From the Piazza Premium Automobile Studios, powering your drive with 10 brands and 20 locations. Always live on the free Odyssey app. It's Dom time. Now, Dom Gerdano. All right, it is Tom Time. Welcome in 855, 839, 1210, AT&T and Verizon Wireless. All you have to do is just push pound 1210. One thing before we go to Chris Tremaglia from Washington Examiner, be watching for it. Maybe you've seen over the weekend, and we'll put up some on YouTube. All kind of school walkouts going on now. All kinds of indoctrination flags upside down in the classroom. Little kids, anti-ice, dragooning these kids. And who in the world thinks that that's going to be appealing when people see it? And what they forget, the internet's there, social media is there. We have all kinds of conservative media that's going to be out there showing this stuff. And it's monstrous, particularly these young kids, To have them marching around in this anti-ice pageant, as if they know what they're doing. Hard to know if the parents are on board with this or not. Some of these are in public schools. And I think you're going to see it here in Philadelphia once the ice on the street fades a bit. But it's now a thing. Just in the last week toward the end of last week. It really started to ratchet up. Tremendous number of these across the country, tremendous number of sightings around that. All right. Chris Tremagli first came to my attention. When he invited me or invited myself, I forget what, we were at Penn. And Candice was speaking there. And Penn was almost in a lockdown for a riotous situation. He was the head of a Republican group there. He since has gone on to be an editor and feature writer, contributor, for the Washington commentary writer for the Washington Examiner. He's got a couple of pieces up of interest. One is about what we saw last night at the Grammys. The other about the toll of people in this country illegally. versus all the glowing things that we hear. I want to ask him, though, last night we saw them dust off at the Grammys, the added line. You hear this all the time. Well, no person is illegal. But now they've added, no person is illegal on stolen lands. Okay. The stolen lands things from people worth $50 to $100 to $200 million.
Let's go to Christopher Tramagli on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Chris, welcome back in. Thanks for joining us. Hey, Dom, thanks for having me. And how much has changed with Candace Owens since the days that we saw her? Yes. It's amazing how ghastly it is. And it seemed to be triggered by... glomming on the Charlie Kirk in some way and her anti-Semitic vibe. I don't know who would hire her, Chris, or follow her. You know, I guess outrage will always get you some kind of audience. Yeah, you have me on that one. I used to hold her in high regard. And then after, you know, she kind of like went off on the ramp here on her on Deep, and I kind of like lost interest in her and stopped supporting her. Yeah, well, I almost said, instead of Candace Owens, I almost said Candice Parker was on the tip of my tongue. I'm thinking, what the hell? Yeah, I prefer Candace Parker over Candace Owens nowadays, if that makes sense. Yeah. So, Chris, let's start with the Grammys, precious in our minds from last night. You got a column up today. And, you know, with the pin wearing, et cetera, are there any celebrities we see? that I know of, particularly the type of crowd of the Grammys doing what they're doing, if they want to wear the anti-ice pin, would it kill them to at least be a poser and talk about Lake and Riley? Why do we always have this ability to bring it back to that? Well, that's the thing, that's a troubling thing that should cause concern for everyone. If you want to voice your anti-ice opinions, go right ahead. You also have to take into consideration that Lake and Riley, Rachel Moraine, Joshua and Mangari, all these innocent people were killed. specifically because of the policies implemented by left-wing politicians in this country. They allowed criminal legal immigrants to come into the country, cross the border, consequence-free, and as a result, these women died, and countless others that don't even get the news stories or that we're not familiar with or whatnot. So it's really upsetting, actually, and manning that if you think about it, that they don't. basically care about what's going on with these innocent women and their lives don't matter to them. They have to create a narrative and advance their radical illegal immigration ideology that's pretty much damaging and dangerous to this country. Chris, the Washington Examiner, great website. Is there a physical paper still for the Washington Examiner? No, just the website. There's a website. We have a magazine that comes out once a week. One of your colleagues, Byron, York, who we also read in addition to you a couple weeks ago, 10 days ago, wanted to ask you, put up the existential question. Trump ran on mass deportation. The optics and some of the situations ICE got into, and the explanation by Bovino and Kristi Noem were out of bounds. Most people see that, at least strategically.
