Hello and welcome to the Bituation Room podcast live stream on Election Day, November 4th,

2025. This is a pre-recorded episode. However, I want to tell youall to get out there and vote.

We will be doing a Thursday show sort of running down the election results, but obviously big day for New York City.

Let's go, Zoran. Let's effing go. Come on, baby. I hope he wears his apron with nips out for the day and he votes that way.

I'm very excited to plan Cuomo's move to Florida, but you know, you cannot get complacent.

Everybody voting is late. You can still do phone banking if you want to phone bank.

Also, Katie Wilson, mayor of Seattle, next mayor of Seattle, we hope. Let's knock Bruce Harrell

out of this thing. Of course, Katie was with us during the live show over the summer,

over in Seattle. So that was such a good time and i i really i'm a big believer also

of course in california prop 50 let's go you know cal california does by mail if you haven't got

your prop 50 ballot in you can still get it in today okay so go send it in go find a drop off

location prop 50 let's re-jerrymander this state so that we can actually mount some kind of offense or defense against what Republicans are doing across the country,

gerrymandering, all of the Democrats out. I mean, it's a wrap.

Anyway, my name is Francesca Fiorentini. We have just an incredible show. It has been a long time coming, but I've really wanted to drill down on what the Trump regime's broadening of surveillance, use of the FBI against the left, against progressives, against organizers,

against movements, against nonprofits, specifically Arab and Muslim organizers, black and brown

organizers, you know, anyone who, again, like trains organizers and has been like movement staples

foundations they are going after it all and a lot of this is in relationship to

the NSPM 7 the National Security Presidential Memoran 7 who Ken

Clint is going to be joining us in a little bit to talk about that.

Later on,

we're going to speak with Professor of Law at CUNY University of New York,

who co-directs an organization called Clear, Ramsey Kasim.
