1029. Andy & DJ CTI: Trump Targets Massie, Henry Nowak Defendant Claims Racial Abuse & Mom in $250M Somali Fraud Scheme Sentenced
Episode of REAL AF with Andy Frisella · May 22, 2026 · 1 h 39 min
Andy Frisella and DJ discuss Thomas Massie's Trump-backed primary defeat, the Henry Nowak stabbing trial in Britain, the Feeding Our Future sentencing, and a Florida teacher's firing.
Summary
In this Cruise the Internet episode, Andy Frisella and DJ opened with praise for Ram's new high-horsepower trucks, with Frisella arguing that the electric-vehicle push had failed because Americans want vehicles that look and feel cool.
The main segment covered Representative Thomas Massie's loss in the Kentucky Republican primary to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein. DJ cited the vote totals, questioned a large late batch of mail-in ballots, and said roughly $15.5 million from groups including a Miriam Adelson-funded PAC, AIPAC's United Democracy Project and the Republican Jewish Coalition had backed Gallrein. Frisella argued Trump targeted Massie for pushing accountability on the Epstein files and COVID, called for banning foreign-interest and out-of-state campaign money, predicted Massie would run for president and lead a populist movement, and delivered an extended criticism of Trump for failing to deliver on promises such as mass deportations and no new wars.
The hosts then discussed Raven-Symoné's tweet about the term African American, and the Southampton Crown Court trial of Vikram Digwa over the fatal stabbing of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, criticizing police for handcuffing the victim and the media for limited coverage; Frisella linked the case to Britain's gun laws. They also covered the 41-year sentence given to Aimee Bock for the Feeding Our Future fraud, with Frisella calling COVID itself the largest fraud and DJ urging prosecution of other participants. The episode closed with a "That Might Be Racist" segment on a Florida art teacher fired for hanging a Black doll, which Frisella argued was not racist and predicted would end in a lawsuit.

Frisella argues the fired teacher could sue because she likely would not have been fired over a white doll.
