This week on The Final Word, we tackle a buffet of chaos that’s equal parts baffling and infuriating. First, we pretend to be surprised as Trump once again reverses course, this time on firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell and those oh-so-effective Chinese tariffs. Consistency is for losers, apparently.Speaking of meltdowns, Elon Musk and the Treasury Secretary reportedly got into a shouting match in the West Wing and had to be separated by an aide. Because nothing says “stable governance” like billionaire temper tantrums in the halls of power. In a rare silver lining, Musk has announced he’ll “reduce” his time at the Department of Government Efficiency—coincidentally right after Tesla posted a 71% drop in quarterly profits. Efficiency indeed.Next, we try to untangle the mental gymnastics of economic polling. Fifty-five percent of Americans say they’re not confident in Trump’s economic decision-making, but that means 45% are confident? Meanwhile, 87% are worried about inflation, and 76% fear a recession. Math? Logic? Anyone?And as if that wasn’t dystopian enough, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now creating a national autism registry by pulling private medical records. Nothing to worry about there, right? Oh, and the Trump administration is proving once again that cruelty is the point by planning to eliminate the 988 suicide hotline’s specialized support for LGBTQ youth.All this and more on The Final Word, where we make sense of the senseless—or at least laugh while we try.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we cast a skeptical gaze at some of the world’s most baffling headlines, starting with the women reportedly being paid to expand Elon Musk’s ever-growing legion of offspring. Is this philanthropy, a futuristic dystopia, or just Musk being Musk? The side-eye is strong with this one.Next, we dissect the grand return of ’90s magic bad boy David Blaine in David Blaine: Do Not Attempt. A show with a warning in the title? Seems promising—or terrifying. Either way, we’re watching through our fingers crossed.And finally, six wealthy and famous women—including Katy Perry, Gayle King, and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée—took a glamorous eleven-minute joyride into suborbital space and somehow returned as worse people. Was this space travel or an elite-level humility vacuum? NASA, we have questions.If it doesn’t seem right, it probably isn’t.

Don’t forget about the passenger who thought a can of tuna was the perfect mid-flight snack.

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive into the latest batch of baffling headlines, starting with Elon Musk’s new passion project: pronatalism. Because when you’re a billionaire, why not dabble in regressive ideologies between rocket launches? Next, we tackle the Amish e-bike debate—are they the eco-friendly savior we’ve been waiting for, or just chaos on two wheels? Spoiler alert: it’s complicated.Feeling like a laugh? The Trump administration thinks it can charm its way into taking over Greenland. Yes, Greenland. Because nothing says “diplomatic finesse” like a poorly executed charm offensive.And finally, in a story that’s equal parts horrifying and infuriating, a judge has ruled that Alabama is not immune from a lawsuit alleging the harvesting of prison inmates’ organs. When the world serves up a platter of “what the heck,” Frances and Angela are here to dish it out with biting commentary and a side of humor.Tune in for your weekly dose of Something Ain’t Right.

This week on Idiot of the Week, we bring you a lineup of contenders so jaw-droppingly ridiculous, you’ll question how humanity has made it this far.First, we investigate how a Texas middle school managed to turn a classroom into a tattoo parlor—and not the cool kind. With one shared needle among students, it’s a truly horrifying tale of poor decisions and even worse health education.Next, a Texas man who swallowed diamond earrings he stole earns his spot on the list with a question for the ages: “Am I going to be charged with what is in my stomach?” Spoiler alert: Yes, sir, and probably with a bonus charge for spectacular stupidity.Then we meet the latest criminal duo vying for infamy: Mr. Clean and Ms. Dookie. We’re not saying they should quit their day jobs, but…actually, yes, they definitely should have quit while they were ahead. Or maybe just not started at all.And finally, the world of criminal recruitment hits a new low, with wannabe masterminds placing ads on—where else?—Instagram. Because nothing screams “qualified accomplice” like a double-tap on your latest selfie.Who will emerge victorious in this week’s battle of idiocy? Tune in to find out, and prepare to laugh, cringe, and wonder how we got here. Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela unravel the tangled mess that is Trump’s tariff “strategy”—a term we use loosely, because “strategy” implies some semblance of planning. China, channeling Maya Angelou’s wisdom, has decided to believe Trump the first time and raised tariffs on all U.S. imports to a staggering 84%. It’s less “trade war” and more “trade apocalypse.”Meanwhile, House Republicans continue their “kiss the ring” tour, blocking a Democratic attempt to force a vote on repealing Trump’s tariffs. Because apparently, loyalty to chaos is the new party platform.But wait, there’s more! The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court for permission to fire two independent regulators without cause—because who needs checks and balances when you can have unchecked power? And, in a move that’s equal parts petty and alarming, they’ve also asked the Justice Department to open investigations into perceived enemies Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs. Democracy, we hardly knew you.And somehow, despite all of this, Trump still boasts a 41% approval rating. Yes, really. We’re as baffled as you are.Tune in for your weekly dose of biting commentary, righteous indignation, and the occasional existential crisis.

