Always live on the free Odyssey app. It's Dom time. Now, Dom Gerdano. All right, it is Dom time, and the doctor is in every Monday, at least every way, shape, or form that we can get them. We want them. Scott Presler with us with a lot breaking on the Presler front here on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Scott, welcome back. Hey, Dom, happy Monday. Well, thank you, Scott. So, Scott, somebody contacted me because we've been teasing this guy that on Twitter issued this statement. You even think about going to this Beaver County watch party, young Republicans for the state of the union. You even think about going and your drink gets roofied. So what's happening with that, Scott? Yeah, it's unfortunate that... even after the attempted assassination of President Trump, just in 2024, and after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, that clearly people are still intent on raising the political temperature, and they still haven't learned that we can have policy disagreements, but we shouldn't threaten, attempt to threaten, alleged to threaten. and even discuss things like roofing drinks like a gentleman did out of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who actually, it appears that he works with the Pensbury Channel and, assumedly, even children at the high school. And I think whether or not he was threatening to make such an attempt, I think even discussing roofies, roofing drinks, et cetera, that is... unacceptable in the realm of politics. It's unacceptable in society. And I think people should be held accountable for their actions. So I don't know how the school is going to ultimately react to that statement. But I hope that it deters other people from making similar statements. You filed a report or you alerted the police. I did. I called the police right away. What did they said?
They filed the report and they said they're going to do an investigation. But I want to make it clear any threat, any attempt, any sort of violent rhetoric out there, after what happened to my friend Charlie, I'm taking everything seriously. And with the work that we are doing every single day, not only in Pennsylvania, but to pass legislation, the work that we are doing is a threat to the political left. And so I'm going to make sure that my safety is paramount. I'm going to protect the safety of my team and I'm going to protect the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. So I hope that this is going to be a learning experience to others. And I hope ultimately that people are going to dial down the violent political rhetoric and focus on policy and not ad hominemes or harming one another. I couldn't agree more. I'm told, though, Scott, that might be a special needs situation here with this guy and working at Pensbury. But still, that does not, I'm on your side, that any kind of threat like this, let alone a death threat, any kind of threat like this, we have to put the kibosh on this. People got to realize they cannot continue to make these threats, whatever their status in life is. And if it's, as I said, what I was told about this guy, well, then somebody that is working with him has to influence this. And I'm so glad you did it with the police. And I'll expect we get a full report from both police. We're living in an atmosphere. And you know how we feel about you and your protection around this. You just can't do this stuff. No, again, whatever somebody's situation in life, every threat will be taken. Every alleged potential threat will be taken seriously and will be reported to the police. The work that we're doing is too critical. And I also want to make it clear that we're not going to let any threat of potential or alleged intimidation stop us from this work. In fact, it only inspires me to work harder. So, you know, if the left wants to make a difference, then out-organize us, out-register us, but don't threaten us with any violence. Before we get to the SAVE Act, and I saw on Twitter, you said, of course, that is your focus and we see progress. Yes. Did you think yesterday, if you watch the halftime, that it did justice to your friend, Charlie Kirk, because certainly America has responded. We could see potentially 45, 50 million views ultimately. And it shows you that's the way to do it. If you disagree with what's happening, don't just... talk about what the opposition is doing, provide an alternative, right? Yep. When Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook and everybody was shutting us down on social media, what did we do? We pivoted. We created Truth Social. We created Getter. There is Telegram. And now look at today. Dina Jerome Powell McCormick, wife of...
