Howard Professor of Law at Berkeley. Believe he's a big Eagles fan too. John Yu, back with us here in Philadelphia. John, welcome home. Thanks for joining us. - Thanks, I was a big Eagles fan until this last weekend. We don't get to see the games out of California. I only follow them on ESPN or NFL. I couldn't tell what the hell was going on. How are they getting so few yards in such few points? - Oh, it's terrible, dude. Well, how about a massive lawsuit on Nick Sirianna here? We'll be the first to have you on retainer for that, John. All right, so John, this dropping of this. Now, people remember when we've had you on before and rich and other shows, and nationally when we see on Fox, you were involved in some of the thorniest issues, particularly during the Bush years, Gitmo, things of that nature. I don't know if you know, I broadcast from Gitmo, so you were uppermost in my mind, some of the things you've said around the interrogations and the stuff that went on there. And I actually got to see not the principal, but some of the principals playing soccer right in front of me. And they would have murdered me by the time they got done their sandwich. They have picnic tables there, too. So John, how unusual is this? What Jack Smith and this judge have concocted it? I don't think it's legally election interference, but in the broad sense of it, it is. - But it may come down like work at the Justice Department in the months and years after 9/11. - And John, we have a little problem there with the sound. I'm not sure, guys, what's going on? Okay, yeah, we'll fix that. Okay, John, go ahead. Okay, little difficulty. As I said, John was involved in some of the biggest federal cases, Supreme Court cases, thorniest issues imaginable. All right, John. - Sorry about that, guys. - That's okay. - Yeah, as you said, I worked at the Justice Department right after 9/11, and it pains me to see the Justice Department acting, which to me, it looks like a blatantly partisan way to affect the election outcome. And the reason I say that is because if you look carefully at the filing that the Special Counsel dropped yesterday, I mean, unfortunately, if the Eagles aren't on, I'm reading all 165 pages of that thing. The Phillies aren't on either, but with baseball, you can read 165 pages at the same time you watched a game, but I read that damn thing, and there's nothing really new in it. And so it's the same charges, same basic facts that the Special Counsel has brought already, and which has gotten smacked back by the US Supreme Court. And so there's no way the trial could be held before the election. So you have to actually say, why is the Justice Department releasing this document now? And the only reason that makes sense is because they're trying to influence the election. I think that's what that's what makes me unhappy about my former colleagues at the Justice Department, is that there's no reason to try to rush this kind of these accusations, which Trump can't rebut, because there's no way we would go to trial before the election, which Trump can't rebut, so one-sided attack. And there's no reason to do it now, other than to try to get it out right before the election. - And John, in your role there, or with your colleagues, don't you think it's a good idea not to, after the day, after the debate, where walls didn't do well at all, to be dropping something like this? I mean, how does that look? I'm not saying they sat there that I know and said, yeah, let's take the stink away from that. Let's drop this today. But you gotta give a little space on these things you would think. - You know, I can't go that far because this one, I think the timing of it was actually under the control of the judge here in Washington. So Justice Department released it. They've been pushing to get it out in October. The judge chose to release it yesterday, but here's another question. This judge also had a chance to accelerate this case, to try to get it in before the election. So another question you have to ask is, why is this judge in Washington, DC, allowing the release of this indictment? It takes the judge's approval to do it, and the judge signed off, and it came out yesterday. This is, I think, an effort to influence the election. - Yes, and people are not getting expert commentary like yours necessarily. They're getting little stuff here and there, maybe some wild accusation that's in here that's intriguing, particularly around Mike Pence. And I get it why people would hear that, and the back and forth between Pence and Trump, that's where they're gonna put it in the news. John, the thing that I think here too, with Jack Smith as far as the document, we're coming back to again, he's pretty much saying, well, there can be fraud, but it has to be determinative fraud, meaning it determines the election, that's the only way that you can be leading the charge, otherwise he's in your mind, and saying, you know this is fraudulent, you know this didn't turn the election, so you, if you're Trump, anyhow, you can't be talking about it. - Yeah, this is why this whole thing that was filed as misconceived, because this is all about whether Trump gets immunity or not. And so you're right to hone in on the conversations between Trump and Pence. The reason why is 'cause the Supreme Court, just this summer, just three months ago, focused exactly on those