Free Palestine, Ohio. After a train derailment the town is choking on toxic chemicals. How did corruption, greed, and crushing train workers unions lead to this accident and thousands of others. Plus, what's the way out of the Russia/Ukraine war? Are we headed closer to a peace settlement or global nuclear annihilation? Jacobin writer Branko Marcetic discusses whether the U.S. missed opportunities for negotiating with Putin and how many more lives will be lost before this is all over. Finally, why aren't people having as much sex? We'll devise a campaign to MAKE SEX SEXY AGAIN...a slogan sure to get everyone in the mood. Plus a BONUS BISH about Iowa and other states bringing back child labor! Fun times.

Don't Be Evil with Nato Green & Mohammad Khatami (Ep 228)

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.

Rep. Ro Khanna On Palestine, Modi, & Big Tech

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!

Impeachment Interrupted with Sam Seder (Ep 227)

The rich coalesce around their bronzed boy in November, out of fear they would pay a cent more in taxes, despite having more money than God. Francesca breaks down just how and why the tax code is so skewed in billionaires' favor in an edition of "Class War." And comedian DeAnne Smith joins to talk about AI genocide and the attacks on DEI. Then journalist Arun Gupta breaks down the Israeli first responder/propagandists The Zaka Group, and why the story of "mass rapes" have been debunked but never retracted. Fun!

Trump's Billionaires and Zaka Propaganda with Arun Gupta & DeAnne Smith (Ep 226)

Biden is feeling the heat after Gaza aid workers targeted, Trump is losing weight but not in his ego, Roseanne Barr is a wine-drunk QAnon grandma, and Francesca's best attempt at a Joe Biden impression. Think animatronic squirrel.