Senator Dave McCormick is the president of CEO. Now we have X. Now we have Rumble. Now we are in control of social medias all across. the world globally. And so ultimately, I think it's a learning experience and what Turning Point did well is, okay, sure, they acknowledged that they disagreed with the Super Bowl performance, but as opposed to just shouting at the sky, they went, okay, we're going to pivot, we're going to offer an alternative, and we're going to offer a positive alternative. And I think each of us can learn from that. Never provide a problem without providing. a solution. Now, the Save Act, we see various things. How many days is this with John Thune, listening to Scott Press 40? Today's day 40. Do you see hopeful signs here? It seems in theory that people are on board. The polling certainly indicates Americans are on board with this. What can you tell us, Scott? Well, I just kept my promise after visiting members. On the Hill, I met with Representative Anaplena Luna, Representative Kat Cammack, both out of Florida, Representative Burleson out of Missouri, Representative Timmons, out of South Carolina. And I had the great, extraordinary opportunity to meet with both Senators Mike Lee and Senator Rick Scott. And I can tell you, each of those ferocious warriors are working tirelessly on behalf of the American people and to make sure that we have election integrity reform. And then I went to the Great American Outdoor Show. So as people will probably notice, I'm going to be spending a little less time in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania because now I need to elevate and make sure that we are using our collective peaceful pressure. to ultimately pass legislation on behalf of the people of PA. So my team is still there on the ground in Harrisburg. They'll be there all week registering voters. But I'm going back to Capitol Hill tomorrow when I hear that the Save America Act, different than the Save Act because it provides proof of citizenship plus voter ID, that Congressman Chip Roy's bill may be voted on even as early as midweek. And so once that happens, you'll have the proof of citizenship plus voter ID. And now we just need more co-sponsors for the Save America Act in the Senate. And then bring it to the floor. And ultimately, let's send this piece of legislation that has 76% of black American support, 82% of Latino American support, and 85% of white Americans support. This piece of legislation has overwhelming...
uh support from the american people and so therefore it should be a slam dunk for every member of congress to support it and so i'm more confident that we can but i need all of y'all especially to contact your senators and the capital senate switch board is two oh two 221, 3121. So you can see, I'm so into this that I've memorized that number by now, 202, 224, 3121, and that's the switchboard that you can contact for any senator. If you're listening to the Dom Show from Maryland or Virginia or Pennsylvania, you'll be able to get your senator. Scott John Fetterman looks like he could vote for this or at least the voter ID part, right? He went on Maria Bartaromo on FACS news. They just posted about that today. And he indicated that voter ID is not unreasonable. Now, if you listen, he said a couple things that I think are important to note. So he said voter ID is not unreasonable, you know, has clear support. But he didn't say anything about citizenship. And, you know, we all know the status of what's happening within his personal life. And then furthermore, he said that he doesn't think it will pass because of the filibuster, but he didn't say anything about the talking filibuster or the fact that we can pass it with 51 votes. I actually just called, I called Representative Chris Deluzio Democrat out of Beaver County and Allegheny County to meet with him. And I called Senator John Fetterman's office today to also schedule a meeting with him. So hopefully I will have the opportunity to meet with both members of Congress to talk to them about passing the Save America Act to secure our elections for the 26 midterm elections. Scott, any before we give where people can reach you, contribute, volunteer, keep up the fight? Any Pennsylvania numbers, registration numbers? Not good, guys. You know, unfortunately, the Democrats are gaining ground in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And so if you don't want Governor Josh Shapiro to go from Pennsylvania governorship to Pennsylvania Avenue, I think, you all need to really get serious. The Democrats had more others switched to Democrat, and the Democrats had more Republicans switched to Democrat. So I appreciate all the support, and I appreciate everybody does for us at early voteaction.com, but we really need more people, you know, on the ground. If you're happy with President Trump fighting for peace globally and securing our border and bringing back jobs, you know, then... We need to register voters, get them to register Republican and get them to vote in the May 19th primary. But if you're not happy, then, you know, look forward to potential four years of Biden 2.0 with, you know, Gavin Newsom or Governor Josh Shapiro or Pete Buttigieg. You know, so the choice is yours to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. But it has, it was not a good week for voter registration. And so I hope this is a.
