Dom welcomes Pennsylvania State Rep. Martina White back onto the Dom Giordano Program to hear what Harrisburg Republicans are doing to help private schools who are suffering through sluggish bureaucracy as they wait for textbooks. Rep. White takes us inside the issue, telling about the budget allotment that was earmarked for private and charter schools, and the continued lack of urgency in getting these schools the supplies they need. Also, Martina White responds to Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, who called state lawmakers ‘backwards’ because of their take on gun laws. (Photo by Getty Images)

Dom welcomes in Kelly Ciminera, Principal of the Colman-John Neumann School in Bryn Mawr, PA, to discuss an issue that she and other private schools are having in receiving promised text books from Pennsylvania’s Department of Education. First, Ciminera takes us through the process of ordering the text books from the State and the allotment in the most recently approved budget, telling that she ordered the books back in July but has been told that there’s a backlog in the system and not enough workers to process the orders. Then, Giordano asks how the school has gotten through teaching without textbooks, with Ciminera telling creative ways that teachers have continued to teach the necessary material.

Then, Giordano tells of a story in the Philadelphia Inquirer that reports on the spike of retail theft in the City of Philadelphia, noting that we’re even worse than California for shoplifting. Dom offers the stats as according the Inquirer, and breaks down their justifications for the spike, and tell why he believes District Attorney Larry Krasner’s policies weigh heavily into the spike.

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off by carrying a thread he began yesterday on the Dom Giordano Program, providing an update on a situation playing out in Harrisburg centered in education. Yesterday, Dom learned that Catholic Schools and other private educational institutions have returned to school but have yet to receive their text books promised to them by the State in the most recent budget. Harrisburg Republicans have now gotten involved, with State Rep. Martina White and others alleging that this is a push against Catholic schools and school choice. Giordano ties this back to the ongoing senate and gubernatorial races playing out in Philadelphia, discussing the incompetence of current elected officials such as Attorney General Josh Shapiro and Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman. Then, Giordano plays back clips from John Fetterman’s interview this week on MSNBC, particularly focusing on Fetterman’s justification for denying debate offers from Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz.

Then, Dr. Marty Makary, Johns Hopkins Professor and author of The Price We Pay: What Broke American Healthcare and How To Fix It, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss multiple issues playing out in the world of medicine. First, Giordano asks Makary about a tweet he made about a new vaccine for the Omicron variant, in which the doctor revealed that the drug company behind the push approved this only after a test on 8 mice, telling that there is no publicly available human clinical data. Then, Giordano and Makary discuss another decrease in life expectancy for Americans, with Makary offering legitimate reasons for the decrease, relating it to both Coronavirus and obesity.
