All right, it is Dom Time loaded up, and there's breaking stuff. Great side question. Dan back with his Henry back today, all ready to go. And I, just one little aside, and we'll get to talking a little bit about Trudeau, is it really that Trump was the, he was on the ropes anyhow. But on a wintery day like this, I've only been to Canada a couple of times. I need somebody with some real insight. What is it that would have a wuss like Trudeau as the leader for nine years, and now on the ropes, because he's gone too far in the contrast with Trump, and they're afraid of Trump pushing back on him, that he finally announced his resignation today. I never understood this. It just doesn't seem to be that type of country. The rough and tumble of hockey guys with no teeth. Molson. When we've done something associated with Canada, that's what we get. But there must be a critical mass of people who are progressive, and their policies and their politically correct stuff is that Toronto is one of the worst. It's a capital of this. And also I put up on Twitter for fun. Since Biden's on the ropes, he's trying to torch as much as the country as he can as we wind down. Which one has actually been worse? Now, I would say that Trudeau has been worse. But given the advantage that he has Biden presiding over the United States, where we have all kinds of checks and balances, great economies, might versus Canada, I guess you could make the point that Trudeau has been. But he had less to work with. Biden has had everything and look at what he's done. What a day though, finally announcing he'll be stepping down. He'll be the minority leader potentially. They have a parliamentary system. But here's Representative Kamek from Florida, I believe, on earlier today. She thinks that Trump was the final domino. And there is some of that because of the tariff, the pushback, him coming to see Trump. He did a conference with feminists saying what kind of country are we? Meaning of the United States, they had their second chance to elect a woman, and they still wouldn't do it. I mean, come on. Here's what the representative said today. I want to go back to the Congresswoman Kat Kamek of the great state of Florida. I would be remiss if we didn't get your immediate response to that. Well, down in the south, what we would say Harris is bless his heart. He has struggled. I don't know if you can hear me, but I just said bless his heart. You know, as you said, this is no surprise to see Prime Minister Trudeau's resignation. This has been a long time coming. He has been championing Canada a much like here in America, America last. He's been Canada last in terms of policies. And Canadians are sick and tired of it. You mentioned the border situations that we have in Ottawa. We know of terrorist cells that have been discovered in Ottawa, that have posed a national security threat to Americans. We have trade disputes, whether it is lumber disputes, potatoes. We have a number of commodities that we have struggled to actually work to negotiate a favorable trade deal. And so I think you're seeing a realignment happening in Canada, much like other places of the world where the people of that nation are sick and tired of tyrannical rule. Look no further than what happened to those truckers when they spoke out against Canadian policies and their bank accounts recedes. This is truly a global realignment of putting the sovereign nation first. And I think we have President Donald Trump to thank for that, because as you mentioned, and what Prime Minister Trudeau failed to recognize, was he had gone to Marlago. And I think he sat down across the table from President-elect Donald Trump and said, "You know, I don't think I'm qualified to handle this." And I think that that's why we're seeing him exit stage left. That's essentially true. It is stage left. Off to Cuba. Does he go to Cuba immediately on a Goodwill tour? Does he beat the Canadian winners? I wonder if he's summers there. There's always been that sense with this guy. By the way, Canada, with that vast expanse, with all these natural minerals, materials, etc. If they were a state, remember that whole thing with Trump in the state, they would rank fourth from the bottom per capita, as far as what they produce as far as income. They would be right there behind Alabama. Canada, yeah. Think of all that natural wealth. So what in the world would have Canada, this critical mass, be this so far left? To me, it's very hard to understand unless I was there and saw it day to day. Is it the settlement of Canada? Is it the organization? Is it the accent? Is it the no teeth? What the heck is it that provokes something like that? All right, a couple of other things to hear locally. I see a little quiz. I'm not sure how they're going to answer. Dan's lived in the city. Henry is not. I know there's a suburban bias. I put up the poll last night since we're getting a fair amount of snow. Might be four inches, ultimately, in some spots. The age-old question, and each year, it goes down the people that get it. This is conservative talk radio, supposedly. If you dig it out, you save it. You can put anything you want in there to save it. Your space. I'm talking about, you know, it's got to be three, four, five inches or more, not just a little snow onto your feet. I thought still 80% would say, yeah, Dom, you're right. Some people are getting antagonistic. They're crazed over this. One guy asking me, well, where's your car when you dig it out? What planet are you on? Your car's there. You're digging around it. You're making a big snow pile with in and out. And Dan was in, you know, South Philly is the hardest, but you were in Port Richmond. So, Dan, if you dig it out, is it saves these? Not with the current parking situation, no. Oh, my goodness. No, no. How do you get that? I'm talking about if it's not four or five. I'm talking about there's real work. Even then, there's no limit. You don't think you should be able to save it. Like, go around the corner. When I was in Port Richmond, you walk around the corner, you expect someone to, you know, if the spot's shoveled out and not pull into it, I just, I don't know, because I know you're going to throw it back in my face. But I want to ask, why do you think you're entitled to keeping us public spot yours? Because you dug it. You dug it out. And usually it's in front of your house or very nearby that you dug it out. I mean, that's part of it. Sure, you can say it's a public space all you want, but you wouldn't have that public space if I didn't dig it out. I actually have audio of one time I fought with someone trying to save their spot. Okay. I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to. Well, the entitlement is somebody who just thinks they violate civilized norms and pull into a space. I'm talking about you really would pull into a space where, you know, when Luke and I have had to do it, some major snowstorms, you can have it almost waist high or close to waist high. The mound you put up on both sides of it, a giant mound, and you just have the smallest entrance and the smallest exit in order to get in. Let me turn to star witness Henry. So Henry, you've been in the suburbs mostly. So, you know, you might have a different opinion of how difficult it is to do all this. You may not have to do it. So what do you say? I mean, I got to be with Dan on this one. Like I don't think you're entitled to a public parking space. Even if you did put in the effort of digging it out, I just don't see how that gives you a stake or a claim in that specific spot. Well, I would say that it's communism on the other side. Communism. Yes, in that I work and dig that out. How do you think you take advantage of that? If I clear the leaf off of a public bench in a park and I sit down, should I expect to have that park bench seat for me when I come back? No, that's a pretty, you're going to have to come up with a better metaphor or analogy for that. All right, so it's holding still though, despite the change in the world here. I remember 10 years ago, it was about 90%. It's still been about 72.3% to 75% of people that say, yes, you deserve that. Now, let's all start at talking about this. When it is a good guy, the sergeant who does PR for the city of Philadelphia, put all this stuff up, all these memes and all this. And we started to see a change. And again, particularly in South Philly, this would be frowned upon, meaning you would be in big trouble if you pull into that space. They would say it. Now today, I'm not sure what would happen. I'm sure people still wouldn't like it. And if you lived in the neighborhood and did it. So Dan, suppose you're living a few doors down. You think you really have the right to pull in then, I guess. Yeah. Oh my God. Is this not just a neighbor leaf? Well, let me ask you. No, it's completely on neighborly. You didn't work to go dig out your own space. What's the limit? How long can that space be open before someone's allowed to pull into it? As long as the snowstorm goes on. No, I don't think that's right. No. Of course it is. I mean, you dug it out. You worked on it. This is essential. How about a spot sitting directly in front of your house that you're normally pulled into? But someone happened to be parked there and then shoveled it out. Are you not allowed to pull into the spot in front of your house? No, you still can't pull and they shoveled it out. But what if there's no other spot? I mean, you drive around the block or four blocks and there's nothing, nothing, nothing, and there's still that one spot sitting right in front of your house. You're not going to pull into it? You can't. And I'm telling you why in South Philly, particularly, that's really tight, etc. And yet there are more than anyplace people were against stealing their spot. That's why you hear all these things of putting an anchor in there, a TV set, all kinds of chairs, just as wild as possible stuff. If you do that, I think it should be saved. If you put something of... Well, that's the idea. The value of yesteryear in there, I think that's okay. But if you're just like, "That's my spot," you know... No, you always put something in there in South Philly. Then that... Yeah, if that's the tradition of putting things... Yes, things in there. Do you put a toilet out there? I'm getting out of my car, moving that toilet and parking. Oh, yeah. The anchor was my all time. I think a broken, some kind of satellite dish was put in there, too. I've seen that. Jim Kelly, if he hasn't left for the day, he's seeing other stuff. All right, here's how you get in, 855-839-1210. Coming up, we are going to talk with first the great Andy McCarthy. He's got a lot to say about Judge Marshawn sentencing President Trump this coming Friday. Now, there's some developments in that. And why he feels this is just spiteful. It is all times spiteful. Side question, be thinking of the all-time epiphany. No time to give you some examples. Today is the feast of the epiphany. Epiphany meaning something that moves you to an insight. An insight, something that changes you. Something you go, wow, never thought about it that way. Yeah, my thing is I thought that you just have one day that completely triggers a different stance on the life essentially. Yeah. Somebody says something or you see something. And epiphanies are the great art of just about anybody. I'll give you one. The sixth sense can be real or it can be fictional. When you find the spoiler alert, come on, it's been out 30 years. Yeah, as old as me. Yeah, all right, there you go. Yeah, what's he over and under? We should set that someday. I would say five years is enough. If you haven't seen it by then, come on. Let the conversation flow. Andy McCarthy next, breaking down a couple of big things with President Trump legally and January 6th. And the certifying vote today here on Talk Radio 1210. Welcome in, everyone. It is Dom Time, 855-839-1210. You get in. Andy McCarthy on fire the last few days with Judge Marchan. He's on watch right now for the certification vote for January 6th. And he had a lot to say about the T-word and the FBI. They're metric for determining if something is terrorism or not. Andy, welcome back. Happy New Year. How's the watch going for the certification vote? Happily, Dom, I think it's going to be a quiet day on Capitol Hill. I think the biggest problem they have today is the weather, not the progress for the ratification of President Trump's victory. And that largely is because of, I think, two things. One is the electoral count act makes it much more difficult. The improvements that were made in the electoral count act in 2021-2022 make it much harder to raise an objection. But I also think that it's obvious enough that Trump won and that the law fair was a big problem for Democrats. I think they understand now, at least national Democrats understand. I don't know if that's the ones in New York, but national Democrats understand that that was really bad for them in the election. And the last thing I think they want to do is look like they're coming out of the box, continuing to fight Trump on that level. So, Andy, I think I'd say Judge Marshawn has not gotten that memo. This is spiteful. You make a great point that I haven't seen anybody else be as laser-focused on this sentencing, which Trump has asked not to happen on Friday, of course, that he should be able to make a partial appeal. We all know what the Supreme Court has said here about immunity and how clear this is going to be on appeal. I can't even imagine in New York and all that stuff before the Supreme Court. So, what is it you're proposing they should allow Trump to do rather than what Marshawn is going to do? I think they should allow him to appeal the denial of his post-trial motions in so far as he relies on the Supreme Court's ruling on July 1st that official acts of the presidency are not only immune from prosecution, but, and this is very important, Douglas. This is the part that impacts this case. Evidence of a president's official act is not admissible in a criminal prosecution in order to prove acts that are not official acts of the presidency. I think what happened in the brad case among the many outrageous things that happened in the case was that Bran recklessly offered and March on equally recklessly admitted into evidence proof regarding President Trump's practices in the Oval Office. In fact, two witnesses who were on President Trump's White House staff actually testified in the trial and what, you know, brag and march on have been trying to say ever since then is, well, this was just harmless error to the extent that it really was relevant to anything in the way of Trump's official acts. They didn't need that evidence, at least on the on the case, as the way that Brad presented it. And I don't see how they can conceivably look people in the eye now and say it was harmless error to put this evidence in when brag prosecutors argued to the jury that it was devastating evidence. When they summed up, so I think that even if you don't agree that the case needs to be thrown out and, you know, their argument basically is that there's a significant enough quantum of evidence that was unrelated to presidential acts that even if they were long to admit that evidence that it was harmless. I think Trump would be able to test that proposition on appeal. And what the Supreme Court has said is that immunity is one of those rare subjects in criminal prosecution. It's like double jeopardy in the sense that you don't have to wait until the end of the proceedings and the sentencing in order to raise it on trial. Because the issue when you have a potential immunity violation is not just that you improperly can pick someone. It's that you're not supposed to be able to put them through criminal proceedings. Right. Exactly. And the other part of this, you just mentioned Democrats recalibrating. Some of them are. They're smarter once, you know, and