So Byron York writes, essentially, do we have the stomach for mass deportation, if done appropriately? I think that's a great question. So I'm projecting down the line at the end of Trump's tenure. I think this is going to be slowed down because the other side has the media, because some mistakes have been made here maybe, because of the ferocity of these kamikaze Karens out there. You don't want to have horrific killings every day. It's hard to have people see that and not turn away. So what do you think? Does a country have the stomach to do that? I think the country has the stomach. And, I mean, the presidential, 2024 presidential election was a referendum on that. Most of the people, you know, Trump around. It's not like he, like, pivoted or did something, you know, this was his thing. So, yeah, the problem is, as you nailed it on the head there, was that the media is kind of being the arm of the Democrats, you know, communications and messaging at this point because they're pretty much. putting out a narrative, a left-wing narrative that only shows one side of the story. Yeah, it was a tragic what happened with Renee Good and Alex Predey. No one wants to see American citizens die. However, if you look at the actual numbers... The Democrats' illegal immigration policy have caused more murders, more deaths in this country than anything ICE has done. And you never hear that in the legacy media. There are no reports. There's no news stories on that. And that's the troubling thing that kind of leads to a mass indoctrination of the population and is done purposely to influence public opinion, to persuade people to try to believe the left-wing side of the story. So does the American people, do the American people have the stomach for mass? I agree. The deportations, absolutely. But it's going to be hard when you have a, you know, legacy media kind of promoting a narrative that runs counter to that messaging. And Trump is going to have his battles ahead of him. So it's going to be difficult, but it is possible. Well, and Chris, that's your column, too. Democrats' immigration policies have caused much more death than violence than ICE, including charts and graphs and documentation on that at the Washington Examiner. So, Chris, where do we find your work in the Washington Examiner? You can Google my name, Christopher Tramoy, for the Washington Examiner, or you can give me a follow on X. It's at Chris W. Trimo. That's at Chris W.T-R-E-M-O. Thank you, Chris, as always. Any time. Thanks for coming on today. No problem. Thanks for having me. Hi, Christopher Tremaglia here on Talk Radio 1210. Yeah, I'm thinking Candice Parker. Why am I thinking of Candace Owens? All right. Let me play you, and then I'm coming to the call. It's got a lot of people waiting. Something associated with being Catholic is aside today. This is cut 16, Henry. Riley Gaines making another great point. This is what you're up against. Last night, these posers at the Grammys.
will pivot toward saying they're just compassionate. They have empathy and all that. Really? Do you really think that's what they say on a regular basis? Here's Riley talking about how the media, though, has weaponized all those things, saying Republicans lack these qualities. Now, think about it. Think about Zohran Mamdani. Other than the New York Post and talking about it here, and I heard Rich talking to Dawn about that too today. You don't hear this callousness, at least I see it. Did Zohran Mamdani run on the idea of saying rugged individualism? If you want to stay out and freeze to death in New York, you have every right to do that. That's what he's saying. He calls it a homeless encampment. Like there is such a thing. We don't know the exact numbers. It's piling up. It was at least double figures. It might be in the 20s. Just in the last few days of people who have died out in the cold that were reached by outreach people. But he will not say they don't have the right to stay out there in the cold. It's their choice. If they want to freeze to death or risk that, it's their choice. Now, I respect choice. But there's a limit here when a society makes a difference. and thinks this person is mentally disturbed. This choice is clearly that harmful. Now it's a fine line. You want people to have choice. We all want choice, right? Why is he doing that? Well, he's an extremist. He's childlike in this, and he's stuck this policy stake in the ground, and he's going to follow it. Does he get savage for lack of empathy? Here's Riley Gaines. IS and discrimination goes away, and that's the goal for all of us to begin with. Yeah, I believe that words like compassion and empathy and inclusion and love, they've been weaponized against us, especially us as women. Now, coming up, Zohran Mamdani, Momda. All right, so she was pivoting to Zohran Mamdani, weaponized against us. And this plan by him is just ridiculous. By the way, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. announces the mental health program today. Again, this guy's legacy is going to be tremendous. I mean, he is in the stickiest of sticky things and a lot more is going to roll out just in the next six months. It's going to be amazing. As far as the great debate, I'm not saying I sign off on all of it. When he said on mental health today, I think it's pretty good. Phone lines are 855, 839, 1210. Joe in Columbus, talk radio 1210. Hi, Joe. Hey, good afternoon, Tom. Happy New Year. Happy New Year, Joe. Come on, it's Groundhog Day. Joe, quick guess. What's the SAT word of the day? Oh, geez. You can pick. No, come on. I said it already for the Grammys last night. I know, I know. The V word, the B word. You fill me with so much data while I'm on hold. Come on. Vap it. Vap it. Yeah. Vapid. All right. The one thing I remember is Sean talking about Kyle Lowry. Now, I know you could dunk a basketball in your day, but I'm a big Villanova fan. And going back to the old CYO days, we were never able to touch a basketball for at least the first week. We ran and ran, and we used to run teams off the court.
