One Philadelphia's talk radio, 1210, WPHD, WPHD, W-H-D-L-E-D-3. Philadelphia, always live on the free Odyssey app. It's Dom Time now, Dom Girdono. All right, Jeff Van Drew, Congressman Van Drew. Got a big promotion. He'll be with us shortly here on the Dom Show. Pope Francis, this guy did not get the memo. Maybe it's in a language that he doesn't speak too well or think too well in. Apparently, all languages. He has just appointed one of the most virulent clergy Cardinals that is anti-Trump. That's right, Cardinal Robert McElroy, a vocal critic of President Trump, particularly on immigration, supporter of migrants, as the bio and LGBT people, consider one of the country's most progressive Catholic leaders to take over in Washington. The appointments, says the Wall Street Journal, signals the Pope's wish, who are more liberal U.S. hierarchy and comes two weeks before Trump takes office. He's put in Washington to be right there in the belly of the beast, installing one of the country's most progressive Catholic leaders to oversee more than 600,000 faithful around the Capitol. He's been an ally to the Pope. He's from San Diego for nearly a decade. The Pope named him a Cardinal in 2022. Now, he's not the guy that said ex-communicado. I think that's another guy. I guess he was unavailable if you were a border agent during the early years of the Trump government, the first term. So, it's going to be interesting to see your Catholics routinely going to hear from this guy when devout Catholic Joe Biden leaves. Amazing stuff. I mean, the rain of Pope Francis, Henry and I have talked about seeing Conclave and not going to give away the ending. I like the film a lot. They essentially just promoted Stanley Tucci here. Am I wrong? Yeah, he's a character. Well, and Stanley Tucci is not as liberal as this guy is based upon what I can say. Oh, really? Because I went in the... Yeah, he's pretty liberal. He's pretty liberal. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't think... I want to believe he's not as liberal as this guy. This guy's got a long history. I don't know. Tucci wasn't propping up illegal immigrants. Maybe that line was unavailable to him in the movie. All right, let's go to Congressman Jeff Van Drew. Congressman, happy new year and congratulations. Thank you, Dom, and happy new year to you and to all your listeners. And hopefully it's going to be a good one. It's going to be a little roller coaster. It's going to be bumpy, but we're going to get good things done. Absolutely. To that point, Judiciary Committee is one of the prime committees to be on. And you will now be the head of the Oversight Subcommittee. What does the Oversight Subcommittee do? Well, this is something I've wanted to do for a while. I want to thank Chairman Jordan for working with me on this. I really appreciate him. I enjoy so much working with him. He really is a true patriot and a good American. So this Oversight Committee is, as Chairman, I'm going to have to review over the FBI, the DEA, the Department of Justice, the Attorney General, the Bureau of Prisons, parts of Homeland Security, and other areas as well. Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. Not only are those, but that's a good substantive part of it. We're going to do a couple things, Dom. I have just two major parts to this. One, dig in and find out what the hell the culture was that allowed so many of the abuses to average everyday Americans take place. You know, I said this to the Attorney General when we had our hearings in the past, in front of the Civil Committee, and I said it to the FBI Director. You know, it used to be they were there to protect us from the bad guys. Now Lee, the good Americans, we need protections from them. It's not going to be that way with the new administration, but I want to find out what in detail, digging deep, what happened in the past, with everything from Russian collusion to the laptop that was supposedly never existed, to, you know, if I can, and we'll have to find if it's my purview, exactly the George Soros connection with prosecutors and attorneys general in these various states. And that we're still researching if that's something I would have purview over. I hope I do. But we're really going to dig into this stuff. And then we are. Yeah, I was just going to give you a one small request, and maybe it's mine, maybe in some ways. But I think to me, it became the face of this when you talk about weaponizing them. The Richmond, and I don't think it just stopped in Richmond branch, putting out that memo, and then they go out and surveil devout Catholics just going to a mass that was in Latin as if they were a potential domestic terrorist, taking license numbers, following up on all them. And Christopher Ray would always stonewall you guys, or the Senate at least, and just say, well, that's a private matter. We're not going to bring them in for testimony. Oh, he did stonewall until we got, and I'm proud of our committee in the house, we got the emails that came out of the Richmond field office. And then even worse, I remember I asked him this specifically. It says etched in my memory. I said, are there other offices? Yes, that's it. And he said, no, only limited to there. Then we got emails, thank God for whistleblowers, that showed it wasn't the only office that they were planning on doing this nationally. Unbelievable, but it's not just that, it's Pfizer. We were spying