Watching the news conference this morning, I mean, you couldn't just have one signer. They had to tag another guy, and the signer got tired. They tagged in a man bun guy in LA. And seeing these people all on the stage, don't you think the fire chief after she makes her statement ought to be out in the field, rallying people, rallying the troops, getting the best sense of it? No! She knows she's DEI. She knows the whole operation is DEI. Why do anything like that? Stand there and pontificate. Look worried. Tell people we're getting more resources to do what with them. Alright, so I am glad and no one in the media should be able to corral people from pushing back to say no. Now is the time to call this for what it is. Progressiveism in action. Many times the stuff we talk about with progressives is silly, annoying. But always lurking there is they will get you killed. They will get you destroyed at so many different levels. YouTube alert, one I'll play you in a moment is Karen Bass when she finally comes back, the mayor of LA, to talk to the media. Great reporting. This reporter just goes through a litany of things that she hasn't answered for. And instead of answering them or saying, "How dare you?" I guess she could have done that. Karen Bass just stands there. It's an excruciating. You have to see it too. We'll do that in just a second. But I mentioned to Dawn a moment ago. This group, the Young Turks, all right? They're fairly well known and they do hold themselves out. In fact, their mission is to reach, they say, the 60% of Americans that they believe have progressive views. I don't know. They may qualify in one view here and there. I don't think 60% of Americans are progressive though. The number could be relatively small, but they're good at taking over power. So one of them Anna Casperin, I guess she's kind of the second in command. I don't see them as much anymore. They're fairly popular. She on Twitter responds to a progressive nonprofit blaming the water shortage in California on a billionaire couple, some shadowy billionaire couple. And she writes, "Now, our mayor who was in Ghana as fires exploded in our city cut the fire budget by 17 million endless amounts of money funneled to scammer homeless nonprofits. Yet we still hire tax and ever. We have encampments and squire everywhere. Even worse, we don't have enough firefighters to respond to this. And one of the reasons was the firefighters that were let go when they wouldn't get the COVID-19 vaccine. And she goes on to say rather than conserve the record rain we got last year, we just drained it into the ocean. We are a failing city run by a sick excuse for local government. You want to radicalize people against a modern democratic party, send them to LA. Now their remedy probably is an all-time oxymoron, competent progressivism, probably is what they would say. I don't know that they don't see that these people are progressive, but Sank Unger, who is the leader of this has been somewhat critical of the Democrat party and somewhat a progressive set times. I wouldn't call him a federal man, but he's been somewhat down that path. And this is just a shining example. So carefully, while giving do-no to the destruction to the victims, we should be right now talking about what is the root cause of it. The other side says it's climate. They're always going to go to that. And I say, no, this is what screwed up progressives do. They don't have to make anything on merit. It's all based on DEI, particularly the fire chief, the mayor. The mayor is an outstanding. Why stay in Ghana? Well, it's all about racism. She was a delegate, somebody inaugurated in Ghana. That's more important than running the second biggest city, particularly when there were all kinds of alerts on this. Is that blaming the victims? No. Do I think you're going to see these voters in LA suddenly toss out progressives? Not necessarily. So you got to continue to ask yourself, what is in it for people that vote for this? Well, they're ideology. They're worldview. For a while, they'll complain about it. They'll go, oh, my God, the hydrants. Yeah, the LA mayor said the hydrants can handle mass devastation. On Twitter, and to me, it looks very real. And I understand the reason why, because the water is not coming through enough through the hoses. You have LA firefighters filling up ladies handbags. Well, they might be men's. I'm not sure. Handbags and running to the fire to try to put out a house fire with them. And the only thing I could think of is there's not enough water pressure. It doesn't go through the hose because there's not enough water. So they're making do with a little bit. They're able to pump and engage in it. I mean, firefighters running with handbags. They don't know shame. They don't know disgrace. And the media is trying to say, how dare you while people are suffering. Take a look at this. Our eyes on the ball now. It is a blame game. Absolutely. I blame every single one of them. I blame the whole mechanism, the whole thought mechanism. It leads to results like this. Every one of them is a screw up up and down the line, including Gavin Newsom. Here's the Karen Bass. So with this reporter, I believe, from Sky News, it goes on for about two minutes or so. And amazingly, she doesn't seem to answer anything other than doing a Biden and giving us a URL that doesn't exist if people want help, which is apropos of what this woman's all about. Here's how it sounded. Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent while their homes were burning? Do you regret coming the fire department budget by millions of dollars, Madam Mayor? Have you nothing to say today? Have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today? YouTube.com/add1210wphd. Musk says that you're actually incompetent. Are you considering your position? Still no answer. Madam Mayor, have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today? You're dealing with this disaster. You can see a little tinge guilt in her face, I think. Do you see the guilt or? Well, I don't know about that. The apology for them. She's just not on her feet able to answer it, so she just doesn't try. Visiting Ghana while this was unfolding back home. Still at the podium. She's now walking through the hallways. Yeah, good job by that guy. He asked it in a respectful way, but a very pointed way. And she could have said, you know what, now's not the time for this, buddy. We'll get into this. I'm more concerned with it. Nothing. There is nothing here. So we have this age-old question. How do these people up and down the line, they crawl with this, not merit, but DEI. That's exactly what the whole thing is about. Well, because you still have substantial numbers of people who agree with this. Now they get appalled when it all comes out. So what do they do next? They blame us for pointing it out, saying, you know, shame. They start to blame climate. They find something else. They find some billionaire couple. Remember, I just read you that one. Instead of looking at the root cause of this, yes, this could have been difficult to control, but it certainly should have been relatively controllable. They didn't remove the brush effectively. I'm looking at a program they spent over $5 billion on five years ago, and they haven't put it in operation yet in order to sluice the water from the snow into the reservoirs and have that if we have a major situation like this. Now, do I think Philadelphia is as bad? No, I don't think Cheryl Parker is like Karen Bass, but they're not exactly world class either. How many cities run by Democrats, progressive cities, particularly, would be able to see this, be building up for it and deal with it. The answer is almost none that I can think of. YouTube.com/at12th and WPHT. Right now we have the video going. Not the audio of the handbags of fire. How ridiculous is that? It appears to be to me true, too. I've seen nobody because those look like firefighters. Now, speaking of firefighters, David Muir, I don't like David Muir even a little bit. You saw what he was really about during the debate. It was outrageous. Trump missed an opportunity. He should have gone right back at him on a couple of things rather than just meandering. Remember that debate. And I get it when you're on TV, a lot of it is how you look, too. That's important. But if you're going to be standing there, as this guy does, Mr. Empathy, talking about that, and you have these clothes pins on the back of your fake firefighters jacket in order to sink in your waist, and I think that's out of line. Yeah, you should put on makeup for this, fix your hair in the proper way. It is about how you look, but there's a line it's crossed. And when Muir turns to the side, you see the clothes pins pulling this in so that it's more form-fitting. I think that's a little bit much. All right, let me give you the side question today, 855-839-1210. By the way, I got a story today that I saw last night, late last night reading it. I hope you remember this later on in the show, because this is the big national story going on now. We have the former Girls High principal who was kicked out because she wanted proper to quorum at the graduation, and certain students, rather than men, girls high, is the girl school, even though it's going completely downhill. It's kind of like central, which also went downhill. They were told, no shouting, no mugging for the crowd when you walk up to get your diploma. And one girl started to dance across the stage. So this principal said, you're not getting your diplomas right here. She gave them to them later. And they kicked her out of Girls High for that. She's suing for racial discrimination. And she was discriminated against. She's white. She absolutely was discriminated against. She'll probably win a million dollars or more. And the school district of Philadelphia would say, who cares? Taxpayers pay for that. But I'll give you the details. If you're made international news, it didn't happen in 24. It was a 23 graduation. But we'll get to that. The fire department saying January is fire hydrant testing time. What in the world are you able to come up with? Okay. Side question today. Today is the birthday. I'm not sure if he'd be a hundred today. I'd have to go back and look at his age if he were alive. What do you be? Now, maybe over a hundred. Richard Nixon. I read two or three books on Nixon. He's fascinating character. Arguably, most people think the biggest intellectual has a president of anybody ever. So Nixon had a very distinctive style that was often mocked, rightfully so. It wasn't the unhappiest people of the world are those in the watering places, the international watering places like the south coast of France and Newport and Palm Springs and Palm Beach. Going to parties every night. All right, that's from Futurama, right? That's really Richard Nixon. Oh, it is? Wow. I thought that was the time. You want the Futurama, Richard Nixon? That's the other Futurama. Who here is tired of illegal spacing? He's taking our good earth jobs. Sounds even more like Nixon as I remember it. So, yeah, it's a better Nixon. Now, in studio with us is our own Jim Kelly, vocal impressionist extraordinaire. And the side question today, with Nixon, we had a million different Nixon's angles to think about. But that all time, not just voice, but vocal style, voice and style as far as presentation that stands out. So, I'm going to take off. I'm not going to do him today. I don't want to embarrass the real impressionist. But I think anybody can do Bill Clinton. It's a master of empathy. Bill Clinton is an all-time distinctive. It's the, oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was 12/3. My mistake. Okay. All right, Bill O'Reilly's next, Jim. Just hold up right here. We'll go to a great Bill O'Reilly here on Talk Radio 12 Tech. All right, time to hear Dan O'Show. It kind of slides into our question of the day. Richard Nixon's birthday, all-time vocal style is a side question. Well, how about the vocal style of one Bill O'Reilly? Bill joins us here on Talk Radio 1210. Bill, welcome back to Philadelphia. Thanks for joining us. Happy New Year, Dan. Thanks for having me back. Was the O'Reilly style on air always that Bill or when you started? Was it different? Well, I was a reporter for many, many years and I started 50 years ago. It's my 50th anniversary July, 2025, July, January. But I was a word July. Free from my butt off here. I'm sure it's cold and filly, too. And as a reporter, when I first started out, I was pretty dismal. Didn't really have a lot of style. And I was straight. I didn't inject my opinion or anything like that. But over the years, I became proficient at my craft. I was hired by CBS Channel 2 in New York as a local reporter, graduated to the network, and then later on worked at ABC with Peter Jennings. So my repertoire style was fairly straightforward. It was smooth. I can speak. I had that Irish balani. I was blessed with it. And then I made the transition into commentary, first at the ABC affiliate in Boston and then in the national realm with Fox News. And then I got brash. But I was always a brash guy. I just didn't use that part of my personality when reporting hard news. Got it. Got it. Did you ever interview Richard Nixon? Never did. Monica Crowley, who was his aide before he died, told me that Nixon was a big fan. But at that point, he was elderly. And I never really caught up with him first. President I ever spoke with was Gerald Ford right after Nixon left office. And in the late 1970s, I caught up with him in Val, Colorado, and had an extensive conversation with him. And then subsequently, I talked to every single president with the exception of Ronald Reagan. And I don't really know why our paths didn't cross, but they never did. Well, that brings us to President Trump, Bill. And I'm wearing people out because of the credibility you have with me and with the American public. And the sort of relationship you have with Trump over the years, including you amuse him. Apparently you said this week, it triggered me when I saw that a news nation. And when you talked about Trump asking you about being the greatest president or at least a great president, I have really pegged optimism on that. We all know he goes off the trail. But if he continues on that, he will do great things in his second term. So where do we stand now with Trump? Well, at a three hour meeting with him last Thursday, a week ago, one week ago in Mar-a-Lago. And it was an amazing window on history. I write about it on Bill O'Reilly.com and my column, which anybody can access, you don't have to be a member or