The Friday Top Five! (Full Show 3-6-26)

It is tarnished something that should not have been tarnished. I mean, these people are lawbreakers that are being removed. And suddenly, you know, somehow the narrative is turned around that the police officers and law enforcement that work in your own community are the bad guys and the criminals are the good guys. That's outrageous to me. That is what been done. Well, look, I was impressed with her in one sense, to your point, I've had her on over the years, but in the spin room. She was a star, and she was very good on her feet with people coming after her. But there was a quality of she's going to stand out, to your point, about the hard work. I think of what a homin does versus what I saw here. Yeah, Tom Homan can stand on his feet, too, but he's not out seeking the cameras. Right. It's not out taking pictures. He's not making events for himself. But let's remember, the president's the one that got elected based on his agenda. And your job as a cabinet secretary is to fulfill your portion of that agenda, not make yourself the star of the agenda. The star of the agenda is the president of the United States. Absolutely. In your sense, with military background, congressional background, where are we right now moving forward in Iran? My point being the end game with this, because everything seems to have gone incredibly well. Yet they still, in my mind, in your military guys, you tell me, are you a bit surprised they still have a degree of command and control more than I thought they would? I'm not necessarily that surprised about it. I think, you know, 50 or so of the top. uh we'll say governance remember this isn't governance like the united states of america right so but about 50 maybe of the top have been taken out that leaves a lot at the lower echelons to be uh you know to be executing orders knowing what the orders were regardless of what was taken out at the top and so i'm not actually surprised about that and i think that needs to be a you know, of major interest to Israel especially, because remember, we don't, you know, we're barred from taking out a leadership of other countries. We don't, we don't do things like that. Now, this is a military operation as much as everybody calls it a war. I just call it like a rear-end weapon. It's a thumping, you know. There's not much of a war going on here. It's just taking a beating. you know, once we relieve them of all the assets of war, we're going to have to take out the command and control. And I'm not sure exactly how deep that goes. And quite honestly, I've asked that question, that precise question, and haven't gotten a real good answer because the answer involves what Iran tells us their command and control status is. And I don't believe anything those people say.

But I will tell you this, what of major concern to me are the small targets that have not yet been serviced adequately. And that's not what, that's what people aren't saying. Of course, you're seeing the missiles, the missile launchers, the nuclear component. But they have a whole lot of small. let's just say interdiction capabilities out on the open ocean. I'm not talking about blue water navy stuff. I'm talking about stuff that you could see down in Philadelphia just out on the or in the bay or something like that. These remote controlled boats that they have that are fast and are easily packed with explosives could really wreak havoc on. on the operation from a world economic sense. And that's a concern for me. Oh, absolutely. I don't know about your Democrat opponent, but Democrats in general, and you'll be facing this and you're savvy how to deal with it, they work affordability into all this. In other words, I think Dick Durbin, one of them said it's like we're dropping a hospital every day on Iran because we don't have that money for hospitals. What's the counter... Look, I think it's smarter than to use this because they have nothing else. And the media is going to run with affordability. How do we counter that? Well, I think you're right. They are going to do that. And, of course, you know, no one ever complains about the enemy doing bad things, blowing up your people and all that stuff until they do it. But I think one of the things we need to do, because they are going to counter it with that, is remind every American citizen how many Americans Iran has killed. Every single day. We need to be reminding of that. And look, the number is not incalculable. It's not... definite, but it's in the tens of thousands of Americans, maybe the hundreds of thousands of Americans that Iran has killed. We need to be reminding of that every single day because that's what this is really about, is that being furthered and continued. Quite honestly, the other thing we need to do, and hopefully we're working on this right now, I know I am, is a solution set for that. And let me just, since, you know, I'm talking to you publicly here. I think that once this thing kind of gets wrapped up, generally speaking, that Iran and their ability to produce oil should pay for this operation. Absolutely. I mean, I know that we've got to pay up front right now, you know, so we've got a credit card going right now. But when the bill comes due, you know, Iran likely is at least, I don't know if it's going to be a free country, but it's going to be a country that chooses its own destiny and is not threatening the rest of the world. Well, we've done the world a huge favor here. And there's a cost to that. Well, Iran should pay for the cost of that. Well, I couldn't agree more. And with our listeners, you know your base here. That's exactly where they are. And that's a great counter to affordability. It makes common sense. And we have done the world a huge favor here. One other item, Congressman Scott Perry with us, you're one of several Republicans who have voted to subpoena Pam Bondi over the Epstein files.

Yes, sir. And here again, look, the truth is the truth. It doesn't have an agenda. I can just tell you, I am not satisfied. And my bosses, my constituents are not satisfied with the answers that we've gotten from the Department of Justice. She's the Attorney General of the United States. I'm sure she can handle the questions. And I think that a lot of people are saying, well, You know, you just want to know more about the Epstein stuff and it's all political. I have some questions. You know, I have some questions that are pretty easy. Like, you know, we heard it was on your desk and it was horrific. And then suddenly, you know, it wasn't that bad and we weren't going to release it. So what happened there? But Dom, I got to tell you, I got a lot of other questions. Like, when is Brenner, Brennan and Clapper, are they going to be indicted? Is there an investigation? We referred charges? What about all these people involved in the Russia collusion investigation? What's the status of that? Is anybody going to be indicted? What about the people that violated constitutional rights of people on January 6th and misapplied the law and destroyed their lives? These are people that were government officials. Is there going to be accountability? This all goes to broad and widespread accountability that is at the hands. of the Department of Justice. We're in the legislature. We can't do that. It is their job to do that. I want to know if any of it's happening. My constituents, my bosses want to know, is anything happening? We've been waiting. Look, we understand the wheels of justice correctly applied, turn slowly. We get that. We want that to be accurate. But it's been a year and some months now. What's the status, right? Absolutely. Well put. Where do we find you to help out in this ongoing campaign? Well, on the campaign side, it's Patriots for Perry.com or just Patriots for Perry. You can find me there. On the official side, it's Rep Perry. Congressman, thank you. Thanks always for responding. We appreciate it very much. Thank you. God bless you in your audience.

All right, it is Dom time here on Talk Radio 1210, unusual, but big time stuff here. Senator Dave McCormick is with us, YouTube.com slash 1210 WPHT. Senator, as always, but particularly during these times. Thanks for joining us today. Yeah, my pleasure, Dom. How are you? Very well. I wanted to start out with something because in the shuffle, we might not underline this. And as we have the war, we have Christine Ome, we'll talk about something big that you and Senator John Fetterman are working on for first-time homebuyers. I think maybe one of the last times we've talked. When we hear the median age is 40, that shatters the American dream. So what are you guys trying to do?

Yeah, thank you. Yes, Senator John Fetterman and I are big sponsors. We have a number of provisions and amendments and something called the Road to Housing Act, which deals with this, Dom. It's the average, when I was a kid, it was 28, 29 for homeownership was the average age. It's now 41. And home prices have gone up by 75% in the last five years in Pennsylvania. This is unsustainable. The American dream, work hard. Get a good job, work hard, play by the rules. You own a home. That's part of building wealth. It's part of the America Dream. And we just, that's out of reach for too many people. So this act, this piece of legislation, which we're going to vote on next week, eliminates red tape, makes it easier for home builders to build homes. We're about 100,000 homes short in Pennsylvania. Senator John Fetterman and I have a number of provisions to help repair existing home stock, make it easier for veterans to get access to affordable housing. And it's going to be one of those areas where I think we got bipartisan support. And I'm hoping this bill can get passed in the next month and get in the president's desk and we can help Pennsylvanians get access to the homes that they want and deserve. Absolutely. So. Your military background, your military service immediately, I saw you on Sunday, maybe even Saturday, national news, they called on you. Where are we at this point with the war in Iran? Well, I'd say, you know, about 35 years ago to the day. I was just coming out of Iraq after Operation Desert Storm, which was up until that point, the most significant collection of military capability in our history and a wildly successful operation. What we're seeing now is beyond imagination in terms of the quality and competence of our military. They've been at this, I guess, six or seven days now. It's been an incredibly successful military operation. I believe the president has complete constitutional authority to act against this threat from Iran. But we got a lot of work to do. This is early days. The focus militarily is destroying the missiles. ballistic missiles, which they have thousands of, destroying the missile launchers, destroying the manufacturing capacity to build drones and missiles. They supplied 57,000 drones to Russia, destroying the Navy, which can put mines in the streets in the Straits of Hormuz, and giving us confidence that the biggest state sponsor of terror, the country that said they want to destroy the great Satan with nuclear weapons, has no path. to a nuclear weapon. Those objectives are very clear, and our military is systematically on a path to achieving them. Now, I just had Scott Perry on, Senator, and again, I agree completely with what you've said, but the command and control still is there, given the number of missile launchers and the stuff that they have. How do we erode that? And, you know, I'm looking down the road even a few weeks. What's the path?

toward a regime? Is it like Venezuela? Is that doable where they may be authoritarian to us, but we can deal with them. They're friendly, no nuclear weapon and all that. How do we get there? What's the thought process? Well, first, the military operation, I think, is well underway, but they have enormous amount of capability. And for those who didn't, think we should do this, think about a year from now, or two years from now, with them building ballistic missiles, mining the Straits-Fermuz and building their nuclear power, how nuclear capability, how significant a threat this would be. We now have ear superiority. So the mission has changed from defanging their ability to shoot down our aircraft to a hunting mission. We're over top of Iran right now with our aircraft, with our satellites, with our missile capability, and we're targeting. bargaining those interceptors. They're mobile interceptors, so they're moving around a lot. But the goal is to essentially destroy all that capacity. And there's so much of it, it's going to take a while to do that. But the threat to American military forces has gone down a bit, not entirely, but gone down a bit because of the effectiveness. So we got to achieve those military objectives. The president's been clear. In terms of what follows next, I think the reason Americans and some Americans have pause on this is we were all scarred by 20 years of war. I was. You know, I was a big defender and supporter of the operations in 2002. It was a mistake. It was a mistake to commit ourselves to nation building. It cost 5,000 American lives. It cost trillions of dollars of American treasure. So we can't fix Iran. That's not the job here. The job is to get rid of a regime that was killing and could pose even greater threat to Americans and lay a pathway for the Iranians to determine their future. That could happen in a couple ways, Don. It could be a version of the same regime. where we're down three or four layers in the leadership, and there's someone that's more pro-Western, willing to commit to eliminate their ballistic missiles, willing to commit to eliminate their nuclear program and living in relative prosperity. Maybe not someone who we love, but someone who's willing to go forward, sort of like the Venezuelan model. Another possibility is complete regime change. It's early to tell. But the American people should have confidence. that we don't have any obligation to insert ourselves into this and fix it. Our obligation is to the American people to eliminate the threat. And this gives the Iranian people, as the president has said, the best opportunity in decades to shape their future, to shape their destiny. And that's what I hope and think will happen. Yeah, I think you're making the lesson argument. I would also add to it, and I think you would too. The instincts of President Trump are not to nation-build. He's never going to be about that. It's not that type of deal. It's not. 100%. He says it over and over again, and I think, but he's also had the courage to do something that no president has done. Presidents say, whether it's Obama or Biden or others, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

