The Dom Giordano Program (Full Show ) 3-5-26

Dom Chirado on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, it is Domtime. Welcome in, everyone. Great side question today. General David Betrayis, remember him, all time great. All those stories I tell you, he'll be here at 1.30 today, Henry. He will verify that I did run three miles and did not throw up. Well, sort of. We'll get that. Well, we'll get a lot about Iran. He is the former Supreme Commander there, and also... The guy who headed up the CIA, one of the all-time, the smartest top three guys I've ever interviewed or been around all these years doing talk radio. He'll be here at 1.30. 1 o'clock in studio. Alante McCauley, has he gotten his petitions yet? And Kirk, if he can check, see if anything happened with City Council today. I haven't had a chance. We'll play that before he comes on if they turned off his mic or got into it again with him today. Okay, but we have a couple of things here that are incredible coming off what's happening in Iran. First of all, can't get to it right now because the Iran thing is top. The Pope lecturing your parish priest, this is unbelievable. It's a sign of the apocalypse. We have to do sign of apocalypse again tomorrow. Remember we do that once a year? The Pope... telling the average priest, stop it already. Stop using AI for your homilies. What? Can you imagine the goofy stuff you get from AI? Are priests really dipping into AI for their homilies? I don't want to hear a homily. You know, there ought to be a little thing there, Henry, a little placard that comes underneath the priest at the lectern there. This homily partially brought to you by AI. Yeah, I need some sort of forewarning. Forewarning. I'd love to listen to, you know, if we had 50 of them and some of them were, and I bet I could tell which ones. The still language, the lack of appeal, what in the world is going on? Now, writing a homily once a week, appealing to people is not the easiest thing to be fresh to have something that gets people going. I get it. But you can't be relying on AI. I'll give you all the details from Pope Leo saying, you know what, Ixnay on the AI for your weekly homily. You got to stop it. But we'll have the sound in a moment. Megyn Kelly on it, we have. All right, let's start with Megyn Kelly. Now, as we've said, these war situations have people reveal themselves. Stephen Miller with Sean Hannity last night. outrageously redefining America first. I don't know why he'd be doing it. Look, he's a brilliant guy. I know. I mean, I've debated him on something way back way. He's intense. Why do they need to redefine what America first is? I think... We have CNN today saying at this point in time, President Trump is more supportive, beloved by his own party than any of the most recent presidents. He's at 86% among Republicans. Others were in the 70s, like Bush, Bush Sr. So why this need in the Iranian war, and it is a war. I know we can't say that because of Congress and all the things, but it's a war. Come on, you know it's a war too.

Why try to do that? But listen to the deranged Megyn Kelly. Listen to this conspiracy, this anti-Israel stuff. that Israel is paying a bunch of influencers seven grand a post. I don't know how long the post has to be, Henry. You know how to operate my Twitter there? Just by Israel, go, Dopsis, go. Seven-K. Yeah, 50. And at the end, I'll give you 10%. All right, 50%. You put down 50% of the work. If it backfires, you did it. I had nothing to do with it. All right, here's Megan deranged, Megyn Kelly. heavily by the pro-Israel crowd and the Israel first crowd, and then the bots. There are many, many bots on X that are part of an operation. And then there are many, many live humans on X who actually get $7,000 a tweet. People have come out and admitted it from the Israelis to troll anybody who deviates from the party line. And so, like, I want the audience to understand that... This is happening, and it's an effort by a foreign country to silence the views of American about American foreign policy. All right. So Megyn Kelly, the hero here. Really, the Stoge, the puppet of Tucker Carlson, the puppeteer. Now, she put out her numbers today, and they are good. I think it was for the month of February, 138 million views on YouTube of one form or another. And then she said that's 17 times more than Ben Shapiro in the pro-Israel crowd. So are people consuming this with Megyn Kelly? Are they just not paying attention, the stuff that she's saying, the vile stuff that she's saying about our American service men and women who died for Israel or died for Iran and Israel? Are these people 138 million views? I don't know how many individual views that is, but it's a lot. Or is it just you say anything wild, like she just said? And there's a big audience for that. Is that it? Are they believing it that American service people are dying in this war for Israel and Iran, not for America? Now, also to make matters worse, we know what America first means, at least I do when I think you do. Stephen Miller goes on with Sean Hannity last night because he knows Sean Hannity. I don't know if Sean Hannity was under the desk or not, Henry, you cut this when Miller is saying this. But he's like, bail out, bail out. You can't challenge Stephen Miller. Here's Miller redefining what America first is. And you tell me, why is he doing this? People are not bailing on the Trump administration over this action. I think they made the case as long as they stay on that. A. We're not going to continue to worry that they're getting a nuclear weapon. They can't do that. This stops it. B, we're not going to have them launch ballistic missiles at everybody in the world, including our military around the world. C. Venezuela had worked. We're going to put somebody in there that's going to be friendly to the U.S. government and then move on. There will not be nation building. So any poll that I see.

I gave you the poll, the CNN poll this morning, 86% beloved Trump versus others that were Republicans by his own party at this point in time. All right. So here is a lot of movement here. Here is Stephen Miller and tell me, this is not an academic exercise. I don't know why they're doing this. We know what America First is. People believe in that. It doesn't mean isolationism. We've known that all long. But we're not going to engage in boots on the ground in nation building. Well, Stephen Miller went a bridge too far last night, I think, in trying to expand America first. Here's what he said. I don't think that people understand the Trump doctrine is not isolationism. Maybe you can help set them straight, because I'm not too effective, I guess. The president has made clear that he believes America's awesome military might should be used to protect and defend America's interests. Not to surrender the world to our adversaries, to our enemies, to those who would do us harm, not to surrender the world's resources, lanes of commerce or capacity to keep our citizens safe. No, America first means America will be the greatest, most unquestioned, unmatched power in the world. And it means we will defend American lives. And yes, we will avenge American blood. Iran has waged war against the American people this regime for 47 years. They took our embassy hostage. They bombed our Marines in Beirut. They kidnapped, tortured, and murdered the CIA station chief. They have maimed and wounded and attacked thousands of American troops. All of that American blood spilled by this regime. And President Trump for years has said, we will not allow a regime that sheds the blood of our citizens, that menaces our people, that spreads terrorism around the world, that trains proxy armies. We will not allow that regime to have missiles that can reach our troops, that can reach our bases that someday in the future could reach the American mainland, and certainly will not allow that regime to have nuclear weapons. All right, I don't get, though, the expansion of America first here, as if we didn't know this and as if the pretext for this war is solid and that everybody agrees with that. I'm not understanding that. All right, so it's 855, 839, 1210. You get in. AT&T and Verizon Wireless, all that you have to do is just push pound 1210. Coming up, YouTube.com slash 1210 WPHT. We have just a brief bit of footage from Libs of TikTok. The high school, I'm not sure if this is Central Bucks East, I think it is. And I'll tell you, I think it would be pleasantly surprised when there was a walkout the other day, what some students did there. And the question is, I can't find it in local media. And that's one of the complaints that eventually got sent to Libs of TikTok.

You know, just another reason why Talk Radio 1210 is the thing that gives you stuff that the local media many times is censoring or doesn't think is important or doesn't fit the narrative. This footage, I think, is compelling if you're a news organization. So we'll play that for you, set it up coming up. Let me give you the side question now. Happen to see the two really good friends. particularly Ray on with us over the years. Ray did injure. I guess he's back, Henry, from the Cruz. I thought he wouldn't be back. I thought it was till May. Yeah, well, I saw it on Twitter, unless that's an old picture. He and Glenn Mack now, who have authored several books together, particularly the 100 Greatest Sports Films of All Time. Now have a new presentation. I think in April they're doing it, so he's got to be here in South Jersey, then in May and Delco. And it's sports films, the best patriotic scenes in sports films. I didn't know there were that many of them. I guess coming off the American hockey team and coming off the miracle on ice, there's enough and there's a demand for that. That's good, that people are interested in that. So we'll have that. They'll be doing that. They gave me the idea. Henry and I broadening it out. We want to know the scene. the all-time scene, and even if you have a sentence or two of the dialogue of a sports film, patriotic. Now, when I started Googling, no surprise, because I think it's in the top three, the Patriot came up. And what that showed is the founding fathers, the suffering, the resilience. So the scene that everybody says to the most patriotic, and I would agree in the film, Mel Gibson and the flag scene winning to battle, hold, hold, hold, and then storming and attacking and hitting the one guy with the flag and knocking on the flag waving across the top. My favorite scene, though, the life lesson in anything, Henry, is his sons. What did I tell you, boys? When they're going to shoot at the greatest military force in the world, it's just him and his two sons who are about eight and ten or so. Right, yeah, on the woods. Yeah, what's the thing he reminds him? aim small miss ball and they're going to aim small miss small bang aim small aim small it's a great life lesson isn't it oh totally yeah if i'm aiming for this sliver of something and i miss it ball's still on the green it's that type of thing but you know the british have the fire of power they're trained soldiers they're the greatest military force in the world and you're eight and ten years of age behind some logs firing away at them it's hard to say aim small miss small So they're probably aiming for a button or something. If they may sell, they still kill them. It's that kind of thing. That is an unbelievable scene. That really sets a movie in motion. That's a film where I remember. We talked about it. I may have been at WWDB. Audiences were standing and cheering at the end, or at various parts. How about yours? Yeah, so how about in the end of saving Private Ryan where Private Ryan goes to Arlington National Cemetery and visit Captain Miller, Tom Hanks's grave, the whole aging process, how emotionally gets at the end of the movie. I mean, I feel like it doesn't get more patriotic than that. Yeah, I think.

if not staring patriot. I want to make this point, I think we're making it, that with these films, there might be more than one scene just because someone did, yeah. I like the scene where he says, you know, I'd be home right now playing baseball back in my hammock when they're deciding whether to kill the prisoner or not. He launches into that whole thing and just at the end, the blowing up to be able to stop it. My God, yeah. That's one of the few films where I think ABC was right to allow the cursing in when they're storming the beaches of Normandy. Yeah, you got to allow it. You know, if you come along with a knockoff, if you just want a curse to be on TV, I can't. That's the standard, yeah. All right. That's the one. Yeah. Kirk, how about yours? So mine is from Independence Day, where the aliens are taking over the world or taking over America. And then the president's speech. Phil Pullman, yeah. Right, exactly. President's speech. And in closing, he said, today we celebrate our Independence Day. And that's like a triumph of cheering and applause and let's take the aliens down. Aliens are a good enemy. Everybody's got to get on board with that. I don't know. Megyn Kelly might see something wrong with that. I don't. Yeah. 855, 839, 12, 10, you got to get in on this one. Everybody has one. Coming up, a senator, a state senator named Timberlake, I didn't look in Jersey. I didn't look up his first name. It's got to be Justin. Wait until you hear what he wants to do if a kid is accused of being biased in any way. Will this maniac get this bill passed? I'll tell you about that too. Coming up on Talk Radio 1210. Tom Chiodato on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. What's that from, Henry? It seems like a waltz. The Patriot. I don't even remember the scene. Do you remember what, area of the film? Yeah? No, it's just the main theme of the movie. Okay. All right. It's starting to build up toward the part that I remember. Okay. So we're looking for a patriotic scene. Tell us, it's all in the call, the dialogue. That's the side question. All right. YouTube.com slash 1210 WPHT. This first one is serious. The second one is even more serious. We got to get this guy on. He is an Italian pro wrestler. They keep on calling him semi-pro and he doesn't like that. You got to see this on YouTube. And his gimmick is, He uses a pizza in knocking down the opponent all the time. It is quite an elaborate for a semi-pro. It looks like only, you know, minor league wrestling, maybe not even AAA, like, you know, barely 10 people there. Is there any commentary on this, Henry, or the guy just does it? It's more just crowd reaction. Yeah, crowd reaction. So let's play that one first. This guy's a semi-pro YouTube.com slash 1210 WPHT. So he comes walking out into the ring with a pizza. And he shoots the pizza at a guy somehow or another.