Not the other Catholic schools, but the public schools we played. We ran them off the court until their tongues were touching the floor. I don't know if that was the same way with you. No, I was busy shooting. We were shooting a lot. You went to Larry Bird High School then. King of peace. Shoot the ball. You're hot. You're a shooter. Keep shooting until you miss. Yeah, exactly. Then shoot some more. You're a shooter. Come on. My side answer, it has to do with the Catholic rituals. And this substance was a cure-all for everything. We weren't allowed to wear a cross or St. Christopher's medal until this substance was applied. And I thought it was. I thought it was the cure-all. I thought it made you live forever until I was in third grade. And me and my best friend Anthony, we're in, and we had about 900 kids in our grammar school. We were talking all through First Friday Mass thinking we were getting away with it. When Mass was over, good old sister Pascal was waiting at the end of our pew. She grabbed Anthony by his sideburns. She grabbed me. Dom, she grabbed me by my lips. Oh, my God. I could still feel the pop of her fingernails perforating my lips. She drug us over to this substance and started splashing it on us in front of the whole school. By the time I got home that day, my lips were swollen. They were swollen. It looked like somebody shot me with Botox before it's time. I got news for you. That substance is anything but holy. It's dirty. And that's holy water. It was sprayed and spritz on everything. Absolutely. Thank you, Joe. I have seen in the Exorcist. It burns. Come into me. Oh, by the way, last night, I was almost going to text you, but I was busy myself. But remember the Titans was on AMC. Oh, yeah. And there's at least five scenes. I don't know why I've landed on Game Ball, Ronnie Bass. You do love that line. Well, when Denzel's character tells Ronnie Bass, Sunshine from California. that I was the youngest. I was only 15, and we had eight brothers and sisters, and my father and mother both died in the same month, and I had to be the head of the family. Your team needs you. Go out there, make that pitch. And the other coach goes, what the hell? You were 15. He goes, well, maybe not. It is a great film, diversity in some of his own way, all time. And Danzel, and that's some of his best work. Yeah, really, really good. All right, 855, 8, 3, 9, 12, 10, you get a line, something associated with the Catholic Church, something along those lines. Coming up, one of the guys last night wearing the pin, the ice out pin, and explaining why that pin has power, and all the power of these people are telling themselves they have. Now, they do have a certain amount of cultural power. They dominate music, the people that were there last night. What does it get to, though, as far as actual power? I'm not a fan of lawsuits against a joke, but in this case, what Trump is threatening Trevor Noah with around the Epstein thing is interesting to me because I used to believe all these years, if you're that prominent of a figure, meaning name recognition, public figure like Trump, it's impossible to sue and win.
And yet Trump has won maybe six, seven, eight major defamation suits. George Stephanopoulos, CNN, all these things for, I don't know if it's a billion dollars yet or not. But he has stopped the media from believing they're bulletproof. You can just say anything you want. So he's suing Trevor Noah, apparently, based on the Epstein Greenland joke last night. And we'll see how that plays out. But just the political bent of this, I didn't see anybody nor would you say, well, I'll play a jelly roll too. I don't know his music that well, but I like him as a character. You know, and he's holding up a very small Bible and saying he had two things in his jail cell, this tiny Bible. and a radio. And that's what got him through. I mean, when you're tattooing your face, you know, it's difficult. Definitely. Yeah. And he made the point back to the Super Bowl. When's the last time they had a country show at halftime? And I think it was 23 years. Has country become universalized, you know, not the usual? Oh, it's become the new pop. Yeah. Has it become enough? Why won't they put that on? Well, Jay-Z is in charge of it. Tip of the hat, not that I'm saying, you know, you don't want to vilify somebody, but he's mentioned in the Epstein files with Harvey Weinstein was the allegation. Yeah, on an FBI call. Now, these things are, it's three million pages. And I don't know anybody. It might be a side question. Somebody in the wake of his death who still spread either good or ill might be it way beyond. I mean, Epstein is haunting people still. Three million pages on this guy. 855, 839, 1210. You'll get a line with Dom on Talk Radio 1210. I want to tell you about a new podcast from Odyssey called Family Lore. It's about interesting family stories and the truth behind them. It's available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your shows. This is Talk Radio 1210. WPHT On Demand. On Demand. All right, time to your Danos show. Red Bank, New Jersey School walkout, praised by Senator Andy Kim, allegedly around ice. Would you like to just... interview any of these kids as they walk out of school what it's about. It's fun. Well, it's freezing out. That's true. That might limit it a little bit, but they're still getting out of school causing a disruption. It's a thing. So now ice walkouts. And at the pre-K level, having little kids too cold outside walk around the classroom practicing their protest.
