In seasons one and two, we were joined by Neil Patrick Harris, Kobe Smolders, Brian Cranston, Ashley Williams, Wayne Brady, Jenna Fisher and Angela Kinsey, Joe Mangonello, and my brilliant co-creator Carter Bays, and now we are diving into season three. So whether it's your 50th three watch or your first time through, follow How We Made Your Mother wherever you get your podcasts. 1210. WP.H. All right, it is Tom Time. 855-839-1210. That's the line today. We got a great side question coming off yesterday's show. We have Paul Morrow coming up. And I want to start, even though this James Talarico guy is a real threat. This guy is what the Democrats live for. Camouflage. I have just a one-page readout of his positions biblically. You've seen these guys before, quoting the, you know, and look, we've seen these phony baloney preacher. Let me do Tower Rico first, and we'll talk Megyn Kelly, Hasselback, play you what Megyn Kelly said yesterday if you missed it. that is beyond outrageous. Essentially, the American military that have died so far, they didn't die protecting America. They died for either Iran, Israel, or Iran and Israel. There's a lot of things you can say. There's a lot of provocative wild stuff you can say. But this is as hurtful as anything imaginable. And Megyn Kelly has shown... that she is not a mainstream figure. She comes across to me as a puppet of Tucker Carlson, who's a maniac at this point. James Talarico won over Jasmine Crockett. We'll talk about Jasmine Crockett. She's yesterday's news. The Ghetto Speak when she went to private schools and the whole thing that she engaged in. We have a montage. She'll probably end up on MSNBC or someplace like that. All true. But James Talarico is the story, and he won going away. They see this guy as a guy who can pretend to be rural, a guy who is a populist, a seminarian, and has an incredible knowledge of the Bible and how the Bible skews toward the progressive side. It's a progressive document. Now, you know, I think most people listening, we don't like it when people resort to the Bible for everything. Right? I don't know about you. And political life. It's a refuge of scoundrels when they go down that path on most things. Their own personal beliefs, that's great. Here are some of the highlights, and we'll play you some of this during the course of the show of Tauro Rico. He thinks that illegal immigrant children are more patriotic than American children. He thinks the Torah tells you how to get an abortion. I have to look up that passage today. He thinks the trans community needs abortions too. He thinks there are at least six genders. He thinks God is non-binary. He thinks the Bible supports gay marriage.

He thinks Jesus supported abortion because he talked to and was kind to women. Then there's a story of the Annunciation of Mary where he has the Archangel asking for permission and that bank shots, double, triple bank shots, into that's for abortion. But you want to win. You have to face. What's the upside of this guy? Well, the media is on his side. They love it. He's young. He plays and he did well in Texas in the rural areas. And their dream, you remember way back when we had Alan West on, I think it was his second book, hold Texas, hold the nation. You start losing Texas, say in presidential races or any of these races. You cannot win the country. You lose Texas. I mean, you already have a lot on California, New York. I don't care who it is. You're not going to win those, right? You add Texas to that mix electorally. Maybe even Kamala Harris can scrape to a win. You've got to run the table and all those swing states and everything else. So this is their dream. He exemplifies follow what he did. Now, on the other side, we've got quite a dilemma. President Trump is going to have to step in and decide this. By any polling, by any sense that I see, John Cornyn, who is a rhino of rhinos, will beat this guy. Paxon, there's a lot of uncertainty. Now, Paxon has a lot of MAGA credit, but his divorce story, is just, he's a bad guy. That's my view. And this whole thing that's come out. And his wife is not going to let him get away with it. So he is a roll of the dice. It was pretty close. Will President Trump jump in sooner rather than later? They've already spent a record on a Senate race primary in Texas. That money can go to other places where we can win. You know, we know about the House. But I'm telling you, if we lose this Senate race in Texas, I think they lose the Senate. And it will be a harbinger of what's going to happen in Texas next. The foothole will be incredible. This guy, James Talarico, will really be gone down Broadway with his... What was the Rocky and Bullwinkle, something like the fractured fairy tales, telling the fairy tales, drunken fairy tales. You've seen stuff like that. This guy has a drunken Bible class. Yeah, yeah, yeah, abortions. Jesus is for abortions. For it right up to the end. Here's the evidence of that. So this guy is really a menace. Because the media loves this stuff. They're not going to say, well, come on now. What are you talking about? Mary. And that's the abortion story? You've got to be kidding me. All right. Now, here is Megyn Kelly. I guess it would have been Monday. And I'm glad Elizabeth Hassel. Now, Megyn Kelly has attacked Elizabeth Hasselbeck as a lightweight. Well, it's Megyn Kelly.

certainly not mainstream. She would apologize for the next 10 shows and say, I just got caught up in a moment. Here's what I meant to say. But she is so much into this vortex of Tucker Carlson. And what she perceives as a big audience out there, what MAGA is, is to be anti-Israel. Anti-Semitic to boot, sure. Listen to what she says about those lives that we lost of people protecting us, our Constitution, our way of life, and the danger posed by Iran. They didn't die for any of that at noble cause, that service. Nope. Megyn Kelly's robbing that from the families because she's a prominent national figure. Here's what the stooge of Tucker Carlson said they died for. Look, there are massive divisions over what we've done here, and people are going to change their minds over the coming days and weeks one way or the other. But my own feeling is no one should have to die for a foreign country. I don't think those four service members died for the United States. I think they died for Iran or for Israel. I think, I understand how this helps Iran perfectly well. I get it. I mean, I hope. Long term, we'll see. But they seem rather jubilant. 80% of the country does not support the Ayatollah. He was a terrible, terrible man. No one's crying that he's dead. No normal person. But our government's job is not to look out for Iran or for Israel. It's to look out for us. And this feels very much to me like it is clearly Israel's war. Mark Levin wanted it. It's his war. Ben Shapiro, Lindsey Graham, Miriam Peter Mandelson. That's obvious. They're the ones who've been pushing us into. All right. That part is true. There's some of the figures. There we go again. Okay. Saying they died for Israel and Iraq, going that much to the bone is just despicable. Now here's Hasselback. And yeah, I don't think she could stand toe to toe, a high heel to high heel against Megyn Kelly. But I've been in the ring with her. She interviewed me a couple of times. I think she's decent. And I think she makes a great point here yesterday on the view of all places. Here's Elizabeth Hasselbeck. I could just say this. Number one, Megyn Kelly's clip that we ran before is saying who those troops died for. How dare you, Megyn Kelly? How dare you tell a military person who has sacrificed their lives for our nation in our uniform? When they are sacrificing their lives in our uniform, how dare you tell them or their families or our nation what they died for? Oh, you better be careful. She'll come right back at you. I'm not a creative her. I'm not a creative of her. But I am. I have. My heart with my friends in the military, you do not get to authorize who they died for. So let me just clear that out. So I'm not. And I come here. I'm a vote Republican and I'm a conservative, but I'm a thinking woman. And I have a heart with it. All right. It has a heart. Okay. 855, 839, 12, 10. You know, some of people tell you, well, you can say freedom of speech. You're Megyn Kelly can say whatever she wants.

But if you can watch Megyn Kelly after that without saying, look, I got out there too much. Certainly, there are thoughts and prayers with the families, the friends of those who died in this situation. You just don't go there because you're crazed to go after Israel. And you're crazy Tucker Carlson's telling you he knows what Maga is. And Maga says, no, I'm looking at the polling. I'm looking at my own polling on Twitter. About 85% of self-identified MAGA, about 81% of Republicans support what has done so far. It doesn't mean if there's boots on the ground and all that. That's not going to be an issue. But Megyn Kelly is the one wishing it here, wanting to be provocative in the camp of Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes and a few other, quote, influencers. But the greater body of them, I don't think, are a spout. Where's the evidence of this? All right, 855, 839, 12, 10. Side question today. So yesterday, we read you the Nurses United Group. You know, if you have a comment on this, I want to get to you right away. 855, 839, 1210. Yesterday, we read the Nurses United Nurses, registered nurses. Apparently, it's mainly New York and California, not so much nationwide. And this union was talking about imperialism and things of that nature. And Henry happened to be in a meeting at that point around union activity. So it was natural after the show. Never done this. Things good or bad. This is one. We don't want to rein it into one or the other with unions or a person. So I'll take Jimmy Hoffa off the board. I mean, that should be the number one association, the most notorious. that we've seen that I can think of when I think of a union. And on the upsides, I'll give the unions they did back in the day win things like the eight-hour workday, sort of, you know. They lost their way, became an army of the Democrat Party, and in places like Philadelphia, thuggish, to put it mildly. But the upside of unions, some of the things they accomplish are the very basis of the American way of life, the eight-hour day. No child labor. Henry, how about yours? Yeah, so I'll take two off the board. How about the first one I take off is the leader of the farmer's union way back in the day, Caesar Chavez. Yes, big name. Yeah, huge name. Had to take that off. It was the low-hanging fruit. Yeah. And how about, yeah, I did miss almost an hour of the show yesterday. Oh, unions. See the unions again. How about I take off collective bargaining? I mean, you see it in sports. You see it in other unions where they have to come to the table and make some sort of compromise in order for both sides to get what they want. Collective bargaining. All right. How about yours, Kirk? So the two top things where it comes in unions is a Teamsters. There are a hardcore group of people. And the AFL-CIO, another top union group. Okay. So we left some out there for now, but we'll be taking them off. You get in. It's all in the call. Something associated with unions or a person or a situation. They're upside. You might have an upside call.

Or you might have the negative. 855, 839, 12, 10. That's what you get in. And if you're on the side of Megyn Kelly, you can jump in right now. How dare you, Dom? How dare you? She can say whatever she wants. It's hurtful, shameful, and it's a sycophant of Tucker Carlson. And Tucker Carlson has lost his mind. That's the upside. If he hasn't, then he's just toxic beyond belief. Or maybe it's a combination of both. And she is prattling along with Tucker Carlson, thinking that's what MAGA wants to say these people didn't die protecting our interests, America. Now, does it protect some other things in the course of that? Yeah, that happens. But is that your view? This was just a war for Israel. It's just a war. She started by saying it was just a war for Iran. to free people in Iran. I told you yesterday, I don't even see that happening anytime soon, if ever. All right, phone lines are 855, 839, 1210. Sometimes it feels like the news is full of things that have never happened before. And that is not exactly true. In fact, it may have happened this very week, hundreds or thousands of years ago. I'm Sally Helm, host of the podcast History This Week from the History Channel. Trade embargoes, Thomas Jefferson tried them. Rent too high? We've been arguing about that for a while. Each episode is proof. The past isn't that far away. Listen to History This Week, available now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Tom Chiodato on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. Okay, it is Dom time. 855-839, 1210. You get on board. Pete Hegseth was the news today around the war, I think, and where we are and what's happened so far. Not every second is going to be... some big update, but it's pretty clear. It's very clear to me. What happens during these things is people reveal themselves. And Megyn Kelly is revealing herself to have lost her mind and dignity and decency when you say, hey, your family member just realize they didn't die, heroes protecting us. They died for Israel slash Iran, Iran slash Israel. That's what this is about. That's what they died for. That's what the point is. And the polling, I don't think, is reflecting what Megyn Kelly and others think it is. I don't see the Trump coalition cracking on this, not even a little bit considering everything. All right, here's a little bit more of James Talarico. This is cut 23. This is James Talarico. He will be, I don't know about a doctor of divinity. He'll have some kind of Bible to Grado. That I would just, I'd love to get this guy on the show. I don't think we'd last. You don't need to be a biblical expert to know that he is spinning this stuff, saying things like, well, abortion's not even in the Bible. Here's his first sermon, and it's basically a speech on why God supports abortion, cut 23.

