Scott Prezler, of course, makes his weekly house call at 2 o'clock. He's got more great numbers in the registration in Pennsylvania, among other things. And Jersey, I could tell you behind the scenes people are meeting with him, raising money. I'm talking about high level stuff going on. And I think we're going to win in New Jersey. And Prezler is not the secret weapon every more, because we all know it. I will get into what we spent, I think, Thursday and Friday on. It was pretty intense. Not too many people differed with me. So if you do, this whole thing with the Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswami, here's a question for you before I tell you what President Trump just put on true social a little while ago. I love this piece. America should not become a nation of tiger mops. Do we want to be a nation of tiger mops? That's Vivek Ramaswami. And I told you, it's not just the HB1 visa thing. It's an insult to Americans, to our culture. Yes? Do we have significant numbers of people? You can give me how many you think, that are lazy, not doing the right thing with their kids, et cetera. It's a public school system that we fight against and try to push every single day, suspect, yes. But does that mean we want to turn into a nation of tiger mops? Over their kids, now we interviewed the tiger mom. The first time with her book, she was solidly behind it. The second time, she moved away from it and thought it was over the top. Vivek wrote, "Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long, at least since the '90s. It doesn't start in college, it starts young. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math Olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian will not produce the best engineer. Stop it already. Come on. Get some new lines here. This is all, by the way, of saying, we can't compete with these people around the world. All is scammed. They want to bring in and already have. And I have a lot more information today with his HB-1 visa. Sadly, President Trump sided over the weekend with Elon Musk, at least on this. That's way out of line with MAGA America first. It just is. It just is. Now, that doesn't mean that Elon Musk and Vivek Rama Swami are out of the tent. Remember the Reagan principle? You agree with 80%. We'll probably agree with more than that. But here's the grand bargain. Is this what we're going to be offered? We're going to let you run a mug with so-called legal immigration, visa V, HB-1, and these other. There's a whole bunch of them because Americans just can't compete intellectually with these giants of the universe. And we'll crack down on the other end at the border. You know what? I think we've got enough immigration right now. How about that as a statement? Do we have enough immigration we've had enough for right now until we sort things out here? And yeah, could you have someone extraordinary that we want? Or if it's sports, pro-sports, we've got to put up with some genius coming from France or somewhere else for the NBA, okay? There are extraordinary circumstances. I read a piece over the weekend about some of the compromises we made with the German scientist in order to beef up our scientific community vis-a-vis weaponry and things of that nature. And out of all those years and all these people were talking a lot, it was under 1,000, including everybody that they brought, family and the whole thing, under 1,000. Here we're being dwarfed with almost a million a year of legal immigrants for all these HB-1 in these other programs. Enough already, America first either has to mean Americans first or it doesn't. So are you okay with the grand bargain? God, that's okay. If they shut down the border, I'll let them run a muck against certain Americans in certain professions, but it's more than just the IT. I have the information here. We have one college using the HB-1 visa system to bring in an assistant football coach. Was that a genius? No, they didn't want to pay. Wake Forrest brought in an assistant track coach, "Oh, it's just going to give us the edge in the Olympics." "Shaw, come on." They didn't want to pay. That's what it's about. They want all this grunt work and then they want to say that people that are willing to do this because, "Oh, I don't know. You know what's hanging over your head, potential deportation? If you don't meet the standard of these tech companies, deportation. What Americans have to work against that?" And I have the stats today, too, on how many Americans get dismissed versus these foreign workers and all these companies, and it's clear there's a discriminatory pattern. So some people suggest, "Well, that's your grand bargain." These guys, what they want, they get that, you get what you want. You know what? I stand with all American workers. I don't care what the industry is. I don't care what the situation is. My instinct is we're America. We can certainly produce whatever the hell we want to produce in any field. Now, could there be, Kevin, it's the whole world, somebody extraordinary in a particular field? Yes, but it's very limited. Are you okay with the grand bargain? Don't put your head under the covers. You can be critical of this. Are you okay with the idea that we'll shut down the border with Mexico, essentially? We'll stop that, but on the other side, we're going to go wild against the American worker again. I don't care who says it, I don't care who literally says it. I'm against that. I'm not for that bargain. That's not what this election was about. It was about protecting American workers, either white collar or blue collar, whatever collar or no collar, that's what it's about, 855-839-1210, we'll get to your calls. Now, President Trump did put up on Truth Social, and this is a major break, and I think this is going to be a real battle. Some of the people that are against Mike Johnson, remaining speaker, just are almost impossible to please. Thomas Massey, all right, he's the libertarian, smart guy from Kentucky, the sparks woman, the Ukrainian lobby woman who doesn't even want to be on committees, she's against. So right there, we're in trouble with Johnson surviving. Now, I don't care if Johnson survives or not, I got a lot of problems with him. You know, I'd rather have Jim Jordan without a doubt. But what I don't want is this endless cycle of churning and votes. Now remember, this starts on Friday, we'll have some of the players on before then, talking about this, it starts on Friday, January 3rd, the scrum over this. President Trump tweeted out, "We are the party of common sense, primary reason that we want in the land side, all seven swing states, millions of new voters, Republicans are being praised for having run a legendary campaign." And then he pivots in this post on Truth Social. And he says that the American people need immediate relief from all the destructive policies of the last administration. Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hardworking, religious man. He will do the right thing. We will continue to win. Mike has my complete and total endorsement, MAGA, with three exclamation points. All right, now, this is the first time Trump has weighed in this publicly with Mike Johnson. I know there are a lot of people listening that are skeptical of Johnson. And Trump, I think, is signaling, "Look, you know, I want to get this off and running. For someone who's not in office yet, I've made incredible things happen here in different ways already. Let's keep it going. I can't do it if two or three people in the house, or at six or seven, it might be something like that, start being all over the place. We have all these votes, all this fighting, as we saw the last time." So he's with Johnson. I can make an argument that Johnson is on the cusp of passable, but I think we have better people there. And I think Jim Jordan is the person. What does Trump see, though, here? I told you when I think he sees, does that give you pause and say, "Yeah, maybe we should put up with Mike Johnson." It's a very difficult situation. Maybe Trump feels he did the best he could with this. Even though Elon Musk is the one that went after him on Twitter, repeatedly, you may remember, when they had that huge bill that thank God was stopped. So is this enough to put Johnson over the top? I think it's going to be close. And again, because all you need is two or three people, I identified two. I think there could be three or four more that don't want to vote for Johnson, at least early on. Would they by the end of the day, Friday, do it, maybe? But if we get into this scrum again, you remember what happened the way it's time. Some people loved it. It was exciting on the floor, gates, the whole thing, right? Almost went to Fisticuffs. But is that what we want when we're eager to get up and running here, 855, 839, 1210? So I think this is pretty big news of the day that President Trump has come out in favor of Johnson. I'm a bit surprised, but I told you what may be going on behind the scenes that maybe should not make me surprised. All right. Let me give you the side question. Now, this is a time of year these days, December 30th, December 31st. We take a look back at the whole year. So I thought rather than do that and ask the story of the year, either we're one of funny one and entertaining one, a serious one. I made it since we're on the cusp of 2025 and just a day or so. Go back 25 years. You have 25 years in the Philadelphia area, 25 big years to look at back to 2000. Hit me with a story that you think is big, entertaining. Maybe you would say only in Philadelphia, you know, this is just look at the Eagles games. I mean, you don't see this passion in these other towns, not at all. So here are a few that I thought of that are either big, affect our lives and/or funny or weird. And no, please don't do the choir killing himself thing. I don't know if that was in 2000. That was the 90s that we could put out of the statue. Yeah. But I'm saying, don't call Henry. Please we get so tired of it. You can't win with Budge wire. It's in the cat forever. Okay. It wasn't in the 90s, as I remember, right? All right. So I'm going to take off Larry Krasner's election. Just think of what that said off. The suburbs going pretty blue. Think about it in our lifetime. This is only the last 10 years the suburbs have gone this way. One that occurred to me, I've had him in studio, I've had him on several times, Philly Jesus is always fun, always an interesting story. Oh, man. I forgot about him. Yes. One that strikes as certainly the dark side of Philadelphia. There was this thing called hitchpot, kind of a bot that had to be hitchhiking his way across the country. Now, I forgot he got thousands of miles. Suddenly, they found him in an alley, beheaded here in Philadelphia. Not a good look, but that's quintessential Philadelphia. He made it all the way until he got to Philadelphia. Hitchpot. Henry, do you have one? Yeah. You took it right out of my mouth there with hitchpot. I was going to say April 2015, he made it across Canada, the Netherlands, and Germany, but as soon as he started his trek in the US to captain Philadelphia. To capitate. Yeah. So why don't I take a rain check here? And when I got one, I'll get back to him. Okay, sure. When you got another one. Okay. It could be silly. It could be a favorite. It could be a big story. It could be something impactful. I have another one right off the top of my head. The chicken man. Oh, yes. The guy who ate a rotisserie chicken every day, I believe, was for 40 days. And then he had a big gathering last year. Yes. He had a abandoned pier and ate his final rotisserie chicken to a crowd of hundreds. I thought he still was doing that. All right. Maybe there's a knockoff guy in New York who eats like cheese balls and cookies and it's very lame. Very lame knockoff. All right. So that is an excellent that is quintessential Philadelphia story legendary, you know, it adds to the legend. Joey Coyle, you can't use anymore. Sadly, I think that that's got to be 90s running through the airport, a hundred dollar bills coming out of his boots after the truck hit a bump and the money went all over the place down in, well, what is that? Like third street, second street, two street. Okay. Get in with that and are you willing to make that trade? Yeah. Let them bring in. Who cares? Bring in armies of these people to displace American workers. As long as we shut down the border and they help Trump, you got to give them something. Let them run all that. Let them, you know, displace these American workers. All right. Isn't that the thing we all signed up for it to stand up with American workers against anybody in the world, against all these elements, all these people that gave us NAFTA and these other trade deals, right? Yeah, I'll play you a little bit. President Trump said, now, look, when he ran in 2016 and he said, well, what am I supposed to do? It's a additive thing if everybody's using the HP one and I don't use it. That's problem. Okay. That's one thing. This is now endorsing it. Why? Because these guys with ache and these other billionaires and Elon Musk, they want it. So you're being told, shut up. We want it. And you're being insulted as Americans. And then you see some people glime and on to, oh, isn't it troll that Americans really are? No. Everything all Americans, yes, there are deficiencies here without a doubt. But still we have enough that's the best in the world that is still pushing that forward. At least that's what I see. What's the evidence that you see something different? Well, you know, you can't expect Americans to work like these people will, they'll put here. Oh, yeah. Should they have to compete threat of being deported? I think that'll make you work pretty hard. All right. So let's go to the phone lines, 855-839-1210. You get on board AT&T and Verizon wireless. All I need you to do is just push pound 1210. All right. Time to hear down. Oh, show 855-839-1210. Hit us on the side question and also this grand bargain. The forces that helped elect President Trump, they get to run wild with so-called legal immigration because Americans are stupid or they're not as competitive, really. Yeah, people that they're afraid of being deported or coming from a third world country in some way, shape, or form, Americans should have to compete with that. Is that what you say? Well, remember how we felt about this on the other side of the Trump coalition, MAGA and all these tank towns, when they were abandoned by the so-called quote elite, it's usually democratic who made all these trade deals and think slave labor in China, you got to compete with that. You can't. Are you thinking that's a good bargain? Are you on board with that? 855-839-1210. And the side question, you got 25 years to hit us with something funny, entertaining, impactful, in the news, a story that happened since 2000 as we count down to the new year. By the way, this is cut 10. Here is Joe Biden taking the occasion of the passing of Jimmy Carter. And look, you know, I think it's a good rule, not to...