In the full pizza form, not slices or whatever. I don't see any pineapple on it. No, no, plain dough. Plain dough. And the pizza knocks the guy over. The guy just falls down, then he pins him. I think it's a closing move. I don't know if they bring to pizza in or not. It's the finisher. The pizza. You talk about creativity. Are we going to see this guy? Is this a big league move? I don't know. It seems like this stays in pizza towns. I don't know if this plays in the south, but they even get the pizza thing. A pizza move to knock the guy down. Big guy is knocking down too. Yeah, a big guy. And I don't even see the device that shoots the pizza. What is the device? It doesn't seem to propel the pizza that one. He's like punching it in the air. He punches that. He punches it. And the pizza hits the guy, knocks the opponent down, and he pins him. All right. Pizza makers ever, it's not deep dish. It looks to be a typical South Philly pizza to me. I don't see any flavorings, anything on there, which is a good move. Now, here is some commentary. This from Central Bucks, I think Central Bucks East. We had a walk out, Central Bucks East and Central Bucks West this week, the middle of the week. And somehow or another, the local news didn't think it was much of a story. Only 75 kids walked out out of an estimated attendance of 1,400. Listen to this plays out. YouTube.com slash 1210. As the kids are walking out, listen to some of the commentary.

Now, to the school's credit, there was no discipline for anybody. You know, you had a right to boo them. It was in the, I don't know, the entrance to the school or some part to the school where it's not classrooms that's going on. In San Diego, Torrey Pines School District is severely punishing a student for writing something that was a dialogue and narrative about being pro-ice. They say that's not protected. Those are kind of fighting words in California. They're going to have a massive lawsuit against them. In other words, a kid who wrote this, and he didn't scrolled. It wasn't graffiti. It was a poster, I believe. That's out of bounds in San Diego. You can't do that. Just by that sentiment, they're saying, you are violating the school rules. So good for Central Bucks. I guess it was East, was a little unclear, and bad for the local media. We ought to see that. Oh, my God, yes, I am ready. I'm then going to tease it up now. We have Alante McCauley's latest testimony before City Council. Now, this is going on for, this might be his fifth or six. They've done various things. They turn off his mic many weeks. Last week, we believe that they widened the camera shop because people there were booing him. Right. This is the guy who wants to flip Philly Red. By the way, if you want to hoots, Kirk, I don't know if you've seen it. I think you've seen him on Twitter, Henry. I'm going to ask him about it today. He was Ubering to the gym, and he says the woman driver was a Muslim woman who he believes was intrigued by him, so to speak. Yeah, that's all right. Interesting. He talks about. comical beyond belief. This guy's got it all good on. All right. So here's his testimony today. You get two minutes, I believe, at city council. Here's what he said. Good morning, everybody. My name is John Alante McCauley. I'm with a grassroots organization called Flip, Philly Red. We're here to offer you something different because you've been voting Democrat for the mayor's office for the past 70 years. In regards to Bill 250-768, what we have here is more government overreach. I thought Democrats were supposedly the party for unions, a bill champion by Councilmember Jamie Gunthier, that will put more than 120 family jobs at risk. I asked, would the union workers of I-U-O-E, local 542, still be voting Democrat after they gutcher jobs? What I see in Reward Chester facility is a process that turns waste into energy, giving electricity to more to 51,000 homes a year. Why are Democrats bit on creating problems and then coming up with frivolous solutions to control our life? If we have to use more landfills, property taxes will rise. Your own sanitation department said it will cost taxpayers, $6.5 million a year if you force contractors to stop using incinerators. Every day, council members had their thumbs on the scale. More regulations, more mandates, conservatives, let businesses thrive. We want you to innovate.

to the workers in operations, maintenance, engineers, and other related fields. I feel for you, because who is fighting for you? This is just another cheap political win for Councilmember Gunthier. Democrats, supposedly, the party that hates fossil fuels, but once they eliminate a process that eliminates the use of reliance on fossil fuels, modern plants use filters that minimize emissions, much more effective than dumping everything into landfills that leach toxins into our groundwater. The city of Philadelphia has more pressing things to worry about. Let's stop the sanctuary cities and let's stop the transgender for everybody. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Oh my goodness. Okay. And also a couple things. Number one, they didn't cut to it wide shot. Yeah. Two, when they have a graphic for public comment, it wasn't on there before, it's on there now. And also you heard some clapping. No booing. Right. What's the graphic you're talking about, Kirk? The Kairons. Correct. Yes. Okay, so they're now identifying people. Yeah, last week was zoomed out and no clitor on this week. Oh, good. Good progress. I mean, and that was really specific stuff on a specific. It's about the incinerator and Chester burning the trash and that stuff. It always goes. Wow. Right. All right. Here you see in studio today at one o'clock. And again, running for state committee. So is Scott Presler. All right. We'll catch up with him and get more on that coming up. Let me go to, let's get one on board here. Let me go to John in Huntington Valley. Hi, John. Good afternoon. John? Yes. John? Yes. Yeah, I'm here. Okay. So my side question is, in a league of the road, there's the scene where they go and they're recruiting Marla Hooch, the one on the team, is not real attractive. When she's saying goodbye to her father, and she's waving to him and she's on the train leaving, they flash a light picture of the American flag of old glory over it with some wonderful background music. And it always got me right in the thrill when I see that. Good one, John. Thank you from Lig of Our Own. See, it's in more films than you think. I wouldn't think something usually patriotic. So it doesn't have to be one that we always think. It could be any. Where there's that scene. Well told. Okay. We have that. Coming up, Kristi Noem, President Trump apparently ready to make them, I mean, after the testimony, look, Democrats wouldn't do this to one of their own, but asking her about her relationship with Corey Landowski, it's deserved it given the stuff that's going on there. So Trump floating with people. Who should be a replacement if he does it? And I'll tell you who he's landed on, which is pretty strange. My replacement would be Tom Homan. Put him in charge of everything. Tom Homan should be the guy that can direct everything. All right. Hit us on the side question. We'll talk with Alante McCauley in studio at 1 o'clock at 1.30, the great general David Petraeus, a lot on Iran. Big issues, big guest. All that straight ahead on Talk Radio 1210.

On Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, amazing. Turning the return music on a dime today. On the side question, yeah. 855, 833, 9, 12, 10. You get on board with Dom, Henry, and Kirk. Who is it that Trump is apparently floating to replace Kristi Noem? That would be Markwayne Mullin, the senator from Oklahoma, who wanted to duke it out. with the head of the union who also wanted to duke it out there in the Senate. The guy that goes back and forth with Bernie Sanders quite a bit. I don't see that guy. I mean, I like some of it. He's a bit of a loose canon. I much rather see Tom Homan. Tom Homan is the guy you want to have not having to have anybody tell him what to do in this stuff. He knows. Look at what he did in Minnesota. So I think Trump is going to do something on this. And this testimony, look, we know what Democrats would do. They wouldn't do it for one of their own. But Kristi Noem really couldn't answer questions about Lewandowski's role and their relationship, et cetera, under oath anyhow. And I think President Trump is recognizing some of this. And I told you my experience with Kristi Noem. I interviewed her a couple times in the spin room, so I'm following around, and she was tremendous in the interviews. As a public figure, really had gravitas, the ability to deal with what they were throwing at her. It was, you know, kind of a media frenzy. So surprising, this is not good, though. The stuff that's going on here. And when she was in Minnesota and Bovino, not good. Look at what happened when Tom Homan went in there. That's the Tom Homan approach. Trump gets at. That's what's needed here. Okay, 855, 839, 12, 10. That's how you get on board. The Megyn Kelly comments. We had a great call from a guy yesterday. We were a really nice guy defending Megyn Kelly a bit. The reason I'm going after, 138 million views on YouTube in the month of February. just as one barometer. That is a big-time mainstream figure. She's not some out of the way. And we just plagued you. Now she's claiming Israel's paying these influencers $7,000 a post supporting Israel. And she won't get off. This is the Israeli war, not anything from us. Based on what? We've been down this road. How many different points? Did the Trump administration have to make about the Iranians and why we did that? That is in our interest. That is America first. But this wing of influencers then allows the media to kind of make this point. I have several articles in front of me still trying to say, oh, the Trump base is quaking. Well, CNN this morning. Harry Enton talked about the polling, which indicates that 86% of self-described Republicans still support Trump. That is huge support. It's almost unparalleled. All right, while all this is going on, this is cut 20, Henry, our old favorite, the insufferable one herself, the Dean of Decency.

Madeline Dean, who jumps into the ring this morning talking about what's going on in Iran. Here's what Montgomery County's finest said. Six have died. In the last two, you mentioned Major O'Brien and Chief Warren Officer Marzahn. Those identified only overnight. We only learned their identities overnight. Obviously, our thoughts are with their family. In terms of the mission itself, though, If Iran's missile and drone capability is diminished, 70 or 80%, at least as it is in terms of what they're firing, is that not, does that not make the region safer? No, I don't think just from your very reporting that the region is any safer. This is something that is so incendiary and is spreading widely with the reporting of the CIA potentially backing the Iraqi Kurdish troops to go in. This is not getting safer. That we're eroding the military or the missile capability is a goal. There's no doubt about it. It is a goal. But do you know what we are losing on our side? So much of our weaponry. It is such a concern that the president has the defense industry coming into the White House today. Yeah, well, make more. How do we quickly replace. That's it, Madeline. Make more. Get your husband with the bikes in China. Make more. Fighter jets, each costing $100 million and takes a long time to replace. I'm wearing my pin today for Ukraine because I think of all this weaponry and how this weaponry. should have been put as easily as possible into the hands of Ukraine to have ended this war now four years. Let's stop right there. Let's stop right there with you lunatics who vote for this woman. She doesn't even have a Republican running against her probably in Montgomery County. Let's give Ukraine. Not our country, give Ukraine these things, not what we're doing for 47 years and finally to stop their nuclear threat, which is a threat to us and the world. You talk about incendiary, the day that they have the bomb. What do you think these other countries are going to want and do? We are degrading it. This is just preposterous stuff, but again, it gives you a window. into their voters come the midterms in our suburbs right here. Their bloodthirsty for Trump can't get at them, so they're going to go after every Republican. All right, here's a little bit more of Madowing Dean. ...as possible into the hands of Ukraine to have ended this war now four years in the making and in the deadly nature of it. And yet what we are doing is blowing up so much of our military might in the Middle East instead of focusing on peace. This president ran to bring prices down and to bring peace.