Before we go further, I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too. Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day at the state capital. And you better believe I'll be giving sermons on that too. So when I use the word woman, it should not be understood as an exhaustive term, but rather as a lens through which to understand, examine, and interrogate patriarchy. Similar to how we specify anti-black racism All right. So when he uses women, see, he's going to define women. It's about the patriarchy. And again, here's one more. This is his political position. This is cut 12. Now, remember, he's in Texas of all places. What does he think should happen at the southern border, cut 12? Our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front. Giant welcome that out front at the southern border. All right. So that's all you need in an ad you're thinking. But I'm telling you, this guy is a bit more clever than the average here. He's like a younger Josh Shapiro. Think of him and that's what this guy's like. And the media can't get enough of it. A Democrat bashing these evil Republicans back with the Bible. Take that. All right. So that's why he's dangerous. And Paxing, to me, is toxic in his own personal life, et cetera. I don't know how that's going to play. It's awful. John Cornyn is like a Brian Fitzpatrick on steroids. How do we always end up with these choices? But I think in the end, President Trump's going to endorse John Cornyn. And I think that's a way to go. And I think it makes sense. And we can put Texas to bed, I think, at that point. You put Paxson in there, and he's very close. I would take the bet he's going to lose to James Talarico. And that is going to be incredibly damaging toward holding the Senate. And all the money that will be thrown in there to prop this guy up is money that can be spent turning another state or two. All right, so 855, 839, 12, 10. Hit us with a person or an issue or an association with unions. I'm not sure if unions have made a bit of a comeback under Union Joe. We know how much they had dropped off. I guess in the late 50s, early 60s, they were a sizable number. And who was it? Was it, Gompers? It was one of those guys, the AFL, CIO. He was asked what does labor want? And his answer, more. Great answer. Yeah, great answer. That was it, one word answer. Not sure if Gompers are one of those guys. And as I said, let's be fair, the eight-hour day, no child labor. When unions came of age, the stuff they were fighting against was incredible. But when I think of the teachers unions, for example, they're fighting against parents. I mean, that's where we're going. That's their constituency themselves. Let's start off. Bill and Bucks. And Bill, you're on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Bill, welcome in.

Hi there, Dom. Happy New Year to you. Well, thank you, Bill. Thank you, Bill. It continues. Yes. And I do have the side question of the day. I'm a little bit early because I have another project I'm doing. But anyway, this union leader has a brother who is a chief or who is a justice of the PA Supreme Court. And I'm talking about Johnny, Johnny Doc. Dr. D. Yeah, an all-time. Leader of IB, former leader of IBEW, local 98 on Spring Garden Street. Yeah, an all-time face of the union, exactly a roguish figure, a thuggish figure, without a doubt, and ending up in jail. Thank you, Bill. And Johnny Doc and I, Henry, have had such a back and forth. If you can imagine five days in the Daily News columnists of Chris Brennan, the political guy, gone back and forth between Kenny, Dockertie and me. All because I got a top hat. They said I had monogram shirts. You see any money? A top hat from a Halloween store. They loved it for the promotion. Yeah. And a big thing, it said a big D pin over here and a long cigarette holder and like a waistcoat. And I think the producer played as a butler. And they put it in the Daily News. Oh, man. Yeah, and then Docherty and Kenny said they hate each other, essentially, but they were allied against me. So that's a union right there. That's a union. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah, we do miss Johnny Doc, and the annex here in Philadelphia. He's the most colorful of the last 40 or 50 years, without a doubt. All right, so that's it. Union side question today. Paul Morrow in the on-deck circle. Megyn Kelly, though. Is that just some remark? Come on, Dom, people have a difference of opinion over this war. They don't see it as you do as necessary, not a war of choice. That's the thing we're putting in here. Yeah, it does serve Israel's interest also. It maybe serves the interest of the Iranian people, but the big interest, Trump laid it out yesterday. They're not getting a nuclear weapon. They're not going to be aiming ballistic missiles at us. And on we go. A couple of things. A couple of takeaways just a few days into this. One, we've seen it a little bit before, but as a point of emphasis, the effectiveness of drones, these drones may only cost 20,000. Some of the fighter planes, things like that, you know the cost is enormous. So if you take out a drone, yeah, 20,000, but they can send hundreds of them. The other, is it just me? Stephen A. Smith made this point, and I agree with it at this point about this is cut 20. Listen to what Stephen A. Smith said about JD Vance and Marco Rubio, Stephen A. Smith cut. And I think that when we see what happened with Iran and the fact that Marco Rubio was in the middle of it all as Secretary of State. But JD Vance, the vice president, had very, very little to do with it. Clearly, he has been pushed back. Clearly, Marco Rubio has gained traction. And clearly, in my estimation, unless something catastrophic happens, Marco Rubio is going to be the Republican nominee for the presidency of the United States of America in 28. I think we're seeing JD Vance, slip. All right. Let me break this down. Slip.

I'll get into Tucker Carlson and what he's had to say about all this another day. Because obviously he finds and sides with JD Vance more favorably than he does with Trump, Marco Rubio, or anybody else will get into that another day. But I noticed that transpiring. All right. Okay. We're way away from that. JD Vance is in the Tucker Carlson camp and doesn't want to say too much. I think he sees it more as a war for Israel. That's where he's posturing. That's not good. I think that's where his sentiment is, though. As far as Marco Rubio being the nominee, that's a long way from happening. I mean, this is not going to be something you're going to know tomorrow. All right, Paul Morrow has morphed into, and this year, one of our all-time favorites, former NYPD, inspector, supervisor, lawyer. See him a lot on Fox and intelligence, intelligence gathering, one of his specialties. And he has been incredibly active on Twitter during all this on several different things. So we'll break it down with them. Also, Zohran Mamdani now says they're going to pay for child care, $36,000 a year in New York. Taxpayers paying for it. even for people that are here illegally.

I'm Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, time to your Danos show. Welcome in, 855, 839, 12, 10, union associations, person, place, or thing. That's today's side question. Paul Morrow's been on with us a lot in the new year. He is an attorney, former NYPD inspector, current Fox News contributor all over the place, has his own Fox Nation show that we'll tell you about. And one of his areas, and one of the things the NYPD is... As good as it gets. I mean, I remember when they opened an NYPD office in Israel. The reason? Intelligence gather. Very few, I think, police departments have the bandwidth resources to do that. So I wanted to ask him about that. Paul's next on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Paul, I didn't know you were such a big hockey fan. Incredible on Twitter. And let me start out just, you know, to endure myself to your audience that as far as the Flyers go, I hate them.

Why do you hate the fires, Paul? Let's establish that right off the top. They always beat my teams. They're always good. The flyers are always tough. Oh, it doesn't matter if they're having a bad year or whatever. When it comes to New York, they shiv us, man. I mean, when I was a kid, it was the Broad Street bullies. I go back that far. So, you know, Philly's a great. Actually, Philly, in my estimation, is probably the best sports town in the country. New York is not really a great sports town. I've got too many other distractions. But Philly and then maybe Boston's number two. But God, the Flyers are tough. They're always a good team. And, you know, that's kind of why, as I say, with all respect and love, I can't stand them. Well, you'd be fitting great here. We fancy our son. I'm right down the hall from WIP, Paul. And the passion, particularly with the Eagles. It is like soccer teams in the other countries. Yeah. So Paul, let's talk about your role when you're with NYPD and what you do now, intelligence gathering, is a big deal. How do you see the ability to do that with what's going on in Iraq? The Israelis, do you think they're overrated or is it about right? When we say intelligence, we say Mossad. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's not very good. They're not infallible. People who like to put them on that pedestal forget an operation that they ran, ooh, God, about eight years ago that we all watched The Incredulous, where they sent guys in who were caught on camera and everything else to do an operation in, I think it was Dubai, and the whole thing got penetrated. It was a mess, and it was Mossad. We couldn't believe it, so somebody got fired over that, I'm sure. So, yeah, look, I dealt... With them, I've been overseas. I've been to Israel to do best practices and the kind of stuff that you do overseas. To be clear, the NYPD has, I think, currently 14 stations overseas. You're always embedded with a local agency. You don't run operations. That's important because that is outside the charter. But you also can work, and they do work, with the federal agencies. And so you're embedded there. You're working with DHS. You're working with FBI. There are DHS, as they call them, overseas. And that's really the FBI term. But either way. And, you know, so the idea is to exchange best practices and make sure you know what's going on. And it's very, very effective. for bringing the stuff back home to know what the trends are, what the threats are, what's going on globally, so that here in New York, which is a front line, the number one terror target in the country, history demonstrates that. You know, that way you're always up to snuff on what's happening. So with something like we have now, of course, you're going to be very concerned with any projection Iran tries. And, of course, they're Caspar Hezbollah. which always has a presence in New York. What people don't realize about Hezbollah is that they are, while they are overseas, a terrorist organization, globally, here in the Western Hemisphere, particularly, they're a criminal organization. They're like a mafia, and they're pretty well organized. And, you know, they have a hierarchical structure, and that's a force multiplier. That said, Iran has never really been able to project overseas power.

relative to operations on American soil. They've never really been able to do it very well. They've made a few attempts. I think the one that people remember most is they tried to get a guy in through the southern border, through the cartels who were involved with that, to assassinate the Saudi ambassador here in New York. I was still working at the time. She had a good window into that one, and it was DEA, who were the heroes there. They penetrated through the cartels. And so it was indicted. There have been a few things since that are pretty ham-handed. You know, when they're trying to use Russian half-baked wise guys to carry out an assassination here, which was the kind of last thing they attempted, you've got to say to yourself, you're not really dealing with an A team. So I think that we should live our lives, not be concerned about it. More worrisome is the kind of thing we saw in Austin, which is somebody who is inspired by what's happening overseas as opposed to something that's really directed. Now, the only concern I have with that last thing that you talked about, the NYPD is very good at snuffing out, even the lone wolf, as good as it gets. I mean, it's difficult. But with Zohran Mamdani there, how is it shaking out after the great snowball thing, et cetera, with them? The police chief, I think, stood up pretty well, but she hasn't been fired or quit, so are things okay? Yeah, so she's going to do her job. And it stakes with terrorism. Terrorism is an interesting thing. I mean, I, you know, in my former seat, not only running the Intel ops, but then when I ended up getting the, before my success and sins, they gave me a commanding officer to the legal bureau. And at that point, you're dealing, you're much more outward facing. And I can tell you that even with our most vocal detractors here in New York, which is no shortage of, as you can imagine, when it came to the terrorism stuff, it was much more muted. And... I think that even Zohran Mamdani recognizes, first of all, he can't get a security clearance, so he's not going to be ready. We all had, you know, especially the bosses, we all had top secret SCI security clearances. You had to know what was going on. I was constantly going in and out of the SCF, which is the secure environment so you could read the classified reporting or running down to D.C. to a liaison because very often you were giving stuff as opposed to getting, picking up stuff that we were hearing and making sure the people that needed to know knew about it. If somebody without a security clearance, first of all, not going to be able to be in that pipeline, number one. And number two, as I said, it would be a catastrophic failure. Were we to miss something that could have been indicted because the mayor had decided to undo some of the vital programs that NYPD Intel runs. So I, a judge, and maybe this is wishful thinking, I'm not in a loop anymore for all the reasons I'm describing, nor do I try to be. It's not my role anymore. So I've got to be deferential. I think that it would really, really be a mistake. My understanding is that even Bill de Blasio stayed out of it.