conversations, to say those conversations likely cannot be used, that trial against Trump, because part of the President's job is to talk to the Vice President, and the court said when the President's doing his job, when he's using his constitutional authority, he can't be prosecuted. - Yeah, John, the thing that interests me too, look, I'm a law school dropout, you know that, but if I were doing this, I'd have to get into, if it comes down to this, if this ever goes to trial, Trump loses it will, trying to get inside the mind-- - Bents of discussions. - Yeah, trying to get into the mind of Trump, as far as, you know, he's all over the place, his natural style, and he doesn't want to give too much away, and he talks out loud about things. It's not easy to ascertain at any one point, exactly what he's saying and what he's doing, more so I would argue than most people, and it's a mind-rating thing here that I can't see how in the world we would send people off to jail by exercising mind-reading. And that's another thing that Supreme Court reminded us this summer, is the courts that you can't prosecute a president based on his state of mind, because the president's thinking about 100 things at once, he's responsible for protecting the country and making sure food economy's working well, and you're gonna try to convict him, say he tried to commit some giant fraud of the U.S., because of a few stray comments by White House staffers that might over-heard him, you're exactly right, Trump speaks out loud, right? He's not, you know, he's saying all kinds of things, he probably changes his mind a lot, and so you could read this indictment and say the alternate theory here you could say was, well, Trump didn't know who won the election, and he was asking questions, a lot of staffers, sometimes you ask a question about this, tell me a little bit about that, and maybe you would say, let's see how far this process goes, those people will do some more information. That's not meant to commit a crime. - John, one parting area, too, due to your expertise. John, you with us here on Talk Radio 1210. So we have the Inspector General yesterday, and this has started to flare up, sending signals that he wants to apparently issue his report now, or imminent, about the federal assets that were involved on the ground, et cetera, on January 6, and the charge seems to be that the Justice Department is holding that one up. So we're rushing this, but we're holding that up, and that doesn't excuse every action on January 6, or anything else. But I think if we hear there were 50 FBI people involved in this, it's in the mind of voters, it's gonna give them some pause to be thinking about all the elements of this. - Yeah, so first, the Inspector General at the Justice Department has done a really good job, even though his job is to criticize his own department. Remember, he's the one who said that FBI Director Jim Comey had committed obstruction, a justice, a lying, even though Comey was the FBI Director, when they were trying to figure out where the expression hoax comes from, and all this steel dossier stuff. I think if the Inspector General at DOJ has something to say, he should be allowed to say it, and say it right away. But the second thing is, look, what the Justice Department has done with the special counsel has undermined people's faith in the rule of law. And so what's really important is for the Biden administration, and they're just trying to do it. They can't restore people's faith in the integrity of law enforcement. So lots of people have questions about how much was the FBI infiltrating into these groups on January 6, make it all public, because that's gonna help people trust law enforcement more. And if you withhold it, if you withhold that information, it's just going to compound the problems people already have with the enforcement of the law, by the Biden administration. - Without a doubt, John, how do you look at the Phillies, particularly if it's against the Mets? What do you see? (John laughs) - Oh my God, I hate the Mets. (John laughs) You know, in true Philadelphia fashion, I just root to hate the other team. - That's exactly right. That's why we love it. That is a considered legal opinion. John, thank you, as always, John. Thanks for coming on today. - Thank you, John. Thanks guys. Great to be with you again. John Hu here on Talk Radio 1210. All right, 855-839-1210. How does this play out in the minds of voters? It's all part now. They seem to be reduced to abortion and January 6 again. All right, we had a ton of people calling in. Melania Trump in her memoir, The Guardian Got This. I guess Ainslie did the first interview on Fox. Maybe she had it, but it's only come to light today that she's talking about a woman's right to choose, and there's no boundary. I'm looking at the exact language here. So, Dan, you think, apparently, this could cut toward Trump and/or conspiratorially that everybody was in on it because it takes them out of-- - Marguerite. - The way I see this is, I can't imagine that Melania Trump put out a book which he doesn't float it by the campaign, you know. - Okay. - Idea makers first. And, you know, I don't think this is a campaign strategy by any means because I don't think it necessarily helps Trump too much, but I think this probably came across their desk and they saw Melania was gonna offer