114 segmentsHey, it's Jen Hatmaker. Here's what I've learned in midlife. Joy isn't the reward you earn after all the work is done. Joy is the work. That's what this new series on For the Love is all about. The sacred yes. It's choosing delight, rest, and pleasure on purpose. Because saying yes to yourself, that's the thing that finally lets you fill your table with everybody else. Come find your sacred yes with me. Follow and listen to For the Love wherever you get your podcasts. Philadelphia's Talk Radio 1210, WPHT, WPHDHT, WPHDHDHDH3, Philadelphia. From the Piazza Auto Group Studios, experience the power one with eight brands and 25 locations. Always live on the free Odyssey app. It's Dom time. Now, Dom Gerdano. All right, it is Dom time. Welcome in in the on-deck circle. We will talk with the president of the state Senate, all that's standing between us and the reign of King Josh here. So they're subpoenaed. They're on the state senate is. The fact that the money that's the number that's out there is $32 million on security for the governor's mansion. And I believe over at his private home, a million that he takes with him, you know, that goes with him when he leaves office. This guy has played this in the way that Josh Shapiro does. In other words, yes, we want him to be safe. Yes, it's awful this maniac got on there. But he barely, if ever, talks about the reason this guy said publicly he wanted to go after him. And also, no accountability for the state police. How did he get in there with all those guards? And how did he get out, that he had to turn himself in or they had to get it through the girlfriend ultimately? It's a masterpiece of what he does. I'm concerned here in Abington, we've told you, and the inquires coverage of this is not, they give you a link rather than state it themselves. about what's going on here with this family that happens to live next door to him. So we'll talk with the president about that, but she is a big proponent of school choice. And of course, he's holding that up. He's the national figure. We have a Democrat who I would say is more progressive, at least on the surface, the governor of Colorado Jared Polis, who has signed off on this. What does Josh Shapiro have to see or read? before he signs off and allows kids across Pennsylvania to get out of the subpar schools they have if it's their choice. His kids, of course, go to private schools. He did too, up and down the line. I believe they're religious schools, and that's obviously his choice. Why not let these other kids have that choice? What is the big holdup? What's the language? He doesn't have anything on that. He's delaying. to see where this leads, and he doesn't know what to do, because I think it would enhance him if he was for it, but the teachers' unions and others would come after him. That's where we are, but $32 million on top of what we're seeing at the house over in Abington.
All right, let me go to Drew and Upper Darby on the side question. We'll hopefully hook up with her shortly. Hey, Drew, good afternoon. What do you have today? Hey, Don, thank you so much. I appreciate it, Dom. Real quick, March 8th, 1971, Madison Square Garden. That was the first fight. Ali Frazier. Frazier hit Ali with a left hook that would have knocked down the Statue of Liberty. It was the punch heard around the world. It changed the sport. It really did. It was the most incredible punch I've ever seen. And I'm a big boxing fan. Of course, once Fraser met Big George down in Kingston, Kingston, Jamaica, that kind of changed a lot of things too. Yeah, he looked pretty, when he got hit, he stumbled pretty badly. I agree. Drew, what's your side? Yes, okay, Dan, real quick. Thank you, man. Back in the mid-19th century, 1850s, I suppose, during the Go West Young Man movement, there was the Donner Party. where, like, families were heading west with their children, and they had their wagons and their horses, and they got stranded in a blizzard that just happened to hit up in Reno, like, on the California, in Nevada border. They were stranded in this blizzard for months, and they had the resort. It's a cannibalism. Gotcha, Drew, the Donner Party. All right, the Senate President pro tempore. Kim Ward, we're always honored to have her. He's back with us in Philadelphia. President, welcome. Thank you for joining us today. How are you? Very well. And I heard you last week, I think with Dawn, it seemed to be very spirited, the things that are going on in Harrisburg. Oh, yeah. The one thing you and I have never talked at length, and I wanted to do that at the top, because once we get going on the security things, et cetera, we'll really go to town. And that is school choice. I know you are passionate about this. your own background, et cetera, and you've talked movingly about it. And here we have a golden opportunity with the governor, I think, to not only help kids and families, but to help himself, all he has to do is take the new money. Right. Oh, I'm hoping that he does that. And it really should be simple. It doesn't affect the budget at all because it's federal. It's kind of like they actually use part of Pennsylvania ZITC to model this after. The federal, the Trump administration did. So it's a lot like what we have now, and it won't affect anything in the state. He should simply take the money.