He couldn't get a security clearance either, by the way. And I think when it comes to terrorism, they know enough to be hands off. It's not their bellywick. Now, on Twitter, I look at you three or four times a day to stuff you're posting, particularly now, Paul, you talked about what we all hear, and you actually lived it, the evidence of this, of these protesters, the same signs, the people that show up. the funding, the organization, and particularly in the era of social media and everything else, it went from a dime, the anti-ice not happening, and suddenly they're anti what we're doing in Iran. Oh, yeah, they can just flip this switch. What people don't realize, I've been talking about this a long time since I got out of the police department and I was free to vocalize. And, you know, and now, as you say, I'm on, I got to lay off that X, man. I mean, it's when I'm supposed to be reading books and I think captures me. But it's all new to me, you know, so it's like a new toy. But in any case, the situation with the protesters is that it's a career path. People don't realize that. It's actually a career option. They get them in college. And there's a management class. And it can be quite lucrative because they're funded. by a lot of, in my opinion, good-hearted but wrong-headed people domestically, and some people who are maybe not so good-hearted outside our borders, as in Soros, Roy Singham, who, if anybody reads my website, the ops desk, I have been plugging away on Singham for a long time. That's a whole other interview, I think, but these are malevolent characters who really, really hate America. And they weaponize these people. There's no one of the term for it. They fund them. They help organize them. It goes through all kinds of cutouts. And ultimately, it devolves to the ground where there's no shortage of money. And so the management class takes good six-figure salaries and at the same time recruits the useful idiots out of the campuses who work for free or very little money. And then the more active and committed and maybe capable of those campus types ascend into the management class. It's just like any other job. And it's institutionalized here in America and particularly in New York and our blue cities. What is so inimical and I think infuriating is that you drill down far enough. Tax money goes to these characters. We're funding it. It's always one or two cutouts. And we all know that they form a 501c3, but they use the 501C4 for the outward facing stuff. And that way they beat their taxes. It's really right for investigation. My understanding is that DHS right now is pulling at this whole ecosystem very hard relative to Minneapolis. and who has been funding the ice protests up there. But trust me when I tell you, that will be the real tip of the iceberg. And what's below the water line is massive, entrenched. It's been going on a very long time. And it was one of the revelations I had going back to when I started as a cop in the 90s.

I can remember the old time. I remember noticing it and the old time was saying, oh, yeah, you're always going to see the same faces because it doesn't matter. The cause doesn't really matter. It just has to be sort of anti-America. They're all just Marxists at bottom or no ideology and they just want to get paid. But generally, they're far-left Marxists who are just not on board with American success. and they ascribe very simplistically to oppressor versus oppressed. Absolutely. Well, look, we want you to be reading books, but we want you on Twitter, and I would tell listeners to go there. That's where I get, given your background, given what I see on Fox, the actual detail, the actual endorsement of what I think is happening here, particularly in New York. Fox Nation, what's your upcoming show? Paul, it's Fridays, right? Yeah, Thursdays, usually Thursdays and Friday. It's supposed to be Fridays, but sometimes we do it on Thursday. If we have a lot to talk about, it's called the Weekly Rap Geet. It's a true crime show. And it's myself and two very capable lawyers and very experienced prosecutors now defense, Donald Rituno and Josh Ritter. There are a pair of characters. One is very prominent in Chicago. Josh is very prominent in L.A., so we've got a lot of the country covered, covered a big cases, argue, talk about it, it's a lot of fun. Fox Nations come a long way. If you don't have it, it's the Fox streaming service. It's cheap. And, yeah, check it out. Come on. We'd love to see you. We take emails and everything else. It's been a lot of fun for me. I really appreciate them letting me do it. Absolutely. Well, if you ever get to Philadelphia doing anything, we'll go to a Flyers game, Paul. There's an idea. That's all they need to. Thank you, Paul. Thanks for joining. All right, buddy. Take care. Paul Morrow. I just love that guy. The guy could be in a movie as a cop, but he's like an elevated, sophisticated, but like Dragnet at the same time. I did see that intelligence gathering was one of his major things. You heard a lot here that I put a lot of trust in, things that we often say. These protesters are organ. You heard him talk in detail about the whole network of them and what they're engaged in. All right, phone lines. It has never done this one before. Things associated with unions. Henry took off one per bill called in with Johnny Doc. I had Hafeh. Henry, you had a person to who was your Caesar Chavez. Seeger Ships, yes, definitely. All right, the good union, the not so good unions. What's the worst union out there? A lot of people might say the teacher's union. I think the sports unions are ridiculous, given everything, given the salaries and given everything else that's there and that, you know, they, well, they're against the salary cap, right? I'm not sure at times. Baseball definitely is. Yeah. No, I meant the union. I would think so, yeah. Yeah, they should be. I would think, yeah. I would hope they'd come out against the draft. Come on. Join me on this. 855-839-12. Pagintry of it, though. Oh, of course, the fodder, the material, the tampering that you can do and the tampering you can't do. That's what sports have become. All right. So we got all that and hit us on the side question. Megyn Kelly, Hasselback. Megyn Kelly, out of control.

The worst is Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, they're allowing the media to say that MAGA, conservatives, Trump people are against what's going on now. I don't believe that to be true. If it were, I would tell you it. The polling doesn't indicate that. 855, 839, 1210. Let's talk for a moment. About your heart.

Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, a little bit of upcoming tomorrow. Boy, already, headliners. Alante McCauley here in studio after City Council. Will they cut his mic off? Will they go to a wide angle? Will the booers storm him as he postulates? Or is it going to be all the above? All the above flipping Philadelphia Red tomorrow. So he'll be here at one. I'll ask him if I should be wearing a pimp's outfits. That's the stuff on Twitter. I don't know if I have, Roe, get that chinchilla coat out. You're a local coat? No, that's what the guy wore that was a pimp who busted acorn. It made James, James O'Keefe, international news. He came in dressed that way, and they still were giving him housing with his girlfriend. Wow. And that was it for the organization. It was master. If you Google James O'Keefe. And it was his grandmom's chinchilla coat. That was the first big mark he made. Oh, my goodness. We'll also have General David Betray us with us. Now, he's coming out in favor of what's going on. And again, you know, when you do this job over the years, there are disappointments. You don't know how disappointed I was when I did that run with him, sat with him for hours. I thought he was running for president. He didn't do that. Then he became the head of the CIA, and he was doing great work, and then the scandal happened around that. So he, though, is the hero of knowing what to do in Iraq and Afghanistan. We'll talk with him tomorrow at 1.30 on that. Let me go to Phil in Delaware. Phil's on Talk Radio 1210. Hi, Phil. Hey, I want to wish you a happy New Year. It's going to be a great one. All right. That's two today. Usually we're getting calmer, but thank you, Phil. It is going to be a happy New Year's day. Well, I'm early for next year. How about that? There you go. I endorse all with that. Hey, I got to tell you, you are an inspiration. Well, thank you, Phil. All the talking about the teachers union with what's going on with social justice, that's all the kids are getting taught to walk out of class and think that they can just do what they want. And most people are thinking, is this the future of the kids? What about jobs? And like the point was made over and over. No wonder we got to go overseas to get workers because... How much debt, how much use is going to be carrying a sign? Yeah. Well, and when you look at the places that are doing this, like the Quaker Town one, their reading rate is only 35% proficient. Their superintendent just quit in the middle of this. They're a prime example. Phil, what's your aside today?

Well, that was it, the teachers unions. That's a good one. Thank you, Phil. Thanks for the kind words, too. All right, 855, 839, 12, 10, you get on board. So unions have been a big negative, particularly the teachers' unions in recent years. But you can give us something good because the unions, when they started out, of course. provided the American way of life, or at least parts of it. I don't know the exact point they lost their way and became radicalized or just an organ of the Democrat Party. And here in Philadelphia, their control is just enormous. But the N-E-A, the N-J-E-A, I mean, they are anathema to parents. All right, that's the side. And coming up, a little bit more on Jasmine Crockett, a montage in her honor, where dropping the F-bomb became her brand. And it is true. I could play it for you. I mean, we almost have seen it. She did adapt a dialect that's been called Ghetto Speak when the schooling she went to was $60,000 a year private school. I think that's more. And last night you heard her tone and accent was much more of that. But in politics, I guess that plays a little bit better. It got her on TV a lot. At the knockdown dragout with Marjorie Taylor Greene, we'll play some of that was. Enormous. But 855, 839, 1210. You grab a line. You're with Dom on Talk Radio 12.10. Tom Giordano, weekdays, noon till 3. From Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. On time, several sightings. Matt Rooney's got some interesting stuff up today about Governor Christie. riveting speeches across New Jersey. Not that Matt is saying that, but some Republicans are saying, you know what, we got to go back to Christy, go to Christy, the face of it, the only Republican to win twice. I was just mentioning the disappointment when General Betrayis got caught up in the thing. I thought this guy was going to be present. It'll be on tomorrow 1.30, and I haven't had them on in quite a while. I'm really looking forward to it. He's a genius when it comes to things like Iran and Iraq. And you saw the results with him. Governor Christie a genius, though, not so much. The disappointment there was I had Christie on about seven times as I remember it. And every time was really good. Then on the eighth, I just started probing because we were all wound up, the hug of Obama, Sandy, right before the election, Mitt Romney. And we were off to the races. I don't remember ever being in quite a street fight like that on the air as it was with Christy. He's that good. Part of my mind was focusing on I'm outside my body watching this stuff with this guy and trying to say, water, water, hose me down here. It's like in a corner. Cut me, Mick. Cut me. And when Christy goes, I'm going to need some more time to his guy there, I'm thinking you're going to need a hell of a lot more time. And then he would never come back on again. He's a bully who's sensitive.

