Full Hour | Today, Matt Rooney led off the Dom Giordano Program by telling why he’d love to be in Italy right now, telling why he’s jealous of the great Dom’s amazing trip to Italy. Then, after offering some advice on international cuisine, Rooney delves into the topics of the day, telling of his frustration with the media’s rush to try and politicize another disaster, telling how the Left has framed Hurrican Idalia as the newest example of extraordinary weather caused by climate change.

Then, Matt Rooney welcomes Dr. Johnathan Lesser onto the Dom Giordano Program, adjunct fellow at the Manhattan Institute, to discuss the media’s quick rush to turn Hurricane Idalia into another warning of horrific weather caused by climate change. Lesser, who has more than 30 years working in the energy industry, tells why the issue of climate change is largely overblown by the Left for political and economic purposes, explaining why he sees it as a reality but argues the impact that humans, particularly Americans, have on a clean environment.
