It is Dom time. Welcome in. So World Cup coming our way. I know. Traffic downtown Philadelphia. You can tell already. Ebola in the news again. We're contacted by Health and Human Services, and we're really happy to bring you Admiral Brian Christine, MD, Assistant Secretary for Health and head of the United States Public Health Service Commission's Corps. The Admiral joins us here in Philadelphia on the Dom Jir-Dano Show. Admiral, thanks for the availability. Thanks for joining us today. No, Dom, thanks for having me on. I really appreciate it. I hope you're doing well. Yeah, absolutely. So I remember of what we were actually broadcasting from my alumni, LaSalle University. We had a deal with them. They were on with a lot of stuff. And it was a remote broadcast over there at that time because of Ebola. and the fears of that, and I think there were a few Americans, Admiral, who contracted it. Would they come back here? You may remember that. What's the status right now, and where in the world is they're concerned over Ebola? Yeah, and I think you're talking about, tell me if I'm wrong, I think you're talking about the 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak in Liberia, exactly. So what we have now, let me start off by saying this. Before I get it, before I start, what I want people to understand is that the focus of the administration is to keep Ebola from entering the United States. That is our main focus. There has been an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. That's where most of the cases are. There are a few cases in Uganda. And so what we are doing is we are working with our international partners. to stop that outbreak at its source there in DRC and make sure we prevent it from spreading to the surrounding countries. So we are actively engaged in there, sending money and resources to help that part of the world because of our commitment to helping maintain good health around the globe. We feel that's our responsibility. But our primary concern, I want to make it clear. is to prevent Ebola from entering the United States. And that is our main focus. So I want to delay the groundwork by saying that because I want to allay any kind of fears that there might be for people in this country. The risk of getting Ebola for people in the United States is very, very, very low. And we are focused.
on preventing it from entering the country. I love the preamble. I think that is so wise, and that's exactly what we want you doing. You know that's every sense. You sound like one of those docs, too, if I came to you, you know, everybody's a little bit hypochondriac, and you go, get out of here. You're fine. Go run a marathon, Dom. Don't you as a doctor. When you go to a doctor, then you say, ah, get out of here. You know, you don't want to hear, well, there's one out of a trillion shot, you know. No, but I mean, and I think that's a really good point. And understand that we aren't simply not taking this outbreak seriously. This is a serious outbreak of Ebola in that part of the world. We do take it very seriously. There are probably going to be more cases as time goes on. But again, our focus is protecting the citizens of America. And one of the things that we are doing is, because we do have american citizens in the democratic republic of congo who have potentially been exposed to the disease We are working with the Department of War, the Department of State, my officers of the Public Health Service, and with the CDC, and we are establishing a quarantine facility in Kenya in a city called Lyquipia, Kenya. That facility, we are literally building it from the ground up. Again, with the Department of War, with the Public Health Service, Department of State, we are building a facility to quarantine Americans who may have been exposed to the Ebola virus. These are individuals who may have been exposed. They're asymptomatic. We'll be able to quarantine them. The incubation period for this particular strain of Ebola is anywhere from 2 to 21 days. So they'll be able to quarantine for 21 days. And then if they wish to come back to the United States, they can do so. If during the time they're quarantined, we will have the availability and the ability at that site to fully treat individuals who may become symptomatic. or Americans who may test positive for Ebola. In fact, this facility is being built by the Department of War, kind of the heart assets. But it's my public health service officers who are staffing it to provide care. And a number of those officers were in Liberia in 2014, 2050. So we have tremendous experience. What we have done for American citizens who are overseas, we are building a state-of-the-art facility. that will have monoclonal antibodies. It will have everything needed to properly quarantine and, if needed, isolate and treat until we can evacuate people, if needed, to a tertiary medical center. Again, that's what we're doing for our citizens overseas. For citizens here in the U.S., like I said, we are focused on preventing Ebola from getting in. People are concerned. about the World Cup event coming up. So let me tell you, I don't want Americans to be concerned because we have restricted access to this country from the Democratic Republic of Congo, from South Sudan, and from Uganda. The State Department has worked with the governments of Mexico and Canada, the other World Cup countries. We are keeping individuals who may have been exposed to Ebola, keeping them out through that incubation period. They can't get into the U.S.