He's Orwellian in this. He's actually said that war is peace in his declarations around this. I am gravely concerned over what the president has done recklessly. All right. So the affordability thing always put affordability in there at the end. Here's the Harry Enton thing that I was telling you about comparing presidents in their own party this deep into their second term and whether they're supported or not. Here's what he said on CNN today. Republicans love Donald Trump more than any president's own party supporters loved them at this particular point. Just take a look here. Okay, own party supporters, 21st century presidents, own party approval about at this point in the second term. Bush was at 77%. Obama was at 77%. Look at this. 86% of Republicans approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing at this point. That is higher than either Obama or Bush had within their own party at this point. Trump's magic touch has not seemed to war off yet when it comes to the Republican base. And what kind of approval are we talking about here? Okay. So we're talking about overall approval here. How about the strongly approved, the strongly approved, not just like... But love, love, okay, we're going to look at these same presidents again, strong approval among your own party's base. What you see is Trump is the only one who gets a majority at this point in their presidency. Obama was at 48%, Bush was at 47%. You see here Trump at 53%, not as high as overall approval rating, but still getting a majority of the Republican base, at least in the average of polls to say that they still really, really, really like him. Okay. All right. So again, that's where I think the polling is. That's where I think people are in this. We don't need Stephen Miller now trying to do anything with America first. People get it. And Megyn Kelly, 138 million views on YouTube. What are those people watching for? Is it something else? If you're still a fan, today, Proposito, Israel's paying these people $7,000 a post just to say, go Israel. It's endless. It's Tucker Carlson. It's her. It's Alex Jay Jones. It's Nick Fuentes is in their camp. I mean, come on. Candace Owens. Is Megyn Kelly becoming a blonde Candace Owens? That's what's going on here. That's what it looks like to me. And she may have had that vast audience for now, but are they approving of this, the big lie, that this is Israel's war, not what we did because Trump saw they were not going to negotiate. and they still had sizable nuclear ability that at any moment we could be in a race again to try to stop them. All right, it's 855, 839, 1210. Let's go to Andrew in Ewing. He's on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Andrew. Hey, good afternoon, guys. How are you today? Good. I think I got a great one. I'm not a big movie guy, but I listen to your side question every day. Great scene in the movie Sandlot, the very end. The narrator comes on. America the Beautiful comes on. There's fireworks going off. And the theme of that was they were able to play baseball under the lights of the fireworks.

And it's just the way the movie wrapped up, it's a great movie. Absolutely. And then America the Beautiful. I'm not sure who was singing it, Earl Jay Jones, maybe. But what a... Well, James Earl Jay Jones is in the film, so that would have been something to do, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Sure. So, yeah, and it's very patriotic, right? They're seeing America, The Beautiful and the fireworks are going off on the Fourth of July. So that's Andrew from Ewing's side question. Thank you, Andrew. I like his style here. I hope he calls again. Piled out under Andrew from Ewing. Don't forget it, yeah. Yeah, I'm writing that down Sandlot. Nope. So far, what we're hearing, too, is it's not the films you think of war, America, that kind of thing necessarily. Well, saving private Ryan you had, I had the Patriot, the very name in the film. But Samlott and Johns was league of their own. Samlats got so many good. Probably. when the squintz guy kisses the female lifeguard. You can't top that, yeah. And the racing with that dog through the... Yeah, Hercules, yeah. Oh, God, yes. And of course... I liked when they all ate Red Man and then got on the tilt-a-whirl. Oh, yeah, yeah. And the whole analogy of stealing home, you know, that kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah, and the other guy's a sports writer, a sports commentator, yeah. 855-839, 12-10. That's how you get in. Hit us with yours. Again, 86% doesn't seem like people are turning on Trump over this. Is it just Trump's magic or do they get the logic of taking out Iran? Now, I'm going to ask David Petraeus, who can I bring on that actually had more experience and more successful experience command in Iran than they give them both Iran and Afghanistan? I remember Henry one Memorial Day getting him on. I couldn't have been more thrilled than if I'd gotten two presidents on with David Petraeus. I'll ask him about the Kurds. Sounds like a good idea as a force to come in. They've been waiting forever. But does that just provoke a civil war? I mean, these are the dynamics here starting to play out as we're degrading him. I'm going to ask him also. How is it with all this bombardment? They still seem to have command and control, and they're still able to be firing at people. All right, 855, 839, 1210. You get in with Dom on Talk Radio 1210. Tom Chiridano on Talk Radio 1210. All right, you're with Dom, 855, 8391210. Alante McCauley at 1. David Petraeus at 1.30. I've got more stories, more stuff out of that. I mean, you know, it's rare. How does a big mouth talk show host get to run with the guy who's commanding the world is the most famous out there and run three miles without throwing up? At least that's my story. I'm sticking to it. Allegedly. Allegedly. With Rhodes scholars. I know, Dom, both these. And you know what? You get this, oh, Henry. It's talking. Stop talking. I can't talk.

Well, what do you think if I said this as president? I did this? And I'm thinking, oh, my God, where did I pass out? Am I in another dimension? Yeah, can we have this conversation over TAY or something? Right. And they couldn't run in an area that they were running on like rocky terrain to have trees around us because they were afraid of snipers. That's always nice. Who was this guy that got hit? Catching the stray. Yeah. When you had people standing there marching like this running three miles, these two females with weapons, you know, don't fool around with them. Come on. That's, yeah. Yeah. They looked pretty exotic weapons. I don't think they had holsters. I don't remember that. That would have been an added touch. All right. Let's go to Joe in Columbus. Joe on Talk Radio 1210. Hi, Joe. Hey, Tom. Yeah, we were supposed to give, we were supposed to lend our F-35s to Israel. What would that have escalated with China and Russia? What would they have, how much would they have entered into the arena at that point? You know, we're relying on this lady who knows nothing about strategy, diplomacy, you know. Exactly. She should stay in her lane, you know? Yeah, it's a, you know, it's a mainstream show, Joe. That's my point. Megyn Kelly is a known mainstream show. It's not an outlier. And yet, this is the anti-Israel at best anti-Semitic stuff that she's saying and dumb stuff that she said. Yeah. Yeah, I just don't know how these people are falling away. I never, like I said the other day, I never trusted Tucker Carlson. The guy was just too ostentatious for me. And yeah, maybe you're right. Megan is following in suit. Who knows? Clicks and, you know, viewers. But Megan has to realize I listen to NPR just to fortify my own beliefs. So, you know, a lot of people maybe listen to her just to fortify theirs. Who knows? My side answer, and I did it with my chub, my boys, just like my dad did it with me, sat me down on the couch, and he said, watch this. And I went a little overboard with my kids. I asked them for their phone one day, and I put one next to the other to reverberate. And it was Lou Gehrie. And I could do it. I could do it. And they giggled after the show, you know, that scene went by, but it was that scene in the Lou Gehrigert story, where he said. Lock he is. Lockhears. Well, it was the lead up to that. He said prior, some people might say I was given a bad deal. And then I put the phones next to each other and I say, but today, today, today, today, I consider myself, myself, myself, the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And Joe, do you know, because you're such a fan, I mean, I've read this in several places and I agree with it. Lou Gehrig's disease, there's a thought. that he had been being seven times, somewhat on the base pass. I mean, like, point blank. And that may have been the cause more than anything exotic that we don't know. It could be. They didn't wear helmets back then, so I'm up at the bat. Yeah, but this was second baseman hitting him right between the eyes at full force. A couple times he had that. I remember that scene. He's running with his head down. Yeah. Right off the top of his dome. Yeah, exactly. Now, that's a great one.

Thanks, Joe. Thank you. All right, that's what we're looking for today. And if you can give us a line or two from it, so much the better. I'll let you know, Ray Dittinger must be off the cruise, Henry. They're doing this. They're wildly successful sports films with a patriotic scene in it. So we brought it out to overall. films, give us the patriotic scene. And we've had a few that are not the ones that you would think of. We've been getting all sports movies. Yeah. Now, Mike Gibson, who chastises me, but he listens to every word. And he's a good guy on Twitter. He has the Gettysburg scene, the ghost of that with Denzel Washington in Remember the Titans. So many lines for that. I don't even know why I send her on Game Ball. Ronnie Bass. I don't know that Denzel won anything for that, but I mean, as a coach, and it's based on a true story of an integrated school coming together, perfect record. I think they were number two in the country and going to Gettysburg for their two-week camp, you know, in emotional times with racism and all that going on. Pretty good stuff. The guy who played Gary Bertier. Yeah, you don't fall around with that guy. The film makes out pretty well. If you haven't seen it in a while, it is a great film. Okay, coming up, the man is back. Flip, Philly Red. His testimony today we played you at City Council, we'll ask him about it. Alante McCauley, and it'll take calls, 855, 839, 12, 10 will be in studio with us at 1.30. We'll talk to General David Petraeus, who I've seen all over the media. He commends what's going on in Iran, saying so far so good. And I'll ask him about the difficulties, though, because, you know, he commanded Iraq and then Afghanistan. The difficulties in that part of the world is Iran like that to come out of this. What's the best we can come out of it with? Or what is the metric of know that this is a win? I think it would be a friendly government. They're just not going to engage in this stuff and we'll have to deal with whatever they do in their own country. It's not nation building. It can hardly wait to bring you Petraeus. 8-5. By the way, Henry, you know what his background is. Ethnic. Greek. Yes. All right. Sixtus. The father, he told me, 6thus. S-I-T-U-S-T-U-S-T-S-T-S. Petraeus. And I think he was like a tugboater ship captain. Very hard. The Greeks. The Greeks on the water. They invent those too. All right. So, yeah, Zinos and Drew, one of your own at 1.30 today on Talk Radio 1210, 1210. Dom Jirado, on Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Okay, it is Dom time. Henry, behind the curtain, I'll tell you, during the break, what was I talking with Alente about? Jim's working out. This guy is a physical fitness candidate extraordinaire. Seems to be these guys that run for office. That's what you have to do. Alante McCauley is with us in studio after his weekly visit.

to Philadelphia City Council. Last week we saw them not take a close up, pan out, and we saw the booers. There were no booing today. They didn't seem to catch on. You were speaking about something really specific about trash incinerators. Yes, sir. So last week, well, the past, since I've been going, they have a lot of national news topics on their agenda this week. I don't know. I guess they wanted to test my range to see if I can just only talk about, you know, national issues. Right. Great. This is what we want. We want you to stop focusing on Minnesota or other places. Exactly. That's the point. But I'm showing you I got range too. So, yes. Yeah, exactly. So. How are the petition drive going? You always need more because people are going to particularly with you. I think maybe both parties might see. Let's check out that Dom Gerdano's sick. I'm telling you, nobody can have handwriting like that. It was pure Palmer. Thank you for featuring that. I don't think they can dismiss that. We have teams of lawyers standing by. Right. It was excellent. The past few days has been excellent. Thank you to the Patriots across the southeast Pennsylvania. It's helped this, you know, as far as... updated walking list. It's hard to find good information, especially in Philadelphia. They purposely try to make it difficult for us, especially if you're not a part of that establishment. So thank you to everybody that's been helping. So you have to find Republicans in Philadelphia. Man, needle in a haystack. So it's been what I've always always talked about that I've never had a Republican knock on my door. I said that on a lot of platforms. Now I'm actually becoming the Republican that's knocking on doors. So when you see people, they're like shocked and they're like almost in tears that Flip Philly Red is going around and we're knocking on ascending with people because you'll see on some of these blocks, you'll have about seven houses that have no ice in their windows. And so you'll find one Republican on that block and she feels like she's behind enemy lines. And so just to let them know that you're not alone, that, you know, you have a community here, follow us on Facebook. We're going to have town halls. We're coming. Some of these people don't even know that we have a Philadelphia, GOP chairman. They didn't know. They was like, what? Because they couldn't understand why we never have candidates to go against Larry Krasner, true Republicans, true conservatives. And I said, well, that's the Philadelphia GOP chairman's job, is to go find us those type of people. And so they said, oh, okay. So we're stunning to them. I'm glad if that alone, they realize there is something else out there versus how far Democrats have gone. Now, when you run in May, if you get on the ballot, we need your signatures have to be verified. Everybody knows that. Is it by congressional district people vote, or is it statewide you vote to be on the state committee? Well, it's for a state committee, but only the people in the congressional districts that I'm getting my signatures for will be able to vote for me. So unfortunately, all of Philadelphia would not be able to vote more than likely for me, like people in the second district, which is like a lot of northeast. Okay. So you won't.

