There's a new genre Trump crony: crypto-fascists. These are the billionaire urchins hanging around the new administration like David Sacks, Marc Andreesen and David Horowitz who want to ensure crypto goes legit. Journalist Molly White joins Francesca to talk about the political crypto spending blitz in 2024 and what it means for the future. And comedian James Adomian joins Francesca to talk about new Italian folk hero Luigi Mangioni, who may or may not have offed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and his entire (and literal) backstory. Finally, new segment "Kiss The Ring" about the many anti-Trumpers suddenly trying to give him a big ole break.