individuals from that part of the world who would have not been to those countries for greater than 21 days. We're having them come through very specific airports to the U.S. where there's enhanced screening, another layer of protection. And so the point, Dom, is that we are doing everything on our borders that we can do to protect American citizens. We're doing what we need to do for our citizens who are in that part of the world for quarantining and such. We are taking this seriously. We're doing the right things. I feel very good about the efforts that we've made across the government to do the right things for Americans. And I think, Admiral, it seems like dollars well spent. You know, sometimes we think we're just throwing money around all over the place. This is very targeted and very much on top of it. And I can imagine you're going to not be watching so much soccer, but really being on top of this during the World Cup. I wanted to ask you, And I don't know how you would have a metric, but you mentioned borders. You just mentioned the word with the border being shut over the years that I've done talk radio. And the worryment many times was we're having people come in that are coming in illegally. There's no health check, whatever. They're coming in illegally. And all kinds of diseases, there were spasms of this over the years. Thank God it never reached this level. Has that helped? with the border the proper procedures being there and you can't come in are we cutting down on these diseases well we i think the border security that we see under president trump is absolutely unprecedented it is so different from the prior administration you know those illegal crossings have gone down my understanding is to virtually nothing and so By extension, you would think that is certainly helping. I think his border security, you know, what the Department of Homeland Security, the Border Patrol under President Trump's leadership is doing, I think certainly does have potential public health benefit to this country. What is it that keeps you up at night, if anything, now that's out there that's a concern? Is the hand of virus? Is the cruise ship situation? Does that seem to have calmed down? Is there anything else on the horizon that you're really keeping a watchful eye on? No, you know, you raise the hentavirus question, and I appreciate that. You know, those individuals, those American citizens who have been on the ship, they had been quarantining and isolating at a facility, at a state-of-the-art facility at the University of Nebraska, a medical containment unit, those individuals now are starting because they've moved through the majority of their quarantine. They've started now to leave that facility to go to their home states where they will continue the rest of their quarantine under the supervision of their state health departments. So those individuals are moving out. I think that has gone very well. We really responded vigorously as a government and as a public health service and as a government to do the right thing with antivirus. That, praise God, is working its way through going well. We're going to be sure we don't let Ebola into this country. We're going to do everything to prevent that.
No, I feel really good about those things. And in general, I'll just tell you, under the leadership of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., the Department of Health and Human Services is winning every day for the American people, whether it be the new dietary guidelines, giving us better food, encouraging individuals to be active, what we have done to protect vulnerable young boys and girls with gender dysphoria. telling the American people, no, it's not right to use chemicals and mutilating surgeries, but really protecting these kids. We're delivering wins every day at HHS, and I'm really proud of that. Absolutely. You should be. And what in addition. We do hope you'll keep us on your list on any issue, Admiral. We'd love to talk with you again. Thanks for the great work and encouragement today. Absolutely. Listen, God bless you and thank you so much. Admiral Brian Christine, definitely one of those doctors. Get out of here, you know. That's one of George Costan's top ten moments, you know. When the guy goes, well, I don't know. What do you mean? You don't know. Lopez? Who are? Is it Lucas? We'll all come in and we'll sit down, the raisins, you know. We'll talk about. All right. They asked to come on with us, and I got a lot more, you know, sometimes with these things, you got to prod people along. What about this? What about that boy? That was buttoned up. All right, Andy McCarthy, and we'll get them on maybe tomorrow. On the congressman to be from the 12th congressional district in New Jersey, he went on a road trip, Andy was telling Fox with the blind cheek. How, even in Jersey, they don't care, the secret sauce. If you can get Jew hatred in there, anti-Semitism, Gaza, genocide, just keep saying it. It's affordability, Gaza. They're going to elect you. They can't get enough of it. They've been tick-tocked up with this. Yes, Benjamin Netanyahu, get him the whole thing. Henry, what was the age of Benjamin Netanyahu? Did you look him up? I said he's over 55, but I don't think that much. I'd say under 65 anyhow. He's 76. Whoa. Wait, Benjamin Netanyahu is 76? He doesn't look at it. He's been around that long, yeah. Wow. Looks good. It looks good for age. Yeah, I've been chasing him for 20 years to get him on. So there we go. When we went to Israel, that's my first. The guy goes, Dom, you're killing me. I can get you. I want one guy. Benjamin Netanyahu is sitting in front of me. So Dan didn't deliver on several. Henry, what's your bucket list here? I'm trying to remember with Dan, was it? He didn't deliver on Krasner, Jim Kenny, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Pope. Pick any one of these. I'll add those to my list. Yeah, you probably have a sports one. You have somebody you want. Bill Belichick. All right, first question. All right, I got a new book out on football defenses. Coach, tell us how do we defend against gold digger dingbats that's your girlfriend. That's what I want to know. What's a defense? How do we pick up checks at the ball? How did you do it? How did you do it? Was it the cutoff sweatshirt? Oh, my God. 855-8-3. He's still at North Carolina, too, right? They still haven't moved on from that. Oh, my God. It's only been a year. I know, but it seemed like 50 there with this. The saga was bad, yeah. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Okay, hit us with that all-timer. Let me go to Gary in Newtown on Talk Radio 12-10. Hey, Gary, welcome in.
