Dom Girdano. - All right, last show of the year. Welcome into the Dom Girdano show. It's always a fun show because we look back over the year. We look forward. Not the side question, but if you have a prediction, I'll give you one. Larry Krasner is going to have a heck of a race. I can't predict he's going to lose yet. But you can hit us with a prediction throughout. If you have anything you want to binge watch, you want to tell that, we're welcoming that too. 855-839-1210, but I think we have a really good side question that kind of bridges between 2024 and 2025. Now, the issue that is still lingering and it's a simple question is, are you in the Steve Bannon camp? I'm not. Bannon opening fire over what's happened here with a Vech Ramaswami and Elon Musk, which is outrageous. I agree, but under the guise of the big tent, of the guise of the Reagan role, 80% and all that, we keep them in the tent and we move forward. The bottom line is, though, they can't win on this. They absolutely can't win on this HP-1 deal. There is no way they can win on that. It's certainly out of bounds, OK? Bannon calling this war, and saying we're going to go to war on this. And we've been hardened. Whatever Elon Musk says, doesn't matter. The MAGA warriors have been hardened. I don't see an appetite here. I think as we end this year, people are kind of confused by this. They're with me when I've gone after Vech in selling Americans, American workers. They're with me on him, but on Elon Musk, it's like untouchable, it seems to me. So are you with me on this idea that no, this is not a deal breaker. They get kicked out, et cetera. That's not going to happen. But they can't win on this. Part of the thing that really is infuriating, you've seen some surrogates and some Democrats jump in, and they're claiming MAGA people who oppose Musk, Vivek, and all this, they would say something different if these were secular white Europeans, white guys. If that were the case, they would give blame to, oh, yeah, that's OK, Elon. And Vivek said it. We're going to be on board with that. No, they're going to be against this. No matter whom the demographic is, it doesn't matter. It would make it easier if it were secular white Europeans to go after them, because you don't have any worry here that some people-- I'm just waiting to see if Vivek Ramaswamy starts this type of stuff that this is something-- it's insulting. He's been insulting. He should have apologized by now. He's been more insulting than Musk. If they just think they're going to shove this down our throat, then there will be a battle. It doesn't mean, though, the coalition that God is here, that you just break that up. It's better off having all this firepower, but they better consider that, too. And again, as we're heading into another holiday, maybe people are thinking, well, this will pass over. There's no resolution to it, essentially. This just can't happen. This is the absolute worst compromise. You can't compromise on this with them. And again, Vivek Ramaswamy owes an apology to Americans, American workers, the American people. I'm tired of hearing him about sleepovers versus doing more math. Stop it already. Just stop it. And I don't see how, when these remarks are brought up, he ever runs for president again, particularly against somebody like JD Vance. Just stretch these things up. JD Vance will take him apart. What in the world has gotten into him that we hear this tirade, this bias, against the average Trump-American supporter? Musk is a believer in this type of stuff. Believes as an immigrant or something, it's phony. We've said it all week. No one has refuted. No one's called me and made any kind of case on this to give me the other side. All right, so that's one thing. Today, too, a big question in the area. And I'll tell you where I stand. I'm not sure where Henry stands. I'm thinking he might agree with me, but he's a contrarian on this. It's a sports issue, but I want to spin it into more than sports. Just tell me, what do you think it says about your way of thinking? 'Cause I'll give you my thinking on it. Say Quan Barkley on Sunday, if he gets 101 yards, we'll have the all-time rushing for one year record. I think either eight or nine people, I think he's a ninth. - Ninth. - Have gotten 2,000 yards in one year. There won't be an asterisk though, although we don't put asterisks in anymore. Now, Dickerson would have to have an asterisk, too. I think the real record holder probably was O.J. Simpson because the NFL only played 14 games in. Now, the beating you take to that. I mean, nothing's different, but those added games matter. Dickerson at 16, say Quan will have 17. The added game here. So how do you square all that up? Remember Roger Maris and Babe Ruth? Babe Ruth had the record, not Roger Maris. But those extra games, too much of an advantage. Is one game that, yeah, in pro football, I think it is. But should the Eagles allow it? I can mean it's on the other side. Well, then you got to play a lot of players you don't want to play. This is an all-time record. There are times, even in sports, even in a team game, like pro football, where I don't see how you can deny a player this. I think it's ridiculous. These guys can be hurt under any circumstance, anyway, shape or form. It's random at times. You don't even get hit, you tear up any, all those things. Now, it would then put pressure on other starting players to play and to try to have him get it pretty quickly. So all them would have to play. Some of them are older, some of them could use a week off. If you don't start, if he starts, looks kind of bad. And then what are the giants going to do? I can't tell. I mean, in the past, we've seen people, like Brett Favre, who's an idiot, allow the sack record to be broken, clearly to me, with the giants allow him to get it, would they be, no. And just think of the pressure, if you're allowing him, I guess if you're in good enough, stay with the giants, you could do it. Because the GM and the coach are on Beyond Thin Ice, it's a national spectacle, it's a national story. The storyline this week would be unbelievable, given how the giants let him go, and they let him go to right down the road to a team that's a contender in the same division, you know the whole story. So I would say, yeah, he ought to be able to go after the record. And whatever it takes, if he starts, he keeps playing to the final gun, to see if he can get the record. He can't say, well, he can play a half and he's got 78 yards. Really? Can you imagine Nick Serriani taking him out? Well, he'd play a half, he had 99 yards, something crazy. Yeah, no, you can't do that. All right, so Henry, you're on board with letting him do it. Absolutely, I mean, but you have to be 100% in on whatever decision you make. Like, if you're not letting him go for the title, don't play him at all, sit him, whatever. But I'm in the camp that you should play him, he should go after this record. I mean, 'cause it's not just for him. I mean, the offensive line has taken a lot of pride in blocking for Saquan this year and just letting him do this thing. Having someone, having being the guy that blocks for the all-time leading rusher in a single season. Yeah, he's a pedigree. Yeah, it is something. And people don't remember who, you know, the other eight, you know, maybe they remember OJ because he still has the highest yards per game average ever. But like, other than that, like, no one really remembers the rest of the other seven besides Dickerson. The offensive linemen, some of them were pretty well known. They were called the electric company because of the juice. Yeah, so-- I don't know if Al Crowder would see an offensive lineman or see a defensive lineman. I'm not sure a guy was with him in a Bronco. I'm not sure which one he was, but he played in Buffalo with him. Yeah, so-- All right. He's got to go for the team to spite the Giants. I mean, everything culminates for this game. I think you have to play him. I think you got to run loose until he gets it. And then you can sit him. I don't think Sierra Annie is going to, though. The safer position is to sit him. And when I listen to WIP, I'm surprised. It's about 60, 40, 70, 30 saying let him play. I thought it'd be 100%. Yeah, I voted in that poll. I was very shocked. It was-- well, that was like early. And it was like-- I want to say like, 60, 40, like what you were saying, maybe a little closer than that. But I was shocked. I was like, oh, like, I thought people would really want this. And a lot of people want to see him for the playoffs, which I get, because it's a loaded NFC field. I do get that. But-- Oh, yeah. This is really-- Yeah, and I have a buy and all that. All right, so you can get in on that. And when you call, tell me what you think it says about you, whichever side you come down on here. I'm amazed at the number of people that just don't get it. And they just-- you got to give the individual player, if you're a fan, something that's the all-time record. You can't just say, as a fan, well, all I want is a Super Bowl. I don't care what kind of record he gets. You got to give a little ground to the player, too, particularly a guy this good. And this good, as far as being on the team, there's no issue with him at all that I can see. You got to let him go for the record. You can't just say, well, I'm the fan. I want the Super Bowl. That's what I share in. I don't want to hear any of this stuff. Somehow or another, it detracts. Well, yeah, I would say it lessens. You don't have players that are as well-rested. How do you measure that versus the achievement of it? And the giants or losers, they may lay down and may take a quarter and a half or something. It may not take a whole lot. All right, here's how you get in, though. Side question in a second. 855-839-1210, AT&T and Verizon Wireless, all you have to do is just push pound 1210, you'll get on board. Last show of the year, on the cusp of the new year, I had something just slightly different. And I kind of like Henry's, it's along the genre, something we should definitely leave behind in 24. It could be a person, could be a thing, could be a trend, could be a word. You're tired of hearing, an idea. Something we should leave behind. So the one that I'm going to take off, I have to, one a major one, just so nobody spins in with it. Woke. We're not going to completely leave Woke behind. Not the word, but the whole mentality. Costco is telling their shareholders, the board of directors, to continue to vote for Woke, for DEI at Costco, for some reason. Every other country in America saying, are you kidding me? Look at Bud Light, look at what's happened. We're getting killed with this. No way. The one I really would take off, let's never mention again. Leave it behind in the trash bin of history, Project 2025. Oh, man, how much did Democrats milk that? Because some people over at their Heritage Foundation got ahead of themselves. And they got in their head, they were the big wheels, and they kept on promoting this, as if Trump was actually going to follow this, like it was a script. I didn't look up what they say about the H1 visa. I should. I don't know what 2025 says about that. But they may be in favor for all that I know. Just think of how ominous that sounded. What it really was was supposed to be a vetting system. So we don't end up with a lot of people in government that are getting there, getting some position under the secretary of anything just to block Trump, just to be there to slow walk to do all those things. How do you drill down? How do you get past all these barriers in all these elected offices, unelected bureaucracies, be it State Department, all the usual things? How do you do that? That's what it was supposed to be about. They got way ahead of themselves. All right, Henry, you came up with it. What's yours? Yeah, so I'm going to use this answer a few weeks ago, but I think it still remains the same. The words misinformation and disinformation. And as well, and it goes hand in hand with my other part of the answer here is the news. I feel like the news is no matter where you watch it, it's just not truthful. It's unfaithful to you, the listener, the viewer, the watcher, whatever you, however you consume news. And when they throw out those buzz words like misinformation, disinformation, it just makes my blood boil. There's no such thing as disinformation or misinformation or misinformation. It's just information. You have to decide. You have to sift through it and determine what is real and what is not. And do not listen to the talking heads on the television. So I don't want to see, I want to see people leave more mainstream news behind and those two words. Get them out of here. Don't worry. So it's 855-839-1210. That's what, what are you leaving behind? It could be something quirky. It could be something in Philadelphia. Person place, trend thing. It doesn't matter. Enter it here. 855-839-1210. That's how you get on board. And is this HB1 thing? It's not over. I mean, I think they're still going to push forward on this and they continue to push forward. First of all, Vivec Ramaswami owes American apology. Can we just agree on that? It's ridiculous what he said. And I know how many people backed him. And might back him again. He'll get murdered by JD Vance just by what he's done this week. Well, you know, that's a long time down four years plus. Well, we'll see. Those words have impact. And Musk jumped in on the HB1 thing. He didn't quite insult Americans, but maybe he did in some ways. I don't like Steve Bannon's approach either. We don't need a civil war here before we even get started. We just have to stick on the issue. No, you're not getting this. For all the reasons we put out, you have no reason to say that this is something that's good for America. Isn't that what it comes down to? How's that good for America? Oh, we're getting the top talent from the world. Stop it already. It just insults Americans again. Are they really better? How many? Five people around the world, 10 people, under 100, I bet. If that, if that, and I'm being as lenient as I can. And what are they better at? You tell me who the guy is, and I bet we can find that guy in America who's just as good, if not better. But you don't want to pay him. And you're the ones that are biased here. We're not saying this because a lot of these individuals are not white Europeans. I don't care if they were from France, England, wherever they might be from. We want Americans. It's that simple. Wise is so difficult. They're trying to complicate it because they've been found out and people are pushing back, particularly in talk radio. All right, 855-839-1210. That's how you get in on talk radio 1210. All right, you're with Dom here on talk radio 1210-855-839-1210. 18 and T, and Verizon wireless, all you have to do is just push pound 1210. Let's go to Anthony and Kate May. He's on talk radio 1210. Although, Anthony, welcome in. OK, Dom, Happy New Year, brother. Happy New Year. I think you're having a baby. You're prematurely, don't get too excited. What I think they mean is have the best and the brightest over. Well, how are you making that determination? Wait, wait, wait a minute. I'm right here telling you. You mean to say in America, we don't have the best and brightest. Name something, and I'll tell you, we have the best and the brightest. No, instead of opening the floodgates across the border, have the gates open like just bright individuals for right now. Wait a minute, why do I want them? Why do they take-- sorry to get worked up, but why do they take the place of America? We don't need any bright individuals. We have them right here. What country are you living in Anthony? I'm living in America, and I love it, but-- Wow. What's up? I just bought and financed a car through Carvana in minutes. You?