again, they have to camouflage. They have to recalibrate. But others can't wait to go on cable constantly and say if Marshawn does this, he is a convicted felon when he assumes the oath of office. I'm not showing up on January 20th. What kind of deal is this? He's a convicted felon. That's all they've ever wanted out of this. And they thought it would carry them home in the election. And again, I think this backfires again. If Trump can just skillfully say they will not stop law affair, this is what this is all about. They can help themselves. And I'm betting significant numbers of Democrats will take that bait and run with it. Yeah, well, I would say this, Don, they use the convicted felon line anyway in the campaign, right, and it's all flat. And I don't think, you know, people like me have been out there making the persnicketing legal argument for a number of months now that a person actually is not a convicted felon as a matter of law until the judge and enters the judgment of conviction. So I regard it as something of a victory that when I first raised that people were saying, I was like obscure. And now it seems to be resonating with people. To the point, I think that Trump's behavior in connection with the post trial motions and everything that he's done strategically up to this point is only explainable if his main objective here is not to go into office as someone who's formerly a convicted felon, because he could have dropped a number of these objections and just proceeded to sentencing and gotten on with his appeal. And there's a lot of us who think that if he gets on with his full appeal, not just the appeal of the immunity stuff, but all the range of errors that were made in this case, he's got a very good shot to get this case thrown out on appeal. But that may take a couple of years. And in the meantime, I think what's obvious here is he's fighting this because he doesn't want to go into office under a sentence or, more importantly, on the public record, formally speaking to be a convicted felon. I hear you. I hear you. What would you advise him to do looking at the totality of this? Yeah, I'm sure that, you know, Todd Blanche and Neil Bovey and John Sal are very good lawyers. They're the ones who have been advising him on this stuff. And I'm sure they're trying to find a court in New York, hopefully the appellate division where the court appeals, that will allow him to appeal the immunity portion so that the sentencing doesn't happen on Friday. He would have to turn to the federal courts if that doesn't work. And he's got a problem with that because he's already, you know, when he tried to remove the case to federal court in 2023, when it was first indicted, a Clinton appointed senior judge named Alvin Helerstein denied it. And the Trump people elected not to appeal. So he's procedurally got a problem in federal courts. But I think they should intervene given that the Supreme Court's ruling didn't happen until July of the year. But I guess it's now last year. Now listeners may not some of them, you know, may not remember when we first, at least when I first fully heard about you, it was the blind shake prosecuting that case precursor to 9/11 and everything else. Just an unbelievable legal effort that will stand forever. So you have intimate knowledge of federal prosecution and the FBI. The FBI first coming on and saying it wasn't a terrorist attack in New Orleans and just the trouble they have when the Muslim faith is involved. And I understand the sensitivity of wanting to say you talk about this. This is the aberration of the faith. Okay, but my God, at some point, you just have to talk about terrorism here and how, you know, in order that number of cases seem to me to be fueled by some perversion of the religion. Yeah, you know, I guess what I don't understand. I mean, we had with a 30 years done of the troubles in Northern Ireland where, right, you know, we had Protestant terrorists and especially Catholic terrorists in the IRA committing atrocious acts of terrorism against each other while they were having the squabble, which was mainly a faith-based squabble. It's hard to believe how little they were fighting those. I'm not saying people's religious convictions are unimportant. I'm just saying the tenets that we were sort of the differences in the Christian tenets that we were talking about at the root of that, if that's what it really was, I think it was more cultural and nationalist and religious. But I didn't feel like I needed to apologize to the IRA. And I didn't have a slightest squab of conscience. I would have been the first people called the terrorist. I didn't, you know, it didn't bother me in the slightest that the government would say what was terrorism was terrorism. I didn't feel like it was smearing my faith by doing that. So I don't know, you know, somewhere along the line, and I think this happened during the, well, within the water during the Clinton years when I was prosecuted cases, but it was in the Bush years, you know, they were very sensitive to Muslim attitudes. And then when Obama came in, he actually worked on culturally changing the FBI and basically changing the instruction so that the agents were basically told that they shouldn't look for an ideological nexus between a belief system and act of terrorism. And we all know what belief system they were talking about. They weren't talking to you. If you are a conservative Republican, they had no problem with blaming your ideology for terrorism. Well, my favorite and whoever Trump puts in there, I know this seems petty, but my first daughter of business, I want to know who in that Richmond office, drag him in, was sending FBI agents out to people going to a Latin mass, taking down all their information and surveilling them. My goodness. Or why can't a Jewish kid walk across the campus without, you know, a great question. Yes, exactly. You know, I mean, we have these civil rights laws and contrary to what progressives think, the civil rights laws don't play identity politics. They are written in a way that apply to protect everyone, not just, you know, liberal interest groups. Exactly. Andy, we'll be watching you on Fox today. Great to have you back for a segment of the new year. The columns on fire. I mean, the points that you make, even the laymen can, or people that dropped out of law school, like me, can pick up on them. Thanks so much, John. Happy new year. Thank you. Andy McCarthy here on Talk Radio 1210. I got a lot of snow related stuff, too. Like, what happened to snow days? They're sacred. Usually, I defend the archdiocese of Philadelphia, but not on this one. They're holding Zoom classes today. Oh, it's plain Philadelphia coming up. Yeah, taken away snow days. Look, if you have X number of snow days, I don't know what the magic number is, maybe more than three, certainly two. No, I mean, though, if you reach certain numbers where it gets to be too much to craft it into the schedule, then you can do something like this a bit snow. Sure to that, though, you let kids have snow days. All right, but we haven't adjudicated yet. The big issue of the saves is here. The final poll, what Dom showed 1210, I think it's got a little more time. Let's go to Fred in North Wales on Talk Radio 1210. Good afternoon, Fred. Hi. Good afternoon. I've won a capadano. Dom and your whole staff. Well, thank you, Fred. I want to offer my full abiding support for your policy on the parking spot situation. All due respect to Dan, my cousin, DeSantis, Henry, the whole gang. I mean, even a day like today, Dom, you and I probably walked to school. I grew up a set a mile from where you're from. And if you probably remember the storm of 60 or 61, and down in South Philly, we dug out, what two days and no spots had to be reserved for the, for the, for the owner of that vehicle. So, you know, again, all due respect to Dan, whether you're in South Philly, Mayfair, the great neighborhood, Donnie, and we're up in Montgomery County now. I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you, Fred. This gets harder every year. Yes. I was going to ask him if he had a special object he puts out there to say this by spot. It has to be an object. Okay. Well, yeah, I feel like, yeah, that's that's the line. What's broken down is in many of these neighborhoods, everybody knew who they were, you know, particularly in South Philly, there wasn't as much movement, new people, et cetera. Everybody knew who spot that was, et cetera. And there'd be people looking to tell you, you can't park there. That's Henry's spot. Okay. Yeah. But then the, I think the object started because that broke down a little bit. So people started putting objects. Yeah. The neighborly kind of attitude broke up as more people came in and then all right. So that's, yeah. All right. I get what you're saying. Now, look, if it takes you five minutes to dig it out, let's say, which is rare. I mean, you either have to dig it out massively or you don't. Then I kind of get that. Okay. Yeah. It depends on the snow. Like if it's a real heavy snow, it's like, all right, that's that guy's spot. Yeah. I mean, if it's filled up and it starts to get to be two, three feet high, the design you made like an eagle would have come in there. How in the world can you take that spot? You just can't. Yeah. That's the difference. And I think some of the people in the suburbs have forgotten that. They don't have to, they may have a driveway. All right. But the archdiocese of Philadelphia today, the grade school level, they have no school, but they're not on zoom. Not that I want more kids on zoom, but isn't it sacred to have a snow day, the first snow of the year or do they say, well, look, we got the technology and you, I supported them during COVID. They did a good job. I'll tell you what, Philadelphia is doing, which is just preposterous on this. You want to build two or three snow days in. You get past them. Now you got a problem. Usually, they'd make the school day longer to make it up or they'd add on a day at the end of the year. But now they're all itching to try to show us that they're right on top of things. Give me a break. Now, with the non-soo nose, I'd love to be a fly on a wall if you're at home with your kid or something and they're in the archdiocese of Philadelphia. I think it's suburbs too. And they're on zoom. Is it actually run in a way like the classroom would be? All right, coming up, we're going to talk with Mike Watley, the head of the RNC on a day like this. He's the guy that guaranteed election integrity, had the good sense to hire Linda Kurt. Want to talk with him about what this day means shortly, in which we see Donald J. Trump certified his 47th president, all that straight ahead on Talk Radio 1210. All right, it is Dom Time, 8-5-8-3-9-12-10. One of the real stars, key forces in this election cycle was RNC Chairman Michael Watley. We thought on a day like this when Trump is certified, his 47th president, it's a great time to talk with him. And have we turned a corner here? What more has to be done to restore faith in this entire process? As I said, when he hired here locally, Linda Kearns, it really helped with our listeners, restore the idea. Yes, I want to vote. I'll even vote by mail. Some of them are going to hand it in. You may remember by voting by mail, how much that had an impact. Let's go to RNC Chairman Michael Watley, Chairman. Welcome back. And on a day like this, we know President Trump's day certified inaugural day, but we want to salute you also because here locally, I'm not sure how many other spots it worked this well. It was a convinceor on election integrity to get our people to vote by mail. And every little bit of that helped to turn out and turn the election in Pennsylvania. I do not agree more. It's so exciting, right? Because this is the day where, formally, you know, he's going to be the president-elect, and they're going to certify the election, and then we'll have the inauguration on the 20th. But it's one more step in the process, all of which goes back to November 5th, all of which goes back to all the work that all of your listeners did, knocking on doors, making phone calls, signing up, going through the training, becoming poll watchers, becoming poll workers. And really, it happened in Pennsylvania. It happened in every other battleground state around the entire country. The fact that we had 230,000 people sign up to be our election integrity team, the fact that we had 6,500 attorneys, the fact that we had tens of thousands of people making phone calls and knocking on doors around the country. You know, this is something where, yeah, Donald Trump won the election because his name was on it. But every one of your listeners won this election because they participated in it, and they made sure that we got out the vote and we protected the ballot. Well, hopefully too, you know, it's enormous this election cycle, but building on this, the lessons of it you and I have talked about, the instantaneous challenge, even post-election, that we saw with Casey and McCormick, there are still Democrats out there that haven't learned that law fair is going to redound against them. And I know that you guys are poised, is there a lesson that was learned by you going forward that you hope to implement? Yeah, you have to be in the room, right? And you need to plan these things in advance. You need to be there on the front end. You cannot just protest an election after it's certified. As we saw in 2020, the courts will not accept those protests. They won't move forward on those once an election has been certified. So it really took a lot of effort upfront. We filed 156 lawsuits around the country. We had more lawyers in Pennsylvania than anywhere else. And the key is just you've got to attack it starting now. And so, you know, what we're doing, you know, I'm going to start with my first meetings in Las Vegas and this week flying out there tonight. You know, we're going to start the 26 election cycle now. And we're going to we're going to certainly have a fantastic celebration in Washington, D.C. On the 20th, we're going to have the inaugural address by the president, then he's going to walk up Pennsylvania Avenue. And he's going to roll up the sleeves and go right to work. And on the 21st of January, the RNC is going to go right back to the fundamentals of building the infrastructure so we can get out the vote and protect the ballot again in 26. I referenced the Casey McCormick in some ways. I saw that as a real showdown. I mean, you know, the the macro that because you had Mark Elias in here and we know what happens. We have the unforced error of the Bucks County Chairman saying she wasn't going to follow the law. All this redounds in the future. I think that vote count with McCormick and Casey and the way you guys handled it was the textbook for what you have to do in these situations. Well, it really truly matters, right? And I think the fact is the law is very clear in Pennsylvania. And the Supreme Court had interpreted that law and put out their orders. And the Democrats came along and said, well, we don't want to follow the law. We don't want to follow the Supreme Court orders. And fortunately, the Supreme Court was able to readdress that. We won at the federal courts as well. You know, 90% plus of the voters of Pennsylvania want the law to be followed. They want the rules to be followed and they want the elections to be run fairly. And so, you know, we're not just going against the grain with this stuff. You know, when we talk about voter ID and we talk about states cleaning up the voter rolls and we talk about only American citizens can vote, you know, these are overwhelmingly supported by the vast majority of the voters in Pennsylvania and across the country. So we feel very comfortable knowing that we have the right laws in place and that we're going to have them enforce, then we can trust that election. And that's so