anything like that, called Trump Ascendant. He's very focused, more focused than I've ever seen him on. I've known him for 35 years. And he does want to be Mount Rushmore kind of got. And in order to do that, he's got to fulfill his campaign promises. And he has basically got to make the lives of all the American people better. There is a pathway, but it is not going to be easy. And the president is a bombastic style. It's not going to change. He thinks it works to his advantage by saying, hey, we may invade Panama or Greenland. He's not going to invade Panama or Greenland. And Canada is not going to be the 51st state. But he says all this to shake it up and to try to gain advantage in negotiations. We're going to report tonight, Dom, on the No Spin News. And again, you can ask us on Bill O'Reilly.com. It's all over the place. About how many billions of dollars, almost a trillion dollars a year, is in play for trade deficits against the USA. This has got to stop. It's got to stop. And Trump knows it. But in order to get it to stop, he's going to have to do some heavy duty negotiating, which is a hammer and carrot situation. And so he starts off with the hammer. Yeah, exactly. No, Bill, that is encouraging. Look, I agree with you, Panama, Canal, Canada, trolling, either having some fun, doing something negotiating. But I think he wants to buy Greenland. And isn't that something that probably got into his mind? What's remembered? Buying Alaska, things like that. Something that Americans did. Panama Canal. Is that his thinking on Greenland? When I was visiting President Trump in Florida, I got to sit in on a cabinet meeting, which was an extraordinary window, both for journalists and a historian. And he asked me about it. He asked me about it. I don't volunteer information to the President of the United States, no matter who he is, or she may be upcoming, unless asked. I just don't do it. So he asked me about Greenland, and I said, "Look, you can make a deal with King Frederick and his Parliament over in Copenhagen, and you can get exactly what you want, and we'll do it." Because it's worthwhile for them to do it. They'll make a ton of money doing it. You don't have to say you're going to send Don Jr. and the Special Forces up there to take it over. In fact, there's a rumor that Greenland people said, "Look, we'll give you anything you want if you just take Don Jr. home." So he can get his deals. But for Donald Trump, I guess it amuses him to throw all his hand grenades, and it always has. He has always done that in his negotiations. Now, Bill, wait a minute. You said cabinet. Do you mean he has the people that he's nominated there? No, it was a cabinet meeting among advisors. So sitting next to me was Miller, and then Leitnick was there, and a whole bunch of other guys. It was six guys in the room, and I walked in. I don't think they were all thrilled to see me. I know Stephen Miller pretty well. I don't think he was with the others. Yeah, Pete and LeBron was looking at me like, "How did this guy actually get on the grounds?" Because when I asked anything, Don, you know this, because you know me many years. I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear. Exactly. Ever. I'm going to give you an honest assessment and back it up. Well, this is still encouraging, Bill. What you said, again, never said I'm more focused. We know the emotionality. We know he can get off on any other kind of thing, but he wants to be great. And if he realizes making this what he calls the Golden Age, here's the thing, though. Elon Musk, Bill, I'm not knowing your show or if you had some break over the holidays, but on my show and a couple shows here that HP won stuff with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami. Trump's on the wrong side of that with the base. I'm not saying it's unforgivable, but they're looking at this and they don't like it. It's small ball. You think so? It's small ball. It just look. There are a million things like that that come up. And they're always rolled over and rolled over and rolled over. When they come up with a plan, then I will analyze it. I don't have time to analyze what might happen, what could happen, what Ramaswami wants, what? Anybody? I don't. When Donald Trump gets behind something and says, "This is what I'm going to try to do," then I come in. But I don't even pay attention. I got so much other stuff to pay attention to. You got hostages. I learned that 80 percent of them are dead, and Trump is going to get the remaining ones out. He will. I absolutely believe that. But I got, I'm dealing with that. I'm dealing with she and a collapsing China economy. I'm dealing with Putin and the ruble collapsing, which I brought to the attention of President Trump in that meeting. And I said, "Look, you got a huge advantage here." Because the only thing keeping Vladimir Putin from being buried tomorrow is the generals that protect him and they're being paid in rubles, and now they can't spend the money. Absolutely. So Putin is going to have to deal. I haven't seen too much of this, but that's what you get at BillOReilly.com. How about on the book front right now? Are we in hiatus? What are you working on? No, I mean, well, confronting the President's 17 weeks on the New York Times list. Number seven. Unbelievable. That's right. Number seven. And share. I'm angry at share because she's ahead of me. I'm going to have to talk to her. I am writing another book for next September. I'm not going to announce it until March because if I announce it now, someone will steal it, steal the idea. And so I got to be careful about that, but it's going to be along the lines of the confronting. It's going to be another confronting book. And we've been here for the New Year, and I'm an old guy, as I said, 50 years in the business. My God. But we're still perking along. And I'm going to be very zeroed in on the first year of the Trump administration. That will tell the tale. He's got 12 months, because the other three years, and again, into all kinds of other stuff, looking out forward this and forward that this year is so vital for this country. And I'm giving Trump a fair chat, as I always do. I'm respectful. If the President of the United States asked me to come to where he is, I'm going to come and I don't care who the President is. But I can say, hey, come down to our home with us, we'll sit under the umbrella and I'll go, okay. All right. Well, Bill, congratulations 50 years. That's a great milestone. Bill O'Reilly.com all the time. Bill, thank you. Happy New Year, too. Okay, Don, let's talk soon. Thanks for having me in. All right, Bill O'Reilly here on Talk Radio 1210. Now, I peg a lot on that here in three hours, with the President Trump and the advisors, the cabinet, and that Trump is much more buttoned up, much more focused this time around. I differ with him on the HB1 thing. I don't think it's small ball. I don't like what they're doing. What Elon Musk is doing and how that went down. We'll see what they finally come out with. All right, phone lines to get in. Is Jim still around here? Henry, or no? Is he? Okay. Hit us with that all time voice is what we're looking for or vocal pattern. We played you Nixon. I'm going to take off the board. I mentioned Bill Clinton. Trump, of course, we never take that as an answer. But you know, as a great voice, shut your eyes the next time around that you see her, if you watch on stream or if you see her on TV, Megan Kelly Henry, if you ever just shut your eyes, because you see her all the time, and just listen to Megan Kelly's voice. It's incredible. It is. As a female authoritative voice. It's a nice, you know, because everyone's always yelling or screaming or doing something. The clips I record and it's a nice break when I can record her voice. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. So in studio with us is mimic extraordinaire impressionist. He'll come where you are, just like Bill O'Reilly. Jim, how about a little Bill O'Reilly since we just had O'Reilly here? He thinks he just has a normal pattern that that's not something that's kind of unusual. Okay. Well, here's the thing. You guys here will need Dom's your dental program, and it's an honor to be here. Because as they say, thank you very much right now. Welcome to the Factor. Tonight, we're going to talk about ludicrous and is progressive commercial. All right. So Jim Kelly, over these years, who's your favorite? Who's your all-time favorite? I had to say my favorite would be Rush, but others would be a lot of Simpson characters. Probably are some of my favorites. Bob Pantano on our sister station is another favorite of mine. What a random voice. We were in his way. We were in the same book at Newman, you know that, right? So what's your Bob Pantano? I've got a great time tonight right now, Saturday Night Dance party. Really good time as we play some great songs. Don't forget we'll be at the beach bar tomorrow night. All right, great time right now at the great Dan Borreski, playing those great songs. Yep. We'll be at the beach bar tomorrow night. We'll be at a kavitsky's on Saturday. And don't forget right now, stop off and see my buddy out on land birdie, some car dealership, some food thing. And you do know what today is right there? What's today? Today is a very significant anniversary. Here we go. Anniversary what? You don't know that, Dan? You don't know where you go with this? No, I generally-- It's a side question. I was going to change it. Today is my anniversary guy. Oh, really? As I went to satellite radio, Robin, probably now is my first day on satellite radio, where I was going to become a revolutionary. The revolution was going to begin. And I guarantee you though, I'm not there today. Definitely not. I mean, starting the anniversary off, huh? I took my anniversary off. Yeah, I'm going to be off through January. I'm going to do it at Jim Cowie. I'm going to steal this great idea. I'm going to go to sleep on April 2nd and on January 2nd, Robin. I'm going to go to sleep and then I'm going to go wake up on April 3rd. I stole that from Jim Cowie, Robin. And your greatest segment ever, Howard. We all know what that was. 14 minutes attacking, Dan. Yeah, you're attacking. Dan, Dan, Dan, you're getting back. But guess what now? At least I got the name right. DoM. All right. Thank you. Thank you, Murrell Reese. Thank you, Dominic, you're Dan. It's an honor to be on your show as always. And Jim Cowie, just when you thought you were out, they always pull you back in. Thank you. Thank you, Murrell. Who's today brought to you, man? Who's today brought to you by, huh? It's brought to you by PNC, right? All right. Thank you. You don't do my quick. Okay. Stay with stick with Murrell. That's enough. Thank you, Jim. Thank you. Thank you. We've got a request to do Harry Cowles. Do you know Harry Cowles? No, never really done a Harry Cowie. How do you live in Philadelphia and you never took the time to do a Harry Cowles? I don't know, Dan. I think that that's one of a big. That's not as distinctive. I used to try to do a Dom Jiro d'Anno impression, but it just never really, it never happened. Come on. Now let's hear your try. Yeah, just put a heavy South Philly accent. Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, here's Dom because he's filled in everywhere else. So here's Dom. Hey, everybody. Welcome in Dom Jiro d'Anno here at WOGL. A little different than what I'm used to pinch hitting for Angela Mason and Bob Pantano tonight. Don't forget, get in on this, the trip a day. And hey, it's been at work here on WOGL. It's been over. Thank you, Jim. Very much, Bravo. Did you do a music show at one point? Oh, is that what are you the leading two? No, if they asked me to fill in the WIP that was talking at one point, can you imagine the audience? Oh, man, since he's filled in like on like every other radio station that you could possibly imagine. That's true. Why not do a music show on WOGL? Could you imagine Dom Jiro coming up next? We have Travis Scott. Not enough talking there that you talk for 10 seconds and you wait for three hours. Yeah. All right. 855-839-1210. Henry, who's yours? Who's it? I got two today. So I'm going to take off someone I relate with heavily. And that would be the legendary comedian, Stephen Wright, in his very monotone ride. It seems to come through you. Yeah. See, you hear it coming through the mic? You're a big Mitch Hedberg fan too. Yeah, he's good too. But I don't know. He's talking about the Steve, like at least Mitch has like energy when he's doing it. Like, I like Stephen's just not food poisoning today. Oh my gosh, you do them really well. That's very well used. I only know. Hold on. I got to hear this a little bit. I got food poisoning today. Don't know when I'll use it yet. It's a really good right? Yeah. No, it's right in my wheelhouse. Even got thumbs up from Jimmy over there. That's great. Very good. Dan, how about yours? I'm going to take another one that Jim can do off the board. How about some? Because he's so controversial. He was just mentioned when we do distinct voices Gilbert Godfrey. See, he's deceased, but right? Yeah. Are we doing living? It lives on in the out. It doesn't matter. I gave her Godfrey really caused trouble when we were at the old building for the morning host centers no longer. Do you have a Gilbert impression there, Jim? Oh my God. Yes. I remember that. So you were in two bow and you know what the great thing about two-barre plaza was? At least you could park in two-barre plaza. Here you're just driving around and driving around like, where's the parking at around here? There's no way to park. Inside story. I don't know what he did. I wasn't there for that, but it was bad on the air. So yeah, it's got you don't want to have on the air. All right. Coming up. Hit us with your all-time grade. It may not have just been a voice. It may be this Henry. It's the whole delivery like O'Reilly. It's the whole delivery. He doesn't you think he's doing it. I've been around O'Reilly just standing there talking and it's the same thing. I've heard Merrill Reese on the golf course and it's the same thing as if on the air. It's not just pumped up for the air. It's the same thing. Uh, Dan, who was yours again? Gilbert Godfrey. I don't know. For mention yesterday, we were talking about Meghan Markle's new show that she's doing trying to be the next Julia Child. Jim, you do a Julia Child impression? Afraid not. No. Oh, my God! Why don't you do it? All right. Is that Mickey Mouse? That sounds more like Sesame Street. All right. Here's how you get in 855-839-1210. Hit us with that on the side question. Nixon's birthday and Dan has gotten Roger Stone, who has Nixon tattooed on his back, a giant Nixon, among other things. And he'll be here to talk about Nixon, but also Trump, whom he's advised, you heard O'Reilly. Is that give you faith that Trump will follow through during this, uh, second term?

