036 - California's conversion therapy loophole, and Governor Newsom is grilled by ConnorEatsPants on Fortnite Friday
Today we're discussing Governor Gavin Newsom's hardest-hitting interview from the Left in ages, which was conducted by a Twitch streamer named ConnorEatsPants on Fortnite Friday. Listen to our discussion on their talk, but you'll definitely want to hop over to his YouTube channel and watch it as well. It includes a phenomenal discussion on a one-state solution in the Israel-Palestine conflict, lots of hilarious Boomer moments from the governor as he tries to navigate the video game, and an incredible moment discussing Newsom's ex-wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Newsom was on the show to discuss Proposition 50, which every Californian should be supporting (the ballots are in your mailboxes, folks!). We have some updates there on this important fight against the Trump administration's gerrymandering push in red states.
We then get into a story in the San Francisco Chronicle discussing an incredibly important issue--California's massive problem with "conversion therapy" groups. In this story, Kempa's former SN&R colleague, Raheem Hosseini, explores the state's problem with these damaging programs, and hints at how we can end them.
