Dom Chiodano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. All right, it is Dom time. Without further ado, our guy in the center ring on all the big national stuff and in town today for Stacey Garrity. Let's bring in on the Dom show, Scott Presler on Talk Radio 1210. Welcome back to town, Scott. Thank you. Yes, I just flew in from West Palm Beach to D.C. Then I immediately got in my car, and I'm driving to Philly right now. Well, Scott, I know how much you're traveling. Maybe you haven't had a chance to see the Kirk trial. You were a friend of Charlie Kirk. Your thoughts, though, from what you've been able to piece together as this plays out? I hope that the trial... is going to expose a lot of the people that have been falsely theorizing anything nefarious on our side, and it's going to shut some of those people up and allow Erica... in her family and Charlie's family to grieve without any additional suffering that some of these people have been placed upon them. And I hope it's just going to expose Tyler Robinson, and I hope that justice, if you could even call it that, that we will get some semblance of it from this trial. And Scott, I remember when you came on when that happened, and you knew better than I. I mean, I knew him as a talk show host, and I knew somewhat the influence of Charlie Kirk. But it was historic, and I think it's still continuing through the organization he found it. And the family, Erica and the family, have been adamant about transparency on this on all exhibits of everything imaginable. Let the world see every part of this.

Yes. And as much as that hurts them, I think they more than anyone with all of the attacks just want the truth to be out there so they can move on as best as they can with their lives. Talking to Scott Presler, so Scott following you on Twitter, you've unearthed, what can you tell us about voter list in Pennsylvania? What are you looking at? So we are actively, as you know, working to clean up the voter rolls. And it's not just active versus inactive voters. It's not just dead voters. For a really long time, we've known that illegal aliens have not only been registered to vote, but have been voting, but we couldn't prove it because I didn't have a list of illegal aliens. The president of Biden administration wasn't just telling us who illegal aliens were. And so what we discovered is the Department of Homeland Security has a website called the worst of the worst. It's the DHS Wow website. and you can actually break it down by state. And so, of course, I'm looking at Pennsylvania, and these are criminal illegal aliens that have committed heinous crimes. I'm talking crimes against women, crimes against children, you name it, and these illegal aliens have done it. And then I thought to myself, wait a second, what if I, because I have all the data for the entire state, I have all the voter records, I have all the voter rolls. What if I took some of these DHS wow individuals and plugged them into the voter rolls? Sure enough, one after one, after one, I'm finding illegal aliens that are not only actively, actively registered to vote, Al Schmidt. but who have voted in federal elections, even dating back not only to 2020, but before 2020. And so I can tell you right now to any of Josh Shapiro, his cronies that may be listening right now, preserve your records. Preserve your records because we are coming peacefully. We know of many illegal aliens that have voted and that are on the voter rolls. And the Assistant Attorney General to the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice just sent a letter that if any of these election offices allow for illegal aliens to vote this November, they are going to be held criminally liable and that they are being warned now that they are responsible for only ensuring that Americans are voting. And so what I'm here to tell you is we have the proof. We have documentary proof of illegal aliens voting in Pennsylvania, and we're uncovering more and more every single day. Scott, it underlines again the Save America Act. It appears that the president has not given up on it. I know Scott Presler has not. What would the mechanism be at this point, though, to get it done? What has to happen?