a peaceful kick in people's behinds to understand that. You know, we need more help on the ground. Absolutely, Scott. Where do we go for all things? Scott Presler. My social media is all Scott Pressler. And I look forward to sharing with you guys all week long my upcoming meetings with members of Congress. And I promise you, the reason why I sound a little bit under the weather is because I've been traveling in the cold for you guys every day. And I promise you that I'm going to be like a dog on a bone and we are not letting it go until we get the Save America Act. on President Trump's desk to be signed into law, and that is a commitment. Absolutely, without a doubt. Scott, thank you so much. Be safe, be warm, and we'll continue to up people on what you say on Twitter about all this. Thank you, Scott. Thank you guys. Bye. All right, Scott Presler, a little bit drowsy there. I can tell today, but still in the fight. He's got the Super Bowl hangover. Yeah. No, not a national holiday after that game last night. I mean, it gets over at 10, 30, 11 o'clock. It's not like it's over one in the morning. Was it 1108 that it was over? Yeah, it was something like that. It's all the snacks and probably a few beverages too. All right. So 855, 8, 3, 9, 12, 10, several people texting me saying, oh, yeah, where we were, some guys said, we're going to flip over to the alternate show or something like that. Anybody have a problem with that? You heard, Dan, leave. Oh, man. I don't know if the guy's wife said, whoa, come on that. What are we doing here? I thought some would say if you want to watch Bad Bunny go in the kitchen or go down the basement. The big screen here is going to be the other. That's been good. Yeah. I don't know what it was like. And some maybe they didn't even offer and said, no, we're watching Bad Bunny and that's it. Did anybody have anybody that spoke Spanish fluently there translating this stuff? And if they did, some of the things, Henry, I think you're right. I think there were several. They were clever about it, though, that they bleeped, even though in Spanish. Again, the one woman that I've had on Liz Weir or on Twitter just writes out the stuff that he was on a couple of songs. Yeah. Pretty amazing. It's super. Well, it's in Spanish show. Nobody knows. I did see a funny joke in Spanish on Twitter where it was like, to all the English speakers complaining that you couldn't understand the half-bolt or halftime show, neither could we. Ah, all right. 855, 839, 12, 10. Hit us on the side. Something associated with America, given all this turmoil over the weekend, hit us with that at 85583, 9, 12, 10. You heard Scott, too, what's up? You heard what I'm told pretty reliably. There might be a special need situation here, but.
I think the school district's got to go public and say, right, here's what we did here. You can't have a guy on Twitter saying, you go to this, you're going to get a hit with a roofie. I mean, you just, and I think Scott, I'm hoping he's going to announce at one of these events coming up in Beaver County. I was even thinking about going there. Roe wants to go to Pittsburgh. Now, I used to say, oh, what's in Pittsburgh? I think it would be okay. It's only four hours and 48 minutes. From here to there. Put ketchup on your hot dog. Yeah, exactly. We might go if Presler is going to actually do that because I'm telling you, having him in the house in Pennsylvania, oh my God. Woo! The Republicans would be in fear, not just the Democrats. That's what's going to happen. He comes in. He's the tallest guy in the room. Exactly. Well, when he wears the hair back, then you know it's going to be a formal all-out, like with Diane Morseglia. As soon as I saw the hair, I know what's going to happen. Yeah, it's his version of taking off the gloves. Exactly. And when Diane said, bring it on. Okay. Diane, come back on the show. Come on. You used to come on. It'd be fun. All right, A55, 839, 12. We're striking out in Bucks County. Brian Fitzpatrick, Diane Mersaglia there, AWOL. The sheriff did come on, and if you missed it, it'll be up on the station's Twitter, on my Twitter. I think it's worthy to put it up there, Henry, the superintendent of schools in Upper Darby came on. And when I asked about why they met with the students and approved a walkout. He talked about, you know, the fear that they have. And the fear, it was, we're back and forth about, well, nobody's done anything wrong here. We're not talking about rapists or murders. And I insist it, their parents, like, let's leave the kids out of this. The parents did do something wrong. It is criminal. It's not just this idea of a misdemeanor. It's not. And no matter how the left tries to wear us down on this. It's come to a head because of how excessive it was with Biden. It's been going on for quite a while. But in the Biden years, even I can't imagine that 20 million people came into the country illegally. But any number of groups that I think are legit have fixed it at that. If that's the case, it is just beyond enormous. So yeah, they did do something wrong. That's the first premise. I would go in a heartbeat if invited over it. He came on a hump turf here. Imagine Henry asked me anything there at Upper Darby High School. Oh, man. Of course, she'll be there just as Dan was to back me up in case there's any trouble. Sure. We did have a producer. Some guy came into a diner remote and the guy was terrified. This guy was Jim who works at KYW. He's not big at all, but he's terrifying. Yeah. Yeah, he just did Hulk Hogan to the guy, just the whole thing. Brother. Mayfair diner, too. Guy took a bus out there to do this and come in and start yelling. Oh, man. He's getting all the bus. I see it coming. All right, 855, 839, 12. 10, it is time for. It's Dom's Money Melody. Man, Zola, MoneyCon.
