Horrific Crimes Playing Out On SEPTA, Is Anybody Watching The Cameras? - a podcast by Radio.com

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by discussing a couple horrible incidents that unfolded over the weekend on SEPTA, Philadelphia’s public transportation system, telling of an alleged rape and stabbing. Giordano is obviously upset with this horrific news, and plays back a clip from SEPTA’s Chief of Police Thomas Nestel when he last joined the show, in which the Chief tells that the system has over 28,000 cameras, but many are only used for archival footage and aren’t monitored live. Giordano gets annoyed with this fact, and asks whether live monitoring would help the situation playing out on the trains and busses. Then, Giordano offers his thoughts on the Texas National Guardsman who lost his life while trying to save illegal immigrants crossing the Rio Grande, and tells about an invite he received to Mar-a-Lago to the premiere of Dinesh D’Souza’s new documentary 2000 Mules, that focuses on questionable actions in the 2020 actions centered around mail-in ballots.

Then David Zweig, author of the forthcoming An Abundance of Caution and columnist for The Atlantic, WIRED, and New York Magazine, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program. Dom invited Zweig onto the show after seeing a Tweet by the author about masking in colleges, noting that colleges have returned to the practice and even some returning to remote learning because a ‘rise in cases.‘ Zweig tells about the alleged uptick in cases, noting how insignificant the spike is that triggered many colleges to return to the mandates. Then, Giordano and Zweig discuss the triggering mechanism that determines masking mandates, relating it back to Philadelphia’s decision to announce a mandate city-wide, only to reverse course less than a week later.