We'd have been fine if he came back on again. He'd come back on any time. So he's surfacing again, and he's got the magic message for Republicans in Jersey. Now, as you know, last week, I was on. Rich had something else, so he asked me and tagged in to go to the Camden County Republican big annual event, their Lincoln Reagan event. And they didn't seem dispirited to me or crushed by the loss. But it's got to be difficult being these Republican organizations, particularly the conservatives, in a place like Jersey. And you've got to come away thinking that something, no matter how voters are abused, they still line up to vote for Democrats. They might complain about it, but they just want Jersey so much, and they think they've grown up with this. That's the party. And it's such a touchstone for what the midterms are going to be about. When Trump was on the ballot, he came within six points in Jersey, which is a miracle. Without Trump on the ballot, Jack Ciattarelli lost by over 14. That's a 20-point swing. And that's why I get afraid of what happens in the midterms. In other words, I know those Democrat voters. You know it in your heart of hearts. And I'm worried about Texas. If it's John Cornyn, the ultimate Rhino, I think you'll beat Tauro. If it's Paxon, I take the bet right now. Paxon won't beat him. And that is pretty dangerous. Now we're talking about the Senate. So it's going to be interesting to see it President Trump endorses Corning in the next few days. It would have been better if Corning won by five points last night rather than one or whatever it was. And we have the Taur Rico guy now Unleash, who is a menace of the highest order. You know, he's telling Democrats to just do what Josh Shapiro does. chameleon, although I think he actually believes it, this guy. He actually believes the Bible doesn't say anything about abortion so you can abort all you want. It's a woman's choice. The Bible doesn't have the word abortion, doesn't say it. Now, you know how ridiculous this is, and I would say how sacrilegious it is. But you'll have this whole cadre of Democrats who say, we got the Bible back. Your Bible's just hateful. Our Bible's loving. You point out things like abortion. I mean, I say that's loving toward women. I read you a list of what this guy's all about. It is mind-boggling. But here is a little montage. Henry, do you know which one this is for, I think it's a montage for Jasmine Crockett here? Jasmine Crockett will be seen again, I'm sure. probably on MSNBC or something like that. Yeah, here it is. This is cut 21. Here are some of the all-time stylings of former, well, she'll be former representative, Jasmine Crockett.

me and wake me the up because i'm ready to get on with it if you could speak directly to Elon Musk what would you say when i see ice i see slave patrols if someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleached blind bad built butch body that would not be engaging in personalities correct a what now cover The what now? A what now? Can you mention him? These people all together. And that's when Marjorie Taylor Greene was duking it out with her. She could come up because Marjorie has a gym and all that. It was a pretty good line there. Pretty tough. The false eyewashes are a nice touch. When these people get together, it is amazing. All right. Side question today. Hit us with that all-time association, real or fictional with the union. One other quick thing. The Federalist is a pretty conservative outfit. They're headed by people, at least I think Megyn Kelly's, not Megan McCain's husband, who are not pro-Trump. So they've developed three questions that we have to answer in order to say we ought to support this war. I'll summarize them. Here's one. How can you explain now that it's in our interest for the Israeli government to dictate U.S. policy in the Middle East as it pertains to using our military and risking the lives of American men and women on behalf of another country's ambitions? Well, is that a legit question? Is that the premise is wrong? Is that what happened here? We allowed Israel to dictate what happened and what's going to happen? Question two. To what extent does Israel continue to be an asset to the U.S., and to what extent are Americans responsible for the welfare of that country? And here comes the knockout punch, and I want to ask you about. Charlie Kirk said last year that a new war in the Middle East would not be easy, and in fact would be a catastrophic mistake. He credited Trump for his restraint in starting one. Was Kirk wrong? Look. The answer to that is this. There's a lot of upside with Charlie Kirk, particularly his work on college campuses, particularly his martyrdom, and the good that's come as far as spreading the word with Turning Point USA. I don't agree with him on everything. And I'm not even sure how they keep on posturing that Kirk... was very, very suspicious of Israel, suspicious of all this stuff and our involvement with it. And that's why they're using Charlie Kirk. Now, I don't think it's working. I'm looking at the polling. I'm looking at my social media, looking at calls, et cetera. And it's only a few people and sometimes suspect that they're just anti-Israel that say this is the wrong way to go. So the media is looking around for all kinds of things like getting Americans out of there, which I think we ought to be doing, but I don't think we could be tipping people off of what we were going to do early on. So they're beginning evacuation flights in the Mideasties the State Department is. 855, 839, 12, 10, you get a line.

I still think this is a war for America's interest. Sure. It's a war for Israel's interest. And maybe it's a war for the interest of people who want to be free in Iran. But the top interest is America's interest. And that spin on both sides, left and right now, is really fueled by just anti-Trumpism. 855, 839, 12, 10. So those are the three questions. The Federalist is a pretty good barometer of those on the right that are trying to play the Israel card. And the longer this goes on, the more they'll try to say that. This is just being done. Israel is the one calling the tune here. I don't think that's accurate at all. But saying, that the Americans who died or will die, Megyn Kelly and others, they're dying for Israel. This is just reprehensible. I'm kind of surprised there's not more of a revolt against Megyn Kelly. Her audience doesn't strike me as rabidly as quite like Tucker Carlson's. Maybe it is. Maybe there's audience out there in America to be anti-Israel and anti-Semitic. That's what they're playing with here. He definitely is. To say wild stuff about how Vladimir Putin's not so bad. Look at his supermarkets. Remember that stuff with Tucker Carlson. Proposterous. Who is it that is? It's not Alex Jay Jones stuff, but it's mainstream war. But it's the same nonsense. Are millions of Americans actually believing? Our military people died, not defending us, the Constitution of America, but defending Israel or defending Israel, Iran. Are they actually believing that? Where does that come from? They actually believe that Trump, of all people, would go down that path and be led by Benjamin Netanyahu and just protecting Israel's interests? Where's that coming from in a mainstream? I get it, the Nick Fuentes of the world. I even get Tucker Carlson. There's an audience for that stuff. People love conspiracy. You know my line, conspiracy for some is better than sex. An anti-Semitic conspiracy. Oh, God, that is orgasmic. That's beyond the universe. That's what Tucker Carlson, Henry, you know what I knew Tucker Carlson lost his mind. I know you probably weren't watching it, but it was in the news. When he had these guys naked tanning themselves, and he went off that night, how that lower body, you know, tan there, it invigorates you and all this stuff. He did shows on it. Was this on Fox or by himself? On Fox. Oh, man. Yeah. No, it was on Fox. Yeah. You Google it. You'll see what I mean. He didn't. That's what he started pushing the executives. Take me off. Oh, yeah. Well, you know, the numbers were still so strong because of what Arroyo he had built. Well, when he started doing the tanning of men in their genitals, it was like Gabe Kapler did that in Philadelphia. I mean, cocoa butter and all. What do we just think about that.

That's the last thing in a world I'd be advising people to do. He did shows on it. I can remember the one, you know, this guy on a pedestal doing this type of thing. Yeah, it's to boost testosterone. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. All right. 855, 839, 12, 10. And that's a guy Megyn Kelly's going to be hooked up with. And then they are going to be the ecosystem of how MAGA feels. When it comes to this, Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson are right. There are a few others trying to dabble here, you know, because you get a lot of clicks, you get a lot of stuff if you're provocative. Just say any anti-Israel thing you can. But when you, Megyn Kelly, knowing these individuals, we know their names now, they've been out there, their families, their friends, they died in vain. They didn't die for America. I mean, the hurt, the pain, and the consolation of what they did to protect us. She's ripping that away. For what? It's insane. It's sick. It's not just another opinion. It's, it's, I'm glad Hasselback, who look, she can't stand toe to toe with her probably. But I'm glad she's the one that called it out on the view of all places. All right, 855, 839, 12, 10. Coming to your calls. 855, 839, 12.10. Oh, I see some interesting. A name I haven't seen in a while when it comes to the unions. Hit us with something associated with unions. It could be a good one. That's fine, too. You're with Dom, Henry, and Kirk on Talk Radio 12. Lemonade. Fresh squeeze, lemonade. Lemonade? Lemonade? Oh, nuts.

All right, it is Dom time. And you know what, if it were just this subterranean types of influencers, I wouldn't go into all this. But Tucker Carlson is teetering with Dante's nice circle of hell. Megyn Kelly is probably in circle three or four. Candace Owens is at the very bottom. Candace Owens tweeting out, and they support Candace Owens. that, yeah, Israel, we know that you murdered 3,000 Americans on 9-11, for starters. She shared a clip from Tucker Carlson saying from 9-11 to the Levan affair and many in between false flags are the Israeli ways. Now, when these people start with the false flag stuff, okay? False flags are somebody does something and then blames the entity that we want to get out. famously, one of the worst said it was a false flag, those babies murdered in Connecticut by a maniac. Remember that? Coming in, killing first and second graders? And he lost, I don't know if it's a billion dollars or not in a lawsuit. How bad do you have to be? When you have people in pain, you can imagine. Maybe the families, the people, these military people are thinking, well,

You know, we never thought they'd be on the front lines in this war. You always know if you're in the military. You're putting it on the line for the rest of us, just like a cop is. You know it can happen, but it seems to be kind of remote. And then the Megyn Kelly of the world say, and guess what? No solace here. You didn't die for all the heroism and what you think you died for. or putting your life on the line for, you were just putting your life on the line for Israel slash Iran. It just doesn't get any worse than this. And again, I don't know that Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly are household names now or, you know, people that follow media and talk radio and all that, they are household names. Candace Owens has one of the most popular, if you can, Henry Google. like a guesstimate of how many people listen to her podcast. Is she in the top 50 nationwide? According to Mediite, she is one of the most listened to podcast. Who is it that's doing that? Well, there are people that are based upon sheer conspiracy. and mixed in with anti-Israel anti-Semitism. She's got over 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube. Wow. On YouTube. Okay. So relative to Joe Rogan, let's see about 20 million or something like some. I'm sure he dwarfs her, but that is 5.5 million. Yeah. You know, I'd love to see. Joe's it over 20. 20. Okay. I'd love to see who is it. And if you're a listener, do you, well, what's wrong with listening? What's wrong with listening is nothing if you want to waste your time and dabble in that. But I have seen her up close in various stuff, and it's always a charade. Somehow another, she was friendly with Charlie Kirk. So what does she do? She ceaselessly attacks the widow. And again, she's small potatoes, even in five and a half million. It's Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly on this whole thing. And then the media runs with this. and says this proves that the Trump base is anti what's going on in Iran. I don't think they represent that at all. All right. Let's go to Joe and Columbus. Joe on Talk Radio 12th 10. Hey, Joe. Hey, Dom. Happy, well, good afternoon and happy New Year. Okay, thank you, Joe. Dom, these days, I am identifying as a union business rep, and I need to know something. I really need to know something here. Is Kirk part of the audiovisual union and the call screeners union? Because if he's not, he owes us some dues. Yeah, I think. No comment to both. Yeah, there's several sub unions here. I mean, it's such, Joe, you haven't been at it. You have to see this producer's lounge. I don't know that anybody in the country has anything like this. I've seen it live. I've seen it live. Yeah, it's fabulous, isn't it? Yeah, and I wonder if Kurt is just upholding his specific job duties, or is he going above and beyond? Oh, that might be trouble. Henry, I'll get the leg breakers in here if he goes too far up beyond. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We might get that rat out there in front of your studio. Do you know at the old studio at Fiftham Market? They had it out there. And, of course, the ID mean, we got into a little kerfuffle there a couple times. Yeah. Did they hook up the barbecue pit and the Frisbee costs and all that? I like the one where they get confused and the billionaire guys being. strangled by some somebody, some rat, and then they have the rat car, and it gets all kind of confusing. Yeah. It's all theatrics. Yeah. And I got friends who were in the unions, and they swear they built America. And to a man, I tell them, you didn't build America. You gained the system. Your grandfather built America. Your great-grandfather built America. Joe, I mean, it pains me to do this. But, you know, I went off with a positive one. I got to say the union, you just said it. Maybe the grandfathers, what they fought for. did give us America in the sense of the 80-hour day and all that. And then at a certain point, they lost their way to what we have today. Yeah, they over-exploited. Yeah. You know, their levity. The worst joke, the worst is, and I've seen this in the media so many times, your microphone falls off, and the joke in the room, you know, it just comes off a little bit, put it back on. Nope, you can't touch that. It's a union thing. So it could be a new missile's coming our way. Can I hit that button? Nope. You've got to get the union guy in here to hit the button. They're in big trouble if we don't. Yeah, hurry up, get him here. He's having dinner right now. No, my side answer, and it's been the ongoing quandary and question. And they even did a special on it on the Discovery Channel with those two scientists that were so... good together, where they buried a pig in the ground, and they ran ground penetrating radar over it to see if they can identify a body. And then they were granted access to the home of the New York, the New Jersey Giants to see if Jimmy Hoffa was buried under the Meadowlands. That is a great one. That is a great one. Henry, I have a little side hobby, too. I don't know if it'd be a side. These people that try to prove something, the lengths are going to go to or discover it. Best example I can, it's rumored that Mickey Mantle hit a home run. This woman that did the Mantle book, he allegedly fell her up as she was doing the interview. She says in the book. But anyhow, it was 565 feet is what they projected. She got engineers, scientists. All the calibrations. She went to MIT and all. And they did say they think it was 565. And it apparently ticked the scoreboard in the senator's stadium. Right. How's that possible to go 565 and you tick the scoreboard a little bit? Yeah. Insane. Yeah. Well, Mickey Mantle. Once in a lifetime shot. Yeah. Yeah. It's legendary beyond belief. But I like people that are willing to go to any level.

