The Dom Giordano Program

In the final hour of today's show, Dom welcomes former Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams to the Program to discuss the heightened crime in and around Philadelphia. First, Giordano and Williams dissect yesterday's weekly press conference held by current DA Krasner, in which he answered questions as to whether tourists should feel safe coming into the city. Then, Giordano and Williams discuss who's to blame for the heightened violence, debating whether Coronavirus had as much an impact on the spike as the DA sells in his press conferences. Then, Williams offers up his own causalities that have led to the current situation, discussing a deep lack of accountability borne in a lack of prosecutions and radically progressive policies. After playing Dom's Money Melody for the day, Williams returns for further discussion, turning to solutions being employed in other cities that have seen their crime rates decrease. Then, to round out the hour, Dom again asks listeners whether they think the United States should participate in the Beijing Olympics.

In today's second hour, Dom welcomes good friend and nationally syndicated host Jim Bohannon to the Dom Giordano Program. First, Giordano and Bohannon discuss the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, highlighting a poll that notes a majority of Republicans blame the Japanese for Pearl Harbor, which both consider a ridiculous notion. Then, Giordano and Bohannon discuss the top stories of 2021, underlining many stories that came from the Coronavirus pandemic. In addition, both pontificate on the benefits and negatives of the current political rhetoric, and Jim Bohannon tells who he would award as his Person of the Year. Then, Giordano circles back to local issues, bringing the topic of conversation back to a press conference held yesterday by District Attorney Larry Krasner. Dom's producer Dan plays back clips centered around the issue of straw purchases, chronologically retelling how the rhetoric was framed throughout the presser. Then, Giordano takes callers, asking for notable duos related by blood, and debates whether the United States should appear at the upcoming Beijing Olympics.

Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by discussing an opinion piece penned by the Inquirer's Editorial Board, in which the group called for organizers to ignore South Philadelphia and Kensington residents and push forward for Safe Injection Sites after NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio pushed through the edict on his way out. Giordano explains his issues with the article, noting how reckless it is, and asks listeners for locations throughout the city that the same ilk would not allow such a site. Then, Giordano and Producer Dan recap yesterday's press conference held by District Attorney Larry Krasner addressing the heightened gun violence, in which he was asked whether or not tourists should be nervous for their safety while holiday shopping.

In today's third hour, Giordano invites Bradley Lanning onto the show, to discuss why he's chosen to primary Representative Brian Fitzpatrick in the first district in the upcoming election. First, Lanning explains the concept and the mission of the America First Party, which has thrown their support behind Lanning. Lanning explains that America First is very self-explanatory, noting that the primary goal is to prioritize the needs of Americans. Giordano asks whether or not this is drawn from stances by the Trump administration, which Lanning affirms, further explaining which policies he'd hope to push for while in office. Lanning also tells why he's running against Fitzpatrick, telling that for far too long, Fitzpatrick, in order to frame himself as a moderate, has voted against conservative causes. Then, Giordano asks about individual issues, gathering Lanning's thoughts on the large infrastructure bill that Fitzpatrick voted for, arguing that while bipartisan is useful, his vote did not make much sense. Then, after playing Dom's movie-themed Money Melody, Giordano welcomes Virginia Jorgensen to the show to discuss a rally today that she organized, focused on the heighted crime on the Temple campus. Jorgensen, who has a daughter at Temple, organized other parents to rally with her to try and bring some sense of safety back to the Temple campus, after another Temple student was murdered on campus last week. Jorgensen explains what the parents have spoken out about, focusing on the Temple and Philadelphia police, which urges Giordano to question why the court system nor Larry Krasner have been considered at fault for the heightened crime. Also, Jorgensen explains what change has already been enacted after working with the TUPD, and tells as a mother whether she's comfortable with her daughter continuing attendance at the University.

Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by discussing the Tweetstorm that he received over the weekend after announcing his 2021 Local Person of the Year, Dr. David Damsker. Dom responds to the online critics, specifically discussing a Tweet sent by a columnist that writes for the same local paper. Giordano then discusses developments centered on Dr. Damsker and Bucks County, telling of an investigation by the Bucks County Courier Times that exposes emails sent by the state toward Bucks County dictating which mandates to enforce. Then, Giordano discusses the emergence of Gardner Minshew after a successful outing as the Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback yesterday. After announcing the side topic centered around Minshew, Dom turns back toward more serious issues, discussing a rally on Temple's campus featuring parents protesting against the lack of safety on campus, after another student was recently murdered. Then, after debating whether chips or pretzels are the better snack food, Giordano moves into a conversation about a potential rebirth of a mandatory draft.

