Don't Judge Me, Ok? (Full Show)

It is not hard to destroy a college. Last season, the podcast, Campus Files, brought you stories of fraternity drug rings, stolen body parts, campus cults, and more. And now, Campus Files is back for another season. There's a guy screaming into his phone. He's like, I just saw Charlie Kirk just assassinated right in front of me. Every week is a new episode and a new story. It was so chaotic. It's almost like a university on a siege. Listen to and follow campus files. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. It is Domptime. Welcome in. So I was just talking with Dawn about Jimmy Kamal. And yes, he did get it said. This even, look, Stephen Colbert is despicable, but he's a lot smarter than a dope. Dope of the day, Jimmy Kimmel. But he got it said. He doesn't like the fact. He's joking about the fact that Markwayne Mullin Mowen was a plumber. Here's Jimmy Kamal last night, bringing that up.

Trump's got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up, including his newly confirmed Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, Markwayne Mullin, Markwayne Mullin, Mullen. Maybe Mellon's better. He is the now former senator of Oklahoma. Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now. I work for Super Mario. Why not Markwayne Mullin? But honestly, I mean, if Trump is going to keep picking these unqualified people to run the department, why not have more fun with it? I mean, next time instead of Markwayne Mullin, how about Little Wayne for Homeland Security? At least we could get a concert out of it, right? Mullen is replacing Kristi Noem, who was ousted three weeks ago. Okay, we got the point, Henry, yeah, with the Kristi Noem. We're all on board with that. So you know what? They can't wait. They can't get it. Hey, that America doesn't care you went to the University of Las Vegas or whatever. Can imagine Jimmy Kimmel in a calculus class, this genius? And they salute the fact. I don't know that this guy was a plumber, but if he was, great. He ran a plumbing business that made millions and millions and millions of dollars he took over from his father. But again, this snotiness, this looking down their nose because he doesn't have a PhD or something. Got it said, at least. This is what they're thinking with this guy, who has Democrats that support him. All right. Now, Loyola University, I don't know that much about it. I've seen him in basketball. I remember way back when they won the NCAA championships back in the dark age. 2018 final four. Yeah, but I mean, they actually won once, way back that I remember. So, and they had that none. But Sister Gene. Yes. They are being. The Catholic influence here when it comes to illegal immigration. So you know by now about this young woman that was shot to death by Jose Medina Medina. Right away, the guy's got two-name Medina. What's come up with another name? Jose Medina Machete. Not Jose Medina. What's with the repetition of the name? They didn't get right the first time and they're spelled. Here under the Biden administration murdered freshman Sheridan Gorman. They're apologizing. Loyola University, the Catholic kids. The editors want you to know they're sensitive to the feelings of illegal immigrants. They're not apologizing to the country that they're in the town where this young woman gets killed because of these policies. They said the Phoenix originally. reported on the charges with an Instagram post titled Immigrant Man Charging Murder of Sheridan Gorman. The original post also referred to Medina as an illegal immigrant. However, facing backlash, the student newspaper ended the post to remove the term illegal immigrant. They referred to Medina as a Rogers Park resident. Remember that? The Maryland Man? Catholic Church and the bishop levels are immortal when it comes to this. And they want to tell us about morality. And this newspaper is just following the trend of all this stuff. Of course, he's here illegally. Of course, he committed crimes. Of course, Biden let him in. Of course, J.B. Pritzker and Hitt, and that's why that young woman is dead. All righty. Phone lines are 855, 839, 12, 10. In fact, here is Governor Baby Back Rip J.B. Pritzker. This is cut six.

And he is blaming the murder. How clever. And watch this as a Democrat talking point. Listen to what he does. He blames the murder of this Medina Medina here illegally, multiple times in contact with police and everything else. He's got a weapon, not talking about the illegal weapon? Well, maybe even call the gun illegal, but he's not illegal. Listen to J.B. Pritzker say it's Trump's fault. Oh, we are great to this point by our policies to failure is a lot of least are permanent. What do you say to share in to their policies? Oh, terrible. Terrible. Terrible. have these separate failures. Those failures of course extend. The national failures are failure to have progressive immigration form of failure of the president to follow his own meeting to go after the worst of the worst. All right, so this is where they're going to be going. Trump is kind of distracted by going after everybody here illegally. That's why the worst of the worst is still here. I'll give you your comprehensive immigration reform. Get out if you're not here legally. That's the reform. Get out or be taken out. Comprehensive if you're not here legally. That's comprehensive reform. But watch for this. Blaming Trump, he's distracted going after too many people. So the worst of the worst are left to attack us and kill us like this 18-year-old. What else can you do, though, when you have nothing? When you have no plank to stand on and you figure you have to address it, you have to talk about it. Well, that's what you're going to do. All right, a couple of things around the war slash what's going on at the airports, too. They're kind of related. One, Republicans in Harrisburg this morning, they said they had their own affordability agenda. And they want to get rid of the state gas tax. I don't know if that's permanent or not, but at least during this crisis. Well, then what are we waiting for? The Republicans said it today. Are they calling here saying, I demand, I got to be on. We're getting rid of this. And we're going to, we have a Democrat or two. I told you to Democrat woman who wants to do it. Where's the urgency? How do you get into political office and you're not shoving this down their throat right now? Mike Johnson has a good idea. He'd like to put up in airports, placards, showing the Democrat vote that defunded TSA and Homeland Security. Hey, Mike, here's a little tip, though, Mikey. How about doing what we've been talking about? Where are the Republicans to meet people in those long lines, maybe a cup of coffee, maybe a donut, maybe telling him, hey, we are with you. We don't want this situation at all. We're moving heaven and earth. Now, Trump is talking about the National Guard coming in. Put him in. Stop talking about it. Relieve these lines. Whatever you have to do, relieve them. The T.S., the ICE has helped. Even though Larry Krasner thought he was in a Western yesterday, we had that live for you at the airport, looking down at ice. Probably not. I don't think they were paying any attention to him.

Howering, he's going to put them in jail, follow the Constitution. And Dawn's right on the anniversary of Sean Toomey being shot due to his policies, due to the people he's let run wild in the streets that are still having gone to jail for that four years after the fact. Republicans, this is a golden opportunity to meet these people in this crisis, to bond with them. and the ones that are independent or potentially moderate Democrats to get them to see the misery inflicted on them by Chuck Schumer and the Democrat Party. What's so hard about it? And pass this, do it right now. Let's have a gas tax holiday in Pennsylvania. But they ought to be out there demanding media time and explaining why they're doing this and they're going to bond with the Boscoa woman. Yeah, well, maybe we'll get to it next week. My God. So it's just posturing. If you do this, then the rest of this day you should be moving heaven and earth to make the world know Democrats don't want you to have a break at the gas pump. That's what they ought to be doing. Can't make them do it. They're Republicans. I don't understand it how they got elected. Now, tomorrow, I'm going to say this idea. Let's meet them in line to Alante McCauley. I bet by the afternoon he's at the airport, you know, flipping it red. That's the energy. That's what we need. All right, let me give you the side question today. We happen to see yesterday. You know, we're all greeked up. We talk about it a lot. It's fun. Drew of Upper Darby and particularly Zenos. But yesterday or today is the anniversary of the Greeks getting independence all the way back to 1821. They got it from the Ottoman Empire. Yeah, I imagine an empire made up a chairs. And the Greeks became independent. So we are looking, and you really got to, you know, don't, don't call Kirk. You know, it's just wasted with something pedestrian. You really got to hit us with something about the Greeks. I found that the Greeks are the inventors of the vending machine. They had a crude vending machine way back when. that you could get holy water from. Huh. Yeah. It's like an O of Tacconi special. Yeah. Yeah. Also take diners off, of course. Of course. I'll take names that are impossible to pronounce. Papa, DACA, DACA. A lot of P.Hs in those names. Yeah, all kinds of letters. Just throw it in. And, um... I take the Olympics off since that's on our mind. How about you, Henry? Yeah, I'll take two off the board here. How about coins for the dead? Okay. Back in ancient times, the Greeks would place a coin on the mouths of the deceased to pay, I hope I'm saying this right, Caron, Charon, the ferryman of the dead, in order for safe passage across the... What we've been bridge, yeah. Yeah. And then the other one I'm going to take off is throwing apples in ancient Greece to declare your love for somebody, you would peg them with an apple.

Very nice. I'd hate to be like Livy Dunn, who's going out with Paul Skeen, so there's 103. If he's got to profess his love and, you know, that sort of way, she's going to have some bad bruises. Who's the Greek? Throwing apples is the Greek. I'm just saying. Oh, I thought one of them was Greek there. No, no, I'm just, I didn't think of a hard picture with a famous celebrity couple. Yeah, exactly. Okay, all right. All right. Zenos could be going out with the way of you done. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's going to be brought out. How hard is Zenos? Yeah. Is he hit a hundred three? Yeah. I'm pretty sure he's going to correct all of us like that. All right, Kirk, what's yours? So I got a couple of myself. I have, I'm going to go with Musaka. Yes. And one of the gods, Zeus. There you go. That's the all time. That's the god of gods. Exactly right. Yeah, the head god. Okay. You can hit us with that. 855, 833, 9, 12, 10. And coming up last night after 12 years, the San Francisco Board of Education, but only a 4 to 3 votes, put algebra back into the curriculum in 8th grade, meaning you could take it if you want. Why did they knock it out? Well, I'll explain. Made international news. And even after all the scorn they had, I mean, it's Silicon Valley there. It was only a four to three vote to allow kids to take algebra at the eighth grade level. Then you take calculus, I think. Then I think it's geometry or algebra two, then geometry, then trigonometry, something like that. It lines up for the five-year thing. Why in the world would they not let them take it? You can probably yes. All right. I feel as if we're on the Mediterranean here. Something Greek, all-time Greek, Grecian persons, too count. Don't let the Greeks get all the good ones. 855, 839, 1210. How We Made Your Mother is a rewatch podcast that looks back episode by episode at the hit TV show How I Met Your Mother. It's hosted by me, Josh Radner, along with series co-creator Craig Thomas. In seasons one and two, we were joined by Neil Patrick Harris, Kobe Smolders, Brian Cranston, Ashley Williams, Wayne Brady, Jenna Fisher and Angela Kinsey, Joe Manginello, and my brilliant co-creator Carter Bays, and now we are diving into season three. So whether it's your 50th three watch or your first time through, follow How We Made Your Mother wherever you get your podcasts. Tom Chiodano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. All right, that's kind of a Greek signal, I guess, of European industrial music, whatever they call it. Yes. Mama Mia. Oh, it is. Oh, God. I've had to see that at least once, so you've blot that out of your mind. I didn't know that. Okay. Oh, God, guys, Mama Mia, top 10 all time, avoiding saying. Right. Because you're not wrong. 855, 839, 12, 10. So, Libs of TikTok put this up. It hasn't stirred people locally. But Temple University, for the safety of their students, the guy that's the Temple Presidente, John Fry, put out this long memo.

What if you think ICE is near the campus or on the campus? Clearly, in their uniforms, you know it's ICE, and they're just on the campus. Well, you could be at risk, your neighbors could be at risk. And he talks about there have been no confirmed reports of ICE activity on our campus or any non-routine law enforcement presence nearby. If you believe ICE. is on campus or nearby, you are to call the police. Yeah, on law enforcement officers. This would be the Temple Police. And Mr. Fry, or Dr. Fry, goes on to say all the things that ICE can't do, how you have the right to remain silent, and how he talks about our shared commitment to public safety and free expression. Hmm, public safety and temple. So Dr. Fry, maybe you'd like to move the campus to the Navy Yard. What are you talking about, buddy, public safety? You're in a war zone. And you're worried not about that. You're worried about ICE being on campus or near campus. So if you see that, make sure you call the Temple Police. They're going to go out and take care of it. What the hell are the Temple Police going to do? You know, what is their mission going to be here if ICE is on campus? Hey, what are you doing here? We're the Temple Police. Okay, guys, go back, you know, patrol your campus, try not to get injured with all the violence here. Get out of the way. Call the police. And it goes through a whole list of places they can't go, et cetera. It's amazing that you pose like that, that ICE is a threat when you're in the middle. How many times have we talked about violence in Temple? Not their fault. They have a great number of cops, and we know any number of them have acted professionally and even heroically. That's not the point. The point is these are law enforcement officers. So what is it you want the Temple Police to do with them? Maybe they should call you, Mr. President. You'll rush over and tell him, get the hell off my campus. What are you doing here? This is Philadelphia. I'll get Larry Krasnick. Got Larry over here. All right, side question. Something Greek is what we would like today. 855-839-12-10 you get on board. Here is a little, and I want to talk about this. Here's a little bit of the debate. This is cut five. In Maryland, Democrats, progressives are, they're going to pass a law that demands that every public building, like the building I'm in. Any public building must have tampons in both the ladies' room and the men's room, both rooms, every public building. So this Republican female debating the Democrats wants to get into... What size of tampons are we talking about? You get a sense of what she's trying to do with these people. Here's how it sounded. Menstrual hygiene products means appropriately sized tampons. What are appropriately sized tampons? I've never heard of such a thing. What do you consider appropriate? It just means that tampons are offered. They're no specific size.