important for everybody across the country. The voter ID is a work in progress, but I did notice here in Pennsylvania, Chairman, it seems to me this time around the voter registration purges have been bigger and they've been on the money with this. When we have Scott Preser on each week, he gives us the count. And every time we see these purges, the Democrat registrations go down more than the Republicans. I take that as a welcome sign. In the past, we know that Pennsylvania very, I mean, Joe Frazier, the former champion, has been voting in the last four or five elections. We joke about it, but how is Joe Frazier on that ballot to be doing that? And finally, we're seeing tangible results. But can you tell us something? We see Pennsylvania across the country. What is it that's a hopeful sign that this is sinking in? Well, I think that the hopeful sign is the fact that Donald Trump won every one of the battleground states and they were narrow wins. We did not get a landslide in Pennsylvania. We had a two-point win. We didn't have a landslide in Michigan and Wisconsin. They were 0.8 and 0.6%. So the fact that we were able to win all of those elections cleanly, even though they were very, very close, that to me is very upbeat. That is very optimistic. And what we've got right now with the House being in Republican hands, the Senate being Republican controlled, we have the right committees that are already looking at federal legislation to help clean up these rules. We're going into every single state. We're going to be focusing, again, starting now on the 26 elections and making sure that the rules of the road are set up the right way and that the laws are going to be enforced. Chairman, thank you. Thanks for coming on here in Philadelphia routinely with us that we continue to emphasize this. You're welcome anytime and we appreciate the great work. Well, we really appreciate you and your listeners. And as you know, we're getting ready to watch the ceremony in Washington where they're going to certify this election cycle and then we're going to go into the inauguration. I think it's a great time to remind everybody that it's not just that you win. You got to win for the right reasons and you got to do the right things. And we're so excited to watch President Trump take office on the 20th and immediately get to the work of the American people. Absolutely. Thank you, Chairman. Enjoy Vegas and enjoy the inauguration. All right. Take care, sir. Thank you. Michael Watley with us here on Talk Radio 1210. All right, 855-839-1210. So we got the saves these things going on. Maybe Henry's slowly being won over. Who in the world, though, is in favor of what the Archdiocese of Philadelphia is doing today, saying, oh, no, we have the capability. We have remote. We're doing this by Zoom. Now, let me differentiate. Philadelphia Public Schools only has one snow day in their calendar. And they say that, you know what, though? We're all about learning here. How's that gone, Philadelphia Public Schools? You are. And we'll do Zoom on these. Can you just imagine how much of a dog and pony show where we threw with the Philadelphia Public Schools and most of the public schools with Zoom learning and the disaster during COVID. You've seen it. We all know it. It's very difficult even for adults to be productive for too long of a period of time around that. Now, the Archdiocese has the discipline factor on their side, but I object to it with all deference because snow days are a rite of childhood, a sled throwing snowballs, just being off and playing video games even, is part of it versus this notion of no. We have Zoom and Zoom it shall be. And we're going to engage in that when we have the opportunity. And that's it. So I take it to mean no snow days, although I'm not sure. I have to look at their website to see if they have no snow days built in and their calendar, their schedule. I don't know if teachers go to the high school or not. They have to get in. I don't know if they're on Zoom from home, which I'm sure the technology they could be. But we're at a point here. How in the world would we say no snow days? That's just ridiculous to me. This is another ridiculous thing. Now, I'm sure of the vague Rama Swami is probably checking that box and saying, "Finally, they're listening to me. So are you pro snow day? Do we actually have to go down that path on this now?" All right, eight, five, five, eight, three, nine, twelve, ten. That's how you get in. I saw Matt Rooney on Twitter today. And he was kind of right at that point saying, "You know, this is a day why you do what they used to do, which is to wait. And then you make it determinate if you're going to be off from school that day because of the snow. Then suddenly, I looked out. It seemed like a half hour later. There was an inch and inch and a half. Suddenly, it happened. So maybe in advance, they were right. I think they were right with school off today in many places. You know, I have to go place by place, but in general sense. And it looked this morning like this was the French toast cabal. We know about them, right? You know, people stay in home. It's a great day for French toast. Dan's not Dan circulating around there, Amber. He's not there. I wanted a French toast tip from him. He's Mr. Dan, are you there now? Yeah, I'm here. I'm here with the French toast. This is the French toast cabal day. Yeah, the big French toast. Yeah. Because it looked this morning, like, not a lot was going to happen. I thought Rooney was right, then all of a sudden it did. Now, I can't complain. I'm in the dom dome. You guys had to slug it out and get down there. But what is the... You are Mr. Brunch. So what is the technique for great French toast? Well, we call it French toast, but it's milk eggs and bread. I really don't have much of a technique. I know there's some specific bread that's used off in. Prissants? No, no. It's... What is the best kind of French toast? Caula French toast. The Jewish bread. Oh, oh, okay. Yeah, try that. And if you do that, you whip it up with some, you know, milk throwing in the pan. Oh, it's delicious. All right, I'm not a French toast guy. How are you not a French... Are you a pancake guy? It's too thick. Well, the pancake though, and I've been under fire on Twitter somewhat, people are saying, I want crepes, not pancakes. I told you the blue belt in makes this pancake. I wouldn't say it's burnt, but it's really too a crisp. And it's much smaller than those giant buttermilk as far as the... So it's a crepe? Well, it's a pancake on the menu. It's a flapjack. Well, it's a crepe though, if it's... I'm all about that versus those buttermilk. Oh, I'm not a fan of pancakes. No. Yeah, too big of a deal. So I don't know if it is a crepe or not, but crepe away to me. Henry, any French toast tip from you? He's a waffle guy. No, I mean, I am a waffle guy. I can tell. Yeah, you just know it by looking at me. I'm just a waffle guy. No, a waffle is superior of those three foods, absolutely. No, I don't... French toast is probably my third of those three. I don't like how thick it is. I feel like it's too much at the point. Like the first couple bites, like, oh, it's pretty good. And then after... I don't want to even finish this. Yeah, remember, this is the ultimate brunch food though, I think. That and some kind of mimosa of some sort. Oh, I think it's got to be like some sort of breakfast sandwich, like a bacon, egg, and cheese. I think the French toast is the elevated version of your, you know, bread-based breakfast. I guess it is. You know, these, all you just do is you throw it on a waffle iron and throw pancake batter together, but this you actually have to do a whole process. That takes time. Yes. Awesome. Get in a trash youtube.com/at1210wphd, or allegedly it's pronounced hala bread, not kala, as I said. Oh, yeah. I noticed I didn't jump in with any correction, so I wouldn't be impugned, but I had nothing to do with it. Hala. Hala to you too. All right. 855-839-1210. I can't check, Dandy. You see the poll on my Twitter. Is it over? I forget the number of hours at Dom Show 1210, at Dom Show 1210 on the savesies. It was five hours left. Oh, five hours left. Is it about 72% yes? 69% yes. Oh, God, dipping under 70%. What's the world coming to? And there were a lot of voters on this. It's just every year it goes down. And I say it's a sign of people not getting private property, even though it's public property. It's not private property. Well, it is earned property then. You earned it, and somebody lazy comes along. All right. So if I go mow the lawn of an open, you know, you can buy this land. Do I now own the land? No. I did the work. Same thing. You know, it was overgrown down. I did the work. It's now mine. Sometimes you might be able to do that under law. It depends. Yeah, there are liens or all kinds of things. Are you in favor of squatters? No, I'm definitely not. You you are a squatter. If you come into my space, that's the very point. You are a squatter. If you reserve the space. No, you're a squatter. If you come into a place that clearly was earned. And marked, I might add, by some family earloom. Like a broken old pool table I had that we used to put out. All right, eight five five eight three around mowing a bunch of lawns and sticking claims to land. AT&T and Verizon wireless Scott Presler here at two o'clock today coming up the January six pardons on this January six. All right, who should Trump pardon? And who should he not pardon? And there are a lot of people. I think he should commute the sentence and or pardon based upon what's happened. And I'll explain the numbers and all that also over the holidays. I think it was on Friday. I'm pretty sure it was this attorney to this surgeon general on his way out decides a grandstand and tell people cancer attributable 17% of breast cancers to alcohol moderate drinking even one drink a day. That's just for posh cancer eight five five eight three nine twelve ten. Come to your tango show. Welcome in everything in play. Don't forget to take that poll on Twitter at Dom Show 12 time. We got to get it up over 80% the people to say that's common sense. You get to save your spot. Now side question today, epiphany, the feast of the epiphany, right? We're looking for an epiphany in the sense of a moment where something strikes someone and they change their mind once they have an insight. All right, here are mine then we'll get Henry's and Dan's. They could be real or fictional. Sir Isaac Newton, right? Oh, yeah. The apple. Yeah. Oh, gravity. Oh, I didn't think about nobody ever thought about that. The sixth sense. Spoiler alert. When he realizes he's the one that's dead also. And the matrix where Neil, not the decision, but where Neil does the thing with the yes with the oh, what's the guy's name? All right. The agent telling him, come on. He realizes now they can't do anything with him when the agents turn. Yeah, more to Smith Smith. Yeah. Yeah. Now after the initial matrix, it's all pretty bad. I can't even remember half of the stuff that they talk about, but Dan, what's your epiphany? How about Luke? I am your father. Today, whether or not that was actually said from Star Wars. Yes. That's a good one. And just an overall epiphany that I've had recently that nobody's going to give a damn about you if you don't give a damn about yourself. Oh, that's a very good one. Yeah. That's yeah, you can personalize it in a little bit. If you give it, it's on the call. If you give us enough on that. There you go. Henry, how about yours? Yeah. So I'll take a real life epiphany off the board. How about Sugar Ray Robinson dreaming that he was going to kill Jimmy Doyle in the ring, had to be talked back into the fight and then ended up killing him after the fight? Oh, man. Yeah, that's a tough one. And then if we're going to do a movie as well, how about the movie on Sunday? It is a French Canadian film done by my favorite director, Denis Villanuve. I won't spoil it. I won't say what it is. I'll just say one plus one equals one. If you know, you know. All right, then. All right. Sounds like the Golden Globes have broken out here by the Golden Globes last night. Take away from this. It was the Ozempic. And I want to talk about this a little bit. Whatever happened, the body positivity. Remember the Hollywood people and all that stuff about body positivity and et cetera. Now I didn't see anybody. Well, yeah, there was a British actress, I guess it was. But other than that, I thought they were a scream and get her the Ozempic. And we got this duel where Elon Musk is in favor of it for himself and everybody else apparently. RFK Jr. No. And RFK Jr. Apparently over the weekend, Tucker Carlson says, cane sugar for Coca-Cola, not fructose. That's what he's going to try to insist on. Oh, man, do you want big coke coming after you? His hearing with these goofy senators. Oh goodness. Are you taking a pro high fructose corn syrup stand? No, no. I'm just saying that you don't want big coke coming after you as far as lobbyists. I mean, this guy better have a lot of protection here. They're not fooling around. They don't want to do that. I'm in agreement with, I wouldn't drink it anyhow. But I mean, it's obviously better. And I'm saying these senators are not exactly well schooled on all this stuff. But they're bought and big agriculture buys them and these others. So they're going to really challenge Kennedy Jr. on some of this stuff. All right, phone lines are 855-839-1210. Scott Prezler at two, Congressman Dan Muser, who got into it on Fox News once about January 6 with one of the Fox hosts. He'll be here at 235. All that straight ahead. Talk Radio 1210. Tom Girdano, weekdays 9 till noon. On talk radio 1210, WPHD. Tom Girdano, on talk radio 1210, WPHD. On Philadelphia's talk radio 1210, WPHD, WPHD, WPHD, WPHD, WPHD, WPHD3, Philadelphia. Always live on the free Odyssey app. It's down time. Now, Tom Girdano. All right, it is Tom time. Welcome in, everyone. 