like Geraldo without Capone's fault, you know, to get to the bottom of something. Even if he might be disappointed. Yeah, even if he might be disappointed. All right. By the way, sports story of the day. I don't know how many of remember. His name is unimportant, but this is a former Springfield Little League president. Two years after being removed from his role, he had in a viral airplane stunt, he had the airplane fly over the game. divided the Montgomery County community. They're organizing to keep Paul Greenberg from returning to the league's dugout. Apparently, he had a dispute with another parent who led the group about not playing the playoff games for the Little League because of the travel team wanting to do something. Yeah, I mean, you have playoffs at the beginning of the year. You can't just be doing it. And it got so bad that he flew the, he had a plane fly over the field attacking the other parent during the game. Wow. Loser. So apparently now there are, there's new management there. And I'm waiting to see. If you happen to see this, let me know. They said they had a meeting last night. They might put them back in. Now, wait a minute. You're flying planes over attacking another parent during a little league game. I think you need more than two years in the core. before we let you back in to be engaged in this. Kids. Like, I'm sorry not everyone's good enough to play on the travel team here and they want to play in the playoffs. What a joke. Let the travel team kids go then and let these kids have their playoffs. And that's the type of stuff that's killing little leagues across the country. Yeah, exactly. Nonsense parents with their ridiculous ideas like that. But this is an all-timer. When you're paying to fly a plane over during the game, slow plane over. naming. I wish I could read what he said here. What did he say with this? I have to Google it. I don't see what the flyover said. One parent said, we teach our children actions have consequences when you do something wrong. You own it. You apologize. You make amends. The same holds for adults. Certainly for those who want to lead and coach our children. But, you know, how long is too long to be kicked out for? But imagine if you're the other parent, you're sitting there, and the plane's flying over with this banner. Do you see what it says or now? I have to get a magnify. Yeah, it's behind a paywall here. Oh, oh, okay. I can't read this. I'll be interested. He does name the parent. And I think he says something like, blame this guy. His name is Zach Magid or something. Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, right. And the audacity of paying, that could be like $1,200 flying a plane over during the game with the kids down there watching this. And he's calling the dogs out on this guy. I wonder what it was like watching that game as that went on. My God, that's pretty intense. I hope they won the championship after that. Yeah, well, it will be interesting to see if Springfield puts them back in.

after this. All right, 855, 839, 12, 10. We're coming to your call, side question, Joe's with Goodwin, unions, things associated with it. And this whole Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, they're allowing the media to say that the average conservative, average Trump supporter, does not support this law, war, that they see this as solely about Israel. And they're tired of it. I don't sense that at all. How much influence do these people have? Well, she's got a $5 million on YouTube. Tucker Carlson probably has that. Megyn Kelly and all over enterprises. But is this just one audience that's crazed and doesn't reflect a bigger audience? I don't know what Joe Rogan has said about this. He's not exactly informed when it comes to something like this. So he'll think, you know what, be against it. People like that type of stuff. Say it's Israel. Get on some crazy guess that says that. And away we go. 855 839, 1210. You get a line right now with Dom. The podcast Campus Files is back with more stories of scandal, crime, and intrigue on college campuses. Campus Files, available now wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. It is Dom time, 855, 839, 1210, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless. All that you have to do is push pound 1210. This is cut nine. Senator John Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from Louisiana. I had to follow, no, I had to think I didn't have to follow him. I had to introduce him at the Dr. Oz event. Following this guy is impossible. He is very, very entertaining. Here's what he said yesterday in some of the testimony about the Ayatollah using a football reference, cut nine. I think the president did the right thing. What, six, seven presidents have talked about it. He did it. I would, we don't know what's going to happen, but I would call it success if for no other reason. but that Kamani is dead. He, the Ayatollah won the corn toss and he elected to receive. And, you know, my feeling is, may he rest in pieces. He was a brutal dictator. All right, maybe you don't take the ball then. You know, he's taking it in the second half. The Ayatollah should have realized that. He got confused. Hasn't he been watching the NFL over the last year? Yeah, the new kickoff rule. He probably didn't like it just like Trump. A pretty good line. All right, Lance in South Philly on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Lance. How you doing, Dom? Hi. And, uh...

I want to take you down memory laying real fast if I get to my side question. When you talk about when Christy was in the studio, I did hear the interview with you and him. But there was one even better that I thought he was going to come through the radio. It's when Irv Homer had Fred called you during the Grace Fairy riots in 1998. And he didn't, he didn't get between y'all. He just let you and Fred just go at it. I literally had to pull my truck over and listen to it. You remember that? Yeah, absolutely. Was that the... Go ahead. Everyone would think Fred was a big black dude, but actually he was a small, light skin guy. He was a union carpenter, believe it or not. Uh-huh. Yeah, well, you know, that's one of the most memorable days, Lance, when they had the Louis Farrakhan coming to town. I was lifted over the railing of the house of the woman and her son who had been attacked in Grace Ferry by the neighborhood black organization that was protecting them. Then Herve Homer started getting into it with them, and I'm sitting there having tea with them at their kitchen table surrounded by people. Just think what that was like. I was there. Yeah. I was there. I was right across the street. I was in the field. Okay. What a day in Philadelphia. Unbelievable. That was a crazy day. That was a crazy day. But my side question is, nothing says, Yulian, more than a good chance. Hey, hey, ho, they got to go. What do we want? More solid. When do we want it now? No justice, no peace. That's it for me. It's the chance. It is the chance. That is a great one. Yeah. And most of the times with the Iranian stuff, it's a woman that does it now. They don't have guys doing the chant. Oh. Yeah. Goldie, Goldie, who can't hide? And you kept on, you do, out. During the thing with the restaurant, it was around, what was the dispute? Was it Iraq then? It's a famous one where Josh Shapiro even got involved with the anti-Semitic stuff that was going on here at Penn and college campuses, the lockup and all. But the way should we go, you can't high. The bullhorn is not an easy thing to work. You got to get to. I was about to say that. The bullhorns are now more prevalent now. Yeah, you got to keep your hand on it and all that. It's an instrument that needs a lot of practice. All right, Will and Phoenixville. Hey, Will. Good afternoon. And good afternoon to you, and this is a pleasure to talk to you. This is the second time I called in the station. Well, thank you, Will. It was about the Super Bowl the first time in the crazy halftime show, and I supported Turning Point and watched the show. Okay. And about a week later, this is where I came to defend the woman, Dawn. I cared about her so much. There was some creep that called.

and was like saying, oh, you support a pedophile and blindsided or got on the radio and called her a pedophile supporter about Trump, and that was so wrong. And I always care and support women. I don't even know, but that are out there in the media, and that's why I'm calling to support Megyn Kelly a bit. Well, I think that's a stretch, is it not? How about the wife of these people and the husband? of these people that were killed protecting you and me will how about the defense of them against this shameless attack okay i'll accept that but i'll say about making kelly that the best speech i heard this year for the camp well it was actually more than a year ago when she spoke the night before the election in pittsburgh She spoke about how this has been bullshit with Kamala Harris and the way that we're getting marginalized as white men. So, like, if you saw that speech, you'd be like she was right on fire and was the night before the election, she flew in from New York. And she came over there and spoke on the behalf. But I mean, this whole thing with Tucker Carlson and her will, it's going well too far. You've got to come back and say, look, I was wound up. I still think Israel involved. I shouldn't have brought the military who laid down their lives. They were protecting us. And to try to cause more pain around that is abominable. Okay, but what price is what her and Marjorie Taylor Greene were talking about. I listened to their podcast on months. And they were saying, on what cost? most people really give a darn about their current expenses. Most people can afford insurance because it skyrocketed. And so if we go to war and we have to pay not only for what we do over there, but to repair everything, that would be kind of questionable. Why would we have to do that? Why shouldn't Israel do that themselves? It's a good question to ask, Dom. Well, wait a minute. That last question about repairing Iran and all that. That's reasonable. They have oil reserves. I think Trump would take it. I think Trump would take it from there. I think he's the oil to pay for it. That's what Bush should have done too. Right. If you're going to have a war, then you take oil, just like Bill Gates should be taken. All of his assets should be taken because of what he did, Epstein Island. He should just like, and then we'll, then we could pay for some things in America if we take it from these. Well, look, I'm in agreement with the payment part, but we're talking about inflicting pain on those families saying they did this just for Israel and Iran.

It's pretty clear to me we had a huge interest in stopping him from having a bomb. I agree to a great extent. But also what they said in the proper perspective was I don't know that their family signed up to do that when it could have been for America, not for the Middle East. They're supposed to protect America. That's what Megyn Kelly and Marjorie Taylor Greene were talking about. Well, wait a minute, but, Will, we're not living in a world where at the end of our land anymore when we talk about America first. There are interests that do impact us, and that's always the test. That's a critical test. And I don't think Megyn Kelly is breaking it down as calmly as you did to say, all right, is this protecting America? I happen to think it is pretty clearly. I hope. Because I love you both. I listen to you both on the radio, well, her podcast, your radio. And I'm a big fan of you's both. I just wouldn't want to have this woman not be defended because I really, at the heart lever, like I love Dawn. It's just like, and I got my own wife. Okay, I got you. 26 years, I just have enough affection for these women that are so brave and stick up for men, and especially to marginalized men in this world. Thank you, Will. Thank you. Thank you. I'm glad you call. Thank you, Will, very much. Look, it's the Tucker Carlson connection. It's the Candace Owens connection. And it's, I mean, my guy, talk about women. Who comes to the aid? of Erika Kirk. For these just scurrilous reports and savagery going after her, she's hooking up with JD Vance because we can't have an Indian white stuff like this. How Candace Owens has five and a half million people tells you there's a market for some of this stuff. But Megyn Kelly, I've thought, all right, I know the recent stuff of Tucker Carlson's more mainstream. I don't think so. You cannot go after. these people who have laid down their life to protect America and say, as she did, we played it multiple times. They did it for Israel or Iran. That's just not true. Do they have interest there that coincide with ours? Yes. All right. Phone lines are 855-3-9-1210. Grab a line, jump on board on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, gang, it's Jill Schlesinger.