Dom leads off the second hour of today's show by picking up the conversation centered on the push to add women to the military draft. Dom takes callers, including a woman who was a voluntary service member, who asks why this is even a topic of discussion in the political realm. Giordano explains that this is a purely political move, mostly because a mandatory draft is not even on the radar. Then, Giordano welcomes famed Philadelphia sportswriter Ray Didinger to the show. Every week, Didinger joins the Program to run down the most recent Eagles game. This week, Didinger and Giordano recap yesterday's win over the Jets, with the most pressing topic becoming a new QB controversy bubbling after a great outing by backup quarterback Gardner Minshew. Ray offers his thoughts on the controversy, discussing whether Minshew should retain the starting job once Hurts is healthy enough to play in the eyes of the front office. Didinger explains that he thinks the Philadelphia fan base should take a few breaths before charging full bore toward another controversy, after seeing how a similar debate tore apart the Wentz and Foles locker room. Then, Giordano asks about the Eagles receiving options with Dallas Goedert emerging as a true weapon, and Ray and Dom debate whether Hurts could gain anything from Minshew's fruitful appearance.

In today's final hour, Dom Giordano announces his 2021 Local Person of the Year after a week-long event in which he asked for listeners to both nominate and vote on who they believe deserve the title. After tabulating the votes, it was determined that Dr. David Damsker would be awarded the Local Person of the Year, but regrettably due to politics, Dr. Damsker was unable to join the Dom Giordano Program to accept the award. Giordano plays back clips of Dr. Damsker, further explaining reasons behind the nomination and award, and tells how notable the other nominees were, reflecting upon the years of Edward Durr, Steve Keeley, and Clarice Schillinger. Then, after playing his Money Melody for the day, Giordano moves into a discussion about the political scene both nationally and locally, discussing the chances of Dr. Oz in the Senate race and other Republicans who have thrown their hat into the ring.

In today's second hour, Dom Giordano leads off by continuing the conversation from last hour, asking listeners whether or not they believe parents should be charged for the actions of their children after charges were announced for the parents of the perpetrator in a school shooting in Michigan. Callers offer their opinion, including parents who teach firearm safety to their children, and debate with Dom whether parents are at fault for a situation such as the one we saw unfold. Then, Dr. Nicole Saphier of Fox News, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program. First, Dom asks her about her successful book, Panic Attack: Playing Politics with Science in the Fight Against COVID-19, bringing in current events, asking the Doctor how she would deal with Omicron if she were in Dr. Fauci's role. Dr. Saphier tells of her strategy, stressing the importance in transparency and science when announcing and determining solutions for public safety. Then, Giordano and Dr. Saphier get into a conversation discussing whether children should get the vaccination, to which Dr. Saphier offers both the pros and cons of vaccinating children. Then, New Jersey Representative Erik Peterson rejoins the Dom Giordano Program, to discuss his headline-making move yesterday in Trenton. Yesterday, Peterson and other New Jersey Republicans, made a stand against a Democratic policy that requires all in assembly to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test. Republicans in Trenton marched past New Jersey State Troopers who were checking vaccination status, taking their seats on the floor. Peterson explains why the New Jersey GOP decided to take this course of action, and explains the underlying reasoning behind the protest.

Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by revealing details surrounding a shooting on Roosevelt Boulevard, in which a group of assailants opened fire on another car after rear-ending the vehicle. Giordano discusses the climate that has taken over the city, asking listeners how they would respond if they were rear-ended in Philadelphia. Then, Dom reflects on his interview with Dr. Oz, forecasting whether he believes the TV mogul will have a chance in the Pennsylvania Senate race, and reveals that Dr. Oz is a big basketball fan, suggesting that the two should face off in a 1-on-1 basketball game. After that, news breaks surrounding the school shooting in Michigan. Dom plays back a clip of Oakland County, Mi. prosecutor Karen McDonald announcing charges brought on both the shooter and his parents, in which she tells why the parents have been charged with involuntary manslaughter. Dom is in favor of charging parents for the actions of their children, but producer Dan brings a caveat to the table, and listeners chime in.

