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?

Comedian Roy Wood Jr. and data analyst Tom Bonier join Francesca to discuss the midterms. Plus, Texas governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor De Satan are sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, veep Kamala Harris’ house, and now Biden’s home in Delaware in questionably legal but unquestionably cruel political stunts. Then, more video of election meddling from Republicans in Coffee County, Georgia as the “alternate electors” plan is now coming to light and Trump stooges are under investigation. Then an edition of The Cringeys featuring Marjorie Taylor Greene, Herschel Walker, and a rapping Utah candidate. PLUS a patron-only look at Illinois’ latest police and prison reform bill and why it is a far cry from the right’s characterization of a “purge”.

Francesca and guest Brett Payne of Street Fight Radio talk about the layers of corruption currently causing families to ration food for their infants. And, the murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh once again shows us exactly who the Israeli government is and how little they care for human rights.

They let the market run the table no matter the fact that there are half a million unhoused people on any given night in the U.S. Associate professor at the University of Washington Gregg Colburn joins to talk about his new book “Homelessness is a Housing Problem” which re-affirms the real cause of homelessness and offers concrete solutions. Comedian Katrina Davis joins to talk about the first Amazon union (!) in the country and the incredible organizing efforts of ALU at a warehouse in Staten Island. Also, nearly eight hours of missing Trump call logs from January 6th points to only one thing: burner phones, Mr. White.

(And it's always a man.) Francesca is joined by Nomiki Konst and comedian Chloe Hilliard to break down the latest in Ukraine and the insane new dimensions this war is taking. Including an WNBA player being held hostage?! Does Russia think the U.S. cares about female athletes that much?

It's easy to flaunt anti-corruption laws in the highest office because, well, they hardly exist. We mostly have cute little "norms" and guidelines. So when should those "norms" be made into laws, and how can we stop the ever-expanding power of the executive branch? Walter Shaub, former director of the Office of Government Ethics, had a front row seat to the worst impulses of one of the most corrupt administrations... ever. Where it was Donald Trump's refusal to divest from his organization or Kellyanne Conway hawking Ivanka jewelry on television. Shaub's job was to try and hold Trump minimally accountable which, as you can imagine, became impossible. Shaub resigned in July of 2017, citing the administration's disregard for basic government oversight and the stonewalling of his office.

It's easy to flaunt anti-corruption laws in the highest office because, well, they hardly exist. We mostly have cute little "norms" and guidelines. So when should those "norms" be made into laws, and how can we stop the ever-expanding power of the executive branch? Walter Shaub, former director of the Office of Government Ethics, had a front row seat to the worst impulses of one of the most corrupt administrations... ever. Where it was Donald Trump's refusal to divest from his organization or Kellyanne Conway hawking Ivanka jewelry on television. Shaub's job was to try and hold Trump minimally accountable which, as you can imagine, became impossible. Shaub resigned in July of 2017, citing the administration's disregard for basic government oversight and the stonewalling of his office. Now Shaub continues the work advocating for reform of the executive branch outside of government. He spoke with Francesca about his time in OGE under Trump, the importance of voting rights, and assesses whether Biden is doing what he can to prevent a future Trump.

Faith in even progressive representatives is slipping. Whether it’s ending climate change, passing an infrastructure bill or rooting out white supremacy, Democrats too often end up going home when they could go big. On the eve of a bad night for many Democrats (with some silver linings in local elections), Adam Johnson of Citations Needed joins to talk about the failure of the party to think outside the box and their pocketbooks.

Professor Stephanie Kelton and proponent of Modern Monetary Theory has an idea: the government can make it rain, help the people, and f*ck the haters. Deficit spending isn’t actually that big of a problem, she says, so long as inflation is controlled through taxes.

The mayoral race is around the corner and somehow the libertarian entrepreneur who poses as progressive, Andrew Yang, is one of the front runners. NYC-based activist Rafael Shimunov joins Francesca Fiorentini and comedian Matt Lieb for an in-depth look at New York politics in the year 2021: from Andrew Cuomo’s origin story of an a-hole and why he should definitely resign, to the failures of Mayor Bill DeBlasio, to the ranked-choice mayoral primary coming up in June. We’re talking about the big apple, the city that never sleeps, the concrete streets that corporate democratic consultant dreams are made of.  Featuring:  Rafael Shimunov, @rafshimunov (Athena, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice) Matt Lieb, @mattlieb (Pod Yourself a Gun, Good Mythical Morning) Francesca Fiorentini @franifio Join the Franita and become a Patron today: <a href="http://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroomFollow" rel="noopener">www.patreon.com/bitchuationroomFollow</a> The Bitchuation Room on Twitter @BitchuationPodThanks to producer Rebecca Rufer, and post production team Kelly Carey & Dorsey Shaw. Music Credits: The Cannery by Kevin MacLeodLink: <a href="https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4485-the-canneryLicense" rel="noopener">https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4485-the-canneryLicense</a>: <a href="https://filmmusic.io/standard" rel="noopener">https://filmmusic.io/standard</a>-license Support The Bitchuation Room on: Venmo: @TBR-LIVE Cash-App: @TBRLIVE  Check Out The Bitchuation Room Podcast iTunes: <a href="http://bit.ly/iTunesbitchuationGoogle" rel="noopener">http://bit.ly/iTunesbitchuationGoogle</a> Music: <a href="http://bit.ly/GoogleBitchuationStitcher" rel="noopener">http://bit.ly/GoogleBitchuationStitcher</a>: <a href="http://bit.ly/stitcherbitchuationSpotify" rel="noopener">http://bit.ly/stitcherbitchuationSpotify</a>: <a href="http://bit.ly" rel="noopener">http://bit.ly</a>/spotifybitchuation  Find Francesca On: Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com</a>/franifio YouTube: The Bitchuation Room’s channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com</a>/franifio Twitch: <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/franifioFacebook" rel="noopener">https://www.twitch.tv/franifioFacebook</a>: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FranifioInsta" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/FranifioInsta</a>: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/franifio/" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/franifio/</a> See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">thebitchuationroom.podbean.com/3f61f56c-222c-3515-95a0-0a6fccb52595</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Mar 2021 23:42:40 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/48941256/media.mp3" length="72590119" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>The Young Turks</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>It’s up to you, New York!

Maybe even time think about why we ever needed police in the first place? Gasp!