opinion on abortion. They're like, "You know what? "Maybe it further..." And I'm gonna use the term that sounds negative, but I think it's positive that further muddies the waters around the topic of abortion. And I think there are a lot of people out there. I speak from experience here. I'm obviously a conservative individual. Maisie's very conservative on a lot of issues, but the topic of abortion makes her, you know, consider voting left. My friend Justin's the same. I can go over and over there. Tons of men in my generation that lean conservative and have a wife that, you know, has this topic of abortion. So Melania now expressing this thought, I think really opens up the door for Trump to say to a lot of men out there who are living in this type of situation. Hey, this is a way to essentially sell it to your wife. My wife too has the same thoughts. And this is, again, reinforcing. This is why it should be a state's issue. People have different thoughts on this topic. My wife clearly has a different stance on this topic than I do. You know my stance, I've made it very clear, but it allows them an out campaign strategically on the topic of abortion, furthering taking that away as a strategy for Democrats. And I honestly think it's genius. - All right, 855, 839, 1210, I don't. Because I think my sense of the people running the campaign, they were able to go, oh my God. We need this at this point. Trump has done a good enough job of letting people see that he's not gonna go for a national abortion ban or anything like that. - I look at the timing, I think, October surprise. You put Melania, you get her a book out, this close to your election, where every single commercial, everything, every issue that the Democrats are talking about is abortion. Take that away from them a month before the election. I think that's a pretty good strategy. - There's one fly in the ointment here. I mean, I haven't seen line by line, I think it was two interviews, Hannity and Ainsley. If there are more, I haven't seen it talked about. So I don't understand how it helps. In other words, if she enunciates this in the interview, this is her view and exactly what it means, but it appears to be no limit on abortion. I don't see that as exactly, could be what she believes. - I mean, we're also living in 2024 where husbands and wives don't necessarily agree on everything, especially politics, and we're not electing Melania to be the next president, we're electing our husband. - But I am living in 2024, I agree with you, and there's a cardinal rule. - Oh, I'm not saying you're not, I just, I don't want conservatives to go down this path. - I'm just gonna say, there's a cardinal rule though, I'm very sensitive to something that might negatively, you can imagine, Rose got the burden of me and what I do publicly. And she is a much calmer piece, the whole thing and all, and she deals with it beautifully, but I realize what the burden is. Suppose Roe then has a completely, an opinion thrown into it versus what I routinely stand for. It's not right to be going public with it, that's the way I say it. - I disagree. - Okay. - Yeah. - All right, I, we'll, I'm not gonna put it. - I could be quite honest, it's an amazing choice not to come on the show, but I've invited her on to express her thoughts of abortion, I'd be happy for her to come on and tell her thoughts, it's. - All right, it's 855-839-1210. - And I think you, I think I could justify our position. - Okay. - And I think, essentially win them over in the end game. - All right, well. - And I think, again, to my point, I think this further allows ammo for that, to try to win over the wives that might be hesitant because of the abortion stance. - Okay, so that could be, now I just worry about unintended consequence. I don't see the gain worth, what's the downside? Are pro-lifers? And we have one call, we said, nope, that's it with Trump, this is too much. - They're not gonna not vote for Trump. - Right. - But pro-lifers are heavy voters, they're gonna come out to the polls and they're not gonna vote for Kamala Harris. There's no way that they're gonna vote. - Some of them may not vote, that's true. - Is anyone gonna stay at home because of this? - They might be gathering, there is a wing of the pro-life that thinks that Trump hasn't gone far enough. We've heard that already. - Yes, what are you gonna do? You're a enable Kamala to win? - No, I hear you, I mean, it would be hard to believe, particularly if they're religious and they don't vote, I just think that's kind of strange. But 855-839-1210, hit us with that all-time spokesperson, OJ, not guilty. I didn't say anything, I just said not guilty today. On two murders, hit us on that though, it's a curious choice to me to be putting this out in the memoir at this point. She didn't talk about it with the Fox host. So if she did, that would have been interesting. Will she talk about it with anyone? CNN apparently wanted to do the interview, there was a big bidding war over it, they wouldn't do it in the end. We'll see if she appears any place where there would be a lot of back and forth. 855-839-1210, that's how you get in right now with Dom on Talk Radio 12 Tech. - My dad works in B2B marketing.

