As Israel shows no sign of slowing down its assault on the people of Gaza, cretinous opportunists are laying out plans for its future. None of these future plans involve Palestinians living with dignity or autonomy or in their homes.  From Trump’s crass comments about the U.S. “owning” Gaza and being some sort of business middle man, to his own son-in-law taking over islands in nearby Albania, the President and his accolades are licking their chops for the total destruction of the area. Francesca lays out five of the most diabolical and outlandish plans for Gaza, which include things like the “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing” free trade zone, and highways named after Mohammad bin-Salman of Saudi Arabia.  Of course we can’t forget about Israel itself and both Prime Minister Netanyahu’s aims and the extremists in his coalition who want a “Greater Israel.” CHAPTERS: #5 BIDEN’S PLAN  #4 TRUMP AND KUSHNER   #3 NETANYAHU AND GAZA 2035 #2 PROJECT AURORA AND … TONY BLAIR?! #1 GREATER ISRAEL *** Support The Bitchuation Room on Patreon so Francesca can do more of these long-form videos.

After briefly opening Pandora’s Box of Trump-Epstein anger, right-wing mouthpieces are now being good ‘boys’ and ‘gals’ by no longer talking about Epstein. Krystal Ball of Breaking Points and Krystal and Kyle and Friends joins Francesca to talk about the easy acquiescence of MAGA, plus the billionaire hubris of hedge fund manager Bill Ackman buying his way into men’s sports. Then, Cuomo is running as an independent and seems even sadder and more frail than before. What does Zohran’s electrifying the Democratic base mean for the party moving forward, and how has anti-Zionism become a litmus test. Then, journalist Matt Broomfield joins to about Jared Kushner’s land grab in Albania, and the the Rojava Revolution in Northern Syria, where 4 million Kurds live after having battled ISIS, the Turks and The Syrian government to carve out self-governance that is  gender and ethnically inclusive.   Featuring: Krystal Ball, podcaster and commentator  Co-host of Breaking Points and Krystal Kyle & Friends podcast.  Matthew Broomfield, author and journalist, https://x.com/mattbroomfield Buy the book here: https://www.akpress.org/hope-without-hope.html Read his latest about Kushner in Albania here: https://jacobin.com/2025/07/kushner-rama-albania-sazan-israel-development-corruption *** Watch Francesca’s latest video essay: “The 5 Most Insane Plans for Gaza” https://youtu.be/W9QTcmOuopY?feature=shared  *** Support The Bitchuation Room on Patreon so Francesca can do more of these long-form videos.

As ICE raids roll on, comedian Vanessa Gonzalez and political director of United We Dream Michelle Ming join to talk real community safety and defense. Then, MAGA gets played like a fiddle as Trump’s DOJ seals the Epstein case/covers his tracks. Plus, Cancun Cruz is now Tourist Ted as he’s spotted in Greece instead of in his home state that’s dealing with the tragic fallout of unprecedented flash flooding. *UPDATE ON THE SHOW* There will no longer be a live bonus Wednesday show or a Friday show. Francesca is going to take the time to refocus on longer-form deep dives that can also be funny. Back to the Newsbroke bread and butter now that her team is stronger thanks to you.

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.

The Senate passes a bill that will strip 12 million people of their healthcare, kick millions off of food assistance, all while making the police state even stronger and giving a tax break to the rich. It’s a wealth transfer as clear as day. Comedian Nato Green is back on to talk about this, plus the dawn of real Big Brother authoritarian surveillance, and the pitiful response from centrist Democrats. Lookout “Project 2029”? Ugh. Then, Pablo Alvarado of The National Day Laborers Organizing Network joins to talk about the ICE attacks on immigrant communities and what is being done to stop the raids on workers at Home Depot.

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.  Featured: The Vanguard - https://www.youtube.com/@TheVanguardPod See Francesca LIVE: PASADENA JULY 5TH -New World Disorder Comedy with Francesca & Friends.

*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!

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?

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.