It is time time 855-839-1210. You get on board a couple of things about the fires in California 1. Mayor Bass just a little while ago said, well, you know, it's a perfect storm. Yeah, it is a perfect storm of progressivism, but actually means, oh, no, it's a perfect storm of who could have seen this coming. They get wildfires all the time. They had these reports of severe wind coming with this and you look at the infrastructure, how bad they are. It's not a perfect storm. Oh, nobody would have been able to anticipate or overcome this. The other is any place like California, where there's one party rule, but particularly with progressives. But even in places where Republicans are in charge and there's just no counterbalance, you're going to have trouble. That's a large part of the problem. I've told you, I've asked some of these people and thought off you that have gotten convicted, be it shock of it, Todd, Seth Williams, his friend. And it seems like they were thinking, well, I'm fine with the Democrat chieftains in town. I can do whatever the hell I want. Right? You forgot about the feds. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what happens. As long as you're inside that, when it's one party, you don't have too much to worry about. But this devastation and to see them today in this news conference, they're not out there and inspiring anybody. Also, California had a big insurance crisis. A lot of it was canceled as this happened. State Farm, our buddy from State Farm. Last time he was at the sugar ball, I hope that guy's not bringing the game tonight. My God. Just amazing. I wonder what he'd say about the fires in Pacific Palisades. All right. And bonus points, if you attempted impression of the person you're calling in about on the side question, all right, Richard Nixon, one of the most distinctive when Dan play that, I thought that was Futurama, not Nixon. And what was the catch line? I was looking for it yesterday when he did laugh in socket to me. I think Nixon actually said that or they did it with him. The most awkward guy imaginable socket to me. How did Nixon become president? Not once, twice, two reasons, brilliance beyond belief and determination, second to not discipline, just to recheck all. That's how he did it. Otherwise, how would this guy particularly imagine sitting on stage? Look at Richard Nixon, with no makeup or bad makeup, five o'clock shadow, and who's he sitting on stage with a tanned John Fitzgerald Kennedy? Well, I think arguably was the most handsome president, not even close in history. You just can't, you can't sit on stage with a guy like this. You're going to look incredibly bad. All right, let's go to John and Waterford and John, you're on talk radio 1210 afternoon, John. Hi, Tom, how you doing? Good, John. Okay, I, when I was in high school, I had a certain teacher who had unique, like, not so much his voice, but his speech pattern, you know what I mean? Okay. And what were you to know him as Mr. Giradano? What was so different? I had the same speech pattern, John. What was, what was different? It's not, it's not, it's not the way you put sentences together. I mean, the way, the way you say phrases, that's what sounds so familiar. Oh, okay. I mean, that's, you know what I am? Yeah. What year were you at right in John? I, well, I graduated in 1982. So I think that puts me in your, between your classroom, 79 to 80. Yeah, somewhere around there. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I can tell he's one of your students. He said, graduated. Stop a minute. So John, what are you doing now? Actually, right now, I'm a custodian in a different school. Okay. Well, John, I don't know if I can tell you that's okay. But thank you. Thanks for that recognition. I'm glad it's stuck with it. Awesome. Yeah. Well, actually, because when I first started listening to you, I didn't make the connection because I mean, to what you weren't done, you were Mr. Giradano. Right. But then somebody that I went to school, I said, yeah, you know, that guy, that's, that's, so you remember in high school? That's Mr. Giradano. As soon as he said, I was, I picked up on your speech. So was he, was he the teacher that everyone was afraid of, or was he the cool kid, the cool guy? Oh, no. He was a pretty cool teacher, honestly. Yeah. Yeah. So he's talking to himself up when he would, you know, say he was always angry and aggressive with the students. I never said that. No, he was, he was kind of a pal teacher, you know. That's awesome. Well, thank you, John. Appreciate it very much. Happy New Year. Thank you, John. All right. Put that guy to the head of the class. All right. Only to put words in your mouth. Yeah. There you go. Oh, I drove Columbus as a very good and very distinctive pattern. The personality that comes through the voice and original. And you just heard Bill O'Reilly, and he said, oh, I was kind of tep it when I was a reporter, that kind of thing. I'm telling you, it's not showbiz with O'Reilly when he's coming at you. And although it's told me many times, that time they almost had to fight on there, he knew it. He was ready to go right out of me, telling himself I'm six foot five. I'm going to kill Bill O'Reilly right here. Distinct, beyond belief, but Nixon very underrated how distinctive that is. Robert and Ben Salem on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Robert, afternoon. Hey, Tom, Dan. Good to talk to you guys today. Before I get to my side question, I want to just say it would be a good thing watching progressivism crash and burn, no pun intended. But what really kills me is the victims of it. I mean, if you think about it, Tom, between their approach to crime, their approach to public emergency, everything, I would say between 50 and 100,000 people have died or come close to dying because of Democrat policies over the last four years. And that's the tragic part out of it. As these people do their tap dance around it, but it looks like the reality starting to catch up to them, them and the media as well. And it can't come soon enough because the sooner they die, the sooner good people stop dying. You know what I'm saying? I hear what you're saying. And I think my only caution here is I'm not sure that Republicans have it within them. Trump has the secret sauce and all the stuff that he does. And he's broken through. You and I agree, these things have always been there. Can we solidify it? So after the Trump years, Republicans can continue to shine the light on this and people are going to see it. I hope so. In other words, I hope it's epiphany for people. I hope it's not just they're enamored with Trump particularly. Well, there's one good thing that might spare us from that. I don't see another George H. W. Bush waiting in the wings when Trump goes to kill the Republican movement. Congratulations, Scott, because I didn't get a chance to for winning quality year and also Joe from Columbus for making a hell of a run. You know, there's more people that vote is in that thing than I've ever seen in these things. And I think that's a good thing. It was incredible. Yes. I'm going to have to have voter ID the next year. Come on, we're going to have the next you're going to have to show up there to vote. That's what's going to happen. Well, any time a profile is raised, there's always some shenanigans involved, but the profile is still raised, right? Absolutely. My answer to the side question is, before I do the interview, before this with Cassius Clay, I'm sorry, Muhammad Ali, I'm terrible in impressions, but I wanted to get this answer in before anybody else did. I got to go with Howard Coachella. All right. And I'm glad he held on to his two pay as long as he did. You guys have yourself a great day. All right. Thank you. Coachella with Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier was taking it. Ali was working him over before a big fight. Then he called him ignorant and Joe Frazier, my nuts and Coachella's two pay got knocked off. It was crazy. Pretty hard to knock it off. All right, eight, five, five, eight, three, nine, 12, 10, more of your calls coming up at two o'clock. We're going to have Roger Stone, who is the biggest nixen guy out there that I know of. And I'll ask him about Trump, whom he's advised. He's got some interesting Republicans. He's on sub-stack that he's calling out as rhinos still. So he'll be here at two o'clock. Your calls are next though on Talk Radio 12 tap. Down to your Dano show, just looking online during the break. Here's an evacuated Pasadena resident telling various news media, we are sick and tired of having liberal political leadership play Russian roulette with all of our lives. I get the anger. I don't even think it's Russian roulette. You know, it's because they're completely loaded. They don't care. That's not their mission. And the number one job of anybody in these positions is what to protect citizens. Next job is to make their lives more convenient and easier. They fail at every level. But I realize it's maddening. Driving that home, are we at a tipping point here? Or is it just Trump had the secret sauce and she's so bad, meaning Kamala Harris, that we were able to do this? By the way, no love lost. Dr. Jill Biden today. Oh, man. When Biden and Dr. Jill came in, the Harris's were already seated and even CNN commentary, they, they are not even looking at each other. Yeah, that's probably a good move when you have to sit through a funeral of hours with all these people you despise there. Meanwhile, Obama and Trump were nudging each other and talking a lot. And Michelle Obama, apparently, I know she's in Hawaii. That's a long trip at all. But my God, doesn't show up for this. And here's why I've always resented Michelle Obama, because Michelle Obama is the one that's held out by so many media types as the gold standard of civility and all the rest of it. How does she not show up at the funeral? Then it doesn't have to be there, but doesn't. I don't know if any antagonism with Jimmy Carter just decided she wasn't going to inconvenience herself and go through it. I've absolutely has a right to do that. I remember Rudy Giuliani, though, saying, you always have to show up at the funeral. Yeah, other things. It's nice of you show up. He said this around 9/11. I will take some more on that all time. Think distinctive, not just great voice, but something really distinctive in their style. Nixon had that, probably in a bad way. And I'm going to tell you, hopefully, you remember some of this. It made international news. The other shoe was dropped. The former principal of girls high now suing the Philadelphia school district, where she's still a principal for racial discrimination. All straight ahead, talk Radio 1210. It is time time. Welcome in. Side question today in honor of the, I think fish applying tells me Richard Nixon would be 112 if it be real life today. Nixon's vocal pattern, voice, the combination of it. That's what we're looking for. You're all time favorite. One you think is really distinctive. Now, we had this story of a woman named, they made international news. It was graduation season 2023. Lisa principal Lisa Messi was not only the principal of girls high, which used to be in the Philadelphia public schools, the girls version of central and has fallen, by the way, side based upon any number of metrics. And there she was trying to have decorum at the graduation. It is girls high after all. And she told the student, now, this person was the person that other principals trained with. She was an icon. She told them that they were just to receive their diploma and warn them if there were outburst during this, then they wouldn't be given their diplomas at that point. Well, one girl danced across the stage. Another did this kind of pantomime thing. And the other, the parents went way over the top coming toward the stage. And those three, she said, Nope, you are not going to get your diploma right now. You'll get it. And I think it was in almost short order that they did get it. Now, she's white. And even though this seems perfectly within reason, she was under fire big time. She's fired back now. She was removed from her job in a form of discipline and giving a demeaning special assignment because she is white in retaliation for exercising her first amendment right to refuse to appear at a public press conference and issue a public apology from the defendants in this who are the ones that cause this. Girls High open in 1848 as one of the nation's first public high schools for women at an established rule and tradition of requiring its graduates to proceed formally across the stage without audience applause or shouting according to the lawsuit. So they dumped her, wanted her to give the apology. The then school board president castigated her saying it used antiquated norms in and robbed the students of inclusive joy. There's that word again inclusive, right? The assistant superintendent who supervised her said your actions demonstrated a lack of respect for the students and their families. It's my belief the practice is as best outdated at worst a practice that lacks an awareness of culturally responsive norms. Translation race was involved here. I believe this woman will win. She was told allegedly this lawsuit says by a district spokesperson Monique Braxton told the woman in a June 17th conversation if you were a black woman this would not be happening. Okay. So on and on it goes many of the comments directed at her were vulgar and obscene even though the Girls High Alumni Association defended her issued a statement supporting her. So what will happen here I believe is she'll win. She'll get a certain dollar amount and the Philadelphia public schools would just go merrily on their way because ultimately all these lawsuits all this money they pay out the taxpayers pay it. They continue these sorts of tactics. So if you remember this is it starting to come back to you made international news and we've all been to graduations you know I think I get it but I've seen stuff it's just it's either a formal ceremony or it's not. If you just want to make it they do whatever the hell you want. Okay do that but Girls High had a tradition of this and again how do these students suffer again. They got their diploma. They're the ones that called attention to themselves and aided and abetted this