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive into the kind of stories that make you question whether reality is just a poorly written sitcom. First up, we tackle the bizarre saga of “demonic” sea lions. Are they misunderstood marine mammals or victims of a PR campaign gone horribly wrong? Either way, someone call their lawyer—there’s a class action defamation suit waiting to happen.Next, in a ruling that’s equal parts baffling and hilarious, the British High Court has declared that calling someone bald is sexual harassment. Because apparently, follicular commentary is now a legal minefield. Bald folks, rejoice—or maybe just wear a hat.Then, Elon Musk decides to open a diner in Los Angeles, proving once again that he’s the king of “read the room” fails. Nothing screams “I’m wildly out of touch” like launching a notoriously difficult business in the heart of one of the bluest cities in America. Will the menu feature overpriced rocket-shaped pancakes? Stay tuned.And finally, in a move that’s peak Trump, one of his latest executive orders demands states use voting machines that don’t actually exist. Because when you’re running low on chaos, just invent some.When the world serves up a platter of absurdity, Frances and Angela are here to dish it out with a side of biting commentary.

This week on Idiot of the Week, the competition for the coveted crown of sheer, unparalleled foolishness is fiercer than ever—and believe me, the bar is subterranean.First up, we have a Memphis man who’s redefined “man’s best friend” by claiming he wasshot by his dog. Yes, as if Fido didn’t already have enough on his plate, he’s now allegedly packing heat.Next in line, McLaurine Pinover, a Hufflepuff insider and so-called fashion influencer, who thought it was a smashing idea to use her government office as a backdrop for Instagram videos. Accio ethics violation, am I right?But wait, there’s more! A group of scientists who apparently thought Jurassic Park was an instructional video have created the “Woolly Mouse”—because nothing screams “brilliant idea” like dipping our toes into prehistoric chaos via tiny rodents.And finally, a heartwarming tale of poetic justice in the “FAFO” (F*** Around and Find Out) category: a family of bigots learns the hard way that the price tag for hatred isn’t just moral bankruptcy—it’s financial bankruptcy too.So, who will rise—or rather, sink—to claim the title of Idiot of the Week?

This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela wade through the swamp of absurdity, hypocrisy, and occasional existential dread that is modern politics. First, they tackle the Trump administration’s claim that deporting Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national with protected status since 2019, was merely an “administrative error.” Because nothing says “oopsie” like putting them in a supermax prison in El Salvador.Then, we confront the reality that Trump is “not joking” about seeking an unconstitutional third term. Spoiler alert: democracy is not amused. Meanwhile, we send a heartfelt BBQ invite to our Greenlandic friends who had the good sense to refuse a meeting with the Vice President and his wife. And seriously, who are the 25% of Americans who think Trump’s policies are improving their finances? Blink twice if you need help.In other alarming news, RFK Jr. has hired a discredited vaccine skeptic to “study” the thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory linking vaccines to autism. And in a dazzling display of irony, a career Department of Homeland Security employee is placed on leave after accidentally including a reporter in an internal memo about an upcoming ICE operation. Pro tip: you can only do this if it's classified attack information and you're the Secretary of Defense.Finally, Tesla finds itself with some unexpected defenders. We’ll give you three guesses, but the first two reich don’t count. Yes, it’s as horrifying as it sounds.All this and more on The Final Word, where biting commentary meets the absurdity of the week.