5:28

So we have a couple different options. Thank you for asking. Number one, Speaker Johnson is, I think this week, because the House is getting back to work, the Senate's on vacation, is trying to MRF, which means attach the Save America Act to the National Defense Authorization Act. I fully support this. Yep. Attach save to NDAA. That is must-pass legislation. President Trump has already called for it. He said, attached, save to the Department of War. That's one way. Number two, since the Senate wants to spy on Americans, while Mike Lee has been asking for a warrant for FISA Section 702, I say, let's make a compromise. You give us the warrant. You're allowed to spy on illegal aliens, get a warrant for Americans, and attach Save America Act to FISA Section 702. That's pathway number two. Third pathway is budget reconciliation 3.0. They just recently passed 2.0. They were not able to pass attached to Save America Act as an amendment. I say do budget reconciliation 3.0, not as an amendment, but in the text of the bill, so it's harder to remove. And then there is another fourth pathway, but I'm going to keep that to myself for now. But I do encourage people to speak to your members of Congress and let them know how imperative it is that we get photo voter ID and proof of citizenship. That's all the Save America Act is, photo voter ID and proof of citizenship. Absolutely. So, Scott, tonight, you're headed over here to Philadelphia. Stacey Garrity, big event at an iconic spot. Talk a little bit, preview. What are you going to say about Garrity and the importance of this race? Well, this is a prestigious venue. I'm told that there are going to be some special guests there that I don't even know about. So I'm excited to find out who they are. Listen, this is a defining point. We just had the 250th anniversary of the foundation of our country, which started right here in Philadelphia. I think it's a very important moment in history, and Pennsylvania has the choice. Are we going to continue to lose Pennsylvanians that are moving out of state because they can no longer afford Governor Josh Shapiro's economy? They can't afford the gas prices that we have here. We have one of the worst taxes in the United States. Or are we going to unleash the oil that we have underneath our feet? Are we going to reduce some of the onerous and burdensome property taxes that we have here in Pennsylvania?

8:28

And I am, as an elected official now, endorsing and going to vote for Stacey Garrity and Jason Ritchie to be our next governor and lieutenant governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And then after that, Dom, I'll actually be with Dan Muser tomorrow, Congressman Dan Muser, fully support him. I'll have followed by the Rally at the Rock with Commissioner Doug McClinto. I'll be up over in Bradford County where actually C-Security is from. And then I'll also hit Pike and Wayne County. So in four days, I will be going to five of Pennsylvania's beautiful counties. Absolutely. And the book all the time on the way. How's the book going? We are still in the number four percentile of all books sold on Amazon. I'm doing two book signings while I'm here. I have an event in Dallas that all 125 tickets sold out, and that's going to be another book signing in Dallas where we're actually going to have the midterm convention as well this year. So right now, everything is looking good. We just need big, beautiful turnout. And, of course, whenever I do events, if you bring the book free, no charge, I would love to sign it. I would love to personalize it. I would love to... to dedicate my time to always sign people's books when they come to our event. Absolutely. Well, I told you we're working on Mulligans and related things. People are chomping at the bit for that, your schedule and what we can do. But, Scott, how do we help day to day? I mean, the travel, you used to travel a lot. This is inordinate what you're putting yourself through. How do we help? How do people support all this? I know. I feel guilty. I've missed so many Mondays at 2 o'clock, but I can't help it if I'm flying. I'm so sorry. I just, I need continued help, please. My team. Would love to work with you. Earlyvoteaction.com, earlyvoteaction.com, early voteaction.com, early voteaction.com. And just know, while we are early voteaction.com, there is nobody working harder besides our president to fight for election security. So we can do both. We can win here in Pennsylvania. We can elect state security as governor to then change the law. And we can also fight for the Save America Act, which is my commitment to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Absolutely, Scott, safe travels, and we'll talk very soon. Thank you, Scott. Thank you, my friend. All right, Scott Presler here on Talk Radio 1210. I don't know why I just didn't fly in Philadelphia, what the thing is in the driving and the whole thing. But a big event with Stacey Garrity tonight. And Garrity.