We'll talk with Sean Parnell who will be in Buckler for the Trump speech, the return, which is gonna be iconic, this coming Saturday night. And if you heard from Linda Kerns, the news, the secretary of state, the website, controls voter registration in Pennsylvania, has relented, and Scott Prezler was on this right from the beginning. They were gonna do maintenance from 6 p.m. on Saturday to two. Prezler told us he might register 500 people at that rally or more. And now they're going to move it back, I believe, to 10 o'clock is what she said to start of it. So it's an indicator that people are on this stuff. Every bit of this here in Pennsylvania and more is being scrutinized. All right, you heard Dan and I talking about the Melania Trump excerpt and how this plays out. And again, this election, I don't care what anyone else says, is so tight, particularly here in Pennsylvania, that any number of things in the end turn out being the biggest, or people inspired enough to actually come out and vote, or to vote male in bow at Parnell, is in charge of male in bow in Pennsylvania. So we'll get an update. In Philadelphia, I see no way Democrats are gonna win by 500,000 votes as Bob Brady did. If they do, then they're probably gonna win Pennsylvania, but I don't think they're gonna win by that number. I think that's a huge pipe dream to put it mildly. And we'll see as we get closer to that, what indicators are out there. All right, we also have Ron DeSantis. And DeSantis, I know some of the challenges he had during the primaries, but boy, when it comes to getting into the ring and actually positioning himself, this guy is great. He's on the strike now. Florida's got several ports, of course. Here's what he said. He's bringing in the National Guard. - Now we have this situation where you have these ports are being shut down across the East Coast and the Gulf Coast of the United States. This has the potential of really disrupting the hurricane recovery and of hurting the people who were victims of the storm. And I don't think it's right to try to cripple the recovery that our storm victims are undergoing. We want to accelerate the recovery and do all we can to make that happen. What is going on in this work stoppage will negatively impact the distribution of cargo. And that will include perishable foods, medical equipment, home goods, electronics, machinery, apparel, vehicles, vehicle parts, lumber, steel, as well as other essential construction and hurricane supplies. At Port Everglades in Southeast Florida, about 41% of businesses at two of the five terminals will be impacted at Port Miami. Strike will affect about 50% of the port's cargo capacity at three of its container terminals. And the Jacksport, about one-third of the commerce, particularly international container volumes and international vehicle volumes, will be impacted. This could lead, and indeed, if it goes on longer, will lead to significant supply chain disruptions. This will cause delays in the delivery of critical goods and it will result in inventory shortages. Economic forecasts show that for every 36 hours, this continues is equal to one week of supply chain disruptions. Do we have time for weeks of disruptions given all that's happened in communities in Florida and throughout the Southeast? I don't think so. - All right, so he's deploying the National Guard is a bottom line to keep order, but it also said something it seems like he's giving an Alameda at a certain point the National Guard would intervene here and be involved with those supplies. So it's not just the average American with this jerk that runs the Longshoreman. We're gonna cripple you and everything else. We're talking about the hurricane victims. Now, are people going to say, well, you can't intervene in this? This is a work stop, but the only thing you can do is to have heartly. I think the Sandis is saying, you know what? In my state with the National Guard, we are gonna intervene. Now, what's gonna happen then? Is this big mouth who runs the Longshoreman gonna say, well, we'll get into it with the National Guard? You're not gonna unload those ships? Gotta love the Sandis. - I do have the Coast Guard comment if you want. - Yep, the Coast Guard, okay. - That would be used for things that we need that may end up being rerouted. So Florida's open, we wanna use our resources to be able to get all this stuff to the market so that people are able to use what they do. We have 16 different deep water seaports. We will work with you to get critical commodities to shore and promptly plugged into the supply chain. At my direction, the Florida National Guard and Florida State Guard will be deployed to critical ports affected to maintain order. And if possible, resume operations, which would otherwise be shut down during this interruption. - All right, let's stop there. That's a little bit I can't quite tell, but resume operations, one of two things. He means we're not gonna let these strikers prevent other people or not on strike or something from resuming operations and/or the National Guard's gonna be involved in this. I am so, so, look, I'm trying to be fair about this strike with the automation thing we talked about the other day. But this guy running this and this idea, there's nothing you're gonna do to us and Biden is not going to invoke TAF Hartley, which was put in here because of the damage. What about the hurricane victims? Well, they're saying the head of this is saying, you didn't care about us. You don't care about union workers. What about our rights? And to say this is saying, look, you're gonna get a little period of time here. But look at what I'm gonna do here. What about the people affected by the hurricane? Well, it's just tough. I am not seeing a guy expose more than the head of this longshoreman. New York Post is doing an incredible job. And I read you at the beginning of the show what he said about an easy pass. So Dan, I'll ask you, Henry and I said, "Yeah, we use self-checkout "if we only have X number of items. "If you do that, did you ever think "you're costing a person a job?" No. Okay. It is costing a person a job. I've never had the experience of walking up there, like, "Eh, I don't want to do this. "I'm gonna go to the cashier today." Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I mean, sometimes it's crowded. Sometimes you don't need a few items. I'll be completely honest. There's a lot of times that convenience supersede my morality. Yeah, well, sure, I mean. Well, convenience is fine. I think people have a right to efficiency and convenience. I can't come up with a better example. If there's something where now I'm not gonna do that, that's too far over the line with automation, but easy pass is a great thing. I mean, just imagine what it was like before that. And all those job of tall collectors, essentially, or almost all, have gone away. This guy's saying, "Nope, we're not gonna let you do that." So driverless, what, trucks and all. Now we don't want that. Unloading the ships and all that. There might be some degree of automation involved. All right, Sean Parnell is next. We're gonna get you an update on how is mail-emboweling going in Pennsylvania and his thoughts as he heads toward Butler, he was right behind President Trump originally when the shooting happened. Apparently, it's gonna be an all-out security effort, but this is an iconic moment, is Trump gonna say, as I was saying, of course, I think he will. Are they gonna have 40 or 50,000 people there? Is the media gonna cover it? Because this puts the fact that this guy has been shot once in almost two times. What they don't wanna remind people of, it's amazing how that's not in the public sector anymore. All those questions. All right, getting on the side question though, hit us with someone who was the spokesperson, the pitch person for a big-time product. 855-839-1210, you can do that.

His thoughts on security, President Trump, but also wanted to ask him, he's the point person on mail-in balloting, how that's going on Talk Radio 1210. Hey Sean, welcome back to Philadelphia, thank you for joining us. - Hey, thanks for having me, it's good to be here, Dom. - Well, I would think Sean, Butler II should be a cakewalk, but who knows, given the people that are out there, this is an iconic moment, it'll probably draw some of the really crazies. - Yeah, it is an iconic moment, and let me tell you in your audience that this rally is shaping up to be something that's very, very special. It's gonna be different from what people have seen in the past from Trump rallies. This rally is gonna be very, very focused on, I mean the state of Pennsylvania, but commemorating the compratore family and the other two folks from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who are wounded, honoring all of Butler County, all the first responders, the rally is just gonna be something very, very special. And yeah, as far as security, I mean a bit of Trump rallies since the second assassination attempt, and let me tell you, they have really ratcheted up security, but what I'm hearing is true, they're still denying Trump full levels of protection, most notably, deterring a strip to Wisconsin. And again, to me, there's just no excuse for that, but it's indicative of a Harris-Biden administration that just does nothing but fail, whether it's protecting President Donald Trump or responding to disaster relief down in America's Southeast, they just, it's literally fail at everything, Tom, it's absolutely stunning because election is as close as it is. - They don't even politically cover it up well, or even try it seems like, it's like we have 30 days left in the election, and Biden is stubbornly not even talking about Taev Hartley, this guy that runs along Shortman is political gold for the Trump side, he's out of control. - Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And the whole, this is the situation that we live in right now, we have a natural disaster, the likes of which we probably haven't seen since Hurricane Katrina, just developing the Southeast of this country. If you're North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, those people are really suffering. And FEMA comes out and says two days, three days after the actual disaster hits, now they should be on the front end of it, hurricanes aren't exactly a surprise, but they come out and say, oh, well, you know, sorry folks, we're not gonna have enough money to get us through hurricane season. There are people on the ground right now, suffering and dying, you know, in survival mode, and your government comes out and says that, I'm sorry, that does not breed confidence. It's absolutely horrific. You've got this longshoreman strike at the exact same time that threatens, it has closed all of America's ports, threatens to ruin the holiday season, you know, make it even more difficult