Hey, everyone, it is Dom Time, live and local as Dawn just said. And what a big news day. And I'm not sure these, Henry's been out walking back and forth. Henry, would you say it 12 inches in downtown Philadelphia here in Germantown? I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't go that far now. It's under nine, by my eye, 8.756. That's a very specific number. Yes, exactly. All right. Doing the best I can hear. All right. So we have coming up today, Scott Presler, as usual. We also have joining us, Fred Herron. Where else are you getting at? Fred Herron joining us because Fred is the former sheriff out in Bucks County. I was almost ready to lead with the Bucks County story today, given... How outrageous this is what's going on in Quaker Town, and most people are seeing it. Six ABC over the weekend saying people are demanding that these children be released. Yeah, children. Did you see the video? We'll play some of that for you. YouTube.com slash 1210 WPHT. But as all that was unfolding, the U.S. hockey victory. just jumped out and immediately as it was happening and the celebration and all things related to it. And we have a lot on that. What an inspirational moment with one of the Hughes brothers. This is Jack Hughes from Jersey. I believe these guys are because even Mikie Sherrill sang their praises. Well, Democrats applaud tomorrow night when the president introduces, as I understand it, both the men's team. And the criticism by Keith Oberman trying to jump into the ring saying, yeah, the men's team is misogynistic. The women won't go. I think the women are going to be there. Well, Democrats applaud because, you know, they've gotten into the habit. It's silly strategically. You mean to say they won't stand tomorrow night? Are they going to do a little golf clap? Or look the other way. Come on, Madeline, Dean. Are you going to applaud the women? Are they just going to applaud the women? Maybe not the men. As I understand it, both are invited. Here's those moments, though, and we have a lot more of this. This is Cut 11 from Overtime Hero. Oh, okay. We don't have, all right, we're in the, sorry.

3:04

We're in a little flux technologically getting everything ready. My faux pop. We'll play it, though, in a moment where Hughes told us how proud he was to be an American. Of course, proud of the team. He went on to talk about other things. Now, I'm being honest with you. I'm not going to put on the pom-poms and think that it's not the end of the world to me, but Kash Patel in the locker room looked kind of nerdy to me. Come on, you can be honest. We can praise the American team and we can attack. Huffington Post and then a couple of other people, Axios, who reprint it what Huffington Post was saying. And their headline was, you know, there is a name for what you feel when you're watching this. If you're an American, this was a staring game. The goal was unbelievable. By the way, I don't think enough made of the assist on the goal. You know, but that happens. I mean, in due time, the guy who assisted was unbelievable. The three-on-three stuff, I think Henry and I agree. Better to settle this. Come on, tell TV to wait. They have to do better. Five-on-five on something this major, that's what you have to do rather than three-on-three. But the Huffington Post and others, and people were calling this out on Twitter. actually did say this is, there's a name for this, cognitive dissonance. They say it can cause physical symptoms, like tightness in the neck, shoulder or jaw areas, as well as digestive issues and trouble sleeping. The degree to which you feel shame and guilt right now for cheering U.S. Olympians may depend on how much cognitive dissidents you have between the stated values of being an American freedom, revolutionary spirit opportunity for all versus how our government. has actually acted in the hundreds of years since the U.S. was formed, said Lauren, a people, a psychologist and executive coach, and I might add, a moron. That's why some people might not experience cognitive dissonance at all, because what the U.S. government is doing to as citizens is not new for them. For these people, they've already been exposed to the difference between what America claims to be versus what it is. It's a hockey game. It's a great moment. I think the Canadian team is probably better. But it's very reminiscent, even though this American team isn't like the miracle on ice as far as talent. This team is loaded. It's more that, by the way, just a nod to Henry here, raving, I'm sitting in the comfort of the Domzone. He's making everything work. Come on, Henry, that was a nanosecond too slow. You got everything together in under four minutes, your MacGyver. I'm my best here. Absolutely.