and she had told them what the rules were so be to be taken out of that position and put into a clerical position. She's now a principal of another high school less desirable she says. It's just another example of what goes on here and thought and that's why it made international news. People were not attacking her they didn't say oh my god this woman's nuts. They went after the fact that she was under death threats because she held to this line. So then why have a graduation? Why not just say hey show up dress in any way that you want. We'll hand you your diploma. What's the big deal anyhow. Now can you get can you go too far but there are too many graduations first of all you know the pre-k graduation kindergarten graduation going to middle school or going to junior high and then that graduation then high school. Is it something that is a lost thing just let them show up and give them their piece of paper saying you know well it's filled up your public schools it's fraudulent but it's a piece of paper that says yes you know something even though if you don't it doesn't matter. All right phone lines eight five five eight three nine twelve ten you get on board. It's going to be really interesting to see if the LA fires have any lasting impact on how people view this. I think some people are thinking it will. Here's just one perfect example though this is cut sixteen this is an LA news anchor and humiliated you would think during this segment where he's saying none of this is true none of this is true about the firefighters don't have water it's all made up essentially when I'm watching this guy he's saying all you can serve it up I can imagine talk radio out there all that stuff they're just making it up this is what they always do and at the very end of this news report it's about a minute 26. You'll hear the reporter not once but twice on the scene saying firefighters are telling me they don't have any water to put out the fires here's how it sounded. Or excuse me former LA mayoral candidate and real estate developer Rick Caruso criticizing the city's response to the wing storm and fires he says officials should have been more prepared. Really issued to me a twofold we've had decades to go remove the bush in these hills that spread so quickly and the second is we've got to have water and my understanding is the reservoir was not refilled in time and in a timely manner to keep the hydrants go so that's a failure whether on DWP's part or another city agency but this is basic stuff this isn't high science here. It's all about leadership and management that we're seeing a failure of and all of these residents are paying the ultimate price for that. Despite what you have heard from Caruso no firefighters have told us that they are running out of water. And let's go out to Gigi Graziet. She is live in Pacific Palisades. I know your signal's not the best but Gigi what can you tell us? Well firefighters have told me they have no water on this block and you may make out the embers storm that we're in the middle of right now. This house going to be a total loss they have no water to put on this fire. They are standing by because they're trying to save the home that is next to it. All right so no water firefighters there no water a couple times after this guy. It's a rear guard action they're trying to try to tell us A) this is climate or B) you big mouse nobody could do anything about this. And look once this starts it's difficult everybody realizes there's certain difficulties but this is a failure of proportions it is the most destructive in their history. It's possibly because they're nowhere near putting this out. That's the problem here. That's the bottom line and this is something that Gavin Newsom now has been swept up in and this is going to hurt him. We'll see tape of this already and the comparison is apt. Scott Jennings on CNN saying let's see a split screen of what Desanis has done in Florida versus what Newsom has done in California. And Newsom used that word when he was on with Anderson Cooper last night about whose problem is this etc. Talking about the folks. As soon as you hear folks here's cut seven. This is Newsom he's asked by Anderson Cooper on CNN why the fire hydrants have no water. I do think there's a split screen here too with Florida to be honest. A lot of what we talk about it in terms of emergency management in this country almost always comes from hurricanes and weather and yeah who is the recognized best emergency manager in the country on the Santas in Florida. So Newsom is also he's under assault from Trump a little bit but you know he's also dealing with I think a comparative here. You know what do other governors do is he is good. So when you're talking about the future politics of it is he is good at this as another governor might be to be a real problem for him because you know right now I think people have serious questions and there are no answers yet. He'll have a chance to answer them but it doesn't look great right now. All right here is the Dan what I wanted. Yeah that's what Jennings said. This is Newsom being asked I believe by Anderson Cooper about why they don't have any water cuts haven't. What is the situation with water obviously in the palisage right now last night in the hydrants. I was trying to fire a fire in this block. They left because there were no water in the hybrid here. The local folks are going to figure that out. I mean just when you have a system that's not dissimilar to what we've seen in other extraordinarily large scale fires. Whether it be pipe electricity or whether it just be the complete overwhelm of the system. I mean those hydrants are typical for two or three fires maybe one fire. You have something at this scale but again that's going to be determined by the local. Are we buying that? I don't think so. I don't think so. When you're here and you know what the number one or the principal problem that you have fires, wildfires that's what you have to worry about. They didn't come anywhere near doing it. It's not just that it's overwhelming. It's that they were overwhelmed because they were completely unprepared with all the billions they spent because they're disgraceful because they're DEI up and down the line. They're clowns and they can't handle it. It's not the local folks and what do you expect? This is extraordinary. It's extraordinary because they've allowed it to become this extraordinary. Obviously they would have some problem with this. They really have to work hard and bring resources in but the devastation that we're seeing here that's now they're projecting that it's 40% contained Fox News is saying now. But this is a living memorial to progressivism, to what they are, to what the National Democrat Party is and this is what you'll get with them. All right. Let's go to, let's see here. Let's go to Scott in Mount Laurel. Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Scott. Good afternoon. Hey, Don. Good afternoon. It's just so typical. You know, they're spending so much time on things that aren't important that even if they want to do the right thing, they don't have enough time to do it. They're spending time doing ridiculous stuff, nonstop, worrying about all the, you know, the color of everybody in the gender and all the, they would just spend the time in government doing what they were supposed to do. Government would run a lot better. Yeah. But that's not how you advance in the Democrat Party. You don't advance your merit executive leadership on the basic type of stuff. You advance like this woman did it to the head of the fire department on DEI of being a lesbian who's out. Those are the things of advancement. So it's, people will realize, yeah, well, Karen Bass was the runner up to Kamalisa Rice for the DEI to be vice president. She didn't get that. So they elected her against a competent guy, the billionaire, barely in LA. And look at the result. I mean, we've gone through this for years saying, look, you know, we just need people to make the connection between the negative things that happen and the people that they're voting for that are doing them. They're starting to make that connection. But like you said, without Trump to highlight it, you know, we'll really have to work hard to try to keep that connection visible. Oh, yeah. And Scott, I'm being fair. I'll ask you, we'll start off with you. Let's bring it closer to home here. All right. So first black woman who's mayor in Philadelphia. We have that now I maintain that Cheryl Parker would not allow her city to be in a situation like this. I don't see evidence of it. I think she's much more competent than that would sweat the basic kind of stuff. So I'm not saying it's every person in that role. But I'm saying there's enough of them when DEI is the path that this is what you're going to get. Do you think Cheryl Parker would allow something like this? No, I don't think so. I thought she sounded great and all the interviews you did with you before the election certainly sounded like she had a grasp of the issues and was competent. And I think she won because of that. And, you know, how she's going to govern, if it was a ruse or not, I guess we'll find out in time, you know, if the city gets cleaned up, can we know how to clean up crime? It's a question of whether they have the, you know, the political will to do it. Yeah. Well, if it had been Helen Kim, on the other hand, it would be more devastating than this. Right. And that's why Cheryl wanted someone who, you know, would potentially clean things up. Exactly. Who's your person, Scott? Well, it's great to be here on the Dom Giro Giano program. And I am here with Philly's manager, Charlie Manuel. Charlie, how would you sum up baseball? Well, you know, you'll like Harry. You'll like, I can sum up baseball. You're like, like in one word. You're like, and that one word is you like, you never know. I didn't know you had an Indian Scott. Very good. Oh, I love doing a present. What's time you're in the Phillies booth? You better whip out it. Yeah, you're going to be in the Phillies booth this year. What do you think? Well, say we'll do it the prices. That Roger guy put that price through the roof. That progressive. I was like, okay, I did. I got a better better deal. I'm like Trump. I like a good deal. All right. Thank you, Scott. We hope you're in there. We're working that up already. The secret word to say, all right, eight, five, five, eight, three, nine, 12, 10. You would think after something like this, like if the election were held in a couple weeks, and it were a Caruso against Bass. Do I know for certain Caruso would win the Republican billionaire who came fairly close? No, I don't. Breaking these patterns is not easy. Despite the evidence that's in front of us, the media is already saying, have you no shame? You shouldn't be talking about something like this. While it's happening, people are dead, destruction all over the place. When are we going to talk about it? When you hope we forget about it? Do I think Chorrell Parker, for example, would run a city like this, or is running a city like this? No, I don't think Chorrell Parker is somebody like that. But there are any number. Daniel Outlaw was the face of DEI, the former police commissioner. Karen Bass was the runner up to Condoleezza, to a Kamala Harris to be vice president. And on it goes, filling up women's handbags. We're seeing that today with some of the LA fire department in order to put out the fire. That's what they're reduced to because of the shortage of water. And do I see the people in charge, Newsom included, desperately trying to move heaven and earth on this? No. I think they're in a bubble that thinks this is not going to ultimately stick. And it may not. I don't know what it takes to break through on this, on just the competency issue. Yes, there are incompetent dopes that are Republicans. No doubt. But it's more the ideology that just drives itself toward the notion of that's the stuff that's secondary. It's a distraction. What we're going to do is we're going to put in DEI, and we're going to fixate on that, and we don't care about anything else. All right, more of your calls are next. You're with Dom and talk Radio 12 Tap. All right, time to hear Dan O'Show. This is a question we all wrestle with, I guess, at funerals. But when you're former Vice President, current President, former this, that or the other, so today, as I said, the Bidens didn't pay much attention, didn't even look at Kamala Harris. Good indicator there. But several people, and I'm watching the footage as people come in. President Bush does not greet Donald and Melania Trump at all. He walks past that where Obama was sitting and gives him a loving belly tap. They're friendly. A belly tap. A belly tap. A belly bump? Yeah, yeah. Touchdown, jump in the air. Yeah, something like that. And Karen Pence, totally snob Trump and Melania Trump at the funeral, where Mike Pence show cans with President Trump. Now, we had a situation where invited to the Clinton White House. DJ, I hated Bill Clinton at that point. I think it was 14. And we knew there was going to be a handshake thing involved. 