for Americans to put food in the table for their family. And all those people who are suffering in the Southeast, you're trying to rebuild your home. Well, guess what? It just got a heck of a lot more expensive. All of this stuff is happening in this chaos. I mean, the crazy thing about it, Dom, is the Democrats in the media are always like with this fake Trump brings chaos stuff, even though they're the harbingers of chaos, they're the ones that create all of it. So the reality is the chaos in our lives happening right now and folding before our eyes, is all caused by Biden and Harris, and their lack of leadership, Dom. And that brings me to this point. Like this country, this country desperately needs right now, more leaders and fewer politicians, my friend, and people who are just unafraid to get out front and lead. - Well, I hope President Trump with the rally, Sean, that's exactly the right tone. He shouldn't worry about entertaining or not. People are gonna be thrilled to be memorializing, remembering that, and he'll have the entertainment when he says the first line as I was saying. I mean, he's gotta say that. I mean, we're all anticipating that. Are you speaking, Sean? - Yeah, I will be speaking there and actually am seeing the entire portion that is commemorating all about the county, which is kind of an amazing honor that the Trump team thinks of me in that way. It's just very humbling, but I'm really excited for it. - Sean, you are the point person on mail-in ballot. I'm not sure if you were aware, but our buddy, Scott Prezler, and our local people have gotten the Secretary of State's office to remove computer maintenance they were gonna do, starting at 6 p.m. this Saturday during the rally. They moved it back, so I just want listeners to know we're on top of these things, we're on it, and I know that you are with the mail-in ballot. We're hearing an uptick that it's better than the last time, and I think the difference is it doesn't seem to be as good for the Democrats, though, as in 2020. - Oh, that's right. I mean, put it very soon, my friend. Like, Democrats have 921,000 requests right now. GOP has 401,000, and while you might think, like, holy smokes, Democrats have a huge lead. The reality is, since 2022, and the reason why I cite 2022 is because 2020 was a little bit of an anomaly because of COVID, so the GOP has 101,000 more requests since 2022. The Democrats are down 52,000. So while the Democrats have a lead, it's not as substantial as it once was, and when you add to that all of the registration gains that Republicans have made since 2020 move cut to the Democrat voter registration advantage in this state by more than half, I'm telling you, the political battlefield in the state of Pennsylvania is shaping up very nicely for Republicans. - Yeah, we have, I think it's Guy Sharaki, as Sean local pundit and then columnist. He has said, and I don't have it written down right in front of me, but when we get to election day, if those numbers are, as you're saying now, or anywhere near that, then given the turnout, the usual turnout that will be there, we're gonna win Pennsylvania, it'll be close, but we're gonna win now, if they have the advantage they had in 2020, for example, you're not gonna win. I mean, it's a pretty simple thing, and I think we're at a good spot here. - Yeah, yeah, I think so too. I mean, I think what's really important is, we're gonna keep banging away at the banking the vote game, and look, here's a great example of why that's so important. You know, internet goes down, as you just mentioned, the PA Department of State. Oh, hey, look, we have internet maintenance on, just so happens to be on the day that Trump's coming back to Pennsylvania, and voter registrations could be through the roof. Our internet's down. So they, Democrats do stuff like that, or in the case of like horrific, horrible, natural disasters that nobody can anticipate, look what's happening down in the Southeast, we just got done talking about that. Bank your vote, right? You bank your vote. We know that you voted, you contract your ballot. If you're uncomfortable with it, show up on election day anyway. And for those who are planning on showing up on election day, we have an opportunity to change the course of history in Pennsylvania. If we win this state, we save this country. And that means every single one of us had a duty and responsibility to bring 10 people to the polls, take accountability for 10 people, and make sure that they get there. But not only we gotta fight the political fight with the mail in Dallas, because of course we do. The rules of the political battlefield as they are, we've got to fight with them. But we need to do our part, we need to show up, we need to bring people to the polls. Because if we do that, and we execute, because we're in the execution phase of this election operation right now, Dom. But if we execute, we will win this thing, and if we win Pennsylvania, we save this country. - That's exactly right. Where do they go, Sean Parnell? What website are you involved with? - Go to skipthelinepa.com, skipthelinepa.com. You can bank your vote there, trust the organization, it's run by a great group of strong, election integrity minded Republicans. Again, win Pennsylvania, save America, but just bank your vote, and let's do this thing. - Have a great time, you deserve