This week on The Final Word, Frangela is bringing the heat, the receipts, and the clarity you need to cut through the chaos. We’re not here to play—we’re here to break it all down with intelligence, insight, and a whole lot of truth.
We begin with the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. The media calls him a “conservative activist,” but we’re digging deeper into the rise of political violence and the dangerous role far-right extremism and white nationalism continue to play in American discourse. This isn’t just a moment—it’s a warning.
Next, we unpack the staggering revision in job numbers: 911,000 fewer jobs than originally reported. That’s not a rounding error—that’s a reality check. What does it mean for working people, and why aren’t we talking about it more?
Then we turn to Michigan, where a judge dismissed charges against 15 Republicans who signed false certificates claiming to be Trump electors in 2020. The implications for accountability and election integrity are chilling.
Meanwhile, the Missouri House approved a new congressional map that conveniently erases one Democratic seat. Gerrymandering isn’t new, but this level of shamelessness deserves its own spotlight.
And in a move that has civil rights advocates sounding alarms, the Justice Department is pushing to build a national voter roll database and share it with Homeland Security. We’re asking: who benefits, and who gets left out?
Finally, Trump brushed off the release of his 2003 birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein as a “dead issue.” But when it comes to proximity to power and predators, we believe the public deserves more than dismissal.
It’s been a craptastic week, but Frangela’s got the final word—smart, sharp, and unapologetically real. Tune in, because understanding the mess is the first step to cleaning it up.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
