Frangela: The Final Word

The Final Word is back this week with all the news you didn’t know you needed — but trust, you do. From the Georgia Court of Appeals flipping the script on DA Fani Willis, to corporate America still bending the knee to Trump (spoiler: it’s gross). We’re also looking ahead to the House Ethics Committee's upcoming report on everyone’s favorite questionable Rep, Matt Gaetz. But that’s not all! We dive into Trump’s not-so-subtle threats to Liz Cheney, a mystery government department that sounds like it came straight out of a political fever dream, and the mainstream media getting a little taste of karma. Oh, and don’t forget about the rise of a biscuit? Yeah, we’re talking about that too. Hit subscribe, drop in for the realest talk, and get ready to stay informed, righteous, and prepared for whatever’s next.#TheFinalWord #StayWoke #WeGotYou  Our Sponsors:* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code FRANGELA for a great deal: happymammoth.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: www.rosettastone.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on The Final Word, we're diving deep into the headlines that have captured the nation’s attention. First up, we break down the arrest of Luigi Mangione in the shocking murder of insurance CEO Brian Thompson. What led to this tragic murder, and what do we think about people who don't see it as a tragedy?Then, we shift gears to the political arena, where FBI Director Christopher Wray's resignation has sent ripples through Washington. What does this mean for the future of law enforcement in the U.S.?And, of course, we can't ignore the growing concerns around Donald Trump's authoritarian agenda. As tensions rise, we discuss what this could mean for the future of democracy—and where we go from here.Finally, we touch on the surprising nomination of Kimberly Guilfoyle to become the U.S. Ambassador to Greece. Is this just another political spectacle, or is there more to this story than meets the eye?Through it all, we bring our signature blend of sharp analysis, humor, and honesty to help you make sense of these chaotic times. So grab your headphones, settle in, and join us for a lively conversation you won’t want to miss. The Final Word—where we get through the madness together, one story at a time.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Dear listeners, when you look at moves that Trump makes and schemes he announces and think to yourself "but he can't do that"...Think again. He has no regard for the norms and values of regular folks. Corruption is tenacious so resisting it has to be more unshakable.Plus, the Department of Somethin' Ain't Right weighs in on the assassination in New York.Our Sponsors:* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code FRANGELA for a great deal: happymammoth.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: www.rosettastone.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

But the Republicans aren’t just igniting chaos; they’re throwing lawsuits at it! With over 120 legal challenges launched across 26 states, we’ll discuss what this means for their electoral strategy. Meanwhile, Senator Ron Wyden is stepping up with a bold new bill aimed at reforming the Supreme Court—could this be the spark of hope we’ve all been waiting for?
