Phil Murphy Calls Out Ron DeSantis Over AP Course
Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by discussing shots fired by Phil Murphy toward Ron DeSantis after the New Jersey Governor announced and touted an AP course expansion after DeSantis banned an AP African-American studies course that utilizes Critical Race Theory and other controversial re-writings of history. Then, Dom plays back some commentary from CNN's Jake Tapper, who discussed with Bob Costas whether race was weighing into Eric Bieniemy's inability to find a job in the NFL, offering commentary of his own, explaining why he actually agrees that there is a systemic issue at play here.
Then, Dom welcomes Bill Donohue, President of the Catholic League, to discuss the intersection between religion and politics, particularly in light of the coming departure of Senator Dianne Feinstein. First, Dom flashes back to a hearing for Amy Coney Barrett in which Feinstein used 'the dogma living within' Barrett as a net negative while vying for a position as a judge. This causes a conversation about the Democratic version of Catholicism and religion, with Donohue pointing to the hypocrisies between Democratic stances on particular issues and their faith.
Biden Administration Hypocrisy on Full Display after East Palestine Crash
In today's second hour, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by discussing the environmental disaster in East Palestine, OH, playing back a clip from John Stewart who argued that those on the Right making an issue over this are 'phony' and that they're playing an act of 'concern for working people.' Dom takes issue with this, pointing out both hypocrisies in Stewart's commentary and the Democratic non-response to what should be their top priority. Then, Dom tells of a letter written by school board members across Pennsylvania condemning alleged anti-LGBT actions by the Central Bucks School District, taking the side of the Bucks County board members by playing back some questionable LGBT+ teachings to 4 and 5 year olds.
No, You Can't Call Clarence Thomas an 'Uncle Tom' Because He's Conservative
In today's third hour, Dom leads off by telling of the news of a coming statue of Clarence Thomas that will be built in Georgia, playing back a clip from a Georgia State Senator who called the Supreme Court Justice an 'Uncle Tom,' which leads Dom into a discussion about the double standard on race, particularly when used by Democrats as an attack. This leads Dom into a discussion about racial teachings in the country, playing back a clip from a Bishop with Don Lemon who suggested that we need to make white students feel uncomfortable for them to join the fight for equity.
Then, Dom welcomes Nick Sortor, host of the Roundup, a Twitter Spaces Show found @NickSortor on Twitter, to the Dom Giordano Program to take listeners live to the scene in East Palestine, Ohio as the incompetent federal government responds to a train derailment and controlled explosion that has released toxic chemicals both into the air and the water. Sortor updates the situation, telling of recent announcements by state officials warning residents to use bottled water instead of tap water due to the catastrophe, which counters previous announcements that things were safe, further drilling distrust into citizens. Also, Sortor tells about the 'canary in the coalmines' of the event, local animals, explaining that he met with a person who rehabilitates foxes who has seen their animals fall sick, one dying, within the past week. In addition, Sortor offers his opinion on the media coverage, and tells why and how the EPA and federal government could be doing more to assist in recovery.