Why so much school choice with you? What do you see in your own background or what you see in your role across Pennsylvania? What do you think, in general, this is only one part of it, the big, beautiful bill, but in general, doing what he pledged to do? He was following through, and then Matt Bradford and the teachers' unions got to him. What would it do in your view? Well, I do think it would give all of these kids, you know, we would start as we tried to start. with kids in failing schools, low-income kids in failing schools. It would give them a chance at life. They're not going to graduate without being able to read, right? They will be able to get, if they get the proper education, to get a good job or go to college, go to trade school. You know, we're giving them a chance at life. I think we are hurting them and holding them back. by not giving them the opportunities to do better. So I think this is something that is so common sense. And, you know, it's just hard to believe it's so hard to get something that simple done. But the power of some of the purse strings of the PSCA and the American Federation of Teachers, which is what is in Philadelphia, is, you know, it's very strong. They have a lot of control in the Democratic Caucus, House Caucus, a lot of control. Also, the point you just made there, it's not just Philadelphia. Stacey Garrity, I think in this campaign, is illustrating. And I know you, too, no rural Pennsylvania, you know, want to highlight how neglected this has been many, many times. And this would hit school districts. Maybe they're underfunded. I'm not sure what it is, but there are school districts that are substandard in rural Pennsylvania, just like in Philadelphia, it would impact those kids just as much. It would impact the kids across the spectrum. You know, I think when we're trying to get kids to get their test scores up, I don't see them being any better than they have been before. Pennsylvania rents number seven in the country, in the country, for funding public education. That's all in. I was right. That's local federal state. Seventh in the country. But yet, you know, some in the legislature on the other side of the aisle continue to scream for more and more money. What are you doing with it? We have less students. Show me the money. Show me the result of all of this extra money. You know, they continuously use the court case. Well, the court case said, no, the court case didn't say we had to give them more money. The court case said we had to change our funding formula. It didn't say we have to add money to the funding. It said we have to change the funding formula. So they keep saying we have to do this for the court case, $567 million. Last year, $526 million a year before, you know, it's in the governor's budget again. I think we need to talk about this. This is not a given to me. It is not a given. You know, we all want a good education for our kids. So why can't we give them a good education? If they're in a failing school, let them out. Let them out of the failing school. You want to give all this money to public education? Fine.
As long as those kids are getting educated and they're able to choose where they go because I don't think it's making a difference in some of these places at all. Absolutely. So Senate President Kim Ward with us. Are you saying that this 526 million you just mentioned is going to be debated here? Again, I agree with you on the court case. I've read it several times. And you know what word comes up here that Stacey Garrity uses? And apparently it enrages the other side every time it comes up is mediocre. or number seven in spending, we may not even be mediocre in results. And I would say when I see Josh Shapiro, other than how he acted with I-95, and he did a good job of putting it on the web, showing people that, okay, he's been mediocre at best. Absolutely. He's not. Tell me what he's really accomplished on his own. He's not bragging about very many things that he signed bills for it, that I will tell you. That wouldn't be there. Those things would not be there if we did not have a Republican Senate holding the line and pushing for change. It wouldn't happen. He wouldn't do that. He'd be signing, we would be California, and everybody listening can believe me. If the Democrats control the Senate, we're California. So we're essentially two votes away from becoming California. Because we stop some of the crazy stuff that comes over from the House. We stop it. If we weren't there to stop it, he would sign it. Because we've heard him say, well, they got to work it out and I'll sign it. He would sign it. He'd become Gavin Newsom. With a different color hair and, you know, five inches shorter, whatever. Well, for the record, I'm on record saying eight inches shorter, but you can stay with the five inches shorter. Well, I don't have any idea, but I'm just saying. I don't have any idea how tall either. I have a thing. I have a thing about height. That's on me. I wanted to talk about this staggering number, and you guys are trying to untangle it. We know, and everybody on record, of course, a man in his family, this horrible incident. We want them to be safe. But we don't have a lot of details on the state police and accountability. And certainly, we don't have a lot on why we need to spend $32 million more insecurity. Well, we spent $32 million on the governor's mansion that will be there for this governor. I know he put in bulletproof windows. Right. But it'll be there for this governor and it will be there for governors to come. And, you know, it's excessive. It sounds very excessive to me. But, you know, it's, we're public. It's transparent. I don't know what they did. I guess bulletproof glass through the whole thing, an impenetrable wall. I don't know everything they did. We want them to be safe. That's the taxpayers, that's a taxpayer's asset. It doesn't belong to the governor. So I think they spent excessively. but it belongs to us. It's not something that she gets to benefit from as opposed to his personal home. Yes, and have we untangled that? The figure I see out there, President, is about a million dollars plus. Do we know what that bought and why it's necessary? Because he does get to keep that. He does get to keep it, and I think you're spending more.
