About this episode

Francesca Fiorentini hosts a live podcast in Portland discussing the Canada trade war and the situation in Iran with guests Abby Martin, Mike Figueredo, and Matt Lieb.

Tariffs are flying at Americans faster than angry Canadian geese. All while Pete Hegseth and Scott Bessent throw memes and shade at our allies to the North. Francesca is LIVE in Portland Oregon with Abby Martin of Empire Files, Mike Figueredo of The Huamanist Report, and Matt Lieb of Bad Hasbara. They discuss Trump's self-inflicting harm of the Canada trade war, and then the hot war in Iran which the administration refuses to call a war.