All right, today we are playing for a pair. First of all, Money Melody, sponsored by NavyLig Philly.org. This is the group you want to join up with. It's really simple, and you will enjoy all the events they do and the great work they do around Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, and all that. They're the ones we watch the Army Navy game with Navy League Philly.org. Today you will get a pair of tickets to Love Always an evening of romance inspired by the Great American Songbook, Broadway and classic pop this Friday. I know where it must be. February 13th at our favorite spot, the Zlock Performing Arts Center in Bucks County. For tickets and more information, visit bucks.edu slash tickets. Okay, Henry. Yeah, so side question. We're asked for something that's associated with America, uniquely American, American things, essentially. Yes. So I'm going to play you an all-American woman playing an all-American cover of Tom Petty's American girl. I want to know this American artist, who I've learned isn't as big of a superstar as I think she is. Over in Asia, if you were to ask someone say your age, they'd have no idea who this person is, or even younger. Okay. I think the cutoff was age 40 and over. They have no idea who this person is. So I want to know this uniquely American superstar covering Tom Petty here. Let's take a listen.
Very recognizable voice. Don't know if it takes too much to get this one. When you said all that, it reminded me of when... Kramer and Newman were bringing in the records, and they said that Ricardo Monabon, I think it was, couldn't even go to the bathroom in South America. Yeah. It was more for the record. He goes, I don't care. This is the opposite. If this artist goes to say South Korea, people can be like, oh, you're from America, right? Like, not the same cachet here. Okay. 855, 839, 12, 10. Hit us with that. You are off to the Zlock. Hit us also with the... Something that is all-American, something associated with America at 2.30. We'll talk with the great Linda Kearns. Chester County is at it again. And people in Chester County, oh, I like horses. It's nice out here. I don't care how they screw up elections. Remember, every time one of these counties screws up, what does it do? It undermines any confidence in elections. And we're the ones told, well, you're always trying to undermine. No, we're just monitoring how incompetent you are and arrogant you are. And you can't run things. That's the bottom line. All right, you're with Dom, 855, 839, 1210. This is Dark Radio 1210. WPHT on demand, on demand. It's Dom, money melody. Where has all the money gone? Show me to my... All right, it is time again. Here's today's clue for Dom's Money Melody.
I want this all American girl. I want this all-American girl. Oh, Joe of Columbus. Back for a second bite at the apple today. Let's see if he gets a nice chunk here. All-Oh, who is it? Hey. Dom, long time, no speak. Yeah. That, to me, sounds like Cindy Lauper. It does, without a doubt, but no, Joe. Hank, which Henry apparently likes being called by. I never would have suspected that. Close friends, yeah, totally. Yeah, we might always have to do all-time Hank's. I got one for tomorrow already, I think you'll like, yeah, because of closing of the Cabits room over in Cherry Hill. I love the foreign... phrase or language like gibbitts, particularly Israeli expressions. Hank in Newtown Square. Hank, who is it? I say it's Sabrina Carpenter. No. You're on the right path. She was dope being the potato chip ad, too. From the same area, I should say. Jim and Wayne, Jim, who is it? Yo, Jim. Hey, hi. Hi. Hi. Who is it? Hey, how are you doing? Good. Britney Spears. All right, well, take it off air. You want to give another clue? Yeah. Yeah. She hails from West Redding, Pennsylvania. Ah, okay. A pretty big superstar. I thought this would be a layup. Yeah, I don't know one person from there. I think it's a layup, too. But she's good at masking before. That might be too much of a clue if I set a cover we played of her before. I want to say too, this is probably when she was more country rather than pop. Right. Maybe that's what's throwing people off a little bit. Yep. Yep. Okay. It's a big, big star. Huge. Yeah, I think it was, what did that number? Did I give $366 million? Yeah, I think she is the biggest tour of all time that she just completed last year. Who is from Reading? I didn't know it was the west side of town. I don't know Reading. Well, I've only been there twice. Not my kind of town. All right, let's go to Robert and Ben Salem while we get that winner. Hey, Robert, afternoon. Hey, Dom, Hank. It's good to talk to you guys. Thanks, Rob. That's peculiar to me, but we'll work with it. It works for me. I like the prior answer of jazz because I'm a big fan of jazz myself. But the beautiful thing about jazz is that it can't be lip-sync, Dom. Because I hate lip-syncing as much as you, and every time I think about it, I remember when the Mamas and Pappas were on the Ed Dan Sullivan Show, and they wanted them to lip-sync California Dreaming. And none of them were happy with that idea, but they went up. But when they were playing his song...
