Frangela: The Final Word

Epstein, Deepfakes, and Other Things We Didn’t Order


Listen Later

Family… this week the news came at us like it was double‑parked and trying not to get towed.

We start with the partial Epstein files — because no, they did not release everything, but they released just enough to send the internet into a full‑blown conspiracy aerobics class. Suddenly folks are stitching together Hitler, Bill Gates, and “pandemic simulations” like they’re auditioning for a True Crime multiverse. And we’re over here reminding everybody: speculation is not a substitute for evidence, and the truth does not need a hype team.

Then we take a breath — a grateful one — because the Supreme Court actually avoided another round of hypocrisy and ruled that California voters get what they voted for in the redistricting fight. A rare moment where democracy didn’t need CPR.

Meanwhile, Trump signed the $1.2 trillion spending package to end the three‑day shutdown he started. That’s like knocking over your own drink and then demanding applause for grabbing a napkin.

A federal judge also had to step in and say, “No, you cannot end Temporary Protected Status for 350,000 Haitians,” because apparently compassion is still something the courts have to manually reboot every few months.

And then we get to the Tulsi Gabbard saga. She says Trump asked her to show up while the FBI searched Fulton County’s election office. Trump says he did not ask her to go. Somebody is lying, somebody is confused, and Congress still hasn’t received the whistleblower complaint filed against her last May. Did it fall behind a couch? Is it being used as a coaster? We have follow‑up questions.

Over in Wisconsin, Madison’s clerk is arguing that absentee voting is a privilege and not a right. Baby, voting is not a spa membership. It is the bare minimum of democracy.

Meanwhile, 62% of Americans now say ICE has gone too far — up from 58% a few weeks ago. Growth. Awareness. A glimmer of collective sense.

And finally, French police raided X’s offices over Grok’s deepfake porn — including images that appear to depict children — and we’re just gonna say it: if your platform is producing crimes faster than content, unplug it, sage it, and maybe throw the whole server into the ocean.

So buckle up. We’ve got the jokes, the clarity, the compassion, and the righteous side‑eye. Because when the world is doing the absolute most, you know we’re gonna give you… The Final Word.