11:27

is doing more of the listening tour on AI. And I mentioned Josh Shapiro. So a judge has said, yes, you can sue him as a neighbor. What kind of guy running for president since grade school is going to call it a security zone and sig the state police on his neighbors? Josh Shapiro will. That's exactly who he is. That's exactly what he'll do. He is beyond ruthless, relentless. He is a real menace. All right. Let's go to Brian and Soudardine hanging in on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Brian. Yeah. Hey, I'm sorry. That's okay. Oh, go ahead. That's okay. Yeah. It works. So here we go with my rendition. The ship out of danger. Yes. Don't breathe at all. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh. The needs of the few. Or the one. I have been and always shall be your friend. Live long and prosper. Excellent. And of course it was referenced in, of course, it was referenced in Seinfeld. We will always remember her as long as the shadows don't. What was that again? That is great, Brian. We appreciate, too, the impression of it. Thank you, Brian. Good one. Thank you, guys. Yes, Spock did definitely take one for the team, and when you actually acted out, that's power. These are heavy duty today. The winner today is going to really, really have something good. Right now, though. It is time for... It's Dom's Money Melody. And yes, another pair of lawn tickets to see Dave Matthews' band's summer tour of 2026 July 10th, right around the corner. Well, wait a minute, Tom. Tomorrow at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey, courtesy of Live Nation. Tickets are on sale at Ticketmaster.com. All right, Henry. Yeah, Dom. So we're asking for someone who took one for the team. Yes. This side, or not the side question, the money melody answer today is definitely someone who took one for the team, his team, his band. While performing at a massive concert in Sweden back in 2015, this lead man fell off the stage and broke his leg. Instead of, you know, canceling the rest of the tour, he demanded that someone built him a giant LED throne. that he could sit on for the rest of the tour, and that's exactly what he did, finishing the tour with a broken leg. So he took one for the team, broke his leg, said, we're not done yet. We're going to continue in this world tour and finish it. So I want to know the name of this band covering Band on the Run by Wings. Want to know who this is with a frontman who broke his leg and kept going. Took one for the team, Dom. Want to know who this is covering Band on the Rump. All right. Great prize. Jump in right now. 855, 8, 9, 12, 10. We'll take more calls, too, on the side. And I've been teasing it. It's a great guest today. They've all Concho on fire, the rabbi, and Scott Presler chugging his way here.

14:48

The other thing I'm going to get to is this Medford thing. I'll play you some of the sound of their town hall there. And now I think it's a thousand, six, and I have it right here. It is a thousand sixty-seven residential units must be added to the township, one thousand sixty-seven in order to pay for affordable housing. I'll break it down for you. Yeah, but let's vote for Mikie Sherrill. We don't lie, Jack Ciattarelli. Come on, those Republicans. continue dummies in New Jersey to vote for people like Mikie Sherrill and what's your quality of life going to be 1,067 units to Medford. All right, all that straight ahead. Talk Radio 1210. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. It's the money melody. Where has all the money gone. Show me to my. All right, playing off today's theme, taking one for the team. Who is covering this song? Frontman broke his leg, but finished the tour, took one for the team. We want to know the name of the band. Joe in Booth, Winn. Hey, Joe, what's your answer today? The Food Fighters. All right, Joe, nicely played, put you on hold, and you are off to see the Dave Matthews band. Anything more on that, Henry? Yeah, no, Dave Grohl back in 2015, broke his leg, falling off the stage in Gothenburg, Sweden. And, yeah, like I said, demanded an LED throne that he could sit on the rest of the show and play guitar and sing. Okay, doke. All right, I want to play you a little bit from Action News 6 ABC that sets this up. It's Medford. Now, this was a previous meeting in Medford with their town council about, uh-oh, you mean we're going to have to do affordable housing? And they're arguing here, hey, we're getting the best deal we can. I'll give you what the deal is. And then to make my point. How in the world do people not see this and continue to vote for people like Mikie Sherrill? All right. Here's the ABC report, 6 ABC report, the short one. Medford residents push back on the township's affordable housing plan. Call a lose-lose situation, homeowners at this town hall say they'll lose out the most. The township is approving a plan to build out affordable housing at three separate locations. I don't think there's one person behind me that wants this. Countship officials say this isn't their choice, but that they're being forced to comply with court-mandated obligations. If they don't, the township risks getting sued by developers. We know there's a lot of towns up north that have tried to... challenged, whether the numbers or the obligation altogether, and they're challenging it in the same court system that says you have to do it. So it's not a high likelihood of success. Residents say they want their officials to fight for them. We're going to allow a state to roll Medford. That's what we're basically saying here. Okay.