In this week’s episode of Something Ain’t Right, we delve into the bizarre, the absurd, and the downright infuriating—because apparently, the world is not content with just being mildly confusing.We know there's confusion surrounding where one can bring a wild raccoon, but we ask, is there ANY place it's okay for parents to unleash their feral spawn on an unsuspecting public. And finally, Disney earns the serious side-eye for their latest cinematic masterpiece—a Snow White remake so terrifying it could scar a generation. Then, buckle up for a tale that redefines the word “bonkers”: a jury decides that Greenpeace owes a pipeline developer over $660 million for damages linked to their protests. Yes, you heard that right—a sum so astronomically outlandish it sounds like it was plucked from an oil executive’s fever dream.Carolina, a giant rat who has apparently cracked the code to living her best life, gets a retirement party that would put most weddings to shame. Champagne towers? Probably. Cheese platters? Almost certainly. Emotional speeches from fellow rodents? Who’s to say?When something makes you do a double-take and mutter, “Well, that’s not right,” you know it belongs on Something Ain’t Right.

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?

This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela dive headfirst into the swirling vortex of absurdity, incompetence, and occasional glimmers of hope that define modern politics. First up, they tackle the jaw-dropping revelation that Trump’s national security officials, the Vice President, and others were casually discussing top-secret intelligence in an unsecured Signal group chat. Because apparently, safeguarding national security is just so last season. Meanwhile, calls for the firing or resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and national security advisor Mike Waltz are echoing through Washington. Will accountability finally make a cameo appearance? Don’t hold your breath.But it’s not all doom and gloom! The Supreme Court upheld federal regulations on ghost guns, and while we won’t spoil the surprise, let’s just say the dissenting justices were about as predictable as a Hallmark movie plot. And in a rare moment of political optimism, Democrats flipped a Pennsylvania seat in a special election—yes, in a district Trump won by 15 points. Could this be a sign that Democrats are eyeing wins in previously untouchable territories? Fingers crossed.And finally, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to detain and deport a 21-year-old Columbia student and green card holder during a protest. Oh, and just to round things out, we learn that Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old member of Elon Musk’s DOGE team (who goes by “Big Balls,” because of course he does), once provided network support to a cybercrime group known for harassment and data theft.

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frances and Angela serve up a buffet of chaos, absurdity, and the kind of side-eye that could power a wind turbine. First, they dissect the new docu-drama series Good American Family, which critics say might be less “good” and more “American dumpster fire.” The shocking case of Natalia Grace takes center stage, and let’s just say, this series might be adding fuel to an already raging inferno of controversy.Next, a Kennedy Center contract employee decides that the best way to protest is to take the phrase “bare your soul” a little too literally. Spoiler alert: it involves total exposure, and no, we’re not talking about transparency in government.Speaking of government, the Trump administration is back at it again, offering corporate sponsorship opportunities for the White House Easter Egg Roll. Because nothing says “wholesome family fun” like slapping a logo on a pastel egg. Who’s ready for the ExxonMobil Bunny Hop?And finally, in a twist that’s both horrifying and depressingly predictable, Nazis & swastikas manage to make appearances at both L.A. City Council meetings and Omaha Fashion Week. Because apparently, fascism is the new black.When the world serves up a platter of “what the actual heck,” Frances and Angela are here to dish it out with a side of biting commentary.

They explore the implications of this move and what it means for the future of education in America. The discussion doesn't stop there—Frances and Angela also tackle the ongoing Trump/Musk assault on the Trans community, higher education, and immigrants. It's a powerful conversation that sheds light on the struggles these groups are facing in today's political climate.They also delve into Trump's attempts to seize control of the Federal Trade Commission and his plans to gut Social Security. Frances and Angela provide thoughtful insights into why these actions are taking place and what the potential consequences could be for the American people. Plus, they examine the chilling actions of a major corporation that seem meant to stifle the progressive politics of one of its holdings. All this and more on this week's, The Final Word.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frances and Angela dive headfirst into the swirling vortex of absurdity that is modern life. First up, they’re throwing some serious side-eye at nine Senate Democrats—because apparently, being disappointing is bipartisan now. Then, they tackle the eternal question: if Elon Musk tweets like a white nationalist and salutes like a Nazi, why are we still tiptoeing around calling him one? Spoiler alert: they’re not.But wait, there’s more! Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are embroiled in a drama so baffling, it might just make you question the very fabric of celebrity culture. And just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, the Department of Education is apparently moonlighting as a demolition crew, launching investigations into 52 universities in 41 states as part of Trump’s anti-DEI crusade.It’s a smorgasbord of “what the actual hell,” and Frances and Angela are here to break it all down with their signature wit and righteous fury.

