The 2026 midterm elections delivered a stunning Democratic wave, and Bomani Jones has a theory about what happened: Americans are tired of everything being so expensive.

On this episode of The Right Time with Bomani Jones, Bomani breaks down the surprising results of the 2026 midterms, including Democratic victories in Texas, James Talarico's Senate win, Gina Hinojosa's historic gubernatorial victory, and Susan Collins' defeat in Maine.

But the bigger story isn't simply which party won. It's why the Republican Party's usual political playbook failed to connect with voters increasingly frustrated by the cost of living.

Bomani discusses the impact of inflation, gas prices, tariffs, and affordability on the election, why familiar culture-war arguments didn't work, and how progressive politicians helped make economic concerns central to the Democrats' message.

He also examines the role of Zohran Mamdani's political messaging, the importance of younger voters, the influence of AIPAC, and what Democrats should learn from their unexpected success.

Bomani and Domonique start with the New York Giants’ quarterback situation and the difficult question facing the franchise: if they need another QB, who can they realistically get?

Bomani and Wally reflect on hearing ATLiens for the first time, the massive impact of “Elevators (Me & You),” and OutKast’s dramatic evolution from Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.

The conversation also explores OutKast producing much of the album themselves, Organized Noize’s influence, the memorable contributions from the Dungeon Family, and how songs like “Babylon,” “Mainstream,” “Decatur Psalm” and “E.T. (Extraterrestrial)” helped point toward the creative breakthrough that would become Aquemini.

Bomani Jones is joined by Jason England for the fourth and final episode of a historical retrospective series looking back at Colin Kaepernick, a decade after his initial protest. In this episode, Bo and Jason wrap up the discussion by exploring whether Kaepernick's action sparked a lasting movement or was simply a moment in time. They reflect on the public silence Kaepernick maintained after 2017 and question how it impacted his role as a public figure and a symbol of resistance.

The duo delves into the role of social media in modern activism, detailing how corporate co-optation, hollow platitudes, and performative "slacktivism" diluted the energy of the post-George Floyd and post-Kaepernick era. They trace how sports media shifted back to a narrow focus on the games, effectively squeezing out the general sports columnists and voices trying to enforce moral clarity. Ultimately, Bo and Jason evaluate the fading public interest in Kaepernick, the rise of a reactionary societal backlash, and the complex, ongoing struggle defining athlete activism a decade later . . .