6:09

uh here here is uh boy i'm seeing dom time in two different screens here at home that's a little bit too much one hair looks good the other let's get rid of the bad hair screen not just kidding all right by the way you see the dom dom in a picture youtube dot com slash 1210 that dan dan made over christmas time about five years ago and then of course my magazine cover We should have a close-up on that because no human can look that good. These guys touch that up. If I looked that good, we couldn't go outside the studio, Henry. No one could. Nice work by the Jersey guys doing it. All right. So here is Mr. Hughes, the guy that really got the ball rolling. And I think we have a couple cuts of him. At least I remember him talking a lot. Here is Jack Hughes talking about proud to be an American. This is all about our country right now. I love the USA. I love my teammates. It's unbelievable. The USA Hockey Brotherhood is so strong. And we had so much support from next players. I'm so proud to be American today. This was such an incredible game to grind out. I mean, you're bleeding right through it, just looking at you right now. Can you just talk about how difficult this gold medal was to win? Unbelievable game by Hallibuck. He was our best player tonight by a mile. Unbelievable game. Unreal game by our team. That's just a ballsy, gutsy win. That's American hockey right there. That's a great Canadian team. We're USA. We're so proud to be Americans. Tonight was all for the country. What does this gold medal mean to USA hockey? It's everything. Like I said, the USA Hockey Brotherhood means so much. Look at these guys. We're in such a team. We've been to the guy over two weeks. We're such a team. The USA Hockey Brotherhood is so strong. And we're so proud to win for our country. By the way, Henry, he did go on to say, too, ah, what the heck, the missing teeth? We have great dentists in America. Now, you know that I always take care of our own here. When Cheryl Parker had that dental problem, she didn't even go to the victory party. Remember that? I did behind the scenes hit everybody that I know and say, well, I think Dr. Benz can be over there in 10 minutes. You know, this guy ought to swing by here and get some great care. Can you imagine? I don't know if they fixed them up or how they fixed them up. You know, what is that saying? Oh, yeah. There was a saying in the middle of this, never put a lot of faith in a underweight chef or a hockey player with all of his teeth. That's what those are words that live by. All right. So that is Jack Hughes. When he said that, well, here is the brother, Win Hughes. This will be 14. This is the part he added to it thanking the troops for allowing us to play this game. Cut 14. Special and I want to thank our troops for allowing us to play this game. Thank our troops for allowing us to play this game and thank all the support back home.

9:25

All right. Mr. Hughes was a little bit celebratory there. Yeah, I had a couple celebratory drinks. That's nothing else. Yeah, exactly, exactly. So all this in play, and again, as I said, Jamel Hill wrote a piece for the Atlantic on this that went off the rails. But the one that got me was, and she's come on the show before, Christine Brennan. who's one of the first female sports writers, writes for USA today. And Henry, guess what she attributed this to? And she's right to a degree. I think she focused in on the women's hockey team, but the women in general, she touted Title IX. So you know my first thing if I got her on. I agree. How many times have I touted Title IX? But Christine, you certainly realize. The lawsuits against this invasion of men into women's sports, what are they filed under? What is the moving piece? Title IX. So she's not someone on record saying this is bad for women's sports. Why in the way would Christine then write this big column headline out of this about Title IX? And as I understand it, look, Trump is smart in this stuff. Trump has immediately invited both hockey teams. The question is tomorrow night, will Democrats stand and applaud? I think some of them will look at each other. They're right now. They'll have stand for a second. Sit down quickly. They'll do all that. And I realize politically it's a tough. Why is it a tough thing, though? You've got to say to your constituents, yo, it's the United States. Yeah, but it's the United States under Trump. And Kash Patel was there. You can challenge me on that. Henry, how would you feel as a pretty good athlete, I would say, across the board, if a Kash Patel, now he is ahead of the FBI. I just don't think, look, the guy has been. using the plane in ways, you know, that are a little bit. And I don't see him as a great FBI director. So I'll put that out there. I don't care if he's a Trump official or not. I call him as I see him. The star of the cabinet has been Marco Rubio. The second star, like in hockey, would be Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. The third star is probably Russell Russ Vought, the backpensure guy, who does all the big picture budgeting and economics that some guy tried to kill or wanted to kill recently. But the rest, like Howard Lutnick, and Pam Bondi, but Kash Patel, not good. Well, the FBI's not in the cabinet, but Kash Patel, not a star here. So how would you feel as an athlete, Kash Patel's in there? Uh, Kash Patel specifically, I'd kind of be like, all right, who's this guy? Like, what, we're bringing everyone in the locker room, but I do think it's nice to have like, I don't know, an energy guy to come in there, celebrate with you, you know, slam the table like he was doing. I thought that was funny, but at the same time, I'd be like, I had to get stuck with this guy, but all the people in the United States who got stuck with the FBI director.