Well, apparently there's four different sizes. So which one would you like them to use? Just a regular sized tampon in the bathroom. Okay, maybe it should say that and not appropriately sized tampon. Now, is this going in all bathrooms? Yes. Yes. How about the Ravens Stadium? If it is a state-owned building. then yes, it would go in. It's a public building. Oriole Park? Well, if it applies to the Raven Stadium, it would also apply to Orioles Park. I guess Pemlico. All right, here's what she's getting at with the appropriate sizing. They're trying to argue, and they actually had a woman stand up and progressive and say, hey, that's all this is. The lady's room runs out of them, so I say, hey, honey, can you go over and get me some tampons? from the men's room to the boyfriend or husband. Doubtful with these women, but okay, that's why she's asking, well, why are you putting inappropriate sizing here? We know exactly why we're doing it. It's a transgender play. And I think it's going to pass overwhelmingly. Every public building in Maryland will have appropriately sized tampons be available. That's brilliant stuff by that Republican there because they're trying to con the public and saying we're only putting it in a men's room in case the lady's room runs out of it. So if a Ravens game is like an Eagles game, oh man, putting tampons in there in the men's room. Are you kidding? They'll be doing it here in Philadelphia if they haven't done it already. Why not? You know, you want to protect the public. You want to make it comfortable for them. And I think the weasel they had there trying to break this down, didn't even know what he was trying to avoid the appropriate sizing, because why? It would have to be bigger. At least I think that's what they're getting at. And that's what she's getting at. So once again, it's just an endless, endless battle. Do voters know this stuff? The voters go, yeah, it ought to be in the men's room. Or are they so oblivious? They're just working off the taxes they have to pay. Like Larry Krasner's performance yesterday at the airport. I'm telling you, there's a sufficient number of people in Philadelphia that like that when we went through that and played that with him. That he will take on Mikie Sherrill Parker and she'll be forced in to have to attack Trump because that's what he lives off. That's what he's going to engage in. And again, the spectacle. of this guy nationally, people are saying, who is this guy? They don't know Krasner. They don't know what he does. But there's an audience for this in Philadelphia. This is what we're up against. And we're going to lose to them in the midterms? Wow. That should shock us. So the message is Republicans, get busy. You said affordability today, get rid of the state gas tax for now. Well, then do it. Bring it up for a vote. Bring it up in the Senate at least. Oh, we got other business we've got to do. How about striking just once on something meaningful? People might pay attention to you. And if Democrats want to vote against that, oh, well, get them on the record voting against that. That's exactly what you want to do. Because I'm starting to believe, given dealing with the Iranians who are getting more emboldened.

They survived this, the ones that survived, they think still they have some cards to play here, and they're going to continue to play this out. I think it could bleed out of April at this point. Not for any reason. I mean, they've been conquered militarily. As far as we can tell, we've subdued their ballistic missiles, we think the nuclear thing I'm always afraid of, but it looks better on that front. So how are they hanging on? What are they hanging on to? They're hanging on to the fact they're religious fanatics. Some of them haven't been killed yet. The people can't erupt and overthrow them. It's not that type of place. And they're daring Trump. They have a sense in America. President Trump says boots in on the ground. That is going to be a huge problem for Trump. All right. Let's go to Gary in Newtown. Gary starts us off on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Gary. Good. Good. Happy New Year. I want to get that out of the way. Thank you. I couldn't, I couldn't, you got me like 30 seconds before I could get to my, my horns, but you got me. Thank God. I want to start to show off. Yeah, you're welcome, Henry. I want to start to show off with, I was the rat alert. I'm not sure if you saw this today, but Delta Airlines has announced that they are giving no special. circumstances for congresspeople to go through security yes yesterday we talked about yes definitely i apologize i i must say yesterday i'm sorry okay and uh uh talk is a few other airlines might take their cue and do something about it i hope they all do it yeah sure so i i it's funny because you today's greek day i love it i love zinos i i i love drew even though he's only half Greek, but Zenos is definitely 100% Greek. But Zenos mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. It's called the Othora Coffee Cup. Now, it's one of my wife's pet peeves is that most people, almost 100% of any coffee cups in the movies or sitcoms, they're always empty. But the most famous coffee cup is the Athora coffee cup. It's the one that's blue, and it's got the Greek lettering across the top. It's like crazy. It's in every everything in New York. It's every diner in New York. So this Greek coffee cup. Yes, it's the Othora coffee. It's called the Othora Coffee Cup. It's the most famous coffee cup in any in Hollywood. Gotcha. That's outside the box. That's the type, the attention to detail, what we're looking for, something Greek, person place thing that you connect with. So again, I see opportunity here. We can't force Republicans to seize on this. And that opportunity is to take the message to voters where they are in these lines, which, let's face it, they have come down a bit in some places, but at certain times of the day, they're still going strong, not as bad as it was. I would send in the National Guard. I wouldn't wait.

And also, you know, is a communist. But there is an interesting argument when he's on a panel. It gets pretty good. Springsteen is a billionaire or almost. And yet his whole stick is now, you know, Bernie's a phony too. He's got three houses. Springsteen, though, is approaching a billion. He's not a commie, but they both use the rift of income inequality. So I would say Springsteen is worse than Bernie. Can't be worse than Jane Fonda every time she comes back after what she's done over the years. But that's quite a bill. I guess Springsteen and Joan Baez will do a duet together. I don't know, maybe Bernie and Jane Fonda might. Or they'll get another commie up there. 855-839, 1210, you get in. Now, I mentioned this, San Francisco last night by a bare four to three vote. overturned their ban on algebra being available to eighth grade students 12 years after they stopped it. It was removed from middle schools under the rationale that many students, especially those from so-called disadvantaged backgrounds, would benefit from having more time to master foundational math before tackling algebra. But the plan didn't work. The number of students enrolled in advanced high school math decline and wide racial gaps remain. Meanwhile, many parents enrolled their children in summer and after school math courses to keep them accelerated, often paying out of pocket. This was to achieve equity. And you know what equity means there? It means going to the floor, not going to the ceiling. That's what equity equals. This was a big deal. A lot of Asian students, of course. Why in the world would you stop them from those that can't do it? Well, it's not equitable. They're getting a head start. They're getting an advantage. Like working harder, being smarter. Yeah, that's unfair. So now it's spread out over five years. You can take algebra one and math eight in the eighth grade. Then I think you'd take something like geometry, probably then algebra two, then trigonometry. Calculus is in there somewhere. It's a five-year plan. And some of the people there said, we're Silicon Valley. We're the biggest in the world, arguably, and all kinds of things that do with the most advanced math and technical and all that. Why in the world would we be doing that? And the answer is, this is what equity does. It dumbs it down. It's all about dumbing it down. Let's have dummies. Well, what about the smart kids? Well, they're either going to have to go to another school, be bored, or take it after school and have to sit there and see how much is two plus two. I mean, oh, I know. I just a trigger in my head. I happen to be in a doctor's office today with Roe, just a routine thing. And a guy comes in with what clearly I think was his wife. And they asked him, well, who's going to pick you up after this exam? And he points and goes, my spouse. And I was right there like, what the hell? That is such a, what are we in the motor vehicle board? What universe would you call someone your spouse? I looked like, you know, this couple getting divorced or something?

Have you ever heard that term? My spouse. I do feel like it is like, I don't know, like a legalese version of saying like, you know, my wife, my husband. And you would only say that, yeah, like the DMV or the hospital or something just to make it clear like my, you know, married spouse. Yeah, what are we in some kind of reading of the will? My spouse, they deceased. Who comes up with stuff like that? I'm just shaking my head over there. Not at the guy, but at the wife, like, my God, how do you put up? And you don't say my row. No, you can say that. That's a little bit personal. But your wife, of course. Yeah. My spouse. Yeah, that's a little bit. I wrote that one down. I almost wrote it on my hand and had a piece of paper in front of it. Use this and my spouse. Wait, was she like standing next to him? No. Oh, okay. She was over, you know, setting up her laptop. And she's going to wait for him. I wonder if she heard it at all. Right. She, like, looked up and gave him a look. Yeah, it didn't look like, you know, but I just think that's pretty impersonal. You know, I'm the marriage counselor sitting there. All right. First of all, God, we're going to stop with the spouse thing. Who's my the guy is even less likely how in the world is Nick that just comes out your most significant your wife right how is there any other phrase maybe he panicked yeah I don't want to hear my my partner either yeah right it didn't look like my significant other it didn't look like a lawyer He didn't say my girlfriend. My shack up. He said, my spouse. Okay. I was wondering, I was trying to read her hand. Did she write down spouse? The thing, I couldn't tell. Take a mental note. Yeah, take a mental note. Don't say spouse. If you've ever said it, you got to tell us when you, let me go to Robert of Ben Salem. I don't think he would ever use. Well, I know he had a tumultuous first marriage here, but let's see what he says. So, Robert, were you a spouse? No. At least he didn't say ball and chain. I didn't, it wasn't tumultuous. It was 20 years, 17 years good, three years bad, but we're friends now. So it wasn't like that traumatic thing. If both people land well. there's usually not a lot of acrimony after the divorce. Yeah, it's good. But Robert, I mean, I thought it was in bizarre, you know, as talk show hosts, we're observers. We're like doctors. You can take off your closing. We're doctors, so, yeah. God, today is so clinical because they don't want, they want to take all the human feeling out of it, so make everything clinical. But Henry, Henry had mentioned something about throwing apples at someone you like, and I'd like to tell you where that comes from. The guy, first of all,

The Greeks have the greatest mythology ever, okay? They don't even have, not only do they have great contributions to all those maths you were just talking about. But, I mean, just the stories are incredible. But one of the goddess, the goddess of the hunt, Artemis, had a daughter named Adalana. And Adelaana was extremely special, strong, fast, and beautiful. Actually helped kill the Caledonian boar, wrote on the Argos with Jason. She was a true hero, but her father demanded that she get married, and she hated love, which offended the goddess of love, Aphrodite. So Atlanta said, I will get married to the man who compete me in a race. And several came, and Atlanta would cheat. She would spear him when she was catching up to him and stuff like that. You know what I mean? But there was one named Hippaminis, and he went to Aphrodite for help, and she gave him three golden apples. And every time at Atlanta caught up to him, he'd throw the golden apple off to the side, which would distract her, and it enabled him to win the race. So that's why men throw apples at women that they're attracted to. Oh, very nice. Okay. Beat that, Zinos. But my, actually, it's a saying, beware Greeks bearing gifts. And that harkens to the Trojan horse, which the Greeks left on the shores of Troy as a tribute to Poseidon. And the Trojan took it into the city, Greek soldiers hidden within, opened the city, and they conquered the city because of it. But just the saying, beware Greeks bearing gifts. And I'll leave it there. A great topic, Dom. I'm really enjoying it. Have a great day. Thank you, Robert. Thanks for the spouse, chat. We'll see if anybody else says, what's wrong with saying my spouse. Let's open to floodgates now. And I wonder if women are more likely to say. I can see women saying that more than a guy. No. I'm pretty sure I don't. And I'm like 20 feet away. I pretend I'm going to have to stretch just to get closer to this. If I could see anything else with this guy. Ah, you're on candid camera. Do you think Aphrodite approves of this guy? His spouse. And Earl of Tacconi's trademark of going into this stuff has been taken over. He might sue for copyright infringement. All right. It's 855839, 1210. It's Greek Independence Day, 1821, from the Ottoman Empire. Hit us with that at 855, 839, 12, 10. We didn't you hear this lawyer that was speaking out about this Rochelle Belal. That's the goofball sheriff who said ICE is not going to come into her city, the head of the sheriff's apartment. The main thing with the sheriffs are the sheriff's sale. But apparently he says they have deeds. They're supposed to go out the paperwork that are two years old and they just won't do it. How in the world? Is that allowed? Well, in a place like Philadelphia, it's allowed. This is the type of stuff that goes on. They're shameless. They let this woman run amok. Apparently, she's hooked in. She formerly was a cop, and then she headed up the minority cops group and caused nothing but trouble, and somehow or another, they made her sheriff.