40-year-old just despised. Yeah, yeah, and told him, well, you know, you got to shake a hand here. You're shaking a hand to the office in a situation. Now, in the case of Karen Pence, though, given that Mike Pence was under fire where the Secret Service may have had to open fire on people that were coming after him, potentially there. I could understand that, you know? What's the line that you get to, even at a funeral? Now, I'll give you one other. It's just a miserob. I've told this story before. While Bill Geneer's family has me speak in hisology, it was such a big deal. I believe it was at the Academy of Music. That's how big of a deal it was. You know, what a hero, Philadelphia, the whole thing. And Kenny's there, and he mustn't observe me, and he sits within a seat or two of me backstage, and I had all kinds of fancy chairs set up for the next in line of the Georges. And either somebody whispered or adorned on him. He gets up, looks around the room, makes everybody sees, and walks completely like 50, 60 feet to the other side of the room to sit down. You know, I'm not going to sit with me, you know, at a funeral, you shouldn't be doing that. And I'm not going to say anything to him there. You can't. It's just ridiculous to engage in it, and a ceremony like that. You have to have better manners. YouTube.com/add12tonwphd. I just have to put it up there. Yeah, put it up there. It'd be the role footage of entering, shaking hands. So, Dan, is there anybody you would... There are people out there in the world. I could see that I wouldn't even had a funeral. I wouldn't make a thing of it, but I just wouldn't. I'm not going to go near them. I've gone through a list in my opinion. There's not really many people. The one that comes to mind is Krasner. Okay, right. You know, it's tough because I feel he is intentionally doing harm to a local community. Right. Yeah, he's his ideology, and he is beyond arrogant about it. That would be impossible. But with Harris, for example, we differ with her completely ideologically. I don't like how she got to where she did. But, you know, we don't want to be like the other side saying, Trump is Hitler, so you can't shake hands with him, then after the election's over. Like, I could shake hands with Josh Shapiro. I despise everything about the modus operandi and what he's doing. Yeah, Krasner is one. Henry, how about you? Anybody? Most politicians probably. Okay, John Calipari. I don't mind, Cal. I don't have a disdain come as much as Scott and Mount Laurel does, or anyone like that. But you wouldn't just because they're a politician. Yeah, my favorite line of work, I should say. But if you're there, isn't it the officer shaking hands? What if it's a president, for example? I have to disgrace the office badly enough. I don't think that's right. Yeah, that's what I'm asking. What's the line here before you're? I mean, the polite thing to do is to try to avoid. Don't make the first rules. Don't make a spectacle. Try to avoid being in that situation. Both people should try to do that. If possible, at a funeral, you got to try to do it. Now let me ask you this on the other side of things, youtube.com/badwpht. We're currently showing after Obama sat down, him and Trump very chummy. Having a conversation smiles back and forth. Is that too much? It was too much. I think they were, they were talking too much at the funeral. Yeah, I do. They were joking, talking and all. I don't like that at a funeral. No, not really. I know there was a lull there before stuff happened. I don't think you ought to be doing that at a funeral. You do that after the wake or before you sit down, but when you're sitting there in the church around this, probably not. Yeah, real awkward moment as Bush enters and just walks right past Trump and Melania to give Obama a bump on the chest. Yeah. Everyone behind them being vice presidents, gore, Pence, they all stand up and he goes right to them to shake hands after giving the belly bump to Obama. Yeah, what's that? What's the Bush thing with a sitting president, President-elect now, that he can't with Trump? What's so despicable about Trump to Bush? Well, Jeb Bush, is that what I mean? It brought it on himself though. I think you asked the never Trump or style Bush is out there. They say that Trump bastardized conservatism. All right. Is that the sin though? Is this like a tyrant or something like Krasner where we're talking life and death here? I wouldn't. You know what? Here's what to do, Dan. You shake his hand, but then you're more pleasant with Obama. You know, it's the belly. The two of you sit there and talk for a minute. And with Trump, you just give him a perfunctory handshake and move on. That I could see. Well, is that not making a scene again? Like you just put him like a, you know, dead fish handshake. And then it's like, yo, Obama, what's up, dog? Is that not, is that not making a scene like you're clearly playing for you? Give him a chessbook. Yeah, but at least you're shaking Trump's hand to walk right past him. And then Henry, you got the bird and the wife is there. What a Melania do to Bush? Yeah, it's fair. I mean, you don't have to shake the wife's hand if you want to make a statement there. You can't just bypass the white. That's a good point, right? So having a problem with Dan that week, I don't hug Macy at a thing. Come on. It's like, oh, no, she's got, she can't accept that because Dan. Not about to hug Dom when we go to this event, Meezy. All right. Remember that. No, Ro would, you know that. I couldn't coach her out of it. I would never not hug Ro if we were. I know. Right. I just, you can't get her out of that the matter of what you got to avoid them. But when you're national leaders like that, and then you got Hillary sitting there with all of them. They all hate Hillary. I mean, every laugh, everyone. I don't think any of them shook her hand. No, I didn't see anything with it. And there was like a weird moment to where she sat down next to George. And there's like a, you know, when you usually sit to someone that you have floated in circles in the past, if you're not friendly with them, you kind of like acknowledge them. Exactly. Just completely ignoring, ignoring one another. Well, I noticed George later like leans over and makes a joke to both Bill and her and things up. But you can tell there's some weight in the air when she sits down. When they were escorted in, Kamala Harris is the second gentleman, went in first, went in second. She went in first, then she stopped and made him go to the end. I think they were trying not to have her sit next to Jill Biden, but the protocol was she's got to sit next to her. So those have to be at that level, the intensity where you have to be somebody you despise or you really don't like. I mean, I've been in events and situations like that. You just got to suck it up and get through it and not show the public. There's anything particularly wrong with it. During the break, I'm going to also bring up a clip of Kamala Harris when she sits down. Yes. She's Trump and Obama chatting. You see like her. Well, yeah, she thinks it was inappropriate on that. I kind of agree about what she did before. But yeah, what's going on here? Yeah. All right. Sue's one around though. She tweets that it's before the funeral. You should be able to talk. Have your back and forth now. They're in church. It was a little bit too much laughter and stuff going on, I think. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I think you do that in other places. YouTube.com slash you got 12th and W.P.H.T. tuning for Domet Dark with Domet Dark. What the heck is going on? Lights are on out there. I hope we're not experimenting. What? Are we experimenting with something in here? Yeah. I don't know. No one's doing anything. That's hilarious, which was like dead. Okay. Yeah. Something. Yeah. Okay. At least we're on there. Somebody's experimenting. No, it's experimenting. We're looking around. All right. So it's someone forgot to pay the bill. All right. So it's eight five five eight. Oh, yeah. They were expired. I was writing. There you go. That's right. They were experimenting with something. eight five five eight drones in the air. Yeah. eight five five eight three nine 12 10. If you have a comment on that, these these public things are difficult for everybody involved. But what's the protocol? That in the side question, we have more coming up. Talk Radio 12 tap. All right. It is a dumb time. Welcome in. So the New York Post brings in a professional lip reader, Jeremy Freeman. And he says Trump is saying to Obama, I pulled out of that. It's a condition. Can you imagine that? And after I will call me after this, we need to get a quiet place to talk. Obama, can you just it should be good? Trump, I can't talk. We have to find a quiet place sometime. This is a matter of importance. We need to do this outside so that we can deal with it certainly today. Oh, man. Imagine. But Obama did look very engaged with him. Meanwhile, a federal appeals court in New York has turned down the Trump appeal to block the New York sentencing tomorrow. Now it goes on to the Supreme Court where the Trump people are asking them to block it. Hard to know what they may do in this. You know what it's about. It's spite just trying to have that felon tag on Trump when he takes the oath of office. All right. Big game coming up this weekend with the Eagles and the big year where they can go to the Super Bowl. And we have the, I just saw this DJ Senate to me, the death of a former, well, Archbishop Brian Great, then University of Maryland. And it was a guy who was pretty unique. I think they called him an H back at the time. He played for Tennessee mainly, Frank Weicheck. And he died after he died. They took a look at his brain. And they report today he had stage three of the degenerative brain disease CTE. He had at least 25 concussions, the family said during his career, he struggled to find stability in his life after he retired, often telling his daughter if felt like his brain had a thick brick wall inside that stopped his will to follow through with anything. Now, again, I mentioned it all the time. And making peace with it, when you see a guy like this locally, he was that known around this, we know with the players today, he didn't quite know the year he played. I think it was 52. So this was some years back. These guys today certainly have to know about this risk factor. And maybe that's how we're able to, at least for me, I'll speak for me, watch and not think about that much. Henry, do you ever think about that or what how do you get by that? What, the CTE? Yeah. Yeah. I just choose not to think about it. I think everyone's brain is going to react differently to getting hit repeatedly over and over again. It's going to be different for everybody. So I don't think you can take too much stock and, you know, just the whole sport as a, you know, and it's an entirety because everyone's different. Well, you encourage your kids to play. Yeah. Okay. Well, first of all, just one metric that's factual I would put in and then why I come down inside and Dan asked a great question. That's where I was going to go to. They know it's 33 to 38% are going to end up with CTE of some form or another probably in their 40s or always 50s. So it's pretty established and it is football more than any sport that I'm not saying it's not like a thing, but I'm saying like you did say like a third of the players will probably end up with something a little bit more hoping you're that other two thirds. Yeah, but watching this gives me because I know what's going to happen. But you don't. You don't necessarily know. I know one third of them are. Yeah, sure. Well, that's a lot. It is. And it's not like, look, if they walk, they can't run when they're done playing or bend over too easily. You got a lot of money, suck it up. Yeah. This is a price. It's like issues like that where I think players go like, oh, it's the CTE. It's my brain, you know, not, you know, firing and all cylinders. I think a lot of, I don't want to say CTE is like over hyped, but I think a lot of players just, you know, they have debilitating stuff after they retire, you know, down the line. And they want to blame, you know, CTE brain injuries when I don't think that's necessarily always the case. They have their brain. They have their brain. They're low. Well, I mean, I mean, Y check's case, obviously it's cut and dry. I mean, a lot of them, they have about a thousand brains now over the course. So calling it a JAMA study was 99% of brains from deceased NFL players and 91% of deceased college football players. They were found CTE. See, I don't know about the college thing, but that was a 21% to Henry's point. So you would let them play high school football? Absolutely. Yeah. Dan. If my child came to me with the desire, then sure, I'd let him do it, but I wouldn't push him towards it. Okay. I would really try to dissuade DJ and Luke or basketball. They never, I didn't have to deal. We didn't know about it then either though. Let me ask you this. Yeah. If there's 21% of high school football players get CTE. Right. What if I told you 17% of the time you drink red wine, you might get cancer. Yeah. Well, if you could prove that, then I have to look at that. Work in that into a moment, let it up. You know, it's so bad. I was even thinking of trying white wine this week. And then I thought, what the hell, white wine, give me a break. I would never be caught back there. Dan, you were a white wine drink. I'm a huge white wine drinker. Oh my God. Last night, I actually had some grapefruit muscato from a local winery that you enroll in. It was really good. Oh, over in Hamilton. Yeah. It starts with the tea. Yeah. Yeah. Thomas Sow other great folks. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Blueberry muscato. Where'd you get a grapefruit muscato? Oh, grapefruit. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. By the way, I had your tea. I said it was excellent. Yeah. I did. Oh, yeah. Good. I'm happy. Yeah. Very good. Yeah. Awesome. So Henry, then you stick into your guns here, though. They can play high school football. Yeah, absolutely. Because it's different. Like you've ever played against someone who's going to play, you know, division one football, or this guy's the man, you know, they're on it. They move faster. They move in a different plane than everyone else. So obviously, their hits are going to be a lot worse than you would see on the average football field or high school. Well, I mean, I contend from what I see, the problem is you're never going to be safe in the NFL. No, it's not so much just their size. They move too fast and colliding at that speed. You're always going to have everyone's the best athlete in the country. Right. And you're going to have CTE in numbers that are appalling. I agree. I just, but that's, that's the risk. It's harder and harder for me to watch that. Really? I don't think it's you with something Henry just said. Yeah. I don't know if football players are the best athletes in the country. They're not. Pro basketball players are. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I disagree with that. Yeah. Who are? Football players. Oh, if we really pro wrestlers, we'd be so much better at every other sport if we cut out football. I mean, soccer included, like that would make soccer relevant in the United States as if we had these great athletes going to play on the pitch. Yeah, the lane, lane, John, I go to play soccer. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I still think pro basketball players, just look at them versus football players. It's a big difference, really. All right. You can get in. Is that trouble you? I mean, it's going to be enormous this weekend, the numbers. And particularly with the team, we have a radio station just built on this. It's a sports station, but in Philadelphia, it couldn't there be any place where football is more revered. It just fits beautifully. But you see a guy like Y check now, you see this constantly CTE, which it's not so much just at the end of life. It's what happens to them as they degenerate. It could be suicidal. They just can't do anything else, et cetera. What a risk. And if you know that now, well, at least you're informed 855-8-3-9-12. What's the chance someone makes it to the NFL? I mean, you know, like when you get to the level of making tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars, it's hard for me to feel bad for a lot of people to be quite honest. I feel at that rate, you're paying someone to put their bodies on the line. Yeah, I agree with putting your body on the line. But when you're talking, I don't agree with putting your brain on the line. That I just get really worried about. Yeah. The rest of your body, you're right. That's what you're paid for. Yeah. But the college level, the stat you had, Dan, that's the thing. I don't know if I buy that, that number, had CTE at the college level. I can buy that just the amount of good athletes that are coming through with the five-year player window now, all the JUCO transfers not affecting their eligibility. The talent pool has gotten so much greater in the last, I don't know how many years that it's-- It's a lot. Yeah, but they're moving at, they're catching up to the NFL. I want to say they're on that level and not even close, but they're slowly moving that way in terms of speed, athleticism, all that. I just want to say that, I'm sorry, the report I was referring to was the JAMA medical journal report that came out of University of Boston a couple of years ago. Oh, yeah, that's the center for this. Yeah, our Boston University CTE center. So 91% college. I guess because this is such a nasty disease, again, when you see somebody who's a former player, they can't think they might be suicidal, they're depressed, they're movements, it's the worst of dementia, Lou Gehrig's disease for years, it seems like. All right, 855-839-1210, you get in, we're coming to you next on Talk Radio 1210. All right, I'm here to show 855-839-1210, Roger Stone coming up at two o'clock. Advisor to Nixon, this is Nixon's birthday, would have been 112, that's the side question today. And why he's coming about President Trump and what he sees going forward, Dom's money melody, really interesting one today, we'll get to that also. Let's try Joe in boarding town though. Hey, Joe, good afternoon. What do you have today? Good afternoon. My answer to the side question is Norm McDonald. And one time he was guest hosting for Dennis McDonald radio show. And I called in and he said, I sounded like Buffalo Bill from San Francisco, Maryland. Yeah, I would agree with that. Definitely, there's a definite accent issue there. I would agree with that. All right, Joe in Columbus, back to back, Joe. Who do you have? You got to keep following me up with from Joe from boarding town. That's a hard follow up, Dom. I can I talk about these five or five fires for sure go right ahead. It's nothing short of pure negligence. And outside the obvious warnings, Trump gave Newsome and you know, there's obvious things I worked in California for three months after the 89 earthquake. And it's a fact everything from San Jose, South California is a desert number one. Number two, all they had to do was monitor the reservoir out there in Nevada that feeds Los Angeles and Lake Todd. I forget that it slips my mind, but they saw that reservoir dropping. It's down 60, 70, 80 feet now. Well, and they had Joe to your point. They had an inordinate amount of rain last year, and they just allowed it to dissipate. Yeah, the problem is, you're a container, Dom. You don't have any Republican there. Criminal negligence is the way to go here to charge somebody or a bunch of them. With that, that's the only way you can do anything. And wasn't it Trump that was warning them? They said decades ago, you better do something about this now. In addition to getting rid of all the scrub brush and everything, there's a myriad of proof and evidence here that it was negligence and nothing but negligence. Oh, yeah, that's exactly what it is. I don't know if anybody in power though who would charge them with that Joe and the taxpayers will end up paying for the rebuild and then plus whatever people win in a civil suit, it'll be billions upon billions. Right, right. Yeah, we pay for others mistakes. Absolutely. Who's your person? My guy, although I can't quite understand if cadence most of the time is Christopher Walken. That is a very interesting one when it comes to cadence, not like Nixon, but a cadence, definitely. So all right, Joe, thank you for that. Let's take Chris in South Jersey. Chris, who's yours? Hey, down mine is the incomparable Paul Harvey with his faith in closing line of and that is the rest of the story. Absolutely. Harvey's so popular they used to put him on at noon for the first 15 minutes of talk rate. I was at WWDB when they did it. All right, we'll take more on that. Roger Stone is next. We'll have a couple of other things to coming up this hour. Here's how you get in 855-839-1210. You get on board. The outcome in LA, will people actually now think about this the next time they vote? You had a viable Republican there. This guy Caruso, who's a business guy, was successful, is kind of a slightly moderate, conservative Republican billionaire and he did well, but they still put a complete DEI person in there and Karen Bass, who did not get the vice presidential role. So they said, okay, let's put her in to be the mayor of LA, where she's from. You see, but the results are it's not only her, it's the whole infrastructure there, including Newsom on down, the fire commissioner, just at any level. They're not about protecting you. You couldn't possibly have confidence. So why do people vote for that? Well, they believe it'll never come down to that. They want to vote for somebody who ideologically they agree with. They agree with DEI. They think that's a way to go. You see what the results are. How can anyone deny what the results are? You still want to vote for it. Okay. Don't deny the results. Well, it's climate. Really, climate didn't fill up the reservoirs. 855-839-12. 10. 1210-W-Ph-D. Tom Giordano on talk radio 1210-W-Ph-D. When Philadelphia is talk radio 1210-W-Ph-D-W-Ph-D-H-D-W-G-L-E-D-3, Philadelphia. Always live on the free Odyssey app. It's Dom Time. Now, Dom Giordano. It is Dom Time. I mean, who else would you like to have on the anniversary of the death? Well, this would be the birthday of Richard Nixon. 112 he would have been today. And we played his voice. That's a side question. But somebody who was such an advisor to him, it's rumored that he does have the tattoo of Nixon. I never got to see it when we did a politics in pints with Roger Stone. But I did see great fashion up close and personal. I don't think anybody has more pinstripe suits and more martinis than Roger Stone, who is still one of the great advisors. And what's that documentary is the title. I didn't look at it, Dan, is it who's Roger Stone, who's Roger Stone, fantastic stuff. Yeah, but there are three parts. Who's Roger Stone? Get Roger Stone. Who was Roger Stone? All right, he's with us here on Talk Radio 1210. Roger, welcome back to Philadelphia. Thank you for joining us. Dom, great to be back with you. Oh, you almost had it is. Who is Roger Stone? Get me Roger Stone. Get me a Roger Stone type. Who is Roger Stone type? The four cycles of fame. Which one would you go ahead, Roger? It's great to be back with you again. It is fitting because today, January 9th, 1913, the most durable American politician in American history, the man who prior to Trump had staged the greatest political comeback in American political history, Richard Nixon, was born. And it is a great irony that the many accomplishments of Nixon are basically completely overlooked in the ashes of Watergate. And now, as more and more documents become declassified, we learned that CIA was well aware of the Watergate break-in plan, had infiltrated it with four active agents. And the big media who had hated Nixon since he nailed Alger Hiss as a Russian communist spy in the house were complicit in the takedown. It was very similar to what they tried to do to Trump and failed. There are parallels, but the difference is this, Roger. I think Nixon is more amazing. I never was up close with him like I've been with Trump and a few of these other guys in that how could a guy, Monica Crowley's different, and I'll ask you this, that's socially awkward, brilliant beyond belief coming from a poor background, not once but twice. Really, he won the presidency three times. It was stolen truly in 1960. And he had to contend with the Kennedys, and yet he beat them. Anyone the greatest lens flag to the state American history, the only man to carry 49 to 50 states once the most popular president in history, and then within a year brought low by Watergate. It has to do with his personal tenacity, his discipline. He was an introvert in an extrovert's business. He was not graceful like John Kennedy or comfortable in the old skin, but he was dogged. He was persistent. He played the college football, spent most of his time on the bench. When he did play, he was a tackle dummy, but he did it with great enthusiasm. Nixon also, by the way, played the piano, the organ, the violin, the saxophone, the clarinet, and the accordion, but it never had any musical training and could not read music, but was proficient on all of them. Wow. That is stunning stuff. So when did you start to advise Richard Nixon? Well, I didn't know him. I worked in his 1972 campaign. I was the youngest member of the committee to re-elect the president, but that's not the period in which I got to know him. I met him once at that time, famously shook his hand the way Bill Clinton shook John Kennedy's hand at Junior Achievement or Youth State or whatever it was. But in his post-president two years, he had invited me to Saint Clemente when I was elected the Young Republican National Chairman in 1977, and I predicted to him then that Ronald Reagan, not John Connolly, would be the presidential nominee in 1980. Nixon told me I was wrong. I said, no, I'm right. Well, he remembered the conversation and invited me back. And then when John Whitaker, who had been a Vice President at IT&T and kind of handled Nixon's scheduling and some political obligations retired, Nixon asked me if I were to assist his Chief of Staff and John Taylor, kind of doing political chores, evaluating it, speaking engagements, passing messages to senators and congressmen. I spent a good amount of time inside a river and on his house in his house in the upper east side. Nixon was a man who didn't, you know, wasn't very retrospective. It was hard to get him to talk about Kennedy or Eisenhower or Ubert Humphrey or Algerists or getting stoned in Caracas or the 62th campaign for governor. But after he had a couple cocktails, martinis, he would become very, very loquacious. And you could learn many things. It was in a conversation that I first began to fully believe that Lyndon Johnson played a malicious role, was probably the, according to my book, I think, make the case, the chief architect of the murder of John Kennedy. Wow. But Roger now parallels with advising Donald Trump. How do you advise Donald Trump? How do you take the good? We have Bill O'Reilly on the show. We're friends, Roger. And he says he's had conversations with Trump, where Trump says he wants to be a Mount Rushmore President asking O'Reilly in the second term, how do I do that? That's a great stride. That Trump that focuses is amazing. How do you keep him though on track? It's really, it's really pretty simple. They're very, very different. Next to him was very buttoned down, very, there was a very tight operation around him. Access to him was limited in his presidential years. And I knew invested in his post president's years, obviously. Trump is very much his own man. He's not handled. He's not managed. He's not scripted. He does it his way, as an actual would say. And it's, it has brought him the greatest comeback in American political history. I mean, I think his winning is a, and winning this big is a testimony to his grit and stamina and his courage and his strength, his persistence, his resilience. And I really believe America could be on the cusp of a new golden age. We'll call it the age of Trump, an age of unprecedented peace, prosperity, security and justice, along with law and order. I really think America's greatest days are ahead because he's won this election. Without a doubt, I'm reading some of your stuff going after rhinos and you have a curious target, at least the public persona. But I hear your point with the senator from Oklahoma, big guy who was going to fight the head of the teamsters and one of those unions. You see him as just a poser. Well, I mean, Mark Wayne Mullen was smart enough to endorse Donald Trump early. So he, you know, but other than that, in truth, he voted for John Thune, the, the, the rhino, my majority leader, who I don't think is a tough enough negotiator over Rick Scott, Senator from Florida, Trump loyalist. He, you know, he has this kind of macho man image. He continues to defend this Capitol Hill police officer who shot and killed Ashley Babbitt. Ashley Babbitt was an unarmed US Air Force combat veteran, decorated veteran, menacing no one, shot and unarmed and shot and killed without warning. And Senator Mark Wayne Mullen continues to defend that, which I think is indefensible. Like to me, that's, that's, that's cold blooded murder. There was no triggering event. I think she was shot and killed at random. And I just think that he's, you know, he's not really who claims to be. He claims to be, you know, a Trump guy, but right first, he says he's not for cash Patel, a crucial nominee for FBI director, then after pressure he backs off, then he says he doesn't like Matt Gaetz, but then suddenly he likes Matt Gaetz, even though Matt Gaetz withdrew. So yeah, I think he's, he's playing a role. The guy was a plumber. He's never, he's never been in combat, but he's got this swash buckling image that he has, that he's cultivated. He won the seat by taking a TV ad that Trump had made for him when he's running for re-election the house, swamping the air with it, air with it, giving people in practice Trump had endorsed him. Trump likes him. He's kind of the kind of big bluff guy Trump likes, particularly when he's blowing smoke up trumps. Yeah, yeah. You know, exactly. So Roger for listeners, what's Roger Stone doing now? I see you read John sub stack. I see you on Twitter. What are you up to? Well, I'm very active. I mean, I have a daily show you can see on rumble.com