12:42

Yeah. It's just kind of an odd visual like that. Like, oh, okay. Like, he's in the locker room. It is. It is. Couldn't you agree with him. But I like a guy you bring in, like, you know, rally the guys. I just, yeah, I just never would expect to be him. Yeah, exactly. All right. So we got a great side question today. Now, this is one we did a couple years ago, but this might be my favorite. Although the. person to the beauty next door, the girl next door thing, and that exclamation thing we did recently was unbelievable. On a snowy idea, it's so wide, I'm going to take some of the big ones off, though, that Henry and I noticed the other day, it was the anniversary, I think yesterday, but at least over the weekend, of the publication. Can you imagine that great moment of the Communist Manifesto? And I read more about it. It's one of the most boring, dense things imaginable. But it is the second, it's estimated to be the second bestseller of all time, the Bible first, the Koran, third. Imagine the calming manifesto beats out the Koran with maybe a billion people who are a Muslim. Wow. Can you imagine people having to pretend? Oh, juicy page 42, what Mark said. What that? It's all the same droning. Yeah, Henry has the audio book of it, maybe a little bit later on. I don't care how dramatic the reader could. I'd like to see somebody try to read this dramatically. It's impossible. So we are looking for the worst idea of all time, the very worst idea of all time. And it could be a small thing. It's all in the call. It doesn't have to be huge. You know the story. It's all in the call. A lot of people, including me, think New Coke is one of the top ten worst ideas. You got Coke. What the heck are you doing? But how about New Math? New Math, Henry may have been in school for it, came about because of the Obama Common Core standards. But a couple of biggies that I think deserve the worst of all time. Prohibition. So bad, we had to put an amendment in to get rid of it. That doesn't happen very often. The other, the two morons. Now, I may have been going to law school around then at night. Maybe I just had given that up. I didn't get to degree. Did I tell you, Henry, I won the moot court competition. I think you may have mentioned that once or twice. And if I were in the moot court competition. and it was a criminal case, I would not have you try on a glove because OJ all night long has arthritis in his hands. He's hitting his hand against the wall thousands of times. It's inflamed, you know, and having him, first of all, you've got to know the glove's going to fit. If the glove's not going to fit, if there's any chance, you're not trying on the glove. And if you remember to preserve the evidence, I believe they had a latex glove underneath it. and then go into the glove. What the heck? Marsha Clark, who apparently didn't know who O.J. was when she first took up the case. The guy assisting her was another, and they're against Johnny Cochran. They should have just called the trial off there. When O.J. standing there, and the glove looked like, you know, a man's putting it into a child's glove.

16:11

It was over. I mean, how could you say anything after that? So, Henry, what's yours? Yeah, you know what? I came into the studio today, and it looks like someone had been watching MLB network, so it got me thinking, like, oh, there have been some really bad ideas, promotional ideas in the MLB over the years. So I went back to a 10-cent beer night, which was something the formerly known as Cleveland Indians hosted back on June 4th, 1974. They offered cups of beer for 10 cents each, which... Today's standards, that'd be a 65 cent beer, which still would be crazy. And then it made no purchase limit as to how many you could purchase. So, yeah, while the sober fans left as the crowd got drunker and drunker, as the game went on and on, by the ninth inning, there was a riot on the field. The fans have become so unruly. And players were forced to protect themselves with their baseball bats in order to just get out of the game. And it had to be forfeited by the Indians. It was just that bad. And then another one I'm going to take off staying in the AL Central was something that the Chicago White Sikes did about five years later in July 12, 1979. They did disco demolitionite where they offered tickets for just under a dollar. If you brought in a disco vinyl disc to be destroyed in between a day-night double header. Problem with that, though, is, yeah, a lot more people came than usual to, you know, a lot snuck in and everything. And when they... destroyed the discs. A lot of fans stormed the field caused another riot, which caused the White Sox to have to forfeit that second game of that day-night doubleheaders. So, yeah, a lot of bad ideas come from Major League Baseball, unsurprisingly. The disco is the all-time. The beer I didn't know so much, but the disco thing was unusual. When I first started teaching in 75, there was such antagonism between disco kids made up maybe 20% or so. of the student and the rest would go after them. Oh, yeah. How could you tell? Well, the kids who weren't dressed kind of scruffy and the disco were all those that were dressed up. You know what I mean? They may have had chains too. The neck chain. Okay. 855, 839, 12, 10. So that is the side question. How are you feeling after seeing this tomorrow night? This will be in the state of the union. We have pre-coverage, post-coverage of the state of the union coming up. And a Republican advisor says what Trump ought to do is emphasize the goodness and greatness of America during the State of the Union. And I would say, you can say, look, America's about evolution. We've grown past the flaws, and we will continue to tweak and grow past those flaws. There's nothing that's an honest assessment of what America is to me. But I think both hockey teams will be there. And is the Hughes Brothers going to get the teeth fixed before then, or is it a better photo to have them unfixed? I wouldn't fix them. Oh, it's a badge of honor. You've got to have them un-fix. Save that for after the season, too. Like, that's a June-July thing, like after the Stanley Cups over. Yeah, yeah. Don't fix the teeth. Dr. Bents, we'll get them over to Jersey for you right there and we'll do everything needed. All right, your calls are next, 855, 8, 3, 9, 12, 10, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless.

