Full Hour | In today’s second hour, Giordano welcomes Beth Ann Rossica, head of Back to School PA, back onto the Dom Giordano Program for an update on masking throughout the country as schools prepare for students to return to classrooms. First, Giordano asks for a general temperature of masking, with Beth Ann Rossica explaining that most schools have not required masks to return to schools, pointing to the Philadelphia School District as an anomaly for requiring students to mask up. Giordano asks what the Philadelphia Superintendent uses to justify the mask requirement, pointing to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Coronavirus guidelines that run counter to the proposition. Rossica explains the negative implications of requiring students in Philadelphia to wear masks, and discusses the lack of logic in the requirement with the knowledge that students will be unmasked in public, on public transportation, and in their personal lives.

Then, Dom moves back into a conversation centered on the Senate race between Dr. Mehmet Oz and John Fetterman. First, Giordano offers a recap of Fetterman’s health after his first rally following a stroke, admitting that the candidate seemed much healthier than he would have expected. Then, Giordano discusses the number one claim against Dr. Oz by Fetterman, being his residency, explaining why he doesn’t feel it should hold as much weight as Fetterman is trying to portray. Then, Giordano reveals that New Jersey has adjusted their Coronavirus suggestions, no longer requiring unvaccinated teachers to take regular tests, further pushing society toward normalcy. Dom, though, compares this to Philadelphia’s masking edicts, asking for any sort of justification that points to another mandate being acceptable. (Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images)