on good Americans only because they had a difference of opinion. That is not allowed in the United States of America. We allow every opinion. So whether you're liberal conservatives, Republican Democrats, whatever you are, socialist, libertarian, you are allowed to express yourself in America. And they were going after people that were conservative. You know the stories. I mean, we have links between the banks and the FBI and Facebook. It's all complicated, but it all amounts to one thing. If you were buying religious items, if you were buying guns or ammunition, if you were a member of conservative groups, if you were a traditional Roman Catholic, and some say I couldn't get him to admit it. And he got angry with me, which lead me to believe there's some truth. You know, evangelicals as well. Evangelicals and Roman Catholics are strong in their face. Others are too, but I mean particularly those two. So that was awful. And here's the deal, Dom. Did we get there? What allows us to fall that much? And how about Pfizer? Again, what happened, we allow millions of times good Americans to be investigated by the FBI. 50% of the FBI budget is for this kind of stuff. Let's find out where that money is really going. Now, these aren't the agents on the ground. These aren't the agents in your district offices who are good people doing their job, trying to stop bad guys. Here's the deal. Most Americans believe that the FBI and the Attorney General and the Department of justice in the aggregate that are going after bad people, organized crime, disorganized crime, drugs, et cetera. That's good stuff. We need to do that. We need to stop them terrorism. But we need to find out why we're going after or had gone after Americans and set up a system in place regardless of whichever power ever party is in power that this never happens again. Yes. Well, I knew this was an important position, but this is right there at the belly of the beast of what's going on. So really they have the perfect guy for it. We're talking with Congressman Jeff Van Drew. Congressman, the last time you're on, you said something that made news with our listeners. They were heartened to hear it and we're getting only under two weeks away. Thank God to the inauguration about the executive order around wind that would put it on a hiatus and study for six months. Maybe listeners didn't hear it at that point. Tell us what's going to happen, you believe? Well, about a month ago, I spoke with President Trump on this. He said, Jeff, I'm with you. I mean, he kept his word. He said, this was something he said in Wildwood. We had 107,000 people there. He has said it at various locations. He knows how bad this is. Again, for everybody listening. Don't fall into the trap because you think you're a Democrat, that you are for wind. Wind is bad for the environment. They should have been bad for the rate pay or bad for national security. Makes us beholden to foreign countries. It is the worst deal for America ever. It really is. So, when I spoke to him about a month ago, we said, Jeff, I'm with you. Make me an executive order. So we got right down to it. I've got some good people in my office. One gentleman by the name of Haddon and Nuchi was working with me on this wind issue for years. My chief of staff, Alison Murphy. We got an executive order done for him in 48 hours. I then spoke with Doug Bergen, who he instructed me to speak with. He was going to be the new secretary of interior who got it. He was a landing team in interior and having their attorneys review it. Make sure that we've lost every T and dotted every I. They initially like it very much and it would do exactly what you said. Study the repercussions of this because the leases were not granted properly. When they give leases, like for example, when you lease out to oil or gas, and they got to jump through hoops, and they should. They just gave these leases out without being concerned in the effect of on regular people who are affected by this at all. So, basically, what this executive order would do is look at the effect on the rate payer, look at the effect on the fishermen, look at the effect on tourism, look at the effect on national security, and look at the effect on how we're going to rely on foreign countries for our energies, just bad. So, they're looking at that now. I'm hoping in January or February that he does that executive order, but he has indicated total support for it. I am going to see him on Saturday about some other issues as well, and this is one that I am going to bring up with him. Well, tell him listeners really like the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and I personally want to see if he can get me in there to do the first broadcast from Greenland. That would be a plus once we, the next Greenland, which I'm starting to think there's a real possibility of that. Well, you know what? I mean, the Democrats should even like Greenland because it's green. Yeah. You know, they always like the new green, to me is the real green new deal, right? This is the green new deal. So, look, you know, he's making a point. The point is what, and I can't say, if you and I were, you know, just sitting somewhere talking, having dinner or a bar, I would say what bull, and you could finish the word. Countries like Canada, Trudeau, criticize the United States, beat the United States up, take advantage of the United States, don't maintain your