Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by first offering thoughts on the continued back and forth over a potential debate, telling that Bill O’Reilly will be joining today at 12:30 to offer his analysis on Trump’s decision to accept. Then, Dom tells about a condemnation by the NFL of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker over faith-based comments he made in a commencement speaker, expressing his frustration at the double standard after years of political comments made by progressive-leaning players.
Then, Dom welcomes in Criminal Minds actor Joe Mantegna, who has some great news about this year’s 35th Anniversary Broadcast of PBS’ National Memorial Day Concert, live from the U.S. Capitol on May 24th at 8:00PM ET. Mantegna tells all about the event, explaining why Breaking Bad actor Bryan Cranston has signed on for a World War II memorial. Also, Mantegna discusses his deep ties to the military, telling a story of the time he tried joining the Marines as a pilot during Vietnam.
After that, Dom welcomes famed political commentator Bill O’Reilly back onto the Dom Giordano Program to hear his analysis of Trump’s decision to accept a challenge of two debates by President Joe Biden ahead of the upcoming 2024 election. O’Reilly explains that, while he’s looking forward to the debates, he thinks Trump should’ve pushed for more negotiation, particularly over the moderators and networks in which the debate will appear. O’Reilly sets his sights on CNN’s Jake Tapper, one of the expected moderators, reading back a direct quote from the CNN host that compares Trump to Adolph Hitler, pointing to the extreme bias that he would bring as moderator to a debate. Then, O’Reilly tells what conditions he thinks Trump should’ve asked for, and reflects upon times that he hosted debates in his past. (Photo by Jason Hanna/Getty Images)
