In this Monday Fallout, I talk about a violent double murder that should have stopped this country in its tracks. Two people were killed in their own home, and no matter who they were or what they believed, this is the kind of moment where basic humanity should take over.

I focus on the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Reiner, not as public names or voices of advocacy, but as a writer and director and his creative partner whose lives ended in brutality.

I talk about who they were, why their work mattered, and why violence like this should never be turned into noise, entertainment, or ammunition.

As the investigation moves forward and facts continue to emerge, I look at how people across the country reacted, from celebrities to politicians to people who knew the Reiners personally.

Some showed compassion. Some showed restraint. In moments like this, what people say matters more than they realize.

Then I get into Donald Trump’s response, and why I believe it crossed a moral line no leader should ever cross. What should have been a moment for empathy instead became something darker.

I explain why Trump’s response matters and what it reveals about leadership and accountability in this country right now.

By the end of this episode, I lay out why this tragedy matters beyond one crime or one reaction.

This is about decency, responsibility, and what happens when cruelty replaces humanity at the exact moment it’s needed most. That’s your Monday Fallout.

This episode takes a closer look at several political and policy decisions that are drawing attention across Washington and beyond.

It begins with the FDA, and a warning so serious from them that it has sparked concern, confusion, and debate inside government and among professionals who follow federal health oversight closely.

The discussion then moves to Congress and the ongoing fight over healthcare, including negotiations and positioning that could have real consequences for coverage and affordability.

The episode also explores a proposal involving Donald Trump and U.S. currency, and what decisions like this reveal about priorities and influence inside government.

Is this economics or ego?

The Friday edition concludes with News From the Edge of Sanity and a bizarre real world crime story that adds a dose of absurdity to an otherwise serious news cycle.

This WTF Wednesday isn’t just a rant. It’s a full autopsy on why basic competence has collapsed in America.

I’m talking about the simplest tasks. Calling a pharmacy. Scheduling a doctor. Upgrading a phone. Everything that should take minutes now takes hours. And for millions of us, it feels like the entire country forgot how to function.

Everywhere you turn there’s another problem waiting for you. You try to check a prescription and the system’s down. You try to reach a human being and the phone tree traps you in circles. You show up for an appointment and they say it was canceled but can’t tell you why.

Even the places that used to run like clockwork are now tripping over their own shoelaces.

And it’s not just one industry. It’s healthcare. It’s banking. It’s retail. It’s technology that keeps failing at the exact moment you need it most.

You stand in lines that don’t move. You get messages that contradict the last message you got. You try to solve one simple problem and end up trapped in a maze where nobody knows anything and nobody can help you.

This episode digs into how incompetence has become the new national default. You see it everywhere. Fast food. Airlines. Doctors offices. Apps that ask you to do the work the company used to do.

We’re now living in a country where helping yourself is the only way to get help.

A culture of incompetence doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It spreads. It’s taught. It’s absorbed. People are overwhelmed and undertrained. Systems are overloaded.

The smallest problem becomes a chain reaction because no one has the tools or the bandwidth to get anything right the first time anymore.

This episode digs into that connection. How millions of people were taught that effort’s optional. How compassion’s weakness. And how that mindset’s helped collapse basic service and basic responsibility across the country.

If you’ve ever wondered why everything feels harder, slower, more chaotic, and more broken than it used to be, this episode’s for you.

It’s raw. It’s honest. It’s every frustration you’ve swallowed this year finally being said out loud.

And it all leads to one question. How do we fix a country where competence left the building and has no plans to return?

This is your Wednesday WTF episode.