And yet is there's this march towards having a nuclear weapon, haven't been willing to take the tough actions necessary to ensure that that threat never materializes. And I'm proud of the president for taking this. It wasn't an easy decision, I'm sure. But I think we're in a position to protect Americans. And I think this is, for those who question, I think this is America first, because it's putting our safety and our agenda front and center. We see the departure now of Secretary Kristi Noem. And again, there were a lot of reasons why even in talk radio and hear me, we called for it. One of the biggest is I didn't like how it was handled in Minnesota. Immigration is still the signature issue. I think heading into the midterms, President Trump, but I think this really made things difficult. You've seen the Pennsylvania polling even. People are vaguely supportive. But they say in quotes, I don't like the tactics of ICE. What I think they mean is the whole way it was rolled out in Minnesota until Holman got there. Yeah. What's your thoughts, though? But out of nowhere, Markwayne Mullin, what's the reason? Well, first, you know, I've been a CEO for, I don't know, 15, 15 years of my 35 business. When you're the CEO, you've got to have a team you have trust in. Right. And when you don't have trust or faith, you got to make a change. So I admire the president for doing that. You know, Kristi Noem, I know well. She's a friend. She had a tough job. And she made a lot of progress on certain things, like securing the border. So we should give her credit for that. But she made mistakes. And I didn't even know about some of the mistakes until, you know, this came out in the last day or two in terms of the advertising campaign that the president wasn't aware of and so forth. So I think the president, every right to make a change. I'm glad he did. We need to, we need. to have him have confidence in someone who's going to be able to lead this important mission, particularly now. And we're a nation in the middle of combat operations in the Middle East. The threat at home has only grown, which, by the way, is why the Democrat should fund the Department of Homeland Security. In terms of Markwayne Mullin, he's a colleague in the Senate. I know him. He's on the Homeland Security Committee. He is a trusted colleague and friend of the president. I think it's a good choice. I think he'll be confirmed. uh in the senate my my fellow pennsylvania John Fetterman has already said he'll vote for him which is uh important so i i think uh i think we're on a path here to new leadership at the top quite quite soon and i think that's a good thing for the country good good thing for the president where does this all leave us now i'm sure it slows things down to save america act and you have been very vocal publicly particularly the talking filibuster which everybody knows that makes sense that's what a Yeah, well, listen, it's a crazy thing. You scratch your head. I gave a speech on the floor, I guess, last week or two weeks ago, and I said, it's something else when an 80-20 issue, 80-20. Americans, Republicans and Democrats think we should have voter ID. Should we have an election reform that gives people confidence? Half of America, more than half, don't trust our elections. That is a problem. Whether you believe there's a little bit of fraud or a lot of fraud, the fact that the majority don't believe in our elections is a big deal. The Save America Act, it requires two things. It requires proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Pretty basic. And it requires voter ID. You have to have an ID to buy a six-pack. You have an ID to get blood. You have to have an ID to get on an airplane or get married. This is a basic thing. So that's why we got to do it. And the Democrats are obstructing this. They're using some false arguments. They're saying that this will suppress certain groups and so forth. The act. has made a lot of provisions to make sure there's multiple ways to achieve the goals. So if someone, for example, if a woman changed her name through marriage or something, there's a way to go back and verify so she won't be somehow blocked out of voting. So this is something we should do. The Democrats are opposing. And so what I have said is, listen, we need to force the Democrats to go on the floor of the Senate. and stand up half of the democrats and the senator are running for president we got to get that to stand up and say why they're against an 80-20 issue and uh and it's it's not easy um procedurally and the reason that people push back on isn't isn't completely nonsense which is um that that'll give the democracy vote to introduce a bunch of amendments nonsense amendments that will be directed at our incumbents who are running so there's a political price to be paid for opening up the talking filibuster. My opinion is there's a bigger price to be paid by not embracing the thing that most Americans agree we need to do, which is electoral reform and the Save America Act. So that's why I've been such a strong advocate on it and tried to convince my colleagues on the Republican side, but also on the Democratic side, listen, this is bigger than us. This is bigger than party. This is... getting the most basic principle of our great democracy, our republic in place, which is you got to be able to vote and you got to be able to vote with faith. Now, say one more word, Dom, you know this. As the guy who lost his first race by 900 votes and won his second race 15,000 out of 7 million, nobody knows more than me how important it is every legitimate vote and only legitimate ones are counted. When you just said that, I think that's American history to lose that closely and win that closely. I don't know too many times I remember that happening. Well, what my wife says is it means you're just completely crazy that you did it again. Yeah, exactly. We're so glad you did. Senator, thank you very much. Always welcome here. Thanks for coming on today. Yes, sir. Thank you for having me, Dom. All right. Senator Dave McCormick here on Talk Radio 1210 now. We got something new today. I'll give you this side question coming up. I asked Henry yesterday on the way home a Friday 5. I was thinking 1245 we might try it. I will. Either one of us will pick out five, say the five greatest basketball players ever. Today, five greatest films ever. He doesn't know my list. I don't know his. And we're going to see if even one makes it on the both list. I had a lot of maniacs on Twitter putting up what they thought my list was. And some woman giving me, well, what about the Bruce Springsteen documentary? Can you imagine in the history of filmed him?

A Springsteen film. I don't think so. The top 100 documentaries. Yeah, exactly. Right. Of all, yeah, of the last five minutes. Right. Exactly. So we'll have that for you at 1245 today. And I think you'll like it. We'll get a lot of people commenting on it. The Kristi Noem thing is important. And I agree with Jacques Lemaire on the Morning Joe show. who made mention of the fact, this is cut 18. Now, when do I agree with this guy? Yes, the $220 million she spent to be riding a horse and all that, the Lewandowski mess, yes. But I think Trump was looking for quite a while to regain the signature issue of illegal immigration and doing something about it. And she and Bovino cost that. in Minnesota, which was rough country by their wild actions, were kind of coming back to 50-50 on that. Well, the election of 2024, that was one, two, or three biggest issues. Here's what he said, and a lot of this is true, one of the reasons Kristi Noem finally had to go. So there were many straws. And as you reported back at the end of the year, the president was thinking about, replacing her and a couple of other officials anyway, but he wanted to wait for the new year. Then Minneapolis happened. Then the two killings happened. Then you had just one bit of bad news after another. And then apparently you think this may have been, from your reporting, the straw that broke Christian Hems' Horses back, that she blamed the president for this $220 million. political ad campaign for her. It looked like a political ad campaign for her. Yeah, she said the president approved it. That is not the case. The White House has denied it. And in fact, Senator Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who we just saw in that clip talking to the secretary about it, later revealed after the news came out that Secretary Kristi Noem was being fired, he told reporters that he actually heard from President Trump that night. He got a call from the president that night. And Trump was furious saying, no, I had nothing to do with this. She. Now, she was already on thin ice. There was some momentum in the administration to make some changes as the administration hits its second term. It was a real point of pride to not have much turnover in the first year. Unlike the first term, we've talked about the no-scalps policy that Trump put into place. But this got too much. He was furious about the ad campaign, furious at the suggestion that he signed off on that amount of money. But it wasn't just this. It, of course, was the killings of the two American cities in Minneapolis. It was known being the face of that and also lying about the circumstances. And she was pressed during the hearings this week about her characterization that these were domestic terrorists. who were gunned down when certainly they were not. Their questions surrounding her relationship with Corey Lewandowski, her top aide, Willie, and also just that there are...

There are the polls, and the president can see them. Immigration was his signature issue and a real strength when he took office. Now he is badly underwater on this. And, you know, in his estimation, those around him, Kristi Noem and her tactics are to blame, and she is now the first to go. All right, so I agree with part of that at least. And you're going to see, I think we already are, that issue coming back. I'm looking at a Franklin Marshall poll here, and I'll give you that coming up. And they are liberal here in Pennsylvania about ICE. And this is right here in Pennsylvania. And one of the things in there is complain about what they call the overall tactics. All right. And Kristi Noem was abysmal in this. You know, when Holman went in there, we're still going after the bad guys, but there was not all this collateral stuff. All right, 855, 839, 12, 10, you get a line. Coming up, I'll give you the side question, 1245. I have not seen Henry's list. He hasn't seen mine. I've written in my own handwriting, so he wouldn't be able to know it if he, I put it right under his nose what the hell it was. All right. And we have the great Dr. Victoria Coats coming up at 1.30. Nobody better. to break down all these arguments about Israel's war and all that stuff. You just heard two really plugged in, though, Perry and McCormick on what's happening around this. I'll also play you look. The best endorsement that Markwayne Mullin got was from that union guy that he wanted to duke it out with. That guy says, this guy, I love him, he'll stand up for America. We got to get the union guy and I was going to fight with him there in front of Bernie Sanders. Apparently, Mullen is an undefeated MMA fighter. I don't know at what level. And Dana White just announced he has his match set up for the card at the White House of UFC. So this guy is undefeated in that. Is his temperament good to run this organization, which has a lot of employees and a lot of stuff? We'll see. But phone lines, 855, 839, 1210. The recap show is an inside look for fans into the world of global soccer, women's sports, and all things, gal culture. From the inside perspective of two World Cup champions and Olympians, follow and listen to the recap show wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Cheardano on Talk Radio 1210. WPA. All right, this is Dom, 855, 839, 12, 10. Today's side question, get your name into the hat. We have a great prize at the end of the week, which is today, let's see, $50 gift card to Burger King. Okay, that certainly goes a long way. Okay. So with Kristine Hone being replaced, we're looking for that all-time successor or replacement, real or fictional.

Good or bad. You got the good or bad thing going here. So here's a replacement that's good. Lou Garrick coming in for Waui Pipp. I don't know whoever replaced Lou Gehrig. That had to be like, oh, man, we're going downhill. I don't know what you do. Yeah. King Philip of Macedonia was a power, but then he was replaced by the son. Alexander the Great. That's pretty hard. You know, imagine if I, hey, I conquered a tenth of the world. Yeah, well, I conquered all of it. And a good one, James Buchanan, arguably one of the worst, he's down there with Joe Biden, replaced by Abraham Lincoln. Oh. That's a pretty good replacement. The bar was on the floor and then Lincoln was like, I'm going to put it up here. Yeah, exactly. Lincoln, hey, I got, you know, it's always good. If you're following a Buchanan. If you're following Joe Biden, let's face it, that's pretty good. All right, Henry, how about yours? Yeah, let me take this one before the Greeks get to it. How about Socrates's successor, Plato? He was the primary disciple and successor to Socrates, and he took his teachers, oral and critical methods, and it was like, let me put these down on paper. Okay, so you think he's superior, Plato? I think he had a better idea of what's going to transcend through time if you put the ideas on paper and have them pass down generation through generation. So in that regard, yeah, I do think he is the superior in that. Yeah, when we go to philosophers, who do we think of? I'm not sure which one. Not Aristotle and he was the giant of all. Well, he was first, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I think we think of Socrates, but Plato is, yeah, the guy who gets more credit. Yeah, he's the third one, yeah. Exactly. Another one I'm going to take off the board is... Eagles offensive coordinators under Nick Siriani. So when Nick Siriani was hired, he was the one calling the plays on offense. It wasn't going well. So who succeeded him? It was Shane Steichen. Shane Steichen obviously took us to the Super Bowl where he lost to the chiefs. Right. He then got the job as the Indianapolis Colts head coach. And then he was succeeded by Brian Johnson, who. And then after we let Brian Johnson go, we brought in Kellyn Moore, who obviously took us to a Super Bowl championship versus those same chiefs. He got the job as the New Orleans Saints head coach and was replaced by Kevin Petulow, which we know how that went. And yeah, so it keeps going along this way, Sean Mannion, all right, Super Bowl. Super Bowl expectations this year. That is a great chain right there. How can you go from the very best, Steichen particularly, to the worst? Oh, yeah. It's hard to believe. Kirk, how about yours? So I'm going to go to SportsVout, too. Yeah. So I'm going to go, Patrick Mahomes, replacing Alex Smith in Kansas City, and I'm going to go with another Packers fan. I know I'm going to get the lie heat for this, but Brett Farr replaces Don Wanchowski, who then followed by Aaron Rogers. Aaron Rogers, superior to Brett Farr, I agree. Yeah, totally. Yeah, absolutely. Doesn't blow as many picks.

And many pictures either. Exactly. Yeah, that too. Yeah. Doesn't steal funds from the Mississippi, you know, welfare funds. Yeah. Oh, my God. All right. 855, 839, 12, 10. That's how you get in. Hit us with an all-time replacement, real or fictional successor, good or bad. You go whichever way you want. It's all in the call. Get your name into the hat. So coming up, I just had this in a way driving home. Friday 5. Next week might be the five greatest players in football history. Henry and I, he's up next week to come up with whatever he wants. And I'll go along with it. But today's, we talk about it a lot. You know, have you seen this film, that film? Five greatest films. And some of the stuff people put up on my Twitter predicting mine are a little bit crazy to put it mildly. I have one sentimental one in here. and a couple of old time, and then two that are gigantic. And I have them in order. Henry, yours are in order, right? You have your, correct. Yeah, number one of all time. I think there's going to be one. I'm willing to bet it's on both of our list. I'm not sure which one, but one. I don't know if any foreign films will be on Henry's. Farm film, wait for the subtitles on YouTube. I'm not giving anything away. All right. And 855, 839, 12, 10, that'll get you in. Just one other quick thought. I mentioned this with Christine Ome and the immigration issue. So there's Franklin Marshall Poll. 94% of registered voters in Pennsylvania say they are closely following the administration's immigration and deportation activities. 55% oppose rather than support 45%, what they call the methods that ICE is currently using to enforce. Large majorities do not believe ICE officers should be able to use deadly force, 76%. Narrow majorities do not believe they should be able to wear masks, 57%, or use unmarked vehicles, 53%. So... It's not just Kristi Noem. This was always going to be messy. But Kristi Noem and Bovino in Minnesota have really taken the signature issue and put it underwater for President Trump. Can Markwayne Mullin restore that? A little bit later on, I'm going to play you what Mullen said about the killing of Ashley Babbitt. He was on the side of the officer on January 6th. Mullen's an interesting guy. He doesn't wear a seatbelt because he doesn't want to be carjacked when he's in Washington, D.C. This guy, he wanted to fight right there in front of Bernie Sanders. He's going to be an interesting choice. I think he's got a lot of energy, a lot of ideas, a lot of force. Will this turn this around a bit? All right. So coming up Friday 5, your calls, get in now, 855, 839, 1210. Let's talk first, though.

