Frangela: The Final Word

Family… this week the news came at us like it was double‑parked and trying not to get towed.We start with the partial Epstein files — because no, they did not release everything, but they released just enough to send the internet into a full‑blown conspiracy aerobics class. Suddenly folks are stitching together Hitler, Bill Gates, and “pandemic simulations” like they’re auditioning for a True Crime multiverse. And we’re over here reminding everybody: speculation is not a substitute for evidence, and the truth does not need a hype team.Then we take a breath — a grateful one — because the Supreme Court actually avoided another round of hypocrisy and ruled that California voters get what they voted for in the redistricting fight. A rare moment where democracy didn’t need CPR.Meanwhile, Trump signed the $1.2 trillion spending package to end the three‑day shutdown he started. That’s like knocking over your own drink and then demanding applause for grabbing a napkin.A federal judge also had to step in and say, “No, you cannot end Temporary Protected Status for 350,000 Haitians,” because apparently compassion is still something the courts have to manually reboot every few months.And then we get to the Tulsi Gabbard saga. She says Trump asked her to show up while the FBI searched Fulton County’s election office. Trump says he did not ask her to go. Somebody is lying, somebody is confused, and Congress still hasn’t received the whistleblower complaint filed against her last May. Did it fall behind a couch? Is it being used as a coaster? We have follow‑up questions.Over in Wisconsin, Madison’s clerk is arguing that absentee voting is a privilege and not a right. Baby, voting is not a spa membership. It is the bare minimum of democracy.Meanwhile, 62% of Americans now say ICE has gone too far — up from 58% a few weeks ago. Growth. Awareness. A glimmer of collective sense.And finally, French police raided X’s offices over Grok’s deepfake porn — including images that appear to depict children — and we’re just gonna say it: if your platform is producing crimes faster than content, unplug it, sage it, and maybe throw the whole server into the ocean.So buckle up. We’ve got the jokes, the clarity, the compassion, and the righteous side‑eye. Because when the world is doing the absolute most, you know we’re gonna give you… The Final Word.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Economics of Wrongness: A Guided Tour Through the Upside‑DownBaby, gather your coins, your courage, and your emotional support beverage, because this week we are spelunking into the deep, musty caverns of America’s economic wrongness—and trust us, the air quality down there is not OSHA‑compliant.We kick things off with Trump suing the IRS in a way that somehow puts him on both sides of the same case. Yes, you heard that right. He’s the plaintiff and the defendant. We don’t know if this is a legal strategy or a cry for help, but either way, it’s giving “I lost the plot three seasons ago.”Then we revisit that sweet little promise from the start of his first term—you remember, the one where he vowed he and his family would never do anything that could even be perceived as exploitative of the presidency. Cut to today, where the profiteering meter has hit $4 billion and is still climbing like it’s trying to reach the top shelf at Costco. We break down how we got here, why it matters, and why our eyebrows are now permanently arched.Next up: the richest players in the upcoming elections. A.I., Crypto, Pro‑Israel groups, and Trump himself are all throwing around money like it’s confetti at a billionaire’s quinceañera. We talk about what that means for democracy, for voters, and for anyone who still believes elections should be decided by people instead of portfolios.And finally—because the universe refuses to give us a break—we wade through the swampy, stomach‑turning mess of last Friday’s Epstein files drop. It’s gross, it’s infuriating, and it’s a reminder that accountability in this country is allergic to sunlight. But we walk through it together, with compassion, clarity, and the appropriate amount of side‑eye.Join us as we laugh to keep from screaming, scream to keep from crying, and try—once again—to make sense of a world that keeps insisting on being nonsensical. Something ain’t right, but we’re here to talk about it with love, wit, and a whole lot of truth.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Oh honey, pull up a chair and grab a hydration beverage, because this week the universe is serving up foolishness by the ladle and we are parched.We start with Pam Bondi telling Tim Walz that handing over Minnesota’s voter rolls could help prevent another “national tragedy.” Baby, the only tragedy here is the confidence with which people say things that make absolutely no earthly sense. We break it down, because somebody has to.Then we take a loving, petty stroll through the extremely short, extremely exclusive list of folks willing to defy Trump in his second reign. And no, we’re not counting ourselves, because our resistance is a lifestyle, not a moment.Meanwhile, Israel is trying to evict Doctors Without Borders from Gaza, and we’re over here clutching our pearls, our wigs, and our moral compasses. We talk about what compassion looks like when the world keeps trying to misplace it.And finally—because we care about public health—we ask the question the nation has been too tired to ask: is it time, or is it way past time, to talk about Donald Trump’s logorrhea? Because at this point, the man is less “giving a speech” and more “opening a fire hydrant of words and hoping for the best.”Join us as we laugh, cry, side‑eye, and try to make sense of a world that keeps insisting on being nonsensical. One thing’s for sure: something ain’t right, but we’re here to talk about it with love, wit, and just enough shade to stay moisturized.