be able to vote if you're not in Philadelphia for me. So one day, guys, you know, when the Lord says, Alante, this is what I want you to do, and then, you know, you might have a chance to vote for me, but we'll see. But to that point, there can't be that many Republicans of significance. You're all over the place. I don't even know who else is a Republican in those areas that I would know. Right. You know, it's hard trying to, it's like needle. You know, it's a lot of work. People think, oh, you haven't got your signature. I'm in Philadelphia. So a lot of people, they might be conservative in a Republican in their heart, but because they've not had candidates to vote for, because they've not had anybody knocked on their door, in order to feel like they can be a part of the election process, they have been Democrats. So you'll see comments. I just had a comment before I walked into your marvelous show. She just said, I'm switching my parties for you. Like we've got a bunch of those. And I retweet that. So, you know, when you're speaking about the issues and you, you are fighting and you're going down to city council and you're speaking with common sense. I haven't said anything about fundraising. I haven't said anything. Can you donate to me? I've been just speaking about the issues and I've been bringing energy. You certainly have. Every week we play it, you have your moment here. Now, you've said 70 years since we've had a Republican. Yeah, just put the Billy the Kid in next week. Let's see what they see and say, Billy the Kid was alive for three years. Go check it out. Yeah, he'll give me a smirk. Yeah, exactly. So when you're out there right now, are people talking about the war, or is it just a very local Philadelphia issue? Very local Philadelphia issue. The number one issue. Top two is the PPA. Right. Philadelphia parking authority. That's like they call them at a stop. Right. So that's the real threat. And it's just like there's nowhere to park in the city. And they go untouched. And so you have that in Krasner. You have these, you have, of course, the fentanyl. You have the teenagers who gets a slap on the back. If they committing any type of crimes. And then like, you know, I just was in city council. And once again, they're talking about being a sanctuary city. You know, it's women's history month, so they wanted to highlight, you know, a bunch of women that are in the political process or part of these NGOs. And they're up there publicly advocating for illegal aliens and saying, we're fighting for non-citizens. Of course, that's the word that they're used. Exactly. And they're saying this in-city council publicly. What is it your sense now when people talking about the parking authority? Because we've gone after them tremendously, red light cameras parking authority. Right. What do you think the establishment? Because Republicans get those patronage jobs with them. Right. And that's where we don't have any Republican pushback on the fact they are predatory. I mean, this is the one thing where they're good at their job, which is enforcing things that are wildly out of place. There is no place to park. It's too expensive, et cetera. Well, they created these 15 many cities. And then so to the, well, you know, Vince Fernity used to be the president or the lead of the head of PPA, whatever. But even though he's not in that position anymore, like you said, a lot of Republicans, that was the deal. You know, we won't put up certain candidates in a lot of these Democratic areas. We won't challenge your candidates. You know, let us have these patronage jobs. You know, so it's a lot of deals and backdoor alleged deals that's been said. And hopefully somebody investigates this stuff. You know, I hope.

that Attorney General Dave Sunday looks into this. We need help in Philadelphia. There's only but so many Nick Shirley's in Philadelphia that's going to actually do that type of work. Do you know Frank Scales? Yes, I do. I thought so. Okay. You two guys on an ally there because he gets it to that bit of entertainment, which you have and he has. Yes. That's what draws people to Twitter to see the real issue. Right. They are entertained by it and they're excited that somebody's actually trying to do something. And we're both young. And so, like, he's a little younger to me, but it's like we're bringing energy and creativity. We've embraced the new social media, the new media, you know, whether it be podcast and are on-demand interviews, on the street interviews. And so Frank is a very intelligent man. He's very savvy and he's very quick. You know, he's everywhere. So, yeah. Well, that's a new dawn in Philadelphia. And we're glad that the two of you have migrated here. How about support? You don't have to name names behind the scene. Are we seeing some people that are getting it? Some of the comments you're making that we need two parties in Philadelphia at least. Are you referring to people in our party? Yeah, yeah. Are you getting, you're starting to get, or are they still seeing you as a threat? I want to, well, I am, I will always be a threat, but I want to give credit where creditors do because I specifically called out war leaders, maybe the last time that I was on at the time before that. So I want to give credit where creditors do is somebody that will always give me the air. And he is, you know, a part of that establishment circle, but he respects me. He's always been welcoming. Matt Wolf is a prominent war leader in Philadelphia. And he's always been. been, you know, John, if you need anything, you know, call me, things like that. So you'll have people that will give me the air. Then you have people on the opposite side that is always willing to, you know, nitpick it every single thing that I do. And that's okay, too. I welcome all the challenges. So to refresh now, you still need signatures. We want to be certain about that. Are you doing a signing event or what do, where do people go? No more of it. I'm not. Not where somebody can. I'm coming to everybody. So if, you know, you're in a third congressional district, if you're in a fifth congressional district, if you're unsure, still jump in my DMs, I will look it up. I will look up your zip code and your address, and we will come to you. We are working all the way through the weekend, probably to the ninth. They have to be done in, hand in by the 10th. I would like to be done by the 8th or the 9th of this month. So where do you go? Where do people find you on social media? So find me at Alante McCauley, A-L-L-A-N-T-E-M-C-A-U-L-E-Y. That's on X. That's on Facebook. That's on Instagram. And your show, the podcast. Are you back doing it? Are you still? Yeah, me and my co-host Selma, we're talking about doing some things. So I'm waiting to have some meetings soon. We have a lot of people, what you're scared to say podcast with the letter you. So look out for that on YouTube. Catch up on the old episodes until we get rolling again. Well, John, I hope next week when you come to City Council, you say you're running.

for both the state committee and also Philadelphia GOP chairman. And when does the vote go for the Philadelphia GOP chairman come on? That is going to be a dorm organization that is after the primary. So that would be probably maybe in June, I believe. But, you know, what's at a public event? I want to come. I have to get in the room myself. They're going to try to play games with the dates in the time. So I got to make sure I get in the door. All right. Maybe I get a pass. I got to cover that. Well, congratulations again. And next week, hopefully, we have all the signatures. When does it get validated? You know, you're on the ballot. When does that happen? They have the dates up. I have to go look up here. But I will make it this and I will post. I will let you guys know it's official that I'm on the ballet and we're going to celebrate. It's my first time ever on a ballot. Absolutely. Well, you and Frank Scales together. It's a bright new day in Philadelphia. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Alante. Thanks very much. Thanks for joining us. And again, give it one more time, the spelling where people go in social media. At Alante McGaulay, A-L-A-L-A-N-T-E-M-C-A-U-L-E-Y, and that's across all platforms. And if it's a female Uber driver, what's their advice when they pick you up? Listen, Christ is king. I'm going to keep it. You know, I like women that rock mega hat. Okay. Oh, all right. So if you're looking out there, there you go. There's a tip of the day. Follow him on Twitter. Quite a story. All right. Give us your reaction, 855-839, 1210. You're with Dom Henry and Kirk on Talk Radio 1210. Tom Chiodato on Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. All right, big one o'clock hour. We got David Petraeus, General Petraeus. The Greeks out there unite. Yeah, I remember that old river boat captain, 6thus Petraeus, him sitting there at Fort Pace, Henry. It's right off in Washington. I'm into the fourth cup of coffee. I never drink coffee, as you know. I don't care. I've, you know, by the fifth or six, when he had to go and talk, I don't know where I am again driving on. So I've gone from throwing up sort of a three-mile run to sitting there drinking coffee, which I don't drink. Yeah, you should have the coffee before the room. I didn't ask to use the bathroom. I didn't ask of anything. I didn't move. And that's when his wife started talking about the testimony was going on. He had to testify General Betrayas. She was okay with Hillary. She's smart. She's asking reasonable questions. She went after Obama to me. It's pretty good stuff. And I just sit there sipping. Okay. He's coming up. A lot to say about Iran and where we are. But you're seeing this contingent of Megyn Kelly's and others doubling, tripling down, trying to make this, it's all about Israel. And now with the Kurds poised to come in, that's a little bit. You know, the Kurds for years have been held back. You know, they're in the, what, the northwestern part of the area coming across into Iran. They're armed. They have grievance. But are they really the leadership that's going to take over the country? That's always the difficult part of this.

trying to do things, he passed some kind of big gulp thing where you can only do this, you couldn't do that, and the machine had to be different in New York, stuff like that. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s not saying that. He's not going down that path. Why would there be this resistance? Well, they resist them on the vaccine stuff, so they're going to resist on this, and they're resisting, and the smarter ones. Because this is part of the Trump coalition that is very underrated. They're principally women, the Maha movement. And a lot of these people are kind of apolitical. But they're going to move on this stuff. And they see him as the champion and he is on this. So this is powerful stuff. He will have the biggest legacy other than President Trump. And in some ways, even bigger. Because the stuff that he's doing. will actually influence future generations. I just get, yeah, I'm going to tell you when I differ with them, some of the vaccine stuff. The Taiwan on autism, I think, was kind of thrown together. But on the food stuff, the dies, this challenge now to Duncan, who in the world could be, well, Democrats, simply because it's an inverse. They're now the party, at least on paper, that has to oppose this because of Trump and because they see this coalition forming. And look, we had on at least one guest. I wouldn't have everyone again. I mean, it's just, they're overkill. The stuff they wanted to do, the farmers, I don't support that. We're not going to do that. But when he was on, it was much better. And it wasn't crushing businesses. etc. Except with some of the more extreme stuff with the dyes, et cetera, that are out there. And these are questions people have asked forever. Why is it we have these obesity? People were eating meatloaves every day back in the day. What are some of the elements that change? Why so many fat kids? Why so much chronic disease? But this governor, she made it like it was the Alamo on Twitter. Bring it on. And he's not calling for restrictions on Dunkin' Donuts as much as letting the public know 115 grams. Henry, what's the number? I'll give you my number, be it cereal or whatever. If I can, unless I just indulge because I'm hungry, I can't do anything else. If it's more than eight grams of sugar that I see in there, seven, eight grams, that's it. After that, that's it. I'm out. Like for a dessert specifically? Or like what? Well, you know, just like cereal. Uh, honestly, I don't pay attention to that. Yogurt. Yogurt. You don't. Okay. I think my mistake. Yeah, you're asking the wrong guy. Yeah, yeah, I mean. But I don't eat too many sugary things unless it's an actual like dessert. Okay. But so many things are loaded with added, the added stuff. Yeah. See, I do look at that. Like the added sugar is like ridiculous. Like I buy peanut butter without the added sugar. Okay. Things like that. Yeah. Small stuff like that. It's an epidemic. You can't get away from it. So when you can, you've got to cut down. How can you be drinking 115 grams of sugar? What Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s talking about with a dunk in every morning.

And then what do you do the rest of the day? You're already wildly over the daily requirement, right? It's like drinking a big gulp right there at 6 o'clock in the morning or something. Okay. There's caffeine in it this time. Yeah, exactly. All right, let's go to some callers. So we're looking at the patriotic scene, some all-time patriotic scene. David Petraeus, big day for me. This guy had it all. We know the story. We know what happened to him, but he is the expert go-to on things happening in the Middle East, the success that he had, the thoughtfulness, the command that he had. You know he was shot, it was a live training drill when he was just a general, not the four-star. And somebody made a mistake in a round one off and hit him in the chest. He tried to get back out there that afternoon. They wouldn't let him, but he got back into the field the next day. When you're staring across talking to this guy or when you're running with him, you're like, oh, man, why did I do this? Let's go to Charlie. Charlie's in Orleans. He's on Talk Radio 12-10. Hey, Charlie. Hi, I have a side and a little comment. Yeah, yesterday you were talking about that. Give me your comment. Go ahead. You were talking about Paul Greenberg yesterday with the Little League. Yes. Oh, yes. Yeah. Well, last night they had the meeting and Paul pulled his name out from being a coach. So he's not going to be a coach? No. Okay. Paul may not be a warm and fuzzy guy, but he has done a lot for the little leaf. Well, I hear you. All the hours he put in. Oh, yeah, I hear you, Charlie, but a plane flying over the Little League game with this, that's, wow, you know. Well, those two have had history, but nobody's ever proven that he's the one who did it. Okay. All right. You know. Look, I believe in second chances, but he's got to be a penance, I guess, here. You know what I mean? After all this stuff. And he also runs a little bit of a township basketball program. Okay. It does quite a bit. Okay. So he's not as bad as everybody. He's making up to be. All right. Gotcha. Glad you said that. What's your side, Charlie? uh a rocky four when he knocks out the soviet boxer drago and he wraps himself with an american flag and all the soviet fans start cheering for him that is very patriotic is there a line in that film i have one that i really like but i'll ask you at first I know we say something about, you know, we're all Americans and Russians together. No, when he says, well, somebody says, Drago bleeds. Always remember that when you're competing against somebody, look at that over there. Henry looks tired. We're going to take Henry down.

