Richie & John | Newsday Tuesday, January 28, 2025: Hello MAGA, Goodbye ... Gooning?!
In this Newsday Tuesday episode of Richie & John, the hosts discuss the recent National LGBTQ Task Force’s Creating Change Conference in Las Vegas, the implications of the new administration's policies, and the ongoing challenges faced by marginalized communities, particularly the LGBTQ+ population. They reflect on the heartless decisions made by the Trump administration, including the suspension of PEPFAR funding, the treatment of transgender individuals in federal prisons, and the broader impact of book bans. Should the Golden State take its progressive policies and chip off from the old block? And who might also say so-long USA if they did? The conversation highlights the hypocrisy of conservative policies and the urgent need for activism and awareness in these turbulent times. And, what’s up with a Mississippi Senator who thinks that if women can’t control their bodies, it’s only right that men... can’t bate without some stiff penalties!