Over the weekend, a lot more of that. Expect to see, a lot more of it here. Expect to see them give up. Now, I don't know if Walter Sterling is listening at this time, given his hours. I didn't ask him, Henry, but he's putting out his theory on the air that somehow or another, the stuff that I'm saying is stopping President Trump from coming and striking doom here in Philadelphia. He didn't elaborate. He just told me that's his theory. I don't know. I keep saying it. Well, I wouldn't mind if Trump came here. I have to admit it. Why would I mind, Walter? If Trump came here, send people here, not what we saw with Bovino and Kristi Noem, but with a homeman coming here, I'd love it. It's deserved. Not only that, for talk radio's sake, oh my goodness. Rochelle, Larry Krasner, the whole gang. I don't know of another city in America that's quite gone as far as asking for it is Philadelphia with the mayor is the saving grace here. She can't get the snow off the streets. A little bit better today, I think we'll see a little bit of melting. Henry, where you are, have you given up and you still go back to Malvern? No, not necessarily, but I'd say about two thirds of the spots around me are dugout. Okay. But there's still a third. It's like their cars are, you know, they still get snow over the windshield and everything. It's like, what, do you guys do nothing? Right. It's been almost, what, two weeks now? Like I came down 21st today and there was not. pretty much snow on the ground. So that's an improvement. Yeah, and like I park on the street and like I don't think they're really ticketing right now because of, you know, the snow pile up. So yeah, it's been no issue just kind of parking kind of anywhere. But these blue cities, including Philadelphia, we're abysmal during this. I realize, you know, it's fairly difficult. But this is eight days in now. And their attitude seems to be. Well, we did whatever we're going to do. That's it. Pretend. I mean, I pretend a little bit you're going to do something else here. I've seen them, you know, using like, you know, like, uh, like construction, you know, vehicles. ATV? No, not ATVs. Like actual like, you know, like cat like type things to scoop the snow up and clear some spots on the side of the streets. Good. But that's only, you know, for the major streets, obviously. Yeah. I mean, you think you'd bail yourself out saying, all right, we didn't do well on this one with all that touting, as difficult as this is. And the mayor ought to make a case one way or another. You know, we'd like to hear it. Washington, all kinds of problems. New York, forget about it with Zohran Mamdani, including the homeless dying. So, you know, it's a great existential question. I wish he would go out there and say it. If you want to freeze to death in New York, the mayor is standing by your right to do it. He thinks you have a right to do it. I'd say it's a mental disturbance, and we have to protect you. Which one of us is breaking our brand? Is he breaking his brand by not showing empathy, the collective warmth of collectivism? Or am I breaking it by a guy's got a choice there?
He can lie down in the middle of the street with buses going around. He's got a choice. We believe in choice. He's trying to spin it that way. Well, you're conservatives believe in choice. Why don't people have a choice to live in a homeless encampment? Well, because it's illegal on the city streets because it's incredibly dangerous during this period of time and because people are dying. Let's go to Lance in South Philly on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Lance. How are you doing, Dom? Hi. Well, I won't be watching Babbs Bunny or Bugs Bunny or even an Easter Bunny. So let's get that out the way. For me, I'm not a Catholic, but I've exterminated a lot of them. Wait a minute, you did a lot of Catholic exterminations, huh? Oh, yeah, you know, I did a lot of St. Bartholomew over there on Harbison, St. S. Cipians, a lot of them. Okay. A lot of them. And, you know, Donald, I'm going to get on you for the captains having a bingo in the basement and bowling. Oh, yeah. You know, I worked bingo to get tips, and we had women, the smoke glance alone. I don't know how I survived today from that. And they'd be spitting. You had some of these women that had chewing tobacco, spitting in it, and they'd be playing upwards of 40 or 50 bingo cards at once. I know, I know, because I've been enough of them. Yeah, yeah. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, it's, uh, is, uh, is, it's, is, is the last and legacy of the Catholic church, uh, the influence in the architecture, you know, universities, courthouses, schools, museums, um, the, the church was meant to, and symbol, you know, mind,
