Nick Reed PODCAST 01.24.23 - Trans Attacking Aretha Franklin Songs, Florida, and MORE.
Hour 3 - Good Tuesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: The Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance group in Norway is calling for Aretha Franklin’s hit 1968 song “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” to be removed from Apple Music and Spotify after they deemed its lyrics offensive. The group condemned the song, citing that it has ignited harm against transgender women. Insiders are reporting widespread panic and despair in Florida's Democratic Party after a series of crushing defeats in the midterm elections. Gov. DeSantis defended his state’s rejection of an Advanced Placement course on African-American studies recommended by the College Board after the White House called the decision "incomprehensible." DeSantis said that the course in question was eliminated because it teaches controversial topics outside African-American history, such as "queer theory" and abolishing prisons.
