We’ve been promised a new American Baby Boom by a man who wears diapers and calls himself president, but the plan isn’t going well. Trump has surrounded himself with yet another cluster of weirdos: the pronatalists. Pronatalists claim they are concerned with population decline despite no evidence of population decline. They claim their movement isn’t racist despite openly talking about ‘white genocide’ and the ‘Great Replacement Theory.’ In this deep dive, Francesca explores the characters who lead this eugenic-adjacent movement– from the Collinses who like to hit their 3-year-old in public, to the founder of the annual conference NatalCon Kevin Dolan, who is an extremist Mormon– and their close ties to the U.S. government via Elon Musk, Peter Theil and JD Vance. What’s the real reason people aren’t having kids, and how are pronatalists and their friends in high places, totally unserious about changing that. Don’t worry, it’s not your genes they want, it’s their own. Their very very weird genes. 00:00 Introduction 00:01:46 EWWW-LON MUSK 00:04:51 THE CREEPY COLLINSES 00:08:12 NATALCON: THE SERENGETI OF PRONATALISTS 00:09:07 DIVORCE "EXPERT" BRIT BENJAMIN 00:10:40 PEACHY KEENAN 00:12:24 KK-KEVIN DOLAN 00:16:52 THE WAR ON CHILDLESS PEOPLE 00:20:54 TRUMP BACKTRACKS ON IVF 00:23:36 NO INTEREST IN LOWERING COSTS FOR PARENTS 00:26:22 TRUMP'S BABY BONUSES ARE A CROCK 00:27:29 MEDALS FOR MOTHERHOOD?! **** Support independent media and these long-form videos by becoming a Patron of The Bitchuation Room: https://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom.

Funerals usually have waterworks but pyrotechnics, antisemitism AND Goebbel’s plagiarism? Sign me up! Francesca and comedian Mohanad Elsheiky discuss the unsettling Charlie Kirk memorial, and the looming takeover of TikTok from a man named Lachlan and the Ellison family. Wither Palestine speech. Plus Kimmel is back on the air, kind of… Then journalist Akela Lacy joins to talk about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s path of truth telling and bold proposals, and Kamala Harris. Womp. Harris barely endorses Zohran and tries to pass every buck for her failure as a presidential candidate. What’s next for the rift in the Big Tent party and why is “good enough” not enough.  Featuring:  Mohanad Elshieky, comedian (who you can catch on tour: https://linktr.ee/mohanad.elshieky) Watch or listen to Mohanad's special here: https://www.comedydynamics.com/catalog/mohanad-elshieky-no-need-to-address-me/ Akela Lacy, Senior Politics Reporter & co-host of The Intercept Briefing podcast https://theintercept.com/staff/akelalacy/ https://x.com/akela_lacy **** Support independent media and these long-form videos by becoming a Patron of The Bitchuation Room: https://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom.

Francesca takes stock of WTH has happened over the last few days. We'll break down why Kimmel was allegedly canceled, the FCC chair wanting more shows to go, how we got to this point of media consolidation and why so-called free speech comics are so so silent.  TAKE ACTION AGAINST DISNEY/HULU: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13oN79zvnRjiZEG71HWyqXhvVJ4jNca0xlpwnvLMlxAM/preview?tab=t.0# TAKE ACTION, CALL NEXSTAR AFFILIATES IN YOUR AREA AND DEMAND KIMMEL IS RETURNED: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10q-kcuZDdWXZUv829--kbYz96y9pzwYq0xHXD1coRbk/edit?gid=0#gid=0 **** Support independent media and these long-form videos by becoming a Patron of The Bitchuation Room: https://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom.

As information about Charlie Kirk’s assassin trickles in, so do the bizarre inconsistencies. A destroyed letter? A very on the nose text thread. And there still doesn’t appear to be evidence of the “hardened leftist” narrative, but that hasn’t stopped the entire regime from putting anyone left of center in their crosshairs. Blakeley, musician and content creator, joins Francesca to talk about JD Vance and Stephen Miller threatening any American leftist and the dovetailing with tall of the censorship of free speech around Palestine. But first, author Jacob Silverman joins to talk about his new book, Gilded Rage: Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley, and how it is that techies went from being normal Democrats to reactionaries pining away for some feudal past.   Featuring:  Jacob Silverman, journalist and author Buy Jacob's book here: https://www.jacobsilverman.com/p/preorder-gilded-rage Blakeley https://www.instagram.com/_iamblakeley/ https://www.youtube.com/@iamblakeley **** Support independent media and these long-form videos by becoming a Patron of The Bitchuation Room: https://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom.