Republicans are on the side of moving those lines. Democrats are not. That's what this comes down to. Also, offer them the opportunity to join ICE. If they do that, the money's there. You can pay them. They still do the same job of screening stuff, but they're a member of ICE paid them. I don't know if you can blanket, put all them in ICE for now, and pay them. Republicans have to pounce on this. It's something that's unpopular that Democrats are doing. Don't talk about it. Get rid of the gas tax in Pennsylvania. 855-839, 1210.

All right, Tom Time. Welcome in, everyone. Any moment we'll have the big verdict in the social media, the meta. We had it in New Mexico, and I think the verdict was for $325 million plus. Now, they'll get that, some of that taken out. I'm sure there'll be a lot of appeals. But this one in LA is big. And the argument, I think the case was made, that this isn't just random what's happening with suicidal kids and a bunch of other stuff. This is something that they're not doing enough to curtail. And I would predict they're going to go against them in this. And it's going to be a huge, huge verdict. So we'll give that to you as it comes down again. It's a parental issue, but you could use some help here. One of the wilder things going on today around the war, look, Alan Dershowitz has been on the show. He's a brilliant guy, one of the three smartest I've ever had the pleasure of interviewing. I've done it 20 times. But he was Jeffrey Epstein's attorney. Told me one time in the middle of that, but I kept my trousers on all the time when I was on the island. He actually said trousers. Go figure. How about your spouse, though? So he boards out yesterday on Newsmax that President Trump is so forceful in what he's doing here, he would not have sat there and let Nazi Germany march toward the Holocaust. Then in 1936 or 37, if he were president, President Trump would have stopped it. Now, that's quite an honor saying that Trump is not the type of guy. It's just going to sit around here. But given all the back and forth with Israel and everything else, I'm not sure how helpful it is, but he would have stopped all this. Now, Roosevelt didn't do anything, really. Trump... Better or worse is action-oriented just about on every front that we can imagine. But it's exactly what we've been saying for at least two weeks. They've been decimated militarily. Maybe they still have a little bit left. They can hit us with the Strait of Hormuz. They're keeping the oil supply of the world and other goods down. They're going to let what they call non-hostile ships through. I think what we have to do is blockade. take every Iranian ship that comes through, any, quote, non-hostile ship, and if they won't stop, then we're going to have to disable them, particularly the Iranian ones. We should not put boots on the ground. I know 1,000 more of the 82nd airborne air. Now, one American life in this nonsense, it's just not what we want to do. Are we backing ourselves into that type of corner, though, come Friday? Where are we going to do something like that? Let me go to David, Lexington, South Carolina. He's on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, David. Hey, Dom. Good afternoon. And I need a ruling on Zenos for this. So I'm going to say Calironia, which is Greek for Happy New Year. So I need a ruling from Zenos. Maybe a Southern Greek.

You know, I made a mistake one time of referring to my wife as my first wife, and I still kind of get back to that. Oh, boy, yes, yes, yeah, yeah. But can you imagine this guy saddling up, and I just hear the word spouse, and my ears perk up. I'm like, what the heck? My spouse will be waiting, yeah. It sounds like a business partner thing. But, you know, on the side there real quick, my father, who was a state teacher year finalist, he was top three out of 80 districts in the state, brilliant math teacher. And when I was in eighth grade, he wanted me to be in algebra. We didn't teach algebra in eighth grade here. And he knew I could do it. And he would go to the school and say, look, I know my son can do it. If you want to give him a test, whatever. And I did. And I passed it. So I was the one eighth grader in my class to take algebra while the rest. We're taking pre-algebra. But what they would say is, and I hate when I hear this, is, well, kids learn differently these days. And he would get so mad about that. And he would say, no, we're teaching them different, but doesn't mean they'd learn differently. Kids are still able to learn just like we did back in the day. Just infuriated him to hear that. Well, yeah. And, David, can you imagine, you know, taking particularly Asian kids in Silicon Valley and saying no algebra for you. Right. When they could do that, like a three. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. What's your side, David? So, you know, kind of on that subject, my dad was a calculus teacher. So sometimes when I speak, you know, talk about calculus with my wife, she'll say this. She'll go, it's all Greek to me. Absolutely. Why do we pin that on the Greeks? The language looks funny. I don't know. Everything else. Yeah, maybe so. But, yeah, it's all Greek to me, Dom. Thank you, David. We'll ask Zinos. I'm sure I'll be checking in later from his... corner of the diner. These are the calls down on everything. Yeah, exactly. All right. 855, 839, 12, 10. So big time lawyer next. Imagine these big deals, millions of dollars. You just want to move the paper on them, sheriff sales, and the like. And the sheriff's department seems to be on some of them two years behind. They're just saying, well, you've got to come to us. We're not going to do it. We'll get to it when we get to it. That's what happens here in Philadelphia. This is not just about Rochelle Belal. It's about the broader story to me is the attitude that I've seen my entire life here in Philadelphia. The arrogance. And it's arrogance in a stupid way, not that we're the smartest, but we're in charge. We're dummies, but we're in charge. Just look at this woman. What school did she go to? What possible school did she come from? You've heard her speak. You've seen the stuff she did with ice. How's that possible that she could hold up tens of millions of dollars? Well, in Philadelphia, you can. All right, that's next. And boy, do we have a progressive woman gone wild today a little bit later. I think within the next hour we'll have the verdict in the social media trial. We'll break that down to all next on Talk Radio 1210. Tom Giudano, weekdays, noon till three, from Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT.

All right, Tom Time. Welcome in, everyone. Any moment we'll have the big verdict in the social media, the meta. We had it in New Mexico, and I think the verdict was for $325 million plus.

You know, I made a mistake when time of referring to my wife as my first wife, and I still kind of get back to that. Oh, boy, yes, yes, yeah, yeah. But can you imagine this guy saddling up, and I just hear the word spouse in my ears work up. I'm like, what the heck? My spouse will be waiting, yeah. It sounds like a business partner thing. It's more than a senior. Yes. But, you know, on the side there real quick, my father, who was a state teacher year finalist, he was top three out of 80 districts in the state, brilliant math teacher. And when I was in eighth grade, he wanted me to be in algebra. We didn't teach algebra in eighth grade here. And he knew I could do it.

I think within the next hour we'll have the verdict in the social media trial. We'll break that down to all next on Talk Radio 1210. The Second World War is the largest event in human history. A 20-part series with Tom Hanks. No part of the globe was untouched. No life unchanged. Experience the ultimate account of World War II. Every single person had a story. These are the stories that make us who we are. Listen to World War II with Tom Hanks on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHPHT.

All right, it is Dom time, 855, 839, 12, 10. So I told you the inquire of all people had quite a story. D delays continue in Philadelphia Sheriff's Office, prompting lawsuits. And it's all kinds of flipping houses, it's all kinds of real estate deals, some dating back to maybe two years. And you just can't get the paperwork. You can't get the deed on it. And their excuses, oh, well. All right. So we're going to talk one of the attorneys and went to court involved with this. And the reason we saw Rochelle Belal, Rochelle Rochelle, all right, that journey from Minsk to Milan. We saw Rochelle when she called out ICE, that sheriff, and people thought she was the chief law enforcement officer in Philadelphia. with this ghastly uniform, with just the inability to keep stolen guns. And what's one of the biggest things that sheriffs do? They have sheriff sales. So wouldn't there be enough public pressure that you have to move these things on, that some agency, some group, somebody comes at you and says, what an embarrassment. Do your job. Or we're going to put you in jail or do something. So we're going to talk with the attorney that the inquire talked to who says this is a uniquely Philadelphia problem. And it's an embarrassment. Brutter thing for me, institutionally, does Philadelphia ever get embarrassed? It doesn't appear that. It appears that that's what you have to be if you want to be in office here in Philadelphia. You don't get embarrassed. Now, the mayor, misspelling Eagles. I mean, that could happen. It was funny. She made a job. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about this sheriff, though. All right. So let's go to attorney Dan Bernheim here on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Dan, thanks for taking time to join us. And thanks for your patience in Philadelphia. Well, thank you very much for being kind enough to invite me. So, Dan, you're also a Lower Marion Commissioner, but you're speaking in your role as an attorney. What kind of work do you do? Well, you're correct. This is strictly with my attorney hat on, not my commissioner hat on. But as an attorney, the nature of my practice is commercial litigation. And a lot of that has led me to represent a number of law firms. who represent mortgage lenders in reference to both commercial and residential mortgage debts as well as certain developers and investors on a real estate side, as well as some other garden variety commercial disputes. But for the purpose of what I think you've asked me to join you with a day, that's probably most relevant. And what the sheriff's office does here, it's kind of the lubrication of the system, moving this along. something is done this is commerce 70 days is a number dan here i think that it's supposed to happen on most of these things what's happening many times the ones that you're involved in in philadelphia yeah so the way it works in a judicial foreclosure sale the sheriff is the responsibility of hand handling the sale

And most times what occurs is that the holder of, be it the mortgage or a judgment, that judgment creditor is the one bringing the sale. And generally, there's not competitive bidding, and it just goes back to them. On other situations where there are investors, developers, people interest in the property, there is competitive bidding. And the sheriff is then by rules of court required within 30 days. to post what's called a schedule of distribution. Who's going to get what money? How much is going to go to that judgment creditor who executed on the judgment? And are there junior lien holders that might get some? Are there any tax liens? So there's a distribution of funds. And then once that is... posted and if there are no objections, there's then 40 days by which the sheriff then is obligated to produce a deed for recording. That's where you get the 70 days combining those two acts. If it just runs its normal course, yes, you know, plus and minus it'll be the 70 days. There could be legitimate, you know, interruptions to that. But the problem has been that when there haven't been those interruptions, objections to the schedule of distribution or something else, it's been running six months a year. I've heard war stories of just, you know, endless weight periods in order to get these deeds without explanation as to what the holdup is. So the only recourse is to go to court and also publicly, good on the inquire who I often don't agree with, but Dan, good on them to publicize this. And this is a broader thing with Rochelle Ballow of what the sheriff's office is about. Wouldn't it be better if they were removed from this? You know, the inquire wants to get rid of the sheriff's office. So do I. I mean, it's an an acronym that just gets in the way of stuff. Who would be able to handle this better, do you think? Yeah, well, look, now it's just 100% personal in the first comment, then I'll answer your question. Yeah, the days of the need of electing the sheriff are in our rearview mirror. We need to look at the front windshield as to what's best for the city of Philadelphia and giving the sheriff responsibilities to bring prisoners to courtroom and then you had handle sheriff's sales. Think of two things where dots don't connect. You would have separate departments that would be handling these functions. But until there's a different political will, we're stuck with what we have. So to your next question, you know, what do we do? So there have been, you know, a number of sheriffs before the current one. And some of them have delegated responsibilities to different title companies which have handled this process. Some of them have handled it well within those parameters. Others have not. So the systemic problem that seems to exist for those situations where it's not timely handled is one of administration. This is all curable, which is why I brought this action. Yes, I'd like to have my clients get their deeds. That's first and foremost. That's my fiduciary responsibility. But as I've said to the city solicitor, because this is the second time I've done this.