Drago bleats. Yeah, he's bleeding, right? Thank you. Yeah, when the blood's there with Drago, uh-oh, this perfect machine. See, if it's rocky and he's bleeding, that's normal. I like the line, I will break you. Yeah, I will. Does he say I will break you or I must break? He says, I must break you, doesn't he? I think it's must. It's even worse. He may say both. I thought he says to him, I must break you. I must break you. I must break you. Okay. That's cool. That's good. Yeah. But I love the Drago bleeding. It's like, oh, Drago can't bleed. Let's take Alan in Hamilton. Patriotism. Alan, what's yours? The outsider, which is the story of Ira Hayes, the hero, Iwo Jima. The scene takes place in Soldiersfield, Chicago, where up to then he felt like a hypocrite going on this tour. While his experience of Iwo Jima, he saw his friends getting killed there. Here in Chicago, he, first time, he mates up with the mothers of the men who died, and one of them turns out to be his best friend. And she takes him in his arms. It's very touching. Thank you, Alan. Yeah, I think it was a little bit too much revisionist history. We know it wasn't exactly the flag on Eva Gima, the whole thing. But it was a magical moment that rallied America. I mean, imagine, given some of the difficulties that happened, the way CNN, New York Times would report it, the way they're reporting the Iranian war, just waiting to pounce. I mean, storming Normandy was touch and go, a lot of casualties. Some of the invasions of the Japanese islands were brutal in the cost. Given the media coverage today, things would have been really difficult. All right, coming up. General David Petraeus, former head of the CIA also. His thoughts, how's it going? What happens next? And what would look like it was worth it here in what's going on in Iran? Straight ahead with Dom on Talk Radio 1210. Tom Chiodato on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, it is Dom time. Big issues, big guest. YouTube alert, YouTube.com slash 1210 WPHT. In a moment, you'll be able to see and here. Certainly one of my all-time favorites, the closest I've been to someone that just is among the most capable individuals that I trust and knowledgeable when it comes to what's going on in the Middle East. We're honored in Philadelphia to speak again with General David Petraeus, and the general now is also a former director of the CIA, of course, and partner and chairman of the...

KKR Global Institute and KKR Middle East. General Petraeus, welcome back. It's been quite a while. Thank you. So, General, since we last talk, I don't know how many years ago it is, what is your day job? What are you doing right now with your institute? Well, I'm a partner in KKR. That's one of the world's largest investment firms. I've been with KKR for about 13 years. During that time, it's grown. So. Management, nearly $750 billion under management. I chair the KKR Global Institute, which does the geopolitical risk for our investments, helps our companies when they run into problems, spend a lot of time with clients, investors, would-be investors, work on the investment themes, de-risk. You see something coming, such as, for example, the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2004, I'm sorry, yeah, 2022, excuse me, and we did a derisking drill in 2021 for our exposure to Ukraine and also Russia. So we do an awful lot of that. So, General, I've seen, I'm sorry. Reflects the fact that we want to invest in the Middle East, not just invest their money for them. So, General, I've seen you quite a bit in the media the last week or so since the operation in the Middle East. You've said it's going pretty well, but hearing directly from you means a lot. How do you see this working so far? Well, I think the military operation is indeed going very, very well. It's an incredibly complex, complicated, sophisticated operation. and the various targets that we are working our way through, I think we're making very considerable progress. Keep in mind that I think the timing of this had a lot to do with an expectation that the Israelis were going to attack anyway within a month or two to that has been reconstituted by Iran and of such concern to them, given, again, that they were on the receiving end of so many missiles in the 12-day war. We also were frustrated on our part. The administration will... and the nuclear negotiations. And then I think there was some pretty exquisite intelligence, as we say, pattern of life in the business where there was an opportunity to take out very senior leaders, including, of course, the Supreme Leader, but also their Minister of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs equivalent, head of the Revolutionary Guards Corps, and a number of others.

So the operation was conducted in daylight as opposed to the early morning hours, probably because the Supreme Leader thought that we only attack in the early morning hours, and so he could come out and meet with some of his colleagues, and that obviously proved to be a pretty bad miscalculation, and really in some ways almost stunning arrogance. But then we have gradually worked our way through. Most important up front was to ensure that all of the air and ballistic missile defenses have been reduced. Really, Israel took care of that. The Russian system that was on the ground in Iran with the F-35s we provided to them, and that meant that they were able to conduct the whole 12-day air campaign without losing an aircraft, which is really quite an accomplishment. So that was done. That means then that we can also begin to bring in not just our stealth aircraft, not just the F-35, the B-2 bomb. This huge ordinance that they can drop, but also the B-52 bombers, the B-1 bombers, they're all in the mix now. And they can carry very, very, very heavy payloads, and that makes a huge difference. And then we've been working through the retaliatory capabilities, focusing on the missile launchers in particular, the missile stockpiles. Some of those are underground. They'll have to be burrowed down with a mass ordinance penetrator, perhaps. pile driving its way down, this 30,000 pound precision munition that only we have and only we have a plane that can carry it. There is a focus on the drones as well, and by the way, the manufacturing facilities for missiles and also for drones so that they can't reconstitute these programs quickly. Obviously, there's continuing to be a focus on regime leaders and then gradually forces themselves, the headquarters, the major bases, their logistical depots, command and control capabilities, even the television, national state on television and so forth. So working their way through that, the Navy. Ensure that. There is freedom of navigation through the Gulf that the oil shipping companies, in particular and LNG companies, feel safe enough to transit the Strait of Hermuz, noting that there have been three ships that appear to have been attacked there by the Iranians. So you're taking down that capability and capacity, and as a president's state. the U.S. will escort ships through the Gulf, as we did back in the tanker wars in the mid-1980s. But we got to make sure the mine layers can't get out there on the rest of this. Of course, you saw that one of our submarines shot the first torpedo in Anger, since it was actually the Iranian flagship, which happened to be off the coast of India.

There's an effort to go after any residual elements of the nuclear program and the International Atomic Energy Agency announced just before this all started. There may be a stockpile of 60% enriched uranium, which is very worrisome. of the Esfahan nuclear site. And if that's the case, again, trust me, that they'll go and burrow down into that and ensure that that is never accessible. Again, and so that's the main targets here. Also, of course, going after any proxies that cause problems. So we've struck back at the... who have carried out a handful of attacks against where we are located. Also, in some cases, it appears where we used to be located because we just drew down our forces in Iraq and also in northeastern Syria. Israel has been fighting back at Hezbollah in very substantial numbers, very unwise for Hezbollah, the major Iranian proxy prior to all of this fighting in southern Lebanon and such a problem for Israel over the years. In fact, Quickly, Israel's national security orientation has completely changed. They will never, again, after 10-7, the horrific events of that day, materialize at all, not just on their borders in the case of Hezbollah or Samos or others, but in the region. And so they were going to go after that missile stockpile, regardless. I was in Tel Aviv four weeks or so ago and got that sense very, very clearly. Then, of course, it's just about more and more damage to the regime forces, noting that these are very substantial. If you add them all up, it's somewhere around a million men under arms, and they're willing to use those arms, as we saw, killing tens of thousands of their own citizens, putting down the peaceful demonstrations, and then imprisoning tens of thousands more. So here... That's the regime protection force, essentially another Army, Navy Air Force, about 150,000. The national police, about 250,000, the besieged militia, before they call up reserves, are already at 200,000. These are the pipe swingers. They're willing to shoot at the people. And they have a national... provincial district and municipal headquarters in every single one of those throughout the company, country. And then there's a minister of intelligence. They alone have another 25,000. So again, you do the math. This is a very substantial force. It's commanding control. lately been disrupted, leaders killed, headquarters destroyed, communications taken out and all the rest. But still, this is a force that we think is probably going to remain loyal to the regime, although everyone is watching to see if the...

some of the conventional military, which I should have mentioned as well. That's 400,000. So anyway, that's, again, another focus. And then, of course, everyone is riveted on who will the next Supreme Leader be? Will he be another hardcore clerical ideologue? Or will he perhaps be a bit more? and recognize that the effort to enrich uranium, to support murderous proxies throughout the region, to kill thousands of Americans, Arabs, and Israelis over decades, that that has achieved them poverty at home and isolation abroad. In fact, someone calculated the other day an economist that the real... By 99% since the revolution of 1979 swept aside the Shah. Perhaps someone might actually wake up and say, you know what, what has this gotten us? And not to mention, just the hatred of a large number of their own citizens. So that's really critical. And then can there be an opposition force? There's reports that the CIA might be arming and helping enabling. some form of the Iranian Kurds. There are a number of different minority groups of Iranian Kurds. We know the Kurds well from Iraq and northeast. There are Azeris, there are Turkmen, there are Sunnis, and some others. And then could there be a splintering, again, of the regular military that could actually challenge the regime and bring about what we'd all like to see, but which is not going to be brought about by us? I think the president has been very clear. He's clarified that it's not his expectation the U.S. military is going to create regime change. It's his expectation the U.S. military can create conditions. in which that might be possible and obviously that's going to be something on which we'll focus and there is a report that today the president said that he'll provide the u.s will provide air support or some kind of assistance to opposition forces and we'll see how that manifests itself in the days at last General, again, looking at the military campaign, it's extraordinarily impressive to see what our men and women in uniform and our Israeli partners and others now that are starting to be more active in this as well as Iran has unwisely attacked the Gulf states, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and others, bringing them again into the war, but not to pressure the Americans to stop it as they hoped, but rather by... being more open to participating in ways that they haven't so far. General, thank you so much. It's always an honor when we have you here in Philadelphia, and I hope as this continues, we can get you back for a bit.

I hope so too. And actually, I do have, I think, another 10 minutes with you. So no need to prematurely drop here. Oh, okay. Well, let me ask you a little bit, General, about the Kurds then as a force here. And you talked about how dicey this is. You believe, right, as I can ferret out here, the president is not going to be nation building. It's very clear. And this is important for support. But we are looking for somebody who, I guess, can be like what we see in Venezuela, even though they're completely different countries. We have an authoritarian VP there, but they're friendly to the U.S. government. Yes. Yeah, no, I think the president would be very open. to a pragmatic leader taking over as a supreme leader who reaches out and says, you know what? You're right. We don't need a nuclear program. What has that done to us? We don't need these murderous proxies in the region. What has that done to us? And on and on. We don't need to build a missile stock that Israel is going to attack every four to six months if they see it. being reconstituted to a threatening level. No, I mean, I think that there would be an absolute willingness to deal with a leader who would be willing to do that. The question is, will there be a pragmatist or will there be another hardline ideologue? You know, Kareem Sajapur, one of the great Iranian observers here in the United States, said that it used to be that the regime was 80% true believers and 20% charlatans. The charlatans are the kind of people that are the chameleons. They'll work with whoever it is that's empowered just to get what they can get from doing that, but they don't really believe in it. He said now the estimate is that it's flipped. It's now 80% charlatans and 20% true believers. Could there be one of these pragmatic figures who comes up? Probably unlikely. Again, the Assembly of Experts, which tried to meet the other day, sort of their version of a conclave to select the new Supreme Leader got bombed, so they're having to reconvene at some more secure location. But it's hard to believe that that body, which is generally a hardline ideological group, includes substantial clerics, that they're going to pick someone who would be pragmatic. but not impossible. There's also the possibility, again, of some force within the regime, the Revolutionary Guard Corps leadership in particular, saying, hey, you guys have botched this. We don't need a clerical regime anymore. We're going to step forward and do it. Would they be more pragmatic? Again, very difficult to predict. Not impossible, but probably not the base case right now. So then you're asking, where is the opposition? How much can they do?