To upgrade the security on that home, then that home is presently assessed that. Now, that will go with the house. I mean, that will go with him. And I'm not sure what they spent it on. And I've said this before. I have a pretty large house. I have lots of windows and doors. And I put in, I just did an upgrade to my security system. And I keep upgrading. I started it last October, and they're coming back in a couple weeks. And I spent $10,000. And I have every window in my house is monitored. Every door in my house is monitored. I've got glass break. I've got motion detectors. I've got cameras everywhere. I have everything. I have so much it makes me feel secure in my house. Yeah. I'm a scaredy cat here when I'm by myself. So I can't imagine for the life of me what we spent over a million dollars. I can't imagine what that cost is. You know, I don't know. I guess, you know, some of that stuff was subpoenaed and we'll see. Absolutely. Now, as we go forward to the campaign, and there has been this edge with Josh Shapiro, which as a progressive Democrat, you think other women would call him on it. When it comes to women and you've been one of the main ones, the governor seems to have a bit of an edge as a way that I would put it. And Stacey Garrity running against him, I think this might be part of the campaign of what comes up. So the left is very disciplined. And even though they may not like what Josh Shapiro does, they're going to defend him forever. You know, when you look at... his record with women. Remember just the comments he made about me, consider the source. Yes. Really? Because I was asking questions. You look at, they deleted emails from the sexual harassment case that occurred in his office, right? He took $2.1 million from Reed Hoffman, who was named 2,600 times in the Epstein files. And, you know, he took the money. And while he's taking money from that guy, he's saying he's running on moral clarity. Seriously? Moral clarity? And you're taking money from this guy? He ought to take that money, $2.1 million, and he ought to give it to the rape centers. He ought to show that he cares about victims because he talks about victims all the time. Let's do it. Go give that to the rape centers. Take that dirty money and give it. to an organization that could use it. Yeah, for listeners, Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn guy, gave him that money. And you're right, he may not have known anything about him. Who knew at that point? But what usually happens, right, particularly if you're running a certain kind of campaign, is you say, I'm not going to give it back to him, but I'm going to put it to public use. And what better than what you just suggested? The rape centers. Yeah. Do you get any reaction when you say that? Is the media asking about that? Does he say anything? No. Nope. And the other night a station ran stuff and I said that they didn't even run that part. So, you know, it's anyway. Well, we'll see. This just continues. He does things while he's talking about morality.