Every fantasy franchise has an insufferable part of its fan base. But this one takes the cake. Powerful conservatives are obsessed with The Lord of The Rings. We know this because they name their military tech companies, surveillance companies and venture capital firms after objects in Middle Earth. Billionaire Peter Thiel has named 10 of his companies after things in Lord of The Ring, including Palantir, the Trump's regime's authoritarian surveillance company of choice. JD Vance has called himself a "Lord of the Rings guy", Elon Musk has hot anti-woke takes on The Rings of Power, and Jeff Bezos helped make that series by buying the rights to the franchise via Amazon. Even the far right even in Spain and Italy identify with the Lord of The Rings. They believe they’re in a fight against dark forces, and that they’re heroic men of Gondor, or Elves of Rivendell. Yeah that’s right: the people helping ICE disappear mothers and fathers think they’re the good guys. What’s worse is that they believe that Tolkien’s Catholicism means he would agree with their world view that immigrants, feminists and global cooperation are the enemy.  Francesca digs deep into “The Nerd Reich’s” misreading of Lord of the Rings and how they took all the wrong lessons from the story. She looks at how their behavior and beliefs are more the stuff of Saruman than saviors. But they’re even more like another creature in the bogs of Mordor…  **** Support independent media and these long-form videos by becoming a Patron of The Bitchuation Room: https://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom.

Everything just got a lot worse. The manhunt is still underway for Charlie Kirk but President Trump and the regime are wasting no time blaming the ‘radical left’ for basically calling Kirk’s hate speech… hate speech. Trump and the State Department are threatening immigrants who appear to celebrate or rationalize the murder with deportation. The regime has decided, despite any evidence, that Democrats and the broader left are to blame for the heinous crime. Wajahat Ali joins Francesca to talk about the media’s lionization of Kirk, and bringing down the axe on those who point out what a divisive figure he was. To put it mildly. He has demonized immigrants people of color, queer people, Muslim women with smears and lies for years. His audience was primed for blaming others and for conspiracies like the Jeffery Epstein saga. We have to hold a few things at once: nothing justifies this senseless murder, no weapons of war should be available to civilians, and no, no Charlie Kirk was not a good person. *** See Francesca LIVE PASADENA - October 1st- New World Disorder.

This week in ‘billionaires ruin everything’: CBS’s David Ellison is foaming at the mouth to hand over millions to Bari Weiss and her “Free Press” brand. David Doel of The Rational National joins to break down the Free Press-ification of the mainstream outlet.  Plus, new reporting shows ICE is working with Israeli spyware company Paragon, whose tools can crack encrypted apps, hijack microphones, and track your every move. Should we all get flip phones? Or land line phones shaped like lips? Then, as Trump attempts to invade Chicago and threatens that the city will "find out why it's called the Department of WAR," we discuss the militarization of cops and fetishization of crime rates that led us here with the author of 'The End of Policing' Alex Vitale. **** Support real independent media and become a Patron of The Bitchuation Room: https://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom.

Journalist Ken Klippenstein joins to talk about the U.S. military’s strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug cartel boat in international waters, and the increasing military positioning against cartels. Trump is salivating at the idea of Venezuelan oil while Pete Hegseth doesn’t rule out a U.S. war of regime change.