Welcome to The Final Word, where Frances and Angela dive headfirst into the swirling vortex of political absurdity. This week, they dissect the Republican spending bill—a legislative Hail Mary to dodge a government shutdown—and the antics of the so-called 'Department of Government Efficiency' (spoiler: it’s neither efficient nor a department). Then, they unravel the chaos of Trump’s tariffs, which are about as well-thought-out as a toddler’s finger painting, and the demolition derby that is the Department of Education. Oh, and let’s not forget the latest Orwellian twist: what exactly constitutes an 'illegal protest' in Trump’s America? Finally, they explore the enigma of South Florida’s Venezuelan community and its baffling support for the man who seems to have a vendetta against logic itself. All this and more, as we resist together—because someone has to."Head to http://lumen.me/Resist for 20% off your purchase. This South Florida suburb swung to Trump.

On this week’s Something Ain’t Right, we’re diving into the chaos that’s got us all saying, “Wait, what?!” First up, we’re unpacking the FAFO phenomenon—because when people find out, they really do find out. But the real kicker? Why are people still standing behind Trump, even after he’s firing them left and right? Like, literally firing them... is it us? We’re here to break it all down. Then, the Department of Homeland Security has pulled a major move by ignoring TSA agents' contracts, and, let’s just say, tensions are high. Oh, and did we mention South Carolina decided to take it back to the 1800s with a firing squad execution? Yep, that happened. But just when you thought the world couldn’t get any weirder, Casey Anthony launches a Substack and starts calling herself a "legal advocate" on TikTok.

Hold on to your wigs, darling, because this week on Idiot of the Week, we're serving up a smorgasbord of stupidity that's beyond belief. First up, we’ve got a family in Australia who found themselves playing house to 102 venomous snakes. But the real question is—who’s the bigger threat? The slithering reptiles or the humans who thought it was okay to live with them?Then, let’s glide into the absurd with a 79-year-old ice skater who took a solo spin on a lake that wasn’t frozen—honey, the only thing chilling here is your bad decision-making! And who could forget the Minnesota delivery driver who got caught red-handed in the car theft game—except she wrote in her diary, “Totally stole a car today!” Sweetie, who’s the genius here?Oh, and last but definitely not least, we’ve got the "brilliant" scientist who thought he could outsmart the law. After calling the cops to report a burglary at his illegal meth lab, he learned the hard way that crime and science don’t mix.So, darling, is it the snakes, the skater, the thief, or the meth lab magician?

Well, darling, grab your fan because the answer is anything but clear. But we’ll tell you what you can do to make your voice heard loud and proud. Work it!And we’ve gotta talk about the effrontery of that 100-minute circus known as Trump’s address to Congress. With lies, tantrums, and more lies, it was truly a masterclass in chaos. Let’s just say, Representative Al Green got escorted out for telling the truth, while other Democrats took a dramatic exit. We will not let them protocol us into fascism!But wait, there’s more! In the world of Dogecoin madness, we’ve got staffers raking in six-figure salaries while Musk and his squad roll around in Air Force One. I can’t even... Meanwhile, Trump keeps pulling those classic yo-yo stunts—this time granting automakers a deal on tariffs. And to put the cherry on top of this dumpster fire, Trump is planning to slice up the IRS workforce by 50%. I mean, can we get a break here?Oh, and don’t you worry, we’ve got a sweet little surprise from a listener, the incredible Lisa J. Honey, we’re talking FRANGELA! It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

This week on Something Ain't Right, honey, we refuse to let President Musk tell us it's raining when he's just parking his Tesla over our heads and pretending it’s a monsoon. No ma’am, we’re not buying it! Meanwhile, Patrick Schwarzenegger wants you to know he’s not just a pretty face—he actually took acting classes, and his famous parents have absolutely nothing to do with his success. Right, Patrick. Keep telling yourself that. But wait—what’s the deal with these designer babies? We’re talking about the little ones born with the best genetic code money can buy... and now they’re out here not fulfilling their parents’ grand genetic dreams. Uh, excuse me? What happened to being perfect?!And don’t even get us started on the huge loss we suffered this week. We lost the legend, Gene Hackman, and his family—his wife, his dog, and the man himself—just gone. We’re in mourning and honestly, something ain’t right there.Tune in for the tea, the shade, and the drama that’ll have you saying, “Okay, but like... what’s really going on here?”*When you hear “Haley Joel Osment” in this episode please mentally replace it with “Aly Michalka” in your head.