855-839-1210. You get on board. Our buddy, Jeff Van Drew, just sent out a release. Hopefully, he'll be on tomorrow. He will now be the chairman of the oversight committee in the House Judiciary Committee. I think Jordan is the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. It's a subcommittee, but that's the committee with oversight for, you know, other than being chairman of the Judiciary Committee. That's the position that you want if you're in Judiciary. That's a main player. We'll break that down with him. He is advancing tremendously, and that is great news. Our buddy Scott Prezler, and look, you know, give it a rest a little bit. Some people on my Twitter saying, "Oh, I don't know about that." He shows up at the farm show, which is a great place, and I've never been to the farm show, not from me, seeing the cow made out of butter and all that. Oh, my God. Sorry, rural, Domville. Not someplace I'd go, but he goes there. You know the reason why voters registration, and he must have known that Federman was going to be there. So Scott Prezler had quite a conversation with Federman saying, "If you ever want to become a Republican, we'd love to have you. Here's what I would do, et cetera, et cetera." And he's standing there, and I don't know who filmed it. I think it was a Prezler guy because Prezler looked every bit as tall as Federman to me. Now, he did have the boots on. Federman had on whatever he calls those shoes. Federman, though, is a legit 6/8, I'd say, maybe even a little bit more, and Scott is about 6/5. So he'll be here at 2 o'clock. We're waiting to get the registration numbers, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. What's next? And his conversation with Senator Federman. Now, Federman is still a liberal guy, contrarian, most stuff, and all that. But on several things like the upcoming confirmation hearings, I think he's going to vote for some of these Republicans. I'm not sure which ones it'll be hard. I could see him voting for an RFK junior, potentially. Pete Haggseth, by reading the room, appears to have enough Republican votes to get to the magic number, to get to the majority. That's the story over the weekend. Cash Patel seems to be a little bit of an uphill battle, and Tulsi Gabbert may be a little bit more. One of those may be they'll vote against to show they voted against something, but Patel is the key guy to get in there with the FBI. We talked about that routinely. Now, on Friday's show, we saw this in the middle of the show, and I was talking to Don a little bit about it. I had a little bit of time over the weekend to run it down in that we had this grandstanding head of the Surgeon General come out with this report saying that he wants people. Here's a headline in the Wall Street Journal rebutting him today by Alicia Finley. As with his other work, the Surgeon General's report is laid on facts heavy on expanding government. He wants to put warning labels on beer, spirits, and wine. She writes, "No moderate drinking won't give you cancer." And we go through this, a number of academic studies that refute what he said about any alcohol used. 200 pages of findings run counter. She cites the National Academy of Sciences Engineering and Medicine, released a congressionally mandated review of the recent evidence of health effects of moderate drinking of up to one drink a day for women and two for men. Hey, finally an advantage here. Wait a minute, women only get one drink and get two to be a moderate drinker. And Dr. Murthy's claims that alcohol use is a leading preventable cause of cancer contributing to nearly 100,000 cancer cases and 20,000 cancer deaths each year. This estimate is based on models of associations from cherry picked observational studies. But even the report partially attributed only 17% of those estimated deaths to moderate drinking. And the thing that jumped out at me, and Henry was on with me, I think it was Friday, Sky actually saying 17% of breast cancer due to moderate drinking alcohol is the cause. So in order, they are tobacco, obesity, and then the third thing was alcohol usage, even if moderate. Now, you know, it's such a painful thing, cancer of any sort, but breast cancer, major focus, all kinds of fundraising rallies for it, etc. And this guy is triggering something along the lines of, Oh man, you know, I can't have a glass of wine now, because he's talking about moderate drinking or even beer. And I try to liken it when the Surgeon General came out with the warning on cigarette smoking, it was appropriate this government regulation to put that on cigarettes at that time. I mean, now do people not know that? Is it not all over the place that this is a causal element? It's something to be aware of. You're taking a risk, maybe a significant risk if you're smoking of any sort. I'd say, yeah, it's legit. I don't see the warning labels because people would go nuts. The body positivity crowd about obesity on anything like we put them on ding dongs or, you know, think of something fattening. I don't think they're on there in that manner. So now suddenly on wine, spirits, and even beer, we're going to put warning labels, even if you're a moderate drink or something of that nature. This guy is just. Well, let me ask you this. Do you think there should be warning labels on marijuana products in New Jersey? I have to see more. I don't know what they say. Are there any on them? Yeah. Oh, yeah, there's tons and cigarettes in all. Well, yeah, cigarettes. Yeah, definitely. We know and it's of such a it's unrefutable. I mean, on cigarettes. So with marijuana, I'd have to see the warning labels to see how far they go, how draconian they are. And what do they say? Cancer causing? It can cause psychosis. I think some of them say. I think there are carcinogen warnings as well. I don't know for sure. I'd have to see exactly what they say. Probably not. You know, the psychosis thing to me is well, particularly with legal marijuana. I mean, I'm under the impression it's not where street marijuana has going to be more potent. Well, to your point, I mean, I just pulled out my. Yeah. So my Q pods are the little big pods that I have warning this product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. There's no mention about carcinogens or anything on here. Okay. Yeah. Well, with nicotine, I think it's so extreme that I'd be in favor of this. This is tangential. If at all, really here. Do I think, you know, my bias, because I think glass of red wine a day might even be helpful. If not a day, four or five times a week. Yeah, I still do. I think there's evidence of that. I don't know or of any wine. I don't know you don't and your suspect of that, I think, right? I just if there's actual, you know, if there's truth to this claim that 17% of breast cancer is caused by this and I mean, those numbers are really frightening to be quite honest. Well, this is thing. If we're putting on cigarettes because of the high, you know, chance of this causing cancer, then I do think it's appropriate to put it on alcohol as well. All right, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, I just read released a congressionally mandated review of this more than 200 pages of findings. They counter they contradict Dr. Murphy's only scant 22 page report, although they didn't get a lot of attention in the media. He did. In other words, it's the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine saying, no, there's no connection that rises to any level here. I mean, that's pretty potent to me. I wonder if it's one of those things where like, you know, the doctor asks you, like, do you drink, do you smoke, like, you know, how good your health, all those background questions. And I wonder, like, if someone who gets cancer answers, you know, pretty much know to all those questions, except drinking, and they say like, Oh, well, you have cancer. The only thing you did is drinking. It must be attributed to the drinking. Well, maybe. Yeah, I wonder how deep this study goes, or if it's just like any sort of statistic where you can just move the numbers around and make it say what you wanted to say. Yeah, I think this guy is, again, the Wall Street Journal piece really goes into some of the overregulation he wants. There's no doubt about cigarettes. Probably cigars, too, to a lesser degree, where I, you don't want to do warning labels. So when they did it with cigarettes, it was necessary. Tobacco industry was really pushing back hard, saying, No, come on, you live to be 90. Don't worry about it. I think we need to see some of those, like, anti smoking PSAs, you know, make a return to the airwaves. I haven't seen those on TV in a while. And you think people, I don't see that many people smoking, though, you do? Yeah, I think it's a little bit more trendy. Obviously, I see more vaping than I do smoking. Yeah, yeah, that, yeah, and I get it because there's a sense that, and you probably are lessening any kind of ill effects. Yeah, I don't know. I think that's legit. But how much you want to roll today? And that's another story. But it is lessening it. Yeah. Okay, you can get in at 855. You ever see the warning labels on Canadian cigarettes and all? No, but it's the whole thing of warning labels. Well, no, it's like an actual picture of, like, lungs that have been rotted out by cigarettes, you know, pictures of tracheomas and such and essentially heightened warning, even farther than what America does. Yeah, I, I think we have saturated now, letting people know, I don't want to overkill them into the ground if they're a cigarette smoker. But extending that, here's the thing, we did the same thing here in Philadelphia with big sugar, right? Big soda. We went after soda. Why didn't we go after donuts, for example? I don't know the sugar, I mean, there are certain there, I'm trying to think of the other food contents or beverages that have a lot of sugar. We went after them because we could, they were a convenient target, we were going to take money from them and no one was going to stop us. But we won't go after other foods that might cause just as bad on the sugar front and maybe heart disease, etc. Why? Well, we're afraid that a lot of people in Philadelphia are going to revolt. But look what happened in Philadelphia proves that it can be done. Did Philadelphia revolt? Nope. They all got together, they conspired with the building trade unions and all these others who got paid off to do a bunch of stuff. And they essentially put this onerous tax on soda. They know better. And people are not drinking as much soda now. Should they do the same thing with alcohol? Would they do that? I don't think so. I always think of an Eagles fan. How will they react to something like this? As a prime demographic of people. All right, here are the phone lines, 855-839-1210, hit us with an epiphany, some moment where something changed, something struck you a little bit differently. Hit us with that. Coming up, Elon Musk goes after New Jersey testing on Twitter effectively, I think. I hope he tweets a lot more about it. I'll tell you what that is, all straight ahead on Talk Radio 12 Tech. All right, time to hear down the show, welcome in. Good Monday. Been waiting to get to this. Dan just found the former representative Kinzinger, still calling it a coup. I'm talking about today's the day, January 6th, of course, four years ago. We know the whole deal. It was a riot. There are some people there. I don't care what you say who deserve a lot of jail time. But by and large, there are an unbelievable number of arguments to be made about why Trump should carefully either commute and or pardon on the first day that he's in office any number of people. Prosecutors had a bunch of potential charges to choose from. And in many instances, a number of prosecutors went for the most extreme they could, trying to get people to admit to something called section 1512, which figures in a quarter of the January 6 cases, even though the Supreme Court said there's no attempt to conceal information here. You can't have a coup. You can't have an insurrection. You can't have any of that. So why did these people then plead to that? Because they were told if they didn't take a lesser sentence, they get 20 years. That's why. So again, I think it's smart and maybe some people are going to disagree. They think Trump, do you think President Trump should just commute and or pardon all these people involved? There are hundreds if not approaching a thousand. I'd say no. But if he has his people going through carefully case by case, any number of people have been overcharged and the conditions in which they've been placed in in the manner that this is going on has been more persecution than prosecution. The prosecutorial power here has led to unjust results that can be remedied by Trump's power. Kinsinger doesn't see it that way. Here's what he said today. Congressman Kinsinger, you were you were in the house. You actually tweeted at 4 30 p.m. four years ago on this day. You you tweeted this is a coup attempt. Do you think that history will remember this the way it actually? Yeah, I do. I do. Look, we're in this emotion. You know, Donald Trump got defeated. He convinced. I mean, look, he convinced his base that he that election was stolen from them. And that for four years built this like intense anger where they truly believe this deep state, you know, garbage was happening. He's going to be president now for four years. He's going to own everything that happens in the economy, everything that happens in the world. And that like excitement that like we've been robbed will wear off and history has this amazing ability to accurately reflect the happenings of that day. And so while maybe today it's kind of surreal that we're here four years later after that and putting Donald Trump back in the presidency, history will not be kind to him. And I'm glad you brought up my tweet because I actually had this ready to go. Speaker Johnson tweeted this on January 6 2021. I unambiguously condemn in the strongest possible terms any in all forms of violent protests, any individual who committed violence today should be prosecuted the fullest extent of the law. It goes on for a whole nother thing. And now that's going to be a question when Donald Trump gets into office and decides if he want to prosecute the people that looked into what happened on January 6 and embarrassed him. And does he want to pardon the people that actually did what Speaker Johnson just four years ago said they should be prosecuted endlessly with this guy. And again, the thing out of this, I have a whole list here. I don't know if I call every one of them a lie. I'm going to give you the 10 of them. Some I would characterize as overstated. Some of them are outright lies trying to form a historical picture of this that is a lie. Some of them, all right, it's the other side to puffing it up. For example, nobody's charged with insurrection here. How are you hearing having an insurrection? Kinzinger there also saying this made up deep state. Really. Now, if you talk about the deep state in some terms that are wild, then I'm not signing off. If you talk about people, the status quo in Washington, kind of a uni party, people like Mitch McConnell and others, and people that are in various levels of government, maybe not the cabinet officer, but below, slow walking, trying to block Trump, trying to sabotage. Absolutely, they're still there, some of them. And absolutely, they did it before. And he was more unaware, coming in in 2016, about how effective they could be with this. Now we're looking at, how do you root them out of there? So the federalists today have a bunch of these. They have 10, they say all lies. Some of them, I might not say a lie as much as, again, not accurate, over puffed, but January six was an insurrection, flat out, flat out off the mark, not an insurrection, doesn't have the elements that you would need for an insurrection. Democracy almost died, not true. Trump was enthusiastic about the violence. Where's the evidence of that Trump tried to hijack the limo to the riot at the Capitol himself. That seems to be way off the mark versus testimony going back and forth. Trump dismissed the need for the National Guard. Well, that would be Nancy Pelosi. We've been through this. We've had on Steven Sun, who was in charge, one of the people of the Capitol police inside the Congress. And he lays much of this more at the feet of Nancy Pelosi. Demonstrations were mostly violent. Well, they weren't. Now that doesn't mean the people that attacked police, that doesn't mean some of the people that were engaged in this. We could quibble over the numbers. I'd have to see the exact action point by point. Any number of them, though, I'm putting in jail for a good long time. The numbers, well, we'll see when these cases come up. We'll see what Trump does. That's why I don't think Trump should be like Joe Biden and just say I'm commuting everybody. You know, I can't figure it out. No, no, you got to do better on that. And I don't think he'll do that. I don't think he does stuff like that. But I think on day one, you are going to see a number of sentences commuted and/or people pardoned because of how excessive this has been. Capitol police officer was killed and right, untrue. How many times have we been down this path? It was bad enough. They were attacked. They weren't killed in this situation. Ashley Babbitt is the one who was killed inside the Capitol. This guy, Laddermilk, the congressman who did the most recent report on all this, gave writers a reconnaissance tour. Not true. The FBI is cleared this whole thing. And the January 6th committee was legitimate. It was not. There was nobody on there that was going to offer the other side, raise questions, push back like say, Jim Jordan. Nancy Pelosi would not do that. So who did she put on there? Well, to have Republicans on there, she put this Cheney and Kinzinger, who