    Special Thursday Show with Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez
    Jul 4 2025
    Whelp, the GOP finally did it. The House just passed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, and millions of Americans are going to suffer as a result. Happy Birthday America! Hope you enjoy losing your healthcare and fascism. It’s not all bad though, because this bill also kills all the incentives for green energy in the U.S. At this point, let’s get the climate apocalypse here ASAP. As ICE becomes completely lawless under the authoritarian Trump regime, we need direct action in resistance. Francesca had a conversation with Los Angeles City Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez about the increasing violence from ICE in LA, and the ways he is taking action to build effective resistance. Speaking of ICE, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in the U.S. but still under detention. And we are learning exactly how messed up CECOT is. Kilmar confirmed that he was mentally and physically tortured while at CECOT. And don’t forget that there are still so many immigrants that were sent there illegally who are still stuck under those conditions. All the while, the American gestapo is trying to deport Kilmar AGAIN.

  • TYT's Sad Demise & Ron DeSantis Building "Alligator Alcatraz?" with The Vanguard

    TYT's Sad Demise & Ron DeSantis Building "Alligator Alcatraz?" with The Vanguard
    Jun 29 2025
    With all the insanity going on in the world right now, sometimes you need to take a break, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the Drama. Gavin and Zac from The Vanguard joined Francesca to talk TYT's Cenk and Ana insisting that the right is antiwar and better for coalition-building than leftists. Also, are tourists being kicked out of the U.S. over JD Vance memes? If this is grounds for deportation, then we all may find ourselves in a Salvadoran gulag. But if that ends up being too inconvenient for this regime, maybe you will just end up in Alligator Alcatraz… What exactly is that? Ron Desantis would love to tell you more about it! Then there is Zohran’s win in New York City. While the rest of us celebrating his victory, one New York senator is spreading Islamophobic nonsense about Mamdani. This is Democratic senator Kirsten Gillibrand, proving yet again that it is time to primary all these terrible Dems. And The Supreme Court decides to drop a bunch of devastating rulings before heading over to Harlan Crow’s vacation estate for the summer! Now with brand new World War II German memorabilia.

    Jun 25 2025
    *UPDATE: ZOHRAN MAMDANI WINS! REACTS COMING SOON OR GO TO YOUTUBE.COM/FRANIFIO TO WATCH HER RESPONSE WITH WAJAHAT ALI* Iranians are deeply terrified about the escalating war and attacks from the U.S. and Israel. If regime change is anyone’s desire, this is sure as hell not the way to go about getting it. Iranian-American Journalist Negar Mortazavi joins to explain the ceasefire that wasn’t, the ego of the Trump regime in thinking this is over, and the joy of one Benjamin Netanyahu. Then, producer Paige Oamek and Francesca dish about Zohran Mamdani’s surge and all the different ways establishment Democrats are trying to destroy their best shot at remaining relevant and speaking to young voters who are overwhelmingly progressive. No matter what happens the fight will undoubtedly drag out until November. Gird your loins!

  • MAGA Falls In Line As Trump Defends Iran War *MONDAY SHOW 6/23*

    MAGA Falls In Line As Trump Defends Iran War *MONDAY SHOW 6/23*
    Jun 25 2025
    After bombing three nuclear facilities in Iran, Trump says NOW, nowww it's time for peace. But will it be that simple? As Israel and Iran continue to trade missile attacks — with no real ceasefire established— Francesca takes stock of this ill-fated decision to bomb yet another country in the Middle East. So long as Netanyahu wants conflict it seems, the U.S. will be mired in conflict. When will politicians on either side of the aisle grow a pair?

  • The World After Trump

    The World After Trump
    Jun 19 2025
    Trump might try and be king, but the billionaires who back him and far more concerned with their reign. Someday Donald Trump and the movement that got him elected will be gone. And the billionaires who back him won't care. Because they have other plans. This is the story of how deeply un-american the billionaires who buy our politicians are, from their disregard for democracy, their freak-outs over equality, or the fact that they want to secede from the United States altogether. The broligarchy has no regard for this country. A lot of them aren't even from here! And now their dystopic plans for the United States have come out of the shadows and into the light. Chapters: INTRO: TRUMP IS TEMPORARY 00:01:47 WHAT'S A BROLIGARCH 00:03:18 THE THIEL OF IT ALL 00:06:49 DAVID SACKS: THE CRYPTO & AI CZAR 00:09:00 MARC ANDREESEN, HUMPTY DUMPTY DOGE 00:10:12 PRIVATE CITIES AND BRYAN ARMSTRONG 00:13:52 TECH ZIONISM ACCORDING TO BALAJI SRINIVASAN 00:16:24 CURTIS CREEPY-DEEPY YARVIN 00:20:00 SHILLBILLY ELEGY AND A GROOMED JD VANCE 00:21:56 THE CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST BONE 00:23:32 BEYOND DONALD TRUMP 00:25:30 AHEM-- IN SUMMARY This is a long-form explainer video from Francesca Fiorentini.