All right, my parents were first generation. So where I'm at is I know that the engineering and Italy are phenomenal. They're great minds in Italy. Why wouldn't we watch some of that here? - Of course we want Americans to have the most opportunity that Americans can have, that's why. - Absolutely, I agree with you. We're on the same page here. - Well, they wouldn't see, there's at least 85,000, I've seen numbers up to 500,000 under this, they're taking jobs from Americans. - All right, let me ask you a question. Do they still have, again, I don't know. Do they still have the certain quota that they allow people in this country? Now, I know years ago, they used to have like say, 10,000 from Bulgaria, 10,000 from-- - Yes, I wouldn't have that. We don't need any immigration at this point giving everything that's going on. We don't need it. - Well then, if we ever, if we don't have it, I'm okay with it. But if we have it, bring the best and brightest. That's what I'm saying. - Okay, well that's a little bit different, but you realize this program is exclusively importing people who are coming here because of the job pretty much, and they can be deported, and then the wages are factored in versus what Americans would work for. - No, no, no, we shut that down. We shut everything down, and we either do it by the letter or what we already have in place. - Right. - All right, if we have 10,000, 10,000 in from Hungary, Czechoslovakia, bring 10,000 in from Czechoslovakia. If we have nearly 10,000 or 100,000, bring it in, right? And the key is we have the laws in place, let's do it, all right? And not America first. I will have to have power around me, all right? I couldn't agree with you more. - All right, well, what you're saying, look what you're saying, I'm in agreement with all these quotas and all, we ought to be looking at merit rather than just randomly bringing them in. But what's happening-- - I'm looking up there, I'm a big comer. - Yeah, I am too. But what you have with this HB-1 is they're essentially saying, Americans by and large are not good enough to do these jobs. And if they, what I'm saying is, in rare instances, you could have an Einstein or close to that, something like that, okay, it's maybe 10 people a year. But other than that, we're dealing with tens of thousands of really good jobs that they want to replace Americans with. - No, no, I got to go for my plan first. And then if we bring people in, if we bring people in, then we should only bring in the best and the brightest for now. - Okay, well look, I agree with you about-- - I agree with you about merit-based immigration, whoever we bring in, gotta be that way. Anthony, have a great new year, thank you. I'm glad you called. - Happy, thank you, happy new year. - All right, I didn't mean to jump in there in the beginning, but I was getting wound up because I think people want to make these programs what is comforting because they're in shock that two guys inside the Trump camp are this insulting. Well, get out of the shock. They are, particularly Vivek Ramaswami. He's got a hell of a nerve. If we got him on again, I'd tell him that. You gotta be kidding me, you're not the smartest guy in the world and all this stuff. And in one clack of people, and America doesn't have that anymore, really, buddy, and you want to run for president? Why do you want to be president of the United States then? See, I get it that we see an appalling number of public schools saying to Philadelphia, where people can't read, can't write. We're trying to get Dawn Fantasia back on the show today. She really, this week, has gone after the NJEA and others. They have gotten rid of in Jersey, and this ought to be something in the governor's race that you can easily make fun of. The teachers don't have to pass basic reading, writing, and math test. Yeah, by law, it takes effect tomorrow. So we get that side, but there is another America, and a lot of it is represented by talk radio listeners who are hardworking, brilliant, dedicated to America. We still have all that. Now, can I prove that? Yeah, I'd debate Vivek Ramaswami, and I'll prove that. I want to see him take the other side, because that's what his comments are. I don't like Steve Bannon on this. We don't just want to have a civil war, but we can't let them win on this. Is the trade-off really? Yeah, we're going to stop those people coming in at the border, but we want to bring our guys in and our women in, because they're smarter than Americans. I reject that. I always will reject that. And you can say you're just posing. You're just irrational. And I'll check on what Anthony said. We've changed the quotas of how many people coming into the country. Look, I didn't think I'd ever say the day that I would pump the brakes on all legal immigration for now. But we've so messed up everything that I would. And it kills me, because that is a large part of America. Neil Diamond, coming to America, right? I get all that. But I don't know that we need that right now. What we need is to advance Americans. And Trump really gets that. If you're 16, you got it. You got it this time. He's a little bit off here on who's talking with him as far as getting it about all American jobs. Now, we're dealing with, look, the HP One program has been used. I told you this yesterday, to do things like bring in an assistant track coach at Wake Far. So in America, we don't have assistant track coaches. Give me a break. Fort Pierce College. They brought in somebody who was an assistant football coach. I'd love to see this guy. Where did it come from? Ethiopia or China or France? He's going to coach football here? No. It's insulting. It's undercutting Americans. And we have to oppose it. But it doesn't mean we have to just say the whole thing. We're getting divorced here. But Vivek Ramaswami hasn't even made an attempt that I've seen. To go back and say, look, I was a little bit off. He got on his high horse, lecturing us about sleepovers and all, come on. Give me a break. The sleepovers and enemy now. This is a cold word for America gone downhill. We're living in two Americas. We talked about this before, right? One America where people are carrying the load. And then significant number of others who are not. We get that. But that doesn't mean at the levels that we're talking about, we don't have people. They're STEM graduates. I've read numbers of how many are not employed in their field. And they're blocked. And every one of these is this all-world player coming from India. Really? How is it we're this dominant then? Is America just over? And we have to just import these people to prop us up like the Roman Empire or something? Is that what we're saying? No, this is a big moment here. And I just want to get people straight on it. Because I know where what the point is that I'm making here. And I'm tired of this insulting attitude. And we didn't sign up for this. This is a bait and switch at this point. And Trump has to be more direct about it. 855-839-1210, you get a line. And it is the defense of America. I mean a lot of people coming here under this, they're not wedded to the America that you and I are. The idea of it deep in our heart, only in America. It's like an economic zone. I'm going to play Kevin O'Leary coming up, who I like, Mr. Wonderful, on the Shark Tank. But he's out there filling Trump's head up with, why can't we have a common currency with Canada? I don't want any common currency with Canada, are you kidding me? Is that what you want? Well, we're conquering them. That's not what he's saying. It's more like the EU. I'll play that for you coming up. And Anthony, thank you though. I'm glad somebody called in and gave us the other side. Even though I got wound up, I apologize in the beginning. He was making a different point. But this is the type of hill to stand firm on. We're not going to budge off this. We're not going to be called names that if these were white Europeans, we wouldn't be saying this. So 855-839-1210, you get a line. And I'm sorry, we have one guy there too. I wanted to challenge me on the bark we think. Look, the record is based on games. They don't say, "Well, you had more carries than the other guy." It's all in the context of the game. And O.J. Simpson had a much better average than just about anybody that I saw. So it's not averages. It's total yards. I'm just saying when you do it in 17 games, just like in Major League Baseball, when Maris did it, there was an asterisk. I agree with it. I still think Babe Ruth had the record. But if they did it in the same amount of at bats, what would you think then? It doesn't matter. It's game. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It absolutely matters. It's the same amount of opportunities. But it's not the question of opportunity. It's within the number of games that you were able to play. I don't see any record in which they say you had an opportunity here or not. I don't think it's established on that. I mean, I think it should be more. Okay, well, if you wanted to change the way the methodology is, that would be a good argument. But I don't know of anything, any record where they do that based upon attempts, the standard across all sports is usually the games. We're going to get into difficult things where ligs keep an ad in games. It's always going to be difficult. I hear you. By that, I know by that logic shouldn't OJ still have the record then. Not Eric Dickerson. Yeah, I think you could make that case that OJ would. But I don't know if they put an asterisk next to Dickerson. Did they? No, I don't think so. Okay, if they didn't, then you shouldn't put it next to Barkley. I would agree. You had to put it next to both of them, man. Yeah, I mean, it's different errors of football. I mean, 14 to 16 or 17. Yeah, so if you want to do it that way, I'm just saying I've seen that argument made on this. And again, if there's no asterisk, you can't put it on somebody else. You got to put it on both guys. Yeah, like I'll give you another example here. Like a lot of these college players, like this is the last year of fifth year eligibility because of COVID. Right. And a lot of these players have broken their school's records for, you know, whatever it may be, whether it's football, basketball, field hockey, even. You know, do those still, do those not count? Do those have an asterisk? I would put an asterisk next to it. Yeah. Yeah, because it's unfair. You know, if it naturally the schedule, they're playing more games naturally now, 30 or whatever, versus what they used to that. Pretty hard to do too much about that. So a whole year, yeah. Yeah, so I know this would be, I know where you're going to stand on this one, but like P. Maravich's record of most points in college basketball history, he did that in three seasons. Antoine Davis of Detroit Mercy, I think came up, I want to say like less than 10 points shy of breaking his record in five. Would you have accepted that? No. Okay. And some of it is the eye test too. I have to admit, I saw OJ Simpson and I saw Pete Maravich and I saw some of these other guys. I know in the heart of heart, you know, that's a good side question. Something you can't change on, even if they, you know, they changed the methodology or whatever on it. OJ to me, when he got 2000 yards, it was hard to believe. It's incredible. Fourteen games. Yeah. All right. So eight, five, five. Look at how hard it is as good as Barclays been. It will take 17 games to actually have the record. Maybe. That's how hard this is. Eight, five, eight, three, nine, twelve, ten. You heard Anthony. All right. If you share that, tell us. You want to move on from this. Tell me. Time to move on. Let Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami call the tune on this. That's not what America first. Stop calling it America first then. Put an asterisk there. Just say, look, I love Trump. I love the energy. I love the optimism. I love the deal making. Look, I want Trump to get Greenland, for example. And whatever else he does, I don't care. Or say, just fix the southern border. I don't care if they're importing all these people. I do. It defeats the whole purpose here. It really does. They got to be challenged because if they win this one, they're going to run wilder. There's got to be a point, yo, stay in your lane, cutting cost of government. You're not getting your way. You're not knocking Americans out of jobs. How long have we done that? The big lie. Well, they're better. They're not better. You're thinking of the people at the lowest rungs in our schools and all. Yeah, a lot of people in the world are better. As a group, as a nation, we're not good at math anymore. There's what, thirty-six to forty countries ahead of us. I'd say when it comes to reading, there's probably fifty countries ahead of us. When it comes to English language versus their language, it might be seventy-five. But we still have in the upper five, ten, fifteen, twenty percent enough people that are better than anybody else in the world. That's the way I see it. Am I wrong? Eight five, five, eight, three, nine, twelve, ten. Alright, time to your tango show as we have the last show of the year here. Hit us with something that you'd like to leave behind in twenty-twenty-four. It could be a person, place, thing, whatever. Tell you one of the things we're looking forward to. We had Jim Worthington on yesterday from the Knack Newton Athletic Club. And I know we're going to be broadcasting from there on inauguration day. Telling you because you may want to mark that one. I know when Trump was inaugurated, 2016, we did it from Chicky and Pizza was overflow crowd. They wanted to be together to witness that moment. This is even bigger in some ways because Trump is aware now of some of the pitfalls, the swamp, et cetera. And it looks like he's taking the right steps prior to this. Now he did endorse wholeheartedly, Mike Johnson. I'm seeing all over the place any number of representatives who say they don't know how they're going to vote on Friday for the speaker. I don't see the appetite this time around though, at least with listeners that there was the last time with McCarthy who clearly they didn't want in that role. People are thinking, "Hey, you know what, I don't like what Johnson did and I don't either on a couple of things here." But we don't want to do anything that's going to slow down the train that should start on inaugural day. So the NAC over there in the Newtown Athletic Club over there in Bucks County, hope you stop by. That event we did with the four, well, we had three of them there, but the Mount Rushmore, people that won Pennsylvania, Linda Kearns, Scott Prezler, we really, really had fabulous time with listeners. And I think food will be provided, et cetera. You'll be hearing more details, but just put it on your list, block that date out. We'd love to meet you there, have you there in person. We're going to have some great guests, but also we'll witness it together, then we'll get your reaction when we see the swearing in. I don't know if Trump will have signed any executive order. By the time I give way to Rich at three o'clock that day, I'm hoping he does. Because we want to see a massive amount of stuff done on that first day. Let's go to Gary in Newtown. Gary is in on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Gary, welcome in. Hey, Dom, how are you? Happy New Year. How are you doing, Gary? I'm not sure.

