Summary

After briefly opening Pandora’s Box of Trump-Epstein anger, right-wing mouthpieces are now being good ‘boys’ and ‘gals’ by no longer talking about Epstein. Krystal Ball of Breaking Points and Krystal and Kyle and Friends joins Francesca to talk about the easy acquiescence of MAGA, plus the billionaire hubris of hedge fund manager Bill Ackman buying his way into men’s sports. Then, Cuomo is running as an independent and seems even sadder and more frail than before. What does Zohran’s electrifying the Democratic base mean for the party moving forward, and how has anti-Zionism become a litmus test. Then, journalist Matt Broomfield joins to about Jared Kushner’s land grab in Albania, and the the Rojava Revolution in Northern Syria, where 4 million Kurds live after having battled ISIS, the Turks and The Syrian government to carve out self-governance that is gender and ethnically inclusive.