From the instance, when you go inside of the Catholic Church, to the bells every day, it's the architecture. It touches everything. Absolutely. That is a great answer, Lance. How about Latin, the Latin mass, that Conspiri 2-2-0? That's an easy one to remember. Were you an older boy, Henry? No. Come on now. Were you captain of the safeties? What is that? I was captain of the safeties. The safeties are people that stood up and black traffic so kids could walk home. Eighth graders were blocking trucks in front of 26th Street. Yeah, our school wasn't that busy with the traffic. Oh, you got a big captain badge going across there, yes. And the alders stuff. Now, you can never drink that wine, but I don't know if it was Cabernet or whatever it was. It was not good. It was cheap. It was cheap, yeah, yeah. At Conspiri 2-2-0. The Latin Mass now, if you have the Latin Mass now, you know what's going to happen to you, the FBI? Well, that's a Biden era. We'd show up taking names and numbers. Why are you at a Latin Mass? Okay. More calls coming up at 2 o'clock, the great Scott Presler, who was in Punksitani today. But I put up on Twitter when he first started becoming known, he was doing these big cleanup campaigns. And the question he says that turned his life around. asking people who were ridiculing him in San Francisco. We'll ask him about that. He's got a couple of things that are breaking, still waiting. And I don't know what the holdup is. I was assured during the show this is going to happen, the news release from Turning Point USA, who will be the acts that they have? What would you put into this to drop people? I've already said Trump's got to be up there doing the dance, something like that. They've got to reveal something that people would care about. They have to have somebody who is on, like, I'm thinking of jelly roll. They're right there. You know what I mean? Talking about God and Jesus and all that and performing from this. He's not a top 10 worldwide report. Is he a top 50? I'd say he's a top 50. Today, yeah, definitely. Maybe a top 25. Yeah, exactly. All right, you snag someone like that. You got Creed. Somebody called in already recognizing that. You have Nikki Minaj and Kid Rock. Doing a duet. Oh my God, what could go wrong? Yeah, that's, what do they get a same time of my life? Well, I'm just taking the temperature. People don't want to face it. Does Nikki Minaj belong at this Christian and halftime event or does she belong at the Bad Bunny event? Let's face it, you know. Yeah, I mean, I could see her going with the bad bunny event, but she would draw the crowd you're kind of looking for. You're trying to draw, draw that mainstream crowd from, you know, the Super Bowl halftime show. It's not just for, you know, conservatives. You want to appeal to all audiences. Okay, there you go. I can't imagine the outfits. Oh, my God, the conflict of interest here. The nails alone. How do you shake hands with her?
I hate the long nail look. I just feel like I'm going to, something unsanitary about it. You know, and hers are among the most. I disagree. I feel like if you have those nails, you're going to keep them clean. Okay, yeah, but they take up stuff no matter what you do. Oh, by the way, pet gripe. Pet gripe. Oh, yeah, CVS. The CVS and Justin Hill, I guess all CVS is. Now, you can't just say, I just had to pick up an ointment for rope. You can't say the name and they hand you the ointment. I never wanted to sign with the pen for the obvious reason, cold and flusies. Everybody in the world's coming up there and sick. Now you have to go through a whole process. You have to put in your name, date of birth, what you're there for. It's like, six to eight touches. What's a sign-in? Sign it. Yes. And I was at a germaphober. Do I get it? They're in the health business. CVS. Why would you have people touching something all day long that a lot of people might be sick picking up a prescription? Yeah, you feel like that would be like a QR code. You could scan on your phone and then sign in that way. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So gloves the next time. Or I'm hitting the pants. I mean, this was extensive. And I'm... You know, I'm like coming out like, all right, Henry, you know, I'm ready to operate. I need to be antisept against us. God, why do that? I think they even know it. I think they're violating their own health code by doing it. You just can't do that. We all know where it comes from touching stuff. Right? Yeah, especially all the people at the, uh, The pharmacy, like those are the sick people for the most part picked up. That's my point. Yes. That's crazy. Come on chestnut hill. Shape up over there. All right, 855, 839. 12. I'm Dana Carvey. I'm David Spave. Flying the Wall's back for another season now on audio and video every Monday and Thursday. So many incredible guests will be joining us. Follow and listen to Fly on the Wall everywhere you get your podcasts. Too good. Be true.
