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. First, Dom welcomes in State Representative Donna Scheuren after news this week that her bill to protect homeowners has been largely squashed by Democrats, who want to prioritize squatters over homeowners. Also, Scheuren delves into the passing of the new budget in which Republicans had to regrettably make some concessions concerning school choice, with Scheuren highlighting some of the things that she and other conservatives were able to get into the bill, including a huge advancement for armed security in Pennsylvania schools. Then, Dom welcomes in Officer Mark Dallas, a retired school resource officer from out in Dixon, Illinois, who thwarted a school shooting at a graduation rehearsal a couple years back by shooting and wounding the assailant. Dallas was invited on the show after a new budget was passed within the past few weeks in Pennsylvania that suggests all school districts employ an armed security guard. Dallas takes us through the sad day, and explains why his presence saved many lives, telling how he hopes to help to train incoming resource officers.

This week, in a very special edition of Readin' Writin' and Reason, Dom offers up a focus on the historical events of last weekend, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life. First, Dom welcomes in Combat Veteran Captain Sean Parnell, Trump advisor and host of BattleGround on Rumble, on to hear his first-hand account of hear the bullet crack over his head as he watched Trump get shot on Saturday. Parnell provides an incredibly candid first-hand account of the events as they unfolded, telling how close he was to being struck, and offering his military expertise on the ultimate failings of the Secret Service. Also, Parnell offers his role as a first-hand witness to address questions that have been raised by conspiracy theorists online. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) Then, Dom welcomes former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, author of Courage Under Fire: Under Siege and Outnumbered 58 to 1 on January 6th. Sund wears his hat as somebody who worked in conjunction with the Secret Service on a daily basis to break down the decisions made by the Secret Service and leader Kimberly Cheatle that led to the unsafe environment. Also, Sund tells what should have been done, and tells why he thinks this should be treated with the same vigor as investigations into January 6th.  Finally, Dom welcomes Colonel Allen B. West in to gather his thoughts, as a lauded military expert, on the failings of the United States Secret Service during the attempt on Donald Trump's life. First, West offers his analysis on the decision to not place a sniper on the roof that the assassin used, telling that there's absolutely no reason for there not to be somebody posted there with the direct line of sight to Trump. Then, West wears his hat as a former Congressman, offering why he doesn't think there's a planned conspiracy here, but rather an abject failure by the Secret Service. Finally, West, who's faced unfair criticism for comments taken out of context in the past, offers his thoughts on the refusal for the media to hold themselves accountable for their inflammatory rhetoric in the past.

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. First, Dom welcomes in Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters back onto the podcast after he's been criticized by Leftist media for calling for bible-friendly education in Oklahoma and in schools nationwide. Walters has been quoted as saying that every classrooms should contain a bible, so it can be taught in historical context. Walters notes that there are certain parts of American history that is intertwined with the bible, pointing toward the Mayflower Compact, the Puritans, and the Quakers as multiple instances of history in which contextualizing the bible is important. Walters proposes this as a pushback against efforts to remove the bible from curriculum, expressing the importance in letting children know how faith led to some of America's greatest accomplishments and innovations.  Then, Dom welcomes Pennsylvania State Representative Martina White onto the podcast, who's dialing from Harrisburg after stepping out of session determining the upcoming budget. Dom asks Martina about the back-and-forth in the Capitol, particularly focusing on school choice, something that Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro used to win, since turning 180 and abandoning his stance on the issue. White explains whether school choice will ever become a reality in Pennsylvania, and separately offers her thoughts on the continued reign of District Attorney Larry Krasner here in Philadelphia. 

 In this episode, Holly Tinsley and Alex Bradshaw discuss their new podcast and their mission to spotlight underappreciated projects, books, TV shows, and YouTubers. They share their experiences with Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) and recommend beginner-friendly resources. The conversation also covers their upcoming writing and book event, which will feature panels on magic systems, litRPG, and discovering new books. Holly and Alex offer advice to aspiring writers, discuss different writing methods, and outline sponsorship opportunities for their event.

Full Hour | 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. First, Dom welcomes in Ocean City Councilman-Elect Keith Hartzell, who has a lot to say after a stabbing on Memorial Day weekend on their world famous boardwalk.  Hartzell, who joined frequently last summer speaking out against a new edict set forth by the Murphy administration, once again explains how local police hands are tied in dealing with juveniles after the statewide edict disallowing police to address teen usage of marijuana or alcohol. Councilman Hartzell explains how this has all unfolded, explaining why not only Ocean City, but Wildwood and Atlantic City are also seeing explosions of teens on the boardwalk engaging in violent behavior, and how local leaders are working together to take on the State in hopes to change the trend. Then, Dom welcomes Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr. on to discuss the wave of violence that shore towns saw this Memorial Day weekend, a preview of what may be a regularity throughout this summer season. Yesterday, after needing to issue a State of Emergency over the weekend, Ernie put out a news release that called attention to an edict set forth statewide by Governor Phil Murphy that largely ties the hands of police when dealing with juveniles on the boardwalk imbibing in marijuana and alcohol use. Mayor Troiano joins to delve into the situation, explaining what he hopes will be done to allow his law enforcement officers to keep these teen mobs from developing. Finally, Dom welcomes in Sea Isle City Mayor and Cape May County Commissioner Lenny Desiderio on to hear what can be done to control the situation in our shore towns after teenagers caused havoc in Wildwood, Ocean City, and other shore towns over Memorial Day weekend. Desiderio reveals that he has joined with multiple other Mayors to meet and determine how they can return power to their police officers, who've largely had their hands tied in dealing with juveniles after edicts set forth by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy in a reactionary move to the heightened awareness of social justice in the summer of 2020.

