Not 24 hours into a Trump presidency and Elon throws up a very telling gesture. John Iadarola of The Damage Report joins to discuss the billionaire-back inauguration, the impact of Trump's revoking of birthright citizenship along with Congress passing the Laken Riley Act. Plus a look at Biden versus Trump on Gaza-- one ideologically committed, the other committed to nothing but himself. Then author Bill Fletcher Jr. joins Francesca to talk about where the left goes from here, building left institutions, the role of unions, and why we need to bring back the ideas of solidarity.

It's the last Friday of the Biden Administration and Francesca is going out with a bang. First, we talk with Lois Parshley of The Lever about her latest piece on the insurance industry in California in the wake of the LA fires. Read her article here: https://www.levernews.com/we-will-all-be-paying-for-l-a-s-wildfires/

Then a fitting end to a genocidal tenure, as outgoing Secretary of State Antony Blinken has journalist Sam Husseini hauled out of the press briefing room. And Francesca looks at Zuckerberg's new fashy glow up and how his tune has changed over the years always in favor of money.

And finally, a look at some lowlights from the Trump cabinet's nomination hearings. A bunch of peaked in high school dingbat loyalists are about to join the most blackmail-able administration in history.

The fires still rage in California while Republicans threaten to withhold aid to the state unless it stops doing... DEI? Comedian Trae Crowder joins Francesca to break down the dumbest conspiracies about the fires other than what it really is: climate change. Then Mondale Robinson, Mayor of Enfield North Carolina and founder of Black Male Voter Project joins Francesca to talk about how Democrats keep losing Black and brown voters, the Kamala Harris loss, and why Mondale no longer contributes to The Young Turks network. Gulp!

We welcome iconic actor Laverne Cox back on the show to discuss the news of the week and trans resistance under Trump. What's her assessment of the Harris campaign's as it pertains to trans rights? Should the first trans Congressperson Sarah McBride try and ignore the hate? And is Josh Hawley the right kind of "right-wing populist"? So many questions and one juicy ass interview.

The coup is complete. Kamala Harris presides over Congress as it certifies Donald Trump's victory in the most pride-swallowing act of unrequited normalcy possible. Comedian Will Weldon and commentator Jordan Uhl join Francesca in the first show of the year to talk about an eerily normal January 6th, the MAGA civil war over H1B visas, and the legacy of Jimmy Carter. Plus a healthy dose of bitching to begin what will certainly be the dumbest year yet.

While the right rushes to blame the border for two acts of homegrown terrorism, Francesca looks at the commonality between the Vegas and New Orleans attacks: the U.S. military. Why is it that so many anti-government militias or violent religious extremists have a military background? Maybe it has something to do with the culture of the U.S. military as a kind of death cult in its own right.

Then, why Josh Hawley is not the kind of right-wing populist that we should be heralding.

Woooee! Things get spicy between Francesca and Cenk as they discuss Cenk's recent tour of right wing media outlets, left versus right populism, establishment vs anti-establishment, and the future of TYT as the country awaits the ascendence of God Emperor Donald Trump for a second term.

The billionaire class continues to bend the knee to Trump, while Democrats are in the perpetual "bargaining" stage of the stages of grief by trying to 'find common ground' with Trump. Then MSNBC hosts finally allowed to critique Democrats?! And the NLRB finds that the Love Is Blind contestants might be rule as employees, plus Iowa's Satanist cults have their holiday parties ruined.

What changes could be made to the political system that would restore our faith in it? Strategy director of Working Families Party Nelini Stamp joins Francesca to talk about things like fusion voting, ranked choice voting and proportional representation--things that could help third parties break out, and possibly even Republicans could get down with. And comedian Rell Battle discusses the IRANIAN MOTHERSHIP that has deployed drones according to extremists, the coddling of vigilantes, and when nepotism is actually okay.

Bernie Sanders says RFK Jr. is "right" about the food industry? Should we be giving this anti-science kook any credit as he takes over Health and Human Services? Hosts of the podcast Conspirituality, Matthew Remski and Derek Beres join Francesca to discuss RFK Jr.'s lawyer suing to rescind the polio vaccine, the National Institute of Health nominee and COVID herd immunity guy Jay Bhattacharya, the continued fallout of the United Healthcare CEO's murder, and Tulsi Gabbard in a far-right Hindu cult!