1210. Thanks for listening to Talk Radio 1210 WPHT on demand. That's a repeat here. What is it with the sheriff's stuff here? What do you mean? I thought you played this before. No? I think it's the first time I've played it. Okay. All right. Sonny sounded a little bit different before. Okay. 855, 833, 9, 12, 10. You get on board. Curious type of thing. We talked to Stacey Garrity, School Choice Week, just passed. Josh Shapiro, big deal nationally, and will he sign off big, beautiful bill and all that? J.B. Pritzker, running for president, you know, the Buffalo Beef guy in Illinois, has said he is studying it carefully, doesn't know if he'll sign off on it or not. Is this indicative that if you're actually trying to separate yourself, some Democrat might be for school choice? We'll say. 27 governors have signed off, 26 of them Republicans. One, pollists in Colorado is the only one who has. And this is a big deal, a lot of money. It is civil rights issue of our time. You know all this, what it would do to free kids up. If J.B. Pritzker signs that, it's going to be fascinating. Then he'll go for it in the state like Illinois and use that to run for president. I don't think he will in the end, but it would be a lot to report. All right. Still no word. We're looking here. Turning Point USA told very reliably they're going to drive. I mean, the clock is ticking. They're going to drop their, I hope they drop it today and tell us a few of the performers. Then they're going to be adding people on. But I'd say they got to crack a million people watching, which their platforms are not good. The NFL is kind of snuffing them out. And if they do, they have the infrastructure. Turning Point USA has millions of people. If they get the word out through that and then other people that have had it. But. How are people going to know where to go? One American Network. Are you going to be able to go there easily? I don't even know. I have never been on that. It's low rent type of, you know. I'm surprised, maybe not, the power of the NFL. That's something like this, which has some chance of relatively big acts, big Christian base. Why is it not on Fox? They're scared to death of the NFL. Be the death note. The NFL would say, no football for you. But over the weekend, this developed. There's a deal, and we don't have to get in the weeds with NFL and ESPN. They get, I think it's 10% of ESPN. Big, huge deal. And there are people, a couple of NFL owners in this column, they were anonymous. saying we're worried about this because if this nonsense with Bad Bunny and others at the Super Bowl, Trump can hold this up for quite a long period of time. There are antitrust stuff involved. There's a lot of legal mumbo-jumbo involved.
I would welcome it. Usually I'm on the other side. Hey, we don't want the federal government and all that. I am so sick of the politics of the NFL, what they get away with, that they do what they want, that have Trump decided to do that with Department of Justice or the antitrust aspects of this, I'm not sure how strong the antitrust case is. It just seems incestuous to have these two elements together. It might pass, but it could take quite a long period of time. And if that's the case, do they really want to risk that? And the answer appears to be, yes. So I have some interesting prop bets, Josh Barton, I'll give you coming up of some funny stuff that might happen with this. And the prop bets are always funny things. But these owners are a bit wary of doing this. Why are they doing it? They're rolling the dice. And they're saying, look, this guy will draw. This could be an all-time record, even though the two teams are not. overwhelming to draw. I don't know what the other storyline would be for this other than the halftime. He could get the biggest halftime number ever, or there could be a spin-off factor here when people go, wait a minute, it's all going to be in Spanish? Yeah, that's the idea. Haven't we fought this fight already? Couldn't there be somebody else with them? He does a couple tunes in Spanish. They do something. Now the NFL's sending a clear message here. He's the biggest entertainer out there they view for their needs and they're going to go with this. And Henry, what I say that is music. A little bit that I can, I don't see anything here spectacular. I don't know enough, I don't think it's bad or anything, but I don't know that there's anything overwhelming. I guess it's a crossover thing, the Spanish thing. I think he's a very good performer. I think his songs are very catchy, even if you don't understand them. But I mean, this overwhelming, this global, this overwhelming, this is the guy. Yes. Okay. More than say a Taylor Swift at this point. Yeah, and this, you know what? Yeah, I would say so right now. He's number one. There's nothing out there quite on this level. Yes. All right. So it's a good choice for them on that level. But there's this little sticky matter of how the Trump administration might respond to this. And I think it could happen. I'd rather have the response that we get a great number with Turning Point USA. They have the bandwidth, you think, to attract some big name axe? Or do they? I mean, I hope I'm not telling you at 3 o'clock today. Oh, here are their acts. That's it. That would be bad. All right. Joe in South Philly, he's in on Talk Radio 12. Hey, Joe, afternoon to you. Good afternoon, Dom. And before I commence, I want to wish you and your family. A happy New Year and many, many others to follow. Well, thank you. Keep them coming. Happy New Year all the way. Yeah, there's no statute of limitations on that. Thank you. Thank you, Joe. I'm going to say it to the first five people I see after the show today. Happy New Year, as long as Henry's around. Who would have thought that this is such a tradition that some guy puts a statute of limitations? Larry David did it. Henry's worse.