19:36

The post game and also how are you feeling as far as all-time worst ideas? We gave you a lot of them. Communism is the worst. When you look at the depth hole, that's why I think it's the worst idea. But imagine the second biggest bestseller of all time. Hard to believe, right? Hopefully we'll play some of the audio version. You'll see what I mean, how dense it is. It's like when George had to hear the guy on some kind of financial book, that episode. Gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, yeah. Class struggle. People of the world arise. Unite and arise. Whatever. 855, 839, 12, 10. Fred Heron breaks down the Quaker Town thing with us at 1230. You're next here on Talk Radio, 1210. Hey y'all, I'm Maddie. And I'm Poodle.

Dom Gierdano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. Hey, welcome in, everyone. Don Gierdano with you, 855, 839, 1210. That's how you get on board. Jump in right now, all-time worst idea. And your sense of pride coming off these two big victories, particularly the men's game. Now, as all this was going on, I was really geared up. And I saw several versions of what happened over in Quaker Town, a place that I know a little bit. Fred Heron's going to be here to break it down. This would be cut nine, and I'm sorry, this will be cut eight. The student protest against ICE devolves into teens attacking adults and officers. And clearly, they were going after the cops prior to the police chief checking. And did you know, the police chief is also the borough manager? I'm supposing that's why he was in plain close. Yeah, I do think he should put a police over, but I think he identified himself. These kids and this school again were out of control. They were doing things that the police had to be summoned to stop them from doing. Then they started jostling with the police. Who are they? Here's a little bit of how that sounded, cut eight. What happened? Kind of a brawl happened. My friend Willow was fighting back. Do you want to be on this and it's on? Yes. It's totally fine. Don't be on the wrong side of history, please. Listen to what we are saying instead of just fighting back. Some cops started grabbing the kids and then my friend Willow said, hey, get off of them. And then they pushed her so she hit him and then they started beating her up. She hit a cop? Yeah, but they were hitting other kids. But so somebody hit a cop? Yeah, I wanted this to be peaceful. Well, who hit the cop? My friend. More than one. What's her name? A lot of people were getting there. But what's her name? Willow Woodruff. And she hit a police officer? Yeah. And what happened? Is she the one bleeding? Yeah. She's bleeding. So what happened? The old guy punched her back. He hit a kick. So who hit who first? The cops, I believe. The cops were grabbing kids and they were defending themselves. So they were trying to get you out of the situation? Yeah. For some reason, they just all pulled. up and started hitting us. So the cops were trying to get you guys out of a situation and then it escalated? Okay. All right. Well, bye, guys. Yeah, I think that was fairly revealing. And this little ignorant mass here, but is that indoctrination or what? The wrong side of history. Do you think that kid is picked that up in her own? You're on the wrong side of history? Or is this the indoctrination stuff they hear over and over and over again in school, that dialect? I'd love to ask her, oh, interesting phrase, the wrong side of history. What do you mean by that? Who's on the wrong side of history? Where did you get that from?