Find a shoe for every you at your DSW store or DSW.com. Speak ill of the dead to savage them or something like that unless they are just worthy at an extreme level. But I will tell you a couple of negatives, one of which I really resented with Jimmy Carter. His post presidency life was tremendous and the good that he did. There is no doubt. He was an ineffectual president though, to put it mildly, and that's why Reagan got elected. But here's Biden. What does he take from the passing of his friend? Biden says, "Yeah, Jimmy Carter could have been my father." Oh my God. This is the presidency, decency, decency. Everybody deserves a shot, everybody. Can you imagine Jimmy Carter walking by someone, you need something to just keep walking? Can you imagine Jimmy Carter referring to someone by the way they look or where they talk? I can't. I can't. You know, I think the end of the deal here is that one of the reasons why we look to by the rest of the world, for the bulk of our nation, we've laid out what our values are. They simply believe it's not just in that right, we all need to choose to be self-evident opinion. There's a feeling the rest of the world looks to us, looks to us, that he was worth looking to. But thank you very much. Can you imagine this man in this rotten family up and down the line on CBS Face The Nation? The CBS reporters said the most underreported story of the year was, well, the most underreported story of the year was the fact that we saw the decline of Biden that was obvious and that the media, even after the debate to a large jury, so they got the signal the Democrats were ready to tag in somebody else who had a better chance, they just said, "Biden sharp." You know, we could produce all day long clips of all this stuff, "Oh, the Biden, I always entered talking geopolitics." Listen, the Trump, he knows the no geopolitics. So it's fine to admit to that as an underreported story, but then the question becomes why? Was it that hard to penetrate these geniuses around Biden? And we still don't know. Now Bob Woodward or somebody will give it more definitively. Who was it that was actually and is actually now running the government? Anytime you hear Susan Rice's name there, but I'm starting to believe it was more Dr. Jill Biden under the guise of protecting Joe, et cetera, in the final big picture. Now the day-to-day stuff, neither one of them maybe knew what was happening and Susan Rice ran clean and maybe one or two others and they wanted to continue with Biden because they were running. They're unelected and they're running wild with power. But I think Dr. Jill Biden was, I mean, Edith Wilson, when Wilson had a stroke, she was only president essentially running the country for 18 months. This was four years of it, plus back then slower pace, not as much, you know, stuff going on, and when she was essentially making the decisions and saying that's what Woodrow Wilson was telling her really, big difference between that and Joe Biden. Who really was making this decision? Whose fingerprints did Biden really know anything of consequence with those people he pardoned? You know, you might have been on board with the idea just to stick it to Trump or because of Hunter Biden or something else. But there's no doubt. And he doesn't have a clue of anything that is specific, detailed, just look at what they went through to try to prop them up. And did the same forces want to get them out of there quickly by agreeing to their very early debate, giving time to tag in Harris? Well, no, at some point, they'll admit it way too late, but they did it. They covered, and not only did they cover and not cover it, they savaged talk radio Fox News and others who brought this up. So they were affirmatively aggressive in pushing on this. The Praetorian guard, they would have done anything to cover it up. Even after the debate, it wasn't instantly wow, that one exchange. When Trump said, I don't know what he just said, neither does he. They went after Jake Tapper and Dana Bash because they didn't jump into the ring. If David Muir had been there, man, he would have jumped right into that ring. He would have allowed that to continue. We're going to take a break here. What do you mean a break? We're five minutes in. We're taking a break, just remarkable. All right. So 855-839-1210, you get on board AT&T and Verizon wireless. All you have to do is just push pound 1210 and we'll get you in. Are you okay with the grand bargain? Let the tech pros, billionaires or not, in that whole group here, have their way, let them import all the people they want, HB1 up and down the line, or as long as you get the border, as long as we stop that coming across the border, here's President Trump yesterday, and I would say clearly, he sees this on the Elon Musk side of it, cut six. Oh, I'm sorry, wait a minute, he's both the same, Henry, he's both, or... So one is from 2016 and then one of his comments over the summer. Oh, over the summer. I thought we had, well... So the way that was reported from, I believe it was Colin Rugg, he reported it as if it was tweeted, or he did say that yesterday, he made those comments in June, he got a fact checked by... Okay, all right. Thank you. So it comes to the same conclusion, but it was earlier that he said them. Correct, it was in June. Yeah. So here's what he said, really in June, we weren't paying attention so much to this, but endorsing the Elon Musk view on it, cut six. It's so sad when we lose people from Harvard, MIT, from the greatest schools, and lesser schools, that are phenomenal schools also. And what I wanted to do, and I would have done this, but then we had to solve the COVID problem because that came in and, you know, sort of dominated for a little while as you perhaps know, but what I want to do and what I will do is you graduate from a college, I think you should get automatically as part of your diploma, a green card. Let's stop it right there. Let's stop it right there. No, you shouldn't. Here again, we're going with big college and these alleged geniuses and all this stuff. They all get a green card if they graduate from Humpty Dumpty College. No, he's wrong. Continue. To be able to stay in this country. And that includes junior colleges, too. And even junior college. A college. You go in there for two years or four years. If you graduate or you get a doctorate degree from a college, you should be able to stay in this country. And you know more stories than I do, but I know of stories where people graduated from a top college or from a college, and they desperately wanted to stay here that a plan for a company, a concept, and they can't, they go back to India, they go back to China, they do the same basic company in those places, and they become multi-billionaires employed thousands and thousands of people, and it could have been done here. And a bigger example is you need a pool of people to work for your companies. You have great companies and they have to be smart people. Not everybody can be less than smart. You need brilliant people. And we force the brilliant people, the people that graduate from college, the people that are number one of their class from the best colleges, you have to be able to recruit these people and keep the people. It was such a big deal. Somebody graduates at the top of the class, they can't even make a deal with the company because they don't think they're going to be able to stay in the country. That is going to end on day one. I want to see that now. I'll take that bet right here. You want to step up anybody and make a pizza bet? I don't know. Henry, do you think this is going to end on day one? Is he really going to sign in executive order saying you get a green card if you graduate college? No. I oppose it now. I oppose it then. I'll oppose it on that day and I'll oppose it for the rest of my life. No. And it's just for the reason you just laid out there. You're opposing it right now. So there's clearly some in-house strife over this issue. Yeah. So yeah, day one, absolutely not. I want to see if we find anybody. I'll shut up. Henry will put the muzzle on me electronically. I'm in the dom dom. I can't talk. I can't call and tell us why all these geniuses graduating our schools, they ought to be here forever on green cards taking jobs for Americans. We need them. They're brilliant again with this nonsense. And I thought he said it over the weekend that that's an error. It was in June, but we didn't pay attention to it when the throws of everything else. So is that the deal on day one or is this Trump just extemporaneously again? Do I think we're going to see this? I will be shocked if we see it, signing that order. And I oppose it now and I'll oppose it then and I can't be any more direct about it than to say that. 855-839-1210. You get on board.

And one of the things, that's our side question today, but we're going all the way back. To the year 2000, Philadelphia area, it is with something funny, weird, there's 50 other maybe that we didn't take off the board yet, or impactful that you think deserves a mention as your story, your new story, a funny story, current event story of that time, we'll put you in the running for the grand prize at the end of the week. But also joining us is Director of Communications at the Pennsylvania Family Institute at Hoseway, in Sierra, as we start to countdown and find out what they saw as the big stories this year. Hey, Hoseway, welcome back to the show. Thanks for joining us. Thanks, I'm glad to be here. Well, what this year was most enveloping for what Pennsylvania Family Institute works on? Well, Dom, honestly, this year was a year of more preventing certain things from going on than from really celebrating wins. And of course, that's a win for us, protecting religious freedom, protecting life, protecting children in their private spaces and schools. And so I think this year for us was a year of the little things every week, week in and week out. And that's what we do in Harrisburg. All right, give us a few of that. What were some of the highlights? What were some of the things protecting against, I guess? I think HP 300, really being able to say no to that was an important one. It really has a lot of problems in it in terms of the protection to religious freedom. It's a propaganda piece. It's a lot of misnomer. A lot of what's the word, it's supposedly for protection, but it's not. And until it'll put a lot of restrictions on businesses in terms of being able to hire according to their values. And so that's one of the ones that I think we celebrate. Obviously, we also celebrate the March for Life in September. We had a huge showing, lots of organizations that were there and present. And I think it just goes to show that the issue of abortion and protecting life continues to be a high priority for a lot of Commonwealth citizens. The Shapiro administration now nationally, he has star has risen since he didn't get the VP thing. I think he should have masquerades as the so-called moderate. I don't see him moderate in anything. He's just a chameleon. What are you seeing coming up now with the Shapiro administration? Independent financial advisors focus on building a relationship with you that goes beyond your portfolio.

I really don't have much to say to that. I will agree that there seems to be very little about moderation in the Democrat Party right now. Anything that's moderation is really in the only, and ultimately the hard left are the ones in control. Hopefully there's some good common sense Democrats that can realize this and start stepping up. One of the things that I would love to see is legislation protecting girl sports. We saw two Democrats at the federal level stand up for protecting girls sports, certainly 20-something states have passed legislation protecting kids from transgender surgeries and interventions. I would love to see something like that in Pennsylvania if a few Democrats are willing to cross and be bipartisan, do what parents want. This is a really bipartisan issue, very popular, over 60-something percent of adults believe that children should not be submitted to these things. We know though the last time they did do that. So 2022, we have the bill coming up again. It's already been announced, the fairness in women's sports and several Democrats. I'd have to go back and see did it reach double figures at the House level, which is critical. They were in favor of it. Now they only have a one-vote, one-seat majority there, so all we need are two, three, and this will pass. And then we'll go to Josh Shapiro for signature, Wolf Vito, they just didn't have enough votes to get to two-thirds to override the Vito. I don't think they would this time, but would he dare Vito that? So what are you hearing in Harrisburg though? You seem to be pretty optimistic that this stands a reasonable chance to pass. Well, I'm not on the policy team, and so I don't have my use of the ground. That would be a question for Tom or Michael, some of the other teams that are speaking with legislators, but certainly I would hope so. I would hope if Josh was to embrace this sort of moderate label, then it would certainly help them to do so. The Gallup poll in '23 found in 69% of adults believe that the athletes should compete in the sport that matches their sex, and the numbers are even higher this year. So there's no reason I want not to, this is a bipartisan issue. Can you sketch out for me, if you can, just in general terms, what's the mission statement, Pennsylvania Family Institute, the family? We're hearing that be brought up, national conversation now politically, but let's talk about it in terms of what you guys, what the mission statement is, and the argument is that the American family is not pushing their kids enough academically, et cetera. What does the Pennsylvania Family Institute say about the family? What do they see as the ideal or the direction to go in? That's nonsense, Tom. The Pennsylvania Family Institute, our mission is to strengthen families by championing foundational values like life, marriage, religious liberty. Those are the building blocks of a culture. Parents know what's best. Parents love their children. Parents will always advocate for their children, and we see that. I think the problem is not parents not knowing what's best for their children. The problem is the increase in encroachment of government, the increase in encroachment of ideologies and philosophies and indoctrination that is harmful to the family, that is counter to creative order, to nature and to the objective science. So I think we need to empower more parents. We certainly encourage parents to step up, to speak up, because they know what's best for their children. Yeah, I think that's on the cutting edge. It's been for a while now, and I think 2025 is going to be a big year. Very hard to push back on parental rights, even when it comes to things in school. We have that debate in Virginia, where Youngkin won a few years back, because his opponent said they're the experts, they're going to tell you what the curriculum is. You have no say in that, and you shouldn't even have knowledge of it, apparently. Yeah, this continued force to deceive parents, to keep things from parents. This is ultimately harmful in so many dimensions, and so I think parents need to continue paying attention. Certainly the couple years of COVID was a wake-up call for many parents, they started noticing what was going on in the classrooms as kids were zooming in, and so the danger and the need for parents being alert continues to be essential. This year, 2025, certainly there are going to be a lot of issues. You talk to Michael a couple weeks ago about Planned Parenthood, and their investments in school board elections. I think that's going to be an important issue that parents need to pay attention to. They need to continually be looking. What are the curriculums your kids are using? What are they reading? What's going on in the schools? The other one is going to be the retention election with the Supreme Court justices. Again, I think parents can do their jobs. Parents know how to bring up their kids, they know their kids, they know what's best for them. We need to get the government out of the way in as much as possible, and certainly the Supreme Court retention election is one area where parents can have their voice heard and make sure that we're opening up those seats for judges that will protect parents and protect children. Absolutely. Where do we find the Pennsylvania Family Institute? Yeah, on our website is pafamily.org. We actually got a challenge grant going on right now. So if anybody wants to support our organization, we're taking donations to the end of tomorrow and so pafamily.org, I would also encourage listeners to sign up for our email alerts. They can then get updates. We do weekly emails on things that are going on, and make sure they stay in the loop of what's happening in Harrisburg. Thank you, Josue. Happy New Year, and we'll continue the conversation with you in 2025. Happy New Year to you and your listeners too. All right, Director of Communications at the Pennsylvania Family Institute. At one o'clock, we're going to talk with Jim Worthington, who's gearing up for the inauguration, and a little bit of insight into 2024 into 2025. The man, though, will be here, his usual house call at two o'clock. Scott Prezler here has got big news on the Pennsylvania registrations again. And in Jersey, some of the swarm of people now wanting to donate and be supportive of his efforts. And as far as I could tell, stay out of his way. That's exactly why he's a force. You're going to see it even bigger in 2025. All right, phone lines, though, are 855-839-1210, AT&T, and Verizon, wireless. All you have to do is just push pound 1210. Hit us with that news story, funny or impactful, that you remember over the last 25 years, we're almost 25 years to 2000. Went back that far just to have the nice 25 on it. Could be sports related. It could be something like hitchpot. Henry, did you think of one yet? Yeah, the chicken man. The chicken man. That's right. We did you. It's just a chicken man. That's right. Yeah, and the chicken man's out there at the chicken man, Philly Jesus, these cast of characters. I remember the hokey accent guy who the news media went to with the classic Northeast Philadelphia accent when we had the collapse of 95. And just his explanation, if you were in other parts of the country, oh, the accent was brutal. All right, so 85 5, 839 1210, jump on board, Dom and Henry today on Talk Radio 1210. On Twitter, Henry, I've been called provincial. Michael Moyer, Mike, come on now. He's responding to some people saying it's not only okay, it's smart. It's a smart thing. Bring it on all these people. At Dom Show 1210 is being provincial in his reasoning here. Well, if I'm being provincial, then I just, I must be, you know, a doofus too. And I must have misunderstood the whole America first thing. I must have misunderstood all these Americans in tank towns. We're going to protect their rights as Americans. Yeah, but you see, this is different. These people we don't care about. We're just going to pitch to these people over here. Really, provincial, is that provincial reasoning? No, no, no, I, I, I, I've had enough of the super geniuses. I've had enough of this, well, don't you like smart people, Dom? Yeah, of course. And there's plenty of Americans, millions of them, if not tens of millions or a hundred million, provincial on this. Yeah. That's a word of the day. It's a word of the day, provincial, provincial in the reasoning. Well, you know, when the MAGA movement under Trump gets called that, or racist because of this, then let's not take offense. I mean, on paper, is in that what they stood for. That's provincial thinking. See, we've got a deal here with Elon Musk and Vivek and these other clack of tech bros. They're going to get what they want and you're going to shut down the border. Yeah, but what about all my kids, stem and all this stuff? Shut up. You're provincial. I am so sick of this insult to America. I am so sick of this smart. I've interviewed Vivek Rama Swami. He's a smart guy, but I'm not, oh my God, why, I'm provincial. Thank you for enlightening me Vivek, 855-839-1210. Please go to Twitter on that comment and you can put your comments at Dom Show 1210. Let's go to Leslie and Bryn Mawr. Leslie asked a question of Elon Musk. Maybe she's not provincial. Hey, Leslie, welcome in. Hello, that was one of the highlights of the year. It was for me. Yes. Yes, it was. Sure. Anybody. Sure. It would be. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty amazing. It's something I will never forget. On Johnson, I think you're wrong. You know I like Mike Johnson. But you know, we should maybe be looking at, there's two other major leaders and that's Scalise and Emma. Whoa, wait a minute there now, Leslie. Check out Emma more closely. There is a classic rhino. Scalise, that's a different story. That's exactly where I'm going. You know, Marjorie Taylor Greene is always on Mike Johnson's case about getting him tossed. Make her the whip. And let's see how easy she thinks it is to whip votes for Republicans to get on the same page. Well, you know, the only thing I'll say though is Leslie, I, I, look, we're all human.