of bringing this action is that I'd like to be able to get a group of folks who have far more expertise than I. We can sit down at a table and we can map out how this can be accomplished and fix this because it is, as I said, and I heard you quote at the outset, an embarrassment that we don't have this accomplished. In 2003, not to occupy too much time of your show here, in 2003, a consent order was entered. directing the sheriff to take whatever actions were necessary to cure this problem. We're 23 years later. You think the technology may have improved to help out? Help that out. Yeah, without a doubt. Well, you know, in my understanding, look, I am a guy who wants to get things done, move on. You strike me as that. And people in this field are entrepreneurial or moving on or doing things. And this is how a city grows, how we have prosperity, how we're in the top tier of places. And then you have an organization, at least under this administrator, Dan, it seems to me. Oh, we'll get to that someday attitude. And it goes on that you have to go to court to do something that's already established here. So I'm glad that you gave the interview to the Inquirer. I'm glad it's being exposed because some of the shows I do like Inside Story, it seems to me there's widespread agreement to do something different here. You don't need the sheriff's office. And certainly you don't need them clogging up what is just commerce here. Yeah, I agree with you. Your last comment is the thing that's spot on when you say, what's best for Philadelphia? Think of what occurs. And in the first occasion I had was somebody that invests in property, sponsored someone to develop. They were building six contiguous residential units. And then that contractor, we won't get into that, bunch of problems. They walk off the job. All you had was a pit and some framing. which was a real plate in the neighborhood. People were dumping trash through all these citations, and by the time we were able to go through a sheriff's sale and we couldn't get the deeds, we couldn't clean up the property, couldn't certainly fix it up to go ahead and sell it. So it's not just the investors that are being impacted, but it's all the neighbors and the neighborhood is. which isn't good for the city, then if you're just a normal residential mortgage lender, you don't think you're taking into consideration if something goes south, the problems you're going to have. So correcting this is something which is good for the city, good for good for the city commerce. You are in my humble opinion spot on with that. Well, thank you, Dan, very much. If I ever move a bunch of estates, I'm calling you. Please, Dan, keep us in the loop. Let us know if anything else happens around this, and we'll have you back, Dan. Pleasure to meet you today. Thank you. Likewise, very much. Thank you. All right, Dan Bernheim, here's a broader thing we're getting at with Philadelphia. How in the world, and I give you my theory over the years, there's so much where Philadelphia is located and the institutions, the health care, and all that.

It's not Detroit. Detroit was pretty much a one-horse town, horsepower, General Motors and the like. When that went south, they really crashed. Philadelphia, it's got a lot going on that's good. The center of the country, 250th anniversary. Think about it. We're welcoming people here, 250, Philadelphia's part in that, major, this, that, and the other, all these alleged accomplishments. And you have Rochelle Ballow. You have Larry Krasner. You have the mayor saying, you know, we built those roads and we're going to charge you Uber a tax to be doing your business on them. In every blue city, Zohran Mamdani in New York is a perfect example. You have all these things that would take it to unbelievable levels. Yet, we end up with these losers. And Rochelle Balal is just in the top 10 in the entire country. Imagine. You know, we have a lot of people to probably work in these fields. You heard what he said, too, we can't fix it up. We can't clean it up. We don't have the deed. And her attitude and the attitude here in Philadelphia, it's almost like we're proud of this dumbness, of this backwardness. And I do think there's a vast constituency proud of Larry Krasner yesterday with the show of going to the airport and facing down ice. It was just giving people water. and doing their job of protecting at the airport. And this guy tells him he's going to put him in a jail cell. What is it that drives this? It's the same thing that drives them to vote for progressive after progressive or at least Democrat after Democrat. That's what you're getting here. It is a almost hopeless situation. All right, so we have a verdict reach in the landmark social media case. And with all the social media stuff, it's a hard call. I mean, you still have to parent. But I think most people listening would agree that parenting today is harder than it was 20, 30 years ago. Just as social media, phones, AI, stuff of that nature. make it harder to hold the line and be an effective parent. So I think this jury is ruling that, yeah, social media, this is way out of bounds what's happening. It's going to be a massive verdict here. I'll give you more details on that. Coming to your calls, 855, 833, 9, 12, 10. Hit us with something grief. Yes, Zenos is a... Oh, God. Zinos is coming up here. We've had some really good ones, though, because today is the day that Greece got independence from the Ottoman Empire, 1821. And it is a cradle of civilization. There's a lot of names, a lot of people. Think a little bit outside the box on it, though. Let's get your name into the hat. 855, 839, 1210. Hey y'all, I'm Maddie. And I'm Poodle.

On Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, you're with Dom here on Talk Radio 1210. Let's go to Joe in Columbus, and Joe, you're on Talk Radio 1210. Hello, Joe. Hey, good afternoon, Dom. Happy New Year. Thanks, Joe. Tom, you ever been to a Greek wedding? I have not, but I like the first my big fat Greek wedding. When I got to my big fat, fat, really fat Greek wedding, I was, you know, I was enamored. It's a pretty interesting ordeal. And I'm sure Zenos will correct me on this, but I swear they stole their dance off the Tarantella because it's the same exact thing where they dance around the dance floor, their arms over their head, snapping their fingers. But what they do is they throw dollar bills at the bride and groom's feet. And it's so funny to watch the non-Greeks attach themselves to this and start reaching in their pockets and throwing dollar bills. That sounds like a show. Yeah, but I'm thinking of the scene in Goodfellas. They don't do that. They come up in hand, you know, and you go at the bag there because you get killed if you go anywhere near the bag. Sure. But there's dollar bills. All over the dance floor, and it's interesting to see who runs around and gathers them up for the bride and groom. It's usually the flower girl or the mother and father. It's so funny. And that dance is called Sir Taki. Wow, that is a good one. Yeah, whenever you're throwing, making it rain there. It's an interesting thing. Do the Greeks do anything with the... Dom, if it was an Italian wedding, you would see, you know, mother sticking gum to the bottom of their feet picking up those dollar bills. Nope. Did they do anything with the garter and how high up it goes? No, that did not happen. It was very good food. But that dance, I'm saying, I'm looking at my date. I'm saying... They stole the Tarantella. They stole the Tarantella from us. But it was still great in their own little ritual. All right. Well, thank you. Thanks very much. As I said, and I'm trying to piece this out here on the fly, the verdict is announced in a big social media case. This is where the argument was that this is pretty much in the testimony that was there. And I hesitate to use it, but that's what they were, an addiction that was created. And this is a landmark against meta again. And we are going to see a big bit. This one is in Los Angeles. They're talking about doom scrolling. There was a lot of evidence about the, shall we say, the ability with a young brain to engage in this stuff. Now, I don't know if there's evidence that Mark Zuckerberg or his engineers sit there and say this is exactly what we're going to do. But I think the jury bought into something like that here. Now, they can absorb this, but that's two big ones here, and you're going to see more than sue them on this. So I saw the figure over $325 million in the New Mexico case.

This one's even bigger. So the future of social media in some ways is in the balance with this decision. And this is that brought. We've gone back and forth. And one of the problems, we've all seen it, is when these people come and testify in court, how many of these senators actually have any fluency with this? You know, you really have to school yourself. You really have to get into what their defense is, which is they try to argue they're under various laws that are already passed. And the argument is, no, you're not. You're something different than that. But this was a lot bigger. I mean, this was involving actual terms like addiction, et cetera. And I'm wondering, I know there's a segment of people that go, yo, but where are the parents in this? Why are the parents letting them be on the phone X hours a day if this is such a problem? Why don't they step in and stop it? And that's legitimate. There was also talk of the bullying that goes on here, driving people to suicide. And I see in this case, this went on for quite a while, a lot of technical information about exactly what these social media outlets are doing to, quote, hook people on this and to give it the power that it has. And part of me is with that, but part of me also is with the parents and their responsibility in this. But this is a major, major landmark. You may have seen some of the excerpts. It's been going on for a few weeks, occasionally horror stories coming out of this. And I'm reluctant when we bring on some of the people over the years, people are thinking, yeah, but doesn't the parent have to intervene? Don't they see what's going on here? Don't they have to do a little bit more in this? And with teenagers, it's pretty clear, isn't it? The verdict is that social media, the net favorability of it for them is bad. I mean, it's not. And it's even with adults, a lot of questionable stuff, the stuff that goes on Twitter. This was nine days of deliberation. And they deliberated for about 43 hours to come up with this. They asked 10 questions during the deliberation of a very technical nature that went on with this. And this will have big, big consequence both financially. And, you know, I'd have to study to tell you what they're doing. What is it in on Australia? You have to, what's the age? I don't think it's 16. in Australia to be using social media, how do they check on that? Meta says they disagree with this. We'll appeal. We work hard to keep people safe. Oh, stop it. Come on. That part's not true. This is all about getting usage and getting as much as you can, which leads to how fabulously wealthy they are. But are they directly just trying to addict people in the manner of this court decision seems to be saying.

And I'm not sure if either party, you know, I don't think this is the issue headed into the midterms where this is going to play out with either party saying, hey, we want the Australian type of law where you're banned from social media up until a certain age. Not even sure how you check on that. And who has more responsibility here? Social media company or the parents. And I'd say the parents. But this is not an easy thing. I'd love to hear from you if you're a parent with a child now, say under 15 or so, or even at age, about the ability to deal with this. You're seeing more and more schools. And I was originally not in favor of this, but I can see it. Ban cell phones in the classroom. You've got to put them in. secure pockets and or they have to be in your book. You can't have them out. Some schools right in our area can't have them out during the day. I think you're going to see as a result of this a bunch of schools I'm talking about within a next week or two pounce on this and this will be the push. The commentator on Fox just used an interesting thing too. She says this is very similar in her view. Now, this is pretty over the top to the decision on tobacco. I don't know which decision on tobacco was the biggest one when we finally stopped the nonsense and said, come on, this is both addictive and cancer-ridden. There is no doubt. But it's America, so you should have the right to smoke within certain boundaries, depending upon the business or whatever. Henry, I'll get a little expertise for you. You're well past this age, but you're watching this. What are you taken from this? It's major when the, that woman urban on Fox is, I'd like to get her on, is very good. But saying this is very similar to when the moment where we said, that's it for tobacco, that's big. Yeah, I wouldn't go as far to say as this landmark as the tobacco case, but I do agree with the part that it is highly addictive. I mean, the user interface, like, analytics that these companies take from you in order to curate your timeline, your feed, to keep you on that app. is ridiculous i mean they are tracking how long your thumb is pressed on the screen looking at something how long you're looking at a post whose profile you're looking at you know that's how it knows to like hey feed more of this stuff to this user in order to keep them on this app to keep them scrolling to keep them addicted in a way so yeah i do think well okay let's say let's say for a moment they're doing it where does it yeah let's let's say okay Where does a negative come in, though? I mean, how do we get to the suicidal stuff? That's what a lot of these parents had. I mean, the suicidal thing, yeah, that is a bit different on the, you know, online bullying aspect. But that comes with being addicted to the app and making that app your life and say you get destroyed on that app. Right. Then your life is destroyed. Okay.