And so it goes. Okay. And so it goes. I promise, Henry, it will end at Mulligans on June 19. Oh, okay. I'm going to get a grand finale or something. Yeah, grand finale there, signing up the armistice, yes. Grand finale, I will be handing out those horns to everybody that goes in. Nice. He shouldn't like hire a band or something. Wait, now I don't know if I approve that. I got to do a show over top of this and stuff here. I already talked to Johnny. Johnny said, do whatever I want. Oh, okay. We'll get Johnny. He trumps you. Yeah. By the way, Central Jersey, I know Joe's from there. I know Kirk here from there, but I want you to hear me out. Central Jersey, in my opinion, my opinion is from 33. Twin Rivers, all the way to the Gardens Day Parkway, take the Gardens Day Parkway to the Atlantic City Expressway and take that back. That's central Jersey to me, because it's all farmland in between there. Yeah, that's true. I'll give you that. I'll give you that, Gary. I'll give you that. Yep. So who's your person, Gary? Well, I got to ask you, I got to ask Dom a question. Yes. Uh-oh. Do you have any pictures of Roe when she was pregnant with either DJ? And I'm forgetting the other... Oh, Luke. Luke, or Luke. Do you have pictures of when she's pregnant? Yes, yes. Okay, with the Internet of Things, with the AI, with everything, we can still cannot find any pictures of Michelle Obama during her pregnancy, and one was born in 98, the other was born in 2001, and I'm going with, she will be relevant as Big Mike. Okay. All right, there we go. All right, all that for that. Bro, get those pictures out. 855-839-1210 on talk radio 1210 watching the California results as they trickle in it'll take forever but Hilton is still on track to be the leader ultimately and these runoffs The runoff to me is as bad as the inability to vote. You know, I vote present. No, you're not present. Chrissy Hoyan, how do you vote? I'm present. No, you're not. You have to vote. Does the job say, I will be present in Congress? Or does it say I'll be your vote in Congress? Same thing with this. Whoever won in California ought to win now. So we'll see. Those two, the Republican and Democrat, are on track for the runoff. And Karen Bass and the Pratt guy are on track for a runoff for the mayor of L.A. But the story that's getting headlines today, and rightfully so, despite the fact, for, you know, just off-year primary, those are pretty big stories, is this guy from the 12th Congressional District, plastic surgeon, Egyptian-born, who...