Friday 5, the first time we're doing is, Henry, would you like to go first? Sure. Are we starting with five? Yeah. Oh, yeah, five. All right. What, did you have 50? No, no. I'm just making sure we're not starting with one and working the other way back. Start five and go to one. Oh, I mean. Oh, you know what? There's more drama that way. Yeah. You want to start that way. How about if you give one, I give one? I think this will be interesting to see. So we're just giving our fifth best here? Fifth best. So I don't know about you, but on the criteria of like greatest movies of all time, I, I, I. think there has to be some sort of cultural relevance. Okay. In these movies today, especially when you pick an older one. So the first one I'm going to take off, number five on my list is going to be the 1976 movie Network. I think in the... It's a good one. Yeah, I think in the era we live in today with a lot of sensationalist TV, media manipulation, corporate greed. I do think that it does hit home, you know, 50 years later now. uh on just a lot of the themes it hits wow it's hard to believe it's 50 yeah and i mean you're talking about stunning performances i mean what you mccall got best supporting actress for only having what 90 seconds of screen time in the who is that oh i got the i have to look it up real quick uh female the female yeah yeah uh she was the the wife of uh one of the uh

The actor, shoot, oh my gosh, I can't believe I didn't have this. Yeah, I know who you, I think I know who you mean. Okay, let me give you my fifth way you're looking at up. This was a sentimental choice, but to me, you can't go wrong. And it does still have value today, cultural value. The theme, you don't know happiness until you go to the depths. It's a wonderful life. It's sentimental. I know it's not as breakthrough as network and he didn't do well at the box office in the beginning. I'm not sure why it ultimately did. Okay. People, people always point so that it came out like after the depression and people are like, I don't want to see this crap right now. Exactly. I don't care. Yeah, exactly. So, no, the actress I'm talking about was Beatrice Strait. She played, she was just in the movie for five minutes and two seconds, one best supporting actress at the Oscars that year. Her role was Louise Schumacher. uh the when she has when she has the you know she finds out her husband's cheating oh yeah yeah right comes home and just lays into yeah what do i want yes yeah yeah i don't want your sentiment i mean yeah all the performances in that movie i think just elevated to it just an incredible fade down away hard to believe she's involved in immediately shall be saying saying oh that's right the numbers are very good okay four Four, I'm going to take a more recent movie off, and if you've known me, you know, I've spoken highly about this movie time and time again, and that would be Denis Villeneuve's Dune, Part 2. Oh, now, where's the cultural value in this one? Oh, my gosh. I think this is this generation Star Wars. Oh, absolutely. Well, considering the Star Wars movies from, you know, 10 years ago, fell flat on their face. Yeah, I do think the rise of Paul Atradis going from, you know, going back to the first movie even, you know, from just a humble, not humble, a prince of sorts from a distant planet, having to move to the planet where all the spice is produced on Iraqis and then having a hostile takeover of that planet. And then learning was all set up by the, you know, imperial emperor to, you know, overthrow the Atreides Empire anyway. And for him to... go live amongst the sand people and the fremen, and then rise up, become their Jesus figure of sorts, their Messiah figure, and overtake the imperial forces. I think it doesn't get much better than that. Plus, the way the movie shot, again, is just stunning cinematography. All right. I had a choice old-fashioned because we talked about it this week. It was on my mind. It was either 12 Angry Men. which is the seminal, every actor in there did 100 films that we've been out. But I went with on the waterfront. We were talking the other day about grand stories and all that. That captures a lot of America. So far, we are a million miles apart. See as we get to the top. What's your third? Well, let me say this first before I give number three. Once you overcome the one inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films. A foreign film is third. Okay. I'm taking, yeah, the 2019 film Parasite by Bong Joon Ho.

cleaned up the awards that year. It was that movie of the year. If you've ever seen that movie, or if you haven't seen that movie, I highly suggest it. I mean, you think it's going one way and then it kind of flips on its head. Like, you think so the premise of the movie is basically like a very struggling family, very poor family in South Korea, you know, struggles to get money in any which way they can. One of the sons is offered a role as a tutor for a very rich family. He... excels as a tutor in the family and then decides, you know what? I think I could get my sister a job as a tutor for the other kid. So pretending to be someone else, the sister comes in. You know, fakes a fancy degree, gets the job as a tutor. And then when they both get in, they decide, you know what? Let's get mom and dad jobs here, too. Let's get mom a job as a houseman. Let's get dad a job as a driver, all pretending to not know each other. So they're essentially sucking the life out of this family as parasites until, wait a minute. everything is flipped on its head and you find out there's more than one parasite living in this house living in this rich family's house so i don't want to spoil it any more than that if you haven't seen it but man what a movie all right is going deep i mean really my third is godfather the grand sweep of it the whole thing you know some think it's a greatest film ever made it's a little bit over the top i'll save where i'm going next How about second place all time? Yeah, second place all time. I'm taking a superhero movie. And I do hold this superhero movie in high regard. I might have seen this movie. A superhero movie too. I think I might have seen this movie more than any other movie I've ever watched. And now it would have to be the dark night. Well. All right, that's not a super. That's a really good movie. Oh, well, is this Batman not a superhero at this point? No, no. When I say, yeah, when I say superhero, I demean it. I got it. And you know, it's on my side, the great movie director. Christopher Nolan? No, not Christopher Nolan. A Scorsese. Oh, yeah. I'm sick and tired of these blankety, blankie. Well, the Marvel movies, yeah. That stick gets old after a while. But, man, the dark night, it's gritty. It's beautifully shot. I mean, the performances in that. I mean, Heath Ledger's, Joker's, final performance on screen, winning the posthumist Oscar. I mean, that Joker is still imitated day after day. Like, people are talking about, like, who is the Joker? Is it Jack Nicholson? No, it's Heath Ledger. Like, when you think about the Joker, it doesn't get much better than that. And just the star power in the movie between Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Michael Cain, Morgan Freeman, Killian Murphy for a hot second. Yeah, it's... I could see Top 20. It's a good fellas to me. Uh-oh, that's a fighting mess. My second place is Casablanca.

And this is, yeah, this is a film that even though old and all it captures, Humphrey Bogart, you see why he was so renowned. Ingrid Bergman takes it down a notch from me, but second place. Haven't seen that one either. We are nowhere near each other. I didn't come anywhere near Dune. Do you think on the last one we can agree, Kirk? What are the odds here on Friday? The chances of the agreement is like slimmed one. I'm holding out hope. Henry, you're number one. Oh, boy. Oh, oh. We're bridging the gap a little bit here. I have the Godfather as the all-time greatest movie. I think Michael Corleone's rise as, you know, a decorated soldier who's come home for a wedding. You know, I don't want any part of the family business. Leave this out of, leave me out of this, eventually getting caught up in it. having to go away because of his involvement, the trials and tribulations, he has to go through while he's away in Italy coming back, and then his ultimate transformation into becoming said Godfather with, you know, the door closing on Kay at the end. It doesn't get much better than that. And I do think it's set up the way a lot of movies are told today. I would agree with that, except for one thing. Luke all over the years and how I miss him and renown our movie guy, it's Godfather too. Has everything God, doesn't have the grand sweep of God, but that's the whole point. Yeah. Of the Seamy side, if you will, and the history of this. I go Godfather too. We're close. We're very close. Yeah. But on Dune and the foreign film here. That's why I'm like, there's no way. Tom, you watch so far opposite. You watch Dune, both Dunes right now. And then you watch Parasite. I'll watch Casablanca on the waterfront. Waterfront. Okay. And then we'll see. Oh, man. This is that. Parasite. I could watch. Dune is a little bit of a challenge, I think. Oh, yeah. Yeah. When Henry first started working here, Kirk, I think, well, with me, he was all doomed up. He was seeing Dune 2 that weekend. I remember, and I was like, whoa, wait a minute. Oh, because I had read the book. Oh, I know. Yeah, exactly. Oh, my gosh. Fantastic. All right. You can weigh in on those. And if you have a Friday topic we could do, Henry picks next week. I don't get, just five of anything. If it was a pro football, five best players ever, I have them already. And I feel even stronger about basketball that Kobe Bryant is better than LeBron James. Oh, wow. Charles Barkley backs me up. I may have them on next week if I need to. No, just kidding. Wow.

All right. All right. So those are the five films. There was a different range there. I'll say he's got a great range. Oh, that's a great range. I knew there'd be a foreign film in there. Notice how he said just a one inch. Yeah, right. He's got good taste. He's got a famous quote. So, Kirk, you're voting for that as a better film list, huh? I would, you know what, as far as superhero movies, I would say the top one in my book were superhero movies, Superman, the original, 1978, 79. Yeah, well, Dark Night, particularly Batman taken for one for the team. Yeah, the first Batman was a little cartoonish. I had to agree with Henry, though, the Dark Night was a good movie. And the switch up, too, in the Dark Night where you think he's going to go for Rachel, and it's nope, goes for Harvey Dent. Yeah. Right. Well, it's also the whole thing that came up then. It was like dealing with terrorism. What does the Joker want? He can't tell you what he wants. He just wants to continue this sort of thing. Some men just want to watch the world better. Yeah. When he sets the money on fire with the Russians. Yeah. Oh, my God. Or when he breaks up the pull sticks. Yeah, Tim Burton. Yeah. Only one spot. One spot open. Yeah. Tim Burton's on the first one was so cartoonish. And that's how he wanted it. And I think I agree with Henry. That was a really good move. Dark House Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. All right. You can comment on that. We're coming to your calls to. Hit us on the side question. Victoria Coates here. At 1.30 today, we'll break down where we are in this war. I know both guests didn't want to call it. It's a war. Come on. Come on. We agree. I get why with Congress you don't want to say war. 855-839-1210. Tom Jierdano, weekdays, noon till 3. From Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Tom Jirdano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, top show, 855, 839, 1210, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless. All you have to do is push pound 1210. I don't know why President Trump has lengthy conversations with people like Jonathan Carl or Dana Bash, but he does. And he told Carl, and I'm quoting here, about Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson has lost his way. I knew that a long time ago, and he's not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America First. Tucker Carlson is none of those things. And Tucker Carlson is really not smart enough to understand that. All right? Tucker Carlson replied, President Trump, I still love you. I'm serious. So interesting, this breakdown that's going on around the war and the president continuing to say seeks unconditional surrender from Iran. You know, too early to predict, but this is militarily, unbelievably going well, tells you how difficult Iran would have been if they got a nuclear weapon to try to attack again because of what damage that they could do.

and why this was necessary, but what's the outcome? Can you put in a government that is just not going to race toward getting a nuclear weapon? I'm not sure about that. It's a point of pride and it's religious fanaticism that you're dealing with in Iran. I'm not sure how this country... I'm going to ask Dr. Coates to get you an answer and get me in it. I'm marking it down right now at 1.30. How is it that this country... is much more modernistic, educated, the women, particularly, that kind of thing. And yet, the religious fanaticism is world class. How did those two things happen to this degree upon one country? And somebody said it during the course of this. This should be Dubai. It has all the natural mineral wealth in the world. Yet it's religiosity and what religion is it. Well, you take a look at that is what holds it back. Why? How did that end up in this manner? All right. Boy, we haven't heard from him in quite a while. Bill and C. Kane first off today on Talk Radio 1210. Hello, Bill. Tom, how are you? I'm very busy here in the kitchen. The household staff has the weekend off. Hey, by the way, Bill, if you have a chance to that point, I've always, as you know, despise Yoko Ono for a lot of, and John Lennon. Up on Twitter today, and I put it up on mind, and it's all over the place, is a picture when they went on strike and they were going to stay in their bed sleeping. The two of them stand up, so the maid. can make the bed over again so that they can go back and lie in bed in protest. My gosh. My God. They certainly made a big sacrifice, didn't I? Oh, my. Well, being involved, can imagine the other Beatles were the biggest thing in history. I think one of them said bigger than Jesus. And then Yoko Ono comes along. My God. Yeah. I mean, it's not even good to go with business with somebody who's married because you're in business with the whole damn family. My worst ever replacement. was the second Darren on Be Witch. Yeah. That's a really good one. He nailed that one. And I'll tell you how that comes to mind. I was sick a couple of weeks ago. Like for four days, I'd never been that sick in Harley in my life, and I didn't leave the house. And I put on Hulu, and I watched all eight seasons of Bewitched. Oh, my God. Wow. What a bitch. It just wasn't the same with the new Darren. Thank you, Bill. It's great to catch up with. Don't be a stranger. Well, I want to take it easy. Thanks, Bill, very much. Your talk radio 12 then. All right, so the second Darren, yeah, often these things, you get used to one, they're hard to take. You can't just disrupt, kill the other one off. You know, how often does it happen? They got a new gig. Well, I got one.