Really hard to say, frankly. Again, I don't know the numbers of Iranian Kurds that are volunteering to be part of this force. The Kurds do have a long history of very martial tendencies and capabilities that Peshmerga, the Kurdish fighters in Iraq, for example, are revered for that. But whether they could really take on a regime of the size that Iran still will have after all of the damage and destruction, that's probably a pretty tall order. You know, we saw this certainly in Afghanistan where the Northern Alliance, we enabled them essentially to overthrow the Taliban. It was essentially them on, sometimes on horseback or in. various makeshift armored vehicles and so forth that forced the Taliban to mass against them, which we then clobbered again with our B-52s and other bombers. I don't see the analogy here, given the size of the regime force, the capabilities, the weapon systems, and all the rest of that. You know, keep in mind that Iran... could be just a spectacular country as the number two natural gas reserves in the entire world, the number three oil reserves in the entire world, an educated population. It's a large population, 92 million or so. So it's a big market, if it would ever to truly perform the way it could. The potential here is extraordinary. It should be one of the Gulf states on steroids. And instead, it's a pariah state, which is seen. colossal damage and destruction as a result of its murderous ways over a number of decades. General, thank you again so much here. We have other breaking news, but I do hope that we get to talk again. And out of all the years I've done talk radio, running with you, meeting you, your family up close, I've told that story more than many, many times. I just... It's a throw of a lifetime to have done that and to see you in action. The pleasure was mine, especially when we were running. Well, wait a minute, that's because I may have fibbed and said I could run an eight-and-a-half-minute mile for three or four miles. Will you confirm from my producer? You did have two females there carrying exotic weapons, and one or two might have been a road scour. That happened. Very possible. I always had Rhodes Scholars and my speechwriters and others, but I guarantee you that they could carry whatever knapsack was required for communications. Of course, I had the whole security team there, many of whom were sort of recruited because they could keep up with their boss. But it was a pleasure to have you that day. General, thank you. Thanks so much, General. Take care. All right, General David Petraeus. That was pretty, you can see when he gets going, Henry. Thank you for working with the connection. I don't know where he is. He's in Dubai or something like that, but I'm great at work. It looked like his house. Okay. I don't know why he's a communications guy. I wanted to get that on the record there. Kristi Noem has been fired as we predicted with President Trump. And I think Trump gave everything that he could. Yesterday was a little bit too much. The replacement, Senator Markwayne Mullin. I would not have replaced with him.

I would replace with Tom Homan. Let's talk about that too next year on Talk Radio 1210. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, Domjeerdano's show. Welcome in. So a couple of breaking things. As I said, the president has relieved Kristi Noem. I don't know to what. But Markwayne Mullin from Oklahoma will now take over Homeland Security. Again, I know the idea Tom Homan does what he does. And I went Tom Homan in charge. Markwayne Mullin has a good record overall. I could see why Trump would see him someone that has a background that could lead in this. But this was a move that was a long time coming. And yesterday, probably the testimony. Kristi Noem couldn't say anything under oath about being involved with Corey Lewandowski. Messy beyond belief, her husband is there behind her, you know, ridiculous stuff. And I think there was ridiculous stuff that she did in running this organization. So Trump waited until there wasn't as much heat maybe with Kristi Noem and then did what he was going to do all along. replace her with somebody that hopefully is going to give us what we saw at home and produced in Minnesota. Kristi Noem is moving to the position of Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas, which is their new security initiative in the Western Hemisphere they're announcing on Saturday. Oh, my God. Okay. All right. I'm sure they'll make this into a big deal. But this takes away one of the chips that Democrats would have had here. Now, we'll see, I'm sure they'll start the attack on Mowen here momentarily. Bernie Sanders and here are sparring partners. We'll get into that coming up. But this is a good move. And also, the Montgomery County commasar strike again, a new resolution gone after ice. I'll tell you what they're doing in Montgomery County. These Philadelphia suburbs are amazing. It's amazing, I say this almost every day. How far we've gone from vaguely Republican, good government suburbs over the last 20 years to now when they are as radical or more radical in some ways than Philadelphia. We'll tell you what they've just announced. That's coming up to big two o'clock hour talk radio 1210. Let's talk Dr. Bents for a moment. You know, one thing I really appreciate about Dr. Bence. is he doesn't offer just one solution. Ben's Dental Group has not one, but two, board-certified prostodontas with Dr. Benz and Dr. Emily Benz's daughter. Now, that means great care. I know Dr. Emily has also worked on me recently. And what you get now are more options. That's a big thing with Dr. Bentz. Options for the patient. Time options, meaning two prostodontas there for your schedule. So I have also completed a dental implant with Dr. Bentz, and the experience was tremendous. It's the first time I've ever done anything like that. It was very patient intensive as far as the choices you had, all kinds of decisions that you could make using advanced imaging and technology paired with years of hands-on experience. You'll see the difference. I mean, Dr.

is in demand for difficult cases. He lectures a lot, people, the techniques that he lives dentistry. So if you want a great dentist, you want now two prostodontas, as I've said here, to take care of you. Call 610272-6949. He's been my dentist for about 11 years. Schedule that initial appointment, get that evaluation. You'll see the Benz difference. You can see his work, too, and what they offer at bent's dental group.com. B-E-N-T-Z Dental Group. 610-272-6-9-49. Benz Dental Group. Say it with a smile. Tom Giudano, weekdays, noon till 3, from Talk Radio 1210, W-P-HD. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, W-P-H-D. All right, it is Dom Time, General David Petraeus, and sorry we had a little, now it was better at the end. He cut out a little bit here and there, so it was hard to interrupt, and I told you he is encyclopedic, to put it mildly. Oh, my goodness. Imagine running with this guy who's in tremendous shape, eight-minute miles, and he's talking to you right? If he's talking to you like that while running miles, that is incredible. Right, and I am thinking. All right. Hail Mary, how many more miles? How many feet is that? What the heck's happening to me? Please, God. How many, how many hellmeries do you have through an interview? Oh, yeah. And you heard, I don't remember the knapsack. I think he did have one with the knapsack for communications. Remember, he was a commander-in-chief globally. We're running in the woods to stop sniper fire. Oh, man, I wish I had that on tape for social media. And I did not have jeans on. I remember it clearly. There was no gene running on that one. If I had it to do over again, I would have worn jeans, bulletproof ones that I have. All right. 855, 839, 12, 10. You get in right now. Got the side question going. Big news, though. Kristi Noem out. And I'll give you the details of the smug commissars over in Montgomery County. What is happening? Well, Guy Sharaki. Just texted me and he says, well, they really weren't moderates, these people there. But the voters seemingly were. Have they lost their mind? They're actually saying over in Montgomery County, we're going to put these big signs up. And Megan Alt, a spokesperson for Montgomery County, said the hope is that ICE will comply with county law. But if not, the county's prepared to handle violations. as they would for other instances of trespassing. Yeah, Megan, let's see you enforce that. Tom DeBello says, what's going to happen next is their doxing going to occur? Are there going to be protests outside to businesses? The Mr. Softie truck guy who goes to prisons, Neil Matachramatcha. said the new resolution had nothing to do with immigration policy, but rather about limiting cooperation with an agency that uses extreme tactics. So in other words, they're not going to let them stage on anything that could be remotely seen as county property.

Now, this is going to complicate what ICE is doing, and they will not allow them even to process. Now, Democrats, progressives, you and the suburbs, are always talking about processing and deportation and all that and rights. They won't be able to do any of that there is what this is about. The bigger, broader story, though, again, and I know Guy tries in this, I try on this to ferret it out. The people that are in charge, that's one thing, they're radicals. The Mr. Softie guy, his mini-me stooge there, the woman in Monco. The whole crew in Delco, they are progressive failures up and down the line. Chester County, they seem to be more incompetent, but they're pretty liberal, too. That leaves us with Bucks County, where they're in charge there. Now, I wouldn't say that Diane and Bob Harv, Hardegroast Harvey, are necessarily full-bore progressives. They're liberals, and they are arrogant beyond belief, and they have a Republican stooge in Gino DiGeralamo that sits there and does nothing on this. I don't think there are any Republicans out there in Delaware County. that are on any of this. And Tom DeBello tries his best over Montgomery County. Please one vote. So in the middle of this, that's where they've gone. Kristi Noem is speaking now about all this. Look, when we heard the bio, I don't know if she really was up to be a vice presidential candidate at one point, a little bit unclear. I thought she handled herself tremendously well when I followed because I was interviewing her a couple times in the spin room when we had that presidential debate here in Philadelphia. But the killing of the dog is something that was, and she puts it in the bio, it was never going to sit well with the average. Let's face it, you can call that irrational. It's not going to sit well. And her antics. with threatening firing of people, a blanket left on the plane, stuff like Corey Lewandowski being involved in all this. And Trump finally had it because Trump wants competency and she was not competent. I can't figure out why Markwayne Mullin other than he's a type of guy that's rough and tumble, probably attracted to Trump. We plagued you some of his back and forth with the union guy and with Bernie Sanders. And I guess they're feeling is Tom Homan is the point person. I just would like to know that Holman has almost carte Todd Blanche because he's brilliant at what he does in this. He's the guy. We've seen it. And I've said with the midterms that clearly there's still a majority of Americans voted in 2024. for mass deportation of people that are here illegally. Tom Homan puts it all the time. We go after first. Those would rape, violence, etc. But you are on the table if you're here illegally. That is not changed. But when you have Bovino and you have Kristi Noem running amuck in Minnesota, that's...

immigration took a hit. I think it's coming back. I think it will come back. And with the firing of Kristi Noem, I think Trump senses that this is still a big card to play going into the midterms. It would not have been if she and guys like Bovino were still in charge, then Tom Homan would just be in there cleaning up messes. So you're wondering, are these polls that, yeah, I think people didn't like the messiness of this, didn't like the difficulties associated with it. If you remember, home and simple things, no, we're not going to be standing out there in crowds. We're going to do the operation and get out of here. That's smart. That's what he brings to it. Kristi Noem had a lot of outfits that you wore showing up to do stuff and all that, and it wore thin. So 855, 839, 12, 10. That's how you get on board. Why now? I'm not sure. Maybe Trump thinking we're in the middle of the war. People are more thinking about that. I can do this. And it will be a blip on the screen because of all that's going on with Iran. I'd love to get you in on that. And again, the age-old question, how did these suburbs? You know, there are people like Henry's age. Every have no sense of this, I don't think. that Montgomery County used to be the most Republican. I didn't say conservative Nestle but Republican Party, educated and affluent in the entire 67 counties. But through the Matthews debacle and a few other things and people fleeing Philadelphia to go to Montgomery County and bringing the same sensibilities with them, it has become. Progressive, the leadership, the stuff that they do. That's the way it is. And you definitely don't have knowledge, I don't think, because this is a while ago. An outfit called the War Board ran Delaware County for like 100 years. Delaware County was every bit as Republican, as Philadelphia's Democrat, or more. You were not in office unless you were stone called Republican. Now they're progressive, raising taxes every year, 23%. You were in Chester County, right? You grew up mainly? Yeah. Chester County has always been like an afterthought. And I still think they're not as radicalized. They're just incompetent in the stuff they do. Bucks County, lower Bucks County is radicalized. It's upper Bucks County that makes it an even playing field. You know, that's the way that it is. But the story of our area. You know Philadelphia. You know how radicalized that has been. Shereau Parker, I would make this, sorry, she's a liberal, of course. Guy Sharaki writing recently talks about a common sense coalition. She kind of heads. I would say she would be out of step in the suburban councils. She wouldn't be progressive enough. That takes something when the mayor of Philadelphia would probably not be as progressive as in Delco. And Monko. I don't think she would go. She hasn't gone along with all this ice stuff. All right. So 855, 839, 12, 10. You get a line. We'll have to play, Henry, Markwayne Mullin, that showdown he had with the union guy. I like the union guy, too, saying, oh, yeah, I'm taking off my ring, too. They're going to brawl right there with Bernie Sanders. Yeah, it's an old timer. That's an all timer.

