Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards.
First, Dom welcomes Dan Senor, author of the new The Genius of Israel: The Surprising Resilience of a Divided Nation in a Turbulent World, on to discuss the continued conflict on the Gaza strip between Israel and Hamas. First, Senor contextualizes his career, telling of his time spent serving as a security advisor during the Bush administration. Then, Senor contextualizes the situation, with Giordano asking for Senor to lay out Israel’s history and what led to the horrific attack by Hamas on October 7th. Then Senor tells why he believes so many have stood behind Palestine, enabling the actions of Hamas, with Senor laying out the desire to ‘feel necessary,’ with young people feeling the need to support something, albeit misguidedly.
Then, Dom welcomes back to the show Steve Feldman, the Executive Director of Greater Philadelphia’s Zionist Organization of America, to hear how the war in Gaza has effected both international and local affairs. First, Dom and Feldman discuss the revelation that CNN and AP News embedded reporters with Hamas, which causes Feldman to speak out about the way that the media has covered the conflict, pointing out multiple example of anti-Israel bias. Then, Feldman offers his thoughts on the IDF’s film ‘Bearing Witness,’ which is being shown in private showings to media influencers, with both Feldman and Giordano debating whether the video should be given a public release.