I will buy you whatever meal you want, whatever bottle you want. You say you watched it and it sucked. What's bye-bye Barry about, Gary? We all question, why did Barry Sanders stop at the peak of his career? He could have been the next O.J. Simpson. Right. When you finish with that series, I don't think it's not that long. It's one season. I think it's maybe a half a dozen episodes, but it is phenomenal. It really explains who the man was. My understanding from people, I don't know Saquon Barkley, obviously, but my understanding from people that do know him, he is a stand-up guy. What I told Henry is, why don't we just ask Saquon, what is it that you want to do? Talk to your front line. Talk to your teammates. What is the best thing for you, the best thing for the team, and then make your decision? Well, I think he wants to break the record, but you're putting him on the spot here because then the pressure is on these other guys to play, Gary. I understand. That's why the coach has to be the one taking one for the team here and saying the right thing to do, obviously, is to let him do it. If you let him say it, then it looks like he's selfish, even though I don't think it is. You know what? If I could bring him on, I'd honor Eric Dickerson. I'm glad he said, "I don't want anybody breaking my record." What's wrong with saying that? There's nothing wrong with saying that. I had a record of my own as a young swimmer, and I cringed every time a kid got in a pool that was going to break it. Well, tell us, what was your record? We want to lionize that. I had a belong to a swim club as a young boy, and I had a 50-meter record of under 25 seconds, 24.7 seconds at 50 yards, under 12 ages, under 12. I was watching it up until I was 16, 17 years old, and there were kids coming up, and the one kid beat it, and I don't want to say I cry, but I wasn't happy. No, you shouldn't be either. I mean, it's your record. I don't know why in the world we perverted this, that's selfish. No, he wants to break it. He wants to be every signal that I can see, because this is an all-time record. This isn't something buried in all the minutiae of statistics. This is for football. There is one caveat to that. 50 meters never changes. 100 yards never changes, but there is 14, 15, 16, 17 games. I don't like that part. No, that's something that the ligs and all have not worked out, what they should do around this. Look, Barry Bonds is never going to be the record holder to me. I saw him in the outfield right before the record here in Philadelphia. He had a pumpkin head. Come on. I'm not done. Hank Aaron should have spoken up and said, "I don't want this pumpkin head to break my record." I think the lig would have had to do something. Instead, they said what a man of dignity, Hank Aaron was. I love Hank Aaron. What he went through to play baseball, but you know what? At a certain point, you got to say, "This isn't right. You got to stop this." I agree with that. What do you leave behind in 2024? I don't know the years, but I think we've stopped immigration in this country for 30, 40, 50 years. When you throw a rock into the ocean, let's call it a meteor into the ocean, it creates a big ripples all over the place. I think that's what's happened over the last four years, eight years, ten years, whatever. Can we just stop immigration for a little bit now that we have a new regime? I don't mean to call it a regime, but new people coming in and we're going to make changes. Let's pause for a little bit. We don't have to say we're done with it forever, but let's pause for a little bit. I couldn't agree more, and it hurts me to say it, but I am in that camp now. Even legal immigration and all the rest of it. Got to be a pause here. After all the damage, after all the stuff that's been done. And maybe even things that I'm unaware of, some of these spin-off programs of HP1, et cetera, we don't need it. That's what America first is. That's not mean. That's saying we're trying to recalibrate to get it back to right where America is for Americans. 85, 5, 8, 3, 9, 12, 10. I don't think Vivek Ramaswami was in school that day, and Elon Musk doesn't seem like he was either. But they're geniuses. Yeah? So what? Does that mean they're right on everything? Does that mean they're right on the idea of America? Their idea of America seems to be different than me. Now, the vague can say I got wound up. I went a little too far with this. Here's what I'm okay. That's the way it works. We'll take that under advisement. Hey, you've been hearing me talk about rescue supplements for years.

All right, it is Dom Time, 855-839-1210, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless. All you have to do is just push pound 1210, looking today, side question, for something you'd like to leave behind from 2024. By the way, I'm looking, and I'll give you more coming up, but here's just one. The Google, the things that people Google, information they were looking for list is out. And of course, in an election year, the election was right up there, but it was second. The number one thing people were looking for, it seems like eons ago, doesn't it? July 14th, Trump shot. Yet with all that happened around that, how much did that actually play? There are still people saying it really played out in the election cycle that broke the lockdown for Trump. I just think the media, in their own way, did an unbelievable job of just saying, "We're not going to talk about this. Let it go." They did. And then, to me, even more telling was the second possible shooting, and just that underlined even more how incompetent or incurious or just lackluster the Secret Service was. I mean, it's just hard to believe that they allowed a guy for hours to be in those bushes that could have shot Trump even more easily than the Crook's guy. Yet, I'm still not convinced that that played out big time. Guess what is in third place? All right, coming up, I'll tell you what's in third place, fourth place, I'm not even sure about the Olympics are up there. The power Olympics are up there. Two hurricanes are there, and adhered advisory of the search terms. What, though, is right there after the election in third place? Hinks may have something to do, something I said we want to leave behind in 2024. All right, hit us with yours on the side question. Last show of this year, 8.5, 8.3, 9.12, 10, you get on board. And personal, ask you something you remember from the show this year. My best memories this year have been with Scott Prezler, and probably the events we did over at the NAC, but also Dom Gier, Dan O'Day, of course, Mulligans, the good memories at the shore at Mulligans this year were better even than last year with Prezler there for one of them with the Scotch contest with Jeff Andrew. And I remember Bob Kelly jumping up when I've interviewed him from Fox 29 traffic and saying, "Drinks are on me for the entire bar and he's got a couple hundred dollar bills are flying there." That was quite a moment. Just saying because, you know, when you hear this, I know it's a ride for people, but over the summer, Prezler, who's on every Monday at 2 o'clock, is going to be making Wildwood kind of his capital city of turning Jersey red in the governor's race. And there are a lot of reasons for that, including he's got a place on the boardwalk already, which is really going to, and he loves the beach idea of doing something around the beach and registering people to vote. Oh my God, you see him walking up to the lifeguards, et cetera. This is going to be a classic summer at the shore. All right, 855-8-- All right, let's be real.

It's kind of startling, and yet it didn't matter in the end. Election related, 855-839-1210. Tom Cheer Donno, weekdays 9 till noon. Untock Radio 1210, WPHD. Tom Cheer Donno, Untock Radio 1210, WPHD. In Philadelphia's Tock Radio 1210, WPHD, WPHD, WPHD, WGL, HD3, Philadelphia. From the Cheerio Volo Studios, where relationships matter, always live on the free Odyssey app. It's Tom Time now. Tom Cheer Donno. It's Tom Time, just a moment to lay from jetting off in Henry's recommendation. I've already talked, Row. I think he gives it four stars. The Conclave we're seeing today in Ambler. Yeah. Four stars, right, Henry? I think that's what I rated it on Letterbox. I'm pretty sure. Oh, four stars? Wow. I'm a very lenient grader. It seems like you are on that one. Wow. It's not like my favorite movie, but I think four stars is good movie status. I think four stars are supposed to be excellent. Excellent. I leave for four and a half, and five is perfect. All right. I haven't seen too many of those this year. I'll say that. I know I'll give five stars to Gallows, one of our favorite spots, particularly on New Year's Eve, over there on Roosevelt Boulevard and on the Boulevard. I'll be coming on as I understand this year as a sponsor at some point. It's a great spot. We've done two or three seven fishes there, and in 2025, seven fishes is back. I know that's a year to get ready. I think I have the people behind the scenes, the ticketing and all that type of stuff. I already know who one of the featured people will be, Scott Prezler, of course, probably Linda Kearns. It just goes that way. What the two of them have done is just unbelievable. All right. I gave you Trump's shot, number one, politics and crime, anyhow. Three of the top stories for America says Google. Trump shot the election. Trump shot topped the election for people Googling. In third place, Project 2025. My God, Democrats did a great job on that of making people look up Project 2025. Now, Trump's not going to follow a script. My God, can you imagine writing the script for Trump to follow what's going to happen? It's foolishness. Here is more foolishness. One of the all-time stuff shirt historians, these historians really got in the year. I've said for the last four years of Joe Biden, Go Big Joe. You'll be like Roosevelt and LBJ. Here is a historian. This is cut nine. Douglas Brinkley telling us that what Trump is going to do in the beginning. It's not about just taking on Biden. He's taking on the saying it. Jimmy Carter. Yes. They're stooping there to say Jimmy Carter, National Day of Morning, Appropriate, January 9th, et cetera. Trump is going to take away all this great stuff that Jimmy Carter did, cut nine. What are some of your thoughts? What have you found yourself dwelling on these last couple of days since his passage? Well, that President Trump is looking at this mantle, a lot of what Jimmy Carter did. Carter came in, very worried about the, you know, hopscotch nature of our schools. And he really wanted a Department of Education to kind of streamline national education. We're looking at cuts, deep ones on the Trump administration education. FEMA was Jimmy Carter's Department of Energy. But most near and dear to my heart, our last glance is Jimmy Carter, who, you know, saved over 100 million acres of wilderness more than any tripled our wilderness system, doubled our national park service and under drill baby drill of President Trump. You're looking to kind of cut into those public lands for oil and gas. So you're seeing some, and then the Panama Canal, which is front and center now of what Donald Trump's talking about, you're going to see Carter's legacy kind of on trial in a real way come January. All right. So let's unpack that a hopscotch of schools across the country. Is there anything either more ineffectual slash and troublesome at the same time than the Department of Education? All right. It flies in the face of local school board control or at least the state level control and the mischief these people get because when they come up with one of these repressive policies, they have a vehicle that can streamline it, put it in there under threat of law. If they don't have that, that vehicle, then it becomes harder to enforce this to browbeat and threaten them funding yada, yada, yada. That's what the Department of Education does. Now, if you're saying, well, look at Brown versus the Board of Education, wasn't this a good thing they could enforce desegregation? Yes. But what are they doing now? Now, they're enforcing saying that males can beat up on females in sports, among other things. Now, the odds on getting rid of this, though, are long. To start right in the beginning here, I'm going to be interested to see if Musk and Vivek have a formula, have the mechanism to take out the Department of Education. They're only not enough Republicans probably. They had to have the appetite to do that. Why? Status quo people. So it's doable, but it's a long shot once they get a federal program in there to take it out. Look at Head Start. Head Start's still in the minds of a lot of people, has a good reputation. It doesn't, to me, Head Start is a failure. It has not worked. Any alleged gains are gone pretty quickly. So I'm not saying it's the worst of all the federal programs, but it's not a success. What federal program, since we're on this with the Department of Education, is a success? The GI Bill is one that always comes to mind for me. That's a success. FEMA is not a success. It sucks. And the reason is that FEMA, ultimately, is dependent upon the President and that leadership. And how many times have we put, even George W. Bush, Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job in New Orleans. Brownie had done Saudi Arabian horse events before that, before they put them in charge of FEMA. Give me a break. Look at FEMA in the Carolina hurricane recently. Not a good federal program. Not at all. You would think that would be one that's bipartisan, etc. That would be one that's doable. I'm not even sure who Trump put in charge of FEMA. I have to look that up, but it's dependent on the President. What else, you know, the idea that Trump is now going to be attacking the legacy of Jimmy Carter? I got. This Department of Education stuff has been out there for a long time. And yes, Carter, I remember that debate, really gave in on the Panama Canal so much so that it's a bad deal for what America sacrificed. All right, phone lines are 855-839-1210. Side question, something you would leave behind in 2024. My answer at the top, I didn't know the Google search. Project 2025. It's just Democrats skillfully played that. So much so that that was number three out of all the items looked up. Copa America, June 30th, is high in popularity. I don't even remember that. What the heck was that? It's a soccer tournament. Oh, okay. Wow. That's kind of surprising. This is worldwide or just the United States? This is Americans. This is United States. Wow. You know what? There's another disturbing. The question I'm asking all these engineers that Vivek and Elon Musk are bringing in. If soccer is their favorite game, that's it right there. We have enough of this already. Soccer is never going to be our national pastime. I don't know how many lives football has. I know how the hierarchy of the NFL can screw things up. But you know what? People don't care. We're starting to have a kickoff again, which is something weird. Even with that weird dynamic they put out there. At least the last few weeks. Yeah, if only the Eagles do that right. Geez. The guy can't do it. That's why he's just going to kick the ball out of the end zone. Yeah, it's a sham. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's there. It's doable. And as convoluted as it was, I guess it was a decent effort to put that back in the game. Let's go to Bill in box on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Bill. Thanks for the wait afternoon. Hi. Just wanted to say hello before the year closes out and wanted to give you a note of my appreciation as one of the Patriots Book County that all the things that you guys have done over the year for, you know, getting us registrations in the Republican area. And especially all the things that happen in the courtyard in front of the Bucks County Board of Elections later this year. Isn't it amazing? All roads, literally, I don't know, of no place in the country that was more politically potent than Bucks County. God bless Diane Merseglia. And God Harvey, I just wanted to thank, I want to thank you and your crew and your Mount Rushmore of folks. And especially, you know, out there in the courtyard in front of the Bucks County Board of Elections with Scott Fraser out there without all the other Patriots. And I just wanted to share my appreciation for what you guys all did. Well, thank you, Bill. Very nice to be here. What's your answer on the side today? A plan to obsolescence. Yeah, and they seem to be getting better at the planning, you know, that's where the metrics are even better. What's the object that you notice first that you think is planned the bet? Cars? Yeah, iPhone 16. Ah, okay. All of them. Yeah. Well, that, yeah, iPhone. On the 17th and the 18th, which is coming next year, whatever. Whatever number it is. Doesn't matter. Yeah. Yeah, they have us on that. Not me. I don't need too much more from an iPhone, but that is, well, that is blatant planned obsolescence. We're holding something back and then we'll have it at a certain point in the future. You mentioned cars too. That's a good one. Yeah. With all the chips and everything you need now to, you know, just have a car. It's very, very difficult to maintain one. Yeah, at least with the iPhone, it's you're choosing something. You know, you want some new feature that they allege they have, which I don't know how many more things can you possibly plug into this. All right. So that's side question 855-839-1210. In project 25, number three in the election itself, Trump being shot was number one. Just think of how that story downplayed. And when we had the second guy that it still did not reverberate unless I'm wrong, unless people took that into account and said, yeah, I'm voting for this guy. Look at what Trump has endured here, and I'm going to give him another look see because the numbers and the biggest scare to me still, I'm thinking about it because Puerto Rico is on a blackout. At least it was this morning, a power was that idiot comedian, and I think Trump backstage was saying, that's not edgy, it's an idiot talking about Puerto Rico being a floating piece of garbage and on and on at one, thank God, Joe jumped into the ring and said essentially that MAGA supporters were garbage anyhow. That led to Trump with the garbage truck. Biden bailed him out again, 855-839-1210, and Biden saying he could have beaten Trump, he knows it in his heart, they shouldn't have taken him out, yeah, I mean, he also said that he could have beaten the British, I mean, you know, he's that old, it would have worked, Kevlar in the deer, imagine Biden after that debate thinking still he was going to win. And I went back and look, that debate was even earlier than I remember, you know, we're going to show them he's sharp and all that, that moment when Trump said, I don't know what the hell he just said, neither does he, wow. And really, not that we want to go overboard, they were just doing their job, but Jake Tapper and Dana Bash did not jump into the ring to say Biden there. They pretty much just asked the questions and let it roll, and that's what they're supposed to do. David Muir and his colleague there, they would have jumped into the ring, they would have, you know, strangled somebody to get it Biden and stop him from talking. It would have been a lot different. That moment really had consequence. But I thought that Harris, because of such a short run, would not be quite found out as the empty pantsuit, but she was. And Tim Walz, oh man, what a month will we ever see Tim Walz again? Is he in China? Is he planning a trip to China right now? I think we'll see Tim Walz before we see Kamala again. Oh no, Kamala is coming back. She's even a percent of the people that support her say, don't come back. She, Henry, I just think she has no shot because she's never won a single primary. She's just been moved forward by Willie Brown in Chicago, and then they needed a DEI for a VP, and that's how it worked. On her own, she didn't even get to the starting blocks. She dropped out of him before the first primary when she ran. Yeah. Could she win a primary against either a Newsom and/or Josh Shapiro? Oh man. No, no, no, that's how I'm saying Tim Walz is coming back before she does. Oh, okay. Oh, Tim Walz running for president. He did give us a lot though. He did give us months of stuff. The jazz hands particularly. I think he can clean himself up a little bit, get a little more buttoned up and he'd be fine. Uh oh. What's he going to do with the wife though? I love the smell. Yeah, that's enough. They're going to have to take some classes together or something. The daughter. Learn how to shut. Yeah. All of them. The whole family, just like all right guys, this is when to speak on something, when to keep quiet. Yes. All right. You get in at 855-839-1210. Do get in on the side question, we'll get your name into the hat, we'll pull it out on Friday for the winter this week. And if you ever have a side question, just send me your kernel of an idea. They're flexible. We stock them up, try not to do the same one more than once a year. Some of them where I could do every week though, we get such entertaining answers with them. A little outside the box, what would you leave behind in 2024? And I'm not sure the number one thing Americans want to leave behind, inflation probably, you know, serious note, that's going to take a while because it's not just the rate, it's what's already baked in. And to me, as bad as it is with Biden and the cronies and the people around him, the most insulting thing, the most damaging thing he did was how he diminished American life by wanting to be a consequential president and told go big, spend all this money, look at what he did to people, just look at the dislocation, people that shouldn't have to make decisions in the middle class, both people working, the whole thing, the grocery store stuff that we've all been through, just inflated prices of anything that you look at. And he's still merrily is ensconced in some more vacations and when he comes back, apparently he's going to be issuing those pardons for people like Dr. Fauci, got a little bit more on Dr. Fauci today. We know even more clearly about Wuhan and gain a function and will he be brought to justice for that? We'll see. 855-839-1210. All right, Dom, Tom, welcome in, 855-839-1210, you get on board. Let's go to Bill in Hope Well, New Jersey on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Bill. Good afternoon. Hi, Tom. Good afternoon. Hey, Elon Musk and H1Vs, H1Vs are used predominantly for replacement. Look at Tesla, the history of Tesla, that technology is developed by Americans. Elon Musk is basically a financier at this stage of his career. In 2001, he saw high-end engineers who are Americans move their jobs and get replaced by Indian imports who would work for half the cost. Ride the New Jersey Transit from Princeton into New York and it is all the replacement workers, predominantly. Does that make sense? Yeah, no, I think exactly right. That's the way that I see it. He's not going to con us with the idea that there's nobody else in the world. There might be five people you can make a case for maybe in some profession here, but by and large, these 80,000, these 800,000 across the country, it's not that. They're cutting wages and they're selling us at the same time. Elon Musk's prime goal in everything he talks about is to distract attention from Tesla cars and their dangers. Dom, check out in Bucks County, November, elderly couple. Tesla crashes into another Tesla, they both die. Tesla crashes end up in major fires. There's a major fire in crash, one to two per month. No one's covering it. If you're in it, if you own a Tesla and you hit something, the electric battery, I know a lot about technology. I'm essentially an expert on Tesla. The way the electric battery is designed, it's cold with glycol, the lithium is flammable. Every major, major crash of a Tesla ends up with a horrific fire that kills the occupants of the car and no one is discussing it. Well, I think I'm not aware of it, Bill, like you are, but I'm aware of what you're talking about, electric vehicles in general, but Tesla. And then the self-driving car, the autonomous car, is another nightmare coming our way. More of this stuff is going to be exposed if he doesn't stay in his lane here, which is the cost cutting part of this and jumps into these things, more and more of this will come out. I hope, but I think he's very sort of support behind Trump because he knew Trump was going to win. If you and I can tell Trump was going to win, the inflation, et cetera, Elon Musk needs to distract from the fundamental problem. He is selling a car that is fundamentally dangerous. And it's fundamentally dangerous because of the way the Tesla is designed. They run the flammable coolant for the Tesla cars through the lithium battery. BMW came out and pointed this out to the world several years ago, but it got completely ignored. Nobody in their right mind would run a flammable liquid glycol through a battery that's flammable. Why would they do that? What's the cost saving or why do they do it? Because their car, the original motor was something about an 18 buckshine motor that draws a ton of current. Their batteries were overheating, so they're having battery failures and they're having engine data. Okay. The only solution was to take an unorthodox approach. We need to cool these batteries off fast. Let's run the coolant kit coolant to through the battery directly and that will bring the temperature down so they have fewer battery failures and they have fewer motor failures. They just have drivers that get incinerated. All right. Bill, thank you. Happy New Year. Thank you very much for the information. I got to check on that. It seems logical what he said, but we'll check on that. All I know is I'm looking at another EV story here about this was Eastern Coast, Pennsylvania based, basically talking about the price, the failures, the inconvenience, the things associated with it. And guess who was the biggest proponent of the electric vehicle? That would be Joe Biden. Why? Well, he could please the environmentalist and yet he could please the auto workers, the big unions. That was his goal. That was his thought. But look at the abysmal failure based upon how much they spent. And Mayor Pete was in charge of that. Trump is going to short circuit this on day one, at least that's what he ran on. And we believe there'll be an executive order on that. I'm not sure how Elon Musk feels about that part or what it until we have the absolute print of it, it's going to be interesting. But look, bottom line on all this is I'm not in Steve Bannon's camp. He's calling for outright warfare against Vivek and Elon Musk, but they can't win on this. It's that simple. This is a test of what this maga thing means. And it clearly to me doesn't mean these 800,000 are expanding that bringing people into the country. Hey, I'm Ben Stiller. I'm Scott. And we make a TV show called Severance. On January 17th, Severance is back for season two on Apple TV+, and we can't wait for you guys to see it. And before the premiere, Ben and I are going to be binging season one and putting out daily recap podcasts. Yep. Each weekday, beginning January 7th, we'll be dropping an episode featuring exclusive behind the scenes tidbits and brilliant insights from our cast and crew and us. Patricia Arquette, Britlauer, Zach Cherry, John Tetero, the list goes on. All your favorite Lumen employees, their friends, families, enemies, in your feed every single weekday. And here's the best part. After that, we're going to keep going. Tune in weekly as we recap every episode of season two. The podcast drops on the same day the episode comes out. It's the Severance podcast with Ben and Adam. On Apple podcasts, the Odyssey app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Free under the HB one and insulting us that by and large at various occupations, particularly high tech, Americans, because we had too many sleepovers, according to Vivek Rama Swami. Too many sleepovers, loser culture here. This guy wants to run for president of the United States. Would he ban sleepovers? I mean, it's a random thing, isn't it, to be going after the sleepover? Yeah. What's wrong with the sleepover? Yeah. I think there's a lot of things that are good about that. Oh, no, no, Vivek said it and your kid is going to be a failure. Yesterday I revitalized the dragon bomb. Remember the dragon bomb? Anytime I had her on, she had given up on a lot of the things, or at least some of them, and thought she wanted their kids to be high-performing, but it was a little overblown when she first surfaced, how many years ago, I was at 15, 12, as the dragon bomb. We're going to develop world-class kids. That's what the Vivek comments kind of smack of in America doesn't measure up to his vision of that. Why does he want to be president of it then? Well, he's