Do you want to live? If you answered yes, you might be concerned with the roadkill enthusiast taking a sledgehammer to the U.S.’ national health infrastructure. RFK Jr. is Francesca’s front-runner as the most dangerous Trump official. She takes stock of everything that Kennedy has destroyed since assuming his position as secretary of Health and Human Service and who he’s harming the most. And while MAHA has claimed wins over food brands taking out seed oils, artificial dyes and high fructose corn syrup from their products, by how harmful are these things really? And why does no one in MAHA seem to care about the “chronic disease” linked to tobacco use or testosterone, two things that RFK Jr. himself uses. We’ll point out the inconsistencies, the incompetence and the ‘soft eugenics’ of a healthcare official who thinks some people’s death is a-okay. *** Support Francesca’s long-form deep dives like this by becoming a member on YouTube or a patron at www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom and get EARLY ACCESS to new videos. *** CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 - INTRO 00:04:42 - TOTAL INCOMPETENCE 00:08:25 - DEFUNDING HEALTH  00:11:07 - TOBACCO BLINDNESS 00:17:30 - SOFT EUGENICS 00:20:01 - HIV & AIDS 00:21:12 - ANTI-TRANS 00:24:44 - FOOD BENEFITS 00:27:51 - MEDICAID 00:33:15 - VACCINES & COVID 00:42:43 - THROWBACK DISEASES 00:48:07 - AUTISM 00:52:03 - MAHA FOOD WINS? 01:00:50 - FOOD SAFETY FOREGONE 01:03:58 - OUTRO *** See Francesca LIVE HOUSTON AUGUST 28 - Francesca and Matt will be at The Punchline in Houston.

“We treated ISIS better than starving Palestinians,” says Anthony Aguilar, a whistleblower who was once tasked with security for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution centers and quit over the things he saw. They include things like IDF soldiers opening fire on starving Palestinian children, a lack of professionalism and lack knowledge of humanitarian operations, and downright Islamophobia. Aguilar is a 25-year U.S. Army veteran, a green beret, and Francesca also welcomes Wajahat Ali back to the show to dig into these horrors, and once again marvel at leading Democrats’ inability to call this genocide a genocide and restrict weapons sales to Israel.  Featuring: Anthony Aguilar Former Green Beret, Subcontractor with UG Solutions Wajahat Ali  thelefthook.substack.com *** See Francesca LIVE HOUSTON AUGUST 28 - Francesca and Matt will be at The Punchline in Houston.

The wine o’clock girl boss is at it again. Even though Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona is out of the Senate, she’s spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign cash on lavish hotels, dinners, Taylor Swift concert tickets and LOTS OF WINE. Now she’s working as a lobbyist for the cryptocurrency company in bed with Trump: Coinbase.  How is it that a Democrat is allowed to both be so beholden to corporate donors but also illegally spend so much money on… WINE. So much wine. Francesca will lay our all of Sinema’s illegal spending, which industries paid for her work tanking progress for the American people, and what she’s up to now.  While Kyrsten may be the Anna Delvey of the Senate, the very fact that she was never held accountable for her flagrant fraud is evidence of how the Democratic party might talk a big game, but are just as compromised when it comes to big money.

A bad vote from AOC is giving Francesca chills about 2026 and 2028. If Democratic leaders can’t shake the liberal Zionist tendencies, the party (and Palestine) are doomed. Meanwhile, vigilante websites like Canary Mission get a new lease on doxxing as Trump’s DHS is using their database to disappear students like Rumeysa Ozturk and Mahmoud Khalil. Journalist Sophie Hurwitz joins to explain.  But first, Eric Adams continues to be trash as limps toward November, and commentator and movement lawyer Olayemi Olurin is here for all of it. Plus declassifying the … MLK Jr. files?

This dude badly needs media coaching. You can't just keep angrily soapboxing on someone else's show, bulldozing through all attempts to guide the conversation along. I respect what he's doing, but what a boorish blowhard.

Amanda Nguyễn is also an activist and founder of Rise, which advocates for SA survivors at the legal level. She has a memoir out called "Saving Five: A Memoir of Hope" about her upbringing, her experience of SA, and how that motivated her to get a Survivors Bill of Rights passed in Congress. Worth a read

Came over from Bad Hasbara. As suspected, this is liberal garbage. Liz Cheney *should* be executed. I hope you feel good about running cover for an absolute bird brain like Kamala Harris before losing your ass off to a cretin like Trump. Again.

I think the lesser of two evils argument is bogus. If that's the current narrative, then democracy is dead, and it's time for a socialist revolution.
