Students Abandoned, Psycho Dog-Killing Kristi Noem *FRANTASTIC FRIDAYS*
Francesca airs some righteous grievances about student protesters being demonized by their own universities, the police and the political establishment. Plus, the student who says she was "stabbed" in the eye has a history of fabricating victimhood stories. Finally South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has a new book out where she describes killing a dog and a goat in a ditch. PRESIDENTIAL!

Rep. Ro Khanna On Palestine, Modi, & Big Tech
Rep. Ro Khanna of California wants to be the future of the Democratic
Party. But do his policies and votes speak to the base? Francesca asks
the Rep. about his vote to condemn the slogan "from the river to the sea
Palestine will be free", his worrying support for Prime Minister Modi
of India, and what his vision of "progressive capitalism" would look
like.

Impeachment Interrupted with Sam Seder (Ep 227)
Remember when Republicans were going to "IMEACH BIDEN"? Whatever
happened to that? Sam Seder of The Majority Report joins to explain the
indicted informant, the 1023, and the absence of evidence not being
evidence of absence or whatever Rumsfeld used to say. Then, Iran's
strike on Israel has us all wondering if we're on the brink of WW3 and
whether Biden has finally reached his limit with genocide. Then, Javier
Milei and Elon Musk have a meeting of minds and dicks in Austin and we
try and imagine "a worse duo."
RO KHANNA HAD TO DIP TO VOTE, HE WILL BE ON FRIDAY'S 4/19 SHOW!

Customer Reviews
Love this Show
Francesca is am amazing advocate, interviewer and comedian (in no specific order). So glad this show exists!
An entertaining way to hear about this hellscape
My friend recently introduced me to this podcast and it’s now my favorite. If I have to hear about this awful world, I appreciate the twist of humor because if you’re not laughing, you’re crying, right?
5 friggin stars
I love this show. Fran is the best host and always has great guests. If you’re looking for a way to stay educated on current events and in the loop about what’s going on in the world in general - look no further.