John McNesby, President of FOP Lodge 5, Philadelphia's police union, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program to update the audience on the status of an off-duty police officer who was shot after honking his horn at a person who had double parked. McNesby tells that the officer was able to heroically drive himself to Temple University hospital, and started providing details of the incident during a time many would be paralyzed by shock. Then, Giordano asks McNesby for his thoughts on the rampant crime in Philadelphia, asking him for his underlying causes behind the situation, which McNesby, similarly to McSwain, chalks up to a lack of accountability wrought on by progressive policies pushed by Mayor Kenney and DA Krasner. Then, Beth Ann Rosica, executive director of Back to School PA, Clarice Schillinger's group, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program for some concerning news out of Montgomery County. Rosica announces that it has come to the group's attention that Montgomery County is teetering on the decision to close in-person education and instead revert to virtual learning due to positive cases in schools. Beth tells Giordano about how the group uncovered this consideration, and explains whether this is a county-wide issue or just one particular school district. Then, Rosica tells what parents could do in an effort to prevent schools from closing up again, calling on parents to contact commissioners and administrators to make it clear that this option should not be considered.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, a long stay in everybody's living rooms, has officially thrown his hat into the ring for the upcoming Senate race for Senator Pat Toomey's vacated seat, and joins the Dom Giordano Program. First, Giordano asks for Dr. Oz's mission statement, wondering why he's chosen to depart from his incredibly successful television career to enter the world of politics. Dr. Oz explains that he's getting involved because we have a country in crisis, and sees deep seated issues particularly with Coronavirus and China. Then, Giordano presses Dr. Oz on the residency issue that's become the number one talking point around Dr. Oz's run, asking him whether he still resides in New Jersey and whether he should be considered eligible for the run. After receiving an explanation, Giordano asks Dr. Oz what he assesses as the number one problems in and around Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, which Dr. Oz explains as the issue of safety, as he sees rampant crime all over the area. Also, Dr. Oz comments on the situation unfolding in school board meetings and clarifies his stance on Critical Race Theory, and tells why issues concerning China are a large portion of his platform. (Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for Time) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Dom Giordano lead off the Dom Giordano program by first previewing tonight's special centered around his nominees for Local Person of the Year, then quickly shifts into a conversation about the high crime in and around Philadelphia. First, Dom reveals developing details around the murder of another Temple student, a topic that took over much of yesterday's show, telling that the alleged perpetrator has turned himself in. Giordano plays back clips from Mayor Kenney, who blamed the rising violence after the shooting of an off-duty officer on gun shows such as the monthly event over in Oaks, PA. Then, Bill McSwain, former United States attorney and Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program for a wide-ranging conversation covering multiple topics. First, Giordano asks McSwain for his thoughts on Mayor Kenney's new angle in pushing back against the rampant crime, blaming gun shows and asking for federal help in controlling guns, rather than looking within at the policies enacted by his administration. McSwain takes us inside what it was like working with the Kenney administration, and tells that accountability and deterrence are the two biggest issues the city faces concerning crime, an attitude which was brought forth by Kenney and District Attorney Krasner policies. Then, McSwain and Giordano pontificate why the mainstream media within Philadelphia refuse to hold Krasner accountable for what's lead to the climate in the city. Then, Giordano switches over to state-wide issues, discussing planned raises given to state lawmakers which McSwain is against, and the issue of energy production in the state of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Marty Makary, a trailblazer on all things Coronavirus, joins Dom Giordano to lead off the third hour of the Dom Giordano Program. First, Giordano asks Dr. Makary for his thoughts on Dr. Anthony Fauci's comments over the weekend, in which proclaimed, “I am science.” Makary tells why uttering such a phrase is detrimental to the cause, and offers evidence that Dr. Fauci is not “science,” but instead a scientific mind that also has faults. Makary offers his thoughts about the new variant, Omicron, that first showed in South Africa, explaining that it's incredibly contagious but thankfully, it's currently only showing mild symptoms. Then, Giordano asks Makary for an update on natural and herd immunity, a portion of the pandemic that seems to have fallen out of the debate, asking whether we will or have reached what was initially the end goal for the pandemic. Then, after Dom offers his Money Melody for the day, he moves back into the national sphere of politics, playing back Jim Cramer on his CNBC show suggesting that the military should take over and run a national vaccine mandate. Dom explains why this is such a radical and ridiculous suggestion, asking whether people like Cramer recognize that they are welcoming in authoritarianism. Also, Giordano reveals a statement released by District Attorney Krasner regarding the Temple murder, and discusses with listeners potential replaces for Brian Fitzpatrick.