I don't like him anyhow. They've been blanking on his name now because I don't like him. Replacing Steve Correll. What's his face? Saturday Night Live. Billy Bob Joe. The actor that replaced him as the boss for a while, then I think they got him in the office? Yeah, in the office, yeah. Who did the, Will Ferrell? But then he got killed off. Will Ferrell. No, it was Steve Carroll's character, the manager. Right, no, I understand. And then Will Ferrell's character took over for a hot minute and then he died. It was just... Man, I haven't watched The Office in a minute. Just a horror. He was with Jennifer Aniston. I know the name of him. Oh, James Spader? No, no, no, no. It was, it was, it was, it was, it was going downhill. And when they put him in, oh my God, the death knell of it, it was awkward watching him. You couldn't believe you could have that type of falloff. He didn't get the character at all. It was too offensive. Michael would say something that was awkward and not good, but. You know, it wasn't, this guy was like killing puppies type of stuff. Well, that's why they killed him in the show. Yeah, exactly. They should have. They should have killed him the moment he was in there. Yeah. All right. So that's what we're looking for. An all-time bad or good successor is where we are. It was Ed Helms. Well, that was, I was late. Oh, yeah, there were so many managers here. Yeah, yeah, Daniel Vickers to Robert California. Yeah. Robert California was another bad, you know, over the top. It wasn't as bad as Will Farrell. Will Farrell. Can you imagine them there? What do we do to get Carl, Steve Carroll back? And you just, you can't do it. You cannot deliver that. Okay. 855, 839, 12, 10, though, you get on board. Now, here is Markwayne Mullin. who I like a lot, the seven wildest things about him on a junket to the Middle East along with other senators and their spouses, he closed the nostrils of the spouse and a senator apparently. He went up and just, you know, as they were sleeping, put their note, his finger in their nose or something. Like, what the heck? Here he is talking about Ashley Babbitt on January 6th, and people are bringing this up today, and it's going to be brought up. I think he's a good choice in this role. But here's his take on what happened on January 6, cut 17. I guarantee you, I don't know for a fact, but I guarantee you he's never had to pull his weapon in a manner like that before. He was the last person in the world that ever wanted to use force like that. And he wasn't wanting to do that. I know for a fact because after it happened, he came over and he was physically.

and emotionally distraught, and I actually gave him a hug. And I said, sir, you did what you had to do. And I mean that. Unfortunately, the young lady, her family's life has changed, and it was an unfortunate situation that she lost her life and some people lost their loved ones. But the lieutenant's life has also changed too, because if it's the first time you've ever had to use lethal force, that doesn't ever leave you. And it wasn't his choice. He didn't show up to work that day to have to do that. He was doing his job, and he got put in a situation where he had to do his job because there was members still in the balcony. And if you're going to present your weapon in a manner and give commands and they still don't listen and they still approach, you don't have a choice because either you have to at that point discharge your weapon in a manner of self-defense or that weapon's going to be taken away from you. It's going to be used on you and it's going to put all of our lives in danger to. All right. So that's Markwayne Mullin Mowen, the new head of Homeland Security. His take on what it was like on January 6th, Ashley Babbitt is what he's talking about. So as I said, this guy is interesting because you get with him, he's conservative and he's pro-Trump, but you get any number of things that are out of the mold and more will come up. By the way, the media still don't get it, making much of the fact that Markwayne Mullin is the only current, and this has been for a while, the only current senator who does not have a college degree or I believe attended college. And they are using that as a knock on him where, if anything, it might be more appealing. 61% of Americans still do not have a college degree. So, you know, when this issue comes up, media ought to tread lightly here. Apparently, he took over his father's plumbing business and built it into a multi, multi, multi, multi million dollar enterprise. And then ran for office in Oklahoma. He's also an undefeated mixed martial arts guy. I don't know if he was at the level of UFC, the stuff that we're seeing play out. But. Interesting choice here. The only thing I say is he's temperamentally, there might be a little problem here with running this organization, which is vast. You got FEMA. Of course, you have protection of the country. Of course, you have ice. You have all those things at play. I think the big issue here, does he work well with Tom Homan? I hope he does. Because the immigration issue still. is a winner. That's what people voted on in 2024. The problem is how it's been executed in Minnesota, which was very difficult. You can't say Kristine Hone was good in Bovino. When Tom Homan got in there, things were much better. All right, so phone lines are 855, 839, 12, 10. Look, when they're good, I'm going to tell you, when they're not, the jobs report today is not good of, you know, the first Friday of the month. down around 92,000 from projections. I don't know what E.J. and Tony thinks about it, but we'll find out and do course. Not good at this point. And again, we talked to Dave McCormick. We talked to Scott Perry, a Democrats trying to use the affordability argument. That's what they're going to use on everything. We have that ready to roll, right, Henry? YouTube.

The San Francisco mayor. All right. So YouTube.com slash 1210 WPHT. I see this. Well, in San Francisco, maybe they're cheering the guy. The mayor of San Francisco, along with his security team, were in the tenderloin. Now, I've been to San Francisco. It's a long time ago. But the tenderloin, even back then, was not good. When you hear the term the tenderloin, remember you've been to San Fran? Never. Okay, this is a bad part of town, downtown. Now, it's apparently brutal. Needles, the poop patrol, the whole thing. And this guy who looks to be just a ragamuffin is able to flip over this big security guy. And the mayor, rather than picking up whatever he can and clocking this guy with it, runs away. YouTube.com slash 1210 WPHT. I don't know if there's any sound in this. There you go. It seems to me some other guy who looks homeless sort of comes to the aid of the security guard that's knocked down. How do you, if you're the mayor, run away from this? You know, I think his argument is, well, he was going to go and get help. I mean, I think this guy got thrown down on the back of his head, his security official. And I was, Henry, you watch it, right? I was surprised. It looked like the homeless guy would be able to do that to this guy. I just, it was remarkable. This homeless guy definitely got the leverage on him. Yeah, he did, yeah. But, so what do you think of the mayor running away? That's tough look. It's definitely a tough look. I understand he can't really, as the mayor, you can't come in and start beating up on the citizens. Because that's the people you govern. They're going to oust you immediately. In San Francisco, you're going to beat up an unhoused person as they say. Let's say it's here in Philadelphia. I'm betting Philadelphia is not going downhill that much. If the mayor went in there and took this guy out, they would have a parade for him. No. You don't think so? No shot. Wow. That can't possibly be on my basis. The few and far between are the ones that, you know, boss everyone around politics and those are the ones that are, you know, they're going to come after you the hardest. And if, yeah, you can't go around beating up homeless people like that. Even if they're attacking your staff, people aren't just going to go for it. They don't care about the context. Uh, boy. I think the general public would understand, sure. Right. But the people who protest the loudest and scream the loudest. Oh, yeah. Well, that's insane. I mean a general appeal. The general, would you come out ahead if in Philadelphia if you did that. No. I think you would. Nuh. Yeah, San Francisco, I kind of agree with you. God knows what they think. So the mayor, I guess, is supposed to be a wimp. I could see Monde. Imagine you're the security guy for Zohran Mamdani and you say, man. We got no shot here. If we get knocked down, this guy's not coming to our aid. And the mayor just walks off into the night here, kind of. Yeah, he's got a reservation or something. Yeah, his security guy could have been killed right there. This homeless guy, however he did it, he did get to leverage on him. It's a big security guy. And he's baldheaded. You can see the head hit the ground the way he went down. This was wrestling.

All right. Yeah, it's just security guy. He's going up towards the neck and the homeless guy's got him at the midsection. It's like, dude, do you not understand? Leverage? Not play football a little bit? But he only had one security guy. Well, where were the other people to jump in with this guy? Probably holding his coat or something. Yeah, my whole thing is too. Yeah, he makes a good point. You know, people are just standing there watching this go down. I mean, someone should just jump in and like, you know, stop this, you know, before it gets out of control. I think in that, whatever you have to hit him with, you hit him with. Exactly. I mean, I don't care what it is. You know, you cannot allow your guy who's putting his life on the line for you to be at the mercy of this maniac. Yep. Wow. I mean, I think he could be shot at that point, let alone just taken down. You're not going to do this type of nonsense. So if the mayor with the security team can't walk the tenderloin in San Francisco, what does that tell you? I think Mikie Sherrill Parker would try to jump on this guy. I give her credit. 855-839-12-10. Coming to your calls next, Victoria Coates will be here at 1.30. Dr. Coates wrote the book on Israel and the United States cooperation.

Yeah, the mayor of San Francisco. Maybe it fits. What would Gavin Newsom do in that spot? Here is Katie Corrick popping up and asking Gavin Newsom the question that is just remarkable when it comes to gushing. Listen closely to what she asked Gavin Newsom. Is this kind of a disadvantage to you running for president? Cut 19. Do you have a Zoolander problem? No, I did. Jesus. Yes, Zoolander. Are you just ridiculously good-looking as folks at? No, seriously, what do you do about that? You don't do anything about it because if you're going to do something about it, then you're bullshit people. You know what? I am who I am. It's fine. You don't have to like me. Or maybe you like a slick person. I don't know. Whatever. It's okay. So in other words, are you too good-looking? Are you too slick looking?

I would say Gavin Newsom is one of the most noticeably attractive people. You can see it in the room, in the spin room, you know, all these people around him. And I couldn't see a flaw there at all. You know, he's got it. Yeah, without a doubt. But you think he should hit the, uh, the blue steel pose more than? You mean the how he crosses his legs? No, no. So I'm taking a never seen Zool-A. I haven't seen Zool-A. I know the, yeah, a little bit. Yeah, I haven't seen him. That's his pose and still. Well, should he do something to make himself less attractive? My God. People want an attractive president. Oh, totally. A tall president, too, usually. I mean, I feel for, that's why Ron DeSantis. By the way. There you go. Today, the hot thing out there, Pam Bondi might be next to be replaced. And the person, a lot of people back, and I do too, would be Ron DeSantis. Ron DeSantis would be a heck of an attorney general. Now, you know, you're back and forth with Trump, but so what? So did Marco Rubio. And I still think Ron DeSantis. is a guy you want making big decisions, gets things done. Now, I don't think President Trump will do it since Christine O'm gone now with Pam Bondi anytime soon, but it could happen here. So is it, if you're too handsome, oh, it's the hair, too. I admire the hair, you know, he's. That makes you look too slick if you slick your hair the way he does. I think it looks good. I've seen it up. It's got to have some height to it. If it's straight, slicked back, it's like, all right, this guy's greasy. He's got a lot of height. He's got a lot of height to it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he does. He looks commanding. Yeah. Now, inside that, I don't see it based upon some of the stuff he does, but he stands next to Josh Shapiro. And Henry Rowe just goes nuts against me on this. Height matters. Totally. Rand Paul, when he was running, looked small standing there. Scott Walker, who I love, and I had him in studio, and he knows what he's doing and everything else. The hair and everything else about him looked weird. And in the beginning, they put in between Jeb and President Trump. But he just, he was out within a couple weeks. It's, you know, Governor Christie's never going to be president for obvious, you know, come on. It just doesn't work any. You can't be Howard Taft and get stuck in a bathtub. It won't work. So you don't have to be six three. Biden was close to six feet. Bush projected a lot better. I stood next to him. I don't know if he was six feet, but he projected bigger. Obama's tall, very, you know, and Trump. And, um, Clinton even, they're about 6-2 to 6.3. It's a perfect height for a president. I don't think you're going to see, you know, Ron DeSantis wearing cowboy boots is tough. No. Yeah, it's a very tough thing. All right, David and Lexington. We haven't heard from him in quite a while. Hey, David. Welcome to Talk Radio 12. Ted. Hey, Don, happy afternoon. Good afternoon. Happy New Year. Thank you. There you go. Nicely played.