going to reform it. Wow. Is that the reform we want? Robert and Ben Salem, talk radio 1210 with Tom. Hey, Robert, afternoon and happy new year. Hey, Tom, happy new year to you and staff in a prosperous new year coming up. Thanks for getting us through this year. Oh, thank you. I wanted to kick around what you were talking about earlier with Gary, as far as the Vivek's comments, okay? We have been allowing 1.3 million legal immigrants for the last 20 years, okay? And we are a country of 320 million people, despite the fact that our parenting isn't where it should be, and our public schools aren't where they should be. I agree with you in that we will never run out of nerds in this country, and that's basically what we're talking about, okay? In a country of 320 million with the opportunities we have, you're always going to have people that are competent to run and move the economy forward. But that doesn't mean that he was totally wrong about things that need to be done with our education with--there's nothing you can do about parenting from illegal, but just but something because we--no, geez, it's hard. It's hard to explain, but over in--okay, Vivek, over in your country or over in China, the government just tells you what to do, okay? Here we're free, and that means freedom, sometimes means people are free to make bad decisions, okay? Exactly. Yeah. But over the--but over the macro, as you said, we have enough talent in this country, and we should concentrate on developing that instead of bringing in more and enhancing that. We should, as Gary said, we should stop legal immigration, all immigration for at least five years, just so that we can deal with the problem that we're facing right now. Yeah, and Robert, too, what I would try to do with their Secretary of Education, when I get Linda McMahon on and all that, I'm going to try to put into their head, we should be more creative at advancing the kid that's doing well in math. I mean, in a way, that celebrates that, the problem is, without, without shutting it down the throat, you do too much of it, and the kid is seen as nerdish, and actually the parents have to come in, the ying and the yang, the balance of it. We want it kids to be exceptional with it, but we don't want to have that--I don't know, in India-- A robotics society. We don't want to rope. Botics is right. Exactly. Normal people who are just extraordinarily skilled, harder to do, and we want to uplift saying a place like the Philadelphia schools, which is very difficult to do, but to your point, you would broke the code, I think, in summary here. We already have a critical mass of people that are as good as anybody in the world. We don't need this. There might be an Einstein out there, even I'd have to concede, or five people in the whole world. All right, I think the eye test, we would know it. That's not going to hurt us, but they're talking about 800,000 people. No. Dom, I bet you we got 1,000 Einstein's, just right now, most of them are busy playing video games. You hear what I'm saying? The younger people. Yeah, exactly. As for the side question, I want to go broad with this, because we need to cut ties with the global elites. I'm talking about the Soros, I'm talking about the Bill Gates, the people that think that they're going to turn America into a vassal state in their liberal world order, and it's not going to happen. They were talking about Bill Gates last year, and he was saying, "Well, we're either going to have another pandemic or a large-scale war." It's like they're planning on calling back the population and telling us how to live. We need to sanction people like that. We need to call George Soros a supporter of terrorism for his ties to Antifa, and we need to get serious to these people and let them know we're still the light in this world. Not them. That's all I've got to say. Thank you, Robert. Happy New Year again. Bill Gates, the scariest of the guy, wanting to please the climate fanatics by dampening the sun. That guy's got to be watched. Gates, I mean, you know what happens. Bezos seems to be content which is fooling around with his money, with the mechanical dog and all, you know what I mean, or even the space stuff, unless I'm wrong. I don't see him wanting to dictate other than in his own sphere. I mean, he's bad enough. One of the biggest pet peeves, Dan chairs, I don't know about Henry, and I'm starting to see it even with the U.S. postal delivery now. There are parking spaces on the street, ticket every one of these Amazon vehicles that won't pull into the parking space. They make people try to squeeze by, trap it coming the other way, and there's no reason for it, other than they're told, don't park. It appears to me anyhow. Rarely do I see them park. Well, they might get boxed in. Well, so might the rest of the world. Oh, man, if those boxes don't arrive at our door, I wonder how many-- I have to start keeping count. How many consecutive days as Roe got some kind of box or delivery of that sort at the door? I'm going to start the count, because I'm on the other side with the boxes all the time. Hopefully, she's not listening, so she doesn't, you know, guilt doesn't get her head. Oh, yeah, you're starting to-- yeah, yeah, yeah, oh no, nothing will stop her that there's not. Henry, how about you? What's the longest that you've gotten something delivered to the door? Like in a-- days in a row? Yeah. Not more than one. Okay. Yeah, no, I'm not a big delivery orderer type of guy. Dan seems to be because he's always talking about porch pirates and alls. Yeah. Yeah, no, that's-- I mean a toothbrush. Yeah. Get it delivered there. No, no, I'll stop over. If something like that, I'll just go to like Target or Walmart. Yes, that's what they're there for. Exactly, exactly. But they must be directed, don't pull into a parking space of any sort. I almost never see it, even on a wide street, you know, with all kinds of parking. You're not going to get boxed in, come on. Particularly at Christmas. Oh my God. All right, 855-839-1210, that's how you get in. AT&T and Verizon Wireless. All I need you to do is just push pound 1210. Hit us on the side question. The global at least is a good one. A person, place, thing, too much of. You want to leave behind, it's so 2024. Hit us with that, and it can be anything. Think a little bit outside the box. We let off the show today, and a few people dropped off because we got into something else about Saquon Barkley, clearly, I think he should be allowed to go for the record. But that brings into play, there's a tension here with some fans saying, well, you're not taking the fan into account because for the fan, the ultimate thing is to win a Super Bowl. And if this detracts from that, potentially, even by 1%, I hear people on WIP, they don't like it. Marcus Hayes writing in the Philadelphia Inquirer today. Are you kidding me? You can't let him do this. Almost surprisingly, I thought Philadelphia sports fans, or just even casual watchers, would be in revolt, just saying, come on, you know, there's a time for a team effort. You can build this as sort of a team effort, but you got to let an individual shine here. You can't just say, no, you got to sacrifice everything for the good of the team. So I think Gary said, well, they want to just ask Barkley, oh, can you imagine the pressure? If Barkley said, well, I want to go for the record, are people going to go after him? I'm going to salute him even more and say an honest man here. And we got this weird thing. The guy that has the record is not allowed to say, I want my record to stand. You're proud of it. Why wouldn't you want your record to stand? And Barkley wants to break the record. Why should he be held back? I mean, what is seeped into the mentality here that I think is distorted of sports here. Individual accomplishment is part of sports. We root for an individual, not just a team effort here. And the idea of some long process to the Super Bowl is going to be ruined by this. Something's wrong with that kind of analysis, really. The guy ought to be able to do it. Yeah. 100% agree. Like, I always think of like David Robinson on the final game of the 94 NBA season, like he was behind Shaq for the scoring title by 0.006. Right. So he dropped 71. The Spurs weren't like, no, we need you to sit, you know, we're playing on a big playoff run here. He's like, no, I'm going out there. I'm busting my butt and I'm winning this title. I'm doing it. Yeah. I'm basketball. That's even more apparent. You realize the risk here sort of versus the other sports, but my God, yeah, Bryce Harper, if you were going after a record, I think he would tell you, are people going to turn on you? Yeah. Oh, man. That's selfish. I never thought you wanted that. Well, then you would never be motivated to be great at anything if you don't want to shine individually. 855-839-1210. We can get you in on that too on Talk Radio 1210. All right, I'm Jim Dano show. Welcome in. Just a note on New Year's Eve this year, Anderson Cooper. Every time I see the promos for CNN, isn't it embarrassing, the type of stuff that he does? If you're going to be billing yourself as this journalist, the heir to it, the face of CNN, the stuff he does in New Year's Eve is not, wow, that's another side of Anderson. It gets pretty bad. Who is it that's ABC's Big Act, Henry? Do you happen to know this year? Well, like a musical actor? Yeah, I mean, there's usually one act, one like all-world act that with Ryan Seacrest this year. Yeah. I'm not sure who it is, but they surprise you, sometimes with lesser acts, Paul Anka wasn't it one year? Like what the heck? Paul Anka. Yeah. Let's see. All right. I saw Taylor Swift in ads, but I think those were old. I mean, she wouldn't be... She was performing. ...dained to do this. Carrie Underwood. That's not. Megan Moroni. That's not. Okay. Lenny Kravitz. Thomas Rhett. And that... I mean, ABC used to be like the Super Bowl person you would get, right? Yeah. Right. Right. Well, she's not... So Clark's Rocking New Year's Eve, you got it. Yeah, it was the big thing. Yes. So... She's asked that they're lining up here. All right. They're... I've never heard of them. I don't know what the preference is, which show does the best, but could it be Anderson Cooper? And if you're watching the Fox New Year's Eve, it's kind of not their lane. I don't know what they'll be doing this year. I don't know how to show. Yeah. They do. They had Griff Jenkins, whose great guy, but I mean, he's put fraudulent sunglasses on. They do a whole thing like that. Fraudulent sunglasses. Yeah. Like sunglasses. They're not sunglasses. They had Happy New Year, and he wears them paper the whole time. Yeah. That's the... Yeah. Okay. To try to show. They're doing... Well, that's... That's the one time a year to wear fraudulent sunglasses. I guess. I mean, it was fine when I was like, we're in the aughts. You know, it'd be like, Happy New Year 2009, you see through the zeroes. Now these glasses, like 2025, like you're seeing through the twos. What are we doing here? Exactly. Exactly. So if you have a favorite, you can let us know. And we haven't gotten any other binge watching, bye bye Barry. Who was... That was Gary, right? Yeah. So you've watched Barry Sanders. I say the diplomat is an easy watch, two years, only seven episodes an inch great. I mean, it's not Carrie Russell, I've given you the plot before. Henry, do you have one that you think, well, the wire? I mean, if you have access. Oh, yeah. To go back and see it again. Something like that. Not just Sopranos at any point, but I'm watching re-watching Breaking Bad. I haven't seen it in about a year and a half, so this is the third time I think I've seen it. Yeah. I don't know how many new shows I've watched this year. I mean, I really like the Penguin, you know, just short little miniseries, whatever, eight episodes. If you like the Matt Reeves, the Batman, I mean, it's essentially the spin off of that, leading into the second movie. The boys had a new season this year. I think that shows fantastic, maybe a little grotesque for some people in the audience, but I think that's a very well-written show. Very fun. Trying to think, if there's anything else, oh, and I've been watching Ted Lasso lately. That's an easy watch. I'd definitely recommend that. Oh, yeah. Ted Lasso. I like the first year, then I don't know why I got off. Hey, by the way, this is Justin, Pastor Bill Devlin in Cuba, celebrating New Year's, his 20th Jesus Youth Festival, assisting hundreds of people in Cuba. It's great to have friends like Bill Devlin. I'd probably be on a satellite phone in Cuba again, but he might get caught. He almost did the last time, so we'll let him be there. Let's go to Scott in Mount Laurel, who's actually a coach. I think the coach has to make the decision on this. Let's say Juan Barkley, Scott, is it the coach? Good job. Unfortunately, I don't think the coach is making the decision here. The Eagles are running from the top down. This decision is going to be made by Roseman and Lori. There's no way Styroionni is making the final call on something like this. Well, if it is, those two, who you know, Scott, I'm not a fan of, I think they would say, "No." And if they do, you would think people would say, "You really don't get it," or are fans more selfish? The only thing they care about is the Super Bowl. Yeah, what's kind of bizarre about it, if they do go for it, is that they really should have left them in the Dallas game, because Dallas had given up, he could have gotten 50 or 60 more yards in the last 10 minutes of that game, so it would make sense since they told them that they're not going to go for it, but I'm not sure really what they're going to do. Scott, to that point, I think there was 11 minutes left, and they took them out, and I thought the same thing. You know what? Your point? Maybe they thought in 11 minutes he wouldn't get 101 yards, but he might get another 35 or 40. Now, if he's down to 50 or 60 yards, you've got to play him. Well, if he's down to 50 or 60 yards, you could maybe play in one quarter and get him out as opposed to playing the whole game. Yeah. True. So, I took that as they don't care about the record, they just wanted to get him 2000, which they did, and I don't know, maybe that will change over the course of the week because the players want to go for it. I would still sit any offensive line, or anybody who had an injury that I was worried was going to get worse. You know, I mean, they played this year