it, Sean, to be the MC for that part, without a doubt. And let's get you on on Monday. I'll put you on hold, and maybe you can talk to our guy, and we'll get a time set up, because I have a feeling this is gonna be a jam-packed weekend here. - Okay, my friend, we'll do that. - Thank you, Sean. I'll put you on hold, and we'll hear from Sean, the butler thing. I, you know, it's for our listeners, it's five and a half hours away. I don't know if you're going, if you are. Tell us about that. Joe's been waiting in board in town on our side question today. O.J. was a great spokesperson, hurts. Joe, who's your person? Yo, Joe. All right, was Joe Azuzu. Okay. All right, 855-839-1210, you get on board. AT&T and Verizon Wireless, you push pound 1210. We'll come back to Joe here in a second. And yesterday, toward the end of the show, we got this list of unbelievable call volume from certain people over the course of time. I think it's like the top 75 or so. And somehow another was thinking about that. We'll give you a little bit of that. At two o'clock, we're gonna talk with Monica Crowley, former Deputy Treasury Secretary, and someone who was the moderator for the preparation of the Vance debate, and someone that President Trump was on yesterday on her podcast. And he said a couple of really interesting things. All that will unfold here on Talk Radio 1210. You know, all batteries plus bulbs in Mount Laurel and Northfield, two big stores, my friend Roy at both stores looking for help. The reason is, this is a spot over the years. I don't know if it's 10, but it's closing on that, that we've told you to go, anything battery needed, anything like that, but also a place that helps you with tech, fixing it, figuring it out. You're in the business world, an energy audit, or creative solutions. All you have to do is call them and tell them what the problem is. They'll get right on it, but they need more people. You know, a handy do-it-yourself would be ideal. It's a great low-pressure part-time job. Customer service is the key. If you're willing to do what it takes to help, you need to talk to Roy. You be part of the team, they power it, they light it, and boy, do they fix it. Call them at 856-638-0778. Batteries, plus bulbs, Mount Laurel, and Northfield. They run in a strange program, y'all. It's Dantime? I can handle things. I'm smart. I'm like everybody's sick. With Dom. Ready on silent. Yes, it's that time of the afternoon producer, Dan, takes over the Dom Giordano program for some Dantime with Dom and Dom. I didn't even know we could do something like this, and it's really frickin' cool. Yesterday, Earl called in, and I overheard Henry telling Earl the amount of times that he's called in. And I was like, is there a way to pull up a database and find out some numbers as to who our top callers are, to 12th and WPhT these past couple of years or longer? And what I was able to find on them is I found some data on our callers. One set that you have in front of you is, from when we started keeping track on this new phone system that we used, that we implemented in late 2016. Eight years, right? And that number one, clear and away by like a thousand calls, is, and let me be clear, this isn't making it on air. This is just encounters in general, so just calling us, waiting on hold, maybe not making it on or whatever. Number one, for all those years, Dom, that we've been keeping track, and it's not even close. I gotta be quite honest to you. Earl up to Coney. 2,287 calls, the next closest in the entire time, Dom. Ed of Dell ran with 1,338. Earl has almost a thousand more calls than the next caller. And Ed, we haven't heard Ed of Dell ran in quite a while. Yeah, for those numbers of all time, Jane and Penn Sock, and then there's a name that's very interesting here, because we also pulled data from the start of the pandemic, and then we also pulled within the past year. And since the start of the pandemic, Dom, there's been one call there that's really shown, and he has no calls prior to 2021, which is surprising to me, and I didn't realize this, but number four of all times, we've been keeping track with now 1,236 calls. So almost half of Earl's in the amount of time, but only about like a third of the amount of time, is now the magnificent and the mysterious Joe of Exten, is now the fourth all time, so we've been keeping track of these calls, Dom. And that's because within, since 2021 only, he's had 1,236 contacts with us. Wow, so that's like 400 to 500, well, 400 a year in change. You know what that proves to me, though, is dedication. Oh, yeah. Now, the one I look at here, well, that's definite Hall of Fame. Yeah, the guy I look at here, what the heck happened, then I worry if anybody knows, Tom of Marleton Dan, had 780 calls during that time period. He used to come to all of our events, remember the Hawaiian shirt, just a brilliant guy. I anger you, Tom. I saw Tom at church one day. Okay. And he came over and said hi to me, and I thought we were hitting it off. I thought we had a good, and ever since then, he hasn't cold. No, I don't think it's that. I worry if something happened. Oh, that's true, too. Yeah. A couple of names on here you wonder. Yeah. Well, somebody who has to bump it up, though. Come on now. She's only in, like, eighth or ninth place with 474 encounters. Bishop Pine Leslie. Yeah. Yeah. And surprising to see