borders. You know, the only reason they exist, and they're not afraid of foreign invaders, is because of the United States. You know, somebody said humorously, it's true, the state trooper force in Rhode Island could whip Canada, Canada's military. I mean, they have no basic military. No wonder they can afford to spend money on other stuff, and they still have, because of socialist policies, super high inflation, high cost of living, all kinds of problems there economically and otherwise. And now finally, the left is very unpopular. People get it. There's repercussions to the way you vote. And when you vote for these people, they're going to make your life harder, and they have. But his point is this. Look, if you're a good country and you're saying, we appreciate the United States, we're with you shoulder to shoulder, the way Israel is. He's not going to say that. He's not going to do that. But he's making a point. We just give you money, you believe the United States, and then you expect us to take all your crap. And I hate to use that word, but it is what it is. And just, you're allowed to do that. That's weak. And we're not weak. We're America. We're strong and we lead. Now, I think this is the first conversation with you in the new year. We, Dan, and I hadn't seen you until last year at Mulligans with the Scotch. And we were amazed at the transformation. Are you doing something new for the new year? Are you keeping the same exercise that resulted in that? So for those that are listening that care, how many really do for decades of my life, I've always worked out really hard. I do a lot of bodyweight exercises, crazy numbers of them. And they, you know, you get a little older like me, they don't hurt you. So I do literally nose abrasion and, you know, two-hour workout when I get up really early. I will do thousands of push-ups, pull-ups, chin-ups, dips. And then every day, I will do a four to five miles on the elliptical and for about an hour. And I always did that. And then I got in Congress and I kitted myself, oh, I don't take the elevators, which I generally know. I'll walk around the halls and that'll be good enough because I'm so damn busy. And after a few years, man, I felt slow and lethargic. It's not who I am. I'm not a big guy, but I try to keep really active and moved and that I can do. So I went back to that routine. It was one of my major New Year's resolutions. Another one was, which I've done pretty well on, still not good enough because of my schedule, is to make mass more often. I was getting really bad with that. I'd gotten better. I want to get better yet because at the end of the day, guess what? We're all traveling that road, you know? Exactly. For me, that was important. And I had a bunch of other things as well. This year, I had less because I had like 10 last year, but my major resolutions were not to sweat the little things. I can get bomb. I'm so unbelievably aggravated about things that sometimes end up being inconsequential. I want everything to be right. I want it to be a certain way. And sometimes, especially in this business, it just doesn't work out that way. So I kind of made a resolution. Give it your best. That's part of my resolution. Always break your back, and do everything you can. Give it a thousand and one percent. And if it works out great, and that's good, and if it doesn't, maybe try again, but don't get mad at others, don't get mad at yourselves, just push forward. So kind of to let it go once in a while, you know? Good resolution. Well, congratulations again. We look forward to talking in the new year. This is heavy duty stuff. They got the right guy without a doubt. You and Jim Jordan there. So thank you, Congressman, very much. Tom, I always appreciate you. I appreciate you getting the word out real quick. What did you make any New Year's resolutions? Yeah, I did. I'm back. I'm back in the gym four days a week. Oh, wow. Yeah. Absolutely. Working out with Congressman? Well, I couldn't keep up with that now. When we see him at Mulligan's, I hope to organize a physical fitness test between the two of you. Well, I have had a few. Have a few participate, Dan. We'll take the first guy coming down the show. You know, I will not participate. Oh, man, I'll pull up your push up contest. So do 200 pushups. Come on. How many pushups are to do that? Yeah. You know what? No matter if it's just a matter of moving, and I tell people, you don't have to do the pushups, pull ups and all. Yeah, I mean, it's good to do. I love doing them, but you just you know what? If it's just a matter of, gee, I'm going to skip the elevator. I'm going to look amazing. If you read up on this, how much, you know, how much those little things really can't help. Take a walk after dinner, you know, if you got a dog, walk to those types of things. So just whatever, just to keep moving a little bit. So sounds good. Thank you, Congressman. We'll see you at Mulligan this year. And I'm getting ready. Oh, man. I mean, can you throw a little football 40 yards out? Uh, man, I, you know, I threw the football with my year old grandson, and I do okay, but I don't 40 yards. I'm not so sure, you know, so get working on that. Do you? Can you? Of course. Well, yeah, it's one of the claims that he always makes is a 40 yard football throw. The Jordan Meyer a lot of just had to catch with, uh, with, uh, Randy Johnson, he couldn't make a 40 yard. I don't think he's