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Baby, pull up a chair and hydrate, because this week we are running exclusively—exclusively—on Trump‑grade delusion, and that stuff is not FDA‑approved.We kick things off with Trump jetting off to Davos to once again demand the keys to Greenland like it’s an Airbnb he forgot he didn’t book. And he says he won’t use force… even though he absolutely could… and if he did, it would work… but he won’t… mostly. We don’t know who needs to hear this, but if your sentence has that many escape hatches, you are not reassuring anyone.Then global markets took one look at his threat to slap 10% tariffs on Denmark and seven other European countries—because they won’t co‑sign his Greenland fantasy—and said, “Oh absolutely not,” before swan‑diving straight into the red. Meanwhile China stepped up to the mic like, “Don’t worry world, we’re the grown‑ups here,” and the rest of the planet nodded like, “Honestly… at this point.”Back home, federal prosecutors handed out grand jury subpoenas in Minnesota like they were Costco samples—Gov. Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey, and several other Democratic officials all pulled into the Justice Department’s investigation into the Trump administration’s immigration attack in the Twin Cities. And as if that weren’t enough chaos for one week, the DOJ also says it found evidence that members of DOGE accessed and shared Social Security data with a political group trying to overturn election results. Because apparently the coup never clocks out.And finally—finally—we learn that 58% of Americans think the first year of Trump’s second term is a failure. And we’re just sitting here like… only 58? That’s not a poll, that’s a cry for help.Join us as we break it all down with love, fury, and the kind of laughter you need to keep from screaming into a throw pillow. The country may be wobbling, but we’ve got the final word.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Oh honey, buckle up, because today we are deep‑breathing, side‑eyeing, and clutching every available pearl. We’re diving into a week where the global chaos meter broke clean off the wall, and we’re here trying to glue it back together with humor, outrage, and a prayer.We start with Iran, where reports say thousands of people have been killed, blinded, or injured by the government under Ayatollah Khamenei. The courage of the Iranian people deserves more than thoughts and prayers — it deserves attention, action, and every ounce of compassion we can muster.Then we slide over to Europe, where leaders are apparently trying to figure out how to respond after Trump’s Greenland threats. Yes, you heard us: Greenland. Again. And if that weren’t enough, he allegedly sent a text message to Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere that has folks across Europe looking at their phones like, “Is this real life or did someone spike the fjords.” The people of Greenland and our NATO allies deserve stability, not whatever… that was.And because the chaos buffet is all‑you‑can‑eat, the Pentagon has put 1,500 soldiers on alert for possible deployment in Minnesota as ICE continues terrorizing communities in Minneapolis and across the country. We’re talking families afraid to leave their homes, neighborhoods on edge, and a government response that feels like pouring gasoline on a grease fire.So join us as we laugh to keep from screaming, scream to keep from crying, and remind each other that caring is not optional. We’re bringing the energy, the truth, the jokes, and the love — because something ain’t right, and we’re gonna talk about it.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week felt like the universe put all its headlines in a blender and hit purée. So naturally, we’re here with our mugs of lukewarm coffee, trying to make sense of it all before the next crisis drops.We kick things off with the FBI searching a Washington Post reporter’s Virginia home—because apparently the First Amendment needed a little extra chaos this week. Nothing says “good morning” like federal agents on your porch.Then we hop over to the U.S.–Denmark–Greenland triangle of awkwardness, where Denmark is still politely-but-firmly telling Washington, “You cannot have Greenland, please stop asking.” We love a diplomatic boundary.Back home, 70% of voters say the U.S. should not take military action against Iran even if protesters are killed. Which means, for once, Americans agree on something, and it’s “let’s not start another war.” Growth.Meanwhile, 51% of Americans think ICE is making cities less safe, which is… not the Yelp review ICE was hoping for. And a federal judge upheld California’s congressional map, gently patting Republicans on the head and saying, “No, this is not illegal racial gerrymandering, that's your hobby, please go sit down.”Climate news? Oh, it’s toasty. 2025 was the third-warmest year on record, and the last 11 years have been the warmest 11 years. At this point, the planet is basically sending us increasingly desperate subtweets.And finally, House Democrats moved to impeach Noem over what they’re calling the deadly ICE “Reign of Terror,” which is a phrase so dramatic and on point that it sounds like it should be shouted by a medieval town crier.So buckle up. We’re laughing so we don’t cry, we’re caffeinated against our will, and we’re taking you through another week where the news refused to behave.Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.