17:55

We're laying down. This all dates back to a 1975 New Jersey Supreme Court ruling that requires all municipalities to provide their fair share of affordable housing. Here in Medford Township, the state is calling for 171 new affordable housing units by the year 2035. But the township says to subsidize those, it also needs to build close to 800 additional homes. Okay, let's go back a little bit, all the way back to 1975, Mount Laurel. Let's go back to, I remember early years of talk radio, for the first 10, 15 years, Section 8, Northeast Philadelphia, Section 8, you know what Section 8 is. It was this federal law, you got to put people in the community that may or not keep up the home many times not, that whole thing. This is like Section 8. Now, Would Jack Ciattarelli have been able to stop a lot of this? Well, I think he would have fought with a lot of power to do whatever he could to delay this for as long as he could and continue to fight it. It's the Alamo. And you heard this Medford guy, what are we going to do? You can't do anything. So Medford, I went back after the election. You remember Medford, Medford Lakes, they voted for Mikie Sherrill. So as I understand it now, the Medford Township Council. approve four redevelopment projects that will completely collectively add 1,067 residential units to the township. To meet the state requirement, the approved plans include over 200 dedicated, quote, affordable housing units. They mentioned some places I have here, Parkview at Kirby's Mill, Trollinger at Stonebridge. the reserve and iron bridge, okay? These are some of the ones mentioned. Now, when this happened after the election, I made a lot of it. And I'm not sure I joined the campaign how fiercely thought this was. But if you think Jack Ciattarelli would have the same attitude, tone, and resources as Mikey. Mikie Sherrill wants to cut those ribbons. She wants to jam this down. Imagine these developers in charge. And in order to subsidize the 200, so-called affordable housing, they have to build 1,067 more. What about the schools? What about traffic? What about yada, yada, yada. And the answer is, they don't care about that. So what does it take for people to realize what the stakes are when it's a Cheddar Raleigh versus a Mikie Sherrill? I know there were other issues that constantly came up during the campaign and we know all the backdrop to it. But doesn't it come down to in the end? Particularly with someone like Cheddar Raleigh who ran a campaign. They're going to be on the side of not letting the authoritarian government run roughshod. And Mikie Sherrill will fuel this as if it's a helicopter she's riding. That's what it comes down to. 1,067. You think they learn anything by this, though? How in the world I'm asking can you vote for a candidate like Mikie Sherrill versus the alternative, even if you're not in love with Jack Tetaroid, whatever reason?

21:22

of where this is going to go in Jersey. And this is only the beginning. You're going to see this play out now more and more and more. Why is there not affordable housing, so-called affordable in Jersey? What is it that brings us to these rates? We know what it is. It's the taxation, the over-regulation, it's all the things that they've created, the welfare state on steroids, be it Murphy or whomever. Plug it in. And it will continue incrementally. It will only get worse. She wants to be the VP choice, maybe the next time around, et cetera, has national aspirations. Jack Ciattarelli would have fought this. Would he win in the end? Would you rather have a shot? Or would you rather be told, yep, we're going to shove down your throat. I like Manfred. I've been there a number of 1067 units. And we're going to subsidize people. Well, these people coming in getting this so-called affordable housing, who are they? What will they be like in a community? Well, I could just give you that phrase, section eight, on a higher level. But there you go. Continue to vote for people like this. This is what they do. This is who they are up and down the line. That's what it's always about. Mikie Sherrill will be happy to talk about the benefits of this. We're making housing for 200 families, I guess, affordable there in Medford. Yeah, but what about our quality of life? Why don't you understand that fact of life? To progressives, the people like Mikie Sherrill, there is no such thing as your quality of life. You know, she's not a commie. She's not Zohran Mamdani. But she's progressive enough where that is definitely secondary. And who are they putting in charge of determining a lot of this stuff? Developers, who they tell you they're against, but not when the developers are doing their idea of how the world should be. Can they accommodate all this? I would think not. That's what these residents say at town halls. Why were they going nuts at the town hall? And during the election, why did their town vote for Mikie Sherrill? Medford and Medford Lakes. I'm not sure if Medford Lakes gets the same thing here. But those are the two that I saw. Why did they do that? Okay. Continue to do it. This is what the result is every single time. Yeah, but it goes back to Mount Laurel. I studied the Mount Laurel thing when I was at Rutgers Law School. I realized that's back to 1975. Yeah, well, someday you'd have to do it. You know what? You have to fight them every inch, every day, every penny, every tax, every regulation. Never give in. Don't vote for any of them. Every Democrat is going to do what Mikie Sherrill does. Or if they're a quote, moderate, they're going to enable it, like the people with Krasner. Look at what they did. They voted in unison here recently in Pennsylvania to take away scholarships from poor kids, school choice. Why? Because of the stinking teachers unions. And those two alleged Republicans, I'm looking at you, Joe Rogan, accolite of Brian Fitzpatrick, and Ms. Tomlinson, accolite of funeral directing.

