Who Lived Up To Their Hype?
Today, Dom Giordano led off the Dom Giordano Program by giving updates around Krasnerland, the name he’s given the new crime ridden Philadelphia. Then, Giordano offers his thoughts on a situation that went viral yesterday, in which President Biden called Fox News reporter Steve Doocy a stupid S.O.B. Then, Giordano tells about Gregory Manco, a professor at St. Joes who was fired for Twitter posts deemed ‘racist’ by students, previewing that an investigative reporter will be joining at 12:30 to lay out the story in full. Then, Giordano has some fun with his side question of the day, asking listeners for what or who lived up to the hype.
After that, Todd Shepherd, investigative journalist for Broad and Liberty, joins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss the story centered on Gregory Manco, a professor who was released from St. Joes after allegedly racist social media posts. First, Shepherd reveals details he’s unearthed about the accuser who first brought the anonymous tweets to university officials, explaining that there looks to be a long-term grudge held against the professor by the student whistleblower due to a bad grade that the student received. In the Broad and Liberty story, Shepherd revealed that Manco has now filed a federal lawsuit against the university and the former student over free speech, alleging defamation, civil conspiracy, and other charges.
Shepherd tells what he believes is at stake in the lawsuit, and tells what will have to happen for Gregory Manco to win the lawsuit.
The Rollercoaster Economy and SCOTUS Hears Asian-American Discrimination Suit
To lead off the second hour, FreedomWorks Chief Economist Stephen Moore rejoins the Dom Giordano Program for an in-depth analysis of the rollercoaster ride we have seen in the stock market the past two days. First, Giordano asks whether or not this is the end of the 10-year stock market surge we’ve seen, with Moore explaining that while he would be cautious, he does not think this would be the end. In addition, Giordano and Moore discuss Biden’s effort to become the next LBJ and the result that his policies have had on inflation, and the damage that the Build Back Better bill would inflict on Americans.
Then, Giordano welcomes back Wen Fa, an attorney with Pacific Legal Foundation and an expert on the discrimination that Asian-Americans face in the university admissions process, to discuss the Supreme Court cases involving Harvard and UNC determining whether or not the process is unfair. First, Giordano asks for some clarification on terms used in the lawsuit and reporting that aren’t in the common lexicon, asking about the term ‘decile’ and how it applies to the lawsuit. Wen provides a contextual history to the lawsuit, telling of past Supreme Court decisions concerning affirmative action, which is largely at stake in the argument.
Philly Graffiti Artists Embarrass Themselves on Local TV
In today’s third hour, Dom leads off by circling back to the issue of crime, playing back a report from 6ABC concerning the rampant graffiti problem in Philadelphia. Giordano and Dan go back and forth over the topic, with Dom commenting on the justification by the graffiti artist interviewed, who noted that the art is a ‘release of emotion’. In addition, Giordano discusses the Biden administration stance on crime after an exchange between Fox News reporter Steve Doocy and Jenn Psaki, and revisits the topic of the transgendered Penn swimmer.