ran on attacking Jews and is the buddy of the blind cheek who tried to kill us. How in the world? Well, you know, there's ignorance out there among other things, but I don't think they care. They want somebody who's going to go after Jews as much as they want somebody who's going to go after Trump in places like Jersey. That's what does it. Hasan Piker is his buddy too. All right, 855-839-12-10. You get on board. We've got a lot more coming up. Hope to get with George Peketto about what happened in this call around the slavery exhibit, which is critical as we approach America 250 because Al Sharpton and others are having their own event, America not 250. We had Markwayne Mullin Mowen today. Henry, do we have any more of that? I don't know, that one from Grabeon. Oh, yeah, yeah. Do you have that or work on it? You have it? Okay. Here's Markwayne Mullin Mowen with, which was this from Ramirez, Representative Ramirez asking about the food again. These are all chefs at Delaney Hall. You heard Jeff Van Drew yesterday about the lie detector tests. We're on that. Here's Ramirez and Markwayne Mullin Mowen, the head of Department of Homeland Security, talking about the food and conditions at Delaney Hall. So, Secretary, are you familiar with the ICE National Detention Standards Standard for Food Service that establishes that food and ICE attention must be nutritious and hygienic? Are you familiar with the standard? That's a pretty easy yes or no. Are you familiar with the standard? Thank you. So given ISIS standards and reports of decaying food confirmed by congressional oversight, would you retract your comments dismissing detainees concerns about rotten food as a desire for ethnic food? Would you retract those comments? I didn't say rotten food. I said they wanted ethnic correct food, and I said this isn't a holiday end. We're not providing that. But we did release the menu. And if you saw a time, if you look time to look at the menu, it's pretty good through. Okay. All right, yeah, this isn't the holiday end. All right, you heard of Andrew yesterday a workout fanatic talking about The facility's there. So is it great? No, it's you're being detained. It's a prison of sorts. You get deported. 855-839-1210. Grab a line who will be culturally relevant 100 years from now. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, Tom Chiridano's show. In just a moment, I'll take a couple calls. A lot of people have been waiting. We'll play you. Scott Pelley, who got fired yesterday, and rightfully so, tomorrow, probably the side question, the most pompous preening. A 2012 election, we were still connected with CBS before Odyssey. And we were in Tampa. And yes, there did seem to be strip clubs every 15 feet, among other things. It was the Mitt Romney Convention. I remember, and Henry got a picture of this with a mob chasing after him, and I'm balancing. I got Giuliani one-on-one. It was still pretty big at that point. But I'm facing him, and my back is on an escalator going down with all these people shoving and holding the mic and holding grabbing on. I still didn't touch the side. Remember germs? Yeah, of course. Of course. But at that convention.
In 2012, we were ushered into this fancy room, all decorated, and people quaffing his hair with Scott Pelling, who was then, I believe, the CBS Evening News anchor. I've not seen a more pompous, just to get a word out. program director wasn't Greg. It's a friend of mine. Ed Palladino is there with me and he's shutting his eyes saying, don't, don't try to speak too quickly. Let him go if he takes 45 minutes to say anything. And I'm getting delirious. You know, because quicker, quicker. Come on. I had to get out. Let's get out of there. Less is more. I can take it anymore. So here's what he did and the visual, YouTube.com slash 1210. This is the graduation speech at Wake Forest. Was it a year or two ago? Yeah. where he just, the drawing out with the hands, this guy is just used to making millions of dollars, producing a couple things a year, and now attacking Bari Weiss and the new people of CBS who were there because of the bias at CBS, including 60 minutes. So here's how it sounded with Scott Pelley and the graduation speech. But in this moment, this moment, this morning. Our sacred rule of law is under attack. Trump. Trump. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack. And insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes. and into our private thoughts. The fear to speak in America. Power can rewrite history with grotesque false narratives. They can make criminals, heroes, and heroes, criminals. Power can change the definition of the words we use to describe reality. Diversity is now described as illegal. Equity is to be shunned. Inclusion is a dirty word. This is an old playbook, my friends. There's nothing new in this. All right, Scotty, maybe some definition there of equity. That's the one that it goes. No one's saying diversity is a dirty word. But equity, what does that mean? What do you mean by it? What does that mean in public policy? But the pomposity of this guy, I mean. I once had quite a chat, Henry, with this is the all time. I wish you were with me for this. I was invited by the head of the Democrat Party. Don't ask, you had a book, Party in Washington. Orishnikov is there with Chelsea. I think they were dating. Bill Clinton was there. Hillary was there. O'Reilly walks in and the whole room stops. He was at his height of his power. And I'm standing there with Mike Wallace.