But what he capitulated on, I'm not on board with that thinking that monstrosity about the bill, that's not winning in any sense and saying he's clearing the decks. Can't do that. And look at what happened. They were able to pass something much more moderate. Yeah, but I think the reason he wanted that bill to see the light of day. And without it being brought to the floor, it doesn't see the light of day. And now Americans are very aware of how much garbage was put into that bill. He negotiated with Mitch McConnell $74,000 raises, you know, and come on. I know, I think, well, he thought that was the best he could get. I see it differently. And that's something. It's not just me. I just agree. I don't think he, I don't think he felt that that was the best he could get. Well, I think there was, there was purpose in, in bringing that to the light of day. All right. We differ on that. I, I don't think it's as easy to do that as you think. They negotiated that with McConnell and with the two Democrats in secret. I mean, I'm not opposed if it turns out being Johnson at all. But I think this is going to be very difficult for him to survive. You doubt it? Uh, I think if he has Trump support, he'll be fine. And as I say, you know, Marjorie Taylor Greene is always running around. You know, and, and, um, uh, is it chip Roy? Yeah. Well, uh, it's Massey too, Massey, another guy and also the woman, the Ukrainian woman. Spark. Yeah. If they think this is so easy, right, put them in, in the leadership, take Scalise out and take Emma out because they're the two that are ultimately responsible for getting the party in line to vote. Not Johnson. Well, that's not true. The speaker ultimately, they just, they just execute and they're supposed to be skilled in that. It's the speaker though, ultimately, and look, in the scheme of things, if he continues to be the speaker, I'm not going to, I understand how difficult this is. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, we're not talking about a large margin here when you're talking one or two votes. Exactly. And you have six or seven that are just living in an alternate reality. Yeah. And I believe they are. I think that, you know, how do they think things are going to go forward if they don't come together, uh, just like the last time, the Democrats, the Democrats have proved over and over again that by sticking it together, they can stick it to the Republicans. Exactly. Right. What's the news event, Leslie? The news event, um, it first, it was scary. Then it was, you know, was curious and then it ultimately became funny and it was the horse running down 995. Yes. Yes. Only in Philadelphia does a horse take off down a 95. Getting better timed and driving without a doubt. Yes. In full Gallup. In full Gallup. All right. Leslie, great one. Thank you. That's exactly the type we're looking for a little bit outside the box, but hit us with anything on that. All right. Coming up. Jim Worthington again from the Mount Rushmore. He helped lead the charge here in Pennsylvania, the master fundraiser, the NAC, he's, uh, involved in the inauguration big time will give you a preview of that. Scott Prezler here at two, tell me, you can tell me I'm not going to jump down your throat. Is that provincial thinking to say we have enough brilliant smart people in America? I mean, we have it into divide in America. America has oodles of people that are spectacular and are going to continue to do that. And then we have a lot of wretched stuff in the public schools. Yeah. Everybody in India is a genius. Everybody in whatever the country du jour is as a genius, not true. They want to have people that are going to work for less. That's what it comes down to. If they can make the case, this person is almost indispensable. You have to have them. Okay. You're going to put them in. That's what it comes down to deportation as a threat. How would you like to have? We're supposed to work against that. That's provincial. I think that's the essence of America first, a MAGA 855-839-1210. You get in. I get very, very cautious here when I have here people talking about all these geniuses and looking down on Americans in broad strokes. I get very, oh, yeah? How is this the most dominant country in the history of the world then? Oh, because of all these people we imported. Is that true? 855-839-1210. Tom Girdano, weekdays 9 till noon, on talk radio 1210-WPHD, Tom Girdano, on talk radio 1210-WPHD, on Philadelphia's talk radio 1210-WPHD, W-P-H-T-H-D, W-O-G-L-E-D-3, Philadelphia, from the Chiriel Volo Studios, where relationships matter, always live on the free Odyssey app. It's Dom Time, now Dom Girdano. It is Dom Time, before did we go to our good friend Jim Worthington from the NAC out there in Bucks County, the center of the political world for a little look back and look forward on Twitter, pretty good one. New story, last 25 years, filled off the area. The Columbus statue, think of all the twists and turns and what I remember, the protectors, the gravy seals, all those Italian guys from Packer Park, who showed up car on the statue. That's a good one, that could have been a winner, because that is one of those stories that had layers, sagas, it continues forever. Because the Jelly Vento, I want to say that's under 25 years, the sign that became the international here in America now, please speak English when ordering, six by nine inch sign that caused all that fewer. That's got to be circa in the 2000s, it can't be more than 25 years ago, can remember it as if it were yesterday. All right, Jim Worthington is labeled, without a doubt, one of the biggest supporters, creative supporters of President Trump and one of the biggest fundraisers in the entire country. In addition to that, the engine behind the scene, who convincing a guy over there in, what was it, Feasterville on Street Road to allow the McDonald's to be used for one of the top five moments of the entire presidential campaign. In addition to a multitude of other things, he joins us here on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Jim, good afternoon. Dom, how you doing? Very well. So what's the most vivid moments of 2024 during this campaign? I think when you told me about Susie Wiles, how much you admired her and how much control she had, that was a big moment for me, Jim, because yesterday, even some of the critics of Trump said this is a much more buttoned up operation than 2016. Yeah, she's definitely the gatekeeper and she made it clear when she got appointed, she said the circus won't be coming to the White House. She's a no-nonsense, hardworking, very, very bright woman. I'm sure your listeners, many of them probably don't know. She's Pat Summerall, the football announcer, ex-NFL player's daughter. I didn't know that. Yeah, kind of interesting story lying behind her, but she was one of the brain child behind the Santa's campaign when he ran a few years ago for governor. She is just an incredible, incredible woman and very, very nice and just very accomplished, so well-respected. I mean, when I hear people talk about the president not respecting women, if you look around some of the key, very key positions in his administration and in his campaign, we're held by women. Look at Laura Trump and Susie and a good friend of mine, Meredith O'Rourke, who was in charge of all of his fundraising, and then Alina Haba, and the list goes on and on. He loves strong women. He loves women that can, you know, are loyal, that can take his position and stand by him, but she's phenomenal. Well, you know, I'm not sure Homeland Security rings in my mind immediately with her, but she's got great executive experience, Christine Om, who has that talent, despite what happened from the biography, Trump still stuck with her and put her in, and I think she'll get through the nomination process because I have to tell you, Jim, I stood there interviewing her and then there was a TV crush in the spin room. She was as composed as sharp as anybody I've ever seen under that kind of fire that was going back and forth. I think she'll do fine as Homeland Security and she'll be on TV a lot having to defend, so he looked past some of the other things that caused such disruption. Yeah, she's awesome. I had gotten, had a good fortune of two years ago being asked to have a private, she needing with her in Warminster, she was there for an event for the GOP in Bucks County and I got to spend a good 45 minutes with her and her chief of staff just talking about Pennsylvania and what we needed to do and so on and so forth and she was very, very impressive. Yeah, the, what came out of that autobiography was not, I don't know, you know, I never really delved into it, it seems to me like it was a little bit taken out of context in regards to, you know, with the dog issue and all that because nobody's a bigger dog lover than me, but at the end of the day, I think she's going to do a phenomenal job, Pam, Beyondy's another one. I mean, the list goes on and on. Yeah, so Jim, looking back now, 2024, the inauguration coming up, give us a sense of what you're anticipating. Well, I think it's going to be electric, it's going to be an amazing day, I can tell you how many people have reached out to me in terms of, you know, trying to secure an inauguration ticket, get to the balls of that evening. I actually do have all the information on that in terms of people that are interested in going to it, there's a, if you've raised money or given money, there's an opportunity to get inauguration tickets, you know, as part of what you've done. There's also tickets in each congressional district through their congress, congressmen, there are a number of tickets that are available for free, but the demand is just been crazy and it started like the day after the election victory, people were reaching out, you know, hundreds and hundreds of people that have just reached out to me personally. And I know that's the case all across the country. The enthusiasm for the Trump presidency is just incredible. And I, you know, in '16, when he won, I was down there for that, and it was very under reported what a disaster that was with security and police being able to control the people around there. It was really an untold story, but I think they're going to have it all cleared up for this, this go around, they know what to expect and there's going to be a million people there. You've been to 2016 then. My advice, the one that I was the Obama first time around, it was beyond cold and I can take the cold usually, but oh my goodness, this was, and when you have a big crowd like that, it's hard to move around, hard to get into position, everything else, Jim. So I don't know what the weather forecast is, let's hope it's rolled if we mild. Yeah, it was brutal in 2016, and that's what everybody says that it's gone to the east. I have one friend that's going to aid in these things, believe it or not. And he just says the weather is so key on a day like that, because like you just said, Dom, once you get in there, there's not any moving around. You're like in there, shoulder to shoulder with a million other people. But it's still, it's a once in a lifetime for most people. If you haven't done it, I urge you to go. I would also urge you to take the train down from Philly, this area, not to drive down. I mean, even flying down there's a hassle because even if you flew, if you had the means to fly privately, it's a disaster because there's so many planes coming in the best way to get down there by train. I agree. They were looking at getting me in by boat, Jim, or getting me out by boat. That's how difficult it was to cover it. Yeah. So it's very, very difficult. Well, we'll have full coverage that day, and we hope to get you on if you're available at any point between noon until three. So what are you hearing, Jim? What is it on your mind, executive order-wise, that Trump might do on the first day? What are you most interested in? Well, certainly, borders, closing the borders, an executive order to put everything back in place that Biden had taken away would be number one on the list. In terms of other details, individual things, that would be number one in my book. For sure. I mean, that's the number one promise. I think coming out with all the initiatives that he is going to launch, I think, keeping the tax reform that he initiated in place going forward, I think would be important for the economy. Certainly opening up the drilling is at the top of the list. Again, drill-baby drill is he's everything he's basically said he was going to do. I think he's just got to come out, and if you can do it by executive order, do it. And if not, get Congress to vote on an ASAP. The one thing I am concerned about, I did hear that I think it was this morning, I was told that he came out in support of Mike Johnson, which I think is important, just for continuation of the momentum we have, what we don't need is to come up the works right now and have a diversion of getting things done ASAP because people don't realize it sometimes, but you have a short window here. You've got really got a year, year and a half at most to get things done. You get into the second half of the second year, forget about it, nothing's happening. You've got to get things done ASAP. No, particularly with this small of a margin in the house. So Jim, thank you and thanks for just at the NAC. I haven't done a better event ever, including the 40 yard football throw that you caught. You can witness that and put that down for listeners. It was quite a catch and the spike was very good too. Yeah, it was over the shoulder spike and I'm very proud of that moment. It was my only TD ever in football. Hey, Dom, in the date, inauguration day, you know, you're going to start with 9 a.m. at my place and it goes to what time? Well, it goes to at least three. For the event? Yes. Well, I'll let them Jim, I'm not sure if it was earlier than nine or the morning shows there or not. So we'll ask them to clarify that with you because I only know noon to three. I'll be there and I love it. And again, happy for you. You'll be at the inauguration, but we still want to get you on and talk up the NAC that I'm there. So Jim, thank you. I'll be sitting pretty up front there. So I will give you a bird's eye view if you want me to call in. Oh, yeah, definitely. I want to know if you spot any to pay wearing in the wing. Come on. What celebrities do you think might be there? Do you have any sense of who might be? You know, Trump draws more wild people coming to an inauguration than almost anybody. I think you're going to see the, you know, what's amazing that tomorrow night at Mar-a-Lago is going to be a who's who in the history of, I mean, honestly, the most powerful people in the world are going to be at Mar-a-Lago. I expect the same group, Elon being there, you know, everybody, Joe Rogan, I think you're going to see on an inauguration day, a bigger list of