23:46

Well, we got something special. Fred Heron, sheriff, former sheriff of Bucks County. We'll be here momentarily to break this down with us. And as I said, the police chief there is also the borough manager. I'm surmising maybe he was barrow managing. And that's why he's in plain close. It would be better because that's what they're going to dwell on. But what about the other cops who were clearly marked and we're having difficulty with these kids, just trying to have them stay on the sidewalk. Have them stop vandalizing stuff. Have them stop bothering people, throwing snowballs and everything. Now, they said you can't go at schools on the wrong side of history here. So on and on it goes with this, and this is a textbook example of exactly what's going on in these schools. By the way, a little nugget. We've been using this as a metric. According to one down. It's in the 45 percentile of proficiency, meaning only 45 percent of the students at North Penn, at Quaker Town, I'm sorry, at Quaker Town, are proficient in reading in those statewide tests. And only 35 percent are proficient. I hope the rest of the media would check those out. And maybe, whoa, what do they have to do with anything? Well, maybe they give you a sense. that this school district might have some other things to work on before they're on the right side of history. Don't you have to know a little bit more math to be on the right side of history? To be on the right side of history. Also realize voters made a decision in Bucks County. They voted in Joe Conman, the DA for Bucks County now. He's investigating. Let's see what he comes up with, and I think it'll be rather imminent. All right, Fred Herron, our friend, coming up. Now, talk to Fred about what he sees here, but I see first, whatever you think of the police chief being out of uniform, the other cops, what about them? They were going through this with these kids also prior to anything else happening. And they don't have a right to be gone in the street, stopping cars and doing everything else.

Dom Jiodano, weekdays, noon till 3, from Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Come in, everyone, good Monday, and again, we've seen what plays out in these student walkouts. There have been all kinds of incidents across the country. So we told you on Friday on the air, Quaker Town suddenly canceled their school walkout and said, no, we're not going to be having students do that. And what, 35? confrontation with the police and others as they went on their merry way, including the police chief of Quaker Town, who's also the borough manager. All right, what happened here? Let's bring in an eagle eye to get his sense of law enforcement how to deal with something like this. Fred Herring, former sheriff in Bucks County, now on all kinds of matters. Hey, Fred, welcome in. Thanks for joining us. Of course, Don, thanks for having me on this wonderful, snowy day. So, Fred, do you know the, I mean, it's rare, right? To have a borough manager slash police chief, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but I don't know too many. Don, you there? I lost you. Fred, I said that it's rare to have a barrow manager, police chief, and I don't know too many places that do it. Nothing wrong with it, though. Yeah, it's not often that you see that, but some of these smaller boroughs and townships throughout Pennsylvania, sometimes they'll have the police chief do two roles. I know we've seen that before in some other towns. It's normally a little bit more temporary, but I know Scott's been a borough manager for a while, and I've known him a long time. He's a good guy. Yeah. Yeah, when you watch this unfold, I was thinking about that. That could be wise in plain clothes. What are some of your thoughts? Given your vantage point as a professional law enforcement before the sheriff and during the sheriff, what do you see happening here? Well, this is the same old problem that we're seeing all over the country. You know, and there's a lot of communities that allow people, whether kids or not kids, to block traffic, disrupt, destroy cars, vandalized, scream, use profanity, walking around the streets. It's just not acceptable behavior, especially blocking roads. You can't do that. And I commend, you know, Quaker Town Police and the chief for getting his roads open and not letting kids disrupt. You know, if you want to protest and hold signs and say your piece on the side of the road and, you know, hold signs up and shout and scream, you know, knock yourself out. But you can't go into the streets disrupting everybody else's activities and you can't be doing damage. That can't be tolerated. And I commend Quaker Town. This is what most of America should be doing. You know, the school district had enough sense not to allow the protest. Some of the other schools are doing that. I don't agree with it. And Quaker Town did the right thing.