24:55

I'm never going to let up on the two of you until I see your voting record changing this. It's unforgivable to vote with Democrats on taking away Scott. You heard the Reverend with me recently. It was racist on top of it. We asked him to come on. We asked every one of them. They're not coming on. They think you won't know it. Remember those two names. They voted with the Democrats. And Medford? Did you learn your lesson? What are you going to do now? Move out of Medford. Wherever you move, Mikie Sherrill and her minions, they're coming for you. They know better what the quality of life should be in a nice place like Medford. The quality of life in Medford over the next few years is going to be worse. You know it and I know it. There's no way you're going to accommodate all this nonsense. I don't even know if this is enough for them ultimately. Supposed they say, well, that worked out, but we need more of this. All right, I'm coming to you. All time taking one for the team. We've gotten some great answers today. And the Zohran Mamdani thing is at a level that's unbelievable now. It is unforgivable. But look, people want communism. They want socialism. They voted for it in New York. People in Medford were dummies. They voted for Mikie Sherrill, not overwhelmingly. But if she can win in places like that, then in the Camden's of the world, you know what's going to happen. Why would you vote for that? Why wouldn't you vote to fight as long as you could to stop them? Why is the attitude not the Alamo attitude versus the guy we played you? Oh, what are we going to do? The court system, fight them. That's what your residents want to do. Fight them. They don't want to give in to this quality of life of 200 affordable homes. They don't. They want a better community. That's why they move to Medford. And now it's going to be a bit worse, if not a lot worse. 855, 839, 1210. Tom Chiodato on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. Hey, welcome in, everyone. Dom Gerdano's show, 85583, 9, 12, 10. Hit us with that all-time taking one for the team is what we're looking for. And I'm not sure when the Kirk trial is going to end, but even a cursory look at it, they're being very transparent, shows where this leads. And the Kirk family to have to go to this level in order to try to silence. Just the lowest stuff from Candace Owens and someone from Tucker Carlson is amazing. How much information do you hear Scott Presler address that? Let's go to Joe in Columbus. And Joe, you're on Talk Radio 1210. Hi, Joe. Hi, Dom. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. We talked about this before, but I want to tell you in a little more detail how dumb Medford is. Medford is one of the three or four garden spots in Burlington County, along with Morristown and Columbus, where we have learned to pay higher taxes for what you said, quality of life. You hold off...