Oh, geez, Michelle Phillips was eating a banana when she was supposed to be singing. Oh, I love that video. That is a great protest. It's a really big show. Put down that banana, honey. But at any rate, from my side answer, I'm going to go a little abstract because it's something that we don't get enough credit for on the world stage in my view. And that is generosity. And the reason why I say that is because our federal government gives far and above more world aid than any other country on the earth. But they are the number two when it comes to generosity. The most generous entity on the face of the earth is the American people on a private level. Exactly. We are one, two, and I think we should get more credits for that. We are the most generous country on the face of the earth. I'll leave it there. And you guys have a great day today, Doc. Thank you, Robert. That's an excellent answer. I don't think that's indisputable. All right. Coming up, Linda Kearns with us. We'll get her take on Super Bowl as stuff, but mainly Chester County. Remember the vote issue is added again. And remember. You know, often they accuse talk radio trying to undermine the integrity of voting. No, they're the ones that are incompetent. And what's wrong with people in the suburbs where they don't go, hey, let's take a look at the Republicans. Maybe they would be competent. What in the world has taken over? I mean, in Montgomery County. We told you today they had the ice out people. They're scurrying. And we'll give you an update maybe tomorrow in Eagleville because ice was surrounding a house. You know how progressive and the worst progressives of all in Delco, what have they raised taxes? Like 42% something like that. I mean, usually that gets you. Chester County has a maniac here illegally escapes, crab walks up. They were told this could happen across the county. They have this debacle. They wait three months and then they do nothing. Now they have another one. Bucks County is a place of relative sanity, I'd have to say. Well, there is Bob Harve, Harv-Dagross Harvey. All right, phone lines are 855, 839. 12. Hey, everybody. Lady Luck here. And we're celebrating America's 250th birthday. Now, all summer long, I'm going to be celebrating by playing on SpinQuest.com, which is an American-owned social casino.

I don't think you ever did a halftime show. Now, that's big. The one thing I gave Dom Girodano's show, Bad Bunny, is it was big. That's the first requirement. After that, well... We're seeing unbelievable numbers. Reaching 50 million views is possible here. I know they'll say, but that wasn't concurrent during the time. You get 50 million views on YouTube. Something's happening here. We'll go to Linda Kearns in a moment, but we might have a winner here. We played you and gave you enough clues West Redding. Greg in the Northeast, who is it that's covering that song today, Greg? I can't believe it took that many guesses. Taylor Swift. Yes, it is. And I'm such a fan. Henry Tomorrow, we should play that in honor. Nicely played, Greg. The cover that she did with Eminem of the music, The Moment. I can listen to that all the time. It's about sports. It's about life. Taylor Swift was 10 or 12 when she did, I think 12, but still. She was older than that. No, the M&M thing. She wasn't at old, I don't think. Twelve is too young. Yeah, I think she was. All right. YouTube.com slash 1210 WPHT, Linda Kearns from her plush law offices and Elvis collection checking in. Hey, Linda, good afternoon. Hey, Tom, how are you? That was quite the introduction. We try. So, Linda, where you were watching, if you were yesterday, what was the vibe around halftime? Wait, what was yesterday? I mean, once the Eagles were out of it, as far as I'm concerned, the football season was over for me. So why? What happened yesterday? Oh, okay. Well, then, yeah, Elvis wasn't there. We weren't going to do reprise of Elvis. He's big enough. Go ahead. I did watch the turning point, a halftime show. I enjoyed that. Yeah, other than Kid Rock lip syncing, the rest of it, particularly the second song he did, I think, was very moving. He did a really good job with it. unlike what goes on in Chester County. So Linda, what are they up to now? So this was actually in votebeat.org today that the county sent out mail ballot applications to people who are on what's called the permanent list, which means that you request the county send you a mail ballot application every year. And the county sent them out. It looks like about 140, 150,000 of them. And for some reason, rather than prepopulating with the first name, last name, they read.
