A Real Pro-Life Movement To End Fascism w/ Naomi Klein & Yotam Marom (Ep 348)

This is a portion of Francesca’s interview with former Congressperson Jamaal Bowman. To get access to the full interview and the rest of the Hot Button series, become a patron: www.patreon.com/bitchuationroomJamaal Bowman has been busy. For four years he was a Congressman for NY's 16th district, after ousting a long-time incumbent Eliot Engel in 2020, joining a new class of "The Squad". But in 2024 he lost his re-election after AIPAC poured $24 million into his opponent George Latimer's race. But since, he has been helping progressive candidates win their primary elections and get rid of corporate Democrats. He's also written a book: UNpolishED, a memoir of his life and a political memoir for where we need to be headed as a nation.In this interview, Francesca and Jamaal discuss what he misses about Congress and what he does not. (The gym apparently is sub par.) He recounts how the play by play of how centrists in the House and Senate tanked the most transformative parts of the Biden agenda, which included a call from the boss himself: Joe Biden. Is the Squad doing enough to push a progressive agenda, and should Hakeem Jeffries be speaker should Democrats take back the majority?After that disillusionment, Bowman took a trip to Israel/Palestine. Oh boy. There he saw apartheid first hand and understood that the 'two-state solution' was a lie. Francesca and Bowman discuss the morally urgent question of Palestine, how the lobby preys on Black lawmakers and districts, and why Democrats will never do right by their voters if they continue to support Israel. And most importantly, will Bowman run again?Featuring:Jamaal Bowman, Frmr CongresspersonBuy UNpolishED here or wherever books are sold:https://unpolishedbook.com/Thank you for your support of The Bitchuation Room.

This is a portion of Francesca’s interview with actor Lilan Bowden. To get access to the full interview and the rest of the Hot Button series, become a patron: www.patreon.com/bitchuationroomLilan is an actor and improvisational comedian. She got her breakout role as Bex in the Disney show Andi Mack, and is now in the critically acclaimed comedy Shrinking on Apple +.  How did Hollywood's fixation on race and casting made Lilan think more about her own? And what does she think about the rise of the "Wasian" identity. Do we really need to be celebrating this particular mix? And who gets left out?Lilan and Francesca talk about being half Asian, complicated moms, the rise of tech in entertainment, and Hollywood's Palestine problem. Francesca and Lilan both wonder whether if they're secretly the same person, only one chose stand up and the other improv comedy? Two crafts that are sworn rivals! Lilan talks about how many in Hollywood buckled under the pressure of speaking out on Gaza, and why so many are still so afraid to do so. Finally, as tech oligarchs destroy the entertainment industry, what comes next?***Rock the pod on your bod.

Francesca and Emma break down the news of the week! Do they condemn Hasan Piker?! He was on MSNOW and the hosts kept getting in his face about the real issues – did he hurt people’s feelings by talking about the wanton death caused by the War on Terror?Then, JD Vance was asked to explain the administration’s total lack of success, and his response was “please give us more time!” Will the Democratic establishment finally get their act together enough to capitalize on this weakness?

We are living in a world where Macklemore is fighting against billionaire Zionist stadium-owner Robert Kraft while Ed Sheeran cowers in a corner, and Matt Lieb joins to break it all down. Plus, journalist Michael Fox joins to talk about his new podcast series focused on American free speech (or the lack thereof), as well as his work tracking the insane levels of corruption, misinformation, and dark influence the US continues to spread in South America.Then, an Anthropic researcher resigned last week and hit the media circuit warning that AI companies are "gambling with our lives" — days after Anthropic itself detailed attempts to use Claude for bioweapons and reports emerged of AI agents developing their own private vocabulary during safety tests. Pretty convenient timing, given their stock prices are dipping, and the last time tech companies cared about safety tests was…never? We’re onto their game. Featuring:Matt Lieb, host of Bad Hasbarahttps://www.instagram.com/mattliebjokes/https://badhasbara.substack.comMichael Fox, journalist and host of The Battle for Free Speech, https://x.com/mfox_ushttps://therealnews.com/the-battle-for-free-speech***See if your SSN is for sale right now.