might be as hostile or more hostile to Trump than anybody you could imagine. So on this day, the fourth anniversary, it brings us to January 20th. And as I say, where I stand, and we can go through a case-by-case once we see what he does, there are people who deserve punishment. And then there are people who have already been punished enough and/or excessively. They should be commuted. And in some cases, completely pardoned. Again, justice that's done on a case-by-case basis. However, at CNN, they still haven't gotten the message. Here's Jake Tapper today. And Tapper going after Ted Cruz. One second on that, Donald. Okay. Yeah. Right. At images from the floor of the House of Representatives, members of the House and Senate are gathering in what is there. And there is the speaker Mike Johnson and Vice President Kamala Harris. It's obviously a bipartisan or even nonpartisan event where the leaders of this country come together to count the electoral votes. There's Ted Cruz, the senator from Texas, who was one of the main individuals who helped cause what happened four years ago by putting forward the falsehood that the vice president could somehow do something to stop the electoral count. Well, he could. I mean, that's a decision. And then you'd have to see whether this met the standards of legality, et cetera. Ted Cruz, though. My goodness. Dan, nothing has happened there, right? They're just kind of milling around and gathering. They haven't done the certification yet. Yeah. Because I'm looking to see, because this has happened in the past, where some Democrats vote against certification. We've had this before. It's at a two hundred one eighties at six. No, what's going on here? All right. Okay. Yeah. I'll let you know one second. Okay. Yeah. Well, we'll let you know once we have the full certification vote and where it goes. All right. Phone lines are eight, five, five, eight, three, nine, 12, 10. That's how you get in. AT&T have a rise in wireless. All that you have to do is just push pound 12, 10. Bottom line is that there are any number of things out there. The biggest one to me, the insurrection charge, still trying to go that Trump is ineligible because of insurrection when no one's charged with insurrection here. And various Supreme Court rulings have taken away that option. Anyhow, even if they thought to do that, have some people been overcharged where they boxed in in order to put more of a penalty on them because Democrats in Washington were in, yes, that's the case. Are some of them deserve real jail time? Yes. Show me the case. We'd have to go into great detail. That's what I hope Trump is doing. And I hope you see a lot of people sentence, commuted and/or pardoned on inauguration day, but not the Biden approach to this whole thing. All right. Phone lines are eight, five, five, eight, three, nine, 12, 10. Nancy mates. Sorry. The one observation I've had from watching this is Kamala is not thrilled to be handing the paper to who's comes up next and has to announce to you. Yeah. Well, on that, if it were me and I had lost, I'd have a lot of trouble doing it. I mean, admit, you know, that just like if I were say, Juan Barkley, I would be barking today. We've all, I'm not forgetting about that one. And what happened, I was still tweeting because I had heard he might slip in there for a few carries on Sunday. Yeah. One bit of bad strategy. You know, yes, surprise them. Yeah, surprise them. Wasn't even dressed. None of that stuff. We'll see. Uh, eight, five, five, eight, three, nine, 12, 10. And you weren't here, but Ray Deninger was on the side of, no, don't play him. That may lead to tomorrow's side question, which is someone who broke your heart, afraid of, oh, you broke my heart. You disappoint me. Yeah. We might do that tomorrow. Christie was another name that when I said it, but when Ray did it, and I'll come, all right, come on. And he was at him and about it. His argument, biggest argument was he was saying, well, Eric Dickerson is not someone who we see. Is that great? There's nothing, no man, all that goes with this. So Saquan Barkley wouldn't be either. That was an interesting card from Ray. I was kind of surprised. He did turn me on that on that. Oh, because I only, like I said on Friday, like I only know Eric Dickerson because he has the rushing record. Right. No one ever talks about him. Like they talk about a Barry Sanders or Walter Payton or Jim Brown. Anyone like that? Well, that's because football records though, I think are buried in the team concept are hard to pull out. You know, I saw that Aaron Rodgers through, was it 501, 502, whatever now, is a 503. Okay. Touchdowns. And I knew he was on the cusp of it, but putting 500 in exact certitude, like I would know the home run thing, maybe the top 10 breaking news here. Yeah, let's hear the moment that Texas announced their electoral votes, which sent Trump over the 270 number now having 289. But this is the moment that Trump got those votes officialized, equalism. Man, a president, the certificate of the electoral vote of the state of Texas seems to be regular and form and authentic. And it appears there from the Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida, received 40 votes for president and JD Vance of the state of Ohio received 40 votes for vice president. Madam president, the certificate of the electoral vote of the state. And they continue from there, but that was the deciding vote there. All right. So over the top, on now to the countdown, what damage can Biden do between now and inaugural day? What can he get in the face with more okay? Here's how you get in Nancy Mase. I was just saying a moment ago, interesting bill, simple to port illegal aliens who are involved in sex crimes. Why did about 180 Democrats vote against it? And particularly who voted against it in our area? I'll tell you who those are. Hit us on the side question. Give us an epiphany. Give us something that change your mind like on the real up best. Paul on the road to Damascus. Right. It's hit with lightning. Yes, all Paul. Yes, that's was it. It is Paul. It was all. And then he had the epiphany and he went to Paul. What do you mean changing his name to Paul? Yeah. All right. You saw he was a bad guy, and then he got struck down where he's blinded. I don't think so. I don't think that's accurate. Yeah, Saul went to Paul. All right. I'm going to Google that one, Henry. If you're right. Got changed. Saul's name to Paul. Yeah. All right. All right. 855-839-12 down. That's 12 years ago. Let's go right there. All right. 18 AT&T. Well, that that is an epiphany. AT&T and Verizon wireless. All you have to do is just push. But it's not the same Paul. Oh, okay. So there's two Paul's. There's a Paul in the apostle and then saw the persecutor became Paul the persecutor. I'm thinking of Paul the apostle. I'm not sure why I may conflate him. Oh, wait. No, maybe I'm wrong. There's only one apostle after like Jesus is death. Am I wrong? Well, there's two Paul's in. No, there's one. I think I was wrong in saying that. Okay. I apologize. All right. Okay.

Welcome in 855-839-1210. You get on board. Hit us with an epiphany here too. That's what we're looking for a Nancy Mays. This bill to deport illegal immigrants who commit sex crimes is pretty straightforward. Yet Mary Gay Scanlon and her buddy, the Dean of Decency and Summer Lee, probably the most radical person in Congress, all voted against that. Did they ever pay attention out there in places like Montgomery County to what Dean and Scanlon in her neck of the woods are doing? And over in New Jersey, our buddy who always is on the right side according to the media, Andy Kim, he voted against it. Bobby Menendez did also a pretty simple thing. The battle-reaging today now is the media trying to defend what New Jersey is doing, claiming that we're saying you don't have to read, be able to read, to be a teacher, write, or do math. That's not what I'm saying, but what I am saying is it's fraudulent what they're doing and they're saying they're doing it to remove hurdles. When the film Murphy and progressives in New Jersey, when did they ever want to remove regulations or hurdles? Too many hurdles to quickly hiring teachers because we don't have enough teachers and get them into the schools. So the argument is, well, you guys are making it up. Now Elon Musk has involved that you don't have to be able to read. Well, you don't have to do a basic test of reading. Do I think any number of people that are teachers in Jersey couldn't pass this stuff? Yeah. I would be willing to put the figure at 10 to 15 percent easily. Can't pass the writing, the reading, the math. Maybe all three or at least one of those three. I might go as high as a quarter that they can't pass one of them. Why in the world would you have to remove that? You give them a test, you mark it, and you move forward with the "Ah, it takes too long." It's fascinating to me because if you think about any other profession, you want to become an accountant, you've got to pass an exam. You want to become a real estate agent, you've got to pass an exam. You want to become Damjordana's producer, you have to pass a physical exam. All these things, though, like Praxis, when I was becoming a teacher, it was a big hurdle. You had to study for it. And that was something that I was considering before I entered into radio was teaching. And you know what? It's a roadblock that's deserved, though. I, as a person studying for that exam, never thought to myself, well, this is BS that we've got to do this exam. It's no. I understand that I have to meet these qualifications to prove that I am worthy of hosting children and teaching them in my classroom what they should know. It's nuts need to remove this kind of thing from here now. And yeah, I'm trying to use, as the backdrop, the idea that we need to get more teachers into the classroom, you guys, meaning me, conservatives, libertarians, are always against all these regulations. Suddenly, they don't want any regulation on this. How much more time would this take to do this? No, they know. The problem is these people can't read effectively, can't do math effectively, and certainly can't write effectively. Well, we've dumbed down the standards, and they still can't do it. I may have to look up some Praxis questions, Dan. You may have to pull up one here, too, just as, you know, a regular example of it. And if they can't do that, how can they be in the classroom? Because we want them to, because of DEI requirements, because of the NJEA exerting their power. So we want much just chumps in and goes after them on Twitter. If he does it two or three more times, there is going to be a groundswell. So now I'm saying they're claiming that Fox News says that you don't have to be able to read to be a teacher in New Jersey. I would argue you don't have to be able to prove that you can read effectively to be a teacher in Jersey. There's no doubt about it. How do we know they can? You want some questions? Yeah, give us a question, Dan. What is the Moon's position relative to Earth during a lunar eclipse? A, the Moon is behind the Sun, B, the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth, C, the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, and D, the Moon is at the zenith point. Is there more information given there, though? What what can we set in? It's uh, I guess science? Well, I don't know if there's science. Yeah, yeah, no, it's from, uh, yeah, science, the education science portion. Okay, but you don't have to pass that, though. It's it's reading, writing, and math. And the writing, I think, might be the most problematic here. Do you happen to see a reading question? Maybe we would eat a paragraph. I have a math question. Yeah. Barbara's catering company makes the best fruit salad despite using only four ingredients. They use four apples for every mango, two pairs for every apple, and one pineapple for every mango. If they used eight pineapples in their most recent batch, how many total pieces of fruit do they use? 32, 64, 96, 112, or 144. I have no idea. I don't expect you to know either because you weren't writing it down, I don't think, but I mean, these are the standard kind of word questions that you do expect to give your students, right? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, particularly if they're math teachers and or elementary, and they teach math, that question, the science question is a little bit trickier. I got to think a lot about that. But the writing sample part, I mean, how long reading and language arts sample? Yeah, yeah, yeah. An individual who speaks a language historically related to English may have an advantage in learning English as a second language, because a, the affixes of the individual's first language will be similar to English, b, many words and roots are likely to have similar spellings and meanings, c, the individual may rely on knowledge of etymology, or d, the cultures using the two language will be very similar. Doesn't seem like a reading question would be on that, or maybe all of the above. Yeah, maybe we should investigate whether these questions are di based in themselves. Well, that question right there is di based. Notice the bias they're trying. Oh, yeah. Well, you spoke English because your language was closer to it. This language is not close to it. So, I don't know if the school districts then are testing teachers. In my experience, they're not, they're interviewing you, they're seeing where you talked before, which your degree wasn't all that. I don't remember them ever testing you. So why was testing put in because of the stub standard level of teachers? And as a result, they had a basic skills test, praxis. The whole irony of this thing too is you have a exam here that's required, right? But then you are going to enforce to your kids that they've spent what 30% of their time in the classroom studying for these types of exams? Well, they would get rid of those too. I would not. You know, there's some people in the right who would too. We're not going to know what kids know unless you test them. So, you know, you want to say teaching to the test and all that. It's abysmal. We know that but how abysmal and teachers, you're not going to know what they can do unless you test them. But in fairness, they should know they should have practice test and things of that nature. But that question, what do they give us the correct answer? I don't know. I didn't click through. It seems like all of them, they would go for it. It seems to be loaded and spiced. Every one of those things might be the correct answer. I do have another more traditional reading question. Okay. Curious if you know the answer. What is the underlying message of a piece of literature? Is it a thematic statement, a subject, a theme or a motif? The underlying message of a piece of literature? Yeah. And the answer is where a theme? Thematic statement, subject or motif. I think it's thematic statement. Close, it's theme. That's what it is. The correct answer. And they differentiate between theme and thematic statement. Yeah. But I highlight this question because I think this is something important for teachers to know that they shouldn't be calling something the wrong name if it's a motif, but they're talking about a theme or if it's a theme and they call it a motif. A lot of those answers and those questions were probably partially right, but they're not entirely right. They're like SAT questions. You need the best answer. And that's what they want to see from teachers. Can you come to that conclusion? Because if you can, then you can make sure your students can. Well, really, in truth, the theme is not stated often in literature. That would be the fallback. So it's understood through the context of it. They don't state this is the theme. So if that's what they're going with, yeah, then it is theme. Okay. Well, are these representative questions? The math one, for example, I think is a good representative. I think you ought to be able to know that. At least pass this test. If they want to say the test is too hard or off the mark and they want to reform it, okay, but as of now, though, you don't have to pass anything. As I understand it, they assume that you can read, write, and do math. All right, we'll get to your calls coming up at 855-839-1210, AT&T, and for rising wireless, all you have to do is just push pound 1210. The state of the vote for the president of the United States as delivered to the president of the Senate is as follows. The whole number of the electors appointed to vote for president of the United States is 538. Within that whole number, the majority is 270. The votes for president of the United States are as follows. Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida has received 312 votes. Kamala Dee Harris. Kamala Dee Harris of the state of California has received 226 votes. All right, 855-839-1210. By the way, I saw a little factoid here. You guys can invite him on, Dan. This would be a shootout, and he's got all the information. He's the architect of this bill, apparently. Our buddy Jim Beach, I've always loved Jim Beach, of the Camden County beaches, you know, the board over in Camden County. He's the architect. Murphy signed the law. Murphy's not the architect. He's the architect of this, and Mediate says he's saying, "Well, we got to get more teachers." So you've lowered the standards, Jim. No, we have it. We've just done away with them. All right. You know what he's going to do? Let's see, but come on. I don't know if he's come on before. There were a couple of shootouts of various things I remember over the years, and he's essentially saying, "Well, they already have enough ways to determine if you can read and do all these other things. What might they be, and to what level? What level would you be comfortable with?" Jim, why couldn't it be streamlined that, you know, this is something worthy that you guys on the Democrat side don't understand, that you've got to move heaven and earth here, then give the test, make the test more available, get the mark quickly, and the ones that pass at school districts, one can move on. How about that as a solution? Nah. We'd rather just say, "You don't have to do this. We know that you can read and write and do things at the level that are appropriate." How do you know that? We know it. I'd be interested. I have to delve a little bit more into this rocket scientist role in doing this as a solution to get more teachers to dance point. You know, if it's a cop, if it's a nuclear power plant, we need a few. You know, so what's an eye? Come on, get out of here. So we'll see if he might come on. It's a national embarrassment. So what are they doing? They're striking back to say, "We're making it up about this." They are shortcutting. There is no doubt. As soon as I hear his name, as the ark, Jim, call in the show. We'll put you right in there. 855-839-1210. We need to get some epiphanies today, the Feast of the Epiphany. Give it something where the person or you saw something in a different way, right? Something that struck you, a revelation, a change. Real or fictional? There's a lot of really good fictional ones. Scott in Mount Laurel, he's in on Talk Radio 1210. Hello, Scott. Hey, now the theme of my call will be a case for Eric Dickerson. But before I say that, I saw something on Twitter where Lane Johnson and George Milano were having a 40-yard catch. Yes. Now 40 yards, that's an exact number. It's very true. It's almost like they were listening to the show. And they were kind of rubbing it in, I think. Yeah, that Philly Republican, one of my biggest supporters said, "Of course they should have told me to come down there." And then I said to Lane Johnson, "Come on, Lane. You know you've got to play for Sequon Barkley." If he had said he would play it, I think they would have done it. Lane makes the throw, but you might have a better arm than my a lot if you think you can throw it 40 yards, because he doesn't quite reach it. Actually, let's get the big man over at Mulligan's and have him bench press a few people and throw a football. I did see that. And it looked like 40, yeah. Yeah, I know, which was the exact number. I thought that was pretty funny. Because the Giants quarterback and Drew Locke throw a ball 40 yards. So I started to have dicks. Yeah, that's probably certainly not accurate, at least. Yeah. But yeah, you know, the big with Dickerson is he was three. I know it's not a sports show, but he was three-time NFC player of the year. His quarterbacks were Jeff Kemp, Dieter Brock, and I think they started to see them like Steve Dills. I mean, then he gets traded to the Colts where they were three and 13, and they go nine and six next year, strike short in the year, and they win the division. This guy was, and his quarterback there was Jack Trudeau. So there wasn't an in the box. Eric Dickerson was the greatest running back of my lifetime. I can't speak for Jim Brown in Sam, but I think Ray gave him short shrift. He was unbelievable what he did in the NFL. He was absolutely incredible. He turned Henry, was the magic of Ray did injure on that. I felt out on the island with him. What's your epiphany, Scott? My epiphany is that I used to debate politics, my friends, and I'd follow when I was younger, and the conclusion at that time was that, you know, we all want what's great for America. We all want the same thing. We just go about it differently. The epiphany was when I realized that the people in power in the Democrat party, they do not want the same things that we want. They do not want what's best for America. They want what's best for their own power and control, and that was a very sad epiphany, but an accurate one, I believe. Thank you, Scott. Well, the difference with Bill Maramix is playing all the time. Liberals, one thing. Progressives though, which, how much are they significant in the Democrat party still? Very. That's a big difference. All right. The great Scott Prezler is next. We'll get his meeting with John Federman. Federman, tell me, you might want to become a Republican, and this is the guy to do it. And Jim Beach over in South Jersey, essentially, Jim, you made national news by this proposal to say, uh, we know you can read 855-839-1210. You get on board. Tom Giordano, weekdays 9-0 noon, on talk radio 12-10, W.P.H.D. Tom Giordano, on talk radio 12-10, W.P.H.D. On Philadelphia's talk radio 12-10, W.P.H.D, W.P.H.D, W.P.H.D, W.O.G.L, E.D.D.3, Philadelphia. Always live on the free Odyssey app. It's dumb time. Now, Tom Giordano. All right. It is a dumb time. Welcome in. So, the farm show, that's where you go to register voters if you're Scott Prezler, and you might run into somebody of equal or slightly taller in the person of John Federman. What a picture over the weekend. What a meeting. Let's go to Scott Prezler here on talk radio 12-10. Hey, Scott. Happy New Year. Thanks for joining us, as always. Happy New Year. Thank you, Tom. Yeah, so Scott, yeah, the farm show is, um, speaks well with betterment too, the only one of the few Democrats, I think, that goes to it. Did you know that he was going to be there? No, well, I'm a little disappointed because my organization, Early Vote Action, signed up as a vendor for the Department of Agriculture's Farm Show, and all we wanted to do was register voters. And the farm show never got back to us, never contacted us. And so, I was like, whatever, I'll just show up and, you know, look around and see if there are any spots and speak to the administration office. And so, we're walking around the really large complex, and we're just noticing booth after booth is just vacant, empty. There are places that people should have staff and tables, and there's no one there. And so, we go and talk to the office, and they say, you know, every space is sold out. I'm so sorry. And, you know, if you're waitlisted, then they'll contact you if there's an opening. And so, that's where we're walking around. We see one table that's for John Fetterman, and it's empty, and we're like, oh, that's, you know, kind of interesting. And then we walk a little bit farther, and then we see another table, and Fetterman's table is there, and he and his wife are there. And I was like, okay, well, this is a perfect opportunity. I might as well go over and shake his hand and say, hi. And so, you know, if you guys think I'm tall at 6'5", he's even taller than I am. And I just shake his hand, and I say, Senator Fetterman, if you ever would like to become a Republican, we welcome you to the party. And we just kind of chitchatted for a second, nothing, nothing too heavy. And I just said that we share similar hairstyles. But, you know, ultimately, I'm just disappointed that the farm show wouldn't give us an opportunity to register voters. And so, I'm hopeful that we will be able to register them at the great American outdoor show that happens in February. That's the next step. Okay. All right. That's perfect. So, how are the Pennsylvania numbers looking today? Well, you would think that voter registration would slow down in December and January, but really it hasn't. And I'm putting you on speaker just for a second so I can read these off to you. So, Pennsylvania, a week ago, Democrats had an advantage of 214,000 voter registrations. And today, that lead has narrowed down to 211,798. So, in the last week alone, the Democrats had a net loss statewide of 2,381 voters. And if you take out the voters, Dom, that number goes down to 118,000. Now, to anyone that even might be saying, "Oh, my gosh, Scott, 218,000 is a lot." I want to remind you, back in 2012 with President Obama, the number of D minus R was 1.1 million. So, in 12 years' time, you guys have narrowed down that huge Democrat advantage to almost under 200,000. I mean, that is just earth shattering. That Pennsylvania is quickly becoming a purple and perhaps even light red state. Yeah, the goal, and it's a great metaphor that Pennsylvania could become the next Florida. Well, and we got finally, finally, New Jersey did its job and we have new numbers out of that state as well. And so, the Democrats, because they do it by month in Pennsylvania, we get it every 7 days on Mondays in New Jersey, you're supposed to get it every first of the year. And so, in the last month, New Jersey Democrats added 700 voters. New Jersey Republicans added 6,700 voters. So, to anyone that's in the beautiful garden state of New Jersey and you're thinking to yourself, "Oh my gosh, we're overrun by liberals." These Democrats, look, a lot of people, after the drone situation, they don't trust Governor Murphy or the state government there. And now, you just saw that Governor Murphy, as of yesterday, he is stopping literacy test for teachers at schools. So, if you want to make sure that New Jersey has a good education system, then I encourage you, register to vote today. I encourage you to register to vote as a Republican so you can vote in the close primaries. And you make a plan to vote on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. And if you come out, you will flip the New Jersey governor's ship from Democrat to Republican. Oh, without a doubt, every day it becomes more apparent, Scott, and there are mutual friends that we're meeting on Saturday that I talked to you about. I've never seen them as enthused about any person in any situation like this in Jersey because, you know, they fought the good fight all these years. Occasionally, they got a bone, Christie in there, something like that. They see a real sea change and they see you in your organization as the force that's actually going to take these people that, you know, they have the right mindset now. But for some reason, sometimes they don't act on it. They don't register. And then we had to follow up and get them to vote, even though they're infuriated with New Jersey. By the way, New Jersey was only, I think I have it here, second or third in the U-Haul survey, California's number one of people leaving the state versus those coming into it. Although, you know, I think this, I just have the leaving. Jersey usually leaving coming in is in first or second place. This is going on forever. And Scott, you've given them hope because their only hope was to move. They don't want to move. New Jersey has deep roots or put up with this continuously. This is the other avenue and the governor's office is wielding a lot of power in Jersey. It's a very powerful governor's office. Well, all it takes is a little bit of elbow grease, Don. And I mean, look at what we did with Bucks County. And I'm not blowing my horn here, but to just put things into perspective. We flipped Bucks County for the first time since 1988. We flipped it in voter registration, and we won the county by 300 votes. So voter registration does win elections. And I'm actually in Bucks County right now. And I just, you know, I went to the giant to get some coffee. Somebody recognized me from social media. I go to the iron brewery last night. Somebody recognized me. But it just shows that, you know, the work that we do has real-life ramifications, and that people are invested in it. And now that we have put our magnifying glass on New Jersey, people are going, wow, if Scott and his crew are focusing on New Jersey, New Jersey is in play. And part of it is believing that you can win. And so Susan, one of our staffers, she already got she got the ability to register voters outside of a supermarket. And so we're already laying the foundation as early as now in January of 2025. And we're hitting the ground running. I was just at the green dragon farmer's market in the snow. Like I want people to know we are not going to let up on this. We're going to be on New Jersey like a dog on a bone. And we're marching straight into November for 2025. We're talking with Scott Prezler. So Scott, do you notice Democrats trying to find, we hear this all the time. It used to be with talk radio. They're trying to find a Scott Prezler. I've heard there are triaths. You know, men have to be at least six foot three. They have to have unbelievable hair. They have to be willing to wear boots. They have to have the Virginia or accommodation accents in order to do this. What are the Democrats doing to counter? You know, right now it doesn't look like the Democrats are doing anything. You know, we just elected whether people are happy about this or not. But let's give credit where credit is due on the first speaker vote. Republicans came together as a family and picked speaker Johnson and reelected him. President Trump's endorsed pick. We already have a speaker of the House. There was no inciting. There was no battle. There was no 30 rounds for the speaker. We already have our government that's being lined up. And President Trump just said we want the no tax on tips. We want a secure border. And I'm asking in addition for Republicans to focus on election integrity because we must restore Americans trust in our elections. And while the Democrats on the other side, I don't see that they have hired staff on the ground. The Democrats are in disarray. They don't have a message. They don't know what they stand for. And the numbers are reflective. And Pennsylvania alone in the last week, 400 Republicans switched to Democrat, while 1200 Democrats switched to Republican. So what we're seeing in our government and what we're seeing from our elected officials, I think we're seeing in the data on the ground. Absolutely, Scott. So and there's a myriad of ways we talk about them all the time with you that people can help. I'm not forgetting in April, the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. I saw something over the weekend that I started because there were people here in Pennsylvania talking about, well, how in the world can this Supreme Court race be made intriguing to voters? Surely they're not going to care about it. And I would