her so far down with only 68 calls in the past year. It seems like she might be a volunteer. Yeah. What's going on there? Well, I give you a top 10 of the past year. Since 2000, started 2024 because I think there's a lot of new colors to the show, and so just outside of it, honorable mentioned number 11, Dom. And he's been a really big proponent of our side question. Robert and Ben Salem, number 11 with 161 calls this year, Dom. Okay. That seems low. I thought he was more than that. Yeah. Number 10, we got Drew of Upper Darby, 182 calls. You got Greg of the Northeast. Nine Bruce in the Northeast, number eight, unsurprising. Gary of Newtown, Dom, an opposing caller. Number seven. Yeah. Listen to a lot of number five. Joe of Columbus with 266 calls. Yes. I'm sorry. That's number six. Number five is Joe of Exten. In the past year, Joe of Exten's fallen off, Dom. He had this crazy amount of calls since the pandemic. And in the past year, he's only number five. Number four. Ed and Delran. Number three. Kevin and Bucks County. Number two. Earl Kevin. Wow. Number three. That's Kevin Paul's. GregStalker sucks. Dot com. These earls, not number one, as he just heard is. I think it has a lot to do with his regular updates that he calls in with regarding Bucks County voter registration number that's Bill in Bucks County with 342. Wow. He's number one. You know what I look at when I hear? Maybe I only see four women, maybe five out of the top of 40 or 50. Leslie's number one, and I miss Lori. I know Lori has a different schedule now. And Greta, who used to call in all the time in Gloucester Township. So I think there's a trick to Bill who's on the line now. I brought Bill in because being the number one caller, Bill, I think what you do sometimes, though, is sometimes you're waiting on call on hold and then you drop off and you'll call us back. And that's why you got so many of those numbers is you're inflating your numbers, man. You're cheating over there, Bill. Yeah. I think Bill's a Democrat. I think this is something we found this out here. No doubt. Yes. I am a registered Republican and have been for many, many, many millions on the former committee man, former member of the Bucks County executive committee of the Republican Party. Okay. All right. Well, you are number one. It's a nice cover. Yeah. It's a nice cover. Thank you for your commitment, Bill, sincerely. Yeah. Hopefully next time I'll get on the cover of Rolling Stone, maybe. All right. Well, you know, it's about time that we start looking at the right after the election, the caller of the year, Earl has been sterling, but, you know, Robert, Joe, you're in there. I mean, is the top 10? It's going to be fierce. So you think, Bill, you think Melania's going rogue here? Why? I don't think she's happy with this whole campaign. And you know, it started with the fashion photos, some of which were pretty revealing. And now it's this controversial Democrat pushed the agenda of abortion. I mean, I mean, that's that's some of us with Mastriano. Yeah. I mean, it's just, they're just clinging to it. I don't. I don't know. Well, the tell is going to be when she does an interview in which someone actually asked about it. The Fox host seemed to have deferred. They didn't ask. I think they should, but I realized getting the interview was pretty tough. So I understand maybe Cuomo will do it. She's going to be on with Cuomo. I don't know. Maybe I don't know. Yeah. I don't know if any of the outsides CNN would not pay 250,000 according to one report. So we'll see. Don't your daughter show the green up. There you go. Yes. And I mean, I want to hear it. I would just throw the ball to her and ask why do that? I think it's inappropriate though, Bill. I got to tell you, I definitely do. But doesn't she have handlers? I think she does. I think she does what she wants here, whatever that now Dan thinks this is a way to soften up Trump that Trump's not for banning on abortion and all. I think you raise something else. She released those pictures again recently. And that's not good. That's just not good. I think it's not a conservative thing to do. Yeah. Who's your spokesperson? Well, I think he's one of the greatest marketers of all time. Steve Jobs. Yep. Definitely the black outfit. The whole thing is. I also think he's one of the biggest fashion fashionistas. Yeah. Exactly. You dress. Right. Definitely. I can't get enough of those. You love that black turtleneck. Yeah. Have you ever seen Donald with the black turtleneck? Oh, I have no time. Yeah. I was gonna say if you haven't. I have no closet of them. Yes. There's nothing wrong. But it's like the little black dress. All women should be. All blue jeans, Dom. It's it's all women should be in little black dresses with heels. You can't go wrong. Trust me on that. I'll ask Monica Crowley. That were friends. She's coming up. She's a former assistant treasury secretary in the Trump years. She got Trump on her podcast yesterday, said some stuff that I want you to hear. And President Trump and the debate, she was the moderator in the Vance debate. Gotta ask her about the chief fact check a lot and Dom's money melody. A lot of action here on the spokesperson. We're coming to you next year on Talk Radio 1210. Dom's here, Donald. Weekdays 9 till noon on talk radio 1210 WPhD. Dear Autumn Leaves, you won't be covering roads alone this season.