30:52

You know, when I was the sheriff, I made sure that all my deputies, we were trained in civil disorder because I was not going to allow any street in Bucks County to be blocked by protesters. You can be up on the sidewalk when I was in Ben Salem. I dealt with a lot of protesting and picketing and things like that. And the people if they, you know, do what they're supposed to do, then they can have their day, say what they want. Everybody goes home. Nobody gets arrested. Nobody gets hurt. That's the way it should work in this country. not the disorder that we're seeing all across America. And I applaud Quaker Town for doing the right thing by, you know, keeping the streets open and not letting disorder run their town. I would agree with that, Fred. The only police chief, let's talk about, I'm sure he identified himself. They seem to know it ultimately, but you know the media is going to seize on this. And I realize he's the borough manager. Maybe he was off duty and he was summoned there. Isn't it better to throw a police fleece on? And some of his cops seem, I thought Quaker Town might be trying to, the point I was making it, they were seemingly trying to do the police outfit that the left usually says police ought to wear. I mean, it was just a simple fleece with police, you know, and they were doing their job and these kids were jostling with them. But what about being in plain clothes? How does that work? Yeah, I mean, I don't think that changes anything. There's no doubt in my mind that everybody knew who he was. Quaker Town is not a big borough. There were uniform cops there, and if, you know, they're working with the chief, you know, anybody's going to assume that somehow he's involved with these police officers. Could you throw a vest on or a jacket? It's possible, but things happen so quickly. I used to carry, and I'm sure Scott has it as well, you know, a jacket or something in my car. But things just, you know, they move very rapidly. And I don't think that's a big deal. At the end of the day, these people are fighting with the uniform police. So, you know, folks are using this as a narrative. I think it's a bunch of nonsense because these kids were not listening to the uniform officers. And once someone tells you to stop and don't do what you're doing, the fight is over. And, you know, what you got here was you got, you know, six people got arrested. And they should have, you know, if they didn't like what was happening, that's why. The street is not the courtroom. You'll have your day in court. If you think the cops are doing something wrong, take it to the court. And now you have, I'm watching these videos. You have all these people coming up, you know, the police escalated it and the police did this. Kids were just, you know, speaking their peace. And that's not speaking your piece. When you're blocking traffic and throwing ice balls and rocks and kicking the police chief while he's on the ground, that's not speaking your piece. That's a problem. Yeah, and Fred, another thing, too. It's an object lesson. Everybody sees too much TV. They talk about subduing. I'm thinking this pretty big cop gave the kid a chance until I had to handcuff him. Handcuffing somebody who's resisting is not an easy thing. If you resist, it's going to look really bad, and it might even feel really bad. Even with a couple people we've seen this time and time, and I'm sure they practice handcuffing. It doesn't matter. It's an awkward thing for a police to do. It, you know what, I watch these videos and I listen to these, these knuckleheads, you know, talk about the big bad policeman with these little kids. When you've got somebody, even 140, 160 pounds or 110 pounds flailing about and not trying to get their arms, you know, in a position where you can handcuff them, it's very difficult to do without inflicting some sort of, you know, discomfort or pain on them. And that's when people comply.

34:34

And it's just, you know, it's a shame. It shouldn't have to come to that. When a police officer tells you, put your hands behind your back, if you want to make sure that you have no pain whatsoever, put your hands behind your back. You should not be arguing. That's not the system we have in place. And there's going to be pain. I have wrestled with people 110 pounds. And if they don't want to get their hands behind their back, it's a problem. And someone who's going to feel some pain or get hurt. And it's not done on purpose. It's just there's no way around it. So these folks that say, well, you know, why did they have to do this? Obviously, they've never been in a fight before. They've never tried to handcuff or get somebody to go along with their direction. So again, it's people that are just watching television. I watched, you know, this mock release in front of the police station. The same woman, Heidi Rue, the same woman that was suing me in court and some of these other groups, they're back at it again. just to get people riled up when they don't know the first thing about what they're talking about. And even, you know, the sheriff, you know, last week he was on your show and commending how proud he was of kids out there, you know, partaking in the democratic process in, you know, protesting. They shouldn't be doing that. They should have been in school learning. And I know, Dom, you're trying to do this. These kids have no idea what ICE is about. They watch the news. They watch Minneapolis. And that's what gets in their brains. They have no idea what goes on here in Pennsylvania. They have no idea the good work that ICE has been doing. The criminals that we've been getting off the streets. The 14-year-old girl that could have been, we could prevented her rape in Bucks County. if we were working with ice. And no one's talking about this. I don't hear this mentioned anywhere. You know, I watch all this stuff. I just about sit here, scratching my head. Like, are these people insane? Do they not realize they have no idea what they're talking about? Yeah, absolutely. Well, that's why we turn to your podcast, which is growing with leaps and bounds. Are you back on the podcast? It would be found time to do it. And this would be a great podcast, don't you think? Yeah. I could tell you about it when the time is right. I've had to slow it down right now for a couple of reasons. I'm waiting to see. I'm hoping to be up in operation will get in a couple weeks. But yeah, it certainly would be a good topic. And, you know, my problem is I just say what's on my mind. And some people don't like that. But it doesn't bother me. He never did. Well, where do we find you until then, Fred? Where's the best place to find you? Are you on X someplace else? No, we're still on YouTube and all the places where you get your podcast.