You know, one thing I would love to replace is my weather with y'all. It's 85 freaking hot degrees right now. Oh, wait a minute. Stop it. You got to stop it here. The last big snow thing in front of my house was gone this morning. I'm hoping it's 90 tomorrow. You got to stop it. I'll trade y'all in a heartbeat. I swear I would. Oh, yeah. Come on. It's cloudy and cloudier for the last four days in South Carolina. Can you met? That's like Gavin Newsom. Oh, you don't know what it's like to be handsome. This guy in South Carolina. Come on. Well, I'll tell you, this is a replacement that a lot of people are kind of divided on this. Yep. And I'm in the camp. I'm in the camp of bad, unless you guys are for it, then I'm for it because I'm trying to win. But to me, Van Halen went down big time when it became Van Hagar. I would agree. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree 100%. He's a bit busy there. Do you agree? Yeah, I agree. Yeah. So all three in agreement. All right. Thank you, David. We'll put you down for that. The great Dr. Victoria Coats has been a while. Get her next. Wrote the definitive book about the partnership between Israel and the United States. And we'll talk with her about that and what happens next in the war, particularly when this part is over. How do we get a country that is going to be friendly in the sense of not plotting nuclear Armageddon? All that straight ahead at 855, 8391210. I want to tell you about a new podcast from Odyssey called Family Lore. It's about interesting family stories and the truth behind them. It's available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your shows. Radio 12. It's always a great show lined up, but I know we have the very best, big issues, big guests, Dr. Victoria Coates from the Heritage Foundation. Dr. Victoria is the vice president of the Catherine and Shelby Colm Davis Institute, former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump, and the author of a book who has ripped right from these headlines ongoing, the battle for the Jewish state, how Israel and America can win. Dr. Victoria, welcome back. Thanks for joining us. It's great to be with you, Dom. Yeah, I was just thinking I might have to write an updated version of the last chapter with Operation Epic Theory in it. Well, absolutely. And I'd love to be there if you got to interview Megyn Kelly and her views on all this. Dr. Coates, my goodness, they have lost their mind. So what do you make it? I know you're busy. We see on Fox and all over the place. What we have this, I think they're not really the biggest chunk of MAGA or anything like that, but they do reach a good bit of people. And Megyn Kelly's kind of mainstream making this argument again and again. American troops are dying for Israel, essentially. Right. And this makes no sense.

Dom, because what we're engaged in right now is our first joint operation with Israel. This has never happened before in history, where you have the planning and full execution of this kind of a mission done jointly. We've done this sort of thing on a much smaller scale with the UK and France in the post-World period. But this is new, and the power projection is extraordinary. I was talking to some sort of mid-level Japanese defense people last week. in Washington, and they asked me about 10 different times, how do we become the Pacific Israel? How, as they're doing their military buildup now in Japan, under their new prime minister, they want to make sure they're as lashed up with us as Israel is and that in the horrible event of a war with China, we could have this kind of coordination and that maybe this would deter Chairman Xi Jinping from going to, you know, after Taiwan, for example, because he doesn't want to tangle with the combined might of Japan. United States. So it's just bizarre that Megan would keep saying we're being dragged into a war for Israel. And when you ask them, when were we ever dragged into a war for Israel? They seem to think that somehow the 1992 Gulf War had to do with Israel. I mean, it just didn't. I mean, it's not true. And it's it's just a weird, weird way of excusing. What I think on their part is a really dangerous isolationism. You know, on the one hand, of course, all Americans and the president first and foremost are cautious about deploying our troops. Well, maybe not Lindsey Graham, but everybody else. And, you know, we, that's just and right. But if you say we are never, ever going to do anything abroad to protect the American people here at home, you know, that's a pretty untenable. position. So I think they're using this as a way to excuse themselves. Without a doubt. And Dr. Victoria, I don't know about you, but if I were in that position, and I've only interviewed Trump up close and personal once, it's got a nag at you day after day for 47 years what they've done, but also them getting a nuclear weapon. You're never sure. You never know. And Israel certainly after October 7th is not going to be hit with something like that. And it seems to me as insane as it would be to use a nuclear weapon. They might, if they get one, develop several of them. They might use it. And then we would be in a situation that's beyond untenable, even if they don't use it, just the threat of it. You can't wake up every day and wonder how close they are. No, and especially after the conversations Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff had their negotiators, as Special Envoy Steve Witkoff told Mark Levin that the Iranians essentially said, yes, we have enough highly enriched uranium for 11 nuclear bombs and we're not giving it back. okay, well, then we're going to have to come and get it because that's not something we can live with. And, you know, the president is old enough to remember when Iran was our great and good friend and how productive that relationship was. So I think this does not have to be. This is not inevitable. The Islamic Republic is not 100 feet high and they have just systemic, horrible economic problems.

that they can't fix and that it's going to be even harder to fix now. And so I think he saw an opportunity and he took it. And I don't think he's ever going to apologize for that. My window into the question I wanted to ask you to, before we get going forward to go back a little bit, a guy, it's a friend to Mead. Each week, Roe and I get something in Flowertown. We go to a farmer's market. And he fled from Iran. And he talks about, and I see it myself. the educated populace, particularly women, the modernization. It's not one of these countries that doesn't have that, and yet they have the most repressive, arguably, among, on earth of these Moa dictators. How does that dynamic happen? What is it that's happened here? Well, it really has to do with the dynamics in the late 70s in Iran. And I don't want to go into a history lesson, but there was a real bad situation with the Shah, with appearance that his armed forces were slaughtering the Iranian people. And meanwhile, the first Supreme leader, Khomeini, as... opposed to Khomeini, who's the one we just neutralized, but Khomeini was a very, very savvy player. And there's been some revelations that he was in correspondence with Jimmy Carter before the revolution telling President Carter, you don't support the Shaw because we're really good people. We will work with you. We believe in human rights, which was Jimmy Carter's main thing. And that Carter, that's one of the reasons Carter sat back and didn't take any action to support the Shah and preserve our... our ally and look what we got for 47 years. And they have imported after the 2009 Green Revolution an extremely sophisticated sort of system of oppression, if you will. It's what allows them to turn on and off the Internet. They call it their national information network. And that is how they control communications. They control the flow of information. And then they developed this sort of group of paramilitaries. They call them the best siege. These are the guys with guns and motorbikes. Who else in the country has guns? And that's really important. No second amendment for the Iranians. So these Besheesh people who are sort of halfway between the population and the government are used as a sort of casual security force. And that's how they manage to kill so many tens of thousands of people in July, or in January, rather, because if you've got 10 guys with guns, they can kill 1,000 people pretty quickly. Dr. Coates, it seems pretty limited that the people can overthrow this at some point. So is it the sense we have, and I know it's not like Venezuela, but that seems to be working. You have an authoritarian structure, but they're going to play ball with us. Is that the best outcome we can hope for?

It is an outcome, Dom. And I think there are a lot of other things we can do. If we were to have a kind of a Gorbachev from the 1980s moment here where the then leader of Russia, the Soviet Union, made some fairly serious concessions to Ronald Reagan in an effort to preserve himself a little bit longer. But all that did was sort of... in the seeds of the destruction of the Soviet Union. And so you could take someone like the former president, Hassan Rouhani, and force him into concessions that will eventually bring down this authoritarian structure. And I hope that's what is the plan for Venezuela going forward, that you get through this transition, you get the oil business going again, and then you figure out how you sort of gently remove. this authoritarian oppressive dictatorship. So I think that is a process for Iran. There's also the possibility that you could have armed groups coming in from the Kurdish areas in Iraq. The Americans could decide to provide low ground cover, so you could bring in helicopters and things to help secure the protesters from the besieged forces. But I don't think anybody's thinking about boots on American boots on the ground is a good idea here. Is that doable? We've had on a couple people today, and they seem to think it's early, Dom, the commanding control that the Iranians still have is because they had an enormous number of missile launchers, ballistic missiles, drones, and this will calm down. Is that your sense? It's too early to degrade all that. It's going to take a few more weeks? I think it'll take at least 10 days to two weeks to get after all of that stuff. But interestingly, El Al, the Israeli airline announced, I believe it's in about five days. They're going to start outbound flights out of Israel again. And so that shows you where they're calculating the stockpile of Iranian missiles are, that they think that by then we should have that menace pretty well taken care of. And we've seen, Admiral Cooper said yesterday, almost 90% drop in the ballistic missiles. that they were able to fire during the day on Saturday versus what they were able to fire yesterday and a slightly less dramatic but still significant drop in the number of drones that they have. So I think that is a very successful campaign that's going on and then we'll have to get after the launchers and then we have to get after the nuclear program. So there is a whole series of targets. There's a process here. Secretary Pete Hegseth told us yesterday we're actually ahead of schedule of where they thought they'd be, and they may accelerate further. Well, I do hope you add that chapter because it is certainly worthy, given all the controversy and all, your book should be front and center. It was way ahead of what we're seeing play out. Well, it was a joy to write. I wish I didn't have to write it 18 months ago, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to do it. And I'm very hopeful that we're going to have a brighter day in the Middle East going forward. Dr. Thank you. Thanks so much as always. Thank you, Dom. Talk soon. Dr. Victoria Coates here on Talk Radio 1210 from the Heritage Foundation. More hopeful.

around this as far as something that will be on the ground that will be, but what she just said. And I flew El Al when we went to Israel with listeners, and they're very subtle in their security techniques, but very, very effective. So I think she said they're flying out in five days. That gives a sense that they think the Iranians will be diminished quite a bit. Okay, coming to your calls. And in addition to that, Ah, we have a couple of really good ones today. At least one, anyhow. We'll save one up. progressive women gone wild we have the big fun so henry what would you like to do next week did you have a thought the friday five oh man i'm still reeling from last last last well it was spectacular i know it was a whirlwind yes i mean you went through a very persuasive here as a witness parasite exactly not that i was going to attack and we did end up with one sort of which was shocking yeah No, I'm going to have to see what kind of inspiration strikes me over the course of the next one. I can hardly wait until we get to the sports thing. I have to take to the mattresses for that. That's going to be a difficult one to win. I know that Kobe Bryant better than LeBron got him churning, so that's out there. I can call expert witnesses on this. All right. If need be, when it comes to the football thing, I am going to call Ray Dinninger as an expert witness for that segment. Oh, gosh. I'm working on it. Yeah. Because I think that Jim Brown is the second best of all time. So Ray Dinninger might say even the first. No, I don't think he might not. He's got to go with Brady. All right, 855-839-1210. That's how you get on board coming up, progressive women gone wild and your calls on Talk Radio 1210. Let's talk Dr. Bentz, though, first to get you set for all that. Dr. Benz, my dentist, 11 years, and more than any dentist I've been to in my lifetime. He doesn't offer just one solution. He's got all the accoutrements, all the pirate techniques, all the equipment we've talked about for years and the skill to use it. So that means you get more opportunity to have different options. And one of those options, too, is now they have not one, but two board certified prostodontas with Dr. Bence and his daughter, Dr. Emily Bens. That frees up more hours for your schedule. I have recently completed a dental implant my first with Dr. Bence, and the experience was very thorough and very, very effective, particularly posts when everything was done. Dr. Bence understands that every patient, every smile is unique. Your implant journey starts with a comprehensive diagnosis using advanced imaging and technology paired with years of hands-on experience. He takes the time to explain your options clearly and thoroughly to help you make the right decision.

It's all about getting the smile and the underlying great dental care that we all need. Get that initial appointment now. Call 610272-6949 to schedule that consultation.

Dom Girdano presents.