Why Trump has seized on him to lead the Department of Homeland Security? I'm not sure because temperamentally, I get the rough and tumble part. I'm not sure about this guy overall. I would have preferred homin. But it's a safe seat. I think they'll have a Republican in there. And I think that's where it's going to go. So not a shocker in some way. Apparently, Trump didn't sign off on Kristi Noem's ad campaign in which she was the star and a lot of money was spent. And she jowsted with Senator Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from Louisiana. That wasn't good yesterday. So I guess it crystallized why this guy, though, is a little bit puzzling. Not bad. And this issue is critical to the midterms. You can't go into the midterms with this star issue from 2024 being underwater. I don't think it is now. I think it's back to, you know, close to what it was, but that needs to be something people want. And you know the other side is not going to do that. All right, let me go to the call. We have Dom's Money Melody here in a moment. Earl of Takoni is on Talk Radio 12. Tang. Good afternoon, Earl. Hey afternoon, Dom. Yeah, I've learned not to question Trump's appointments. Granted, he's not batting a thousand on them. He has made some big mistakes in the past. But he's usually up to something. I mean, this whole thing with Iran, when you look at it from the outside, you've got to realize Iran is the keystone. Iran, now he can go and he can rebuild Gaza without Iranian interference. He can go and he can try and end the Ukraine war. without having Iran supplying drones and weapons to Russia. I mean, Trump is a big picture guy. And the thing is the reason they don't like Trump is because Trump sees something broken and he tries to fix it with something that works. All true. But wait a minute. This is a bad pick with Noam. I don't think Kash Patel is a good pick, do you? Oh, no. No, I don't. I said he's not batting a thousand. Well, wait, wait a minute. These are major picks here. I would say this. One of his strong suits is he reworks what is broken here pretty effectively. And I don't know about this choice. Markwayne Mullin, I don't have anything in opposition to him. But I think going in, he'll be better received his style, et cetera, than Cristino. Sure. But the big problem that we had with government is when government goes and tries to fix something, they take something broken and they replace it with something that's less broken. And, you know, Trump is audacious. And, you know, that's the problem of Trump's financials where he tries to do something big. Sometimes it's successful. But sometimes if you try to do something too big, sometimes you set yourself up to fail because it's just too big to actually do on your own. All right. What's your side, Earl? My side today is from the movie Red Dawn, the original 84 version. I mean, the whole thing was a jingoistic, pro-American, anti-Russian movie to begin with. So there's a lot to work with. But I think the most...

a patriotic scene from it is the partisans keep attacking the Russians, and the Russians are tired of it, so they try to make an example of the people in the town. So they grab about 30 men, line them up out in the middle of the field, they're playing Russian music, and as they're standing there, ready to execute them with all these witnesses, one man goes and starts singing, oh, beautiful for spacious skies. You start singing America the Beautiful, not the Star-Spangled Banner, but America the Beautiful, not anything related to the flag or anything to the nation. But to just, you know, America and the American people, right before they shoot everybody down, they're all singing America the Beautiful. Thank you, Earl. Thanks very much. I thought they were Chinese. Am I wrong about that? Red Dawn Henry, rather than Russians. There were Russians? Yeah. Why I'm thinking the Chinese? I guess they're both red. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, okay. 855, 839, 12, 10. So we'll get up to speed. This is a critical thing with Markwayne Mullin here. versus Kristi Noem, I think it's an improvement, but it's an interesting choice that I'm not exactly sure of total reason connected to it. This issue going into the midterms critical. 855-839-12. 10, right now, though, it is time for... It's Dobbs Money Melody. ...a-MoneyCon. All right, we are playing for a $50 gift card to the Metro Diner. Easter is early this year.

So, side question, they were asked for the all-time patriotic scene from a movie. So I'm going to play you some music from a patriotic movie. And I want to know the name of the movie. So in this movie, you know, everyone loves a good, you know, Russia versus USA. Usually it's more about spies rather, or maybe even submarines. But this one is a little bit different. It's a movie about a hostage situation. where one man decides to kind of go out in his own and dismember the Russian outfit that's attacking the people close to him. And, you know, he has an iconic line at the end of the movie to finish it off. So I want to know the name of this movie that I'm going to play you an iconic part of the movie soundtrack here. I want to know the name of the movie in which the U.S. triumphs over Russia and has a very patriotic scene towards the end of the movie. Let's take a listen. Very intense. Very intense. And this is actually scored by the same person who did the Hoosiers soundtrack. Ah. Does Jimmy shoot in this one? Someone shoots. That was a great thing put in. Here the coach is spectacular. He really knows these kids, et cetera. And then he's not going to let Jimmy shoot in Hoosiers.

I'm saying we're going to shove it down your throat. Jimmy's going to shoot. We're going to run over the other team and tell him, and it doesn't matter. Yeah. I'll put it in. Want the name of this movie, Dom. All right. The name of the movie now, hit us with that, and you got a $50-dollar gift card to the great metro diner. Metrodiner.com. 855-839, 1210. Tom Chiridano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. It's the money melody. Where has all the money gone? Show me to my... All right, here's today's clue. We're looking for the name of this film. One very patriotic man takes down the Russians one by one. All right. It's Anthony in Holland on Talk Radio 12. 10. Hi, Anthony. What's your answer? Hello, Dom. Is it Air Force One? Woo. All right. There you go. Gary Oldman, great characterization in that tremendous. Yeah. Um, who, yeah, they, the upswell music too. Absolutely. Yeah. And this is obviously, uh, the music from get off my plane. Yeah. And the guy that played the, uh, fanatic, uh, Russian, I guess, uh, was excellent in his role. And the vodka drinking premiere was great, particularly when they celebrated. It was stopped. My God. Wonderfully done. Yep. The Weasel, American Secret Service, was also a good character actor in this. All right. 855, 839, 12, 10, you can get in. So, Cristino Mout, replaced with Senator Markwayne Mullin. That going on here on Talk Radio 1210. Long time coming yesterday's testimony. And how important it is to be able to duke it out on this issue, it should be incredibly effective. for the midterms, but it wasn't given the distraction of both Bovino and then he was moved on and Cristino. And does this indicate now maybe to let Tom Homan, just let him run that. You do the rest of Homeland Security. All right, I mentioned this at the top. It is almost hard to believe. Pope Leo, implored clergy. from the diocese of Rome and really across the Roman Catholic world now to reject a new kind of temptation during a closed door of meeting in February according to futurism. The Holy Father is concerned that too many priests are using the homily generated through AI. And I see in this commentary a word here which is Deskilling. In other words, reference to a documented side effect of AI usage, which is to take away the function of people. You know, so how about a homily this week from AI, you know, rather than a human being? And the still that the mistakes that are made. I just don't get it. Now, I know in the war effort, they're talking about using AI.

I am just so not trusting AI driverless cars or any of this stuff. And here the Holy Father has to tell the priest knock it off with so much AI stuff. I mean, we've seen some of the errors at AI command. It doesn't know. It's just going robotically. That's what it is, a machine. Can't go, wait a minute. That doesn't sound right. The Pope John the 23rd really say this? No, he didn't. I wonder if people were picking up on some of these sermons. Wait a minute. I saw that on AI. What the heck's going on here? And do they, you know, do they have to, do they read it out? Yeah, they read enough note cards here or something? Like I found homily is always from like the heart. Right. You have a theme and then you branch it out and you do that sort of thing. Yeah. Just like here's, here's this gospel. Give me a, you know, give me a homily. Yeah, the gospel of AI. Yeah. It's the Pope. I got one more thing here, too. I'm coming to the callers. A statue of Cesar Rodney that was taken out of the town square in Joe Biden's Delaware at the height of George Floyd. Now, he did have slaves. He was one of, according to this material, 41 of the 56 decoration signers who enslaved people. But he was a giant. and toward the end of his life, he also moved against slavery. At his death, his slaves were freed. And historians say this is not the only thing about Caesar Rodney. As I mentioned in Delaware, 41 out of the 56, I guess the biggest would be Thomas Jefferson and Washington. Jefferson may be even more prominently. Should we take away all their stuff? Well, they did it to this guy because he's a more minor figure. And he's the guy that rode 87 miles using two horses to get to the signing and a critical vote. And he had facial cancer. I'm not sure if he was dying. I know he was plagued with. I mean, this is a guy with cancer 87 miles. We'd be there and, you know. Well, an hour and a half, I'll say on air, maybe under that. And this guy took two horses riding himself to get there in time for all this to go through while stricken with facial cancer. And you want to take down his statue? Yeah, they did, and it's in a warehouse. And now the Trump administration is putting that statue in a place of honor. in whatever they call that in celebration of America's 250th birthday. So it's one thing to talk about here in Philadelphia at the exhibit of the slaves that George Washington had when the White House or when his quarters were here in Philadelphia. It's another, though, if out of all this stuff. The idea is that America has not evolved to the America of today. If that's the message you're sending that you can't get past slavery ever, well, then that's not the right message. And I think it's pretty clear this guy deserves a place of honor. And he did have it in Delaware. They still have a plaza or something named after him downtown that's a big deal. And there are other things. Will they start now going after this guy again?

And a lot of this happened in the summer of George Floyd when we saw the Rizzo statue set on fire, then taken down in the middle of the night. Columbus, of course. We've won that one. I'm hoping the Rizzo statue, we have some news maybe spring or summer that it's going to be placed. I haven't heard from George. I haven't heard anything else, but I know behind the scenes they were working on that would be a big event. 855, 839, 12, 10, you get a line. Side question today, patriotic scene in a film. We've gotten a lot that were not the ones you think of, which is good. I mean, they've been all over the place. This coming off that Ray Dendinger and Glenn Mack now are doing the, and I'll let you know the date, we'll get them on on that sometime in April than another in May, patriotic scenes in sports films. One of those nights they did that are really popular. All right. So my shocked, Christine Ome, this is a long time coming, a little bit surprise out of the blue that Markwayne Mullin is a new head of Homeland Security. Now, why do people take a job when they're in a safe Senate seat like this? Because this is something other than the presidency. Arguably, this is the thing. Homeland Security. That is the most important position out there, not just with illegal immigration, but protecting America. Yeah, Department of Defense, I get that, but Homeland Security. This is a huge, wide-reaching organization. All right, phone lines, 855, 839, 12, 10.