pre-populated it incorrectly. So your last name was where your first name should be. Your first name was where your last name should be. And apparently, according to the article, the county... found out about it from the newspaper or this online journal contacting them, they didn't even post anything on their website until a couple days later. And that means about 140, 150,000 voters got an application with the information pre-populated incorrectly. And what they're saying is, well, it won't really affect anything that. The vendor did it. Again, let's blame it on somebody else. Blame it on the vendor and it won't really affect anything. But I don't necessarily, number one, believe it won't affect anything. And how many times do these people have to be told that it's their responsibility? You can't blame it on the vendor. I don't understand why these things are not getting proofread. Yes, don't they do a test. They run it off. Given their situation, Linda, I'd have you in there. And I don't know, DJ my son, who's relentless. And you're going to run it 100 times. We're going to see maybe 101. Let's run it. Let's see how it comes out. They're just skating with this stuff. According to the article, they got the test. They sent the file to the printer, and then the printer sends back a sample, and the sample looked correct. But the proofreading has to go beyond that. I mean, for your listeners, imagine if you ordered wedding invitations, and the wedding, they sent you a proof, and the proof looked great, great, that's great. But that's not the only thing you look at. When the actual invitations come back, you also... Take a look at those to make sure they're correct before you send them out to your guests. And maybe, you know, these election administrators because, you know, it's not their money. They're just not taking enough responsibility for this. And it's unfathomable that this is still going on. And of course, you and I remind all the time, you and I are in the business of trying to say election integrity, you're the best in the country that I know of, insisting on that down the line. And they just don't seem to get that, Linda, out there in Chester County. What in the world should people suspect in the next election? Given how slipshod this is.
And, Dom, this is going to be a problem. And you know who it's going to be a problem for? Generally, for Republicans, independents, and libertarians, because they're the ones who tend to stay home when you start to hear that the elections are not going to be fair and safe and guarded. So this could really hurt the chances of anyone who's trying to vote that way. That's one thing. Number two, where is Josh Shapiro? Where is Al Schmidt? Where's the head of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania? Where's the Chester County Republican Party? This is a... This is a local problem. Election administration is local. It's not a federal government issue. It's a local issue. And this needs to be handled. And frankly, you know, I had a conversation this morning with our mutual friend, Jodi Felice, my partner in crime, my election and law soulmate this morning because we're both Philadelphia residents. And we talked about how, you know, we've worked so hard in Philadelphia for so many years. We actually trust Philadelphia now more than we trust the Collar counties. I would rather have my ballot counted in Philadelphia than I would in Chester, Bucks, Montgomery, or Delaware County because these counties cannot get their act together. And it's a problem. That's the most shocking statement of the day. Look, I trust you on this, but man, I got to think about that. Wow. It's that bad. Well, you know what, Don? Because you're talking, you're talking to someone who was actually there, who actually was physically there during the last election. I was down at that motor warehouse. I was watching. I was on constant meetings with them. I had poll watchers. I had observers there. I was in control. I was watching what was going on. The system is not perfect. And I wish there was a lot of differences in our Pennsylvania election code. I wish that we had. more of power to object when we see something going wrong in the counting. And the system does require lots of observers and lots of poll watchers and people willing to be poll workers, which unfortunately we tend to only get in these federal election years, like these presidential years. But Philadelphia has somewhat gotten their act together. And these situations that we keep hearing about are happening in these Collar counties. And Republicans better wake up or we're not going to win anything this year. Well, I always go, you said something else to it. Let me bring Republicans into this. You think they would be calling me and Henry here and saying we want to come on. We want to expose this for two reasons. Sometimes it's the right thing. And certainly it's the politically right thing. to say, do you want to be known as an incompetent county, arguably among the wealthiest, highest educated in Pennsylvania, and they can't send anything out correctly?