think, well, Scott Prezler is the antidote to that. Well, when I explained to them, listen for a second. So the Supreme Court in 2020, they ruled, and by the way, the Supreme Court is five Democrats to two Republicans, five Dems. So there are three Democrats that are up for retention this November. If every voter in Pennsylvania comes out, the people that voted for Trump invotes no to retention, you will literally defeat three Democrat Supreme Court justices that either voted a to give Democrat Governor Wolf the ability to shut down Pennsylvania during COVID and or ruled that mail-in ballots could be accepted three days after election day in 2020. So if you guys at home care that your churches were shut down, your schools were shut down, your businesses were shut down, and you still are never going to forgive or forget that that happened. You can provide for justice and accountability by voting no to retention on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. And furthermore, if you believe, as I do, that the election was stolen from us because these Democrat justices voted to allow mail-in ballots to be received three days after election day, then if you want justice and if you want accountability, again, you vote no to retention. These Supreme Court races, whether they are quote unquote sexy or not, have real life, world ramifications. They do and they put the fear of God in some of these other judges not to do what these judges have done. That's exactly right. So where did we go, Scott, for everything? Well, and last thing, because I know we're short on time, but look at Trudeau. Today is happy certification day. And Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, has announced that he's stepping down as the Liberal Party leader. If Trump were not elected, would Justin Trudeau be staying in office? I don't think so. I think he would stay. I think there's a possibility. Yeah. So your vote, ladies and gentlemen, makes a difference. If you want me to continue to be successful, please support me financially at earlyvoteaction.com. Help me hire more staff in Pennsylvania. Help me hire more staff in New Jersey. And you can also sign up to volunteer. I just put a Google Doc on my X account at Scott Pressler. And it just says, Scott Pressler, New Jersey, we would love your help in all of New Jersey's 21 counties. Absolutely. Well, we have a lot coming your way, Scott. Thank you so much, as always. We'll catch up with you this weekend. Thank you. Thanks, Tom. Take care. Scott Pressler here on Talk Radio 1210 from a giant in Bucks County or somewhere near there. All right. 855-839-1210. We can get on board a lot happening. You heard those numbers out of Jersey. Those are good. They're indicative of that. And there are a lot of people that are Democrats that if they don't move to registration of Republicans, still we're going to vote that way if we have a good primary and have the right person in there. But it is time for a big prize for it's the money melody. That is right every day around this time. It's Tom's money melody. And let's see if I have the prize list I have it somewhere here. Yes, I do. All right. Today, we're playing for a pair of tickets to the Philly Auto Show. It's a great event at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, January 11th to 20th for tickets and more information. Visit Philly Auto Show dot com, Dan. Yeah, it's actually Henry. That's going to be picking one out today. Fantastic one based on the side question. Yeah. So the side question today was that all time epiphany dream realization. I'm going to play a song called Dreams. You may know the original version by the Cranberries. I'm going to play a cover of that song. I want to know the country or language of origin that this song hails from. All right, Henry, I think you're going to the dark side. This is the area that Dan flummoxes people with. So we really want to know the dark side on this one. Yeah, we want to know the language that this song is done. All right. If you do that, we get a great prize pair of tickets, as I said to the Philly Auto Show. What a pro. Philly Auto Show dot com. Great stuff this year as always. Here's how you do it. 855-839-1210, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless, all we need you to do is just push pound, 12th. All right, let's go to Tom in Bucks County. All right, Tom, afternoon, what language is that song in? Great song by the Cranberries, Thung, and Chinese. All right. Very nice. Yeah, don't pick up Chinese with that. Nothing like it. I'm not sure why. I thought it was almost a European language. No. Yeah. A lot of Japanese guests on the YouTube chat. Yeah, that's what I thought would have went first, honestly. Right. So, Tom in Bucks County paired tickets, the Philly Auto Show will have these all this week at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, January 11th to the 20th. For tickets and more information, visit Philly Auto Show dot com. All right. I referenced to Scott and for some reason, I only clipped this part of it. Here's the headline U-Haul every year gives us the stats U-Haul of people moving in and out. The headline was U-Haul tracked the number of people moving into every state in 2024. So, I don't have the total moving out and then versus moving in and add them up. So, Jersey was number 48 of people moving into Massachusetts, 49, California, 5th year in a row, 50th. But I still think Jersey might have more people moving out than the other two, even though it ranks at the bottom in moving in. So, you see number five was on that list? Yeah, Pennsylvania. I think that's been there for a while. It's seen as an ancient state. You know what I mean? That you want to hear the top five, which is fascinating? Well, the top five moving in. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. South Carolina. Right. Number two, Texas. Number three, North Carolina. Right. Number four, Florida. Number five, Tennessee. Yeah, Tennessee was the only one I thought was a little. All red states. Yeah, all red states. Sunbelt sort of states. And I think they've been, I don't know if South Carolina was number one before. But when you do the combination, Jersey, really bad. So, this is an opportunity. You're never going to see a better climate. We don't even know who the Democrat, this Godheimer guy, we've talked about him, allegedly, according to the inquire falsifying his spotify record of what he listened to in 2024 and making it all springsteen songs in Jersey when it really wasn't that. They caught him on the font and everything else. Harry Hurley, who really knows Jersey, tells me though, he thinks Godheimer will be the candidate. He'll try to masquerade as somewhat moderate, of course. And the drone thing still goes on as we count down to the inauguration. And as predicted, people don't seem to care as much about it. I'm not sure if something else has happened that it's lesser or whatever. But people think, well, what are you going to do? How much are we going to complain? How much time are we going to spend on it? By the way, last night, we mentioned the Golden Globes. They had extra arm protection. Well, it was at the Beverly Hills Hilton. I think that's where it is all the time. And they had snipers all around the area. Just to make sure the Hollywood crowd could be undisturbed. The very crowd that, historically, I was waiting for some anti-Trump stuff. There was a little bit of it. But this is cut three. Here's Nikki Glaser, who did not go off as much as I've seen her at Rose last night. Talking to the Hollywood crowd, telling them how powerful they are, but there's a little something they can't get done. Here to Rose tonight, I want you to know that. And how could I really? You're all so famous, so talented, so powerful. I mean, you could really do anything. I mean, except tell the country who to vote for. But it's okay. You'll you'll get them next time. If there is one. I'm scared. Ariana, hold my finger. Thank you. All right. Ricky Gervais was watching it somewhere. And I think he was tweeting out what he would have said moment to moment. Oh, man. And those people really can't get up and leave when he's, I don't know, if he did it once or twice, they're not going to have him back again to do that in any situation, because they're right on top of them. But the idea that you're so powerful, and yet you couldn't tell people who to vote for. Absolutely. All right. 855-839-1210. That's how you get in. Give us something that is an epiphany, either a fictional one, one that's real in anything that you've seen, where people make a change. Something's revealed to them. Isaac Newton, Apple falls down. Matrix, six cents. Any good ones on Twitter, Dan, that you've happened to see? No, I'm looking here now. I'm pulling up. Sorry. Luke, I am your father, said Zarve Tran says, "in usual suspects," when the FBI agent finds out the verbal pin is Kaiser Sosie. AOC questioning Tom Holman and suddenly realizing he was sharper than her, so she ended the session. That was a good moment to put it mild. And a great Christmas answer of Scrooge. Yeah, Scrooge is the number one answer I see when I Google whenever we do the side question in advance. Might be tomorrow, by the way. Coming off Ray did it and you're saying, "It ain't so, Ray." On Friday, when he said, "Oh, no, Tom. I don't think Eric Dickerson, people really know anyhow." And I think Barkley ought to rest and the offensive line ought to rest. And I immediately said, "You broke my heart, Ray." So be thinking of somebody or something that really disappointed you. Look, I know a lot of people would say, "What do you mean? Kristi disappointed?" I see. You're just not wanting to play fair. Back in the day, Kristi was it. I had him on seven times, high hopes for him, etc. Then the Obama matter came up and that was the tell. That was the epiphany. That was the turning point. That slug fest he had with me was unbelievable. And then after that, it was all downhill. Bridgegate, the stuff with him on the beach. My God, the arrogance. That's not your business. Yep. He was actually snorting in that tape. And you can hear him getting revved up because he knew where I was going to go. So I tried to make the first question, get to the heart of the matter, but not be over the top. By the time I got three or four minutes into it, I was just going on. I didn't even know where I was. That's how ferocious it was. Boy, I wish he were in studio. That's the guy you want to debate. If I had a debate team, all right, you're debating Kristi today to get ready. It's like batting practice. He's that good, but he's a bully. And he's just way off the mark now. He just can't find a place. All right, Jerry and Wilmington. Jerry, you're in on talk radio 1210. Jerry, good afternoon. Hi, Happy Holidays, everyone. Thank you, Jerry. Very much. Yes. My intensity was, you know, we know how to go get COVID shots and we'd be safe. Right. So I got shots, my friends got shots. And then all of a sudden, we got our shot right after shots. We got COVID and Joe Biden got six shots. He got COVID. So that was when I decided to fauci and all those were just full of baloney. They didn't know what they were talking about. And well, so meaning at that point, rather than you won't get it, that you'll probably survive it is what they should have said, but they implied at least if you get these shots, you're not going to come down with COVID. Yeah, no, they said it was 100, you know, basically the question I got was you get the shot full proof. No COVID. Don't worry about it. Just get it. And I got it. So did my friends and all. But so that was when I realized that fauci and all that are just dangerous winging it. They were just thank you, Jerry. I wonder how many people ended up to this point in time since we've known it, never having COVID. Maybe they didn't test that they wouldn't know they might have had it just so it was the flu or something else. But 855-839-1210. Today, a big day, we're going to talk with Congressman Dan Muser, who was a big force here in Pennsylvania, helping to elect President Trump. And I seem to remember there was a bone of contention with him. He was on Fox News. Fox and the host, it's a female on not Harris Faulkner. It'll come to me. Suddenly got into it about January 6th with Muser. And he was at an airport getting ready to go somewhere. It was quite a, you know, I referenced it to him once. So we'll talk with him. I think he's in Washington today voting on this. And where do we go next? Jeff Van Drew has been made the chairman of the subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee, oversight, which is a powerful spot in a powerful committee because that's where a lot of the action ends up. Hopefully we'll get, he's on Amara too, and we'll ask him about that. And also, I will ask him about the drones again. I got to write that down since nobody cares about it anymore. He went out on a limb and talked about something that may have been, uh, will we ever find out? Well, when Trump is actually inaugurated, maybe we will. All right, Congressman Dan Muser 855-839-1210. All right, it's time. We should talk with Congressman Muser here pretty shortly. He's in Washington's certification vote over. Reading more on this New Jersey testing thing, Mediate says, well, this was backed by New Jersey Democrats like State Senator Jim Beach, who says, quote, "We need more teachers. This is the best way to get them." Talking about getting rid of this test that measured reading, math, and writing. Is it? Really? All right, let's go to Joe in Columbus. He's on talk radio 1210. Joe, good afternoon. Tom, the question should be how do we get better students, not better teachers? Well, both, don't you think? Well, yeah, if you're doing the right thing. I mean, everything's about teachers, the unions. We've been hearing that for God knows how long, right? Yeah. The focus should be on the student. Yeah, but okay, Joe, I'm not sure your point there. What are we doing that you think is out of line? Well, I was good friends. Remember, Charlie Lau, George Brett's batting instructor. He told me once, teaching is never, ever, ever about the teacher. It's about the student. So, when you put the focal point on the teacher, you're removing it from the student. They're going substandard here. They're trying to get as many teachers in replacement. But nobody's talking about the student and, you know, and how you're building the student up. You're talking about how you're building the educational population up and not the student. Well, with the student, we also have testing, and I'm fine with that. I think it indicates the failure of the system. Then we get back to the same argument. Why is it failing so much? A lot of it goes back to the family, not demanding certain things, or the family is so bad. The kid is in crisis, or both, from the kid, and then the teacher does have a difficult job. I know there's school districts out there that are telling your teachers, don't give a student anything lower than a 70. You can put all the tests in there you want. That's the big test, if you ask me. Well, Joe, when I was teaching in South Jersey of all places, 60 was a passing grade. Can you imagine 60? I couldn't write the plan and put a D down. I had a kid with a 78, and he said to me, that's a low B. I said, over my dead body, there's no way 78's a B. Come on. Back when I was growing up, an 80 was intolerable, let alone a 60. A 78's a B. But Joe, what's your answer today? My answer, my big awakening was standing outside a home depot four years ago on those stupid red dots, letting 10 people in line, 15 people in line, letting one in at a time, and you had all the COVID criteria stringent. I mean, established, you had to wear a mask. Everybody in that line was either wearing a restaurant napkin or a silk bandito scarf, and being let in. And that's six-foot separation. That's when I knew everything was totally out of whack and, you