people than you've ever seen is what I'm hearing. And I know that they're all down there tomorrow night. Actually, I've been there the last three years. I will not be there this year because, Dom, I didn't tell you on Christmas Day, my wife and I had a baby girl. Oh, I didn't even know that. Congratulations, Jim. Yes, yes. Yes. So we're five days into it, so I won't be able to go down there or Tuesday night. But it's going to be a who's who. And I think that same group is going to be coming to the inauguration and to the balls afterwards. There's like seven balls. So it's going to be an amazing, amazing two days down there. You're our guy. We'll get full coverage of you, Jim. Just button up, nice and warm, the whole thing and all could be brutal. But thank you, Jim. And thanks for the NAC again. My pleasure, Dom. Thanks for having me on. All right, Jim Worthington from the NAC, Newtown Athletic Club. Yes, I know I'll be broadcast. I'm not sure the exact time will be announcing it shortly. But I know I'll be there noon till three again. You want to be there. You want to see the inauguration on that day. That's the place to be, okay, together. We saw it last year at, well, in 2016 over Chicky and Pete's. It's a magical moment when we all see it together. All right. Side question today, something quintessentially Philly, big impactful story, funny one, something that happened over the last 25 years. I brought it out to 2000. Let's go to Joe in Columbus on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Joe. Happy New Year. And thanks for an unbelievable time during our call or the year. Really appreciate it. Ah, you're welcome, Dom. It was worth all the time, fun, effort, everything. And I made some, thanks to you guys. I made some good, really good, solidified connections with people. So I think I may have said it before, but they're relationships are probably going to last a lifetime. Thanks to you. Well, you know what? That's part of the fun. The side question does it a little bit because nothing bonds having more fun with it. The events that we do, we're already looking forward, Joe, with Prezler. He's making while with the Capitol this entire effort. So it's going to be a real short summer. Yeah, it will. It will. Now that New Jersey is the next, the next hurdle, that's going to be interesting. So my, my side question answer is the, the one all agonizing Philly fans have been waiting for with Nick Foles and the Philly special. Absolutely, Joe. And I got thwarted when I had Nick Foles, the speaker series, it was called then Not Politics and Pints. I was going to reenact it with them, but then in the middle of it, he walked a little too close to the stage and like 500 people started swarming him. Oh my God. Well, I know if I told you this, I'm the only non eagle fan in my house. I get, I get, I get bombarded, you know, for, for, for different ways on Sunday. But that was worth my kids and joy and that, that you're giant Joe. No, I'm a cowboy fan. Oh, come on, Joe. Oh, God, we have to work on this one. What's the connection to the Cowboys? All right. I'm glad you asked. It's the only team I ever picked on my own. I had to be a Yankee fan because of my father and his ties with Joe tomorrow. I was six years old and I'm sitting watching an eagle game, Cowboys and Eagles. And my dad said, see number 22, he's the fastest guy in the world. And that guy ran a bomb. He caught a bomb for a touchdown. He ran a punt back for a touchdown that day. I saw the star on the helmet and I've been a cowboy fan ever since. Bob Hayes, right? Was it built? Bob Hayes? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I was so happy for my kids that, that, that touchdown, that, that Nick Holes touchdown. Oh, it is remarkable and they were calling it Philly Philly rather than the Phillies especially went a little nuts. Yeah. And I got to tell you, Joe, when you see these guys up close football players, Fols is the best example I give. I thought he was a skinny guy and they have him in the program as 243. That's frightening. Well, I, I want the school. I want the school. I love you to remember him. When I was at Temple, I went to school with a, with a guy named Steve Watson. Yeah. He, he was John Elway's wide receiver for the Broncos. I, we were working out in the army, the baseball team and the track team during the winter months. And I was a freshman. One of the upperclassmen brings me over to Steve Watson. He goes, Joe, I like you to meet Steve Watson. He just got drafted by the Denver Broncos. This guy had legs up to his navel and he, there was nobody on the Temple track team that could beat him in the 40 yard, the 40 yard dash. And the next year I'm seeing him catch, catch passes from, from, and, you know, when you see this guy on the football field, he looks like, you know, the, you know, like a, like a friend bullet in a car. When you see him in person, this guy was put together. He was built. Yeah. That's a great thing. These are not normal humans. They're just not. No. World class. Absolutely. Thank you, Joe. Great one today. Thank you. All right, John. Bye bye. All right, Henry. Cowboy fan. Cowboy fan. I was hoping he'd say like jets or something. Yeah. We have to work on them. We'll have to work on them. Set polygons and we'll have them in the rifle. It could be easy to turn them back. I mean, exactly. All right. So the Philly special, that is a good one. The horse running down 95 could be a big impactful story. It could be a story that just is quintessential Philadelphia, like the hitchpot 855-839-1210. And you heard, Jim, start marking that calendar. You'll want to watch it with us there at the neck together. I remember it, chicken and pizza, mob of people coming together, celebrating that moment when Trump takes the oath of office again and all that goes with it, full coverage. We'll have one, all kinds of people. But it's the coming together, meeting everybody that you hear. You may have met him before reviving all that, just as Joe said. It's quite a moment, quite a facility, and if we're going to do it in the room, I think we did it last time. I may have to throw the football at that moment. Henry, that would be quite a... That football, that the guy from Ambor brought, perfectly fit. But I realize now, why Kenny Pickett is not, wait a minute, am I transposing its pickett, right? Yeah, Kenny Pickett. Yeah, yeah. I remember them measuring, and Chip Kelly started this, hand-sized on a quarterback. He matters an awful lot, particularly in cold weather, and he was among the smaller hands guys, and he's guys with enormous hands that grip a ball in cold weather, particularly, he got much better chance of throwing the spiral and really not worrying about it. See the play he did yesterday where he held onto the ball? Oh my God. Yeah, and it looked bad. It looked worse in real time when you see it on the replay. You see his hand was tipped, but man, in real time I was like, "What is he doing?" Oh my gosh. Yeah, exactly right. As much as Dow has quit, that the Eagles with backups all over the place can beat him merciless. Yeah, I don't even think that was quit. I just think they stink. They got nobody left. I mean, I think it'd been a little different if CD lamb was on the field, but the fact that they're throwing like Jalen Tolbert, and come on, they took her then. Yeah, exactly. Boy, merciless. All right, 855-839-1210, you can get in with that. Scott Prezler at 2 o'clock, again, the story out there talking about is Elon Musk and this whole nonsense that Vivek Ramaswami went completely wild over the top on his view on America and why we don't produce the best engineers and all the rest of it. Please. Come on now. Really? We don't have those engineers. A lot of these jobs are not those top engineers, even the IT jobs. They're rungs down. And you know how you can tell, I have the salary figures here. And a lot of them are like 75 to 100 a year. Does that seem like they're, oh man, we're having a bidding war here. In today's economy, particularly living in Silicon Valley where a lot of this is, no, they're willing to work for less. They're willing to do the grunt work. They're fearful they'll be sent back to the native country. We've got to protect all American workers, not just let's shut down the border, absolutely. But I'm not in for the deal, wow, well shut down the border. You let us run wild. No, that is not what this movement is about. So it doesn't mean that Vivek and Elon Musk are out of the family business, but it means we're all in this big tent together, but they don't get their way. That is antithetical to the core of this movement. Is that provincial? Or is that exactly on point of what Trump has run on, particularly in 2016, but then again, this time around? All right. Phone lines are 855-839-1210. All right. Interesting bumper music here. Some three are down on show. 855. 839-1210. You can get on board. So on the story with Vivek, Elon Musk, I'm looking at a story. Next week, the blaze says, "A jury unanimously found cognizant, an outsourcing and IT consulting firm founded in Shana, India, and based in New Jersey, guilty of discriminating against American workers by abusing the H-1B visa program. According to an attorney for the plaintiffs, individuals who were not Indian or South Asian were 8.4 times more likely to be terminated from the bench than individuals who fit the preferred category, the Indian nationals. What's more, South Asian employees were terminated at a 1% rate compared to 27, 20, and 9% for black Hispanic and white employees." Oh, well, I'm sure Vivek Ramaswami would say, "Well, those white, black and Hispanic employees, they were inferior. Toughing up. Get your mom to be a tiger, mom. You're not tough enough here. Really, come on now with this stuff. It's got to stop. It's just got to stop this back and forth on this. Find to have this coalition. I get it. But they don't get to win on this in some kind of bargain. Well, we're going to stop the incursion from Mexico, but we are going to do what we want when it comes to this abusive program. No, that's not what we signed up for to support. Or maybe you think, "Well, what do I care? These are IT workers. That doesn't influence me, et cetera." Well, that's how the other side wins. We're all in this together. Every American worker we care about, we care about all of it, protecting them. That's what it's about. I don't care what the job is. By the way, Henry, you were off last week, but I do stand on this. I'm tired of even hearing about European basketball players. By and large, how many of them are really or have been or will be? All world, et cetera. I don't see it. I know Joe Kicha has won the MVP award, et cetera. That's a different type of European player. He plays pretty tough, given maybe the country, the background. But by and large, their style of play in the NBA, ultimately, it's not going to beat American players. I know there are a little add-on around the edges. Elon Musk brought this up in the conversation saying, "Well, that's what it's about. The engineers will bring it in." No, there's not 50 European players in the NBA that are among the first 75 players. It's not like that. It's a limited number. I get it. You scour the world. We want to win. We're going to do whatever it takes to win. You don't find as many of these guys. Any number of them are suspect to me when it comes to toughness. Do you agree with that, Henry, or no? No, I can't say that guy. I think a lot of Europeans bring over a different type of toughness that we don't necessarily see in the States a lot. I just think they play fundamentally, they play sound basketball. I think a lot of American-born players play a little bit more freewheeling, only focusing on offense. I don't say the Europeans don't either, but they come... Oh, they're among the worst defensive players. They can't play defense. They're too slow. I disagree. I think a lot of them are built sturdy. I think a lot of them are long-ranging players. I think it's changed over the last, I'd say, five or 10 years. One of those things is just where they got that reputation as being soft, can't play. I think that has fueled them into becoming better, more athletic players. You see that coming over a lot in these past few drafts. Someone like... You may not even know who he is. He seems to help Aaron Shengoon. He plays for the Rockets. That guy, he's probably a 6/8th center. He averages 25 and 5, and he's tough as nails. I think that's the new archetype of player that we're going to see coming over from Europe. All right. I trust guys that have grown up, I've said this many... You grow up the way Alan Iverson did, and extraordinary talent. He's going to die. He's going to kill you on a basketball court, is what it comes down to. Yeah. At the end of the day, you do need killers like that. It's my ball, it's my game. I'm going to go win the game. Yeah. I still don't see it on that particular in defense. Oh, man. It's my specialty. I'm not sanctioning that yet. I've got to see more. I don't know that guy per se, but... Yeah. Look him up. Fantastic skill set. I think that guy might win an MVP in his career. Well, one of our MVPs is here, Robert Imbenselen. Thank you. Hey, Robert. Good afternoon. Hey, Dom. Henry, it's good to talk to you guys. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We always talk about the left and how they misconstrued history to twist it to their own political narrative. And a big example of that is the whole Christopher Columbus debacle. And you hear them say, "He enslaved this. He killed that. He decimated that." And it couldn't be further from the truth. The fact of the matter is, Christopher Columbus was probably the only Italian on the ships. They were Spanish ships with Spanish crews, and he had to keep them on the ship at times to stop them from running a wild on the natives. And it's to come keys to doors who came afterwards, who were Spanish, that committed all of the atrocities against the native people. A tie you didn't come over here and colonize anything, a tie you didn't come over here and commit all kinds of atrocities, like the English and the Spanish and the Dutch and the French. Why does Christopher Columbus get such a bad rap? And it's to come up with the help. Hey, I'm Ben Stiller. I'm Adam Scott, and we make a TV show called Severance. On January 17th, Severance is back for season 2 on Apple TV Plus, and we can't wait for you guys to see it. And before the premiere, Ben and I are going to be binging season 1 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, Britt Lauer, Zach Cherry, John Tatarot, 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 2. 