dead. Dan, have you seen him for 40 yards? No, no. It's just, it's just beef, beef with queens. Congress. Here we go. We can have a contest. Make it close. It will make it some all again to make it to the beach and see him throw it 40 yards on the beach. We'll measure it out. All right. You got it. I just want the win to be right that day. Thank you, Congressman very much. Let's work on the wind schedule down there at Mulligan's. Oh, it's going to be a great summer though. Don't miss saying it. By the way, don't miss us at the NAC. Nick Cal Dawn and I all broadcasting from the NAC. You know, if you're not going to Washington, it's the place to be Newtown Athletic Center on inauguration day, particularly at the moment that Trump sworn in for the second term and your chance to talk about it on the air as it goes on in 2016. It was enormous. The response. So get there early, stay, it'll be food, drink, et cetera. Thank you to Jim Worthington for that. All right. We'll have to revive that. Henry, you can throw 40 yards, right? We'll have to wait and see. I mean, I think I can. I don't think you're going to beat Dan though. I got to give Dan credit. I think he had flip flops on. We're in the middle of the street and he just threw it. I'd say 44 to 46 yards at least. Just comment. Yeah. Yeah. I think the ball explodes out of my hands like Josh Allen, but yeah, okay. We'll see how we did have a ringer. There was a ringer from the former mayor who threw it. He hit a car and then went off. We had to get out of there. It was close to 60 yards. Sounds like something I would do ahead of the bar. Yeah. Rumor maybe Rancher Worski might turn over this time and participate. He threw it 88 when he tried out. All right, right now. I can still do that. All right. I stop. Money, melody. That is right. And today we're playing for a pair of tickets to the Philadelphia Auto Show at the Pennsylvania Convention Center January 11th to 20th for tickets and more information. Visit Philly Auto Show dot com. Yeah, Dom. Today's money melody has to do with the side question again. Okay. So obviously today we're talking about that all time heartbreak. Who broke your heart? Obviously there's a lot of songs about heartbreak. Okay. And I took a very famous one. You're so vain by Carly Son. Very famous tune. I'm sure we're all familiar with it, but I'm going to do a cover version of it. Okay. So I want to know which 90s singer will say is covering this song. [Music] Henry, you can pick a better one. I think it has to be a female singer too. I'm not sure. Yeah, I mean, once you hear it and you know that she needs iconic. Okay. But well, to that point, I mean, this guy was kind of ahead of his time. Oh, that's what I'm getting a sense. I've given things away for. All right. So I get this bag on purpose. It is with that and you're off to the Auto Show. Here's how you do it. 8 5 5 8 3 9 12 10 18 t and Verizon wire was all you have to do. Push pounds. Hi, I'm Kelly Corrigan. You probably never heard of me. Maybe you did. I wrote some New York Times bestsellers. I gave a TED talk. But the reason I'm in your ear now is to invite you to listen to Kelly Corrigan wonders. We talk to everyone from Bono to Amy Schumer, Spike Lee to Rainn Wilson, Krista Tippett and Brian Stevenson about purpose, creativity, well-being, and what makes life worth living. Follow and listen to Kelly Corrigan wonders on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts up there. Yes. That's right. Let's hear the clue again, a cover of your sovane who's doing this. Yes, this is pretty bad even though. Let's go. Let's go to Michael and Abby Brin. All right, Michael who's covering that song. It sounds like Marilyn Manson. Yes. You are correct. Michael, your comments during a break between us, what? Marilyn Manson precursor to everything that we see today, right? Well, you take everything that was controversial. Yeah, 1995, Marilyn Manson, controversial for everything and then you look at 2025 and the guy would fit right in with the internet, rather. Yeah, exactly right. Good year, Michael. I'll put you on hold and we will get those tickets off to you. By the way, Bondi, Rollins and Zeldin are set for confirmation hearings next week. Don't think any of them is going to have trouble. Bondi may be a little bit of back and forth and the Senate Armed Services Committee announced it will host Pete Hegsef on January 14th. These guys can't start on Monday. Oh, I have to get in on Tuesday. And gracily, we'll do Pam Bondi's hearing the same day. Okay. Cash, but tell. Let's see. We're not seeing when he's going to be announced yet. That's the big E that in RFK junior that I'm looking forward to, but we'll have full coverage on that. All right, you get in at 855-839-1210. Today, looking for some, this all is coming off the Ray Deninger thing, somebody or something that really disappointed you broke your heart, in other words, is what we're looking for. By the way, a lot of reaction to President Trump today might be the side question tomorrow. I'm working it up in my mind. Yeah, why couldn't we rename the Gulf of Mexico, which principally seems to be involved with a lot of U.S. territory, the Gulf of America? Why do that? You know, why go through it? That's what the other side's going to say. Well, why not? Oh, it's going to cost money. It's going to that's not they object to anything like this. It's bold. And I'm not sure if Trump is going to be able