Cipriano uncovered that the alleged assailant, Latif Williams, was a repeat offender, last arrested on August 14th and charged with 8 crimes. In his BigTrial.net piece, Cipriano writes that, after having his bail reduced, DA Larry Krasner filed no appeal, essentially allowing Williams to become a free man and granting him the ability to commit this murder. Ralph and Dom discuss the underlying causes of the rise in violence, and reason how we as a city can pull ourselves out of the situation in which we currently find ourselves.

Today, Dom Giordano leads off the Dom Show by discussing revelations surrounding the suspect in the murder of a 21-year old Temple University student over the long holiday weekend. According to Ralph Cipriano of BigTrial.net, suspect Latif Williams was arrested on August 14th and charged with 8 crimes. Allegedly, after having bail set at $200,000, a municipal court judge lowered the bail for Williams to an unsecured $200,000, meaning that the culprit would not have to pay to stay out of jail. DA Larry Krasner filed no appeal, and because of this, Williams was a free man able to commit such a heinous crime. Giordano ties it to other crimes in Philadelphia, and notes that this is just one example of the horrible policies of the Krasner administration biting the citizens of Philadelphia again. Then, Giordano brings the discussion to a national scope, discussing the potential nominees for a presidential run in 2024 after Vice President Harris and President Biden's approval rating continue to plummet. Then, Giordano returns to the local stage to discuss the recent voting history of Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, which Dom has taken umbrage with, particularly his vote in favor of the ‘bipartisan' infrastructure bill, and tells of Bradley Lanning, an entrant into the congressional race as a Republican opponent to Fitzpatrick.

Then, Giordano plays back clips from Anthony Fauci over the weekend, who laughed when pressed on investigations concerning the origin of the virus. Then, Tony Kinnett returns to the Dom Giordano Program.

Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. This week, Dom is first joined by Broad+Liberty reporter Todd Shepherd, to discuss a fantastic investigation into the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program in the Bensalem school district.

Then, after Councilman Oh, Giordano opens up the discussion a bit, asking why those on the Left continue to turn a blind eye to hate crimes against Asians.

Today, Dom Giordano led off the Dom Giordano program by introducing what's to come on today's show and recapping what we've learned from the Rittenhouse trial since yesterday's show. Giordano tells his thoughts of the prosecution and previews what could become of the trial, and contemplates whether it is necessary to involve race in the situation. Then, Giordano switches to a local story, discussing an article in the Inquirer that focuses on the Penn basketball team's decision to sit during the national anthem to draw attention to inequities. Giordano explains why he takes umbrage with the actions of the basketball team, telling of a column penned by an assistant coach that blames police for situations such as the killing of Walter Wallace, in which Dom argues could've been prevented if police hands weren't tied. Then, Kevin Mooney, senior investigative reporter with the Commonwealth Foundation, joins the Dom Giordano Program after penning a piece for the Delaware Valley Journal concerning Gov. Wolf's masking mandates. After filing right-to-know requests, Mooney discovered how the administration had coerced local county-level health departments. After shining a microscope on Bucks County masking edicts, Mooney explains that Acting Secretary of Health Allison Beam wrote a label targeting edicts set forth by Bucks Health Director Dr. David Damsker, who approached the virus in a way that unintentionally pushed back against overbearing edicts set forth by the State. Mooney explains the importance of this story, and explains why the court's decision to strike down the mandate is further evidence for the unsettling nature of the discovery.

NJ State Senator Joe Pennacchio joins the Dom Giodano Program to lead off today's third hour, to discuss a bill he has penned that would effectively ban critical race theory in the state of New Jersey. First, Giordano and Pennacchio discuss the concept of critical race theory and the effort to rewrite the narrative of our history, with Pennacchio explaining some of the objectively racist themes within the curricula. Then, Pennacchio updates Giordano on another bill previously discussed on the show, being Pennacchio's push for the legitimacy of other Coronavirus solutions, such as Ivermectin. Then, Anita Edgarian, an Iranian immigrant and mother of three, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program after running for school board in her West Chester school district.

In the incident, school board President Chris McCune left his seat on the stage and forcibly removed Anita's microphone after she called him out for his support of anti-racist teachings. Because of this, Edgarian ran for school board, and while she did not win her election, she did accomplish her ultimate goal, and Chris McCune lost his seat on the school board. Edgarian tells us why she decided to run for school board, and tells whether there has been any movement against critical race theory in her school district.

Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by discussing a situation that is already starting to rear its ugly head again, that being the issue of black ice on Roosevelt Boulevard. 6ABC reported that yesterday, due to icy conditions, 15 to 20 vehicles crashed on the main thoroughfare.
