Hasan Goes Mainstream & Republicans Beg Voters (Feat. Emma Vigeland)

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? Or is it total fecklessness all the way down?Featuring:Emma Vigelandhttps://www.instagram.com/emmavigeland***See if your SSN is for sale right now.

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.

It’s the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and Wajahat Ali of The Left Hook joins to discuss a quarter-century of Islamophobia being weaponized against Zohran Mamdani; plus, journalist Jasper Craven on how military schools manufacture the toxic masculinity behind guys like Pete Hegseth.Republicans used the memorial to attack Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed, and Hasan Piker as terrorist sympathizers — while Trump skipped the ceremony entirely. Wajahat joins to break down America’s Islamophobia, Zohran Mamdani's release of buried 9/11 air-quality documents showing New Yorkers were misled for decades, and a bombshell Haaretz report on what Netanyahu knew before October 7th and chose to ignore.Then, investigative journalist Jasper Craven joins to discuss his new book God Forgives, Brothers Don't — an investigation into the military school pipeline that puts out the violent, fragile men who screw up the country. Featuring:Wajahat Ali, host of The Left Hook, https://thelefthook.substack.comJasper Craven, investigative journalist and author of God Forgives, Brothers Don't,https://x.com/Jasper_CravenBuy Jasper's book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/God-Forgives-Brothers-Dont/Jasper-Craven/9781668087190***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.

Milo Yiannopoulos: arrested by the same ICE machine he spent years cheering on! He’s detained pending deportation, and Jasmine Crockett won't say whether she'll campaign for James Talarico against Ken Paxton in Texas. Wajahat Ali of The Left Hook joins to break it all down. We cover the deliberate dismantling of the FDA, CDC, and EPA that's turned grocery store lettuce, guac, and pistachio butter into public health hazards, the Trump administration's push to sell off Yosemite and Big Bend National Park to private developers and border wall contractors, and Hakeem Jeffries' meeting with Jared Kushner days after attacking Medicare for All and defending Islamophobe Randy Fine. Then, the Milo Yiannopoulos story: the DHS press release, the years of him demanding mass deportations and ICE checkpoints, and why nobody's crying for him.  Plus Jasmine Crockett is refusing to commit to campaigning for Talarico in the Texas Senate race?

Dolly Parton is dead at 80 — RIP to a lady who set the standard for what a good person can accomplish. Meanwhile, on the extreme opposite end, Jared Kushner is meeting privately with Hakeem Jeffries while AIPAC still runs the table in Washington. Francesca is joined by Miles Gray of The Daily Zeitgeist to talk about Dolly's legacy, the manufactured trans panic that erupted at a WNBA game, and why the Democratic establishment keeps finding common ground with LITERALLY ANYONE instead of the left. Then, Francesca interviews investigative journalist and labor organizer Camila Lourdes Galarza, reporting from an undisclosed location after receiving death threats, about the tortured fishermen who survived the strikes, the murdered prosecutor, and the US-backed dictatorship taking shape in Ecuador under President Daniel Noboa. And oh, yeah – remember the US boat strikes off the coast that killed over 220 people with zero evidence any of them were trafficking drugs? The prosecutor investigating it just turned up assassinated.

Minnesota leads the way with Peggy Flanagan and anti-ICE , anti-FLOCK cameras and anti-Jake Lang resistance. How is this midwest seed-art state able to do so much in these times of fascism? Francesca finds out, speaking with state Senator Zaynab Mohamed, on how a slim Democratic majority converted to real political wins. Then from Natalie Harp’s insanity, Boy George’s genocide song, and the many FDA recalls, Francesca digs into local and national shenanigans with comedians Matt Lieb and Lizz Winstead. Plus a history lesson into Anthony Comstock, the man who purchased all the lewd magazines and objects and is the reason we might not have Plan C pills no more. There’s even a cameo from failed Minnesota gubernatorial candidate, Mike Lindell, by way of James Adomian. Recorded live at the Parkway Theater on August 20th, 2026. Thanks to everyone who came out.

A black academic is dead, while Andrew Tate gets a MAGA lawyer to defend his crimes. Hakeem Jeffries rejects Medicare for All and Jared Kushner tells Israel to “finish the job”. Francesca is joined by Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report to talk about why the British press is so vicious and how Peter Thiel fascists are behind the deadly anti-DEI backlash.  Then, the Tate Brothers are bringing all the worst men out to rally for them outside of a Miami jail, and we all wonder how such misogyny has broken containment into the mainstream.  Finally, Francesca interviews Mother Jones' elections correspondent Ari Berman about the midterms, gerrymandering, Trump’s grand plan (if any exists) for 2028, how are Republicans making voting near impossible, and where are they holding back on their worst wiles… if anywhere. *** Rock the pod on your bod.