Progressive women. Your words are garbage and you're a bad person at this point. Gone wild. All right. We got two good candidates today. Only time for one. I got to go with the Welsh woman, Henry. She's before the national LBG, T, Q, plus ABC, XYZ. This is the woman with this just ghastly face that says the most vile things podcaster. And she's all dressed up, and so is the nodder, the woman that is her co-pilot, standing on stage in front of this group, which is all about positivity, inclusiveness, et cetera. And here's what Ms. Welsh, the interior designer podcaster, said to this, she got a national award. Here's what she said. And I want to say something with my full chest, never obey in advance. Donald Trump, free Palestine, and same trans kids. And I want to say... She says about 30 words and half of them you have to bleep. I mean, the usual type of stuff. We also have candidate two. This is cut five. Here is Joyce from Florida. She's a nurse who posted a video begging other countries, including China, to attack the United States because she wants him to remove President Trump and his administration. Hey, Joyce the Advocate here. Come on Canada. Come on, UK. Come on China. You know you want to do it. Come in and attack United States. You don't like our regime. We don't like it either. Help us. Please help the United States. Come in. Come in, help us. We'll figure it out. We don't like our regime either. Come on, help us. Okay. All right. So those are our contestants today. So that I don't forget this, particularly with Henry's expertise here. I think we're in agreement. At the White House today, and I don't think this is frivolous, most of these things, there's a big issue, a big constituency. This one borders on it. The president bringing in these esteemed people like Nikki Sabin to talk about college sports and how desperate this is and what should be done. I just want to say as we get this roundtable today, look, some of the stuff going on here is pretty wild, you know, versus what college sports used to be. But I'm so sick of guys like Sabin making millions. It's the same thing with the NFL. I don't care what these players do, what money they get, or how they go back and forth. This is America. If they want to transfer, they ought to be able to transfer. Yeah, I don't think that's the issue at all. What's the issue? The issue is the eligibility thing. It's these guys who are hanging around for five, six, seven years now. Much wrong with that? Well, they're...

Because it's for college. It's four-year college. Okay. You get your degree. You get the hell out. Like Carson Beck on Miami, the University of Miami's quarterback. What did he say before the national championship game where how are you balancing school and everything? He's like, I haven't been the class in two years. Because he's 24. He's 24. I hear that argument. Get a job. I would say the whole thing is fraudulent, the whole structure of college and big-time college sports. So. um so just give up to do it so just give up just every judge that says you know what here's here's an injunction you can play you're 27 years old you can play amongst 18 years old what's so harm what's so harm What? What's the harm? What's the grown men? There are college basketball players that have signed pro contracts. It hasn't worked out for them. So what are they doing? You know what? I think I'm going to try my luck back in college again. No, you made your choices. You made your decisions. You decided to go pro. You decided to sign a pro contract, get pro money. You can't come back and compete at the collegiate level. And this has come up before. And my response is the same thing. Maybe there ought to be two leagues where you don't have all this nonsense and the other league where you do whatever you want. How would that work? That would not work at all? Why not? How would it work? How would it work? They're taking the fun out of it. What? Is it going to be a Super League with all the major schools and then what? A dumpster league with all the mid- majors, low- majors? We had all the underground cheating and nonsense they did. Okay, don't do that. Or if you want to do whatever you want and then have it. I'm just saying it's... So let's make a steroids NFL, a steroids baseball league too. Do whatever you want. I think the NFL is a different thing with steroids. Henry, my point is, I think the whole thing is fraudulent, so I guess I'm too cynical about it. It sounds like to me you're just throwing your hands up and just out, let them do what they want. Is that what it's going to be about? Eligibility today, you think, not the other stuff. Okay, we'll see. Well, I mean, I do think, you know, the tampering within the transfer portal is an issue because you have teams right now in college basketball that have essentially given up playing because they're already looking at like, hey, I've got offered some this school, this school, this school, as soon as this season's over, I'm out of here. But isn't that freedom? Isn't that freedom to finally be able to do what you want in this? I know. I get that, but you at least have to wait until after the season over to start contacting these players. I think a bigger issue is the timing of the transfer portal because it coincides with the semesters in college. Right. And that doesn't overlap. correctly with these seasons of say football, basketball, baseball. I see all these guys getting together, though, with Sabin is what I'm fingering here, trying to get Trump to restrain kids who are finally free around the edges. I hear what you're saying. You're a better broker. These other guys, though, I don't see it. Yeah, well, I'm all for the money. I'm all for the transferring. It's just there has to be rules. It's just the Wild West out here. And what's Tiger Woods doing on this thing? I don't know. He shouldn't be on that. He shouldn't be on that at all. I mean, he's not the living expert on college sports. So is this something the president should be taking his time up with? Maybe. I get it. All right. We have more. We have more. This is big because people still, I guess, want to see colleges and the fun of that and the Kay Ivey League and all that stuff and the NCAA tournament.

I just say a pox on all of them, so I'm cynical on this. I'm not a good witness on this. I agree. No. Yeah, I'm not. I just have had it with their nonsense and I... Well, I've had it, you know, it was years and years of nonsense, like, just let the players play, let them transfer, let them get paid. But now it's like they've gone the completely other way where they're just like, oh, we're helpless. We can't help that there's grown men playing in our college sports. Well, grown men playing in football. Yeah, I see the edge there. Yeah. Basketball. You go play pro for two years. You get pro experience and then you come back and beating up kids. No. Get out of here. All right. Coming up, more of your calls. We got Dom's Money Melody coming up too. And daylight savings time. I have found something. People making the argument why we shouldn't have permanent daylight savings time, which I'm a fan of. President Trump won't touch it. He says it's too politically volatile. And it is. Wait until you hear the radio argument on why we shouldn't have permanent daylight savings time. I'm in favor of it. I can't wait to Sunday that extra hour of light at that time of day. I don't know why people would be on the other side. I know, Dom, what about the farmers? It's not the farmers. It's morning drive talk, morning drive is against permanent daylight savings time. Across the country and radio. 855, 839, 1210. That's how you get in. Tom Giudano, weekdays, noon till 3, from Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHBH. All right. So our clock change this weekend. The clock touching. There was a host in Philadelphia, Kent Foss, way back at WWDB. He was from Arizona. He had a connection to that who talked about. Stop clock touching. And President Trump is somebody you would think, but he sees the political implications of this. And there are a lot of people on the other side. I'm looking at this from the national radio broadcasters, and they say, don't destroy morning drive with permanent daylight saving time. Their argument is because of the ratcheting up of a lot of radio stations and downpowering over the day, you wouldn't reach full power then until 8 a.m. Thus, cutting into the real start of drive time 6 a.m. So we know about the farmers. We know about others. Why are we going to come to a realization, though, and I can bring you all the health issues and all with the changing, but just a common sense of permanent daylight saving time. You have these factions, so it's Hawaii because you're near the equator. and Arizona because of the heat, and if you've been in Arizona, it is not a dry, it's brutal at times. Those two stand out as being in favor of keeping the current system. I don't think Trump will, if he did, I think there's enough people that want to do this, but it would take presidential leadership, I think, to put it over the top, so we'll continue to go this way.

855, 839, 12, and particularly this winter. This has been not a good winter, to put it mildly. And we all know summertime and the living is easy, but we're not there yet. Springs just an afterthought. So would you want like 9 a.m. complete darkness, though? I don't know. There would be 9 a.m. Yeah, that's when the sun would start to rise. I thought it was 8. I would put up with that for the extra hour and the end of the day. Yes, the early, when it starts at like four o'clock, you see the doom coming. I would trade that off. I don't know. I have a hard enough time getting up as it is when it is dark out like that. Yeah. So like I'm big on the circadian rhythm and all that. Like I need the sunlight to get up. I mean, this would absolutely destroy me in the mornings. And yeah, well, I would like light at the end of the day. It's, you know what? Getting up is more important than going to sleep. Kirk, how about you? Same, because I'm here on weekends, and it's ungodly. I can't. I can't do it. It hurts too much. You don't see the advantages of just the permanency, though, of daylight savings time. Yeah, I can't. I can't do it. Okay. I'm surprised. This is popular on paper with the American people, but you see all these little groups like Henry's late riser group, the farmers, and morning drive radio. Oh, Nick's been... Cailing Company hasn't checked in yet, but morning drive wouldn't start to 8 o'clock, according to this. Well, Nick would love that. Yeah, well, that's right. See, there's an advantage, though. You wouldn't have to get up at ungodly hours. That's not the hardest shift to me. Well, for me, personally, when I was doing 90... Oh, yeah, for you. Right. When I was doing 9 to noon, I had to get up at 4. That was a weird time. When I was doing morning drive, I was getting up at 2, which is odd, I realized, but... I could do that better. And a nap, he's right in the afternoon help. You know, the 4 o'clock thing was difficult. So that's the thing. With the sun out, I can't go to sleep in the middle of the afternoon. Okay. I was doing mornings here. Right. I'd just be tired. What time were you doing morning drive? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. I've worked off. I've worked every shift here. Yeah. Well, of course, the overnight is horrible. I was started midnight to 5.30. And on Friday night, your body doesn't go to sleep. It thinks it's still supposed to be up. So it was kind of difficult. Yeah. All right. Two votes against it. You know, some people have said only the socialists are in favor of stopping this initiative that's going on across the country. I just don't understand why it gets so much hate. Exactly right. You're not wrong. Oh, no, it gets a little darker earlier in half the year. I never thought of the morning drive thing, though, being such a big, and radio, and radio, you know, has stopped them from taking AM radio out of new cars, et cetera. But this, they're big about this. Oh, no. We're back. into another era. It's liberal Paul. Did he identify as that, Kirk? What's that? I think this is liberal Paul. Oh, yeah. Yeah, liberal Paul and bucks. Yeah. This is like a time machine. We're going back in time. Hey, yeah, Paul. Welcome in. How you doing?

All right. And listen, Dom, I'm going to say it's the, it's Armageddon. I actually agree with you on something. Whoa. Touchdown. All right. Daylight saving time all year. Absolutely. Absolutely. What kind of, who could be against that? Well, you just heard two of them here that are against a Henry particularly. Right. Yeah, well, there you go. That tells you who you're getting your information from. Daylight saving fun. We all want it. The shots fired. Go ahead. telling you is that one thing I like about this is I feel like it's 2003 all over again. I feel young again because we're back to having the same conversation you and I had 23, 24 years ago when the last time we started a war in the Middle East. You notice we were the only ones starting wars in the Middle East. Two big one. Wait a minute. Paul, wait a minute. There's a huge difference here now. I know you don't like Trump in any way, shape, and all that stuff. But don't you have to give in that he is not going to put boots in the ground? He's not about Forever Wars. Whatever his motivation, whether you think it's his own self-interest or not, he's not Bush. He's not the institution. He's not going to do that. Why do you think he would? Well, you see, here's the problem. If you don't put boots on the ground, you don't get regime change. And if you don't get regime change, all you've done is left a bunch of angry Iranians in charge of their nuclear weapons. And you don't think these guys are thinking, geez, we better get an atomic bomb to stop this from happening again. So unless you're going to clean house. Wait a minute. Of course they are. But doesn't this at the worst, you don't believe this pushes it back for quite a number of years? We were told six months ago he had obliterated their program. Now, why are we back? Well, I think because through the knowledge in these negotiations, they told us exactly what they had and what they were going to do. And Paul, how do we know? I know there are differences with Venezuela. That seems to be going, okay. We have an authoritarian there. They're friendly. They're not going to be doing what they were doing. Why can't that happen here? It's Iran. You study your history. Study 2,000 years of history. These people are not going to just capitulate to what Donald Trump wants, and he can keep dropping bombs on them. They're just going to get more emboldened. I tell you what, Dom, they're not unlike Americans. If Iranians started dropping bombs on us, do you think we'd say, you know what, we better capitulate? No, that's not in your DNA. It's not in their DNA. I hear that. The bottom line, though, is how do we continue on with them worried every day that they're close to a nuclear weapon? How do we do that?