to get Congress to go back and rename Fort Bragg, Fort Bragg, from Fort Liberty, due to all the nonsense that's happened. Why would they sell to liberals as it's been honoring Alvin Bragg, then maybe they can get a pass, you know? But you were sitting on that one for a while. Yeah, exactly. So we'll see how much renaming goes on. Dan, what else we have from the Trump press conference today? Yeah, Dom, going through it. Do you want the audio of the Gulf of Mexico? Yeah, let's hear him say that. Yeah, it was pretty funny. Yeah, let me say, I thought I had that cued up, but I guess I do not. I switched off there. I apologize. I'm first off, I have a Trump talking about this 620 million acres of offshore drilling. Yes, take a listen, say we manufacture. We don't manufacture thing we have. We have oil and gas more than anybody in the world. We're gonna have more of it too. But they took away 625 million acres of offshore drilling. Nobody else does that. And they think they have it, but we'll put it back. I'm gonna put it back on day one. I'm gonna have it revoked on day one. We'll go immediately. If we need to, I don't think we should have to go to the courts. But if we do have to go to the courts, you know, they try to be sneaky. They go in and they say, and remember, this is a man that said he wants the transition to be smooth. Well, you don't do the kind of things. You don't have a judge working real hard to try and embarrass you. Because I did nothing wrong. By the way, I did nothing. Absolutely. Okay, let's stop that one. We'll play the Gulf of Mexico. A point on this. It's not going to be easy from what I'm told. Look, Trump's got to say it's part of their persona and the whole thing. Day one, Biden has laid something here that's going to be fought out in the courts. It's going to take a while. And it's just another example of Dr. Jill Biden, Biden, and the whole crowd around him pulling the strings, how much they want to just continue to inflict damage on the everyday American. And I want to play this day and cut 15. I may stop it at some point here. It's Joe Scarborough today saying, how in the world are we not recognizing how good the Biden presidency has been for the first time, Willy, since George W. Bush's inauguration, no American troops were at war. Right there, not to you clown to this clown. That's not to to it. Look at the pull out in Afghanistan. Look at the carnage. Look at what has resulted in damage to the average American. So move on, Joe, give us another inauguration day murders way down. Oh, God, illegal immigration falling below where it was when Donald Trump left office. Not true. Not true. Stop it right there. Not true. All right, continue. And finished at their best two years in a quarter century and are at record highs. Jobs are up. Wages are rising. The economy is growing as quickly as it did during Trump's problems. That's again, let's stop right there. I wanted to make this point for the millionth time. How often did people like this, he and the wife are living the good life to just absolute morons who are probably worth 30 to 40 million dollars net worth between the two of them, some way or another. And the average American and what this family did in these historians and the Michael Bachelors and all these people talking to Biden because of inflation, making Americans have to make all these choices that they shouldn't have to make. We just talked about the housing in Levittown, people trying to get a home still wanting to tell us how good the economy is. Well, what metric would you like to use? If I say inflation, they say, oh, well, look, inflation's down. And they actually have made themselves believe it. It's the rate of inflation. And by the way, it goes back up and down. It hasn't been steady. We're talking about baked in inflation. And here Biden wants to hamstring Trump from the number one thing and Trump gets us that will help us break through on inflation, energy sources, cheap energy sources, going back to that. How many times did Americans hear that? Why are you complaining about the economy? The economy is great. And we would answer that would go round and round with it. But hey, it's got to feel good after the election. All right, coming up yesterday was the day that we certified the second Trump term. And we happened to have on Scott Prezler. And we also had on Michael Watley, two of the key players. It just by happenstance. And we thought, yeah, we got to get Linda Kearns on here. And Dan has some sound of Trump saying we must ensure vote counting in elections finishes at 10 p.m. on election. It was one of the things we're going to do is we've got to fix the election so that we get honest counts and they get done by 10 o'clock in the evening or something. But they're about they have places where they're still counting votes. Well, we'll find out is Linda Kearns going to be able to have that election count. See, I don't want it to happen, Dan Adaroli. I mean, we got a business here. We got radio. That was one of our biggest spectaculars. I don't want it to go to three in the morning. I'll settle for a midnight or one o'clock. You know, a little tension here. Linda Kearns, she actually working on making it at 10 p.m. That it's over. All right, phone lines are 855-839-1210. All right, we had to do that. Of course, it's part of the deal. We all have to go through this. That means Linda Kearns is with us here. Oh, talk radio 1210. Hey, Linda, welcome in. And yesterday we had on some of the people that won this for everyone. And we wanted to not forget you on certification day. We were fully booked, though. We wanted to do that today. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you again and again. I appreciate that, Tom. But were you making fun of and rolling your eyes at my love of Elvis? Is that what it was just happening? Because tomorrow is the most important day of the year. Yesterday wasn't that important. Tomorrow is Elvis's birthday. So what are you doing to celebrate that? We may have to do some kind of side question around that. I don't know. I've always liked the hair. I'd like to have hair like that. Damn them. We'll have to work that. Put that into the millioo there. So Linda, we, before we get to something you're working on, Dan found this clip of the president today. We just played it saying, yeah, we're going to ensure vote counting by 10 p.m. on election night. Are you working on that? Right. So obviously I agree in principle with that. Absolutely. It's the execution of that that is going to take some forethought. People may not remember, but when Biden first took office, he and Congress, they were talking about taking over elections, federalizing elections, centralizing elections with the federal government. And we as conservatives were saying, no, no, no, you cannot do that. That is not the way we design elections. We leave these decisions to the states. So we do have to be careful with whatever election reform that we're coming up with while Trump is in office that we don't do the exact opposite of what good election integrity is, which would be federalizing elections and centralizing it too much in the federal government. Because for instance, here in Pennsylvania, if there was some type of federal law that says all counting has to be done by 10 p.m. The only way really to get that done if we still have mail balloting would be to start counting ahead of time. But before we count those ballots ahead of time, we have to make sure we have the systems in place that people cannot vote by mail and then vote on the machine. And while we do have some of those systems in place, it's not as perfect as I would like it. So the last thing I want is to start counting ahead of time before we have those safeguards. And remember, Dom, we have 67 counties. If we don't have some type of uniformity and accountability as to when that pre-counting is going to start, I can't imagine how I would be able to get watchers. It was difficult enough to schedule watchers, knowing that they were all going to start an election day. But to think if I had to schedule watchers for 67 counties, not knowing when they're going to start counting, if some of them start a week ahead of time, if some of them start five days ahead of time, if some of them start at nine a.m. So there's a lot of detail that has to be ironed out. But that's, you know, that's President Trump. He comes up with the big ideas and then people like me execute them. Well, I don't see the need though. I hate to object, but at 10 p.m. Yeah, that's, you know, I'm okay. If it's midnight one in the morning, just not the drawn out type of stuff. And we seem to achieve it pretty well this time across the board, dirty your efforts and others. So Linda, what are you working on at this point? So if you remember, I spent a lot of time on your show on a lot of radio stations all across the Commonwealth recruiting people to be both poll watchers and poll workers. And the poll workers are the people that go that are sitting there when you go in to vote that they check you in, they make sure you're in the book, you sign the book, they set up the machine for you. And in Pennsylvania, what a lot of people don't realize is those are elected positions. We vote for them and we're going to vote for them this year. And that's part of the problem with not taking care of election integrity every single year is that if we don't, as Republicans, have people on the ballot and have them voted in this year, then my job is much harder in a presidential year in 2028 because I'm trying to get people appointed. I'm trying to recruit people. I'm trying to put poll watchers where I know I don't have poll workers. So you can actually file to run for it to be a judge of election, majority inspector, minority inspector in your election district. And that's this year. And you have to get five signatures and that opens the signature period opens up on February 18th. So we're going to see if we can recruit some people to actually run and be on the ballot and then be at every election between now and 2028. So that by the time 2028 rolls around, we have people who are really invested who have been working these elections who know everybody. So that's what we're working on now. That is great stuff. The incrementalism of this way in advance, certainly. So Linda, all things being equal then, I think you'll be our first guest, the first hour when we're broadcasting from the NAC as we did before. But this one, you'll be there along with, we think, hundreds of listeners in 2016. It was like that when Trump takes the oath of office. Happy to do it. You know, I am working on the inauguration committee right now. I mean, I'm a lawyer, so I'm not actually planning the party's home, reviewing all the contracts and so forth. So it's really an interesting process. And I think