that don't match what he's talking about. None of us are moral. We've all sinners. God forgives us. You know, none of us run on being a higher, a higher moral standard. And the truth about all of this stuff coming out with a mansion, I just wanted to give a shout out to Senator Jared Coleman. Yes, he's been on with us. He's like a dog with a bone, that guy. When he gets something, it is. That's it. He's not giving up. And I'm glad he's my friend. Well put. So for you and the Senate, and I think you come up with a great way of encapsulating it, if the Senate is not there, if we don't hold the Senate, then Pennsylvania will become California. He'll sign it. Matt Bradford will tell him, sign this, and he will. What's coming up in the Senate right now? What's the major thing for you coming up? Well, the thing that we're working on that's going to, is taking all of our time will be the budget. Again, I mean, we just finished a budget three months ago, and here we are. It's a continuation of where we were. We still don't have. the money that the governor wants to spend. We don't have any more money now than we did. Now, our revenues are coming in higher, but we're not going to know those numbers until later, until the summer, because we don't know what we're going to get in February, March, April, May, June. We don't know. So that will be the overwhelming. thing that we work on. It will be the budget, and it will take a lot. This is not easy. This is quite the challenge. Absolutely. Well, thank you again. I hope when you're in Philadelphia, we can talk with you in person. We really enjoy every time you come on the station. Okay, well, thank you. Thanks. Bye-bye. Thanks, Senate President Kim Ward here on Talk Radio 12, 10, 32 million bucks. They're not involved in the private thing here. I've been talking about with Josh Shapiro endlessly, which each day grows more ridiculous with this family over in Abington. It's unbelievable. You heard what she said about school choice. That is spot on. That's where we are. What will he do? And the stuff with women is legendary. All right now, though, before we do anything else, it is time for... It's Dobbs Money Melody. Basol the Money Gone. And today we're playing for a pair of tickets to Love Always, an evening of romance inspired by the Great American Songbook, Broadway, and classic pop. This Friday, we love it. February 13th where the Zlock Performing Arts Center in Bucks County. For tickets and more information, visit bucks.edu slash tickets. Emory?
All right, Dom, so today on the money melody, or I should say today on the side question, we're asking for something associated with the West, but that's the old Wild West, you know, New West. So I'm going to play you a music artist from the West, this California-born music artist. Okay. Has the middle name of Pirate. She is a vegan, and she is a Grammy one. So I feel like that's a big trifecta for the California right there. If you're vegan, you win a Grammy, because who doesn't win a Grammy at this point? Absolutely. I'm going to play you an acoustic cover she did of Elvis's Can't Help Falling in Love With You. I want to know the name of this Grammy-winning, a Grammy-winning artist whose middle name is Pirate. Pirate. Oh, unusual. Okay. Sure.
You have to see it rather than hear it. This is a little tough. Well, yeah, this was from an Instagram live some time ago, just, you know, riffing. So, yeah, I want this Grammy Award-winning vegan artists from California, whose middle name is Pirate. All right, 855-839-1210. All right, 8-5-839-10. All right now. I'm Jenna Fisher and I'm Angela Kinsey and together we have the podcast Office Ladies. Just because we finish rewatching the office does not mean we're going anywhere.

Where has all the money gone? Show me to my... All right, it is Dom time at 855, 839, 12, 10. Let's hear today's clue.
The vegan Grammy winner here. I'm pirate, middle name. The middle name is pirate. Wow, Bill and West Grove. Hi, Bill. Who is it? Oh, what I hate to say is Billy Eilish. All right, I wouldn't have guessed that. Well, that is certainly with the West and the Old West and land and all, that's a good choice today. Yeah, why not? So Billy Ilish gets you to the Zlock. Tomorrow night. We love the Zlock. Any chance we have every time we go there, great stuff. Okay, phone lines are 855-839-12-10. You get on board. Coming up, we're going to talk to our friend Fred Herron, former sheriff over in Bucks County, and just ask him simply, and then we'll go from there. If you were invited to the school districts, what would you tell them about ICE? How about if you're going to be sanctioning all these walkouts? Is that not a teachable moment for these school districts? They're sanctioning it or put the cops out there. You can do it. Please try to revive with this. There'll be no discipline. Okay. Does it tell you something that this might be on an educational level? Meaning, if you're going to allow this with no discipline, first of all, in Texas, they take away to state money if you do that. Wouldn't it be a good idea to get both points of view? So if you're in Bucks County, Fred Herron, Danny Seisler, together, or whatever. In other words, we hear when we had the superintendent on from Upper Darby, well, they're afraid they're going to be out there with signs, First Amendment and all that. I didn't hear anything about anybody. wanting to educate. And I realize the tension with this because the way that I see it versus the way I suspect Upper Derby, which is a rogue town, as we know, with ICE, etc. The whole place, rogue on a map, just right. Upper Derby, rogue. You can bring in both sides. In other words, if it's too controversial with teachers, whatever. Wouldn't that be something you would do? You're in the business of education, facts, the things that are going on. There's opinion-based in this. Rather than just carte Todd Blanche, a bunch of ignorant kids walking out, saying wild stuff, misspelling every other word, and we have to listen to them. Listen to what? Well, they're afraid about this. I'm going to ask Fred about that. What would he say if they said, well, we're afraid you're going to come here and you're going to be snatching everybody else and that's what ICE is going to do. Why don't these schools then, if it's that hot of a topic that we're seeing massive walkout, Pensbury, another rogue place, of course they'll go down this path. And what it indicates to me is they're not in the business of doing any of that. They're in the business in their own way. of enabling anti-Trump, anti-ice stuff, and ratcheting up the fear. Now, I'm glad the superintendent came on. He's a good guy to come on. But we really differ on this. We have a little bit later a state senator, what YouTube.com slash 1210, a state senator who is someone.