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. First ,Dom welcomes in Monique Hofkin, a member of the Central Bucks School District, on to discuss a complaint she filed for multiple anonymous parents with the U.S. Department of Education over a Spanish teacher for Central Bucks West who head's their Muslim Student Association. Hofkin tells us what concerned the parents, offering glimpses onto the teacher's social media postings which call, among other things, the death of Jews.  Then, Dom continues by welcoming Guy Ciarrocchi back on to discuss a piece he penned for Broad and Liberty concerning the teacher's union stranglehold on the debate over school choice. Giordano notes the thirst from voters on both sides of the aisle for the allowance to choose where to school their children, with Ciarrocchi explaining why Democratic politicians, even ones who campaign on school choice such as Josh Shapiro, never follow through on their promises.

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 welcomes Stephanie, a parent in the North Penn School District, who led a protest last week after a horrific incident played out in her child's school Pennbrook Middle School, back onto the podcast to offer updates on the story after last night's meeting on safety in the school district. Dom first reminds listeners of the story, telling of a terribly violent attack with a Stanley steel mug on a 12-year-old by a 13-year-old who has had a violent past. It came out with the incident that faculty were warned of an impending attack, with allegations that the warnings were ignored due to the gender identity of the assailant. After hanging up with Stephanie, Dom takes a call from Vince Altieri, another father in the North Penn school district, who penned an article for North Penn Now about the horrific attack in the district. Vince explains why he's called for changes to administration, noting a continued trend of politics prioritized over other issues in the district, here being the safety of students.

First, Dom welcomes in Stephanie, a parent of a 7th grader at Pennbrook Middle School, onto the podcast to discuss why she and other parents were out protesting the North Penn School District for answers concerning a brutal lunchroom attack on a 12-year-old. Stephanie takes us inside the situation, telling of the horrific incident that he daughter now has nightmares about featuring a 13-year old student bloodying another with a Stanley steel mug in an attack that could've potentially been prevented had school leadership heeded the warnings of students. Next, Dom welcomes Washington Examiner reporter Chris Tremoglie back on for some updates on the shocking controversy. Tremoglie tells of a new injunction released by the judge that demands media not reveal details about the assailant, an odd move as the standard for reporting minors is to not reveal any personal or identifying information. Finally, Dom welcomes Camden County Commissioner Jeffrey L. Nash onto the podcast to discuss why he chose to speak out when he heard of a Voorhees School District-supported pro-Palestine protest that he considers anti-Semitic. Giordano, while he agrees, takes the stance of devil's advocate in asking Nash to justify why this is not solely an expression of the First Amendment. Nash tells of the hateful rhetoric in these anti-Israel protests, noting the way Jewish students feel when seeing other students express such a stance.

Then, Dom welcomes in Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, who was part of an all-day symposium with Heritage discussing how the American government is using the different levers that they have to undermine our country and Democracy. Justice notes the importance that schools hold in the Left's strategy to indoctrinate our future generations, telling what her organization continues to do to push back against the effort. Then, Tiffany Justice provides an update on her school board members throughout the nation, telling of an FBI investigation into a member who spoke out against the weaponization of the federal government.

Gaines explains her pride in seeing her fellow women's athletes succeed, telling of some record-setting numbers set last year in the world of women's volleyball. Then, Riley, after rising to fame after competing against Trans UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas, discusses the new threats levied toward women's sports and Title IX. Also, Riley tells about her upcoming book Swimming Against the Current, which releases in late May. Then, Dom continues the Dom Giordano Program by welcoming in Nicole Neily, President and Founder of Parents Defending Education, to discuss a curriculum being funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation called ‘A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction,' which seeks to ‘dismantle racism in mathematics instruction.' Neily explains the issues with this form of curriculum, telling of the negative impacts of DEI and Critical Race Theory-driven educational topics. Also, Neily discusses whether Ivy League schools still hold their prestige only a week after acceptance letters were sent to prospective students.

