Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by playing back some ridiculously entertaining audio from Becky Pringle, head of the National Education Association, who gave a hilariously passionate speech to her audience of teachers. In the speech, Pringle yells at the top of her lungs and cries, complaining about the politicization of the profession and the negative reputation developing, not realizing that speeches like this only fuel the fire. Then, Dom plays back clips from MSNBC historian Michael Bechloss, who compares Trump to Benito Mussolini and calls DeSantis a fascist. Also, Dom discusses third party candidates who have shown interest in running for President, telling how he thinks both RFK Jr and Cornell West will help the cause of Republicans in a presidential primary.


Then, Dom welcomes back Riley Gaines, former NCAA swimmer who's become a women's rights and Title IX activist, back on the show. Gaines, who made news after speaking out against transgendered swimmers including Penn's Lia Thomas, offers updates on what she's been up to, first responding to Lia Thomas announcing this week that they're an "antifa super soldier," which doesn't surprise the host or the guest. Then, Riley tells about the launch of her new podcast, “Gaines for Girls,” telling that she hopes to share her message with young girls, hoping to empower them and giving them a voice in a strange world in which biological men are competing against biological women. Also, Gaines updates her push to have other big women athletes speak out, explaining some movement she's seen, telling what she hopes to accomplish with having some big names sign on.