37:24

Spotify and all those places. I'm just trying to pick up the pace once I get, I'm trying to get settled in with a couple of the things going on right now. As I told you about a month ago, I certainly would announce it here on the Dom Show first, looking for some different stuff going on. And depending on the route that I take, I will certainly that you and your viewers know first. Right now I'm just doing consulting work, which has been, I'm working for about four different companies right now, which is keeping me actually pretty busy. I actually like doing this because I'm making my own hours and it's, you know, I don't have to go out in the snow today. I'm working from home. It's actually not too bad after 39 years of going into the office every day. Gotcha, Fred. Well, I'm in the dom, don't. I know what you're talking about. Yeah, do keep Henry in the loop. Let us know whatever you want to announce. And again, thanks for giving that really professional, considered opinion to this. And I'm hoping, well, we know we got a new DA here too. I'm a little bit. apprehensive about his investigation and the woman you referenced i think you're referencing these indivisible groups uh they're all over the place and bucks county has a particularly bad one yeah Yeah, Buck's promise. I've dealt with them during the George Floyd issues. They had protested during the high school graduation at Ben Salem. We actually had the graduation at Parks out of the open parking lot because of COVID. And I couldn't repeat the things that they screamed at the officers and spat on us. And this was, you know, pre all the ice stuff. And, you know, this group hasn't gotten any better. And they're not interested in helping or what's right. They're just interested in flan, infamming the fire and pouring gasoline on it. The offers I've made to them over the years to sit down and work, and I know you offer to host some moderation on, you know, the pros and cons of ice and, you know, having two people on the different sides of the spectrum myself and Danny Seisler or whoever. I welcome that. The problem is the other side doesn't want to hear from us because we're the ones that make sense and we're the ones that actually are out there protecting people. And the other side's not interested in that. They're only interested in. Well, I don't give up too easily, Fred. You never know. You know, I'm like a termite. Once I get in there, you can't get me out as far as I'll continue to offer this to those schools over in Bucks County, particularly. Yeah. Well, I welcome it. I appreciate all your work you're doing. Thank you, Fred. Same to you. Thanks, Fred. Fred Heron with us here on the Dom Gerdano program. I thought that might be where he would go. And of course, they're going to go after the plain closed thing, but they knew who this guy was. This guy was a chief of police. I pledged you that cut of those kids. And can you imagine a school district 35% proficient in math, a suburban school district? Well, Philadelphia is probably worse. Okay. 45 in reading. But they know you're on the wrong side of history. That's right, buddy. You are on the wrong side of history. They've memorized that. Phone lines. Get in on the side. 855, 833, 9, 12, 10. And your reaction to Fred Herron and what went on here with the police, I don't think the current sheriff could comment. Although, maybe he can. We'd welcome him.

40:46

Anytime, I mean, it is a great dialogue there. If you have a school, I think the two would travel outside Bucks County. Let them come and talk about ice both sides. And let's see where it goes. Maybe Upper Darby. Dom Giordano with you from the Dom Dome. Henry braving icicles even falling from buildings. Oh man, dude. That was a brutal. Yeah. How far did you have to walk from the hotel? It was only like half a mile, but like the wind today is just, that's the worst part of it. It's not, you know, the slush or anything. It's the wind that was just unbearable. Yeah. And yeah, everything's just flying off of buildings, hitting you in the face, hitting in the stomach. It's, yeah, it's, I thought they'd put you guys up. I thought they'd put you up on a hotel that was right there on the block. I mean, there is one right down the street, and that's what I thought would be. But it's like down the street and around the corner, which I, you know, it's not so bad. But yeah. Okay. I would have preferred just, you know, straight shot. All right. Well, let's see if the troops all can get in tomorrow. You got to get home today, too. Oh, yeah. All right. 855-839-12-10. Get in with Dom here. Hit us all-time worst idea. That's today's side. You'll get your name into the hat on Talk Radio 12-10. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210. W-P-H-T. Hey, it is Dom-time. Welcome in, everyone. 855, 839, 12-10. All right, Henry has viewed up now, ready to go. How in the world, Communist Manifesto, today's side question, is this the second best-selling book of all time? Here's a little bit of the commie manifesto. Imagine a guy driving on, Kramer driving along, listening to the Kami Manifesto. Here's how it sounds. The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established at new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones. Our epoch, the epoch of the bourgeoisie, possesses, however, this distinctive feature. It has simplified the class antagonisms. Society, as a whole, is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps. into two great classes directly facing each other, bourgeoisie and proletariat. From the serfs of the Middle Ages sprang the chartered burgers of the earliest towns. From these burgesses, the first elements of the bourgeoisie were developed. Okay, you get an idea, riveting stuff, and that guy is pretty lively. Imagine reading the... He really got inside bourgeoisie. Oh, yeah, yeah. The thing that I always look at is that when I say dense, I mean, just it's every word, it's almost impenetrable. You don't want to expend the energy to even figure exactly what he's talking about. And it's pretty repetitive stuff. We got the main plot here. He kind of said it there. After that, the rest of it is filler and keeps on going back to it again and again and again.