28:17

you know, with every ounce of your fiber for low-income housing, in lieu of paying a little higher tax. Well, guess what, Medford? Now you just are gone your quality of life because your taxes are going to go up because of the school demand, the school load. So they just didn't get it. I'd like to blame this on the borough that's made up of a bunch of artsy-fartsy liberals, but I cannot understand how the township, the very affluent township went for this. And Joe, Joe, 167 units, houses. That's the load on the school district, though. Yeah, that's a tremendous load. You know, we hold off on it, how and whenever we can. We know our taxes are going to go up, but it's the lesser of all evils. Send it on somebody else. You know, when these developers build their houses, they look for other places, you know, for the COA credits to build. And, you know, don't let them come to your town. Do not let them come to your town. And I just can't believe that message did not resonate with the residents of Medford. I think a lot of them did, Joe, but they didn't vote that way. And two, the people that are on their counsel, you heard that you talk about surrender. Well, you know, in other cases and all, you've got to fight this. Who knows someday, maybe it'll be some way of relief out of this. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, and like I said before, prior, Medford has such a voice. They could not hold sway. It just, it just perplexes me. It did from the gecko, you know, when we first talked about it. And Dom, I'd also like to talk about Zohran Mamdani. This guy has no respect or maybe a historical recollection of the history of the people who voted him in. I mean, yeah, Spanish Harlem. Somebody should require him to go to the Feast of Lights. this fall and force feet a canoli down as throat well uh joe i was unaware too of hell's kitchen that's one good thing out of this in the irish but i would argue as prominent as the italians were the irish the firefighters the cops the builders uh not a mention and even harlem not mentioned in here it's amazing No, everybody pulled their weight and brought their own, their specific expertise into that town. And he's totally ignoring it. Yeah, he's well on his way to destruction here, Joe, on an unparalleled level. And sometimes relatively offbeat stuff like this is what sticks to see what we're up against here.

31:10

Sure. If you're going to fail, fail big. Yeah. You know, so it's very visible. Now, my side answer is, and I can't figure out what team it was taken for, but how do you get abused, fall asleep with, and wake up in a canoodle with that abuser and say he's still good for the state of Maine? And that is Graham's, Graham's, Graham's girlfriend. Or you mean the wife? I'm not sure which one. No, no. The girlfriend, the girlfriend, who he came in drunk as a skunk and sexually abused her. And she let him sleep there that night. Oh, I see what I was. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, whatever the one he was taking the condom off and she wasn't using birth control and he knew it repeatedly for fun. What the heck? Yeah. Don't ask, don't ask me to dissect that one, Dom. My God. I mean, you can't write this. That's what jumped out to me. My God. But the most recent one, or the second most recent one who said, I believe he's still good for Maine. And I would vote for it. Oh, yeah, that's it. Yeah. She's taking it for God knows what reason. All right. 855, 839, 12, 10. All right. I don't know. Drew has got a foot in both camps. He's my big fat Greek wedding. Right. But he's only, he didn't get to the reception. He only gets half of it. Exactly. Yeah, he's Upper Darby, the Greek Capitol here on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Drew, we have to do. Hey, Dom. Thanks a lot, man. I appreciate it. You know, Dom. When my father's family from Greece, when they came to America, they settled in West Philadelphia. There was a pretty large contingent of Greeks in West Philadelphia. And then when St. Demetrius Church was built in the Cardington section of Upper Darby... A lot of them move there along to the Bywood section of Upper Darby. I know Bywood well. Roez Relatives there, Jerry. I know Bywood well, yeah. You know what? Bywood's a big fan of cul-de-sacs that you can't find your way out of. I'm just saying. It certainly is. There's plenty of our share, too. Yes. But we all get along. It's great. And then, but the more successful Greeks. The ones who really did well, they moved a lot of moved the brew mall. And as a joke, we called it Broomapolis. Because a lot of the Greeks went to Broomall. But, uh, hey, I don't want to change up. I hope it's okay. I'm sure thinking. And in March of 1981, uh, the assassination attempt on. President Reagan, the secret survey agent, I think his name was Kevin McCarthy. He actually took a bullet for Reagan, as well as the press secretary and the Washington, D.C. policeman. However, it was McCarthy who actually took one for the team with a bullet.