In this episode of The Final Word, we delve into the alarming ramifications of the proposed SAVE Act, which, if passed, could become one of the most severe voter suppression laws in the nation. We explore how its implementation could stifle the fundamental right to vote for millions of Americans.Next, we tackle the bizarre AI-generated video that former President Trump shared on Truth Social, depicting a postwar Gaza starring none other than Trump himself and President Musk. Spoiler alert: Palestinians are nowhere to be found in this vision of the future.We also dig into the alleged growing unease, according to the mainstream media, among some Republican lawmakers over President Musk's aggressive dismantling of federal infrastructure. Is it us or is this alleged "balking" not as effective as say, voting against these outrageous and damaging policies and attacks?Additionally, we scrutinize the dubious claims surrounding DOGE supposed cost-saving potential and reflect on the Trump administration's decisions to block access to news outlets like AP and HuffPo. And finally, we dissect Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's provocative statement: "Anyone who thinks protests, lawsuits, and lawfare will deter President Trump must have been sleeping under a rock." What is "lawfare"? Did she mean, laws?????All this and more on The Final Word. Tune in for an unfiltered look at the forces shaping our political landscape.

This week on Something Ain't Right, we’re diving into some seriously thought-provoking topics. First up, we’ll be debating whether a woman who’s asking for a bigger inheritance because she’s been her grandmother's caretaker is “monstrous” or just looking out for herself. Is it fair to ask for more, or does it cross a line?Next, we explore an unconventional way to get out of a rut—forget vision boards and daily affirmations, maybe what you really need is a nemesis. How could a little competition light a fire under you and push you toward your goals?And in the latest media shake-up, MSNBC has made some suspect moves by firing brown and black hosts, including Joy Reid and others. Rachel Maddow even called it “unnerving.” Why does this feel so wrong? What’s behind the changes?Finally, we’ll honor the memory of 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo, who tragically took her life after being bullied over her family’s immigration status. This heartbreaking loss sheds light on the devastating effects of the MAGA attacks on immigrant communities.As always, when something seems off, send it to us at [email protected], and we’ll get to the bottom of it together.

This week on Something Ain't Right, we’re tackling the growing urge to take a “social media break.” What is it about these platforms that’s driving so many of us to step back—and is it really just about scrolling or something deeper? Then, we dive into the shocking news that Sanrio, the creator of Hello Kitty, is now trying to convince us that our beloved kitty is actually a little British girl—not a Japanese cat! How did we get here? And, because Frances can’t let anything slide, we’ve got her take on Megyn Kelly’s latest criticism of the Little House on the Prairie reboot. Trust us, you won’t believe where this one’s headed.Finally, we’re getting personal. Is it wrong to ask your guests to take off their shoes when they come over?

In this special episode of The Final Word, we take a step back to focus on what matters most: us. We dive into how we can take care of ourselves, our communities, and our collective resistance in the face of the ongoing chaos and cruelty of the MAGA agenda. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the constant noise, but we explore how self-care is not just important—it’s essential for sustaining our movement.We talk about the power of community and how being allies to all marginalized groups strengthens us all. Whether it’s offering a kind word, showing up for protests, or simply listening and learning, we walk you through actionable steps to support each other and build a lasting coalition of resistance. Together, we can rise above the madness.From unplugging from the constant media cycle to pursuing hobbies and embracing small acts of radical resistance, we share what we do to maintain our own peace and energy. As human rights lawyer Julian Aguon reminds us, "No offering is too small. No stone unneeded… All of us, without exception, are qualified to participate in the rescue of the world."This episode is a call to action—and to rest. We remind you that rage can be a form of prayer, and hope isn’t passive—it’s something we actively nurture every day. Join us for this heart-centered discussion on staying righteous, staying engaged, and most importantly, staying human in the fight for justice.Take care of yourselves, find your joy, and remember: Together, we will not let them win.Listen now for a powerful reminder of why resistance is not just a fight, but a way of living.Fighting for justice doesn’t have to be a big dramatic act.