citizens should be aware how much goes into one of these inaugurations. I mean, it's planning a huge event that really goes over a few days because there's events, you know, that Saturday and Sunday and Monday. So it's a lot to plan. Well, I can mention, it won't be there for the parties. You'll be with us, which is a better party and better company. And we promise maybe some mentions of Elvis. Well, I did go to the inauguration in 2016 and it was a great experience. And this year, there's going to be a big lawyer luncheon the day before that from the Republican National Lawyers Association to honor all the lawyers who participated. But then I'm going to come back to Philadelphia. So yes, I am happy to be there to talk to you guys about the inauguration. And I think we'll be a little bit warmer than the people who are actually at the inauguration. You will be inside. We won't be out in the in the elements. So it'll be it. I think that's going to be a great day. One question for you. I put this poll up yesterday. I have the results. And sadly, it's a sign of the apocalypse. Each year, I asked this with the first snowfall. Many years it's been 80%. It's down to the final was 68.9% said if you dig out of space in Philadelphia, wherever you are, Linda, then you deserve to keep that space. Henry says only if you put an object in it or protect it. Dan Bill Bagan said he's not Philadelphia. What can you expect? What are you going to expect with Dan rose that you on Twitter yesterday? And I told him, come on. That's not right. Right. So Dan, I'm a lawyer. And no, that those spaces are on the on the street or community spaces. You should not be able to preserve them. However, I'm also a real us. And I know that if I tried to pull my car in a space where someone had put a chair or some other marker, I'd probably get a brick through it. So I don't think I would try. That's the entire point is, yeah, that's the reality of what it is. But no, it shouldn't be that way. Of course it should. It's America. Wait a minute. This election was about this. Let me ask you. If I go mow the lawn of a vacant lot that's for sale, do I automatically own the vacant the vacant lot? No. And Dan, so Dan, I'm with you. I said, I don't think you should be able to preserve a public space like that. I absolutely don't think that. However, I'm a realist. And I wouldn't pull into someone's space who has preserved because I know how philadelphiaans are. That's the poorly of my fellow philadelphiaans, but I am a real and frankly, and I know that, you know, I think I saw him Philadelphia magazine. They're claiming crime is down. But I'm afraid to park my car in the street because it just seems like there's just tons of petty theft. You end up getting scratch or someone breaking into it. So we really have a lot to work on. Exactly. That's terrible. Thank you again for everything. And we'll relive everything on inauguration day at the neck. I can't wait. And if anyone is interested in participating in elections, you still go to protect the vote.com. Go to the go to protect the vote.com. Just go to Pennsylvania. You can sign up to a volunteer. It still says 2024 in there, but I'm going to have the computer people fix that. And we are recruiting people. We want to see people involved in every election. We have elections in Pennsylvania twice a year every year. We don't just have them in presidential years. Thank you, Linda. See you soon. Take care. All right, Linda currents here on talk radio 1210. It's a lightning round next. And don't forget, get there early. We'll be broadcasting a next show, Don show my show up until three o'clock. And I, you know, when President Trump takes the oath, I know in 2016 we were at chicken and pizza. It was a magical moment. You want to be there. You want to be heard. I'm sure there'll be other things that go on to new town athletic club right there in Bucks County. Thanks to Jim Worthington. Lightning round next who broke your heart on talk radio 1210. Talk radio 12. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning round. All right, it is time time who broke your heart in a big way. Disappointment, that kind of thing. That's what we're looking for. Let's go to Joe in Westchester. All right, Joe, what's your answer today? I am. What's your answer you call? Yes, Joe, who's what's your answer? My answer was the FBI. And I'm sitting on a sofa with a blanket from apparently a friend who worked for the Department of Justice. And the FBI group three, you know, not as an agent. Okay. Thank you, Joe. All right. And this personally, FBI, pretty good rep, very good reputation. Dwayne's got a good one. I think it's happened behind the scenes here, Dom. Bruce and the North East called us. Okay. And we haven't heard from it a lot. I remember you're wondering. Yeah. Yeah. And then Henry answers it and just silence and there's phones. There's no one there. Oh, I think he's calling back. So you might hear from Bruce. Oh, good. Dwayne in Valley Forge. Hey, Dwayne, afternoon. What do you have today? Hi, Dom. She was a featured guest in a speaker series, 1210 speaker series, a neighborhood at the Colonial Theatre, bright, young, conservative author. I thought the world of her, but she broke all of our hearts when she stepped rich and gone and the entire zeolian army by not showing up at a speaker event in Berkeley, California. Yeah, that's a pretty good one. Well, and she also wrote these