44:02

Now, how in the world did this result in the deaths of a couple hundred million people, et cetera? I see socialism as an easier sell. People think, yeah, that makes sense. We all sharing this together without all the downside of communism. That's why socialism pops up every 10 years or so. Now, some people put democratic socialist in front of it. But you don't see people, even Zohran Mamdani, who is a commie, I believe, doesn't say he's a comedy. You can't say you're a comedy today. Bernie Sanders did his honeymoon. Henry, did you know that? In Moscow. Who goes on the honeymoon? It might have been in wintertime. Can you imagine a woman that married him, that maniac? Going to, and Walls did his in Beijing, commie China. I mean, what that? Well, we've seen the wife. So that explains a lot. All right, let's start with John and Yardley. Let's get one on the board here on Talk Radio 1210 on the side question. Hey, John, good afternoon. What do you have today? Hi, John. Good question. My answer to your question would be the Ford Pinto. Partation is a bad or dangerous car due to a critical design flaw. Yeah. The gas tank was designed too close to the rear bumper, causing it to rupture, leak, or explode, if any clearance occurred. And the people in charge it for kind of knew what was taking place, but they let it go because they figured if they fixed it, it would have cost more to fix. So I thought that was interesting. Exactly. Thank you, John. Yeah, the Fort Pinto historically. Yeah, but I don't know, it was maybe 40 or 50 people blown up before they had to stop it. Blown up. I saw Henry lawn darts on the list. And yes, I just, I remember lawn darts. They are dangerous. So in the end, but, you know, was that? Is that something you ought to let kids be playing with them? Maybe not unsupervised. Adults shouldn't even be playing with those. Let's face it. You can have a few beers and then start playing with those. Well, that's right. And the Sopranos, of course, Ralphie's son killed another. Ralphie's son killed another kid with it, right? Right, yeah. Yeah, I think that's the way it work. Yeah, so maybe not lawn darts. Maybe they are. Guess what's on the list, though? And this is a really difficult one. Sundance. And I get it, I get a dermatologist out there, but come on, who doesn't look better with the tan? Yeah. So within moderation, right? Let's, I wouldn't go for the sun tan as an all-time bad idea. I get the suntan. All righty, that's the side question today in honor or dishonor of the commie manifesto, 855, 833, 9, 12, 10, one of our favorites coming up at 1.30, Kirsten Fleming from the New York Post, several things. Zohran Mamdani, and I've seen. It wasn't just three or five. I've seen different reports, forms of identification to shovel snow, but he kept on talking about small photos, too. Who has all those small photos at home? And it wasn't $30 an hour. That's what he said should be minimum wage. I think it was really 19 to a certain point. She also has written about the Olympics, what we've just seen play out, and Bruce Springsteen.

47:36

She'll be here, of course, Scott Presler at 2 o'clock. And our buddy, John Alante McCauley, has up on his Twitter that it doesn't seem like, Henry, you can tell me, I know you've been trying to get in touch. He's not doing his sign up for petitions tonight as far as we think, right? I don't think so. No, okay. But he says on Twitter, he'll come to your house if you're in the congressional district where he has to get those petition signatures even today and get your signature. Oh, man. That's the kind of candidate you want. Yeah, that's why I said, if he's listening, John, call in. I mean, this guy knows no boundaries. I get it calling off the event because I don't think people are going to come out. He's coming to you to get the signature. You put this guy in charge of the Republican Party or you put him on that state committee and there's going to be action here. I'm not saying everything I agree with, you know, he gets worked up. But by and large, guys willing to come to your house today in order to sign you up. He said, I see it on Twitter too. I can't wait a day because I got to get these done. I got to get the requisite number of signatures. We need more guys like this. All right, 855, 839, 1210. Grab a line here on the Dom Show. Dom Judano, weekdays, noon till 3.