called the stone called the stone zones every weekday or 8 p.m. Eastern. You all I also do a syndicated radio show out of 77 W ABC in New York and Red Apple Audio Network. We're on now in most major markets in the United States. I do three hours a week on politics, news, history, style, food, everything that we feel like talking about any given week, mostly politics, of course. Yeah. But I got to get you your biggest fashion tip. You are the always impressed me with that. And you've written a lot about it. The worst dressed in the you know, I think it was get me Roger Stone that gave me the confidence to wear pastel suits to be. Oh, yeah. But Roger, I got to tell you, I don't see Tucker Carlson as a fashion icon. And I think you did recently. Come on now. No, Tucker Carlson's got the kind of you've got kind of what we call a an Ivy League Spezatura. Spezatura is an Italian term that means it looks like you haven't thought about what you're putting on, but it still looks pretty good. She's not aspiring to be a dandy. He throws together all these kind of Ivy League classics, the blue blazer, the khaki slacks, the red duck pants. He got rid of his bow ties, which I've argued with about it. I like somebody he abandoned them. But I think he's got his own kind of peppy, super peppy look. And you you heard my producer, you ever heard my producer Dan? So the pastel suit. I got to ask Roger question. Yeah, because you have a big bone to pick with Brian Kilming and others on Fox News for the whole look that I perpetuate that the suit pants with a pair of sneakers. Roger Stone, can you pull up sneakers with suit pants? Yeah, I'm not true. It's true. I can look, every man has to have his own style. Well, you just just I do wears obviously completely up to you. And you know, at least you're wearing good looking suits. I'm not down with the sneakers. I think it's a passion for a pause. So everyone can kind of do a nice answer. It's about developing an independent style. I just respect everybody just like me. Not everybody suggests like you. You got to kind of do your own thing. It's about having your style spot and doing it with style. It's like, I think we can all agree that the world would be a better place if everybody did dress like Roger Stone on a regular. Oh, well, exactly. Yeah, exactly. Right. Roger football games with. Yeah. Yeah. Well, well, Roger, glad to hear rumble, sub stack all over the place. And then of course you'd go to stone zone.com. That's my headquarters. Okay. Stone zone.com. You can find it all right there. Roger, thank you. Thanks for coming on today as always. God bless you and get ready to make America great again. Thank you. Nixon impersonation here at the end with it. Oh my gosh. I actually pulled from the jackpar show. Yeah. YouTube.com slash at 12 to W. Ph.D. Richard Nixon, such a good musician. He actually wrote piano concertos. Here's Richard Nixon performing on the piano is piano concerto number one on the jackpar show. Take a listen. Can you imagine Danny said he played six instruments? I didn't know that about Nixon. It's impressive. I can't read enough about Nixon. I just finished another biography. He just brilliant. The Kennedys did him in and Lyndon Johnson and yet still two times president of the United States. That's a and look Trump. You can see why Trump's a natural for this, but Nixon. Hi God. All right. Phone lines are 855-839-1210. Hit us with that all time vocal style. Allah Richard Nixon today would have been a hundred and twelve. But first it is time for it. It's stopped. Money and money. All right. We are playing today for a pair of tickets to the Philadelphia Auto Show at the Pennsylvania Convention Center January 11 to 20th for tickets and more information. Visit Philly Auto Show dot com. All right. So today, now we're asking for distinct voices and Henry and I spent way too long trying to find one that would work for this. Way too long. Yeah, we wanted distinct voice that very distinct but maybe not so much in this particular instance. Take a listen. We want to know who's singing today. [Music] Hit us with that singer and you're off to the great Philly Auto Show coming this weekend. Here's how you do it. 855-839-1210. 855-839-1210. You get on board. That's right. We're looking today for who is singing this song that has a distinctive style vocal arrangement etc. Let's hear the clue. [Music] Hi, let's go to Gary in Springfield. Let's see out of the box if he gets it. Gary, who's singing there? Hey, Dom, is it Christopher Walken? Yes, it is. All right, pretty distinctive. I love how excited Gary is it? Yeah, exactly. Gary, nice play. You are off to the Philadelphia Auto Show. Pair of tickets at the Pennsylvania Convention Center January 11 to the 20th. Tickets and more information. Visit Philly Auto Show dot com. All right. Side question today, distinctive voice like Christopher Walken style vocal. Not just a good voice, but something distinctive is what we're looking for. Now, yesterday, and I want to play John Federman again from yesterday because there's an update on this whole thing. The Lake and Riley Act, they did find enough Democrats now to go along with it, to sponsor it. It will be before the Senate, I think, now or shortly. The House has already passed it even though three women in the suburbs here, Congress women, rejected protecting particularly women from this alien invasion, illegal invasion, people that killed Lake and Riley. All it would do is keep them in jail until we're ready to deport them. Here's what Federman said, then I'll tell you the update from Hoehen, Congresswoman Hoehen. Here's Federman talking to Bret Baer, cut one. So what do you say to that? You've sent on to this bill? Well, I mean, I have a lot of enormous respect for my colleague in the House, but I just happen to disagree on this. And for me, just like my friend and colleague in the Senate, it's really common sense. And I'd like to remind everybody that we have hundreds and hundreds of thousands of migrants here illegally that have convicted of crimes. And I don't know why, you know, who wants to defend to allow them to remain in our nation through that? And now if you're here illegally and you're committing crimes and those things, I don't know why anybody thinks that it's controversial that they all need to go. Do you think that this was one of, if not the biggest issue for this election? Well, I think if we can't, you know, there's 47 of us in the Senate, and if we can't pull up with seven votes, if we can't get at least seven out of 47, and if we can't, then that's the reason why we lost. That's one of them. That's one of why we lost, in part. All right. So that's Federman. We played that yesterday since then. They have it, so it's going to move forward in the Senate. I also now have the statement, Madeline Dean and Mary Gay Scanlan know the local media is not going to make a big deal out of it. I don't know what they do make a big deal out of it. When you realize that this passed overwhelmingly, we now have Democrats who have signed on, so it comes to a vote to Federman's point, that Boil, Congressman Boil from Northeast Philadelphia voted for this bill to protect us from those that mean criminal behavior and/or killing you that are here illegally. Then why does the local media not zone in on someone like Coolahan who put out this statement? There's a reason why HR 29, the Laken Riley Act, is the first bill we're voting in on this Congress, and it's not immigration reform. Here we go again with the typical dodge, comprehensive immigration reform. She says that HR 29 is carefully written to intentionally erode constitutional protections beginning with undocumented immigrants. In other words, this clown in Chester County, you voters there, is not only saying it's she's against this because it's unconstitutional for people that are here illegally, but this is the Republican road to taking away our rights, something that would keep these people in jail for a crime safe committed, not let them out as happen in the case of these two guys in Georgia who killed Laken Riley until we deport them. They're here illegally. That's going to erode your rights. More importantly, talk radio is the only one in this area. Maybe the inquirer might write it and like it, but the rest of the media doesn't think people should be informed on this. This is a big vote. This is a very telling thing to the point of Federman. That's what the last election was about. You would think this would be a matter of debate. She goes on to say, I encourage people to read the text, which clearly shows how the bill removes the right to do process. Trump promised these kinds of dangerous changes, and the Republicans in Congress are desperately trying to satisfy him regardless of the implications of their legislation. This bill is not about immigration reform, and that's why I voted no. We need immigration reform legislation, which I have supported time and again. I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the out of crap, support, and past legislation. Common sense. Here we go again. Immigration reform. All right. Could it be out in Chester County? It's not just her, but it's some Republicans, and it's the people that are the Chester County development board, you know, the business operation there. We heard from Neil Young who ran against her yesterday that when they sat him down for endorsement, the first thing or one of the first things they asked, you know, well, we have a lot of people working here that are undocumented migrants. We don't want to ruffle that, right? Is that what it is? Everybody's in on this together. And if one of those people out there in Chester County, the mushroom farms and the like, if they're a drunk driver and kill someone, or if they are criminally involved, they commit some crime. They don't care. Isn't that what they're telling you? We heard from Neil Young, where are the other voices? Now, with Madeline Dean, she didn't even answer, needed to marry gay Scanlan. Again, doesn't it come back to both the media, the Republican Party, and just the voters? Are they unaware of somebody? John Fetterman, six other, I think it's six other Democrat senators voted to move this along in the Senate. Any number of them have voted for it, like Brendan Boyle in Northeast Philadelphia, and yet somehow or another, a simple act. Yeah, we're calling it the Lake and Riley Act because we want to emphasize this. This young woman was savagely attacked. They ended up killing her by hitting her over the head with a giant rock or something after she fought them off. They never should have been here. They never should have gotten out of jail once we got them. They should never have been traveling around, emigrating to Georgia through the Biden administration. And we ought to be hell-bent to stop every one of them and get every one of them out of the country. But no, that would take away their constitutional rights. Just imagine this maniac in the face of the death of Lake and Riley telling us we're just trying to steal constitutional rights. And even worse, the cabal out there in Chester County, these people who think they're insulated from this, to say, yeah, we're fine with that. We need these people on those mushroom farms and whatever else they're doing out there in Chester County. So we don't care what you say. We're going to continue to do this. And guess what? We have ample number of Republicans that are going to look the other way, which brings us to the big moment. I know it feels like forever. It's only a week away from Monday when Trump is sworn in, comes out today that he's going to do a hundred executive orders on the first day. That's what the news seems to be. And one of them will go back to that policy 42 to keep people in Mexico vis-a-vis COVID, the irony of it. But what is in the mind? Is it the people in the suburbs just don't have time to hear this stuff because of media? How much media coverage is there? Unless you listen to talk radio, the inquire puts it in in a completely different way. You wouldn't know that whole hand boldly is trying to tell people they're better off if they're not protected from these menaces, particularly I'm zoning in on Chester County. That might have the highest number of people. I'm not sure about that per capita that might be here illegally just because of the industries that are there. I don't know. There might be industries in Bucks County more so than that. But I immediately think of the farming, the mushroom, the whole deal. And when you young said that yesterday, it's a listener to the guy that ran against her when he did the interview with her with them to get the endorsement. That's what they want to know. They seem to want to know, well, you're not going to be ruffling the feathers here of what we have gone. We need these people. You're going to hear that when the deportation starts. Why in the world, Houlihan? And then to lecture us, now, Gai-Shiraki wrote a great piece. Gai-Shiraki's unbelievable new research about Houlihan. And he says that Houlihan is the classic. She has that Liz Cheney face, my words, and she's constantly embodying so-called moderation, consensus building, the tonality, the sound. But he says, Houlihan worked in the private sector and belonged to the problem solvers caucus. She is breathlessly loyal, though, to Biden as Casey is. She's even worse. She voted with Biden 99.1% of the time, 99.1%. And he talks about Houlihan, main claim to fame, working as an executive at a sneaker operation that brought things in from communist China, just like Madeline Dean, the husband with the bikes from communist China. This is classic. Have people in the suburbs just become dumb? They're so busy earning a living because of inflation, Biden and all. They don't have time and their sensibilities. Now, look, I blame the Republican parties in a lot of these places. They sometimes suck. Gotta tell you that. They're ineffective. Over in Delaware County. I mean, I like the guys when Dan gets them on, you know, some of these, but I don't think they're an effective party. They just raised taxes by 23%. What's in the water there that they can effectively take back the suburbs, at least to some degree? They're overwhelmed in the suburbs. Even Bucks County, it's two to one. I mean, look at Marsaguia. Look at the stuff she was boldly enough to say. But this Houlihan vote is even worse. Do you feel your constitutional rights? They're trying to take them away. And this is just the start. They come for the illegal aliens today. It'll be you tomorrow. That's what Republicans are up to. That's what she's saying. When really