wonderful things about Trump and then turned virantly anti-Trump. Joe in Borden town. Joe, what do you have? Happy New Year. Happy New Year, Joe. Thank you. So wrenching disappointment was the collapse of the 1964 Phillies. Yeah, it was shocking. And Gene Mock didn't have any formula out of it. Thank you, Joe. That's a good one. Joe in Columbus next. Hi, Joe. What do you have? I think me and Joe from Borden town are brothers from another mother. We grew up and we were born same little tiny ghetto, but we never met each other. And he is, he's something else. I got to tell him that. My side question answer is every everybody's sweetheart with Arnold Palmer and the Hertz commercials. He broke our heart overnight and that was O.J. Simpson. Yeah, people that say, oh, they knew they always suspect that that's ridiculous. It was shocking if you remember Joe for three or four days that we when they started to say, well, they always think of the husband first. They think of O.J. We were like, what are you kidding me? And Hollywood crafted him, Dom. Yeah, they really did. They protected him. He was a kind of a gangbanger in junior college before he went to USC, you know, in the streets of L.A. They eradicated that whole part of his past and they made him. He made they made him everybody's sweetheart. That's a good one. That is a real good one. The Earl of Tacconi Earl. What do you have? My answer is going to be Mitt Romney. Mittens. He was supposed to be Donald Trump. I mean, you remember when he was running for office? Oh, he's a rich guy. He goes and he buys companies and he fires people and he makes these companies more efficient and you know, he lost to Obama and then all of a sudden, Trump comes in doing the Mitt Romney playbook and all of a sudden Mitt Romney's like, oh, this is a bad thing. And like, oh, wait, this is everything that you were running for. The reason I voted for Mitt Romney is because Mitt Romney was going to do the exact same stuff that Trump ended up doing in the future. Yeah, it was pretty surprising. Oh, wait, there's bad blood personally, but still overall to get even with him, the impeachment and everything else. Yeah, Mitt Romney definitely qualifies our last hitter, Joe in extant on talk radio 12 then. All right, Joe, who do you have today? Oh, yes. Hello, Dom. Good afternoon. My disappointment is in the person of George Soros. Soros is a native of Hungary who experienced fascistic dictators. Soros then flees Hungary and finds refuge in America, which allows him to use his financial genius to acquire great wealth. Then, rather than showing gratitude to the country that gave him shelter, Soros uses his wealth to support left-wing policies that are detrimental to America. Thank you, Joe. All right, nice list here, particularly at the end. Who broke your heart? All right, we're going to love with George Soros. Henry, who is it that you like that of all this? Yeah, the answer that stuck out to me today was Chris and Malvern's answer of CNN. I remember growing up thinking like CNN was like the standard of news and he detailed his time, you know, serving overseas and like watching that career. Yes, and then like, what's happened to them? I don't, you know, it's hard to believe. Yeah, well, they owned international news because they were 24/7 without a doubt. Dan, what do you say? I was actually going to say CNN myself. I really liked that answer. But also, I think OJ Simpson, Joe and Columbus had a really good call there in 1964, Phillies from Joe and Borden town, and then a third Joe, a lot of Joe's, Joe and Westchester with the FBI as well. Yeah, I think I love the call, the CNN call. And it does take you back. CNN was not always like this. I'm not sure it was always vaguely liberal, but it was Newsy. Well, you had to think CNN was the first 24-hour news network war coverage, you know, exactly. And a lot of what they did was revolutionary before the buy set in. And I don't know, it's okay to remember when CNN once had free coverage and fees and all of it. And the fact that he was serving with this and checking in on it was great call. So, Chris and Malvern, your name goes into the hat. Good one today. Maybe renaming tomorrow to take us out. Dan, do you have Trump is isolated just saying, why can't we name it the Gulf of America? Or is it in that still in that long thing? Yeah, going to be announcing a future date pretty soon. We're going to change because we do most of the work there and it's ours. We're going to be changing sort of the opposite of Biden, where he's closing everything up, essentially getting rid of $50 to $60 trillion worth of assets. We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. All right, there you go. And Marchary Taylor Green just dropped the bill. I was reading a moment ago to do that. They're going to say, why do we have to do that? Oh, you jingoistic people. You know, no, it's the right thing to do. Yeah, Lee Greenwood will be there when they pull off the big banner that says Gulf of America. All right, great stuff today. Rich, she always next. Join us tomorrow, noon until three, sing it Lee. Follow on Twitter at Dom Show 1210, all that happening each and every day with the side question and everything else. What a news conference today with President Trump. And great news with Jeff Bandrew. You're listening to Dom Gierdano here on Talk Radio 1210, WPhT. Dom Gierdano, weekdays 9 till noon on Talk Radio 1210, WPhT.