Progressive women. Your words are garbage and you're a bad person at this point. Gone wild. All right, I got a special one here. One breaking news, though, President Trump is about to ask either Paxson or John Cornyn to drop out of the race. I'll quote, I will be making my endorsement soon. We'll be asking the candidate that I don't endorse to immediately drop out of the race. Is that fair? We must win in November. We have an easy to beat radical left opponent. We have to totally focus on putting them away quickly and decisively. Both Ken and John Wren, great races, but not good enough. Now, this one must be perfect. My endorsement within the Republican Party have been virtually insurmountable. Well, I would agree with that. So I think whoever doesn't get, I think he's going to give it to John Cornyn. I know we have to posture and say, James Talarico, this far, far left is, you know, going to be beaten. I don't know about that. This is the type of guy that's got this stick going on at the media loves. Okay. Progressive women gone wild. So we have Joy Reid, YouTube.com slash 1210. That Welsh woman, the woman with the sour face, does a big podcast and interior designing on the side. And the friend who just nods her head in agreement at every vicious thing she says, Joy Reed and that woman together. Now that is a podcast. Here's how it sounds. Motivates them. So. They can't have the successor to Maga be the guy with the brown Hindu wife. They're also Christian nationalist. That ain't going to work. That's why he's throwing his wife under the bus or Usha. Or she's in on it, right? And she's playing slap and tickle with Erika Kirk's the weirdest shit I've ever seen. Yeah, she's like in her Tammy Fay era. Okay. Holding on the back of his head and rubbing on his head. Some weird shit. Baby. Don't do that to Jason. I'm going to start thinking something's going on. Why are you holding the bigger his head? I'm like, you're not doing that. right thing. You're supposed to be a widow. You're in leather pants. Yeah. That's not widow wear. Could you imagine if wouldn't it be the most perfect fairy tale, maga fairy tale? Yeah. If he finally sees the light that he needs a white queen instead of this brown Hindu. I mean, I'm not saying that's happening. Right. Or maybe that Ush is not even in on it. Maybe she's whatever. But that's he, that's one entrant. Another entrant is Frank All right. So there is the latest. And that woman has a pretty good podcast following on the left. She just the face is the most miserable, wretched. I like how the sidekick. The only thing she contributed to that conversation was, yeah.

Usually she nodded with it. Yeah, don't get me wrong. But she's doing it. Yeah. Let's talk about the interior design. Sing it, sister. And Joy Reid now. This woman's so big, Joy Reid tags in with her. All right. Coming up, we're going to talk with somebody we talked before is a Green Beret. Served for 13 years on the Office of Secretary of War and the Iraq Task Force and is in the media at this point. I want to ask him about the media coverage of this and where we are. The support is still strong. Now, if this goes on for weeks, well, then will it lessen? 855-839-12-10. General Kane talking this morning about now moving more inland, deeper into Iran, to disable. their launchers, et cetera. But so far, everybody concedes it's true. They do have command and control somehow or another. We'll see. We'll talk with him. Big money melody today. I don't think it's in Farsi or Finish, but I'm not sure. Oh, might be in both. We'll see. Oh, my God. I thought Dan was crazed. All right, 855, 839, 12, 10. You get in right now. Dom Giudano, weekdays, noon till 3, from Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. All right, welcome in, everyone. It is Dom time. Mark Vargas joined us before. He's the editor-in-chief at the Illinois Review. He served on the Iraq Task Force, I believe, for about, what, carried it to, 13 years or so. And, yeah, from 7 to 07 to 20, the Office of the Secretary of War joins us to talk about the latest, the overall premises. And I think some of the, given what he does now, he's a green beret, former green beret, well, always a green beret to me. And the coverage of this as we move forward, which is all important, Mark joins us on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Mark, welcome back. It's been quite a while, but thank you for joining us. Dom, I appreciate all the promotions, but I have to make it clear. I was a civilian in Iraq, was not in the military and was there for three years, but saw enough. and know enough now to be able to answer all of your questions that I think adequately. Okay, it's fine. Sorry, misinformation agent, I apologize. So, Mark, what stands out to you at this point? as far as this operation, how do we measure how successful it is? Because the clock, as you know, is always ticking on this as far as it can't go on forever, given attention span, immediate attacks, etc. What do you say at this point? Well, for starters, you know, seeing the celebrations throughout the world of Iranians,

celebrating the fact that the Ayatollah was taken out was remarkable and historic. And it proved to me right off the bat that the Iranians are now more pro-American than our own Democrat Party who continue to attack and object to taking out the Iranian regime. But let's call it what it is. They've been a state sponsor of terrorism for 40 years. Over 600 U.S. service members. are dead because of Iran. They've funded terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. and Houthi. I mean, Hamas uses women and children as human shields. They launch rockets and mortars off of the tops of schools and hospital buildings because they dare you to strike back and kill innocent people, women and children. These were a menace, and President Trump had the testicular fortitude to do what no other president has done but should have done. And that was to cut off the head of the snake. President Trump campaigned on and he talked about in his inaugural speech about being a peacemaker this is how you do it we cannot create peace throughout the world we cannot create peace here at home without taking out the head of the snake and that is the iranian regime who have consistently consistently uh been behind terrorist attacks a thousand one thousand terrorist attacks uh can be traced back to iran funding and coordinating just since 2006 alone This was important for the world, important for America, and everybody's going to be safer because of it. Now, Mark, you were boots on the ground in Iraq, though, so you know more than I, I mean, have only been to Israel. How difficult it is, though, the aftermath of this, the president was, in his own way, he was weaving in and out pretty clear of how he hopes this turns out that we have somebody friendly to the American government there. What is it that would be acceptable coming out of this after all this blood and treasure? One of the things that I worked on in Iraq with our military and civilian and contractors as well collectively was how do you convert a war front into a storefront? And we had great success in Iraq on that until a guy named Barack Hussein Obama became president and wanted to dismantle all of the work that had been done to secure that country. And then overnight, the entire place unraveled. But what's different here is that we've got support from the Gulf region. Saudi Arabia and Bahrain and Kuwait and UAE and Jim Jordan and obviously Israel. We've got a collective and widespread support in the region who have real skin in this game and wanting to see an Iranian government stand up that is democratic, that doesn't kill and torture its own people, that provide equal rights to women. And so I think, you know, there's a lot of the Iraq comparisons.

This isn't even comparing apples and oranges. Okay, well, let me interject on Mark and say, though, if I had to say with our listeners, what you just said is all noble, sounds like nation building to them. They reject that. And President Trump even yesterday was saying. They would accept, if I had to analogize, it seems to be something like Venezuela, where we have an authoritarian, the vice president in there, but she's not moving against our interests. There's stability. You seem to think to be a win after the war that it would have to go beyond that. Well, we do need to have some stability. And we do have to have a government created and put in place that certainly is not going to be going back to the old ways. And certainly we're going to influence that. That's the truth. I mean, this is what happens in these regimes in these countries that have been decimated by their own government rule for so long. But again, I go back to the fact that there's a lot of players in that region that have real skin in the game. And it's not just about playing nice with the United States, about playing nice with all those other countries that I just mentioned. And believe me, all of those leaders there and those Arab countries want to see Iran stand up with a government that is not pro-terrorist, a government that's pro-democracy, pro-freedom. And more importantly, ensuring that the money is cut off. to fund all these terrorist organizations. And Mark, I would agree with you on the terrorism thing, but I'd have to, you know, I think I'm more cautious on, again, what you said from these other countries, because they're not democracies. They're not democracies, but they haven't wreaked the havoc and destruction that has come out of Iran. They're not funding terrorist organizations actively going out trying to kill U.S. service members. And so, sure, the United States stands alone in terms of our democratic values, and we are certainly leading this campaign. But, you know, at the end of the day, it's going to be in everybody's interest. to have a government in place that is friendly to the West, that doesn't shout out and cry death to America and death to the West, and a country that's not going to antagonize those in the region. Think about this, Dom. Why do we have U.S. bases in that region? It's to protect those countries from attacks from Iran and to protect U.S. allies and protect U.S. interests. Iran was such a dangerous regime. And I think that, again, we're going to be better off with their leaders gone. But it's important that we stand up a regime government and we assist in sending up a government that's going to be friendly to our allies and friendly to the West. Absolutely. Mark, thank you. Thanks very much. Please come back again. We'll talk. My pleasure. Thank you. Thank you. Mark Vargas here. Look.

I am not going to just, you know, this is somebody. We're in the pipeline for great guests like this served in Iraq. But no, I don't think we'll all do respect to Mark. And you can probably hear that. These other nations that are going to be friendly there. I mean, look, we have to deal with these people. Qatar, I get how the world is. But, I mean, they have money. They have oil. They are reprehensible. Saudi Arabia. It's just, you. The sports washing, you know, I can't even look at some of these golfers, John Rom and others that go with them and carry that out. But that's the way the world is. That's what it is. But as our goal there that suddenly these people will be free, the rights of women and all that, I don't think it is. It's a little bit of a lesser. We learn the lesson of trying to rebuild there. And I think it's more like Venezuela. That's what President Trump is suggesting, which is somebody who's not going to be plotting nuclear Iran, going to be launching ballistic missiles or building that up. They're not going to have the capability to do that. And hopefully over the course of time, you will see there will be reforms. Now, I guess the one that worked out the best is what MacArthur did in Japan after World War II. Look at their society now versus then. But it's much harder to do it in a place like this. We've seen it with Iraq. And Americans are not, Mark just seemed to me to be more nation building. And I think people are, I'm very wary of that. If the American people believe that's what we're doing here, they're going to get upset that these are not America first. This is nation building. So hopefully people of Iran will be freer. But I don't think that's the way that we would delineate victory here. Victory is they're not a threat to us first, nuclear, ballistic missiles, terrorism against us and around the world. Secondarily, over the course of time, these other things happen. Would that be what victory looks like here? 855, 839, 12, 10, that's how you get in. So we'll bring you guests where we don't fully agree. I don't fully agree with Mark on that. His experience in Iraq, I don't think Iraq ever worked. It wasn't just Obama. There are certain countries where it's going to be very difficult to build a nation. That's why America is so exceptional. There are very few places where it's going to exactly work that way. I mean, even the UK. I know they're not in direct control, but they still have royalty, and they seem to like that. There's something they like about that. I don't know that we would. So democracy there in the Middle East, very difficult. Israel is the exception. Let's go to Zenos in Upper Darby on Talk Radio 12thead. Hey, Zenos. Good afternoon, Dom, and happy New Year. Thank you, Scott.