This week we are coming in hot from Minneapolis and Venezuela, because when the world is on fire, apparently we need to be in two places at once. We’re talking about how the Trump administration keeps villainizing America’s neighbors — and somehow its own citizens — like that’s a normal Tuesday. Spoiler: it is not. Something ain’t right when cruelty becomes a policy platform and folks act like it’s just “politics.”We dig into why defeating Trump isn’t just about votes; it’s about a moral awakening and learning to speak a moral language that actually meets this moment. Because the way the media and Democratic leadership keep tiptoeing around the destruction of our democracy? Baby, that dog won’t hunt.Then we get into the judge who ordered Lindey Halligan to explain why she’s still serving as U.S. Attorney — because apparently job descriptions are now optional. And don’t get us started on the E.P.A. deciding lives saved don’t count when setting air‑pollution rules. We wish that were a joke. It is not a joke.Pull up a chair, grab your beverage of choice, and breathe with us. Because we’re gonna break it down, call it out, and remind you — loudly — that you’re not crazy.

Oh, Best Friends, buckle all the way up, because this week on The Final Word, we are coming in HOT — hotter than a White House press briefing where nobody brought the truth.First up: the horrific killing of Renee Good, a 37‑year‑old mother in Minneapolis, shot three times by an ICE agent. And before the facts were even cold, here come Trump and Kristi Noem with stories that… let’s just say… do not match the videos, the witnesses, or reality as we know it. We break down what’s known, what’s being claimed, and why the math ain’t mathing.Note: This podcast was recorded before the ICE-stapo Agent had been identified as Jonathan Ross.Then — because apparently the administration is speed‑running global drama — we’ve got the U.S. announcing it will control Venezuelan oil sales “indefinitely” while demanding Venezuela cut ties with China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba. Oh, and hand over preferential oil partnerships like this is some geopolitical episode of Shark Tank. And if that weren’t enough, U.S. forces boarded a Russian‑flagged tanker in the North Atlantic. Sure. Why not. It’s 2026.Meanwhile, Europe is clutching its pearls because the administration is talking about the U.S. needing to “take over Greenland”. Yes. Greenland. Again. We cannot make this up.And THEN — because chaos is a lifestyle — Trump says he’s “immediately taking steps” to ban large institutional investors from buying single‑family homes… with absolutely zero explanation of how that would work. Not a memo. Not a footnote. Not even a sticky note.But the real breaking news? Angela has been TRIGGERED. Because Spencer Pratt — yes, that Spencer Pratt — has announced he’s running for L.A. Mayor. And Frances is just trying to keep her from flipping a table.It’s a lot. It’s too much. It’s exactly the kind of week that requires snacks, hydration, and two best friends yelling the truth into microphones.Come laugh, cry, scream, and get the Final Word.