egging fourth graders on. He's there with fourth graders at a protest. And he's asking the fourth grader for the cameras and all. Tell us why you stage this walkout. The kid's pretty articulate for a fourth grader. But we're down to fourth graders now. So if the schools are going to be at this level, don't they have a duty to try to engage on the issue with these kids? Well, we can't do that because they wouldn't want to hear what if Fred Herron had to say. Oh, really? As I said, balance it with somebody on the other side. I think Fred would do it. We'll ask him. He's next. More of your calls. Hit us on the side question, Old West, New West, here on Talk Radio 1210. Let's talk for a minute, though, first.

All right, we welcome back, our friend, former sheriff, podcaster extraordinaire in Bucks County, Sheriff Fred Heron. Once the Sheriff, always the Sheriff. It's the title like Colonel and also. Sheriff, welcome back. Thanks, Tom. Thanks for having me. Well, Fred, when you sit here and see what's going on, Pensbury's next. I'm not sure of the other schools in Bucks County, but we've reached double figures in this area. We had on the superintendent of schools. I, as a former teacher, see this as a teachable moment. They ought to address it rather than just letting kids walk out of school around this. If you were invited, maybe a debate or both sides type of thing, what would you be telling the kids about all this? Well, I'd be telling the kids, you know, the truth about what's going on and some of the folks that, you know, immigration is going after, the same thing what we were doing in the sheriff's office. There's a lot of bad publicity out there, and I'll use publicity because they're using it in a theatrical manner. A lot of this, they're just, they want to keep this momentum going.
uh for let's face it this is all about the 26 election uh you know they use it in the 25 and they're trying to use it against folks in the 26 election but one way or the other you've got to just give the truth of what's going on out there the people that you know that we were looking at here in bucks county the people that immigration is going after a lot of these folks are real bad criminals And, you know, there's also debate about, well, you know, the people that are, you know, just been here and arrested for DUI and convicted of DUI and they're here illegally, are they really bad criminals? Well, they're not until they, you know, blow through a light, you know, at midnight and kill your family. Then they're bad criminals. So it's all about law enforcement, whether you're at a federal level or a state constable, whatever, wherever you are in between, it's about preventing crime. And this, as you know, Domai, we talked about this or a dozen times on your show. This is about preventing crime. This is about getting one more person off the street so they can never commit a crime or hurt. anybody, a citizen or not, anybody in this country that's here visiting, that's here illegally even, that's here, you know, as a U.S. citizen, that's here for work, it's about that. And, you know, they're poisoning, you know, our kids. And, you know, these high school kids, they don't understand. They just watch what they see on television. I would welcome an opportunity to come with somebody else on the other side. You know, I've done it with media. We've had. you know, debates, if you will, and newscasters have had, you know, both sides of the aisle on about these things. And I think, I think it works out well because I understand what the other side is saying. I don't agree with them and that a lot of the information is wrong. And I think a lot of the people out there are just using it for their own, you know, their own agenda to influence the 26 vote. Yeah. And again, Fred, my former background, how I got into this, I was an education teacher, et cetera. This is the teachable moment when we had this superintendent on. We didn't get quite into that. He kept on saying, though, well, these kids are fearful. My response is, well, that's where good information comes in. Isis not storming high schools. And he also said, well, they're going after people who did nothing wrong. Well, if you came into the country, we got to emphasize that, even if you're not the most vicious criminal. Tom Homan says this in proportion, and when I see Tom Homan, I think of you, that, yes, we are targeting the worst here, people with severe things. But if we happen upon you, it's on the table. You are here illegally. Not that that's what your office was going to be engaged in. You were engaged with ICE in a backup role with some of the hardest things that would be gone on in Bucks County. I don't know that we'll ever know by not doing that. Are we allowing more people to roam Bucks County that are violent, that are drug dealers? I mean, there's a drug dealer problem in Bucks County, I-95, and everything else. Of course, if anybody thinks it's not a drug problem in Bucks County, you know, they've been sleeping under a tree for the last hundred years.