know, BS. All right. Thank you, Joe. Very much. Alan in Hamilton, talk radio 1210. Hello, Alan. Hello, uh, Archimedes, is my submission today. And that's, uh, he discovered the law of a matter, this placing matter, and he did it in his bathtub as he moved into the water, he noticed, where it came up, the water, and he began saying it moves, it moves, and ran out into the streets of ancient Syracuse proclaiming what he found. Did he put his clothes on first? That's a question we need to know. Was there a bathrobe involved? Now, if you were a real scientist, he would have just run out of that bathtub, right? Yeah, thank you. That's a good one, though. That's like the Isaac Newton one. You know, that's exactly what it is. We hope to speak with Congressman Dan Muser coming up here. I'm sure anything's going on there in Washington might be a bit tied up. All right, let's go to Congressman Dan Muser. Congressman, welcome in. Happy new year. Thanks for joining us again. Tom, great to be with you. How are you? Very well. Now, I was telling people, if I'm right, as I remember it, you and I shared after one of our first or second conversations, you were on Fox News Channel. You were at an airport. You know, a lot was going on with you, and it was an interview about the campaign, not that they have to be the home team, and they can't say, "Oh, come on, Congressman, how about this?" I think January 6 came up somehow or another, something like that. Well, yeah, well, look, they love bringing up January 6. You know, I was here four years ago. I was on the house floor. I mean, there were a fair share of lunatics that were here to create mayhem and raise hell, many of which didn't even go to the rally. In fact, I think most of them did not because they're carrying backpacks and all kinds of other crazy things that you don't see people at rallies with. And it lasted four hours, and you know what, it was cleaned up about two hours later. And that's a far cry for what you can say about our cities during the so-called summer of love. A lot more you could say about Chestnut Avenue, where every single storefront windows were broken along throughout Philadelphia. And I don't mean to, you know, give it an excuse for one over the other, but let's face it. I mean, they did everything they could to continue talking about J6 of 2020 for the last four years. And I'll tell you what's undermined democracy. I'll tell you what's heard our country. And that's the last four years of the Biden administration. I mean, I challenge anyone. What is actually better since Biden's been president in our national security, in our economy, in our energy industry, in our schools, in our fiscal position? What is better since Biden and Harris have been president? And you know what, it's wars throughout the world, not just the Ukraine, the Middle East, I mean, Africa. How about the fact that Mexico has turned into a gangland under these administration? So we have a lot of work to do. We're prioritizing. We've been here over the weekend and we're going to be staying here to help lay out the plan that president Trump's going to lead it's the American first agenda. And we are going to make America great again. It's not going to be just a saying. It's what we care most about as results. Yeah, absolutely. And your type of guy can handle this. I don't want to be minutia, but I want to get listeners accustomed to a healthy debate that I think is going on. Mike Johnson and the president seem better strategy to put this in what Johnson called one big, beautiful bill, the border, the spending needed with that, the tax stuff and all that. I usually am pretty reluctant with that. I hear their argument on strategy. What are you thinking at this point? And I think some Republicans are on board certainly with voting for every one of those things, is it better? And that would take us probably past the first 100 days to do this. The other side says, get the border done quickly. That's what people want. You know, I'm very good with the one big, beautiful bill approach. And I'll tell you what, the president is going to be able to correct and secure the border in the same manner he did before. It doesn't necessarily need legislation. Now, we'll need some funding. We're going to have to move some of that money around. But it's going to be a big start. And the border is going to be secure in a hurry. The legislation will occur within the first 100 days. That's our, that's not just our goal. That's our commitment. So within 100 days, so figured by the end of April, we will have this big, beautiful bill. And it will be about national security. It will be about straightening out our economy. It will be about small business tax reductions. And it will be about bringing fiscal sanity and yes, reductions to the insane level of spending that has taken place under this Biden administration. I saw Byron Donald, I saw Byron Donald's congressman saying, yes, I think he wrote part of it or something like that. It is in there, the no tax on tips. The ebony knowledge of that. Yeah, well, we're going to. I mean, that was a promise that President Trump made. And you know, we got to get to the details is that just going to be for tips for for waiters or waitresses, those in the service industry. I mean, we have to lay it out. So it's followed and it can't be abused. So, you know, there's details to it. But yeah, that's going to be in there. Absolutely. Well, yeah, I'm just checking the boxes for listeners that absolutely, these things are going to be followed in one big bill. What's the number one thing for you that you want to check that box? Make sure this is happening. In other words, an indicator that Republicans, what we're going to see it on opening day, I know, but are delivering. Well, you know, we need to lay out the plan. You know, governments in the past have been afraid administration plan a plan. The president will have a plan will be very transparent as to what's taking place. The Doge Committee, for instance, we'll have a plan. It's going to be very transparent as to where reductions are going to take place. And it's largely going to be waste abuse and fraud and a dom removing some of the unbelievable excesses of the Biden administration. Do you know, there's about four or five or six federal agencies that are double the size now than they were four years ago from the EPA, the Department of Education, they're up over 100%. I mean, these guys just spent the American taxpayer dollars like there was no tomorrow. I believe that we can reduce our spending over the next four years by, yes, a round number, but I've done the math on it by nearly a trillion dollars and deliver better services along the way. Yeah, it never came down after COVID. I mean, you know, Biden increased COVID, you know, spending it all by one and a half trillion dollars. You know, you factor in his the inflation that he caused. We, you know, we could reduce by as much as a trillion. But, but there's so much, so much more. There's, you know, there's the national security issues. There's the strengthening our manufacturing. There's strengthening our position around the world economically. There's bringing world stability to, you know, and more peace in the Middle East and elsewhere. And it's stopping this crazy nonsense. I mean, you know, they got this, you know, some of the ideology and the weaponization of the court systems. I mean, it's just, it's just a misuse of government. And that's not going to be the case moving forward. Well, I even think Trudeau, look, he was a bit on the ropes. He might have quit now, but facing down with Trump and seeing the things back and forth, I think that really was the fate of complete for him to resign. Yeah, it's really something, right? I mean, everything that President Trump had issues with seems to be getting corrected, like the lawsuits, and those that are falling away, like Trudeau, are, it's just, I don't know if it's vindication. All I know is it's a new day. And we have an opportunity given to us by the American people to prove that their government can run in their interests in a physically responsible manner. And the United States needs to be the strongest economy in the world, strongest national security, strongest defense, and a leader in bringing peace and stability around the world. You know, this administration has largely done the exact opposite. So, you know, there's definitely work to do. It's not going to happen necessarily overnight, but it'll be, it'll be incremental. It'll be, it'll be progressive in a good way, meaning making progress. Absolutely. Well, Congressman, thank you. First interview with the new year. We really enjoy having you on. And I have a good inaugural day, and then we'll be really down to work. Yes, sounds good, Dom. Hey, come down. You should come down and broadcast out of DC sometime. And we'll get Dave McCormick. We got a great partner now over in the Senate. We got some great new, added to, we added two members, Ryan, Kenzie, and Rob Resinahan. So, we're strong, we're ready to go. I have, and many of us have a really good relationship with, with President Trump at JD Vance and so many members of his cabinet. So, there's going to be some really good things happening. Well, you guys set me up. Do you have facilities there? I've, I've broadcast out of offices before, but, you know, if you have any, I'll take you up on that. We'd love to do that. Good. Let's, let's set it up. All right. Thanks, Congressman. Great experience. I think it would be very worthwhile. Absolutely. We'd love to do it. Thank you, Congressman. Thank you. Have a great day. All right, Dan. Just hit his person and email. I'd love to do that. You know, it's, it's hard to have to get an engineer to go down there. I've done it from congressional offices, but I think they have something in the Capitol that would be a worthwhile trip, particularly we get Vance and McCormick and a few others. All right. It is the lightning round next though. Hit us with that epiphany, real or fictional that someone had. The revelation is what we're looking for. 855-839-1210. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us a lightning round. All right. Time to hear Dan, our show. Hit us with that epiphany. Get your name into the hat to kick off this week for a great prize. As always, Joe of Extin on Talk Radio 1210. Hello, Joe. Yes, hello, Dan, and a good 2025 new year. Gee, when they gang there. Oh, well, thank you, Joe. My epiphany is the realization of the incongruity of there being two time differentials, standard time and delayed saving time. You build your personal habits in accordance to one time differential and then, as opposed to the way down the year, you build your habits, your personal habits to conform to a different time differential. All right, Joe, thank you. Well, it's going to be debated this year due to potential change, which I'm on board with. I'm not sure though the forces, they want the current system, they're pretty strong. Earl in Taconi. Hey, Earl, happy new year. Welcome to Talk Radio 1210. Happy new year, Dom. Yeah, my epiphany was that stupidity, ignorance and political corruption are eternal. I've always known that the lunar cycle is 28 days, 28 days. That's four, seven day weeks. And I saw something on Twitter a couple months ago that said that if we had a 13 month year, 28 days each, that would be 364 days. And then we could have, you know, one day in between the 13th month and the first month, every first of the month would be a Monday. We went up to keep changing calendars, but they kept taking days from like February, put toward July and August, because July and August are both named after Caesar's, Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar. And you couldn't have one guy have more days than another. And we can't have 13 months in a year because that's unlucky. So because of superstition and political selflessness, we now have the screwed up calendar, whereas the 30 days is the 31 days, you know, how many days do we add instead of having a nice round, even calendar, you know, something can keep on the wall all the time. It's all screwed up because of corruption and stupidity. Thank you, Earl, usual same story. That's quite a history lesson there. Kathy in South Jersey, Kathy, what's your epiphany? Hi, so there was a movie and Dom, it's good to talk to you again. I love your show. Thank you, Kathy. You're welcome. There was a movie in 1992, and it did win an Oscar or two called the crying game. And there was a scene towards the very end that was controversial and really crazy for that time in 1992, it turns out that who he thought was a woman when she opens her robe was a transsexual and wasn't really fully a woman. And everybody in the audience, it was a big twist back in that back in the 90s. You weren't allowed to tell anybody unless they saw it. It was like a spoiler alert, but it was an amazing movie. And that was a very light that was triggering for everybody. That was like, oh my God, did you see that? So that's mine, the movie, the crying game, the revelation. Thank you, Kathy. I like the way you lay out your call. This next one, I don't remember it, but it is intriguing when Mickey Mantle gave his farewell speech. Dave and Oakland, Dave, what happened when the Mick did that? All right, can I quote the speech? Sure. I didn't know how Lou Gehrig here at home plate, knowing he was going to die and say he was the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Boy, that is it. Yeah, when you get out. Yeah, when you have to hang him up, Mickey Mantle. Yeah, that is good. Because Mickey Mantle, not exactly poetic. But by the way, Dan, did you happen to see? Very good one. The mayor of Wildwood is being cited as poetic. Ernie. Oh, yeah. Because he said the snow today was not windy. It was coming down beautifully calm and still straight down over the Wildwoods. The inquire called him a poet today for that. Here you go. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And we all knew it. Or no, exactly, exactly. All right. Henry, I like the last one a lot, but there were a couple of others. I mean, I like that one too. So David Oakland will definitely throw in there. I also like Allen and Hamilton's answer of Archimedes figuring out matters, places matter. I mean, he's in the bathtub. It's literally the original shower thought, if you if you think of it that way. And I also like Earl's answer of the lunar cycles and the calendar and how it just all doesn't line up. And Dan? I like the Earl, the lunar year calendar. He's not really thought about it, but it is kind of weird how our calendar works. And we could have an easier option, but we just choose not to. It's kind of a epiphany. I had myself this today. Okay. I got to say, I'm intrigued with the Mantle Lugaric one because Mickey Mantle to realize that. That's I just thought he was, you know, all right. And just yeah, David Oakland goes into that. David Oakland and doing it too. All of the calendar was great. All right. We'll do it all again tomorrow. Jeff Van Drew is on a two o'clock tomorrow. He's just been appointed to be the chairman of the Oversight Committee for Judiciary, which is a powerful spot. But we'll pick up with him on any number of things that will be out there. And as President Trump said, anything more recently to him that we can talk about good to have Dan and Henry back and to have you back. I'm going to go and dig out it. Well, I don't have to dig out of parking space. I can't say that. But if I did, I have a perfect thing I want to throw out to put in there, just have to get a pass row. It's a good way to get rid of stuff. Dan, are you you don't have to shovel anymore, right? You're not? No, no, no more shoveling. It's great. Henry's in the suburbs. Nothing to do there. I took the train in today. So I didn't bother. Okay. All right. We have every problem. So follow me on Twitter. I'll give you the final saves these things.
