Summary
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. Frangela is here to laugh, scream, and side‑eye through the madness, because somebody has to call out this circus.