Absolutely. Absolutely. And where is Josh Shapiro? Where is Al Schmidt? Why are they not doing anything about this? This is an absolute disgrace. Where are the voters for that county? And you know what, Dom? This kind of ties into all this talk about this SAVE Act and this insistence by Republicans that now we need to federalize elections. And this of anything will show us that these elections are local responsibilities. And all of these federal laws are not going to. going to do anything to correct these ongoing issues that we have. We have this issue in Chester County. I have a lawsuit in Lackawanna County. These things are just continuing to go on and on and on. And these are local issues. And the local, the local parties, the local elected leaders need to do something about it. Have we ever seen a situation where the state, like they did with Philadelphia and the school, says, look, we can't have this going on. We're going to put in something supportive. or you have to report to us directly. I would consider that with Chester County. Okay. Well, our election code doesn't necessarily allow something exactly like that. And unfortunately, our Secretary of State is more of an advisory role. But there are still things that can be done. If I was Secretary of State, I would probably have been in Chester County for the last month and not left until I made sure that they all knew what they were doing. I mean, what exactly is the Secretary of State's office doing if they're not going to be supportive of these counties who cannot get it together? And if we want the... the state government to have a little more oversight into our counties, then these legislators have to start proposing actual reforms to our election code. And if Josh Shapiro wants to be, you know, president of the United States, you would think that he would be beaten down the door about election, common sense election reform. So this is a disgrace for based. for everybody, the leaders, the local leaders, the legislators, the legislators, and Republicans all over better take a look at this and say, look, this is really going to affect us going into these elections because our voters are the ones who look at this and say, Gosh, you know, if they can't even get it together to know that the first name goes where the first name goes and the last name goes where the last name goes, how are they going to count these ballots correctly? Absolutely. Linda, so you're on with Dawn and then you're on on the afternoon show on Thursday and Friday with Mike Opelka. Interesting combination. Yep, I'm always on with Dawn on Wednesdays, which is the favorite part of my week. I mean, I love being a lawyer, but I do love coming to the studio. But then, yes, Thursday and Friday from 3 to 6, I'm trying out for the afternoon show with Michael Pelka. And Michael Pelka and I do really well together. And let me add that we're both local, which I think is very important for the WPHT listeners. Oh, all right. I'll take that under advisement and send that to Greg Stocker. Henry, get on that. Send that cut right now.
All right, Linda. We'll see you on Wednesday. And thank you so much for always persevering on these voting issues. This article in Vote B did notice how the local radio station called for the director in Chester County to resign. And I think that they were referring to you. Oh, well, very, very nice. And Linda, by the way, when you have a chance there in your plush law office, check out Villa Don, D-O-N-Gerdano. I got a note over the weekend from Google Alert. It's my namesake, and it's one of the most expensive villas luxury in Croatia in the world. So what, do we want to try and take it over so you have a nice retirement? Yeah, well, no, I want to go there and broadcast from there. And you know what, Dom, if you ever want to do a more in-depth podcast on these issues because I know that we're limited by commercial breaks and everything, I'd be happy to do it because I think our listeners want to kind of know more about this and then they'll be more educated so that they can go to their representatives because I've done this. I'm a lawyer. I've done this election, these elections here in the state now. I'm not just, I'm not on, you know, constantly on Twitter. I don't get my information from Twitter. I've actually done it. So if you ever like to do a podcast. I do want to do it. to do it. So when you're on Wednesday, let's talk about setting it up. Yes. All right. Okay. Thanks, Lisa. And thank you, Henry. Thank you so much for booking me. You're one of my faves. Oh, you're too kind. Let's see that. Dom, I'm trying to kiss up to the producers. So I think it'll help in this whole tryout. I'm hitting the drop button. Henry's got that with the Zoom. Thank you, Linda. Okay. Set that up, Henry. When she comes in, we can set up a time to do that. Special billing and all that, you know, in depth for people that we want to turn people out to vote. I don't care what they do in Chester County. We still want you to turn out vote no matter what. That's it. We've talked about this. But my goodness, it's an indictment of the suburbs. That's the biggest thing that is amazing to me. Just competency. All right, it is the lightning round. Hit us with something associated with America next on Talk Radio 1210. Thanks for listening to Talk Radio 1210 WPHT on demand. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning round. Oh, Dr. Giaccio, I think Zeno says a pretty good one here. No one to have recency bias. Let's go to Zenos in Upper Darby. By the way, if you missed it, the interview with the superintendent, we're always glad he comes on. That'll be up on podcasts, et cetera, et cetera. Zenos, what's yours today? Good afternoon, Dom. We got to make it fast. Mine is an all-americana. It started in 1905. It's Harley-Davidson. And you know what their slogan was, put something exciting between your legs. Thank you, Zenos. I can see. You know, Zenos has to come to the next, you know, either. Oh, if he's cracking jokes like that. Zinos, we will give you a five minute, you know. Johnny has a special place there. We'll put you on a little platform. You know, the Greeks invented vodka. Oh, I thought it was a Russian Zinos. No, no, no, untrue. The Earl of Tacconi. Earl, what's yours today?