First, Dom welcomes in Kate Gorka onto the podcast to discuss her new book NextGen Marxism, which tells of the evolved version of Marxism that we see employed by the far Left, and how it differs from traditional Marxism. In the book, Gorka and her co-author Mike Gonzalez write of the new-age Marxism that was ‘shaped by European intellectuals adapted and refined by America's student radicals of the 1960s, and diffused throughout the culture as those student radicals became professors, community organizers, and leaders.' Gorka tells how this has effected not only the United States but all of Western Civilization, telling the importance of recognizing the spread in combating the ideology. Also, Dom asks Gorka about comments made by Joe Rogan, who today mentioned that Israel is performing genocide on Gaza after Edward Snowden released video of drone bombings of allegedly unarmed citizens.  Then, Dom welcomes Pennsylvania State Representative Joe D'Orsie back onto the podcast to discuss a bill considered controversial by legacy media that he co-sponsored. HR2155, which was introduced Monday as part of a package of legislation designed to protect teachers, has come under fire due to the bills protections for teachers who refuse to use students' pronouns. D'Orsie rejects the reporting around the bill, stressing that this bill is not targeting or being malicious toward LGBT students, but protecting teacher's right to free speech.

Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China, The Great US-China Tech War, and the just-released China is Going to War, back onto the podcast to discuss the governmental push to control TikTok. Chang provides a deep dive into the controversial social media app, telling of the nefarious ways that the Chinese Communist government uses the technology to subvert American and Western culture. Then, Dom welcomes in 1210WPHT's Sunday night host and head of SaveJersey.com Matt Rooney back onto the podcast to discuss a report by the New Jersey government into the effects of Coronavirus on the learning of schoolchildren. In the extensive report, much of what conservatives claimed have come true, with notable losses in learning for students who were forced to stay home. Then, Rooney tells us about the New Jersey Senate race, telling that SaveJersey.com will be hosting a Republican debate, running through which Senate candidates he believes have the best shot to become the first Republican NJ Senator elected since prior to Watergate.

She details how skewed the selection in the library are towards progressive views and how there's near-zero amount of conservative literature. Is it more of a librarian issue or a school board one? Beth Ann purposely left out any Trump related reading materials in her studies, knowing how many people feel about him living in a swing state, yet the stats for conservatives continue to skew low. Take a listen!

This week, Dom welcomes in Wally Zimolong, attorney working as co-counsel with America First Legal (AFL), to the podcast after he recently won a case for a client who was suspended from a school campus after quoting from the Bible publicly. Zimolong tells the story of Kombe Sefelino, a student on the campus of the County College of Morris, who refused to self-censor himself after pushback while reading and preaching straight from the bible, making references that were considered anti-LGBT. Zimolong clarifies our free speech laws, explaining what the client received in a stipulated order, warning of the implications of allowing this form of trouncing of the First Amendment.

First, Dom welcomes in James Fishback, founder of Incubate Debate, America's fastest-growing debate league, onto the podcast after he penned a piece for The Free Press that investigates claims by the Left that progressive books are being censored in public schools. Fishback reveals that, through his extensive research, the opposite is true, finding that many public and school libraries have kept books written by conservative authors out of their selections. Then, Dom welcomes in Dave Brown, a longtime high school coach of many sports out in Oregon, who announced last week that he'd resign due to his refusal to support biologically male students competing with biologically female athletes. Brown explains his decision, noting that his wife also retired due to the same principle, telling of the negative implications that this social push has had on Title IX and women and girls playing sports.

First, Dom welcomes back former Penn State Abington professor Zack DePiero, who joined us previously after he was terminated after expressing concerns about Critical Race Theory workshops professors were forced to take, which he argued were divisive and prejudiced. This week, an Obama-appointed judge ruled after the professor filed a lawsuit against the University over his treatment. DePiero takes us through the training they tried forcing upon him, and offers how he hopes this ruling shifts the narrative on the topic.  Then, Dom welcomes in Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, fresh off an appearance jousting with Joy Reid on MSNBC. On Joy's show, Justice read back passages of books that the organization has attempted to remove from libraries, with Joy pushing back, even though the material is clearly far too explicit for children. Justice takes us inside the booking on the show, telling that she was initially to debate Randi Weingarten, with Reid taking the mantle after the Teacher Union head withdrew. Justice delves in-depth into what's being shown in schools, telling why parents are up in arms over material that far exceeds what's appropriate for children.

First, Dom welcomes in Riley Gaines, women's rights activist, back onto Readin', Writin' and Reason. Gaines has joined us on multiple occasions after she made headline news after facing off against transgendered swimmer Lia Thomas in the NCAA women's swimming championships. Since then, Gaines has been a strong proponent in speaking out against the infusion of Trans individuals in women's sports, pointing out the unfairness in allowing this. Riley updates us, telling what she's been up to, and takes us inside her fight to protect children, speaking in favor of the attempt by Ohio Republicans to ban gender transitions for minors. Also, Gaines offers his opinion on the decision by USA Boxing to allow males compete against females in the ring. Then, Dom welcomes in Steve Famiano, Vice President of the California Youth Football Alliance, after he and other youth football coaches secured a big win with Gov. Newsom's veto of a progressive bill that would ban tackle football for kids under 12 years old. First, Dom asks Famiano for the benefits that tackle football offers to children of this young age, with Famiano listing multiple positive influences in youth football.