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is back and fully hydrated because the nonsense levels are OFF THE CHARTS. First up, the international chaos report: some people are talking about a U.S. move into Venezuela that includes abducting one leader and warning the next with a threat described as a fate worse than Maduro’s. Because apparently subtlety is canceled.Then—plot twist—we have a brand‑new villain: data centers. Yes, the giant humming boxes of doom multiplying across America like they’re in a Marvel origin story nobody asked for. Tech companies are reportedly preparing to drop seven trillion dollars on these things in the next five years, and Frangela wants to know the real question: who’s paying the bill? (Spoiler: it’s giving “not them.”)Meanwhile, measles—MEASLES—has made a comeback like it’s trying to headline Coachella. The U.S. outbreak has reportedly passed 1,800 cases with hot spots in Utah, Arizona, and South Carolina. Frangela has thoughts. Many thoughts.And finally, we close with a presidential medical mystery tour. Some people have noticed shifting explanations, shifting stories, shifting… everything. Which leads to the only question that matters: WHERE’S THE BOOK, JAKE TAPPER.Strap in. Hydrate. Stretch. Because this week, the foolishness is cardio.Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.

Buckle up, Beautiful People, because this week on The Final Word we are diving straight into the congressional testimony that absolutely no one expected to read like the opening chapter of a steamy beach‑read. Yes, Jack Smith showed up, showed out, and somehow delivered enough dramatic tension to qualify as the newest entry in the “prosecutorial romance” genre. We have thoughts. Many.From there, we pivot—gracefully, like the ballerinas we are—into the rhetorical gymnastics surrounding Minnesota’s Somali child‑care fraud controversy. Spoiler: the discourse is doing the absolute most, and we’re here to untangle the mess with our signature blend of receipts and righteous laughter.Then we turn to the announcement that National Guard troops will be withdrawn from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland—because apparently this was always the plan, and definitely not influenced by any Supreme Court decisions. At all. Ever. Meanwhile, a federal judge has ordered continued funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and we’re over here wondering when our long‑promised DOGE‑themed “rebate checks” are supposed to arrive.And in the category of “backbone and ethics still exist,” at least three artists have canceled their Kennedy Center performances after the building’s name change. Choices were made, and some folks are choosing to keep their integrity intact.All that plus your emails, your brilliance, and your weekly dose of Frangela‑style truth‑telling. Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.

It’s our final Something Ain’t Right of 2025, and baby… we checked the scoreboard. Whoever won this year, it sure wasn’t us. We dig into the quiet, fateful shift in who’s buying America’s debt—because apparently even our IOUs are getting nervous. Then we wade through the heavily redacted Epstein files, which somehow manage to be both incomplete and still horrifying, reminding us that we’ve only scratched the surface of the evil behind his trafficking network. We look at how surviving a disaster now depends on what you can afford, because nothing says “land of the free” like tiered catastrophe pricing. And finally, we count down the 55 mind‑blowing facts we learned in 2025—some wild, some weird, all of them proof that this year has been doing the absolute most.Grab your snacks, your side‑eye, and your sanity—Frangela is sending you into the New Year with laughs, truth, and a whole lot of “something ain’t right.”Happy New Year, family!Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.

