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.