I still see a parental role here, though. I get nervous about us just. Parents do have to step in, too, but it's also like, you know, how long can you relent on letting your child be on social media when everyone else is on it is too, you know? Well, that's why I said it is more difficult now. Yeah. Yeah, this is a much bigger deal. And, you know, even some of the stuff, there are two local schools just in the last week with AI fakes of sexual, sex torsion, stuff like that. Yeah. But both Google and Meta found libel for negligence. And then, you know, we have the inherent bias here, particularly with Google, that we know what side of the aisle they're on, the bias, et cetera. So, you know, why not pile on for them? But both Google and Meta found liable for negligence and failure to warn. All right. Now, they can absorb the financial hit. But this is going to lead. to either party trying to pass some kind of law. And I'm reluctant on that. I don't know how you would hold them liable if somebody under, and I'm not sure what Australia has done or what's happened in Australia to be able to curtail you from using social media. I think it's under 16. Maybe it's even a little bit. I think it's that. Yeah, I think it's 16. This is big, though. But saying this is a turning point. Although what happened with tobacco? I don't think so. I think that social media is even more popular than tobacco. I mean, tobacco, because there's a reason here. This is a mental thing that you don't see until it's too late. With tobacco, we have a sense, we know. You know, I might do something tomorrow on something that. It was damn. Henry and I work it out. I mean, I remember having a doctor. Dr. Descina may rest in peace. He wrote lyrics for Abby Lane and all this stuff. He was like this cool, hip doctor and all. But he was a chain smoker. And he'd be examining you, and he's crushing out a cigarette throughout the examination. All right, step over here. And he called women Macy. Macy, like, yeah, Macy's names go a little bit old-fashioned. Dan Sullivan yet, but hey, Macy, get on the scale. I remember times being in there. We'd go through three cigarettes. He died of emphysema, something like that pretty early, you know. And the excuses you didn't know about tobacco. All right, by a certain point, though. And smoking has gone tremendously down. All right, so it's only $3 million in damages here. Oh, that's peanuts. Yeah, I'm kind of surprised at the award here. I thought it'd be a lot more, but you're going to see them run with this. This is a major decision. Liable on failure to warn and libel on YouTube, too. Wow. YouTube is involved in us? Well, it's the same company. Yes. Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay. So that's where it's coming in. Okay. Liable on failure to warn. Liable on negligence. And it's something that, you know, at any point, you could be a half-wit on Twitter. Anybody can make an unfortunate tweet, something of that. This is much more addictive and much more complicated than that. 145, we're going to talk with our buddy, Beth Ann Rosica. She's got a story out there today how many, many, maybe yours, local school districts are hiding.

And they're not complying with the Trump executive order around transgender in sports, bathrooms, et cetera. So how do they hide that, that they're not complying? That's worse, isn't it? They're not complying, but they're hiding it from the public. And I think she thinks it's a huge percentage of schools in this area. We'll talk with her. Only $3 million in damages, though. I don't get that for these horror stories that we saw. 855839, 12, 10. Hit us on the side question. Yes, we do have Zenos in the on-deck circle here. Today is Greek Independence Day, 1821, Ottoman Empire. All right. I'm still stunned at that number, only $3 million. It's like a lunch there at Google. Yeah. Yeah. After all this huffing and puffing, that's the damages. I think the greater damage is, though, more people are going to go after them. This is going to be, you know, every prosecutor in the world now is going to jump on this. We'll party say, we need to make it. Kids can't get on social media until the age of 16, like Australia. Just looking constantly, what's an issue that's going to break between now and the midterms? And the only thing I see is the Democrats, every opportunity are playing up affordability, and they're smart to do that. And hatred of Trump, another no kings this Saturday. What are Republicans playing up? What is the issue that's going to galvanize Republicans? They say stuff. They're going to impeach Trump and people like, ah, they did that already. So what? They're going to say, well, they're going to shut everything down. It's nothing resonating here with Republicans that I see. And that's dangerous. Okay.

Progressive women. Your words are garbage, and you're a bad person at this point. Gone wild. All right, a little bit early today. We have Beth Ann Rossega coming up at the top of the hour. Elisa Hayes, or Hacy, this is a little bit different, progressive woman. She's a Fort Mill, South Carolina. And she is apparently a pistol-packing mama. And wants Republicans to count their days if they happen to encounter him. So not just Trump, not just wishing Trump's death and it'll be Mardi Gras. This is a message, David of Lexington, to all Republicans. You might be on her list. Here's today's progressive woman gone wild. Count your days, presidential party. If I see any one of you and I know who you are, I'm not going to have to say it out loud. I know. If I see any one of you and I have a loaded shotgun, I'm putting it between your eyes. It starts with Trump first, obviously, and then it goes down the line of power. So if any of you guys are coming across my path and I happen to see you, it will be your last. I have a good. I, Alyssa Haas, don't, David, write that name down. She's got a shotgun, any Republican. Not just Trump. Of course, she starts with Trump. And again, many of these we come across are retired teachers, their teachers, their nurses usually, you know, in the areas dealing with kids or adults in a caring way, and yet they are nuts and continuing to threaten violence. All right, side question today. Greek Independence Day hit us with that. This social media thing is a little bit disappointing. in that they bought, it seems to me, the principal arguments of addiction, some of the stuff Henry was talking about, over a lot of days of the trial, big time stuff, Fox even saying this is very similar in its own way, the enormity of it, to tobacco, yet they only award it $3 million in damages. And this is a jury award. Now, here in Philadelphia, You know, you do anything and you're a corporation. They started a hundred million. They're not letting you out of there. So I don't know why that's the case. What it is that made them reluctant to see this. They were both negligent failure to warn are the things that Google meta were engaged in. And it's pretty clear they bought the addiction. Yeah, and Fox says saying, too, $3 million is going to have zero impact in accountability. Well, I would argue this is going to play out bigger than that. If it were a bigger verdict, that would help to put it on the radar screen. So does either party see the advantage of pouncing on this and saying, yeah, this is something we can run with and be the champion of. I think AI is something

that parties can the anti-AI you got anybody from Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz on this and think that as I do AI is a big negative and potentially an extreme negative you start with people or the average person you don't talk about Armageddon you start the fact the number of people that are going to lose their jobs because of this oh well maybe they should is that the argument There's a lot of anxiety about AI and who is actually going to profit from it. And that's very few people are going to do that. All right. Let's go to Zenos. He's in on Talk Radio 1210. Zenos, happy Independence Day. Thank you, Dom. And thank you very much. And I'm going to say to you right now, Hronia Pula. David said it pretty good. That means many years to you. Well, thank you. It means many years. We say today, and we say the holidays by Kronia Pula. And one more. Can I just wish some to my Greek brothers and sisters out? It's called Zito Elas. That means hail to Greece. That's her real name, Dom. Hales. Okay. That's our real name. So we say today, Zito Elasme, he's hailed to Greece. Now, can I get to the side question? Oh, absolutely, sure. And then maybe I can chime in a little bit. If you notice, there's two people that wear kilts. One is our Scottish friends. in the far north, and we wear them here. But our kilts, if you go to Greece at the grave of the unknown soldier, you'll see them wearing the kilts. And if you look close, the kilts have pleats in them. And each pleat represents one year of slavery from 1452 to 1821, I believe it's 360-some pleats into it. Wow. As I didn't know. Yeah. That reminds us, and believe me, Dom, if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Our history has passed out. It was slavery. What they had, they had us enslaved. They did what they wanted to us. Whatever, it was slavery. And that's what we, and that is a reminder to us. That's why we're ceremonial. They wear the pleats. Okay, gotcha. That's a great one, Zenos. Thank you, as always. And can I make a comment about that crazy lady with the shotgun? Yes. You know, she better be careful what she wishes for. Because it's getting to the point with these radical left-wing leftists talking like that. You know what, Dom? I can have a gun in the house, but I'm honestly thinking of going to Delaware County, and I'm, truthfully, to get a gun to carry. Because these people are going nuts out here, these liberals. Thank you, Zinos. Be very careful with that. Take training. Jim's little sports shot is certainly you hear rich with that. Great place to go.

All right, 855, 839, 12, 10, you can get on board. Karoline Leavitt addressing this big decision. This is a major moment. We'll see if anybody grabs it, though, and runs with it. Bethann Rosica coming up is incredible. And she's been on this. We've talked with her several times. We have this executive order, President Trump, about... The transgender nonsense in schools, bathrooms, participating in sports. Bethann's got a piece up today abroad in Liberty talking about how many school districts will not directly challenge it, but secretly undercover they're continuing with the same policies. Now, the Department of Ed, I'm going to ask her about this, is threatened many times to go after them. Well, we need an example or two. I mean, come on, the clock is ticking on this. Bring them the court, drag them in there, expose them, find them, make them stop it. This is a hill these people want to fight us on. Okay. We got the high ground. 80, 20, 8515. All that straight ahead. 855-839, 1210. Hey, it's Jen Hatmaker. Here's what I've learned in midlife. Joy isn't the reward you earn after all the work is done. Joy is the work. That's what this new series on For the Love is all about. The sacred yes. It's choosing delight, rest, and pleasure on purpose. Because saying yes to yourself, that's the thing that finally lets you fill your table with everybody else. Come find your sacred yes with me. Follow and listen to For the Love wherever you get your podcasts. Dear Dono on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, Tom DiRano's show, go-to-person on education, particularly insight across our areas. Beth Ann Rosica, writing it Broad and Liberty today. She talks about the number of these school districts, and she's been on this for a while, despite the executive order from the president about the transgender, my words, nonsense in schools, competing in sports, bathrooms, and a whole array of things. somehow or another, these school districts go secretively or undercover and continue the same policies. And I realize there's a lot of balls in the air, but my solution to this is you got to put the resources in, you have to take them to court quickly, go after maximum dollar values, make it as public as possible, put the fear of God in them. How after all this on this 8515 issue? Are they continuing to do this? Let's go to Beth Ann on Talk Radio 1210. Hey Beth Ann, thanks for joining us. Thanks so much for having me on, Dom. So Bethann, if it's secretive, how are you able to figure this out? Well, what's interesting is that their policies are not secretive, yet the actions that they take in their policies are. Okay. So I looked at all the school district policies across our four county area, including Philadelphia. And there are 21 school districts that have published on their website policies that basically say that.

If a child is transitioning at school or using a different name or wanting to be known by different pronouns, the school district is not allowed to tell the parents unless the child gives them permission to do so. And this is, I didn't even get to the others. The others are secondary to this. Even in California, they've ruled against this that you can't be hiding this. I mean, this is the core that when we get the message to a reasonable parent, even if they're a Democrat, they go, whoa, that's it. I got to be told about this, buddy. That's the way it is. No, absolutely, Dom. And what caused me to write about this again is this recent Supreme Court ruling, which you just alluded to regarding California, because the state of California had passed legislation basically mandating what I just said in every public school in the state. And some teachers and parents took them to court. And the Supreme Court has affirmed that it's a violation. They cannot keep these. pieces of information from parents. And I reached out to all 21 school districts that currently have this policy. And I asked them, given the recent Supreme Court ruling, do you plan to make any changes to your policy? And only two that I reached out to even responded to me. The rest of them just flat out ignored my request. Do you print the names in your article or could you tell us something? Yes. Oh, yes. No, absolutely. There's an entire chart in the article that goes through. So interestingly, in Bucks County, the only school district that has a written policy along these lines is Bristol Borough. Similarly, Chester County, Great Valley School District and the Chester County Intermediate Unit have those. Philadelphia School District, of course, has this policy. Delaware and Montgomery County have the highest number of school districts that have these secretive policies to keep this information from parents. And my article lists every school district, and there's a link at the end to the actual school district policy that's posted on their website. Boy, that's a lot of work. That's her clean, and you've been on this quite a bit. So Montgomery County, people understand Delaware County wouldn't have happened 20, 25 years ago. But I would say progressives en masse have taken over there versus what used to be, you know, the Republican War Board and all that. So I think the school districts and school boards just follow that. Have any parents... brought this up, Moms for Liberty groups and all that and going after them on this.

Yes, well, interestingly, my article talks about there are two parents that I know of that have actually filed complaints with the U.S. Department of Education, their Office of Civil Rights. In Haverford Township School District, which is in Delaware County, a mom there has filed a complaint and OCR has assigned it to an attorney, and they're supposed to be action coming forward and investigation coming forward. And then out here in Chester County, Bruce Chambers. who's actually a former school board director of the Great Valley School District. He filed a complaint about a year ago with the Office of Civil Rights, and they are finally initiating an investigation there. So hopefully these things will work their way through the system, and it will be determined that, you know, these policies are unconstitutional and in violation of the Supreme Court ruling. But for now, I continue to encourage parents. who live in these districts to file complaints with the Office of Civil Rights so that it's on their radar. They know what's happening in Pennsylvania and that people are just flat out ignoring, like you mentioned, the presidential executive orders, but now the Supreme Court ruling. So Bethann, is it a function to the teachers are in trouble, they're violating policy then if they tell the parent? Yes. So this is, and I mentioned this in a couple of different places in the article, but yes, basically teachers are provided professional development on just that fact that they cannot tell parents, even if they think it's the right thing to do, they could face disciplinary action from their school district if they informed a parent about something that their child did not want them to know. So when the paper goes home, here's, I remember from some of the stories you and I have talked about, in some of these schools, the paper goes home. And I think the teachers either took the name off, something like that. In other words, if they're using this in school, they might coach the kid up. You can't put that on a paper that your parents are going to see at home. Or they might doctor it themselves or say, don't put your name on it. Well, what's interesting is that most of the school districts that have these policies have a plan that goes into place, a written plan that says when you're communicating with mom and dad, these are the names and pronouns that you're supposed to use. So it is a very deliberate, a very deliberate act to keep information. And I spoke with a teacher at the Chester County Intermediate Unit who asked to remain nameless or anonymous due to retaliation reasons. And that person, that teacher shared with me that in their student information system, they have a place for preferred name and given name. Now, you could argue that, you know, some kids want to go by a nickname. So, you know, maybe that's okay. But this person also shared with me that there's a notes section. And this person shared with me that in that note section, there's information that specifically says, Mom and dad don't know, do not refer to the student in this way. So they're documenting this very, very clearly so that they maintain their policy of keeping this information secret from parents. And that is pretty bold. The paper trail, or in this case, you know, the computer trail is there.