Don't know who the other woman was and Barbara Walters. And I say, Ms. Walters, you know, those women on the view, how are they chosen? Oh, man. Mike Wallace walks away. He doesn't want to hear any of this yet. Yeah. And she starts a launch. These are the most interesting women in America. I think at that time, what's the name? Was O'Donnell's still on there? I think she could have been. Star Parker. This sound like an all-star team of the most interesting women in America. But you know what? I would take them over Sonny Hosten. I really would. That's how bad is. Oh, yeah. Just, I mean, they're harmless. She's just, I'm a lawyer. I, Lance in South Philly on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Lance, welcome in. Hey, how you doing, Dom? You know, a true Lodite wouldn't even be on the radio. That's right. You'll be using two cans. You'll be using two cans in the street. You know, these guys would, listen, these guys laying throwing around. These guys saying you're a Luddite and AI is going to cure cancer. Yeah, I'll take a pizza bet on it against AI here. I don't think, you know, the Lodite comes out of the U.K. I'm in the garment industry. Yes. They was against the upgrade of the machinery. Yes. They wanted to remain doing it the old way, which was so. And they was afraid that the new technology would ruin everything. And that's where it comes from the Lodite. You're probably still using the quill pen. You're right. And the thing of it is, look. Mickey Mantle. Yes. Go ahead, Lance. I said, you know, Mickey Mantle, he didn't make murderous rope. Well, he wasn't on the 27 Yankees, so. No, but right, he wasn't on it. I think that was, my memory serves as Babe Ruth. Lou Gehrick, Tony Lazarie, and, uh, uh, um, sucks. I'm forgetting the last guy. But he was on the team. I mean, he, he eventually played on the, on the Yankees. Yeah, of course. Well, he's, he's the guy, though, the name, the whole thing, other than Babe Ruth, it's Mickey Mantle. Oh, no doubt, no doubt. That's without question. Okay. But when I think that the Yankees, I always think of murderers. Oh, yeah, it was a great, yeah, the Sultan of Squat, SWAT, and the other night, the Larry David playing, Larry David playing the owner of the Yankees. And down. Steinbrenner. Steinbrenner saying, yeah. Go ahead, Lance. You didn't get to ask the rear armor. Why is the rear armor? You could ask me. Why is that? You're on a Navy, man. Yeah, why is that? There's a rear ammo, lower half, which is one star, rear admiral, upper half, two star, vice admiral, three star, and the admiral is four star. Why is he called the rear admiral? Because the rear admiral takes control of the rear of the fleet.
They can't all hell break loose and the front of the fleet gets destroyed. They're still leadership. Okay. They're still leadership because, you know, the aircraft carrier is up front and it's surrounded by destroyers. So if something happens, the back of the fleet has to take command, and that's why you have a rear admiral. All right. I thought it was a more colorful answer, but I trust you on that. So what's your side? I'm going to go with Tommy John. Because that surgery allowed pictures to play long. I have a very long career. And that surgery is going to be around in 100 years. It is. And that name is going to be synonymous in 100 years. Thank you, Lance. That's a great one. Henry, I think he belongs in the Hall of Fame. How about you? No. 288 wins in a day that these guys struggle to get 200. I know, I know, but he was a compiler. Yeah, that's true. He might get in, you know, just because Harold Paines got in. Right. Because Harold Baines was all he was as a hitter was a compiler. Right. But no, as far as, you know, being the best in the league, he never was. He never was. He was a four-time All-Star. He was never in the Cy Young running, really. I know one year he was, but yeah. No, not a Hall-Pamer. Not a Hall of him. Even though you had great conversations with him. Or his guy, at least. We never got him on. It was my fault. No, we got him on. That's right. He did come on. We wanted him here in person. He was having a little health issue. Oh, that's right. That's right. 855, 839, 12, 10. So hit us with somebody who will be culturally relevant. Yeah, Tommy John surgery. I think that's a really good one. That's a carryover that works. Again, well, coming up. And, Henry, is this at the beginning? Because I know it's five minutes of it. We don't need five minutes of Senator Warren. She's on CNBC, right? Is this nearer to begin? They asked her, how would this tax on millionaires and billionaires affect her net worth? And she can't answer. She doesn't know what her net worth is. Isn't that interesting? I mean, don't people walk around with a pretty good idea of what you're... Remember Mikie Sherrill? Oh, my husband handles that. She was worth like $7, $8 million. My husband handles all that, but I want to be in charge of a gazillion dollar budget. How does Elizabeth Warren not have an idea of her net worth and how that would impact her being taxed? All right, 855, 839, 1210. Tom Chiridano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, coming to your calls, great ones today. Somebody who's still be culturally relevant 100 years from now. Marilyn Monroe's 100th birthday was just the last few days. 855-8391210. That's how you get on board. So, CNBC sometimes gets on a gaggle of people that are in the news. And today they did have Elizabeth Warren and all these others. They're talking about the billionaires tax slash millionaires tax. And how would that impact Elizabeth Warren and her husband? You know, she has to know round about her net worth, right? It can't be that monumental. Here's how it sounded.