34:17

Yeah, that's it. And that's what I'd still like to believe the Secret Service would do. That's why we always admired them, but they've been a little bit sketchy, to put it mildly. All right, it is the lightning round. This is a great question. Took one for the team. Could be real, could be fictional. That's what we're looking for. And if you've just been joining this hour, we found out earlier this morning, the Zohran Mamdani office put up. 30, I believe it is, of the prominent immigrant enclaves, their words, and some kind of big campaign in New York. And yet, they didn't put Little Italy, Mulberry Street. They didn't put Hell's Kitchen, the Irish. They certainly didn't put up Greek town or anything Greek. And yet, they have all kinds of non-European, from one of a better term, like Little Manila, Little Yemen. How many people are in Little Yemen there? versus the people that are actually the fabric of the city. And this is one of those things where it's not a big policy thing or whatever, but it shows who's running New York now, what they're about. And maybe it's over the top to say it's erasure of the old New York. But yeah, they don't like it. They don't like any of that stuff. And they're in power, and they're going to continue to fool with it. Now, is there any way Republicans... can leverage Zohran Mamdani into the midterms. All right, he's a prime target. You can't do anything more prominent than what this guy is espousing and being the mayor of New York. Lightning round, though, 855-839-1210, jump on board. Tom Chirado on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning round. That is right every day at this time. Hinnis with the answer to the side question. Great one today from Robert, which is an all-time person who took one for the team. By the way, Newsweek reporting today that President Trump's approval rating from the spring from April is up. And here's why that's important. It's Nate Silver, of all people. What this does, the president's approval rating starts to chart how that will play out in congressional races is the point they make. So look, the ball field is all set for Republicans due to those Supreme Court decisions, due to the redistricting, due to the money decision, and the fact that Trump, surprisingly or not, is doing better maybe because of how crazy Democrats have portrayed themselves. It's winnable. All we need is what is it they're going to conjure up to turn out the reluctant voter. I hate to say it that way. That's what it comes down to. I still say it's going to be close within two or three seats. And it will depend upon a million things between now and that. All right. Michael in Wilmington is on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Michael. Hey, Dom. How are you? My good sir. Another great show today. Thanks, Michael. A lot of great topic. Yes. Just want to quickly just add, you know, I grew up in a Polish heritage. My mom was 100% from Poland and like my grandfather as well who, you know, came from Poland, but was in Chicago and came to Fort Washington.

37:48

But I never considered myself Polish-American. Just want to say always American, but I always valued my Polish heritage. And, yeah, my mom kept some really good traditions, but always raised us, my brother and my sister and I, as American. But we always, you know, remembered our Polish heritage. So just wanted to say, like, I never would ever consider myself Polish-American because I was born and raised here. But definitely I would say, hey, what's your heritage or, you know, nationality? Yeah, you know, Polish. but always American. Well, you should be proud that the Zohran Mamdani people overlook the polls, and there is a little polling on the map here, Mike. You know, you know, Dom, it's funny. The polls always get a little bit, kind of little sided, and that's okay. I mean, there's a small community filled up, you know, up by Fishtown, but it's all good. I mean, I knew they were going to overlook us anyway, but I'm still proud of it. All good. Good. What's your side, Michael? But. Yeah, Side Dom is the person I thought of was back in the women's gymnastics Olympics was Kerry Strug. She had a broken ankle, wasn't sure if she was going to be able to make it, and she actually still completed the vault on a broken ankle for the women. Yep. Yeah, win the gold medal. It was incredible. And talk about taking one for the team. She really did. So that's my side, Dom. All right, that was painful to watch, but accurate. That's a good one. I think we're going classical here, big time classical. Joe of Exton. Joe, what do you have today? Oh, yes. Hello, Dom. Good afternoon. With a people of a hat to Zenos in ancient Greek history, Odysseus. had his crew tie him to a mast. And he had the crew put plugs into their ears to avoid crashing into the rocks as they sailed past the sirens. That is a very good one. I don't know if they flew past the island of Lesbos at that point or not. I know it's an historical record. I know the film, we got to cut tomorrow of somebody in the film that's coming out, talking about how much gold was stowed, even though... It didn't exist, so I don't know how it was stolen, but we'll get into that. John and Yardley gone fictional, I think, but a good one. Very old film. John, who's yours? Well, if we're going to go with fiction, I think, one of the greatest characters in fiction, maybe the one against whom all others should be measured. First, a book by Rudyard Kipling, and subsequently a very popular film that you still have to pay to watch, by the way, has that? Yeah. The most selfless man in literature, Gunga Dinn. Oh, that is a great one. John, by the way, did you have a professional background in communications or something? You have a beautiful pacing. Oh, thank you. I've done some community theater. I did have a classical music program when I was at Penn State.