Real quick, you had the school superintendent on. And he says that, remember when it snowed? And they said, well, we have to learn remotely because the kids can't miss any school. Right. Of course, the kids can miss school going to these protests, which is interesting. But he said that the kids are protesting because ICE is deporting citizens. And like, well, ICE isn't deporting citizens? Isn't that the teacher's job and the school district's job to teach the kids that they're not being, citizens are not being deported? Well, true. Yeah, but that's their argument. That is, look, Upper Darby is a hotbed of this. And Earl, we might have somebody on tomorrow from there, and this is going to be another shootout because they're just an outlaw community now. They're determined, and they wonder why ICE won't talk to them. Earl, what's your side? Well, you already eliminated baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie, so I'm going to have to go Chevrolet. The American automobile, large vehicles, muscle cars. I mean, sure, Italy has the Lamborghini and vehicles like that. But you go over to Europe and they have these tiny little cars. Sure, Japan sells the tundra in the United States, but you won't see a tundra in Japan. They all have tiny little vehicles. It's the big vehicles in America that make America what it is. Well, I'm not a fan of the SUVs taking up my parking space here on Chestnut Street. I know I can get another car in there. I'd like to put down some markers and you've got to fit in that. That's socialism right there. Everyone gets an equal spot. But why does everybody think they can drive an SUV into the city and they're going to park? I don't get that. I agree with that. You can have a hard time. I can park, you know, banging back and forth, that kind of thing, little moves and all in the space, but not with an SUV. Joe of X-in, Joe, what's yours today? Yes, hello, Dom, and good afternoon. Afternoon, Joe. One of the unique features of American society and culture is that... It allows the individual personal responsibility for growth and intellectual development, whereas communism places the individual in a role that it wants him to assume in society. Thank you, Joe, as always on brand. I like this one, Eileen in Lansdale. Eileen, what's yours? Hi, Dom. Yeah, I have someone who, we who live on the East Coast, often forget their contribution, and that's the American cowboy, who helped move the wagon trains west. They corralled the horses. They moved cattle. And I think they played a huge part in the development of this country. Without a doubt. It's sad that those Dallas Cowboys have the name, but okay. Yeah. Bill in Bucks, Bill, what do you have today? Oh, by the way, tell Linda Kearns she can trust me when I do the count out here in Bucks County. Okay. Well, we're going to work it up this podcast. This is going to be intricate. I'm putting a mandatins on Linda Kearns to do this. So watch for this bill. Yeah. Well, you know, there's a lot of Republicans that are in that count, too, you know. It's not just all Democrats. What's yours? Oh, my. Oh, yeah. It's something unique to America is rock music.
Okay, and it was the day the music died when the plane crashed with Buddy Holly and. Yeah, Don McLean interviewed him. It was great to talk to guy, genius, maybe a one hit wonder, a couple of other things. All right. Sean, who did you like today? Give us somebody. So my favorite one actually was. One, it was Zenos. I actually had liked him when he was talking about Harley-Davidson. I actually had liked Joe from Columbus with Barbershop. That was actually one of a good one. And then I'm going to have to go with Jesse with jazz music from Drexel Hill. All right. And how about you, Henry? Yeah, I really liked Zenos's answer. I also liked Joe's answer of the Barbershop. You know, and if I had to do another one, why not Jen in Philadelphia with the hot dog? Don't have those anywhere else. I would go with... All right, which Joe, and who'd you say before, Joe? Zenos. Zenos. Yeah, Zenos. I'd go with Zenos today on that. He strikes me as what America's all about coming here. A little bit too much of Greek culture, but we have to allow it, you know. Yeah. All right. Coming up, Tony Bruno, Harry Mays, will be coming your way. We're back tomorrow, noon until three. All that happening here on Talk Radio, 1210. WPHT.