And, you know, you're better off cooperating. And Tom Homan has said it 100 times. If you just turned over your people from the jails, if you just cooperated, then we wouldn't have ICE agents on the street. You know, what I was doing in the Bucks County, in the Criminal Justice building is instead of ice going into the courtrooms, you know, that are noticeable and taking people in the custody, my deputies were taking them into custody, bringing them down the back elevators, meeting ice in our Sallyport and turning it over to ice. If we refuse to do that and cooperate, they're going to be on the streets of Bucks County. I don't think the residents understood that. They also have to understand, and I've said it also a hundred times, you know, ICE's job is for anybody that's here illegally, not just the criminals. You know, local law enforcement or local sheriff's officers, I was dealing with just those people that were criminals. Exactly. But ISIS was much broader than that. And people have to understand that. You know, there's many countries, you just can't wander around if you're in that country illegally. And, you know, it's like pulling teeth to get in and out of a country. The United States not so much. You know, I was on the phone this morning. I'm not going to mention the county, but a county in Arizona, right on our border. And I asked them, I was talking to them today, and I said, what have you seen? Have you seen less stuff coming across the border? And they said, absolutely. And the walls getting, you know, put back up and they've got to do some infrastructure fixing. But it's moving ahead. And you're going to see in this country 18 months, the drugs that were coming in have been stopped and will be stopped. And all those folks there, you know, that are in that. side of the aisle, which I certainly and because I also believe in fighting the war on drugs and helping people that are that get addicted, you're going to see a tremendous decrease in those drugs. Now the bad thing about drugs is you're going to see new drugs pop up that don't have to come across the border. But they're not instructing these kids. They're not giving them good information. They're letting them watch what they see on the news. And it's the same clip over and over. You can watch the same scene in Minneapolis 28 times on television. It's not new scenes. It's not 28 different altercations. It's one altercation over and over and over again. And the kids just aren't comprehending that. So I welcome the opportunity to come into a school and be part of a team to tell them. The schools might not agree with some of the things that, you know, I believe in, but at least give them the right information. Yeah, well, Fred, yeah, you know, and you probably know some people that would debate you or give the other side. I would think Danny Seisler has been on the show, as you know, would be perfect. And let kids see those issues, decisions you'd make, how you see it. I don't even know that he's as far away here. You know, I kind of agree. The election was not about that per se. It was about the Trump stuff in general, I think. And there was almost nothing you or the DA could do in Bucks County to deal with that. But I will let you know, Fred. We're going to ask some of these schools.
