You Can't Groom a Child to Be Trans - But You Can Groom a Transphobe into Believing They're a Devout Christian
John's monologue is a discussion about the Colorado Supreme Court dismissing a discrimination suit against a baker who refused to bake a cake for a Trans woman. He talks about the fake Christians that use the bible to hide their bigotry and hate. Then, he interviews Timothy Shenk who is an assistant professor of history at George Washington University and a senior editor at Dissent magazine. They discuss his new book "Left Adrift: What Happened to Liberal Politics?". Next, Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella return for "We're Still Here" AKA the Native Voices Segment. They talk about Columbus Day and stories involving politics and indigenous prejudice. Then winding it up, John speaks with Siri Dahl who is an award-winning adult film performer as well as a writer, social media personality, and sex workers rights activist. They discuss the CORN TELETHON, a scintillating and silly 12-hour livestream produced and organized by Siri Dahl, Alex Steed, and Madelynn Britt. Streaming live Noon to Midnight East on Tuesday October 15th from Los Angeles on Siri Dahl’s Twitch and YouTube channels, this cheeky but SFW stream will be hosted by Siri and a rotating group of friends, presented in the style of a classic Jerry Lewis telethon. It will land somewhere between USA's Up All Night, an episode of Hee Haw, and an Elvira special. The CORN TELETHON aims to combine entertainment with activism to make clear that Project 2025 is bad (of course) but also points out that many current laws that pertain to privacy, porn, and sex work already on the books are not great, and not just for sex workers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
