Summary
This week on The Final Word, we are fired up, caffeinated, and spiritually prepared to unpack the latest chapter in Trump-world chaos — because apparently reality has decided to cosplay as satire and won’t break character.
We kick things off with Trump announcing, “I don’t care about the midterms,” which is exactly what you want to hear from a man whose job is… checks notes… governing. And he’s not letting the election — or Iran’s state media — rush him into a deal. Because why move quickly when you can move never.
Then we turn our attention to
Ken Paxton, the freshly minted Republican Senate nominee from Texas, who arrives with more accusations, allegations, and charges than a Black Friday arrest log. We take a deep dive into the swirling storm of “he said,” “they said,” and “the court documents definitely said.”
Speaking of money pits, the Trump administration agreed to pay 13 million dollars — in a no-bid contract — to a first-time federal contractor to repair the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. A pool. A body of water. Thirteen. Million. Dollars. We have thoughts.
We also break down the latest polling showing that 25% of Latino Trump voters say they’re not coming back for round two. ONLY 25%???
Then Trump declared that “everything checked out PERFECTLY” after his third annual physical in thirteen months. Thirteen months. Three physicals. We’re not doctors, but we’re pretty sure that’s not how time works.
And because the White House apparently needed a Vegas residency, construction has begun on a temporary UFC octagon on the South Lawn that will seat about 4,000 people. You know — the same White House that supposedly needs a ballroom because there’s “no place to safely host a large number of people.” Sure. Okay. Absolutely.
Finally, we fact-check a cornucopia of Trump statements. Spoiler: it’s less “cornucopia” and more “empty wicker basket with a sticky note that says, ‘facts are for losers.’”
Buckle up, babies — it’s a wild one.

| 0:30.0 | It is the final word. Every week. |
| 0:33.5 | Every week. Okay. So let's get started because the crazy doesn't wait. Trump said, I don't care about the midterms and wouldn't let the upcoming election or Iranian state media reports rush him into a deal. |
| 0:47.6 | This is a quote. Oh, they thought they were going to outweigh me, you know. We'll outweigh him. He's got the midterms, Trump said, suggesting that |
| 0:57.0 | Tehran believed the elections would force U.S. concessions. Trump, however, claimed Iran was negotiating |
| 1:03.8 | on fumes and said talks were going nicely, but warned. Warned. He warned. |
| 1:12.1 | I love the flip-flopping. |
| 1:19.1 | But warned the U.S. would finish the job if he was not satisfied with the terms. |
| 1:25.6 | The White House, meanwhile, dismissed an Iranian state media report about a draft agreement as a complete fabrication. |
| 1:28.9 | And I just have to time out because when I am watching people who actually still believe |
| 1:38.9 | the BS coming out of this administration, I am watching content providers being like, well, |
| 1:47.2 | there are talks. Ain't no talks. You don't do, boo, seriously. Do you believe when you have the |
| 1:56.8 | other side going, this is a complete fabrication. This man is walking out every day, |
| 2:03.9 | stepping up to the podium, manipulating the economy, manipulating stocks, |
| 2:10.1 | manipulating companies and purchasing power so that they can make money. And no one is stopping |