Right, right, exactly. Exactly. I mean, it's, and what's interesting, Dom, is that, you know, I have these 21 school districts in the intermediate unit. However, these are the most bold school districts that actually put their policy in writing and put it up on their website. I guarantee you there are other school districts in the region that are keeping gender transition from parents. They are just not doing it loudly and they are not documenting it for all of the world to see. So the issue is, in my opinion, much more pervasive than what the article shows because I could only verify it. in the 21 districts. But a lot of times these are being handled on a case-by-case basis. And I'm sure if a student said, like, I'm not ready to tell my parents, even if a district didn't have a policy around it, I could see them keeping that information from the parents. And Beth, Am, one of the underlying situations here, the psychology with the parents is, well, we suspect parents, they might take action here. All parents are suspect in this. And I think the courts have addressed that. That that can't be your sense. You have to have some history of something here with the parents. It's pretty severe before you're going to say no parent has a right to know this. Absolutely. And the Supreme Court ruling was very, very clear. I'll quote, it said, but those policies cut out the primary protectors of children's best interests, their parents. And I think that that speaks volumes that the school, many of these school districts think that they know better than what the parents know. And I think at some instances, The school district really believes that these kids could be at harm or something awful would happen to them if their parents knew. But the answer is not to keep this information from parents. The answer is to have a collaborative process, to have a meeting, to have a discussion, to talk to that child about why it's so important to include their parents in this process if that's what's happening. So I felt very good about the Supreme Court's ruling, and I'm hopeful. that we are going to start seeing some changes here, especially with these policy violations that parents have filed with the U.S. Department of Education. Great stuff, Beth. And where do we find it again? Broad and Liberty.com spelled all out and the article published on Monday. So if you go to Broad and Liberty.com, you should be able to find it on our homepage. Thank you, Beth Ann. Have a great weekend. Thank you. Thanks. Take care, Don. Bye-bye. All right. So again, we have all these executive orders, all this huffing and puffing. Beth Ann is a one person ban here. 25, one of these schools. There's more.

And this is maybe even more than just the random trans athlete out there playing against females. This is withholding this from the parents. And all parents are suspect. And the Supreme Court just ruled on this. Why in the world of people, I think, are unaware, busy lives here, what these school districts are doing, the only thing that stops them, filing actions against them up and down the line that they stop it. How do they get elected to school boards? They're activist. And the teachers and others are actually lying to the parents. It's not just they're withholding. They're actually the lie because they're coached up here about how to avoid all these pronouns and also the parents don't see it. Now, some of it's innocuous, but some of these are seven and eight year olds that are deciding to play around with this stuff. Shouldn't the parent be aware and say, yo, what's going on here? All right, big two o'clock hour. We got Dom's Money Melody. Yes, $50 gift card to the Metro Diner again. You want to get in on that. And phone lines are 855, 839, 1210. Dom Giordano, weekdays noon till 3. From Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPH. It is Dom time, and it's 855, 8, 3, 9, 12, 10. That's how you get on board. Dom's Money Melody coming up. I'll take a few calls here on the side question. You heard Zenos, Greek Independence Day, something Greek. Let off the show with this, though, and you may or may not, I think it's worthy to play second time around. Jimmy Kimmel, who's not Greek, he's just a dope. Last night in his monologue, went after Markwayne Mullin. And one of the areas he goes after mowing on is to say, look, this guy is going to be the head of Homeland Security. He is now. And he was a plumber, or he still is a plumber, that there's something wrong. Going after Kristi Noem and her nonsense, we're just starting to see how much he spent, some of this stuff. That's all legit. That's why we got Kristi Noem out of there. But Markwayne Mullin Mowen has some Democrat support. He is an American success story. Yeah, he was a UFC fighter of a sort. And he somehow or another, his father started a plumbing equipment, hardware type of thing, and he built it into millions and millions of dollars of a business. But what if he were a plumber? Let's just say for a moment, this guy was a plumber but got elected senator. Or he's just a plumber. And he supported President Trump. And Trump saw qualities in him to head up Homeland Security. I think many plumbers would be a heck of a lot better than Christine Ome. And they certainly would be better than Mayorkas. I would take the first five plumbers I found. Hey, get in here. Tag in for Mayorkas. Get them out of here. Right? Just imagine. The plumber would say, hey, we have to plumb up the border. You're not coming in here.

And if there's any, you know, sanitary work, then you have the plumber there. All right, here's Kimmel talking about what an outrage it is, that this guy's going to be in charge of our safety. Rudy Giuliani might not be with us much longer, but. Don't worry, Trump's got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up, including his newly confirmed Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, Markwayne Mullin, Markwayne Mullin. Maybe Mellon's better. He is the now former Senator of Oklahoma. Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now. I work for Super Mario. Why not Mark Wade? But honestly, I mean... If Trump is going to keep picking these unqualified people to run the department, why not have more fun with it? I mean, next time instead of Markwayne Mullin, how about Little Wayne for Homeland Security? All right, there we go. So you get the point now. What is it that qualified Majorcas, or any of these people in these jobs? What is it we're always referring to? Some kind of institutional thing? Well, this guy was elected as senator. He has union support, the guy that he wanted to fight with. He has some Democrats supporting him. And what is the qualification to run homeland security? I mean, what degrees? What are we talking about here? Why not a plumber? And the broader thing is this. Look, I think for a lot of people, college education is a way to go. We're still a credentialed society in certain areas, et cetera. But for others, other career paths are the way to go. That's where their interest is. That's where their creativity is. And that's where they would flourish. And this guy, even if he were just a plumber, but the point is he was an entrepreneur who built this into something unbelievable. That's how he got noticed. That's how he ran and won in the Senate. But how does a guy who's marginally... has any intelligence whatsoever. I wouldn't say that about Stephen Colbert. He's a sniper, but he's a lot smarter than Jimmy Kimmel. How in the world do they not get how resentful people are when we go down this path, oh, this guy was just a plumber? What is it that they're trying to get it? Now, Some of the people around President Trump, like Kristi Noem is one, I'm not a fan of Kash Patel. I've told you that. You know that deep down. He's doing some goofy stuff here. But by and large, take a look at some of the people around him. JD Vance. Is there any question of his intelligence? Marco Rubio, who's an all-star in this. Scott Bessent. It's ridiculous.

Why continue to pick on this when the average American goes, wait a minute, what's wrong with a plumber? What is it that you have to be here in order to be in this situation? And it's not like he just was fixing his sink there and he go, yo, get over here, buddy. We want you to be in charge of our national security. And I realize it's alleged humor. But there's something here that just continues to breed. this antagonism toward college because of the arrogance, the insufferability around it. All right, here's one more. And I'm Henry kind of thinking about this. We can talk about it. I kind of like it for the Friday 5, which is a real fun stuff at 1245. Henry, I did it with Kirk last week. We did best TV shows ever. Our list did not match. Shocker. But I'm going to play Keith Hernandez. And I think the five biggest Seinfeld moments were, you know, series of moments in a, in that week, I think there's some, there's one, I don't know how you can watch a show and not pick it. I looked at the top 100. And I did have the soup Nazi in studio at one point. It was great. It was the actor was unbelievable. But the opposite is probably my number one favorite in any sitcom ever when George does it. It was brilliance beyond belief how they executed that. Listen to Keith Hernandez, who was in two Seinfelds, and he had that love triangle. Elaine was dating him, and Jerry was his boyfriend, not in a sexual sense, but moving furniture with him and picking him up at the airport. Oh, my God. Who is this guy? Listen to what he said about the residuals. How much do you think you can make for something? What was it now? 1992. So about 34 years ago, he appeared in those two episodes for a total time of what, maybe 15 to 18 minutes total? Yeah, something like that. Let's say, let's give him 15. And how much residual do you get even? It must go down, I would think. 34 years after the fact, here's Hernandez. How much was your last Seinfeld residual? Well, it varies. I can tell you what on an annual basis is what it is. Sure. It's close to $5,000 still. It's the giving. That episode was like 30 years ago. That is amazing. But remember one thing, I was the guest star.

So he still do Mets games? Does he still want to know? I believe so, yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, and they did the whole thing with him to, not just a boyfriend, but they did the whole thing with the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. assassination, which was beautifully done. Magic Lugie. Magic Lugie. Yeah, beautifully done. Newman was great standing there and that. He spit on us. 34 years later, still getting five grand for nothing, the residuals. I think the all-time residuals show, years after the fact and it's still on, is Lucy, because there were four or five or six different Lucy shows. To the end of time, that's going to be on somewhere on the very show. But Seinfeld is still prime. You show up for 15 minutes. That's exactly what you did. You still get five grand. 34 years later. So we might... What are what all of, like, Jerry's girlfriends make, too? Because there's a lot of famous people who work on the show with him and went out with him on the show. I'm trying to think of who the biggest one is who probably got paid more and gets more in residuals other than the cast itself. It's probably some characters that repeated again and again and again. But Hernandez, I mean, that is amazing. And I think the residuals say a year after, two years after an end, it probably higher than five grand. But imagine the rest of your life collecting checks just because you were in something 34 years ago. It's very messed. Bobby Beninia. That's a good deal. Alan Iverson has that, too. That's why he's not bankrupt. With Reebok, right? Yeah, I don't know if they give him a million dollars a year. I read that somewhere. How is Alan Iverson not bankrupt? Well, he's getting checks from the Sixers. They give him an ambassador this, that, and the other. I mean, you could blow $50,000 tonight. Just, what the heck? Again, peanuts. Yeah, peanuts. All right. It's 855, 839, 12, 10. By the way, I saw it coming in today on the drive. The Rocky statue, I saw it Rocky with these yellow suspender likes. They were pulling up the statue. And there was a big crowd there and all kinds of union guys with hard hats. And they're taking it up. I'm not exactly sure the vehicle they were using. There's a back way to the art museum, really. They're taking the rocky statue and putting it inside. And this, I remember when the rocky statue was in, there was a fight about even to put it there. It's a disgrace to put it at the art museum. They found the right cove for it right there. And arguably, it is the biggest attraction when people come to Philadelphia. I think bigger than the Liberty Bell. I think they've done studies on it. Any day that you go by there, even a routine time, 10 a.m. 15 a.m. There's a line waiting across the street to go toward the Rocky Statue. They may want to run up the steps, too, so it's all interrelated. They're putting it as an exhibition in the museum around it, it's a lure, et cetera. So we'll keep you abreast on that. It's quite a story, though, how that was, oh, that's not fine art. All right, you know, that's art is whatever.