In this episode of Something Ain’t Right, we dive deep into some of the wildest stories that just don’t sit right — from the murky world of Obama gossip to Jewel's near-perfect cultural crime, and why, frankly, we don’t need artificial intelligence to mess things up for us. Turns out, humans are more than capable of getting things hilariously and frustratingly wrong on their own! We unpack how conservative media hypocritically spins rumors around the former president, take a look at the garbage Jewel tries to pass off, and the ways we continue to get things wrong, even without a machine’s help.

This week on The Final Word, we dive deep into the ever-growing chaos surrounding the Trump administration. We discuss how the dizzying back-and-forth over federal funding may just be a strategic move to leave us feeling unhinged — is that the goal? Trump says one thing, his press secretary says another, and yet, nothing adds up. We break down the lies and confusion that seem to be coming out of every corner of the White House.But it doesn’t stop there. We talk about the firing spree happening in the Trump administration, ICE's weekly raids on major cities, and how the Oklahoma Board of Education is targeting immigrant children—seemingly without any regard for the rule of law. And in a bold move, Caroline Kennedy once again publicly denounces her cousin RFK Jr., calling him unfit to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services and slamming his dangerous behavior.We also cover the tragic story of Mathew Huttle, a man pardoned by Trump for his role in the January 6th insurrection, who was fatally shot after resisting arrest. And, if that wasn’t enough, we discuss the bizarre and troubling move to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Oh, and did we mention that the Trump administration is offering federal workers a financial incentive to just quit by February 6th?Plus, we wrap up with your resistance round-up and dive into your latest emails. The madness continues, and we’re here to break it all down.

In this explosive episode of The Final Word, we delve deep into the promises and dark realities behind Trump's inauguration speech, unpacking the rush to carry out his racist, fascist agenda. From tech billionaires kissing the ring to CEOs bending the knee, and even the ADL defending Elon Musk’s Nazis-like salute—America is full of biscuits (a metaphor we break down).We explore the wave of executive orders Trump pushed through to entrench his power, terrify marginalized communities, and dismantle the federal government. But it's not all politics; we’re also plotting out our new home—I-Told-You-So Mountain—as we listen to the Fraternal Order of Police, who once endorsed Trump, express their “disappointment” over his pardons and commutations of January 6 convicts.Get ready for a critical breakdown of how we got here—and where we might be headed. Tune in for another unapologetically sharp, no-holds-barred episode of The Final Word.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

(Spoiler: he was wrong, but his delusions were definitely larger than life.) Then, in the science lab gone wrong corner, we have a team of so-called researchers who decided cyborg cockroaches were the future. Because, why not? But wait, there’s more! A duo of would-be adventurers who met their tragic end searching for Sasquatch (spoiler: they didn’t find him, but they sure found trouble). And to top it off, we’re closing out with a tale of two demons who… let's just say they turned some monkeys into businessmen in the worst way possible.So, who’s earning the coveted title of Idiot of the Week?

This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela are diving deep into the deadly fires ravaging Los Angeles, examining the environmental factors fueling the flames and the far-reaching economic impact of these disasters. From climate change to the toll on local businesses, we break down what’s really at stake.Then, shifting gears to the political front, we talk about Donald Trump’s latest legal moves—asking the Supreme Court to block his sentencing on 34 felony convictions. What's behind this maneuver, and how does it fit into his larger strategy? Plus, Attorney General Merrick Garland’s decision to release only part of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election raises some serious questions.We also dive into a bombshell watchdog report accusing Trump-era Justice Department officials of leaking details about COVID-19 nursing home death investigations in Democratic states, calling it their "last play" before the 2020 election.And in some good news, President Biden and Vice President Harris are making strides for all Americans with a new rule aimed at clearing medical debt from credit reports—finally, some relief for millions.All that and more, so tune in for the real talk, the facts, and The Final Word on this week’s headlines.

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.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & 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.

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.
