    A Ceasefire that Isn’t, Melania’s Epstein Denial, and the Clusterf*ck of CA’s Governor’s Race *BONUS STREAM*

    Pete Hegseth declares V for Victory in Iran, but on what grounds? Seems like Iran has had the upper hand even on AI-produced propaganda. Then, Melania Trump addresses the nation about lies that are being spread about her relationship with Jeffery Epstein. Only problem is, we have no idea what she’s referencing unless she’s getting way ahead of an incoming bombshell. Then, the California governor’s race is an absolute mess as two Republicans gain traction in a 61-way jungle primary HAPPENING ON JUNE 2ND.  Congressman Eric Swalwell is being accused by multiple staffers of sexual misconduct, and Katie Porter can’t seem to get it together. Does that leave us with billionaire Tom Steyer? GASP. Featuring:  Lance, The Serfs TV (2:58) https://www.twitch.tv/theserfstv Eat smart with Factor meals. Thanks Factor!

    Trumpism In Latin America with Eddie Pepitone & Michael Fox (Ep 327)

    Donald Trump: destroyer of civilizations and learner of Spanish? Trump praises Allah and says he's ready to bomb bridges, power plants, and civilians in Iran with reckless abandon. (Of course an hour after this recording he says there will be a two-week ceasefire. Apocalypse delayed!) Francesca discusses the nuclear ‘will they won't they’ with comedian Eddie Pepitone. Plus, Pam Bondi is the second Trump administration official to get the boot, and the second woman. This time however, a blonde! How could he? Then we check in with the Real News Network's Michael Fox about Trump's new promise to learn Spanish and become the next leader of Venezuela (really!), the US strong-arming Mexico, and how the country has used sanctions to strangle Latin America for decades.

    Who's Afraid of Hasan & SCOTUS Goes for Broke with Rhiannon Hamam (Ep 326)

    Is SCOTUS really about to let Trump overturn the constitution and let Stephen Miller decide who should be a citizen? We discuss birthright citizenship case with professional Supreme Court-hater Rhiannon Hamam. Then, we talk about the long on the long-smeared and often misrepresented Palestinian-diaspora. Plus establishment Dems and Zionist media figures spin out about Hasan Piker and draw a line in the sand with them on the other side. And while all AI is terrible, something about Iran AI propaganda hits a bit different as Hegseth deploys more troops to the Middle East.  Featuring: Rhiannon Hamam, podcast host of 5-4 podcast and Popular Cradle podcast (51:10) https://bsky.app/profile/aywarhiannon.bsky.social https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/popular-cradle/id1746569449  *** SUNDAY APRIL 5TH 7PM, Francesca and Matt Lieb will be LIVE in Vancouver, BC co-headlining Chill X Studios.

    Cuban Solidarity Grows and Beating AIPAC w/ Cori Bush & Christy Thornton (Ep 325)

    Spring break? Don't worry about missing your flight, 'cause Trump made sure to send thousands of alcoholics to stand around and play Candy Crush in the nation's busiest airports. Plus, why are right-wingers freaking out about Hasan Piker’s "5 star" Cuban hotel stay? Professor Christy Thornton (14:45), fresh back from a solidarity-humanitarian mission to Cuba breaks down the misinformation and explains just how existential this current crisis is to the country. Get involved with the National Network on Cuba to join a solidarity mission yourself.   Then, former congresswoman (and future congresswoman!) Cori Bush (52:40) joins to talk about her campaign running against AIPAC-backed Wesley Bell. She talks about her agenda if elected back into office, as well as lessons learned for Democrats from 2021 to 2024. *** SUNDAY APRIL 5TH 7PM, Francesca and Matt Lieb will be LIVE in Vancouver, BC co-headlining Chill X Studios.

    Surveillance Apocalypse w/ Jason Koebler & Caroline Kwan (Ep 324)

    Are AI-powered cameras watching your every move? Journalist Jason Koebler from 404 Media joins to explain how a creepy company called “Flock” is partnering with ICE and police to build a nationwide database. Plus, we discuss how AI slop is destroying the internet and our economy. Then creator and streamer Caroline Kwan joins to talk warmongers, apolitical Oscar winners, and the first (perhaps only) Trump resignation: a counterterrorism director who’s had it with the war of choice on Iran.

    MIDRIFFS AND GROYPERS with Francesca and Emma Vigeland

    Emma Vigeland of The Majority Report joined Francesca on The Bitchuation Room to talk about  the nonsense and the news. The right wing freaks are losing their minds over Rama Duwaji, The First Lady of NYC. She had the audacity to like some Instagram posts that said the occupation of Gaza is bad! Even worse, she exposed her midriff in a picture. The horny… I mean, the horror! While distracted by the start of the newest forever war in Iran, the DOJ released files of a credible accusation against Trump by a 14-year-old girl. Why are MAGA mouthpieces so unable to even address these allegations?  Also, what is going on with Gen Z men? Why has an entire generation of dudes turned into young Republicans? Except now they are groypers who are straight up nationalists, like former hedge fund manager James Fishback who is running for governor of Florida. And finally, let’s get some shoes! Specifically, the $145 Florsheim dress shoes that Donald Trump is forcing all the men in his cabinet to wear, no matter if they fit or not. I love this for them. The Bitchuation Room LIVE in Los Angeles with Emma Vigeland is SOLD OUT for Sunday March 22nd at Dynasty Typewriter.

    Candidate Corner: Jane Kim for CA Insurance Commissioner

    Even IF you can afford a home, have a monthly mortgage, you’re oftentimes still being gouged by insurance companies. That’s what candidate Jane Kim wants to change by becoming California’s next insurance commissioner. Jane is a former SF Supervisor, ran for mayor, and was the California Political Director for Bernie 2020, and has served as the CA director of the Working Families Party. She’s ready for this key consumer-advocacy role that has the ability to change how we think of homeownership and “risk”. Not two years since the worst wildfires the state has seen, with thousands losing their homes, insurance companies are still jacking up prices on California homeowners. And current commissioner Ricardo Lara is letting them, or putting people onto the “FAIR” state-run insurance plan that is just as costly full of denial and delays… you know like all insurance companies. Jane thinks we can do better by putting everyone on a state-run plan and cutting out the market incentive altogether.  VOTE JANE KIM FOR INSURANCE COMMISSIONER ON JUNE 2ND AND GET INVOLVED: WWW.JANEKIM.ORG Learn more about your ad choices.