On your, it's incentivizing you to buy a home because you get the tax benefits that come with that. There are all sorts of behaviors that we incentivize. When you talk to people in the country, the same normal people you're always talking about, they see how much they're tax now. And it might be, I don't know, 60% if you're at a certain level in New York, in New Jersey, that's what you're total. Taxes at Bill Maher the other day. And you see how the money is spent. And you see what's being uncovered now on how it's being spent. And the idea that this is still not enough what the federal government is spending right now. You want to ramp it up, tax everybody up with billionaires and maybe even below that and not even reduce the deficit. You want to even use that to spend more on Medicaid fraud. And on all these. Let's. It goes through the cracks and doesn't work. Let's turn it around. More? You want more? Let's turn it around the other way. Let's turn it around the other way. If half of the wealth tax went to reducing the deficit, would you support it then? I'd at least listen a little bit more. You would listen a little more. But it's still not enough, though, Senator. How do you know it's not enough? Have you looked at the numbers on this? I have done the math on this. What's the total you could raise? On the, well, it's now gone up. Well, you want to go to $50 million now, 2% down to $50 million. I want above $50 million. Your first $50 million in wealth is free and clear. Your $50 million in the first dollar, you have to pay a $2 tax on. Right. Is that such a big deal? I mean, philosophically, I think it's a pretty big deal. You think it's a big deal? I do, because you paid money to accrue that. Did you pay money to buy your house? I understand. You can go the property tax. And you pay, you pay a property tax on that. That's for services. It for services and for the school. You pay tax on services. Okay, Amber, you got it here. So it never ends is the bottom line here. They will not stop with this. testimony again today. And I'm like you. I want to see numbers when we get Dr. Oswald. I want to know how many of these people with Medicaid fraud, one of the deputy assistants for Health and Human Services, Medicaid fraud in Columbus, Ohio. Apparently, it's an ethnic group again. I believe Somali's there too. And the one guy is a full-time rapper. Park time, though, he's on Medicaid. He still gets Medicaid. Even though the father has a $70 million they got in Medicaid payments and they're living it off that and they have pictures and everything else. The Medicaid fraud is ramp. And what I want to know is this. When are they coming to Philadelphia? I would put more people on this. We should be putting easily 25,000 people, if not 50,000 people in jail by the end of the year. on Medicaid fraud and various frauds around home health care, this, that, and the other. I'm trying to lowball. It could be a half a million. Bring in more judges, bring in more courts, bring in more people analyzing this stuff. How do they get away with it in Minnesota? Well, the state government is complicit. Thank God for Nick Shirley there, who broke some of this loose. What about here in Philadelphia?
And again, Philadelphia is fraudulent, corrupt, as any place you're going to find. A place like Chicago. Dr. Oz came on the show, L.A., Van Nuys. What did he say? There were like a hundred in a four-block area of people in transitory care, palliative care. They didn't exist. It wasn't there. It's made up. This stuff is made up big time on hospice. made up big time. So the idea that we're going to tax more and they're going to spend more is exactly where this is going. I still think the headline story of the day, despite the good news, it still looks like Hilton is going to be in the runoff for governor and is ahead. It's going to be interesting without the other Democrats in there. Now what will happen? And it looks like Pratt is still going to be right there, maybe three, four points behind Bass in California. But the staggering story is, and we'll get Andy McCarthy on tomorrow. I think he'll come on tomorrow. He was the U.S. federal attorney. That's how he made his name in the federal case against a blind cheek. And the guy that people in Jersey just made the nominee, and I guess the congressman in that district, is a plastic surgeon. Egyptian-born, best buddy or close to it of the blind sheik, who testified up and down the line in his defense in court. How can this man even be in America, let alone end up in the Congress? Well, he went on an all-out campaign, not property tax, affordability. Gaza, Jew hatred. anti-Semitism, up and down the line, and they can't get enough of it. So add that to what's driving them as we come to the midterms. It's not just Trump derangement syndrome. It's not just saying affordability. It's Benjamin Netanyahu derangement syndrome. So that's my worry still. Republicans have the wind at their back. Supreme Court yesterday, 6 to 3, said that, yes, Alabama could remove this. remnant of a racist past district that was geared to have a minority district. That will be removed. That's one more seat. Democrats will leave aside. But there's still one in Alabama to be contested. I'd go after that also. I would get rid of that. Get everyone that you can. Between that and the general redistricting battles that are going on. Republicans really have a fighting chance. But what is the appeal that's going to drive our voters out? And they don't seem to get that. They don't seem to have anything they're centering on that just gets people energized. That's what they ought to be figuring out. If they do that even a little bit, we're going to win the midterms. If they don't, we're not. Even with this help here that's monumental. And the fact that Democrats are completely unliked. But historically, the party out of power, you know the whole thing. The gravity goes that way. Michael in Wilmington next on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Michael. Hey, Dom. How are you today? Good. Good. I appreciate taking my phone call. I just wanted to add a couple quick things to the show. I would like to see a lot more of this, as you mentioned, a lot more of this fraud being uncovered quicker.