You know what, I like the old days when Israel had the Mossad and they could send in their little clandestine forces and attack and destroy and get the hell out. Right now, we're just like a Benjamin Netanyahu sledgehammer. Benjamin Netanyahu says, go jump and Trump says, how high, let's go just drop some bombs because that's a simple solution for simple people. The situation is way more complicated. And all the people can be sitting there cheering, watching the explosions, like it's a big football game. But all he's done is make us less safe for the next 20 years. All right. Thank you, Paul. A couple things on that. One, the instincts of Trump are not to get involved in the instincts of the Bushes or anything like that. Two, Israel is not going to continue to go forward after October 7th. and figure out every single day if they're close to the bomb. We all know if they get the bomb what the result is. And Trump is not going to continue to let 47 years go by of what they done and what they will continue to do. There's no easy solution here with Iran. This is not something that people are not taking seriously. You heard Dr. Coates of what can come out of this. That's going to be a better situation. That's what the gamble is, but it's a calculated gamble. It's not a wild gamble at all. All right, 855, 839, 12, 10, you get a line. By the way, spent a lot of time this week, and this guy is a piece of work. James Talarico. More coming out about the great Democrat hope in Texas. This guy, this Democrat, then just a representative in Texas, he wrote letter after letter to Joe Biden begging him to issue a further executive order that would have created abortion clinics in every federal courthouse and every national park in America. I offer this as Exhibit A. Now, how craze this guy is. But Exhibit B is Republicans are kidding themselves if they think his schick of the Bible is going to go away easily. And we're seeing this Paxon guy and Corrin thing caused trouble here. I'm on record. I don't think Paxon necessarily is going to beat Telerico. That is a tough gamble. He might. John Cornyn, I think, will beat him. And that's all that we need. We have to put up with the... I haven't made my piece with Brian Fitzpatrick, but with corn from afar, I get it. Can't lose Texas. It just comes down to that. Is the corollary, well, you got to put up with Brian Fitzpatrick. I'm not there yet. Check me out in October as we get close to the election. We figured out. Right now, though, it is time for... It's the money melody. All right, today we're playing for a big $50 gift card to the Metro Diner. Stop into the Metro Diner today and catch their seafood offerings, including the new limited time crab cake Benedict's.

fan favorite fish and chips or the flavorful terriaki salmon bowl. Henry, what's your pleasure today? Yeah, Dom, so we're talking about all-time successors for better or for worse. ACDC is famous for having a successor when Bond Scott passed away. Brian Johnson took over the reins as the front man in ACDC. So I'm going to play you back in black today. I want to know the cover artists covering back in black here. Some notes about this cover artist. She speaks three languages in addition to having three Grammys. And you may know some of her work from the 2010 World Cup as the World Cup approaches this summer. I thought it would be fun to throw it back to that song. Maybe I'll play that coming back after the next break. But yeah, this 2010 World Cup theme song star is covering today's Money Melody back in black. I want to know the name of this cover artist. Yeah, not my favorite cover, but she's usually a pretty good singer. Pretty distinctive. Oh, very distinctive voice too, yeah. Okay, 855-839, 1210. Be the winner, get the bell today, and $50 gift card to the Metro Diner. And more of your calls coming up, 855, 839, 1210. Tom to your Diodato on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. It's Dom. Money Melody. That is exactly right. Let's hear the clue. All right. Let's hear the clue. Let's try Joe in East Norriton. Joe, what's your answer today? Hi, Dom. Yeah, strictly, I guess. Shakira? Whoa. That is an excellent. Yes. Man, that doesn't sound. Shakira was tremendous in the Super Bowl. It doesn't quite sound like that at all to me. It sounds much different. Doing way too much here. That's what I think it is. Yeah, rifting in a different kind of way. That doesn't sound anything like it. All right. Joe's the winner, though. Nicely played $50 gift card to Metro Diner Ready to Go. 855839, 12, 10, you get a line. By the way, Scott Preser will be on a Monday all over this. And again, I'm not going to do what the other side does and riff from one instance of this. But the U.S. attorney, David Medcalf, is doing great job in this area. I think he has eight states. announced that Mahadi Sacco, age 50 of Philadelphia, was arrested in charge by criminal complaint with fraudulent voting in the 2024 federal election by an illegal alien. Sacco is an illegal alien who was ordered deported in 2000. Despite being an illegal alien, he allegedly unlawfully voted in person in the 2024 general election for federal office, falsely represented that he was a U.S. citizen in order to vote and register to vote. If convicted, faces a maximum possible sentence of five years in prison investigated by the FBI. The charges and allegations contained in this indictment.

are merely accusations. Every defendant presumed innocent. Okay. So we got this guy all the way back to 2000 somehow and other illegal alien. Everyone agrees on this. He both is able to register, then vote in person, not even by mail and ballot. And yet here illegally, Scott Presler and others on this, and rightfully so, how many other people that are here illegally in Pennsylvania or wherever? are able to vote and have voted. Is it the tip of the iceberg? So this is the second line of defense of those who don't want to reform the system and put integrity in the system. And that second line of defense is, oh, it really doesn't matter. Why do you need to save America? Well, if it doesn't matter, let's have it here. And Dave McCormick was on today, and he talked about the mechanism relatively easily, the argument that women who have married won't be able to vote and I'll stop it already. But this is an example right here. Now, I plan to, and Scott's on a Monday, I think he's going to put more information up on Twitter. We want the full background of this. We want to see this step by step by step by step. I hope that Medcaf does that. And then we can make a determination. about how did this guy get through the system, the determination being how many more people are able to do this and would do it. All right? So this isn't even a mail-in ballot. This is in person. And every time this comes up, that's the first argument on the other side. It's unknowable because we haven't been stringent enough to stop this stuff to know, could they sway? And it really doesn't matter to me, by the way. I'm not going to move the goalpost. One person voting illegally is enough, canceling out your vote or my vote. They have to provide the numbers. They have to prove, well, this is minimal. Is it? Which isn't really the issue. If it's one, it's one. Somehow another, he did it. How did he do it? Where did he go? Why didn't they see this? How much of this could be done? 855 839, 1210. Let me go to Robert and Ben Salem on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Robert, afternoon. Hey, Dom, Henry, as always, it's good to talk to you. Thank you. I had a great show today. Seriously, great show. I think that Paul needs to learn his history a little bit because then he'd understand the schisms between Shiite and Sunni and Persian and Arab. The Kurds are on the move in northeast and Iraq. He's not the Baltic, I mean, the Gulf states are now being drawn into it. And I think that this is going to end very badly for Iran. And what we do know right now is that Iran is not weeks away from getting a nuclear weapon. And that was the whole thing. And what he doesn't seem to realize, and I hate this because they create a problem, we try to fix it, and they spend their whole day trying to fight it and protest it and all this nonsense. Trump had Iran boxed in. In 2018, their net oil revenues peaked at $51 billion. After Trump's sanctions, that was down to $11 billion. Not counting to $17.8 billion that Obama and Biden gave them in cash.

He gave them unlimited waivers to Trump sanctions, and that enabled Iran to acquire another $120 billion in net oil revenues, paying for Hezbollah, paying for Hamas, paying for October 7th. Trump is trying to fix that problem without using the old ways, and these idiots are coming out and carping like it's the end of the world. And it just gets sickening. It gets sickening. to watch them obstruct our efforts to clean up their ridiculous mess, you know what I mean? Well, and again, the dilemma is post-October 7th, Israel, rightfully, is not going to wait. You know, if they have any scintilla that they're fairly close or getting close, they're going to go after them, and they're going to go after us, the Iranians. So you have to strike. Depending on who you ask, depending on who you ask, Israel has had nuclear weapons for the last 40 to 60 years. And despite repeated and constant attacks from their neighbors, have they ever used them? No, they are responsible stewards of nuclear weapons. Iran can't be trusted to do that. And we need to do what we're going to do. I hope there's no boots on the ground. But it leads me to my side answer, which is another message that Democrats created. To me, the worst replacements in recent history are... our replacements, the ones they were trying to bring in for the last four years to replace us. And that was just... These are sick people, Dom, and they are pure, pure evil. And I'll leave it at that. I don't like to use the word evil because I'm not like a religion, but they are. They are just straight up evil. And whatever we can do to stop them, it'll work. And so my answer is, are replacements that they tried to bring in over the last four years. And I hope everybody has a great weekend, man. You take care, Don. Thank you very much. To that point, and I'm surprised at this. Look, you probably sense. And I'll be blunt. You can tell me why. I'm not giving JD Vance, the 2028 nomination, but JD Vance doing some, I'm not sure the politics of this, sort of backtracking from his dispute with the U.S. Bishop saying maybe he was too harsh when he said they may have had a bottom line issue with the Catholic Church being involved with all those nonprofits and bringing people illegally into the country. I see other people out there that are interesting. And JD Vance during this, he's done a good job politically. His instincts and his base are not on board with this. They're more in that, well, Israel's calling the tune too much here. And that's why you don't see him. Now, we know Marco Rubio and no love loss with Trump the first time he ran. Remember that Marco Rubio, the whole thing? But Marco Rubio is the one that's shiny now. And I still like Ron DeSantis. And if Pam Bondi goes, I think Ron DeSantis would be a heck of an attorney general. So where is it just because JD Vance is the VP? Not only that.

Do I think as a fact that President Trump would endorse him behind the scenes or not? No, I don't think that. I don't see that yet. I think more likely it could be Marco Rubio. So all this stuff that JD Vance, you know, in polling because of name recognition and all the rest, is the guy that will be the nominee. I think we're a long, long way from that. I don't see it happening ultimately. And I don't know that JD Vance wins easily. There's a lot of stuff there. Part of his life story is unbelievable. Other things that have come up, we'll see. At 855, 839, 12, 10. Now, he does have Donald Trump Jr. Donald Trump Jr. out there today all over endorsing Ken Paxton in Texas. I think President Trump is going to endorse John Cornyn. And I get it. John Cornyn is the ultimate rhino. but you're willing to roll the dice with Ken Paxton and his baggage. Very, very difficult. I know. What about Brian Fitzpatrick? The existential question. I go to Holy Men. What do we do about Brian Fitzpatrick? They go, I don't know. It's on you. I'm only a Holy Man. I'm Confucius here. What does it say? I know what Bill of Buck says, oh, you've got to go with Fitzpatrick in the end, Dom. You'll come around. And by the way, Jackie Heinrich, who is, I guess, fiance, was pretty fired up and I think happy to report on Kristi Noem yesterday of what was happening. Several people noted that. All right. 855, 839, 12, 10, you get in. Hit us with that all-time successor replacement. Real or fictional? Good or bad, it doesn't matter. Just hit us with that at 855, 839, 1210. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. That sounds more like it. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, versus the cover. All right, pretty good stuff here. Dom Gierdano show. Let me know if you like the Friday 5. It was quite interesting. Henry's... excitement level with parasite was off the try. I'm checking. It's a movie everyone to see. Yeah, exactly. I will give that a shot. I could have put 12 angry men in there, though. I mean, and it's all just in one jury room. Yeah, it's in a room. The entire thing. Which is impressive considering how good it is. Every actor in that is well known during that period. I mean, of major character actors, every one of them's in there. And Henry Fonda, I think, is pretty underrated all time. All right, we'll do something on that next week. One quick thing. John Fetterman versus Andy Kim, both Democrats, right? One masquerading as a moderate, Andy Kim immediately says he can't vote for Markwayne Mullin. No reason given, just he's not going to do it. Peterman has said, yeah, he's worked with him, sees him as a good choice to head up Homeland Security. I think he's an interesting guy. He's going to be better than Christine Ome. I think there's got to be an agreement here. Tom Homan gets to do that part of it. You concentrate on FEMA and protecting terrorism and I'll let him. He knows what to do with ICE. Don't worry about it. Let him do it. He doesn't report to you or whatever. Just let Tom Homan and beat Tom Homan.

Let me go to, oh, man, both of them. Every Greek in the world is here today, right? They're all at the diner. They're all at the diner listening to the show. So big in that community. It's the David Petraeus thing yesterday. By the way, they made a big deal in Caitlin Susan Collins last night. We got David Petraeus coming back. And then today on Fox, they did the same thing. Really good about it. Yeah. And I did see on the YouTube the sweater with the K-A-R-R little sweater he has on there doing the whole thing. Same spot, yeah. All I know is I didn't care about Iran. He verified Iran with him. That's it. We had that for all time. None of that was made up. Zenos in Upper Darby. Hey, Zenos. Good afternoon, Dom, and happy New Year to you. Thank you, Zena. Yeah, Dom, yes, I really missed the show. I was working and had a, you know, I didn't make too much of a deal about Petraeus, but, you know, he's a good one. Not because he's Greek, he's a military man, and I always support the military, the police, and, of course, my ancestors and yours. Of course. Thank you. And the other, and the ones that, and everybody who built this country, not just certain people. But, Tom, you know, this new man that they're going to have, the senator, which I really like. Now, here's the thing. He started his father, father started a business. He built it up to a great big one. Now, you mark my words, that mealy-mouthed liberal, the guy to never work the day in his life, that Andy Beshear is from Kentucky. Watch him criticize. like he did the vice president. And this guy never did an honest day's work. Wait, wait a minute. You know, that is such an insight. That is you really going granular there. I couldn't agree more. And the other guy that never worked at Dana's wife, J.B. Pritzker, will be in there too. Because they haven't done it. How can this guy head this up? America's kids are going to see a non-college graduate heading this up. It's an outrage. That's what they think. Not to me. It's not. Because of our people, your people, mine, they work here. There's a guy that has the Melrose diner. He came here with $17 in his pocket. He's got over 25 or 26 diners around this area. The diner metric. You guys are the diners. That's how we measure. Us Greeks measure that and big ships. You know what I mean? The big giant boats that we, you know, one of the largest merchant fleets in the world. But that's what I mean. Watch his guy come out of the woodwork and all these other ones. J.B. Pritzker, he's another one. That's why he's so damn fat. He never worked the day in his life to move around. You know, I can't stand. These guys are a bunch of hypocrites. You know what I mean, Dom? But she is particularly a weasily one. What's your side, Zinos? What do you have today? My sign is that a three's company, you know, when Norman Fell left the show and they put Don Nott. Don Nott's was good. But Norman Fell was the best. Plus, I didn't really watch it for either of them. I used to watch the babes that were in a nice show. Thank you. We got to get Zinos. The boagans.