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. Yeah, he's the main explorer. He's the guy they can go after to diminish Western civilization. He is among the most three, four, five consequential figures in human history. And their ignorance is causing them to marginalize him all in the effort to advance a political narrative. So with all of this in mind, my headline for the Philadelphia area for the last 25 years was taking Christopher Columbus out of the box. And I wish they would do the same thing to their voters one day. You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. Thank you, Robert. Thank you. Thank you, Robert. Very much. Yeah. I still haven't here on the wall in the Domdome. My piece of that, that George Peketa was good enough to. I never in a million years thought the judge would force them to take down the silly box around Columbus. And nothing has happened. It's there. Everything's fine. You can see it down at Marconi Plaza. No big deal. But just the childishness of it, of going after Columbus, because the mob in Philadelphia wanted to, when we're starting to attack, they didn't do that when the gravy seals were there though, protecting it. All right. Phone lines are 855-839-1210. Now, are we on the cusp of another COVID part two? Public health voices lay the groundwork for a new pandemic that's timing out just to reach President Trump for turning to office. Will they get away with it this time? I'll tell you what that is. And I don't think they'll get away with it. You get in though at 855-839-1210. All right. It is Domdome. Welcome in, 855-839-1210. So you may be in holiday mode one to another over the weekend. What's happening is now because of bird flu. People like Dr. Deborah Birx have surfaced. The doctor that's in the Washington Post, Dr., is it when? Also one of the architects of various shutdowns during COVID has surfaced. And look, we ought to take a look scientifically at each one of these. But are we going to see through bird flu, even some of the incursions with farmers examining cows once a week, some of them are calling for seems like an insignificant thing until you have to go through this. I think we have to be on top of it. And I'm going to be interested to hear what Dr. Marty says when we get him back on again. How he would proceed with this, Dr. Oz. And also Robert Kennedy Jr. But particularly Marty, I have the most faith in out of all those. He's the guy. He's our guy during COVID. I haven't seen him say anything. I don't think he will until after the confirmation hearings, which can't get here quickly enough that we start to move on this. But keep your eye on this again. Would a place like Jersey start to move to shutdown schools? Yeah, they might do anything. Would that be something that some of the Democrats running for governor would want? Probably not, because they're trying to masquerade enough now. They see a change in Jersey, at least more Republicans voting, more minority groups voting, potentially read. So we'll see. But the voices are starting to lay the groundwork in their mind for this new pandemic. And again, it can't be frivolous about this stuff. It can't just be dismissive. But how far do we go, particularly with Biden not doing anything, doing anything here? Marty will be the guy on this. Now he'll be FDA, but I still think he's the guy that I'll be looking at Dr. J, with National Health and NIH from Stanford also. We didn't have him on as much, but he is high quality also. So Trump has different people in charge that have a good track record against COVID. Marty wasn't opposed to the vaccine, but just the fair warning, myocarditis, things of that nature that we talked about. And I think he is a perfect go to figure on this stuff. But isn't it strange we're starting to hear these warnings just as the new administration gets movement and COVID really stopped movement of the Trump administration and some of the bigger things that they were engaged in because of the widespread shutdowns, even though he's the one that pushed and got the vaccine. All right, 855-839-1210, you get a line AT&T and Verizon wireless. All you have to do is just push pound 1210, hit its two on that side question, which is simply some news event might be quirky that happened over the last 25 years Philadelphia area. On Twitter, somebody has the Jason Kelsey speech, yes. That was pretty wild. Some of the stuff that he said, particularly, you know, a critique of each eagle, Lane Johnson, can't stay off the juice. Who says something like that in the middle of that? The outfit, the whole thing, yeah, we get it, but pretty wild stuff to put it mildly. Here is over the weekend and we'll try to get them on soon. Curtis Sleehwa surfaced again. We now have the guardian angels back in the subways. Next time I'm on, I get a rundown, how many times did they actually intervene? Is their presence there really going to calm some of the craziness we've seen, like the guy that was set on fire in an escalator, what was it, was it Friday, I want to say, 67 year old man set on fire again? And just the, a lot of it is homeless slash illegal immigrants involved in this stuff. We know the guy was here illegally have been deported once that allegedly set on fire, the woman on the Brooklyn subway train. It just is an endless cycle of this stuff and the crackdown will come on this. This is cut seven, here's the New York City Department of Corrections saying they are not, listen to this, going to honor an ice container for the migrant, the illegal immigrant who apparently set the woman on fire cut seven. So ICE has issued a new immigration detainer for Zapetta, but says the New York City Department of Corrections has indicated they will not honor the request. The indictment against Zapetta will be officially unsealed on January 7th when we expect him to appear back in court as for the woman killed. The district attorney says investigators are making progress using advanced fingerprinting and DNA evidence to confirm her identity. All right, so they're not going to honor the ice detainer on this, meaning somehow or another depending on what happens here he could be walking out the door. He is here illegally, we know that he was deported once he came back in the Biden years had contacted him, let him go. So there's going to be a real showdown, but I believe Chicago will be where this starts. And have you noticed that the mayor of Philadelphia, despite increasing pressure, has not come out full bore saying that she is going to push back on Trump or the administration or what they do here in Philadelphia? I don't know that we're going to see anything in the Philadelphia area for a while, but I'm thinking even some suburban areas there could be action because they've grown to be known as areas where you might find people that are here illegally. Jersey, will they go after that first? Apparently not. Looks like Chicago, maybe L.A., New York, the usual areas, but Chicago first and that's smart. Right down the belly of the beast with this, Denver, they're going to go after that guy, the mayor there. They even tell them not only not to help, but to resist. We'll see if he does that. If he tries to get in the way of federal law on this and Tom Holman. And they're going to need quite a space for people they take in until they're officially deported. All right, phone lines are 855-839-1210, AT&T and Verizon wireless. All that you need to do is just push pound 1210. So we'll keep our eye on this bird flu thing as they try to ratchet it up. I'm not saying it's not potentially a problem. We've seen it before. Is this more serious? But again, any sniff of what we've been through with COVID, putting that into play, is not going to fly. I mean, COVID has just damaged so many institutions. Let's hope Dr. Marty, Dr. Oz, Dr. J from Stanford and assorted others. We'll be able to restore some of that in the public health sphere. And with RFK Jr., well, we've already talked about some of the things that he's going to bring to the table on the food issue, that's the strongest suit. I'm still adamantly against taking so-called drug ads off TV. I think it's a freedom speech issue. I think people ought to be able to see it. Now, if you want to beef up, I have round and round with Dan last week on this. If you want to beef up the side effects, okay, and even have more space that they have to add, or even put them more early on, something like that, okay, I think people ought to know about these things though. I don't want to go to their doctor and ask, well, that's a doctor's job to sort this out. He doesn't just have to say yes, and there's going to be a big battle between Dr. Oz who apparently favors Ozempic and RFK Jr., who does not. I'm on the RFK Jr. side on this. I know what the argument is. Well, if you use this, you're not going to be overweight. That's going to cut down a lot of... I just think it's another excuse mechanism here, and I think you're going to see quite a battle over that. And I think Dr. Oz, in the position he's in, is going to have a pretty powerful perch there. All right, phone lines are 855-839-1210, AT&T, and for Rise and Wireless, you just push pound 1210. All right, it is Dom Time. Welcome in 855-839-1210. Still a chance to jump on board before Scott Presler joins us. Hit us with something that was a news story, filled up the area as we count down the end of the year, over the last 25 years. Can be quirky, can be really impactful. I let off, I took off the board. Let's see, the hitch bot beheaded, Krasner election big deal, suburbs going blue, Philly Jesus, and Henry's was the chicken guy who seems to have been off chicken now, probably after... Yeah, you might get a little sick of it. The I-95 thing was a shiny moment. Shapiro was smart with sort of papering it over, showing the construction on the stream. Only in Philadelphia people watch that. They like to watch it. They had it on, kind of soothing in the background. I'll take off the board now. No one said the 2017 Super Bowl win, certainly, but there have been any number of things that have happened that are major. Think in the entire area is what we're looking for. It's something that happened and we tried mightily to get this guy on. It was like getting the president on. Headline today, Jonathan Haidt won the fight against smartphones in schools. This is a guy's book that talked about scientifically what's happened to kids as far as just the overwhelming amount of time spent on their phone, social media, all of that, and Apple released the first iPhone. He writes in the summer of 2007, it wasn't until May, 2023, that Florida Governor Ron Tassanis became the first state leader in the nation to ban phones in K-12 public schools. After Governor Sanders read Hyatt's book this year, she sent a copy to every legislator in the state, as well as all 49 other U.S. governors urging them to ensure phone-free schools. So we're starting to do that, but doing it is in our area, and it's going to be interesting to see in 2025, I think Cherry Hill was one that I remember how this has worked out. I mean, everybody knows it, but securing the phone, access to it because of all the things that can happen, difficult battle, but you're seeing more and more schools do it. Finally, this guy broke through. This guy broke through with it in a way that few others have. Now with just about things like TikTok, all kinds of things that have proliferated. The battle still ongoing, but Jonathan Hyatt won the fight on this, and you're going to see more and more schools engage in this. They are going to then study this, and we'll start to see by mid-year how it turned out that other schools are going to do it next year, and on and on and on it will go. That makes perfect sense, but again, it's a slow, plotting battle to engage in this. All right, hit us on the side question. Also, Scott Prezler on Deck Circle, and Scott has some great new Pennsylvania registration numbers as he gets ready to head to Jersey. I can tell you behind the scenes a lot of big doings ready for Scott Prezler. Let's go to Mark and Philly. Mark, you're in on talk radio 12-10. Hey, Mark. Hey, I just want to start off. You looked handsome yesterday morning when you're a New Year's silver bow tie. Oh, well, thank you. It was supposed to be black tie, but that's all that I had left there, and you would not know, Mark, what it took for me to get into that tuxedo after not wearing it for four years. Oh, my God. I don't know how women do it. I felt like I was stuffed in there. I was ready to burst at any moment. Yeah. That's funny. Yeah. Hey, so my news for the past 25 years just happened this year. It's the couple that parked along the scoocle and they were doing it and they banged it out of gear and it rolled into the scoocle. Yes. I think I know the bridge. I think it was off of the drive, right? Yeah. I think so. Yeah. We're right off the Kelly drive. Yeah. Right off the Kelly drive. Yeah. Sure. So the whole Elon and the VAC thing is like, I, Bob Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, drew my vote over to Trump. I voted for Biden last time. Hopefully, we talked about before, but the whole the VAC and Elon thing is such, it's so disgusting that they dare talk about the American people that way. It's like, it's like, why doesn't he long go back to South Africa and clean up his like, you can't even like walk down the street without getting mugged or like the VAC country, India, you can't even walk down without like, it's a mess. It's like the 30th country and they're talking about us like, why did they come here? And then, you know what I mean? I couldn't agree more. Look, they want to make a point about HB one. It needs to be reformed. No, it doesn't. And it needs to be reformed to almost shut it down and the VACs were so over the top. You know what he thought, Mark? We do this. You hear him talk radio. People call in the school district sucks and we get that and we go after that. He went so many bridges farther though. I don't know what happened to him in high school as far as, you know, quarterbacks and prom queens and all, but that's ridiculous. We have room for everybody and I mean, these two guys, these two guys are going to be trouble for Trump. They use Trump as a Trojan horse to get all these knuckleheads in here and I hope I pray as strong as maga, quote, maga is that they like straighten it out because if they don't catch it early, Elon, Elon is going to have things on big time. I mean, you know, they're working together. Yeah, I think Trump is the one who will cut it off at some point. Thank you, Mark. Great stuff. Yeah, that couple, plunging into the river off Kelly drive. Yes, that is pretty good. It could have happened other places, but it seems to happen more here. Very good call it. Yeah, and the vacant Elon Musk, look, it's a big tent. They're still inside the tent, but they don't get their way on this. The grand bargain seems to be subtly all right, we're going to help shut down the border. We're being inundated, but in return, we want all these quote geniuses, many of whom are not. That's America, after all, I may ask tomorrow, yeah, I might do this because of this conversation. I might ask, who truly comes to mind when you think of a genius? And I might take off a whole bunch of them. Okay. Obviously, we do still say, or do we say he's no Elon Musk? I don't think so. I think we say he's no Einstein at this point still. I don't know. Over and under. He's no Elon Musk. Is Elon Musk a genius? Yeah, I would say so. He's no Einstein though. All right. Yeah, that'll, that, that phrasing for him, that'll have to come around, I think long after he's like past. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think we're going to getting off Einstein for a reason. It's a hair. Look at the hair. That tells you right there. Yeah, exactly. Might be thinking of geniuses. That might appear to be the side question tomorrow, but this man is a genius in incrementalism. He gets in there and day after day after day, slugs it out. Scott Prezler is next with some big updates here on Talk Radio 1210. Tom Cheerdano, weekdays 9 till noon, on talk radio 1210, WPHD, Tom Cheerdano, on talk radio 1210, WPHD, on Philadelphia's talk radio 1210, WPHD, WPHD, WGLE, HD3, Philadelphia, from material for those studios where relationships matter, always live on the free odyssey app. It's dumb time now, Tom Cheerdano. All right, welcome in, I noticed on Twitter the last couple of days, somebody who was there in Kensington or Harrogate put up, do you remember Scott and he did when he came here with a good friend of ours, registering people to vote on a somewhat rainy day and that woman from the main line, can I do this and glad when? That was surreal, I'm thinking, oh my goodness, this is electric and this last year has proven that to be the case, but I still believe the best is yet to come, making his weekly house called our own Scott Prezler here on Talk Radio 1210. Hey Scott, that's a heck of a quilt that you have up on your Twitter. Thank you, well listen, it's two o'clock, so there's no other place I would be rather than Tom Geordano, which was 10 talk radio. Yeah, my ma, she's a quilter and so she took some of those viral memes that have been shared on social media and she made me a couple pillows and it was just such a thoughtful Christmas gift that I'm gonna bring with me back to my Pennsylvania home to put somewhere in the house. Yeah, well it was a very fabio combined with the Revolutionary War, it was quite a production. So Scott, what we look forward to each week and we're still on Pennsylvania, also we have the Supreme Court races, but turning Pennsylvania into at least not a swing state, at least slightly red, what can you tell us today? Well we got brand new voter registration data today that we usually get around 10, which is why I go along with you. And the lead from the Democrats a week ago was that 216,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans and the Pennsylvania Department of State did another purge, so they've now done three consecutive purges week by week and the Democrats have lost more voters than Republicans every single time. So that advantage is now down to 214,000 and to anybody saying, oh my gosh, you know, Dom, Scott, 214,000, that's still so many registered Democrats, you know, how can we possibly win in Pennsylvania? Well, hey, babes, we just won and Donald Trump won with more than 120,000 more votes despite that advantage. And number two, I would like to remind the listener at home that back in 2016, that advantage was over 900,000. So we have made such huge progress in just eight years time. And if you remove inactive voters, meaning that people that haven't voted or registered in a while, that number goes from 214,000 down to 120,000 Pennsylvania's quickly becoming a potentially red state. Yeah, I would say certainly by the time of the next national, maybe even by the midterms, it's going to be relatively close. And that's all good. Scott, what can you tell us about your last time we talked about, and I happened to talk to Paula Scanlon, I think before you, and I see in New Jersey, you've added Asian population in certain parts of the state, Korean churches, things of that nature. And these are our voters, I think, philosophically in a lot of ways, and they may either be inactive or they voted for a Democrat somehow or another along the way. What can you tell us about that? Well, this election in 2025, whether it's in Pennsylvania for Supreme Court or New Jersey for the gubernatorial election, yes, continued persuasion is important, showing up in communities that the Republican Party has neglected for so long, like Tenzington, like Terogate and Philly, but ultimately, this is going to be a base turnout election. And in addition to the Asian American community, I think one thing that's very interesting is since election day, there have been multiple elected officials across the country that have fled from Democrat to Republican. Now, whether they share our ideology and are not just doing it for a political reason is not really the case where I'm going with this, is if you look at three of those people in particular, one is a representative of Valdez out of Florida, clearly she's a member of the Hispanic community. Then you have a judge in South Texas on the border, another member of the Hispanic community that flipped the Republican. And furthermore, a mayor in California also said that Democrats are just moving away from faith, family, freedom. And so I think it shows that especially when we're looking at areas of New Jersey, when dealing with the minority communities, you're going to hear a county called Paseic County mentioned a lot, because this is a county, correct me if I'm wrong, it hasn't voted Republicans since 1988, something outrageous like that, and it has a lot of the majority Hispanic population. And so ultimately, my message is as Republicans, let's continue to bring our conservative message everywhere, including cities, including areas that are quote unquote blue. But ultimately, this is turnout. If every Trump supporter that voted in 2024 comes out in Pennsylvania, you'll defeat three Democrat Supreme Court justices. And if you come out in New Jersey, you will flip the New Jersey governor's ship from blue to red. And I think Trump knows this and he really gets charged up with New Jersey, New York, because his home base where he grew up, the idea that he would be the force, once we have the Republican primary, I don't know, he may endorse in it, to turn Jersey red again with the governor's office. That's the biggest political story of the year. Well, a couple of things. So I've been going, I go to Starbucks to get my coffee here in Virginia. Don't hate me. I know. My dear beloved conservative people, but two times, one time I went through the drive-through and there's this kid who's ringing me up and I pull up to the window and he's like, you know, this might sound like a weird question, or you Scott Pressler. I don't know, he was like, you look a lot like Scott Presser. And I was like, well, I am. And I was like, did you vote in the election? And he wanted a picture with me, yada, yada. And he was like, I didn't vote. And like my heart sank. And I was like, wait, why didn't you vote? And he was like, I'm 17. And I was like, oh my gosh, well, listen, with your permission, may I come back after January with a voter registration form? And I would love to register you to vote, because you can register as long as your 17 turn 18 before the Virginia gubernatorial election. Now, I met Starbucks again the other day meeting a volunteer that wants to register voters. And the barista there, I go in wearing a shirt that says America first. And the kid at the counter goes, I like your shirt. So he was with some employees and I didn't want to put him in a bad situation. So I pulled him aside later and was just like, hey, are you registered? And he goes, no. I was like, you know, may I ask a lawyer or he's like, I'm 18. I said, oh my gosh, if you like my shirt that says America first, you need to register to vote. And so I taught him how to do it. But the moral of the story is, listen, guys, I just had these interactions with two young men that are agreeing with our movement. But for whatever reason, we're registered. And so A, you all should be very excited that young people are embracing the Republican Party and we're going to have this new generation of young people that can run for office and that are ultimately going to put people like Donald Trump into office. So whatever you do for the next year, well, four years is you always ask somebody, are you registered to vote at your current address? Check your voter registration. Make sure that you have a plan to vote either on April 1st in Wisconsin for the Supreme Court, or on Tuesday, November 4th, 2025 for Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Yeah, without a doubt, Scott, that is amazing too. It's got to feel pretty good too. Are you Scott Pressler? It's got to feel great. Oh, well, here's the best, well, here's the best part. The kid, the 18 year old, he even was like, oh, yeah, I think I saw something about you dealing with the Amish. And it's like my, my, my gosh, I'm sure my mind was like blown it. Oh, God. Because, you know, I, I'm still staying grounded and I'm staying focused on my mission at hand, but it shows you how important radio is. It shows you how important it is that we are on social media, whether that be X or TikTok, that those messages do reach the populace. Yeah, with, with that a doubt, and Scott, the Virginia race will be the other big story for listeners. Is it win some Sears that will be the nominee? Is there a tough primary coming up? Well, it will likely unless somebody else enters the race, she is our current lieutenant governor and Jason Meares, who is the Republican attorney general, he has already stated that he wants to run for AG and keep that office. And so I would say probably the presumptive nominee is win some Sears right now about the Democrats, we are, we are given a beautiful gift because Bobby Scott, who is a Congressman down in Norfolk, Norfolk is the Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach area, and it's definitely majority minority. I hear he is going to challenge in primary Congress member Abigail Spanberger, who is a former CIA agent, by the way, Democrat. And this is a gift because the Democrats are going to have a very brutal battle, and it's going to be interesting to see how much of Hampton Roads or perhaps even Richmond supports Bobby Scott over Spanberger, and we could see that that could help cause a schism within Virginia Democrats. Boy, I thought that guy was having trouble staying in Congress, you know, when he's coming in to vote in a wheelchair and how are you people not to be able to cover that. So wow. Well, and just it, this is a big opportunity, you know, Governor Youngkin is term limited. The way that it goes in Virginia is you cannot run consecutive terms. So after whoever is governor for this next four years, he could run again or he could run for Senate, but the last thing that I think is very important, I don't have the names in my head right now, but there are two special elections that are going on on January 7th in Virginia. And my very limited understanding is there's a state House of Delegates race, the House of Repot, they call it Delegate, and there's a state Senate race. And basically, if we are able to win these special elections in Northern Virginia, then it will give Republicans the ability that if they, if Winston Sears is the tie-breaking vote as the lieutenant governor for overseeing the Senate, for example, then we could see Governor Glenn Youngkin having a Republican legislature to pass legislation. And so I will get more of those details on social media, but you know, this shows the importance of just because it's the new year doesn't mean that Republicans can stay home. We must continue to vote in every single election. Absolutely, Scott, thank you so much for that now. To help out with the movement as we gear up for New Jersey, the Wisconsin races, the Pennsylvania races, how can people help and where do they go? Well, number one, here's what I would like. We get new voter registration data for New Jersey on January 2nd. And if you guys want to scare the pants off the Democrats, then I really encourage you type into the Internet after you're done listening to DOM, New Jersey online voter registration. I want you to check your status. I want you to please consider registering to vote as a Republican. So, on January 2nd, we'll start off the new year with amazing data to show how to the right we can get New Jersey to go. And if you would like to support my work financially, my organization is called Early Vote Action. We have already hired staff like the wonderful Paula Scanlon in New Jersey. She's already on the ground and you can support us at earlyvoteaction.com. Great stuff, Scott. Thank you so much and we'll look forward to seeing what happens on January 2nd. That's right. And every Monday at 2 o'clock. Thank you so much for having me, Don. Well, Scott, thank you, New Year. Thank you. We enjoy it. Look forward to it. You've had a great year this year, best as yet to come. Thank you, Scott. Thank you. Bye. Scott Prezler here on Talk Radio 1210. Your reaction? Yeah. January 2nd. We'll see the Jersey numbers. We'll see this unfolding story. And he's right in the center of it and he's making Wildwood his capital this coming summer. And I'm going to be meeting with some people that want to support him and Scott. So I'll let you know on that, at least what I can say about it, in January. It's going to be big in Jersey. Just need the right candidate. That's what the vetting is. It's going to be a fierce primary. That's okay. You have four candidates on the Republican side, Democrats trying to say they're moderate, they're not, that are running on the other side, including the guy we've talked about, Godheimer, who apparently can't tell the truth on his Spotify listening. Oh, man, he has to put down five springsteen songs. All right, 855-839-1210. That's how you get in. Jump in. Hit us on the side question today. Give us a new story, weird, silly, impactful, over the last 25 years, here as we count down the end of the year in the Philadelphia area. Name could go into the hat at 2.30. We're going to talk with the guy. We haven't talked with them in a little bit from the college fix and two big things. What were some of the wilder college stories, university stories of this year? Some of the things we've seen, nobody does it better than them. They had, I'm looking at this Cornell pole dancing club host trainings for trans and plus-size students. There you go. That's what you want to see in the Ivy League, right? Is that a class or is that just the extracurricular? Host trainings for trans and plus-size students. I think it's a class. Interesting. Yeah. Why not? It's already, how does Cornell have a pole dancing club? They get funded by them to be an official club in all. In addition to that, a new study out by these