with, you know, playing Johnson out a couple times in different situations, so I would definitely still protect guys that really needed the rest. So you don't play J.1 Hertz coming off a concussion? I wouldn't. No, I think that, you know, I mean, I see the 100 percent healthy, and yeah, you want to get him back, and you want to get him as rhythm back, and all that, then I would, but if there's any reason that he might be less healthy going on the playoffs, I would not play him. I mean, same thing they do in the preseason, they don't play any, but I don't care if they get off to a bad start. They want help. Yeah. No, I would, I would play him though, definitely on this. It's definitely, if it were 200 yards, and not doing it, but 100, yeah. Well, he definitely has a good shot at getting it, certainly against the Giants, even though they're going to be all geared up to try to stop him, but they couldn't stop last time they played him, so maybe they won't stop him. Well, wait a minute. Will players be geared up to stop him, or are they geared up to help him get the record? You mean the Giants players? Yes. I would think they'd be geared up to stop him. Why would they want to get him the record against them? I think they like him. I think they want to stick it to management, so they don't like, and they're betting that both the coach and general manager won't be there. Well, I guess if they're planning to get the coach fired, you could be right, but when you talk about, you know, the competitiveness of going over the record, how much of a lack of competitiveness is that if you let the other teams get the yards to get the record? Well, I would agree. I wouldn't do it under any circumstance, but I hear you, you know, you have a duty to the game to try to stop him. Scott, what should I decide? What should we leave behind in 2020? Well, I like to leave voter fraud behind. I'm real tired of it. I'm tired of having to worry about it all the time, and I would like to leave it behind. Good stuff, Scott. Happy New Year. 855-839-1210, you get a line. More calls coming up, 855-839-1210. All right, it is downtime, you're 855-839-1210. Here's Kevin O'Leary, who I like as Mr. Wonderful, on the Shark Tank, which sadly is going off. Here's O'Leary with this another brainstorm of a guy who ought to stay in his lane. Let's combine the U.S. and Canada with a common currency. What do you think of this idea? Yeah, I'm going to go there. Let me tell you something. I'm very fortunate. I have millions of followers there in Canada, as I do in the U.S. In the last 48 hours, I've been doing my own unofficial polling, trying to get the real tonality of what the country wants, because it's diverse. You got to go back, guys. You got the Alberta, guys, BC, guys. Here's really, what I love about Trump is he throws big ideas out there and causes an absolute, you-know-what, poo-poo storm, and then out of it comes some really good ideas, because what I tell you what Canadians like, they don't want to give up their sovereignty just like a guy that's born in Florida doesn't want to say he wasn't born there. He wants to be a Florida native, so the guy is born in Toronto or in Calgary and Montreal wants to keep that, but combining our countries together with a common currency, a viable passporting system after you're approved as they have an EU, we'd be the most powerful nation on earth. What do the Canadians got? Unlimited water, unlimited power, unlimited paper, unlimited reserves of every kind, there's only 40 million of them inside of California, and they don't want to squabble. They want to trade north-south-east-west, so the ideas are simple. Common currency, common defense, common defense of the North against the Chinese, I'm not a fan of the Chinese government, everybody knows that, and I worry about that, and everybody should, and the Russians too, we don't need them messing around up North. There you go, common currency now, another guy starting, and Trump was joking about this with Canada, I don't see Trump, or he was saying 51st date, that's a lot different. Let's stick with the Greenland thing. I'm on the Greenland thing, that's the part that intrigues me, I see real value there versus some of this other stuff, and negotiating with the Panama Canal and Panamanians, yes, that makes sense also. All right, final hour of the year, let's make it a great one, hit us on the side question, 855-839-1210, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless, all you have to do is just push pound 1210, and you get on board, but a number of these guys, with all these things that are going against America, as I think, MAGA knows it, and this election was about, this is not going to happen, I'm not going to be doing common currencies with the Canadians, et cetera. So hit us something that should be left behind in 2024, while we have the time, person place thing, whatever it might be, Vivek Ramaswami's ideas, I think, are one of them, the HP One program, but I said Project 2025. Trump was never going to follow a script like this. These guys at the Heritage Foundation caused a lot of trouble, though, and the Democrats seized on it third most googled search out of everything in the United States, was Project 2025. The election was second, Trump being shot was first. Imagine, it was a gift to them. They ran with it, they did a good job with it, didn't matter in the end, but a mistake. All right, 855-839-1210, never called before, here's your chance to get on board during this year, you like it, you continue into the new year, you're with Dom and Henry at the helm today, talk Radio 1210. All right, it is Dom time, welcome in everyone, 855-839-1210, by any account, I was thinking about this yesterday, but I waited till the last day, last show of this year. This was the most consequential, energized, what couldn't happen next year that we've ever seen, even on the weekends, that's when Trump was shot, for example, July 14th, and this radio station was in the middle of the most pivotal state, in the most pivotal election, the differences of what will happen or wouldn't happen are unbelievable. What would be second place, do you remember another year, particularly with talk radio in the center of it, or the talk radio was around, where it was this consequential, where there was this much energy, this much stuff, a lot of it, Trump driven, that we haven't seen anything like this, but then Biden contributing to it, by that early debate, and then dropping out then Harris, given the first female black, slash South Asian woman to get the nomination, then all the controversy over walls and JD Vance, to some degree, and all that backdrop going on, even day to day, some of the events that happened, a lot of them right here in Bucks County. Presler making Bucks County the target, now he's on to Chester County, to flip it right. Then the problems we had with people showing up, wanting to put their male in ballot there, in Levittown and other, whatever the other polling place was, and being told, no, you couldn't do it. The judge ordered it, yeah, well, you're going to wait eight hours or more. Remember that part? Then Marceglia, not even the presidential, really, it was more the Casey McCormick race jumping into the ring and saying, I don't care, precedent, and all that, what are you going to do to me essentially? Bucks County played such a pivotal role, the nonsense of the Montgomery County guy with a Mr. Softy truck, taking it to prison for prisoners to vote. The usual stuff, I'll fill it off, he was a bit more subdued this time, I think. And just the importance of Pennsylvania, it was all right here. I can't quite think of another year, 2020, the aftermath of 2020, all the back and forth over that. That and then Pennsylvania Supreme Court being key. In that though, pales in comparison to the whole year, and what was going on here, the tension around the, even the primary, even though at a certain point Trump put it away, there still was a lot of back and forth. All right, phone lines are 855-839-1210. Woke is not over. Woke is what I threw away and also Project 2025 and 2024, Dungeons and Dragons, and what I was still teaching, you know, maybe we want a little bit overboard, but we thought that Dungeons and Dragons at that point was really playing around with stuff, you know, with some kids that may or may not have been disturbed, shouldn't be playing around with, but Dungeons and Dragons still out there causes controversy with a rule change over identity. Some character traits have been divorced from biological identity. A New York Times report says, and Dungeons and Dragons apparently is going the non-binary route. They say that races are now species, New York Times, and the beloved game Dungeons and Dragons, which recently marked its 50th anniversary, this irksome loyal fans. Some character traits have been divorced from biological identity. A mountain dwarf is no longer inherently brawny and durable. A high elf, no longer intelligent and dexterous by definition, a report in the New York Times explains, and wizards of the coast, the Dungeons and Dragons publisher owned by Hasbro, has endorsed a trend throughout role-playing games in which players are empowered to halt the proceedings if they feel uncomfortable. Oh my God. All right. Got Dungeons and Dragons, Tom. Yes. I know. That's why I mention it, because when I was teaching high school, that was a premier type of thing, and there was a lot of controversy over it. As I said, I don't remember anybody really doing anything, but it seemed to be not something that was necessarily going to enhance your life, and the kids that were doing it were a little, not to stir, but they weren't exactly in the mainstream of too much. Now, not that I think it's the same thing. I just want to go on the record, though, my antagonism to things like Lord of the Rings. I don't know if that's offensive or not, Henry. I can't stand all that stuff. You don't like the, how would I put it? Like, I'm blanking on the word right now. Well, the preoccupation. Yeah, the preoccupation with it, not that it's dangerous or anything. I just think the Dungeons and Dragons started off from me, though. There was a real threat or a sense of it then, and now they've gone. If you feel uncomfortable, you can get out of this. In a board game, really? Yeah, I know. Yeah. So, Woke is not going to go away that easily, but Light, we've talked about this, and Dan's in the camp, I think, when it comes up, "Hey, isn't it time to just let this go?" People have not, or they just found cheaper beers or just as cheap that they sort of like, so they're not going back to Bud Light. But by and large, the Woke thing is on the run, and it started to Peter out after George Floyd's summer. That's when they all got on board. But there are still spasms of it, like Dungeons and Dragons. Go figure, why would they be going down that path? Well, maybe it has, bro. There's somebody new, and they figured this will spice things up, or they just didn't like it was male dominated or something, which I think it still is. All right, we want to get you in before the final got, yet still got it. It's still got to be male dominated, but also like one of the things like part of the game, you can be so many different things, and if you take whether it's an elf, or the dwarf, or whatever, and all those inherent abilities that they may have, you're just kind of wiping away. So, what's the point of even picking characters using your imagination? Yeah. Things like that. Right. That's what I would suggest by this. That's what they're complaining about. And again, this whole Woke thing is not going to go down easily. But on the first day, Trump is going to take action on the transgender part. And again, I've said many times getting into the bathroom issue and a million other things is going to be more difficult. But the area where you win every time is not having biological males or formerly biological males playing in female sports. You saw what happened this year with the volleyball situation. Those women now have the option. They've transferred to other places. They have a lawsuit against their own school that the player was on. The other schools are filed suits against them. We talked about that. Thank God. They didn't make it to the finals. They didn't do anything. It was a much different world with Leah Thomas. Those women were essentially threatened with their careers. If they spoke out, if they did anything, you know, by now, Paula Scamlin, seeing Riley Gaines be able to do it, became an amort with it, spoke out. And now she's the chief point person in Jersey for Scott Presler. So things are moving on that front. It doesn't mean, now, where did I see today? I saw one today. There was a headline. There's somebody male that is going to be, I don't think it was golf. It'll come to me, the sport where you're seeing another incursion and you're going to see a big battle over this. They're going to lose every time. Even if they get the person to play, people are not going to accept this. And politically, dying on that hill was what Democrats did. That was the surprise issue in addition to the usual laundry list in the last election. They don't know what to do. They don't want to be accused of deserting people that they feel are going to be discriminated against. No one's doing that. They're just saying, stay out of female sports. Okay. 855-839-1210, you get a line AT&T and Verizon Wireless. All you have to do is just push pound 1210. This is cut eight. Here's Ron DeSantis, who's great on these things, as far as drilling down right to the point. Here's what DeSantis said in the middle of this HB-1 visa controversy. HB-1B visas, would you support allowing more HB-1 visa immigration to the United States? I'm sure there's a lot of counties saying like rural Florida, who would love to have a qualified doctor, no matter where that doctor is from. The problem is, the way that has been implemented, they will bring in people in technology from other countries who work for lower rates than what Americans work for. I don't support undercutting American wages and the HB-1 program has been used to do that. I used to kind of, when people would say, "Hey, why not just have people that are credentialed coming up?" I was like, "Yeah, why not?" But the way it's operated, I think, has lowered wages for Americans. That's what you don't want. If it's an addition for the economy that benefits the American people, that's one thing. But if it's displacing an