You want to see it as your version of art. They actually have in the art museum drawings of a guy who sat on a New York subway with pencil. And just as the train moved him, he moved the pencil. That was an exhibit one time. So come on, how the Rocky statue is a little bit better than that. All right, let's get a couple on the side, and we have Dom's Money Melody. Let's go to Ralph in Broomall. Hey, Ralph. What do you have today? Hey, Dom. Yeah, about the Greek independence, David. First, I'll just connect a couple of other things. So if I saw Kimmel or Stephen Colbert on the street, I would look at him, and I'd say, no soup for you. You come back one year. Yeah, Stephen Colbert is relatively smart by my estimation. Kimmel is dope. I mean, there's a difference here. And this guy's a plumber, and the audience is laughing at that. How do we have a plumber protecting us? So who would be the candidate for Homeland Security? Does it have to be what? A police chief in Philadelphia or Larry Krasner? I mean, come on. Well, I would almost take anybody that they don't approve of. There you go. That's it. There you go. There you go. Yeah. But Dom, I called about the other Greek thing. So look, I'm going to connect that to something else. Now, if you say the word, the simple phrase, okay. Okay. Now, this is my idea. I didn't read this any place. I believe it comes from the Greek. And in Greek, if you say everything is good and you abbreviate. Ola Kala, if you get okay. That's my idea now. Let me tell you something. I was in China years ago, and these people didn't speak any English, but if I would speak to them and I would say, okay, they understood that. It's like it's universal. So I said to myself, Yeah, it's got to come from an old language. Greek is a very old language. So that's my idea for the day. Thank you, Ralph. Yeah, I think OK might be the most, and you can do it with your hand, you know, that kind of thing. Yeah, that may be it that people get what you're almost, we can try it. Send Kirk off the Mongolia and let's see if they understand it there. Okay. Amelia in South Philly is with us on Talk Radio 12, Dan. Hey, Amelia. I'm Girodanos. Thank you so much for taking my call. You're welcome. I love your show. I listen to you. It's sensible. It's all that. But when you talk, I'm a retired kindergarten teacher. And when I hear this stuff about keeping parents in the dark, my skin crawls, these parents are responsible for the health and welfare of these children. How dare they keep them in the dark? Parents need to know what's going all with their children. And these initiatives just make me insane. And Amelia, a point here is they're not just keeping him in the dark. You know this, but for listeners, they actively have to lie to them, like when papers go home and things in that nature, they actually are involved. You heard her with the notes and all this stuff.

of saying, say this then. Now, that's even more active than just not saying anything. It's ridiculous. And then I want to speak to the Markwayne Mullin issue. Sure. They want to say that that's a disparaging statement to say a plumber. Who is he to label this person? And the man that had blackface on and says horrendous things on the air. But that all gets brushed away because the media likes it. Well, Amelia, he did have women jumping up and down on trampolines with big breasts. You've got to give him that. I mean, that was the intellectual highlight of his career. Yes. And one more thing, and I don't want to take up too much your time, with this ice and this, the business and my grandfather came here from Italy, and he would, they put those people through the paces. We have his manifest when he came into the United States. You, he, there was his name. You had, it stated where he was going. He wasn't like dumped onto a, into a field. Okay. He had to have a job. And if, and they, and they examined them. And if they found a hangmail, they were back on that boat. They didn't want anybody sick or anybody that's just going to live in the street. Thank you, Amelia. Thank you, as always. Appreciate it, though. But do call us again, Amelia. Great stuff whenever you call. 855, 8, 3, 9, 12, 10. Right now, though, it is time for... It's the money melody. ...a's money gone. All right, this is an outstanding prize we have all this week. You'll win a $50 gift card to the Metro Diner.

So I'm going to give you a Greek-American person today. Okay. This person, who will be the money melody singer, is a man of many voices. Many, many voices. In addition, with baseball season, you know, starting up tonight, Phillies, obviously tomorrow. He also played a disgruntled, disgraced baseball PA announcer at one point. Oh, yes, that's great. I'm going to play you this Greek American, a man of many voices, doing the voice of Bruce Springsteen here. Oh, man. I want to know this Greek American singing here. Let's take a listen. Greek American man of many voices. I don't know if I would identify that as not spring scene if I heard it. Yeah, he does a great impersonation. And that's broken down sports color analyst. Oh, my God, yes. All right. 855 and there's a Pennsylvania connection. Isn't that where he goes, I think?

in the film. Oh, I forget. I'm pretty sure it's Pennsylvania. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's on occasionally. 855-839-1210. Hit us with that. You're off to the Metro Diner with a big $50 gift card. Let's get the winner next. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. It's the money melody. That is right. All right. This is a pretty straightforward one today. I didn't know this guy was Greek, and I didn't know he was a man of this kind of ability. to imitate people. I just knew he was a great actor and a couple of things I've seen. Listen to this cover of Springsteen and Henry, we're looking for the name of the actor. Yes, correct. The actor that is singing here. Okay. Want this man of many voices, Dom. All right, let's go to Steve in Bordingtown. Hey, Steve, who is it? Michael Constantine. No, Michael Constantine is the commission, isn't he? No, no, no, no. Michael Constantine's Greek, though. Yes. I'm trying to think of the major role of, he's a great character actor. Yeah. Wow. I don't see him doing this, though. Joe in Northeast Philly on Talk Radio 1210. Hi, Joe. Hi, I would like a show. I'm guessing, and I think I'm right. Joe Piscopo? Oh, he's Italian. Come on, buddy, here. Quaimo's a pison. He led the Columbus State parade and told up, it should have been me up there. Why did they take a guy from New York? Come on, Joe. No, no. We got the countries mixed up. Betzino snows. Michelle and Philly. Hi, Michelle. Who is it? Hey, Don. I think it's Hank Azaria. Oh, right. There you go. From the Simpsons, from the Simpsons. Nice he played Henry, yeah, and that's a head-on Bruce Springsteen. I can't picture that guy being able to do that. Yeah, he's dressed just like him and he's... Right. So this, his band's name is the Easy Street Band. Right. Instead of Easy Street Band. So he must, he actually does this a lot. Yeah, he does this and doing that. Yeah, enough that there's, you know, covers him out there doing it. Yeah, that's a really good cover. Very difficult to do. All right, so I tried this earlier on Twitter. Springsteen is going to headline, I guess he's the headliner in St. Paul, the No Kings. Here we go again this Saturday. The foursome is Springsteen, Joan Baez, Bernie Sanders, and Fonda. And every single person voting on Twitter said, yeah, Jane Fonda's worse. She's a traitor. Then they spute Springsteen hatred. All right, who's worse? Bernie Sanders or Springsteen? I say Springsteen. It's insufferable to me. Bernie is what he is. He's pretty straightforward. You know, there's a bit of humor. I'm trying to remember here at Talk Radio 1210 how we started down this road. Dan is one of the most virulent Springsteen haters. Just incredibly. I've always seen it as great content to go after him.

And to analyze, how did he go from that kind of popular, when you get the popularity that people go double figures, they see you over the course of your career, that's big. And it's the political stuff started. That's way back with John Kerry. But it's also the fraud of income inequality. I mean, it's just ludicrous. And this is where the Democrat Party is constantly. There were 10, 50, $100 million screaming about income inequality. Nancy Pelosi, Springsteen, the whole gang. By the way, as much as we covered it yesterday, and it was amazing, to hear Krasner at the airport facing off with men and women trying to protect America and just making, you know, a fairly decent salary versus this insufferable blowheart. Karoline Leavitt. today really went off at the press conference just moments ago about Krasner threatening to imprison ICE agents. So people in the outside, they take a look at this and they're legitimately around the, I've seen it all over the place in media. They're legitimately furious. They can't believe it. We have come to not accept it, but we've got to deal with it on a daily basis. And we look at it and just say, you know, how is Philadelphia like this? I'm telling you, this guy, I believe, is ratcheting up. He's got a base of support of the mob in Philadelphia. I think he's going to run for mayor against Shirel Parker. Now, I happen to think he could probably cause more damage as DA than his mayor. But then he's got budget, he's got the face of Philadelphia. He names of, can you imagine the, Danielle Outlaw, call your office. You're back, honey. Imagine how bad Daniel Outlaw is. He would probably find, he would run Philadelphia almost at a Zohran Mamdani level. And he's more arrogant, more insufferable than Zohran Mamdani or anybody. He is one of the most insufferable, arrogant people in America. When he stands up on a stage each week for the press conference, And he has many of these sycophants or sometimes they're just citizens stand up while he sits down on a chair drinking coffee on these little marks. One was a woman with a walker. What kind of guy? He's not a guy. He's a punk. What kind of person does this? And by the way, Larry, you're still impeached on the Dom Giordano show. I don't care what you say. We did impeach you. But watch for him playing off this Trump ICE issue. to run for mayor to the left, the very left of Mikie Sherrill Parker. It will be interesting how he negotiates the race issue there. But he's done it before because he is the great white savior. What does it say about Philadelphia that you got Krasner and you have Rochelle Ballal, the sheriff, and the mayor making a fool of herself with his tax on Uber and Lyft? Well, what it says is this is what we're up against, but. We don't even have a friendly territory, the suburbs. They've gone the other. We're in occupied territory. All right, I'm coming to you next. Hit us with that all-time thing connected to the Greeks. Person, place, or thing, it doesn't matter. And by the way, again, thanks to the Metro Diner. We'll have it again tomorrow and Friday. 50 bucks goes a long way there. So that was a great cover today, usually the covers by...

Four seconds in, I've had it. But that was, I think he captured the essence of Springsteen with that. Totally. Yeah. He's. I mean, the stage presence, too. Yeah. Like if you weren't wearing glasses and you needed him, you'd be like, that's Bruce Springsteen. And what's his major voice on The Simpsons? I mean, he's got a few. I mean, Mo. Does he do a poo? I think he does. He did a poo. Principal Skinner. Principal Skinner, okay. Superintendent Chalmers. That is quite a range, yes. Yeah, those guys are in charge of these school districts. No, no, no. We're not going to tell the parents, right, Chalmers? 855, 839, 1210, grab a line with Dom, Henry, and Kirk on Talk Radio 1210.

Okay, it is Dom time. 855-839, 12, 10, you get on board. So again, Larry Krasner, his antics yesterday nationally, people are shocked. And it's true. Nationwide, you don't see DA standing at the airport facing down like Marshall Dillon ice. That's what this guy does. And that's where we are in Philadelphia with him. But the story that maybe got me the most today out of all these things, well, two stories, they're Republicans. You know, maybe I just said, I think Greg Rothman we had on yesterday is a great guy. And I think he's doing some creative things to drive the party statewide. But you had these Republicans this morning, and they did the right things in Harris, they came up with this affordability showing the Republican Party. Here's our agenda on affordability. And then they say, we want to get rid of right now the gas tax as long as what's going on in Iran. And I think the entrails of this could go on for another month or six weeks. So it could help people, could help businesses. They have a Democrat, Senator Buscala. Why are they not moving on it, though? I see them announcing this. And again, we are one of the biggest for these people, anybody conservative, anybody Republican even, we are the biggest guy, the easiest thing to do to put your arguments out there and rally the troops. I mean, we shouldn't have to chase you on this. You ought to be saying, I want to come on. This is important. We got a Democrat. We may get more. Mike Johnson saying, we should put up in the airports. the Democrats voting to defund the TSA in some way that was easy for people to see. Do it. Where are the Republicans in lines with these people? John Fetterman was there. He was there in Washington a couple times. And even bringing coffee, donuts, something of that nature. It's a minor expenditure. Go all out. The ice people are handing out water and all. And people appreciated that. Small things. I'm telling you, I'm not going to be Debbie Danner with the midterms. But I don't see this. Oh, there's still time and all that. To me, that's lacking urgency. I don't see the issue. I don't see the pressing on this. I just see more defense than anything. And I say it every day. Democrats have two things. They got a word, affordability, even though fraudulent, with the media help, that gives them something. And you're going to see it again this Saturday, a couple days from now, the all-out unmitigated hatred for Trump. That drives people out to vote. Hatred works just as well, sometimes better as does. I'm voting for this person. I'll crawl over broken glass. You hate the other side. Yep. By the way, I see Earl of Tacconi. Oh, man. I'm telling you, you got to stick with us to the end of the show. He's right about this answer in the Greeks. It's a biggie. We were just talking about that back here too. It is a biggie. Oh, it's a whole island devoted to this.