two professors that say liberals aren't funny anymore and that helped Trump win. Is that true? We'll talk with Dave Huber about that at around 2.30. But jump in now. Scott Prezler, it just doesn't get any better. I couldn't be happier for his success. It is an incredible story and it's only going to get bigger when we get to New Jersey. The other side says, "Well, why don't we have a Scott Prezler? Yeah. Who would that be?" 855-839-1210, that's how you get in with Tom on Talk Radio 1210. All right. Mark that down though, January 2nd. We'll have those numbers from Jersey and I expect to see a big shake up and each Monday at 2 o'clock as we get the Pennsylvania numbers and then Jersey on top of it. We'll have Scott Prezler here to break it down and I'm telling you, there is not just a lot of energy but also I think donations funding with Scott in Jersey. And as that happens, people that really desperately want to win and see this is a great opportunity. I heard those stories, just random people, "Hey, can I ask you your register?" This is what he does. And then they follow up when we get near election time, of course. It's very doable. I don't know that I could say given Jersey's ideology but I would put it even money then that we're going to have a Republican governor. I couldn't say, "Oh, yeah, it's definite" because you got the northern part of Jersey. You have the cheating element. Phil Murphy got elected again the second time. Go figure, right? But I would place it even money or better the arrow pointing, jump ball but the arrow pointing to our side with Scott Prezler in there. And already people on the ground like Paula Scanlon. And I haven't talked about the drones today. Our buddy Robin in Ocean City, the whales sent me some pretty compelling footage indicating this looked like some kind of sophisticated drone that we still don't know anything about over the weekend. Still ongoing. And it's predicted we're into holidays, people don't care. I don't know how many. I don't see much news coverage. They've gotten tired of it. Have we solved it? What is it? No, we have not. So I hope to get Jeff Andrew on this week because on Friday we had the showdown that President Trump came out today on True Social, wholeheartedly calling for the retention of Mike Johnson as speaker, okay? We've already seen at least three Republicans beyond record, they're not going to support him. So here we go. We're Jim Jordan, and I think Johnson's in a really tough spot. But if Trump is endorsing him knowing what he knows and what can be done going forward, that may carry today. What we don't want are 20 votes over a week or something around this whole thing. So that's going to be a big day Friday. Let's go to the era of Tack Coney, Earl on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Earl. Welcome in. Hey, Tom, yeah, this whole H1B visa thing is just really, really confusing and convoluted. And it's not just one thing. Some of it is wages, some of it is experience, some of it is work ethic. There's just so many facets to it that you can't just pin down just one thing to what it is. Well, in the work ethic part, you know, should Americans have to exhibit a work ethic? A people coming from a third world country that are afraid they'll be deported if they don't show something that's superhuman. That's what I said. That's why it makes it so confusing because we were on a company, we tried to hire people and just trying to get people to work and have, you know, pride in their work and responsibility for their job. But then again, when you bring one thing that we find in the construction industry, at least I personally have, there are good workers that come in. But I find that a lot of them don't have the quality that the American worker does. We do an awful lot of repairs for work that are done by foreign contractors that we have to go and fix because it looks nice. But when you go and you look at it, the quality is not there. And you know, that's another thing they have to worry about, you know, it may look nice and pretty and shiny. But you know, are we getting the quality that we can get, you know, from people that live here, that have, you know, some sort of grounding in the country, that have a concern that, you know, want the country to be great and they build what's great, you know, for the country. You know, if you go and you do work for about 12, 10, you go and you do the best quality that you have. If you go and you go and do work for another station somewhere, no offense, but you know, you're not really that committed to making sure that that station does as well. And you know, there's always the possibility that you may not produce as much as you would that you do for your home station. You know, this isn't, you know, this is just a generalization, but you understand what I'm saying where they don't have any grounding here that they want to build up and do the best they can. They just want to, you know, get through, you know, finish the job and move on and, you know, not have a legacy that, you know, a local worker would do. Right. It's this is like an economic zone rather than dear to our hearts, a country and the buy-in of that. I don't know that a lot of these people are buying into that at all. Your point is well taken, Earl. What's your side today? My side question is from March, 2014, when Steve Keeley got run over by a snowplow. Well, did he get run over, but he got hit an enormous amount of it, really dumb huge. And he never lost his footing, never, and didn't stop mid-sentence and kept his composure the whole time and finished the story. Absolutely. Even though his hair was wrecked, he's a big hair guy too, I think. Steve Keeley on that shot and made national news. Without a doubt, let's go to Drew in Upper Darby. Hey, Drew. Hey, Tom, thanks for having me. Happy New Year to you. Happy New Year. Thank you, sir. I appreciate that. You know, Tom, this famous story that happened and sold off, it was big. It was international for the wrong reasons. And it's still tough for a lot of people to wrap their minds around it. And that was the actor-guys Nell with the babies in the office. And it was really tough to take, because my wife is like, she's really, she's Puerto Rican this time, and she's very holy, goes to church. Man, she was upset for a long time. Well, and the interview that he got caught, Drew, mainly was apparently selling drugs. Let them just take a look at them. Other than that, what he was doing would have gone on. And again, our friends in the pro-choice side, you would think they'd want to ferret out a guy like this, because he does damage to what they believe. And you're right, Tom, and the being dignits from the pro-choice side was like, oh, you know what? It's like, yeah, you're going to get someone like that every now and then, but like, it was a little big deal, but it was so horrific that there's just no way to excuse it. So I appreciate everything, Tom. Thank you, Drew. That is a great one. Yeah. I think that's within the last 25 years. I want to say it might even be within 20, maybe even 15 or so. Yeah. And you know the scandal there was, and our buddy J.D. Malane Bucks County Courier Times broke that, particularly on Twitter, you had all these seats in the courtroom for the guy's nail case, set aside USA Today, New York Times, Washington Post, yada, yada, yada, yada. Their seat on the bench there in court, and none of them would show up. Nope. I had on somebody from Fox who did show up and cover it, talking about that, how and why didn't they, I mean, it's an unbelievable story. They didn't like the content of it. They didn't like where it goes, Joe in accident, Joe, talk radio 1210. Hey, Joe. Oh, yes. Hello, Dom. Good afternoon and happy New Year. Same to you, Joe. Thank you. Thank you. Um, my Philadelphia story is a visit that Pope Francis paid to the St. Peter's and Paul Cathedral in downtown Philadelphia in 2014. Yes, it was enormous Joe. I covered it was inside the fencing there and, uh, very, very enormous to turn out in Philadelphia from around the world. Good one, Joe. Yeah, that is a big visit. I think Pope John Paul's visit. I don't know if it was equal or not, you know, and Pope Francis. What a disaster. Could the next pope be even farther, further to the left? Yeah, that's what they're talking about. Have you, uh, you've seen the new movie, uh, Conclave about a look in the book? No, we're seeing it tomorrow, strangely in New Year's Eve. Have you seen it? I have. Yeah, I watched it the other week. Okay. What do you think? I, I thought it was a good movie. Yeah. I think, uh, it kind of takes for granted that you know what they're talking about when it comes to electing the pope and then what they're talking about at the end because everyone's got dirt on them. That's basically what the, you know, Ralph Fiens character just tries to find the dirt behind every, you know, cardinal that is trying to be the pope. Uh, and I don't want to, I don't want to spoil anything, but the dirt at the end, it just kind of is a something I want to get, I want to get your reaction to it, uh, afterwards. Okay. I would love to, love to see this later this week. Yeah, we're going to see it. They would sold out where we went and, uh, we didn't think it would be. So they gave us popcorn in a soda each. Oh, nice. Yeah. That'll work. Back there, uh, tomorrow, uh, for an early shot, then over to, we always go almost on New Year's Eve to gallows, uh, Jim Harvey over there in Northeast Philadelphia. You can't do any better than that. Consider them. Uh, so yeah, Henry, um, I mean, I've talked about this for years, just this is as bad or worse than American politics. Oh, yeah. And they, they make it out to be because there's like a far right pope, like Stanley is like a far left pope, there's all, and everyone just falls like somewhere in between. And it's very interesting to see like, you know, why, you know, why people go for this person, why they go for another one. It's a big mess, but it's a fun movie. Yeah. Uh, I'll tell you whether I think it's too anti to Catholic church, but for me, it's hard to be too anti to Catholic church and it's because they're fraudulent and I don't think it's holy or anything else. It's a political game here. Oh, and they, they make it to be like a political movie. Like then none of them are no, no one in the race for that, the, the papacy is like a good person essentially. Yeah. Well, except I don't want to say it. I don't want to say it. I don't want to say it. Okay. All right. Good review. I'll give you mine after we see it tomorrow. Coming up. I'm going to talk with Dave Huber. We love the college fix. How many bizarre stories do we get from them? These people cover what goes on in American colleges. I will have to ask the Cornell pole dancing club holding trainings for trends and plus size students. Ah, yeah. Why not? What are some of the stories that happened this year? Are we seeing any kind of conservative pushback and they have a big piece. These profs get it. Liberals aren't funny anymore and that helped Trump win all straight ahead on talk radio 1210. Okay. It is Tom. Time. Welcome in. We'll get the lightning round. Get your final answer today on the side question. Dave Huber is the associate editor of one of the greatest staples of talk radio college fix and at the college fix, I give you kind of a smattering just a recent column I'm looking at of some of their stories. Are we going to see any kind of pushback on DEI or things of that nature? Even locally, we've had Dave or one of his colleagues on to talk about Temple or Villanova. Sometimes pretty outrageous and big stories. Let's go to Dave here on talk radio 1210. Hey, Dave, thanks for another great year of the Follies of Colleges. All right. Thanks very much. I'm here. Thanks for having me on. Been a long time fan. Yeah. Well, thank you, Dave. Are you guys local? Are you in the Philadelphia area? I personally am. I'm down near the University of Delaware, but I mean, the are editors and our student writers are all across the country. So this year, what are some of you? I haven't seen a compilation. Maybe I missed it. But give me some of the either weirder or something of a particular genre on colleges that you think fits the mission of college fix of exposing this. Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, obviously with the presidential election, one thing I found particularly interesting as well, because I certainly remember back in '16 when it was a much bigger surprise that Donald Trump won the election was how utterly devastated, you know, the college students were at Trump's victory. It was bad enough in '16. I would say equally as bad this year, maybe even a little bit worse, especially some of the higher end schools like the IVs, including Penn, where they had to, you know, they had to have various ways of expressing their anguish, you know, they had like cry-ins and, you know, powwows together where they could, you know, they had coloring books and that pets to pet. So that was, you know, obviously that took place last month. Our editor-in-chief, Jen Kobani, did compile our most popular articles and stories from each month. Another one from February was a professor at UCLA who had been suspended for, he was refusing to grade more leniently black students, sued for 19 million, was supposed to go to trial earlier this year, although it has been postponed until this coming year. So we'll be keeping an eye on that one. In March, George Mason professor said that marriage, the concept of marriage, it actually promotes white supremacy because the government coerces its citizens to enter into an institution that's built upon a white heteropatriarchal supremacy. Oh my God. Yeah. I'll give you one of my number one and I think you guys wrote about it. I saw it in General Press '02 and that is that Brown University, I think it is, has, what is it, a $35, $37 million deficit? With what they charge and the endowment, et cetera, which I think they're tapping into, I read the breakdown though of how they could have that kind of deficit, you really got to work at it. If you have a big, obviously, like college and you can't make money with what you're charging. No, you're absolutely right. I mean, it really defies reason when you see, I remember when, I was Matt Lamb or other associate editor had written that, when he put that for it, it was like, you know, my first policy, you have to be kidding me. Well, Dom, one thing I do remember too, is you were a teacher, if I remember correctly. Yes. Yes. I'm a prior teacher and one of our other stories is on a more positive vein, is that, like, Generation Z, Gen Z students are starting to realize that going to college really might not be all, it's, you know, cranked up the day because if you go into a trade, you can actually make some really good money nowadays and more people are actually realizing that. I actually have a few of my former students that are in the trades and they're doing extremely well. They're getting more than many colleges, educated individuals that I know. Dave, any food? Yeah. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Now go ahead. Anything local, you know, the one time I remember a college fix, it was something incredibly serious. It was about Villanova. Students complaining because police were doing the run or carrying a flag, you know, all these groups were for some special Olympics and it had the thin blue line on it and it blew up and you guys had it first, unbelievable coverage around it. Just something hard to believe that the police were trying to do the right thing, raise funds and that Villanova went down this path. And Dave isn't a truism because you guys do it every day. It's the colleges that make it into talk radio that we least suspect of this stuff. Yeah, Penn, Berkeley, you know, you name it, but it could be any college USA where they go off the rails at times. Yeah, I mean, you're absolutely right. I mean, when I was reading, you know, about that and one of the stuff that's been going on at Penn, especially with the Israel Hamas war going on, some of the stuff that comes out of there, I mean, I mean, I just can't, I really cannot imagine being a Jewish student at some of the, especially the Ivy's. The Ivy's are among the worst where a lot of the shenanigans goes on. And I mean, matter of fact, I was just, I was part of a story working on a story this past weekend where they were Swarthmore, Swarthmore College, nearby, they were students were complaining about that they were like facing charges for using a bullhorn, like, you know, like in people's ears and they had, they complain, actually, if this was in the inquire, I believe, and they were complaining that they might facing charges like, oh, you know, they're very skeptical that 105 decibels could actually cause hearing damage, whereas, you know, this is the same group. And no matter of fact, the same article, one of the sympathetic professors just walked more to these anti-Israel activists, also complained at the same time, they'll grant that they're skeptical about a bullhorn, possibly causing physical damage, but then she complained that she had once, or had been called a terrorist a few times, and she was upset that the person that said that didn't face harsher sanctions. There you go. That's, that's so typical. Now this is a story out there today, you know, we're trying to get all the details on. Guy's pretty good at Jewish student formerly at Penn, I believe, that the, a librarian there at the school, I believe at the law school, allegedly, on the Facebook page, put "I heart, I love Hamas." Yes, I saw that on, I saw that on Twitter, and yeah, I mean, that's just another perfect example. And I mean, no grant, and I, I'm a very, you know, fire, the foundation for individual rights and expression. It's a Philadelphia-based organization, and I'm, you know, nine times out of 10, I agree with them, and, you know, it, you know, I see that, you know, if this one, they're personal and not part of their, you know, part of their professional duties, I mean, I want to give as much leeway as possible, but what just gets me is that these people have no sense of the quorum and professionalism. I mean, I would, you know, when I was in, when I was teaching, I would never, ever consider like putting anything remotely like that, or even just like, you know, that might be a little like tasteless in a humorous vein, like a meme or something, I would never put that up there while I was teaching. And even if I, when I had my, you know, only my friends could see what I post, I was still very cautious about that. I just don't, I don't know. It's all different. Yeah, particularly something. This egregious. I mean, we agree then, maybe, maybe it wasn't 2024. What would you say the biggest story was, was it the anti-Semitic stuff, or was that more of the previous year? It's definitely, since that, you know, occurred late last year, I mean, the war, you know, started late last year, definitely a lot of that stuff continued into this year. So yeah, I would say that would have to be in the top three. So much is still going on with regards to that. I mean, it's tied down a little bit, but again, with the sophomore case, either still after effects, you know, coming through, you know, where the care of the Council on American Islamic Relations, you know, they, they fought a complaint against war more previously, say they were being, you know, Islamic public actions and not treating, you know, protesters, you know, equally and they're up in the Annie on, on not restricting ways to express their disagreements with Israel, et cetera. But, Dave, I would tell listeners to a great piece just on December 28th that you covered and posted. These profs get it, liberals aren't funny anymore, and that helped Trump win. It's two college professors. I don't know that they needed a vast study to get that, but they make the point here that the cutting edge comedy now is more to the right. We saw that during the election cycle by making political arguments through jokes. The other side can't joke about that stuff too much. Bill Maher is funny, but he's one of the people attacking the progressivism of the Democrat party. Oh, precisely. Yeah. Actually, that was my piece. Yeah. It was the final weekend piece. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, that's all that. And again, I mean, you look at, well, Greg Dutfeld on Fox News, you routinely, he beats the big three. I mean, I can't even remember the last time I've tuned in to any of the big three network. I mean, the only one I can even marginally stomach is Jimmy Fallon, because it was all Saturday live days, and he still carries a little bit of that over into his stuff. But Colbert and Kimmel are just absolutely ill-watchable. There's no comedy. It's all preaching. Gutfeld and then Jimmy Fallon, who's, you know, he's rising up. And who, and he has our friend Richard Yolian quite a bit too. Exactly. And he's always a perfect combination of, you know, humor and politics. Yeah. Exactly. Right. Yep. No, you're on it, Dave. Pretty in the piece, December 28th, you can find it. Where do people go for college fix? It's thecollegefix.com. And I say most of our, most of our highlighted articles are from college students across the country that our other editors primarily work with. Our, one of the things we do is help, you know, help them, you know, get through college. If those that are interested in journalism, and then we look to help place them in, in conservative media outlets. And we've, so far, we have pretty darn good track record and, you know, a lot of people stick with us. It's a great site. Thecollegefix.com. Dave, happy new year. Anytime you have something, we'd love to hear from you guys. Absolutely. I appreciate it very much. Great talking to you. Thank you very much. Dave Huber here on Talk Radio 1210. It's a lightning round. Next, I see some good ones people have been saving up. We'll see if we get a winner 855-839-1210. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us a lightning round. That is right. We've got some great ones lined up. You can be one too, you know, into the year shows looking back over the year where I decided to make it 25 years, we're on the tomorrow night, we'll be hitting 2025. Something Philadelphia area of story. Think of all the wild stuff. Could be serious. Could be funny. It could be a lot. I don't know if this one of Gary has happened in the last 25 years. I know I talked about it unbelievably, so I think it did though. Gary in Newtown on Talk Radio 1210. Gary, welcome in. What do you have, Gary? Well, it was 3 years and 3 weeks ago at 3.30 in the afternoon at the corner, 15th in Spring Garden when 3 men robbed the CDS, left the CDS, 1 went to the bold seats of shop, went in, tried to rob them, 14 year old, pulled the gun, shoots the man in the face, police followed us to the blood trail all the way to the septus station of Broad Spring Garden, and he died. Yeah, and he was protecting his mom among other things there, and I don't know whatever happened to that kid in the end. Do you? I don't. I researched who was on hold, I had a different story I was going to go with, but that one just strikes me. In the middle of the day during Christmas season, it's crazy. Yeah, it is. And we talked about it a lot because of Steve Kiwi was all over that story and what happened there. That and Krasner, whether he was going to press charges against the 14 year old. Yeah, I got to go and look that up and see whatever happened to him. But that is quintessential because it marries exactly how ridiculous that is and Krasner to it. And in the heat of 20, you know, in the heat of COVID and the heat of, you know, every all the nonsense going going on in Center City, Philly, and nobody nobody gets held accountable for anything. Just about. Great one. Thank you, Gary. Joe important town. Love this one. Joe, what's yours? Mine is the big story here. The whereabouts of your beloved barco lounger. Yes. Whatever. Reports have come in that a restored barco lounger has been found in Scott from Mount Warhol's main cave. Okay. Thank you. Oh my God. Yeah. The barco lounger. Yeah, the barco lounger when we finally put it out, the photos of that stuff on Twitter and where did it end up? The new chair fits just as well. I held out all those years on the barco lounger. Henry, you got to imagine the other thing that lifts it up and down. Right. Yeah. That was broken. Then the whole part that you put your feet on was essentially broken. I had to kind of hoist myself in and out the back of it was falling apart. It was pretty dirty, but it fit perfectly and it was a barco lounger. Yeah. It was like a good baseball mitt. Like he just had it broken in. It's perfect. Like, why would I get rid of it? But when we put it on the curve the way that it looked, that is a pretty good one. Bill in Bucks County, Bill, what's yours? Well, mine goes back just a few years with Mayor Jim Kenny. He was at some sort of event doing a television interview and made a starting revelation that he didn't want to be mayor anymore. Yes. It was July 4th event where there was a shooting. A couple of people wounded. I don't think they ever got the person. The big annual on the Parkway event when they said, "Well, what do you mean?" He said, "That's right. I don't want to be married anymore." Oh my God. But I want the money. I want the pension and I want the money. Bill, where did he turn up? Do you remember? Jim Kenny recently? I don't know. Third and race. I don't know. No. The Harris campaign sentiment upstate Pennsylvania to pitch for them. Can you imagine those people seeing Jim lose a lot of Kenny there? Yeah. Yeah. That is a good one. Excellent one. Those are good. We've got some great stories today here. Henry, you're going to have to give me a few at least, so we make a determination. The question today was, you know, end of the year, you get these end of the year things. We're looking at 25 years though, that quintessential Philadelphia story. It was impactful. It was silly. It was weird. Whatever it was. Yeah. I like the silly and weird that kind of feels like it's like only in Philly, so I liked Mark and Philadelphia's answer of the couple in the Range Rover that ended up plopping themselves into the river. Another one. I'd be remiss if I didn't play this audio clip. He only had one summer with the Phillies. There goes a couple of plows demonstrating what I said, what I said, hitting us. All right. There you go. Here comes another one. To be sneak, Keeley getting hit by the snow plows. That was the Earl of Taconi's answer. And then, Joe on board in town right there, the history of the Barca Langer, whatever happened to it. It hit the curve and then, who knows? Let's go with the Barca Langer for the fun today. That was a clever call. I don't know about the Scott of Mount Laurel stuff, but okay. Clever call. All right. We'll put that into the hat. I'll be here tomorrow off on New Year's Day. I know Matt Rooney's in the on deck circle, warming up. But thanks to Henry for producing today. And Scott Prezler is just a game changer. It's amazing. This role he's created. It's almost like an influencer in the best sense of it. It's not? I don't know. There may have been some Johnny Appleseed activists like this guy, but he targets things so well. You heard the incrementalism of what he's targeting and how to go about it. And he's already up and running in New Jersey. So even though New Jersey is difficult, look, I know the thing. They don't elect a governor or two Democrats in a row and all this stuff, but Jersey still is difficult to win for the Republican. But guess what? It's at least an even shot with the arrow pointing toward the Republican, just getting through the primary, which will be starting. And on the Philly side, I think there's a real chance of defeating Krasner. But there are at least two guys that I know that would take votes away from each other. One of them is going to have to drop out early on or coalesce around the other. And if that happens, I think we're going to see a real horse race with Krasner this time, not that he's easy to beat. He's got this oddball coalesce, you know, the whole story. But this is going to be a huge year. And Prezler coming to Wildwood, you know what that means, mulligans, et cetera, to make it the capital of this effort in New Jersey. And he said on Thursday, we get the numbers, the registration numbers in Jersey. We'll take a look at that. So pointing toward the inauguration, you heard Jim Worthington say, yes, I will be broadcasting from the NAC. I know the station will, too, we'll get you the exact hours. You'll want to be there, Newtown Athletic Club in Bucks County. When President Trump takes the oath of office for the second time and all the stuff that goes into it, you'll want to share it. That event that we had at the NAC the last time was just a Hall of Famer, particularly the bear who showed up with the garbage truck jacket on, et cetera, and gave me the football. I could beat that bear in a race. I know I can do it. All right. I know the reputed. Do you think bears are as fast as any animal in the world? I know they're faster. It would be startling. That's what producers are for. All right. Handle that, Dan and Henry. Henry, any final words today? No, I think you summed it up perfectly in today's climate. OK, follow on Twitter at Dom Show 1210 at Dom Show 1210. We'll see you tomorrow with a couple of special guests and a couple of updates on things that even in a slow holiday season are breaking. At that said, Dom Show 1210, Matt Rooney taking you home in a rich sea always show for the next four hours on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT. Dom's here, Dano, weekdays 9 till noon on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT.