what it is, we're trying to protect people until Trump has a chance to turn this around. This battle is going to be fought big to all they're waiting for is some scene with some child, with something that happens, and then they're going to hope to stop Trump in his tracks. You may remember, this was the separation of children thing and all that, exactly what Obama did at the beginning of the Trump term. In 2017, it happened. Catholic Church jumps in, wants to excommunicate people. Not going to be easy to do this stuff. Not going to be easy to build a wall. You got to start this time around. I think Trump gets that right from the opening gone. But it would help if the local Republican parties could use something. I see this as an issue that you got to be nuts to be on the other side of. Are they that insulated in horse country though? They don't feel anything's going to happen to them. So who cares what these people that are here legally due to the rest of us? Is that it? Does it have to hit home? Before you say, you know what? This woman's dead, just because they're here. That's exactly what happened. All right, phone lines are 855-839-1210. Get in on the side question two here on Talk Radio 1210. All right, time to your down-o show. So it's the age old problem here and it's about winning Pennsylvania too. The suburbs around Philadelphia, you get it in Philadelphia. Inroads were made there. Inroads a little bit this time around in the suburbs with the national Republican stuff. How in the world such a consequential vote? And I'm looking. I don't see coverage, local Chester County. I don't see news media here on something like this. And trying to make the argument, it's about taking away constitutional rights. Not only of people here illegally, but Americans ultimately. And who in hand is the, you can't use the word moderate with these people, but she's more so than the insufferable Madeline Dean and her partner in crime, Scanlan. And she's boldly out there. Yeah, that's right. I have voted against this. Well, how do we explain these other people like Fetterman, Brendan Boyle? Are they voting to take away your constitutional rights and six other Democrat senators now? So I think this bill is going to pass. Can't Republicans here locally make this case make some noise? Let's go to John and Blue Bell. John, you're on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, John. Hey, Dom, thanks for taking my call. You're welcome. I wanted to, um, a friend of mine, her father actually passed away two days after Christmas, was driving down the road in Chester County. They're from Tenet Square. Great man, 82 years old, grandfather. I think great grandfather at this point, but very involved in church. A migrant went across the median in his pickup truck and head on collision into him, killed him. My friend's sister was in the car. She ended up having a broken back, broken ribs. This guy was a migrant worker, Gonzales, or something like that. And he actually was arrested in November for drunk driving. Nothing was done about it. Finally, he's obviously committed manslaughter. So this is very true down in Tenet Square, the mushroom capital of the world. Migrants are, you know, big down there, but it's disgusting. It's got to stop. It is. And, you know, it just rang with me when Neil Young who ran against Houlihan brought that up with the Chester County board, the people that are their business community. That's what they're interested in here, John. So it's not just Democrats, but I blame the media in this too, you know, the local papers, the local stuff. Do they know that Houlihan voted this way, for example, and are the people in the suburbs actually that far gone that they think this is a constitutional question for people that would do damage like this migrant you talked about? Absolutely. I think it's disgusting. You know, I think it comes down to also, let's start to do what they were doing with the buses right in front of, you know, Harris's house. Why don't we drop these folks off at Madeline Dean's house? Hey, here's a couple migrants. They've only committed a couple crimes. You take them, you know, put them in your garage or whatever you, whatever you have to do with them. No, that's exactly right. Thank you, John, or her mansion. She used to have one at the shore. Yeah, that's exactly right. I had a business thing yesterday, and the guy, real insider, big project I'm working on was talking about Governor Abbott, he knows, and how Abbott took on in Texas, Republicans and Democrats on school choice, but Abbott, what he did was both brilliant politically, and morally, it's a correct thing. Why should people in Texas and border states have to suffer this? People willing to come Chicago now, and that's what's going to happen on the first day under the gun. They can't handle it, but it's it's the complicity out there because, you know, if they were being honest in Chester County, they would say, well, we want to have these businesses. Do you want us to go out of business? Here we go again with this. We're going to put up with this type of stuff, and I've never seen a study that indicates it, but it seems to me you have people, you have young men that are here working in these conditions, what's the recreation, get drunk, drive, and in many of the countries they come from, drunk driving is not treated like we do it here. So over the years, I've seen umpteen examples of this. Well, that's the price of doing business. But to say, as this woman does, this is about the Constitution, just think about that. That's what this election was about. Republicans have to do better in the suburbs, though. They can't make this case. Oh, that scene is just Trump. That scene is xenophobia. Now, these are real stories. Lake and Riley and her family are real people, and there are hundreds of them. Well, we have our own criminals. True. Bottom line is though, we don't need people here legally that are doing this either. At least we can start there. So hopefully, I'm thinking the first week, a couple thousand are deported immediately around this. There's any number of them that have violated stuff again and again and again and again, like the guy on the subway who just emulated a woman who was sleeping after working the broken subway. It was a couple weeks ago, last 10 days. Why do we need them here? Well, we want them to work. We're willing to put up of this stuff. We want them to work under the table. We want them just like the HB one visa. Trump's wrong. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami are completely wrong. It's un-American what they're proposed and we don't need them. You know, Democrats try to tell us all the time. We're not the best and the brightest anymore ever were. Why do we need a Vivek Ramaswami to be saying that really? Out of America, we don't have enough people at the high end. India is not going to beat us. We're America. We don't need Republicans telling this when we have enough Democrats doing that. Let's go to, let's see. Let's go to Gary in Newtown. Hey, Gary. Good afternoon. Hey, Tom. Good afternoon. Good show as always. Thank you, Gary. I don't want to rain on your president Nixon parade. He's a little bit before my time, but he's also responsible for the high fructose, high fructose corn syrup. Oh, wait a minute. Dan perked up in his seat. I don't like to get him out. The high fructose. That's it. Get Nixon out. No more mention of Nixon. Yeah, no more. No more. We're not talking about him anymore. Yeah, no. Go ahead, Gary. Why do you blame Nixon for that? It's not a matter of blame. It's his administration where it's kind of like Ronald Reagan is responsible for the pharmaceuticals not being allowed to be sued, right? It's the same thing. It was his administration that someone came and said, "Oh, we got this great idea. We're going to subsidize the corn farmers and what we're going to do is we're going to make products really, really cheap." As a result, it was high fructose corn syrup. Well, that is a driver. I mean, there's no doubt. It's one thing when you do it in Iowa to get their vote because of gas and all that stuff. But when you do it with food, yeah. Well, look, if Robert Kennedy Jr. just focuses on that, I've said it many times, he's going to have the biggest legacy. If he's all over the place, we're not going to get anything done. My understanding is that he's also responsible for the rise of China. He's the one that got China in the favored status, my understanding. No, he opened up the door. I don't know about that, the favored status. I think that came later with other people that sold us out more. Nixon did break through with them trying to use them against Russia. At least that's the way I see it. Who's your person voice, different pattern? You want the moon? Do you want the moon dollar? Give me the moon? George Bailey. Yes, Jimmy Stewart. Jimmy Stewart, very identifiable, a bit older, true, but he's one of the all time recognizable vocal presentation before your time. But Jimmy Stewart is here. Yeah. Well, I mean, Jimmy Stewart was more like out of the godfather. That's the way he did it. It was a little bit different. Yeah. All right. It is the lightning round next. It is with that. It's not just the voice. And Ron, I do want to hear that non-alcoholic wine option. Nothing wrong with the wine. I don't know why we're suddenly on this now. The preservatives and everything else. I'm going to bring your own bottle this weekend. And I don't think I'm bringing white wine. You just can't imagine. Yes. What's your favorite white wine to him? Pinot Grigio. Okay. Yeah. All right. That's a Scott Presler. Sauvignon Blanc. Okay. Yeah. You know what? My wife's a big soft, wonky. Okay. Yeah. Now see, that's what I associate with headaches versus the red. But I know there are people that get, yeah. Yeah. Like I like to try white. Okay. I talked about the grapefruit mosquito earlier. That's right. That's really good. Thomas Ellis. Yeah. 855-839-1210. Jump in. Be heard. Get your name into the hat. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning round. All right. That's exactly right. Richard Nixon, 112, if alive today. Hit us with that great distinctive vocal pattern. Doesn't have to be a great voice necessarily. Let's go to JB in Southampton. Who's yours, JB? Happy New Year, Tonya, Doug Rums. This is a joke talking. I don't always drink Polish beer, but when I do, you'll bet you're dope. I drink it with my Polish buddies down at the Pollock Club. Hey, I'm a Polish to sit. So I got to come to your rescue so far. All right. There you go. It wasn't Joe aborted down with the whole thing. All right. That's pretty good. That's in the spirit of it. John in Westchester. John, who's yours? Hello, Tom. How are you guys doing? Good. Good. First of all, stag leap Artemis cabaret is the wine you want to take this weekend, okay? It's smooth. It's velvety. And yet it has a bold little taste to it. So that was the stag leaf. Stag leap Artemis. Ah, okay. Okay. Second, it's Malays is the problem in Chester County. And we have no media out here. That's why. We have no paper of any real value. Right. And the inquirer with support rule of hand anyway. And third, they should be using reclaimed water from the wastewater treatment plants on a separate system in California. So they have fire protection that isn't based on rainfall and everything else. Now my voice is Bobcat Goldthwaite from Police Academy and Scrooge with Bill Murray. Very distinctive vocal pattern. He's a comedian, director, producer. Very distinctive. So very good. Thank you, John. Thanks for the wine selection. I'll see if that that meets muster. Or Dan may have another selection. We'll have to put up her vote tomorrow. You can always hit me with wine selections. I'm always interested in that. The Earl of Tacconi is next on Talk Radio 12, Dan. All right, Earl. What do you have today? Well, Dom, I was having a diner having lunch today. And I saw the Jimmy Carter funeral. And everyone's talking about how if you didn't have Jesus, you'd have Jimmy Carter. He's a Christian. He's a very religious man. They had all these pastors talking about him. And then at the end, they had Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood singing the communist anthems. Imagine by John Lennon, where there's no religions and there's no possessions and there's no countries. That's like, are they that tone death? That, you know, here it is, we're celebrating a man, you know, with, you know, high morals and religious standards. And then sing a song to honor him by saying that there is no God. You know what? That is a great. And yeah, who knows who is it that gets in there and goes down that path? Who's your voice, Earl? I have two. One's not going to qualify because no one knows who he is. I was going to say Harris Yulin. He's an extremely well known voice. If you've ever seen him, he was the judge and goes busters too. Because nobody knows who Harris Yulin is. I'm going to go with a man who's actually in the dictionary that has his own unique style of talking. And that would be your friend. We have sent him for a check. All right, thank you very much. I never noticed that in interviews, but now that he mentioned it, I can see that. Bruce in the Northeast is back with us. He's well, he's back. Hey, Bruce, how you doing? Hey, what's up? I recognize that hair anywhere. Where you been, man? Where have you been? Ah, just this usual routine here and there. This and that. You find a girl? It sounds like you found a girl, man. Yes. Oh, I was still looking. He's still kind of lining up with someone. If you get a chance. All right, we will continue this conversation when this work time. Definitely glad to have you back. Who's your voice, Bruce? Yeah, this is you won't remember him if you're under 50, but Waller Brennan was being in western movies. He's got a distinct voice. Yeah. Well, let me, Waller, come over here. Let me put on the phone. Yeah. Jack Naby, this is Waller Brennan listening to that dump here, John, on the radio, that hairy eye town. Very nice. That's a pretty good Brennan. Henry, give me one that you have. All right. Scott and Mount Laurel's Harry Kalis was on board. Okay. Don Giordano from John and Waterford as a 10th grade teacher. Oh, man, you didn't, you didn't like Bruce here on this one. I like Bruce. Yeah. By the way, take one. Okay, I got you. I go with Bruce today. All right. Fit into everything. Bruce goes back. He's back. One of the all-timers. All right, Richie always next with four big hours to take you home here on Talk Radio 1210. Tom Giordano, weekdays, nine till noon. On Talk Radio 1210, WPhD.
