Full Hour | Today, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by offering his thoughts on what unfolded late Friday night as Congress determined their new Speaker of the House, revealing what the Freedom Caucus received in the form of concessions for eventually voting ‘present’ rather than against McCarthy. Giordano notes that he believes they made some great gains here, right down to the wire, particularly centered on an investigation into Federal law enforcement agencies such as the FBI and the CIA. Then, Dom brings back a topic that’s personally affecting him from last week, providing the next chapter in the saga against bike lanes after his parking spot was randomly changed into a protected bike lane.
Then, Dom welcomes Congressman Jim Jordan back onto the Dom Giordano Program after a contentious week on the House Floor as Representatives decided their choice for next Speaker of the House. After a back and forth between Republicans and the new ‘Freedom Caucus,’ lawmakers decided to vote Kevin McCarthy into the role. First, Dom asks Jordan about the dustup that occurred just prior to the confirmation vote, with Jordan condemning it but saying that sometimes, the instrumentations of Democracy are messy. Then, Giordano asks Jordan about the repeated nominations that he received to become the next speaker, with Jordan telling why he was against the notion, instead expressing the importance of his role on the House Judiciary Committee and the threat that hyper-progressive policies pose to the Country. Then, Giordano and Jordan move into a conversation centered on what we as voters can expect from the House Judiciary Committee, with Jordan telling of the critical nature of investigating and holding the FBI accountable.