Happy New Year to everybody then. Not only you to everybody. Tom. You make a meal. Wait a minute. Henry's got a union representative in there talking about no happy New Year. It's passed. Sorry, Zinos. I don't want to deal with these guys. They have no necks here. Well, you're going to have to put that to a vote with the rack and file. So it's going to be that. Wait until L.A. Easter time is over with Tom. You're going to get one from me. It's called Christosa Nasty. He means God has risen. We're supposed to say that for 40 days after. Oh, man. We're looking forward to that one. Yes. You'll see it, Tom. You'll hear me. I'm not done yet. But I'm going to make it before I get to the side answer. Can I make a comment about that guy in Texas, the holy man that thinks he is? Yes. he says there is nowhere written about abortion yes there is if he looks at the ten commandments it says i shall not kill Kill means there's a difference between kill and murder. Kill in the Ten Commandments is you should not kill anybody that's innocent. Murder is a premeditated. So this guy is wrong. I don't know where he was ordained, but he was probably ordained with the guy with the pitchfork. Wow. Okay. Well, yeah, I don't think it would be in your church. Yeah, this is a Presbyterian outfit, bit progressive in Texas. Yeah. Well, I don't know if that's what they believe in. They better go reexamine the Old Testament because in the Old Testament God is vengeful. What he's doing is sacrilege as far as I'm concerned. It is in there. You just have to look for it. And, Dom, you know you went to Catholic school. You know about that stuff. Oh, absolutely. And I know about it because what I was taught in Sunday school and what our gospel says every day about that. It's in there. He just doesn't want to look for it. I would tell you, this guy, James Talarico, so off, he doesn't even believe in the milk bottle. You know, the mortal and venal sin, I mean sacrilege beyond belief. Don, this guy's not a Christian. His... His religion is socialism and the left of the Democrat Party. That's his religion. Because this guy, when he's telling you, and it says in the Bible, beware of false prophets in the apocalypse, he's the false prophet. He is, and that's why he's dangerous. What's your side does, Enos? Okay, my side today, Dom, is United Artists. in Hollywood, which was by Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pigford, and a few of the other of them actors. They're the ones that started the United Artists. And, Dom, make no mistake about the majority of them, they were all communists. Thank you, Zeno. Sorry to cut you. I might just too quick on the trigger. Thank you, Zeno. Oh, God. What a travel on. By the way, mentioning James Talarico again.

You know what the play is here, but he's better at it. You'll see this. I'd love to get James Talarico on. I'd have to bring him a bunch of, I want a stack of Bibles behind me. You better be ready for that. Read up on your scripture. I want Sodom and Gamara behind me. He is what the play they made with Walls. Remember the play with Walls is vice president. He'll reach white man. He's a honor. He looked like Elmer Fudd. Did I shoot a pussycat and all that stuff? He said he does ice fishing, and then he was a football coach. And I know Henry, during that period of time, you diagnosed his defense. He wasn't exactly All-Star. No, no, he's got to, he had it done exactly. You just run the pick six play every time, and you'll win. Yeah, okay. So they tried to have with walls. James Talarico is trying to tap into that. But I do see his strength, at least so far, rural. Latino in Texas, and then the media loves the Bibles. And a big lie. He was kept off Stephen Colbert because he's such a hot commodity when really it was an equal time thing. They didn't want to put Jasmine Crockett and another guy on, so they couldn't put him on. But they keep on with the lie how dangerous he is. Look, I believe in telling you, The opponent, are they a menace? Are they difficult to beat? I think this guy's difficult to beat in Texas. I think it's back to 1996 or so where they've had a Democrat senator. But this guy could do it. And I think Trump is going to endorse John Cornyn to take out Paxson. And Wesley Hunt, those votes, I still think will go to a Republican. I think John Cornyn will beat him. But he is a threat. And if he wins, the Senate could be in balance and he'll be a threat in Washington. And already they're saying, well, why can't Democrats learn from this? Well, look, this guy sees this as his schick. So he studies the Bible and comes up with these preposterous things. Can you imagine Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quoting the Archangel and all that to talk about abortion? I don't see that any time. Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom. That's what we need to do it.

And Lance had the answer of chance and songs and such. Right. Got me thinking, hey, what's a good song that people associate with those unions? And how about this song, which side are you on? So I'm going to play you that song today. I want to know the band singing that song. Some notes about this band. They're from the Boston area, and you commonly hear them play around St. Patrick's Day. So, yeah, so let's take a listen here. I want to know the name of this band covering which side are you on.

Boston area band, Tom. Yeah, and look, you know, I know it's divisive. Which side are you on? But it's effective. Yeah. I'll read you Tower Rico coming up. What he says is Christianity. I have like 10 statements, 10 commandments from him. Maybe not 10. I have 9. I don't even want 10. And we'll ask you, which side are you on? Do you agree with these? Is that divisive? No. It's perfectly. Are you on the union side or not? That's the way the world is. I agree with them, even though, you know, not every principle of this. Hit us with that, and you are off to the Metro Diner with a $50 gift card. 855, 839, 1210. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. It's the money melody. Money Melody. All right, so what's here today's clue? Hear them around St. Patrick's Day, Don. Yeah, that's about the only time I do hear them. But I love the idea of which side are you on. Now, sometimes things are nuanced a little bit, you know, and it might be a little bit here and there, but it's pretty clear to me with the war. Are you on Megyn Kelly slash Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens side? are on the side of rationality. Jerry and Wilmington, though, let's get an answer to the question. Hi, Jerry. Who's the group? Hi, Don. Can you hear me okay? Yeah, loud and clear. Yeah, those hints, the last two days are pretty good. I'm going to go with Dropkick Murphy's. It is Dropkick Murphy. There you go. Jerry and Wilmington, off to the Metro Diner. Okay. We got that going on. So, again, that is a perfect union song. That's today's side question, which is coming off a couple things that happened yesterday talking about unions, a person-placer thing that is associated with it that jumps out to you. Now, whose side are you on? I would say the actual Bible, even though it gets mangled by people on the right or seminarian, and soon he'll be a minister. Democrat nominee James Talarico. Here's some of his beliefs. He thinks the Torah tells you how to get an abortion. He thinks the trans community needs abortion too. This is all biblical. He thinks there are six genders. Well, that's not. He thinks God is non-binary. That's apparently some part of the Bible. Leviticus, just yell out anything with this. He thinks the Bible supports gay marriage. He thinks Jesus supported abortion because he talked to and was kind to women. He thinks the story of Mary's enunciation is proof that God supports abortion. Whose side are you on here? Now, I know a lot of this stuff seems ludicrous, but this guy is better than Wall, certainly, in projecting himself. And somehow another, in rural Texas, he seems to do pretty well. And that's always something Democrats have to deal with. Do I think he'll beat John Cornyn, though? No. Do I think he could beat Paxon? Yes. And that's where the threat is here. And Democrats trying to take this from now, they can't execute it really.

Their version of the Bible is to just say there are no rules. This is just about love and do whatever you want. And you would think you would think you'd stick away from the abortion thing. You know, if you want to attack, here's the line of attack. I get what Tower Rico's doing. If you want to say these Republican preachers, you know, guys like Mike Johnson or some of the more, you know, pounding on the Bible side are about There's no love and kindness there. And you want to say that's what Jesus is about. Okay, he can mind that. But this guy, he is one of the biggest advocates of men, boys in female sports. And he seems to be saying it's religiously based. Wow. And you're saying, how does this fly? Well, he's knowledgeable about it. He's more articulate. He's not an Elmer Fudd, a dope like walls. And that's why, if you want to beat him, you have to recognize he's got a shot even in Texas. Because then it gets down to out of the two, John Cornyn or Paxon, Paxon more MAGA, Paxon more conservative. Do you go with him, even if everything that I can see indicates he could lose versus John Cornyn, who's Brian Fitzpatrick on steroids in the Senate? will probably win as a much greater chance, I think, but then you've got to put up with them. In other words, Paxson would be more in keeping with Trump. I will tell you, Trump is going to go with John Cornyn, and he's going to do it soon. They've already spent a gazillion dollars killing each other. That's money that can be spent in other places and certainly not killing each other now for another two-month runoff. So that's the playing field, and I think it'll happen pretty quickly. Do you say, no, no, Trump ought to go with the guy who's more MAGA here. Remember what the stakes are. They win Texas. That is very significant, hugely significant. We talk about that all the time. He would be a VP candidate at that point, I think, on their side. And I know to us, it's crazy talk what he's saying about the Bible. But as I said, he's more effective. He at least has studied it. He's a seminarian to be a minister. So he can quote enough stuff. And he seems to believe in what he's saying, which is even crazier. And he will go through the Bible and cherry pick and spin. But think about it. I mean, how many of these ministers, the TV ministers I'm thinking of it, how many of them cherry pick and spin something provocative to say that's what it's really all about. That's how you get on TV. That's how you get a wider audience. And that's what this guy does from the other side. It's just that he's not a walls. He would be more difficult to beat. Okay, coming up, something associated with the unions. National, here locally, and we're in the capital of unions, or a person. Henry had Cesar Chavez, I had Hafa. Let's get some good ones here. Let's get a winner and get your name into the hat. 8558, 8, 3, 9, 12. Tomorrow, the 1 o'clock hour is power hour in studio. Alante McCauley, fresh off another appearance tomorrow in City Council.

What could happen? Well, we'll have that narrowy part of the show, I think. And then General David Petraeus, who has been speaking out about the Iranian situation. And as far as I know, in the cuts I've seen, has been very clear about why do this, it was correct. And again, I would have loved to have seen him running for president back when I knew him. But I'm very glad he's coming on again. And being around him at that point was to me as close as imaginable. Now, Henry, as I told you too, you got to put up with it. These are maniacs. Every sniper in the world's looking for him. I'm probably the worst. I didn't see bulletproof ass. He said, I can't wear them running. Not that I asked for one. I didn't want to. And we're running over this brush with rocks and everything else. And I'm telling you, I'm three miles in. I didn't run three miles, certainly at that pace. I would have walked in and run a little bit more. Oh, it looks like Dom can't keep up. I'm thinking you, I can't keep up. What would have been better? Continue to the end and throw up or get out of there? Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, you've got to continue the end. Oh, and throw up. Throw up. Yeah, with these women, we're with usis running here and road scholars laughing at me. Sure. Sir, shall we clean them up here to drag them back to your house? Oh, my God. Never do that again. You know, I lied. I don't remember running a mile in eight minutes. I don't know if I, you know, could you run a mile in eight minutes? No. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty. I've never been exactly a long distance guy. Okay. And we're three miles in. I don't even know where I am. And I'm saying, what did I get into? And they're talking, talk, talk, talking. That'd be the tough part, the taffing. Yeah, they're talking, wanting a response. Well, Dom, if I did this. Even the striders, the stuff they were doing to get ready and the stretching. And I'm like, oh, I'm like, I don't do that. Did you stretch beforehand? And here's the worst. I did not have jeans on. See, that's what threw me off. I had running shorts on. If I had the jeans on, I could have done at least another mile. That's my natural type of thing. Denham gives you superpowers. Right. That's why I have to hang out with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. I mean, I never, and denim, do I jump into a cold tub as he did. Now, that's a maniac. You can imagine with that guy. Swowing down whole milk as you're doing laps or something. Yeah. All right, 855, 839, 12, 10. AT&T and Verizon Wireless, all you have to do is just push. Pound 12-10, we're coming to you next. Let's talk Dr. Benz for a moment. One thing I really appreciate about Dr. Bentz, he doesn't offer just one solution. Been my guy, my dentist, 11 years, Dr. Bentz and his group have not one but two board-certified prostodontas with the arrival of Dr. Benz's daughter, Dr. Emily Benz.

