Emily Jashinsky is joined by Drea de Matteo, Emmy Award-winning actress and host of the “ULTRAFREE” podcast. They begin by discussing Drea’s latest career move in the wake of her outspoken stance on COVID and the growing push to hold Anthony Fauci accountable. Drea explains why she believes Fauci has ultimately become a scapegoat for a much larger system involving powerful institutions. Then Emily and Drea react to Wisconsin Democratic Socialist gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong's past calls to cancel holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas before reflecting on Drea's own political evolution and what she believes is drawing more young people toward socialism. Later, they discuss Ariana Grande's bloody new music video, Hollywood's fascination with dark imagery, Perez Hilton's recent hospitalization following a disturbing livestream, and the broader impact of social media, AI, faith, and technology on modern culture. They also reflect on the passing of Drea's former Sopranos castmate Vincent Pastore, with Drea sharing memories from the set and explaining why the iconic series continues to resonate with younger audiences decades so many years after it first aired. Emily closes the show by examining the raging debate on the right over a $20 burrito and why she believes Republicans should address rising costs and economic anxiety with practical solutions rather than dismissing voters' concerns, and more.