especially out in places like Minnesota, certainly be great if Philadelphia were to be exposed in other places like in Jersey. I think there's just a lot of other insidious, gosh, a lot of other insidious businesses that are doing this. Case and point, I think the parking authority in Philadelphia is corrupt. I think the port authorities are corrupt. And I think if JD Vance can continue to bring some of these other big, big case, like you're saying, Medicare fraud from other states and really start showing these people being put away. I just want to see people actually going into jail, huge organization, rings of fraud to really start exposing how this has been happening. Because as you've mentioned, a lot of these whistleblowers have come to the governor, to states, probably a lot of other authorities that have been completely ignored. And I think, you know, the more that we can show this. the more corruption that can be exposed across, you know, for the midterms. And Michael, my sense is that as much they're doing some stuff here, I don't see it, though, that they get how potent this is, particularly if these people go to jail. In other words, they're on it, but I would double or triple whatever I had to do. I mean, this is Pride Month. Why is it that the numbers are down of people accepting LGBT? The reason is the T. all the trans nonsense that's going on. So in ads, you hear me tell these people all the time, Stacey Garrity, draw Josh Shapiro out in that. He's on the side of saying he wants boys to compete in girls' sports. That is such an anathema to people. It's obvious, and that's even driving down the scores that were going up of acceptance of other gay rights issues. Yeah, absolutely. And I think you had mentioned just before you brought me on, you know, on the air here, you know, what can we do to really energize the base? And, you know, Spencer Pratt used some tremendous AI videos. Yes. what Karen Bat, why can't some of the Republicans show what would happen if the Democrats got back in power from all the nonsense that they would deal? Get that guy and his team. I know he's running. I said, this is the way I think. I don't care. You know, money seems to be no object. You give me Henry and DJ, who you've not, if you meet, you see what I mean. You give and say, all right, here's a billion dollars. Let's go and get them. We're not putting on what they put on in Washington. Those people are going to show up. They're going to be there. When I tell you who may be at Mulligans if approval happens, Henry and I just are like, what? What universe are you in when you hear this? Yeah, it's pretty bizarre. I can't even say it yet. They can't get it out of me. Henry sworn to secrecy. I don't know about Kirk. I don't know about the Central Jersey mores. He might rat. So, Michael, what's your side? Yeah, Dom, so my side is, it would be, hey, what's cracking? What's up, Henry Isle, Kirk Isle, and my man, Dom, G, O, Dio, Dazzle, Dom, G or Donna Dizzle in the house? Great rolling, great rolling training day, too. He was really good in training day. Really good. Yeah. Yeah. So that would be Snoot Dog. I mean, this guy has, you know, cross generations.
All the, you know, from Martha Stewart, younger people, older folks, you know, even being commercials with Lee Ayacocca, I think he's still going to be relevant in the road down the road in 100 years with his sayings. with his, you know, his music, his comedy, his shows. He's just a pretty, pretty famous guy. I think he's still going to be around Dom Gee or Don at Izzle. Thank you, Michael. He's buddies with Martha Stewart. I mean, my God, that is the wildest. Not from his side. Well, I don't know. From Martha Stewart's side, maybe. Yeah. How did that get started? I don't know, but look. Denzel Washington has done some monumental things. I mean, really big time stuff. But in Training Day, the character he created, the wild stuff that I think he improvised, just that he puts his one heel down and he turns on it, the swagger thing that he does, blood all over him. The car shot up and they're still sitting there throwing back wine after killing after killings and stuff they've done all day long. It's stunning. Just one day. All right. Snoop and Martha became friends when Snoop joined the Martha Stewart's show one day, and the chemistry was just off the charts. Wow. Oh, my God. Hey, by the way, I'm watching Nick Saban testify, and I know, Henry, you think, and I get, in your hand, some guardrails on the kids in college getting money and all that. But I just want him to go away. You were making $7 and $8 million a year. Some of this is, you guys don't have control now. And I'm fine with that. You know. They should be able to make money too. Well, again, it's not about money. It's just about eligibility in school. Right. When it comes down to it. Well, I think it's all fraudulent. So I'm okay. Well, yeah, you know, it's very hypocritical for like the NCAA to be like, oh, now we care about