American worker, that's not good. Well, that's what it is. He kind of couched it there at the end. It's clear to me. Didn't we see in the last election, and what Vivek Ramaswami, maybe Musk, they're talking the macroeconomy, "Oh, this is going to grow American," all that? Tell that to the micro. Now what Biden, they kept on saying how good the economy was, right? But the average person was saying with inflation, "That's not doing me any good." You can say that all that you want, whether that's true or not. That's another argument. Well, it's the same thing here. The economy will be booming with all these geniuses coming in from all these countries. Yes, and because they're willing to work for less, and/or be deported, if necessary, if they're not willing to work staggering hours for less, not because of their ability, that's going to displace hundreds of thousands potentially it already has of Americans. That's not what we want. That American that's displaced is more important than some spreadsheet saying how great things are. Trump got that. What did the bushes of the world and the Clintons of the world? What did they say about NAFTA and all that? Did they debate with H. Ross Burrough and everybody else? Well, this is going to enhance the macro. And what did it do to all these towns where their industry was there? That's where the job was. That's what kids grew up and that's what they went to, et cetera. It made them tank towns. Trump coming along in 2016 appealed to them that he was going to stop that. He did, by and large, renegotiate, push back on this rhetoric that tries to restrain it a bit. That's the micro. It's the average American feeling the pain of this stuff as a, quote, elites move forward. Isn't that the same thing here? Isn't that what we're trying to avoid? All these lectures about how much better America will be, how is that the case when we're displacing American workers? It's obvious that's what they're doing for the reasons that I told you. Can't get away with it. Can't be sanctioned. I know we're coming into another holiday, but as we come out of that, this is still unfinished business. So what's the best way to approach this? Look, Elon Musk is still at Trump headquarters in Florida, working Trump over, I'm sure, talking with him and all the rest of it. Hard to know Trump's opinion of Musk. Is he enamored of this or is he putting up with it because it was potent to help him get elected? But the bottom line is there has to be, through every channel that I have, when we bring on these guests and when you start to get them back on now, cabinet members, representatives of one sort or another, no, this does not fly. The MAGA base is opposed to this, which I think they are. They get this picture, and Roberta Ben-Salem put it well today, when I've been saying the same thing, that we have a critical mass of Americans who are the best in the world. We're a nation of plus 300 million, I'm not sure if it's 3, 25, 3, whatever the number is when you count illegals and everything else. And out of that, we have significant numbers of people who can do these things that are world-class. We don't need this. Why do you keep saying that you do? Because you want to undercut them. So what do you have to resort to? You have to insult all Americans. It's not an insult to say how poor the public schools are in the big cities, or how deficient some parents are with the, you know, pushing their kids forward to get an education, etc. That's fine, but there's another America, and it's big of people that dream big, the American dream still alive, hard working, all those things. And it's an insult to try to diminish them. And we've got to win on this one, because I'm not signing up to be part of an operation that continues this HB1 stuff at the level we see it now, or enhances it. No, it's not what it's about. There's got to be a way to do this, though, without a civil war. Steve Bannon saying we're going to punch Elon Musk, I'm going to rip off his face if he doesn't just go and study this. Now Steve, he studied it, and he has a different opinion on this that's wrong. And the way to do this is the grassroots, the base, which Trump usually defers to, to make it clear in every way that they can that they're not supportive of this. I realize the holidays coming up and also this might be a little bit post, but I want this settled before the inauguration day. Don't forget, too, on inauguration day, talk radio 1210, out there at the NAC, the Newtown Athletic Club, and I'll be there at the magic moment. I had the honor of doing that before in 2016. We gathered together to watch the swearing in and all the things that go with it, and then you can react together. There's nothing like doing that, getting sandwich, a drink, sitting there together, watching it as people exchange. It's a club, it's a prestigious club, talk radio 1210. So mark that one down, hope to see you there. The last event we did there was unbelievable. All right, get in, hit me on the side, too. We had Anthony calling today, and in the beginning he was a little bit defending this. He really wants merit in people coming into the country. We do, too. But the bottom line is do we need legal immigration at this point? I'd say no. We don't need it. Pause. I would put a definitive time limit on it so we don't slide because immigration ultimately is part of our American fabric, but a year or two with no legal immigration, country's not going to suffer from that. It's time to recalibrate all this stuff. I mean, isn't that a lot of what the election was about? And suddenly we're on the defensive here with Elon Musk, more of a fake Ramaswami, insulting sleepovers? I still can't. He got wound up, you know, and he's looking for something to put in one category. He said we need more Olympian math and tutoring and fewer sleepovers. Anybody going to run out in the streets? That's right. Sleepovers are the problem. Sleepovers. 855-839-1210. Get him with Dom here. Make that call before the end of the year on Talk Radio 12 Tech. All right. Dom's here, Dano. Show an idea. Just come to me during the break. I was reading our buddy Johnny Z. Happy New Year to everybody at Mulligans and the whole family. When I said that, oh, it's going to be an even better summer at the summer White House, Mulligans. It's got Prezler in town. We may have to have a lottery, Henry, for seats there. We may have to start doing that right now. People claiming their seats. Oh, man. This early? Oh, yes. I mean, last year we had a couple of, well, when we had Kelsey Grammer there, literally we had to bring him in through the back door and it was, it got to be just, well, the fire marshal just set up with the heck. I mean, it was, you've been to Mulligans, right? I haven't, no. Oh, okay. Well, this summer you'll see what I mean here. It gets to be pretty ferocious and you want to be sitting at the bar. When Bob Kelly comes this year, which I know he will, people at the bar are going to be pushing in there because he's going to jump up and yell drinks for everybody at the bar. That's a tradition. It was not suddenly these people are all scrambling because that's everything else to be there. You say free anything. People come running everywhere. Oh, man. But this was, I think he had a hundred dollar bills he was throwing around. He just jumped up out of his seat in the middle of the interview. We want to make that an occurrence with every big guest that we get there, you know, we scream that. Give out money. Yeah, but Kelsey Grammer, he just couldn't ask for a better big star, all the stuff to talk with him about the beer and then the fact that he is more conservative or more libertarian conservative. It was really funny. Just the way the guy, what an actor, just the way he was nestling his french fries in his hand as he was eating, you know, I was imitating him. He just, it's like a Shakespearean actor with a french fry. He's a really good actor, not just a comedic, but really, and really smart guy. So we hope to have him back. We're working behind the scenes on it. We might also ask, who would you like to have a peer at Mulligan? So people go nuts, the stuff that they, Johnny Z said, Scott Prezler, delivered, bang. This year he might have to, he might make that to sleep over a headquarter. So he'll be there registering, pulling it all nighter. Yeah, exactly. We'll do something. You'll like it, I think. It's quite a spot for us, they even have the summer White House t-shirts available there. I think they still have some. All right, here's one of the big, I mean, this guy actually sang in a green leisure suit. I don't know if he was doing Tom Jones or not. It is the Earl of Tech Coney. Earl, who were you impersonating there? Um, I was doing Tom Jones. Tom Jones. I told Dan, I still haven't seen Tom Jones appear yet, you know, that's the ultimate guest. You imagine Tom Jones up on the bar at Mulligan's. That's it right there. That's what we need. But I am getting a plaque on my stool where I always did every time go out. See you. I told you right there it's reserved for the Earl of Tech Coney. We know where he sits. Got his name on him. Oh, get more stools, there's going to be more people this year. Right there next to the doors to the, wait just can hit me every single time. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. But I heard Tom Jones in the background. Yes. Go ahead Earl. I saw something on Twitter the other day, which I thought was rather profound. If we're bringing in all these H1B visas, because these people are so much smarter and better than us, why don't they just take the jobs and just fire the people that are, you know, taking the jobs out? Why do we have to train them if they're that smart and they're that good? Shouldn't they already know how to do the job? I mean, if I go and I tell Henry I'm a better producer than you, you know, I'd kick him out of the booth and I'd start producing. But if I have to go in and he has to show me how to produce the show, well then how do you know that I'm actually better at Henry's job than Henry is? Henry, if you could pull that from, I didn't get it to today sadly, but we'll play up to Earl's point before the end of the show, the Disney guy breaking down in tears who had to train these people for weeks, Earl, to your point. If they're so world-class, these would be petty things for them to do. Yeah, it's like, yeah, just let me sit down, I'll do it. That's exactly where they're not world-class. I remember when that story broke, you know, three or four years ago, you know, seeing it, you know, in the conservative newsfeeds where, you know, Disney employees are, you know, hot training for replacements. I remember reading those stories and it's like, I thought it was just Disney, but to my point from yesterday, but you notice how the quality of Disney has gone down and to my point yesterday, they're not working to make an American product, they're just making a product to get paid. That's right. And by the way, too, not that I'm negating, not all these people are from India, but somebody just hit me on Twitter and said, well, you know, how can they connect to America that easily? The national sport is cricket. I mean, is that going to say, well, that's pretty close to baseball, I don't think so. But if you read some of the news stories, other countries are doing the same thing where they bring in cheap labor, Saudi Arabia is building some mega city out in the middle of the desert. I think the city is actually like 100 miles long and, you know, maybe 50 yards wide or something like that. It's supposed to be some, you know, mega future city and they're having problems because they're bringing in low-cost workers, they're living in, you know, little shanty towns outside of, you know, this new city that's being built and, you know, there's all sorts of problems with these workers. It's like the old black and white film Metropolis where, you know, we're building all these, you know, bright, shiny cities, we're bringing in all these workers and they just, you know, live out on the edges and they're not allowed in. They can build the cities, but they're not allowed to actually live in the city and interact with the citizens. And we're doing the same thing here where we're bringing in people and it's akin to slavery. I mean, they're volunteering, we're paying them, but other than the fact that, you know, they volunteer and we're paying them, there's no difference between this and slavery. Well, you can be deported. That's always hanging over their head. That's why you work at 80 hours. And again, Earl, I think any reasonable person, you prove to me you have not even an Einstein, but just something that might be very hard, maybe, the eye test, et cetera. Okay, there's one, two, three people every year, maybe in America, I would like to take that challenge. I'll even put up my own money. I'm going to find somebody that can beat that person in America. That's how sure I am. Well, the deportation isn't anything new. My father told me a story. There was a Philadelphia roofer who used to bring in immigrants from Poland to go and to work for his company. Right. And he would hold their passports. If they acted up, he said, you know, I'm going to turn you in. I'm going to get you deported. And no, this was happening in the 1960s. That better not be up on a roof with those guys from Poland. So what's your side? Who do we leave behind in 2024? She keeps coming up all year, especially toward the end of the year. I would say beyond say, I mean, I'm expecting her to, you know, maybe show up at ABCs at Dick Clark, New Year's Rock and Eve, get paid for 20 million dollars, walk up to the stage, go to the mic and say, happy new, turn around, walk away, not even sing. Thank you, Earl. Thank you. That's a great one. All right. Well, she's country now, anyhow, though. All right. So it's 855-839-1210. I'll be off tomorrow, by the way, Lou Pate sitting in, but back on Thursday and Friday. And we'll see how this turns out before the end of the week. Again, don't have to cut ties with Vivek and the Elon Musk. It's not Civil War, but they can't win on this. It defies the very definition of MAGA. All right. Let's talk about the good stuff. Ring in the New Year, just like we did in 2024, but the best seafood for your party, or bring wherever you're headed tonight or the next few days with you. And that means get to Captain Chuckies and see everything they have to offer. Remember how much it can stock up at Captain Chuckies?

