through the madness, because honestly… something ain’t right.

| 2:12.0 | And in doing something ain't right, I love to sit down and really get into these stories because the stories |
| 2:19.4 | are thicker, bigger, larger ideas. And since we've been doing this podcast, I am developing a |
| 2:27.6 | mono story, one big story, one big global story that is beginning to really show its, uncover its face and |