If you want to let kids walk out, you're not afraid of doing that, even though a lot of people are against it, even though it's a safety issue potentially, then you shouldn't be afraid of bringing a resource like you in and somebody else on the other side. It's a natural. Yeah, you're absolutely right, Dom. Bring me in, bring somebody in, and let the kids ask questions. You know, I find, I was at a community group meeting. I'm still doing a lot of going around the county. I was at two groups this week, Monday and last night. And two people came up and he said, boy, I never realized everything you just told us. I'm like, well, of course you didn't because it doesn't make good for good TV or good politics. People aren't going to tell you that sort of stuff. And it's not possible to tell every single. voter, every single resident, what's going on unless I get to meet them one-on-one, and I would do that. So if somebody wants to host an informational roundtable, I have no fear of doing that. You know, the truth will always, you know, be the right thing to do. And, you know, if Danny and I were on together, you're absolutely right, Don, our thoughts are not that far off. Dan just used them for political, you know, reasons to... taught the talk he did. I don't think he believes that, and I know for a fact. I know for a fact, you know, all the stuff he said the sheriff's office is not doing anymore. We never did it. He had made statements that they're not going to stop people and ask them for what country of origin. Well, there's 80-some-odd sheriffs down. If you could find one that said that I ever said to do that or there was never an order after do that or anybody's ever been instructed to do that, you're not going to find that person because that never happened. Those are just political lies. And that's what they're doing now. I hear you, Fred. I'm so glad you're aboard. We'll make some moves here to see if I'd be happy to moderate it or to come and tape it so we can play some of it back here. It would be information. Yeah, and your podcast going great guns, Fred, where do we find that and what are you doing with it? The podcast is Law and Order Plus. So I've kind of changed the name. Okay. He kind of brought in my viewership. I've kind of, we did one since I left the office. I'm going to do a couple more. There's some things going on now that I will tell you about when I can. But I've kind of put it on hold for right to second until I get a little bit more, more ducks in order. But. We're really trying to build up the brand on this podcast. I really want to make it. It might be a dream that I can't fulfill. I really would like to make it a national podcast. I really want people to tune in. I really want to have some great contact and not just Bucks County. That's why we took the BUX off and, you know, stole bone order. Gotcha.
And I really want to make it into something where people in California are talking about it. Well, you're a natural, Fred. You're entertaining, authoritative. And you and I have differed people point out all the time. That's what I like. Of course, back in the day on the DNA testing. Oh, that was some of the most throwing radio I've ever done with you. And I'm saying, let's book this guy around the clock. Go on. That may have been the first one I ever did with you. I'm like, wait a minute. I thought we had the same mindset. Not on that issue. Well, you know, I have to think about it. We've got to go back on the particulars. But where do we find the podcast again, Fred, when it comes back? What's the title? It's Law and Order Plus, and it's the same locations, anywhere where you get your podcast, YouTube, you know, any of the sites where you get your podcast, all you got to do is Google that, Law and Order Plus, and you'll find the podcast. And I'm looking to start it up again. I mean, we have one episode out since I left the office, but we're lining some things up. I really want to make it a great, great show. All right, Fred. We'll keep us in the loop. We'll let you know if we get a school that's willing to do this. Thank you, Fred, very much. Thanks. All right. Fred Herron here. Let's see if there's score out there. Come here, you can hit me if you can think of anybody, anybody willing to do, and the other side. Both of them. I think Danny might do it. All right, 855, 839, 1210. It is the lightning round next. Domjiudano, weekdays, noon till 3. From Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning round.