He'll be doing the back room. It'll be a history of Greece with maps and everything else with Zinos. But that was such an insight. Yeah, the fact that people in the media are saying, well, you know, this guy never went to college in Markwayne Mullin Moll, and he took a plumbing business of his dad and built it in Maldi, Moli, and all the rest of it. Who's one of the first? J.B. Pritzker is a guy, but I think even better. Zeno's had it. This Andy Beshear guy, he made much of the fact he went after the life story, Hillbilly elegy of JD Vance and trying to diminish it, trying to take it down a notch. They're never the American success story. And this guy Andy Beshear, his father was a big lawyer, big thing, put him in there. He's never really done anything on his own. He's a lightweight, and when he gets into it, it's just like Gavin Newsom is a lightweight of a higher order. Remember we told you last week how he was trying to appeal to African-American voters saying he didn't do well in the SATs and he's dyslexic. He had trouble reading, he said. And then they came out, wait a minute. The Getty family had him as like their third son. And the guy who had the ear, the grandson, chopped off, went on a shopping spree to get over it with Gavin Newsom. And Henry saw that picture in the San Francisco Chronicle and is stuck with him forever with Gavin Newsom. Well, it's the yearbook photo from his high school. Yeah, yeah. Completely different one where it's, oh, okay. He wins most stylish in high school as a senior superlative. Yeah. Like you're not, you're not poor, buddy, if you're coming to the school every day and fancy fits. So picture him in the ring with Josh Shapiro. The first thing I would demand if I'm Gavin Newsom is that Josh Shapiro. has to stand next to him. That's what I be demanding. Henry, I went through this in a debate. Former PD, not Greg, somebody else. We're in the room. We're going to do this big debate down at the Infinity Live, whatever it was called that. We should do that again. But two or three of these guys say, I don't want to stand next to Dom and a former program director, two program directors ago. Oh, yeah, that's right. Dom's about six, three and a half. I felt as if the lies, I'm in a world of pygmies, even I couldn't attest to that. But they didn't want to stand next to. They get it that in a debate. Yeah, it looks bad. I mean, it's over. Well, that's what I was counting on, a little bit of height. I don't want to stand next to Dan or somebody like that. Well, you know what? If a guy's six foot eight.

and you're pretty tall people don't look at it that way i disagree you think so i i all my friends are huge i'm the rump of the litter they're freakish that's the way yeah but like they can like they've done it to me before we're like you know like when i was single like it was like you know you're talking to girls and they'd be like oh how tall do you think you know we are and you know They'd say something like, oh, you're 6-1, you're 6-1, and they point out of me to like, you're 5-8. I have to have to have to put this up on Twitter. I think women are not looking. If you get to 6'3, that's enough. They think it's freakish after that. That's the height you want to be. Well, yeah, sure. But, like, I'm just saying, like, around my friends are all like 6-6-6-7. I'm just the dwarf. I look like I'm 5.9. Oh, I see. I look like I'm Josh Shapiro. All right. I don't fully think that, though. I think people have a sense of proportion. They're extremely tall. You're tall. I think you'd be surprised. I don't think some six-foot-eight guy's going to be president, really. I'm not seeing that. People will look at that. I don't know about that. It's a little bit too much. Sorry, Dan. Sorry, Dan. No presidency for you. Drew in Upper Darby, Talk Radio 1210. Hi, Drew. Hey, Dom, thanks a lot, man. I love listening to Zenos, man. He's brilliant. He really, he really is brilliant. Drew, we got to get him the molligans. I'll give him a spot. He can just, Johnny will close, you know, the back room, let him go for 40 minutes. No doubt. No doubt. He's got some seven-star of the tax are coming on me. But, Tom, when you talk about the diners, the takeout coffee cups. If you see them, they got, like, the Parthenon on them and with Zeus. You know what I mean? Seriously, and the coffee, and the coffee at these diners, they're contracted out with a coffee company from Philly. They're called Lacaz. Lockaz coffee. Okay. They all got the same Greek coffee. It's good stuff. And I'm real quick with the... The Markwayne Mullin, like, what's he going to do it at every press conference when they ask him a question? You don't want to fight everybody? Like, let's get ready to rumbo. Well, you know, the guy is so into that. The thing that I remember is he said it's taken off his wedding ring before he fights. That's a guy that you don't want to mess around with. That's experience. That tells me he's done that before. Oh, exactly. Hey, on my side question, Dom, I know you're not a Beatles guy. You know what, but I think the Beatles, I think they're deeper and they're more sophisticated than the Stones. The Stones are awesome. But when the Beatles, sorry about that. But when the Beatles first started, their original drummer was Peter Best. And then Ringo came along. So I appreciate it, Tom. Thanks, man. Pretty good replacement. I don't see Jagger and Keith Richards allowing Yoko Ono. To do what she did. I agree on that. Yeah, that's not happening. Absolutely. By the way, Yoko Ono is back with John Fetterman. The wife was back and she took down or.

Something happened with some of her illegal immigration posts. Yeah, she posted something a while back and then waited a while, waited until I think the heat died down and then deleted all of it. Yeah, exactly, exactly. And I think he was much different when he's on his own versus when he was with her early on. Now, she did nurse him through a stroke, could have been the whole thing. But we got to stop with this talk radio chant. that you're supposed to say as a host, oh, these people are going to vote for John Fetterman someday. He's luring you in. Not going to vote for John Fetterman. He's progressive on several issues. But this guy is from the heart when it comes to Israel, the military, common sense. And he immediately said, yeah, he knows Mullen. He'd be a heck of a guy heading up Homeland Security. If I were Mowen, the guy I want testifying before Congress for me, is that union head. who said, yeah, this guy's going to stand up for America. And I love the union guy, didn't back down. And Bernie Sanders is the one that stopped it. I want that guy heading up Homeland Security. We have temperamentally, Dom, is they going to attack everybody? All right. Quick comment, Jim and Wayne's got something on Markwayne Mullin Bowen. Jim, go right ahead. Hey, I just want to say to begin with Stones over to Beatles a thousand times. Thank you very much, yes. And that's coming from a deadhead. But at the same time, about Markwayne Mullin, I appreciate the fact that, you know, he's a tough bellicose guy who took that business and, you know, built it into something and sold it off for a ton of money. So he's got good business acumen, which counts. But here's the thing. He doesn't have any intel or military or law enforcement experience. And the one thing I would hope, which is probably a, you know, a pipe dream. But, Dom, have you ever heard of Sarah Adams? Not sure. Why? Who's Sarah Adams? She's like on the Sean Ryan show now. Okay. I've been watching her for a month. She was a CIA targeter, and she worked mostly with special forces. And when you sit down and listen to her, your hair is going to fall out when she talks about the real threat. She should be his number one aide at Homeland Security. I mean, she's just a wealth of experience and knowledge. And if you could ever get her on the show, you would, like I said, your hair would. Well, check her out. Look, I agree, doesn't have expertise in those areas. But it takes savvy here and relying on the right people. as opposed to that. Yeah, and like you said, he's the guy who took his ring off when he wants to go. So that means a lot when he consider politics. And it's also, I take this as a signal that Tom Homan, if you were in the room with Tom Homan, you'd see what I mean. There's no nonsense with him. He's not grandstanding. He's going to be allowed to do this smartly in the correct way with ICE, and that's what I want. How about your side, Jim? I'm sorry, I missed a question. A successor or a replacement.

For who? I'm sorry. Oh, just in general, because of Noam going. Do you have anybody that jumps in your mind a successor or a replacement? Sarah Adams. I'm telling you. Thank you, Jim. I'm marking it down. We'll check her out. We're already on it. I vaguely know the show that you mean. I have to check on her. All right. Coming up, hit us lightning round, and we'll pick the winner this week. We got some real all-stars in here. Hit us with that all-time successor replacement. That's next on Talk Radio 1210. Tom Giordano. On Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning round. That's exactly right. Let's go to Joe in Columbus. Hey, Joe, what do you have today? Hey, Dom, a couple quick comments before I give my answer? Sure. Coming from one of your appointed hair aficionados, Gavin Newsom does not have good hair. He is a petroleum refinery waiting fire waiting to happen. I'm into the hair gel, as you know. Come on, Joe. I salute you as a fellow with great hair club. But use a little bit more gel. Nothing wrong with it. I've shaken hands with you. They were never greasy, Don. You tell me you care, don't? Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. All right. I'm not to reach the pot. I'm going to have to redefine this relationship. Don, the other comment I want to make is every time you bring up Springsteen, and I failed to mention this in the past, I think of Leslie of Brynmore. And I know she's gone to a handful of more concerts than I have, but I just want to know from her. if Springsteen has broken her heart as much as he's broken mine. All right. Well, Lance, she's on hold. Joe, what's your side? Awesome. Dom, mine is, and this guy should have put you guys all in your happy place, and he has yet to do it. I know it hasn't happened in my house, but it's Nick Foles winning you guys your first Super Bowl. Yeah, great successor. You can't end. Just an unbelievable guy. Nobody better. Leslie and Bryn Moore. Hi, Leslie. I didn't know you were a Springsteen fan. Aloha. Aloha. You know, I didn't either. I think he meant Amory, but that's another, yeah. I think he did too, yes. I was a fan when I was in high school. I remember getting the Born to Run album for my birthday. But I've never been to a Springsteen concert. Good. So my heart's intact. All right. So what's your side today? So I'll do the side quickly, but quickly on Iran.

Trump is pulling the wall over the eyes of everybody, and what is going to be revealed will shock us. And I've taken some off-ramps from the mainstream highway to get this information, and it's going to be shocking to the world. My answer today is Elon Musk buying Twitter from Jack Dorsey. That is a really good one. Is it a good one or is a bad one? Why do you say bad, Henry? It sucks now. I disagree. I disagree. I think that's good one. I think it's the good one. I would say it is definitely whichever side you come down on a big successor. That's a big platform and big difference. It's a big difference, I think, for the worst. Okay. Let me squeeze a quick one in here. Gary in Newtown, Gary, what's yours?

Happy New Year. But sure it's Gary. It rolls on. Yeah. I got to go with Dave in the movie Dave. Everybody loved him. The first lady loved him. The staff loved him. And even he had the first those department. Murray. All right, Dave, in replacing the president, the fake president. All right, Kirk, this is going to take some doing this was a much better side question than I thought. Oh, hands down. I got to go with Bill and Sakein with second terror and then be wished. Okay, that was pretty funny. It was good. Because of the divisiveness, so is it, I'm going to go with Leslie and Bryn-Mar with Elon Musk buying Twitter, not X, Twitter. Okay. I am going to go with that one, too, even though you don't have to come down and favoring it. It is a big example of a succession replacement that pops, without a doubt. All right, we put him into the hat. Here are the five finalists this week. Yeah, Monday. We asked for oxymorons, Lance and South Philly, one with the Living Dead. Tuesday, I asked for Associated with the Middle East. Jerry Wilmington, one with the Ten Commandments. Wednesday, we asked for associate with unions. Gary, a Newtown one with Rat. Yesterday we asked for an all-time scene, a patriotic scene, Michael in Wilmington, one with the Hacksaw Ridge scene, help me find one more. And you heard it here, Leslie and Brynman, one with Elon Musk's buying of Twitter, put all those into the hat. Get a little drum roll here going.

All right. That is a number one. Lance in South Philly this week's winner. Lance, nice extermination here. Lance gets a $50 gift card to Burger King being the winner of the week. Great winner of the week. Great work by Kirk this week, particularly on the annex of Alante McCauley and City Council. And Henry, with the movie list. Go and see Parasite this weekend.