40:57

Okay. All right, John. A nice accent. Very pleasing. Yeah, Gungadine. Bring water, Gungadine. Gungadden. I forget the film that. I don't know. I don't know. It's a classic. It's got to be 70 years old. Chef Dave in Oakland. All right, Dave, who do you have? I have the Marine Corps Medal of Honor winner John Bethelone from New Jersey. Basically, he had, you know, we won the Medal of Honor on Guadalcanal for a whole month, 3,000 Japanese by himself, had survivors guilt, got married, went back to be with his men, and he died on Iwo Jima. Took one for the team. Thank you, Chef Dave, very much. I might add, why am I blanket in his name, too. The guy who turned down $18 million was a strong safety for the, were they the Phoenix Cardinals in, or were they still in St. Louis, and died, Army Ranger. Yes, Pat Tillman. And the NFL could not, just for one week or whatever, instead of the yellow line, put the red, white, and blue line there in his eye. You know, come on. proving once again don't do your flyovers don't do anything else that would have been taking on for the team gary in newtown hey garre what's yours today hey dom i'm going to have to nominate gary from newtown today because he had to take one for the team with his prostate exam while he was on hold oh my god what the heck wow that's a heck of an exam It was a digital baby. It was a digital. Thank you. I should have put the doctor on, hey, doc, how's it going there? He wanted to know who was on hold. I said, it's just my insurance company. You should have told him the Dom Gerdano show. He would say, what, that guy? You let me put me on there. Yes. So I'm going to pull a groove. I'm going to change my answer. And if somebody called in with it, I apologize. But I'm going to go with Walt Kowalski in Grand Torino. Not only did he sacrifice him himself at the end. In uncleas-wood-like style, instead of pulling out a gun, he reached in his pocket to grab a lighter or a cigarette. I can't remember. Yeah, that is a good one. I just don't think it quite fits. I get the beauty of it. I get what he was going with. He did it for the neighborhood. Yeah, but you're relying on a system that Clint Eastwood's character would think these guys never going to do the right thing here. Otherwise, these animals wouldn't have been able to do what they did. Maybe a better ending. Let the other character with him both go. Take them out. Now you wouldn't have done that. You locked him in his cellar. Can't kill Tow. When they give him the phone with the big letters on it, all the family. Oh, my God. Yikes. Yikes. Bruce in the Northeast on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Bruce, what's yours today? Hey, Dom, good afternoon. Now, I know the quote is, if I have one life to live, I regret.

44:03

How did that go now, Dom? Yeah, to George Costanza, yes, yeah. I was doing for my country. I just blew it. But that was Nathan Hill. Am I correct? Absolutely. I regret that I only have but one life to offer for Mike. Now I'm doing it. For my country. All right. Kirk, these have been brilliant today. What did you sluice out here? I'm going to go with Zenos with Flight 93. Okay. Yeah, tough one to beat, and there was a lot of great ones. It's hard to narrow it down. I like Michael Wilmington's answer of Carrie Strug and Joe next to him with Odysseus. Yeah, Odysseus was a heck of an out-of-the-box. I've got to go with Flight 93, though. I think Greg called in with it. That is a little bit difficult to top. All right. Zenos is the winner today. Zenos should go into the hat. Well, how official? How would you like to see Zenos with Zohran Mamdani, the salami? Whoa. We'll have more on that tomorrow. That is not going away easily what they did in New York. And I think Victoria Coates maybe might be back. What a week to have her just back from Israel. And I'll ask her. Why Zohran Mamdani over Benjamin Netanyahu, who she's met and knows in his talk with? All that, the afternoon show, is on deck for three big hours. Follow on Twitter at Dom Show 1210 at Dom Show 1210. A lot to talk about tomorrow. Thanks to Henry and Kirk. Talk Radio 1210, WPHT.