So not only do they offer the best options, they offer more times to fit your schedule now with two of them there. I completed a dental implant with Dr. Bents, and I've told you about that, how thorough, precise it was, the options that were offered, and how successful it's been. And Dr. Bence understands that every patient, every smile is unique. Your implant journey starts with a comprehensive diagnosis, advanced imaging and technology paired with years of hands-on experience because each one's different. And he figures that out along with the latest. It's a perfect combination of analysis and then the art of Dr. Bens. You put them together. You got a great dentist. You got a great care that you're going to get. It's about getting the smile you really want and the strongest dental health. Why not get that initial look-see? You'll see what I mean the Ben's difference with that initial evaluation. Call 610272-6949. Visit Benz Dental Group, B-E-N-T-Z Dental Group.com. Benz Dental Group, say it with a smile. Tom, Giordano, on Talk Radio 1210. WP. All right, Dom Gier Danos show. So pretty heated Caitlin Susan Collins today and spokesperson Levitt over this idea of reporting our war dead in the Iranian war, which it is. I mean, yeah, I realize for reasons with the Senate and all, you don't want to call it that, but it is. I mean, it's big time. So trying to work out on my own mind, a metric. We always know the media once to go after Trump or at least large numbers of them do. But we are losing and the guesstimate is sadly that we'll have other casualties. I can't say that I've seen the media overreporting this, but I'm suspect of it. I'm looking for it as far as the cost it's here. And it's not that it's saying the linkage comes in. And that's why I went after Megyn Kelly so much today. The Megyn Kelly linkage, this is Israel they're dying for, and so they're dying for Iran. Let me go to Mike and Ardmore. Hey, Mike, good afternoon. John, how are you doing? Good. Don, you know, let me ask you some. It's all gets down to common sense again, right? I'd rather stay, I'd rather be alive and not get hit by an atom bomb than worrying about if I'm doing this for the Iranians or Jerusalem. He said this from the very beginning. This is about our protection. What don't they get? Well, okay, but yeah, that's what the Trump position is, and I think it's solid, but it's fine to debate, is it about that? In other words, would we have to worry about the Iranians with that and all that? And then Trump makes a case, if they got a nuclear bomb, we woke up with that, they would use it. And I think that's solid, too, based upon what they've said. And that would set off a chain reaction that we don't know where it ends.

Well, you know, this is the fact that matters. You know, if Trump found a cure for cancer, they would be still pissed off, you know. So it doesn't matter what he does. I think I'd rather take, I'd rather take the chance and error on the side that they don't have nuclear weapons, you know? And that's our, that's protected America first. I mean, what, you know what I mean? Complain after the war. This war is going to be over. But I think it's a good cause because, you know, because of the... Nuclear stuff. I mean, come on. Exactly. Thank you, Mike. Well, look, 47 years and given Trump's personality, mine like it in this, am I going to every day wake up with the Iranians, more terrorism, more IDs, more Hezbollah, more stuff around the world that they're doing, killing Americans also. And every day we have to worry, and you can ever be certain. that they have a nuclear weapon or they're close to it. And according to Steve Witkoff, and according to even the Iranian sources, even today, they said, one of their spokesmen said, we have this amount of fissionable material, and yeah, we still want to make a nuclear weapon. I mean, this is what they're about. And it's not like North Korea. As crazy as that is, they don't seem to have the idea religious. I likened it to... You know, you can make the arguments. They just didn't have the power. They tried to assassinate Hitler, the Germans. We saw some of that. The Japanese, you didn't see that with the emperor. There was a religious basis to that. It was going to be much more difficult. So when you take a look at what goes on here with Iran and a nuclear weapon versus even North Korea. It's a better bet, as bad as North Korea is. And we don't want to live with that, but that mistake was made with Clinton and others, and now we have it. You cannot make that mistake with the Iranians. Saudi Arabia will then want to bomb. And you know where this goes, on and on, and they have the money to do it. So, yes, that case is compelling. Megyn Kelly is despicable for bringing up those lives and saying they died for Israel. That is almost a blood liable there. All right, Gary in Newtown. Gary is on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Gary. There's a way exciting. Oh, good. You know, we haven't done that in a while. I should have said that today, Henry. We used to do the rat patrol due to the rats, so he's out there. The Philadelphia Union's no longer using the rat. They haven't heard about it. They still are. Oh, okay. We need a sighting. It's out there somewhere then. Grant the Boulevard. Granting the Boulevard. Oh, it is. All right. He comes in sound effects. Yeah. Have a good day, guys. All right, so the inflatable rat. Okay, Granin the Boulevard. Gran in the Boulevard is famous for what? It is the site, and this goes back, I believe, to WWDB days. Could it be that long ago? We have to Google it. The first red light camera in the Philadelphia area. As I remember it, it's a Bermuda Triangle.

You know, and we just play Dropkick Murphy. Whose side are you on? I'm on the side of none of these cameras anywhere, that it's all ridiculous and they keep on incrementally adding it. Henry, when you come in to work, how many do you pass? Do you know? Oh, man. Trying to think at least two. Two, you think? Maybe. Because I'm not on broad that long. Okay. Yeah, maybe three. I'll say three. All right. I think two, because I'm traveling near, you know, the train station, but also the art museum when I come down to drive. Yeah. There's one right there. I tents up. I'm not moving through that light. I don't care what happens. There might be one right there. Oh, yeah. That's one to why. How about you, Kirk? Do you have any? I get off of 606 and go down to Skookle, then 21st to market. So I haven't seen it. You don't think you haven't. I wonder how many people gone to work in Philadelphia or driving, you know, daily pursuit. If you don't go through one, if you have more than 20-minute drive once or another, and the worst is the one at City Hall. Either way, but mainly you head it south. You're not doing anything. You're caught. The light stops and you're caught in the middle lane. That's it. That gets the most money each year. I'm sure. Oh, yeah. It's just ridiculous. Brendan Boyle, though, Commander Small would tell you how much it does for Northeast Philadelphia. Stay away from it. It's a Bermuda Triangle. Grant, is it red line two? There's two or three of them. That's the one I remember the first. And they had a big ceremony, cutting ribbons and all. Grant and the Boulevard. All right. All time coming up now. Unions. It is the lightning round. Hit us with something associated with unions. Tom Giardano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning rounds. Oh, I see some great ones here. Let's go to Robert and Ben Salem, something associated with unions. Hey, Robert. Hey, Dom, Henry, good to talk to you guys today. Dom, I know it's the lightning around, so I'll be quick, but the unions went wrong when they took over the public sector jobs instead of just sticking to the private sector jobs, and I'll leave it there. But my union moment would be when, because the public unions became political, and they tried to test Ronald Reagan when he came into office, they didn't need to go on strike, and he dealt with them properly. So my answer is, dealing with Union excess vis-a-vis Ronald Reagan. And I'll leave it there. You guys have a great day, okay? That's a great one. He fired the air traffic controllers, unbelievable one. I want to go to Pat in Lehigh Valley. I'm not sure if Pat is saying this is the film, one of my favorites. Pat, what's your answer? It sure is. Corruption on the waterfront.

So you're talking about the film, Marlon Brando, or just in general? Absolutely, yeah. Especially when he walks in at the end. It's union. Oh, God, yes. When he beats up, John, is it Johnny Fontaine? I don't know. Lee J. Cobb, the fight with Lee J. Cobb. Henry, have you seen on the waterfront? I have not. It's old, but you're an aficionado of that. I'm telling you, Marlon Brando, corruption on the waterfront, and he fights the whole gang. He's a heavyweight fighter. It takes a dive. His brother tells him he has to do it. And he says, I could have been a contender. I used to drive Dan nuts imitating his whole. I don't have time today. I do have it on my list. Oh, yeah. It's a great one. Lucille on the turnpike. Lucille, what's yours? I say more more. Excellent. Yep. When she holds up that sign union in the middle, I mean, the noise in that, oh, my God. Yeah, unbelievable. I don't know it. That's good union. It's not an all-time film, but it's good. It's very good. It's a good movie. Yeah. Earl of Tacony, Earl, what's yours? Real quick, do you remember, since Henry was playing union songs, remember when Al Gore said that his mother used to sing him the lullaby, looked for the union label when he was a child, except for the fact that the song was written in 1975 when Al Gore was 27 years old? Yes, yes. But my answer is unions taking money out of your paycheck. We have a company, and we were non-union, and the men insist that we want to join the union. We said, okay, are you sure? They said, yeah. So they got their first paycheck after we joined the union. And they said, well, wait a minute, we're making less money. I said, well, yeah, we're still paying taxes, but now you're paying union dues. You have to pay for the political action committee. You have to pay for the slush funds. And also, we were paying them more per hour. working for us privately than what the union rate was. And if you remember, UPS went on strike, and UPS offered the union a contract, and the union rejected it, UPS offered them a second contract, the union accepted it, and the employees were making less money per hour and working longer hours. Thank you, Earl. Jerry in Wilmington, Jerry, what's yours? Yeah, I had a call back. I got a Phillies connection. 1966, Kurt Flood and Tim McArver was traded to the card. Well, trade from Carls to the Phillies for, I got it backwards, for Dick Allen and Cookie Rojas. But he refused to go because he thought they were in slavery.

You know, and they put players, and he wanted, you know, freedom, free agency. Anyway, he quit the game and they went to court. He lost that eventually in 1998, Congress passed the Kurt Flood Act. Right, you're right. He is the guy that got it done. Mark and Philly, Mark, what do you have? All right, really quick. I don't know. I didn't really think about the side question, but for unions, they are so on point when it comes to time. As soon as it's lunchtime, like right at the minute, they are done. Like, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah. So another thing with Broad Street, don't worry about the red lights. I just got a ticket last week doing 36 and 25 mile hours on 25. The whole Broad Street is speed traffic. It is. You know, Mikie Sherrill Parker, I like in some ways, but there's, look, you got people. The problem is you have people that don't have insurance, you know, the whole thing. Nail them. Do not go after people who are a bit over the speed limit. 36 to 25, I think is not bad. All right. Stop with the speed bumps on my way to work. 14 of them I had to go through to that. I hate them because they're not even like the full speed bumps. They're like the awkward one. Oh, yeah. Exactly. Yep. Kirk, who did you like? I'm going with Lance and a chance. Oh, the chance was a good one. Henry, how about yours? I like Bill and Bucks with the Johnny Duck story. I like Gary in Newtown with the Rat Call and Jerry and Wilmington with the Kurt Flood story. So before Jerry and Wilmington, who was it? You mentioned. Gary and Newtown, the Rat. Yeah, the rat, yeah, I'll go with the rat. The rat is a Philadelphia, and I think they do it nationally. So let's put them into the hat. Who knows tomorrow? You can always send us suggestions on this. It comes out of what we're talking about or what's happening. I don't even know if I have one today, but I'm sure we'll come up with one. I'm depending on Henry today or Kirk or somebody else. All right, follow on Twitter at Dom Show 1210. Alante McCauley in studio at one after another tour of City Council tomorrow. They love this guy.

Do you remember when I ran four miles with you and I beat you flat out? In jeans. In jeans. Let's see what he says. And were those women really carrying Uzi's? And how many cough?