Hit us with the Old West, New West. We'll have a winner, and tomorrow we'll have the Grand Prize. Earl of Tacconi on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Earl, welcome in. Hey, Dom. One of my typical stories. Amadeo Pietro Giannini, went and started the Bank of Italy in San Francisco at the beginning of the 1900s. When the San Francisco earthquake hit, and the city was starting to burn down, Gianni looked out his office window and saw the fire approaching. So he went and he loaded all of the bank assets into his horse-drawn cart, basically his car, and drove all the money to his house in San Mateo in order to save the assets. This went and allowed him to have the money to offer loans to help rebuild San Francisco. His bank was a working-class bank, mainly for Italian-Americans and working-class people in San Francisco. Eventually, he bought a smaller bank, and that bank became known as the Bank of America. All right, that's a good one. Not a fan of the Bank of America many times, but that's a great connection. Not a fan of Bofa. No, a lot of stuff they're engaged in even the legal immigration debate. Michael in Wilmington. All right, Michael, what's yours? Good afternoon, Dom. I got a comparison, polar opposites. Lily Langtree from the old West performer versus the actresses and activist actresses of today's West. All right, Lily Langtree. Thank you, Michael. Bill in Bucks, this one is when you have something, it becomes a catchphrase. It's usually pretty good. Bill, what's yours? I just wanted to say thanks for Brian Fitzpatrick's vote, number one. Oh, yeah. We should have a parade. He voted with any other Republican here. You're exactly right, and he's taken a lot of heat from the lower end about this. I'm telling you. Wait a minute, that you think the Save Act, he's taking heat? Absolutely. From Lower Bucks County, that's all Democrat. It's deep blue down there. You know, Falls Township, Bristol Township, Middle Township. That's all blue. I guess they want to be able to cheat in voting, and this goes against it then, huh? And that's Bob Harvey's territory down there, by the way. I'd love to have the esteemed Bob Harvey come on and tell me why we shouldn't have integrity in voting. But Bill, what's yours today? By it today is Gunslingers Beware. Beware of Marshall Dillon. And Dodge City, Kansas, get out of Dodge by midnight. There you go. Get out of Dodge. Catchphrase that we've kept Joe of Eckstein. All right, Joe, what's yours? Hello, Dom. Good afternoon. Afternoon, Joe. In 1931, the American composer, Ferdy Groffey, composed a symphonic poem, which he titled the Grand Canyon Suite, which was a description of the landscape in the American Southwest.
with wild growth cactus and outburst of rainstorms. This description is applicable both in the New West as it was in the Old West. Thank you, Joe. I thought Joe might go with Georgia O'Keefe today, but no, he went even deeper into the classics. Chef Dave closes it out in Oakland. Dave, what's yours? Oh, I got the classic, good and old, new and old. Blazing Saddles. Can't grab from Mr. Mongo. Mongol like candy. All right. Thank you, Chef Dave. All right, Sean, who did you like today? All right. So the first one that I did like, I didn't even know. Earl from Tyconi with the Bank of America. That was actually a really good one. And then I'm going to have to go with Gary with Newtown with Gold Rush and the Poopette. Gold rush to that. Yep, Henry. Oh, man. The answer I really liked today was Robert Ben Salem's The Evolution of the Beaver Dam to the Hoover Dam. That was quite good. I'm going to go with Sean on this one. Gary got the handle there of going from the glamour, at least on paper, the Old West to the poop app in San Francisco. Gary, your name goes into the hat. So tomorrow we'll have the grand finale up in the air, not sure of the side yet. Several were working on. Follow me on Twitter at Dom Show 1210. I may need a Twitter expert. I was all set. Then Dan came in and talked to you to me. And I think it's working, though, because I've seen up and down on this. So I guess it's not frozen. It's the only thing I can. Yeah. Definitely not. Yeah. All right. Follow me on Twitter. We're trying to reach a certain number to see something. At those numbers up. At Dom Show 1210. Yes, it is up from yesterday. Even though it's like the stock market. All right. So Mike Opelka and Linda Kearns here at home Bates. First time together doing this. Live and Local. Live and local. And I think that Linda will be on with me tomorrow as a surprise later in the show. Yeah, 2.30. We got a big surprise to you now. A big surprise tomorrow on a Friday. Also, I'll be on Inside Story. You won't see it tomorrow. We tape until Sunday. And I think Josh Shapiro is on the menu. What could possibly go? Larry Krasner, too. Will he run for mayor? And what I'm going to say, I'll tell you first. Please let him. You imagine the talk radio fodder and then the day after when Mikie Sherrill Parker beats him by 10 points. You know it would happen, Larry. Come on. You know you want to run, though. Come on. Give us a little bit of sport. Clean those glasses, Larry. Great stuff from Kim Ward today, too. $32 million on the mansion. Wow. And the mocks keep fighting that battle out there in Abington. All right. Mike and Linda are next. Talk Radio 1210, WPHT.