That's what a lot of these competent members are going to be, and I think most of them are going to get through. I may be putting up on the next day or so. Which one had a four or five is the most likely of the ones that have been talked about that maybe it won't happen? I think Pete Hegsef has moved into, not a short thing, but probably the most likely out of the three or four that are going to be contentious. I'll be putting that up. Here's a little bit, we were talking with Earl though, Henry was able to plot this. Here's a little bit, and I'm coming to your calls, the Disney IT guy talking about what it was like to have to deal with your replacement, training your replacement, even though there was no question about the quality or whatever these IT guys were doing, it's just they wanted to undercut them, and for weeks they had to train people or not get their severance. Here's what he said, "I walked into a small conference room with about two dozen highly respected fellow IT workers. The Disney executive made a harsh announcement to us all. All of you in this room will be losing your jobs in the next 90 days. Your jobs have been given over to a foreign workforce. In the meantime, you will be training your replacements until your jobs are 100% transferred over to them, and if you do not cooperate, you will not receive any severance pay." I was completely silent during this meeting thinking how this was going to affect my co-workers. How was it going to break news to my family and pay all of our expenses? I would soon be living on unemployment. After that same day, I clearly remember going to the local church, pumpkin sale, and having to tell the kids, "I couldn't buy any of that year because of my job," but being turned over to a foreign worker. I started to think what kind of an American I was becoming. Was I going to become part of ruining our country by taking severance pay in exchange for training my foreign replacement? How many other if American families would be affected by the same foreign worker that I trained? The first part of my 90-day period was focused on capturing all that we did with our jobs. We all felt extremely humiliated when the foreign worker sat next to us and watched everything that we did. The final period of the 90 days was the most disgraceful and demoralizing as we had to watch the foreign workers completely take over our jobs. When we came to grips that the upcoming Disney Jobs Promise didn't exist, then finally on January 31st of 2015, we were ordered to turn on our company badges, laptops, and then ushered out the door. How can people hear these stories about Disney and the like from the barbers of the bankers are completely shocked? Yet our lawmakers continue to debate the topic and take no action. All right. We got the point to read this guy. I'll thank you for the reminder of that. Keep that one on for Thursday, Henry. This Disney, that was one of the major ones that people first saw this that became public, that became kind of blatant, and that's what's at stake here, undercutting Americans, many of whom, to Earl's point, these guys are such whiz kids. Why do they need so much training, then, more than the American? Mark in the Northeast on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Mark. Hey, Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Thank you, Mark. I completely agree, we probably need to take a five-year hiatus on immigration, kind of like we did during the '20s and the '30s, but assuming, you know, and this may sound a little counterintuitive, but assuming that we need to hire these foreign workers in general, not specifically the H-1Bs, but old foreign workers, all of these work visas, assuming that we can't find any Americans to do these jobs as the argument always goes. I'm thinking if you have to hire these foreign workers and bring them in, you have to pay them. You're required to pay them at least double the average wage of an American. That is a great point, and we'll see that they won't do that, then. That's exactly right. Precisely, precisely. And again, Mark, you know, we're in the holiday lull here, but I don't want a civil war. We got too many big fish to fry, but we can't lose on this one. It just distorts exactly what the Trump message was. What would you leave behind in 2024? I'm going to say vegans. All right. All right. I think I know some that are very good people, Henry, you don't have any vegan or vegetarian in you, do you? No, not even a little. Okay. Well, I'm a vegetarian, at least by my standards. Now, maybe a Pescatarian because I'll be having seafood tonight. So yeah, I could never be a Pescatarian. No way. What I have to do is eat vegetables and fish. Yeah, that's right. I'm not huge in a fish. How about crab cakes? I won't disparage the crab cake, but I'm not putting it on my plate. All right. Well, at least we're getting close to the shellfish, the shellfish, just not, not into it. Okay. Anything with a shell, really. All right. Let's go to Drew and Upper Darby. Drew, Happy New Year. Hi. Hey, I'm happy New Year. All you guys in the staff. Thank you, man. I'm with you on this visa thing, for me, essentially it's just America offering affirmative action after the rest of the world, you know, like you hire scientists from like Norway or something. There's probably at least 50 of the same person on the campus of Stanford with the same credentials. Why can't we just hire our own? It's just as good if not better. It's affirmative action for the whole world. Yeah. You know what? I think this could be maybe a short running, but it could be a TV series, you know, with some glitz and stuff. We bring in the person they want to come into the country and then we have the American, or a few Americans on this, Drew, and we'll see what happens. Right. And the gentleman you had just recently on the recording back in '15, that's the ultimate conflict of interest. He's training a foreigner for his job that he could do just as good as anyone else. And listen to the integrity of that man saying, I didn't want to do this because how many more people are my harming by going along with this man? That takes a lot of guts to be thinking that way. It really does. Exactly. I mean, it's just a bad, bad sequence of events and you know, as far as I want to see in the rear room here, whatever the question is, no more drag queens in the classroom. All right. That is repulsive. That is a very good one in the classroom or libraries, whatever. But you know, as long as parents allow, as long as libraries allow an alternate to be in there and don't stifle them, these parents want to take their kids to this go figure. All right. All right. It is the lightning round next. And here's how you get in 8, 5, 5, 8, 3, 9, 12, 10. It is here something you'd leave behind in 2024. We've had some great ones all over the place. And again, if you ever have a side question, just hit me with an email or hit it on Twitter and I'll take a look at it. We have a nice stockpile, but we're always looking for a great one because they really introduce us to all the people out there that maybe we wouldn't have heard of as much like coming up, Joe of Exten, 8, 5, 5, 8, 3, 9, 12, 10. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning round. All right. I've got to check this back now. People on Twitter, I'm not sure about this, but the current HP one has a current salary cap of $65,000 a year. This is a specialty position, but people here in the United States cannot do it. Should it pay the big bucks, no one else can do it, right? Ah, I got to look that up, $65,000. I'm sure there's some ways around that. I'm sure. I'm sure there's some loopholes. Yeah. But you see what the intent is here. It's not so much market value in these things, even if they offer more to people around it, they still have the flexibility to undercut American workers in. In other words, Henry, they can say, well, it's only paying $65,000. Even if they're cooking up some deal behind the scenes here, how does that get checked on? Yeah. It gives too much wiggle room here on this. All right. The Joe of Exten on Talk Radio 1210, Joe, Happy New Year. Hello, Dom, and Happy New Year. For 2025, I would like to see them discontinue electing corporate bagger politicians from out of state, Phil Murphy, instead, electing politicians who are familiar with the people and culture of that state. I don't know. I couldn't agree more. The Republicans did it here, too, with Dr. Oz, you know, bringing in parachuting him in. But Murphy doesn't even know how to eat pizza the right way. How can you have that governor of Jersey? I have a comment. Yes, Joe. In support of your argument, at the beginning of the program, America does have the best and the brightest. The Henry Ford on the Edison and Oppenheimer. Yes, take that, Joe. You know, that's what I should ask. Who do we put in our Mount Rushmore that's going to match the rest of the world? That's not a bad list to start it with. Even though Dan would diminish the great Edison, I'm glad you did not. I would as well. Oh, there we go. Henry, too. They're both in training. Must be a Greg Stocker quiz question. Tell me what you think of Tesla and tell me what you think of Edison. Oh, God. All right. Let me take one more here quickly. Andy in Center City. Hi, Andy. Happy New Year. Hey, Don. Happy New Year. I really let your show. I've been listening to you off on on Sunday. I'm cleaning up the house for 2025. I would recommend. I would hope that in 2025, we finally leave Barack Obama behind. Yeah. Wow. I'm so tired of him. Yeah, this election really, really stopped him. I mean, he was one of the big losers of the election. That's right. Yeah. I think so. But I think if you look at his history for addressing candidates, he has a losing track record. He endorsed Coronavine, who lost miserably. He endorsed Camilly, whatever her name was. And everybody, he's endorsed. He's got about a 10% hit rate. He's not very good. I hope we're done with him finally. The thing that I would like to comment on real quick, and then I'll get off because I know you're busy. I've been listening to you off and on today. And I think some of the, I agree mostly with what you say, but some of the commentators have confused brains with brawn. So if you're a roofer or you're a bricklayer or you can do plaster work, that's a lot of manual labor. And I don't want to see those guys displaced, but when I worked in California 15 years ago flying back and forth, I met some computer engineers and I'll tell you where they were from. They were from India. Why were they from India? English speaking country, they're highly educated. They're very technically competent. And they were working for the big boxes out there like Microsoft and everywhere else where they paid slave wages and they got the same slave wages. So I think we need to look at this carefully because our education system is not preparing these people to go into science, technology, engineering and math. I differ with you though, Andy. Here's where we differ. You know, across the board, the education system is pitiful, but given the number of Americans and given, I think we still have two Americas, I think you have significant number of Americans who are still equal or better across the board in these fields. I'd have to see, do you need millions of them? Would we have that? That might be a stretch, but if it's hundreds thousands, we have them. Well, I listen to, I hope you would clarify the issue on coming into this country and the wage tax because the engineers that I met weren't suffering with any wage caps. They were driving us. Nice car. I'm checking on it. I got it. Thank you, Andy. Have a good new year. Got a run here. Henry, give me a couple of candidates here. Yeah. I think one of the stronger ones here was, let's see, Bill and Buck's county here with the planned obsolescence argument. Yes. I think we have gotten away from building things to last instead of building things to make a profit. So I really like his thinking on that. And then I like Joe and Exten's answer of out-of-state politicians. You know what? He's right. Like the people we elect should not be coming from Massachusetts or wherever, it's a different part of the country. They moved here just because, you know, oh, hey, I can win this seat. No, we need people who know the state, want to be in the state and have lived in the state the whole time. So I like those two answers. I would go with Joe on that. The Phil Murphy, always the king of hair, the prince of hair, always strikes me on that. So let's put that in. All right. Letting goes into the hat all day tomorrow, but we'll be plotting and planning for a great 20/25. Henry off tomorrow too. Lou Pape will be sitting in. But Thursday, Friday, we round out the week and we'll get a winner with another great side question. Follow on Twitter, though, putting a lot of stuff up and I'll run down to 65,000 a year. Cap HB1. And I take Andy's point. I just believe we have enough Americans. Despite the lagging number of Americans, remember, it's just a few thousand against a few thousand. It's not everybody in this country versus some of these other countries. The math scores are abysmal. When you look at the totality, we don't have to call out Philadelphia, Camden, and places like that, even some suburban schools. But we do have the best and the brightest. It's a simple fact. The debate will continue. Have a great New Year's. I'll tell you about the Conclave. Rather, Henry was right or dying. Oh, man. It's good. It's good. It's not great. Oh, now he's backped. No. I've maintained the whole time. It's a good movie. It's a Dan tactic. This is exactly what Dan does. Four stars. Good move. Four stars is good. Four stars is a lot of stars I'm paying for here. But remember, we got stiff the other day, so it's free popcorn in a soda and amber. And that'll make it more enjoyable. And gallows, Jim R.V., welcome on board in 2025. All right, Pat Callahan takes you to the next four hours. Talk Radio 1210, W.P.H. Day. Time to hear Dano weekdays nine till noon on talk radio 1210, W.P.H.D. (explosion)