This week on Idiot of the Week, the race for the title of world’s dumbest is so tight, it’s practically a photo finish—except the contestants are sprinting backward into a wall.First up, we have a drunk tourist who managed to get himself banned from Rome’s iconic Trevi Fountain. Nothing says "holiday adventure" like getting a lifetime ban!Next, a surgeon who thought, “You know what would really spice up my medical career? Performing my own vasectomy and broadcasting it on Facebook.” Then there’s Stacy Lynn Steady, who might just inspire the next great country song with her attempt to flee the police while ignoring the golden rule of evasion: there’s always time for panties. And finally, a 31-year-old who swallowed his rosary beads because he believed Satan’s disciples were tailing him on an American Airlines flight. Let’s just say, this is not the kind of in-flight entertainment anyone signed up for.Who will claim the crown of idiocy this week? Tune in for your weekly dose of jaw-dropping absurdity and relentless mockery—because when the stupid compete, we all win.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on The Final Word, Trump declared that America has gone from the worst country in the world to the best—thanks to him, of course—and then screamed at all of us for not being grateful enough for the paradise he apparently built with his bare hands and a Sharpie. Meanwhile, Susie Wiles spent the year whispering to Vanity Fair and now the receipts are out, and baby, they are messy. Jack Smith told Congress he’s got “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump conspired to overturn the 2020 election, and we are clutching our pearls and popcorn. Four House Republicans broke ranks to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies, and 82% of Americans say they’re happy with their health insurance… but next week might be a whole different story. Plus your emails, your brilliance, and Frangela’s signature side-eye.

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.

This week on The Final Word, the circus is back in town and the tent is on fire. Trump proudly announced the U.S. seized an oil tanker off Venezuela—because nothing says diplomacy like shouting “Mine!” across the ocean. Meanwhile, the White House is literally selling immigration with the new Trump Gold Visa, proving that citizenship is now a QVC item. Nick Fuentes preached “truth,” which is terrifying enough to make us want to hide under the bed. Trump called Europe “weak” and “decaying” while praising authoritarian BFFs Viktor Orbán and Recep Erdoğan—because apparently democracy is passé. He also reversed his pledge to release the full video of the Sept. 2 Caribbean strike on a supposed drug boat, because transparency is only fun until it shows you killing survivors. A federal judge greenlit the release of grand jury transcripts in the Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking case, and Texas teamed up with Turning Point USA to launch “Club America” chapters in every high school—because indoctrination is easier when you give it a mascot.  https://frangela.com/Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Something Ain’t Right, the stupid is scaling new heights—literally. Austrian prosecutors charged a man with manslaughter through negligence after his reckless climbing plans allegedly led to his girlfriend’s death. Meanwhile, parents are facing first‑degree murder charges for forcing their kids onto an “extreme alkaline diet” they picked up from social media—because apparently Facebook is now a medical school. Over in Yosemite, MLK Day and Juneteenth are out as free entry days, but Trump’s birthday is in—because nothing says “national park” like narcissism. And Pantone has chosen its color and attitude for 2026, and it’s… white.… something ain’t right.Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.

This week on The Final Word, the clown car of chaos is back on the road. A watchdog report says Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth risked endangering troops by sharing sensitive war plans on Signal—because apparently WhatsApp wasn’t insecure enough. Then he defended a deadly strike on a drug boat by calling it “the fog of war” while simultaneously tossing Admiral Frank Bradley under the bus. Meanwhile, Trump pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was serving 45 years for moving 400 tons of cocaine—because nothing says “law and order” like freeing your favorite drug lord. Trump also called Somali immigrants “garbage” while attacking Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem wants to expand the travel ban like it’s a Costco membership. And just when you thought it couldn’t get weirder, Michael and Susan Dell pledged $6.25 billion to seed “Trump accounts” for kids—because apparently financial literacy now comes with a MAGA logo.

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is bringing the heat and asking the questions nobody else will. Like—what happens when college students can’t do math anymore? Spoiler: it ain’t cute. And whatever happened to neighborly neighbors? Because one hulking home addition has folks feuding like it’s Hatfields vs. McCoys, and the city officials are just as stumped. Meanwhile, the EPA decided to approve new “forever chemical” pesticides for food—because apparently poisoning us forever is now policy. And if that wasn’t enough, a new study shows 86% of toys sold online by non‑European retailers are dangerous for children. Dangerous. For. Children.
