    • A Tech Savvy Left with Taylor Lorenz & Mehdi Hasan (Ep 317)

      A Tech Savvy Left with Taylor Lorenz & Mehdi Hasan (Ep 317)
      Jan 28 2026
      While Lil' Bovino got the boot, right wing influencers are somehow still licking it. We discuss the regime and its minions’ reaction to the killing of Alex Pretti with Mehdi Hasan of Zeteo News. Plus, Trump has clearly proven himself to not be an anti-war president: from kidnapping Maduro to bombing Iran to threatening to invade Greenland. Now, his bogus “Gaza Peace Plan”--as laid out by son-in-law Jared Kushner--ensures he'll forever remain king of the waterfront property built on graves. Then, tech journalist Taylor Lorenz joins to talk about ICE hoovering up data, why protecting “children’s online safety” is often a guise for expanding surveillance, and how if we don’t act the internet as we know it will be over. Speaking of over, let’s check in with “good Zionist only” TikTok.

    • Grok Is Everything That’s Wrong with AI

      Grok Is Everything That’s Wrong with AI
      Jan 27 2026
      Grok. It’s like Uber for your brain. And Grok is growing bigger and bigger, despite breaking laws and being criminally cringe. If you haven’t been on Elon’s platform recently you’re missing the millions of people asking Grok instead of using their brains. And now Grok is digitally undressing young girls with zero accountability. Francesca looks at how the late bloomer to AI, Elon Musk, has gone full throttle into his new venture xAI which includes Grok. He’s even creating a host of AI companions that are definitely making the whole “male loneliness epidemic” much much worse. xAI has also violated federal laws like The Clean Air Act, as it poisons the people of Memphis with its datacenter that is literally named Colossus. Only to be outdone by the new Colossus 2, which is the world’s first gigawatt datacenter. That’s a small country’s worth of energy. All so you can power a girlfriend who you can’t touch. And now predictably, xAI is working with the Pentagon. Pete Hegseth just announced that the DoD is working with Grok for their internal communications, but with the way AI companies have been collaborating with militaries in Israel, it’s only a matter of time before it's used on civilians. So the question becomes: are you ready to stop using the job-killing, water-guzzling, thief of creativity and thought known as AI? I will if you will.

    • Is Bovino Being Taken Out to Pasture?

      Is Bovino Being Taken Out to Pasture?
      Jan 27 2026
      Bovino looks like he’s being put on a different ice, as backlash to the killing of Alex Pretti is perhaps breaching the castle walls. Gun enthusiasts are coming for Kash Patel’s claim that carrying a weapon to a protest means law enforcement can shoot you. Then, Francesca’s livestream looks at the many lies spun by Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino, and the backlash that has surprisingly also come from the right---including a Republican candidate for governor bowing out of his race completely over ICE’s actions. Plus, why is Pam Bondi extorting Minnesota by demanding access to voter rolls and Medicare and SNAP recipient information? Using the threat of ICE’s presence to do it? And looking at the Israelification of immigration enforcement, from detention conditions, to sexual abuse, to zero tolerance for protest. *** See Francesca LIVE Saturday February 14th at 9:30pm Pasadena for New World Disorder: https://www.showclix.com/event/new-world-disorder-Valentines-Day-Edition-02-14-26-9-30-pm *** Support the show becoming a patron https://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom and get exclusive perks.