Yeah. It's Brownhog's Day. You mentioned something. Yes, Joe. It's very pertinent when you said something associated to Catholic Church. Yes. Now, I will tell you what that is, Dom, because I was an altar boy, and I'll tell you how it works. You go into a church. You notice, Dom, that the altar is elevated. You also notice that a few steps to the right going down to where the altar boys are. Now, that area where the Eucharist is is considered sanctuary. They hijacked that word from the Catholic Church. That's sanctuary. Sanctity, sanctify, sacred, and only the priest. is permitted there. That's sanctuary. That's it. That is a good one. Thank you, Joe. Yep. Absolutely. Boy, these have been some great ones. We have the one the other day. Because I'm going to tell you about Diane Cardano coming up and the great turnout we had. But people were arguing. They still, a couple of these guys with, well, why not Sally? And I try to say, wait a minute, Sally start. You got to go back 50 years. You say, Sally, you know who it is. To a person, almost, though, was only one out of four that I interviewed Henry. Three out of four said, no, I wouldn't have said Utley with Chase. There you go. Small sample size. But people love the side question. They came up to me. And the idea the other day was somebody whose first name is enough. You know who we're talking about just by saying the first name in our area. Of course, they started saying international stars and all. Yeah, that's not it. Yeah, exactly. So the side question worked well. And the turnout for Diane Cardano was big time. What we talked about with her on Saturday, you can talk with her still right now. If you're over 60 and even thinking about selling in 2026, do not start too late as sellers are losing thousands before the sign ever goes up. They fix the wrong things. They guess on price. And they get blindsided at inspections. The subjects that she covered, the tips that she gave from this big seminar on Saturday. The number of questions people got asked, specific questions you can ask about how to put this into play. The biggest one, I guess, is should you downsize now or stay put? People wanted to know about capital gains. The biggest one I brought up when I was talking, how to declutter 30 years of your stuff. Oh, man. What do you fix or not fix? Should you sell as is? And how to price and market your home to sell fast. That's something people really wanted to know. So if you missed the seminar, just call Diane today at 215-576-866. She's ready to show you how to price and market your home to sell fast and effectively. Again,
215-576-866 or you can do it online. 215-576-866.6.6.com. This is Dark Radio 1210. W-P-Hat-T-on-Demand. On-demand. All right, Dr. Girodano's show. This is Groundhog Day. Is that the idea? What do you mean? I thought it was again, same thing. No, it's the first time I played it. All right. All right. I thought I heard it four times. All right. I don't know. All right. Maybe it's great. I thought I was just playing the regular tracks. But, yeah, I thought it was the first time I played this. Come on, Henry. What are you talking about? You're the one. All right. All right. Here's the branding from Kid Rock for this big halftime show. He says about Bad Bunny. He says he's having a dance party, wearing a dress and singing in Spanish, cool. We plan to pay great songs for folks who love America. So you have Kid Rock so far. Brantley Gilbert. Thumbail, Henry, any Brantley Gilbert what we should expect. I have never heard of these people. I have never heard of Brantley Gilbert either, to be honest. Yeah, I didn't have a chance to Google it. Lee Bryce. I've heard that name, but I'm not sure why. Country, though, right? I think they're all country, yeah. And Gabby Amy Coney Barrett. Yeah. All right. So, okay, that's what we have so far, Kid Rock. We're approaching this show like David and Goliath competing with the pro football machine in a global pop superstar is almost impossible. Or is it? All right. So those are the announced lineup so far. Creed, and you made a good point about why people would suggest that, remember there's going to be blowback here. They know deep down, you do this concert, and you are going to experience pushback in some way, shape, or form by other promoters, et cetera. You know, you're going to be out of the loop. Is Kid Rock able to be doing this? Yeah, I guess he could, right? His audience, et cetera. So that's what we have so far. A little bit shaky to me since I only know Kid Rock, to be honest here. Lee Bryce's name, I've heard. I'm not sure anything more about that. And they're going to bill it as that. They need something more. They need a lot more to draw here. Let's go to Robert and Ben Salem on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Robert. Hey, Dom Henry, good to talk to you guys today. Dave here. And, I'm not sure what you're talking about. That was the first time I heard that lead in, too. Thank you, Robert. Wait a minute. It's been playing four times. What's going on here? It's okay. Sometimes, sometimes when you get older, you get a lot more days. Well, I know it's Groundhog Day, so we can, yeah, and I know that's Sherrill last night we talked about. Yes, yeah. That was classic, Henry. But anyway, while you guys can argue over Bad Bunny, although I think Tim McGrath, didn't he do the stadium series concert last night, so he's available? Maybe he would add on to that ticket. Well, look, the problem is they're all afraid. It's just like the trans thing.