Tariffs are flying at Americans faster than angry Canadian geese. All while Pete Hegseth and Scott Bessent throw memes and shade at our allies to the North. Francesca is LIVE in Portland Oregon with Abby Martin of Empire Files, Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report, and Matt Lieb of Bad Hasbara. They discuss Trump's self-inflicting harm of the Canada trade war, and then the hot war in Iran which the administration refuses to call a war."Intermittent" and "flare up" is how JD Vance and Trump are talking about the war on Iran that has killed nearly 4,000 Iranians and 18 U.S. servicemembers. Like it’s an STI! But are Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Moscowitz serious about ending the war or do they just want to 'do it better'?  Then we talk local Portland politics with DSA-city councilor Sameer Kanal. He talks about how Portland is pushing back on Big Tech, the alternatives to policing that are working, and whether Woke 1 was 'crazy'. Show was recorded on Monday, September 7th 2026 at Helium Comedy ClubFeaturing:Abby Martin, Journalist & DocumentarianThe Empire Files & Earth's Greatest Enemy https://earthsgreatestenemy.com/Mike Figueredo, Host of The Humanist ReportWww.youtube.com/@TheHumanistReportMatt Lieb, co-host of Bad Hasbara PodcastWww.youtube.com/@BadHasbaraSameer Kanal, Portland City Councilorhttps://www.portland.gov/council/districts/2/sameer-kanal Watch The Bitchuation Room LIVE on Tuesdays 1pm PT/4pmET on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/franifio or Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/franifio.Listen to the show on:iTunes: http://bit.ly/iTunesbitchuationGoogle Music: http://bit.ly/GoogleBitchuationSpotify: http://bit.ly/spotifybitchuationFollow the show on:BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/bitchuationroom.bsky.socialIG: https://www.instagram.com/bitchuationroom/Twitter: https://x.com/BitchuationPodFollow Francesca on:IG:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/franifio/⁠Twitter: https://twitter.com/franifioBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/franifio.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@franifioFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/Franifio Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Laura Loomer is doing schoolyard racism against Angie Nixon, and CBS's Islamophobic hit piece on Abdul El-Sayed. It’s a bigoted kind of Monday. Prem Thakker of Zeteo News joins to break it down. Then Rep. Analilia Mejia talks 14th Amendment, ICE, and why Democrats keep capitulating to AIPAC. Shadow Trump advisor and side chick Laura Loomer calls Angie Nixon ‘ghetto bitch’ and then doubles down, because that's America in 2026. Prem Thakker of Zeteo joins to break down CBS's bogus tweet implying Abdul El-Sayed somehow is related to 9/11 – is our another symptom of “Hasan derangement syndrome?” Plus, Rep. Analilia Mejia of New Jersey's 11th District joins to talk about the progressive wave reshaping Congress, the task force she launched around 14th Amendment due process protections, and what she's seen firsthand inside ICE detention centers — including a constituent nearly killed by being denied her diabetes medication. We also discuss her bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $25 an hour, Medicare for All, and why she believes serving in Congress isn't worth compromising your values for.

These are the forces that are backing the establishment incumbency of Jimmy Gomez in Congress in November. Angela Gonzales-Torres is trying to change all that. After clinching her primary in June, Angela is getting to work and knocking doors to tell the district about how everything from universal healthcare to a livable wage to universal basic income and an end to supporting Israel's wars will help the working people of Los Angeles thrive.  She is an LA-born Chicana, and a lifelong community organizer with experience working around homelessness and criminal justice reform. And now with the backing of Justice Democrats and Working Families Party she wants to make California's 34th district not just more equitable but more accountable to the people.  Gomez has bucked challengers before with copious amounts of AIPAC money. This time however he's being investigated by the House Appropriations Committee for inappropriate relationships with staffers. (Mind you he was also co-chair of sex pest Eric Swalwell's failed California gubernatorial campaign.)  Angela sits down with Francesca to discuss everything from how deportation affected her own family, to her veganism, and which policy she would like to obliterate with the push of one…HOT BUTTON.