We'll have to have Zenos rule if it's true or not, but physiologically, it definitely is. It definitely is. Oh, boy. Wait to you hear the other ones. Oh, yeah. I'm going to one here in a second. It's distracted me from the midterms. So I put it at least 60-40 losing the midterm, losing the house at this point. And it manages me is it doesn't have to be that way. We want to at least have a horse race. And I don't want to be sitting in here that night. Like when Mikie Sherrill, what was it, 813, Mikie Sherrill, News Nation just said, is the next governor of New Jersey. I'm going, I'm not reporting that. Then a bunch of others, still not reporting it. Then we go to Matt, and he had packed up and left the Chedarelli headquarters. And I'm thinking, all right, now we have to report it. That's what happened. It still stuns me. I could see losing to her. I thought it was going to be close. Maybe I was fooled by that October 15th event. If you were there, you know what I mean. It was unbelievable in Wildwood and at Mulligans. But the midterms at this point, what is it that will energize voters? Save America Act getting it passed. If you could bottle Scott Presler enough, it might happen. But right now, tenuous times. All right, let me go to Mark in Philly. All right, here we go on Talk Radio 1210. Hello, Mark. Why are you laughing? Okay, well, based upon the answer they put up there. So what is it associated with the Greeks? I don't know. I mean, I get it. I get it why you call it. I call it the Twork holiday of the year. It's the Black Greek Festival. Oh, yes, the... The Greeks, the Greek fraternities in town, Mark. Yeah, I think it's all the Washington every year. Well, no, it's coming back to the Belmont Plateau. And here is where they've had trouble for years in talk radio. Years. Way back to WWDB. And I remember the merchants on South Street boarding up every time like a hurricane was coming. And then they got attacked for boarding their business up. Exactly right. Well, that was my answer. Have a good day, guys. All right, thank you. I'm good. I let that one lie there, but the Greek fraternity stuff. I had no idea that it was that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it came to Philadelphia, Prince, and then we'd go to South Street, and there was just mayhem. And one year, what happened is their protectors had a back away from all this because they attacked gay couples, gay people on the... South Street. And then we were off to the races. But actually, you could see them every year. I forget it was sometime in early June, I want to say, or May, lining up and they take it out of the back room. They're putting up on their windows on South Street. The plateau, not as bad. It's more out of the way. And I think that's where it's gone back to this time. Not sure if that's the Greeks, but isn't Jay-Z headlining at the Belmont Plateau? I'm pretty sure. It's him, and I don't know if it's roots or not, but there's some pretty big headliners. Let's go to, we haven't gotten enough individuals. Let's get some individuals. Jesse.

And Trexelial. Wait did we get to Earl? I'm not going to do that back to back. We need a little bit of build up here. Jesse and Trexel Hill. All right, Jesse. What do you have? Calisperra. Calisperra, Posiste, Don. That's good afternoon. And how are you in Greek? Greeks had some great sculptors, but they had one great painter. He was born in Crete. He went to Venice to study the great Italian painters like Tintoretto and Titian. Then he went to Spain to study the great Spanish painters. He lived in Spain and painted all his life in Spain, some great works, but he always signed every painting with his Greek name, Domenicus Dietacopoulos. And the world knew him, and you knew him, Dom, as El Greco. Oh, yeah. Now, Jesse, a couple things. Are you Greek? No, I'm Irish, but I hung around a lot of pizza places that were run by Greeks. I mean, every time you went in there, they had like five guys named Greek, named Nick working in there. I detected you, though, kind of like the poor man's Joe of Exston. You have that little classical edge to you, not quite as convoluted as Joe. Right. But you had around a lot of Greek pizza powers. Okay, well, thank you, Dom. Thanks, Jesse. How's this guy no Greek? How many Greeks do we have listening? I was going to say, that pronunciation was a little too good for him being... Oh, yeah. Exactly. Well, here is a... Wow. Here's a half Greek with another guy who's half Greek. Let's go to Drew an Upper Darby. Hey, Drew, afternoon. Happy Independence Day, or half of it for you. Your other half was not independent. Yeah. Thanks, Tom. I guess that means I can only drink a half a bottle of Uzo. There you go. There you go. Hey, hey, Tom, man, what Jimmy Kimmel said is a disgrace. You know, a plumber is an honest. job man and one day he's going to have a plumbing emergency and the plumber that shows up i hope he heard his comments well even more you know i'd like to see i'd like to see mark wean mowen go on his show and say jimmy i'm taking off my ring now you know that kind of thing yeah yeah you know Markwayne Mullin wolf uh mohen he can he can lose his ring down the drain he'll go in and get it you know But, you know, Dom, earlier, Robert B. Salem was talking about Greek mythology. And it made me think, Dom, all those islands, upon the ending of World War I, all those islands in the Aegean Sea that are just miles off the coast of Turkey, you know, they were awarded. to the Greeks for Greek sovereignty, you know, and everyone wanted a piece of the Ottoman Empire, aka, you know, the sick man of Europe. And Cyprus in particular has been so contentious. The Greeks and Turks have almost gone to war a few times over the decades. But here's my answer, Dom. This guy is the original Tio. He was around long before Mr. Terell Owens, and that's...

Tony Orlando and Dawn. He's, well, Tony Orlando, sorry, he's half Greek and he's half Puerto Rican. Thanks, Don. What a combination. And I almost had Tony Orlando come to Mulligan's. It just didn't work out. You know, I still am working on that. I know that. Now, Johnny's fixated on Joe Concha. For some reason, and Joe Concha getting, I mean, that's going to be difficult. You know, can't work miracles. Improbable, not impossible. Yeah. You can always hit me on Twitter and say, all right, could you get this person at Mulligan's? I'd love to meet them there. It's going to be hard to beat Kelsey Grammer. When he was there, I was just mesmerized with the guy. I thought I was watching a TV show. And just the niceness, the down-to-earth. Every bit an actor, the slightest movement was all top plate actor. The guy really could do anything. All right, it is a lightning round. We want to get a winner here. It's been great answers today. And trust me, the Earl of Tacconi. I'm not saying it's going to be the winner because there have been really good ones. It's outside the box. He doesn't disappoint. He doesn't disappoint. And Joe of Eckstein is in here. Oh, no. God, it's classical, too. It's classical. He might do some of this. But that, from Drexel Hill, he, Jesse, he's got a touch of Joe of Exston in him, I think. 855, 839, 1210. Tom's Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning round. All right, it is now time. Lightning round. Hit us quickly with that all-time associated with something Greek. I'm looking at Houston, George Bush Airport. And I'd say the lines are moving. They're not doing the Chuck Schumer shuffle. I mean, there's still, you know, for this time of day. etc. There's still a lot of people, but they're actually walking, not pausing. That's always a good sign. Even if it's, you know, like Disney, the line goes on forever. Not a big jam up. So in some of these places, they're getting 50% or more calling out. And as this goes on, you can't have people sleeping in their car. I mean, here's another thing. Couldn't Republicans do this? Here's what I would do. These guys and women that are working this. Bring in some kind of elaborate system. I don't know. Campers, vehicles, get them a nice comfortable bed to stay there. It goes in them. Get him a meal. Oh, you can't do that. Go to hell. You can do it. What are they going to do to you? Arrest you? Or arresting you on Mikie Sherrill here. You can't give the TSA workers a bed in the camper here individually and other supplies.

Do that rather than talking about it. Just stop. Do something here that shows where we are on this. Otherwise, shut up about it. Alan in Hamilton, New Jersey. Alan, what's yours? She did her job every day of the week, but never on Sunday, Malina McCurry. An all-time Greek, very Greek-looking. Yes, probably one of their more beautiful women. I'm trying to think the most beautiful Greek. Who would that be? Maybe it's this guy. He's one of the most famous Greeks. Jay and Ben Salem. Jay, what's yours? Hey, Dom. Great actor, Broadway movies. He was, I think, the most memorable convict in the dirty dozen. I think he played Zorba on Broadway. Kelly Savalas. Who loves you, baby? Yep. You know who says that, too? This man does. Joe of Exten on brand. Here we go. Good afternoon, Joe.

Hello, Donald. Good afternoon. Good afternoon, Joe. Greek instrumental music has a unique sound and flavor, unlike the classical music of Western Europe. All right, Joe. That's right on brand. When he ends, the sentence ends. That's it. You're not getting another syllable out of it. Greek instrumental music. Oh, my God. It is just... This guy could teach companies out of brands. All right, Joe. Tell us how do you come up with this stuff all the time. He's real. He's not an actor. He's not playing the role. He's not Hank Azarian doing a voice. We need Joe of X-in imitation thing tomorrow. Anybody think they could imitate? Can anybody imitate Zenos, do you think? Is he among the easier? Oh, I don't know about that. Yeah, that's what that's a whole. Give it a try tomorrow, random time, some of the regulars. Robert of Ben Salem seems like the guy with the deep voice plays Sam Elliott. Yeah, Sam Elliott. That's who we met him at an event. So Robert reminds me of Sam Elliott. Andrew and Ewing on Talk Radio 1210. Hello, Andrew. Hey, Dom, I have one. I think it's a little unusual here. I'm Italian. My in-laws are half Greek. So I learn this game on Easter they play. They die. Easter eggs are very dark red. The game is called Togreshma. And what you do is you turn to the person to your right who also has an egg, and you tap the egg on theirs, and whoever winds up at the end of the game without a cracked egg is the win. Yeah, and it symbolizes the cracking of Jesus' tomb and his resurrection. That's my side of it. Very nice. Andrew has an interesting voice, and he's very elevated also. By the way, Joe of Columbus, though, it's got to be in the three or four finalists with them throwing $1 bills at the feet of the pride. And then said, yeah, Italian women would have gum on their shoes and pick them up as they walked along. Oh, I didn't know there was $100 under there. uh joe in boarding town on talk radio 12 10 all right joe what do you have uh yes the grill of the rolls royce is patterned after the parthenon Very nice, Joe. And did we save the best for last? This is really outside the box, and I think it's... Henry's Leary doesn't think it's accurate. I'm not sure here. I think it is. I'm going to have to get this explanation. Oh, boy. Yeah, I think this is... Tacconi's well-known for this. Let's go to the Earl of Tacony. Earl, what's yours today?

Don't question me, Henry. I was going to go with a dog Giordano as a teacher answer. But I figured, oh, let me go nuclear today. In the 7th century BC, there was a Greek woman by the name of Sappho. She was a poet who's known for her poetry where she expressed her love and passion for other women. She was born on the aisle of Lesbos, which is where we get the term lesbian from. Yes, Lesbos is a real place. Henry, do you dispute that? You never heard that? Why? I don't know. How did we get from Lesbos to Lesbos? The other team? Well, the people on the island of Lesbos are called lesbians. But in the 19th century, the German word for lesbian, Leisbech, derived from the term Lesbo. And that's how it became associated with female homosexuality. Okay. There we go. Thank you. I don't need his break down. No, it's a real island. He's accurate about that. Oh, I didn't doubt it was a real island. I just don't know how we got from A to B. Exactly. Lesbos is, you can look at your, Joe of Exiton will send you a five-page document on that. Classically. All right, Kirk. These were great today. We did the Greek thing. It's always fun. Yeah, and one of the Greek word is there's a lot of. Plethora. Yeah, there you go. Very nice. So I'm going to go with, I'm going to go with Mark with the Tork Festival. Oh, okay, that's right. Yeah, with the Greek fraternities. Yeah, with the Greek fraternities. I like the few today. Gary in Newtown at the Anthra Coffee Cup, Joe Columbus, pig fat Greek wedding story. I like got into Zinos with the pleats in there. Drew of Upper Derby, you know, very apropos, you know, half Greek. So he throws Tony Orlando half Greek in there. Andrew and Ewing with the Togrisma game. Right. Earl, the end, the story of lesbian. It's staggering. I got to say the one that tickle me the most was Joe of Columbus, as you mentioned. The whole story, the Big Fat Greek Wedding, and then the Italian women with the gum on her shoes. This was a very tough field today. This was an all-star type of thing. All-Star on the murder's row. Tomorrow, we have in studio, God knows if I ever asked Alante McCauley, I'm going to ask him the side question tomorrow and see what he does. Let's prep him for that. We have Alan West and we have Congressman Perry. And we have Henry at the ballpark once an hour checking in. It is opening day. And the Phillies do go all out. And this is a big. season, a lot of it. And there's nothing in sports quite like baseball's opening day, even though it's in March. Usually it's the first rights of spring. I wish it was like a week later. Yeah, definitely. I don't know whether the temperature will be tomorrow. It's pretty hard to say, right, to spring, and it's 41 degrees. All right. The afternoon show is next.