They're going to get whacked somehow or another, they know, by the NFL. The NFL is going to squelch this. They are going to come after Kid Rock, even. I don't know if they can or not, but they're a thuggish organization, and that's what it's about. And you're going to watch Bad Bunny and shut up. Well, we are an award, Dom, to maintain our country and Western culture, and sadly, the NFL is on the other side of that war, and we need to get used to that. They are. They are on the wrong side of just about everything imaginable to me. Absolutely. But while everybody's arguing over this, I got it made because that's my birthday weekend, and I'm going to have a birthday party during halftime, so I'm going to miss everything. Ah, okay, good plan. But I hope to... I hope the viewership works out in a nice, even way. And to the left winger, you're saying, oh, you want to cancel him. We're not trying to cancel anybody. Nobody's going to stop bad bunny from doing world tours and making money. We're just saying we don't want to listen to it. There's a big difference between the two. I agree. And again, how is it America's number one thing? This is a pro football. is beyond gargantuan. It's bigger than U.S. Steel. Remember that in Godfather, too. We're bigger than U.S. Steel. Well, guess what? The NFL is bigger than U.S. Steel, natural gas? I don't know what's bigger than the NFL. What's bigger than the NFL? Because it's such a... It's such a big part of American culture, and that's what the left want to undermine. So we can beat that, Tom. We can watch whatever other things or do, I mean, the puppy bowl, if you're into that sort of thing. But I'll get right to, I'll get right to my side question. I am going to go a little off the beaten path, and I am going to choose the Swiss Guard, the private mercenaries that defend the Pope. Now, while they have terrible fashion sense, they are an extremely effective group. And I hearken back to, in fact, we might not have a Pope if it wasn't for the Swiss Guard. In 1527, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Charles V of France, decided that he had enough of the Pope, and he sent 20,000 troops down, and they sacked Rome. 2,000 of those troops cornered Pope Clemens to 7th. in St. Peter's Basilica, and he only had 189 Swiss guards protecting him. They were able to get him out to another castle and saved his life, and 147 of those Swiss guards lost their lives in the process. So they lost like 75% of their guy protecting the Pope, but they got it done, and they still have a Pope for the church. for better or for worse. But that's my answer, man. You guys have a great day, God. Thank you, boy, the research, the genius of this stuff, too. They look pretty ineffectual to me. I don't want those Swiss guards. It's the uniform. Like, even if they're the most highly trained, skilled individuals on the planet, you're going to, that jester's going to beat me up. I think people agree with me. The Secret Service doubtful.
You know, anymore. They're not the crem to the crem. There are holes there, you know. Yeah, they're like the opposite of the Swiss guard. It's like they looked apart. Yes. They do. And it wasn't the initial shooting. That was bad enough of Trump. When they let that maniac be at the golf course hiding in the weeds, pushes for 14 hours or whatever it was, he's eating sandwiches out there or is the Secret Service. No. I don't know if they've reformed or not, but when you're dealing with this, you need people that are just beyond relentless and they're not. I don't know who is in the world that you would risk it with your life, but not necessarily the Secret Service. Okay, Scott Presler, just returning from Punk Satani with us, got a lot to unpack with him. I'm not impressed with the guest list so far, the Star Study. Kid Rock is the only one we know. We'll see if they're going to dribble anybody. If you say anything about the other three, are they all country? And is it that the NFL, well, what about Nikki Minaj? I think she would do it. But you know what? I understand. Come on. How can a Christian group have Nikki Banach performing there in this manner? Because you're trying to appeal to a broad audience, not appealing to a certain audience. Yeah, but there's the whole point. There's a limit here. Come on. There's a limit. I don't think so. If this is all about eyeballs, then you get what gets the most eyeballs. Yeah, but I think they're trying to do it in a sense of some propriety. It's okay for her to be up there with Trump. But at this big Christian event, Oh, my God. Right, Henry, you're an impresario. Well, and then it's just going to be doomed to fail if you're only limiting it to that scope. Well, I mean, Kid Rock is hardly, you know, somebody you think of as the stanchion of decency and all that, but he's acceptable. Right. Well, if he's, ugh. Well, we're drawing, I feel like we're drawing imaginary lines here. It's like, oh, I'm trying to, trying to tell you. Well, I think I would be tempted. Yeah, I guess I'll admit it. I'd put her in there because I want to win too. But I'm admitting my failings here. Tag it put Nikki in. Yeah, but it's Nicky, but not look at that dress. Tag her in there. Come on. The NFL must go down. There's a greater good here. Get another Nikki Minaj out there. All right, 855, 839, 1210. I'm Jenna Fisher, and I'm Angela Kinsey.