the rules. Like, no, you didn't. Yeah, exactly. He didn't care before. But yeah. Yeah, I get where he's talking about, you know, it does take away from the product a little bit when you have guys my age to decide. Like, I just saw a guy the other day. He was. He was in the class of like 2018, you know, from high school, and he played professional baseball for seven years, and now he's committed to SMU for football to be a wide receiver now. That's America. It's not college football. Well, that's true. Not college age. He's a grown man. Get a job. You had one for six years. So you want to set a pro ball. You want to set an age limit then? Yeah, I think that's part of age limits, you know, actually graduating from some of these schools that you're attending, maybe. More fraud, though. See how these credits transfer over? I mean, these guys are going to five schools in five years. There's no way they're all. I wonder how some of these college presidents feel when the guy actually graduated from their institution and they're a pro player and they hear them talk. They say, oh, it's still great. Yeah, because it's a pro player. And you can be like, that guy graduated with a degree from wherever. Right. It's worthless. Yeah. And I'm looking at my degree. Wow. All right. 855, 839, 12. I don't know. Look up. Who is the highest, Henry, would you say, at my alma mater and yours, Bloomsburg?
How much NIL money, the likeness and appearance money and all that playing there, I don't know if anybody at LaSalle gets a cheese steak or not. LaSalle, someone might get something. Bloomsberg, no shot. No shot, nothing. No, no. I mean, there's D1 programs with no money that give out. Right. I mean, let alone D2, a bad D2 at that. Right. Shut up Bloomsberg for being awful. Get it together. All right. But, yeah, like LaSalle, like I can imagine to be very minimum. All right. We'll see if anybody. Like a regular job almost. Yeah, if anybody at LaSalle gets paid. 855, 839, 1210. Who will be culturally relevant 100 years from now? Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210. All right, you got to love this with the Foreign Affairs Committee testimony with Marco Rubio today. They're arguing with Marco Rubio over the fact he couldn't admit that the shoes, remember Trump like those Tom McCanns, that the shoes were too big. Oh my God. I got to say, Marco Rubio has really improved. People see Marco Rubio now and they forget Chris Christie really nailed him when he said exactly the talking points when he ran the first time in 2016. This time around, I think he's the nominee, almost slam dunk. I don't see JD Vance. And the way he handled himself today was just beautiful. Let's go to Phil in Delaware on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Phil. Afternoon. Breaking up, Phil. Sorry. I, okay. Yeah, I'll put you on hold, Phil. We'll see what we can do about that. You're breaking up a lot there. Sorry about that. Robert and Ben Salem. Hey, Robert, afternoon. Hey, Don, I'm Henry, and I just wanted to make a quick correction here. I'm actually calling from central Benzell. I didn't know if you were aware of that. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to be, I'm going to get right to the answer. I'm going to go with Bill Gates. And because of the impact he made on the tech world, a lot of people believe that a lot of things related to computers will be misattributed to him because of his fame in the field. A lot of people said that Steve Jobs would have been just, isn't going to be his famous and perhaps he should have changed his name to Steve Apple. But I have a feeling that. Bill Gates is going to go down as culturally significant. The only question is, will it be for an overall positive thing or will it be an infamy type thing? You know what I mean? Exactly. Good one. Thank you, Robert. A little clicking there, too. I hate when it does that. I know. Sometimes, yeah, we sometimes get the, I think it's on our end, but who knows? It definitely is. Yeah. All right. Coming up, we have Dom's Money Melody for a great prize and you get the bell of the day. A hundred years, culturally relevant. Who might that be? And you can't go back in time. Remember, you know, this is all posed around Maryland Monroe. I got an update on several of the things that we're following. And we're hoping to get George Piccetto on because he apparently was inside this on the call where they're trying to negotiate the slavery exhibit materials over there at Independence Hall as far as.
the totality of this. And I'm fine. I mean, it's American history and there were slaves kept there, George Washington. I've said it many times. But how about the payoff where we are now as we go toward 250? Is the other side on this willing to acknowledge that? I think that's the nub of it. I don't know the other particulars, but he's a principal player in this. We want to get him on. Because as we head toward July 4th, this is major stuff. Phone lines are 855-839-12-10.