Tom to your Diodano. On Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. What's that from, Henry? This is Band of Brothers. Ah, yes, okay. You know, Band of Brothers, a lot of the scenes are, let's just get through this, particularly the last number of episodes of is this really necessary? You know, they're going at the other side of the river and doing that. Beautifully played, really nuanced. Yeah. Let's go. And of course, um,

uh names will come wild bill uh guineer from philadelphia and babe and i forget his last name were the people that this was a lot of this was based on one he has a statue down at um near the ballpark uh let's go to joe calling from his car he was at the montco meeting today hey joe good afternoon hi dom joe how are you good joe Yeah, I was in Montgomery County for the commissioner's meeting today, and it was actually a joke. The most incredible thing, they passed a resolution basically saying Montgomery County will not participate with ICE. And there's two Democrats and one Republican. And Tom DeBello did a great job. They didn't even give him the text of the resolution until yesterday afternoon. And they changed it this morning. So he voted against it and said, this is crazy that you guys aren't sharing this with all the commissioners. Yeah. Go ahead, Joe. Go ahead. The second thing. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm talking over you. Go ahead, Joe. The second thing is just this week in Montgomery County, a 49-year-old woman named Alasette Schubert was murdered by Jose Luna in Rockledge. And go, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, bleep that. Joe, Joe, you can't make bleep that. Can't make allegations like that. I need to have it in front. I'm not doubting you. I'm just telling you that's the way it works. We're not naming people here in that. Okay. There was a woman murdered in Rockledge by a man who admitted to murdering her. Right. And his record shows that he has been deported and illegally re-entered the country. Right. The fact is, if our law enforcement was cooperating with ICE, there's a better than even chance that the woman would be alive and this guy would have been detained and either deported or in jail. They never mentioned her name, but they talk about the problems in Minnesota. Well, Joe, yeah, I will look that up. I'm vaguely aware of it. We'll talk about it tomorrow. But to your point. That's exactly right. The bigger point is this. What has happened to the Philadelphia suburbs? Yep. When, uh... I started in the Marine Corps in 1980. There were five members of Ronald Reagan's cabinet who were from Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Is that incredible or is that incredible? And where we've gone to from when I was a kid growing up to right now, it's just crazy. But in defense, do you remember who those people were? Because that's a good theme to, was it layman, the Secretary of Navy?

John Lehman was the Secretary of the Navy. And I'd have to have it written you down. I think it was the head of transportation, a big finance or donor guy. There was another general that was in charge. And I apologize. I can get you the names. Oh, yeah, Joe, if you will. Just send it to me. I'll look it up, too, though. That is a great fact to tell us where we've come to today. Yeah. And can I say one other thing about when General Petraeus was on, I was listening to you. I started in the Marine Corps in 1980. I know guys who were blown up in the Lebanon barracks. Iran has been killing Americans since I started in the Marine Corps in 1980. In the Lebanon barracks in the Cole incident. In Lebanon, they murdered. Their proxies murdered a Marine lieutenant colonel. They kidnapped them. They were killing people with IEDs. We're not starting a war right now. We're ending a war. We finally said, God bless President Trump for doing this. We've had enough the whole time that we were in Iraq. Iran was killing American soldiers, killing Iraqis, and it's time for us to end this nonsense. So this is the end of a war. It's not the beginning of it. Thank you, Joe, and thanks for your service. Yeah, I have to look that up to five. But, you know, it's one of those, when I tell you, don't say it's 72 years, whatever, since we've had a Republican in Philadelphia, last Republican mayor was alive for three years while Billy the kid was alive. I think he's accurate, if not cabinet, five prominent officials. Layman is an all-timer, and he was part of building the Navy back to 600 ships. Montgomery County, think about that, in central power, and we'll get you the name. I'll talk about it tomorrow. And how do we have the Mr. Softie truck guy going to prisons to register people and giving Mr. Softie out as he does it with that vehicle? And the Stoge woman who jumps up and says, no, I see her, we're going to, and the spokesperson, if they trespass, they're going to be treated like every other trespasser. Does that mean you're going to lock up ice, lady? If they're staging anywhere in our grounds here in Montgomery County. Just think of that. Now, it is 46 years. So maybe 1980. I would even say up until 1990, 95, 30 years ago, maybe 25. The suburbs were still vaguely Republican, good government, get things done, not ideologically conservative, all of it, you know, but slightly maybe. Center right. And now I don't even think two of them are center left. They're left. Delaware County abuses 23% one year. What was it? 19 the next year tax raising. One idea after another that's out of bounds. And Montgomery County is right there with them. Bucks, I would say they have two out of three. They just have a rubber stamp Republican many times vote with the two idiots out there in Bucks County.

And Chester County, their main thing is they're just incompetent up and down the line. But they lean to the left. Are people there actually aware of this stuff? I guess so. They do enough things in Montgomery County where they must have that base of support or they wouldn't be reelected. Madeline Dean, no opposition. Mary Gay Scanlan, the Holyham. And then you have Brian Fitzpatrick over in Bucks. We are living behind enemy lines. Philadelphia has a name, but Chorrell Parker on paper might not be liberal enough for Montgomery and Delaware County. She's certainly not going wild, attacking ice and all that. You know, that tirade she had recently? She's not doing that. It's Krasner and Michelle Belal. Not the mayor. Would she fit in? In the suburbs. Think about that. How did Philadelphia get to be slightly? I'm saying slightly. I guess she could be on the board out there in Chester County. She's liberal. But I don't think Delco and Montgomery County don't see it. All right. And for just being insufferable, Diane Merseglia and Bob Harve de Gras Harvey, they are insufferable beyond belief. They're enabled, though, by the remaining Republicans there. All right, phone lines are 855, 839, 1210. It is the lightning round next on Talk Radio 1210. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning round. All right, what a big, big day. Let's get a winner now here. We are looking for a patriotic scene in a patriotic film or some of these films that are not overtly patriotic. We've had great, great ones. Bill in Bucks on Talk Radio 12. 10 afternoon, Bill. Hi, good afternoon and happy new year once again. And yes, as the Buck County problem, I'll explain to you one of these days when you get a little bit more time. What if we have out here, you know, running with the state committee and so forth and so on. We've got like 36 candidates for state committee out here. Wow, 36. What congressional district? Is that the eighth? No, it's the PA first. It's a first. Okay, 36 candidates. Yeah, it's the first. It's Brian Fitzpatrick. Yeah, right. 36, though. Wow. Yeah, well, the truth is there's two Republican parties in Bucks County. That's all I can tell you. Yeah, I know. I know what you're talking about. Yep. What's your answer today? I don't want to get into that, but, you know. So I wish Presler and McCauley, you know, good luck. If they get a good ballot position they're in, if they don't, they won't win. Well, I think Presler, no matter what, is going to get in. I think he's got enough. McColley, we're going to need a little more. Yeah, definitely, Bill. So what's your answer?

My answer is General Patton. He goes into the military hospital, you know, visiting the sick and wounded and sees one of them there that happens to be just has bad nerves. and Patton flies off the handle, slaps the guy in the face and says, give him back on the front lines. All right, thank you, Bill. I don't know if people see that as the most patriotic in that film. It's back standing at the beginning and saying, don't die for your country, kill the other for his country. Right. And the whole thing behind him. My God. Michael and Wilmington next on Talk Radio 12.10. Hi, Michael. Hey, Dom. How are you today? My good, sir. Good. It was a great show today. Great guests. Always value your opinions in your show. So we're going to get right to the side question. No time is short here. But a very patriotic scene for me was the true story of Hacksalt Ridge and Desmond Dawes is the only... military officer who refused to carry a firearm. And in the Battle of Okinawa, he was left all up alone on that ridge. And at one point, he can no longer hear God. He was a godly man. And he gets on his knees and he goes, just please God, help me find one more. Help me find one more. And he rescues about 50 soldiers by himself. And every time when he lowers one down the hill, he goes, just help me find one more. Help me find one more. And it was a very emotional moving, and he saves all those wounded soldiers. Thank you, Michael. That is a great choice. I mean, if you don't get pumped up by that on the human level, the patriotic level, absolutely. All right, our second known Greek of the day, General Betrayas, definitely Greek, his father's 6thus, Betrayus, the tugboat captain. Drew of Upper Darby. Drew, welcome in. Hey, Dom, thank you so much. I appreciate that. Tom, in the movie, American Gangster, it's based on a true story that takes place in the 60s. Russell Crow is a detective hot on the tail of Denzel Washington, who's smuggling heroin in. And Russell Crow... wants to know where the heroin's coming from. So he thinks it's coming in the coffins of the Vietnam War dead who are coming in off the planes. And when he goes to get help to open up the coffins... No one wants to help them. The one young Arby sergeant says, I'm not touching those things, man. These guys are war heroes. You know what I mean? So I thought that was pretty cool. Like these Vietnam war dead are heroes. No one wanted to touch their coffins. Thank you, Drew. Boy, these are films you wouldn't think of today. Pretty good stuff.

Uh, chef Dave is, oh, one of my favorite films. I don't know, top 10, top 25 in Oakland. Dave, what's yours? Top 10, easy, Tom. Okay, I'll consider. You know, you got to give it to Texas, man. Slim pickings, flying down on the end of the aisle is. Come on. It's Texas, baby. Everything's bigger in Texas. All right, that's it's George C. Scott's rendition. He catches himself saying if he's good, if he's really good, he can get in there. Then he goes, oh, my God. flying over the outhouse and the hen house coming into russia oh jesse trexelahill talk radio 12th day hey jess what do you have today how you doing for me dom it's the opening credits of victory at sea you see the extensive ocean you see the the big ship plowing through it then you see the white v being imposed and then you hear richard rogers tremendous overture you know this is real deal this is real war and it's home for me because I had a very close relative served on an aircraft carrier in the South Pacific. And every time I watch that, and I see that V and I hear the music, man, it gets me. Richard Nixon, when he finally won the presidency, went home and opened up all the windows on Park Avenue, was playing victory at sea so loud, people, the manate he stop it. You imagine Nixon saying that. Phil in Delaware on talk radio. I never got to interview Nixon. Phil in Delaware. Hi, Phil. What's yours? Good impression. Hey, you know, every day's like a new year, so happy New Year. Two things real quick. One, a longtime Delawareian. who's in Long Island. It's called Rodney Square. Yes. Okay. And as soon as they did the thing with George Washington's thing in Philly, I start sending messages to all the legislators. It's time to get Caesar to ride back into Rodney Square. Absolutely. Imagine facial cancer, 87 miles, two horses, and they want to attack this guy. Amazing. Cowards. Disgusting. And as far as those kids out in Bucks County, the parents are yelling accountability for the city and the council. No, how about accountability for you, the parents, and the kids? Why don't we start with that? Well, that police chief, someday I'll get him on after this settles in. That's the guy I want to talk with. What's your answer, Phil? Actually, I really didn't have one. Okay. You brought up Cesar Ronnie. Thank you. I gotcha, Phil. All right, Kirk, who did you like? So I'm definitely going with, I definitely go with, I just want to say, I apologize. Oh, Andrew Ewing, Sandlot, the scene from Sanlott. The scene from Sanlott was a good one. Henry, how about yours? Yeah, how could I forget Andrew from Ewing? I mean, he punctuated the call. And I do love that scene, Sandlot, playing under the fireworks.

Another one I liked was Michael in Wilmington's Hacksaw Ridge with Desmond Doss just praying like, help me find one more. I love the Ewing, but I did like the Hacksaw Ridge a hair better. Close call, which we had to do. Hacksaw Ridge. Yeah. Yeah, but Andrew from Ewing, we got the name. You're on the list, buddy, sometime tomorrow. Hey, follow on Twitter until tomorrow. Henry's already lined up an all-star, Congressman Perry. followed by Senator McCormick on the war, et cetera, and Christine Ome, right at the top of the show. And the biggie, Dr. Victoria Coates, back with us. Nobody knows what's going on there better at 1.30. Thank you for listening today. A lot of fun. And General Petraeus, my admiration, without a doubt. Top Greek on this show. Sorry, Zinos. Betray us for today. All right. The afternoon show is next here. Follow on Twitter at Dom Show 1210.
